Displaying 1,711 To 1,740 Of 4,429 Comments Has anyone mentioned the Heart Attack Grill – 8,000 calorie meals and people over 350lbs eat for free! http://www.heartattackgrill.com/ Oh, just discovered this tidbit – Glenn Beck will be in Phoenix this weekend for his ‘American Revival Tour’ – As you may have read in Feathered Bastard yesterday, the weather this weekend may be a little wet. Sure, the sun will be out, but a Glenn Beck tear storm is projected all day Saturday. Fox News’ resident cry-baby will be in Phoenix this weekend as part of his “American Revival Tour,” and the one thing the bulgy Beck seems most interested in doing is plopping his piggly ass down at the Heart Attack Grill for a Quadruple Bypass Burger. On Beck’s radio show today, a caller alerted the seemingly swollen Beck to the Valley hot-spot, and the idea of a restaurant devoted to promoting health problems seemed to captivate him. “Their fries are cooked in lard,” Beck said in amazement. “Can we go tonight?” Go there tonight? Glenn, with your heart apparently workin’ overtime already, we say go there every night. http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/valleyfever/2010/04/glenn_becks_coming_to_phoenix.php » Posted By javaz On April 8, 2010 @ 6:24 pm Khirad, there is a trading post – the real deal – on the way to Canyon De Chelly – and you must stop there. The actual trading post sells a super hot sauce if you like hot sauce, but the thing to see is the ranger’s station because it’s loaded with books, DVDs and T-shirts, but it’s a wealth of knowledge. Canyon De Chelly is so gorgeous and we camped there, and the Navajos have a wonderful campground and it’s free. You just drive from spot to spot and you can take horses down if you’re into that or take a jeep ride with guides. We didn’t do any of that as we had our dog and couldn’t leave him at the campground as he can put up quite the fuss, plus it was dry-camping and that part on the Navajo Nation was hot. Thunderstorms roll through that area frequently at certain points and it is awesome. Monument Valley isn’t all that far from there, and if you are going out during vacation and have the time, you should go on into Utah and visit the Grande Arches. That is such a beautiful part of the west. We’ve traveled New Mexico extensively as our daughter moved there, and have you ever been Lincoln City where Billy the Kid roamed? That is the real deal when it comes to the buildings and the glass in the buildings is from that era as you can see the imperfections. And near there is Capitan, which is also worth stopping to see as it is the original home and burial place of the very first Smoky Bear. » Posted By javaz On April 7, 2010 @ 6:15 pm Oh yes, of course, I’ve been to the Heard Museum, Khirad, as I am very interested in Native Americans and their history. Did you know that they uncovered an entire village near Washington St. near the airport? And have you ever been to Casa Grande? That’s in between you and I and that’s another awesome ruin to visit. Where we live – on the foothills of the Superstition Mountains – are ruins and The Hieroglyphic Trails, which are actually petroglyphs, but there are ponds there and they are sacred with the carvings surrounding them. There are ruins there that are similar to Montezuma’s Castle, but not as popular, and you can actually walk through the ruins. Ever been to Canyon de Chelly? That is definitely one of my favorite places to visit and the Navajos even have a radio station in their language. I love the history of our state, but the current day politics – not at all. I do love living here though even with all the creepy-crawlies and rattlesnakes – you have to appreciate nature and respect it – but then again, we’re rural, so we have an entirely different perspective. » Posted By javaz On April 5, 2010 @ 6:41 pm Maybe I’m naive, but I believe that eventually the truth does come out but you have to search for that truth a lot of times. For instance, Custer was always portrayed as a hero of sorts until recent years, when history documents that he was narcissistic and arrogant and not very liked. A visit to Little Big Horn and other forts along the way depict Custer in an unflattering light, which was not always the case. As for the missionaries and their treatment of American Natives – a visit to New Mexico and the pueblos explain the Indians having to conform to Christianity publicly, forcing them to hold secret sacred ceremonies and when they were discovered they were beaten and flogged by the religious men who came to save their ‘heathen’ souls. And then in Arizona are the sad stories of the Navajos, Pimas and other native tribes who were forced from their families and forced to learn English and dress like white American children and if they did not comply, the children were beaten. Fortunately, the Indians are trying to teach their children today the old language and ways of their people, but it’s difficult since the kids for the most part have lost interest. There have been numerous documentaries that have shown the internment of the Japanese