No this is not a joke..really they are going to
build a George W. Bush Presidential Library. For 300 million dollars...no, really....they are...and this is the kicker...cities and universaries are fighting over the honor to have said library built there. This is no joke, so stop lauging...'cause it's not funny...Ok, it's a little funny....ok, ok, it's A LOT funny..My mind is boggled...what are they going to put in his library? Books on how to be a Yali cheerleader? We know he READ one book....the one about the goat, that he read to the kids while he sat there in "shock and awe" as his aide whispered into his ear that the towers had been attacked by terrorist....A book on avoiding the last 6 months or so of your military service. Lets see, 'Cocaine, how to use it and not get caught"..Oh, and business books....at least two "How to fail in two or more business's"...and "Lessons Learned from My Failed Business's"(a very, very small book)..and mabye a book that tells you how to go from a failed business owner to owning a very small percentage of a baseball club, parlay that with help from Daddy's bidness friends into being governor to the ultimate scam....President Of The United States...I'm sure it will be full of books telling us how to give all them bidness cronies of his Daddy's very important jobs, whether they are qualified for them or not..who care's I'M PRESIDENT. Just think:"Six years ago he couldn't spell president ...now he are one.."Oh, well....if Forest Gump had any self respect or pride he would tell them...no thanks...no Library...I'm not worthy of a Library....yeah, right...like that will ever happen..As you may or may not know...Baylor University in Waco is in the run for the Library....so that is a good thing...no really...because if they do get the Library? HUHUHUH....I will be able to drive less than 20 miles and walk around with a sign that says "Thank you Goddess ......he's president no more," on one side and on the other side"fuckyou, you forest gump acting asshole." or words to that effect....Although I have a feeling after all the posts I have written about my feelings for ole Forest Gump....the powers that be are under direct orders to "shoot that bitch on sight"..

(associated press)NEIL BUSH'S FIRM TIED TO MOM'S GIFT.(now that's a fucking shocker)BARBARA BUSH'S KATRINA DONATION SPECIFIED USE OF HIS SOFTWARE GOODS.Houston.....Former first lady Barbara Bush gave relif money to a hurricane relief fund on the condition that it be spent to buy educational software from her son Neil Bush's company.An aide to former President George Bush would not disclose the amount earmarked for purchases from Ignite Learning.Since Mrs. Bush's gift, the Ignite Learning program has been given to eight public schools with high numbers of Hurricane katrine evacuees, the Hoston Cronicle reported."Mrs. Bush wanted to do something specifically for education and specifically for the thousands of students flooding into Houston schools." said Jean Becker, the former president's chief of staff.Mrs. Bush chose to promote Ignite because she supports her son and has genuine enthusiasm for his company's program, Ms. Becker said.Two years ago, the Houston school district board wrestled with conflict of interest concerns over the Ignite progam. Neil Bush had helped raise $115,000 for the district's philanthropic fund from donors who insisted the money be spent on his company's software.The district accepted the donation and used them to pay half the costs of new Ignite software, about $10,000 per school.Well......fuckme sideways......does this stink or what????? and no one raises an eye brow or a finger or makes known in any way....hey folks..this shit stinks..and it just keeps on getting better..
