It is the season. I'm a little melancholy for past years. The last few years I've spent Thanksgiving at a bar while doing laundry. This particular bar puts on a great spread and it's for anyone who has no place to go. I would go and not eat but just drink and was happy others partook of the feast. That brings me to a story with no particular rhyme or purpose. The three legged turkey. Now this happened long ago in my youth, the year perhaps 1960. Surely a different time in many ways. Back then where I grew up there was a grocery store on the corner of every block. That's where my mother bought our turkey of that year. As you might guessed I was pretty young so it's from faded memory that I recall the events of that thanksgiving. While I was out playing my mother was preparing the Turkey she had purchased the previous day from the butcher. Now you have to understand my mother was not the sharpest knife in the kitchen. As she was washing the bird she oddly noticed that she seemed to be washing the legs an awful lot. She kept spinning the fowl in a perpetual state of confusion. It took probably five minutes before the light came on "Hey sumpten's not right". She figured it out, an extra leg. The following is a very short version of events that followed. She told my sister, my sister told my older brother who then called his soon to be wife. The kids decided to call it in to a radio station. My mother was to shy to talk on air. They got my brother's future wife to ask her mother to pretend that she was our mother for the interview that was to ensue. With a heavy Italian accent she gave a in depth report to the local DJ as to the miraculous bird. Due to her heavy accent I'm not sure how many people understood the going's on. Within about an hour from air time we received a call from the AP. Twenty minutes elapsed when the three local TV stations all converged on our house. Six hours later with a turkey that never had a chance and a house full of hungry kids we tried to feast. There were cameras and lights every where and a house of strangers watching. Being the youngest one there the third leg once emancipated from said carcass was mine. My picture was taken with the distinguished bird for all the nation to see. It was cold and really not worth the wait. But you know what the memories were. Happy Thanksgiving!

Greetings

Ha! I used to hate that phrase via mail back in the 60s. "You no draft board". Now we have a volunteer force and that's wonderful. What more do we expect from our Troops, some have had 3,4 and more tours of duty. Now I hear Obama is going to send in 30,000 plus more to fight in Afghanistan. While I don't agree with that and wish all our people in service were home, I have to say "What the Fuck". What the hell more do you expect from them. Ok since we are a War loving Country and just love to send Volunteers to do things we would never consider doing for ourselves. Why don't we enact the draft once more and this time no deferments (Dick Cheny) And Tancredo the slime. No this time all go, not just poor and Blacks. All! See how long that would last. Maybe that would kick some sense into our collective heads. For as long as I can remember it's always been old men send young men to fight. Perhaps old Men should just shut up and go away. And the Right, God bless them with their chest out and swagger saying you got to do what the Generals say we should. Not! Read some fucking History you pathetic excuse for humans. Go back to reading Palin's book of Nod where you belong. What I'm trying to say is your breaking our Military. You want war, Pay for it with a war tax and a draft so you have to do some of the heavy lift.
God bless America!

Kill Bill

Yeah I said it! They should kill the health reform bill now. I'm not one of those who have health insurance and don't want others to have it too. In fact my wife and I have no insurance and couldn't buy it even we had money to. Pre- existing conditions! The Dems have watered down this bill to where now it's doing the same thing it did to wall street. It's going to make insurance company's even richer, just like AIG and the rest off the bastards. The only thing of some value in it is the public option which is just a shell of what it started out to be. This deal with the devil will just put the last nail in our collective coffin.
What a shame, how embarrassing . We have the balls and try to tell other country's how to manage and grow their land. What a laugh! Tell you what when we finally fix New Orleans then we'll talk about other countries. By God we are a war mongering people and seem to be for all our past success, not quit civilized. Term limits, public finance for politics. Oh yeah through all the two face hacks out, both party's. Until we stop politicians from being bought this country is doomed.

Talking points

Who the hell do you think comes up with the talking points of the week? Lets see, try to come up with the scariest phrase or key word that you can. We will scare them to death so it clouds reasonable thought. Hmmm been lots of reports of Rape in the last few weeks and of course people are thinking about it in their inner thoughts. I wonder if these right wing assholes either know of someone who was and or have been themselves. I Know of many! Don't use that word promoting your brand of hate and fear. You people should be ashamed, if you had any decency left, you would. Again I ask, who is the king of fear and who is the real terrorist that comes up with the flavor of the week.

Talking Points

Bow Wow

Have you ever heard so much shit about a Bow in your life. I'll say one thing the rest of the world probably waits on pins and needles waiting to hear what nonsense we Americans come up with next. I'm sure they at least get a chuckle. OMG the president showed proper respect to a leader of another country and gestured in a way that is custom. We finally have a president we are pretty sure he won't embarrass us to much. You know like First Bush loosing his cookies at a dinner in his honor in Japan. Oh yeah like W walking hand in hand with Prince Aba daba do in Saudi. And when he kissed him I felt for sure don't ask don't tell was a thing of the past. How about the Master of disaster Ford or like we used to call him Mr. Bungles. I was always worried that charming Bill Clinton would be caught in some kind of compromising position comparing heads of state so to speak.
What an uproar from the far right,How wrong could they be. You got them toe suckers on fix noise in a dizzy. Cheney both Dick and Jiz in a complete lather over this. Dickie who said HE would never bend over(hell he couldn't if he wanted to). Dick hasn't seen his Dick for years now.
On a good note Jiz has seen hers though. Bend over and Bow, what the fuck we've been bending over and grabbing our ankles for years now over OIL. For all the Money we owe China we better respect these people. Next rant we be on this bullshit of us all being Raped by Obama. Stay Tuned.

