Wasting Time In America

The other day, on a whim, I signed up for this Twitter thing. I don't know why. My friend is a social media guy and said I should. Well it is about as ridiculous as some of the other time wasting media fads probably but it does seem rather interesting. I hardly have time for this blogging thing (which I enjoy), so I really don't think I will have much time for tweeting (or whatever). I did follow some folk though. It will be interesting to see just what Sasquatch (R. Barr) has to say on any given subject and I might just follow another female of the species (O'Donnell) also. She says goofy things quite often also. It could be fun.

I was also "blocked" by one Robert Crawford of the Massachussetts People's Republic. Don't know who he is? Not to worry. Few do (and that little fact gets under his skin. Some folk just need their fifteen minutes it seems). It is interesting that Crawford would be one of the first to whine about being "blocked" by someone I'm sure. Of course he whines quite a bit. If interested check out Crawford at welcomebacktopottersville.blogspot.com. Or not. On a side note I did follow a fellow that goes by the moniker of D R I F T G L A S S. driftglass.blogspot.com This dude is a Midwestern ultra leftist who seems to have a very skewed view of us Southrons. One of my regular readers called me out for commenting on Driftglass' place in the sun once. If I recall he called him the "prince of buffoonery." Apt description. I can't help but wonder how Crawford's and Driftglass' real job search is going. No, not blogging and tweeting or, in the case of Driftglass, "pod casting." That doesn't count boys. I do understand fully that chronic able bodied unemployment is a badge of honor among some on the far left though. It proves some sort of point I suppose?

Oh have I gone to far? Sorry. Feeling quite bastardly this morning. It happens. I probably shouldn't be blogging. Things could get nasty. Oh well let me stop here and make it up to you with some rule 5. One of the Sasquatch twins perhaps?

There is Some Powerful Dickweedery Going On Over There

About a week or so back I watched a video presented concerning the "ignorance" of those of us in the South. It seems that the fruitloop over at Driftglass driftglass.blogspot.com wanted to inform us that we ignorant Southrons had too much say in the electoral process and were ruining the country. Some of the comments were pretty silly also as one can imagine. I would be offended if they weren't so ridiculous. True, the video did contain some pretty uneducated (sounding) folk, but I would rather deal with them any day than some Ivy League schmuck (or Windy City schmuck for that matter). Now those are the folk who may truly be ruining our nation. .

There is some powerful dickweedery going on over there at this  D r i f t g l a s s. How could I think otherwise? I am, after all, a Southeastern Conference man.

Now how about some Johnny Russell. Kinda my tribute to this D r i f t g l a s s crowd and their nonsense. I thought about using the classic Weather Girls tune It's Raining Men as a tribute but just did not want to be accused of being intolerant. Or something.

Mooing on a Monday Morn

It is being reported that members of the "religion of peace" in Iraq have been going about brutally murdering young folk who sport the "emo" look. Savages. And we thought we could tame these folk? The "occupation" of Iraq is still a hotly debated issue. Was it or was it not a good idea? History will be the judge. One thing is certain; "nation building" in this part of the world is a losing proposition. I feel for the folk in these Muslim lands who just want to be left alone and perhaps have real democracy without the influence of the more radical among them interfering with their progression out of the dark ages. Unfortunately this is a battle they themselves will have to fight. Religion of peace my ass......It does seem that the only govts this region can have are dictatorships of some sort. That is about the only way that they can coexist and do business with the rest of the world.

Israel is under attack from rocket fire. Nothing new here. It galls me when some call Israel a terrorist state. It is merely trying to survive. The history of the Jewish people has been a sad one and after centuries of being victimized they are finally in a position to say "never again." It is a precarious position sure, they are surrounded by enemies, but they are not going to go quietly into the night. Why should they? If their armed forces occasionally use "disproportionate" force (whatever that is), it is certainly understandable (albeit unfortunate) given their history and current position.

Ever watch that show called The Amazing Race ? It is sort of silly but at the same time a bit addicting. The contestants go from place to place trying to accomplish some often very difficult tasks before moving on to the next. The winners win some sort of huge monetary prize. It would be really interesting if they had a segment that was filmed in Israel. Perhaps they could be tasked with defusing dud rockets or something. Now that would be good television. Television worth watching.

I was going to get into a video posted by the fruitloop at Driftglass driftglass.blogspot.com taking a shot a the South (Mississippi in particular). Of course the editors of the video showed us the most backwoods rednecks they could find and pawned them off as a representation of us Southrons. Some of the video appears to have been shot in front of a Wal Mart (imagine that). I may or may not get into this cheap shot at another time. If the South is so bad then why do people from the northern states continue come on down and set up shop?  Is is to teach us ignorant Johnnies some culture? Is that it? I think it is to better their own lives. But that's just me. I could be wrong.


Now a bit of vintage Rule 5. The lovely and talented Taija Rae.
