Once again the voters in CA have decided to fix our state's out of control spending by volunteering to pay higher taxes.
Prop 30 passed 53.9% to 46.1%.
Yep, the voters in CA once again spun the cylinder, but the barrel to our heads and pulled the trigger. Did the gun go off? We'll let you know...

Recent Headlines on the Drudge Report:
Yep. The Country is in the very best of hands. The war in Afghanistan is going to hell in a handbasket. The people we are protecting are protesting and killing our troops. We are actually holding peace talks with the organization who attacked us on 9-11. Excuse me for a moment -
WE ARE HOLDING PEACE TALKS WITH THE FREAKING TALIBAN??????????
WHY ARE WE NOT KILLING THEM EVERY PLACE AND TIME THAT WE FIND THEM????
Ok, I'm better now...
No wait - I've got one more -
IF THE TALIBAN HAS CEASED PEACE TALKS - WHY ARE WE NOT KILLING THEM?????
ALL OF THEM!!!!!
Ok, lets try this again.
But with all this - our president's main concern is his NCAA basketball bracket?
He even mentioned his freaking bracket in a press conference that he had with David Cameron.
I'm sure glad that our Commander in Chief has his priorities straight. Maybe he'll spend the rest of the week golfing. He seems to be a much more effective leader when he's golfing.
Afghan president wants U.S. troops out of villages...
U.S. moves massacre soldier to Kuwait; Afghans furious...
Thousands protest, chant anti-American slogans...
Taliban suspends peace talks with U.S....
Obama Fills Out NCAA Basketball Bracket...

Crickets in the Media
Why has not one word of this been spoken by the main stream media in this country?
In mid October, at the end of his bus tour our President had this to say to the firefighters and emergency workers:
Does that sound at all familiar? Maybe a little something like:
Not only is our president quoting Karl Marx, but he is advocating Marx's communist principles are what this country was built on.
I don't know what is more disturbing - that this American hating, communist clown thinks that this country was built on the basic tenets of communism. Or that he is stupid enough to think that we will all believe him when he spouts that drivel. Or that his handlers, his speech writers, his keepers are dumb enough to let him say something like that in public.
Or is it not stupidity, is it arrogance? Is it the arrogance to believe that you can do whatever you want and say whatever you want, because you know that there is nothing that can be done to stop you? Because if he is thinking that way, what does he know about the upcoming elections that we do not know?

"A fair shot for everybody; a fair share from everybody. That's the principle that built America."
Does that sound at all familiar? Maybe a little something like:
"From each according to his ability; to each according to his needs."

Why California is Swirling the Drain
I samelessly stole this list from here
The total employment of these agencies is over 350,000 and they all get salary, medical and a pension.
What will really torque you off is that everytime anyone mentions cutting our budget the only thing that our illustrious state legislatures can think to cut is education, police, fire, prisons and libraries.
Someone needs to print and staple this list to the forehead of Jerry Brown and every legislature in our state.

Osama Dead
Great, fantastic. Its about time.
Congratulations to the Navy Seals who pulled off this raid.
As much as I hate to say it - Congratulations to President Obama, it only took him over two and a half years to finally do something Presidential. Now can he follow-up on the this and not turn this into a "See what I did for you when the Republicans couldn't" moment?
I'm glad the bastard is dead. But in the grand scheme of things - it is just one more terrorist. There are still way too many of them out there plotting to do us harm. The war is not over, the threat is not over. I am worried now because I already hear morons on the news talking about how the "War is over". I'm afraid that the idiots in this country will want to stop the war, bring home the troops, and get back to their safe happy lives - turning themselves and the rest of us, back into targets for the terrorists out there who want to destroy us.

Current Events Quiz
I scored a perfect 11 out of 11, but honestly had to guess on a couple questions. At least I was able to narrow the guesses down to two choices which increased my odds.

Anonymous?
Speaking to editors and publishers from Hearst Magazine our dear leader said:
Well guess what Mr. President - the rest of us miss you being anonymous also.
If you truly miss -
Then why the hell are you running for re-election?
What a narcissistic windbag. Remember folks we are fighting three wars, the entire middle east is looking like it is going to explode, inflation is skyrocketing, government spending is bankrupting us, the infrastructure of our country is falling apart, joblessness is still outrageously high, and our president spends his time longing for the good old days when he could take a walk.
Well go ahead and take one Mr. President - walk out of the big fancy house we loaned to you for four years, leave the keys with the guard at the gate, pick a direction, any direction and start walking. Don't turn around, don't look back, just keep walking...
"I just miss - I miss being anonymous,"
Well guess what Mr. President - the rest of us miss you being anonymous also.
If you truly miss -
"I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks. I can't take a walk."
Then why the hell are you running for re-election?

