Yes, Son

..this is my blog, JWG. Google the name to get the joke, but it's more than time we started talking again, and I love you, and I miss you it's been too many years.

Emotional? Yes. Logical? YES.

It's been a long, long road from "there" to "here". Just signed a lease for the first time in almost 10 years, I wasn't planning on doing anything else for the next 12 months, so it seemed appropriate.

But planting roots has shaken me up, nameless stresses and random uncertainty. After so long, being an Official Resident of a Location takes a lot of getting used to.

Logical? No. But very, very Human.

  “If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn’t plan your mission properly.” – David Hackworth

Logic. The foundation of all Western Civilization, the basis of everything that has advanced us from the Caves. Spear/Atlatl/Bow+arrow - someone figures it out using Logic.

Take a look - guy throws spear farther, we are more safely away from dangerous beast (dinner) "How'd you do that?" "Uh, hooked this stick to the back then flung it like This!"

Worked, so they all started doing it, and Won.

We've been doing a lot of stuff lately that defies Logic. Logic always wins. You can ride it out for awhile, it sure makes you a lot of money and/or makes you look good in the short run, but Logical Nations and Logical Individual People play the long game.

Don't be Stupid. Nationally nor Individually.

Logically, it's time to hunker down and survive the storms.

This is no longer about Obama, he just shines the light of clarity on a Federal Beast that is on autopilot, drilling deeper into our lives, trying to regulate everything.
Obama just exposes the mess by his excessive use of the Beast…the Beast has been there for decades he has merely Unleashed it.
“Merely”. “Unleashed”.
Beware the Kraken!

Logic dicates.....prepare to defend against The Kraken!

If something the Feds do curtails or restrains Trucking, which operates on small margins, the cities starve and the economy collapses.
Food riots, etc. in 3-5 days in every major city. Which of course requires “emergency powers” for “the duration”.

Logical?

Who's fighting this?

Not mine, but sensibly Logical:

If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates. ~ Jay Leno

The problem with political jokes is they get elected. ~ Henry Cate, VII

We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. ~ Aesop

If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these State of the Union speeches, there wouldn't be any inducement to go to heaven. ~ Will Rogers

One of the penalties of not participating in politics is that you will be governed by your inferiors. ~ Plato

Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river. ~ Nikita Khrushchev

When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it. ~ Clarence Darrow

Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you. ~ Author unknown

Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel. ~ John Quinton

Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other. ~ Oscar Ameringer

The Democrats are the party that try to make you believe more government involvement will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that say government doesn't work and then, they get elected and prove it. ~ P.J. O'Rourke

I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them. ~ Adlai Stevenson, campaign speech, 1952

A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country. ~ Tex Guinan

Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically, by definition, be disqualified from ever doing so. ~ Gore Vidal

I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians. ~ Charles de Gaulle

Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks. ~ Doug Larson

Don't vote; it only encourages them. ~ Author unknown

There ought to be one day -- just one -- when there is open season on senators. ~ Will Rogers

 The ultimate logic is the logic is to call it quits, and have some means to do so at hand. However, certain facts come to mind. They say the brain stays active for 3-4 minutes after blood-flow ceases. I really don't want to be conscious that long , fully aware that I'm already fucking dead. Logical?

So the only answer is complete smashing of the brain, so there's no way you stay conscious. Guns, bricks, pavement from altitude, completely smashed to pulp.

Logical.

Politics Fall 2012

Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.
Sun Tzu

Not logical, but forthcoming

Modern version, of course.

Sweating out Solutions

I've been sweating outdoors a lot in Texas and the South in general, and also reading a lot of "historical" fiction based in the South in the 1800s.

Many detailed depictions of the clothing they wore in that era, and the humidity. One top-notch author noted that the British considered 19th century service in Washington D.C. a "hardship post" because of the terrible climate, heat and humidity. Considering the formal clothing required, and the Brit's global expertise with tropical conditions, that's a pretty damning indictment of D.C.

But just think, in the 1800's a lot of positions were vehemently expressed, and acted upon, without endless spin and dissembling.

How much of that was the sweat pouring under woolen clothing? When's the last time you wore a wool suit in a non-air-conditioned building when the heat index outside is 110?

Maybe we should shut off the AC in the Capitol building, and watch the resultant action!!!

Logical? I think so. Make 'em work, instead of talk endless BS...

Government We Deserve?

Some idiot on HotAir.com said we "get the government we deserve".

Not this Century.
The Average American deserves leadership that respects them, not Rulers that take every advantage. We deserve citizen-soldiers, and part-time Congresspeople that have accomplished something in life besides being elected by moochers to “bring home the bacon”. We deserve honesty. We deserve accountability. We deserve frugal, judicious use of the heavy taxes we pay – tax money taken from the mouths of our hungry children.
We DESERVE BETTER!!!

Stardate: Memorial Day, 2012

Killing 34 hours in my new Home State of Texas, observing Memorial Day in my airforce-veteran-military-brat kind of way...reflecting and contemplating...how FAT we all are. Not me, but:

Christ, a 250 lb 40+ heifer helping her 300 lb 65+ mother to the feeding trough at Denny's All You Can Eat?

Everywhere, 250lb+ idiots with a 64oz coke in one hand and a 3/4 lb burger in the other...walking across the damned parking lot? TOWARD the car, what the hell did they eat inside for this to be a snack to get them back to the car?

These are your fellow Americans, the Citizens we hope will step up and vote out Tyranny, and vote for Liberty and Constitutional Governance.

The only Logical chance is to have a soda refill pump at the polling place. Maybe go "old-school", crack a keg and hand out $20s.

 Or maybe logic suggests these fat fuckers stay home and order more pizza?

Fall, 2012

Get ready for Riots, and the Federal attempt at Martial Law. Been saying it for years, it's the only Logical conclusion to the events of the last 3 years.

Food and Ammo, Food and Ammo, Food and Ammo to defend the Food (and Ammo).

The only Logical response.

"Great" Britain

News today(4/12/12) that England wants to inspect ALL emails, texts, calls, etc.

Our fans in D.C. ain't far behind....those American folks need to Read our Constitution. Ratified in 1789, iirc. At gunpoint against those Englishers....

Need for Speed

Politics are dragging it's ass across the pavement, leaving a smelly trail. The Super Bowl crowned my most reviled state, and it's NFL (New Jersey) team.

Meh. Funk. Funk-it, baby, funk-it.

But...the spring Equinox is less than 6 weeks away, and next week we have...wait for it...the Daytona 500.

Rock and roll, speed demons, Rock and Roll.

Not Logical, but Visceral. I need it...I need SPEED!

Logical, for shot-lovers
