Chili Cheese Corn Dogs

Chili Cheese Flavored Corn Dogs are the perfect food.

It's a hot dog filled with cheese. on a stick, with a chili flavored corn batter coating. Food can not get any better!

I tasted my new found love at a food show and I immediately went to a food wholesaler and ordered a case. The cost was approximately fifty cents a chili cheese corn dog.

Not bad for the perfect food.

Halloween and Trick or Treating

It is Halloween and I will be Trick or Treating for maybe the last time. James is now 11 and quickly going on 12.  He is very close to mandatory retirement for Trick or Treaters.

Some parents may let their children T or T as long as they want, but I don't. One reason is; the boys in my family tend to shave at an early age and I refuse to take a mustached Ninja out Trick or Treating. The other reason is; we don't really need the candy bad enough to go door to door begging for it.

My kids have all the candy they ever need on a weekly basis so they pick through the Halloween candy for the "good stuff" and then the rest of it sits in the pantry till Christmas.

So it's time to retire and let the other kids in the neighborhood walk around getting the non chocolate items nobody wants.

So next year it will be a night and home followed by a day in Walmart buying all the left over candy at a huge discount.

Hey - I said the kids didn't need anymore candy - I never mentioned me!

The election is about choices

November 4, 2008 America again will choose a new President.

The choice is clear;

Barack Obama or John McCain

A black man or a white man (McCain)
A young man or an old man (McCain 72)
A Democrat or a Republican (McCain)
A hairy headed man or a bald man (McCain you aren't fooling us with the comb over)
A tall man or a short man (McCain - Five foot six)
A man born in America or a man born in a foreign country. (McCain - Panama Canal Zone)


These are stark and drastic differences but do they mean anything? I would say, maybe the party affiliation means something but the rest is irrelevant.

So what does matter?

Both these men are patriots. Why else would they forgo the millions they could be earning to serve in the U.S. Senate? So that's not an issue.

Neither of these men are socialists or communists or many of the other labels fear mongers have thrown around. So that's not an issue.

Both these men are Christians but in America, the God you choose, should not have to be the God I choose. Our land was founded by people fleeing religious persecution and apparently the persecutors have followed us here. Let's not allow them to chase us from another continent. Stand firm on your religious beliefs but allow me to do the same. If we do that, we can defeat the hatred of those believing to be holier than thou. So that's not an issue.

John McCain and Barack Obama both want what is best for America. They may differ in the means to the end but they seek the same goals.

This, I believe, is the issue.

John McCain wishes to use the methods of George Bush. Barack Obama chooses a path closer to Bill Clinton.

McCain will make the rich richer. Believing the rich will share their wealth with the lower classes through higher wages and better benefits.

Obama will financially empower the lower classes. Believing the less fortunate will share their money with the wealthy by being more active consumers.

It's a simple difference of opinion.

If you believe the Bush model worked over the last eight years then you should vote for John McCain.

If you believe the Clinton model worked better, in the previous eight years, than you should vote for Obama.

You are about to hire the next leader of the free world with your vote. You, just like any other employer, should stick to the questions which define a good steward for America. In other words -judge them by the criteria you would want judged. Not by their religion, not by their associates and especially not by the definitions of their opponents. Can you imagine ever getting a job if the employer based it on the views of the other applicants?

Judge them solely on their plan for America.

If we all do that, we can rest comfortably on Tuesday night, knowing we have picked the best man to lead The United States.

Computers and Halloween

I am happy to report that the mystery sound from my computer has stopped. I neither had it repaired or hit it with a hammer so how do I explain it?

Has to be Halloween and goblins.

Normally I do not take part in such nonsense but in this case it is obviously a super natural event that has taken place inside my computer. Either that or the part which was making the noise is no longer functioning. I don't like that option, so I am going with the ghosts and goblin theory.

Either way I can now again write with the hilarity of Twain. The yarn spinning of Hemingway. The wisdom of Franklin. The typing skills of Cheetah.

Computer warranty

I bought my computer's CPU (Central Processing Unit ) one year and 17 days ago. My warranty was for one year. Yesterday my computer started making this noise like a bicycle with playing cards in the spokes.

I would guess it is the cooling fan. I looked in the unit and it was still spinning. Maybe it's dirty? I took apart the case and blew it out with compressed air. Put it back together, started it up - same noise.

It does seem to be cooling, so what's a little noise?

Irritating - that's what it is!

The sound is driving me nuts.

Some people would say the sound is about twenty years too late. Those are not nice people, even if we do share a common last name.

