R.I.P Whitney Houston...

If I should stay,
I would only be in your way.
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you ev'ry step of the way.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
You, my darling you. Hmm.

Bittersweet memories
that is all I'm taking with me.
So, goodbye. Please, don't cry.
We both know I'm not what you, you need.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.

(Instrumental solo)

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I, I will always love you.

You, darling, I love you.
Ooh, I'll always, I'll always love you.

Clint Eastwood speaks out on Super Bowl ad

Here is the commercial that has set off a fire storm. If Chrysler is broke and owes the federal government 2 billion dollars why are they cutting 40 million dollar commercials.

LOS ANGELES, Feb 6 (TheWrap.com) - Speaking to Ron Mitchell, a producer at Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor," Eastwood asserted, "I am certainly not politically affiliated with Mr. Obama. It was meant to be a message ... just about job growth and the spirit of America. I think all politicians will agree with it."

Eastwood, who served as mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, in the 1980s, added that he is "not supporting any politician at this time" but noted that, if Obama or any other politician "want to run with the spirit of that ad, go for it."

In the ad -- dubbed "Halftime in America" -- Eastwood extols the resiliency of the American spirit -- as exemplified by the auto industry's efforts to bounce back from its financial woes.

Osombie

This looks like it could be a gruesome movie. A movie about a Osama Bin Laden Zombie. I wonder if this one will go straight to DVD video.

US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

As an American this is down right disgusting to me, this is why I hold socialist with such disdain. Maybe Ruth Badger Ginsburg should go live in the country that she is lauding. This is the face of a tyrant, a blame a American first liberal that hates the American Constitution.This is a good reason to vote Barack Obama out of office before he stuffs the court with more like minded judges like her.

Jason Meyers to retire from racing

The two time World of Outlaws series champion is going to retire from the WoO circuit after 14 races. Here is the official press release from his web page.

by Jason Meyers
FEBRUARY 3, 2012


In January of 2004 with the help of Guy Stockbridge and eventually Chris Luck in 2006, I set out to build a World of Outlaw sprint car team capable of winning the World of Outlaws Championship. Over the past eight years, seven seasons of Outlaw competition, the team we created through hard work and sleepless nights has finished in the top-five seven times with three runner up finishes and recently two championships in succession.

Along the way, we had the opportunity to work with some of the finest individuals in motorsports and have made friends for life that we will cherish forever. Many of these folks worked daily within Elite Racing and many were sponsors and supporters that made our dreams reachable through their belief in our marketing and performance capabilities.

This offseason has been like all the rest, filled with obstacles and challenges that force you to analyze your current position and also your short and long term goals. As many of you may know, my wife and I started a family on the road almost five years ago and we have been blessed with two beautiful little girls who not only love their mom and dad, but they love the races. When we decided to have a family, we promised ourselves that when it was time for our children to start school the road would no longer be our home. In just eight short months, our oldest will be starting school and life as we know it will once again change.

Events that occurred over the winter months have given me the opportunity to take a good hard look at where we are in life and where we want to be. In this process, I have learned that it is time for me to be at home and although sprint car racing has given me so much, it can never give me what attending my daughter’s sporting events and taking them camping will. It is for this reason that I have decided to depart from my professional career on the road and embark on a new challenge as Dad and Husband. It is time for me to build a career outside of racing that will allow me to fulfill my commitments to my children and wife both financially and in person.

It is my passion for this sport, our team, our sponsors, and the fans that has made this decision very difficult and at times unimaginable. However when I imagine my daughter winning her first game and not being there to tell her good job, I see the reality of what life is all about. The sport of sprint car racing is a wonderful thing and has taken my family all over the world. I look forward to continuing my involvement when time allows whether I am driving, tuning, coaching, or whatever I can do to give back to the sport that has given so much to me. Companies often restructure in order to make it to the next level and that is exactly what I am doing, restructuring my priorities so that we as a family can reach the next level.

I cannot say thank you enough to all of those that have been a part of Elite Racing, my teammates, our owners, our sponsors, our fans, and the World of Outlaws. It has been a great adventure and I look forward to putting on a helmet in three months, six months, or even a year, and participating in a sprint car event somewhere in the world just for fun! Because at the end of the day, that is what sprint car racing is and that is why we all love it!

