Blah, blah, blah

"Do not threaten me", he said with a wimpy little lisp. "I will sick a team of lawyers on you!" He started to perspire onto his brown Save the Rainforest T-shirt.

Remember the Hostage Crisis under the esteemed Jimmy Carter? The Iranians laughed at his wimpy little chicken hearted tactics. They knew he was a wimp and would never take any real action because the pansies who supported him would get "really angry" at him.  Maybe Neil Young or Bruce Springsteen would write  some lambasting lyrics about poor Jimmy. Heaven forbid.

Here we are again dealing with the same supposed tough guys. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Line in the sand and all of that. They have some bug up their butt about how they should control the region in which the whole world gets it's gas. Nice try.

Too bad the current leader of what used to be the most powerful country on Earth is much like the man(?) in my opening sentence above, afraid of what the hand wringers of the world would think of him.

Remember when Reagan took office and how the Iranians backed down? They basically ended it that day. (The libs like to attempt to rewrite that part of history to give old Jimmy more credit than he is due, bit only public schools grads believe it).

11 more months the Iranians have to talk trash. 11 more months of them having to negotiate with Hillsy. 11 more months of them and their "we will show you how tough we are" BS.

Thank God it is almost over.

Many of us never thought we would get this far. 3 years ago it seemed like forever to get to 2012 and our chance to throw the fool out of office. If we can all just hang on to our money, if we are lucky enough to have any, after he and his cronies take it all from us, we can vote NoBama in November.

Hurry up November and get here!

Sitting in my car at the gas station. Right next to the pumps with my driver's side door open. All ready to pump but one little problem exists. I forgot my debit card. No cash either (what is cash?).

I am in a big hurry. Meeting some possible clients across town, although my town is only 5 miles wide, in less than 15 minutes. Tank close to empty. Darn!

I wonder aloud. Why do we not have some type of gas entitlement program? It is not really my fault that my tank is on E. Come on now, with the price of gas, and the MPG of my older sports car, I should not really be held responsible for buying gas every stinking time my tanks gets low. Add to that the fact that I am sincerely trying to add to my communities economy by brokering a big deal here.

What if I was on my way to the hospital in a life and death situation? What if I was an illegal immigrant who could not pass the E-verify stuff, and thus could make no money? What if I was unemployed and on the way to job interview? What if I was on my way to be the best man (?) in a transgender wedding? What if I was on my way to a big protest?

Lifetime politicians who pander to entitlement junkies, listen up!

There was once a Seinfeld episode where George Costanza was trying to extend his unemployment benefits for another month or so. He was working all kinds of games in his attempt to buffalo the unemployment counselor. Jerry made the comment that George was working harder at collecting unemployment than he would at a job. Resembles the Occupy people to me.

Whether they are employed or unemployed, they are working pretty darn hard at protesting. I mean come on, anyone who has ever been camping knows that setting up a tent, and then a complete camp site is not easy. In addition, there are the neighbors to contend with. If you have ever set up camp next to a loud group of all night partiers, you know of what I speak.

Standing in a free food line does not look or sound fun to me. It is cold outside and the food cannot be that appetizing. Plus the line is long and there is realy no where to eat. Add to that the dealings with law enforcement. Keeping on the move in order to stay ahead of them must be a real chore. I mean where do you find all of the rocks to throw?

Finally the whole sign thing. I would think that in order to succeed at protesting and impress your Occupy friends, one would have to continually come up with new signs, and that would mean thinking up new slogans and sayings to put on the signs.

Sounds like work to me.

They say the ancient stone cutters of the Orient would take 10,000 wacks at the rock before it would even show any signs of chipping and on the very next swing, it would break apart.

Many of us in this country are glad that our military never gave up the search for the man who sent all of those Americans to their deaths on September 111th all of those years ago. Many of us have waited and waited for this. I am sure that many of us thought it would never happen. 

My favorite story from yesterday is the one where students and locals from around GW University sang "Hey Hey Hey Goodbye!"

No virgins in hell.

Read an article this morning where Sarah Palin gave a speech at a California college in the central valley. I know the area and the college. She laid the truth on the line when she basically said " the Feds are taking away the lives of farmers in that area due to a 3 inch fish". That story should be known by most already. The fish is obviously more important to libs than the people. Nothing new.

What is new in this story was buried at the bottom. State ( and liberal) Senator Leland Yee came out and said that Mrs. Palin should have done the speech for free because "some of the strudents cannot afford to go to college". He also stated that she should have done it gratis for the goodness of the college.

Ok here we go. Hey Leland buddy, do you do your job for free? Why don't you not take a salary this year becuase many in your state cannot afford things? Better yet, how about you and your colleagues, besides not taking a salary, lower all state fees, property taxes, and sales taxes for the goodness of the state? How about reversing some, or all of the states BS regulations that make it hard for folks to start a new business, or operate an ongoing one?

Leland, maybe you could find out for those students, how many of them that grew up in CA, while their parents paid taxes in that state, have to pay more tuition than some kid of an illegal who pays  much less. Maybe you could stop charging the folks who live in CA, and have for a long long time, taxes to pay for illegals who come there and expect the world on a silver platter, ie.- free food, medical, housing, and other goodies.

I submit this to State Senator Leland Yee:  You are the problem, not Sarah Palin!

No I did not stay up all night to watch the thing. I caught the high speed replay the next morning. Lots of great pics of the event were posted on the internet. This I garnered:

Not once did I see anyone covered head to toe in tats.

I never heard anyone drop the F-bomb.

Not one of the attendees showed up in drag.

The wedding was held in a church and the word God was spoken by the officiant.

The royals did not hire some out of date rock band from the 60's to do an intermission show.

The Queen looks great. Clean living I would guess.

And the best thing that I learned:

The Obamas did not get invited.

Another one? Come on. If a bunch of your colleagues have been getting in trouble for goofing off on the job, you would want to clean up your own act.

The FAA had to suspend (a bit too soft in my opinion) yet another air traffic idiot over the weekend. This clown was watching a DVD while working. Even funnier ( if you want to call it that) was he accidentally left the mic in the transmit position so that all of the pilots in the area could hear the movie, but none of them could transmit to the tower.

Obviously we have a problem in our air traffic control towers. It seems that everytime one of these folks gets caught, the FAA tells us that all is well and the problem is under control. And then Bammo!, another one bites the dust. Makes me want to go out and fly this week. Too late, already flew. Scary.

For one thing, the whole suspending of the worker is stupid. Firing without any recourse is the only way to go. These morons have lives at stake when they work. When they screw up people can die or get severely hurt.

Right now I am truly not sure about the brainpower therein. They are truly in a class by themselves.

Where is Ronald Reagan when we need him?

A little economic lesson is in store for GM and its backer: our government. So this is where our tax dollars went. Can't sell a product, ask more for it. Maybe I will start to run my biz that way in the future.

The big talk these days is when, not if, the price of gas will hit $5 per gallon. Take a quick look at the financial report this morning and you will see that the big 5 is probably not that far off.Yikes.

Next to the price of gas going up, the next biggest type of commodity that could cost all of us way too much money is food. And the price of food is going the same direction as the price of gas. Nowhere but up.

At the rate that both food and gas are increasing in value, or perceived value if you will, the 5 dollar gas may really get to us, but can you imagine if the price of corn hits...

One dollar per cob?

One dollar for a corn cob. How about a buck for a cucumber or a squash. I went to the store over the weekend and found that at the current ask price, tomatoes are about 50 cents each. Apples are about the same.

One dollar corn will be here before we know it.
