Ornery Bastards New Digs

Yep, I have moved to Wordpress, finally.
This place has been good to me, I have to say.
Follow the link below to get to the brand new shiny home for my ranting and raving.

Ornery Bastard V2.0

I would like to thank everyone for their support and valued friendship while I was trying to learn the ropes.It's been a blast and I am hoping to take full advantage of the opportunities that are sure to come in the future to help get this country back on track and in trustworthy hands again.

Please update your Blogroll to reflect the change of address and I hope to see you all soon at the new place.

Although I have moved most of the old posts to the new place, I am going to leave this Blogspot right where it's at for archival purposes.

Busted.

P.S.
The Blogroll update should be complete now.
If you do not see your place on the new Blogroll leave me a reminder in the comments over there and I will rectify that immediately.
Anyone who wants to exchange Blogroll links, let me know there too.


Once again, THANK YOU for stopping by.

ROWR!

To make up for not posting anything about cats on Caturday, I am going to add two of my favorite kitty spots to my Blogroll.
First up is an at least twice daily look at I Can Has Cheezeburger, otherwise known as Lolcats.
If you haven't been to this place yet, you are doing something very wrong on the internets.

The next one is one of my personal favorites,Watertiger, at Dependable Renegade. This lady knocks me out with her wit and snark.She falls under the Kitty category for her name and she likes cats too,BIG CATS.
To be fair, she likes the little guy's too.

Watertiger's picture captioning abilities are beyond par, she cracks me up constantly.
I always get a kick out of her skewering the latest idiot that makes the mistake of getting in her crosshairs.This is another place I always check in on a couple times a day usually just to make sure I haven't missed an instant classic in the making.
She is a sweetheart and I am honored that she considers me one of her internet buddies.This is way overdue.

We Have Target Aquisition

It's looking like McStain is the De Facto Republican nominee.
Think Progress is reporting that the Squirrel Muncher, Huckabee, is dropping out and that McStain is heading to Mafia Central to swear the oath of Omerta and get Don Stupie's blessing.
It is time my friends and compatriots, to chain George Walker Bush to John McCain in unholy matrimony until death do they part.
McCain is about to find out just how many citizens in this country have HAD ENOUGH.
His willingness to embrace the morally bankrupt Bush policies and actually RUN on the promise of continuing these batshit insane policies must be used like a pile driver to crush his candidacy into the ground.We must now prepare to counter the Mighty Wurlitzer and the whole of the main stream media who have been breathlessly waiting for this moment to unleash their propaganda at our nation in their reprehensible and irresponsible desire to sway the American voter.
I can absolutely guarantee you that this campaign just went into carpet bombing mode.

I want everyone to be extremely vigilant in watching for the media to be slipping subtle articles and blurbs here and there supporting McCain.
McCain has serious money problems and advertising costs money, tons of it.
This is really just the beginning of McCain's campaign and he already has money trouble?
Bet yer ass the media is going to help him out in every way they can, they are after all, nothing more than an extension of the Republican party and the propaganda arm that so willingly has aided and abetted the destruction of our civil rights.
You watch, the print media is just as horrible as Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck,it's just a different medium to transmit their message.
Remember what has really happened in this country under Republican rule and FIGHT BACK!

Happy Birthday One Fly!

March 4th is my friend One Fly's Birthday, go give him some Birthday love over at Outta The Cornfield.

Busted!

Yeah, me, as in caught.The cat is out of the bag, after I thought I dropped it off far enough away nobody would see it again.

Right after the first of the year I got a wild hair up my ass and started experimenting with starting a move to Wordpress as a platform.

Oh what a mistake! That thing has more bells and whistles than a competition version of the 747 Jumbo Jet!

My second birthday is coming up here and I all too well remember what a complete noobie I was when it came to knowing the first fucking thing about Blogging.

Lets just be polite here and say I have come a long way since then.
I do believe in trying to move to Wordpress I highlighted my lack of knowledge about writing code and building websites with the light of a thousand suns.

