Gone to Canada the saga continues. . .


I know if you're here then you've seen the "libs heading north" thing. Aren't they showing their 'racism' and 'intolerance' and not their vaunted 'appreciation of culture' by NOT heading south- to Mexico?
They worship the Mexican 'undocumented worker', and the culture they bring north.

I can think of at least two reasonsfor that, and they are:

1. They're going to reinforce the earlier wave of draft-dodgers we sent in the 60's. The ones who've helped push Canada into the pro-French anti-anglo sphere.
   
2. They like the wages and Gov't healthcare they have heard about (can't blame them for not wanting Mexican wages, healthcare or education)

OK, Mexico has some of the same opportunities as Canada, and even some moder, first world cities to live in in addition to some advantages nobody's mentioned.
- Mexico has a nice warm climate too boot.
-And a low cost of living.
-And a wonderfully diverse culture (we KNOW just how much Libs love diversity)
-Mexicans running everything- AND they don't have to fight us evil, cro-magnon red staters in order to get that happening- save alot of time).

Maybe they can head south and put their ideals into action.

Ok, is this a new thing?
Where were these kind of woman teachers when I was in middle school?
I would have loved to have the bragging rights to bagging a hot teacher.

I think of all the education that I missed.
But then my homework was never quite like this.
Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad,
I’m hot for teacher.
I got it bad, so bad,
I’m hot for teacher.

What's wrong with these women? The ones I've seen are hot, not the spinsterly ones we had in middle school, who probably didn't have the choices these babes have.

The only thing I can imagin is that they want to be a "wholistic" teacher ;-D, and be sure the kid is "ready" to face the world- or that those teachers are somehow , , , damaged goods in one way or another.

I think of all the education that I missed.
But then my homework was never quite like this.
Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad,

Over here we call it "scalping"

According to ThisIsLondon The 60s group Cream are holding a reunion, and tickets: "have appeared on auction sites such as eBay for up to £2,000 for four, an increase of more than 300 per cent.

The premiums have enraged fans who failed to get tickets through "legitimate" routes and now face having to pay over the odds for the concerts.


There are also fears about "cowboy" agents who do not give accurate information or may even fail to supply the tickets. Peter Tudor, chairman of the National Arenas Association-said Cream fans should treat websites offering tickets with the utmost caution."

The exchange rate is about $1.70 to the Pound

Dear President Bush,
Dear Vice President Cheney
Dear Senator Cornyn,
Dear Senator Hutchinson,
Dear Representative Paul,
Dear Representative Doggett

Hi, I'm just wondering if you and the rest of the Republicans are going to start actually acting like conservatives with this budget. I understand there are things that can't be forseen, like the cost of the War on Terror and such.

I don't mean that, I'm wondering if you have anyone on your staff who is actually going to READ the final spending bill- BEFORE -you vote on it?

Seems like everytime you people vote to approve the bill, and the President signs it, we hear about the boatloads of pork the nobody knew was in there- because nobody bothered to actully READ the thing. I'm sure you have an extra staffer, or intern just sitting around extra that you could get to maybe just skim the thing, and cull the pork for you.

If you want to explain more of the budget prosess, I'd love to post your response in my little bloglett where this letter is going. You can write to me, or respond in comments at A trainwreck in Maxwell

Thank you for your time,
KurtP


P.S. Can I get a retirement plan like the one you have in D.C.?

Well, it's finally out about the real meaning of "Compassionate Conservatism"

Anyone who was a real conservative could see that "compassionate conservatism" was just a codeword for Liberal-lite.

In his first term we wached "W" using a grain shovel to throw money out the window, and then come up with the perscription drug fiasco (anybody know exactly how much over-budget it really is? ) which I seem to remember something like 25%-BEFORE it even starts the money sluce.

Then there was the illegal amnesty balloon.

BUSH BUDGET DIRECTOR BRAGS OF SHIFTING TAX BURDEN TO RICH
Mon Feb 07 2005 15:42:56 ET

The White House budget director Josh Bolten on Monday bragged to reporters how the nation most-wealthy will see an increase in tax burden under Bush's new budget.

