At last

Christmas has come and gone at last. Now, we have new years looming in the near future. Then Valentines day, Easter, blah, blah blah. Endless holidays designed to perform several wallet-dectomies on you. Mugged by Santa. Robbed by sweethearts. Even the rabbit gets in his punches. It's a wonder that there are any men left standing by the Fourth of July. At least these interludes of thievery bring an occasional good meal. I remember with fuzzy fondness the good old days when I was traveling overseas and could basically ignore all these holidays. Now I'm trapped, just like the rest of you chumps, here in the land of plenty o' gimmee.

Only a couple of months until spring. I can't wait. I must apologize to you weather fans. I only thought it was cold here. It was 4 below in Mexico last night. The daytime temp here is around 60. I still get to watch the weather channel and laugh my ass off.

Unbelievable disaster in southeast Asia. Phu Ket was one of my favorite spots on earth. Now its destroyed. They say it may take 10 years to recover and rebuild. The videos of the calamity are horrendous.

No fishing yet. My spies back east say that they'll have an excellent trout season if they don't get frozen out. What's the deal with skiing? How could anyone want to go out in sub-zero weather just to slither down an ice covered mountain on two boards? Pure idiocy!

Holiday Cheer

First, I want to wish my fellow bloggers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Christmas has always been and always will be a special time when we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Some secularists, who do not believe in the Lord, have been trying with all their might to destroy Christmas and pretend it is a "winter break" or some such nonsense. If you encounter one of these immoral individuals, remember, they are on the slippery slope. If they continue their goddless ways, they have no hope. In the meanwhile, the rest of us will celebrate our Holy Day in the honored and traditional manner.

I will assume that some of you are now forced to agree with me that the weather definitely sucks. It has been painfully cold in most of the nation. Even the southland has been turned into a deep freeze. The situation here is better than most of the country. The next time you see one of those global warming nuts, punch him in the suck. Tell him Bassbelly told you to do it.

We are at the apex of the citrus season. My spies bring me bags of oranges, grapefruits, lemons and tangerines. We are eternally grateful for each and every bag of fruit. Thanks, guys and girls!!

I get no fishing reports from anywhere now. The deep freeze has brought that to a halt. When I was younger and a lot dumber, I would wait for this kind of weather to go goose hunting because all the wimps stayed home. I am afraid I have now joined the ranks of the wimps.

If you pray, say a little prayer for our troops fighting overseas. We are free because of them.

EVIL

There is an entity on this earth that is the most dangerous in the history of the world. It threatens our way of life and maybe our very existence. Is it the commies? Is it the muslims? Is it the red chinese? NONONO. It is the ACLU. They are the greatest evil ever faced by our country. They have burrowed their way into the very fabric of American society. They have taken over our courts. They hold every city, county and state hostage to their anti-American agenda. Is there a way to stop them? Sure. Ask your lawyer if he/she is a member of the ACLU. If the answer is "yes", get another lawyer. That's right, fire the SOB. Lawyers don't understand much outside of the mumbo-jumbo they call "juris prudence", but they understand money. There are 300,000 members of the ACLU. Dry up their funds and you dry up the nonsense they have wrought upon us. It really is the American Communist Lawyer's Union, you know. They have taken up the cause of the secularists. 30 years ago if these clowns had tried what they are doing today, they would have been lynched. 30 years of steady erosion of morals has given them an agenda to change our history, our society, the fiber of Americanism. I am not going to preach about the rightness or wrongness of any religion. I don't feel it is my job to make such judgements. I will, however, identify the evils that are lurking in our world and try to come up with viable solutions. The ACLU must be stopped. One way or another.

Sad to say, we are drifting into the end of the football season. I just don't feel right when I can't watch football. Maybe they should start a summer league. That way, we'd have about two weeks off in the spring and two weeks off in late summer. It would give us some time to get reacquainted with our wives and children. But not too much time. I keep getting these bad feelings about basketball and baseball. They seem to be populated with drug abusers and criminals. I'm not claiming that the NFL isn't. I just don't think that, on a percentage basis, these traits are as pervasive.

