Another Shoe Drops...  

Yannow that person that stops by your parents house and checks on em.  Helps them out...yeah that one. You pay him/her a few sheckles to keep tabs on the parents.  Well in several states, (Michigan, Illinois) laws allowed the Unions declare them to be "Health Care Workers" and forced them to join the Union. Pushback in the form of a lawsuit ensued and.......

BOOM!

Court: Public union can't make nonmembers pay fees

The Supreme Court dealt a blow to public sector unions Monday, ruling that thousands of home health care workers in Illinois cannot be required to pay fees that help cover a union's costs of collective bargaining.

The howl of the Libtards grows! 




Finally... 

...Some adults have entered the room. (or John Roberts sobered up)

In a close 5-4 decision Monday, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby, ruling that corporations cannot be forced to provide contraception coverage for their employees.

Stand by for the plaintive wail of the Libtards....



Monday's Pun(s) !!! 



My blind date's not looking good.

I'm reading a book about mazes, I got lost in it.

The rich squirrels stayed in the The Nutcracker Suite.

The Blogfadduh... 


The Acidman.

I first wrote about Rob in a post from 2007:

It was a year ago today that I learned of the passing of Rob Smith aka “Acidman”. I began reading his blog “Gut Rumbles” three years prior. Rob was a great writer that was able to skewer his points home with a flare that was all his own. Some say he was gruff and crude. To me he was a diamond, in the rough. A “Tall Dog” indeed. I posted a few comments on his blog and we exchanged an e-mail or two.

Not without his problems, Rob went in to Willingway Hospital to slay some of his demons. Before he went in, Rob invited his readers to send written correspondence to give him something to do. He guaranteed he would write back. I sent him a brief missive wishing him the best with the treatment. True to his word, he wrote back. Several more letters followed where we exchanged thoughts and views.

Out of Willingway he went back to blogging. Over the months we continued to exchange an e-mail or two. He always encouraged The Rumbear to start a blog. Just write for yourself, he would say. I always deferred a firm response.

Over the weeks and days the Acidman's writing style was returning. He was getting back in stride. Then he died…June 26, 2006. The news hit hard.

When this blog was launched several months later, the words of the Acidman were ringing in my ears. Thanks Rob, rest in peace my friend..... R.I.P.
 


I am still wiggling old friend. But every once in a while I pause, and think about ya.  By God he stomped on the terra. Miss ya buddy.

Memories, they can't be bought and
They can't be won in carnivals for free
It took me years, to get these souvenirs
And I don't know how they slipped away from me...

"Souvenirs," by John Prine & Steve Goodman


For Your Edification.... 

DEMOCRATICYou have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. Barbara Streisand sings for you.

REPUBLICANYou have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You show your neighbor how he too can have a cow and offer to help him take care of it. Your neighbor demands "free" milk.


SOCIALIST
You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. The government forms a cooperative to tell you both how to manage your cows.

COMMUNIST
You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk. You wait in line for hours to get it.It is expensive and sour.

CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE
You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.

BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE You have two cows. Under the new farm program the government pays you to shoot one, milk the other, and then pours the milk down the drain.

AMERICAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.You sell one, lease it back to yourself and do an IPO on the 2nd one. You force the two cows to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when one cow drops dead. You spin an announcement to the analysts stating you have downsized and are reducing expenses. Your stock goes up.

FRENCH CORPORATION You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.You go to lunch and drink wine.Life is good.

JAPANESE CORPORATION You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk.They learn to travel on unbelievably crowded trains. Most are at the top of their class at cow school.

GERMAN CORPORATION
You have two cows. You engineer them so they are all blond, drink lots of beer, give excellent quality milk, and run a hundred miles an hour. Unfortunately they also demand 13 weeks of vacation per year.

ITALIAN CORPORATION You have two cows but you don't know where they are. While ambling around, you see a beautiful woman. You break for lunch. Life is good.

RUSSIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You have some vodka. You count them and learn you have five cows. You have some more vodka. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. The Mafia shows up and takes over however many cows you really have.

TALIBAN CORPORATION You have all the cows in Afghanistan, which are two. You don't milk them because you cannot touch any creature's private parts. You get a $40 million grant from the US government to find alternatives to milk production
but use the money to buy weapons.

IRAQI CORPORATION You have two cows. They go into hiding. They send radio tapes of their mooing.

POLISH CORPORATION You have two bulls. Employees are regularly maimed and killed attempting to milk them.

BELGIAN CORPORATION You have one cow. The cow is schizophrenic. Sometimes the cow thinks he's French, other times he's Flemish. The Flemish cow won't share with the French cow. The French cow wants control of the Flemish cow's milk. The cow asks permission to be cut in half. The cow dies happy.

FLORIDA CORPORATION
You have a black cow and a brown cow. Everyone votes for the best looking one. Some of the people who actually like the brown one best accidentally vote for the black one. Some people vote for both.Some people vote for neither. Some people can't figure out how to vote at all. Finally, a bunch of guys from out-of-state tell you which one you think is the best-looking cow.

CALIFORNIA CORPORATION
You have millions of cows. They make real California cheese. Only five speak English. Most are illegals. Jerry Brown likes the ones with the big udders. He taxes the five that speak English.

Is there anything they can't do?!!

Gunsmoke! 


Stopped by the Gunsmoke shop when I was in Denver this week. Rich Wyatt was in da house.  I had a nice visit with him and grabbed a foto or two. Great guy, very engaging. Spent 20 minutes chatting about legal stuff. Good times.




No  G O A L!!! 

Lemme get this straight....USA loses the game and advances to the next round?!

This "sport" is a libtards dream......






Brilliant! 

Washington DC delegate, Eleanor Holmes Norton attends the demonstration of a cutting edge, proto type, technology laden, driver less automobile. She gets in the car and......pushes the BIG RED emergency button.

She killed the car.

The engineers could not reboot it.

and....the whole thing is on film.

These are our leaders.  This is why we cannot have nice things.....

The sledder who got injured realized that his wounds were more than he tobogganed for.

My computer's mouse wouldn't work. Then it clicked.

Big Finish!!! 

Indeed, big finish to the week....

Took a little business trip and picked up some grunge...lumpuckeroo of the blowhole, as me dear mother used to opine.  Infection in my foot, exacerbated over a 24 hour period, led to a Friday afternoon with Doctor 92106.  Prognosis is good, after consuming copious amounts of drugs.  I think it was Chris LeDoux that said I'm much to young to feel this damn olde.....

Better living through chemistry....

Next adventure begins in 3 - 2 - ........

Sweep?

Go Kings GO!!!!!


Arrested for Shooting The Moon?


PRESCOTT, AZ - A man was arrested by Prescott Valley police after he shot his handgun in a residence and claimed he was shooting at the moon.

Maybe I read that wrong.....






Top Gun!

I thought it was a great movie for it's time. A glimpse into the Sierra Hotel world of flyboys.  As usual Hollywood took some liberties with the truth.  This video skewers a few of those issues.**

** rough language alert for those readers with sensitive ears....

Down Goes Frazier! 

Down. Goes. Frazier.

News is made when the Tall Dogs are taken down. 

Last nite Eric Cantor, the House Majority Leader was taken down by an unknown Tea Party supported candidate named David Brat.  The RINO's in the GOP are beside themselves. They have been trumpeting the demise of the Tea Party for the past few months. RINO Mitch McConnel has openly mocked his fellow GOPer's. 

Amnesty was a key issue in the Cantor-Brat contest. Brat is a proponent of closing the borders. Cantor has repeatedly straddled the fence on the issue playing the nuance position of being against it while supporting "reform"....whatever that means.  Last night the voters of Virginia decided that they knew what it meant and had heard enough. 

They took down a RINO.....

Yup......



KINGS Up 3-Zip! 

Stanley Cup Finals game #3 from the MSG (Monosodium glutamate arena) saw the LA Kings thump the hapless Rangers 3-0.  Kings goalie J. Quick chalks up a shut out. 

Time to look for my broom because a sweep is a definite possibility.  Next game is Wednesday and Lord Stanley's chalice will be in da house!

GO KINGS GO!!!
GO KINGS GO!!!
GO KINGS GO!!!
GO KINGS GO!!!
