Never Been Able To Understand This Logic

A couple days ago a tornado ripped up a town on the front range leaving one dead and caused other damage as you can imagine. Two churches will hold a tent service tomorrow.
"The worship service will focus on praising God for His amazing protection over the lives of the people in the community during the storm"
Always after a catastrophe there is rhetoric such as this. It makes no sense to me and I question if those that say and believe this way have any reasoning abilities at all. I am sorry for your misfortune and have contributed to the relief effort but seriously the reality is there was no being controlling this event and if there was they sent this to you. Trying to be half ass nice here but this shit gets so damn old.

We Got War Pigs Again

The anti war songs of the sixties continue to have merit today. How fucked up is that 40 years later? We have not learned as a society and with certainty the powers in charge don't care to learn because as Black Sabbath points out they are WAR PIGS!
The pictures on this video are powerful.

Senate War Whores

WASHINGTON - The Senate plans to vote Thursday on providing $165 billion to fund Pentagon operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, under a deal that likely would doom billions of dollars in domestic programs.

Excerpts from the house of whores

But it would likely kill money for 13 weeks of additional unemployment benefits

The plan by Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., would also provide for passage of Bush's funding request without restrictions on his conduct of the Iraq war.


Republicans are expected to block a Democratic plan to urge Bush to begin redeployment of combat troops

Reading this early this morning pisses me off so badly but why should I be? This is what these sonsofbitches have done from the very beginning. Of course the Repugs will block this or that until they get what they want and the Dims will say don't use any lube I like it like that. Bushmeister sits back getting wood because the killing will continue.

Then this too where 8 civilians are killed including two kids. That's just fine for those that make the votes as they are not ours. We are so screwed!

Look the fuck out cause we ain't seen nothing yet.

The Design In Mind Is Literally Brain Rape

Saw this at Pharyngula. The religious crazys have been at this for a long time but are a bunch of conniving bastards for sure. If what you claim is true why do you need to be so clandestine which the video in an interesting way shows.. Bothers me that 47% of HS biology teachers believe human beings developed over millions of years and that God guided the process. Yikes!

I will say that and for lack of a better term a spirit interacted with me over a period of some ten minutes while living in West Africa. Scared shitless and happy as hell the sonofabitch never came back. Probably didn't like a white boy moving into the neighborhood or something like that who the fuck knows. Sure as hell wasn't a God but on matters such as this there is no bull shitting going on not even a little bit. Take it to the bank!

Easy Henry

You're going to break the gavel if you're not careful. Bang that goddamn thing harder like over the head of that Rove porker. This is worth watching just to see Henry show he ain't taking any shit. I like this guy but wish he'd do more but think he is hampered by the Justice Dept.

A Few Things

One of yesterday's posts was about an Iraq veteran who committed suicide taking his brother with him. Yesterday the Field Negro writes of his brother-in-law doing the same last weekend.
We share links but when shit like this happens it seems this hit is closer to home. Sick shit all of this is. Sorry for you and the families Field.
You dirty bastards!

If you read this from Crooks and Liars a story from Texas that is all about voter suppression that is happening in many states. For anyone to think that this election is in the bag at any level is being naive. I have not had a good feeling ever about the election ever. Look the fuck out and no matter what it is interesting and history in the making.

US violated Venezuela air space
As if things aren't screwed up enough let's fuck with Hugo that's always good fodder as the media needs to keep the villain image alive and well just in case chimpy feels in his gut action needs to be taken to protect the Amerikan people.

McCain: Obama's Iran remarks show inexperience
McChimp compares Iran to the old Soviet Union among several other quips that illustrate that the candle flame is very low for this man who I at one time respected. Give him a bit for his service to our country but it's difficult to even do that given what comes out of his mouth. Way too scary.

Another Reason These Bastards Need To Be Strung Up

PTSD Marine Kills Brother, Self

Four tours in Iraq and a personal pat on the back from the Chimp in Charge but still these vets continue to kill themselves at insanely high levels because help is not there. Of course the military does not like to diagnose PTSD as it just doesn't look good on their resume.

This is crazy fucking shit with no end in sight for this madness. One of the worst downsides of invading and then occupying another country on lies. These killers some how have to pay for their crimes. Sonsofbitches!

Bloggers Selected For The DNC

The lucky ones or not have been chosen to blog from the DNC in August. Only recognized two and met Square State last December in Denver. They will tell it like it is for sure. I will read what many of these sites have to say first over what the media whores will frame it as.

It's About Damn Time

Here it is May 18th and there's still white shit in my yard but not for much longer. 70+ today so probably about noon this last bit will be history. May the door slam you in your sorry ass on the way out. With a bit of luck it will be six months before I see you again.


MPG Results

Last April wrote this about trying a fuel additive to see if it actually worked.

Here are the the mpg figures for five fill-ups.
34.7 - 30.4 - 31.6 - 28.3 - 29.5
28.5 is the number I'm using for the average.

That is an increase with these numbers of 8.4%
If I messed up the fill with the 34.7 by a gallon the increase would be 6.5%.

Not ready to draw any conclusions but I guess it's fair to say there has been some increase. Have a lot of this juice left and am trying to drive as little as possible. $3.76 when I filled up today and that was the cheap place. The sun came out and will finally remain and turn into summer. It's pretty much been two jacket days till now. Very busy but have an oil change coming up. Will jerk at least one plug and check the air filter just to be sure. I do think the average 28.5 is a bit high. Tenths of gallons and not many miles mean a lot in the final numbers but the the longer it goes the more accurate they become. This will take some time.

No Cat Only A Pig Today

I should probably get a cat some time because I like them a lot. As is there are too many running wild around here and some are looking very ragged. I think this guy likes me as he's not very afraid. Either that or he's setting me up to rip me a new asshole. Going to do some research and find out what marmots really like to eat besides grass. He may be a repug and we all know how they whore themselves out so there may be a chance we can have lunch together.
