January 2005.
I was out and about checking that blogroll ever increasing. I found much of the same old rhetoric and the same people arguing over nuances. How much clearer does it have to be before they stop arguing and just admit one side is clearly wrong and the other side is obviously right? The war was a lie. The run up to war was a lie. The people who die each and every day are the responsibility of our current administration. There's alot of people in this great big wide world who don't want to kill anyone for any reason. That would prefer to be left to live in peace. And in the name of bringing freedom and peace to Iraq. In the name of finding and stopping WMD's. In the name of Al Qaeda connections to Saddam. Well folks in the name of our president we are killing people every day. And daily there are people who are killing our soldiers. There's just a whole big ball of clusterfucking killing that can be layed squarely at the feet of our leaders here in America. Because folks, if they were bombing my homes and killing my family and neighbors, well I just might take on a serious grudge. I just might start doing everything in my power to get the people who are the representitives of that government out, at any cost. And the people who put those representitives there, that military presence there? Well they and companies affiliated to them are making fortunes. While our soldiers die. While familys are losing loved ones. While civilian casualties mount in Iraq. Good job of winning the hearts and mind I say. Good job bringing them democracy. One day they'll look back on this time, laugh, and give us thanks. If they're still alive.|

The boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees about an urgent problem with one of the main computers. He dialed the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whispered, "Hello?"
Feeling put out at the inconvenience of having to talk to a youngster the boss asked, "Is your Daddy home?" "Yes", whispered the small voice. "May I talk with him?" the man asked. To the surprise of the boss, the small voice whispered, "No." Wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your Mommy there?" "Yes", came the answer. "May I talk with her?" Again the small voice whispered, "No."
Knowing that it was not likely that a young child would be left home alone the boss decided he would just leave a message with the person who should be there watching over the child. "Is there any one there besides you?" the boss asked the child.
"Yes" whispered the child, "a policeman." Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked, "May I speak with the policeman?" "No, he's busy," whispered the child. "Busy doing what?" asked the boss. "Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman", came the whispered answer.
Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter through the ear piece on the phone the boss asked, "What is that noise?" "A hello-copper" answered the whispering voice. "What is going on there?" asked the boss, now alarmed.
In an awed whispering voice the child answered, "The search team just landed the hello-copper." Alarmed, concerned, and more than just a little frustrated the boss asked, "What are they searching for?" Still whispering, the young voice replied along with a muffled giggle: "Me!"

Unfairly Balanced
The fanatics who push the fanatics in the White House spout off about religion. Spout off about God, and how they have good relations with God. Heck the commander and chief says he speaks directly to God, and God answers back. But I just can't feel God has told anyone to kill children. To send Americans off to die. To bomb civilians. Or to torture and brutalize a populice. Come to think of it. The only thing one could call God that whispers evil in your ear would be Satan. And this war in Iraq and Bush's entire term really looks like it's got Satan's hand all over it. I for one am getting real tired of these bozos pulling out a Bible and using my religion to justify their madness. Much as I was and still am disgusted by the way they draped the flag around their shoulders and dared anyone to question their patriotism in the run up to war. Neither patriot nor Christian these people be. These are all but props to ensure power. We but the sheep attracted to the new shiny, the new noise, the new cause. Stop being sheep people. Take back your government. Take back your flag. Take back your religion. They've fouled all three long enough.|

A: None. There is nothing wrong with the light bulb. Its conditions are improving every day. Any reports of its lack of incandescence are a delusional spin from the liberal media. That light bulb has served honorably, and anything you say undermines the lighting effect. Why do you hate freedom?

