Hello again, blogfan!
Today, it's unAmerican to tell a liar that he's a liar; or so it seems.
Representative Joe Wilson of South Carolina reacted emotionally to Obama's claim that illegal aliens have never been on the projected roles of those he intends to cover with "Obamacare."
Obama lied, but everyone nodded politely and agreed with the lie because it's not nice to NOT agree with the liar while he's still lying! Joe's only mistake in my eyes was his choice of place and time!
Obama and the cronies he keeps trotting out to replay his lies keeps telling us that nearly 20% of Americans are without health insurance. Well, we KNOW that 10% are without it since his stimulus bill that failed to stimulate anything except the pockets of his cronies has driven unemployment up to nearly 10%, but what about the other half of their claims? Most of the rest of the people he's talking about have no legitimate claim to any largess of the US taxpayer in any case because they're here ILLEGALLY! What's worse (and this is truly the dirty little secret that Obama doesn't want you to know), nearly ALL of the ailments THEY would seek treatment for under Obamacare are already covered under existing programs OR the "mandatory treatment in the ER" laws that already exist!
This in not about health care; it's about grabbing as much power and money as possible while he's got a double-majority in Congress!
In short, he's lying to us (again!). Poor Joe didn't time it well, but he's the only one who spoke the truth during the president's speech the other night!

Obama on education
Here's a new one; I think the President of the United States ought to be able to address the schoolchildren of America without all the hoopla! The fact is, parents need to do their job and inform their children!
What a sad day it is when we can't trust the guy to deliver a plain ol' "stay in school, work hard, get a good education and be a productive member of society" message. What a sad day indeed!
What a sad day when parents are concerned that their parenting skills will be overridden by a US President! I'd have to say, "listen to him, kids! If he tries to indoctrinate you into National Socialism, I'll set you straight!"
There are so many sad things about this day, it's hard to know where to begin! Superintendents of school districts across the country are being asked to take sides; show the President and risk a schism among the parents of the district or don't show him and risk the same! The bottom line here is, we have a President who has managed to polarize this country like none I can remember and he basically did it in a very simple way; he said one thing during his candidacy and now he's doing another thing altogether (i.e., he lied to us!) and, like any other liar, we simply don't trust him now!
The worst of all is the hypocrisy that is coming to the fore. You say, "Let's show the President's address and if your kids don't like it, you can tell us and we'll send them to an alternate location to do something else!" If I said, "let's allow prayer in school; if your kids don't like it, they can go somewhere else while everyone else enjoys it!" , you'd say "Uh, it's not fair to single out certain kids or make them feel somehow inferior. We cannot allow it!"
Well, you DID say the latter, so where's the fairness in the former? It's strictly a double standard (something libs are EXCELLENT at, BTW!) and I don't know how any fair minded individual could ever even SUGGEST it!
What do you expect from the same folks who brought you "(you) travel in a shoebox that gets 400 mpg to save the planet and we'll meet you in the private jet that belches enough greenhouse gas to destroy the entire ozone layer in about 30 minutes!"
Hypocrisy everywhere!
So, go ahead and say what you want, Mr. President. With your track record, no one except the blindest of your minions will believe what you say anyway!

Michael Vick, Ted Kennedy, and PC run amok!
Hello again, blogfan!
Michael Vick resumes his NFL career this evening with the Philadelphia Eagles.
As me if I care?
Frankly, I think it's fine. I mean, we're a Christian nation despite what Obama says! If anyone can appreciate a second chance, it's someone who's been redeemed by the sacrifice of Jesus for us all, so I think we need to understand the shortcomings of others and give them second chances when we can.
He among you who is without sin, cast the first stone!
Of course, the PC aspect of this is that PETA, who most people I know thinks is a bunch of fruitcakes and nut-jobs, has somehow managed to make a large group of people think that what Vick did was tantamount to the murder of a human being!
Look, what he did was terrible, reprehensible, and absolutely shameful, but it was not the same as the killing of a human being!
Not even in the same city, let alone ballpark!
Enough of Vick, already! The women of New England can breath a sigh of relief! The womanizing (allegedly) Ted Kennedy has finally gone to a much warmer place and taken his ultra-liberal politics with him! I'm not going to cry for a 77 year-old man who lived in the absolute lap of luxury, got just about anything and everything he ever wanted (including EXCUSED for the killing of at least one young woman), and did everything he possibly could to turn the US into a North American version of Red China! Vick at least did his penance and has shown signs of remorse for what he did! The coward Kennedy never admitted or showed contrition for any of his deeds!
Of course, the Dems have trotted out the notion that Obama's health care bill should be re-packaged as the "Kennedy Memorial Health Care Plan" in the hopes that they can actually garner some sympathy for the ostensibly failed package.
Look, Dumocrats! A bad idea is a bad idea regardless of who's name is on it!

