Stick A Fork In It, The Fad Is Over

The other week I traveled almost 700 miles from Hot-Lanta to Tejas. Along the way I noticed something, there were hardly any of the cheap-ass made-in-China magnetic ribbons saying "Support The Troops". I noticed three of them while crossing 3 states and then one vehicle doubled that as there were 3 ribbons on the tailgate. It was in the area around Ft. Puke, so that might explain it. On the way back going over the same roads, I only noticed 2!! A couple of years ago the ribbons were everywhere. You couldn't spit without hitting a SUV with several ribbons on it. Now if people are too lazy to transfer the magnetic ribbon from the old vehicle to the new one or too cheap to buy a new cheap-ass made-in-China ribbon to put on the new vehicle, then obviously the fad has run its course. (See the support magnet on the sidebar, which I stole from the blog of a Navy wife.)

Maybe now they are just praying for the troops. Below is how I feel about prayer.
I've always looked askance at "Sunshine Patriotism" like the slapping of a cheap ribbon on a SUV to show support for a war. Also those that wrap themselves in the flag or worse multiple flags. What always comes to mind is the old saying; "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel". And this morning while thinking about doing this post it hit me why I may feel that way. When I was serving during 'Nam, it was assholes saying things like "If we don't stop the filthy Commies in 'Nam, we'll be fighting them in Long Beach!!" Those so-called patriots were what got us into the war in 'Nam and kept us there way too long(over 50,000 dead too long)!! They were more than willing to send the young guys off to be killed, but didn't give a FUCK about them if and when they came back!! Some things never change.

Funny how this post worked out. Ever since I noticed how few ribbons were on cars now I have been thinking about doing this post. It was just going to be a tongue in cheek thing about a fad that had passed, and turned into a rant about the assholes who prolong wars by doing stuff they think is helping the cause while not requiring any effort on their part.

Cow-Pilot Is Back On The Job

The Cow-Pilot has been back on the job for almost a year now. The way it started was one day as we picked up our mail at the mailbox that is half a mile from the house UP on the Tundra, there was a small package for The Old Lady from a friend. Inside was the Cow and she flipped it up on the dash of the car. It lived there until the car died and was removed before sending the car to the automotive graveyard. We never thought to transfer it to the other car and after I got my truck, never thought to put it in the truck. It lived on a shelf and got packed and moved when we moved here and then lived on a shelf again. Last year The Old Lady got a new car and one of the first things she did was put the Cow-Pilot to work again.

I tried several times to get a good picture of the Cow-Pilot on the job, but the glare on the windshield always got in the way. When I was at The Kid's place the other week, I was able to take the picture when the car was parked in the carport. It still took several attempts because of all the pollen on the windshield.

Who's Going To Build The Wall??

Heard this song on the radio the other week when I was on my way to Tejas.

If you want to reduce illegal immigration, start putting the cheap bastards that hire illegals in jail and fine them enough to make it unprofitable for them to hire illegals!!

My Favorite Neil Diamond Song

My cousin once won a bet with a Neil Diamond fan that swore Neil Diamond never did a song like this. He took him to a record store and pointed it out on his "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" album.

I Know This Guy

Below is parts of a story in TheLeafChronicle.com. Yesterday just for the hell of it I decided to google him and after going thru a couple of pages of the results, this story came up.

"Steam swirled from a pot on the stove in the mobile home of Carl and Wanda Reddick, but an aroma of dinner cooking didn't follow.

It helps us breathe," Carl said.

His wife Wanda suffers from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD, which makes it difficult for her to breathe. She has to use an oxygen tube 24/7, but the supply is Carl's because her disability has been rejected by Social Security, which makes her ineligible for TennCare or any other insurance."

At 61, Wanda has another year before she can qualify for Medicare. "I can't wait that long," she says.

The reporter is an IDIOT. In a year she will be able to get on Social Security, but you have to be 65 to get on Medicare.

Wanda is among the 30 million uninsured Americans who could get coverage under the new health care legislation that would extend health insurance to those who have none and those with pre-existing conditions.

"It's a mess," said Carl, 71. "The whole system is a mess. ... It's just a shame. (Dealing with it) is like going to the end of a road and finding there's nothing but a drop off."

It's hard to know what to say. They worked hard and paid into the system all along and now when she needs help, all it takes is one person to deny her the help she needs. Even with help from SSI or some other program their life would not be a picnic, but maybe they would be able to live a little longer. The way is now their lives could be shortened because they are denied help. It says in the article that they hope the health care bill that just passed will do something to help them, but by the time anything good would kick in, she'd be on Medicare.

It's amazing just how many nasty comments there were for this article. It looks like nowadays the only place you can find sympathy is in the dictionary between shit and syphillis. Anyone who decides to say something equally crappy, like Wanda got what she deserves because she's now fat, is going to get deleted in a New York minute.
