OKAY. I've been off the rails for a long time. I'm back, and crankier than ever.
I am SO disgusted with the freaking direction of our country I can barely contain myself.
POINT 1:
Barack Obama is an IDIOT that seems to feel that "American Exceptionalism" is something to be embarrassed about, or apologized for.
To me,WRONG!
The guy has made some good decisions, ie: Osama Bin Laden, continued pursuit of the "BAD GUYS" in the Middle East, etc.
Domestically, it's been a pigfu@k. Cass Sunstein is using regulatory control to take control from congress.
If you've ever tried to start your own business locally, you can only imagine what major corporations are dealing with.
Here we go - Boeing is getting reamed by the NLRB for trying to establish a new plant in South Carolina, read here:
http://www.newsmax.com/Reagan/boeing-nlrb/2011/05/11/id/395932
POINT 2:
The media, in general, does nothing but throw bombs at (conservative) women who have established themselves with any kind of credibility outside of the "Washington Elite" circle.
Doesn't matter. Any intelligent, God forbid, attractive conservative female is a target.
POINT 3: Male presidents have fuck@d up this country SOUNDLY.
FOR A LONG TIME.
In my estimation, at least 35 years.
Another observation is that progressivism runs along side most of these bastards.
POINT 4:
I could spend another 2 hours ticking off the ways that Carter, BushI, Clinton, BushII, and Obama have taken OUR COUNTRY OUT OF OUR HANDS, but it's pretty much our own damn fault.
POINT 5:
I am ready to consider a Female President.
As a happily married man, and I feel I can speak confidently for most happily married men:
Women have advantages that we simply don't have. They can love you, and still KICK YOUR ASS if it's necessary. All men (and women) know exactly what I'm sayin' here…
POINT 6:
The potential female president MUST BE Post - Menopausal!
Once again, if you are a happily, long time married man, you know what I'm sayin'. You too, ladies…
Well, that is all for now.
Feedback is ALWAYS appreciated.
Hugs n'kisses,
Stephen Charles

"It's All About the Students" HAHAHAHA!!!
Here we go, gang, I'll keep this short and sweet.
...Though sometimes I can be a bit long - winded. SHOCKING, I know.
"It's all about the students".
If I EVER hear another public school teacher spout that nonsense while protesting, I swear I'm going to invent a "Vomit Gun®" that will automatically track the idiot teacher down, anywhere in the country, and spew the contents of my stomach on them immediately.
I know, I know, this is a big sacrifice on my part, but - it's all for the students. I could be anywhere, at any time, and have my stomach evacuated instantly. It would be uncomfortable, but worth it.
I would also design it so that anyone in my proximity would not catch any overspray. I would retch, and convulse, and probably lie there flopping like a fish with an electrical probe up its rectum, but really, no one would know what exactly was going on.
You see, I would have the vomit instantly transported into the 4th dimension, to reappear where necessary.
Okay, enough of the Vomit Gun®.
"It's all for the students".
These are the types of signs I've been seeing in Madison, WI, (coming soon to a neighborhood near you in Ohio, Indiana, New York, Michigan, etc…)
This was proven beyond the shadow of a doubt when the teachers up and split on their students. Yep.
I actually saw an idiot teacher on TV this morning trying to explain their absence with this gem:
"The students are getting a real world education in how to stand for what you believe in." Okay, that makes some kind of bass - ackwards sense, I guess.
In other words:
"Don't go to work, then protest to show the students and people that pay our salaries that we can bring the system to a grinding halt by not going to work then protesting, while you are paying our salaries".
Here's a concept: GO TO WORK, and protest AFTER work- you know, like the vast majority of people in this whole damn country!
As far as the sissy Democrat Senators - here's my tip:
"Don't go to work in a show of protest to show the students and people that pay our salaries that we can bring the system to a grinding halt by not going to work then protesting, while you are paying our salaries". Oh wait… Hmmm.
Here's a BRILLIANT sign. I bet you never saw this one before:
"If you can read this, thank a teacher" HA!
Here is some fun information:
In the National Assessment of Educational Progress tests administered by the U.S. Department of Education in 2009—the latest year available—only 32 percent of Wisconsin public-school eighth graders earned a “proficient” rating while another 2 percent earned an “advanced” rating.
The other 66 percent of Wisconsin public-school eighth graders earned ratings below “proficient,” including 44 percent who earned a rating of “basic” and 22 percent who earned a rating of “below basic.”
SOOO… perhaps the sign should say"
"Thank a teacher if you are lucky enough to be able to read this"
More fun, that proves, conclusively, that the connection between money spent and results is UTTER HORSESHIT:
Wisconsin public schools increased their per pupil expenditures from $4,956 per pupil in 1998 to $10,791 per pupil in 2008.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator the $4,956 Wisconsin spent per pupil in 1998 dollars equaled $6,546 in 2008 dollars.
That means that from 1998 to 2008, Wisconsin public schools increased their per pupil spending by $4,245 in real terms yet did not add a single point to the reading scores of their eighth graders and still could lift only one-third of their eighth graders to at least a “proficient” level in reading.
Okay. Enough for now.
I've got a lot more in me, but it can wait for another time.
Hugs n' kisses,
Stephen Charles

