Landscaping 2009






Here are several Day 1 pictures of our recent landscaping project. Tay's uncle provided the bulldozer and his personal services to help open up about half an acre or so of underbrush and sickly trees. Tay and I want to create a garden, a small fruit orchard and a patio area that now faces a new western facing open area that will allow for some stunning sunsets.

Old Trails Drops A Heartbreaker


After opening with a 10-run first frame, the Old Trails bats went cold in a nine inning doubleheader against first place Bellefiore. Bellefiore answered with their own 10-run seventh inning and went on to win 18-12. (2/4)
A few weeks shy of the playoffs, we'll probably see them again real soon.

Calling Countrywide!


Too bad Countrywide doesn't offer "sweetheart prostate surgeries".
Who am I kidding? ...This crooked idiot will probably outlive all of us.

Two Stooges Fighting Revolt In Their Own Party!



Waxman and Pelosi...


Possibly the biggest retards in the US government. Both from the economic wasteland that is California and responsible for writing and arm twisting a far left economic agenda, no matter what the costs.
Healthcare, cap and trade...and a variety of other bills designed to rob America blind with no guarantees that their bills will benefit a soul.
The WSJ wrote a scathing opinion piece that pretty much sums up the abuse that they are wreaking on their own party. They barred Republicans from helping to write these bills months and months ago. Now they have closed the doors to moderate Democrats as well.
Neither gives a shit about anything but doing whatever they have to, to pass this costly debt exploding shit sandwich legislation of the far left. Both are insufferable assholes. They will probably sink Obama's policies all on their own. Which is great.
But who else would push such nonsense except these two clowns? Obama reached to the lunatic fringe of his party, hoping that his super majority was enough to push through any bill he wished to pass. He dismissed the best minds in the party for the most fervent, mindless fools. What Obama is finding out now, as people get wise is that you reap what you sow.
Let me give you the 411 on Americans. They may be gullible enough to hope for change but I don't believe they are stupid enough to follow these retards into another Great Depression.
California is the shining example they wish to set for the US. Uh... no thanks!

Churkey's July 2009 Hatch

Churkey hatched 3 out of 4 EE eggs this week after sitting on them back on July 6th.

They are all Slagathor x Perry eggs (green). The 1st chick (yellow) hatched on 7/25, 2nd (grey/brown) on 7/26 and the 3rd (brown/dark brown) on 7/28. The pictures are in birth order:

Hot Dog! Another Sweep!


Old Trails swept another doubleheader besting CPB 12-5 and 11-6. We're finally making a push three weeks from the playoff season. (2/7)

Last Night On Earth

Played an awesome zombie boardgame a few times over the past few weeks. The game pits 4 survivors against a zombie hoard. In the simple scenario, 2 players play 2 heros each and 1 player plays the zombie hoard and the heros must kill 15 zombies before sun up. Sun up occurs after each side gets 15 turns, so each game only lasts about an hour or so. The standard game can be played by up to 6 players with multiple players playing heros and multiple players controlling different colors of zombies (green, brown and red).

The basic gist of the game is as follows:

When night begins to fall on the sleepy town of Woodinvale, the shadows and fog rolling in bring with them more than just a chill shiver. A living nightmare erupts as the once peaceful community is overrun with the restless dead…scratching and clawing their way to the surface with an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Now only a handful of unlikely Heroes are left, banding together to fight for their very lives. On a night that never ends, the only thing worse than death… is becoming infected.

Last Night on Earth, The Zombie Game is a fast-paced game of brain-eating Zombies, small town Heroes, and horror movie action. Players take on the role of either the Heroes, working together to make it through the night; or the Zombies, unending waves of undead spreading over the town like a plague. Featuring a modular board, eight Heroes to choose from, and several different Scenarios to play that drastically change the game, Last Night on Earth is designed to create a cinematic feel as the story and game unfolds.

So put down that popcorn, grab your shotgun, and hide your brain; the Zombies are coming and this could be your Last Night on Earth!

