Pass The Ammo

Thank God for them West Virgina Hillbilly’s. And it goes without saying… don’t you ever pull some of this crap.

Guys… it’s crazy. I had a baby.

I saw this, and at first I thought it was about Flight 93, which I have yet to see. But it’s about the WTC, and yes… it did make my eyes mist.

The interesting thing is that it has Nick Cage in it. It’s kinda weird. I like him as an actor… but I can’t really think of a movie he’s in that I really like. He mostly plays stupid movies. We’ll see how this one goes, but I’m sure it’s gonna be rough. Especially since the memory of 9-11 is still too fresh.

This is my venting post. As most you know, I work for my old man at his billiard and spa shop. We just recently started building decks for folks. We’ve only done a few at this point, and I’m still new at the whole “bid and estimate” part. I went out to bid a deck in Post Falls, the other day. Seemingly nice older folks. Fresh up from filthy Sacramento. Great. Californicators.

So after measuring out what they wanted in the composite material, I call em up and give em the total. They want to do it so they give me their credit card number and I store that in their file. They also ask me to write up a fancy little contract (california again) and fax it over to them with our Herbie Hancock on it.

Welp. I made a mistake. I failed at including the cost of the railing system. And composite railing is crazy expensive. It was $2,400 greenbacks, just to go to the lumber yard, and buy enough railing for a 20 x 15 foot deck. Wow. I blew it. So I call em up, explain my carelessness and give em the new bid on the deck.

Now… I know it’s not just me that can be reasonable and understand the mistake made. But these two assbags woulden’t hear of it.

Lady: “Oh, but you made an agreement over the phone at this price, and we gave you a card number, and we thought everything was taken care of. We trusted you to build our deck while we would be out of town, we thought you were trustworthy, and I’m a whiny little b…”

Okay, except for that last part, thats what the lady was saying. So I ask “What would you do in my situation? I’m human and I make mistakes just like the next guy.” And she replies,

Lady: “I would eat it!”

I’m on the verge of attempting a tactical matrix manuevre of transporting through the phone receiver, appearing on her end, bitch slapping her, and then transporting out again.

What’s my first thought as a response? “Bull Spit, you woulden’t eat it without a written contract!!! Hell, you probably woulden’t eat it IF THERE WAS a written contract, you blood sucking beast!” *Take a deep breath…. prepare to kiss some snobby arse.*

Chad: “Well, I’m sorry but we can’t pay $2,400 so we can build your deck for you.”

Lady: “Oh, but you made an agreement over the phone at this price, and we gave you a card number, and we thought everything was taken care of. We trusted you to build our deck while we would be out of town, we thought you were trustworthy, and I’m a whiny little b…”

Thinking that her husband would be more “down to earth” reasonable, I ask to speak to him. Often times the wimmin get all uppity and emotional and don’t make sense. Another reason why they should never be CoC of the USA. But this guy is as bad as his wife!

“*See above whiny argument*”

So I think I understand the big picture now. These filthy snakes from Sacramento don’t care… they just want their deck at that price, because they knew it was too good to be true. And they don’t care who has to eat it, they want it want it want it, and they’ll bad mouth the company across town now, because I didn’t eat it. I don’t care how those worms do it in California… but most folks up here in this situation would be completely understanding that a mistake was made, under no written agreement, and would not slander us all over town.

But thats how it ended on the phone with these clowns. “Well, I’m gonna tell my friends.”

Well good for you, you worthless sack of … Eh, he probably doesn’t have friends anyway.

Well… I feel better now that I got to type this out. I think I’ll go enjoy an ice cold Kokanee. Those canadians can make a fine brew.

I started to write up this big fat post, about how The Da Vinci Code is complete fiction, and has no base for it’s claims whatsoever. Then I realized, “Why should I even bring attention to such rediculous claims?”. The book was entirely fiction. Not that I read it or anything. It’s hard to not hear about the movie, and its “greatness”, since the media is so damn hyped up about the thing. But I did read a information pamplet that was put out by Rose Publishing. Very informational as to what the book and movie suggest on Christianity.

Mostly suggested that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, that the Bible was created by man entirely, Constantine re-wrote the Bible to his likings, and destroyed all the originals. Most of it a bunch of farsical, unsupported ideas. The author, Dan Brown, can claim that everything in the book is “based on actual events”, but the only reason he wrote something so controversial is for the $$$.

So if any of you have questions about the book/movie and it’s claims on Christianity, feel free to ask about it.

