ddddddumb asses

Did you catch any of the comment by fuckhead Wayne Lapierre and Senator Lindsey "Cracker" Graham while giving testimony at the gun control hearings yesterday. Wow, the ignorance they showed was stunning. Goes to the root cause of why we are so screwed up as a country.

Robert Reich has a great post on his blog Tuesday. At least he gets it. http://robertreich.org/

So, at least in Gibsonville, the storms last night were not much of anything. Winds for sure, a couple massive downpours, but they did not last long. I guess I was on the eastern edge and missed the mess. I see Boone got hammered. Lots of flooding.

How long before stagnant wages come back to hammer the economy?

Do you know that in some states home builders are back to building massive sub divisions. The folks saying the home building and homes sales part of the economy are delusional.

Almost the weekend.

Winter of confusion

Nice cover by ManOwar.

So the crazy winter weather continues. Today high of 69 and tomorrow in the low 70's. Thursday on highs back in the upper 40's. Very odd.

So the U.S. is thinking, most likely doing, of putting a drone base in North Africa. Kind of odd how the latest flare up in the "war on terrorism" is in North Africa and no we are go to build another base.

Really is this where we are at. Complete morons as leaders. What is the next step.

Looks like my parents are not headed to Florida this winter. They are not happy about that.

Time for an english muffin. Later.

It's just another Monday

The F.B.I. once again is asking Google, Twitter, Facebook and many other to write a backdoor program to give them access to search their databases with less intrusion so they can spy on us.

Why can't U.S. citizens get unlocked cell phones? Follow the money trail.

sunday musings

Gotta love Candlebox. These guys are still out there kicking some ass.

My keyboard is so filthy. Wonder how many germs reside on keyboards across the world. Will give it a good cleaning today.

The ice is pretty much gone. Have to wash the truck today. It is insanely dirty from the the drive home Friday.

Why are good bird feeders so expensive?

Ok, time for a shower and start the day.

Later..................

Still Cold

Looks like a pesky snow/rain/ice storm tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully more rain or snow than ice.

Did we find out anything on Benghazi yesterday from Hillary?

Yea, women can now be full combat vets. You can kill for oil. The best of equal rights.

Some legislator in N.C. wants to pass a bill banning those on welfare or going through bankruptcy from buying lotto tickets. Yup, that's a great law. Good luck enforcing that, morons.

Bye Bye.

New Obama

All these folks, tv talking heads, are saying the liberal Barack came out in his speech yesterday at the inauguration. Until the drones stop I have a hard time believing that.

Gonna be 17 tonight. Yippee.

Summer's cough is not going away.

Lets see.

Five people got shot at Gun Appreciation Day events. Oopps. Wonder it that was part of the event.

George Barris sold the Batmobile at the Barret-Jackson Auction for $4 million dollars.

Need to go through my Roku channels. Seems a few are no longer available. If you Roko make sure you have Snag Films.

Wanted to do my income tax but I am still waiting for my mortgage info from the bank.
Should be getting a decent return again this year. Pay off some bills and still be broke.

Have you seen the new David Bowie video.

Snow Markie Snow

Looks like we are going to get a couple inches of snow this evening. Summer will have fun going for a walk tonight. So will I.

Time to go. Have a headache.

Real hero's

If you have the time watch this video. This is someone who should be considered a real American hero for questioning alleged facts, digging for the truth and shining a little light on the moral failures of our nation.

Today the president comes out with his plans for gun control. Watch out for the blowback. It will be loud and boisterous and devoid of facts.

Time to do my income taxes. Hopefully a nice return.

Yup, we are the world leaders.

And now for something good.

Lest We Forget

This is a great piece of film making.

What odd weather we have been having. Friday it was foggy all day long. Felt like I was living in Seattle. It was kind of cool being foggy all day.  Foggy for a while yesterday and damp all day and foggy again this morning as i sit here writing this blog.

So the word is the pending gun legislation has manufacturers backlogged anywhere from 6 -18 months on their orders for assault style weapons. The basic model ar-15 type weapon that was selling for $650.00 a month ago is now selling for close to $2000.00. Paranoia is making some people very rich.

       The legacy of outgoing U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner will be simple, said Rolling Stone contributing editor Matt Taibbi on Friday — and unflattering. “He’s the architect of “too big to fail,” Taibbi told Democracy Now hosts Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez. ” When this all blows up —…
   

 

 

Powerslave

Good ole Maiden bringing it home.

Welcome to crazy America. These are the people who are part of the well regulated militia? 

What do you think

So yesterday someone I knew back from elementary school days posted some very racist bs on Facebook.

It was a letter Pat Buchanan wrote.
Here is a link to the trash.   http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090727153136AAM5Gz7

Here was my response. 

Why would you post such vile garbage. Anything that claims that being brought here as a slave was a good thing is complete and utter ignorance of what it means to be a human being. I suppose the being brought here was God’s will.  This shows what White ignorance is.

I went back later to see what, if any his response was. His response. He deleted his Facebook account.

He is a crazy bat shit tea bag birther. Kind of figures.

70's this weekend.

Munday

I see Israel wants to build a wall along the Syrian border. If they keep building walls around their country they will have built there own concentration camp. Do they realize this?

Now this is a great idea.



So we are still getting hammered by the gun folks. The one side of their argument I agree with is guns can keep the police state in check when we get to that point.

In the 60's by midweek.

Guns and nuts

So our parent company decided, last week, not to sell "assault rifles" to the public anymore.
The Atlanta store posted a sign in the store stating the new policy. Somebody took a picture of this and posted it on the web. You can guess the rest. Uggh. Phone calls, emails and so on are out of control.

Here are some threads you may want to read.

From the lunatic fringe to many other sites.

Here is a cool video. This guys does some pretty cool work.

Wow, its 2013 and I get to go back to work today just like I did most mornings in 2012. Now working is fine it just happens to be the place of employment.

Make a change in 2013.

The fiscal cliff deal is such a joke.

Happy hump day.

Happy New Year

May 2013 bring more peace for a truly wonderful world.
