Ho Ho Ho Need Help At Christmas - Send Me A Christmas Wish-List Email

I know it's kind of late in the season to start this but since I will be relying on emails instead of snail mail I may be able to pull this off in time for Christmas.

What I am doing here is asking that anyone aware of a family in need ask the parents in that family to enter a brief comment here to this post letting Santa Claus know what they would like to get their child for Christmas but may need some help in acquiring it this year in this terrible economy. I will pick a winner at random from among all entries I receive and will try to send the parents at least one item from the wish-list or will send a gift card to help them purchase something for their kid(s). That way they have at least a little something  extra to put under the tree, or in the stocking, or on the table this year.

Please keep it reasonable, I will not be buying anyone anything above about $50 (and will not gift anything illegal or that I consider tasteless). I will accept comments beginning tonight through Thursday, December 18th at 11:59 PM. I will ask the winning parent(s) to send me contact info at a later date so I can arrange shipment of the gift to the parents. I will announce the winner on Friday December 19th in a new post and in the comments section of this post. My selection of the winner, the type and value of the prize and the awarding of the prize is final. I retain the right to cancel this offer at any time including after entries have been submitted. By your entry into this contest, you agree without reservation to hold me harmless and indemnify in any and all legal actions that are directly or indirectly brought because of your participation in this event or because of your use or gifting of the prize or due to any other consideration at all related to this contest and the results. If you don't agree, don't enter. Other than that, have a very Merry Christmas.

Feel free to link to this post to spread the word. Thanks.

All the best,

Perfect Timing

Baby, Hazel Grace, popped out with impeccable timing being born at 10:11 on 12/13/14. Too bad her parents weren't as good at naming her - I mean who in their right mind names their daughter Hazel? See:

Holy Gift Giving Geezers, Batman

Yes folks, I am a geezer and a gift giver (as are we all) but I am holy (as relative to my past me) because I am already wrapping my Christmas gifts and writing out my Christmas cards for this year. If that does not make me saintly (this year), then nothing does. That if only because I have never done anything else that might qualify me for that honor.

Yes, I am writing Christmas cards two weeks before Christmas instead of only days before (or days after) Christmas as I usually wind up doing. I also have completed all of my really necessary Christmas shopping; well with the exception of only a few gifts for some people whom I suppose should receive something from me. That is amazing for me - this early in the season.

Of course, as has been usual for the past 47 years or more, I have to shop on Christmas Eve, otherwise it would not be Christmas the next day as far as I am concerned. I usually save that shopping spree for an extra present for my wife and or kids. Otherwise, I am pretty much finished. I think I need presents for only two people in my family for whom I have not gotten them already! That is pretty damned good for me this early. Add to that, the fact that, today, I wrapped most of the ones I already bought and I could be a saint.

Even if it does really not come close to qualifying me for sainthood, it makes me feel good and quite satisfied with my own efforts this year.

Whatever - hope you are
having half as good a day as me,

I Cracked Open My Golden Monkey Tripel Ale At 1203 Hours Today...

...and am still nursing it. Since it is a 1 pint, 9.6 fluid ounce sized ale, that is almost understandable, that is the still nursing it part is almost understandable, if you think having one that early is bad, go screw yourself. I am almost ready for a second one but I suppose most would be well into their second one by now.

It is a Golden Monkey Tripel from the Victory Brewing Company of Downington, PA. It has 9.5% alcohol content and is a spiced ale. It is damned good too and it is reliable in that regard as I can testify after having enjoyed them several times now! I have to hand it to the brewers at Victory, they have a winner with this one. It also has a darned good price, selling for about $5.79 a bottle (if I remember right) at Costco as opposed to most finer ales, with that high an alcohol content, they sell that go for about $8 to $15 a bottle.

I am not the only one thinking it is a great tasting ale, look to this link for a review with all that fancy shit about how its flavor (it tastes like great ale to me):

Somehow, I Think She Just Doesn't Understand The Meaning Of Virginity

It may be be a well meant gesture on her part to have her virginity 'restored' but it sure seems to me that Brazil's Miss BumBum winner simply does not comprehend the meaning of virginity or the word nevermore. She simply does not understand that no matter what she (or her doctor) does now, she will never again be a virgin. Virginity - it's here until it's gone and then as quoth the Raven - "nevermore".

