Give me tuna fish or give me nothing at
all.
Give me tuna fish or give me nothing at
all.
Don’t try to give me that fresh smoked
salmon,
I can’t be bothered when my band is jamming.
Don’t try to hand me that halibit,
One whiff of that and I’ll have a fit.
Give me tuna fish or give me nothing at
all.
Give me tuna fish or give me nothing at

Thank You. I'll be here all week.....
Monday's Pun(s) !!!
I used to do balance and rotations at an auto shop.
I felt like I was just spinning my wheels and decided to retire.
Do birds know where they're going when they fly
south for the winter or do they just wing it every time?

I Couldn't Have.... ....Said It Better.
Perusing a new to me Blog, My Daily Kona and ran across this musing.....
Now to make some intemperate thoughts....I heard yesterday that the CDC released the results of a survey that had sampled millions of people and apparently 3% of the American population self identifies as "Gay,Lesbian, Bi-gender, Transgender". And the rabid gay lobby is beside themselves in fury" How dare they use the same sampling that before was ok by them if it supported their agenda now work against them." So basically the entire PC movement and outrage that you hear in the media is caused by 3% of the population....Talk about the minority controlling the narrative. We have 3% of the population that is driving social discourse and the manufactured outrage that spills over into twitter, Facebook, and other social media. SO basically we have 3% of the population that wanted "tolerance" from everybody else when they got started, now they have control of the narrative, they squelch any dissenting opinions of their beliefs...
I have a phrase on my blog that is from Charlton Heston " Political correctness is tyranny with manners..."Basically they use the innate social goal of everybody being nice and using it to squash any opinions that they don't like and want you to feel bad if you say something intolerant. So it is like before we had "free Speech" now it is "free Speech" if they agree with it. And if you have an opinion that is different, you keep it to your self. That is what the people in communist bloc or places where tyranny is the rule of law people do to stay under the radar to avoid the attention of the state security forces or groups that openly support the agenda of the state.
Reminds of the Federalist Papers #10 and its discussion about factions. It was published in Novemebr of 1787. How prescient.....

They're happy in Italy.
They're happy in Germany.

They're happy in every country that is not Muslim.
And who do they blame?

In A Perfect World...
Here’s a transcript of Netanyahu’s remarks
yesterday: “As I’ve said many times, the United States has a right to defend
itself against terrorist attacks from Al Qaeda. And as a result of its war in
Afghanistan, and drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen, the United States has
already done significant damage to Al Qaeda’s infrastructure. I’ve also said,
however, that we have serious concerns about the rising number civilian deaths
from drone strikes and the potential loss of American lives from terrorism. And
that is why it now has to be our focus and the focus of the international
community to bring about a cease-fire that ends the fighting and that can stop
the deaths of innocent civilians.”
Stick that in yur Peace Prize and smoke it....
Ohh, Pulllease....
TEL AVIV, Israel (CBS News/CBSDC/AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry defied a Federal Aviation Administration ban and flew into Israel’s main airport Wednesday in a sign of sheer will to achieve a cease-fire agreement in the warring Gaza Strip despite little evidence of progress in ongoing negotiations...
"defied?" Fer Gawdsakes stop with the bullshit. The ban was put in place to punish Israel. Nothing more, nothing less. Three planes have been shot down over the Ukraine yet the airlines still fly....get it?
File Under: What a Crock.

