THE SAGA CONTINUES
I know most of you are probably getting sick and tired of me going on about my ModBlog blog and it's on again off again status. Well, this should be the last time. It looks like it may be on again. I think I got commenting thing worked out. But before I officially close this blog down, I want everyone to head over there and try to leave a comment on the post that's up. Make sure you read the post first, it tells you what you have to do. Don't worry, you don't need to create an account or anything. If everyone is able to leave a comment then I'm moving. Got my fingers crossed.

DAMN RIGHT
Sgt. William Epler has a great post up about how the working man/woman is being screwed over by their big-wig bosses. Smokers being fired, waitresses being told they can't gain any weight without being fired and so forth. In fact, I have my own screwjob to tell you about. Well, not actually mine, but my mother's. She's a nurses aid at a hospital and they just recently switched over to mandatory color coded scrubs that they have to wear. That's not the screwjob, they have to pay for them out of their own pockets. It cost her $120 for 3 tops and bottoms. If they don't have the scrubs they get sent home. Some up there can't afford them. This went into effect a couple of weeks ago, and I think there's at least one guy who still doesn't have them because he can't afford them. They didn't want these. They didn't have any say in whether or not to get them, yet they have to pay for them. That's messed up. I would say "Unionize", but the union is nothing more than a blackmail organization and I can't stand them.

NEW BLOG GONE
Well, my dreams are dead. Well, I wouldn't go that far. But the new blog is gone. It was almost perfect, except for the part where you had to create your own blog just to leave a comment or use the chatbox. Oh well, I guess I'll stick with Blogger. In case anyone would like to see it, http://www.rightwingrightminded.modblog.com.
Goodbye ModBlog. However, I'm going to keep it just in case they ever come to their senses and fix that.

NEW BLOGS ADDED
I've added four more blogs to the list. GenXrepublican, BoltActionHero, Adonia Rambles On and The Right Dish. Welcome to the Bloggerhood you all. Have a look around and see if you can't find something you like.

MY NEW BLOG
I've finally had it with Blogger. I'm tired of the slow post speed, when I can post that is. For example, the post below. I tried that last night and, just as I would expect from Blogger, it wouldn't post. I finally got it up this morning. So I've found a new home. I'm working on the coding now and hopefully I'll have it up and ready sometime this week. It's going to be a stripped down version of this one. Not as many pictures to load. Which is good news for those of us still trapped with dial-up. The coding on the new blog is nothing like here, it's a little more difficult, so I may not be able to have any pictures in the sidebar. But I'm trying to keep the flag at least. So until I'm done with it posting here will be lighter than usual.

OH MY ACHING EARS
My poor ears hurt. I just got done watching the movie Eurotrip, funny as hell by the way, and they had a cover of The Who's My Generation. Done in French. The horror. The horror. Also, I've added a new picture of myself. That's me sitting at my computer listening to The Smokehouse Blues on 97.5 KMOD on that silver radio behind me. The blues always puts me in a good mood.

DEATH OF THE JEDI
Master Yoda
For some reason I had an overwhelming urge to post a picture of Master Yoda. It could be because of Deo's post or maybe the fact that we're closing in on the May 19th released date of the possibly rated PG-13 Episode III. That's right, PG-13. For those that don't know, all the Star Wars movies have been rated PG for he whole family. But Revenge Of The Sith may be getting a PG-13 rating because of the darker tone than the other five movies. Is anyone else as pumped about this movie as I am? You all just don't know how big of a Star Wars nerd I am. I haven't been this excited about a movie since Debbie Does... I mean The Matrix.

"NEW" BLOG
I've added another blog the list, or should I say re-added. Our old buddy Jake is starting his blog up, again. What does this make, three or four times now? Anyway, it's called Breaking News now. Some may be asking why I put it on the top of the list rather than the bottom. That's because when I first started this blog his was the first one I linked to. Hopefully he'll get commenting up so he and John K can have it out there. And Za, if he keeps it going this time I think you'll like it. He's a Republican bashing Socialist. I mean just check out his first post. Welcome BACK to the Bloogerhood Jake. I'd say have a look around, but that would be pointless.

ARE WE GAINING FRIENDS?
The following post was submitted by reader John K. The views may not be the same one's I have. If you have a problem with what's in the post, take it up with him, not me.
First off let me say I hate Blogger with a passion. If Blogger were a human, I'd take a baseball bat to it's head. I've been trying to post since 10AM and this stupid piece of crap has been having trouble. And the real bad part is that Google, who owns Blogger, keeps saying that nothing's wrong. I even went and set up a blog with Livejournal, but I'm not too happy with it's layout. I'll play around with it some more and maybe I'll be able to get it to something I like and finally more away from Blogger. Anyway, back to the post.

