A snow that's neither flaky nor cold
Even though everyone else and their uncle wrote about this yesterday, and I was away from the computer -- I'll now add to the pile of praise with my own belated post about the White House's noble new Press Secretary, Tony Snow.
I couldn't be more excited for Tony and expect that his new opportunity is going to be a great success for him as well as for our previously maligned President and his administration.
Even while perusing the MSM reports yesterday, I didn't find many leftologists with a bad word to say about the new White House Press Secretary. And with good reason. Tony Snow is a class act.
Liberals were like cats chasing their own tails..."we like him, he's eloquent, kind and funny when he insults us" but oh my lord, we hate him -- he was a partisan affiliated with Fox News! "Fox News to the White House, no real change there". I guess they forget that they have mouthpieces that go by the call letters of CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN and MSNBC on their side. Not to mention the hundreds of paper puppy trainers that masquerade as journalism.
It seemed the leftologists were most confused and excited by the fact that Tony has been critical of GWB in the past. How can they call him partisan (as they viciously wanted to), if he's disagreed with or been critical of the President at times? They had to try. And in "valiant" libstyle tried to sell it as a prodigal son story -- unsuccessfully.
I suppose this confusion is due to liberal thinking. They don't understand critical thinking and logic. Libs blindly support every stupid thing their own leaders do (don't make me remind you of specifics), surely it must be the same on the right! Right?
Not this time.
Some background on my praise:
A while back, when I actually paid attention to my sitemeter, I noticed many referrals coming in from Foxnews.com. For a conservative, this is something that transcends wonderful, it's even better than making a liberal cry.
Tony had started his Fow News Radio show and linked some political blogs that he enjoyed, somehow I was lucky enough to be on that list. And as many of you know just this past winter, I had the pleasure of being on his radio show.
Even though Tony is a busy, important man with a family -- and has also faced and conquered a major health crisis -- he still took the time to be supportive of those very little folks (like me). I'll always be very grateful for that support.
So, congratulations Tony! Lots of us from both sides of the political map are excited and proud.
Except Helen Thomas, I'm sure. She's probably curled up in fetal position with her earth friendly, non-toxic vegan Bill Clinton doll. Al Gore invented him!

update on my gas
That's a free shot. Take it if you must.
I'm calling The BIG BAD Gas Company in the morning to request a line inspection. Hopefully my contempt and hatred won't taint the call.
There are two questions left in my mind, first is why SHOULD they "find" a leak if there is one? Don't they want me to pay 400 bucks a month? And if someone should strike a match and the building blows, they could always point the finger at the landlord. Or me.
Secondly, several people suggested I talk to my neighbors. There are 3 units that are identical to mine. One is occupied by a group of rowdy, recent college grads. I think there are about 10 people living there in a two bedroom townhouse. You might wonder how I know -- basically one warm day the shades were open and I saw beds and dressers in both the dining room and the kitchen. God bless them, but I think they have enough drunken bodies in there to preclude the need for heat.
The other unit belongs to my special little friend. I not only found and returned to the spa, a gift certificate of hers for an hour and half long massage, but a few weeks back my LBP found her cell phone. I paged through her phone book...really important things like the Arclight theater, Barney's, Ona Spa, The Ivy and some tanning salon only to stumble across something useful..."Mom & Dad".
At this point I had NO idea the phone belonged to my neighbor. And my housekeeper was afraid to do anything about it, lest she be accused of stealing it or some such nonsense. So I dialed up "phone owner's" Mom and Dad.
Her Mom answered, and was beyond adorable, bubbly and grateful. Once we figured out that I am her daughter's neighbor, she said and I quote, "You don't know her and her boyfriend? Oh, you would love them, they are great! And I know she will be over to thank you for being be so smart. Maybe she will bring you a gift. She should! I can't believe you thought to call her Mom to get the phone back to its owner. How smart!"
(Obviously Mom and daughter are products of liberal schools)
Said neighbor is a cranky bitch. This has been proved time and time again. In the past, several of us made the grave mistake of saying "hi!" or "Oh, we haven't met yet -- I'm your neighbor" only to be shot a nasty look, along with sharp words. Maybe her hemorrhoids were acting up, or she had a Hollywood executive shoved up her ass.
After her boyfriend grabbed the phone out of my hand and ran back to his game (he was wearing a tacky basketball jersey) I realized something about that "great couple". No thank you. At all. No note. Nothing. I should have smashed the phone, toxic battery and thrown it in the gutter for Earth Day.
The third neighbor is very nice. But never home, always traveling. I doubt he's been around long enough to use any gas at all.
So, I'll be sure to post an update. I'm skeptical about my prospects of getting out of this bill, and it's very likely cold showers will force me to bend over.
Frigidly yours,
Mox

