Republican Implosion
Yesterday on CNN they asked Pat Buchanan who he thought would be the ideal Republican candidate next time around. Pat was sure Sarah Palin would be the ideal choice. God bless I hope they choose that air head. If a skunk with lipstick ran it could beat the moose hunter. The mother of her daughter's sperm donor, just got busted for selling oxy-contin. The donor plans to eventually finish high school. The daughter also has dropped out. Sarah is doing a great job raising a family, she will make a good president.

Snow, leave it to Lord Kadizzle to be Wrong
Click on the picture and then click on slide show
As fall approached at the cement project Lord Kadizzle continually assured the head safety man "Doc", that winters in North Dakota were not that bad, and he should not be worried. Good thing Doc went south. December appears to have set a record for snow.

"You worse than sensless dog meat scum" Rush Limbaugh
With so much hope in the country as we finally get rid of George Bush, leave it to Rush Limbaugh to stir up racial hate by promoting the song "Puff the magic Negro". If anyone one reading this has an once of respect for Rush Limbaugh, I will gladly today tell you to your face I do not have an ounce of respect for you. Rush is the epitomay of what is wrong with out country. A big fat pig that is obsessed with his sense of entitlement. The Republicans are in a terrible hole, and the guy with the shovel is Rush.

"It was the best of times, It was the worst of times"
The old bitch of an Englich teacher made me memorize that line, but now I am grateful. A lot of stuff some old woman pounded into my head turned out to be a good thing, it only took me hundreds of years to realize it. So god bless a lot of those old goats who did the right thing for a bunch of teenagers that would take thirty years to be greatful. Now, to the subject. Sitting here at Erin's computer Lord Kadizzle is thinking about Erin having the best of times, and the worst of times. Erin has one of the best offices in the world. At her own house she gets to sit right where I am sitting and work. Anytime she wants she can raise her head and look out the window into the forest of the Rocky Mountians. A lot of people would kill for this view. Once in a while a fox, some elk, deer, or maybe even a bear go by. Hard to beat.
The worst of times. Erin is in the final stages of her fourth major hospital stay in her life. Thank god she is doing fine. For the third time she was split open from her strenum to below her belly button. The classic emergency incision when they are not sure what they are looking for. Each of her mishaps involved exteme pain for hours.
Now we head through four months of tension, waiting for a baby. May the best of times prevail. On a sunny morning at 8,500 ft above sea level there is a lot of hope.

Greenwood Cemetery
Some where in this cemetery most of my relatives on my mothers side are buried. The picture is just one of the many outrageous grave markers in the cemetery. The Greenwood cemetery is full of hundreds of grave markers that would today cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to duplicate. Many are small stone buildings with stained glass windows. The high school Lord Kadizzle attended was right beside this cemetery. If you ever needed flowers for a special occasion this came in handy.
Winter Castle
Click on the picture to see the whole album. New feature on Kadizzle. This is Erin's today. When it comes up click on the slide show feature.
Erin's Winter Castle |
The Sun Also Rises
After spending a week watching my daughter recover from an extreme medical crises, which is the fourth in her life, I got up to a wonderful day in the mountains above Denver. The sky could not be bluer, The sun brighter, or the air better. Erin back to her vibrant self only added to the good in life. There is always a good day out there, and you have to wait for it to come. Sitting in the hot tub on the deck watching one more day start is hard to beat.
Stop Being Stupid
Be sure to read Bob Herberts editorial today in the New York Times. Excellent. While you are at the NYT site you may as well read the Godless go to heaven article also very, very good.

Race to the Bottom
Stolen from letter to NYT: Bob Herbert’s reminder of the importance of teachers and the average worker hits at a fundamental problem with our society — when given the choice to value people who are providing worthwhile services or people who exist purely to satiate their own wealth and fame, we choose the latter.
How else to describe a society that believes that the average teacher or autoworker should take a pay cut while the average millionaire shouldn’t be overly taxed?
We can point fingers at Bernard L. Madoff as a bad apple in a basically well-intentioned system, but really he is a reflection of the economy we have chosen for ourselves.
Until we face this fact, no amount of bailout money will save us from a profoundly dysfunctional society in which actors, pop stars and hedge fund managers impress us more than the people teaching our children how to read.

It is not exactly a sun rise
Everyone is asleep but Lord Kadizzle. The whole East side of Erin and Fran's house is one giant window facing the mountains and forest. Snow is coming down off and on, sometimes at a good pace. There is no sky, just a gray background. The whole scene has that Christmas card look with the snow on the trees. Last night Fran fired out an excellent prime rib cooked on the grill. The homemade horse radish sauce really drew it out. There were no fires or explosions, but just some serious good eating. After dinner the whole gang sat down to watch Dexter the serial killer. We got through two episodes, and will plow away again tonight. Erin continues to get better. We call the giant scar from top to bottom on her front side the zipper. She has been opened up a total of three times. Erin likes to say she might as well have a zipper. Right now she has twenty two stainless steel staples holding her together. Hopefully they will be out on Monday. Yesterday Erin was quite concerned part of the zipper was failing. The scar tissue made it appear that way, and we reassured her she was fine.

Explosive Prime Rib
One of Lord Kadizzles blessings in life is that he is friendly with the best cooks in the county. JoAnne Kerns is certainly one of them. Over the holidays she claims she made the best prime rib ever. Lord Kadizzle is a prime rib fan and today that is what Fran will make. Will Fran have the guts to try JoAnne's new recipe? The Kerns recipe was an accidental discovery. JoAnne used vodka to rub the roast. Her theory was that it would make the seasoning stick. Sometime after the roast was in the oven an explosion occurred followed by a fire. The recipe requires you to open the oven door and patiently wait until the fire goes out. This must be the secret, the crisping. Now I am sure she claims her prime rib explodes with flavor, which I am sure it does. Kids would surely love this recipe. Imagine sitting around at Christmas waiting for dinner to explode with an ensuing fire. Nuclear Rib Flambau will surely be the hit of the season. I can't wait until Thanksgiving to see her turkey cannon that explodes and shoots delicious stuffing right into the bowl.

Bernie Madoff = George Bush
Unless you have been living in a cave by now you have read about Bernie Madoff. Bernie engineered the biggest Ponzi Scheme ever. Reports are he bilked people out of fifty billion dollars. Everyone loved Bernie and no one could say anything bad about him. The facts spoke for themselves. Detractors were just jealous. Unfortunately the whole thing blew up when reality struck. Now our good buddy George Bush. Unfortunately reality hit before he left office. Unfortunately many of Bush's followers still have not come to grips with his fraud. Every Madoff follower can go to their statement and find out the simple truth, it is a lie the money is not there. Bush pulled the same scheme with the tax breaks for the rich lie. The strange thing is the denial. How many Americans still think and believe the Bush Ponzi scheme is a lie. Bernie at least finally admitted it was all a lie. Bush does not have the guts to come clean. That means Bernie is more of a man than George. George cannot give up the lie.
The Black Fox
The Black fox just went through the yard. Erin and Fran have seen it in the past. Erin first saw it months ago, however Fran and others were doubtful there was such a thing. Now Lord Kadizzle can say for sure there is. For a fox it is pretty good sized, but for sure that is what it is.

