Jezz, don't we have enough problems without going to these extremes? The Tea Baggers are soooo out of it, tearing apart the poor woe-be-gone Republicans at every chance and fronting the good Moose Killer to do their pleading or is it bleating?
Gads, it would be funny if it wasn't so stupid. The baggers, themselves mostly dis-enfranchised Republicans or Libertarians gather here and there and create a mini-media stir at the time but what's the DIRECTION they are going? They say they don't want to be a 3rd Party in the US, they say they are anti-Big Government but most all of the organizations they seem to affiliate themselves with are run by the Big Corporations and/or all the rich eletes or ex-Bushies. It takes BIG money to front a political movement afterall and some direction even if it is all old hat crapola from the last Republican presidency. My neighbor is a bagger, listens to all the hot air that spews for from Rush and FoxNews that he can, he sounds off as though he has recorded their mad anthems and HAS to play them all back to me when he sees me.
It's boring, it's someone else's stuff and I don't give a damn, I have a rental to fix and move into and a house here to do up for it's new renters whomever they are.
Then these militia guys...they took up space on cnn.com this morning as they were busted by various organizations for plotting and conspiracy, 9 of 'em were handcuffed and led off to who knows where to suffer the consequences of their stupidities. They had a web page...http://hutaree.com (i know...what's a Hutaree? I'll get to that in a moment.) Go look at it...check out the advertisers and the links...bet those guys are next, wouldn't you? Guns, explosives, training, even a youtube video is posted! Good grief, hand the Feds the evidence for chissakes! AND, of course, they are a Religious Fundamental outfit, just chock full of pastors and PhDs, Lawyers and other genius types I imagine. Anyway, they had a PLAN, and the plan was severely compromised by the ATF and god knows what other police-type agencies as part of the plan was the killing of a cop and then the slaughter of the persons who came to that cop's funeral. Never mind...they are gone away to spend some time behind fine iron bars in a federal pen somewhere, yes they MAY play golf!
or Tennis. An inside job if ever there was one, the grand jury indictment sure has a bunch of first person inferences that prove that point. Yep, really bright revolutionaries there. Like the communist party in the US during the 50's...half the audiences in their assemblies were FBI agents. HALF. Who needs Al Qaeda when we have our own home grown crazies? Remember Oaklahoma City? Yeah. Oh...HUTAREE...supposedly translate from the???? to "Christian warrior." And in keeping with that name, the material it has posted online reflects an outlook of violent religious confrontation. The Hutaree believe that acts of violence can bring about the final judgment prophesied in the Christian Bible, oh brother. Here's a video on youtube...there are others as well. http://www.youtube.com/user/hutaree

Progress Is Our Most Important...Product?!
Maybe not, having time off to think about what we are trying to do or accomplish is important too. We have lots more work to be done at the Morgan Street house, more painting, more tiling, more details AND we have work to do in The Swamphouse too! The carpet in the office downstairs and in the upstairs bedroom (mine now as I'm in exile from The Marriage Bed by mutual agreement) too. Then tow new floors get put in place, a wood one like the other upstairs bedroom and here in The Office a continuation of the terracotta tile that is everywhere else downstairs. These are NOT small projects and will take at least another month to complete AFTER we are done with the Morgan Street house. France this year? I really don't think so, it wouldn't make much sense (financial or otherwise) to go and stay only a short time as we refuse to spend the winter there at all anymore...to !#$#$#@! cold, brrrrrr.
So we will just continue onward and upward on the two houses and rent this one when we are done and enjoy that one afterwards.
My son Michael, my grandson Jordan and I went to see the King Tut exhibit at the De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park yesterday afternoon. We had a great time gawking at all the treasures, reading all the liner notes and being jostled by the madding crowd. We spent a bit of time looking thru the souvenir shop for something for Jordan to remember this good day by. Satisfied by a hieroglyphic chart after looking through the wide array of gizmos and goo-gahs we ambled off towards the car and our dinner at Gino's Pizzeria on California Street. It was crowded and noisy with diners at this dinner hour as is typical of most restaurants in SF on a Friday evening. We orderred 2 beers and a Sprite and were seated at the counter in anticipation of the repast to come. A delicious and very fresh salad came first which we all shared eagerly, then the beautiful individual pizzas, a sausage and mushroom for Michael, a pepperoni for Jordan and a pepperoni, olives and anchovy one for yours truely, they were wonderful! A nice thin crust, blistered throughout with just the right amount of sauce and mozzerella, they were excellent! We wandered back to the car and drove north through the city to the Golden Gate Bridge, tony Marin County and to Petaluma where they dropped me off at the truck which was loaded with a three panel door purchased earlier in the day. I drove home feeling satisfied that we'd had a great time and shared time with each other, it's a too rare event that I'd like to do far more often. We aren't getting any younger!
