Quagmire
Quagmire.........A word that has been used ad nauseum in the MSM lately. It is calculated attempt to conjure the ghosts of American failure, namely that last bastion of Liberal triumph, Vietnam. We have seen the rise in its use to define American presence in Iraq, the turning point in what the left describes as "The unwanted and unjust war of GWB." (For oil) What exactly is a quagmire? What if the American dead were say......Ten times that amount?
What if 21,900 Americans had been killed since September 11, 2001? Would there be huge demonstrations, calls for impeachment, and criminal investigations? According to THIS article that is precisely what has happened.
Where is the righteous indignation and moral outrage? This army has invaded our homeland and no one in Government gives a damn. 45,000 potential terrorist released here and we still have open borders and no solution. Our representatives argue over semantics and refuse to address any real issues like Crime.
Quagmire indeed......When will talk about withdrawal of the 12,000,000 Mexican army that occupies the United States?

Bringing Back Nose Art
November 29, 2006:
"Two retired U.S. Air Force sergeants (Glenn Parker and T.P. Westbrook) are trying to revive the lost custom of affixing "nose art" to warplanes. From World War II, through the 1950s, U.S. combat aircraft often had customized, and unofficial, cartoons or insignia painted on the front portion of their aircraft. The illustrations were usually created by someone on the ground crew, and personalized the aircraft for the crew. It boosted morale. But in the mid-1950s, air force commanders decreed that the nose art was "unprofessional," and by the 1970s most of it was gone. It managed to survive in some reserve units, but was forbidden for active duty aircraft. The air force says the official reasons for the policy has to do with security and "sanitation." Basically, it's become part of the air force traditions not to have nose art. So the two retired sergeants have enlisted the help of two professional artists (Mickey Harris and Dru Blair), both with backgrounds in painting on metal and depicting aircraft. Some senior air force commanders are favorably disposed towards nose art, and the air force is keen to boost morale, now that the air force is going through a period of personnel retrenchment (cutting 40,000 people) and tight budgets. Allowing nose art would not cost anything, as it would be voluntary, and up to units to find artists and materials for creating it. But like bureaucracies everywhere, changing something like this can be difficult."

Because It Is Just
Too Good To Pass Up.
I told one of my neighbors up in Elk Springs I wanted to go squirrel hunting next spring.......maybe, maybe not. I just love this picture that I stole from here
Not blogging much lately. Watching the world gone to hell in a handbasket does not inspire me to pontificate much.

Gift Ideas?
My Friend Mike in Baghdad
Are you looking for Holiday gift ideas? How about helping out at Books For Soldiers and send a package or letter to a soldier. The following was from a letter I received from Mike:
"I just came back to my trailer after being out in the middle of Baghdad for
5 hot and miserable days to find a package for me from Tucson, Arizona.
This package struck me as a little unusual because my Aunt & Uncle in
Sedona, Arizona are the only people that I know in your state. I proceeded
to opent the box to find it stuffed with all sorts of goodies. As I dug
deeper, I found the "A Walk In the Woods" book and the Bill Bryson Cd. So,
I am guessing that you are associated with that "Books for Soldiers" program
that my friend told me about.
Regardless, I want to take a minute to thank you. Thank you from the bottom
of my heart. I can't to begin to tell you how miserable these last 5 days
were. My mood quickly changed after recieving the book that I've been
wanting to read from total strangers in Arizona. I guess there are some
good people left out there after all. Your package has done more than lift
my spirits. It also brought a smile to my face and I quickly emailed my Mom
to tell her about the kindness of the XXXXX family. While being here is
questionable, it is good to know that we haven't been forgotten. Sometimes
it is pretty easy to feel like we have been but then people like you all
help remind us that we haven't been.
Well, I'll let you go. Feel free to drop me an email every now and then. I
will talk to you later. Take care and God Bless."
Love,
Mike
Trust me, the effort is well worth it and it really means so much those who give so much. Thank you.

