To gather thousands of people to protest for 6 guys who attacked ONE other guy and sent him to the hospital in a coma.
See these 6 guys just happen to be black, and one of them has already been well known the the local law enforcement agencys. They beat the cr@p out of a white guy and got thrown in jail......about six months ago.
The whole thing started with three other white guys hanging some nooses over a tree limb near the High school.
The six-on-one attack took place in an entirely different location at an entirely different time......with an entirely unrelated white guy.
Anyway, not one to miss a way to bring racial turmoil to the cameras (and probably some compensation ~ahem~), Jesse and the rest are down in Jena, La. protesting the boys being in jail, and going in front of the Judge.
Because it's, like racist to hold someone accountable for their actions if they happen to be black. Colored. Africa-American. Not white , or whatever.

Now, there's a party I could look at more closely
Unless, of course they look like the Democratic leadership.

Kinda catchy- in a bubblegum way
I know the 'Obama girl' but not the rest.
Enjoy the,,,calasthentics
Ohh,,,,it's a salute to the troops!
Good job girls!

THAT didn't take long, did it?
No, I'm not talking about Juice putting another one over on the legal system.
The Libs in Congress are ressurecting the Amnesty bill under the *sigh* benevolent DREAM ACT which is ostensibly to help 'immigrants' access their higher education.
This is nothing more than a back door way to force the amnesty bill on America. It's oddly enough, sponsered by Democrats who are so compassionate that they want to force you to pay the freight on the illegal community, and now they want to force you and your kids to take a back seat in college to the litters of third world lawbreakers.
Because, you know, they *care*.
Give your Congresscritter another shout, and remind them that YOU can vote and that you don't want to reward lawbreakers.
You know the old Bible story about the sins of the fathers don't you?

Every time I hear about the "subprime" motgages
and the crisis that the lenders (who really should have known better) caused themselves...
I just have to wonder *why* we don't hear who the people are that can't pay?
I mean are they trailer trash that decided to move up?
Blacks out of the ghetto?
Asians?
It couldn't be that all these big banks and lending companies were pawning off loans to people who couldn't actually...PROVE who they were, could it?
You know, the people taking on more debt than their @ss could stand- even IF the rate didn't go up. The people who take out the overpriced loans that Americans won't?
NAAAhhh, we're always told how honest (except for the illegal entry and identity theft) and hardworking the illegals are, something for the rest of us Americans to emulate.

They shudda let George do it
Be cause we all know that he was responsible for the Twin tower collapse.
They were working there for WEEKS without anyone getting suspicious of all the drilling abd jackhammering on the critical support structures.
Nobody raised an eyebrow about the new shabby-chick chainlink fencing and tarps wrapped around those same support colums, or the new floor to ceiling windows on those same floors.
I'm sure the BusHitler/Cheney machine could bring down four smokestacks from an old paper mill.

And we have yet another frivolous lawsuit
This time it comes from the Land Down under.
From a female pro golfer for accusations made that shes basically a slooot.
And although the paper didn't actually *say* it, I'm sure they meant with guys.
Everyone knows that members of the LPGA are gay, don't they. It's like a membership requirement. No matter how hot they are.
AND....
In another Farktacular story from Oz, the Navy is paying female (officer) sailors for getting boob jobs. If an enlisted wanted one, they'd probably just roll up a 55 gallon barrel of industrial silicon and a huge syringe.
Don't want to be wasting that money on the lower ranks, do we old chap?

AMERICA, f*ck yeah!
Not safe for pantywaste Libs, and any other Hate-America-Firsters
Ummmm, that means you Harry Reid and Tom Lantos (both D-antiamerica)
Ummmm, that means you Harry Reid and Tom Lantos (both D-antiamerica)
I don't know what's worse
The fact that the 'teacher' that sent the letters didn't even get a slap on the wrist, or the fact that several parents signed and sent the letters back.
See, a teacher in Chico (Cali- I guess) sent some letters home with the kids asking them to resign their American citizenship.
AND being the good little Libs they all are, when it blew up in their faces claimed it was taken wrong. That they never ment to actually *DO* what was said. That it was all a *mistake*. How about sloppy?
Hey, it was a history lesson- the teach never even thought to tell the parents it wasn't a real letter.
Bidwell Junior High School administrators said a letter sent home with students in an eighth-grade class Tuesday was a good idea for a history lesson, with bad execution.
The letter, which appeared to ask parents to renounce their U.S. citizenship, prompted phone calls to the school from several irate recipients.
Principal Joanne Parsley said teacher Mike Brooks never intended to have parents sign the letters, or forward them on to President Bush, to whom they are addressed.
"It was a well-intended lesson that didn't shake out too well," she said, adding that Brooks would not be subject to disciplinary action.
Reached at home, the teacher said his U.S. History class is studying the Declaration of Independence, and he decided to write a letter putting the document into modern language. His intention, he said, was to send it home for parents to review, and possibly discuss with their children.
He concluded the letter with "After careful consideration of the facts of our current situation, I have decided to announce to everyone that I am no longer a citizen of the United States, but a free and independent member of the global community."
...And the result?
She said several parents reacted adversely to the letter, but a few sent them back signed.
Nope, no agenda in that history class.

