Invasion by the Zombie Virus Monster

 
 
A MESSAGE TO ALL OROGs
 
 
    We have been attacked by several invading viruses but your humble servant has managed to fight back with some success.  This has occurred even as we have begun to speak out ever more firmly against the Obama administration and the not-so-funny-clown-show that represents said administration so well.
 
     If it were not for the fact that everybody wasn't out to get me, I'd think that I was one of them there  pair of noids.  We shall continue to work on the issue of invasive advertising linkages and incessant pop-ups and difficulty in keeping my kitchen open.   We have had considerable trouble accessing the area where we do our composition.
 
More later.

Vote down the tax and spend budget deal

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
     We were looking over this ghastly blueprint worked out by the joint committee on budget resolution, and we are, after having read it before voting on it, stunned by the stupidity of the document's preparers.   It is either that or the preparers are thinking that there no longer exists  sizeable numbers of people who can do basic mathematics, or who can do basic deductive reasoning.
 
     We are given an "agreement" worked out after "hard negotiation" between a moderate Republican who is trying to be reasonable and a hard-case socialist Democrat who is such a nice girl that you just have to like her sincere and gentle tone.   The poor dear looked so exhausted, after all that hard work.  And she had the hard row to hoe, as you know.   She had to make certain that the taxtax, spendspend, electelect program had to be funded at all costs.  She is also saddled with the responsibility to put someone else's money where her mouth and all the Democrat elected officials, and their parasitic coterie of interests, mouths are ready to slurp up the goodies.
 
     And then that nice Ryan boy comes out...a true, hard-case conservative.  Boy, don'tcha know?   He really gave it to that lefty Yankee girl.  So let's see.
We lard on 70 billion USD of pork renderings....enough to render soap for the Winter and quite a bit of cured sausage ready for Spring.   And of course that has to be done right away, because there are a lot of people out there suffering and it's cold and Christmas....excuse me....Solstice Kwanza is coming up.   So we need to put 70 billion dollars back into the kitty for necessaries like the Elderly Lesbian Eskimo Trapeze Artiste Retirement, Re-education, and Astronaut Training Program for African-American, Hispanic, and American Samoa and Virgin Island Eskimoes.   And for the Minority Obese Child Supplemental Feeding Program.  And the Women-only UNESCO and UNICEF and UNICYCLE three-year WORLD CRUISE, guided by (Sir Edmund)Hillary, HRH Michelle, and Miss Flukie.....they are such delightful, caring people.  So concerned about others, you know.
     That is a one-year allocation, to begin, essentially immediately.
 
     But Ryan stuck it to the  National Socialist Democratic Labour Union Party,  by golly!   He wrangled a 23 billion dollar reduction in spending outlays, to begin sometime after the next fiscal year, that would be spread over a period of ten fiscal years.   WOW!  I mean....like really....wow....I guess.  Maybe....kind of.
     Twenty three billion dollars over ten years.   Two billion, three hundred million per year for ten years.   Obama managed to lose Ten Billion just on the stock sale loss over the Union-ownership of GM initiative.   Then add on another billion just on Solyndra and Fisker 'green energy" initiatives and then almost a trillion on ineffective "shovel ready" and union-hiring initiatives that had no effect in terms of permanent employment.
 
     Let's see.   Over ten years.   Over ten years, the United States Government will spend at least 40,000,000,000,000 USD.   That is if the USD is still an extant currency.   So we put 2,300,000,000 over the amount of 40 trillion USD...what does that look like?
 
                                                                 2,300,000,000
                                                    40,000,000,000,000
 
      It's just obvious that Ryan is being way, way, way over-optimistic.   El Gringo Viejo doesn't see any possible way that anyone could keep from spending 200 pennies for every 40,000 dollars over that length of time.  So, in order to be fair, we must just go ahead and surrender that part of the agreement because if not, funding for Al Gore's Brazilian Baked Alaska Museum will have to be cut back over 2 per cent, and we can't really expect that much suffering to be inflicted upon the people.....and the children.
 
Sheesh....Merry Kwanza, Happy Solstice.....let me see, where is my picture of Saint Mary with elephant dung by Ofili?   Oh! Here it is.


Chris Ofili: The Virgin Mary

Chris Ofili: The Virgin Mary
Ofili's work is made up of paper collage,

 oil paint, glitter, polyester resin and
 elephant dung on linen.
 
This was one of those other wondrous investments of somebody else's money.   The National Endowment for the Arts, and the New York Harlem Museum of the Arts....several thousands of pennies plus travel, accommodations, and such for that nice boy, Chris Ofili....he was soooo, soooo talented.  It was a shame when he and most of his friends all....well, we shan't diverge.   We think that although the content might be offensive to some throwback type people, that the subject is handled with great respect and deference.   It makes such a magnificent statement about the nature of the "envelope pushers" of our culture.  


