Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts



  • Well, we've got a verdict as to whether the Found Dog has a chip ..................That would be "no." Ugh. 
  • Now what the heck am I going to do? I'll get a better picture of the doggie, but it truly kind of looks like a Portuguese Water Dog. It's probably just a mutt, but a guy can dream. 
  • I forgot to mention that as Mrs. LL and I were watching it run around the back yard for the first time, I wondered out loud what its name was. She then yelled out, "Here, Skyler!!" (That was a Random Thought call back joke she threw down.)
  • I'm not into music, but the new services Spotify sounds incredible. (In other music news which may or may not be significant, Gavin DeGraw was attacked in New York.)
  • Somebody dropped off a "Bridgeport Tea Party Patriots" flyer at my office but it really didn't say anything crazy. Dang it. 
  • My neighbor vacuumed her car out in a bikini on Sunday. She wasn't washing the car, just vacuuming it. 
  • Whatever happened to "Google TV"? 
  • Wise County Commissioners have started budget talks with department heads. Is the proposed/preliminary 2012 budget online? I haven't seen it if it is. And is there a graph somewhere showing budget increases over the last few years? Gimme.
  • Funny tweet I saw about the downgrade of the United States: "Oh, great. America is going to bomb Standard and Poor's now."
  • I don't think I ever seen so many people (who happen to be President Obama haters) so giddy about unemployment and a stock market crash. 
  • I doubt if many of you watched the NFL Hall of Fame induction speeches, but I shook my head at Marshall Faulk who thanked his wife for "cooking for me." That's pretty much the best accolade he gave her. 
  • As much as I want to learn about the "Collar Bomb" case that is back in the news, there's very little to help me out. The very detailed Esquire article leaves a ton of questions unasked, and a 30 minute special on CNN on Sunday night was shallow. (Note to those that actually read the Esquire article: Did the sentence that started "With the help of his pal Barnes" jump out at you? Is that the only reference to how the victim had any connection with any of the loonies in that case?)
  • I've got a pimple. I haven't had a pimple in years.
  • Tony Romo gave an interview where he said his new bride is making a lot of changes in the decor of his house even though, "I thought it looked OK."  Welcome to my world. 
  • A Texas youth pastor, honey, teenaged girls, shower, video camera. Oh, my. (And it's a rare case where he was actually saved by the statute of limitations.)

How could the statute of limitations have passed for the youth pastor? It happened less than four years ago, and two of the teenagers were 15 at the time. I would have thought the SoL would be tolled until the victims reached adulthood.

I wonder how long the Statute of Limitations would be if someone went over and stuck a boot up his ass.

We're tickled pink that Obammy is driving us over the cliff. The rascist S&P was just using the downgrade excuse to help Obammy fail. Are all of you liberal weenie kool aid drinkers starting to realize what we have been warning you about? If not, God help you!

BG--That isn't giddiness. That is anxiety that there are still a great number of stupid people that would vote the fool back in after he has purposely destroyed our way of life. Thanks to him and his minions, we will get to work about 10 years longer before we can retire (if even then).

The RT pic of girl in black bikini top is what I saw one day, the first time I stumbled across this website about 2 years ago. I was addicted ever since. She is the one that got me coming back for more.

wordkyle said...

Anyone who is "giddy" about the bad economy is an idiot. Schadenfreude is a foolish way to live one's life. On the other hand, if you call "giddiness" whenever someone places high unemployment and stock market trouble on the Obama report card, then the issue is your poor use of language. Is there any factor in which America is better as a result of Obama's term in office? They put out lots of would-a beens and could-a beens, but in actual performance, he hasn't done very well, has he?

If the investigation were handled correctly, a surprise search warrant would have been served on Fortenberry's house or apartment and offices, and if her were found in possession of such a video, he could still be charged with possession of kiddie porn, which would be an instanter offense.

I'm sure he's long since disposed of it by now.

Scrub said pimple with washcloth and alcohol. Then put a dab of antibitotic ointment on it and cover with a bandaid. Give it a few hours and presto- you're back to your unblemished self. This works better if you catch it in the evening and do it overnight though.

For a couple of years before the Obama administration began, Dems were in control of both Houses. Then, they were in control of both Houses and the White House.

I don't care WHERE you place the blame (and GW gets PLENTY), I want to know who is going to begin to repair the damage. So far, I don't see much hope. But I've had my fill of change.

From the Unacollar Bomber case article: "In 1984, investigators found 400 pounds of butter and more than 700 pounds of cheese, nearly all of it rotting, inside her trash-strewn house. Psychiatrists deemed her mentally incompetent seven times before a judge finally ruled she was fit to be tried in the Thomas case."
Why do the courts even bother with mental health assessments of defendants? Is there ever a case of a judge NOT ordering a do over until they get the results they want?
I mean come on- 400 pounds of rotten butter and 700 pounds of rotten cheese?!
That lady looked cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

Take Skyler to the vet for exam and shots and then take him to the groomer. He sounds like a good addition to your family. He's already used to being outside. Just needs some water, food and love. Do the right thing Barry. I promise you he will repay your family with love.

