Ahoy Maties!

Well, the Unholy Reverend Jeremiah Wright was on PBS (Perfect Bullshit Station) last night, spewing even more venom. I hope this knob continues to put his face out there, and ruin whatever chances Obama has.
On a brighter note, I finally finished my boat, only 4 weeks BEHIND schedule.
Fishies, here I come.

p.s. Sorry it's been so long between posts. I have been busy with the aforementioned boat project.

FREE TIBET!

In light of all that has happened in Tibet in recent weeks, i.e., Tibetan monks and citizens rioting in protest against Chinese suppression, I think it is high time for the U.N. to actually do something useful, like a call for talks with Red China to grant autonomy for Tibet.

His Holiness, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, has repeatedly said he does not wish Tibetan independence (probably because he knows China would NEVER allow that), but merely " a meaningful autonomy" for Tibet.

And to all the morons out there who have decried the violent riots by the monks, I think 50 plus years of non-violent obedience to autocratic Chinese rule gives you a pass when you flip out for a week or two, don't you?

<<<Right back at ya, Your Holiness!

Sweaty Teddy got it right.....

It seems we had it wrong all along. Don't look to politicians or lawyers to get policy right. Instead take one part "gun nut", one part ear blistering guitar, one part hunter/warrior, mix well and you get the "Motor City Madman."
Here's what Ted Nugent wrote in the Waco Tribune-Herald, June 10th, 2008:

Immigration Solution? Just use common sense

"It would start with fingerprints and an IIC.. That's an immigrant identification card.
.
The I.D. would be for foreigners who seek to live in, work in or become citizens of the United States. That's if I were writing the immigration laws. It would include the reciting and signing of the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America and denouncing any and all allegiances to other countries.

Employers would have to ensure that persons they hire for any level of pay have a valid IIC.
.
An employer who hired a person without a valid IIC would be fined $100,000 per non-documented worker and would face two years in jail for each undocumented worker he or she employed.
.
Developing, manufacturing, procuring or otherwise possessing invalid or fake IICs would be a felony with a fine of $100,000 for each false IIC and two years in prison for each fraudulent IIC.

Between that and proper border enforcement, we can fix the problem through attrition. No big roundups--I would add a promise of free one-way transport out of the country to any destination persons choosing to exit wish to get to. The problem didn't just appear overnight, and the solution won't fix it that quick, either. That avoids a massive shock to large numbers of people.
.
These solutions are really no-brainers when you get right down to it. It is puzzling why so many politicians don't see it in the same way. The only conclusion on can draw from this is that they don't want to actually fix the problem at all."

Amen Ted, amen. Now, let's go kill something, shall we?

Smoke 'Em if You Got 'Em...

One of the things I might do with this blog is to document the process of quitting smoking as well as to give me something to do as I attempt to quit.

I have a prescription of a new drug, Chantrex, which is the supposed Holy Grail of smoking cessation. I fully expect ,however, to go through hideous withdrawals that may include nail chewing, hallucinations, projectile vomiting and a general sense of malaise. Woohoo!...good times, good times.

Anyway, I have yet to start the drug. It takes 7-10 days to build up in your system, all the while you continue to smoke.Then it restricts the nicotine receptors in your brain, which in my case cover the medulla oblongata like a field of poppies.

I'll keep you posted on my progress or lack thereof.

Buckle up...it's going to be a bumpy ride.

Good morning!
Well, I have finally started a blog of my very own. Now, before I go any further, let's get a couple of things straight.
First, I am not a very good typist, so any typos you see will probably be a result of too fat fingers striking too small keys.
Secondly, although I have a fairly good command of the English language and am known in some circles as an exceptional speller, I do not remember enough of Sister Columba's freshman English class to feel overly confident in my sentence and paragraph structure. Bear with me and try not to be overly critical.
O.K., now that that is out of the way, you might be asking yourself "What does this guy have to say that might interest me?" Well, maybe nothing. Then again, I may say something that grabs your attention, tickles your fancy, amuses you or enrages. All very valid activities...and whadda ya want for free???
