Genesis..............
Adam and Eve said, ‘Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day.
Now we do not see you anymore. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us.’
And God said, I will create a companion for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me.
Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves.’
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.
And it was a good animal,
And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail
And Adam said, ‘Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal.’
And God said, ‘I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG.’
And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.
And they were comforted
And God was pleased.
And Dog was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, ‘Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride.
They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration.
Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well.’
And God said, I will create for them a companion who will be with them and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration.
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat’s eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.
And Adam and Eve learned humility.
And they were greatly improved.
And God was pleased . . . . . .
And Dog was happy. . . . .
And Cat didn’t give a shit one way or the other….

Does this make sense?
Ok, maybe it did.....the majority dems "found their b@lls" and passed their health care bill....
Eff 'em.
We are not commodities to be regulated. We are not owned. We are American Citizens.
That's what I hate about this bill. Affordable healthcare for all Americans? Of Course I'm for that. But Mandating that I will have healthcare insurance OR be charged $12,000.00 per year as a FINE?
That includes your young, healthy don't want the expense of insurance......I was that way throughout my twenties.....and just imagine:
You're 22 or 23 years old, part or full time college, minimum wage job to pay the bills, and now all of a sudden you're MANDATED to buy insurance that you don't feel a need for.......or the IRS comes looking for you?
Hope and pray that the Supreme Court finds this Unconstitutional, because the odds of having enough Constitutionalists in Congress to repeal this pig of a bill, and THEN to override the Veto that the pResident would sign.....
Well, it doesn't look good that direction, Folkes.

Boris and Ivan...oh, and the Goat........
A re-Post as a reminder....and Digi's posting of an excerpt from Atla Shrugged is what got me going.....
Realise, please that I'm not talking "politics" here, so much as People with certain tendencies gravitate to one end of the political spectrum or the other. So....at the risk of kicking an old horse, I'll tell a story that I heard a Looooong time ago that was a sort of metaphor for Socialism......*thanks to Thomas Sowell for the verbiage*.....
THERE IS AN OLD STORY about two Russian peasants, Boris and Ivan. Both are poor as dirt, the only difference between them being that Boris has a goat and Ivan does not.
One day, a good fairy appears at Ivan's hut and tells him that she can grant him just one wish -- but that it can be anything he wants. Ivan says, "I want that Boris' goat should die."
Variations on this story have appeared in other societies, so this is not about Russians. It is about human nature. The attitude it illustrates is very much part of the politics of our time -- the politics of envy and resentment.
Envy probably does less harm than resentment. If Ivan had merely envied Boris, he could have asked for a goat of his own -- or a herd of goats or a million rubles. But he resented Boris' good fortune and wanted to bring him down.
This resentment is ....well to dumb ol' Wollf anyway, the foundation of socialism. Punish those who have more than you do. Hate them, wish them ill.....kill their goat....
Instead of working hard and getting a G-d damm goat of your own. Don't hate the People that you consider "rich".....in most cases American "rich" People worked very hard for what they have......they also, by having money, tend to be the People that employ the rest of us.....
Socialism, which I fear is the way that our great Country is moving, doesn't give the poor a leg up......it breaks the legs of those that are already up. Economies don't prosper from the bottom up....it's just the opposite.
I don't hate Democrats....but I truly detest socialists. I will and have made everything that I have through my own hard work, and I simply do not wish any government to take it away from me and spend it foolishly.