No Wonder We Have No Space Program
The United States Space Program sucks. We were the first nation to put a man on the moon - 41 years ago. But the last 30 years we have had a hard time getting out of low earth orbit. Now after just two more space shuttle launches we won't even have a way to get up into low earth orbit.
Now I know why. NASA - the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. You know them, the guys in charge of our space program. In a recent interview NASA Administrator Charles Bolden explained why our space program is in the shambles it is in.
So it is the foremost mission of the NASA administrator to make the Muslim world feel good about themselves?
Someone please explain to me what making the muslin world feel good about themselves has to do with Aeronautics and Space?
If you have an answer besides NOTHING I would really like to hear it.
If not, then why are we spending over 18 billion dollars a year pretending to have a space program?

"When I became the NASA administrator -- or before I became the NASA administrator -- he charged me with three things. One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science ... and math and engineering,"

Kucinich Rolls Over
Democrat Representative from Ohio just held a press conference to announce that he is going to sacrifice everything he has believed and fought for over the last 10 years and firmly attach his lips to Nancy Pelosi's butt.
In announcing that he is going to vote for the health care bill that he opposed the first time.
During his speech he said something that should have everyone of you shaking in your shoes -
All of you who think our government is headed towards socialism or communism are wrong. They are not going to stop at socialism - we are headed towards a full out, in your face totalitarian dictatorship.
Where does this all stop?

"We have to have control of private health insurance companys."That's right, Kucinich, and the rest of his Democrat toadies is standing up and advocating the government take over of even more private companies.

CA State Senate Loses Their Fraking Minds
It's official! The California State Assembly has lost their freaking minds. And that is being kind, I am assuming that most of those twits had minds to lose in the first place.
Today, our illustrious State Assembly voted to make the first week in March a "Cuss Free Week."
WHAT THE HELL?????
Our state is spirialing down the crapper with almost no hope of recovery. We are massively in debt, spending significantly more money than we take in, we are being overrun by illegals and the best thing our state assembly can think to worry about it how much we are all cussing?
In addition to this idiocy. They make it a completely toothless resolution. We are all INVITED to stop cussing for a week, not REQUIRED to stop cussing.
I have a few other suggestions for our state assembly that I think they aught to impliment. How about we declare a:
1. Balance the damned budget week,
2. Stop spending more money than we make week,
3. Stop wasting your time trying to control our behavior week,
4. Start earning your keep and doing your jobs week,
5. Stop spending tax money feeding, educating, healing, and counseling illegals week,
6. Go out a get real jobs you lazy bastards week.
I'm sure there are a lot more ideas floating around out there, but I need to go outside and cuss awhile. But first one more bit of advice for our assemblymen - When you hear someone around you cussing - it is probably a pretty safe be that they are cussing at, or about, you.

RIP John Murtha
Democrat Representative John Murtha from Pennsylvania died today due to complications from gall bladder surgery.
In keeping with what my Grandma taught me about speaking evil of the dead, and if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all.
That is all I have to say.

Boxer Compromise
"You have both sides criticizing it, which means that we did what we had to do, we compromised in a fair way,"
Senator Barbara Boxer speaking about the Senate Health Care Bill
Just how stupid is our Senator Boxer - the only fair compromise she can imagine is one that pisses off everyone? I have bricks laying in the dirt in my backyard that are smarter than this woman.

