She Did It Again !

Well, I knew if I waited, Rosie O'Fat Ass wouldn't let me down. I tuned into "The View" about 11:10 est and Joy Behar, a staunch democrat, was reading a list of why President Bush is a poor leader, most of which are true (and I'm a republican). It was semi-serious and semi-comical, which I like. Elisabeth Hasselbeck, a Bush supporter, said something about some of the good things Bush has done, which were also true. She further stated something about the war and that Iraq was a threat to our troops.

O'Fat Ass said, "Do you believe that Iraq is our enemy? Did we invade Iraq or did Iraq invade us? To which, Hasselbeck said that the people of Iraq are not our enemy, but Iraq harbors terrorists and the like.

Well, I hate to say this but, I completely agree with O"Fat Ass. We have no business in Iraq and it's costing us in deaths and injuries to our troops, not to mention the financial implications. I do, however, support the President, no matter who he is, and the United States of America. I don't, even by inference, regard our troops as terrorists.

Rosie then went on to say that she didn't want to get into it, because the media would misquote and distort her statements, as she thought they did when the media reported that O'Fat Ass insinuated that our troops were terrorists. She said the end result would be, "Fat, out-spoken, lesbian attacks poor, little Christian"(Duh). Rosie asked Elisabeth, "Do you think I believe our troops are terrorists? Yes or no ?" Hasselbeck said, "You have to defend your insinuations." In the interim, the guest host and Joy Behar continually attempted to calm things down and change the subject, to no avail. Rosie was quiet for a moment (what?) changed the subject and went to commercial (fade to black).

What Rosie fails to understand is that most people do not like big-mouthed, biased people, who tend to obnoxiously dominate the conversation, while pushing their own agenda. I really don't care about the escapades of you and your "partner" or anyone's mates during a conversation about peanut butter. Stick to the theme and leave your personal beliefs at home (you done, now? yeah.)

The Pictures: I'd be remiss if I didn't include pictures of today's rant, the "usual suspects" and a picture for Indigo.

This Date In History: 1785:  In a letter, Benjamin Franklin explains his newest invention, bifocal eyeglasses, which proves to be a bad idea for people with ugly spouses. 1873; The North-West Mounted Police (now called the Royal Canadian Mounted Police) is established as Canada's national police force; officers are popularly called M, as are my ex-girlfriends. 1934; Notorious criminals Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, known as "Bonnie and Clyde" are shot to death in an ambush in Louisiana. New Orleans famed 9th ward residents continue this practice today.

Today's hump day and I'm going to Krystel's to see my friends in "Area 51". I'll alert you as to any new aliens or alien like antics. You're all invited !

Birthdays: Douglas Fairbanks, actor and producer (1883), Artie Shaw, jazz clarinetist and bandleader (1910), Anatoly Karpov, chess player (1951).

The Cat Ass Trophy Is Being Polished !

The natives are getting restless and things are warming up. It's been a dry spell for the "Cat Ass Trophy", but methinks it's time to wipe off the dust. The first candidate for the envied award is (A) Rosie O'Fat Ass, who, while trying to explain that she was misinterpreted when she likened U.S. troops to terrorists, went off on a tirade against Elisabeth Hasselbeck. O'Fat Ass came down on Hasselbeck after she responded that there were terrorists/jihadists who wanted nothing more than to attack America and kill it's citizens. O'Fat Ass told Hasselbeck that she got her information from watching the "crappy cable shows" and inferred that the terrorists/jihadists weren't trying to kill Americans and were just defending Islam. Both Barbara Walters and Joy Behar came to Hasselbeck's defense in stating that jihadist's mission's, indeed, were to inflict pain and death to America. Rosie responded by reiterating that she did not call U.S. troops to terrorists and changed the subject. Isn't that just like a man ! 

The Pictures: AOL is diligently working on restablishing the old picture format and expects to have the situation fixed within the next week. In the interim, I'll be posting pictures as usual with apologies to anyone using dial-up. Today's theme is Central America with pictures of Belize, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Guatemala and El Salvador, in no specific order. Indigo's pictures today are of a beautiful Osprey and a Chamelion. Oh, and the "usual suspects".