At last the snoocher bear will be home today
Yesterday was supposed to be the great return of Erin to her den, but some minor complications put it off until today. Fran will run down the mountain and pick up The Commander and Erin. Lord Kadizzle will assist in grocery shopping. A slight skiff of snow fell so there may be some driveway work. Now, the march continues toward the birth of Baby Gilber, or as Megan has now named the child Oliver Twist in honor of the twisted intestine that just about did us in. If the child is a girl presumably it will be Olivia Twist.

Shoe Sales Soaring, Kadizzle would like to have a pair.
The company that makes the shoes thrown at George Bush is having a land office business. They have hired and additional one hundred staff to meet demand. The shoe is popular in the middle east, but is sure to be a hit here. Lord Kadizzle wants the extra heavy model with the steel toe. Kadizzle can then use it for work and politics.
Snoocher Bear will return to Den to work on cub project
If God is willing, and the creeks don't rise Erin will come home today. Fran and Lord Kadizzle have spiffied up the place. Somewhat cold here in the mountains, but not nearly as bad as the Dakota's. Erin's digestive system kicked into gear with the help of an IED (improvised explosive device i.e. a suppository). Erin is really doing well and looking good. Erin is good at recovering. When Erin had her original accident in High School, she went on to win the state class B hurdles the next spring. An amazing feat by any standard. We were hoping to fly Megan out to join us for Christmas, but does not look promising. Alls well that ends well.

Oh, by the way
After being in the hospital for three days Erin was reciting the endectomies she has had. An endectomy must be something they took out our you. The nurse was listening to Erin's recital and said "Oh by the way they took your appendix out". No one bothered to mention it earlier. So Erin got to add that to her list. If she were a turkey, she would be labeled parts missing. The recovery is going great. Erin has eaten toast and eggs so it they make it through, it will be praise the lord and pass the ammunition, or perhaps it should be praise the lord and pass the gas.

Erin doing great.
The doctor just stopped in and said Erin could try some jello etc. It cheered her up a lot. So things are looking good, and perhaps she will be out by Monday.
The ultimate scum
In our current crises Lord Kadizzle has little to do, but peruse magazines. Rolling Stone had and article titled "Bush's final F..... You". The article went through the steps he is taking in his last days to mess up everything he can for the environment, Obama, and feather the nest of his friends. I didn't even bother to read the article, I have heard the same on the news shows. Of course all news programs are left wing. It is amazing that the man who has done more to ruin the future, the present, and anything else he can, just doesn't get it. He has no sense of shame whatsoever. Bush is incapable of realizing what a hopeless case he is. A classic indication of his mentality was the denial he gave the Obama family when they asked to use Blair house so his kids could start school on time. Bush said it was unavailable. It was reserved for parties he was having at the end of his disastrous reign. What person in their right mind would celebrate the end of the worst presidency in history. When Bush is gone it will be the like the end of an eclipse, the sun will shine again.
The Fart Heard around the World
This is the third day in the hospital with Erin. When her intestinal tract starts to work she can eat. The poor girl has not had any food for four days. Doctors say they need to hear noise from her intestines to indicate they are working. A good signal would be a fart. Normally these fellows are not welcome, but this one will be the best Christmas present the Kadizzles could have. So patiently we wait for the event that will change the world for the better. So if you feel you home shake and a mild breeze you know it will be a victory for modern medicine. Weather in Denver is a little chilly, but it is a sunny day.

Please Read Paul Krugman Today
Angering the right wing seems to be one of Lord Kadizzles favorite hobbies. The intent isn't really to anger, it is to educate. How arrogant. Who cares? If anyone was the economic hero of Lord Kadizzle, it would be Paul Krugman the nobel prize winner. Read his article in NYT Today.. Krugman has put into words concisely what needs to be said about the culture of greed the right wing has created in this country and how it has devastated us.

Snoocher Bear has surgery
For the third time they opened up poor old Erin. It looks like everything is going to be OK. Somehow her intesting got wrapped around itself. She was rushed to the hospital yesterday. Her mom and dad flew to Denver this morning. Fran has had a hard time getting back for the crises. Fran was stuck in a storm in Chicago. He should be in by five today. Eveything went well with the surgery. The doctors had to remove one foot of her colon. Of course being pregnant did not help matters. This is the third time she has been cut open along the same scar. If Megan can get to Denver the Kadizzles may all be together for Christmas in Evergreen. Not a good time of year for a disaster, but all has turned out well, and we could not ask for a better Christmas present. Erin is in room 312 at Presbyterian / St. Lukes hospital. Both her baby doctor and the surgeon stopped by and said she was fine.

Rerun about the Gila River
This morning while purusing the NYT Lord Kadizzle came across a travel article that mentioned the Gila Hot Spring. It was fun reading the article to read someone else's impression. You always meet friendly interesting people there. When the commander and Lord Kadizzle went there to soak a couple years ago a young boy was wandering around while his mom soaked. Lord Kadizzle engaged him in a conversation, and he proceeded to tell his Lordship that he created most of the art work that was every where. The Commander absolutely loves the natural art work by the spring. It is all made from tree branches, and what ever else occurs naturally in the area. You look at a tree and suddenly realize the branches form a fish, or something else.
After talking to the young guy who appeared to be about six or seven, and more full of BS than even Lord Kadizzle it occurred to his lordship that it was a school day. "Why aren't you in school' I asked the young guy. He quickly told me that he got thrown out. Of course I had to know why. He explained that his mother was called to a meeting with the teacher and his mother swore at the teacher. "So they threw you out to?" I asked. He explained what happened. His mother said to the teacher "F,,,k you, and he chimened in "F,,,k you too teacher". The net result was he and his mother were now enjoying a nice soak at the hot spring. The young boy seemed like an intelligent and nice kid, and I can see coming to the defense of mom, but I hope they got things patched up and he did not learn a bad lesson from the encounter with the teacher. In a short time we will head south. If we get to the Gila Hot springs, it would be fun to see how he is doing. The whole thing makes me think of another encounter we had with Justin Time. We named him that because his first name was Justin, and we did not know his last name. The commander and Lord Kadizzle had a wonderful time taking Justin Time for a hike. For some strange reason my mind keeps wondering how Justin Time is doing. He was such a nice kid in a bad situation, and he had such a good attitude. Hope things are going well for Justin Time.

