He's everywhere

I thought I was special.  For years, my life has been viewed from above.  I just assumed I was That Important.

It all started at the wedding.  I thought it was just a good luck flyover.  I was kind of touched that ole George cared.

Then we went on our honeymoon to Tahiti and it happened again! (oh to be that skinny again,  boo hoo.) 

Seager was shocked at his first encounter. 

Dagon proudly showed off his first steps on the beach.  But was unimpressed the second time it happened. 

We tried to escape the watchful "eye" on a trip to the Dominican Republic. 

And I know for a fact that Grandmommy was shocked to see such a big bird.

Then the unthinkable.  George was no longer aboard.  Joe  was the first to be buzzed by the new guy while fishing in Costa Rica.   

Look out Uncle Steve, The One might just land there to visit all his peeps!  But the final straw was this evening.  If you've been to my house, you know that we are nestled amongst huge trees.  And huge trees produce lots of sticks.  After many months of stick collecting, we piled them up and prepared to get rid of them.  Of course, being a retired pyromaniac, the logical thing was to set the pile on fire.  And not a moment too soon!  The burning ban goes into effect May 1.  Big Daddy, in his usual fashion, suggested gasoline to "get things going".  I didn't fall for that trick.  A few strategically placed squirts of lighter fluid was all this professional needed.  Little did I know that The One was on to me and flew by just as my little campfire got going good.  You are not going to believe what happened...

that SOB called the fire department!  Seager and Dagon were thrilled that the Fire Truck came to our house.  The Firemen couldn't have been nicer and were satisfied that I had the whole thing under control. No harm no foul.  Whew!  I was gonna send that bill to DC had I been fined.

So, watch out my friends.  You never know when The One will do a flyover and check out what you are doing.  If you are worried about how much all this surveillance is costing, don't.  They just print up whatever they need to spend.  No big deal.

This is just too easy.  Why do they have to make it so easy? 

Tooting my own horn.

I thought it was a great post.  So inspired, so current, so right on.  Did I get one response from anyone.  Nope.  Nada, zip, zilch, zero.  So, I'm going to follow in the footsteps of The One!  I'm just going to pat myself on the back and tell you all how great I am.  This wasn't my 100th post, but that's ok.

What a great post Angela!  You inspire me with your honest and insightful thoughts!  Way to go, baby! 

I have been at a loss to truly put how I feel about our planet into words.  Lucky for me, a very great man already did so.  Ladies and Gentlemen...the late and brilliant Mr. George Carlin (there will be foul language, as it should be with someone speaking for me on this subject.)

Drowning in a Sea of Green

Do you remember back in second grade when your teacher asked you to draw a picture of what the future might look like?  I mostly remember all the drawings of flying cars, fantastic skyscrapers and metallic looking jumpsuits.  I have to say that I never, ever had a vision of anything sinister or apocalyptic..  I never worried about the Earth flooding, drying up or that if I didn't recycle my milk carton, a polar bear would certainly die a slow and painful death of starvation and hot flashes.  I only dreamed of a happy life and looked forward to traveling and seeing some of the beautiful sights in our world. (Which thankfully, I have been so lucky to do!)  However, there was this one gentle reminder

Today's kids aren't quite so lucky.  Wednesday, as I'm sure you all were reminded everywhere you turned, was Earth Day.  A day for reflection and appreciation of all the beautiful and wondrous things that our planet has to offer getting brainwashed that you are destroying our planet with every move you make.  WTF?  Okay, hear me out on this.   Our children are getting the holy hell scared out of them!  A new study has emerged and the numbers have saddened me beyond belief.  You can read for yourself here http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/04/kids-worry-about-environment.php.  Basically, one out of every three children aged 6 to 11 fears that Earth won't exist when they grow up.  Minority kids have it worst; 75 percent of black children and 65 percent of Hispanic children believe that the planet will be irrevocably damaged by the time they reach adulthood.  Why are we allowing this blatant and untruthful abuse to be force fed to our children without a second thought?  Is there no innocence left?  Why should they bother to care whether they stay healthy, get a good education and have dreams if it's all going to be over in less than 20 years? 

Please don't assume that I'm not teaching my boys the proper amount of respect and admiration for Mother Earth.  I even pay extra every month so we can recycle and the boys love to help put plastic in the special bin and carry it to the street on the proper day.  They also know to never, ever leave trash anywhere and pick up after all the other slobs when we are at parks etc.  I will, however, continue to de-program them whenever the opportunity strikes.  Example:  Mommy and Seager are brushing their teeth.  Mommy turns on hot water to wash faces and hands.  Seager keeps turning water off and scolding Mommy "you're wasting water!"  How in the hell will I ever get to wash my face with HOT water if I can't let the tap run long enough for the damn hot water to get to the second story of the house?  What should be a simple bedtime ritual has turned into a frustrating reminder of my inability to control all the crap drummed into the little minds that have been entrusted to me to mold into logical, free thinking human beings.  And I don't even send my kids to the government for schooling!  Imagine how bad it could be.......Good God!

So, back to the "good ole days", you all remember School House Rock! 

