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!
