Inglourious Basterds

After watching the movie again, and, having watched the scurrying demorats, I have an idea. In the movie, some of the Nazis are given a choice. Die by baseball bat, or, get a swastika carved into their foreheads for all to see. So they can never deny which side they served. Now, I won't be quite so barbaric. I propose all demorats who voted for obamacare, which was every last lowlife one of them, while chanting yes we can, be forcibly restrained and have I VOTED FOR OBAMACARE tattooed in the middle of their forehead. That way, even the simpletons who don't bother to listen to the debates, yet head out to vote, can see who voted for the POS and the demorats can't pretend they had nothing to do with it. The democrats are already starting to line up with the republicans to strip parts of obamacare, and they should not be allowed any credit for patching what they passed. It would be grand to be able to make sure everyone remembers all involved with the debacle. Some, like Pelosi, come from such socialist areas, there is no cure. But others come from areas which still retain some gray matter and may decide to reward the democrats with a swift career change. I hope for change of a different sort in 2014. May we take back the senate, pleaseeee.

A little math.....

So far, roughly 100,000 have signed up for Obama care. I have lived in Indiana my whole life, so, I tried to compare that number to a population size. That number matches the total population of Hammond Indiana and throw in Highland's (a little town adjoining Hammond) total population. Five of those people live in DC. Five. FIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obama, being the fool that he is, is flying here and there and everywhere, selling his failed bill. Flying around in air force one, trying to sell something no one wants. I would like to point out that DC's population is 630,000 people. Six times the total that have applied so far. How about Obama stays home and tries to sell his wares locally before going on a road trip. Heck, he may even stop by his office in the evening and do some work. He may be able to sit down with all of congress, not just the dimocrats, and come up with a budget. Heck, we would be saving a ton just having air force one parked for a bit. Millions have lost their insurance due to his bill, but one hundred thousand sign up. Hmmmm. I do believe I have had enough change. Sure hope people are smart enough next year to reward all the dimocrats that were chanting yes we can while jamming this Obamanation down America's throat. Instead of looking at what they can do, they should have worried more on what they should do.

Last of the nice weather?

Only a one day weekend this round, but, it was in the 60's and it's November. I really don't think there will be another 60's weekend for a while. They said we might see a dusting of snow Tuesday, yuck. Need to move a little further south. It was a nice day.

Got out and enjoyed the weather for a bit, and then kicked back and watched some of the Band of Brothers series on HBO. Saw on the news, the last few living veterans of the Doolittle raid had a get together for the 70th anniversary of their mission. Only four of them left, and only three fit to travel. It still amazes me what they did back in WWII. The technological breakthroughs and the way people came together. The way industries at home changed over to support the war effort. The way the nation pulled together in a concerted effort is just amazing. The rapid advancements made in weapons and transportation. Radars debut. The first semi auto rifle, which I am lucky enough to have a garand, was a major advancement from the trusty bolt action. Not too many people left from that great generation. I hope they have great reunion and can enjoy a few more to come. Hats off and many thanks to all vets everywhere.

Congrats???

How on earth does Chistie qualify as a republican? Come on. Even the head demorat congratulates him. Not to mention, Obama failed to back the dem opposing him. If 2016 is a choice between him and Hillary, I will not be voting that year. I will be at home curled up in the  fetal position whimpering uncontrollably.

So SO gun show

Parking lot was packed, but the show wasn't too crowded. Maybe everyone brought two cars : )  Nothing I couldn't live without. I picked up a couple more AR mags. I found some mag puls for twelve bucks a pop. Figure when Hillary gets in in 2016, I can sell some of them for a ridiculous amount of money.

Weather wasn't too bad today. Got some chores caught up. Shot over to Lowes and picked up some more LED light bulbs. I had a socket go out on my ceiling fan last month. I picked up a new fan light kit with LED lighting and installed it a couple weeks back. It is as bright as the four forty watt bulbs that it replaced, but only burns twelve watts all together. Rather impressive. Probably put one in the bedroom as well. I like the fact that I don't have to change bulbs out all the time. The LED bulbs I picked up today I am putting in some of the other rooms in the house. Didn't think to pick up a couple for the outdoor lights. They go out all the time.

Two day weekend is still not long enough. Better than one, but, still not long enough.

Decent Saturday

Weather was soggy, but still had a fun day. Put on my monkey suit reserved solely for weddings and funerals. I live in blue jeans. I head out to my buddies wedding. Typical lack of planning, I didn't google it ahead of time and I manage to arrive at the very last minute. I no sooner sit than the ceremony starts. Wedding went well and headed over to the reception. My buddy is a real cutup. The guests walking into the reception are greeted by a mooning scarecrow. I meant to get a picture on the way out, but forgot. They had a wall of pictures with the usual questions to and answers from the bride and groom. They were hilarious. They do make a great couple. Terrific sense of humors and they compliment each other well.

Sat with a group from work and got to meet their spouses. Also met some of the people that have left where I work to go to a company downtown. It was great catching up with them again. The one kid who left flew a model plane through the shop with a farewell banner attached to the tail. I wish I had had a smart phone so I could have gotten a video of it. He waited until minutes before end of shift in case someone in charge had an issue with it. Fortunately, the bosses don't arrive as early as we do, so it was a good laugh.

Didn't hit the gun shows yesterday, so, I will be off shortly to check out the shows. There is a spot shoot at the local catholic church that a lot of the people at work attend. May head that way to check out the fun. Weather is still cold, wet and gloomy, but just make the best of it.

Two day weekend

I managed to get out the door without getting drafted, just barely. A couple other guys were recruited, but I lucked out. I figure everyone should get at least one two day weekend a month.  Just relaxing a bit this morning. Have two gun shows to go to in town, and then a wedding to attend.

Back to using the original non-stick pans. I picked up some cast iron pans a while back at a flea market. Took a while to season them well. They work great now. Takes a bit of getting use to, but they work out great. Just can't scour them and have to remember to oil after each use, but if you keep them up, things don't stick and no scouring needed. Great for cooking in the oven as well. Hope to get a cast iron dutch oven at one of the flea markets.