Well, our good friends at Disney have created Schoolhouse Rock! Earth.  New songs for a new generation - The Schoolhouse goes Green!  Don't have a youtube link yet but you can click here and get a sampling. 

http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi763101977/

Here are the song titles on the new DVD

1.    Report from the North Pole
2.    The Little Things We Do
3.    The Trash Can Band
4.    You Oughta Be Savin’ Water
5.    The Rainforest
6.    Save the Ocean
7.    FatCat Blue: The Clean Rivers Song
8.    A Tiny Urban Zoo
9.    Solar Power to the People
10.    Windy and the Windmills
11.    Don’t be a Carbon Sasquatch

These are real, I did not make them up.

Never mind that too many kids can't read or spell or write a complete sentence or make simple change or know a little bit of history or learn that their body is full of bones.  (All of which you can learn from various School House Rock classic videos).  Let's focus on indoctrinating these kids and filling their minds with political issues created to scare the living hell out of them.  All this so they will feel comforted when the almighty Government "saves" them and the planet from certain doom by taxing them into oblivion.  Actually, I'd like to put my carbon footprint right up Al Gore's increasingly expanding ass.

I don't know if you've noticed, but I tend to always have some global warming sarcasm in almost everything I write.  There is a reason for that.  IT'S A LOAD OF CRAP!  Is there climate change, of course.  Our planet has warmed and cooled many times over thousands of years.  Why the hell do you think Greenland is named Green Land?  It used to be green.  Duh.  Are we doing bad things to our planet, of course.  But we,. as stupid polluting humans, are not causing the Earth to warm.  It has, in fact, been cooling over the past 10 years.  Thank God most people are starting to get that they have been lied to and led down a path of deception.  I'll save further discussion of that for another day.  Perhaps when Hurricane season hits and everyone is wringing their hands in despair.

Please, talk to your kids.  Let them know that everything will be ok and Mother Earth will be here for them, slightly bruised, but here for their enjoyment.  And if a comet slams into Earth and kills us all, oh well, never mind.

 

Hung Over

Don't you hate it when you drink too much?  I went to a party last night.. a Tea Party.  I'd like to say it was like being drunk. It was actually quite sobering but also exhilarating!  I almost didn't go, but thanks to my good friend Todd (aka Cave Man), I had a wingman and was able to make my pilgrimage down to the Capitol to have my say.  It's not very often that you get to stand in crowd of 15,000 and feel so connected with so many people. Strangely enough, I didn't see any Kool-Aid stands anywhere.  What I did see was Americans of every age, babies to grandparents, standing shoulder to shoulder with a common goal... to be heard.  It's a powerful thing to hear that many people chanting "Less Tax, More Freedom" in unison over and over and over.  Perhaps this is a good time to re-watch the movie Braveheart. 

This guy felt the same thing... (disclamer:  the pictures I took last night, well they suck.  I thought I would be cool and hip and use my new Blackberry as my camera of choice.  You see everyone doing it.  I promise to never make that mistake again.  I hate it when I'm stupid.)  

The best part of the night was reading all the signs!  My favorite, of course...

This one was a close second... 

These guys were a crowd favorite!  Somehow, I don't think big orange Home Depot would be too excited that they used blank signs from work.  I personally give them an A+. 

The main focus of course was the FairTax and our crappy tax system that our new tax commissioner can't even figure out without screwing it up.  Gee, I wonder why, the tax code is now 70,000 pages long.  If you go to the US Government Printing Office ( www.gpo.gov ), you can order a complete set of Title 26 of the US Code of Federal Regulations (that's the part written by the IRS), all twenty volumes of it, at the bargain price of $974, shipping included. 

The secondary focus was what they are doing with all the money they are stealing from us.

So there you have it, my experience in a nutshell.  Are you mad yet?  Are you mad enough to stand with us and make your voice heard?  I'll be going again, with Todd and whoever else wants to join us.  Next time I will have my own sign, taped to a broom, saying "Lets clean out Congress!"  (Can't seem to get away from my domestic leanings.)  Or perhaps an enema bag with the words "Washington needs and enema!"  Saw that last night. 

And what was the response from The One? 

President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he's already delivered the most progressive tax cut in history, with 95% of families getting a tax break in every paycheck.

Close to 50% of Americans don't pay any taxes so let's noodle this out...they don't pay anything but they get money back...  It's called welfare, folks.  Translation... 

What are YOU going to do about it?  Nothing? Then I don't want to hear one complaint out of any of you unless you are standing with us next time.  Bring your own sign and a real camera.

Richard, A Guest Star Again

I'm on my way out of town to bid farewell to a family member who has crossed to the other side and joins many others that have gone before her.  I am sure she is quite happy to be "catching up" with everyone there.  Enjoy it Aunt Wanda, you deserve it!  We will miss you!

Meanwhile, back here in the world of insanity, Richard will enlighten us once again.  Take it away, Richard...

The last depression lasted 12 years and only WW II was able to stop it. Our current man-made stalled economy will not recover with government bailouts alone. It takes a little less greed and thousands of businesses trusting that Washington is through meddling with our money.

       Part of the problem is the refusal to let anyone discuss how we got into this mess. Those intellectuals that caused it are the ones in charge of the recovery proving that money alone will not solve the problem. The sad part is millions have lost their life's savings because one political party wanted to increase their voting base. As one bailout after another failed, businesses declared bankruptcy and unemployment rolls became the target politicians had to fix. Too many contributing constituents were caught in the net.

      It would be nice to know that at some point government would cease throwing taxpayer money at a problem they created. How long the recovery will take is anyone's guess since the failed home mortgages are still bundled for auction at Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac. No one seems to have the answer to that miscue. 

