Tropical Storm LaKeisha

Tropical storm LaKeisha?  Not really. There is something brewing in the Caribbean and the next will be an "L" named storm. I'm just trying to be accommodating you see. Just as any good American and proud supporter of Sheila Jackson Lee would.

 I'm just funnin ya. Not my intention to offend but if one happens to indeed be offended, well, that's showbiz hoss.

Live Blogging From the Location of the Real Weather Story

Let me preface this little rant by saying that they dodged a bullet up there in the NE. Very lucky indeed they are. There is some damage and unfortunately a few people lost their lives and this is indeed a tragedy. It could have been a heck of a lot worse. Can you imagine a Cat 3 or 4 running through the region? That would have been devastating. Thankfully the "scientists" were wrong again and this will not turn out to be the "storm of the century." At least they got the track right. This usually does not happen. It was also well that the political leadership in the region advised people to leave the immediate impact areas. One of these storms can go from a minor tropical event to a major storm in a relatively short time period and vice versa. Thankfully the "vice versa" was the order of the day here.

Yesterday I was at a grocery store and came back to a temp reading on the car thermometer of 116 degrees. Have not seen that one before. Of course the temp dropped as I left the lot and got on the road to a very comfortable 105. It is hot here in the Republic and that is the real story. Just the loss of agricultural products alone is a huge cost. It would be nice if Irene had come ashore along the Texas shore somewhere. We could use the rain while the NE is over saturated.

You know, come to think of it, that Dumbass Sheila Jackson Lee said we need to name some storms that sound a bit more ethnic. I have always thought that Aquanetta has a nice ring to it.

Yep it is hot here. Hot as a bastard as they say. I have often wondered just who this bastard is. Do I want to meet him or not? It seems he is always hot or cold and always seems to be in some sort of pain. The other day I dropped a snare drum on my foot and it sure hurt like a bastard I can tell you. One thing this bastard is not though is fine. I have never heard someone say "she is fine as a bastard." Usually they refer to the  mofo when discussing this type thing. Apparently this mofo is also in pain quite often though. I guess I am not sure really if the pain in my foot hurt more like a mofo or a bastard. Just can't say for certain. I can also remember being drunk as a mofo a number of times. Apparently a mofo likes to tie one on. Here and there as the case may be.

Saturday Night Blabbering

The non stop coverage of Hurricane Irene is just a bit over the top. It is after all Cat 1. Dangerous to be sure and there have been some tragedies. Devastating? Probably not. Of course there will be damage and some folk will probably be out of power for a few days but it is not something of the magnitude of a Katrina, Ike, Rita or Andrew. It is blown somewhat out of proportion. Not to say there won't be problems sure, but lets just keep it all in perspective. Unless the thing stalls or strengthens then it probably won't be an earth shattering event for most folk. At least let us hope not. It would be bad to see an "Allison" type of scenario. This thing will be a monumental pain in the ass but hopefully no more than that. The nonstop coverage on this one is just a bit extreme. Or not.

Today I went to a shoe store and looked around a bit. Almost all shoes are now made in Red China. Such names as Minnetonka, Crocs, and Nunn Bush are all made by the Communist Chinese at the expense of the American worker. I could go on.  Shameful.  I could not help but recall when that John McCain said something about these type jobs "not coming back." Guess not John. You and your ilk have certainly had your hand in destroying the country.

It is being reported that there were no incidents of inappropriate politics in the decision to deny Houston a Space Shuttle. Houston? Yes the home of Mission Control is not going to have a shuttle to display. Sad and pitiful. Fairly recently that odious Chuck Schumer attempted to rub salt in the wounds of Houstonians. Pathetic this Schumer. Not much good for anything but running his mouth. He is another one who is doing his level best to destroy our nation. That this Schumer is scum is a fact that is not seriously in dispute.

I am pretty sure there was some "inappropriate politics" involved. How could there not be?

Ramble? Hell Yes I Will

As usual there are a couple things that just need to be discussed this morning. For the good of the country you understand.


It is apparent that some bar owners in Michigan are banning some lawmakers from their places of business to protest a "smoking ban." Good for them. Everyone knows that smoking is a bad and dangerous habit, but that is the breaks. If a business owner decides to let people smoke in their place of business then so be it. H/T oldretiredpettyofficer.blogspot.com and Mike at acopswatch.blogspot.com.

