I'm back and not dead...yet

Well, I'm back sort of. This post will be all over the place. My apologies, but it is MY SITE! And I have some catching up to do. SO THERE!

It's been sixes and sevens^* around here for the last 6-7 weeks and things still aren't settled down, so posting could be sketchy.

And I've been busy printing my new money.


It takes time to do such things.

In addition, there are 5 students living here and I'm the "computer guru" who has to pull their bacon out of the fire^** and do their research on the internet. These things take time. Poor boy!

Am currently listening to Jive Bunny & the Mastermixers. If you don't have their CD, shame on you.

On to more substantive shit.

This post talks (talks?) about a "Mid-East" descendant "dark" guy was harassed. It makes a good story, but my guess is a chubby white Anglo-Saxon would have been treated the same. I welcome your thoughts.

I'm positive Mid-East looking people are treated unfairly all the time in the US. Bush has fostered a fear of anyone who isn't white Anglo-Saxon and Americans have responded accordingly.

This is the headline: Bombers strike at Iraqi army, civilians

Does that bother you? It fucking pisses me off. Civilians?

Jesus H Christ on steroids, this isn't acceptable at all. The story doesn't address the atrocity of our killing civilians.

Interesting. Someone visited my site looking for "panties". What makes it interesting is they spent more time on my site and visited many more pages than the usual visitor. I might have a stalker? Nah. Just a politically curious animal who's into panties (figuratively speaking).

If you have a blog, are you getting a lot of hits from people searching on "McCain"? I think his people are surfing the net for items on him.

I'm dropping Dennis Perrin from my Bloglines RSS feeds and blogroll (be patient, I'm teh lazy) even though I admire his posts. Why? Because he doesn't allow comments. If I say something people don't agree with, fine. Let me know. Add info if you have it, fine. The fact Dennis doesn't blogroll me has nothing to do with it. Duh!

I'm sure you can find Dennis without my blogrolling him and I encourage you to do so.

That said, I will link to him if necessary and comment here on his posts. To wit:

He says.

Now that some of my aggression has been channeled, I can state in a emi-reasonable tone that Moyers' examination of how the US mainstream press helped to sell the invasion of Iraq yielded no real surprises.

No real surprises for many of us liberals, but probably some surprises to many Americans. They bought into the invasion of Iraq quite well, thank you. It was always bogus and many of us liberals knew it all along. Hahahah. TOLD YOU SO!

What I'm curious about is...will this program be the death knell for PBS? Again, to wit: Bush wants to gut PBS.

Inquiring minds want to know. And we want to know now!

This is a tribute to them.

This is your typical winger.


Thanx to Mr Toledano.

^*Sixes and sevens is an American term for chaos and general craziness.

^**Pulling their bacon out of the fire is American slang for saving their sorry asses.

I give up

For now I can't access any sites via Bloglines. Its OK, because I could use the break. If I think of something I want to post about, I will. Until then I'll just hang loose.

If you decide to use this as an open thread, feel free. I love to read what you have to say.

Must read IMHO

There's good/bad stuff out there. Check out this post.

Dem or Repug?

This is just soooooo true.

A woman in a hot air balloon realizes she is lost. She lowers her altitude and spots a man fishing from a boat below. She shouts to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consults his portable GPS and replies, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

She rolls her eyes and says, "You must be a Democrat!"


"I am," replies the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answers the balloonist, "everything you tell me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you're not much help to me."

The man smiles and responds, "You must be a Republican."

"I am," replies the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," says the man, "You don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and now you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it's my fault.

Really important must read IMHO

Go.

For your amusement

Stolen entirely from Big Shot Bob in Texas.

This is a timed test and you have 10 seconds to click on the answer!!!!

Best of luck and well Big Shot Bob got a score of 5, now that is not bad considering the fact that Al Gore got a 4. And of Course George W. Bush could not get pas[t] the Ready Key! And SPIIDERWEB™ is pissed because he only got 8. Damn!

Being lazy again. Perhaps I won't be later. For now, check out this post at Anything They Say.

We never learn. A little soapboxing here. If I with my puny brain can grasp this anyone should be able to.
