These are the musings and rantings of a liberal and open-minded individual. (Who actually holds a few libertarian viewpoints.) It’s a hodgepodge of political, societal and general life views, on what’s going on in this crazy, mixed up world . . . from an unreal writer. I’m a US citizen who thinks that his country has been hijacked by extremists, fear-mongers and – most of all – gross profiteers. I promise I’ll try to be as inoffensive as possible, but occasionally I’ll throw all caution to the wind. Besides, in this day and age just about anything said is going to offend someone.
Consider me the mouthy uncle you never wanted.

Hey Uncle, way to mark yourself as a target for the Repuglican right! Why not just get a t-shirt with the words “Will Terrorize For Food” or “Hates Your Freedoms” and take a run toward the front door of the White House? Better yet, just let me put a canvas bag over your head & lock your liberal ass up in a rickety tool shed for a while, avoid the rush to round you up & ship you to Gitmo. Oh, yes, I’m paranoid. I love my freedoms!
And, did you hear about Bush telling some Afghan war soldiers that he envied them, wish he was young enough to be out riding the range with them? It literally made me sick. This is a guy who allowed Rich Daddy (who was known to Prescott Bush’s friends as ‘Prescott’s idiot son’) to pull strings aplenty & get him a rare spot in the TX Air National Guard, so his preppy ass wouldn’t be in any danger of ground fire. It still steams me that, during the last campaign, Kerry allowed himself to be painted as a total fegeleh, when he had actually not only gone to war but shouldered a weapon in combat. Chicken hawks are the lowest form of human life. Or, not even human fucking beings, but worthless, disorganized pieces of grabasstic shit.
Gotta love the “Full Metal Jacket” reference. I think our loyal minority right-wingers need a Gny. Sgt. Hartman to slap some sense into their silly asses. I’ve seen some neocon sites and blogs that use the phrase “Wake Up America” as their rallying cry, in dealing with things like illegal aliens and the so-called terrorist threat. Ironically, these are the very people who need to waken from their slumber. Since 9/11 the federal government has debased many of our constitutional rights, all in the name of “national security”. And, our right-wing, conservative buddies have happily surrendered these rights, while mindlessly chanting “USA, USA, USA!” It used to be that conservatives were against the federal government having too much control over our lives. My, how times have changed.
Do you have August 10th solution?
I did them, but could not post them in time to be “spoilers”, so I didn’t post them at all. If you’re looking for the Jumble answer, remind me what the clue/question was and I’ll see if I remember the answer.

Thank-you. I have deciphered it.Lisa.
Here’s a jumble that I need your guys’ help with. It’s pretty old (one amongst various old ones). I’m not sure of the answer, so I wanted to compare what others come up with.

I appreciate the help, thanks. I hope I am not causing a disturbance, Uncle Rave. I figured since you are the wise one of jumbles, you could help me out?
Ideally, Glass Delusion, we need four more items of information:
1. We need the circle/highlight positions of the six – unscrambled – jumble clue words. (This will give us the individual letters to use in the jumble answer.)
2. We need to know how many words make up the jumble answer.
3. We need to know how many letters make up each of those answer words. (In their proper order, of course.)
4. And, if there were any *filler* words provided in the jumble answer. (and where they are situated.)
Being that this was a Sunday Jumble it must have had (around) 12 – 17 letters, and probably two or more answer words. The six clue words were not that difficult for me. (Maybe I’ve done this one before?) Can you provide the above four?
YUR
Right, right, I apologize! I knew there was something that I was missing. I am going to use an X for the non-circled words, and an O for the circled word.
1. DINGHI OOOXXX
2. YERKUT 0XXXOX
3. NACUNE XXOXXO
4. UPLARB OXXXXO
5. SAUTLE XXOXOX
6. CINDIT XXXXOO
Answer: “OOOOOOO” OOOOOO
The answer is made up of two words (the first is seven letters, and the second word is only six. There are no extra words in the answer. Thanks for the help.
Now we’re talkin’, glassdelusion!
DINGHI = HIDING, YERKUT = TURKEY, NACUNE = NUANCE, UPLARB = BURLAP, SAUTLE = SALUTE, CINDIT = INDICT — Giving us: HIDTEAEBPLTCT
Clue/Question: The scoreless baseball game turned into a . . .
Answer: “PITCHED” BATTLE
Like the first two games of this world series! Tonight’s game should be a beaut, too. I can almost swear that I’ve done this one before. Maybe it was before I started this blog. Thanks! It was fun!
YUR
GO YANKEES! (Just this once. Then I can go back to rooting against them!)
Thanks for all the help. I’m not much of a baseball fan, but I was able to figure out the answer. I had to be absolutely sure. I knew you could help me out!
Oh, and yes, you might have done this jumble before. It was dated January 13, but I put it somewhere, and now I find myself with a ton of old jumbles! I fathom this particular one can’t be more than three years old, although I could be wrong.
I’m glad you enjoyed the jumble, even if you had previously solved it. I might have another problem like this, so let me know if you would be willing to help. Thanks again.
