Just got home a bit ago

And found out that "Liberal", Democrat-controlled, socialist California is now directing what sexual activity is and is not lawful.  On a college campus.

You got that?  In this communist clusterfuck of a state, the Democrat American Communist Party has now determined that they can legislate lawful sexual activity.

Helloooooooo!  McFly!

The worst part about this is all those little indoctrinated progNazis are nodding their heads and proclaiming how wonderful it is that the State will now tell them if their sex is lawful or not.

These people make me sick.

Yet another must view from Bill Whittle



If the GOP had any brains or balls, they'd be hiring that man to be their communications director, and I mean rightfriggingnow.

Woke up at 6

was going to go running.

Went back to bed instead.  And you know what?  I'm not sorry.

Yet another reason to not attend a University

A professor from Delaware State is telling Liberians that the USA "manufactured" Ebola.

Yes, yes, really.  He really is saying that.  Only as bad as that sounds, he manages to make it sound even worse.

Worse, in the same breath, the semi-intelligible article suggests groups trying to stop the epidemic — Centers for Disease Control, the World Health Organization and Doctors Without Borders — are all somehow in on it. The piece puts them on a list of those “implicated in selecting and enticing African countries to participate in the testing events.” 

Broderick, who is listed as an associate professor in the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources at Delaware State University, defended his article in a brief interview with The Washington Post. “There are many references to what was contained in my letter,” he said. “You may read the letter and double-check the sources listed. They are available and legitimate.”

Between nutjobs like this, false rape accusations, Marxist indoctrination, six-figure debt and worthless degrees, there are few reasons for anyone who isn't going into the hard sciences to actually attend a university.

And you can chalk this loon up there with the people who claim that the USA invented AIDS to keep the black man down.  Same fruitcake, different pan.

Eric Holder to resign

Now when can we get him on trial for his lies and obfuscation on Fast and Furious, the IRS targeting scandal, and all the various other scandals he blocked from being investigated or pursued while he covered for his boss's criminal activities?

That racist fucker deserves to rot in jail for the rest of his life.

Woke up early

Thought to myself "Self, you're still on vacation!"

Went back to bed.

Just woke up a bit ago, drinking coffee now.  First real lazy day I've had in....  well....  a long time.

More joys of Los Angeles

When you go for a run, and you're having trouble with your uphill sprints, your lungs are burning, you don't know why, and you suddenly realize your eyes are burning as well.

Fucking pollution.

I really don't know why anyone would voluntarily move to this disgusting shithole.  The only reason I can think of is "mental instability", because there's certainly no way a sane person would ever want to move here.

Well, Crap

So, since I'm stationed in the festering shithole of Los Angeles, any time I have a mandatory physical exam (optical, dental, PHA, etc) I get to travel to the mandatory medical place mandated by the military for all "local" military place to use.

Which for me means traveling two hours.  No, that's not a typo.  Oh, and since this is government health care, the only appointment they had open was a month wait and mid-morning, which means that I get to travel on the 405 in rush-hour traffic.

Did I mention that I cannot wait to leave this fucking shithole, and how I want Los Angeles to fall off into the ocean and drown?  I did?  Well, I meant it.

One of the "quirks" of LA driving, and by "quirks" I mean the habits of the insanely stupid and drug-addled, is the habit of "white lining" that the motorcyclists here do.  Meaning, they ride the white line in traffic.  Now, this normally isn't a problem, as if some dipshit wants to turn himself into road pizza that's his concern and not mine.  Hell, it's legal here.  They call it "Lane Sharing", as if riding the line between lines is somehow sharing a line.  But I was attempting to make my way into the HOV lane (The Ragin' Mrs. was with me), I got caught up in typical LA traffic, which means that the 405 turned into a parking lot suddenly and without reason.  Which leaves me caught in mid lane change, unable to back up, unable to go forward, and right on the white line between the "fast" lane and the HOV lane, and since the fucking assholes here don't leave you any damn room there was nothing I could do except wait for traffic to start flowing again and complete the lane change.

Whereupon some guy on a Harley, hauling ass down the white line in rush-hour traffic, promptly slid right into me.

Now, luckily he's OK.  He managed to slow down to the point where it was a love tap.  But holy hell people, what kind of brain-dead fucktard hauls ass down a white line in rush-hour traffic in LA?  Apparently, this guy.

So, to recap - two hours in this traffic to go to my mandatory appointment at the mandatory place, get hit by a motorcycle, and then have to deal with the traffic all the way back up.



I cannot wait to leave.  Less than a year.  Less than a year.  Less than a year.

Vacation

Yeah, um....  don't know how much you're going to get out of me this week.  Sorry.

If you're one of those people who waited in line or camped out to get an iPhone6

Please....  get a life.  Grow up.

Please, we're begging you.  You're like a little teenaged girl in the 60's when the Beetles came to America.  You're embarrassing yourself.  That is, if you had enough self-awareness to actually be embarrassed, which you don't, which is why you're camping out in front of a store to get a PHONE.

Get a life.

Pre-destined to fail in Iraq

John Gabriel nails it:  Obama can't afford to win in Iraq.

Let’s be honest: No effort can be successful if the Commander-in-Chief is unwilling to even define victory. This semantic murkiness is intentional, since it provides maximum political cover for the poll-watching president. Obama can declare that we “degraded” the terrorist threat with a single air strike or a thousand.  

(.....)  

Obama does not want to win his new Iraq war. He can’t afford to. If the projection of American military power successfully solved the problem of Islamic terrorism, it would shatter Obama’s entire worldview.

This is what scares the hell out of me, along with the news that Obama is going to personally sign off on any airstrikes in Syria.  Because a Democrat personally controlling airstrike targets in war worked out so damn well the last time, right?  Obama is such an incompetent, buffoonish, narcissistic shitbag that he thinks he can wage war better than his generals can, and it's a war that he doesn't even want to win.

Therefore....  he's going to lose.  Which will cause untold amounts of pain and suffering.

Thanks for saddling us with this jackass, America!

The Mrs. gots quips!

So, as the Ragin' Mrs. and I were enjoying dinner (it's National Cheesburger Day, donchaknow) I poured her a beer and didn't quite do it as smooth as I normally do, leaving the glass half ale and half frothy bubbles.

Ragin' Mrs.:  I think I'll wait for it to do it's Anne Boleyn impersonation.

Me:  *raised eyebrow*

Ragin' Mrs.:  It has to lose it's head!

Me:  *groans*

But she puts up with all my horrible puns, so she's a keeper.

Ah, the smells of Los Angeles

Running through the park, good pace, breathing hard, and suddenly I'm choked by the overwhelming smell of rank, stale urine.

I don't know if it's hobo piss, or dog piss, or coyote piss.  But it was piss.

How perfectly apt.

Your government at "work"

Dude was "working" at the EPA, watching between two to six hours of pornography A DAY ON HIS GOVERNMENT COMPUTER.

You'll be shocked to know he still has his job.  No, not shocked?  Neither am I.  Oh, and this guy is a GS-14, which means he's making at least $106,000 a year.

To watch porn at work.

And he can't get fired even months after it was exposed in an investigation.

That about sums up our entire government, doesn't it?

Is every Leftist "scientist" a liar?

Or just the popular ones?

