THIS POST IS BROUGHT TO YOU AS A PUBLIC SERVICE BY THE G.O.F.A.
(GRUMPY OLD FARTS OF AMERICA)
No post of any substance today. My beloved child bride and I are going to witness the Winnebago Middle School 7th graders as they gird their loins to do battle this morning. It’s become one of the great joys of my life.

TO ALL LURKERS: IF YOU SKIP EVERYTHING ELSE, PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO THE PAUL HARVEY VIDEO AT THE END OF THE COMMENTS. YOU’LL THANK YOURSELF
It as a tough call. It’s Friday. Sometimes I post good/silly/offbeat stuff. Other times I mix fun with political bloodsport. I decided to do a mostly non-politically-correct thing. I have a feeling a lot of the lurkers here just check out the headers anyway.
We have some food-related stuff today.
Terrible Woman Berating Food Staff Meets Instant Justice
This video will infuriate you until the very end
WATCH AS KARMA COMES UPSIDE THIS WOMAN’S SKULL
In a video uploaded to YouTube on Thursday, an irate woman was captured hurling insults at restaurant workers who had the audacity to put green peppers on a meal for kids who “don’t eat green things!”
“If you want to be polite to the customer, then you speak English,” barks the impolite customer. “My kids don’t eat green things, they eat red peppers!”
When the workers, who remain calm throughout the video, offer to make a new meal, the woman calmly reminds them that “I DON’T HAVE 15 MINUTES!”
DW AND I WATCH A LOT OF THE FOOD NETWORK. THERE WERE RUMORS THAT SUPER CHEF BOBBY FLAY WAS GETTING A DIVORCE FROM HIS WIFE, STEPHANIE MARCH, AT ABOUT THE TIME HE WAS MESSING WITH ANOTHER TV HOST, GIADA DeLAURENTIS. ALL I KNOW IS THESE PEOPLE MAKE A HELL OF A LOT OF MONEY.
Giada De Laurentiis Is Officially Divorced… and It Was Expensive
TMZ has obtained a copy of the final divorce judgment, which orders Giada to pay Todd $9K a month in child support. Todd also gets their $3.2 million house in Pacific Palisades and $300,000 in art and furnishings. He also gets to keep his membership in the swanky Bel-Air Bay Club, which overlooks the Pacific.
They’re dividing up various bank accounts, with a total balance north of $2 million.
And of course, he gets to keep his Porsche and she gets to keep hers.
No one’s getting spousal support, because they’re both rich. His estimated worth is $15 million… hers is $20 million.

One would think that in more than 4 1/2 years of poring over a multitude of news sources plumbing the depths of human depravity that one would be inured to almost anything. Most times, such is the case. But sometimes the further one goes the worse it seems to get. Some of today’s outrages include but not exclusively are:
Gwen Ifill (who actually moderated a presidential debate) mocking Benjamin Netenyahu
Barbara Mikulski committing to be the 37th vote to insure Barry gets his Iran deal
Black Baltimore judge decides six cops will be tried seperately so racist DA can showboat
Hillary webmaster will plead the 5th rather than testify before Congress
Syrian refugees stopped at Hungarian border
Obama dances with the natives
Policewoman in uniform refused service at Arbys by dreadlocked nigga – claims it “was a joke”
Kerry promises Saudis, Israelis money after he sold them out for a chance at a Nobel prize and Barry’s ‘legacy’
Teenaged male crossdresser uses girls’ bathroom; hundreds walk out in protest
I haven’t scanned the web for a few hours so who knows what else I find.

