Warrior’s Machete

Hello warriors.

It has to be a difficult choice: Sluts or a Saint? Use print space and TV time to cover the sick behavior of psycho, suicidal, pop-culture sluts or revere this country’s Founding Saint’s birthday? Nah, scratch that — it wasn’t a difficult choice. No need to lie to ourselves, here. This country’s Media has for a long time easily whored itself out to irreverence, indecency, and American disloyalty.

We’re told that it’s President’s Day. That’s a lie. Even going by the dry, official ink on the Federal Office of Personnel Management books, it’s still titled George Washington’s birthday.

Here’s the official history of the holiday. Since the last full year of George Washingtons’ Presidency, the holiday was celebrated in commemoration of his birthday. According to the old style calendar in use back then, he was born on February 11. However, according to the calendar that has been used since at least the mid-18th century, most Americans have celebrated his birthday on the 22nd.

Along came Abraham Lincoln, another revered president and fellow February baby (born on the 12th). The first formal observance of Lincoln’s birthday took place in 1865, the year after his assassination, when both houses of Congress gathered for a memorial address. Lincoln’s Birthday did not become a federal holiday like George Washington’s, but it did become a legal holiday in several states.

In 1968, legislation (HR 15951) was enacted that affected several federal holidays. One of these was Washington’s Birthday, the observation of which was shifted to the third Monday in February each year whether or not it fell on the 22nd. This act, which took effect in 1971, was designed to simplify the yearly calendar of holidays and give federal employees some standard three-day weekends in the process.

While the holiday in February is still officially known as Washington’s Birthday (at least according to the Office of Personnel Management), it has become popularly known as “President’s Day.”

Don’t expect to be told the truth by those — including even Federal Office of Personnel Management employees! - who butter their bread making political correctness and historicism matter more than the truth.

I have a problem with a couple things, here. Let me tell you what I think.

For starters, both the reason for revision and the absence of solitary observance for Washington’s birthday are flagrant insults to the original blood, sweat and tears undertaking of the Founding.

What kind of nonsense is it that we use the birthdays of those American pioneers who labored the hardest and sacrificed the most, to secure us the freedoms, comforts and conveniences that we all enjoy today, “to simplify the yearly calendar of holidays and give federal employees some standard three-day weekends in the process”? Is that not disrespect in its most demeaning form? What pompous gratitude we extend: “You ancestors of ours really busted your butts your whole lives. Literally, you gave until the grave. Now let us take your much deserved break for you on our frequent, government-subsidized, three-day work holidays. And while we do, we promise to forget the importance of all you did for us.”

Next. Martin Luther King can have his own self-titled birthday recognized as a National Holiday, but not our country’s First President? Should I go on? Should I have to? Do I want to? Will I? You bet your ass I will.

Let’s see if I understand this correctly. Or should I say, let’s see if I can get to anywhere near a “correct understanding” of this piece of nonsense by, first, understanding it sensically using political-incorrectness?

Martin marched a few times from Selma, AL to Montgomery, AL. It’s only about 40 miles and he walked along paved roads with security escorts and modern comforts and conveniences. He wrote a few jailhouse letters, plagiarized a great many speeches, and played up his last name “King” as if he was ONE. He led his best rally amid the monuments of Washington, DC. He preached proper, righteous behavior while he at the same time committed adultery many publicly verifiable times — oh, and he had “a dream.” One to see a race of people freed completely from discriminate oppression.

Washington trekked through miles and miles of uncharted territory on horseback and foot with nothing but his balls, his blankets, his musket and other primitive 18th century means. In his mid- 40’s he left his wealthy wife and secure estate lifestyle and rode off on horseback into a presumably unwinnable Revolution where he threw himself time and time again directly into the line of fire and afforded himself no special privileges. He practiced what he preached and he fell to his knees and prayed for the courage and discipline and restraint to not be so weak in his manliness to fail so again. He wrote eloquent letters, authored his own speeches, and scribbled down his own moral guide consisting of 101 Rules of Civility (at the age of 16), all of them using a bottle of India ink and a bird’s feather while under the light of a lantern or a fireplace fire. He refused to be a King when he could have been, causing even King George III to remark, ““If true, then he is the greatest man in the world.” And those monuments in DC? His name and his life made it all possible. Oh, and he, too, had “a dream.” One to FREE ALL Of MANKIND from ANY kind of tyranny, then and forever.

Pick your hero, gentlemen. When the comparisons are made it is clear that our GREATEST American is NOT being honored with the respect and reverence he so deserves. In our public sphere, we are repetitively guilefully coaxed to honor makeshift mediocrity rather than timeless magnificence.

In my humble, brazen, unassailable opinion (built on and up from the truth and only the truth), if our Founder’s had known the memory of what they’d do would not have any peace in its rest, perhaps they wouldn’t have worked as hard and sacrificed as much as they, indeed, did. They believed their posterity was worth it. Too bad we don’t think their ancestry is.

