Boom!!!!!!

JUST A FEW DAYS AGO ANOTHER SUICIDE BOMBER KILLED 13 AMERICAN TROOPS IN KABUL, AFGHANISTAN.  THIS IS JUST ONE IN A LONG STREAM OF CONTINUING ATTACKS NOT ONLY ON OUR BOYS, BUT ON AFGAN AND IRAQI CIVILIANS.  THESE ATTACKS ARE DIRECTED BY FORCES OUTSIDE THE TERRITORIAL CONFINES OF BOTH IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN WITH THE GOVERNMENTS OF IRAN AND PAKISTAN BEING COMPLICIT IN ALMOST ALL ATTACKS AND OUR "GREAT" LEADERS TURN A BLIND EYE.  I'M NOT JUST POINTING THE FINGER AT THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, BUT AT THE PREVIOUS BUSH ADMINISTRATION.  IN MY LIFETIME I'M SEEN ATTACKS ON AMERICAN TROOPS FROM SELF-IMPOSED SANCTUARIES AROUND THE WORLD GO UNPUNISHED.  IF THIS IS THE WAY WE FIGHT OUR WARS ITS TIME TO LEAVE THE FIELD TO THE ENEMY.  SANCTUARY SHOULD BE A FORBIDDEN TERM WHEN IT COMING TO OUR FIGHTING MEN AND WE SHOULD GO TO WAR ONLY WHEN WE ARE ABLE TO UNSHACKLE THE FULL MIGHT OF THE U.S.  WAR MACHINE.  OUR LEADERS BOTH PAST AND PRESENT ARE COWARDS AND HAVE BEEN FIGHTING HOT WARS, SOMETIME WITH MORE DIPLOMACY THAN BOMBS.  WE ARE NOW REAPING THE WHIRLWIND OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND THE INSANITY OF SANCTUARY ZONES.  UNLESS WE TAKE OUT THOSE FORCES HIDING IN THE "FORBIDDEN" ZONES WE SHOULD EXPECT THE "BOOMS" TO BECOME LOUDER AND PREPARE FOR THE INEVITABLE DEFEAT THAT COMES FROM WEAKNESS IN THE FACE OF THE ENEMY.  WEAKNESS, NOT FROM OUR BRAVE TROOPS ON THE GROUND, BUT FROM THE VERY LEADERS WHO PUT THEM IN HARMS WAY.

Drinking with David Janssen "The Fugitive"

David Janssen 1931-1980

IN THE LATE 1960's-EARLY 1970's I SPENT MY SUMMER MONTHS IN ACAPULCO, MEXICO.  I WAS SINGLE AND TEACHING AMERICAN HISTORY AT LIBERTY HIGH SCHOOL IN AMITE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI.  WAS VERY WILD IN THOSE DAYS AND SPENT AT LEAST TWO MONTHS OF EACH YEAR SOUTH-OF-THE-BORDER, MOSTLY IN  ACAPULCO.  MY FIRST TRIP WAS INSPIRED BY THE OLD ELVIS MOVIE "FUN IN ACAPULCO" WHICH CAME OUT IN 1963 AND WAS FILMED IN ACAPULCO AROUND THE OLD "ACAPULCO HILTON".  I KNEW WHEN I FIRST SAW THE FILM THAT ONE DAY I WOULD SWIM IN THAT HILTON POOL WHERE ELVIS WAS.  THUS, MY FIRST TRIP TO THAT CITY IN 1966. SEVERAL YEARS LATER ON ONE OF WHAT WOULD BECOME AN ANNUAL PILGRIMAGE I MET THREE CANADIANS GUYS FROM TORONTO. WE BECAME GOOD FRIENDS AND PLANNED OUR FUTURE TRIPS TO THAT GREAT TOWN. 

TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, AND IT IS A LONG STORY, ON ONE TRIP WE HAD BEEN SEEING SOME STEWARDESSES WHO WORKED FOR QANTAS AIRLINES.  THEY WOULD OFTEN FLY DOWN FROM SAN FRANCISCO ON THE WEEKEND AND SPEND A FEW DAYS WITH US AT OUR "A"FRAME CABIN ACROSS FROM THE BEACH.  ON A TRIP TO THE AIRPORT TO PICK THE GIRLS UP DAVID, JOHN, EUGENE (MY CANADIAN FRIENDS, AND I WERE SITTING IN THE AIRPORT LOUNGE WAITING FOR THEIR FLIGHT TO COME IN.  I LOOKED AT A SOLITARY MAN SITTING AT THE BAR AND TOLD MY FRIENDS THAT WAS DAVID JANSSEN--THEY DIDN'T THINK SO.  I GOT UP AND WALKED OVER TO THE MAN AND POLITELY ASKED HIM IF HE WAS "DAVID JANSSEN" AND TO MY SURPRISE HE SAID YES, AND INVITED ME TO SIT AND HAVE A DRINK.  WE HAVE SEVERAL OVER ABOUT A 30 MINUTE PERIOD AND THEN PARTED COMPANY.  YES, I DRANK WITH DAVID JANSSEN.  NEXT WEEK WE WERE BACK AT THE AIRPORT SEEING THE GIRLS OFF AND MUCH TO MY SURPRISE TONY CURTIS AND DAVID WERE AT THE BAR. I APPROACHED THE TWO, DAVID REMEMBERED ME, BUT OTHER THAN INTRODUCING ME TO TONY GAVE ME LITTLE TIME. ON OUR RETURN TRIP TO TOWN FROM THE AIRPORT WE STOPPED AT THE PEMEX STATION TO GAS UP AND SAW DAVID AND TONY WITH TWO VERY YOUNG MEXICAN GIRLS GASSING UP THEIR VAN---I KNEW THEN WHY HE DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR ME AT THE AIRPORT LOUNGE!!! 

