Important Stuff -- Or Not: Rambling

Rambling

Did you know that this Christmas there is only one gift guaranteed to get women to take their clothes off? A Pajama-gram! Don't even THINK about it guys. This is not only one of the commercials I hate most, but I have done an informal survey of female acquaintances and co-workers and they have told me that if given a Pajama-gram, they would put a lump of coal in their significant other's stocking -- and then proceed to beat him senseless with it. Christmas is just five days away. If I'm going to do my annual Santa drive this year, it will have to be after I get off work on Tuesday. It will be raining Christmas eve, and what's the point on Christmas Day? With a high temperature of 36 forecast for Tuesday, this will be the coldest run ever. I'd send some elves out in my place, but I'm not trusting any elf with my Corvette. Did you SEE that movie with Will Ferrell? I did my last Christmas shopping Thursday -- for myself. I got a pair of slippers, a fleece bathrobe some boxer briefs and -- oh, what the heck -- a 26" flatscreen TV/DVD player for my bedroom. It was only $420, and I need something to distract me from my ankle pain. Hey, it HURTS! The more details I get about Inauguration Day, the more uneasy I become. The powers that be have decided to lock down our parking lot at 6 am. That means, any cars parked there will have to be out or will be locked in all day. Problem is, I don't leave work until 7:30. So, I'll have to move my car......where? Every parking garage and street slot will be filled. Taking public transportation to and from work will be impossible. And every room within a 10-mile radius (at least) will be rented, so I can't even spend that day in a hotel. Woe is me, woe is me. Washington is preparing for the Big Day. There's no way the public transit system will be able to move five million people. Ten thousand tour buses? HAH! They can't even handle daily rush hour traffic. And I don't even want to think about the porta-potty situation. Their solution? The DC city council has authorized bars to stay open until 5 am during inauguration week. Wonderful. I don't drink, but if I did, I can't imagine myself drinking at 5 am. Of course, with every large gathering of democrats, there is also an explosion of prostitutes and drug dealers. Those crimes will be generally overlooked. Maybe cool heads will prevail and they will adjust our work hours that morning. Pffft. I've done a bit of reformatting of my other blog to make it easier to navigate. I've also added a few articles and items to my blogroll. One fascinating item on the blogroll is the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, which allows you to track nearly 35,000 slaving voyages. What began as a way to rage against the racism of democrats is starting to evolve into a pretty decent black history site. And here I bet all of you thought I was white.

I have been fortunate enough to meet a couple of surviving Tuskegee Airmen while stationed at Maxwell AFB before I retired as well as while deployed to Kuwait.; 9:03 PM

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.

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.
