Muah-ha-ha!

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!

And I don't care!

Nothing says "Los Angeles"

like having some diseased parasite paw through your car at the park while you're out running the dogs.

Med kit was still there.  I don't carry any actual CD's in the car.  No electronics, because quite honestly I don't have any that I use in the car.  But my sweatshirt was moved around, and they had tried to get into the locked glove box.

I hate this fucking city.  And I hate it because of the people who inhabit it.

And today is just another work day

One of the things I hate most about USAREC is the fact that the people up top seem to always think in short term.  Oh sure, they plan things out for twenty years, but they have an OER coming up and they want to look good RIGHT NOW.

So they do whatever it takes to get that good OER.  Like telling their teams "You're going to work Saturdays to make mission."

Forget the fact that my team IS making mission.  Forget the fact that my team has made mission every year I've been here.  Forget the fact that my team has been THE TOP TEAM every year I've been here.  Somewhere, some other team hasn't made mission, and that might effect that officer's OER, so it's off to work Saturdays.

It is pathetic.  It is a short-sighted, abusive way to run a unit.  It is saying "We will beat up every team we have, and flog the really good teams to produce more, rather than fixing the actual problems, because it's easier to beat on the good teams than fix the bad ones."

Fixing the bad teams takes effort, don't you know.  Fixing the bad teams might mean looking at the systems and processes they use and saying "This is broken."  You never admit anything is broken.  You just ride your good teams into the ground until they can't function any more, and then you beat them even harder to keep going because that's just the easy route to success!

I can't wait to leave.

Another Bill Whittle video

Happy Stinking Commie Day!

Or "May Day", if you're a pinko commie tool.

I'm only half-joking about that.

Dear People of Los Angeles

I know that you are some of the laziest sacks of shit to ever befoul this country.  But shoving a shopping cart into a curb, when the cart corral is TWENTY FEET BEHIND YOU???

My disgust of this place grows on a daily basis.

It's come to this

Apparently, telling black people to mind the constitution is racist.

Dear black people -

Wait, let me rephrase that, because that's not fair.  I know far too many people with darker skin than I who are busting their butts right along side me day after day.  And I don't want to include them in that statement.

Dear Leftists -

If you decide that you don't want to follow the Constitution, also known as the LAW OF THE LAND, then I might decide that I don't want to follow it either.

You throw rocks and demand that the State commit violence on your behalf.

As of right now, I am part of the violence committing state, and guess just now much violence I'm going to commit for a pinko commie shitbag?  And now guess how much violence I'm going to commit against a pinko commie shitbag who tells me to attack the people who do follow the Constitution?

Although I suppose I shouldn't be shocked that this article is out there, openly advocating for violence and trashing of the Constitution.  After all, these are the people who have build a cult around Barack Obama that no truth, no reality can penetrate.  Obama could be caught in bed with a live boy AND a dead girl, and his cult would claim that anyone who objected to that is racist.

Keep your powder dry, folks.

Why I keep odd tools

So I had purchased a bicycle trailer, and it showed up today.  Needed assembly, of course.  I put it together, and pump up the tires to the recommended psi.

Problem - right tire is leaking air from the valve.  First thought through my mind is that I have a defective tube/valve in the tire.

Next thought through my mind:  "Huh.  I wonder if it's just the valve stem that's loose?  Did I keep the valve stem tool?"

Yes I did indeed keep the valve stem tool.  And yes indeed it was just a loose valve stem.  A couple of turns to the right, and it stopped leaking air.

And that's why I keep that tool.  Well, that, and the one I have stashed in my car so that I can remove the valve stems of the various assholes who park like they own the entire parking lot.

Headache

My wife is allergic to marijuana.

The smoke, in particular.  It triggers her migraine headaches.  It's just one thing in a long list of things that are triggers for her.  Most of what she's allergic to is food based, so it's easy enough to avoid.  Read labels.  Make sure food doesn't have certain ingredients in it.  So on and so forth.

But when you're out on a bike ride in the morning, and every bus-stop has some dipshit smoking weed like his life depended on it?  She got caught with a big blast of smoke towards the end of the ride, and by the time she got home five minutes later the visual symptoms were already hitting her.  By the time I left for work, she was curled up on the couch with the curtains drawn.

I can't beat the shit out of every loser who's doping up at a bus stop.  There's too many of them.  I wouldn't make it two blocks before I had to beat another loser half to death.

We have to plan our bike trips based on what streets have the most pot smokers, and try to avoid them.  But we can't even go on a bike path without plowing through a cloud of marijuana smoke that some no-life shitbag is blowing out as he gets high at 0630.

This city is a fucking cesspool, and once I escape I am never coming back.  It can fall off into the Pacific Ocean for all I care.  I wouldn't cry one tear for it.

Baltimore is burning

And I'm finding it hard to care.

Seriously - there comes a time where putting forth the effort to give a shit just doesn't seem worth it.  Do I pity the innocent folks there?  Yep, I do.  But given that Baltimore is the product of decades of Democrat/Proggie/Liberal polices that have been voted on over and over by the people who live there, I'm really just shrugging my shoulders and telling myself "Let it burn".

Why try to help them?  That's like putting a band-aide on a gangrenous foot.  It does no good, and ignoring the larger problem means you'll have to cut off the entire leg later, rather than the foot right now.

And let's face it - I can't do a damn thing for that city, and even if I could I would be called a racist and attacked by the people doing the rioting.

So sorry, my give-a-damn's busted.  Let it burn.  And then don't rebuild.  Just walk away, and leave them there in the ashes of their own hatred.

Russia hacked Obama's emails

On one hand, this kind of thing worries me.

On the other hand, it's not like that narcissistic, incompetent buffoon actually does any work.  What the the Ruskies find, anyway?  His tee time?  Pornographic love letters from MSNBC?

Hey, Cletus

I'd always heard the name Cletus as a red-necked yokel.  A fixture on the Simpsons TV show.  A generic name for any yahoo who screws up with a firearm.

Turns out, that name has a much more storied past.  The third pope.  Ever.

Today is his feast day, just so ya know.  Apparently the Romans didn't like that whole "Christian" thing and cut off his head.

That kind of ties in with how Christians are treated in the Middle East today, doesn't it?

New Link

Up in the Be A Man area - Famous Smoke cigars.  I'd purchased from them previously, and a gent from their site asked if I could put up a link.  So I did.  They've got everything from the big-brand cigars to clearance cigars, to machine rolled smokes like Djarum and Backwoods.

One of the things that I like like about this site is not only do they have the names of the cigars listed, but they also have pictures of the cigar band.  So if you're not quite sure about what the name was, you can still identify it by sight.  When I ordered from them, the cigars came in good time and were in great shape.  Prices were right on line with the norm, or a bit better depending on what you were buying.

