Is It Just Me, Or Does HuffPo Suck Even More Now?

Being an info /news junkie, I try to surf around to see what is the most current news.
The Washington Post shot themselves in the foot a few years ago and I will still occasionally stop by but HuffPo seems to have jumped off a fucking cliff lately.


Hippo's mating?

7 myths about making coffee?

The Most Nutitious Ice Creams?

 Really?

There are some some decent stories and news but I keep waiting to see Bat Boy on the front page.

I am going to do something here that I really haven't done before but I am going to ask you for your own opinion instead of me giving you mine.

Where do think is your best news source?

Where do you go to get your information that shapes your opinions on world events, politics, economic news or just plain old day to day news? One thing that really pisses me off about what we get to see and hear about what is happening is what they don't report on and let me tell you now, that that is a lot.

I go to FARK every day just because their headlines are funny and there are always off beat weird news items. Not because of serious journalism, it is a nice break from the doom and gloom.

The usual suspects after that are the LAT and the NYT and more than a few sites right there on my Blogroll.
I am only one guy with so much face time available to me for surfing the web.
TPM is a left leaning political site I try to visit once in a while but Live Leak and Black Listed News are good for things you won't see from the MSM. Shit, even Al Jazeera has more about world events than anything we get to see here. Let's not forget the BBC either.
I will be completely up front here and tell you outright that the only time I watch Fox News is when I can't avoid it.
They have been documented to be outright fucking lying so many times that they have been completely discredited as a news organization with an ounce of objectivity.

So, there it is, just a partial list, I want to know where YOU go to get legitimate news that helps you form your opinions on just what the fuck is really going on in this fucked up world.

I Can't Fucking Wait

Fucking idiots.

Every motherfucking one of them involved in this manufactured crisis.

It's Friday night, they will either come up with some fucked up mess of a Goddamn fucking half measure and declare themselves American heroes or they will stay true to form and shit the bed and roll around in it and wake up pointing fingers at everyone else.

I really don't know what anyone else thinks about this fucking goat rodeo but there ain't one single cocksucking, moneygrubbing motherfucker that is in office at 11:15 P.M. on July 29th of the year of 2011 that is going to get one vote from me come election time.

As a matter of fact, after having voted every year since I was able in 19 fucking 80, all I see is it is a complete waste of my time because I can't give the dirty sonsabitches hundreds of thousands or millions of very soon to be worthless fucking dollars.

Knock yerselves out trying to find one decent sonofabitch worth voting for, the ones already in office will squeeze their balls or tits unrellentingly, doing the bidding of their big money masters.

Don't think for one fucking second that I am not going to call out their bullshit, I pay my fucking dues and every one of those jack asses is fair game.

Sunshine is quite the disinfectant and this country stinks to high heaven of rotten stinking sickness.

Remember, something about all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Heavy on the domestic lately.

Somebody needs to turn those Jack Booted Thugs at the DHS loose on those fucking assholes in Congress.

Bonus points for every "enhanced body cavity search".

Shit, we could save money and claim it under Medicare.

Sure Is Quiet Around Here.

Yeah, I know.

Been pretty busy and like a fucking dumbass, I left the charger for my little laptop at  Nasty Girls, so I have had to seriously restrict my time online.

This really sucks because I am currently enjoying free WIFI.

Shit happens.

Hopefully I will be able to do some catching up this weekend.

Let me tell you how much I have been jonesing because I am an info junkie, I had to spend a buck twenty five two days in a row to buy the local dead tree version of the news.

Major suck!


The only saving grace of that is the fucking comics.


Dead tree news is by definition, day old news.


I don't buy day old bread and I hate having to pay good money for day old news.


I know, I'm not normal and  I don't ever want to be called that.

Thanks fer stopping by.

Have summa this,

Relax For A Fucking Minute

 This is good, trust me.

Just so ya know, I always thought Steve Winwood was just a keyboard guy.

Oh, Fuck, no.

The guy is apparently a guitar master as well and this video had me with my jaw hanging open.

One more thing before we all kick back and watch an awesome performance.
Can I just say I fucking LOVE back up singers?



And yes dear, I'm looking at you, Suzanne.

Another Great Post By Someone Else

I have been trying to find something to jump start my creative juices and have been left cold and dry so I decided to put some links up to some other authors.

Some you would not necessarily think I would link to maybe but worthy of a read in my opinion.
You can't always be right about anything and sometimes taking a look at alternative viewpoints will give you a new perspective.

In this case, I think Sgt. Jarhead did a masterful job.

It really isn't political in an us VS. them way in regards to any one political party, it is more US, VS. THEM, as in all of us, getting dumbed down by the PTB for centuries and how it affects us all in these trying times.

An excellent essay in my opinion.

Please take a few moments to go read this, it is well worth your time.

Well said sir.

The Current Debt Ceiling Negotiations Explained In Under Forty Five Seconds

Notice the Main Stream Media doing their part off to the right.



It's all fucking Kabuki at this point.

Mitch "The Chin" McConnell and his brilliant cave in plan today proves this point without question.

They aren't the least bit serious, yet.

Guess Who Just Blinked In The Debt Reduction Negotiations

That's right, John Fucking Boehner.