      Meanwhile, the decision has to be made whether or not this disaster will be a simple recession or go on to a full blown depression. Only the Federal Government can make that decision, depending on the amount of money wasted. People satisfied with driving our last president out of office with a low approval rating will find a host of problems with the NEW president they had not counted on. Global warming --- yeh, right --- , getting rid of fossil fuel products, and a multi-trillion debt with interest.

       Eighth grade math will tell you it is impossible to equate the cost of two wars to the cost of imported oil at four times the amount. Printed money has a bad habit of causing inflation when printing is used to produce more money. Has anyone ever counted to a trillion? If you counted one number every second of time for forty years, you might make it. That doesn't account for food, bathroom breaks, sleeping etc.

        There is one tidbit coming out of this $800 plus billion stimulus package, one taken from the Tom Dashle book on national health care. A new federal agency will be formed to administer to the entire population's medical records. Doctors will be required to submit medical treatments for a patient to this agency for approval --- the purpose is to determine if the service is cost effected. Senior citizen treatment and others with no hope of recovery will be refused treatment if the agency determines its guidelines dictate that decision. Come on people, doctors have too many bosses meddling in their practices now. They certainly don't need another one.

         I sincerely hope that there is a misunderstanding to this latest agency and I have to immediately ask, what has this to do with returning citizens back to work.  

The Crisis...by Richard

I am pleased to say that we have a guest writer! My good friend has prepared this insightful post and I hope you will take the time to read it. He knows what he's talking about! Take it away...Richard

The current economic crisis and deep recession are not the fault of the Republicans. Nor is it the fault of banking executives asking to do away with banking regulations.
The Clinton campaign slogan "It's the economy stupid," left me wondering what he intended to do to an economy that was in pretty good shape. That question has been answered. HE DESTROYED IT!
Clinton stated that credit standards were de facto profiling and set about lobbying Congress to reorganize the very basis of financial enterprise by lowering standards across the board for measuring creditworthiness. Congress placed the most at-risk segment of our population in greater peril by encouraging the packaging of mortgage paper into investment bundles that remove single lien holders with power to deal with delinquency from the marketplace. The replacement committees of thousands of investors could not act to address problems. The guild of "growing the economy" by destroying the control mechanisms long respected by producers, merchants and consumers is the Clinton plan that the 1998 Democrat-controlled Congress turned into the piece of work that brought us to calamity.
President Bush fought for a return to sensible lending practices from his first day in office, but he was branded an "idiot" by people who paid no attention to the now obvious peril spawned by the charismatic charlatan who preceded him - people who gladly cursed the President who tried to save them. The bankers could follow the rules or drink hemlock. We are in this mess because we bought into the Clinton myth without examining the consequences.
Following World War II, we rode a wave of optimistic prosperity. Keeping up with the Joneses required a new car every three years. The new car had to have innovations for our comfort and safety, do-dads for social climbing, and increased power. Cars and toasters became disposable. In 1970, a six year old car brought just 10 percent of it's original retail value. The Big Three suffered no demand for, and thus had no incentive to build economic durability. The rest of the world had not the means to replace a vehicle on a whim and the goal of the foreign auto makers became economic longevity. It is no miracle that a 20 year old Subaru gets 30 miles per gallon and is road worthy after 4000,000 miles. It is no wonder that the Big Three did not produce its equal given the American penchant for power, show and waste.
The gas crunch of the mid seventies slapped us to attention but we soon returned to our demand for whimsical satisfaction. The Big Three did, in fact, give us what we ask for: Eleven cup holders, six power ports, back seat entertainment centers, electronics to tell us where we are and want to be, closed circuit TV systems to show us where we've been, and the gas guzzling power to haul it around.
We bought into the American dream at a level we could not afford and bankers were forced to provide the credit we demanded or run the risk of prosecution on trumped up charges. There was no one in the American marketplace who forced us to forfeit earnings to buy perishables. We signed on the dotted line because our greed couldn't stand the thought that someone else had more toys than us. If there was a villain, separate from the miscreants of 1998, it was those among us who continued to live as if there was no tomorrow. It was those of us who returned incompetent schemers to congress who refused the concept of personal responsibility. It was people preaching resistance to Bush's efforts to return us to sensibleness. Now we all suffer for their having committed us to a trip through yesterday's pleasures paid for with tomorrow's dollars.
No President, no Congress, no dream can undo the mess we're in. We need a nation to forsake "we need what we want" ambitions and embrace a more realistic "let us WORK for what we need " attitude.

Now are you pissed off...what's it gonna take????

The House voted no on this crap.  Now it's off to the Senators.  You can make a difference!

Click on this link

http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm?State=GA

Pick your Senators and click on the Web form link.  It takes you to a fill in the blank and bitch form.  FILL IT OUT!  It will take 3 minutes tops.  Send them the message that you are pissed and you aren't gonna take it anymore.  There are at least 57 million of us who didn't want this administration and I would assume that not all who voted for Obama are on board for this kind of idiocy. That means 60 million+.  WTF?  Where is the outcry?  Good God... take some control and make your voice heard!

You can now go back to searching for recipes, American Idol rejects, kittens on You Tube or whatever else is more important to you than making your voice heard.

Thank you and good night. 

 

I could, but I won't!

Yes, I could just ignore PEBO's little speech this morning...BUT I WILL NOT...and neither should you. 

