No posts tonight.
Not in the fucking mood.

That's some straight up White Trash shit there
MANTECA -- A Modesto woman is suspected in the stabbing of another woman during a fight at the Strike Zone bowling alley on East Yosemite Avenue early today.
Angelica Strahorn, 22, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Police said she was booked at the San Joaquin County Jail.
The victim was stabbed three times, then treated for nonlife-threatening injuries at a hospital, police said.
Officers were called to the Strike Zone International, 1251 E. Yosemite Ave., at 12:21 a.m. Witnesses told them two men had an altercation and a woman — the victim — tried to break up the fight.
Then Strahorn got involved, police said. Police said she is suspected of stabbing the woman twice during the fight and a third time near the door of the bowling alley.
Who in the fuck carries a knife as their primary weapon nowadays?
Okies, I swear......

Ahmed jr, the suicide bomber
Saw this over at Right Truth this morning and had to steal it.
Hey, when we were kids, we all played Cowboys and Indians, right? But who always won? The good guys, our heroes the cowboys, right?
You can see who the hero in their play is - the suicide bomber.
Watch where the bomber (in black) says goodbye to all his friends, then is stopped by the security forces, then throws dirt and dust into the air to simulate an explosion.
Even if this clip was staged by adults (it probably was given the quality) it's still disturbing. These are the kids that our kids will be fighting in a few years.
We can only hope for lots of premature detonations.

Toddler Rushed to Hospital After Reportedly Being Served Alcohol at Applebee's
A 15-month-old boy was rushed to a hospital after he was accidentally served alcohol in a kids' meal at a Michigan Applebee’s, MyFoxDetroit.com reports.
Taylor Dill-Reese, the boy’s mother, said her son started acting strangely Friday at the Madison Heights restaurant after drinking from his sippy cup what she thought was apple juice. When Dill-Reese tasted the drink, it turns out it was margarita mix, according to MyFoxDetroit.com.
The boy was taken to the hospital, where he was examined by doctors. The family later learned the boy’s alcohol level was .10 – over the legal limit for an adult driver. The boy was later checked out of the hospital.
"Nobody at the table ordered alcoholic drinks," Dill-Reese told the station. "So, he definitely shouldn't have received one."

AP Exclusive: Terror suspects held weeks in secret
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — “Black sites,” the secret network of jails that grew up after the Sept. 11 attacks, are gone. But suspected terrorists are still being held under hazy circumstances with uncertain rights in secret, military-run jails across Afghanistan, where they can be interrogated for weeks without charge, according to U.S. officials who revealed details of the top-secret network to The Associated Press.

Even black voters slip from prez
No wonder he's become such good pals with Al Sharpton.
President Obama's approval ratings among black voters plummeted last month to their lowest levels ever, while his support among Hispanics took a tumble in the same period, according to a surprising new poll released yesterday.
Blacks continue to back him by a wide margin, with 85 percent of respondents saying they approved of him in the latest Gallup poll.
But that number dropped a hefty 5 percentage points from last month, marking the lowest rating among that core constituency that he's had since taking office.
He also dropped 5 points among Hispanics, sliding from 59 percent to 54, according to the poll. That number ties his July and August 2010 lows.
The one-two punch among two groups that helped usher him into the White House comes just after he announced the kickoff of his 2012 election campaign.

That's a far cry from the 98% of the black voters that voted you in because of racism, asshole.
Folks that voted for you because you're black was just as guilty of racism as them that didn't vote for you for the same reason.
Sheeeit, even your own people are hatin' your ass.
That's fucked up.....

Oprah Winfrey Will Not Endorse Obama in 2012
Oprah Winfrey, the queen of daytime television, will not be publicly endorsing President Barack Obama for re-election in 2012, a source told Pop Eater.
Back in 2008, the billionaire talk show host endorsed then-Senator Barack Obama -- the first time she had publicly taken sides in a US presidential election.
"For 2012, much has changed for Oprah," the source told Pop Eater. "She now has her own cable channel called OWN that has been struggling to find an audience -- she isn't going to do anything to alienate them."
"For 2012, much has changed for Oprah," the source told Pop Eater. "She now has her own cable channel called OWN that has been struggling to find an audience -- she isn't going to do anything to alienate them."
Winfrey's daytime talk show will end its 25-year run on May 25. She will then spend the majority of her time at the helm of OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network, a joint venture with Discovery Communications which debuted on Jan. 1.
After a big debut that averaged 583,000 viewers in primetime the first week, OWN has seen its ratings fall below those of the channel it replaced, the Discovery Health Channel.
"Unlike in 2008, when a drop in ratings didn't matter as much for the queen of TV, Oprah is now fighting every day to get people to tune into OWN," the source added, noting that while Winfrey will likely support Obama again, she will do so more privately.
"Helping a friend keep the most important job in the world is great, but making sure her OWN network thrives is now her priority," the source said.

