I'm gonna repeat myself,

Image
cuz I can see what's gonna happen. The FOXNews clowns, who have made a hero out of the multi-millionaire cattle rancher who has refused, (for about 20 years) to pay fees to graze his cattle on PUBLIC land, (BLM), are gonna be directly responsible when one (or more) of their redneck, gun toting posse either shoots someone, or gets shot, cuz the Bullshit Mountain crowd loves to incite the sheep. Just a matter of time. What makes this jerk think he's so special, and he shouldn't pay the fees everyone other rancher does, when they graze their herd on BLM land? A typical FOX 'HERO', from the clowns who fight 'handouts' (food stamps) to the poor, BUT, defend welfare to the oil companies (Oil Depletion Allowance), Big Business (like GE who pays ZERO income tax) and the multi-millionaire rancher who grazes his cattle on public land, but refuses to pay. FOXNews=Clueless Jerks. You'd have to be willfully blind not to see this crap.

FOX has a plan,

Image
to hurt the Dems (nothing new here) and started implementing it this morning, with a major push for Dr Ben Carson, who fits their agenda in several ways. (He's extremely conservative AND he's black) They came right out and said they'll 'steal black votes from the Democrats'. (Can you imagine a legitimate news agency endorsing/supporting a candidate that obviously?) AND, they can combat their anti-science image, cuz HEY, he's a DOCTOR! Nothing new from 'The Fair and Balanced' crew, BUT, this is really blatant, even for the clowns from Bullshit Mountain, who continue be 'a joke'.

USA Today, not exactly a Lib publication,

has a great article on Climate Change, today. For far too long, our national debate about climate change has been about "yes or no:" Is human-caused climate change real? That debate should now end. Based on well-established evidence, about 97% of climate scientists have concluded that human-caused climate change is happening. If 97 of 100 doctors told you that your child's health was at serious risk without surgery, how long would you wait for the other three to get on board?  Is 97 out of 100 ACTUAL Climatologists enough for FOX change their position? Hell NO! They support the rogue who's financed by big money manufacturing, and the sheep swallow the swill. Nothing new here, but thought that I'd point out that scientific opinion has risen from 95% to 97%, but the sheep still get their science from Limbaugh, O'Reilly and Hannity. Sickening, but so typical, for the anti-science crowd that has no problem believing that Noah put 2 of EVERY animal on earth,...

Watched the last of 'True Detective', tonight

Image
and was disappointed with the ending. I thought it was REALLY good, through the first 95 %, or so, but the ending was hard to watch. McConaughey and Harrellson were fantastic and the scenery in southern Louisiana was SO familiar after all the time I've spent in the swampland around Houma. Bottom line, thought the ending was just too dark. Maybe it's just me, and now that I think about it, not sure what else they could have done.

Because we're old farts,

Image
we watch 'Wheel of Fortune', (sometimes) and I've seen some real idiots, BUT, the Univ of Indiana guy, today set a new record. He only had to read 'Achilles tendon', after all the letters were up, but couldn't pronounce Achilles, so he lost, Then he had a chance to redeem, with, 'World's Fastest _a_,  but that was too difficult, and then was 'On the spot dec-s-on', and he said 'on the spot dice spin' Have seen people make stupid plays on the show, but not 3 in a row like this idiot. I'm sure he has a future on FOXNews, should he decide to pursue it...

IF, (or when?) some redneck gets shot,

Image
'defending' the Nev rancher who is grazing his cattle herd on BLM land, without paying the fees that everyone else has to pay for fattening cows on public land. Just cuz you been doing something 'for a long time' doesn't make it legal. FOX has misrepresented the actual problem, (claiming the govt is protecting turtles) and the 'talent' at Bullshit Mountain is gonna be directly responsible, cuz the 'double digit IQ' sheep actually believe their crap. Is gonna happen and is not a matter of IF, just WHEN. When you mix FOX, rednecks and automatic weapons, there's no good ending.