No, I’m not a scholar or historian on George Washington or the Founding Times and others who lived then. But neither do I need to be. Like the understanding I need, and can easily acquire, to well-enough grasp the workings of our American government and know when our Constitution is being undermined and my constitutional rights are being violated and stolen, none of what I (or any other American) can know about George Washington, to determine the man’s magisterial general character, is difficult to put together. Neither is it supposed to be. Although the pinheads and pundits do plenty of sophistic work to lead us common folk with great commonsense to believe that an understanding of anything having to do with our government — its offices, its history, and its leaders — is supposed to be difficult, the truth is the opposite. Not one bit of it is difficult to understand. Although the cerebrally-bloated intellectuals try their damnedest to convince the population otherwise, none of the knowledge about how it all works and what history can reveal to us is beyond our own Creator-endowed powers of reason (unalienable right). Of course, the difficulty for many people lies in choosing to use this incredible faculty to know what they need to know. If that is your “difficulty,” see a shrink. I can’t do the work to think for you.

To put it through with blunt force, George Washington was a Great man. By any standard, even a perfect one, he was. He, along with the other Founding People, set the absolute heroic role model that ALL Americans should learn about and emulate today.

It’s been a mentoring habit of mine for a long time to tell young people, especially the young punks all full of themselves who’ve not only never done anything great but rarely see anything all the way through to completion, “There are people who have done much greater things than ANY of us living today.” George Washington is one of these Great people. For me, he tops the list. He is MY hero.

I’ve told the story many times before. Throughout my life, I’ve been positively influenced by a handful of individuals. But whenever I was asked who I would consider a hero, there was never any one individual I could point to. It was only after my unique experience in sports entertainment portraying a hero figure for many young kids, spending the last dozen years of my life giving attention and study to classical mentoring, and discovering a love for American history and subsequently the heroism and brilliance of the Founding times, that I came to call George Washington the foremost heroic figure of ALL time. Although one of the many Founding people I consider Great, George Washington embodies the model of hero most notably –and most nobly. He set a transcendent standard of masculinity, integrity, honesty, and courage like no other.

He not only set the standard all Presidents who would follow him should strive for, he also set the standard, through his speeches, for how the American people must behave and what responsibilities they hold if America’s unique form of Republic government was to survive. CON-servatives talk ONLY about how Conservatism needs another Ronald Reagan. But what America truly needs is another George Washington.

The timing of ALL the Founding people’s lives is prophetic. I have to tell you, for me, George Washington’s life and its story deserves the same, if not more, reverence than even the man called Jesus Christ and his story. George Washington was, after all, a God and a warrior.

I know, I know — keep it to yourself. I’m a blasphemous SOB. Tell you what. They say there is power in prayer. So you gather all your born-again friends to collectively pray for my demise. If I kick it, then the few hundred thousand that come around here will immediately be become loyal and fatihful converts. Deal?

Each of us must decide for ourselves — about everything. I have.

Each of us must, also, decide how deeply we believe — about everything. I have.

I truly believe America’s Founding was Created by Our Creator. I think it’s incredibly funny how those (especially CON-servatives) who claim to be committed to their belief in a Creator casually pick and choose what individual things they think he Created, when the truth is He Created everything. From the moment He set all of Creation in motion, He destined IT ALL, including the destiny of America and the lives of the Founding people at that time. I believe this. You don’t? Fine. Be a fool — and a hypocrite.

“We measure [them] by the courage and character they have, the resolve they show…he had the heart, determination, and the bravery he showed while under such challenging circumstances was so admirable…”

Who is “they”? Who is “he”? You first think it is a soldier, right? Wrong, “them” is “horses,” and “he” is Barbaro. ABC’s Good Morning America lead with the “sad” story of him being euthanized. The story ran exactly 9 and one-half minutes. The next story was about the war in Iraq. The coverage lasted 1 minute and not one second had anything to do with, “We measure [them] by the courage and character they have, the resolve they show…he had the heart, determination, and the bravery he showed while under such challenging circumstances was so admirable…” No, the whole segment was all to do with the “resolve” the insurgents have. Ladies and gentleman, and 12 year old transsexuals, our-enemies-within are inspiring a future world where we humans will soon be out to pasture, as we will fondly remember was once done to the real beasts, not the rational animals. I’m looking forward to it, actually. Being a full-time Stud living a life of leisure and pleasure might not be so bad after all.

Oh, the damn weather. According to celebrity weather scientists without a scientific weather agenda, we all only have about 10 years left. This is actually a good piece of news. Because I was just wondering a couple of days ago just how much more of this Earthly nonsense I can take before I crack and exterminate some other human beings along with me as I go down in full blaze of glory. And the first one I was going to take out was our irritating, undependable local weatherman who can’t correctly forecast the weather for even 10 minutes from now, let alone the next 10 years. Since we ALL only have so much time left, my anxiety to annihilate others has “melted,” so to speak, and I’ve decided to just ride this “final tidal wave” of existence out (pun intended). May as well trade my guns in on some surfboards. I do, though, think it is true. The World is warming. It’s the heat of anger those of using our minds have for the bs and lies. It’s so funny. We won’t control the power we have to control our own human Creation, i.e, being human beings with Free Will and the power to choose, but we think we can control the powers of ALL of Creation and what IT is going to do. Frankly, I think some scientists out there stumbled across a bag of some pro-wrestler’s steroids and have been eating and injecting them. I mean, the ego of some people just amazes Me, excluding My Own, of course.
20/20 has a poverty special on this Friday. Diane Sawyer said, “So many people have stopped me on the street to tell me how much they appreciate ABC’s coverage of this issue.” Sure. That’s what Manhattanites do — take time to talk about how they appreciate specials on poverty, while they scream. “F’ you, get out my way, I’ve only got so much time today to work at banking my next million.” Coverage of poverty is nothing new, it’s just that those who do the specials beseeching us common folk (typically very charitable) to cure it don’t do anything at all about it, themselves.

