Was 'Hurt Locker' anti-Military or not?

Sure the director got to burn her ex-husband so she probably carried off the Oscar based on the angry-woman vote. And sure she said the right things about the military she may have defamed in her Oscar acceptance speech.

But was the film truly anti-Military or just implicitly anti-Military because of it's protagonists' angst? Perhaps it was pro-Military in the sense that he was the exception that proves the rule of concientious, and sane, service by Americans in uniform? Certainly Avatar was self-delusion agit-prop and perhaps the defeat of that film was in itself some small sign of advocacy for our service men and women.

My impression was tainted by my memories of the movie "War Lover" starring Steve McQueen. But as WWII was so clearly a 'good war' an exception like Steve McQueen's character is less risky in it's portayal of excess.

So I invite comment to educate me.

Publik skoolz

Yep.

And here's what really sets my teeth on edge - that because I opposed Comrade Obama, the Liberal Lord and Messiah, those people called me an idiot.

Yeah.  You go with that.

Back to the grindstone

Went TDY, saw some family, had dinner with a fine gentleman, and now I'm back.  You may have wondered why I threw up all the tunes.  Part of it was that I was busy as all hell.  Part of it was that I wanted a slight change of pace while I was running around like crazy.  And part of it.....

Well, let's be blunt, shall we?  Part of it was that if I had focused on politics last week, I would have been arrested for ripping off people's arms and then beating those people to death with their own limbs as they bled out.

The Jim Bunning affair - remember a while back when I said that the Republican Stupid Party is just like the Democrat American Communist Party?  Remember that?  Well, here was the perfect chance for the GOP to stand on their principals.  Here was the perfect opportunity for the GOP to actually do what they claim to want to do, and they did.....  nothing.  Actually, they did WORSE than nothing, they joined ranks with the fucking communists and shit another ten billion dollars down a rabbit hole that they KNOW they can't pay for after they just passed a bill that said they have to be able to pay for the bills they pass.  WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK, PEOPLE?!?!?!?!?!?!  This could have been an opportunity to slow down the growth of the government by a teeny-tiny bit, and given that opportunity, the Republicans did just what lost them the 2006 and 2008 elections - they acted just like the GOD DAMNED FUCKING BIG GOVERNMENT COMMUNISTS OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY!  

They had a chance to stand on principal.  And they didn't just blow it, they blew it straight to hell.  This country is out of money.  Period.  And the response from both parties is to spend more.  Great.  I'm spending more as well, only I'm stockpiling ammunition because once this economic house of cards starts tumbling I want to be prepared.  I'm pretty certain my elected representatives are sick of hearing from me by now, but that's too bad, I'm still writing.

If you haven't seen this article on how the FedGov is a damaged brand, go read it.  Damaged?  Try wrecked.  This country is being led by a complete and total phony.  A phony that a majority of the people in this country voted for, in part because the press in this country was wholly bought and paid for whores for the man.  And they still carry his water like the good little propaganda organ it is.  Oh, you don't think so?  Then ask yourself how a registered Democrat can be a "Right Wing Extremist".  Yeah.  Howdya like that Kool-Aide?  By the way, when you see an Obama voter, can you ask them how that whole "Obama will heal our world reputation!" thing is going for them?  Because from what I can tell, well.....  yeah, not so much.  And every time I meet one of those folks who voted for Obama because of "all that spending Bush did!"  Yeah.  And I make them own it.  I'm not a popular guy right now in certain circles, especially when I'm asking "So, when you claimed to be against all that spending, were you actually dumb enough to think that Obama wouldn't spend more, or were you just a liar?"

Fuck being nice.  Nice gets you shit on.  I want people to wake the fuck up, and I'll be the not-so-nice guy banging that bell as loud as I can.

So I needed a week off, because otherwise I would have gone into overload.  The light at the end of the tunnel is the oncoming train, and I'm trying to find a way off the tracks before I get flattened by the Big Government Express.  My blood pressure needed a break.

Let's see what the next week brings.

Let's see here...

I've put up Lionel Hampton, Anita O'Day, and Benny Goodman...  Let's tie this all together with the guy who used to drum for all of them:  Gene Krupa.



More....



And we'll finish it up with "Let Me Off Uptown".  Gene Krupa, Anita O'Day, and Roy Eldridge.  The dancing is a little corny, but the music is smokin'!



Enjoy!  Your rants about politics will resume shortly.

And here's a little more

Music that takes talent to play and perform.  Today's little slice of heaven is Tommy Dorsey.

Tommy Dorsey and the Clark Sisters -



Tommy Dorsey and his brother Jimmy -



Enjoy!  I'm going to be traveling again, so don't expect anything from me until Sunday.

The King of Swing

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Benny Goodman.  And he had it for decades.  Check out this old recording.......



And now this:



And this from 1980:



Enjoy!

Sergeant Mac mentioned Sarah Vaughan

Oh yes.



Although if you asked me what song of hers would melt steel and cause every man to fall at her feet, it might just be this one:



Enjoy!

Little Known Facts

Did you know that Ray Charles got his start in Seattle?  He used to play on Jackson St. back in the 50's.

Uh huh!

And this one kinda parallels my old life in Seattle, before the charming guy you all know as "Ragin' Dave" was even created.

Enjoy!

Little Known Legends

Here's another jazz legend that I've been able to see live, and since I'm in her old stomping grounds (and mine!) I figured I'd introduce you all to her.  Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Earnestine Anderson.

Fly me to the Moon

Sorry, you have to go to YouTube for that one, there's no embedding.  But there is on this:



Enjoy!

Traveling

And it's a long one today.  But since you shouldn't go without good tunes.....



You know, I once asked a young girl from Harlem if she knew where Duke Ellington used to play.  She had no idea who Duke Ellington even was.  I think I cried.



Enjoy.  I'm out for the day.

Thank you Rep. Ryan

Hallelujia!

KILL THE BILL!  I have no problem being the Party of No.  "No" is what you tell a three-year-old child when they want to eat candy for dinner instead of healthy food.  "No" is what you tell a three-year-old child when they want to spend all the money on a trip to Hope-n-Change park instead of paying the bills.  "No" is what you tell a three-year-old child who is throwing a temper tantrum in the middle of a shopping mall.

"No" is a necessary word in the English language.  And if you're surrounded by squalling brats, "No" needs to be said.

Sultry

When I first heard this woman sing, my jaw dropped.  She had a voice that could go from playful to "come hither" in no time flat.






Enjoy!

Ummmmmmmmm.......

So, let's say you base your religion off of a book.  Half of said book is the details of one group of people living in the same area of the world for thousands and thousands of years.  Wouldn't it make sense to look at the book your religion is founded from, notice that the group of people it describes still exist in the very same location, and say "Hey, maybe those people belong there"?

Not if you're the Presbyterian Church of the USA.

The Presbyterian Church in the United States (PCUSA) isabout to release a report which denounces Israel as a “racist” nation which has absolutely no historical, covenantal, or theological right to the Holy Land. The report calls for the United States to withhold financial and military aid to Israel and for boycotts and sanctions against Israel. That’s not all. The report also endorses a Palestinian “right of return” and “apologizes to Palestinians for even conceding that Israel has a right to exist.” According to the press release, it also states that Israel’s history begins only with the Holocaust and that Israel is “a nation mistakenly created by Western powers at the expense of the Palestinian people to solve the ‘Jewish problem’.”

