I don’t know what is causing it but I have one hell of a pain in my back today.   It didn’t affect my ability to go to work or anything but I have been uncomfortable all day.  I managed to finish up all the classroom work for the current class and I have all the practice troubleshooting problems installed so I can now take it easy for the rest of the day and just sit and work on power points. 

Yesterday I made a mistake and watched the Chargers get slaughtered by the New England Patriots.  I live in one of those bandwagon cities where if all is going great the fans flock to the stadium and support the team.  This morning one of the news stations had a poll asking if the Chargers could recover from the defeat and about 70% answered no.  So I guess the bandwagon has stopped for this season and it is still early.

At least they got their butts handed to them and didn’t blow the win like the Oakland Raiders did.  I was in the chat with the fed mates while we were all watching and commenting on the various games we were watching.  I was shocked when the Raiders tied the score with the Broncos and made a few comments.  They were like when do you think they will blow it.  When Janokowski mad the first kick I was shocked, but then when he missed the second one I was not surprised.  After that I knew Denver was going to win.

It was a little depressing to be in the chat while the Chargers were getting killed.  I was catching flack from many fed members that know I live in San Diego, but it was all in fun.  When 8 PM rolled around and I was sure they were not going to make a come back I switched over to the Emmy Awards to watch the Hollywood Idiots pat themselves on the back.

I added a new Idiot to my do not watch list  I figured some know nothing script reader would go totally ballistic at the awards show and start some Anti-Bush stuff or bash the war effort, but it surprised me when the Idiot turned out to be Sally Fields.  She even got beeped out for profanity. 

I wonder why during World War II Hollywood actors made films supporting the war effort or enlisted in the service, but the people there now bash the war effort and the presidency.  I guess it is a sign of the times.  Here we are the most powerful nation on the planet, and the land of freedom that has been gained through that power. 

I wonder what some of the people that were around in World War II think of today’s society.  I am sure they are as shocked as I am.  After Pearl Harbor everyone supported the war effort.  The willing accepted rationing of goods to support the war.  They purchased war bonds to fund it.  There was no shortage of man power to support the war effort because almost every able bodied person joined the military.

More people got killed on 9/11 than were killed at Pearl Harbor.  I don’t understand the lack of patriotism.  If people would have come out during World War II and pulled some of the protesting crap they are pulling now, they would be tarred and feathered.  I don’t understand how people can continue to ignore the problem posed with Radical Islam and the danger we are all in.

Back then they knew the dangers posed by Japan and Germany.  We went to war to keep that stuff from happening in the United States.  We purposely kept the war off our shores to protect those at home.  People knew the importance of it, unlike now.

It is inevitable that we will be hit again.  It will probably be bigger than the 9/11 attacks and it will devastate many areas of the country.

The new appeasement movement which I think came from the druggies of the sixties has basically taken root in our schools, news media, and entertainment venues.  I think everyone has this attitude that since we live in a big country that their town would be spared.  Ah, that stuff happened in New York and Washington.  They won’t hit me in San Francisco.  When a big attack comes that hits several cities at once and devastates the economy, travel, and safety, it will be too late to wake up and say “How did this happen?”   The next attack that they are already bragging about will be much bigger and all the talking head experts I have seen on TV are in agreement in that regard.

So while we continue to allow illegal immigration to run wild, and while the media, schools and entertainment industries keep pushing their left wing peace, love, dope way of life, I will pray that when the time comes my neighborhood will not be a target and that I have enough provisions to keep me and my family safe.

On another note over the weekend a huge fire broke out up near Julian and many people were forced to evacuate for a while.  I guess only one house was lost but over 1000 acres of land was burned and a few fire fighters were injured.  They said it was due to an illegal camp fire and I want to know if the illegal campfire was started by illegal aliens living in the canyons.  The San Diego area has been in a drought and the brush all over the county is dry and ripe for a devastating fire.  In many of these canyons illegal alien camps have been set up and they are just waiting for one of these camps to cause a very big fire.

Well I guess that is it for today.  It is time to get ready for the afternoon edition of work.