Just kidding. May they burn in hell. I got a letter from them saying we had one or more set-top boxes that had to be replaced because they were going to some different kind of crap by Oct.6. The box on my set is only a couple months old so when I checked we only needed one for DWs TV. I have always insisted that one secret to a happy marriage is two TVs at opposite ends of the house.
I had to get a different box a few months ago when I finally broke down and replaced my old SDTV with a flat screen. Fortunately my stepson knows how to connect all this stuff. We both have (wait for it) a VHS/DVD player attatched to our sets. Her VHS recorder gave up the ghost years ago so I added DVR service to hers. Best ten bucks I ever invested.
When I took my old box to the Comcast office I had to take a number. There were 19 people ahead of me. There was a young Hispanic girl doing traffic control or something. There were plenty of illegals there so my guess is she was primarily an interpreter. I axed her about getting a new box for my other set. She had no clue. She guesed I had to disconnect the old box, drive 15 miles to the south end of town, and exchange it. I assured her that wasn’t gonna happen.
I ordered the new box through the mail and it arrived UPS a couple days ago. My beloved child bride insisted that I call and make sure this box had the DVR function, since it didn’t indicate so anywhere on the unit. I called and talked to some dude in Calcutta or New Delhi or someplace who was very difficult to understand. He told me to very much find the number on the back of the box thank you so much. After I gave it to him there was a long silence. Normally what they do when they can’t to get rid of you is put you on hold and walk away for an hour. When he came back he assured me it was a DVR unit. Was there anything else he could helping me with today?
Yeah,why did my bill jump $20 this month for no reason?
Have a pleasant day, sir, and thanking you for calling Comcast.
Son is coming over at some point today to hook it up. He loves his mama. I’m betting the dothead lied to me just to get rid of me. We’ll see soon enough.

There are hundreds of websites you can visit and get news and commentary by people far more educated and eloquent than I am. Whenever possible I try to do things a little different. Whatever the subject I try to make it as interesting and entertaining as possible.
The weather will be getting cooler soon and the fall ‘turnover’ will occur. Turnover is when the warmer water near the surface sinks and the colder water rises. In essence, turning over. This is the way fish instinctively know colder weather is coming and they feed more aggressively because their systems slow down in winter. The layer of water between the warm and cold water is known as a thermocline. This column is where most fish can be found this time of year. An electronic device which can detect depth and temperature is most helpful. Having all the newest technology at your fingertips is helpful, but at the end of the day you still have to rely on the fishes’ willingness to take a bait, which can be nigh on to impossible at times. Been there, done that.
I’VE CAUGHT MANY OF THESE. THEY ARE NOTHING TO MESS WITH.
Mystery surrounding neon-green pike appears to have been solved
Somewhere in northern Canada’s Great Slave Lake is a fluorescent-green pike that looks as though it’s wearing neon-green lipstick.
The bizarre-looking fish was released after being caught by Yellowknife angler Randy Straker, during a recent outing with Craig Thomas.
Northern pike, also referred to as jackfish, are typically much darker, with a brownish or olive-green complexion, and with yellowish-white bellies.
The 12- to 14-pound pike reeled in by Straker, an avid Great Slave Lake angler, “was totally, head to tail, like nothing we’d ever seen before.”

The Lord blessed me with the most awesome tech guy EVAH!
First it was the Windows 10 fiasco. A day later a window pops up from CC Cleaner, which is already installed and says: ‘Do you want this program to make changes to your computer?’ I thought it was an upgrade. Turns out a bunch of crap was imported to the point every website I went to had a window pop up saying my PC was infected. In a state of panic, I called my guy Friday morning about 8. He called me back at 11:30 and I explained my situation. He said he’d go in and fix it. I went to lunch with Randy and by the time I got back everything was back to normal. This may not seem like a big deal to people who know computers. Understand, I’m a retard when it comes to this stuff. My guy lives 30 miles away and I’ve never met him. He does his magic through a program that allows him to link to my machine and work on it as if he were here. This allows him to run scans and do things without having to sit here.
Being partially disabled I don’t have much of a life without my PC except for delivering papers and watching my grandchildren. We have few friends and there’s not much I can do physically outside the home. This blog is a big part of what keeps me going. When the computer is not working properly I’m not fit to live with. My guy lets me pay what I can, when I can. Having a friend like that….priceless.

