Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 1929-1968

A great man. The  '60s were not all sex, drugs, & rock & roll, so fuck the right wingers. 

I Liked That Last Pass For A Touchdown

Screw the Cowboys, they've been a bunch of whiners since the Ice Bowl. Today, 34-3. Four more TD passes for Favre, no interceptions. Such on that Ted Thompson & Mike McCarthy. Oh, to the most loyal of my loyal four readers, I am presently preparing the ultimate explanation of Brett Favre's name that has "never been made in such detail or with such care." & if you click on the last link you will be rewarded by a gratuitous photo of Jeri Ryan, who's not as good looking as many think, but she's still, uhm, OK.

Knox Burger, R.I.P.

As good a place as any to be buried.

Mr. Burger himself was such a dedicated fly fisherman that his ashes are to be buried in a creel.

Peace In Our Time?

Not with a budget request like this. It just keeps piling up & I feel stupid for not understanding it better.

...an additional $33 billion to fight unpopular wars in Afghanistan and Iraq on top of a record $708 billion for the Defense Department next year,....

The Who were certainly correct.

Wont Get Fooled Again

Defense

What effing defense? Also, crooked refs.

No Wonder

I often think about why this country seems so fouled up when it comes to guns & sex, among other things. This popped up on my homepage today & it sure explains a lot. This ad is from 1918 & it promotes Erector (heh, heh) plus other "toys" by the same company. A nurse's outfit, now that really creeps me out, given the other toys advertised.

Full disclosure, I did receive an Erector set one xmas.  My family was visiting my mother's youngest brother in Waterloo, IA.  I remember building something.  Clearly, however, engineering was not in my future.  I never, ever, got a nurse's outfit.  I mean it.  I did marry a nurse, but she never, ever wore a nurse's outfit, anywhere, especially in our house. I mean it.

Health Care Reform

Good going Democratic Party. Oh well, what's a 175 lives compared to a bursting "war chest" of insurance company dollars?

Completely Missing The Point

& completely stupid, as well.

Land Of The Free?

No.

Judge Butler To Be Renominated

Good. Now, Sen. Reid, get your party in order & confirm Judge Butler. Given that Butler lost to a lying, no-good, cheating, snake (just speculating, of course, ed.), it serves the ReThugs well that Judge Butler be appointed. Time for some change I can believe in Pres. Obama.

I Guess The Same Old Tired Thinking & Letting The Foxes Guard The Chicken House Didn't Work

No surprise here. No change to believe in either. Oh, & the first understatement of the new year:

“The report is certainly a disappointment...."

Ah, Another Misspelling, Nonheroicvet Must Have Gone To A State School

I will give points for a relatively good memory. It is Gil Favor you were searching your memory banks to try & locate.

He does have that heroic Favre look.  & who can forget Frankie Laine.

Rawhide - Frankie Laine

In Response To The Nonheroicvet

Is this the Gil Favre you mention? Seems too French, but, then again, what do I know.

Packers Win

33-7.

&, of course, Favre wins big. The score, 44-7. Favre threw for 4 touchdowns, 316 yards, & for the season the following: 30 TDs for the 9th time; 4,000 yards for the 6th time ; 7 interceptions (the FEWEST of his career).

Happy New Year
