Wolf Interviews Donald Trump

I was watching CNN a few minutes ago and Wolf Blitzer had Hair on for a fairly in depth interview. Now I have never really cared much for Hair, find him to be an arrogant media hound, but I must admit he is one smart dude. I did not catch the entire interview, but did see and listen to enough to agree that Trump has his finger on the pulse of our great nation. Number one, Hair mentioned that when we leave Iraq, the Iranians will become the dominant power and will have a good deal of influence in region. He further mentioned that we have upset the balance of power in the region and of course that is something that I totally agree with. How nobody could see this is beyond me. He also made reference to taking the oil in the area if I am not mistaken. Why not? What would anyone be able to do at this point? Not much. I have always thought this a good idea. Sorry if that bothers you. Hair also is of the opinion that we need to bring our manufacturing back home. Of course that makes sense. Outsourcing to foreign nations, especially potential enemies (China, Mexico, Pakistan) is foolhardy and treasonous. I wish I had seen more of the interview.

Freedom Keeps Slipping Away

Do you truly think that you are free? We do enjoy more freedom than most in people in the world but our liberty is slipping away more and more. It is noticeable. It is insidious. It is annoying and most importantly, it is dangerous. Take for example the anti smoking crusade in NYC. In addition to bans in restaurants, bars, etc. now they want to ban all outdoor smoking as well. Crazy. Do they not have anything better to do. I can recall when you could walk into a store and buy smokes no matter what your age. Occasionally you would run across a person behind the counter that would not sell them to minors but that was rare. In Texas there are actually "cops" whose sole job is to entrap clerks into selling an underage person tobacco products or beer. I would be embarrassed to say that was how I earned a living. What about underage drinking? I can remember a time when if you could look over the bar, then you could get a drink. Not saying that was a wise thing to do but what the hey, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Of course I lived in south Louisiana at the time.(That area is more like a friendly foreign country than a part of the U.S.). Now a defender of our freedom can not get a beer legally in any state in the Union. It is ok to die for your country but not to have a beer after a hard day in the field. Something wrong there. Have you recently tried to buy a gun or ammunition? You feel like you are joining the Army after filling out all the nonsensical paperwork. I don't believe it is any business of any government agency if I decide to buy at .410 shotgun. None whatsoever. How about the nonsense that one has to go through to get on an airplane? Well I guess that has become necessary.We can thank  Mohammedans for that. The longer we have people in government that "want to get things done" and leave their mark as it were, the more our freedoms are restricted. Sometimes it really is better for our elected officials to just do nothing.  

Economists Practice Witch Science

Did you happen to know that the recession ended in June 09? I was not aware of this. BwaaaHaaahhhaaa. Do they think for a second that anyone is buying this nonsense? Just because the stock market has rebounded means nothing. People are still having trouble finding jobs. Wages are stagnant. The housing market has not rebounded. Car sales will be flat again if they are not already. Etc. Are you not tired of those that may be educated beyond their usefulness telling the rest of us how things are? Think about it. Meteorologists really don't have a clue about what goes on. Global warming may (or may not be) a hoax. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico did not portend the end of life as we know it. Have you ever been to a physician and knew damn good and well they had not a clue? Have you seen friends and family die of cancer because it was not detected early enough even though there had been numerous trips to the physician with symptoms? Very often those that pretend to have the knowledge to tell you what is going on in the world, with your body, etc. etc. have no more of a clue than the local grocery clerk. In some cases less. Economists? I piss on them.

Shamless Self Promotion

I have not been doing a lot of work on this blog of late. It is college football season and I enjoy watching and writing about the game. If anyone has a similar interest join me at collegefootballfromthecab.blogspot.com for my completely amateurish, quite often wrong, and usually biased analysis of the college game. I will continue to work on this blog of course but probably most of my "work" will be about college football for a while.

Damn! I Forgot Burn a Confederate Flag Day

A while back one of my readers let me know about an event apparently called "Burn a Confederate Flag Day." This was supposedly to take place on Sept 12. Haven't heard too much about it - it has not been on the news that I know of. I wasn't going to participate in anything as silly as that anyway. I am, after all, a Southeastern Conference man. Ain't gonna burn no Johnny flag anytime nohow.

Remember

Today is the anniversary of the attack by the Mohammedans. I will not forget nor will I forgive. Ever.

Lou Reed is Kinda a Prick

The title says it all. Oh and also that Jones guy apparently is not going to be burning any books on Saturday. The saga continues....
