All That Is Necessary

My Take On Ace Of Spades HQ

I'll say it right up front, my top pick, my favorite blog out there, is Ace Of Spades HQ.  It is not only since I agree with most of what they say, but mostly the way they say it.  They are flat out funny.  Yes, they cover serious stuff, but ace, monty (DOOM), and the other writers have a way with words that most of us just aspire to.

And don't just read the posts!  You HAVE TO GO READ THE COMMENTS!  The comment section is the best out there, period.  Often you will laugh out loud at some comment and the responses it generates.  Make sure you read who writes the comment, too.  (That is a big part of some comments.)

Anyway, if you are fed up with the idiocy, depressed by all the gloom out there, but still want to keep informed and laugh at the same time, check out Ace Of Spades HQ.

P.S.  This is not a paid advertisement for AoS HQ.  I just like the blog and you might, too.  OK? 

So Much Stupidity Today, And I mean JUST today

I haven't even read half my morning blogs and I am already struck by how much stupidity is out there.

1.  Obama urges other countries to drill and produce oil so we can buy it.  Yet he and his EPA will not allow any drilling here in the USA.

2.  Another Afghan "military" officer opens fire and kills 6 NATO troops, yet the military says it just doesn't know what causes this behavior.  They said it was an argument, or something.  Sure. 

3.  Treasury Secretary Geithner says he will continue to defend a strong dollar.  WTF?

4.  A PBS host says the 2012 election will be the most racist ever!  Policies killing our country have nothing to do with those that disagree with Obama, just race.  Sure.

5.  Boehner says he could look at killing some oil company "tax breaks", which his "people" immediately say he didn't mean.  Great negotiating skills there, Boehner!

I could go on, and that is only what I saw in a few minutes.

I need to read some Pollyanna-type stuff.  This is stupidity gets depressing.

No More McDonald's For This Family

I am sure most of you have seen the video of the two black females beating a white female until she goes into convulsions at a McDonald's in Baltimore.  It is on Drudge if you want to go see it at: 

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ec0_1303444048

I refuse to show it directly.  It is disgusting and the actions of the McDonald employees deplorable.

McDonald's released a wholly inadequate statement of concern:

"We are shocked by the video from a Baltimore franchised restaurant showing an assault. This incident is unacceptable, disturbing and troubling. McDonald’s strives to be a safe, welcoming environment for everyone who visits. Nothing is more important to us than the safety of customers and employees in our restaurants. We are working with the franchisee and the local authorities to investigate this matter. We are doing everything possible to make sure the right thing is done."

What a bunch of corporate bull%&$t!

They should have closed the restaurant, fired every employee, revoked the franchise and handed over all info to the police to prosecute not just the two vermin involved in the attack but all the employees that did NOTHING to interfere.  They should have publicly offered to pay ALL medical and rehabilitation costs for the victim.  Instead, we get corporate crap.

I hope the victim sues the HELL out of McDonald's, the franchisee, and employees.  I hope the attackers rot in prison, but we all know that won't happen. 

I have enjoyed McDonald's for decades.  No more.  And, believe me, I can hold a grudge!  Better for our health, too.

 

 

Freakin' Hackers

My computer is "in the shop" again thanks to people who have nothing better to do than to create viruses.  My anti-virus software, supposedly "one of the best" failed again.  Despite my best efforts I could not clean my computer so off it goes.

I am borrowing another family computer in the meantime, but I really miss my own laptop.

I wish nothing but misery on those despicable vermin who create these viruses.  I gets me thinking about the naivete of liberals who think the world will ever be a utopia of peace, love and understanding.  You will always have evil people out there who simply are bad people and delight in causing misery to others. 

Mankind will never change.  Liberals will never learn.

 

The Oscars Were On?

Darn, I missed the Oscars.  I guess I knew they were on but watched HGTV instead.More interesting and learned something about wiring, mold and plumbing.

If there ever was a more useless self-congratulatory party I don't know of it.  The celebrities, most of whom I wouldn't trust to watch after my goldfish, prance about declaring how important and wonderful they are.  Very similar to politicians come to think of it.

 

 

Blue-Eyed People Of The World Unite!

I have read that all people with blue eyes are descended from the same female ancestor somewhere in the Eurasia area about 6,000-10,000 years ago.  Pretty cool.  We're special!  I think all us blue-eyed kin should unite and take over part of the world.  I like the central east coast of the USA.  I already live here and since my eyes are REALLY blue I guess that makes me like a chief, or something.  We can work out the details later.

I don't care what color skin or hair you have - if you have blue eyes your are in!  (No fake blue contacts allowed.)

This should be fun.  So, who has like a billion dollars or so to help me get started on acquiring land?

(Luckily my wife has blue eyes or I wouldn't be writing this.  I'm not stupid.)

WooHoo - Snow in NC!

You can enjoy the snow and the ensuing chaos in mid-North Carolina when your pantry is full and you have plenty of wood for the stove:

Ouch, Ouch, Ouch!

Ran a half-marathon yesterday, hence, the ouch, ouch, ouch today.  Every part of me hurts.

I ran a marathon a year and a half ago and I didn't hurt this bad, but the marathon was flat.  This half-marathon had a LOT of hills.  That might have something to do with it.  Did pretty well, just beating the two hour mark.  Still, I am enjoying the pain.  Not in a a sick, masochistic way, but as a trophy of hard work and determination.

What is nice is seeing all the different types of people out there running.  People actually doing something they never thought they could do.  The looks of triumph through the pain at the finish line were priceless.

I think most people are capable of far more than they think.  My wife is the one who got me training with her for the long runs.  Prior to that I had never run more than 5 miles.  So I can thank, or blame, her.  But it showed me I had more in me than I thought.

So, get out there and do some physical activity that you have always wondered if you could do it.  Odds are you can.  As Nike says, just do it.

Some Laughs Are Needed

I posted this video a year ago.  I figure we could all use a little laugh about now.

 

This husband is a "dead man walking", but I think it was SO worth it.  (From Right Wing Video)

Queen Michelle Obama

I saw in the Chicago paper the reason for the First Wookie's incredibly expensive trip to Spain:

Inside story of Michelle's trip"I'm told she made the trip because she promised one of her closest friends, a longtime Chicago pal who just lost her father, she would spend time with her."......But the reason Mrs. Obama made the trip -- and other facts, not rumors about the travel -- are important in knowing the whole story and understanding why she made the call to go."

Really?!?!?!?!?  Is that all they have?  You have to be kidding me!  (This is Michelle's home town newspaper, so you have to figure they would be favorable to her, but, come on!)

What a load of crap.  She spends millions to travel to an exotic location, stays in a 5-star hotel with 60 of her "best friends", dozens of agents, eats at expensive restaurants, closes down a beach for her private enjoyment, etc., all for her bereaved friend.  What a trooper.  Surprising that this is the first we hear of this poor friend - after she starts to get heat for the totally unnecessary trip.

Couldn't she have taken her friend to Camp David for the weekend?

I think this trip shows the mentality of our new "rulers".
