The lighter side

My oldest daughter, the one who just had our beautiful new grand daughter, has taken to posting one liner facts on her facebook page. Every day. You know the type, the kind of stuff you read and think , oh good more mental clutter. I have a tendency to remember most everything i read and usually that's a very good thing however this stuff is sort of like hair balls in your sink, it just backs it up. So in deference to my lovely daughter's inspiration here are 10 little known facts of life.

1. There's too much youth... how about a fountain of smart

2. The gene pool could use a little chlorine

3. As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in school

4. Forget about world peace.. visualise using your turn signal

5. Dogs never need to "examine" the relationship

6. We are born naked, wet, and hungry.. then things get worse

7. Diplomacy is the art of saying "nice dogie" until you can find a rock

8. Puritanism.. the haunting fear that someone, somewhere may be happy

9. Jesus loves you its everyone else that thinks your an asshole

and number 10

A cat almost always blinks when you hit it in the head with a ball peen hammer
Have a nice day....

SUP

The title of today's blog is multi-purposed. One because there is a variety of topics and two for my buddy Francis back in the commonwealth. SUP Francis. Michael Jordan says he wouldn't of done the deal Labron made even if Larry and Magic where amiable to the package. Jordan says He preferred playing against the best as opposed to with them. I guess six rings determines who has the bigger set. I wanna be like Mike.... My old buddy Wild Bill Clinton has made a "bucket list", who cares.... Do you remember Alvin Greene? I posted about Him a couple of months ago. He is the guy from South Carolina who won the Democratic nomination for senate over an incumbent. Well Alvin made his first campaign speech the other day. It lasted 6 & 1/2 min. in front of about 400 people. The press reports that he was well received and spoke well. I love this.. Go Alvin Go......The Chinese are having an oil crisis, not the fuel oil type but the cooking oil type. It seems the street people are collecting the old cooking oil and garbage in it and recycling it. They filter it to feed the solids to the pigs and resell the oil to the restaurants. Lots of sightings of people on bicycles grabbing oil at the back door, cat sightings ,however, are still down....

The Tea Party seems to be in the news more and more. There current stated purpose is to generate interest in the mid term elections. I agree, the primary;s this summer and the elections this fall could be among the most important in our countries history. Our elected officials do not seem to be listening to the people, which is their main function. Its time to send a message by changing over as many incumbents as possible. Its time for WE the People to run our country. The government is running our country into the ground. The economy is a disaster, the trade deficit is completely upside down, and the national debt is out of control. If we do not recover our government with these elections i fear the next agenda will be extremely difficult on everyone.

Wow All Kinds of Stuff

Hey there everyone... lots of stuff today..The British Open is underway and the friend of every duffer in the world is high on the leader board. John Daly, you remember John, the proponent of non-performance enhancing drugs, was in second place 1 shot off the lead after the first round. Coke and cigarettes on the course.. gotta love him.. I wonder where he got those pants... I'd love a pair...Hit another 300 yard er John. Hassan Nemazee, stole $ 292 MILLION and just was sentenced to 12 years. Federal guidelines call for 20 years. WTF Oh yeah, i forgot , it's who you know. It seems as though Hassan was the National Finance Chairman for Hilary's 08 campaign. He also raised money for Wild Bill, Al Gore, John Kerry, and oh yeah, Obama. Think he'll serve the full 12 ??? Me neither. Yooper News..... Murder Seth Privacky was shot and killed yesterday while trying to escape from a yooper prison.. Koodo's to the correction officer who got him. Saved me some tax dollars. Seth was convicted of killing his parents, grandfather, brother, and brother's girlfriend. Ther's a lot to be said for deer camp training.. go yoopers....The "Bank Bill" was passed by the Senate yesterday. Not sure why it's called the bank bill, it seems to have more to do with controlling wall street than banks. It is difficult to tell however since the bill is 23 HUNDRED pages long. What I've seen says it gives alot more power to the federal government. I'm shocked. New agencies, more regulations, more oversight committees, power to break up "teetering" companies. This remember was one of Obama's prise pieces of legislation. I wonder what else is in all those pages ?? You think anyone has a special interest or 20 . 2300 pages, you know Webster's New World Dictionary, 3rd college edition is only 1557 pages. That would be every word in the language, it's pronunciation, and multiple meanings. The NIV Study Bible is 1950 pages. That's only everything God had to say. Once again Congress steps up and declares they are smarter than Webster and more important than God. Am i out of line here ?? I didn't think so either. One more thing, Charles Nenner has said He believes that the Dow is headed down to 5000 and that the economy won't recover until 2020. I'd keep an eye on that Mr. Nenner has proven to be a pretty smart guy. Thats it .... headed back to Camp Bubba... I can here those martini's calling my name... bubba drink me...

