Defeat Wall Street Greed, "Move your Money"

Kadizzle got a good link from a contributer to day. "Move your Money" is a grass roots effort to get people to quit patronizing the big Wall Street Banks, and let the small banks do the job. If people actually did what the article advocates the greedy bastards on Wall Street could bed brought to their senses. The secondary benefit would be that your own local area would actually be better off.

Hazen Blast off Slow to Go

Lord Kadizzle, and The Commander are having a slow launch from Hazen. Two weather windows are necessary. First we have to get to Denver, then onto somewhere warm enought that the Kadizzle capsule will not freeze at night.

Technology is totally out of control.


As usual Lord Kadizzle got up to read the paper and get up to date on the laptop. After delivering the mandatory coffee to The Commander, along with the newspaper, Kadizzle sat down to enjoy the New York Times on line. Then an instant message popped up from that blasted Christmas elf pictured below. The elf was ordering coffee from the bed room. Kadizzle shot back that cyber coffee was not available until 9 A. M., but the Christmas elf would not quit. Since the elf did clean up the kitchen last night Kadizzle caved in and made the elf the coffee.

Christmas Elf Caught in the Act



My pretty little elf was hard at work wrapping presents.

The Amazing roll over

Yesterday it was as if ten adults were watching a space launch, but that wasn't the case. My new granddaughter Ticklepinch was doing her version of acrobatics on the floor. From the intent following of the crowd it could have been an Olympic gymnastic event. Every move was praised and enjoyed in amazement. A few attempts to crawl highlighted the performance, but collapse meant it would be another day. The judges held up 10's for a couple of the roll overs that were executed cleanly and quickly. That so much pleasure could be derived from the performance of an awkward midget brings hope for a new reality show. Perhaps baby Olympics could become a staple on cable.

May God Strike down my opponent

In the health care debate few things have been more bizarre than a Republican that stood on the floor of the senate and suggested that people pray a Democrat could not make it to the vote. The Republican seemed to be hoping God could find it in his heart to call Senator Bird home before the vote. Two other simple minded Republicans were involved in a prayer fest against health care. Imagine elected representatives actually praying health care reform would fail. To top it all of in the past week a couple of Republican senators were found to be involved in instituting the death penalty for homosexuals in Uganda. These people are simply insane.

Citing Sources

Poor old Lord Kadizzle has been in an endless battle with the Hoopleheads over health care. The Hoopleheads have accused Kadizzle of a failure to cite sources. Kadizzle has cited The Harvard Medical Review, The Economist, Newsweek, The OECD, The World Health Organization, The CIA Factbook, Nationmaster, The Washington Post, The New York Times, and a host of other sources, yet the Hooples claim Kadizzle has no facts. On the other hand the Hooples have never cited a singel source. Hooples have a strange view of what constitutes a fact. A Hooplhead believes that facts spring from public opinion or polls. If you hear a lot of people say something it must be true. If something is said a lot on Fox News it must be a fact. If someone you agree with most of the time says something it is a fact. If the people at the coffee shop believe it, it is true. When you argue with a hoople it becomes evident they never had an formal training in logic, research, or science. The whole concept of numbers and statistics baffles them. Percentages make their heads spin.

Haircut and an oil change?

Leave it to Hazen to have the first gas station where you can get your hair trimmed while they change your oil. Down at what used to be the B & H gas station you can have you hair done in high fashion. As your car goes up on the lift you get jacked up in the beauty chair. You and your car will emerge refreshed. When I complained to the young lady doing my hair that my hair was oily she said "What do you expect this is a gas station". Now, when I take the car to the gas station, I say " Put in a little Penziol, and take some off around the ears".

Grandpa Kadizzle

Christmas has come full circle. Kadizzle and The Commander are grandparents this year. Now, every social event reveals the children of the children. Grandizzle feels both young and old from the new status. The young ones are refreshing, but proof Kadizzle has been around awhile. Life is flying by. Thirty some years ago the Kadizzles got up and brought Erin in our room for a morning snookle, this morning Sylvie is babbling away with Granny and Ein in the same spot.

Pheasant Season draws to a close.

The Commander has been out for blood the last two days. The Chinese Ring Neck Pheasant that have invaded North Dakota must be hunted down and put in the frying pan. That is what happened and The Commanders newly invented recipe was pretty good. If someone would just find a good recipe for the Taliban. Two days ago we had a terrific hunt. We both got our limit in a fairly short time. Saw lots of birds and got a little exercise. Yesterday we went to exactly the place were we saw many, many, pheasants, and some grouse. Not a thing. We walked and walked and so no birds. How that many birds disappeared is a mystery. We did manage to get two stragglers in some other areas. The Commander says we are putting the hunting gear away, but we may make one more trek to the south west. The land of milk and honey.

Verus Guy has a point.

"We have met the enemy, and he is us". Poor old Lord Kadizzle has to admit, the worst enemy of the left at this time is the left. Sell outs like our Democratic Senator Kent Conrad have done more to torpedo us than the right. Any person willing to take the time and do some research on statistics can see our country spends about five percent more of our GDP for health care than any of the countries that out perform us. Do you ever hear this from the liberals pushing for health care reform? The people who have succeeded with health care are the countries that have cut out the insurance companies. Cleverly the Republicans have hijacked the word socialism. Republicans have made it into a bad thing. Now the left is afraid to mention the word and use it as an example of what works. Because the left will not simply dispel the lies of the right by pointing to data that shows what works, the right gets the upper hand with the simple minded. The right knew if they got abortion into the debate it would stir up the Hooples. Good go right. The biggest mistake of the left was pointed out by Kieth Olberman a while back. Had the liberals called health care reform medicare for everyone, it would have cast the thinking in a different light. Scaring people and misinforming them is so easy. Whipping stupid people into a frenzy is just a matter of putting some adds on TV that Democrats want to kill grandma. Once the right makes up a story, it needs to be shot up quickly. However, the left always misunderstands how stupid people really are. Who would believe you are going to kill grandma? Most people think this is ridiculous, but there is a hard core group of simple minded that believes it. These are the same people that believe Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.

Lying, deceit, scare tactis pay off, Hoopleheads baffled.

Kadizzle is losing the faith. It looks like the Hooples are being led to the slaughter. There will be no meaningful health care reform. Big business has shown once again who owns the country. Buying a few Senators, some adds, and a barrage of lies has worked. The Hooples are easy to sell and easy to scare. Kadizzle has challenged every right winger he can to show any data that the single payer systems in Europe don't work. Data has no bearing on reality for the Hoopleheads. All the data says the countries that have adopted single payer have cheaper health care with better outcomes, but no one wants to hear the truth, it is much simpler to let Fox lead them in circles. Only when there is a complete crises will the Hoopleheads finally realize the house is on fire.