What If

There's approximately 301 million people in the USA. I hear there's 280 billion tarp dollars that there trying to figure out what to do with. What if they gave each person that's a American citizen one million dollars each. Talk about stimulating the Economy, Good grief Batman! Ahh a boy can dream. Imagine what you would do with it.

Forgoten

I don't know why we seem to forget the past and or rewrite it to suit our needs. I've been waiting for Obama to put in motion something we did that works during the 30s. He has not. To my mind we have to put people to work, it's as simple as that. I'm talking CCCs or Civilian Conservation Cor. Oh sure we got wall street on top of the world again. Yeah and their fucking us all over again. It's the people who need a new deal now. Sound familiar? I remember my Father talking with such pride as he and many others were part of this extraordinary experiment. He used to show me some of the work they did around this part of the USA and was so proud. I think they got like a dollar a day and were glad to get it. He would marvel at the way good food and hard work carved him into a man. All these guys were filled with hope. Their Gov.cared. Finally they had worth. WE wonder how we had such a magnificent fighting force in WWII, it's because they went from the CCCs to Training camps.
I was hoping for a miracle when we elected Obama. Let's put our people to work. Don't you think our Vets returning home would love to help others train and help our Environment as well. I can write on this subject for hours. I'm just saying we piss away all this money and don't have a God Damn thing to show for it. We have a obligation to do the right thing..but we won't! Say Goodbye to America as it once was.

LOT's to talk about

Fort Hood, Obviously a terrible awful thing. What burns my ass in addition to what happened is so called experts opining on the happenings of that day. They couldn't get any facts straight while it was happening and they can't now. These so called news stations are a fountain of misinformation. They bring forth so called experts to give us the mind set of the murderer and give us all kinds of so called insights. Just shut your fucking pie holes. You'll have plenty of opportunities to get your face on TV. So he was a Muslim, so fucking what. He's a nut! Stop it already and buck up, wait till the investigation is complete, report on facts and fuck your opinion. They bring out Dinosaur's like VanZant or something that sounds like that. Give em a cookie and send him home. They did the same shit about balloon boy. For Christ sake stop it already. I once had hopes for CNN when it was new. Then came Dobbs and fuck me. Please news people let the facts come out and keep your opinions to FOX.

Let's talk schools

I like to try and come up with ways of solving problems and not just bitch about them.
So here goes, Our schools for the most part suck. Kids are just pushed through or out to make room for more losers. We lost our way in how we educate. I don't care how much money you through at the problem of education it's never going to be enough. The cost of the buildings, grounds, buses, maintenance, janitorial,teachers and lest we forget administration. Staggering! Will never have enough money and most important the results of said money and effort give us failing results. So here's my idea! Do away with how we do it now. Think about it! Use buildings that are now not for profit and churches and all the other places that don't pay taxes. Kind of a one room school house idea again but very High tech. Utilize the best teachers to reach thousands of kids via computers. Every kid could have their own. Instead pricey teachers, aids that just maintain order. You want to spend money, spend it on nutritious meals to help with both mind and body. Yano for once all kids could have the same opportunity's be they rich or poor. No more busing, no more busy work. Kids would come first instead of a paycheck. As for as organized sports, fine do that separate from school or as we used to say to our kids"go play". In my opinion which is the only one that really counts, it's a win win! Again if you would like to discuss it contact me. We got to do something even on a small scale as a test.

Lieberman

DROOPY DOG

Irony

So Mel had on the tube and while I was practicing guitar I heard what seemed to be a familiar voice although lying through his teeth. I looked up and it was that sack of shit lying turncoat fuck me in the ass Joe Lieberman. To my amazement I could have sworn it was Droopy from old cartoons of my youth. And Now and forever more my memories of droopy are ruined! DAMN YOU JOE "stab in the back" Lieberman. Ohh and by the way he said we should put off Health Care reform cause it's not that important and we should work on the economy first. What's 45,000 people give or take. Wonder if that's what Hitler thought! Some Jew he is huh!

Slow Boil

I'm sitting here on the couch not really thinking of all the talking assholes on Sunday morning "I'm so smart TV". Not thinking of the bullshit they spew. No actually I'm thinking of a movie I saw back in the early seventies called the Candidate with Redford. I've only seen it once and that was at the movies so it was a while ago. What stands out in my memory is the end scene when Redford as the winning candidate get hit with reality. The weight of the campaign being over hits him like an anvil. He looks to his Manager while everyone around is celebrating. He says in a very subdued voice, "what do we do Now". I can't help drawing a direct comparison to our President. I can't help but wonder if he's lost. Where is the leadership we voted for, that sense of a vision of what's right. The direction that He knows the way. I don't see it yet. I want to so much believe in him. I think things are clear for me and I can't understand why their not for Him. Simply put DO THE RIGHT THING. Get politics out of the mix. If nothing else think what would Roosevelt Do. Ahh Christ time for a beer.