LAWMAKERS GIFTS: NO DETAILS NEEDEDState ethics panel says legislators have to give descriptions..not amounts..by Christy Hope (Austin Bureau)Austin..The Texas Ethics Commission decided Friday that public officials who receive cash or other gifts don't have to disclose the value, stunning op-government advocates."This is absurd, dangerous and completely undermines the reform legislation," said Rep. Burnam, D-Fort Worth.The seven commission members, appointed by the governor,(good hair perry)lieutenant governor and Hose speaker, wrestled with disclosure laws that compel public officails to report gifts over $250. The law calls for a description of the gift, and some commissioners said indicating simply "cash"----without an amount---- satisfies the statue."This ruling leaves a big enough loop-hole to drive an armored truck full of money through," said Craig McDonald, director of Texas for Public Justice, which advocates for public disclosure. "All you would have to say is 'a truck.'"So basically what happened is....no a motherfucking...thing...they couldn't get 6 people to vote for a change... after all the talk about making it harder for lobbyist to buy votes......it is just the same...and you wonder why I want to get Kinky Friedman into the Governor's Mansion...Texas politics at its best....fuckme till I do the Texas Two Step..Like I said..it just keeps getting better.FEMA WON'T REOPEN 4 NO-BID KATRINA DEALS; POLITICS CHARGED....(No! You're
kidding....dirty politics????? fuckity fuck fuck fuck)Firms say contracts merit-based; review finds waste in three...By Hope Yen ..(associated press)Washington..Fema has broken its promise to reopen four multimillion-dollar no-bid contracts for Hurricane Katrina work,including three that federal auditors say wasted significant amounts of money.Officials said they awarded the four contracts last Oct. to speed recovery efforts that might have been slowed by competive bidding. Some critics, however, suggested they were rewards for politically connected firms.Acting FEMA Director R. David Paulison pledged last fall to rebid the contracts, which were awarded to Shaw Group Inc., Bechtel Corp., CH2M Hill Inc. and Fouor Corp. Later, the agency acknowledged the rebidding wouldn't happen until Feb.This week, FEMA said the contracts wouldn't be rebid after all. In fact, they have been extended, in part because of good work performance, said Michael Widomske, spokesman for FEMA."They are continuing the work," Mr. Widomske said, and the agency is now focused on competive bids for disaster relief contracts for the next hurricane season beginning June 1. (in other words, bend over New Orleans, they are going to fuck you up the ass one more time)An additional $1.5 billion in work promised to small businesses also has yet to be awarded.A review by the Government Accountablity Office of 13 major contracts said las week the government had wasted millions of dollars,due mostly to poor planing by FEMA. Among the 13 were three of the four no-bid contracts for temporary housing, worth up to $500 million each, that went to three major firms with extensive government ties.(how many of you have seen the pictures on your tv of the acres of trailor's yet to be delivered to anyone).The fourth housing contractor, the Shaw Group, was not including in the audit."The Shaw Group's lobbyist, Joe Albaugh, is a former FEMA director and friend of President Bush's.(surprise....surprise....) Bechtel CEO Riley Bechtel served on Mr. Bush's Export Council from 2003-2004, and CH2M Hill Inc. and Flour Corp. have done extensive previous work for the government.(which means they are very very experienced in fucking the public)The companies have denied political connections were a factor....ok, there is just a ton of more shit just like this on every page, every newspaper, ever magazine, every fucking tv station except for Fox news....and it is like a sickness...greed is the new cancer....except it doesn't kill the host... the host takes your money, takes it home and worships it..I don't worry about getting the bird flu, getting breast cancer, aids, or even getting hit by a truck on I-fucking 35....the GREED CANCER will kill us all...They will have it all...and we will be on the streets with our hat in our hand and our ass in a sling..If any of you are still here reading my rant...thanks.I imagine there are many of you rolling your eyes and shaking your head, thinking "there the bitch goes again"....all I have to say to you...is......the Greed Cancer has you on its list..and you will be gobbled up along with the rest...unless...you get off your lazy asses and go vote them fucking leaches out of office and bring in some people who really do care...well, we are truly fucked....Ok, I'm done...another day....another rant....

I could go hit some more garage sales.....yeah...that's the ticket...more garage sales...... see ya'll later...I have a great long lenght scream fest at the crap I found in today's paper....so brace yourself.....
The only draw back for the cookoff is the rain put a damper on the tractor pull...tooooo much mud. Proceeds from the cookoff go to purchase a pumper truck for our local fire dept.

Located in rural Fayette county between Houston and San Antonio, the churches feature authentic 19th century European style churches from Czech, German and other similar cultures in the country-side near Schulenburg. Nesteled in the rolling hills of small farming communities, the churches have some of the most beautifully painted and stenciled ceilings, delicately ornate altars, marbelized columns and lovely stained glass windows. From the outside, the churches look like many American country churches built in the late 1800's and early 1900's, with facades clad in white frame siding or stone, arched windows and lone steeples reaching up into the Texas sky. However when you enter the churches one finds not a simple wooden interior but elaborate faux-finished interiors painted in bright colors, gold leaf and finely fitted woodwork, all the work of intinerant painters. Cost for the trip is $69,which includes transportation, continental breakfast, tour fees, graatuities for driver and guide and snacks on the return trip. Wow.............is that cool or what?
