I cant believe its been a whole week without a Lindsay Lohan news update. I must admit I am really disappointed. I was just sure that she would have hundreds of reporters sneaking around the bushes and using telephoto lenses trying to catch her all broken down, going thru withdrawl no make up on and eating herself into a bigun!
I did see in the news that a California judge blocked the state from giving the state employees one day off a week as a budget cutting measure. I guess the state should just fire some of them so they can make their budget goals. Makes sense to me, that way at least the judges on the federal pay rolls will be able to keep their jobs when CA is so broke the state has to stop paying their employees. Maybe the can hire all the illegals moving into CA from AZ. One of the Hispanic rights groups in CA is buying up billboard space here in AZ basically bashing our state govt. I wish they would spend some of their money on cleaning up all the trash that the mexican illegals are leaving in the Arizona desert on their way in. I wonder if they know that July was the second deadliest month here in Arizona for illegals die-ing in the Desert on there way thru. Its too hot, and they run out of water and they die a horrible death on the way over. But I guess thats ok. Just last week a little girl escaped from a drop house where she was being held with 19 other illegals by a coyote. She went to wal-mart for help. She said some of them hadnt eaten anything in days. They were just giving them water. It doesnt make sense to me that a people knowingly makes the choice to trek thru the desert. Risk dying, or get hauled over here in the back of a truck and then locked up in a drop house and hope their families can pay enough to get them out. Why dont they just stay home and put all this effort into trying to fix their own country.

why do we bother to vote
Why do we bother to vote. I am getting more concerned about this particular issue every day. I vote. Things dont usually go my way but I do anyway. We vote in many different ways. A friend of mine says that we vote everytime we open our pocketbook by choosing products or services. If enough of us dont buy products or services they stop making them. Why doesnt that seem to work with our government. I thought that this was supposed to be a government by the people for the people. Recently two things that have disturbed me the most have been lawsuits that have overturned laws that the majority of the people in a particular society or group have voted for. I'm not going to say how I feel about the following two issues, some of you already know and some of you might be surprised by how I would have voted but my opinions are moot.
First, the people of Arizona voted, buy their elected officials, and polls in Arizona back this up. To write and approve immigration bill 1070. By the people for the people. Then parts of the bill were blocked in the courts. One appointed judge thinks she knows more about what the people of Arizona want more than they do themselves.
Second, just yesterday the courts overturned the marriage ban in California. I personally support this ban because I do agree that "Marriage" as we know it, should be between a man and a woman. Certain things such as Child Birth and Parenthood should remain between a man and a woman. Civil Unions on the other hand are another issue, but this vote and law was about marriage. The VOTERS of the state of California VOTED to ban gay marriage, and once again the appointed judge decided to overturn the ban based upon how they interpreted the laws.
The solutions to these problems are very simple. Register to vote and VOTE. Vote the politicians responsible for making these judicial appointments out of office. And Vote politicians into office that are going to represent the majority of how Americans feel. A perfect example of this is how our chocolate president is dragging his heels on immigration reform. The longer he waits the more likely he is to win over the liberal mexican vote in this country. Which I feel is a beligerent slap in the face of the people who have immigrated here legally. Get out and Vote people.

Luke air force base
Since the announcement that Luke Air Force base had made the cut to become one of the two bases that will host the new F-35 aircraft. Providing the base passes various studies concerning noise, use , pollution etc.
What a stupid set of reasons to base that kind of decision on. I've spent some time on the internet studying the history of the base. The growth of Phoenix and Glendale and I have come up with this conclusion.
The base was built in 1941, and has a fantastic past. It has played a major part in every conflict the U.S. has been involved in since WWII. That alone should be enough to keep the base open and make it worthy of housing a new fighter jet. Noise considerations should never become an issue. The base was there first. Common sense should tell people that if you build a house near an air-base. There will be noise. Now I am sure that the greed of the increase in tax base is what drove the city to allow housing additions to surround the base. But what amazes me is the thinking that taxes would be more important than the millions of dollars in income, medical care, fringe employment supplied because of the base that will help drive the Arizona economy. Luke air force base alone supplies 2.2billion dollars a year to Arizona's economy. It's estimated the the changover income brought to the local economy will be upwards of $125,million dollars.