It seems that public views of America in Muslim countries is changing. In a recent poll conducted Feb. 1-6 of this year, more people in Muslim countries favored our War On Terror than opposed it. Here are some of the findings of the poll:

~For the first time ever in a major Muslim nation, more people favor US-led efforts to fight terrorism than oppose them (40% to 36%). Importantly, those who oppose US efforts against terrorism have declined by half, from 72% in 2003 to just 36% today.

~For the first time ever in a Muslim nation since 9/11, support for Osama Bin Laden has dropped significantly (58% favorable to just 23%).

~65% of Indonesians now are more favorable to the United States because of the American response to the tsunami, with the highest percentage among people under 30.

~Indeed, 71% of the people who express confidence in Bin Laden are now more favorable to the United States because of American aid to tsunami victims.

FALLEN HERO
Like I said on Monday, once a week I'll be doing a small profile of a soldier, not necessarily American, who has given their life so that millions in Iraq and Afghanistan may know what it's like to live in freedom. It won't have anything to do with their lives, because I don't know anything about them, but rather it'll just be who they were. And there won't be any details on how they died. That would be showing no class what so ever on my part.

RANDOM LYRICS-THE LEGENDARY SHACK SHAKERS
I know I usually stay with the the artist of the month theme with my random lyrics but once and awhile a song comes along that needs to be highlighted.
Well I got 10-4, 10-8 and I got the 10-36
I'd like to stick around and get my miniskirt kicks
Huh!

You may know this song from the Geiko commercial with the man and the gecko in the car going through the tunnel bobbing their head to a song.

THE TEAM'S NAME? THE FIGHTING MOSQUITOES
And you thought sex with the students was wrong.

GAS
I tried posting this story this morning, but it wouldn't post. We've all seen the signs
and heard their arguments about how the only reason we went into Iraq was for the oil. Here's a question. If we were stealing the oil like the anti-freedom marchers seem to think, never minding OPEC, why is gas so high? It's almost logical. Cheap, or "free", oil means cheap gas. Gas has just broke the $2/gallon mark in the great state of Oklahoma. But I still think we may have the lowest prices in the country. Here's something I want everyone reading this to do. Let me know what you're paying for a gallon of gas in your area. I want to see if anyone is profiting from the Iraqi oil other than the Iraqi people themselves.

SOMETHING NEW
Starting Wednesday I'm going to be doing something new on the blog. Once a week I will be doing a small profile on a U.S. soldier who has paid the ultimate sacrifice in the War On Terror. We know what these men and women are doing for us and for the Afghan and Iraqi people, but for those of us who don't know anyone fighting in the Middle East right now we have the luxury of being able to sit in our nice soft chairs and only see it on the news. We don't know the loss and hurt that their families are going though. This is my small way of bringing these heroes to light, which they all deserve. However, if any of my readers who do have someone fighting in Afghanistan or Iraq, and would rather I didn't do this, let me know and I won't do the posts. I don't want to hurt anyone with these posts.

DEMOCRATS WILL STOP AT NOTHING
"Republican media adviser R. Gregory Stevens, who recently served as co-chairman of the Bush/Cheney Entertainment Task Force, was found dead Saturday in the Hollywood home of actress Carrie Fisher.

Mr. Stevens, 42, was scheduled to attend the Academy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night and was staying with Miss Fisher at the time of his death. The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office said yesterday that the cause of death was unknown, pending results of toxicology tests"
Damn, Liberals are ruthless. They couldn't stop Bush from winning the election so they kill a man who worked to get him relected. I'm looking a Babs for this one. Or maybe "Looney" Clooney.

SAVE ENTERPRISE II
"In yet another twist in the ongoing saga of trying to save Enterprise from the TV scrap heap, it has recently been announced that an anonymous contribution of $3 million by members of the commercial space flight industry has been pledged towards the campaign to keep the show going at least one more year. TrekUnited head Tim Brazeal says that this generosity is overwhelming. "We believe that Enterprise deserves a future," he says.
The benefactors' statement on SaveEnterprise.com says that the people responsible for airing this kind of television have a responsibility: inspiration. They go on to note that at least 50% of all the entrepreneurs in this industry have been inspired by Star Trek.
Under the terms of the TrekUnited charter, the money pledged will go towards anything that will guarantee a fifth season of the show. However, it is still unclear whether any amount of money will bring the show back. Production is currently scheduled to finish next Tuesday, March 8"

LET IT RING
Freedom is a basic fundamental human desire

You mean they see the people of Afghanistan and Iraq receive freedom and damned if they don't want it as well. Mark my words, Iran's next. The youth of Iran already support and like the U.S. for the most part. They're seeing that freedom in the Middle East is possible and before long they're going to start demanding it. Face it, Bush is doing some good. I know you Lefties hate that, but it's true.