West Lady Trojans win 2 in District 8-aaa softball and the boys won two in non-district games.The West Trojan lifters are heading to a state meet...Holy shit...ops...anyhow there is a picture in the paper of storm damage..high winds caused damage to the restrooms at the West Fair Grounds Sunday night when it passed through the city.

I guess for .25 it is worth a read..I also found a 2006 I love Lucy Calendar for $1....have no need for it, but figure the pictures might be fun to put in frames..or maybe one of you in blogville is a lucy fan and would want it...Picked up a pair of new canvas shoes for $2, and 4 of the prettiest blue glasses..but they look like glass mugs..the color blue is so pretty..thought I would use them as flower pots for tulips and put them on the porch..they were .25 each..also got some pillow cases...25 each...put them on old pilllows for Rocky to sleep on when he naps on the porch.....I stick them in old boxes and baskets and he lolls around in them like a pasha. (LSU is playing DUKE).Now..the library books...(by the way..ole Henrietta managed to get her little dig to me when I brought back Cold Skin. I was telling her how weird it was....not a bad weird, but a good weird...and she said.."Well, guess who checked it for the library..". I said, "I know, I did...and I'm glad, it's a great book..it's just weird.."...she smirked..and said"I just didn't want you to think I bought a 'weird book' for the library....".......(the name I called her in my head is a name I got from a great joke 1,000 years ago...in my head I called her a crunt.)ask me about the joke sometime...huhu....The books..the books..1)....the Pale Horseman by Bernard Cornwell....about King Alfred the Great.(late 9th century)2)The Witness by Dee Henderson....ahhhhhhhh fuck!!

Heinlein? Its diameter is approximately 83 kilometers or 52 miles. It is officially named the Heinlein Crater. I would like to have a star named after me...or a crater on the moon...that would be nice...or a back country road lined with blue bonnets...the Jackiesue Blue Bonnet Lane.....which would cross paths with the Dr.Pepper Road and Rocky Road Blue Bell Path. It would dead end into The Road To Nowhere..ok, going to read my West Newspaper...via con goddess...
Remember the guy in Afghanistand that was going to be killed because he switched from Muslim to Christianity? Good news....they probably won't behead him because they have decided ...................he's nuts..................So the Kabul government is seeking to advert an international confrontation without giving ground on Islamic law. The best way to do that is to decide that the guy is mentally unstable and unfit to stand trial...
The religious views and faiths of the people of these Islamic countries is not going to go away just because the Americans say so...We can't even straighten out the problems with our own relgious groups ...how are we going to fix it for a bunch of people that have been struggling with these problems for thousands of years....To hear ole forest tell it...it's just a matter of years and everything will be peachy keen and hunky dory....yeah......right...but not in is presidency....the fucker actually said it will all be ok and work out(the war), but it won't happen during his presidency.....gee, think we can do something to assure that....? Like maybe, get him impeached? Some lovely good news is that we now have a goup of nominees running for different offices in congress and they have dubbed themselves the Fighting Democrats. They are soldiers that have fought in Iraq and Afghanistand. Of the 10 veterans of the current candidates for Congress, all but one of them are Democrats. The Fighting Democrats, contend their battlefield experience will allow them to critize the war without being written off as naive and weak on defense...Ms. Duckworth narrowly won the Democratic nomination for Congress in a primary race Tuesday for the House seat held by Republican Rep. Henry Hyde, who is retiring after 32 years..Tammy Duckworth is a former Army helicopter pilot who lost both legs in a gernade attack in Iraq. In November, Ms. Duckworth will face Sen. Peter Roskam, who drew support from VP Dick Cheney, who in a fund raiser brought in $200,000. This is in Illinois..so all you people in Illinois...get out and vote for Ms. Dulock...get them Republicans out of office.....

