GOODBYE
This will be my last post here. I've moved on. I just couldn't take Bloggers crap anymore. If you would like to continue reading my wit and humor, head over to http://www.rightwingrightminded.modblog.com/. It's kind of sad to let this blog go. I've been here for a year and a half. But the constant not being able to post was driving me nuts. I'm not going to delete it. I still need the archives. I hope everyone likes the new home.

THE SAGA CONTINUES
I know most of you are probably getting sick and tired of me going on about my ModBlog blog and it's on again off again status. Well, this should be the last time. It looks like it may be on again. I think I got commenting thing worked out. But before I officially close this blog down, I want everyone to head over there and try to leave a comment on the post that's up. Make sure you read the post first, it tells you what you have to do. Don't worry, you don't need to create an account or anything. If everyone is able to leave a comment then I'm moving. Got my fingers crossed.

DAMN RIGHT
Sgt. William Epler has a great post up about how the working man/woman is being screwed over by their big-wig bosses. Smokers being fired, waitresses being told they can't gain any weight without being fired and so forth. In fact, I have my own screwjob to tell you about. Well, not actually mine, but my mother's. She's a nurses aid at a hospital and they just recently switched over to mandatory color coded scrubs that they have to wear. That's not the screwjob, they have to pay for them out of their own pockets. It cost her $120 for 3 tops and bottoms. If they don't have the scrubs they get sent home. Some up there can't afford them. This went into effect a couple of weeks ago, and I think there's at least one guy who still doesn't have them because he can't afford them. They didn't want these. They didn't have any say in whether or not to get them, yet they have to pay for them. That's messed up. I would say "Unionize", but the union is nothing more than a blackmail organization and I can't stand them.

I'M RICH
Got this in my GMail box today.

"Dear Christ,

This proposal is to you if you can assist me in all sincerity.Time is against.I work in a bank in Africa. I will give you other important information if I receive a positive reply from you. For security reasons I cannot disclose my full identity to you now until I am sure of your cooperation. I work in the operations dept where I serve as account officer to numerous customers. One of the customers whom I worked as his account officer has this secret about the source of his funds and confidence in me to help him. I will brief you once i am sure about you ok.
Because this man was good to me, I took it upon myself to travel to his country last month, to see if I could locate any of his close relations.I want you to keep this strictly confidential, his name is Vincent Arap Moi of Kenya. For more information you can visit these website:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3338023.stm
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3025878.stm
I sponsored this trip on my own and nobody in the bank knew I was undertaking the journey so I did not present any official report of my findings in Cote D' Ivoire. Now there are two things I could do with regards to the dead mans money. First, as his son's accounts officer, I could formally notify the bank authorities that the man is dead and has no next of kin.
In this case the money would be forfeited to the government after some time. As a matter of fact this is the proper thing I am supposed to do.
Another thing I can do is to arrange for someone else, a foreigner,to act as the next of kin of the late man so that he will claim the money.This is the option that I can do to help anybody and myself since the money actually is public fund due to the fact that the late president was as close to the late brutal military president that looted government treasury and that is why I have chosen to do it. I want you to be my partner. All you would have to do is act as the next of kin of the dead man and the whole money in the account will be transferred to your account. As the accounts officer to the late man's son, I have all the necessary documents that you will require to claim the money in the account.

The total money in the account is USD17 million. Your share will be 30% which is USD5,100,000. My own share will be 69%which is USD11,730,000. We shall keep 1% which is USD170,000 for expenses.

Reach me immediately by mail,also in my private email Address: drjohnson1@walla.com so that I can give you further details.Also provide me your direct tel/fax to reach you and let me know if you have a good private or offshore account
that can carry this sum of money

Yours truly.
Dr. Johnson Black."

NEW BLOG GONE
Well, my dreams are dead. Well, I wouldn't go that far. But the new blog is gone. It was almost perfect, except for the part where you had to create your own blog just to leave a comment or use the chatbox. Oh well, I guess I'll stick with Blogger. In case anyone would like to see it, http://www.rightwingrightminded.modblog.com.
Goodbye ModBlog. However, I'm going to keep it just in case they ever come to their senses and fix that.

NEW BLOGS ADDED
I've added four more blogs to the list. GenXrepublican, BoltActionHero, Adonia Rambles On and The Right Dish. Welcome to the Bloggerhood you all. Have a look around and see if you can't find something you like.

MY NEW BLOG II
The new blog may be out. It doesn't look like you're able to leave comments without having to set up your own blog with them first and I can't get Haloscan to work with it. Damn it.

MY NEW BLOG
I've finally had it with Blogger. I'm tired of the slow post speed, when I can post that is. For example, the post below. I tried that last night and, just as I would expect from Blogger, it wouldn't post. I finally got it up this morning. So I've found a new home. I'm working on the coding now and hopefully I'll have it up and ready sometime this week. It's going to be a stripped down version of this one. Not as many pictures to load. Which is good news for those of us still trapped with dial-up. The coding on the new blog is nothing like here, it's a little more difficult, so I may not be able to have any pictures in the sidebar. But I'm trying to keep the flag at least. So until I'm done with it posting here will be lighter than usual.

OH MY ACHING EARS
My poor ears hurt. I just got done watching the movie Eurotrip, funny as hell by the way, and they had a cover of The Who's My Generation. Done in French. The horror. The horror. Also, I've added a new picture of myself. That's me sitting at my computer listening to The Smokehouse Blues on 97.5 KMOD on that silver radio behind me. The blues always puts me in a good mood. See my smile?