Give 'em a look!

Sirens

Some dude apparently was waving a gun at people in the Van Nuys area.

Driving home, I saw at least four different SWAT trucks hauling ass to the location.  There's been police copters hovering in the same area for hours.

See, this is why L.A. sucks.  Back in Idaho, that bastard would have been shot by a neighbor, tossed out on the front lawn, and all the cops would have to do is pick up the body.

Lot less noise that way for everyone else.

Oh, and since we're on a "Fuck Los Angeles" kick, the worthless fucking shithead who put a ding in my wife's door up at Porter Ranch?  Fuck you, you selfish, self-absorbed asshole.  You had better thank whatever gods you believe in that I wasn't there to see it, otherwise you'd be shitting your own teeth right now.

I truly do loath this city.  And most of the people in it.

The Evil League of Evil

Is actually a thing, if you're into reading SciFi and Fiction.  Larry Correia is the Lord of Hate, I think. Correct me if I'm wrong on that.  Vox Day is something-else-or-something-other.  Forgive me if I haven't kept up on it.

What kicked over my giggle box was this.

I might just have to put that on a shirt.  As the creator says:  "I don't care"

And c'mon, the blog is named "Pan Galactic Blogger Blaster"!  Anyone catch the reference?

The nice thing about the Hugo kerfluffle

Is that by watching all the Leftists freak out and break shit, they self-identify as people who's work I will not buy.

I'm not supporting my enemies with my money, and they have literally come out and told me what they think of me, and of people like me.  That makes it pretty easy to cross them off my list.

The older I get

The more I dislike the modern stick-figure parody of beauty that marches across my screen.  I want to see a real woman, dang it, not some thing that looks like a strung-out coke whore.

And for that matter, I don't care how good your plastic surgeon is.  Fake tits are a turn-off.  Period.  Real A cups beat fake C cups every day of the week.

Ragin' Dave's Quote of the Day, The Colonel Speaks edition

On why Conservatives will out-breed liberals every day of the week, and twice on Sundays:

And as far as liberal men go, well, just look at them.  It’s hard muster raw sexual energy when you think foreplay consists of sobbing to your life partner about how you can’t bear the weight of your undeserved phallocentic privilege.

It made me go "Heh!"

Went for a ride yesterday

The Mrs. and I felt like we could use some exercise, so off we went.  We had a few errands to run anyways.

Riding down the bike path, I noticed fresh concrete at every lamp-post on this particular segment of trail.  Someone had done repairs.  And in every single patch of concrete, some Mexican gang-banger had scratched his tag.

The concrete was still a bit fresh.  So I rode back and rubbed every single tag away with the toe of my shoe.

Granted, it didn't leave the concrete looking as good as it was before that little gang-banger had vandalized it, but at least I won't have to see his tag every time I ride down that stretch of trail.

I did leave one tag - it read "Lily and Daddy 2015"  I figured I could live with that being permanent.

Calgary Expo kicked out a women's group

Because these women prefer to NOT be victims, or part of the victim mentality that SJW's demand all women partake in.  But the Leftists lied (as usual) and claimed that they were "harassed" by the Honey Badger Brigade, and so the HBB were shown the door.  Under rather secretive circumstances.



So someone took the CalExpo logo girl, and made it into a poster that better represents CalExpo.

Made a poster for #CalgaryExpo, less offensive than a #GamerGate logo and closer to their ideals. pic.twitter.com/OyZY56I9DX
— Alejandro Argandona (@Toshi_TNE) April 19, 2015

This is why you never, ever, EVER trust the Left.  This is why you never, ever EVER give ground to them.  They are liars, bullies, thugs.  They are the back-stabbers, the Wormtongues, the parasites who destroy from the inside.

A woman's group was kicked out of a comicbook expo because they weren't victims enough to make the Left happy.  Think about that.

Kill the F-35, keep the A-10, bring back the F-22

And find the worthless bastards who OK'd this crap, cover them with tar and feathers, and run them out of town on a rail.

Additionally, the first F-35s are still plagued with communications deficiencies. First, the aircraft has a difficult time distinguishing friendly forces from hostile ones, and second, it can’t verify the GPS ground coordinates. 

Tests indicate that 80 percent of the F-35’s information system alerts constitute false positives. The first F-35s ready to deploy in July, according to the Marine Corps, cannot use night vision technology.

So this MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR AIRCRAFT cannot do the things that an aircraft built in 1975 can?

Nope, nope, nope.  This is such an epic failure that people need to be jailed.

That blithering, hypocritical moron from MSNBC

Wow, is that a triple redundancy or a quadruple redundancy?

Anyways, that blithering, hypocritical moron from MSNBC, Melissa Harris Perry, has a problem both with tax cuts and with paying her taxes.

According to The Winston-Salem Journal, Wake Forest University professor and MSNBC weekend host Melissa Harris-Perry and her husband James Perry owe the Internal Revenue Service $70,000 in delinquent taxes.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please take a look at what an E-7 in the military makes.  It's less than what this blithering, hypocritical moron from MSNBC owes in taxes.

The bottom line is that as with all ProgNazis, they never, ever EVER mean for the rules they impose upon YOU to actually effect THEM as well.  Rules and taxes are for the little people.

Sure, let's set this precident

Elizabeth Price Foley, blogging over at Instapundit, has a post up about how the Democrat American Communist Party wants to ignore the rule of law when it suits them.

We already know the Left hates the rule of Law and loves the rule of Man.  Their blind, slavish devotion to Obama and Hillary are proof enough of that.  But if they really want to push the issue, and we don't have anyone with balls enough on our side to actually, y'know, STOP THEM, then fuck it.  Let's ride this bomb all the way to the end point, shall we?  Because the next time a Republican gets into office, let's ignore...

The IRS.

The EPA.

The INS.  As a matter of fact, let's do away with the INS, and just offer hunting permits along the Southern border.

The Department of Education Indoctrination.

And every other alphabet organization in D.C. run by un-elected faceless bureaucrats who make our lives a living hell more and more each day.

Sound like a plan?

Or, we can finally punish those law-breaking fuckwits of the Left, get back to the rule of law, and have everyone playing on an even field.  Right?  Right?  HA!  I slay me.

Yeah, I know

Nothing new.  So yank my paycheck.  I was out of the house damn early, and back damn late.

I'm willing to bet there's more

NY Post has a breakdown of "every" scandal swirling around Hillary.

These are the Clintons, folks.  Dirty, filthy Clintons.  I'd bet my next paycheck there are a hell of a lot more scandals swirling around Hillary than the NY Post can find.  Lots more.