This guy has really got some balls.  HE IS NOT THE PRESIDENT, yet.  So where does he get off calling press conferences and acting as if he is?  Even the media that is in lust/love with the man admits that his Transition has been grossly over played and "in your face" than any in our country's history.  Not to mention the arrogance of creating this fake seal...

But back to the speech.  And it was a speech as only he can deliver.  As always, he says things that no one can disagree with.  At that point, even someone like me, can get sucked in.   Things like... 

This crisis did not happen solely by some accident of history or normal turn of the business cycle, and we won’t get out of it by simply waiting for a better day to come, or relying on the worn-out dogmas of the past. We arrived at this point due to an era of profound irresponsibility that stretched from corporate boardrooms to the halls of power in Washington, DC. For years, too many Wall Street executives made imprudent and dangerous decisions, seeking profits with too little regard for risk, too little regulatory scrutiny, and too little accountability. Banks made loans without concern for whether borrowers could repay them, and some borrowers took advantage of cheap credit to take on debt they couldn’t afford. Politicians spent taxpayer money without wisdom or discipline, and too often focused on scoring political points instead of the problems they were sent here to solve. The result has been a devastating loss of trust and confidence in our economy, our financial markets, and our government.

You start thinking, "maybe he does get it".  Then as you listen and he unfolds his plan to fix said problem, the uncomfortable feeling of WTF sinks in.  Things like...

It is true that we cannot depend on government alone to create jobs or long-term growth, but at this particular moment, only government can provide the short-term boost necessary to lift us from a recession this deep and severe. Only government can break the vicious cycles that are crippling our economy – where a lack of spending leads to lost jobs which leads to even less spending; where an inability to lend and borrow stops growth and leads to even less credit.

Only government?!  WTF?  And herein lies the sole reason that every conservative, independent individual completely and utterly distrusts this man.  He is a socialist, pure and simple.  We are not a great country because of our government, we are a great country in spite of our government.  We have succeeded for the past 233 years because of the hard work of our people and the sacrifices of our military and their families who risk everything to defend it, not our government.

He preaches dire gloom and doom.  Circumstances that only One Trillion dollars can fix.  Nevermind that we don't have a spare trillion...we'll just print it up.  Good God, this is total insanity.  Forgive me if I'm a little afraid, but the people who have come up with this brilliant stimulus plan are the same folks who got us into this mess.  History tells us that this just doesn't work.

In 2004, two UCLA economists said they figured out why the Great Depression dragged on for almost 15 years, and they blamed a suspect previously thought to be beyond reproach: President Franklin D. Roosevelt.  After studying the policies implemented by FDR they had this to say "The economy was poised for a beautiful recovery, but that recovery was stalled by misguided policies.”  “Ironically, our work shows that the recovery would have been very rapid had the government not intervened.” “We found that a depression relapse isn’t likely unless lawmakers gum up a recovery with ill-conceived stimulus policies.”  History is a powerful tool. There is a famous quote...  “Those who do not learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.”

I challenge you to come up with one thing that the Government is good at.  Come on...what program, plan or policy has been wildly successful and has come in under budget.  None.  Everyone knows that anything involving government costs 10 times more than using the private sector.  Why then, should we believe that the almighty government best knows how to spend all this money they are printing up. 

There is a plan out there.  How about a tax holiday.  You keep all the money you earn for 3, 6, 9 months, hell, let's just make it a year.  It's still better than printing up a trillion!  Do you think if every American got to keep all their salary for the next few months that it would boost our economy?  I doubt everyone would stick that extra cash under the mattress.  Nope, they would buy stuff, pay off credit cards, have a down payment for a house, and take vacations.  Would all these things stimulate the economy...hell yes!  But you see, in a Socialist environment, Only The Government knows how best to spend YOUR money, NOT YOU.  Mr. Obama is using our slumping economy to fulfill all his campaign promises, dreams and more.  Will you just sit by and let him do it?  There are alot more of us than of them.  Whatta ya say?  If you sit by silently, what kind of country will we be creating for our kids.  It sure won't be one that we will recognize.  WTF.

On another note...Does anyone know where Biden is?  They must have him locked away somewhere.  Troubling and much less entertaining.  WTF.

 

I had a dream...

This dream was so odd I have to share.  Guess who I had lunch with?...Obama!  I was asking all kinds of questions and getting standard answers.  I only remember two questions I asked. 

The first was what he planned to do about the millions of people that wanted to know the truth about UFO's.  I got a chuckle and a smirk.  I told him I wasn't a nut job but I don't think he believed me. 

The second question was this; when you first sat down with President Bush and he started filling you in on all the crap that nobody knows about what was the most surprising thing he told you?  Just as he started to answer, some people arrived and said he had to go. 

At that point I realized my wallet was missing.  I had my purse, but my wallet was missing.  I was asking everyone at the table to help me look.  I knew I had it when I had to show ID for approval to be in the presence of Him.  As dreams sometimes do, everything shifted and my focus was an all out desperate search for my wallet.  Running around the room and asking everyone to help.  I don't remember anything after that, guess I woke up.

So, as I went about my morning insanity this dream was quite vivid in my mind.  It was not the fade away, can't remember any of it, kind of dream.  Then the hysterical part dawned on me, did you get it????

My wallet was missing!  That's where I keep my money, as does everyone else.  You could just chalk it up to a weird random thing but I think my subconscious is quite disturbed.  My money is disappearing and I can't get a straight answer about anything. 