Driving me CRAZY!!
Hello again, blogfan!
Well, I'm taking a break from telling you how ridiculous the current administration, their policies and their proposals are; today I'm going to reprise my disgust with people who climb behind the wheel of their car with no more intention of driving a car than Ray Charles (and Ray was probably a better driver than most of these idiots!)
I understand driving for fuel economy; I do it myself. However, the optimal economy in almost any vehicle is achieved when you keep your RPMs at or below 2000 and, generally speaking, the rate at which you achieve that optimal engine speed has little or nothing to do with how much fuel is consumed in the process (within reason, of course!). Therefore, if you take off so slowly that your car spends most of its time at the upper ranges of that gear's range before it shifts to a lower gear, you're actually getting LESS fuel economy than you would if you simply got it up to speed and let it shift into a lower gear where the engine turns more slowly. GOT IT?
I didn't think so! If you did, you wouldn't go from 0 to 60 in 6.5 weeks and hold everyone else up! By the way, having to stop at every light because you've got turtles peeing on your tires costs you and everyone else a lot of gas as you sit there idling with your A/C blowing as well, you inconsiderate moron!

The other form of highway inconsideration that is driving me absolutely loony has to do with communication. I remember a time when no one, and I mean NO ONE was so important that they couldn't sacrifice contact with friends, co-workers, and loved ones for at least as long as it took to drive from A to B. In this modern age of instant communication via cell phone and the marriage of cellular technology to the Internet, no one can really get away from instant access to whomever they choose, even if they desired to do so. All that is fine and really useful under most circumstances, but the same guy who seems to be able to handle about ten things at once in an office or at home seems to turn into a jello-brain once he tries to drive and do ANY of the above at the same time. I'm serious! I've had to wake so many people up at red lights lately that my horn is about to wear out! I'm tired of getting run off the road as people attempt to text and drive at the same time! I've had it with cars moving fine in two lanes and that one car in the middle causing people to swerve and slam on their brakes because the driver of the slow car is too busy talking on a cell phone to pay attention to their direction or speed!
Here's a suggestion, morons! If you can't handle the cell phone AND the driving, do the one that will certainly kill people if you do it poorly! DRIVE THE FREAKIN' CAR FIRST!!!! Or better yet, if you're unable to do both, put down the phone and NEVER EVER pick it up in the car if you can't handle it!
Guess what? Even though you're usually in the giant Tahoe that no one else can see around, your car will crash and roll just like any other if you continue to drive like its Stevie Wonder behind the wheel! So, if you won't do it for us, do it for yourself, loser!
Sheesh!

Town Halls
This week, all the talk's been about the so-called "Town Hall" meetings that have been taking place across the country to "discuss" the President's health care proposals.
Of course, "discuss" isn't exactly what's been going on, but there've been groups of people showing up for one purpose or another!
If you've gone to one of the Obama-led meetings, you were hand-picked because you're able to shake a pom-pom and ask puffball questions that the Comedian-in-Chief can handle without his teleprompter telling him what to think!
If you went to a Shirley Jackson-Lee meeting, you learned that it's okay in "Shirley World" to ignore your constituents by answering your cell phone in the middle of a cancer survivor's question and then go on Greta Van Susteren's show a little later and lie about it while being equally rude to Greta!
If you went to Benedict Arnold "Arlen" Specter's town hall meeting, you're still "waiting a minute" since he told one poor old dude who had apparently been promised an opportunity to speak to "wait a minute" about 3500 times. If you're waiting all the minutes he told you to, you should be free to move about your home sometime next Thursday!
In all but the Obama-choreographed meetings, it should be apparent that America does not want and does not feel that it needs Obamacare! I've said before that I think it would be a good idea for them to clean up their Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security messes before they start another one, but that doesn't seem to be what they want! Frankly, as I've said before, I think they should phase Medicare and Medicaid out altogether and let market forces determine the cost of health care without the artificial influences of those "price-fixing" government entities, but, much like Social Security, it's not likely to happen as long as the elderly depend on the programs as they apparently do.
So sad to be fed a bill of goods like that! Sadder still that now we've all been suckered into placing ourselves into this situation where they can force this crap down our throats whether we want it or not!
Is it 2010 yet?

