McCain(D) picks VP Sara Palin(R)

The more I think about Biden

The more I realize that the Lord Messiah Barak Hussien Obama is even more clueless than I thought.

He just gave John McCain the best shot at victory as McCain has seen this year. Short of picking Bela Pelosi as his running mate, all McCain has to do is stand on stage and ask America "Are you really going to elect THAT?!?!?!"

Flyin'

I'm heading back home today. Michael, I'm sorry we couldn't get together for a beer. I'm pretty sure I'll be back in the area some time next year, so we'll just have to take a rain check.

Still, I'll be glad to be out of the city and back in the country. I never realized just how much I missed rural living until I was back in the country of Wisconsin.

Pot use and the Democrat Party

So, I guess in Denver you can have an ounce of marijuana and not get arrested. That explains a lot about the DNC Convention this year, doesn't it?

(Yeah, I know that according to Denver state laws it's still illegal, but I'm just being snarky today.)

Here's another thought

Did anyone else other than me see the movie The Second Civil War? Phil Hartman plays a complete idiot of a President and goes about the movie making blunders after blunder every time he's on screen. Joe Biden reminds me of the President in that movie. Clueless, ineffectual, a smarmy blabbermouth, worthless. A politician who is all sizzle and no steak.

I'm trying to find the video clip of Biden saying that you can't walk into a convenience store without a slight Indian accent. You watch that video, and then you watch Phil Hartman playing the dipshit, and compare the two. THEY ARE IDENTICAL! The voice, the facial expressions, the clear lack of intelligence shown by both men (although Hartman was only acting stupid), they are identical.

Trust me on this. It would be a perfect political ad. Well, it would if anyone else other than myself had actually watched the movie.

Here's a thought

And you can tell me if this is a little crazy, but what of Obama picked Biden as a way to present a target that wasn't himself? I mean, you have Biden, a career politician, a walking gaffe machine, a guy who embodies everything that is wrong with politics in general and the Democrat American Communist Party specifically.

In short, he's the perfect target.

What if that's the point? I mean, Obama sits back and lets Biden get pounded, while all the while he pounds on McCain, and in the end it doesn't matter what Obama stands for because NOBODY CAN REMEMBER WHAT THE HELL HE SAID. Because all the attention was on Biden.

Or maybe I just had one drink too many.

Obama picks Biden

So the Lord Messiah Barak Hussien Obama, the holy purveyor of Changy-Hopiness, picks a lifetime politician who has been in office since BEFORE I WAS EVEN BORN. If you want a picture perfect example of the corrupt status-quo, Biden is an excellent example. Not the only example of course, but a damn good one.

I suppose if you wanted to attract the coastal liberal elites, Biden is a great pick. If you wanted to attract voters from the Midwest, the South and Western states, you couldn't have picked a worse candidate for VP. Right now as the ticket stands, the candidate for President is a done-nothing neophyte from the Chicago political machine who stands for some vague concepts but nothing specific, and the candidate for VP is a career politician from the Northeast who's known for verbal gaffes and plagiarism.

I'm a little underwhelmed.

This will be an interesting election season.

A question

And Michael, you might be able to answer this -

Is it pronounced DEE-troit or De-TROIT?

Again with the anti-Flag nonsense?

Hey, what's that smell?

Does anyone else get the feeling that the Democrat America Communist Party rank and file have finally waken up to the fact that they've been handed a shit sandwich in terms of a Presidential nominee?

Granted, we conservatives also know that we have been handed a shit sandwich. We just knew it a long time ago.

Learn English, dumbass!

No, this isn't directed at those open-borders assholes who march up and down screaming "SI SE PUEDE!" This is directed at people who try to argue with myself or anyone else in print, and can't even bother to spell simple words correctly.

Now, I'm not talking about a few spelling errors here. I think that everyone who has typed up a document has made a few of those. Maybe put a comma where a period should have gone. Used a colon for a semicolon. Fine, those I can deal with. What I cannot deal with is crap like this:

u r a tool you don't now what ur talking about

Look, I get it - you're a spastic teenage twit who has never cracked open a book that didn't have pop-up pages. But if you're going to call me a tool, could you PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD try not to look like some ignorant, uneducated, worthless waste of time, space, and oxygen? Oh, and claiming to have a college degree while you write crap like that? Sorry, I was born at night but it wasn't last night.

You know what worries me? This brainless jughead is going to VOTE! He knows nothing about how this country works, why it was founded, the ideals behind it and the people that made it all happen. And yet he's going to be part of that great idiotic mass that votes for The Lord Messiah Barak Hussien Obama, and do his best to flush this country down the toilet.

I need more ammo.

UPDATE: Darling Wachel Wucas has another wonderful example of this sort of person.

The Army and Money

Let me give you a little back brief here, OK? As anyone who reads me on a regular basis (all ten of you, and I love yous guys!) know, I recently PCSed to a new station. And as anyone who has moved knows, moving takes money. Quite a bit of it in fact.

So, we have the PCS. The subsequent drive from my Home of Record to my new unit. Finding a house. Renting a house while we search for a house to buy. All of which takes money. Lots and lots of money. The wife and I had a darn good amount of cash stored in savings, but much of it was used. Not a problem, that's what it was there for, and we'll be getting some of it back from travel vouchers but that won't be for another month and a half or so. DFAS is swamped, so most vouchers take one to two months to process. Still not a big deal, or a big worry.