Nuts or not, I do know it's hard to write with my usual brilliance. I must now resign myself to the fact I will have to put our mediocre blog posts, like the rest of the world, while the sound is distracting me.

So when you log in one soon morning and find one of my usual titillating posts about the merits of women golfers wearing short skirts you will know one of two things have happened.

1. I have taken in the computer to be repaired
2. I have had too much coffee today and hit the CPU with a hammer

One sounds more reasonable but two gets me a 320 gb hard drive 2 gb of ram and a bright new shiny motherboard.

I told you there is advantages to being addicted to coffee.

Cloris Leachman out on Dancing with the Stars

Cloris Leachman was booted from Dancing with the Stars last night and it couldn't of come soon enough. Now they just need to oust Susan Luchi.

Personal Things

I read over and over again - blogs are more popular if they contain personal things about the writer. Using the word "writer" when discussing bloggers is a stretch but lets pretend for a moment.

I believe personal items only make blogs more popular if the items are interesting. This of course is where Husband Thoughts falls short. Writing about my personal life is about as interesting as changing a diaper. There might be some kernels of corn in there but you have to sift through a lot of crap to find it.

My usual morning starts with coffee. Then I sit down to write.

So let's look at this process;

When I sit down to blog so far I have made coffee and drank coffee. Not exactly the makings of a great story. I could amuse you with the challenge of throwing away a wet filter full of coffee grounds. I could excite you with the way I fill the new filter with exactly four and a half scoops of new coffee. I could titillate you with the decision to use the sprayer to fill the reservoir instead of measuring it with the coffee tank, like the instructions detail.

None of these seems worthy of notice.

So what kind of personal items could I write?

I have no real drinking problem. I have no mental problem that has ever been confirmed. My family, though odd, is probably not much odder than yours. I do have a heart condition, but I treat it by ignoring it and not mentioning to anyone when my chest hurts. Not the best course of action but it saves me money on medical bills.

Again not the most interesting stuff.

So you are stuck with my endless blatherings about the unfairness of Dancing with the Stars. You are subject to my obsession with Paula Creamer's skirts.You must read my rantings about West Virginia football.

All, maybe not your cup of tea, but it is better than looking for corn any day of the week.

Carrie Ann Inaba

Dancing with the Star's judge Carrie Ann Inaba got it right last night when she lamented about Cloris Leachman still being in the competition and Toni Braxton being out.

Carrie Ann was right but she didn't mention that a great deal of blame rests on her. She was a champion of Cloris's nonsense and gave her inflated scores helping the octogenarian to stay around long after she deserves.


at least last night carrie ann tried to make it right by giving Leachman a closer to reality - 5. maybe now we can get the old bat off the show.

In bad news, blonde cutie Julianne Hough will miss some time with surgery to remove her appendix. She will be replaced by the slinky Edyta. Not a terrible trade off but Julianne is still our favorite.

"Dancing's" Hough to have surgery for appendix removal -- Newsday.com

Two-time "Dancing With the Stars" champ Julianne Hough, who was hospitalized last week with stomach pains, has been diagnosed with endometriosis and will undergo surgery to remove her appendix."After consulting with her doctor, this was the course of treatment that was recommended," a statement on Hough's Web site says, according to People magazine.Hough, 20, who also is a budding country music artist, announced last night that she will not dance with her partner Cody Linley in next week's show. Instead, Linley will appear with professional dancer Edyta Sliwinska, who was voted off with her partner, comedian Jeffrey Ross, earlier in the season.Endometriosis, a relatively common - but often painful - medical condition found in 5 percent to 10 percent of women, is the development of uterine-lining tissue outside the uterus on the surfaces of organs, such as the appendix, in the pelvis or abdomen.

ClubHusband wants your wife

Our wife picture pages gets thousands and thousands of hits a day but rarely a submission. Does that mean all of you who browse are shy? Maybe it means your wife is too ugly to share a simple picture of her doing anything.

You can send pictures of her in a bee suit, weeding the garden so it's not a case of modesty. I think it's a case of laziness. You guys are too lazy to upload a few pictures of the wife to show us all what a ladies man you must of been to land such a catch.

Speaking of landing catches........if your wife is uglier than a mackerel, why not send a picture of you catching a fish? Don't tell me your fish are modest too!

What about a deer? Have you ever bagged a buck?

Are you getting the idea?

We want your pictures!

Not because your life is so interesting but because a picture is worth a thousand words and it would cut my writing work load tremendously.