Another Neil deGrasse Tyson bollocksed up science anecdote, as emailed to me by PJM’s own David Steinberg:

And this is on top of the anti-Bush screed that Tyson put out that was shown to be a pack of lies as well.

Neil deGrasse Tyson may be a fabulous scientist, and a consummate showman, but he’s downright terrible at accurately quoting people. Or, if you’re a “glass half full” kind of person, you might say that Neil deGrasse Tyson is pretty amazing at needlessly fabricating quotes and scenarios to showcase his own brilliance.

We’ve already established that a newspaper headline touted for years by Tyson likely doesn’t exist. We’ve also established that the exact quote he uses to bash members of Congress as being stupid also doesn’t exist. And then we established that the details within one of Tyson’s favorite anecdotes —a story of how he bravely confronted a judge about his mathematical illiteracy while serving on jury duty — seem to change every time Tyson tells the story. 

Every time you turn around, another Leftist "scientist", or the people who claim to use science, are shown to be liars.  Arctic Pack Ice, anyone?  Didn't algore, aka Pope Prius the First, claim that all the Arctic ice was going to be gone by now?  Not just less of it, but gone, as in no more.  And yet we had record levels of ice in the Arctic last year.  This year?  Record levels of ice in the Antarctic ice shelf.  So much for all that "The ice is gonna melt and we're all gonna die" meme, eh?  But get this:  Even in the article talking about record levels of sea ice in Antarctica, there are still people TALKING ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!

So, are all Leftist scientists liars?

Imagine living on the Sun....

Actually, it's worse than that here in Los Angeles.  Because I live in the San Fernando Valley.  Which, in the middle of this heat wave we're going through (106 for the past few days) is much like living right next to Satan's asshole after he's eaten a bushel full of habañero peppers and a case of MD 20/20.

I cannot imagine why people would ever want to live here.  I truly cannot imagine.  This place shouldn't exist.  It should still be orange groves and farmland, not some paved-over concrete shithole.

"We're 32!"

So, in a study of 34 different country's tax codes, we're number 32 in terms of competitiveness.

Anyone who's tried to open a business knows just how bad the tax situation in America is right now.  And it's going to get worse, because we don't have too many politicians with the stones to reform the tax code, even though doing so would damn near guarantee a Presidential vote later on down the line.

No, what the US Tax Code does right now is lower entrepreneurial growth, lower economic growth, and create incentives for a black market.

What, you didn't think of the black market?  If I can sell my product on the open market at $10 but taxes end up eating $5, then I can sell my product on the black market for a price greater than $5 and make more money.  $6 untaxed dollars is greater than $10 dollars that the government takes half of from me.

And not only do I keep more money in my pocket, but I starve the Liberal welfare state of tax revenue.  Double bonus.

Another cry of "RACISM" blown to shreds

Hey, maybe instead of accusing an LAPD officer of being racist, perhaps you should find somewhere else to have sex than a public street in the middle of the day?

Hmmmmm?  Maybe?

Oh, and in the audio tape Daniele Watts comes off as an insufferably stuck up raging bitch.  Not only does she try to pull the "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?!?!" card (at one point she starts talking about her publicist) but she goes off in such hysterics that the cops damn near HAD to handcuff her.

Stories like this are why I roll my eyes at every new accusation of racism.  Because time and time again, the accusation is used as a distraction from the real issues, in this case being that this raging bitch got caught boffing her husband in public.

Another Beheading by ISIS/ISIL/ISOFAW*

That would be the Islamic State of Fuckheads and Wankers.

So of course, Uh-bama went golfing.  Best thing in the world to do when people are getting beheaded!  What else was he going to do?  His job?  Pish.

Didja hear the one about Uh-bama calling the ISLAMIC State of Iraq and Syria "not Islamic"?  Didja laugh as hard as I did?

Remember, folks:  Uh-bama, previously known as Barry Soetoro, was raised by a Muslim in Indonesia.  That's not some crack-head conspiracy, that's just a plain fact.  Before Barky Uh-bama ever existed, there was Barry Soetoro pressing his head to a carpet facing East five times a day.  Ya think maybe he's allowing his biases to get in the way of his judgement there?  Just a little?  "Ah, naw, they ain't Islamic!  Now watch this putt!"

And meanwhile, one of our allies has a head chopped off with more promised to come, and Uh-bama does nothing.  Just like he did nothing when our boys got their heads cut off.  Just like he did nothing when the consulate in Benghazi was attacked.  Just like he did nothing when the SOFA with Iraq came due.  Just like he did nothing in the US Senate for his shortened career there.

Noticing a trend there?

FORE!

But of course

So, the Voter-ID law in Wisconsin was recently put back into place by the 7th Circuit Court.  Great.  Good.  This is a good thing.  It makes it harder to cheat and commit voter fraud.

Naturally, the Democrat American Communist Party is claiming that it disproportionally hurts them.

So, what the ProgNazis are saying here is that a law designed to prevent voter fraud makes it harder for the Donks to win their elections.

So what the ProgNazis are saying is that they actively commit voter fraud in order to win elections.

Ladies and Gentlemen, your Democrat Party in action.

The Cult of Obama

Here's just a small sample of what the Left has turned into.  When I call Uh-bama the Marxist Messiah, or the Communist Christ, or the Left's Lord and Savior, it is because that is how they treat him.

Uh-bama isn't just their President.  He is their God.  The Left has turned into a a cult-like religion where Uh-bama is worshipped and praised on their alters.

Don't take my word for it.  GO LOOK FOR YOURSELF.

Look, we all know the answer

The Question being, of course, "Where exactly is the anti-war movement?"

I mean, with Uhbama going back into Iraq and all, where is the "NO WAR FOR OIL" signs, and the protests and the riots, and all those braindead fucktards who were out in full screaming force from 2000 to 2008?  Where are they now?

The answer to that, of course, is that all those anti-war protesters were nothing more than cheap partisan hacks; whores and tools of the Democrat Party, without a single shred of integrity to be found among any of them.  And since it's their Marxist Messiah who's bombing people in Iraq now, they can finally abandon any pretense of having ideals and morals other than "BUSH SUCKS!" and go back to blindly supporting whatever their Communist Christ does.

Thirteen Years

It never cools down in LA

Just in case you were wondering.

The concrete and the shit keep the heat in.  I can't wait to leave this shithole and move back up North.

Hey.... is Uhbama giving a speech tonight?

Maybe?

The only thing that blithering jackass ever does is give a speech, and he's not even good at that unless he's got his precious TelePrompTer doing all the heavy lifting for him.

Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy dies at 93

Saw the news yesterday.  As usual, all the Lefties are out in their hatiest-hatemongering hatefulness.

Why?  Because Cathy was a Christian, and he didn't back down from Christian values, unlike a certain Cardinal of New York who's currently doing everything he can to demean and devalue the church he's supposed to lead.

Dead at 93.  That's a good, long life, and Cathy did a lot of good things with it.  He's an example to be shared and emulated.  Let the haters hate.  They are small, pathetic, empty shells without souls, constantly hoping that their next orgasm will somehow give their worthless lives some sort of meaning.  Cathy didn't have that problem.  His life had meaning, and he used it to it's greatest effect.

Well, it IS recycling!

