.. that the butt-cheese-eating media have trotted out in the past 6 years, this one comes verra', verra' close to taking the Bush Derangement Syndrome Trophy for 2006:
"Saddam's Execution won't Bolster Bush's Ratings"
was the headline over a load of claptrap that features quotes from professors, Jesse Jackson and John Zogby and "proves" how "badly" President Bush has mis-handled the war. My ass. What are these hammerheads going to vent their hate onto after GWB leaves office? Be afraid. Be very afraid....

Shamelessly Stolen
... from the Phoenix:
If you don't like the rights Americans have, and you live in America, get out of the country. Go live somewhere far away from of all the dangerous bastards with guns, the Christians who oppress you with their Chrismas music, and the greedy rich white people who want little black babies to starve to death in the streets. Maybe some Communists will help you find a nice place to stay and a good job. I don't care where you go, but get out of my country if you hate it so much.
If you don't like the rights Americans have, but live in another country, shut the fuck up. Don't ask us for help the next time some charismatic psycho with an army tries to take over your country, either. Just wag your finger at them and nag them back into the abyss they came from.
Jeez, the young lady has the propah attitude. Y'all want the benefits, do the duties. End O' story....

It's Always Someting....
As Roseanne Roseannadanna used to say. The Boss's abdominal pains did NOT go away with medication, so we returned to the ER last night. After more x-rays and a CAT scan, the new winner is not diverticulitis or a urinary tract infection but kidney stones. They kept her there overnight for observation, so I still don't have a real feel for this. When I know, I'll spread the word....
UPDATE: The lovely and talented Mrs. underwent surgery to remove one of two stones. It was small enough that ordinarily they wouldn't futz with it, but it blocked the urinary duct and an infection was growing behind it. A stent was put in and now all is well; albeit sore. She was complaining about the hospital bed until she remembered I'd spent 4 months in one or another. Sort of a role reversal for us - I bitched about the traffic to and from the hospital. Hope this was our last adventure for a while....

I'll be dipped and deep fried
Welcome to my day after Christmas. This entry brought to you courtesy of the lovely and talented wife's new 'puter. Got it sorted out and hitched to the wireless. Like my Compaq over the MacBook, though, probably through familiarity more than anything else.
The l&t wife woke me up @ 0150 and stated that she had a very bad ache in the intestines. Not a good thing. So off we ran to the ER with visions of a full house and interminable wait dancing through my pointy lil head. When we got there the ER was empty and we were in front of a doctor before 10 minutes had passed. After urine and blood samples and an x-ray, a painkiller and 2 antibiotics were issued to halt the diagnosed case of diverticulitis (full prescriptions to be picked up today). We were back home and she was back in bed by 0520. Knowing that the alarm was going to go off in about 15 minutes, I stayed up and segued right into work. Unfortunately, she and her mother had to cancel their trip to see my daughter in Michigan they had planned for today because the Vicodin knocked her flat on her kazoo.... I told her she should go tomorrow, but that looks like a non-starter. Oh well. They're out rodding around together shopping, so at least they're having what they consider fun....
BTW - her face was bee-yooty-full when she took the wrapping paper off of the MacBook - she damn near flipped. The only problem is what am I gonna do for an encore next year....

Jebus Loves Us
The holiday season is proceeding at warp speed. Both kids are home for Christmas and we're all set for our 35th annual trek to my MILs house. When we first married it was her familys house on Christmas Eve and my parents house on Christmas Day. The whole clan gathers and has a gift exchange for the (mostly) adults - kids get presents from everybody. One year one of my BIL bought all the kids (about 8 of them IIRC) a battery-powered police car each WITH A SIREN. Absolute bedlam. It was more than 20 years ago and we still laugh about it...
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to both of my occasional readers. Be safe and treasure your fambly and friends.....