Not Lazy, Relaxing at Camp Bubba

Yeah I know it's been awhile. We were at Camp Bubba for about a week and part of the beauty is no Internet. I wasn't going to come back yet but we ran out of beer. What a catastrophe. So here we go. Our President was overseas instead of home attempting to fix our economy and while in Europe APOLOGIZED for Americans being arrogant. WTF. Are you aware that there are over 104,000 American troops BURIED IN Europe from the two world wars. I guess saving their collective asses is arrogant. I wonder how many French, Dutch, English, or other Europeans or Middle Eastern are buried here who died defending this country. I don't know but I'm betting it's a pretty small number. Come on Mr President , please remove your head from your ass and get busy here at home. According to the latest Washington Post poll 60% of Americans say they "lack faith " in Obama. I'm shocked. In other news FICO reports that 30% of all consumers have credit scores that make them a poor risk. This means it's unlikely they can get a loan for a major purchase, like a car or house. This is a worm hole. When people cant borrow it dramatically impacts our economy in a negative fashion. A poor credit score = less credit = less production = less jobs= poorer credit scores. Fico also stated that the amount of people with poor scores will continue to rise. Of course the credit score people want you to spend some of your credit card balance on purchasing their service to find out what your score is. Did you know that every time your score is accessed it has a negative effect on your rating. So like i said it's a worm hole.People no longer lend to people computers do. Computers adjust your score and your score determines your lend ability. Just one more major problem with our economy. Ronald Regan said " Freedom is never more that one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the blood stream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was like in the United States when men where free. " Are you ready to fight for freedom ? There are elections in November, we need to toss All of them out. Be A Boy Scout be PREPARED.

Who's in Charge Here

Watching the news is getting more depressing than ever. Our country is racing down hill toward a cliff and when we go over it will be a very hard fall. Last week Obama met with the Russian President, Dmitry Medvedev, and they agreed to expand cooperation on intelligence and to strength economic ties. The Russians are in worse shape than us. So i guess this means we tell them our secrets and give them money. When asked about our involvement in Afghanistan the Russian replied "Your screwed". Now Obama is about to talk to us about immigration reform. This should be good, He already says He doesn't like the new Arizona law and wants to give the illegals a chance at amnesty.Did you know that other boarder States are looking to enact their own laws similar to Arizona's. The federal government isn't paying attention to the people. they have done nothing about illegals. Now Nancy Pelousie wants a law that taxes your gains in the stock market again, including your retirement accounts at the modest rate of 55% and proposes to give that money to the poor illegals. According to Websters the definition of a republic is, " a government in which SUPREME POWER resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law". Dose that sound like what is happening in Washington to you ? No me neither. We must make wholesale changes. That means voting those people who don't listen out of office.Our representatives are not being responsible and in some cases not acting according to law. We need to take our country back before we go over that cliff. I said this before but it bears repeating. " A people should not fear their government, a government should fear its people".

Pursuit of Happiness

Hey everyone, how are you ? I've been sort of busy. Yesterday was the bi-annual family reunion on my wife's dad's mother's side of her family. Did you follow that ? Me neither and I'm married to her. So its the families of her grandma's kids. These are good catholics so all the families are large. Half live here and half down in Ohio.Not sure but about 75-85 people not counting the little kids. Now for me it's a challenge because Suzie and I have been together about 3 years so this was my second reunion. I "volunteered " to cook some pulled pork, about 35 #'s worth, so i was a little busy between cooking and studying the Christmas card list so I'd know who went with who. You'll be glad to know it was a ragging success. I know this because the pork was all gone and i won the 50/50 drawing. Ilo of participating in the games i decided to drink beer with one of her relatives from Ohio and laugh at the people trying to pick up a toy car while blind folded with a magnet tied to their ass. Quite amusing. Went to one of the local taverns with some of the Ohio people and Suzie's aunt from Chicago and had a great time. I'm telling you all this by way of explaining why I've been MIA for the last few days. The wife and i are headed to Camp Bubba tonight for a couple of days, just her and i. Like i said The Pursuit of Happiness. cya Wednesday. Bubba

Deja Vu all over again

Well I guess Yogi Berra had it right, cause here we go again. Yesterday Pres. Obama fired Gen. McChrystal and replaced him with Gen. Petraeus. In case you missed my blog from last week this is the guy who fainted under " pointed questions " from Sen. McClain in some senate hearings. He also came up with a strategy known as COIN when he was outcast to fort Leavenworth in the early 2000's. This is the counter insurgency strategy which was successful in Irag. W put him in charge when things weren't going well and he was successful. It wont work in Afghanistan. It;s a different set of circumstances. Their feudal system wont lend itself to social programs. If you haven't noticed we are also reviving the problem of civilian leadership in a military situation. That is precisely where McChrystal was headed with his comments. Its the classic Who;s in charge here. In case you forgot the Russians languished in Afganistan for at least nine years as did the French in the People's Republic of. Now we have the wrong guy,with the wrong strategy,in the wrong place, led by a politician who is clueless. Beginning to sound like 1970 all over again. Deja Vu