I would have deleted my attempt and completely hidden my failures except I knew damn good and well if I did that and tried to restart it new again I would have been denied the use of the name Ornery Bastard because it had already been used as a Wordpress website, so I just abandoned it and forgot all about it.
Not Teh Google though, it doesn't forget. And if you Google Ornery Bastard, you will find that the Wordpress site comes up way before this place, as I learned earlier, the hard way.
But good old Skippy found it, and he linked to it!
Yikes!
Someday I am hoping to have the good fortune to shake that mans hand.
In the mean time, I have some poop to get into one big pile, I am still unsure what I am going to do here.I can't get my widgets to work on Wordpress but I really like the look. A dilemma to be dealt with still.

WHAT? SOMALIA? AGAIN?

What in the Holy Hell is going on with THIS shit?

Americans Fire Missiles into Somalia

By JEFFREY GETTLEMAN and ERIC SCHMITT
Published: March 4, 2008

NAIROBI, Kenya — American naval forces fired missiles into southern Somalia on Monday, aiming at what the Defense Department called terrorist targets.

Residents reached by telephone said the only casualties were three wounded civilians, three dead cows, one dead donkey and a partly destroyed house.

Keerist. A house, a Democrat , three bystanders and free BBQ for the survivors. such a deal.
Then we see that this ain't the first time they have lobbed a million dollar a copy Tomohawk missiles at suspected Al and the Quaeda operatives;

It was not the first time that American forces have fired missiles into Somalia in pursuit of what the Pentagon has called terrorist operatives in the country. They did it at least three times last year.

Bryan Whitman, a Pentagon spokesman in Washington, said the target was a “known Al Qaeda terrorist,” and another American military official said the attack was carried out with at least two Tomahawk cruise missiles fired from a submarine. The official said the missiles are believed to have hit their targets but did not elaborate on the targets.

Some intelligence coup ya got there boy's.
Sheeeit,I suppose it could have been a number two guy they were after, it seems nobody knows how to count past three when it comes to how important some pissed off goat herder is when he decides the Great Satan needs a poke in the eye.

Looks like Somalia is still a hotbed if Islamic militants, I cracked up last year when reports kept coming in about Piracy going gangbusters over there and we had to send a Destroyer over to chase them back to their chicken coops.

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA

It's Back.

I've been waiting.

It is starving, it must feed.

I must welcome the madness, it is eternal.

The flickering filaments of the darkness tease the corners of my eyes,it has been awhile, I did not notice them right away.

The tightness in my chest and throat.
The instantaneous weeping for no reason,lips quivering in morose synchronisity.
The Darkness, everything tinged with black as if looking through bloodshot eyes filled with dead blood.

Tunnel vision.
Rage.
Hate.Intense,illogical,total.
Do not look at me,it will frighten your soul, you can sense it,fear it.
Revulsion.
The children see it and are frightened and cling tight.

Welcome to my inner world, the chaotic existence, the sickness, the madness of chemically imbalanced mood swings.
I hate them.
No warning, something just, changes.
It is called Bi Polar.
So fucking innocuous.Fluffy cakes and ice cream.
Not the vile sledge of my reality.
Sobriety intensifies my perceptions, I am no longer anesthetized, constantly drunk, not caring, inured to my reality, self medicated.
Now I must deal.
I do,in my own way.


I have tried their multitudes of mood elevators, anti depressants, this and that.
Zombie food.
I turn into a fucking zombie.
No up. No down.
Just existence. I am here, so what?
Who cares what happens?
Chemical fingers in my ears so I can scream La La La La, I can't hear you to the world.
No.I choose. NO.
I don't like that.
So I deal, actually, I thrive on it, I FEED BACK!
Bring it to me NOW!
Motherfucker, who's yer Daddy.

Tomorrow is another day,it will pass and I will be normal and happy go lucky,
until next time.