We retire for at least a moment.  Time for feeding the cats for the 9th time, you know, once for each life, each day, each cat.   That is the best deal I could work out with the Sindicato Nacional de Gatos.

It is even worse than we thought....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
     We are working on pictures of HRH Obama going through the line-up of infamy not once but twice, and actually shaking hands with Robert Mugabe.  We are wondering why even FOX News has turned a blind eye to these peculiar gestures being made by our Official Deign Meister.   This is an illness and is represented best by the glaring, purposeful abuses of office...Fast and Furious, the Big Benghazi Lie, the Syrian Big Lie, the abandonment of Israel, the cleaving unto Tehran, the nationalisation of the medical industry by stealth and bribe, the stabbing of Mubarek in the front and the back-door endorsement of the Muslim Brotherhood's right to enslave Egypt, the Budget Lies, the use of the stupid and ignorant and "entitlement dependent" as cannon fodder in the war to destroy our Democratic Republic.....all these things and more!

     These matters underscore the obvious that cannot be readily seen because it is so obvious....it is hidden in plain sight and even celebrated by the Obsolete Press.  The Obsolete Press is composed almost entirely of marxist lackeys and sophomoric sophisticates who regard Barrack Hussein Obama as the one perfect artefact to employ in the destruction of America.


     It is very necessary to dash about and find the video and photographic and even the print references to these events because the leftfilter devices have been deployed in panic mode in order to cancel any recovery of them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There were several encounters between Castro, the Brazilian President, and Obama during the episode on the dais.  With Mugabe there seems to have been only one, and we are having trouble at this point in finding the photo. But the cover-up is well represented in the article summary below.


Obama shakes hands with Cuba's Castro at Mandela service


Editor’s Note — An earlier version of this story incorrectly said that President Barack Obama, on his way to the rostrum to speak at the memorial for Nelson Mandela on Tuesday, shook the hand of President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe.

(This is the disclaimer made by NBC....after previously reporting along with several other news organisations that Obama had in fact vigorously shaken hands with Mugabe. - EGV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


WEASEL ZIPPERS includes their own observation of this interesting phenomena:

The progression can be noted below.

NBC News:

Briefly laying aside differences hardened over decades, President Barack Obama on Tuesday shook the hand of the president of Cuba at the memorial service for Nelson Mandela.
The handshake appeared to be the first between American and Cuban presidents since 2000, when Bill Clinton and Fidel Castro greeted each other at a United Nations luncheon in New York, and only the second since 1959, when Castro took power.
It was Fidel Castro’s brother, Raul, named president of Cuba in 2008, who shook Obama’s hand on Tuesday. [...]
On his way to the rostrum, Obama also shook the hand of Robert Mugabe, the strongman ruler of Zimbabwe, and hugged Dilma Rousseff, the president of Brazil, who has stridently opposed spying by the National Security Agency and criticized the U.S. government.
Via Telegraph:

The handshake between the two historic enemies came as they attended a ceremony in Johannesburg to celebrate the late South African leader’s ability to foster reconciliation.
The gesture – which comes despite half a century of hostilities but follows a thawing in relations in recent years – came as Mr Obama made his way to a podium to deliver a speech.
In today’s ceremony in South Africa, Mr Obama also shook the hand of Robert Mugabe, the president of Zimbabwe, and greeted Dilma Rousseff, the president of Brazil, with a kiss on the cheek despite recent tensions between the two over the extent of US spying revealed in the NSA leaks.
Update: NBC quietly deletes the Mugabe reference, no correction noted.
 Stand up journalism, NBC!
On his way to the rostrum, Obama also hugged Dilma Rousseff, the president of Brazil, who has stridently opposed spying by the National Security Agency and criticized the U.S. government.

We have lost our Mexican news coverage of the events in Pretoria because of the fact that significant, official movement has begun in the effort to open exploration, processing, and marketing of Mexican oil and gas to foreign operations.  It appears that the Pen~a Nieto administration, in league with the conservative Partido de Accion Nacional.   Pretoria becomes, as it should, a fourth-level sideshow designed to entertain the dwindling number of leftists
who wish to Crown another secular humanist Saviour of Humanity.

    Barack Hussein Obama will be another one who will have a funeral where people rise up and speak words no one will listen to nor will they hear, because they will be, as those of recent days past, consumed by their own little designs to save humanity.   And they will be roughly as significant as this last batch of drivelling self-consumed narcissists.   

More later.   Pardon the reporting on-the-run.
El Gringo Viejo

Addenda:   We have learned that Greg Partok, the on-scene FOX News reporter, and a real professional, was working pretty much with a very small staff, and essentially "rolling his own" in a somewhat chaotic environment.  That is the reason for the absence of much coverage beyond the international wires and free-lance material showing up on FOX News.  Bristish SKY's reporting also has fairly generic material.

