Wildlife Idiots

Well neighbor, I been thinkin’ bout what’s happened out there in Depoe Bay, Oregon.  That’s a town that sets right there on the Pacific Ocean.  Ain’t much bigger than Mayberry.  Course it ain’t as quiet.  That’s ‘cause they got a big old 4-lane runnin’ right thru town.  Reckon you might a heard of that road - Highway 101.  The one that’s bout as far west as you can get and runs from Mexico all the way up to Canada.  They got lots of folks in town most the year too.  Tourists.  Depoe Bay calls itself the “Whale watching capitol of Oregon.”  They say some grey whales hang out just off shore for 10 months of the year.

They also lay claim to having the “smallest navigable harbor in the world.”  You can maneuver your bass boat ‘round there easy, but your skiin’ jet boat might get a little tricky.  Ain’t ‘cause the harbor’s that small.  It’s 6 acres.  You see, the problem is that harbor’s loaded with them floatin’ docks from the local marinas!  Don’t believe me?  Go google up a picture, Junior.

Anyway, every 4^th of July the Chamber of Commerce puts on a shindig.  You know, music, prize drawings, sidewalk sales and such.  Been doin’ it for years.  Folks look forward to it.  Naturally, they top it off with a big fireworks show come sundown. 

Well not this year neighbor!  They had to cancel the fireworks.  Seems the US Fish and Wildlife Service said so.  Them fireworks is disturbing the Brandt’s Cormorants near town.  That’s a big black sea bird, Clyde.  Kinda ugly, if you ask me.  It ain’t even one of them “endangered species” or nothing.  No sir.  Them good folks at the Wildlife Service is just doin’ their job and enforcing the law.  That’d be the 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

So, if I understand right, all that traffic on Highway 101, all them whale-watchin’ tourists and the music and stuff from that 4^th of July party don’t bother the birds none.  Just the fireworks.  Like the younguns put it, “Just saying.”

Real Americans Don’t Do ‘Holidays’

Howdy Neighbor.  Gotta warn you, I been in kind of what you might call a “Grinchy” mood lately.  Ever since Halloween, most everywhere I go, sales clerks and cashiers have been told to wish everybody a “happy holiday”, not Merry Christmas.  That there’s the problem.  This here is the Christmas season.  Christmas is our nationally recognized holiday.  Always has been.  But it seems there’s some folks among us that don’t like America for what it was and is.  They want to change it.  They invented politically correctness, saying we shouldn’t be offendin’ nobody.

So you say, “What’s wrong with that, Geez?”  Well sir, first off, I ain’t got nothing against change.  A tractor beats a horse any day.  And I ain’t against being nice to folks either.  Unless they’re up to no good, of course.  But there’s more to it then what them political correct people let on.  First off, it ain’t about offendin’ folks.  It’s about greed, pure and simple.  They just want to sell more stuff.  Don’t matter none what the holiday or what the stuff is or where it come from.  Just sell it.  Make money. 

Another thing about this politically correct thing is this: When you change the name of something, it don’t mean the same no more.  If you don’t call it Christmas, then you don’t need to think about the reason for the season.  If it ain’t the Christmas season, then it can be the selling season or the buying season or something else.

This country was based on Christian principles.  Since the beginning, this here country has celebrated Christmas.  The biggest part of us still do.  We don’t celebrate buying season or any other season or day.  If you wanta celebrate something else, move your butt to where they do that.  We celebrate Christmas here!

Well, reckon I got that off my chest.  I feel much better now.  And I’d like to wish y’all a happy and holy Christmas!

White People Can’t Say Nigger – part 2

Hey neighbor, I knew it was gonna happen sooner or later.  A little over a year ago I writ on eBlogger about this very thing. (http://justanogeezer.blogspot.com – 8/18/10)  Well it’s back.  White folks still can’t use the word “nigger” in America.  Now I ain’t talkin’ about using that word in any kinda mean sorta way.  I’m talkin’ about just using the word period!

Yesterday, Herman Cain and some others, once again, made a big deal outa the use of that word.  Don’t get me wrong friend.  I think Mr. Cain has been one straight talker on a whole slew of political stuff.  He’s been straight-up on taxes, debt, big government and such.  But I ain’t sure why he’d go messin’ with this issue.  Looks to me like he went hook line and sinker for that liberal bullshit.  

I don’t particularly cotton to Rick Perry or the hat he’s wearin’, but this here is just another bunch of bull made up by the media.  It’s just amazin’ to me that the media would stoop this low to create “news.”  Reckon it don’t matter that it ain’t Perry’s spread.  He’s just leasin’ the place for huntin’ just like his Pappy did.  And his father painted over that name 30 odd years ago when Ricky was still a youngun.  So now, the fools that runs the “news” shows play “the race card.”  Sure ‘nough, that’s one way to kill a political opponent now ain’t it?  And that’s cause white people can’t use the word nigger.

In the black community, nigger gets used a whole bunch.  And it ain’t in a nice way either.  Black comedians use that word almost as much as they use the F-word.  And you probably don’t remember, but Niggerhead used to be a pretty good chew.  The word gets lots a use in other parts of the world too.  In England, nigger means people from India and Asia as well as from Africa. Nigger Head is the name of an island off the north side of Australia.  Nigger is the right pronunciation of the French word “nègre.”  Lots of English-speakin’ folks all over the world still call Brazil nuts “niggertoes” and without any kind “racial slur” intended.  Up there in Canada, they once had a Niggertoe Mountain.  At least it were till they got one of them politically and socially acceptable names back in ‘66.  Yet, white folks can’t say nigger in the good old US of A (and in them parts of Canada that don’t speak French).

So if me and all my neighbors can’t use the word nigger, you damn well better NEVER use words like whitey, whiteboy, cracker, honkey, whitetrash and the like!  Well, that’s what I think, even if I am…
