Just some links from work. I was surprised they didn't use any of my interview. I guess they didn't like when I told them where they can stick their newspaper.

Hey Andy, the same thing happened here in Modesto. They started printing my "local" paper in Sacramento and laid off off a shitload of local men and women here in town. When I heard that, I called and told them to stick my subscription up their fucking asses.

Bacon Ice Cream? Yeah, baby.....
Hi Ken!

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- From bacon shakes to beer flavored ice cream, wacky flavors are proving to be a crowd favorite.
For Moo Creamery in the southwest, experimenting with different flavors has worked out in their favor.
Jalapeno cream cheese with a raspberry swirl is the newest flavor for the summer.
Jessica Pounds, owner of the restaurant, said it's all about experimenting.
"Playing around in the kitchen or when we're making pastries, coming up with different flavor combinations and turning into ice cream."
An experiment with a breakfast favorite has become a treat to many palates.
"A friend of mine loves bacon on everything, so she had asked me to make bacon ice cream. So I had a home ice cream maker and I made it and thought it was a terrible idea. So she had me try it and after three days of tasting it I finally thought it was good," said Pounds.
Amy Sakowski is not a huge fan of the bacon flavored ice cream but said the name is definitely true to taste.
"The ice cream tastes like vanilla and then salty. It tastes like breakfast, bacon," said Sakowski.
The restaurant makes nearly 100 gallons of ice cream a week, and most of the ingredients are homemade.
"We have no emulsifiers, stabilizers or unpronounceable words in our ice cream mixes," said Richard Yoshimura, owner of Moo Creamery.
The ice cream starts off as a custard like consistency made of cream, milk, egg yolks and sugar.
It's then poured into an ice cream maker, and 10 minutes later, it comes out like soft serve ice cream.
After adding a additional ingredients and mixed it is put in a freezer at 20 below temperatures for a few hours. After that, it is put in another freezer to soften so it's scoopable.
But it is a certain ingredient that can't be bought that Yoshimura said makes their ice cream different. "We give it a little love and a gourmet twist to it."

Too true
Yeah, that crazy ass Indian ex-wife of mine rubbed this shit in my face for 16 years. Hey, it ain't my fault they had bows instead of guns and no tolerance for smallpox.
Thanks for the post, Lula.
Doin' my civic duty
Okay, today I had to report for jury duty. Now as anti-government as I am lately (since November, anyways) I know I should've told them to stick their jury duty up their ass, but I gotta tell you, I don't have a problem with serving on a jury. For one thing, a trial by jury is guaranteed by our Bill of Rights.
That's minor shit, though. The real reason I didn't try to get out of it is: My daily commute is 70 miles round trip, me leaving the house at 5 AM and getting home around 6 PM, and that's after running non-stop all fucking day. With jury duty, my boss pays me my full wage, my commute is 4 minutes, it's from 10 AM to 4 PM with an hour and a half for lunch. I sit on my ass all day and I get to fuck somebody - either the defendant or the District Attorney, I don't care which as long as I have a part in it.
I put on a long sleeved shirt, slicked back my hair, shaved and washed behind my ears then headed down to do my civic duty. I parked in my usual spot when I have to go downtown and reported in. I read my book and drank iced tea until noon, then walked the block and a half to my truck and found a fucking parking ticket under my wiper. What the fuck? And I noticed the car with the Obama sticker next to mine had one too. I looked to my left and noticed for the first time the new 1 hour parking sign. Then another one to my right. I didn't even notice them when I parked, and apparently the dummycrat next to me didn't notice them either.
I was a bit dismayed, but what can I say? I had my head up my ass, and I'll pay the 30 bucks. But there's no reason for both me and the idiot parked next to me to both have a fucked up day so I did him a favor, took the ticket off his windshield and threw it away. What he doesn't know won't hurt him.........
Anyways, I went back after lunch, found a different place to park, read for a while and then got picked for a jury. THEY ACTUALLY PICKED ME!!!!!! Dumbasses! Wait 'til I stroll in tomorrow in a T-shirt and a chew in my mouth smelling like tonight's beer.
So now, I'm off work until Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, get to sleep in 'til 7 in the morning and get to participate in a 12 way fucking. And there's a actually a couple of nice looking ladies my age on the jury, too.
Excuse me, my beer is getting warm.

Obamopoly
The object of the game is to destroy American capitalism by having the government take over everything!
Wanna play? No??? Too bad, you're already playing....and quite frankly, in this game, nobody wins.