Adult Supervision WOW
Lord Kadizzle has enjoyed three consecutive days off. However, The Commander is totally out of control. Since His Lordship took a job the commander has been home alone with no one to boss since May. Now, the terrier is following me around bossing me like there is no tomorrow. I am hopeless without adult supervision, and it is so nice to have that teenage feeling you get when mom yells "Make you bed'. Lord Kadizzle has been trying to dust, but God himself could not dust to the satisfaction of The Commander. No, that's wrong, first you have to do this, Oh, you don't know how to dust, your using the wrong stuff, you dust just like you cut the grass. Working is so much easier than being in The Commanders army.

Bush should commit Hari Kari
First lets examine what Hari Kari is: Hari kari, also known as sepuku, is an ancient form of ritual suicide that defeated samurai, or those whose shame was 'too unbearable' would use to restore their honor in death. In sepuku, one would take a wakizashi (short sword) and dissembowel oneself. The less noise you made while doing this, the braver you were and therefore the more honorable, however this did not last long as not long after you had begun, a close friend, comrade, or enemy would put you out of your misery (Dick Cheney would be the perfect choice) by cleaving your head from your shoulders in one swift blow of the katana (another japanese sword). Even though in modern times the prospect of decapitating one of your friends or relatives sounds completely against normal 'friendly' behavior,(Cheney might simply ask Bush to hunt with him) being asked to asist your friend or enemies' escape from shame was considered a great honor, as was using this as a tool to escape. This is why the in the imperialistic wars that followed japan's modernisation post Admiral Perry's opening of it in 1853 to the west, the Japanese had no concept of the POW, as they believed that a combatant should either fight to the last breath, or if captured, die 'honorably' in ritual suicide, known as hari kari or sepuku. A good example of this ritual can be found in Tom Cruise's movie "the last samurai" Perhaps being shoed to death would be a more appropriate death.

Please Help the Shoe Foundation
If you would like to help buy more shoes for the guy in Iraq that threw his at Bush please send your contribution to the Kadizzle shoe foundation.
Flying Shoes Bulletin BREAKING NEWS
CNN just broke the story. In Iraq they threw shoes at Bush. As the shoes flew at Bush the reporter yelled "This is the end you dog". Oh, it is so sad to see such a wonderful man humiliated like this. Here is the video
The Year in Ideas Fun Reading
One article Lord Kadizzle enjoys every year is THE YEAR IN IDEAS. There are a lot of fun concepts to read. One favorite was a man who trained crows to go around and pick up coins which they brought back to him for a peanut reward.

The Real Picture
Below is a picture of the Minnkota Power Plant. Unfortunately as this is written the weather is going nuts. It is blowing like crazy as a blizzard moves into the plains. His lordship is sitting in an office trailer while the employees are out trying to survive. It must be a wind chill at least twenty below. Making the country safe for democracy involves a lot of suffering. The rebar crew is putting up the top matt and the carpenters are putting in the forms for the trench drains. For lunch I told the crew I would have Indian Fry bread delivered. It better show up or Lord Kadizzle will be toast. We may have to call off work this afternoon because of the cold.
Lord Kadizzle joins Face Book
At the urging of the children his lordship just signed up for Face Book. I think it is a site for young people, but it now has one old fart for sure

Total Insanity cleaning the air.
Here Lord Kadizzle sits on Monday morning helping to spend another three hundred million fixing up an old power plant. Its cold and tomorrow we will pour three hundred yards of cement. Instead of facing reality and just building a nuclear plant in North Dakota, all the old plants are installing new exhaust pipes, as if that is the solution. The new exhaust pipes will take out some more of the pollutants, but leave the major problem pretty much intact. The CO2 will still pour out the chimney. The real irony in this mess is that the new scrubbers we are installing take up quite a bit of energy themselves. What you end up with when the project is complete is a marginally cleaner power plant that puts out less electricity. If one nuclear plant was built and a couple conventional coal fired plants were shut down the environmental gain would be fantastic. Not only would you eliminate the CO2,but you would also eliminate the sulfur, mercury, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, and most amazing of all reduce the amount of radiation. Believe it or not a nuclear plant emits less radiation than a coal fired plant. The worthless dunderhead we have in the White House just sat there for eight years and did nothing, now we are paying the price.

The Terrorist Speaks
In today's New York Times you can read an article written by Bill Ayers (Remember him, he was the terrorist Obama was pallin around with). Bill Ayers article blows the snot out of the Republican nonsense about Obama pallin around with terrorist. Perhaps the simple minded Sara Palin could read the truth, and perhaps make a public appology to Obama. Ayers puts it all in the right perspective. The Republicans lost and if you read this article you can be very proud that their Karl Rove type tactics don't even fool the fundies anymore.

No Sex in the Bar
On the way to work this morning NPR had a story about a bar in North Dakota that had it's license suspended for a week. It seems a couple of drunks had sex in the bar last week, and the other customers took pictures with their cell phones. In addition to being shut down for a week, the bar will be on probation for a year. That means the bar has to go a whole year without any customers having sex in the bar. The mayor of the town said this did not pain a good picture of the town. When the waitress walks over to table where the customer is have sex, what does she say? "Do you want fries with that?".

Back in the land of Concrete
After a long drive yesterday Lord Kadizzle is back at Center, ND making the world safe for democracy (Making sure no one gets hurt pouring concrete). It was so windy yesterday they shut down the interstate near Cheyenne, WY.

Life at the Bear Den
Pretty tame day in the mountains while The Snoocher Bear works on hatching Baby Gilbert. Since Lord Kadizzle has been involved int the largest cement pour in the United States in the last fifteen years, he thought it only appropriate to help Fran pour a footing for their deck. The big pour involved one bag of sackcrete and five shovels of concrete. After spending hundreds of hours watching carpenters build cement forms Lord Kadizzle got to build one, one foot, by one foot. After making sure no one got hurt placing six hundred tons of rebar, Fran and Lord Kadizzle put six onces in our form with no problems.
Fran just brought the raw Christmas tree in the house and tonight we will have Fran's turkey soup. The soup has been a three hour project. One big highlight of the day was an amazing buck that sauntered by as we worked on the concrete project. Your typical North Dakota deer hunter would have peed his pants watching this large trophy walk by twenty feet away with no heed for the four of use watching.

World Champion Pumpkin Pie
Relaxing in the Mountians
The Commander and Lord Kadizzle have had a very relaxing week in the mountains above Denver with Erin and Fran. Erin is excited about the little bundle gestating in the oven. Already we are making plans to raise a genius. The food has been superb. The setting is hard to beat. Easy days catching up on all the magazines on the coffee table, an occasional stroll. If any tension builds up a simple dip in the hot tub does the trick. Saturday or Sunday it will be back to the Dakota prairie. The camper will stay here until late Dec or early Jan, then off to the southwest. One joy has been reading Rolling Stone magazine. The political commentary is wonderful. If you want to laugh out loud read some of the articles by Matt Taibbi. Taibbi rips Sarah Palin to shreds and mocks the McCain bunch to the point you will be in pain laughing. Sadly it is all true. You can go on line and get a lot of his stuff.

