Hemp; For Environmental Victory

Chirren; (That's how our local Congressperson, Corrine Brown*says children. It sounds more learn-ned that way, hmmm?)

 ...Today we will mention the environment, and how we all need to do what we can to help preserve it for the fewtchums. I mean future.

Environment and ecology, hallowed be thy names to the new religious acolytes of the Earth Worshippin' types. If you listen to the squawkers from the media, you would think we were all living on a liferaft that is running out of flotation, I mean wood.

"Use hemp, not trees for paper..."

I visited Dr. Patrick Moore (Co-Founder of Greenpeace and the Author of the "Sustainable Greenspirit" site) and it seems he has become a more realistic environmentalist, in that he is not a Luddite, (unlike his former buddies at Greenpeace) but believes that we can do a bit more to keep things clean while enjoying the benefits of living in the modern world. Like clean and renewable Nuclear Power.

Click on the link and be prepared to read some interesting counterclaims to the rot we are exposed to everyday in the communist/collectivist media.

So endeth, our environmentalist  sermon.

I can hardly wait for November. We really need to vote common sense back into D.C.

Wow. Talent time:

Sometimes, we just forget the magnitude of talent that Jim Nabors has/had. 


I ripped this off from my old friend Gary, I know that a couple of you might enjoy watching this. Gary follows this blog and he
works hard to put his ideas on the innerwebz, so stop by and say "hi".

Saturday End of Action Report

There was a vintage automobile drive in and fair at the Yacht Club, and the Spousal Unit decided to have her car participate.

I brought the car to a gas station auto detailer early in the morning, and after an hour and a half the Mercedes was in top form for showing. I drove home, gathered up She Who Will B Obeyed and our overnight bags and advanced to the Yacht Club. at 12:00 Noon, we parked next to some of the other participants.

All of these cars are owned by fellow members, and I am sure ours was the most inexpensive. But we held our own in the looks department especially since our car is a regularly used car.

That's the Spousal Unit and Wendy standing towards the back.

Sweetest car present, 1965 Ferrari 2.75, V-12

Our food and drink providers, Rosanna and the Charming Wendy.

There was cotton candy, corn dogs, burgers and other Fairground foods. Wonderful time, the club really knows how to throw down with the grub.

(I confess that I drank all of the Heinekins) Thanks!

Late night Friday

I was visiting the Exile in Portales and he had a nice artsy video with great music and dancing.

Cool tunes, but it got me in the mood for some Perez Prado. When I think of fifties, I always think of the classics like Dino, Frank and Bobby. But Cuban music was really hot back then, and all the musicians wore jackets and ties in Miami, of all places.

America; We are well and truly screwed.

This by way of Ace of Spades and Innocent Bystander:



Some idiotic, grabasstic piece of trash Democrat Politician in Milwaukee, who holds a College degree in "Human Services" (I wonder about the value of most of our so-called Social Workers) who passionately tries to argue why Milwaukee should boycott Arizona. Food and oxygen is wasted on that nice lady. I would gladly pay her airfare to emigrate to any Muslim Country.

I went over to one of my favorites; Jerry Pournelle and this is his latest;

The United States has still to find a new picture of its role in a more realisticallyconceived future, a future in which Liberal Democracy is not welcomed with open arms -- particularly not if brought in with Abrams tanks -- and a future in which the survival of the United States does not require a military establishment larger than those of the rest of the world combined. We have yet to coldly assess our national interests in China and the Far East; India;Pakistan;The Near East; The Middle East, and this hemisphere. As a result we don't have control of our own borders but we look to control the borders of Afghanistan.

Read Dr. Pournelle's site for the whole essay and weep that he is no longer involved in our Government. Dr. Pournelle and a team of thinkers worked for President Reagan in developing the idea and plans for the Strategic Defense Initiative.

On the General McChrystal deal

Guys; Did I not say this about a year and a half ago???

Check out Blackfive (The Paratrooper of Love)

I had a long drawn out post about why the Good General had to be fired, but I got overwhelmed by events at work. So, a day later... everyone is piling on.

Sometimes, we hit the limits of our incompetence. Mine happened to be quite low on the food chain, so nobody got hurt. Others, like the great General, have huge impact on others.

I think that General McChrystal is a great American Warrior, but he had to do what he did for his own reasons. The President was right in doing what he did, because the Constitution requires it.

I have no hard feelings for either.

Just don't fruit the fargin' beer.  Ok?

And win this fu$%^(n war. Our future depends on it.

Friday, Finally.

Once again, we reach that fifth day of the week which free's most of us from the burdens of work, at least for the next 48 hours.

We have a noted artist living in our community, Cliff Leonard. Cliff Leonard has taken it upon himself to create clay art in the likeness of area Marines and Navy Corpsmen who have given their lives for our country. This from the Jacksonville Times-Union.

This picture belongs to Cliff Leonard and is used only as an example.

A great talent used for the betterment of us all.

Have a great weekend!
