Random thoughts and reminisces of things past and
current. Rants at times. Yes I do rant on occasion.
Been there. Done that. Not PC or even remotely polite at times. But I will use civility most of the time.
Got a dues are paid card. That blue retired one that uncle sam issued me one autumn day in 1993 after turning in the green one following twenty years in Naval Aviation Maintenance.
And on occasion there will be things to laugh about. And perhaps shed a tear or two.
I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Thought for the current times

"As an American I am not so shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his name, because America gave him the White House based on the same credentials."

A cartoon for the day.

Do not freak out on this one, folks. Take it for what it is. Nothing is implied by me, the blog owner.


Click to make big so it will be easier to read, should it be necessary to do so. I got this from a nice lady at Google +. She happens to be a very devout Catholic and she thought it was funny.
Why am I rationalizing this? My French-Flemish Catholic Grandmother and my Norwegian Lutheran Grandmother will be paying me a visit if I do not give a civilized explanation.
I just think it is funny.

The sales freak me out, too. But then again, they always do.

I have a theory about the MLK assassination

It was retailers and marketing folks that paid for it so that eventually a holiday would happen in January and those sales can take place after the after Christmas sales.

The Wicked Jester Says

Positively Churchillian:

"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life."

Arnaud Amalric

In 1204, he was named a papal legate and inquisitor and was sent by Innocent III with Peter of Castelnau and Arnoul to attempt the conversion of the Albigensians. Failing in this, he distinguished himself by the zeal with which he incited men by his preaching to the crusade against these heretics. He was in charge of the crusader army that sacked Béziers in 1209.[2] There, according to the Cistercian writer Caesar of Heisterbach, Arnaul Amalric supposedly responded when asked by a Crusader how to distinguish the Cathars from the Catholics,

Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius
(Kill them all. For the Lord knoweth them that are His.)

This is the origin of the modern phrase, "Kill them all and let God sort them out."
