Ernesto bears down on the Carolinas.

Ernesto strengthening as it moves towards North Carolina.

It seems that Tropical Storm Ernesto is trying to regain hurricane status as it makes way towards the North Carolina coast.

The strengthening storm, which could become a category 1 Hurricane, is expected to make landfall near Wilmington NC sometime between midnight and 2 a.m., and then track up the Interstate 95 through Fayetteville and Ralaigh NC as it passes through the state into Virginia.

The storm could produce severe thunderstorms, power outages, heavy flooding, damaging winds of up to 70-75 mph, tornadoes and bring 6-8 inches of rain to the Fayetteville, Ralaigh Durham area.

What a way to begin the four day labor day weekend. The grocery store was a real fun adventure today. Everyone buying bread and milk, it was a mad house. Lucky for me, the beer section wasn't to crowded.

Don't worry folks, I have stocked up on all the essentials too include enough beer to wait out the storm.

Hurricane party at the house tonight....but you will have too bring your own survival kit. Sorry, only have enough for me and I aint sharing.

One Year Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

This week marks the one year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. If you haven't been paying attention the media and the left have been reminding us all week long that the whole thing was all President Bush's fault. In fact several democrats held a press conference in New Orleans this week to take advantage of blaming the Bush administration and former FEMA head Mike Brown.

Don't you see the hurricane would have never happened if President Bush had just payed attention and cared about global warming and after the Hurricane hit the complete responsibility fell on George W. Bush's shoulders not the state and local government. Makes you wonder if these people want a president or a King...

It is true, President Bush may have been able to handle the situation better. But why is it to this day he gets all the blame. Why has no one held the officials in Louisiana to account for their botched handling of the disaster. When will the Democrats that run that state receive the proper blame? Mayor Ray Nagin not ordering an evacuation earlier. Allowing hundreds of school buses to that could have been used to evacuate people go under water. What about Governor Blanco for not asking for federal assistance when it was clear she needed it... I'm still waiting.

They were held accountable here at MTCW. Here is almost everything I have wrote about Hurricane Katrina from the MTCW archives.

Sorry folks but couldn't help but notice where the ass crack of the world was!!!

A special thanks to the Tall Cool One.

I would like to say thanks to the Tall Cool One for blogging and keeping you entertained in my abscense. It is something he has wanted to do for a while. I am sure he wishes he would have had more time to do it.

Why you shouldn't vote for any party in November.

Well, we are 69 days away from the election in November that may cost the Republicans control of the House and Senate and give it to the Democrats. Everyone is out there telling you why you should vote for this party over that party. I decided to tell you why you shouldn't vote for any of the parties.

Why you shouldn't vote Republican

There has never been a congress that has blown as much money on vote-buying programs quite like the current Republican congress has. Republicans have become borrow and spend liberals.

There are far too many Republicans who want to take their personal religious beliefs for behavior and make them into the law of the land.

They are unwilling to take advantage of their majority and get things done.

The McCain-Feingold Campaign Reform Act.

The Medicare Prescription Drug benefit program that is going to cost us trillions.

If they had their way, Terri Schiavo's soul would still not be resting in peace.

They refuse to protect America's borders or do anything about illegal immigration.

No strong support for the FairTax

Why you shouldn't vote Democrat

They seem to be unwilling to defend America from Islamic Fascism ... not now ... not until the price of that defense becomes catastrophic like a nuke going off in a major city or something.

They think terrorism is a law enforcement problem.

They can not stand individualism and personal responsibility.

They don't believe America is great because of its citizens but think America is great because of its government.

They seem to think that income should be distributed to the poor from the rich, instead of earned.

They promote class and race warfare.

Hillary Clinton.

They're joined at the hip with teacher's unions.

Taxes can never be too high for Democrats

The fully intend to turn illegal aliens into Democrat voters and refuse to protect America's borders because of it.

No support for the FairTax.

Why your shouldn't vote Libertarian
With over 50% of the American people harboring a lot of the libertarian party platform beliefs, they can't manage to mount a successful third-party campaign.

Not only will they not defend America from Islamic Fascism, they don't see the threat.

Though philosophically they're right, they fail to see that their "legalize drugs" agenda isn't exactly a winner with the American people.

They never jumped on eminent domain abuse as the party agenda. People will react when they think their property rights are being threatened .... and the Libertarians couldn't take advantage of this.

No strong support for the FairTax..

Random Thought on the War on Terror...

After the 9-11 attacks President Bush vowed to fight a war on terror and rightly so. However, one must wonder how dedicated are we to fighting that war on terror when we step in with the international community to get Israel to stop fighting the same war.... does this make sense???

How is it justified for us to fight a war on terror but where not going to allow Israel to fight the same war on terror??? and yes, Hezbollah is a terrorist organization.

No, I am not joining the anti-war crowd... I am just wonderinng why Israel can' t keep fighting the same war.

Who's the Cowboy?