"giddy about unemployment and a stock market crash"
I don't know who you are talking to, maybe your assessment is correct, especially if they are truly "O. haters" as you describe them. However, if you are placing that label on them simply because they disagree with his policies, and they believe the ecomonomic result of those policies is disasterous, then what you describe as giddiness may just be that they feel affirmed in their opinions. We all like to be right, after all. More and more good-thinking people are coming to the conclusion that the USA is now irreversibly on a track that will lead to the promised change that many bought into, including a period of stoppage of the system as we know it, and there are various predictions about how long it will last before some kind of return-to-sustainable equilibrium develops. Lots of speculation and scenarios, of course. One thing that seems to be certain, is that noone who advocates the continuing deficit spending of government at all levels, will participate in any discussion regarding how or when the debt will be paid back, or by who, or how it will affect their lives while they are doing so. Neither will they discuss the effect that inevitable spending cuts will have on those who are becoming increasingly addicted to the lifestyle of pulling less and less of their own weight. I also have not heard anyone say, nor has history shown, that increasing tax levels beyond the current level will reduce the deficit, nor increase federal revenues, nor boost the economy. What they say is that it will be "fair".

I agree with 11:30 in that the crash has certainly NOT induced giddiness in anyone. Certainly I am not pleased that I appear to have lost much of what I have invested for my retirement over the years due to bammy's 'change'. Yet I DO feel affirmed in that I said all along he was the worst thing that could happen to America and it's proving true. You can try to argue all you want, but the proof is on Wall Street. You can't deny the man is at best an idiot and at worst a conspirator to bring the US down. And no, I am not giddy at the prospect of working several more years instead of retiring in 4, which was the original plan.

255 - Obama is not interested in raising taxes to increase revenues. He's interested in "fairness," even if it means lower tax revenues. His position is ideological, not practical.

Rage-What's YOUR solution?

Get out of Iraq.

Reduce our contribution to the UN until the budget is back on track.

Reduce and eventually eliminate our presence in Afghanistan.

Reduce foreign aid to all but strategically significant countries/regions. I feel this excludes Israel.

Increase taxes paid by corporations. Not much, but reduce or eliminate some loopholes to make it to where they pay a nominal amount where they pay none now. Yes, I realize that some corporations already pay taxes, but some of our largest ones pay nothing.

Reduce or damn near eliminate any estate and capital gains taxes.

Slight tax increase for those making over $200K (including me).

Mandate that states increase spending on education (with specifics, such as scholarships and grants similar to Georgia's Hope scholarship) by 25%.

Reduce military spending by 25% over and above the savings gained by getting our of Iraq and Afghanistan. Study the need for the F-35 program by evaluating competition for the F-22 and determining if the F-35 can be delayed, eliminated, or pahsed in over a longer period of time.

Bomb any and all nuclear capability (even those claimed to be for power only) in Iran and North Korea, without an invasion, similar to what Israel did in Iraq years ago. If that destabilizes those governments, great. If not, so what.

Re-establish funding for planned parenthood, because bitrth control is cheaper than welfare babies. Mandate welfare recipients usue birth control.

Mandate that states increase funding for diversion programs such as mental health courts while decreasing funding for prisons.

Mandate that states make use of programs such as cite and summons as opposed to arresting and booking defendants for low level offenses, saving jail costs and police officer salaries.

Immediate deportation after trial for illegal aliens accused of a crime, unless arrested for a capital offense.

Immediate deportation of illegal aliens not accused of a crime.

That's about all I can come up with right now.

Rage: that is the first time I have seen you directly answer a question without insulting the asked. It is also the first time you have made sense. Some of your bullet points I actually agree on. Some I do not but it was nice to see a real attempt at discussion from you. May I follow the other question with one of my own? What is Obama actually doing to accomplish any of your bullet points? Why keep supporting him?

Anonymous said...

Rage you actually make some good points, most of which I agree with, surprisingly enough. Now having said that, why are you so in the tank for somebody as spineless and idiotic as our president? I honestly feel like I was smarter at 16 than he is right now. The man has absolutely no connection to reality and thinks he can win on smiles and platitudes. I think you're intelligent enough to realize that this man, and liberal ideals in general, just don't work for America. The problem probably is that you're just too prideful to admit you've been wrong for so long, which is totally understandable. You wouldn't be the first to convert; you always hear of liberals becoming conservatives, but never the othernway around. Conservatism is "found" and I'll tell you why. Liberalism doesn't really take a strong mind to understand because it requires nothing more than feelings and how things should be fair while conservatism, on the other hand, requires a person to make decisions based on logic, reasoning, fact, and principle. Just something to think about.
