We have had one hell of a wet Spring here in Beautiful Dunwoody. It doesn’t bother me a bit since I just had a Japanese Maple planted in my front yard. Those boogers are expensive! But they look nice and since it was just planted two weeks ago, I welcome the rain so I don’t have to water it a few times a week. It’s all leafed out now and looks beautiful. It’s also gonna get the HOA management company off my ass.

I failed an inspection in December. The inspector gigged me for weeds and improper edging allowing grass to creep in. I had just weeded and mulched all of my beds and didn’t know what the problem was. I called the management company and the lady I talked to said it was because I didn’t have anything growing in it. I had a maple tree cut down a few years ago ’cause it provided too much shade and the Bermuda grass doesn’t like shade. I asked her why she knew what the problem was and I didn’t? She really didn’t have a good answer but told me not to worry but to plant sumpin’ in the Spring. I was always planning on putting in a Japanese Maple and had had the stump ground and was waiting for the rest to rot out. So it’s in and has welcomed the rain.

On the downside, my thrift on the Great Berm of Dunwoody, didn’t bloom very long. It usually blooms a lot longer. I’ve got a beautiful ornamental cherry in the backyard that only blooms for a few days and this year the days were even fewer. It’s a real shame because it is really beautiful when it is in full bloom. A few years back, when my Mimosa tree died, the guy who took it down offered to take down the cherry tree as well. He said it had a fungus and was dying. I told him it was just restin’. Beautiful plumage the Norwegian blue ornamental cherry. It wasn’t dead. It was pining for the fjords. Sure enough, a year later parts of it bloomed and grew leaves. The dead parts I was able to snap off with my hands. To look at it now, you would never know how close it came to death.

A perfect example of it.

Our Lost Constitution: The Willful Subversion of America’s Founding Document by Senator Mike Lee.

Both parties, along with the Supreme Court (Thanks John Roberts, you pandering asshole) are complicit in the subversion of the Constitution. I give our Republic another thirty years at most before it descends into a socialist dictatorship. Obungler is showing just how easy it will be.

We already have families with dynastic ambitions with the Bushes and the Clintoons. Don’t be surprised if Moochelle decides to enter politics. We have already had one first lady enter the Senate whose only qualifications were her name and her vagina. Now, she’s running for president for the second time and once again, her only qualifications are her name and her vagina. She was a mediocre senator and a lousy secretary of state. She was shoved aside in 2008 by a black man because blacks have more Diversity (All Hail Diversity!) points than women. His only qualifications were his skin color and his ability to read words, written by others, off a TelePrompTer. Thunder Rodent Thighs actually won more votes in the primaries than Obumbler but since the Dimocrats have super delegates to prevent disasters like Dukakis and Mondale, they gave the nomination to Oblunder.

The U.S. Mint has announced that it will launch a 50-cent coin. It will honor two great American patriots. One side will feature Theodore Roosevelt; Nathan Hale will grace the other. Why? (more…)

How is it that I have never heard of this group. Per formerlib, the lead guitarist, Michael Schenker is the brother of the rhythm guitarist of the Scorpions.

It’s gloomy outside here in Beautiful as we are experiencing the April showers that bring many flowers so that puts me in the mood for the Adagio by Albinoni.

I like the way they pass the dominant melody back and forth. She’s got the hardest part since she has to turn her head to watch him while all he has to do is lift his head to watch her. Methinks they could do better if they faced each other or if they had more confidence in their playing and tempo that they wouldn’t have to look at each other all the time. It detracts from the performance. Yes. Listen to the dude who will never approach their ability on guitar criticize their performance.

Here it is on solo guitar. I like this one more.

A contestant, Sally, on ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire?’ had reached the final
plateau. If she answered the next question correctly, she would win $1,000,000.
If she answered incorrectly, she would pocket only the $25,000 milestone money.

And as she suspected it would be, the million-dollar question was no pushover.
It was, ‘Which of the following species of birds does not build its own nest but
instead lays its eggs in the nests of other birds?

Is it:

A) the condor

B) the buzzard

C) the cuckoo

D) the vulture

The woman was on the spot. She did not know the answer. She had used up
her 50/50 Lifeline and her Ask the Audience Lifeline. All that remained was her
Phone-a-Friend Lifeline. She hoped she would not have to use it because her
friend was, well, an uninformed voter who had voted for Obungler. But she had no alternative.

She called her friend and gave her the question and the four choices.

The uninformed voter responded unhesitatingly: ‘That’s easy. The answer is C: the cuckoo.’

The contestant had to make a decision and make it fast. She considered employing a reverse strategy and giving Meredith any answer except the one that her friend had given her. And considering her friend was an uninformed voter that would seem to be the logical thing to do. But her friend had responded with such confidence, such certitude, that the contestant could not help but be convinced.

‘I need an answer,’ said Meredith.

Crossing her fingers, the contestant said, ‘C: The cuckoo.’

‘Is that your final answer?’

‘Yes, that is my final answer.’

And Meredith replied, ‘That answer is…. Absolutely correct!
You are now a millionaire!’

Three days later, the contestant hosted a party for her family and friends,
including the uninformed voter who had helped her win the million dollars.
‘Joni, I just do not know how to thank you,’ said the contestant.
‘How did you happen to know the right answer?’

‘Oh, come on,’ said the uninformed voter…
‘Everybody knows that cuckoos don’t build nests. They live in clocks.’

I’m not sure if I’ve ever given an award to Thunder Rodent Thighs or not. If not, then this will be the first of what I’m sure will be many during the next nineteen months. What about that Magical Mystery Tour where the traveled in her decked out van to meet with “oprdinary people”? Of course, the “ordinary people” were all Dimocrat operatives. And then her van parked in a handicapped space. Bitch! Here’s your award.

Saw this letter in this morning’s Atlanta Urinal and Constipation from Joyce Carroll from Marietta an apologist for the black teachers int the Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal.

Regarding “Stiff punishment” (News, April 15), as a citizen of this great country, I have been appalled by a justice system that I believe is split in two: one for White America, and one for Black America. It is especially reflected in our sentencing system. I am bewildered by the criminalization of the teacher cheating scandal in Atlanta. Where has our humanity gone? I do believe that had those women been white — a reflection of many of your wives, mothers and sisters — there would have been a totally different outcome, only suspensions and probation.

How would we know? None of the teachers involved in the cheating scandal were white. Find us some white teachers who cheated and then we can discuss the sentencing. Until then cram your racist bullshit up your ass!

Our democracy can no longer tolerate biased judges like Jerry W. Baxter. That is a position that is supposed to hold the “balance” of life in its hands. It is not a position that sees only black and white. It is the likes of this that is stunting our democracy and the growth of this great nation.

Pure bullshit! You wanna talk about race? Howza ’bout all of the black children whose lives were ruined by these teachers? Don’t you have any concern for them? How would you feel if it were one of your children whose future was destroyed by these dooshbags? But you don’t have to worry. You live in Marietta which has much better schools than the APS. The teachers in your children’s schools (if you have any children) don’t have to cheat because they are actually educating the children rather than giving the children the answers or erasing the answers and marking the right answers. Geez! Sorry Joyce but you an apologist for incompetence and cheating. Some of these people, like Tamara Cottman deserve a stiffer punishment than they got. You’re an idiot! GFY!
