Obroni Big Man Arrives In Ghana

Yea-the fact of the matter is that the Obama's could very well be called white if they happen to get out and about a bit and that ain't no shit. I've been called "obronie" (pronounced o-brew-knee) thousands of times and the humor is that although it basically means "white man" black people from well to do country's are called that also. I'm chuckling now. Got old at times and came mostly from the young. We could never figure this out. They just have this need to point out white people to each other or something like that because it's not derogatory. If the Obama's get out very far that would happen without a doubt and that's damn funny to me.

If I had planned the Obama's itinerary this evening would start with this dish prepared with proper palm nut soup and foul.



After that they would attend an outdoor venue for an evening dancing to Highlife and partaking of spirits while listening to music such as this. I just heard this and it is SO good!

If I were to return much time would be spent in outdoor beer joints so to speak listening,dancing,eating kabobs,flirting with the girls and having some Club beer. You betcha.




One thing that they will hear from the moment they step off the plane from every Ghanaian they meet is "You are welcome". We would all get the same treatment and I can't tell how nice that is. That is Ghana.

Please-you are welcome President Obama



Note-
Looking around came across these. A travel site that covers starting out where I was. It works well.

A post from today from an Obroni Mom where life away from where the Obama's will be hanging isn't so "sweet" as is said there a lot.

Then this a video put up before that I like. It crosses Highlife with a bit of hip hop and it's just fun.

A Good Story

Anytime the elderly can be stimulated into doing things it's all for the better. And when they ask for the unusual and it happens for them that makes it even better.

Dreams come true at any age, residents of a northwest Iowa retirement home found out this week.
Gertie Vander Ploeg, 89, who wanted to learn how to e-mail her children, received a donated computer and free lessons. Ken Roos, a World War II veteran weakened by stroke, was visited by Army pals who shared a tent with him on Okinawa. Daloris Rensink, 82, saw the family farm she left behind - from 1,500 feet in the air.

Churchill Won But He Lost

So you go through the whole process called a trial that lasted for about three weeks and the jury finds that you were terminated illegally and there was a violation of your right of freedom of speech. Well that doesn't mean squat here in Colorado.

In a ruling Tuesday, Denver District Judge Larry Naves vacated a jury finding that CU's Board of Regents improperly terminated Churchill, who was a professor in the Boulder campus' ethnic-studies department.

Why bother with a trial when there is a whore judge waiting in the wings to do the bidding of the powerful nutters here in this state who could not stand that they were called out for the sick fucking war whores they are.

Sonsofbitches every last one of them!

A Creature From The Pond

It seems a bit strange to watch an insect like this dragonfly breath. Then the way they turn their heads all interest me. Dragonfly's in West Africa were larger and did end over ends that just just blew me away when I witnessed it.

Another Ploy To Get Religion In Schools

Well here we go again this time straight out of Northwest Iowa using "religious liberties" as the scam language of the new policy these crazies want instituted.

Public school students in Spencer will get to study the Bible and pray at graduation if school district leaders approve a proposed "religious liberties" policy, the first of its kind in Iowa.


Reading this piece was difficult for me because it seems these religiously insane people and in this case there is one of them sitting on the board never stop and if we are not ever vigilant they're going to accomplish this.

Locally crazies tried to pass an amendment to the state Constitution that defined a fertilized egg is a person with all the rights of a living human being. It was soundly defeated but they too are coming back in 2010 with the exact same agenda using different language in an attempt to make our populace even fucking dumber than it is now.

This Is Way Too Funny

If you watch this you will laugh-probably most of the way through.

Palin And Piss Ants

Let's get this straight. Palin says "I am not a quitter. I am a fighter,". She may believe that but the reality is that and I hate to be mean a very a stupid person and you noticed I didn't say dumb bitch.

What she doesn't realize too is that she definitely is nothing more than a piss ant in time like we all are and if she would keep that in perspective which she won't we would be hearing less from her which would be a very good thing!