More (as in additional info, not virginity) here.

There Are Monsters Among Us Who Deserve To Die Terribly

I Think The Scum Who Did This Deserve To Die A Most Terrible Death:

See: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/12/10/police-examine-gas-station-video-in-hunt-for-killer-who-set-mississippi-teen-on/

They poured lighter fluid down her throat and poured more all over her and set her afire. Thus ended the life a young woman at the hands of fiends whom I believe deserve only to live only long enough to suffer unbearable agony at the hands of an expert in long term torture. Then, I think, they should die a horrible death by way of even longer term torture.

Right now, I feel so outraged to say they should get no mercy regardless of anything that might be considered a mitigating factor by some liberal criminal excusing attorney piece of shit. I believe they deserve the worst that can be given and maybe that I even would be glad to be their inquisitor, torturer and executioner regardless of the consequences. Let me assure you, if it was legal, it would take years for them to die at my hands and they would be tortured for every living moment. There are monsters among us and the pieces of shit that did this are among the most horrible.

How can I close, as I usually do, by wishing anyone all the best after saying that? I admit I cannot. I only find myself wishing that whomever did this suffers terribly at the hands of her avengers.

Interrogation Techniques Used On Terrorists

Today In History - They Got The Vote

Yes men, today's date is that other date in December that will live in infamy. It was on this date, December 10, 1869, that the beginning of the end commenced and before the sun set on that day, we were doomed. Never before had anything like this happened in the long history of the world. Nowhere else on earth had any politicians ever before been looney enough to legislate such nonsense let alone had there ever been a head of state as suicidal as was the Governor of the Territory of Wyoming. It was on that sadly fateful day, that one man and one ma alone brought all men to their knees when this was encated. In other words, women won and we lost now that they had been granted the vote. Within only 51 years of the passage of the very first law allowing women to vote and hold office, women became so powerful as to be able to bring about the following catastrophes:

The Volstead Act

Need I say more? Well, if you think I must then let me point out:

Prohibition
Prohibition
Prohibition
Prohibition
Prohibition

Now maybe you get the picture. Yes, those genteelmen in Wyoming doomed us all. Now, since they repealed it, we pay taxes through our noses for it. Never would have been that way had those mindless arsehats in Wyoming not caved.

When One Of These Hoodlums Is Shot And Killed...

...will it be a repeat of Fergusson if the shooter was a white Bosnian who was protecting his or her life from hammer wielding black thugs who were pounding on their cars and threatening their lives? I would be tthat yes, that is exactly what will happen and Al Sharpton, the blabbermouth of blabbermouths will be out race bating as usual and totally disregarding the facts. I have not seen one of the Fergusson protestors out there to protest the racial beating of the latest Bosnian victim nor to protest the obvious racially motivated killing of the prior one but I am sure they would be out there calling for blood if a Bosnian killed one of these thugs in self defense. You can probably safely bet that at least one such assailant will be shot or beaten to death in the near future if these attacks keep happening as I certainly doubt the Bosnian community will settle for continued attacks and will defend themselves as legally justifiable and as necessary.

See: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/12/08/fbi-called-to-investigate-whether-attack-on-bosnian-woman-hate-crime/

And see: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/12/03/where-outrage-st-louis-bosnian-community-sees-hammer-murder-as-hate-crime/

That authorities are not saying the killing was a racially motivated hate crime is beyond comprehension but then that would not be politically correct; yet, it probably would be the truth.

"A military man can scarcely pride himself on having "smitten a sleeping enemy"..."

If you don't know what I mean with the title to this post then it is evident that you are not a student of U.S. or world history. The events that took place, on December 7, 1941, were some of the most important in the history of the world. They changed the United States of America - they changed the world - forever. It was on that day that the Empire of Japan launched a sneak attack on the U.S. Naval base at Pearl Harbor and those words, in this post's title, reference that attack.