In addition, PCUSA has also resolved to divest incompanies that supply military equipment to the American Army, e.g. Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, etc.

Let me cordially invite the PCUSA to open their Bibles, (you know, that book that your religion is based off of) and turn to the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Kings, hell just open up the Old Testament and start reading it..  That would be the section of the Bible that details the Jews existence in Israel.

If this report coming out is real, and not the concoction of an Onion story, the PCUSA has gone off the edge and can now be considered just another nutcase religion.

More Music

In my push to highlight actual musical talent rather than the junk being pushed today, here's a couple more videos of people with more musical talent in their left nostril than the collective R&B scene put together.

I got to see Lionel Hampton play live when I was in high school.  The University of Idaho has the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival every year, and we made there twice.  The highlight of the festival is the concert at the end, where jazz greats get on stage and just play their heart out.  I don't quite know how old Hampton was at the time, but he still had it.  He would just stand up there and play, and we would all go nuts.  I can say that I've seen one of the true greats play jazz live.

So on that note, here's a clip of "Jam Session"



And here's the same song from yesterday - Airmail Special.



Enjoy!

Yeah, sure

Tell me again how all the changes Obama wants to push onto the military is all about making the military better, and not just some politically correct bullshit social experiment that the Left enjoys pushing on the DoD?

The military is not a civilian job.  The military is not the same as the civilian world.  The military is not there so that whiney little asshats can experience "fairness".  I don't give a shit how TOLERANT you want me to be.  I'm not some brain-dead fucktard who embraces "DIVERSITY" just because other brain-dead fucking retards tell me I should do so.

Has there ever been a change the Democrat American Communist Party pushed on the military that made it better?

True talent

Most of the so called "singers" today couldn't sing their way out of a paper bag, even with producers making them sound good through the joys of digitization.  No talent hacks, making their way in the world by showing their tits and pussy rather than any kind of musical talent.

So is it any wonder that my music collection is filled with this instead?






Enjoy that earworm.

Obama slaughtering civilians

Barack Hussein Obama smearing our troops on the "good war" in Afghanistan :

"We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there.”

Well it took a whole year... but now Barack Hussein Obama is "just air-raiding villages and killing civilians", via Sweetness & Light : NATO Air Raiding Villages, Killing civilians

Mr. Obama now has everything he ever wanted in Afghanistan.
He has his surge, he has his international forces (at least for the moment), he has his massively restrictive rules of engagement on our troops.
What is the problem?

No, I don't think our troops are "air-raiding villages and killing civilians" and it is a war-crime for out of uniform combatants to hide behind civilians. But Barack Hussein Obama is a liar who smears our troops constantly and takes credit for other's leadership he condemned and our troops are winning in spite of him, so eF him and the high horse he rode in on.

Short, snarky answers to questions unasked

Two posts at HotAir made some snark jump to my mind, and not very polite snark either.  The first headline - CNN Poll:  69% support letting homosexuals serve in the military.  Oh really?  Tell me, exactly just how much sway would this poll hold if it were predicting a presidential election?  Knowing the sheer liberal bias of CNN, why the hell should I listen to a poll of theirs without a counterbalancing poll?

Second - how very fucking TOLERANT of them to support that.  Now if they would have gotten off their asses and enlisted, I might give a fuck about their opinion.  Is that harsh?  Good.  I hope it was.  We had recruiters practically begging qualified people to enlist, and we had to lower the fucking standards to allow people to get in that we would have turned away ten years ago.  But now those same people who were too fucking good to join the military want to tell us how to run it?

FUCK.  YOU.  GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY HIDE AND GO FUCK YOURSELF.

Have I made myself clear?  Do I need to repeat that?

Second headline - GEN Casey has serious reservations about repealing "Don't Ask Don't Tell".  Ladies and Gentlemen, don't fool yourselves into thinking that the military is just hunkey-dory with Obama's push to repeal DADT.  We're just not allowed to shriek as loudly as the oh-so-fucking TOLERANT people who call anyone who opposes them bigots and haters.  General Casey has probably gotten more than an earful from commanders all across the Army who have flat out told him "If you do this, we're losing half of the force."  I have Chaplains who are afraid that if this push occurs, their endorsers will yank that endorsement.  Which means that entire swaths of Chaplains will no longer be eligible for duty. And if your response to THAT is "Oh well who cares" that tells me you don't have a clue what Chaplains do.

There are commanders out there who will have to deal with the total and complete clusterfuck that will be the result of repealing DADT, who can see that gigantic ball of shit rolling downhill right at them, and they don't like it one single bit.  And they are letting the Chief of Staff know about it.  Casey to me is nothing more than a politician in uniform, but he is getting absolutely hammered by the Soldiers who are going to have to deal with the end result of political correctness enforced by the oh-so-TOLERANT people behind this push.

This ain't a game.  And Casey is being made aware of it.

Anyone want to yell at me for a bit?  Be prepared to get what you give.

And here's my problem

With the whole "just legalize drugs" movement.  Because as of right now, and for the foreseeable future, drug users are going to cost society a whole shit-ton of money in medical bills and criminal activity.  And if you're going to cost society money, then society has the right to tell you just what the fuck you can or cannot do.

The top ten drug addicts that visited Harborview Medical Center ER back in 2003-2004 cost the hospital over one million dollars.  Think about that.  That's over 100,000 per person, to treat what is essentially self-inflicted damage.  One woman, a heroin junkie who kept stabbing herself with dirty needles, cost my hospital over half a million dollars to treat her repeated MRSA infections, and that's just the monetary damage.  That doesn't take into consideration the fact that this woman was such a wretched, horrible thing that she caused an entire shift of nurses to refuse to come into work until the woman was transferred or discharged.  I remember getting called up to the floor to deal with that particular patient.  I came down a back stairwell, the patient didn't know I was there, and I got to witness a shit-flinging temper tantrum of epic proportions.  This woman was throwing trash, yelling, screaming at the nurses "I WANT MY GOD-DAMNED MORPHINE YOU FUCKING BITCH!  GIMME MY MORPHINE YOU FUCKING COCK-SUCKING BITCH!  FUCK YOU!  FUCK YOU!  FUCK YOU!  FUCK YOU!"

Oh, but when I showed up it was "Oh, they're so mean to me!" (simper simper simper).  "They're so abusive to me!"  (whimper whine pout)  "I never yelled at them!  They're lying about me!  Why are they lying about me?"

When I pointed out that not only did I hear her yelling, I was standing not fifteen feet away as she did so and I didn't enjoy being lied to, she then became abusive towards me.  "FUCK YOU, YOU GOD-DAMMED ASSHOLE!  YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE!"  So on and so forth.  And all of this was done on a crowded hospital floor, in full view of everyone because this thing wanted her morphine.  I guess when you're shooting heroin into your vaginal lips because you've collapsed all the other veins with your drug habit, hospital morphine might be a bit light.  But I really don't give a shit, because the nurses were having to dress in biohazard suits to deal with the massive infections this thing had giving itself with it's drug habit.