He will be relieving a man who has been there for a year and he will be there for a year...he will be assuming the post of weather official....that is all I will say except he finds a deserted cabin, a lighthouse, and a mysterious castaway....then darkness..................hooooboy....it is only182 pages long, but it is the weirdest 182 pages of reading I have ever ever read......even now that I have finished reading it...I don't know what to make of it...trust me on this one......it'as a yafta...you have to read it......It is bill paying day......have to run errands, go to the library, pay bills, check snail mail, get some packages ready to mail out..get some stamps, get west news and get ready to go to laundry....ickypoo... see ya'll later.......

The trial is believed to be a first of its kind and highlights a struggle between religious conservatives and reformists over what shape Islam should take here four years after the ouster of the Islamic fundamentalist Taliban regime..Mr. Rahman is in dention and can't be interviewed....but if found guilty.........the newly elected government.....will kill him.....How do you think he feels about the democracy that you brought to his country now...Forest aka Flaming Asshole Gump...?????I have to go now...I know if I keep dwelling on this I may go balistic and Goddess only knows what I am capable of doing......like kick someones stupid ass...? rip off their heads and shit down their necks?BIP THEM INTO THE 22ND CENTURY???????? oh man....I need a Dublin Dr. Perpperand a bowl of Blue Bell...any flavor.....

S. Naval Academy as well as the crypt of John Paul Jones, one of the Navy's founders and a great hero in the Revolutionary War. The freeded up troops will be sent to Iraq and Afghanistand.......surprise.....another brilliant way to keep money in the pentagon? they are making the soldiers pay for battle gear that was either distroyed or damaged during the war.I swear I am not making this shit up....made one guy pay $570 for a kevlar vest that was damaged by road side bomb.. when his home town found out about it ..the radio station raised money and paid him for it...judas priest..And don't want anyone to think that I am against anyone stepping up and admitting to being sexually abused.

I think I have mentioned before that when it rains in West, one of two things happens:1).the electricity goes out,or 2) the phones get fucked up....(or both)Well, the electric stayed on but some time during Sat. night I lost the phone..it is Tuesday and about noon time they got my phone fixed....thank the goddess....So I had no phone, no computer, no blogging, no buds, nada, nuffin, zero, zilch, zippadeedoodoo...it was a sad and weepy weekend in West..Can't tell you how many times I would jump up to go post something and nope...no telephone..no computer...So to say I was pissed Sunday, Monday and half of today...is an understatement...had all that venom built up against Jerry Jones and Terrell Owens....fuckers...for the ones that don't understand the gravity about this jackass suiting up in a Dallas cowboy uniform well, I will give a little recap..when Terrell Ownens played for the fucking 49er's(another hated team by Cowboy fans..not as much as the Eagles, but hated ..)they were doing something they hadn't done in a long time..they were kicking our asses and kicking it good...after T.O. made a touchdown he went toward the sidelines and then instead ran out into the middle of the field where the Dallas Star is and stood on it and raised his arms up into the air...like he was some demi-god...fucker.....ok, that was bad enough...but it happened again...and while he was going through his little act, one of the Cowboys ran up and knocked him ass over tea kettle...(wish I could remember who that player is...just can't remember)...but what really fucking tied a knot in my tail was when they were interviewing him after the game...he said he didn't know why the player hit him and knocked him down...said it must have been because he blocked him on the goal line earlier on in the game...when you are so out of touch with the real world that you just don't get why that would have pissed off the players and fans...well, you deserve to get treated like shit by other players and by the ones on your own team...he just doesn't get it at all...he is an inflated ego with an assshole..or an asshole with an inflated ego...not sure which...basically......he has a personality like a sack full of hemorrhoids....and I don't want that dipship asswipe on my teams...I don't care if we go all season with no losses..I would rather lose without him then to win with him......And to top it off ....he played for the Philadelphia fucking Eagles....the team that ole Jackiesue hates more than any team in the league..the team with the most gawdawful fans ever...so that doesn't help either...I tell my grandaughters that hating someone is like taking poison and hopping that person will die from it...so I don't HATE him....but like I tell the girls.....I dislike him intensely....fuckme till I holler....
the sound of wailing..crying, weeping, gnashing of teeth, sobbing, and with snot running down her face JACKIESUE cries out to the Goddess....:'why, oh Goddess why? why would you do this to me....? what have i ever done to deserve such misery? nooooooooo, please tell me it isn't true.......telll me those stupid fuckers didn't just sign Terrell Owens....'..............................they really really did? oh fuckity fuck fuck fuck...tripple fuck...oh Goddess, kill me now.....smite me..bip me into a coma...or at least until his contract runs out.....fuck!