Talking Points Memo
More deaths in an unwinnable war. No responsibility taken by our leaders. No acceptance that they've made mistakes or followed the wrong path. More lies tossed atop more lies to cover their asses. How much worse does it have to be before Americans sit up in their collective seats and ask why? How many deaths both ours and theirs before the media starts reporting this autrocity as what it is? Our nation has become despised and ridiculed during this presidents terms. Despised because we are running rough shod over the world. Ridiculed because our media, once a beacon of light for those seeking truth, now a sham as clear cut as that fellow in Baghdad who claimed American troops weren't entering the city. What a shame our country has become to the ideals of truth and justice. What a shame it is when Americans no longer trust or believe their leaders. Perhaps Bush is indeed uniting us. Uniting us all to hang our heads in shame by what has been done in our names. But for some there is no shame. For some there's just more vacations and inaugral balls.|

A priest is walking down the street one day when he notices a very small boy trying to press a doorbell on a house across the street.
However, the boy is very small and the doorbell is too high for him to reach.
After watching the boys efforts for some time, the priest moves closer to the boy's position.
He steps smartly across the street, walks up behind the little fellow and, placing his hand kindly on the child's shoulder leans over and gives the doorbell a solid ring.
Crouching down to the child's level, the priest smiles benevolently and asks, "And now what, my little man?"
To which the boy replies, "Now we run!"

There were two evil brothers. They were rich and used their money to keep their ways from the public eye. They even attended the same church and looked to be perfect Christians.
Then, their pastor retired and a new one was hired. Not only could he see right through the brothers' deception, but he also spoke well and true, and the church started to swell in numbers.
A fund-raising campaign was started to build a new assembly.
All of a sudden, one of the brothers died.
The remaining brother sought out the new pastor the day before the funeral and handed him a check for the amount needed to finish paying for the new building.
"I have only one condition," he said. "At his funeral, you must say my brother was a saint."
The pastor gave his word and deposited the check.
The next day at the funeral, the pastor did not hold back. "He was an evil man," he said. "He cheated on his wife and abused his family."
After going on in this vein for a small time, he concluded with: "But, compared to his brother, he was a saint."

The Washington Dispatch
You know how those pesky Republicans have always gained by the Democrats associations with the lunatic fringe?
The folks who believe we should never harm a tree no matter what. The anything but meat crowd.
You know sometimes you don't look like the party to support when bozo the multicolored gay clown is hanging on your shoulder shouting at the opposition.
And the Republicans have always decided who gets to frame the issues. Not only the issues, but who gets associated with who. To say they play to win would be kind. To suggest they play dirty would be stating the obvious.
So perhaps it's time we start associating the Republicans for those who back them. Those fringes they'd rather not march in the parade that support them. Can we not have a few pictures of the skin heads marching? A couple of exposes on those who would kill an abortion doctor because killing is wrong. A listing of the ties to large companies and their contributions to the Republican party.
Nope the last won't work. We've already tried that and it failed. Instead we have to frame the issues and stick to them. If they argue about homosexuality, counter with this is America and people are free to live as they please. If they throw out an abortion issue, shoot back with the right of choice, and Roe versus Wade. Ask why they're rehashing old issues. Why they can't deal with the issues of today. Frame the issues. And frame their associates.
I mean how many pictures of Klansmen with Bush for President bumper stickers would it take for the rest of the world to get it? How many chronicles of those religious right televangelist going bad before America goes back to not trusting the lying fools? Isn't it about time we start outing their supporters for who they are? Isn't it about time we fought a little dirty too?
Of course I really don't care either way who wins. But when that much mud starts flying and the serious accusations get thrown down, well maybe we Americans will get justice on at least one of the conniving thieves running. Maybe that one domino will fall and bring down the corrupt empire they've built. |

