Happy Friday, Paddy & GN-at-large!
Just in case you don’t hang out at Sweasel’s place enough, here’s a little something sure to, urm, brighten up your day.
No, no, no need to thank me. I’m just glad I could help the team.

Happy Friday, Wheelies!
I rather liked this: AC/DC’s Brian Johnson is a bit peeved with Bono and Bob Geldof.
Johnson, the gravel-voiced British singer of Australia’s biggest rock band, has joined a growing group of critics of Geldof and the U2 singer over their very public charity work, saying they should stop lecturing audiences about charity work and instead do their good deeds in private.
“I do it myself, I don’t tell everybody I’m doing it,” Johnson, 62, told Melbourne’s Herald Sun newspaper.
“I don’t tell everybody they should give money – they can’t afford it. When I was a working man I didn’t want to go to a concert for some bastard to talk down to me that I should be thinking of some kid in Africa.”
He then offered some words of advice to his fellow rockers: “I’m sorry mate, do it yourself, spend some of your own money and get it done. It just makes me angry. I become all tyrannical.”
Good on ‘im.

Bob St. Bob’s heart is in the right place, but boy, I remember the stories of what happened to all the charity from LiveAid.
Reminds me of the story that’s floated around the ‘Net for awhile:
- “At a U2 concert in Ireland, Bono (the lead singer) asks the audience to be quiet. Then he starts to slowly clap his hands. Holding the audience in total silence, he says into the microphone….
“I want you to think about something. Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.”
A voice from the front of the audience yells out….”Then stop clapping, ya fookin’ bastard!”
Good Morning EveryGerbillyBody from the not-*quite*-so-cold SE Texas prairie!

Crikey…Saxby Chambliss (my senior U.S. Senator) is an imbecile:
At the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing today on the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) expressed his concern that repealing the rule would pave the way for allowing “alcohol use, adultery, fraternization, and body art” in the military — and that the army must “exclude persons whose presence in the armed forces would create unacceptable risk to the armed forces’ high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion.”
‘Cause drinking, screwing and getting tattooed have never been part of service in the U.S. military. But that’ll all change if we let the homos in.
Jeebus.

The constant lecturing and politicizing from Steve Earle is why I stopped buying his stuff and going to his shows. On the flipside, I dont mind it when it comes from Ted Nugent altho he never asks for money as far as I can recall and he was always funnier than Earle: “Hey Barbara Boxer-suck my Glock”.

Hrmph. I just got an email from Toyota saying my truck is one of the ones under recall cuz of the floor mat problem. I’ve driven this truck for 5 years, and yeah, at times the mat has moved and gotten stuck but mostly under the clutch pedal and mostly when starting it up. At times though, I’ve actually had to reach down between my legs to pull back the damn thing! The horror-the inconvenience of it all-terrible design. Their fix is not to replace the floor mat, but to reconfigure the gas pedal which I guess means to modify it in some fashion. Sounds extreme to me-think I’ll pass.

I don’t know about body art but aren’t the rest of those pretty well endemic to Congress and the Senate?
I have to wonder if these qualities he feels are threatened aren’t at least as important for a Legislator or President as for a grunt. My own opinion is that we should hold our “leaders” to higher standards, not lower ones.

The corruption of these leaders is less threatening to me than the acceptance of it. When Jefferson was caught red handed the Legislature was more concerned about turf than about excising the rot. That makes them the enemy of the people.

OK, actually, the forecast is for 12″ to 28″ over the next 30 hours. Nothing that even qualifies as panic inducing. No one in my area lives more than a 10 minute walk from a grocery store, bar, ABC state store or at least 30 restaurants. Still the quiet desperation is palpable.

Thanks, X, but I’m good. I bought the thing new, keep it maintained, and havent had any trouble with it. It’s my third Toyota truck in 20 plus years and they’ve all been trouble free. Well, except for the one I flipped and rolled but that was mostly my own fault.
I hope the snow won’t mess up Slash’s guitar work. The rain here has been pretty steady since about three this morning-I assume we are on Storm Watch but haven’t checked the news.

Hi Jerrie-
Things are fine-and if I complained too much, folks would just point at me and say mean things anyhow.
Our orphan cats are venturing out more-the ugly male went outside a couple of times yesterday but got confused easily and ran back in. At least he found the patio door safely. The female now is sneaking around at night but mostly to just sit up close and stare at us-that’s kinda creepy. I’m glad they dont have paws that can grasp things.

I was reading over at Ace’s place about the woman who got buried in the the Obama tee shirt. I’ve only been to one funeral where a guy got buried in a tee shirt; it was an old biker friend of Mrs Sven’s and the tee shirt had the words “Fuckin’ Unbelievable, Isn’t It?” wrttien across the chest. Everyone found that quite funny.

