Scum: A Little Good News

I’d love to tell you that all of the scum living within a 20 minute walk of our neighborhood are gone.

Sadly, I can’t do that.

What I can tell you is that the freak living down at the corner who had “a thing” for sex offenders has been evicted and the new family in that home takes good care of it and is fitting in well so far. More good news is that no more have moved into our zip code as of this afternoon according to the sex offnder registry. That isn’t much, but in the fight against scum I’ll take all I can get!

USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) Christened.

Late again… My apologies to George Bush the Greater and to all of my Dear Readers for “missing the boat” as it were… ~Bull.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Spraying the bubbles from sparkling wine across the enormous gray bow of the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77), the Bush family on Saturday christened the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier named after the 82-year-old former president.

“I know you join me in saying to our father, President Bush, your ship has come in,” the current president said during a ceremony for the last of the Nimitz-class carriers, the CVN 77.

“She is unrelenting, she is unshakable, she is unyielding, she is unstoppable,” Bush said, lauding the warship’s state-of-the-art design before pausing for a punch line aimed at his mother’s well-known steely constitution. “As a matter of fact, probably should have been named the Barbara Bush.”

The elder Bush, a decorated Navy pilot in World War II, joined the armed forces on his 18th birthday, June 12, 1942. “After our nation was attacked at Pearl Harbor, you simply couldn’t find anyone who wasn’t anxious to sign up,” he told the audience as a heavy rain fell.

“The point is that our nation was totally united against the insidious totalitarian threat against freedom,” he said. He added, “In my humble view, we were no greater than the kids that serve today.”

The current president said that in the 21st century, “freedom is again under attack and young Americans are volunteering to answer the call.”

Breaking News: 10 Oct. 2006 1115 Central Time

As many as seven people are trapped in a tunnel under the US/Mexico border south of San Diego, CA. This tunnel is reported to be one of many used to smuggle illegals and drugs into the United States.

The Bull says: “Quick! Fill it in!”

John Lehman on the US Navy, and more.

I was reading through the various stories tonight and ran across a post on NewsMax about statements from John Lehman, Secretary of the Navy in the Reagan administration. I must admit that I am on board with nearly all of his statements concerning the state of the US Navy, its future, and hs other points. For example:

“Weâ€™re building only five ships a year,â€?? he declared in an interview with the New York Sun. “Weâ€™re on the way to a 150-ship Navy. That is not enough to cover our security requirements.â€?? The ultimate threat is China, which is “now building their 600-ship Navy, to fill the vacuum,â€?? he said. “And theyâ€™re very good ships.â€??

This is made all the worse by the fact that we have, by some silliness, allowed ourselves to be stripped of forward bases elsewhere in the world. In the event of crisis it is up to the Navy to rapidly deploy vast amounts of cargo and men to the troubled area. (Yes, I know you flyboys like to think that you can move the World in your planes, but it just ain’t true. You can’t move it all, but what you can move you move damned fast, I’ll give you that.)

Lehman also points out what in The Bull’s mind is a major fly in the ointment. Russia has been selling off her submarines for years. The Chinese took those designs and have upgraded them, made them even quieter, and have built more and/or sold improved models. The Iranians are the proud owners of many of these very capable subs. Should things ‘go hot’ in the Gulf, not much that floats will be safe. Well, not until our boats go slinking in there at least! Those electric boats are damned sneaky though.

The Navy has also been dedicated of late to litoral combat ships, those that operate close in to shore, rather than the typical ‘blue water’ ships and subs we’ve all come to know and love. ‘Tis a good plan to have combat ships and subs that can operate in th shallows, but let us not be fooled! The Nation that rules the World’s oceans will have the upper hand! The British held that distinction for ages. We have held it since. Should we fail in our vigilence, it will be the Communist Chinese that will fill that role. The Bull does not like the sound of that!

A major problem is and has been the bureaucracy weighing down anything that moves into or out of Washington, DC. I quote Lehman again:

Defense costs are skyrocketing out of sight. “Itâ€™s being managed by a bureaucracy, not by accountable people. When I was in office my last budget was $11 billion and we built 28 ships; last yearâ€™s budget was about $11 billion and they built five ships. Thatâ€™s not inflation, thatâ€™s unilateral disarmament.â€??

