Right now it's 92 degrees, and no breeze where I am at.

I don't get it. I paid $75.00 to get my taxes done. State and Federal...walked in with receipts w2's records...even out of order...was out within 45 minutes. Picked them up a week later...done.

What, you were actually thinking of voting for him before today? Let's recap, Obama:

Is a socialist black separatist that hates America and dislikes whitey,

Is Gun Satan,

Is personal friends with domestic terrorists, unrepentant to this day, who bombed the Pentagon and several other buildings,

Is not a Muslim, but will surrender to them because he likes them better than Israel,

Paid for his Chicago property the same way Hillary paid for her cattle futures,

Will raise your taxes significantly which will, in turn, crush the equities markets,

Has more experience at drug use than governance, and

Will, with a Bonkey Senate, have activist judges to the left of Ruth Bader Ginsberg flying out the door.

Am I missing much?

So, as I sit here over my warming computer on a hot California afternoon feverishly finishing my taxes while the cloudless sky beckons me to wander outside, the gall of the State of California angers me.

For those of us who have lived and worked overseas (or still are...), the fact that the State of California will double tax you (on the taxes you may have paid overseas) is something we have to deal with, but it raises no ire with 99.9% of the population, though it is one of the more egregious examples of abuse.

John Deere Green

They were farm kids way down in Dixie
They met in high school in the sixties
Everyone knew it was love from the start
One July in the midnight hour
He climbed the water tower
Stood on the rail and painted a 10ft heart
In John Deere green

On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3 foot high
And the whole town said that he should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green

re: #134 DesertSage

I feel your pain. Pretty soon here I'll be "enjoying" weeks of one-hundred-and-suck-arse degrees.

IIRC, last year we had a 21 day streak. I treasure every second of winter I get, no matter how miserable.

We have 1924 construction, LOL. You are sure right about those attic fans, they are great. We also put in one of those whole house fans up in the attic. When the temps cool down in the everning we just open up the windows and pop that baby on.

re: #144 mama winger

I washed the Jeep Cherokee and Nissan truck in the driveway today. First time in about 8 months I could because of water restrictions.

I was sweating as I drank beer and washed the vehicles.

Then I grilled a couple of Filets, some sweet corn, and chicken breasts for supper.

It was a good day, Mama. I think I got some sunburn though on my face. Oh well..

re: #113 livefreeor die

It is getting fun here in PA. Obama and Clinton keep trying to one up each other and stepping in it the process. She seems to be blowing the big softball he threw her with his "bitter" speech. Yesterday, she told a "heartwarming story" about shooting at her grandfather's cabin off some lake in PA. So today, someone asked her when the last time she shot a gun was and she told them that question wasn't relevant because she was talking about what Obama said.

They keep going off script and crashing!

BTW-is there a debate tonight?

And look at some of the crap I took around here for being a Republican and Voting Hillary in the new Hampshire primary, Rush got the idea from me.

re: #119 Pro-Bush Canuck

Yo PBC.

There is another debate tonight-it's on CNN and called-get this-The Compassion Forum. Obama and Clinton are going to debate faith and other stuff.

I'm getting tired of popcorn though...

I propose a thread where everytime Billary claims to have shot a gun or waxes poetic about her faith, we drink. Or is that too likely to cause mass alcohol poisoning?

Snowed in the Adirondack's today.
Be gr8ful to see warmer weather here.

re: #127 livefreeor die

Don't like HRC (or Obama), but her Rodham grandpa, Hugh, did live in Pa after he came to America. Now as for the lake and all the other BS, can't say one way or the other.

I been trying to get the wife to plant her two-lips (tulips)

here are some interesting thoughts on obama's chances in November from an article that I saw on drudge's front page.

There is reason to question whether obama would be able to perform at average levels with other main pillars (besides Blacks)of the traditional Democratic coalition: blue-collar whites, Jews and Hispanics. He has run decently among these groups in some places, but in general he’s run well behind clinton.

Obama lost the Jewish vote by double-digits in Florida, New York and Maryland — and that was before controversy over anti-Israel remarks of jeremiah wright.

An undecided Democratic superdelegate said that many Jewish voters are itching for a reason to break with the party and side with Republicans, who have embraced the Israeli cause with passion. A small shift could swing swing states like Florida and Pennsylvania, which have significant Jewish populations.

if obama loses NY and FL, he has no shot. I hope McCain is planning to spend his money accordingly.

Forty five degrees here in Minneapolis. My backyard thermometer, warmed by the afternoon sun on my stucco siding, says 57.

I remain skeptical of anthropogenic global warming, or any warming of the globe, for that matter. Al Gore can kiss my ass.

re: #149 redc1c4
I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

Either way, you'll have to come over for a beer sometime.

re: #127 livefreeor die

I know-when I read the story, I started thinking about all the questions people could start asking her about her gun "experience". I bet she could be tripped up in three good questions at the max.

Someone needs to do a deed search to see if a)Her grandfather ever built a cabin on a lake and PA and b)if anyone around there ever saw her shoot one.

The cabin definitely exists. There's a recent NYTimes story that shows a picture. The family still owns it, and her brothers use it. Apparently, she described learning to shoot from her grandfather in her autobiography. Doesn't seem so surprising, actually. I don't think she's done much hunting lately, though.

hot shmot! you people don't know hot until you've been in AZ in the summer.

right now it's only about 91. the good news is that there is only 5% humidity so it actually feels like 91.

this'll warm up the pool for sure!

Thanks for the information. Given that it's a Clinton though, I want to hear from someone who actually saw her fire a gun. I heard tell there were some factual inaccuracies in other parts of her autobiography (coughsniperfirecough).

"Let me tell you, when the ideology of Israel collapses, and we take, at least, Jerusalem, the Israeli ideology will collapse in its entirety, and we will begin to progress with our own ideology, Allah willing, and drive them out of all of Palestine,"

That Jimmy Carter is a real asshole for meeting with degenerate unrepentant terrorists. Agree?

But the degenerate Islamic terrorist quote above is from the PLO's ambassador to Lebanon, Abbas Zaki.

You remember the PLO, Abbas's guys. The "good" terrorists who are trained and funded and armed and supported by Bush and Rice.

Here they clearly state that their aim is to destroy Israel. And they are trained and funded and armed and supported by Bush and Rice.

Catholics- Don't feel left out.

And in a sermon televised on Friday, Yunis al-Astal, a Hamas MP and cleric, told worshipers that Islam would soon conquer Rome, "the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital, which has declared its hostility to Islam, and which has planted the brothers of apes and pigs in Palestine in order to prevent the reawakening of Islam," just as Constantinople was.

Rome, he said, would become "an advanced post for the Islamic conquests which will spread through Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, and even Eastern Europe."

So, I saw a link to Hillary Rodham Clinton's geneology (in support of the claim that Gramps was a blue collar worker.) and they pointed out she claimed French Canadian and American Indian ancestry (though they haven't found the evidence for that yet they say.) Some of the names looked somewhat familiar, since I have French Canadian and American Indian ancestry I have documented back to the 1300s. So I dug out the data base and (choke, die, cough) Hillery is my G_d only knows what cousin umpteen times removed.