Life's little ironies!
I'm constantly amazed by life's little ironies!
The other day, I was pulled over for failing to fasten my seat belt. As the officer penned the ticket, a group of helmetless motorcyclists passed us doing what was probably at least 15, perhaps 20 miles per hour above the speed limit.
Am I not less likely to be deathified in a car crash without my seat belt than the motorcyclists without a helmet? Where's big daddy doing all he can to protect THEM from themselves?
By the way, I thought I had a constitutional right to kill myself if that's what I want to do? It MUST be constitutional! Oregon will pay for assisted suicide in lieu of life-saving cancer drugs, or haven't you heard? Not to say that that's the only thing they'll help you off yourself for, mind you, but that's the most bizarre example I've heard to date!
And speaking of killing yourself, hasn't big daddy gone on the rampage to stop cigarette smoking?! Have you SEEN the price of a pack of cigarettes these days? That's $5.50/pack in taxes of one kind or another, 15 cents for the retailer, and a nickel for Philip Morris! And that's here in TEXAS!! I've heard that in places like the People's Republic of New York, it's nearly twice that!
Look, I just want a little equity in all of this. If it's NOT okay for me to kill myself in my car by refusing to wear a seat belt, then it's not okay for a bunch of motorcyclists to go helmetless, either! I don't care how powerful their lobby is! However, as I've stated before, I think both are okay, as long as I'm not endangering someone else with my actions! I don't think my demise at the hand of a telephone pole is going to affect anyone other than me any more one way than the other, quite frankly!
Big Daddy government, get out of my life! I thought I had a right to privacy! Or does that only apply to pregnant women?
Sheesh!

I NEVER would have figured THIS!!!
Nadya Suleman, the mother of octuplets most recently and 14 children altogether, has reportedly signed a deal with the company that produced "The Biggest Loser" to star in a reality TV show.
The biggest loser, indeed!
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I never would've believed it if I hadn't read it on Yahoo!!
The woman with no skill, no job, no income (well, no skill other than getting pregnant, apparently) and no viable prospects has agreed to assist her kids (read as "exploit," "use," "manipulate," or "rape" as you see fit) with their future by inking them to a reality TV deal! That always works out, doesn't it, Jon and Kate? Danny Bonaduce, you wanna chime in here? Where's Willis when you need him?
I thought selling kids was illegal? Why don't we just attach little shackles to their ankles and make them drag rocks around or something? That might be entertaining as well, don't you think?
There's a really warm place in hell for people who exploit children like this and Jesus is coming soon, so I'd see if I couldn't spend some of that easy money on icewater if I were you, Nada! (No, I didn't misspell it! If there was ever a zero, this one's it!)
Sheesh!

Another symptom!
Well, the headline this morning was "States Where Job Seekers Have Given Up," or something to that effect.
To me, it's just another symptom of the "Everyone Gets a Trophy" generation. If you can't find that perfect work experience, you just give up and let Big Daddy Government take care of you. I mean, it's actually their responsibility anyway, isn't it?
This is just the sort of shift in our collective thinking as a society that makes me physically ill! If you can't find that "perfect" job, then you take one that's a little less perfect until that "perfect" one comes along! Since I was 17, I've been out of work a total of three days! I never willingly left a job without having another in place and, even though I may not make as much money as I could if I really "worked" the system for all it's worth, I make a fair wage and I'm happy with what I do. Who could ask for more?
Here's an idea for all of you "Discouraged Job Seekers;" Get up real early, log onto "Craig's List," and start applying for anything legitimate that will actually earn you a paycheck until your ideal job comes along! Frankly, I'd hang off of a garbage truck and pick up trash for the city before I'd sit around feeling sorry for myself and let someone else take care of me or my obligations!
Shake yourselves, losers! Go get a job!

Coburn's my new hero!
During questioning of SC nominee Sonia Sotomayor (means "make it up as you go along" in Spanish, come to find out!) today, my new hero, Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma asked Ms. Sotomayor how she could stand so positively on an "implied" right, the "right to privacy," and remain vague on a very simply STATED right, the right to keep and bear arms (2nd Amendment).
Ms. Sotomayor went on for about 10 minutes about New York state law, retrieving a gun from home, chicken noodle soup recipes, and the proper procedure for an oil change on a 1972 Volkswagen Beetle, all the while managing to repeat the phrase "I am not a lawmaker" about 35 times (nice job, prep committee! She's managed to remember 4 words from the talking points you gave her!). Of course, while waxing philosophical on the true color of a blue moon, she failed to answer the Senator's question.
Why should I be surprised? He earlier asked a simple "yes or no" question and she stammered stupefied for about ten minutes on THAT one as well, never mentioning either of the correct response choices, "yes" or "no."
By the way, what is this "settled precedent" she keeps referring to? Settled or not, isn't bad law or a poor interpretation NEVER settled? Once upon a time, Brown V. Board of Education was "settled," was it not? Wasn't "Dred Scott" a "settled precedent" at one time? How about a hundred other famous cases that, once reviewed, revealed failed logic or a poor reading of our Constitution?
Is that the best you can do, Obama?
I think it's time to pack up for the Bronx where people don't seem to mind the invention of law from the bench, Ms. Sotomayor!
Sheesh!