It's going to be a long 4 years.  I can't even escape Him in my usually lovely dream state.  Damn.  Just Damn.

Economy 101

Confused about all the bailouts?  Wondering how we got into this mess?  Take a few minutes and watch this.  Fred is able to explain it all in easy to understand language...you know...for us common folks.

 

Can you say Brood Mare?

Okay Boys and Girls, fasten your seatbelts cause I feel a rant comin' on and it ain't gonna be pretty.  If you are a liberal, bed-wetting puss who sees good in everybody, better click off now...consider yourself warned.

I'd like to introduce you to Latrica Ryan who lives in Flint, Michigan.  Latrica is a 29-year-old single stay-at-home mother of five sons and five daughters, who range in age from 2 months to 13 years. 

The lovely RoNeisha Mullen, star reporter at the Flint Journal, has brought us this heartbreaking story about Latrica's plight.  It would seem that Latrica desperately needs a washer and dryer. She also has severe transportation woes but transportation isn't the only issue Ryan has to deal with.  She sometimes needs help providing her children with clothes and food.  With the help of FACED Corporation, she is able to ensure that her kids' basic needs are met.  The faith based agency has helped Ryan clothe and feed her children, as well as pay utility bills FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS.  WTF??!!  Why didn't they clue in after the first couple of years?  Clearly FACED needs some counseling of their own.

As engaging as this article was, the comments from the readers were the highlight.  The outrage was understandable and vicious.  Suggestions were as simple as "get a job", "get off your back and on your feet", "have someone sew that thing up" (my personal favorite), and a simple "stop having sex".  And then there were the nut cases who actually defended this parasite.  Statements like "we don't know the whole story" and "maybe she was raped"...I'm not kidding...this is the mentality of your typical left wing idiot.  Raped???!!!  10 TIMES?  OMG!!!!!  At this point I am hysterically laughing and then came the ultimate, and I quote, "Maybe now that Obama will be our president, it might be what will help this woman and her children!!"  You knew it was coming, I know you did.

Another kind hearted soul had this to say "look at them faces, I see a doctor, lawyer,  pro football player, computer tech, nurse, mayor, store clerk, engineer and a police officer."  Yeah Right.  Want to know what I see?  Five young girls who will be knocked up before they are 16.  A drug dealer, crack head, five baby daddys and several cell mates.  Even though Latrica claims that six of her chiren are on the honor roll, how can we expect them to break out of the horror she has created for them.  If she is their only role model, where do they get the desire to see the world any different, get off their ass, get a job, be responsible, keep their dick in their saggy pants, and contribute to society instead of leech off those of us who choose a better life. 

Did the FACED charity ever consider taking her fertile ass down to the free clinic for a birth control shot, IUD, or a tubiligation.  Everyone screws (up) once, but how about after the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th etc. do you think someone could have counseled her on how to close her legs instead of giving her diapers.  And the biggest question of all, who are the baby daddys?  Where are these low-life thugs?  One guy commented that he actually researched and found two in prison.  Why is our society so hell bent on enabling women like this and allowing the men to get away with creating the problem and walking away? WTF? WTF? WTF?

On a happy note, the local radio station there in Flint showcased this sad tale and someone has donated a washer and dryer.  Oh thank God.  Having to go to the laundrymat really takes up alot of time and effort that could be better spent lying on one's back with their legs in the air.  This is not a racial issue, it is a cultural one.  The black race tries to blame all these issues on the color of their skin.  Guess what, it's not about color, it's about culture.  Now that Obama has shattered the race issue let's see if he, the Messiah, can convince those in the black race that their actions, not their skin color, is what is now holding them back. 

Okay, I could go on and on and on about this subject but I won't.  Will things change?  No way in hell or at least not until the Conservatives of this country stand up and fight.  Even then, it's too far gone.  This problem will only get worse as long as the people getting outrageous assistance are allowed to vote for the people giving them the outrageous assistance.  Sigh and WTF.  I did warn you.

Pass the Peanuts

This just in...the American Auto makers are in trouble.  Well I just can't imagine why.  Their cars SUCK!  I guess that is beside the point.  So what's a business man to do in desperate times...I know, we'll beg.  Lets go down to Washington DC and beg for billions.  Never mind that we have no idea how to run a company, build a quality product and our Unions are sucking us dry.  We'll just beg.  Now this in itself is a flaming WTF moment, BUT, IT GETS BETTER! 

How will we get down to Washington, boys?  Well we could drive a Suburban, nah drinks too much gas.  Lets take the Town & Country Minivan, uuhh not sure about the transmission on that one.  OK, OK we'll just float down there in a Crown Vic!  OOOOhhhh, bad idea, might get carjacked down there in DC.  What to do, what to do.  Let's call Delta...nope, we might be allergic to peanuts...just can't risk it.  Let's just take the jet, no, not one, lets just take all three.    And so they did. WTF?  That's like showing up to Hosea Williams' feed the hungry Thanksgiving dinner in a stretch Hummer, wearing a tux and asking for a plate of food!

GM guy, Rick Wagoner's private jet trip to Washington cost an estimated $20,000 roundtrip. Commercial flights were going online for $288 coach and $837 first class. Ford has a fleet of eight corporate jets flying around the world.  In fact, Ford CEO, Alan Mulally's corporate jet (one of a fleet of eight) is a perk included for both he and his wife.  You see,  Mulally actually lives in Seattle, not Detroit. The company jet takes him home and back on weekends. Can you blame him?  Who the hell would want to live in Detroit?