Phil at RNS is trying to gauge how much interest there would be for some stickers of this variety:

If he can get enough interest, he's going to put in an order to get them printed up.  If you're interested just hop on over to his site and let him know.

Baseball pennant races

Three teams from the AL West are in the top ten power rankings for MLB right now.  My Mariners, currently third in the AL West, are at #9 in total rankings.

That ought to tell you just how hard a row they have to hoe to get into the playoffs.  Hell, assuming they snag a wild card spot, there will be THREE teams from the AL West in the playoffs.

King Felix deserves to play in the post-season, dammit.

Sure signs of growing old

You're trimming your nose hair (sign #1!) and you realize that half the hairs are white (sign #2!)

Crap.

Yeah, that was TMI, wasn't it?  Deal with it.

Spent all yesterday reading

Just sitting and reading, and sipping scotch and reading, and enjoying a cigar and reading.

Pleasant day.  Too bad Monday had to come around.

Nailed it

This article in the Federalist has a paragraph at the bottom that just nails the Left's whole life philosophy in a few short sentences.

That there are angry, bitter misanthropes out there with a chip on their shoulder about having to cook is not significant. What is significant is that this outlook gets taken seriously and finds a home and a ready audience on the left. What’s significant is that there is a constituency out there that is ready to complain about each and every basic requirement of human life, to resent the effort of taking responsibility for it, and to denounce as tyranny any expectation that life is supposed to be about work, effort, and striving.

Isn't that just a perfect summation?  Think about all those useful idiots walking around squawking about how they should get paid $15 an hour to flip burgers and pull fries out of the fryer.  Are you kidding me?  Why should we pay you that much for doing a job that requires no real skill, training, or effort?

EFFORT.  That in itself is the key.  Put some effort into your life, and you won't be working for minimum wage very long at all.  Want to get paid $50 an hour?  Be a plumber!  But nah, that's too hard and takes too much EFFORT, so these angry, bitter misanthropes are just going to walk around demanding a living wage for a job that can be done by a 16-year old with no experience.

They're already pushing out prototypes of burger-cooking robots, folks.  Make it cheaper to buy the robot and produce burgers, guess what's going to happen?

Just a bit longer

And then I'll be on leave, and I won't do a damn thing except wake up, go running and drink coffee while enjoy my cigars.

Soon.

But they want to talk about MY carbon footprint?

Matt Lauer takes a friggin' HELICOPTER TO WORK EVERY DAMN DAY!

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ONE FUCKING WORD ABOUT MY CARBON FOOTPRINT FROM THESE DAMNED HYPOCRITES!

THIS is why you don't just let anyone in.

So, the ISIS terrorist (now an ex-terrorist, actually) from Minneapolis, who was 29 years old, had 9 kids from multiple women, and jumped at the chance to go be a jihadist in Iraq worked at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport.

Do you feel better now?  Do you feel safer?

This musloid, who most likely dumped his kids onto the social welfare services (who else is taking care of them?) believed enough in jihad to go abroad to join in a massive terrorist army.  And he had access to the planes that flew in and out of one of the busiest airports in America.

Minneapolis is full of Somali immigrants, and Somali immigrants bring Somali problems to America if they are not forced to leave them behind.  And since Minneapolis is Ground Zero for liberal retardation in the upper Midwest (along with Madison, WI), that means that those Somali immigrants were welcomed with open arms and told "Don't you ever change, you vibrant, mulit-cultural person you!"

Well, guess what Somalia has to offer to the world, hm?  Pirates.  Terrorism.  Child armies addicted to khat.  Warlords.  Brutality.

So...  how about when people come to America from Somalia, they have to leave all that behind?  You think we could do that please?  Apparently not.  The only good thing to come out of this story is that the jihadist shithead died in Iraq and not blowing himself up in America.

Either we get damn picky about who we let into this country, or we get more crap like this, only next time maybe it shows up as pieces of what used to be a plane and 250 people impact the ground over Chicago, or St. Louis, or Denver.

Blarg

I had a restful weekend, but not a sleep-filled one.  And last night I was helping the Mrs. with one of her things, and we got home just in time to go to bed today if you catch my drift.

So it's up at 0530 to start continue my day, and my brain just called me a few unmentionable things, with my body chiming in.  So sorry for the lack of posting today.

pResident Uhbama knew.

He knew about ISIS for at least a year, and that gutless fucking piece of shit still doesn't have a strategy to deal with them.

After crowing for years about how he got us out of Iraq, and how Iraq is stable and secure, all his lies on that particular story are exposed yet again.

Dear lord, I cannot wait until I can be proud of my country again.  But hey, look!  Obama's golfing!  How rare an occasion!

I'm with Ricky Gervais on this one

You wanna guess how many nude photos of myself or the Mrs. there are around the house?

Aw, hell, I'll tell you right out:  None.  None on our computers, none on our phones, none on any cameras, none on any devices.

That's because we don't take nude photos of ourselves.

Now, the chances of anyone wanting a nude photo of me is exactly zero, and I still don't take nude photos of myself because the last thing I need is someone actually finding a picture of me in the buff, and then vomiting for an hour.

But celebrities?  Hey, guess what - if you're a hot female, and you make a lot of money by showing off your hot female self, do you really think people won't stop at nothing to get nude photos of you?  Hmmmmmm?

So yeah, I with Ricky Gervais:  If you don't want anyone hacking nude photos from your phone, don't have nude photos on your phone.  And that "phone", as you call it, is nothing more than a computer that also makes phone calls.  And any computer can be hacked.  Hell, your "phone" is a computer designed to be hacked, because it's designed to allow communication with other devices!

So either admit that you wanted those photos out there in the first place, or stop taking nude photos of yourself and keeping them on your phone.

Grilling

Before you throw whatever you're cooking on the grill, sprinkle it with a little bit of scotch, and then dump your spices on it.  If you don't have a particular rub, at least use salt, pepper and garlic.

The scotch adds just the right amount of sweet to the finished product, and it helps the spices stick to the meat.

Trust me.  Do it.

I ran myself dry

Literally.  Sweat had stopped coming out.  Made it home, with a few judicious stops at water fountains where I knew they existed, and then drank water.  Lots of it.

I'm doing much better, but my body is certainly letting me know not to do that again.

Cracking me up

These new Gatorade commercials with Payton Manning...






And Cam Newton, who I don't really like all that much but he's funny here.

Putting two and two together

So, in case you haven't heard yet, there's a serious problem with musloid men raping and sexually abusing women and children over in Rotherham, England.  Over 1,400 female teens and children were abused by "Asian" men (in England, Asian stands for Muslim, Pakistani in this particular case).  But what was worse was that the people who were supposed to help these children did nothing for fear of being labeled "racist".

Head exploding yet?  No?  It gets better.

The Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (some of the the same people who looked the other way while musloids were raping children) removed three foster kids from the home of a family due to their political affiliation, which was their membership in the Ukip (United Kingdom Independence Party).  The Ukip is kind of like the British version of our Tea Party.  Look up Nigel Farage on YouTube to check out his speeches at the EU.  Curmudgeonly and Skeptical has a list of their Party platform.  In any case, the Rotherham Council removed the children because they claimed that the family opposed "multiculturalism".

