All I can figure is that I must look like a terrorist or something. The TSA has upped the ante.

On my return trip, they gave me the FULL treatment. Stripped me down to my underwear (bet you didn’t need that visual, did you?) and left me there for 10 minutes (at least it wasn’t too cold in the room…..I don’t look my best when I am cold.). These guys were at least human though. Polite and professional, but the other guys had ZERO sense of humor. These guys made an unpleasant thing at least bearable.

But hey, they are doing their best, keeping the flying public safe by strip searching the white anglo-saxon males while letting the middle easterners go with no inspection.

I mean, lets be real here…while very, very few people of middle eastern descent are terrorists, an even smaller percentage of white males are. So why do they go after everyone but the middle easterners? I would not want anyone to have to go through what I did, but lets be realistic as to who we are searching, and why.

Jesus H. Christ, I hate flying…..Not so much the flying (although it can be interesting being trapped in a metal tube with 200+ complete strangers….But I digress). But rather the TSA and all the BS that they make you go through.

This time, I came up for a “random screening”. Jesus, I haven’t given that much up on a first date! Full wanding/patdown, etc. If it had been a cute person of the opposite sex, it could have been fun. But NOOOO, it had to be a grizzled veteran screener. It was quick though. It would have been nice to get an explanation as to WHY I was selected though.

Even the CBO says that the recession will end by mid to late 2009 WITHOUT herr Obama’s “stimulus” package of favorite pork projects.

What a load of crap this is.

Hope and change, my ass.

I’m thinking rope and trees….many of each.

So if you strapped buttered toast (toast ALWAYS lands butter side down, right?) to the back of cat (always land on their feet, right) and toss it (them?) off of a tall building, what happens? Does the universe implode, or does the combination just spin and never land or what?

Just wondering…..

“God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. … And what country can preserve its liberties, if it’s rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.” – Thomas Jefferson

“Life isn’t about learning to survive the storm……..But rather learning to dance in the rain”

Well, it looks like they have the length and diameter of the shaft figured out, now they just have to decide how hard they re gonna give it to us…

According to Rasmussen, less than 37% support this bill. Yet it is going through. Where is the representation that these folks who we elected are supposed to be giving us? I intend to work VERY hard to get others to vote these folks out of office.

They have “trimmed” the bill down to $780Billion. Nice job of trimming. With interest, this means that this will cost over a TRILLION dollars in the next 10 years.

So much for “change”.

Fuck-em. We need a real revolution here.

So here is the thing…..I am not a right wing whacko, but I am definitely right of center. Therefore: “middle of the right”.

Hope that clears things up a bit….