The shining monument to greed, avarice, corruption, hypocrisy, pomposity, treachery, tyranny and sophistry still stands in our nation’s capitol. We will deal with it in the fullness of time.
As I sat last Saturday, watching my grandson and his teammates on the Winnebago Indian Junior Tackle squad do battle with the Oregon Hawks, I couldn’t help but muse how fortunate these young people were. They have the support of moms, dads, siblings, grandparents and friends. Parents pay for their uniforms and equipment, make sure they make it to practice and to games and usually some family time afterwards. All the kids have to worry about is having a good time, listening and learning from their coaches, and practicing good sportsmanship. Coming from a small town they’ve yet to be touched by racial hatred. They still have time for video games, texting and such, but they have no concerns about the burdens and responsibilities they’ll face as adults. They will never be this young, this energetic, this carefree ever again and it will be a long time before they look back and remember these days fondly. How I envy them.

My tech guy had recommended to me to install the new Microsoft platform Windows 10. I tried several times on Thursday without success. He did it by remote Thursday evening and I finished the task early Friday morning. It took less than two nanoseconds to realize what a disaster it was. Yahoo would not install as my home page, my list of bookmarks had disappeared, there were no commands when I right clicked on my mouse (copy, past, delete, etc.) and the only game I play online (a lot) is Solitaire. It wound up in an app with hundreds of other games you could not play unless you had a Microsoft account to log in with. I frantically called my guy who finally returned my call. You can recover your old Windows within the first thirty days. After that you’re stuck. Doing a normal system restore point won’t work because it won’t allow it.
DW has been visiting her dad since Thursday morning and she’s coming home today. She knows even less than I do about computers. She checks her e-mail once in a while but basically she uses IE to check her Facebook page to keep in touch with her family, which are scattered around the country. If she had to log in every time she used it she would be very unhappy. You wouldn’t want to see her when she’s unhappy. I came back from a Friday lunch date over clam chowder with my fishing partner and my guy had my machine back to normal.
Everything is touted as “new” and “improved.” Such is not always the case.

It’s pretty much the same as it’s always been. Kids all excited to get back to class, seeing their friends after a summer of adventure. It’s a whole lot different than when most of us went to school. We had archaic instruments like rulers, protractors, and compasses (those things you clamped a pencil in and twirled to make circles.) We learned about something called penmanship, we used paper and pencil to diagram sentences (remember those?) and multiplied and did long division and you had to SHOW YOUR WORK!
It’s so much different nowadays when everything is electronic. Can any of these little darlings do math without a calculator? Use their smart phone to spell check?
The principle at our grade school was a family friend and Granny would march me to his office the first day every year and grant permission for Mr. Larkin to warm my behind if I misbehaved. Of course, back then kids had respect for teachers, didn’t try to assault them, and most of them finished high school without getting pregnant. If a girl did, she was taken out of school because her family was shamed. Now they have daycare classes for the 14-15 year olds who are already mothers.
I continue to pray for our country with the future in the hands of these little critters.
All the grandkids went back yesterday: RJ is in 7th and big sis is in 9th…HIGH SCHOOL! Daughter called me the other night having a mortality crisis. I assured her it never gets any easier.

Author Defends Black Lives Matter Textbook for White 6th Graders
I SHUDDER TO THINK OF WHAT THE PROGS HAVE WROUGHT
ABDO, a Minnesota-based book publisher, is set to release a middle school textbook written by Professor Duchess Harris and Sue Bradford Edwards about the anti-police movement Black Lives Matter.
The ABDO Publishing website, describing the 112-page Black Lives Matter textbook, says, “Black Lives Matter covers the shootings that touched off passionate protests, the work of activists to bring about a more just legal system, and the tensions in US society that these events have brought to light.”
In a recent appearance on Fox and Friends Weekend, Radio host Larry Elder said the Black Lives Matter textbook is about “indoctrinating children to believe that that black people are victims and white people should feel guilty about it.”