Pheasant Frustration

The problem with pheasants is they keep getting smarter, and Kadizzle keeps getting dumber. Yesterday, old Kadizzle made two long shots. Manage to recover one bird, but the other one hid and will live to fight again. Later in the day Kadizzle peaked in the gun chamber. Once in awhile Kadizzle forgets to chamber a round, so he peaks in the chamber to make sure the gun is loaded. Unfortunately the bold did not close all the way. Up popped the cackler, it was a dead on shot, but the gun did not go off. That fellow would have had underwear full of lead, but now he is home enjoying a brandy on a cold winter day.

Winter is decending

It is time to go south soon. The cold has settled on the little village, and who wants to stay here and freeze. So far it has been relatively mild, and the snow has been light. Light snow is a mixed blessing. It helps the pheasants survive, but it keeps the lake from filling next spring.

A Church that does not preach hate and competition.

For the first time in a long time Lord Kadizzle sat in a church, or perhaps it was not. At any rate Kadizzle was sitting in the Unitarian meeting hall. It was so refreshing to be in a place where people came together and had no God competition. Believe what you want, just don't hurt anyone seemed to be the message. There were no silly bible versus, and no one being threatened with hell. There was none of the "we got it right and all the other gangs are wrong". If Kadizzle ever joined a group that would be it. These people are for social justice. Funny how it turns out that the people who feel discriminated against all turn up at the Unitarian church. The silly old Lutheran's in our town have their underwear all in a knot because of homosexuality. At the Universal church that got over that nonsense fifty years age, and are working on real problems like health care. It was so refreshing to know that there is a place where rational people can come together and discus something besides how many angels can dance on the head of pin.

Now for the clincher. The nature of the ceremony at the Unitarian meeting meant that about half the attendants were not members. The whole ceremony was a wonderful celebration of dedicating children. To Kadizzles amazement a non member complained after the ceremony that the word "comrade" was used twice in a hymn. The ability of those on the right to find evil lurking everywhere is astonishing. Comrade has been turned into a dirty word by the right, just like the new dirty word is socialist. Stealing the meaning of words is a trick Karl Rove perfected for the Republicans. The word comrade has no evil connotation, unless you seek to give it that meaning. Evil is in the eye of the beholder. Checking the definition Kadizzle found it could be used as a very good endearing term, yet my good friend the hard core right winger could only see the worst possible connotation. So much for fellowship.

Woman Caught in Hazen on Dick Cheney's Motorcycle


Frequently the motorcycle gang in Stanton sends someone over to Hazen for supplies. Today the same police chief who threatened a local resident for allowing his decrotive reindeer to fornicate on the lawn, captured one of the Stanton Gang on Dick Cheney's War Duck motorcycle. Apparently the cycle was stolen from Cheney when he was wheelchair bound. The motorcycle was very dear to Cheney, he used it to run over the truth, spread hate and discontent, and go to his rallies that attack anything Obama does. Cheney claims most of his ideas to help the rich come to him while he rides his War Duck motorcycle through poor neighborhoods to observe the destruction he has created.

When police Chief Dahl approached Shavanda on the cycle and demanded she return it. Shavanda shouted " I'll give this cycle back to his sorry white ass, when he gives the country back". With squealing tires she left Dahl in a cloud of smoke and the War Duck was on the road screaming to Stanton. Back at cult headquaters of the motorcycle gang on Strawberrry hill rumors have leaked that their leader Mad Dog Kerns is working on a weapon in case troops are sent to recapture the War Duck. Mad Dog knows Cheney fears weapons of mass destruction, so Mad Dog is working on a machine that will turn out right wing lies so fast it will drive the nation into a frenzy of stupidity.

The CIA reports the Stanton motorcycle gang has been trying to acquired stupidium form Fox News. Stupidium can only be made with complicated centrifuges that spin the brains out of Hoopleheads. Although there are abundant Hoopleheads in North Dakota the process is slow and complicated because of the small size of the brains you have to work with, but if anyone could perfect it, an undisclosed CIA source said it is Mad Dog Kerns.

Gangland Boss found in Evergreen Colorado


"Yous guys got any questions?" In an exclusive interview with the reputed gang leader of the Bear gang, Lord Kadizzle had a rare glimpse into how the organization is run. The big boss seen here explained that she likes a stiff drink early in the morning just to get her going. At around eight her body guard Katie shows up and picks out an outfit. Great care goes into picking something that will give the tuff look. Usually after the boss has had some breakfast, there might be a little nap. Around ten things begin to jump. The boss get into the jumpero and jumps up and down shouting orders. With the gang gathered around they listen to every remark. Although no one is sure what the boss is saying or wants they all pretend to understand every word. Watching the boss jump is like the clip of Rush Limbaugh Kieth Olbermann shows every night. The boss waves her hands and makes unintelligible proclamations, just like Limbaugh. Fortunately the little boss is a lot smarter. If the gang is lucky the boss goes back for another nap, and the terrorized gang members have a rest.

Telephone Excitement, and I don't mean phone sex

Kadizzles New York Daughter called in a frenzy. Megan lost her phone. Technology has reached new hieghts. Megan has an iphone. You can have the phone tell you where it is. We managed to find the phone in the street in New York City, before a car ran it over. When the phone is lost you can have it make a noise and you can also post a message on the phone telling the finder where to call. Megan found the phone and called, but her call was interrupted. The Commander assumed some evil empire got the phone, and started to make wild assumptions about how the evil empire would delibrately steal the phone. Part of the beauty of the phone is that if someone does take it you can see on a map where they are going, provided they leave the phone on.

First Romantic project was building outhouse


In a land far away, in the distant past when The Commander and Kadizzle first met, they spent a summer in the wilderness of West Virginia. The Quinn family had a very rustic farm in the boonies of West Virginia. The farm was frequently refferred to as a brush farm. You could spend weeks there alone or with The Commander. The farm had no electricity, no running water, but it did have free natural gas right from the gas well. With no running water an outhouse was mandatory. The old shack was in sad disrepair so we set out to make a new one. The new outhouse was to be somewhat high tech. Our first great brainstorm was to make the base out of the outhouse from an old steel car top carrier. We cast the carrier into concrete. The beauty of this base was that now you had a mobile outhouse. If the hole filled up, you could attach the tractor to the outhouse and drag it to a new nesting place. The outhouse had two other unique features. The roof was made from plexi-glass, so this was one of the first solar powered outhouses known to man. The greatest innovation of all was Dutch doors. The fine new outhouse overlooked the county road. Although someone using the road was a very rare event, you could open the top half of the outhouse door and wave to the passerby as you read the Sears Roebuck. Almost forgot to mention that an old steel five gallon bucket was cast into the concrete to support the most modern of toilet seats. That whole construction process took place in about 1971. To the best of my knowledge that outhouse is still sitting there. If my ambition gland perks a bit I may google the location. I am sure this will be a historical site. If that outhouse still stands it is 38 years old.

