Score another for Bush

Here's another example of how delusional some of the right wingers can be- a tongue-in-cheek article from Bush's first days in office. Click on the title or copy the link:

That is some gall!

About two months ago, Shannon and I ate dinner somewhere. That night I was crippled with pain.I thought it was heartburn, the reason is, I rarely get heartburn. I'm one of the lucky people that rarely gets heartburn or allergies of any kind. So I sat up all night, thinking it was heartburn, realized it was 5am and went to work.
About a week or two later, same thing happened. When it happened the third time, I found a new Dr here in the new burb. He suggested taking a three week routine to see if it is acid reflux.
Well, I guess it wasn't acid reflux. I called the office and they scheduled an Ultrasound to look at something. I went in at 8:30am. Drove to work afterwards and received a call from the Doctor. Here's the cool part(IMHO), The tech did the ultrasound, made a zip file of all the images, then emailed them to my Dr, who called me 4 hours later to let me know that I had 3 large gall stones and needed to have my Gall bladder removed. 15-20 years ago, someone would have to process the images, then make prints, snail-mail them to the Doctor, wait for him to go thru his mail to call me and let me know what they found. All the while I would have missed another 2-3 days of work.
So he refers me to a surgeon, who scheduled the procedure.I was put under abt 1pm, woke up at 3:30,and I was home at 8pm. After downing half a bottle of vicodin I'm back about 70%.

Is this how it works?

As Sen. John McCain bowed out of the historic presidential election Tuesday night, he urged his supporters to bridge their differences with Sen. Barack Obama and unite for the good of the country.


Supporters of John McCain react as their candidate concedes in Phoenix, Arizona.

"Sen. Obama and I have had and argued our differences, and he has prevailed. No doubt many of those differences remain. These are difficult times for our country. And I pledge to him tonight to do all in my power to help him lead us through the many challenges we face," he said.

Just the mention of the Democrat's name elicited boos from the sea of teary-eyed McCain supporters at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix, Arizona.

Members of the dejected crowd shouted "no way!" when McCain promised to work with Obama.

"Let's just hope to God he wins," he said. "Let's be honest, with the standing in the rest of the world of America today, with what George Bush has done to your country, it is inconceivable to me that Americans would vote in another Republican. It would be kind of really, really weird if they win again. You just sometimes wonder, what if, just what if (John) McCain did win. The signals that would send to the rest of the world!"

Dead Mac attack

My mac died again. Please feel sorry for me.

Goodbye old house

Friday Shannon and I went to our closing, everything went well. We stopped for a celebratory dinner afterwards, then looked at house stuff at a couple stores. We have another 7 days before the move so we are trying to resist buying a lot of stuff- so we went home. Abt 10 pm we were both doing a little channel and internet surfing when the apocolypse came down. A tornando touched down about 5 miles from our house. We were lucky- the only damage we dealt with was 2 ft of water in the basement. My favorite strat, amp, and pedalboard were floating in the water. I can't wait to move.

Closing in

So the Wife and I-(it's not legal yet-sorry mom and grandparents, but she's my wife to me) are meeting with a bunch of suits on Friday to sign our names over 600 times. It's called a closing, not sure what it is-Shannon handles that end of the knowledge department. This will be our first home. At 36 I decided what was important to me was my family, a nice home and the security of a good job. NOT worrying about free beers at a crappy bar gig or whether or not we get free food.
Pretty excited about having a nice place to call my own. The house is a production home, about 4 years old and in perfect shape.There are real hardwood floors and a nice unpainted crown moulding on the main floor. We can do four things to help with the equity:change the linoleum floors in the kitchen and 2.5 baths to a simple tile,paint the main floor walls and trim, deck on the back, and privacy fence.
I guess I am going to try and post pics of our trials and tribulations. Were moving in on June 8Th and 9Th if anyone wants to help.

One less Right Winger

NOW WE CAN PRY IT FROM YOUR COLD DEAD HANDS.

Movie Geek

Some Movies I dig:

Goodfellas
Gotta start with one of the best. The screenplay is close to the actual story-(Read WISEGUY or Henry Hill's follow up) and the camera work is perfect. Pesci.

Glengarry Glen Ross
Probably the best casting job ever. Pacino and Spacey, Jack Lemmon-when he pretends to be the client...Alec Baldwins cameo and David Mamets screenplay." First prize: A Cadillac El Dorado, second prize- a set of steak knives"

Hoffa
Nicholson's best performance IMHO. Watch old recordings and films of Hoffa and Jacks performance is spot-on. Danny Devito directed an excellent film.Also written by David Mamet. One note- Devitos character was written into the screenplay.

The Shawshank Redemption-The Green Mile
I put them together since they are both written and directed by the same guys- Stephen King and Frank Darabont. Camera movement, character development and story.

JFK
Say what you will about Costner and Oliver Stone. I loved this movie, I piss off my Fiance' every time I see this on the guide because the closing arguments scene, and the interview with the prisoner portrayed by Kevin Bacon are damn near perfect. Oliver sure can edit. He was doing all those crappy music video tricks long before anyone." How do you know who yo daddy is??-cause yo mama told you so!!"

Slingblade
3 words: Dwight Fucking Yoakam

The Professional
Natalie Portmans second film. The sequence of the girl coming home from the store to find her family murdered,knocks on Leon's door, when he opens the door, the light and music cue perfectly. Gary Oldman is always perfect

Thats a short list for now

please, turn your amp up.