STRANGELY OF ALL THE EVENTS ON THE TRIP, INCLUDING THE MANY NIGHTS AT THE "ZONA ROJO" MEETING DAVID JANSSEN AND HAVING THOSE DRINKS WITH "THE FUGITIVE" IS THE ONE THAT STANDS OUT.

For those who are not old enough to remember "The Fugitive" TV series was the most popular of its day from 1963-'67.  The 1993 movie "The Fugitive" with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones was based entirely on that series from the 1960's.  And in case you may be wondering how a lowly teacher could afford those months in Mexico---the "A-frame" on the beach rented for $300 a month--split 4 ways came out for less than $3 a day for the 4 of us.  Beer was less than 50 centavos when the rate of exchange was 12.5 pecos to a dollar, that comes out to about $.04 cent per beer when purchased at the "Super-Super" their big super market.  And as for the cost of certain unnamed products in the "zona roja" (the red light district) I'll leave that to your imagination! And we always avoided the "tourista" traps, but occasionally did stumble into that dreaded "TOURISTA" better known as "Montezuma's revenge" or to you who are uninformed "diarrhea"!

Imperialist Pigs, No Cheering Crowds

Cartoon by Nate Beeler

IF ANY OF YOU THINK THOSE CAMEL JOCKEYS IN THE NEAR EAST AND MIDDLE EAST LOVE US OR EVEN LIKE US JUST A LITTLE YOU'RE AS DUMB AS THE MOUSE WHO TRIED TO RIDE ON THE CATS BACK. THIS IS WHAT WE'LL GET THE DAY WE EXIT IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.  WHAT A WASTE OF MEN, TIME AND TREASURE!  THE CHEERING CROWDS THAT GREETED US WHEN WILL KICKED OUT SADDAM HUSSEIN WILL BE CHEERING OUT EXIT.  WE DID THE DIRTY WORK AND NOW THEY ARE READY TO BRUSH US ASIDE AND GET ON WITH THEIR ISLAMIC FANATICISM---THAT'S THE LATEST FADE SWEEPING THE MIDDLE EAST, ITS THE ARAB SPRING---DEMOCRACY MY ASS!  NEXT TIME WE SHOULD JUST NUKE THE BASTARDS AND BE DONE WITH THEM.  NATION BUILDING ON CAMEL DUNG IS NOT POSSIBLE.
Just a historical footnote: It was the American progressive movement that cheered on the Russian Revolution, it was the American progressive movement that cheered on the the grand Fascist movement in Italy under Benito Mussolini and finally the same bunch cheered the rise of National Socialism in Germany under Adolf Hitler until he turned his guns on their bevoved communist Russia. And now the same folks are cheering on the forces of the Arab Spring, ha!

Border Moat

This is a story long overdue. Dateline Austin, Texas, January 22, 2012: ground was broke today on a new border security project. This will entail digging a 2100 mile long trench 17 feet deep and 500 feet wide from Brownsville, Texas to San Diego, Ca. The dirt from the massive trench will be trucked to New Orleans and used to raise the hundreds of miles of levees surrounding that city, which sets below sea level. Additionally, once the trench is filled with water as estimated 250,000 alligators will be relocated from Florida (where they have become a nuisance) to the 2,100 mile long moat. This massive project which will solve the border problem, the Florida alligator problem, and the levee problem of New Orleans is the brain child of a young 12 year old girl from the small town of Hot Coffee, Mississippi. President Herman Cain is awarding the young girl "The Presidential Medal of Freedom", the nations highest civilian honor, at a special White House ceremony this coming Monday. The ceremony will be attended by former presidents Bill Clinton, H.W. Bush, and G.W. Bush. Vice President Marco Rubio will also attend the event. Former president Barack H. Obama is currently vacationing in Kenya and will not attend.  He had no comment when asked about the moat.

Fences and the Liberal Elite

MINUTEMAN FENCE ON MEXICAN BORDER

THIS FENCE WAS CONSTRUCTED BY THE MINUTEMEN SOME YEARS AGO IN ARIZONA TO HELP KEEP ILLEGALS IMMIGRANTS OUT OF THIS COUNTRY.  THE HOLLYWOOD ELITE OPPOSE IT AND ALL SUCH FENCES AND BARRIERS ALONG THE SOUTHWEST BORDER OF THIS COUNTRY.

WEST BANK FENCE IN ISRAEL

THIS FENCE SITS ON THE WEST BANK IN WHAT WAS JORDAN, BEFORE THE SIX-DAY WAR AND WAS TAKEN BY ISRAEL AFTER JORDAN JOINED WITH EGYPT AND SYRIA IN THE WAR EFFORT AGAINST ISRAEL.  THE FENCE WAS BUILT TO KEEP OUT SUICIDE BOMBERS WHO WERE KILLING HUNDREDS OF ISRAELI WOMEN AND CHILDREN.  THE HOLLYWOOD ELITE OPPOSE THIS FENCE.

HOLLYWOOD FENCE

AND FINALLY WE HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL FENCE CONSTRUCTED BY THOSE WHO HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS AND SIT SAFELY BEHIND THIS ORNATE  IRON AND STONE BARRIER.  A BARRIER NOT JUST TO PROTECT PRIVACY, BUT TO KEEP OUT THE INSANITY THEY HAVE TRIED TO IMPOSE ON THE REST OF THE WORLD.  YES, THIS IS THE FENCE OF THE HOLLYWOOD ELITE.  A FENCE THEY WOULD NOT ALLOW YOU TO CROSS.
