Whoa! Car alarms just went off ...
I'm sitting here typing when a thunderclap went off right overhead. Windows rattled, dogs started howling.
Eric and I got back from Pismo yesterday. About the time we went over the hill and dropped down into the Thousand Oaks area on the 101 the sky opened up and the traffic ground down to crawl.
And it was that way all through the Valley, didn't really open up until Glendale. (and I shouldn't have had that second cup of coffee along the way...)
We got home to a lively house. Erin, the twins and Jenn were here. Siobhan came home from school and presented us with her third college acceptance package from her list of applications. Heather was rushing off to work.
I'm glad we had a few days of calm!
As you can see, I captured a view or two of Pismo featuring the green hills as well as the breeze lifting spray from the waves. One of the things Pismo is famous for is clamming and you can see what a wonderful environment those clams have with the wide beach. Course, as a clammer you have to compete with the otters! We enjoyed watching them frolic as we had breakfast each morning.
And almost as omnipresent as the otters are the surfers. From sunup to sundown, there wasn't a time I couldn't look out from the balconey and not see surfers.
Interestingly, too, was a good many of the guests at our hotel had British accents. I suppose a winter trip from England to California has a great deal of appeal, even when the weather is cool and moist by California standards.
All in all, a fun time, though too short. I adore the Central Coast and all along it has been a destination of choice for short, re-energizing getaways for us. If you ever have the chance to indulge, do so, there is a myriad of little towns along the coast, each with their own charm.
And no, Schwartenegger is not sending me a check for this.

I've been reading your clueless posts over at little green muslim haters, and I must say that you're about the dumbest biotch I've come across on the web in a long, long time. I don't even know where to start in correcting your stupidity, so I won't even fucking try. Have fun in your little world honey. BTW...thanks for the laughs.

"fer the luv of God ... WHAT escort services?
He registered DOMAIN NAMES. Period. No webpage, no content, NO SERVICES."
Guess you missed the customer reviews on Jeff's website. These are the facts ma'am: Jeff fucked men for money. These men then wrote reviews that Jeff posted on his website. These reviews went into explicit detail about various sex acts Jeff performed as part of his services. Best part, "He's a kisser!!" Whoo hoo!

And what Gannon did in his personal life is supposed to bother me, how?
And this is different from Wonkette and her back-door obsessed "friend" who did "it" for money, how?
Look, koskiddie, lurk all you want. I'm still trying to figure out if you wallowing in an act of guilt by being so titillated by Gannon you've decided to expunge the guilt by channeling Fred Phelps.
Go ahead and search my archives. I don't judge people as "authentic" [gay/black/female/Latino] based on their political ideology.
The 70's is not my bag, dude.

Hey biotch:
Here's Jeff 'Bulldog' Gannon's review.
BTW...your hero Charles Johnson is a twink. Nobody has bothered to out him yet because he's NOT THAT IMPORTANT. Drudge is another story. He's getting it next. The evil left is outing all Karl Rove's evil little gayboy dirtytricksters. One by one. These outings will be in the news for months. ENJOY!

Darleen,
Glad you're enjoying the vacation. The California coast IS gorgeous. Although I've never spent time on that particular part, I did stay in Monterrey for 8 months in another decade long ago.
BTW, "The Invasion of the Trolls" was not a particularly well-written or intelligently thought out script. Absence of good taste, one could say.

Hey Tom, you're a "bottom", right? We're hiring again.

Hi Karl,
Actually I'm a top (hence 'Top McReporter'). Darleen (RIF) misrepresented my nick as 'Tom.' Now bend over biotch.

Hello Darleen, i am pretty shocked to see the way Americans communicate. Someone in here called you a "****" ( i'd better not repeat it), is this the way to discuss Topics in a serious and mature way?
On the Website where you commented on a statement of mine i had finally been censored - i cannot answer to your comment any more. "Redstate", where you wrote, is my first "excursion" to an American Forum Website. America is a country which boasts with "Free Speech" - in Europe, however, you can say what you want, i have never been censored there. So what does "Free Speech" mean - Free Speech only to some?
On this Website where you wrote, where apparently there IS no "Free Speech", when you tell people the truth they don't want to hear, i suggested that we (Europe and North America) stop interfering in the Middle East. This is not our Soil, neither mine nor yours. We have no right in interfering there, and even if we had to, i wonder if we should not be very very careful. Violence produces More Violence, America started humiliating Iraq - everybody saw how America tortured in Iraq - and are we surprised they react with the same violence?
I am really shocked about your words on Redstate website. I mentioned the fact that they are very religious, and to them even a woman's unveiled face is a "sin". So are you surprised, they think we must be sinners, if they see the Reality of an American City with Peep Shows, Hookers, Pornographic Cinema, Violence, Nude People on TV, shootings? We have no right to obtrude our western culture on to them , we have our culture, and they have theirs. They are Muslims, we are Christians. Both is OK, everybody has the right to chose his/her religion. We have no right to think they should do as we do. That is my basic point.
And i was very surprised to find you answering to this with my point "producing a mentality of only following orders". This doesnt make sense. Do i sound like i was going to obey orders, if anyone told me to invade another country? Please stay honest, and don't turn the truth around. Those of your people who are in Iraq, in Brief: Invaders - are certainly not those who disobey orders, are they? Otherwise they would be called "Consciencous Objector", which i guess is not really the term applicable to any american Soldier in Iraq. I am a consciencous Objector since 1981, and in some countries you go to prison for that, or you get hanged. So please don't try to make me look as if it was me, following order. By doing that, you spit on the graves of some other consciencous objectors who died for their believes, and i wonder who gave you the right to do that. To be honest, i wouldnt dare such an insult as you did.
When i am calling for the WEstern Nations - Europe & North America - to respect other people's rights, you think that was "following orders" ? This doesnt make any sense at all, what you are sayging, Madame. I am sorry, to my point of view it's those people who join a war who follow orders - not those who refuse to kill.
Anyway, as i have found out pretty quickly what "Free Speech" in America means - it means, you can say what you like as long as it pleases the ruling people - i dont think i need to be insulted any more by people who write arrogant comments about Dresden, etc. without being able
to find this place on the map at all. The insulting style,the loud-mouthed Assertions of people who judge about places they have never been to, not even have read a single page in a book about it - all this is really not "my thang". I am sorry, i am pretty disappointed by America, and their "Free Speech". But what is more concerning, is the fact that this happens not only on your websites, but i supposedon the whole media sector is structured similar in America: people in your country probably get only a selected information, which leads them to the conclusion that America can only be free when she drops bombs on countries
much smaller and much weaker then they are, countries which broke and which are 100 000 miles away.
Anyway, in a Nation that was really free, you would not need censoreship.
But, anyway: Please stop insulting me. I am not "obeing orders" as you reproached me for, please don't try to turn the truth around. The Perpetratos are those, who start a war , when they know they could chose a different option. How can those, who refuse orders, "follow" orders? What you are saying doesnt make any sense.
In any case: I hope you are not supporting those who tell you "go to war", and just doing it without questioning their intentions. Because if you do , you must ask yourself the same question you had raised yourself: Who is it really, following those orders? When you don't question those orders for a second?
regards,
Georg C. Winterfeld,
(PS i wonder if this Text will be censored over night, it would not surprise me at all.)
