Elvis and Me

Old Times There Are Not Forgotten ... Francois  ca 2002 Francois just sent me this. There's a back story. Back in the day I had, where my computer desk is now, a million watt stage amplifier, two 40" high stage speakers, assorted mixing equipment, a reverb, electronic drum, a floor mike and an electric gee-tar.  I'd open the windows and serenade passers-by with C-D-F-Em and G rock and roll music like House of the Rising Sun. For some reason nobody called the police.  Francois  is my erstwhile neighbor.  He and wife Evvy were our companions in some of the best times we ever had as adults.  When Frank and I got looped, which was often enough, I'd walk him home so he didn't have to crawl.  Once there however, he had to hold me up so I could get home.  We often solved this circular loop with a couple more beers and some showtime!  At 2 AM.  Frank has a terrific voice, and our favorite, by far, song was this very Elvis tune.  I wish we had recorded it.  But in my mind, it sounds just like this rendition. Thanks Frank!

Gizmos that don't work  Sorry, you'll just have to keep washing your left hand I was tempted to purchase the Woot Deals Sanitizing Wand.  Fortunaately I decise3d to sheck up on it and found this samplong from Amazon The UVC intensity in this Verilux design is so low that for you to truly destroy any microorganisms on a surface you will have to keep it on the surface shining in one spot for over 30 minutes. It does not kill on contact, the intensity of UVC light is too low. In addition, the more you use it, the less UVC is emitted and the bulbs will have to be replaced annually. For you to truly destroy ALL micro organisms (virus, bacteria, mold) on just a pillow surface, you will have to hold the Verilux at every square inch of the pillow for 30 mins at a time. Thus, you would be standing, holding this unit for probably 4-6 hours to truly clean your pillow. You know what's easier, steam cleaning or taking the laundry and washing it. Or using a UVC system design for air treatment installed in your Air Conditioning System. Marketing over hypes the science behind UVC and leads customers to believe in products they shouldn't. This puts a bad name on the UVC products that actually perform, but are priced over $600. I wouldn't waste money on this product or any handheld UVC product. You're welcome

WHAT THIS GUMMINT DOES          TEXT Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall, Which State Has the Highest Food Stamp Usage of All? “ if we reversed the ranking and did a Self-Reliance Index, Virginia, Florida, and Georgia would score in the top 10. Nevada, arguably the nation’s most libertarian state, is the state with the lowest number of non-poor people signed up for welfare. A few quick observations. Why is Vermont (by far) the state with the largest proportion of non-poor people signed up for welfare programs? I have no idea, but maybe this explains why they elect people like Bernie Sanders. But it’s not just Vermont. Four of the top five states on the Moocher Index are from the Northeast, as are six of the top nine. I'd never heard of the (aptly named) Moocher Index.  I found it while walking this trail The food stamp program seems to be a breeding ground of waste, fraud, and abuse. Some of the horror stories I’ve shared include: Using food stamps to buy luxury coffee at Starbucks. Buying steaks and lobster with food stamps. The Obama Administration rewarding states that sign up more food stamp recipients. Proposals to make it easier to use food stamps at fast food restaurants. College kids scamming the program for handouts. New York City giving food stamps to newly released prisoners and running foreign-language ads encouraging more people to sign up for the program. The Octo-Mom mooching off the food stamp program. The Agriculture Department running radio ads to lure more people into food stamp dependency. With stories like this, I’m surprised my head didn’t explode during this debate I did on Larry Kudlow’s show. So exactly how bad is the food stamp program? (Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall continued) ”

Albino Hummer

Catharsis   Morning Hummers (Samurai AG) Teresa from Virginia sent me this story from her neck of the woods. Rather than individually copy each of her pictures I found this slide-show on Puffington Host. There I found something even more fantastic than an Albino Hummingbird - a Hummingbird in Chicago in Winter time!

Broadside Against Entire Republican Establishment

We Have Come to Bury Caesar Brent Bozell Levels Broadside Against Entire Republican Establishment “ I postulate that with some quibble room a person's character is pretty much set by age 7.  So it is a certainty that when an adult tells a black lie, that person is a liar who cannot ever be trusted with telling the truth ever again, except maybe on the death bed.  L Brent Bozell understands that. “ "John Boehner, Eric Cantor, and Kevin McCarthy, you said all the right things to conservatives to propel the GOP back to the majority and you to the top three leadership positions in the House. You, like virtually every single other Republican elected to Congress solemnly vowed to rid us of Obamacare, which you can do simply by refusing to fund it. Why haven't you done so?" Bozell asked, charging that the House GOP leadership has "done nothing for over two years but give us excuses and more commitments that tomorrow, yes tomorrow, you'll honor your promises." [full] ” Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault; And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it. - Marc Antony's Funeral Oration On Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, Bozell said, "You ran, and won as a fiscal conservative. You leave punishing Virginia with the largest tax increase in history. I wish we'd never elected you. Do you have national aspirations? Sorry my friend, forget them." On Karl Rove's efforts to begin working to recruit primary candidates, Bozell warned "the last thing the GOP needs is for the anti-conservative professional political consultant class infecting its ranks. And the last thing we conservatives want is them infiltrating ours. A weak character will crumble when forced to choose it over ambition.  10,000 words about what is it then that causes us to continue electing liars and weak character canker blossoms?  Answer: Two possibilities We are a nation too lazy to pay attention We are of poor character ourselves Aside: This thought kind of startles me too. If all elected Democrats are liars, and they manifestly are, the lone person with any honesty is Obama.  Think about it.  He is an unwavering socialist doctrinaire whose speeches—available for all to view on YouTube— have seen him unwaveringly promise to destroy the coal industry, impose a socialist state,  pay reparations for slavery, including appointing a court with like minded people, etc.  Having thus staked out his vision, he has no problem with telling the lies and falsehoods necessary to achieve his goals.  No different than Lenin and Stalin; or Hitler and Satan.  ”

