Now Hear This !

 
Excerpt:


Deputy Prime Minster Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal-Democrat Party, has proposed a one-time tax on the wealth (rather than the incomes) of high-net-worth Britons. The details aren’t clear, but Clegg says the country is facing an economic war caused by a prolonged recession, and needs to tax the rich in order to avoid social unrest.


If I may, a Translation: The British government has decided that "people with more wealth than they need" (who gets to decide?..) can be stripped of their extra unneeded wealth.

You can bet your ass that the democrats will do the same thing here if the losers of America vote their pathetic asses back into majority office.  Got a 401k perhaps that some asshole will decide you don't need right now?

This is what happens when governments can't stop spending money they don't have and run the credit cards up like sex crazed and drunken kardashian women.

I Love Non-PC, And It's Gets No Better Than This Eh?

Wow. You Have to Play This One

So good.

It's an hour, but this is a live jazz concert you're not going to see the likes of in a decade or more.

All so good but check out the bass player on Sunny. Did I mention the Sax Player..

I'll Show You Mine ! Seriously!

You may need a microscope though.

And PS - this of many life processes was created by primordial pond scum ooze ?  I don't think so.

The Space Program Is Worth It.

Comparatively speaking, the cost of "Space" has been minuscule to almost any other endeavour the federal government has taken on.  I dare say the only endeavour to return positive results has been the space related programs.  Like the Hubble and all the other analytical telescopes that are up there taking pics.

Of course a lot of the reason for that has been that the imbeciles in government, when even tempted to micro-manage anything space related have always simply said "Whoa Dude! OK, you take care of that!" anytime an issue has come up.  I mean really, Rocket Scientists pitted against a "Generally Speaking" gaggle of dumbass lawyers is pretty much always going to win hands down.

As a result, we get pictures like this to contemplate and inspire.

America Has Its Head Up Its Ass

Was this unethical ?  Of course!  Illegal ? I say No, the boys were all of legal age.

And what if Matilda down the street, who is not a teacher or the boys are not from her school, has an orgy at her house with 4 - 18 year old boys.  You probably wouldn't want your son there.  He would most definitely enjoy it though and it would be "Sex between consenting adults".  Would she go to jail?   No!!

This country has its head up its ass by a wide swath and is no longer able to come to reasonable conclusions  about just pretty much everything.

Just Say No to obama and Bozo biden

Edited excerpt...

Chris McMurray's bakery has been open only since May, barely three months.

Wednesday morning, advance teams for Vice President Joe Biden walked in.

"I approached her she said Joe Biden is coming to town today," McMurray said.

"She said they have selected 'Crumb and Get It" to be his stop on his way to Blacksburg and was wondering if that was ok."

"This is an opportunity of a lifetime but essentially I said 'No offense to you or the campaign but I just decline you guys coming in here."

Outstanding. Also, the 2nd paragraph from the bottom in this story is not to be missed.

Perspective, Guns, Flying and America

So, I was 26 and was making my first big move, from Pittsburgh, PA to Phoenix, AZ.  It was February, 1979 and it was 40 below with the wind chill.   It was 80 degrees in Phoenix when I got there 4.5 hours later.

I had sold all of my meager belongings, except for a couple items and was going all in on a new start in Phoenix.  I was renting an apartment with a couple friends and was hauling about 1200 in cash, and my Dan Wesson 357 magnum in its case on the flight with me.

I had everything in a small carry on hard shell luggage bag.  My folks were with me at the airport, they drove me, and were seeing me off.  Security was nothing in 1979 like it is now.

So, I get to the gate, and this is where they are scanning stuff on the belt scanner thing.  The person acting as security is one of the stewardesses on the flight I would be on.    The best I remember it.  I was thinking about a lot of things and the details at this stage are a little fuzzy.  I do remember the stewardess and some sort of security process because she asked me if I had anything in my carry on bag that I should tell them about.   I said Yes, I have a gun.  She gets an excited look on her face and asks if I will follow her with my bag to this smallish room just off the gate boarding area that had a glass window into the boarding area.  The rest of this I remember quite well, because now I had to focus on something.

Post haste a Pennsylvania State Trooper comes into the room.  This was security at the Greater Pittsburgh International Airport apparently in 1979.  More than 1 trooper for the airport of course.

So, it's me,  the 'security' stewardess who would also be on the flight, and a Pennsylvania State Trooper. 

The trooper asked me if I'll open the bag - a small suitcase - which I do, revealing a wooden case with the Dan Wesson 357 kit inside.  The kit, unlike the best match picture I could find below, had only two barrels, a 6 inch and a 3 inch (the two barrels in the middle) but with the same two grips pictured.  A real Dirty Harry pistol.

It looked kind of like something a hit man would carry I guess, though I hadn't thought that at the time.   I was kind of self-absorbed and not really thinking in terms of how others might take me..

At this point the stewardess is visibly beside herself. She got one of those "Oh no you don't" looks on her face and pirouetted away, then tuning back with hands on hips asking if he's going to let me on with this thing and such. He had the last word apparently.

He asks me if it's loaded, I say "No, but there are a box of 50 bullets also" pointing to them under some socks.  hahahaa   He takes it out and checks that it is not loaded, holds it up and says Nice Gun!. I say "Thanks!"  He asks "Hows it shoot?"  I replied that I could hit a 5 gallon can at 100 yds with it.  He smiles and says "Nice."  The stewardess has this look of disbelief on her face.

He wants to know what I'm doing with it on the plane, and I say I'm moving one way to Phoenix and just want to take it with me and didn't trust sending it UPS.    He asks "Do you mind if we store this luggage up front by the cockpit?"    I say Not at all, long as it gets there is all I'm interested in.

He puts the gun back, closes up the luggage and hands it to the stewardess and says go ahead and put this in the storage by the cockpit.  It was the Last thing she wanted to do, but again, he apparently had the last word. What a hoot.

It is a very empty airplane, maybe 30% full and there is actually no one sitting in front of where I'm sitting.  Maybe the stewardesses arranged for this while I was looking around at plane stuff not paying much attention to the boarding process.

So, we take off, and another stewardess, a very good looking one, comes back into economy where I'm at and sits on the armrest of the seat in front of my seat and talked to me the entire flight.  It was my first flight, and I was a young hick from Pittsburgh and figured they did this kind of stuff all the time. 

In hindsight, this was obviously the Stewardess' security plan. Keep a close eye on me !

What a hoot. Contrast that to today or even 20 years ago. Wow are we in such a different country.

Hey Obama !

You Dweeb.

Today, Aug 13, you congratulate the NASA Curiosity Rover team.  Six days too late !

What's more, did you know we've had a couple rovers up there for a couple years now?  We already know there aren't any Martians.  Just a lot of rust colored rocks and a few of a different color.

Just FYI.

 

Speaking of which, ask me how excited I am to see more pictures of Martian rocks...
