Where was their outrage before?

I continue to be amazed by the "Arab outrage" we see being displayed via various news sources from around the world about Israel's retaliatory bombing of terrorists' enclaves and sites in the Gaza Strip. Wonder where was this "Arab outrage" for all the rocket launches, suicide bombings and murders, of Jews and fellow Muslims, over the decades?

Voter turnout disappointing

New data just released today reveals a much smaller number of voters than was anticipated. Total voter numbers were up over 2004 but were no where close to the expected record numbers. As the analysis shows, it seems many Republicans stayed at home instead of voting, or simply didn't cast a presidential ballot because the mainstream press had convinced them that Obama could not possibly lose. If the voters continue to be manipulated by our left agenda press, does it scare you as much as it does me what the press will do to convince these same weak willed and under informed voters about Obama's actual governing plan? Are you old enough to remember Cuba, circa 1958? Wake up, America. Investigate, learn what's real and what's hype, get involved, and get on the horn to your elected officials NOW to insist they govern for the good of the country and not at the whim of the Far Left, as is already clearly starting to show up. The Looney Left thinks this election win for Obama is a voter mandate for all they want done. Gay marriage, unrestricted abortions, legalized drugs, open borders, cowering to our enemies as we dismantle our military and soon, you'll see, much bowing and accommodating of the Islamist horde getting ready to join the fun here now that the Left got its way.

"O" man or "Wo" man in '12?

Isn't it extraordinary that Sarah Palin is getting more attention from the press, the Looney Left, Democrats in general, and pseudo Republicans after Obama won the election last week? Also isn't it interesting how vile and mean spirited that attacks on her continue to be from all the bomb throwers. As I surmised sometime back, I think many politicians are VERY afraid of a genuine proper Republican running for President next time. She may not end up being that candidate, but I sure be she's pointing the way. Agree or not?

Obama "the centrist"???

Isn't it interesting that Barack Obama "the centrist" is suddenly surrounded by the likes of Rahm Emanuel, Louis Farrakan, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, etc.? Wonder what kind of centrist view they'll bring to the meetings they'll surely attend?

How long will it take?

I am hopeful that Barack O' will govern from the center, but I think I like almost everyone I know other than the most delusional of his supporters think this will not happen. If that feeling is accurate, I'm betting it will be only a matter of months until we see these issues on our radar:

1. Repartation - if the radical Congress has the courage to pass it, I guarantee you Barack will sign it.

2. Illegal aliens legalized - 15 to 20 million new Democrats in the wings and waiting, 15 to 20 million new Democrats swelling the roles of the underinsured and undereducated, and by the way, all this and more will be covered for them, at the expense of the rest of us.

3. The shrinking of our military and the lessening of our ability to protect ourselves from our enemies - this may be slowed down somewhat by Obama learning more about the true threats to our country now that he has access to all the intelligence about same.

4. Spreading the wealth - that wasn't a slip of the tongue. This guy was raised as a Socialist/Marxist, and those true colors will become abundantly clear in short order after he takes office.

5. A spending spree of unimaginable scope - remember, the Democrazies power base is strongly dependent upon those who benefit from it most - the hands-out brigade.

I hope I'm wrong on all counts, but I doubt it. What say you?

The bailouts must end - NOW!

The bailouts must end - NOW! In a capitalistic society which we still purport to be the success or failure of a business falls squarely on the shoulders of its proprietors. Do the right thing, and you succeed. Do the wrong thing, and you fail. Where in our U.S. Constitution does it say that We The People have to pay for the mistakes of idiots and greed mongers? Then there's the laughable contention that our elected officials in Washington have answers to our current economic woes. I'm 61 years old as I write this; let me assure you that in my lifetime all attempts by Congress to "help" our economy have inevitably failed miserably. And if you think this tinkering has been bad in recent weeks, just wait until after January 20, 2009 when the Democrazies will have total control of two of our three governing branches. All of us had better start demanding that Congress immediately quit tinkering with our economy. If you're looking for a good resource to bookmark and use to contact the DC crowd, you might want to visit first gov.org.

