screwed again!!

Once again I must apologize. When I wrote the blog on food, I was unaware that I needed a PhD from the Culinary Institute of America to decide what's good and what's not. I was under the mistaken impression that 65 years of tasting various treats from around the world would automatically qualify me to judge assorted foods. I was also unawaare that I didn't have enough expertise to comment on cooking shows. Hell, I like cooking shows. I watch them all the time. Some of the favorite ingredients of the TV chefs leave me with a gag reflex in progress. I guess I'm just unsophisticated. One more thing, if you bring me a pizza with those foul little fish on it, it will immediately become wearing apparel for the provider. Sorry, that's the way it is.

Well, Schiavo croaked and immediately, the Pope's health declined. Now, all those media idiots have to leave Florida and go to Italy. Like the Schiavo case, they will cover this one 24/7 until we have had more than enough. Kind of makes me wonder what the next super duper event will be.

Boy, those people in southeast Asia are really catching hell. First the major tsunami and now a big, big earthquake. That is one of my most favorite areas in the world and now it is mostly destroyed. BOOOO.

Temp in Delano today was 79. No clouds. No wind. Summer is coming!!! At last.

What's cookin'?

Now for a few thousand well chosen words about the culinary arts. First, let me list the things in the food world that we can easily do without:
1. Garlic. This foul weed seems to find its way into everything we cook and everything we order at restaurants. It smells bad. It tastes bad. It makes you smell bad. On the other hand, it is an excellent birth control device.
2. Anchovies. While I really like most fish, the anchovy doesn't really seem to be a fish. It is more like some vermin from the sea. A water-borne cockroach. Anchovies taste like a big scoop of dirt. TV chefs think these wretched little beasts are wonderful. They are wrong. The only use I have ever found for anchovies is as bait.
3. "Al Dente". My ancestors spent numerous generations learning to cook food so it is done. Al dente is not done. It is under cooked. If I want to chew something crunchy, I'll eat an apple. You may COOK my pasta, please.
4. Complex recipes. These recipes are presented to us as something the home cook can easily accomplish. LIES!!! Most of them are multi-ingredient masterpieces that require exotic fruits and/or vegetables and meats that can only be obtained on safari. Some ingredients are not now, never have been, and never will be available to the general public. These recipes describe techniques and equipment found only in 5 star restaurants. Preparations times vary between 5 hours and 5 days. Who has the time?
5. Strange foreign words. Most TV chefs deem it necessary to use phrases and descriptions that are totally foreign to 99% of the American people. We can't tell what the hell they're talking about. I am sure that they could use plain english in their descriptive presentations. Like lawyers, they seem to be unable to speak clearly in understandable english.
6. How many of you guys have 5 ovens, 6 cook tops, a grill, a buit-in deep fryer, a broiler and 50 square feet of counter space. None of you? Gee, I'm shocked. You probably don't have $5000 worth of pots and pans either.

And now for the Delano weather report: It sucks.

Last time!!!

I promise, this is the last time I will mention the plight of Schiavo. In my last blog, I said that they should just let her croak. Bill O'Reilly had a much better idea. He said that the husband should withdraw his suit, make a public statement that he had done his best to fulfill her wishes, but now was willing to turn guardianship over to her parents. This would solve several problems. First, and most important, it would dry up the media coverage because if there is no controversy, there is no story. Second, it would relieve Mr. Schiavo of the financial burden for her recovery. It would also remove the state's responsibility for her hospital bills. The parents could finance them from donations. Third, it couldn't hurt anything. She would continue to live. She is not in pain so there would be no harm done. All this would work unless Mr. Schiavo has some nefarious reason not to let it go. The only good thing about this whole sordid affair is that we haven't heard about Michael Jackson or Scott Peterson for a week.

I must apologize! I guess I was being much too subtle when I expressed my views on illegal, criminal aliens in our country. Allow me to provide some detail. The first act of an illegal is to commit a federal felony by crossing the border illegally. If they are caught, they should be immediately deported. The U.S. Army should be assigned to patrol our southern border. They should be given permission to shoot to kill if they detect invaders. All illegals found hiding in this country should be rounded up, loaded on barges and shipped to southern Mexico with a warning that to return is to die. The Mexican government should have heavy sanctions levied against it for providing aid to the invaders. The drug laden, disease infected criminals must not be allowed to invade our country. Any criminal foreigners in our jails should be shipped directly to President Fox. How much longer are we going to stand for this crap? Are you aware that there is a movement among Mexicans living in our country to take back the southwestern states? I'm all for legal imigration. I know many people who waited and waited for visas to enter this country legally. It is an insult to legal imigrants to allow the criminal invaders to live here. NO AMNESTY!!!!! Well, I hope this clears up any misunderstanding or questions you may have had on my stance on criminal invaders.

A really good friend of mine on the east coast is retiring at the end of the month. I am sure he will be a lot happier out of work than he ever was while he was working. Retirement is great, but the "golden years" suck.

I can finally hobble around the hoouse. It has been almost a week since I blew out my foot. I've been confined to quarters until today. It is hard to believe how much we depend on two good legs. My wife, busy little bee that she is, whipped right out last Sunday and got me some crutches. I damned near killed myself trying to learn how to operate the things. Never was successful. I guess you really can't teach an old dog new tricks.

And now for the Delano weather report: It sucks.

Benefits

As much as I dislike this miserable valley, it does have some good features. For example, this morning one of my wife's little friends dropped off a huge bag of oranges and tangerines. These are not the kind you find in the stores in the north. The oranges are as big as grapefuits and the tangerines are as big as oranges. They came out of the fields this morning, so you just know they are sweet and juicy. A little later in the year, we will receive boxes and baskets of grapes.
We get grapes here in some varieties unknown to people outside this valley. So, I guess there are some compensations for living in this fishless place.

The mindless media, as usual, has gone completely berserk with their coverage of the Brian Nichols affair. While it is to be admitted that he is a very violent criminal, devoid of any traits that make him worth rehabilitating and knowing that he deserves to die as soon as possible, the media will not admit that the rest of the world did not stop turning as soon as this murdering idiot pulled the trigger. They have covered him 24/7. GIMMEE A BREAK!!!
You have probably noticed that Scott Peterson, another convicted murderer, is back in the news. The media wants you to believe that there are new developements in his case. The real reason, as predicted by this humble author, is that his new book has come out. How the hell can the prison system allow such atrocities? The entire United States prison system should take lessons from the sheriff in Arizona. His prisoners get no TV, no weight room, no library. They get to sleep in tents, winter and summer. They don't get really good food and he makes the men wear pink! That's my kind of law enforcement. There are almost NO returnees to his jail. Gee, I wonder why?

Now the wretches in the "human rights" organizations are starting to whine because, apparently, the number of prisoners at gitmo is dwindling. They fear that the U.S. is turning these low-lifes over to other governments for more thorough questioning. They know, and have known all along, that we treat our prisoners better than anyone in the world. They also know that if the Pakistanis or the Saudis get their hands on them, they will squeal like pigs. It's their own damned fault. They shouldn't have raised so much hell with the military. They shouldn't have tried to get them protection just like US citizens. I have no sympathy for the prisoners. The only thing I can says to the human rights advocates is: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Once again the communist ACLU has shot themselves in the foot. I wish they would shoot themselves a little higher up. Say, just above the neck.

Now that summer is approaching, the moronic children with their obnoxious ghetto blasters are starting to creep out from under their rocks and back out onto the street. The usual motif is a nice looking truck or car with a 5,000 watt stereo system playing at full volume. Here's a little stock tip. Buy hearing aid company stocks. All of these stupid little jerks will need auditory assistance soon. Oh, what I'd give for an RPG!!!

It has cooled off today. Once again the temperature has plummeted to less than 70 degrees. BOOOO!! No fishing yet. BOOOO!! Once again, the weather here sucks.

80 degrees!

At last the temperature has hit eighty degrees. It is almost warm enough to think about fishing, swimming and other sports for the mentally sound. If the weather holds like this or starts another upward climb, I should be fishing in a week or two. Note that while I was whining about the lousy weather, I never said I couldn't take it. I used to romp in that foul white crap, hunt in it, fish in it and drive in it. Then, I matured. I now am fully aware that so-called "winter sports" are really just a way for those trapped in the deep throws of ice and snow to compensate for their utter misery. They seem to be disturbed by the fact that some of us were smart enough to move out of those latitudes, while they were not. Over the long, frozen years, their brains have become defective from being iced down 90% of the time. They have my heartfelt sympathy and I hope they will accept my condolences.