Poor CharlieGodammit hates Hank III.
Just about the time I get good and fucked up, he's ready to go to bed and that's when I crank up my hellbilly music and start dancing around the house yee-hawing and thigh slapping.
I'm pretty sure my neighbors ain't real thrilled about it either.

Beardless in Modesto
Man, I did my usual last week and shaved my beard for the summer and again, my usual regrets. I hate it when I do it and don't ask me why I shave it off if I hate it so much afterwards.
I don't know.
My chin just don't feel right when I reach up to tug on it and I damned sure don't look right - at least not to myself.
I've done the same thing for the past 4 years and it doesn't even last a month before I say fuck it, it's time to get that taint tickler back on again.

Common sense gun maintenance
If you store your firearms and an emergency on-hand cache of ammo in a gun safe, remember that the material used in the fireproofing holds a small amount of moisture and is also slightly corrosive. You need to do two things on a regular basis. Open that motherfucker up whenever possible and let it air out and keep something inside to absorb that moisture whether it be a plug in module or good ol' silica.
Myself, I keep my safe open whenever I'm home. I always keep a pistol handy but my shorty and my 308 stay in the safe during the day - the shorty goes to bed with me along with my dog and an LED flashlight.
But I'm getting off subject here.
What I use is a mini-dehumidifier (Model 365) made by Remington and I believe it ran me about 35 bucks at my local gunshop. It measures about 6"x6"x1" and has silica beads that change color when they've absorbed moisture. When they turn pussy pink, I plug the unit into a socket for about 12 hours and it dries them out and back into the safe it goes.
Okay. Just because I have that in there doesn't mean that I forget about checking for corrosion on guns (I bet Derek cringes every time I refer to a firearm as a gun) that I don't handle regularly. At least once a month, haul the motherfuckers out, inspect them inside and out under a bright light and maintain them. If you start to see signs of corrosion, knock that shit off with some ultra fine steel wool, give the weapons a good cleaning and oil them down. More about oiling them in a bit.
If you've got gun wrap on your hunting/tactical weapons to camouflage them or to provide a sure grip, unwrap them and check them. That shit will hold moisture and fuck up that barrel and receiver for sure. Wrap only costs about 12 bucks a roll, figure that into your monthly budget. You should be changing that anytime the seasons or your shooting location changes anyways.
As a side note, I know a guy that went bear hunting up in Alaska and he got rained on every fucking day. On the advice of his guide he wrapped the gun, then sprayed the wrap with WD-40. When he got home 2 weeks later he unwrapped it and there wasn't a speck of rust on it.
Personally, I wouldn't do that because of the odor, but that's just me. If you've read my coyote hunting posts you know how I am about wind and scent.
Ammo - keep your home cache in ziplocks or food-saver bags. I keep my reloaded hunting ammo in bags of 12 and grab-and-run shit in bags of 50. If you reload you need to take an extra step and I'll explain why and then give you a solution.
Every time you punch those primers out you enlarge that primer hole just a bit. What you should do to keep moisture from seeping in and killing the primer is to take some of your sweeties' clear nail polish and carefully apply a very thin coat around the edges of your primer. Do not - I repeat - do not cover your primer with it as this may cause a misfire when your firing pin fails to penetrate the polish and bounces off your primer.
Rotate your home-cache ammo occasionally just to be safe.
Now let's talk about your automatic handgun.
Field strip that motherfucker down at least once a week and clean it. Even if you haven't shot it, at least take it down and inspect it, wipe it down and re-oil it. I carry a Colt Officers' Model in 45 ACP (God Bless John Moses Browning) and my weekly routine is to strip it, wipe it down and lightly oil it. I apply a film of oil and gently wipe it off. Before I reassemble it, I put one drop of oil on each rail on the frame, then I put it back together and cycle the slide a half dozen times. Then I strip the slide off again, wipe the oil off and put 'er back together. I don't want too much fucking oil on my weapon because I live in a dusty climate and oil attracts dust which gums the fuck out of it. One of the main reasons for Colts jamming (in my experience) is lack of lubrication. The friction causes the metal to gall and that causes burrs and slows down the action. Lube your fucking slide, folks. An added benefit is that after thousands of rounds, you'll still have a tight frame-slide mate. Yes, you can wear out an automatic..... Lubrication slows that down.
Okay. Every 500 hundred rounds, strip your auto down as far as you can and inspect every fucking piece of it. Seriously, I take my Colt down completely - trigger assembly included - and check everything, paying particular attention to the firing pin, sear, disconnector and recoil spring plug. And yeah, I use a magnifying glass when I do it. I do not want a cracked firing pin in my lifesaver, nor do I want my plug to give way and cause my springs to go flying downrange.
Thoroughly clean every part. Apply a light film of oil to every thing except the mating surfaces of your sear and disconnector.
This is a labor of love, godammit, and it may save your fucking life. Not only that, but it will make you understand your weapon so much better.
Replace all your springs occasionally. They do fatigue. If you have a Chinese made weapon or magazine, replace the springs immediately. The quality of Chinese steel is outragiously good but their springs fucking suck.
And speaking of springs and magazines, how many of you maintain your weapons but ignore your magazines? An automatic handgun ain't worth a fuck if it fails to feed because of a broken magazine spring that you failed to notice, right?
When you clean your weapon, unload your magazine and disassemble it. Depress your follower, stick a nail through one of the holes in your magazine, shake the follower out being very careful with it, and pull the nail out. Then snatch the spring off of the floor before your dog grabs the motherfucker and runs off with it.
Clean it with solvent, give it a light coat of oil and reassemble it. Inspect your ammo, wipe it off with a clean, dry rag (no oil) and reload it.
Go down and buy a couple of extra magazines. When you change your fire alarm batteries and reset your clocks, change your magazines out. Give the motherfuckers a break and they'll last you a lifetime and you can always depend on them.
Okay. Hope this helps.
Fuck Obama.