'Striking Resemblance' “ Yesterday morning MoSup watched CBS Sunday Morning while I did the crossword puzzle.  The segemt  Making TV's "The Bible" was playing.  I happened to look at the screen just when that Obama-Satan seg was showing, and I said "Whoa, back that up!"  MoSup asked why and I said "because Satan is a spitting image of Obama.  "Oh will you stop," she replied,  and ignored my request.  I just e-mailed her this.  Yes, the Devil in the TV shoaw The Bible does bear a striking resemblance to Obama.  Coveresely,  Obama bears a striking  resemblance to Satan in thought and deed, and for all I know image. ”

GREEN CRAP We Stand By It as a Theatrical Work Obama Halts Global Warming by Executive Order  Climategate 3.0 has occurred – the password has been released (Do not try this unless you are certified AWG Expert)   It's been 45 years since Paul R. Ehrlich invented anthropogenic (man made) climate change (ACC) from greenhouse gases in 1968. Then it was the Global Cooling excitemet.  Since then it would be easier to count the number of illegal votes cast for Obama in 2012 (just enough)  than to count the number of times that shibboleth has been scientifically debunked. Yet it lives on? The fall of Soviet Union communism in 1989 had a lot to do with that. Out of work commies scurried to find a new base, Climate change was ideal. Convince the world that ACC spelled DOOM and they'll fund world government with cash to buy necessary political control  and live the privileged life to which they were accustomed. . For those reasons then I propose that the climate change battlefield manifestly explains what has gone wrong with everything in today's world (meaning the USA).  Specifically: The lie— ... embraced by the controlling media Goliath (CMG) that are newspapers, television news and  Hollywood— ... who choose to discuss one side of the issue, thereby validating it in public minds— ... and using ridicule (e.g. "deniers") to pigeonhole enemies as  mindless cranks and paid witnesses— ... and ignoring all data that unmasks the climate poseurs.  A tree felled that nobody hears. Wait,  It seems I've done nothing here but distill Alinsky.  Which is why that formula works to also explain the the puzzling Obama enigma, the Mexican invasion, free style voting, West Wing, Clinton cultists, etc.  It's all summed up rather nicely in this video Mr. Smith sent me. Climate Change—hell, everything—is explained in this interpretive dance (funded no doubt by the National Endowment for the Arts).  Enjoy. Learn.

Millenium Trilogy

At The Cinema                            Dragon Tattoo Trilogy: Extended Edition This has been floating on my Netflix page for some time.  While I thoroughly enjoyed  The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, just a few years ago, I wasn't up to watching a compilation.  But then I did.  Just to see if it looked any different.  Was it a Godfather Trilogy diamond, or a Police Academy 5,6 & 7 stinker? What it looked like was I had  forgotten about half the movie.  Which was kind of nice  because it was like mostly a  new film. But not so nice, because it meant I had Alzheimer's.   Finally it became too much; and I had to investigate.  I don't have Alzheimer's.  “ Each episode of the series is about 90 minutes long, which makes the television series about 110 minutes longer than the movies, with more depth in both the stories and the characters. [Wiki] ” Whew! If you liked the first three, you like this just as much, probably  more.  You're welcome.

Yeah, but they're serial liars

What the Democrat Party Told Me by Doug Ross “ They told me that allowing law-abiding citizens to carry concealed weapons would turn our streets into rivers of blood. They told me that taking trillions of dollars from the successful and giving it to those "who truly needed it" would cure poverty. They told me that giving home loans to those who couldn't afford them would make the American dream achievable for all. They told me that paying into the Social Security "Trust Fund" would guarantee a comfortable retirement for everyone. They told me that allowing teachers to unionize in public schools would help inner city students reach for the stars. They told me that the federal government could run a guaranteed, affordable health care program for seniors forever. They told me that the new employment paradigm consisted of millions of "green jobs". They told me that their support for immoral and criminal behavior wouldn't result in the breakdown of the two-parent family. They told me that spending trillions on Stimulus programs would heal a damaged economy. They told me that ... [HERE] smsbd ”

Flew against Japs at Pearl Harbor

Our Privilege to meet him too Chris.  Even Vicariously. This man is a friend of the family of my girlfriend. He was one of the few pilots who got into the air to try to repel the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor. He was as sharp of mind as anyone there. He tells some seriously off color jokes too. Funny as heck. It was a huge honor to meet him. --Chris
