Our borders

For all those having a fit because the state of Texas is building a 700 mile long fence along the Mexican border, here's a little food for thought...

As it stands now, we can't keep out the thousands of low tech, poor SOBs that just want a little better life. Those folks are the least of our worries. If we can't stop them, how do we stop the criminals, drug dealers and terrorists?

Opportunity lost

I don't know whether or not we were justified in invading Iraq. What I do know is that our presence there has drawn Al Qaeda out of the woodwork like cock roaches. We will never eradicate this enemy because we are afraid of upsetting the government of Iraq. The same government we helped put into power.

If we are going to stay in Iraq, I believe we need to stop trying to train Iraqi soldiers and start opening up the gates of hell, that this country's military has the ability to do, and wipe these bastards out... period.

War is hell... innocent people will die. While sad, I see no other option. We will never win trying to go door to door looking for a sworn enemy that has no problem blending itself in to the civilian population.

Why I love country music

I've never been able to describe it quite like this...

Get a dog...

I don't always "pass on" e-mail jokes but this one was pretty cool...

If you want someone who will bring you the paper without first tearing it apart to remove the sports section, then get a dog.

If you want someone willing to make a fool of himself simply over the joy of seeing you, then get a dog.

If you want someone who will eat whatever you put in front of him and never says it's not quite as good as his mother made it, then get a dog.

If you want someone always willing to go out, at any hour, for as long and wherever you want, then get a dog.

If you want someone who will never touch the remote, doesn't care about football, and can sit next to you as you watch romantic movies then get a dog.

If you want someone who is content to get up on your bed just to warm your feet and whom you can push off if he snores, then get a dog.

If you want someone who never criticizes what you do, doesn't care if you are pretty or ugly, fat or thin, young or old, who acts as if every word you say is especially worthy of listening to , and loves you unconditionally, perpetually, then get a dog.

But, on the other hand, if you want someone who will never come when you call, ignores you to totally when you come home, leaves hair all over the place, walks all over you, runs around all night and only comes home to eat and sleep, and acts as if your entire existence is solely to ensure his happiness . .

Scroll down. .

then get a cat!

ADOPT A PET NOW!!!

Talk show hosts

I've found myself listening to a lot of talk radio these days. For a city of this size, talk radio junkies are lucky in as we have a few choices in stations. I am a card carrying, fence sitting moderate, so I find that I don't agree with all of the Conservative hosts. That said, I don't even listen to the Air America affiliate out here.

Here are a couple I really like...

Glen Beck: His view on the war in Iraq is about the same as mine. I agree with him that the US should have went in to Iraq with all guns blazing, or not at all.

Eric Von Wade: A local news anchor that hosts his own talk show in the afternoon. His politics are a little on the right for me, but in my opinion, he is the best of the local talk show hosts.

... and one I can't stand...

Rush Limbaugh: I'm sure his arrogant, egotistical persona is all part of the show, but after a while, it just makes my ears bleed.

Alec Baldwin = Father of the Year...

Yah, and I'm next in line for the penthouse suite at Vatican Square.

Listen to this garbage...

I would hope this slimeball would never be able to contact this kid again. Forget the temporary suspension.

Things that really piss me off... Part 1

• Political correctness
• Laws designed to protect you from yourself (ie... helmet and seat belt)
• Ultra conservative wackos
• Ultra liberal wackos
• The fact that this country sends billions of dollars overseas when we have sick, hungry and homeless people in this country
• People who abuse the generosity of others
• Kids who wear their pants down around their ass
• Adults who wear their pants down around their ass
• People who drive like idiots
• Cops who tag drivers going less than 10 mph over the limit while the drunks, showoffs and drag racers go unnoticed
• Cops who are on traffic detail while neighborhood patrolling is lacking
• The unwillingness of the court system to put gang-bangers in jail
• The media's glorification of gang life
• People who piss on the toilet seat

Stay tuned... More to come.