Big Coal's Campaign of Lies
It seems strange for Lord Kadizzle to be assaulting the bread and butter that has put the food on his table for most of his life, but the truth is the truth. Read the article in Rolling Stone. North Dakota is run by a bunch of people who are promoting the lie. If you want a different view you will find it very enlightening.
Kadizzle finds religion
Sysyphus has always been Lord Kadizzles hero. Sysyphus symbolizes the futility of life, and the need to have a problem (see article below). While searching for a picture go to with the article Lord Kadizzle stumbled across the religion that lays claim to the picture. The religion has a lot of appeal, it goes at the problem straight forward. So I present to you:
The Story, so far, of The Church
The Church recognizes that The Savior died for our sins. If one fails to sin then one has chosen to prevent The Savior to save them. Heresy! Logically one must sin as much as possible to allow The Savior to perform his heavenly duties. This is, obviously, a duty that Sysyphus is only too happy to perform as the proud servant of The Savior in the role of El Grand Inquisitor.
The task of ensuring the faithful remain true to The Savior falls to Sysyphus alone. This thankless burden is one that Sysyphus pursues with great zeal. Other duties in the course of serving The Savior is hearing the confessions of the sinners, assigning a penance and offers absolution in the name of The Savior.
The faithful recognize the authority of El Grand Inquisitor as the sole voice of The Savior within The Kingdom of Loafington. Among the expectations of the faithful are complete obedience to The Court and their edicts no matter how ridiculous they may seem.
Heresy against The Church is a serious crime. Some of the more usual transgressions are heresy by thought, heresy by word & heresy by deed. What exactly comprises heresy is pretty much up to the whims of El Grand Inquisitor at that moment in time. Certainly refusing the commands of The Court is right up there as a pretty bad thing to do. Disrespecting The Court, any of the Knights or El Grand Inquisitor will not score any respect from The Court, so remember to behave!
Who exactly is The Savior? Well that’s for El Grand Inquisitor to know and for you to find out… :-)
El Grand Inquisitor is usually available to hear confession from any of the wayward faithful. Usually meaning when He is not busy “reeducating” a heretic or when He is not blitzed from too much communion wine. Remember to keep the confessions on the interesting side as the attention span of El Grand Inquisitor is minimal at best.
An indulgence, in the theology of The Church, is the full or partial remission of temporal punishment due for sins which have already been forgiven. In looser terms it is a get out of jail free card that The Church can give out for something you did, or plan to do, no matter what. Indulgences are available for purchase. El Grand Inquisitor does not accept credit cards, checks, money orders, travelers checks, counter checks or any form of currency. To purchase an indulgence you must offer something other than moolah. Use your imagination. Bags of Frop are always welcome as are Pils of Slack.
Any purified squires who are keen to toy with the idea of becoming an acolyte to El Grand Inquisitor and The Church must know that He has the attention span of an ADD inflicted 12 year old who ran out of Ritalin and must be constantly reminded of your acolyte status. It is possible that Sysyphus will forget who you are and that you already went through His acolyte initiation process unless you do something memorable to make Him remember you! Why someone would have any desire to become an assistant to a mad false prophet is beyond all reason, but El Grand Inquisitor does not judge. Well actually holding others in judgement is pretty much all He does.
The holy symbol of The Church of The Kingdom of Loafington is most apropos as it is not only the symbol for Sysyphus himself, it also represents abject futility. Religion. Abject futility. Yes. Very apropos indeed.
May the blessed light of The Crazy Diamond shine brightly upon thee.

Everyone Needs a Problem
So many times in life someone has come up to me and said "Why does he do that?". My answer is "He needs a problem". Have you ever seen someone with a clear cut simple solution make a project into a complicated mess? Two types come to mind. I know people who either want a sail boat, or an airplane. Instead of just buying one, they make a nightmare out of acquiring one by attempting to build it. One friend started over twelve years ago building a plane and it is still in the garage taking up space and reminding him of the money he wasted. Another friend has worked on a boat for over twenty five years. Look at the people you know and ask yourself how many times they deliberately created a problem for them self when a simple solution was at hand. Look at the results. Sometimes a victory is achieved and the result is terrific, but nine times out of ten it is a disaster. I know a young couple that decided to move a house rather than build one. In retrospect it would have been so simple in cheap to build one, but now they have a problem that will last for years. Most of these attempts start with the delusion "I can save a lot of money". Most of the time they end up as an economic disaster. I always thing back to the time my uncle told me "A dog needs feas'. Dogs have it made, but they need something to battle, fleas are the perfect solution. The dog only knows its good, because the flea reminds him of what bad is. People are just big dogs.

Sleeping at the Rest Stop
The Kadizzles made it to the Snoocher Bear's house. Last night we slept for the second time at the rest stop in Wyoming. Twas a pleasant night in the Bigfoot. The Commander was concerned about the cold, but Lord Kadizzle actually enjoyed it an slept a little better. The day warmed up and we made a stop at the Sierra Trading Post. The Commander got some great bargains and then on to the bears house in the mountains.

Kadizzle Saved Woman from Hell
Last night Lord Kadizzle went to the symphony for the first time in over thirty years. His Lordship sat beside a woman he had spoken with two weeks earlier. The woman was the daughter of two chronic Republicans, and was the sad victim of lifelong exposure to erroneous thinking. In our earlier meeting she promised to vote for Obama, after she was lectured on the evils of Republicanism. To my amazement she said she proudly voted for Obama, and even took a picture of her ballot to show me.
It brings me great joy to know how close this woman was to going to hell when she had the good fortune of meeting me a week before the election. To know one person does not have to suffer eternal damnation because of a small effort I made brings me great joy.

Bonus Bullshit
What is at the root of the current economic crisis is the excessive greed of CEO's and the wealth. If you want an article that will blow the myth of bonuses out of the water read about an experiment done to see how effective bonuses are. The article is in the NYT today Experiments prove people paid huge bonuses actually perform worse. Shove that up the tailpipe of the greedy auto execs asking for bailouts.

A President that can speak English
How refreshing to hear Obama speak. He can put sentences together using real words. Unlike the garbled nonsense of Palin, or the invented words of Bush, Obama uses real words that have meaning and make sense.

Grandpa to be
Sometime in May Lord Kadizzle will become a grampadinian. The Snoocher Bear who lives deep in the woods of the Colorado mountains is going to have a cub. It will be a whole new world for The Commander and Lord Kadizzle. The Commander will manage every breath both Erin and Gilbert take. Oh yes, in the strange mental landscape of the Kadizzles, sister Megan has already named the baby Gilbert. Regardless of sex or Erin's preference Megan now has given the pending arrival the code name Gilbert. Lord Kadizzle has requested a child with a stem, but the bear says she wants the sex to be a surprise, so the flavor will remain a mystery. Lord Kadizzle looks forward to having someone of his own mental capacity he can communicate with. Since his Lordship has six sisters, two daughters, and a wife, one more girl will not be a problem, but being out numbered should have some limits.

