From The News!

Oh, I wish they would/could!

Arizona official threatens to cut off electricity to L.A. in retaliation for boycott

See Who is really crossing our Southern Border!

A video you should all watch concerning the New Immigration Bill being rammed through Congress. You aren’t going to like it! (The Bill.) Why is Congress trying to screw us Americans? To get the votes for the next elections.

Question: How in the Hell does an Illegal Alien get to vote in our elections? (Is anyone else out there thinking of things like this?)

Can you believe that with all the really important issues we could be thinking about and acting on the NEWS folks covered what Mrs. Obama wore to a party and what they had to eat? But you’d expect that in a country where who wins at singing on "American Idol" is followed more closely than our energy crises or who is going to grow food for the next generation (and how they’re going to do it!).

During a press conference today, Calderon strongly criticized Arizona’s new immigration law as discriminatory, and President Obama called for comprehensive immigration reform.

Who cares? If Calderon could take care of his people they wouldn’t be coming across the border Illegally. Sure it’s discriminatory, they freaking ILLEGALS. So, I guess Calderon & Obama both agree to support Illegal activities. Isn’t it nice when Heads of State get along?…

Senators press for National Guard troops on border

So, pay for more INS Agents or pay for the National Guard to patrol the border. Actually, having the National Guard do it would be a GREAT training ground for actual War. They’d get shot at and get to shoot back and all the humping in the desert. My, it might approximate actual conditions for all the wars we will continue to fight over in the mid-east…

Several tornadoes reported across Oklahoma

While I truly feel sorry for Oklahomians; what’s NEW about this News?

Cuban lawmakers denounce Arizona immigration law

And we care, why? Cuba doesn’t exactly have a long history of human rights advocacy, does it? We haven’t had great relations with them for a long time so why should we care what the heck they think about Arizona. What are they gonna do; stop their folks from swimming to Florida for a taste of freedom? Get real, folks!

Sean Penn tells Congress: Haiti needs urgent aid

No, what Haiti needs is a REAL government! And who the hell is Sean Penn and why do we care what he thinks? And, Hey Sean, what about sending aid to Tennessee instead? You know: take care of Americans first. Dweeb.

Pakistan blocks YouTube over unIslamic content

Aw, they hurt our feelings by not believing the way we do so let’s hide our heads in the sand and just not listen to them.

Fighting bull cloned for 1st time in Spain

My, what an important use of technology. Let’s make something to kill. Yeah, that sounds good. Well, at least they aren’t making humans to hunt down and kill. Yet.

Nations pledge crackdown on online alcohol ads

Yeah! Leaves more room online for the Porn ads!

Can chocolate fight aging and make your skin glow?

Need another test subject?

But don’t get me started!


On Obama

May 17th, 2010 . by Doc

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

- Joseph Goebbels

Y’all NEED to check out this link. All Americans are about to get screwed on this immigration issue.

Maytag Customer Service Sucks!

May 11th, 2010 . by Doc

Last April 2nd we drove  to the DirectBuy store “over there,’ and bought new Maytag washer & dryer. We were told they would be delivered by May 7th. May 7th comes and goes with no word from the Maytag folks about delivery. SWMBO calls DirectBuy to find out what’s going on. Was told that the delivery date was changed to April 30th then to May 13th then back to May 10. Cool. We can wait a couple more days.

May 10th comes and goes with NO word from Maytag about delivery. SWMBO gets back on the phone today with DirectBuy. They’ll call us back. They do: to tell us that Maytag NO LONGER makes the model washer we ordered and there are none in stock anywhere in the country. What!?! And NO ONE from Maytag thought to call us or DirectBuy and pass this important information along?

I sure hope this washer & dryer (whatever washer & dryer we finally wind up with) lasts a LONG time as I will never buy from Maytag again.  No wonder Google lists Maytag as #16 in appliances!

OTT everything is pretty much SSDD. Computer crashed again. So I installed Vista 64 and am rebuilding and reinstalling everything I usually use. What a major pain in the butt!!

Downloaded the install program for my zune (30 minutes) only to have the program refuse to install unless it was allowed to check for updates. Updates? I just downloaded it. So, when I finally got back online (have to wait for SWMBO to take a break from her work) I started the program only to have it spend 30 minutes downloading the Updates. ??? Why didn’t I get an updated program in the first place, Microsoft? I swear  you guys at Microsoft treat us (users) like a chicken at a frat party!

And I’ve got to reinstall Flight Simulator X later. THAT’s going to be fun! I have to call and register it because I’ve had to reinstall it so many times. Why can’t we reinstall and re-register as many times as we need to without hassle, Microsoft? I paid for the program!

I NEED CABLE INTERNET!

But don’t get me started!


Is Sex Work?

May 9th, 2010 . by Doc

A U.S. Marine Colonel was about to start the morning briefing to his staff. While waiting for the coffee machine to finish its brewing, the colonel decided to pose a question to all assembled.

He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky the night before and he failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep. He posed the question of just how much of sex was “work” and how much of it was “pleasure?”

A Major chimed in with 75-25% in favor of work.

A Captain said it was 50-50%.

A Lieutenant responded with 25-75% in favor of pleasure, depending upon his state of inebriation at the time.

There being no consensus, the colonel turned to the PFC who was in charge of making the coffee. What was HIS opinion?

Without any hesitation, the young PFC responded, “Sir, it has to be 100% pleasure.”

The colonel was surprised and, as you might guess, asked why?

“Well, sir, if there was any work involved, the officers would have me doing it for them.”
