Finally added some pictures to my Flickr page. Apparently I’m on hiatus from this page. Crossing my fingers that it will be permanent. I’m ready for this page to be a part of my past. It’s my awesome templates that keep me from deleting the whole thing.
Back in Colorado. The Olympic trials were awesome!!! The judo trials were combined with the wrestling, so there was much to watch. Vegas is Vegas. Sweltering and sleazy.
Still hating the Internet, staying off the computer. Will try to load pictures to my Flickr page sometime in the next few days.
The husband and I leave for Vegas this afternoon. I’ll try and post pics. I know I always say that, but I REALLY mean it this time. We’re looking forward to the Olympic trials.
I am seething with hatred in regards to this pathetic excuse of a human being.
Obama Uses Police Memorial for Porta Potties
PORTLAND, OR – Police officers in Portland, Oregon, are still waiting for an apology from Barack Obama after campaign staffers of his recent rally in Portland, Oregon, setup porta potties directly on top of the Portland Police Memorial, which honors the agency’s 25 fallen police officers.
The Obama rally drew a crowd of over 75,000 people.
Officer Thomas Brennan, who was working overtime at the rally, took a picture of the offending toilets, with the American flag still at half mast because of Police Officers Memorial Day, directly behind them. The local law enforcement memorial service had been held at the site only five days earlier.
Despite a large amount of open areas in the vicinity, the campaign staffers claimed the toilets were placed on the memorial for safety reasons to accommodate wheelchair access.
The Obama campaign has not responded to requests for an apology.
Barack Obama’s official website is open to anyone wanting to opine in regards to their support of him. One of these community blogs is Socialists For Obama.
A very anti-semetic post that has been removed.
Just a small example of who this is that you’re supporting.
Swiped from a variety of places, will update later because I need to gather up my guns and Bibles so I can cling to them. Additionally at some point, I need to take the time to figure out where those extra states are. Might be busy for a bit.
Juicy goodness:
I tried to post something today, and Bad Behavior ate it. Kind of. So I deleted it. Will try later when I’m not frustrated.
Uploaded a ton of stuff on my Flickr page. This is what we’ve been up to lately.
The e-mails have started coming in. We are all fine, just busy; and I’m at one of those points again where I loathe the Internet. It’s beautiful outside, our yard looks awesome; we’re spending lots of time out there and still attempting to recover from the hub-bub of #2’s graduation and the party that followed.
There is plenty out there to write about, I’m just not pissed off enough to actually do it.
Oh, and two weeks from today the husband and I will be in Vegas watching the Olympic Trials!! Two weeks from today is also his 40th birthday, we are looking forward to our long weekend away.
Have a nice weekend. We will. ATV’s and a Rapids’ game.
We’re all fine. Received several e-mails and a text message from Steve wondering if we were okay. Windsor is about an hour north of us, lovely little town. It’s one of those places that I would move to if I could. They’ve done a lot of improvements over the past few years and made it habitable.
The thing with this particular storm is when it developed. We have spent many, many late spring/early summer afternoons hanging out in the basement because we were under a tornado warning. Fortunately where we live, they really don’t start touching down until about 5 miles east of where we are. I watch the funnels touch down around the lake all the time. More than once I’ve yelled for the kids to come and watch the funnels over the lake. I have a friend who used to live next to that lake and I always teased him about being where they touch down at. He always said “no, no; they touch down across the lake; we’re fine.” Oops, I digress. These storms do not really cause problems until around 3:00 p.m. or so. Having it happen before noon was just weird. Yesterday morning I watched those clouds build to the north and thought they looked wicked. There is a look those clouds have when there is a possibility for tornadic activity. Many of my neighbors in the states to the east of me know what I’m talking about.
