I'm really lazy lately. Guess I'd rather be playing golf and drinking vodka lemonade then blogging. In a tribute to my sloth, here's some interesting stuff I found on the web. Enjoy.
From Holy Taco a montage of people passed out on the toilet.
From I Heart Chaos comes this report about Indiana Jones 5. Five? Are you shitting me? How much money does Lucas need? Whats the subtitle going to be on this? Indian Jones: The Search for the Golden Dentures.
A great article by Larry Elder exposing the myth on why the vast majority of the "45 million" people who "can't afford" health insurance really don't have it. Larry Elder is great to read. I also recommend his book The Ten Things You Can't Say in America.
Cracked has this funny bit on why people were late for work. Its a bunch of photo shopped picks and pretty good.
A super cool video from Right Wing Video of a honey badger battling cobras and puff adders. Great stuff.
US News has this nifty little article about how to keep your wits when you get old. Read this carefully LP.
From Movie Crunch the ten best comedies of the 1970's. I agree with most of these. However, Airplane has to be on this list.
A commentary from Daily Mail on Orwell's 1984.
Don Surber on why the left ridicules women.
Enjoy your weekend!!

Tuesday Tunes 6/16/09
I've been a lazy slug of a blogger lately. My Tuesday Tunes theme is 1992. It was a great year. I graduated from my beloved alma mater with an "F" on my transcript that is still there. An "F" in a pass/fail that I refused to do. DO YOU HEAR ME CHRIS LAMB?! I wouldn't write your worthless mean nothing fucking POS "what I did at the career fair" paper if you put a gun in my mouth. You could kiss my ass then and you can still kiss my ass. Not that it affected my steller GPA but still.
So anyway here we are. Well 1992 wasn't a great year for music but I did manage to find a few songs worthy of my high standard of musical taste. So have a listen and think back to the sunny slopes of long ago. Still had beautiful brown hair then. Quarter beers at the Rockin R Bar that blew up this winter. Boot night at the Sundance which is now a casino. Saturday beers at Little John's which is now Mixers. What the hell has happened to my old drinking joints?

Just Ramblin
Played golf, drank vodka, ate tacos. Thought I should post this before it becomes obsolete. I do want to say how much I like all the Oklahomans who read this mindless blather. Hat tip to Chef Troll. Somehow he found this thing and broadened my horizons. Life is funny sometimes and I'm glad for my friends in the blogosphere.
Things that cross my mind while wondering why anyone would spend $2,600.00 to watch a regular season game at the new Yankee stadium.
Don't you love living in the era of no personal responsibility? I could go on and on but the example I'll use is Manny Ramirez. Drugs are rampant in professional sports. Manny was recently busted for a performance enhancing substance and had this to say "Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was OK to give me,” Ramirez said in a statement issued by the players’ union. Really? Your physician is so incompetent that he doesn't know which substances are banned or not? My advice to Manny is to get another doctor. Do these people really believe that the rest of us are that stupid? I mean, the rest of us who didn't vote for President Obamaclaus. The ones who did vote for him are obviously morons.
Hmm. Lets see. The government has bankrupt Social Security and Medicare and they want to be in charge of healthcare. Yeah. That makes perfect sense. A tremendous idea.
I was garage saling a couple of weeks ago and heard this exchange. A son pulled up to his mother's house and was wearing a t-shirt without sleeves.
Mom "You cut the sleeves off that shirt? I bought that special for you and it was expensive"
Son "Well, it's gonna get dirty with or without sleeves."
Me, to myself "What the hell does that even mean?" It made my head hurt.
You have to love living here. 80 on Saturday. 45 on Monday. 72 today and a chance of snow on Saturday. Yes, the weather here is very predictable.
I love baseball and consider that I have an eye for talent. Big Papi, you aren't all that. Every time Manny was out of the line-up you were exposed and could easily be pitched around. Now that Manny has been gone for almost a season, your production has been non-existent. Oh, your defenders can come up with whatever excuse they want but the bottom line is that the moniker "greatest clutch hitter of all time" is more of a product of where and when you played and nothing else. You never had me fooled. Not for a second.
Not alll republicans are conservatives but all democrats are liberals.
Speaking of democrats. Why can't they lead? Agree with George Bush or not, he did lead. He wasn't concerned with a legacy but the future of our country. He governed in that manner. That's not to say that I agreed with what he did all the time. Quite the contrary. I believed in 2000 and believe now that GWB was and is a moderate Republican and his record all but verifies this. Before some of you anti-war protesters get on the bitch wagon remember that there is no way we would be in Iraq without support of democratic leadership. Saying that you were "mislead" or "didn't have all the facts" but voting anyway only shows how stupid democratic leadership is. If you didn't research this particular subject with 100% conviction before voting you should resign in disgrace.
To continue on the legacy theme. Lets look at President Teleprompter. He is more worried about a Palestinian state and relations with dictators than righting the economic ship and protecting our nation. Closer to home Montana's stuttering idiot of a US Senator, Max Baucus, is trying to cram a health care plan system through the Senate that virtually no on in America wants. Except Max. And the insurance companies that contributed $400,000.00 to his re-election campaign. Coincidence? I think not.
Why isn't the press complaining about the rising cost of gasoline? Gas has gone up over 20 cents a gallon since Memorial Day and not a peep. When this happened every summer under GWB the press would scream how he was helping his buddies in Big Oil. Could it be that President Bush didn't have anything to do with high gas prices and that this was all part of the left wing mainstream media? No, not at all. The members of the media have their own opinions but they report objectively. Look at Dan Rather. oops I'm sorry. The New York Times. Dang it, my bad. Katie (I got my job because I'm above average looking and swallow) Couric. Sorry, wrong again. Someone out there has to be able to come up with an example of MSM objectivity. Anyone?
When did race, sex and ethnicity become a factor when picking a Supreme Court justice? Call me Ismail but shouldn't the most important factor be how they interpet the law?
I wonder if President Barry will apologize to the Germans this weekend for invading Normandy.
This weekend is the 65th anniversary of D-Day. Take a moment on Saturday to remember the thousands who died to liberate Europe. I heard Reagan's ,speech on the 40th anniversary and it is still moving 25 years later.
What did people say before the expression "its just like riding a bike"?
I would rather have to spend a weekend with my ex-wife then play golf as poorly as I played it last night. I still almost puke in my mouth when I think about it. The golf. Oh yeah, and the ex-wife.
Does anyone watch the NHL anymore? Last year QVC had a higher market share than the hockey all-star game. Makes me giggle.
So, Ted Kennedy's son is in rehab again. I'm not trying to make light of the situation but the article I read almost had a tone of "feel sorry for him" about it. Rush hurts his back and in his recovery becomes addicted to pain pills and is crucified in the media but a U.S. congressmen whose biggest claim to fame is, unlike his dad, not killing anyone while drinking and driving checks himself into rehab for the umpteenth time and I'm supposed to feel sorry for him? Whatever happens to him and his dad they've brought on themselves.