Another weird and wonderful day in West, by Gawd, Texas....Remember a few weeks back when the town of West thought they were going to have to cancel the bbq cook off because it was so dry and danger of wild fires?..The bbq is this weekend..started last night and it goes through tonight...It started raining last night and rained all night long and this morning and stopped about 9am or so...and supposed to rain again later on and this evening...Wind was a blowing, thundering, lightning and just your typical Texas thunderstorm with lots of the wet stuff....I love irony.....I had to go out this morning to the library as it closes at noon and doesn't open till Monday at 3pm..so wanted to get some reading material...The library is at the south end of town, I live at north end of town...the rodeo grounds where the bbq cookoff is is right behind and to the west of the library....it wasen't raining so turned the heater on and rolled down the window...the closer I got to the library the more I could smell the bbq smokers...there were between 70-85 smokers out there cranking out beef briskets, beef and pork ribs, chops and steaks...oh my goddess...the aroma was unfuckingbelieveable....front of my elvis presley tshirt was soaked from drool by the time I got to the library...and their not selling any of the bbq this year...don't know why, but boy am I pissed..I could have done with a bbq sandwich ....or a slab of ribs...enough to piss off the pope...On to the rest of the news in West.....Now...am I the only one that never heard of Czech bagpipe players? At the McLennan(our county)-Hill Chapter of the Czech Heritage Society of Texas they are hosting a program describing the Czech bagpipes of the Czech Republic at 7pm on March 28th at the West Community Center.The program will consist of a musical and cultural history of the Czech bagpipes, with rare photos from the Czech Republic.
Call of Dudy, the first and only full-length documentary film on the Czech bagpipe tradition, now on DVD, will be screened.(add your own doody jokes here)Fresh off the success of a Mid-west tour,(hooboy) Czech-American bagpiper Michael Cwach and Texas-native, Prague-based filmmaker Jefe Brown(is that a czech name??) are currently on a tour of the state as they are to visit approximately 15 Texas towns in presenting the new documentary fim Call of Dudy('duty' means bagpipes in Czech).Bagpipes are generally associaed with the Celtic Fringe of Europe, but one of the richest and most ethnically diverse bagpipe traditions can be found in Central Europe,especially in the Czech Lands and neighboring Bavaria....well, who woulda thunkit...Damn, the West High Schol Trojan Band missed becoming a "Sweepstakes Band." It had something to do with getting an l instead of ll.....or something...We celebrated 2 marriages,

Oh, man you are going to love this one.....in DAM NEWS this morning there was an article on ole Kinky and I laughed my ass off....here 'tis....
NOT YOUR USUAL BLARNEY.....but then, Kinky isn't your usual politician.Kinky Friedman's response to being photographed violating the state's open container law....the Kinkster was drinking a beer while riding in a car as grand marshal of the Greenville Avenue St. Patrick's Day parade..showcases why so many find his entertainer-turned-politician personality appealing.(Picture of Kinky taking a taste of Guiness. ) Kinky admitted violating the laws of man but appealed to a higher authority:"Guinness is the drink that kept the Irish from taking over the world. It would be unthinkable not to have a Guiness during a St. Patrick's Day parade. In fact, it would be spiritually wrong."(The next day speaking in Fort Worth, the Kinkster tossed off an even better line:"I admit to drinking it, but I did not swallow."
No, we're not endorsing public drinking as long as your funny. Nor do we believe that being a quick draw with a one-liner is a qualification for the governorship.As we've said previously, if Kinky wants voters to put him on the ballot, he's got to lay out a thoughtful, comprehensive vision.But only the bluest of the bluenoses would have maintained scowls in the face of Kinky's good-humored response to this "scandal."Can you image how a typical politician would have handled it? He would have issued groveling apologies and immediately scheduled a photo op at a rehab clinic. The usual interest groups would have issued tut-tutty press releasess, and we'd be off to the dismal races.
