View Article  Email: His, Mine, and Theirs

I was trying to organize my old emails folders in the last few days and realized I have a lot of reorganinzing to do.  By "my" email folders, I am referring to both mine and my husband's--since he wouldn't know an email if it bit him in the ass and left a hickey the size of New Zealand.  Clue--my guy doesn't get email, even if 'his' email comes to 'him'; I am his personal secretary and I read it to him; in his spare time, he reads how to tan hides like Neanderthals and how homo erectus chipped spearheads.

An amazing amount of his email is from female employees that he doesn't know except from time sheets.  Most he finds extremely embarrassing.  Some he finds flattering.  And in NO case does he ever respond.  Fact is, he doesn't know how to respond to email, and isn't interested in finding out how to respond to email (that is my job).  Many of these female employees really have no clue exactly what type of person he is, and would be uncomfortable with who he really is--and he is very well aware of that fact.  My husband isn't very civilized, or shows much citified behavior.  Of course, he would have been right at home during the last Ice Age.

And though I have worked on computers since 1978 (the very Dawn of Time, by some accounts), I am fine with my husband's rather backward traits.  I have learned the value of his knowledge.  Besides, whenever I find an arrowhead at the ranch, at least I know what I am looking at now.

View Article  "Today we march, tomorrow we vote." Er, how?

If illegal immigrants are marching, then saying that they will be voting, isn't that voter fraud?  Exactly who is letting them vote?

Frankly, the protests aren't making me feel like they belong in the US; the protests are making me feel like the US has been invaded by a hostile force.  Before I was ambivalent about a fence.  Now I am all for it.

View Article  Rooster attacks 4 year old girl and pierces her windpipe

A 4 year old girl had to be airlifted after being attacked by a large white rooster

Her uncle, Ben Angel, told smh.com.au that Grace and her two sisters were "feeding the chooks" when the rooster went "berko".

"It's gone off its tits. I don't know what it was doing. You hear of cranky roosters but I've never heard of one actually attacking anyone like that," Mr Angel said.

"It's just a dumb bloody white rooster. I didn't think roosters were that violent actually."

He said Grace's father would have wasted little time in destroying the rooster.

"I don't think the rooster's alive. Knowing my brother, he would've smashed it."

I hope the poor little girl makes it, she even has a collapsed lung.

In my years of chicken raising, I have always chopped the roosters who went bad.  The only time I didn't, was with Jessica's champion D'Uccle Mille Fleur.  That little bastard jumped into my face, grabbed me by the skin around my eyebrow, and wouldn't let go.  I had to choke him into unconciousness to get him loose, and was going to chop him, but Jessica begged me to spare him, since he was her last rooster.... 

 

View Article  CNN fails in framing the question

CNN QuickVote poll asks

Do you think the rallies held across the nation will sway politicians' views on immigration reform?

As usual, CNN just doesn't get it.  None of the politicians who support the more restrictive laws care what people protest about in other districts and other states.  They know what their voters in their own districts and states are saying....and that is what the congress critters hear. 

And face it, the biggest protest was in LA.  One step up from San Francisco as the Freakzoid town from Hell.  Sometimes I have wondered if it was ever part of the US; with this protest, it even looks like a Paris suburb, though mostly cleaner and the people are better dressed....
