Do you know what software this blog is running? There has to be a way to issue a visual challenge to avoid spam, instead of your current method.

Those of you who look to Ole Bob for Wisdom have a serious problem. That problem has a name:

Bob

Al assumes that I know about computers.

Thanks, Al.

Let me disillusion you. This whole whitakeronline was set up by a succession of brilliant people, each of whem was a computer expert and each of whom decided I had a lot to say. So far, so good. In fact, so far so flattering. They convinced me that I was not just an old guy raising hell but a peson who has wisdom to impart.

The downside of this is that, in the real world, when I have any problem with whitakeronline I call Kelso who then calls my former team in Tennessee. This whole thing is so complicated by now that I am afraid to touch it.

I could get you in touch with Kelso and you two could work out something to stop the spam.

This sounds dependent, doesn’t it?

I can give everybody a good lesson here. I spent my career in management. Another word for management is “dependency.” A good manager is someone who says, up front, that he can’t do it all. He makes it perfectly clear to the people he depends on that they are the essentials.

I would be happy to get you in touch with Kelso. You two could do the job. I can’t.

Bob is not a tough guy. Bob needs your help.

Pathetic, isn’t it?

Being least subject to self-deception, the most moral take offense earlier. Accordingly, our souls find a voice for racial loyality. Its audibility day by day grows amongst us all.

Therefore, mistake not that these despairing and complaining surrenderings to the world. They are nothing more than the stirrings of emotional offense at the trepidations upon us.

I needed that reminder. We are dealing with two absolutely different groups here.

The ones I keep wishing would go jump off a very high ledge are the old guys who are STILL doing nothing but saying, “We are so good and so weak. The Evil Ones are Wise and powerful. I am Tough. I would have fought to the end. But it is all HOPELESS because everyone but me is weak and lacks virtue.”

But Dave reminds me of an entirely different group.

You won’t believe this, but I was young once, too. I was young and I saw how the older people, the Greatest Generation, were giving away everything I cared about. It took me YEARS to accept the fact that things are so incredibly bad. It was an agonizing period, and I am STILL realizing it.

So a person like LibAnon may not be young, but he is still in the midst of this grieving process. As Dave points out, this grieving process is something all of us must go through. Needless to say, I am impatient with it because I went through it so long ago.

You are nbot dealing with a Great Philosopher here. All you have is Ole Bob. But on the plus side, you have an Ole Bob who has no time for Great Philosophers. All I ask is that you don’t be a damned fool.

None of which protects ME rom being a damned fool.

Over and over and over and over ad nauseum.

I must leave time for the grieving process. People are going to grieve for their own.

But AFTER the grieving process I do not want people to KEEP grieving over the loss of our kin. I want them to say, “I am going to KILL hte son of a bitch who DID this!”

OK, Dave, I will do my best to give them a reasonable time to feel their loss.

But, Dave ole buddy, once that period is over, I’m going to hand them a friggin’ RIFLE!

I was just talking to my older son, who I don’t get to talk to very often. The subject of Mel Gibson and TV came up. He said “they are just trying to get him for making that movie” and “a lot of people aren’t buying it anymore.” Yes, things are changing.

You really hit on something here.

The Voices of Doom on our side are always quoting the media. The LAST thing the media are going to report are attitudes like your son’s. Another point I will keep repeating after it makes you gag is that if young people today KNEW what today’s Political Coorectness is based on, if they ever SAW the unmitigated crap people BELIEVED forty years ago, they would laugh themselves silly.

The only thing that prevents young people from hearing this is that all we talk about is the latest news. They could be converted by this perspective, but we never USE perspective. The latest scoop from Iraq is the worst problem we have.

Joe Rorke just said something GOOD about me!

The only time Joe might do that is if he discovered that I have a fatal disease I don’t know about.

I just want simple funeral service, gang.

Yo, Bob, have you noticed how things are really picking up on this blog? Of course you have. I don’t know how you can keep up with it. Kinda reminds me of that first meeting with the Fellowship I told you about. Very little activity when I first went in. Then, after a time, you couldn’t keep them out of the meeting house. Things are looking good here, Bob.