Yes I called you lazy, but we all know I am king of that territory, so please send!

Sunday and Sports

I will spend a tough day in front of my big screen television rooting Dale Earnhardt Jr to victory and keeping tabs on the NFL during cautions.

I know it is a hard way to spend a Sunday afternoon but someone has to do it.

I know I could be mowing my lawn or cleaning my garage but that would ruin my finely tuned reputation as the laziest man alive.

So with my reputation in mind, I will be eating ruffles potato chips and wielding a mean remote control from my perch on the couch.


I hope your Sunday is as tough as mine!

West Virgina Football

I know I have been surprisingly quiet as my West Virginia Mountaineers reeled off a three game win streak. The reason of course is because they looked terrible doing it. Some of the cause was injury to two time Big East player of the year Patrick White.

Last night they played a team from the SEC. The mere mention of those three letters give most coaches night mares. Thankfully Bill Stewart is not most coaches.

Stewart knows the SEC are bullies and the way to battle a bully is to stand and fight.

When confronted with a team which will fight, the powers of the SEC, use their much talked about speed to run around their opponent. This is why West Virginia has feasted on SEC teams the last few years.

No one out runs the West Virgina Mountaineers!

The Blue and Gold are a track team in helmets. Patrick White is a lighten bolt. Noel Devine is a 180 pound humming bird. The receivers are pure speed.

Last night, play after play the Auburn defence thought they had Noel Devine - they thought wrong. The young running back carried 17 times for 207 yards and one touchdown.

When Devine didn't have the ball Pat White did. White's foot speed is a legend in Morgantown but his arm is under rated and last night he showed it. After throwing only his second and third interceptions of the year Patrick picked part the Tiger secondary. The threat of him running makes defenses pause and that's all the advantage the Alabama born quarterback needed to surgically show the football world that the Mountaineers are ready to defend their Big East title.

October 23, 2008, on a brisk Thursday night in Morgantown, the Mountaineers beat the Auburn Tigers but they served notice to the Pitt Panthers and South Florida Bulls.

Patrick White, Noel Devine and a maturing young team, let the powers of the their conference know - until proven other wise, the Big East trophy still sings "Country roads, take me home to the place I belong West Virginia.........................."

Followers, subscribers and haters

I have recently put a gadget on the blog to show my many followers. Apparently I don't have a single fan who wishes to be identified. I know I have a few fans because I have a number of people who subscribe to Husband Thoughts. I am starting to think the only people who read my blog are husbands who are keeping it from their wives therefore they do not want to be publicly outed.

I can understand this feeling. I wouldn't want to let people know you read this drivel I produce either. In fact on occasion I have denied reading it myself.

It does surprise me that my followers list isn't populated with the many wives who hate ClubHusband. I thought they would try to intimidate their husbands by filling the followers list with their pretty faces or better yet how about mooning us?

I could live with all the hate mail I get if it was accompanied by shots of  hot little derrieres.

Sarah Palin....a well dressed moron

This morning's news is filled with Sarah Palin. Her $50,000 a month clothing allowance. Her using Alaska money to show her kids the parts of the U.S. that aren't "pro America". Her lack of knowledge of the Vice Presidency of the United States.

Sarah Palin has become a liability to the McCain campaign. In the latest poll conducted by that liberal rag, The Wall Street Journal, Palin out scored President Bush on reasons people aren't voting for John McCain.

I understand the poll because I actually entertained voting for the old war hero over the inexperienced young Senator. Then came Caribou Barbie. Her with her view of Russia from her porch (that is quite the eye sight). Her hunger to read everything in front of her. Her jumbling of the English language (where does the Republican Party find these wordsmiths?). You couple her, let's say, weak spots, with McCain's age and it's hard to pull the lever on the Republican ticket.

William Henry Harrison, the ninth President of our country, was only four years younger than Senator McCain when he was elected President. Thirty-two days later he died.

Can you imagine Sarah Palin, a woman who thinks the Vice President "runs" the U.S. Senate being President next February?

"You betcha" I can and it scares me!

Dancing with the Stars should be ashamed

Last night the unthinkable happened on Dancing with the Stars - Cloris Leachman stayed and Toni Braxton was voted off.

The judges should be ashamed. They continually give Cloris scores she hasn't earned just because she is still alive at the end of a dance. This seems nice on the surface but it is very unfair to the other stars.

So now they have  a show with only one really hot star, Brooke Burke, and resident cutie Julianne Hough. This is okay with me, because now with the lack of scenery, I can watch football, record Stars and fast forward through most of the show and all the commercials.

Tony Eury Jr and hunting

TONY EURY JR., CREW CHIEF OF THE NO. 88 NATIONAL GUARD/AMP ENERGY IMPALA SS: EURY (ON HIS GOALS FOR ATLANTA.): “We ran so well there the first race. We sat on the outside pole and ran very well at the start of that race, so we’re ready to get back there. I think that’s one of Dale Jr.’s favorite tracks. We want to get there, try to get on the pole and fix what we didn’t finish (in March). We had a super car there at the start of the race. I’m really looking forward to getting back there and trying again.”

EURY (ON HIS POST-SEASON HUNTING PLANS.): “I really look forward to the end of November because I can get to doing some hunting. I think we’ve got a trip planned to go hunting in Kansas with me and Dale Jr. and my uncles. I’m looking forward to that. By the time the season ends, you ain’t got but about six weeks so you try to get in all you can. Then I’m going to take my wife to Hawaii. Then Christmas. It’s like the season never ends. You’re constantly going somewhere every weekend.”

EURY (ON WHY HE ENJOYS HUNTING.): “It’s quiet. Just being out there and seeing what all goes on in the woods. I think it’s a wonderful place where we live. A lot of times I don’t go out there just to be shooting. A lot of times I like to go out there and just see nature doing its deal. If I can go out there and watch 30 deer for four hours, that’s a great deal to me. I could care less about shooting. It’s about being a part of it, being out in the woods watching squirrels jump around, armadillos walk around, foxes. The more I see, the more I enjoy my time, and that’s what I get out of it. This is so fast-paced, and you have to be constantly thinking about what you’re doing, coming up with new ideas. That’s a time when the pace really slows down, and you can honestly come up with a lot of ideas sitting out there in the woods. You’re by yourself. You’re just thinking. It’s just really calm and soothing.”

Dancing with the Stars

According to dialidol.com - Cloris & Corky, Toni & Alec and Susan & Tony are in trouble tonight. I hope it's Cloris. I could live with it being Susan. Voting Toni Braxton off before Cloris would be a crime.

Just because the judges, most notably Lynn Goodman, give Leachman allowances for being older than dirt doesn't mean the voters should. Cloris's act went stale weeks ago and it's time for her to exit gracefully.

If that can't happen maybe Warren Sapp will just throw her out a window and I can go back to eating dinners on Monday nights.

Last night, as usual Brooke Burke was the class of the field followed closely by Julianne Hough and that little twit she dances with. Julianne disappointed me with her Lucy Ball outfit but Brooke's plaid skirt and tied white shirt saved the night.

Even if Cloris survives tonight and Toni goes home at least it looks like Brooke Burke and Julianne will be around another week to compete with Monday Night Football for male viewership.

Monday is Dancing with the Stars

I am begging you people. No matter how she dances tonight please don't vote for Chloris. I don't care if she channels Ginger Rogers, for the love of God I can not take another week of that old bat stumbling through her dances and then listening to Lynn praise her.

I understand he wants a piece of her but do I have to be made to watch?

Sure I could change channels but then who would monitor Brooke Burke? Someone has to make sure there are no costume malfunctions. I have unselfishly volunteered to be an unofficial Brooke observer and as repayment I have to watch two senior citizens drool on each other?

That just isn't right!

Christopher's Birthday

Today is my son's birthday. Christopher is the second oldest son and the third youngest son. He is the tallest and the lightest, although TJ and John may dispute the height issue, no one disputes the weight.

Christopher is quiet with a sense of humor drier than dirt. He can make you laugh with the turn of a word and you are never quite sure if he meant to - until you see his sly smile mocking your doubt.

He is as calm as a winter night unless he is excited. Then his vocal delivery becomes a machine gun, never waiting for return fire, before delivering another barrage of words. Chris can be a whole conversation unto himself.

His memory is uncanny. He can recite an entire movie dialogue after seeing a film just once. He also can do the same with South Park episodes, WWE matches and Family Guy shows. A helpful tip - never ask him what he thought of a comedy if you haven't seen it. He will literally give you word for word every humorous moment. He could be handy if you wanted the condensed version of a movie, unfortunately he never condenses!

Christopher may never shorten his recaps but his life has flashed by, in an instant, to me.

Seems like moments ago, he was a nine pound thirteen ounce bundle of joy. Now he is 122 pounds of personality. His thick glasses of childhood somehow miraculously replaced by good vision. His six inhalers, for adolescent asthma, now is a Zyrtec taken for allergies. His youthful laziness at home is replaced by an employee who works hard at his job and is obviously respected in his work place.