"If you look at the president's tax cuts as a totality, the income tax, those at the upper end of the spectrum are now paying a larger share of the income tax than they were before," Bolten explained.

"An example, the top 5 percent in income in this country -- that's people making above about $140,000 -- without the president's tax cuts that top 5 percent would be paying about less than 52 percent of our total income tax revenue.

"After the president's tax cut that group is paying more than 54 percent of our total tax revenue. So the notion that the president's tax cuts have somehow made the code less progressive is wrong. The president's tax cuts have made the tax code more progressive."

Developing...

Ok, maybe they're making subtle digs at the libs (progressives), but the increas of 2% of taxes for the top %5 of taxpaying Americans isn't what I'd call fiscally conservative.

Gawd I wish we could get a REAL conservative in power. I don't care which party they're from.

San Antonio traffic update

Ok, I'm writing on Monday morning. It's raining here. Really raining. The Camino Real bridge over the Blanco river will be closed soon.

I just got back from signing todays timesheet; and listening to WOAI to and from San Antonio. They're only reporting the major wrecks today. The ones that have one or two lanes blocked on major throughfares (like I-10, I-35, the two loops), and there are more than several. I'd bet I got passed by a couple who are on the radio now, got passed on the way in- when I was going 10-20 MPH less than the speed limit.

You notice I didn't call them accidents. An accident is when something unforseen happens. A wreck happens when you are going 20 MPH faster than anyone else on the road- in blinding rain, on slick roads, and darting in and out of traffic- without (usually) turn signals. You deserve your increased premiums, and the ticket I hope you got for you stupidity. I just hope you didn't hurt anyone that was driving the right way.

You people in other states might need to know that in Texas, if you're over 18, or the graduate of a home drivers-ed class you only need to take a written test- no practical. We have a 16 yr-old who'll be taught at home, so we were looking at the
Tx DPS site to see what the requirements are.

They are basicaly 1) Do it at school 2) Private drivers school or 3) Parental drivers ed (with approved study courses).
I don't have a real problem with the concept, exept that the kids are going to be taught by someone who really doesn't have that great of a grasp on safe driving themselves, and/or just gundecks the classrom 32 hours so little Johhny and Jenny can get out on the road with their brand new Expedition.

The problem I have with the lack of practical road tests is also Mondo the Mujado who comes from that 3rd world country just south of us, and gets behing the wheel of a 3/4 ton dually only takes a written test (in spanish). No problem you say- exept that previously, the most advanced transportation he'd driven was a BURRO.

Yep, lets get those illegals a drivers license, they'll drive alot safer.

Ok, where's the wall to wall pics?
According to Drudge there was ANOTHER incident of indecency in an Iraqi prison!

I, as a red blooded American male want to see the pics of this. I mean the MSM was all over Abu Graib -as soon as they had pics they were all over the place- you couldn't miss them if you tried.


I'm asking the MSM,,, WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?

Show the pics.

Looks like blogger is having "issues"

I can't get it to modify my Ted Kennedy post, so I won't sound like I'm shouting.
Now It won't do any spell checks. And I NEED spellcheck.

As long as I'm blathering (sorry no "fake-but-accurate- TaNG transcripts), I don't know if I want to redo my Haloscan comments, or hit counter -Ignorance is really bliss, sometimes.

I don't know if I want/should sign things as just me, or as trainwreck when I make comments in blogs? I don't know if this bloglette is worth the trouble.

Guess I'll just leave this as a practice blog for now.

Here is a quick test to find out your political leaning. ( If you didn't know already)

I came out as a CONSERVATIVE! (yeah, no chit) with a score of 40% personal and 80% economic. Guess that means I have little personality.

In a related note, I got the test at a new Blogger board by and for bloggers. I forgot where I got to there from, so can't credit it- so no hatemail, please. On the other hand, hatemail is somekind of feedback, anyway, sooooo- go for it.

What's the Iraqi word for chutzpah?

Seems as if the Sunnis (the ones that boycotted the vote) don't like the results of the election. Seems like I've heard it before- by a sore loser (or just a loser?) who said something like 'an election where people couldn't or wouldn't vote' didn't count.

Now guess who wants to throw a temper-tantrum, and STILL be seen as a responsible represntative of their people? Guess who wants to have an equal say in running the country?

NO, it's not the Dems- this time. I can see how it's confusing, your party's in power for 30+ years, and some westerner comes in and gets you tossed out on your ass. Yep, it's the Sunnis, the boys from Saddams' hood- who read the Dem handbook, and liked what it said.

Siigghhhh,,,,,,,, and they'll get some bones tossed to them, too- the good cuts.

Just wondering . . .

Ted Kennedy (D-mASS) is bloviating about getting out of Iraq (again), when will SOMEONE stand up and remind him that we're still in Kosovo (remember that?) with no exit strategy even mentioned.

The big difference is that Bush actually ACCOMPLISHED something that has a chance of lasting after we leave.



Ok, I've tried to get this post to post as usual, must be something in blogger that keeps it this size. There wasn't anything extraordenary about this post- just blogger being blogger.

Cell Phone gripes (part deux)

According to University of Utah psychology professor David Strayer, "If you put a 20-year-old driver behind the wheel with a cell phone, their reaction times are the same as a 70-year-old driver who is not using a cell phone"

I Know that you aren't concentrating on driving while talking on a cell phone. I have one myself- and have made bone-headed mistakes (just lucky there were no accidents- or many P.O.'d drivers).

Read the rest and what they have to say about handsfree phones.

Amazing about how the libs want to curtail anything they don't do for safety reasons, but make excuses for proven problems in what they like to do.

All I can ask is WHY

We're giving- yes GIVING free money to the terroristic Palestinians?
At least "W" could tell them to ACT like they were halfway civilized before receiving the bribe.

The results are in

for the winner of the 2004 Bulwer-Lytton parody contest.
From this:
"It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents--except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness."
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Paul Clifford

To these:
She resolved to end the love affair with Ramon tonight . . . summarily, like Martha Stewart ripping the sand vein out of a shrimp's tail . . . though the term "love affair" now struck her as a ridiculous euphemism . . . not unlike "sand vein," which is after all an intestine, not a vein . . . and that tarry substance inside certainly isn't sand . . . and that brought her back to Ramon. Bulwer-Lytton Winner Dave Zobel Manhattan Beach, CA

She sipped her latte gracefully, unaware of the milk foam droplets building on her mustache, which was not the peachy-fine baby fuzz that Nordic girls might have, but a really dense, dark, hirsute lip-lining row of fur common to southern Mediterranean ladies nearing menopause, and winked at the obviously charmed Spaniard at the next table. Jeanne Villa Novato, CA

As he entered the room within which so many a wild night of their sweltering love affair had been spent, the White Rabbit regarded her with benevolent eyes, her posture such that he suspected something was wrong, but before he could speak Alice unburied her face from her trembling hands and between her intense sobs he made out the words, "I'm late . . . I'm late."

It was a dark and stormy night--actually not all that dark, but more dusky or maybe cloudy, and to say "stormy" may be overstating things a bit, although the sidewalks were still wettish and smelled of ozone, and, truth be told, characterizing the time as night is a stretch as it was more in the late, late afternoon because I think Oprah was still on.

Let there be bussing

Expanded public transportation, that is. According to this A.P.T.A. article, 98% of respondents agree.

"With traffic congestion, pollution, and oil shortages all getting worse, now is the time to shift to affordable, efficient public transportation," APTA director Howard Collier said. "Fortunately, as this report shows, Americans have finally recognized the need for everyone else to do exactly that."
Of the studys' 5,200 participants, 44 percent cited faster commutes as the primary reason to expand public transportation, followed closely by shorter lines at the gas station. Environmental and energy concerns ranked a distant third and fourth, respectively.
Anaheim, CA, resident Lance Holland, who drives 80 miles a day to his job in downtown Los Angeles, was among the proponents of public transit.
"Expanding mass transit isn't just a good idea, it's a necessity," Holland said. "My drive to work is unbelievable. I spend more than two hours stuck in 12 lanes of traffic. It's about time somebody did something to get some of these other cars off the road."