Saturday Cartoon

I am a huge Merrie Melodies fan.
Most of the ones I really like are pretty old at this point but I still feel a silly grin on my face when I watch them.
Late Thirties, early Forties, compare the quality of the back grounds, the attention to detail, the warm, soft colors,the music, even the shadows that are correct and often play a part in the story, to the absolute shit they crank out these days.
Almost always, they had some kind of message to their story.
Cracks me up how many times the bad guy, in this case the fox who even has a sign to make sure you know he's the villain, just happen to have two slices of bread and a bottle of ketchup in their pockets, ready for an unsuspecting morsel to make a sandwich out of.
They don't make 'em like this anymore, the time, effort and cost this eight minute
cartoon would require to create would cost millions of dollars to put out as a final product and would be considered a masterpiece using the technology they have now.
Of course, there is some serious stereotyping here, using a Mammy figure and the little chicks as ,at the time, innocent bumpkins.
I never even thought twice about such things when I watched these as a kid. The Momma chicken was a sweet, kind and lovable figure looking out for her babies. It's still that way to me.

Merrie Melodies are always special to me.

Ornery Bastard

The Conservatives are pushing all the buttons they can find.
Like paranoid ferret's on crack in a small wire cage they are frantically chewing on the wire mesh that holds them prisoner.
The problem is, that wire mesh cage is one of their own making.

I am an Ornery Bastard, I came by it honestly enough, it is in my genetic history.
My Grandfather on my fathers side was an Ornery Bastard too.My Father is no slouch if he feels the need to get his point across to a particularly unreceptive dolt.My Great Grandfather I can only go by family lore, but that was one old man you didn't tangle with, ever, according to surviving witnesses.
Something about the particular strain of Scotch / Irish we are I assume.

I am a reasonable enough guy, I don't actively go looking for trouble (anymore).
But after having to listen to, watch and deal with the vitriolic, mindless all encompassing hate of the so called Conservative Republican Party since I was old enough to become aware of my political surroundings, about thirty years, I am not going to sit by and let it go unanswered.
I believe the legendary Steve Gilliard said it best, God rest his soul,
"...you have a choice: be a fighting liberal or sit quietly. I know what I am, what are you?" --

Having never in my life being one to sit quietly,that has meaning to me.

The Conservatives, the Christopaths and the Right Wing Trolls who continually, day after day, try to force feed their twisted version of what it means to be an American, reinforced by the media in this country, has taken it's toll.I have very little patience for it anymore.

When the most important news item I see first thing in the morning is how much someones haircut cost, or whether or not someone is showing enough patriotism for
not wearing a two dollar lapel pin, MADE IN CHINA,it's enough to make me shake my head in disgust.
When I , and millions of my fellow countrymen are accused of being TRAITORS, because we refuse to mindlessly follow the obscene bloodlust of the warmonger class and it's perverted minions, I draw the line.
You have to look no farther than the appointed President and his staff of paid character assassins and proven liars who purposely leaked the identity of OUR OWN undercover CIA agent to the press,for purely political reasons, who then published that information unquestioningly, if you would like to observe traitors in our midst.

Add into this toxic stew an obstructionist Republican party, torturing people, the mulching of our Constitution at every turn, the bankrupting of our treasury, uncontrolled graff and corruption, and you will, if you have been paying the slightest bit of attention, start to see why I give no quarter to this murderous pack of jackals.
A President of The United States of America who gives his middle finger in answer to repeated attempts at pointing out that what he is doing is illegal.
The ruling elite of the Democratic party do not get a free pass in my contempt of what passes for politics in this country either.
They have completely abdicated any responsibility to uphold the oath each and every one of them swore to protect and defend the Constitution of our country.
So my advice to you is, if you are looking for someone who is a doormat and will sit quietly and do what his so called betters tell him he should do, find someplace far far away from me.

Respect begets respect, and like Rodney Dangerfield, I don't get no respect, and neither does anyone else in this country who doesn't have a net worth of several million dollars.

I am not going to sit quietly and I am going to continue to point out and highlight the grievous injustices that seem to happen by the hour in this country.
I am going to be rude about it too.