Even by radical liberal skewed standards, there are 37 million in poverty, at poverty, below poverty…whatever, claiming to be down and out financially. To make the point I want to here, it really doesn’t matter what description you choose or even what number, pump it up by 3 times. Go ahead. At that number we are talking 100 million people, let’s say, for the sake of this poignant point I want to make. That’s 1/3 of the US population. My question, with all the guilt-ridden concern these liberal socialists have, why don’t they step up and cure poverty, themselves? Oprah doesn’t have $37 million, 100 million? Oh, that’s right. She has it but only for her racist ventures in Africa, like the school only for less fortunate black girls; what, there aren’t less fortunate white girls? asian girls? swedish girls? russian girls? She can’t get Bono, Madonna, Warren Beatty, Brad Jolina and Angie Pitt, and George Clooney and all the other harebrained entertainment millionaires to grasp the simple math? Together they can save the World from everything!! Hell, just buy Africa! Build your own Country. Why don’t they? What about brilliant, wealthy people who are very good at math? People like Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. They invest money and build computers — what, they don’t have a $2 calculator to do the math? They don’t have the money between just the two of them to simply hand over the pocket cash and cure poverty in this country, maybe the whole World, once and for all?

Hell, give the 37 million people in poverty a million bucks each and tell them to have a nice life. Go ahead, try it. You know why they don’t? Because they know it would fail for “oh, so obvious reasons”; less than a year later most of those impoverished people would still be living lives of poverty. You know why and so do I. We’ll save its discussion for later.

This example I provide here tells nothing about how many billions our government spends on social programs. You know what the truth is there? The truth is: if we just equally divided ALL the money — first, confiscated from those of us who generate it — among those who get it through the distribution of social programs, they’d ALL be rich by our own standards of what rich is! Again, our cheap amusement at watching the dumb-butt dog chase it’s own tail has us all paralyzed and speechless. For those of you amazed at this brilliance I’ve just displayed by using my simple common sense (yes, of course, I am also a wizard at math), you’ll enjoy this Katrina piece I wrote. It tells another truth: when it comes to government, “rich” and “poverty” are only what they ARE depending on what those in government claim them to be — and that, my friends, is subject to change at any given moment.

Did any of you catch that story about that Black college professor (I think that was his title) who called upon all the other blacks to exterminate white people!! That kind of person is despicable and extremely dangerous to this country. I value freedom of speech, much like what Warrior does here on his webpage/blogs, but there has to be a limit or some kind of restriction against inflammatory hate-speech like that. This person has no idea of how to co-exist with other races and what it REALLY means to be an American. Someone like that, who is so clearly racist should be excommunicated right out of this country pronto! After all the struggles in America’s history to establish equal rights, individual rights and freedoms and promote peace, stability and American values, this peace of trash comes along and starts spitting out that kind of venom. Disgusting to say the least. I’d like to get your opinion on this Warrior.

W- Just a quick comment on this, here, for all to see. The political correctness, capitulated to by politicians and THEIR self-indulgent, “my good friend across the aisle” political environment, is what has caused the toleration of this bs. This is America and, here inside this country, “American” is the standard by which all other non-American prejudices are to be judged. Those charged with protecting American ideals, principles, OUR American rights, and our DUE prejudice in American national sovereignty have surrendered. For three years, I participated in activism with organizations that claim they want to eradicate it, but they punch back like sissies and when the heat gets too hot, they cower into the fetal position. They conduct polls that show p/c (and moral relativity) is the greatest danger we face, but secure in their lucrative paychecks and beltway power, they leave the inevitable, future “shit hitting the fan” battle to the next generation (their children and ours). Blacks can have their own ALL Black ventures, Black TV, Black Ms. America, Black Caucus (in our American gov’t that IS ALL the People’s gov’t!) and on and on. Go do something “White”…write us when you, both, get out from under paying your legal bills and spending time in jail.

The best answer I can give you is to teach your children the difference between “prejudice” and “racism.” The former a necessary good thing; the latter flatout wrong. If I held the power, I’d do as Michael Savage (hardcore and right (correct) in his thinking about what to do and ripped off by other Conservative radio personalities) has spoke of — use the RECO laws and, also, bring them up on charges of treason; starting with the ACLU. Unless, we TAKE back, without doubt or ambiguity, WHAT AMERICA TRULY WAS, the only way to prevent a future revolution would be that there is an ENTIRE, top to bottom, regeneration of individuals who overtake (through the political process, not revolution) ALL government at the same collective time and turn back the clock. One politician at a time will not make it happen; for, sadly, when “one at a time” go into DC on their own, they lose their “original(ist) constitutional” (true Conservatism) way.

Hello warriors. Moderated some comments below for fun. Thanks for engaging the blog.

PODCAST BELOW!! Please provide feedback about whether it works or not. I just ran it after uploading it and ran the ‘volume’ through my ‘built-in’ computer speakers (having run it during the production through headphones and great quality external speakers) and even when on high the volume was not loud, so better sound is, maybe, through headphones or external speakers, depending on your own ‘built-in’ system. No worries — will get all worked out for next time. CAUTION!! Engage sense of humor for this Test Podcast! Enjoy!!

