Helen Thomas says it is time for Jews

to go back to Germany and Poland... It isn't "their land."

Poor Helen. She knows less about history than we thought she did

It is past time for her to retire.

Nonsense of the Left

From time to time a troll wanders in with a comment that so describes them that it deserves a post of its own.

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Gun Control and Ted Nugent":


I didn't know you could stroll around in a car:


He is thought to have first killed his brother in Lamplugh before returning to Frizington, where he opened fire on Mr Commons.


He then drove to Whitehaven where he shot Mr Rewcastle, before shooting the rest of his victims in seemingly indiscriminate attacks


And as you can see from this map here, the first two cities mentioned are rather far apart for a stroll.


But, please, don't let any facts get in the way of a good rant.

What a dummy I have here. H/She couldn't read the post where I wrote:

"....you can look it up if you're interested in the gritty detail."

Evidently h/she doesn't care about the fact that the victims were unable to defend themselves. H/she only cares about HOW THE KILLER DID IT and then complaining that I am not interested in that, or why he killed.

Well, I'm not interested. The facts are he killed. The government who was supposed to protect the victims failed. And it failed by denying them the right to defend themselves.

He probably had a bad childhood. Maybe his house was in foreclosure.

Hey, that was the excuse for the Times Square bomber!

Hey, dummy! Go back and watch the Nugent video. Pay particularly attention to the part about self defense and moral compass. Obviously you don’t have one.

Gun Control and Ted Nugent

On Tuesday a man in England strolled around and killed a bunch of people. I don't know how many, you can look it up if you're interested in the gritty detail.

I'm more interested in the fact that England has laws that kept these people from having guns to protect themselves with. A government that does that obviously is frightened of the citizen, and most likely.... especially based on some of the British government's latest moves... deservedly so.

But I digress. Here's what Ted Nugent said a while back.

On catching trolls

Mrs B has a cuz with an autisitic teen kid. Not profoundly so, just kinda out there and prone to fantasy.

Teen calls mom....

"I just captured a troll!"

Mom sez...

"That's nice Honey. I'll see him when I get home."

Mom comes home......hears all manner of thumping and banging coming from her hall closet. Opens the door....out pops a midget Census Taker.....madder'n hell and screaming bloody murder.....

True story.......

Oil and the liesure class - Commentator's Comment Award

It's been a while since we have had a "Commentator's Comment Award." Not that there haven't been thousands that meet my strict standards, but that I have been slothful and lazy. That end's this morning with this jewel of a comment.

The subject was the oil leak in the Gulf and the use of oil by society. The venue is
Talk Left.

Read the comment several times. It will get better each time.

are very adept at getting around outside of NYC. I would say that we can be very resourceful.

Interesting (for me anyway) development on the buses in NoCal since I last lived here, bus racks on the front of buses. And they are used :) Rapid transit cars also are all equipped for bikes, and they are also used. Yesterday, 3 bikers sitting next to me. None looked like a "biker" either. One was a pre-teen getting around. The key to good public transit is making it all work together. I can get anywhere throughout NoCal all on my own. And do. Everything hooks up and is scheduled together. Took just a bit of research up front.

Reducing a dependency on oil is fairly easy if you're willing to look around a bit and be not so creative. It's really more relaxing also, imo. And I'm not talking just transportation :) And just so you know, I haven't lived in a "concrete tower" in my life. I'm partial to Victorians ;)

Report from the eve of summer

Blogging has been scarce. What with the garden, yard work, and maintenance on the palatial retirement compound. And baseball... I really don't know how I managed to find time to work before retirement.

Over the past weeks I’ve had a birthday and an anniversary. Frankly, I never thought I would live this long and there is little doubt that I married a Saint. No ordinary female would have put up with me all these years.

I am and have been power washing the outside of the house and deck. The house because it has become dirty with some mold and the deck because it has collected mold and dirt, especially where the trees and bushes nudge up against it and must be cleaned before it is re-treated with water repellant and stain. Such is the penalty of living where snow and ice are rare occurrences.

The garden has caught up. The tomatoes are loading up with fruit… yes city boys and girls tomatoes are a fruit…and the cukes are growing so fast you can almost see them. We had fresh onions as a side salad dish last night and they were as sweet and tasty as your first kiss.

Coaching youth baseball is like herding cats… It can be done but only if the cats agree. I think that is true of most activities that our kids engage in. I practice loud praise in public and criticize quietly in the dugout. So far only one parent has decided the position that their child must play and after discussion he wisely agreed that the team needed his son’s strong arm in the outfield to turn the triples into doubles and singles.

Baseball is the most American sport because each player stands alone and performs before all who watch. It is the game of farmers and shop keepers and small business owners. There are routine plays after routine plays that must be done flawlessly with no great fanfare or expectation. Yet there are times when a player must step forward and do the unexpected great act. The diving stop to save a run and the game… the single up the middle by the “good field no hit” infielder.

But the best thing about baseball and kids is that it teaches them that the fun is in trying. And that while losing today’s game is bad there will be another game and that if they work hard and play hard they can win that next game.

Persistence is the most important virtue.