Bush Ignores The Fourth Amendment

This guy is like a broken record.
What part of getting a warrant before a wiretap or search doesn't he fucking get?
The fucking law is not ambiguous, it is not some kind of suggestion, IT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND HE BROKE THAT LAW!
FUCK!!!
Ignorant. Fucking. Bastard!!
Let's look at what he said, again, today, shall we?
From the LA Times article;

WASHINGTON --

President Bush today urged Congress to pass legislation that would give telecom companies immunity from class-action lawsuits for cooperating with U.S. intelligence services in monitoring terrorist communications.

"Allowing these lawsuits to proceed would be unfair," Bush said at a White House news conference. "If any of these companies helped us, they did so after being told by our country their assistance was legal."

Right. Fucking. There.
They might have been wishfully thinking it was legal but they knew damn good and well it wasn't.

Under FISA, it is perfectly legal for the government to wiretap a phone, with reasonable suspicion, if it is part of a criminal investigation without a warrant. Perfectly legal under existing FISA law.

Here is the part they absofuckinglutely refuse to acknowledge, They MUST apply for a warrant to CONTINUE that wiretap after 72 hours within starting it.Otherwise, they must discontinue that wiretap and destroy any record of the conversations.
This has been the law for over twenty five years.

But no, that wasn't good enough for these fucking traitors.
Then some pussy mother fucker who was wetting the bed at night worrying whether or not some imaginary terrorist in plaid pajamas was going to sneak into their bedroom in BumFuck Hoboken or some fucking place and slit their throat while they slept decided that we needed the Protect Sleeping Americans From Plaid Pajama Wearing Throat Slitters Amendment or what the fuck ever they called it and someone with ties to the telecoms got together while they changed the sheets on their bunkbeds and figured out that they had the technology to tap EVERYTHING.Not just yer telephone, oh fuck no, EVERYTHING.
Yer cell phone conversations were already being intercepted and monitored by the NSA from their satellites.
No, now they could tap directly into the cables that contained every Email, Instant Message, BLOG POST, Google search, telephone calls to yer Aunt Minnie listening to her bitch about her hot flashes, everything.
Without a warrant, without any oversight, just because they could.
Just because THEY SAID it was legal.
I call Bullshit.
Now, the real reason Bush is throwing a Goddamn hissy fit over this, claiming that lawsuits against the telecoms for invading peoples privacy are unfair is just to cover HIS OWN ASS from having all the illegal bullshit they pulled getting this done in the first place drug out in the sunlight during the trials against the telecoms.
What really kills me is how fucking ignorant the sonofabitch is that he thinks people can't see this.
Helloooo? Stupie? You already admitted, on live broadcast television that what you did was illegal and you stamped your little boots and dared anyone to do something about it. I WATCHED it.
So, FUCK YOU, get ready for it, it's comin' yer way asshole, you asked for it, yer gonna get it.

Broder Bounce Equals Steaming Crater

Ahh yes, David Broder, Bush enabler and ass kisser extraordinare, has finally, a YEAR later, seen that his jock sniffing prediction that Bush was going to make a huge comeback was a load of horseshit.


Broder finally repudiates Bush ‘comeback’ column.

Swiped from Think Progress, they are the shit.

Last February, Washington Post columnist David Broder wrote a column arguing that President Bush was “poised for a political comeback.” Over the past year, he repeatedly defended his claim, but in an online chat today, Broder finally repudiated his column, saying “that was certainly one of my less astute observations“:

Long Island, N.Y.: Mr. Broder, thanks for taking time today for this chat. About a year ago you wrote a column where you stated: “It may seem perverse to suggest that, at the very moment the House of Representatives is repudiating his policy in Iraq, President Bush is poised for a political comeback. But don’t be astonished if that is the case.” I think it’s safe to say that this comeback has yet to materialize. In your opinion, what has transpired over the last 12-plus months where Bush has failed to capitalize on any opportunity to garner any significant increase in support outside his high-20 percent core backers?

David S. Broder: That was certainly one of my less astute observations.

He has been less flexible in the past year than I expected after the 2006 election, and I think he continues to pay a price for his rigidity. On the S-CHIP program, for one example.

My bold.

