"DRINK YOUR OIL OSAMA"

I saw that Osama Bin Laden yesterday allegedly made a pronouncement blaming the West and the United States for "Global Warming" and called for a boycott of American goods and the US dollar. Osama Bin Laden wants to bring the US economy to a halt probably to try to bring back the "glory days" of the middle ages when the Muslim Ottoman Empire ruled Europe.

It is ironic that the Middle East whose primary products are oil and desert sand; Osama Bin Ladin would want to limit the role of oil in the world economy as I'm sure that oil money is the primary source of the money he needs to fund his "jihad" against the "Infidels". I'm sure it takes some money to feed his camels and maintain his caves. Where will his money come from if not from oil?

I'm sure that a lot of Middle Eastern countries import food that is grown in America and the West. Maybe we should refuse to export any food to the Middle East except for pork products and alcohol. Then, Osama Bin Laden followers could have a choice of being "drunken pig eaters" or they could eat sand and oil. I'm not sure how tasty oil and sand are but sacrifices on Osama Bin Laden's part will be required if they succeed in bringing the western economies to their knees.

Drink your Oil Osama as you eat your sand (wich). Remember though that if you have to consume oil it is probably best to heat up the oil first so that you could drink it or eat it as a soup. Of course, heating the oil up would take energy, even if the energy is generated from burning bushes or shrubs, and this would hurt the environment.

Swan Pond Swan

Here's a photo of a swan sitting on the ice on Swan Pond across the street from where I live. This swan was sitting at this spot for quite a long time and I hope the the swan's feet weren't frozen into the ice.

I remember my brother Scott told me a story one time about when he lived near Fairfield, Connecticut and one time during the winter a group of ducks were standing on the ice over night. Apparently, during this winter night the ice thawed a bit and then re-froze. The next morning these ducks were walking around as if on stilts as their feet froze in the ice and they couldn't easily get them out of the ice so the poor ducks yanked their feet right off. Yikes!!

"It is Hard to Know What to Eat"

I find it is hard to know what to eat. As a baby and then growing up my parents gave me baby food and then more solid food as I grew older. Then while attending elementary school my Mom would pack a lunch for my lunch box or give me money to eat the cafeteria food. I didn't have to decide much on what to eat; other older people would make the decisions for me.

Now I am older and I don't have anyone to tell me what to eat. I don't know what is good food for me and what is not so good. Some days I make lard and bacon sandwiches that I dip in butter. You should try one they are really tasty. Other meals I make are fried twinkies dipped in hot chocolate and smothered in peanut butter and ice cream with a glass of whole milk on the side. I also like fried pepperoni and cheese sandwiches which I also dip in butter. I just love butter and sometimes I make my own butter milk by melting a stick or two of butter and then combining this with whole milk and drink this delicious combination quickly before the butter hardens too much.

Yes, in school I never took a nutrition course so I don't know if some the menu selections I mentioned are good for me or not. I was so pleased to hear today that Michelle Obama is starting a new campaign to get people to eat sensible food that is good for you. I need someone to tell me what to eat and how much to eat. I don't know if vegetables are good for you or if they are the primary cause of cancer and heart conditions. Thank God Michelle Obama will be able to give me some culinary advice. I don't even know for sure how many meals a day a person should eat and when I buy "cheese doodles" to eat when watching the TV; should I be eating three full bags of them each night or should I be eating more than that to make sure I get enough calcium?

Bless you Michelle, someone has to help us folks know what to eat and your wise counsel will be most appreciated. Now, after your food advise do you think you could help us with how much sleep we should be getting each night? Also, how many baths or showers should we be taking each month? We need you Michelle to help us with these everyday challenges because I for one can't seem to figure these things out for myself.

"Yes We CAN!"

People of Massachusetts "Yes We Can" elect a Senator that is not beholden to special interests, can run an upbeat and clean campaign based on the issues, can articulate the concerns of the people of this Commonwealth regardless of party affiliation, can drive a truck and not be afraid to look the voters in the eye, listen to the concerns of the voters, and shake their hand. CONGRATULATIONS SENATOR SCOTT BROWN!! Stand tall be proud and speak "Truth to Power". Go down to Washington and do your best to get this country off the out of control leftward tilt of the back room Congressional power grab as the Democratic leadership tries to hijack the health care industry with their 2,000 plus page health bill that probably not one of them has fully read but are hell bent to pass over the will of the people.

As Senator Scott Brown just said "We can do better!!" "This is the people's seat". As this victory resonates across the country, hopefully "The times they are a changin'." "Yes we CAN"; start the wave of reform of the role of government.

YouTube - Tom Waits on Fernwood Tonight Ever see "Fernwood Tonight", Forever Fernwood" or "Mary Hartman"? I remember watching these TV shows back in the '70's while in college. Martin Mull, Fred Willard, Louise Lasser, and the rest used to crack me up and they still do to this very day. Check out this You Tube link with a pretty funny song and interview by Tom Waits on Fernwood Tonight.

"I Voted Today"

I voted today in the Massachusetts Special Senatorial Election for our next Senator from the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts....REPUBLICAN Scott Brown. I got a laugh at the Martha Coakley negative radio and TV ads where they said REPUBLICAN about a million times in a disdainful tone as if the word REPUBLICAN was a bad word or a swear word or something. I guess if you are someone like Martha Coakley with her selective prosecution record of going after senior ladies and their garden clubs while overlooking corrupt Democratic State Senators who are caught stuffing shake down money into their bra; you have to go "negative" and try to tear down your opponent. Too bad Martha (aka Marsha by Patrick Kennedy) this strategy didn't work for you.

It will be interesting to see what the Democratic leadership in the Congress and the White House do to try to pass this "turkey" of a health care bill that the public doesn't want. The effete liberal elite think they know better than the public and will try to jam this bad bill down our throats. I say take this "turkey" and "stuff it."

Today marks the start of "Change we can believe in. " The election of Scott Brown to the Senate is just the beginning; "He is the change we have been waiting for."

Little do they know it but the Democratic politicians should "run like hell" away from this health care legislation as it is currently proposed. Passing this bill especially if they delay seating Scott Brown in a timely manner will just ensure their political demise. The public will not stand for the current back room deals and "selling votes" that is going on.

If the Republicans can win in supposed Democratic strongholds like Massachusetts and New Jersey don't you think that maybe the White House and the Democratic Congressional leadership can feel the winds of change which are starting to sweep the nation? Or, are the too drunk in their certainty that "they know best" as they look down with disdain on us common folk who drive around in our pickup trucks and proceed to pass bad bills just for the sake of passing something?

"Fired Up and Ready to Vote"

Massachusetts, the home of of the "shot heard round the world" back in 1773 when the British soldiers fired on the American patriots in Lexington and Concord at the start of the American Revolution is getting ready to to fire another shot tomorrow with the special election between Scott Brown, Republican, and Martha Coakley, Democrat for the United States Senate.

If the dead people in the cemeteries don't vote too much tomorrow and voter fraud is not too great; it does look like Scott Brown will win tomorrow. Martha Coakely has run a gaffe filled inept campaign according to many political pundits and she had to bring in some "big guns" like President Obama and former President Bill Clinton to try to help her with this campaign.

The Brown win tomorrow should send a message to congress and the president that the American populace wants a change in direction from the overreaching power grab currently under way where "Big Government" is trying to take over more and more of the economy and our lives. The Brown supporters are "fired up" and ready to make history. I haven't seen this amount of enthusiasm for an election or a candidate in quite a while. Unless my personal biases or perception are clouding the political reality; which is possible, tomorrow is going to show a Scott Brown victory by a greater margin than many people currently think.