Oh, and this thing had two children, both of whom were taken away by the state.  And all of this was done with your tax dollars.  This one woman consumed more tax dollars in three years than I have been able to produce in my lifetime.  And she consumed all those tax dollars because of her drug habit.  Think about that.

Now, if you tell me that drugs should just be legalized, I'm going to ask you several questions - first and foremost, how are you going to limit the cost of that drug use to society?  And since nobody has been able to answer that first question, I'll leave it right there for the time being.

How will you negate the cost that drug use imposes on society?  When the hospital bills start rolling in; when the cost of end-of-life care begins rolling in, and with some of these drugs that cost is coming earlier and earlier.  Yeah, you're 35 and you have osteoporosis?  You were a meth-head, and now your bones break if you stand up too fast?  Wow, that sucks.  And that sucks up tax dollars as people go to the doctor to deal with it.  Oh, you used drugs and now you have no teeth, and you want the government to provide you with dental care?  Oh, you had your kids taken away by the state because you spent your twenties in a drugged-out haze?

The cost of drug use in society costs us millions, if not billions of dollars currently.  If you're taking my tax dollars and using them to deal with those costs, then personally I have no problem with prohibiting drug use.  Just like I would have no problem giving drug tests to welfare recipients.  You're taking tax money to live on, you don't get to spend your money on drugs.  Sorry, but if you don't like it then either stop doing drugs or get the hell off welfare.

If someone can come up with a sufficient answer as to how to prevent drug use from costing society, then I'll freely admit that the government should back off.  But until that happens, and my tax dollars are going to the medical bills of some junkie?

Keep that shit illegal.

Doubling Down on Stupid

I'm not a Bill O'Reilly fan. I didn't have any particular animus against him, I just didn't watch him. Well, that and the fact that I don't have TV in the house, but even when I was in a hotel with Fox News I still wouldn't watch his show. In Seattle I might listen to his radio show from time to time. But watching him on TV, I thought he was a bit pompous and overblown. Other than his takedown of Bawney Fwank, I don't get much enjoyment from his show.

Well, even that's over and done with.

I saw it first on Rivrdog - Bill O'Reilly supports gun confiscation.

Then I saw it on Instapundit.

Now, Insty is reporting that O'Reilly is doubling down on his stupidity.

When the hell are people going to learn?

Got an hour?

Glenn Beck's entire CPAC speech.

Damn, I need more hours in my day.  Enjoy.

I'm sick of bipartisanship

Because to the Democrat American Communist Party, Bipartisanship means "Doing what the Left wants and throwing away every moral that you stand for on the Right."

How did that work out for ya in 2006?  Or 2008?  You like those results?  That's some good bipartisanship!  Mmmmmmmm, how bipartisan can you get?  In modern lingo, bipartisanship for the average American means getting bent over and assraped by BOTH political parties instead of just one at a time.

Every step we take towards government controlled health care is another foot in the grave for this country, but we're supposed to be happy because it's bipartisan?  Just because there's two fingers on the trigger of the gun being held to our heads doesn't make pulling that trigger any better for us.  Could someone please wake the Republican Stupid Party up and let them know that if they go along with Comrade Obama's plans they'll be even worse off than they were in 2010?  Good God, people.  I read crap like this piece by Bill Bennett defending the GOP:

Second, for him to continue to say that he does not hear the Republican party admit its failings or problems is to ignore some of the loudest and brightest lights in the party. From Jim DeMint to Tom Coburn to Mike Pence to Paul Ryan, any number of Republicans have admitted the excesses of the party and done constructive and serious work to correct them and find and promote solutions. Even John McCain has said again and again that “the Republican party lost its way.” These leaders, and many others, have been offering real proposals, not ill-informed muttering diatribes that can’t distinguish between conservative and liberal, free enterprise and controlled markets, or night and day. Does Glenn truly believe there is no difference between a Tom Coburn, for example, and a Harry Reid or a Charles Schumer or a Barbara Boxer? Between a Paul Ryan or Michele Bachmann and a Nancy Pelosi or Barney Frank?

Emphasis is mine, because that's the part I want to answer right away - The GOP is not led by Michele Bachmann.  The GOP is not led by Paul Ryan.  The GOP is lead by a bunch of spineless milktoasts who have spent just as hard and just as fast as the Donks wanted under GWB.  If the end results are the same, highlighting the supposed differences between people in Congress is nothing more than a fantasy.  "Oh, but Barney Frank is different than Paul Ryan!"  Really?  Wow.  Thanks for that little nugget of information, Bill.  Now, when Bawney the taint-sucking parasite was running Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into the ground under the GOP led Congress, what Republican did a damn thing to stop him?  And what exactly is the punishment for wrecking the US economy with his corruption and malfeasance?  Oh, nothing?  Nothing at all?

I don't give a shit if Ryan and Frank are different.  Because Bawney Fwank still did whatever the fuck he wanted to do, aided and abetted by the GOP.

If the GOP had actually stuck to it's principals from 2000 to 2006, the Donks would have never won Congress in 2006, and Obama wouldn't be president right now.  But when you show all the restraint and morals of a diseased Filipino whore, you're going to lose conservatives.  And when conservatives are your voting base, pissing them off means you lose elections.  Just ask John McCain, the least disgusting Democrat running in 2008.

So now the GOP is going to meet with the Teleprompter Jesus in a show of "bipartisanship".  Oh.  Joy.  That just means we'll get fucked over twice as hard.  I'm perfectly happy being the party of obstructionism.  And the GOP whines "but but but.....  Obama has a bully pulpit, and he'll use it to make us look like big meanies!"  Hey GOP - if you weren't such a bunch of braindead fucking jackasses you'd have grabbed ahold of the New Media with both hands and FUCKING USED IT!  You're no longer constrained by the Obama-fellating State Run Media!  You have other options!  But I think that you don't even WANT to use those other options, because that would mean growing a damn spine and standing up to the damned Marxist in Charge!

The only good I see coming out of this little "summit" is that the Tea Parties will take over the GOP that much faster.  And the GOP will die, and be reborn.  Maybe.  But I don't know if we can repair the damage that will get done in the meantime.

UPDATE:  Ahem.  If it brays like a jackass, and acts like a jackass, it's a fucking jackass.  Got it?

The top earmarkers in both the House and Senate are Republicans, even after the GOP has spent much of the past year making fiscal restraint and runaway government spending the centerpiece of its political message.

Rep. Bill Young (R-Fla.) and Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) — both atop defense spending panels — led their respective bodies in securing earmarks, according to an analysis by the nonprofit Taxpayers for Common Sense

Hey, here's an idea - if you don't want people think that you're just like the Donks, STOP ACTING JUST LIKE THE FUCKING DONKS!!!!  HOW HARD IS THAT TO UNDERSTAND?!?!?!?!

Busy day today

Just a lot of stuff to do.  But that's why I have a blogroll!

And here's a blog I've been meaning to add to the blogroll.