I'll admit that wretched California is the home of west coast communism, but it is no worse than Massachusetts or New York. Those who are trapped in the asphalt jungles of the east have no real idea about mountains, plains and unending coast lines unless they have been fortunate enough to visit the west. Not California, but Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. Those of us who are fortunate enough to be westerners, believe that the entire east coast from Boston to Norfolk is covered in concrete and asphalt. It is loaded with crooks, criminals and communists. It is rife with corporate scum who embezzle the nations money. Several of my best friends are stuck in this horrible beehive. Since they know nothing else, they are probably trapped for good.

Once again, I am in the preliminary stages of planning a cross country tour. I hope I have better luck this year than in years past. Every time I try to go, I am stopped by physical BS. Ah, to be twenty again!! I don't care what AARP says, the "golden years" suck.

This is the month I pay off my computer. I mention this because microsoft has announced their new windows system "longbow". I am wondering if we can just upgrade to it or will we have to buy a whole new platform. Also, my pool crawler is on its last legs. It has lasted 9 years and beeen repaired many, many times. My pool service informs me that the next time it breaks, there will be nothing left to repair. I examined the device and found they are right. New ones are big bucks. I hope the taxman is good to me. Oh well.

Operation a success!!

Did you notice? A major cancer has been removed from the American news scene. Little Danny Blather, after years of stupidity in broadcast journalism, has been removed from the tumerous CBS channels. Many of us have prayed for this for years. He was a hard case liberal who stood slightly to the left of Karl Marx. I think he dragged the entire news industry downward toward liberalism. My only regret in this whole sordid episode is that I am writing a farewell instead of an epitaph.

The weather continues to grow warmer by the day. And now a word for those of you who back east who accused me of being a puss for whining about the weather: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Are you enjoying those 5 foot snow drifts? Got icicle?
It was 77 here today in bright sunshine. My latest source of amusment on TV is the weather channel. It provides hours and hours of laughs.

Are you guys sick of Michael Jackson? I am. Every minute of every day on every news channel, we are force-fed the king of pop. It resembles the OJ trial. I immediately switch to another channel when the Jackson trial comes on. What a bore!!

My buddy Carl isn't fishing. He says the fishing at this time of year in Carolina sucks. Every time he calls, he wants to know if I've been to the ditch (aquaduct) to fish for stripers. Saddly, I haven't. I'll bet the fishing is good in Washington. Trout season is about to start. Wish I was there. If someone out there is catching any fish, let me know.

I guess the grandchildren won't be coming for spring break. Damned shame. Well, there is always this summer. At least that is something to look forward to.

Luckily, we got some fish and crabs from some friends up at Kodiak. Those crab legs sure were good. yum

At Last

Warmer weather is almost here! It got up to 75 today, which is my thermal cutoff point. I was able to leave the outside door to the bedroom open all day and got it aired out. 2 days from now, it will be 80. 2 weeks from now, it'll be 90. Summer is upon us!!

Teddy "boy" Kennedy, you know, the murdering rummy from Mass., is back in the news making stupid statements about the President and the present administration. He called them Hitlers. What a moron. It is a real mystery to me why the people of Massachusetts contiue to elect this idiot. It seems to me that he shouldn't be running around loose making dumb-ass remarks about other politicians. He should be in jail. Along with Bill and Hillary. All crooks. I guess those Bostonians are as stupid as I always thought they were.

Social Security was nice enough to raise our medicare premiums just enough to wipe out our cost of living increase. We therefore netted a big el goose-o eggo. I'm really worn out with politicians. It seems the only time our wallets are not in danger of recieving a cashectomy is when congress is not in session.

Its still a little chilly for fishing, but the time is fast approaching. I can almost taste those fresh surf perch. I hope I find a good spot so I can take my grandchildren there this summer. No word from Carl, my east coast fishing buddy on how is doing fishing. When he's quiet, its no good.

Now for the Delano weather report: It still sucks, but not as bad as it used to. Oh well.

the food chain

I just knew there had to be a lower form of life in this country than Michael Moore!! There is. It's name is Michael Newdow. He is the sleazy, ambulance chasing, egotistical, anti-American dick head who is filing all these suits in federal court to completely secularize America. This idiot is more dangerous than Osama Ben Laden. Why? Well OBL took down a couple of buidlings and killed a bunch of people. Buildings can be replaced. Newdow is tearing at the very heart of American society. He is attempting to undermine 200 years of history with his inane rhetoric about God in government. He claims to be all for the Constitution, yet he attempts to destroy it. Already having been turned down by the Supreme Court, he is now filing lawsuits in all 13 district courts. Does he have a chance? No, except for the ninth circuit court here in California. They are a group known for their extreme liberalism and anti-American rulings. They are also trying to dismantle the American way of life, so they should get along rather well with Newdow. What can be done about this maniac? Well, very little that's legal. I guess someone with a lot of bucks could start filing lawsuits against him for depriving the rest of us of our right to our heritage. If I were younger, I might take some more direct action, but those days are long gone. Another thing we can do is to support the organizations that are fighting him in the courts. Just punch "newdow" into your browser.

It finally stopped raining. There is a lot of fog and it is still cold, but at least it rains no more. The pool was 1 inch from overflow when it quit. The weather sucks.

I don't think anybody but Carl is fishing yet. It shouldn't be too long until we see some major improvement in the weather. Then, its off to the coast. I can't wait.

Another little girl in Florida is missing from her home over night. While I am not a big advocate of vigilanteism, I think they only way to stop these guys is for the people to find them, take them to a secluded spot and do really terrible things to them. Then lynch 'em. The courts are much too slow and the punishment much too mild for these sickos. Am I suggesting that we, the people, should take these matters into our own hands? Hell yes!!

Once again, this year, I am going to attempt to grow tomatoes. My past experiences in this endeavour have been abject failures. Sometimes, I even measure the pH of the soil. It doesn't seem to matter. Tomato plants left in my care are invariably doomed. I will, however, give it another shot. Because I am obstinate and hard-headed, that's why. My wife can grow anything. She doesn't seem to follow any scientific formula. She just puts the seeds in the ground and raises beautiful fruits, vegetables and flowers. She's kind of like Johnny Appleseed. She goes to the garden and flicks seeds and other mysterious items in what looks like a random pattern. She gets acres of healthy plants. When I try it, I get acres of garbage.

I am still hoping that my grandchildren will visit at spring break. We seem to have acquired a step-grandson to go along with the rest of the herd. I think it is great!! I can hardly wait to see the entire menagerie.

Have you ever been late on a payment and then get a phone call from some foreign sounding chump? Well they sound that way because the are foreigners. Most of them are in India. I refuse to discuss my finances with anybody overseas. Especially foreigners. If you want to bug me, use Americans, in America. Try to insure that they speak english. Some don't. Oh well.

What did he say?

As predicted, the buffoon, Howard Dean, is dragging his party right down the slippery slope by making racial slurs, promoting bigotry and perpetrating other items of idiocy. As head of the DNC, he was the almost unanimous choice for that position by the Republicans. The Republicans want to watch him as he slowly but surely scuttles the dumocrap boat. I guess we may have finally answered that question; How stupid can they get?

Here's a list of things I don't give a rats ass about:
1. Scott Peterson
2. School boys receiving vitamin "P" from their female teachers
3. Chuck and Camille
4. Al Franken
5. The left wing, pinko Hollywood crowd
6. Michael Jackson
7. Mr. John Heinz, you know, the guy who ran for president last time and lost
8. Steroids
9. Hockey
10. Major league baseball
Of course, the list could be a lot longer, but these are the things I am really tired of hearing about. Does anybody out there give a big quack quack about any of them? Why?

Martha Stewart will be out of jail soon. Didn't you feel a lot safer when she was behind bars?Does she have to register as a kitchen utensil violator? How about as a serial cookie baker? The people who prosecuted her will eventually get what's coming to them. If they did this to teach everyone a lesson, the lesson they taught was; don't talk to the cops without a lawyer. I know I never will again.

It has rained more here in the last week than in the previous ten years. Everything is soaked. The pool is almost at flood stage. What a mess. The weather here sucks.