Yes, he did bow to the Tyrantasaurus Cubanus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
 
Folks, just a very quick note.   The moving pictures of this event were on the various Mexican national channels.   The conservative party in Mexico is stunned to say the least and even the centrist party people were puzzled if this was a signal of some kind or if Obama is just that stupid as to allow himself to become a pawn in the propaganda mill of the Cuban government.   Amazing.   I noticed that Drudge has a take from the Mexican video...so if you all tune in to some Univision or Televisa connection that you might have during the nightly news to-night, you might be able to see the full 90 second clip.   It was not a 12 second strained encounter.  There might have existed the slightest chance that HRH Barry did not know who Raul Castro Ruz was or is, nor what he looks like.

Yes. Virginia, HRH Barry does bow before
corrupt, deadly tyrants.
 
 
 
Please forgive this late posting but we had to back up this still shot with the facts from reliable Mexican international news fountains of information.

How to Give a Campaign Speech at a Funeral

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

View image on TwitPic website 

The Clash of the Narcissistic Titanics
 Barry vs. Michelle
This is the stuff from which soap
 operas and Oprah shows
draw their inspiration!


 
 
     Ah, Barry, you're such a predictable Bolshie.  Mix in a bit of white-trash and you are the new standard for something lower than low class. 
 
    But, but Gringo Viejo....you must show respect of the Office of the President! It is simply not appropriate to speak of the President in such terms.

     But, dear observer, I am showing respect for the Office of the Presidency.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
      The idea that a President of the United States of America could spend time taking "selfies" during a memorial/state funeral "production"....is now the new basement-level deportment for self-absorbed white trash over the age of 9 years.



Michelle contemplates which pin goes into the voodoo doll, and which voodoo
 doll looks most like that cracker cow.  And of course, this is all so presidential.
The amazing thing is that the Prime Ministerette of Denmark, and the Prime
Minister of the Netherlands would be taking
 the plunge into the sludge with Barry.
 
 
      The protocol officer for the White House be required soon to say, "Now remember, Mr. President, when you are talking to the Pope or listening to His Holiness talk to you, please try to appear sincere and interested.  And remember, try not to pick your nose or take any 'selfies' while you are having your conversations.    Mr. President.....Mr. President, and it would be appreciated if you would pay attention while I'm trying to talk to you....there is no need to make a mirror-reflected, triple 'selfie' while I am trying to clear up a few issues here."

     The next point, Barry....as we wander through the high grass and weed of the mind of an immature Bolshie whose main concerns are wonderfully autocentric....is that it is terribly bad form to shake hands with a despot whose record of destroying liberty, establishing corruption, and practicing totalitarianism to perfection is well known.

     It is also bad form to yuk it up and do saloon laughs during a funeral.   A few polite jokes by the eulogist and some pleasant chuckles are appropriate, but not the rollicking good time of a demonstrably chronic, pathological liar so obviously concerned that he be the centre of all attention.

     The hyper-afterburner switch has been put in play by the press, and Mandela is busy being bronzed, gilded, and raised to  higher point of the altar of Marxism, just below Frida.  But, after a generation since the abolition of apartheid, conditions for the common black African citizen in South Africa, the conditions have become worse.   Socialist policies and "depraved benevolence" of one party rule seem to have worked not quite as well as "benign neglect" and free enterprise might have done.
     The huge number of empty seats at the "funereal rally" seemed a bit incongruous when compared to the almost incessant leg-tingling and heavy breathing of the press....both about Father Obamaham and Saint Madiba (why wait for the beatification committee to meet?).   Some noted that, it being a cold Winter's day and rainy, a lot of people could not make the show.   That all sounded good until they who so spake began to realise that they were in the deep part of the Southern Hemisphere....in, like, what is kinda like called, you know, like SUMMER!   Bummer, dude. 
       It could be pointed out that not a lot of people in South Africa could afford to dress for the occasion, and also, not a lot of people could afford to drive, take a taxi, take a bus, use the family motorcycle, or had shoes that could handle the trek.   And, it would be necessary to leave a large part of the family behind in order to make certain that nobody would saw a hole into the cardboard wall and come in and steal everything in the "house". The crime and murder rate in South Africa makes Mexico's problems literally look like a day in the library.   South Africa's crime problem is even worse than Chicago and Detroit's.  Not by much, but it is even worse.

     It will last through these, my remaining days, my memory of  the robot-like shift by HRH Barry into the campaign speech, full of purposeful inaccuracies, nearly shouted like a cheerleader to a crowd that had probably already tired of sitting and listening to so many self-impressed speakers.   My thought was, "Perhaps he'll just cut to the chase and urge the people to 'Take your revenge', as he had during his mendacious campaign just past."