I say buy all the offended home-owners houses, at fair market value, sometime at the end of the year when they have gone down another 1% a month. I think that is do-able, they can be condemned under the eminent domain provisions in the law. Then bulldoze them down. Problem solved.
Common sense should tell you not to build a house by an airport.

the joy of having a dog
I decided quite some time ago that I like dogs better than most people. Not cats or birds or horses, Dogs. I've also decided that my opinion of people can be influenced by observing the relationship my friends have with their dogs. I realize if I was truly a good person I wouldnt have an opinion, but I also belive that everybody has an opinion on every subject and those who say they dont are actually just hipocrits. The real challenge is to not let your opinion of things effect you life or your relationships in any way. I think I am really good at that. Anyway back to the dogs. I know some people who are real shits in their everyday lives but when it comes to their dogs they are the most loving caring person on earth. I hope that this type of compassion would eventually work its way into how we treat others. Often it does not.
I have a real asshole for a dog. His name is Hannibal. I bought him at a horse show when he was 8 weeks old. In spite of his beauty, and he is a very handsome dog, he was the last one left in the litter and I am sure that when I bought him he was living on benedril or something because within 6 hours of purchase he turned into the asshole that he is today. I paid a fortune for this dog. I thought that he would mellow when he got used to me, I was wrong. Within 24 hours of his purchase everybody who came in contact with him at the horse show told me to take him back. Of course the people that I bought him from, who told me they were also at the show, disappeared from the face of the earth. In the first 24 hours he bit a hole in my nose, and tried to bite everyone who tried to pick him up. He was cute, everybody that saw him picked him up. A good friend of mine said "he's nasty you should call him Hannibal", and it stuck. The rest of the week at the show was spent trying to make him happy because frankly, he never was. He was too hot or thirsty or didnt want to be held, or wanted to run off, or was growling at the horses or tearing something up. He was more work than the four horses I had at the show.
Well now its been two long difficult years later and like I said, Hannibal has grown up to be a VERY handsome dog. I love him to death. He is still a handful. Very growly and difficult, chews up all his toys, he is getting very territorial. He loves to think he is hearding the horses when he is actually chasing them, and he is one great little alarm. When one of the horses lays down and rolls, or runs in his pen, or starts giving me shit when I am working it. He goes batshit crazy. Bites the fence and carries on like he is possesed by the devil. I'm not so sure he's not.
But there is also another side to Hannibal. He has started to like affection. Demanding it in fact, he wants to sit next to me now when I am sitting at the desk, wanting me to pet him, and every nite when I go to bed he gets in bed with me and snuggles and loves on me like he really likes me. In the morning when I wake up he gets back in bed, and brings all his toys too. He has four or five at any given time, and he wants to hold a toy in his mouth, while he lays up against me with all the rest of his toys around him, and I am supposed to pet him or he will whine and carry on. You may think this is not good, but its really a considerable improvement.
I have loved him all along, working it out in my head somewhat along the lines of adopting a child that turns out to be difficult. Now I have it and I'm going to love it. Now that he is starting to act like he likes me I am really happy. So if you see me at a horse show, or at a race I will probably have Hannibal with me. He thinks that he loves to go along. And like I said most of the time I like dogs better than people so I let him come along. I'm happy to have him with me.

my pet peeve
Let me say right up front that this blog is going to offend some of you. Probably just the ones that I am talking about.
One of my major pet peeve's is the entire sales and marketing industry that is based upon selling to and using friends, neighbors, clubs, etc. to sell too and directly benefit yourself. I am offeded by this more than you can imagine.
Second, by now those of you who know me also know that I belong to a club here in Phx that will go un-named. I mistakenly assumed that the general personality of this group of people would somehow be different than the equine based groups I have belonged to in the past. Then I realized that people will be people no matter what group they are. A trait that is true along all cross sections of humanity I guess.