But what about the Hope and Change?
WASHINGTON – Nine months into the fiscal year, the federal deficit has topped $1 trillion for the first time.
The imbalance is intensifying fears about higher interest rates and inflation, and already pressuring the value of the dollar. There's also concern about trying to reverse the deficit — by reducing government spending or raising taxes — in the midst of a harsh recession.
The Treasury Department said Monday that the deficit in June totaled $94.3 billion, pushing the total since the budget year started in October to nearly $1.1 trillion.
The deficit has been propelled by the huge sum the government has spent to combat the recession and financial crisis, combined with a sharp decline in tax revenues. Paying for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan also is a major factor.

Happy Birthday, Andy!
Dammit Andy, I forgot to wish you a happy birthday! I'm sorry, Bro. Really I am.
I know you lost your job (FUCK YOU OBAMA!!!) and that's a hell of a birthday present, but I truly hope that it opens new doors for you.
Is that invite to go fishing with you next spring still open? I'm still planning to head to Texas for a vacation.

My birthday present
The chair, not the dog.
Yes it is camoflauge, and yes it was bought at Bass Pro.
The chair, not the dog.
I don't know why, but I can't seem to take a picture inside unless there's a damned Punkindog in it.
The Angry Patriot
Okay, I fucked up.
Here's a blog that I meant to post a week or so ago and flat spaced it out. I don't know if it was the 1970s (or 80s or 90s....) or me getting caught up in my vacation or indulging in too much bacon (Bacon. Mmmmm, bacon.....) and Budweiser or what, but I forgot.
You can figure his blog out too by checking the title.

Q: What's the main problem with Barack Obama jokes?
A: His followers don't think they're funny and everyone else doesn't think they're jokes.

Palin in 2012!!!!
WASHINGTON – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said she's not only staying involved in national politics, but she plans to jump back into the national scrum when she leaves office at the end of the month.
The former Republican vice presidential nominee said she plans to write a book, campaign for political candidates from coast to coast — even Democrats who share her views on limited government, national defense and energy independence — and build a right-of-center coalition.

Sounds about right
The latest telephone poll taken by the California Governor's office asked whether people think illegal immigration is a serious problem:
29% of respondents answered: "Yes, it is a serious problem."
71% of respondents answered: "No es una problema seriosa."

World has avoided economic disaster, Obama says
By CHARLES BABINGTON, Associated Press Writer Charles Babington, Associated Press Writer
L'AQUILA, Italy – Lasting worldwide recovery "is still a ways off," President Barack Obama declared Friday, but he also said at the conclusion of a global summit that a disastrous economic collapse apparently has been averted.
Obama said world leaders had taken significant measures to address economic, environmental and global security issues.
"Reckless actions by a few have fueled a recession that spans the globe," Obama said of the meltdown that began in the United States with a tumble in housing prices and drastic slowing of business lending. The downturn now threatens superpowers and emerging nations alike.
Obama urged national leaders to unite behind a global recovery plan that includes stricter financial regulation and sustained stimulus spending.

The U.S. Constitution – Void Where Prohibited
July 6, 2009 by curtislowe
From ABC News:
US-Russian Arms Negotiators “Under the Gun,” Might Temporarily Bypass Senate Ratification for Treaty
With the clock running out on a new US-Russian arms treaty before the previous Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or START, expires on December 5, a senior White House official said Sunday said that the difficulty of the task might mean temporarily bypassing the Senate’s constitutional role in ratifying treaties by enforcing certain aspects of a new deal on an executive levels and a “provisional basis” until the Senate ratifies the treaty.
“Until the Senate ratifies the treaty.” What if they don’t ratify it? Do we just ignore them? Or do we rescind the treaty? Or does it even matter any more?
“Bypassing the Senate’s constitutional role.” Did you read that? They aren’t even scared or embarrassed to say it right out loud now.
At least for the first six months of his presidency reign, Obama just ignored the whole “constitutionality” thing – like you ignore your ugly cousin at reunions – you just pretend it’s not even there. But now, he is actually admitting that HE KNOWS what he is proposing is unconstitutional, but he just doesn’t give a shit.
He is out and out telling the U.S. populace that he is knowingly and willingly going to violate the tenets of the very constitution that he swore an oath to uphold…
There is a word for that.
Curtis is right!! There are several words for that!!! And none of them are good words either!! He's not just out to do away with the 2nd amendment, he's doing away with the whole constitution!! His idea of presidential power's is "a wee bit over the line" don't you think???