The fear of the Left

It is extraordinary to me that the Left and its mainstream media cohorts continue their relentless attacks against Sarah Palin. I am thoroughly convinced she scares the dickens out of them, and I think they doubt they can beat her somewhere down the road as she again seeks high office. What's your view?

Sarah Palin is surely a perfect pick for VP

Why do I say that? It's obvious, isn't it. I can seldom if ever recall a candidate that the Democrazies, Far Left bloggers, and mainstream media spent so much effort, so soon, and so relentlessly to discredit. I think they are VERY afraid.

Sort of like parking the Space Shuttle, but different

So I am trying to get ready for a prostate biopsy. One must, at least two hours before the event, give oneself a Fleet Enema. Now I don't know about you, but I have no experience with such things. So I am reading the instructions trying to determine how to administer this beast. And follow those instructions for how to self administer the Fleet Enema I did ... beings how I was home alone at the time and all ... though frankly I don't think my wife would have been terribly willing to help with the administration of the enema.

Anyway, as I am getting into the appropriate position, then applying the bottle to its intended target, it came to me - the perfect analogy to explain to the uninformed how one self-administers a Fleet Enema. Here it is. Imagine you are piloting the Space Shuttle and you're about to attempt a docking maneuver with the International Space Station. Only this time, just to make it interesting, Ground Control has ordered you to turn 180 degrees from the windshield, place your ass up against the windshield, drop your head down into the seat, look back between your legs, and hit the docking point that way. I hope this clears that up for you, should you ever have to experience the same thing.

It was a comforting sight

So I am sitting in the exam room waiting for my urologist to come in so we can discuss my ol' guy prostate issues. I glance at the stainless steel cabinet against the wall and notice the one, and only one, box of latex gloves in the exam room - Size Small. Do you realize how comforting such a simple label can be? And to think, he could have turned out to be a retired NBA player!

NY Times to the rescue

Thank you, NY Times. Just when you think the Democrazies might actually pull it off, who but the good ol', "unbiased" NY Times does a slam piece on John McCain, and voila, just like magic, delivers 20 million or so extra voters into his camp.

The saga of the prostate - part next

So I was standing in the men's club lounge, aka the john, minding my own business, head leaned against my left arm, left arm up against the wall, the same wall to which the knee-to-chest collection device was attached, eyes mostly closed, concentrating REAL hard as ol' codgers my age are want to do, and had been in this pose for some time. In walks one of our too many youngsters at the office, intent on completing the same chore I'm struggling with. Well, he finishes his business in about 12 seconds as 20 somethings often do, then he turns to me and says, "Are you starting or finishing?" To which I smartly and accurately retort, "I CANNOT TELL!" He found himself suddenly speechless.

Damn, Mitt!

Well, color me surprised. What the heck? It's going to take me awhile to sort through today's news. Maybe a write-in candidate will suit my mood this November, 'cause I'm sure not happy (yet) about who's still standing.

"It is what it is."

"It is what it is." Are you as sick and damn tired of this bullshit saying as I? I heard it for the umpthousandth time this afternoon as some junior underlings were pow-wowing about some meaningless piece of corporate emergency of the second. It is always stated when a point of contention or disagreement comes up - a point, issue, opinion or mandate often from someone on high. It is a substitute for courage and the willingness to fight for what you believe - a substitute used far too often in today's world, particularly in business climates, and it is almost always the fall-back response of the myriad collection of spineless drones occupying middle management in most businesses today. You can feel it coming, as the jihadist hords descend on our country somewhere down the road after we've surrendered our souls to the Democrazies ... that portion of the population, dressed in their robes and burkas, quietly discussing their status, and opining, "It is what it is." What a bunch of wussies!

A cosmic impossibility

I am, beyond a shadow of a doubt, sure of this absolute fact: It is a cosmic impossibility to put on an older pair of jeans, which happen to have a hole of virtually any size on or near the knee area of said jeans, without always first thrusting your big toe through said hole with your first and, often, with subsequent attempts. About the only way to get around this perplexing problem, at least at my age, is to sit down in the nearest chair and carefully aim away from said hole - and yes, this sometimes means finding reading glasses so as to not waste more attempts!