Don't forget growing government bureaucracy's, too

Public support for mass transit will naturally lead to its expansion and improvement, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials said.
"With everyone behind it, we'll be able to expand bus routes, create park-and-ride programs, and build entire new Metrolink commuter-rail lines," LACMTA president Howard Sager said. "It's almost a shame I don't know anyone who will be using these new services."
Sager said he expects wide-scale expansion of safe, efficient, and economical mass-transit systems to reduce traffic congestion in all major metropolitan areas in the coming decades.

The American Public Transportation Association is kicking off a "Get on the bus" drive.

Collier said he hopes the study serves as a wake-up call to Americans. In conjunction with its release, the APTA is kicking off a campaign to promote mass transit with the slogan, "Take The Bus... I'll Be Glad You Did."
The campaign is intended to de-emphasize the inconvenience and social stigma associated with using public transportation, focusing instead on the positives. Among these positives: the health benefits of getting fresh air while waiting at the bus stop, the chance to meet interesting people from a diverse array of low-paying service-sector jobs, and the opportunity to learn new languages by reading subway ads written in Spanish.
"People need to realize that public transportation isn't just for some poor sucker to take to work," Collier said. "He should also be taking it to the shopping mall, the supermarket, and the laundromat."

Hang up and DRIVE

I'm really getting tired of that hour long commute twice a day. People do me, and the rest of the drivers on the road a favor- HANG UP and DRIVE !

There were almost two wrecks in front of me because the drivers were too busy jacking their jaws at somebody miles away. I almost got T-boned a day ago because a blond teen-ager couldn't be bothered to stop at a STOPSIGN in her BIMMER because she was f*cking with her phone.

There are studies out (you go find the stats) that a person on a cell phone is as bad a driver as someone with .08 B.A.C.- I think they drive like they're even drunker than that. And ummmm LEGISLATORS... handsfree phones aren't the answer.

Truckers have been using C.B. radio since it's been available. The BIG difference is that they're talking to other DRIVERS. Not conveying some abstract idea to someone thousands of miles away, or giving instructions about how to unjamb the coppier.

Give it up already

Christ, Bush has won every national election he's been in NUMEROUS times each. He won several times in the 2000 FLA theft attempt. Now in OHIO, MSNBC is reporting - on guess which side - the problems there.

Mostly in DEM controlled precincts

Finally, , ,scientific proof

That conservatives and Liberals think diferently.

Christopher Orlet says in his blog that Liberals are more emotionally driven.

According to researchers at UCLA, differences were noted mainly in regard to the expression of empathy: "One Democrat's brain lit up at an image of John Kerry 'with a profound sense of connection, like a beautiful sunset,'" according to researcher Joshua Freedman. Brain activity in a Republican shown an image of Bush was "more interpersonal, such as if you smiled at someone and they smiled back." In other words Republicans may be better at building real and realistic relationships, while Democrats are more likely to see the connection between a Democratic victory and continued and unimpeded flow of government handouts.


Go read the rest, it's good.

More tax on the "poor"

According to WOAI 1200am in San Antonio, a DEMOCRAT state senator up in Austin is advocating raising the cigarette tax by $1 a pack.

Yep as most people know, the majority of smokers are in the lower education and income brackets.

I guess as long as it's for the "good" of the people- and advanced by a Dem, it's ok to target the poor for a tax increase. But where are the advocates for the poor? The ones who always jump on the bandwagon when a Republican wants to change ANYTHING about the tax structure when it affects the "poor".

Why do illegals need drivers licenses?

I'm sitting here looking at properties in Marion, and have O'reilly on in the background. He's got an anti illegal guy on and a Lib. Both are arguing about illegals w/ drivers licenses, and if it's needed or not. It sounds like Hannity and Colms.

Anyway, the question is WHY let illegals have drivers licenses, or any other quasi-legal ID? I know, the Libs and their fellow travelers say "it's a "safety issue".
HOW? They were breaking the law when they came here, have been driving without a DL or insurance since they got the vehicle. Does ANYBODY actually think that an illegal will go through all the BS involved in getting a "real" DL? What about the outrageous insurance premium?
I guess the answer to that is get the GOV'T to insure them (cringing) to, ya-know be sure they're "legal". That goes with the FREE schooling -bilingual of course wouldn't want the kids to actually KNOW English in America, FREE medical care-thanks taxpayers,
free/reduced food/WIC, etc- thanks taxpayers again.
These are the people coming from a (more or less) anti-American third world country dragging us the US down to their level with their third world living habits. We don't/won't do a damn thing because it's politically incorrect to expect them to accommodate themselves to us, the US.
You have all these apologists out there bending us to their will. WHY? Are they too LAZY to learn to live like an American? Are they to pendejo to learn to live like an American? Is their third world civilization BETTER than ours?
I want to know WHY we have to accommodate them. No other culture came to America and EXPECTED us to change to their will.

