Surprisingly, my oldest boy’s wrestling tournament hasn’t, to my knowledge, been canceled — this, despite all the civil uncertainty and the roaming bands of former TSA workers looking for the weak and isolated to corner in abandoned rope lines and then pat down suggestively — so we’ll be riding about 40 miles north this morning toward Colorado’s eastern plains, armed to the teeth, (in fact, it wasn’t but a half-hour ago that I put the last bit of solder to the turret and backrest I installed in the space that used to house our Jeep Trailhawk’s automatic sunroof), fully appreciative of the possibility that we may be venturing into a trap, where we’ll find ourselves in some sort of Thunderdome-esque human cockfight arena, forced into hand-to-hand combat with other parents and youth wrestlers by a grim Chinese Triad looking to make bank off wagering on what are essentially death matches. The dirty pan-faced cocksuckers.
But then, if there really is still a tournament, my son thinks he can maybe win a first-place trophy, or at least medal in the event. So what am I going to do, stay home? Because of what might happen?
Hells to the no. That’s not what outlaws do. And that’s exactly what I am in Obama’s sequestered America: an outlaw.
So buckle your chinstrap, Greeley, CO. Because we’re on our way. And Hell is following with us.
Best of luck to the young, Master Goldstein. (Kick some ASS, Satch!)
Goldstein the elder? meh….you’re on your own, pal. However, you COULD make yourself useful and retrieve some more entertaining video clips for review here. (….of the civil unrest and rogue TSA types, of course; not little monsters in sweaty singlets.)
My little one has Divisional swim meet today. There is a real dearth of Asian swimmers. She has to have the inside slot of that diversity slot for a scholarship.
Good luck, Satch
Jeff, JD, I remember when my oldest daughter was competing in the high jump during one year in high school. During that time, my work schedule allowed me to attend almost all of her matches.
One of the best summers I’ve ever had.
watch out for roving bands of bald white dudes with, get this, white boards.

I’m going to go to McDonalds in a bit and see if they’re still selling coffee.
This is my new favorite TV show by far.
Breaking Bad can now go suck it!
Colorado’s eastern plains wend towards Kansas where the plucky citizens of Jericho fought so bravely to make a new life after a vaguely chineser-related nuclear holocaust
they had many ethical abu ghraib-like ethical dilemmas about torture plus they ran out of toilet paper
then they got canceled
it’s a fucking metaphor
My great-grandparents weathered Kansas until there was land to grab in Oklahoma.
And the saga continues.
I’d say to Satch “break a leg” but since my intention is worth bupkis and perception is everything, I don’t want to risk being punished for unpleasant language so
Good luck!
Being all fair and balanced and whatnot, FOX asks if the sequester will hurt. Federal government blackmail, that is, here in the very manifestation of Pelosi’s riches-through-funemployment scheme.
Because this is newsworthy, this pandering to the prevailing meme. The prevailing meme generated by the nation’s most dysfunctional political class in the nation’s most dysfunctional era, an era that even John Meynard himself would disown.
Except…turns out the sequester is about a day’s cash.
OH THE HORROR. Watch out for zombies, JG.
Hand-railing the highway to avoid ambushes? Takes some time, don’t it?
Well, they held the tournament, and I’m happy (and proud) to report that Satchel is the winner of the 2013 Eagle Open in Greeley, sweeping his bracket 8-0, 4-2, and 8-1 (championship).
congrats
He’s going to have an impressive awards collection.
You should start looking into building him a trophy case.
Way to go, Satch!
Great job Satch!
Satchel, congratulations!
Proud poppa too!
Just make sure Satch knows to never wrestle outside of competition, or especially in self defense or the defense of others.

The idiocracy is here.
Preemptive surrender as winning?
Well I woke up with a bunch of “crud” in my eyes this morning. So, I can only conclude that whoever it was in the government that was sneaking into my house and keeping my eyes clean while I slept, has been defunded and let go.
Darn you GOP! Because you recalcitrantly refused to work with the Z-man, even though this is HIS plan, I now need to dampen a washcloth and clean my own eyes!
The important work goes on.

Fixed!