Jackson's remains
Well, I seldom blog more than twice a month these days, so NOW to drop my thoughts on you twice in one day....
Here goes!
The whole Michael Jackson spectacle makes my skin crawl in so many ways! First, who really cared anything at all about MJ until he kicked it? I mean, he'd been forced underground essentially, called "Whacko," and marginalized in every way imaginable. Of course, he brought most of it on himself by turning himself in a clown, but who really knows what the underlying cause of THAT was? The irony is the whole circus that came after his untimely demise!
Now I read that no one will know where MJ's remains will be interred. I don't think anyone really cares at this point, do they? I mean, will there be live cameras and opportunities for free pub at the gravesite?
I didn't think so! Don't worry, then! The "King of Pop" will remain forever undisturbed regardless of where you put him!
How many so-called "black leaders" showed up to pay tribute? The "never saw a camera I didn't like" Representative from Houston, Shirley Jackson-Lee even showed up! For what? Maybe it was just an invitation to everyone with "Jackson" in their name (or so it seems; Jesse, Shirley, Andrew; ALL the Jacksons were there!), but I suspect that the opportunity for a little free pub was the main reason. So sad!
I'm sorry, did I say "free?"
That's part II of what upsets me about the whole deal! I mean, if you're Michael Jackson's family, with millions of dollars at your disposal to have a remembrance ANYWHERE you'd like, why choose the one place in the nation that simply cannot afford your presence? The opportunity to host the MJ memorial circus cost LA a reported 1.4 MILLION dollars! See! I told you that Andrew Jackson showed up! 70,000 thousand of the bills with his likeness went flying out the window to fund the debacle!
Incomprehensible!
I guess the main thing, though, is the total hypocrisy involved! Here's a guy that NOBODY cared anything about for the longest time and now that he ostensibly did us all a favor and went away, EVERYBODY loved the guy! What a bunch of hypocrites! If you care about someone, show them while they're still alive to enjoy it, NOT afterward!
You phonies didn't care anything about Michael Jackson; all you care about is the photo op!
Losers!
Here goes!

Now I read that no one will know where MJ's remains will be interred. I don't think anyone really cares at this point, do they? I mean, will there be live cameras and opportunities for free pub at the gravesite?
I didn't think so! Don't worry, then! The "King of Pop" will remain forever undisturbed regardless of where you put him!
How many so-called "black leaders" showed up to pay tribute? The "never saw a camera I didn't like" Representative from Houston, Shirley Jackson-Lee even showed up! For what? Maybe it was just an invitation to everyone with "Jackson" in their name (or so it seems; Jesse, Shirley, Andrew; ALL the Jacksons were there!), but I suspect that the opportunity for a little free pub was the main reason. So sad!
I'm sorry, did I say "free?"
That's part II of what upsets me about the whole deal! I mean, if you're Michael Jackson's family, with millions of dollars at your disposal to have a remembrance ANYWHERE you'd like, why choose the one place in the nation that simply cannot afford your presence? The opportunity to host the MJ memorial circus cost LA a reported 1.4 MILLION dollars! See! I told you that Andrew Jackson showed up! 70,000 thousand of the bills with his likeness went flying out the window to fund the debacle!
Incomprehensible!
I guess the main thing, though, is the total hypocrisy involved! Here's a guy that NOBODY cared anything about for the longest time and now that he ostensibly did us all a favor and went away, EVERYBODY loved the guy! What a bunch of hypocrites! If you care about someone, show them while they're still alive to enjoy it, NOT afterward!
You phonies didn't care anything about Michael Jackson; all you care about is the photo op!
Losers!
Well, the Dumocrats are at it again!
Hello again, blogfan!
As anyone who's been paying any attention whatsoever already knows, our President has vowed passage of a sweeping health care reform measure before the end of August. Anybody want to guess how he's going to pay for it?
That's RIGHT! We're going to tax "the rich" once again!
Who are these so-called mythical "rich" people, anyway?
I guess we could tax Tony Soprano; he's got lots of cash! Well, it's all under the table and unreported, but we've seen him pull out those horse-choker wads of greenbacks and peel off a couple of thou like it was nothing, right?
Uhhhh.....it's fantasy, right up there with this stupid health care reform plan and your funding choice, Dumocrats!
Wasn't it bad enough that the government ran GM out of business with their stupid CAFE standards and their unadulterated love affair with the UAW? Can't these idiots see that any business worth it's salt (and wishing it's survival) has already left for India or Mexico? When you kill the goose that laid the golden egg, THERE AREN'T ANY MORE GOLDEN EGGS, YOU IDIOTS!!!
We keep hearing that 50,000,000 people don't have health care. How many of those are legal citizens of the US? How many can't get to a local ER for the free care that they MUST provide by law? How many have opted out of their employer-provided coverage for whatever reason, or simply are between coverages because of job loss or other employment issues?
That's what I thought!
"But Dan! Isn't just ONE person without health care one too many? Isn't health care a RIGHT?"
Uhhhh.....no, it's not! There are two sure things in life and a lot of people seem to get by without experiencing one of them; death and taxes! We already HAVE a universal health care policy for those of you that haven't been paying attention; it's called Medicaid! How's that little experiment going, Dumocrats? You say it's going bankrupt, along with Medicare and Social Security? Why is that, Dumocrats?
Think about it!
I say, clean up the messes you've already made before you start another one! If you want to continue to fund Medicaid, then fund it and LEAVE THAT MONEY ALONE!!! Lord knows, I've paid a quarter of a million dollars into Social Security and what I've got right now is a government IOU with some future taxpayer's name on it! Your "steal from 'the rich' and give to the poor" scheme doesn't work, Dumocrats! "The rich" got that way because they're savvy with their cash and they know how to keep it out of your grubby little hands (if you don't believe me, ask Timothy Geitner!), so all you wind up doing is taxing ME more and God knows, I'm not rich!
Once again, lets get the government out of business where they HAVE no business! We have this little thing called a Constitution! I've read it and, quite frankly, I thought it said that powers not expressly granted to the Federal government were supposed to be granted to the states. Funny, I didn't see anything in there about a "right to free health care" or the idea that the Federal government should establish some national health system! It's time to revert to what the Constitution dictates and get rid of all of this ridiculous Utopian state-run boondoggle that we've allowed to be created!
We have a right to PURSUE happiness, not an absolute guarantee of it!

