The Minuteman

For some reason WLW and my blog are not cooperating at the moment.  The previous post was actually hand written, I know who want’s to hand write HTML anymore.  So I’m going to spend today straightening it out, and then get back to writing up part 3 which will be an intro to AC and the basics of power.

In the engineering world we often say the following in regards to Futility:

futility (n) \fyü-ˈti-lə-tē\: The act of doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.

Unsurprisingly our leaders in government do not seem to have ever heard of the word or understand it’s meaning.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress Wednesday that a new stimulus program is in the works that will entail additional asset purchases, the clearest indication yet that the central bank is contemplating another round of monetary easing.

The economy hasn’t budged even with all the money they’ve been throwing at it. They’ve actually started throwing enough money at the problem it’s making it worse. Instead of cutting back and trying to control spending and pulling back, they approached the problem like a sailor with his pay on liberty. Spending money on beer and women while wasting the rest. They dumped money into running guns across the Mexican border through the last stimulus, what is the next state sponsored terror?

Unemployment, by their crappy metrics, is still at an exorbitant high. Given all these problems their solutions are to spend more money we don’t have and tax the hell out of the people trying to make ends meet to do it.

News flash to everyone, it didn’t work the first time and it’s not going to work this time. But that isn’t what anyone wants to hear now is it. Some time’s the truth hurts.

Talk amongst yourselves.  I may or may not get the power series up tomorrow, I’ll work on it more today and tomorrow but I may move it to Saturday.  I’ve been busy and I’m stressing out on some projects I’m working on.

Seriously the TSA just needs to stop issuing statements considering it has become blatantly obvious they do not operate according to their own policies.  It is nothing more than sponsoring child molesters and pedophiles to prevent their arrest.  Don’t believe me, here’s TSA’s statement regarding pat downs of children under 12.

"After a thorough risk assessment and after hearing concerns from parents, we made the decision that a modified pat-down would be used for children 12 years old and under who require extra screening," TSA spokeswoman Kristin Lee said in a statement.

Pistole then modified that statement to the following:

Indeed, the only “change” to the TSA’s policy is that it now says it will “make every effort” to exempt children under 10, where as before it said all children under 12 were unequivocally exempt.

Don’t believe me, some TSA pedophile felt that a 6 year old boy heading to Disneyland on a surprise trip.  He got not one, but two pat downs, and did it severely enough to where he didn’t want to go anymore.

The better half saw two people in TSA uniforms in Pullman recently while filling up Lite.  I was a bit bummed I wasn’t there because I’ve reached the point where I have no issues with verbal harassment to make them feel uncomfortable.  If I’m not flying there is absolutely nothing stopping me from voicing my opinion of those jack booted thugs.  They are doing more than any other government agency to abuse the citizenry and turn this country into a police state.  If you see an TSA agent in uniform outside of an Airport, please make their lives as uncomfortable as they did to this little boy.  While you can’t get physical, you can make them feel ostracized.  They have created this us versus them atmosphere and it’s by time we start playing ball on our court.

Note: Do not get physical, just verbal, exercise your first amendment to cause them to be uncomfortable.  Now if while you are verbal, they resort to being physical, at that point feel free to defend yourself.  These ass hats want to spread to malls and searching vehicles while traveling, at that point they’re absolutely on our turf and it’s time to fight back.  When people who lived through the Soviet terror think that our country has turned into the USSR, it’s time to listen to those who have lived through the horror.

I’m finishing up the last of the prep work on the boat and am working on some MP3 playlists for the boat tomorrow while I cool off.  Any recommendations of must have music for the water?  I listen to just about anything but pop.  Forecast for tomorrow is 90s, water temps approaching 80, it should be a blast, just need a good soundtrack for it.  Drop your suggestions in the comments!

I picked up the tie’s for Joe for Mecca.  My truck bed is currently full of creosote packed timber.

That’s going to be dropped off on my way to the lake.  Hope everyone has an awesome weekend.  Send me any ideas you have for music for the boat.

I never really bothered to pay attention before, but there’s a LOT of Remington 700’s at Boomershoot.

Seriously, I just walked down the line taking pictures and I’m finding that most of them are 700’s. 

I know most of you won’t get most of it, but for those who do, this currently is what my life feels like.

Four years ago today I married my wife and best friend.

Yes that’s an eagle perched over my port shoulder.  And shortly there after she tossed me her bouquet and ran off.

No I haven’t forgotten, happy anniversary sweetie.
