Having Bad Day Ladies?

Here’s the lyrics of my ‘theme song’ to cheer you-and me-up.

‘WONDER’
by NATALIE MERCHANT

Doctors have come from distant cities
Just to see me
Stand over my bed
Disbelieving what they’re seeing

They say I must be one of the wonders
Of God’s own creation
And as far as they can see they can offer
No explanation

O, I believe
Fate smiled and destiny
Laughed as she came to my cradle
Know this child will be able
Laughed as my body she lifted
Know this child will be gifted
With love , with patience and with faith
She’ll make her way

People see me
I’m a challenge to your balance
I’m over you heads
How I confound you and astound you
To know I must be one of the wonders
Of God’s own creation
And as far as you can see you can offer me
No explanation

O, I believe
Fate smiled and destiny
Laughed as it came to my cradle
Know this child will be able
Laughed as she came to my mother
Know this child will not suffer
Laughed as my body she lifted
Know this child will be gifted
With love, with patience and with faith
She’ll make her way.

Well I love it too babe, Let me give it a kiss

“I my vagina” buttons and t-shirts are catching on with female high school students in Winona, MN. The male students are wearing buttons and t-shirts that say “I Support Your Vagina.” I was a teenage boy once, and support is not what I had in mind as far as vaginas were concerned. What would happen if someone wore a t-shirt to school that said, “I my pecker”, I wonder?

The ACLU is sending in lawyers.

and sinks into the ocean from the collective weight of dumb-asses…

This is disturbing news. The Alternate Universe of Florida may become the 3rd largest state within the next 25 years.

The cows can be happy again, PETA got their ass kicked

The cows in California were happy, then sad and now happy again. PETA lost their court case.

Eggs Benedict XVI

Who didn’t see this coming? You just lose the English muffin and Canadian bacon and substitute German rye and sauerbrauten. They kept that damned French hollandaise sauce in the recipe however. It seems to me that they should have just soaked it in beer.

Email the pope

The Pope has an email address now. Can you imagine the amount of spam he must get. A million Viagra and penis enlargement ads a day I bet. Click here to email the pope.

When you buy firearms, only buy the best

If Santa Anna hadn’t been so chintzy when he outfitted his troops, we wouldn’t have an illegal alien problem in Texas today.

The Perfect Politician

We are stretching the limits of the space time continuum here in Central Texas. We have invented a politician that can be two places at once.

Minutemen Declare Victory and Go Home

The Minutemen have declared victory and will leave the Arizona border at the end of the month. One month of sitting around in the desert would be enough for me too. I do think they did a lot of good getting the public’s attention focused on the problem. I think that their current approach to the problem is more rational, and less likely to get someone shot.

The roughly 750 volunteers, organizers said, would remain in the border area through April under the direction of Civil Homeland Defense, a Tombstone, Ariz.-based group similar to the Minutemen.

The project now will focus on protesting businesses that employ illegal immigrants, pushing for immigration reform and organizing Minutemen branches nationwide. Minuteman leaders Jim Gilchrist and Chris Simcox are scheduled to speak before the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus in Washington, D.C., next week.

And of course Vincente Fox is threatening to sue.

Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-CO, chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, and U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-AZ, have been vociferous defenders of the Minuteman Project Project against its critics.

“The president of Mexico is threatening to sue any member of the Minutemen who have contact with a Mexican national, threatening to take the U.S. into the International Court of Justice at the Hague over the passage of Prop 200 in Arizona, and is providing transportation to Mexican nationals trying to sneak into the U.S.,” said Trancredo. “One could say he is acting in the best interest of his nation. Isn’t it unfortunate we cannot say the same thing about President Bush?”

And Kyl lambasted Mexican President Fox’s threat to file lawsuits against the Minutemen. Fox appears to believe, “illegal aliens have more of a right to break American law than American citizens have to peacefully assist in enforcing it,” Kyl said.

I probably should launch into a rant about the “dirty mess-kins” at this point, but listening to old jazz and big band music today, has put me into such a good mood, I really can’t be mad at anybody right now. I may not be cut out to be a commentator on this web site.

Big Band Playground

Tannenberg drug himself in through the back door of the website today, after quite an absence. In honor of his return I decided to do a big band post.

I have found a web site that can occupy a big band lovers time for at least a month or two. It is www.redhotjazz.com.

It has all sorts of pictures and information about bands both famous and obscure, more importantly it contains hundreds, if not thousands of old recordings in Real Audio format. Click here to get the Real Audio player if you haven’t already got it.

If you are a big band fan, this is about the best playground that you could ever stumble into. If you are not, go there anyway, you may be a big band fan before you leave.

As a sample, listen to the famous Louis Armstrong playing Ain’t Misbehavin’ or You’re Driving Me Crazy. Listen to the obscure Buster Bailey and His Rhythm Busters play Man With A Horn Goes Beserk.

*Tannenberg follows the link and exits the website, never to be seen again*

Update: After poking around a bit this is more of an “Early Jazz Band” website instead of a “Big Band” website. The world stopped in the mid to late 30s as far as this web site is concerned. It is still a lot of fun though. There is no “Music” category for for postings at BMEWS. We have an “Eye Candy” why not an “Ear Candy?”

Update to the Update: This web site gets us past the 30s. A little Glenn Miller should put Tannenberg ”In the Mood.”

Real Science

With all the talk of us fatty’s being better off than we thought, there came across my desk this article of some serious research being done in the food industry.

Eat your way to the bottom of almost any bag of popcorn and there they are: the rock-hard, jaw-rattling unpopped kernels known as old maids. The nuisance kernels have kept many a dentist busy, but their days could be numbered: Scientists say they now know why some popcorn kernels resist popping into puffy white globes.

Damn, I hate those little buggers.  Good job docs, keep up the good work!

Joke

Bill wakes up at home with a huge hangover. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table. He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. Bill looks around the room and sees that it is in a perfect order, spotless, clean. So’s the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table “Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to go shopping. Love you.”

So he goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating.

Bill asks, “Son, what happened last night?”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
