Ha!  I am back with a new podcast, dusted off and back from the grave.  I bet you were thinking there would be no more of my ramblings, or some of you hoping it.  Or you could be one of the 7 listeners that actually sticks it out to the end without turning it off or wanting to stick a gun in your mouth.

At any rate here is a new podcast, just begging for you to listen to a lot of begging.  And I am not really sure what this picture has to do with anything in this post, but the plugin has some strange ideas of things to accompany a post.

Thanks for listening, don’t forget to stay Cantankerous!

-Justin.

PS. I was serious about the feedback, topic ideas and ramblings.  Go and look now at your heart and contribute.

If you have read almost anything on this blog you will have noticed that we have some pretty strong opinions.  Bob just joined us recently because his opinions fit right in with Ralph and I.  Today, we are going to take flight in a new direction.  Podcasting.  There is a very special announcement in this podcast….you have been warned.

Hey Folks, more odd news for you today.  How do you all like the CFBTN? something we should keep?  Let us know in the comments and your opinions will be considered or rejected appropriately.  Let’s get to it shall we?

 

 

Real-world beaming: The risk of avatar and robot crime

Don’t be excited that we can have some virtual interactions and technology is making leaps and bounds, worry about the “possible” bad stuff.  Next Bob will be telling us the government is full of robots and they are going to take over the Presidency soon.  Like the President doesn’t seem like a puppet most of the time anyway.

 

Officer among injured in Bucks Co. head-on crash

This is sure not on my list of “things to do”.  Crashing into a police car is just asking for trouble.  My take, Bartender: You shouldn’t be driving. Driver: Yer not the bosssss of me!  I drive a mercedes!

Well to do fool with alcohol on board thinking he owns the road.  My wife used to get all of these drunk driver accidents in the ER.  Somewhere around 90% of the drunk drivers walk away from the accident with the other car taking all of the damage.  Many people die or are seriously injured by someone who walks away.  Good luck to the Officer they have a tough job and they don’t need drunk idiots slamming into them.

Margaret Thatcher Isn’t Dead Yet

Whew!  I worried about this all week!  And they have a website!  Gotta love the Brits.

Police: Man threw pitchfork at child’s bike, dumped beer on him

Ummmmmm….HUH??????  I thought Pennsylvania was better than this, I guess not.

Is it just me or do things like this actually happen a lot?

Anyway folks, that is the CFBTN for this week.  I would love your suggestions for stories if you have them.  There is a form in the sidebar or you can email me at justin@cantankerousoldcoots.com.

Thanks for reading and thanks to theonion.com and fark.com for being aggregators of some funny stuff.  Have a great weekend.

If you are a long time reader to the Cantankerous Old Coots, you have noticed some changes and tweaks as I have changed it.  Now it is paneled in a lovely wood.  My compatriot Ralph had asked me if I was afraid of termites with this background.

That brings me to this post.  I told him if I saw a termite I would squash the little bastard.  This goes for all vermin in my life.  There will be no quarter given for any spider, ant, crawly thing, rats, mice, snakes, lizards, or cats in my house.  If any of these show up on my blog I am in trouble.

I don’t know how you may feel, but the thoughts of anything in my house that I don’t specifically want there, piss me off.  They don’t even really creep me out, they just piss me off.  Things that lurk around in my space and cause problems are not welcome and they will be obliterated.  Period.

That goes for hackers of my blog and spammers as well.  You have been warned.

Tune in for Ralph’s Earth Day Tribute tomorrow.

Comment freely but at your own risk.

Carry on.

Podcast 3: Gettysburg

 Posted by at 09:36  Podcast

Hello Folks.  Today’s podcast marks another of our countries historical times, the dedication of the battlefield cemetary at Gettysburg, PA by President Lincoln in 1863.  The original address was delivered on November 19th of that year.  I think it is very important to remember many points in our history.  This one, 147 years ago speaks of our continual growth as a nation, and our pursuit of the ideals that were set forth by the Founding Fathers in the Revolutionary War, and sealed in the Constitution of the United States.  The Text of the Gettysburg address follows. [powerpress]

The Gettysburg Address

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom— and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
