As Acidman would say, “We’re All Gonna Die!”
I received an email the other day talking about a documentary called “The Great Global Warming Swindle”. I have watched a portion of it and have not finished yet. I was going to post about it over the weekend but ended up not having the chance but Rosemary DID and it makes more sense than anything I would write anyway, so go check out Rosemary’s Thoughts on the video.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s scheduled appearance at Columbia University is fueling a debate about whether or not the academic institution should grant the contreversial leader to express his opinions.
In an interview on TV this morning he is claiming that they are neither building a nuclear bomb nor headed to war with the United States.
He also said that…
He has a point there about the Soviet Union but that was an entirely different issue with a different government. I do think that if we go to war it will be because we start it.
As far as his appearance at Columbia University I am all for differing viewpoints but how can we let someone speak to our students that wants to wipe Israel of the planet and claims that the holocaust never happened? Ahmadinejad claims that Iran wants nothing mor e than peace and friendship with the United States and for most of the citizens of Iran that might be true and it may even be true for the President himself but unfortunately he is just a mouthpiece because he is not really in control of Iran. That distinction goes to the Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who has the last word in all policies in Iran and also has control of the military.
While liberal educators and the U.N. General Counsel are busy playing footsy with Ahmadinejad the Supreme Leader (as he is known) is busy laying plans for the destruction of Israel because in the eyes of Iran Israel is an abomination.
He also requested that he be able to lay a wreath at Ground Zero. That request was denied by the city of New York and rightly so since Iran is one of the financial backers for many terrorist groups.

I am getting ready to lose one of my cooks at the store I don’t have a manager, which pretty much sucks. He just went through drug rehabilitation but has not been able to get his community service done in the time allotted and will be spending at least 30 days in jail and maybe 60. I don’t understand exactly what it is he’s been doing but I guess he must have though he had better things to do. If I still have a slot open when he gets out he will get to keep his job but I am doing my best to go ahead and get it covered as I don’t particularly want to be working more than I already am.
A while back we sent a couple of care packages to our nephew in Iraq. He has thus far received one of them and thoroughly enjoyed the contents which ranged from snacks and libations to toothbrushes and stuff. It took right around a month to get to him, which could be worse I suppose. We have sent him another one more recently but he hasn’t received it yet. I guess now that my son is in the military we will end up sending quite a few more care packages each month.
As much as I enjoy sending out the care packages it can be a pain to try and get everything together and packaged properly for a long trip. There is a website at CookiesAmore.com that will ship care packages to our soldiers for you. Show Your Support of Our Troops! CookiesAmore has several different type of care packages that include different types of snacks for soldiers with and without a sweet tooth.
Some of theses guys (and ladies) spend a year or more away from their families and friends and even away from people that speak the same language. One of the coolest things that you can do to show your support for the members of our military is to send them a care package.
Now we just need a Santa action figure to fight him…
It’s definitely weird to try and write after several beers. Thank goodness for the spell-checking plugin I use with Firefox. We’ve had a pretty good time a the Marine’s going away party. As much as I talk about beer, I am actually pretty much a lightweight. I am on my 6th or 7th beer and am pretty much toast. The only down side to this is that I have to be up at 4:30 tomorrow morning.
I have to call all of the store pretty shortly and hope that they are staffed. I am most certainly not in the condition to drive to work if someone hasn’t shown up or calls in, which is unfortunately exactly what will happen if I get hung tonight.
No matter what happens we have had a pretty good time, although I think I might try to hit the sack at a decent time.
Just got off the phone with my stores and they are all staffed. I’m either going out for another beer or I am going to hit the sack…
Only one person hung me today and I have taken her off the rest of the week. Amazingly enough for a Saturday I made it home at a decent time. I even had time to stop and get ice and chips for the party. Right now I am just drinking coffee, although once the Sam Adams Oktoberfest is cold enough I will have to break into that.
Party on…
I have a ton of writing that I want to do but as I sit down at the keyboard I just don’t feel like doing any of it. Part of it is that I have had a long week full of long days and I am worn out. I sat down to write a couple of things before I have to go to work but I think that perhaps I will just reset my alarm on the cell phone and go lie back down for another 45 minutes or so…
The party is tonight so although I am sure that I will be posting tweets and the occasional picture, this is about it until tomorrow.
I ordered some parts for my gas grill a couple of days ago and paid for next day air. As a matter of fact I paid more for the damned delivery charges than I did for the parts themselves. I gave them very specific instructions that if they couldn’t get the parts for me today then they just need to cancel the order. Get them to me they did. Too bad they sent the wrong parts. I ordered a burner and the two venturi things that hook to the gas lines. The burner that they sent me doesn’t even remotely look like the one that I ordered and the venturi pair won’t even fit the damn thing. I guess someone must have smoked a bit too much dope before packing the box.
I called and called and called and called and of course they don’t answer the phone, so I have emailed clagrills.com and told them that they need to send me an RMA airbill so that I can send these parts back and that as long as they refund my shipping costs they could send me the correct parts. If they can’t do that they just need to send me my damn money back. Although for the party tomorrow we are just doing cold cuts and party trays I had planned on grilling steaks for the Marine Sunday night since he has to go back the next day.
I hate it when things don’t go the way I think they should go.
Police in Alexandria Louisiana, a few miles from Jena and host to several demonstrations in answer to the Jena 6 stuff that has been going on have arrested 18-year-old Jeremiah Munsen and a minor for driving intoxicated and hanging two nooses from the back of his pickup. Apparently he also had an unloaded rifle in the truck, which would be fairly common for the area anyway.
Apparently Munsen kept cruising the demonstration slowly and police have also charged him with inciting to riot as well as the DUI.
Just one more redneck asshat.
