Ok, we all know what kind of President we'll have next year

We can't do anything about it.

What we CAN do is work to get consrevative replacements voted in to replace the ones (mostly Reps) that are bailing for various reasons. The most common unmentioned one being their ducking the results of their actions.

The only way to not stop, but even just hold what we have is to get non-libs,,,conservatives of either party elected to both houses.

I wish some big time bloggers or radio hosts would start talking this up and regulate these lightweight presidential pretenders to the back burner, where they belong; in order to jack up interest in Congress.....CHANGE in Congress.

Nothing good ever happens at 3 AM

I've tried telling the 19-yr old that, but her vast experience tells her how wrong I am.
When that bad thing happens, I hope it won't be real bad, like a rape, or mugging, getting drugged...carjacked,,,, whatever those paragons of virtue she hangs out with when the productive people are home in bed. She'll get very little sympathy from me. I know I'll have some kind of "I told you so" moment.
AND since all El Presidente Boosh's people are coming here from states that actually DISCOURAGE illegals(OK and AZ), there'll be even more chance that something bad will happen.

OR maybe it'll be something she does, like watching an illegal drag race at 3:40AM and standing in the middle of an active highway.
My guess is that alcohal was involved- at least, and not by the driver that ran into the fools -in the highway- at 3:40 AM.

I don't care who you are

Thart is sexy!



A healthy young woman in love with life, and it shows.



Not to mention that she knows how to drive very, very fast.

House Dems- showing their support for security

The latest extention of the FISA bill expires tomorrow.

Sanfran Nan and her Libs have decided that they're safe playing politics with Americas safety because any attacks will be Bush's fault- even though they're the ones who refused to vote on a terrorist tracking upgrade.

They want the Bush administration to jump through hoops to try tracking a quick phone call by known terrorists because they're 'concerned' about privacy protections.

Right, if they really were "concerned" about breaches of privacy- maybe they ought to do something about GOOGLE'S automatic keyword scan of EVERYTHING that they touch.
But that's ok, it's not the evil BusHitler throwing everyone that dares breath wrong into their sekit gulags.....somewhere. The only sekrit that the Bush administration has been able to keep.

It took 24 hours but

I finally got enough actually *done* to have put in a good day.

See if there's a hiccough in the normal chain of events in this company, logic and reason go out the window and changes are made in *the Plan* without all the main players being clued in.

Like me, my current job foreman, and the parts guy who was supposed to have gotten word to clean some box vans (that I was supposed to move Tues). In the process of driving from one side of San Antonio to the other, the *plan* got changed from:
Kurt will drop the goose neck so Robert can load it with the exess conduit- while Kurt is moving the dry vans to the J.C. Pennies jobsite and bring the gooseneck back to the office.

to:
Kurt gets to Brandies (at 9 AM)and drops the gooseneck and finds three flats on one side of the trailer that "almost" ready to go (except that it still needs to be emptied out), and Robert is busy with his main supply job for the ,,,jobsite. AND the other trailer is locked so I can't start unloading. Kurt calls his supervisor at the office and reports the 3 flats and that he can't get to the trailers to hook-up.
Kurt is told to "Wait till I call you back",,and wanders off to help pull home runs for the parking lot lights.
After lunch Kurt and Robert get enough cr@p moved and the gooseneck (remember where it's supposed to go?) loaded with conduit and panel boxes. At 2:30PM, Kurt gets a call from the office that tells him to "Call this number and get a tire guy out there. When you get done moving those trailers, take the goodeneck to get the landing gear fixed."
Kurt: "Ok, What do you want me to do with the conduit and boxes we have loaded now?"
"What??"
Kurt: "The gooseneck that you told me to load with excess matreial to bring back to the shop, do you want me to offload it here or bring it to the shop to offload, or just take it to the trailer place loaded and leave it?"
"We DON'T leave chit on the trailer at a repair yard!"
Kurt: "Ok, offload it here or at the office?"
"I'll get back with you."

Kurt finally gets hooked up to one trailer at 3PM (quitting time is 3:30) and is almost at the next jobsite when the Brandies foreman calls and tells him to just drop that trailer and hightail it back to the Orchard, and we'll start fresh tomorrow.

Extend that over the next two days and you can get some idea of what it's like working for this company.

OHhhh, that first load of conduit?
I spent almost an hour just getting the loose conduit secured in a nice, tight bundle that wouldn't scatter from there to Selma ( about 40 miles) and was told just as I was pulling onto the main road- "Krt, come back- we're going to offload the trailer here. It was lunch time by the time the trailer was unloaded.

Happy Valentines, Hun

Uhhhh-hhummmmm

Ok, so this slut woman of extraordinary stamina, who had anonimous sex from a website, wants to know...........
are you ready for this?






Who the father is.............











For the BABY!

Because she never even gave free money child support a thought.



Ummmmm....did she even think about protection from not just getting knocked-up, but more deadly, some weird kind of STD?