The Bishop brought this up at Mass yesterday

The Armenian Genocide.  And how Turkey denies it ever happened.

Back when DANEgerus was blogging here, he put up a post about the genocide.  It's still one of the most searched for posts, seven years later.

Christians have been martyred for their faith ever since Christ walked the earth.  The Copts in Egypt and the Catholics in Iraq today are suffering the same fate as the Armenians did 100 years ago.

It doesn't make it any less evil.

So Hillary makes it official

Like we didn't know for years that this was coming.

Hillary is a power-hungry tyrant who will let nothing get in the way of her quest for ultimate control. Not morals, not the truth, not other people's lives, nothing.  She will destroy anything and everything that gets in her way.  Or at least, she'll try to do so.

But the problem with being an unethical parasitic piece of shit for decades upon decades is that those who don't drink the Democrat Kool-Aide have decades of misbehavior and deviant action to point at and say "Um, I don't want you in charge of the PTA, much less the Oval Office."

However, watching her attack other Democrat American Communist Party Members is going to be fun.

Slept in today

My body told me "Fuck you, I'm sleep deprived, and you're going down for a good long time."

So I slept for about 12 hours.  Feel much better.  It's amazing what you can do when you're not constantly dozing off.

Went for a walk to the store instead of driving, for instance.  Nice.  It's still in LA, and we had to dodge the bums and their piss-soaked areas, and the gang graffiti, and the crazy drivers.  But still, it was nice.  Especially since it's not hotter than Satan's jockstrap here yet.

Yeah, I know...

Blogging has sucked lately.  I've been damn busy, folks.  And the few scraps of time I have where I'm not doing something, I've just wanted to crawl into a hole and pull it in after me.

Sorry.

I would like to thank

All the women who continue to wear skin tight yoga pants while traveling via airplane, for keeping me entertained through multiple airports by showing me all the same views they wouldn't dare show people back home.

Seriously, folks.  I can check out your pubic hair style.

I especially want to thank the woman wearing white spandex in the San Francisco airport who gave me a perfect shot of her vulva as she was going down the escalator while I was going up.  Nothing makes a traveling man happier than viewing labia.

So the Hugo Nominations are out

And the predictable crowd is predictably losing their collective shit.  A few recaps here and here.  But those are by no means the only shit being lost by the Leftists who until this year had a death grip on the Hugos and were strangling the life out of them.

I long since stopped using the Hugo Award as a reason to buy a book.  In fact, I would consciously avoid books with the Hugo, because by and large they just weren't very good.  It wasn't until I started reading the blogs of other writers that I found out why - they had been taken over by the gatekeepers of the Left, and like all things Leftist controlled, had been put to task pushing their message rather than their primary function, which was rewarding the best writers.

Leftist agitprop disguised as Science Fiction isn't very good.  It never will be.

So I'm quite pleased to see the writers that are on this year's ballot.  While I've already purchased many of the books that were nominated, if one of them I don't own wins the Hugo I may actually purchase another Hugo Award-winning book again!

Easter

He is Risen.

If anyone was experiencing a re-direct

Or seeing "vindicosuite.com" show up on their browser, that was SiteMeter being stupid.  It's removed.

Perfect

Obama as the shoe-shine boy for the perverts of Iran?  Yep.  That about sums it up.

Driving back into LA county

With the fetid smell of smog and pollution from this crap-covered cesspool filling my nostrils, I just kept telling myself that in a few months, I'll be leaving for good.  And I'll never, ever have to come back.

Ragin' Dave's Quote of the Day, What Is A Right edition

This Comment, over at Instapundit, on the subject of whether or not corporations have Rights:

But the one piece that keeps getting left out is: "Ok, assume they're -not- like people, now what protections does the Bill of Rights offer them, and how would you like it?" 

The New York Times without Freedom of Press?Random church without Freedom of Religion?Random protest organization without Freedom of Assembly?Force Boeing to quarter the Air Force at their airfields? 

Due process? Trials? 

If you make the assumption that corporations don't have 'basically the same rights', then you've successfully flat gutted the Bill of Rights, top to bottom. And, shockingly, Leftists appear to be just fine with most of that knowing that their pet projects would be either exempted or exonerated.

What we have here is Logic.  Hard truth, as it were.

There's a reason you put Onion and Garlic into soup when you're sick.

Because it helps kill germs.

A 1,000-year-old treatment for eye infections could hold the key to killing antibiotic-resistant superbugs, experts have said. 

Scientists recreated a 9th Century Anglo-Saxon remedy using onion, garlic and part of a cow's stomach. 

They were "astonished" to find it almost completely wiped out methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, otherwise known as MRSA.

Although it looks like I need to add some wine to my diet when I get sick.  Oh, the horror.

There was supposed to be content here

But...  um....  the dog ate it.

Is the USA still going to hell in a handbasket?

But, like... DUDE!

Pot's natural, man!

Yeah, so's arsenic.  Your point?

Look....  it's not really all that hard.  Just observe the average long-term pot-smoker against those who don't.  It's like observing a long-term alcoholic.  They are reduced to their addiction.

"But Dude, pot's not addictive!"

So you're smoking it every single day why?

Busy today

Cleaning.  Cooking dinner.  Taking care of the Mrs.  And dealing with some shit that a family from our church is going through.

I really wish more problems could be solved with a hammer.  It would make it more fun for the problem solvers.

A 10 pound sledge ought to do the trick.

OK, OK...

So I didn't post anything yesterday.  Sue me.  I'll pay back my salary.

A $300,000 "relocation" bonus

That's what one woman got to move from Washington DC to Philadelphia.  To run the VA office in Philly.

Three.  Hundred.  THOUSAND.  Dollars.

Is Philly such a shithole that people need that much money to move there?  Or is this just another case of the government making the elites rich off the taxpayer dollars?

And no matter which answer it is, can we just find the people responsible and have them tarred and feathered?

Ragin' Dave's Quote of the Day, Yemen Edition

From Andy at Ace of Spades HQ:

Sooooo, about that "Yemen is a great example of Obama's Middle East policy" thing ... I agree!

Yup.  I agree as well.

So Obama traded FIVE terrorist leaders for a deserter

Yep.  And the families of those lost while trying to find Bergdahl after he deserted still suffer to this day.

Again - just assume that every action taken by Obama is designed to damage and destroy this country, and you won't ever be wrong.

Gosh, who woulda thunk it?

Murderer of four people in NC was a Obama DREAMer.  Also, a known gang member and dope-head.

Sometimes it's real easy, folks.  Just assume that every action Obama takes is done to damage and destroy the United States of America, and you won't ever be wrong.