Bad to the bone
400 ROUNDS, 17 GRENADES & 30 ENEMIES
Soldier Single-Handedly Beats Back Taliban Barrage.
Last summer, a single Gurkha soldier of the British forces single-handedly beat back a Taliban attack of 30 fighters in Afghanistan with just a chunk of metal and a sandbag after running out of ammunition. Sgt. Pun's extraordinary courage in Helmand province earned him the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross at a special ceremony in London:
Facing a surprise attack at a Afghanistan checkpoint, Sergeant Dipprasad Pun, 31, hoisted a 50lb machine gun off its mount to blast at the enemy.
When they kept coming, he launched 17 grenades and picked up an SA80 assault rifle, which jammed on him.
Then he threw the machine gun's metal tripod at his attackers, before fending them off with a sandbag while yelling in Nepali: "I will kill you!"
With nothing left to hand, the exhausted hero finally managed to fire off a Claymore mine, and the blast sent the enemy scattering.
Pun's medal citation said his actions saved the lives of three comrades and prevented the key military position he was guarding from being overrun.
"I was really scared but as soon as I opened fire that was gone. I knew I had to kill them.
"I thought they were going to kill me after a couple of minutes, definitely. Looking back at it, I realise I'm a very lucky guy, a survivor. It is great to get this award. I am very happy."
The sergeant in the Royal Gurkha Rifles told how he was on night-time sentry duty on September 17 last year when he discovered insurgents laying an improvised explosive device at the checkpoint.
He was surrounded and the enemy opened fire with rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) and AK47s.
As the 20-minute battle raged, Sgt Pun raced onto a wall to remove the .50 cal machine gun from its mount so he could lower it enough to aim at the attackers below.
At one point he turned to find a "huge" militant standing behind him ready to pounce and Sgt Pun fired a final machine gun round at him.
He also fired his SA80 assault rifle, but the weapon failed just as another Taliban crept up on him. He said: "I threw it away and grabbed a sandbag to hit him but all the sand poured away. I had nothing left. Suddenly I found the metal rod and hit him with it.
"I threw it at him yelling in Nepali 'I will kill you' and he fell down. They were very determined. They kept coming and coming. In the end I was nearly collapsed."

I filled up last night before I got home and the price of gas had a chance to go up any more, then when I was running errands today I filled up again to replace the gas I burned last night only to find that it had risen 8 cents overnight.
No shit, it cost me 55 bucks for my tank and a gallon for my chainsaw can. Yup, 55 bucks for 13 and a half gallons at $4.07 a gallon. I have spent 70 bucks on gas in 2 days and that's just for 1 week.
Hey, Obama. Don't you think it's time to open up drilling here before you start talking shit again about lessening our dependency on foreign imports?
Fucking punk.......

