Attention

If you're reading this blog, then you already know that I like to post things concerning preparedness from time to time. I found this over at Brigid's and I think that it's extremely important that everyone who reads this blog and this post clicks on THIS link and reads.

Read carefully because this is a post that contains information that we should always keep in mind and generally, do not.

What? Me Worry?

Oh yeah. At first, I wondered about some of the stuff flying around about the left trying to spark a civil war. I thought, oh come on now, no one in their right mind wants that kind of horror. Maybe they're not in their right mind. I am actively beginning to wonder. Maybe I had better not discount this as simple frustration or as merely angry words.

Would you believe that a sitting state governor actually said this? Does that make you feel squeamish? The thought of that makes my skin crawl. How about this? Really?

Then, Obummer actually says that a Republican win in the next election would cripple the nation. Really? I think you already did that. What could be much worse that what you have already done? The economy is shot, unemployment went up, gas prices went up, don't get me started on the debt. You really think Republicans could do worse? A monkey wouldn't have made this much mess.

The question becomes one of what do we do about it? Will the election of a conservative help the process? Or do we need to look at another remedy? Is it time to start training in earnest for an event that we all fervently hope never happens? How doomed is this once great Republic? Should we try to fix it now? With all of it's resultant horror, or do we just keep praying it will never happen in our lifetimes and leave it to our children to clean up?

I honestly have no answers I am only throwing the thought out for discussion among my wiser readers. I will say I am getting more uncomfortable with what I see and hear, what I'm going to do? I wish I knew.

Penn & Teller - Fuck You terrorists

10 Years

Tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attack on the United States. Take the time to honor the dead and to remember who did this. They were terrorists. They attacked us.

Never forget.

Never forgive.

What Do You Think?

Texas Governor Rick Perry as President? I see I'll have to look deeper into his campaign but for those of you who already have, what do you think? Good? Bad? Meh?

Finally

Warthog Control is back online.

Give me some time to catch up and I should have something. I am currently investigating the earthquake in Virginia. I have received information that a geological fault was NOT responsible for this earthquake but it was instead caused by the Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves. More to follow.

Still Alive

But home internet is down due to equipment malfunction. Will be back ASAP.

Independance Day

I had really wanted to post something meaningful today. Something more than just a simple Happy 4th of July. I wanted to but I can't, I just don't feel it this year.

I thought the new Congress was going to fight Obamacare. They've done nothing. I was hoping someone might reign in TSA. Nope, nothing. They talk and talk about the stuff they're going to do once elected and then maintain the status quo once they're in.

I'm tired of people running for office and then playing dead when they get there and I'm even more tired and frustrated with the voters that let them. Don't even get me started on the news media that ignores it, or in some cases, champions it.

I wish I could say I had solutions to the problems, but I don't.

I do hope my readers enjoy the day but do take a moment to contemplate what it really means.

Sigh

It is with a great deal of sadness that I direct you all to the sidebar and ask you to visit the MCRGO's Do Not Patronize list. It has been recently updated and I see that it's sadly, a bit longer than it used to be.

I am also announcing my intention to boycott Walgreens in response to their recent firing of a pharmacist who defended his life and the lives of his co-workers with a legally carried concealed pistol. It is my understanding that at the time, Walgreens had NO policy regarding concealed carry by its employees. It is also my understanding that even the county prosecutor admitted that the pharmacists action saved the lives of his co-workers. My little personal boycott means nothing to Walgreens, but I know about it. Perhaps you would consider joining me?

THIS Is Why Michigan Is Fucked

Here it is, a bright shining example of why Michigan is fucked and may never recover.

I'll even give you some excerpts. Like this gem:

The property tax burden on our solar project is 60 times as much as the property tax burden on the nuclear power plant when calculated on a per kilowatt hour basis.

Priceless no? This is how government in Lansing functions. This kind of thing is why Detroit is swirling the bowl and dragging the rest of the state with it.

Field said he considers Michigan’s system to be “schizophrenic” in the sense that it places a tax burden on renewable energy while at the same time the state has a renewable portfolio standard law to encourage renewable energy. He contends that all sources of producing energy should have the same per kilowatt hour tax rate.

And he's right, but that's how Michigan rolls. We want you to bring your business/factory/JOBS here but you have to be taxed at rates that are beyond stupid. Now you know why all the jobs ran away from Michigan and went to Mexico.

Kalamazoo Solar has filed an appeal with the Michigan Tax Tribunal over the property tax issue, but in the meantime, it has to continue paying the property tax, Field said. The appeals were filed a year ago but it could be another two years before the hearing takes place.

3 years to hope that there might be some resolution to this issue and they still have to pay the fucking taxes while they wait and lose money. Don't you just love how swiftly they move on the issue? If we're going to push all this green/renewable energy crap down people's throats then why are we taxing it to the point it can't be sustained?

Rope. Tree. Politician. Some assembly required.

I Wish This Was A Joke

Read it here.

Are you fucking kidding me? Really? So, what do we have to look forward to now? How about the USNS Che Guevara? Our next carrier to be the USS Joseph Stalin? The new destroyer USS Fidel Castro? Re-naming Parris Island for Paris Hilton?

It probably won't help, but I think I'm gonna write this fucktard a letter.
