Heh.

Seeing that last post was a bit negative. I needed something to push back to the normal funny that’s found around here.

So, I thought I’d link to this.

A thought: Who the heck eats in a restaurant with their laptop, next to their food?!?! 😯  Ugh.

Most be a regional thing or a geeky thing. Because when I’m munching, you know; like this? I tend to put my laptop away, as not to get food on it and in it. 🙄

Either way, I thought the pictures were great and I thought I’d link to them.

Quotable Quote:

BTW Stacy’s shot is at my usual table at the restaurant but for two blogging we needed a bigger table.

…and him being a big guy had zero to do with it, right?(…and believe you me, I speak’a from’a experience here!)

There is a river called “da Nile. 😉

At least RSM and ‘Da old guy took their hats off! 😛

 

UPDATED – Will Wilkinson: Drug-Addled leftist?

Posted on1 Comment

First of all, I have nothing personal against Donald Douglas. However, I feel this to be a bit nasty:

I saw this Will Wilkinson piece earlier and read it all: “A Libertarian’s Lament: Why Ron Paul Is an Embarrassment to the Creed.” I didn’t bother commenting on it because Wilkinson’s not worth it. He’s a drug-addled leftist, IMHO, and a pretty much typical libertarian. So, what do you know, but American Glob has picked up the slack, “In Which I Respectfully Disagree With Will Wilkinson” (via Glenn Reynolds):

via American Power: Libertarians and Democrats.

 

Firstly, let me say this; I have not always agreed with Will Wilkinson either.  Wilkinson is an uncompromising libertarian and I respect the man for that.  However, I feel that Donald Douglas is being a bit nasty here.  With this logic, I could be considered a “Drug-Addled” leftist as well.  I did smoke my share of weed back in the 1990’s when I was living a bit crazier than I do now.  Not only that, I also voted Democrat for most of my young life, that is until 2008, when I decided that the “Herd Mentality” was not going to cut it anymore.

What I am saying here is simply this; as someone who has flung my share of manure at the left in the past and at the right a few years back — having an opinion is cool and I do not dare try to stifle that at all.  However, using this sort of over-simplified logic is not only silly, it cheapens the debate and it discredits the right-wing Blogosphere.  Not only that, but Douglas is also venturing into libel territory.  I mean, it is one thing to say that Wilkinson is wrong and here is why; but it is another entirely to insinuate that the man has a drug problem and because of that, he cannot think clearly.  One is expressing your opinion; the other is making a wild accusation that could get you sued.

Again, I am not picking on Douglas, and I hope he does not get angry.  I just wish that our side, whatever stripe that they might happen to be; would use a little bit more thought into their blog postings.  I did bust Don’s chops a bit in his comment section.  I could yowl on about Douglas being a “big government” Conservative, as most Neo-Cons are, but that is not the point.  The point is, that slams like this, do nothing more our side at all.  If we are going to sling poo, sling it at the other side — not at a sublet within our own ranks.

Update: It seems that Donald Douglas is taking this personally and made it about me. He responded in the comments of his blog, linking to post defaming me. So, this discussion is over. There two columns of Conservatives; ones that I like and ones who do not like me and I do not like and do not link to. Douglas is now in that second column now. As a parting shot, no damned wonder there are people trying to get him fired from his job.

3 am thoughts from the iPod

It’s 3:00am and I cannot sleep worth a darn. So, I thought I’d write here for a few.

A few news items:

Goldsilver.com has moved it’s affiliate program out to a third party company. What does that mean for you? Nothing. Same product and company. What does it mean for me? More money, I hope. So, click that big banner on the left and buy the hell out of gold and silver too please. It helps!

(please do know, if you’ve bought already; one that I appreciate the heck outta ya and two, yes it has gone for a very good cause. I have not, in months now, had to ask my parents to help me buy my medication for ADHD. That, in itself is a very awesome thing. That medication, which has now went up over $40.00; keeps my rather small pea brain in gear and my mental accordion in tune. (so to speak) again thanks! You guys keep me going. )

More suppliers for Ammo added: some of you emailed me a while back and said that you thought ImpactGuns was too pricy on ammo. For once, I was listening. So, I have added three (!) new suppliers for ammo. They are on the left, in the sidebars. I figure you cheapskates can find some ammo for your “pop pop” at those links, that won’t break your piggy bank. You can get “pop pop’s” too from Impact Guns. Remember, it goes for a very cause! It keeps me off the Government dole and out my parents wallet, as much possible.

Donations via paypal rock. Those of you who done it are awesome. You know who you are!

My bookstore is awesome, and you should check it out.

Jeff “goldenboy” Goldstein is still an prick… as are his sock puppets. Some goes for Ace. But that chick that was stalking Jeff? She is whacked! still doing stuff to get into trouble! Holy hell! I mean, I’ve done share of crap stirring but man, she takes the stuff to another level!

No hyperlinks. Sorry, too much of a pain on this iPod.

I made a contact with a very well known black Christian singer from the 1980’s on the ham radio box today. He’s been on PTL club and Gaither home coming videos. Last name is Harris. worked him on morse code. I was “star struck” as they say, felt like I worked Elvis.

September 11 is coming. 10 years now. We as a nation have changed. I did, everyone did. I thought about doing a “rake those #%^%#*# over the coals” type of a post, but I figure that’s what those idiots want. so, I’ll most likely just either refrain from posting at all or do a simple remembrance posting…. Maybe.

The problem with 9/11 is that it became this whole thing unto itself; and both sides —- use it as a wedge issue. Which is sickening, IMHO.

Well, enough yammering from me. More posting soon, when I wake up.
