Indiana Dems have fled the state to do hookers and lines of coke with the Wisconsin Dems.
You're totally making that up.
Not totally.
They have fled the state to keep Republicans there from passing any anti-union laws (and it's always possible that they're doing hookers and coke). They say they aren't coming back until the current bills are taken off the table. They're gonna hang in Illinois for as long as it takes.
Who knew Illinois was the place to hide?
Right?
Anyway, it's going to be an interesting year in politics, it appears. Unfortunately, I don't have time to really go into it today.
So, I'll leave you with this bit of wisdom from one of the articles on Indiana union fun:
"With so much unemployment, this is not the time to take away worker protections," said Atherton-Childress, whose husband Norm Childress is a retired union carpenter.
Poor Carina (whose husband is Norm Childress). The author of the article, Mary Wisniewski, must feel bad for Carina too because this is where the article ends. The quote from Carina is the final thought. Ms. Wisniewski must not have had the heart to tell Carina that unions eat their young.
I've heard that.
It's getting around.
If poor Carina ever gets an Internet connection, she'll learn that where the unions have fought and won, governments have laid off workers, sometimes nearly 50% of some departments. Right now, you can have one or the other, protection of state worker entitlements or employment. You aren't going to get both, Carina dear.
Is that a wand in your hand or are you just happy to see my breasts?
So,
I haven't mentioned my dear, dear friends at TSA in a while and probably wouldn't have in a long, long time but they have made a bunch of headlines in the last couple of days. They must want the attention and I'm always happy to help bring attention to the TSA.
Cuz you're tight?
Well, they have seen my junk.
That's pretty tight.
Right?
An Alaska lawmaker gets felt up every time she flies because she only has one boob. I suppose the TSA has to check to make sure that the prosthetic breast she wears to balance things out isn't a bomb.
Does it have more than 3 ounces of liquid?
Maybe she needs to carry the fake boob in a plastic bag?
This last time the TSA tried to give her a sensual massage with a happy ending, she said no and spent two days on a ferry getting home. There is a huge problem with Alaska.
It's where Sarah Palin comes from.
Okay, there are two huge problems with Alaska.
You don't travel to or from Alaska without flying. Alaska lawmakers said the TSA is out of control but didn't come up with any answers for dealing with DHS date rape. They passed a non-binding resolution officially bitching about the TSA, which is a bold move.
A restaurant near the Sea-Tac airport has come up with an answer. They no longer allow TSA employees in the restaurant. They won't serve TSA workers and tell them to leave and have even called the police to have TSA employees removed. This is, of course, the wrong approach.
Sounds cool to me.
Listen to my idea first.
They should allow TSA workers to eat at the restaurant, after they have been completely felt up and allowed a picture of themselves to be taken in their underwear.
Okay, I like your idea better.
Toldja!
A Charlotte teen-ager was able to get out onto the tarmac of the airport and climb into the wheel-well of an airplane and fly to Boston. This has some people wondering what the hell the TSA is doing when it comes to providing security.
They were all gathered 'round the monitor looking at nekkid people.
Probably.
Unfortunately for the teen, he pulled a move from a Nicolas Cage movie and fell from the sky when the plane put its gear down to land in Boston. The family would like the TSA to explain how something like this happens. The TSA is meeting today at 2:30 to try to figure out what kind of bullshit story it can come up with to explain how a teen-ager can get through security designed to stop highly trained terrorist cells from blowing up planes with prosthetic boobs.
Meanwhile, an undercover chick with nice milk cartons was able to get a firearm past the TSA several times at the Dallas/Fort Worth airport.
Can't they shorten that down like Sea-Tac?
To what? Da-Rth?
You can't get a fake boob through TSA security but if you're a chick with two boobs, you can take a Desert Eagle 50 Cal. tucked in your G-string and be just fine. Okay, I don't know what kind of gun it was but it was hidden in her underwear. Now call me a cynic but . . .
I have better things to call you.
Shut it!
. . . It seems like a great story to leak out to try to convince people to allow the TSA to take pictures of their private parts.
Like they weren't taking the pictures already.
I know, I know.
At JFK, a TSA employee screener threatened to bash in some dude's head with a baseball bat.
For not allowing a hand job?
You're not helpful.
A Texas Airlines employee was backing up in the parking lot and nicked the TSA employee's car. This is apparently enough to make assault with a baseball bat a reasonable and necessary use of force. Of course, when you're part of the Department of Homeland Security, there is probably a tad bit of Judge Dreadd running through your veins.
Loved Rob Schneider in that movie.
You are the Rob Schneider of this blog.
Also at JFK, three TSA employees in two separate cases have been arrested for stealing money from passengers' luggage. One dude stole tens of thousands of dollars in one go.
Like that wouldn't be missed.
Ya think.
The other two have been siphoning money off for years. Cops have been able to come up with about 40 grand of stolen money and suspect that over the years, the two have broken six figures.
Remind me not to go to JFK.
Shah.
