CALL ME A REDNECK...I RECKON THAT I AM...

(CHARLIE DANIELS)

Hey I'm back...Wow, been watching the news and I can't believe how the familys of the Virginia Tech victims must be feeling today. A friend of mine went there, but graduated last year. On a side note, there were a bunch of copy-cat threats at several different schools today. I've got two words for the idiots making those threats. PUBLIC CANING. Some people just need some sense beat into them. As a second best, I'd be willing to turn my mama loose on them with a switch. It's effective for curing some nonsense...trust me.

The other issue I'm taking with the "news" is the focus on gun control. I remember when the Lubys cafeteria shooting went down. My roommate at the times dad was an ex-cop, and I remember him saying "If my dad had been there, that wouldn't have happened". That's because Mr B doesn't leave his house without his trusty Sig Sauer. If I was a liberal (or if my brain had withered to the size of a dried pea) I would be hoping like anything nobody would mention gun control. I mean, this place HAD gun control. That's why feces for brains knew beyond a doubt he'd be the only one in the house with a gun until the cops got there. That's a lot of opportunity for a crazy person, and guess what New York Times, there's some crazy people out there. Y'all should know, check the payroll. You know the scariest part just hit me this morning. Here's a pristine example of the position these no-brain liberals would have the whole blame country in given half a chance. Here in the South we call it SITTING DUCKS. No thanks. I'm going to have to side with Ted Nugent on this one... Cocked, locked, and ready to rock doc. Right on...

Barack Hussein Obama

Just in case anybody thought I was a fan of this moron...So I was listening to the radio the other day and heard sound clips of Obama addressing a college crowd, stating that we are in a war that should never have been waged, and that to date, over three thousand American lives have been "wasted". Well pardon me sir, I've always believed that opposing dictators, defending freedom, and PROTECTING OUR OWN, was a noble cause. I will continue to believe that those lives were GIVEN by selfless heroes, something you obviously know nothing about. I will also continue to believe that for one person to OWN another person is intrinsically immoral. Our own Civil War got pretty bloody from what I've read. Was it worth it? There's a reason the good folks in Holland doesn't all speak German. Should Americans have just minded their own business? You want the troops to come home tomorrow. I want them to WIN. Would you rather fight terrorists in Atlanta, and Houston, and Seattle? Brilliant!

AL GORE LIED...PEOPLE DIED

Hey, here's an inconvenient truth for ya, it's been freezing here in the great state of Tennessee for nearly a month. I heard on the radio that seven people across the country have died from the severe cold. They are predicting snow for tomorrow night. The way I see it, snow has it's place...in the mountains. Ok, maybe on the ground Christmas morning if you must. I actually heard a guy talking about the ice storms in Oklahoma and blaming it on "global warming". Did I miss something? Granted it's been a while, but I was sure I passed science class, and I don't remember any mention of "warming" producing FREEZING.

WINTER VACATION

So I had a few days off between jobs and I decided to head over to the Smokey Mountains for a long weekend. I booked a "cabin" online and headed over Thursday morning. Now it's hard to tell a lot about a place online as it turns out. The "cabin" turned out to be more like a upscale A-frame apartment in a upscale A-frame apartment community. The "wooded view" was breathtaking until you looked past the woods at the totally run down trailer park with garbage literally spilling down the other side of the "valley". Overall it was very relaxing but by this morning I was having serious computer withdrawals and approaching boredom. I think next time I take a trip I'll head out west and see some PEOPLE...

JOE BIDEN...AND ANOTHER REASON TO DESPISE THIS IDIOT

I first became aware of Joe Biden (Dem. Delaware) last summer. He seemed to be on the PBS weekend news all the time. At every opportunity, he would run down the current administration, and I'm sure he used the term "failed policy" more than Eddie Murphy used the other f-word in all of the eighties. He never seemed to have any plan, he was just really good at running down the president. So today, after just recently announcing his run for presidency, he really steps in it. When asked about Barack Obama, he said and I quote, “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” WHAT????? Can you imagine what Kanye West and Jesse Jackson would do if President Bush had said that? It's crazy! What, does Condoleezza Rice look dirty? Does Colin Powell strike you as unintelligent? I have black friends who I happen to know bathe every day. Clean??? What's next senator, fried chicken and watermelon? Way to go you ignorant, condescending bigot. I find that offensive, and I don't even like Obama. He's inexperienced and a democrat. But that's just me...

CLASSIC CAR PIC

I've always been a fan of classic Chevrolets and stuff.

HUMEROUS PIC FROM A BASS FORUM

Saw this pic at a bass player forum site. It was titled "Why I Hate Country Music" Hi, my name is Kenny Chesney.

Too funny. I'm not sure Waylon Jennings would have considered that "country" music anyway...

PET PEEVES PT.1

So I found myself sitting in an orientation meeting the other day. Out of ten people, three of them felt obligated to chew and pop their chewing gum as if to the keep the world turning. I can't think I'm the only person in the world who finds this incredibly annoying. I mean, it's like eating with your mouth wide open but better. At least when your eating something, eventually you swallow it and the suffering ends. Gum, on the other hand, can last for hours. I'd rather sit next to someone with bad breath and BO smoking a cheap damp cigar and blowing smoke in my general direction, than have my central nervous system attacked by that incessant chomp/pop noise. Am I over reacting??? I just can't think of anything that says I have bad manners and no class better than eating with your mouth open for three hours, but that's just me. Yes, party of one for the non gum popping section please...