Sorry to the regulars for the missing update. Was tired and fell asleep early. To any new folks dropping in, what update? This is all fresh stuff. But I feel a need to purge some stuff I've had building up. Nothing as disgusting as that may sound like but let's get the show on the road.
America's Army Hacked! Now like I mentioned before. It wasn't a really good idea to make a game that could possibly be used by terrorist, insurgents, or the enemy to learn our tactics and training techniques. Sure it may have sounded like a good recruiting tool, but hey folks, they got hacked. How secure do you really feel people?
Things you might regret doing in the morning. Nuff said.
And just in time for the inauguration. Jib Jab's Second Term
Speaking about that inauguration. How we heard no one's supposed to look directly upon the radience. And how some may protest by not looking at all and turning their backs. What I could suggest would be that while turning their backs they could give it the old moon. Hey if you're going to do it might as well get the message across loud and clear. And the article in question that saw internet mention. The one that said people shouldn't make sudden moves or look directly at the president. Well folks it also mentioned there would be chemical sensors all around testing for possible biological attacks. Could I suggest someone with very foul farts position themselves as close to the sensor as possible to see if the methane readings set the things off. You see I doubt I could make it and I am curious and also find the image of it humorous. The whole thing scuttled because a large guy who had burritos for lunch sat too close to one of their new fangled sensors. Oh the horrors. You see folks I try my best to find humor in life. With George Bush being sworn in to the The White House instead of prison, well I get depressed. With Rush being allowed to deal with thousands of class A pharmaceuticals and regular citizens doing multi digit terms in prison. Well I get angry. With Cheney helping to secure no bid contracts to a company he still benefits from. Well folks I just need to laugh. If not at them, or you, or the rest of America and the world, well then, at myself. |

A kilted Scotsman was walking down a country path after finishing off a large amount of whisky at a local pub. He felt quite sleepy and decided to nap against a tree.
As he slept, two female tourists heard his loud snoring. When they found him, one said, "I've always wondered what a Scotsman wears under his kilt."
She boldly walked over to the sleeper, raised his kilt, and saw that he wore nothing at all. Her friend said, "Well, the mystery is solved! Let's thank him for sharing!"
She took off her pretty blue hair ribbon and gently tied it around the Scotsman's endowment. A while later, the Scotsman was awakened by the call of nature. He raised his kilt and was bewildered at the sight of the neatly tied blue ribbon. He stared for a minute, then said, "I don't know where y'been laddie... but it's nice ta see you won firrrst prrrize!"

I've over time made contacts with other bloggers.
I've never met any in person, but I'm sure we could get along. I'm a easy going guy in public. Even in the blog world I don't really condemn many people. Unless of course you count the whole human race. But lets act like I'm easy going.
Many of those who I've chatted very briefly with online tend to agree with me politically. And just as often they will distance themselves when I start spouting off about nuking the world.
Must distance oneself from the insane maniacs spouting crap on the street corner. And here I thought the blogoverse would be different.
But no. Occasionally I come up with lucid thoughts. Occasionally I sit down and feel words roll out of my mind onto the computer screen. And it's those times I write things that cause them to not regret linking me. To actually stop by themselves and read a bit.
And then I'll go off on another chemically imbalanced induced fit of babbling that brings shame to all my ancestors. And they'll hover above my link while they do their updates and upkeep. Wondering if this is the day that I've gone a bit too far over the edge to be serious reading anymore.
And I laugh. I wonder why they think any of us should be taken seriously. I laugh at myself for the times I've taken myself seriously. I laugh because we're all one big joke and if we can't laugh we might as well die. Which is way too serious for laughter. Our own mortality in question.
So one day I'm serious. Another funny. Another depressed. Another manic. I am human and my writing reflects that. My copy editor decides you can read the good crap with the bad and decide for yourself what parts you like and what you don't.
Can I get anymore honest than that?|

