WIKILEAKS IS A RED HERRING

Even us brainless twits on the mountain can figure this one out.  The plain fact of the matter is that our national secrets are wide open for anyone to get.  What this tells me is that our illustrious government under Premier Obama does not have the proper security steps in place.  All of this posturing against Wikileaks by those responsible is a red herring.  Yes, they are the ones publishing, but they would not be able to publish if our government was doing its job. 

Maybe that's why Barry the wonder boy has finally agreed to freeze federal pay.

DOOM AND GLOOM

Well, I didn't gorge myself too much, so the abdominal pressure against my lower brain stem is not as great as it has been in years past.  Plus, the air is clear in the mountains, which probably makes it easier for me to see things as they really are. 

For one thing, I don't think they are going to do a damn thing abut the Bush tax cuts; they are going to let them expire.  The boneheads still remain in charge until next year and they are bound and determined to lay another egg on the American public like they laid with the Health Care Plan.  With both the Democrats and Republicans refusing to budge from their entrenched positions, the Bush tax cuts will go off into the sunset and this will be their collective way of getting even with us for November.  Oh, there's some talk about the Republicans will enact a new law in January retroactively reinstating them, but Obama will veto the legislation and they won't be able to muster enough votes to overcome the veto so there will eventually be a forced compromise where the middle class get the cut and the rich do not and Obama will have his way.... again.  It's almost as if it was scripted this way long before they went on the pre-election break. 

Not that I'm against the rich getting soaked a little, but the argument that they will start investing in other countries and certainly not investing in the U.S. economy and jobs has merit.  The rich are not stupid; they invest where they will have the best return.  That's how they got rich in the first place.  Do I think that there might be a chance they will have their tax cuts for a limited time, as has been discussed?  No way.  Obama wants to stick it them and he doesn't care if unemployment stays at nearly 10%.  If you don't understand, if you are one of those dummies who think that Obama learned his lesson in November, you really have not studied the man and you have no idea about how he thinks or what his objectives are. 


As far as the economy goes, we are not out of the woods in any way, shape or form.  The economy is very fragile and what is going on in Europe is nothing compared to what could be just around the corner for us.  We have propped things up on the backs of the American people to a far greater extent than any other country and, when we fall, it's going to be a disaster.  That's the major reason why I'm not out there shopping today; I'm hanging on to what little money I have.

I know it has been a long two years of tightening the belt while our illustrious government meatheads have been dismantling our national values and patriotism; it's been oppressive and depressing and we all want to do something to get away from this worsening gloom.  But, my friend, this is not the time.  If we cut loose with a dollar or two right now, we are really going to be regretting it in about six months. 

At least, when you live way up here in the mountains, you don't have to live next to the idiots.

GENUINE SNOW JOB

Here in the woods, we had our first snow Saturday night and Sunday.  There's about a foot of the stuff on the ground and I absolutely love it.  One to two feet is plenty; more is irritating.  The whole woods gets so quiet when there is snow on the ground because it absorbs sound.  The fresh white is so clean and the air is invigorating. 

While I was standing on my back stoop watching it come down, I was taken by the enormity  and the number of the flakes.  They were very large and numerous, almost a whiteout.  And, I thought to myself that they were just like the politicians that have been occupying seats of power in Congress, the White House and state governments for the last 25 or 30 years.  Oh, there have been some good ones, I will admit, but the vast majority have been... flakes.  Literally thousands of them have existed. 

Here in the woods, the snow flakes leave every year for the spring and summer, and the flowers blossom and life is good.  In Washington and in the various state houses, the flakes just seem to hang on and hang on and life isn't so good; in fact, the stench is overcoming. 

All I can say is that I pray every night that the new kids on the block can maintain some semblance of responsibility toward us for just two paltry years, until we can get rid of some more of the flakes. My sincere hope that the remaining incumbents would get the message and straighten out their act was, obviously, a pipe dream.

TRAVELING WITH TSA

I don't know what all of the fuss is about over the TSA and their new body searches and x-ray machines.  As a matter-of-fact, I've got a travel story you've just got to hear.  

It was November 15th and I was scheduled onto a flight from Reno to Portland.  The flight left early in the morning and I did my duty and arrived 90 minutes before scheduled departure; there were not many people in the airport.  I have an artificial hip and have been going through the pat-downs for years.  Not knowing of the new full-body x-ray machine and procedures, I stopped long before the security area and went through my customary method of loosening shoes, moving stuff from my pockets to my carry-on computer case, taking off my watch and belt buckle and that sort of thing.  

At the podium, the TSA agent went through the routine of telling me what I could bring on board and checking my identification and ticket.  Then, he waived me forward to the baggage check area, where I again methodically removed my shoes and put my various stuff into the bins for the x-ray machine.  Finally, I went to the new scanning device where my eyes set on the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in all of my years at any time or any place.   Her deep, inviting blue eyes met mine.  "Hello, handsome," she gushed.  

"Well, hello there yourself," I stammered.  

She proceeded to tell me about the new machine and the new pat-down procedures and gave me a choice, and I stepped into the machine.  "My goodness," she exclaimed.  "There are some suspicious things on this scan.  I am going to have to give you the full pat-down anyway.  Step over here."  I did as she instructed, wondering what in the hell she had discovered.  "Stand right here with your legs slightly apart and your arms extended to the sides."  

Her golden hands swept deftly over the outsides of my shirt sleeves.  "Oh, you have nice muscles," she whispered into my ear.  Then, most unexpectedly, she stuck her tongue right into my ear.  A shiver of passion started to rise in my body.  "We have to check everywhere," she explained.  

Her hands massaged my chest, then my back and down each leg, then back up to my groin area, where she stopped and gingerly, lightly poked and prodded, then stroked.  "I wish we were in a motel room," she whispered, as she tongued my other ear.  "You're all clear and you can go now, but I wish you wouldn't.  Please come back and see me, or give me a call.  Here's my number."  