This past weekend, Poppinfresh, Irish and me played some of the more advanced scenarios of the game including "Save the Townsfolk" and "Get Out Of Dodge". There are several different scenarios included in the game and the expansion pack and an unlimited number of additional scenarios created by gamers and available of the game's fan site in the Variants section.

Now, I'm a zombie nut, so I am very biased, but I think that this is the best boardgame that I've ever played. It just has unlimited ways to enjoy the game. I just ordered a copy for myself with the expansion pack. When the game comes in, I would love to host a LNOE party and let those interested form their own opinion. Hell, I'd love to get a huge game going using most of the heros and 6 zombie players (2 for each color -I ordered extra zombie pieces!).

Let me know if you are interested by email and we'll try to get a day scheduled to play!

Here is the game makers official website: Flying Frog

Finally...a Sweep!


Old Trails swept Roland's Trucking on Sunday afternoon, eeking out a 7-6 win in the opener and taking the nightcap 15-5 in five innings.
I managed my second triple in two weeks and the offense finally came on with a 10 run inning in the third. After advancing to third on a sac fly in the fifth inning, I scored the winning run on a single. (5/6)

Softball/BBQ/Bonfire: July 18, 2009

We got a nice turnout of 15 players for softball and played a 7 on 7 doubleheader (six innings each), while I pitched for both squads.

The two teams:

A: Saraloni, Bebis, Meersky, Shep Jr., Papa Shep, Tay, Hamdog.

B: Nate, Rhino, Mama Shep, The Don, Francois, Kimber, Jackson.
The weather held out and we only had to suffer through some rain in the first inning of Game 2 until it cleared again.

Team B managed to squeak out a 10-9 victory in the opener after taking a big 9-1 lead after three innings and also won the nightcap 14-12 in an offensive explosion for both teams in a back and forth contest. The Don used his family jewels to knock down a game ending groundout to seal the game 2 victory. There were lots of longballs in game 2 as a fatigued Bluey got a sore neck watching the balls fly overhead.

And speaking about flying overhead...It is rumored that ESPN "The Ocho" sent a DirecTV blimp over the field to capture the aerial footage. The blimp soared right over the field.


More pictures of the game can be found on my Facebook page.
After the games, we retired back to our home for a BBQ and bonfire.
Everyone got to ride the Honda Big Red and were given tours of our and Tay's Dad's property.

Bluey and Tay made BBQ chicken, burgers, dogs, brauts, baked ziti, baked beans and pasta salad. Our guests also brought some nice tasty sides and desserts. Thank you for that! Mama Shep's homemade cookies were unbelievable!

Choder and AmE came for the BBQ later on and brought their kids, who got a real kick out of our kittens, feeding the chickens grapes and riding in Big Red. Choder's young son somehow always seemed to gravitate to the cooler for a beer, Odd, almost like he was trained to do so.
Our teens disappeared for about an hour to jump on large round hay bales at the top of the property, while the rest of us chilled, told stories and enjoyed the bottled brews (Newcastle, Yuengling and Sam Adams) around the fire.

All in all, one heck of a nice day with great friends, food and wandering fowl.
Thanks to all for making the day an absolute success and so much fun!
This was our first opportunity to have friends at our place and Tay, I and my girls had such a good time.
We'll try to schedule one more softball/BBQ/bonfire event in late August.
Check your email for details in a week or two.

These commercials are golden. What does it say about me that I enjoy them so much? Well, it turns out, not very surprisingly, that these spots were unscripted in order to get the desired reactions from the kids. Awesome!

Introducing The Montecristo Lewinsky Especiale Cigar


" A damn tasty cigar when your wife is globe trotting around the world!", says an ecstatic former US president.

Aged under 18 years, this tightly would leaf cigar is the product of a patented dipping process. The formula remains closely guarded.

Honestly,...if I was Bill Clinton, I would never smoke a cigar in public again.

Ship Of Fools!


"C'mon...it's a good bill!" says Nancy Pelosi.