Shot

It looks like the dumocraps have finally blown themselves out of seriouis political consideration. As usual, they demonstrated their total ineptitude as marksmen. This time, they took dead aim at their foot and shot themselves squarely in the ass. Howard Dean???? You remember him. The amazing exploding politician. Went completely berserk in Iowa last year. Now he's head of the dnc. Look at the all-star cast behind him: Kennedy, Schumer, Feinstein, Boxer, Clinton and numerous other far left idiots. I wonder if they are too stupid too realize that they have now relegated themselves to what will probably be a big, fat #3 position nationally. The only question is, who will step into the #2 slot? My guess is that it will be the libertarians. At least the libertarians offer a viable alternative. The dumocraps have now scuttled their rusty old bucket. It is sinking fast. hahahahaha Maybe now we can get some reasonable federal judges.

It is now Valentine's day. I wonder if any of those secular dwarfs are celebrating. They should know that the full name of the semi-holiday is "St. Valentine's Day". When they understand the Christian nature of the day, will they take back they candy, flowers and jewelry, or will they show the true hypocritical nature of their evil little psyches? I almost escaped Valentine's day by pleading sick. Now, however, I am committed to taking her to the coast for dinner next week. I don't know why I keep trying when I know there is no way to win. Just stupid, I guess.

Summer is coming.

And now for the Delano weather report: It sucks.

Hearts and Flowers

Well, here it is. Valentines day. Women revere it, men despise it. Women love it because they think it is romantic. Men don't like it because it gives the lady surgeons another chance to perform a cashectomy on us. Candy (get fat). Flowers (don't last, probably poisonous). Jewelry (useless, expensive bobbles). Ugh!!! Please believe my sincerity when I say, "BAH, HUMBUG".

The last game of the football season has come and gone. (pro bowl) Now there will be a long, boring intermission until next season. It looks like the steroid scandal is going to hit about 80% of the baseball players. What a bunch of idiots. Take the dope, muscle up, get big bucks, die before you can spend it. Morons. Did you notice anything missing this year? I thought not. They cancelled the entire hockey season! For the first time ever, the hockey players will get to summer time with the same amount of teeth that they had last year. Ho Hum.

All those erectile disfunction drugs, viagra, cialis, etc. say that if you get an erection that lasts more than four hours you should call a doctor. I think I would call Hugh Hefner. Four hours? WOW!!!

And finally, the Delano weather report: It sucks.

Retract this!

I must print a retraction of a statement I made in an earlier blog. I said that my pal on the east coast had 40 years of government service. He quickly (maybe too quickly) pointed out that he had only 30 years of service. I would have sworn he told me he was approaching 70 years old and had 40 years in the government grind, but I guess he's only 60 years old with 30 years. I may have surmised his age and service after having seen some pictures of him. So Sorry!!

Does anybody give a damn about this Chuck and Camille deal? He's an adulterer and she's a fornicator. Together they are a royal pain in the ass. I guess now we'll have to live with weekly updates on the happy couple. Didn't we imigrate from Europe to avoid this kind of nonsense?

Is anybody out there fishing? I guess the only one, nation wide, is Carl. It is only a couple of weeks or so until it gets warm enough to go fishing here. I keep a full tank of gas in the car so I can shoot out at a moment's notice.

There is a lot of fog here in the valley. It will stay until the sun comes out for real.

What's with these mothers killing their babies? And then, they get off with no jail time, just go have your tubes tied and you're a good girl again. They should chuck their butts in prison for 200 years. Ah, the joys of ultra-liberal judges! They should all be fired.

While we're on the subject of justice, are you aware of the recent number of young female teachers who are laying some vitamin "P" on their male students? The female commentators are going nuts trying to convict the teachers. The male commentators are going along with it mostly because they don't want to subject themselves to the wrath of the females. Have you seen the teachers? They are knockouts. You know and I know that those male commentators are thinking the same thing you and I are thinking. "Those lucky little punks!! I'd boink her any day!!" If my son ever came home with a tale about boinking his teacher, the first thing I'd find out is which one. If it were one of those movie star quality ones, I would then find out her phone number. Then I would go have a heart to heart chat with her. Horizontally.

Aw, nuts!

The super bowl is now history. If you want to make some money next year, just find out what my picks are in the playoffs and the super bowl and bet the opposite. That's right, I didn't pick one single game right. If I were a gambler, I'd be dining on cat food now.

The North Koreans have finally admitted they have a nuke. If I were running the show, I'd nuke them completely away right now. If we don't they are going to cause us more grief than you can imagine. Just the thought of a maniac like Kim Il Sung running around with nukes makes my blood run cold. We should have mashed his ass when it would have been easy. This is where years of diplomacy get you. It is hard to understand why we continuously rely on diplomacy when we know that it doesn't work 90% of the time. Ross Perot had a great idea when he said that we should close all our embassies world wide and open trade consulates to promote American goods abroad. Oh, and fire all the diplomats. We should keep of couple of these dweebs on hand in case a special situation arises calling for weak kneed idiocy.

Well, the winter solstice has passed and we are well on our way to the vernal equinox. Spring will officially arrive on or about March 21. That is approximately the day that summer arrives in southern California. We seldom have spring. One week the average temperature will be 65. BOOO. The next week it will be 85 and climbing. YESSSSS!!!! Until then, we'll just have to suffer. I have a great deal of sympathy for those in the east who rapped on me about how much they enjoy cold weather and what a wooos I am to bitch about it. Are you guys happy now that you're covered in ice? HAHAHAHA

A really good friend of mine is preparing too retire from the U.S. government after 40 years of service. In our conversations he tries to convince me to remain active and in contact with my old agency. What he doesn't understand is that I had been forced to deal with those morons for over 20 years. I want total disengagement from them. I am still in touch with a couple of my coworkers. They are the only ones I give a rat's ass about. The rest of them can slide down the slippery slope and off over the edge. I'll shed not a tear. I only have so many ticks left on my ticker and I'll be damned if I'm going to waste it blowing hot air at a gang of incompetent louts. Am I bitter? Hell yes!!

It should be warm enough too go fishing next month. I hope so. My family in Washington State keep trying to lure me into going north, but that isn't likely to happen before the middle of August. Summer occurs in Washington from August 15 to August 18. The fishing is really good there. Lakes and streams a re everywhere and they all have water in them and the water all has fish. Unlike southern California where most of the rivers are little dried out pathways and the lakes fluxuate up and down like a yoyo from flooded to damn near dry. Really.

Did I mention my displeasure over Ward Churchill, the idiot professor for the University of Colorado who compared the September 11 vicitms to Adolph Eichman? He says that they brought it on themselves. Expanding on his theory, if he pissed somebody off enough to shoot his worthlees ass, he would have effectively committed suicide. After all, it would be his fault the he enraged the perp.

Now for the Delano weather report: It sucks.

SS

Now to discuss FDR's behemoth, Social Security. It needs to be modified. I am receiving SS disability right now, and I'm an old fart, so any changes that take place won't effect me unless I live to be 170. The president has put forth a proposal. I don't know if it is right or wrong, but I do know that the dumocraps have offered nothing at all except to say that the system isn't broke yet. I suppose that it is a much more comfy world with your head buried in the sand. Unfortunately, it does not help to solve the problem. The dems don't want to change anything about it because it is the bastard child of FDR. They worship him, almost as much as JFK. But even he said that eventually, it would have to be changed to accomodate at least some private ownership. President Bush has had the courage to take on this really tough problem. The stupid liberals believe that his proposal is to privatize the entire system. Nothing could be further from the truth. The changes he has proposed are voluntary. The liberals don't want to change because they see a little of the power they own slipping away. We will hear the same dumb-ass arguments when we try to modify the income tax, a truly totalitarian nightmare that has no place in a free society.

It was 65 degrees here today. That is still 10 degrees below my thermal cutoff point, but at least the sun was shining. Spring cannot be far away.

It looks like the Iraqis may have elected a mostly secular government. That is excellent, if true. I don't know if any of you have ever lived under a religious regime, but I have and I can tell you it intensely sucks. There is nothing wrong with having religious leaders. Having a church in charge is the worst. Read about the Spanish inquisition and you'll understand.

I guess no one is catching any fish, nation wide. I doubt if anyone is even fishing. Except Carl. I dream of the day when I can go duck hunting again. I'll need to have a good hunting buddy. I can't run down a dead duck, much less a live one. Maybe I'll buy a really good dog.

I hope the grandchildren can make it over here for spring break. My wife has a crying spell every time she thinks about them. Oh well.

