Ogre's Not Here!

Camping PictureWell, it's that time again -- time for the Ogre to go off into a cave and ignore the world for awhile. All you people who read blogs and news daily, I strongly suggest that you find time to do the same. What you will find out when you return is that nothing really important happened. Now this year there's a chance that the Senate will pass amnesty while I'm gone. But I've done all I can to stop that nightmare (dozens of faxes and phone calls). So I'm going camping.

Sometimes in the past I've had posts that would appear the two weeks I've been gone, but this year that didn't work out. So basically, you're not going to see anything new here for a couple weeks. I'll be tent camping without electricity -- no phones, computers, internet, or much of anything. Well, I might have to check the email once or twice to quell the urge...

So please accept my thanks for stopping by today and reading this post. And I promise, I'll be back about July 9th or so with more analysis of North Carolina government and reporting on the daily losses of freedom in this once-great country formerly known as the United States of America. And maybe one day, in the far future, we truly will be able to live free.

Oh, and I know it's been awhile since I've seen a comment party anywhere, so you people behave in the comments or I'll be calling on horse-dog Jake to deal with you...

1 Enjoy yourself and relax, Mr. Ogre -- you deserve some quiet time for yourself.

In the meantime, "A Country That Works" by Andy Stern has some interesting and reasonable thoughts about how to "Get America Back on Track" --

"America is a gift. For generation after generation, from every corner on earth, people have come to America's shores expecting to work hard, hoping that their work would be valued and rewarded. And, more significant, Americans have expected that their children would be better off economically than their parents."

7 Woohoo! The teacher has left the room and I can say anything I want!

But just like when I was in school, I couldn't really think of anything but passing a note.

What a bummer to be a good kid. Enjoy your break!

And the spit wads were not from me.

9 Have fun and enjoy your caving either literally or figurative meaning of the word. The world really does not change a lot while we are not keeping our eye on the ball. On understanding this the vacations when you are looking around in search for mass media and net-connection turn into peaceful idleness

12 I think it's time to call in the Marines.

And I get first choice this time!

*now where is that slip-n-slide and jello*

Posted by: Quality Weenie at June 29, 2007 05:54 PM (R6yie)

13 Oops. I had the slip -n- slide last... I'll get it out of my van now. Don't have any jello though... Hmmmmm... I thought I brought some chocolate...

14 OK, this thread degenerated rapidly. Won't Ogre be happy to know he has such a positive influence on us all?

15 (Pops in and looks around. Backs out Slowly while taking shoes off) Don't tell Ogre about the carpet.

17 Harvey! Your sheep is loose again. Oh, wait. Is that Harvey wearing a sheep costume? Harvey!

19 *sneaks in quietly with firemen and jello in tow*

Posted by: Maranda Rites at June 30, 2007 02:26 AM (jUoD8)

20 Ohhhh wow. Did you see what happened to that llama on the slip -n- slide???

Posted by: vw bug at June 30, 2007 02:19 PM (FPOeI)

21 I think we have finally corrupted Jake the Horse Dog

*pointing to Jake the Horse Dog getting friendly with the sheep*

Posted by: Quality Weenie at June 30, 2007 03:36 PM (BksWB)

22 Uhh, it looks like someone smeared jello on the strippers' poles...who would do such a thing?

*spies Harvey in sheep costume with Jake and some llamas*

Uhh, never mind. I DON'T want to know.

Posted by: Mrs. Who at June 30, 2007 05:37 PM (9FXen)

23 Folks, I'm not sure that is Harvey in a sheep costume... as I just saw him installing the swing in the bedroom... maybe Ogre snuck back early?

Anyone up for a 'swing'? Where are those Firemen???

Posted by: vw bug at July 01, 2007 10:59 AM (FPOeI)

24 *setting fire to Ogre's couch*

Firemen coming up VW!

25 Porcupine arrives with bottles of grain alcohol. He hears it is a disinfecant. Yeah, we're here to CLEAN UP!

Begins to simmer on campfire in yard, since authorities have cut off all power. Add wine, spices, oranges, raisins - get a real PUNCH going!

Makes Meridia Guy fetch wood.
