Something (to seriously) Think About

Nowadays we provide children with an endless list of excuses for failure; then we expect them to succeed.

The Serial Killer Whale

What makes a Killer Whale go bad? Are they the product of a bad home life, victim of racism, poverty, lack of opportunity, gangs (Pods), violent video games, drugs, lack of role models, peer pressure, low self esteem, personal issues, mom and dad had poor parenting skills, internal conflict over race (am I black or white), or what? Will other whales like the grey whale or blue whale associate with them?


Nut jobs like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and Sea Shepard's will tell you that every time a person is injured or killed by an animal it is the person's fault. The claim is the person encroached on their territory, scarred them, molested them, or fed them.


I normally disagree with PETA on every issue. A woman walking in a wooded area is eaten by a Puma and according to them it would be her fault. She encroached into their world asking to be eaten. People are not aliens from another planet. We are part of nature and are entitled to use the wooded area same as the lion. I only fault the woman for not carrying a gun in order to defend herself from the lions, tigers and bears. In the instance of this whale I agree stay out of this mammal's neighborhood.


The serial killer whale is a different story. It killed a previous trainer and a homeless guy. I assume he was homeless as he entered the park after closing possibly seeking shelter. Can you imagine the guys face as he was prowling around and a giant monster's head came out of the water and grabbed him. Picture the expression on his face. What a surprise!


My question is why these people at Sea World Orlando continue playing with this whale. Either make whale fillets out of him or release him to the sea. Stop the chain of endless violence. When a whale becomes a serial killer he is trying to tell you something. Tilly or Tillie (not sure of the spelling and don't care) says "don't mess with me."

Followup to experiment

The Styrofoam exposed to the air is starting to show signs of deterioration. I have not disturbed the piece that I buried but my guess it is in worse shape.

A little humor for you

• Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

• A man's beloved old convertible was in deplorable shape, but he refused to get rid of it. So when the old junker was stolen from his office parking lot, his family was delighted. Nevertheless, they called the police and filed an insurance claim. Their relief was short-lived, because within an hour an officer was on the phone. "We found the car less than a mile away," he said, trying to keep from laughing. "It had a note on it that read, "Thanks anyway, we'd rather walk."

• JUDGE: "Is there any reason you could not serve as a juror in this case?"
• JUROR: "I don't want to be away from my job for that long."
• JUDGE: "Can't they do without you at work?"
• JUROR: "Yes, but I don't want them to know that."

Just what is terrorism these days?

The pantie waist Barack Hussein Obama cannot allow the federal agencies to admit when a terrorist act occurs. He has so weakened our defenses we are no longer safe. It took 3 weeks for them to call the Fort Hood murders a terrorist act. This despite the fact that the murderer was a follower of a terrorist in Yemen, the murderer gave his Koran away prior to the murders, and he screamed out in Arabic "Praise to God" before he started shooting.

Yesterday, 2-18-10 another terrorist Joseph Andrew Stack flew an airplane into the IRS building in Austin, Texas. He did this after writing a manifesto outlining his complaints against the government and urging violence. He additionally set his house on fire. The government initially stated that the crash appeared to be an accident. What! This despite the fact the plane came in at full throttle, kamikaze style. Later in the day they called it an isolated criminal act. Again What!

Was this attack so unlike the Twin Towers attack that they can't see the similarities? (airplane---building---crash) Was the Oklahoma City bombing (explosion---federal government building---hate for government) much different than yesterday's attack? Both of these were rapidly identified as terrorist attacks. The only question is how long will it take Obama to admit it.

Near Death Experience

For critics of my writings a good thing almost happened yesterday morning. I almost killed myself. This information can also be viewed as a consumer safety warning. While in the shower I noticed that the non-slip mat was a little close to the drain. With the shower running I lifted the mat and repositioned it away from the drain. Un-be-knownst to me a non-slip mat with water under it becomes a skateboard (hydroplanes). In the blink of an eye I was airborne breaching with the grace and style of a Beluga Whale. I landed with kidney (left side) on the edge of the tub. I struck with such force I bounced into the air once again ; this time resembling more of a beach ball that a whale. I flew out of the tub, half way, striking my thigh on the side of the tub and my left shoulder hitting the floor. I managed to strike and jam fingers on both hands. This action felt as if it had been ongoing for at least 10 minutes. I was certain the motion was over and I was about to take a breath and begin to evaluate the damage. Suddenly, I realized it wasn't over when my head violently struck the tile floor. I thought back to to the early years when I was a bull rider in rodeos. It was like being bucked off a bull and you hit the ground. It's over, then the bull either gores you or kicks you in the head. Now that I have had twenty-four hours to recover I have had time to check the tile floor for cracks, and to find a bright spot in this near tragedy. I believe that I can make a tidy sum of money off this incident. I am relatively sure that I have three kidneys now. One on the right side and two on the left. I"m confident the one on the left split in two. I will sell the spare on the open market. This morning I discovered that I have an uncontrollable fear of mats, both tub and floor.