Even if you do catch the guy stealing your money, he'll probably try to bash your brains in with a Louisville Slugger.
"Aviation Security Expert Justin Green thinks incidents like these raise questions about the integrity of the airport security system."
Really Aviation Security EXPERT Green? This is what raises the questions? None of the headlines above this raises any questions? Nothing mentioned in my previous blog post (Warning:It was written when I was way more serious) kind of, sort of, in some little way, sets off some kind of red flag in your expert brain?
Stealing a few hundred bucks a day is the trick? Feeling up the elderly, strip searching children, teen-agers falling from the sky, downloading naked pictures of passengers, easily getting a gun through check points, and threatening to kill people with baseball bats are all perfectly acceptable behavior for TSA agents that don't raise any concerns about their integrity?
They probably didn't give Expert Green his cut.
That explains it.
All of these headlines are from the last two days and you know that only a small percentage of the criminals at the TSA get caught and only a few of those make the headlines. Can you even imagine what TSA employees are out there doing every single day?
Expert Green can't.
Maybe he's an expert at wearing blinders.
Or covering up the wrong doings.
Or a complete smacktard.
But, if you're ever lonely on a Friday night and can't get a date from eHarmony, you could always get a boarding pass and walk through the security check point a few times. Don't count on dinner though.
I was walking through a house the other day and Bill O'Reilly's show came on. Apparently, it's called the "No Spin Zone" or it has a segment by that title or something. I didn't stay to watch any of it, or even long enough to figure out what this so called No Spin Zone was, but my guess is that it's about 180 degrees from being a "No Spin Zone." Kind of like Faux News being fair and balanced or Wisconsin Democrats being brave while Governor Walker has to have extra guards around him now 24/7 because he's the one in danger.
"Someone please shoot him?!"
This is one of the many threats directed at Walker on Twitter. His staff won't comment on direct threats to the governor but Walker is considering calling in the National Guard.
"All political systems are built on contradictions that eventually lead to their downfall. The U.S. relies on a whopping chasm between soaring rhetoric (freedom, democracy, individual rights) and brutish reality (preemptive war, supporting dictators, torture, spying on citizens)—a gap that is so wide and so glaring that it is amazing anyone ever takes the propaganda seriously." --Ted Rall
That's what I think too but then I'd be out of a job as a blogger if I didn't get to go around pointing out the glaring propaganda.
Your "job" as a blogger?
You know what I mean.
You'd get paid better if you were part of the Blogger's Union.
Boo?
I think that some of the spin comes out on accident but maybe I'm being far too kind.
You? Kind?
Shhh.
Hundreds of protesters choked the state Capitol's halls on Tuesday chanting, "It's about rights, it's not about money."
I thought it was about the kids.
Well, it was last week.
Anyway, the quote is innocent enough since it's reporting what the teachers were chanting but the next sentence gives credence that all this protesting, that was for the kids, is now about "rights".
The proposal would strip most collective bargaining rights from many state workers.
And those "rights" are used for what?
Getting money?
We have a winner!
I read a blog last week where the author thought that Walker was being too soft because he wasn't going after rights entitlements for cops and firefighters too. If you're going to do Union reform, shouldn't you do the whole system?
Not if the teachers are going to attack you or try to burn your house down.
Right you are, Ken!
Yeah, this is not the time to piss off the people with the guns and fire hoses. The state schools superintendent in Idaho made teachers mad earlier this week. He had his tires slashed, his car spray-painted, and someone went to his mom's house to harass her.
Harassed his mom? Who does that?
School teachers.
A "Your son has been misbehaving" speech?
I guess.
With the number of protesters in Wisconsin and the message those protesters are getting, Walker can't afford to make enemies of the people protecting him and his family.
But a lot of the spin is done intentionally.
Good thing Democrats are against violence in their rhetoric and will, of course, be encouraging only peaceful protesting. Oh, wait . . .
Outside of Wisconsin, one lawmaker dialed it down a notch after he was quoted telling union workers in Boston that "every once in a while" they need to "get a little bloody."
Rep. Michael Capuano, D-Mass., said he regretted using the language.
It didn't take long for that bit of hypocrisy to stand up and shout "Look at me! Look at me!"
Oh snap!
180 degrees.
Wisconsin is just like Egypt.
On "opposite day".
Right?
Egyptians, who were being oppressed and starved, rose up to fight for a bit of humanity. Unfortunately, they will probably create another government that will oppress and starve them but that's a different story.
In Wisconsin and across the entire country, school teachers are fighting to raise taxes so they can continue to receive entitlements that the rest of the people in the country don't get. If you wanted to compare Wisconsin to Egypt, minus the 180 degree spin, you would have to put the teachers on Team Mubarak. They are part of the government using the threat of violence to force the rest of the people in the state to give them money.
Taylor, one of the 14 Democrats who left the capital, also compared the struggle in Egypt to the struggle in Madison during an interview with Fox News on Monday.
