Like the FBI….and the CIA…Dig it

I don’t believe I have ever witnessed a regime that will influence the (mis) direction of our country as much as this one. GW has appointed not one, but two supreme court justices, which greatly influences our civil rights, moral fiber and laws. He appointed the successor to Greenspan, which greatly impacts the financial direction […]

Continental Airlines Experience

I don’t know how often you fly, but it seems that the flying experience is getting worse. In particular I recently flew on Continental Airlines from BHM to OKC. My itinerary put me through Houston. The story begins in the morning. My flight was scheduled to leave at 11 AM and of course, I got […]

It’s Mid-August Here….

I truly believe Global warming is a fact….. We have serious calendar slippage here…. We’re going into the sixth day straight with temperatures above 90 degrees…. Yesterday it reached 98 (a new record and 26 degrees above normal) in the OKC area (100 and above at other locations) and the wind was blowing out of […]

Immigrants or Illegal Aliens?……

I see the news media, in their infinite intelligence, are now calling all the illegal aliens we have immigrants!….. I think everyone on the blog knows my feelings about this subject from my previous posts – Border Patrol Officers and I don’t want to live in Mexico …… I was just wondering if anyone else […]

When Will They Ever Learn?

U.S. military and Bush Administration civilian officials confirmed, U.S. forces have invaded Syria and engaged in combat with Syrian forces. An unknown number of Syrians are acknowledged to have been killed; the number of Americans – if any – who have died so far has not yet been revealed by the U.S. sources, who, by […]

Sound familiar?

By David Ruppe N E W Y O R K, May 1, 2001 In the early 1960s, America’s top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible […]

How Many Laws?…..

These people we call “Law-Makers”, i.e., Senators and Representatives, just what do they do with their time and why are they on the tax-payers payroll?….. I mean, the United States has had a constitution for over 200 years now…. Have you ever thought of how many laws you could write in 200 years!?…. I’m surprised […]

FZ Free-Zone (Almost)……

No, you can’t get Frank Zappa recordings for free in OKC, you can’t find them (almost)…. A friend asked me to do some guitar work on a version of “Montana” he did and I couldn’t find my CD copy of “Over-nite Sensation” anywhere (My Vinyl copy is in storage and would probably take months to […]

TERRORISM

I found this cool t-shirt in Santa Fe last week. I’m not an Apache, but a card-carrying Choctaw. Still, I sort of identify with these four “dudes”. My people signed the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek and shuffled off to OK. I guess Mississippi wasn’t worth fighting for. And as for the date, Columbus wasn’t […]

Be a Border Patrol officer (in Oklahoma)

Yes, you heard right, the Border Patrol is running ads on local radio for officers…… I thought, well, they must be for use in Texas where the Mexican border is, although, I feel it had moved into Oklahoma years ago (see my post I don’t want to live in Mexico )……. The same night after […]

The Seperation of Business and State

An Idea brought up in the last post “The Price of Tea…” Some of you have said that if we shift the current power base from the Rep’s to the Dem’s etc.. Rather than take that subject thread another direction. I would like to hear from you about how we could possibly separate big business […]

What does this have to do with the price of tea in China?

worldG, Texas – Exxon Mobil Corp. posted record profits for any U.S. company on Monday — $10.71 billion for the fourth quarter and $36.13 billion for the year — as the world’s biggest publicly traded oil company benefited from high oil and gas prices and demand for refined products. The results exceeded Wall Street expectations. […]

Best Live Performances you missed….

As an opposite to Randalf’s BEST LIVE PERFORMANCES, I thought it might be interesting to fess-up to some of those performances you could have went to but didn’t for some reason or other and now after all these days/years regret your decision…… There are two concerts I didn’t go to that quickly come to mind…. […]

Contributions Sought

This is a most worthy cause and should receive your highest consideration……. I need to raise a few million, possibly even a billion or so to accomplish this most needed project……. I want to buy the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, bulldoze it to the ground, turn the property back into a natural grassland, and graze […]

Church and State

I Quote: Amendment # 1 of the Constitution of the United States of America “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ” That means that the state shall not establish an state sponsored religion, they shall respect ALL RELIGIONS and make them all feel welcome in […]
