Just a casual observation. That idiot just can't keep from stepping in the manure, can he? And his "envoy" sent to the various countries that comprise the sandbox has been shown to be just a tad on the radical side. And now the sphincter of the house has the idea that someone or something is paying for the opposition to the mosque and they need to be investigated, by the FBI? The woman has issues. Reading a real news source is something she has failed to take up. Just like the CinC! Hmmmmm. Peas in a pod?
Seems to me that some of the observations are indeed correct. The Administration and The Congress are out of touch...............with pretty much everything. The percentage of Americans against the BHO Super Mosque is such that the realization of the voters being angry makes things a bit obvious. Well obvious to you and me, anyway.
Oh, just for giggles, Carly Fiorina leads Barbara "call me senator, I worked hard for it" Boxer by five points in the most recent poll here in the Socialist Welfare Republik of Kalifornistan. I do believe this is a step in the right direction. A real turnaround would be on the other side of the San Gabriel Mountains in the 30th congressional district. That being the ouster of Henry Waxman.
BTW, the kidney came out eleven months ago, today.

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
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
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
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

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
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

Bell, California
If anyone has been following the news lately, out here in SoCal, the little city of Bell has been highly visible. It seems that the Manager, Council and certain city executives have been paid really, really large salaries. This in a city of about 37,000 with a median income of around 35.000 dollars a year. The city manager, a guy named Rizzo, made over 800K a year. The Chief of Police got about 430K or there about.
Now the special investigator from Attorney General Moonbeam, has been in the mix. It seems that the residents of Bell have been overcharged on property taxes to the tune of 3 Million Dollars. Now the boy from Sacramento, a guy called John Chiang, has said they don't get it back. It must go to schools. An overcharge not being returned to the people whose money it really is. Wow, talk about out of control bureaucrats! The overpayments should go back to the taxpayers since the tax overage was declared illegal. But no. Not with the likes of the governator and moonbeam in charge. And the folks in Bell are going to keep getting screwed regardless of what happens.

BHO Commercial
I Don't owe You
Borrowed from the Violence Worker.
Excellent read and does it ever make sense.
I don't want to sound like a scrooge, because I'm not, but I don't owe you healthcare. I don't owe you food stamps. I don't owe you a home and I don't owe you a free ride.
By the same token, you owe me none of those things either.
If you choose to sit on your ass, do not think that you have a right to a free doctor's visit on my dime. If you are here illegally, the only thing I owe you is a boot, squarely applied to your butt, as I kick you out of MY country.
If you are incapable of helping yourself, compassion demands that I should help you and I will and I do.
If you truly want a hand up and not a handout, I want to help. We've all needed a little help now and then. Most of us don't expect to make dependency a lifestyle.
I cringe when I read some liberal telling me the opposite is true patriotism. Bull Twinkies! We are a compassionate people and we should seek to help those who cannot help themselves, but if you are young, able to work and are willing to do so, then do so and shut up.
No one expects you to make a career on minimum wage. If you do, then you are either incapable of doing much else, or you are lazy. Most people, who are willing to work, do not stay on the bottom rung.
You do not need an ipod. You do not need a blackberry or an i-phone and you don't need a wide screen TV. You don't need a brand new Lexus. You don't need the latest fashions. If you can afford those things, then you can afford healthcare. You can afford a place to live and you can afford to buy your own food.
I've been poor. I had a Tandy 1000A I bought for 25 bucks from a friend when all my friend had 486 based machines. I didn't have a cell phone until about 6 years ago. I don't buy new cars very often. I've wondered where my next meal was coming from, but I never thought to ask for your tax dollars so I could buy it.
I'm not better than you and uncountable numbers before me and after me have bettered themselves while suffering much worse than I ever have.
I don't owe you. Stop begging. When you demand free this or that, you may as well be begging. Tell me what's the difference. Being an American used to mean that you understood that the American Dream was not a dream, it was a goal. Now they try and tell me that it means that I must finance your dream for you.
Understand that the middle class is getting tired of funding your dream. Understand that we have been pushed a bit too far. Understand that we aren't buying that "tax the rich" crap. That is nothing more than a code for taxing the producers.
To the politicians: We are tired of seeing untold billions go to bailout your political friends. Some of the biggest names in bailout are some of the biggest donors to the Party of Handouts.
I don't owe you re-election either.

Obama does it again. Rant.
The "I Won" came out in support of the mega mosque down the street from Ground Zero. It has nothing to do with religious freedom or tolerance. He is on their side. Why else would he have sent that radical scumbag to the mid east as a feeler.
The worthless bastard does not give a rat's ass for this country. Hope and Change. Should be Hope? and Chains.
Could be that woman he is married to was spot on with the Kenyan statement.
Done for now.

Kagan. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!
The only thing I can think of is that the ghost of Saul Alinsky visited the CinC in a dream. There is no reality based reason for this pick for the Supreme Court of The United States. I pray to the Almighty that the conservatives on the Court stick around until we vote that piece of shit out of office.
Readers should remember that I was a rather vocal opponent of that "wise latina woman" that got on the court prior to this.
It is not because they are women. There are many intelligent, conservative women judges in the Republic who would be much better choices than avowed traitors such as obamastein has picked. It is because they have no belief in the very words that we live by. I saw that line in a TV PSA about the Constitution of The United States some years ago.
Kagan and Sotomayor are just a couple of communist trollops as far as the Old Retired Petty Officer is concerned.

Moderating forecast!
Click on this one from Accuweather.
http://www.accuweather.com/us/ca/edwards-afb/AC935/forecast-details.asp
It looks as though things are going to cool down over the next few days. Yes, folks, the nineties can be considered as moderate out here in the Mojave Desert.
At least we don't have the humidity that our friend Buck has had on the East Central Plateau of New Mexico.

Buyers(voters) remorse defined
Appropriated from elsewhere. Yeah. It hits the nail on the head. Said better by Chris Muir than I can, at least today.