I am not a wealth envy hack.  I do not begrudge the high CEO salaries because it's a tough job and they've worked their way up to it.  BUT, when you have continually made bad decisions, over many many years, and have driven your industry into ruin, I say tough shit.  And if you are coming to us, the taxpayers, to bail your sorry asses out, the least you can do is fly commercial with us, screaming babies, germs, peanuts and all.  WTF?

 

Landslide? I think not.

I have struggled for the past two days on how to approach my post election blog entry. I still don't have a "theme" as I normally do. My emotions are all over the place and hard to get from my head and heart onto the page. Since I only have about 45 more minutes until it's officially WTF Friday I guess I will just jump in and start typing. If I start to ramble, just click away to something else and visit again next week.

Hint: Any future references to the media will now be Omedia. They have earned this title one hundred fold. I will continue now.

The Omedia keeps referring to the Democratic win as a landslide. I am sure that the 57 million people who voted against the Democrats take offense to that statement. I do. I don't think a difference of 5% equals a landslide. So, even though not a landslide, I am thankful that there was a clear winner. The reason why this matters you ask? Because of the "lets come together and unite" message.

This country has been torn apart these past 8 years and it began with the 2000 election. Bush did win that election, fair and square, but the other side just couldn't live with it. They ridiculed the man from before day one. Even a terror attack on our soil couldn't shut them up. Where was all the unity then? Why is it so important now, but wasn't then? If unity is all we needed to make America great why wasn't everyone holding hands and singing?

I hated the Bush bashing and Obama will be my President without any unwarranted abuse. I will, however, continue to watch him like a hawk. He does not represent my views and hopes for us as a people and a country and I will bitch loudly regarding anything I don't agree with.

I have a feeling that there will be some buyer's remorse from some who chose a Socialist over someone who I think genuinely wanted to try to clean up the mess in Washington. I have a great feeling of uneasiness on several fronts but just don't have the energy to address these things now. I really haven't been sleeping well. I hope that this uneasiness subsides as I wean myself from all the political crap. I will continue to pay attention to my gut feeling that there is just something not quite right about Mr. Obama.

He made history as the first MIXED RACED Amercian. No one will ever take that distinction from him. The fact that he is half-white seems to have been ignored. He ran a smart and brilliant campaign and won because of it and the Omedia failing or refusing to research him. I can understand why black Amercians are excited. I only wish that I could have been a supporter of this historic achievement but I chose to base my vote on issues instead of color.

Finally, I can honestly say that I am very happy that my boys are learning safely at home with me and not in the government school system that will most certainly not improve and may actually get further radicalized under a radical Socialist regime. Think I'm nuts? You research what he did in the Chicago area regarding schools, who he did it with and who he has in mind to help him in his administration in the education arena. If you get scared I have lots of homeschool resources I will gladly share.

That's it for now. I will get back to some fun WTF posts as next week. Send some suggestions!

PS: I came across this comment from some lovely person regarding the First Dog biting a member of the Omedia (way to go Barney!). The idiocy, grammer and typos were copied directly.

Today, at approximately 11am, Fox News reporter John Decker was walking across the White House lawn. He saw George W. Bush's dog, Barney, walking across the lawn. John leaned over to pet Barney, and Barney bit his index finger. This is rediculous! He had to be treated by the White House doctor.George W. Bush should be ashamed of himself for having his dog attack a reporter just because he lost the presidential race. What ever happend to losing gracefully? Thank God for Barack Obama! I heard he will be giving his daughters a new dog to have in the White House. Although, unlike with George Bush, reporters will be able to access the White House without fear of being attacked by the president's dog. We all know Obama will teach his dog some manners! It's about time we had some change after 8 terms of Republican rule! They are not smart enough to be running this country. Under this new president, we will know longer have these terrible incidents. I hope Mr. Decker sews George W. Bush for all he is worth. Every penny of his oil fortune he's made while in the White House. George W. Bush is a terrible man, and this is just further evidence. No decent person has there dog attack someone.

Well, here we are...

November 4th.  Is it the end or the beginning?  It's both.  The end of a very long and frustrating campaign season, unless you like Odumbo.  The beginning of some sort of change.

I have no more words of wisdom or speeches.  I always say that things happen the way they are supposed to happen and this is no different.  I feel like I did my part.

Today will bring alot of excitement and anxiety.  Some will be elated, some will be disappointed.  If UHHbama wins, I'm afraid this lady is in for a little bit of both when she still has to fill up her car and pay her mortgage. 

So that's it.  It's in the hands of fate now.

Oh the horror...

What a historic Halloween we have brewing.  This could very well be the end of times, the new great depression or as Obonzo attempted to quote Red Foxx "It's the Big One Weezie!" 

Never mind that Weezie was on the Jeffersons.  I have to credit Michelle Malkin on this one, but it was so fitting after watching the Obummer horror flick last evening.  The only thing he could have shown that would've been more depressing would have been some dead puppies.  His four sob stories from these poor downtrodden families, who just happen to reside in swing states, were just beyond horrific. Empty refrigerators, clearly overweight people on the verge of starvation, retirees from the B & O Railroad (are you kidding me?) and a widow who works with special needs kids who just happened to wear some fashionable square framed glasses who was fat also, just an observation. 