Shitty day today

But tomorrow is going to make today feel like a fucking spa day.

That's what the sidebar is there for, folks.

For those who think Jesus was a socialist

Here's a little truth for ya.

The question about Jesus and socialism is loaded from the get-go, and for a reason.  No one ever really recognizes that reason; perhaps not even those who seek to answer the very question themselves with their articles.  This is, after all, the nature of progressive ideology– it lies beneath the surface under the shroud of empathy, driven by purity.  Like Bill De Blasio told New York City before he became its mayor, a progressive wave is “in their DNA”.  Except progressivism, like socialism, defies what is in a human being’s DNA and the proof is evidenced by the millions who have taken their last breaths prematurely because of it.  Progressivism might be present within human beings at times, but it comes in the form of a unique cancer that is not only malignant, but becomes contagious once it has metastasized.

Read it all.  I'm busy, so it's linky-love today.

Yeah, I've always liked this song

It's a bit over-done these days, but it still puts a chill up my spine.

Yep

But the Clintons have been criminals for decades.  They won't change.  Ever.  Hell, they got Sandy Bergler to destroy national archives and didn't even get so much as a slap on the wrist.

More Runnin'

So, did everyone have a good St. Patrick's Day?

I came home from work so pissed off that I couldn't even get drunk.

On the subject of "White Privilege"

I stayed clean and sober while other people got high.  I finished high school despite hating that hellhole more than anyone could ever possibly imagine.  I continue to learn every single day that I'm alive.  I enlisted in the Army and started at the bottom, then worked my way up.  I had a few detours along the way.  I was able to buy land because I had the fiscal responsibility to save up and pay for it.  I have never, ever bought a New Car.  I didn't have any kids out of wedlock.

I am where I am today because of the choices I've made, not because of the color of my skin.  I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth.  The one outstanding difference between myself and many of my peers is that my parents are still together, but that has to do with their faith, not their skin color.

Let's not even get into the fact that I'm not "white".  I'm a hodge-podge of various bloodlines that comes out more of a light tan when I'm up North, to a brown/tan that had people in Puerto Rico thinking I was a native when I'm anywhere down South.  But I don't have the politically correct versions of skin color, so they call me "White".

So all you people of different skin color who get high, get drunk, get stoned, get tweaked, go to clubs every night, always have the newest phone, always have a fancy car, spend $200 on a pair of sunglasses, have to have the latest fashions, who wants to "axe" me a question, who has multiple kids with multiple women (or multiple "baby daddies"), and who want to accuse me of "White Privilege"...

Go fuck yourself.  You're poor because you're stupid, lazy and undisciplined, not because you're black/brown/yellow/tan/some other color.  You are poor and in jail because you stupidly think jail time will bring you some "street cred".  You are poor and living in government housing because you're too lazy to finish high school and too lazy to gain any kind of skills that might help get you out of being Uncle Sam's little bitch.  You are broke because you're paying all your money to the five different women who you banged while you were stoned as fuck, or drunk as hell, and now you're paying for kids who you never see and don't care about that the government is probably paying for.  You are poor because you never bothered to learn anything from your twelve years of free education, and employers don't want an employee who can't read, can't write, speaks with some sort of fucked-up dialect that can only be understood by other ignorant fucksticks, and who has an attitude problem the size of Alaska.

In short, fuck you, fuck your "white privilege", and fuck anyone who thinks they can accuse me of having "white privilege" without me laughing in their face and calling them what they are:  A stupid, ignorant, lazy pimple on America's ass.  Work as hard as me, you can be as successful as me.  Sit back on your lazy ass while you smoke weed and bitch about how "The Man" is keeping you down?  Then you're going to be poor, ignorant and lazy until you change.

Deal with it.

Always runnin'

Always runnin' behind.

Busy day today.  Sorry for the lack of blogging.

Reality bites Seattle in the ass

As restaurants start shutting down in advance of the $15 minimum wage.

For those who haven't worked in food service at all, lemme lay down a little knowledge for you.  In a restaurant, a 3% profit margin is GOOD.  If you start making a 5% profit margin, you might get audited because that's rather rare.

Now increase your personnel costs by 50%.  Guess what happens?  Your profit margins go into the negatives, and a negative profit margin means shutting down.  It's no surprise that restaurant owners are choosing to shut down now, rather than when they're thousands of dollars in the red.  They can see what's coming.

And while people look at the map and think the entire area around the Puget Sound is "Seattle", the truth is that there are plenty of other towns and cities all around Seattle that don't have to suffer under the kind of idiocy that Seattle does.  And guess where those businesses are going to go?

Of course, they might not go anywhere at all.  They might just leave permanently and decide that they no longer want to do business in an area run by greedy socialists who have no clue how an economy works.  That's what I would do, after all.  And I guarantee you that I'm not going to do a single bit of business within Seattle boundaries if I can help it, because the cost on me is going to skyrocket.  Why should I waste my money in Seattle when I can go thirty miles and do business in a sane area for much less cost?

The one good thing to come out of this is that people all over the country can point at Seattle and say "Well, there's the end result of what you want to do, and I for one refuse to allow you to do that to my town."

Bottling

Helped a friend bottle up four cases of a hibiscus mead tonight.

There will come a day when I'm retired and in my forever home, and I'm going to make damn sure that the set-up I have will allow me to bottle four cases with ease.  Because dammit, this doing everything by hand is for the birds.  But I'm not going to set up a bottling line just to tear it down every three years and move it.

Two cops were shot in Ferguson, MO

I wish the cops would just walk away, and not come back to their jobs the next day.  

They won't do that, of course.  But I wish they would.

How many times have people said that the cops are essentially an extension of the public's will?  If the public doesn't want them there, then they should leave.

Just walk away.

I figure that would last about a week before the National Guard is called in to police the wreckage of what used to be a city.  For all the hell that people have thrown at the police in Ferguson, they're the first one to get blamed if anything goes wrong, while all the supporters of Michael Brown, the dope-smoking thug who roughed up a store owner and then assaulted a cop, continue to spew their lies and incite violence without any repercussions.

Screw.  That.

I'd just walk away and let the animals destroy their town.  

Leadership

One of the essences of leadership is the ability to see what talents your people have, and then put them to the best use.

The antithesis of this is saying "Oh, well you're just a ______, so you can't do that.  You can only do this."

Folks, if you have a person who's an introvert, putting them into a job that requires talking to people every single day is going to wring them out.

Likewise, if you have someone who can talk to almost anybody and who enjoys interacting with people, putting them behind a keyboard and telling them that their job is to do the typing and nothing else, they are going to hate their job from the word go.

