Waste

Well, they have already given us a perty good idea of what the President is gonna talk about tonite.. Iraq, Iran, Hamas, our addiction to oil.. I figger he is gonna beat his chest and roar a little bit for gettin Sam Alito approved to the Supreme Court too..
Thats all fine and dandy, but I hope he really drums on the oil subject.. I hope G.W. uses his eyes to bore holes in the obstructionists that have, so far, blocked drillin in ANWR, while he talks about em..

Waste #1 We have wasted way too much TIME in not already havin a viable alternative energy source in use.. They are out there and have been for a long TIME. For some of them, the TIME may already have passed.. For others, TIME has proven them to be a waste of TIME..

Waste #2 We have wasted too much MONEY.. I wonder if somewhere out there in cyberland that there may be someone that has kept track of how much MONEY has been spent in tests and surveys and trials and studies of off-the-wall miracle sources of energy that didnt have an ounce of credibility to em ?? I also wonder how much MONEY is STILL bein spent on em ??

Waste #3 We have wasted a lot of Effort.. After spendin a shitload of TIME and MONEY, we are now spendin a lot of EFFORT in tryin to get folks to use energy sources that have been designed and built.. The Not-In-My-Backyard Syndrome is alive and well today.. Nobody wants a wind farm for a neighbor.. Nobody wants an oil shale mine for a neighbor.. Nobody wants a biofuel plant in their neighborhood.. Nobody wants a nukular power generator for a neighbor.. Nobody wants a hydroelectric dam.. Not just in their neighborhood, but ANYWHERE.. In fact, some want ALL the advancements in all these areas to be shut down and dismantled..

Waste #4 ARGUMENTS have been wasted by the millions.. We have ARGUED till we are blue in the face to the folks that just will not fuggin see the light.. We have to have some form of energy source to run this country and keep it free and prosperous.. The WHOLE WORLD depends on America bein a free and prosperous country.. Almost all of yesterdays and todays techno advances have come from this country.. That wasnt done by some sort of fuggin magic either.. It was done with a lot of TIME, MONEY, and EFFORT.. But that too is still not enough for some folks.. They still ARGUE that its still unacceptable to be where we are today.. We ARE where we are today becuse of THEM and those like THEM !!
Where ARE we ?? We are in a dangerous place.. Anyday OPEC could turn off the spiget to our oil supply and we would no longer be a prosperous nation.. We would also not be a SECURE nation, and would then not be a FREE country for long.. If OPEC cut off the tap, before we could drill in ANWR and invade Mexico and take all their oil, we would already be beyond the point of bein able to protect our own country..

Waste #5 We have wasted all our CHANCES !! Any TIME we have left is all just borrowed time.. Any MONEY we have left, we need to buy guns and ammo with.. Any EFFORT we take, we better use it to try and secure a defendable position from.. If you are wantin to ARGUE about it, then you need to find somebody else to do it with cause you have already missed your CHANCE !!

They Are Scarin Me

I'm just sittin here wonderin if we are now gonna have all the liberals in Canada pourin across the border, on their way south into the U.S. because of the conservative election results??
Remember when G.W. was re-elected in '04, and all the usual bleedin-heart liberals in Hollyweird were sayin that they were gonna pack-up and leave ??
Well, the media seems to have forgot to update us on what Madonna has been up to since the bombins in London, and the riots in Paris and that area.. I wonder why ?? I did notice somewhere the other day, that some famous star or personality was livin in fear in their foreign home, and were in the process of movin back to the States.. Whoda Thunk It ??
I wonder if there is any possibility of ChimpBushHitler cancellin their visa or passport ?? FUGGIT !! I just hope we got those illegal wiretaps on their phones and e-mail !!

Wars and Rumors of War

It looks like our backs are up against the wall again, and we are bein pushed into a corner.. We have been nice and talked the talk, but the time for talkin is over.. We must now muster our energy and resolve to remain free and without fear of terrorism.. What took decades during the Crusades will only take a few weeks this time around.. Such is modern warfare.. Islamofacism has mistakenly taken our slow steady steps of attempting to change their minds as weakness and think we dont have the strength to squush em like a bug.. I got news for em.. We got a whole new can of "WHOOP ASS" and we are about to break the seal on it just for them !! We have given em all the chances they are gonna get from us and now they can either put-up, or shut up.. I'm sick to death of these little ankle-bitin bastards screwin up my leisure time.. I've got a lot better thangs I could be thinkin bout besides whether some little dickhead is gonna take a cannister of poison into a school and release it, or that some puke is gonna walk a suitcase nuke across the border and set it off in downtown Houston.. If Iran, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan and Saudi have to glow in the dark for the next 1,000 years to stop it, so fuggin beit.. Their chickens are bout to come home to roost !!