Apparently, these days, when you want to pass a bill that will cost the taxpayers trillions of dollars and quite possibly their jobs, there's no need to do any due dilligence like actually reading the proposed bills. If Nancy and Obama say it's a good bill, who's to question that?

I tell you what. If we continue to let this ship of fools to steer the boat, this country will soon be left bankrupt and weak. If the Blue Dog Democrats and Independents don't start waking up real soon, I fear for this country. The time to allow Obama a pass is over. Due dilligence and scrutiny is required of you as soon as possible.

Otherwise, I feel a Bluey obituary coming on. U.S.A., 1776-2009 R.I.P.

Update: The WSJ now refers to this congress as one of the most reckless ever.

Circle of Life


We knew that our two barnkittens, Piwackit and Piewizard, were awesome mousers but today I saw the two of them take down one of the wild rabbits on our property.
Here is a picture of Piwackit with his and his brother's kill before chowing down.
I swear that domestic housecats are no different than lions or tigers. If they were bigger than us, they'd be eating us as well.
Good boys, protect our gardens!

Another Softball Split and A Relocation



Luna, our psycho-Momcat, decided that the bedroom closet wasn't good enough today and decides to move them into Tay's dresser drawer while I'm out playing softball.

Talk about cuteness!!!

Softball was another split with TNT. We lost the opener 17-4 and won the nightcap 24-14.

I hit a rare triple in the late innings of the second game that cleared loaded bases. I finished 4 for 6 for the day.

Obama Eyes Second Stimulus!


I don't know if it will help with the U.S. economic downturn, but Obama got cold hard busted by the press for staring at a little Brazilian booty!

Hey-O!!!!

I wonder what Michelle will say as she sees this plastered all over the nation's newspapers?

Obama's New Department of Defense Stimulus


The administration's new "Get Tough On Giant Squirrels Initiative" will "save countless military jobs" as GIs leaving Iraq face a burgeoning 9.5% unemployment rate as prospects for their rehire back in the private sector dwindle.
Nancy Pelosi claims that the new initiative will save 300 million U.S. armed forces jobs.
Joe Biden says that the administration "misread" the giant squirel problem and is using it as a way to stimulate the economy.
The administration had no comment as to whether AIG was paying Giant Squirrel czar Christopher Dodd 5k for each pelt to be used in lieu of corporate bonuses to executives.
GM is also denying that 2010 model vehicles will come standard with fur covered seating.
As the dollar has taken a pounding internationally, the Chinese and Russians have scaled back buying government bonds, opting for pelts instead. The squirrel pelt is slowly replacing the greenback's role in world currency.
To combat huge rises in electricity rates as a result of the cap and trade legislation, each U.S. taxpayer will receive a tax credit to receive a Chinese made squirrel coat to keep warm in the winter.
Maybe we were right to have HOPE after all!

NYC Trip: First in 17 Months!


Sorry, I've been away for the past week. I finally got around to visiting my family in NYC after an extended absence. The Peteys invaded NYC and we had a nice time over at my sister, Vicki and her husband, Fuzz's place on Long Island.

I got to spend some quality time playing "Shark" in the pool with my niece and nephews and we had our traditional yearly wiffleball game in which the Jr. Fuzz outscored Los Angelos 18-17 in a five inning game.

The quote of the weekend came from my sister, Siouxsie's son, pictured on the left when he asked about Vicki and Fuzz's wedding picture.

"Who is that guy that Aunt Debbie married?", he inquired.

Fuzz replies, "That's me!"

To which my nephew replies, "What happened to you?"

Everybody pisses themselves over that comment.

Fuzz, then asks, "How does Vicki look?".

To which my nephew replies, "The same."

Vicki beams and Fuzz endures a multitude of "what happened to yous?" the rest of the day...

All in all, a very enjoyable weekend and we got to see one hell of a fireworks display by one of Vicki's neighbors , who is a fireman. He had a stunning fireworks show right in the street in front of his house. Until, 4 police cars showed up, that is. They were able to finish the show after a few delays.