Christopher is now a man but he will always be my boy. One of my top four favorite sons.

Saturday morning

It's Saturday and that means sports watching. Well usually it would. Today Dale Earnhardt Jr is not racing, West Virginia University is not playing football and Paula Creamer is not golfing.

So I am stuck with Georgia versus Vanderbilt in football or watching the NASCAR Nationwide race. Neither interests me for different reasons. The football because it's the SEC and I am tired of hearing about them every week of every football season. Every damn team in the league gets ranked then all the pundits say how good they are because they beat other ranked teams which of course were all SEC teams. Why is it never said that all the SEC stinks because all they do is lose to teams in their own conference. That is the opinion of the experts about the Big Ten and the Big East.

Then we have the Nationwide race. The race would be fun to watch if all the Sprint Cup drivers would leave the minor league to minor league drivers. Watching Nationwide is like watching Chipper Jones hit off AAA pitching. Sure, once in awhile, if a Sprint Cup driver comes down and races I am okay with it, but they shouldn't get points nor prize money for doing it. Pay them "show money" for drawing fans and that's it.

One more item......Paula Creamer the American hottie of golf is not playing today so the LPGA will not have the viewership but why does that mean only the Golf Channel is showing the women and it's at 8:30 PM ET ? Paula is not there but Anna Rawson is. She is the USC educated Australian fashion model with legs longer than Kevin Garnett's. I would click around tonight to catch her play - which by the way is getting better all the time - but I know the brain trust of the LPGA telecast will insist on showing me a 200 pound behemoth who shaves more often than I do. They have about us much marketing sense as my desk.

So it looks like I am going to have to mow my lawn and maybe weed whack my beds.

That should put me in a good mood!

Joe the plumber is my hero

Joe "the plumber" is not a wise guy from the Sopranos. He is a real life person from Toledo, Ohio. Joe Wurzelbacher like the rest of us has financial worries.

Joe is my hero because, while I worry how I will pay a guy like Joe the plumber if my water heater breaks, Joe is worrying about how much tax he will have to pay if he makes $250,000 next year.

It's okay though, don't feel sorry for Joe, he has a solution. He is not going to purchase the plumbing business, where he works, like he planned, because he would earn more than a quarter of a million dollars next year causing him to pay a few dollars more. A guy like Joe just doesn't need those kind of problems.

Instead, Joe will let the company be purchased by someone else. Joe, we expect will keep his job. Joe will continue to live in his 1800 square foot house in Toledo with bars instead of a screen door. Joe will continue to charge customers $50 to see his crack peeking from beneath their kitchen sink..

There aren't many men left in America who would do what you are planning.

Putting your political views ahead of helping your country even if it also meant helping your family live in a better life style. In today's America - Joe you are one of a kind.

Joe Wurzelbacher you are my hero and I bet Archie Bunker is your's.

Did you miss me?

I wasn't here yesterday and I wondered if anyone noticed. When I say - here - I mean at the computer. I was most definitely in the house. In Fact I was mostly in one room but it wasn't my office.

I am not going to say which room or why but I will give you some facts which might be used as clues.

Tuesday evening, the pork chops were still too frozen to cook.
Nothing else in the house sounded good.
We decided to eat out.
I wanted to eat at my favorite Mexican restaurant.
My wife wanted to eat at Shoney's because of a situation at work....no she doesn't work at Shoney's
She got her way.
Tuesday is steak night at Shoney's
Steak night means, a 12 oz T-Bone for 9.99 including buffet.
The steak was ordered med rare and came out well done.
The buffet didn't look too good but I ate mashed potatoes, fried apples, green salad with 1000 Island dressing and chocolate pudding from the buffet.
Eating a buffet accompanied by a steak that looked steamed is not a good idea.
I won't eat from the buffet at Shoney's ever again.
I am glad we bought a house with 2 and a half bathrooms.
I am most thankful one of those bathrooms is just feet from my bed.

These are the facts. You can draw your conclusion to where you think I might have been.

Earnhardt Jr. A Force To Be Reckoned With At Martinsville

"I think it's just the short track, and it takes a lot of finesse to get around there," Eury Jr. explained on why Earnhardt Jr. is that good at Martinsville. "He doesn't use that much brake. I think that's his whole deal. He lets the car roll a lot. We have a real good understanding of that track and what it's asking of us as far as forward bite. We have to make the car rotate in the center. You count a lot on your driver to help you out in a lot of situations. That's what we've all grown up on is these little short half-mile tracks, and we understand them very well."