You figure out what your people can do, and then do your best to lay out plans and procedures that let your people work for you to accomplish the mission.

One day soon, I'll be in a unit with Leadership.

Dealing with some curveballs

And a few knuckleballs that life keeps throwing at me.  Blogging may be light for a bit.

Dear Planet Fitness

When you decide to cozy up to sexual aberrant people rather than the vast majority of your customer base, you no longer deserve to have a customer base.

Here's the man who wants to change in the women's restroom.  Take a gander.  Feel the insanity.

I don't think any woman should be forced to be in the same room with that male.  Period.

Leader of the Free World

The sad part is, I don't know if the USA deserves a leader like Netanyahu.

Every single media talking head who is trying to brush Hillary's email crimes under the rug needs to be run down and hounded into leaving journalism forever.

They don't feel any shame, since they haven't actually been "journalists" for decades now.  So we can't shame them.  We simply have to make it impossible for them to do their jobs without conservatives pointing out that they are nothing but dishonest political hacks who cannot be trusted to tell the truth.  Period.

Milestones

So, tomorrow I re-enlist for the last time.  Ever.  This is the big Indefinite.

Holy moly.

Had you told me twenty years ago that this was going to happen, I would have laughed in your face.

Saw it on Twitter

The Leader of the Free World is preparing for his speech before Congress.

Obama, on the other hand, is sulking and throwing a pissy-fit before going out golfing.

Whereupon I get cruel

A not-so-young lady writes in The Guardian about how middle-aged men only look at younger women, and laments about how middle aged women such as herself are put out to pasture.

I spoke to my friend Jack about this. 

“Men online are the same,” I told him. “They say they’re after true love but really what they’re after is the 25-year-olds.” 

“Maybe they think they can have both,” Jack said. 

“You’re not like that, though, are you? Given a choice, you’d pick the older, more interesting woman, the passionate, well-read, intrepid, low-maintenance woman.” 

“Nice of you to think so,” Jack said. “But I’d go for the firm arse and tits, always, without question.”

This is what modern feminism has wrought, ladies and gentlemen.  By stipulation that women are just like men, and women need to be treated just like men, we now treat you...

Just like men.

And that means, ladies, that you need to bring something to the table.  Something that we don't have. And that's a firm arse and tits.  Because a modern woman in middle age just doesn't bring much to the table with them, other than baggage and someone else's children.  And quite frankly, by the time men hit middle age, we're done dealing with other people's problems for the most part.  We don't need you and your emotional baggage and kids from some other guy that we're supposed to be a father to.

Now, and old fashioned woman who can turn a house into a home?  Who can be there to support a man when he brings home the bacon?  That's another story entirely, isn't it?

Now, for those who want to come in and screech "Well what do middle aged men bring to the table?" Start with the fact that most middle-aged men are actually in the peak of their earning years.  They're risen high enough to make good money, but they're not so old that they've got one foot out the door.  Most of them have the ability to support that young, hot thing on their arm in a rather comfortable fashion.

Thems the facts, folks.

Come see the Left's idea of "fair".

"Bonuses" and "Penalties" on test scores.  It's not enough to try to lift up one group, they have to punish another for the sin of doing well.

Lee’s next slide shows three columns of numbers from a Princeton University study that tried to measure how race and ethnicity affect admissions by using SAT scores as a benchmark. It uses the term “bonus” to describe how many extra SAT points an applicant’s race is worth. She points to the first column. African Americans received a “bonus” of 230 points, Lee says. 

She points to the second column. “Hispanics received a bonus of 185 points.” 

The last column draws gasps. Asian Americans, Lee says, are penalized by 50 points — in other words, they had to do that much better to win admission. “Do Asians need higher test scores? Is it harder for Asians to get into college? The answer is yes,” Lee says. 

“Zenme keyi,” one mother hisses in Chinese. How can this be possible?

Socialism is based on envy.  Envy is a deep rooted sin, and as someone else wiser than me pointed out a while ago, it is the only one of the Seven Deadly Sins that doesn't give you any kind of gratification back.  It's a thorn-bush that tears out your heart.

And in their envious ways, the Left attacks the people for DOING WELL ON A TEST.  And so it goes with all envious groups.

A person consumed with envy cannot be happy while someone else achieves success.  A person consumed with envy will tear down other people in order to make themselves feel better.  A person consumed with envy will tear down everyone and make sure everyone is miserable rather than rejoice in someone's success.

This is the sin that Leftists base much of their actions on, and it never, ever bears good fruit.

Dear Mark Salter

Go the fuck away.  You are a loser of the highest order.  The only benefit your advice serves is to do the exact opposite.

Don't go away mad.  Just go away.

How do you stay sane in a crazy world?

I'm looking around at the world today, and I really don't know what to make of it.

The President of the United States offers comfort to Islamic Terrorists while denigrating Christianity.

An unelected body of bureaucrats imposes gun control by regulatory fiat while our so called "representatives" do nothing.

The IRS actively targets conservatives.  Other than hearings full of sound and fury, there's no reaction.

All the while the people elected to put a stop to it put John Boehner, the Weepy Orange, and Mitch McConnell, the Turtle-Faced Turd, in charge of the opposition party and they immediately spend their time stabbing their voters in the back and giving blow-jobs to K-Street lobbyists.

And all the while they try to call people like me a bunch of crazy terrorists.

I'm not crazy.  And I'm not alone.

What I am is pissed off.

Obama to ban bullets by Executive Order

Don't you wish we had GOP leadership that wasn't such a bunch of craven, gutless Quisling shitheels?

I mean, when I see the President imposing de-facto gun control via executive order, the last people I want on my side are a weeping orange and a turtle-faced turd.  But that's who we've got.

Fuck.  We're screwed.

There are days

When I'm so sick of looking at a computer at work that I don't want to turn my laptop on once I get home.

Today is one of those days.

It's just more evidence

That Johnathan Gruber, the architect of Obamacare, is a sleezy, money-grubbing statist piece of shit.   But if you didn't already know that by now, you're in trouble, really.

In a 54-page memo, Vermont State Auditor Doug Hoffer confirms that embattled Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber overbilled the state in invoices he submitted for work Gruber claims was performed by research assistants.

OH REALLY NOW.  The guy who bragged about lying to Americans to get Obamacare passed got caught...  LYING?

Sheesh.

Gruber is a cancer on America that needs a good dose of chemotherapy.

Imagine the howls of outrage

If a prominent white, male author went around saying that you should stop reading books written by black females.

That's be racist and sexist, wouldn't it?

Well then, so is demanding that people stop reading books written by white males.

Luckily, Larry Correia fisks, so I don't have to.

