Nice Surprise

These were good times back then. I'd go for a bit of Indian Summer just now.


Was looking at Poco videos and lo and behold as they say here was one uploaded by Susan the Neon Nurse. Met Susan at a Progress Now Roots Camp in Denver a few weeks ago. What a nice surprise. Never know what or who you'll run across on the internets.

William the Bloody

Listen to this delusional insane bastard. He was one of the many war whores on Fox Whore News that took this country to war on lies. War is good for him and his employer just as long he and his remain here. After all some have to fight the battle stateside you know. Telling lies is hard work too. 30sec

One Ornery Bastard

Ran across this ornery fellow that has prompted this post. His site and this one are similar as to the number of hits they take and to the content. He is pretty damn ornery though so don't be offended. Have linked to that because I appreciate how in no uncertain terms the way he expresses his outrage plus it's funny. Ornery Bastard is worth a visit.

This site was and is an experiment and with Sitemeter much can be learned. Chief Russ gets googled a bit. Links in the local paper generate many hits but no more than a couple from Oak Creek it's self. Of the last 100 visitors 2 of 17 from here spent 8min. A few visitors actually spend an hour or two. The average is 7min.

A comment about this site mentioned "propaganda" which is interesting. Itch so bad to get ornery! The worst here was "sacless bastards" because it happens to be true. Of course whores because that's true too. Posts on the town are informational only. It's the Internet and Blogging. Didn't understand the magnitude of this initially but that has changed. For monkeys even though all the bananas in the world would not change your mind Al Gore did not invent the Internet! If one chooses to visit this site there is actually quite a bit of information on the town of Oak Creek.

What is important is not what's on this piss ant site that takes13 hits a day but what's going to be on. The FCC this afternoon voted for more media consolidation against the pleas of all as there was no one who voiced approval for more consolidation. This is so the propaganda monkeys can get theirs. The kind that took us to war on lies when the truth of the matter was the only truth at that time was on the Internet and a handful of programming that media giants don't include. Why did this happen? Because Chairman Kevin Martin is a little neocon whore along with the other two who voted with him. Net Neutrality has taken a back burner and you can bet your life the battle for who controls the Internet will be rejoined? If that battle is lost chances are very high sites like this will be extremely difficult to access if at all. Things like that is what this is all about.

Progress Now Roots Camp

Last weekend (12/1) for two full days I attended this event organized by ProgressNow. Met many like minded Progressive people and was impressed by each and every one. The staff was great. Here's Alan Franklin the IT manager. Bobby Clark the Deputy Director. Brittney Wilburn the Outreach Director and there are others. Another clip that aired on Fox 31 about bloggers and the upcoming DNC convention and the role ProgressNow will play.

I was impressed by the passion of all and their knowledge of the issues. ProgressNow is a player for sure and in the future will continue to make positive Progressive change in Colorado and beyond. I encourage everyone to participate whether it's with this group or another.

Local Blogger Information for the DNC

Courtesy of Square State this video filmed at Roots Camp answers many questions about blogging at and access during the DNC convention. This event will probably be the most important convention ever. The blogging world will attend this in force and this is an excellent resource tool for that purpose.

I Want Some Now!

I'd kiss the Monkey like Lieberwhore did for some of this served with proper palm nut soup made with fish beef or fowl it makes no difference. It's called fufu. White boys were not allowed to run the pounder at least not for very long and I don't blame them.

Randi Rhodes Rocks

Anybody remember Jeffy boy?? You know the gay hooker who was given press credentials to the White House press conferences. The Jeffy who made some well over a hundred visits to the White House after hours. Wonder if good 'ol Wide Stance Larry was there too?


Randi Rhodes scares Bush's personal hooker, Jeff Gannon

If you have never read anything by these two writers here is a chance to imagine a bit.

The Ghosts of Misplaced Conscience

By Charles Sullivan

Everything about America is done to the max-super sized-including ourselves. Americans are fond of excess, fond of glitz and glitter, the bright beads and trinkets of capitalism; the symbols of conspicuous consumption. Millions of us live in McMansions, drive fast cars and hulking tanks and work at high stress glamorous jobs that provide enormous financial reward but leave us spiritually empty.

Thanksgiving Trip

click on picture for a large image
Just don't what to say about this trip. So many empty school buildings with some districts struggling. Have to say there was just not much bitching. That could be a first. I did see a few pigs but only in one spot. An acre of land continues to sell for 5-6k an acre. If you want to buy a new combine from John Deere you can order it but you won't get it until '09 and it will probably be the same for tractors. Already the record harvest corn crop is mostly spoken for and and what has traditionally been the case of export for food (hunger) will not be happening.












In these two buildings there are plenty of pigs probably about 4-5000 of them.








It was so cold and windy this was hard to do



11/20
This is the bridge over the Missouri River that one enters the hinterland.








Most all the crops are in but a few are still out.










There are rolls of corn stalks every where you look. Some places are using them as wind breaks. These are used for cattle feed but in the future this will also be used for bio-fuel.
I poke fun at the state and the people that live here but I can say the visit today from the county hospital in respect to in-home services for my Father was very professional and just as helpful.
I have kept close to home and have heard rumors of the main topics of the bitching. Will find out what exactly they are soon. I guess there is one I've heard which is the old stand-by of "we aren't making any money". I do know these operators can cash rent at $230 an acre get an average crop and still do well. Beans are at $10 and corn a bit over $4 a bushel. Still have not seen a pig. TB

11/18

Today I am leaving and driving to a place that has massive amounts of corn,pigs,cattle,religion,ethanol plants and at this time presidential politics. The issue of politics will center around bitching about the number of various solicitations people receive from all the candidates. There will be other bitching going on too that’s a given. Farmers bitch that just the way it is. Whether they’re bitching about the same thing or something new or bitching about a couple of things fact of the matter is there will be plenty of bitching like always. That’s life on the farm in Iowa. There are tens of thousands of pigs everywhere but you hardly ever see one. What you do see is a lot of semi’s, combines and tractors.

Because it will not be convenient to administer to this site changes through the week will be a bit limited. I would like to thank all those who have visited this site and particularly those of you who come back regularly. This site is what it is and has changed several times along the way and will probably continue to do so. I encourage all to explore this medium of blogging on the internets irregardless of the topic of interest or political position.

Have a fun Thanksgiving. TB