There's a complete Sociology Texbook in here somewheres......
PARIS (AFP) – Game show contestants turn torturers in a new psychological experiment for French television, zapping a man with electricity until he cries for mercy -- then zapping him again until he seems to drop dead.
"The Game of Death" has all the trappings of a traditional television quiz show, with a roaring crowd and a glamorous and well-known hostess urging the players on under gaudy studio lights.
But the contestants did not know they were taking part in an experiment to find out whether television could push them to outrageous lengths, and which has prompted comparisons with the atrocities of Nazi Germany.
"We were amazed to find that 81 percent of the participants obeyed" the sadistic orders of the television presenter, said Christophe Nick, the maker of the documentary for the state-owned France 2 channel which airs Wednesday.
"They are not equipped to disobey," he added. "They don't want to do it, they try to convince the authority figure that they should stop, but they don't manage to," he told AFP.
Nick and a team of psychologists recruited 80 volunteers, telling them they were taking part in a pilot for a new television show.
The game: posing questions to another "player" and punishing him with up to 460 volts of electricity when he gets them wrong -- even until his cries of "Let me go!" fall silent and he appears to have died.
Not knowing that the screaming victim is really an actor, the apparently reluctant contestants yield to the orders of the presenter and chants of "Punishment!" from a studio audience who also believed the game was real.
Nick said 80 percent of the contestants went all the way, zapping the victim with the maximum 460 volts until he appeared to die. Out of 80 players, just 16 walked out.
One contestant interviewed afterwards said she went along with the torture despite knowing that her own grandparents were Jews who had been persecuted by the Nazis.
"Since I was a little girl, I have always asked myself why they (the Nazis) did it. How could they obey such orders? And there I was, obeying them myself," said Sophie, quoted in a book by the film makers.
"I was worried about the contestant," said another contestant. "At the same time, I was afraid to spoil the programme."
The experiment was modelled on an infamous study at Yale University in the 1960s, which used similar methods to examine how obedient citizens could come to take part in mass murder.
Some observers were sceptical of the manipulative way the participants were handled.
Jacques Semelin, a psychologist and historian who studies genocide and totalitarianism, pointed out that the participants were made to sign a contract obliging them to obey the presenter's instructions.
"There are elements of manipulation from the start," said Jacques Semelin, a psychologist and historian who studies genocide and totalitarianism.
"They are obedient, but it's more than mere obedience -- there is the audience, the cameras everywhere."
But for the film makers, the manipulative power of television was exactly the point.
"The questioners are ... in the grip of the authority of television," said Jean-Leon Beauvois, a psychologist who took part in the documentary.
"When it decides to abuse its power, television can do anything to anybody," said Nick. "It has an absolutely terrifying power
Now Wollf..... what comes to mind immediately is the phrase "Ve vere just following ze Orders....." Nazi Germany indeed.
The German People were "normal" people, just like you and I.....and the French contestants in this show/ experiment.
This experiment just drives home the need to be an Independent thinker....
Sheeple, I think is the term for "most" of the population is.... they go along to get along. Even to the point of "killing" an innocent....all because of Authority and peer pressure.....
I don't see myself that way. I'm not a "joiner", as in the Sipsey Street fellows, or the Three Percenters or the Oathkeepers.....
But I took an Oath, and I will keep it if needs arise. No sense getting your name and address out to every Big Brother out there..... yannow?
So there you go, the depressing news about our species for today.
Oh....and Eff You Jesse James. Skunk for the day, took the hot seat from Tigger. B@stards. *That was another Oath I took....Fidelity until death do us part"...

Reminiscing.........
Many years ago,I gave first my baby daughter, a little ‘tea set’ as a gift and it was one of her favorite toys.
I was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when she brought me a little cup of ‘tea,’ which was just water.
After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my then wife came home.
I made her wait in the living room to watch the little princess bring me a cup of tea, because it was, “just the cutest thing!”
The wife waited, and sure enough, here she came down the hall with a cup of tea for me and the wife watches as I drink it up, then the wife says,
“Did it ever occur to you that the only place our daughter can reach to get water is the toilet?”
I think that was the end of that marriage.........
If you've never seen this......
......or if your children or grandchildren haven't....take the time.