And, since I've got cars on the brain
Your Friday night selection involves motor vehicles.
409
A brand new shiny red super stock car
A little Deuce coupe
Barracuda
What would we do with out the boys in brown?
And how can we end without the
Big Red Rocket of Love?

OK, you math wizzes
Tell me if I'm doing this right.
Right now I'm doing about 120 mi/day for the job and using 10 gal per day in the Ram.
This looks like. 120/10=12 MPG...right? My records show 13 MPG..but...
A Ranger/B3000 is about 18 MPG average. Which looks to me like 120/18=6.7 gal/day, and 6.7 x $2.60= $17.42/day x 5= $87.10/week in gas.
So 10 (gal) x 5 (Days) x 2.60/gal = $130/week in gas in the Dodge is about $42 per week in savings.
So I can get a cheap truck for about the price of gas savings.
Right? Or did I miss something?

Don't bother me for the next hour.
I'll be watching "The DoKtOr".
~Or~ as we say in over here, The Doctor.
UPDATE-
Why are these new Dr. Who's getting so creepy?
Moving statues and disappearing people?

You've heard about HillaryCare 2.0 haven't you?
She's set to unveil the return of her Government
healthcare that went over so well back when she was the co-President.
But then, maybe she doesn't remember that...she's kinda challenged in the memory department, isn't she?
And in more of the reality biased community...sometimes you just have to say WTF? (SFW).

I'm still around
Just haven't really felt like doing much.
Guess it's that mosquito born stuff that "GLOBAL WARMING" is bringing to the states.
You know, Malaria, Dengue fever, African sleeping sickness, Equine Encephalitis... the normal things that the MSM loves to bray about.
My work is getting slow, so I'm having to 'find' work- sometimes. I'm getting faster at burying drops (or hiding orange cable), so am usually getting off around noon. Cool, I'm aiming for a 10 drop minimum/day--more is better.
I'm *really* needing to replace the '98 Ram with almost 180K miles. In theory, if I get a Ranger or Colorado that gets about 18-20 MPG, I should be able to pay for it by the gas savings.
BUT--I deal in real life, I'm an optimistic pessimist, (or a pessimistic optimist), and *know* that nothing goes as planned, so I need to think about what to do WHEN it falls apart.
Scene 1- I could get a part time, on-call kind of job (at around $10/hr), since I'm done with the main job at noon-ish.
Scene 2-- I could get a part time job with the rival phone/TV/Cable company doing what I'm doing now on a different check (to keep money separate).
OR--I could do the extra 2 days/ month thing to get the truck payment. ( Or just ask the dispatchers if our guys have any drops on the far east side to pick-up the extra 18 drops/ mo. I need for the truck)
Decisions, decisions. I need to *really* start thinking before I end up picking up transmission parts off loop 410 at morning rush hour....
I'm also getting tired of waiting for the satellite connection to re-establish itself. Not long after I upgraded my Wild Blue account ($20 for an extra 30kps), did they complete there melding into the death star. NOW whenever it's overcast here and in Laredo, we lose connectivity. As far as the once exceptional (and American) tech support, we get automatically thrown into the waiting que dead-end.
Last time I was on for over 90 minutes ~on hold~ before I got disconnected. I called billing and was told about a problem in Laredo (again). I just wish we could get reliable broadband out her in the sticks.

Now, for something as serious as the Kangaroo court in D.C.
There was a manhunt on in Minnesota the other day.
I'll let you read the Smoking Gun here, but you have to click the link for some serious Democrat-like gravitas at his arrest.
Yep just like the D.C. hearings.
SEPTEMBER 11--Meet Carlton Davis. The Minnesota man, 26, is facing felony charges for allegedly stealing a cell phone and purse from a woman he mugged on a St. Paul street early Saturday morning. According to police, after the woman turned over her belongings, Davis announced, "Now I'm going to suck your feet." Which he did, after the 24-year-old victim removed her shoes. Davis, who fled when passerby approached, was apprehended by cops a few blocks from the crime scene. He was booked into the Ramsey County lockup, where the below mug shot was snapped. (1 page)

Are they throwing their mask away?
I'm sure anyone who's been near a radio has heard about the Petreaus hearings.
And Tom Lantos' (Communist- Kaliforistan) opening statements about how they won't be listening to anything General Peteaus has to tell. That as far as the Democrats ar concerned, the matter is closed, and America needs to surrender to the Islamofaschists..
Just out of curiosity, where is that accent from? It sure seems that it would be comfortable saying something like "You yust vaite Komerad Libby, ve are not done mit you yet. I vill be at your door at 2AM one morning."
So, not only do the Liberals feel comfortable getting in from of America with their anti-war, anti-American views-----they do it with some one with an accent reminiscent of some one on the wrong side of the Iron curtain.
NOTE: I found a copy at C-Span, but Firefox doesn't even recognize the format. Hope you can listen.

