Well, tonight is the end of the old and the beginning of the new year. I certainly hope that the new year is better than this last one has been.

Mamamontezz has to work, so there won't be any partying going on at the Citidal this year. I don't know if I'll even stay up to watch the Ball drop in Times Square.

To all of you brave few that continue to read my blatherings, I want to wish you all the happiest and most successful of New Years. May your hit counters overflow and your spammers catch a virus and crash. May all your endevours bring you happiness.

A Toast: To Health,Wealth, and Happiness! Pr0st!

While all the Liberals are decrying that Bush is "undercutting" the UN relief efforts for the Tsunami victims (they ARE after all, attempting to determine a venue to discuss what should be done!); Those Eeeeevil American Corporations are stepping up to the plate and getting the job done faster than even our own government is, to the tune of over $75 Million in cash and drugs/supplies so far.

The next time you see some patchouli soaked,starbucks sipping,GFW, "compassionate" liberal spouting off on how Eeeeevil American corporations are, and how "stingy" Americans are, give them a good brain cleaning enema with their own Latte.

Yeah, Satan is the Prince of Darkness and all that, but sometimes he has the best advertising for his minions (his minions according to the Moonbatted Leftards in Kalifornia and Taxachuttes!)

Go check out the link in this posting from the Evil One and TELL me that it isn't the best marriage of Steppenwolf and awsome F-18 flight footage You've ever had the privilage to experience! Be sure to turn your speakers up to megablast!

Well, the death toll stands at least at 40,000 people in the wake of the recent earthquake induced Tsunami in the Indian Ocean.

This is something that a human mind can not really comprehend, the number is just too large. The island of Sumatra, the size of California, was moved 100 feet to the southwest in the earthquake. Power such as capable of doing that is incomprehensible.

America was in the forefront of offering aid. The US Navy was utilyzing survelliance planes to try to help locate survivors even as the waters were just starting to recede. The US government has pledged $25M in initial emergency aid within hours of the event, and I'm sure that much more will be forthcoming in the near future.

How long will it be before the Leftards start saying "We aren't doing enough" or "It was Americas fault that this happened"?

Gut Rumbles is three years old today. Go give Rob a hearty congratulations.

Rob doesn't nibble at life, he takes huge bites. Agree or disagree with him; he'll always make you think, and usually give you a hearty laugh to boot.

Here's another column by David Horowitz which shows the immorality of the Left's position towards Iraq. He says it as only he can.

Tony Blankley has a great opinion piece about Donald Rumsfeld where he takes Rummy's detractors to the woodshed and delivers some well deserved Cluebat™ upside their mush filled heads.

Thanks to Sir George Turner(you need to cut back on work and post more on your OWN site George!) for sending Mama a link to a two and a half hour power point presentation of Thomas P.M. Barnett, a senior Analyst/Professor for the Navy War College.

Mr. Barnetts contention is that we must develop a new paradigm in dealing with other countries in the face of Globalization. He proposes that, while the US is undoubtedly number one in the world in the capability of projecting military force, we are woefully inadequate in securing a stable long term peace after the conflict is won, and that, in essence, it takes a "global village", working in unision, to effect a stable peace.

He avers that we are dealing in the world by how we want it to be, not how, in reality, it really is. And that misalignment of views is dangerous to our national security.

At first I found myself resistant to some of his ideas, thinking them just a reiteration of Leftist Moonbat ideas of a Global Community singing Kum-Ba-Ya in perfect harmony. But in furthur listening to him I found that Mr. Barnett is hardly a Leftist Moonbat, he is a hardheaded realist. Yes, some of his ideas at first glance seem to smack of a Idealists vision, but he backs up his contentions in a cogent, realistic way, and what is even more unusual, he provides a step by step road map of how to achieve his vision of the world. He admits that it won't be easy, but that it is inevitable, and the big question is, how much pain it will take before it is achieved.

I think that his ideas merit serious study and consideration.

I put his web site at the top of my "People that make me think" blogroll, and I will be visiting it often.

So. My brother comes over to check out the net.....I don't know how impressed he was, I have a habit of showing things I'M interested in, not what floats his boat. But he did find a couple of things he liked, like this sweet 55' Chevy Bel Aire:

Now I think I might have gotten him interested...you can find/buy cars with this thing?!? And rare parts? And talk to hot chicks women?

Maybe Santa will fix him up with his own system this Christmas. I sure hope so, cause I sure can't!

Here is another entry on the Dutch awakening to the Islamic Fundementalist threat.

As I've stated before, the Dutch have what is arguably the most "tolerant" society on Earth. The Moonbats here have made a mantra of "if we just understand and tolerate the Muslims, they will understand that they have nothing to fear from us and we can sit down and sing Kum-Ba-Ya together in perfect understanding" Ask the residents of Schiedam just how far "tolerance" has to go before that happens.

If you "tolerate" to the point that you no longer have a cohesive, basic agreement on the limits/mores a society will agree on, you no longer have a society.

I find it encouraging that if the ultratolerant Dutch can be starting to "get it", maybe the rest of Europe may too, before it reaches the point of open warfare.

Sitting here, listening to some old Coltrain and trying to find something that strikes me worthy of a post.

Then it hit me, why not just go the stream of conciousness route and put out whatever dribble is on my mind? Maybe it will unblock the dam and rid me of this verdamt writers block that has afflicted me for the last couple of days.

I LOVE Coltrain, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker,and Dave Brubeck when I'm in a mood like this, nothing to do but let the music flow over you, around you, and through you.
Music is truly the balm of the soul, if you pick the right piece to match your mood.

I have very eclectic tastes....one moment I may be listening to Grieg's "Hall of the Mountain King", the next "White Room" by Cream. It's all good to me. Blues one minute, Rock the next and finish up with some really nice piece of Classical.

The only form that I have never found more than one or two things I Like to listen to is Rap. Rap is NOT music. I don't care for much Bluegrass either, but at least it IS music. Rap is Satans way to pervert the minds of it's listeners. Nothing but raw sex, unwarrented violence and pure hate, all done to a basic beat or some clown trying to use a mike as a drum. All music has an energy that affects the listener for good or ill, Rap is only pure negative energy.

Now I have that image in my mind, I need to go floss out my head.