Is great to see Freddie

Image
'Boom Boom' Couples, the old fart (who's a lot younger than me), in third place at The Masters, where he always plays his best golf. They showed a leaderboard from 1985, with 4 names that are the same today, BUT, the other three, with Freddie, were SONS, of the guys from 1985. Way to go, Fred! I love The Masters, where the best golfers in the world play on the best golf course in the world, and it means spring is finally here. Yahoo!

Made a marinade for a beautiful elk loin,

Image
including, soy, Worcestershire, and teriyaki sauces, Wham seasoning, black pepper, garlic and onion powder, red wine and red wine vinegar, olive oil and sun-dried tomato dressing, with a couple secret ingredients, and it's soaking in it now. This is gonna be GREAT! PS. Wasn't as good as I was hoping... Cooked it too much. Idiot....

If you live under a rock,

Image
and/or are a FOX sheep, you probably haven't seen Colbert, and he's at his best here, from last night, as he 'owned' Bill O'Reilly, who took a knife to a gunfight, in this battle of wits. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/04/colbert-oreilly-anti-equality-logic_n_5091589.html Check it out. 4 minutes that shows 'intelligence and wit' vs Bill O'Reilly, champion of the sheep. I'm looking forward to Stephen getting a MUCH larger audience, taking over The Late Show, and skewering the right wing on a regular basis.

As always, FOX has taken an obvious story,

Image
and totally distorted the key facts to make the administration look bad. In this case, it's a Nevada rancher who is illegally grazing his herd of cattle on BLM land, WITHOUT paying the grazing fees that are paid by other ranchers and required by law. How does Bullshit Mountain report it? "Feds Protect Turtles at Expense of Rancher". No Shit! Because there are endangered tortoises on the land, FOX uses that angle to mislead the ignorant sheep that get their 'news' from them. I am continually amazed at the lengths the FOX clowns will go to in their efforts to skew the facts and present their distorted views as legitimate 'news', but this is one of the worst, AND it's brought FOXHole nutballs out of the woodwork, armed with automatic weapons, to 'protect' the rancher who's using public land to enrich himself. Un-f''ing-believable, but SO typical of the agenda at Bullshit Mountain. Also on FOX today? Check out Miley's new topless...

Growing up in Nebraska,

Image
Ive seen how water brings life to the huge fields of crops, that feed America and the world, and I've seen the changes as pivot irrigation systems suck the irreplacable water out of the Ogallala Aquifer, the largest aquifer in the US. At the current rate, 70 percent of the aquifer will be depleted by 2060, according to a study released last year by Kansas State University. Oil may seem like the most valuable commodity of the American midsection, but it’s not. Take away water from the Ogallala and you take away life itself. Depopulation, slow now, would accelerate, even beyond the Dust Bowl exodus of the 1930s. This is not idle speculation. Even those in the fact-denial camp of climate change, people who get their science from Rush Limbaugh, know that the Ogallala is being sucked dry. Shallower parts of the aquifer are now empty in parts of the Texas Panhandle. It would be different if this valuable water was being used to feed the world's people, but a huge portion...

I was gonna quit for the day,

Image
but I wanted to see the Colbert Report, after he was awarded Letterman's Late Show, and I'm SO glad I did, as he used his 'show' to show what an ass Bill O'Reilly is, as Big Bill traced all of America's problems back to the 60's when the 'hippies' defied the draft cuz they didn't want to die in Viet Nam. No Shit. It was the start of, 'if it feels good, do it' and the end of American values, according to Bill. (O'Jerky conveniently doesn't mention that he's a draft dodger) There's NO WAY I can describe what a jerk Bill O'Reilly is, better than he defines himself on this Colbert Show. You just gotta see it. And you wonder why Colbert was chosen to replace Letterman? Just watch him use O'Reilly's own words to prove what an ignorant jerk O'Reilly actually is. Really. Check it out. http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/colbert-report/195593  Colbert Report, 4-10-2014. Priceless.

