Merry Christmas from the Family

Robert Earl Keene's Merry Christmas from the Family Lyrics and Chords:

G                        C9
Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk

G                    C9
At our Christmas party

G                                      Em
We were drinkin' champagne punch

C                           D
And homemade eggnog

G                                   C9
Little sister brought her new boyfriend

G            C9
He was a Mexican

G                                            Em
We didn't know what to think of him

C                              D
'Til he sang Feliz Navidad

G
Feliz Navidad



Brother Ken brought his kids with him
The three from his first wife Lynn
And the two identical twins
From his second wife MaryNell
Of course he brought his new wife Kaye
Who talks all about AA
Chain smokin' while the stero plays
Noel, Noel, The first Noel

CHORUS:

D
Carve the turkey turn the ball game on

C
Mix Margaritas when the eggnog's gone

D
Send somebody to the Quik-Pak store
C
We need some ice and an extention cord

D
A can of bean dip and some Diet Rite

C
A box of tampons and some Marlboro Lights

G                                   Em
Hallelujah everybody say cheese

C            D                            G
Merry Christmas from the family


Fran and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can't remember how I'm kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motorhome in
They blew our christmas lights
Cousin David knew just what went wrong
So we all waited on our front lawn
He threw the breaker and the lights came on
And we sang Silent Night
Oh Silent Night

CHORUS:

Carve the turkey turn the ballgame on
Make Bloody Marys cause we all want one
Send somebody to the Stop 'n Go
We need some celery and a can of fake snow
A bag of lemons and some Dite Sprite
A box of tampons and some Salem Lights
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family

Feliz Navidad.

And where was the outrage then…..?

Last night my neighborhood had its annual Christmas, luminary/hayride party.  It was very nice. Santa showed up. The kids got a candy canes, cookies and hot chocolate.  Homemade treats were freely consumed as well as a few adult beverages ( in big red cups to keep this a G rated family event.) Nice times, big smiles and the rain held off; an overall success.

But then there was Stan. 

Stan is a neighbor that wears his "Progressive Liberalism" on his sleeve.  He works at or just promotes a local radio station that carries and spews Liberal blather.  He has never been shy about his political views.  Other than his driving skills, he is mostly tolerated in the neighborhood .

This is what happened.  Last night my buddy M1ARocks happened to have on this T-shrit.  It was not displayed prominently as he wore it under his jacket but Stan saw it and immediately launched into a loud  F-Bomb laden diatribe calling my buddy a traitor, racist, and any other despicable adjective you can think of.  M1 just stood there kinda smirking and giggling as Stan went on.  I politely reminded Stan that there were kids present and Santa probably doesn't appreciate the language. We then reminded Stan that for eight years there was no outrage for disrespecting our president.

About 33 Minutes


Protecting America in the New Missile Age

33 Minutes: Protecting America in the New Missile Age is a one-hour documentary produced by The Heritage Foundation that tells the story of the very real threat foreign enemies pose to every one of us. The truth is brutal - no matter where on Earth a missile is launched from it would take 33 Minutes or less to hit the U.S. target it was programmed to destroy.

Nuclear proliferation around the world, and the threat of a ballistic missile attack of some kind is mounting as more and more countries obtain nuclear technology. The ongoing threat toward America is also accelerating due to the fact that there are many rogue nations and terrorist organizations who either have or are seeking ballistic missiles and nuclear technology.

The challenges of protecting America and its citizens for President Obama's administration are great. Featuring rare footage and in-depth interviews with leading experts in the field, 33 Minutes is the definitive documentary exposing the untold vulnerability we all face and the action plan necessary to revive a strategic missile defense system that America uniquely can develop, maintain, and employ for its own defense and the peace-loving world's security.

"With the threat of this administration and congress, what is the possible motivation for anyone with ideas and capital to invest his time, talent, and money into a risky endeavor? There appears to be none. In fact, there appear to be powerful incentives not to invest any time or treasure -- thus an economy with almost zero creative inertia."

Story from Ann Coulter

 

Ann is the best!

The fifth amendment and why you should not talk to the police...

This video, Don't talk to the police.   Though I am a huge proponent of law enforcement and law and order, this  has been very eye opening.  Things i learned:  If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to say.  If you have something to hide, you can not help the situation by talking.  Unsure....... don't talk.  Sitting on a Jury...  The fifth is for the innocent.


