What a damn morning...among other things I will not go into I have been trying to fix the error message on my new laptop that I got when I was trying to do the windows updates. I think I have it fixed...used the go back and went back to day one. Did the updates and they all took with no error messages. Of course that wiped out every fucking bit of the security that I had on it...and even though the security downloads show in documents I can't pull them up now. Oh hell, no problem see, I am made of fucking money. So I went to town, bought a damn Norton disc and downloaded it. No problems right? Except I also have Norton on the new desk top and my account now doesn't show both the laptop and the desktop. And if that is not enough I had yahoo messenger on the laptop and tried to uninstall..won't do it...WTF? Gotdam. I am beginning to hate computers in general and YAHOO in fucking particular. One thing for damn sure...I am not going to click on Windows Exporer 64 bit...that is what got me in trouble to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I may just go fishing and say fuck it all...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14757996-7230012512730641551?l=charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com/feeds/7230012512730641551/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14757996&amp;postID=7230012512730641551&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14757996/posts/default/7230012512730641551'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14757996/posts/default/7230012512730641551'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com/2009/11/good-gawd-girty-whut-gash.html' title='GOOD GAWD GIRTY WHUT A GASH!'/><author><name>GUYK</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02365709988592687239</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08808456557180246082'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yHHyDmKhTIg/SwwUWRSGxCI/AAAAAAAAIQI/grIQTfVTZhU/s72-c/shooting+paper+010.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14757996.post-9052661746535550636</id><published>2009-11-24T06:20:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-24T06:42:38.524-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Good Morning Blog World</title><content type='html'>I just got this &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01vjlJZRw5Q&amp;feature=youtube_gdata"&gt; hilarious youtube video &lt;/a&gt; via e mail...I laughed all the way through it.

The 'How To Stay Young' bit has pretty muchly been my philosophy of life for years...I have always figured I was younger than my age....hell, sweetthing says I started my second childhood at forty. I reckon so. There is one thing in this that I do want you to remember..&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt; "Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity."&lt;/span&gt; You know, just in case tomorrow never comes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yHHyDmKhTIg/Swp2BU7gnDI/AAAAAAAAIPo/HxYACMHX1eY/s1600/image.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yHHyDmKhTIg/Swp2BU7gnDI/AAAAAAAAIPo/HxYACMHX1eY/s400/image.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407264067781958706" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;HOW TO STAY YOUNG&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  Throw  out nonessential numbers. This  includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about  them. That is why you pay 'them'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  Keep  only cheerful friends. The  grouches pull you down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Keep  learning.  Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.  Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's  workshop.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.  Enjoy  the simple things.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.  Laugh often,  long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.  The  tears happen.  Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us  our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Surround  yourself with what you love ,  whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants,  hobbies, whatever. Your  home is your refuge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.  Cherish your health: If  it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9.  Don't take guilt trips.  Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a  foreign country but NOT to where the guilt  is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10.  Tell the people you love that you love  them, at every opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND  ALWAYS REMEMBER  :&lt;br /&gt;Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,  but by the moments that take our breath  away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if you don't send this to at least 8 people - who cares?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But do share this with someone.&lt;br /&gt;We all need to live life to its fullest each  day!!  &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Worry about nothing, talk to your creator about  everything!!!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14757996-6870294129805910061?l=charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com/feeds/6870294129805910061/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14757996&amp;postID=6870294129805910061&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14757996/posts/default/6870294129805910061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14757996/posts/default/6870294129805910061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com/2009/11/best-e-mail-of-day.html' title='Best E-Mail of the Day'/><author><name>GUYK</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02365709988592687239</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08808456557180246082'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yHHyDmKhTIg/Swp2BU7gnDI/AAAAAAAAIPo/HxYACMHX1eY/s72-c/image.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14757996.post-7949625545094465768</id><published>2009-11-23T06:37:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-23T06:40:38.207-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Best Read Of The Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yHHyDmKhTIg/Swp0noVV-gI/AAAAAAAAIPg/ynVbB-IfZGg/s1600/Joan.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yHHyDmKhTIg/Swp0noVV-gI/AAAAAAAAIPg/ynVbB-IfZGg/s200/Joan.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407262526802360834" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She missed her calling...Joan should be writing a &lt;a href="http://primordialslack.blogspot.com/"&gt; political column &lt;/a&gt; for a major news media.