Sunday is the running of the 91st Indianapolis 500 and if you've never watched the pomp and circumstance that surrounds the event, you're in for a treat. Helio Castroneves won the pole (1st) position and this year establishes a record, with three ladies racing in "the show". Lady drivers Danica Patrick, Sarah Fisher and rookie Milka Duno are among the 33 starters of the race which will be televised at 1:00 p.m EST. That evening, Nascar takes to the 1.5 mile quad-oval at Charlotte for the World 600.

This Date In History: 1455; England's thirty year War of the Roses begins. 1939; German dictator Adolf Hitler and Italian dictator Benito Mussolini sign the "Pact of Steel" establishing a military alliance. 1992; Johnny Carson ends his thirty year reign as host of "The Tonight Show". 2007; Rosie O'Donnell goes into surgery to repair her recent adadictome operation.

Birthdays: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, physician, novelist and detective story writer, creator of Sherlock Holmes, and author of the phrase "No shit, Sherlock" (1859), Laurence Olivier, actor, producer and director (1907).

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: Thanks,Victor ! 

I met an older woman at a bar last night. She was attractive and not bad for 55 years old. We had a few drinks and got cozy. She then asked me if I'd ever had a "sportsman's double", a threesome with mother and daughter. I said no and she said that "today's your lucky day."

We had a few more drinks and then she invited me to her home. When we entered the house, she turned on the hall light and shouted upstairs, "Mom, are you still awake?"

That's it for today, my little niblets. More tomorrow.

Honey, I'm Home !

Ok, Ok, I know I'm late but I have an excuse. Today was insurance, auto tag and Publix day, which I successfully accomplished. It's just that it took a tiny bit longer than I had planned. See, I was fine until the hood slammed shut on my hand (You've used that one already. Oh, right !).

Ok, the truth is that my brain wasn't in concert with my body today and I screwed up a few things, starting with getting up late. When I got to the insurance agency, the owner and my friend Carmen, had to recalculated the issue date because it seems someone procrastinated in purchasing the policy. So, I blamed it on Shithead.

The tag agency was slam, bam, thank you ma'am, so I stopped to get some of that good gas that they're selling today. It must be good, 'cause it was $3.35 per gallon. My friend, Eddie, put some air in my tires and after we shot the bull for a while, I left for Publix. Half way there, I realized that I must have had a senior moment because I failed to pump the good gas into my car. Eddie thought it was funny.

Never go food shopping when you're hungry and agitated. At Publix, I was almost finished when I noticed a kid with long baggy shorts and a baggy shirt. The masterpiece was topped off with a baseball cap, carefully worn to the side so as to mimic cheetah, co-star of the Trazan movies. The final "Pierre Cardin" look was the gold teeth. I felt so shabby. The funny thing is that the kid is latin and I used to date his aunt. He's what we call a "wannabe". Don't ask about the bill. I had to finance it !      

The Pictures: Check out the re-touched picture of  a novel new way to beat traffic, the "usual suspects" and some pictures for Indigo. Late post script.  Anyone notice the "nappy hoe?".

This Date In History: 1881; Clara Barton establishes the American Red Cross. 1932; Amelia Earhart becomes the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean when she arrives in Ireland from Newfoundland, Canada.  1945; Actor Hunphrey Bogart marries Lauren Bacall.

Birthdays: Henri Rousseau, painter (1844), ,Fats Waller, musician (1904).

It's Going To Be A Good Saturday !

Why is it going to be a good Saturday? I'll tell you why my little tinker toys. First and foremost, it's the day after Friday and I am still intact (compared to what? Shut up !). Krystel's was fun ! I sang, danced and generally had a good time. Nice to see Pepe again and always nice to dance with Carmen. I am sad to say I only resolved about thirty-five percent of the world's problems during happy hour, 'cause Dr. Saca Muela got there early in the afternoon and was on his fourth martini when I got there. Needless to say, his words flowed aimlessly, bordering on the inane. Fortunately, he later drifted into oblivion, which is close to where he lives.

