Redneck Seafood Dinner

May I suggest a nice PBR to compliment the meal??

And you don't even want to see the arrangement of pussy willow and buttercups for the table centerpiece.

My thanks to Mr. Ken!

Let every vote count!!!... err make that half...

This from TalkLeft.

In today's conference call, the Clinton campaign conceded any rules-based or fairness-based argument for the full seating of the Florida and Michigan delegations. The Clinton campaign declared that, unlike Iowa, NH and South Carolina, Florida and Michigan did indeed break the DNC rules and without justification..;..

.....It seems to me that the obvious response by the RBC is to rely on its staff memo which says it can only restore half of the delegates, and that to honor the voters of Florida and Michigan, it will magnaminously do so.

Hey, works for me!

Wonder how much play this will get on the MSM. My guess is not even half...

Democrats never change.

This article shows that their agenda has been no drilling, and it has not changed as the country suffers.

WASHINGTON September 21 2005 - Over the din of beating tom-toms, surrounded by activists wearing antlers and dressed as polar and grizzly bears, Senator Clinton yesterday dismissed high gas prices and the destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina as a "diversion," cautioning that proponents of arctic drilling were exploiting recent crises to make their case for a long-term anti-environment agenda.

And I love this.

Bemoaning the fate of the porcupine caribou resident in ANWR, New York's junior senator said the solution to "$65-a-barrel oil" was not increasing domestic petroleum output but instead devising alternative fuels. "The answer to our energy challenge does not lie under the plains of the arctic refuge," she said, "but in the minds that are ingenious in America."

Evidently the lawyers and environmental wackos' minds aren't "ingenious" because the problem remains. In fact, it has gottem much worse.

But we should remember these are the people and their children who, during their Vietnam demonstration dasys, opined that "Food is." I have always thought that defined them better than anything else. They believe it is their right to be supported by the rest of us while telling the rest of us what to do!

As for the Demos,you gotta love this:

Over the din of beating tom-toms, surrounded by activists wearing antlers and dressed as polar and grizzly bears,

Did you ever stop and think that the country is in big trouble and here we have Clinton and Kennedy associating with such as these?

FDR, Truman, JFK... they all must be spinning in their graves.

Stupid statements

abound in this world, and telling me that $4.00 gas is cheap is at the top of the list.

When measured on an inflation-adjusted basis, the current price of gasoline is only slightly higher than it was in 1922. According to the Energy Information Administration, in 1922, gasoline cost the current-day equivalent of $3.11. Today, according to the EIA, gasoline is selling for about $3.77 per gallon, only about 20 percent more than 86 years ago.

So what. In 1922 the country was basically an agriculture based economy and both husband and wife didn't drive 20 miles one way to get to work.

Given the ever-increasing global demand for oil products—during the first quarter of this year, China's oil consumption jumped by 16.5 percent—and the increasing costs associated with finding, producing, and refining crude oil, it makes sense that today's motorists are paying more for their motor fuel than their grandparents and great-grandparents did.

I don't believe that China's consumption jumped 16.5% in three months. That would be almost impossible. Did it increase some? Probably.

Gasoline is also a fairly minor expense when you consider the overall cost of car ownership. In 1975, gasoline made up 33.4 percent of the total cost of owning and operating a car. By 2006, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, gasoline costs had declined to just 17.1 percent of the total cost of car ownership

That's a fancy and misleading way of saying that a 1976 car cost about $5-$6K and 2006 model hit about $26K. The author must never have taken a logic or math course.

On the environmental front, people concerned about greenhouse-gas emissions should be cheering today's oil prices.

People stupid enough to believe in GW will probably cheer anything they are told to cheer. The rest of us see it as what it is. A huge transfer of wealth from the west to the OPEC countries.

American gasoline is also dirt-cheap compared with gas in other countries.

Catch a clue. We don't live in "other countries." And if I wanted to pay $8.00 a gallon I would move to France, or some other God forbidden place.

You should also remember that the "other countries" are geographically small as compared to the US and because of this have a more developed public transportation system. Re size - Germany is just slightly larger than one of our smaller states Wisconsin..

(Gasoline is also cheap compared with other essential fuels. A Starbucks venti latte costs the equivalent of $23 per gallon, while Budweiser beer runs $11 per gallon.)

Real men don't drink venti latte and you don't own beer, you merely rent it for a while...And neither will work in my car.

The simple truth is that Americans are going to have to get used to more expensive gasoline. And while they may continue grumbling at the pump, they need to accept the fact that even at $3.50 or $4 per gallon, the fuel they are buying is still a bargain.

Tell that to Joe and Jane Sixpack who make around $70K combined and have carefully budgeted their gasoline costs at $150 per month.

