It's early

and I got nothing for ya today.  It's early and I haven't had enough coffee.

So now is time at Wackos where we show the photos!  Click for the bigger version.

It's the Indiana State Capitol shot at night from the War Memorial.  The entire thing was actually beautiful, and I wish I had better photographs of it.  I'll post what I do have tomorrow if I can find the time.  If you want to download this it's 4.7 MB.

I wish I'd said that

In reference to yet another black-robed tyrant in California shitting all over the people of that state -

"They're fishing with dynamite".

It's in the comment thread over at Patterico's.  And that's about it, isn't it?  Oh yeah, they'll get their fish all right, but they'll kill anything and everything around that fish as well.

Ladies and Gentlemen, you do not destroy a 2,500 year cornerstone of civilization without replacing it with something substantial and expect that everything will be alright.  Especially when the only reasoning you have is "b-b-b-b-but....  IT'S NOT FAIIIIIIIIIIIR!!"

FYI

Here's a list of all the brain-dead fucking idiots who voted for a bill titled "The ______ Act of _______".

Shock of all Shocks, it was voted along Party Lines.  Guess which party voted for it?

Long Weekend

Have to qualify.  Not going to be a problem, except for the fact that I loathe the tinker-toy they laughingly call a battle rifle.

That also means less bloggy goodness.  Sorry bout that, but them bills gots to be paid!



I suppose that when I say "I have to qualify", that means that I have to teach all the people who forgot which way to point the boom-stick since the last time they qualified to qualify, since that's what's going to be happening.  Don't get me wrong, I love instructing marksmanship, but I would prefer to teach folks who ENJOY shooting, not those who regard the M-16 as "that icky black thing I have to touch once a year".

B-b-b-b-but...

WHAT ABOUT THE CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILDREN?????

I had no idea that when the Democrat American Communist Party gave their union thug allies 26 billion dollars that they would be taking that money from food stamps!  Way to go, Commies!  I had no idea that they would be that stupid and that arrogant at the same time, although I shouldn't be surprised.

It's who they are.

Priorities

Let's see, the government wants to slash the military budget.

But the government wants to give twenty-six BILLION DOLLARS to the unions.

Do you know how much the military could do with twenty-six BILLION DOLLARS?  That's a twenty-six with nine zeros behind it, folks.  That's a lot of Soldiers and Marines and Sailors and Airmen that we could have, so that maybe our military could catch a break and not have to spend year after year after year sending the same units to the Middle East.

But the Democrat American Communist Party obviously cares more about their union thug allies than they do the military that they have a Constitutional requirement to provide.  It's all about priorities, I guess.

Yes, they are that stupid and corrupt

They can't even bother to name a bill before they vote for it.  No, I'm being serious.  I think that any Congresscriminal who voted for "The ______ Act of _______" should spend a year in jail.  At the very least, they wouldn't be able to vote for any un-named bills, and maybe we wouldn't have so much stupid shit happening in this country.

And again v.2

The Media is not your friend!  Non of the alphabet "news" agencies are anything more than the propaganda wing of the Democrat American Communist Party!

Because it can't be said enough

Barney Frank is a hypocritical piece of shit who needs to rot in jail.  He used Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as the personal piggie banks for the Democrat American Communist Party, stopped anyone from providing any kind of financial oversight, and when the whole thing came crashing down blamed Republicans for the results.

Barney Frank is the perfect example of why politicians should be hung from a lamp post immediately after their one and only term in office is finished.  That corrupt criminal has been ruining the American economy for years, and he'll continue to do so because Massachusetts elects the most corrupt pieces of shit I've ever seen.  John Kerry, anyone?  Teddy "the Swimmer" Kennedy, anyone?  Gah.

Dear White Trash Neighbors

Who live on my running route.  When you steal the child's shopping cart from Wal-Mart, and you bring it home so that you can fill it with crap and keep it on your front porch like a really bad toy-box, it might just behoove you to NOT place it so that everyone on the very busy street can tell that you stole said cart from Wal-Mart, as evidenced by the BIG HUGE "WAL-MART" IN WHITE LETTERS DOWN THE BLUE SHOPPING CART!

They probably voted for Obama, the pricks.  They seem to feel entitled to everyone else's stuff.  Sheesh.

Hey, I have an idea

Let's remove every last bit of military protection from Washington D.C. and see what happens.  And we can take Nancy Pelosi's military jet from her as well, the fucking hag.  Let her fly coach.  That way we can save hundreds of thousands of dollars on the military budget, and leave Virginia alone.

The worthless cockholsters won't cut a single bit of entitlement spending, but they'll slash the military budget just as fast as they possibly can.  It's all the Democrat American Communist Party know how to do.  They can't buy any more votes with the military budget, so they want to get rid of it.  They hate the military anyways, so cutting military numbers is a bonus for them.

Found at C&S.

Bingo

When you add it all up, it costs $74,000 to put $44,000 in Sally's pocket and to give her $12,000 in benefits. Bottom line: Governments impose a 33% surtax on Sally's job each year.