I want you to think about that for a moment.

And then let's all sit back and taken in the concept that three children were taken away from perfectly good foster parents because they parents supposedly opposed "multiculturalism", yet while at the same time the very people in charge who removed those kids were allowing the rape of children to go on unopposed for fear of seeming "racist".

So....  allegedly opposing "multiculturalism"?  BAD.
But...  actually raping children?  GOOD (as long as you have the right skin color and are of the proper "religion".

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is how a culture commits suicide.

If George Bush built a "truth" database...

The howls from the Left would be deafening.  But when the Marxist Messiah does it?

Crickets.

It's almost as if all of their protestations during the Bush years were all a sham, y'know?

I need to take a break...

I have electronic crap either breaking down or malfunctioning all around me right now.  I don't know why, and I don't know how.  All I know is I seem to be surrounded by some sort of death cloud that makes all things electronic go on the fritz.  Even my Kindle.

Lovely.

So France Dissolved their Government

How many times is this now for France?  Five?  Six?  Not counting all the times that their government was dissolved for them by the Germans.

And amazingly, every left-wing shibboleth was tried in France.  They got more socialist.  They spent more of other people's money.  And yet....  failure.

But that won't stop the Left in America from hurling us down the same path.

To the retarded braying jackass on the bike path

Maybe if you had one scintilla of awareness of what was going on around you, you wouldn't have swerved right into my lane of travel, causing me to have to jump a curb and blow my rear tire.  Since I couldn't then follow you to beat some sense into your ass, rest assured that I'm going to be looking for you every day from now on, and when I find you, I will fucking make sure you remember exactly who I am, and why I beat you into a pulp.

You fucking jackass.

Things I watch to make me laugh

Epic freak-out of a kid who's mom just deleted his World of Warcraft account.





Dude is going through some DTs right there.

Added a new link

Under the "Be a Man" sidebar.  Pipes and Cigars.  The shop is the same folks who run Cigars International as far as I can tell, but on the pipe smoking side of things.  If you're a pipe smoker, go check them out.  And if you're a cigarette smoker, dump the coffin nails and pick up a pipe.  Everyone around you will thank you.

Corncob pipes

Are actually one hell of a smoke.

I've been trending more towards smoking my pipes, especially with the Ragin' Mrs. in the vehicle with me.  She much prefers the aroma of a pipe than my cigars, so I try to make her happy when I can.  While I love my briars and my meerschaums, I've recently picked up two corncob pipes and I've been using them as a knock-around pipe for my backpacks or on long trips.  Any trip where there's a risk of damage or loss to my good pipes, I take a corncob pipe.  Hell, they're under $10, so if I lose one or destroy one, I can just order another without crying about it.

And they're not bad at all.  The trick is to get one with a thick bowl, such as this, this or this.  Get a good, mild tobacco blend stuffed in there, light 'er up and you're ready to go.  Now the Mrs. enjoys the car ride as much as I do.

Now I need a good pipe rack for all the pipes I've been collecting.  One for my aromatics, one for my English blends....

Does this make anyone else hungry?

I'm actually drooling....

How to start your day off wrong

Have the local Los Angeles fuckheads repeatedly run red lights (in the left-turn lanes!) and then speed through the turn trying to turn left across THREE FUCKING LANES OF TRAFFIC and A CROSSWALK FULL OF PEOPLE, and then give those people who are crossing because THEY HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY a dirty look when they don't get out of your way.

Today is the day that I lost it and began yelling at drivers.  Today is the day when I questioned their intelligence and their parentage.  And I really, REALLY want them to get pissed off and get out of their cars to respond to me, because I will get off my bike and I will break them.  I will break them so that they spend the next six months of their pathetic, worthless, miserable lives drinking their dinners through a straw.   I will break them so fucking hard that every time they see a red light they will curl up in the fetal position sucking their thumb while whimpering "Make the bad man stop!"  I will break them so fucking hard that they will instinctively flinch away from a bicyclist for the rest of their lives.

The reason this city is nothing more than a filthy, polluted, disgusting third-world shithole is because of the people who live here.  This city needs to fall off into the sea and drown all the locals, for the good of the rest of the country.  Fuck Los Angeles.  Fuck this worthless cesspool straight to hell.

Bill Whittle is a national treasure

Dealing with a topic that everyone on the Left refuses to deal with.

A sidebar

Me, speaking to the Ragin' Mrs. while another L.A. yahoo guns his compensation-cycle past our house at top RPMs...


Me:  I don't think I've ever hated loud pipes the way I do here.

Ragin' Mrs:  I don't know, hate is such a soft word......

Yes, Mr. Smallweiner, I get that you have glasspacks on your penis-extension of a car.  I get that you try to pick up chicks by peeling out and screaming down the road after the light turns green.  Doing it in a suburban area right outside my house?

Go fuck yourself.

There are exactly four loud engines in this neighborhood that I don't mind hearing, and they belong to the quartet of WWII planes that take off from the airport and fly in formation to their next heading.  Everybody else can blow me.

Alternate Universe

So, just what it sound like of "Sweet Child O' Mine" was sung by a big-lunged black woman from New Orleans?




'Bout like that, I'd say.

Did Michael Brown deserve to get shot?

I don't know.  Nobody knows at this point, because the full investigation hasn't been released.

However, what we DO know at this point is that the narrative pushed by the Race War Poverty Pimps has been all lies.

They claimed Michael Brown was a "young kid".  He was a 6'4", 290 pound, 18 year old man.

They claimed that Michael Brown was shot in the back.  The autopsy proves all gunshot wounds were on his front.

They claimed that he was running away with his hands up.  The autopsy report proves that claim is a lie.

They claimed Michael Brown was just minding his business that day.  The video that came out, showing Brown and a friend robbing a convenience store and tossing around the poor clerk, proves that was a lie.

At this point, there are still two sides to every story.  The difference is, one side has pushed nothing but lie after lie after lie after lie.  And then that side looted and burned private businesses in their town, all while claiming to want "justice".  Because justice against the po-po involves burning down a private business, right?

Oh, and let's not forget the photos of that "young kid" flashing gang signs for his facebook feed.  Because all innocent young boys flash the Bloods sign.  It's a thing now, so I've been told.  Yeah.  Uh huh.

I still don't know if Michael Brown deserved to get shot.  But I do know that every statement made in support of Brown has been proven to be a lie.  And at that point, I'm going to lean on the side of "Dude needed ventilation" until proven otherwise.

Power Grid and Winter Weather

So, apparently people are worried that the power grid might go down if we have another hard winter, thanks to Obama's EPA closing coal fired plants down and dropping the amount of electricity we can produce.

I say let the winter come, and let the people in the cities freeze to death.  This, after all, is what and who they voted for.  This is the consequence of their actions, and I can't think of anything more fitting than liberals shivering, huddled together while they go into hypothermia, wondering why unicorn farts and rainbows didn't save them.

glarble!

Holy crap I slept like absolute ass last night.  I don't think I got two hours of uninterrupted sleep.  And I don't know what kept waking me up.

Today is going to suck ass.

Yep. What did I tell you?

Rosemary Lehmberg has been a hard-core drinker for a long, long time.

