Huh? Did I miss sumthin'.....

Will Rogers said, “If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.”

Obama could take some advice from Old Will....Heck! At this point in time, Obama could take some advice from darn near anyone ‘n he’d do better than he is right now..
‘course, Obama has a monster ego....Shoot, he wrote two autobiographical memoirs before he was thirty years old...could be that a lot of our problems in this old US of A is that we common folk just don’t understand his vision of what we’re supposed to be....I mean, he keeps talking ‘n explaining ‘n I find m’self scratching my head ‘n saying “Huh?”

Innarestin’ juxtaposition in t’days Bee....Paul Krugman sneering at tax cuts for the wealthy ‘n Barbara Boxer explaining how tax breaks for small bizness will help the economy.....

During the famous ‘Run for the rose garden’ that saw a historic ‘first’....the election of ‘a black man’ to the Presidency, I kept telling liberal friends ‘n fam’ly members that Obama was a liar....The universal response to that allegation was, “George Bush lied!” or “Bush ‘n Cheney lied us into the Iraq war.” I pointed out that those allegations were unproven and that, indeed, the Democrats controlled the House ‘n the Senate ‘n there were enough enemies of Bush ‘n Cheney to impeach both of them...ah, if only the allegations could be proven.....
Didn’t make any difference to the raving mob however, the blood-lust was upon them....
Now, to quote that poor, stupid, really, really dumb cow of a traitor to womanhood, that pathetic piece of Alaskan trash that had the temerity to actually run for the office of vice-President, Ms Sarah Palin, “How’s that hope ‘n change workin’ out for ya?”
Obama lied during his run for the Presidency ‘n he has lied as President. He seems almost pathological about it, lying in the face of proof.
One of his lies during his run was about taxes....Poor people weren’t going to have to pay taxes. Only the rich would be taxed. No one, no family that earned less than 250 thousand dollars a year would see a tax increase...
Sixteen days into his Presidency, he broke that promise.
He has spent more money than the treasury has, he has spent more money than the country is able to borrow ‘n he evidently sees no reason to slow his rate of spending just because the USA is approaching bankruptcy. It’s almost as though that has been the intention from the very beginning.
He has deliberatly dragged his feet throughout the ordeal of the BP oil spill ‘n he’s refusing to do anything about our illegal immigration policy.
Obama is a big fan of unions ‘n union policy. I worked for a few years at the Roseville Rail Yard. Railroad unions are forbidden by federal law from striking without permission. Work slowdowns are also prohibited ‘n can result if being fired. One of the engineers (nameless, of course) advised me that they didn’t have to strike or organize a slowdown, all they had to do was follow the book of union rules concerning their particular job ‘n the trains simply would not run. I personally saw this self-same engineer sit on an engine for twelve hours without ever moving the train so much as a foot. The previous engineer on that train had done exactly the same ‘n the engineer that followed did the same for 3 or 4 hours until the Southern Pacific ceded the point, at which time the train left the yard in less than five minutes.
I think that’s exactly what the Obama administration has been doing during the BP oil spill in order to make a political point about the dangers of drilling for oil in America. Of course, Obama doesn’t have a problem with loaning taxpayer monies to a George Soros company that wants to drill for oil off the coast of Brazil......I’m just sayin’........

Gettin' old ain't for wusses (pt.2)..update..

I ain't at all sure what exactly happened 'cause I'm getting all this 2nd hand (maybe 3rd hand) but it seems that when the Deacon got into it with the State Trooper 'n got hisself transported to the Greenup County Gaol where a minor disagreement with the Gaoler ensued, somebody called in one of them liberal people-person to question his 'state of mind'.....which resulted in the Deacon being placed on a 72 hour hold in the Greenup County think tank...after 3 days of prison food, his blood sugar was way out of whack (actually illegal in most of the country) 'n his blood pressure was on a deep space mission, all of which resulted in a week long stay in an actual hospital....Boy, I'll tell'ya, life may not be easier when you're young, but it don't hurt as much....

Gettin' old ain't for wusses (pt.2)......

So, the Deacon went t’jail....it seems that he had a little contretemp with a couple diputatious neighbors, Ratliff ‘n Hunt, one of whom threatened to ‘kick his ass’...well, the disputatious neighbor is a young man in his thirties ‘n the Deacon is almost seventy...I ain’t saying that the young man is stupid for threatening a much older man but obviously he ain’t the brightest bulb in the string cuz when old guys get too old to fist-fight, they tend to seek out a little help from Smith and/or Wesson....or maybe, Col. Colt or one of them fellows...Will Rogers said that you should never slap a man who’s chewing tobacco ‘n that’s a lesson usually learned in the school of hard knocks (life experience for the younger set)....anyways, it seems t’be an on-going feud ‘n I would’a tho’t that the Deacon ‘ud know better than to argy with boneheads but y’never know when it comes to old guys...sometimes, y’just get lost in that time-space continium thing ‘n somebody pushes a button ‘n you’re off ‘n running without knowing why...

Gettin’ old ain’t for wusses.....

