Stench at Louisiana Tech. Is It Still There?

A few years ago I had friends and relatives that attended Louisiana Tech University and I was told that there is a dorm that is almost exclusively inhabited by Mohammedans. The reason for this (so I have been informed) was that the stench was so obnoxious that no one else wanted to live there. I wonder if that is still the case? Is it Islamophobic or racist of me to bring this to your attention? This matter is not about racism. It is about stench. Naked stench. Religion has nothing to do with it either. You either stink or you don't. Don't know what made me think of that on this fine afternoon. Maybe because I am about to depart for the fair. Still relatively warm down here south of Houston.

Chris Mathews and "Homoerotica"

I did not see this but I have been informed that Chris Mathews, of MSNBC fame, questioned whether Rich Iott dressing up in an SS uniform (as a reenactor) was some kind of "homoerotic" thing. Of course the intent was probably to attempt to portray the man as a NAZI sympathizer which I must say is ridiculous. There are many history buffs that are reenactors. Their are literally thousands of Civil War reenactors in this country and a lot of them wear the Confederate uniform. I don't think that very many of them are advocates of slavery. Do you? I once thought seriously about joining a group that portrayed the 9th SS. I thought it would be cool and maybe even get a chance to be in a movie or something. That would have been fun. It was too far to drive for me and the cost was a pretty penny so I never did "join the SS." Probably just as well. In today's PC world it may be detrimental to have images of oneself in SS gear. No amount of explanation would suffice for the ignorant. I find it quite interesting that it would be Mathews to make some kind of connection to reenactment and "homoerotica." After all wasn't he the same guy that said Obama left him with a "thrill"(or was it chill) running up his leg? Perhaps Chris knows a bit more about "homoerotica" than he lets on. "Not that there is anything wrong with that" if I may quote one J. Seinfeld.  Those SS uniforms are pretty campy though. Aren't they Chris?

Cabbies Slain in Houston

There have been two cases of cab drivers who have been killed in Houston in the last few days. I am sure that robbery was the motive. Some cabbies carry hundreds of dollars on them at some times and that is not a wise thing. However there are some punks that will burn you down for ten bucks. One must be very careful in the taxi business. Can't rely on the cops, they are stretched thin enough. I know there are a lot of cabbies that "pack heat" as they say, even though it is "illegal" in the city of Houston for a cab driver to do so. This is even if they have a carry permit from the state. I would hate to have to challenge that in court but still I would rather be judged by twelve than carried by six. I hope that whoever is robbing and murdering these hard working people finds themself(ves)  down with a bullet in the face soon. Does that bother you? Sorry.

Social Conservatives and Leftist Social Engineers Are Close Relatives. Both are Dangerous

After following a different route heading in completely opposite directions a social conservative and a leftist social engineer meet in the same place and find that they are one in the same. They will not however recognize or admit this to be the case and each will damn the other for being a "fascist" with totalitarian and perhaps even "National Socialist" tendencies. They will both be right. For those of us that have the ability to recognize sewage when we smell it, this will be obvious, but for the "true believer" nothing could be further from the truth. How on earth could it be possible? How could a social conservative and a Marxist social engineer be closely related and often allies? How dare you Sir make such a comparison? Do you not see that my opponent is perverted and sick and has a twisted vision of America? That dialogue will be the forthcoming from both camps and all of the arguments and logic they will try to apply will still lead to the same conclusion. Social radicals from the left and right are approximately equally dangerous and totalitarian. Neither should have any place in mainstream American thought but there they are. Both at the forefront flying their flags and waving their banners and having the true unalterable belief that their way is the only way. The country will go to Hell if we believe otherwise. Their opponents are Hellbound for having an opposite view. Just ask them. They will be happy to tell you and if you are just gullible enough, you will be convinced. Then you too can fly the banners of the far right or extreme left and shout "hope and change" or scream about "the socialization of America "and the "Constitution." It is likely that you will not know what the hell kind of "hope and change" you are braying about or if you chose the opposite path, will not know what "socialism" is or the first thing about the Constitution of this great land. Why let that stop you though? You have become a part of something big. Something historic. You will gladly applaud and follow the likes of a Bloomberg or a Rev. Robertson. You will gladly keep gays from serving honorably or help secure our borders. You will be a party to misogynistic legislation or keep good people from practicing their legal habit in public places. You will be more than happy to keep gay couples second class citizens or you may become an apologist for and therefore an ally of radical Islam. It all depends on your perspective and which route you select. You can chose to be a "true believer" and follow the radicals of the left or right and therefore condone totalitarian thought and action. Or not. Your choice. Be forewarned though; if you chose the far left or the far right you have become a party to further damage to this nation. Remember when a radical leftist and radical social conservative accuse each other of being a fascist and odious both will be correct.

