Random Rantings

I knew the country would go to hell under Obullshit, but I didn't think it would go this fast.

Chris Dodd is high on the list of "worst political Charlatan of the 21st Century", Giving Hugo Chavez and Barney "The Banking Queen" Frank a run for the roses.

Got a new Toshiba laptop 10 days ago, still learning the keys.  Need to get a wireless internet card.

Decided to make legal use of my chemical preparation skills I learned in the Navy and learn to make cold process and hot process soap.  I'm envisioning a line of organic soaps, lotions and lip balms called

KazBar.  I originally intended to use the name to open a Buffalo style "Gin Mill" but NC law doesn't allow alcohol unless 80% of the business is food.   Soapmaking is easy for someone with my experience, it's easier than running an eatery, and safer than preparing illegal substances, which is big business down here--moonshining is common, and the meth problem is unspeakably bad depending on the county.

March is the month that Steele has an insert in Hemmings Motor News for a free catalog, and we have to do the data entry---they come in by the hundreds every day, and it fills the workday, and after a full day of data entry between phone calls, I'm not much up for typing posts all night---How about Chris taking up some of the slack before the blog goes stale?

Got my taxes done today, owe the government almost 400.00, and I'll get about double that back from the state, when they find the money.  Talk of a 1.00/pk increase in the cigarette tax.

Wife got about 600 less bonus than she got last year, but how can you complain if you've got a job at all.

Treasury Secretary Geithner got the kiss of death from Obama today when he said "I have full confidence in Secretary Geithner"---That's Obamaspeak for "Brownie's doing a good job down there at FEMA".  In comments give your guess how long this freakin' moron's gonna last.

Must be fun to work at AIG these days, eh?

Hank, I love the name you picked for your soap. As a Marine Corps Leaguer, I thought you'd be tempted to make your soap in the shape of a combat knife and call it, oh, maybe a KA-BAR. Oh, wait. That's already taken...

The soap thing sounds intriguing.

We can market it on our sidebar. You'll be rich!!!!

The thing that sticks out to me is that you bought a new laptop that didn't have wireless built in. You need to check with me first, Cap'n, before you make purchases like that.

Hank, I am pretty much in 100% disagreement with everything, ok almost everything you say politically but I do get a kick out of your mopping the floor with "Mike" who is an avowed asshole. I attended bloggercon last week and met some of the people on here. Paul Dub confirmed my suspicion that you are an o.k. Pole and a true B-lonian in spite of where you are living now. As a liberal I agree Dodd is looking like dead man walking and I never was sold on Geitner either. As a teacher I will raise you Arne the Prez's basketball lawyer pal who was put in charge of education but hasn't spent a second on the wrong side of the teacher's desk. I hope Spring comes early In NC, it is in no hurry here !!! Peace.