Americans during WWII and the Japanese Americans who volunteered for the war to prove their loyalty. And then some of the Japanese American military were taken to the camps to recruit fellow Japanese Americans, since the military was desperate for men, and the Japanese Americans spit on them and regarded them as traitors. And then there’s the stories about African Americans and their treatment during WWII and after. Try as they might to gloss over our history, I do believe the truth eventually comes to light, and hopefully, people, especially younger people will strive to find the truth as they mature. I love history, too, but the truth is out there and I agree with you, Cher, in that our history is not taught accurately or honestly in our schools. That’s where higher education comes in – you know, when kids go to those ‘liberal’ universities. Great article again, Cher, and thought-provoking. » Posted By javaz On April 5, 2010 @ 3:21 pm Man of Steele – Episode 23: “Black Kryptonite” McCain’s a shoe-in, so the DNC is not going to even bother. That’s why we’re getting more involved locally. » Posted By javaz On April 5, 2010 @ 6:53 pm I also think 65 should be mandatory retirement age for SCOTUS, too! Heck, even presidents and congresspeople and every elected official should be forced to retire at 65, imho. » Posted By javaz On April 5, 2010 @ 4:35 pm That’s the thing – as of yet we have no viable Democratic candidate declaring they are running although there are some hopeful rumors floating around. Arizona is going backwards fast and it’s a consolation of sorts to read the on-line comments from the Tribune and Arizona Republic – both right-wing rags – whereby Arizonans are showing disgust with McCain and our Republican majority legislature and Republican governor. The Tribune was a bit more left-leaning until it was sold and now it’s worse than the Republic! » Posted By javaz On April 5, 2010 @ 4:07 pm Another one bites the dust – Republican National Committee chief of staff Ken McKay has resigned in the wake of a controversy over an expenditure at a risque California nightclub, RNC communications director Doug Heye said Monday. McKay’s resignation comes one week after the Daily Caller Web site reported that the RNC’s January expenditure report included nearly $2,000 spent at Voyeur in West Hollywood, a topless nightclub. RNC officials worked to distance Chairman Michael Steele from the controversy — insisting that not only was he not in attendance but that he had no knowledge of the reimbursement — and promised changes in the way that people were reimbursed by the committee. McKay’s resignation appears to be the leading edge of those moves, and an attempt by Steele and the broader RNC to show donors worried about the stability of the committee that changes ares being made. McKay will be replaced by Mike Leavitt, a longtime party operative who had been serving as deputy chief of staff at the committee. » Posted By javaz On April 5, 2010 @ 4:03 pm Sarah Palin just reminded voters in Arizona that McCain is a maverick when she appeared at fundraisers in Tucson and Tempe. McCain is showing signs of senility and needs to retire. » Posted By javaz On April 5, 2010 @ 3:38 pm Here’s a good news story – One of the businessmen that donated $50,000 to the SwiftBoaters that smeared Senator Kerry has resigned. The Republican National Committee has lost one of its top fundraisers amidst a backdrop of scandals hounding RNC Chairman Michael Steele. Sam Fox, a former US ambassador to Belgium and hearty supporter of President George W. Bush, has resigned a senior position within the Party’s fundraising ranks, Politico’s Ben Smith reported Monday. The position, Smith says, was unpaid but important. Fox was a co-chairman of the Republican Regents, a Republican fundraising cabal. Fox was “deeply troubled by the pattern of self-inflicted wounds and missteps,” a Republican fundraiser purportedly told Smith Monday, and had “lost confidence” in Steele. The fundraiser also said that Fox was finding it harder to raise money under Steele’s darkening cloud. More RNC defections are expected, Smith said. http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0405/top-rnc-fundraiser-quits/ » Posted By javaz On April 5, 2010 @ 2:30 pm Another gift that keeps on giving courtesy of the GOP. » Posted By javaz On April 5, 2010 @ 1:49 pm Blessed Are The Poor – But Not By Republicans Sue, here’s an excellent article that sums up Arizona politics and how the Republican Governor and Republican majority legislature is wasting money on joining the suit against HIR, while denying poor Arizonan’s health care – SAVED BY GOD, condemned by politics When Gov. Jan Brewer and the tough-talking legislators at the state capitol decided to solve budget problems by eliminating health care coverage for kids and sick people, they didn’t spend a lot of time speaking with their victims. It’s a lot easier to think in terms of numbers, not names. To that end, the recently passed state budget would eliminate the KidsCare health care program, causing roughly 47,000 children to