Or you could just google up some left-handed lesbian eskimo midget porn.  I hear it's a favorite of Og's.

I'm outta here for the day.

What?

Is this a serious story?  Changing the name of Operation Iraqi Freedom?

Great.  I don't think I can describe just how disgusted I am with America right now, for electing that brainless fucking turd to the White House.

He isn't fit to lead a drunk to a bar, much less be in command of the greatest military in the world.  That fucking anti-military piece of shit is a joke.  A fraud.  He's a phony, a disgusting poser who cares more about his communist ideology than anything else in the world.

So Tiger Woods made a statement

And it was on EVERY FUCKING CHANNEL AT EVERY FUCKING TV AT EVERY FUCKING PLACE IN EVERY FUCKING AIRPORT!

Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

It's almost as if the State-run media is trying to avoid reporting on the Democrat American Communist Party meltdown.  This is why I refuse to watch CNN.  I literally can't stand it.  They do one of two things - they either deep-throat their Liberal Lord and Messiah, or they don't report on ANYTHING because that might make the Teleprompter Jesus look bad.

Gah.

Drivers

Drove from Lincoln to Omaha this morning in the middle of a decent amount of snow.  Nothing horrendous, just a couple of inches.  The drivers there were actually slowing down a bit, driving sane and straight, not doing anything stupid.  They gave each other enough room, and nobody was riding my ass.

It was such a different experience from Wisconsin that I almost didn't know what to do.

Lincoln, Nebraska

OK, so....  there's the University of Nebraska.  I got that.  Cornhusker highway, Cornhusker this and that.  But what else is there?  I've been told of the Haymarket district, and I might be checking that out tonight.  Any good brew-pubs?  Cigar bars?  I would be perfectly happy holding a glass of scotch and puffing a cigar.

Anybody?

Hey!

How did my hometown get into the news like that?

Oh, and as for this "Clinton planning Tea Party counter-attack" kerfluffle?  Ain't gonna happen.  If anything, the Clintons are going to encourage the Tea Parties to attack the GOP, splitting the conservative vote and allowing the communists to get elected.  And even if they try to destroy the Tea Party movement, they can't.  They don't even understand it, how are they going to defeat it?

Now THAT is an improvement!

A Rhode Island town just fired every high school teacher.  Every last one of them.  In a town where the average yearly income is 22k, and the teachers are making 75k and up?  And the school has a 50% failure rate?

Oh boy.

A 50% FAILURE RATE????  Ladies and gentlemen, if your school has a 50% failure rate, as in 50% of the students are failing, you need to fire EVERYONE!  I'm not cracking on the superintendent.  I wholly support her actions.  What bugs the shit out of me is that it should have happened sooner!

And the super wanted six actions taken that the teachers union balked at.  Six actions that I thought were quite reasonable.  Of course, if you've read me for a while, you know that I think the publik skool sistim is a pathetic, useless pile of crap that needs to be completely blown apart, and to be quite honest I'm ambivalent about whether or not it gets rebuilt after that.  The publik skool sistim is part of the problem in this country.  But at least one town is trying to improve it.  So bully for Central Falls.

Just imaging what would happen

If Joe "The Drunk Irishman" Biden had an (R) after his name instead of a (D).  I mean, after getting his pathetic ass handed to him by Dick Cheney, after attempting to lecture Scott Brown, who just so happens to be an Army Lawyer, on the legalities of a military tribunal, after claiming credit for victory in Iraq after decades of opposing it......  Dan Quail reads a flashcard wrong and is hounded for the rest of his life.  Biden the gaff machine is so incompetent that he could (and probably has) fucked up a wet dream, and the press gives him a pass time after time after time after time after time after time after time after time after time after time after time after time......  Hmmmmm, I wonder why?  What on earth could make the state-run media cover up all of Joe the Drunken Irishman's fuckups?

Biden is another pathetic jackass to hang round the Democrat American Communist Party's neck in 2010.  Hey, America!  This is who is running the country!  This bumbling idiot can't tie his own shoes without help!  Do you want more of the same?

Secure that chain

Seems like the Teleprompter Jesus ain't quite the draw he used to be.  Secure that chain, buckos.  Tie the Democrat American Communist Party to the Teleprompter Jesus in ways that can't be dislodged.  He's their leader, make them own him.  He's the Liberal Lord and Messiah, and every last piece of shit Donk in office needs to be carrying Obama around on their back come election time.

Don't let them run away from what they've created.  They are responsible for their Socialist Savior.  Hold them to that responsibility.

Caring about your own damn health

While the Ragin' Mrs and I were out Saturday, serving a healthy lunch to lots of people, I saw something that perfectly illustrated why I refuse to buy into government health care.  Why I will fight against it as hard as I possibly can.

Now keep in mind, we had been asked to come up and provide a lunch service at this event.  We made up a good, healthy menu.  Total cost was $5 for everything, and that left us with a sliver-thin profit margin, but part of the reason we do this is just for the fun of it.  It's not all about the money.

Anyways, we're standing there, and we watch a married couple, who we know has diabetes, break open a massive brick of Rice Krispie Treats.  I'm talking 2 ft by 3 ft here.  They each grab a hunk and break it off. They toast with the pieces as if they were glasses of champagne.  They then proceed to eat half of the TWO FOOT BY THREE FOOT brick of sugar-coated puffed rice.  They take a break in order to chow down a bag of Fritos, because gosh, those are just so much healthier.  They then eat the rest of the TWO FOOT BY THREE FOOT brick of sugar, corn syrup and more sugar-coated puffed rice.

With their diabetes?

Look, I'm all about letting people do whatever the fuck they want to do.  Where I draw the line is when people do what they want to do, and someone else has to pay for the consequences.  Not just no, but fuck you with a chainsaw NO!

I'm eating salads, that diabetes guy is eating a week's worth of Rice Krispie Treats in one fucking sitting. I'm out running my ass off (literally!) to maintain my weight, that guy is sitting around watching TV.  I'm eating veggies, trimming the fat off my meat, making my own damn foods because of the wife's allergies, and that guy is polishing off a bag of Fritos.

And in the end, I'm going to have to pay for his health care?  Idon'tfuckingthinksoyoujackass.

In the end, the guy who blew all his money on his three-pack-a-day smoking habit and his fifth of cheap whiskey every day?  We're paying for his treatment?  His cirrhosis and his emphysema and his cancer?  He can't pay for it, he's spent all his money on his drugs.  They might be LEGAL drugs, but he's still spent all his money on them.  Meanwhile I'm the one who quit smoking, and I'm the one who's cut back on my drinking, and I'm the one trying to be healthy and fit and strong, but I'm going to pay for the multitude of diseases that jackass BROUGHT UPON HIMSELF?

Gee, whatever could go wrong?

Not too many people know this, but for years Idaho had a great dental program for poor families.  Even if you didn't have a dime to pay, your kids and you could still get dental care.  It was a great system.  It helped out untold numbers of people.

And then the meth users found out.  And they all started applying to get their free dental care.  Of course, their problem was not just that they didn't brush or floss, their problem was that they were a bunch of fucking meth-heads, and the illegal drug they were abusing every single day was causing their teeth to fall out.  But that didn't matter, they wanted their free fucking dental care!