If I wasn't sure before, I am now,

Image
as per Colbert taking over for Letterman, cuz the arch-villain of FOX-type news, Rush (Mr OxyContin) Limbaugh is freaking out. Bottom line, if Rush, better known as 'the big fat liar' is against it, then I am FOR it. Yahoo! Suck it, Rush.... (I admit it, just the sound of his voice induces a sick feeling in my stomach, as I picture his pig face and think of his sick agenda.)

Good news

Kathleen Sebelius, the Obama staffer who was in charge of the disastrous Obamacare rollout has resigned. I think she should have been canned, but at least she's gone, and maybe someone competent can take her place. Obviously a project SO huge is gonna have problems, but she was in 'way over her head',. Hasta la vista, baby...

I don't have a 'Bucket List',

Image
(although I probably should) cuz I've done most of what I've wanted to do, BUT, if I did, right near the top would be, 'Playing Augusta National Golf Course'. There are SO MANY classic holes, that I've watched for so many years. Don't think it could ever happen, but would be near the top of a 'bucket list', that I would love to do.

As I watch 'The Masters'

Image
I see the best golfers in the world, and see the 'best of the best', from the past, and I have a bunch of 'favorites', any of whom could win. As I hear about Hogan, Snead, Palmer, Nicklaus, Woods and others, I think about the 'best ever', in my opinion. And that would be Bobby Jones. If you don't know his story, that's too bad, but Google him, and see why he's the best ever, who quit at the top of his game. Amazing player...

This just in:

Image
Over 3 months after approving recreational marijuana, Denver still isn't a 'Crime-Filled Hellscape' as predicted by the 'Reefer Madness' believers. In fact, crime is down 14.6%. Oh well, the haters will find a way to try and make their predictions come true, although those of us who are living with it realize that a naturally growing plant that relieves pain isn't all that bad, and it is obvious why 'Big Pharma' doesn't want cannabis to replace the drugs that they charge HUGE money for. Nothing new here...

I admit it, I'm an addict.

Image
I've tried, but I can't stop. I have a sense of fair play, that can't be denied. Whenever I try to walk away and ignore them, I'm sucked back in, as I read one of the bullshit stories that they post as 'truth' on FOX news. It just AMAZES me that they are able to exist and even thrive when they are so OBVIOUSLY 'full of crap', with their 'bought and paid for' (over $100 million paid to the cable providers, to be included) 'news' network. I would have bet big money that they couldn't find and/or keep an audience with their obvious agenda, (which is banned in Canada where it is illegal for a news network to broadcst known lies), but they've found their niche. And a MAJOR part of that niche is the largest voting block in the country, Christians, (who they laugh at, behind their backs, well documented) and those who want to have their biases and prejudices confirmed. Bottom line? Best money ever spent by the Repub party in their effo...

Should be interesting,

Image
with Stephen Colbert replacing David Letterman on 'The Late Show'. The 'Colbert Report' has mined political comedy, with Stephen mocking Repubs by pretending to be 'One of Them' while exposing the hypocrisy of many of their postions. I doubt that he'll be able to keep his on air personae as he goes mainstream after his stint at Comedy Central, where the clowns of Bullshit Mountain are one of his favorite targets. I sure hope he doesn't have to 'sell out' and is able to keep his biting wit as he points out the foibles of the 'Conservative' point of view. 'Go For It', Stephen and show the world what your audience has been laughing at for so long. (As in last night's show where he showed of the FOX bimbos praising UConn for winning the NAACP Championship)

Of course The Vatican says it's fake,

Image
BUT, actual scholars disagree, about the authenticity of an ancient text that mentions Jesus' wife. An ancient, business-card-sized papyrus fragment that appears to quote Jesus Christ discussing his wife is real, Harvard University announced Thursday. The fragment caused international uproar when it was revealed by a Harvard historian in September 2012, with the Vatican swiftly deeming it a forgery.   Scientists say the papyrus and ink is over 1500 years old and the writing is consistent with known records. The world's largest financial institution, The Vatican, disagrees, cuz it would throw doubt on their entire system of celibacy, which is responsible for their preist/young boy problem. Nothing new here...