The club that I belong to it a great club with a really great group of people. Unfortunatly recently we have been infiltrated by one of those parasitic individuals that preys on others. You know the type. Its always I'll do this for you if you do this for me. Never actually paying for anything. Using his percieved over-inflated value to take advantage of others. I guess no harm is actually being done as long as his victims follow along willingly. It just really pisses me off. I like to watch the dynamic of the individuals and their interaction with him. Some of them had this person pegged from the start, some follow along blindly, some hang around on the fringe totally avoiding the fallout. This would be the group that I should belong to and never do. I also think some follow along because their economic situation leads them to always look for the next best thing. Anyway, I am sure that this person will only belong to the club until the well runs dry and then they will move on in search of a new host.
Enough of that now lets talk about something that I really like. The new GEICO insurance commercial depicting the retired military officer that has become a therapist. He is so the person that I'd like to be. Tells it like it is. Doesnt like any "mamby pampy" bullshit. It's great. I love watching the commercial. One of the few that I like.

I love liberals
I love liberals! Without them I wouldnt have near as much to write about. I dont understand why anyone expected Judge Susan Bolton to rule any differently. She was appointed by Obama and I am sure she will be appointed to a better position as soon as politically correct. Obama's history of appointing his supporters to prominent positions. I will have to say the longer Governor Jan Brewer is in office the more I like her. The lady has balls, vowing to appeal Judge Boltons ruling. Good for her and good for Arizona. I am getting a little tired of the news media being so biased. I watch Good Morning America almost every day. I was disappointed watch George Stephanopolis's interview of Sherrif Joe Arpao. Now dont get me wrong I think the sherrif is a bit of a pain in the ass. Nobody seems to notice that crime started to drop in Az when he started to arrest illegal aliens and do his local crime sweeps. They never mention the number of blacks, or whites that get picked up. The number of drunk drivers that he arrests when doing his drunk driving check points is unbelievable. Most of those offenders are usually white, young upwardly mobile white men and women. Why doesnt that make the national news. Why doesnt Diane Sawyer report when a hiker finds a locked up rental van in the desert with 9 illegal immigrents inside, dead from the heat. I was particularly pissed off yesterday morning when the 16 year old high school student was all stressed out about his fear of being arrested and not wanting to move. It was all over the national news. I wonder if anyone besides me noticed how well spoken and educated he was living here in the united states since he was six. In the ten years he has been here he has had plenty of time to try and become a naturalized citizen. And why didnt the interviewer ask him this. Poor illegal, he has been so persecuted.
You people need to keep something in mind. Our economy is in the shitter. Housing values contine to fall. Unemployment is forcasted to continue in the high 9% thru the year 2012, and banks are not loaning money. Wall street is ignoring the economy and will continue to do so. The more of america that we continue to give away. To other countries, to illegals, to the welfare reciepients, who should be doing the jobs the illegals are doing any way. If we keep this up we risk becoming one of the 3rd world nations . I'm just saying.

Dan-isms
I have had several request lately for an update on my blog, or lots of you wondering why I havent posted any new installments lately. Well frankly, Ive been working more and Ive been a little too lazy to write anything. However that doesnt mean the I havent still been running ideas and comments thru my head at an alarming rate. I moved all the horses around today, re-arrainged my pens in preperation for weaning my foal. With the heat here in AZ you kind of have to work in shifts. Especially if you have a real job and you dont have gobs of time to yourself. Obviously thebest time for outide activity is in the morning. With the temperature at 95 degrees at 7:am this morning. I had a small window of opportunity to move two fences made up of Panels, move the broodmares to one side of the barn, the yearling and the weanling to the other side. Put up an outide pen for Fish, and move Martha and Barkley to the south side where they can each have their own runs. Of course Martha couldnt care less. The Mares and weanling did as they were supposed to without any fanfare at all. But of course Barkley, big Stud that he is, or thinks he has become, didnt take kindly to being moved away from his little band of mares. The way he carried on, Screaming and Hollering at them, running around his stall, he even though he was tough enough to take a poke at me. Of course in my sweaty overheated fat state that was when I produced the stall fork and tried to beat him to death with it. He knew he had gone to far when I arrived back at his stall fork in hand, but it didnt stop me from giving him a few choice wacks with it anyway. He still has to remember who really is in charge. The funny part is, he knew at the exact moment that he took a poke at me that he had lost all train of rational thought and I was going to whip his ass because he went immediately to the back of the stall and put his head down waiting for the halter. Too Late! Needless to say the mares couldnt care less where Barkley is living as long as he is not bothering them. He was the only one making any fuss at all. Back the the Halter issue. Which is an issue, I have only had one horse in training since last August and for some reason I have one halter at my house. ONE. I have 8 horses living here and ONE halter. I dont break halters and leadropes, I havent travelled anywhere, I have no idea where they have all gone too. Pictures of the weanling to follow soon, I took some this morning I just have to get them downloaded and uploaded to the net. She is WAY freaking cool.