They bankrupted the system in less than a decade.  Hell, less than five years.  There's no way in hell that ANY medical system can support the population when the population is damaging themselves and then demanding their magic fix.

Just another reason to avoid government health care.

Working Day

Clean-up from feeding 80 people.  Finding out how much it'll cost to fix the car.  Processing 30 pounds of pork into sausage.

Bratwurst, if you must know.

I'm-a gonna be busy here for a lil bit.  See you tomorrow!

UPDATE:  Cost to fix vehicle - a hell of a lot less than I was fearing.  Plus they'll come out to the house and do it.  Folks, if you're military, family of military, or prior service military, get thee hence and sign up with USAA for insurance.  I won't go into details, I'm just going to tell you to do it.

Deer - food, clothing, and roadblocks

I just got hit by a deer.

Coming home from a two hour drive, I see a deer in the road.  There's been deer all over the place tonight, but this one is actually in the road, right in my lane.  FUUUUUUUUUCK!  Hit the brakes, steer to the left, and I see the deer turn towards the side of the road as if he's actually going to get out of the way.  Then, at the last moment, that little fucking rat-bastard turns and bolts at the opposite side of the road, and runs smack dab into my car.  Head-first into the passenger window.

Glass shatters.  I hear a "THUMP".  I pull over.  The deer is laying in the road, my passenger is covered with broken glass, I've damn near shit myself and the Ragin' Mrs. is demanding to know who just rudely woke her up from her nap, and can I please kill whoever it was.

Then the deer gets up and runs away.  OK, so I didn't kill it.  I almost wish I had, so that I could take it home and turn it into venison steaks.  Hit my car?  Hit my grill!  I'm checking out the car.  The passenger window is gone.  Passenger mirror is gone, but the housing is still there.  In fact, the housing doesn't have a crack that I can see, but the glass is shattered.  I can't figure that one out.  A few smudges on the side of the car, and that's it.

No one injured, and a grand total of one window and one mirror broken.  That's it.

I'm still kind of in that FUCKING DEER FUCKING HIT MY FUCKING CAR THE FUCKING SHITTY VERMIN FUCK FUCK FUCK state of mind right now.  My dear wife, sensing my fragile state of mind, kindly points out that even when I hit a deer with a car I still can't kill it.  I'm thinking of borrowing a grenade launcher to go hunting with next year.  And all in all I'm thinking that I should be grateful as hell that we were able to drive away from the whole experience.

Now I need to go find out how much it costs to replace a window.

Hey there, Southern Folks!

You enjoying that Global Warming???  Maybe the next time some brain-dead Leftard wails about global warming or some bullshit that algore crapped out onto a movie screen you'll just beat the shit out of them instead of nodding and "mm-hmm"ing like a zombie.

Just dammit....

Really?

However, it’s not what is in the document that surprises the reader – it’s what was left out. There presence of two elephants in their living room apparently escaped the notice of American’s top civilian and military leaders. Islamic radicalism does not receive any mention whatsoever in the American Defence Review and the threat posed by a nuclear Iran is mentioned in only one general sentence at the end of a document (page 101). To put this lack of discussion in proportion, contrast this non-discussion with other security issues mentioned in the document. For example, the security effects of climate change are highlighted and discussed in depth in eight pages of the document.

I would not have thought it possible that one could publish a book-length assessment of America’s security challenges and responses and NOT address the problem of Islamic radicalism or the Iranian bomb – but that’s just what Defence Secretary Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mullen have done. From this one can draw one of two possible conclusions: these men are really, really stupid (not very likely), or they have deliberately minimised the current security threats to please the Obama administration and support the President’s desire to cut defence spending. The smart money is on the latter explanation.

How's all that Hopey-Changy kool-aid working for people now?  You feel safer yet?

If we get attacked again, it will be because Obama the fucking communist allowed it to happen.  Found here.

If Obama had any balls or spine

He'd be supporting the people of Iran in their protests and rejection of the theocracy they live in.

But because he's a gutless, spineless, balless fucking pussy who only sucks up to communists and dictators (redundancy alert), the people of Iran are getting no support from this Administration.

Let it be known that because American elected a god-damned communist pussy, freedom-seeking people around the world are not getting any support from us.  People who want the same kinds of freedom we have are being beaten and shot in the streets of Tehran, and this country is just standing by and letting it happen without lifting a fucking finger.  Not even a single fucking WORD of support from Obama the dictator-fellating fucknut.

And let that shame stain our souls until the day we die.

Who didn't see this coming?

If you honestly didn't see this coming, raise your hands.  So that I can ridicule you as the worthless fucking moron that you are.

President Barack Obama said he is “agnostic” about raising taxes on households making less than $250,000 as part of a broad effort to rein in the budget deficit.

Obama, in a Feb. 9 Oval Office interview, said that a presidential commission on thebudget needs to consider all options for reducing the deficit, including tax increases and cuts in spending on entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare.

Seriously, who didn't see this coming?  If you honestly thought that Barack the Commie Obama wasn't going to raise your taxes, then you are a braindead fucking idiot.  But I"m willing to bet that all those Democrat American Communist Party members who blithely told me "Oh, Obama won't raise taxes!"  damn well KNEW he would do it, and they just lied through their teeth.  Then again, maybe they really are that fucking retarded.  They're Democrats.  We're not talking about the cream of the crop here, ya know?

One paragraph explains more than the writer thinks

The headline to this Salon piece is "How to Leave a Soldier".  Somehow that strikes me as an eminently appropriate headline for a Salon piece.

And as John of ARGGHHH! says:

The funny part, I suspect, is that she thinks she's written something deep.  The irony is that it just makes the shallow stand out more.  Just as her hedonistic, self-centered outlook is encapsulated in how she chooses to describe her husband and his fellow tankers:

The part that made me sit up and go "Ah, well that explains a lot doesn't it?" was this:

I am married to a lithe, blue-eyed Marxist whose dissertation was on U.S. imperialism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a man who participated in war protests in Santa Cruz, Calif., during the winter I lived at Fort Knox. He has two children of his own -- bright, intense redheads, close in age to mine. I live with him in a tiny apartment in Manhattan, and when we can, we commute together to work. On weekends if we are not at a museum or movie together, we are at home right up next to each other.

Yep, that one paragraph explains more about the writer than she could ever imagine.  Her previous husband has done more good for the world than her current husband could ever hope or dream for.  I could spend an entire day just taking this piece apart and exposing what it says about the writer, but I've got snow to shovel.  Still, if you can stomach it, go read it, because it's a visual definition of the "Me" generation.

Ten bucks says she voted for Obama.

Oh, and scrolling down the Linkiest, you get to THIS article, and I'm wondering if Hawkins and Co did it purposely or if it's just a coincidence:  Wherefor Art Thou, Chivalry?

Let’s not be blinded by St. Valentine himself. A few secret admirers are sprouting up these days and chocolates may end up in my mailbox on the 14^thof February, but I want to focus on the other 364 calendar days. Where did dinner at a nice restaurant go? Why are guys no longer lending a sweater when my arms get chilly? How come the term “first date” is becoming just as out-of-date as the Spice Girls’ famous “girl power” slogan?