The Obomination wants you to believe that America is awful, bad, horrendous and on the brink of extinction.  He can save us...Thank God.  Heal us O Chosen One, only you can bring us back from the edge of destruction. 

WTF!  I call Bull Shit. 

This is America.  We are great and strong.  Yes, things are a little down now but it's just not as bad as the Obamunist worshipping media has brainwashed everyone into believing.    Check your history - look at unemployment rates and interest rates and suicide rates from the Great Depression and other tough times.  It makes this look like a cake walk.

Today is an important day.  Get out there and get some free candy!  If you don't have kids, don't worry, I'm sure you know someone who does.  Preferably a liberal.  Just knock on their door about 10:00 tonight and tell them you can't or won't have children but you really deserve some candy.  In fact, you think it should be a right to get free candy. Demand that they hand over your fair share.  It's the patriotic (sorry, wrong holiday) It's all about fairness.  Spread the candy around! Never mind you will be able to get all the candy you want for 1/2 price tomorrow, why should you pay for what should be rightfully yours? 

Wake up people and smell the Socialism.  I can smell it and it stinks like rotting flesh.  How's that for a little Halloween Horror?  And if people come to your door looking like or talking about Captain Big Ears and the Boy Blunder, just pull out your gun and bible.  I think they'll get the message.

Happy Halloween!

  

A Sign From Above

I'm not a morning person.  There is a very short list of things that will inspire me to get up at 6:30 a.m.  A hungry baby, of course - an early morning flight to somewhere very warm and very tropical, absolutely.

Very early this morning I had to drag myself from my warm bed for what?  To cast my vote.  WTF?  It was cold, it was dark.  I had this scenario in my head of arriving early and sitting in my warm vehicle until I was ready.  Yeah, right.  There were already 125 people in line when I arrived.  People in chairs with blankets, hats and gloves camped out...waiting.  It reminded me of a cold night in 1984 when I spent the night on a sidewalk waiting to buy Prince tickets.

To make matters worse, instead of being excited to vote for a wonderful candidate that gives me that tingling feeling up my leg, I was voting specifically against the hopeless idea of socialism.  WTF?  How could we, as a country, possibly get to this sad day.  My theory has alot to do with the indoctrination of the general public disguised as the pitiful government education system.  I won't get into that now, but I have spent hours researching the subject and most people would be shocked at what they would learn if they took the time to look into the history of it.

As I was driving in the dark this morning something happened.  Something so rare that I had to laugh at the implications.  A shooting star flashed across the pre-dawn sky and I just happened to be looking up at that exact second.  What could it symbolize?  Was it a sign?  Will it be a beautiful example of McCain and Sarah becoming the stars we need to fix this mess (or at least try to) or will it be just another lump of space shit soaring high and bright but falling to it's death and burning out in a split second.  Unfortunately, we will have to wait at least 6 more excruciating days to know. 

Missed Opportunity

Citizens in Grand Junction, Colorado missed a perfect opportunity to get themselves some free speed bumps and rid this country of several anti-American, Obamunists at the same time.  This past Monday, several protesters tried to stop Governor Sarah Palin's Motorcade while in route to a campaign rally.  You can see the video here...

Now I'm no rocket scientist but anyone with even the smallest brain surely would realize that stopping a motorcade involving  Police Officers and SECRET SERVICE agents might not be such a bright idea.  Even worse, this was Sarah..... one who has the ability to blow your ass away with her own skills alone.  Some of these knuckle-draggers actually wore bandanas over their face (guess they thought that would make them look cool for the video.). 

The real WTF question is this. - they are screaming POLICE BRUTALITY!?  Never mind that the officers saved your commie asses from getting flattened by a fast-moving Suburban (best case) or shot in the chest multiple times by Sarah's SS Detail (excellent case).  If you'll notice, during the scuffle, one of them (accidentally??!!) pushed an Officer toward the oncoming traffic but he was able to keep himself out of harm's way.  Now that is Police Brutality - perpetrated on the Police!

In an interview, protestor Mallory Rice says it was hardly restraint.  "I had an officer grab me by my head, my hair, and drag me to the sidewalk. It was terrifying,"  Oh Boo Hoo Bitch!  Terrifying would be a nice tire track across your stupid face.  You are lucky your skull wasn't crushed under Sarah's very large, very heavy American-made SUV.  Rice says she and other protestors never meant to put police officers in danger and they were just trying to spread their anti–Palin message.

I vote next time any anti-American protesters jump in front of a motorcade we should let them make their statement.  Since they are liberals, even if they are dead, they will probably still get to vote for the Messiah.  What if some protesters had jumped in front of Osama's motorcade?  They would have been racists, of course,  Get used to that word you are going to hear it alot in the coming months and if the Socialist wins, GOD help us, the coming years.

Just for the record (literally)- the rally that Sarah spoke at drew 22,000 people to hear her words and cheer her on; a record for Grand Junction!  Go Sarah!

As a side note, get your asses out there and vote early.  Don't wait until the last minute.  I know here in Cobb County they have numerous places for early voting next week.  The media is feeding you poll numbers that are all over the board.  They are not to be trusted and I think this race could be much closer than what some are saying.  Of course, I could be dead wrong and we'll just have to live with that.  We'll all need a shirt like this

or this  

or this 

or this 

GO VOTE!  Save the Moose Hunter, Save the World!  Catchy huh?  I made it up.  Any Heroes fans out there?  We could use a Hero about now... wait ...there is one running for President.  Well whatta ya know.