I don't think I can do it any more justice than I did in a previous pot, so I'll just link to that post. If you don't know about what took place at Pearl Harbor, on that day, do yourself the favor of reading a bit about it in my post of seven years ago or here in the post I wrote a year ago. Those events truly set the USA on a new course and the events that followed while we set off on that new course assured there would be an America today. December 7, 1941 was a date of importance as much as is 9/11, it was a date on which American united, it was "....a date which will live in infamy..."!



Shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, in early January 1942, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the commander in chief of Japan's naval forces, replied to a newspaper editor about the editor's assessment of the attack: "A military man can scarcely pride himself on having "smitten a sleeping enemy"; it is more a matter of shame, simply, for the one smitten. I would rather you made your appraisal after seeing what the enemy does, since it is certain that, angered and outraged, he will soon launch a determined counterattack." America indeed launched a counter attack, one of a magnitude never before and never since matched. If you do nothing else today, learn something about December 7, 1941 and its aftermath because it truly was an earth shattering and world changing date.

All the best,
Glenn

Doing The Secret Santa Thing...

...this year and it is the first time I have ever partaken in it. I think there are eight of us who are joining in for it. We all agreed on a limit of $250 per person's gift but I think that was changed by some tightwad in the group to $200. That is too bad because some of the best gifts on my wish list go for about $300-$3450 (we all agreed that if the gift cost more than the amount we pledged, then the recipient is to pay the remainder of the balance). I also picked out and listed several lower priced items though and to tell the truth it probably would be nicer to get them instead of a single high priced item.

As for my list, here it is:

I gave my Secret Santa a lot of choices and he or she most certainly could gift me something other than what is on my list but the list will help give an idea of what I would like.

We were supposed to share this info with one another on Thanksgiving but that did not work out, so we did it last weekend at the combined birthday party for my son, daughter and son-in-law. Almost everyone was insisting that their Secret Santa give them cash and that kind of irked my son who was the one who had come up with the idea of doing the whole Secret Santa thing in the first place. That was everyone except for me and my son. I had my list made up in time for Thanksgiving and posted it on my daughter's fridge when we ate dinner there for the holiday. Everyone else, after being excoriated by my son (and reminded by me that if we were all giving each other $200-$250 bucks we may as well just not exchange gifts and keep our money because it would work out the same) finally came up with some ideas for gifts for their wish lists.

I shopped for my recipient's gift today. I cannot say for whom I got the present nor what I got, lest that person see here that I am his or her Secret Santa, but I will say that I bought the gifts today. Well, I bought the Secret Santa gift today and I also added a second one that was not on that person's wish list, just as a bonus over and above what we were supposed to spend. I know am almost certain that he or she will like them.

I also have bought a few other gifts and am probably all done Christmas shopping except for my mandatory Christmas Eve shopping frenzy. It is just not right if I do not shop on Christmas Eve. As for the other gifts I already purchased they include some fine ales and spirits among other things.

Best Selfie Ever And Certainly A Happy Young Woman

Yeah, maybe you have seen it before, at least the short version of it. This one though seems to be the full length version. All I can say about that is that it exhibits a youthful vibrance that probably only rarely has been matched. Man oh man does it look as if she is enjoying herself; must have been a Friday after work or a Saturday morning on a long weekend. 

Not safe for work, not safe for kids (depending on age) or the wife and maybe not safe for your heart if you are an elderly gentleman or have a heart condition as yes - it does contain some semi-nekidness!

No Hunting Today

Damn, that didn't work out. Here I still am at friggin home far from the hunting grounds. It looks like I'll be leaving later this afternoon or early this evening. Of course, that means I'll only get in one more day or deer and bear hunting tomorrow - the final day for the regular hunting season. Now, if I had a muzzle loader, crossbow or a bow I could have extended that another week. You can bet that a crossbow is on my Christmas wish-list!