Weird Events
Well I was out and about checking my links, my hits, updating. Found two articles that I found funny. Not shocking or enough to get worked up over. Just funny.
One I found over at Semidi. You can find the link in my blogroll to the site. Scroll down it'll be there. But it mentioned the new security for the inauguration. A mention of how the regular folks shouldn't look at the president directly. And it does make sense when you figuire all the itchy trigger fingers that are going to be just everywhere. Not the bad guys, but the good guys. The ones looking to do their jobs above and beyond the call of duty. Just one look that lingers a bit too long, or one snear at the wrong time, and BLAM, you're dead.
The other I found over at Blah3. Again you can find a link to the site in my links to the left of my main page. Trust me, if I mention it it's most likely worth reading. Well the article was about the new FBI program that was supposed to help integrate the system. Doesn't work. Bugged to all get out. The company that would look to be responsible contributed heavily to Republicans. Nothing new there. Most companies contribute more heavily to Republicans than Democrats. It's nothing new really. What struck me as weird was the company said to be at blame was one I had on my blogroll for many months. I just recently deleted it. SAIC, Science Applications International Corp. Their website claimed they were a shareholder operated company or some such nonsense. But they dealt in government contracts in the technology sectors. Worth it for you to go Google them up an see what we got going.
No. I am not going to supply you the links. These are all things I read months or years ago. I'm just not really worked up anymore. You see the way I look at things right now is, there were thousands of bloggers out there, hundreds of thousands, and we didn't make one bit of difference. George Bush was roasted month upon month for his obvious failures and probable illegal actions. He was shown to have lied. His cabinet was shown to have lied. His administration condoned torture, openly it would seem. And America by and large just didn't care. So neither do I. I'm gonna get what I can and plan to move as soon as possible. I'm done with them and those who support them. Just as I wipe my hands of drunks and druggies who can't support their own habits. I had to, so do they. Well folks I had to open my eyes and deal with the nasty images found there. And so do all of you. For those who won't I give no sympathy. They will be getting what they deserve. For those who claim religion to justify killing and torture, well again I do believe you'll get everything coming to you.
Should I care? Give me one good reason I should try and save any of these assholes from themselves one more time. Why I should care what they do to this planet and their neighbors. It'll be a better world once they've wiped each other out. What's left of us might be happy just to eat, sleep, and beat on the drums down at the beach. Probably not though. We do tend to be a nasty evil bunch overall. |

Well I went off and got all artsie today. Checked out some of the places you can view famous art online and did my mind improvement thing. Shame is that many forms of art that would be good for all people in helping them to exapand their horizons, seems to be tied into wealth. Like opera. So often the poor cannot afford to go to the opera. Back when opera and plays were the huge fashion trend, there were always seats for the poor as well as the rich. And classical music. Some of it is damnded good. Some is crap. But seriously can we not name one rock band, one rap band, or any number of country artist who are pure crap? Well sure we can. But music and art can go a long way in crossing language barriers. Bringing things of beauty to the world improves the world. But starving people aren't that interested in opera or the theater. Dying people just lose interest in the finer things in life. Get kind of one track. But what of Africa? The starving, the genocide, the militias, slavery, religious war, prejudice. What about it? I mean honestly folks we need to do something there, but one would be afraid to let Bush and company do anything seeing as how they screw up everything they touch. And the Middle East. I mean we really need a plan on the Middle East. Running roughshod through the countries in the region isn't really a plan. Come to think of it, it was one of the things that broke Russia's economy. We helped. Drained their funds in a never ending war on one or another of their Southern borders. Funded Muslims in the area and supplied them with arms. Trained many of them in that now famous School of the Americas. Taught them how to be really annoying to the Russians and how to make it bad enough that they'd eventually go home. Wonder if they remember any of their training. Think it's starting to hurt enough Americans might want to step out? Probably at least half of us wanted to if the election totals are to be trusted. Bet those Iraqis probably want us out to. Hey! There's a good idea. The Iraqis can prove their true acceptance of Democracy by adding to the ballot the proposition of whether or not to allow continued American occupation. Be interesting to see the unaltered results. |

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is politics?"
Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me capitalism. Your Mom, she's the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the Government. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you the people. The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we'll call him the Future. Now, think about that and see if that makes sense,"
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what dad had said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed. The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I Understand the concept of politics now." The father says, "Good son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about." The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit."

One Thousand Reasons
Well I was out and about traveling the electrical impulses that is the internet connected to our minds I came to thinking that theres a problem with those who misrepresent. Now early I said I can understand why a man would take a quater of a million to support something his brown nosing ass would have probably supported anyways. Buttt.................. Isn't there always. What about those bloggers out there posing as Iraqis? "Oh the war is a lovely thing." "As soon as the bombs and bullets stop we all picnic in the street." "We all love what America is doing here we hope they stay forever and set up pork rib places on every corner." And then on the other side we have those who act the other way. The anonymity of the internet allows these fools to create false personas to give false information in an effort to skew public sentiment. And there lies a problem. I mean if these folks were getting paid for it with public funds there could be a problem. Public funds can never be used to support lies or falsehoods. But it's all propaganda. From what we wear to how we walk we all try to project an image we hope others will see. On a national level of course we always want to look like the good guys but sometimes one must do vile things to insure safety and peace. But when they cross the line from protecting and start becoming the bad guy, becoming the oppressor. Well folks you get the idea. Bogus Iraqi war blogs bad. Getting paid large chunks of public cash for espousing partisan ideas while not disclosing it publically, bad. |

Been BlogSharing lately. Had my cash balance up there quite a bit but spent it all on artifacts that generate more imaginary dollars. I really have no clue what the heck I'm going to do with all this once I'm done. But like I mentioned before it does supply me with a fairly accurate sampling of blogs on topic. So all is not lost. I've also been updating and fixing and fiddling because during the week I won't have as much time. Missed the weekend update but I'm quite sure you can find pron all on your very own. Babbled some fresh stuff to use in the new world manifesto. And visited alot of the "links to the left". Now if I can just be bought out as a cheap shill by one faction or another the world will just be peachy. Who knows, maybe they'll hire me to get the drunk and stoned vote. As if we plan on leaving our couches for anything less than our next vice. Haven't been canoeing, or to the drumcircle, or fishing, or anything in forever. We're gonna have to fix that soon. Maybe get around to getting some pictures I can upload of the family and self. Maybe some dog, or bird pictures. Or maybe just maybe I'll start a blog devoted to the color blue. I'll be in competition with green and red. Ode to blue. Not a sad melancoly color, but one of clear sky. One of the purest water and mightiest berg. Blue so deep it becomes near black. Blue.

A little boy and his grandfather are raking leaves in the yard. The little boy sees an earthworm trying to get back into its hole. He says, "Grandpa, I bet I can put that worm back in that hole." The grandfather replies, "I'll bet you five dollars you can't. It's too wiggly and limp to put back in that little hole." The little boy runs into the house and comes back out with a can of hair spray. He sprays the worm until it is straight and stiff as a board. Then he stuffs the worm back into the hole. The grandfather hands the little boy five dollars, grabs the hair spray and runs into the house. Thirty minutes later, the grandfather comes back out and hands the little boy another five dollars. The little boy says, "Grandpa, you already gave me five dollars." The grandfather replies, "I know. That's from your grandma."

Well now they've gone and done it. They finally did it and one has to wonder how far it could actually lead. I mean the trail could possibly go right to the top. And if that's the case then there's alot of little people on the climb up who had to have had a hand in things, so I would expect some serious closed mouthed determination to admit nothing until real proof presents itself. OH! The topic. Duh. Yeah someone finally addressed the issue of voting irregularities in Ohio. Florida too from what I last understood. But much as the accusations of lying leading up to war. Much as the AWOL questions that were never really answered. A whole lot like no bid contracts to friendly companies in Iraq. So sure we may get a commission checking into things, but last time there was one of those they t ook forever and came up with garbage. What was it called again? The 9 11 commission. Yeah, that's the one. So while it's good to see they are doing something about things finally, don't forget that sometimes they just go through the motions for us little people watching the dance.|
"The press today is an army with carefully organized weapons, the journalists its officers, the readers its soldiers. But, as in every army, the soldier obeys blindly, and the war aims and operating plans change without his knowledge. The reader neither knows nor is supposed to know the purposes for which he is used and the role he is to play. There is no more appalling caricature of freedom of thought. Formerly no one was allowed to think freely; now it is permitted, but no one is capable of it any more. Now people want to think only what they are supposed to want to think, and this they consider freedom."