I followed a girl on the way home today

No, Becca- I wasn't stalking her.

Actually the way she was navigating, I was a little afraid to pass her.
See, she was taking up a lane and a half with her meandering car and I knew she wasn't drunk because she was too erratic.

After following her through Castrovill, I got a chance to pass her as she was zagging onto the left rumble strip and saw that she wa texting.

Probably describing to someone what a good driver she was.

Karen is watching "Animal Planet"

Something about rescuing chimpanzees in Africa- somewhere.

The natives were getting the monkees drunk on beer and Thing One asked why anyone would do that?


I just couldn't help it.




Really




And it didn't click on her when I told her:






All guys like drunk Chimps because they're easy!

Sheridan College on "Lockdown!"

Due to quick thinking and rapid response to the "suspicious man in camouflage carrying around a "long, tubular object" " no one on campus got.....photographed to death.

Because the evil, black scary thing turned out to be a TRIPOD!

Talk about your reactionary gun fearing woosies.

Here is a VERY important PSA for you all

Botox, the miracle wrinkle cure has been linked....by a *real* scientific study to possible Botulism poisoning.

It can also, in serious but rare occasions cause a pompous overblown sense of importance.

Thing One was talking to her dog

When I walked past her for a beer.
She kept asking him: "Do you love me?"

I told her that I expected him to say: "Let me sleep on it, I'll give you an answer in the morning"- like Meat loaf. Who she never heard of....


Kids!

Shades Of AMC?

You remember, right American Motors?

I hate to say it but it kind of looks like Mopar is going that rout.

Feb. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Chrysler LLC is talking to other automakers about using the mechanical underpinnings of their models and putting a new exterior on them in an effort by the third-largest U.S. carmaker to cut costs.

~Snip~

Chrysler, which has 3,600 U.S. dealerships, said yesterday that it will trim the number of models and work with dealerships so that all three of its brands -- Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler --are sold under one roof in most cases.

The company is seeking partners to help develop cars that will serve customers that it's missing with its current lineup.

The dealership consolidation, product cuts and partnerships are designed to make the remaining dealerships more profitable.

I'm number five on GOOGLE, baybeee

And number one on Yahoo for "Chelsea Clinton's nipples".


Gawd, I'm soo proud I could just pinch Chelsea Clinton's nipples!









At least I don't have hits looking for adult diapering services,,,,,,Agua.

Misha the First nails it

A big, hearty fuck you to whatever mouth-breathing troglodytes thought up our sequential primary system, from the roughly half of the country who never had a chance to vote.

We’re so very fucking grateful that a bunch of damnyankees and cross-over liberals got to decide our candidate for us.

Time to start putting the “Republic” back in the “Republic of Texas.”

Via Pistolero


And the comments, as usual are pretty good, too

Heh- "How bout we send a message to The Nuge that he’s the top candidate for President of The Republic of Texas? :em95:"

Guys, I know you had a girlfriend like this once

if you were smart.
More than once if you wer'nt.

Welcome back to another Nose Art weekend

I think I located some original Varga Girl nose art.
If not they're very close reproductions.












The number one pin-up girl of World War Two, Betty Grable, graces the nose of the still-flying B-17 'Sentimental Journey'.

One way to recognize a Varga--or Vargas--girl is her long, thin fingers and toes and the use of bright red fingernail and toenail polish.

Random thoughts

We all know how concerned the Libs are about us tapping the phones of overseas terrorist callers. Privacy and all- ya know.

• Why haven't we heard any outcry about the fact that GOOGLE has some kind of search filter on *EVERY* site they see? AND they'll be glad to store all your personal stuff on their servers for 'your' benefit. We all know that a private company would *NEVER* sell (or...oops, my bad) let slip damaging personal information on an opponent.

Hillary is claiming credit for everything her hubby did while in office.

• When are we going to hear an exit strategy for the Bosnia-Kosovo area? We're still there holding two warring religions apart, and if we all leave tomorrow- it would be the same as before we got there. We had even less business going there than into Iraq or Afganistan- except to get Americas mind of Bills walking humidor.

I hear on the radio from the 'experts' that we might be looking at hgas in the low $2's by summer because of the resession that'll be hitting one of these days.

• So I guess it's NOT supply and demand, like we've been told- more of what the market will bear.
  

I just opened a $300 electric bill, more than it was last year at this time, and $125 more than last month. Our water bill is higher than last month, too. I guess someone is going to have to lay down the law about daily hot baths and daily mini-loads of laundry. Oh, and NO- we don't have a hot water leak.

If any contractors are thinking of a new backhoe- I'd advise them to stay away from JCB.
It's got all the quirks that you'd expect from the people who brought you the BSA and Norton.
Greasing it is an adventure in it's self.

Mark, I'm thinking of a Vargas 'Nose Art weekend.'

for me

It's Batmobile...


Polecats...Rockabilly guy


The Rockats.....Note from the south




Something about a tatooed woman............just increases the ugggghhh factor.

