America, Hell Yeah!!!!

minneapolis mike — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 01:06:18 +0000

Saturday night. County fair. Father’s Day weekend.

Is there anything more American than watching a bunch of grown men smash cars for momentary glory, and a trophy?

Not really.

In a world where politics is everything, and the enemy has been proven to be the very people elected to look out for us, let’s enjoy a brief respite from it all.

There ya go, a fun time was has by all. We had a betting pool on each class, and I managed to pick the most deranged driver in each heat. needless to say I went 1 for 4.

A fine time was had by all.

Jason Lewis Tax Cut Rally Pictures

minneapolis mike — Sun, 09 May 2010 01:26:16 +0000

Today in Minneapolis dawned cloudy, cool and damp. This however, didn’t dampen the spirits of the crowd who gathered at the Minnesota Capitol.

The Jason Lewis Tax Cut Rally has been going on since the nineties, and has gained steam every time. Sponsored by local FM talker KTLK, there were speakers including Michele Bachmann, GOP candidate Tom Emmer, Jason Lewis and others.

Here are some pictures of some signs and the crowd. After the rally Livious, myself and our lovely ladies tripped on down University, stopped at the Ax-man surplus store, and had some good grub over at JJ’s Fish and Chips.

A Glorious Earth Day 2010

minneapolis mike — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 23:54:55 +0000

Earth Day 2010 bloomed sunny and warm here in Minnesota. For me, this was going to be a very special day. No, I wasn’t going to celebrate Lenin’s Birthday, the way the new Marxists and Socialists were going to, by kissing the ass of their Mother the Earth, or worshiping Gaia, or hugging a tree.

I had a plan.

As a precinct secretary, I received a communique from the local Senate District. That missive was a forwarded e-mail from the College Republicans at the University of Minnesota. In it, they told of how they had secured the services of Karl Rove to come to campus and give a speech and sign some copies of his new book, “Courage and Consequence”. Seeing the ultimate irony of having Rove here on Earth Day, at the U of M, it was way too good to pass up.

So this morning, I arose, made coffee, and sat down at the computer to begin my day by catching up on my reading at Andrew Breitbart’s Big sites.

Big Government, Big Hollywood and Big Journalism are on my daily reading list, are pure Conservative gold, and should be perused by anyone looking to escape the Governmental Propaganda Machine that is the MSM. There a few posts regarding Earth Day, and I commented on a couple of them, and got to whack a troll along the way. That, along with some coffee really gets the day off to a good start. Soon it was time to head down to campus, and after not finding the exact route that I had planned on being open, I found a place to park and started on my way to Smith Hall.

As I walked onto the Mall by Northrup, I found myself walking with a couple of Campus Police who were on their way to Smith Hall because of the noisy bunch who were marching there chanting something about Rove being a terrorist. The nice thing about that was I didn’t have to guess where Smith Hall was, I just followed the noise.

I walked through the crowd, and into Smith Hall. Found the room and sat down to hear what Karl had to say. He discussed, in no particular order, the healthcare bill, and it’s affect on the country, the Stimulus Bill, and it’s lack of effect, and the ballooning deficit and how damaging it will be to the country. All pretty standard stuff, and well received by most of the crowd. About 25 minutes into the speech the hippie plants broke into their “Rove is a terrorist” chant, and were roundly shouted down by the attendees as they were led out of the room by the Campus Police. There were a couple more dweebs escorted out by the end of the speech spewing some nonsense, Karl seemed unphased by the idiots, and looked like it was old hat to him.

Karl set aside about a half hour for questions, and fielded a wide range of topics from Afghanistan, to who the most influential people on Earth were currently, peer pressure on campus, and why he would come into the belly of the beast, so to speak. His reasoning for appearing on campus was to as he put it, to let the new generation of conservatives that they were not alone either on campus, or in the world.

We were chased out of the room before the book signing to facilitate some order, and to weed out the remaining wingnuts. So I grabbed a couple copies of his book for him to sign, and went and stood in line. Standing behind me was a guy of my general age, and behind us, some 60′s rejects and their “young skulls full of mush” followers. I remarked to my line mate “Oh to be young and disgruntled again” We then embarked on a discussion of how we came to be Conservatives, Tea Parties, Tax Rallies, and how bad it was going to be for the young hippies when they actually had to work for a living, rather than sponging off their parents.

By then we were back in the room getting our books signed, and I had the chance to get a picture with Karl, shake his hand, and tell him he was doing the good work for all of us.

