3rd generation Wiener Mobile Fan

I first saw the wiener mobile when I was about 4 or 5. Here is my grand daughter and I visiting it yesterday in Ococee Florida. The first one I saw had an open cockpit and was driven by "little Oscar". Bonus points if you rember him! I have a small collection of wiener mobile stuff like hotwheels, post ards, plushes and of course whistle.   In fact, yesterday we all got a new one. Problem is, most people under 50 don't recognize the tune it plays:-(

Chem Trails

I mentioned "chem trails", also known as "con (condensation) trails" in one of my comments.
Here is an article discussing them.  Living within 40 miles from the largest Naval Air Station in the world, we used to see them a lot, but not as much as I did 20 years ago.

There were mornings in the late 1980's I could hardly count the number of con-trails in the sky near my house!

Asia Times Online :: Another operation looms in Waziristan
The only reason I re-posted this was becasue of the picture that went with it.  It is very phallic, so I'm guessing the 2 guys that posed with this weapon are trying to make up for perceived shortcomings.  If the picture doesn show up, then my efforts have been in vain

Word of the Day -Fusty

fusty \FUHS-tee\ , adjective:
1. Having a stale smell; moldy; musty.
2. Old-fashioned or out-of-date, as architecture, furnishings, or the like.
3. Stubbornly conservative or old-fashioned; fogyish

Fusty comes from the Old French word fust, meaning a “wine cask.” As wine casks are stuffy and smelly, the adjective is a logical association.

The Sorrows of Gin

Thanks to Sailing Anarchy http://www.sailinganarchy.com I ran across a website, the Sorrow of Gin, that has an amazingly electic collection of pictures of women, cars and booze. Perhaps a little racy, but not really compared to the Fox network on TV, use your own discretion.

The sites introduction: "As our culture continues its decline, we celebrate the decadence of women, cocktails and classic American style."

Home Milk delivery!?



Too bad I'm lactose intolerant, I just might sign up. By the way, that picture on the left is a metropolitian. I learned to drive a stick shift in one of those and over the years I've owned 4 or 5. But, none had a bottle of milk on them!

Agenda 21-What it is



I have to admit I did not know what Agenda 21 was until I read that the Tea Bagger movement was up in arms about it (see next posting), so I thought I'd see for myself what it is. Here is is.

Check Back Often

On Dec 23 I said that I was going to start posting everyday. Well, I missed the next 2 days, Christmas Eve and Christmas day. But since I posted 6 times on Dec 23 I figure I'm OK since my daily average so far is 2. So, anyway, here I go. Check back often as I hope to have new stuff everyday and keep up my dail average!

politics & guns



Before I leave the topic of physical health and politicans here is our former Governor showing off HIS guns. I can't remember any conservatives making fun of his body

Women with guns


Talking about "chicks with guns"- check this out. Can't remember where I found this pic, but her biceps & triceps seem to be real and not photo-shopped.

Congressman apologizes for criticizing Michelle Obama’s ‘large posterior’


"The Wisconsin lawmaker—who, it must noted, is a bit rotund--sent a personal note to Obama apologizing for his remarks, his spokeswoman Amanda Infield tells Yahoo News. She declined to go into detail about what the note said.

In a statement to reporters, the lawmaker reiterated his apology. "I regret my inappropriate comment, and I have sent a personal note to the First Lady apologizing," he said.

It's not the first time Republicans have mentioned Obama's looks in criticizing her campaign to end childhood obesity. Earlier this year, Rush Limbaugh trashed the initiative, suggesting Obama doesn't physically appear to practice what she preaches."

Apparently Rush has never seen her 'guns'

At least it wasn't a Stradivarius

Reason for the Season? the post I put on FB

From the link-

"Let’s get something straight, we love Jesus. Love His style. Love His message. Love how He loves! When we hear things like ‘Jesus is the Reason for the Season’, our educated self screams at the stupidity! Let us clarify our position. Jesus is a great guy and everything but by no means does he monopolize December. For Christians, December means Christmas and the celebration of the birth of Christ. For Jews, December is the time of the Festival of Lights, or Hanukkah, where they celebrate the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem for 8 days. Muslims sometimes celebrate the Islamic New Year in December depending on the day it falls. Buddhists have Boddhi Day which celebrates the day that the Buddha attained enlightenment. African Americans celebrate Kwanzaa which celebrates universal African American heritage and culture. Pagans have long celebrated Yule and the Winter Solstice around the 21st of the month. So, by saying only Merry Christmas, we are completely ignoring, disenfranchising and disrespecting the faith and priorities of others. Now, that does not sound like Jesus Christ, does it?"