And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

F*&K FREE SPEECH
Bradley Smith, one of the six commissioners at the Federal Election Commission, has went on record as saying that freewheeling days of political blogging and online punditry are over.
"In just a few months, he warns, bloggers and news organizations could risk the wrath of the federal government if they improperly link to a campaign's Web site. Even forwarding a political candidate's press release to a mailing list, depending on the details, could be punished by fines."
That means that I, your humble blogger, could be fined for posting a link to http://www.georgewbush.com, which now goes to GOP.com, during an election if these guys get their way.
"The real question is: Would a link to a candidate's page be a problem? If someone sets up a home page and links to their favorite politician, is that a contribution? This is a big deal, if someone has already contributed the legal maximum, or if they're at the disclosure threshold and additional expenditures have to be disclosed under federal law."
But you all have my back don't you? If they were to ever come after me I could count on all of you to protest and commit civil disobedience to set me free. Right?

FREEDOM
Scapegoat Martha Stewart has finally been released from jail after five months. If you were with me five months ago when she was going in then you know how much of a sham I thought all this was. Now, admittedly, she did break the law, but the way people were treating her you'd think she put a gun to a little old ladies head and robbed her. I think the Government needed a patsy to show that they were tough on white collar crime and I think Martha was that patsy. I actually didn't like her before all this went down, but now, like so many others, I'm Martha fan. I won't watch her shows, but I will buy her towels.

God knows I love my mom, but I think she needs to stop watching t.v. She loves soap operas. All My Children to be exact. I've sat and watched her watch that show and she'll sit there and talk to the characters on the screen as though they can hear her. When one of the bad guys will do something or tell a lie, she'll actually get upset and spout out her favorite phrase, "Oh bull". It's funny. Her other favorite phrase is "I told you". When something happens that she knew was going to happen, she'll say that to the screen. She really get into this show. Anyone else know someone who does this?

THANK YOU
This post is dedicated to the men and woman who have served and are serving in the United States military. I've never been in the armed forces, so I don't even pretend to know everything you go through or the sacrifices you have made or are making. But my father was in the Army during the Korean War so I have tremendous respect for you and what you do for us. I just wanted to let you know that you have people back home who love, support and respect you and who wish you a safe and speedy return. You sacrifice everything in your lives for people you don't even know. You may not call yourselves heroes, but that's what you are.
Thank You
The first of every month, I'll post this message. It would be nice to see people honor and thank the men and woman who keep us safe. So if you would like to take part in this, just save the image above to your server. If you don't have one, Photobucket or Tinypic are two great free host sites. What's great about this is that anyone can participate. There's no political leanings here. Show your support for the men and woman who defend our freedoms.

NEW MONTH, NEW ARTIST
This months featured artist is the absolute best band to come out of the 60's. Pink Floyd. With Syd Barrett's, before LSD drove him mad, lyrics on albums Piper At The Gates Of Dawn and Relics. Then later bassist Roger Waters took over as lead vocalist on albums such as UmmaGumma, Atom Heart Mother and Dark Side Of The Moon, which holds the record as the longest charting album. 1,285 weeks, or 25 years and recently cracked the top 200 yet again. The smooth, melodic piano of Richard Wright, amazing drum work of Nick Mason and, in my honest opinion, one of the greatest guitar players ever David Gilmour it's easy to see why Pink Floyd has become the legendary band they have.

RANDOM LYRICS
If you're never listened to Pink Floyd, or any psychedelic band for that matter, then you'll really be confused by some of the lyrics over the next month. But it's only their early work that's really strange.
Mother, should I run for President?
Mother, should I trust the government?
Mother, will they put me in the firing line?
Ooooowaa Is it just a waste of time?
Hush, my baby. Baby, don't you cry.
Momma's gonna make all of your nightmares come true.
Momma's gonna put all of her fears into you.
Momma's gonna keep you right here under her wing.
She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing.
Momma's gonna keep Baby cozy and warm