That little shack out back


They passed an ordinance in the town they said we'd have to tear it down
That little old shack out back so dear to me
Though the health department said its day was over and dead
It will stand forever in my memory
Don't let them tear that little brown building down
Don't let them tear that precious building down
Don't let them tear that dear old building down
There's not another like it in the country or the town

It was not so long ago that I went tripping through the snow
Out to that house behind my old hound dog
Where I would sit me down to rest like a snowbird on his nest
And I'd read that Sears and Roebuck catalog
Oh I would hum a happy tune peeping through the quarter moon
As my daddy's kin had done so much before
It was in that quiet spot daily cares could be forgot
And it gave the same relief to rich and poor
Don't let them tear...

Now it was not a castle fair but I could dream of future there
Build my castle to the yellow jackets drone
I could orbit round the sun fight with General Washington
Or be a king upon a golden throne
It wasn't fancy built at all we had newspapers on the wall
It was air-conditioned in the wintertime
Oh it was just an humble hut but its door was never shut
And a man could get inside without a dime
Don't let them tear...

Why we cannot have health care.

Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America:
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity,..."

"Section 8.
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and PROVIDE FOR THE common defense and GENERAL WELFARE of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;..."

Twice in our Constitution it mentions "general welfare" What constitutes 'General Welfare'?
The old-age benefits provisions of the Social Security Act of 1935 is an example of providing for the 'general welfare'. Medicaid/Medicare are 2 more examples of providing for the 'general welfare'.
How is providing health care for all any different? How is the 'public option' with it's opt in/out constitutional, because it would not then be uniform across the states?

We are trying to jump a chasm by playing hop-scotch across it. Every other industrialized nation has a form of Universal Health Care. None of those other countries want to go back to what they had before. And for sure, absolutely none of them want what we have now for health care in this country.
So why is it so hard to go with the most obvious, the most humane course of action, which is what every other industrialized nation on the planet has already done? Single Payer, Universal Health Care. The hard work has already been done by these countries. All we have to do is cherry pick what works. What is so hard about that?
The United States pays twice as much for health care than any other country.
Chart: http://www.timws.com/images/figure_cost-1.gif
And yet people are still dying for lack of access to basic health care. People are losing their homes, going deep into debt, going bankrupt for basic health care. How are we the Greatest nation on earth if we can't/won't even take care of our own?
How is it the same people that do not have a problem with 2 wars that are costing us, US, trillions, have a problem with health care reform that will save us billions?
Don't the Hooples realize if we had Single Payer, Universal Health Care, the canon fodder we produce for our illegal wars, will be healthier and therefor able to kill more brown people for their oil? That alone should make them want real health care reform.

Reading in the mountains/ Wall Streets Naked Swindle

Visiting the snoocher bear high in the mountains always involves a lot of reading. Kadizzle is more of an article reader than a book reader. One guy you can always count on is Matt Taibbi in Rolling Stone. In a recent issue he does a good job explaining how the thievery on Wall Street works. It is a must read for any one who might hope to understand what is going on. The article is in the October 19th issue. "Wall Streets Naked Swindle" is the title of the article. Most of the article centers on how Wall Street used bogus stock to take over and bankrupt companies. Wall Street literally prints money. Companies that were supposed to have one million shares of stock often had 1.3 million shares voted at board elections. All of this took place with the tacit help of Washington. Once you read the article you will clearly see the most unAmerican people on the planet are the Wall Street gang. Compared to Al Quada, the Wall Street terrorist have done way more to destroy our country. Of course Bush did everything to help his rich buddies set up the scam. Now one percent of the country owns 90 percent. Good deal guys. The article points out there is nothing left for them to steal.

60 Degrees at 8500ft, Kadizzles Soak it up

God hates Amputees

Never occurred to me until reading an article in NYT, that God hates amputees. There is actually a web site titled that. Click on this to go to the web site The site says the most important question to ask is "Why won't God heal amputees?". Now, when you think about what people pray for and what prayers god actually answers you will find that once in a while god will cure cancer, god will help one team win a football game, but there has never been a case where god regenerated an amputated limb. Many people claim god has answered prayers for just about everything, but one must note that the prayers that get answered could also have happened by coincidence.

Back in the Mountians with the Big Bear, and the Little Bear

The travel capsule is stored in Denver waiting for blast off in a month or so. Grandpa Kadizzle, and Grandma Kadizzle are with the Ticklepinch admiration society, in utter awe of every noise and move Sylvie makes. Up to wonderful sunshine in the mountains, a nice soak in the hot tub, and a relaxing beginning to the biggest eating event of the year. Trying to keep the tummy empty for the upcoming eatathon.

Amazing Amish heaters

In today's paper there was another add for those wonderful Amish heaters. How stupid can people really be? Anyone who knows do da diddly about the Amish knows they do not use electricity. So why would someone count on the Amish to invent the best electric heater. The spread of brain dead people is beyond belief. The laws of physics say you cannot get more energy out of a device than you put in. The most you could put into any electric heater you plug into your wall is about 1500 watts. So it is impossible to get more than that out, unless you are Amish.

The real clincher is that these moron heaters are just two light bulbs in a box. Advertising is wonderful. Someone puts two light bulbs in a box and tells you the virtues of a box made by the Amish to heat your house. The simple minded Hoopleheads eat it up. If you ever wonder how big the supply is of idiots just look at the advertising in the paper. Someone is buying the safes prestocked with money. Someone is buying the amazing device that scares mice away, and someone is donating to Pat Robertson. There is no shortage of Hoopleheads, and they are the basis for our economy, people who will buy anything, including the Republican trickle down non sense. One of my favorite Hooples who was a state legislator for years has an Amish heater.

Banking on Stupidity

Saturday Kadizzle went to the bank to cash a check. In the hopeless fight to inspire young people to think Kadizzle started a political discussion with one of the three teenage tellers. The topic was health care and jumped to social security. Before long all three tellers were in the battle. Kadizzle was amazed at how illogical and indoctrinated these kids were. Thought was out of the question, it was just a parroting of their parents views. While talking about social security Kadizzle mentioned how unfair it was to young people not to make the rich pay after they make 106k. One of the girls said "Everyone has the same chance to be a millionaire if they work hard". Kadizzle asked the girl " Did the owner of the bank they were working on, whose father gave him the bank, have the same chance as they did?". The young teller said yes. Then Kadizzle asked the girl if her father was going to give her a bank. She said no, but still could not see that two people starting in life certainly don't have the same chance. During the whole conversation it became evident these kids had no thinking skills whatsoever. Kadizzle went home shaken about how easily these kids could be manipulated by the Glenn Becks and Fox News of the world.