Guess who

She didn't know what to do. She was stuck out in the sticks with no way out. Then by luck, she met a big time liar who had some money and a vision of leaving the hick town. So she latched on to him. He took her far away to the nation's capitol, where she was forced to ignore the many infidelities of her bum. She vowed she would become a force to be reckoned with. When Slick lost his job, she looked around for a nice cushy spot from which to build her power base. She knew that back home, she wouldn't stand a chance because they were already wise to her and Slick. She studied diligently and decided that Massachusetts, infamous for political morons, was the place to invade. But they already had an ample supply of neer-do-wells. She looked to the west, to California where people are dumber than rocks and found the job she wanted, but both positions were already filled with idiots.She studied the nation and decided that the only place that had an opening where the people were stupid enough to vote for her was New York. She knew she could get elected there because they had already elected a really stupid comrade in arms, we'll call CS. Can you guess who this is? One more hint, her and slick have left a trail of bodies and blood money in their wake for the last 50 years. Know who it is?

It is hard to believe the continuing stupidity displayed by Boxer, Pelosi and Kennedy. I didn't include the elf because he doesn't count for much. It is really pretty humoroous to watch this gang of nuts circle around each other and destroy themselves while they try their hardest to usurp President Bush. The problem here is that this country needs a 2 party system. If they don't mend their ways, the dumocraps will not be part of that system.

The days have been sunny. I can see that spring is about to burst forth. I can't wait until it gets warm. Right now, it is cold. It sucks.

Is anybody out there catching any fish? Is it too cold to go fishing where you are? It is here.

I finally broke down and bought Microsoft works suite. I was never really happy with that Lotus stuff. Works has "word" included in the package, so now some of my pals will actually be able to decode my attachments without performing circus-like manuevers.

Super Bowl in 3 days. Hohum.

WRONG!!!!!!!!

Is any body surprised that Kerry (the poodle) and Kennedy (the swimmer) are now ready to cut and run over the Iraqi election? I think this points to a basic character flaw in both of these political cowards. The worst possible thing we could do at this point is to bring our troops home before Iraq is stabilized. It is just one more way that shows the liberals are willing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. As time marches on, the far left is commiting political suicide. Kennedy has already shot his big mouth off and is becoming irrelevant. Same goes for Kerry and Clinton. A basket full of losers. The Iraqi election was a huge success. The liberals are pissed. They were counting on absolute failure. Without the pictures of Iraqis waiting in long lines and dancing in the streets, you can bet that the liberal media would have declared the election a flop. How have we let so many anti-americans gain so much power? I think it is time to take the power from them. No, I don't know how. Why don't you guys dream up some super duper plan?

Hillary (the liar) Clinton collapsed at a speech she was giving today. Unfortunately, she is expected to make a full recovery. The dumocraps can't really be serious about running her for president. Of course, they have picked lame horses before and paid the price.

My buddies down in Georgia got buried under and ice storm. It must have been terrible for them. The power went down and stayed down for some of them for a couple of days. I wonder if it killed the peach crop. Or the Vidalia onion crop. BOOOO

The days are now getting longer little by little. In another month and a half, it may be warm enough to go outside.

And now for the Delano weather report. It sucks.

Charging into super bowl weekend this year is like being in a large mudslide. You slip down the slope and at the bottom, more mud. What little interest I have in this affair is directed at the Eagles. I hope they win. We'll see.

gas bags fail again

Despite the best efforts of Barbara (the check bouncer) Boxer and Ted (dick 'em and dunk 'em) Kennedy, Rice has been sworn in as Secretary of State. Time will tell if she was worth the effort. One thing you can be sure of is that the gas bag duo will be back with even more idiotic proposals in the near future.

We are on the eve of the Iraqi elections. The hopes of most people in the U.S. is that they will succeed so we can bring our troops home. Unfortunately, there are a few far left morons who would love to see these elections fail.(see paragraph above) I suspect that these kinds of assholes cheer a little inside at every casualty report. What a low-life bunch of Marxist jerks.

I just read a book by Ann Coulter called "Treason". It describes in detail the lengths to which liberals will go to undermine our nation. Coulter is one of the few women who have something to say worth listening to. She is an admitted right winger. She has written several books about the failures of the liberal crowd in America. Some of her stuff is scary, but all of it is true.

We are also on the eve of the super bowl. Somehow, I just can't get excited about watching Philly play Boston. Maybe next year will bring back that old, good feeling.

Oh, I almost forgot the Delano weather report: It sucks.

Still there

One of the guys who did the Philippine tour wrote to tell me that the famous (or infamous) Fire Empire is still in operation after 35 years. For those unfortunate enough to have not been there, The Fire Empire was one of those joints in Angeles City where everything was for sale and the price was always negotiable. We had some really good times there. One guy accused me of being drunk or trying to get drunk for a whole year. That is simply not true. I was drunk or trying to get drunk for almost 20 years on four continents. Of course my memory is a little hazy. As I said, I have selective amnesia about the not so good parts and that's the way I want it.

I hope that you guys back east who chided me for whining about the weather are happy now that you are buried under 8 feet of snow and the temperature has plummeted down to -20. Let me just say, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I assume that this is the way you like it. Get out there and shovel that crap. Slither around on it. Ball it up and throw it. The ways to display winter idiocy are endless.

And now for the Delano weather report: It sucks.

Each day gets us closer to the time when we can go fishing, I can't wait. We'll try it first up by San Simeon beach. Several years ago my #1 grandson and I were invited to go fishing on Vandenburg AFB. We caught a whole bunch of surf perch. My grandson caught the largest one. It was great. Hopefully, I'll have similar tales to tell later in the year. Do I plan on boring you with stories of our exploits? Hell yes!

I can't believe that the Steelers also got their asses whipped by the Patriots. Our only hope now is the Eagles. I'm not a big Philly fan, but they're better than New England. As a consolation, I can be happy that the Cowboys lost, lost, lost. Wait til next year.

I'll what?

I am really tired of recieving e-mail that tells me I'll grow a tail if I don't forward it to everyone I know. In fact, I'm so tired of it, instead of filing it or sending it on, from now on, I'll just delete it. I know this won't stop it, but at least I won't saddle everyone I know with the possibility of being declared personna non grata in heaven.

Several people I have conversed with insist on sprinkling their conversation with the phrase, "you understand what I'm saying?" The answer is, if you are speaking english, even in some muttering, low dialectic muddle, I understand. It pisses me off to have people ask me that. Where did we ever get the idea that someone we're talking to wouldn't understand what we're saying? Ludicrous!!

One of the answers to my last blog said that I was living in the past and that all ther girls and all the bars I used to haunt are gone. That is the sad truth. However, I have chosen to live in the past for the most part. It was much more exciting than what passes for living now. My memories of 1968 are much more vivid than my memories of yesterday and a hell of a lot more pleasant. Am I foolish? Am I approaching senitlity? Well, yes!! So what?

And now for the Delano weather report: It sucks.

Only 2 1/2 months to summer. I swear this year, I'm going to the coast for some surf fishing. My grandchildren will be here when school is out. I plan to have already been by then.

Sadly, football season is almost gone. Only 2 more game weekends. Booooo. That means I won't have anything to do until Fishing starts except learn new tricks with my yoyo. Oh well.

Boo Hoo

Yes, I've been sulking for 2 days over the loss of the Colts to the wretched Patriots. What a debacle. I couldn't believe that the highest powered offense in NFL history could only score a paultry 3 points. Once again, if I were a betting man, I'd be living in a cardboard box by now.

One point of consolation is that the idiot who has been trying to keep the Bible out of the Presidential inauguration ceremony has lost his suit. Why doesn't someone have a real, hard heart to heart chat with that asshole? He is slowly but surely becoming the most hated man in the United States. I wonder how long this atheist moron will last?

Well, the weather honeymoon is over for the east. A buddy of mine in Maryland says it was a balmy 15 degrees today. HAHAHAHAHA. It was cool here today. About 60 degrees. It actually snowed in the L.A. mountains to the south of us. Anytime it snows between me and the equator, I am too far north. I keep thinking about Guam. I could stand an occassional typhoon if I didn't have to endure the cold.

So they have given up on the search for WMDs in Iraq. Ho Hum. All that means is that the Iraqis managed to get them over the border into Syria before they got their nuts knocked off. Anybody who thinks we would be better off with Sadam still at the controls is in urgent need of mental assistance. This war does another good thing in serving notice to the other miserable little weasel governments that the free ride is over. At least until another liberal becomes President. Then, it'll be right back to taking all their BS once again. I have long thought that it would be good policy to bitch-slap those would tweak our nose and cut off those who take our aid money and then spit on us. This is a tough world and it's time to get tough or die.