Sometimes women are overly suspicious of their husbands.... When Adam stayed out very late for a few nights, Eve became upset.
"You're running around with other women," she told her mate.
"Eve, honey, you're being unreasonable," Adam responded. "You know you're the only woman on earth."
The quarrel continued until Adam fell asleep, only to be awakened by a strange pain in the chest. It was his darling Eve poking him rather vigorously about the torso.
"What do you think you're doing?" Adam demanded.
"Counting your ribs," said Eve.

In an alternate universe we could convince those who disagree with us by using facts. Arguments could be solved logically. Hard feelings wouldn't be felt, nor slanderous nasty words flung because the aim of all partys involved would be truth. We don't live in that place. But I wish to throw out another random thought that is but babbling. What if? Yeah I know you've heard it all before. But what if the rest of the world started fearing America because of stolen elections, and random war on nations with fuel reserves, ect. What if they all got together and decided we were the greatest threat to the good of the world and world peace and needed to be dealt with? I know near half of America does not agree with a substantial amount of our governments actions worldwide. And that if the other half were more informed they probably wouldn't like it one bit either. Or it could be something else. The age when we were raised. Many of us old enough to read have been brought up in an age when the end of the world was always right around the corner. From the big nukes, to bio weapons, to natural disasters, to terrorist, murderers, rapist, kidnappers, new drugs, foods we eat, lifestyles we live. Well folks it all kills you. And it's all gonna happen right now. Or at least that's what we have been raised with and surrounded with since the advent of radio and television made it so easy for local powers to broadcast propaganda directly into our homes and places of work. Because let's face it folks, both the right and the left believe we need to save the world because the bad guys are in control and we need to take it back. Me? I'm somewhere in the middle. I do believe the bad guys are in control and we need to take it back. But I also believe it's the one thing Republicans and Democrats can agree upon unfailingly every time. Corruption and how it applys to them and to the rest of us.|

A wife went to the police station with her next-door neighbor to report that her husband was missing. The policeman asked for a description.
She said, "He's 35 years old, 6 foot 4, has dark eyes, dark wavy hair, an athletic build, weighs 185 pounds, is soft-spoken, and is good to the children."
The next-door neighbor protested, "Your husband is 5 foot 4, chubby, bald, has a big mouth, and is mean to your children."
The wife replied, "Yes, but who wants HIM back?"

Well I was gonna line up alot of links backing my coming opinion. Decided not to. Decided you the reader can do a fine job on your own of tracking down the facts about what I'm getting to say. But I'll try and sway you this direction just a little bit anyways. Social Security! There I've said it. Now there is talk of it going bankrupt. Talk of fixed books to show it is but it really isn't. And as usual the truth lies somewhere in the middle. And knowing that. Knowing that both sides skew things to make their points, well folks we gotta know theres a reason behind folks wanting to scrap Social Security. Now for us poor folks. Those working slobs who hope to have a nest egg, but know we'll probably end up with Social Security don't want to dismantle it. Those older folks already retired don't want it dismantled. Heck even quite a few folks who have their money tied up in investments to afford the place they live and the style they live in probably count it in their income come the first of the month. So who exactly would want to scrap it and why? Well many of the rich happily collect it, and don't really mind paying into it. But some want it abolished. They feel it's a drain on business. It cuts into companies profits. And the profits are what matters if America is going to compete globally. And like I've said quite a few times before. America will never be able to compete globally until our wages are more in line with a world balance. Now that's enough for now, but knowing this doesn't really answer any questions. Only opens up new ones. Like if America turns inwards and stops trying to compete globally and starts keeping our goods internal as well as turning away from imports how we would fair. But that's for another day isn't it. I've just got to wonder exactly what paths they think they are leading us down, and why they can't just be honest with how badly they've screwed things up. Whoops! My bad. I forgot we're currently really big on saving face. |

A New York family bought a ranch out West where they intended to raise cattle. Friends came to visit and asked if the ranch had a name.
"Well," said the would-be-cattleman. "I wanted to call it the Bar-J. My wife favored the Suzy-Q. One son liked the Flying- W, and the other son wanted the Lazy-Y. So, we're calling it the Bar-J-Suzy-Q-Flying-W-Lazy-Y."
"But where are all your cattle?"
"So far, none have survived the branding."