About To Be Gone Hunting

Am going to had upstate today to get in a day and a half of hunting. Had figured on leaving at about 0300 but was just to darned spent after work yesterday and only woke up around 0530. Still didn't have the energy I needed to get going, so I slept  bit more. I am just not feeling it today though but will get going sooner or later. With luck, I'll drag my arse out the door by about 0900. That should mean I'll be hunting by 1PM at the latest giving me a few hours in the woods. If I don't bag anything this afternoon, it will wind up being an overnighter and I'll have all day tomorrow - the last day of the season - for my hunt.

Did You Get A Flu Shot This Year? More Bad News From The CDC!

So, did you get a flu shot this year? I did but it may not help me much in preventing me from coming down with the flu. The screwed up thing about it is that now the CDC is saying the vaccine that was given to folks this time may not be all that effective against this year's strain of the flu. In addition, they are indicating that this years variety is expected to cause more hospitalizations and deaths of those who come down with it. Next thing you know they will be telling us this is the zombie strain! More here.

The Eric Garner Killing - The Grand Jury Decision - My Two Cents

The Grand Jury failed to bring a true bill (indict) New York City Police Department Officer Daniel Pantaleo in the killing of Eric Garner (source). Mr. Garner had been informed he was under arrest (for selling loose cigarettes on the streets of Staten Island in July 2014) and was then placed into a chokehold by the officer when he resisted arrest. I see a possible flaw with the Grand Jury decision despite not having all of the evidence available to me. As in a grand jury investigation though, I think that I have enough evidence to determine probable cause at least on which to base my opinion.

First of all, the medical examiner returned a finding of homicide (not as defined in a dictionary but as defined by NY State law - http://ypdcrime.com/penal.law/article125.htm#p125.00). Secondly, while many - including the officer - claim he did not have criminal intent to harm Mr. Garner, the officer's intent says nothing toward certain of the charges he could have, and almost certainly should have, been facing. Criminally negligent homicide (involuntary manslaughter) does not require him having intent to kill someone, it has to do with having done so by way of being criminally negligent. I could walk down the street shooting my guns in this direction and that and kill someone. I would almost certainly be charged with at least criminally negligent homicide because the killing, on the face of it, would have been the result of me negligently firing my gun and that negligence would be seen as rising to the criminal level. I think that there was more than enough probable cause to believe that officer Pantaleo was criminally negligent.

The thing that truly irks me though is the fact that a choke hold is considered deadly force in any training I received (within at least 15 years of my retirement from LE) and allow me to assure you - my training in that area has been extensive. The restraint technique used by the officer apparently was questionable as a chokehold but would not have been questioned in the training I received as far as I can recall. It was, in my opinion, a choke hold. It was designed to cut off blood flow in the carotid arteries. Cutting off that blow flow does not always result in death, just as a gunshot does not, but in all likelihood it can and often does result in death - thus it is considered deadly force. The NYPD banned officers from using chokeholds and that ban was in effect when Mr. Garner was killed. Regardless of the ban (and note even with the ban, it may have been allowed in cases where deadly force was permitted) I have watched the video several times and do not see the need for the application of deadly force and it certainly seems like it was deadly force to me. I also am familiar with the law in NY State covering the application of deadly force - the degree of threat against the officers never rose, in my opinion based on 32 years of LE work, to that level as required by NY State law. Of course, the officer could have seen and articulated that differently being he was the one in the situation. Yet, I am more than just a bit flummoxed as to why the officer was not charged. Note, I am not saying he is guilty of anything but that it seems to me there was more than enough evidence to find probable cause that a crime was committed relative to the killing of Mr. Garner and there seems to have been more than enough evidence to indicate probable cause that the officer had committed that crime. Maybe if the authorities are transparent, we will see that there was evidence to indicate otherwise but I am blinded to it now as I have not seen or heard that evidence. In Fergusson, MO, there was ample evidence to completely exonerate the Officer Wilson in the death of Michael Brown but it just does not seem to be even close to the same in this case.