As I cruised majestically around the web, I found some really great property in the Philippines for very little money. Since the northern part of the Philippines is only 15 degrees north, it never gets cold there. I think that retirement living should be spent between the tropic of cancer and the tropic of capricorn. As long as you avoid the middle east, you'll be all right.

My grand daughter's second birthday comes up on the thirtieth of January. My oldest grandson is in high school. How the hell did all this happen so fast? It seems like only yesterday I was prowling the streets of Angeles City. In some ways, I still feel like I'm 25 with lots of pep and vigor. A brief look in the mirror reveals the sad truth. I'm having a hard time adjusting to the fact that its never coming back. Oh well

The people's court?

Well, the courts have done it again.. They have said that the federal sentencing guidelines for federal judges are NOT mandatory. That means that our left wing, limp dick federal judges can go back to handing out very light or NO sentences to federal criminals. The judges were originally handed this legislation when they were famous (or infamous) for lightly sentencing violent criminals in the vain hope that they could be "rehabilitated." Since congress enacted the federal guidelines, violent federal crime is down 54%. You can look for a large increase in federal crime in the near future if congress doesn't once again slap the judiciary down. Write to your congressman or senator or both. Let them know that we need tough penalties for these madmen and we have no confidence in our judges to impose them.

I can't believe it!! The left wing crazies are blaming George Bush for the tsunami. Remember last fall when they blamed him for the hurricanes? Remember the marine who went nuts and killed one cop and wounded another before being shot to death himself? That's right, the liberal idiots are blaming that on the President, too. One good thing that has happened on the federal scene is that, despite the best efforts of Barbara (the check bouncer) Boxer, senator from the communist state of California, George W. Bush was confirmed as having won the election and will be sworn in. What is the matter with these nuts? HEY NUTS....GET OVER IT!!!!! It won't be too long before the marxist morons are blaming the California mudslides on Bush. Look for it on a newscast coming soon.

Speaking of mudslides and such, the California coast has been hit hard by heavy rains. They have evacuated about 850 families that live downstream from one of the dams because they are afraid the dam will break and kill everyone. It could happen. The saddest part of these mudslides is that the fools whose homes have been destroyed, whose families have been killed or injured will spend the next year or so building right back where they were wiped out. Some people have asked, "how stupid can they get?" The answer is, we don't know 'cause we can't test them to full capacity.

Oh yeah, the Delano weather report: It sucks.

Soon, the worst time of the year will be upon us. Football season will be over. What will we do? Where will we go? They should start another football league that starts right now and winds up at the start of the NFL season. Sure, it would make some housewives mad, but so what? They don't buy the beer that fuels the ads that make the football machine run. I assume that all of you know that the proof that God loves us and wants us to happy is BEER.

No fishing report. Most of the nation, including the guys who live way, way inland could fish off their back porches if they weren't busy trying to save their butts. We hope this summer will be a lot better. Remember, it is your job to hunt down a global warming advocate and punch him/her in the nose.

Happy hunting!!!

ewwww

Rain continues here in the valley of tears. It is intermitantly windy (up to 40mph). Slowly, the icy cold winter is creeping in. Most of the rest of the country is in worse shape than we are. Lots of that wretched white crap, blizzards,eww, icky!

If I had megabucks, I could solve the problem with hackers and spammers. I could hire my own army of hackers to track these sleaze-bags down. Once they were located, my army of goons would move in and take physical retribution. World-wide. I'll bet it wouldn't take more than 5 or 6 broken arms and legs until the "fun" of hacking was lost in a haze of fear. The courts could make it harder on the hackers they manage to catch by exacting harsh penalties upon them. For hackers, 1 year in jail for every $100k in damages they cause should make them more responsible citizens. I don't think there is anything legal that can be done to spammers. However, it may be possible to exact some retribution upon them privately. My army of hackers could destroy their bank accounts. Cancel their credit cards. Make them understand that spam is not appreciated.

The Colts won...yeeaaah. The Packers lost....booooo. Peyton Manning is, indeed, superman. This may be the year that the Patriots get their butts handed to them. I hope so.

Well, you guys get out there and whip a global-warming nut.

Again?

Yes, once again, the Clintons find themselves with their tits in a crack. It seems that Hillary (you remember "I don't remember") Hillary finds that once again she must display political amnesia. It seems that her 2000 senate campaign fund raising was as crooked as her dealings in Arkansas. How will she escape? Well, if there is any justice in this world, she won't, but knowing the Clintons' skill at dancing the Washington dance, she probably won't get any on her, even though there is an eye witness to the whole lurid affair. If I were that witness, I would immediately hire an army of bodyguards because people who testify or are going to testify against the Clintons have a habit of going tits up. The only good thing to come out of this is that it has a good chance of destroying her chance ot run for president. Can you imagine that herd of felons back in the White House? Already the liberals are trying to apply gauze to the wound. Already, the conservatives are trying to apply salt. I personally hope salt wins.

14 inches of snow in Sequim, Washington, an area known for its mild weather. The weather forecasts say it that the temperature will drop down to 27 in Bakersfield by Wednesday. You owe it to God and country to smack a "global warming" advocate up side the head.

The death toll in the Indonesian tsunami continues to climb. I suspect that we have only experienced about half of the fatalities that will eventually be accounted to this disaster. It is hard to grasp the scope of this event. Military people who have been to wars say that this is the worst devastation they have ever seen.

My Seahawks lost to the wretched Rams. My Chargers lost to the lowly Jets. I hope that the rest of the playoffs go better for my favorite teams.

Very little going on in the way of fishing. We're still waiting for spring so we can go get 'em. It is, at least, time to purchase new licenses. Of course, the communist state of California applies maximum pressure to your wallet every year for the priviledge of fishing the mostly barren waters of this miserable state. Oh well.

Sad, sad

It is a very sad day for our family. Last night at about 8 PM, my uncle, Adrian Minor died after a protracted illness. Ade was one of those guys that everybody liked. He was friendly and funny and always had a good word. Just a few years ago, he was a major presence in the construction industry in Washington State. He is survived by his two remaining sisters his wife, Dolores, and a flock of nieces and nephews. His demise leaves a giant hole in our family. He will be sorely missed.

El Crapo!!!

Rats!! My Sooners got their asses kicked hard by USC. It was like Oklahoma forget to show up. That's two years in a row that the Okies have been blown out in the title game. gaaaaahhhhh

As many of you know from my e-mails, the criminal George Soros (pardoned by Slick Willy) is attempting to overthrow the second amendment to the U.S. Constitution. He is trying to do it through the United Nations (another gang of crooks) by introducing a gun ban bill that would make it illegal for private citizens anywhere on earth to own a gun. Regardless of your stance on gun control, we, as a country, cannot allow foreign idiots to dictate our internal laws. We have enough anti-gun morons in this country. We don't need to import any.

Speaking of the United Nations, isn't it about time for us to withdraw? We take all the B.S. and pay most of the bills. This organization has proven, time after time, that they are at best incompetent and at worst criminal. The thing is loaded with spies and espionage agents. They are an expense we can no longer afford. I don't care if Kofi Anon is chief or not as long as we are not in it and it is not on our shores.

Finally, my weather report. It sucks.

Gone!

Well, here I sit at 11 minutes past 2004 wondering what this next year will bring. I have found that it is impossible to predict future events, Nostrodamus notwithstanding. All you can really do is hope that something good will happen and pray that nothing bad will happen. All I can do is hope that I hit the 48 million dollar lottery and pray that I'll live long enough to waste most of it.

As I sit here, I can hear lots of gunfire as the locals celebrate the new year. My first thought was, "what stupidity!" But then I thought back over some of my own past new years and I realize that a little gunfire is fairly mild when compared to some of the utter idiocy I have perpetrated from time to time. For instance, firing a gun in the air cannot compare to the lunacy of attempting to chug a fifth of bourbon. (failed, passed out) Nor does it compare to going into a Mexican bar and challenging the occupants to a brawl. (didn't win) Or the time several of my mentally challenged friends and I decided to swim frrom the Philippines to Thailand. (impossible feat. lucky we didn't drown) So let 'em shoot. It doesn't bother me.

I can't believe that the weather here is better than in most of the country. That doesn't mean it's good. It means that we are slightly less miserable than we would be somewhere else.

If any of you are running AOL IM, my screen name is:

Does that sound egotistical? I hope so. bye

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!

Bug out!!