Today is the running of the Preakness, the second leg of the Triple Crown. My heart's with Street Sense, who's become the odds on favorite and a heartwarming colt that reminds me of the great Barbaro. They're also running the Nascar All Star race tonight, which is a non-points race that pays a cool One Million dollars to win. Should be good !

The journals are going to bring back the old style of picture entries and will keep the new styles also, which pleases me no end. This will enable me to return to my deeply trodden journalistic path, which is easy for me to remember. It will also allow me to add a little more flair with the newer ideas, but at my pace (which is painfully ancient Don't make me smack you Ok,ok !). 

The Pictures: The theme today is "No Helmet Necessary". You'll see what I mean, plus the"usual suspects". I've got some new ones, but they'll keep 'til Monday when things are settled. Note: If you see a picture you like, just click it and the movement will stop. Also: You can click any of the tags at the bottom of each page, or the "other journals" and "favorites" on the left side of the journal and it will take you "somewhere" !  

This Date In History: 1536; Ann Boleyn, second wife of King Henry VIII, is beheaded in the Tower of London after she was convicted of adultery. 1643; Representatives from four New England colonies meet in Boston to form a military alliance. 1935; T.E. Lawrence, British soldier known as Lawrence of Arabia, dies in England from a motorcycle accident.

Birthdays: Johns Hopkins, financier and philanthropist (1795) ,Pete Townshend, musician (1945).

The rich host invited everyone to a pool party, including Leroy. Everyone was enjoying the food and drink when the host exclaimed, "There's a large man-eating alligator in the pool ! I'll give anyone $100,000 to jump in with him."

The words were barely out of his mouth when there was a splash and there was Leroy, thrashing about the pool with the alligator. When a bloody Leroy got out of the pool, the host said, "Well Leroy, I guess I owe you $100,000. Leroy said, "Nah Sir, I don't want your money, but I sure do want the name of the son-of-a-bitch who pushed me into the pool !

It's No Wonder Robinson Crusoe Named His Friend Friday !

I read Daniel Fefoe's 1719 novel, regarded as being the first English Novel, when I was a puppy. I liked it then and I read it again often. I also recommend "Lord Of The Flies", if you never read it (Hey, you could be just like Okrah and have a book club Shut up !). Pardon the rant !

Friday's my pal 'cause it allows me to go to Krystel's, see my friends, solve world problems during happy hour, flirt, sing and perform, dance, close the hood on my hand and then, gossip like hell the next day ! (Surely you rant ! Leave me alone and don't call me Shirley). Sorry about that !

Yeah, I'm going to Krystel's tonight and have some fun with my pals. I'm trying to get my journal entry in early (for me) 'cause I have a lot of things I want to say. The new journal format still has bugs, especially with the pictures. I can load them and see the result in edit form, but I can't return to see them again because my computer and the AOL pictures program are having a hissy fit (Ask your Southern friends for the translation).

The Pictures: I've downloaded some pictures from Dribbleglass.com along with some other pictures I found along the way. The main theme for today is "advertisements". I've got two nice pictures of Native American artwork for Indigo. She's got some great pictures and you can check her out under "Other Journals" on the left side of my journal or just click this link. http://journals.aol.com/rdautumnsage/ravens-lament/  Please check out all the other journals under this site. They're my pals ! 

 A Message And An Idea To AOL Journals And AOL Pictures: Solving the problems with the journal pictures is as easy as pie. Just find out who created the advertisements at the top of every journal. Come hell or highwater, the advertisements never give error messages or fail to appear ! 

This Date In History: 1804; Napoleon Bonaparte is proclaimed emperor of France by the Senate and the Tribunate. 1860; Abraham Lincoln, a former Illinois Senator, receives the Republican presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention in Chicago. 1980; Mount Saint Helens volcano in Washington erupts; 57 people die in the largest eruption in U.S. history.

For those of you who are wondering about the esteemed "Cat Ass Trophy", fear not. It simply has not been awarded to any one who has qualified. I know it's been a while, but, oddly enough, very few "Assholes" have surfaced recently. The "Quack Ass" award, for honorable mention does go to Paris Hilton for her pissing and moaning about the slap on the hand she received, which, by the way has been cut in half for "good behavior (What?). 