With that being said, we still have business left to do. To show our appreciation to our sponsors and fans we will be running the “Allstar Appreciation Tour,” presented by Allstar Performance. We will be racing the first 14 races of the 2012 World of Outlaw season beginning in Volusia County on February 15th and ending at the famed half-mile in Napa Valley Calistoga Speedway.

Patch Barracks Germany

I found this video on facebook and it's a home made video of the first military base I was stationed at while I was in the U.S. Army after I left Basic Training. It's Patch Barracks and it's in Stuttgart Vaihingen, Germany

Justice Ginsburg - WTF?

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a disgrace and I find her comments to be disgusting and troublesome. I know it’s impossible to have her impeached and removed from the United States Supreme Court but this is a travesty. Ginsburg’s job is to defend “our” constitution. This is the reason that elections have consequences so you don’t end up with out of touch morons on the Supreme Court.

Dave Bohon, New American ---- But then, shockingly, America’s judicial representative counseled the Egyptian people that “I would not look to the U.S. Constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012.” Dismissing the document that has ensured the God-given “blessings of liberty” of the American people for over 200 years, Ginsburg instead pointed to countries whose people look to government — rather than the Almighty — as the creator of their rights.

“I might look at the constitution of South Africa,” Ginsburg suggested, referring to the once proud and self-sufficient nation that has teetered on the edge of anarchy for the past 20 years. “It really is, I think, a great piece of work that was done,” she said, ignoring the nearly one million South Africans who have fled the country since the implementation of “democracy.”

She also suggested such UN-modeled documents as the 1982 Charter of Rights and Freedoms implemented by Canada — a country that has been slipping further into the mire of socialist “democracy” for decades — along with the Convention on Human Rights of the European Union (EU), a “democratic” coalition that will survive its present slow-motion disintegration only through a combination of bureaucratic manipulation and sheer force.

Barack Obama - Bumbler in Chief

We have been told that President Barack Obama is a genius, one of the smartest presidents of our times. Some have tried to convinced us that he is a great intellectual mind. I think Obama and his gas bag Vice President Joe Biden are a bunch of bumbling buffoons.

ND wintering ground for Water Fowl?

Here is an interesting blog post that I found by Doug Leier of the North Dakota game and Fish, sounds like the warm winter means that a lot of waterfowl won't have to travel to far to go back to their summer homes when the spring migration starts in March or April...

Doug Leier, North Dakota Outdoors and beyond --- The North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s annual midwinter waterfowl survey in early January showed 279,000 birds, a record high for the number of ducks and geese wintering in the state.

Mike Szymanski, migratory game bird biologist, said an estimated 90,000 Canada geese were observed on the Missouri River, and another 70,500 were scattered on Lake Sakakawea, which was completely open east of the Van Hook Arm. After summarizing the numbers, a record 190,000 geese were tallied statewide.

“This year’s survey was highly abnormal, and numbers of waterfowl within the state were probably underestimated because of the open water and lack of snow statewide,” Szymanski said. “The lack of snow cover was especially important in keeping these birds around.”

A mild, dry fall with record-setting warm temperatures kept the birds here longer than usual, Szymanski said, with snow geese remaining in the southern half of the state until early December

Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry's mother lashes out at AG Holder

h/t to the National Border Patrol Council for the video. This is an American travesty it makes my blood boil every time that I see this story on the news.

The part that upsets me is how smug Holder acts when he is questioned about the matter, he doesn’t seem to care at all about the murder Border Patrol Agent, instead he tries to deflect blame and claim that Republicans are playing politics with this issue.

Holder needs to get it through his thick skull, a Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, who was the best of the best, was murder because of the federal government’s incompetence and you trying to cover it up.

Obama redux?

Watch the video, it looks like President Obama has given the same speech every year of his failed presidency. I like many Americans hope this is the last time we will hear Obama's state of the union speech. Our country can not afford another four years of this guy. If you want big powerful over reaching federal government, excessive regulation and extremely, high taxes this is your guy.

"THE FINAL INSPECTION"

The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, you soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"

The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.

But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."

There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, you soldier,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
