In Memory of Nodar Kumaritashvili

I think the picture above says it all. My condolences to the family, friends and other loved ones of Nodar Kumaritashvili. Nodar was struck down in his prime, but he died doing what he loved. The hearts of my family bleed for you and your loss. Now that the Olympics are over and Nodar has been laid to rest, I have a bone to pick with the IOC. The IOC released a cold and indifferent statement about the accident. How dare you fuzzy-headed, tree-hugging, hateful assholes blame his death completely on pilot error. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. The fact that you modified the track puts the lie to your assertions that the track is completely safe. You must think the world's population is stupid and can not discern a lie. Nodar Kumaritashvili's death is a tragedy, however, that your extreme hubris has been exposed for all the world to see, will hopefully be eye opening. In the future, this will color the perceptions of the world on your every word. Here is a great opinion piece, and it is a shame that the athletes did not unite to bring you to your knees.

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND DEATH TO HER ENEMIES!

D'Oh Canada

It will come as little surprise that hockey is one of my favorite sports. This being the case, I watched the entire Gold Medal matchup between the United States and Canada. Congratulations to the Canadian Mens Hockey Team. It is disappointing that this victory did not go to the American Team, but if it could not be us, than I am glad it was you. It is sad to say, but Canada wanted it more, and played a better game. It is difficult to score when you can not keep the puck out of your own ice. Still and all there is no shame in Silver, and my congratulations go out to all three medaling teams. You have brought glory to your homelands, and it must be especially gratifing to the Canadian team to win on your own turf. We'll get you next time though. Observation: This matchup seemed to me like a NHL Allstar game. Fun Fact: A member of the American team plays for the Vancouver Canucks. How wierd to lose on your home ice in such a way. Fun Fact #2: A member of each team that was in compition will be playing as team mates when the NHL season resumes.

American Patriot/Hero of the Week

Being that yesterday was the birthday of "The Father of our Country," I thought it appropriate that this week's American Patriot/Hero of the Week be George Washington. President Washington's accomplishments are to many to list, but the state run school system being what it is, I thought we could all use a refresher. (NOTE: This is the header entry from Wikipedia. To learn more, click the link inserted above.)

George Washington served as the first President of the United States from 1789 to 1797 and as the commander of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War from 1775 to 1783. Because of his significant role in the revolution and in the formation of the United States, he is often referred to as "Father of His Country".

The Continental Congress appointed Washington commander-in-chief of the American revolutionary forces in 1775. The following year, he forced the British out of Boston, lost New York City, and crossed the Delaware River in New Jersey, defeating the surprised enemy units later that year. Because of his strategy, Revolutionary forces captured the two main British combat armies at Saratoga and Yorktown. Negotiating with Congress, the colonial states, and French allies, he held together a tenuous army and a fragile nation amid the threats of disintegration and failure. Following the end of the war in 1783, King George III asked what Washington would do next and was told of rumors that he'd return to his farm; this prompted the king to state, "If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world." Washington did return to private life and retired to his plantation at Mount Vernon.

He presided over the Philadelphia Convention that drafted the United States Constitution in 1787 because of general dissatisfaction with the Articles of Confederation. Washington became President of the United States in 1789 and established many of the customs and usages of the new government's executive department. He sought to create a nation capable of surviving in a world torn asunder by war between Britain and France. His unilateral Proclamation of Neutrality of 1793 provided a basis for avoiding any involvement in foreign conflicts. He supported plans to build a strong central government by funding the national debt, implementing an effective tax system, and creating a national bank. Washington avoided the temptation of war and a decade of peace with Britain began with the Jay Treaty in 1795; he used his prestige to get it ratified over intense opposition from the Jeffersonians. Although never officially joining the Federalist Party, he supported its programs and was its inspirational leader. Washington's farewell address was a primer on republican virtue and a stern warning against partisanship, sectionalism, and involvement in foreign wars. He was awarded the first Congressional Gold Medal with the Thanks of Congress in 1776.

Washington died in 1799. Henry Lee, delivering the funeral oration, declared Washington "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen". Historical scholars consistently rank him as one of the greatest United States presidents.

Joke of the Week

Western Law

These laws apply to Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Oklahoma,Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Idaho, and the rest of the wild west.

1. Pull your pants up. you look like an idiot.

2. Turn your cap right, your head ain't crooked.

3. Let's get this straight: it's called a 'gravel road.' I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

4. They are cattle. That's why they smell like cattle. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-75 & I-35 go North, I-20 & I-3 go East. Pick one and go.

5. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 Combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year.

6. Every person in the Wild West waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand te concept.

7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of geese / pheasants / ducks / doves are coming in during the hunts, we WILL shoot it outa your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.

8. Yeah. We eat trout, salmon, deer and elk. You really want sushi and caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.

