Late April Stuff That Interested me and Other Senseless Ramblings

Goodbye April, hello May .

If I did a "Though of the Day" segment or mention , it would be THIS.
With all the hullabaloo about gay marriage and how gays are wrecking marriage, my buddy Keith Larson asks "who's gonna save marriage from heterosexuals?"

Check out the indisputable PROOF of alien spacecraft monitoring events around our sun.

Check out this former top secret US Gubmint/NASA facility RIGHT in our back yard, up the road in the Pisgah National Forest. They are having an open house Saturday, May 5th.

The NFL Draft has taken place. If anything, the draft makes me pine for preseason and the regular season after only 2 months off. Why can't American Football be like soccer and be seemingly continuous throughout the year. Actually, the players cannot make it through the current season health wise and I'm in favor of actually shortening the season back to a 14 game season, with 2 off weeks spread out in the schedule.

The NBA's Charlotte Bobcats are the proud owners of the worst single season winning record percentage ever in the NBA.

Found THIS on the net _- SpaceX Falcon 9 engine test will be webcast live at spacex.com on Monday, April 30. The test is scheduled to begin at 2:30 PM ET/ 11:30 AM PT, with the actual static fire targeted for 3:00 PM ET/ 12:00 PM PT. Actual launch to space is currently targeted for May 7

F-22 Raptors Reportedly in UAE; Air Force Stresses 'Very Normal,' Non-Threatening Deployment. HAHAHA!

Now the Secret Service will have observers watching them. Wouldn't that kinda defeat the purpose? This and the soon-to-be hiring increase of female secret service members.All this and now they cannot drink at least 10 hours before duty nor have certain "guests" in their room overnight. And they can't visit non-reputable establishments while on duty or travelling for the US.

and finally, Campaign '12 rolls on!! I along with many people early on fell in "like" with Herman Cain early in the Republican primary process. I liked his business sense. I didn't care about the womanizing rumors, which were found to be totally untrue, BTW. I fell "out of like" with Cain when he stated on a couple of TV shows that we need to fix and restructure the things we have in government not in the constitution or causing our deterioration instead of ending them. I disagree with this strategy. The Republicans are touting the Paul Ryan plan which follows this path. The problem I have with Ryan's plan is that it's too slow and really doesn't accomplish much different than Obama's. Read it. http://www.roadmap.republicans.budget.house.gov/
I then tossed peer pressure and social acceptance into the wind and jumped on the Ron Paul bandwagon. Ron Paul predicted the housing bubble burst way back in 2003 and everyone laughed at him. He was the ONLY elected person in Washington expressing the concern over Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Ron Paul has always been my choice for the Republican or "3rd party" candidate for president. Ron Paul continues to draw large crowds. Larger than Romney or any other flavor by week Republican threat to Romney at times. In my opinion, Ron Paul has grown larger than the "where are they now?" tea party and is the most significant force in politics today.
Amidst the disillusionment I feel and see, among the ambivalence and "let's toe the line and vote straight 'whatever' party" mentality, Ron Paul is the only movement "moving". He's at the helm of this remarkable "thing" that will wind up as little more than a footnote. in history. Ron Paul is the only "authentic" candidate running in my humble opinion.
Do I agree with him on everything? No.

We disagree on the removal of Saddam Hussein. In my opinion, America is no more responsible for 9-11 than a loose, scantily clad, flirty person is to blame for getting raped' though I see the argument, I fail to share it.

Ron Paul's so called isolationist foreign policies have been skewed so far it's not funny.Though I disagree with some of the paths he'd point us in or take. I urge everyone to look at his website for complete understanding of what a Ron Paul presidency would entail and not depend of the popular sound bites and incomplete statements heard so far.

What say you?

Next week : The Avengers!!

Post 2k10 Election Sigh Of Relief!!

Thanks for all the phone calls, emails, and messages regarding my wife’s posting and the posting of others here and on facebook regarding “news” last week. I am humbled and very gracious. And Amy, you are right, BTW..


Dontcha miss the political ads? Well, the predicted Republican wins occurred. We’ll see in January and February whether or not anything actually begins. Does anyone else fine the predicted results of yesterday’s elections eerie? I mean, the results and the prior predictions are nearly exact. Is this just an example of one of those things the (evil) media gets right or something more nefarious? Where are the conspiracy theorists? Besides, the “Big 4”, Pelosi/Reid/Frank/Boxer was all reelected. Christine O’Donnell lost in Delaware. So big whoop, really. Despite what the headlines read today, I personally don’t believe anything is going to happen that will affect us in a meaningful way. During the month of October, I’ve heard Republicans refute this election was 1994/1996 all over again. Sure it’s not.

What a perfect storm this morning here at work. Hardware issues, software issues, email issues, other issues that have made a REAL mess of things this morning. And I’m working at a critical area managing the entire system. Couldn’t do it without that guys and gals out there out and about. I’ve never ever said on here where I work and officially omit it on facebook for a reason.

I know I’m a few days behind, but how about AMC’s “Walking Dead”? I loved it. How about you? Showtime’s ‘Dexter’ rocked as well. Did you see it?

Today in “Young Un” news, an 18-month-old boy survived after falling seven floors and bouncing off a Paris cafe awning into the arms of a passer-by. This was NOT a part of a movie stunt.

 And a 13 year old boy is a proud father in Spain. The 10 year old mother is reportedly doing fine!

California voters declined to make their trendsetting state the nation's first to legalize marijuana use and sales. Which to me, as someone who is NOT a pot smoker, is ridiculous?

How about those San Francisco Giants bringing the Bay City its first World Series?!?!?! You mean you didn’t know? Ohhh, you didn’t CARRRRRRE. I get it. I thought that girl the Giants had pitching for them was phenomenal!

Here’s a funny look at how famous people in American history affected certain comic book storylines.

How sad is THIS story? I mean does this matter? I mean, oh, never mind... Sheen returned back to work after his NYC wackiness, filing for divorce, etc as is nothing happened.

In “Wonder Woman” comic book move news, Tanit Phoenix is rumored to be the forerunner to portray Diana.  Man, if we could JUST go back 15 years and have Lucy Lawless be the main character. I believe Lynda Carter could and should play Wonder Woman's mom in the movie.

Also, here are some “high resolution” pictures from the upcoming ‘Captain America’ movie . I’m happy to see the amount of detail put into the look of the film.

The infamous Cohen brothers have remade the John Wayne cowboy classic "True Grit". It's set for a December 22, 2010 release.

SAY HEY TO ME! COMMENT! HATE