Updated:  This video , though produced by the ACLU is a good primer on your rights as a citizen and how to act when dealing with the police.  I am not a fan of the drugs displayed in this or for the ACLU for that matter, but just substitute "whatever" questionable material for another.  Just think of all the odd stuff you may have in your house or car that could draw attention to a well intentioned but very suspicious law enforcement officer.

Dog Tale

My good friends and neighbors  yesterday had their dog Noah Franklin pass on yesterday.  Noah was a male Aussie Shepherd that was super-smart, good natured, and a neighborhood icon.  Noah was up in years but had just received a second chance on life several months ago after he was discovered to be ill.  He was diagnosed with large abdominal tumors, that the vet removed, but his fate was uncertain.  For the past three months or so he was alert, and spry, but we all knew he was on borrowed  time. 

Last night his owners, neighbors, my wife, and myself, hung out and had a kind of an impromptu wake, consuming adult beverages and talking about Noah Franklin.  This story was related to me by Noah's owner and my guitar picking partner "Hazy Grout".

Hazy had left Noah in the care of a friend while he vacationed up north .  Almost immediately after Hazy departed, Noah had escaped and wound up incarcerated in the county pound. Now I know what you are thinking, "Poor Dog" has to spend a week or so in the pound locked up in the pound. He will probably be sold for a dog biscuit and become some mutts  "Bitch". 

Well, not so fast....

When Hazy went to pick up Noah, he encountered typical county govt. agency  bureaucracy.  It seems they could not locate a Male Black and White Aussie Shepard,  but reported  "we have Black and white female named Noah".  The un-neutered dog was locked up for almost two weeks with the female population!  Noah slept steady for three days after his return home and probably still curses Hazy for "posting his bail"!  (Told you the dog was smart.  Probably had the whole thing planed out.)

He will be missed.

I am looking forward to tonight's execution of John Allen Muhammad as much as one would look forward to having ones kitchen sprayed for bugs.  I am completely unemotional about the death of this bug person but I know I will sleep better now that it he has been removed from the face of the earth.  I can only hope that he as found peace and forgiveness from a loving god but somehow I doubt that this Jihadest scumbag did.  Good riddance and I hope you get to enjoy a pork chop dinner as you last meal (fed as a suppository).   We must remember that 10 people were removed from the face of the earth prematurely with no chance to finish their lives, talk to their love ones, share one more thought. The will never again hug their children, spouses, or even get the chance to ask for forgiveness from someone.

Thank God for our first responders,  but if someone else was armed than the carnage would have been much more limited. The bad guy always gets the first shot in a "Non War" situation but being armed will almost always help you defend yourself and/or others from a lunatic, or in this case the Jihadist. Almost every person in that room had proven him or herself proficient in the use of firearms and I can not think of a safer location  than to be in the midst of dozens of armed US service men and women. One gun in that room could have saved 12 lives. Same thing in the Virgina murder spree. Fire arms should be in the hands of good people, it saves lives.

It has been reported that Hasan shouted "Allahu Akbar" - God is great - before carrying out the shootings.

Now, what this murdering P.O.S. did was an act of war. He not only violated his oath as an US Officer but his Hippocratic Oath as a medical doctor. After the trial it is my hope that this traitorous murderer hangs from the neck until dead. (And that's only because drowning in a vat of liquefied pork would be considered too unusual)

Fort Hood

I am so deeply saddened and friggin pissed off by what happened at fort hood.  the F-ing scumbag murderer that took the dozen lives did so knowing that he would be unopposed for the most part.  I wish there were just a few side arms present when the "scumbag future hell dweller" started his evil escapade.  Some return fire would have saved lives, but no.  Sarcasm Warning: Not allowed to be able to defend yourself,  it's the American way.  I think it is time to reinstate the practice of at least the officers of our armed forces openly carry loaded side arms at all times.   At most a situation like this should result in two dead , not twelve.  (I will not get into the "religion of peace" just yet but reserve the right.)

American Airlines Baggage Problem

This comes from a good freind.

