No! We are still asleep!

Too far! The American people are too far from their sources of food! Say what?

More of the production and processing of our food is moving not just to another state but other countries! Some of those on the other side of the world!

Kind of like when we began to buy foreign oil we have stopped gardening and are buying vegetables, meat and citrus from all over the world!

We bulldoze orchards in order to build five acre ranchettes! We steal water needed for irrigation in order to promote land speculation and development in areas where there isn't enough water to begin with!

The Obama administration, like the Bush and Clinton administrations is discouraging the production of food for our own people through excessive and oppressive regulation. Kind of like the offshore drilling ban? But this practice goes much farther back than that!

Silly, simple-minded dupes have passed on the idea that American ethanol production is causeing food shortages and the smart folks are benefiting!

I've been telling people this for years to grumblings of "Sit down and shut up!"

And now I see food prices rising steadily and more people stealing and panhandling!

Yeah, your favorite "fear monger" was right all along!

Chuckle!

Strange times indeed!

Six o'clock and I haven't even dressed yet. Mother is feeling bad today so I stayed in all day working. Washing clothes, servicing vending machines and cleaning out the hall closet.
All anyone is talking about today is the debt crisis deal and the Norway shooting and bombings.
No one seems to care that if the debt limit is left alone and the country defaults the interest we pay on what we've already borrowed will shoot up and so will the interest on people's mortgages!
"Cut, cap and balance" seems not to make sense to democrats(sic) and establishment republicans have no intention of ever following it!
Meanwhile families are losing their homes and I see them on the side of the road selling everything they own to buy some food!
Here's a good phrase to laugh at: "The full faith and credit of the United States!" Pardon me while I barf!
We live in strange times!
Muslims are already whining about being pointed at first concerning the terrorism in Norway! Well, duh! What group of people cause the most terror in the world today?

From news reports...

Cut national spending...uh...$14 trillion in debt...cap what we can borrow...uh....we owe countries that hate us so....balance the budget...uh...yeah isn't that how we should live?

And didn't the president say everything should be on the table?

And yet he said he'd veto "Cut, cap and balance" before he even saw it!

Another Obama lie!

Is anyone surprised?

Wow! Finished mowing the orchard!

Irrigation water going. It looks good!

I shoveled a little manure over the wet spots to hold the moisture in...

Mmmmm! Hard work!

Wish my blasted feet were better!

In order to achieve a socialist utopia(An oxymoron indeed!) the capitolist system must be dismantled! This is right out of the Cloward/Pivin workbook for socialism.
One must create social unrest and institute class warfare and corporate America seems determined to help the situation along!
As I have continually defended the rights of the unborn and fought against the abortion mills thast have killed two generations of innocent babies, not to mention taxpayers, I have pointed out the fact that our president has steadfastly defended the butchery of mostly minority children! This has, by the broadest definition been literal racial genocide and ethnic cleansing.
And yet because I have dared speak out against this barbarity our president supports I have been labeled a "hater!"
Socialist utopias(chuckle) always bring about bondage to the state! History bears this out. Perhaps if we actually knew more about our president's education we could verify if he ever attended a history class!

What if...just what if...

What if...just what if...you were well-bested in a discussion concerning just about any subject...or...were proven to have lied or...perhaps...been factually incorrect about something you maintained as fact?
What if there were no personal consequences?
Consequences! I've been facing them all my life! "There's that SOB Schustereit!" I was called at breakfast one morning by a County Commissioner because I dared ask where some money went that an oil company gave the county for road repairs.
Oh, and there was the County Judge who entered false accusations about me into county records because I drew up a poster saying that anyone on county court who failed to support the troops should be horsewhipped and run out of town! Chuckle!
I SIGNED MY NAME TO IT! ENJOYED IT TOO!
However, today, in the world of anonymous blogging on is able to carry on an endless argument, be absolutely incorrect in whatever assertion, and just keep on keepin' on!
That is the world of blogging today and sadly it's the world embraced, nay, encouraged by my local paper, the Victoria Advocate!
This is cute; a fella named John Figer wrote a letter to the editor using numbers, I asserted, he knew were incorrect. I wrote a comment behind the letter asking where he got the numbers. Didn't answer. Asked again. No answer! Five more times I asked and no answer and then all of my comments were pulled. I called to ask why and was told I was "taunting!" I was told this by a fresh graduate of journalism!
Are we gettin' the picture yet?
Anonymity breeds cowardice and encourages the unflappable!

A drought of truth!

Wow! It's hot, dry and still out there! I shoveled up a wheel barrel of horse manure to help guide the irrigation water from the well into the pecan orchard.

My feet are hot and numb from the foot neuropathy and these Nikes I got from a construction dumpster could fit better!