Went to a fam'ly reunion over the Fourth...had fun but seemed like all the kids are getting older...not sure how that happened but as I always say, "Time flies whether you have fun or not!"....All the kids are middle-aged now 'n all of their kidz were really cute 'n we enjoyed the day a lot but when one of the kids ('n I ain't sayin' who it was) packed up 'n left the picnic to go home 'n take her grannynap....ah well, gettin' old ain't for wusses.....
Went t’see the eye doc t’day....met an affable couple in the waiting room who live in Sun City...told us how nice it was to live with people their own age, then told us that eleven people on their block died last week....guess ev’ry paradise has its drawbacks.....
Anyways, back to the eye doc, a couple weeks ago, Doctor T gave me a steroid shot in the old eyeball to reduce some swelling...that was the 2nd time I had ‘THE SHOT’ and it wasn’t quite as scary as it was the first time...it don’t really hurt, y’know, it’s more the tho’t of the thing, eye open wide, the needle coming in, etcetera....well, it knocked the swelling down ‘n improved the vision in my right eye last year, so this year we did it again....it knocked the swelling down just like last year but with a kicker...this time the steroids worked like a vitamin B12 shot for the cataract that has been lurking therein....so, in a few weeks I get t’go see the other eye doc to find out when they’re gonna cut the cataract out....
I swear, if it ain’t one thing, it’s the other.....

The future ain't carved in stone.....

The ‘Federal Guvmint’ is suing the sovreign State of Arizona for passing a law to protect their border from an unwarranted ‘n unwanted invasion from Mexico. The reasons given for this lawsuit is that the protection of the border is Federal responsibility ‘n Arizona doesn’t have the right to enforce federal law that the federal guv’mint don’t want enforced anyway....’n of course, enforcement of the Arizona law might lead to racial profiling even tho’ the Arizona law absolutely forbids it.... course, one of the problems is that the Federal Government under the Obama Administration has refused for unstated reasons to enforce the Federal Law regarding border security thereby forcing the State of Arizona to live with what is increasingly an armed invasion from the country of Mexico...Our enlightened government seems to be against curtailing this invasion much as they seem to be against the State of Israel protecting themselves from the armed invasion of Arabs who have vowed to destroy Israel. Now, I’m not saying the invading Mexicans actually want to destroy the state of Arizona as the Muslim world seeks the destruction of Israel...Nah! First, y’got an awful lot of citizens of Mexico just trying to flee the war zone of the border states in Mexico...plus, even with our failing economy (thanx in large part to Obama’s mgmt) there is still more opportunity in North America than south of the border down Mexico way...’n of course, there is always the possibility that if they get up here ahead of immigration reform, why they’ll just get assimilated ‘n become good little Democrats...
which may well be the whole basis of the Obama Theorem! .....ah well, knowing the past is helpful in predicting the future but it ain’t carved in stone....

Et tu, Brute.....

Y’know, the tax ‘n spend liberals don’t really have a clue...Paul Krugman just published an article favoring extended unemployment benefits ‘n damning conservatives for being against it....”It’s a good thing” he says, unconsciously quoting Martha Stewart, I suppose...’n of course, unemployment benefits are a good thing, at least they’ve been a good thing for as long as I c’n remember...but the fact is, that unemployment benefits were able to be paid only because workers were taxed by the government....in essence, the worker paid for his (or her) own benefits while working....A good thing, because as ‘worker bees’ we didn’t have the necessary smarts to save some of our own money for the lean times so the elite ‘know betters’ did it for us....and in the ebb ‘n flow of normal times, the system worked wonderfully...well, it worked wonderfully for some, not so wonderful for others but it worked....now, however, it ain’t normal times...now, it’s another ‘great’ depression....’n I say great depression becuz that’s what it is becoming with all our government help...that’s exactly how the last great depression got to be a ‘great’ depression also...with a lot of government help...the elitist liberals still tout FDR as a great president ‘n in years to come, I spect they’ll tout Barry Obama as a ‘great’ president but the truth of the matter is that all FDR did was play the ancient Roman game of ‘bread ‘n circuses’ for the mob ‘n that’s pretty much what ‘bama is doing as well...
that’s prob’ly what’s behind his ‘immigration policy’ as well...create a mob, give ‘em welfare (healthcare ‘n unemployment benefits paid for by someone else) ‘n make ‘em all Democrats that’ll keep Obama ‘n his posse in power, a twentyfirst century Caesar, f’sure, f’sure.....

Yankee Doodle.....

Back in the valley heat again, back from the weekend travails...the annual Fourth of July fam’ly reunion in Santa Rosa, begun by ‘n perpetrated to this very day by J.P.Polen who yet wears his ‘70’s pornstar ‘stache ‘n does it with great panache if I do say so ‘n I do say so m’self ‘cuz it’s my blog....anyways a great time was had by all...
or so they all professed ‘n I for one choose to believe ‘em....Spring Lake is a good place to spend the 4th of July even if the ol swimming hole is polluted by those damn Canadian geese...didn’t seem to bother the kidz but I’m old ‘n of fragile health ‘n temperament ‘n just ain’t into flirting with some unknown illegal immigrant infection...See, historically we’ve never ever dealt with an infestation of geese...former generations of Americans use’ta shoot ‘em ‘n eat ‘em...’course, the geese knew that ‘n didn’t stick around but t’day, they’re enjoying the protection of various ‘n sundry governments ‘n the simpleminded teevee generation that grew up watching Flipper, etcetera....
Anyways, here’s another quote from Mr. Rogers (Will, not the sweater ‘n sneakers guy)....”Good judgment comes from experience ‘n a lot of that comes from bad judgment.” Maybe that’s why so many liberal dems keep talking about Jerry Brown...
his judgment during his governorship was so bad that you can trace most of Californias fiscal problems directly back to his administration. You can look it up.