I'm back, AND I'M PISSED!!!
Howdy, Gang-
I've taken about a month off to recharge and research a thing or two, and there are a couple things that are glaringly obvious to me:
In my reading of left - wing, right - wing and chicken - wing blogs and comment sections across the vast, intellectual wasteland that is the internet, I have noticed that BASIC readin' and ritin' is a scarce commodity. There are many people, however, that can make good, solid points but struggle with what I consider to be "WRITING - 4th GRADE".
I swear sometimes, many brains are like tumbleweeds that drift about some ghost town, flitting here and there, without ever staying long enough to put down roots and gather some intellectual nourishment. 'Course, that is the intrinsic nature of tumbleweeds. Silly me.
OK. HERE WE GO!
"There", "their" and "they're" all have different meanings and usage!!!!!!!!
Sorry. I'm truly here to help, and I'm going to make this as simple as possible, to try to compensate for the "Department of Education's" complete and utter failure.
30+ years. Nice plan, President Carter.
Brilliant execution by the NEA. (Not necessarily teachers, however…)
1.) If it is followed by "is", "are", "was", "were" or a contraction thereof, (we'll get to contractions later) … ALWAYS use "there".
To be clear, "their" and "they're" are NEVER followed by "is, are, was, or were".
*Believe it or not, I'm trying to keep this really simple.*
2.) "Their" and "They're" are always used when referring directly to living organisms. People, dogs, worms, whatever. NEVER use "there" in place of "their".
2.a) "Their" is possessive. (That means "ownership".)
For example:
"Their shoes." "Their homes." "Their bullets." In a sentence:
"Everybody left their homes with their shoes and their bullets."
You see, "they" own, or possess, homes, shoes and bullets.
Simple, right?
Now' I'm sure I'm gonna have some smartass say "where are "their" guns?" Well, you see, I can shoot bullets with my shoes. Maybe you can't.
Now, on to the MOST difficult of all of them - oooooh….
"THEY"RE"
(Frightening, I know. Please take a deep breath.)
It's really not complicated:
"They're" = "They are".
THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT!!! (Or, "that is all there is to it"!)
Oops - slipped into the wonderful land of contractions and apostrophes… That will be another lesson.
"They're" is a CONTRACTION of "they are". If you would use "they are" you can shorten it to "they're". PLEASE, make sure you put the apostrophe in the proper place. Otherwise, I'll get hives.
A CONTRACTION, simply put, is mashing two words together, and putting an apostrophe where the missing letter, or letters are.
A TEASER FOR THE NEXT LESSON:
"I'll = "I will"
"it's" = "it is"
"she's" = "she is"
ADVANCED:
"tons o' fun" = "tons of fun"
"top o' the mornin' " = "top of the morning"
Well, I'm sure y'all had tons o' fun walkin' down the ol' dusty trail w/ me! And top o' the mornin' to y'all!!!
Please don't be bashful if you think I've been less than clear.
You're comment's are alway's welcomed with open arm's! I wrote this so dam fast, some of the speeling may be off.
TEASER 2: APOSTROPHES AREN'T BRAIN SURGERY!!!
(No, "put them before every 's' " is not a sound strategy. Neither is "the more the merrier".)
Hugs n' kisses,
Stephen Charles

SOMEWHAT DISJOINTED RANT- (Installment 1) -PEP RALLY IN AZ.
WHY DID WE HAVE A PEP RALLY IN ARIZONA LAST NIGHT?
Hello, everybody. I watched bits and pieces of the “festivities” yesterday, and I have a few thoughts to share:
1.) President Obama’s speech was VERY good. Let’s get that right out of the way. I am not a “hater,” make no mistake. Neither am I a big fan.
2.) This had the feel of a “pep rally”, and that really bothered me.
3.) Large parts of it felt very contrived to me.
4.) For some reason, the left WILL NOT stop the “blame game.” Why?
The fact that the left continues to throw molotov cocktails at the right and talk radio simply shows me what many of the far left are made of, or afraid of. Open dialog threatens their feeble grasp on power.
Why does anyone have to grasp power? Free speech is, to me, the most important freedom we Americans have that distinguishes us from MANY in the world.
Now, we have the new Governor of RI forbidding any public employee from appearing on “talk radio”, as it is a “profit driven, entertainment outlet”, or somesuch. Understand, America, PROFITS ARE EVIL!
NPR is okay, though. No profit, hence, no problem.
In many cases, “talk radio” is an opportunity for folks in “Tunafish, Wyoming” to get something off their chest, because, as some of us know, getting a “letter to the editor” published is an especially rare occasion. Perhaps it could be considered a “pressure valve”.
MAYBE it gives the average American (AKA dumb hick) a chance to know they are not alone - in their:
“Bigoted, Racist, Homophobic, Islamaphobic, Gay - Bashing, Government Hating, Gun - Clinging, God Clinging, Anti - Womens’ Rights, Environment - Destroying, WACKO philosophies.
It must REALLY suck to carry around that much hatred and angst. It’s amazing how many names the far left has assigned to people that don’t TOE THE PARTY LINE.
WELL. Getting back to the original point, It felt wrong that there was not a sense of solemn awareness, overall, of the gravity of what had transpired in Tucson.
Too much applause for me.
Just my thoughts. Take them or leave them. I love free speech.
Over and out,
Stephen Charles
P.S. My thoughts and prayers have been, and will continue to be, going out to the families of, and those directly impacted by these horrible events. I am very encouraged by Congresswoman Gifford’s progress, as I’m sure many of you are.

LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX, BABEEEE!
Well, actually, let’s talk about the CBO, otherwise known as the Congressional Budget Office.
Sorry about the gratuitous sex thing.
BUT, almost as exciting, we have a brief tutorial for those uninformed about yet another governmental load of utter horseshit.
OKAY. The Congressional Budget Office is a “ non partisan” organization created by the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.
I like the sound of “impoundment” - how ‘bout you?
OKAY, again. Let’s just get this out of the way immediately: The CBO can ONLY WORK WITH THE INFORMATION IT RECEIVES FROM WHOMEVER SUBMITS THAT INFORMATION.
So, any time you hear someone referring to the conclusions of the CBO, there should be klaxons, alarms, bells, alarms and more klaxons and bells going off in your head.
If it doesn’t sit properly in your gut, these alarms should send your bullshit detector off the end of the BS scale. I don’t care whether it’s the left or right, once again, say it with me:
The CBO can ONLY WORK WITH THE INFORMATION IT RECEIVES FROM WHOMEVER SUBMITS THAT INFORMATION.
Oddly enough, the conclusions of the CBO are spoken of as a modern day Rosetta Stone, as though the results are impervious to any serious further discussion; the case is closed, the translation is without fault.
SO - let’s, for example, have a go at breakfast sausage! (I like food analogies, if you haven’t yet figured that out...)
The CBO receives this recipe, and draws its conclusions based thereon:
40 grams kosher salt
50 grams peeled and finely grated fresh ginger
30 grams tightly packed finely chopped fresh sage
18 grams minced garlic
6 grams white or black pepper, freshly ground
250 ml ice water
Combine all ingredients, toss, etc, etc.
The CBO’s conclusion is that this would indeed make a delicious breakfast sausage, BASED UPON THE INFORMATION THEY HAVE RECEIVED.
And it would!
BUT, for anyone with any experience making sausage, it would be apparent that the most important ingredient is missing:
2.25 KG boneless pork shoulder, diced
AKA the “Doctor Fix”
NOW, does this highlight an inherent flaw in the CBO? Of course it does!
Essentially, the CBO follows the classic cliche:
“Garbage in, garbage out.”
P.S. For anyone interested in making this sausage, I would be happy to provide all of the information you need to complete it. It really is wonderful. Once you have made and enjoyed fresh homemade sausage, it is a real eye - opener, and much more simple than you may think. It’s easy to make into patties. No need messing about with sheep intestines or the like.
Peace and love,
Stephen Charles

THE UTTER HYPOCRISY OF THE LEFT
THE UTTER HYPOCRISY OF THE LEFT
This post may seem a bit rambling and incoherent at times, because I am quite simply writing off of the top of my head, and I want to maintain a sense of my outrage and disgust without over analyzing...
The horrific incident that unfolded in AZ over the weekend gave the left an immediate opportunity to spew their typical kneejerk reactions - the target - hold on to your seats, boys and girls, THE RIGHT.
BEFORE any facts whatsoever were released, the left immediately jumped into the fray connecting this tragic act and “The vitriol of the Right” and “Hate Speech” attributed to such figures as Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, etc. In other words, “The Usual Suspects.”
YOU MAY REMEMBER after the Fort Hood massacre, that the left pleaded for patience, not jumping to conclusions, calm, etc, etc.
No such request here, however. A perfect opportunity to castigate and incriminate one of the things that the left fears most - FREE SPEECH. It is free unless, of course, it comes from them.
MAKE NO MISTAKE. There are assholes aplenty in both the right and left. What bothers me most is how quickly the left will take advantage of a “crisis” such as this to move forward with their agenda of restriction of speech, guns, you know, the typical stuff.
IN MY OPINION, the left is much more guilty of hateful, incendiary actions and words.
One TINY example:
Hey - you may find this funny, or appropriate, or non - inflammatory.
I really don’t care. I am a fan of free speech.
I find it as offensive as I would if Obama were the target.
What bothers me is the double standard that many people exhibit, primarily on the left.
“WE CAN DO IT, BUT YOU CAN’T.”
If anyone reading this can find a similar example of somesuch from the right, I feel confident that I can go 2 to 1 with you. Don’t bring the Obama as The Joker, or as Hitler, because that would be far too easy.
Let’s all stay focused on the fact that in a free society, horrendous things happen from time to time.
To paraphrase JFK, “It is not hard to kill The President. All you have to be willing to do is sacrifice your life for his.”
That could well apply to any one walking the planet, really.
What we have here is a wacko. Plain and simple.
Stop with the political haymaking already and focus on supporting the families of those that were killed or injured in this horrible incident.
Peace and Love,
Stephen Charles
