Dunwoody Vs Krok
and in this corner.....
and in this corner.....
I missed Gene Dunwoody’s beat-down of Chris Krok Friday morning.
But within a few minutes, my poor one-lung desk phone was flooded with calls wanting to find out my reaction.
By the time I was able to get back to the radio, all I heard was what seemed to be a cowed and chastened Krok whose one man show was strangely free from his usual histrionics.

From Erick Erickson:
God On The Side of the Democrats?
God On The Side of the Democrats?
Received the following from Erick Erickson today. Seems that a couple of Democratic Hot Shots are cheering on hurricane activity that will affect the GOP convention the week upcoming. Remember the old song….WITH GOD ON OUR SIDE?
Don
This has to be seen to be believed.
Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Don Fowler, on an airplane back to South Carolina, is caught laughing that Hurricane Gustav is going to hit New Orleans at the start of the GOP Convention and therefore God must be with the Democrats.
"Everything is cool," he tells Congressman John Spratt (D-SC), seated next to him. They both laugh it up.
A RedState contributor just happened to be behind them and caught it all on tape.
Sincerely yours,
Erick Erickson

Lew Rockwell
Dictatorship and Major Political Parties
Dictatorship and Major Political Parties
I have a love-hate affair going on with Lew Rockwell, Libertarian Extrordinaire, and his website/newsletter: http://www.lewrockwell.com
There is so much here that I enjoy reading, so much that is pure mental stimulation, so much history, archaeology, science, and politics that draw me back six days a week with the regularity of a drunkard’s hangover.
Yet for all that good stuff, there is so much about the Libertarian philosophies that I cannot stomach nor agree with except, perhaps, on a theoretical level.
And so we come to: Longing For Dictatorship

Flag?
FLAG??
Who's Got The Flag?
FLAG??
Who's Got The Flag?
Don
For two days RedState has been at the Democratic Convention trying to find American flags.
Sure, when the television cameras come on for prime time network coverage, the Democrats have been passing out flags like candy.
But when the prime time lights are not on, and for the entire time Tuesday night, including during prime time, there have been no American flags: not in the crowd, not on the stage, not in the hallways -- nowhere.
Well, we finally found some American flags.
They Were In The Trash
Let's skip, for a minute, that this is supposed to be an environmentally friendly campaign and the flags were thrown in with paper, plastic, food, and other junk. Ignore that.
Just focus on this: The Democrats only pulled out the flags for prime time Monday night and Wednesday night. They have otherwise avoided all displays of the American flag. After Wednesday night, they threw them in the trash.
Sincerely yours,
Erick Erickson

Standardized Flopping
in
Bibb County Schools
in
Bibb County Schools
It is one of those delicious ironies that the Bibb County BOE finalized raising property taxes this week on the same day that the latest SAT scores were announced.
The Scholastic Aptitude Test is but one indication of how well a school system is doing. But here, in Bibb County, no matter how the BOE spins years of statistics the basic facts are simple: Georgia ranks in the bottom ten per cent of these fifty states in educational achievement and Bibb County remains near the bottom of all the systems in Georgia…both rural and urban.
We ain’t doin’ to good, is we?
The SAT stats: (out of a possible 2400 points, up from 1600 since an essay was added)
State Average: 1453
Bibb County Average: 1330
And the school board wants to throw more money after bad, hoping to achieve better results by doing nothing very much different.
One problem: too much expensive, bloated bureaucracy and not enough dough reaching the teachers and kids in the classrooms.
One Solution: Get rid of the over-paid jerks who have no kid contact and replace them with administrators who are also part time teachers.

Morning Talk Screed
Ho...Hum...
Ho...Hum...
We have all heard of something called 'in depth reporting' among media mavens. In depth simply means a report or presentation done after much careful research and a significant loss of shoe leather.
Listening to Chris Krok right now, continuing his one-sided attack on Elaine Lucas. Today he has targeted an honorable, long time member of the Macon PD, Captain James May, who, until recently, headed up Precinct One here in East Macon and was largely responsible for the decrease in crime in this area.
Krok's approach to the story, as it is with everything else the fact-challenged youngster spews, might be described as 'IN SHALLOW'.
Only five days to Kenny B. and Charlie R.

