April 19th Fifteen Years After

Sadness and slow tears.
Catharsis or just a cafard?
Inarticulate this time.
Watched a special about Tim McVeigh's audio tapes a writer made of him.

McVeigh talked and talked,
but I never heard him say...why...I want to know what seed planted by whom grew that demonic cyst that replaced his heart.
I heard him claim to be a proud solider....in who's army..of what cause?

He never gives us an answer, just quotes for his personal place in history that are meaningless.

Somehow the word sociopath just doesn't cover it.

Wild Horses

Wild horses. The BLM graciously lets ferrel horses and donkeys to roam our public lands.

I always enjoy seeing these guys when I roam the out back of Western America. Most times they are too far away or too skittish for me to get close enough for a photo. Sometimes I get lucky. These two were West of Laramie Wyoming two weeks ago grazing on God-knows-what cause I could not see anything edible.

Yes, that is snow on the ground.

Next month I've been invited to the barrier islands off North Carolina where another wild American horse roams. I've been told I'll need a sand-dune-Jeep and a lot of luck to get good photos of them as well. I'll rent the jeep and see if I can court the luck.

Tea Party Types Cheer Baby Killer McVeigh

Hannity calls tea party GOPers “Tim McVeigh wannabees” — and they cheer!

HANNITY: "When you think about the vast majorities that they have in Congress and they had to bribe, backroom deals, corruption, that’s all because the tea party movement, the people — all these Tim McVeigh wannabes here."


I walked in the blood that day.

I attend the funerals.

I buried the dead that died afterwards and never got counted in the totals.

They want to be Tim McVeigh!

That might be arranged.

Where Is MSNBC?????

We usually think of TV ratings as something control by the viewer from their home.

But if you are not allowed to tune into a particular cable channel? Then, it is not you making the ratings, but the provider of the cable itself deciding for you. Funny, Americans are shitface incited that some health care law would get between them and their doctor, but unconcerned that some cable corporate conglomerate routinely gets between them and their information and understanding of reality.

Within the last year I have traveled into the mid-South, Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, & Texas. I've traveled in Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, & Missouri. Recently I've been in Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, and Oregon.

I find that Fox News is all over the place. In the motels and hotels I have stayed in as well as on the TVs in eating and drinking places and reception area for doctors and tire companies. When I go to my motel/hotel room and look on the TV channel listings, Fox is always there. CNN is often there as well. Roughly 80 to 90% of the time MSNBC is not.

Someone has decided that I need to see the Republican pseudo-conservative crap ladled out by our Australian Invader, but not my preferred liberal biased MSNBC.

Someone is standing between me and my information and filling the unsuspecting consumer of their product with Fox's swill.

You know if you feed a hog a balance diet of good stuff they love it, but if you feed a hog a diet of leavings and swill they grow to prefer that to the good stuff even though it is not good for them or for the farmer feeding them.

So is it the cable providers that are between me and my news? Is it the motel/hotel owners that have decided I need more swill than substance in my news? I mean if you aren't allowed to watch MSNBC then how will you ever know what they are saying? Freedom of speech? Not hardly! More like corporate control of access to speech.

You know back in the 1960s I took an oath to uphold the Constitution not the Corporations' interpretation of the Constitution. Corporate America seems to have blacklisted MSNBC when they can get away with it.

MSNBC is mild version on the left (want a strong dose try Bill Maher on HBO) of what Fox is on the right. If the corporate mentality can't stand even that modicum of free speech then what is next?

Where is my MSNBC?

On the road.......