If you want to understand why businesses are hurting, it's because the government is raping them on a daily basis.  And as long as our Socialist Ruling Class continue to punish businesses for creating jobs, we won't be getting many of them.

It really is that simple.

On the Ground Zero Mosque

Ace has a good round up of links regarding said mosque.  I've been watching the spectacle from afar with something like amusement mixed with horror.  I knew that New Yorkers, as a whole, were a bunch of nitwits - how else do you keep re-electing a man who is nicknamed "Nanny Bloomberg" for his obsessive habit of controlling other people's lives - but I never expected them to be a bunch of gutless surrender monkeys willing to submit to medieval islamofacist barbarians, especially when you take September 11th into consideration.

Huh.  Tells you what I know, I guess.  I suppose that they could still rise up and push back against the mosque, which is being built for the sole purpose of showing Islam's victory over the Great Satan, but I don't see that happening.  I'd cheer if it did happen, and my opinion of New Yorkers would go up immeasurably if it did.  But I think that the few sane citizens of New York need to get the hell out just as fast as they can.

Sacrifice? v.2

You know, if Obama hadn't been talking about how we all need to sacrifice for the greater good, this wouldn't be nearly as bad for him as it is.  And you know what the sad part is?  Look at how much of their own money they're spending along with hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars for Michelle "Worfette" Obama's trip.  They're practically throwing money out the window of Air Force Two.

Now put that into this context:  They have never worked a job that didn't have a government paycheck.  They have never worked a job in the private sector.  Every cent they've taken in has first been paid out by a private taxpaying citizen.

And folks, the Obamas are fucking RICH.

Yeah, I vomited as well.

Here you go

Write this list down and keep it near you the next time some Leftist babbles about their "free" health care that Obama promised them.  I think I'm going to print it out and keep it at my desk.

Hypocrisy

In my job, one of the many tasks that we have to do is write contracts for certain commands and certain events.  There are a lot of laws that cover these contracts, one of them being the Joint Federal Travel Regulation.  Now, in the JFTR there is a provision that states quite clearly that we cannot purchase "refreshments" from hotels that we are contracting with, unless we meet several stipulations, none of which we even come close to meeting.  In fact, the JFTR is written in such a way that I wondered just who wrote it, and WHY they would write it the way they did.

Well, I just found out.

In just nine months spanning late 2009 and early 2010, the House spent $2.6 million on food and beverages for members and staff, according to the Sunlight Foundation's House Expenditure Reports Database. That figure includes $604,000 just for bottled water, showing that Congress is not just hungry but thirsty, too.

In a just world, we'd have an accounting from those greedy, corrupt shitweasels.  In this world, we're going to have to tar and feather them on our own.

Salt Lake City, UT

I lived there for a short while back in 1995.  Back then, you couldn't walk through a certain park downtown - Pioneer Park - without a strong possibility of getting shanked/mugged/robbed/killed.  I'm walking out of my hotel this morning, and I realize that I'm looking right at Pioneer Park, and there's a Saturday Market going on.  There was a live band there last night.  I didn't recognize it at all until I saw a sign that said "Pioneer Park".

Things change.  Sometimes for the better.  Just thought I'd mention that.

And again and again....

The media is NOT YOUR FRIEND.  and Katie Couric can go suck-start a shotgun.  She's got a big enough mouth.

A shot in the foot

So, a judge just tossed out Prop 8 in California.

 The optics are uniquely bad — a federal judge imperiously tossing out a public referendum enacted by citizens of one of the bluest states in America on the shoulders of a multi-racial coalition. If the goal of gay-rights activists is to make same-sex marriage palatable to the public, then embittering opponents by torpedoing a hard-fought democratic victory seems like … an odd way to go about it. 

I look forward to watching the applicants for bigamy, polygamy and the various other marriage types come forward.  And that's exactly what's going to happen.  When black-robed tyrants change or create laws through judicial fiat, you're going to open up Pandora's box.  The hard fact is this:  When you destroy the traditional definition of marriage, and you don't replace it with anything, then you've allowed anyone and anything to claim that they are "married".  Hell, Bob the pervert could marry his goat, and that's OK under the law.  You can't claim that "Well, it's OK for Bob and John to get married, but not Bob and John and Joe." because you've already said that the traditional definition of marriage is null and void but didn't place any boundaries on it.  The people pushing for gay-marriage CAN'T place any boundaries on it, because the moment they even admit that there's a boundary they've lost the argument against people who want to preserve traditional marriage.

Ah well.  This country is going to hell anyways.  Let's just remove the blocks and pick up speed.

I'M SORRY, WHAT???????

The biggest open secret in the landmark trial over same-sex marriage being heard in San Francisco is that the federal judge who will decide the case, Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker, is himself gay.  

Nah, no conflict of interest there, right?  Jeebus H. Christ on a fucking pogo stick.  Would you allow a polygamist judge to decide the legality of Warren Jeff's cult?

I'm of the opinion that there is no saving this country from it's self-inflicted poisoning.

LTG Stultz

He's the Commanding General of USARC, or the United States Army Reserve Command, for all you civilians out there.

He gets it, from both an operational and strategic standpoint.  And that's all I'm going to say.