409 is NOT a cleaner

It's Junior Brown and the Beach Boys



And his 'Sugarfoot rag' in France (it looks like)

Lets party like it's 1999 Jan 19 2000

I guess that a donkey can't change her stripes, either.

Apparently the Clinton campain left a rental property in N.H. like they left the White House, and they skipped the rent, too.


This week, national news reports said Hillary Clinton loaned her campaign $5 million of her personal fortune. Bennett said he finds it hard to believe she can't afford $500.

When the group did not give him a check for the amount up front, as per the agreement, Whitney said, he gave them the benefit of the doubt.

"But they packed up and left," he said.

"They left enough trash for a small army," said Bennett. "We filled two of those big black trash bags with what they left. There might still be a 4x8 Hillary sign there we pulled off the fence."

How classy.

This looks like a 'must see' movie

Because we know it's all about the writing, right?

It's really too bad we don't have someone like this

Too bad he's inellegibale to become our president.

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.'



'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'

'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society .. Learn the language!'

'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'

'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'

'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom,

'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'

'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'



John Howard, ex-Australian PM

(Sorry Desertman- almost a year now, I think)

Hope y'all are ready for a rough next four years

Who ever the next President is.
On the Left side we have- in favor of

• Stifeling the First amendment with his 'election finance reform'
• An ambivilence-at the very least- on the Second Amendment protections
• An intrusive government health care pogram
• Amnesty for our illegal friends
• Tax increases out the @ss
• Higher unemployment because of the previous two
• The 'evil' rich slowing down their disposable spending, which will increase the previous
• The appointing of Liberal Supreme Court Justices- to keep that ol Constitution living and changing as needed.

And on the right we have- No One.


Ohhh, and the republicans are bailing in droves from the House and Senate, too.
I guess the couldn't take the responsibility for the mess that's coming.

And soon-to-be Ex-Senator Hutchinson?
I'll be doing everything I can to derail your run for Tx Gov because of your final vote on the undermining of the border fence.

Big John McCain...how politically expediant

He was scheduled to *finally* make it to the Senate to cast his first (of eight) roll call votes regarding the welfare of Americans.

He decided to bail.
Because it would have been politically risky by ....you know, actually taking a stand on hard financial choices.

Instead, he's now got a record of eight missed roll call votes on what you'd assume was important legislation.

The Republicans had their ducks in a row (in order to defeat the Democrat handouts to their special interest) to do it without McCain- because they're used to doing without him.

At least he didn't cross the aisle to vote WITH the Dems like he's getting a habit of doing.

Sorry. NO!

Because RNC, you really haven't been treating me right these last ohhhh.....twelve years or so.

I think I'll sit this one out because you refuse to give me someone to vote FOR.




Stolen from Squakbox. (Who will be on my bloroll when I get to the other computer)

So the "Maverick" is way ahaed in deligates now?

I guess I'll be driving with the radio off all day today.

I *really* need to enhance my CD collection, it's going to be a looooonng election year.

So, today is Super Tuesday

Where it's election coverage all day, every radio station.

I really need to bulk up my CD collection.

I wonder how much you'll hear about this cancer study?

Because the cause is NOT evil tobacco this time.

Nope, it's the hippies best friend- Mary Jane. Which according to these studies is 20 times as cancer causing as the evil tobacco.
Anybody who's taken a hit will know that the smoke can't be good for you, as heavy and harsh as it is.

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Smoking a joint is equivalent to 20 cigarettes in terms of lung cancer risk, scientists in New Zealand have found, as they warned of an "epidemic" of lung cancers linked to cannabis.

Studies in the past have demonstrated that cannabis can cause cancer, but few have established a strong link between cannabis use and the actual incidence of lung cancer.

In an article published in the European Respiratory Journal, the scientists said cannabis could be expected to harm the airways more than tobacco as its smoke contained twice the level of carcinogens, such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons, compared with tobacco cigarettes.

The method of smoking also increases the risk, since joints are typically smoked without a proper filter and almost to the very tip, which increases the amount of smoke inhaled. The cannabis smoker inhales more deeply and for longer, facilitating the deposition of carcinogens in the airways.

"Cannabis smokers end up with five times more carbon monoxide in their bloodstream (than tobacco smokers)," team leader Richard Beasley, at the Medical Research Institute of New Zealand, said in a telephone interview.

"There are higher concentrations of carcinogens in cannabis smoke ... what is intriguing to us is there is so little work done on cannabis when there is so much done on tobacco."

Ok, it's a small study, but I expect the truth to be known shortly as all the hippies start dying like flies because of their past indiscretions.
AND I expect Cali, Washington and all the other Liberal Meccas to do away with their pro dope stance and get on the anti-cancer bandwagon ASAP.

Because not only is the secondhand smoke bad...they need to do it "for the children!"




But we all know they won't because if they do it it's somehow ok.