The Wordsmith from Wasilla
How anyone could ever doubt Sarah Palin is an idiot is something I cannot comprehend. The following is taken from the NYT:
What on earth are our underpaid teachers, laboring in the vineyards of education, supposed to tell students about the following sentence, committed by the syntax-serial-killer from Wasilla High and gleaned by my colleague Maureen Dowd for preservation for those who ask, “How was it she talked?”
My concern has been the atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue as we spoke about Africa and some of the countries there that were kind of the people succumbing to the dictators and the corruption of some collapsed governments on the continent, the relevance was Alaska’s investment in Darfur with some of our permanent fund dollars.
And, she concluded, “never, ever did I talk about, well, gee, is it a country or a continent, I just don’t know about this issue.”
If you thought George Bush was incapable of the Englich language, Sarah made him look good.

The Crazies never quit
The Bismarck paper has a story on the front page today about how gun dealers are selling so many guns. The simple minded are sure you will not be able to get all the guns you need when Obama takes over. Do I really need to say more about how simple minded these people are or the fact that there are a lot of them. Every election we lose our minds worrying about guns gays and god, and we still have guns, gays, and god every time we have an election. Are people really that stupid? The coffee shop mentality is amazing. According to local conventional wisdom, you can be more sure of what you hear at the coffee shop and bar, than any real news source, unless of course it is Rush or Fox.

Amazing Pheasant Population
The southern boys from North Carolina are here. Lord Kadizzle has been leading them into battle with the vicious pheasants. The numbers of birds in the southwest is almost beyond comprehension. Every field has hundreds of birds. When you go into a big farm yard tree row the birds pour out by the hundreds. The group had some good shooting. His Lordship had an excellent turkey shoot. The birds were coming faster than he could load.

The Most Vile Rat of them all
Once in a while I tune the car radio to Rush Limbaugh. Lord Kadizzle just likes to hear the most vile rat on earth spew his venom. How any one could take the man serious is amazing. He contradicts himself in every sentence. He is the worst spinner ever put on Earth. On my list of people I could kill without an ounce of guilt or remorse he is there beside Pat Robertson robbing old ladies. Any one who has an once of belief in Rush, does not have an once of respect from Lord Kadizzle. At a time when the country is trying to go forward that bloated corpse is on the radio spewing hate.

Nation Finally Bad Enough To Make Social Progress
WASHINGTON—After emerging victorious from one of the most pivotal elections in history, president-elect Barack Obama will assume the role of commander in chief on Jan. 20, shattering a racial barrier the United States is, at long last, shitty enough to overcome.
Faced with losing everything, Americans took a long overdue step forward and elected Barack Obama.
Although polls going into the final weeks of October showed Sen. Obama in the lead, it remained unclear whether the failing economy, dilapidated housing market, crumbling national infrastructure, health care crisis, energy crisis, and five-year-long disastrous war in Iraq had made the nation crappy enough to rise above 300 years of racial prejudice and make lasting change.
"Today the American people have made their voices heard, and they have said, 'Things are finally as terrible as we're willing to tolerate," said Obama, addressing a crowd of unemployed, uninsured, and debt-ridden supporters. "To elect a black man, in this country, and at this time—these last eight years must have really broken you."
Added Obama, "It's a great day for our nation."
Carrying a majority of the popular vote, Obama did especially well among women and young voters, who polls showed were particularly sensitive to the current climate of everything being stolen by the rich. Another contributing factor to Obama's victory, political experts said, may have been the growing number of Americans who, faced with the complete collapse of their country, were at last able to abandon their preconceptions and cast their vote for a progressive African-American.
After enduring eight years of near constant trauma, the United States is, at long last, ready for equality.
Citizens with eyes, ears, and the ability to wake up and realize what truly matters in the end are also believed to have played a crucial role in Tuesday's election.
According to a CNN exit poll, 42 percent of voters said that the nation's financial woes had finally become frightening enough to eclipse such concerns as gay marriage, while 30 percent said that the relentless body count in Iraq was at last harrowing enough to outweigh long ideological debates over abortion. In addition, 28 percent of voters were reportedly too busy paying off medical bills, desperately trying not to lose their homes, or watching their futures disappear to dismiss Obama any longer.
"The election of our first African-American president truly shows how far we've come as a nation," said NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams. "Just eight years ago, this moment would have been unthinkable. But finally we, as a country, have joined together, realized we've reached rock bottom, and for the first time voted for a candidate based on his policies rather than the color of his skin."
"Today Americans have grudgingly taken a giant leap forward," Williams continued. "And all it took was severe economic downturn, a bloody and unjust war, terrorist attacks on lower Manhattan, nearly 2,000 deaths in New Orleans, and more than three centuries of frequently violent racial turmoil."
Said Williams, "The American people should be commended for their long-overdue courage."
Obama's victory is being called the most significant change in politics since the 1992 election, when a full-scale economic recession led voters to momentarily ignore the fact that candidate Bill Clinton had once smoked marijuana. While many believed things had once again reached an all-time low in 2004, the successful reelection of President George W. Bush—despite historically low approval ratings nationwide—proved that things were not quite shitty enough to challenge the already pretty shitty status quo.
"If Obama learned one thing from his predecessors, it's that timing means everything," said Dr. James Pung, a professor of political science at Princeton University. "Less than a decade ago, Al Gore made the crucial mistake of suggesting we should care about preserving the environment before it became unavoidably clear that global warming would kill us all, and in 2004, John Kerry cost himself the presidency by saying we should pull out of Iraq months before everyone realized our invasion had become a complete and total quagmire."
"Obama had the foresight to run for president at a time when being an African-American was not as important to Americans as, say, the ability to clothe and feed their children," Pung continued. "An election like this only comes once, maybe twice, in a lifetime."
As we enter a new era of equality for all people, the election of Barack Obama will decidedly be a milestone in U.S. history, undeniable proof that Americans, when pushed to the very brink, are willing to look past outward appearances and judge a person by the quality of his character and strength of his record. So as long as that person is not a woman.
Bladizzled, and waiting for the president of France to call
The blizzard has struck, The Commander is sick with a terrible cold,and the North Carolina boys are coming today. They will get their little southern tukasas shocked when the step off the plane in Bismarck. The roads here are a mess. Do you know Africa is a continent, not a country? If you do please call Alaska 911 and let Sara know. That simple minded idiot also thinks she got a call from the president of France. Of course in the best tradition of the McCain campaign when Sarah knew for three days she was going to get a (prank but she did not know it) call. Her side never bothered to relay the message to the McCain side. Surely even those dingers would have told her to check it out. So she takes the call and proves once again she is an idiot.