And now for my weather observation. It sucks.

Oh well

tits

So what's the deal with the FCC electronically blanking out the nipples on bare breasted women? Who are they protecting? Very small children get a real close-up view of nipples when they nurse. The older children are fully aware of what a bare breast looks like and what it's for. That is due, in part, because of recent court rulings that allow women to nurse in public. How, exactly, do they do that without whipping out a titty? Titties aside, I think it is reprehensible for the FCC to censor almost everything that comes to us on cable. After all, we pay for it. I think the FCC censors are just a bunch of uptight prudes who's missioon in life is to make us as miserable as possible. As far as complaints from viewers go, if they don't like it, punch the remote button and watch something else. Why should a vast majority of TV users be subjected to the views o f a few disgruntled idiots? This isn't freedom. It is a totalitarian set of rules created by an aggressive, unbending government. It is completely rigid and unforgiving. FCC, BOOOOOOO!!!

Sunday football was great!! My Seahawks won and Dallas lost. It doesn't get any better than that. And how about those Giants? Switching to a new quarterback isn't what makes their management true morons. Staying with the rooky is what makes them morons. They've got a real live hall-of-fame quarterback (Warner) sitting on the bench while their poor young rooky(Manning) goes out and gets his ass kicked every weekend. That isn't fair to the team, the fans and most of all to Manning. The coach, I.Q. almost zero, will probably not be with them next year.

Now for my usual statement about the weather. It sucks.

Oh well

Well, bye bye

It looks as though we are finally going to rid ourselves of the whole sordid Peterson drama. It is likely that he'll get the death penalty. Then, we won't hear from him again until they publish his book. It'll take 20 or 25 years to actually execute his sorry ass. He'd probably die sooner if they give him life. Such is the justice system in California.

I guess the whole country except southern California got dumped on by the same weather system thaat inundated the Philippines early this month. Even though it is still cold here, I still get the chance to watch the weather channel and laugh my ass off. I still have the miserable cold. It is getting better thanks to my short sweety. It is clear and sunny here. The temperature is a chilly 65. 2 1/2 months to go until winter crumps. I can hardly wait.

If I had a million bucks, I'd give about 50k to the police officer who gunned down that idiot who went berserk at the heavy metal concert. He has done the country a great service. As a bonus, we won't be overwhelmed by 24/7 news coverage of the murderer and everybody who ever knew him.

December 7 slipped by with hardly any notice of the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Have we become so chummy with the Japanese that we're willing to forget the atrocities they commited in the middle of the last century? December 7 should be a national holiday and a day of remembering the sorrow and death caused by the invaders.

My fishing buddy in North Carolina reports that the fishing has greatly improved over the last few weeks. He fishes mostly for the spotted weakfish, known locally as "trout." North Carolina had great fishing. Almost anywhere you dropped a line in the water you could catch fish. Another fishing surprise was upstate New York. Buffalo didn't have much going for it, but it did have some great fishing.

It looks like the Sooners will play USC for the national championship. Go Sooners! I have the perfect solution to the championship mess in NCAA football. Instead of playing all those out of conference games at the beginning of the season, why don't they start conference play at the beginning and save the non-conference stuff for after the conference champions are determined? That would give them about4 games to decide who's best. They could structure the playoffs so that the various bowls would get a crack at them and then rotate the championship game through the different bowls. Too easy?

Christmas

How did we ever allow our major religious holiday, Christmas, the celebration of the birth of our lord and saviour, Jesus Christ, to fall into the hands of the ACLU and the courts? Just about 2% of the people in these United States have a squawk against this holiday. That, by my calculation, leaves 98% who are for it. The 2% needs to be sat down and given a little lesson in "majority rules." We need to educate those judges who make truly stupid decisions in this regard. If they can't be educated, they should be impeached. Taking Christ out of Christmas started when we allowed the shortcut, Xmas, to gain a foothold. Some of the idiots who want to erase "Merry Christmas" and replace it with "happy holidays" are trying to be politically correct. The time has come to dump political correctness and embrace sanity. If the secularists don't want to celibrate Christmas, fine. They can have their "happy holiday" in February. I can seee no good reason to allow these bufoons to take over our #1 holiday. By the way, what do you think those ungodly dregs will say when they find out that "holiday" really means "holy day."