“Despite good-faith efforts to find common ground, the White House will not pursue a bigger debt reduction agreement without tax hikes. I believe the best approach may be to focus on producing a smaller measure, based on the cuts identified in the Biden-led negotiations, that still meets our call for spending reforms and cuts greater than the amount of any debt limit increase.”

Let me clarify that for you, the republicans know damn good and well that tax hikes are not being taken off the table and now they are going into reconcilliation mode.

Well damn, color me surprised, not.

Fucking assholes.

Hey, when they go in shooting for the moon and demanding unrealistic concessions, get them, and are still not happy?

Fuck you.

Go to bed and you are not getting dinner you spoiled little fucking brats.
Now is the time to get out the switch and start whipping their asses until they scream for mercy.

Rotten fucking bastards were all too willing to let our government default on the debt that THEIR fucking party saddled us with and when it comes down to the perspective of just who is going to wind up with a flaming bag of dog shit in their hand if that actually happened,, they fucking blinked.

The official policy of our government is that we do not negotiate with terrorists.
As far as I am concerned, the Republican party most certainly falls under that category by definition.

So, now that Cantor, Boehner and the rest of their ilk have been holding our country hostage over these budget talks and someone finally clued them in to what might actually happened if we default, my money is on some fucking asshole in the banking industry finally putting some facts in front of their asses and pointing out some of the probable consequences if that were to actually happen.

This time, it wouldn't be just the poor and middle class who would be getting an uninvited finger up the ass and God forbid the rich should contribute to the cause, which is exactly why Boehner got trotted out for some negotiating finally.

Fuck you very much, peckerhead.

The Future Is Here

No, I'm not talking about this,

Flying cars, meh, that is so yesterday.
No, I am talking about this,



How fucking cool is that?!
If you can imagine it and can get it on a computer, that thing can make it.
The possibilities are endless.
Have a rare antique part that no one makes anymore?
Clean it up, have it scanned and presto changeO, there ya go, a plastic replica that can be used to make a mold for a new casting.

That thing is off the charts cool.

H/T my friend Suzanne and my Cousin Tom who both sent me a link to the video within two minutes of each other.

Senator Inhofe Is A Dangerous Motherfucker.

I'm not just talking about his retarded right wing political views either.

It is well known that he is a backwards assed ignorant fucking cracker, his denial of Global Warming is legendary.
He probably thinks the sun revolves around a flat earth too. Ignorant fuck.

No, I am talking real life, danger to the public kind of shit here and the glaringly obvious truth that laws are for little people .

Inhofe "Scared The Crap Out Of" Airport Workers

FAA: Senator intentionally landed on closed runway

This happened last October.

Shortly after Inhofe landed, Sidney Boyd, who was supervising construction on the closed runway, called the FAA to report that Inhofe’s plane, a twin-engine six-seater, initially touched down on the runway and then “'sky hopped' over the six vehicles and personnel working on the runway, and then landed.”
During the call, which was recorded by the FAA, Boyd said Inhofe’s antics “scared the crap out of” workers, adding that the Cessna “damn near hit” a red truck. Referring to the vehicle’s driver, Boyd added, “I think he actually wet his britches, he was scared to death. I mean, hell, he started trying to head for the side of the runway. The pilot could see him, or he should have been able to, he was right on him.”
Boyd also said that Inhofe showed little contrition following the close call. “He come over here and started being like, 'What the hell is this? I was supposed to have unlimited airspace.'”

snip
My emphasis.

Even better;

In a bid to avoid “legal enforcement action,” Inhofe, who has a commercial pilot’s license, agreed to “complete a program of remedial training,” according to an FAA letter sent in January to Inhofe, a third-term Republican senator from Oklahoma.

My bold.

Instead of having his license yanked and facing criminally negligent and reckless endangerment  charges, they pussed out and made him take some fucking remedial fucking rules of the road while flying lessons kind of lame assed shit.

I call Bullshit in a big motherfucking way.

Oh, it gets even better. Take a gander at this fucking horseshit, he has enough balls to go after the FAA for inconveniencing his highness.

Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) is pushing a bill that would protect pilots from "agency overreach" by the Federal Aviation Administration, in response to his own experience at the mercy of the FAA after he "scared the crap out of" airport workers last year when he landed his Cessna on a closed runway.
"I was never fully appreciative of the feeling of desperation until it happened to me," he said.

Yeah, after ya fucking near killed an entire construction crew and hop scotched over SIX fucking vehicles while trying to land at an obviously closed runway.

Cry me a fucking river you pretentious fucking asshole.

Jesus Christ, his sense of entitlement is off the charts.

Saving the best for last, feast your eyes on the most blatant case of out right ass kissing in recent memory,

AOPA president, Craig Fuller said his group, "applauds Senator Inhofe" for introducing the legislation and "giving the aviation community much greater certainty about the process of enforcing the regulations by which we fly." Fuller added, "we look forward to working with Senator Inhofe" in support of the bill. EAA president Rod Hightower said, "This bill addresses several inequalities that hamper the ability of aviators to even obtain the necessary information to defend themselves." EAA added its gratitude to the 24 Senators who stood in support of the bill. Said Hightower, EAA "is strongly supportive" of the bill "and urges its members to rally behind the measure." 