On a sort of related note it seems to me that at least some folk under the age of 21 should be allowed to have a drink in a bar. I am talking about of course those active duty military folk who defend us. After a hard day of shooting at Mohammedans, or in the case of U.S. troops, getting shot at by Mohammedans and then asking permission to shoot back, it seems that having a cold beer is in order. Should be a right. I understand the need to keep drunks off the road of course and I do know that most 18 year olds (and a lot of 40 year olds) can't handle their booze, but for those who serve our nation.....Give me a break. Let them have at least some suds.

Did you know that Dumbass Sheila Jackson Lee has a BA from Yale? How is this possible? The poor woman can't speak proper English and has about a sixth grade understanding of geography and history. It must have been an affirmative action type of thing. Oh. Is that going too far? Sorry. Perhaps it is time you be honest with yourself. There is no possible way that this woman is, as they say, "Ivy League material."

You know, on second thought, perhaps Dumbass Sheila Jackson Lee is Ivy League material. Have you noticed that those who continue to damage our country often have some link to the Ivy League? A friend of mine reminded me that ex major league catcher Brad Ausmus was a Dartmouth grad. Or was it Cornell? I don't recall.  At any rate, the only thing Brad ever damaged was the collective batting average of the Astros. He could not for the life of him hit the ball. He was a damn good catcher though. One of the best. I recall when he would catch for Billy Wagner. Remember him? The wild closer. I used to think that if Brad weren't playing baseball we might be calling him "Doctor" Ausmus and if Wagner wasn't such a rocket arm we would be telling him to "get in the truck." I wonder what kind of conversations Ausmus and Wagner had on the mound. Pretty sure they did not discuss microbiology. I always liked Ausmus. Perhaps the Ivy League can't be all bad.

Frederica Wilson just might be in the same league as Dumbass Sheila Jackson Lee. Not sure yet. I need to do a bit more analysis. I'm thinking she might just run a close second to ole Sheila. One thing I do know - No one can take her very seriously as long as she is running around in those pimp hats. She looks like an aging hooker in that getup she sports.

Maxine Waters? Hell we may as well discuss her. I am not real sure myself, but there are allegations out there that she is a criminal. Is this true? I wouldn't know, but I will say that very often when there is smoke there is fire. I am not sure why there is not some "real" investigation into her alleged wrongdoing(s).

OK now on to Cynthia McKinney. This woman is a traitor. I would think that she needs to be investigated for espionage. Anyone who goes on Iranian (and Libyan) television and bashes her country is possibly giving the enemy sensitive information. Thankfully she is no longer a member of Congress.  She will probably be back though.

McKinney, Wilson, Waters, and Dumbass Sheila Jackson Lee? Yes I know how it looks. Some would say, "Cabbie you are a racist and misogynist." Not true (particularly). It is not my fault that the voters in those districts put buffoons in office. It is not my problem that these particular office (and ex office) holders happen to be African American women. I am simply pointing out that they are all guilty, in my opinion, of high buffoonery, and in the special case of McKinney, the possibility that she is an "agent" of at least one enemy nation.

The earthquake to hit the East Coast this week caused a bit of a stir but thankfully very little damage. It is interesting that a quake in Colorado was recorded shortly before. "Unrelated" say the scientists. OK. Case closed. The discussion is over. Right.......Anyway, this particular little shaking of the earth is nothing compared to a hurricane blowing through town. Some of those folk don't know the pain in the ass that is in their immediate future. Perhaps Mayor Bloomberg can ban the hurricane. I am wondering if there will be looting and rampaging in the streets of some of those eastern towns before it is all said and done.  That won't happen here in the Republic of Tejas. Weuns is all armed round here and would be ashootin at looters. That is one reason you don't typically see that type of looting activity in these parts. That and the fact that folk here are just a bit more laid back for the most part. Our women are prettier also. Us Texicans and Southrons in general are just better looking than a lot of folk. Be honest. You know it to be true.

 Now put that in your pipe and smoke it.

A Case For Trial Lawyers?

