34 Shopping Days till Christmas

Thanks to Cyndi L and Stauer, I completed my Christmas shopping months ago. Now, all that's left is to deliver the gifts. So, I will be out of town from the 10th through the 15th. Don't know if I'll be online or not. I gotta test the wireless card on my laptop to see if it's working. Last time I took a trip, it wasn't. I've made reservations at Microtel and the Olde Towne pet resort and the cats' stay will cost more than mine. I could have put them up at the PetSmart for a quarter the price, but they have nobody but teens working there and I'm leery about that. I start assembling my turducken today. It's a two-day job even with just the breast. I'm tempted to just pop it in the oven, but I'll wait till tomorrow. Gotta honor tradition. I'm going to clear the junk -- which occupies every square inch -- off my dining room table. Not only will the food taste better at the table, I'll be able to set up an Atari computer I bought about a year ago and start playing my vast library of games again. Like a fool, I threw away my old Atari ST when I thought I was going to be marrying about six years ago. It wasn't working, but I could have fixed it with parts from e-bay. I just watched one of my favorite shows -- Bones. I think there's a competition between all those shows -- Bones, NCIS and the CSI shows -- to come up with the grossest, goriest, most disgusting human remains. They seem to top themselves with every episode. But I still watch -- not the CIS shows. I punched the phone number to MicroTel into my navigation system yesterday, and sure enough, it plotted a course to Springfield, IL. Amazing. Remember that the next time a store clerk asks for your phone number. No telling who might be listening. Five am. I've been up since one after going to bed at 9 pm. Guess I'll go catch a few more hours of sleep before I tackle the table and the remains of three species of bird. Finis

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.

3. A stupid person is not someone who can't learn, but someone who refuses to learn.

10. Children are not stupid. If a child is taught, the child will learn. If a child is not learning, the child is not being taught.

29. Reading Democratic Party platforms is like reading the history of human rights abuses and crimes against humanity in this country.

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.