American Airlines' Response to my Baggage Problem -


Today at 3:35pm

October 21, 2009

Dear Ms. ***name removed***:

I'm sorry you didn't receive your baggage as expected when you traveled with us October 17. We know how frustrating it is for our customers to be without their belongings and we continually look for ways to improve and refine our baggage handling procedures to minimize such experiences.

I know, too, it was disappointing to discover that your belongings were damaged. While we work very hard to avoid these mishaps, unfortunately, they do sometimes occur. However, we don't monitor the status of baggage or handle baggage claims at this office, the responsibility rests entirely with our applicable Baggage Service staff. Accordingly, I have asked our Manager at Jacksonville to review your request. You will be contacted as soon as possible, if our personnel have not already done so. If you prefer, you may contact them directly at 904-741-2487.

While I understand you are seeking reimbursement of the checked baggage charge, I should clarify this is a nonrefundable charge associated with the increased cost of handling and transporting baggage. It is important to us to do our best to transport baggage as expected and I apologize again for the inconvenience you experienced.

Thank you for allowing me to express our viewpoint, Ms. ***name removed*** I am sorry my response could not have been favorable, but hope my explanation will persuade you to give us another chance to provide satisfactory service.

Sincerely,

Tania L. Duggan

I'm So Ronery

For my buddy Chris.

He doesn't hate you,  he's just Ronery..

You are doing it wrong.

Story: Obama says he's looking at any way to create jobs

Barry I hate to tell you this but you are doing it all wrong. The reason unemployment is so high is because job recovery has never in the history of our country been from the top down, it has been from the bottom up.   If jobs are to increase it has to start with small business, not from the government. 

Things are crappy for small business's. Manny are holding on by a thread, those that are doing well can't get loans to expand, upgrade, or employ, and the upstart finds it difficult to get financing.  Small business are being smothered. 

Why? 
First we have to know who and how a small business starts and works.  Most times an entrepreneur will consolidate capital from himself and often from family friends and investors.  Generally this will come out of the equity in a home.  The ability to get this capital is the essential and driving factor for economic growth.

The sub-prime loaning and subsequent crash  has caused the banks to "Pull back" and become totally miserly thus stifling growth. Additionally real estate prices are, well who knows, In flux?

A scenario:
Gus is a small machine shop owner who wants to buy a couple new CNC milling machines, cut costs and shorten the production time for the specialized parts he uses.  He wants to use the equity that was in his house but cant.  His house is still there, it was worth 350K last year and he had 100K in equity then, but now the bank says its worth much less because the two houses down the street were foreclosed on the market changed.  Sorry you cant get the loan. Gus decides to ride it out and see what next year will be like.

What was lost?
The order for the new the machinery was never placed.
The operators were never hired.
The concrete guy never got to pour the floor in the new shop area.
The electrician never got to hook up the machinery.
The shops production remained slow, costs high, and less able to meet customer demands.
The excavator on the "Shovel ready" stimulus project sits idle and broken as the mechanic calls around the country looking for an "In stock"  replacement part that just happens to be manufactured by Gus.


Jobs follow wealth.  (Money is just the currency we use to represent wealth) If Gus was able to increase his wealth by making hydraulic valve bodies quicker and cheaper, it would have increased the wealth of many others.  Not only those mentioned above but even the part supply house.  They may have been able to keep several in stock and available if the parts were cheaper, made a sale and thus increased their wealth.  The construction crew would be more productive.  The roadway they are building open sooner with less congestion, resulting in less fuel used, lesser emissions, and time wasted sitting in traffic.  The result is more wealth for those that use the road.

If the president wants to reduce unemployment he must first figure out how get the small business going again. 

It Is Balloon!

Fox News:  Hunt On for Boy Believed to Have Been in Runaway Balloon That Crashed in Colorado
Yahoo!:  Balloon lands after 6-year-old boy seen getting in

My bet is that he was never in the balloon for these reasons.

No place for the boy to stow away in.
Too small/ not enough lift.  The boy would weigh about 40 pounds.  It would take a pretty good size craft to lift that much.

I hope the kid let it go and is now hiding under the bed.

Why the hell does Snowe belong to the GOP?

With Sen. Olympia Snowe announcing that she is voting for the health care debacle,  (Story:) I find myself wondering why she  or anyone else for that matter consider her a Republican? Please tell me!  I'm dumbfounded! 

