Is This Blog On? version 2.0

I just hit my head really REALLY hard.

Hello? Anyone?

Fridays usually suck around here, so I suppose Fridays before a holiday suck even louder.

Christopher Hitchens has some recommendations for the Left. Here’s my favorite:

Isn’t it time to revive the demand that homosexuals be allowed to wear the uniform of the U.S. military? This was once the united cry not just of all gay organizations but of a wide liberal consensus that helped elect Bill Clinton. How can such a thing have been so vital and yet been so hastily dropped? Surely the slogan should be “Now More Than Ever”? Our enemies are torturing and butchering gays whenever and wherever they find them (as are some of the militias who claim to be our “friends”), and meanwhile the American establishment is not just denying gays the right to join but actually firing those who have joined. (I am thinking in particular of the Arabic and Persian translators, fired by a CIA that can barely read English, let alone any Middle Eastern language.) Which Republican will dare resist?

“Gays in the military” has become a forgotten battle-cry ever since the left has decided they’d rather they had the right to walk down the isle together.

Of course, if my neighbor’s behavior is any indication of what a gay man might do in the face of danger …

Pictured here is a Chihuahua; the dumbest dog on the planet. In the past, as I have mentioned, I have be accosted, while walking my German Shepherd, by a pair of Chihuahuas that live on the next block. You do the math – if that little dog gets within eating distance of my dog, it’s gonna get hurt. The dogs have run out from their back yard at Greta, and twice they have even run across the street to “fight” my dog. Before, I had always managed to get enough distance between Greta and the stupid snack. Until yesterday.

That stupid dog came running out, and I had managed to get Greta into the street, but the dog continued to chase us and started nipping at her hind legs. That was not to be endured, and Greta turned and gave that dog something to think about.

I really do hope that the dog was ok. But, even more I hope that dog learned something.

And, as if yesterday didn’t totally suck enough, at the end of the walk, a PIT BULL (which wins for ugliest dog ever, and qualifies for Stupidest pet to own, but that really should be awarded to the owner) broke its CHAIN LINK to come after Greta. It was like a mouth of knives – that’s the view I got of the hideous beast. I screamed myself horse for help, but the (gay) guy who lived next door was too busy running the other way. A young man did come to my aid. His sexuality will not be questioned.

* Missy is my cousin’s wife, who owns a pair of Chihuahuas. I’m sure yours are nice, and would never attack a dog 20 times their own size. And, if it would, then I’m sorry because your dog is stupid too.

This from Reuters:

MULTAN, Pakistan (Reuters) – Fateh Mohammad, a prison inmate in Pakistan, says he woke up last weekend with a glass lightbulb in his anus.

Wednesday night, doctors brought Mohammad’s misery to an end after a one-and-a-half hour operation to remove the object.

“Thanks Allah, now I feel comfort.

Yes, thanks be to Allah for that, I’m sure.

Mohammad, who is serving a four-year sentence for making liquor, prohibited for Muslims, said he was shocked when he was first told the cause of his discomfort. He swears he didn’t know the bulb was there.

“When I woke up I felt a pain in my lower abdomen, but later in hospital, they told me this,” Mohammad said.

“I don’t know who did this to me. Police or other prisoners.”

Yes, tell me another one. Matter of fact, let me know – what does Mohammad (PBUH) say about sticking things up your ass? You may have another sentence coming up.

I just went postal on a postal employee. And, I could do a bit more.

GRRRRRR.

My dog has never chased or bit or otherwise bothered that damn lady. Yet, if the dog is even OUT when she she anywhere near my block, she will complain. I try to keep the dog in totally until she delivers the mail. I even sat outside, this morning, while she did her business in the back yard to insure there was no trouble.

Yet, today, I get a visit. I was polite for a while. A pretty long while, actually. But, then it got to me and I snapped.

I can burn the American flag, and it’s protected as freedom of speech. But, what would happen if I burned this flag?

I read over the weekend that the fine public educational system of Detroit graduates under 50% of it’s students.

If you’re going to get snarky about the quality of public education, you might not want to use “it’s” when you mean to use “its.”

Well, Marc, I did go though the Detroit Public school system. What can you expect?

AND FOR THE RECORD, my blog isn’t a dissertation. I have been known to post without editing very closely. Big deal. If your only comment is regarding the grammar of my blog, then spare me.

And, I do I live in the City of Detroit. The horrible condition of the public school system should be an embarrassment to all of its (see, I caught it that time) citizens. Graduation rates are estimated to be as low as 27% – that would be only ONE of my five children graduating from high school, if statistics were borne out by my family.

And, not only do they suck academically, but the corruption that exists is astonishing. Just today, this article came out.

The Detroit Public Schools must repay nearly $1 million to the federal government after an investigation found officials misspent money earmarked for increasing parental involvement in low-income schoo

My favorite example? The five flat-screen TVs that were purchased, but aren’t actually IN any of the classrooms. Where do you think we’ll find those tvs?

How many days do you think Cynthia McKinney is going to last?

Because conservative talk-show hosts have no right to privacy. Isn’t it just the funniest?. You know, because he’s a right winger, and he can’t get it up.

I’ll tell you what’s really funny? Incontinence. Every time I see an older person buying depends, I just laugh and laugh.
