Odd Lunch Couple

Sitting at the bar for lunch yesterday at Twin Peaks (you know the type of place: cute girls in small uniforms, lots of cleavage, lots of ass, lots of bare, flat stomachs…but the foods pretty damned good here).

In walks this couple who sits down next to me at the bar — old guy, unkempt grey-hair and about a week’s worth of unshaved grey beard stubble, faded-maroon sweatshirt. If he was holding a cardboard sign and standing on a street corner, you wouldn’t think him out of place.

Had to be knocking on 70s door, if he hadn’t already been let in. Though living hard can make a man age faster than the actual years he’s lived on this rock.

The young lady with him looked more like an employee of this place, or at least of the nearest strip club. Petite, but even under her grey sweatshirt you can tell she’s blessed with the kind of firm rack that only youth and really good plastic surgeons can take credit for. Straight, long brown hair. No makeup. There’s still a stamp on her left hand from whichever club she was at the night before.

If I had to guess, she hasn’t been home or showered yet from whatever adventure she was on last night.

Didn’t seem like they knew each other too well, but were definitely having lunch together. But I couldn’t help notice — and laugh to myself — as the obvious age differences started revealing themselves in humorous little ways.

Like when she ordered a bloody mary, extra spicy. When the bartender asked her for her ID (yeah, she looked that young), the old guy said, “I’m her I.D.” The bartender still insisted on seeing it. Old guy says he’ll have the same, but asked the bartender to make it “a little bit less spicy  because of my ulcers.” As his perky friend sucked long and deep from the plastic straw, gramps nursed a few sips before asking the bartender for a bit more tomato juice. “Too spicy.”

I nearly spit iced tea through my nose when I heard him ask her, “Have I shown you the picture of my new toilet?”

Now, that’s the kind of question I’d expect him to ask his old buddies while they’re sitting around playing dominoes and drinking Pabst Blue Ribbons from an igloo ice chest. Not something I’d guess a 21-year old girl is all that interested in. Unless it’s made of pure gold. But even then…just maybe.

And then he had to have his Lolita lunch partner find the picture for him on his new iPhone because, “I still don’t know how to find stuff on here.”

Well…can’t blame the old guy for trying, I guess.

Edgar Casas — Another Illegal Immigrant Who Came to America to Make a Better Life for Himself. And to Rape Our Women and Children.

Edgar Casas

Edgar Casas — raping the women and children that American sexual deviants are too lazy to rape.

UPDATE – Well,  I was wrong. Casas never did make it to back to Mexico (too bad, then he would have been there problem, not ours). He was arrested last night.

___________________

Attention Austin/Central Texas people: have you seen this Mexican?

But mostly to rape our women and children.

Edgar Casas is accused of sexually assaulting at least eight women around Austin and is also wanted for the aggravated sexual assault of a child.

According to Austin Police Department, the suspect is described as a Hispanic man in his 20s. He is between 5’4” to 5’7” and has a thin build. He has short, dark, possibly wavy hair and a light complexion. Oh, and he doesn’t speak English — just Spanish.

You know who else is typically 1) in their 20s, 2) in the United States, and 3) can’t speak English? Illegal immigrants, that’s who. Just remember, if Obama and Rubio get their way, this pervert will get amnesty AND welfare. The better with which to fund his raping lifestyle (on your dime).

So, good luck finding Edgar, Chief Acevedo — he’s already back home in Mexico (where he’ll likely continue raping women and children).

Art Acevedo: A Willing Puppet in the Left’s War on the Second Amendment

Austin Police Department’s Chief cop, Art Acevedo is proving once again that he is little more than a Liberal politician and not an real police officer. Or, more accurately, a puppet of the Liberal establishment.

What’s our Chief up to this time? Apparently he was in D.C. to stand with Obama in trying to stomp all over the second amendment.:

Austin’s top cop has made it clear he’s all for universal background checks on gun purchases. At a rally at the State Capitol last weekend, Chief Art Acevedo spoke passionately about what he believes is the way to curb gun violence.

“People that have proven that they want to do harm to themselves or others, we should have an ability to keep firearms out of their hands,” Acevedo said.