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14757996-7949625545094465768?l=charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com/feeds/7949625545094465768/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14757996&amp;postID=7949625545094465768&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14757996/posts/default/7949625545094465768'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14757996/posts/default/7949625545094465768'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com/2009/11/best-read-of-day_23.html' title='Best Read Of The Day'/><author><name>GUYK</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02365709988592687239</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08808456557180246082'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yHHyDmKhTIg/Swp0noVV-gI/AAAAAAAAIPg/ynVbB-IfZGg/s72-c/Joan.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14757996.post-1623220672823641321</id><published>2009-11-23T05:34:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-23T06:16:15.307-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Good Morning Blog World</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yHHyDmKhTIg/Swpu-fWOt8I/AAAAAAAAIPY/CpgEc99zjTk/s1600/GetAttachment.aspx.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 77px; height: 128px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yHHyDmKhTIg/Swpu-fWOt8I/AAAAAAAAIPY/CpgEc99zjTk/s200/GetAttachment.aspx.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407256322457384898" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You want something that will just make your day? Take a look at &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/23/business/23rates.html?_r=1&amp;th&amp;emc=th"&gt; THIS.&lt;/a&gt; The United States government now owes over 12 trillion dollars and the interest on that debt is over 200 billion dollars a year...but that is not the real kicker...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;With the national debt now topping $12 trillion, the White House estimates that the government’s tab for servicing the debt will exceed $700 billion a year in 2019, up from $202 billion this year, even if annual budget deficits shrink drastically. Other forecasters say the figure could be much higher.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;And it is going to get worse. Not only will baby boomers be retiring and expecting to get their share of the Social Security 'ponzi scheme' they have been paying into for decades the Obama administration is pushing socialized health care and some other bills such as capt and trade and some energy bills that will cost the country in tax revenue because they will close down business or force them off shore.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there a way to stop this madness? Yeah, there is but the public don't want to hear it. First is to freeze spending, next shitcan Obama's socialist policies,  and then rescind the odorous legislation that is sending business off shore including laws that make the playing field between labor and business tilted towards labor. It will take decades but the country can grow its way out of debt provided congress will let it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"BUT GUYK!" you say, "WHAT CAN I DO?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simple, &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;BUY LEAD! All you can afford and then some on top of that. I am predicting a time in the near future where a couple of .45acp cartridges will buy more than a 100 dollars bill...when a currency is worthless you best have something to barter with...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;....................................................................................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spent some time chatting on the Face Book chat line last night with &lt;a href="http://irishwhiskey66.blogspot.com/"&gt; my favorite witch &lt;/a&gt; who resides out on the left coast and with &lt;a href="http://tallcooldrinkofwater.blogspot.com/"&gt;the best Cajun cook in Port Lavaca Texas.&lt;/a&gt; Face Book is a great way to stay in touch, huh? Even if you never get a chance to chat on line you can always go buy and look at your friends pictures and check to see if anything exciting is happening in their life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of something exciting in my life...not.

The people are against &lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_health_care_overhaul"&gt; this travesty of a health bill &lt;/a&gt;and congress knows it yet the dim-a-crits insist on pushing it through. WHY?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At best this health care overhaul will raise the cost of health care for 85 percent of the public to pay for health care for 15 percent that now do not have it...and for the most part they do not have it by choice. Why is congress pushing this so hard?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does the country need some health care reform? Sure...a couple of things would help considerably. One is to be able to buy insurance across state lines and put more competition in the insurance business. And of course the repeal of laws that require emergency rooms to treat any one who walks in for any gotdam reason. And then although not about health care per se tort reform would probably do more good than anything else. So why are the dim-a-crits pushing so hard?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only one logical answer...fucking greed! Yeah, just like Obama promised before he was elected...he is going to see to it that those who have earned it are going to share it whether they like it or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really don't have a dawg in the fight over wealth...I ain't got none...but I do have a dawg in the fight over my freedom and what the fucking socialists are trying to do is take it away...hell they have already taken away too much of it just by their PC laws. This is not the same country I dodged bullets for so many years ago..and probably never will be again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United States of America was a shining light in the darkness of this earth...offering an opportunity for success and the opportunity for pursuit of happiness. There was no guarantee of success of either but there was a guarantee of opportunity. But no more...Obama and his commie government are promising you they will tax away your economic success..even your home under the bills proposed to 'save the planet'. And as for pursuit of happiness...well, we still have the internet, at least until the government gains control of it too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yeah, and you wonder why I am depressed? yeah, this among other things will do it.