My God, I was so excited that it was all I could do to move.  Then, another voice from nowhere interrupted: "Pardon me, sir, but you have just gone through the new TSA Security Check-In procedure.  I'm Cliff Reynolds from FOX and I'd like to know what your opinion is of the procedure.  Did you like it?  I glanced at the agent and she was running her tongue around the edges of her gorgeous red lips.   

"God, yes, it is beyond my wildest imagination," I replied.  And, I highly recommend the experience to you, too, my friend.  Book a flight today; you'll be so glad you did.

WHAT'S GOING ON AT FOX?

In the last few months, weathergirl Domenica Davis, who is actually quite mentally brilliant, and Major Garrett who held a front-row seat in the White House Press Room, have both quietly departed.  Is there a major shakeup going on?

FURTHER TO WEDNESDAY'S POSTING REGARDING MYSTERY LIGHTS...

I said in that post I did not believe the contrail reported off the coast of California to be a jet contrail as the pentagon reported and I stated my reasoning in the post.  Now there is a believable post on infowars.com that suggests it was, in fact, a missile fired not by the United States by but a Chinese submarine.  Take a look:

LEFT NEEDS TO MOVE

I am so sick and tired of hearing how we can't do this or that because of the left... they won't back down.   We can't keep taxes from going up or make spending go down or anything else good happen to this country because the left won't stand for it. 

If there's a vote about anything and 70% of the people are in favor of a position the leftists don't like, they will sue, use the ACLU, demonstrate and raise holy hell to get their way.  What's just as bad, as far as I am concerned, is that the rest of us have been keeping our damned mouths shut; therefore, they get away with their unacceptable behaviors. 

Well, I'm not keeping my mouth shut any longer.  If they don't like what the majority of this country stands for, they should pack up and move back to whatever rock their ancestors crawled out from under.  Just because this country is free does not give them any right whatsoever to control my life or what I buy, eat, sell, manufacture or worship.  

I, for one, am not going to tolerate their bully pulpits any longer.  I can be just as belligerent as they can; I'm from Burney.

MYSTERY LIGHTS

There's the story about an unknown contrail on the southern California coast Monday, about which the Department of Defense didn't say a word until today, when it announced that there was no evidence to suggest that it was anything other than a vapor trail from a jet aircraft.  First, you have ask why it took them so long to say so; second, you have to wonder why they didn't identify the type of aircraft; third, you have to wonder why it appears there was flame at the spot where the "aircraft" and contrail met, because jets don't do that, only rockets and missiles do. 

Then, there's the story about a mysterious blue light hovering over Washington, D.C. last Wednesday night.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECiqMqyAdD0&NR=1
The UFO was spotted in Centreville, Virginia, just outside of D.C. and there was allegedly a similar sighting in Ohio a few days before.  An individual who recorded it on his cell phone said the light was making movements that it should not have been capable of making.  The first thing that comes to mind is that aliens from outer space have come to retrieve Barack.  

It is remotely plausible that the first incident was, in fact, a jet aircraft with the sun shining off the fuselage.  However, no one has yet identified where the plane came from, whether or not it was military, and why it took so long to make a statement.  As I look at it over and over again, I have to say that it was a missile.  The Defense Department is saying it has over 150 missiles in the area and it also pointed out the glitch that took them all "off line" a few days before.  They are saying it took some time to rule beyond a reasonable doubt that they were all accounted for.  Well, I used to be stationed on a SAC base that had Titan missiles and I will tell you beyond my reasonable doubt that SAC Headquarters knew where every missile was and what its status was at any given moment of the day, and that was 45 years ago.  

So, while I'm sure it was not a UFO, something is fishy with all of the lame stories about it.  

As for the blue light, we can rule out K-Mart, but the Obama theory may not be unreal.  What is profoundly interesting to me is that the story seems to be almost buried.  I had to dig a little to get info on it, and these events normally plug up Google and other search engines for a few days after they occur; not so in this case.  We also know that there have been growing numbers of UFO sightings in recent years, since 2008.  Historically, such sightings come in waves every ten years or so.  I think that there is much, much more to the UFO sightings than we are being told. 

That's my report today from beautiful downtown Burney, the last bastion of conservatism in the whole state of California.

PELOSI DOESN'T GET THE MESSAGE

Almost immediately after the Democrats took a Tuesday night bath in the House, Madame Pelosi let it be known that she has not done anything wrong and that we Americans are in the wrong.  Now, she's announced that she intends to stay in charge of the Democrats in the House as Minority Leader in order to protect all of the great legislation they passed over the last two years from being repealed.  The fact that Americans spoke in huge volumes on November 2nd has gone right over her cute little head.

In the meantime, I hear the media going on and on and on, lamenting about how having a Republican House and a Democrat Senate means that nothing will get done in Washington. 

We Americans are damned sick and tired of watching these animals spend our money, run up the national debt, enact laws they don't read, and thumb their collective noses at us.  They don't get that message.  Obama doesn't get it, Pelosi doesn't get it, and the media doesn't get it.  

I really do hope that nothing does get done in Congress.  At least that factor will stop more crappy legislation from being passed.  And no, I'm not unhappy about Pelosi getting reelected; that job keeps her arrogant tush out of the state of California.

TAKE DOWN THOSE DAMNED POLITICAL SIGNS

There's a guy down the mountain who is still sporting a "I Like Ike" sign.  One good thing about it... my phone has finally quit ringing.  Hopefully, I can finally quit filling two garbage cans a week with political mail.  

Now, we have to hold the new guys up to the high expectations we have.  I don't care what color their politics are; if they don't start listening to us and responding to what we want, out they go in 2012.
