SATURNALIA is upon us!!!!

The winter is almost upon us and the weather here was great!!! For a little while. It is going to be cold today. The highest temperature for today is going to be 55F.

The job is going to get busier. As you know the President has increase our commitment to a shit loaded more troops. Those troops will need linguist and that is my business. So you can imagine my smile when I was assured a job for the next few years.

The surge will not commence as of this second but it will take time. So far we are just getting the usual amount of linguist every few days. But I know that is going to increase because of the commitment.

I hope you enjoyed the video from weeks past. Fahim is a very good friend and he loves what he is doing. I still keep in touch and he says that everything is so crazy over there that it will take about 10 years to get it fix to the point that a functional government can be left alone to its people. I think he is being optimistic.

Take care and have a great week.

A very dear friend!

Fahim loves this country as much as I do!!!!
A great American a great patriot, and a great friend.

The great Patriots from the republican party at work.

Catherina Wojtowicz, of Chicago's Mount Greenwood community, an organizer for a Tea Party splinter group, Chicago Tea Party Patriots, falsely claimed that the Houghs fabricated their story. In an e-mail, she called them operatives of President Barack Obama who "go from event to event and (cry) the same story." [...]

The audience, Wojtowicz later explained, was exasperated by stories of isolated tragedies that cloud debate over the health care bill itself.




Catherina Wojtowicz another BATSHITCRAZY Bitch from the far right. A christian woman that live christian values. If you want to know more about this crazy bitch, just google it and you will see the excrement the republican party has digested by catering to the trash in our trailer parks.

Glenn Beck never answered the charges against him!!!

Another weekend is upon us.

Good Morning to all..... There is nothing better that the silence of the early morning, a hot cup of coffee and having the whole house to yourself.
Have a great weekend.

What a day

Tired, ready to go to bed.... Just a few pics from a relaxing few minutes doing nothing.

I hate myself

Yes, I hate Windows 7. I was in love with the Operating System that Microsoft had advertised as the cure to Vista but it has come to be as expensive, if not more, that the Piece of Shit (POS) Vista.

I was going to buy it, the whole thing... but when I saw the price, I saw the Monopoly that Microsoft has on the market.

Do you remember when the Silicon breast implants were exploding and making women sick? Then the industry came with saline implants and the doctors were charging even more to take out the defective ones to replace them.

Yeap, Vista was a solid POS that could have been a great Operating System. The reason that it became a solid POS was because the first computers that were sold with Vista came with the minimum amount of memory. The computers took so long to boot and once loaded with applications they became super slow.
I am starting to use Linux. Ubuntu and Sabayon are my favorites.

I have three computers at home running Linux. Windows can kiss my hot Hispanic and waxed ass!!!!

Another beautiful day in the south

Another long week, working hard and feeling that I am wasting my life.
It has been almost 4 years since I heard a shot fired on the battle field and I MISS IT. Remember that when I was in Iraq, I was complaining about it, now I miss it so much that I am considering applying for a job in Colombia as a trainer for their army.
It started as a beautiful day, cool and sunny, then it went to clouds and rain. I love the rain and I love to drink coffee while watching the rain.

Just wanted to say hello today. Here are some pictures from the websites I visit.

Why do Republicans hate America?

by Goldy

The proud citizens of Brazil weren’t the only ones celebrating Rio’s selection as the host of the 2016 Summer Olympics; American conservatives apparently held an impromptu Carnival of their own:

When the International Olympic Committee voted against Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Olympics this morning — after the President and First Lady flew to Copenhagen to push for it in person — the Weekly Standard newsroom burst into applause.

“Cheers erupt at Weekly Standard world headquarters,” wrote editor John McCormack in a post titled “Chicago Loses! Chicago Loses!” … McCormack’s fellow conservatives joined in the celebration…

“Chicago and Tokyo eliminated. No Obamalypics,” Michelle The ugly Malkin tweeted, following up with, “Game over on Obamalympics. Next up, Obamacare.”

“Please, please let me break this news to you. It’s so sweet,” said The Rapist and murderer Glenn Beck on his radio show.

“Hahahahaha,” wrote Red State’s Erick Erickson. … The Drudge Report announced the news like so: “WORLD REJECTS OBAMA: CHICAGO OUT IN FIRST ROUND. THE EGO HAS LANDED.”

“For those of you … who are upset that I sound gleeful, I am. I don’t deny it. I’m happy,” The drug addict and draft dodger Limbaugh said. “Anything that gets in the way of Barack Obama accomplishing his domestic agenda is fine with me.”

“ChicagP\/\/n3D!” tweeted Newsmax, of recent fame for running, then pulling, a column about an impending military coup against Obama.

Yup, conservative Republicans really do hate America. Or perhaps, as TPM’s Josh Marshall astutely quipped, right-wingers just don’t consider Chicago to be part of America?

For those contemplating retirement, some useful info...