Kadizzle involved in Murder for hire

Today Old Kadizzle decided to go on a pheasant hunt over where the motorcycle gang in Stanton has their lair. They have some good pheasant land. So Kadizzle called the leader of the gang to get permission to hunt. You can hunt he said, but you have to commit a murder for me. Reluctantly Kadizzle agreed to do a drive by shooting, or what would be in this case a walk by shooting. It seems Big Daddy Kerns doesn't like beavers. Apparently this comes from time he spent in Minot where the school mascot was the beaver. According to Big Daddy, the school had a Miss Beaver pageant, and other Beaver related celebrations. Big Daddy claims he was stood up by Miss Beaver on a date, and has not liked beaver since. So in order to hunt Big Daddy says we have to fire some buckshot at the beavers by the river. In high school nothing was more fun than beaver hunting, but is something you outgrow, but today, it looks like we are going to have to let the little tree munching scoundrels have it for Big Daddy.

John Stewart shoots one up Fox News ass

Advertise you are stupid

Advertise you are stupid, some people might claim Lord Kadizzle does it every day. This morning Kadizzle, or I should say The Commander received a right wing email. It was some right wing dinger making a big deal of the fact that Obama did not cross his heart during the pledge of allegiance. The whole controversy is a worn out urban myth. Kadizzle could not resist the temptation to reply to the Glenn Beck style idiocy. Kadizzle explained to the sender that the recipient list at the top of the email might give people the impression Kadizzle subscribed to the stupidity. Kadizzle did not want his name on the idiot list. When an email like that arrives it is like an advertisement of who the stupid people are in the community. Kadizzle would rather not be listed.

Health Care 101 for Hoopleheads

If I proposed to you that I was going to reduce the price of eggs from six dollars a dozen to two dollars a dozen, most people would not ask "How will I be able to afford eggs?'. However, the Republicans have sold the Hoopleheads on this notion. Every country in the world with socialized medicine provides better health care at about one third the cost of our lousy system, yet the Hoopleheads believe we cannot afford cheaper health care. Ironically of all organizations my facts are backed up by the CIA Fact Book. Hooples don't care about numbers, facts, or figures. Hooples listen to people like Glenn Beck, and Rush. Hooples believe that if a lot of people believe something it is true, or if they read something they like it is true. Reality rarely penetrates the mind of a Hoople. Ethanol is a classic case of a Hoople brain at work. Gasoline is a little cheaper with ethanol, but you also get poorer mileage. The Hooples notice the price, but don't realize it gets them nowhere because of the poor mileage. Hooples are what makes a magic show work.

Long walk and a long shot,

Jasper Littlebottem let her 20 gauge roar. She shot the bird in the beak. The bird flew away like there was no problem. A half mile away Kadizzle found the dead bird in the brush. An amazing shot, an amazing find, and now dinner in the pot. Today may be another round of hunt the pheasant. Shot one over the Knife River yesterday and had to fish the poor soul out of the water. Kadizzles gun Table Meat is an amazing piece of equipment. You just get it going and it does the rest. Truly it is an automatic. Often Kadizzle pulls the trigger thinking it is hopeless and down the enemy Jap planes come. Would War II would have been over in no time if they had been using Benilli's.

Kadizzle VS Pheasants today

Old Kadizzle is shot up pretty bad with back pain, but he may take the old Commander out with Shanika to do some hunting. Shanika has been our old hunting buddy for years. Shanika will bring one of his many dogs witch will be handy. Hopefully the Kadizzle clan will be able to return to the southwest with Shanika in a few weeks for one more good hunt. Kadizzle is not the killing type, but one must keep in mind that the Pheasant is not native to our country. Shooting a pheasant is actually dealing with illegal immigration from China. The other nice thing about pheasants is you only shoot the males. Supposedly one male can take care of ten females. Apparently the pheasants are Mormons.

Hoopleheads and Facts don't mix

Lord Kadizzle has developed a bad habit of arguing with Hoopleheads on blogs. One thing that is as predictable as the sun rising is how a Hooplehead will react when you back them into a corner with facts. Without exception the Hoople will say your source is unreliable. If you cite the New York Times, the Hoople will call it a left wing rag or something derogatory. Kadizzle stumbled across what he thought was a bullet proof source for the Hooples. It turns out the CIA publishes a fact book. It is called THE CIA FACTBOOK. Lo and behold when Kadizzle used facts from the CIA, the Hoople claimed it was biased. Of course the Hooples easily forget the CIA was used by Cheney to justify going into Iraq. If you take the time to peruse the CIA fact book you will find the United States ranks very poorly in the world in many categories. The Hooples insist we are number one in everything and don't have much truck with the CIA saying otherwise. Ironically Kadizzle was put onto the factbook in regard to the health care debate. The CIA figures show what bad shape our country is really in compared to the rest of the world for health care. This drives the Hooples nuts.

Kadizzle expert Deer Tracker


This is Scott with his Buck
On the way back from Fargo the cell phone rang. It was Scott and he wanted Kadizzle to come up to Lake Sakakawea in the Dark on Mallard Island and help him find a deer he shot with a bow. Kadizzle fortunately realized the folly of this venture and said no. However, Kadizzle and The Commander did journey to the island in the morning to track down the deer. Scott was excited he had shot good sized buck and badly wanted to find it. Scott thought the deer did not get far, but Kadizzle suspected it made it some distance. With his expert tracking skills Kadizzle found a blood spot about four hundred yards from where Scott made his shot. Kadizzle had the right trail and Scott found another blood spot in another fifty yards. Kadizzle walked by the expired deer once withing about 75 feet. Scott finally spotted it and we put it in the boat and returned to the mainland. It was about a two hour effort, but an interesting way to spend the morning.

Kadizzle Perfects musical machine from plumbing parts

Hooplehead Kryptonite

Read this New York Times article. Every Hooplehead loves to say the American Health Care system is the best in the world. It is just a blatant lie by the Republicans. Read the real statistics and then repeat them for the Hooples at the coffee shop. You will get the classic Hoople come back. "Well that's from the New York Times". You will get this from some idiot that relies on The Bismarck Tribune.

Back Pain strange

Lord Kadizzle never suffered much back pain in his life, but in the last three months there have been two serious episodes. Strangely these onsets happen at 2:30 A.M. The last episode seemed to be related to getting on the sailboat in an awkward fashion. What brought on this one is a mystery.

More than anything the pain makes Kadizzle wonder how people make it when they have cancer or some other major problem. This back pain is bad enough, but if someone had to go through this for weeks at a time it is hard to imagine how they endure.

Sleeping is impossible once the pain comes on. Taking pain medication means you will be in a semi daze all day long. There are those who surely would say that is already the case.

Whats Wrong with District 33?