Oh, and go look at the picture.  Here's a little hint for the racist turd who hates white men:  Maybe if you took care of yourself and didn't look like an ogre, you wouldn't have a problem with men, knowhatimsaying?

Yeah, that was rude.  I don't care right now.

Hey....

Was there some movie thingy last night?

Did a movie win?  Yay movies!

Blah

The last time I was taken down this damn hard by an illness is when I had pneumonia.  I slept for over 12 hours last night.  This is starting to get ridiculous.

blarg

So now that the anti-biotics have kicked in, my body is expelling all the dead crap that's in my lungs.

It's cough-fest at the Ragin' House.  I've got one hell of a headache from it.

My, that's refreshing

When a four-star flag officer (retired) comes out and says what most right-thinking people already know.

“The Obama administration has a strategy. It is very simple. Any thinking American should be able to grasp it. It’s anti-American, anti-Western, it’s pro-Islamic, pro-Iranian, and pro-Muslim Brotherhood,” he said last week at a conference hosted by the conservative Center for Security Policy where he heads the military committee. 

Lyons, in the Navy for 36 years and a critic of Obama, said the nation has to come to “grips” with Islam as something other than a religion. “Until you recognize that Islam is the political movement masquerading as a religion, you’re never going to come to grips with it,” he said at the conference titled the "Defeat Jihad Summit."

Along with Rudy Giuliani attacking the Teleprompter Jesus and the Democrat Media Complex in full, freak-out panic damage control mode, this might end up being an interesting weekend for news.

Important to remember. Giuliani is a private citizen with zero legislative power. He expressed an opinion. Look what's happening to him

I rejoin the living

I've been working from home as much as I could.  Now I'm actually going in to the office.  Luckily I've stopped caughing up massive amounts of crud, so I should be OK.

Read it

There's a reason why every muslim country that didn't get colonized by Europe is a backwards, crime-ridden, tyrannical shithole.  Because of Islam.  Islam is a backwards political cult disguised as a religion.  Don't think for a moment that ISIS doesn't represent "true" Islam.  It does.  It represents Islam better than anything you could find in the world.

Went to the doc

Got a diagnosis of "Bacterial crud in the body from the waist up, more or less".

Z-pack.  Inhaler.  Cough medicine so strong it puts me down in fifteen minutes.

I can't wait to get out of this city.  I haven't been sick this often in years, and I'm pretty sure most of it is a reaction to the pollution that leads to infections.  As in, my body is so busy trying to repair the damage from the pollution that when some nasty bug or virus wanders in and puts its dirty boots on the sofa, my immune system can't do much more than shrug.

Dear Young People of Today

This is what voting for liberal politicians gets you.  Lower wages, less opportunity, more debt, less freedom.

Here is the key take-away from that chart, at least in my mind:

                                                         1980     2009-2013
Median Income (2013 dollars)      $35,845     $33,883

Take a look at that.  And realize that as this country has gotten more and more liberal, your opportunities have slipped further and further way.  Socialism eats its young in order to survive.

Think about this statement

And how true it is in the context of today's society.

When female prison guards have sex with male inmates, they’re the victims! But when male prison guards have sex with female inmates the inmates are the victims.

Think about how society today still deals with women and sex.  And how the Modern Feminists encourage that kind of treatment, where the women are always victims and men are always criminals.

Once you have grasped that truth, then you can begin to see it's rot on the rest of society.  And move to counter it.

DHS now demanding that DUI illegal aliens be let go

When truth is stranger than fiction.

Obtained by Judicial Watch this week, the notice is titled “Enforcement Options With Alcohol-Impaired Drivers” and directs the 4,000-plus U.S. Border Patrol agents in the Tucson, Arizona sector to “release” individuals under the influence and “allow them to go on their way.” The document acknowledges that this feels counter-intuitive for Border Patrol agents, but eases concerns by answering a hypothetical question for the officers who have sworn to uphold the law: “If you allow this driver to continue down the road and they kill someone, aren’t you liable?” The answer is no, according to the new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memo. “There is no legal requirement for a Border Patrol agent to intervene in a state crime, including DUI,” the order says, adding that “therefore there is generally no liability that will attach to the agent or agency for failing to act in this situation.”

Now, guess what happens if you're caught drinking and driving in the USA and you're a legal citizen?

Jail time?  Loss of license?  Massive fines?  Thousands of dollars in court costs?

But if you're a border-jumping wetback, you're HOME FREE, BABY!

Crap like this is why the average American no longer trusts the government to do even the basic things it's supposed to do.  Well, that and the crippling cronyism, incompetence and idiocy.

Still sick

Although better than yesterday.  "better" being a rather relative term.

Down for the count

Sick as a dog.  Lymph nodes the size of golf balls underneath my jawline.  Hacking and snorting out crap.

Luckily, I have a totally kick-ass wife who takes care of me when I get like this.  Fresh squeezed OJ.  Yum.

If I get a wild hair up my ass I'll describe what the snot-ball looks like after I hack it up.  "Oh, look at the green striations!"

Pick one.

Leftists cry "but, but COLLEGE DEGREE!" re @ScottWalker. Um, okay....Geo W Bush had a masters, but you think he was stupid. #PickAStance

"Cut your losses"?

Here's another article about how if your man doesn't give you what you want, just up and leave him.

Tomorrow night, at restaurants across the land, men will whip rings out of their pockets and try to find some vaguely original way of asking the woman across the table if she would like to spend the rest of their lives together raising children, choosing furniture and arguing about just how clean the bathroom vanity needs to be kept. At many other tables, women will be hoping for a proposal that doesn't come. If you are in that second group, I have some hard news for you: It's probably time to leave.

If there are any unmarried women who actually read this blog (and I don't know if there are, and I kind of doubt that there are, but just in case) let me lay out a bit of free advice:  Men need a damn good reason to pop the question.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:  Modern life, modern feminism, has changed women from something special, someONE special, into just another room-mate that you have sex with.  A friend with extended benefits.  Men take on almost all the risk in a marriage today.  If a divorce happens, women get the children over 90% of the time, even if the father is a more capable parent.  Wife cheats on husband and files for divorce?  Husband still has to pay alimony and child support, even if he was the wronged party.

Granted, that doesn't happen all the time.  But it happens enough.  And it's happened enough to all of us men or our friends, to the point where no, we're not going to just get married because getting married is the perfect way of getting screwed over for two decades or more even after the marriage is over.

So ladies, exactly what do YOU do that's so special that your man should marry you?  What do YOU do that sets you apart from every other woman out there?  If your answer is "Well, I have sex with him!" congratulations, you have the same qualifications as every other woman walking around that he could have sex with.  Your vagina doesn't make you special, because there's always another vagina.  And as a married man who has rebuked the women who attempted to seduce me despite the massive ring on my left hand, let me assure you that should a modern man want a vagina, there are plenty available at very low rates.