Gas Prices
Oh no, you few tree-licking but much loved liberals who lurk here -- don't have an orgasm just yet -- it's not what you think. I'm talking natural gas. The stuff that fuels stoves, clothesdryers, heaters and Hillary Clinton's speeches. Thankfully, I can still afford gasoline to put in my GIANT SUV.
I'm currently living in cold shower land, which even in Los Angeles is not a good thing. Especially when the townhouse you inhabit is always colder than a Nordic crypt in January.
Here's the story. Less than a month ago I wrote a check to The Gas Company (that's really what they are called here) for about 500+ bucks. Less than a month later my gas is shut off for non-payment of about 400+ bucks. Fine, I was on vacation and missed something, whatever.
What's more important is that somehow I am paying $900+ bucks for natural gas in the first four months of the year. For a rather small space. Let's add into the mix that my landlord has not bothered to fix the gas heater, which has been out of service for more than a month and a half. And turned off.
Sure, unlike liberals I have the nasty habit of showering everyday. And I wash my clothes and towels after they are worn or used. I cook occasionally, but not enough to give Emeril a coronary. So it comes down to HEAT. For about ONE month.
Can someone please send Howard Dean or a PETA blowhard over here? They want to save the earth, and I want to keep my hard earned money in my pocket. It's win-win.
Let's do some imaginary math. My townhouse is about 1,400 sq feet. But the tiny heater is in ONE room downstairs. I have a thermostat which was always set somewhere between 69 and 73 degrees, until it broke and my landlord pussyfooted around about fixing it. Have to get some coffee and order some parts, yeah. Parts.
No matter what the setting, even when the heater works I ALWAYS have to walk around wearing polar fleece and thermal long underwear. Yes, in the summer. The cats aren't pets, they are required for warmth. There have been nights when THEY herded me into bed and all four of us snuggled for warmth.
I don't want to fork over another 400 bucks blindly, something is awry here. I've done the math and it would be cheaper for me to use a laundrymat and shower at a Motel 6 seven days a week than have gas service to my home.
Any California denizens out there with feedback? Or a liberal who cares to warm my home with their hot air? They have to be useful for something. We are all god's creatures afterall.
Coldly,
Mox

Mythbusting the liberal media
I've been enjoying Mythbusters on the Discovery channel. Sure, sometimes their experiments are slightly flawed, but my scientific, analytical side was entertained.
By chance, I ended up on the official website for the show.
They have what appear to be fun quizzes. I clicked on the top one, "sports myths" (I know nothing about sports) and was suprised to find a show that one would EXPECT to be free of personal bias actually had something fairly skewed in an answer explanation.
The question was:
"The outcome of Washington Redskins football games predicted the winner of every U.S. presidential election from 1936 to 2000."
Now read the answer, emphasis is mine:
"Just as the groundhog's shadow foretells whether there will be six more weeks of winter, the outcome of the final home game of the Washington Redskins has been as an indicator of which political party would win the presidential election. If the Redskins won their last home game before Election Day, then the current party in power would win the election. If the Redskins lost, the opposing party would take over the White House. Unfortunately, the Redskins' streak ended in 2004. Although they were defeated by the Green Bay Packers on Oct. 31, George W. Bush was reelected and the Republican Party retained control of the White House."
Why garnish with the word "unfortunately" and not, just "the interesting streak ended in 2004"? Not everyone would think the end of that trend to be unfortunate. At least not more than half of the United States -- the people who voted for our President. Then again, most of those people don't work in corrupt Hollywood.
Shame on Mythbusters.