 

 

 

Shut up and sing.

We love music here at the Maxwell house, all different kinds by many different artists.  Recently, several of these beloved artists have recently been placed on my shit list (joining the Dixie Chicks).  The offenders are John Mellencamp, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Boston, Survivor, Jackson Browne and Heart.  Their songs bring back many happy memories from high school when music was fun and life was unhindered.  One would think that they would be happy to get paid for our middle-aged walk down memory lane.  Apparently not.  This group is so drunk on kool-aid that they think they get to pick and choose who listens to or plays their music and that we care about their politics.  WTF?  I don't care about you or your Hollyweird friends and I especially don't care to hear your opinions...just shut the hell up and sing.

Just in case you have no idea what I'm talking about, I'll catch you up.  They all got their boxers/panties in a bunch when their songs were heard at campaign rallies or during the Republican Convention.  All the boo hooing and whining, resulted in many liberal media articles railing against McCain/Palin for using songs without permission from these poor, pitiful, misunderstood artists.  In all their rants about the artists rights and how stupid McCain is, most failed to mention that the campaign went through all the necessary paperwork and licensing to get the appropriate permission to use the songs.  You see, once an artist puts a song out there for public use, they join organizations like BMI, ASCAP and SESAC to collect fees from whoever or whatever plans to play their songs.  This happens at convention venues, sports arenas, shopping malls, restaurants, amusement parks and events everywhere.  It's called background music.  I don't remember any artists bitching when their song is played at a Falcon's or Braves  game.  I guess that means AC/DC (Back in Black) and John Fogerty (Centerfield) are Falcon and Braves fans.  Jackson Browne is the only one with a legal leg to stand on due to "Running on Empty" being used in a commercial...some legal jargon citing the Lanham Act which has to do with trademarks and copyrights.

So, I decided to hunt for some Conservative musicians that wouldn't be so quick to piss me off.  Here is the list...Ted Nugent (duh), Gene Simmons, Sammy Hagar, Johnny Ramone, ZZ Top, Charlie Daniels, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Alice Cooper, Meat Loaf, Bob Seger, Wayne Newton, Burt Bacharach, Donny Osmond, Jessica Simpson, Brittney Spears (What? maybe she does have a brain), tons of country stars and last but not least Kid Rock.  I found this song of his...

As for the whiners, if I depended on Americans to buy my product and/or attend my "comeback" concerts, I think I would keep my mouth shut instead of pissing off half the country.  Just my opinion. Maybe Anne Wilson can take the royalties she made (against her will) and go see Jenny Craig. (oops, there I go again. That's just nasty.)   Don't agree or did I get it wrong?  Leave me a comment and tell me why.

I have two words...

Sorry, can't help myself...

Palin Rocked!

He approved the message.

A recent Nobama ad accused McCain of being out of touch because he didn't send emails and was unable to use the computer. Well, turns out this issue was addressed back in 2000. Apparently, since his shoulders, arms and fingers (among other parts) were severely and repeatedly broken during his "Service" (not to be mistaken for Room Service) to our country at the Hanoi Hilton, he has a little trouble typing on a keyboard. He did, however, state that his wife and/or staff members aid him in replying to emails and surfing the Internet. It was also noted that his injuries prevent him from combing his hair and tying his shoes. Unbelievably, no one elaborated on who does comb his hair and tie his shoes.

I started thinking about this today. Not about if John McCain might or might not be Presidential due to his lack of computer prowess but, my God, how much pain must he be in. I don't mean just the actual physical pain, though it must be excruciating, but the mental anguish and frustration at the inability to do all the things he might like to do. For example, imagine you get up, stumble to the bathroom and glance in the mirror...UUHHHGGGGG, you pick up a brush and try to do something, anything...to no avail. You now realize you must start from scratch, so you jump in the shower and lather up the tangled mess. No problem. Are you following me? If the man can't comb it, how does he wash it and who is in the damn shower with him washing his hair? WTF! Who would want that job?

Then I really stared thinking about all the things you wouldn't be able to do if your fingers were damaged beyond what any of us can comprehend or if you couldn't raise your arms above your shoulders. You couldn't, for instance, ...... hold your child (or grandchild or any child) above your head and play Superman or Supergirl. Play a piano. Put the star or Angel on the Christmas tree. Send a text message. Throw a baseball. Teach someone to tie their shoe. Put something on top of the refrigerator. Do a cartwheel. Hug someone taller than yourself. Pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time. Chop wood. Sew a button on. Put on a cowboy hat. Dive in the pool. Do the Madonna Vogue dance. Hang a picture for someone other that a midget.(Richard) Change a light bulb in the ceiling fan. Play a guitar (unless it's air guitar). Pick an apple. Wash the mud off your jacked-up monster truck. Or never, ever be absolutely "Sure" your anti-perspirant is working. I think you get the picture.

So this WTF moment is not so much about all this political insanity but more about inhumanity. How inhumane this man's suffering is and how inhumane it is to try to use it against him and how inhumane it is that we all take our freedom, health and happiness for granted. I don't care if you vote for McCain, that is your choice but please don't forget what he and millions of other men and women have endured so you have the freedom to text message and send emails about nothing to your loved ones and co-workers. He can't do it, but he made damn sure that you can.

And to that I say "WTF"?!