Mooselimb Mayhem in Minneapolis
I took the liberty to translate THIS article for all my readers to clear up who really was involved:
6 Mooselimbs Removed From Twin Cities Flight
Nov 21 1:42 AM US/Eastern
By STEVE KARNOWSKI
Associated Press Writer
MINNEAPOLIS
"Six Goat Fuckers were removed from a US Airways flight at Minneapolis- St. Paul International Airport on Monday and questioned by police for several hours before being released, a leader of the group said.
The six were among passengers who boarded Flight 300, bound for Phoenix, around 6:30 p.m., airport spokesman Pat Hogan said.
A passenger initially raised concerns about the group through a note passed to a flight attendant, according to Andrea Rader, a spokeswoman for US Airways. She said police were called after the captain and airport security workers asked the Goat Fuckers to leave the plane and the men refused.
"They took us off the plane, humiliated us in a very disrespectful way," said Omar Shahin, of Phoenix.
The six Goat Fuckers were returning from a conference in Minneapolis of the North American Imams Federation, said Shahin, president of the group. Five of them were from the Phoenix-Tempe area, while one was from Bakersfield, Calif., he said.
Three of them stood and said their normal evening prayers together on the plane, as 1.7 billion members of the "Religion of Death" around the world do every day, Shahin said. He attributed any concerns by passengers or crew to ignorance about Islam.
"I never felt bad in my life like that," he said. "I never. Six imams. Six Goat Fuckers in this country. Six scholars in handcuffs. It's terrible."
Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, expressed anger at the detentions.
"CAIR will be filing a complaint with relevant authorities in the morning over the treatment of the Goat Fuckers to determine whether the incident was caused by anti-Mooselimb hysteria by the passengers and/or the airline crew," Hooper said. "Because, unfortunately, this is a growing problem of singling out Goat Fuckers or people perceived to be Terrorist at airports, and it's one that we've been addressing for some time."
Hooper said the meeting drew about 150 Goat Fuckers from all over the country, and that those attending included U.S. Rep.-elect Keith Ellison, D-Minneapolis, who just became the first Mooselimb elected to Congress. Shahin said they went as far as notifying police and the FBI about their meeting in advance.
Shahin expressed frustration that _ despite extensive efforts by him and other Goat fuckers since even before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks _ so many Americans know so little about the" Religion of Death".
"If up to now they don't know about prayers, this is a real problem," he said.
Reached by cell phone just after his release, Shahin said he didn't know where they would spend the night or how they would try to get back to Phoenix on Tuesday. Hooper said US Airways refused to put the men on another flight.
Hogan said more information would likely be released Tuesday.
The other passengers on the flight, which was carrying 141 passengers and five crew members, were re-screened for boarding, Rader said. The plane took off about three hours after the men were removed from the flight. "

Come on! Do any of you really believe that this incident was not contrived to provoke this response? Wanna bet that this Mooselimb had a hand in this? It is very difficult to explain why American citizens may feel nervous around members of the "Religion of Death" when there has been such a massive outpouring of condemnation and wholesale outrage at the way many Mooselimbs behave. Oh wait....... I forgot they have not said a fucking thing! "I never felt bad in my life like that", well let me tell you buddy I feel bad like that every time I have to go through airport security because you sumbitches killed three thousand innocent men, women, and children.
This is how Mooselimbs treat non-believers, so if you don't like how you get treated when you are in America, GO BACK HOME to the flea bitten shithole sandbox whence you came........
Wait there is more, it seems that CAIR may call for a Boycott of US Air. Cool! Does that mean we can bypass all the security bullshit if we fly US Air?

Here Comes Santa Claus
Washing machine for cats and dogs
"The co-inventors of the Lavakan, Eduardo Segura and Andrés Diaz, decided in 1998 that their dogs deserved the same treatment that humans get from a shower massage. The side-loading automatic pet washing machine, is safer and less stressful for the animals than washing them by hand. It soaps, rinses and dries dogs and cats in less than half an hour. It has a series of conical nozzles that wash and massage beasts from every direction, while dirty and soapy waste is filtered through a hose at the bottom. Operators use the Lavakan's touch panel to choose the best wash cycle for the animal's size and dermatological needs. Pesticide soaps, for example, require an extended wait period to kill fleas and ticks."
Nine More gift ideas that I bet nobody else will come up with..........

She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy
This musical instrument is made almost completely from John Deere tractor parts ............Simply amazing
"This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the University of Iowa . Amazingly, 97% of the machines components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation equipment of Bancroft Iowa , yes farm equipment!
It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment, calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can see it was WELL worth the effort.
It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian. ... "
UPDATE: Guess it is CGI, thats right just animation, cool animation though.
UPDATE 2:SNOPES debunks it.......

Swamp Thing
I am very disappointed that Jack Murtha got wacked today. I wanted him up in the front row with Harry, Nancy, and Carl. The circumvention of Pelosi means they ain't as stoopid as I hoped. We need the democrats like Harry Reid to be in the limelights saying stuff like this. I want all the John Kerryesque buffonery to keep on coming. If the hatchet falls on Dean in the next few weeks it means they might really want to retain power this time.
What amazes me is all the astonished Republicans that can't figure out why they did not hear the screaming from the silent majority. Immigration, out of control spending, and ridiculous free trade policies did more damage than the war in Iraq. The Republicans had the opportunity to lay waste to the Democrats once and for all and they squandered it like trailer trash with lotto winnings.
Our only hope is a return to conservative values and the self-destruction of the arrogant, myopic liberals. The do after all know what is best for us.

If He Catches You
.............You're through! After forty years of living in the southwest, I finally hit a Roadrunner.
Not one of these
No not one of these either
One of these
A real Roadrunner, the New Mexico state bird. One who obviously refused to obey the laws of Physics and got mushed under six tons of rolling truck and trailer. I tried to miss him but, the second trailer axle reduced him feathers and yuck. Roadrunner! If he catches you you're through! I now know it's true.......
America's Most Wanted
Well I never thought I would say this but my son was on America's Most Wanted yesterday.........No he was not the feature player just one of the "Good Samaritans". He is the big kid wearing the white hat, he helps lift the car of the security guard. The man was saved but eventually died of complications from the injuries. This happened last year at a local mall. Click the picture.
