You Call This Government?……

How could a government agency allow a person to “take-home” the personal records of 26.5 million veterans on a personal computer?…… One of which was probably mine, knowing my luck……. I guess they were going to do an “all-nighter” if they were going to process 26.5 million records in one night!….. But then, the personal […]

Godwin’s law revisited

In our previous immigration discussion, Godwin’s Law was invoked. Was I merely being hysterical with my Nazi analogy? Here’s an interesting look at what some prominent right-wing websites are saying about expelling immigrants: Not only will it work, but one can easily estimate how long it would take. If it took the Germans less than […]

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 […]

Stones in China

Chinese authorities asked, no, told the Rolling Stones not to perform 5 of their songs at their first China concert.  “Fortunately, we have 400 more songs that we can play, so it’s not really an issue,” Jagger said.  Wanna guess which songs were objectionable?  I’ll put the answers and a link to the Associated Press […]

April One Petition….

I hereby propose that we make “April Fool’s Day” a National holiday….. You can celebrate the “Fools” that are in political office, or the “Fools” that put them there….. I know this will cause problems with our current system of placing almost all of our National holidays on Mondays, but we could do away with […]

Don’t feel lonely – We are 6.5 Billion

The Earth’s human inhabitants are estimated to have reached 6.5 billion people at 7:16pm ET this previous Saturday.  Evidently more than 2 times as many people are born each second than die.  Here are two articles on the milestone : an MSNBC article mentions how populations are growing where growth can least be afforded and […]

OLYMPIC LEAD……

MRambler jumps for joy after winning Olympic Lead in the “Why the Hell am I still in Oklahoma” competition….. MR attributes his record breaking victory to premeditated procrastination and sheer dumb stupidity….. “The competition was really tough” stated MR and he would like to thank his sponsors – “JekTarn Hiking Supply” of Seattle, WA for […]

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 […]

Fire on the Mountain……

…..And across the plains, of Oklahoma, that is…… I don’t know for sure if I’m responsible for the recent firestorms that are raging across Oklahoma or not, but I made a post on the 13th of October – Weather or Not? about all the weird weather that was happening around the world and the possible […]

Inane Drivel Post #1

If Bush were a “Rock Star”, would he: A. Play guitar B. Play air guitar C. Be an off-key back-up singer D. Dress like Michael Jackson E. Be Michael Jackson F. All of the above (except A)

(Too Much) Money for Nothing………

Here are some quotes from an article out of Friday’s The Oklahoman about how the poor oil industry is just barely surviving with all the devastating weather and oil shortages……. “DALLAS – Exxon Mobil Corp. rewrote the corporate record books Thursday as the oil company’s third-quarter earnings soared to almost $10 billion, and it became […]

Weather or not?……..

What’s the deal with all the weird weather events all over the world this year?…… Has God (or whatever deity you choose to, or not to, believe in) decided to remove us vile destructive humans from the face of the Earth before we have the chance to wipe each other out on our own (we’ve […]

Senators to the rescue!……

Did you see the senators on national TV giving their take on what should be done in order to help pay for the storm damage caused by hurricanes Katrina and Rita (Not Lovely Rita as in Sgt. Pepper’s)?…….. The two that really stuck out in my mind was the one (I don’t remember the individual […]

Money for nothing and your chicks for free……

That’s what you get if you have any kind of vested interest in the oil and gas industry these days…… Anyone from the oil company CEO to the neighborhood convenience store owner are making immediate excessive profits off Katrina and the oil industry in general….. These are called “Windfall profits” because the original production costs […]