I really don' think I have an answer to this question, but what I do know is that the Republican party is not getting one red cent of my money because it supports people like Snowe and McCain.  I will give to individuals based on their merritts, but can no longer blindly shell out $$ to a party that supports these RINO's.  I have grown weary of the Republican Party fund raisers calling with their canned speech Telling me how bad things will be if the Dem's stay in power.  I know that! (And BTW what a shitty platform to have "At least were not Democrats") 

I hope this Healthcare bill crashes and burns and takes those who voted for it out too.

Greg Mortenson


Greg Mortenson grew up on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania from 1958 to 1973. He served as a medic in the U.S. Army in Germany during the Cold War, where he received the Army Commendation Medal.
Mortenson's lifelong interest in mountaineering culminated in a 1993 climb of Pakistan's treacherous K2, the world's second highest mountain. Since then, Mortenson has dedicated his life to promoting education, especially for girls, in remote, often volatile regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Mortensen has established over 58 schools through his nonprofit, Central Asia Institute, which provides education to over 24,000 children (including about 14,000 girls), in areas where children previously had few education opportunities. Mortenson is also the founder of Pennies for Peace, an organization that educates American children about the world beyond their experience and shows them that they can make a positive impact on a global scale, one penny at a time. While not overseas, Mortenson lives in Montana with his wife and two young children. He is the author of "Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace...One School at a Time."

Whisky Tango Foxtrot! President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

AP Story: President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize


Barry was in office for 3 days when he was nominated for the NPP! Well I guess he is just guy number three to receive it because he is not George Bush. (Al gore and Jimmmmy) 
One thing makes sense now.---- Obama dragging his feet in sending troops to Afghanistan. Just can't get the NPP if you are sending troops into battle (from a lefty/progressive view point that is) . 

I have no way of knowing, but in a previous post, Where is the Calvary, I asked: What is the risk to Obama in sending more troops?  What mission will be jeopardized? What are Obama true goals. 

The risk was to Obama himself.
The mission in Jeopardy was receipt of the NPP.
I still don't know what his true goals are but I can guarantee the "mainstream" press will address Barry as "Nobel Peace Prize winner Obama" to give him credibility and gravitas in whatever propaganda story they are promoting.

What is really scary is that it is entirely possible that a United States president may have let his thinking be changed because of his NPP nomination.  (This can also be called manipulation)
      
There are much more worthy candidates out there.........but the left never has to quantify anything. We have not seen any change from Barry that could even warrant a nod from the committee.  If you know of something, please let me know.

Get sum!

Barry money!

Mr. Liberty sends me this:

Story: Whodunit? Sneak attack on U.S. dollar

"I remember an article some months back about how the Government conducted war games not by using our Armies and Navies but by economics. Seems they had a valid concern in conducting these war games. And if I remember correctly China won all of them. What could be a better way to weaken America then through economics? Did our governmet do this intentionally? I don't believe so. I think they were sold a bill of goods that was to tempting to say no to. China and various Middle Eastern countries have bought the majority of Americas debt. If the green back is no longer king then our debt will increase ten fold. It seems few Washingtonians think long term." (ML)

NYC Bllomberg Gun Sting.

Just announced on Fox News that New York City mayor Bloomberg is releasing video of Illegal gun transactions, reportedly "Thousands of dollars worth of loaded Firearms sold at or near a gun show."

Now I am not a big fan of NY gun laws, they are overly restrictive and often misused by officials who have little knowledge of the firearm culture.  Additionally Bloomberg has alligned himself with Chuck "The Schmuck" Schumer on ant gun issues  including suing of gun manufactures.  Article: Clicky Click

My gut feeling that this is being done to coincide with the current Supreme Court McDonald v. Chicago and to muster up public emotion support and possibly influence the court.

Updated!  Daily News Link

Lets break this down, if a person with criminal intent is willing to drive across many states, seek a private dealer and purchase a handgun, for criminal purposes, how would another restrictive law stop him from doing it.  It just would not happen in the gun show.  Luckily most people I have ever met behind the tables at gun shows are simply great people and fall into generally 3 categories,  the Professional Shop Owner/Dealer, the private collector/enthusiast, and the oddity/accessory types.

