I will be posting over on Hobo Springs (it’s in the blog roll on the right). Hobo springs is a collective posting area for Waukesha Bloggers. It just got started but hopefully it will take off.
I will still post here because Hobo Springs is family friendly and some of my posts aint.
Man scheduled for release in 2019 on a 20 Year sentance appealed his sentance and got it changed. Unfortunately it got changed to life.
United States soldiers caught on film (multiple sources) clearly commiting war crimes and atrocities. Dear God what have we become? Warning, the link contains graphic images
A post by milwhowie in the open comments thread at badgerblogger got me thinking.
Can any police officers out there explain to me why they ticket kids with loud car sterios but not harly riders with louder pipes?

Subject: Fw: Urine Test
Like a lot of folks in this country, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as they
see fit. In order to get that paycheck some employers require
employees to pass a random urine test, which I have no problem with.
What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to
people who don’t have to pass a urine test. Shouldn’t one have to
pass a urine test to get a welfare check, because I have to pass one to earn it for them?
Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get
back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone
sit on their ass, and buy dope and booze with my hard earned money.
Could you imagine how much money the government would save if
people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?
The YouTube video that has inspired many was craeted by Staff Sgt. Lawrence E. Dean II. His performnce is soul touching but even just the words inspire.
She called…
Blacks, Whites…wait
African Americans and Caucasians, Asians, excuse me.
Vietnamese, Philipenes, Koreans and Jamaicans or
Haitans, waitin’ Hispanics y’all.
Please be paitent
Mexican, Puerto Ricans, Venezualean, Cuban, Dominican, Panamanian Democrats
I beg your pardon, you partied with the late, great Reagan?
Republican, Independent, Christian, Catholic,
Methodist, Baptist, 7th Day Adventist, 5 Percenters,
Hindu, Sunii Muslim, Brothers and Sisters who never seen the New York city
skyline when the twin towers still existed.
But still She called.
From the bowels of Ground Zero she sent this 911 distress signal.
Because She was in desperate need of a hero,
and didn’t have time to decipher what to call ‘em,
so she called ‘em all Her children.
The children of the stars and bars who needed to know nothing more than the fact that she called.
The fact that someone attempted to harm us
this daughter who covered us all with her loving arms.
And now these arms are sprawled across New York City streets.
A smoke filled lung, a silt covered faced,
and a solitary tear poured out of her cheek.
Her singed garments carpets Pennsylvania Avenue and the Pentagon was under her feet.
As she began to talk, she began to cough up small particles of debris
and said, “I am America, and I’m calling on the land of the free.”
So they answered.
All personal differences set to the side
because right now there was no time to decide which state building the Confederate flag should fly over,
and which trimester the embryo is considered alive,
or on our monetary units, and which God we should confide.
You see, someone attempted to choke the voice
of the one who gave us the right for choice,
and now she was callin.
And somebody had to answer.
Who was going to answer?
So they did.
Stern faces and chisled chins.
Devoted women and disciplined men,
who rose from the ashes like a pheonix
and said “don’t worry, we’ll stand in your defense.”
They tightened up their bootlaces
and said goodbye to loved ones, family and friends.
They tried to bombard them with the “hold on”, “wait-a-minute’s”, and “what-if’s”.
And “Daddy, where you goin?”.
And, “Mommy, why you leavin?”.
And they merely kissed them on their foreheads and said “Don’t worry, I have my reasons.
You see, to this country I pledged my allegience
to defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic.
So as long as I’m breathin, I’ll run though hell-fire,
meet the enemy on the front lines,
look him directly in his face,
stare directly in his eyes and scream,
“I AM AMERICA! WE WILL NOT BE TERRORIZED!
WE WILL NOT BE TERRORIZED!
I REFUSE TO BE AFRAID!
I’LL FIGHT YOU ANY COUNTRY, ANY CONTINENT, ANY TERRAIN.
I’LL FIGHT TO MY LAST BREATH!”
And if by chance death is my fate,
pin my medals upon my chest,
and throw Old Glory on my grave.
But, don’t y’all cry for me.
You see, my Father’s prepared a place.
I’ll be a part of his Holy army standing a watch at the Pearly Gates.
Because freedom was never free.
POW’s, and fallen soldiers
all paid the ultimate sacrafice
along side veterans who put themselves in harms way.
Risking their lives and limbs just to hold up democracy’s weight,
but still standing on them broken appendages anytime the National Anthem was played.
You see, these were the brave warriors that gave me the right
to say that I’m Black. Or white.
Or
African American or Caucasian,
I’m Asian, excuse me.
I’m Vietnamese, Philipene, Korean, or Jamaican.
I’m Haitan, Hispanic
Y’all, Please be paitent.
I’m Mexican, Puerto Rican, Venezualean, Cuban,
Dominican, Panamanian, Democrat
I beg your pardon, you see I partied with the late, great Reagan.
I’m Republican, Independent, Christian, Catholic,
Methodist, Baptist, 7th Day Adventist, 5 Percenters,
Hindu, Sunii Muslim,
Brothers and Sisters We’re just Americans.
So with that I say
“Thank You” to the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines,
for preserving my rights
to live and die for this life
and paying the ultimate price for me to be…FREE!
Update: Link per Sancho’s request
The link is here. You folks out there might want to remind your county board that there are real problems in your county that they should be focusing on.
Update: They want to impeach Bush and Cheney. What a bunch of boobs
The Urinal Sentinal has an editorial out blasting the Army Corps of Engineers for not fixing a problem before they study the issue. It seems the Corps did some dredging and as a result the water level in the upper great lakes has been dropping “for seven years in a row”. They even get in a cheap shot about the corps record bringing up the Levees in New Orleans. (ignoring the maintenance failures that actually caused the breach that were NOT a corps responsibility)
Now I admit I am not an expert but the dredging occured in 1962. If it was causing billions of gallons to be lost and they lake levels to drop shouldn’t it have been dropping for 45 years?
Travelocity has been fined 183,000 dollars for doing it. Wonder if Fatso Mikey Moore was on of those.
