One is transparent, the other can be seen straight through.

Remember when I asked you to read and then sign the petition to remove the Navy Distinguished Public Service Award from the cold grasping fingers of John Murtha? The signatures are way over 54,000 now, and still growing. Thank you for your support in this matter.

Cary, we’ll never see anything about this in the MSM!

Don’t bet on it. There are already rumblings, like this this piece from Bing West of the National Review Online (i know, but hey, it’s a start):

Distinguished Disservice

In bestowing the navy’s highest civilian medal, the Distinguished Public Service Award, upon Rep. John P. Murtha (D., Pa.) last month, the secretary of the Navy acted as a supplicant — an accountant happy to be given funds and disinclined to question the source. The secretary (Donald C. Winter, a Bush administration holdover who has since left the job) demonstrated that he did not understand his official role as a leader when the country is at war. Murtha smeared the reputation of a generation of Marines, and to reward him alongside several other members of Congress for earmarking funds served to exonerate the congressman, who never apologized for besmirching the honor of our fighting men.

So, why the mention of windows in the title? No, I am not shilling for Microsoft. I am, however, going to go over to the church this morning and start putting windows in the new building. It’s a retrofit, so there will be some challenges, but nothing I can’t handle.

Mmmmm – power tools and sawdust! I can hardly wait – but the church is located in an established neighborhood, so I have to wait until a “reasonable hour” before starting the work – can’t disturb the neighbors, you know!

1384 and a wake up!

Mine was pretty good – drove cab Friday (24 hour shift, with breaks) and then Saturday morning after a few hours sleep we were going to go up to Kingman to visit the cousins. Unfortunately, TMBWitW developed a nasty migraine on the way, and we didn’t even make it to Wickenburg before turning around and heading home again.

It’s OK though – she got some sleep and took some migraine meds and was MUCH better by Saturday evening. The cousins are coming down on the 25th, so we’ll still get to see them.

I went over to check out an opportunity with a delivery company as an independent contractor this morning; we’ll see how that turns out.

Now, I’m going to cruise through my blog list and leave comments here and there; I suggest you do the same. I’m also going to be spending time with MEG in between blogs. Hope you have a good week!

1385 and a wake up!

I’m wearing my Lighting Sharp polo today – because the cab company requires a collar on their drivers.

Yes, I’m back driving a cab on Fridays to pick up the slack and ease the crunch a little bit. I promise you I won’t pick up any aggressive-looking dudes at bars in the west Valley, if you promise to pray for my safety anyway.

Happy Birthday to my brother, Rob!

1387 and a wake up!

What an appropriate day for this story. A few choice quotes:

“If the United States had a system like ours, we wouldn’t have so many problems here in Mexico,” Agustin Villordo, 27, of Puebla, Mexico, said Tuesday as he shopped for a hunting rifle.

Bzzt! Wrong answer! Thank you for playing, we have many nice parting gifts for you. The opposite is true – if Mexico had laws like the US, ya’ll wouldn’t have the problems you are having – every citizen would be able to defend themselves, and the cartels would be foolish to attack ANYONE not knowing whether or not they were armed!

“It is necessary to reduce the sale of weapons, particularly of high-power weapons, in the United States,” President Felipe Calderón said during a visit to Britain on Monday.

Bzzt! Wrong answer! Thank you for playing, we have many nice parting gifts for you. The opposite is true – if Mexico would allow the sales of high-powered weapons (read: anything stronger than a rubber band), ya’ll wouldn’t have the problems you are having – every citizen would be able to defend themselves, and the cartels would be foolish to attack ANYONE not knowing how well armed they were!

“Mexico has very strict gun laws, which clearly have done nothing to prevent criminals and drug cartels from obtaining firearms, and it’s left many of the honest residents of Mexico defenseless,” said Chris Cox, chief lobbyist for the National Rifle Association.

“I don’t think anybody could argue that Mexico’s gun-control laws have been an effective crime-fighting tool.”

Except, of course, for the leftist defeatists quoted above you, Chris – people who have no idea what it means or takes to keep a citizenry free of oppression and fear.

No, folks – it isn’t an April Fool’s joke. Obama really does want to take away our second amendment rights. After all, he pretty much has the press sewn up and they have, by default, abandoned the first amendment. They only print what TEH ONE wants us to know.

Here’s something I want YOU to know and to never forget (courtesy of Texas Fred):