As long as I'm bitching about something besides the weather,(its still cold), I may as well put in my 2 cents worth about the Boy Scouts. The ACLU and a handful of pro-active judges are now attempting to totally destroy the Boy Scouts. The reason for this is that the Boy Scouts don't allow openly gay men to be scoutmasters. The reason is simple. If you don't reproduce, you must recruit. We don't need a herd of queers recruiting our youth into a life style that is completely abnormal.

Gosh, did I say "queers?" I did it on purpose. They have hijacked the word 'gay' because they didn't like the 'queer' tag that they had earned. Gay really means light hearted and happy. You see very few of these guys who are really happy. For the most part, they are a sad, sick bunch of mentally defective nuts. Of course we could call them "homosexuals", but that takes too long to spell, like "Christmas." Do you think I am homophobic? That would imply that I am afraid of them, since a phobia is an irrational fear of something. While I have no desire to hunt them down and thump them soundly, I certainly would not run from them. In fact, most of them, when confronted, display what I call "normalphobia." They will always run from normal people unless they have at least a tweny to one advantage.


Today is football day. Today I get to watch my mighty Sooners destroy the Buffaloes of Colorado. USC will soundly trounce UCLA. Auburn will most likely beat Tennessee. The wretched Irish will lose.
What has happened to the Washington Huskies? For years they were right at the top of the PAC10. Now, they dwell in the cellar. Next year, a new coach will attempt to bring them back into promenence. If he attempts that 'finesse' stuff, he'll bite the dust too. Washington was never a finesse team. They were always rough, tough giant players who enjoyed getting other teams into the mud and then squashing them.
The plot thickens around the steroid-filled baseball players. How many of them will be dragged down by this stupidity? Time will tell.

One good whine...

I got a couple of replies whining about my whining about the weather. The only useful suggestion was from the guy who told me to move to the Philippines. That was exactly my plan when I retired. Like Murphy says, "Every man has a plan that will not work." My plan was sunk by a heart attack. It is the same condition that keeps me pinned in this wretched valley. As for the guy who told me to "enjoy the balmy weather", bad weather is a matter of perspective. When you are used to tempertures around 105 degrees in the day time and overnight lows of 80, 55 or 60 is a miserable, cold bitch. I am considering trying to move to Sequim, Washington. I know that the weather is bad by our standards, but the fishing is good. I know it's colder on the average. It is not, however, wetter. Sequim gets the same annual rainfall as Los Angeles. As far as the fog goes, there is no worse fog on earth, and I have seen a goodly portion of it, that is as bad as the fog here. When you can't see the end of your hood, that's bad. Summing up, I will continue to whine about the weather until March or so. Then, once again, I can look at the televised weather reports and laugh my ass off.

Listen up, media pukes. WE DON"T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT SCOTT PETERSON!!!!! You have been beating us over the head with this idiocy for months. Every talking head on the tube has given his/her "expert" analysis of this case. Do we really need to hear anymore? NONONONO.

Another football weekend looms ahead. I will watch my Okies drub the Colorado wimps mercilessly. Tennessee has a chance of beating Auburn, but they'll have to get a little lucky to do it. USC will doubtless win again. Notre Dame will lose. Boo Hoo Hoo
Those super men of baseball are about to bite the big one. Turns out, they're a bunch of dopers. This is just what baseball needs. A drug scandal. Rats.

In an attempt to clean up his low-life image, michael moore has shaved and is wearing a suit. It won't work. Ann Richards, one time governeor of Texas once said "You can put lipstick on a pig. You can dress it in a party dress. You can perfume it, but it's still a pig!"

Aside from a bad, bad cold, I'm doing alright. I don't know how Norma has escaped it. She's gotta be, like really tough. She really takes excellent care of me. I am lucky to have her. I love her toooooo much!
