Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

New definition of having a bad day. Cirrus Chute Deployment Fails Over Texas, Pilot Still Makes Safe Landing

Cirrus Chute Deployment Fails Over Texas, Pilot Still Makes Safe Landing:


You know you're having a bad day when a flight goes so bad that you feel you must resort to using a parachute to see you safely through the flight... but the day is TRULY bad when that chute fails and leaves you to battle the emergency that you thought you had escaped from.

The link above has the entire story. Makes one go hmmmmmm.

Illegal immigrant gets kidney. For Free?

James Pisano at Google Plus on the election yesterday

Here's what I'm seeing from what happened last night:

1. The American people have spoken. Although I do not believe Conservatism is a minority mentality in America, what is exposed through the evidence from yesterday's election is that Conservatives are not well represented, and thus will not be able to well represent Americans in its political endeavours. This needs to change if America is going to become a powerful leader on the world stage again, instead of a complicit follower.

2. Americans, as a whole, do not understand the damage that has been done to our ability to sustain ourselves as a Nation. We've forgotten what self reliance means, and have traded hard work and dignity in for revenge politics a la Valarie Jarrett, David Axelrod and President Obama. America, to our dismay, has shown that the sensationalism of the dirty political game is what makes them happy.

3. We, as a Nation, are in for a devaluation of the dollar as a world currency. The world, as we know it, will begin to stop trading commodities in our currency and we will begin to see a downward spiral into banana republic status as we continue to try to print our way out of the obligations Keynesian fiscal policies will create for our progeny, and theirs. America will see its credit rating dropped from the As and we will become the biggest Greece this world has ever known. The rest of the world will be forced to cut us off for fear of our failure taking us down with them.

4. Because the House remained in GOP control and the Senate did not change control we will see a perpetual Continuing Resolution built on a 2009 budget baseline that included over $1T in spending that was intended to be temporary. Instead of what President Obama promised in a reduction of our National Debt and reduction of our Deficit Spending we will see at least $5T more added to our debt with $1.3T/yr deficit spending per year until Obama leaves office.

5. There will be continued attacks on the non-governmental institutions that have helped define what it means to be an American. The Constitution will see attack after attack as Justice Ginsburg retires and two more lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court are appointed by President Obama and Harry Reid. These appointments will be divisive, have defined designs on their personal interpretations of the Constitution and what it means in terms of how the Government can control the individual and the individual entity. We will see an increased fervor from those already in our Government for Command and Control governance, where the regulatory state will determine your outcome regardless of the legal ramifications of your actions within your state of residency. If you wish to succeed it will be at the behest of the Government, not because of your desire to do so.

6. Iran will be emboldened by our inability to throw off the shackles of tyranny which bind us to our fate. Ahmadinejad will see this election as akin to what happened in 2009 in Tahrir Square through violence and unproductive demonstration against a totalitarian regime, and recognize our unfulfilled will to oust a dictatorial despot as further evidence that we do not possess the means to prevent him from developing a nuclear device. Iran will reach that goal or Israel will be forced to stop them, and they will have to do so on their own. This will spark the powder keg that is the Middle East into what could very well become the catalyst to WW3. Under President Obama we will not be prepared to protect ourselves or our allies, and we will not be prepared to feed and power ourselves without the rest of the world's resources available for our purchase because the Command and Control state will not allow for continued domestic energy and agricultural development.

7. Because the President and those in the Senate will see their continued status in power as a mandate from the people for them to lead us to their designs of what this Nation should be we will see massive increases in taxes for the wealthy and what is known as the upper middle class. Those who have means will leave this country for nations friendlier to their wealth, and those who do not have means will suffer at the hands of a Nation that does not value their productivity as much as it values punishing it through wealth redistributive measures. Those who are in the so-called middle class will find it harder to succeed, and those who are poor will become poorer still. There will be a rash of selling of stock and a retraction from the market by those who have capital but are unwilling to spend it in anticipation of the increased taxation that will come beginning in 2013 and continue with the implementation of ObamaCare.

We're in for a very rough four years, everyone. If you measure our Nation's success in terms of the unemployment numbers and GDP, both are in store for a respective downturn as those who produce begin to find new markets to move their productive activities into. War will not become a thing of the past, and we will see many more instances where Libya's failures will become the norm.