A War Whore From The Past Has Died

Robert McNamara has died.

It would be our policy to use nuclear weapons wherever we felt it necessary to protect our forces and achieve our objectives.

Robert McNamara

Happy this man never never got his way but it's the same o years later even with a person in charge who is supposed to be on our side.

Another from him.

Neither conscience nor sanity itself suggests that the United States is, should or could be the global gendarme.
Robert McNamara

At least this man served his country but it has been decades since this man played a role and we did not learn a damn thing. He is no different that the bastards that took us to war in Irak for lies.

Then I see four more of ours were killed this morning in Afghanistan. A roadside bomb-imagine that.

Sick shit this is!

Stirring Up The DU

Yea-sand storms in Irak create problems for sure.

VP Biden couldn't take a helicopter to where he was going-damn.

So he was forced to use four wheels like real people plus wear his body armor because I guess she's just not safe yet but all the parties involved continue to work on that. Word is too there won't be any street shopping going on with Joe. He's going to leave that to the repugs who are braver.

One thing 'ol Joe can't get away from is Depleted Uranium as for damn sure it's blowing in the wind.

From The 4TH

It was a pretty good day all in all. Of course it rained in the afternoon.

There's a new wildflower we haven't seen before






Got some good shots of dragonfly's and finally got the blue one at the top of the page.










Pretty soon the cedar waxwings will be here making short work of these fellows. I bet they taste pretty damn good to a bird.







The local 1773 nutter chapter didn't amount to much so there's no picture of them. Listened to the same shit heard from wingers everywhere till I couldn't take it anymore and left.








The finale to the fireworks last night and of course this does not come close to doing this justice. The pressure from the hundreds of explosions could be felt on your chest.

Nutter Mania

Time will only tell what these whack jobs are up to now but you can damn well bet with Palin it ain't going to be good. Very possibly they are ramping up for something possibly very bizarre to us and normal to them.

Been two days since I've put anything up but there is a parade today and the local nutters will be out in force after that on the court house lawn with their 1773 nonsense. We'll see how long I can swallow this shit but I'm going to be on the fringe just to see for myself in person for real just how fucking imbeccillian these people are. Maybe I can get something good to share.

Right now I'm headed to work not to do that but to attempt to take some pictures in a non-work situation. Then I get to see a monster fireworks display tonight. It will be monster cause I haven't seen any in years so it'll all be gravy.

Here's another picture of this horse fly from a couple days ago. This is too much.

Have a fun and safe 4th!!

Sword Striking - Ramping Up In Afghannystan

Don't ya love the pet names the military gives military operations. Names that evoke a sense of legitimacy that really isn't the case.

Officials described the operation — dubbed Khanjar, or "Strike of the Sword" — as the largest and fastest-moving of the war's new phase and the biggest Marine offensive since the one in Falloojeh.


Ain't it fucking great and then making comparisons to what we did twice to Falloojeh and the people who live there indicates to me it's business as usual from a country that loves war and death just as long as it happens to people of color and is a long way from here.

We are so screwed!

Utah Mormonies Getting Thirsty

Ya Mon- for money cause likker get's the bank deposit numbers up quicker. Oh my they have done seen da light. Praise jeebus!!

For 40 years, Utah required customers to fill out an application, pay a fee and become a member of a private club before they were allowed to set foot in a bar. On Wednesday, those requirements were eliminated in an effort to boost the state's $7 billion-a-year tourism industry and make the state appear a little less quirky to outsiders.

Oh Happy Day

Finally something very good has happened.

Congratulations Senator Al Franken!!!

Franken

Was just sitting here after lunch and started thinking about Al Franken and how long it was going to be until there was some news. Then-wala- it appears like magic that the court rules he should be certified. YES!!

Question remains just how big of a prick the whore Coleman will be as he can still drag this out. Until this asshole finally concedes I fully expect him to do just that.