Oh, Sven, I so felt for you about the extractions of your teeth.
Years ago when I was new to DC (30+) I went to an oral surgeon to have my wisdom teeth removed. Living alone at the time I told him I didn’t want gas, Novocain would do. The first three removals were painful but relatively fast. The last tooth was impacted. When the surgeon got out the little Dremel-like circular saw I knew I have made a HUGH mistake.
I’ve suffered greater pain but never for so long. He had to put in these large black rubber blocks so I wouldn’t bite down.
Stupid Jerrie!

Thanks Sven. The posts I built to match the house. I also put in the granite edger blocks and the walk to the left. The shrubbery was almost entirely end-of-season scratch and dent. I are thrifty.
Comment by Lee
February 5, 2010 @ 1:16 pm
Ugh. I guess I could have gone the local route, but the gas thing sounded so much nicer. My problem has been with the ones on my lower jaw which grew deep and at right angles-those had to get broken up for removal and are still sore. Im at least off the pain pills and just 4 Advil a day and can function on that, and I can sleep at night except for the cat staring at me.

I can’t imagine getting my wisdom teeth pulled at this age. It sucked when I had ‘em done at 18.
They knocked me the hell out after leaving me on the laughing gas for about a half-hour.

The kids are looking forward to going to the mountains to snowboard tomorrow. Like most kids, they are retarded plan-ahead challenged. I haven’t told them that if the forecast is true they won’t be going anywhere.
I plan to wake them up tomorrow with a hearty breadfast before I break the news that they are stuck with me. At least I’ll have some help in shoveling the walks. Well, OK, with much gnashing of teeth and sighing.

Hi Fatwa,
No snow, no ice in Happy Larryville?
Comment by Teh Plague Fairy
February 5, 2010 @ 2:58 pm
The rant I’ve been on for a week or so….
Mrs. Obama and the childhood obesity campaign…
Some say Obama should not have personalized the issue and brought up her daughters. Even if it is for the greater public good, critics say, it does not bode well for their self-image. Others say the first lady used that example only to connect to Americans who may find themselves in a similar position.
That’s it. No quarter given anymore…I’ve tried to be nice. This woman is an idiot. That’s it. Idiot. So, it’s ok to use your children if it’s good for the state? They’re really gonna thank her for that someday – not.
Two points in particular: One, girls that age are very sensitive to any comments about their weight or their personal selves. Two, if they feel hurt by it they will never tell, (until their big book comes out in about 20 years) because everyone around them is telling them that their parents are so good at parenting that all of the world is taking tips from them! Obviously, their own feelings are unworthy and they’d better hide any hurt because it surely means that they don’t care about the country’s children as much as their beloved mum does and they are selfish for feeling that way.
It all might come out ok. It might, and I hope it does. Those poor girls have already been made examples of to show how “normal” their folk are. Can you imagine your dad telling people that you messed up a science test? Even telling your aunts can hurt at that age!
Quite a risk to take with your children.
Idiot. She’s an idiot. I do so declare…

Yeah, but it’s a sad state of affairs nonetheless. The Left were fools thinking, if they thought about it all, that 8 years of Bush-bashing were going to be forgotten and forgiven upon the coronation of the first eveh African American President. And they are even stupider if they thought no one anywhere was not going to notice the double standards and hypocrisy when it came to comments, gaffes, race, etc. And surprise, not just notice, but perhaps take some action at the ballot boxes.

Sven – the article you linked to made a great point. Michelle O is one big woman (those high belts and huge applique flowers aren’t fooling anyone at all) and if she has some anecdotal story to tell she can just start with her own self.
Howdy-doody, Miss Harper!

Between holding their daughters out as examples of fatty-fat-fatness and taking them to that racist, anti-semitic craphole of a “church”, one could make a case they’re child abusers.

The Europeans are busy disowning him, so maybe he can go full African on ‘em.

Teh Plague Fairy: You’re right, her kids, those poor children of the “perfect parents”…are not fair game.
On a personal level, I’d agree. However, the treatment of Sarah Palin’s children, all of her children, by the media, by entertainers, by bloggers, etc., set a different standard. That mistreatment continues unabated to this day.
Michelle Obama has thrust her kids, however ill advisedly, into a campaign of her own making. She’s used them as props, anecdotes for her own little crusade. I dont believe anything this administration says including all the wonderful little anecdotes that President Obama routinely throws out-I wonder if this one that Mrs Obama tossed out is even true.

Sven – apparently, Mr. Obama also confirmed at some point in the past few days that the kid had some pre-chunkyness going an awhile back.
I can’t recall where I read that, though.

HillBuzz is a good site-a bunch of gay guys who were Hillary supporters now turned anti-Obama. They’ve recently been targeted by KOS and DU and had their identities and addresses posted, and been on the receiving end of Deb-like threats and attacks.

You know, all HEALTHY kids have a little chunkiness at a pre-teen level. They need it to grow. If they are still chunky at, say, 14, then maybe there is a problem. Maybe not.

I’m sure that made his daughters feel better, not that I’d believe him anyhow. I’m difficult that way. I mean, was he even born here?
