YIKES The Dougherty Gang Is In Town

Yup and they've been on the run since  August.

Lee Grace Dougherty, 29, and her two brothers, Ryan Edward Dougherty, 21, and half brother Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, have been on the run since Aug. 2, when they shot at a police officer who tried to pull them over in central Florida.

They are an "imminent threat" to the community. Big sister was a stripper and one of the brothers sent "explicit" messages to a young girl. The other brother smokes pot I guess.

I love this line from the badges - "they might be headed to a rural area or a campsite to avoid law enforcement detection." Ya think!!

Damn Near 10% - How About You

You betcha that's what my measly amount in my 401 declined by yesterday. Real special that is given the timing and all. Of course it lost a bunch once before but came back a bit. I am not the cause of this but ultimately I am responsible for what is done with these funds. I can little afford this just as others very small players can either. Thanks DC you pieces of shit.

These funds were going to be removed soon anyway  If there are any suggestions from you guys on what to do now fire away as I welcome them. I'm inclined to take it right now before I lose another 10% or more.

Am I proud of my country? Not at this time and not even a little bit.

The Old War Whore Speaks

bama says this -

"I know that our troops will continue the hard work of transitioning to a stronger Afghan government and ensuring that Afghanistan is not a safe haven for terrorists," he said in remarks delivered at the White House. "We will press on and we will succeed."

Yes but of course what else would you say as the peace prez who strongly supports this war and started another. Liberality sort of woke me up with her comment on the post below this one and the nice will not be used here. Let's be blunt -

The 30 or whatever who perished this weekend are not hero's. Get it? What they are though is pure home grown cannon fucking fodder for the rich and powerful. That's the reality. Don't like it fill out a hurt feelings report. I am sick of perpetual war and the escalation of the ones we are in and I ain't changing not even a little bit. I want nothing to do with war loving assholes and that includes bama. He is no friend of mine.

There is another thing that sticks in my craw. Across this country and here locally and at state level there are movements to place on the ballots tax increases for the schools.

I'm all for educating the kiddies but have the nuts to explain why we need it and how we got here. I'll tell you how -  wars for fucking lies that have continued for years and a trillion dollar give away to the banks are two of the reasons.

Why is this so very important? Because no one was ever called into account and it can and will happen again because these sonsofbitches know that. They all knew it when the chimp lowed his hairy palm after stealing and then lying when he took the oath in 2000.

Already the mind screwing on 911 is ramping up and I've been years sick of that shit too. Remind the masses about the killer monkey and his asshole buds and their treasonous actions daily would be nice - you betcha. This country is downright proud of these actions taken on behalf of them by our leaders of this once great nation.

This is never spoken of much anymore as it's a forgone conclusion that civilized society committed no fouls with this you see. My ass.

I'm never going to let this go and I don't give a shit if I'm disliked or lose associations with people because of this position.

It is vitally important because this is the root of some of the major issues we face as a country today.

But it ain't changing and that's understood too.

Texas Billionaire Dies

I have mixed feelings about this tragedy from I'm sorry to what goes around comes around. But I guess it comes down to I don't want this to happen to me so I don't want it to happen to anyone else either.

Just because a billionaire donates a bit of his massive fortune to a couple half-ass causes does not necessarily make him a good person.

They Wyly brothers also are known for their support of conservative political candidates. The Securities and Exchange Commission last year accused Wyly and his younger brother, Sam, of reaping $550 million from insider trading over a 13-year period. They allegedly traded tens of millions of shares in companies on whose boards they served, allegedly administering the transactions through off-shore subsidiaries.

Believe It Or Not

Yikes- I actually have been more busy than usual and am behind now. Friends - get that -friends came over and we golfed. Me really bad because I want to BS and just learn what's going on with others. It's hard for me to find people who want to talk very long. Most have a tendency to move away fairly quickly.

After that got to see Sy Hersh talk. Let's just say it ain't good but he has a bit of hope. It was a packed house of several hundred for sure and what stood out was that 95% were grey hairs including myself.

Going to work half a day and drive to Casper which is deep into Cheney Land and visit my favorite aunt who is my only aunt now. Won't be able to do this so much later so I need to do it now while I have gas money. My Aunt Bernie treats here nephew soooo nice I always feel special.

That's the plan if there is one. Lot of driving going on and towards the end of next week down to the ranch to work on the place I will live.

Have a another great weekend and thanks for coming by and seeing what this bald headed old fart is up to.

OF

BTW
Just like last year when I asked people if they knew who Karl Rove was - I asked a few about Sy Hersch and of course no one absolutely no one knows who this man is. Our problems go deeper than deep I tell you.

Cuts At The Pentagon?

Hundreds of billions of dollars worth possibly because the debt plan is so wonderful.

Pentagon official warns against deeper cuts.

The official said DoD hopes the super committee’s focus isn’t additional defense cuts.
“I would expect them to focus on entitlements and taxes, but they have the right to focus on whatever they want,” the defense official said.

No way in hell is the the defense budget ever going to be cut and if there are cuts it will be made up somewhere else. No way are the profiteers of war going to be denied what they are entitled to by the people they pay to make the votes for them in congress!

Just say'in.

The Tucson Way

Yes but of course it's guns -

A 50-year-old Tucson man has been killed in a road-rage fight that turned deadly. Police say that Casarez pulled into the Jack in the Box parking lot, and that the other man fired several shots at Casarez, hitting him at least once before fleeing.

You get all pissed off shoot the poor bastard and run away. I wonder if this killer had a gun before it became fashionable to "pack" in Aryzona?

bama Stroking Guvs For Thumbs Up On Wars Of Choice

So they can say shit like this-

"They love their jobs. They're all eager. They're all fit. They're well taken care of," Sandoval said, adding he was impressed by the "depth of their loyalty." "They really are mission oriented." Top commanders briefed the gubernatorial delegation that also included Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam and Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, Sandoval said. They also met with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta at the Pentagon before departing for overseas.

Personally I don't think the DOD needs to send these guys over to our war fronts on my dime. Let the people from their own states pay for it and see if they like it. On the other hand this money is not being used to send drones to kill innocents either.

And you can bet none of these guys will say "We need to get the hell out of this part of the world now!!" and say it with conviction and non-stop.

Another Repug Racist Bastard

This prick from Colorado Springs where nutters and repugs run wild.

Rep. Doug Lamborn on Monday apologized in a letter to President Barack Obama for comparing him — and his politics — to a "tar baby" during a radio interview late last week.

"Now, I don't even want to be associated with him. It's like touching a, a tar baby"

I may not like what the prez does but no way can I or would I go where these wingers go because I'm not like them - nor are you.

This is who they are - racist pigs who every once in awhile slip up and let their true feelings out like this time.

Of course there's an apology that is lip service only. They're sorry alright - sorry they got caught that's all.

And The Number Means

UPDATE 8/2   Add two more to the number below. They count too.

That Americans still die in Afghanistan on a daily basis. The numbers are down the last two months which  no way changes the dynamics.

Of course we are supposed to be drawing down from our second war front after well over 10 years of death and there is a bit of talk about doing that. As has been pointed out here previously that you just don't up and say we're going home now for tens of thousands of soldiers with out major planning and that has not been done. Even when there is a plan things like this do not happen fast.

I expect nothing as always because after all there's terrorists still out there some where praying to Allah to take our freedoms away so that they an have them. It only takes a few of them for another attack anywhere here ya see.

Our country loves us our wars and bleat to stop funding school programs/other social programs and most programs that benefit the middle class. I mean after all this is terrorism plus we love our wars ya see again.

Tighten the seat belts another notch it's going to a Baja 100mph crash ride you betcha.
