The Good Life

Lord Kadizzle and her ladyship the Commander attended our nephew's reception dinner at The Country Club of Virginia last night. Kadizzle engaged one of the fine gentleman serving cigars in a conversation about the economy. He pointed out things were not that bad. The cigarilio suggested Lord Kadizzle cast his gaze upon the new twelve million dollar swimming complex just provided for the comfort of the members. There were a total of five full size pools for every need. It was indeed a marvelous complex. In our little town of Kadizzleville we struggle to fund a small wellness center. It brings Kadizzle comfort to know the lord is just, and none of his children needs are ignored.

The Ticklepinch

Somehow everyone ends up with a nickname. The families newest addition has been christened Ticklepinch. Nick names have always proliferated with Lord Kadizzle. Molly up the street has always been Doodlebug. Her brother is J for Johnson, or just J For. His name comes from an old commercial. My name is Johnson, J for Johnson, not j for jelly, not j for Jones, but J for Johnson. Charlie was always forced to repeat this name under the threat of being tickled when he was little. Charly's cousin ended up with the name Him. Him is a her, but became Him because she always called everyone Him. She would say "What is Him doing" or "Does Him want to play?". Now the big brother and little brother up the street are Biscuit and Gravy. Gravy has been a little sick lately, and his little brother always reports on Gravy's health. The wild Mannies lived behind us. There were four boys. It was too combersome to give each a nickname, so they were all just wild Mannies. The little boy behind us was adopted from Chile, so he became the Chile Bean. His sister was Natilie Jean, so she became Natilie Jean the dancing Queen. Danny Donovan became Donavichi. Of course Lord Kadizzles own kids have a host of nicknames that goes on for ever depending on the stage of life. Megan has been The Pie Monkey, Bumsker, Bumskidini, Chi Chi, and Cheech. Erin has been Jones, The Snoocher Bear, and just plane snooch.

Fun things to read today

Wow, read the NYT editorials today. If you are an old hard core right winger you can make coffee with the steam that will shoot out your ears. Between Rumsfield and Cheney it is hard to decide who out does the other for being the ultimate evil scum. Of course those on the right will have some kind of self delusional spin. If you have some spin to explain how all the crap Rummy and Darth Vader pulled, please share it.

Our spoiled children

Every time Lord Kadizzle meets a young person from abroad the thought hits him "How can American kids compete". Compared to foreign students our children are so lazy and far behind it is amazing the U.S. still has a place in the world. Most of the young American kids I know are off on a lark. They have graduated from high school and are going to spend a couple years surfing or learning to play the guitar while they work as a waiter. When you ask so many American kids what they are going to do the first reply is be a star athlete. We had five boys that lived next to us and everyone of them was going to be a champion hocky player. I know at least five kids who had athletic careers fizzle out on them quickly. While they are learning to be champions they study sports massage in college or some other useless skill. Meanwhile the foriegn students are studing engineering, science, and math. Our school system is hopelessly behind, and our kids have no concept of what it is to study and concentrate. I was a terrible student. Somehow I made it, but I was not competing for a job with someone from India, Turkey, or some other country where people study and learn, thank god or I would have starved. Without exception every foreign student I meet speaks at least two languages. Most of them speak and write better English than the kids in our local high school.

What a piece of work, The North Dakota Legislature

This morning Kadizzle read through the laws the legislature passed this year. Unbelievable. Now, you can home school your kids with no supervision or education requirements. Kadizzle has seen first hand how fundamentalist abuse the home schooling system to exploit their children, this is a crime against children committed by our elected representatives. Next on the agenda is a law that limits a young pregnant girls access to healthcare for her unborn. You figure that one out. The best is the law that people seeking an abortion must be shown an ultrasound and told that it is a real person inside them. What did they think it was a watermellon? Of course these idiots have to pander to the gun lobby by making sure more people can carry guns in more places. Why not do the full monty like Utah and make it so you can carry a gun to church? What better way to fight the devil. As usual they had to put in some special breaks for farmers, and big donors to the Republican party. They rejected and help for young childrens health care because it might lead to socialism. These old goats are the cancer that is killing our state and the paranoid Limbaughlites who vote for them are leading to the demise of any hope for our state.

