What Was For Breakfast?

Well, I gave all the little porkers a temporary reprieve for a change so it had none of these in it:

Something new, that's what was for breakfast and it contained beef. It was also something not unheard for my breakfast but yet that is fairly unusual. I had a couple of hotdogs (boiled) on toasted (in a pan with butter) potato hotdog rolls. I did say it was something new and then said it was not unheard of for my breakfast and I guess I should explain what seems like a contradiction. I have had frankfurters for the first meal of the day several times before and while that was not new, what was new was the brand for this breakfast. Last night, for dinner, was the first time ever that I have had Abeles & Heymann dogs and this morning the first time that I ever had them for breakfast.

For dinner, I sautéed them in butter in a pan along with dried flaked onions and a bit of coarsely ground black pepper. I toasted up a couple of potato rolls (also in butter in the pan) then threw the dogs on the buns, smothered them with A. Bauer's mustard with horseradish (my favorite of all mustards that I have ever tried) and chomped down. Even though they were delicious, I really overdid it with the mustard and onions last night to be able to judge the dogs. So, today I cut back and only used a local (to Long Island) horseradish mustard, completely on one and only on halfway on the other. The first bites this morning were of the mustard-free half to see what it was like fairly naked.

They seem to have a firmer consistency than Hebrew National Franks and in my opinion are more chewy than those from HN. That was a good thing. As for the taste, I have got to say they are delicious. Yet, the jurors among my taste buds have not yet reached their verdict as to whether or not they beat out those from Hebrew National as my current favorites. Thus there will be more taste testing to come this weekend.

Once upon a time, in the east, the frankfurters from Isaac Gellis were my, and my wife's, favorites - by far. I don't think that either the A&H franks, or those from HN can compare to those that were made by the Isaac Gellis company but sadly, as far as I can tell, they went belly up. As for comparing the dogs from A&H to those from HN - time and more taste tests will tell. Next time, instead of boiled or sauteed, I will cook them on the grill. I will also wash them down with a good beer instead of with water. I guess some folks might think the real test should be to eat some of each brand totally naked (not me, the hotdogs) and try to determine which has the better taste but while I may do that too, I think the best test is to have them how you would normally and for me that is with at least some of the trimmings like: mustard, horseradish, sauerkraut, beans, onions, hot peppers, hot sauce, crushed potato chips, whatever else I think of at the moment it's available - and in all combinations of those add-ons. Yes, that means there are many taste tests to come and I'm salivating while anticipating them.

I Couldn't See Sticking This Inside My Toilet...

...and think that maybe I found and even better use for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah - it's an Andrew Cuomo Urinal Target but it gave me great pleasure to use it elsewhere. I didn't want to take the chance of flushing it down the bowl and having that get stuck in the pipe and causing a back-up; I mean we are going through enough shit in NYS because  of him - who needs more. So, I think I found another suitable application for it. What do you think?

By the way, his nose is dead center over the center of the bullseye and my second dart was right on the mark. I kind of enjoyed using it as a dartboard target instead of using it in the commode. It certainly seems to have improved my dart throwing anyway.

Please note that in no way does my use of it as a dartboard target signify, directly or indirectly, in any way, shape, manner or form that I wish to illegally harm Governor Cuomo or condone anyone else illegally harming him. You safely can bet though, my use of it as a target for darts signifies my utter disgust with his politics, policies and governorship to date and that I see him as an anti-Constitutional, anti-liberty, anti-rights, petty tyrant who, in my opinion, is totally un-American. FUAC!

The New Negro...

...had an article in its October 1919 edition with the title: "The Women Of Our Race". 

I would bet the author Hubert Harrison, as radical a socialist he was in his time, never envisioned an alleged imposter like this as being one of them:

Leftists just totally are bizarre in what they seemingly will do to satisfy their own twisted personal needs and egos.

All The Kings Men May Be Screwing Up Search For Escaped Killers..