Arthur Little said it all in high school
Lord Kadizzle went to High School in Wheeling, West Virginia. In our high school there were a hand full of black kids. For the most part they were all great kids. Arthur Little was a small black kid Lord Kadizzle had gym class with. We would pretend to box. Arthur could hit me twice before I could land one punch. Once in a while just out of the clear blue sky Arthur would break out and recite Emily Dickenson.
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us — don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
Arthur said it so eloquently. I was a poor kid, and felt like a social outcast, so it really hit home with me. To this day I feel so bad about what those black kids had to go through. They were troupers. They were in the school plays, and sang like angles. Having black kids in school was one of the greatest blessings in my life. There were no black kids until I got to high school. One day Arthur invited me to his house in Triadelphia. Arthur lived in an old coal mining camp. For wall paper there was just newspaper. When I realized how hard these kids had it, and how they managed to keep their heads up, I found it awful hard to feel sorry for myself. To this day I can hear Arthur just coming up to me and saying "I am nobody, who are you?" I am so happy for Arthur today, and I am so dismayed by the people I know who would have thought for one moment to deprive him of what has always been his, a right to be somebody.

Neighbors suffer from genetic defect, fail to vote Democratic
A Blizzard in Hazen
No work today, the first Blizzard of the year is here. It will be nice to sit home and waste a day. Lord Kadizzle and The Commander both now have the double episodic. Reading the New York times this morning his Lordship saw a quote from a European that the election was like the Berlin wall coming down. In so many ways it was. A friend called last night and asked me what I was going to bitch about now. Good question, the dunderheads still provide plenty of fodder. It would be so nice if North Dakota was not populated by so many gumples. My dear friend Gertie has not stopped by for wine in a while, but she is sure Obama is a terrorist. Gertie's husband told me he was terrified Obama would get elected. I can just see him sitting in a corner scared to death. What scares me the most is the wreckage left by Bush. My savings have been devastated, and the Bush mess will take a generation to clean up. The spinners will blame everything on the Democrats within a month. Did you hear about Palin having a phony conversation with what she thought was the president of France. She out did herself in the nitwit category, and her staff proved even dumber.

Lord Kadizzle installs new door in his house for Republicans
Last night after the election returns I got a call from a good Republican friend. I asked my old friend how he felt when he saw the tears in the eyes of the black people in Chicago at Obama's acceptance rally. My friend said " I really feel small". He went on to say that seeing the pride and happiness of the young black kids made him feel an inch tall, and he wished he had never voted for McCain. I tried to cheer him up by telling him about the new door we just installed for people like him.
They live in a small world
I don't know how anyone could watch the crowd in Chicago celebrating the defeat of racism, and small minded Republicanism and not feel the ultimate joy. The crowd in Chicago was full of people of every race and age. The McCain bunch portrayed exactly who they were, a bunch of rich white people with a sense of entitlement. My main feeling for the people who supported McCain is sorrow. An old friend of mine used to say "He lives in a small world". The sadness of living in a small world driven by greed, racism, urban legends, Rush Limbaughs, and Bill O'Rielly's is truely a punishment these people have inflicted on themselves. The big world they don't get to experience is a wonderful place where people are unshackled from stupidity, fundamentalism, and materialism. I just thank god I did not have to look into the face of a black person crying with joy in Chicago, and know I voted for McCain. I have never in my life felt better about a vote I cast than right now. If Obama is a complete failure as a president, he has done more for the world by simply getting elected than the Republicans have since they made the terrible mistake of of electing Ronald Reagen

The Sun Also Rises
Maybe I am wrong, but I strongly feel those obsessed with greed, selfishness, racism, and ignorance are going to crawl back in their caves today. In the cave they can read urban legends, hide from terrorist, listen to Rush, watch Fox News, and do what they do without ruining the country like they have for the last eight years.
Nothing is going to restore my confidence in this country more than the election of Barrack Obama. Americans are going to rise up and show they can overcome the propaganda of those who favor a select few at the expense of so many. My car used to have the bumper stick. "Never have so few, taken so much, from so many, for so long" I pray today "So Long" is over.

A moving video, with a great story
Watch this video and it will bring tears to your eyes. If you watch and still vote for McCain, you should have tears in your eyes because of what you did. Click Here
Bismarck Tribune "Were stupid, and we are proud"
Today Lord Kadizzle came home from a wonderful weekend only to see the Bismarck Tribune endorsed McCain. What an embarrassment, apparently the editors don't read anything but the Rush Limbaugh news letter, and the National Inquirer. The editors seemed to totally overlook the fact that Sarah Palin is a certified idiot. What about Colin Powell's wonderful endorsement of Obama? Did they read it, or see it? What about William F. Buckly Jr. jumping ship? Never have so many prominent people jumped the Republican ship, but our local idiots just don't get it. The week before this they ran dozens of abortion letters, daaa. Of course they also gave prominent play to the gun guys. It is truly an embarrassment to have the Bismarck Tribune dropped in front of my home.

Blue States Cecede from Red States
Dear Red States,
We've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and we're
taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware, that
includes Hawaii, California, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Illinois, New York, and all of the Northeastern states. After this
election, we'll be adding Colorado and New Mexico. We believe this split
will be beneficial to the nation, especially to the people of our new
country - Nuevo California.
To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states; we get
stem cell research, the best beaches, and the best ski resorts. We get the
Statue of Liberty; you get Dollywood.
We get Intel and Microsoft; you get WorldCom. We get Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Cal Tech, MIT and
Columbia; you get Ole' Miss. We get 85 percent of America's venture capital
and entrepreneurs; you get Alabama.
We get two-thirds of the tax revenue; you get to make the red states pay their fair share.
Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than that of the
Christian Coalition, we get a bunch of happy families and you get a bunch of
under-educated single moms.
Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war, and
we'll need all of our citizens back from Iraq at once.
If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They apparently have
kids they're willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don't
mind if you don't televise their kid's caskets coming home. We do wish you
success in Iraq and hope that those Weapons of Mass Destruction turn up for
you, but we're not willing to spend any more of our money in Bush's
Quagmire.
With the Blue States, we will control 80 percent of the country's fresh
water, 90 percent of pineapple and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's fresh
fruit, 97 percent of America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at
your state dinners), 90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech
industry, most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias
and condors, and all the Ivy League and Seven Sister schools. We also get
New England, the Great Lakes and Yosemite, thank you very much.
In the Red States, you will have to cope with 88 percent of all obese
Americans and their projected health care costs, 92 percent of all U.S.
mosquitoes, 100 percent of tornadoes, 94 percent of hurricanes, 99 percent
of Southern Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all televangelists, as well as Rush
Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bob Jones University, and Clemson.
Additionally, in the Red States, 38 percent actually believe Jonah was
swallowed by a whale; 62 percent believe life is sacred unless it involves
the death penalty or gun ownership; 44 percent claim that evolution is only
a theory; 53 percent insist that Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11; and 61
percent of you crazy bastards believe you have higher moral standards than
those of us on the left.
By the way, we're taking all the good pot, too. You get that dirt weed from
Mexico and Kansas ditches.
Peace out,
The Blue States