Chappaquidick?
Several have messaged aboot the whole Chappaquidick affair and why I hold it against the fabled Lion of the Senate. They are to young to have any real recollection of the antics of that night. Quite simply, Ted Kennedy committed a heinous crime, possibly murder, and walked away. His entire existence was to operate at the level of pond scum while cloaking himself in his dead brothers legacy.
I was going to pen a paragraph or two on the Chappaquicdick incident. This guy beat me to it....via twitter. This is epic.
For many years, people hear mention of 'Chappaquiddick' & 'Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment'.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Beyond some snark & vague rumors that Senator Ted Kennedy 'killed a girl' most people know almost nothing about this event on July 18, 1969.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Some roll eyes at the Chappaquiddick references, but here's the thing. It's a fact that Ted Kennedy left a woman to die in a submerged car.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
On the night of July 18, 1969 a party was held on Chappaquiddick Island in which campaign volunteers called 'Boiler Room Girls' mingled.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
These volunteers had worked on Robert Kennedy's campaign in 1968, so the party was a reunion. 1 of the 'Boiler Room Girls' was Kopechne.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Kennedy, a married man, and Kopechne left the party together at around 11:15 pm. Their whereabouts for the next hour are unknown.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
About 12:45 that night, a local police officer parked in his car sees a dark car turn into a cemetery road and stop. He figures it's lost.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
The police officer gets out of his own car & approaches, calling out. The dark car immediately speeds off at a high rate of speed.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Very drunk & in a car with a young woman who is not his wife, & with a suspended license, Kennedy doesn't want to get stopped by a cop.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Kennedy is not familiar with Chappaquiddick's roads. The thinks he's on the road to the ferry now, but he's not. He's on Dike Road.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
In the dark,and likely checking his rearview to ensure the cop is not following, Kennedy does not see the road turn & the bridge coming.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Dike Road Bridge is a wooden bridge with no guardrail. Kennedy drives right off of the road. The car flips in the air.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Kennedy's Oldsmobile Delmont '88 lands on it's roof in about 6 feet of water. Kennedy immediately manages to exit the submerged car.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
For the next 9+ hours, of all that followed & did or did not happen, 1 fact is indisputable: Kennedy did not report the accident.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Kennedy leaves the scene of the accident, walking back to the cottage where the party was being held that he had left an hr & 1/2 before.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
On his journey back to the cottage, Kennedy passes several houses with lights on. He makes no attempt to call for help.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Getting in a car, the 3 men return to accident scene, and make several attempts to reach Kopechne. They can't get to her.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Both men tell Kennedy it's time to report the accident, get professional help in case she's still alive. Kennedy refuses.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Instead, Kennedy begins working on an alibi, insisting he's going to tell authorities that Mary Jo was driving the car.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
The other two men continue to insist the accident must be reported. Kennedy then yells out he'll report it himself, they are not to.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Kennedy then jumps into the water and swims the 300 foot channel back to Edgartown where his hotel room is.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
That's 1 way to end a conversation that's going badly, I guess.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Dripping wet, Kennedy arrives back at this hotel room, changes his clothes, stands outside where he will be seen.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Kennedy makes it a point at 2:30 am to ask a passing hotel employee what time it is. He's establishing his alibi.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
His story was now going to be that he wasn't in the accident at all, Mary Jo dropped him off at his hotel & left in the car on her own.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
As if that wasn't enough of an alibi, Kennedy makes it a point to find the hotel owner at 2:55 am & complain a 'noisy party' woke him up.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Kennedy then goes to breakfast with friends.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
At 8:00 am Gargan & Markham arrive at the hotel to discover Kennedy chatting with friends, just having finished breakfast. Gargan is furious—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
He pulls Kennedy aside and lets him have it verbally. He knows Kennedy didn't report the accident like he claimed he would.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Kennedy responds by saying he was sure Mary Jo was still alive. He 'felt' this as he swam across the channel.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Again, Markham & Gargan gang up on Kennedy, insisting the accident must be reported. NOW. Kennedy finally agrees, or appears to.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
They take the ferry back to Chappaquiddick & Kennedy gets inside a phone booth, ostensibly to report the accident at last.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
But instead Kennedy, in the privacy of the phone booth, is calling friends and asking for advice. He still hasn't reported it.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Meanwhile, earlier that morning, as Kennedy was eating breakfast with his friends at the hotel, 2 fishermen spotted the car in the pond.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Here's a picture of the car in the pond off of Dike Road bridge: http://t.co/QXqLs6Z2Cq—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
The two fishermen immediately report the accident, something Kennedy could have done hours ago.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
At 8:45 am, professional diver John Farrar, who had been summoned, discovers Mary Jo's body in the car.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Kennedy is still on the phone at the ferry landing furiously calling friends for advice when he's told the body has been found.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Senator Ted Kennedy then leaves the ferry landing & heads for the Edgartown police station to turn himself in.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
He has Markham prepare a statement for him which he gives to the police. In it, he claims to have been dazed all night & not remember much.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
In that statement to police, Kennedy tells several huge lies. He claims he was in shock, walked back to the party, was taken to the hotel.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
He then fell asleep and did not remember anything until he woke up in the morning and heard about the accident.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
He made no mention of agreeing to report the accident, swimming the channel, trying to establish an alibi, etc.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Kennedy is then released on his own recognizance. He gets on the ferry, crossing paths with the Medical Examiner coming to see Mary Jo.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
7 days later, Kennedy is charged only with leaving the scene of an accident. He's given a 2 month suspended sentence.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
At the press conference he did following the accident, Kennedy showed up in a neck brace, pretending to be injured. http://t.co/6YDX2nK6if—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Diver John Farrar, who found Kopechne's body in the car, ascertained she was alive for hours afterwards.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Farrar ascertained that Kopechne did not die from the vehicle crash, or from drowning, but instead from suffocation when the air ran out.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Farrar testified that he believed Kopechne was alive for at least 2 hours inside the submerged car.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
The positioning of Mary Jo Kopechne's body when diver John Farrar discovered her: http://t.co/kNAoZ6lyRY—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
People who assume Kopechne died instantly have never answered the testimony of diver John Farrar: http://t.co/u7ExH4t7na—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
With all the facts in evidence, a charge of manslaughter would have been de rigueur for 99% of Americans. But this was a Kennedy.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
If 99% of Americans had gotten drunk, caused an accident, left the scene & another person to die, they'd go to prison.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Fortunately for Ted Kennedy, he was Ted Kennedy.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
The judge at the inquest could have filed for manslaughter but did not. The DA could have brought the charge, but also did not.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
In his later years, Ted Kennedy loved to hear Chappaquiddick jokes.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Now you know the story of Chappaquiddick. A sitting US Senator killed somebody & walked away scot free.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
This miscarriage of justice wasn't done behind a curtain either, it was done with the entire country watching.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
There is no better stark example of what Liberals/Progressives really want: 1 system for you and a different one for them.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
We're either a nation of laws where we are all equal under the law, or we are not. Chappaquiddick demonstrated the truth of the matter.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
I had to spend 20 years watching Ted Kennedy being held up as some kind of great man.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
Democrats were able to do this because the truth about Chappaquiddick was quickly buried & most media never reported on it.—
Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) July 18, 2014
As long as you are helping advance Liberal/Progressive causes, literally any sin can be overlooked. Including leaving a woman to die.—