"One of my less astute observations" uh, yeah. Can I submit that for the understatement of the year?

Unapologetic war mongering asswipe has some serious proof in front of him, last I saw, Bush had a JAR of 19%, the current record for the lowest approval rating in modern history.
One more bit of Schadenfreude as BushCo and the Neocons and Right Wing freaks
slowly disintegrate before our eyes.
Even the never ending supply of 28%ers has dried up.
I am seriously enjoying watching it happen too.
You know when Broder has to admit that his Glorious Leader's numbers are in the toilet, someone is getting ready to flush.

There Are Some Nice Folks Out There

I have to admit, I tried to blow this off, I don't really consider my efforts here to be that noteworthy.
Apparently this isn't going away so I will take a moment here to thank some people for even considering me in the same breath with some awesome Blogs out there.
First it was One Fly. He is a hell of a good guy and you should recommend his site to everyone.
Then our esteemed professor, PhysioProf tagged me, another good guy, smart too.
The tipping point came this morning when I got tagged a third time.You guys are gonna make me blush here.
Just An Earth Bound Misfit got me before the sun came up over here on the Left Coast.
Shit, there goes three of the ones I was going to tag!
I humbly Thank You all for even considering me.

Part of the deal is to tag TEN other blogs who you consider to be above and beyond.
This is going to be tough because there are dozens that I surf fairly regularly, even if I don't leave comments.

First one on the hit list is the best fucking Blog out there in my opinion.
The guy doesn't even hardly acknowledge awards, even the highest award out there, the AU PEER award, given by the top Bloggers themselves.
Too bad Drifty, suck it up dude, yer numero uno on my list.

The hard part here is trying to avoid repetition, I'll see if I can't come up with some lesser known yet high quality sites.

Chuck at The Divided States of Bu$hmerika2 has been out of the loop since November, a whole bunch of us have been panicking because he just disappeared without a trace.Come to find out he has good reason. Go give the guy some love and if you have a few HOURS to kill, check out his archives until he can get back in the saddle.That is a very good site.

Next on my list is a a place you don't want to be under the watchful eye of, FOLO has been keeping Mr. Dickie Scruggs , and Trent Lott, his brother in law and a whole HOST of shady characters under a microscope for some time now.They have been following an influence peddling trial and like kicking an ant's nest a bunch of subsequent charges and related trials.


The Culture Ghost is keeping it real and letting us all know that there is more to life than just politics, that and the political system we currently have now sucks ass.My hat is off to ya dude. Stay just the way you are.

Enigma4Ever at Watergate Summer reminds us that we all have feelings and that we need to keep in mind that we are all in this together. She is a sweetie.


An old friend in Blogistan is Cujo359 at Slobber and Spittle. I love some of the interesting things he comes up with and he is another sharp cookie.Hell of a nice guy too.

This list could not be considered complete without a big shout out to a very special lady, Suzanne.
She has the best taste in tunes AND toons!
The shit she pulls out of her bag of tricks never fails to amaze me.
The lady has it goin' on, BIG SMOOCHIES and hugs to ya honey.

This next one I kick myself in the ass for not having been front and center of my attention long ago.
Sometimes you run into somebody that just cracks ya up because they say the same thing you are thinking in a way you only wish you could have come up with.
Jill at Brilliant At Breakfast is just hilarious sometimes.Dangerous things come in small packages.

Fearguth!
I stumbled into his joint one day long ago,just surfing around someone else's Blogroll, I couldn't begin to tell you who's it was but don't ever let anyone tell you Blogrolls are a waste of time and space.The name caught my attention and the snark reeled me in.Bildunblog, it just kind of rolls off the tongue and you will roll with laughter.

I only have room for one more, if you didn't get on this time around it is only because of limited space, like I said, there are just sooo many great blogs out there.