Great Danes

Today I went to Walmart. Elite liberals look upon Walmart shoppers with disdain and consider them to be hicks and rubes. Regular liberals don't like them because they are patronizing a store that is not unionized.

I have discovered that I learn something new each time that I go to Walmart. Today I was asked to contribute money to save the Great Danes. I didn't know they were in trouble. I failed to ask but now I wonder who is after them and why. What if anything did they do and how much danger are they in. Did they turn states evidence against the mafia? Do they have extensive gambling debt? Are they betting on the horses again? Is it a drug deal gone bad. Were they cheating with a married Dane and their spouse found out? I have no idea what the problem is but I wish them the best. They have now joined the legion of victims that need our help.

Point of info.

Currently social Security is paying out more than it is taking in. Don't believe me ask the government. Wait until the hordes of baby boomers start drawing on it.

I have told many people in the past that both Medicare and Social Security are bankrupt. They scoffed at my remarks. Tell me if more money is leaving your checking account than you are depositing will the bank consider your account broke?

What can you do to fix this mess?

Vote!!!! Make sure you know something about the candidate you are voting for. That is the mistake a lot of Obama voters made. He promised his hope and change but no one knew where that would lead them. Vote for people who are for limited government. The larger the government the more of your money they need. The less money you have the fewer choices you have (less freedom to do as you wish and less liberty as the more power they have the less you will have).

Taxes for All

B.H Obama stated on numerous occasions both before and after his election that no person earning less than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year would pay a dime more in taxes. I told you back on 5-31-09 that it was a lie. Now Barry claims to be agnostic (take no position, vote present). He wants to form a commission to advise on tax increases and other matters. When they reccomend tax increases on everyone, he will raise taxes and then blame the commission. Additionally, the Bush tax cuts run out this year since the democrat congress chose not to extend them. At that point you will discover that you are one of the rich people that benefited from the Bush tax cuts. All the suckers who voted for this liar will pay higher taxes.

Presidential Press Secretary

Robert Gibbs,"Family Guy", the presidential press secretary attempted to make fun of Sarah Palin by writing a few words on the palm of his hand. This jackass needs to be more careful with his actions. He wasn't the least bit funny, and I am sure that his comments will reminded many people that our incompetent liar and chief Obama can't string two sentences together without a teleprompter.

Question: Why is this guy Gibbs such a idiot.
Answer: Because he is a freaking toon.

Washington D.C.

Today 2-6-10 the miscreants (politicians) in Washington D.C. are experiencing a blizzard the likes of which they last saw in 1922. I know most of them don't pray to GOD, but I am sure they are wishing (hope and change) that global warming wasn't just a gigantic hoax.

Rogelia "Penny" Bailey

This morning shortly before 7 A.M. the Lord took my mother-in-law Rogelia "Penny" Bailey to be with him. She was 91 years old and was healthy and in control of her mental faculties right up until the end. She loved her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. They were the focus and enjoyment of her life. They had the same love for her.

Her daughter and son spent almost every minute of the past month caring and visiting with her. She succumbed to cancer but was able to avoid the suffering that many cancer patients go through. She was an example to all of us with her grace, strength, and fortitude.

We all will love and miss you Nana.

Dear Lord

If it be thy will during this difficult time we ask you Lord for strength and understanding. Remind us Lord to keep faith and belief in what you have planned for us. Lord please hold our mother in your hands soothing and comforting her. Thank you for the time we have been able to share with her. We hope the love and concern we have for her was of some benefit to her. She did not weep for herself nor should we, but instead reflect on the time we had with her. We humbly ask for these things in Jesus Name,

Amen