...in New York but not without help from that pompous politico, apparent wanna-be tyrant, Andrew Cuomo. It has been reported that the NY State Police, the lead department in the search for two escaped killers in NY, have refused to share all information with other departments and agencies involved in the same search and that has already led to at least one very potentially encounter between members of different LE departments. 

In addition, King Andy got personally involved in the operations on day one. He also demanded that all law enforcement officers, except NY State Police, had to vacate a room in which he was holding a press conference. It seems like all so much egotism gone berserk.

When LE departments do not share information, with others assisting in the same investigation, you can bet it all boils down to politics, petty bickering and to the lead agency trying to look good. The FBI is notorious for it and now it seems that the NY State Police and King Andy are looking to puff up their own egos and boost Cuomo's political stature. They are seemingly doing so at the risk of either the escaped killers remaining free or at risk of LEOs being injured by one another because the one hand does not know what the other is doing. More here.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished & Maybe No Stupid One Unrewarded...

...after all drunks survive accidents in which they kill others, assholes seem to be the winners all to often, scumbags often wind up at the top and on and on all the way down to normal Joes and Janes just doing it wrong out of ignorance and yet winning big.

As for no stupid deed going unrewarded, take for example the case of Christian Pham (not that I am saying he is any of those nasty types I mentioned above) who was a player in the Las Vegas World Series of Poker. He paid his entry fee and sat down to play no limit Texas Holdem. Much to his surprise though he was dealt five cards and immediately knew something was wrong because in Texas Holdem he would have been dealt two to begin with.

It wound up that he had inadvertently made a stupid mistake and had registered for Low Ball. Low Ball, as I am well aware, is a very different game than any other poker game (at least that I have ever played);,it takes a sort of a different mindset to win because you goal is to have the worst possible hand to win. Well, despite supposedly never having played before, Mr. Pham wound up beating 219 other players and winning over $80K and a tournament winner's gold bracelet. More here.

I should make such stupid mistakes and wind up having the same luck! I guess I can at least look at it this way, after all of my stupid mistakes to date, at least I am not dead yet and perhaps that is a kind of reward, I suppose.

Yet Another Woman With The Right Ammo - Maybe

I say maybe because while I give her credit for evidently having the right ammo to reload the shotgun, and the semi-auto pistol but there is not a clue given as to what she has for the revolver. If you are going out armed with a firearm, you should always carry at least one complete reload of ammo for every firearm you are toting.

It's A Zoo Out There...

...or at least it is in Tbilisi, Georgia (the country not the state) after several zoo animals escaped when their enclosures were flooded and destroyed during a storm. Among the escaped animals are a hippo, bears, wolves, tigers, lions and other critters.

Ten people have died, apparently as a result of the severe storm and reportedly not at the paws or maws of escaped animals and ten others are reported missing. The leader of the Georgian Ortodox Church has blamed former communist leaders who built the zoo using money obtained after they seized and melted down crosses and church bells and then used the money to build the zoo.

Reloading Class Today

I'll be spending most of the morning and all afternoon today at a reloading class. It is long over due that I start actually using the reloading equipment that I purchased (after getting the money for it as a gift) several years ago. Let me see, it was July 16, 2010 when I received it and it has sat around in the box since then. Yes, I am The Great Procrastinator.

It's Time To For Me Start Documenting Things...

...because it is evident that some arsehat has been coming to my house and scratching and etching things into the face of the bricks. Years ago, just after we first moved in, we noticed several swastikas and initials BM etched into the bricks among other things. They slowly multiplied over time. I told a neighbor about it, back then, and he said the son of the former residents had those initials. He also told me that the guy was a certifiable kook. I sat out at night waiting to see if I'd catch him and, soon after I started watching, the incidents of new ones just stopped. Once or twice in the 20 plus years that we have lived here, I have wondered if something was a new defacement of our homes exterior walls but I always just figured it must have been an old mark that I had either missed or forgotten about. The stuff we saw today though is definitely new.