Wadda think?
I'm putting about 110 Mi. on the Dodge every day and around 10 gal/day.
So how does this look?
It's got enough room for my work stuff in the bed,and I can use it for a people hauler, too.
If I need to move something long, I can get a trailer-OR- design a "sling" to lift the extra tail up. Then I can sell the idea and live "comfortably" on them that buy sooper short beds and need extenders. Kinda like those cheap-@ssed plastic and aluminum tube things.
Ohh, KBB says it's about a good price, too.

I'm sure you've heard about the new iphone price by now
So tell me if you can see a common theme in these pics:
How about the fact that they're all tools?
The ones in the last picture are the worst used because they actually made an effort to be used so badly because they wanted to be the first on the block with an overpriced goody that could only be used on a restricted platform, with all the bugs not worked out yet.
How do y'all feel about that over-rated piece of plastic being discounted $200 two months after you spent $600 on it?
Brand loyalty is one thing, slavish obedience to flash is dangerous.

I think I'm about average
in intelligence- even if it doesn't show in this blog.
Sometimes, while listening to the Legacy media, and those they quote- I think I'm a little smarter.
But I'll be the first to admit that sometimes the punchline of a joke completely eludes me.
Like this one.

Just when you thought it was safe
so stop worrying about piddly, unimportant cr@p, comes this tale of terror.
See, those chips that were supposed to help your pet get returned to you are now DANGEROUS!!! If they were implanted in you, they could turn into tumors and just maybe KILL YOU withing 3 months (maybe)
Because the could cause......MALIGNANT TUMORS (in rats bread to get cancer if you sneeze wrong). It's been proven!!!!!!
Don't let them implant Transponders into anyone you care about!!!!
Because the 1 in a trillion possibility isn't worth the cost of Paramedics actually being able to scan for your medical history at an accident.
You heard it here first,,,,I haven't even seen it at Fark, yet.

Some pre- Petraeus video
Because I just *know* how the Libs are going to act.
Because they're already acting like it.
This is a little dated but will work, besideds she'a pretty babe-ish for a major conservative editor.

The 'Twilight Zone" movie just started
So, to get in the mood:
The opening scene~
Golden earring - Twilight zone
And on to CCR~~
You could use this as a Twilight Zone setting, right?
Cause lots of people have seen the aliens there...
I had a C-10 named this
And I did, and it was a coastline, not a river...
The Twilight Zone - Time Enough at Last / Pink Floyd - Time
Manhattan Transfer - Twilight Zone

I'm sure all my readers will be heartbroken, and fly over to Itally to show their love.
(UPDATE)
OHhhh, he was some kind of ferner who sang for uppity rich snobs.
Probably wouldn't let Toby Keith in the front door, ya know,,,not proper.........*sniff*

Just a quick Chelsea Clinton update
Hillary is kinda worried about who's going to start hitting her on family sex scandals, so she's getting pre-eruptive...as only she can.
She called Chelsea last Sunday, and wanted to get the skinny on anything that her enemies could use as ammo against her, so she asked.
She said Chelsea, you know the vast right wing conspiracy is out to get me any way they can. They'll use you and Bill to attack me, so please tell me the truth. Have you ever had illicit or questionable sex?
Chelsea said.....Well,no... not according to dad.