From January 2012 to April 2013 — 15 months — Lehmberg made 59 purchases of alcohol at various Twin Liquors stores, a rate of nearly one purchase a week. 

She bought 76 bottles of alcohol. According to the receipts, Lehmberg prefers Ciroc vodka. Lehmberg routinely purchased 1.75 liter bottles of vodka, at a price of nearly $60 each. On occasions, she bought more than one 1.75 liter bottle of Ciroc at a time. 

Those 76 bottles add up to 24.7 gallons of alcohol purchased over 15 months. The last purchase in the KEYE-compiled list was on April 2, 2013 — 10 days before her arrest for drunk driving, and the subsequent attempt to abuse her power by trying to intimidate the officers who processed her in jail. Lehmberg purchased vodka on that day. An open bottle of vodka was found in her car during her arrest.

I don't think this list includes cash purchases, but I know it doesn't include alcohol purchased by anyone else, or drinks purchased at a restaurant.  There's a pdf of all the alcohol purchases that Lehmburg made, and they are all Visa card purchases.  I did a quick, non-scientific search for "Cash" purchases and none came up.  If she paid in cash, it won't show.  So this is just the lowest level you can conclude.

Vodka is also one of the favorite boozes for alcoholics because it looks like water and you can mix it with anything; coffee, orange juice, you name it and there's some alcoholic pouring vodka into it.  Although at the time of her arrest, she was chugging it straight from the bottle while driving in her car, so mixing it was not exactly what she had in mind.

Lehmberg is a hard-core boozer, and if this is her first time driving drunk I'll eat my hat.  This is just the first time she's been caught, or at least recorded being caught.

Way to go, Texas Democrats!  You sure picked a winner to rally behind!

If this seems like over-kill to you, please keep in mind that I have seen the immediate, bloody aftermath of drunk driving.  I've seen what it can do to a human being, and to the family that human being is ripped away from due to the selfish, stupid actions of the drunk driver.  So the fact that this DA gets rip-snorting drunk and then behind the wheel pisses me off to no end.  The fact that she's also supposed to be in charge of the Public Integrity Unit infuriates me due to the rank hypocrisy of both the DA and the people who support her.  The fact that the Democrats demanded that Lehmberg keep her job despite being a drunk-driving alcoholic is due only to politics, not any kind of integrity or respect for the position, and the fact that they are using the legal system to attack Gov. Perry over his actions shows that they care more about putting their people into positions of power rather than following the damn law themselves.  This entire episode should show just how far gone the Democrats in Austin, TX have fallen.  The fact that national Democrats are backing off and saying this goes too far should drive that last point home like a splitting maul to the Texas Democrat's heads.

So, just to be clear...

...the Democrats in Texas are demanding that a drunk-driving alcoholic DA who is in charge of the Public Integrity Unit be allowed to keep her job despite the drunk-driving, cop-abusing behavior, and attempts by Gov. Rick Perry are illegal in their book.

Oh, and this drunk-driving Democrat DA wasn't just drunk, she was friggin' hammered.  To whit, a .238 BAC.

.238.  Blood.  Alcohol.  Content.

Lemme tell y'all a story about younger Dave, m'kay?  Younger Dave, back when he was an MP, had gone through DUI detection and deterrence courses, and as such, was volunteered to be the drinker at the upcoming DUI detection course.  In short, they have people get drunk so that other MP's can do the field sobriety tests on them, and thus learn just what a drunk person looks like while taking field sobriety tests.  On top of that, you have to determine the person's BAC within a certain percentage just from the field sobriety tests, and in order for that to happen, the person you're testing has to have an actual BAC.

So Dave drank.  And drank.  Keep in mind that when I was younger, this was not an unknown thing for me.  I was a hard drinker when I was younger; probably borderline alcoholic.  I could drink a lot of folks under the table.  Not everybody, but most people.

So I did thirteen shots of Southern Comfort 101.  That's 101 proof SoCo.  50.5% alcohol.  In three hours.

Folks, I was hammered.  I had a hard time walking.  I could speak, but not well.

At the three hour mark, they took my BAC with a breathalyzer test.  It was a .133 BAC.

.133 after thirteen shots in three hours.  And again, I was hammered.  I was drinking on the Army's time, and damn if I wasn't going to do the best drinking I could do!  But I couldn't walk, and I damn sure wasn't even going to think about driving.  They took my BAC an hour later and I was a .113 BAC, and that's STILL too damn drunk to drive.

So trust me when I say that if someone has reached a .238 BAC and they are still upright, they have been getting drunk each day, every day, every week, for years and years on end.  For this woman to be DRIVING with a .238 BAC means that she has been doing this more than once.  More than twice. Hell, I'm willing to bet that she gets behind the wheel with a snoot-full at least once or twice a week, because she has been drinking hard-core for YEARS.  I would hazard a guess that she's downing a fifth of liquor a night, or at least close to that amount.

And then she goes for a drive.

Hey, just the person you want as your DA, right?  Just the person you want running the Public Integrity Unit, right?  Well, only if you're a Democrat in Texas, I guess.  So every time you hear about Rick Perry being indicted, just remember that the Texas Democrats are demanding that a drunk-driving DA be allowed to keep her job AND be in charge of the Public Integrity Unit.

Bill Whittle on Suicide

I can only add "Yeah, what he said".

I'm all in favor of this

Insty, commenting on how to demilitarize the police:

A simple rule would be to provide that police can have only weapons that a civilian could lawfully possess, since they’re civilians themselves.

Of course, it would have to be weapons available to ALL civilians, not just the politically favored ones.

Hey, did you hear the one about....

....the Reuters "journalist" who fell face down on Obama's crotch and gave him a blowjob right on the front page?

No?

Well, here it is.

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama is loosening restrictions on lobbyists who want to serve on federal advisory boards, a White House official said on Tuesday, a setback to the president's efforts to tamp down special interest influence in Washington.

Feel the spin.  Feel it!  Good God, they can't even bring themselves to admit what he's doing!  Obama's actions are a "setback" to Obama's efforts?  As Instapundit likes to say, the Media in this country is nothing more than Democrat American Communist Party advocates with bylines.

!!!!!

Excuse me, I need a drink.

A thousand times, this.

Erin Palette in the comments yesterday made a statement that I'd like to repeat:

"YOU SELFISH MOTHERFUCKER YOU ONLY SUCCEEDED IN HURTING THE PEOPLE WHO CARED ABOUT YOU."

Suicide hurts everyone around.  It is probably the single most painful and selfish thing you can do to the people who care about you.  I've had to go to a funeral of a friend who committed suicide, and his poor mother could not understand what had happened.  She would ask me and everyone else why he did it, and we had no answers.

I feel a great deal of pity for Robin Williams, but that pity ends at the point he tied a belt around his neck and stepped off his chair.  I have no doubt he was a tortured soul, but that never excuses ending your own life and transferring that torture to everyone you love.

I won't even get in to the Catholic view of suicide.  Suffice to say that when I called it the "unforgivable sin" I wasn't far off.

So I'm right there with Erin.  Fuck you, Robin Williams, for hurting everyone you loved.  Fuck you for hurting everyone around you.  Fuck you for putting all your friends and family in such pain and grief.  Robin Williams committed one of the most selfish acts in the world, and there is no amount of depression on his part that can excuse the pain and suffering that his family is going through right now.

