On the Road Pt. 3

If you spray a hot pig with cold water you'll kill it. That's one of many farm facts I picked up from my friend Lorence and his eldest daughter during a conversation Sunday evening. Seems pigs don't sweat (so much for the term "sweat like a pig") and spraying them with cold water will send them into shock. They have to wallow in mud (thus the term, "dirty as a pig"). I am in Green Bay, WI. I'm a few days ahead of schedule. Hopefully, my favorite hotel will take me a day early. I guess my car is faster than I thought it was. I've been averaging about 28 mpg at 65 mph. One of the reasons is probably that it's doing only 1500 rpm at 65, so I'm basically idling down the road. Stayed in a MicroTel last night, which is my favorite chain motel. They still have reasonable rates. I let Lorence drive my car Sunday, and of course, he had to stop dead on the highway and then accelerate to about 90. You can do that around here because even on the main roads, cars pass so seldom. I felt like I was being shot out of a cannon. I dread what my sister is going to do when I give her a turn. Maybe I can change the subject. I spilled some Coke on my iphone yesterday when I accelerated and forgot to hold the drink in the useless cup holder. And now it's totally dead, so I am incommunicado until I get it looked at or get a new phone. And that's where I'm going now. After breakfast. And after I get some new jeans. They actually have places in Green Bay that sell clothes. I'm off to greet the world, and get some free food in the lobby. Later, from a different location.

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.