All of us force politicians to be like this. We magnify missteps and peccadillos out of proportion. The media, talk radio, blogs, special interests and entire modern partisan machine attack flaws as a nuclear reactor does a lump of uranium:drawing astonishing amounts of heat out of the smallest bit of nothing.This is not good for America. Kinky Friedman reminds us that to err is human and laughing at oneself can be a sign of grace...I wish I knew who wrote this so I could give full credit to them...It was in editorial pages in DAM NEWS....
I had heard he had commited some great blunder but never knew what it was and then saw this in the paper...Now you see why even if he doesn't make it to the governors mansion...I'm still for Kinky....As Will Rogers said, "This would be a great time in the world for some man to come along that knew something."
Help!!!!!!!!! Actually this is sort of for me...but thought if I
could (with all of your help) come up with a snappy, cute, funny catch phrase or a theme song for Kinky's champaign it might help him and help me while I am out stumping for my friend of Jewish persuasion..because I don't think the titles of his songs will do it...'they don't make Jews like Jesus any more.'...'Get your buscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed.'...and 'Asshole from El Paso'I did go to his web site and there is alot more information about what he plans on doing and what he wants to do...I am more impressed now than I was before,a lot more impressed..I still don't think me asking people to 'give it up for Kinky' is going to work with all of the people out there...ha...-So....put your heads together and see what you can come up with....its kind of like one of Denise's caption contests......but not...Come on ya'll....give it up for Kinky....
Radio spot features Willie Nelson, touts virtues of biodiesel fuel.By Wayne Slater(Senior Political Writer for DAM NEWS.Austin, Texas.Kinky Friedman unveiled a radio spot Wednesday touting incentives for alternative energy, marking the campaigns effort to begin portraying the singer and mystery novelist as a gubernatorial candidate who's serious about the issues.The 60-second ad features musician Willie Nelson, who calls Mr. Friedman the candidate of "clean energy and clean government." it promotes biodiesel, a fuel made from new and used vegetable oils and animal fats, and marks a departure from the hyperkinetic "Kinkytoon" spot on the campaign Web site."With a little imagination, Texas can lead the nation into energy independence," says Mr. Nelson.Mr. Friedman is seeking a spot as an independent for governor and must collect 45,540 signatures by May 11 to get on the November ballot.Campaign manager Dean Barkley said promoting alternative energy is the first in a series of campaign initiatives focusing on isssues without abandoning Mr. Friedman's distinctive persona. In the ad, Mr. Friedman is in lively form, promising that as governor, he would order the use of biodiesel to fuel school buses and the state's fleet of vehicles."And anyone who is on renewable fuels of any kind," he said, apparently digressing from the actual campaign initiative, "gets free parking forever in Texas."Mr. Friedman said that his car does not use biodiesel fuel but that he intends to buy one that does.
The campaign said it had purchased broadcast time on 150 stations statewide for the spot, which encourages Texans to sign the petitions.The campaign played the radio ad for reporters in the parking lot of an Austin biodiesel supplier.Carrying a cigar and wearing his black cowboy hat, Mr. Friedman struggled to be heard over the music of a nearby rock band participating in the South by Southwest Music Festival.He said politicians are responsible for the state's problems."I'm not a politician, " he said. "I haven't even been indicted yet."He said Republican Gov. Rick Perry and Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn "have 59 years of political life between them. These are the people who created the situation. Are you going to bring in somebody like that to fix it?"He singled out Mr. Perry's proposal for a multibillion-dollar network of toll roads, utility lines and passenger and freight rail lines that eventually could reach many parts of the state.Mr. Friedman said he opposes toll roads and would name six existing highways for singers Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Buddy Holly,Bob Wills, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Janis Joplin.M
eanwhile, Mrs. Strayhorn announced that 2002 Democratic gubernatorial nominee Tony Sanchez and former House Speaker Rayford Price, a Republican, have signed her petitions to put her name on the ballot."Republicans, Democrats and independent signers are all Texans who care about the future of Texas and know tht Carole Keeton Strayhorn will shake up state government in Austin," she said.A spokesman for Democratic nominee Chris Bell said the signatures underscore her status as "an insider obsession and an electoral mirage."Ok...my take on this is........promising me free parking for life(tell me how you can pull that one off, Kinkster.) is not enough to make people elect him..No one wants him to stop being who he is...but we need more serious information from the campaign about very serious problems that Texas has...Biodiesel fuel is a good start..but keep them coming...and as for Strayhorn the 'one tough grannie'....well, sugar....I got your tought grannie right here....I stayed with the guy who brung me(democrats) untill I wanted something they weren't able to give me...a better state and a better place for children to be raised...I,unlike her, didn't hop from party to party looking for the right fit and one she thought she could sway to meet her needs...She went from Democrat to Republican to Independent.....make up your mind gannie...who da fuck are ya..So even though I have my doubts..I am still going to give it up for Kinky....fuckme till I smoke illegal cigars....