Read the first article.  Then read the second article.  You want to know why chivalry is dying?  Because men don't want to be chivalrous to a woman who will leave them for a "lithe, blue-eyed Marxist" when they're not getting laid enough.  Chivalry died bit by bit as the practitioners of Chivalry were snubbed as antiquated, chauvinistic, and repressive.  Chivalry died because modern society, through it's actions, told us that they didn't want it.

So deal with it.  OR, and this is my preferred option, dig it up and bring it back to life.  But it has to be through what you do, not what you say.  It's the classic case of nice guys finishing last.  If you truly give a shit about chivalry, why don't you pay a bit more attention to the guys who practice it?

Maybe it's just me

But this little game here......

I giggle when I destroy Tehran.  And Mogadishu.

Just sayin'.

Really, you douchebag?

So little Bobby Gibbs wrote some notes on his hand to make fun of Sarah Palin....


Really?  No, REALLY?

Hey Gibbs - your boss, the liberal Lord and Messiah, can't give a speech to SIXTH GRADERS without the Teleprompter of the United States leading him along, and you want to make fun of a woman who scribbled four lines on her hand for her speech?

Really?

Your boss, the Stuttering Jackass of Chicago, is calling for an end to partisan politics, and you're out there attacking the Vice Presidential nominee from the losing ticket.

Really?

Your boss, the Arrogant Asshole of Epic Failure, is sinking so fast in the polls that his own political party is pushing him away after just one year in office.  He's making JIMMY FRIGGIN' CARTER look good, and you're attacking a woman who isn't running for any office.

Really?

You keep that up.  Tell me how it works for you.

Another reason I refuse to watch Headline News

Or CNN, which owns HLN - Joy Behar.  My god, the combination of staggering stupidity and the obnoxious yenta accent is enough to make me bash my temples in with a roofing hammer.  The latest?  Well.....

ENSLER: Well, I just think the idea that she doesn't believe in global warming is bizarre.

BEHAR: Every scientist at every note believes in it but Sarah Palin doesn't believe in it.

ENSLER: And I think we just kind of have to walk around the world at this point and look at what is happening to nature and earthquakes and tsunamis.

BEHAR: Right.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what passes for "intelligence" on the Left.  Because the San Andreas Fault is all caused by Global Warming.

The Political Left - is there anything they've ever been right about?  (pun intended!)

The Left's New Smear on American Soldiers

They really just can't help themselves. Now that the American public has expressed it's overwhelming disapproval of granting war criminals the rights of citizenship, the Left has to manufacture allegations of mistreatment to rationalize the indulgence.

Gregory of Yardale at Moonbattery reports on The Left's New Smear on American Soldiers

Harper's Magazine has been promoting a conspiracy theory that American Soldiers at Gitmo are murdering jihadis and making them look like suicides. This smear on our troops has been promoted by left-wing hate sites like DailyKos, Firedoglake, the Demoncratic Underground, Crooks and Liars as well as AIDS-addled blogger Andrew Sullivan and the-blog-that-hates-my-guts.

Human Events examines Harper's allegations and finds them weak, at best, based on conjecture, inaccuracies and... oh yeah, an agenda to smear the military.

Because shoving tubes down the throats of terrorist war criminals on hunger strikes is torture... and NOT shoving tubes down the throats of terrorist war criminals on hunger strikes is torture.

"He's got a Prompter when he's making a move on Michelle"

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!  That's friggin' awesome!

The more I see how Palin gets inside the Left's head, the more I like her just for that fact.  Reagan's son is a smarmy little fuckstick.  I'm actually ashamed of him, like "Oh god, that must have been the one or two genes that were a little....  recessive."  No wonder the Leftoids love him.  "Look!  It's Reagan's son!  And he's a limp-wristed fucking liberal pansy!"

Gah.

Then again, maybe of Headline News and CNN weren't such a bunch of liberal fucktards, they'd be garnering more viewers than Fox News' 3AM slot.

John Murtha died?

In the interest of not bad-mouthing the dead, I'll just leave it at the headline.

Indicative Mindsets

So, this fellow thinks the Tea Party movement is dead, partly because of Sarah Palin.

Um.....

Bubba, if you think one or two people can kill the Tea Party Movement, then you really had no clue what it was all about in the first place.  The fact that you'll ascribe anything to a single speech given at a single event lets me know more about how you think than anything worthwhile.

And yet again....

Look people - when I said that Obama can't stand the military, and only gives a shit about the military when he can use them for a photo op, did you think I was just being a bit.....  rhetorical?  Using a wee bit of hyperbole, perhaps?  If you haven't seen President Bumblefuck call a Navy Corpsman a "corpse-man", go watch this.

This clueless fucking bitch can't go two feet without his precious teleprompter giving him directions, and even with his precious teleprompter he can't pronounce Corpsman right!

I'm actually pissed off right now.  I'm pissed of that Obama the clueless, spineless, classless fuckhead can't be bothered to actually learn a bit about the military he leads, and I'm pissed off as all hell at the clueless, brainless, worthless fucking pieces of shit who voted for that simpering jackass.  America won't die because of Obama, it'll die because all the people who VOTED for Obama are more than willing to vote for yet another empty suit.

Gah.  I'm not in that good a mood right now.

Hey..... was there a game on yesterday?

There was?  No way....

Aw, who am I kidding - I was watching the Super Bowl from kickoff to final whistle.  I wasn't rooting for either team, so I could just sit back and enjoy some damn good football.  And up until the middle of the fourth quarter it was anybody's game.  Once Manning was intercepted, that was it.  Lights out.  Congratulations, Saints.

By the way...  that anti-abortion ad by Mommy Tebow and Little Timmy?  I don't know if they worked it just right or what, but THAT was what all the shrieking was about?  All the shrieking harpies and eunuchs were getting their panties in a knot over that?  Boy, that says way more about them than they would ever normally admit in public, doesn't it?

OUT-FRIGGIN'-STANDING!

One dipweed wearing a shit-ton of unearned medals just got arrested.  Enjoy that jail cell, beeyotch.

The Great Peasant Revolt and DADT

If you haven't had a chance to read this Charles Krauthammer article yet, go thee hence and do so.  If you want to see arrogance in action all you need to do is look at the Democrat American Communist Party at work.  And this trickles down to their rank and file members.  If I oppose repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" then they say it's because I'm either afraid or a bigot.  If I oppose Government Health Care, then they say it's because I don't care enough about the little guy.  On and on and on, and if you've been a conservative for more than a week chances are you've had people use these arguments against you.

It's a good article all on it's own.  But stay with me while I make a sudden turn here.

And what's unsaid in those arguments?  What's the insinuation behind those words?  By stating that you are afraid of gays, or a bigot, they're stating that they themselves are NOT.  They might not understand the effects of repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell, but by god they're no bigot like YOU, you knuckle-dragging homophobe!

If you're against the little guy, then that must mean that they're FOR the little guy!  And they'll show just how much they're for the little guy by taking your money and giving it away!  They don't need to understand the economic effects of their actions, they just get to feel better about themselves because they're for the little guy!