Birthdays: Nicolas II, emperor of Russia (1868), John Paul II, Pope (1920), Dame Margo Fonteyn, ballet dancer (1919), Reggie Jackson, baseball player (1946).

The husband came home from work and upon entering the bedrood, found his wife in a negligee with rope in her hands. He asked, "What's going on?" 

His wife replied, "Tie me up and you can do anything you'd like." So, the man tied her up and went fishing !

If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It !

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water! Yeah, AOL revamped the journals. Quite frankly, I like what they did. They did, however, fail to take into account that my computer runs on elctricity provided by a windmill and 56k is my top speed because the little hamster in the cage has corns on his feets. So, for they next few days, I'll be trying to make my entry using the path of least resistance, while I figure out alternate plan B.

The Pictures: Right ! I know how to put them in, but it's taxing on my computer to view the results. I'll have to count on you to make a comment and tell me if the pictures are running as planned. The new forum is cool but today's pictures will just be two or three of me and Shithead to see if it's working ok. More as things progress.

This Date In History: 1792; A group of brokers meeting at a coffeehouse in New York City organize the New York Stock Exchange. 1875; The first Kentucky Derby is held at Churchill Downs; racehorse Aristedes is the winner. 1973; The United States Senate Committee investigating Watergate begins televised proceedings.

What? Me Worry? It's Humpday !

Hump day, from the latin, canus humpus leggus, is my salvation during the boredom of the five days one must endure to get to the next weekend.

I didn't get to see my friend Tom yesterday. Something came up and he wasn't able to make the meeting. We'll reschedule for another day and when we meet, I'll snap a picture of the "Griz".

Last night on TV, I saw another one of those commercials that you just want to shoot whoever thought of it. You know, like that asshole in the black and yellow suit that has the question marks on it and who runs around screaming like a schoolgirl about free money. If there's so much money available, why doesn't he keep it a secret and get it all? Then there's the Head-On commercial, whose producer hopefully will have a head-on crash with the director for making such crap.

Last night's commercial was really a winner! It's called Gold Kit. They send you an envelope and you search around for all your old gold, put it in the "handy" envelope and mail it to them. Then, they will assess it's value and send you a check. What's wrong with this picture? If you send them your gold, without a receipt and without knowing it's value, you deserve the "check" that they send you ! 

The Pictures: As one can plainly see, there are none, Why, you might ask? AOL has redesigned the journals. As you well know, I am always aware of any changes and my keen intellect is the key reason that I am always on top of the situation. Therefore, I had no idea that changes were coming, hence, no pictures. I'm not sure if it's AOL's fault or mine, but I will put the blame squarely where it lies...AOL. I'll get this thing figured out today and will get the pictures later if possible.

                                   

This Date In History: 1770; At Versailles, Marie-Antoinette marries future King Louis XVI of France. 1886; The United States Congress votes to replace the half-dime with a five-cent coin called the nickel. 1929; The first Academy Awards are presented in Hollywood, California; the film "Wings" wins Best Picture.

I'm Gonna Go See "Grizzly Adams" !

My friend, Tom, called me yesterday. We haven't seen each other in a while and his wife went to visit her Mom for Mother's Day, so we're gonna meet up today at Krystel's and shoot the bull a little bit. Tom's been my buddy for along time and he kinda reminds you of an older "Grizzly Adams". We've known each other for a while and when I first met Tom, he reminded me of a young "Grizzly Adams". He's just one of those good guys you run across from time to time, full beard, big as a bear, and just as nice a guy as you'd ever want to meet. If my mind functions somewhat normally today, I'll snap a picture and show you tomorrow.

Today is the gas boycott day. I'm not sure of what's going to come of it, but emailing may just be a way for the common folk to make statements. I received a lot of emails from different sources, all with the same message for today. Then, again, I get the occasional chain letter messages that tells me about God and that something bad will happen if I break the chain. I can assure you that I first report it as spam (friend or no friend) and then I break the shit out of the chain by deleting same. I speak to God every evening and he assures me that he does not own a computer !