Now, he’s taking his fight to Washington D.C. Tuesday, Chief Acevedo tweeted a picture of himself in the West Wing of the White House. He’s there meeting with Vice President Joe Biden along with other law enforcement officials from around the country to push for legislation calling for universal background checks.

“I made it clear from my perspective and the perspective of law enforcement around the country that we need to get this done, we need to protect our neighbors, friends, family members and at the same token respect the gun rights of lawful Americans,” he told FOX 7 over the phone Tuesday afternoon.

Uh…I have no doubt that you want to stomp on the second amendment because you think it will make your job in law enforcement easier, but you definitely do not speak for the greater law enforcement community. I suggest that Art read the results of this nation-wide survey of 15ooo front-line cops. Their conclusion?

Quite clearly, the majority of officers polled oppose the theories brought forth by gun-control advocates who claim that proposed restrictions on weapon capabilities and production would reduce crime.

In fact, many officers responding to this survey seem to feel that those controls will negatively affect their ability to fight violent criminals.

Contrary to what the mainstream media and certain politicians would have us believe, police overwhelmingly favor an armed citizenry, would like to see more guns in the hands of responsible people, and are skeptical of any greater restrictions placed on gun purchase, ownership, or accessibility.

__________

UPDATE — Chief Acevedo responded to me (via Twitter) as to the poll I linked above:

Ah, yes…Art is much wiser than the average cop on the street, what with his ‘broader view’ than that of the men and women he leads. As one of my fellow tweeps wrote: out of touch with the cop on the beat.

UPDATE II — I guess while I was working, Chief Acevedo was still tweeting me:

Wait? Are we talking about Fast & Furious? Because what you just described in that last tweet, Chief, is exactly the scheme that Barack Obama and Eric Holder are guilty of. Were you in D.C. to arrest Obama for his role in the murder of Border Agent Brian Terry?

___________

Look, Art — I know you favor universal background checks because it makes your job easier. Especially when it’s time to start confiscating. Unwarranted wiretaps would also make your job easier. As would unreasonable searches and seizures. You know what else would make your job easier? If we could force suspects to talk against their wishes. Without an attorney present. Or if you could just plant evidence on a guy you just know is guilty, but can’t prove it. Perhaps if we made entrapment easier for you…

But these things are just as unconstitutional as the rest of Obama and Biden’s gun control fantasies. If you were half  a man, Art (you’re not), you’d surrender your badge and gun and just run for whichever Democrat office you happen to most covet at the moment (Austin Mayor?).

The video in this story is of Fox 7 News anchor Loriana Hernandez, who has a hard time masking her anti-gun/pro-gun-control bias, talking to my CHL instructor, Michael Cargill about universal background checks:

 

Everything That’s Wrong with #SXSW Music Festival Captured in a 2 Minute Video

 Posted by on 3/16/2013  6 Responses »

And this, in a nutshell, encapsulates every reason why I avoid not just SXSW, but 6th St. in Austin.

I hate crowds. I hate punks. I hate hipsters and hippies. I hate bad music.

And that’s almost entirely what you find on 6th Street on any given every weekend.

Now, don’t get me wrong…I have no problem with that bad-wig douchebag (Matt Amon?) who got knocked the fuck out after acting like a tough guy, trying to pick fights with what looked like a bunch of soft-dicked nancy boys. And watching him eventually escorted to jail in cuffs and having your shame go viral on Youtube? Priceless.

But the dude who sucker-punched the douche? Giant coward. I hope someone either knocked the shit out of him later, or he finds himself in a jail cell eventually. Want to be a good guy, and step in and stop this douche from bullying girly men who obviously do not want to fight? Then stand in front of him and back him down.

And then there’s the crowd themselves. Not one person stepped in to help the nancy boys getting bitch slapped (not counting coward sucker-punch guy). Instead, each and every person was more concerned with making sure they were getting the best video possible. And when the douche did eventually hit the ground and was obviously knocked out? Not a single person stopped filming to try and help the guy. Sure, he might have been a douche, but the moment his head was cracked against the concrete, someone should have tried to help him…make sure he’s breathing, make sure there’s not blood pouring out of the back of his head.

Until the police showed up, there was not a single decent human being in that video.

