OMFG! I'm having flashbacks to the 70's. It must have had sumpin' to do with all the weed I smoked back then. But I thought weed was supposed to make you forget stuff. Unfortunately, I remember the 70's very well.
Don't bogart that joint my friend
Pass it over to me
I remember wage and price controls which were implemented by a Republican president. Actually, today Nixon would be a RINO. After all, he did give us the EPA. And he wanted to give us socialized medicine. If the Dimocrats hadn't been so rabid in their Nixon hatred, we would already have had their dream of socialized medicine. I guess we should thank them.

I remember gas price regulation. We got that from Jimmah Carter. I remember the misery index. I remember gas lines. I remember stagflation.
Roll another one
Just like the other one
I remember the windfall profits taxes on oil companies. They didn't bring down the price of gas and they didn't decrease our oil dependence. In fact, they increased our oil imports. But that's the Dimocrats' plan to reduce oil prices: Raise taxes on the oil companies which they'll pass on to consumers. Yep. That will bring down gas prices fer sure dude. Chuck "the schmuck" Schumer said this time it will be different. Yeah. I believe that. Oh. They've got a new thing. They're gonna sue OPEC. Let me know how that works out.
You've been holding on to it
And I sure will like a hit
Back in the 70's we had this really naive dude who ran for president. He was real big on hope and change and human rights and all of that neat stuff. He thought you could talk to all these world leaders and everything would be all right. How did that work out? Not too well. The Soviets "surprised him" when they went into Afghanistan. Well he showed them. He boycotted the Olympics. Those mean ol' Soviets sure didn't fuck with us after that.

The Iranians were so terrified that they stormed our embassy and in violation of international law (which the rest of the world is always accusing us of violating but did nothing when the Iranians violated it) took our diplomats hostage for 444 days. Talking did a fat lot of good.

Now we are gonna get a new president who thinks we can talk to these same dudes. Wonder what he wants to talk to them about?
Jug Hussein Ears: Uh, excuse me Mr. Aramalamadingdong, but, uh, I don't think you should have any nukes.
A: GFY infidel.
Yeah. I can see how that's gonna work. Just as well as Jimmah getting our hostages released.
Roll another one
Just like the other one
Back in the 70's Jimmah decimated our military. Jug Hussein Ears will as well. That's what Dimocrats always do. They take money from the military to fund their utopian social policies which only make things worse.
That one's burned to the end
Come on and be a real friend
We had a weak Republican candidate named Gerald Ford who was ridiculed by the press and Chevy Chase on SNL as being a clumsy bumbling fool. It's starting with McRINO. I just saw a video on CNN (which should really change its name to ONN since it's gone from the Clinton News Network to the Obama News Network) where McRINO has promised to "veto every beer".
Knock. Knock.
Who's there?
Hey, man, it's Dave. I got the dope. Open up.
Dave's not here.
And I'm beginning to wish that I weren't here. I really don't want a repeat of the 70's but it looks likes it's gonna happen.
At least the music was better back in the 70's.
For those of you under 55, ask your parents about the stuff in this post that you don't understand.
C'mon man. Open up.
Dave's not here.
It's funny that you mentioned Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford. Look what we have here. "Jimmy Light" and "Gerald Light." This has to be the most screwed up election in the history of this country. BO is an educated imbecile and McCain don't know what the hell he stands for. He even mentioned Bloomberg as a great guy and a possible VP. BO just admitted that he don't select the VP. He leaves it up to a couple of crooks that should be in jail. He is solid proof that affirmative action doesn't work. He should be at best a McDonald's night time supervisor and McCain should retire to Arizona. Bush and Cheney are looking better everyday.

Posted by: Sandy G on June 11, 2008 04:54 PMYesterday I was thinking that Barack was similar to what some would define as a possisble anti-Christ,,and sure enough I hear some real convincing debates on how is looking good as such!!!
What happpened to those who do not know History are doomed to repeat it...as I have been saying for a long time now..
Obama is the Black Jimmy Carter
The other day my young adult son asked me what bogart meant. I answered him about Humphrey Bogart and the cig hanging from his lips. He asked "Who is Humphrey Bogart"?
LOL. I don't feel that old.
The road to old was bumpy but now we can set back, relax and enjoy watching the young shoot themselves in the foot and eat each other for lunch, or at lunch if you're a democrat. Hussein O won't deny that as late as 1999 he was eating someone at lunch time in the back seat of a car and using drugs much stronger that Denny's joint. So it must be true.
Posted by: Scrapiron on June 11, 2008 07:21 PMHilarious. My buddy's Dad used to play that Cheech & Chong cassette when we would go camping as kids. At the time we didn't have a clue, but these days I know that fucker was runnin' off and taken tokes behind our backs...
Posted by: CharlieDelta on June 11, 2008 08:44 PMI was there in the 70's...
Re: Nixon- He was stabbed in the back by his own party.
Re: Ford- Nobody (Dims and Repukes) forgave him for forgiving Nixon.
Re: McCain- Not only CNN will laugh at him. He's been put down and renamed a hundred crazy names by the "true conservatives."
Don't bogart that joint my friend
Pass it over to me.
Your friendly troll from Canada.
Posted by: Claudia on June 11, 2008 09:50 PMOMG -- you hit the nail on the head with your comments and narratives!
Not to mention -- you had me ROTFLMAO about your "Cheech & Chong" at the end ... maybe you'll do a "Just a little bit more for Santa Claus" Cheech & Chong later this year!
Posted by: Former Marine on June 11, 2008 10:32 PMDenny,
Our only hope is that in four years, we'll elect the next Reagan. Whoever that may be.
I was born in '71, so today I'm amazed how Carter and Reagan don't hold up to what I've been told all my life. I thought Reagan was a clown and Carter a hero.
It's good to grow old. Now I know.
Posted by: red collar on June 11, 2008 11:39 PMThank you! Two young Staff and I killing ourselves laughing watching Cheech and Chong on YouTube. We didn't have a clue...
Posted by: Claudia on June 11, 2008 11:45 PMWhat's bad is, I'm only 32 and I remember that Little Feet song. And "Fat Man in a Bathtub" and "Dixie Chicken".
Last night I was bitching about the same things to my wife when I saw some crap on the news she was watching that just set me off. The assclowns in Congress must have been smoking the really good shit, since they can't seem to remember anything that went on in the 70's.
Posted by: Mike the radioman on June 11, 2008 11:45 PMAs usual you are right on, man. Right on! You have 30 seconds, Bob, what is your name?
Posted by: Schnickelfritz on June 12, 2008 10:22 AMI look at the country now and I see Dr. Hook's Freaker's Ball being played out in public all over. What do you expect when the stonies are now teaching at our high schools, colleges and universities? So now, our young, their brains stuffed by dope addled teachers, think ObamaRamaDingDong is the Second Coming...
(Check out Freaker's Ball on YouTube - Ray definitely looks a bit, whacked...)
Posted by: Bryan on June 12, 2008 10:33 AMUnder 55?. I'm 53 and I remember all of that very very well.
And isn't the line: Pass it over to me again.
Posted by: Titan Mk6B on June 13, 2008 12:48 PMDenny - Thanks for the link. Easy lyrics but I had forgotten a few lines. Three young staff here (2 males, 1 female) have become your fans. It started with the boobage! Now they're reading some posts with me. It's changing their understanding of both wars. I'll keep in touch with them when I go home, next week. They've been very kind to let me use one of the computers now and again.
Posted by: Claudia on June 13, 2008 04:13 PMOh well, at the music really and truly was better back in the seventies. More variety to as I remember. Oh God, when Barrack gets into office this is gonna suck big time!