We got to see most of the whole immediate family and all the cousins. We scarfed NY pizza, bagels and canoli, saw My Sister's Keeper and finally packed for home and listened to the Harry Potter Half-Blood Prince audio book for the drive home, which made the time fly.

Upon getting home I secured our midnight passes for the Harry Potter premiere. We can't wait!

How M.A.D.D. Will They Be?


Now that we have some very preliminary data out on the dangers of texting while driving, the question in my mind is, will Mother's Against Drunk Drivers come down as hard on their own sons and daughters texting while driving as they have on drunk drivers?
Seemingly, with a reaction time that can be up to four times slower than an individual at .008 BAC, it certainly seems that it should be a no-brainer that this action should be illegal and that criminal penalty and fines should be at least comparable to drunk driving if further research establishes this data to be accurate.
Believe me, I have no love for drunk drivers. But this data does not surprise me. I just hope that my family and I don't wind up dead at the hands of one of these morons before it is deemed illegal and the penalties are comparable to drunk driving.

2nd Place Softball Tournament Finish

Old Trails, after dropping it's first game in a double elimination tournament to TNT on Saturday morning, managed to win four straight versus CBP on Saturday afternoon, TNT, Kopper Kettle and Shop-n-Save in eight innings on Sunday before dropping the championship game to Bellefiore Music 7-2.

We walked home with the second place trophy but not a soul was satisfied with that. We just ran out of gas in the fourth game of the day.

I finished the weekend 10 for 16 and finally broke out of my slump by going back to my old batting gloves. They either have a better grip or possess some magical qualities.

It's the first time we placed 2nd in a softball tournament in the last three years.

Thank God, that should end all the needless crotch grabbing!

Bluey's World Obituary: Farrah Fawcett


I feel a special kinship now with Farrah Fawcett. She passed away from ass cancer. Sometimes I feel my own ass cancer inevitable every time I read the daily news.
The question is, who is responsible for giving Farrah her ass cancer?

Blogging Has Consequences


After tons of insults and hatred spewed everyone's way by Perez Hilton on his blog, he finally got just what he deserved.
Bitch-slapped by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas.
Thank you from Bluey's World, Will! It's nice to see cowards with big mouths finally be held accountable for their horrendous personal attacks on others.
Yeah, you've got freedom of speech but, in life, there are also consequences for it.
Nice mug, jackass! Oh, and by the way, feel free to find me and try to smack me around for blogging about what a loser you are.

The NEA Is A Racist Organization!



The National Education Association (NEA), the nation's largest professional employee organization, is committed to the advancement of public education.


The NEA basically ties together teachers' unions across the US. Their opening line in their mission statement says pretty much all you need to know about what they stand for. I highlighted in bold, the key word in their mission.


Childrens education. Nope.


The advancement of teachers unions, its' members and the public education system. That's it!


The NEA doesn't even try to hide what it is all about. Recently, the NEA sent a letter to the Senate that stated that Washington D.C.'s Opportunity Scholarship Program isn't working. This is the program that rewards inner city children who show promise a chance to escape failed inner city public schools and allots them $7500 vouchers to apply to private schools. 1700 children living below the poverty line take advantage of the program to grant them access to schooling in an environment that would not normally be available to them due to economic factors.
The NEA has the gall to cite, "The DC voucher pilot program, which is set to expire this year, has been a failure. Over its' five year span, the pilot program has yielded no evidence of positive impact on student achievement."
Never mind that the Department of Education has already determined these children to be significantly ahead of their peers.
The NEA's real issue is that the $13M that went to these 1700 kids didn't line their own pockets and those of the teachers unions.
Obama has already and come out against extending the program and after the current children are grandfathered through the program, it will be abolished. That is really sad. Especially since 15% of the 860B+ stimulus package already went towards public education (~$130B).
That tells me a few things.
The NEA doesn't give a shit about children unless they are receiving a "public" education provided by the NEA and the level of their caring about the education stops at where the federal and state money is funneled.
The NEA doesn't give a shit about the education of below the poverty line families, which for the most part are minorities.
Since Obama is all about mass amounts of votes, he will support unions (car, teacher...whatever) no matter what they decide, because when it comes down to it, Obama is really only about Obama. Supporting the voucher program should have been a no brainer for Obama. No one in their right mind would have come out against such a noble program.
But, the NEA is the real villain here. They are racists who are doing more to keep minorities below the poverty line because of their own fucking greed. Teachers unions and teachers also have to be held accountable for this for their support of killing the voucher system for inner city minorities. If they truly cared for the children, they'd step up against what is wrong in their own organization and make the right choice, even if it would cost their union some money.
Teachers are a party to this racism even if indirectly.
I get tired of being called a racist every time I disagree with Obama or go to a tax increase protest tea party. At least I know what is worth paying taxes for and what is not.
Get these kids their vouchers back already you racist greedy bastards!