The U.S. has tried to play by the World Society's rules for too long, and look where its got us.. We have to break away and play by OUR rules before we end up like Rome did..

All this shit started back in the days when Arafat was just beginnin.. All the terrorism today is just the makins of him.. Such a shame the bastard had to live a long life and didnt get lead poisonin a long time ago.. There are a lot of Arafat Wannabes out there today, and I hope we can weed em out in short order.. Too much hard work, sweat, and blood are goin into war.. But you do what ya gotta do.. And right nowI think that the best way to stop the bullshit is to just kill enuff of em for them to see that they are on a path that only leads to them becomin extinct.. My suggestion is to start with about 20 million of em.. Just as a sample number, but after that we could fine tune the number and location a little more.. Just thank about a bunch of protesters in the streets somewhere burnin an American flag, and then they get a taste of it themselves .. "I love the site of plutonium in the mornin.. Looks like VICTORY" !!

Tater Soup

But I've always called em Stewed Taters.. You take a 6 or 8 quart pan and fill 2/3rds full of water, add a stick of butter, a chopped onion, a chunk of smoked bacon, a few stalks of chopped celery, a bunch of salt and pepper, and when that boils a while, you add about 3 pounds of chunked-up taters and after that slowly boils for about an hour, you add about a half-pound of your favorite chesse and turn it off and stir it often till the cheese melts good.. That and a few slices of garlic toast will make you wanna take a little nap.. You can take a nap while your tea steeps a while, cause you are gonna need plenty of tea after you wake up..
My Daddy used to buy the steaks and I would fix the taters and we would have steak and taters out somewhere with the steaks cooked over an open fire.. A nice, cool evening was the best time to have em too.. During the process we would usually consume a fifth of Sour Mash too..
The best wood I have ever used to cook those steaks, was Huckleberry.. The closest I can come to describin it, is mesquite.. But even mesquite is a far distant second to huckleberry..
I fixed stewed taters and garlic toast for our supper tonite, so while the tea sets a while, I better go get that nap.. See ya'll after while .. YAAAWN.. Scuse me !!

No Ifs, Ands, Or Democrats

Mostly Cajun, who is in my blogroll, has 2 great posts up on his site today.. They are about folks that deny logic.. FOOLS, if you will..

There is gonna be a lot of money spent in the area of the coast of Texas and Loisianna, and Mississippi, and a LOT of that money is gonna come out of mine and your pocket.. What I'm gonna have a hard time with is the way that money is spent.. I dont have any problems with the money bein spent in a way that will be cost effective, well managed, applied where needed, and not linin somebodies kinfolks pockets that aint doin a damn thang to earn it.. I dont think it would be very well spent on consultants and surveys and studies either.. Just do what can be done to put folks back in their homes and businesses !! PERIOD !!

Take the Nawlins levee for example.. How high and wide and strong could the levee have been built with the money they pissed-off on their fuggin committees and other total bullshit ?? And how much money was diverted AWAY from the levee by these same groups of people that were supposed to spend the money on the levee ?? While the levee was seen by many as a disaster waitin to happen for over 100 years, consultant fees have been poured into pockets of relatives and money that was funded for the levee were spent on the Superdome and Convention Center and tourism studies and roads and bridges, not to mention parks and fuggin ART WORK !! The only thang that even comes close on the STUPIDITY SCALE, is when after 9-11 New Jersey spent a shit-load of their Homeland Security funds on gotdamn GARBAGE TRUCKS instead of anythang resemblin actual SECURITY !! But when the color coded Security Alert goes from YELLOW to ORANGE or RED, who is the first one to shit their britches ?? Yep, New Jersey !! WE NEED MORE MONEY !! Thats what they start screamin ..

I dont want my, or your, money goin to some dickhead in an ARMANI suit, from fuggin Manhattan, goin down to the coast and tellin em that, "Yep, everything is gone", and "ya'll need to build some houses and businesses around here" , and collectin enuff money for that little bit of "expertise" to replace 3 or 4 blocks of what has been wiped out..

I've seen the pics of Dale's Fematorium he was provided with, and it doesnt even compare to what I've seen go by my house on the way to the victims of Rita and Katrina.. Dale got a box compared to what some are gettin.. My neighbor works in the Texarkana area and he is near where they are storing the trailers that are to be sent to the hurricane areas, and he says they are STACKED everywhere and the newspaper says they are gonna start storin em in places as far away as Jacksonville Florida..