A "Must Read!"
Hopefully, those of you who read here fairly often (BOTH of you!) can surmise for yourselves that I am fairly conservative. Sometimes, being conservative without being especially well-read in the law can be a handicap, especially when it comes to defending my viewpoints in the face of the completely inane nonsense that is presented by liberal defenders of THEIR viewpoints, none of which are based in logic or common sense, but in emotional knee-jerk reactions to this "crisis" or that.
Now, all I have to do is point to one book; Liberty and Tyranny - A Conservative Manifesto, by Mark R. Levin.
Dr. Levin, a lawyer by trade and a conservative talk-show host by profession, explains in great detail why liberals think as they do (or NOT think, as the case may be!) along a wide array of topics, from their insistence on the dismantling of capitalism to their even greater insistence on scuttling our very livelihoods in the name of extremist environmentalism.
It's all about power and who calls the shots, just as I've said all along!
In any case, if you've not read Levin's book, do yourself a HUGE favor and buy a copy and then read it from cover to cover. There's not a word wasted and it will thoroughly explain MUCH better than I ever could why I think the way that I do, especially since I agree with nearly all of the assertions made by this truly amazing author!

Here's why America is going to Hades in a manual cartage device!
North Korea is threatening to respond a thousand-fold to any (perceived) American provocation, the libs are doing everything they can to destroy our economy, I now own General Motors (well, the American taxpayer owns them!), and all anyone cares about is a couple with too many kids and their inability to handle the "pressure" of fame and fortune!
It's embarrassing!
Yes, boys and girls, Jon and Kate announced their "separation" and their producers updated us with a text announcement that "legal proceedings" have begun to nullify their ten-year relationship. Has anyone ever watched the show? How could anyone who has possibly wonder about any of this?
I have to admit; MDB was/is a big J&K+8 fan. It's programmed into the DVR and we've got about 10 of them on cue at any given time. Now, to her credit, she knows I don't really care to watch their exploits, so she watches mostly when I'm not around, but I have seen my share of episodes. I've watched more than once when they sat on that couch and Kate basically demeaned and belittled John. I've watched him swallow it and never say anything about it unless it was to sheepishly agree with her assessment. I've leaned over and said on more than one occasion, "My Lord! How does he continue to put up with that?" I guess the answer to that one is now painfully clear!
It's hard to put a finger on a single reason for disliking the show, but here's one that comes to mind; I don't like watching a show that exploits children for profit, especially when it's supposed to be a "hands-off glimpse into the life" sort of thing! They claim that the show will go on, but I doubt that it will survive for very long (thank God!!!). I mean, we have enough turmoil in our own daily lives, right? Do we really need to tune in to see someone else's drama play out? Do we really need to see the lives of these kids destroyed in half-hour increments? How long before it's "J&K's kids in drug rehab?", or "J&K see the counselor at school because little Suzy is cutting herself?"
The whole thing makes me sick, quite frankly!
Children who are exploited for cash always turn out well, don't they? The kids from "Diffrent Strokes" came out great, didn't they? I can think of about a thousand other examples, but the point's clear, isn't it?
Now I've heard that the female who had a litter of twelve has been signed on to do her own reality show.
That should be pretty special!
Perhaps the first few episodes will air BEFORE North Korean nukes start dropping on the west coast!

