Hound Dog

you ain't nothing but a hound dog...

why be a pet? they clip and snip you, if you're a cat they declaw you...sick!! some California cities still allow declawing..how can this be?? Maryland just outlawed it..the whole state...good for them

so I'm reading EDHAT and they now have an annoying sports video showing while I'm trying to read...this is classic passive-aggressive behavior from the Edhat chicks for people who don't pay a subscription fee!

now, a dog's behavior is pretty simple: you feed the dog, the dog will stay

but the DOG chick at EDHAT wants to complicate the relationship with your dog: "Do you ever consider if the words we use matter when we approach training our canine companions? Do terms that reflect a positive, supportive outlook have physical, mental and emotional effects on us and our relationships with our pets? Conversely, what about an authoritative mindset where we’re having to tell our dogs what to do and when to do it? Perhaps you can see how, from that perspective, if a dog doesn’t listen, we’re likely to get upset and frustrated."

"Humane, force-free dog training requires a different understanding. Instead of having to tell our dogs what to do, we can teach them ‘Life Skills’ so they learn to make good choices on their own."

WTF?? life skills??  "you've been a very bad dog, I think you need to re-evaluate your life choices!"

and now I can't even swear in front of a dog?? fuck that, man!!

look, if a dog doesn't listen to me, I won't get upset because he's probably THINKING ABOUT wolfing around with the girl-dogs, or bitches

and I don't blame him...

Spooky

love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you...

I was reading in the SB Independent Nick Welsh's very funny report on the Bird Refuge in good ol' Santa Barbara...Nick outlined everything the City of SB has tried to kill the stench without success...I have posted on this many times and my fix for this sorry cesspool is to let the waters flow in and out from the ocean and turn it into a marsh like Carpinteria's beautiful salt marsh...

and it appears that's what the city is going to do..however they need to be careful..the plan to remove 24 non-native trees is unnecessary...bionativism is a hoax and planting native trees instead won't solve the stench...

now we all know this haunted pond is or was part of the Clark Estate just up the hill..a spookier mansion you won't find but I think Huguette deserves better than the foul septic tank it has become...

the fix should have been in years ago so all the well-heeled visitors can enjoy the grounds...is Parks and Rec gal Jill involved in the new plans or has she been"relocated" to a cabana??

welp, these warm, beautiful evenings are perfect for get-togethers on the lawn with hot dogs and hamburgs and laughter...joyous laughter

and Easter is coming up!

A Case of You

oh I could drink a case of you...

first, there are no drought tolerant plants...all living things need water so when some little garden girly says "plant native plants, they are drought tolerant" tell her she's full of it! 

ice plant is a good ground cover and it's not invasive, it's evasive, like me...

so everyone says everyone else is trying to "change the narrative"...it's a buzz phrase now...."you're trying to change the narrative!" it's like these people learned a  new word "narrative" and they use it all the time now....at breakfast, lunch and dinner.. "Honey pass the salt please" "NO..Stop trying to change the narrative!!"

besides, you can't change the narrative if you didn't write it, you can comment on it, write your own story but you can't change the narrative because there is no narrative..it's all an illusion

social media dud Truth Social doesn't even work but with Devin Nunes as Donald's CEO, what could possible go wrong?? ERROR!!!!

Putin can dress up in an LL Bean parka and a J. Peterman turtleneck sweater  and do a Trump-like propaganda rally, but he's still a murderous crazed beast...I like Sen Lindsay Graham's idea to assassinate Putin so let's get crackin' boys

I was sad to see big boy Craig Case in the news for some malfeasance...the Wine Country show on KEYT was cheesy as hell but funny...Craig is definitely a bon vivant!

and I see that Mike Stoker is running for State Assembly against Greg Hart who annoys me..

if you don't try to change the narrative, Mike, you might just win!!

Ghosts of War

 

My Old School

California tumbles into the sea...

well Utah's got the right idea lowering the BAC to 0.05 from 0.08 to try to catch drunks before they kill you or bash your car in... Santa Barbara had a good drunk driver team of cops but Wendy got upset when they kept busting her pals and you remember the Peter Lance fiasco, right? they need to reinstate the DUI team 

Utah bucked alcohol industry with its tougher DUI law. A new study shows it made roads safer.

I've seen the stories about Righetti High in Santa Maria and it is schools like this that give public education a bad name...multiple assistant principals and two of them are in trouble for poor citizenship..one guy is a faggot who got caught having sex at school with his boyfriend..another guy got busted for drunk driving with a BAC of 0.23!!! Noozhawk  and KEYT have the details...

it's disgusting...you can't have leaders, role models acting like idiots..

I've had a few bad teachers before but the good ones inspired me..I had a great French teacher and a great Political Science teacher.. and a wonderful English teacher, a lady about whom I had many sexual fantasies

and we had great principals who would wander around the school grounds monitoring everything...they were firm but fair authority figures

Righetti High needs to be audited..investigated and purged of the bad actors..

it's a public school and I don't want my tax dollars wasted on these clowns!!

Come and Get It

if you want it come and get it...

I think Santa Barbara should change its name to Senta Berger.. hey, I'm going into Senta Berger today!

I also think Wendy McCuckoo was ahead of her time requiring News-Press employees to wear masks years ago

now about these podcast issues betwixt Neil and Joe Rogan on Spotify... I don't listen to Spotify but saw Joe on Youtube...seems like an affable guy, not too bright if he took horse pills for the flu, and Neil pulling his music after issuing an ultimatum to Spotify...Joe stays and Neil goes..

I guess Spotify is betting on Rogan and podcasts as the wave of the future..it all boils down to one thing: free will...anything you see or hear must pass before your sensibilities and you can choose to believe or not believe it...simple...free will, Neil, free will, man..you too Joni

more indoor mask mandates by SBC Health..absurd..no wonder there's so much blowback on the Covid issues..the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing..all mask mandates must end now!!

the vaccine is available...if you want it, get it..if not, don't

got it? good

You Don't Own Me

I'm not just one of your little toys...

I wish the News-Press would stop preaching sermons to us: OBEDIENCE TO GOD will set you free says one lady's editorial: "Let’s face it, it is our obedience to God that will set us free from the negative forces in our world, allow us to make good decisions, and make our lives fruitful and beautiful again.This would be the time to return to the source of the values, and decency, inspiration, strength and courage.  Attend your traditional places of worship — churches and synagogues — and re-connect with the traditions and values that perhaps were wrung out of you during the college years." It was a remarkably effective way, those college years, of destroying and tampering down the morality and faith that our forefathers fought so hard to retain for us.

translation: public education is bad because it doesn't teach religious dogma...

now that's funny...let me remind the conservatives that without the Constitution, without the First Amendment, they wouldn't be able to preach all that religious baloney..... besides some of the Founding Fathers had  kids with mistresses...Thomas Jefferson had Sally Hemmings as a sex slave! he owned her

but where do conservatives go when they run out of ideas? to Wendy's radio station, that's where! Ex City Council weirdo Dale Francisco has a show on AM 1290 and he's now under Wendy's control..she owns him

now, vaccines aren't 100% effective but I got a shot when I was a kid..measles and I think we drank the polio Kool Aid and if you went to Europe you got shots and boosters so vaccines aren't a big deal and may be an insurance policy...if you want it then get it and ignore the anti-vax nuts

but whatever you do, know that you're in my thoughts and prayers