It brought back memories...not of nine days off but of gathering pecans in November.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Oklahoma along the creek bottoms where there is ample surface water and good soil pecan trees grow wild. The native pecans are not much like what you buy in the grocery market which are for the most part what we called paper shells. Native pecans are not only smaller..about half the size of a paper shell..but are some kind of hard shelled. The natives have a better taste and a lot more oil in the meat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And there is a demand for the native pecans. Even back in the 1950s native pecans were bringing as much as 35 cents a pound...and this was in the days when a roughneck on a drilling rig was earning $1.60 an hour for slinging steel all day. A day in a pecan bottom gathering wild nuts could bring in what was a weeks pay from the rigs...tax free!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, and I spent a lot of Saturdays on my knees under a pecan tree picking up those nuts even when I was a pre-teen and later when I was older even more time in the bottoms...with my car I could get to those that I could walk to as a pre-teen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was gather as fast as possible and the haul butt to the general store and sell before they closed. 25 or 30 pounds was enough to fund a Saturday night date and then closing down the local beer joint after  I took the date home...unless she happened to be a date that closed down the beer joint with me..LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, I know...I am just rambling here. Saturday mornings cause me too do that sometimes. And you know? I don't miss the pecan bottoms much. No grass burrs in my fingers nor grass stains on my jeans. But I wouldn't trade the experience for anything...I reckon who I am today..the good and the bad is from those experiences of my youth...the well spent days and the misspent days...and I suppose those days were about equal.

Let me tell you something people, back in the days before political correctness 18 known communications with the enemy would get you a court martial and some time in a military slammer. And damn right, Anwar al-Awlaki is an American born radical raghead cleric and an enemy of the USA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is only one gotdam reason that the whistle was not blown on Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan and that is the gutless military commanders were too gotdam afraid of the left wing screaming about the sumbitches rights...the screams about racism and religious bias got 13 good people killed and 30 more wounded. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People listen, sometimes when you are outnumbered it is best to attack! We are not only outnumbered by the ragheads we have been infiltrated to the point that we don''t know who to trust and those who have been charged with identifying those we cannot trust have failed due to do so because of being afraid of being charged with prejudice or religious bias. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of you who were not taught much about American history let me give you a quick lesson. During WW Two Japanese immigrants and citizens were rounded up and put into concentration camps...why? Because there were some who were loyal to the Emperor of Japan and no one knew which ones.. it was decided that it was better to be safe than sorry. Moreover, recent immigrants from Germany were watched very closely by the FBI and military intelligence for the same reasons. Was this wrong?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no right or wrong when it comes to war...just winning or losing and if you are not prepared to do whatever it takes to win you probably are going to lose  because your enemy has no qualms about doing whatever it takes to win. There is an adage about "all is fair in love and war"...and it is a true one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do YOU want to win? Or lose your freedom and learn to speak Arabic and be forced to fall on your knees and pray five times a day. It is YOUR decision my friends and the only way you can save yourself and the republic is to scream and scream loud about the political correctness  that is destroying the republic...you see, a spade is a spade...not a gotdam shovel.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14757996-7141305047173166493?l=charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com/feeds/7141305047173166493/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14757996&amp;postID=7141305047173166493&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14757996/posts/default/7141305047173166493'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14757996/posts/default/7141305047173166493'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com/2009/11/wtf-over_21.html' title='WTF?

Either bill, the House or The Senate, if approved will cost millions of jobs and close or drive off shore more businesses than this country can afford to lose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The irony to me is that the health care bills are less about health care than they are about spreading the wealth...a large leap towards socialism and total government control over your life. Take a look at California and the state's financial problems..this is what happens when the public demands and the politicians try to provide a free lunch. Those who have to pay resist paying and move out and the government borrows to pay the bill until credit is gone and the state is bankrupt...and only then stops spending like drunks in whorehouses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no stopping the left wing in congress right now. They have control and know where the bodies are buried and will be able to push through this travesty as well as cap and trade and the rest of the bills designed to destroy the republic. There is little we can do to stop them...the opposition has joined against them but are outnumbered and will be outvoted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But we can remember and keep screaming! The left wing gained power via lies and making noise...the squeaking wheel got the grease. If we want to keep this republic we will have to do the same and not only get out to vote next November we must insist and insure that our opposition leaders are real and not left wingers in masquerade. Just two more anti-socialists in the senate would be stopping this scam right now. I think we can put them there next fall. I just hope it is not too late. I am getting kinda old to be fighting a revolution in the streets. &lt;br /&gt;....................................................................................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went to bed early last night and crashed. It was the first time in weeks that I have slept more than four or five hours but the hell of it is I woke this morning tired...go figure. Maybe tired of sleeping? Heh.

