A last word on Toon in and see ya later

If you want any change in DC, you have to fire the Senate. This doesn’t mean getting rid of the GOP Senator and replacing IT with a Donkey. Get rid of the Party critters and put in people that are not lawyers, local politicians or TV hucksters. No Pastors, priests or nuns either, they have their own agenda and have the practice of running auto dà fé street shows once in power.

Try farmers, plumbers and electricians for a difference. That’s what the Founding Fathers had in mind anyway.

This is it for me. I’m tearing out the built ins this afternoon; the painters are starting Wednesday. That gives me time to tape up the holes in the walls and get out of the way. I’ll be back after Labor Day.
For now I’m off faster than a prom dress in the motel room.

August 24, 2008, this site came into being with this post: 
Welcome.
With the exceptions of my time in the hospital for surgery and recovery ( about a month and a couple days total) I posted every day for the past nine years.

Now the renovations to the house are going to cause a break in posting. All the interior work I was to do is done. I have to now tear out the built in desks and tape up the holes, repair all marks in the walls and remove the electrical plate covers. The furniture has been sold or put into storage. When the desks come out that ends the computer space so those also go into storage. This should occur Monday next, perhaps Tuesday.

The painters are coming in sometime around 6 Aug; after they finish the flooring people are ripping out the wall to wall carpet and installing hardwood floors. in the bedrooms, dining room and kitchen. As soon as they finish, the contractor starts on the addition which becomes my studio.

This place will look like a war zone for August and probably until after Labor Day. I haven’t had a vacation in Vermont nor since moving to South Carolina. I’m taking one. It’s going to be a photo vacation. A rental Pace Arrow will make the travel sweet and all back roads to Wyoming, back across to Vermont and down the mountains to home. Should take about five weeks maybe six. My other half has all the accrued leave from her Federal job she needs.

My neighbor who was in the contracting business in GC’s the job for me keeping the folks putting  up the addition on the straight and narrow  so I’m free to leave and not worry about the construction.

Something the Left LOVES…

Cultural Appropriation.

 
In NYC and especially in Seattle, the act of telling some poor white shlub he or she cannot open a store that is not of their ethnicity. Nope you can’t open a Chinese, Malay, Mexican, Ethiopian or any other type of emporium not of your culture, by law. Screw your White Privilege.

The NYT Makes Cooking Barbecue a Racial Issue

A New York Times podcast entitled “Who Has the Right to Make Barbecue?” suggests that Africans own the right to cook barbecue because the dish “originated as plantation feast food – a dish cultivated by enslaved Africans who were often given pigs at the end of harvest season.”

The authors, Wesley Morris and Jenna Wortham, both black journalists who live in Brooklyn, write that barbecue is “trending and gentrifying as quickly as our neighborhoods,” and they’re “not exactly sure how to feel about it.”

In order to “talk through our feelings,” Morris and Wortham went to a popular barbecue joint owned by a Chinese-American chef from Queens.

While they said that the food reminded them “of just how universal and beautiful our country’s culture of food can be,” their podcast made barbecue into a racial issue and suggests that people should feel guilty for cooking the dish if they’re not black.

The Left uses this term to foist Identity Politics on the population as a whole to divide and antagonize the various parties against one another. Additionally, the concept of white privilege is denigrated. The folly of this idea come to the front because it is impossible not to mix cultures when different ethnic are mingling.

HOWEVER,

if these Lefty racist assholes want to practice Cultural Appropriation nonsense let us take it all the way to where no appropriation may take place.

Any group that hyphenates there ethnic background may not appropriate anything American, in food, clothing, means of travel, housing, currency, communications or healthcare. Nor may they partake of the American welfare system,Social Security or Education. That also includes jobs here; they must only use that which belongs to their own culture from where they come.

I’m quite sure the Loony Left doesn’t have this depth of “CULTURAL APPROPRIATION” in mind when they start their bulls#|t ranting.

Ponder this

One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.

Note to the Readers

I’m taking a week off; I’m doing house renovations, moving a door in a room from  one end of the wall to another and all the electrical that goes with it. Then I have a built in cabinet and storage to renovate and the electrical lighting inside it. We’re having an addition put on; that I am NOT doing. But there is painting and hardwood flooring to go down.

All this comes behind the work I do. See you in a week. (I hope)
