Gone Fishin

OK so blogging is fun but Bass Fishin with my new fishin buddy Sam, now that's good living!

Hat Tip: Mark

Don't I wish that was my fishin buddy? Nope plenty of work to go around here. I have however saved up quite a few links for you guys.

Bill Kristol makes a lot of sense he upset the left this week with this.

The Weekly Standard: No reasonable American, no decent human being, wants to send up a white flag in the war on terror. But leading spokesmen for American liberalism-hostile beyond reason to the Bush administration, and ready to believe the worst about American public servants-seem to have concluded that the terror threat is mostly imaginary. It is the threat to civil liberties from George W. Bush that is the real danger.

Huh they must have been so upset because he was right. Here let me help you.

Washington Times:I think when you suggest that civil liberties are just as much at risk today as the country is from terrorism, you've gone too far if you leave that impression. I don't believe that's true," said Michael O'Hanlon, a national-security analyst at the Brookings Institution who advises Democrats on defense issues.

Hmm right again. Does the left ever listen to their own good advice?

I'll make the rest of these short and sweet but that does not mean you don't have to read them. Now hop to it.

Al-Qaeda in Gaza.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't so which is it. Are we being over protected of under.

Totten Tours Libya. Just read it.

8 lives left.

Good day Captain.

Oh yeah and yeserday I got a belated gift of twelve months of National Geographic. I've not had a subscription for years but it's still the same and the photos are fantastic as usual. I'll finish reading it and see what interesting tidbits of useful info I can get. Subjects this month include various episodes of genocide and Iraqi Kurdistan. Thanks to my Mom who knows I can't resist reading.


Right Wing Sparkle gives us a link to her take on the Kurd article which I read last night.


Dear Howie Dear Howie,

When I finally retired, I could hardly wait to spend time enjoying my favorite pastime -- bass fishing. I got my own little fishing boat and tried to get my wife to join me, but she just never liked fishing. Finally, one day at the Bait & Tackle Shop, I got to talking to Sam the shop owner who it turned out loves bass fishing as much as I do. We quickly became fishing buddies. As I said the wife doesn't care about fishing; she not only refuses to join us she always complains that I spend too much time fishing.


A few weeks ago Sam and I had the best fishing trip ever. Not only did I catch the most beautiful bass you've ever seen, only a few minutes later Sam must have caught his twin brother! So I took a picture of Sam holding up the two nice bass that we caught and showed the picture to the wife hoping that maybe she'd get interested. Instead she says she doesn't want me to go fishing at all anymore! And she wants me to sell the boat! I think she just doesn't like to see me enjoying myself.

What would you do? Tell the wife to forget it and continue my hobby or quit fishing and sell the boat as she insists?


Thanks, A fisherman

PS I have enclosed the picture of Sam showing off the bass we caught.


Dear Reader Dear reader you have no complaint.
You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't
Get rid of that narrow minded wife
Then go buy old sam a new fillet knife.

1 I LOVE the National Geographic! The articles on the Kurds are great. Here is my take on the articles from a few days ago: http://rightwingsparkle.blogspot.com/2005/12/courage-of-kurds_27.html

2 I always had a subscription as a youngster. In fact I still have them including the original blue eyed Afghan girl cover pic. So I liked the gift adnd look forward to reading it this year. The host on explorer (NPR) is such a lefty. But for any person especially young people the magazine is great.

3 That's one of those optical illusion pictures isn't it? I stared at it for about ten minutes and eventually saw that she was holding two fish, which werent readily apparent at first glance.

8 Agent Smith says that are a favorite dish, but without the money, fish is just a wish.

9 Totten's piece on Lybia is amazing. I read every word. Even though it ended on a good note, I'll still have to scratch it off my list of places to visit.

10 Oyster yes it's a long piece but I too was able to get it read. I would still like to see the Roman parts of Tripoli but doubt that will ever happen. Hard to imagine a city that once had the lighthouse that was one of the eight wonders of the ancient world is so far behind now.

11 Holy cow!....I have to go bass fishing.