Eighth and I........
The Commandant of the Marine Corps was General Al Gray, a crusty old 'Field Marine.'
He loved his Marines and often slipped into the mess hall wearing a faded old field jacket without any rank or insignia on it.
He would go through the chow line just like a private (In this way, he was assured of being given the same rations that the lowest enlisted man received. And, woe be it to the mess officer if the food was found to be 'unfit in quality or quantity').
Upon becoming Commandant, General Gray was expected to do a great deal of 'formal entertaining'...fancy dinner parties in full dress blue uniform.
Now, the General would rather have been in the field eating cold 'C-rats' around a fighting hole with a bunch of young 'hard charging' Marines. But the General knew his duty and as a Marine he was determined to do it to the best of his ability.
During these formal parties, a detachment of highly polished Marines from 'Eighth and Eye' (Marine Barracks located at 8th and I Streets in Washington, D.C., home of the Silent Drill Team) were detailed to assume the position of 'parade rest' at various intervals around the ballroom where the festivities were being held.
At some point during one of these affairs, a very refined, blue-haired lady picked up a tray of pastries and went around the room offering confections to the guests.
When she noticed these Marines in dress blues, standing like sculptures all around the room, she was moved with admiration. She knew that several of these men were fresh from our victory in Kuwait . She made a beeline for the closest Lance Corporal, drew near him and asked, 'Would you like pastry young man?'
The young Marine snapped to 'attention' and replied, "I don't eat that shit, Ma'am."
Just as quickly, he resumed the position of 'parade rest.' His gaze remained fixed on some distant point throughout the exchange.
The fancy lady was completely taken aback! She blinked, her eyes widened, her mouth dropped open. So startled was she that she immediately began to doubt what she had heard. In a quivering voice she asked, "W-W-What did you say?"
The Marine snapped back to the position of 'attention' (like the arm of a mousetrap smacking it's wooden base). Then he said, '"I don't eat that shit, Ma'am." And just as smartly as before, back to the position of 'parade rest' he went.
This time, there was no doubt. The fancy lady immediately became incensed and felt insulted. After all, here she was an important lady, taking the time to offer something nice to this enlisted man (well below her station in life), and he had the nerve to say THAT to HER!
She exclaimed, "Well! I never...!" The lady remembered that she had met that military man in charge of all these 'soldiers' earlier.
She spotted General Gray from across the room.. He had a cigar clenched between his teeth and a camouflaged canteen cup full of bourbon in his left hand.
He was talking to a group of 1st and 2nd Lieutenants. So the blue haired lady went straight over to the Commandant and interrupted.
"General, I offered some pastry to that young man over there, and do you know what he told me?"
General Gray cocked his eyebrow, took the cigar out of his mouth and said, "Well, no Ma'am, I don't."
The lady took in a deep breath, confident that she was adequately expressing with her body language her considerable rage and indignation. As she wagged her head in cadence with her words, and she paused between each word for effect, 'She said, "I - don't - eat - that -shit - Ma'am!''
The lieutenants were in a state of near apoplexy. A couple of them choked back chuckles, and turned their heads to avoid having their smirks detected.
The next thought that most of them had was, 'God, I hope it wasn't one of MY Marines!' and the color left their faces.
General Gray wrinkled his brow, cut his eyes in the direction of lieutenants, put his free hand to his chin and muttered a subdued, "Hmmm".
Which one did you say it was Ma'am?," the General asked.
"That tall sturdy one right over there near the window, General," the woman said with smug satisfaction.
One of the lieutenants began to look sick and put a hand on the wall for support.
General Gray, seemed deep in thought, hand still to his chin, wrinkled brow.
Suddenly, he looked up and his expression changed to one indicating he had made a decision.
He looked the fancy lady right in the eyes and said, "Well, f%*k him! Don't give him any."

Water leak -- Read before seeing video ~ Unbelievable!
........heh
Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a
doubt that the bills weren't representative of their actual usage and no
matter how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued. Although they
could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks or problems;
first the water meter, then outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes,
faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc, all to no avail.
One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water
running downstairs. He finally tore himself from his sick bed & went to
investigate, and stumbled onto the cause of such high water bills.
Apparently this was happening all day long when they were not at home.
Knowing that few would believe him, he taped a segment of the
'problem' for posterity! Now watch the video!

I Hate monkeys.........
.....and I don't like giving them a voice on my Blog....but ol' Wollf is a reasonable sort, and This was too good to pass up.......
Monkey eluding police can be found on Facebook
WTSP-TV, Tampa, Fla.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -
Wildlife officers can't find him.
Police officers can't find him.
But apparently, a monkey that has managed to elude capture for months can be found on Facebook.
After being spotted in a tree Wednesday, the monkey, which is thought to be a male 30-pound rhesus macaque, led wildlife and police officials on a five-hour chase. In the end, the monkey remained on the lam.
Pinellas County wildlife expert Vernon Yates managed to hit the animal with a tranquilizer dart. It became sedated and appeared to fall asleep while clinging to a branch in the top of a tree. When a second tranquilizer dart was fired at the primate, it awoke and then bolted from the tree.
The chase was then on as officials tried to keep up with the animal as it jumped from tree to tree. It eventually jumped on the ground and quickly ran from authorities.
"It was extremely agile, like I'm talking Spiderman agile," said Marc Ortiz after he tried tackling the monkey.
By early Thursday morning, the monkey had two pages on Facebook.
One is called Gomonkey Go and was created by St. Petersburg resident Kurt Thompson.
"I have been following the monkey story for the last few months, and I thought he needed a voice," Thompson said. "I thought this was really funny, and my girlfriend agreed."
As of 6:30 a.m. Thursday, Gomonkey Go had 33 friends on Facebook. Thompson's goal is to gain 100 friends in 24 hours.
He's got some competition.
Someone else created a Facebook fan page called Mystery Monkey of Tampa Bay.
Early Thursday morning, the page's status update read: "You think two darts is going to slow me down... Hahahahahah Suka!"
An earlier status update read: "Had a close call today but I move with the quickness......."
Under personal interests, Mystery Monkey lists "primate" as his affiliation, and "bananas" and "messing with the popo" among his interests.
You want to check his Facebook? Go HERE
Or....do you want to listen in on the PoPo,(that's Cop in young'un language), while they're chasing and he's eluding? Well then, go HERE INSTEAD
At least he's not throwing poop yet.......

