The lights are on, but nobodys home.

This blog is not abandoned. I've just been unable to set down and type out the stupid things I think about. More simpleokie on the way, just don't know when.

Still holds true today.

The way the Democrats, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are acting today is nothing new. Check out this quote.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)

stunts

These two guys are athletic. This is much better than a bunch of guys trying to hurt each other.

This is my country.

That's right. And you politicians have to answer to us, the folks that have loaned you the power to speak for us. I will not forget the one's that tried to cram an immigration bill that amounted to amnesty down the throats of the American public. But guess what. We the people spoke up.We said NO! We said HECK NO! So now all the Republicans that voted for this amnesty bill can be targeted and removed from office. Lets replace them with conservative Republicans. I don't know who is more shocked, Paris Hilton, being put in jail, or our Senate being forced to vote for what we, the American people want.

Is laziness a disability?

There's an unwritten rule that certain people can park in front of Walmart. Really! It's true. The next time your there, check it out. I've seen it so many times now that it's halfway expected. A car will pull up along the curb at the front of the store. One or two people will get out and go in, the other guy will just sit there, music thumpin, parked in front of Walmart. Nobody is going to go up to him and tell him to hold it down, or to move. There's a certain amount of entitlement to that parking spot.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing Walmart, or the people that shop there. I are one!
But, someone needs to explain to them, that just because you are in your fuzzy slippers, and your pants wont seem to cover your butt, doesn't entitle you to have your ride just chill, curb side.
I guess it bothers me because, I would never just pull up to the front of the store and kick back and wait for my wife to run in to the store. It says no parking, its a fire lane, so I don't park there. I just drop her off and drive around the parking lot a few thousand times waiting for a spot to come open up at the front.( I cant complain how long it takes, because one time she dropped me off to run into Bass pro shops for couple of things, Nuf said.)
These same slackers park in the handicapped parking too. They know its reserved for people that have special needs. But that don't matter if you got one of them handicap placards. No, these perfectly healthy people hang it around their rear view mirror, and its like a parking pass for dead beats.
These folks are just plain lazy, and they feel entitled to be that way. It wont be long before some liberal special interest group tries to claim laziness is a disability.

immigrants

Let me get this straight. The U.S. has laws against people from Mexico coming into America illegally, but has never really enforced them. Right?
Now they want to punish business's that hire these guys. If they dont want us to hire them, how about YOU GUYS enforcing our border laws to keep these illegals out. YOU have failed to do your job, and now are going to place the blame on businesses, make them prove that the guys you let across the border are legal.
I have no problem with rounding up illegal immigrants, make them pay to get legal. Thats what most want to do anyway. The problem is that the hassle of dealing with both our government and the Mexican government, which is corrupt with a capitol C, makes it imposable to get legal, so the easiest thing for them to do is just live here and hope you dont get caught.
America has to watch its borders, but punishing business that employ these people is no way to insure that they wont get across the border, that job is the job of the U.S. government and you have failed miserably.

Democrats surrender to terrorists

Well I guess the war is over for the Democrats. Today, the brilliant Democratic Senator Harry Reed announced that the war is lost. So it's official, the Democrats have lost two wars in a row. First the Vietnam war, and now the war on terrorism. Mean while the rest of the country will have to continue on without them. Yes the Democratic party has abandoned our Military and our Nation while we are engaged in a war against an enemy determined to kill us all. So, from this day on, " April 19, 2007." You Democrats will be responsible if we get attacked again. Your unwillingness to protect our country is sickening. People of America Say your prayers.

Global BS

I just saw a report on the local weather concerning global warming. I hate to be the one to bring you this shocking news, but here goes.

Hurricane season this year as a result of global warming.

Scenario # 1. Warmer oceans will create many severe hurricanes this year.
Scenario # 2. Wind shear will keep hurricanes from forming.

Yes, it's shocking, I know, but try to be brave. By the way. Can I be a scientist? That job seems so easy. Here let me show you.

simple okie's scientific forecast for OU football.

Scenario # 1. OU will go undefeated and win the National title.
Scenario # 2. OU will lose a game, maybe more.

Go ahead, try and prove us scientists wrong.

Imus a uniter

Don Imus has done more to unite blacks across the nation in one day, than the reverends Sharpton and Jackson have in their lives. He lit a fire under the tails of the "black leaders". And man did they jump. The whole world knew about the movement, that Imus's comments set in motion. Then these two snake oil salesmen Jackson/Sharpton jumped in to push it to the limit. They really didn't even need to.
Common sense tells most people that you shouldn't call those gals nappy headed ho's. But Don Imus has to entertain people. So he says and does outrageous things. But the reaction to it has been laughable. Snoop dog explaining why he can call his bitches, ho's, but Imus cant, was a great moment in black history. Rev. Sharpton got so caught up in the lime light that he said he was going to clean up the language in rap music. OK Al, lay down the megaphone and slowly back away. You would have a better chance of making black guys pull up their pants. Good luck

American Idol, my take

Been a long time since my last post. New jobs will do that to you, I guess. I have been able to watch American Idol though, and here is my take on whats happening.
The best singer is Melinda Doolittle, you know the one that acts like she has never been told she is good before. That act is getting very old, but she can sing. Next is Lakisha, she has a very big body and a voice that is even bigger. She's very talented but she never takes the advice of the featured artist that works with the idols. Guess she think they aint all that. 3rd is Jordan, very talented 17 yr old. I hope she wins, but I doubt she will.
After that the field drops off quickly. Chris Richardson is good, Brian Lewis is good, they will make a living singing probably, but cant win. The other guy, Phil Stacy, is good too. But he cant win either.
Then theres Haley. She can sing a little, but she is eye candy, thats her true talent . Nothin wrong with that, guy are voting for her because they want to see what she wears next week. Gina, the "rocker" has had her moments, but come on. Diana Ross tried to tell her that she needed to enunciate on the song she did that week. In other words, YOU CANT SING WORTH A CRAP WITH A TONGUE PIERCING. nBut nshe nstill nkeeps non ntrying nto nsing nwith nit nin!! Ny Ny Nina.
Then there's Sanjaya. He just plain sucks. But people, who ever they are, keep voting for him.
Good for him, except that he will always be known as the Idol that sucked, but everyone voted for. You know Simon and them hate him but they cant keep people from voting for him. I wonder if the show would pay him off to quit, they may have to if he keeps on surviving. I think its bad karma on Simon for telling that one guy he looks like a monkey.
