Things Are Coming Together

OK, I took the cats to the kitty hotel this morning. They meowed louder than I've ever heard them before. By the time we got there, Ginger was just able to squeak. Her meower was all worn out. If cats can think, I hate to imagine what they're thinking now, or what they'll be thinking for the next 10 days. That place was out in the middle of nowhere. I never would have found it without my Garmin GPS. Looks like a good place to meet women though. It's staffed entirely by single females.....(heh, nuns). Ah, but while I was there, I saw a steady stream of ladies picking up and dropping off dogs. And there I stood -- the cat guy in the cowboy boots. Next, I did a bunch of pre-trip things, like the laundry, putting out the trash, filling the automatic fish feeder, doing the dishes, etc. Still haven't packed though. I guess I'll spend the rest of the evening stacking things in my staging area. I'm giving my dehydrator to my sister. I'm going out of the beef jerky business. And, I GOT MY CAR! About 4 pm, the phone rang and "Dave" said I could have my car if I could get there by five. So I pulled a pair of WET PANTS out of the dryer and dashed for the door. You are not a man if you've never worn wet jeans. They told me that fixing and cleaning the water out of the trunk wouldn't cost me anything. But I still had a $275 car rental bill. I just found out that my XM radio isn't working properly. I just called Manila, or wherever their customer service is, and they said they'd work on it. So, now I have to run downstairs in an hour and see if it's picking up more than the demo channel. It is very strange not having cats in the place. It's the first time since November that there has not been another mammal in my apartment. I don't have to look where I'm walking, I don't have to worry about a flying cat tipping over my beer glass (filled with Coke Zero), I don't have to field complaints about the litter box, I don't have to worry about closing the door when I use the bathroom. It's like being single again. Why did I give that up?

Talking Points

I don't use talking points, I create them.

1. Hate makes people stoopid.

2. There is nothing so impenetrable as a closed mind.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