The Pictures: My friend Pamela sent me these very funny billboard signs. I love them and I hope you do too. You have to look at very one of them or something bad will happen to your neighbor's hamster  (you're sick.  I know). I added the "usual suspects" and a picture for Indigo.

Monday And I Are Here.....Ready To Rock And Roll !

Good Morning and a belated Happy Mother's Day to all. I took a little break yesterday, but I'm back on the keyboard to give you your daily dose of insanity. Pull up a chair, have a cup of coffee and let's get this party started.

Attornies for the Ronald Goldman family notified Kentucky restaurant owner, Jeff Ruby, that they have taken pre-emptive action in case (A) O.J. Simpson sues Ruby for refusing service to him. They reportedly told Ruby that if Simpson sues him and wins, any monies received by Simpson would go to the Goldman family, who, in turn, would return the money to Ruby. Thank you, Lord !

Paris Hilton's upcoming jail stint continues to be front page stuff. I found her some help (see pictures). By the way, there's still a war going on, gas is nearing $4 a gallon and my hand still hurts!

Speaking of gas prices, I have received countless emails stating don't buy gas May 15th, which I agree with. It will hurt the oil companies that particular day, My logic, however, tells me that they will set gas sales records on May 14th and 16th. The way to force gas prices down is drive at 55 mph, plan your driving routines intelligently and generally conserve fuel when possible.

Area 51 Report: All my readers are honorary members of my area. I can guarantee your safety, but not your mental health. For those of you who missed Saturday's entry, I put in some pictures of the "Area 51" most wanted posters. For those of you who did read it, I added some more pictures. By the way, the white cadillac is the one who hurt me ! 

The Pictures: If you ever watched "I love Lucy", you have to remember the "Vitameatavegamin" bit. Picture #3 should give you a "visual" on gas prices. Picture #4 is to help Paris Hilton. Pictures #6-7 are horses made from driftwood. Picture #8 is white wine for Nancy and, as always, pictures for Indigo and the "usual suspects."

I had dinner Saturday night with Dr. Marc, Rosie and my pal, Danny. As usual, Rosie found something for me to cookthat I'v never cooked before (steaks coated with a sauce of garganzola cheese and garlic butter), but we got by all right, especially with the help of assistant chefs Danny, Chico and Johnny Walker.

Here's Alan Jackson, today's featured artist performing "Don't Rock The Jukebox".

I Was Fine Until The Car Hood Closed On My Hand !

Yeah, I was fine until then. We closed "Area 51" and Krystel's. I was looking under my hood to check something whan a car passed, "honked" goodbye and I waved. When I looked back at the car, the hood was partially closed. It would have been completely closed had I removed my hand. It didn't hurt that much but that bad boy bled like a stuck pig. I'll live !

Krystel's was rocking and "Area 51" was full, including some "new" friends (see pictures). I sang a few songs including "After The Loving" by Engelbert Humperdinck and "Sabor A Mi." My favorite song was "Mi Viejo San Juan", a lovely song about Puerto Rico, which I sang in trio with Armando and Zineb (that's his name, what can I tell you). Dr. Marc's from Puerto Rico and he was very moved.

The Pictures: Some of the "Area 51" regulars and a "new" friend I met last night. I'd tell you her name, but after she painfully pronounced it three times and I still couldn't repeat it, I gave up. I call her "Baby". There's some "unusual" suspects and as always, a picture for Indigo.

Here's Carly Simon, today's featured artist performing "I Only Have Eyes For You". I said that last night until I went blind.

                                    

This Date In History: 1870; Manitoba becomes a Province of Canada 1932; Over two months after he was kidnapped, American Aviator Charles Lindburgh's infant son is found dead. 1978; United States Department of Commerce declares hurricanes will no longer be named exclusively after women; they further stated that male storms will be called "hizicanes" (I made the last part up).

Birthdays: Florence Nightingale, nurse and founder of the first nursing school (1820), Katherine Hepburn, actress (1907), Yogi Berra, baseball player and coach (1925).