I just had one of my best days as a journalist today. As luck would have it, our journey North was delayed just long enough see I could attend a visit today here by Defense Secretary Rumsfeld. I was told yesterday that only soldiers could ask questions so I brought two of them along with me as my escorts. Before hand we worked on questions to ask Rumsfeld about the appalling lack of armor their vehicles going into combat have. While waiting for the VIP, I went and found the Sgt. in charge of the microphone for the question and answer session and made sure he knew to get my guys out of the crowd, , ,

But are they "real" vets?

Remember all those "nam vets" who were having all that trouble. The ones wanting gov't help because of their experiences? The ones who, after just a little research turned out to be fake vets?

According to "advocates" the Iraqi vets are starting to turn up in homeless shelters.

"I drove off in my truck. I packed my stuff. I lived out of my truck for a while," Seabees Petty Officer Luis Arellano, 34, said in a telephone interview from a homeless shelter near March Air Force Base in California run by U.S.VETS, the largest organization in the country dedicated to helping homeless veterans, , ,
, , ,A gunner's mate for 16 years, Arellano said he adjusted after serving in the first Gulf War. But after returning from Iraq, depression drove him to leave his job at the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. He got divorced." There are no Gunners Mate rates in the SeaBees, GMs are temporaraly assigned to Battalions.


And they talk about gov't medical care. I know gov't medical care, that's why I want my own Dr.

Read about it here.

They're there -I'm not, but, , ,

I know it's from MyWay News, but doesn't this strike you as a bunch of crybabies?

Spc. Thomas Wilson had asked the defense secretary, "Why do we soldiers have to dig through local landfills for pieces of scrap metal and compromised ballistic glass to up-armor our vehicles?" Shouts of approval and applause arose from the estimated 2,300 soldiers who had assembled to see Rumsfeld.
Rumsfeld hesitated and asked Wilson to repeat his question.
"We do not have proper armored vehicles to carry with us north," Wilson, 31, of Nashville, Tenn., concluded after asking again.

U.S. soldiers and Marines in Iraq are killed or maimed by roadside bombs almost daily. Adding armor protection to Humvees and other vehicles that normally are not used in direct combat has been a priority for the Army, but manufacturers have not been able to keep up with the demand.

Wilson's ex-wife, Regina, said she was not surprised he challenged Rumsfeld. Ex? Because he shoots his mouth off?
"It wouldn't matter if it was Bush himself standing there," she said. "He would have dissed him the same."
Wilson joined the National Guard in June 2003; previously, he had served about four years in the Air Force, beginning in 1994. Ok, so the guy KNEW what he was getting into.

Wilson and others, however, had criticisms of their own - not of the war but of how it was being fought.
During the question-and-answer session, another soldier complained that active-duty Army units seem to get priority over National Guard and Reserve units for the best equipment used in Iraq. Crying about what other troops have is as old as armies are.
"There's no way I can prove it, but I am told the Army is breaking its neck to see that there is not" discrimination of that kind, Rumsfeld said.

Yet another soldier asked how much longer the Army would continue using its "stop loss" power to prevent soldiers from leaving the service who are otherwise eligible to retire or return to civilian life at the end of their enlistment. I didn't read the whole contract

Rumsfeld said this condition was simply a fact of life for soldiers in times of war. Critics, including some in Congress, say it's proof the Army has been stretched too thin by war.
"It's basically a sound principle, it's nothing new, it's been well understood" by soldiers, he said. "My guess is it will continue to be used as little as possible, but that it will continue to be used."

Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., told Rumsfeld in a letter Wednesday that his response to the question about armored vehicles was "utterly unacceptable" and that it was the duty of the government to provide safety equipment.
"Mr. Secretary, our troops go to war with the Army that our nation's leaders provide," he wrote.
I'd REALLY like to see Sen DODDs voting record on military spending.

At the Pentagon, spokesman Larry Di Rita said production of armored Humvees had increased from 15 to 450 a month since fall 2003, when commanders in Iraq started asking for them because of insurgents' heavy use of roadside explosives.

Doggie Islands , , , brought to you by your liberal pals

That's right, Doggie Retirement Islands. I was looking for things about Marion, Tx. when I came across Dog Island.

Yes, send your favorite dog to Doggie Island to live free, like he wants to. He secretly wants to be a WOLF. He doesn't want to be living in your air conditioned house on a sofa. He wants to have to hunt down rabbits, and fight other dogs for the privilege. He looks like he's contented lying on your bed getting free goodies, but secretly he resents you.

"Over 2,500 dogs are already enjoying a better life at Dog Island. Separated from the anxieties of urban life, dogs on Dog Island are healthy dogs who live a natural, healthy and happy life, free from the stress and hardship associated with daily live among humans.
They live with almost limitless space, and tens of thousands of rabbits, rodents, fish and other natural prey. Surrounded by thousands of other dogs, this is the only place for them to be truly social and create healthy families."

Some of the the FAQs:
"My dog is very high strung and often gets into fights with other dogs. I can control this now, but what happens when fights break out on the island?
Fights break out occasionally, but this is not a real issue, because eventually, the dogs learn to get along. Every now and then some dogs gang up and kill and then eat another dog, but this is just natural, and it's okay for it to happen now and then, but normally this is not the case."

"My dog seems happiest lazy and warm, curled up by a fire. Will he really be happier at Dog Island?
Yes. Studies have shown that dogs with this lazy tendency also lack a luster for life which is revived by connecting to the great outdoors. Dog Island stands by it's beliefs in giving dogs a real chance to connect with nature and find their true life mate."

They even have a picture of a dog enjoying the sunset --Awwwww.

Do they have Doggie Drs, along with doggie husbands and wives? To take care of little things like Ticks and Fleas, mange, Heartworms, Intestinal worms, grooming shaggy dogs? Just to to keep humans at bay, where they belong, so doggies can enjoy nature in all its glory?

It's a liberal self parody

You just can’t make up what the BocaNews.com has to say about those immature, selfish, haughty, whinny liberals progresives reality biased Kerry supporters. This time they had so many needing ‘help’ that they were treated en mass.

“The first of several free (free? NOTHING is FREE, who’s tax dollars are paying for it?) noontime therapy sessions at the American Health
Association in Boca Raton was designed to treat what mental health
counselors have dubbed Post Election Selection Trauma (PEST).
“If I had a cardboard cutout of President Bush, and these people wanted to
throw darts at it, I would let them do it,” Robert J. Gordon, AHA executive
director, told the Boca News after the session. “It’s no joke. People with
PEST were traumatized by the election. If you even mention religion, their
faces turn blister-red as they shout at Bush.” Of course- they’re LIBERALS.

“I’m scared,” said one man. “Democracy is at stake and nobody is rising to
protest this president.”
“I want to be a patriot, but it’s impossible to be a patriot in an immoral
war,” ( I thought Liberals were trying to over turn “morals”) said another participant, a woman. “Bush is breaking up marriages and dividing families by keeping our troops in Iraq.” We won’t mention “No Fault” divorce, will we?

“The media outlets, especially Rush Limbaugh and his ilk on talk radio,
scare our patients to death,” said Gordon, facilitator for the meetings.
“More than anything else, people with PEST tremble physically.”

According to AHA officials, symptoms of PEST are similar to post-traumatic
stress disorder. They include nightmares, sleeplessness, hostility,
listlessness, and emotional outbursts including threats to leave the
country. Sounds like the DU to me.
“There’s an overall sense of emotional helplessness and abandonment,” said
Sheila Cooperman, a licensed AHA psychotherapist from Delray Beach. “In
psychology, we call it ‘learned helplessness.’


I won’t ruin the rest, just go read and laugh at them.