Welcome to Tom's little Thetan
To be honest, the last few hours I've been slightly obsessed -- as I type, is Tom Cruise somewhere here in LA eating his child's placenta? I can't wait to see the news tomorrow to find out if he had his Manuel labor cook it or if he simply chowed down and ate it sushi-style.
Talk about a party I'd love to crash. So close, yet still too far from the action. Steve H. has been placenta blogging too. It's the new black.
FAKE UPDATE: No TOMfoolery in the comments. Eating afterbirth is serious business, certainly nothing to joke about, ok?

the real deal
I don't know how The Ugly American somehow discovered the undoctored photo from this post of mine. But to be fair, I feel I should post it here for your enjoyment.
As for me, I nearly peed my pants.

can't sleep
I can't sleep. This isn't unusual, of course somehow I got my Mother's genetics in the sleep department and insomnia comes standard, free of additional charges. How nice.
But things are worse than usual -- I'm exhausted from my trip -- and still -- sleep doesn't arrive until 4 AM in the morning.
One might be tempted to blame my insomnia on excitement -- afterall my favorite holiday is quickly approaching. Yes, the Earth Day celebration is huge around the Moxtopia compound. In case you didn't know, it's April 22nd, mark your calendars and have a baby seal on hand to club and skin, preferably while it is still (barely) alive. Helpful hint: baby seals skin easier if they are soaked in used car oil. And remember, the proper place to dispose of used car oil is in the gutter. It makes PETArds cry. And that makes God happy. He put animals and oil on this earth for our use, afterall.
In fact, the preparations for Earth Day are really taxing. If you've been a reader for a few years, you know how seriously I take a holiday created by tree-humping, tofu-binging, hairy, odiferous libshits. Yes, that's right.
My annual earth day schedule will be posted on Friday, since I know all good conservatives only read blogs while at work. Weekends are for quality time with families and making liberals wet the bed.
No suggestions, please. I want this year to be over the top. Far better than 2004's celebration and anything you say will be ignored or eliminated from the official celebration.
But I will pose a question; If it's wrong to kill animals for our own use, but it's fine to kill babies -- can I wear aborted baby skin jackets, lined with infant hair?

One day late, Aarons.cc rises from the dead
Aaron's site has been hacked a few times by those who believe bomb belts are the hottest fashion accessory.
Aaron is back finally -- and ready to irritate his quick to anger opponent. Go send him your greetings.

edumacate me
Can anyone tell me why I am getting trackback spam from google?
Every day I get at least 5, they generally contain the following:
URL: http://www.google.com/
Title: this is very good
Weblog: this is very good
Excerpt:
good related article
It's highly unlikely the leftologists at Google would find anything I write to be "very good".
Trackback spammers flood blogs with dung to boost their own google rankings -- why in the world would google be spamming to boost their own search engine ratings??