Outside a Church in Boston a young boy is weeping, and an old lady approaches him and says, "What's wrong, honey?"
The little boy replies between sobs, "My Grandma passed away this morning."
"I'm so sorry to hear that," says the kind old lady. "Do you want me to call Father O'Riley?"
"No," replies the boy. "Sex is the last thing I have in mind."

And I love you too, Sweetie
Gotta love/lust a woman that tells me that "Mexican sluts love Wrangler butts" every time she sees me.
Can you blame me?
She also has a nice smile and nice tits.
Unfortunately, also a husband.
But still......

My own memorial to Cousin Kenny
Spent the evening fishing for cats and remembering Cousin Kenny down on the Toulumne at his favorite spot or as near as I could get to it considering the floods.
I can't afford to make his memorial service tomorrow down in Louisiana but me and CharlieGodammit held our own and somehow I think he'd understand.
I smoked some of that dope and drank some Granddad in the company of a fine dog and I'd swear I heard his laugh in the rushing of the waters.
Kinda sorta reminded me of times past and wasn't that what it was all about anyways, you outlaw motherfucker?
Lots of memories, more than a few tears and no damned fish.
Bo, I owe you more than I can ever repay.
Fuck the Feds.
Sonofabitch, man......

You're known by the company you keep.......
HONOLULU – One of President Barack Obama's close friends has been arrested in Honolulu on suspicion of soliciting a prostitute.
Robert "Bobby" Titcomb was one of four men arrested in an undercover sting operation late Monday and later released on $500 bail, according to Honolulu police.
Titcomb, 49, attended Punahou School in Honolulu with Obama in the 1970s. The president graduated in 1979, a year before Titcomb. The two often golf, play basketball, go to the beach and dine together when the president returns home to Hawaii for vacation.
Obama's family has also attended barbeques at Titcomb's beachside home in Waialua, located on Oahu's North Shore about an hour outside of downtown Honolulu.
Titcomb and Obama last spent time together in Hawaii during Obama's most recent vacation over the Christmas and New Year's holidays.

High crimes and lowdown criminals
This morning when I was leaving for work am MPD car came flying around the corner barely missing me and considering I can't remember the last time I saw a patrol unit on my street actually patrolling, I went around the block and pulled back into my driveway and watched them sneak into a yard a block up.
So I went into work all worried about CGD because MPD has a nasty habit of trespassing into peoples' yards "while pursuing a suspect" and shooting the dogs that are guarding those yards so they can access them, never mind the fact that if the dogs won't let a fucking cop into the yard they damned sure won't let anybody else in there either.
But I had to go to work, you know?
And then tonight I see this headline:
Officers arrest carjacking suspect after brief chase in Modesto
and I read the story and Holy Fucking Shit, it all went down just up the street from my house!
Then I re-read it again and find out it all happened later in the day, not this morning.
MODESTO -- The Stanislaus County Auto Theft Taskforce on Wednesday arrested a man who is suspected of carjacking a man at gunpoint earlier this week.
Michael Lomauhie, 23, is suspected of using a small caliber handgun to hit the victim and take his Nissan truck, according to Sgt. Aaron Tait.
Task force officers found the vehicle parked near Kimble and Floto Streets on Wednesday afternoon and waited for the suspect to approach the vehicle. He appeared with a female companion, Tait said.
When officers approached, Lomauhie ran but was quickly apprehended in the 100 block of Kimble. He was charged with carjacking, auto theft and resisting arrest.
The woman, Shaylynn Marlton, 31, was arrested on a charge of possession of stolen property. Officers are investigating whether she played a role in the carjacking.
A police dog was called to the scene to search for the weapon but none was located.

Man, what kind of fucking ghetto is my neighborhood turning into?
Thank God for CharlieGodammit, my 12 gauge shorty and my Colt 45......

My redneckin' life.
I gotta tell you, I love the redneck life.
Man, I was seriously into it back in the late 80s, then I got married and had to give it up for a while. Divorced after 16 years and fell back into it and I love it even more now.
I look forward to the day Sonora Pass opens after a long winter more than I ever looked forward to Christmas as a kid.
The day high country trout season opens? That's an automatic sick day for me.
My dining room table has too much gun shit on it to even consider eating there.
I practice coyote calls going down the road.
When I go hunting after a long abstinence, I have to pull off the road early just to burn off a few rounds and get it out of my system before getting to where I'm going to hunt.
Catching bass? Oh, my my, Oh hell yeah.
Catfish? Love catching big cats, love deep frying them, love smoking them. Cats are a gift from God.
BATs? I love catching Big Ass Trout. I will gladly trade a season of catching little trout for one 5+ pounder a year.
Predator hunting is my true love and devotion. I will travel 200 miles one way just to smack a coyote. I'm planning a trip to New Mexico this fall just to burn some ammo in their direction and if I don't get one, oh well.
And you know what I really love? Just getting my ass out of the flatlands and up to my beloved mountains. I don't care if I hunt or fish, I just want to breathe air that ain't been breathed before, sleeping above the treeline, hear the wind moan, smell the lightning striking the granite 50 yards away and wake up in the middle of the night wondering What in the fuck was THAT?????
And I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