Eight Years Ago...
Eight Years Ago....
I was 43 years old. Today, I'm over 50, feeling it, most days. I keep getting junk mail from AARP (which I don't even open). What used to be a daily list of aches and pains that annoyed me have become a regular part of my life. I have officially now lived over half my life with aching knees.
Eight Years Ago....
My oldest daughter was in 5th grade, the twins were in first grade. Today my oldest is a senior in high school. She is making college plans. She drives herself around these days. (When did that little pickup truck that I drove for 20 years stop being my truck?). The twins are in middle school and just two years short of being in high school themselves.
Eight Years Ago....
I hadn't looked at a volleyball game, or a ball for over 5 years. I had limped away from the game when my knees wouldn't let me play anymore. Today, I have been coaching middle school volleyball for 7 seasons. I am the director and a coach at my own volleyball club. This sport has taken over my life in ways that it never could have when I was a player. Eight years ago I didn't even miss the sport. Now, a week without spending time on the court with my players is a bad week.
Eight Years Ago....
I was feeling pretty good about my family's future. My wife and I were doing the right things - living within our means and saving for college and retirement. Today, I'm not so optimistic. Where I used to make plans for retirement, now the only plan I have is to hope I can keep working until I die. Because I don't beleive that our current government will ever allow our economy to recover to the point that the average guys like me will ever be able to retire and maintain any sort of comfortable lifestyle.
Eight Years Ago....
Our president was comic fodder. People made jokes about him. Called him names. Drew comical cartoons depicting him as a monkey. The media loved to ridicule the way he talked. After the 911 attackes the nation ralley around him for a few months. But then rapidly reverted to their old ways. But then some in this nation who didn't think we should fight back against the terrorist who attacked us carried things even further. They started blaming him for the attacks. Then they started blaming him for everything bad that ever happened in the world. Today, our president is an empty suited, smooth teleprompter reading chicago thug who got elected solely on the basis of his skin color. This president and his admiring throng of state controlled news media do not tolerate jokes, ridicule or derision of any kind. If you do not toe the line, smile and agree with every thing he says you are immediatley labeled a racist, a hater, or a domestic terrorist.
Eight Years Ago....
Our national debt was $5,773,172,068,291.89 that rounds off to about 5.8 trillion dollars. Today our national debt is $11,784,424,784,049.61 or 11.8 trillion dollars. (you can get those numbers here.)
Eight Years Ago....
Shortly after the 911 attacks our nation finally woke up and went to war against global terrorism. Today our leaders won't even say the word terrorism, unless it is used to describe staunch conservatives, former military, or anyone else who does not agree with them politically.
Eight Years Ago....
Our military has spent the last 8 years battling against terrorism and the despotic regimes in the world that support terrorism. The line you often here is 'Our military went to war, or nation went to the mall.' Unfortunately this has become too true.
It has been a long 8 years. Many of us swore to never forget the events of 911. I don't believe I ever will. The memories of the anger and frustration I felt on that morning mixed with the concern for the future of my children I don't think will ever fade. My grandparents used to tell me about how they heard about the bombing of Pearl Harbor and how that day changed their entire lives. I feel that way about 911.
Eight years ago...
I didn't care that much about politics. I didn't follow world events that closely. I voted and occasionally read the paper. But I knew I was a little fish is a huge fish bowl. So I concentrated on just taking care of my little corner of the bowl. I didn't really believe that my life and livelyhood could be that effected by world events. I was wrong. I still concentrate on my little corner of the fish bowl. But now I watch and pay attention to the rest of the bowl also. 911 and the eight years since then have taught me one thing. I may be just one guy. I may not be able to do much to affect the big old crazy world out there. But if I turn my back on that world and don't keep an eye on it. It can, and probably will, squash me like a bug.

KennedyCare
The ruling class democrats in Congress are trying to capitalize on the death of Ted Kennedy in order to reverse the American citizen's free falling support for their rotten health care insurance scheme. Robert Byrd actually said:
I think this is a wonderful idea. First off, this is a momentous occasion. This is the first time that Robert Byrd every supported putting a name other than his own on something.
Also, how could we possibly go wrong naming the new health care bill after a drunken fat man.
"In his honor and as a tribute to his commitment to his ideals, let us stop the shouting and name calling and have a civilized debate on health care reform which I hope, when legislation has been signed into law, will bear his name for his commitment to insuring the health of every American,"

I'm a Conservative
The phone rings this evening and my son answers. He listens for a moment then walks over and hands me the phone. A pleasant sounding, polite female voice verifies who I am then says that she is from the Republican National Committee and would like to ask me a few questions. Normally this is the point where I say "Sorry I'm busy right now and hang up. But out of curiosity I agreed to answer a few questions.
First question:
"Do you generally consider yourself to be a Republican, a Democrat or an Independent?"
My Answer:
"I'm a Conservative."
The voice on the phone said "Thank you" and she hung up!
I figure this is the heart of the reason why the Republicans lost the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives. Since when has the Republican Party been afraid to talk to conservatives?