Listening To The Opera On A Soggy Saturday Afternoon
Listening to a production of Donizetti’s LUCIA di LAMMERMOOR on NPR right this moment, smack dab in the middle of Lucy’s Mad Scene, actually.
Lucia is one of my favorites. Not this production.
Peach State Public Radio, when the Metropolitan isn’t in session, gives us a pretty good substitute for the real live thing called ‘World of Opera’.
Today’s Lucia is in French, For whatever reason Glimmerglass Opera, a small, upstate New York company not far from where I grew up, made that fatal error, stealing much of the punch of the original. Opera should always be heard in the original tongue….I don’t know an exception to that rule. The words and the music of the original scoring were made to support one another.
But today the fault of the production goes beyond language. The piece requires a tenor and soprano in the lead roles. Today’s tenor is weak, sometimes reed-thin in the vocal chords, while the soprano, a lady with a decided fingernail-across-blackboard edge to her voice, did manage to hit a majority of the notes Donizetti actually wrote.

I don't know why it took me so long. But I finally did it.
Weaned myself from a lifetime of wearing white athletic swocks,
Trading them in for the ever so much more practical black variety available in all popular lengths.
Black simply looks better with more shoe and pant styles, and hides dirt, sweat, and grime more effectively.
Now you can safely wear the same socks to the gymn and to work without offending the fashion police.

Humor From The
BOORTZ BLAST
BOORTZ BLAST
A little political humor from Neal Boortz:
The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither the Republican candidate nor the Democratic candidate had enough votes to win.. There was much talk about ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but a week-long ice fishing competition seemed the sportsmanlike way to settle things. The candidate that caught the most fish at the end of the week would win the election.
Therefore, it was decided that there should be an ice fishing contest between the two candidates to determine the winner.
After much of back and forth discussion, it was decided that the contest take place on a remote frozen lake in northern Minnesota.
There were to be no observers present, and both men were to be sent out separately on this isolated lake and return at 5 P.M. with their catch for counting and verifi- cation by a team of neutral parties. At the end of the first day, John Mc. returned to the starting line and he had ten fish.
Soon, Obama returned and had no fish. Well, everyone assumed he was just having another 'bad hair' day or something and hopefully, he would catch up the next day.
At the end of the 2nd day John Mc. came in with 20 fish and Obama came in again with none.
That evening, Harry Reid got together secretly with Obama and said, 'Obama, I think John Mc. is a low-life, cheatin' son-of-a-gun. I want you to go out tomorrow and don't even bother with fishing. Just spy on him and see just how he is cheating.'
The next night (after John Mc. returns with 50 (fish), Reid said to Obama, 'Well, tell me, how is John Mc. cheating?'
Obama replied, 'Harry, you're not going to believe this, he's cutting holes in the ice.'

What Have I Done?????
Came home a little later than usual yesterday, home to my loving brood of seven (7) cats
I like cats because they are largely independent, intelligent creatures who can take care of themselves, albeit to the detriment of the bird and squirrel population of the area.
They were all waiting for me, milling and mewing, making noises that said, "Glad to see you, Pop, now feed us." And of course I did.
As I watched them eat, each enjoying a gourmet supper from his very own freshly washed dish, it occurred to me that these delightful creatures,born wild, self-sufficient, and independent had been turned into a bunch of Teat Sucking, Handout dependent Democrats.

Subject: Fraudulent Door to Door Alarm Salesmen in Riverside Park 8/20/08
Please forward to all members of your Neighborhood Watch Groups.
This evening, Neighbors in Riverside Park diligently reported several men going door to
door saying they wanted to do a Home Security assessment of people's homes.
A Neighbor asked them for their business license, which they could not produce.
They tried to tell him they were new in business and hadn't gotten one.
The Neighbor phoned MPD and one of the door to door men who was
picked up had several outstanding warrants in Riverdale near Atlanta. The Riverdale
police would not pay the expense to come pick up the suspect, so the MPD ticketed them and
told them to get out of our Neighborhood, warning if they returned they would be jailed.
If you encounter these door to door salespersons, please notify the MPD or BSO immediately...

EXCLUSIVE
Obama Picks His VeeP
Obama Picks His VeeP
It is much more difficult for Barack Obama to pick his vice-presidential running mate than it is for the Senator McCain of the GOP.
The Democrats’ tent is so broad, so all-inclusive that he must be ever vigilant to avoid offending one wing or another of the Party of the Mythic Jackass.
Obama is also in something of a sticky wicket because he doesn’t want to select somebody who is of higher presidential timber than himself. A Veep with genuine gravitas, who possesses more than a smattering of elementary economics, and has considerable experience in foreign affairs would make the presumptive candidate look like a second rater.
We know that he has made his choice already and is playing games about the announcement. However, insiders deep within the Obama campaign have leaked the name of the candidate to this b’log and tonight, without fanfare or ballyhoo, we let our readers in on the secret identity.
You can read the powerful bio of the anointed’s anointed HERE
Thank you and good night.