I seriously want to puke in my shoes after reading that.

I also want to see Inhofe involuntarily retired at the first opportunity.

The self righteous motherfucker almost killed a whole construction crew because he believes he can do whatever the fuck he wants, when he wants.

That he got off with literally a slap on the wrist should be enough to infuriate the good folks at the FAA but oh fuck no, someone got their arm twisted real good and off he goes.

Remember, laws are for little people, just in case you had forgotten.

What A Surprise

I can actually write a post without a single curse word.

Please, give me a break.

Sorry to burst any bubbles but I can actually articulate my musings without the need for expletives when I so desire.

I have to admit it isn't near as fun but I thought maybe something a little different was called for on the Fourth.

No one need worry that I am going to get all highbrow here but it was nice to actually put something together for a change that had a little depth to it without resorting to calling anyone a serial fellatio artist, even though plenty of those who I mentioned are most definitely dirty rotten male children of female dogs if you catch my drift.

Anyway, thanks fer stopping by.

The Fourth of July

Once again we have managed to survive another year since the anniversary of the Declaration of our Independence from Mother England was announced.

Today, we struggle to recognize what has become of such a remarkable struggle for our independence.

Our Bill of Rights has been gutted and our government regularly conducts business in direct violation of the Constitution that each and every public servant has sworn to uphold.

Illegal search and seizure is an everyday occurrence thousands of times a day.

We are not secure in our effects and papers, our very own government illegally spies on it's own citizens with impunity and complete confidence that there will be no legal ramifications.

Our Supreme Court of the land has given Carte Blanche to the business interests in this country when it comes to host of issues critical to the election of our representatives clear to and including allowing corporations with unlimited funds to spend those unlimited funds to literally buy legislation and the politicians who craft them with impunity.

Those same politicians are now sitting on their hands as we find the housing crisis is rife with fraudulent mortgages and millions of these fraudulent mortgages have thrown into question just who actually owns the title to these homes and people are being thrown out in the street.

Yet there is no rush to investigate and prosecute this criminal activity.


None.

Just as no one is currently sitting in a prison cell over the massive fraud and manipulation of our banking industry which nearly collapsed the entire world economy.

Our economy is in shambles and our elected officials are now playing a dangerous game of chicken over raising our debt ceiling, for the first time in our history, they are willing to completely destroy our fragile economy for political reasons.

Unemployment is still over nine percent and wages have stagnated for the last forty years, unless you happen to be in the top one percentile, which control twenty five percent of the assets in this country.

I sincerely hope everyone reading this has reasons to celebrate this day and gets to spend some quality time with friends and relatives.
BBQ is the order of the day for millions of Americans and the requisite fireworks display later this evening.

Our American Revolution is but a distant memory but we still have much work to do to right the wrongs that have come to dominate our existence as the greatest country on the planet.

I have been ranting and railing about the injustices I perceive to be thrust upon us by the very people who are supposed to have our best interests at heart for the last six years and I will not let these domestic atrocities go unnoticed and unspoken as long as I am able.

I am proud to say that there are hundreds of thousands, even millions of my fellow Americans that feel the same and call out misdeeds when they are exposed.

Accountability is a word that needs to be stressed repeatedly until it becomes a mantra.

The avarice and greed running rampant in our hallowed halls needs to be rooted out and exterminated if we are to survive as a viable country lest we become a nation of serfs doing the bidding of a select few who control who and what we see, hear, eat and drink and how we communicate amongst ourselves.

Have a safe and Happy Fourth folks.

Gadhafi Talking Shit, Again.

Apparently the miserable fuck is feeling the heat of hundreds of air strikes we have been pounding him with. It's not bad enough he is now wanted by the Hague for war crimes against his own countrymen, now he is threatening Europe.

Get a fucking clue dude.

- A defiant Moammar Gadhafi threatened Friday to carry out attacks in Europe against "homes, offices, families," unless NATO halts its campaign of airstrikes against his regime in Libya.
The Libyan leader, sought by the International Criminal Court for brutally crushing an uprising against him, delivered the warning in an audio message played to thousands of supporters gathered in the main square of the capital Tripoli.

snip

"These people (the Libyans) are able to one day take this battle ... to Europe, to target your homes, offices, families, which would become legitimate military targets, like you have targeted our homes," he said.
"We can decide to treat you in a similar way," he said of the Europeans. "If we decide to, we are able to move to Europe like locusts, like bees. We advise you to retreat before you are dealt a disaster."

You do that, there buster.

If and when any of your fervent followers get back, you won't be there to welcome them home as heroes.

It's a matter of time until his government collapses and he high tails it the fuck out of there just like Bumarak did in Egypt. His days of saber rattling are coming to an end, there are just too many forces aligned against him.

What will become of  Lybia after his timely departure is yet to be seen but it is a pretty sure bet that he has pretty much shot his wad.

All I can say is that it is about fucking time.
His sorry ass should have been yanked off the world stage twenty fucking years ago.

Achmed! Did You Not Get My Jihadist E Mail?

Why in the hell this isn't a 24/7 effort is beyond me but for once I can say that a bunch of fucking hackers did good.