And the public is putting the &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/19/AR2009111903167.html?hpid%3Dtopnews&amp;sub=AR"&gt; pressure on congress. &lt;/a&gt; Congress knows damn well that there is an election less than a year from now and that if they keep on spending money like drunks in a whorehouse they are going to lose their jobs..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People, congress created this recession and financial crises with the misguided &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_Reinvestment_Act"&gt; Community Reinvestment act &lt;/a&gt; and subsqent additions to it. The act along with community organizers such as Obama, Jessie Jackson, and ACORN extorted banks....forcing them to make sub--standard loans. The demand created because of this pushed the price of real estate beyond reason! Then the lending institutions tried to recoup and packaged and the substandard paper to others who did he same until the while dam scam come tumbling down around the head of congress. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If congress really wants to fix the economy the best place to start is rescinding this odorous act. Then shit can the health care bill, the damn cap and trade bill, and any and all bail outs of 'business to big to fail'. Then make the Bush tax cuts permanent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Private enterprise can grow us out of this recession. People, if left alone and not taxed beyond profitability private enterprise can eventually even get the country out of debt. But business cannot do it under the current rules. No capital investor is going to risk much without know what the rules are going to be. And under Obama and the current congress who knows what the rules are going to be.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14757996-2937145082588987296?l=charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com/feeds/2937145082588987296/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14757996&amp;postID=2937145082588987296&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14757996/posts/default/2937145082588987296'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14757996/posts/default/2937145082588987296'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com/2009/11/public-is-angry-at-obama.html' title='The Public Is Angry At Obama'/><author><name>GUYK</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02365709988592687239</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08808456557180246082'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14757996.post-7232559585631754249</id><published>2009-11-20T10:02:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-20T10:04:20.462-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Just For Glee</title><content type='html'>LOST CHURCHES OF LOUISIANA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hurricanes that hit the Gulf Coast of our nation were  devastating.

California is broke and business is leaving because of the tax rate and without business taxes the state cannot continue to fund its socialist programs...especially the brainwashing programs at schools such as the University of California Berkeley. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still believe the wisest move would to be to make deal with China..just trade the Chinese California for the dollar markers and dollars the Chinese hold. It would serve everyone right. The rest of us would see a stronger currency, the Chinese would get a good investment, and California would finally have the communism they seem to desire...and no doubt would find out soon about free lunches.&lt;br /&gt;.....................................................................................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmmm. Is this an opportunity for &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2009/11/17/world/20091118-INDIA_index.html?ref=world"&gt; an interesting off shore job? &lt;/a&gt; Coconut pluckers indeed...&lt;br /&gt;.................................................................................&lt;br /&gt;It looks like the Emperor has sent &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/20/world/asia/20policy.html?ref=world"&gt; the court jester &lt;/a&gt; to Afghanistan because what he is demanding is a fucking joke. It is gotdam obvious that he has no conception of how Islamic government run...namely &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baksheesh"&gt; BALSHEESH! &lt;/a&gt; All governments are corrupt to some point...but Islamic governments are built on bribery and corruption...rigged ballot boxes and payoffs to supporters. (I know first hand about dealing with such governments...I adopted a child in Turkey...and by the time I got through paying the baksheesh I felt like the kid was bought instead of adopted.) Obama is in over his head and every time he sends a woman to a fundamental Islamic country  he gets ion a bit deeper. Keep in mind that only a few short years ago women were not even allowed to be educated in Afghanistan...and to fundamental ragheads sending a woman to talk to them is an insult. Obama is too fucking naive about the world to understand that. What a fucking joke...a sick one.&lt;br /&gt;.....................................................................................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over 200 years ago the United Sates was a fledgling young country with big balls...and hit the   &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/20/world/africa/20pirates.html?ref=world"&gt; PIRATES &lt;/a&gt; where they &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Barbary_War"&gt; LIVED!&lt;/a&gt; Now that courageous move is part of a song...' from the shores of Tripoli'. Yeah, and now the United States is a world power...but small balls. The politically correct are so afraid they will be condemned if a pirates wife and kid happen to get killed they are afraid to hit the pirates where they live...and the pirates know that and operate almost at will. &lt;br /&gt;...................................................................................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is going to be another one of those 'jacket losing' days on the west central coast of Florida. It is a light jacket morning but will be a shorts and t-shirt afternoon. And yeah, this is why I live here I reckon....that and the fact there is no state income tax...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To those of you who commented on my &lt;a href="http://charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com/2009/11/good-morning-blogworld.html"&gt; first post yesterday &lt;/a&gt; I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude. Thank you for caring. My friends and loyal readers make doing this blog worthwhile. Writing every morning can be a chore sometimes instead of fun but then I always was a work-aholic. It is just on those mornings when the words don't come easy that I get that 'blah' and 'WTF am I doing this for' feeling. But when the words come I get over it soon enough. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have blown off some steam this morning my friends and hope maybe I have given you something to think about...especially that off shore job opportunity...hmmm wonder if that is anything like chicken plucking?