And that’s why I stay the hell away from downtown Austin.

NOTE: I am going to watch some live music today — a good friend of mine and a high school classmate (Leyla Fences) from long, long ago, is playing an early (1:00 p.m.) gig at one of my favorite south-side dive bars (Giddy Ups). So I’m going to ride over there (as soon as I hit “Publish” on this post) and enjoy some authentic cowgirl honkeytonk music and support an old friend.

Since the venue is about quite a ways out of downtown, there shouldn’t be too many douches hanging around. Plus, this isn’t exactly hipster/douche music (as it’s good music). Not to mention…at 1:00 p.m. most of the douches will still be asleep or trying to make bail from last night.

Travis County Commissioners Court Creates Ban on Something Else They Can’t Enforce

 Posted by on 1/30/2013  4 Responses »

Fresh off their disappointment of not being able to ban gun shows from taking place on county-owned property, the nanny-staters in the Travis County Commissioners Court felt like they just had to do something to flex their political might and inject their will into the lives of others.

So they passed a ban that prohibits smoking and all other tobacco use (dip, snuff, and chew) — a legal activity (for now) — on all county-owned property. To include outdoors.

The ban is extensive, outlawing smoking, chewing tobacco, vapor-emitting electronic cigarettes and other tobacco products from all county parks, parking structures and other properties, indoor and out, including the Travis County Exposition Center.

This includes some very large natural parks.Because someone hiking through the isolated and barely used Pace Bend Park (near my house) who is enjoying a dip of Copenhagen MUST BE STOPPED!

When I first read about the ban, my first thought was, “Have any of these commissioners ever been to the ROT biker rally?”, which is held at the county-owned Expo Center, and “how the hell do they think they’re going to enforce their no-smoking ban on 70K bikers who are camped out (out doors) for three days?

As it turns out, they have no intention of actually enforcing their new ban (reminds me of the law that requires the US Senate to pass a budget every single year, but doesn’t actually have an enforcement mechanism if they don’t). For large events at the Expo Center, such as ROT and the rodeo (and, ironically gun shows, which are getting to be bigger than either of those events), the Commissioners can “grant exemptions for major events at the Expo Center.”

Well then, they must be planning on enforcing it everywhere else, right? Nope:

Officials do not expect any enforcement of a ban beyond posting signs and decals on county properties, estimated to cost $8,080, most of which will be paid by the city of Austin.

In other words, it’s just a meaningless gesture from the Commissioners — one that will nonetheless still cost Travis County tax payers money to enact — meant to make it look like their doing something meaningful and important.

Instead they reveal themselves to be the fools and tools that we know them to be.

I’m at least hoping that my precinct’s commissioner, Gerald Daugherty — the only Republican on the court — voted against this idiocy.

Where in The World: Formula 1 (F1) Racing Comes to Austin

In case anybody is looking for me this weekend, I’ll be at the new Circuit of the Americas (COTA) all weekend watching Team Red Bull at the inaugural Formula 1 (F1) Grand Prix race this weekend.

I’m a huge racing sports fan. And this will be my first opportunity to watch an F1 race live, and I’m as excited as a kid on Christmas morning for this weekend’s racing events. I’ll be on the third row of Turn 15, which over looks several the triple corkscrew turns 13-14-15 and can look right down the long back straight away.

There were a lot of naysayers when this race and this track were announced. A lot of folks who said that there was no way Bernie Ecclestone could pull this off. Well…they were wrong.

R.I.P. Cpl. Juan P. Navarro — Austin Soldier Killed by IED in Afghanistan

Cpl. Juan P. Navarro

Cpl. Juan P. Navarro, R.I.P. my brother.

Another young Soldier, Cpl. Juan P. Navarro of Austin, killed in Obama’s bungled war in Afghanistan:

The Department of Defense announced today the death of a soldier who was supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.

Cpl. Juan P. Navarro, 23, of Austin, Texas, died July 7, in Kandahar, Afghanistan, when he was attacked with an enemy improvised explosive device.

Navarro was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash.

Get. Out. Now.

Cpl. Navarro, an 11B (infantry) had already completed a tour in Iraq. This was his first deployment to Afghanistan.