Krok Talk
A Critical Review
A Critical Review
I said on WMAC’s very own air early last Friday that I wouldn’t be tuning in Monday….or ever again. But I did, not for wanting to, but due to the fact I could not get on my ancient porta-radio the station where Kenny B and Charles Richardson are holding forth.
So I gave up and tuned in to Chris Krock’s show and have been more or less listening to it for just over two-and-one-half hours now.
Permit me a brief, critical review:
Krok Talk is:
2. Redundant
3. Iterative
4. Boring

In this particular piece Morris argues for Joe Lieberman to be named Senator McCain’s choice for vice president.
Shock and awe…he will lose some of the righteous wing voting base, wail conservative punditi. Maybe, but what he loses will be more than made up by independents and Democrats unhappy with Barack Obama, the anointed one.

"Hey Dad," one of my kids asked the other day, "What was your favorite fast food when you were growing up? " "We didn't have fast food when I was growing up," I informed him. "All the food was slow."

We hope Pastor Warren will ask the tough questions, not just the popular questions.

Charisma, Hype, Ambition, Leadership, and Sheeple
I fear any cult of personality, especially in politics.
It is this adulation that worries me about Obama, the world has seen countless charismatic politicians who turned into two bit dictators, or, worse, men like Hitler and Idi Amin.
As we have seen recently in the John Edwards affair, adulation along the stump tends to lead to an over-inflated ego, a sense of raw power and near invincibility. That's exactly what is happeningwith Barack Obama....he is coming to believe all the hype about him....and that alone is sufficient to make him a him the dangerous leader of an obsessive people.
Please take a look at this brief, brilliant clip from the movie CABARET...don't simply listen, watch....watch the people as well as the youngster singing. It should frighten you. It did me back in 1972 when the movie came out.

The End Of Local Talk Radio As We've Known It.
R.I.P. WMAC
R.I.P. WMAC
After Friday I won't be listening to WMAC 940 AM Morning Talk Radio.Not in the forseeable future.
Kris Krok, the loudmothed, firebrand who auditioned for two days a few short weeks ago, is moving to Macon to hold down the 6:00-9:00 slot as a solo gig. "Chris always works alone," we are told.
Cumulus Broadcasting is, unwisely many think, advertising Krok's advent. Better it had been kept a secret. That would avoid defections like my own.
Fortunately for Macon, Mr. Krok has had an abysmal record of employment, jumping from market to market and station to station faster than crap flows through a goose. He won't be here long. He'll insult an advertiser or a a prominent citizen or ten and shazzam.....there goes the Krok. The kid probably needs to explore another line of work, something he can be successful in.
All is not lost. Starting Monday Macon will have a wonderfully familiar new talk radio pairing, one I cannot wait to hear.
Tell you more tomorrow but when the rains came a few hours ago, my living room sprung a major leak and I am busy bailing like hell to keep my belongings from floating away. I do feel a bit like the little Dutch brat with his finger in the dam holding bnack the North Sea right this minute.
Now we know the real reason why Erick Erickson is leaving talk radio.

Automobile Break-in
on
Boulevard
on
Boulevard
Sometime between two this afternoon and about three or three-thirty, a car was entered and a large sum of money taken from it.
Sadly, the car was unlocked at the time and the thief, sensing a target of opportunity, did his dirty work.
The police were summoned, of course, the neighborhood canvassed for possible witnesses, and fingerprints taken.
PLEASE KEEP YOU CARS LOCKED….it only takes a lowlife a few seconds to steal what they want.
Anybody with any ideas can email or call me at any time.

