There must be some kind of new flu strain out there that is affecting the brains of hundreds of thousands, make that millions of people in this country! The funny part is that they, the affectee's all seem to be of the most liberal persuasion!
I only have a twelfth grade education received here on this Island in the 40's and 50's. But somehow I am able to figure out that if you tax the very people who provide the capital, the ingenuity, the chutzpa, the guts,the brains, and most importantly the JOBS, if you tax them to the point they have no money left for R&D, new factories etc., there are going to be NO,NO new jobs available or created! Why does that very simple fact of life and business escape recognition by these folks? Just where the hell do they think all this money and new expertize is going to come from? Probably China and India and numerous other countries trying to fill the vacuum of scientific degrees that we used to provide to the world.
Our Universities and colleges have become so overloaded and packed with mentally corrupted, left leaning professors and teachers, that the last two or three generations of graduates have no idea of what the world is really about and how it works! You can't rewrite history on a daily basis and have young people try to sort the chaff from the wheat,(truth) when the people manipulating the thresher controls that sorts it out, all have a dementia problem! They all STILL think, contrary to scads of failed examples, that socialism in its purest form IS THE SALVATION OF MANKIND!! They still will not face the fact that it DOES NOT FRIGGIN' WORK!!! How many friggin' times are we "doomed to repeat the lessons of history" because of all the idiots we have in teaching positions continue to perpetrate the myth of Socialism? When are the rest of us going to rise up and throw the assholes out? Oh yeah, 'Tenure', the salvation of the halt, destitute(mentally), and corrupt! Well in this environment we are in now, it might be a good time to let the chaff be blown away in the winds of "Hope and Change"!!
BTW all you Obama lovers, How IS that Hope and Change working out for YOU? Up to your expectations? His already failed policies and lack of much of any meaningful accomplishments, has already vindicated my feeling that this guy is just a first class bullshitter and an empty suit that has made a career out of duping people. It amazes me that some "right wing whacko" hasn't already tried to clean his clock for him, permanently! Oh well, there is always 'Hope' for that needed 'Change' And oh yeah, just how many of his loudly proclaimed campaign promises has he negated, and/or not lived up to? About the only concrete one was to begin the clousure of Gitmo only now he can't find new homes for the bad boys down there. I wonder if it ever occured to the idiot that where they are is probably the best place in the world for them other than six feet under!! No crooks in my administration he said! (forgot to mention tax evaders, 5 or 6 of them), No Lobbyist's either,( got a few of them).The guy makes GWB look like a choir boy!This guy has lied and waffeled so much no one really knows where he stands on ANY subject! Iran? Irag? Isreal? NORK? Palastine? Honduras?, Venezuela?,He is in the process of countermaning the diplomacy of the last 40-50 years! The guy is a walking disaster!
So keep on stocking your larder and loading your arms 'cause it looks more and more each day that arnarchy is just around the corner! I DO HOPE that never comes to pass! TIFN

More money for the helpless and those that refuse to work!
Well the State of RI has finally gotten around to putting their hands deeper into your pockets. This time I'm talking about the pretty stiff increases in the cost of registering a car. For the last few years on my old 1994 Dodge caravan it has cost $21 for two years. Today I had to do it again and this time it was$61.50 for one year. Or at least I saw nothing that indicated it was for two. OH well folks, it ain't going to get nothing but worse for quite some time to come. See any new business' trying to relocate to this 'tax friendly' state? Thought not.
One of the local eatery owners mentioned to me that his business was down about 75% a day from last year! That is incredible and does not bode well for the rest of the summer. Of course the weather has been abyssimal for months and that could be a big part of the problem. Maybe better days will be coming, financial as well as weather. Here's hoping! TIFN

Cap and Trade
I can't believe that the people of this state keep on sending the four idiots we have an Reps. and Senators back to DC. I would hope that after the fiasco that is the Cap and Trade bill has time to sink into their brains and pocketbooks, they will finally come too their senses and realize just who it is those four turkeys are working for.It certainly is NOT US! Our Rep, Jim Langevin actually spoke on the floor about how happy he was to see this bill arrive on the floor for a vote and what a wonderful person the Nancy is for ramrodding up there. Doesn't he realize that Algore has gone underground? Probably to never be heard again on the subject of global warming? All of a sudden, every liberal person I know doesn't want to even talk about it, except for the rabid ones! What an ass! I hope he has other prospects for employment after the truth of this abomination sinks in. Reed, Whitehouse and Kennedy will, or already have fallen right in behind Jimmy L. The thing that really pisses me off is the fact that, NOT ONE SENATOR OR REP. has read this thing all the way through. They have no idea what it completely entails. They have speed readers to read it for them and give them a synopsis of its contents. Yeah, THAT really works! The ones, flunkies, who wrote the damned thing are telling the boss how to vote! How G.D. corrupt is that? And what a complete message of total disregard for the people of this state it sends! It is a total abrogation of the oath they swore too when they took office.
Well folks, besides the tea parties sweeping the country, there is another wave building momentum that we all need to join in on. It is called ABI and it means Anybody But the Incumbents!! It is a notion I fully and devoutly subscribe too and I would urge anyone who is fed up with this particular bunch of do nothing, care less, useless asses to adopt it also!
I think I will now go to bed and dream about thoughts of starvation and privation for all my grandkids as the reality of what these bums has wrought upon us ALL. TIFN