Getcher
Getcher ass over here NOW. Read, think, repeat. Connie has written a magnum opus that should be required reading for every English-speaker in the US - and doesn't need to be translated into Spanish for the wetbacks because they've lived it... Something has to be done and amnesty ain't it. I saw the 3rd World in Pleiku in 1969 - it helped make the the bitter old fart I am (when I see airy-fairy liberal types try to destroy the highest standard of living in the world). Read this and weep while you smile for the builders of Injuh - who are doing their best to provide for their kids as we do for ours.
Thank you, Mrs. DuToit.
Thank you, Mrs. DuToit.
Chopping
Well, finally finished my Christmas shopping. Yay for me! I bought the two presents the Boss told me she wanted and ordered her surprise gift today. I have sweet-talked her into cutting out ads for the stuff she wants and giving them to me. She gets what she wants and I skate.
But I always get something(s) for her that she couldn't guess in a L-O-N-G time. This year I'm trying to thank her for being such an anchor while I was sick (she had a LOT to do with saving my life). So I bought her a Macbook laptop with wireless. Cost a shitpot, but she's worth going into debt for. Even if I didn't (all the debt I have now is a car note that'll be paid off by next Christmas. The mortgage is paid.). Can't wait to see her face.... Bear, if you tell her, I'll find out and you won't like it.....
It's never as bad as you think it is....

Behind the Curve - again
Just picked up a primo idea from the Gray Dog. He thinks that Dennis Kucinich (Congresscritter - Mars) wasn't too far off in his desire to have a Department of Peace in the Cabinet. Just do it THIS way:
1. Department of Defense goes back to pre-1949 name of Department of War. Self-explanatory.
2. Department of Homeland Security is re-named Department of Defense. That's their job, defending the USA from internal and external threats. FEMA ain't part of it, but border-patrolling is. First response is a local issue, not federal. Nowhere in the Constitution does it allow FEMA to get funding from the federal till - the states have to do it.
3. The new Department of Peace is the old State Department. Replace all the striped-pants, UN-first and moral-equivalency azzoles with engineers, technicians, logisticians, environmentalists, doctors and cops - all qualified to train others for the countries we send them to work in. Let them do the nation-building shit (along with the Peace Corps and VISTA) that our military wasn't trained specifically to do - although the military's doin' a helluva job at it. Give them timetables for withdrawal, not the War Department.

Lull b4 Bela Pelosi takes center ring
Well, the Ds haven't mustered their Congressional troopies yet and done anything real stoopid. The fact that they haven't been sworn at yet has probably slowed them a little, altho' Cindy-the-space-cadet (D-Atlanta, involuntarily retired) has filed the first impeachment charge against W.
Isn't that cute? Run along, now Cindy, the adults are talking. Go peddle your conspiracy theories elsewhere or assault a cop (as a private citizen) or something. Just be missing....

Overload
Since Bolton got the heave-ho, the chattering 535 yammerheads have been making noises searching for an Iraqi-themed gravitas usuable to propel them into higher office and fuller pockets. Except Dennis Kucinich. He's still on his mother ship. Today's :news" is a perfect example of extreme noise-to-content ratio regarding THE REPORT. What a weak load....

Multicultural, my ass
Well, as I see it, the PC crowd has been driving us toward dhimmitude since the '60s. When you "value" every ethical system equally, you value none of them. I firmly b'lieve in death before dhimmi and intend to practice what I preach.
The US Air monkey bidness with the 6 imams is looking more and more like a deliberate attempt to loosen scrutiny of Muslim passengers. But the ACLU pussies have managed to gut the ability of airline owners to run their business. OK, two can play that game. US Air should change its name to "Porky's" and require that each passenger eat a pulled pork or bacon sammich before boarding. Yes, I realize that this would also eliminate observant Orthodox from the passenger lists, but the Moose-slimes couldn't whine that it discriminated against them on the basis of their so-called religion. Unless CAIR hired Gloria Allred or a similar waste of oxygen....
Things are rapidly coming to a head in this country. Get your SHTF bag ready.....
