Monday OYSTERS

Quote of the day (Courtesy of my number 3 girl):
Suffering is like a pile of rocks. You can choose to carry the load, throw them at other people, let them lay there or use them to build an altar.”

Chad had a liver transplant with his brother as the donor. Chad lived but his brother died of complications. That is a burden, my friends. By the way, a human can easily survive with only half of their liver intact.

In my opinion there will be several things that will happen because of the attacks in Paris.

It went a long way toward the election of Donald Trump as President of the USA.

It shows how impotent our lame-ass President and irresponsible Hilary Clinton is...remember allowing our undefended Ambassadors and entourage to Benghazi to be killed by Islamic terrorists...it just encouraged them.

It will shut up the anti gun activists. Paris is a gun free zone...except for the terrorists...gun free zones my ass.

It should make our politicians think twice about taking Syrian refugees into America because one of the terrorist was a Syrian refugee.

Before WWI US General John “Black Jack” Pershing was passing through Palestine and his troops were attacked by Arab terrorists. Pershing sent a group of his soldiers looking for them and allowed his soldiers to used whatever means necessary to find them...and they did not have water boarding back then. They indeed found them and brought them back. Pershing had them covered with pig blood, executed by firing squad and buried with the slaughtered pigs. According to their religion they will not go to heaven and get their virgins because they would be “unclean”. Pershing had no more attacks. This story came to me many years ago but it make sense to attack them through their religion...that is their weakness. By the way, I don't want a virgin...at my age skill level goes a long way.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Those days of the year between Thanksgiving and New Years Eve will be referred to by me as the CHRISTMAS Season and personally I don't give a damn what our lame-ass President thinks is proper. I don't care what Starbucks has as decorations on their cups either, it does not change what is in my heart and mind and it shouldn't change yours. By the way, the founder of Starbucks was Jewish.

Without doing one iota of research several people relayed the rumor that Carly Fiorina made her fortune because she is Jewish. Here is what her official bio says:

Her maiden name is Sneed. She was born in Austin, Texas to an Episcopalian family. Her grandparents ran a cattle ranch near Calvert, Texas. Her father Joseph worked on his uncle's ranch until he was 18 and then went to and graduated from law school at the University of Texas (Hook 'em Horns, come back Charlie Strong). He worked for the state attorney general's office until finally being appointed to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals where he served for over 30 years. He was married to a woman named Madelon Juergens born in Butler county, Ohio. Madelon's father was born in Covington, Kentucky. She was a successful artist, both modern and abstract and was Carly's mother. Madelon died in 1998 at the age of 77. Carly had a normal childhood and adolescence. Her higher education was a bachelors degree from Stanford, an MBA from the University of Maryland and a Masters degree from M.I.T.   Carly entered the business world as a trainee with AT&T and eventually worked her way to an executive Vice-President. She was made President of Lucent Technologies when is was spun off by AT&T. She made the majority of her fortune when she was paid in part by stock options from these companies and it was she that engineered the merger of Compaq with Hewlett-Packard when she was the CEO. They paid her with stock options also and these and her previous stock options made her wealthy. She was not given anything by her family except help with education. But what if she was Jewish? What difference does that make? To all of you Jew haters...kiss my ass, we have enough hatred already and you don't know what the hell you are talking about anyway. Correct information does not come to you by osmosis, you have to read about it...read, remember? It is the solution to stop people from laughing about you behind your back because you are so ignorant. By the way, Carly belongs to a non-denominational church these days. The trouble I see with those people with small minds passing rumors is that they are very jealous of someone that is light years smarter and more successful than they, especially a woman in the business world. I feel better now.

   This Date in History  November 16

1863 After the Confederate defeat at Gettysburg, CSA General Robert E. Lee sent CSA General James Longstreet and two divisions to assist the beleaguered CSA General Braxton Bragg in his campaign in the area of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Longstreet and his troops had arrived in the nick of time at the Battle of Chickamauga to ensure a Confederate victory. The Confederates had the Union army in the middle of a semi-circle which prevented any supplies from reaching them. A surprise attack by the Union army opened the way for supplies to reach them by river boat. Longstreet and Bragg argued much of the time about tactic and strategy but since Bragg was in command, he prevailed. Bragg was acknowledged to be the most inept commanding General on either side. It cost the Confederacy the lives of thousands of brave men.

1957 On this day one of the worst monsters in American history, Edward Gein, killed his final victim. He killed Bernice Worden in Plainfield, Wisconsin. This man would dig up corpses of women, have sex with them and eat parts of their bodies at times. After the death of Bernice the police became suspicious of Gein because of his unusual behavior. He had been extremely dominated by his mother and when she died in 1945, he began studying anatomy and became fascinated by the human body, especially female. Even though he was a quiet and unassuming farmer, a monster lurked beneath. The police obtained a search warrant for his house. What they found was a scene from hell. The fridge was full of human organs. There was a human heart on the stove roasting and human limbs scattered about. He had soup bowls made of human skulls and had chairs upholstered in human skins. It is this character that was the inspiration for Hannibal Lechter and Buffalo Bill in the movie “Silence of the Lambs”. Gein was properly judged to be crazy as a loon and was sent to the Wisconsin Asylum for the Criminally Insane where he died in 1984.

1849 On this day Russian author Fedor Dostoevsky is sentence to be executed by firing squad. He was accused of belonging to an anti-government extremist group and indeed he was. He delivered to us some of the greatest novels ever written the first success was the immortal Crime and Punishment. As he was being tied to a post to be shot, a reprieve arrived and he was sent to a labor camp in Siberia for four years. After leaving the labor camp he began writing once again and gave us Possessed which was successful. But in 1880 he gave us his masterpiece in The Brothers Karamazov that was an immediate success. He never was able to reap the fruits of his talent because he died a year later.