Back on the Island again--Almost!
I was reading the BIT today and came across Marthe B's column. In it she make reference to the fact the the ocean waves were breaking over the rocks by the Trustum Dodge monument and splashing up onto her car. SO to all those who so doubted my comments about the humongous loss of beach along that stretch over the last 50 years I say, "So there"!!!. Someone else has finally realized just what is happening. In fact if you go down there and take a look along the beach all the way too Clay Head, you'll see that a whole lot of beach is gone and that the waves on a NE wind day are starting to wear away the dunes just past the aforementioned monument at an alarming rate. Now there is not a whole lot we can do to stop that erosion short of building a breakwater offshore about a mile, just like over at Pt Judith! But shouldn't our local government be in the process of pursuing this line of endeavor? Isn't mr obama handing out money to anyone with a shovel in their hands? I say we should all line up and get some of that TARP money to preserve the business entity here on BI!! Damn, we NEED that road down to the north end so that all those rental mopeds will have someplace to go to crash! That hot dog business down there will in all likelyhood have to go out of business if the Neck road is cut.
But then if it does cut the Island in two, I'm sure Interstate will jump right into that void and start a high speed ferry service from town to the neck! Heck a 4-5 second ferry ride shouldn't be to inconvenient. After all we are all hardy Islanders and are accustomed to adversity.
But seriously, if they want to hand out tons of money to every Thomas, Richard, and Harry, we will be more than willing to accept some of it as long as it doesn't come with Barney, or Teddy, or Big John, the Marine hating man, attached TIFN

On The Road Again
Jesus,Obama must think he is related to Willie Nelson! Why? 'cause he is "On the Road Again" Doesn't this turkey ever stop flying for more than three days? He has spent more time visiting all of those Muslim friends that he denied ever having anything to do with during the run up to the election. "I am NOT a muslim he declared to one and all, but then a couple of days ago he was telling someone in Egypt how the years he spent in a muslim school in Indonesia were the best of his life. What a lying, no good SOB this guy is! When the hell are all the 'enablers' of this loser going to hold him accountable for ALL his ongoing lies? "I will stop the wars" he says out of one side of his mouth while out the other side, he is sending 'surge' troops to Afghanistan. "I'll close Gitmo he says, but they just can't seem to find a better or more appropriate place for these guys. They will in all probability still be in Gitmo when this lying bastard is a forget-able footnote to history. It goes on ad nauseum,(sp) with no end in sight. Think I'll go strangle myself. TIFN

Don't Watch the News!
Watching the news on any channel is sure to give you indigestion for one reason or another. And most of the actions taken by Mr. Egregious are just incomprehensible! I sure as hell don't want to be owning a part of 72% of GM that's for sure. So if you can stand it, see where the Great Bullshitter stands on your list of all time liars.
Sorry about all the weird spaces. Can't seem to make them come out right!
George W. Bush was president for eight long years...and if you believe he
got dumber and dumber the longer he remained in office, how do you feel
about the following?
Had George W. Bush made a clumsy joke at the expense of the Special Olympics
(viz., helping the intellectually handicapped), would you have dismissed it as a non-issue?
If George W. Bush had given an iPod to the Queen of England containing
videos of his speeches, would you have thought "how cute!"
If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you approved?
If George W. Bush had visited Austria and referred to "the Austrian
language," would you have brushed it off as the understandable slip of a Harvard law
grad?
If George W. Bush had appointed people to high places whose flawed character impaired them to the extent that they had difficulty remembering to file, much less pay, their income taxes, would you have dismissed this as minor cock-up that will all work out for the betterment of the nation?
If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had taken a cue from Hugo Chavez and politically dragooned
a Republican Congress to allocate 5.6 Billion dollars for the creation of a
civilian volunteer security force as strong and well equipped as the regular Army, mandating that this quasi-military force fall under his personal command and control, would you have been concerned?
If George W. Bush had proposed doubling the size of the national debt, would
you have approved?
If George W. Bush had then proposed doubling the national debt again over
the next 10 years, would you have dismissed it with a "tsk, tsk"?
If George W. Bush pushed the passage of a $785 Billion Stimulus bill and
promised transparent tracking to reveal precisely how monies from the bill would be spent..then postponed oversight until 2010, would you approve or would you think something "fishy"?
If Bush had promised 48 hour advance posting of the same bill on the internet but only released it to the public two hours before congressional approval, wouldn't you have questioned his ethics?
If Bush's White House Staff had spent over $300,000 flying Air Force One low over New York (for a publicity photo fly-by) scaring the hell out Of the city's residents, wouldn't you have expected Bush to make the pictures public? Would you have approved? Obama won't give them up, but he saw fit to release the secret "torture memos".
If George W. Bush had been "addicted" to using a TelePrompTer, and seldom gave a speech without having one, would you have approved ? Would you think he was intelligent? Intelligent would have had one of your minions put one straight ahead to read once in a while. As it is, his head swings from right to left and back like Arlen Spector changes political parties!
If George W. Bush had pre-approved/pre-picked the list of reporters allowed to ask questions at his press conferences and refused to call on the correspondent from MSNBC (FOX with Obama), would you have approved? Is that a fair and balanced news conference?
If George W. Bush and a Republican Congress had given hundreds of millions of dollars to a group (the right-wing equivalent of ACORN) after its members had been convicted of voter registration fraud, would you approve of them to doing the 2010 Census, which will determine congressional districts for 10 years? Will you trust ACORN in 2010?
Would you have approved of George W. Bush moving the census from the Department of Commerce into the White House and putting his Chief of Staff in control of the counting?
In the aftermath of 9-11, if you knew George W. Bush prohibited the CIA from water boarding Islamic extremists who possessed information we needed to prevent attacks that could potentially killed millions of Americans, would you have approved?
Oddly enough, Barack Obama has committed all these faux pas in just 17 weeks
-- so brace yourself sit back and enjoy, we still have approximately three years and eight months remaining for more surprises.
If you got through all the If GWB's and finished the list What do you really think about your boys veracity now? Come on C sniper, be honest now! TIFN

