Me: “So. What do you think about the Administration’s handling of the war in Iraq?”
Kinda swarthy guy with thick black mustache: “Uh, I don’t, actually.”
Me: “For reals? How can you not take at least a passing interest in what’s happening to your own homeland, man? Mesopotamia! The navel of civilization!”
Kinda swarthy guy with thick black mustache: “Dude. I’m from Santa Barbara.”
So is Santa Barbara, like, the lower-left butt-cheek of civilization?
Speaking of kinda swarthy guys with thick mustaches — time for me to go work on my abs and glutes!
Hey, I thought you said you weren’t wired! Ya lyin’ bastid…
I saw a pic on the web inside a Marine base in Iraq where on a wipe board it said “America is not at war. The Marines are at war. American is at the mall.”
I’d have loved to been able to email that soldier that he was wrong but I’m not sure that I honestly could have.
Kinda swarthy guy with thick black mustache: No Habla Ingles …
Great phrases that rallied this nation to war:
“Remember the Alamo!” – Mexican-American War,1846-1848
“Remember the Maine!” – Spanish-American War, 1898
“Remember Pearl Harbor!” – World War Two 1941-1945
“Go Shopping!” – Global War on Terror 2001 – ?
Yeah, ‘cuz remember 9/11 is just too damn jingoistic for the Leftards.
Kinda swarthy guy with thick black mustache: I don’t know much about Bush’s policy, but if I saw Michelle Malkin, I’D SPIT ON HER!
Hey – I’m from Santa Barbara… originally….
I’m sort of pale, though. And my mustache is more blond/brown.
Mesopotamia, man! The navel of civilization!
So, lemme see, that would put the asshole of civilization somewhere around…
Adelaide?
Easy on my home town…
Our mayor goes totally stark raving mad hating on Bush. She worships Rocky Anderson (Mayor SLC) and Cindy Sheehan.
Other than those three things, I’m not sure what she does.
Anyway, this is one of the most liberal cities around.
Except for me of course.
Oprah is havng a huge party for Obama at her Montecito estate, evidently my invitation got lost in the mail (again)
Well, of course. If they let us get reminded about it, we might do something horrific, like win the war.
On December 31, 2009, the press will spend more time on Abu Ghraib, Padilla, and Gitmo than on 9/11.
Is there some reason why my posts get eaten on this site with some regularity? They simply never show up, and then I get informed that it’s a duplicate if I try to post it again.
Looks like it happens when the post has a lot of links in it, but that’s just an impression.
Anyway, here’s the text sans links or other HTML markup. Let’s see if the system lets me post it:
What I meant to say was:
Well, Santa Barbara is the patron saint of bomb technicians, and a common (but false) folk etymology for Barbara/barbarian derives it from the Latin barba (beard).
Crap. I now have the highly disturbing mental image of Khalid Sheikh Muhammad in drag as a nun.
I will now drink heavily to rectify the situation. God bless County Antrim and the village of Bushmills (and I’d say God bless County Cork and the town of Tullamore just as readily, if I could ever find any friggin’ Tullamore Dew on the shelf. Prod whiskey or Papist, it’s all good to me).
It was cooler with the links, though. So it goes.

All I want to know: is Toes Tavern still the place to be on Halloween?
Anywhere down town.
I still have the black eye my wife gave me from last year when naughty nurse and the bad bad librarian walked by. Somehow I managed to arrest my fall into two girls who went as lingerie models…. this year I’ve been banned
Back when I was on the road our booking agent made a horrible mistake and got us a Halloween gig at Toes apparently thinking it was an all-boy Jehovah’s Witness school. One of the best nights of my life. Catwomen and Pocahontas are seared, seared into my memory. Which considering everthing I ingested, smoked and snorted that night is pretty fucking amazing.
I do not understand any of the craziness in the world. I am ashamed of parts of humanity in my generation