Someone wondered in a comment, “Are you the Anti-Christ?” No, I’m the real deal. I am Him — God. Did you really believe it when I said He was sitting next to Me eating My Power Bars? I was spoofing on Myself. I was actually looking in a mirror at Myself when I stated that and was talking only to Myself. Posing all day in the mirror as I work is good for definition; it not only keeps My skin thin, it keeps My Ego large. You can never have enough of both. Take it from Me, GOD. Besides, why do you think I capitalize the first letter in all the pronouns in all My posts? I.e., Him, Me, My, Myself… Jeez, get up to speed, man.

   January 11th, 2007 at 7:19 am eI believe many of your comments are jocular and irrational. Being a productive and content student, I believe in justice, rationality, morality and ethics as the building blocks of living a respectable life style. However, judgementality appears to blind your mind of the real problems in our society. I’ll be the first to admit, I havent indulged myself in reading all of your political and social views yet, but what I have read makes me consider you as a closed minded individual.I hope to indulge myself into more readings concerning your political views. Everything said is in all due respect.Thank you

W - Jocular, sometimes, sarcastically so; irrational? –NEVER!! You believe in “justice, rationality, morality and ethics as the building blocks of living a respectable life style” but you FEEL “judgementality…blind[s] your mind of the real problems in our society?” Your contradictions are the REAL PROBLEMS in our society! What, exactly, Mr. “productive and content student,” do you think “justice, rationality, morality and ethics” and “living a respectable life style” DEMAND? NOT JUDGING? They ALL DEMAND JUDGING!! But I really do appreciate you so eloquently putting it into words. I added it to one of my speeches to add dramatic effect to better point out the lunacy of you “productive and content student[s].” If you are ever near one of my speaking engagements, stop by and introduce yourself. I’ll take the podium and crush it over your skull and let you illustrate YOUR blind judgmentalism as you attempt to NOT recognize the moral, rational pain and blood. Likewise, I extend to you the RESPECT you and your ideas DESERVE.

Good Mornin there sir,
Well i’m a first timer and I’ve been wanting to say something to you since I was 10 years old watchin your match with Hogan all those years ago at Skydome.
I’ve been a loyal fan of yours, and was inspired to become a warrior all my own and after watching your 1.5 hour long interview, and Just finished reading your long Message here, I have to say you are still truly inspiring, I am an Ex P.P.C.L.I. soldier and was involved in this war 2 years ago, until an Injury forced me to early retirement. and I agree with everything you had to say. Personally I want this war to end, losin too many friends out there.
Keep it real my man

Gabriel

W - Thank you for your service — AND ANY OTHER SERVICE PEOPLE who have visited Warrior’s Machete — thank you for serving our country and securing the freedoms we have. My family and I salute you.

   January 12th, 2007 at 3:05 pm eWarrior, as to th death penalty, I have to agree with you to a point. I told you once that the death penalty was failure as a deterrent in this nation, one just needs to look at the violent crime rates to see that. However, it fails because it is not something criminals fear. Like you, I say, make it brutal, and televise it. Perhaps if we showed a convicted child killer/rapist being drawn and quarterd on national TV someone might think twice before harming another child in this nation. Of course, right no we even give those on death row free health care so we can kill them later…..As far as the concept of collateral damage….the children, etc….We take great measures in this nation to make sure that things like Dresden nevr happen again. However I do not think there has ever been a war fought (other than Grenada, lol) where some innocents were not harmed. That being said, look at our enemy here. The radicals in that world simply view the death of children as more “blessed terror.” Talk to the soldiers who are home on leave from the war as I have done. When they are given orders and decisions are made, the lives of innocents are taken into account, and worked to be protected. In war, people die. While it would be nice to think that we could walk in and achieve military victories without a single death, reality doesn’t work that way. After all, Sampson killed ALL ages of Phillistines, didn’t he?Be well,Sponge

W- hello Sponge. Death penalty works if it is used violently and expeditiously. Look at other countries who, say, cut hands off thieves; yes, these are dictatorships and I am not condoning IT, but quick, severe punishment does work to deter misbehavior and crime. Think, if you will, about the first time you stuck your hand in fire as a kid — that was it. No more. Any desire to try that again was immediately removed from your childish “I’ll try this for curiousity’s sake” list. The consequences were too immediate and severe. First Class service even in solitary confiinement is better – so the criminal may believe before they actually find themselves sitting there – than having to handle the responsibility of making their own way in life. If Death was right outside the door immediately after conviction, the crime rate would drop rapidly. And even if it didn’t, the criminals would be dead and we would not have the problem with prison overpopulation or funding. Sooner or later, ALL the cons would get the idea that punishment for violent crimes is going to be quick.

1. jivesobro Says:
   January 12th, 2007 at 4:04 pm esponge you might be the brightest person on this blog. Peace

W- Hmmm…Sponge is the SECOND brightest person on this blog.