Update!
Well, more than a few gallons have passed under the bridge since my last post, so here goes!
The whole gay marriage thing is about to make me sick at my stomach! God created men and women for procreation, not sexual pleasure. Now, I'll grant you, He made it a lot of fun so we'd want to "go forth and multiply", but pleasure is not the primary purpose!! Since gays are not capable of procreation, their very existence goes against the will of God (implied AND stated!), so the entire gay rights and gay marriage movement is not a question of equal rights so much as it is a repudiation of God and His will. It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of an angry God!
I hope that won't be construed as "hate speech!"
I don't hate anyone, but the bible clearly says that homosexuality is "an abomination." What part of "abomination" don't you get, gay rights advocate? Look, I didn't write it, so don't shoot the messenger!
Anyway, I can commiserate somewhat. I don't think it's fair necessarily to codify discrimination against any group or subgroup, but it's not the government that's doing it!!! It's private companies who refuse to view a "partnership" with the same lens as they use for a marriage! So, powerful homosexual voting and purchasing block, boycott the companies who refuse to recognize your immoral and deviant lifestyle and FORCE them to come around!
Tried that already, huh? Too bad!
Look, even in California, the majority of people don't want to recognize a homosexual partnership the same way that a heterosexual one is recognized. It's CALIFORNIA, for crying out loud!! I'd say give it up for a while and see if a new generation of homosexuals comes along who side with your point of view, that's what I'd do.
Oh, that's right! Homosexuals don't procreate! No chance of passing that "gay gene" along then, is there?
How does our President, Mr. Nobraina, have any feet left? I mean, it seems as though he shoots himself in the foot two or three times a day; why is he not on crutches?
He just couldn't help himself, could he? A Supreme Court vacancy came along and he just couldn't take the high road and nominate someone who's actually qualified to be on the High Court, could he? Noooooooo!!!!! He said "Hmmmm.....here's an opportunity! Let me find the most liberal, most far-left leaning individual in the country and put her name forward in nomination!"
Uhhh...Newt said it best (and I paraphrase); a Latina female racist is no better than a white male racist and both should be asked to withdraw if sanity prevails.
I don't see any withdrawals, Ms. Sotomayor!
Then Nobraina continued on the "See, I'm really a Muslim and you can trust me" tour and made another big batch of apologies for our "arrogance."
It ain't bragging if you can do it, Mr. President!
THEN he went out and bought GM with my tax dollars! Anyone who reads here very often KNOWS that I'm a Ford guy! It positively makes me want to wretch knowing that my money is now buying a Chevrolet!
Maybe there's too much invested at this point, I don't know, but I DO know this; the United States government had NO business bailing out ANY of these private entities and it would be absolutely SHAMEFUL if they went under anyway, despite the best efforts of all concerned to prop them up! Look, these corporations failed for a very simple reason; they're poorly run, way too fat, and not willing or able to change rapidly enough to stop the hemorrhage of red ink! They SHOULD fail!! They should be forced to sell off their assets to whoever wants to buy them and restructure whatever's left into a leaner, more competitive company!
Anyone ever hear of American Motors? How about Hudson? Or Packard? Or Studebaker, or Nash, or DeSoto, or any of a hundred other failed car companies? The car business is high risk and high reward! Those who venture there do so at their own peril...
...or that's how it USED to be! NOW we don't let anyone fail! We can't allow market forces to determine the fate of these former corporate giants! NO!!!!! We've got to step in and use tax dollars to prop up the rotten, termite-infested structure! Allowing the market to determine the fate of GM would be.....can't bear to say it......sniff!!......CAPITALISM!!! We're not a capitalist economy anymore! NO! We're now socialist and everyone must get a trophy!!!
Should have put them in the junkyard with all those Studebakers and Hudsons while we had a chance! Now we've got to grit our teeth and PRAY that the thing succeeds so I can get my money back!
Thanks, Mr. Nobraina!

W-W-W-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-H-H-H-H-H-H!-!-!-!
Poor John and Kate! They don't have any privacy to go with their $75,000 per episode! They have Paparazzi lined up to take their pictures! They have an adoring public that just won't leave them alone!
Dry your tears with a couple of those checks, why dontcha?
Look; I understand your frustration. You thought you could take the cash and conduct your private lives any way you want.
Sorry; it doesn't work that way!
WITH the fortune comes the fame, and with that comes the added responsibility of acting like your persona on television. If you don't like that gig, give the money back, rescind the contract, and go back to raising your twenty-seven kids on your $12.50 per hour, you loser!!!
I didn't think that was a viable alternative!
Better hone up on "Well, thank you ma'am! We're SO happy you like our show!"
Loser!

