Is it hypocritical to print out information on organics? I mean, the paper is made from trees and probably uses a bunch of nasty chemicals to do yet. So am I hurting the environment by reading about how to help it? Hmm...

Aarons' Basic Philosophy
In an email conversation, I ended up writing out my core, basic philosophy on politics, religion, and life. You can read that highly coherent and even genius-prone prattle on my other blog:

Defining "Lame"
Do you want to know how to define the word "lame?" As in "lame ass," "lame as hell," or "lame, dude, just lame."
I'll tell you how to define it: get a bunch of projects together so you have a shitload of work to do. Pile it right up so it's easy to see. Make a massive to-do list or whatever. Just visually represent that you have a crappin buttload of work to get done.
Then look at your empty, broke-ass wallet and your marginally-balanced bank account.
Yep, that's the very definition of "lame" right there. But it gets worse.
Now, look at Goldman Sachs, who took a ginormous amount of our money as a bailout and is now sittin' pretty with a gigantic, unfathomable profit margin. The lefties got all worked up over "Big Oil" profits (12%, which is marginal by any income standard), but have nothing to say about the "windfall profits" being made by Sachs. Two-faced socialists.
Now consider all of that and then you'll realize why this country is in the toilet and that the words "United States of America" and "lame" are now synonyms.
Now get back to work, you broke-ass mofo.

GOP /= GOD
When will these idiots who keep clinging to the Republican Party like it's going to somehow save them realize that GOP does not equal GOD? There's no difference between your GOP worship and the Obamabots' worship IS THE SAME.
Fucking morons can't see that the GOP is the DNC with a different logo. GET A NEW PARTY, lunkheads.

BBQs @#$@$#^%$ Rock!
Ya, so we had a little neighborhood BBQ this afternoon. It was fun. We brought our own meat, but everything else was pot luck.
Someone made crab salad, someone else made potato salad, and there was an awesome apple slaw. We brought salad greens from our garden and our neighbor Ruth made some her special cheese cakes.
So now I'm sitting in front of my computer, well fed, trying to get the motivation to do something. I can't even stand up.
Life is good.

How To Make a Generic Parade
Our town has a yearly parade, like most good American towns do. Last year, the town parade's theme was "You Might Be a Redneck If..."
This produced some hilarity in the parade participants. For instance, the town veterinary clinic ran a float titled "...Your Veterinarian Is Also Your Taxidermist" (which they are).
Anyway, this year, they've now released the parade details including the theme for the parade. I guess that whoever came up with last year's theme was out of town when they decided on this one, because it's about as generic as you can get:
"Old Values and New Ideas"
How lame is THAT? Comon!
So, our animal rescue group is working out what our float will be. Like last year, it will likely involve my pickup truck, but this time we have time to plan it out, so it won't just be a bunch of people and dogs in and around my pickup. :)
Here are some of the ideas so far:
Noah's Ark on a trailer with a bunch of animals surrounding/in it.
Pro: Fits with the theme and lets us showcase some adoptable animals
Con: We don't have a boat and someone suggested throwing horse potatoes as candy.
Actually, that's the only idea so far. Got any of your own? Let me know.

The Big City - 10 Things You'll Need in Cheyenne, WY
Things you're required to have with you when going into the big city (aka Cheyenne, WY):
1) Derringer in your pocket.
2) Some sort of hat, preferably a western one.
3) Manure on at least one shoe and/or pant cuffs.
4) T-shirt, jacket, bumper sticker, or license plate that features a bucking bronco.
5) At least 1 knife and/or multi-tool on your belt.
6) The ability to say "yep" on the fly.
7) The patience to sit at a traffic stop and noiselessly argue with the guy at the other corner that no, indeed, it is HIM who is to go first.
8) The guts to take your pickup truck all the way up to 75+ mph on the freeway, which is a paved road!
9) A note to yourself, probably written on your hand, to remind you that firearms are not allowed in the Post Office, so keep yours hidden.
10) To be comfortable with the fact that you're now entering Wyoming's largest city, which has almost 57,000 people in it: all packed in only a few square miles.
THE BIG CITY!

52% Of The People Reacted Like Nine Year Olds
I received this via email and thought it was great, so I'm passing it on.
From A Teacher In The Nashville Area
ONE OF THE BEST EXPLANATIONS OF WHY OBAMA WON THE ELECTION
"We are worried about "the cow" when it is all about the "Ice Cream"
The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade this year.
The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest.
I decided we would have an election for a class president.
We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote.
To simplify the process,
candidates were nominated by other class members.
We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have.
We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.
The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids.
I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support.
I had never seen Olivia's mother.
The day arrived when they were to make their speeches.
Jamie went first.
He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better
place. He ended by promising to do his very best.
Everyone applauded and he sat down.
Now is was Olivia's turn to speak.
Her speech was concise.
She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream."
She sat down.
The class went wild. "Yes! Yes!
We want ice cream."
She surely would say more. She did not have to.
A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream?
She wasn't sure.
Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it.
She didn't know.
The class really didn't care.
All they were thinking about was ice cream.
Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a landslide.
Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and
52 percent of the people reacted like nine year olds.
They want ice cream.
The other 48 percent know
they're going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess."
Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone that they have not first taken away from someone else.

Why I Couldn't Care Less About Sarah Palin
For those who haven't noticed, Sarah Palin stepped down as governor of Alaska and will be leaving office at the end of July and handing over the reigns to her Lt. Governor.
There are two types of people who care about this: idiots who still cling to the GOP as if it will somehow save them from the evil liberals and the evil liberals who now can have another reason to taunt the stupid Republicans.
I don't care what your perspective on this is, Sarah Palin, whether she likes it or not, is the new Dan Quayle of American politics. She won't be able to do anything to clean up her redneck, know-nothing, image of stupidity. You can wail about how she isn't dumb, but it won't do any good.
Anyone who pays any attention realizes that political campaigns are just another way of saying marketing campaigns. Sorry, but the Palin "brand" is ruined and will have to be re-invented.
This, by the way, is likely why she's stepped down. Without being in office, she can better control where she appears, what she's required to talk about, and what kind of backlash she may or may not face when she does. It also means she can have a year or so to "cool off" and let her brand name get some rest.
Then the marketing will begin again. Probably starting with a book or a few TV appearances on daytime "warmup" shows. Maybe as an NRA spokesman or something.
Regardless, I couldn't care less about Palin's leaving Alaskan office.
Alaskans should be happy, since this will give the press a chance to find new reasons to regurgitate the Tennessee and Alabama redneck image and Alaskans can go back to being ignored. Except on the Discovery Channel, of course.
**Note to Discovery: if you stop airing Deadliest Catch, I will not only stop watching your channel, but I may stop using Hulu altogether. Until the next season of Dirtiest Jobs, anyway. In fact, if it comes down to a question of Deadliest Catch vs. Dirtiest Jobs, you can dump the crab guys. So feel free to ignore Alaska like the rest of us do.
Anyway, there's my take on Sarah Palin. Honestly, if she disappears and never surfaces again except as a judge on American Idol or Miss America, I'd be fine with that. Really, people, she's not that special.

A Whole Day Offline
Wow, my Internet went down this morning and I spent the whole day until now offline. I wrote over twelve pages of great content, got a lot of background reading done, walked the dogs, worked in the garden... I had a real, live day today!
I think I'll unplug the 'Net on a regular basis. I had no idea how chained I am to the WWW. I work too much.