AND, you, jivesobro, once I find an appropriate sound effect, we are going to execute you right here on this blog. Your cutting and pasting of other’s talking points has gotten “violently” out of hand. For starters, you’re so smart ass full of the non-effectible, “inconsequential” factoids that you’re just like all the politicos that you bash, you’re entirely stupid about the fundamentals that really create solutions. You’re like one of those people who can build a car engine but don’t know how to stick the key in the ignition to start the car. You’re just like the thousands of young kids I’ve crossed paths with the last years while participating conservative activism. They all believe they are scholars and ready to get to work at their government subsidized jobs (hypocrites — espouse smaller gov’t, but depend on IT for their paycheck!) inside the beltway — very few are — but the last thing we need is more over-intellectualized, blowhard fact monsters confusing (even more) the basic fundamentals that truly make life work. But the truth is, jivesobro, you don’t hold all the information you put forward, at all. You only want others to believe that you do and your superfluousness and overtrying proves that. Under analysis, you are all over the place, taking all sides of every issue, even the “up my own ass” point of view. Your two comments on January 16, one right after the other: “Happy Martin Luther King day everybody” and “The KKK are terrorists,” expose you for the two-faced pseudo-polemicist you sadly are. Probably blame that on a bipolar disease. Your debate strategy is to drown others in your diarrhea of the mind-less. People capitulate to your drivel only because its empty endlessness drives them insane. Not I, says God.

You do provoke me to reconisder my perspectives and for that I respect your POV greatly.But, the manner in which I looked up to you when I was younger is something that now I’m much older I look back on fondly. Thanks for whatever it was that made watching you wrestle so damn mesmerizing. You’re a great man.

    January 21st, 2007 at 10:12 pm eWrestling fan since I was 4, conservative since I could think rationally. Glad to see you are still shaking the ropes Warrior, just different ropes now. Just wanted to mention that one of the biggest myths stated over and over is that religion has killed more people on earth than anything else. Religion isn’t even close to the amount of damage and death that has been caused by various forms of marxism, communism, and despotism. It is not possible for religion to be hypocritical, only the people who follow them. Jesus Christ is my savior. I try to model my life after his example but fail as all humans will. I hope that all people will establish a relationship with God but I know they will not. Not my problem. Have a good day and be nice until it is time to not be nice. (that is one of my failings, you know that turn the other cheek thing. But I am trying.

W- Good point…almost complete. The “various forms of marxism, communism, and despotism” ARE forms of religion — the STATE is GOD.

Hello warriors…finally digging out here. We had an exceptional White Christmas and New Years and all of it is still here on the ground. Last year we didn’t have one snowfall…it’s warming up today and beginning to melt a little bit. I was out on the road and got stuck away from home, and then when finally back home, got hit (and stuck) with the same storm firsthand here in NM over a full two week period and have literally been “technologically” shut off for that whole time, except for some phone modem emails I was able to do. I have a satellite dish and it froze up. Then once it melted, it malfunctioned and I had to wait to have someone come from– guess where?– Denver, to repair it. A real mess. When it comes to internet access out in the boonies you do have to use less-universally serviced products.

When you live out in the country and weather debilitates the practical functions you depend on, you can expect to recover at a slower pace than if you live in the city. It’s not a matter of the city trucks clearing the roads as much as it is that you and your neighbors finally get the tractors out and do it yourselves because you need to get to town and get your vitals.

Of course, I like my work to be labor intensive, so I use my bull to pull my plow. I ever show you a pic of my bull? He eats tuna, whey protein, and expired “expiration-dated” steroids my local vet lets him have. Yeah, PETA tries to sneak around here and get a picture of him, claiming he’s being abused. But he runs them off snorting up and down the field — he’s been clocked at 18 mph in the open field. His name? Zeus.

Babe the pig thought he was a dog; that was nothing. My bull thinks he’s a God. I believe Him. My concern is that Muslims or New Age Africans come around here burning incense and worshipping him. That would be bad. He’d get too big of a head. Right now I can control him only because I’m his alpha-leader and He believes, the truth of the matter, that I’m a Higher evolved God. My girls call him, “Bully.” My Rancher neighbors call him: “Warrior’s damn Mountain Bull Son-of-a-Bitching Goddamn Monster thing.” Hey, what can I tell you — they all love me and my bull — and my bullshit. They are just jealous they don’t have a Zeus.

While I’m at it, many have written me about what that surface is that my action figures (at ebay) are sitting on for the picture I have put up. That’s one of my kitchens. I designed and built it when I refurbished my 100 year old double-adobe home a few years ago. I told you about that. Those are Talavera tiles — over 25,000 just in this kitchen. Our home here in NM has over 250,000 of these in it; all of them laid by me, each laid out in a design of some authentic Petroglyphic symbol or a Native American motive.

Well, they put the noose around Saddam’s neck and stretched it and shortened his attention span a little bit. Although much of the last minute gibberish going on was Arabic humming to that supernatural patriarch of death Allah, my sources tell me they overheard Saddam say, “Viagra,” like in, could he get some before the pulled the floor out from underneath him. Probably concerned about he was going to service 72 virgins.

By the way, have you ever wondered what a female terrorist martyr receives in paradise for their sacrifice? Maybe 72 sexually experienced males hung like horses. Would make a great follow-up question for one of our Fifth Column, Anti-American reporters to ask next time they are sitting sympathetically starry-eyed at a press conference of terrorists going on and on about their allegiance to Allah and how “honorable” their martyrdom is. Just ask, “Hey, by the way, Shobidibee Mohammed Ali Kareem Abdul Jabaar, oh great one with the mildewy towel around your head and the stained Hilton Hotels sheet set shrouding your curry-odored body, just what do your female terrorists receive as their reward in paradise for making their sacrifice?”

Maybe to be a female terrorist martyr, you have to be a lesbian, a real Butch Bitch, just nasty. Depaul University in Chicago, the United States largest Catholic University, should be investigated by our Homeland Protection Bureau. The school has a full-fledged Queer Studies program being financed there. (Do you know how wrong this is even by Catholicism’s own edicts?) A real breeding ground for very frustrated lesbian queer types. Really though, someone should ask to find out, what do female terrorists martyrs receive? Of course, only here at thy Warrior’s Machete will you find the courageous audacity to ask the questions ‘thought’ by so many others but unvoiced.