FBI vs Yassir Afifi

Just read an article where a lad, one Yassir Afifi, discovered a GPS tracking device on his car that was supposedly placed there by the FBI. Apparently Yassir was getting his oil changed when the device was discovered and removed by the technician. Whether this is a violation of Yassir's civil rights, I would not know. The fact that such a device was so easily discovered during an oil change reinforces my belief that the FBI is not staffed by real cops. I don't think I am alone in thinking this.

Hey It's Franklin

I have not felt like thinking on the issues of the day very deeply of  late. It is after all college football season and that is something that I do dwell a good deal on. Besides, the issues are just too depressing at times. The POTUS is a boob. We still have the Pelosi, Boxer, and Dumbass Sheila Jackson Lee in positions of power and I am not truly convinced that some of these "Tea Party" types are really any better. Perhaps we will just exchange one set of loons for another after the November elections. Of course there will be some "lame duck" time for these ousted Dems and God only knows what those un American fools will attempt. I am glad the college season will last for a good while yet. Anyway as my mind wanders away from the important issues I found myself wondering a good bit about this children's show Franklin. For those of you who are not up to date on shows that interest the young ones, Franklin is a television program about a turtle who hangs out with his friends. There is always some moral lesson to be learned and of course things always work out well in the end. What is interesting about Franklin is that the main character (Franklin the turtle) is the only one that has a name. Everyone (sic) else is called by their particular species. Bear is Bear. Owl is Owl. Duck is Duck, etc. Franklin has a lot of friends and I don't remember them all. I think that "Owl" is their teacher. I may have that part confused with another show called Little Bear but they are essentially the same program with a different main character. It is quite interesting that all these animals hang around each other and everyone gets along famously.There is a total disregard for the realities of woodland creatures. For instance Owl never ever attacks Rabbit and flies off with him to enjoy a meal of fresh bunny. Fox does not try to dine on Duck. I guess that would be upsetting to the kids but it sure as hell would be amusing to adults. It is ok I think to show children that all creatures can be friends and get along. They will learn the realities of the world soon enough. Let them have their moment of innocence. Not all kids are so lucky in this world and that is unfortunate. Not too long ago I made up a nasty little song to the tune of the Franklin theme and amused myself for quite a while with it. Immature I know but my immaturity runs pretty deep I fear. I have been told that I should do stand up but I believe I lack the courage to risk "bombing" in front of a crowd. Be that as it may, I have tons of material and would be happy to hook up a "stand up guy" with some. Of course there would be a fee. Nothing is this life is free. Now with immaturity in mind; would it be considered immature to write in a candidate that is not really running for office? I have been tempted a time or two to write in Ron Jeremy or Long John (when he was still with us). Apparently there is some guy that calls himself "The Naked Cowboy" who has declared his intention to run for president. The only thing I know about him is that I heard he was going to sue someone who apparently calls herself "The Naked Cowgirl." I guess it is a trademark/copyright type of thing. That is all I know. Would a vote for him be immature? Would you be throwing away your vote to do such. Many have died to defend our right to vote in free elections and that has to be considered. Still in our country one can vote for anyone and that is good. Let us take a look at why a vote for the "Naked Cowboy" may not be such a horrible thing. It is probable that Obama will attempt to run for a second term. I can think of no credible Democrat who could challenge him except perhaps America's first "Black President." I think that Slick Willy has more sense than to go through that again though. Although I must say that Clinton (Bill) is the only Democrat that would have a prayer of winning a general election. Obama certainly will not get a second term. Now on to the Republicans. There have certainly been a lot of names bandied about. Personally the only one I like is Huckabee, but he would not stand a chance I don't think. Texas Governor Rick "Good Hair" Perry is a coward and that has been proven. Romney would be no good. Besides a man really can't trust another man with a "kiss me quick" haircut like the one he (and Perry) sport. John Bolton? You have to be kidding. Perhaps Bobby Jindal, but I doubt he would get the nomination. Palin? Can you say psychopath? Can you say phony? Look closely at her eyes and judge for yourself whether the woman is sane or not. Have I gone too far there for you? Many folks are in love with her, but I fear she is a sociopath. Nope I am not convinced that the Republicans are much better than the Democrats. Eight years under George II were not really banner years as far as I can tell. History will be the judge of that I suppose. There has been no real leader in office since Reagan. Whatever one may think of him, it is hard to deny that he had leadership qualities and brought a sense of pride back into our country. I don't see another Reagan on the horizon in either party. Do you? Of course you don't. A vote for the "Naked Cowboy" is no worse than a vote for any of these career politicians as far as I can see. They are ruining this country.