Short of other evidence, therein lies enough for me to have a reasonable and strong doubt of the wisdom behind the grand jury decision. Having had a wealth of first extensive experience with grand juries - I know that, in a GJ proceeding, very little evidence is needed to bring an indictment as would be to bring a conviction in criminal court, that since it is probable cause being determined and not guilt. That sufficient evidence seems to be there - with no apparent mitigating factors such as Mr. Garner's resistance to arrest rising to the level where deadly force would have been needed to end the threat to the officers posed by him - to have indicted is crystal clear to me. (Again, without all the evidence but I have never been in a  grand jury proceeding where all the evidence was presented as was in Fergusson and I don't know if all of it was presented in this case.)  Still, the decision has me wondering if this was not a case of  prejudicial treatment (not racial) in favor of a police officer by the prosecutor. Knowing NYS politics, that is unlikely but it is possible, especially with those considerations in mind. So, I question the decision of the grand jury not to find a true bill. Of course, all that means is I would like to know and examine more of the evidence. Hopefully it will be divulged (if not already done) so that we mere citizens can review it and rest assured that our police departments and governments are not running amok and totally disregarding even our most basic right - that to life. Sadly though, I fear the worst in that regard.

Mind you, I am not saying - even for one instant - that I believe that this was a departmental thing or even a multiple officer offense. During the arrest, Mr. Garner obviously resisted and the officers, who were ordered to enforce the ridiculous law were, under the circumstances, more than justified to use enough proper force against him to negate the threat he posed by way of his resistance. I think that all of the officers used proper restraint during the process with the possible exception of Officer Pantaleo. Bringing Mr. Garne to the ground to control and handcuff him was the prudent and proper thing to do - again under the circumstances. Doing so could have been easily accomplished without deadly force but again it seems to me that the officer in question almost immediately resorted to the use of deadly force in as much as I believe that the application of a choke hold was the use of deadly force. As to the other officers, none used a weapon, they did not shoot him with a TASER nor did they stun Mr. Garner with a stun gun, they did not spray him with OC Spray (pepper spray) nor did the beat him with flashlights or night sticks nor with expandable batons nor even their fists. They brought him to and held him on the ground and handcuffed him. They apparently used the minimum amount of force necessary to restrain him. I salute them in that regard, too bad though that they were not able to handle it without violence but then it was Mr. Garner who resisted. I am not blaming him for his own death, merely explaining why physical force was used at all and that in no way, in my opinion, should negate the restrictions on the use of deadly force.

All that aside, for now, I have to abide by the findings of the GJ just as should everyone else. For the federal government to want to prosecute this officer in a civil rights case seems ridiculous at best. To date, there has been no mention of any hard evidence to indicate there was a racial motive in this case except that one man was white and the other black. If that is enough to say that this was a racially motivated homicide and to bring such charges, then every criminal act committed by a person of one any given race against a person of any other given race, should have to be charged as a race biased crime. If, however, there is actual evidence of racial bias having been exercised against Mr. Garner by Officer Pantaleo, then let the civil rights case be brought against the officer because racial bias has no place in law enforcement. Otherwise, the federal government should get off of the politically fueled race baiting merry-go-round.

As for the incident coming about in the first place: That is the fault of over intrusive government in general in that such governments insist on enacting and enforcing over restrictive laws upon the liberties of the citizenry. Think about why this incident happened. It came about because NY City and NY State governments insisted on passing laws taxing tobacco - what is in essence a weed that one could grow in one's backyard. Then after that, they decided to enforce those laws relative to that taxation to the point where they actively sought out violators for arrest and prosecution - suspects whom they believed were illegally selling not huge amounts of untaxed tobacco but individual cigarettes called loosies.

Mind you, I am in agreement that if the law taxes tobacco within the intended constitutional restrictions on government, then tobacco should not be sold without collection and remittance, by the seller, of the tax due to the taxing authority. However, let's consider that in NY marijuana possession does not incur an arrest if the amount is under 25 grams. Marijuana, last time I checked, is still considered an illegal and dangerous drug in NY state. Yet the authorities in New York city (as everywhere else) pursue a man for ridiculously minor offense relative to a legal substance, with a fervor beyond reason, for something that probably should not even be illegal in the first place (the taxation on a weed). They seem hell-bent on destroying any liberties of the People merely in order to fill their coffers. To seek out, arrest and prosecute a man for selling loose cigarettes is not only overly restrictive of liberties, it is a huge waste of vital police manpower and other resources that could have been used to solve or even prevent crimes of  much higher degree of criminality. Such police action unnecessarily places both the public and police officers in harm's way as can be seen by the outcome of this event and it is ultimately all based upon the greed for money and power by government officials. 

