To blog or not to blog?...
How and what?
How much of what content?
All very deep questions that I have been asking myself of late...
The answer to all of them is "Just post the stuff Johno!"
There are serious blogs out there...
This was never really meant to be one of them...
I may vent here from time to time on serious topics...but this is done more to spare my friends the verbal beating of listening.
You, dear internet; take the beating instead.
I have made time to add some seasonal colors here...
Y'er welcome...
On with the show...

Yo!...Georgie Boy!...
Mr. President,
On September 11, 2001 you had the resources of the entire world begging to let them help you and your country.
The attacks and follow-up invasion of Afghanistan was something the whole world understood.
The questions began in Iraq.
The questions remain in Iraq.
Afghanistan could have been the new democracy you seek in the region.
Instead it is doomed to return to warlord/druglord rule.
Poppy production has never been higher as a new spirit of co-operation and “dealing” sweeps the country.
Heroin production will reach an all time high this year.
We do not now and never have questioned the “troops”.
We know them, much better than you.
That fact that you tie our questioning of your policies to our patriotism; says little about us and speaks volumes, about you and your administration.
And no matter how many times you try to convince us that some lame-f--- like Saddam was a threat to us.
Well, we just don’t think so.
We never have thought so.
We never will think so.
There is something you do not understand.
We are proud Americans.
And we think you are a complete ass!

A sign of the times...The Story of Two Assholes...
I was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone call I'd forgotten
to make. I found the number and dialed it. A man answered, saying
"Hello." I politely said,
"This is John. Could I please speak with Robert ?"
Suddenly a manic voice yelled out in my ear "Get the right fuckin’
number!" and the phone was slammed down on me. I couldn't believe that anyone
could be so rude. When I tracked down Robert's correct number to call
him, I found that I had accidentally transposed the last two digits.
So I blocked my caller ID and called the number again and said; "Hi, this is John Smith with the phone company. I'm calling to test your caller ID.
Do you show this call as blocked?” He said; “Yes, I do!”
I told him; "That's because you're an asshole!"
I wrote his number down with the word 'asshole' next to it, and put it in
my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a
really bad day, I'd call him up and yell, "You're an asshole!" It always
cheered me up.
One day I was at a local shopping center, getting ready to pull into a
parking spot. Some guy in a full sized Hummer cut me off and
pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled
that I'd been waiting for that spot, but the idiot ignored me. I
noticed a "For Sale" sign in his back window, so I wrote down his number.
A couple of days later, right after calling the first asshole (I had his
number on speed dial,) I thought that I'd better call the ‘Hummer’
asshole, too.
I said, "Is this the man with the gunmetal grey Hummer for sale?"
Yes, it is", he said. "Can you tell me where I can see it?" I asked.
"Yes, I live at -------, in Highland Park. It's parked right out in front."
"What's your name?" I asked. "My name is Steve," he said.
"When's a good time to catch you, Steve?"
"I'm home most days as I need to be.”
"Listen, Steve, can I tell you something?" "Yes?"
"Steve, you're an asshole!"
Then I hung up, and added his number to my speed dial, too. Now, when I
had a problem, I had two assholes to call.
Then one day I came up with
an idea.
I called asshole #1.
"Hello?"
"You're an asshole!" (But I didn't hang up.)
"Are you still there?" he asked.
"Yeah," I said.
"Stop calling me," he screamed.
"Make me," I said.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"My name is Steve."
"Yeah? Where do you live?"
"I live at --------, in Highland Park and if you are too fucking stupid to find it, there is a gunmetal gray Hummer parked out in front."
He said, "I'm coming over right now, Steve. And you had better start
saying your prayers."
I said, "Yeah, like I'm really scared, ASSHOLE!," and hung up.
Then I called asshole #2. "Hello?" he said.
"Hello, asshole," I said. He yelled, "If I ever find out who you are..."
"You'll do what?" I said.
"I'll kick your ass!"; he exclaimed.
I answered; "Well, dip-shit, here's your chance. I'm coming over right
now."
Then I hung up and immediately called the police, saying that I lived
at --------, in Highland Park, and that I was on my way over there to
kill my gay lover. I said that I was in the National Guard and heavily armed.
Then I called every local news station about the war going down in Highland Park
I quickly got into my car and headed over to Highland Park.
I got there just in time to watch two assholes beating the crap out of each other in
front of sixteen police cars, two SWAT teams, an overhead police helicopter and five news crews.
Result...
Now I feel MUCH better!...
Lessons...
When you occasionally have a really bad day, and you just need to take
it out on someone, don't take it out on someone you know, take it out
on someone you don't know.
And don't be an asshole!

Random thoughts...
Careful with that Ax, Eugene
Syd Barrett
...
My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is almost over.
Our Constitution works; our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here the people rule.
Paraphrase of President Ford's inauguration speech following Watergate
...
America is the greatest idea in the world, even if we as Americans are not always the best at recognizing that. The least little thing we do to remind ourselves of what it means to us to be free; is a small step towards the ideal.
Johno
...
In joining battle, seek the quick victory. If battle is protracted, your weapons will be blunted and your troops demoralized. If you lay siege to a walled city, you exhaust your strength. If your armies are kept in the field for a long time, your national reserves will not suffice. Where you have blunted your weapons, demoralized your troops, exhausted your strength and depleted all available resources, the neighboring rulers will take advantage of your adversity to strike. And even with the wisest of counsel, you will not be able to turn the ensuing consequences to the good. There never has been a state that has benefited from an extended war.
---
Know your enemy.
Sun-Tzu's fifth century B.C. classic, The Art of War
...
Without freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom; and no such thing as liberty without freedom of speech.
Benjamin Franklin
...
The first responsibility of any President, is to defend The Constitution;
all other things are second...
Johno
...
The King would have it so the realm obeyed. The King...would be King!
Johno
...
Oh, king eh? Very nice! And how'd you get that, eh?