Last night I attended a District 33 Democrat Party Meeting. We puzzled about how the Democrats could take back the District. Jim Kusler did an excellent presentation of his analysis of the voting patterns of the District. In the middle of the night I woke up with back pain and started thinking about what has changed in this area. Why can't we elect Democrats? The number of votes needed is small, under three hundred with the right circumstances. Jim pointed out that with the right effort it could be done. Late at night it hit me what the change was. It may seem preposterous, but religion in my mind had a lot to do with it. When I moved here in 1976 the communities were primarily Lutheran, and Catholic. These are fairly middle of the road religions with relatively rational people. However, when the big construction projects brought thousands of outsiders to the area, many of the locals along with the outsiders became infected with fundamentalism. Baptist churches and other new strains of religion to the area began to crop up everywhere. Drive around Beulah, or Hazen, and you will see numerous off brand churches that never existed before the boom. What does this have to do with the election of Democrats? All of us recall how the Republicans took advantage of the fundamentalist. The Republicans successfully demonized Democrats. Voting Democrat has been given the taint of sin in these churches. You don't have to talk to one of these fundamentalist preachers long to realize they basically feel Democrats are inherently evil. Speak with the followers of these people and you will soon find they are not going to vote for a Democrat. Ask them why, and they cannot answer you. It is just a faith issue that you are not going to overcome. Most of these people firmly believe God is a Republican. I could go on and give you details of conversations I have had with these preachers, and I can assure you they have a firm grip on their parishioners, and their vote. There is one ray of hope. The fundamentalist slowly came to realize how they were abused by the Bush administration. I think reaching these people is next to impossible, but would be key to winning an election.

Daughter Megan finds job in Japan

Watermelon hanging on the Vine

This is an old song from the hills, and it is required song knowledge to hear it push this link. Now here are the lyrics you have to learn. Sing along by playing the highlighted link.


Watermelon on the Vine

See that watermelon smiling through the fence
I really wanna eat that watermelon fine
White folks sure am foolish, They haven't got a lot of sense
Or they wouldn't leave that melon on that vine

Chorus
Hambone is sweet, chicken is good
Rabbit is so very, very fine
But give me, oh give me, now how I wish you would
That watermelon hanging on that vine

You may talk about your apples, your peaches and your pears
'Simmons a-growing on the tree
But bless your heart my honey, you am the gal for me
Or they wouldn't leave it hanging on that vine

I went to get that melon, it was on one Sunday night
The stars they had just begun to shine
When I left that old man's field, I left there in a run
But I didn't leave that melon on that vine
Listen to this song

Excellent NPR Story about women caught in sex trade

Can you identiby this old tool invented by a Republican



First Click on the picture and enlarge it. Now for the answer

Tobacco Smoke Enemas (1750s – 1810s)
The tobacco enema was used to infuse tobacco smoke into a patient’s rectum for various medical purposes, primarily thte resuscitation of drowning victims. A rectal tube inserted into the anus was connected to a fumigator and bellows that forced the smoke towards the rectum. The warmth of the smoke was thought to promote respiration, but doubts about the credibility of tobacco enemas led to the popular phrase “blow smoke up one’s ass.” :-)

This old tool has been used in Washington DC by the Republican Party for years. Are you finally starting to feel it?

Met a real Hooplehead Yesterday at City Hall


Lord Kadizzle wishes he was lying, but he met a genuine Hooplehead at city hall yesterday. Kadizzle has known the man for years, but did not realize how bad his hooplism has become. Spindly Riddle says Kadizzle is a portly short, but this Hoople was a portly large. To top it all off the Hoople was dressed as a Hooplehead. With a few minor changes he looked and was dressed like the picture above. He had on a baseball cap with little lapel pins in it. Best of all he had on bib overalls. Right away he launched into hoople talk about how bad Obama is. Next he demanded to know where Obama's birth certificate is. Kadizzle said "Oh No, your a birther?". Of course the hoople had no clue what a birther was. Then he called Obama the "N" word a few times. Also he made the mandatory comment about socialism. The poor Hoople had no idea what socialism was, but like most Hooples he knew it was bad. Kadizzle remarked to the Hoople that his son turned out so well and it was amazing he had a Hoople for a dad. At about that point the fellow asked "What is a Hooplehead?". Kadizzle explained to him where the term came from and how he resemble the simple minded gold miners in Deadwood that the term was coined for. Back to his son. It turns out his son is a fine young fellow, and very civic minded. Kadizzle asked the Hoople how his son turned out so well. The Hoople explained that his son was 95% from his mother. What a blessing for the kid. Next the Hoople tried to explain that he was not really that dumb. The Hoople claimed he was on a nuclear submarine. Kadizzle figured he was the janitor. Kadizzle asked the Hoople what submarine he was on. Sure enough it was classified. A little later Kadizzle wanted to get a picture of the Hooplehead for this article. The Hoople threatened poor old Kadizzle and Kadizzle thought it best not to have a fight break out at city hall. Kadizzle will see if he can find a good resemblance to the hoople and post it with this article. Will search under the bubba catagory.

Spindly Riddle insults Lord Kadizzle

Sitting around the bunkhouse telling stories, Lord Kadizzle had a brain storm. Why not have Spindly measure him up for a suit or some nice clothes. Spindly used to have his own high class men's store, and still dabbles in clothing. Sitting in at the breakfast table Spindly started sizing up Kadizzle like he was buying a hog, then Spindly spit it out. Looks like you would need a size 48 portly short. Now to tell your host he is a Portly Short is unacceptable, unless he is one.

Then old Spindly recollected the last time we were here at the bunkhouse. All the hunters went down to the sorrowful combination gas station and breakfast hole, plus small grocery. While we were eating breakfast, a big old woman about an axe handle across the ass, smoking a cigarette, came in the store. The store owner was indignant about the woman smoking and yelled at her "YOU CAN'T SMOKE IN HERE". As the lady ran out of the store Lord Kadizzle yelled at her, "AND WE DON'T ALLOW FARTING EITHER". The poor woman stood outside and smoked her weed. Recalling that story brought on a good belly laugh to start today's hunt. Now tonight the hunt will end with the traditional prime rib.

Spindly Riddle at the Bunk House with Jasper Littlebottom



There is a skiffle of snow on the ground and Spindly just made another round of coffee. Soon the eggs will be sizzling in the skillet. Should be a good day to practice tracking skills.

Sylvie Reacts to Senator Conrad's Sellout

when my grand daughter found out Senator Conrad took the bribe and she will not have good health care when she grows up she was made. She is saving a diaper to send him.


Good Soul Corruption, and Senator Conrad

Is Senator Conrad evil, has he sold out? Here is a video I found interesting about the concept of Good Soul Corruption. Watch it and think about the mess we have with campaign contributions.

Head Hooplehead endorses Health Care Reform

Letter to Medcenter One. You send one

Marnie Walth

Today I recieved my Inside Medcenter One Magazine. Usually this magizine goes directly from our post office box to the garbage. However, I am so angry about health care cost that I am taking the time to write. These fluffy magazines are full of touchy feely stuff, and I could get all the information I want on the internet. You could use this magazine to let people know where hospital money is going. Why don't you print a list of every doctors salary. Why don't you print the CEO salary and benifits. When you do be sure to let me know. I want to know the total cost of paying for this magazine. I am sure it is rolled into the cost of my health care. I strongly feel the time for fluff is over and you and your hospital need to get real. Why don't you do some honest reporting on health care and health care reform? Instead we get fluff. Why don't you talk about the people who have no health care and what we can do about it? Instead we get fluff. I am going to meet with the Insurance commissioner and see if it is practical to outlaw publications like yours that merely waste the patients dollar in a feel good fashion. All these litte cost add up to unaffordable health care cost. While your hospital contributes to the problem people suffer. While 44,000 Americans die every year because they have no health insurance, you take our money and publish fluff. Where is the morality?Please make sure I do not get this magazine anymore. I strongly advise you let everyone know what it cost to publish this and ask if they want to opt out. Please donate the cost of my subscription to those without health Insurance.