You see, it doesn't matter what things use to cost. What matters is what things were expected to cost. The latter is no problem. The failure of the expectation is spelled, "bankruptacy."

After reading this article I know why I don't sub to Slate. Its intelligence level is not up to mine.

Moonbat! Moonbat!

Did you ever wonder where the word used to describe our Leftie friends came from?

6:35 p.m. There is a far-left columnist name George Monbiot, and it's widely believed that his name gave rise to the term "moonbat." He tried to make a citizen's arrest of John Bolton in England after our former UN ambassador gave a speech at a literary festival. Security guards blocked the arrest. Apparently, Mr. Monbiot believes Mr. Bolton to be a war criminal, no better than the Nazis. Monbiot's feelings about Osama bin Laden or Saddam Hussein were not immediately apparent.

My thanks to the always interesting, and authoritative UrgentAgenda.

Perhaps someone can now tell us about "Wingnuts." Heaven knows people calling each other "Moonbat" and "Wingnut" add so much to Western civilization and culture...

Pass the koolaid, darling. All this heavy typing raises a thirst.

Bits and pieces

Feel better than I have in a while. The drugs must be working overtime...

Speaking of Working Overtime...

Finally purchased a MPEG player and Bose headset.... loaded over 400 songs on it...all golden oldies.... Amazing.... over 400 songs and you can understand every word of them..... Well, almost every... Most Yankees couldn't understand Elvis.. which contributed to his popularity... They all thought he was saying, "I got something in my pants...."

Now I can listen to such classics as "Call me"..... "Speedo"..... "They all can call me Speedo but my real name is Mr. Earl......" Such depth...

And then there was "Little Darling"..... Did anyone ever write, "Big Beautiful Woman Darling?" Of course not. But then that was before the Internet...

The wet cool weather continues. The woods around the palatial retirement compound are a dark green and all of the grass and trees are so full of moisture they look like they will pop if touched. The resident two deer come out on the lower side every late afternoon for a drink and a casual measuring look at me kicked back on the deck enjoying them.... I think they know I am a meat eater, but too lazy and too unstressed in the protein supply to bother them. But based on the actions of the stock market and the price of oil...someone should advise them to exercise caution.

I have read a few comments in a few blogs that say that MSNBC and NBC are pro Hussein... Ah, the insight of the Internet astounds me..

Was it "Hardball's" Chris Matthews saying of Hussein, "He sends a tingle up my leg" that tipped them off? Perhaps. I mean Matthews was speaking of his political leg.... wasn't he??

I heard this during my last trip to LA at a poker table.

Little Blind had just called and Big Blind raised. The action was heads up.

Big Blind said as Little Blind agonized over what to do. "I raised with Big Slick. Without stretching my brain I can think of 4 things that can happen on the flop. Three of them are good for me, one good for you... Please call..."

He got his wish and won a fair sized pot. Even when they are told the dummies won't leave...

Hillary has mailed a letter and 12 page treatise as seen here explaining why she's the one. She fails to remember that, as Chris Matthews showed, logic can never overcome love.

This from BizzBlog who continues to do masterful work in showing the deception and utter nonsense of the MSM.

With all the hype about the home-price plunge,......Prices nationwide were 3.1% lower than they were a year ago.....WITH the decrease during the last four quarters, that’s 47.6% appreciation in seven years.

Only 47.6%. The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

....Appreciation during the seven years that ended on March 31, 2001, almost all of it before George Bush took office and started ruining everything (/sarc), was 36.3%

Yeah, but a Demo was President!!!

Later dear chums!

Well some Muslims hang gays

At least all this one is doing is threatening to sue about a transgender person.

A sex swap instructor at an all-female driving school was left devastated when the Sheffield husband of one of her pupils threatened to sue her firm – for sending a man to teach his Muslim wife.

Emma Sherdley – formerly a married dad of two called Andrew but now legally a woman – […] has a birth certificate and a "gender recognition certificate" to prove her legal status as a woman […]. She is being backed by her boss, Laugh n Pass owner Joanne Dixon, who says the man had called her to accuse the firm of sending a man disguised as a woman because he was a Muslim. […]

"That man accused us of being racist, yet his attitude towards Emma showed prejudice of the very worst kind. […] He was saying, 'You have sent me a man, send me a proper female, how dare you send a man with a deep voice'. Then he claimed we had deliberately sent a man disguised as a woman because he was a Muslim. […]

Emma says the outburst had made her seriously consider quitting her job. But she says Joanne's support has made her determined to ride out the storm and carry on with her career.

"...."That man accused us of being racist, yet his attitude towards Emma showed prejudice of the very worst kind....."

Uh, read any newspapers? Internet?? No? Why am I not surprised??