It's sheer arrogance.  And it's undeserved arrogance.  It eliminates the need to actually learn about a subject.  In fact, if people were forced to take the time to actually learn about those subjects, they wouldn't be nearly as arrogant.  It's a position that allows them to attack you as an individual rather than deal with the substance of the argument.  And it's breathtakingly effective, based on how far they've pushed those arguments into the mainstream.  Because instead of debating the actual topic, conservatives have spent far too much time proving that they're not a bigot, or they're not afraid.

Well fuck all that.  Especially on the topic of Don't Ask Don't Tell, I have come to the point where I really don't give a shit what people think of me as a person.  I'm tired of being insulted and called names by a bunch of pansy-assed pieces of shit who are advocating for something that they'll never have to clean up after,.  It's risk-free gratification for them!  "LOOK AT ME!  I'M SO TOLERANT!  I'M SO OPEN-MINDED!  AND YOU ARE NOT!"  They get to make themselves feel good and look good in public and they'll never have to deal with the consequences of what they propose.  And so they use that undeserved arrogance to attack people who oppose them.  Every debate boils down to "Oh, you're just scared" or "You're just a bigot!" or "You just need to get used to it!"

No, no, and no.  If that's the best you've got, you need to go take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut.  Damn near every argument they bring up boils down to personal attacks, because that's all they have left.  And quite frankly, I'm tired of it.

"But gays are just like you!" - No, they are not.  That one is simple.  I'm attracted to women.  He's attracted to men.  That's a pretty big difference, if you ask me.

"Gays have just as much right to serve in the military as you do!"  Nobody has a "right" to serve in the military.  The military discriminates for a whole host of reasons, and all of those reasons boil down to producing as effective and cohesive a military as possible.  Putting gay men with straight men in the same barracks room tends to pretty much obliterate that whole "cohesive" part, just like bunking men and women together would do as well.

"I get along with my gay co-workers, why can't the military?"

Here's my response to that from three years ago.  Go enjoy.

Here's what Fred wrote about the same time.  If my civilian supervisor is gay, and he's coming on to me, I can go home and get away from him.  In the military, if my Squad Leader is gay, and he's coming on to me, he has the ability to control my every move from sun-up to sun-down.  And you think problems won't occur?

Do you honestly think that when problems crop up, they won't affect everyone?  "Hey bro, you see what happened in 4th Platoon?  That shit could happen HERE too!"  And drip by drip, the bond is eaten away.

"But Dave, there are gays in the military already!"  Really?  Do I know who they are?  Here's the thing - if they're keeping their homosexuality under wraps, then the negative sexual dynamic does not exist.  Imagine a hypothetical situation where a woman pretends to be a man.  I know that it's far out there, but just work with me.  She shows up every day with short hair, boobs strapped down with an ace bandage, and manages to make people think she's a guy.  She is in effect hiding her sexuality.

What sexual dynamic exists at that point?

Now one day she walks into a barracks full of men who thinks that she's a man as well.  She whips off her shirt, takes the bandage off, and says "SURPRISE!  I'M A CHICK!"

What sexual dynamic exists at this new point?

Yes, it's a hypothetical situation, but it can very easily be a real one if Don't Ask Don't Tell is repealed.

Let's just go with basic, normal questions:  Where do you bunk gay Soldiers?  In a room with a straight Soldier?  That's a violation of sexual privacy.  In with other gay Soldiers?  You now invite the kind of sexual hijinks that you're trying to avoid by keeping men and women separate.  In with a straight Soldier of the opposite gender?  Again, violation of sexual privacy, both for the straight AND the gay Soldier.  The people advocating for the removal of DADT haven't even bothered to come up with a serious answer to THOSE questions, and that's just the tip of the iceberg if DADT is repealed and open homosexuality is allowed in the military.  Which tells me that they're not thinking about what is best for the military, they just want to push their political agenda on the military so that they can feel better about themselves.  If people can't be bothered to think about what's going to happen if the action they're pushing is taken, then I question their motives.  Most the people I've debated have brushed it off with "Oh, well you'll just have to deal with it."  Yes, yes I will, and not in a good way.  "You'll think of something."  Oh god, the arrogance of that statement makes me want to howl.  "I'm going to force you to undertake an action that you do not want to do, and when all hell breaks lose and you're standing neck deep in shit, you'll just have to think of a solution while I stand over here keeping my manicured toenails clean."

Fuck.  You.

There's been one or two people who have managed to ask me questions without insulting my intelligence or my constitution.  Sergeant Mac comes to mind.  But the rest of you?  You're not going to get any kind of niceties from me.

Flame on!

Dredging up an old post at Velociman's

About High Speed Rail.  You know what the problem with High Speed Rail is?  The problem is not the speed of the rail, nor the passengers.  The problem is that High Speed Rail is nothing but another liberal pipe dream that they want to force on a population for that population's own good, and thus is driven by fucking idiots who don't have the first clue about how or where High Speed Rail (or light rail, or monorail) should run.  All you have to do is mention mass public transit and all the liberals in the room will immediately begin jacking off because the thought just turns them on that damn much.  But ask them the best way to implement it?  Ask for a working plan, and.....

babblebabblebabbleshriekbabble

Back when I lived in Seattle (now home to the SLUT!) they wanted to build light rail.  All the liberals wailed about how we needed more mass transit.  Brainless liberals pontificated and pulled their beards (at least the women did, the liberal pussy men weren't allowed to grow a beard as it might offend the liberal women) and everyone muttered about how light rail just "needed to be done!"  So they came up with a plan that would have run a light rail line from Seattle to....

Um.....  well, kinda over here, and then it would end right there, but gosh, people would ride it!  Uh huh!

The line would have gone from somewhere in Seattle to somewhere about a mile North of South Park Mall.  It didn't go to the mall.  It didn't go to the airport.  It didn't go from one large city to another.  It just meandered around without any real purpose other than to make liberals feel good about themselves, and it would have been as worthless as tits on a boar.  Every mass transit plan not only ignored traffic flow, it couldn't have worked against it more if it tried!  Look, have you ever looked at a map of the Puget Sound?  You have Everett up North, then Seattle, then Tacoma, then Olympia, all in a straight North-South line with the suburbs and various cities in between.  I-5 follows that line.  All the massive traffic flow follows that line.  Don't you think that if you wanted to build a successful public transit system that you MIGHT JUST WANT TO FOLLOW THAT FUCKING LINE?????????

I could have come up with a better light rail plan in half an hour.  Just give me a map, some pushpins and a six pack of Guinness.  "Build a station here, here, here, here, here, and over there.  Connect all the stations with rail line.  Build parking lots next to the stations, or better yet, build the stations as close to existing parking lots as possible.  See Tacoma Dome for examples.  Done.  Now go get me some fucking dinner, ya fucking limp-wristed bitch!"

But that wouldn't have made the liberals FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL any better, and light rail is nothing more than a masturbatory exercise is self congratulations for liberals, so naturally they wouldn't have listened to me.  Plus, by pushing forth a working plan, they couldn't suck Federal Dollars up like a crackwhore.  And golly, they really wanted that money!  And isn't it amazing how all that money disappeared with nothing to show for it?  Hmmmmmmmmm!