So what do you do to make a man marry you?  Try doing the one thing that modern women and modern feminism cannot and will not do.  Be an old fashioned Lady.  Offer to be the woman who makes his house a home.  Avoid falling into the trap of "oh we need two jobs so we can have the newest cars and the biggest house and the loudest phones and and and..."  See what happens when you turn back the clock, reject modern feminism, and just enjoy being a MAN and a WOMAN together.

I bet you'll be surprised.

Obama's War Request

Runs into people who apparently paid attention to how horribly he's run the war in Afghanistan.

Obama characterized the legislation, known as an authorization for use of military force (AUMF), as the product of “a sincere effort” to consult with both Republicans and Democrats. 

“I’m optimistic that it can win strong bipartisan support and that we can show our troops and the world that Americans are united in this mission,” Obama said. 

Yet that optimism seemed ill-founded given some of the comments about the AUMF from lawmakers. 

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he was concerned the bill did not “give our military commanders the flexibility and authorities they need to succeed and protect our people.” 

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said he would not “give consent to a measure that ties the hands of our military commanders or takes options off the table.”

Bingo.  Look at that last paragraph.  If you send in troops, you give them rules of engagement that let them win.  Obama won't do that.

The only reason Obama wants to send in troops in the first place is to make his surrender in Iraq look a little less worse than it already is.  He doesn't believe in the mission, and he certainly doesn't want our troops to win.  All he would accomplish is getting American troops killed for a mission he doesn't believe in.

That's just not a good enough reason to send in US Forces.

Prepper guide

So, for those who are interested, Patrice Lewis and her husband have set up a little e-book store, where they're selling their guides on simple living one-by-one.

Canning, milking, animal husbandry, etcetera.  If you've ever wanted to learn how to be more self-sufficient, it's a good place to start.

Pass me the smelling salts!

I think I'm going to need them!

San Francisco Archbishop Savatore Cordileone has stunned his archdiocese by revealing he is, in fact, Catholic.

The Archbishop is demanding that teachers in Catholic schools actually adhere to Catholic teachings.

Holy.  Moly.  What's next?  Will Bergolio actually revere the Mass?

Told ya!

Eggs are good for you!

The nation’s top nutrition advisory panel has decided to drop its caution about eating cholesterol-laden food, a move that could undo almost 40 years of government warnings about its consumption. 

The group’s finding that cholesterol in the diet need no longer be considered a “nutrient of concern” stands in contrast to the committee’s findings five years ago, the last time it convened. During those proceedings, as in previous years, the panel deemed the issue of excess cholesterol in the American diet a public health concern.

Did you know your body produces it's own cholesterol?  I have a co-worker who eats just about as clean a diet as you can possibly eat.  We're talking less than 1500 calories a day, most of it in fruits and veggies.  He has high cholesterol because it's just in his genetics.  If he followed government dietary guidelines he'd be in even worse shape, but that's a story for another day.

The whole point is that the people who suddenly told you to change the way you ate (More carbs!  More carbs!  Less protein!) are full of BS.  First of all, everyone needs a different ratio of carbs to protein to veggies.  Second of all, you need some fat in your diet.

I'm waiting for another study to come out showing that red meat is good for you.

Obama and his cronies fuck another Soldier

An Army Officer recently had his Silver Star yanked away by a bunch of cowards and tools.

The investigation, apparently, had nothing to do with the acts of bravery that earned Golsteyn his medal. Instead, according to the Washington Post, which cited officials familiar with the case, it concerned “an undisclosed violation of the military’s rules of engagement in combat for killing a known enemy fighter and bomb maker.” The investigation stretched on for nearly two years, during which time the Army effectively put Golsteyn’s career on ice. In 2014, Golsteyn and his lawyer were informed that the investigation was finally complete. No charges were filed, but Golsteyn still wasn’t released from administrative limbo. 

Alerted about the controversy by another Army officer, Captain Will Swenson, Congressman Duncan Hunter wrote last year to John McHugh, the secretary of the Army, asking about the status of Golsteyn’s seemingly endless career freeze. Apparently the secretary did not take kindly to the inquiry, as he responded in a letter last November that not only would he not be upgrading Golsteyn’s Silver Star to a Distinguished Service Cross, but would be revoking Golsteyn’s Silver Star entirely, a fact that Hunter revealed publicly in an article for the Daily Beast published on Tuesday.

Crap like this just proves yet again that Obama is unfit to hold his office, and the position of Commander in Chief with it.  And crap like this is why I will never forgive the anti-American Left, the Progressive National Socialists, for continuing to support this buffoon, this narcissistic incompetent asshole, this malignant cancer on America.

Such is the quality of American military leadership that generals and political appointees like McHugh will send courageous soldiers like Golsteyn into incredibly difficult (some would suggest impossible) circumstances, then invest years in second-guessing their actions after the fact—and then, finding no evidence of wrongdoing, still publicly dishonor the man without giving him a chance to defend himself. 

Obama and his regime do not deserve the military they were handed.  They don't deserve to brush the dirt off of our boots.  Fuck Obama, fuck John McHugh, and fuck every worthless piece of shit to put them in office.

Screwing with Military pensions

Megan McArdle talks military pensions, and focuses on the Commissioned side of the house.  Which isn't a bad thing, per se.  I agree with what she's saying, but I think she's missing the point.

If you want people to stay in a system where their lives are at risk, where they are governed in what they can or cannot say politically, if they must suffer under leadership both good and bad and deal with both in the same manner, to live a life where most every aspect of their lives is governed by some regulation, you're going to have to provide more than a 401k.

Try to foist off a civilian retirement on me, I'm going to act like a civilian.  Which means that the next time some toxic leader tries to go off on me for cleaning up his screw-up, I'm going to tell him to go fuck himself.  What the hell do I care?  I'm getting my 401k!

"Soldier, take that hill!"

"Fuck you, I'm outta here!  I don't need a 401k!"

Military pensions are different from civilian retirement because the military life is different from civilian life.  The military gives up a hell of a lot, and many of them stay in because of that retirement.  Remove that incentive, and you remove the incentive for good people to stay in the military.

Which, in hind-sight, might be why Obama wants to do this so badly.

"Asian"

Oh those wacky "asians", doing all kinds of naughty things in the Formerly Great country of Britain.

Of course, by "asian" they mean "Muslim", mostly from Pakistan.  But they're too scared and cowardly to say the word "Muslim", so they bundle them up under the generic term of "Asian".