Erickson Quitting Talk Radio
Erick Erickson, freshman member of City Hall's Gang of Fifteenl, ersatz pundit, sometime blogger, and the person voted by some rancid British publication the sixty-ninth most influential twerp in the entire United States, announced this morning that he will be giving up his seat beside the golden throne on 940 AM WMAC radio at the end of the week.
Seems that Mr. Erickson is burning his candle at both ends and finds that his weekend pub crawling with luminaries like Michael Barone is robbing him of too much sleep to let him arise sufficiently early in the AM for a morning radio gig.
Now Erick is a pretty good kid: intelligent, Incisive, a little bit full of himself, perhaps, articulate. His major fault seems to be a decided aversion to older persons, people of my generation who don’t drive down Forest Hill Speedway fast enough to suit his adolescent impatience. Stay cool, Erick, you are only going through a phase and will grow up someday. You too may become a ‘blue hair’ in the fullness of time.
I don’t have a clue what will be happening at WMAC after Friday. There was an ugly rumor on the street that some Cumulus moron actually offered Chris Krok a job following his two day tour de farce a few weeks back. Krok would have been ridden out of town on a rail by now for his juvenile antics. Krok makes Erickson look like an old pro in the wide world of talk radio.
I will tell you this, if the Cumulus brass takes Ron Frasier out of the 6-9:00 A.M. catbird seat, there will be a guaranteed grassroots boycott of the station’s sponsors until his re-assuring voice returns to the fold. Ron has become a most welcome regular feature after only a year in Middle Georgia.

Someone tried to break into my house around 1:15 today. He was a teenage boy with orange t-shirt and brownish colored shorts. He was white with red hair. He was a little overweight. He used a shovel to bust out all the windows on the garage. I was home and saw him walking toward the house with the shovel. I called the deputy sheriff and they came and took a report.
Maybe someone in the area would know who he was by his description.

The Ruskies Is Coming
Update
Update
Hey, y'all, this is Colonel Twiggs again.
Just heard on the radio that Russian planes are bombing Georgia cities.
Now we are camped in a field south of Athens. Still hope to get up to Hiwassee by the end of the week. Ran out of gas early Monday morning and a nice guy let us set up camp. We can almost see Athens and there ain't no bombing going on there.
Probably not bombing Macon much, either. Nothing much there left.
Also ain't seen no sign of the US army heading our way. That's a real problem...if the army won't fight, its only us that can hold the bastards off.

Yet Another From
Riverside Red
Best Quote of 2008
Riverside Red
Best Quote of 2008
BEST QUOTE OF 2008!!!
"From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working. After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan. 143 days? I keep leftovers in my refrigerator longer than that."

The Joke

A little quick forward from Riverside Red....read and weep:
The joke is on us!
What was the reason given for developing the Department of Energy during the Carter administration?
We have spent multi billions of dollars in support of this agency and I am willing to bet not one person who reads this will remember the reason given.
It was very simple.
THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY WAS INSTITUTED TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.
NOTE: IN 2008 THE BUDGET FOR THIS DEPARTMENT IS NOW AT 24.2 BILLION A YEAR. THEY HAVE 16000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATE 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES.

"50% Of High School Seniors Think Sodom and Gomorrah Were Married."
I want you to send these two links to everybody you know in education…K-12 education most especially.
This pair of videos, the first short, the second quite long, constitute one hell of a shockeintoin the molten arena that is United States Public Education, one of the very worst systems in the civilized world.
Send this note to Superintendents, principals, teachers, members of the board of education. Here in Bibb County Sharon Patterson might wake up if she were on the getting end of a few hundred of these not-so-subtle daggers to the heart of the darkness that is our county’s educational system.
Do Something…..Me? I’m personally madder than hell and I am most definitely not holding my intemperate temper back anymore.
No need to say more…let the videos speak for themselves. You may have seen the second one, it is an ABC 20/20 segment by John Stossel, definitely not the best friend of the huidebound Educational establishment.

Senator John Edwards
following in the footsteps of the master
William Jefferson Clinton
following in the footsteps of the master
William Jefferson Clinton
"Two years ago I made a very serious mistake," Edwards said, blaming the prominence of being a vice presidential candidate. "All of which fed a self-focus, an egotism, a narcissism that leads you to believe that you can do whatever you want," he said.
So saith John Edwards whose 400 buck haircut seems to have made him irresistible to members of the opposite.
Says something about the arrogance of power and how men and women are drawn to it.
You can see the interview on NIGHTLINE later tonight. I found this brief article RIGHT HERE on THE DRUDGE REPORT.
We will update this sordid little foray into prominent politicians of the Party of the Mythic Jackass soon. It sure is good to see a Dem get his tail caught in a crack for a change.

