How Sister Sarah and Our Belle Michelle and Ralph Reed are Gonna Save the Union from King George III and Barack Obama. And Tiny Tim.

Liss'n, my children and you shall hear
of the midnight ride Sister Sarah took in Boston!


She swung off her Harley and skipped right past the Donald and his cheap New York pizza in order to remind the good people of Boston that Paul Revere was a pretty Rough Rider himself, whilst savin' the Union from those Eastern Elite British High Tax and Spenders:  


"He warned the British that they weren't goin' to be takin' away our arms, by ringin' those bells, and makin' sure, as he's ridin' his horse through town to send those warnin' shots and bells, that we're gonna be secure and we're gonna be free!"


Paul was a common patriot, droppin' his "g"s like a reg'lar American.


It didn't make the video clip but the Boston Globe reported that Sister Sarah also said, “You’ve got to know a lot about our past in order to know how to proceed successfully into the future.’’


Our Belle, on an earlier swing through the Early Primary Season, had already moved the shot heard round the world from Massachusetts to New Hampshire, so she and Tiny Tim Pawlenty were in Washington D.C., which is to the east of Oregon, at a Faith and Freedom Coalition conference organized by Ralph Reed.  You remember Ralph:  he sorta got his evangelical hinder in a sling over some dirty money or something, but time wounds all heels, so he is busy organizing the next president.  


Our Belle, Michele, is reported to have lowered her eyes and prayed for everything, while Tim talked the tough and walked the tough, and all that muscular Christianity stuff.


We are in good hands!  The nation has nothin' to fear but Obama Health Care itself, and the cost of keepin' old people on Medicare and Social Securities.  Somethin' has to give, and it might as well be them!  


Rest Easy, my friends!  Michele is praying for us.  


Me, too.

Friends-- My step-father of 35 years died this morning. His name was Conrad Royksund. He was 86 years old. He was born into poverty on a farm near Puyallup, WA. He was the first member of his family to attend college and earned a PhD from the University of Chicago. He paid his way through all of that by fishing in Alaska. He spent his professional career as a college professor. I met him when I was just 3 years old and don't actually have any memories of my life befor e he was in it. He was intimidatingly smart, funny as hell, and worked his ass off. He taught me to meet people with kindness and decency until I was certain they could not be trusted. He taught me to meet ideas with carving knives until I was certain they could. I will remember him as one of the bravest, most curious, and funniest people I have ever met. He left this world with a satisfied mind. We are so grateful. Dan Hubbard

Caliche Busters and Government Work

When I was young and both stronger and smarter than I am now, I put my might and brain to work doing nothing useful, unless it might be thought that hand/foot/eye coordination might come in handy.  Those were skills to be learned and practiced.   I found an iron bar our grandfather had shaped in his blacksmith shop.  He took old car, truck, or wagon axles, and made tools from them for digging post holes.  He sharpened one end to a tip, and the other to a blade.  Washington State, like many places, had a hard layer of soil, probably created by water and limestone, or some such materials, that made digging holes a miserable chore.  The bar chipped through the natural concrete so that a shovel could take it up.   I found Grandpa's iron bar, and since I was young and dumb and strong--or so I thought--decided to punch a hole down to hardpan and ultimate truth.  I knew how to do that.  Raise the bar vertically with both hands, and then slam in straight down.  On the second try, aimi

The Sea is Rising

Let us just step back:  two hundred and fifty years ago, or so, the ships of England and Spain had drifted onto a whole new continent, as they saw it, from far north to a savagely cold south; pole to pole, as if there were such things. Millions of people already lived here, some of them still hunters and gatherers; some of them very wealthy, indeed!  Gold and silver stolen from the southern Americas funded Spanish and English dreams. There was land, lots of land, under starry skies above, rich land, and oil and coal and iron ore.  The whole western world learned how to build industries not on simple muscle power, but on steam and oil.  We farmed, too, of course.  All we needed was cheap labor--slave labor from Africa, mostly, so the ships came with slave labor.  Chinese labor built railroad beds where there had been rock cliffs. Europeans, long used to killing each other for good, religious reasons, brought their religious savagery with them.  Even when all they wanted to do w