There is never a happy ending in suicide.  For anyone.

Robin Williams is dead

By suicide.  Dammit.

Folks, suicide is the unforgivable sin.  Just don't do it.  Ever.

Dear Angry Black People in Ferguson, Missouri...

When you are trying to show America that you're not a bunch of rioting thugs, doing things like rioting, vandalism, robbery and attempted murder probably are not the best activities for you to engage in.

I mean, seriously here folks!  How many negative stereotypes can you perpetuate in one night?  Apparently, all of them.  Not good.  Not good at all.  This is like the WTO riots in Seattle, where one rocket scientist got himself photographed vandalizing the Niketown store while wearing...

Nikes.

For those people in Ferguson, MO who are having a little trouble comprehending the concept, here's a handy video from Chris Rock.

Hey, want to know a good way to die?

Get out of your race car and go running down a DIRT TRACK while every other car is still moving, and then try to poke your finger through the window of a MOVING RACE CAR.

Look, I feel sorry for the dead guy's family, but I also feel damn sorry for Tony Stewart.  If this young little hot-headed dipshit had approached Stewart in the pits and socked him in the mouth, that would have been one thing.  But he chased down a MOVING RACE CAR on a DIRT TRACK.

If Stewart cranks his wheel to the left, then his back end fishtails to the right and smacks the kid square in the chest.  If he cranks his wheel to the right, he runs the risk of hitting the kid with his front end.  There was no good place for Stewart to go once this kid jumped into the middle of an ONGOING RACE with MOVING VEHICLES.

I feel sorry that this kid died.  But he caused his own death, sure as if he'd jumped off the Empire State Building.  Tony Stewart isn't to blame for it.

An oldie but a goodie

From Drumwaster, just in case some of you didn't see it in the comments.

I know it doesn't fit into the perception of happy hippy Jesus. but despite his long hair, Jesus was not a hippy.

Sorry to harsh your mellow, dude.

Still pissed about the fence

Every time I look into my front yard.

Non-insurance carrying bastard.

Still, thank god the fence was there, otherwise I'd be royally pissed about the gaping hole in my front living-room wall.

Good News / Bad News

Bad News - some Mexican just plowed into my front fence.  Hit the concrete post and slammed it into a 45 degree angle, taking a good portion of the rest of the fence with him.  This was after he took a bus-stop sign and snapped it off at knee level on the opposite corner, so he was hauling ass for a good long while after he hit the first curb.

Good News - the fence kept him from plowing into my living room.

I'll take what I can get.

This is what happens

When weak, gutless pathetic presidents are allowed to screw things up.  Or in other words, every time America has allowed a Democrat to infest the Oval Office.  Johnson screwed us into Viet Nam, and then did everything he could do to get us to lose.  Carter twiddled his thumbs as the Middle East fell apart.  Clinton screwed up Somalia, and allowed thousands to be slaughtered in Rwanda.  And Obama has probably done more to make things worse in the Middle East than Carter could even dream of.  He pissed away his chance to support the Iranian people in 2009.  He pushed out Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, and then supported the jihadi Muslim Brotherhood.  He drew his red line in the sand of Syria, then erased it, then drew it again, then erased it again, and finally begged Vladimir Putin to take over.

He pulled us out of Iraq without any concept of the consequences of his actions.  Like, say, 1,500 innocent people being slaughtered by ISIS.

Hell yes I'm laying this at his feet.  Obama ignored his military commanders.  Obama ignored al-Maliki, back when Maliki wanted the US to keep a force there.  Obama ignored the Iraqi parliament, who didn't want the USA to leave.

The decision to completely pull out and abandon Iraq is, was, and always will be entirely Obama's decision.  Therefore, the reactions to his decision will always be Obama's as well.  And as Iraq descends into chaos, and civilians get slaughtered by terrorists, we need to remember that this could have been prevented, but Obama allowed it to happen.

So, Dave...

Why do you still go to that traditional Latin Mass, anyways?  What's wrong with English?  Why do you have to be so old fashioned, huh?

This is why:















English changes.  HAS changed.  Latin?  Not so much.  There's a reason for the Mass to be done in Latin, after all - the church must pray as one, and that gets kind of hard to do when everyone prays in a different language.  Heck, it's hard enough to do when everyone tries to pray in English.  Even the English Mass used by the Novus Ordo is just an rough translation of the original Latin.

Oh, and for those folks who want to claim that Latin has changed?  Yes, sure, it has.  And those changes are now called Spanish, and French, and Italian, so on and so forth.  But the root language of Latin hasn't changed for about 1500 years or so.  It was the language of scholars in Europe, because you could communicate with your fellow scholars no matter where you or they were from or what language you grew up speaking.  And when the Mass was codified, it was Latin that was used to ensure that everyone in every church would pray as one, and that the Mass would STAY THE SAME.  That's a critical component there.  The Church didn't want the Mass to change as people and languages changed.  They didn't want to pull the Mass away from it's true meaning and significance due to the change in people.  And so the Latin Mass was used for centuries, until the Novus Ordo came along and decided that they really didn't need to worry about all that "God" business in church, and they did away with the true Mass.

You think that's harsh?  Let me explain:  Catholics believe that during the Mass, God is present on the altar.  He is present in the Host and the chalice.  That is why there is a tabernacle in every church.  That is the resting place of God.

So....  If God is present on the altar, and in the tabernacle, then why during the Novus Ordo Mass do the priests turn their back on him?  If you truly believe in God, and you offer the sacrifice of the Mass as he commanded you to do, why turn your back on him in the tabernacle?  Can you even see where the tabernacle sits in your church?  Do you know where the tabernacle is?  Is it veiled, or it is just sitting out in a corner somewhere, a forgotten part of the Novus Ordo mass?  "Oh, hey, yeah....  get some bread out of that fancy box over there, m'kay?"

In the traditional Mass, the tabernacle sits upon the alter, and the priest offers Mass while facing the tabernacle.  His back is to the congregation, and his face is towards God.  The canon of the Mass is said while the priest faces God.

Think about that for a while.

Boy, I need more coffee......

Rule of Law vs Rule of Man

When the Rule of Man supplants the Rule of Law, well....  what reason do men have to follow the Rule of another Man?

The Helmetta police officer replied, “Obama just decimated the freakin’ Constitution, so I don’t give a damn. If he doesn’t follow the Constitution, we don’t have to.”

And here is the downward spiral - when following the Law only gets you punished, and people who refuse to follow the law get away scott free, then it is in your self-interest to not follow the law.

Get ready for more of this.

Do you have a Kindle?

Or an Amazon account?

There is a flaming shit-ton of free Kipling books available for Kindles.  I was just looking for a poem or two, and found a veritable treasure trove.  I'll be re-reading Kipling for days and days.

Thatisall.

Drop them in the middle of Camp Pendleton

Let the real Marines know where they are.

Problem solved.  And make sure all the border-jumping wetbacks know exactly what happened to the people who wear the uniforms of a US Marine without earning it.  I guarantee you'll see less of it.

They know what side they're on

Journo reports on pro-Paleswinian demonstration in Canada, refuses to report that they chanted "Heil Hitler".