I think it's very unfair to lump the Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans, Laos, Hmong, Indians and everyone else who doesn't worship a pedophile moon-god prophet in with the Muslims who have been sexually abusing thousands of women and children in "Great" Britain.  But until the politically correct idiots in charge of not-so "Great" Britain are removed from office, this is the kind of stupidity and drek that we can expect from them:

Almost all of the men in both cases are from Asian backgrounds, prompting police leading one of the cases to warn that far-Right groups may use the issue to stir up racial tension.

Please note that they are not worried about more children getting drugged, raped, and sold into sex slavery rings.  Oh no, they are worried about "far-right groups" who may stir up "racial tension".  All those little girls getting raped by musloid pedophiles?  Yeah, that's OK to them, so long as nobody calls the police "racist" or anything.

This is why we have guns in America.  So that any moon-god worshipping pedophiles who touch my kids would never made it INTO the justice system.  And the coyotes are well fed.

Crap like this

Is why I don't find the Jesuits to be worth a squirt of piss in a windstorm.

If you ask anyone in the education community, (particularly the teachers unions) the tenure system is a vital part of the American education complex, both in public schools and colleges or universities. But Marquette University is proving that there are exceptions to every rule, moving to dismiss Professor John McAdams from his position, even though he is a long time educator with tenure. That must have been some seriously awful crime he committed to have the bosses show him the door. Did he engage in sexual activity with a student? Steal university funds? Go on a killing spree? 

No, he wrote a blog post criticizing a graduate instructor who allegedly shut down a classroom debate when one of the undergraduate students voiceed objections to gay marriage.

The professor didn't object to gay marriage, he objected to another professor shutting down debate in a classroom and wrote a blog post about it.  For that he was fired.

Marquette is a Jesuit university.

Add to all of this the fact that Pope Francis, the most idiotic, Marxist, PC pope to sit in Rome since, well, ever, is a Jesuit as well.

The Jesuits were supposed to be intellectual "shock troops" for lack of a better term.  They have become a mockery of everything they were supposed to defend.  They were tasked with teaching the doctrine of the church.  They have become a nest of vipers and traitors.  They are the perfect example of why the Catholic Church is dying in America.  They don't believe what they used to teach.  They have turned their faces away from the Church and focused instead on the rewards of this world.

So be it.  They will earn their reward, in this world, and they have more than earned their punishment in the next.

Gonna go get my eyes checked

Maybe get me some of that there LASIK surgery, so's I ain't gotta wear glasses no more.

We all could tell Gruber was a dictator-in-waiting

So crap like this is no surprise.

Jonathan Gruber, long credited as the architect of ObamaCare, once discussed the necessity of taxing fat people by body weight in order to fight obesity. 

“Ultimately, what may be needed to address the obesity problem are direct taxes on body weight,” Gruber wrote in an essay for the National Institute for Health Care Management in April 2010, just months after helping design ObamaCare with the president in the Oval Office and during the period in which he was under contract as an Obama administration consultant.

That's the thing about tyrants - they never stop ruling your life.  From top to bottom, the ProgNazis want to tell you what to do, how to act, who to be, what to wear, what to eat, where to live, HOW to live.

Now, if that doesn't scare you, then consider the fact that if the government starts taxing body weight, it uses a Body Mass Index that considered Michael Jordan to be "obese" during his playing days.

Dude had maybe 10% body fat on him, max.  Ran up and down a court every night.  And because he had enough muscle on his frame to withstand playing the game, the government considered him "obese".

And Gruber wants to tax "obese" people.

Just another idea brought to you by the Democrat American Communist Party!

ISIS got used to Obama

And somehow forgot that there are leaders out there who aren't a bunch of spineless pussies.

"He's angry," Hunter said of King Abdullah. "They're starting more sorties tomorrow than they've ever had. They're starting tomorrow. And he said, 'The only problem we're going to have is running out of fuel and bullets.'" 

"He's ready to get it on," Hunter added. "He really is. It reminded me of how we were after 9/11. We were ready to give it to them." 

Hunter said there was no mention of President Obama during the bipartisan meeting, either by King Abdullah or by any of the lawmakers in the room.

Well, at least SOMEONE is doing something about the terrorist assholes.

Reality hits a ProgNazi, they remain ignorant

But at least they're unemployed and ignorant.  Which makes me feel a little bit better, and can be used as a teaching example to folks who aren't so indoctrinated.

An independent San Francisco bookstore says it will be closing its doors by March 31, despite having its best year ever in 2014. And it’s pointing at San Francisco’s newly enacted minimum wage law as the reason.

Here's where I say they're still as ignorant and indoctrinated as a fat pig in a sty:

“Although all of us at Borderlands support the concept of a living wage in principal and we believe that it's possible that the new law will be good for San Francisco -- Borderlands Books as it exists is not a financially viable business if subject to that minimum wage.” 

San Francisco voters easily approved a measure last November that would lift the city’s minimum wage from $10.74 to $12.25 an hour as of May and then gradually raise it to $15 an hour by July 2018. That hourly wage works out to a minimum salary of $31,000 a year for a full-time worker.

And there we go, folks.  Although now that they're going to be unemployed, they'll have more time for their communing class, or their protest against cis-male hetro-normative patriarchy or whatever the hell liberal losers do when they're unemployed and not too high to move.

I don't like Jeb Bush.

I think he's on the wrong side of a whoooooole lot of issues.  But it needs to be pointed out once again that the same media who refuse to investigate Obama's dealings with an unrepentant domestic terrorist named Bill Ayers, the same media who refuses to investigate Obama's connection to fraudster Tony Rezko, the same media who blindly accepts lie after lie after lie out of Obama's mouth and can't be bothered to actually do any kind of research or journalism, as found out that...

Jeb was a bully in high school.

Well, that's only if you consider the recanted testimony, the baseless allegations, and the blatant lies.

So no, Jeb wasn't really a bully in high school.  But the media is so desperate to sling any kind of mud at him that they'll stoop to this level.

Really, they've been at this level for years, they're just now incapable of rising past this level even if they had the desire, which they don't.

Read the whole thing.  And then sit back and process the fact that Jeb Bush is likely the most liberal candidate the GOP could put forward who has an actual chance of winning.  And the media is already attacking him like starving dogs on a bone.

Fight back in every way you can.

*tap*tap*

*cough*

Is this thing on?

It IS?  Oh crap, I'd better type something....

Well, crap

That didn't turn out quite like I wanted, did it?

Super Bowl today

My Seakhaws against my brother's Patriots.  Should be a good game.  I'm a little nervous about this one; we got some injuries racking up, and I don't know if the 'Hawks are going to be at full strength or not.

You can trust that I'll be yelling at the team the whole game anyway.
