We're following the snow birds, at least for a couple of weeks. In the morning we're heading for land south of the Mason-Dixon. Our first stop will be Lookout Mountain near the Tennessee-Georgia border. We haven't been there since the boys were in grade school.
Expect posting to continue light for a while.

Scarry As All Hell
Obama administration has adopted the Bush policy of targeting selected American citizens for assassination if they are deemed (by the Executive Branch) to be Terrorists.
That's probably the most frightening article I've ever read in my life.

To Help Others - - Or Not
I know it's extremely dangerous to generalize any group of people . . . So I'll do it anyway.
It's been my experience that long time Democrats think it's the governments job to help others in need. My father-in-law is that way when it comes to strangers. He'd help the Boss and me, for the Boss's sake, but he wouldn't walk across the street to give a dying man a glass of water.
Republicans on the other hand tend to be more personally giving. They don't rely on government to do what they can do themselves. My father for instance bought a hungry man dinner and on another occasion payed for a tank of gasoline for someone in need. Those two instances I personally witnessed, and I'm sure there's more.
We absolutely need more people like this police officer in our world.
The officer then ran to Walmart, bought a few dozen frozen pizzas — at his own expense — and delivered them to the man’s house

On Palin
Last night a saw Palin give a speech at the TEA party convention. There were a few things that struck me about what she said and how she said it.
Her views of this country and the world are extremely close to my own views.
She appears to be a down to earth person taking advantage of her situation to promote her views.
Her speech focused way too much on the negatives of our government and not enough on the details of how to change it.
As a public speaker she lacks polish. If she had a little more southern evangelist/used car salesman in her, she'd go farther politically. But then again, she might lose trust that way.
If I again hear the phrase "common sense" I might puke. Whether it's from her or some sleaze-bag, how can that term survive in a country that has none.
The Boss asked if I'd vote for her for president. I think I would. She seems to have the ability to think for herself, believes in the Constitution as written, and etc.

Crazy Woman?
Now that I've spent a couple of hours blowing snow, and had lunch, I thought we'd head on over to the indoor range. The Boss's new toy is still a virgin and we need to take care of that neglect. She shook her head "no" to my suggestion. She started taking Lyrica again for her fibromyalgia and she says it's making her head swim like a crazy woman. Being the sweet loving husband that I am, I said "so what's different?".
