An Ode to Old Days

Goodbye Old Days. I will miss you. I will miss the drunken ranting I instilled upon my passed out and exhausted party pooping friend Mr. Greg Shalhoob, whom can no longer run with me the big dog like he used to, and whom I caught sneak eating a pack of doughnuts at a late hour of night.

Goodbye and farewell until 26 fortnight pass we shall fiesta again--and that will come soon enough for time does indeed keep slippin-slippin - slippin into the future.

Merry days, social order- lots of food, kids, dance and drink. Life is SOOOOO GOOOOD :)

Old Fart vs. Old Fuck

Facts: 14 of 43 Vice Presidents have gone on to be president. That's 33 % ---- 1 out of 3. Also -- from a study of people age 71 conducted by this medical article -

http://www.annals.org/cgi/content/summary/148/6/427?maxtoshow=&HITS=10&hits=10&RESULTFORMAT=&fulltext=prevalence+of+cognitive+impairment&searchid=1&FIRSTINDEX=0&resourcetype=HWCIT

Of both samples (1700 for one, and 856 for another) they each concluded that 22% were shown to have cognitive impairment without dementia. Repeat it again -- Cognitive Impairment

Cognitive: the mental process or faculty of knowing (fundamentals of the economy are strong,) including aspects such as awareness ( how many houses he owns,) perception (offering a gas tax Holiday,) reasoning (Keating,) and judgement (Sarah Palin???)

Impair(ment): To cause to diminish, as in strength or quality (such as bowel control.)

So in conclusion we have by itself a 1 in 3 chance that Sarah Palin will become the next president of the United States of America - not including the added almost 1 in 4 chance that McCain at his current age is unknowingly besieged by cognitive impairment without dementia, plus the really unknown chance of the melanoma coming back to life ---- I would really want to know how a Vegas Handicapper (no pun intended) would lay the odds on Palin becoming POTUS within the first four years of a McCain term. My rough calcs come up to a 1 in 2 chance.

Freedom Fighters?

A great point---

Does McCain want to expalin what he would have done different when the Soviets left Afghanastan -- be more elaborate with "the mistake correction."

Latenight Watch

Its late....watching Colbert Report. I liked it tonight , at least the first fifteen minutes...... It was extra crisp-really funny.

Thumbin through---not much else, gave Fox News a try - channel 360 on the Direct TV. Sean Hannity is such a dildo---and Allan Comes - (is that right? doesn't look right---Allan Cums--icky). Thumbed over to MSNBC---looks like they gave the little dike a show - not that there's anything wrong with that=====Her name is Rachael Maddow, and you know what? Its really good----watched her torpedo talking point mumbo jumbo outta the water -- basically she pointed out that for 3 days last week, drama queen McClame and his lead surogates were spewing how leaderly like he was for dumping his campaign for a day (allegedly) to get the "Crisis Resolved." What a bunch of maroons as Bugs would say. Look what happened today-- what a disaster this McCain campaign is, and what a disaster ALL of congress is.

--Oh watched Pittsburgh win earlier---Good Game.

4-0 in fantasy football this year: Kurt Warner'z da man!

Dennis Millers Head-- A bit thin, still.

The Good Times -

In our little town called Los Alamos, California population 1,400- the last weekend in September, for the past 62 years, we celebrate our community and call it simply "Old Days." There is nothing more American than a weekend like this, putting together in one weekend the most mirrored representation of who we are. Los Alamos, in the heart of Santa Barbara County, is primarily an agriculture and ranching based economy, the wine industry is huge, but over the past 20 years it has evolved into a bedroom community with the larger cities of Santa Barbara and Santa Maria providing the bulk of the jobs making for longer commutes---in other words, we don't see each other all that often. Weekends like this make up for that lost time, and we have a a lot of fun. It's a nweekend to unplug, to not talk politics, to watch the kids run amok, and to dance, drink and laugh after a years worth of hard work. Towns across America have festivals like this, and this commonality, if anything, brings us Americans closer together than ever.

Old Days are here again

What a day! Old Days festival here in our little quaint town of Los Alamos. Lots of pictures to upload, and stories to tell. ......I'm predicting a hangover tomorrow :)