Dancing with the Stars reveals secrets

I just want to say upfront my predictions about last night's Dancing with the Stars was right on the mark.

Brooke Burke's lovelies were out and looking quite lovely. Toni Braxton had less clothes on then Tarzan. Julianne Hough was looking better than both of them.

The surprising part of the evening was the show revealing both judge Lynn Goodman and contestant Cody Linley are gay. Sure they didn't come right out and say it but a blind man couldn't of missed the message.

Cody, the soon to be nineteen year old, who won the teenage lottery when he was assigned Julianne Hough as his partner couldn't concentrate on dancing in his practices. Couldn't concentrate on dancing with blonde hottie Julianne? If that doesn't scream light in the loafers, what does?

Then there is old and grumpy Lynn Goodman. Lynn's obvious disgust with Brooke Burke's dance was his tell. Brooke gave a performance, I assume, was TiVoed by strip clubs all over America to use as a training film. It was to exotic dancing what a Michael Jordan dunk was to basketball. A true gift from the heavens.

Brooke Burke may have kept on every thread of her scant outfit but it didn't matter. I, for once, agreed with judge Bruno when he said, "I need a cigarette after that dance".

So what will happen tonight? Like I said before. Rocco DiSpirito will be eliminated. I prayed for him to do well last night but obviously my message to God was jumbled with my thoughts of Brooke Burke because Rocco was terrible. To compound the situation, Chloris Leachman actually danced well for a lady 257 years old.

If she continues to dance like she did last night, she won't win, but at least I can go back to eating solid food on Monday nights.

U.S. to invest in banks

The United States of America will invest 250 billion dollars in banks. The first of the monies will go to the largest nine banks.

I am glad to hear this because, unlike me, who has a middle class family income, the large banks need money. After All how can those poor people make it without welfare?

Why is it when we give a single mother 340 dollars it's a social sin, that will hamper her initiative to thrive, but doling out billions to financial entities worth trillions is a good thing?

Isn't a bank investment plan just corporate welfare rewarding bad decisions? Won't it hamper their will to make profits?

Instead of baling out the banks we should just let them go broke. With no money in their vaults we would all be bouncing checks and they could then charge us $32 per check and be right back in business.

It's a perfect plan!

It's based on the age old practice of charging us for record keeping mistakes when our financial situation is at it's most fragile point. For years and years banks have thought it was necessary to fine us dozens of dollars even if our mistakes were in cents. Their moral and financial superiority being their justification.

Now we have seized the moral and financial high ground and I have some questions;

If we "give" them 250 billion, when can we expect it back?

Do the banks have collateral?

Are they signing a promissory note and what is the interest rate we are charging?

I understand some of the 250 billion is actually in the form of loan guarantees so the big banks can feel comfortable to lend to small banks. If this is the case - why don't we just give the money to the small banks?

If they are in trouble and we are giving them money does that mean they will follow suit and lend failing small businesses money to survive?

I read some where, America is 10 trillion dollars in debt. Where are getting the 250 billion dollars? Can I have some of it? A cool million should take care of my problems.

Next time some one bounces a check can we just take it off the bill the bank now owes us?

I think these are all fair questions. I also think that after years and years of treating people like dirt and offering absolutely no service, banks should be allowed to fail. I believe in my version of the Golden Rule. Treat others as you have been treated.

There was a time in my life when money was tight and I deposited my check then went to buy food. My check written on a local bank was accepted gladly by my bank. After all it was the same check to the penny I had been depositing for months. It was written by the same person. It was from the same account, from the same bank, it always had been.

I wrote a check for food. I then wrote checks to my utilities. I filled the car with gas. All the checks bounced. My bank decided this time they would not credit my account until the check cleared.

They said, "it was a policy they usually don't enforce".

Seven checks bounced. They charged me $32 per check for a total of $224. You can imagine how helpful this was in a time I needed every penny I was earning.

I could of used a helping hand and the bank decided, not only to leave me lying on my financial back, but to step on me as they walked by.

So I believe we should let the banks fail. In this time of computers if a bank fails and our money is insured just simply make the bank transfer the money to the nearest "safe" bank.

I think while we have the banks down and almost out, instead of a hand up, we should give them a swift kick to the groin.

I don't know about you but I owe them one.

Monday is Dancing with the Stars

Tonight is Dancing with the Stars. For those of you who don't know - dancing is a celebrity filled PG rated strip show shown on ABC.

