This is what you get when you blatantly show your racism to the rest of the country.
If it hurts real bad that's a double tough shit. The problem is that along the way the little guy got hurt the worst as they can least afford it. The simple bastards who supported this don't even have a clue that they or anyone could be the target of the states various Gestapo agency's.
If I get back to this state I will be very careful where I spend my money. Very careful!

For You Winter Lovers
Let it be known that I am available to change places with you if you live in a warm part of anywhere. It's true.
As of yesterday afternoon when the sun came out the ski mountain has recorded 74" and could easily break the record for most snow ever in November. If one listens closely you can hear squeals of joy coming from all points of the compass.
It's also 10* this morning and is getting colder.
Unlike the slugs in congress I know a deal can be made here.
Spring can not get here soon enough!

Teabaggers Don't Need To Follow Laws
Just the ones they like because after all they are special and you are not. Even elected baggers who swear an oath to uphold the Constitution and the statutes of this country and the state of Colorado. This piece of shit should be thrown out of office for kicking all who take this oath and take it seriously square in the nuts.
Cornfielder's Are Gonna Have An Abortion Shit Fit
Of course Troy Newman of Operation Rescue is happier than a pig in shit over the possibilities of turning women into criminals with the election of so many insane religious bastards that he thinks it's like "xmas". I applaud Dr. Carhart for his efforts to expand into three other states to give women health care they are entitled to and need. And we must not forget this is at the risk of himself and staff members being killed by white American terrorists our government does not recognize.
People like Dr. Carhart who take the risk of being killed at the hands of their own countrymen for doing something entirely legal are hero's in my book. And the scum bags who wish to do them harm are just as bad or worse than the bad guys we fight over there.

Oscar Arias Is A Wise Man
We will never see one of our elected leaders speak like this-never.
Another bit of reality speaking about our military budget-
"Cut it 5 percent, 10 percent, as much as you can. I'd be happy if it doesn't increase, because who are your enemies? Well, you have enemies in Afghanistan and Iraq. So, then, make more friends instead of fighting your couple of enemies."
The best of all-
"Our world is certainly dangerous, but it is made more dangerous, not less, by those who value profits over peace," he said.
Soon people who speak like this especially them brown skinned feraners can expect to run outta town on a rail. They need to understand here in Amerika we love our wars and will fight to see that we get them!

Wag What?
From a post at Reality Zone a comment has turned into a post. A short video on the ongoing attempts to slow down or stop the encroachment of the Sahara further south. My comment corrects a mispronunciation and tells a short story about two of the primary cities in Burkina-Faso.The video is from ViewChange.org.
Efforts to stop or slow the encroachment of the Sahara into the Sahel has been going on for decades. Similar plans and the same rhetoric. It's so important they are successful but up to now they have not been and I'm sure climate change has been the problem child in these efforts.
A correction about the pronunciation of the capitol of what was formerly Upper Volta. Very interesting name. Ouagadougou is pronounced Wagadugu or if you've been around for a while just Waga.
In the late 70's took RAN (Railroad Abidjan Niamey) from Waga down to Bobo which is the former provincial capitol. Bobo was short for Bobo-Dioulasso the last part pronounced dealasso. Long e and two short a's.
Both of these names are way too cool and Bobo was a special place for me. When you're a white boy and have a bit of money one of the poorest places on the planet can be good for you. I ate better during those 10 days or so than I did down in Ghana. Mostly Muslim but it was easy finding a cold beer. The French are good about that.
Had not planned on staying that long and when leaving met two other PC buds just getting off the train after traveling in Mali and seeing the Dogon's. Ended up staying another week It was fun but tough travel. The train was the best. In fact it was damn nice! Something we could use here.
The good times.

Give It Up Charlie
Are you stupid or what? I guess stupid. It's been written about before here and now again. Walking out of your own hearing because you didn't get your way crying about having already spent 2mil on a lawyer and that now you don't have one and you're broke. Apparently you do not realize how bad this makes you look.
It makes us all look bad and gives the Nazi bastards with the Big Whore Media justifiable fodder to spread their nonsense about the left. You've done so much good but you did bad as well the way I understand it. Not as bad as many repugs and I don't care if you're on my side you will never get a pass Charlie --- never from me.
Take you medicine like the man you are and be done with it. You're only going to get slapped a wee little bit. People with think more of you if you do the right thing instead of acting like a goddamn piece of shit lying ass Repuglican. It is just that simple.

Three Of Ft Carson's Finest Take A Hit
This is too funny but a bit sad as well that these guys felt the need to do this. They will be punished and when it's the Army's turn they could send them to Afghanistan but they've probably been there a couple times already.
These pot shops are like trying to rob a bank. You're just not going to get away with it. Military brains trickle down from the top to the grunts on the ground I guess.

Readjustment
Years ago if you spent a two year stint in the Peace Corps one of the few things given to you when you returned was what was called a "Readjustment Allowance". That was a check for $2,000 which wasn't much but a lot more than what it is now. I say and mean it totally although a bit in jest is that you never readjust no matter how many years go by.
After this 2200 mile jaunt of not paying any attention to media of any kind it becomes a mini adjustment for me. I glanced at the "news" this morning and of course it's the same old tired ass nonsense where we're not going anywhere close to today for sure and don't know when I will. There is snow on the ground here but not much and it's not that cold. It's good to be home and spring can't get here soon enough.
There are some pictures with the one today at the top from South Dakota. Drove mostly two lane and turned around - let's just say a lot. I'm real good at that. There are still a number of icons along Highway 30 across Nebraska from before I80 which will make an fun post I hope. So a few quick observations.
Wyoming doesn't change much.
Those damn hostiles.
Enjoyed the ride across southern South Dakota. What a place this must have been growing in times past for Native Americans. So much wildlife and in this case bird life. Turkeys all over the place and pheasants as well in some places. Some type of grouse too. Bunches of them
Like here.
Road kill the whole way. Skunks,coons and deer mostly. There are these small snow birds this time of year that like to congregate on or near the road who take off into the wind. I wasn't the only one hitting them and even driving slower you still get them.
Iowa literally stunk. To be fair this time of year is when manure is spread and there is plenty of that. It also fair to say Iowa does stink year round and I did not see one hog. The poop business is huge. At times the stench can make you nauseous and that's a fact.
The farmers weren't bitching which is even bigger than huge. Life is good with $5.50 corn and $12.40 beans and help from the government makes it even better.
I got done what I wanted but after the end of the second day it became a job and I started back on the middle of the third. The ride back was not as good as the one out.
I didn't have time to go in and chat night before last in Grand Island. I was in a hurry to get that room in a real shit hole down the road a few. That was scary I tell you!
