Oh hell yes!

Every illegal immigrant is a spit in the eye of every single person who came here LEGALLY.

Pardon me whilst I waddle my fat ass to the sofa

So among other things that happened today, a bright young man at my church was baptized into the faith.  And he had asked me to be his Godfather, and I had accepted.  And it was a beautiful thing.

And then the wives started cooking. 

And we ate.

And ate.

And ate.

I was able to stuff down one cookie for dessert.  That's it.  Right now I'm smoking a good cigar and wondering just how far I have to run on Monday to make up for the sheer amount of calories I've consumed today, and will most likely consume tomorrow, as the delightful ladies are cooking an Easter feast.

The Ragin' Mrs. and I were having dinner the other night, when she made the remark "I think we have too much convenience food in the house."  And since I didn't quite know what convenience food we had, I asked her about it.  "Well, you know....  um....  we have that ravioli in the fridge."

OK.  So.  My wife thinks that un-cooked pasta, that you have to cook AND prepare a sauce for, is "convenience" food.

Today is Good Friday.  It is the day when our Lord Jesus Christ was beaten, flogged, tortured, forced to carry a wooden cross through a city, and then NAILED to that cross, hung on it for hours, and died.

Only in the knowledge of our salvation through Christ's death can we think about calling today "Good" Friday.

I'm so damn tired

There's something about living in Kalifornia that makes you want to slit your wrists and bleed out while you take a shit on the hood of a Mercedes being driving by yet another self-absorbed asshole who probably is too busy talking on his phone to notice your deficatory prowess.

This fucking state is bat-shit insane, and going deeper into the black hole of lunacy every day, driven by people who are so ignorant of reality that they force themselves to NOT observe any kind of logical reaction to their behavior.

Fuck this place.

Ragin' Dave's Quote of the Day

From a post at Adrienne's Corner -

The moral argument is "guns can't be both good and bad".  This is just a logical thing, and since you will need guns in the hands of the police to take away guns from the hands of private citizens then you're saying guns in the hands of the government are really good and guns in the hands of private citizens are really bad.  And what you've then done is created opposite moral standards for two groups of people who are not differentiated by anything except a concept called "The State".

Ragin' Dave's Quote of the Day, the Truth which shall not be allowed Edition

Via The Smallest Minority:

If you are stuck in a minimum wage job for ten years, the problem is you. If you are trying to support a family for any extended period of time on a minimum wage job, the problem is you. If you don't think the problem is you, the problem is you. If you don't have the skills to get promoted or hired somewhere else, the problem is you. If there aren't any jobs in you area, friggin' move, but I'm betting the problem is still you.

 In my life I've bucked bales of hay, washed dishes (which is how I got started cooking in restaurants), been a line cook, been a security guard (a surprisingly good job, when you have a Military Police background and can demand commensurate pay) and of course, my military career.  In between those jobs I've done a few temp jobs, most of which sucked, but all of which paid the bills.

And after I got done cooking, I never worked for minimum wage.  Ever.  Want to know why?  Because I've constantly tried to learn the skills it took to earn a "living" wage.  I never wanted to be a brainless drone living on minimum wage for a FRIGGIN' DECADE!  Do you know why jobs are minimum wage?  Because those are the jobs that take NO SKILL TO DO!  THEY REQUIRE NO REAL BRAIN FUNCTION!  If you want to make more than minimum wage, LEARN SOMETHING!  Even if it's how to maintain the fryers you're using!  Make yourself valuable to an employer, and you'll be out of the minimum wage bracket in no time.  But as long as you just sit around with your thumb up your ass, and you can be replaced by the next dope-smoking jackass walking in, you're going to be a minimum wage person for the rest of your life.

So, to repeat the phrase....  "The problem is you."
