Eating Our Seed Corn: A Weekend at the Reb


Sullivan's Travelers



IC'S father pointed out and rightly so "he didn't get his seed back". Around
these parts we have another saying that is similar. "He's eating his seed corn".
America. You ate yer seed corn. You are killing your own future. No one is doing
anything to you that you haven't allowed them to do. Is that clear enough for
you? Are you so daft that we need to stamp it into your forehead? Virgil's Sunday Musing

Around the Reb we have some pretty good discussions about what's wrong with our beloved America, and what, maybe, we need to do to tend to it. One of the things I look forward to every weekend are Virgil's Sunday Musings. The haunt in the man's voice comes from the American soil; from combat missions overseas; from raising a family; from reading, observing, and listening. Won't find anything like it anywhere else, I can tell you. There's red blood in his veins, and Irish blood. It's good to be American!

This weekend, our friend MKFreeberg posted a heartfelt piece about being Christian -- about Ann Rice's conversion away from Christianity: CINO. Wordsmith Col. B. Bunny pens a post called GOP's Distaste for Political Warfare. Our Logger Blogger Friend, Fuchs, describes the nightmare of Communism: The Lost City. And our friend Walking Horse wants to know, What Makes Him Tick? Obama, that is.

On that subject, don't miss Neo-Neocon's Still Not Getting it.

Yours truly, in all Humility, took a whack at making the whiners mad in New Post at Bayonet and Postscript.

And of course . . . . Rule 5 Shenanigans!

Thanks to our friend Theo for allowing us to be here. We love it!

Shortly after a British Airways flight had reached its cruising altitude, the captain announced:
'Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain.Welcome to Flight 293, non-stop from London Heathrow to Toronto . The weather ahead is good, so we should have a smooth uneventful flight. So sit back,relax and..... OH, MY GOD !'


Silence followed!

Some moments later the captain came back on the intercom.
'Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry if I scared you . While I was talking to you, a flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!'

One Irish passenger yelled, 'be jezis you should see the back of mine! '

Have you ever wondered why A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G, and H are the letters used to define bra sizes?

If you have wondered why, but couldn't figure out what the letters stood for, it is about time you became informed!

{A} Almost Boobs...
{B} Barely there.
{C} Can't Complain!
{D} Dang!
{DD} Double dang!
{E} Enormous!
{F} Fake.
{G} Get a reduction.
{H} Help me, I've fallen and I can't get up!

Oh, don’t forget the German bra.

Buchanan High School in Clovis, Calif., Endures Loss of Seven Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, Most From Any School in California

I'll be in Clovis at the end of August to attend my father-in-law's 70th birthday gathering. I called him this morning to give him the heads up on today's front-page story at the Los Angeles Times, "Wars Take a Heavy Toll on One California School." He thanked me, although Clovis is a small town, and he was well familiar with the losses:

The seventh funeral was Friday. The church was full, even strangers lined the streets and everyone in sight stopped what they were doing and bowed their heads as Brian Piercy's body moved from church to cemetery — the same as they had done for six others.

Seven boys from Clovis' Buchanan High Shool have been killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

With Piercy's death, Buchanan has the somber distinction of more war dead than any other school in California.

There's no sure answer as to how such a thing could happen. But many people in this Central Valley city have a theory. They say Clovis is an extraordinarily patriotic community and its children are raised on God and country, duty and honor. They're willing to serve and willing to die, the same as Clovis' generations who went before them.

Buchanan's school colors are red, white and blue. The stadium is named Veteran's Memorial. Former classmates and older siblings come back in uniform for campus visits. Friday night football games include a moment of silence for Buchanan's fallen soldiers.

"The cheerleaders wear six stars on their uniforms. I guess it will be seven now," said 15-year-old Julie Thaxter. "We're not proud they died, but we're proud they fought. It makes others from here even more ready to go and honor them. My brother wants to join. He's 14 and he's been set on it since he was 8."

Halloween is HERE!................from Rico

Known for their love of lavish parties, $100# steak, heavy drinking, the Worst Family has decided that it would NOT wait for Halloween this year. They agreed to 'preview' their respective costumes now (fancy dress for my civilized friends) before seeing what the Vice-Doofus and wife were going to wear.

When Michelle ma Belle came into the oval office wearing nothing but a pair of thigh-high vinyl go-go boots, the Won, horrified, asked: "What for the love of Allah kind of costume is THAT?"
- He didn't even need a teleprompter.

"I'm going as Puss-and-boots, and don't you EVEN take that tone with ME!" was the huffy reply, accompanied by a very Klingon-like scowl.

When the First Comrade appeared in turn, he was fully nude, whittling on a potato with a Chicago-style switchblade. When ready, he placed the potato on the end of his male organ. "You crazy MoFo! What you be doin?" asked the second-lady (hisself being considered the First Lady after since appearing on "The View").

"I'm going as a dick-tater!" he smugly replied, chin and nose elevated Mussoline-style. "And, let me clarify: Halloween is HERE. Now, and All year!....'cause I can and I sez so!!!"
- He didn't even need a teleprompter.