DEATH OF THE JEDI

Master Yoda
For some reason I had an overwhelming urge to post a picture of Master Yoda. It could be because of Deo's post or maybe the fact that we're closing in on the May 19th released date of the possibly rated PG-13 Episode III. That's right, PG-13. For those that don't know, all the Star Wars movies have been rated PG for he whole family. But Revenge Of The Sith may be getting a PG-13 rating because of the darker tone than the other five movies. Is anyone else as pumped about this movie as I am? You all just don't know how big of a Star Wars nerd I am. I haven't been this excited about a movie since Debbie Does... I mean The Matrix.

AN ALL AROUND IDIOT
First it's the little Eichmann's reference, then it's the painting incident, and now it's plagiarism. Damn, "Mental Ward" Churchill is fast becoming one of my favorite people. Thanks John.

"ARTWORK": WACKO JACKO
As we all know, Michael Jackson claimed that he had a sore back yesterday and had to go to the hospital. Some are saying that it was all a hoax because Jackson didn't want to face his accuser in court. Well, your humble blogger as the exclusive picture that proves Jackson was in the hospital.

"NEW" BLOG
I've added another blog the list, or should I say re-added. Our old buddy Jake is starting his blog up, again. What does this make, three or four times now? Anyway, it's called Breaking News now. Some may be asking why I put it on the top of the list rather than the bottom. That's because when I first started this blog his was the first one I linked to. Hopefully he'll get commenting up so he and John K can have it out there. And Za, if he keeps it going this time I think you'll like it. He's a Republican bashing Socialist. I mean just check out his first post. Welcome BACK to the Bloogerhood Jake. I'd say have a look around, but that would be pointless.

ARE WE GAINING FRIENDS?
The following post was submitted by reader John K. The views may not be the same one's I have. If you have a problem with what's in the post, take it up with him, not me.
First off let me say I hate Blogger with a passion. If Blogger were a human, I'd take a baseball bat to it's head. I've been trying to post since 10AM and this stupid piece of crap has been having trouble. And the real bad part is that Google, who owns Blogger, keeps saying that nothing's wrong. I even went and set up a blog with Livejournal, but I'm not too happy with it's layout. I'll play around with it some more and maybe I'll be able to get it to something I like and finally more away from Blogger. Anyway, back to the post.

It seems that public views of America in Muslim countries is changing. In a recent poll conducted Feb. 1-6 of this year, more people in Muslim countries favored our War On Terror than opposed it. Here are some of the findings of the poll:

~For the first time ever in a major Muslim nation, more people favor US-led efforts to fight terrorism than oppose them (40% to 36%). Importantly, those who oppose US efforts against terrorism have declined by half, from 72% in 2003 to just 36% today.

~For the first time ever in a Muslim nation since 9/11, support for Osama Bin Laden has dropped significantly (58% favorable to just 23%).

~65% of Indonesians now are more favorable to the United States because of the American response to the tsunami, with the highest percentage among people under 30.

~Indeed, 71% of the people who express confidence in Bin Laden are now more favorable to the United States because of American aid to tsunami victims.

FALLEN HERO
Like I said on Monday, once a week I'll be doing a small profile of a soldier, not necessarily American, who has given their life so that millions in Iraq and Afghanistan may know what it's like to live in freedom. It won't have anything to do with their lives, because I don't know anything about them, but rather it'll just be who they were. And there won't be any details on how they died. That would be showing no class what so ever on my part.

RANDOM LYRICS-THE LEGENDARY SHACK SHAKERS
I know I usually stay with the the artist of the month theme with my random lyrics but once and awhile a song comes along that needs to be highlighted.
Well I got 10-4, 10-8 and I got the 10-36
I'd like to stick around and get my miniskirt kicks
Huh!

You may know this song from the Geiko commercial with the man and the gecko in the car going through the tunnel bobbing their head to a song.

THE TEAM'S NAME? THE FIGHTING MOSQUITOES
And you thought sex with the students was wrong.

GAS
I tried posting this story this morning, but it wouldn't post. We've all seen the signs

and heard their arguments about how the only reason we went into Iraq was for the oil. Here's a question. If we were stealing the oil like the anti-freedom marchers seem to think, never minding OPEC, why is gas so high? It's almost logical. Cheap, or "free", oil means cheap gas. Gas has just broke the $2/gallon mark in the great state of Oklahoma. But I still think we may have the lowest prices in the country. Here's something I want everyone reading this to do. Let me know what you're paying for a gallon of gas in your area. I want to see if anyone is profiting from the Iraqi oil other than the Iraqi people themselves.

SOMETHING NEW
Starting Wednesday I'm going to be doing something new on the blog. Once a week I will be doing a small profile on a U.S. soldier who has paid the ultimate sacrifice in the War On Terror. We know what these men and women are doing for us and for the Afghan and Iraqi people, but for those of us who don't know anyone fighting in the Middle East right now we have the luxury of being able to sit in our nice soft chairs and only see it on the news. We don't know the loss and hurt that their families are going though. This is my small way of bringing these heroes to light, which they all deserve. However, if any of my readers who do have someone fighting in Afghanistan or Iraq, and would rather I didn't do this, let me know and I won't do the posts. I don't want to hurt anyone with these posts.