RRRRUUuuuuuuucyyyy!!!
I hoooome.
Early again as you can see on the timestamp.
That's because were caught up on bury drops for the extra large-and-beurecratic cable company I sub for.
I don't *really* mind getting on the minus side of $200 a day for 5 hours work, but I have to look for the extra jobs. I'm only getting 4-5 assigned now, so I have to know where to look for cable that's exposed. I guess it's a good thing the gas dept. taught me to look at my stuff as I drive past it. ...And the fact that I've done so much underground utility work that I can almost *see* an inch through dirt...
Anyway, I'm home. I almost got into three wrecks on the way to work today, and guess what they were all doing???!!!!!!?????
--C'mon, guess.
--Really, take a wild @ss guess at what they were doing instead of driving.
...........guess..........
Did anyone guess that they were jacking their f*cking jaws on a telephone?
You should have, because every one of them were too busy to even fucking LOOK before they changed lanes.
I guess that's what put me in the mood to *see* a cable at my last drop. I was in her yard at a pedestal and she came flying into the back yard:
Yankee: Waddaya doooin in my baaaack yawd!!?!!?
Me: Hi ma'am, I'm with (Large Cable Co.) burying a cable from your neighbors to this ped.
Me: I rang the doorbell before I came back, but I guess you weren't home.
Yankee: No, I heard it. I don't have to answer for every doofus -->>that's Me :-D<<-- that rings the bell. Why do you have to put that there? Why didn't the guy who was here Sunday do that?
Are you going to kill more of my grass (the St. Augustine grass was as good as I'd seen it in the shade of all the trees) because my husband will want to tear someone a new one if it gets any worse.
Me: No Ma'am, I'm going to hand dig in this bare area right under these two Oleanders to the ped, won't take me more than 10 minutes.
Yankee: That's awwl yer gonna doo? How do I know your not going to kill dose bushes too?
Me: *I just made myself another $17 on you lady and I don't care if you have cable or not*
All I'm going to do is dig a trench about two inches deep and cover the cable, so it's out of the way.
Yankee: Well them bushes better not die. That house has been there for a long time, why are youse replacing it now?
Me: Because sometimes they go bad, especially with all the rain we've had.
Yankee: Can't choo move dat green thing?
Me: No ma'am, you need to call the cable co. and see if you can sweet-talk them into it. *Fat chance*
As I was finishing up, I re-buried some of her side neighbors cable, too and ended up with three drops in a little more than an hour.

--Really, take a wild @ss guess at what they were doing instead of driving.
...........guess..........
Did anyone guess that they were jacking their f*cking jaws on a telephone?
You should have, because every one of them were too busy to even fucking LOOK before they changed lanes.
I guess that's what put me in the mood to *see* a cable at my last drop. I was in her yard at a pedestal and she came flying into the back yard:
Yankee: Waddaya doooin in my baaaack yawd!!?!!?
Me: Hi ma'am, I'm with (Large Cable Co.) burying a cable from your neighbors to this ped.
Me: I rang the doorbell before I came back, but I guess you weren't home.
Yankee: No, I heard it. I don't have to answer for every doofus -->>that's Me :-D<<-- that rings the bell. Why do you have to put that there? Why didn't the guy who was here Sunday do that?
Are you going to kill more of my grass (the St. Augustine grass was as good as I'd seen it in the shade of all the trees) because my husband will want to tear someone a new one if it gets any worse.
Me: No Ma'am, I'm going to hand dig in this bare area right under these two Oleanders to the ped, won't take me more than 10 minutes.
Yankee: That's awwl yer gonna doo? How do I know your not going to kill dose bushes too?
Me: *I just made myself another $17 on you lady and I don't care if you have cable or not*
All I'm going to do is dig a trench about two inches deep and cover the cable, so it's out of the way.
Yankee: Well them bushes better not die. That house has been there for a long time, why are youse replacing it now?
Me: Because sometimes they go bad, especially with all the rain we've had.
Yankee: Can't choo move dat green thing?
Me: No ma'am, you need to call the cable co. and see if you can sweet-talk them into it. *Fat chance*
As I was finishing up, I re-buried some of her side neighbors cable, too and ended up with three drops in a little more than an hour.

Good frigging grief
Now we have the latest example of just how *good* we have it here in America, ok- how about the first world?
We don't have to worry about where out next meal is comming from, or where we'll be able to sleep safly tonight. We don't watch people we love dropping like flies from preventable disease, or living conditions.
We DO, however have our public watch dogs ready so sound the alarm at the slightest blip in normality. This time it's the dangers of micro wave popcorn fumes! That's right kiddies, that bowl of nice, freshly popped popcorn could (just possibly, if everything was juuuuust right) give you a lung disease.
Consumers, not just factory workers, may be in danger from fumes from buttery flavoring in microwave popcorn, according to a warning letter to federal regulators from a doctor at a leading lung research hospital.
A pulmonary specialist at Denver's National Jewish Medical and Research Center has written to federal agencies to say doctors there believe they have the first case of a consumer who developed lung disease from the fumes of microwaving popcorn several times a day for years.
"We cannot be sure that this patient's exposure to butter flavored microwave popcorn from daily heavy preparation has caused his lung disease," cautioned Dr. Cecile Rose. "However, we have no other plausible explanation."
Ok, so did he live on the stuff? Did he stick his nose in it and inhale every time it came out of the oven?
Are you sure that at one time in his life, he didn't walk past a smoker? You people are always telling us (without the numbers- I notice) that even a sniff of secondhand smoke will increase the chance of cancer by so many percentage points.