We have been shown to be the moral minority. That doesn't need to be our death knell, but at present it will be discouraging. Do not despair. When confronted with the truths about Conservatism in the face of the lies of Liberalism and outside of the echo chamber that is the mainstream media, the American People invariably choose the former over the latter. We have to find a way to cleanse the GOP of those less than upstanding examples of who and what we stand for, and better educate those who are willing to listen. Our message is clear, but the minds of those receptive to it are not, and the hearts of those who would co-opt our souls for avarice and power are all too common.

This is not the end, everyone. It is a beginning. Fight Club and the Dogs of War are not dead. Eventually Americans will realize what they've done to themselves. Once they do we will be there to help guide them out of the dark and into the light that is Freedom, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

My two cents starts here.
 I freely admit this, I am not very happy with what occurred last night. There have been many reports of improprieties around the country. I think the process was compromised in several locations. I will wait and see if there are proper investigations into such activity. I do have this little bit from a friend of mine in Madera County, California.
"In Madera County, voters were given TWO ballots for POTUS. I know...I vote in Madera Co. THAT is how obama won...double-voting." Pam McKinney.

"ABSOLUTE VOTER FRAUD. Across the board/across the nation. Look toward the union thugs. Remember, the Election Depts in YOUR county are run by government workers, the socialist democrats, the union members. In Madera County where 89% of the population is Mexican (and a LOT of them illegals), they were given TWO ballots. I KNOW. Republican Congressmen had better form an investigative committee and have every single democrat signature checked for legitimacy and then count the signatures against ballots. There WILL be more ballots than signatures." Pam McKinney.

Remember, this is a state that actively supports and coddles illegal aliens over and above the citizens. The Democrats, as they are called, are directly responsible for this. Governor Brown needs to be held accountable as well along with our Attorney General. That individual, Kamala Harris is a Card Carrying Member of the American Communist Party. Nuff said there.

After the shameful manner in which the voting was handled in many locals along with the blind faith of those who voted for a second term for the Current Occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, I will no longer give any respect to Barack Obama. To me he is a pretender, usurper and a charlatan. 
I am now considering liquidation of assets and heading to Belize. 

The unintended consequences are already happening as reflected in the Dow dropping 300 points immediately upon opening of the stock exchange.

The United States of America is no longer the Republic which I served for the best twenty years of my life. It is now a third world septic tank. We allowed UN representatives from other countries to "monitor" our electoral process. Our currency is not what it was at all. Our "leaders" act as if they could care less. I include a number of GOP Senators in this as well. 

All of those who voted and enabled the outcome of last night are going to be surprised when things start to fall in on them as a result of their lack of proper judgement.

As for California, the liberals who make up the majority in this once vibrant and productive state have decided, among other things, that a tax hike is in order. Prop 30 was passed along with other dubious measures.

 Diane Feinstein 'won' her fourth term in the Senate.Term limits seem like a good idea to me.
I guess I am done for now.

Stolen from my sister


Dennis Miller: What kind of morally bankrupt cretin tells my teenage daughter that voting for him is the same as losing your virginity?
It does make one go Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Or does it cause one to become angry and outraged at such conduct?
I go with the latter.  
Got to hand it to Dennis Miller for the description of the current occupant: morally bankrupt cretin is a new one on me. 
That description seems so fitting as observing the current occupant's demeanor and carriage during this campaign season.

New Navy work uniform, AGAIN!!

From The Master Chief's Lair
"Waiting in the Commissary check out line, I read the front page of Navy Times and discovered we are about to change the Navy working uniform, again.  That comes as no surprise to me, since the present working uniform is not conducive to shipboard use."
The rest is at the link.
I went through a few uniform changes and some out right bastardizations as well................Sucked. Really Sucked.
New Navy Working Uniform, AGAIN!!

Viewpoint of a friend of mine:

This was on the Facebook page of my friend from Santa Clarita, Lainie Sloane. Good and decent lady of faith. 
I am not in such a good mood right now over the ruling in favour of obamacare. I have enough government intrusion in my life being that I work for the Air Force and have to deal with the Tricare stuff and the Department of Veteran's Affairs. Plus living in California, the used to be Golden State.
That being said, I will let loose a tad here. The Chief Justice has disappointed me deeply but upon further reading, he may have caused the current occupant of 1600, the cabinet and the Communist Controlled Senate more heartburn than we may realize. 
I have made no secret of how I feel about obama and his policies, agenda and views. He is a hollow man and a manchurian candidate as far as I am concerned. I would love to be able to move to a state that will opt out but being in The People's Socialist Republic of Kalifornistan, I am so screwed.
With out further ado.....................And a Big Thank You to Lainie!
Viewpoint of a friend of mine: "Now that the initial shock is wearing off, there is much speculation, confirmed by the attached link, concerning the Supreme Court ruling about Traitorcare.