I have really nice neighbors. Except for the pigs up front but that is another story and I am having enough trouble being in a good mood today so we will discuss them at a later date. I have just decided that they are all either the stupidest people I know, or the laziest. They work hard. Have nice kids. And dogs the bark all day long. The neighbors to the west work all the time and in their defense are never home to listen to it. The neighbors to the east however work from home and listen to their dog bark its ass off everytime they turn it loose in the yard. There usual excuse is Fred is stupid. Well I have decided that Fred is not the stupid one, it would be Freds owners. I know this because I have shot Fred with the pellett gun enough times for barking that I can go outside and shake the gun, or pump it a couple of times and Fred shuts his mouth and runs back to the house. Obviously Fred is not the stupid one.
I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you about my road rage incident last week. I was on my way home from work in the late afternoon, It was a really hot day, and the heat effects me adversly. The lady in the lane immediately to my right decided to change into my lane at the last minute before her lane ended and ran me off the road and up the curb into the median to keep from her hitting me. Now I know she knew the lane ended because I chased her home to yell obscenities at her and she lives in the neighborhood just one mile away. I also know that she saw me before she ran me off the road because I could clearly see her face look in the mirror of her Escalade as she looked back at me and moved over anyway, and then sped up when I started to pursue her. At one point she was actually driving 80 miles an hour thru her neighborhood trying to get away from me. Just imagine me all red faced and pissed off chasing her to her house. I was smart enough to stop on the street and roll down my passenger window and scream at her while she drove in her garage and put the door down. I'm sure that she didnt manage to call the police on her way because she could barely keep control of the Escalade until she stormed into her garage. I have written down her address and intend to leave her with a note and a copy of the bill I had to pay when I had to have the Vette aligned because of the impact with the curb. I seriously think that she is the one who needs to be beaten with the stall fork. Its the weather the heat affects us all.
I have taken the time away from writing in my blog to actually read some of our chocolate presidents book. The Audacity of Hope. It should have been called The Self-riteousness of Color. I was actually amazed to read all of his Ideals and hopes for this country. It also completely maps out just exactly how he intends to run this country. Nothing he has done to this date deviates at all from what he wrote he intended to do. The amazing thing to me is that some of the very things he complains about. Mainly partisan politics. Are some of his most agregis faults to this day. I expect this to continue throughout his presidency considering his history and where he started his political career. Chicago. Where if some of you are old enough to remember the Daly family. Is some of the most corrupt politics in the land occured and continue to thrive to this day. He does have a very eloquent and moving way of making his point. It is very easy to see why so many people have become endocrinated blindly into his way of thought. Much like one of the world most notorious leaders of the past from Germany. I am somewhat surprised at the level of loyalty that he manages to command, unless you look at the demographic that he affects. Mainly the young, and percieved oppressed, and the foreign work force that he promises to take care of. That group of individuals knows nothing of Chicago politics, or the travesties of WWII. Its been too long in the past and not emphasized enough anymore in school to have an impact on them. It is completely understandable why the foreign work force support him. Things are so bad where they were born, that they will grasp on to anything that will makes things better for them. Frankly who would blame them.
I have found a fantastic website. www.secureborderintel.org . It is a website that is made up of hidden cameras along the Mexican/American border both in the San Diego CA area and the Yuma AZ area showing some of the illegal traffic that is pouring into the U.S. It makes for some interesting watching. But keep in mind. Our Head of National Security, Janet Napolitano says our borders are secure.
Well I think I have probably rambled on long enough and its time for me to get to work. Until next time.