WASHINGTON — Computer hackers shut down al-Qaida's ability to communicate its messages to the world through the Internet, interrupting the group's flow of videos and communiqués, according to a terrorism expert.

Snip

"Al-Qaida's online communications have been temporarily crippled, and it does not have a single trusted distribution channel available on the Internet," said Evan Kohlmann, ofFlashpoint Global Partners, which monitors the group's communications. 

British newspapers reported earlier this month that the the UK government hacked into an al-Qaida website last year and inserted recipes for making cupcakes in place of instructions on how to build bombs. 

Go ahead and double up on the Saltpeter though boys.

Kohlmann said the latest incident "once again appears to bear the telltale fingerprints of government-sponsored hackers." 

I would have to think we must have some of our best and brightest trying to throw a monkey wrench into the gears when it comes to disrupting communications between Al and the Queada's on a constant basis.

More of this please.

Update;

Speaking of fucked up internet, Blogger was buggered all fucking night last night and tried to eat this post twice. I managed to save it, barely and said fuck it.

For those who are not aware, I also have a Wordpress site as a back up.
It is also called Ornery Bastard.
Ya might as well book mark it too as it seems Blogger is getting more and more unstable.

Blagojevich Slated For River Tour

As in going up the river.

Blago just got butt slammed and convicted of 17 out twenty corruption charges.
He is going away for the foreseeable future, as in ten to twenty, at least.

Good.

Skeevy motherfucker.

By Bob Secter and Jeff Coen Chicago Tribune

June 27, 2011, 12:33 p.m.

Reporting from Chicago—

A federal jury today convicted former Gov. Rod Blagojevich on 17 of 20 counts, finding he brazenly abused the powers of his office in a series of attempted shakedowns captured on undercover government recordings.

snip

This marks the second time in less than a year that the 54-year-old Blagojevich, the only Illinois chief executive ever impeached and ousted from office, had been convicted of a crime. The jury at his first trial last summer found him guilty of lying to theFBI, though that panel deadlocked on all the other counts. That impasse set the stage for a retrial.

This time the verdict was unequivocal, with the jury of 11 women and one man finding Blagojevich guilty on 17 criminal counts he faced, including charges of wire fraud, attempted extortion, bribery and conspiracy. The marquee charge in the case involved an attempt by Blagojevich in late 2008 to cash in on his power to name a replacement in theU.S. Senate for newly electedPresident Barack Obama.

snip

Testifying in his own defense, Blagojevich claimed prosecutors had twisted his words recorded on secret government wiretaps and insisted he was guilty of nothing more than thinking out loud. What’s more, Blagojevich’s lawyers emphasized, none of the illegal plots he was accused of hatching ever came to fruition.

Yeah, that's it, just thinking out loud and Look!, Nothing happened!

Fucking scumbag.

We all know  most politicians are fucking weasel scumbags who would sell their own mother into slavery to hold on to power but this fucknut was a big time Democrat who thought he had a tiger by the tail and could get away with anything he wanted.
Wrong.

Let this be an example for you back room dealing fuckers.

I would have liked to have seen a raft of charges  drawn up against a whole bunch of other skeevy fuckers that were involved with this but apparently they are content with Blagojevich.

Another thing I would like to see is Blago being thrown in with the general population down in Joliette instead of the relative safety and comfort that they seem to reserve for white collar and political inmates.

Either way, he is all done now.

Who's next?

TSA and VIPR

First off, watch this video and let me say that these pussy motherfuckers do not belong in my country.




Then read this fucking horseshit;

BROWNSVILLE - Random car and truck inspections are wrapping up at the Port of Brownsville.

The Transportation Security Administration hit the streets checking for any potential threats to the port. It's called Operation Viper.

A spokesperson says TSA is checking all private and commercial vehicles coming in and out of the port. They’re doing thorough inspections and using K9s.

We're told this is a random operation and not in response to any specific threat.

My emphasis,

Link here.

Excuse the fuck out of me?

How many times do we have to lament the demise of our Fourth Amendment rights?
That many.

An illegal search, an illegal detention and an illegal road block to do it, all funded by us with money funneled to the TSA.

Fuck that, fuck them and fuck the motherfuckers who think they can just get away with this shit.

It isn't just planes trains, ferries , subways and big trucks, which they oh, so politely begged to differ when we told them it was illegal, now it is your fucking car.
Coming out of a port.

How would anyone even remotely involved in terrorism get near a port?
They don't have an answer.

I can fucking tell you.

You can't even get NEAR a port without passing several security check points, and a FEDERAL IDENTIFICATION CARD.

Neither in, nor out.

It is a huge power grab on their part and they can lick my fucking balls if they think I am, for one fucking second, " going to take their word for it".

Can you say "POLICE STATE"?

It Never Stops

Tax breaks, tax breaks, tax breaks. That's all I hear in between the bed squeaking from the ass fucking we are getting at every other turn.

Unions bad, a whopping ten percent of the work force,Medicare,Medicade, Social Security, the Wic Program, unemployment, ad fucking nauseum.

Now Big Business is wanting to bring a few BILLION dollars back to the US and what do you think their demands are?
Tax cuts.