Kennedy: Police report filed in car crash, but no charges (News Link)

CAPITOL HILL A spokeswoman says Congressman Patrick Kennedy has “no knowledge of any citations” from his early morning crash yesterday.His office received a police report this morning on the car crash.

A statement from Capitol Police says officers “are continuing to investigate.”

A police union official has said officers were ordered to send the congressman home. The union official says Kennedy appeared intoxicated and officers smelled alcohol.

In a statement, the Rhode Island Democrat says he took medication prescribed by a doctor, but didn’t drink anything before the crash. Kennedy also says he never asked for “preferential treatment.”

His father is Senator Edward Kennedy.

Too bad he coulden’t have ended up at the bottom of a lake, like that one girl. This ‘No punishment for Kennedys’ is getting really old. What we need is some good ol’ fashioned Idaho Honky Justice. String em up.

Waters over at The Attic Downstairs posted a link to this video clip. It’s a security guard shooting down a robber on the run.

Why can’t we do this more often? I’m pretty sure the number of robberies nationwide would plummet.

Thomas Jefferson: “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.”

I’m really sick and tired of seeing people falsley attributing a quote that Thomas Jefferson has never said. Thats the great thing about the internet. Nobody needs facts anymore. All you gotta do is find some forum, where some clown spoke out his @$$, and people take it as fact.

Read the urban legend scoop on it too.

And I always see this quote places. Places that appear legite, or well-thought-out.

The first feller to bring it to my attention, was George, in a comment he left awhile back. He pretty much said what urban legend says, but he paraphrased it nicely.

Sorry dude, but Jefferson never said that. It was first said by moonbat historian Howard Zinn in 2002, in an interview that appeared in the progressive rag “TomPaine”.

Howard Zinn: “While some people think that dissent is unpatriotic, I would argue that dissent is the highest form of patriotism. In fact, if patriotism means being true to the principles for which your country is supposed to stand, then certainly the right to dissent is one of those principles. And if we’re exercising that right to dissent, it’s a patriotic act”

TomPaine is of course named after the revolutionary nut who fled the US, denounced George Washington, got charged with Treason in England, fled to France where he became a French citizen and member of their National Convention, before they tossed him in jail. James Monroe bailed him out, so he fled back to America, where he was ostracized and died in poverty.

So I’m posting this in hopes that anyone else who googles the quote, might learn the truth.

I wrote this over a year ago and it received modest distribution. It also earned me threats over a period of several weeks from a deranged lib who didn’t like my reasoning. I thought perhaps today would be a good day to send it out again. -Russ

Try crossing our southern border; try going the other way,
To enter Mexico illegally for an extended, unlawful stay.
Ignore immigration quotas, all their visas and their fees,
And quietly slip their border, anytime you damn well please.
Just sneak in past the policía, ignoring Mexican laws;
You’ve a desperate need to improve your lot; you have a righteous cause.
With Evil Bush in power now, destroying your liberal order,
You’ve a right to seek asylum, to trespass their northern border.

Once there, speak English only and demand it in their schools;
Forget assimilation; make Mexicanos change their rules.
What right do these Latinos have to make you learn their lingo?
Tell those churlish campesinos¹ you’ve the right to remain a gringo.
Move right on in, live your own way, ignore their cultural norms,
And demand the use of English on all their official forms.
Free healthcare is, of course, your right; let poor peones² pay,
For bilingual health providers throughout your border-bending stay.

Be sure to have a baby just as quickly as you can;
A citizen in the family helps legitimize your clan.
Then have another three or four, or maybe six or eight;
Don’t worry how you’ll feed them, just demand help from the state.
Paisanos³ paying taxes may resent your reckless breeding,
And protest loudly to their states about your gringo kids they’re feeding;
“But it’s just our way,” is your excuse, “Brought from our Yanquí land.”
How dare they question gringo ways they’ll never understand?

So defend your Anglo ethos; yield not your Yanquí essence;
And demand a driver’s license to legitimize your presence.
Just so you know what you’ve done wrong in case of policía stops,
Insist the Federales must teach English to all cops.
Make Mexicans accept your ways, make them your pliant fools;
Demand a Yanquí culture course be taught in all their schools.
So what you paid no taxes; when you’re an old gringo who will care?
File for your Seguridad Social, after all, you’re due your share.

If all this sounds preposterous, an irrational expectation,
Dems are demanding it for Illegals now in our multicultural nation.