Whenever you hear a liberal talking about how great light rail, or High Speed Rail is, just bitchslap them.  Twice.  And then don't waste another second with them.

Don't let me touch your computer

I just had to replace my work computer.  So, that makes three computers around me that have died recently.

Whatever you do, don't let me touch your computer.

Secretary Gates, you are a fucking idiot.

You too, Mullen.

It's time to repeal the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy and allow gay troops to serve openly for the first time in history, the nation's top defense officials declared Tuesday, with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff proclaiming that service members should not be forced to "lie about who they are."

However, both Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen asked for a year to study the impact before Congress would lift the controversial policy.

So, I'll ask again - who's ready to change the rules and allow me to shower with and sleep in the same barracks room as the females?  Anyone?  Anybody?  Funny, because when I proposed that to a hard-core lesbian she flipped her lid and called me a sexist pig.  And when I asked her why she had that reaction, she sputtered and squawked and called me several names, none of which were fit for polite company, and stormed off.

If you are going to demand that I live in close quarters with someone who finds me sexually attractive, I demand the same courtesy.  I like buxom redheads, but a brunette will do as well.

Anyone getting that little "Uh, um, well...." voice going in their head yet?  There are enough problems related to sex in the military as it is.  Why in the name of god do we want to add MORE of it?  The same group that says we have to allow open homosexuality in the Army can't deny that sexual problems are on the rise in the military.  One woman who was shrieking about the rate of sexual assaults in the Army literally could not grasp the concept that adding yet ANOTHER sexual dynamic to the mix would result in MORE sexual assaults.  In the comments to this post at KisP, TUA states:

Our barracks were practically co-ed anyway, what with all the hetero-humping going on.

I remember I had one barracks roommate who’d boink her boyfriend while I attempted to sleep in my bunk a mere 10 feet away.

Truly unbelievably piggish behavior.

 So the cure for that is more sex?  I can't buy that.  Not at all.  The solution is to get the barracks bunny to stop schlepping her boyfriend in the barracks.  Or at least make it socially unacceptable to fuck someone while your roomie is trying to sleep.  Back when I was PFC Ragin' Dave, if someone wanted to keep his roommate awake with his sexual activities, the roommate responded with cameras and flashbulbs.  Unless the girl was a real freak, she normally objected to the audience and ended the fuck session.  Swinging open the door and yelling down the barracks hallway "HEY EVERYBODY!  SO-AND-SO IS GETTING LAID!  CHECK IT OUT!" was also a good way to end the session and get some sleep.

Never once did someone say "Gosh, you know what would fix this problem?  Allowing open homosexuality in the military."

Look, ever since I re-enlisted many moons ago, every time I've gone to a training, school, or deployment I've had open bay barracks or open showers.  There's no privacy at all.  The last thing that would make that situation better is the introduction of a sexual dynamic.  Sex and the military causes problems.  Adding another layer of sexual dynamics on top of it will not make those problems go away, and will make things worse.  We need to go in the opposite direction if we want to improve things.

Or, let me bunk and shower with a buxom redhead.  But that'll never happen, and we all know why.  So why are we going to put me in the same situation as that buxom redhead, and tell me to just live with it in the name of "fairness"?  Because in the end, it's not fair at all.

Seen this yet?

A Canadian Prime Minister is ditching the Canadian Health Care system and coming to the USA for heart surgery.

How much more needs to be said?  Exactly what else needs to be said in order to prove that our health care system is quite possibly the best in the world?  The system that all the pro-government-take-over folks want to emulate is being shunned in favor of our "greedy, capitalist health care system"!

Oh, and let this be a lesson for everyone out there who hasn't quite come to grips with reality yet - if the government takes over our system, and it turns into a gigantic pile of crap, our politicians will be leaving the country or getting their health care from somewhere else, leaving us the citizens with substandard care while they get whatever the hell they want.  Don't think they give a shit about you.  They don't.  They don't care if you live or die so long as you act like a good little sheeple and do whatever the hell they tell you to do.

Gah.

Prepare for economic downturn

Because this is gonna take our economy for a good long while if it ever gets passed:  $1.9 TRILLION in tax increases, and still trillion-dollar-plus deficits for upcoming budgets.

Bottom line: As bleak a picture as the administration paints, things probably aren’t even that cheerful. There is no time to waste in cutting spending and the deficit.

Gee, that just makes me feel warm all over.  I need more ammo.

The Botoxed Bimbo of San Fransicko

Is at it again.  I don't know how I missed this from the past few days.  Oh, right, I've been busy as hell.  Anyways. it seems that bitch Pelosi feels like using military flights to ferry her family around, complete with a Class Six bill that would make an infantry company blush.

For non-military folks, the Class Six is the alcohol store for the military.  It gets its name from the military classification of logistical supplies.  Class One is subsistence, i.e. food.  Class Nine is repair parts.  Class Five is ammunition.  And Class Six is "Personal Demand Items", otherwise known as Morale, Welfare and Recreation.

In any case, the corrupt, plastic-faced bitch of the House has been ferrying her entire family around on a military jet.  That might be completely legal, according to House rules.  But since Bela Pelosi and her hubby are worth at least 92 MILLION DOLLARS would it be too much to ask that maybe their kids and grandkids and other extended family simply fly first class on a commercial airplane?  Because from what I see, The Brainless Harridan is using a huge government jet to ferry her family around at taxpayer expense for non-governmental reasons, and then turning right around and lecturing us on our carbon footprint.  Oh, and sucking down enough booze to light up the entire crew of an aircraft carrier.

Most.   Corrupt.  Congress.  EVAH.

In a just world, that worthless hag would be kicked out of office as soon as possible, not just for this but for every corrupt act she's undertaken over the past three years.  For her lies about the CIA.  For her lies about her lies about the CIA.  Hell, just search the blog for all the various posts I've done about her.  She's corrupt, she's power-hungry, she's a giant hypocrite, she's clueless on the international stage, and she's a national embarrassment every time she opens her mouth.

Another Kevin Baker Uberpost

That absolutely has to be read.  The one thing that amazes me is the sheer amount of people who work with the military who would be classified as falling into the "unrestrained" camp.

Anyways, set some time aside, and go read.

He's a nutcase

So, do you think this bowing thing is compulsive?  Or is it just his complete and total lack of spine that forces him to fold in half?

A little smoke

The Mrs. and I wanted to do a little something different for dinner, and invite a few people over.  So we got a 25 pound turkey.  We brined it overnight, and it's currently sitting in the smoker with a mix of apple and black walnut wood hitting it.  I figure it'll take several good hours of hot smoking to cook it through.  Maybe I'll take pictures, maybe not.  Depends on how creative I feel.

But I bet it's gonna taste DAMN good.

By the way, I'm enjoying the MacBook so far.  Once you get the different controls figured out, it's pretty smooth.  And the battery life on this bad boy is around five to seven hours depending on what you're using it for.  Ohhhhh, yeah.