This afternoon, after a BBQ, my son pointed out not initials but a complete name etched or carved into a brick on the side of our garage. The initials of that name are the same initials that the guy used to etch into the bricks. It seems our once resident kook may be back. We looked at the front of the house and found numerous new markings there too. Those are not carved or etched into the bricks so much as lightly, very lightly scraped into whatever grime is covering the bricks. One of the marks is a pentagram; is that the Twilight Zone theme music I am hearing right now!

Come Monday, after I have given the walls of my house a decent inspection for more such damage, I am going to report this to the county police. I want to start documenting all of this and also want to find out if anyone who goes by the name carved into the one brick has a local police record. If we have a nut job visiting and defacing our property, I want to make sure that we get our tax payer's worth of police involvement as well as having documentation that this is happening should this nut decide to take it any further and possibly accost my family members. I am not going to the police with the expectation they will do much of anything but it would be nice if they are already aware of the guy doing likewise elsewhere and can lock him up after I give them more such info. I most certainly am going to file a report with  them to assure it is all documented so as to cover my arse in the event I am forced to legally defend my family from a wackadoo. I certainly hope it does not come to something like that but it is certainly an uncomfortable feeling knowing there is a nut job etching his name, pentagrams and other symbols into the bricks of my home with something hard enough and sharp enough to mar brick and thus that could quite possibly be used as a dangerous weapon. Who knows what someone like that might try to do to us should we inadvertently stumble across him while in the act. It is also unsettling that maybe the same person used to scratch swastikas into the bricks as well many years ago. 

Maybe I will get lucky and the guy doing it will have a massive coronary or get arrested and sent to jail or just suddenly become normal and will no longer be a problem. My luck though never seems quite that good. Seriously, someone who is unstable enough to do shit like that may need some serious mental treatment and I for one would like to help assure he gets it, so off to the police on Monday I will go. I may also have to pick up some legal cans of OC spray for my wife and mother-in-law.

The Saturday Morning Sci-fi Ritual - What Happened To It?

Way back when I was a young kid, one of the great things about Friday nights and Saturday mornings (and sometimes afternoons) was that you could plop your butt in front of the tube and blast off to other worlds or fight alien creatures right here at home. Friday night and even more so Saturday mornings (for us little kids) were sci-fi time. I got to enjoy an awful lot of science fiction movies from the 50s and 60s on television (and a couple in the movie theater now and then) when I was young. It did not matter much that we only had a black and white TV for at least several years of my youth, a lot of the older movies were in B&W anyway and they were all great adventures regardless. When we got a color set, it just got better and the science fiction seemed all that more real to me.

After watching a couple or few cartoons - beginning with Colonel Bleep (the first cartoon to air each Saturday morning), it would be time to delve into aliens worlds, radiation poisoned America, the minds of madmen, forbidden jungles yet unexplored or anything more adult than a cartoon. Movies like The Creature From The Black Lagoon, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Plant, The Invasion of The Body Snatchers, Them, or probably what is one of my all times favorites if not actually my favorite 1950s sci-fi movie - The Thing From Another Planet (aka: The Thing) were their for our viewing pleasure and to fire up our imaginations. Getting engrossed in those films and maybe even being scared to the point of just about peeing in your pants was a right of passage back then and it was a sort of a ritual.

The other part of the ritual surrounding those movies was that after watching a good sci-fi, it would be out onto the street to play with my friends and imagine we were one of the adventurous characters in the movie that at least some of us had mutually watched unknown to one another at the time we were watching. Those were the days when we spent time alone watching a movie much like a kid today with a video game but the big difference is that after the movies we got together, socialized and played those parts - many times for hours on end. Too bad kids today do not do likewise. They all seem more self centered and engrossed in their I-pads, smart phones, video games, I-pods and so on that they have forgotten how to have fun playing together (unless they play a video game against one another but I mean physical play not video bullshit).

For those of you that do remember those days, or in other words are at least half as old as Methuselah like me, here is a short video clip that lists the so called 20 best sci-fi films of the 1950s. I don't agree with all of the selections, I think some great ones were left off of the list and some others were placed out of order of how good they were but that is personal taste. Regardless of what I think about which were best, this video is sure to bring back some fond memories to many of you older folks around my age.