My nightly prayer
Dear Lord, you took my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze. You took my favorite actress, Farrah Fawcett. You took my favorite singer, Waylon. You even took my favorite Patriot, Colonel Jeff Cooper.
I just wanted to let you know that my favorite president is Barack Obama.
Amen.

Cousin Kenny
My Cousin Kenny (second cousin, actually) died this past Saturday in Louisiana and I just found out tonight.
Mom and Pops both deny I was named after him but me and Kenny knew better.
You wanna talk about a White Trash motherfucker? Let me give you just a few examples here.
Cousin Kenny joined the Army back in 1961 and deserted in 1962 when he realized he couldn't lay around drunk all day and run hounds all night. His main claim to fame was he escaped from Leavenworth Stockade so may times that the Military finally gave up and offered to pardon him if he would only tell them how he did it.
My earliest memories of him was that he always had a half dozen Plotts under his trailer for running lions with another half dozen Standard Airedales staked out in the back for cornering them lions. Any one of those Airedales would eat my CharlieGodammit for lunch, they were some BAD motherfuckers. He also had a couple dozen fighting cocks that brought in a decent income for him.
He finally married Virginia who brought his ass in line and straightened him up. I think it was because she could whip his skinny ass anytime. She was a stout Cherokee gal that took no shit off anybody. Stout? She was a big girl, so big that her purse gun was a Redhawk 44 magnum with a 2 inch barrel and that motherfucker wouldn't even phase her. But they loved each other and she taught him some respectability.
I could go on and on about Kenny but let me say this:
My family has been hit hard with death these past few months. First it was Moms' baby brother Donald. I didn't shed a tear although I loved him. Then her stepdad, my Grandpa Bud. I didn't shed a tear even though Bud helped raise me up. Them Moms' baby stepbrother Gary who was only 3 years older than me and my best friend when I was growing up. Again, I didn't shed a tear. A man has to be strong for the family right?
But tonight I got a fucking text message about Cousin Kenny....... my legs gave out from under me, and I cried like a fucking baby.
I remember him and Virginia having me over for dinner the time I actually came home on leave from the Army. I remember catfishing with him on the Tuolumne in the summer after I got out, drunk and the skeeters eating us up and us not giving a fuck. Drinking whiskey with him and working on his truck. Him shooting his truck up when it still wouldn't run.
And the last time I saw him - I had stopped in a couple years ago and gave him and Virginia a stringer of cats and sat on his porch and visited and drank sun tea. I remember when I left I hugged Virginia and she left a lipstick kiss on my cheek and Kenny grabbed my hippie hair, bumped foreheads and told me to take care, motherfucker, fuck the feds and watch my ass, Bo.
Cousin Kenny. Straight-Up White Trash, God Bless 'im.

Obama carefully courts black votes with Sharpton
He avoids race, so the story goes. He can't afford to alienate white voters, black people will vote for him again anyway, so he has little to gain by approaching such a volatile subject.
Yet on Wednesday, President Barack Obama is scheduled to make a foray into racial territory by speaking in New York at the Rev. Al Sharpton's national convention — an early step on the tricky path that Obama must navigate in order to engage black voters who are crucial to his re-election.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obama_and_sharpton
My Pops was an Army Officer and racism was not tolerated in his house at all. Any racism that I know now I have learned on my own.
For that, I am grateful. I've known and loved folks of all races (except arab cocksuckers, can't stand 'em) and count a black family as my dearest friends to this day. I've got Mexican friends that I will stand with in a fight any day against anybody and there's more than a few white motherfuckers that I hate more than the IRS.
But ever since Obama took office I have seen some serious racial divisions in this country. Not just white against black but also white against brown because of his refusal to do anything about our security on the southern border.
And now this shit. SHARPTON? That race card playing, race baiting motherfucking sonofabitch? You have got to be kidding me.
Let me tell you what, motherfuckers. If I was as unpopular as Obama and trying to get re-elected, the last person I would have anything to do with is Al Fucking Sharpton.
I seriously hope this comes up to bite Obama in his fucking black ass.