I am having a great telephone day...First my nephew Phillip, then my Dr. called and one of my meds is in...hooray....and then I get the best phone call of all...from my old boss and buddy Thomas Wiggley...or 'wiggley'.....he owned a paint company and I worked for him as paint person, wallpaper person, cashier, driver and delivery person, or just what ever they needed done person..He is the one that taught me how to custom match paints and stains...I was goooooood....Could match drops of paint on caps, plastic, watch straps, etc...had the eye...but I excelled at stain matching and it is a lot harder to do...But I rocked...don't know why,but I have the eye for it...anyhow, I left that job and they adventually went out of business, not because I left, Jones Blair shut the shop down. So we hadn't seen each other in years and years and he called out of the blue..it was great...we laughed called each other sonofabitch...and caught each other up on what is going on...He told me the funniest story about how he had named his "dick" Russell the one-eyed muscle.....I cracked up... and Russell's last name is not Wiggley but Wiggleme...So it is Russell the One-eyed Muscle Wiggleme......Now you see why he and I were such good friends...His wife Christine would listen to us go on about weird shit and just shake her head...He has 2 sons Butch and Ace...what a character..He and Christine are going to sign my Kinky Friedman list....I went to City Hall and got permission to go door to door....He didn't know who Kinky Friedman was...I had to tell them what my truck looked like and was asked not to go after dark as there were so many old folks that would be afraid of anyone knocking on their door after dark...I have also decided not to ask them to sign for Kinky Friedman either...these old folks will freak out when they hear the word Kinky...so am going to ask them to sign to get Richard Friedman on the ballot....First place I'm going is to the old farts home .....they will sign anything if I give them candy.Ok, I am off to get people to give it up for Kinky.....
Went to sleep last night at around 10:30pm...I actually didn't make Letterman..a first....slept till 6:45 am...and its 9:46am and have had cream of wheat, cup of tea and phone call from my Nephew Phillip. His computer has a virus and wanted me to know so I wouldn't think he was not emailing me for any reason, other than his computer is down. How sweet this boy is..and what a small world. He is a plumber and was in Waco 5-6 years back and Thom was his salesman and he said he really liked him and then at my sisters funeral(his mom) one of the girls mentioned her dad worked at the place where he got all his supplies and then realized that Thom was his cousin...how weird..Going to go to city hall today and see if it is ok for me to go door to door and get signatures for Kinky..We have some sort of city law about door to door sales men that you either have to get permission from the city or a permit of some kind..Not sure..Would be funny as hell if I started knocking on doors and got arrested for getting people to give it up for Kinky...Phillip also told me that his brother David who is in Iraq has been there for 3 years..we are hoping that he will be home on R&R for the reunion and Westfest this Labor Day weekend...He and Loralee, his wife are going to come down before the reunion and get a room at the Czech Inn..he thinks the name of the hotel is funny...told him ..."wait till you meet the citizens"....Damn, I hate to go to town...ugh..but need grub...Least it is a pretty day out..Has been in the 70's and sunny....Oh crap...read in the paper this am...that they released Terrell Owen from Eagles and the Cowboys released our receiver and we might be in the running to get T.O. ...I have no doubt that our coach is more than capable of keeping him in line, but don't want that asshole on my team...to have to root and want him to do good cause he is one of us...fuckity fuck fuck fuck...ok.....I'm going to West...ya'll come back and see us...ya'hea..................