Number ten on my list is the one who makes you think nasty things when you see his name until you find out it is really named after the hardest knot in the world to tie.Monkeyfister is the shit.
Not only has he come up with his very own very much sought after awards, he is truly a stand up guy.When the tornado's ripped through the Mid Southwest recently, he ran himself into exhaustion organizing relief and raiding his own pantry and loading up his truck to deliver much needed supplies.He sounded a cry for help that literally hundreds of Blogs, including this one, picked up and relayed across the country to get the ball rolling while the government sat on it's thumb as usual.
Thats the kind of guy I am proud to call a fellow American.
Like he said, politics takes a back seat when fellow Americans are in need.
Nobody gives a fuck who you voted for when your house just got blown away with everything you own inside it.

Once again , my humble thanks for considering me to be worthy of being in some rare company.

Helping BushCo Hide The Truth

Alabama station drops broadcast of 60 Minutes expose on political prosecution scandal

Larisa Alexandrovna


Oh Boy, where to start with this one.
This whole deal is a glaring example of Karl Rove arm twisting to get done through trumped up charges and the Justice department what he couldn't get done by rigging elections.
Trumped up charges and prosecutorial misconduct and misrepresentation.
The former Governor of Alabama,Democrat Dan Siegelman is curently in prison because of these alleged crimes.
Larisa deserves huge credit for continuing to expose the seemingly unlimited corruption Bush and Company have perpetrated on the American political scene.
From the article,

CBS's 60 Minutes broadcast Sunday regarding the alleged political prosecution of Democratic Alabama governor Don Siegelman went dark in the northern third of Alabama last night. According to WHNT-TV, the local CBS affiliate, the issue was caused by a technical malfunction.

"We apologize that you missed the first segment of 60 Minutes tonight featuring a report titled, 'The Prosecution of Don Siegelman,'" a WHNT story said.

CBS News – which owns 60 Minutes – denied any problem on their end.

Scott Horton of Harper’s magazine reported late last night that CBS was directly pointing back at the local outlets as the cause of the problem.

"I contacted CBS News in New York and was told that 'there is no delicate way to put this: the WHNT claim is not true. There were no transmission difficulties. The problems were peculiar to Channel 19, which had the signal and had functioning transmitters.' I was told that the decision to blacken screens across Northern Alabama 'could only have been an editorial call.'"

snip

Heh, SOMEBODY got BULLSHIT called on 'em.

WHNT, Channel 19 of Huntsville, Alabama, issued a press release shortly after the broadcast.

We apologize that you missed the first segment of 60 Minutes tonight featuring "The Prosecution of Don Siegelman."

It was a techincal (sic) problem with CBS out of New York. We are working (click to read rest) with them right now to see if we can re-broadcast the segment.

Please be patient with us during this time. We are doing our best to correct the problem.

After Horton's report, Channel 19 issued another account of the problem:

We apologize that you missed the first segment of 60 Minutes tonight featuring a report titled, "The Prosecution of Don Siegelman."

NewsChannel 19 lost our program feed from CBS. Upon investigation, WHNT has learned that the CBS receiver that allows us to receive programming from CBS failed. WHNT engineers responded as quickly as possible to restore the feed at 6:12 p.m.

Our sincere apologies to our viewers across the Tennessee Valley.

The network re-aired the broadcast during their 10pm news.

The interview is available on the CBS website.

The White House has put pressure on CBS to kill the show, those close to the case say. Journalists covering the story have been attacked. The case's most prominent whistleblower, Dana Jill Simpson, recently testified to Congress, under oath, about Rove's involvement in politicizing the Bush Justice Department.

snip

Of all the people that DO belong in jail, Karl Rove is far and away the leading candidate in my book.

Nader In It, Turn Signal Still On.

Like a stubborn case of Athlete's Foot, Ralph Nader is back to plague the American voter.

The Constitution Was Not There!

Had a conversation with a good friend today about his trip to DC. this week. Well kiddies our Constitution was not available for view. How are these decrepit bastards violating it this time? This poor thing has been screwed way too hard far too many times. It was probably there but just how do you know for sure. They're screwing it or planning a new way I'll bet money. They fuck everything in their path and will never be satisfied. Hope Jeff Gannon doesn't show up on special assignment.

