Shirt by Planetary Bargains





















The Dread Dormomoo and I are in a Perilous Place. Whilst we have not drunk the Kool-ade, We have eaten the cookies.

I find that I no longer have any problem believing that our Givemint is capable of doing anything. Not in a good way. Not in a "We can go to the Moon, and thence to the planets, thence to the STARS!" way, but in an "inside job to bring down major skyscrapers, to enable us to start some wars, and take the People's liberty in the name of national security" way.

I mean, when you have congressmen who justify outrageous and unConstitutional spending by invoking "the Good and Plenty Clause", it is certain that you are not gonna get any sense or truth out of Congress. The President passes off his old jobs stimulus speech as a NEW jobs bill speech, I guess because the dog ate his homework. That's credible. We have flag waving lackeys burbling about "Our boys protecting Our Way of Life", which on the face of it is true, but not the constitutional, Norman Rockwell American way of life you think. They protect the gate rape, email-scanning, surveillance camera-ridden, SECURE way of life we currently enjoy.

 I am developing the firm conviction that when The Opposition starts the name-calling, then you are on the right track. They have no substantive argument, so instead they go "Nya-nya-nya-nya-boo-boo."  "Truther", "(fill-in-the-blank) Denier!" Like that.

"Full faith and credit." Like fun.

Time to reprint my old Ben Franklin shirt. "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Sometimes I wish you could see the mental images I get when you refer to your lady as "The Dread Dormomoo".

You DO know where this comes from, right? (I don't mean Dr. Strange....)

First time I've seen her picture. You've definitely got a keeper, B'rer Hardy.

The government can do anything it wants.

Mentos!

Michael, I am thank you. As do she!

It's not a pleasant thought, but there's enough of a history of such abuses to atleast merit consideration.
I still wanna believe we're "always" the Good Guys Inc, LLC - it's just that the attitude of those in charge makes it harder all the time, to say nothing of their actions.
