Kim Says

When I was a young man, I was tortured by the Viet Cong. They broke my bones and starved me for over five years.

Now, as a grown man, I cannot raise my arms over my head. However, I can still give a great big thumbs up in honor of my fellow POW’s as my strong index finger pushes down on that bright red button.

This has been Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey.  

Note: the Jack Handey reference is attributed completely to SNL and its writers.

I have this thing for Fred Thompson. I don’t know what kind of “thing” it is, but it just is (and according to Bill it depends on what the definition of is is). 

Anyway, I often call Senator Fred Thompson, Joe Don Baker. I think they look a lot alike.They are both actors after all.

Joe Don Fred cracks me up! I watched him half-heartedly run for President this past year. He was so funny. The politicos insist as a person running for office, you have to collect millions of dollars in campaign funding, you have to speak at certain rallies and conventions. You have to do this or do that and then there was Joe Don Fred. He basically said, “Fuck you all, I’ll do what I want when I want”. 

He had me at “Fuck you”.  

I think he is quite a character and he was the reason I watched the RNC last night. I wanted to see him and hear him speak his mind.  He did not disappoint.

Thanks Joe Don Fred! I appreciate the fact that there are still those tough old birds out there who do what they want, when they want and don’t give a hoot about anyone else’s partisan/bipartisan opinion.

I’m just sayin’.

P.S. Did anyone else hear the ABC news commentator during the DNC use a freudian slip when referring to the Obama/Biden ticket? He said Obama Bin Laden ticket. I nearly pee’d my pants!

Looks as though my pal Val and I will be heading to NOLA on October 25. Kimmer loves NOLA and all her voodoo charms.

Let’s just hope now that Gustav has passed and Hannah and her sisters are now on there way, that no more flooding will occur between now and then. Although, Hurricane season continues through November…

Mere, if ya wanna ride along there is always room for one more!

I do believe my vote was just cast. Her name is Sarah.

Can’t wait to see more and hear more…

Hubby referred to Tropical Storm Fay as a Cuban Storm; always washing up on Florida’s shores. Then she made her way northwest and languished over Bama with a consistent and continuous rain that lasted for five solid days. Today is Wednesday and the sun is attempting to peak out from the clouds as the heat and humidity soar once again. Ahh, August in Alabama; the joy, the tears, the spontaneous human combustion.  

Now we await the looming prospect of Hurricane Gustav coming up from Haiti and into the warm waters of the Gulf Coast. Gustav will likely hit as a Category 3 but could increase before landfall. Currently, the weather gurus cannot decide just where it will hit yet, could be anywhere from Tampa, FL to Corpus Christie, Tx or the 3 states in between, but no doubt we all will see gas prices soar as the oil rigs are evacuated once again.  

And don’t forget, this is Labor Day weekend. The official last weekend of the summer, so most people in these parts head to the “beach” for the holiday. (Coincidently, it was 3 years ago this holiday weekend that Katrina “sunk” Nawlin’s and Biloxi.) If good ‘ol Gustav picks up any speed or makes a direct hit on Gulf Shores, there could potentially be an inordinate amount of pissed-off rednecks driving erratically north on I-65. Now there’s a warning everyone should fear! There should be a special siren for that! Does anyone else hear the General Lee’s horn????