Little League Overkill

on the
Front Page
of the local
Daily Blatt and Bugle
Readers of the Macon Telegraph Wednesday last were treated to a front page spread about the stll victorious Warner Robins Little League Team trying hard to repeat last summer's World Championship.
The spread....titled 'Big Leap Forward' began at the top of page one, and continued with text and two photos almost to the very bottom. And that wasn't even the Sports Section coverage.
The kids, sad to say, lost a high scoring heartbreaker the very next day.
I love sports and and was a high school coach for more than twenty years. I also appreciate fully the kind of community and media support a team like the W. Robins so richly deserves.
But to treat the game as a page one event with more space devoted to it than at any time, if I recall rtightly, since the front page horrors of 9/11, is too much even for a jaded, small town paper.
Perspective, gentlepersons of the press, perspective is needed. Using so much space on that one day deprived us of news from Afghanistan. Iraq, the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, and a host of more important stories.
It is OK to paean these fine youngsters, but put a limit on the extent of your coverage. There are other newsworthy things taking place in the world beyond Middle Georgia.

Nancy Pelosi
Worst Selling Author
Worst Selling Author
The DRUDGE REPORT screams ”SPEAKER OF THE FLOP: PELOSI SELLS 2,737 COPIES OF BOOK” which tells the whole story of Nancy Pelosi’s literary disaster.
Some think she shut down the House of Representatives this past week to silence GOP criticism of the Dems’ No Policy Approach to our energy crisis.
Wrong. Big Mamma Pelosi turned off the lights so that she could go on the talk circuit to shill her book, KNOW YOUR POWER.
She managed to sell 2,737 copies, one of the list’s worst sellers of the week.
Go back to your day job, Kiddo, get those lights back on so the Republicans can humiliate Obama’s energy ploy.
Or better, why not quit politics all together and get back to the kitchen where every good Italian wife belongs.
I can smell the veal from here

Twenty-Six Cheerleaders Were Locked In A ——-
Here is a LINK to an article from a Dallas paper which tells the saga of twenty-six high school cheerleaders who became stuck in a hotel elevator.
The girls were playing the age-old 'stuff the VW' game, trying to see how many of their kind they could cram into that cramped space. The herd of pubescent bimbos rode the machine down three floors but the ungrateful thing wouldn't open. Police successfully extracated the young ladies.
Let's see. Twenty-six cheerleaders. That should equal collectively one average adult IQ. Fortunately the girls were able to free up a cell phone and dial 911. Don't elevators usually carry an emergency phone or at least an emergency button?
Cheerleading is as much of a religion in Texas as is football.

Humor
from the
BOORTZ BLAST
from the
BOORTZ BLAST
This arrived earlier in the evening on the wings of THE BOORTZ BLAST
I was talking to a friend of mine's little girl the other day. I asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up and she replied, "I want to be President!" Both of her parents are liberal Democrats and were standing there. So then I asked her, "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?"
She replied, "I'd give houses to all the homeless people."
"Wow - what a worthy goal." I told her, "You don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where this homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward a new house."
Since she is only 6, she thought that over for a few seconds. While her Mom glared at me, she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?"
And I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."
Her folks still aren't talking to me.

This just in from the Bibb County Sheriff's Department:
A Business Watch member bank in South Bibb reported two suspicious suspects that were possibly casing the bank at around 12:30 PM today. The two are described as black males in their mid to late 20’s wearing white t-shirts and black pants. One of the suspects had a dread-lock type hair do and the other had short hair.
They were driving an early 2000’s model dark red (maroon) VW Passat. If you encounter these suspects, use caution and notify law enforcement of suspicious persons on the premises.

National Night Out
Hutto Style
Hutto Style
Despite the fact that Rick Hutto was late to his own Block Party, the pressing business of City Council and an ill-considered tax added to hotel-motel costs, the event was one of the very best ever.
At least two hundred folks passed the groaning board, men, women, children and some younger teen-types, kids dragged reluctantly away from their video games, those gifts of the Devil that Satan is using to destroy the minds of American youth.
It was a great party, very successful, truly enjoyable except for one little thing. The aforementioned teens, their faculties already made corrupt by a lifetime exposure to electronic tinker-toys, complained bitterly that 'there were no chicks to cruise'.
Not that they would have conversed with 'chicks' had there been any.
Don't worry. These boys will never get it together enought to vote.

Can The Stupid Economy Work Against Obama?
The nation is in recession, or near recession. People are nervous, uncertain about the future. The America their children will inherit seems seeded with pitfalls undreamed of since we were ruled by a certain Hanovarian King of England.
At least our economy is in the tank….we know that is true because the media reminds us several times a day. CV, that is our old friend ‘Conventional Wisdom’ claims that when the nation is gripped by economic hard times, we throw the president out and start fresh.