There isn’t any information yet on the Austin or the CenTex area Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) websites about riding in honor of this fallen hero, but I’ll likely attend to pay my respects to this Soldier and his family. I’m sick of riding in funeral missions for these young men. I look forward to the day when the only PGR missions I attend are for old retired and Veteran warriors who have died peacefully in their beds after a long, full life.

Monitoring the Local Media’s Twitter Accounts

 Posted by on 6/1/2012  1 Response »

A couple of local media tweets caught my attention today, and just wanted to call them out real quick.

First, from our reliably Liberal and exceptionally biased Texas Tribune:

[blackbirdpie id="208596763588829185"]

The insinuation by the Trib, obviously, is that Republicans are such racists, that we won’t vote for Hispanics based on nothing but their last name and heritage. Uh…dear Liberals: the only ones making that assumption are you Liberals and your comrades in the Liberal media. Where everything is about identity politics.

Here’s a news tip for the Libs at the Trib (to my knowledge there is not a single Conservative on their staff) — we don’t care if our Conservative candidates are Hispanic, black, male or female, young or old; we simply care that they are Conservative. It’s not Conservatives that create minority majority districts to ensure that otherwise completely unqualified and incompetent morons like Sheila Jackson Lee are elected.

That would be Democrats who care about that kind of shit.

And now for the second WTF? local media tweet of the day, this one from KVUE News:

[blackbirdpie id="208616698184609793"]

I tweeted KVUE back asking if this was a rhetorical question. Because I can’t even wrap my brain around how anybody could argue that, No, gender-based abortions shouldn’t be banned. That women should be able to murder the (most often) little girls in their wombs for no other reason than they’d rather have a girl.

Let you know what I think? Well, anybody who would kill the little girl in their belly because they wanted a little boy should never be allowed to have either. They are unfit — simply to immoral and selfish — to raise children of any gender. What I would like to see are those who tweeted you back and defended this indefensible act.

One of my favorite answers on this topic from KVUE’s Facebook page (by Brenda Beeler):

 Is this even a serious question? We in the US have always been shocked and disgusted by other countries that have practiced this for years. What kind of people are we becoming if we think this is acceptable on any level? The fact that this is even up for discussion in the US is abhorrent to me and should be to every other person. Have we really sunk this low?

 

Ryan Downton, GOP Candidate for State Rep in HD-47 Does What Our Current Rep, Paul Workman, Is Afraid to Do

…namely, man up and answer questions from his constituents. Even if he knows his answer will not be popular. But, still, much credit to Mr. Downton for at least being man enough (something Workman isn’t) to answer the question, and for doing so honestly.

Via a convo with the candidate last night on his Facebook page:

Ryan Downton answers my question

HD-47 GOP Candidate Forum This Thursday

 Posted by on 5/14/2012  No Responses »

I’ve been trying to ask my state Representative, Paul Workman (R – HD-47) a very simple question regarding an issue very important to myself and the other Conservative constituents in HD-47: whether or not he’s going to support Joe Straus for Speaker again.

I’ve asked (repeatedly) via Twitter and Facebook. I’ve emailed his campaign. I’ve called his office. NOTHING. No answer. It’s almost like Rep. Workman is afraid to face questions from his constituents. Especially when he knows that his views run counter to the views of most of the voters in his district.

I guess my last resort to get a straight answer from my Rep is to ask him face-to-face.

Hopefully I’ll get that chance on Thursday at the GOP Candidate Forum, which is being moderated by Craig Bushon from AM 1370. In addition to asking him if he is going to vote for Straus again, I’m also hoping to ask him why he’s ducking the question, and why he can’t simply be a man and answer the damned question.

Details, for those of you in HD-47 who’d like to get some answers to your questions:

Thursday May 17, 2012
6:30-7:30
At the new Circle C Community Center
7817 La Crosse Avenue, 78739

Mr. Downton has accepted the invitation and the committee is in communication with Mr. Workman’s campaign.

We will be broadcasting live on cbtvonline.com and craigbushonshow.com, so if you cannot attend in person you can watch or listen online.

Uh oh…Mr. Workman has yet to accept the invitation? Is the coward going to skip out on his constituents again?