Reason for the Season?

My facebook page has had a small discussion about "the reason for the season". I know I have said this before, but starting today I am going to post something here everyday.
Here is the first, a link to an article about how 10% of protestant churchs are closed this coming Sunday becasue it is Christmas

Click on the link and it will take you to written material, only then will the video start, if you want to see it and clck on it.
Here is an important part what what he is saying

"Today just 400 Americans have more wealth than half of all Americans combined."

"Let me say that again. 400 obscenely rich people, most of whom benefited in some way from the multi-trillion dollar taxpayer "bailout" of 2008, now have more loot, stock and property than the assets of 155 million Americans combined. If you can't bring yourself to call that a financial coup d'état, then you are simply not being honest about what you know in your heart to be true."

Barcelona World Race




I find this facinating, these 12 60 foot sailboats are in the middle of racing around the world. My favorite teams are Estrella Damm (becasue it is named after a spanish beer), Neutrogena (because it has the only American in the race) and GAES Centros Auditivos (because it is crewed by two women, the only women in the race)

Ayn Rand





OK, I feel like I'm late in joing the "Ayn Rand/Fountainhead/Atlas Shrugged party" but I have finally started reading her books. Not sure I agree with her philosphy of "objectivism" but her ultra conservative theories are certaintly broadening my horizons.

Conservatives left out parts of the Consitution

When conservatives took over Congress last month they made a big deal reading the Constitution out loud on the floor, as if only conservatives believed in the that document. Ooops, they left some parts out.

If reagan was still alive the Tea Baggers would work agaisnt him as being too liberal

Read this article about the things the conservatives forget about Reagan

Conservatives respect for US Constitution fades

Conservatives in general and the Tea Baggers in particluar claim allegince and reverence for the US Constitution. OK, so why did they attempt to make 42 (Forty Two !) amendents?! during the last term of comgress?

George Bush Can't Travel Overseas for Fear of Arrest and Prosecution

"As the news broke on Saturday that former President George W. Bush had abruptly canceled his scheduled appearance this week in Geneva to avoid the risk of arrest on a torture complaint, my first thought was — how humiliating, not only for Bush but, by extension, for all Americans. "

Great radio Show

conservatives NOW complain about lack of mental health services

Conservatives forget they have been the ones to always oppose social funding. It is hyprocritical to now complain about the lack of services. I am old enough to remember that California once had the best system of mental health hospitals and clinics in the country but Govenor Ronald reagan shut that all down

Open letter to Conservatives from a conservative

I couldn't have written this better. What makes it have value is that it is written by a conservative.
Please, the more conservative you are, the more you need to read this article in its entirety.
The most important thing to get out of the article is that republicans cannot fight Obama agsint their OWN ideas.

9/11 Families Ask: What Happened to the Third Building That Collapsed in the WTC Attacks?

9/11 Building 7

I had no idea until today that 3 buildings, not just the two trade towers "pancaked" into nothing on September 11, 2001. The third building, building #7 stood until 5:00 PM that day, then pancaked into nothingness. It was not hit by an airplane or debris and was not heavily damaged. Look at the videos of the collapse. If you are like me, it will give you chills and remind you of the many planned demoltions you have seen in Las Vegas and other cities.

FaceBook Campaign Agasint Child Violence


I have been involved in Child protective Services for over 26 years in 5 California Counties and have seen the absoulte worse people have to offer agasint their children or other kids. Posting cartoons this weekend won't change any of the dynamics that go into child abuse such as; poverty, drug & alcohol abuse, mental health isssues, gabh involvement, republican's phobia of fubnding social services, (or anything that doesn't go into a rich person's pocketZ" and douible speaking politicans.


I have witnessed and lived the fact that society SAYS they care about kids, but it's actions show, without any doubt that it doesn't care the slighest iota.


This rant is not agasint the cartoon posters, obviously your heart is in the right place. This rant is agasint the people whio CLAIM thay support family values, but really don't. If they did I would not be handling the same child abuse issues day in and day out as I did in 1982.


But, I'm loving the cartoons.

Facebooks Campaign Agaisnt Child Violence

This weekend, Face Book is asking its members to post their favorite cartoon as a child as their profile picture in order to highlight a campaign agasint child violence.
I tried to post a rant on FB but due to word limits it became a big hassle so I decided to post it here. Actually rants do belong someplace other than face book, so here it is. And really it is not that long:
