The mystery classmate.
So this guy from my 6th grade class posted our class picture on my facebook this mornin. I can name all of them exept the young lad in the bottom row. I am asking my loyal readers from the Center of the Universe for help.
I also pointed out where I am in the photo for those of you who were not fortunate to grow up in Malta. It would have been awesome.
I also ponted to Sister Helen who I wrote about in The Hell Express.
Ghoulies and Schmalor, I need your help.
Its more of Shelbyville idea.
President Obama's solution to the job crisis is to build a train? Brilliant!!

From Deadspin again
I don't know if you all have seen this video of a Vikings fan at the end of the playoff game this past Sunday. The reaction is pretty good but the comment section is hilarious. And yes, I have nothing better to do.

At least he wore a tie
Has there ever been a state of the union less presidential? This guy is a total clown. He does, though, inspire me. Afterall, if a man this unqualifed, inexperienced and incompetent can be president, then the world is still my oyster.

This makes sense
My good friend in Minnesota and loyal reader James the Third sent me this from Steve Czaban's blog its awesome.
The following, is awesome!
It succinctly, and powerfully reduces the tyranny of modern statism to a quick and understandable read.
While Mark Levin's recent best seller "Liberty and Tyranny" is a thicker, more nuanced read, this is a good start for anybody who seeks to finally "get it" about the evils of modern liberalism.
If you are too lazy to read the whole thing, here's the original link from www.doczero.org.
It’s clear that the middle class is the great enemy of collectivism. Only they have the combination of voting power, money, and economic self-interest to see the growth of government as undesirable, and provide effective resistance. They generally view their interactions with government in a negative light – they’ve all spent time in the Department of Motor Vehicles mausoleum, spent hours wrestling with tax forms, or been slapped with a traffic citation they don’t think they deserved. They understand the inefficiency and emotional instability of government, and instinctively resent its intrusion into their lives. A health-care takeover is the best chance collectivists will ever have of persuading the middle class to vote itself into chains… but for the better part of a century, they’ve been able to hear the hammers of the State ringing on the metal of those chains, in the forges of taxation and regulation.
The middle class is a vast group in a capitalist society, which is one of the things collectivists really hate about capitalism. Its upper reaches include the entrepreneurs and small business owners that bring economic vitality. Virtually every aspect of Obama’s agenda is designed to injure or burden small businessmen, and this is no accident. Despite their angry rhetoric about giant corporations, leftists have little trouble controlling them. They often do business directly with the government, as vendors… and, through lobbyists, as customers. They generally employ members of labor unions, which serve as a de facto arm of Big Government, injecting the agenda of the State directly into the corporate bloodstream. It’s the small business owners and self-employed, along with those who aspire to join their ranks, who are the most difficult to control, and the most likely to muster effective electoral resistance to the statist agenda. The middle class is filled with people who pay attention to the second page of their paycheck stubs.
The President says “I have every interest in seeing a unified country solving big problems.” The rest of us have an interest in being allowed to pursue our individual solutions to those problems, according to the liberties our Constitution says belong to us as absolutely as our souls. We can see the wreckage of those “unified” solutions strewn through our past, and littering the rest of the world. Our frustration is born of intelligence and moral strength, not stubborn blindness.
This post should be a bookmark page, for when anybody asks you: "So what do you have against Obama, anyway?"
The entire post from Doc Zero can be found here. It's well worth the read. To quote JS3 "When are people going to wake up?"
When indeed.

Silent Picnic
My good friend Rick, who has the blog "The Mobridge" that he never posts anything on, sent me this video of a family picnic. I don't who the couple to the left are but the gentleman with the cigarette is Rick's father Lee. The other toddler is his brother Scott (I'm pretty sure that Scott is the one with the bottle). I'm assuming Rick's lovely mother Lila was the one running the camera. Lee passed away two years ago so he was reunited with his lovely wife. He was also my boss for 7+ years and taught me a lot about the business world and was a large contributor to my success. After my first year in college, Lee and Lila were in Bozeman and took me to dinner with the boys. Lila asked me how school was. I told her that I had screwed up my financial aid application and probably wasn't going to go back for a year. She took me aside later and said "Chip, I have my own money and I'll write you a loan if you need one to go to school." She told me that if I wanted to drop out that was fine. If I wanted to go back to work, good for me but she told me that money would never be a reason I quit school because she wouldn't allow it. A wonderful, wonderful woman indeed. Rick is also the guy who set this blog up for me, so thanks Ricker. We need to consume mass quantities sometime.
Enjoy the video.