I was going to include a video of the top 10 sci-fi movies of the 1960s but the video gives honorable mention to Barbarella which starred that commie loving cunt Jane Fonda and which also gave the number one rating to one of the worst sci-fi movies ever, in my opinion, 2001 A Space Odyssey. So, I did not bother to repost it here. How 2001... got number one and Planet of The Apes was rated as number two in comparison is beyond me but I am guessing that is how leftists would see it. I say leftists because of the inclusion of Barbarella as an honorable mention. Oh well, there were some excellent sci-fi movies in the 60s and that holds true for every decade along the way to now.

Of course, the best sci-fi movie of them all was made long before I was born and was made when my mom (RIP) was only 8 years old. Although the special effects and film techniques for a movie that old have been far surpassed today, and a lot of the acting was pretty corny, I still get a thrill out of watching it now and again. Now that I think of it - I suppose this one is my all time favorite, I think it may even beat out The Thing From Another World (hard to say right now, I guess they are running in a dead heat). Yes, I am talking about the 1933 classic King Kong. It is a sci-fi adventure movie like no other and none is ever likely to match it except maybe The Thing or possibly The Fifth Element (one of my other all time favorites in the sci-fi genre). Watch the trailer for King Kong here, or you can rent the whole thing on YouTube, Amazon or Netflix:



King Kong - it was and remains one heck of an excellent sci-fi movie, maybe the best ever and will always be among the very best I have ever seen.

Seeing those trailers makes me wish I could wake up on any Saturday morning, turn on the tube watch an episode of Colonel Bleep and then a decent to excellent sci-fi film. Those days seem to be lost forever though with the crap on TV in the early AM on Saturdays nowadays. Makes me wonder what happened to all those old movies and what happened to the ritual of Saturday morning Sci-fi.

The NAACP Reportedly Is Supporting A Woman Who Claimed To Be Black...

...but whom it reportedly has been alleged, by her claimed white biological parents, is actually white with no black ancestors. She is the leader of the local chapter of the NAACP in Spokane, WA (source).

While the NAACP brass may think it grand to support her by saying that race is not an issue in whom they hire and while they praise the wonderful work they claim she has done to support their cause and the cause of African Americans - they seem to be missing the big picture. The big picture is that she allegedly lied to get a job with the NAACP, then allegedly continued to live a lie as an imposter in order to maintain that job all the while she has held that position. Shouldn't those allegations be making the NAACP wonder what else she may have lied  or otherwise been dishonest about while doing her job in order to carry out the wonderful things they say she has accomplished. If she really lied about her race and perpetrated a ruse as an imposter - of what else was she capable to maintain her position with the NAACP?

So why isn't the NAACP asking those tough questions and telling us that they are going to do a thorough investigation of everything on which she has worked while employed by them to determine if her accomplishments were all achieved by way of cheating, swindling or chicanery that she was able to pull of due to her alleged willingness to deceive. Her integrity would be shot and so too could be the integrity of anything she has done for the NAACP if such was the case and that possibility, I think, needs to be addressed with a complete and thorough investigation.

I wonder though, since I have not heard the NAACP talking along those lines, do they even care if she possibly lied, cheated, pretended with those whom she dealt during her duties for the NAACP? If not, that sure says something pitiful about the premiere organization in the USA that says it operates for the 'advancement of colored people'.

Yet Another Woman With The Wrong Ammo

One should always be certain that the ammo you have on hand is the correct ammunition for the firearms you are loading and shooting. Take for instance the young lady in the photo below who has a nice gun and nice ammo and nice - oh never mind - but the ammo and gun do not mesh.

I posted this pic here, as usual for firearms safety education purposes and that alone; why else would I do so!

New Firearms Safety Series - Use The Right Ammo

I figure I have just about pounded to death 'Yet Another Woman With Her Finger On The Trigger' firearms safety education series I was running with here. Thus I also figure that it is time for something a little bit different but still in line with firearms safety education so here comes what I'll call the "Use The Right Ammo" or something like that set of posts.

