Good Morning Blog World

Today is Veterans Day, a day that is set aside each year to remember and honor the dead and wounded in our struggle to obtain and keep freedom as well as to honor all that have served in our country's military service...and I include the Coast Guard in this service although technically it is not part of the Department of Defense.

Veterans Day is one of those holidays that I do observe although I feel much about is as I do Mother's Day and Father's Day...I don't need a special day to remember and appreciate what special people have done for me and my country. I remember and honor them every day of the week.

But today is that special day...and I extend my thanks to every one who has ever served in the United States Armed Forces...it is your willingness to sacrifice some of your personal freedom while serving that has obtained and kept the personal freedoms the the public enjoys. Thank you.

This about That

As a rule I am against capital punishment because I don't see it as punishment but just kinda like putting a rabid dawg out of its misery. I was rather see a sumbitch like this
be sentenced to death at hard labor on a diet of bread and water....make the sumbitch suffer for his crimes. But, in any event he got his due..
..................................................................................

Can't say I blame 'da judge' on this one. Budding high school and college Pulizer prize winners are dangerous...best to tell up front if they want a talk from 'da judge' he is gonna make damn sure he is quoted accurately.
...................................................................................

Yeah, Obama Mourns the victims but he is the man who has to bear the responsibility for the deaths...it is those such as him that insist on the gotdam political correctness in the military that caused this.
....................................................................................

And speaking of polictical correctness, the Obama people tell you it is not PC to criticize the emperor and those of us who do do so because re are racist. They just can't bellieve that I despise the sumbitch for what he is doing/not doing in Afghanistan..among his other numerous attempts to destroy the republic and my way of life. The public is starting to realize that Obama's plan for Afghanistan is not working...he waffles and blames it on Bush...typical of someone whose sole experience in leading people has been as a community activist. Obama is in over his head and while he waffles on what to do in Afghanistan he is getting people killed and maimed. Where is MSM? Where is the left wing who lost the Vietnam war for us? GOTDAM! Either shit or get off the pot...fight to win or get the hell out and come home.
.....................................................................................
I know my bloging and blog reading has been light the past coule of months and I do apologize to those of you who drop by more than once a day to see what kind of shit or wit I have put out there for the world to critique. But I have an excuse...not only am I becoming lazy I have some other priorities right now and with some luck those priorities will always be my priority. Maybe more on this later on.
I have a lot to do this morning and I need to get started doing it...sitting here thinking about it as well as other things is not getting those things I need to get done...done. But in any event folks, life is still good and is always better when you know someone loves you. Y'all come, heah?

Don't forget to thank a vet today my friends...I do every day...

A MUST READ!

I just received THIS AMAZING WORK via e-mail from my friend Butch. Folks, I beg you to click on this link and take a look at the picture...just place your curser on any one in the picture and in the side bar a popup tells you who they are. I was amazed and spent some time looking at it.

I also encourage you to read what McNaughton has to say about the criticisms of the picture from both the left and right political wings. I tend to agree with him...

Thanks to ya my friend Butch, aka Golf,....you made my blogging day.

Emperor Obama is pushing the house passed health bill in the senate but the senate may be balking...

Does this country need health care reform? Is there really that much wrong with American health care that we need the government involved in it dictating who gets what care and when and who is going to pay for it? Do we need ANY legislation at all to 'fix' American health care?

Those of you who have followed this bit of shit and wit know that I am leery of any government involvement in damn near anything. Most times congress passes legislation with the best of intentions but so gotdam ambiguous that it takes the courts to decide what they mean...the civil rights act is an example where courts took the bill and decided that busing was the law of the land. For the most part I follow Guy's first rule...any fucking law passed to help the public good usually has the opposite effect plus is going to cost me hard earned money. I see this health care bill the same way...an ambiguous piece of legislation that will give the administration and the left wing courts an open door to your home and bank account as well as take away a big portion of your personal freedom.

Do we need any legislation? Yeah...two things...the first is either repeal or change the laws that require emergency rooms to treat every case that walks through the door. The law needs to be specific about who must be treated and define what is an emergency. This alone will lower medical costs considerably and will also send freeloaders looking for health insurance. The other pressing need is tort reform.

Over the past fifty years the public has decided that no matter what happens it is always someone else's fault and someone has to pay. In some medical disciplines up to half of the physicians' gross receipts goes to pay for liability insurance. Moreover, doctor's are afraid of not ordering every test available for every gotdam thing imaginable because they might get sued if they do not...and probably will even if they do. I am not saying that a doctor should not be sued for negligence or gross incompetence...but I am saying that there should be some limits. One I would like to see is that the loser pay all legal fees. Many times the tort cases never get to court because it is cheaper for the insurance companies to settle than to fight the suit. Forcing the ambulance chasers to pay if they lose will stop a lot of law suits.

Looks like Hurricane Ida is busting up and what is left is going to bring some blustery weather to my area this week...gusting winds and fast moving rain squalls are predicted for today and maybe tomorrow. Hell, works for me...be a good day to catch up on some sleep.

