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

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.

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.

Today's Assignment

Be sure to read Tom Friedman's article in the NYT today. There will be a test.

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.

Sock and Awe

A loyal follower sent in the following game called Sock and Awe. You score points by throwing shoes at Bush as he ducks behind the podium. Click to play

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.

Report from the Dakotas

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.