There’s a jerky handheld video of Saddam being hanged, but I wonder, why not a HD version produced publicly? Better yet, why didn’t they do a PPV and give the money to the military families? And you have to admire the speed of justice enforced. Jeez, we could learn something from them about that. Not even one of my favorite cartoon characters, Quickdraw McGraw, gets the job done with that kind of speed. And, wow, what about those last minute conditions! Spectacular — I love it!! A concrete room with one light bulb, a steel staircase up to your final demise, and heavy hewn rope like you can find in any barn. Like some gruesome scene right out of a Stephen King script!

Think about the way we babysit the criminals in our own penal system. Fine lawyers, fine accommodations — even fine dining just hours before we execute them, that is, execute them only after 20 years of unjust appeals at the taxpayer’s expense in the hope they find an anti-american, anit-death penalty Judge to save their worthless carcass.

The hanging of Saddam should have been made into a festival. We cheered and celebrated more when they took that whole morning to pull down his statue in Baghdad’s town square. Remember that? I have to wonder, if Saddam had been captured that first morning we invaded Baghdad, let’s say caught right on the street by his own people during that moment of celebration, would they have first hung him from the neck of his own statue? If they had wanted to, would we have intervened to stop it?

I think the unceremonial, blasé handling of him being strung up was done to offset, for whatever non-brilliant politicized reason, the previously overdone celebration post-invasion of Iraq (”Mission Accomplished” on War Ship) that ultimately blew up in Bush’s face and has continued to explode over time. And the reason it continued is because Bush’s chest sunk; perhaps, they should have used a towel, in similiar fashion as they did a sock on the ship, to enhance the presence of one. Nonetheless, emascualtion in either area can quickly turn a cowboy into a fencesitter.

Ironically, the gloomy execution atmosphere also mirrored most people’s malaise about the war situation. Liberal nutjobs aside, there aren’t many who don’t want the bad guys killed. Decent, commonsense people, who work to have effective and productive everyday lives, are just tired of hearing that we need to win the war but see that we are not executing the fight as the war that it is. Kill the goddamn bad guys. Just shoot and kill them. And if our solders are not sure if they are dead, let them shoot them until they are and give them the benefit of the doubt, not the damn enemies! Fuck the enemy. They started the war - let us finish it once and for all. Send them to the hell they deserve. This is what would work for us that are tired of hearing the doublespeak.

The truth is, we have built a shooting gallery over there in Iraq and our fellow Americans in the military are the ducks and they, now, have Elmer Fudd as their leader making the case for continued occupation without giving them the green light to kill the enemy. I can’t forget the article I read a few months ago about the soldier who got killed and the family released some of his e-mails to Newsweek magazine. It’s one of the thousands of sad stories of unreasonable sacrifice. All this kid wanted to do ever since he was a little kid was be a soldier. He dreamed of it day and night and even studied Classic battles and Great Wars to enlarge his knowledge about it. A real true patriot. In one of these revealed emails he tells the story about how his troops and he cannot fire back unless they know for sure it is the enemy firing at them to begin with. Unbelievable. Can you imagine. This sickens me. I have to tell you, if I’m being fired at, I don’t care if it’s my grandma with Alzheimer’s who doesn’t know what the hell she is doing, she’s an enemy to my life and before she takes another crack at killing me, I’m going to kill her.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. During these times of war, not one American soldier’s life is worth trading for any other non-American life on the planet. I don’t care if it’s a woman or a child — not one Islamic life or any other ethnicity is of equal value to an American soldiers’, who willingly puts his own at risk so his fellow Americans can be safe and secure. I know these may not be the thoughts of soldiers on the ground in the middle of the conflict. I speak only for myself. I don’t care what you think about it. For me, it’s about having priorities straight.

Ann Coulter famously said some time ago, talking about radical Muslims, “We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.” She’s got one hell of a beautiful warrior attitude (similiar to my wife’s, but Ms. Coulter still has a long way to go) — which, by the way, leads me to believe that this is the very reason no ballless, emasculated, modern-day CON-servative has the wherewithal or the sack it will take to make her a wife and ALL the woman (as a conservative mother of children) she has the potential to be — but as Warrior in namesake, I think we should tighten that idea up a bit. I say we invade their countries (when we are attacked, provoked or threatened), give them a chance, and time period, to behave like civilized 21st century human beings, like America’s own majority of law-abiding, reasonably decent citizens, and if they refuse, we kill them or isolate them all on a deserted island and let them kill themselves. Yes, of course, we let them choose…jeez, you think I don’t have a heart?

The World is too dangerous to take chances giving subhuman, irrational beasts the benefit of the doubt anymore, and only converting them to Christianity isn’t going to work. In fact, as history and modern times show, Christianity (and ALL religions in any other name or fashion than just an acceptance of a Creator through the Creation of Nature) only gives individuals a more powerful excuse to evilly misbehave. God and His truth is not found, first or only, in a book or a story or a list or a mosque or a church or an organization, etc; these are jokes and more men than not have always been willing to be ruled by fools. And, for me and millions of others, being a true American, first, is a greater virtue than being Christian. And NO, the two ARE NOT mutually exclusive.