From Pravda......
Russia’s Defense Ministry has shown interest in the new electomechanical rifle the performance of which exceeds that of sniper weapons. The rifle was invented by a schoolboy in the city of Ufa.......
Maxim Kotelnikov, an eighth-grader, designed his weapon after he had seen a TV program about the use of similar rifles in the USA and Korea.
It took the boy a year to design the new weapon. He used his friend’s broken game rifle as the basis......See the report today in the News that the ATF confiscated $12,000.00 worth of Air Soft guns from a retailer in Florida because they could "easily" be converted to machine guns????
The rifle weighs nearly six kilos; it fires special cartridges that need to be magnetized in advance.
Russia’s Defense Ministry showed interest in the new weapon and asked the boy’s permission to test his rifle.
“This weapon is unique for it fires noiselessly. There is no shock of discharge and a shot does not produce a flare. No other sniper rifle can do it. I designed my own system, which I called the “Nucleus System,” the boy said.
The rifle is based on the principle of accelerating coil. The rifle is powered with electricity only. A bullet gathers speed immediately, PolitOnline reports with referecne to Life.ru.
Maxim showed his creation to his teacher of physics. The teacher sent the wunderkind to St. Petersburg, where the boy took part in “Russia’s Young Intellectuals” forum... Imagine a 15 year old showing his teacher this creation here in the States? Can you spell LOCKDOWN/FRENZY/HYSTERIA???
The 15-year-old boy took the first place at the forum and received a special invitation for practice at the defense ministry.
All further tests of Maxim’s weapon will be conducted under the guidance of ministerial scientists.
The boy will assemble three other rifles in St. Petersburg during one month.
If the tests are successful, it is not ruled out that the electromagnetic sniper rifle will be launched into serial production for the needs of the Russian armed forces.
I don't like this weapon.....oh sure, I want one, but I don't like what it portends. Noiseless, flashless....make the Sniper even more invisible... Maybe I'm getting old.
And then again, maybe I'm just "old "school".....my Barret or Dragunov over this thing any day of the week.
Just saying.....

Maxim Kotelnikov, an eighth-grader, designed his weapon after he had seen a TV program about the use of similar rifles in the USA and Korea.
It took the boy a year to design the new weapon. He used his friend’s broken game rifle as the basis......See the report today in the News that the ATF confiscated $12,000.00 worth of Air Soft guns from a retailer in Florida because they could "easily" be converted to machine guns????

Remember the UC San Diego Noose?
.....Oh the Irony almost hurts.....
The bit of emphasis is mine...makes the irony a bit clearer.
The UC San Diego student reportedly responsible for hanging a noose last week in a campus library issued a public, but anonymous, apology Monday and said she had no racist motivation.
The noose's discovery set off protests at a school that is already tense from recent racially charged episodes and triggered condemnations from UC leaders and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
In a letter published Monday on the front page of the UC San Diego student newspaper, the Guardian, the student wrote that the incident was "a mindless act and stupid mistake" and was not meant to recall the lynching of blacks.
"As a minority student who sympathizes with the students that have been affected by the recent issues on campus, I am distraught to know that I have unintentionally added to their pain," the student wrote. She was suspended Friday and remains under investigation for a possible hate crime.
Moral of the story? Well, my Children, sometimes a noose is just a noose, a prank is just a prank, and dumb is just dumb......not rascist.