Don't you think that an anti-Israel crowd chanting "Heil Hitler" in Canada might just be news-worthy?  Maybe.  But that doesn't help advance the narrative that the Left wants to push, so they try to flush it down the memory hole.

Too bad for them people have video cameras today.

Brain dead

Anyone who's been reading me for a while knows that the quality of my writing has gone downhill in a big way.  And the reason is, quite simply, I'm brain-dead at this moment.

I keep forgetting the little things.  I keep forgetting the big things.  Hell, I showed up at church over an hour early yesterday, and couldn't figure out why anyone wasn't there.  I feel like I'm going senile, but I'm nowhere near that age.

A big part of it is my job.  It is a mind-numbing exercise in stupidity and futility, and I am honest when I say that every new day is worse than the last.  I have one year left in this hell hole, and then I'll move on to something that doesn't resemble an insane asylum.  Part of it is living in a polluted, filthy shithole of a city, where you are constantly under attack by something or someone.  I've had one or two good nights of sleep in the past three months, and that's it.  I'm sleep deprived beyond all get-out.  Between the shitty job and the hellish city, I'd rather be in Afghanistan.  At least in theater if I was being kept awake it was from out-going artillery.

I'm pretty sure that I'm on adrenaline overload at this point.

So I may have to have some pauses in the free ice cream every now and then.

Late to bed

The Ragin' Mrs. and I were all set up to go to bed at a decent time, and then something magical started to happen.

It started to rain.

There may be some folks who live in normal areas who are reading this and asking themselves why we think it's such a big idea.  Those folks have never lived in this craphole.  It hasn't rained in Los Angeles in months.    I haven't had water fall from the sky on to my yard in months.  It doesn't rain here during the summer, and after today it might not rain again until December or January.

So we stood outside in the rain and just enjoyed it.  We finally got to bed before Midnight, but it was worth it just to stand in the rain.

How Leftists think Minimum Wage Laws work

A lesson in four easy panels.

No, I ain't stealing it.  Go look at it over there.

This is what I like to call a "Decision Maker"

If your girlfriend is a fan or, or subscribes to the hashtag of #dearfeministmen, drop her like a bad habit and walk away, never looking back.

Actually, if you're a guy and you're dating a modern feminist, please go collect your balls from their jar on the mantle, and get the hell out of that relationship.  You're not doing yourself any favors.

Another Random Post of the Day

Yeah, I'm swamped.  Sorry.

Random post of the day

And it's safe for work!

I see this as proof that cats are evil and want to take over the world.

This is my inner monologue

When dealing with certain people at higher HQ.





Also, whenever I have to drive on the 405 around here.

Today has been

The equivalent of standing spread-legged while people take turns kicking you in the nuts from the time work starts to the time it stops.

So pardon me for the lack of posting.  I'm going to go find some scotch.

Well, um.... wow.

Women against Feminism.  It's a Tumblr/picture thing.  Here's a sample:

There's plenty more where that came from, including one woman who said that she didn't want to be represented by some hysterical hipster whore just because she had a vagina.

Go scroll through.  Maybe there's hope for this country yet.

It's all about the recent experience

When you couple crap like this...

Leaked comments from unnamed senior government sources to Army Radio, Channel 2 and other Hebrew outlets have described the secretary as amateurish, incompetent, incapable of understanding the material he is dealing with — in short, a blithering fool. 

But actually, it’s worse than that. What emerges from Kerry’s self-initiated ceasefire mission — Israel had already accepted the Egyptian ceasefire proposal; and nobody asked him to come out on a trip he prefaced with sneering remarks about Israel’s attempted “pinpoint” strikes on Hamas terror targets — is that Jerusalem now regards him as duplicitous and dangerous.

With crap like this...

 Obama, who won only 39 percent of the white vote in 2012, is swooning because he's lost even more of it. But Clinton's grabbing 46 percent of the white vote. That's better than Obama did in 2008 (43 percent), better than John Kerry did in 2004 (41 percent), better than Al Gore did in 2000 (42 percent). It's even better than her husband did in 1996 (43 percent), though that result—like the 1992 result—is skewed by the presence of Ross Perot. You have to go back to 1976 to find a Democrat who polled better than 46 percent with whites. And when Jimmy Carter narrowly defeated Gerald Ford, the electorate was 89 percent white overall. In 2016 it's likely to be closer to 70 percent white. In 2016 a Democrat who wins only 40 percent of the white vote and holds close to Barack Obama's totals with nonwhites can win easily.

You begin to understand that the only reason for John F'n Kerry to be SecState is to make Hillary Clinton's incompetent bumbling look good in comparison.  After four years in office, Clinton's only real accomplishment was to get four Americans, including an ambassador, killed by jihadists in Benghazi.  And John F'n Kerry is making her look good!

And people are buying her bullshit!

Weep for our country, people.  

Oh, hey, look! It's the interwebs!

Yeah, sorry 'bout the lack of posting.  I only fired up my computer at 2000 hrs today, so needless to say, my blogging time has been light.

So...  bewbs!

What "50 Shades of Grey" taught me

Actually, the reaction to "50 Shades of Grey", because I haven't read on bit of the books.  I picked it up at the store, thumbed to a point in the middle and read a few paragraphs.  What I read left me so unimpressed that I put the book down and walked away.  It's pr0n, plain and simple.  And who gobbled it up?

Women.  By the millions.  And millions.  Woman after woman bought and read all three books, and now they're making a movie out of it.  Matt Walsh gives you 4 reasons to hate it, but I'm going to just sit back and watch the fur fly once this movie comes out.  Hell, if I recall correctly there were shit-storms about the guy who they originally picked to play the "protagonist", and I'm using that word loosely.

The fact that "50 Shades of Grey" and it's sequels have made so much money and been so popular highlights some interesting facts about American women.  They, the women who love these books, fantasize about being dominated by an amoral, one-dimentional sociopath.  Which means that millions upon millions of women are proving my point that women love jackasses.

The movie is going to make a shit-ton of cash, because there are enough people in America who will enjoy seeing BDSM sex on the big screen.  They won't be getting any of my money, but considering how often I (don't) go to the movies these days that's not really saying much.

But every time the cash register goes ka-CHING! I'll be smiling at the thought of all those self-righteous feminists paying to see what they claim to be their worst nightmare, even while their panties are getting sopping wet at the thought of a woman being tied up, whipped, beaten, abused verbally and emotionally, and then used as a sex toy.

Does that make me a bad person?  Meh.  I don't care

Get your coats ready

Despite the unholy heat in Los Angeles, which is probably due to it being next-door to hell, the rest of the world seems to have a small little trend going on.

Folks, global warming is a hoax, OK?  It's a hoax created and maintained by people who want money; they want your money if they can guilt it out of you, and they want government money for saying all the right things.  When the people who scream the loudest also do the very things they claim to be against, you cannot take them at their word, can you?  Hell no, you cannot.

Stop worrying about the globe warming up.  Buy coats.  And long-johns.  If you're up North, lay in a supply of firewood.  There is no such thing as "Global Warming" but there ARE such things as an Ice Age.

It's a good thing the cops were there

Otherwise this worthless douchebag would have been murdered.  One of LA's "urban artists" (otherwise known as taggers, criminals and vandals) decided to try tagging a sign hanging over I-5 during rush hour on Friday afternoon.

