Congrats to Mustang Bobby for 13 years at Bark Bark Woof Woof

I believe some congrats are in order here:

So here we are, thirteen years, three residences, two Mustangs, two presidents, four presidential campaigns, and over 25,000 posts later, and I’m still getting up every morning and writing every post. In fact, in all these years, only two posts were written by people other than me and they did it because I was incommunicado because of hurricanes (thank you, CLW and Brian).

But not a day has gone by that I haven’t come up with something to post. Sometimes it’s passionate, sometimes it’s silly or snarky or just for the fun of it. I’ve shared good times — having a play go to New York — and I’ve shared some tough times. There have been very few things I haven’t covered in the last thirteen years, and the only test I have for choosing what to write about is will it be worth sharing with the people who read this.

I’ve made a lot of friends, forged new pathways of self-discovery, learned so much, and been touched by people I only know through nicknames and pixels. There are so many people I want to thank for being here and being there for me. As I said at the outset, I couldn’t do this without you, dear reader, and I hope that in these years I’ve enlightened you, provoked you, maybe even pissed you off on occasion. The one thing I hope I haven’t done is bore you.

So with that said, I’ll ask what I always ask: What’s next? – Source: Thirteen Years Of Bark Bark Woof Woof | Bark Bark Woof Woof

Bark Bark Woof Woof was one of the blogs that I used to read quite a bit, when I was rooting for the Democrats. He is a bit of a moderate, and that is a good thing. I always liked Bobby’s stuff and he is a hard working school teacher, which is an honorable job and a tough one at that.

I hope he doesn’t mind hearing it from me. But, Congrats Bobby!

On a totally sort-kinda related note: When writing this, I kept wanting to type Booby, instead of Bobby. I hate that! Congrats Booby! 😆

Gun Blogger needs assistance

(H/T to Bill Quick)

Better and Better Writes:

So here’s the thing: Tamara has got a touch of basal cell carcinoma in her nose. And as much as that sucks, it sucks way worse when you don’t have health insurance. Which she does not.

I don’t know what the Moh’s procedure costs to remove a chunk of your body and stitch it back up into a recognizable feature again, but it seems like you can’t ask for a tissue at a hospital without it taking a severe hit on your yearly budget. Genuine surgery is dammit expensive to be paying out of pocket.

Here’s the bleg: Tamara has a tip jar on her blog. It’s easy to use. I’ve used it before. If you click on it, you can donate directly to Tamara, with no middle man. Think of it this way: if she were in town, wouldn’t you take her out for dinner and perhaps a beverage? What’s dinner run, these days, at a place where you don’t bus your own tables? $25? $30

 

 

Well, you know what to do; head on over and give the lady some donation loving. Cause there isn’t anything worse than being butthole deep in medical bills and no insurance to cover them.

For the record, I do not know this young lady at all. But, she’s a gun lover, and a supporter of the second amendment; that is good enough for me. Not to mention she looks awful darned hot with that assault rifle in her hand. Love Struck Wonder if she has a boyfriend? ConfusedThinking

*shakes head* SurpriseDrooling

Sorry, got distracted. Head on over to her blog and drop a couple bucks in the jar to help the pretty lady out.

A special Thank You to DaTechGuy

For standing up against the McCarthyism style blogger blacklist against me.

DaTecgGuy linked to this entry here on Google’s executing searches on blogs.

I will quote this part here:

BTW a few people might find themselves surprised that I linked Pat Adkins here. Everyone knows I’m a friend of Zilla, Stacy and others who have had run-ins with him. Why this post and the link?

First: I found this story interesting and his quote was a part of it

Second: Since he was the source of the story for me simple blog protocol demands a link

Third: When he became aware of the Zilla video he put up a public retraction and has included a permanent link complete with graphic on the front page. I’m Catholic I like contrition and it deserves recognition and if you’re not Christian then consider these words of Glenn Reynolds:When you reward behavior, you tend to get more of it.

Let me simply say this: the very fact that anyone said anything to DaTechGuy to try and pressure him into pulling the posting linking to me; proves what I have believed about the so-called “Right Wing” Blogosphere — they are, much like the liberal left, tolerant — as long as you fit into what they consider to be acceptable. If you veer away from that, they will blacklist you and do everything in their power to destroy you. Just like they have done me. The sick part is, they learned it from the left. (Update: DaTechGuy says No one said a word, but I have no way of verifying that.)

…and all because I once was a Democratic Party voter. 6 1/2 — 7 years is a long time to hold a grudge; but they still do. I guess that is to be expected of the NeoCon right. Way I see it, they are just following in the steps of their masters. Also too, it was not a run-in with McCain, he did something and I didn’t like it one bit and I said so. I guess that was unacceptable to the McCarthy crowd.

A video:

Believe me, I know how these people felt, I really do.

Also too:

Update That’s ADKINS not ATKINS and yes the site was down a few hours full details not yet available.

Yes, my ethnic line can be traced to Dalton, Georgia and Middlesboro, Kentucky — and back to England. Big Grin Redneck by association I am. Cowboy Yee haw!

Wow: What the heck happened to this Charles Foster Johnson?

I was searching through archives at a blog and landed at LGF.

I spotted this from Oct 31, 2007 at 8:42 am PDT over there:

The whole thing is nothing but a sleazy leftist smear.

Wow, 5 years and 2 days ago. Disappointed

How things change in the political world.  Sigh

I’ve changed too; left the idiocy of the left and at least tried to make a place for myself on the right.

Remember when Johnson had “stalker blogs?” and people who just didn’t like Charles, on the left? I do.

5 years, does not seem that long ago; but in politics and the blogging world, it is an eternity.

Which brings me to my last late-night thought. What is going to change, if Romney wins? I am talking about the blogging world. Who will move? Will there be defections? What will become of the Democratic Party, if Obama loses? What will become of the Republican Party, if Romney loses. What will become of the Blogosphere? Will it end?

Just those questions that one thinks about at 2 A.M. ThinkingConfused

Disagreeing with Pamela Geller

Ugh, Please, Pam. John Hawkings might be many things, but I’d hardly call him a “blogosphere impresario.”

John Hawkings smeared me and linked to untrue crap that smeared me big time. Angry

Not to mention he treated David Frum like a jerk;  all because Frum didn’t go along with the echo chamber of the right. Don’t get me wrong, I am no Frum fan-boy, but I felt that was totally uncalled for.

So, Pam; you might be right about radical Islam and terrorism. But you are quite wrong about that asshole. (and that is what he is, an ASSHOLE!)

Impresario? Feh. More like an opportunistic charlatan. Frustrated

Uncertainty at HotAir.com?

I saw the following over at HotAir.com. The topic is rather serious, AllahPundit’s take in it, was very funny.

Quote:

Via the Weekly Standard, I can’t decide if this is newsworthy or not. It’s like when O says he wants to close Gitmo. On the one hand: Hmmm! On the other hand: Meh. It’s not happening, so who cares?

I admit it, I let out a laugh, when I read it. Hmm! Meh and who cares? All in one posting! 😆

Pick a position please… Before the election, preferably!