And that is to stop the mullahs such as &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/19/us/19awlaki.html?hp"&gt; Anwar al-Awlaki &lt;/a&gt;who preach the hate and violence. In fact, that may be the only way to stop radical Islam. And maybe that is why God invented cruise missiles. Sending a couple through Awlaki's window might save some lives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw during my time in the middle east (Turkey) that the majority were not leaders but followers. They have been brainwashed from childhood to follow the instructions of the clerics with out question. Take out the clerics and then you have a leaderless mob which is easier to contain. Hell, maybe we need to take out all the Islamic clerics and then send the mob Obama.

Several reasons but mostly my heart is just not in it today. I have been at this blog now since July 2005 and the only days I have missed were when I could not get access to the web. I have enjoyed talking to you each morning about everything from my personal life to the news with some jokes thrown in just for glee. But lately sometimes writing is a chore instead of the fun it should be...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not going to quit blogging but maybe I do need a sabbatical...and then hell, in an hour I may see something on the news I want to rant about and hope that my rant makes a difference to someone. But then maybe that is the problem..all the rants and the begging and the preaching has been mostly preaching to the choir and has done little good other than act as a means of me blowing off some steam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, please, accept my apologies for this post. Maybe I am just some depressed this morning.

Consummating the marriage by 9.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         Even though a woman is abused she can not obtain a divorce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry.  The family has the right to execute her (an honor killing) to restore the honor of the family.  Husbands can beat their wives 'at will' and he does not have to say why he has beaten her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        The husband is permitted to have (4 wives) and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         The Shariah Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        In the West World ( America ) Muslim men are starting to demand Shariah Law so the wife can not obtain a divorce and he can have full and complete control of her.  It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending American Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Shariah law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        By passing this on, enlightened American women may avoid becoming a slave under Shariah Law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Learn More..... Read: Cruel and Usual Punishment just released in most bookstores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Ripping the West in Two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Shariah law on the world, ripping Western law an and liberty in two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        She recently authored the book, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         Darwish was born in Cairo and spent her childhood in Egypt and Gaza before emigrating to America in 1978, When she was eight years old, her father died while leading covert attacks on Israel. He was a high- ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with his family in Gaza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         When he died, he was considered a "shahid," a martyr for jihad. His posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position in Muslim society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She questioned her own Muslim culture and upbringing. She converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping sharia law - what it is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose sharia on the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President!  I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        This is your chance to make a difference....! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hat tipped to my friend Butch&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14757996-4515380329056736846?l=charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com/feeds/4515380329056736846/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14757996&amp;postID=4515380329056736846&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14757996/posts/default/4515380329056736846'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14757996/posts/default/4515380329056736846'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com/2009/11/for-your-information.html' title='For Your Information'/><author><name>GUYK</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02365709988592687239</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08808456557180246082'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14757996.post-6179329546679090079</id><published>2009-11-18T08:39:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-18T09:02:00.175-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Good Morning Blog World</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yHHyDmKhTIg/SwP-NytQwhI/AAAAAAAAIOE/sP4DG_I_J-8/s1600/image001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yHHyDmKhTIg/SwP-NytQwhI/AAAAAAAAIOE/sP4DG_I_J-8/s200/image001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405443490678096402" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The emperor says he is &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/19/world/asia/19prexy.html?hp"&gt; getting close to making a decision about what to do in Afghanistan. &lt;/a&gt; Yeah, he has been in the orient talking to his commie comrades and kowtowing to world leaders and bragging about how fucking important he is while allied troops are standing targets for the Taliban because of his rules of engagement. He says he don't want to pass the problem on to the next president....