I’ve been pretty wiped out today after I had my first eye exam in 2 years. Yeah, don’t kick my ass. But I got it done and everything’s OK.
Trouble is, the eye doctor dialates the pupils and that makes driving home FUN. And a nicely concentrated bright light is shone in your eyes and that certainly complicates things. All this was eight hours ago.

I wished the girl I’m interested in could have been here. She would have made it a lot more bearable. So I’ll post something else too to satisfy my readers. Until then, Owie.

I haven’t watched the Academy Awards in a long time, and I sure don’t plan on doing so even when Chris Rock hosts this year’s “spectacle.”
One of the blogs I read on a regular basis is authored by a writer who is a Democrat but who also knows the score when it comes to what is important for his family and his country! The Man With the Fedora, Roger L. Simon (dammit, I really should pick up some of his books and check them out), speaks on the subject of why fewer and fewer people tune in to the Oscars...and so do some of his readers!

Yes Virginia, Israel has a superhero too! His name is The Golem! Check it out!

Well since I took a vacation day off in addition to the Washington’s Birthday holiday (THANK YOU VILMAR AND ALLAN for reminding me what that day is supposed to be!) yesterday, I decided to catch up on some additions to the blog.
As you can see, Parodies have been added. These are the photo, sound, and lyrical slams I’ve worked on since I started blogging, well before I went to Expression Engine. See the tab below the main header.
Also, I’ve also added an e-mail contact option on the About page if you wish to contact me.

So have at it!

Senator John McCain (R-AZ) has called for a permanent U.S. presence in the mountainous Central Asian country. Sen. McCain led a 5-member delegation to talk with Afghan President Hamid Karzai. Such a presence in the country could involve not only military operations but also regular cultural exchanges as well.

The liberals refuse to acknowledge the fact that we did not go to Afghanistan to subjugate its people...but to liberate them from the despotic Taliban and were thankful for it...unlike the British in the 19th Century and the Soviets in the 20th, both of whom attempted to conquer Afghanistan and got their asses kicked! They also refuse to recognize the status of three of Afghanistan’s neighbors:

China is a NUCLEAR POWER!
Pakistan is a NUCLEAR POWER!
Iran WANTS NUKES BAD!

That right there should tell any reasonable person that Afghanistan is between three rocks (China, Pakistan, Iran) and a hard place (the rest of the Central Asian ex-Soviet republics, not to mention al Qaeda and the deposed Taliban themselves) and has good reason to be concerned with its security for the foreseeable future. If Karzai and the Afghan people ask us to help them, by all means we should do so!

Damn it, this the 21st Century AD and Islamic councils on the other side of the planet perpetrate revenge against little kids for the sins of their relatives! In this case....

A tribal council in Pakistan has ordered the betrothal of a 2-year-old girl to a man 40 years older to punish her uncle for an alleged affair with the man’s wife, police said Monday.
The council decreed the girl must marry 42-year-old Mohammed Altaf, her uncle’s cousin, when she turns 18, police said.
Altaf, a farmer, divorced his 32-year-old wife over her alleged love affair with his 20-year-old cousin, Mohammed Akmal. Akmal, a bachelor and also a farmer, has no children.

People, there is NO SUCH THING AS FREE WILL in Islam. There is only SUBMISSION. This is what we are fighting. The Islamofascists call us barbarians? They better look at what’s in the mirror when they wake up in the morning.

That is, if they even HAVE mirrors!

Well I went and did it. I ordered the documentary titled ”In The Face of Evil: Reagan’s War in Word and Deed.” It should get here in about a week or so via the USPS. I wanted to see this movie at the theaters but it played in only a very few screens across the country, which meant it got a lot less airplay than that other “documentary” (and you all know which one).

That, of course, was because the Left will continue to vilify Reagan even though he is gone to Heaven. When I get this movie, I will write a review on it. Stay tuned.

Charles Moore at the Telegraph (in the UK) writes on the sheer size of the European Constitution, which, as he points out, is one big document which denotes which powers the Government has over the people! So big, in fact, it weighs in at 511 pages and 2 pounds, 8 ounces! Compare this to OUR Constitution, the text of which you could probably fit onto (at most) 4 double-sided pages and stick into an envelope to mail to someone you care about!

And the European Constitution is so good, even the Spanish justice minister extols its virtues to his constituents:

“You don’t have to read the treaty to know it’s a good thing.” In Spain, at least, it seems likely that the faithful will accept this secular bishop’s advice: they won’t read the constitution, and they will vote for it.

Sure enough, they did. Baaaaaaa Baaaaaaa!

Wouldn’t it be ironic if we actually sent the United States Navy’s newest attack submarine into the fray that is now known as North Korea? Cox and Forkum seem to think so....

On a serious note for a moment. The 39th President of the United States did indeed serve honorably as a Submariner in the Navy. And his involvement in Habitat for Humanity serves as an excellent example of how former Presidents can make a difference.

Outside of that, I shudder at the mention of Jimmy Carter:

“My Peanut has a first name, it’s J-I-M-M-Y;
My Peanut has a second name, it’s C-A-R-T-ER.
Oh I hate to eat them every day
And if you ask me why, I’ll say…

...cause
Jimmy Carter has a way
Of Messing Up the USA!”

(Sung to the tune of “The Oscar Mayer Song")

I’m 0-2 in this year’s iTunes Pepsi promo. Not good. Gotta get in there and buy some more Pepsi products!

There’s this girl I’m interested in...she loves cats. She got on my case when, after I had helped her send a file, I said “there’s more than one way to skin a cat.” WRONNNNNG ANSWER!

Anyway, one of my other friends in California (who DOES have a house full of cats and all of whom are zany) sent me this little ”screen saver” which I think the girl I’m interested in will enjoy...as long as she gets some speakers for her computer real soon!

This Test here said “You Are A Realistic Romantic...You are more romantic than 70% of the population.”

Tell this to my next girlfriend??

Imagine if you will...Yoda as a guest on The O’Reilly Factor. Better the Jedi Master than Jar Jar Binks!

The Battle of Iwo Jima began sixty years ago today. There is no doubt in my heart that this photo, taken by AP photographer Joe Rosenthal four days into the assault as the Americans reached the summit of Mount Suribachi, is the defining moment for the Armed Forces of the United States..and for all of World War II. It speaks volumes all by itself.

So do these quotations:

“Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue”—Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, 1945

“As long as Americans cherish the memory of those who served at Iwo Jima, and grasp the crucial lesson they offer all free societies, the totalitarians will never win.”—Arthur Herman, 2005

REMEMBER.

Seems like those who support the Film Actors’ Guild couldn’t hold their breath long enough and defaced one of the signs Citizens United put up to thank them to help re-elect the President. Which proves the point: the Hollywood Left is so far out of the ballpark, they’re beginning?...No, they’re already too far gone!

What a**holes.