Crazy beyond belief, but Hoopleheads eat it up

There are people wandering around Lord Kadizzle's little town of Hoopleville who believe what Glenn Beck says. This right wing lunatic is now claiming that the OnStar system by GM is now actually a spry system. Yup, since Obama took over GM the OnStar system is being used to spy on everyone. The Hooples love this scary stuff and here in Hoopleville, they just wander around in a daze. Now the Hooples wisper to each other when they drive, so the OnStar cannot tell what they are saying. Since the OnStar tracks where they are, the Hooples now park their car away from the bar and walk a block. Some of the clever Hooples park at the church and walk to the bar. That way Obama thinks they are at Church. You got to love them Hoopleheads.

Help with mystery

The other day Kadizzle asked who was reading this blog. Curt and Peg replied as follows

I intervened on your behalf when the Little Ranger wanted to cite you for refusing to ride a bicycle at Texas Springs in Death Valley. Later I saved you a long drive to ER after The Commander mentioned your waistline and you collapsed on the bench clutching your chest, croaking, "My heart! Pass the cookies!" Like a hero, I passed the cookies. Finally I called off the fighter jets harassing you on the highway to Stovepipe Wells

Kadizzle and The Commander remember camping near Curt and Peg in Death Valley. Send an email Curt and Peg to dakotaquinn@gmail.com tell us where you are. The Commander said you made good cookies, I think you put something in them that made my mental illeness worse, but if I never thanked you for saving me from a heart attack, I do now. What if another heart incident occurs and we do not have an cookies, please send cookies.

Ministry for the Hoopleheads


Lord Kadizzle has started a new Jihad with the local preachers. The preachers are the most sorrowful bunch of wimps imaginable. Worse yet they mostly seem to have the hooplehead philosophy. So far Kadizzle has encountered three preachers. Each time Kadizzle ask "What is up with Jeeesus and healthcare?". Sure enough Jeeeesus watches Fox News and worried way more about socialism than health care. The old Jesus I knew as a kid that seemed pretty nice is now a nasty old guy that watches Fox New. This is the truth. All these preachers are against everyone having health care. Is this possible? Yup, socialism is just around the corner if we have health care and you know what that leads to, England, Germanny, France, and the rest of those evil socialist countries. What in the hell is wrong with these people? The Catholic Church is the only one so far that got it right. Apparently god told them single payer health care was alright. God must have been in a good mood that day, or Jeeesus is making some calls and God others. Who knows, it is all so confusing. The real dinger is one church is caught up fighting about gays and doesn't have time to worry about health care. Now you see why Kadizzle would not set foot in a church. The hypocrisy is deadly.

Get some Balls, send them to Conrad

What has Kadizzle done now? The accidental recruit.

Yesterday, the good people willing to fight the Hoopleheads for health care reform marched from Blue Cross headquarters to Senator Conrad's office. Kadizzle being an enterprising sort tried to recruit people all along the way. Fairly early in the march Kadizzle noticed a young woman with a back pack and asked her to join the march. At first Kadizzle thought perhaps the young lady just happened to be going the same way. However, as the march progressed, Kadizzle noticed the lady was tagging along. Thankful to have the participant Kadizzle decided to strike up a little conversation. It soon became apparent the the poor young girl had some serious learning disabilities. Kadizzle asked her how old she was. She stared off into the sky and said she didn't know. Then she remarked she was working on her GED. Suddenly it occurred to Kadizzle that this person had been carefully trained to walk from point A to point B where she was studying for her GED. Now, she was on camera with the news medial in front of the Federal building. Hopefully she found her way home. The amusing part will be when the care takers at the group home will see her on the news, and be befuddled how she came to join a march to advocate health care reform. Someone will be watching the news and say "Jesus, what in the hell is Mary doing there?" Well Mary fought for a good cause. It shows you don't have to be in rocket science to do the right thing, sometimes it happens accidentally.

How to make an obscene phone call

Call your representative in Congress and tell him that holding up health care reform in return for campaign contributions is obscene. I called all three yesterday. The lady from Senator Dorgan's office is very nice, so be nice to her. The other two are just hacks so give them hell. Here are the numbers.
Call: 1-866-288-1495



Press 1 for Pomeroy

Press 2 for Dorgan

Press 3 for Conrad.
When the phone answers these calls will be directed through a system, so you will be asked for your zip code. I sort of thought this was a waste of time, but the representatives are either emboldened or scared by these phone calls. It only takes a few minutes. I had a nice conversation with the Dorgan lady. We both Chatted about the serious Hooplehead infestation in North Dakota.

Take this you blasted Atheist

Lord Kadizzle counts some atheist among his best and most scholarly friends. One of his favorite atheist claims he is an orthodox atheist. Make sure he reads this, those this is directed to will know who he is. The story was on NPR today Lord Kadizzle considers himself an agnostic, which is much safer. Kadizzle must tell his agnostic story. Kadizzle was injured and had to go to the hospital. At the hospital the woman taking the form objected to Kadizzle putting down agnostic in the blank for religion. Kadizzle explained what an agnostic was to the woman and she said "You have to put down a religion". So, Kadizzle scratched the appropriate genitalia and wrote down 1-800. The woman said " What's that?". Kadizzle explained " I don't go through anyone else, I deal with God directly". Again, the woman said no. At this point the choice was chose a religion or bleed to death. Kadizzle reluctantly chose Presbyterian in hone of his mother who was one.

Who are you?

Leave a comment here and let me know how you came across the Kadizzled Blog. You don't have to leave your name. Someone in Cortez Colorado took a look, why? Nice to have you, but it it puzzling. Kadizzle can understand a lot of the North Dakota hits, but little pockets of Kadizzlites elsewhere are puzzling.

Opinion or Fact?

Lord Kadizzle had his kerfuffle with the Hazen City Commission about censorship and the local access television. There seems to be a problem with how the right wing views facts. Lord Kadizzle asked the public access people to publish the fact that Blue Cross in North Dakota gave the exiting CEO 2.5 million dollars as severance pay. Blue Cross spent 250 thousand dollars on a trip to the Carribean for it's salesmen. This information came from the Republican Insurance commissioner of North Dakota and was published in The Washington Post. However, apparently anything Lord Kadizzle says is not true, it is just opinion. It must be the assumption that every time Kadizzle opens his mouth he is lying. Kadizzle proposes that everything unpleasant about right wing beliefs is opinion.