“Unilateral Disarmament”. Yes, that sounds about right. Something has to be done about it as soon as possible – if not sooner! Just imagine the shyte we’ll be in if someone like Hillary enters the White House! Geez, she’d have us scuttle the entire Navy! It is time for a change in Washington. That’s why we have term limits for the White House, (and should for every elected office!). Liberal is not the way to go! That, my Dear Readers, is guaranteed “Unilateral Disarmament”.

Where did I not agree with Mr. Lehman? On this:

Americaâ€™s intelligence community has “become bloated and bureaucratized . . . Itâ€™s time for reform.â€??

No, sir. Americaâ€™s intelligence community has been gutted, stripped of its ‘Human Intelligence’ arm, and then bureaucratized beyond recognition. There can be no reliable intelligence without boots on the ground. Real people in real situations. Technology alone has been proven a failure thanks to Clinton. Spies must take risk. Some will die. That is the game they play. Reform under the withering gaze of the media damned sure isn’t going to fix it, either. What we need is for the “Secrecy Guys” to once again be secret! For the love of Pete, put a plug in this constant leak of info to the bloody media! Then the spies can do their jobs.

John Lehman also says that he admires Sen. John McCain and said he will be working for McCain’s presidential campaign. The Bull is reserving judgement on the 2008 Presidential race, but McCain does look strong. Question is: will he be strong enough?

Bull, out.

World’s Worst Nightmare?

At last, the World’s Worst Nightmare appears to have come true. (We await confirmation by the Japanese Defense Forces.) A certifiable madman has been proven to own nuclear weapons. This same madman has been proven to be developing long range missiles to carry those nuclear weapons as far as Kansas City(s) and Chicago. North Korea also has a history of arms sales to other rogue nations and terrorist groups world-wide.

For decades American men plumbed the depths of the planets oceans armed to the teeth with such nuclear weapons. Weapons with gastly potential for global distruction. Even today there are a few boats out there with limited numbers those same weapons, but no where near the fleet of nuclear powered, nuclear armed ballistic missile submarines of those (thankfully) bygone days – the 41 for Freedom. Yes, forty-one boats with two crews per boat to insure the vessal was always at sea, hidden in the depths, ready to send hellish doom against those that would attack America.

Then came the fall of the Evil Empire and the Wall crumbled. Freedom had a chance to blossom, and so it did. Sadly, we failed ourselves and the Free World at that time. We began to disarm ourselves and reduce the number of nuclear weapons in our arsenals. What need could we possibly have for such things anymore?

September 11, 2001. The rise of terrorism began as soon as America was seen as becoming more interested in being ‘politically correct’ than in defending herself, and it culminated in the worst ever massacre of United States citizens in history. Now we have a rogue state, led by what even his nearest allies call a ‘madman’, with nuclear weapons. What do you suppose will be the long term results?

This didn’t happen over night. This is something that has taken years to come to fruition. What has been the response of the United States? To talk about ‘economic sanctions’. What has been the respnce of the World? To back off the ‘Emergency’ U.N. session planned for this morning because they don’t want to hurt anyones feelings. And what of the Chinese? Well, to date they have done nothing, said nothing for fear of North Korea’s government collapsing and sending starving refugees across borders by the tens of thousands.

Let The Bull be clear: Our American Government (both Congress (Dems and Repubs) and the President), the United Nations as a whole, the Brits, Aussies, Japs, South Koreans, especially the Russians and the Chinese have failed themselves, their citizens, and each other. They have all lost their way and none appear to have any Honor left what-so-ever.

The Bull calls upon the Nations of the World to bring down Kim Jung Il within the remainder of this month of October, 2006. No talk, all action! If it should take giving Kim Jung Il a taste of what nuclear weapons are really capable of doing in the process, so be it!

One pissed and scared Bull, out.

Why I Gladly Gave a Divorce to My 1st Wife.