and entrepreneurs; you get Alabama.
We get two-thirds of the tax revenue; you get to make the red states pay their fair share.
Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than that of the
Christian Coalition, we get a bunch of happy families and you get a bunch of
under-educated single moms.
Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war, and
we'll need all of our citizens back from Iraq at once.
If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They apparently have
kids they're willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don't
mind if you don't televise their kid's caskets coming home. We do wish you
success in Iraq and hope that those Weapons of Mass Destruction turn up for
you, but we're not willing to spend any more of our money in Bush's
Quagmire.
With the Blue States, we will control 80 percent of the country's fresh
water, 90 percent of pineapple and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's fresh
fruit, 97 percent of America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at
your state dinners), 90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech
industry, most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias
and condors, and all the Ivy League and Seven Sister schools. We also get
New England, the Great Lakes and Yosemite, thank you very much.
In the Red States, you will have to cope with 88 percent of all obese
Americans and their projected health care costs, 92 percent of all U.S.
mosquitoes, 100 percent of tornadoes, 94 percent of hurricanes, 99 percent
of Southern Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all televangelists, as well as Rush
Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bob Jones University, and Clemson.
Additionally, in the Red States, 38 percent actually believe Jonah was
swallowed by a whale; 62 percent believe life is sacred unless it involves
the death penalty or gun ownership; 44 percent claim that evolution is only
a theory; 53 percent insist that Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11; and 61
percent of you crazy bastards believe you have higher moral standards than
those of us on the left.
By the way, we're taking all the good pot, too. You get that dirt weed from
Mexico and Kansas ditches.
Peace out,
The Blue States
Old whistle dick here couldn't get laid in a mortuary!!
Years ago with my brother Colin I worked for old Lutrel Davis. Lute as they called him had some old country sayings that have stuck with me my whole life. One was the term "Whistle dick". This morning I decided to look up the definition and came across the quote above. During my time since working with Lute, most of my problems have been caused by whistle dicks. Another saying old Lute had was "Don't strain your milk". Colin or I would start to lift something heavy, and Lute would say "Don't strain your milk". The other day I was working in yard and my neighbor used the term. It was the first time I have heard it in forty years. Remembering my brother Colin I thing of the time he renamed a Christian crusade. A bunch of fundies started a movement called "Dare to be Great". The fundies were running around the south ripping off the ignorant. Colin called the group "Dare to be Stupid". Vote for McCain, and you can join the movement.

Talking to my friend the Old Goat
Last night I spoke with my friend the Old Goat on the phone. The Old Goat is famous for his quote "Education just confuses people'. The Goat says he is "scared to death" Obama will be elected. Even though he has been forced to downsize from two houses to one, even though his son in laws brokerage business has been devastated he is worried about Obama. What could Obama do to him that George, and the Republicans have not already perfected. Mrs. Goat also spoke to me. She was still sure there is some sort of terrorist conspiracy behind Obama. Even though I personally took Mrs. Goat to the sources of the lies, Mrs Goat is sure Obama is pallin around with terrorist. If Satan were a Republican the Goats would vote for him over Jesus. I think Jeeesus was palin around with twelve terrorist according to urban legends in Hazen, that would be the rumor if Jeesus was running as a Democrat. Of course sharing has now been relabeled socialism.

Stuck in the Past
The saddest thing in this election are the people stuck in the past. The people who cannot bring themselves to go forward. After the ultimate failure of Republican stupidity it is so sad to see people still willing to give it another try.
One thing that is being marched out at the last moment is the old abortion jazz. As I have said before if the Republicans really wanted to do anything about abortion, they clearly could have when they controlled everything, but they want to be able to march it out like they have in the last few days to bring the faithful in line. It is like old faithful for the terminally stupid.

Education just confuses people
No one ever summed up the Republican position better than my neighbor when he told me "Education just confuses people". He could have added it also makes people very uncomfortable. Recently I tried to engage several old right wing friends in a dialogue about the merits of Barrack Obama, versus McCain. When they could not respond with logic, and knew the only bastion they had was emotions, they ran like chickens in the barnyard. My daughter and I both were inspired by Colin Powell. In a country that purports religious freedom, we have a party that is making it shameful to be a Muslim. We have a party that is encouraging hate and fear. I think it is time to take a stand when people like McCain and Palin put out a message that make Muslim children feel they are not part of the American dream. McCain and Palin want to make it clear "He is not like us". McCain had a Freudian slip when he called Obama "That one" in the debate. That remark said it all. No matter how hard they try nothing seems to stick. First he was a terrorist, next a socialist, and now a communist. When the government paves the way for money to go to corporations it is just good economic decision making. But when government sends the money to the working man it is evil socialism

See the video of our big cement pour
Minnkota Video Click on this link to see the concrete pour at Minnkota which kept me up all night. This was the biggest continous concrete pour in the United States in the last ten years.
Socialism, the new scare word, will it work
Socialism is the new buzz word McCain has pulled out is Socialism. Here we go, next lets move to calling Obama a communist. No one seems to mind socialism when the wealth is redistributed to the rich.
Rich, Racist, Republican, Guns, Gays, God
Fox News or F*** News
Fox News is such sorrowful propaganda it is beyond belief. Calling itself news is the first major misrepresentation. The poor people on that show have had so much shot out from under them they just don't know which way to spin. Dealing with Colin Powell and Sara Palin. What can they do? Yesterday they did a half hour show trying to imply Obama was part of the weather underground. They are hopelessly nuts. Anyone who cannot see thru their game would have a great time in Nazi Germany. Nothing adds up on that channel. When they use Rush Limbaugh to dis Colin Powell the spin is so obvious, and their hopeless state is so evident. When you have to use Rush Limbaugh as a source you are hurting.

Explosion
William F. Buckly's son has split with the far right and endorsed Obama. Buckly blast Bush. This is like the Devil endorsing Jesus. Below is part of a Washington Post article.
In that piece, Buckley said that he has known McCain since 1982 and once wrote a speech for him but that the senator has changed, airing "mean-spirited and pointless" attack ads and -- "What on earth can he have been thinking?" -- picking Sarah Palin as his running mate. While the result was "genuinely saddening" and even "tragic" for the country, Buckley wrote, he had concluded that Obama has a "first-class temperament and a first-class intellect" and could be a great president. That is, "assuming anyone gives a fig" about his views.