Phillip Seaton, a Kentucky truck driver, is reportedly suing one Dr. Patterson for removing his ding dong during routine surgery. If there ever was a case for a trial lawyer this is it. Most lawyers are the scum of the earth and that really goes without saying, but there are times when one needs to hire a one of these creatures. This would be one of those times. Dr. Patterson alleges that Seaton had penile cancer and that lopping off his dong was the only option. Perhaps so, but I would think that Seaton had the right to know that his wang needed removal. Give him some time to think about it as it were.

I know that the trial lawyers cause a lot of problems and many of them are a parasites on society, but for those who say they need to be curtailed, well, come talk to me about it after someone slices off your willy. I would imagine you will be singing a different tune.

Unappreciated Band. Unappreciated History.

The Brandos is the name of the band. The tune is Gettysburg. I used to listen to these guys back in the day and unfortunately never got a chance to see them live. That would have been quite a show. I am not a real big fan of the "rockabilly" style but these guys are something special. That they never got their due is a shame. This particular tune is their signature work probably and I find it hauntingly beautiful. Every time I hear it I am reminded again of the great pride I feel in our country and the struggles we, as a nation, have overcome. The tragedy of the American Civil War was perhaps a necessary step in our growth. From a backwater that still feared a combination of European powers we emerged from that conflict as a nation that feared no one. Needed to apologize to no one. Why we feel the need now is sad. I don't feel the need to apologize to anyone for our country but I am out of touch. We feed and defend those who often don't deserve it and then apologize for being such an evil, self indulgent folk. We allow those into this country, who often have no idea nor care what we stand for. They often disdain who we are and are apt to prefer their third world "culture" to what we offer here. Of course we then apologize for not being understanding enough of them. We are the ones in the wrong it seems. To those who come here and denigrate or attempt to damage our country -  I damn them.

To those who feel the need to apologize and accommodate the ungrateful - I piss on them.

This Past Week? Boy Howdy.

This past week has been a crazy time for the country and the world at large. Some of the episodes do not bode well for Western Civilization and some were just humorous.

China has concluded the sea trials on her very first aircraft carrier. Nimitz class it is not sure but rather some old Soviet junk. Still, they have to start somewhere. China will be a very real danger to the world in due time. Her neighbors, who thankfully fear and hate her, will be looking toward their defense capabilities against this behemoth.

The UK riots have calmed down it seems. Wonder if the threat of playing baseball quelled the violence.

The Arab Spring is raging in Syria, Yemen, and Libya. None of this is good for the security of the West. Is it better to retain dictatorial regimes in the region or not? Whichever is to the advantage of  what is left of Western Civilization is the best option.

Israel and the "Palestinians" are again coming to blows. It never really stops, but escalation will likely be the order of the day. We will soon see how far this goes.

Michele with one L Bachmann has stated that as POTUS, she will keep the gasoline prices around two bucks a gallon. That is great! How will she do that? She doesn't know of course. All candidates for office get a pass on an occasional goofy statement but this one shows a complete lack of understanding of the real world. She is now confirmed, in my mind at least, to be a loon. I always suspected it.

There is something bad wrong with the economy when the markets react wildly to any bit of bad (or good) news. I won't be surprised if the DOW is down around 7,000 before the smoke clears. Won't be surprised at all.

The Piers Morgan vs Christine O'Donnell episode is quite amusing. I must say that as much as I believe Piers to be a cad, he is the one in the right here. It was interesting when O'Donnell mentioned something about "getting to talk about what she wants to talk about" on the show. That is not a direct quote but you get the gist. Piers believes otherwise. He called her a "politician" as if he were speaking of a poisonous snake. He is right on the money. Any journalist worth their salt makes it their business to grill the political class. It is journalistic duty to disdain, distrust, and if necessary, to fairly destroy those who deem themselves worthy of leading. No Christine. A politician does not get to chose what questions they are asked. The news media is not your personal P.R. machine. It is your enemy. It is their job to find the dirt on the likes of you. To make you wish you had not crawled out from under the rock as it were. Any journalist who gives any sort of pass to any political type due to party affiliation, personal positions, etc. is doing the profession a disservice. Unfortunately there seems to be very few journalists left in the modern American media.

I guess that is just about enough ranting for now.