Well, the American Certainly Loonie Union is at it again.
Oh, you know, they're the guys who ostensibly work to preserve our rights of free speech (unless that speech happens to come from a Christian or from the right), of free press (unless it's the Washington Times, Rush Limbaugh, or any other progenitor of conservative principles), and free religion (as long as you mean free FROM religion and not free to practice religion). [Click HERE for a statement of the ACLU's mission.]
Now, they're stepping up to the plate to make sure that Gitmo detainees get their full portion of rights as they're being prosecuted in military tribunals for practicing terrorism (allegedly) against the United States and her people.
I thought it was the AMERICAN civil liberties union? I thought that the rights granted under our Constitution were guaranteed to Americans? Since when did we extend our rights, fought for and earned by the shedding of American blood, to foreign nationals, especially foreign nationals who killed thousands of Americans in the worst attack on America since the Japanese pulled off that little sneak attack on Pearl Harbor? Worse still, why SHOULD we extend those privileges to them?
Let me tell you something, American Communist Lipservice Union! If those same enemy combatants were captured perpetrating those crimes in their own countries, they wouldn't have any of those rights and their interrogations would have been a tad bit worse than a little pretend drowning! Last time I checked, people lost parts of their bodies for theft in Muslin countries and a heckuva lot more than that for crimes more severe! Oh, and they don't do some little lethal injection thing, either! It's hanging by the neck until dead!
When those clowns do something to earn some rights, I say let 'em have some, but to extend American civil rights to non-citizens is just plain stupid and totally counterproductive, especially in light of what these criminals have perpetrated against us!
Oh, and don't get me wrong! I'm not saying that we should abuse non-citizens just because they ARE non-citizens. I AM saying that we should apply whatever measure of justice they could expect to receive in their own home, NOT roll out the red carpet and presume innocence when there's a clear burden of proof on the accused in their own homeland!
The sad part is, most of these dunderheads will tell you that a little waterboarding to save 10,000 American lives is not worth the price that poor little terrorist had to pay as he pretended to drown.
I'd say drown a million of them if it would save ONE American! It's the only justice they understand and certainly the only incentive they have NOT to do it again!
Shame on you, ACLU!

I don't blog as much as I used to
Hello again, blogfan!
If anyone who reads here regularly had any doubt, I don't blog as much as I used to. It's mostly because I started feeling a little like Rush Limbaugh, saying the same thing over and over again. What I (and he) said was true, but if you didn't get it the first thirty times, why would you get it now?
Uhh...here we go; water is wet, sky is blue, Barack Oboma is WAY overmatched, totally disingenuous, and frankly, not worthy to be the President of the United States. He got into office because every AA in America voted for him and CONTINUE to defend him and his policies despite the sheer idiocy that they represent, because of white guilt, and because liberals FINALLY got a true socialist that they could get behind and support with confidence because BO was saying enough centrist stuff to get elected and they KNEW that he was a radical leftist in the McCarthy mold from the get-go!
Is it 2012 yet?
I have two pieces of advise for Mr. O. First, if you plan on executing your destruction of American capitalism, you'd better get it done QUICK! The 2010 elections are right around the corner and the American people know now that the emperor is naked and they WILL NOT re-elect anyone who stands with you now, so, to quote the bible, "what you must do, do quickly!" Second, how do you plan on governing when you lose your majority in both Houses, Mr. O? If I were you, I'd try to develop some coalitions and that right quick so you have some semblance of governance when the dust settles!
Then again, that's just me!
Oh, and BTW, Mr. President; thanks a lot for breaking a tradition that has stood since H. Truman by NOT attending an organized Christian church service on the National Day of Prayer! You present yourself to the electorate as a Christian, talk about your years of faithful service to your church (well, the radical white-hating, America-hating, Jew-hating organization you attended...I don't know if it really qualifies as a 'church'), and then go out and proudly announce that America is NOT a Christian nation and, just to prove it, fail to follow through with a time-honored tradition of American Presidents going to a service to pray on the National Day of Prayer.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Mr. President!
If anyone who reads here regularly had any doubt, I don't blog as much as I used to. It's mostly because I started feeling a little like Rush Limbaugh, saying the same thing over and over again. What I (and he) said was true, but if you didn't get it the first thirty times, why would you get it now?
Uhh...here we go; water is wet, sky is blue, Barack Oboma is WAY overmatched, totally disingenuous, and frankly, not worthy to be the President of the United States. He got into office because every AA in America voted for him and CONTINUE to defend him and his policies despite the sheer idiocy that they represent, because of white guilt, and because liberals FINALLY got a true socialist that they could get behind and support with confidence because BO was saying enough centrist stuff to get elected and they KNEW that he was a radical leftist in the McCarthy mold from the get-go!
Is it 2012 yet?
I have two pieces of advise for Mr. O. First, if you plan on executing your destruction of American capitalism, you'd better get it done QUICK! The 2010 elections are right around the corner and the American people know now that the emperor is naked and they WILL NOT re-elect anyone who stands with you now, so, to quote the bible, "what you must do, do quickly!" Second, how do you plan on governing when you lose your majority in both Houses, Mr. O?