As I walked back to my car, I got a chance to see the education system at work preparing our youngsters for the real world. Kids sitting around listening to their Ipods, juggling bowling pins and hacky sacks. Pretty much the same as it has always been from my dim recollection of hanging out on campus in the 70′s.

Anyway, part of my Earth Day plan was to have a nice lunch, one that included something deep fried to use some fossil fuel, and include some airborne yummy smells, err pollutants. What to do? I considered the Hickory Hut, home of awesome deep fried chicken wings. But I had those last week after the Tax Day Tea Party in St Paul. I considered two different fish and chip joints, JJ’s on University by the Ax-Man surplus store, and Mac’s Fish and Chips on Hamline and Larpenteur. Not in the mood for fish, I cruised down University, and turned into Porky’s Drive Inn. A mainstay of cruisers since before cars had mandated seatbelts, and some of the best, if not the best onion rings in town. I got a Double Spicy burger and an order of onion rings, and went out to sit in the sun on a picnic bench and have some yummy, yummy grub. Turned out I made a good decision, the burger was tasty, and the onion rings were just as I remembered them crisp, salty, and just a little greasy. Truly a meal fit for Earth Day.

I listened to the Twins game as I cruised back across town, and our lads dropped the last game of the series against the Indians, 8-1. Oh well you can’t have it all. Then there was serious Earth Day business to attend to. I stopped at the local Menards and picked up a couple of cases of incandescent bulbs. Yes, I believe in the Edison Bulb, and I will be damned if anyone will tell me what kind of light bulbs I can or cannot use. After all the sheep have been converted to cfls, and spend their days whining about the crummy light and that they don’t work well in the cold. I will have one thing to say to them: “If you want a good light, one that is warm and you can read by it, you are gonna have to talk to me.” Then I will charge their stupid asses $50 a bulb, for being pussies. Capitalism at it’s finest.

Then, well satisfied I had increased my stash, I drove home. Spent some time out in the yard watering my new hedge. When it matures, it will be 6 feet tall, and thick as the day is long, obscuring the view of the front of the house from prying eyes. It will be glorious.

What did you do today?

A Fine Example of What Needs To Be Done

Godwhacker — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 23:54:37 +0000

From BigGovernment

This is Andrew Breitbart spanking a few little piggies at CPAC. Using their own tactics against them. Giving the little piggies a message to take back to their bosses.

Have no doubt, this is what it will take to break the libs backs, and those of their lapdogs in the press. Be ready to do the same, be informed, have your facts straight, and never back down!

A Night At The Caucuses

minneapolis mike — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 18:50:09 +0000

So I did it. Went to my local precinct caucus, to see who and what we have on the ground for the mid term elections. I really didn’t know what to expect when walking in, being mid terms and all.

There were eight of us preset, folks from the neighborhood, none of whom I knew personally. It was an all walks of life crowd from a Teamster, to a retired grocery store manager, to regular working stiffs like me.

There were the bookkeeping things to be done, and elections of temporary positions for the evening, as well as permanent/semi-permanent positions as well.

Being a group of eight, everyone got a job, save the one guy who was going to be working on the census. I was elected to be the precinct secretary, which will last until the Senate District meeting coming up in March. Also, I am an alternate delegate to said event as well.

There was an chance to offer amendments to the party platform, which I will post in separate article.

I did manage to run into a brother of a guy I went to school with, and I am hoping to perhaps meet some others at the SD event coming up in March.

I will be breaking down some of the platform as I see it in the coming weeks, I do however, need to research some things more closely before I start commenting on them.

All in all, I had a fine time, and it was good to be in the presence of like-minded folks.

Art Clokey RIP

Godwhacker — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 19:27:24 +0000

Wow, just ran across the news that the creator of Gumby, Art Clokey has died at age 88.

Stone cold bummer, my friends.

As a young curmudgeon, Gumby was one of my favorite shows. Not only was Claymation an unknown at the time, but the idea that Gumby and Pokey could “walk into any book” was a mind-blower to a young sci-fi freak like myself.

I was in the presence of the great man just once, at a Gumby film fest in Minneapolis, at the Uptown Theater. We watched the history of Gumby unfold in front of us, from Gumbasia, to the Gumby and Pokey shows, to Davey and Goliath. All with Art’s running commentary. At some point in the evening, he led us in the Gumby Theme Song, thankfully the real one, not the versions we all sang in elementary school. It was awesome to hear all the folks there singing along.

I still recall how genuine Art was, and how he enjoyed how much we enjoyed his work.

RIP old friend.