Add to that the attitude of all to many police officers today, that they MUST enforce the law AT ALL COSTS because they are sworn to do so. The fact is that they are sworn first to support and defend the Constitution; never are they sworn to violate rights or liberties. Based on that alone, I must say, we need change from the way things are done and that change is primarily wrapped around the now unbridled rampant abuse of our governments trampling over our rights and liberties. We need to reign in government, and make those in it abide by the Constitution as it was intended and not as progressives or tyrants (both on the right or left) would interpret it.

Until such changes are made, tragedies like this are bound to repeat themselves and continue almost unabated because there is no penalty paid by government authorities for committing them. Yes, Officer Pantaleo will in all likelihood face departmental charges and may lose his job. There almost certainly will be a civil claim filed (one by the family of Mr. Garner in the amount of 75 million dollars has already been reported - source 880 WCBS radio in NYC last night). The government will likely pay a huge amount of dollars by way of a settlement but that does not effect the law makers and enforcers in any way except maybe for bad press. They are indemnified by law and covered by our tax dollars. So, while the government must pay, the bureaucrats have no to little true remorse, and no incentive to change the way they do business, because they pay with money out of our pockets not theirs. They will continue to enact and enforce liberty restricting and petty laws in order to help fill their coffers and boost their power with money brought in from taxes and fines and will continue to do so unrestrained unless we put a stop to it. As to the fines and unnecessary taxation, the truth is that instead of the government actually making money by way of fines and taxation in such cases, the government (the City of NY in this case) will almost assuredly loose tens of millions of tax dollars to settle the lawsuit with Mr. Garner's family and you can be assured that they will, in all likelihood, make a settlement with them. You can also be certain, that unless we change things by way of the ballot box, they will continue along their tyrannical merry way to enact and enforce more and more liberty restricting laws on a regular basis.

All the best,
Glenn B

 

Parental Fears

I just sent my son a text message. He probably will tell me, when I see him tonight, that I am an asshole because of what I sent him. Yet, I am pretty sure he will heed my advice - anyway I hope he does. You see, he works in Brooklyn in or very near to a predominantly low to mid-income African American neighborhood. Based on past events of a similar nature, I would guess that there will be protests there over the Eric Garner grand jury decision not to indict the NYPD cop for the killing of Mr. Garner. There may also be violent riots or incidents. There is a good chance that if there is violence, it will be racially motivated and will be against whites; again that is based on past events of a similar nature. I hope that trouble does not come his way but if it does - I just gave him some advice on how to avoid trouble - I hope he takes it.

All the best,

FUCK THE PROTESTORS IN FERGUSSON, FUCK THE MEDIA, FUCK THE RACE BAITERS

Then again - fuck everything. I am in a foul mood tonight.

I suppose this article had something to do with getting me fired up but I was already pissed when I walked in the door after work tonight and it had to do with reports about the racists in Fergusson (the protesting ones). It just got whole shitload worse when I read that article.

By the way, if those reported black and Hispanic suspects pieces of shit in St. Louis, MO who allegedly killed the white guy with hammers yesterday, pounding on him repeatedly with them, were not doing so for racial motives, if that was not a bias and hate crime, if that was not related to Fergusson - well then - if I were to call every black protestor in Fergusson a nigger, it would not be racist either - right (sarcastically rolling eyes now)! Well, of course, that's not right but let's face it folks - in the media and in the eyes of politicians and bureaucrats and in the eyes of most African Americans (or so it seems) it is only a racist crime if it was committed by a white man (or maybe an Asian) against a black man. If it is a black man who committed the crime against a white man, then even when it was obviously racist, it is almost guaranteed to be called just about anything but racism and I say FUCK THAT TOO.

This bullshit is sickening and needs to end now or we will have to live with the consequences which I imagine will not be without mass violence on a scale not seen in at least decades if not longer.