The Parting Glass

Lord Kadizzle found the most wonderful instrumental by Alisa Jones, called The Parting Glass. Kadizzle judges music by what he wants played at his funeral. The plan is to cremate Kadizzle and put him in a coffee can. The Commander will make a decision at the end of Kadizzles life if the coffee can will be plastic or steel, depending on what The Commander thinks Kadizzle deserves. Kadizzle would like some nice music and singing while everyone stands around the coffee can and gets drunk. Picking out the music is one of Kadizzles favorite pass times. Kadizzle would like to have a few ashes shot out of a shotgun at a pheasant, a few scattered on the lake, and of course capsules will be available for those who wish to put a suitable end to Kadizzle. If you watch this video listen to the words, but remember the instrumental is far better if you can find it.

Today's Project

Lord Kadizzle is an old man, sixty years old now. Add to the age of Kadizzle 8500ft of altitude and work becomes very difficult. In fact work is difficult for Kadizzle at sea level. Today's project is phase two of bridge replacement. The old bridge had to be removed. It was no easy task since it was made from logs and heavy timbers.

Phase two is putting in the culvert. With nothing but a shovel, pick, and a wheelbarrow this is a lot of work. Hopefully a gravel fairy will come tonight and dump a load on the culvert, but for now Kadizzle needs some medication from the distillation of corn.

Living the High Life

Erin's house is at 8500 feet. Kadizzle notices the altitude. The poor little Sylvie just entered the domain of the air breathers, and to start out at this altitude seems like a chore. Small plane pilots are supposed to use oxygen at 10,000 feet. Kadizzle could take a hike and be pretty close to that altitude. Among other problems is the coffee. At this level the water boils too soon and the coffee does not get hot enough to work properly. In summary the high life is not all it is cracked up to be.

Commander Instructs new recruit

The Big Bad Wolf

Today in the New York Times there is a lengthy article about Dutch socialism. Republicans use the term socialism like the "F" word. Take the time to read the article and you will quickly see why the Dutch are very happy with their system, and why it scares the right wingers here so badly. The idea of sharing is quite contrary to the right wing. Very strange that in a so called "Christian" country people would be so opposed to sharing. One of the most interesting things about the Dutch system is how it came about. The Dutch had to cooperate to deal with the fact that they all live below sea level. Cooperation became a way of life. Wow what a terrible thing. Imagine Bill O the clown on Fox or Rush reading the article, steam would emit from their ears and they would be stuttering trying to bash the Dutch system.

Strange reality, but your average Christian likes torture better than your average atheist. Check it out in this Washington Post article

A new Kadizzled Generation

After a very long trip, a very long day, and a very long pregnancy a little Kadizllette girl was brought into the kingdom.

Shooting up the Republican cult.

Between Matt Taibbi, and Robert Thomas of the NYT the Republicans have been shot up pretty bad today. Matt Taibbi will make you laugh out loud with his article in Rolling Stone, April 30. THE REPUBLICANS' BANKRUPTCY OF IDEAS. Robert Thomas goes along the same lines, be sure to read both.

Al Swerengen from Deadwood gets Kadizzled in trouble

It might have been Kadizzle, but I think it was Al from Deadwood who got the blog in trouble. Got a report the Kadizzle Blog has been blocked at the Columbus, New Mexico library. They have more murders and drug dealers per ca pita than anywhere on earth, but they will not tolerate Al swearing. It is nice to know they have some standards. Kadizzle is sure when they gun down someone in Polomas right across the border from Columbus they just say "Jee Wiz, they just shot the kindly gentleman".