To be clear, I trust Donald Trump about as far as I can pick him up and throw him. Still,you have to enjoy the way he stands up to the media thugs that always seem to intimidate faux conservatives into aplogizing if they have the temerity to speak truth to power; e.g. Trent Lott’s comments at Strom Thurmond’s birthday party and Romney stating that 47% of welfare leeches vote democrat. They were forced to apologize ad nauseum, much to the sadistic delight of the leftards.
Trump doesn’t play their game. That’s a very large part of his appeal…. finally somebody who won’t kiss the media’s collective asses. There was a minor skirmish at the presser following the rally in Dubuque, Iowa yesterday. Unlike the phony “Sister Souljah” setup orchestrated for Bent Penis to look tough, the animosity between Trump and the Cockroach appears genuine.
Ann Coulter introduced him at the rally:
THE DONALD’S FULL SPEECH
‘Go back to Univision’: Trump loses it as he goes head to-head over immigration with Spanish-language anchor Jorge Ramos and has him escorted out of Iowa press conference
Univision’s Jorge Ramos spoke out of turn at conference in Dubuque, Iowa
Trump told journalist: ‘Sit down, you weren’t called… Go back to Univision’
Security escorted Ramos from the room but he was allowed to return
Trump took his questions about immigration policy and anchor babies
Univision didn’t show Miss USA pageant after comments about Mexicans
Trump previously banned Univision staff from Trump National Doral Miami
Said ‘anyone who wants strong borders’ should boycott network in protest
Previously published note showing personal phone number of Ramos
THIS IS HOW YOU HANDLE LIBERAL ASSCLOWNS
DIANNY NAILED THE SIMILARITY TO ANOTHER LIBERAL PUDDLE OF OBNOXIOUS BILE:
The Medea Benjamin of Television
Posted on August 26, 2015 by Dianny
Proving he is about as much a “journalist” as Code Pink, Latino Television personality Jorge Ramos crashed Donald Trump’s Iowa press conference yesterday and shouted questions at him as Trump attempted to call on reporters.
The Medea Benjamin of television was promptly escorted from the room for refusing to wait until Trump called on him.
Let’s face it, Jorge Ramos isn’t a journalist. He’s an activist and protester.
When Ramos sneaked back into the press conference, Trump finally let him ask a question and attempted to answer. But Ramos, like Code Pink, believes that you don’t ask questions and wait for answers. Instead, you just keep talking over the person you’ve just asked a question to.
Because Ramos isn’t a “journalist.” He isn’t a “reporter.” He is an open borders activist with a TV show.
He is the Leading member of Code Red-White-and-Green.

IS THERE ANY VIDEO?
OH, THOU OF LITTLE FAITH!
ROUND ONE
THE CHALLENGER CAME BACK FOR ROUND TWO, BUT QUICKLY HIT THE CANVAS
AS ALWAYS, THERE’S AN ULTERIOR MOTIVE TO THEIR IDEAOLOGY
Stunner: Jorge Ramos’s Daughter Works for Hillary Campaign – Supported Obama
SURPRISE!
“As journalists the most important thing we have is our credibility and integrity. We maintain that, in part, through transparency with our audience, our colleagues and our critics. That is why I am disclosing that my daughter, Paola, has accepted a position working with Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.”
CREDIBILITY? INTEGRITY? WTF???
Stunner: Jorge Ramos’s Daughter Works for Hillary Campaign – Supported Obama
MEANWHILE, BACK AT MSDNC, BIMBO TELLS PISSY CHRISSY SHE SUFFERED THE VAPORS AFTER SEEING A FELLOW LEFTIST THUG GET PIMP-SLAPPED IN SUCH A RUDE MANNER. (IMAGINE…A REPUBLICAN THAT HITS BACK!)