Performance Inhibiting Drugs (PIDs)



I love Major League Baseball's new acronym for steroids as PEDs (performance enhancing drugs). It actually makes sports radio guys sound halfway intelligent.

Well, this past weekend, I had a nerve exposed in a molar and had to go to the ER for painkillers and antibiotics since I couldn't get in for a root canal until Monday.

Well, it made my softball performance interesting to say the least. I perform well enough defensively but when I stepped to the plate it was evident that I was "juiced up" and "far out".

For a large guy, I'm uncharacteristically a contact hitter who hits line drives to all fields for mainly singles and doubles. I rarely attempt to kill the ball or try to hit it over outfielder's heads. I'm more apt to drive one right through the box.

I could probably count on both hands how many times I've swung and missed in slowpitch softball in my entire life.

On Sunday, not only did I swing and miss almost 10 times, I struck out swinging twice while going a modest 2 for 6 while we split a doubleheader versus Shop-N-Save.

Let's just say I provided the entertainment and a cool breeze to the players around me...and leave it at that. And yes, i am aware that PID is already an acronym for pelvic inflammatory disease. But it fits because those balls could have been swollen to twice their size and I still would have probably missed them!

Put Tremadol down as the first documented PID.

Oops...it's your 2 year old son...I'm sorry!

Tay's Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Tay!

We won't divulge Tay's age but the Peteys and I took Tay to Angelo's for a nice Italian dinner. I took the day off and Tay and I spent the morning together in nice peace and quiet on another fantastic day weather-wise.

Then Tay, unfortunately had to work a few hours before dinner. A waitress passed out and did a faceplant at the restaurant but an ambulance came to get her and she seemed okay. I guess she just got a little overexcited about Tay's birthday!

6.07.2009

A Split!

Today our Old Trails softball squad hung the first loss on the first place team Dick's 8-7 before falling in the nightcap 16-5.

The first game saw us bounce back from a 2-7 deficit in the third inning to squeak back to a one run victory in seven innings. Stellar defense blanked Dick's for the last 4 innings. (3/5)

Did you really even pay any attention to what I just said? Or were you staring at the chick over on the left?

My 43rd Birthday


The Peteys and I spent a nice relaxing day celebrating my 43rd birthday. We had lots of quad rides, a BBQ and a bonfire as we kicked back and enjoyed an absolutely gorgeous day!
Unfortunately, the day was a little bittersweet for Tay as her Dad's barn was slated for roof removal today and workers started the process of dismantling the old barn for it's wood. Apparently, using old distressed looking wood for new home construction is all the rage. Tay's Dad wanted to get something for the barn before it fell in. Tay was a little broken up about the prospect of losing the barn she played in as a kid. The barn is pretty picturesque and will be missed!

PNC Park: Pirates 3, NY Mets 1



Well, the Peteys did it again! They willed the Pittsburgh Pirates to another win over my beloved NY Mets. It seems like whenever I bring them, the Pirates win, and when I leave them at home the Mets win. They perform the same jinx on my NY Rangers in the Mellon Arena.


