Just Loving Life and all Gods People
Thought for the Day:
A conservative government is an organized hypocrisy.
Benjamin Disraeli, Speech in the House of Commons, Mar. 3, 1845, British politician (1804 - 1881)
The News as I see it:
Heart Warming Rummy:
WASHINGTON – Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld described himself as “truly saddened” Wednesday as he offered an unusually personal defense to criticism that he has been callous to soldiers in Iraq worried about their safety and to the family members of U.S. troops killed in the war. After two weeks of lying low while Republican senators and conservative commentators called for his resignation as the Pentagon’s boss, Rumsfeld poignantly paid tribute to, and identified himself with, the U.S. troops in the war zone. Secretary Rumsfeld was quoted as saying: “What we have here is a bunch of winning pussy boys, their in the god-damn army, their suppose to get shot at, it’s all the blacks and Hispanics and white trash kids that are the trouble makers.” The Secretary then cut his press conference short by saying that he was late for a T-Time with the President and they were going to try to get in 18 holes.
Be Afraid, be very afraid:
Gov.-elect Mitch Daniels has named a member of the Fort Wayne Police Department to be new superintendent of the Indiana State Police. Paul Whitesell, 53, is a member of Police Chief Rusty York’s staff, where he oversees training and is an in-house police psychologist. As superintendent of the state police, he’ll oversee about 1,300 state troopers. Whitesell has a bachelor’s degree in police administration from Indiana University, a master’s degree in psychology from the University of Saint Francis and a doctorate in human services from Walden University Online. He is a 30-year police veteran and renowned trainer for the U.S. military, federal law enforcement agencies, and state and local police departments. He has served as a lieutenant at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, worked eight years with the Indiana State Police, and was the team leader of the SWAT teams for the Allen County Sheriff’s Department and the state police. Gov.-elect Daniels feels this will be a good match for his vision of “The New Indiana”. “I sought out someone with extensive Bag-Bag operational experience, with all the new “crime… I am going to push through the House, I need an elite combat trained force to protect myself and my Vision and punish wrong doers”
In the Navy:
WASHINGTON – The Navy has relieved at least 800 commanding officers for performance problems since 2003, a number that includes a recent spike attributed to inappropriate personal behavior by about two dozen officers, Navy officials said Wednesday. Those behavior problems include adultery, drug and alcohol abuse, theft of naval property, homosexual relationships, voting democrat, nudity and inappropriate relationships with subordinates, according to a survey by the Navy inspector general. The report did not attribute the rise in behavior problems to any particular cause. Other commanders lost their jobs for poor performance, for actions like grounding their ship or colliding with another vessel at sea, surrendering a ship of the line while not in combat and at least one case of losing the vessel, according to the survey.
When Turkeys Fly:
Joe-Don Williams ruffled a few feathers while driving on Interstate 64 in Beckley, W. Va. A wild turkey flew into the truck’s windshield Tuesday. Williams was traveling about 70 mph at the time but managed to pull safely to the side of the road.
“It looked like someone stuffed the turkey in the windshield,” said Dave Creager of Creager Automotive Repair Service. “It didn’t look real.” Williams, 22, had been driving a company truck for Appalachian Laboratories during the collision, and endured turkey jokes from his co-workers the rest of the day. “ That old boy is lucky to be alive, think about having the 25 pound Butter Ball tossed through your windshield while you’re driving about 70 miles an hour.”
Sniping for Santa:
A 9-year-old is accused of firing a pellet gun from a second-story window in Shamokin, Pa., hitting a man dressed as Santa Claus on Monday night. Police said the boy confessed. Scott Slodysko, a volunteer fireman, was riding atop a fire truck when he heard a popping sound at an intersection. “It felt like a bee stung me – like a very bad bee sting.” Slodysko said he knew immediately that somebody with a pellet gun was to blame. He described the wound as “a black-and-blue mark about the size of a silver dollar” between my eyes and said the attack won’t stop him from portraying Santa next year. The Volunteer Fire Dept. will continue to have “Santa on Parade”.

Ok, It’s Snow:
It took me one hour to go the ½ mile to work today. It is amazing how many people forget about that white stuff called snow and how to drive on it. I pushed out a total of 9 old people who somehow got stuck in the middle of the road.
Why the hell, do old retired people have to go out at 6 am after a snow storm for anyway? Its not like they have to go to work. That and dumb asses in their SUVs who now think they are driving a fucking M-1 Abrams Tank, three wrecks I saw on the way in and all were SUVs that I know the driver was going about 65 in town on snow and ice, d-u-m-b-a-s-s.
There I feel better.
Plans:
Well, looks like we might be staying here in Icy Indiana (oh f'ing Joy), eating all the food I have been cooking all week, since the path south is blocked by snow and idiots, no planes no nothing. …and you know what? that sounds better, down time with Mrs JQP, fire, food and spirits, maybe even a lil' nudge nudge wink wink, perhaps we can get out of the mad dash to MI later on in the week….
Quote for the Day:
In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago.
Christina G. Rossetti, A Christmas Carol, English poet (1830 - 1894)
Holiday Wishes:

I wish you Luck,
I wish you Love,
You are remembered well,
this Christmas Time and always.
All My Best to you and yours:
