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
