No doubt with me that General Micael Walsh has done more to earn his title than Barbara Boxer has done to earn hers.
Unless getting on your knees for George Soros counts.

Stick a Needle In Him
I think for the trial they ought to hook this bastard up with an IV line.
Then, as soon as he is found guilty, hook his fat ass up to a bottle of Draino.

Gerry Rafferty RIP
Thirty something years ago, when I graduated from high school, Gerry Rafferty had a very popular album that included this Platinum single.
Maybe it is a kid thing, but in my life I've associated certain songs with different periods and women. This song is one of those, arousing feelings loss.
Gerry Rafferty passed away shortly after the New Year. He had been out of the spotlight since the middle eighties trying to recapture a fleeting moment of fantastic popularity. Perhaps because of reluctance to perform publicly, perhaps because of a reported drinking problem, Mr. Rafferty did not come close.
As a partner in the band Stealer's Wheel, Rafferty first stuck goad with the song "Stuck In the Middle With You", later made infamous in the movie "Reservoir Dogs".
RIP Gerry Rafferty (16 April 1947 – 4 January 2011)

It Couldn't Get Any Worse
Oh Yeah!
The results of this poll cracks me up, American cynicism at it's finest.
From the article...
By the way, that is an indication that Capitalism has deeper roots than Socialism.
Voters Continue To Believe Congress Can Always Make Things Worse
The results of this poll cracks me up, American cynicism at it's finest.
From the article...
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 60% of Likely Voters say no matter how bad things are, Congress can always find a way to make them worse. Only 23% disagree with this assessment, while another 16% are not sure.This says that only 1 in 4 voters believe that Congress can have a positive effect. I agree but hope we are all wrong. If it could be proved, which it cannot, the most economical first step would be close Congress, maybe elect a King. At least we would not have to pay for the privilege of politicians screwing up our lives.

Low Sodium Streets
On day four of the Atlanta ice storm, I make my way to eat lunch at the local Arby's. When many businesses are closed you can't be too selective.
After sliding down a section of ice covered road I come into the parking lot to see two Cobb County DOT trucks. One of the trucks is a stake body with many yellow bags of salt for spreading on the road, the other is a long bed pickup with a spreader on the tail end. No person is in either truck.
Going inside I see 5 Cobb DOT employees sunning themselves leisurely in the window, lunch was eaten (it was 12:10) and they were relaxing, almost tranquil.
Not one of the workers showed evidence of having exerted during the day, no sweat stains, no dirty clothes, no wet clothes. Horsing around those bags of salt is a dirty disgusting job.
After about ten minutes of sitting near the group, without a sound they all got up and meandered out the door. One truck went one direction, the pickup with the spreader went up the hill I just slid down, without the spreader on.
In my southeastern section of Cobb County the road condition has gone, for the most part, untended. Now I see why, the lazy bastards are willing to wait on the weather to turn, rather than work for the over-time rates they are being paid. Accidents are happening on shady side streets while Nero fiddles. Our tax dollars at work.

That Wouldn't Be Right
When I first saw the file name I thought it said "blowing the Burger King"".
Not there is anything wrong with that.

What They Promise
Every two years, like clockwork, freshly elected and re-elected representatives repeat an oath from Article VI, clause 3 of the Constitution.
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."You have to wonder what the likes of Pelosi, Leahy, Clyburn and Reid are thinking during this utterance. They have to say the words but in the conscious belief that the Constitution is elastic, must be the realization that they don't feel bound by the constraints set within. Put as respectfully as possible, many of these politicians have made clear that they guided only by the "need" of constituents, while actually motivated to action by the desire to increase power and remain employed. Effectively, they are lying, by promising to adhere to the Constitution, while aware of the paths built to circumvent same.

Four Years Ago Today
The 110th United States Congress convenes, electing Nancy Pelosi as the first female Speaker of the House in U.S. history.
Four terrible years that may never be undone.