American thinker: The Trauma of Obama

Article: American thinker: The Trauma of Obama by a psychotherapist and a recovering liberal in Berkeley.

Some snipits to wet your appetite.

"Because I'm a psychotherapist, I'm intrigued by what goes on inside and outside. People not only suffer because of neurotic minds, but because of what people do to us when they abuse their power."

"Yes, there are plenty of people so far into the communist schtick, they would gladly sacrifice their children, their granny, and their life savings for the Left.

But most liberals still want their houses, jobs, Hondas and iPods. When they voted for Obama, they weren't giving a thumbs up for the country to go the way of Ché.

So there's a strange, foreboding vibe in these parts; that creepy feeling you get when you know there's bad news ahead."

Dear Jayne,

I am a 40 year old father of four. I have been married for almost 10 years. When I first started dating my wife (some considerable number of years ago), I began putting beans into a jar every time, ah, to put it delicately, we were together. Contrastingly, when we got married I started taking a bean out every time we were together. Well, now I can't find the jar. I haven't seen it in over a year and it's possible she threw it out. What should I do?

Mmmm, Mmmmm, Mmmm. Drink your own Kool-Aid

Story: Obama's Gitmo blame game

Looks as if Barry is about to throw White house counsel Greg Craig under the bus for missing the self imposed deadline for Closing Club Gitmo.

“To a certain extent, they had drunk a lot of the far-left Kool-aid: that everybody, or most people, at Guantanamo were innocent and shouldn’t be there, and the Bush administration was not working very hard to resolve these issues, and that the issues were fairly easy to resolve once adults who were really committed to doing something about it in charge,” said one Bush official who met with Obama’s aides during the transition on Gitmo. “It became clear to me they had not really done their homework on the details.”







Visit Club Gitmo (Your tropical retreat from the stress of Jihad) at Rush's site.  Oh Yeay!

Where is the Calvery?

I hear from the present administration that we need to hurry on a number of vital issues; such TARP,  The Stimulus Plan,  and  Health Care. It has even been stated that we dont even have time to read the legislation, and these programs must be expedited because the consequences are so dire. (OMG Hurry!)

But, when our military commanders on the ground request more troops the administration demands caution  and review.  Why the hem-hawing?  I ask what is the risk of sending more troops?  What am I missing?

I ask, what are the risks to national security, my men, and stability in the region.  What is the down side of too many troops, but I am thinking like a military person.

But Obama is not thinking this way.  I have yet to fully understand his line of thinking, rational, or logic but I am gaining some insight. In his recent pitch to the Olympic committee he used the word I about a gazillion times (actually I think it was in the twenties). This is unheard of for a US President and for most leaders too.  Most leaders rarely refer to themselves, and if they do, they do it in such a way as to minimize their individuality and to maintain focus on the team.  For example "I want this mission to succeed" vs "This commander wants this mission to succeed"  The over use of the word I by Obama is very telling.  It reveals a narcissism and self importance that would be comical if it wasn't so chilling at the same time. 

So the real questions are:
What is the risk to Obama in sending more troops? 
What mission will be jeopardized?
What are Obama true goals.

I am not sure what the answers are but the result is delay, and delay means the loss of initiative.  With the loss of initiative we become forced to react to our enemy,  we get put on a defencive/reactive posture, and that leads to Allied solders, Afghan security, and civilian lives as well as a campaign lost.

Seems like Mikey isn't feeling so good about the return on his effort from his latest anti-capitalism film. (Ha ha!) And do I feel bad? Nope,  And why?  Could it be the irony?  You bet.    snicker!

Story: http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/bla,bla,bla

Now just a thought, not that I'm advocating doing anything wrong, but what if people happend to show up to see the film but refused to pay for whatever reason. Perhaps maybe because they don't want to support Michael Moore in a capitalistic way. 
 
Now don't worry there is a an antidote if you happen to accidentally watch a Moore film.  I recommend picking up a copy and reading  Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.  (In my humble opinion is one of the most influential books I have ever read .)

I hope he takes a loss on this one, and I bet he blames everyone but himself for it.  snicker!  But if you saw it plase write a review in the comments section.
