We're so mean!
[otoh, mean people never “faint”...]
Why should we make those fellas of unnamed backgrounds go to a whole buncha trouble in order to drive airplanes into buildings? Let’s just give away a drivers license with every bag of oranges ya buy at the freeway on ramp. ‘Cuz as everyone knows, just having a license makes ya a safe driver—right?
Or, if you’re a real uptight stickler isolationist, ya might wanna sign this and show up here...

State of Jefferson
Modoc Point , Klamath Lake—sun’s out
Klamath Lake—ice stacks up at the edge where the wind blows it
Modoc Lava beds near Tule Lake—fertile fields in distance
some rough country in the lava beds where the Modoc Indians held off 10 times their number for 6 months ‘til betrayed by two of their own
[one named “Teddy” I b’elive]
Trumpeter Swans and Honkers and ducks and… on Tule Lake

And we don't do this WHY ?!?
Oh, yeah—we’re sophisticated and civilized.... ‘cept in Ohio. ...and WA. ...and Mass. ...and particularly the transient population in DC. ...and __________.
Not Movin' to Jefferson... Yet
"change your shoes—change your life!"
The Headmistress mentioned that there is a bit of contentiousness going on about the water ‘round ‘bout the Klamath Basin.
This is one of the many reasons Gale Norton oughta be hanged. Repeatedly. Along with anyone and everyone of the minions who carried out that damfool decision to cut off the life-blood of the farmers in this area—over a biologically baseless contention about a goddam suckerfish! Throw some o’ the damfish in a pond and get on with your life!
Think about it; it was the same for Norton to cut off the farmers’ water as it would be for the Feds to cut off electricity to someone’s office and take the ‘puters, cut off diesel for someone’s trucks and take the trucks, remove all the stock in someone’s store and cut off deliveries. The Feds ain’t a supposta be able to do that.
It’s an old saying: This is The West where whiskey’s for drinkin’ and water’s for fighting over. I’d like to add, “and Moonbats are for target practice.”
Which is one of the many reasons the State of Jefferson is such an attractive idea.
Oh, and the ‘net is alive and well in Klamath Falls—even in the motels. Here in Alturas, it’s **wireless** Good war driving territory.

Hijos de Putos!
Am I gonna hafta fire my nanny?!? ...and gardeners?!? ...and stable hands?!?
MEXICO CITY - Mexican officials said Thursday they may complain to an international human rights tribunal if U.S. courts fail to overturn Arizona’s Proposition 200.
“[First] We are looking at all legal means in the United States...” said spokesman Edgar Trujillo.
NOT requiring American law enforcement to enforce American laws is a human rights violation—MY rights.
ThanQ! Rodge
Dear Iraq,
Our thoughts and prayers, our good wishes and our best and brightest are with you today—make the most of it. You will never have a better friend—or a worse enemy.
Do right by US, and by yourselves.
America
Break Out The Duck Tape!
fool and murdering clown on the loose, again
This utterly despicable ....being is trying to work his way up to OBL status by spewing treasonous nonsense right before their election. Al Jazeera is running the hand-delivered tape non-stop, I presume.
Incomplete job.
[I gotta wonder—whatinhell is wrong with those living in Mass that they haven’t stormed both their Senators with torches and pitch forks by now?!?]
ThanQ! Lloyd! and American Patriots
I loooves them wide open spaces
notes from Klamath Falls and beyond
Perfect, cloudy weather. 35° is not so cold here. And the views!!! ahhhhhhhh—elbow room.
See? Wide Open Spaces. That is north of the lake near Fort Klamath. Good country. Long views. Open groves of aspen and conifers around the edges. Dark, rich looking soil. Not a lotta rocks in evidence in the fields.
Those are hay fields. Lotsa water—most of it frozen, now.
Around the edge, before the ground rises very much, are groves of trees, widely spaced and parked-out. Good riding country.
I even found a little place. Might need some work....
Then there is the Lake… [looking east from the north side]
And the gooses. Piles and piles of gooses! and swans… and pelicans… and ducks… and bald eagles… and, and, and....
And in summer there are ‘midges’—tiny green non-biting insects brought in to quell the ‘skeeters. Word is that one must hose off the radiator daily, or more, to keep from burning up. They gather on the windowsills in piles. Oh, and there is a Horsefly Management District office. That cannot be good.
The town is on the way up—cleaning up and signs of some new businesses. I saw absolutely *no* bums. It gets to be 19° at night.... The residential areas of the town… Some pretty old houses that in CA $100K. There are actually houses—not falling down 3 walled “quaint” properties under $80K. Haven’t seen that in I dunno how long.
‘Course there is rather a large summer teeth contingent. Speed busts in the paper regularly. [not the going-too-fast kind...]
The hunt continues . . .
Comments Broken!
*bangs head on wall*
I am getting lots of notice that comments are broken. My apologies. Please feel free to use email to comment [addy at top left]
I will be working on this as soon as I get back home.
Meahwhile, check below for actual interesting stuff:

A Must Read...
with photo and request for response
ThanQ! Scott
SF makes some changes
and so on and so on and scoobie doobie—mmmmmm-doobie...
Makes smoking illegal in parks, gardens and city owned “recreational spaces.” oh, except golf courses…
“Second hand smoke is just as dangerous outdoors as indoors.” said Alioto. [think if I blew a puff at her she’d melt? Can I try? puhleeeeeeeze]
One Stupidvisor Supervisor’s plan plan to require a supervisor to cast his or her vote within a minute of being called failed to win the required eight-member backing at Tuesday’s board meeting. [guess they were in the bar across the street ...in the bar across the street.]
RALPH NADER appears in SF this week as part of his 2005 national tour against the war. [kinda like Cher’s Never-Ending Farewell Tour]
Moves to “recount” deaths in the 1906 Earthquake. [FEMA relief bid? Nope—just suggested by an “beat author” whose major claim to fame is wrestling in a pig sty with Ken Kesey. oh, and turning Santa Cruz into “another Paris!"] [have you seen Santa Cruz?]
San Francisco Unified School District will ask a judge today to lower the legal fees, $9 million [$800/hour], that public interest lawyers want for a case recently settled with the district for $300 million to make the schools more accessible to those who are disabled. [those schools already meet CA state standards]
Charges a 17¢ tax per grocery bag tax. Plastic or paper. [the stores can keep half the money to “set up programs” uh huh.]
For fiscal year 2003-04, general fund-supported city departments spent $1,345,968 on postage just sending crap to each other. [why not FedEx it?]
Spends $100 million per year federal and local, on direct ‘services’ for bums. [coincidentally exactly the amount that they are short in the budget...]
Moves to sent $1 million to the tsunami viiiictims. [maybe they can close another firehouse and fire 100 more beat cops. Hell, they not allowed to arrest anyone for anything but having a fag smoke, anyway.]
It was a busy busy day in San FranFreakShow.
A touching story of Muslim youth...
a tale of merciless betrayal...
*wipes eye*
Yup
ROAD TRIP!!!
I’m packing today and leaving in the a and m! Off to investigate places to move to get the hell outta CA.
This trip—Klamath Falls!
It's the Borders, Stupid!
Dubya—are the doors locked at your house?
The “Naco Line”. Mexico on the left. Arizona on the right. Arizona and Mexican mountain range is background to the east. (Huachuca Mountains)
The citizenry is not happy.
Mexico is encouraging its citizens to ignore US law and run like lemmings North across the border with it’s little “comic book.” Agustín Pradillo, the press envoy at the Mexican Consulate in San Francisco defends the book:
"A guide to the dangers that you’ll encounter in the Middle East is not going to encourage (Americans to go there),” he said.
“Providing such information will not increase the number of immigrants who come,” said Mark Silverman, a lawyer for the Immigrant Legal Resource Center. “As long as Mexicans earn $5 in Mexico and $60 a day in the U.S., they’re going to come.”
“On the one hand, the Mexican government defends the right of Mexican immigrants moving into the U.S. illegally, but on the other hand they do not treat Central American immigrants well who… pose no threat to Mexico whatsoever,"
Gooses… Ganders… *sigh*
The US-Mexican border, separated by only a broken, rusty barb wire fence. This is the U.S. idea of border protection. (View is looking into Mexico)
So, Dubya. *ahem* Over here, Mr President. Look us in the eye. We’re in danger. We’ve just been insulted. What are you planning to do about it?
Despite his signing a bill authorizing 2,000 new border agents, President Bush will not ask Congress for enough money to fund them.
Tens of thousands of debris sites, like the one pictured in Arizona, are scattered throughout the entire 2,000 mile U.S.- Mexico border.
Alrighty, then.... Oh, and Asa and Norm won’t let us “racially profile?” So we can’t stop anyone who looks like a clown-car full of 20 or 30 young Mexican and Arabic males heading North? Oh, but you can stop little old ladies with bouncy terriers and strip-search ‘em? Good thinking. knothead…
Well, y’all may have forgotten that you’re dealing with the American people, here. Not Canadians, eh?
A retired California businessman, James Gilchrist [BAJ, BSBA, MBA (Taxation), CPA (Ca.)], a combat-wounded U.S. Marine and Vietnam veteran, ...has 240 volunteers ready for a 30-day aerial and ground surveillance campaign on the Arizona-Mexico border to highlight what he calls the government’s failure to control illegal immigration.
Billed as “Americans doing the job Congress won’t do,” the project is intended to showcase inadequate border- and immigration-enforcement policies by the U.S. government…
“We hope to bring enough attention also that we can send a message to our leaders in Washington, D.C., that this is our country,
too,” he said. “This border issue is about all 50 states, not just Arizona or Texas. It’s about our Constitution and how it applies to all of us. We’re looking for this nation to again be guided by the rule of law ..."
HooRah, Mr Gilchrist! ‘Cept, it is not “our country too.” It is our country. Period. Congress et al are our employees. Those fat fools They serve the American people at the pleasure of the American people.
More details on James Gilchrist’s Minuteman Project.
Anyone who joins, please keep us posted!
"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a brave and scarce man, hated and scorned. When the cause succeeds, however, the timid join him...for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.”
-Mark Twain