My predictions for tonight are;
Lynn will be grumpy
Carrie Ann Inaba will be a total b1tch
The other judge, Bruno, will spew dialogue even my closed caption can't comprehend

As far as the contestants;
Brooke Burke will show her two perky beauties to us while dancing very well.
Toni Braxton will be half dressed while dancing competently.

The only other person worth watching is Julianne Hough the blonde cutie who year after year steals the show from the celebrities.

I, again, hope I can keep dinner down while Chloris Leachman stumbles through her routine but bet on Rocco being voted off no matter how he dances.

It's not fair but it will happen.

Good mail and bad mail

Notice how the economy dictates how you feel about mail? In this dumpster of an economy any mail without a bill is good.

I just went the 125 feet to the mail box and received three political mailers from Mitch McConnell. (FYI- I wouldn't vote for the mealy mouthed Senator for dog catcher.) I also retrieved two flyers from women's clothing stores. One addressed to the wife another to one of my sons. Normally women's clothing stores,sending flyers to one of my sons, would bother me but right now as long as it's not a bill for a sun dress and Sunday bonnet, I am good.

Life and the blogs

To truly write a good blog you must believe you have a life worth writing about. As you all know this is where my life falls short. I have no great events. I have no fascinating characters. It's just me, my sons, my wife, two Boxer dogs, a Cockatoo, a chimp and my midget.

Not exactly the makings of a great novel or a small blog.

This must be the reason, half my readers, come here for the pictures of Paula Creamer, Jessica Biel and the other young beautiful women I post. The other half I assume come here because they are lost on the information super highway. Yes, my blog is the equivalent of a Hess station in the middle of New Jersey.

My blog, like said Hess station, is a fine place but it isn't exactly the destination you were looking for. I know this because the search terms that bring you here refer to Jessica Biel being nude or Jessica Simpson being topless. I don't have either of those pictures and if I did I wouldn't share them.

So look at the pictures I do have or try our main site clubhusband.com.

It might not be what you were looking for but we do have clean restrooms and free maps!

Wednesday morning and Fall Break

This week is "Fall break" for my kids. What a ridiculous thing! The town we live in sends our kids back to school in the first week of August then gives the children a break in October? Why not just send them back on a decent date then have them go more than 10 weeks without a vacation?

I could understand it if it was hunting season. That would make sense.

I now have all my new appliances I didn't purchase at Best Buy properly installed. The oven is level. The refrigerator is in it's place. The dishwasher is working. The big screen TV is showing nose hair I didn't realize Howie Mandell had. That guy has more hair in his head than on it!

For those of you who know - my female Boxer, Christmas is doing fine. She had a mast cell tumor removed from her hind leg. Yesterday they had to go back in to expand the margins. This means they didn't get all the cancer the first time. They are confident they got it all this time. She now has a six inch scar on her leg. Maximus - the male Boxer - is not sure of what's going on but I think he is relived he didn't go on the ride yesterday after seeing what happened to her.

It's now six months of chemotherapy but she should live out a full life.

Dancing with the Stars

Misty May Treanor, the Olympic volleyball player was hurt and had to bow out of Dancing with the Stars. This move apparently has saved Rocco, the chef, for one more week. It was announced last night, he finished last this week.

I don't know who is voting for Chloris Leachman to stay but next time she makes me throw up they are cleaning it. This old bat is disgusting.

Obama can't keep a secret

Last night Senator Obama told America, if he is elected President, and he gets actionable intelligence, Bin Laden is in Pakistan, he will send American service people into Pakistan to locate and terminate Bin Laden, whether the Pakistanis like it or not. He is being criticized by the talking heads all over the morning shows for this statement, most notably Joe Scarborough.

I didn't realize this was a secret.

Is there a man, woman or mature child in America who disagrees with this policy? Are the Pakistanis so naive as to think we will not follow Bin Laden through the gates of hell to kill him? I was under the impression this was public knowledge.

I guess I am in the minority when I say, I think we should let other countries know our intentions then follow through. Maybe it is from being raised in the age of Billy Jack, the Green Beret, Indian, movie character who would say, "I am going to take this right foot and kick you square in the face and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it." Isn't it about time America flexed it's consider muscle instead of pacifying and coddling adversaries?

I'll even go a step further, so you understand me. If I ever get into rifle range of any person who plotted an attack that cost America thousands of lives, I will pull the trigger.

I expect our President to do the same.