While there no perfect place, there is something for everyone.... I can validate the Midwest portion. You can meet famous people, but you have to go somewhere else to do it. Of course, you can also buy an expansive demesne nearly the size of Central Park for what half a duplex will cost you in California.
Where to Live After Retirement
You can live in Phoenix, Arizona where.....
1. You are willing to park 3 blocks away because you found shade.
2. You've experienced condensation on your butt from the hot water in the toilet bowl.
3. You can drive for 4 hours in one direction and never leave town.
4. You have over 100 recipes for Mexican food.
5. You know that "dry heat" is comparable to what hits you in the face when you open your oven door.
6. The 4 seasons are: tolerable, hot, really hot, and ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!

You can Live in California where...
1. You make over $250,000 and you still can't afford to buy a house.
2. The fastest part of your commute is going down your driveway.
3. You know how to eat an artichoke.
4. You drive your rented Mercedes to your neighborhood block party.
5. When someone asks you how far something is, you tell them how long it will take to get there rather than how many miles away it is.
6. The 4 seasons are: Fire, Flood, Mud, and Drought.

You can Live in New York City where...
1. You say "the city" and expect everyone to know you mean Manhattan.
2. You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Columbus Circle to Battery Park, but can't find Wisconsin on a map.
3. You think Central Park is "nature,"
4. You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language makes you multi-lingual.
5. You've worn out a car horn.
6. You think eye contact is an act of aggression.

You can Live in Maine where...
1. You only have four spices: salt, pepper, ketchup, and Tabasco.
2. Halloween costumes fit over parkas.
3. You have more than one recipe for moose.
4. Sexy lingerie is anything flannel with less than eight buttons.
5. The four seasons are: almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction.

You can Live in the Deep South where...
1. You can rent a movie and buy bait in the same store.
2. "y'all" is singular and "all y'all" is plural.
3. "He needed killin'" is a valid defense.
4. Everyone has 2 first names: Billy Bob, Jimmy Bob, Mary Sue, Betty Jean, MARY BETH, etc.

You can live in Colorado where...
1. You carry your $3,000 mountain bike atop your $500 car.
2. You tell your husband to pick up Granola on his way home and he stops at the day care center.
3. A pass does not involve a football or dating.
4. The top of your head is bald, but you still have a pony tail.

You can live in the Midwest where...
1. You've never met any celebrities, but the mayor knows your name.
2. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor.
3. You have had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" on the same day.
4. You end sentences with a preposition: "Where's my coat at?"
5. When asked how your trip was to any exotic place, you say, "It was different!"

OR, You can live in Florida where..
1. You eat dinner at 3:15 in the afternoon.
2.. All purchases include a coupon of some kind -- even houses and cars.
3. Everyone can recommend an excellent dermatologist.
4. Road construction never ends anywhere in the state.
5. Cars in front of you are often driven by headless people.


ADDENDUM:

In Phoenix, instead of an umbrella for rain, you have to carry a pot holder to open your door.
Instead of running your car for 15 minutes with the heater on to warm it up, you have to run it for 15 minutes with the A/C running just so you can sit int he seat, touch the belt buckle or steering wheel.
and, don't touch the windows or lean against the car because you can get 2nd degree burns. (personal experience)


Or you can live in Southeast Alaska where:
1. Summer high temperatures above about 70 degrees absolutely require A/C.
2. Eleven straight days of half to an inch of rain daily is just eleven days.
3. You measure distances by ferry hours or Alaska Air mileage plans.
4. You don't mind sharing the streets of your small town (pop. 14,000) with 870,000 visitors off of cruise ships.
5. You can live in a real community, with real people, with all the problems, and still feel good about it.

Then there is the weather shifts.
70 degrees one day, then a blizzard, then back to 70s.
I celebrated a white Christmas in Denver while on leave after my first deployment. My leave started 15 May, yet I had 72 degrees for my birthday on the 21st...
In the neck of the woods my Arkansas relatives live in, Grim, "y'all" is multi-purpose, singular and plural, and "all y'all" is only plural.
Where I grew up in Texas, y'all is always plural, never singular. "All y'all" is bad grammar...
Well, John, that's because, despite being populated with rednecks, Arkansas is not deep-south. :-)
Heck, West Tennessee doesn't count in my book. When you order Tea and they don't just assume you mean Sweet Tea, you can no longer claim that you are a part of the South.
Now that was funny y'all. I've lived north-central, Midwest, south, Florida, Texas, CA, and I was raised in Philly and on the Jersey Coast. There is just so much truth there that it’s amazing...

But I would like to point out to Idon Wannano that to me, everywhere below Wilmington, DE is the South, and the 'deep' south is everything in a box roughly cornered by Kansas City, Beaumont, Jacksonville, and Alexandria. Everything left of Kansas City and North of D/FW is "The Blank Spot States" until one gets to "Out West," which starts at New Mexico and Ends at the CA Border (all of it). And of course, I live in what I consider the Texico Plains (San Antonio)....

P.S. One could also live on Oahu (done that, hated it),where your county is all the land there is and where if you drive more than 20 miles in a straight line, you need scuba gear (but they have THREE interstate highways and a loop!!); where directions are often given in terms of wind-direction; where flowered shirts, shorts, and the good flip-flops are semi-formal wear; where everyone is a brudda, even us haolis; where everything is imported, but there are NO snakes, just mongooses (it's an odd story); and where people eat this stuff called poi that makes first grade craft paste seem downright tasty by comparison.