Caturday: Filthy Beasties Edition

Yes we like our nasty little furballs.
You have to admit, cats are not all warm fuzzy and hilarity 24/7.
No, there is that dirty, nasty side to cats that doesn't always get a lot of attention.
Take for example, the obvious;
The Cat Box.
Oy. This is a gag inducing item worthy of a post in itself.
If you have multiple cats, you know your ass is pressed into service on a regular basis taking care of that mess.



Then there is the little item that has been so benignly labeled as shedding.
How cute, the cat is shedding.
Not.
My fucking cat sheds enough fur every three days by itself that I keep looking for another cat.Why isn't that sonofabitch bald? How fast does that shit grow anyway?
Has science looked into this? The hair club for men? Anyone?
That shit is unnatural.

This leads me to the next inevitable cat atrocity, The Hairball.
My God the noises that come out of a cat trying to hack up a furball.
Hork, Hork, Gag, Gag, you can hear it's guts traveling back and forth inside it's body from one end to the other trying to hurk that thing up, preferably in front of company, on the carpet, of course.




Now we come to the latest bit of nastiness, just being reported,
now I find the little traveling flea hotel has some REAL nasties crawling around in it, on it, I don't really want to know where they are at.

By David Douglas

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Picking up an E. coli bug from your pet might lead to a urinary tract infection, according to Minneapolis-based researchers.

"Sharing of E. coli strains among humans and pets within a household, including strains that can cause urinary tract infections, is extremely common," Dr. James R. Johnson told Reuters Health.

That's it, get the welding gloves and the leather apron,

IT'S BATH TIME.




Hmmm, needs more scrubbing.

Mechanics Are Nasty

Everything you have ever heard about mechanics being nasty perverts is probably true, there is a reason most women would rather walk over hot coals than walk into a repair shop.
I will never as long as I live forget this one old guy I worked next to for years.
Hell of a nice old guy, real quiet with a dry sense of humor.
He never had a whole lot to say and when he did you had to listen good because he talked so quiet.
One hot summer day both bay doors were open to let the breeze through and this gorgeous hottie came strolling through one end of the shop, wearing a halter top and a flimsy see through skirt.
Instantly you could have heard a pin drop in a garage over hundred feet long, with twenty mechanics staring like they had just seen Jesus.
As she sauntered by, I heard the old man say something I couldn't believe came out of his mouth.

"Look at that would ya boy, I'd let her pee in my face for sure".

I thought I was gonna die laughing,fucking bastard.
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought of HIM to say such a thing.
Of course the young lady didn't hear what HE said but she stopped and looked at me like I was retarded.

Ahhh, good times.
I hadn't thought of that for ages, until I saw this angel.

Senators make emergency landing in Afghanistan

From the Associated Press
12:45 PM PST, February 21, 2008

WASHINGTON -- Helicopters carrying three senior U.S. senators made emergency landings Thursday in the mountains of Afghanistan because of a snowstorm.

Sens. John Kerry, Joseph Biden and Chuck Hagel were aboard the aircraft. No one was injured, according a statement from Kerry's office. The senators and their delegation returned to Bagram Air Base in a motor convoy, and have left for Turkey.

snip

The lawmakers were on a trip this week that included stops in India, Turkey and Pakistan, where they observed the elections earlier this week.

It's not like our people don't already have something to do over there except go rescue three stupid fucking Senators out dicking around the countryside, in Afghanistan, in a snowstorm.

Idiots.

This Isn't Your Fathers Revolution

And it won't be Podcast.

Bounce This, Broder

Stupie McFuckwit has finally done it, he has beat his Poppy and Richard Nixon both.
His latest Job Approval Rating has bounced off the curb and into the gutter, 19%.

That's right, a one and a nine.
So much for his 'Base', they are bailing faster than Broder can type.
Who'da thunk a bunch of foreclosures, an economy in freefall and a trumped up war sucking billions of dollars could actually penetrate the KoolAid fog?
Not me, I figured they would all be singing Hail To The Chief right as they packed up their belongings and moved into their cars.
Never fear, the Boy King will have your bail out check ready about the time you need new wiper blades.