In the first place, American business are already sitting on ONE TRILLION dollars in cash, they are trying to claim their intentions are as pure as the driven snow and they want to stimulate the economy.

Why is it the back of my legs just got a chill like someone ripped the covers off?


Because they pulled this shit before.


The NYT actually does a good job of exposing their true motives and if you go read that article, I guarran-fucking-tee ya, you will be just as pissed as I am.
Lying, skeezy cock fucking suckers.

They want a tax holiday so they can bring that money back here and find ways to fuck us some more.
A tax holiday from a 35% rate on Billions, to down to just over 5%

And, you just know, those rotten fucking pricks win Congress will stick their hands out and be glad to help.

Spit

H/T

15 minutes of Fame and a broken nose is coming

This fucking asshole is courting danger.
Andy fucking Breitbart is lucky they didn't let him in.
I will give the fuckhead credit, he has some balls but I wouldn't give him a big chance of walking into a passel of Progressives again, uninvited and leave unharmed.

There are those of us who are not tree hugging pacifist fucking pussies.
Take my word for it.
Ya want to be a headline seeking attention whore, by all means, go for it.
Playing gotcha games the way he has been lately is going to have repercussions.

The guy is a fucking scumbag and is doing all he can to get himself some notoriety points.
Typical attention whore tactics.

Careful what you wish for asshole.
You just might get it.

Sounds Familiar

Employee: "Excuse me sir, may I talk to you?" Boss: "Sure, come on in. What can I do for you?" Employee: "Well sir, as you know, I have been an employee of this prestigious firm for over ten years". Boss: "Yes".  Employee: I won't beat around the bush. Sir, I would like a raise. I currently have four companies after me and so I decided to talk to you first".

Boss: "A raise? I would love to give you a raise, but this is just not the right time".
Employee: "I understand your position, and I know that the current economic down turn has had a negative impact on sales, but you must also take into consideration my hard work, pro-activeness and loyalty to this company for over a decade".

Boss: "Taking into account these factors, and considering I don't want to start a brain drain, I'm willing to offer you a ten percent raise and an extra five days of vacation time. How does that sound?" Employee: "Great! It's a deal! Thank you, sir!"

Boss: "Before you go, just out of curiosity, what companies were after you?" Employee: "Oh, the Electric Company, Gas Company, Water Company and the Mortgage Company!" 

All jokes aside, this is too close to the truth for too damn many people these days.

I'm An Asshole

I know, I get it, it's just the way I am.

I can be charming when I want to be, that just isn't very often anymore.

Thanks fer stopping by.

Here It Comes

Oh fer chrissakes.
My lovely bride to be has changed the date to go tell her parents three fucking times because she is afraid of their reaction.

Fuck.  That.

Goddammit, at 48 years old, you  just tell them, they have no say at that point and will be glad, or not.  Let that be an example to the other two daughters.

Jayzuss.

Now I all of a sudden, at one phone call, have to get presentable and drive clear into another state and try to behave myself, not an easy set of tasks.

Not going to happen.

Behaving myself could be a problem.

I would have to think a case of the nerves would be normal, not.

I am what I am .

Have a nice fucking day.

Weiner Goes Limp

After getting pounded by the media, Anthony Weiner is going to step down.

I am still waiting for Vitters resignation after admitting SEVERAL YEARS AGO, that he had used the services of a prostitute.
Apparently, I am going to continue to wait.

It is all to true in this fucking political climate, IOKIYAR.


Hypocritical motherfuckers.

Update;

You attack dogs on the right wing media are going to get what you have coming and I can't fucking wait.

Money can't buy happiness, just hot tubs, bigger tits, fancy cars, hookers and a waiting period.

Our Governemt At Work

The FBI can scan your electronics and rummage through your garbage without a warrant, beacause, get this;

Charlie Savage of The New York Times writes today that the new rules aim to give agents more latitude in investigating persons or organizations for signs of criminal or terrorist activity and cut down on cumbersome record-keeping.


My bold.

And, the fucking CIA can't protect it's own website from hackers, neither can the Senate apparently and Anthony Weiners dick is still all you hear about.

These are the people tasked with our national security, who have been data mining our friends, relatives and those kooky fucking right winger militia types, let's not forget those pesky Amish either, since Stupie McFuckwit and his crew of fuck ups ignored the intelligence TELLING them, that an attack on American soil was imminint, right before the dumb cocksucker got engrossed in a grade school book called My Pet Goat.

TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO!

Ten years these people have been spying on us and they are so good at what they do they get their very own website hacked.

My confidence in their abilities just hurtled leaps and bounds, right off a fucking cliff.

Ever heard of Norton fellas?

Keerist.

Ho Hum, just another day in our glorious new Amerika.

The New And Improved, Alternate Brain

Sure, I'm offline for a few days and Fixer decides to change a bunch of shit, like the entire layout of his at least, seven year old Blog.

Go give him a hard time , leave a comment or two and let him know that if his wife can't keep him busy enough with honey do's, we will be forced to send a list.
BTW, he is rebuilding his Blogroll, put in a good word, will ya?

Thank You

Someone went over the top and sent a very nice donation to the cause and I wanted to thank them.
You know who you are and so do I, you should be getting an email from me thanking you.