Katrina syndrome
Okay; I'm sick of it already! I'm sick of this "Katrina syndrome" that controls every aspect of society these days!
You know what I'm talking about!
The public backlash (well, not so much the PUBLIC backlash as it was feigned outrage from the media and the Hollywood elite!) that ensued after the supposedly botched rescue effort after Katrina has generated an out and out FEAR of a similar fate for any public official who seemingly fails to effectively respond to a forthcoming public problem.
Katrina syndrome is why we evacuated 10 times more vehicles than the highways around Houston can handle when Rita hit Port Arthur, doing little or no damage at all in the Houston area! Katrina syndrome is why we're having this stupid knee-jerk panic about this swine flu outbreak! Nobody wants to be the director of FEMA when the levees break!
Uhhh....it's the flu, for crying out loud! If it were an Ebola outbreak, I'd say it's time to close the borders. If it was an airborne form of HIV, I'd be the first in line for a mask! IT'S THE FREAKIN' FLU!!!!
Like any other flu, be it bird or swine, or just good old regular flu, it's hazardous to the very young, the very old, and people with compromised immune systems, NOT the public at large!
Thanks, whiny liberal media and Hollywood elite! Do you see what your finger-pointing and vilification of FEMA has done? Now, EVERYTHING is a crisis!
Idiots!

All I can say is......Be Careful what You Wish For!!!
Hello again, blogfans!
MDB and I went out for breakfast this morning and, since we were on our way to the baseball game in Houston, we'd stopped in a small (but getting bigger by the second!) town along the 288 corridor. This particular town has become predominately African-American for whatever reason, so we were exposed to large numbers of AAs at the place we chose for breakfast.
No big deal, mind you, but it led to an interesting observation!
That observation is this; what will African-Americans do if Obama fails as miserably during the rest of his term as he has thus far?
Here's what I mean.
I don't KNOW any AA person who DID NOT support Obama during this most recent presidential election. I know that many of them agreed with his stated policies, but many if not all of them really didn't care about that; here was a legitimate AA candidate and they were going to support him come hell or high water or hell IN high water!!!!
What happens if he fails?
I mean, when you put all of your eggs in that one basket and the basket has a huge hole in it, what do you do when the eggs hit the ground and shatter?
Obama is Humpty Dumpty as surely as I am a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant living in Texas!
Maybe AAs had better have a look around and jump off that ship before it rolls over them!
Those tea parties had LOTS of participation!
I think JC Watts is looking pretty good right about now! Maybe Alan Keys isn't as big an Uncle Tom as we were led to believe!
Here's what I'm trying to say (now that I'm done dropping lame metaphors!); AA voters were happy that they finally got a legitimate candidate into the White House, but he'd better DELIVER for them or it will be a very LONG TIME before voters will trust another one!
Obama is carrying their banner; I hope for their sake that he isn't as big a rube on an OJT mission as he appears to be at this stage of his presidency!
It'll be 50 years before another AA candidate has a chance if that's the case!

Isn't THIS a strange time!
Well, blogfans, I know it's been awhile since I entered any thoughts for you.
I guess our new Conspirator in Chief has been so busy dropping one idiot bomb after another, it's hard to stay out of "Incredulousville" long enough to develop a sane thought or two about any of it!
I mean, Obama goes overseas and apologizes for American "arrogance," then declares that the United States is not a Christian nation!
Well, anyone who would spend as much time as he did listening to Jeremiah Wright is clearly not Christian, but don't paint the rest of us with the same roller you use on yourself, Mr. Clownbama!
Now, he's in Mexico apologizing for American guns in that country (and I use the term "country" loosely for that place!). I'll say it again; either you get a grip on your citizens, Mexico, or we will! If Mexico can't control their own citizens, we should just annex that place and make it the 51st through 55th states! At least that way, when they swim across the Rio Grande, they're swimming from one US state to another! In fact, let's just take over everything down to and including the Panama Canal! WE dug the dang thing and it'll surely be a lot easier to build a fence across the Isthmus than the current border! See!!! Win-win!!!
Well, anyway, I hope both of the people who read here can understand my inability to post most recently! I simply can't believe the unbelievable chutzpah of this clown Obama! Apparently, a whole lot of my closest friends can't believe it either since they attended "tea parties" on the 15th to protest! Of course, the Obama White House pretended to not NOTICE the tea parties, which, in an of itself, is a HUGE reason to distrust this clown even more!!! How can ANYONE who was living in this country on the 15th pretend to NOT know about the tea parties? Totally disingenuous!
Is it 2010 yet? I can't WAIT to go to the polls and vote for every conservative on the ballot!