There I sat enjoying my breakfast (a glass of tomato juice) when I detected some movement on the wall. I got up to inspect it and found that thousands of tiny vermin had invaded my home. ANTS!!! We have some definite ant problems in this valley. As soon as the good weather goes away, we are besieged by ants. Once they are in the house, it is impossible to evict them. We must wait for summer. Thank God winter is only 2 or 3 months long. I think next summer I will expend some serious money and time to see if I can bump all the little bastards off before the chill of winter sets in again.

Winter in the San Joaquin valley sucks!! We have lots of rain, fog and low, low temperatures. Even in the daytime our temperature often doesn't exceed 60 degrees. It is too cold to swim. Too cold to exercise outdoors. Too cold for anything useful. Luckily, I am an excellent couch potato, so I can hide inside all winter if need be.

98%. That is the number of people in a recent O'Reilly poll who think the young marine who shot the terrorist while being taped should be left alone. No court marshal. Maybe they should decorate him for doing exactly the right thing at exactly the right time. A couple of days later, one of his fellow marines was killed in a situation just like the one that got him into trouble. Don't those moralist jerks know what war means? One thing it means is bumping off anyone who might be a threat to you or your comrades. Only two days before this incident, this marine was shot in the face by a terrorist. It's a wonder he didn't kill everybody in that miserable town. I would have. The military claims that they are all for embedded journalists. I think it is a big mistake to have a group of morons with cameras galloping about the battlefield.

I couldn't believe that my Raiders knocked off the Broncos. I bet the Broncos can't believe it either. The University of Washington is looking for a new coach. Back in the good old days when Don James was the coach, UW was a rough, tough group who could play with anyone. This new guy, like the idiot at Nebraska, has installed a "finesse" offense. It does not work! Once again, for clarity, it does not work!! Both of these coaches will be down the road kickin' cans next year. Maybe they could cross-train into ballet teachers.

Only 3 1/2 weeks to Christmas. Bend over.

Abroad II

As I was saying before I was so rudely interupted. Why are these broads appearing as announcers at football games? They have invaded the ranks of both college and pro. There is room for them in the world of sports reporting. It is called "women's sports." Don't they understand that one of the main reasons men watch sports if to get away from them, if only for a little while. I understand that the feminazis and the ACLU have, with the permission of the liberal courts, conspired to weasel their way into this moment of quiet. They are even forced to allow women into the dressing rooms. I know that some will say I am a misogynist, but that is simply not true. I just want a little relief. Maybe I'm a chauvinist. I don't watch women's sports. They are generally slow and powerless. The one sport wherein women out perform men by a wide margin is "talking."

The wretched Irish have lost again. This time, it was to USC. Life is good. The USC quarterback threw for 400 yards and 5 touchdowns. hahahahaha. Not that I dislike Notre Dame, but I dislike Notre Dame.

Yesterday it rained like a cow pissing on a flat rock. Today it is cool, but sunny. Winter sucks. They should ship everybody who thinks winter is fun to Canada. That way, they could be cold all the time and, as a bonus, they could quit thinking.

Abroad!!

Why, oh why?

I wish I could watch the news without having to endure another analysis of why the democrats lost. It should be obvious to the most casual observer that kerry lost because of kerry. He was identified early on as a big time anti military spender with lousy ideas. He was shown to continuously waffle on all issues. He thinks he lost because of the Ben Laden tape, or the boat people movie, or pregnant chads....etc, etc. etc.. Nobody lost it for him. He lost it himself. Unlike the career explosion of dean, he slowly burned himself to the ground. So stop it already. We've heard enough from the losers.

At last, we get to witness the departure of Dan Blather. Most conservatives have awaited this moment for years. He has performed several stupid spectacles in his career, but this latest one finally got him. So long, chump.

You will notice that the entire continent is colder than a whores heart. It's too bad we stopped losing the ozone layer. We need warmth. I believe that what is happening is global cooling. The environmental nuts are wrong. If we have global warming, why isn't it warm? The "experts" have been babbling on and on for a couple of decades about the myth of global warming. Hey there, experts....Shut up.

I bet the prison officials where Martha Stewart is incarcerated are really unhappy. That is because when K-Mart and Sears merged, Martha made thirty million dollars over night. The idiots that put her in prison won't see thirty million in their lifetimes. I wonder if they are resting easier now that this dangerous criminal is behind bars. I know I sure am.

Only five weeks until Christmas. ugh.

Well, the fools at PETA are asking us all to have a vegetarian Thanksgiving and forgo the turkeys. What is the matter with those bufoons? They want us to stop hunting, fishing, eating any kind of meat. I think they are even against eggs. What's going to happen when those morons discover that flowers display some measure of displeasure when they are cut? No more flowers? No more vegetables? That only leaves water and air. If they want to survive on only air and water, I say let's encourage them to try it. A good fool is a dead fool.

I can hardly wait for springtime. I have a burning desire to go fishing again. I know I'll get to go when I visit Spokane again. My brother has a boat. I want to try surf perch fishing again. We caught a bunch of them the last time I went, but that was several years ago. Yup, next spring I will leap into action and give it a try.

Dan who?

Let's see....there is a war in Iraq, we are hunting the #1 terrorist in the world in Afghanistan, the southeastern U.S. is flooded and expecting tornados, and Greenspan has crashed the stock market. What are the talking heads on network news babbling non-stop about? Why it's the firing of Dan Blather, one of the more useless individuals on televison. To make matters worse, we'll be hearing about this bufoon all day, every day until his exit in March. Then there will be the "specials" and documentaries. This is a graphic demonstration of what the tv newsies think of the American people. I wonder why they believe that news people are worth more than real people.

So the main criminal in the basketball fiasco got suspended for a year. Now the lawsuits will fly as the lawyers extract maximum cash from all parties and the courts will get their pound of flesh too. Several messages left on this blog have asked why I didn't blame the parents also. Well, I forgot. But they were right! I should have placed a lot of the blame for this on the soccer moms and baseball dads. They are the ones who have initial responsibility for the behaviour of their children. Then there is our super liberal court system. If one of these maniacs is brought before the bar of justice, chances are pretty good that they'll get a light tap on the wrist and be turned loose again to practice their evil. If you gave every player in the NBA and the NFL the same kind of legal treatment that everybody else gets, there would be a major drop in sports related crime. We desperately need to stop coddling these morons from day one. It starts at home and continues through their mostly useless lives.

My fishing buddy back in North Carolina reports that the fishing there is improving. If I can make a trip back there next summer, I'll have to check it out.

Sports??

The disgusting displays of violence on the basketball court and the gridiron confirm what I've said all along. "Pro" athletes are a bunch of pampered, low IG'd goons who would be in prison if they weren't coddled their whole lives by teams, coaches and their mommies. How in the hell can you justify taking millions of dollars to PLAY a GAME and then react like a bunch of neanderthals? Of course, I've got a fix for it. Every sport at every level needs to levy some heavy penalties for this kind of behaviour. In professional sports, fighting should result in immediate and indefinite suspension and a heavy fine. Since they're "pros" 50 grand doesn't sound too steep. At the college level, a ten game suspension should solve the problem. Athletes don't understand much, but they do understand money. At the high school level, immediate and unconditional release from the team should do it. May as well nip it in the bud. This goes for all sports including hockey. Boxing is the sole exception. It might help if the "players" were assured that they'd get to spend their off time in jail for assault. Too harsh? Tough!

Several of you requested access to the comment portion of the blog. I have now provided it, but have seen little result. Don't you guys have anything to say about all this nonsense? If I get no comments, I will have to conclude that I am 100% right all the time!! That means I'll get even more egotistical and will bloviate at length. Oh well.

PESD

It seems the liberals are suffering from Post Election Stress Disorder. One idiot in Washington D.C. even commited suicide because of it. More liberals should follow his lead. We are extremely fortunate that the liberals do not control either house of congress. If they did, they would doubtless generate some huge government agency, at great expense, to deal with it. The mental health doctors are recommending lots of mental assistance. I agree. Most liberals need lots and lots of mental help. Of course if they were completely cured, they'd be conservatives and would no longer be the victims of PESD.

kerry is now blaming Osama Ben Laden for his recent total defeat. He's probable got PESD too.

My Okies won again. Every week they look a little stronger. If they get to play in the national champoinship game, they'll definitely kick ass. There is no way the can miss. They've got the best quarterback and the best running back in the country..

Alan Greeenspan, the most powerful person on earth, has thrown a great big kink into the stock market again. Every time he has a meeting, I hold my breath to see if the Alan giveth or the Alan taketh away.

