Must Be Global Warming

Winter storm blew in last night.
Half a foot of snow.
Boisterous winds.
Still rockin' and rollin' this morning.
Wind roaring outside my window, sounds like the surf crashing in at Two Lights.

More snow, sleet and rain on the way.
Recipe for disaster on a whole lot of different fronts.

The mares and more vulnerable horses are inside.
The bachelor band is outside, but they have access to a good shelter.

Stifling an urge to go back to bed and sleep until March.

Riddle:
Q. How is snow like sex?

Hear No Evil, Cyrano Evil

I carry my adornments only on my soul
Deck'd with deeds instead of ribbons
Mantled in my good name
And crowned with the white plume of freedom.

Twin Tyrants

You thought Mr. Hope was going to be different from Mr. Dope?
Guess again.

Both of these men share the same fundamental belief that the United States has some kind of "right" to use force to take what it wants from anyone, anywhere, at any time.

That's a familiar belief.

It's what rapists believe.


Both these sob's should go to jail.
But I guess the cops are too busy tasering 10-year-olds to arrest mass-murderers.

If that doesn't (as brother Marvin sang) "make you wanna holler," then nothing will.

No More Mr. Niceguy

Yesterday Autumn left with no word of farewell and left not a trace behind.
Unequivically Winter now.
But only 15 days until the reversal of fortunes begins.
We can tough it out.

Yeah? Go ahead...

Somebody somewhere
In the heat of the night
Looking pretty dangerous
Running out of patience...

HELL, JUST STRING 'IM UP, BOYS!

So Khalid Shaikh Mohammed goes on trial, eh?

He confessed to being the "mastermind" behind the World Trade Center arson/murders on 9/11/01, eh?

Big surprise.

He was water-boarded 130 times.

130!

I’ll bet you a bottle of your favorite hooch I can water-board you ONCE and have you confessing to shooting both Kennedy brothers, King and Lincoln.

Attorney General Holder says he’s confident he can get a conviction.

There’s another big surprise.

We’ll convict a guy who was denied legal counsel

We’ll convict a guy who was tortured into a confession.

We’ll convict a guy who has already been publicly judged guilty by the AG and the President.

And if we don't convict him?

He still won’t go free according to Holder and Obama.

Excuse my French, but Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot, folks????

If he’s acquitted, they’ll keep him in prison anyway????

How do you like that for “liberty and justice for all?”

Yeah, we're a real beacon of freedom to the world, all right.

And to top it off, this show-trial travesty will be all over the "news" for the whole world to see.

If we’re not careful, this circus will make us look like exactly what we are.