I’ve been holding out for video. In this day and age, everyone carries around digital recording devices with ease. The news station website I frequent the most is Channel 7’s. On the upper right hand side they have a video someone submitted who was golfing at the time. (sorry, no permalink) I love these vids because they’re raw and unedited. Like the part where a man says “that is totally a fucking tornado dude”. I expect more of these to pop up in the coming days. If I run across any good ones with links, I’ll let you know here.
I’ve been way busy. Family in town, #2 graduates tomorrow and I have only God knows how many people coming over on Sunday for his party. I have been busting my backside to try and get everything taken care of.
How about a little weekend music to end this post on. I’ll try and post some pics of this weekend. Have a good one.
p.s. The weather is currently unsettling.
Happy 18th birthday to son #2!! Wow, two of my children are legal adults. It’s a good thing #3 made his way into this world, otherwise I would not be okay right now. Here’s #2 a few weeks back with his girlfriend as they were headed out the door for prom.
When #2 woke this morning he went to the main stereo and blared this:
Gawd I love him. I will miss him so much when he leaves for college in the fall.
This is another reason why I’ll miss him. He shows me shit like this.
Also, a big thank you to Peggy and Jodi for yesterday. I had a blast. I should really spend time with females more often.
I will be adding to this post over the next few days; just a few things that caught my interest. But our land calls to me non-stop to tidy her up. Making progress. Have to; graduation party in a week and a half.
Again, check back for updates . . .
The Tax That Really Stinks
Fart tax on cattle
Estonian authorities have slapped a flatulence tax on farmers to compensate the country for the methane gas produced by cows.
Farmers this week received their first ‘fart tax’ demands asking them to pay for the greenhouse gases their cattle produce.
A single cow is thought to produce on average 350 litres of methane and 1,500 litres of carbon dioxide per day from flatulence and burping.
It is thought that cattle are responsible for up to 25 per cent of methane gas emissions in Estonia.
Opposition politicians have slammed the tax however. Jaanus Marrandi, spokesman for the opposition People’s Union of Estonia said: “This is unprecedented in any EU country.”
Come on. I pray they never come to my house. All these guys, and then they have their friends over. Fart fest at Stacy’s. Pay your tax at the door.
Cows have been farting up the planet for how many years now? Geezuz.
Denver Police Officer Poses for Sexy Photo
Abbe Dorn is a contestant on American Gladiators
DENVER (MyFOXColorado.com) - A photograph of a female Denver Police officer posing on all-fours in white lingerie is raising questions.
Abbe Dorn has been on the force for two years and on Monday the Denver Police even sent out a press release about her selection as one of the contestants in American Gladiators.
“The public information officers at the Denver police were expecting this when they put her out there as the gem of the Denver police department,” said Brad Jones of the political website facethestate.com.
A Fox 31 investigation found the picture on the body building website hardbody.com.
Some folks who saw the picture asked “why is she not wearing any pants…is she wearing a thong.” Pauline Economon called it “soft core porn” and very disappointing to see an officer posing like that.
Others said so long as she was a “good officer” the picture shouldn’t matter. Denver police refused our requests for comment on the story and Dorn was unreachable by phone or at her home.
In the news segment aired last night, the on-the-street consensus leaned towards citizens disgusted.
Stacy says: “PleeFuckinEeze”
For years Law Enforcement Departments and Fire Departments have been marketing calendars. Sometimes the proceeds for the calendars benefit charities, and sometimes the departments use them to buy necessary equipment that is not within the budget.
Tell me what’s the difference?
The argument is that she is posing in a sexually provocative position. The first man-candy photo is sexy, but in the second, Bruce is lying down in a position that could be interpreted in a sexual manner. Most of the LEO and firefighter calendars have beefcake oozing with sexy testosterone. But of course, I wouldn’t know anything about those kinds of calendars. Yessirreebob, I don’t know nothing about those calendars.
Get over it. She is a beautiful woman, ripped and headed to American Gladiators. Best of luck Officer Dorn, I will be cheering you on.
(note to self: keep those private pictures private)
