    A marine says “No, Ma’am” to Sen. Feinstein in an open letter:

    Senator Dianne Feinstein,
    I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the government’s right to know what I own. Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection yet decry me having the same a crime. You ma’am have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps Veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one.
    I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America.
    I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man.
    I will not be disarmed to suit the fear that has been established by the media and your misinformation campaign against the American public.
    We, the people, deserve better than you.
    Respectfully Submitted,
    Joshua Boston

    Warren Jeffs strikes again -telling followers to prepare for “end of the world” tonight.
    What WILL it take for his followers to get a clue? Maybe when the world wakes up to the next sunrise?
    But will his followers be here? I hope that there hasn’t been any major shipments of Kool-Aid ™ to their compounds lately.

    HItlery is back in the hospital with a blood clot(s) and it is not know where these clot(s) exist. I do not think we will hear Hitlery testify on the Benghazi Bungle for quite some time, if ever. If the Rs has any sense about them at all (which is in serious doubt) they would make sure that this lack of transparency and refusal to testify hangs around her neck like a rotting albatross and she is driven from politics for ever.

    I am not one for conspiracy theories but to my skeptical eye, this Hillary thing stinks to high heaven. Over the years when a Demoratic elder hatesperson falls ill there is always weeks of coverage on that persons condition. Not this time with Hill. She supposedly fell down and went boom. Okay. Waiting. Then things got silent about her. We have been inundated with Bush 1 updates since his illness bested him way back in November. Something just does not “feel” right with this….. and I am not at all surprised.

    These two boys are friends of one of my nephews. Pray that they made it to the shore and are just trying to find their way out of the swamps. This lake is so thick with gators you could walk across the lake on their backs and never get your feet wet.

    Now you know I was not complaining about your superior access. Certainly not after having to look up caducity, and finding it means “the infirmity or weakness of old age; senility”
    But you got me with AHIP: ???

    For those making over $400K there will definitely be a tax increase. For the rest of us, there will definitely be an O-Care tax increase for openers, and then the trickle down tax increase to follow.

    “Never kick a fresh turd.”
    Reminds me of something my brother used to tell me: “I wouldn’t s**t you, you’re my favorite turd.”

    Office help’s printer died last week, and all attempts to resuscitate it failed. I went to Staples (where I shop now instead of Office Depot, they ticked me off some time back with a foray into politics that was unnecessary), and found a deal on an Epson printer with two paper trays and a document feeder. It was a closeout deal, originally priced for over $250, shelf priced at $139, checkout priced at $89.
    Office Help is delirious that she can now make copies of our job packets without doing it one page at a time. Sometimes those things can be 10-15 pages, what with permits, locate notifications, bids/revisions, etc.

    Weโ€™re toast.

    So all of this fiscal trouble we’re in is because we HAVE been adhering to The Constitution? I’d think it was a spoof piece, but noticed it was NYT. I guess absurdity is just par for the course with them any more. “Toast” is right.

    On another note, I’d like to dedicate this tune to our heroes in Washington for trying to save us from going over the cliff even though I was looking forward to going over.

    Here we are on the last day of the year. Has anyone ever wondered why the calendar is how it is? The shortest day of the year is Dec 21, one would think that would be a reasonable stop/start point, or the longest day in June, but no, we wait 10 more days?!? from the shortest day (in the northern hemisphere), why? To arbitrarily choose a day 10 days after the shortest day seems to me to be, well, rather arbitrary.

    Good New Year’s Day morning Hamsters. Rainy, breezy, and down to 49 at 9, misery index is high and likely to remain so all day. Some in the neighborhood managed to set off their fireworks last night during the breaks in the rain, mostly between 7-9 before the heavy stuff rolled through. Not as much activity to be heard around midnight by which time we had turned in. Not much fire hazard fortunately.
    Stay warm and dry by the TV today watching wall to wall bowl games. Not a day fit for man nor beast outside. Rose Bowl at 4 this afternoon has our attention. Go Badgers.