Is Sex Ruining Young America?
Too much sex in advertising? Too many bedroom situations during what was once called ‘the family hour’ on TV? Too many barely pubescent little girls exposing ever more flesh above jeans two sizes too tight for even their skinny frames?
Is exposure to sexuality ruining our kids, sending Western Civilization into a spiral of decline from which it will never recover?

BUMMER!!!!!
We are in the middle of a heat wave here. Temperatures are expected to top 100 F this afternoon.
For years I have always walked around the neighborhood to check on elderly neighbors, those who are most at risk during extreme periods of heat or cold.
Yesterday afternoon just as I was getting ready to attend the National Night Out block party, there came a soft rapping at the door. Most likely a child from the sound of it.
Opened the door and was met by a pre-teen rug rat who said, "Mamma says we have to check on you old people. Are you OK, Mr? Need an ambulance or sompin'?
I told the tyke I was fine, thanked her, and retreated to the inner sanctum of my apartment to let rip a rather unusual string of profanity, unique even for me.
Somebody go check on Ron Fraiser, please.

Ramblin' Wrecks
or
Just Plain Thugs?
According to some national pre-season polls, the University of Georgia football team is being hyped as a potential number one, national championship team.
If the coaching staff can keep its players out of jail and off probation for liuttle things like brawling, underage drinking, and youthful thuggery, that is.
Are the problems with street gangstaism so prevalent in some professional sports working their waydown to the college campi of our nation?
The University of Georgia football squad, vintage 2008, might just be the petri dish in which this slime-laden little experiment will be played out.
The 2008 Bulldog Team Picture will have a new look: among the red and black uniforms we will see more than a half dozen young men clad in orange, Clark County Jail, prison garb

Doug Giles on

Hunting and Politics
Matt Eastman’s gun show at the Macon Centreplex is nothing short of spectacular…..probably the best thing we have had locally during the thirty-two years since I uprooted my existence and moved from Boston to Macon, Georgia. It runs through 5:00 PM today.
Doug Giles, in this morning’s Town Hall newsletter has an interesting column you might want to take a gander at. It is called Ten Top Reasons Why I Love Hunting and is partly about the wonderful solitude of hunting, modern civilization, and even a little politics at the expense of the not-yet-dry-behind-those-enormous-ears Barack Obama.

An Email Update member received this phising attempt by email. The original email is in red text. This is a very tempting way to get your vital information so that they can commit a myriad of fraud crimes against you. NEVER REPLY TO THESE EMAILS. This email is NOT from Western Union. This is a classic example of using a famous company or organization’s name in order to gain the victim’s trust. Notice the characteristic misspellings and sentence structure mistakes that are made by overseas criminals.

Taking A Break
There are times in each life when a guy feels he is being nibbled to death by geese.
That’s not a rough equivalent to being up to your ass in alligators. Both are fatal, but the one takes forever to do a guy in.
That’s just how I feel right now. Lots of little things coming from all sides: obligations, requests, duties, family, you know exactly what I am talking about.
A singular benefit of a successful retirement is that one can step back a little, catch his breath, and relish the chaos of the larger world on its treadmill to oblivion. We can do that when we no longer have a regular job. Nothing I do can be construed as anything like ‘a regular job’. Shortly THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE goes on a brief hiatus.
There may or may not be any further entries until Monday or Tuesday. I don’t know right now and I don’t have to know.
Do something nice for your kids this weekend, take them to a gun show, for instance.

I can scarcely believe these old ears.
It's as if a miracle has descended from on high upon all 50,000 watts of our favorite local talk radio.
(Thank you, Barack....if it isn't being too familiar to use the first name of America's newest deity.)
In a discussion of proposed road expansions, including the perpetually-constipated Forest Hill Project, Erick Erickson, Macon's most illustrious political guru of any stripe, did not use the phrase, "Bluehairs in their Lincoln Town Cars."

Obama PlayingThe Race Card?
Is Obama playing the race card? He does not, after all, look like other presidents appearing on U.S. currency.
Of course he doesn't ...not a bit.
The contrast is obvious. Just look at them....Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, the whole gaggle.
Not one face on any of our paper money boasts a pair of ears half the size of the Democrats' presumptive candidate.