Politicians, union reps, and media sources that plant this utterly false idea in teacher's heads that they are the equivalent of oppressed Egyptians are encouraging the use of violence. Of course, it won't be politicians, union reps, or reporters that end up in the hospital or morgue so they have nothing to lose. If things go well for them (and terrible for everyone else involved), politicians will get to use the incident for the next election and reporters will have plenty to write about.
If it bleeds, it leads.
Even if it has to be nudged a little.
And, if that isn't bad enough, if the manipulators succeed in creating the violence they want, it's very likely that it will only be the beginning.
But, that too, is a story for another day.

The foster dog went in for surgery today. She had a couple of lumps that were getting to be rather large and while the vet wasn't concerned about cancer, she said that they would continue to grow until they caused discomfort and pain.
The lumps are gone and the foster dog is kickin' it on her bed. She is going to be sad for a couple of days because she has to stay in the kitchen. She has drainage tubes hanging out of her and bloody stuff is going to drain from the wounds for a few days. It's going to be hard on her because she's co-dependant.
Hopefully the drugs help her stay relaxed for the next couple of days.
Or you could take the drugs so you're relaxed about her whining.
How low do you have to go to steal pain meds from a dog?
The vet said the stuff that she took out of the dog looked like fatty tissue with no signs of tumors. Good news and now she just needs to get patched up enough to take the tubes out of her body.
I didn't do the exercise video this morning because my wife is usually my camera person and she doesn't do mornings. The push-ups were good though, so when I heal up, I'll have to make that video.
Heal up? Don't be a pussy.
Why I otta . . .
Speaking of videos, yes, I know, I haven't made any martial arts videos in a while. I'm aware of it and with any luck, I will fix that tomorrow.
Need to heal up first? <smirk>
Shut it!
Okay, one news quote for today and then I'm on to other projects.
Obama said in January that he is still wrestling with whether gay couples should have the right to marry.
The more appropriate question is: Should arrogant and violent people be allowed to have a position in society where they can refuse to let people marry each other?
Rat bastards!
You're too kind.
At some point, people are going to get tired of letting these psychopaths decide what the rest of the world can and cannot do.
The sooner the better.
Amen.
"He said his feelings on the issue continue to evolve but he still believes in allowing strong civil unions."
How 'bout this plan? Let gay people marry each and let Barry and Michelle have a strong civil union.
Seems fair.
Doesn't it though?
Now to be fair, The Great and Powerful Ozhas taken some steps forward despite his homophobiaattempt not to alienate Christian votersclear disdain for equality inability to keep his mouth shut while taking small positive actions.
Or any other time really.
Yeah, that's true.
Baby steps are better than nothing but it would sure be nice if everyone had the same rights.
Guess which part of your body gets worked the most when you do four different kinds of lunges?
Ooh, ooh. I know.
Me too.
Today was cardio-punching but unfortunately there are a couple of moves that involve knee strikes. My booty wanted none of that action.
That doesn't sound right.
It wasn't.
It was painful. The stretching was painful. Before the stretching was painful. I almost went out to exercise barefoot because I couldn't bend over far enough to put my socks on. I managed to get there but it had crossed my mind to skip it. Had it been a little warmer, I would have done it. The cold factor made me just keep trying despite the tears streaming down my cheeks.
Dude!
I know!
After moving around all day, my booty feels better (don't take my word for it, feel it) than it did this morning. I don't know if I'm up for doing a whole lotta kicking in karate tonight.
Tomorrow, I have a fun new push-up to try that I've never done before. I may have to make a video of it. I should make the video first because it's too hard to make the videos after I've done the workouts. Last time I tried to do that with the box sit-ups, the video just about killed me.
The weirdest part of it all is that you would think that, at some point, I would just get used to all of this. The DOMS following each workout feels like I've never exercised before and my body is completely shocked.
"What did you do to me?"
Talk about muscle confusion.
A little trick that I learned from P90X and have taken to new levels.
My booty can attest to the effectiveness of the strategy.

This morning, like most Monday mornings for me, was all about legs. Not just legs but lunges. It was all about lunges. That's all I did. 4 different types of lunges in Tabata intervals.
I had to do drop-sets because my legs were jelly after the second set of intervals.
I started with 50 pounds, then 40 pounds, then 30 pounds, and finished off with 24 pounds.
I actually probably could have finished that last set of with 30 pounds and lots and lots of grunting and growling.
Maybe next time.
Tomorrow, it will probably hurt to be alive but it was a good workout. Anyone wanting to give it a try, I highly recommend it. Drill Sergeant did it with bodyweight only and was feeling the love. You could always go that route.
We did:
Regular Lunges
Side Lunges
Rear Lunges
45 Degree Lunges
We hit those muscle from every angle just to let them know that we cared.
And may I say that I absolutely love my Gymboss Timer? This thing has just been great. It keeps time for me when there is no more blood flowing to my brain. I just have to listen for the beeps and keep my muscles moving. Sounds simple but it's not always. There are times, especially when working legs, that it just sucks all of the energy out of my entire body.
That's what I had for breakfast. What about you?
