Some notes before I forget

Riddle me this: What used to be green and covered with question marks, but now is dead?
Yup, Frank Gorshin, far more talented than merely playing the Riddler, passed away on May 18 or so.

OTOH, May 22, 1841, the first patent for the recliner was issued. Thank you CBS Sunday Morning.

What was my rising sign?

My Rising Sign is Scorpio.
I'm so intense and passionate - I'm on fire!
I want to be an angel or a devil... I can't decide which.
No wonder I seem moody and even a little dangerous.
I've got some major mystery going on, so I need to work it!
My personality is the strongest of all signs, making me hard to deal with.
While I'm ruthless to my enemies, I am loyal to my one true love.

Another "Tin Hat" post....

Well, it's aluminum foil and not "tin" but you get my drift. Last week, all the news was about some "idiot" that flew his small plane a little too close to the capitol building. This caused a major evacuation of personnel, scrambling some jets, and escorting the small plane to a landing strip where the pilot was pulled aside and spoken to harshly, I assume.
The next thing we're all treated to is a plea for more Homeland security "stuff". Money, power to act when and wherever needed without external mandate, blah, blah, blah. It was an "obvious sign that we are not doing enough to protect the Homeland".

BULLSHIT

1. In my humble opinion we've already given up too much to the facsist-wannabe's running the Dept of Homeland Security. I've been through airports in Europe, and in the US and getting on a plane in Europe is more hassle-free than in the US...and Europe started all the airport security long before we did.
2. Why wasn't the small plane in restricted airspace reduced to a smoking pile of rubble?
3. Why wasn't the pilot arrested and sent straight to jail? No passing Go, no collecting 200 dollars? Yes, the pilot of the small plane was released without charges at all. For flying through known restricted airspace.
4. The "tin hat" twist to the story: Do you think it's possible that the spin doctors in the Government have decided that Americans are forgetting about the need for Homeland "security" so they cook up some plot to re-raise awareness. Say, for example, get an under-cover FBI agent to "accidentally" fly too close to the White House in a small plane?
I really wish, deep down, I didn't think our government would be capable of that type of behavior. Unfortunately I do think they are capable of this, and much more. And it has nothing to do with the TV shows I may, or may not, have watched in the past.

Proud to call North Carolina Home....

Long-time Goat Rapist finally caught Mmm hmmmm....just makes me so proud!

In case you're wondering, we don't really go for that shit here at the Ranch. We prefer to alter our conciousness a bit and watch the little animals run around. "Take a trip and never leave the farm". Thank you Jim Stafford.

Heh, truth be told, there is no longer any need to actively alter our conciousness by external means. Apparently there is a reservior of some sort back in the little used areas of my brain. I can switch to the "other" conciousness at any time. This becomes especially handy during those long unecessary meetings I am forced to attend from time to time.
