We've come a long way

It is more than a little disturbing to find that my biggest strength right now comes from the fact that I probably don't have much longer to live.

This was not the outcome I was hoping for but like you, I will try to be as cheerful about it as possi.....Who I kiddin'! I intend to go kicking and screaming to the poorhouse, in fact, I may burn the d*mn thing down once I get there.

Do you think the behavior modification camps will be nice?

I think they'll legalize opium smoking and hand it out free. That'll keep everybody calm. The camps will be too expensive. Who wants to modify OUR behavior anyhow?

The paving with Good Intentions of the Road to Hell is debatable. What is not is that the left wants to use them, not as paving materials, but as a way of funding the Federal Government.

They just want the power to tell everyone else what to do.

Another good one Skep.

I'm old too; and I wonder where the America I knew has gone and how all these commie goons got to be in charge. The welfare state figures large. We have such a sub-culture of gimmee's that the lefties have figured out (long ago) that the lazy, uninformed sloths will vote for them as long as they give them handouts. It can't last forever. We're about at the end of that road. Sadly, the responsible, accomplished of our society will suffer right along with the sloths.

Good work, Skep.

A while back I invited you to my place to see if you wanted to join TH Bloggers outside of TH, our goal to keep each other more informed instantaneously, speak up and speak out where it counts. etc. I guess you missed it because I never heard from you. Just stop by my place & the post is self explanatory. Would love to have you. We need all the conservative voices we can muster.

Hey, Skep

I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving Day. Speaking for myself, I ate too much as usual, this will probably be less of a problem next year. Can I assume you had the traditional California Humus with Granola sprinkles? HaHa!

Did ya' see where our gal Rosie laid an egg? Hasn't she heard that those things will kill you?

She and George Clooney seem intent on destroying your industry all by themselves!

We had a nice Thanksgiving. we went over to my son's house and played with our granddaughter. My mother died this year and we had always observed Thanksgiving by driving to see her in Las Vegas. This is the first time in twenty years or so that we got to stay in town and relax.

Rosie and George are just average residents. The idiots in SAG are talking strike again. Its insane. They're going to do to the film biz what the UAW did to the auto biz. Its nice to see that Rosie's worn a bit thin. She made me like Barbara Walters...

The Hampton gun show was so crowded on Saturday it looked like a Wal-Mart reenactment. Granted, it was very orderly since everybody there is armed to the teeth.

Want to eliminate partisan bickering? Legalize dueling!

I was just rereading the 'Master And Commander' series of books, where there is a lot of dueling. You have to think that it might be a little different with guns that fire as rapidly as you can pull the trigger instead of ones that fire one shot. Most duels would probably take place at high speed on the freeway, although I would be at a huge disadvantage because I have a stick shift and would have to lower my weapon to hold the wheel while the other hand shifts gears. You could send a text message to the car whose bad driving has stirred you to anger, "Sir, I take umbrage at your recent lane change. I demand satisfaction. text apologies immediately or prepare to defend yourself!"

I love the O'Brian books and reread the series just last year. I was on a Napoleonic jag that started with Cornwell's "Sharpe" series, ran through Kent's "Bolitho" series, to Pope's "Lord Ramage" novels and ended at O'Brian.

All those authors treat the "bullocks" very kindly.

Personally, I own several black powder weapons and I am quite proficient in their use. You might want to consider an automatic, preferably with cruise control.

My new read is Meacham's "American Lion" chronicling the life and times of Andrew Jackson, a fine duelist in his own right, and the first truly populist president, but "Ole Hickory" will have to wait until I finish the new Shales book about the Great Depression.

I'm trying to get prepared!

a couple or three weeks ago and caught up on your blogs. Left an invite for you to stop by my place and never heard from you, so checked back in; alas,I return only to find that my comment didn't "take". So I'll invite you again. Come on by.

I love the Sharpe series, and the BBC TV series based on the books. I'll check into 'American Lion' and the Shales book.

Nice story about the IL Gov. being indicted. Do you suppose that whatever constitution provides for an office of president-elect also makes provisions for a special prosecutor-elect?

This administration-elect has already provided some fine entertainment and my forecast is that its only going to get better. I have to confess that I enjoyed the Clinton Administration/ Whorehouse a lot more than the boring wimps in the Bush Administration. Democrats might be tyrants who speak a slimy Orwellian doubletalk but you have to admit they make for better TV than Republicans. Nothing even half this cool happened in eight whole years of Bush. They'll end up chaining Blago next to The Torch Torricelli with the legbolts sunk in a cube of glassified nuclear waste under Yucca Mountain and the media will drop the whole thing...anyway, I've got my associates on the phone, we're going to see how much their charging for Biden's seat. I'm thinking of putting in a bid.

You are right as usual. Democrats are a bloggers dream come true. Let the indictments begin!

I think you should buy the Biden seat. What could it cost? The whole state population is less than Indianapolis so it's more like buying a city council seat.

You could probably buy the whole state provided the Dupont's are willing to sell it to you.

This global warming came close to giving the oranges on my tree frostbite. Last night at 3:30, as I left the digital 3d factory there was ice on my windshield. That's legendary cold for here. I want to see how these Orwellians wiggle out of temperatures visibly going down after all the noise they made. I'm looking forward to Jan 20 when millions of people will show up to touch the hem of The Messiah's garment. I've heard he's riding a donkey down Pennsylvania Avenue!

So what A$$ is he riding in on? Teddy? Chuckie? BAWNEY FWANK?

I think I'll wait and get tickets for the crucification. You know Blago won't keep his mouth shut.

On the subject of "climate change", what you are currently experiencing is what is know as empirical data as opposed to computer modeling.

The eco-idiots just have a lousy sense of timing. Dr. "Evil" Hansen starts beating the freezing drum 5 years into a warming trend and then delays the warming scam until we starting into a cooling cycle.

It's not even a good con. A good con man knows he's a con man. The AGW crowd should have started with freezing again in 1998. They might have pulled it off.


P.S. - I can't believe you passed on writing about Bush on the "kill the free market to save the free market" statement.

I just want Bush to GO! Enough already! I'm getting political shock syndrome from the statements the new guys are making before they take power. They're having a festival of Keynesianism...outbidding each other on the size of the stimulus package like a bunch of speed freaks arguing about how much speed they're going to inject. Its so wrong and they're so piusly certain its right! Its already ballooned into the trillions and the Democrats haven't taken power yet. I'll wait till the New Age arrives to comment instead of wasting my time cursing at the ruins of my country and my party...I don't think even us hardboiled cynics and opponents really grasp how stupid and arrogant these clowns are.
Blago wont matter. Clinton sold missile technology to the Chicoms and it didn't matter. People are completely stupid.

Emjayne, Sarge, Dave

Weirdly enough the end of the year is turning busy for me. The old axiom that if you want a job, get a job is certainly true in my case. I took a grueling night-shift job in a place that is converting 2d films (like 'Ghostbusters') to 3d. Low-paying, tough hours, hard work. Things are so bad around town it seemed like the only option. Thats when the phone started ringing. So not only am I working 40 hrs but I'm picking up free-lance animation work that pays three times as much. Do I quit the low-paying but secure digital sweatshop job to work on the high-paying but completely insecure animation work?

Anyway, thank you guys for wishing me Merry Christmas. I hope you have a great Christmas too! And a Happy New Year...and may Mary and the Saints stand between you and evil in the coming Age Of Caring.