    Barry and Billy Jeff...two disgusting slugs....and one wonders if this is really the best we can do?   Is this what we have become?   Where has the critical thinking gone...and where is the notion hiding that requires us to first ask, 'Is this in the best interest of the Republic?'   Is public assistance the best we can do?   Is the idea that "If he gits disability, then I wanna git disability"?
     Of course the following words can be used in lieu of disability:   stamps, SSI, crop subsidy, 99 weeks of paid vacation, free housing, Medicaid, WIC, utility subsidy, and several hundred other "free money" programs that are used to buy off the slothful and the businesses that attend to them.

It always goes back to re-establishing the Republic of Texas as a citadel of functional inefficiency, relying on the jumbled interaction of people who are morally centred and aware of the Golden Rule.   The existence of a place where, in very large part,  self-interest replaces selfish interest and where state control, bondage, and political correctness is replaced by self-reliance and a friendly smile, seems like a much Shinier City on the Hillside.

Special Note to Jos. A. Banks

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
     We approach the day on a grumpy note.  It has turned very cold again, drizzly, with periods of moderate rain.  El Zorro has a bit of a problem that seems to be going to take him out of circulation for a bit....nothing serious probably....but something that has to be looked in to and adjusted a bit.
 
 
     And so, El Gringo Viejo has to worry about more important things like returning to his grumpy old standby complaint about the notion of "FREE".   There are exactly 3,205 advertisements every hour on FOX News from Jos. A. Bank men's wear, showing a bunch of guys who look like Ken Dolls acting just like "real people".    The new ebullient announcer, who replaced his clone apparently, booms forth incessantly with the good news of the world to-morrow, "Buy One and get one million FREE!"
 
     A local radio announcer from down here in the Magic Lower Rio Grande Valley, normally a pretty sharp fellow, asks to no one-everyone in radio-land,  "How do they do that?  How do they make any money?" 
 
     And that is when I know that the Republic is lost and that the capacity for critical thinking has been flushed into that great septic tank that holds all good things that are lost forever, never to be recovered even in the afterlife. It's over.    Even Don Imus was asking on his early morning FOX Business program, "How do they do that ? Are the other suits made out of paper?"
 
     El Gringo Viejo twists his over-sized spoon that is used to meld two big scoops of brown sugar, two drops of vanilla, a quarter cup of whole milk, and two cups of extra double strong coffee....and he twists....and he twists....until the life is gone from the spoon.   He flings the lifeless, twisted remains of the noble old spoon at the television (smallish flat-screen), but as so many spoons before, it misses the screen.  El Gringo Viejo was a pretty good pitcher in his day, but the old arm and eye are what they used to be....perhaps they never were what they used to be.
 
     But here is the point.   Please take notice, Jos. A.   There is a law in the universe that reads, "If any person, especially a minority or a non-minority, is required to pay for something, the secondary and tertiary items involved in the acquisition by that minority or non-minority of the items are not free.   Those items are considered to be...''....included in your purchase"   or "...at no extra charge."
     If a payment is required to obtain those secondary and tertiary items, none are "free" then there is nothing "free" in any of the transaction.
 
     If, in fact, the Jos. A. Bank suit that is bought and the others are "free" then there is a serious problem in the department of the company in charge of pricing.   It would indicate that the first suit was terribly overpriced.
   
    "But wait!  Buy this fluorescent bass masher that doubles as a nose-hair remover within the next 15 minutes and we'll double your order for FREE!!!  (just pay separate shipping and handling).   We refer to that idiocy as "double dipping for dip-sticks".  Not only is the second item not free, but the dummy who is buying the package has to pay to have it delivered.   NOT FREE. Money changes hands for goods and services delivered.   It might be the best deal ever, in the history of the Universe, but IT IS NOT "FREE".
 
     What really most comes to mind is the issue following the aftermath of the Sandra Flukie escapade, where she demanded that my daughter and her daughters pay for Sweet Sandra's contraceptives.   After the uproar about the  horrible pain and suffering the poor Sandra had to endure because of the need to pay 3,000 USD per year for her contraceptives (?), Father Obamaham trundled to the podium to teleprompter a pronunciamento magno by royal decree that "....I am ordering that contraceptive coverage be included for FREE to all insurance coverage in the Obama Socialised Medicine Initiative".
 
     That last sentence in the previous paragraph is not a joke, invention, or piece of poor sarcastic humour.  It is a fact.  It happened with all the appropriate drooling dunces standing behind HRH Barry...some, if I remember correctly, were even wearing white lab coats.   Why the Republicans do not point out this hideous, and very clear, demonstration of royal hubris on a daily basis I do not know.   Perhaps the notion that, if one buys "this" he will receive "that" for "free" is so ingrained now in the lexicon of the American form of expression that it is impossible to make the point.