Are you counting the days until spring? I am. When I was a kid and a lot dumber than I am now, I thought all that cold weather stuff was great. We used to play in the snow. We used to hunt in the snow. We even used to fish in really bad weather. Time and experience has shown the follie of these nonsensical manuevers. I hope those environmental nitwits are right. We could definitely use some global warming. There isn't anything we can do about it anyway. According to geologists, thes warming and cooling periods are a natural phenomenon. Oh well

Condoleeza and ?

It looks like President Bush has named Condoleeza Rice as his next secretary of state. I think it is an excellent choice. She is currently his national security advisor and is used to dealing with the bums overseas.

Speaking of bums, the latest inane babblings of Chirac are now dribbling through TV land. What a bufoon. I suspect that the investigation into the U.N. food for oil debacle will reveal that good ole Chirac has pocketed a few euros from this scam.

Speaking of the U.N., isn't it time to kick those a--holes out of our country? We get damned little cooperation from them. We fund them heavily. They are a hotbed of spies with immunity. The secretary general is corrupt.Most of the security council is corrupt. I think a great place to relocate them would be Paris. France deserves it. North Korea wouldn't be a bad idea, either.

Speaking of North Korea, why are we taking any horse shit from this gang of murdering criminals? The time is fast approaching when we will have to deal with them on a bomb to commie basis. There is no time like the present. Same goes for Iran. There is no use in talking to these kinds of rogues. The only thing they understand is raw power. We should show them some. These two countries are prime examples of what can happen to you if you allow a single group of politicians to dominate your country.

Speaking of domination, have you noticed that the secularists, lead by the ACLU, are starting to try to dominate the will of the American people? The time has come to erradicate this infection of our society. If they want to live somewhere where there is total separation of church and state, again, North Korea would be a great place to relocate them. I'm no Bible thumper, but I do believe in God, just as our founding fathers did. This country was founded on Christian principles and if unrestricted it, too, could run amok, our Christian principles are what make this country great.

Speaking of this great country, remember that it is OUR great country. Immigrants should be required to learn our language and blend into our culture. There is no reason for us to have to adapt to them. If I wanted to speak Spanish, I'd go to Spain! Aliens, especially illegal aliens, have no right to push around the majority population of our country. Don't you think it is time to reverse the courts and take our country back? Not to do so would mean the end of us as a nation.

Speaking of the end, this is it.

Misc. B.S.

The fight for Faluja is almost over. Of course, the chief bad guys got away. I have a solution to this problem of the main idiots escaping. Here it is: When we know which village these a__holes are in, we hit the town with a low-yield nuke. Before we implement this policy, we let it be known what's going to happen to your little village if we suspect that the big jerks are there. That way, the locals would no longer be willing to hide them for fear that they would suddenly disappear in a nuclear cloud. It would serve notice to terrorists world-wide that we are crazy enough to blow their whole damn country apart if it means getting one of the main perps. Does that make me a hawk? I hope so.

As time marches on, I began to suspect that my IQ was dropping. So I took a couple of those tests on the internet, and sure enough, I'm off about 20 points. That means that in 20 years, I'll be just as dumb as everybody else. Does that sound egotistical? I hope so.

Most of my favorite pro football teams got their butts kicked this weekend. I'm glad that I'm not a betting man. I'd be living in a cardboard box and eating cat food.

Thanksgiving is getting closer. It is the perfect holiday for us fat guys. We can just eat everything in sight and nobody cares. The rest of the year, we get lectured on the virtues of celery and carrot sticks. eeewwwww.

Of course if Thanksgiving is approaching, so is Christmas. I find it hard to believe that upon the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ, a fat guy in a red suit appeared and, after sneaking around a fir tree in his eight rendeer powered sled, started distributing presents to every body in sight. Where did we get such a notion? How many holly trees are in the middle east? Ans: zero. Well, tis the season to be jolly, so I guess I'll suck it up again. HOHOHO. No, that is a laugh, not a reference to your girlfriend. does that make me a grinch? Oh well.

I am sure we are all saddened to witness the departure of Colin Powell from the State Dept.. He is a truly great and honorable man. Maybe he'll run for President. If he does, he's got my vote.
It is rare that we get some one with his integrity, honesty and experience in a high position.

Whining? Who, me?

I recently got this blog set up so that my loyal readers could make comments on it. Wouldn't you know that the very first comment was whining about my whining. He wants more sports. So do I. However, there are damn few sports to participate in here in the San Joaquin valley. There isn't much water for fishing and what there is is hard to get to. I'll try surf fishing next spring, but as for now, nope. The waters I fish have to be really accessible because I can't get to them due to physical limitations. I even had to sell my boat because I couldn't get to it. Besides, my header promises whining and it's mostly whining you'll get until next spring. If I go hunting, it'll have to be in a different state. Hunting in California resembles a trip to Iraq. Everybody's shooting at everything. Scared the hell out of me and that ain't easy. So much for the opening sob-story.

Well, they found Scott Peterson guilty which is bad news for TV viewers since it means we'll have to go through the whole sentencing, appeals, analysis and other court related nonsense. I guess our only hope for relief from all this insane yammer is if someone bumps him off in jail.

My Okie football team is winning and winning. They are stronger this year than last year. I'd like to see them knock off USC in the championship game. They may not get there, though, because Auburn looks awfully tough and may wind up at the top of the heap. Wisconsin got rubbed out, so they are no longer unbeaten. Then there is Boise State. and Utah. I wonder how they would do against some PAC Ten or Big Eight schools. Notre Dame took gas again. hahahaha

Cheney hit the hospital today and the media immediately concluded that he had a heart attack. Turned out to be not much. We're lucky the stock market wasn'y open. That bunch of flimsy dweebs on Wall Street would have panicked for sure.

Yaser Arafat, chief middle east obstructionist and all round idiot finally croaked. Maybe Castro will follow suit. We can only hope. The middle east is beyond doubt the most screwed up area in the world. I think the only way to bring peace there is to nuke them into non-existence and then rope the place off for a few thousand years. Does that make me a warmonger or am I just being practical?

test shot

This is more or less a test shot to find out if you lucky readers can post commentary about my calm, serene meanderings. Try to control yourselves, remember, I know where you live.

Calamansi season is upon us along with persimmon time. Norma went out yesterday and picked two six gallon buckets of calamansi. She's been squeezing juice out of them ever since. It'll take her days and days to finish them. HAHAHAHAHA. No calamansi squeezer I. Too much work. For those of you who are unenlightened, calamansi is the Filippino version of the lemon. It has lots of seeds and is only the size of the end of your thumb. It makes a really good juice for lemonade or in mixed drinks, but it is a pain in the butt to squeeze. It is far more sour than a lemon, so if you are going to try them, exercise caution.

My grandson finally got the printer we sent him for his birthday (it was on the 7th). It's hard to believe that it takes that long to ship stuff. What do they use that shipping money for??? Beers for the boys, no doubt.

The mainstream media is once again out of step with reality. They whine about Gitmo. They whine about Iraq. The thing that pisses me off is that the pansies doing the loudest whining have never been there and ain't about to go. It should be obvious to the most casual observer that if you want a war story, you go to the war. You do not sit passing gas through your waffle-bottom chair and query Europe about our progress. If those morons knew anything, we'd still be an English colony surrounded by the Spanish and the flimsy French. Speaking of Europeans, why should we listen to anything that limp-wristed bunch pussies has to say? About every forty or fifty years, we wind up saving their sorry butts from some horror they've let themselves in for. Then we have to rebuild their industry and infrastructure, just so they can cut our throats in the marketplace. Next time they get their tits in a crack, we ought to let them sink like a brick.


Time to go. Can't wait to see if this comments deal works.

Scott, what?

Scott Peterson!! Scott Peterson!! I am sick of hearing about Scott Peterson. Let's fry him or turn him loose, but get his ass off my TV. You realize, of course, that if a mistrial is declared, we can look forward to another 2 years of this horse shit. I don't care if he's innocent or guilty. I just want him to go away!! He is no longer real news. He's just a pain in the ass.

The weather here continues to suck. Fog settled in this morning. It rained on us again. It is cold. YUK!!!

I wonder what those smart-ass terrorists are thinking now that their bubble is bursting. I'll bet that most of those chicken hearted cowards disguise themselves as real people and try to slither away. Every one of them that we catch should be summarily shot. After all, shouldn't trials and other civilized amenities be reserved for people and not animals posing as people? As the Marines say, "kill 'em all. Let God sort 'em out".