"The upshot of the speculation is that, in ruling as he did, Chief Justice Roberts put The Traitor in a box from which he cannot escape and gave the election to the Republicans in a possible landside.


"The Tea Party and all those who support it have a rallying cry far stronger than 2010, and their intensity will show itself at the ballot box while Democrats are splintered and begging people not only for money, but for Democrat voters to vote in November. The Republicans, even with Mitt Romney as a candidate, are counting the hours and will be highly energized to get converts.


"Roberts and the court ruled a mandate is unconstitutional, meaning future attempts to mandate Americans buy a product or service now has a precedent prohibiting it. By ruling Traitorcare is a tax rather than a mandate, it means The Traitor's promise of no new taxes is shot to smithereens and now American business, already suffering from a deep recession, is more unlikely than ever to hire new employees, thus deepening the recession just prior to the election. Moreover, because Traitorcare is now a tax, the Republicans have a HUGE campaign issue and The Traitor is going to have to defend a law he doesn't understand. Romney will devour him in a presidential debate. (Incidentally, do not discount the possibility that Obama may refuse to participate in one.)


"But the killer is the ruling that individual states may "opt out" of Traitorcare, and before the computer ink on the ruling was even dry, the Republican Governor's Association already stated they will not enact it in their states. Of course, the looney governor from California, Jerry Brown, has anxiously stated California will participate.



"In November, 31 Democrat senators are running for re-election and a majority of them are suddenly very vulnerable. This means the Republicans now have a very strong shot at control of both houses of Congress and the presidency.


"The attached link is from the White House Insider who states this is the greatest news we could have received, and he is now convinced The Traitor will lose and lose big. In the short article, he makes the point that swing states will now become Republican. He strongly hints the end is in sight.Now that the initial shock is wearing off, there is much speculation, confirmed by the attached link, concerning the Supreme Court ruling about Traitorcare.

And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch.

  • My Google Plus Bud, Jeff had this one up. Worth the read.

    Excuse the inappropriate language but this is really worth the read!

    I Think She IS Pissed, but oh so correct...

    Alan Simpson, Senator from Wyoming , Co-Chair of the Deficit Commission, calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he compared "Social Security" to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats.

    Here's a response in a letter from PATTY MYERS in Montana ... I think she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!

    "Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight..

    1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole for FIFTY YEARS.

    2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63).

    3 My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero ambition losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff proud..

    4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and your ilk pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age 67. NOW, you and your shill commission is proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.

    5. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now you morons propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because you idiots mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal money from Medicare to pay the bills.

    6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you incompetent bastards spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt. To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit" on your incompetence.

    Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU.

    1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 50-year political career?

    2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?

    3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

    4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or, as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

    It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the"greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcases who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers. And for what? Votes. That's right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it.

    And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch.

Choosing Life and Beating the Odds: Accepting Down Syndrome

From Cassy Chesser at PJ Media.
"Ninety percent of babies with the diagnosis end up aborted. But that wasn't an option for me."
This is an excellent read. It is about what transpired and how Cassy and Matt are dealing with the situation.
I can't do it any justice. So read it yourself. 
Prayers and Positive Waves to Cassy and Matt, if you please.

CT Scan

Got home a little while ago.
The scan went OK. The radiology tech was a cute and adorable little gal. Navy Brat!!!!!!!
The prep as it were, on the other hand, was not so good. I had to take two oral contrasts. They were in sixteen ounce cups! I showed at 0800 and took them over the next two hours for a 1000 scan that turned into 1100 plus!!!!!!!!
Side effect of these two things..................the runs.....................and I do mean runs................
Results will be at my Doc's on Thursday...............the wait.............or the weight(apologies to The Band)
I will not go down and tell my children I didn't have the courage, the conviction, the commitment or the character to fight for this country...Don't go home and let your children down~~ LTC Allen West