statuesque
If I were smart, I would have published this photo yesterday -- but I was under the influence of Rovian mind control and unable to do much of anything not related to top secret VRWC activities.
This photo was taken in the chapel at 300 year-old San Xavier del Bac Mission, south of Tucson. I have tons more and if I ever get around to it, they'll end up punctuating a non-Arizona related post or in the gallery.
Don't hold your breath.
I suppose its expected that I tell you some of my observations about my trip. Tucson is really beautiful and surprisingly easy to navigate. Never underestimate the joy of being alone in a car, in a strange place, reading the map while going 70 mph and NOT getting lost.
While I didn't get to see the javelina, I did hear the coyotes. Also got a bad night shot of the horned owl who kept us awake and saw desert quail, hummingbirds, hawks, snakes, tons of rabbits and two amazing sunsets.
The last one was at the El Conquistador. A gentleman grabbed my hand and said he wanted to show me something. He led me around to the front of the restaurant and pointed out the sunset. "Isn't it beautiful?" he said. And it was. The sweet gentleman who pointed it out was only 3 years old. Sadly, about 30 years too young for me.
Living in a big city, I'm somewhat of a food snob, but was pleasantly surprised by the nice non-franchise restaurants, like this one.
Something else that is notable were the multitude of "God Bless America" bumper stickers and "Support our Troops" magnetic ribbons on cars. The whole week I didn't see a single item on a car that wouldn't make Cindy Sheehan froth at the mouth.
I felt free to read the new Laura Bush biography on the plane ride back to LA as the man sitting next to me worked as a freelance consultant at the air force base. Excited to have a conservative seated next to me, I told him how upon arriving in Tucson, I saw a several jets flying in formation. He talked about how he misses living in Tucson.
All I have to say is god bless the red states.

dual purpose
I'm going to post a few new photos this weekend. No, not of me. I prefer to be behind the camera rather than in front of it. And I grew rather rusty not using the camera for a few months.
Since no one bothers to read blogs during the weekend (let alone when a weekend contains both the Passover and Easter holidays), and photo posts don't garner a lot of comments anyway...I'll share some of my vacation snapshots. Yes, I was on vacation this past week, for the prying types.
Enjoy!

Name that bird
This most likely isn't a huge challenge...I simply don't know.
It's a horrible photo -- snapped it in bad light (was afraid to use a flash) but it was so close I couldn't resist.
Ok, your turn.

A new fan
One of the cool things about sitemeter is that you can see HOW someone got to your site.
So, someone here in L.A. was searching google for "enema pictures" and dared send the following misspelled, grammatical disaster. It's a pretty typical "open minded, tolerant" liberal email, enjoy! I sure did.

Subject: What is the .nu ender stand for
I was very excited to see so many conservatives who are actually liberals
existing in one website. Actually found the one person who loves Bush (his
dad Satan). And I see people are anti abortion whichs means sentencing
children to lives of physical, mental and sexual absue (do a google on
Nixmary Brown) so basically playing God and sentencing people to hell in
this life (how dare anyone do that!) without also committing every resource
to ensure all those baby's everyone...get equal and fair upbringing in a
safe home, good schools, good guadians, health insurance etc...oh
wait..Republicans are about greed....no way you pay for all that....but when
that neglected abused child robs you at gun point...and you say "For
Shame".....its yourself who needs to look in the mirror as the root of such
evil.
George Bush needs to be castraded and fed his own testes and waste matter
before death by drowning under 25 tones of maggot infested cow manure and
that is still to honorable an end for him so maybe add in forcing his bug
eyed bitch mom (he was the son of a female dog right?) her bulging eye balls
as an appetizer!
Long live the good the pure the considerate the kind the generous the loving
the sweet the nurturing and deatht o all the evil people (and Bush is one of
those and by association you too!)
Bush needs to stand up and say all I care about is money and greed and power
and that I am not a true christian I only use christianity to gain money
greed and power. Then i will respect that scumbag son of a whore.
=)
have a great day!

I'm not posting more...
because I am too lazy to type.
Wish I had a more creative excuse. But I don't. Don't worry, I'm still wearing size 0 and size 2 clothing. I have not turned into the fat American "filmmaker" also known as Michael Moore.
I also still love our President George W. Bush. I still don't believe in abortion, nor god and haven't been struck down by a mighty lightning rod. Nor a liberal's microscopic hybrid vehicle with a "Kill Babies, not terrorists" bumpersticker on back.
Verbal moxie is on its way, via podcast.
Somehow it's easier to speak than write. One topic I'd like to talk about is why I never take photos any more. Why I have tried but failed at loving a liberal. How I love having meskins here, but am beyond freaked out over how some have rewritten history.
You tell me what you'd like me to talk about. There are only five of you. This isn't a tough assignment.