I don't care if it happens in Pakistan, Iran, London or Topeka Kansas.

Sarah Palin is a good looking moron

Sarah Palin has not only the looks of a retired "adult film" actress but she has the brains too. Her awe shucks - I am a hockey Mom act is getting old. Listen lady if you don't know who is leading Russia you need to politely get out of the race.

It's now obvious your comparison to a pit bull was about your mental capacity being that of a canine.

By blaming "the main stream media' for your problems you are misguided. You should be placing blame on the schools you attended.

Every interview you do makes you sound like a kid faking his way through an essay question.

Unfortunately America is in a bit of economic trouble and these kind of problems can't be winked away by an over aged high school cheer leader who won the governorship by promising to carry energy drinks in the soda machines.

Your political support by everyone, except the reddest of states, is dropping faster than the Dow Jones Average. Your portrayal of being the average woman worked for an instant. Then people realized they liked you because you were like them and they too have no business being Vice President of the United States of America.

I am sure, hockey Mom's are just like the Little League Moms I know. Wonderful people but if the President passes I wouldn't turn to them to run the country. They can't figure out what an ERA is, let alone the inner workings of a G8 summit.

So Sarah, I am sad to say, your fifteen minutes of fame are over. Please exit the building behind Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson.

Brooke Burke: Misty May Is ‘Out of’ DWTS - PEOPLE TV Watch

It looks like Dancing with the Stars will be down one competitor when it airs Monday night.
Misty May-Treanor, 31, has injured herself and is out of the competition, her castmate Brooke Burke confirms.
“It’s such a sad situation,” Burke said Monday during a radio interview on 104.3 MY fm’s Valentine in the Morning. “She did hurt her Achilles tendon. I don’t know if she tore it or she ruptured it. It happened this week. She’s out of the competition, I mean, just like that.” For More.........Brooke Burke: Misty May Is ‘Out of’ DWTS - PEOPLE TV Watch

Paula Creamer wins Samsung by one

I am not going to get into the details of  Paula Creamer winning the Samsung World Championship. She obviously did it by scoring lower than her nineteen opponents. If we were keeping score she would also get bonus strokes for appearing to be the All American girl. Why hasn't anyone put her on a Wheaties box yet? If this young woman is not the epitome of a beautiful, American, female athlete, who is?

Sure she doesn't take her clothes off. Sure she doesn't cause controversy. That is why she is our favorite golfer. She just plays golf very well while looking very good. Her fashion may or may not be what is in style - we have no idea - but we like it. No old lady shorts for Creamer, no goofy visors, just ball caps, usually pink and the same things all women her age wear.

Congratulations Paula Creamer and thank you for being you. Pink clubs and all!

YMCA of the Desert and United Way of the Desert

Jessica Simpson

I forgot to mention this week - Jessica Simpson was on Dancing with the Stars. Maybe I didn't forget as much as I didn't want to remember.

Jessica, Jessica, Jessica, do you think us men were watching because of your voice? No, Jessica we were watching to see your ample cleavage. You may think that black cover up thing was fashion, we think it was a reason to channel surf until Brooke Burke came back on stage. The only redeeming part of your performance Jessica  was the way you brushed your lips back and forth across the mic. It reminded us why Tony Romo puts up with your dumb ass.

Miss Simpson, you have a nice enough voice but it isn't the two reasons men will watch you sing. Take a clue from Kellie Pickler and use what you got or in Kellie's case use what you bought.

It may not make you artistic but it will make you rich.

Friday morning

Bad news for me and Best Buy. My dishwasher is leaking. This is bad news for me because my wife wants a stainless steel dish washing monster that will take the silver plating off the flatware. It's bad news for Best Buy because it is another $1000 I won't be spending with them.

A few months ago I would of simply drove to Best Buy, like I always have and bought a dishwasher. Now, after the excellent service I received with my lap top, I will drive to any where but Best Buy and purchase a dishwasher.

Best Buy may not care but it gives me a little satisfaction every time I make another purchase with their competitors. Unfortunately I have been very satisfied lately. I won't bore you with the complete count but this week alone is going to be a range, refrigerator, big screen TV and dishwasher.

I haven't been this satisfied since Colonel Sanders put in a buffet.

Dancing Kicks off Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian was not going to win Dancing with the Stars but to kick her off before Chloris Leachman is a crime. The voluptuous Kardashian did show some promise and looks a lot better than Leachman who often makes me want to throw up.

If you people who vote, won't rid Dancing of Chloris for me, do it for her partner. Imagine the pain he is going through!