Busy Times
I have been neglecting this thing pretty badly for the last month or so. To damned many things going on and not enough time in the day to get it all done! Or so it seems.
Well lets see, a few weeks ago it was a rush to get the chicken coop done in time for the new arrivals. Went down to Brooklyn CT two weeks ago today and picked up 36, 18 week old RI Red chickens. After acclimating themselves to the new digs, they have rewarded me with my first dozen eggs over the last three days. Well, actually only 24 of them have been on watch. The other 12 went to a friend for whom I picked them up!
In the mean time, a couple of the older grand kids wigged me to the point of distraction so I up and ordered for them, from McMurray hatchery in Iowa,4 Red Frizzle Cochin's and 4 Buff Cochin's along with 18 Cornish X Rocks. These, the X Rocks are the birds that generously donate their used body parts to the deli counter down at the BIG. You know, those whole legs that look like they came off of a 50 lb turkey? Anyway we have been in the throes of raising these little cuties for one week today. They showed up as one day old's in the USP Office last Monday. The little Cochin's race around the pen like NASCAR drivers gone crazy! You know, go fast, turn left? Those X Rocks just sit in front of the feeder, literally SIT with their heads stuck in it and munch pretty much continuously! Once in a while time out for a drink of the special kick-a-poo juice I'm feeding them. In ten weeks or so they go into the freezer to show up on the table for Saturday night, or Sunday dinners!
The garden has finally dried out in enough places for the planting of selected things to go to ground. Onions and three kinds of spuds are in and plant tops are up about six inches. Just hilled them all up today for the next to last time. Peas, turnips, 4 kinds of lettuce, beets, carrots,tomatoes and peppers are all in and up and doing well, but only after I got halfway smart and wrapped some floating row cover around the peppers and tomatoes as they were all getting wind whipped pretty severely. Put in the pole beans yesterday along with 4 hills of Zucchini, and two of yellow crooknecks.(I don't like those little yellow bastards but Mama-san does so-oo-oo!) A nice big row of Cilantro and one of Cumin for all those Latino dinners we should be getting used to. Read about a trick for the tomatoes I hadn't heard of before. Drop a handful of crushed up fine egg shells in the bottom of the hole first and then the plant. It stops the blossom end rot for the most part because it, the end rot, is caused by calcium deficiency.
Spent about a week this winter sandblasting and painting my old 35 years, Kemp Hammer mill Shredder to get it ready for another 35 yrs of use. Well one hour into the first usage, ENGINE SEIZURE! It broke a ring and that was the end of that! New replacement engine came to about $300!! That was about half the cost of the shredder all those years ago. Can't complain though, it has been well used in the intervening time!
What else is going on? All kinds of crap from the O man that I cannot deal with anymore! I'll just leave it up too the future generations to see if they can ever recover from the damage that this one individual is doing to this country. Oh yeah, please don't forget about Petrified Pelosi's help and lies!
And on the local level, I see that we have two much more qualified personnel looking out for our welfare than the biologists etc. from the EPA! Not that I am very much enamoured of that particular group, but one would tend to think that if so august a body should declare a particular herbicide to be safe when used as directed, then who are the locals with somewhat less ability to do the studies that preceded the EPA's declaration, to tell us that they are extremely dangerous to us all and prohibit the use of same? Smacks of demagoguery no?
I guess this is enough to get a few folks started on the usual round of put downs, so I'll be down in the cellar, "girding my loins" as it were to be ready to forestall all the slings and arrows. Actually I'm going to load a couple hundred rounds of super hot .45 ACP!!
