9/11

Ten Years Later And We're Still Under Attack...

What a Freak Show we have for both an elected government and their appointees.

Pray for the victims and their surviving families of the horror which struck our country a decade ago, and pray that it won't be further politicized or disrespected by a group of people which only think of themselves and their power and political gain.

My head hurts just thinking about this crowd, so I guess I'll go now.


Regards Y'all...

My Thoughts On 9/11

Freedom Ain't Free Dammit....

I've been pretty much sitting around here this week distracted with personal and other professional crap for the most part but in the back of my mind I  knew that the 10th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks on NY City and the Pentagon and Pennsylvania was coming up.

Fox NEWS and the local and national newspapers have all been hyping things up but to me it pisses me off that this date on the calendar has to be HYPED UP in the first place.

After all...what isn't there to understand about a bunch of towel headed Muslim Jihadist assholes coming over here from third world countries where they don't have toilets or hot and cold running water or electricity and cable TV and blowing us all up because we have toilets and hot and cold running water and electricity and cable TV ?

Seriously, if you follow the news stories about these shitheads which did the 9/11 airliner strike thing these limp penised little Arab boys spent the time they weren't in the flight training program sitting in HOOTERS and in local TITTY BARS while at the same time praising ALLAH and looking for their 72 Virgins. They hated America and Americans but they enjoyed the very things that they could not find in their own countries.

It's the ultimate parody of their religious faith that as far as I can tell that each and every one of them came here to the United By-God States of 'Merica years in advance of their attack on us and our way of life and lived as Americans and took advantage of all of the conveniences and privileges available in our country and our way of life here in North America.

And then they proceeded to attack us.

But what is more insidious today is the attack we are suffering from within our country.  From within our own GOVERNMENT.

The idiot Mayor of NY City isn't even going to let there be Clergy or any prayers offered at tomorrow's "Official" ceremony.

The idiot Mayor of NY City and stupid Governor of NY isn't even making any special accommodations for "first responders"--fire fighters and police men---at tomorrow's "Official" ceremony.

I say it's a sad state of affairs when we don't need the towel headed jihadists to attack and change our way of life here in America.

They've already won this war because we're attacking ourselves from within... 

The Islamo-Fascist's Dead Osama Bin Laden's Dead

Breaking News...


I was sitting here trying to get started up in my shop, all the while wincing my way along enduring Hernando Revolver's Geraldo Rivera's blithering on FOX News.

They were talking up the sudden calling of a news conference by the President late on Sunday night.

Then they rambled through a series of information flashes which ultimately said that Bin Laden was shot and killed last week and that the DNA verification testing was just made available tonight.

So now we have to listen to President Obama crow about his administration doing something that President Bush couldn't or wouldn't do...killing Osama?

And does that mean by default that Obama killed Osama?

Regardless of who actually did the deed or where it was done, all in all it's a good thing I think.




(I tossed in the "Hernando Revolver" reference for all of you Cheech and Chong fans out there...)

"Screw- Top" Versus "Pop-Top"

Relieving The Pressure On My Brain


Well, the good news is that yesterday my girl and my Turbo Pup and I spent an entire day together in the same building for the first time in five days.

Turbo Pup's Mom lounged around recovering from her recent Hospital Resort Vacation.

Turbo Pup relaxed being happy that her entire Pack was back together and she could catch up on her normal 15 hour a day sleeping schedule.

And Me?

ME?

I was so busy I actually wore clothes and shoes all day while sitting at home--never left the building.

I needed the clothes and shoes because I had to meet with my PLC programmer in my basement shop in the morning to finally get this latest panel software moving off of dead center.

Then one thing lead to another and I looked up at the clock and it was already 2 PM and I was still fully clothed including shoes.

You see, most of the time around here my attire is at most a tee shirt and lounge pants and socks, and in the warmer months shirts and socks could be considered optional.

Not a pretty sight these days sometimes, but still...

So any wayyy...

Things were bouncing along pretty good until about 2 PM when I finally remembered to call and check on the progress of my professional pipe technicians  linear tubing installers  so called "plumbers" working down in Lower Alabama.

Mom hadn't seen or heard a thing today.

After an exchange of phone calls back and forth from her end, she called me back to report that the owner's wife had cursed her out, and hung up the phone.

I placed a call to their office to confirm that regardless of their intentions, that I was officially terminating their participation in the project, and the stupid lady proceed to call me and Mom--the customers--"incompetent."

When I pointed out that we were the customers and if anyone was "incompetent" it was the owners and some of the people working at Goolsby Brothers Plumbing & Electrical, the lovely woman then proceeded to curse at me and hung up the phone.

WTF?

I then wrote them a letter and faxed it over with a copy of a check covering the time they had spent out on the property on Monday and further instructed them that they were not to set foot on our property again or we would prosecute them for criminal trespass.