Why I believe it is the creator of My Two Cents Worth, Tony Spain... and as usual the country boy has a beer in hand.

Hello folks, Tony is out of the loop until Monday and he has allowed me, The Tall Cool One, to have full access to this blog and his laptop. A mistake he will not regret because he has a sense of humor and a mistake that everyone will enjoy, I promise.

Iran wants to talk...about not sure what.

So now Iran says they are willing to talk about its nuclear program, but are they really or are they just buying time befroe economical sanctions are placed on them that may put a hurting on their oil profits.

So what is Iran offering to bring to the table to talk about?

According to reports coming out today, absolutely nothing. Are they prepared to give up their nuclear program and stop enriching uranium? According to an Iranian news agency, absolutely not. So what is there to talk about?

Nothing comes to mind.

But Iran knows what they are doing. They want to make the United States look like the bad guys. So they tell the world that they are willing to negotiate even if it is not on they key demand of stopping their nuclear program. The Bush administration will send John Bolton and Condi Rice out and say there is nothing to talk about. Iran will call us inflexible and unwilling to negotiate. The Euro-wieners will fall into their usual appeasement modes along with the media and say there goes Bush with his cowboy diplomacy again... focusing all on the fact that the Bush administration is unwilling to negotiate with the willing Iran...

Iran has figured out the game pretty well I think.

Here's some cowboy diplomacy for Iran or perhaps country boy diplomacy that I am sure Tony would approve: Get rid of your nuclear program, or we will get rid of it for you.

Nebraska man arrested 226 times!

It is Monday...

Just remember no matter how bad you think you got it some one else has it worse.

John McCain makes some good points about Iraq on Meet the Press.

John McCain sat down with David Gregory on Meet the Press Sunday and talked about the situation in Iraq and how we should be fighting the war differently.

Here is full video transcript
and written transcript of Sundays Meet the Press.

McCain admits that things are not going as well as planned there but does not believe it is a lost cost and says that just like most Americans he is frustrated with the way the war is going.

McCain continues to say we need more troops on the ground in Iraq. This is a view that I have never agreed with McCain on until now. I have always felt that more troops would just mean more targets for terrorists with suicide bombs to attack, but McCain brings up a real good point on why we need more troops.

McCain says that because we don't have enough troops in Iraq we go in clear out a city of terrorists like Fallujah and then leave and the terrorists funnel back in to the city. If we had more troops we could clear the city and remain in control of the situation. If you think about it, McCain is absolutely right. How many times have we had to clear cities like Fallujah and Aramadi?

McCain goes on to say that he doesn't think we are winning the war in Iraq, but doesn't believe that civil war has begun there. He also doesn't believe it is like Vietnam and says the situation is salvageable and that we must prevail and we must win Iraq.

You know there is a lot of things that John McCain and I do not agree on, but I believe that he is right on the money on Iraq.

Half of the U.S. believe Saddam had WMDs

A recent poll shows that half of Americans believe Iraq had the WMD when troops invaded 3 1/2 years ago. This of course leaves the left with that uncomfortable look like someone just gave them a wedgie. How could people believe such lies!

Well, maybe its because it is not a lie. WMDs have been found in Iraq. Here is a list of the weapons of mass destruction that have been found in Iraq since Operation Iraqi Freedom began:

500 tons of yellow cake uranium. Now, that is 1 million pounds for those of you who went to public schools. Anyways it was found at Saddam's nuclear weapons facility. I bet you didn't know he had one of those.

1.8 tons of partially enriched uranium found in the same place. This is what you need to make nukes. Hidden centrifuge parts and blueprints.

Two dozen artillery shells loaded with Sarin and mustard gas.

Of course the left tries to downplay all this and says the weapons were old and unuseable. Really, well, I guess they won't mind if we store the evidence in there back yard then.

You may want to print this off and impress your liberal friends with the truth. Here are the links.

Court rules 2003 money seizure correct despite no drugs found

If this doesn't show you how ridiculous and unfair the seizure laws are in the drug war, nothing will. A court has ruled that authorities were right in seizing a man's $125,000 during a traffic stop...for no reason. The Founding Fathers must be spinning in their graves.

Signs of intelligent life in Hollywood!

Yesterday, a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times by an A-list of actors denounced the killing of innocents in Lebanon and Israel. They laid the blame exactly where it belongs.

La-la luminaries Nicole Kidman, Michael Douglas, Danny DeVito, Dennis Hopper, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Don Johnson, James Woods, Kelly Preston, Patricia Heaton of “Everyone Loves Raymond,” William Hurt and 73 others said they are “pained and devastated by the civilian casualties in Israel and Lebanon caused by terrorist actions initiated by terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah and Hamas.”

The amount of logic and empathy on display, the willingness to break from prevailing views that Israel’s act of self-defense was “disproportionate” and that Hezbollah should be allowed to fire from within civilian populations, is astonishing.

So there are signs of intelligent life in Hollywood afterall.