I am counting on winning the lottery tomorrow, so I have been searching the web for houses in the 2 to 5 million dollar range. There are some really, really nice ones for sale at those prices. Right now, I can't afford the taxes on any of them, but when that big win comes through, Fat City!!

Citrus season is almost here in Southern California. That means we'll be getting fresh oranges and grapefruits. It's a good thing, too, because we're about burned out with grapes. I hope this miserable weather doesn't freeze the crops. Then I'd have to buy citrus. Rats!

60 degrees. That's all it is going to make this week. 60 degrees. I might as well be in Anchorage. At least you can fish up there while you freeze your ass off. I hope all those daffy duck weather men are happy. They bitch all summer about heat and then proclaim fall as "perfect weather." If those dopes think this is perfect weather, why don't they move to North Dakota? Why are they in Bakersfield? Throw them bums out!!

Thank God, the election is over. The good guys won. Now, if only the "news" programs would let it go, we'd be in great shape. But no!!! We'll have to listen to those left wing hypocrites babble on and on about "what happened?", "will hillary run in 2008?" on and on incessantly. SHUT THE F--- UP!! We're burned out.

I swear, this is my last political commentary for four years.

I have decided that duck hunting is the perfect fall sport for me. All you have to do is bring some suck...uh.. hunting companion along to set the decoys. Let the dog do all the work. All I'll have to do is blast those little duckies out of the sky.

Sometimes I wish I was in good enough shape to go back overseas again, but then I think I'm just too lazy to work anymore. I would like to make some extra bucks. I'm too dumb to learn any new stuff. I'm too chicken to knock over liquor stores. Beside, I can't drive fast enough these days to outrun the fuzz. Oh well.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! and gloat, gloat, gloat. Does that sound like I'm a poor winner? I am. So what? The key word is winner. Like the SEALS say, second finisher is first loser. At least we won't have to listen to any more lies from that east coast gas bag. He can take his whole herd of traveling bufoons and his troll, teresa, back to his digs and contemplate his defeat.

I wonder why the entire west coast votes for those wretched dumocraps? I've got the answers. The people of Oregon do it because they've always been about half communist. The people of Washington do it because there are too many Californians up there. The people of California do it because they are stupid. You will notice that rest of the entire western part of the U.S. went with President Bush. Not these idiots.

On a lighter note, we bid farwell to the obstructionist, Tom Daschle. Maybe now the Senate can do some actual work. The Republicans increased their majority in both the Senate and the House. So the entire kerry komedy show was a complete bust. HAHAHAHA.

Winter has arrived here in earnest. The temperature has plummeted into the sixties. Only four months to go to spring. I would really like to make a trip to Washington when summer arrives up there. That would be July 15 to August 30......maybe.

My oldest grandson is now 15. It is hard to believe that we have all grown so old, so fast. The pity of the whole situation is that all of us think we're still twenty, even though we know deep in or dark little hearts that father time is tracking us down. Why isn't there a mother time? Is it because women are age-sensitive?

We have now entered holiday season. An unending string of parties and presents. The retailers dream. The husbands nightmare. Women love it because it is a legitimate excuse to whip out those credit cards and charge. Non-stop shopping until February. Gift returns. Complaints. Men hate it because it is akin to tip-toeing through a mine field. One little mis-step and booom...daddy parts all over the tree!! It is also expensive. We get to blow our fishing vacation bucks on candy and presents. Oh well.

Only two more days and we can forget kerry. He'll slink back to his hole under the rock and we won't have to listen to any more lies....from him. Probably the army of lawyers waiting to pounce on the election results will babble on for days. This situation can be laid at the doorstep of algore. You remember him. He's the guy who thinks he's really the president. He's the guy that kept demanding recount after recount until the whole country was sick of it. I hope that Bush landslides this one. That is the only way the vast herd of shysters will shut up and go home.

The sun has returned to California. It's still pretty chilly. We don't expect the temperture to go much over 70 this week. Yuk! That's right at my thermal cut-off point. I'm so happy that we don't have to deal with that wretched white crap. One of my goals in life is to never again allow one of those foul white things to drop out of a cloud and land on me.

The win streak of the Patriots is over. Pittsburg knocked them off. It's about time. 21 games in a row is enough for any football squad to win.

It is Halloween evening and the clutches of small children are roving the neighborhood. Their parents truck them in here from all over the city. It gets worse every year. Too bad there isn't some way to limit the area of travel on this night. I guess that sounds a little eastern European though, doesn't it? Sorry.

Well, all you Americans pray for a Republican sweep across this country. Of course, if you are anti-American, you can pray for something else like kerry and the krumbums or maybe a four year ride through hell.

Have you seen the "documentaries" on Area 51 yet? How have the so-called "investigators" managed to stay out of prison for treason? If things were really as awful as they claim, they would have been swept up years ago and chucked into Leavenworth prison. It intensely pisses me off to see these morons running around top secret securitiy areas with listening devices and high powered cameras. The satelite company that took the pictures of this area should be shut down and its executives tossed into the slammer. Where did these guys get the idea that they have "the right to know" about everything the government does? Well, they dreamed it all up. They circulate lies in order to break base security. They subvert employees and ex-employees making them break their oaths of silence. Why? And why aren't these employees in jail? I am convinced that the government is carrying on top secret operations out there in the desert and that neither the public nor our enemies has any "right to know" about them.

The latest lie from the kerry komedy kamp is falling apart at the seams. With only 4 days to go, I wonder what other big lies are lurking in weeds. After having studied the kerry history, I am convinced that he should be in a federal pen for numerous offences against our country. How the hell anyone could vote for this bag of dog drippins' is beyond me. I know there are zealots on both sides who have gone nuts over this election, but I had no idea that the kerry kamp would lie so consistently for so long.

On the brighter side, we haven't heard much from heinz-kerry since her last major screw-up. I can't imagine that arrogant bag of wind in the White House. The very thought of it makes my skin crawl.

We have now entered the worst part of the year, "waiting for spring". The usually hard packed ground is now a mud pit. Although the sun has come back in spurts, it is not warm. It rains at odd intervals. Yuk!!

I am now preparing for a fishing trip to the coast to seek the mighty surf perch. The trip will start next March or April, depending on the length of the winter. Surf perch are fun, easy to catch when they're in, and great eating. They average 2 pounds or so and put up a good fight.

I would like to get to Las Vegas for my eldest grandson's birthday. He's in high school now. It seems only yesterday that I was in high school. I think as you get older, time seems to accelerate. Oh well.

And now, the low-life, miserable kerry komedy krew will attempt to blame the disappearance of 380 tons of explosives on President Bush. Isn't this part of the stuff they've been moaning about that didn't exist? You know, WMDs. Hasn't any of those blockheads figured out that you need high explosives to generate a fission explosion? If this election weren't so serious, kerry's entire act would be absolutely hysterical. However, I believe that the fate of the western world depends on the outcome of this election. If kerry wins, we're screwed because he wants to talk to these idiots. They don't want to talk. They want to kill us. kerry doesn't understand that. He thinks all he has to do is sit down and have a cup of coffee with them and then everything will be all right. We desperatley need for President Bush to be re-elected. The fate of the world is in his hands. We don't need some weak-kneed flip-flopper who is completely antimilitary in the White House.

I wonder how many more lies these bastards will dream up between now and the election. They've already covered hurricanes, global warming, national guard service, Iraqi terrorists, the draft, the list is endless. The media, of course, jump on everything before they investigate it (remember dan blather?) because most of them don't want President Bush re-elected. The terrorists don't want him re-elected. France doesn't want him re-elected. In fact there is an international conspiracy that is trying to influence the American election toward kerry and away from President Bush. I cannot believe that the American people will let a lying, two-faced, cowardly gigalo win this election.

Now for some personal whining. It rained on me!! That is supposed to be illegal in Southern California. The wind blew hard and filled my pool with all sorts of icky stuff. It'll take the pool boy hours to fix it. It's cold. My furnace runs all the time. At least in Washington there is good fishing to compensate for the crummy weather. Here, in this crapola valley, there is no compensation.

All my favorite pro football teams lost last weekend. It's lucky I'm not a betting man. If I were, I'd be living in a refrigerator carton on some Bakersfield street. Are there more and more pro athletes in big trouble with the law these days, or am I just noticing it more? I can't remember a year when more of those overpaid cry babies had their tits in a wringer.

Oh well.