Tay, Jay, Tiff, the Peteys and I enjoyed a gorgeous evening to see a ballgame. I got to see Johan Santana pitch live for the first time but Zach Duke outdueled him on this evening. The Mets were missing Beltran, Reyes, Delgado and a few others, who were injured. The Pirates won on a two-run homerun by some new kid (Camarillo?). The Mets played a less than stellar game defensively.


The game went way too fast. I felt like we were there for about a half hour. Pretty impressive for a baseball game. We're going to have to do it again real soon.

It's Official: We're A Nation of Retards

Well, OctoMom finally got her wish.

It's no surprise in a nation that rewards irresponsibility, that this woman will now be paid for her stupidity.

Did anybody really doubt that this would eventually happen? Now let's see who the morons are who will actually watch the show. I won't be surprised if it's a huge hit. Unbelievable. I can't wait until the reality show in which a high school teacher impregnates twenty of his students happens. Are we really too far away from that?

Three Is A Magic Number!


Old Trails swept a tripleheader today 17-2, 12-5 and 15-5 in a makeup win over Roland's. There's nothing quite like pulling off a triple win on one day and what a boost in the standings! (3/8)

5.24.2009

Old Trails 21, Rolands 7

In a rain shortened game, we rolled to a 5 inning 21-7 win in the opener as the 2nd game was washed away by the rains. (2/3)

Tay's Homemade Strawberry Jam











Over the past two years, our family is making a real honest effort to be as self sufficient as possible. For Tay's part, she is expanding the canning she does to include much more than tomatoes and pickles. Today, she tried her hand at her first strawberry jam. She ended up with 17 jars. I'm sure she's not 100% happy with it (I think she wanted it to jell a little more), but it sure is tasty! Good job Tay!

Another Federal Bailout?

First the mortgage companies, then the insurers, followed by the banks and the auto companies getting federal bailout money. The federal government, which promises middle and lower class tax cuts, robs from us to pay for these bailouts.

To add insult to injury, many states begin to announce higher taxes on businesses and "the rich" in their states. You get a lot of tough talk from politicians in these states that can't even balance their own books, like California and New York.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that "the rich" will take their businesses to states with lower or non-existent tax rates like Texas or New Hampshire. Why reside in a state that will punitively tax your business just because it is successful? Of course, it won't take long for the jobs to disappear as well.

California is in such dire staits because in addition to chasing business out of the state with record tax rates, it is unwilling to cut any spending programs whatsoever to balance a budget.
The politicians there are on the verge of creating the first state bankruptcy.

Do you think this federal government will allow that? It would probably be best for the state, so that it can renegotiate all of it's current contracts and cut sacred cow social spending programs advocated and protected by the land of fruits and nuts. But, don't be surprised if California receives federal bailout money to keep it going real soon. In other words, the other 49 states' citizens will have to pay for California's unwillingness to stick to a budget. That is patently unfair.

I have an idea for California to raise money. Have it sell chunks of it's land to adjoining states or to the federal government to form a new state, hopefully one that will be more productive with it's resources. Nevada could be squared off and take Los Angeles. Arizona can take lower California and San Diego. Oregon can buy the northern tier of the state.

California could continue to sell itself until it looks like the District of Columbia with San Francisco at its' core. How much of a budget would it need to keep San Francisco going? Not much, I would hope. Then California would be gone and hopefully its' inefficiencies would become irrelevant. As it is, it's a huge white elephant threatening the cost the rest of the US a fortune.

Then, when New York City gets there, have them sell the whole of upstate New York to form a new state as well and D.C.-ize it as well.

T&T 21, Old Trails 10

Due to rainouts, we played T&T a nine inning game that counted as two games and came out on the short end of the stick 21-10 due to very sloppy defensive play. We were just outclassed on this day. (3/5)

Liabetic Update

Big Fat Liar update: Uh-oh...apparently Nancy Pelosi is a self righteous BFL after all! No need to take my word for it. I'm sure now, she'll claim some nonsense and refute this account.

Get her lying ass to a congressional hearing and let her swear under oath. Maybe then, we'll get the truth out of her. But, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that one.

