12/14/24: An apt and excellent analogy, Marlan. If you haven't read Hillbilly Eulogy yet, grab a copy. It is well worth the trouble. And while we're on the "M's" don't forget the head coach of the NFL football team called the "McDolphins."

Really like your theme song choices for Hegseth's confirmation. Not a loser in the bunch. Speaking of losers, Nancy Pelosi "fell" and broke her hip. This comes shortly after it was revealed that she was actively opposing AOC's attempt to become top democrat on the House Oversight Committee. Has anyone checked on AOC's whereabouts on December 13? Any Luxembourg sightings? And finally, Don, if you want to check out the accomodations that diner made for the handicapped cook, you better get there quickly, before OSHA swoops in and makes them remove it for failing to comply with three thousand pages of their regulations governing such things.
Her fall also came a few days after she told her bishop (or was it archbishop?) to pound sand on her continuing to receive communion after to he told her to stop, due to her being in the state of mortal sin. Some divine intervention perhaps?
ITEM 28: Daniel Penny, after being acquitted, said even if he knew what would happen to him, he still would have done what he did on that train or “wouldn’t have been able to live with himself.”
Sounds kinda like the Bible’s Daniel:
“ My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.”
Jimmy Vaughan and his old band, the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Saw him a few months back, but he didn’t do that material. Still a good show.
Justice must prevail and that includes making sure that corrupt government officials are ejected and punished where appropriate. It’s not enough to beat them in an election. These are criminals. Examples must be made at a level that makes a strong impression. Joe Biden is proof that crime does pay. That message needs to be called into question. We aren’t going to eliminate corruption, but as the Israelis say, we need to mow the grass and while we are at it, we need to plow the earth.
Feel good headline: JD Vance invites Daniel Penny to attend Army-Navy game with him and Trump after Marine vet cleared in subway chokehold death. Coincidence that good (Penny) and evil (Luigi) appeared for comparison at the same time? Oct 7 drew a sharp line, and this is the exclamation point. One of the brightest of the dim bulbs may have quoted Adm Yamamoto- I’m afraid we have awakened a sleeping giant. Bout time, America; this is our country-let’s take it back and let the lunatics wander in the wilderness for 100 years.
Just a sample of what their ACA offers:
removal of fallopian tubes and ovaries,
creation of a scrotum
creation of a clitoris
removal of uterus
creation of labia
creation of a penis
removal of testicles
removal of Penis
An old Jewish proverb: If they throw money at you, you’re obligated to catch it-Brian Thompson was too good to die. Luigi was too confused to know the accelerant to healthcare costs was Nan and the lightbringer.
My neighbor fell and broke her femur during the government-mandated shutdown. She was 94, and the first thing I thought was she was done for. The second thing I thought was she's a tough old bird. She had her surgery, then physical therapy, and was back home in a month. She will be 98 next month.
J.D.Vance is the gift that keeps on giving
J.D. is a diamond that was formed under pressure early in life!
Exactly! And Trump was a genius (again) for seeing that.

I have no lie to tell, I love me some MASCULINTY. The soi boys can call it toxic. I call it masculine.
Me too - married to a former Marine 44 years.

For Hegseth's song, I'd go more traditional: "Battle Hymn of the Republic".
Id pay to see that. The (D)emons would melt in their seats.
Right on. Besides, I don't know any of the songs that Don suggested.
THAT gets my vote!!
Item 20: Cat fight - CAT FIGHT!!!!
As far as songs for Hegseth, how about “East Bound & Down”? Trump’s in the role of The Bandit & the Dems are Ol’ Smokey.
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin'
We gonna do what they say can't be done
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there
I'm east bound, just watch ol' Bandit run
Keep your foot hard on the pedal
Son, never mind them brakes
Let it all hang out 'cause we've got a run to make
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta
And there's beer in Texarkana
And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin'
We gonna do what they say can't be done
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there
I'm east bound, just watch ol' Bandit run
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin'
We gonna do what they say can't be done
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there
I'm east bound, just watch ol' Bandit run
Old Smokey's got them ears on
He's hot on your trail
And he ain't gonna rest 'til you're in jail
So you got to dodge him, you got to duck him
You've gotta keep that diesel truckin'
Just put that hammer down and give it hell
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin'
We gonna do what they say can't be done
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there
I'm east bound, just watch ol' Bandit run
East bound and down, gonna shake up Congress
We're gonna do what they think can't be done.
We've got four years to go and a lot to accomplish.
We're East bound now watch the swamp rats run.
I will think more on this and maybe write some jiberish later.
Well done Sir ! ;<)
12/14/24: Alas, "slither" didn't rhyme...
A favorite and hilarious movie!!
I’m still voting for bbbbbbad, bad to the bone & George Thoroughgood!
One shot, one whiskey, one beer
12/14/24: Same here!
Met the Director - Hal Needham. Lovely guy. A conservative thru & thru.
RIP Burt, nothing like Smokey, Also Jackie Gleason....what a movie, I have to watch every time it comes on!!!
Item 11
Poor Vermont will have to find a new bum to make into a multimillionaire in a few years.
The tweet about the Reuben sandwich making girl makes the Christmas season what it is. Just where is that place in West Virginia?
Might have to take a detour next trip up north.
Eastern Panhandle where we keep all our nice things
I lived near Wheeling for 30 years and still get the Wheeling Feeling...WVA a highly underrated state, a well kept secret.
The free-est state on the east coast.
Truly inspirational !!
Item 13- Joe Wilson shouting “You lie!” How DO you remember this stuff? Seriously, I need memory lessons.
Oh man, who could FORGET that one!! It was epic!! 😃
Yes! I sent Joe Wilson $25 next time he ran.
Agree, he's a genius for sure and funny as hell...:-)

“THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: In 2020, Democrats wanted a candidate who was a combination of FDR, JFK and BHO.
They came up with FJB.”
Q. What do you get when you mix a socialist with a liberal and a communist?
A. A corrupt, pathological liar.

Or she was just "Tipsy Nancy" as usual, had one too many at their hoity-toity political cocktail party...
Maybe AOC, the evil bartender, cast a spell on the evil Pelosi
I doubt she can even spell spell let alone cast one. Her super power is making horizontal Harris appear closer to normal.
Ya beat me to it. I was going to say the young witch against the old witch.

Jimmy Vaughn's little brother, Stevie Ray was a great picker as well. He would really shine in Aint That Tuff Enough.
Don't forget the one and only Kal David. RIP
Fabulous Rhinestones? Few people know that band. Loved them!
The Vaughn brothers were great!
That's who I voted for. Good ol' Texas boy.
James Brown's living in America is an upbeat unifying song
ITEM 25: Ukrainian President Voldomyr Zelensky knows when the war ends he’s toast, and the gravy train comes to a screeching halt.
Thus, he does all in his power to keep it grinding his people and Russians to death, and the entire world living on the brink of WWIII.
37 days? Can’t come soon enough. 🙏

Yuck!
Item 18: It was Dick van Dyke's b-day yesterday when he turned 99! (Unfortunately I heard recently that he was also a Kamala supporter.)😡
Item 20: I will LOVE to see Pelosi take down AOC! As long as she keeps killing the DNC 'bench' is FINE with me!!
Item 21: The caliber of the personnel in this ENTIRE administration is a national DISGRACE!! From FJB all the way down!
Item 22: Some GOOD news to report here -- Nativity scene displayed at US Capitol for 1st time in History! https://catholicvote.org/nativity-scene-displayed-at-us-capitol-for-first-time-in-history/
#20. I wonder is Pelosi was traipsing around in her stilettos when she broke her hip. This mishap may slow her takedown of AOC a bit
Ladies falling is usually the beginning of the end. Hard to recover from that at her age. But, her staff will run things for her like they always do.
Same goes for Gentlemen falling at that age. McConnell also apparently took a tumble last week. We really need term limits in Congress. 🙄
A better informed electorate wouldn't hurt either.
Honest elections wouldn't hurt, either. I suspect most of these gas bags would've been voted out decades ago.
My neighbor fell and broke her femur during the government-mandated shutdown. She was 94, and the first thing I thought was she was done for. The second thing I thought was she's a tough old bird. She had her surgery, then physical therapy, and was back home in a month. She will be 98 next month.
My stepmother fell and broke her hip at age 79. There were some other factors, but she only survived for about 10 days.
OMG Plays I'm so sorry. That is very sad.
Yes, it's not good if a geriatric person has to stay in bed for any length of time. Things start shutting down pretty quickly I've heard.
Being a decade and a bit away from that age, I keep telling myself I *have* to get to the gym and get back in shape!
I'll let you know if that ever happens...🤪
That was my very first thought, too--Nancy was in her stilettos.
His video w Coldplay…

That is sweet! Good for him even if he is a Kamala supporter.
#18 When someone reaches that age, I'd lean toward giving them a pass on their politics.
There is no way the U.S. should annex any welfare states like Canada and Mexico...we can't afford them.
Best trade: Kalifornia for Canada. Best gift: NY to Mexico
Buy Baja, build a new Ca. The old old one is ruined.
Excellent point, but besides that, both look like incurable Democrat-voting prospects.