If anyone needs any confirmation as to why I gladly gave my first wife, Cindy, a divorce after 15 years of marriage, here’s a clue for you…

Late last night the phone rang. I answered it. It was the ex-wife, Cindy, wanting to talk to my eldest daughter. The daughter refused, so we hung up. Then said daughter filled me in on her reasons…

She had no idea of this until she checked her bank account online and noticed that not only had her last deposit not gone through, but that she was mysteriously overdrawn some $250. When she looked at her cancelled checks online she noted a pair of checks, her new checks, written to companies in Pickens,SC and signed with her name, but in her mother’s handwriting! Seems that when she ordered her checks a few days ago, Wachovia Bank screwed the pooch and sent them to her old address at her mother’s house in Pickens.

That’s right, the child’s own mother was forging her checks! This is classic Cindy. Classic! The woman has, since our divorce, been jailed at least twice for a day or two at a time for check forging. The only reason she never served time while we were married was that I was there to bail her out of her messes. Now all Cindy has is her aging mother to bail her out.

Would you, Dear Reader, believe that when Cindy called back to try to get our daughter on the phone and was confronted by me about her actions that she actually threatened to have me charged for failure to pay child support if I didn’t talk our 20 year old daughter out of filing charges against her? No, she has no basis for these charges. I’ve been declared legally disabled back to the very last day I worked, and my children get Social Security Disability payments just like I do -and- they got all the ‘back-time’ as well. That’s how Cindy, (and her mother), work. If caught doing something wrong, or illegal, blame The Bull. He is comfortably several hundred miles away.

Someone please explain to me how it is my fault Cindy forged her daughters checks? How is it my fault that said daughter is tired of her mother’s horse shyte and is not willing to let it slide? Oh, I’ll admit I’m proud that my eldest has grown a backbone and is trying to protect her finacial future. However, at the age of 20, Eldest is an adult and does not need “Daddy” to make decisions for her. At least in my opinion.

How low is a woman that, (while working full time, getting a SSD check from my account each month, getting Gov’t assistance, and nearly free rent), steals her daughter’s checks to pay for her spending sprees? Her daughter who is working her own way through college, no less! How low can Cindy go?

Eldest has talked with Wachovia Bank. The overdraft charges have been reversed, her account has been closed and a new one opened, The bank’s Fraud Department has been notified as well. She has gone now up to the local Police Dept. to file charges here in Mobile, AL which will be forwarded to Pickens, SC. Eldest Daughter is not going to be out even so much as a dime, but it will take a couple of days to get everything back in order. Cindy, however, is facing her umpteenth fraudulent check charge and there is no one to pay to make it go away. Moreover, this may be even more serious since it involves interstate banking. I’m not sure how that works exactly.

Well folks, there you have a very small sample of what I went through for years on end. No matter how I increased my income, Cindy could find a way to piss it away. h, there is more. Much more. That is a taste for the moment, just for you.

Chew on it a while and leave your ‘Moos’…

Update: Folks, you’re gonna looove this! Cindy’s mom, Clancy’s own, much-loved grandmother, has disowned Clancy for taking a stand for what is Right and not allowing her mother to steal from her. How’s that for stupidity? After telling anyone that would listen that she would no longer tolerate Cindy’s thieving ways nor bail her out of trouble anymore, she sides once more with her daughter. This time against her own Granddaughter who was the victim in this entire sorted affair!

Bah! A pox upon her and her daughter, Cindy! This child of mine needs them not.

Bull, out!

More Weirdness from Phred Felps

I suppose you’ve already heard that that twisted fool, the Rev. Phred Felps, (his name deliberately mis-spelled to keep from giving the fool any more hits in the search engines than he gets already), is sending his demonic spawn to Pennsylvania to protest at the funerals of those Amish girls killed by that disgusting monster a couple of days ago.

Does anyone understand these brainless, soulless, morons? I know I don’t!

The Bull personally went to their website and requested an interview face-to-face. They say they will turn over to the FBI anyone making threats, so no threats. Here is what I wrote:

I would like to invite any of the members of your “church” to come to Mobile, AL and be “interviewed” by me.

I think my readers would like to hear what you would say in response to my questions. I’m sure Americans everywhere would like to see what’s going on inside your heads. I know I would.

Sincerely,
Bull Jones

The Bull Speaks!
Mobile, AL

See, no threats!

The result was that their site would in NO WAY accept my request. I just kept getting an auto response that my email was not valid – so I tried five (5) different email addresses that I know work. Nada. Another message was that I had not entered a subject. What? Do they think that I, like them, am totally uneducated?