As can been seen in the accompanying photo, posted as usual solely for firearms safety education purposes (why else why I post a pic like that here), the woman in the photo has an unloaded revolver and the only ammo she has on hand is obviously the wrong ammo for it.



Always use the correct ammunition in any firearm you plan to load and or shoot. Using the wrong ammunition could have serious and dire consequences.

So All Of A Sudden Chris Christie Is Very Pro 2nd Amendment...

...or so it seems he would like us to believe. I wonder who he's trying to kid. Oh right - that would be us - the Republican, conservative, libertarian and even right leaning Democrat rights and liberties loving voters.

I note though that one of the ways he would like to change gun laws in NJ is by becoming dictator of the Garden State. Thus his true colors evidently shine through, he apparently is about as far left as Obama on that subject. Even if he said that in jest, it shows his true colors, as far as I can see, because to me that would mean that to him the presidential campaign is little more than a joke - kind of like how a dictator would think - don't ya think!

More Great News Regarding The Recent Government Employee Data Breach...

...was reported by FoxNews today. The data that was stolen when federal government computer systems were recently hacked is already being sold on the so called Darknet (the shadier criminal side of the Internet). More here.

Much of, if not most of, that data is the personal information of at least 4 million government employees. This looks as if it may become a major nightmare because the stolen data it includes information of the most personal identifying type that was acquired by the government during background investigations of federal employees. Such things would include: name (of employee), social security number of employee and some family members, place of birth, date of birth, current and former addresses, banking information, other financial information, medical information, current and former employment, names of schools attended, types degrees achieved, names of the employees relatives, dates and places of birth for some of the relatives (not necessarily limited to the immediate family), employment info for the relatives, and addresses of relatives among other things. In essence, anyone out there with bad intent could buy a federal government employee's personal identifying data and easily and completely steal his or her identity totally screwing up their lives.


One of the most screwed up things about all of this is the havoc this could generate within government operations. This truly has the potential to bring down, or at least temporarily muddle, the operational capabilities of government agencies whose day to day operations depend upon workers being trustworthy. This quote from Former Counterintelligence Officer John Schindler says it well:

"Perhaps the most damaging aspect of this is not merely that four million people are vulnerable to compromise, through no fault of their own, but that the other side now so dominates the information battlespace that it can halt actions against them,” Schindler said. “If they get word that a American counterintelligence officer, in some agency, is on the trail of one of their agents, they can pull out the stops and create mayhem for him or her: run up debts falsely - they have all the relevant data, perhaps plant dirty money in bank accounts -they have all the financials too, and thereby cause any curious officials to lose their security clearances. Since that is what would happen.”

Another very screwed up thing is that this could wind up resulting in things much worse than identity theft or the disruption of government operations. Federal employees and retirees, and their families, could now become easy targets of anyone others who would harm them. This harm could come in the form of physical violence, harassment, blackmail (BGI files contain some very personal information about those who were investigated and can include failures to pay debts, unusual sexual habits, former drug use, former undesirable contacts, and so on). In my case, I am a bit concerned about physical harm as one or three folks that I arrested and or from whom I seized narcotics or sizeable amounts of illicit funds over the years were of the vindictive type who would readily seek violent revenge if presented with the opportunity. Then there are the terrorists for whom it would be a major achievement could they start to target and execute government employees or retirees in their homes. It is a scary thing.

I think the most screwed up thing though, related to all this, is that just this week the identities of another 9,500 government employees (local, state and federal,) were stolen. So, the breaches are ongoing and the government, inept as it is, is apparently helpless to prevent them. You can bet the government will also be totally inept when it comes to preventing all that stolen data from being utilized by criminal elements for whatever foul purposes they have in store for us.

Of course, the government has offered an identity protection type program to those who may have been effected by the breach. I received a letter from my former federal employer yesterday telling me I automatically will be covered for 18 months because my records are among those that were stolen. There was a blurb in the letter about additional protection being offered and while it did not specifically say so, I get the impression that the employee would have to pay for that extra protection out of pocket. That is of little solace to me as I can barely makes ends meet right now but I may decide to take them up on that offer and pay whatever I must pay because I sure could not afford to wind up broke if someone was to steal and use my identity to enrich themselves at my family's expense.