Stanton Motorcycle Gang attacks Hazen by boat



After months of planning and boat building the motorcycle gang from Stanton assaulted Hazen in a sneak attack by boat. Apparently they though we would be taken by surprise. The leader of the Stanton cult can be seen in one of the attack boats. Please enlcarge the picture by clicking on it and notice the attack dog he is carrying in his shirt. The attack was repelled when Hazen residents dumped part of our bumper wheat crop into the boat from the bridge and sank it. The Stanton gang is devious.

Anti Trust legislation and Blue Cross

Someone finally figured out how to get the attention of the insurance thieves. Threaten to take away their candy. Blue Cross and other insurance monopolies are not subject to anti-trust laws. This gives them the right to rape people and deny coverage. If these laws were repealed the Federal government could regulate these scoundrels and make them compete across state lines. This would be wonderful for the consumer, but the fat guys would go nuts. As things now stand I cannot buy Blue Cross from any other state but North Dakota. This basically means I am hostage to Blue Cross ND. The amazing thing is that all the good Republicans are for "Free Competition", of course they are except when it affects them.


Lord Kadizzle and the CIA


Lord Kadizzle argues with hoopleheads incessantly. Hoopleheads always like to challenge the source of your information. Hoopleheads trust no one but Rush, and the Fox News story tellers. However, Lord Kadizzle has noticed that other Hooplehead fighters have found a strange ally. It turns out there is something called the CIA factbook. Low and behold the CIA puts out a lot of information about almost every country in the world. If you want to see how poorly the United States does in critical areas like income distribution, or infant mortality just ask the CIA. In both regard the United States come out in the race like a third world banana republic. The hoopleheads are put in the awkward position of challenging the CIA. Moral of the story, when the Hooplehead says where did you get your information. Just say from the CIA. Then to blow steam out their ears, which does them a lot of good, prove it with the CIA Factbook.

Hauling Goats to Bismarck


Lord Kadizzle is up at 4:30 A.M. At 6:10 he has to haul an old goat to Bismarck for a physical. The old goats in town know Kadizzle is available so if they need someone to take them to the doctor, they call Kadizzle. Kadizzle is happy to perform this service. It gives him a sense of purpose. However, Kadizzle always wonders why the only heathen in town gets called on. One would think that with dozens of churches in town, some religious person would help their fellow man. Nope, when you really need something done call the heathen. If you need a prayer call the church, but if you need a ride call Kadizzle. These are the same churches that don't have a hair on their arse to stand up and fight for health care reform. They are happy to pray things get better, but don't ask them to actually do anything about all the social injustices. The churches just sit and watch as income disparity drives more people into poverty.

Professional Buzz Kacklers

As a Judge poor old Lord Kadizzle has to be retrained yearly. Yesterday, Kadizzle sat through a boring senseless conference that had nothing to do with Judging. Some expert woman lectured us on leadership. She must have been paid a handsome sum by the State of North Dakota. Words flew around the room, we did silly test, and exercises. People shot words around. Of course we did the mandatory write some words on a big piece of paper and post it on the wall routine. I am sure many left an said that was just wonderful. On any given day the number of people tied up in ridiculous meetings listening to buzz kacklers is beyond belief.

There was a forty five minute story by an ex supreme court justice who showed up pictures of his family and told us about how he was involved in Boy Scouts. Not sure what this had to do with the Judicial process.

My letter to Senator Conrad today, you send one

Dear Senator,
I am extremely distressed about the current state of the health care bill. I want a public option. In fact I would like to see universal care. I feel you have been duplicit in defeating real health care reform. I have been supporter of you and the Democratic party, but now I am ready to abandon both over this issue. You have made a statement to the effect " A public option is not in our culture". I don't know where that comes from, but I think you fear the right wing voters in North Dakota. Those people will never vote for you. I think you make a grave mistake trying to placate the right wingers in North Dakota. You will lose the support of the true Democrats. I want someone who will fight hard for change. I do not buy the Medicare smoke screen as cover to maintain the status quo. Fix it. If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything. My children will suffer because you have failed to take a strong stand on this issue. Please stand with those who want real change. That is why so many people had such high hopes for Obama. At this point like so many others I feel nothing but disappointment.

Hanging Glenn Beck with his own rope

Glenn Beck and Fox News represent the worst of our country. These people are the epidimy of the misuse of free speech. It brings Lord Kadizzle infinite joy to see that someone has taken the time to turn the table on Glenn Beck and is doing a damn good job of it. The best part is they are using every technique he does against him. It is all just too good to miss. Go to this site and read how the lawyers are mocking Beck's antics. The real beauty of it is that Beck's lawyers have to read it. It is absolutely a no win. Beck stepped right into the trap. If Beck had just ignored it, the fire would have died down, but Beck's decision to shut down his critics has just blown up in his face as planned. It would be hard to find a way to force someone to examine their own lies in detail, but the lawyers for the website Glenn Beck is trying to shut down are cutting him to shreds with his own lies.

Something to think about on the way to church

For Those of You on Your Way to Church This Morning ...a note from Michael Moore

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

Friends,

I'd like to have a word with those of you who call yourselves Christians (Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Bill Maherists, etc. can read along, too, as much of what I have to say, I'm sure, can be applied to your own spiritual/ethical values).

In my new film I speak for the first time in one of my movies about my own spiritual beliefs. I have always believed that one's religious leanings are deeply personal and should be kept private. After all, we've heard enough yammerin' in the past three decades about how one should "behave," and I have to say I'm pretty burned out on pieties and platitudes considering we are a violent nation who invades other countries and punishes our own for having the audacity to fall on hard times.

I'm also against any proselytizing; I certainly don't want you to join anything I belong to. Also, as a Catholic, I have much to say about the Church as an institution, but I'll leave that for another day (or movie).

Amidst all the Wall Street bad guys and corrupt members of Congress exposed in "Capitalism: A Love Story," I pose a simple question in the movie: "Is capitalism a sin?" I go on to ask, "Would Jesus be a capitalist?" Would he belong to a hedge fund? Would he sell short? Would he approve of a system that has allowed the richest 1% to have more financial wealth than the 95% under them combined?

I have come to believe that there is no getting around the fact that capitalism is opposite everything that Jesus (and Moses and Mohammed and Buddha) taught. All the great religions are clear about one thing: It is evil to take the majority of the pie and leave what's left for everyone to fight over. Jesus said that the rich man would have a very hard time getting into heaven. He told us that we had to be our brother's and sister's keepers and that the riches that did exist were to be divided fairly. He said that if you failed to house the homeless and feed the hungry, you'd have a hard time finding the pin code to the pearly gates.

I guess that's bad news for us Americans. Here's how we define "Blessed Are the Poor": We now have the highest unemployment rate since 1983. There's a foreclosure filing once every 7.5 seconds. 14,000 people every day lose their health insurance.