And so now after all of the crap I went through last week calling around looking for a competent plumber, and then flying all the way to Alabama trying to coordinate the effort, I find myself back to square one this morning trying to find someone smart enough to remove some dirt and connect a few elbows and some straight PVC pipe to the existing working piping on a timely basis for a reasonable price.

The good news is that I have two very good prospects...but the project probably will not be finished until next Monday at earliest--a week after we dug the holes and found the pipes.

Oh...WAIT...I almost forgot...

Now, as to the so-called "professional plumbing company" and the sweet, sweet, lovely woman--supposedly the owner's wife--manning the phones over at  Goolsby Brothers Plumbing and Electrical in Enterprise, Alabama?

They are going to rue the day they screwed around and acted like this on a project with a guy that's a blogger and knows how to handle things here on the Internet.

I'm not going the liable/slander route because I don't have to...they gave me enough stuff in less than a week to keep me busy for at least a month warning potential customers about our experience.

I'm starting later this morning with Angie's list.

Then I'll move on to all of the referral web sites that have customer reviews.

Then the Better Business Bureau.

I have a lot of paying things to do right now, but I have a looooonnnnnngggg memory, and any company that would let an employee...let alone the owner's wife...call and curse out a senior citizen for no reason, deserves a special place in Hell...

...and I have several ideas how to make sure they enjoy an expedited trip through the gates to their just rewards.

That will be all, for now...Y'all.

Six More Days To...

The "BEGINNING"...or "THE END"?


I don't know about you Ladies and Gentlemen, but I'm so tired of the "News" and inherent stupidity associated with this current 2010 "election cycle" I want to go dig a hole under a rock somewhere and not crawl back out until next Tuesday in time to cast my vote while staggering past some Black Panthers or SEIU Union thugs in the process.

And of course next Wednesday morning after the last spit has stopped flying (except for the lawsuits and crys of voter fraud by the Democrats)...

I fully expect the "pundits" and the news persons to pause long enough to cover the fallout from the results of the World Series and possibly the next person getting bit by a shark on a beach out in California before cranking up new polling and discussions and predictions about the next Presidential election in 2012.

And in the mean time I guess I'll just continue to work my ass of earning as much cash as possible so the IRS can stop by next April 15th and pick up their share of my largess.

Time to take a nap after being up all night working again.

Regards Y'all...

Overall it was only a little over 18 minutes of Hell...I've listened to it once on the Radio and watched it once on TV and every bone in my body aches from enduring the process.

Now I have to go soak my head and press it in a vice and see if I can squeeze the inane words back out my ears and nose.

Please excuse me.

President Obama Sez "Some Are To Blame...But All Are Responsible"

Blaa...Blaa...Blaa


I just watched the Obamarama press conference live from London with the British Prime Minister, and what BLEW ME AWAY was Obamarama's insistence in pre-selecting the questions and the questioners in his news conferences.

WTF?

This stupid SOB can't answer a question off the cuff or on the fly?

Horry Crap Batman...the idiot doesn't answer a question when he "answers a question" which is pre-screened.

And he has the audacity to complain about about "the press" being unfair in their portrayal of the non-issues we're throwing shit-loads of money at.

A Pirate Looks At Fifty

I Guess Jimmy Buffet Would Be Proud...


I'm too lazy to Google it to give you the link this morning, but earlier I watched some sniveling European peacenick commenting on the current escalation of the ongoing rash of "Piracy" going on out on the African high seas.

The idiot actually said that there was nothing much which could be done militarily to prevent the ransoming of ships and crews due to concerns about "international law."

SAY WHAT?

I guess what he's saying is that just like the people walking the streets of Washington DC and NY City and San Francisco, the law abiding crew members of these ships are at the whim of savages bearing GUNS because the rules and laws prevent them from having guns of their own.

I call bullshit on that estimation.

If I were on one of these boats I'd want to make sure the equipment list included a couple of 50cal machine guns and a shoulder mounted RPG or two and we would dispatch the wannabe "Pirate" idiots on on to Heaven or Hell or Mecca or where ever to meet their makers before they even thought of climbing a ladder to make their demands.

UPDATE 7:23 AM: here's the link to the video if you're interested...

Castro Dead?

Not At All A Bad Thing...IF It's True


I have to admit that I'm not on the ball right now with my Internet news reading, but one of my blog Idols down in Miami, Val over at Babalu Blog, has it on pretty good authority that Fidel Castro has finally decided to take the eternal dirt nap.

Of course the lamestream media is hesitant to report on the potential demise of the originator of the greatest government run health care system in the entire world. Even FOX news hasn't mentioned it (the rumor) in the past half hour.

I was born about the time this useless bastard took the reins down in Cuba, and for all of my life I've looked at the map and flown over the country in an airliner wishing that I could visit one day.

If it's true, I'll be on one of the first planes heading down there later this winter looking for some good cigars and the opportunity to visit the place that Hemingway called home for part of his life.

Keep your fingers crossed.