And now I go TDY. I have a 200 mile drive, followed by a plane trip to Detroit. I return on Sunday, pick up my truck and drive 200 miles back to my station. NOW we're getting into the big deal, because quite frankly I don't have the money to be buying plane tickets right now, yannow? But wait, the Army issues Government Travel Cards, credit cards to be used by government employees just for this purpose! Great! And I have one of those wonderful Government Travel Cards!

Which has bitten me in the ass every last time I used it. And it's biting me in the ass now. Somehow, the damn thing never got activated for this particular TDY. Yep, you have to activate it every last damn time you use the worthless fucking thing, and so now I'm sitting in Minnesota with little personal cash in my account, and a GTC which I'm forced to use that hasn't been activated! So I get to pull some of the remaining cash out of my savings to cover my lodging and food! ONCE AGAIN, I AM USING MY PERSONAL MONEY FOR ARMY BUSINESS, AND I AM GETTING RATHER TIRED OF IT! The last time I used the card, I had to wait two damn months for the card to get paid, and I was getting nasty-grams from the Bank of America, a thoroughly shitty bank that I strongly urge that nobody EVER use, and now even though I have a $200 credit on the card I can't use it because some dipshit up higher decided that it wasn't going to get activated!

I'm so pissed off I'm spitting nails.

At least the bank approved the loan for the house. And my wife still loves me. So does my dog. So, I have that.

More government thuggery.

Kevin Baker has a couple of posts up about the wonderful job that the gummint, both local and federal, are doing to protect us from..... well, SOMETHING obviously, because they seem to be very serious about doing their job.

Sending storm-troopers into a guys house because he bought handgun ammo? Yep.

Confiscating supplies and notes from the house of a do-it-yourself chemist even though he hasn't broken any laws? Yep.

As Ronald Reagan said years ago, "The scariest words in the English language are 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help'" Add the two examples abover to the Idaho man who was jailed by a petty tyrant because he had the audacity to follow the rules and laws of where he lived. At which point do we as citizens start to lock and load? How about we start just shutting our doors in the faces of the thugs and storm-troopers sent by a government that more and more resembles the government we broke away from over two-hundred years ago? Re-issue the Declaration of Independence to the corrupt, blood-sucking shitheels in D.C. It's as valid today as it was back in 1776.

Government is the PROBLEM

It is almost never the solution. And it sure the hell ain't the solution here either.

Bid accepted

Paperwork signed. Bank loan OK'ed. Now we wait for the inspectors to do their job. And if all goes well, I'll be the owner of a house.

I'm scared witless right now. For everyone else who has their own home, did you feel like this when you bought your first house?

Scratch a Democrat

Find a dictator. The silencing of dissent via threats of violence and/or homicide does seem to be a hallmark of the Leftists, does it not?

When they call anyone on the Right a "fascist" or "thug", remember that it's just projection on the Leftist's behalf.

Drive-by blogging

I'm doing posting as I can, but obviously I'm not up to my normal standard. I apologize for that. Hell, I'm catching mistakes a day after the fact, once it's been posted for 24 hours. Kinda sucks. But, once I have internet on a regular basis things should go back to normal.

Problem is, I don't know when I'll have the internet on a regular basis. So there we are.

Well, yes..... but.......

Kim du Toit has a post up with links to articles detailing why America won't elect the Lord Messiah B. Hussien Obama. I'm not so sure.

1) The sheer idiocy of the liberal enclaves might swamp the boat, so to speak.
2) The Republican Stupid Party has just spent the better part of four years shitting all over their base of support.
3) John McCain is uninspiring to the point of boredom.

Any one of those three points is bad. But today, all three points are converging into a maelstrom of political suicide for this country. All we can do is keep showing how unfit B. Hussien Obama is to be President and hope for the best.

House hunting part Tres

Actually, the hunting as pretty much stopped, now that the bidding has commenced. We put in a bid on Friday. We still haven't heard back. That might be a bad thing, but on the other hand we didn't get a phone call of hysterical laughter from the sellers, so it might be that they're considering it.

The rental is an absolutely beautiful house. It's also about $30,000 more than we can afford to buy. So until we have OUR house in OUR name, we'll continue living there and fixing it up as we can. Nothing too expensive, but I can afford to put some elbow grease into making it better while I live there.

And coffee shops with Wi-Fi are my friend.

More evidence that the MSM is worthless

This time with the reference of John Edwards. How the NYT just flat out buried the story. How the story was out there, but the MSM refused to even check on it.

You cannot trust the MSM to tell you the truth. Actually, you can't trust the MSM to tell you anything that they do not personally and politically agree with. They are whores. Harlots. They are the cheap, tawdry tavern wench who has been bought and paid for to slip a mickey into your drink when you're not looking. They are scum. Worthless and pathetic, they have given up their mantel as "reporters" and have gone straight into political advocacy disguised as news. Any claim of objectivity from the MSM can be discarded as complete rubbish, and the credibility of any journalist can be assumed to be nil, zip, zilch, nada, non-existent.

I have to scan five different sources for a news story before I'll even begin to believe it. And unfortunately, I find myself looking at stories that don't make it very far and wondering "Did that die because it's false, or did that die because the MSM doesn't agree with the political angle?"

I wouldn't trust a "journalist" any farther than I could throw him.