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;"Most important, he said, is that he is asking “what’s the end game on this thing, which I think is something that unless you impose that kind of discipline, could end up leading to a multi-year occupation that won’t serve the interests of the United States.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People, are the interest of the United States and our allies being served now in Afghanistan? This country is among the poorest and most corrupt on this earth. It always has been and likely always will be. What are we proving by putting troops in harms way with rules of engagement that give them little hope of ever winning?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are only two decisions that Obama can make that are logical...change the rules of engagement and allow the troops to fight to win. Let them call in air strikes when ever they find Taliban and blow them off the face of the earth. If it means killing some women and children so fucking be it. This is what ended the war in Germany and in Japan. War is not something fucking glorious...it is a nasty bloody business and no one hates it worse than those who have to conduct that nasty bloody business. But killing until the Taliban goes into hiding is he only way to slow them down and people, we can NEVER stop them. Radical Islam has been around for centuries and will be around as long as there is Islam. Slowing them down and containing them is the best we can hope for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other logical option is to just get the fuck out...pull out ever troop and cut off all the money to Afghanistan. Let the Taliban have it. Freedom is never free and it appears obvious to me that the people of Afghanistan do not understand freedom let alone want it. If they did they would be up in arms against these murderous sumbitches and stopping them. But instead they are blaming the allied forces for their problems. Fuck 'em. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it all comes down to what I have written here so many times before...shit or get off the pot. Fight to win or get the hell out.&lt;br /&gt;.....................................................................................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is another beautiful morning on the Florida central gulf coast...a bit foggy but the sun is starting to burn it off and it will be 80F by noon or so. I have some chores hat I have been putting off...and with weather like this maybe I can figure a way to do it again. It is just to nice to be working. I had much rather sit out under the trees and think about work instead...see I am not afraid of work...I can think about it for minutes at a time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life is good my friends and so much better when you have an Angel of the Morning...y'all come back now, heah?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14757996-6179329546679090079?l=charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com/feeds/6179329546679090079/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14757996&amp;postID=6179329546679090079&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14757996/posts/default/6179329546679090079'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14757996/posts/default/6179329546679090079'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com/2009/11/good-morning-blog-world_18.html' title='Good Morning Blog World'/><author><name>GUYK</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02365709988592687239</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08808456557180246082'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yHHyDmKhTIg/SwP-NytQwhI/AAAAAAAAIOE/sP4DG_I_J-8/s72-c/image001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14757996.post-7130772415159760691</id><published>2009-11-17T09:41:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-17T09:43:33.128-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Ain't It A FACT</title><content type='html'>DON'T BOTHER WATCHING THE NEXT OSCARS, THE CHOSEN ONE HAS ALREADY WON IT FOR BEST ACTOR...&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yHHyDmKhTIg/SwK2Pne0fsI/AAAAAAAAIN8/zUnmrssPElc/s1600/brokebank.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yHHyDmKhTIg/SwK2Pne0fsI/AAAAAAAAIN8/zUnmrssPElc/s400/brokebank.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405082882210561730" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14757996-7130772415159760691?l=charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com/feeds/7130772415159760691/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14757996&amp;postID=7130772415159760691&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14757996/posts/default/7130772415159760691'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14757996/posts/default/7130772415159760691'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charmingjustcharming.blogspot.com/2009/11/aint-it-fact.html' title='Ain&apos;t It A FACT'/><author><name>GUYK</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02365709988592687239</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08808456557180246082'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yHHyDmKhTIg/SwK2Pne0fsI/AAAAAAAAIN8/zUnmrssPElc/s72-c/brokebank.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14757996.post-1246142655606750938</id><published>2009-11-17T08:26:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-17T08:45:28.179-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Gooed Morning Blog World</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yHHyDmKhTIg/SwKkp706XEI/AAAAAAAAIN0/pFcNKru9lTI/s1600/091116-obama-bow-vmed-530p.widec.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 168px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yHHyDmKhTIg/SwKkp706XEI/AAAAAAAAIN0/pFcNKru9lTI/s200/091116-obama-bow-vmed-530p.widec.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405063543139228738" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;What the FUCK?