A few other things before I go. First, if you ordered merchandise and are expecting a personal Chrismas Card, I want you to know that all are sent out. The weather threw everything out of whack, though, so be aware of that. We didn’t have any mail delivered for 7 days and Postal Service here in NM is notorioulsy horrible anyway, so it had to have been effected during the storms because the whole city was shut down when I ventured into it. Give it till the middle of next week and if you don’t have your card, write me an email at mrwarrior@ultimatewarrior.com and I’ll get you another one. If you live in another country, which many of you who ordered do, give it a few extra days beyond the middle of next week, then let me know.

Next, if you want to post comments here at the blog be sure and post them under the right post that you’re commenting on. I don’t have the time to cut and paste them into their correct place.

Some of you have written wondering if controversial and critical comments are accepted. I don’t have a problem with disagreement and even criticism if you want, but write intelligibly and say more than a string of four-letter words. I have no qualms about four-letter words, but use them sparingly and use them to emphasize your point, not as the only words you seem to know. “F’ this” and “F’ that” doesn’t cut it.

If you post desperate and screeching, dramatized comments one after another after another, they go in the trash.
If you only want to comment on having enjoyed Ultimate Warrior’s wrestling career, you can do so at Warrior Web, the official site.

Some of you have posted comments responding to I don’t know who. The person you address is not an identifiable commentor here on the blog, so I can only guess that you know a commentor by another identifier you are using or you are carrying on a exchange with someone behind this blog’s scene. This blog is to be used to make comments interacting with other blog commentors who can be identified by their user names and email addresses, here, not someplace else.

If you are Jason, you can quit writing 20 pages assaults on a guy named Andrew. I don’t know you, but I can promise you that there is a rubber room with your name on it like the one you say this Andrew guy belongs in. And I can promise you something else. If either of you ever come onto my property without an invitation, my well-trained “bite and drawn blood before you bark” dogs, or one of my many Mossburgs covertly-planted in convenient locations throughout the property, will have your skin a little torn up for a few weeks or more. The internet is filled with idiots, yes. This I know. But wherever you got your information that I would be tolerating such behavior is wrong, very wrong. Behave yourself or get the hell out of here.

I’ve got something I want to get into, but I have to run for now.

Your Founding Father of Ring Life Intensity,

Always Believe,

Warrior

Hey everyone. Just a thank you for engaging the blog. Going to be expanding on this religion issue more very soon. It’s the number one crutch and hypocrisy in the World. Until I participated in conservative activism I never paid direct attention. It just blows me away how most everyone wants to have their cake and eat it, too. They want the World to be a certain way, and yet, they themselves conduct their lives in the exact opposite manner than what it will take to bring it to fruition.

Santa Claus is coming to town and I want to say thanks for generating purchasing activity with the Warrior Wear. If you haven’t been over there yet, check it out. As I said in my original announcement of it, my priority was to get quality stuff, not quantity, and see how sales went from there. If you have any questions you can write the customer service through the link provided or ask me.

AND AS A SPECIAL INCENTIVE, ALL PURCHASES THAT HAVE OCCURRED THUS FAR AND THOSE BETWEEN NOW AND THE HOLIDAYS WILL BE SENT A PERSONALLY-SCRIBED CHRISTMAS CARD FROM ME. YOU CAN CHOOSE TO HAVE YOUR CARD SENT TO WHOEVER YOU WISH. JUST LET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I KNOW. THANKS.

The Team Warrior America Wear represents something powerful to me and I appreciate your support in seeing the same thing:

“Finally, I’m proud to relaunch Warrior Wear. I’m even more proud to begin with “Series One” of my “Team Warrior America” line. It took me longer than I expected, longer than you can believe, but it took just the perfect amount of time to set it all up to my OWN Warrior standard.

This Team Warrior America logo symbolizes more than just the identity of the positive, inspiring, Superhero sports entertainment persona I created and performed, Ultimate Warrior. It also symbolizes what participating in that unique masculine, physical sport taught me about myself as a man and a human being (my beliefs, my principles, my disciplines), what I experienced and learned about the cultural impact and powerful influence of role-modeling, and how all these life lessons together inspired me to move on to an even more empowering phase of my life searching for, studying and learning all I could about historical real-life heroes and classical mentoring.

Through the books and writings of man’s history and our country’s own — I found the real heroes. The classical mentors who believed in the importance of doing what was great in and with their own lives while also believing in something that was greater and more enduring than even their own mortality.

This Team Warrior America logo is my OWN reflective and humbled tribute to those heroes, The Founders of America, and the respect, reverence and loyalty I have for all the classical principles, beliefs, virtues and human conduct embodied in the intellectual brilliance, physical fortitude and spiritual integrity they so magnanimously illustrated.

Team Warrior America Wear is not for everyone. Sure, the shirts come in different sizes to fit every size of body, but your principles and courage better be large and muscular enough to stand up and defend the statement this logo makes. There are, after all, piecemeal patriots — and, then, there are Warrior Patriots.

Let me be unimaginably clear about this. Even at the funny misfortune of having a lifetime inventory of Team Warrior America Wear only for family and myself, I don’t want the threads of this apparel draped over the bodies of silent, unprincipled wimps who can’t find at least a few traditional DNA molecules in harmony with Thomas Jefferson’s oft-quoted scorn for any degree of oppression on individual liberty: “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

*** Although Team Warrior America is a peacekeeping organization to inspire courageous and prejudiced, yet polite, defense of American Patriotism, all shirts bloodied due to ‘refreshing the tree of liberty’ are replaced free of charge. Two shirt replacement if Islamofascist blood. Place shirt in Ziploc bag and send to ‘Team Warrior America Tree of Liberty Blood Donor.’ Include story of battle fought, Warrior Patriot’s name and address. New shirt to ‘refresh’ ships out immediately.”