lose coverage, and reduce the eligibility level for the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCS), Arizona’s Medicaid program, cutting medical coverage for 310,000 individuals. All this is to save money, we were told. Just last week, however, the big brave legislators decided that they DID want to spend money on a lawsuit against federal health care reforms, even though their concerns have been addressed in lawsuits from other states. There’s no bravery involved in railing against Washington with other people’s money. But it would take guts to look sick people in the eyes and say, » Posted By javaz On April 5, 2010 @ 5:49 pm PlanetPOV Political Easter Egg Hunt Congratulations to the winners! I would have never figured out Rahm or Nancy Pelosi, but did get the others! Enjoy your egg salad and scalloped potatoes! » Posted By javaz On April 5, 2010 @ 1:53 pm Happy Easter! Could only get 2 – #1 and # 3 and must say #3 is appropriate. Will work on it later today – » Posted By javaz On April 4, 2010 @ 6:13 am The Skeksis are in the Vatican! YIKES! I’ve been staying away from this one, Pepe, as it’s complicated. Tell me again – what good has the church done in history? The Inquisition? I think not. The Crusades? (and btw, my Catholic school high school football team was called the Crusaders!) I think not. The Spanish Catholic missionaries coming to the Americas and whipping, literally, the natives into compliance? I think not. During Hitler’s reign, how the church somehow turned an eye and allowed all of that to happen? So someone tell me please, what good to humanity did the Catholic Church do for the history of man? I agree with whoever wrote in the comments that you cannot say the celibacy thing led to the pedophilia. You either lust after women or adult men, or you lust after children. This entire thing with the church and their denial and shooting the messenger and making excuses just doesn’t go over big with me. Yet, I still consider myself a Catholic, even though I will never go back after being lapsed for years and going back, but I’m lapsed for good now. I wash my hands. Ever been to the Vatican? Heck, for that matter, ever been to Salt Lake City? Both are similar in a sense in that there are poor people everywhere, while the riches are confined within the walls. Jesus tossed the moneychangers from the temple, and I do not believe that Jesus would approve of the Vatican or Salt Lake City. I know what I believe, and I do believe that Jesus existed, and was pretty close to a perfect man, but yet, he wasn’t perfect, and that’s what made him human. As for God – I’m really pissed off with God. What kind of God sends his only son down to earth and allows him to be tortured and then killed? What kind of God allows his chosen people to endure the Holocaust? When I say here on this site that I believe, I mean that in that Christ existed, but when it comes to God – well, I guess I’ll see lots of people in hell, as God is one mean and nasty father. I’ve never been so angry in my life with the Vatican, even though I know the church’s history, and that is not a good thing. I think the church is evil, and I truly do, and when people talk about the anti-Christ, and I know this is going to upset people, my deepest apologies to Kalima, but I believe the anti-Christ is the Catholic Church. They’ve covered up for centuries. » Posted By javaz On April 5, 2010 @ 7:24 pm Planet Music Night Dedicated to Fools Hi TRP! I so love STYX! And that is the BEST album! » Posted By javaz On April 2, 2010 @ 4:05 pm Dead-heads rule!!! » Posted By javaz On April 2, 2010 @ 3:35 pm LOL! How cute! Love them Chipmunks! I love the words to that Uncle Kracker and believe it or not we got a bunch of songs by that person (group?) from our conservative friend, Dick. I love the line – If heaven isn’t like Detroit then I don’t want to go there, and then something about Salt Lake City. Uncle Kracker is actually very good – the rap song is rare, as his/their other songs are really good – but it’s one of them things that they picked a bad name for a band. » Posted By javaz On April 2, 2010 @ 3:18 pm Btw, KQ – LOVE the graphic! and that’s my favorite smiley, too! besides » Posted By javaz On April 2, 2010 @ 3:13 pm I wish we could play these – I love the last one for the name alone!

(no b’ito yet today?) we sent him a very cute Easter greeting – a pic of our dog and moi with a rather stoic Easter bunny and it’s cute because we named the dog – j’acaz – hope he’s okay. » Posted By javaz On April 2, 2010 @ 3:07 pm Oops! Oh well, it’s a great song and worthy of 2 plays! » Posted By javaz On April 2, 2010 @ 3:04 pm How could we forget Mr. T !

(my great, great grandmother on my father’s side was an Indian but from Canada – the great, great grandfather came over from Paris, was a fur-trapper and married an Indian from Ottawa)
It’s an awesome thing to walk around that’s located in the middle of a bustling city.
And I love it – because they are not far from our home.
It’s going to be a fun time trying to think of crazy wacky songs from the past.
I like it!