Other than that, there isn't a whole lot I can say about much of anything.
Been pissing the girl friend off, just for practice.

Ain't beern online so I have no idea of what the fuck is going on out there and for once, I could really give a shit.

It's pretty much all a dog and pony show anyway.
I should be headed towards the Weasel Den here at the end of the week only to turn right around and drive two hundred fucking miles again to get back here., maybe by then I can find something to rant about.

BTW honey, smooches, I loves ya dear.

Did I Forget To Mention?

I really, really, truly fucking HATE weddings?


Especially my own..

Thank goodness I am not overly involved with this one either.
The one saving grace of being a guy.

So far, my instructions are;
 show up, sober, in a suit.

Two out of three anyone?

Don't Believe In Anyone

Curse the day that you were born.

Help Wanted, No Morals,Scruples or Honesty Required.

Just call the hot line to Newt Gingrich's campaign headquarters.

I am laughing so fucking hard right now my sides hurt.
It has to be pretty bad when skeezebags leave your campaign in droves, I can't wait to see what is really behind this story, it must be juicy.
Either way, this whole run up to the next election has train wreck written all over it for those dumbshits.

After Caribou Barbie's latest gaffe about  Paul Revere  riding around the countryside trying to warn the British, this is just delicious.

Can you say circular firing squad?

I can, in between snickers and shots.

No connection

Thank you all so much for your well wishes, it humbles me to know that you are out there and care enough to share with me.

As  you can see, I have been off line for a while.

When I can,I will get on here and put something up.
In the mean time, just keep checking in.

Thanks fer stopping by and thanks again.

Dey It Is

I asked the woman to marry me.
She didn't have anything to club me with, I looked real good first.
So, Dey it is. She thought I was kidding.
Tentavely scheduled for August 21st.

Please welcome Mrs. Ornery Bastard, Nasty Girl.

A match made in Heaven.

Smooch honey.

I'm a lucky motherfucker.

Attention, Washington. Oregon area Vets

Hello.
It's me, the Ornery Bastard.
 I have a request.

There is a local drive for funds and kitchen appliances here in the Vancouver Washington area.
My heart goes out to the folks in the tornado destruction area and I know funds are tight.

My prayers  go out to those folks.
I don't often get off my soap box but if you are in the Pacific NorthWest, there be a bunch of our youngest and finest that could use a bit of help also.

This is something awefully cheap. some of our boys and gals just want some things like coffee creamer.

Really?
Bus tickets?
That's about a buck and a half.

Towels, kitchen appliances, microwaves, pillows and pillow cases, Really?

Basics?

I don't have shit and I just donated twenty bucks.

Some of these heroes and their families are fucking homeless.

No, that is not acceptable

For the price of a fucking Pepsi, you can stand proud and help one of these families, they are families and they absolutely deserve the help a price of a Pepsi  will give them.

From what I am seeing, just a fucking bus ticket for a vet to  get across town is severely needed.
If you can help one of our own, give this gal a call;
Toni Davis,
Voluntary Service Specialist@
360-690-1842
I am sure she would pee down her leg to find out some jerk who calls himself the Ornery Bastard sent ya.

I am not  really flush but I threw twenty bucks at 'em.

One dollar, one unused microwave,anything to help these vets and their families will go a long way.

Where Do They Find These Fucking Idiots?

Really.


Congressman Says Trees Are Bad For The Planet.

And no, it isn't that stupid fuck Inhofe this time.

California's Dana Rohrabacher says that if we really want to cool the planet, we should get rid of those harmful trees.

 You know damn good and well this fucktard is a Republican.

You would think that being voted into a very high office in the United States Government in this day and age would involve prospective politicians with some degree of common knowledge, a bit of perspective and some common fucking sense.

Apparently not.

Speaking to the top American climate diplomat, Todd Stern, Rohrabacher asked, "Is there some thought being given to subsidizing the clearing of rainforests in order for some countries to eliminate that production of greenhouse gases?" Rohrabacher went on, asking, “Would people be supportive of cutting down older trees in order to plant younger trees as a means to prevent this disaster from happening?"

snip

Darren Samuelsohn interviewed Jay Gulledge of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, who said that while it is true that 80 to 90 percent of gross greenhouse gases come from nature, Rohrabacher's understanding of the emissions process — and science for that matter — is questionable. "How he's using it is totally off the wall," Gulledge said. "It's beyond the pale. It makes no sense."

Let me be clear here, this guy is a fucking MORON!

I would bet a hundred bucks that this fucking idiot doesn't know that the Sahara Desert used to be a sub tropical paradise.
Anyone with an IQ over their shoe size knows what happens when you cut down too many trees in a certain environmental zone, the top layer of soil goes away and the local climate changes.
The next thing you have is a desert.

Dude, cutting down trees is the answer to our problems?
Halleluja! We are SAVED!

Fuck me, there must be over a billion trees in this state, let's start here!

Think of the economic boom!

Thousands of out of work lumberjacks, log truck drivers, saw mills and ships to take those pesky fuckers somewhere else, all working 24/7 to cut down all those trees to save the planet!

Genius.