Yeah.  Friggin' brilliant there, Mr. Brainiac.

Ah well....  if they were intelligent, they probably wouldn't be tagging street signs, would they?

In the mean time, if this douchebag's name ever gets released on a wide basis this week, his life expectancy can be measured in hours due to all the people who's commute he completely screwed up.

Well, OooooKAY then!

I can't let Day by Day put up a hot topless red-head without responding in kind!

Uh, if you have to ask if it's safe for work, you don't click the link, right?

A 115db wake-up

The Ragin' Mrs. has had several run-ins with people on the local bike path who are exercising with their earphones in.  This causes people to not hear the ringing of a bicycle bell, or the call of "ON YOUR LEFT", or much of anything to be honest.  And if people stayed to the right and let faster folks pass on the left it wouldn't be much of a problem.

But since people seem to think that taking up the entire bike path and drowning out any kind of outside noise is a perfectly grand idea, there are problems.  And the Ragin' Mrs. has almost wrecked her bike trying to avoid these morons who can't be bothered to know what is going on around them.

So today, I had to get new pedals for my bike, as I'd thrashed the old ones into twisted bits of plastic.  We ride to the bike shop, I get my pedals, we buy some chain lube, and the Ragin' Mrs. picks up a 115db air horn that mounts to your handlebars.

Oh, yeah, baby!

You fill up a small air tank with your bicycle pump, up to 100 psi.  You can control the volume on the horn, but at full blast it'll kick-start your adrenaline glands.

So the next time someone veers into her lane because they're too lost in their own little world, they're gonna get a 115db wake-up call.

Chilled

I knew I was going to be making a martini tonight to go with my cigar.  So a couple of hours before, I put the glass in the freezer.  When it came time to make the martini, I shook it up, pulled the glass out of the freezer, put the olives in an poured it over them.

When it's 100 degrees outside, an ice-cold martini is a thing of joy.

So in other words, Socialists are cheaters

Well, duh.

Anytime you live in a system of government that robs you of your hard work in order to pay for some slacker, you're going to end up a cheater.  Because you're either trying to protect your hard work (in the form of your earnings), or you're the slacker who wants to be a lazy shitstain and a parasite on the rest of society.

Socialism fails.  Always.  And this is just another example of why.

It's that time again

That time of year where you get into triple digit temps, and it never, ever cools down.  Oh, you wanted a cool night breeze?  Fuck you, it's 90 at 2100 hrs, and it will not cool down much from there.

Enjoy your sweat-soaked night trying to find some shred of sleep.

Oh, and before anyone tells me about the miracles of air conditioning, I'd like to remind you that I live in the stinking, festering shithole of Los Angeles.  So, AC means a $700 electric bill.  Yeah.  I so enjoy getting bent over a fence and ass-fucked with a sandpaper condom by the worthless fuckheads in this state who decided that building a power plant is evil, even though demand for power has fucking quadrupled since the last power plant was built.

Gah. Busy.

So enjoy your NSFW post of the day.

Tony Dungy is right

So former NFL coach Tony Dungy made a plain and simple statement about Michael Sam:

"I wouldn't have taken him,'' Dungy told the Tampa Bay Tribune. “Not because I don't believe Michael Sam should have a chance to play, but I wouldn't want to deal with all of it. 

"It's not going to be totally smooth ... things will happen."

Naturally, the Tolerance Brigade is up in arms, calling Tony Dungy everything but a white boy.  And for what?  For simply stating his opinion as to what he would have done as a coach.

And let's be honest here, shall we?  Michael Sam wasn't first round talent.  Or second round talent.  Or third round talent.  He was picked up in the seventh round of the draft, and after his combine performance I have my doubts as to if he deserved to go that high.

Oh, so he was SEC Defensive Player of the Year?  Whoop-de-friggin-do.  Quick, name the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, who wasn't even drafted.

What?  A Defensive Player of the Year who didn't get drafted?  B-b-b-b-b-but, that's unpossible!  Michael Sam!  Homophobia!

Yeah, whatever.  I won't even mention about how Sam's face looks like he's about ready to burst into tears at the drop of a hat; the guy is mediocre talent at best.  If he were not gay, you would have never heard of him unless your team drafted him.  What, you don't believe me?  Quick, how many other seventh-round picks had film crews there, with a cake and a significant other?  None, that's who.  How many other seventh-round draft picks were pushing for their own TV show from Oprah?  None, that's who.

So Tony Dungy wouldn't want to deal with the Michael Sam circus as a coach.  You know what?  I wouldn't either!  Can you imagine the hate that Jeff Fisher is going to get if he doesn't kow-tow to the gay mafia?  Who the hell would want that?

Tony Dungy was perfectly right in what he said.  The fact that the Gay Mafia is howling for his scalp proves how right he is - if Michael Sam had first round talent, it wouldn't even be an issue.  First rounders bring their own media circus with them half the time.  But some mediocre guy who probably only got drafted because he was gay and the NFL knew exactly how bright the spotlights were on them?

I wouldn't want him on my team either.

Oh, the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year who didn't get drafted?  Jackson Jeffcoat.  Got picked up by my Seahawks as an undrafted free agent.

Oh, nope the hell out

Ladies - if you're having marital problems, and your husband says (or writes) some things to you in private that you're not happy with, the last thing you want to do is post it on Reddit, m'kay?

This guy needs to dump his wife like a bad habit.  There is no way in hell I would ever stay with a cold, non-sexual, neutering bitch like that.

Is that harsh?  Good, it needs to be harsh.  This "woman", and I use the term loosely, wants to complain about her husbands immature behavior while she's posting their dirty laundry on Reddit?????

Nope.  Nope the hell right outta that marriage, because it's not going to get any better from there.

Preparation

The Ragin' Mrs. and I have been taking several classes that we think may come in handy, even if it's just to impress your friends on a camping trip.

We took classes that taught us how to make cordage from raw materials found in nature.  How to make stone tools.  How to build a shelter out of nothing.  How to find and purify water.  How to start a fire by friction.

Today we're going to learn how to make a bow and arrows.

It's always nice to be prepared.  The ultimate tool you have is your brain; everything else is just accessories.

Update:  Bonus on the day?  Class was full of Boy Scouts doing their Scout thing.  Which meant that I got to spend the day around a whole bunch of polite, well-mannered, engaging teenagers (and their Scout Leaders) as we all learned the same thing.

After living in this festering shithole for two years, it's a joy to meet some folks who are just plain good people.

What a worthless moron

So a civilian jetliner gets shot down, most likely by a Russian missile, dozens of Americans are dead, and President Bumblefuck still has to get his photo-op in while he can.  Because hey, dead Americans, no big deal to this fucking jackass, right?  Why should he care, right?  They were probably all racist 1%er teabaggers anyways, knowwhatImsayin?

The longer I watch this incompetent buffoon do his level best to wreck America, the angrier I get with the people who elected him.  Obama is just a symptom of the cancer that is destroying the formerly great country of the USA.  The real disease are the people who elect worthless shitheads like Obama into office.

Busy today

So you know the deal.  No clickee at workee, m'kay?  I guarantee that the Bossman won't like this flashing on his work computers.

Unless you work at one of those places.  You perv.