Becoming a liberal
I have decided to abandon my conservative principles and embrace liberalism. Although it will be hard to walk away from an ideology based on facts and objectivity to join one founded upon hypocrisy and government dependence, I can no longer look myself in the mirror and feel good. An abortion doctor was murdered by some nut and his assassination rates just behind that of Kennedy and Lincoln in importance. I’ve read with great interest the letters to the editor mourning this noted baby killer and must side with the feminist movement. I mean to listen to people like Katie Cady, an abortion doctor is killed almost every day and they are as important to society as real doctors who try to cure people. I think 6 have been killed in the years since Roe v. Wade. 49 million abortions have been performed since then and Ms. Cady makes it sound like they were all performed because of stepfathers raping their twelve year old daughters. While I’m sure this isn’t the case, now that I am a liberal I won’t let things like facts get in my way. I’ll just scream and call people names because that is how we debate. Facts be damned.
The good news is I have a terrific idea for the pro-abortion crowd. They want abortion on demand and I say we step it up a notch and push for abortion by force.
Here’s how it works. Every time any woman gets pregnant, she must pass a psychological exam that determines whether or not she is mentally fit to raise a child. If, by our liberal definition of “fit” she fails, the baby is aborted. If she is fit, she must pass part two. This is where we determine if she can financially raise the child. I’m thinking she must be able qualify for a $300,000.00 loan at 5% for 25 years. Her husband’s income, if she has one, cannot be counted. After all, real liberal women don’t need men and it’s the woman’s “right to choose” so in all fairness, it should be her responsibility to financially support the child. I realize that this may seriously effect part of our voting base but it’s only a matter of time before minorities and the poor figure out that we don’t really care about them and that we just use them for votes and cushy government jobs. Let’s be honest, if we as liberals did care, our leadership would do more than donate used underwear to the Salvation Army for the tax write off.
It will be a difficult road for me to embrace the religion of abortion and liberalism in general. I guess I have to renounce my Christian beliefs as well as conservative ones. I don’t get the whole “our children are the most important part of our future but lets kill them in the womb if we get the chance” mentality of liberalism but if I wanted to question a belief system and not be publicly crucified I’d stay a conservative.
So there you have it my new friends. If you think this idea is good wait until you hear what I want to do with the sick and elderly. Two words: Soilent Green. So where do I sign up and when’s the next meeting?

Remember D-Day
This weekend is the 65th anniversary of D-Day. Take a moment on Saturday to remember the thousands who died to liberate Europe. I listened to President Reagan's speech on the 40th anniversary and it is still moving 25 years later.
"I don't think the heavy stuff will come down for awhile" Carl Spackler
I'm off this week for another summer drive. As I've mentioned earlier, I'm heading to Ft. Benton for a golf tournament with my great friend Dan. Dan and I grew up two blocks from each other. We've known each other since kindergarten and still talk to each other at least twice a week. I'll be staying with Dan in beautiful Big Sandy. Mapquest, as well as the map below, shows you how to get there.
The good news is that I get to play golf with Dan. The bad news is that the weather for Saturday is supposed to be "Rain and snow in the morning...then rain likely in the afternoon. Cooler. No snow accumulation. Highs 40 to 45. North winds 5 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation 90 percent." No snow accumulation? Really? Well what the hell am I even worried about the weather for?! Its a good thing we made our tee time for 1 PM so at least we'll be playing in the heat of the day.

I'd almost rather vote for a democrat than play in those conditions. Almost.
Here's a map of my trip. I've include my other two trips as well. I'm driving up via Great Falls but will be coming back through Belt and the Smith River Valley. Its too pretty and my devoted out-of-state followers deserve to see some of this scenic country. Purple is the way up, yellow is the way back. With a population of less than one million, Montana is like a big city with really long streets.