Then we can all stand around and watch every inch of top soil get washed off the hills and clog up all our rivers and wonder why there is no wildlife in our hills and no fish in our rivers, why we have nothing but mud and dust to eat.

Did he not ever hear of the Dust Bowl back in the 30's?

Holy fucking Christ I am sick of dealing with elected officials who are dumber than a box of rusty hammers.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, there ya are.

One box and one rusty hammer.

It's Worse Than We Thought

That fucking Patriot Act, where our government spies on us illegally and actually collects and stores information about it's own citizens, is up for for reauthorization again.
This time, Senator Ron Wyden (D) (Or), says it is even more nefarious than we thought.

You may think you understand how the Patriot Act allows the government to spy on its citizens. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) says it’s worse than you’ve heard.
Congress is set to reauthorize three controversial provisions of the surveillance law as early as Thursday. But Wyden says that what Congress will renew is a mere fig leaf for a far broader legal interpretation of the Patriot Act that the government keeps to itself — entirely in secret. Worse, there are hints that the government uses this secret interpretation to gather what one Patriot-watcher calls a “dragnet” for massive amounts of information on private citizens; the government portrays its data-collection efforts much differently.

“We’re getting to a gap between what the public thinks the law says and what the American government secretly thinks the law says,” Wyden tells Danger Room in an interview in his Senate office. “When you’ve got that kind of a gap, you’re going to have a problem on your hands.”
What exactly does Wyden mean by that? As a member of the intelligence committee, he laments that he can’t precisely explain without disclosing classified information. But one component of the Patriot Act in particular gives him immense pause: the so-called “business-records provision,” which empowers the FBI to get businesses, medical offices, banks and other organizations to turn over any “tangible things” it deems relevant to a security investigation.

snip

Here is the link to the WIRED article.

There is much more there.

Basically, Wyden and Udahl filed an amendment wanting the Fed.Gov to disclose the reasons why it thinks it can secretly reinterpret the provisions of the Patriot Act and not tell anyone.
The point here is that Wyden isn't upset so much that they are doing it, he want's them to explain where they get this authority.

From the article;

The amendment, first reported by Marcy Wheeler, blasts the administration for “secretly reinterpret[ing] public laws and statutes.” It would compel the Attorney General to “publicly disclose the United States Government’s official interpretation of the USA Patriot Act.” And, intriguingly, it refers to “intelligence-collection authorities” embedded in the Patriot Act that the administration briefed the Senate about in February.

Wyden says he “can’t answer” any specific questions about how the government thinks it can use the Patriot Act. That would risk revealing classified information — something Wyden considers an abuse of government secrecy. He believes the techniques themselves should stay secret, but the rationale for using their legal use under Patriot ought to be disclosed.

My emphasis.

First off, let me say that Marcy Wheeler amazes me beyond words. I adore that lady.
She digs through the stuff our government doesn't want us to know every. damn. day.
Has for years.
I would nominate that lady for Attorney General in a heart beat, she is fucking AWESOME!

Secondly, I admire Wyden, he is actually one of the good guys.
I have followed him for more than two decades, maybe three at this point.
I moved to Washington from Oregon in 91 and he was in office then as a Representative.

This must be his way of putting some sunshine on some seriously nasty practices being employed while at the same time covering his ass.

What ever the reasons, it must be really fucking nasty what these assclowns are doing.

The Patriot Act should be allowed to die an undignified death.
It goes against our Fourth Amendment rights, word for word.

Believe this though, I got the link to Wired from Fark, the word is out and nobody and I mean nobody, in the government, is going to ignore Marcy Wheeler.
She is a force to be reckoned with and they fucking know it.
She has scooped the NYT, WAPO and every other major newspaper in this country before and I predict she will do it again.
She deserves a Pulitzer for investigative journalism.

Good on ya honey.

There is a God

Click on it twice.
Can the new Far Side be soon behind?

Update, LMAO, I so got busted swiping this from someone else.

What Day Is It?

Holy fuck, I'm still alive, barely.
Twelve and thirteen hour days all last week and just for fun, on Friday, I worked from six A.M. to seven P.M., went to the portable domicile and ate something, laid down and finally fell asleep about nine thirty.
Got woke up at Midnight, was on the jobsite at Twelve thirty and worked straight through until I finally couldn't go anymore at eight fucking thirty Saturday night.
I drove over six hundred miles  last week to boot.
My crazy assed little brother worked thirty four hours straight finishing the job.
I couldn't do it.
Fuuuuuck me, am I tired and sore.
Now I get to drive for three and a half hours today so I can go whine and snivel in the arms of my sweetie.

Now ya know why it has been so quiet around here.
I get off work, have a few shots, eat something and fall the fuck down, rinse and repeat.

It might be a day or so before I start feeling human again so keep stopping by, I'm sure there will be something or other that I need to pound the keyboard about.

Whupped V2.0

MOMMY!

A whole nuther adventure tomorrow.

There is something to be said for having work but I am really looking forward to next week.
I have picked up, moved, put on a truck, driven sixty five miles one way and unloaded, three thousand fucking pounds of cardboard in two days.
That is as much as your car weighs.

Three hundred and fifty miles back and forth.

Tired?

Pain is my friend.

It might be a day or so.....