Now is anyone suprised I have a new job? No? Me neither. I'm back to the skyscraper, tossing blocks at dizzying heights. But the pays good and the company I'll be working for has excellent potential. Now lets just see if I can last any length. But I brought this up for a reason. You see there's this guy. Not going to say who this guy is. He'll be working right alongside me. The company has a drug test, and well this guy wakes up using drugs. I have never seen this person sober. Well okay maybe I have but you get the idea. I know how he passed the test. And I know he can do it again. But what one has to wonder is, how long before some lawyer or company or the government decides to pass a law making it illegal to knowingly seek to fake the test? And what the repercusions of that will be? And with those questions rolling around in your minds I'll leave you to better things.|

A golfer is in a competitive match with a friend, who is ahead by a couple of strokes. The golfer says to himself, "I'd give anything to sink this next putt."
A stranger walks up to him and whispers, "Would you give up a fourth of your sex life?"
The golfer thinks the man is crazy and that his answer will be meaningless but also that perhaps this is a good omen and will put him in the right frame of mind to make the difficult putt and says, "OK." And sinks the putt.
Two holes later he mumbles to himself, "Boy, if I could only get an eagle on this hole."
The same stranger moves to his side and says, "Would it be worth another fourth of your sex life?"
The golfer shrugs and says, "Sure." And he makes an eagle.
Down to the final hole. The golfer needs yet another eagle to win. Though he says nothing, the stranger moves to his side and says, "Would you be willing to give up the rest of your sex life to win this match?"
The golfer says, "Certainly." And makes the eagle.
As the golfer walks to the club house, the stranger walks alongside and says,"You know, I've really not been fair with you because you don't know who I am. I'm the devil and from now on you will have no sex life."
"Nice to meet you," says the golfer. "My name's Father O'Malley."

Yes it's a New Year. Yes I got drunk. Big suprise there. Of course I haven't had anything to drink since. A hangover destined to last a week or more is a sure sign that possibly, just maybe, could be, that I had drank too much. Or in my case right before I fell comatose into bed the feeling I didn't drink quite enough to last until next year. But whatever the case I again invite you to hang out, read some of my better writings, and attribute the worst ones to someone else taking control of my body while I am in a drunken delirium. Want to know what I have to say about the Tsunami? Tragedy. Huge. Terrible. But................ If everyone is soo shocked about a natural disaster that cost hundreds of thousands of lives, why are they ignoring the hundred of thousands of lives lost over in Iraq? Why is it a natural disaster gets more airplay as in how many deaths and the mounting death toll than a man made disaster like the war in Iraq? Could it be that Bush isn't to blame for the tsunami so it's entirely okay to act horrified and shocked at the huge loss of human life? The reason I point this out is a few of the more insane than the left blogs I have been reading lately suggest the left ignores the tsunami. And it is a possibility I won't discount or discredit. But in the same slam bam style they bash the left for ignoring the huge death tolls, why is it they cannot get as worked up about the huge loss of human life in Iraq? And even though I have suspicions about the reasons and reasoning, I'll leave it for you to decide. Seems both sides do get worked up into frenzys of righteous indignation rather regularly. And they'd like nothing more than to drag you into the fray. Well? Feel like being dragged? Or are you going to use that gray lump between your ears for something other than surfing porn? |

A City cop was on his horse waiting to cross the street when a little girl on her new shiny bike stopped beside him. "Nice bike," the cop said "did Santa bring it to you?" "Yep," the little girl said, "he sure did!" The cop looked the bike over and handed the girl a $5 ticket for a safety violation.The cop said, "Next year tell Santa to put a reflector light on the back of it." The young girl looked up at the cop and said, "Nice horse you got there sir, did Santa bring it to you?" "Yes, he sure did," chuckled the cop. The little girl looked up at the cop and said, "Next year tell Santa the dick goes underneath the horse, not on top."
