Shakey Pete has suffered a great loss.

Go give him some support.

All of you idiots that support Obama’s (but I repeat myself) new push to stop generating electricity with coal:

If you really believe that coal is so bad for the environment, then I fully expect you to use 42% less electricity starting right now.

Yep. 42%.

Since it is summer, I guess you could start by shutting off that air conditioning unit. That’ll take a big chunk right there. You won’t sleep as well, and you will sweat a lot more, but hey, it’s fr a good cause, right?

But you need to do more than that. Cut 42% of every months bill. Shut off your TV, your stereo, your computer. Use your cell phone 42 % less.

Drink 42% less Starbucks (what, you didn’t realize that the water for that latte was heated by electricity?) stop buying groceries too…at least some of the ones that require refrigeration……

Use your furnace 42% less too. (hey, you can always wear a sweater). I know your apartment will be cold, but hey, 42%…coal!

If you have an electric stove, only heat your food for 58% of the normal temperature.

Wear your clothes 42% longer. Yeah, you’ll smell, but hey, gotta use less electricity, right? Coal is bad, remember? And you only get 42% less showers too. Hygiene is less important that banning coal powered electric…right?

Your apartment is gonna be 42% darker too.

Your whole life is powered by electricity…so now you get to enjoy it 42% less.

Or you are a hypocrite.But we already know you were, right?

and, of course, the fat wallet,

Then I’d take a trip to Nebraska this coming September.

With a car hauler. A large one.

and a truck to pull it with.

and a really large wad of greebacks.

But I have neither the money, nor the time, nor the truck or car hauler.

But if you do, you should think about going to THIS auction. If, of course, you are into cars.

Virgin, unrestored, low (or no) mileage cars.

Come to think of it, my Dad does need another project……

I’m just sayin’

And, actually, good riddance.

It was a Poorly written, half assed piece of legislation. Done nearly as poorly as the proposed anti-gun stuff was in the wake of the Newtown tragedy. And, actually, the case that decided it was an IRS issue.

The destruction of this legislation is actually, a restoration of States rights. It’ll be used as a precedent for many following cases.

If only we had a politician who would have the guts to stand up and say that the State has no business in the marriage business….but only in the legal recognition of partners for legal reasons. The business of “Marriage” belongs to the churches and other organizations….It is not up to the state to sanctify or bless your union, only to recognize it.

But our politicians, none of them, have the intestinal fortitude.

Blogging is failing as my workload grows. I really don’t have much brain left to do any real blogging lately, and I hate just linking everyone else’s stuff.

But:

It would appear that we, those of us who believe in freedom, are winning the small battles against tyranny.

Yet I fear that we are losing the war.

Ever encroaching government, ever invasive organs of the State, A leader who is, essentially, unrestrained be either the congress or the courts. Are we really that powerless that we cannot stop this?

Or is it apathy?

I’m not sure that it isn’t just apathy in our general population. Yes there are those of us who are active, to some extent, but unless we motivate our fellow citizens, we aren’t gonna stop this shit.

In fact, if we cannot even get motivated as we did for the whole “gun control” debate, we are gonna lose. It is gonna take that kind of energy for each and every time to win.

I don’t know if we can keep up that kind of fight for long enough.

What say you?

I’m working strange hours lately, and one of the places I am working has the Weather Channel on 24/7..

I guess I haven’t been paying attention….

I never realized that they were such cheerleaders for the Glowbal Warmening Climate Change movement.

Nor, really, for Barry Obama either.

Strange that even a weather forecaster can be so blatantly partisan.

If this is true, then it explains a lot.

Obamacare, etc.

That reporter Michael Hastings died in a “single car accident“.

I mean, lets face it, He had made some significant and fearful enemies when he outed and caused the end of the career of Stanley McChrystal. I found it curious that he was killed in an accident a few days ago…..Sometimes, however, one has to accept that shit happens.

*********************************************************************************
But then we find that he had sent Emails to several friends and associates claiming that he was being investigated by the FBI (“FEDS”), and that if questioned by them, his friends should consider that it “may be wise to immediately request legal counsel before any
conversations or interviews about our news-gathering practices or
related journalism issues.”.

Then approximately a day later, he is dead. Burned beyond recognition.  Strange how coincidences happen, innit?

One wonders.

The Feds are investigating…. Just like they investigated JFK, Vince Foster, and a host of others….

Draw your own conclusions.

So Wednesday, I sliced my left thumb to the bone along the side…. 1.5 inches of slice, on a piece of very sharp metal. To the bone. A fairly bad cut, actually.

I wrapped it in a paper towel and a bit of tape and continued working.

When I got home, I cleaned the cut and aligned the edges and super glued it shut.

Thursday, I woke up with the cut throbbing to my heartbeat. All day long, I banged it into things, adding to the pain.

I was grousing about the pain, the wound, the lack of dexterity, that the bandage and the lack of mobility caused by the whole thing….

Then, at the end of the day, I met a man who was missing his left arm from just below the shoulder.

Suddenly, my wound didn’t feel so bad anymore. Nor the temporary lack of dexterity.

“I cried that I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet”.