To date though, the government has not offered any type of protection from the potential for physical violence that may result from the breach and it is sure they will not offer it unless someone is specifically targeted and even then - who knows what they will or will not do. I think it will be pretty much up to each person whose personal identifying data was breached, to protect themselves and their families.

So far, my personnel data has been comprised at Target, Home Depot, Blue Cross and now this (and there may be one or two other incidents that do not come to mind right now). This one is the worst as those businesses mentioned did not have even half of the info that the government had relative to me and my family. I don't know what actions concerning protection of my assets to take except to accept the governments offer for the identity protection service. I am thinking about changing bank accounts and possibly taking my funds out of the government's Thrift Savings Plan (and then getting screwed under the Obama tax rates) but that is about all of which I can think right now. I am also going to go over precautionary methods, with my family, relative to protecting us and I will put some sort of plan in place for our defense in the event, no matter how unlikely, something like that may result due to our information being available to any undesirable who can afford to buy it.

Oh what a world...

The Irony Is Two Fold, Double Edged and Double Barelled

A NJ woman was stabbed to death, outside of her home, by her ex-boyfriend last week. Yet, she had papers filed with the courts to prevent that and a restraining order had been issued by the courts to keep him away from her. Not that those pieces of paper really ever prevent anything but there is another fold to the paperwork. The victim had filed all appropriate paperwork in application for a pistol permit. Reportedly, the police chief involved, in essence, sat on the paperwork and did not approve the permit application within the 30 days as required by law - she reportedly applied back on April 21st (source). 

Had that piece of paper been approved instead of a useless restraining order that may have been issued promptly but for naught, she would have been able to legally arm herself with a handgun (but there is a twist on this - more later) and may have turned the tables on her attacker, who killed her with a knife by stabbing her to death, and shot him down before he could have done so. The police only then acted swiftly but again not fast enough when they commenced a manhunt for the suspect. They reportedly found him dead of a self inflicted gunshot wound. 

He kills her with a knife while she is awaiting a gun permit, the application paperwork for which is delayed by the police chief, while she was supposedly protected by a promptly issued paper tiger restraining order, and the suspect then commits suicide with what I am guessing was an illegally owned gun that no police chief made him wait to obtain and for which he maybe was not required to file any paperwork, and then the armed police acted swiftly, although sadly too late, on the woman's behalf but yet not swiftly enough to capture her assailant who they should have restrained in the first place. If that is not irony two fold, double edged and double barreled - nothing is. And to add insult to injury and just a twist more of the ironic, get a load of this:

"...even if Bowne had obtained her permit and used a gun to protect herself, she could theoretically be facing charges today because she would not have been allowed to legally carry the gun outside with her. "

The guns laws in this country are fucked up and those in places like NY State, NYC, NJ, MA, Chicago and CA are fucked up beyond belief!

Yet Another Woman With Her Finger On The Trigger (Nope, Not This Time)

I've posted quite a few photos of women with their fingers inappropriately on the triggers of firearms, all in the name of firearm's safety, here on my blog. So, if you aren't supposed to place your trigger finger on the trigger until ready to shoot, what are you supposed to do with your booger picker in the meantime?

Without further ado, here is a photo of a woman doing just what she should be doing regarding trigger finger placement when holding guns that one is not about to shoot.

DHS Has Not Been Giving Sufficient Info To TSA...

...one of its own agencies, to be able to properly vet airport employees to determine if they are linked to terrorism. Thus TSA was unable to identify 73 people who are suspected of or actually have links to terrorism (more here) who work at U.S. airports.

DHS is truly one of the most useless federal departments to have ever been created. It is no wonder that its some of its employees suffer from the worst morale in government service (more on that here) and no wonder that agencies under it such as TSA and ICE seemingly do little more than flounder about in their daily business.