Whupped

I am very much looking forward to seeing my sweetie.
I think she is going to need to help me out of my truck when I get there.
It could be a few days until I can come up with a coherent post.

Leave Us The Account Numbers

Because, ya know, ya can't take it with ya.
According to some, who need that special recipe for Kool aid that Jim Jones left behind, next Saturday is the Rapture.
For those non Christians, it is the day that Only God knows when, he will take into Heaven, his chosen few.
Something like a hundred and forty four thousand believers.
That leaves out  a few million Newt Gingrich's and sinners like me..
According to my very fucked up memory of the doings of the Catholic church, you can be forgiven for every mortal sin ever described by either going to confession or getting your last rights given to you you by a priest just before you die. They also aren't shy about twisting your arm for a few bucks.

Seeings how I wasn't Baptized until I was a ten year old, I am holding out for the last minute. I know damn good and well I am going to be broke anyway.
Twenty thousand Hail Mary's, really? I have been a very naughty boy. I haven't been to Confession in over forty years, something about the separation between church and state, I plead the fifth.
 Just fer shits and grins, I was actually an Altar Boy in a Catholic school/church, in the third and fourth grade.
You have heard stories about Catholic Girls, they were mostly chaste, except the ones who weren't. God love ya, ya little honies, it made it worth going to school. I fondly remember getting caught with another guy and six, almost chaste, little girls under the stage in the gym.
The beatings commenced for me and that guy, the girls had their own nightmares to deal with, those Nuns were some mean sonsabitches.

Any way, I hear such that we are about to be entertained by Newt Gingrich and his run for the Presidency. 

I hear he converted to Catholicism.
If there is even one of those Nuns still alive where I went to school at, I am going to do a fund drive to send her to find him and I will hand carve a stick for her to beat him with.

While You Have Your Pen Out...

Most of the Bush 43 administration should be penned in for an invitation.
Seriously.

I'm in some RV park with my brother.

I'm tellin' ya, I am feeling like transient lately.
From here to there and back again every week or two.
Lot's and lot's of driving involved.
I have some long days ahead of me so blogging might get a bit scarce around here.
You can always find something interesting on the old blogroll though, that's what it is for.

Thanks fer stopping by.

One Guy Named George I Actually Like.

So should you.

Torture Apologists Should Go Directly To Jail

They should have already been there for years.

That they aren't speaks volumes to me.


Assholes like John Yoo and Alberto Gonzalez who were directly responsible for wringing  the Constitution and The Geneva Conventions into wore out dish rags should be at the head of the line.

David Addington, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfield and Condoleeza Rice should be next.
One very special cell should be reserved for G.W.Bush, who is ultimately responsible for letting it happen in the first place, should be readied immediately.
Let us not forget Mr. Jose Rodriguez Jr, who was responsible for the destruction of the tapes made while the torture was happening, against orders by Congress to preserve them and also walked away scott free.

Jose Rodriguez Jr. was the leader of counterterrorism for the C.I.A. from 2002-2005 when Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and other Al Qaeda leaders were captured. He told Time magazine that the recent events show that President Obama should not have banned so-called enhanced interrogation techniques. (Mr. Rodriguez, you may remember, ordered the destruction of interrogation videos.)

I keep seeing these fiendish bastards in the headlines, defending the indefencible and trying to give credit to Bush for the death of Bin Ladin.
I remember what he said, and what he did back then.
Shit like "Bring It On", " Dead Or Alive", yadda yadda yadda.

Give me a fucking break, will ya?


Even The NYT slammed their positions.

No, these people are criminals and should not even been given the opportunity to continue spouting their lies in nationally syndicated news sources.
They should be having daylight pumped into their cells from a long ways away.

They have repeatedly been discredited and should have no say in what is being done to clean up the World Wide Catastrophe they left behind when they finally got their sick fucking presence thrown out of office and the full extend of that disaster started coming to light.

They should be shunned from the public discourse at the very least.

As Usual. What Digby Said

I know I have never linked to this brilliant lady and it is way the hell overdue, but she drills the nail on the head with a big fucking hammer here.

Good on ya .

Excuse me?

 Bush has been out of office for two and a half years and still can't figure out how to lift the lid on a toilet.

OMG, 9/11. Taliban,McChrystal,,

Anyway, this chapter of American History is over.
Done.

 Good.

Bonus round, My sister in law, what a sweetie, caught this screen grab from Fox Fucking News and sent it to me;

USAMA.

Idiots.

Bonus round, I told my brother that the fucking media was going to blow this up to equate the end of World War two and I will be damned if they didn't do exactly that.

Brian Fucking Williams @ NBC, did exactly that.

Excuse the fuck out of me,  One dead mother fucker is equal to four years of world wide war and hundreds of thousands of human beings being killed in horrific ways?
Really?

BTW, Fuck you Cheney, Fuck you Rumsfield and fuck all of you sonsabitches that lied to our faces.
 RIP Pat Tillman and all the other American servicemen and women who have been killed for their lies and Please take away the pain and suffering of the wounded.
 From all sides.
The Collateral damages.
These cocksuckers are guilty of ordering the death and suffering of over a half a million people, because of one guy.

Never, ever, forget that.
