The Beginning....

The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.

Trump is Truly a DICK!!!!! When Dick is Defined they Need to Put "Trump" in with the Definition.

It's also an insulting thing to call someone you don't like, especially a boy or man. Much like ass, this word for a below-the-belt body part is very commonly used as an insult meaning pretty much "jerk" or "idiot."

It is also used as a pejorative term for individuals who are considered to be rude, abrasive, inconsiderate, or otherwise contemptible. In this context, it can be used interchangeably with jerk, and can also be used as a verb to describe rude or deceitful actions.

a mean, stupid, or annoying man





He also said he understood the predicament facing hundreds of thousands of federal workers who are not receiving their paychecks.
"I can relate, and I'm sure the people who are on the receiving end will make adjustments; they always do," Trump said. He claimed that "many of those people agree with what I'm doing" on refusing to reopen the government without obtaining funding for his long-promised border wall.
She also blasted Trump for suggesting that he may unilaterally move to build the border wall. "The impression you get from the president (is) that he would like to not only close government, build a wall, but also abolish Congress so the only voice that mattered was his own," Pelosi told Jane Pauley in the interview, which aired on CBS News' "Sunday Morning."
Watch the video. Remember all of his promises. We're all going to have the best health care and it's going to be cheap. Yes, he promised to do that his first day in office.

Trump can't relate to much of anything. He's a guy who was born on home plate and keeps bragging that he hit a home run!!!!!!

Books and Boobs!!! Thanks to Lawrence Block, Sort of....


OK, folks. So how did I find The Outdoor Co-ed Topless Pulp Fiction Appreciation Society?       

See the book the young lady is reading? The young lady to
the right? Well, that's a book by Lawrence Block a favorite author of mine. Anyway, the book had just been released and I did a search for reviews and happened across these ladies. And, no, I didn't buy the book. It seems that in New York City ladies are allowed to roam around topless. Hmm, not sure about New York state.

Yes, men were once arrested for showing their nipples.

How to Stop the Government Shut Down? Simple!



Yes, it's simple. At the top of the shutdown is Trump's Secret Service protection. Next, all White House food service is stopped (and, Trump can't call out for KFC). And, of course, all travel. And, folks, that would do it. Won't waste more time on this.

I Wanted to Clear my Mental Palate, if You Will, of TRUMP!!!!



My recent posts have been about Trump. Dang, I need some kind of exorcism to cleanse myself. Yes, I wanted to find a pleasant, humorous, and delightful movie to distract and amuse myself. And, Support Your Local Sheriff was perfect. You folks need to watch this. Presently, it's free with Amazon Prime.

Our President Seems to be a Malignant Cancerous Tumor. What Should We Do?


I ask that we all read this article, The People vs Donald J. Trump by David Leonhardt. Yes, especially those of you who have your red MAGA hats stapled to your skulls. Should we impeach him? Wow, I surely am not savvy enough to have a well-thought-out position. That said, anyone with an IQ above room temperature knows he is completely unfit to be our president. He is doing great harm to our nation in so many ways. He is a crook and a grifter with no sense of ethics or morals and surely does not govern with the people's best interests in mind. It would seem he is to the point where no decent, knowledgeable, and self-respecting person would ever work for him. Oh, well. Yes, I'm just whislin' Dixie. It is a disgrace to have him and his wretched family in our White House.

Is there a downside to replacing Trump? Hmm, well, Pence is a religious whackjob, period. He'd most likely try to replace the Constitution with the darn so-called Holy Bible.


EDIT: Speaking of Trump's wall. I often disagree with Bill Maher but his take on Trump's wall I do agree.


Introducing Dara O'Briain. I'm Sure You Folks Will Enjoy Him.

BTW,  he attended University College, Dublin (UCD), where he studied mathematics, chemistry, and theoretical physics. This video is also for our New Age folks.

Introducing the Axis of Awesome....

I posted an Axis of Awesome video a few posts ago. And, included it here along with a few others. Some folks may say these guys are crude and vulgar...and, hey, what can I say? But, I think most will agree that they are talented and creative, at a minimum. Hope you enjoy these.

Ahh, a Special New Year's Gift for all of You New Age Whack Jobs. Yes, Just for You.

Have I already posted this? That said, a fresh look never hurts. Enjoy!!!!!



Well, there was another for our New Age pals, but I couldn't find it. The following is a sampling of Mitchell and Webb. Hope you enjoy them.

EDIT: Found the other one for our New Age pals.








A Clear and Present Danger to the Security of the United States....

Hi, have you folks seen the movie? Presently, it's free with Amazon Prime. I like the way it starts...there's a Coast Guard cutter crashing through the waves. Anyway, the President (in the movie) declares the drug cartels are a clear and present danger to the security of the United States. Ahh, where am I going?

OK. There's a special unit that no one has ever heard of. Yes, the unit would be ranked above even SEAL Team Six. And, I surely can't tell you how I know about them. Anyway, when there is a clear and present danger to the security of the United States, the unit acts...and, they act with no oversight.

Their latest mission required them to breach the White House. They exchanged Trump's phone with a Fisher-Price kids' phone. And, we've heard from Trump many times

bragging about his BIG RED button. Yep, the one that launches the missiles. They rewired the button. Now, if Trump hits the button 25 buckets of KFC chicken are rushed to him.

Rest well, citizens. Things are sort of OK! At least for the moment.

And, the unit is standing by and continue to monitor the situation (Well, monitor Trump).

EDIT: Forgot to mention. They found over 6,000 red hats that they removed and burned.

Do You Have Something to Say and No Place to Say It?

Are there things that tick you off?

Things that make no sense to you?

Things that you think should be changed?

Things you disagree with?

Well, you get the idea. Blogs are free and pretty darn easy to get going. Do a search and pick a blog and (maybe) get your voice heard. At least you can hassle your friends and relatives to take a look.

Or, be a guest contributor here on my blog. Just send me a note (george238c@juno.com) and tell me what you want to say or what you want to bitch about.

Working on my Resolutions for 2019. DANG, 2019!!! Amazing, and I'm Quite a Few Years Past My Use-By Date!!!!

OK, I'll start with a re-post from last year. Please watch the video.

Hi Folks,

Yes, I'm still working on my New Year's Resolutions. Actually, I basically have them finished I just don't feel like writing them out. Plan to do that soon. Honest!

That said, this video is only a few minutes long. Please watch it.


Thanks.

Yes, resolutions from an atheist. He talks about reason and critical thinking. Whether you are a believer or not, please watch this as it applies to far more than religion.

It's December 31, 2018...Happy New Year's Eve and Happy New Year 2019!!!!!!!!

Not sure exactly how this idea started. But, anyway, here's some music that I like. Yes, there are some ukulele songs. I have a bunch of ukuleles and can't play worth a darn, though a resolution may be to try again.

I also have two Strumsticks. Remember, excess is the spice of life. Strumsticks have three strings.

Where was I? Let's see, when Baby Jesus calls us home, how will you be remembered and known? By the friends you kept, your philosophy of life, your charitable giving, volunteer work, how many brewskis you could down in an evening, number of cars you've wrecked, number of babes who dumped you, the books you read...and, how about the music you listened to?

Oh, well. That said, here's some of the music I like.

Actually, I think my blog is starting to remind me of some kid's Facebook page. Next, I'll be posting my grocery shopping list. Oh, well.

For you New Age Folks, please watch the Tim Minchin video.