Oh, how I wish they would accept my plea and come to Mobile, AL and, em, “speak” with me! I do have a few choice words for those fools. Not to mention a few other choice things I feel would help them see the light – or at least stars!

People of Pennsylvania: Just like you can not walk into a building and scream “Fire!” or walk on board a plane and say “Bomb!”, these monsters should not be allowed to come into your fine State and make a mockery of the deaths of those innocent Amish children! The Bull begs you, the good People of Pennsylvania, to rise up and stop this freak with his minions at your border. Take any and all action necessary to stop them from further dishonoring the Amish, your State, and our Nation. Remember, this is America where The People rule. If your elected officials will not stop them, it is up to you to do so! Stand up and stop a monster in his tracks!

You know, if I were a Christian I would be so ashamed of the “Waste”boro Baptist Church that I would see it burned to the ground, its leader destroyed and its people scattered – or die trying.

Makes me glad, for once, to be a Pagan.

Bull, out.

UPDATE: The silence from the no-show Phred Felps Congregation of Weirdness has been deafening! I think that they got the point that they were not wanted in Pennsylvania and that it would be ‘unhealthy’ for them to make such a display. Excellent.

I’m sickened.

Of all the religious groups I’ve met in this life, the Amish are the most completely inoffensive. To see some madman take advantage of then the way Charles Carl Roberts IV did yesterday deeply sickens me.

As expected, the gun control nuts are all over this sad event. Though, in a moment of sanity, the Governor of Pennsylvania (a huge gun control advocate) stated that in a case such as this NO GUN CONTROL LAW IN EXISTANCE OR PROPOSED could have stopped a madman bent on such an action and who planned on dyiing anyway.

America, pray for those families affected. Pray also for your continued Freedom.

A Rant vs. the Food police!

I’m gonna need a new catagory for this story…

Of late there have been some silly commercials floating across The Bull’s tv screen. One shows this large hand coming along and stealing a kid’s ice cream, trashing someone’s berger, and smacking a beer out of a guy’s hand. (Ha! Try that down here in South Alabama and see how quick your teeth are rattling around on the floor!) Anyhoo, the group putting out this commercial is The Center for Consumer Freedom.

After I stopped by their website I began to see that these folks are one the same page as The Bull when it comes to these idiotic “Food Police” out there. Folks, you can’t imagine some of the stupidity these people have in store for you, the average American. I urge you to go by the CCF web site and read for yourself. One such idiotic plan is to literally zone restaurants out of town. Sound like something that is too silly to happen? Well, how about labelling candy as “food porn” and hiding it behind the counter, or “carding” for candy, or a “sin-tax” on restaurants meals under four bucks?

Think it can’t happen? It is happening in hot spots of idiocy Worldwide! Let me quote from the Consumer Freedom’s “Ten Dumbest Food Cop Ideas” page…

Perhaps the worst idea of all is this one from Center for Science in the Public Interest’s Margo Wootan: “We’ve got to move beyond personal responsibility.” Wootan is hardly alone. Anti-soda crusader Harold Goldstein insists, “The delusion is that we all make free choices.” And when the World Health Organization added a line referencing the “exercise of individual responsibility” to its anti-obesity strategy, CSPI raged: “Obesity is not merely a matter of individual responsibility. Such suggestions are naive and simplistic.” Speaking of simplistic, lawsuit cheerleader John Banzhaf sums up the notion of personal responsibility as “crap.”

How do you like that, America? That is what is expected of you. To “move beyond personal responsibility” and let the Government handle everything including your food choices. Look, the fact is that the minute someone starts telling you what you can and can not eat, you are dealing with Communisim or a Cult. End of report. In either case, I’d gladly join in civil war over such actions. How sickening!

Let’s hope the word gets out soon. CSPI Executive Director Michael Jacobson has a dream of Americans eating like 18th century serfs — feasting “on perhaps a pound of bread, a spud, and a couple of carrots per day.”

Sound yummy to you? If so, you can have mine! I’ll settle for a nice Prime Rib, slice of cheese and a tall glass of ice tea or two.

Foolishness.

Try this out. It, at least, has the advantage of being true…