I had another late night last night and didn't get to sleep until the wee hours of the morning...I am not complaining....just the opposite but one of these days it will catch up with me and I will crash and sleep around the clock. But in any event life is good my friends and when someone loves you it is even better. And now I am going to prop my eyes open with toothpicks, swallow my own private fucking pharmacy, suck some horse piss smelling stuff out of a nebulizer, enjoy my second mug of jumpstart, and read some more news. Hell, I may get pissed enough to rant some more.. Y'all come, heah?

- I ordered a burger at McDonalds and the kid behind the counter asked, "Can you afford fries with that?"

- CEO's are now playing miniature golf.

- If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds", you call them and ask if they meant you or them.

- Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM.

- McDonalds is selling the 1/4 ouncer.

- Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names.

- Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting.

- Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore.

- The Mafia is laying off judges.

- Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.

-in Tampa the homos are sucking their thumbs

Congress says they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal. Oh Great!! The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $1.5 Trillion disappear.

UPDATE: I just saw that the local sawmill is hiring...looking for people to eat saw dust and shit broom handles. Times be bad people

YEP!

Sunday Morning Coming Down

It is a beautiful morning...the sun is shining out of the eastern horizon and there is a slight breeze that makes the 60F air feel a bit chillier than what it is. The 'varmits' are scurrying and the birds are on the feeders. There is a feeling of peace and maybe a lull before a storm...yeah the hurricane is coming into the gulf this week but my local weather quack sent me an e-mail assuring me that the cooler gulf waters would bust it up faster than a sledge hammer on a hen egg...but then I remember shoveling six inches of partly cloudy a couple of times in the past. I betcha fishing would be great on an incoming tide....

I was up until wee hours of the morning...details I will not go into right now but suffice it to say it was the most enjoyable night of my life. And if I can ever get this post up I am going to crash and get me some sleep...

I had planned a post of reminiscence this morning...Sunday mornings coming down in the distant past but I made the mistake of reading the news first...sorry folks but I have a few words to say to you about the socialists in the House of Representatives.

This health care bill that narrowly passed last night is a scam on the American people...a projected revenue neutral 1.1 trillion dollar over the next ten year scam. There is just too gotdam much wrong with it to go into here but I am going to point out at least three...

First of all the revenue neutral 1..1 trillion dollars is BULL SHIT! When was the last time you saw any gotdam government program come in at budget? People these sumbitches cannot even run a railroad without government subsidies...do you really think that they can run a health care program without tax dollars? And take a look where the dollars to run it are supposed to come from...taxes and fees and cuts in medicare. Who is going to pay the taxes and fees? And how are doctors who are already seeing eight patients an hour going to absorb the cuts? Or is medicare not going to be one of those 'according to need' programs where if you have smoked or been overweight the government decides that you should have know better and tells you to just go off and die...

Next is the provision that employers will be forced to either provide medical insurance or pay an eight percent of payroll penalty. People, it is a damn sight cheaper in the long run just to pay the penalty...and write it off as a cost of doing business and pass it on to the consumer at the cash register. If I was still in business that is what I would do...a lot less paperwork and no gotdam worries with insurance companies who raise my costs every time someone gets sick and uses the policy.

And last but not least is the provision that will force everyone to either purchase insurance or face penalties...I have not read the entire bill and can't tell you what the penalties will be but I will tell you this...once this kind of bill passes it opens the door for more government oppression. If left up to an administrative branch to determine the penalties don't be surprised if you find that not purchasing medical insurance winds up to be a felony...well, hell...at least if they lock you up you will get medical care free of charge to goo along with you baloney sammich and gravy.

There is just a bit of hope left my friends...this monstrosity of a scam has to pass the senate. And rules in the senate are different than in the house and there is a chance that it can be blocked. Some pundits say it cannot get out of the senate....maybe not even out of committee...I do have my hopes.

If you love your freedom my friends you will do as I am doing today...write a letter to your senator and protest this grab for federal power over your life. We must let the senate know that there are those of us who value our freedom over free bread.

And now I am going to finish my first mug of jumpstart and feed what is left of my cackleberry breakfast to "DON'TGOTDAMIT!" and then maybe get some sleep. Life is still good for now folks even though we have a government dead set on making it bad..my angel of the morning loves me. Y'all come, heah?

A father walks into a restaurant with his young son. He gives the young boy 3 nickels to play with to keep him occupied. Suddenly, the boy starts choking, going blue in the face. The father realizes the boy has swallowed the nickels and starts slapping him on the back. The boy coughs up 2 of the nickels, but keeps choking. Looking at his son, the father is panicking, shouting for help. A well dressed, attractive, and serious looking woman, in a blue business suit is sitting at a coffee bar reading a newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down, neatly folds the newspaper and places it on the counter, gets up from her seat and makes her way, unhurried, across the restaurant.

Reaching the boy, the woman carefully drops his pants; takes hold of the boy's testicles and starts to squeeze and twist, gently at first and then ever so firmly. After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the last nickel, which the woman deftly catches in her free hand. Releasing the boy's testicles, the woman hands the nickel to the father and walks back to her seat at the coffee bar without saying a word. As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no ill effects, the father rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her saying, "I've never seen anybody do anything like that before, it was fantastic. Are you a doctor? "

'No,' the woman replied. .......................I'm with the I.R.S..

I am going in to the village in a bit and see can get some new blades for it...I'll put the new parts on when they get here...but in he meantime I got it held together with duct tape and bailing wire....yeah, folks, I used to drive Fords....