Our New Flag


Being the "redneck, racist teabaggers" that we're portrayed to be solely based on our conservative values, our family has adopted a new American flag that we intend to fly for the entire Obama presidency to voice our opposition over the intrusions this government intends to make in our lives. We want to see a smaller government that preserves our freedoms and allows us to make our own choices in our pursuit of happiness. We do not wish for a government that promises to take care of us from cradle to grave while imposing it's will upon us.
We reject our government's new socialist notion of "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."
This flag, our protest to the policies of our new administration and the direction it is moving our great and beloved country.

Split Doubleheader

Our softball team split a doubleheader in our first week of action against the Kopper Kettle squad.

We won the opener 11-9 and lost the nightcap 15-6.

(1-6, RS, 5 flyouts...ouch)

We've got a few new faces this year and should be better.

Now, if I can just get my brother-in-law, Flav back, we'll be all set as our first baseman, Doyle was injured in Game 1.

House Speaker Is A Liabetic

I think it's hilarious that the Congress expects everyone else to tell the truth in its' proceedings but that its' members are allowed to spin tales at any whim once you put them in front of a camera.

Nancy Pelosi may be one of the most disingenuous folks ever to serve in the government. The blatant lies, fabrications and misleading statements that come out of her mouth are rivaled only by her colleagues, Barney Frank, Christopher Dodd and Harry Reid.

After getting on her high horse against the CIA's use of enhanced interogation techniques, including waterboarding, it turns out the bitch was briefed not once, twice, but several times and possibly many, many times. Of course, admitting she is wrong is not an option. She just crafts a different story. Apparently, now she only knew that waterboarding was a "possible technique" and didn't know the CIA was using it at the time. The CIA documentation also refutes that.

I'm sure that when video comes out of Nancy Pelosi actually witnessing and clapping while a prisoner was being waterboarded, she'll craft another clever ruse which will be gobbled up by her gullible constituency.

"They told me that they were bathing him! I had no idea!"

The Democratic congress also claimed that these enhanced techniques yielded no useful information and suggested that charges be brought against the past administration.

Guess what, that turned out to be a lie too. And finally, sensing that their asses would be spanked if proceedings on this matter ever saw the light of day, they finally gave up. But not until Republicans pressed for more information such as Nancy's big fat lies about not knowing anything about it. And MoveOn.org is still pressing the issue. How stupid can those folks possibly be? Do they want their precious sacred cows to be exposed as liars?

Obama smartly buried this issue, saving his party a ton of embrassment.

It never ceases to amaze me that politicians expect 100% honesty from others, when they provide almost none themselves.

Perez Hilton: Aren't Your Two Minutes Up Yet?

Oh sure...this is the douchebag I want telling me that a woman cannot stand for conservative and christian values because she modeled women's lingerie and appeared semi-topless with her arms covering her breasts.

I forgot that conservatives don't have sex or can't express their sexuality in any way. That's reserved for sluts and the gays. My bad.

This jackass who, god knows why he's judging a women's beauty contest in the first place, has the audacity to know who's qualified to espouse and disseminate moral values? Are you kidding me?

Dude...you are a fucking train wreck of a human being.

Go back to what you do best...sucking cock and taking it up the ass. That's how you define yourself anyway, by your sexuality. How shallow is that? If that's the most important thing in your life, you need help.

Uh-oh...was that insensitive? Sorry...

Aussie and R-dizzle At Prom

I guess it was an eventuality that one of our daughters was eventually going to be prom bound.


Aussie has spent the last few weeks preparing for her first prom with her boyfriend, R-dizzle.


Last night, our oldest princess was off in her Cinderella gown to the prom. She looked awesome! In fact, way too awesome for my liking...damn, where did I put that shotgun...?


Needless to say, I had a very restless night of sleep and finally gave up at about 5am. I texted her to make sure she was still alive. The after porm sponsored by the school ended in the early morning.


So far, so good. She's off to Kennywood today to spend the day after getting a few hours of shuteye.


Here's the picture of the happy couple during their red carpet walk at the Grand March before the prom.


So, I guess we survived our first prom!
