Important Stuff -- Or Not: Rambling

Rambling

It's going to be a big day. I have the Geek Squad coming in this morning to put together my home theatre. It's just been setting in a stack since I move into this apartment a few years ago, and I added a few components during Christmas, so I guess it's about time I actually watched it. I really can't climb around with my broken ankle, so I hired peeps. I've been watching TV on my computer using Slingbox, one of the coolest inventions EVER. After they leave, I have another Geek Squad team coming in this afternoon to set up my computer network. I've tried time after time, but just can't get the hang of it. And then, it is Tea Party day. I have a feeling at some point, my watching and their installing are going to clash. The media and left-wing bloggers are going to be screaming meemies for weeks after this. They believe that speech is free only for liberals and that civil protest -- when done by the right -- is akin to civil war. To quote Little Caesar, they can dish it out, but they caaan't take it. I seem to have a pack cat (cat rat?) on my hands. I was admiring my clean apartment last night and noticed all the cat toys were neatly arranged in front of my fireplace. I didn't do it. I have also been stepping on insulin pen needle covers with my bare feet. I pick them up and throw them in the trash, but then I step on another one. They are like little thimbles. I found a cache of them behind my kitchen trash can. It seems that Willow has been stockpiling them to play with later. I'll have to start throwing them away to begin with, rather than leaving them on my dining room table. So, I have a hoarding cat. Another of her annoying compulsions is that she covers all the cat bowls with something after meal time. She scratches like she's covering her droppings and then I find a cat toy or a piece of paper in the bowl later. Once I found a credit check in a bowl. That means she must have gone to my roll top desk, taken it and put it in one of the bowls. Of course, that means none of the other cats can eat from it and if I don't uncover it, the food goes to waste. Is there a Cat Whisperer in the house?

Our Toy Poodle puppy likes to chew the ends off my cell phone charger cords. Unlike a cat, as long as they aren't near the floor where she can reach them, she can't get at them, but the other day, one must have fallen on the floor and it didn't take long for her to render it useless.

I predict the tea party thing won't do much to alert America of the danger we're in. For one thing, the media will put a Liberal spin on it or won't cover it at all. And that means the people who really need to learn about it won't learn about it because they only watch NBC, CBS, and ABC for their news.

Also, I've heard the Libs are planning to infiltrate the tea parties and cause disruptions.; 7:40 AM
Anonymous said...: At least Willow does something with her toys besides leaving them all over the house, like Twix does.

Twix scratches like that, too. Usually it's over some invisible spot on the floor. She sniffs and sniffs it then tries to cover it. I can only guess she smells something and thinks it's bad enough to be buried. Maybe Willow is registering her dislike of your choice of food for her, even though she may be eating it because there isn't any other choice. It's only a guess....; 9:25 AM

Anonymous said...: LOL--truly you spoil your felines. Twix pretty much eats the same thing day in and day out. I've never had a cat not interested in licking my ice cream bowl until I got her.; 9:07 AM

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.