Banking nit wit
Yesterday, the good Lord Kadizzle attended Judge's retraining in Bismarck. A sorrowful mousy man of a banker made the comment that yesterdays gain in the stock market was the largest ever. I pointed out to the nit wit that it would have to happen every day for a week for us to get back to normal. Imagine a ship that sinks and goes aground on a reef. The ship half fills with water. The tide goes out and the water level in the ship goes down. Now some idiot says the ship is repairing itself. My hat is off to this simple minded Republican banker who can't see the forest for the trees.
Perhaps the tide has turned.
The high school students in Beulah the small town to the west of us have split evenly on a mock vote for president. The dingers seem to be awakening. After being hit with an economic 2 x 4 it seems like the dunder heads are starting to see the light. The worst knuckle heads on the planet, the North Dakota knuckle heads seem to be coming around. If you look at the stock market and cannot see Bush written all over the mess you don't have a chance of ever becoming conscious. The dream of all dreams may come true, the Red state of North Dakota could get blood to the brain and activity may be detected at the poles. Probably just a dream, but hope springs eternal

Sarah Palin doesn't read, but if you do read this
The New York Times has some dyanmite editorials today. you can see them on line. Be careful education just confuses people, perhaps that is why Sara stays away from that stuff, but if like to use your head "For more than a hat rack", as my mother used to say, read it and have a good time.

Republicans myth busted
Anyone who still thinks the Republican myth of welfare for the rich still works please call. For years Lord Kadizzle has been saying you cannot run an economy where one percent of the population gets 33 percent of the income. The chickens have come home to roost. If you still believe in this Republican trickle down disaster call me I want to know who the hard core idiots are. The total nonsense promoted by Bush ect has now fully exposed itself. This country had a surplus when Bush came into office. Please, please, tell me how you are going to blame this on anyone else. Now, McNasty tells us he is going to continue the tax cuts for the rich! Are we insane?

We need "That One"
McCain showed his colors last night when he called Obama "That One"'. I cannot believe anyone with a functioning mind could not see the clear intellectual superiority of Obama in the debate, but remember, Sara Palin has made using your mind a bad thing. Remember those Eastern intellectuals. As my old Republican friend up the street says "Education just confuses people". The McCain camp seems to now be using secret race innuendos. McCain showed his meanest possible side and may as well have said "That N word". What a scum, and what would you expect from someone who would chose Palin?

The Real McCain
Either Rolling Stone is quite a liar, or this is an amazing tale. You got to read Make Believe Maverick
This blows the lid off the McCain nonsense.
This blows the lid off the McCain nonsense.
Are we a country of idiots?
The Sarah Palin phenomenon has done more to destroy my faith in our country than anything I have experienced in my adult life. That such a simple minded person could be chosen to run for the vice presidency, and the fact that so many people could be taken in by this ploy has made me doubt what Americans read, what kind of education they have, and confirms how easily Americans can be sold a bill of goods. At one time I might have been able to rationalize voting for John McCain, however the fact that he has chosen Sarah Palin to run with him has totally shocked me about his desperation to win office. McCain could have chosen from a wide range of people such as Bloomberg, or even the Morman. Choosing a total nitwit to engage the NASCAR, Joe Six Pack, Hockey Mom, bunch is incomprehensible. If you are considering voting for McCain please let me know something about how your mind works. I wake up everyday feeling like I am on another planet that has a far greater population of uneducated than I ever believed in my worst nightmare. The percentage of people that still think Iraq attacked the World Trade Center is the benchmark for American Stupidity. I think the last survey said forty percent of Americans believe it was Iraq that attacked us. I like to think 28 percent of Americans are hard core stupid. We could live with that number, but I fear the number is far greater. Out of curiosity I try to ask a lot of people who they are going to vote for. Every time I deal with a McCain supporter I ask "Why?" Each time I get a blank stare and no answer. The number of prejudiced people is amazing. They cannot say it out right, but they make a strong hint they cannot vote for a black person. The classic was a fundamentalist friend who said at my kitchen table, "I could not vote for a black or a woman for president', and this man claims to be a hard core Christian. For eight years we have lived with another total idiot as president, a man who cannot speak the language, a man incapable of telling the truth, and a man who has destroyed the American economy at the same time he has wasted countless American lives. If we risk the possibility that an even worse mental disaster like Sarah Palin could become president, who should we blame. I suggest we blame the people who failed to speak out as the train heads toward disaster. There were people in Germany who saw Hitler for what he was, and remained silent. If the disaster occurs, and we have the ultimate embarrassment for vice president, and old McCain goes south from cancer, I will send you this email again. I spoke out before we elected the last idiot, and it did no good, but I am willing to give it another try.

Fox spin beyond belief with Palin
Sarah Palin thought the supreme court was a food court when she was talking to Katie Couric. Now, they pumped that moron full of supreme court cases and sent her to Fox news to recite her vast knowledge. A week ago she did not know ONE supreme court case she disagreed with, and now magically she can reel them off. If this doesn't expose her and Fox News as the biggest pile of crap, give me a break.

A "Shout out for Sara Palin"
What an idiot! Did you see the debate? How could anyone with a brain want someone to be president that cannot answer a question to save her life. This woman is hopeless and an embarrassment to women. Lets have a "Shout out" for anyone impressed by this sorrowful Mrs. Joe six pack, who as my wife pointed out is a fundy. A fundy promoting Joe six pack?

Palin is an idiot, plain and simple
How easily people can fall for a ditzy airhead is amazing. Oh! she is so cute, love the glasses, but she is an idiot. How could anyone take a chance on her becoming president? Walking about on the planet I have asked many people who they are going to vote for. It is amazing the number of people who say McCain, but when I ask why they look with a blank stare. Are they afraid of black people? All they can answer with it, "It just feels like I should". Everyday I wake up and it feels like I should eat, but I shouldn't. The dumbing down of our county is beyond belief.

I am sold on idiocy
My emotions have taken over and I am going to vote for the woman with the neat glasses. Anyone who can shoot a moose, can surely defend me from a liberal that wants to take my gun, my Bible, and force my children to learn about sex. Voting emotionally is great, you just let yourself get scared, and the rest is downhill. Emotional voting involves no reading, no thinking, and all you have to do is get a few urban legends from your friends that are dumber than you are and the rest is down hill. Bush is my kind of guy, he talks like a bubba, and runs the country like a bubba. He is a guy I can relate to. Palin is the best bubbett a NASCAR husband could have. One thing I learned in school is that those people who read a lot and study complicated issues just make it hard on the rest of us. Palin is the kind of gal who can protect us from those people who make their decisions based on research. We all know there is no global warming, and Sarah knows it to. Just because people are educated doesn't mean they know anything. They never shot a moose or ran a small town. McCain is an old guy, but he has the neatest cheerleader ever, Obama just has that Biden guy, and we all know Biden never shot a moose or ran a small town, besides there is nothing spiffy about him. We all need to band together and vote for the first cute vice-president ever. Lets show the world we are not going to be fooled by science, liberal journalist, and reality peddlers. It is time to stand up against intellectualism, and vote with the way you feel. If it looks good, it probably is, thats all the farther you need to go. Don't let the left wing liberals trick you into reading stuff that may confuse you. If it seems right it is right