Old folks and sick folks are sleepin in tents and the backs of pick-ups in Mississippi and Alabama, next to a new home, because the inspectors havent come by yet to sign-off on the installation of their new home and give them the keys.. If you havent heard yet, it has been freezin down there too.. Sounds to me like somebody needs a boot in their ass !! They need somebody like Stormin Norman Swartzkopf to go down there and get the shit-on-the-stick !! I dont see that the Coast Guard Admiral that replaced Mr. Brown is gettin the job done.. Matter-of-fact, I think Mr. Brown would have been better at the job-at-hand than the Adm. is doin.. The job to be done now is exactly what Mr. Brown had expertise in doin and what I think he was hired for, but due to the worthless officials in Nawlins wantin somebody else to blame for their fuggups, they dont have Mr. Brown to get shit accomplished, but have a Military Officer who has spent his career in "hurry up and wait" mode.. A Military Officer is fine, when dealin with the Military, but is useless when dealin with civilian officials and the public in a manor in which he is bein used.. The military caint even conduct their own purchases and procurements.. Thats why they have $600 toilet seats and $300 ash trays !! How they gonna handle hundreds of billions of dollars in aid money ?? I guess that explains Dale's Fematorium Box tho !!

Stormin Norman has "Civilian Status" now, and has the freedom to use his abilities to get shit done, that he learned in the military, to get shit shit done in the coastal areas with the civilian contractors that are workin down there now.. The good Admiral doesnt..

Dale's second post is pretty well said and I dont think I can add much that he doesnt say himself.. At lest not without usin a bunch of cuss words and expressin a deep disgust for more folks than he does.. One thang I can add tho is, "Denial is not a defense, but buyin more ammo is" !!

Ferriners

Denny, at Grouchy Old Cipple, thats in my blogroll, invited a French kid over for dinner last nite.. The kid is in the U.S for college, and Denny has had him visit his blog and they have had numerous conversations.. Sounds like they had a good time.. I think that was a good idea too..

Thru the years my front porch has seen its share of folks from other countries and states sittin and havin a glass of water or iced tea with me.. My street in front of my house is actually a US Hiway, and is a favorite of travelers wanting to see the "REAL" State of Texas and not just the Interstate version at 80 MPH..

My street is the one that the hitchikers and the bikers and the rubberneckers take.. Theres somethin about an old guy sittin on a front porch in overalls that seems to attract folks that are interested in the area too.. They dont have to be walkin or bikin for em to stop either.. They will pull the car up to the curb and get out and talk too..

Never can tell what those folks are wantin to see here either.. I've had em want to know where just about every kind of animal can be found.. Lots are lookin for old houses and log cabins.. Some are lookin for places to go campin and huntin at.. You ever tried to give somebody directions to some place down a dirt road by usin a damn road ATLAS before ?? It can get kinda tricky.. Specially cause of the way I TAWK !! I tawk just about the same way as I type.. But, me and my visitors have always seemed to get our points across in spite of the differences in our languages..

With all the newest tech gadgets now, the front porch is gettin to be a lonely place tho.. With cell phones and laptops and GPS tracking systems to take with you wherever you go, it just dont seem to be popular to stop and B.S. with the folks on the front porches any more.. Bout all I get that stop by now are the hitchikers.. Most of them just wanna bum a smoke or a drink of water, and most of them are from the north east coast.. I often wondered why so many of them are from up there.. I have found that a lot of the bums from up there would rather winter here in the deep south.. Seems that freezin to death on a Baltimore sidewalk wasnt their choice to spend the winter months and would rather lounge in the winter sun on the coast of Texas or out in the Southwest somewhere.. They were usually good for a good story anyway..

The End Of The West

Wretchard, at "The Belmont Club", in my blogroll, has something that everybody needs to read as soon as possible.. It is about something I have been saying, more or less, for a long time.. "Self Destruction" and what folks are willing to protect with their OWN life.. Like, family, friends, property, country, honor.. Way too many dont have anything they would lay down their life for any more.. But a bunch of folks that balk and protest at the freeing of another countries masses, from tyrants and oppressors, will do violence in our own countries streets, on the very people charged with protecting THEM !! These same protesters that advocate the submission of a home owner when a CRIMINAL breaks into their home and wants to harm their family.. The protester says that you need to make it as easy as possible for the rapist, to defile your 10 year old daughter, or the burglar that wants to take your new Big Screen that your wife bought you Christmas, or steal your car.. DONT RESIST !! They say .. Huh .. I have a little mindset about it myself.. Yep, there are differences !! See Below:

Question: How do you tell the difference between Democrats, Republicans and Rednecks?
The answer can be found by posing the following question:

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock .40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What do you do?.

Democrat's Answer


Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or Oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.

This is all so confusing!

I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.