At the same time, Wall Street bankers ("Blessed Are the Wealthy"?) are amassing more and more loot -- and they do their best to pay little or no income tax (last year Goldman Sachs' tax rate was a mere 1%!). Would Jesus approve of this? If not, why do we let such an evil system continue? It doesn't seem you can call yourself a Capitalist AND a Christian -- because you cannot love your money AND love your neighbor when you are denying your neighbor the ability to see a doctor just so you can have a better bottom line. That's called "immoral" -- and you are committing a sin when you benefit at the expense of others.

When you are in church this morning, please think about this. I am asking you to allow your "better angels" to come forward. And if you are among the millions of Americans who are struggling to make it from week to week, please know that I promise to do what I can to stop this evil -- and I hope you'll join me in not giving up until everyone has a seat at the table.

Thanks for listening. I'm off to Mass in a few hours. I'll be sure to ask the priest if he thinks J.C. deals in derivatives or credit default swaps. I mean, after all, he must've been good at math. How else did he divide up two loaves of bread and five pieces of fish equally amongst 5,000 people? Either he was the first socialist or his disciples were really bad at packing lunch. Or both.

Yours,
Michael Moore

Absolute Best Political Show


Last night The Commander and Lord Kadizzle watched Bill Maher. Bill Maher is on HBO and has absolutely the best commentary, guest and comedy about politics. If you haven't watched him you will quickly get hooked. Last night he had Tom Friedman, and Richard Dawkins. Because it is on cable he can really tell it the way it is. No one cuts the Hoopleheads to shreds better. It is interesting that a lot of progressive are starting to get pretty disappointed with the lack of progress by Obama. Obama seems to think you can be nice to Republicans and get some results. It is a hopeless strategy, try it with a rattlesnake. For a daily dose of hoople bashing Kadizzle recommends first in the morning a good dose of the New York Times. To get you self pissed at the simple minded read the Bismarck Tribune. Although Ken Rodgers did do a sensible editorial for once. Ken Rodgers tried to point out to the Hooples how socialistic North Dakota is. Then he tried to make excuses and say it is not really so. Later in the day if you need to see what simple mindedness can do to people listen to Rush on KFYR. It is a disgrace to that radio station. For the one to drive you over the top watch Glenn Beck. This is the nut case that drives my medicine cost up.

Now for the fun part. The Ed show is starting to turn out pretty good. Ed has his daily Psycho, and he goes right at the heart of the Hooples. Hard Ball is well balanced, and relatively mild, but informative. Then comes my daily hero, Kieth Olberman. His worst person in the world feature is my favorite. Usually it is Rush, Beck, or the simple minded Congress woman from Minnesota. There are enough other worst thrown in to make it interesting. Now, back to the beginning Bill Maher is the best. He can fire a rocket up the Republican rectum better than any of them.

Did Glenn Beck rape and murder a young girl in 1990?

This is just too good to be true. Someone has set up a web site to turn the tables on Glenn Beck. They are spreading the story that Glenn Beck rapped and murdered a young girl in 1990. Just like the sickening tactics Beck uses they are just asking a retorical question. Like Beck they don't have an ounce of truth, but just like Beck they let it spin and the Hooples will soon be sopping it up. If you want to have some fun just do some research. What is really mind blowing is that Beck is suing the people who are pulling the kind of shit he does every day. Of course he just digs himself in deeper because the whole thing gets more PR. It is revenge at it's best. These people have engineered the perfect way to torture the nit wit with his own weapons. It doesn't get much better. Now, Beck says Saturday Night Live is out to destroy him, just like they did Sara Palin. I think this nuckle head is going to implode. What will the Hoopleheads do? Beck has not denied the murder, so he must have done it, by Beck logic.


What a Senator say about Beck fake crying

"Only in America can you make that much money crying," Graham said of Beck. "Glenn Beck is not aligned with any party. He is aligned with cynicism and there has always been a market for cynics. But we became a great nation not because we are a nation of cynics. We became a great nation because we are a nation of believers."

How Glenn Beck fakes tears

How to make up an Urban Legend



Watch this video on the Kadizzle blog, or down below. The looney representative from Minnesota uses a classic technique of the Glenn Beck crowd. She just makes up the term "Sex Clinic" and tell the Hoopleheads it is in the health care bill. Of course the Hooples just eat it up. Now the Hooples go to the coffee shop and tell how they heard kids will have sex clinics in school. The lie spreads like wildfire. None of the Hooples will check to see what the bill actually says. Just like the Death Panel bullshit it is all made up. Watch this closely because this nitwit just made this up. It will hit your coffee shop within a day or two. See if Glenn and Rush help get the spin going.

Megan Meets the Ticklepich

Winter is setting in

It is that time of year for transitions. Winter is gradually sneaking into North Dakota. When it gets here you will know it. The boat is out of the water, and soon the gun will be poping some pheasants. When the pheasants give out it is time to head south. Fall is nice in North Dakota, but spring is dreadful. You don't want to be here from Jan until April. Hopefully there are a lot of nice days left this fall, but today we are getting a mild taste of what can and will happen. Mild drizzle, wind, overcast, and not a good day to be outside.

Antiques Road show features Senator

Watching Antiques Road show the other day I was amazed to see a man in line pull a senator out of his pocket and ask the appraiser what he was worth. The appraiser was shocked, but told the gentleman that he had recently seen a senator in North Dakota sold to the health insurance lobby for 2.6 million dollars. The appraiser said the fair market price could even be higher if the senator could be guaranteed to vote against the public option. Democratic senators that would vote against their own party are worth way more the specialist said. After examining the senator the appraiser said the senator would be worthless after the next election so the inquirer would do well to sell him now for what ever he could get.

The Stupids are stepping out

Wonderful day to take the Ticklepinch on a walk in the mountains.

Planning Military maneuvers


Kadizzle and military Bubba hold a conference in the hot tub. When the wise men went to admire baby Jesus they spent less money and time than the Kadizzles have with their new grandchild Sylvie. Every laugh, gurgle, burp and belch is documented and preserved for posteriety. Sylvie's servants let no need go unfullfilled. We got nannies, and granies, and aunties, and just about anything in between. The planets have been rearranged to suit Sylvie's schedule.

The Kadizzles celebrate The Feast of the Lazy


As Fran slowly cooks the leg of lamb on the barbie it is time for the Saturday night bath. As is the custom the women go first. Once the women are properly chlorinated they are ready for the feast of the lazy. The feast of the Lazy starts the most high holy season. The feast of the lazy is a tradition to celebrate the birth of the first grandchild. In Orthodox Kadizzelism a child born in a year with a good June berry harvest is thought to be a special blessing. To end the feast June Berry pie will be served warm with ice cream. Part of the tradition is to hide the remaining pie until morning. In the morning if no one has found the pie over night another pie ritual is performed that involves a terrible fight over the remaining pie. It is considered a curse to have any pie left by high noon. As the mother superior shouts "That's Megan's pie" the other members of the clan try to sneak as much as possible without being found out. Tradition holds that the pie is magic and disappears by itself.