9. The 'Opener' refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

10. We open doors for Women. That's applied to all women, regardless of age.

11. No, there's no 'vegetarian special' on the menu. Order steak, or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham or turkey.

12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salp , pepper, and ketchup! Oh, yeah...We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat, IT AIN'T REAL CHILI !!

13 You bring 'Coke' into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice. You bring 'Mary Jane' into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.

14. College and High School Football is as important here as the Giants, the Yankees, the Mets, the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.

15. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards - it spooks the fish.

16. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump junk ain't music, anyway. We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers ! REFER BACK TO #1!

Some Props to The President

I worry as I write this post about the likelihood of either my head or my exploding. While I am sure this will brighten the day of any liberals that might stop by, my family, and the majority of my readers, would be rather put out. I write this in the hopes that perhaps if enough good conservatives praise the Commander-In-Chief, he might straighten up his act. While I hold out little hope for this eventuality, I still make the attempt in hope of a better future. I know this story is out of date by almost a week, but like I said, I have to give credit where it is due. The President has decided to aid the power industry in building a new nuclear power plant. I am a big proponent of nuclear power, so this is great news. Hopefully The President will fast-track the building of the new plant, and tell the greenie-weenies to take a long walk off of a short pier. Do not get me wrong, nuclear reactors can be terribly dangerous, and as such I am not advocating for a short circuit of the safety regulations, but if the administration could put a moratorium on the inevitable lawsuits that will be filed in an attempt to derail this project. Just as an idea, maybe the government should build the reactor, then any lawsuits that the greenie-weenies come up with could be dealt with using sovereign immunity, then just sell it to whichever compan wants to buy. I also think that The President should consider withdrawing our signature from the portion of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty that bans us from recycling our spent fuel rods. That would deal with the big problem of what to do with most of that pesky waste nuke plants produce.

There, I made all the way to the end and the computer still functions, and my head appears to be in one piece. Remember Mr. President, WE ARE WATCHING.

Latter to The Chosen One

I found this letter while surfing around the net and thought it awesome beyond description. NOTE: It is misattributed, and the correct author is mentioned in the story. Enjoy!

Subject: Teacher Slams Obama

April 17, 2009
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Mr. Obama:

I have had it with you and your administration, sir. Your conduct on your recent trip overseas has convinced me that you are not an adequate representative of the United States of America collectively or of me personally.

You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the Muslim world that you have abdicated the responsibilities of the President of the United States of America . You are responsible to the citizens of the United States ... You are not responsible to the peoples of any other country on earth.

I personally resent that you go around the world apologizing for the United States telling Europeans that we are arrogant and do not care about their status in the world. Sir, what do you think the First World War and the Second World War were all about if not the consideration of the peoples of Europe ? Are you brain dead? What do you think the Marshall Plan was all about? Do you not understand or know the history of the 20th century?

Where do you get off telling a Muslim country that the United States does not consider itself a Christian country? Have you not read the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States ? This country was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles governing this country, at least until you came along, come directly from this heritage. Do you not understand this?

Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is an affront to all Americans. Our President does not bow down to anyone, let alone the king of Saudi Arabia . You don’t show Great Britain , our best and one of our oldest allies, the respect they deserve yet you bow down to the king of Saudi Arabia . How dare you, sir! How dare you!

You can’t find the time to visit the graves of our greatest generation because you don’t want to offend the Germans but make time to visit a mosque in Turkey . You offended our dead and every veteran when you give the Germans more respect than the people who saved the German people from themselves. What’s the matter with you?

I am convinced that you and the members of your administration have the historical and intellectual depth of a mud puddle and should be ashamed of yourselves, all of you.

You are so self-righteously offended by the big bankers and the American automobile manufacturers yet do nothing about the real thieves in this situation, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Frank, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelic, the Fannie Mae bonuses, and the Freddie Mac bonuses. What do you intend to do about them? Anything? I seriously doubt it.

What about the U.S. House members passing out $9.1 million in bonuses to their staff members – on top of the $2.5 million in automatic pay raises that lawmakers gave themselves? I understand the average House aide got a 17% bonus. I took a 5% cut in my pay to save jobs with my employer. You haven’t said anything about that. Who authorized that? I surely didn’t!

Executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be receiving $210 million in bonuses over an eighteen-month period, that's $45 million more than the AIG bonuses. In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives have already been awarded $51 million – not a bad take. Who authorized that and why haven’t you expressed your outrage at this group who are largely responsible for the economic mess we have right now.

I resent that you take me and my fellow citizens as brain-dead and not caring about what you idiots do.

We are watching what you are doing and we are getting increasingly fed up with all of you. I also want you to know that I personally find just about everything you do and say to be offensive to every one of my sensibilities.

I promise you that I will work tirelessly to see that you do not get a chance to spend two terms destroying my beautiful country.
[br[ Sincerely,

Every real American