Dry dryness of the ground is terrible. Working the pecan and citrus orchards always gives me tiome to think; to contemplate, to ponder.

I made the mistake of calling to issue a local immigration activist last year who was protesting the Arizona immigration law.

Oops! A fair discussion of the truth of the matter and my opinion got me profiled as another prejudiced anglo and banned from the blogs of the Victoria Advocate. Most amusing since the protests of the Arizona immigration law were all about profiling.

More amusing was the fact that in no way did the blog I posted violate Advocate user or editorial policy and anyone who says it did is a coward and a liar.

We have a drought in media today! A lack of truth and a fair discussion of the actual facts of a matter. Those who demand accuracy and truth in any matter are too dangerous to be heard from and therefore banned in an effort to silence them!

I shall not be silenced by self-important, obnoxious twits in love with the sound of their own voices and the pompous images they see in the mirror!

Yup, it's dry! Gotta go turn another valve in the orchard!

*Note please the photo shows the image of Mr. Tim Delaney. A real journalist whom I respect.

Multi tasking! I hate it!

I'm tired! I boiled up 10 pints of fig preserves today! Oh...and while doing that I cleaned house, mopped, swept, put toys in 2" capsules for my vending machines, made breakfast and lunch for mother, called the home health folks and ordered needful stuff for mother, turned valves in the orchard, disinfected the shower, gave mother her meds and I will be skinning the insulation from copper wire the rest of the evening in order to bring in some kind of income for today.

Sitting here writing this is really a little break. I did manage to hear that Muslim Democrat Congressman Keith Ellison whined that Republicans have no respect for women. Chuckle! This coming from a man whose religion advocates female genital mutilation, honor killing and beatings!

Tried to cook some meat from the local HEB store and for the third time in a few weeks the beef was too tough and inedible for even mother's lapdog!

And no surprise here; the meat from Wal Mart is just as bad! Did notice that Wal Mart and HEB, both, are downsizing the products in the packages while the prices increase.

Turned on the radio and found more inept, silly stuff concerning ethanol! Not being a fan of ethanol I still tire of the idiots out there saying ethanol takes food out of the food chain! Do these idiots think after the alchohol is extracted the corn mash just disappears? Dopey!

That corn mash goes right back into the food chain as animal feed! Sooooo, why is animal feed still rising when there is an abundant supply of it? Because people BELIEVE there's a shortage!

America is indeed in trouble! The USDA is working very hard to get farmers to grow less and as the population increases! Americans are growing farther away from the production of the food they eat every day! Most have forgotten how to either garden or put away a small supply of non-perishables!

People have too much time on their hands! Unproductive time not working! The idea of silly idiots fighting over a place in line to see the Casey Anthony trial is a testament to America's lost values and common sense!

Oops! Back to work! Also gotta put a new deck belt on the lawn mower!

There's a sucker born every minute!

This man, using the Cloward/Piven framework, is set about to destroy this nation! By the continued bankrupting of our economy, the continued butchering of the next generations of taxpayers in abortion mills and the bolstering of class warfare, this nation is finished!

DALLAS — "Thomas Pohl ran out of the test strips he needs to check his blood sugar weeks ago.

When the 67-year-old diabetic tried to get more, Pohl learned he'd have to pay for a three-month supply. Medicare has long provided these critical diabetes supplies for free.

"I was just not able to make the co-pay when I went in there to get them, so I went out and walked out without them," Pohl said. "As a result, I have not checked my blood sugar since about the 13th of June."

What's more, Pohl learned he could only get enough strips to test his blood sugar once a day, instead of twice, despite his doctor's prescription.

The new limits and charges for diabetics who don't take insulin are part of supply cuts designed to save millions of Medicare dollars.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are more than 25 million diagnosed diabetics, which means there's a lot of money to be spent — and saved — on diabetic supplies.

According to the new regulations:

"Medicare Part B covers the same type of blood sugar testing supplies for people with diabetes whether or not they use insulin. However, the amount of supplies that are covered varies. If you use insulin, you may be able to get up to 100 test strips and lancets every month, and one lancet device every 6 months. If you don't use insulin, you may be able to get 100 test strips and lancets every three months, and one lancet device every six months. If your doctor says it is medically necessary, Medicare will allow additional test strips and lancets.

"Medically necessary" means that services or supplies are needed for the diagnosis or treatment of your medical condition and meet accepted standards of medical practice.

These new federal changes affect every pharmacy and Medicare diabetic in the country. At Parkland Memorial Hospital, many patients have voiced concern and confusion about the new rules."

Rationing has started!

And to those folks who voted OBAMA: Sucker!

And sadder yet, to those who still support the unknown creep from corrupt Chicago: You're all insane!

About as insane as the suckers who campaigned for McCain!