Warrior Workout START kits are going to back up by tomorrow morning and ready for purchase, too. Great gift for the fat or out of shape or unhealthy person on your holiday shopping list. Make this the last year you have to be uncomfortable telling your fat relative (or spouse) to move their ass so you can around it.

The START Kit is cheaper than the money you’re eventually going to have to spend on the tents you’ll have to buy for clothes or the cost of replacing broken furniture. And much, much cheaper than the back operation you’ll need after you act a pawbearer at the funeral when your fat relative has that massive, massive heart attack. Not funny? Too bad. That’s the problem with all the other billion dollar exercise programs — they are offered by funny comedians who don’t want you to really “get it” about exercise — they want you to fail, and fail and fail, so you can keep coming back for the “New and Improved” version of their nothingness program for nothing once again.

The START Kit is real. There’s no bs and you get to talk to me and have me tell you to quit feeling sorry for yourself. Now with the relaunch underway, the exercise side of things is really going to take off, but, come on, you can’t write me a 10 page email asking me to help you get your exercise act together, and then expect me to chickenpeck at my computer for 3 months and give you every single piece of exercise knowledge that I’ve EARNED on my OWN — the HARD, INTENSE way — in the 33 years I’ve been banging it out.

OH, that’s right, you’re a real nice guy (or gal). Jeez, I almost forgot. Look, I’m sure you are and if you’ve been coming around Warrior Web for a while, you know I have a huge bleeding heart for people who let themselves go to hell in any way, physically, mentally, spiritually. I mean it, I’m hemorrhaging on the inside for you. I’ll need to eat a mop to clean up the mess inside myself. Ok, I just lied.

Look, the way I figure it, for the money you spend on a piece of Warrior Wear clothing or a START kit or anything else to be sold in the near future, I get .00000000001 cent for every hour of time I’ve spent putting in the creativity and accumulating the knowledge and wisdom I have about exercise, fitness and life. For you, that’s more than a fair trade. For me, well, like I said, this is where my HUGE bleeding heart comes in.

Besides, standing on principles has cost me more than enough already and I have two Warrior daughters who happen to be 99.99% perfect at everything they try (go figure!) and they expect their Daddy to pay for it. Do you know how much it costs for a tutu? No, I don’t mean theirs, I mean the ones my size so I can really show that I am interested in what they do. Man, my wife and I have got to get those Warrior boys happening soon.

Now, how’s that for a sales pitch? Not bad for a self-destructive person, right? Ok, screw it — just buy something this Holiday Season or else. How’s that?

Seriously, the START kit, blunt and strightforward as it is, is a great way to get the lowdown on exercise and START changing your life.

The Body area of the site is going to really pick up in activity and by the first of the year I am going to be offering some Limited opportunities for truly personal training, more along the lines of Life Mentoring, including the potential to travel out to my neck of the woods and spend time training and learning with me.

Gotta run for now. More to come over the weekend.

Thanks again for engaging the blog.

Warrior

I wanted to comment on this even though it’s not frontpage, anymore.

http://www.gazette.com/display.php?id=1326184

Warrior inspiration?

A Haggard castration and crosshanging would do the trick. It would keep me pumped for months.

It’s not enough punishment that this pervert has been ousted. He should be castrated and then nailed to a cross in his own church this next Sunday morning. Anybody who truly believed in a Creator would want this, too.

Still professing to be a deeply devoted religious man — he never, ever was. He’s been a reprobate, degenerate and thief his whole life. Never anything else. Not by his assembly’s illusory standard of Original Sin, anyhow.

Even faced with the facts of the accusations, he kept refining his mea culpa until he could disappear. I mean, you figure a devoted religious man, preaching that every human is sinner, would, once caught in beaucoup bundle of sins, immediately admit his sins and ask for forgiveness and support. Instead he and his wife are going to disappear for a while. How nice. Of course, he can afford to run and hide after years of swindling everyone. He should be indicted at no less a level than Ken Lay and all the other corporate whoredogs.

But, no, he has a letter written and read by others and the sheople get up and applaud it afterwards. What a slap in the face to these people who entrusted him so much; what a slap of self-disrespect they level upon themselves. It’s indecent and they are brainwashed to believe otherwise.

Sure, this is really what God wants. He Creates us as Beings who have free will and the ability to judge. But, “Hey, while you are down there, to show your appreciation and reverence for Me, don’t use it. And whenever someone’s wants to violate the worth of your own Creation, let them. Have fun.” Organized religion is a fraud to weaken people to have them make an excuse out of their lives rather than an example of empowerment.

How funny that James Dobson resigned from the larger committee of perversionists who agreed to counsel Haggard because he said it would take too many years to cure Teddy Boy’s ills and he didn’t have the time to devote. What really should be said, is that there’s not enough time in all the remaining clock of this World’s existence to cure the ills of all those who have devoted their lives to organized religion over the past 20 plus centuries. How can I say such things? God. He’s right here next to me. Go ahead, ask Him.

Hey, Man…get out of there. Look, God, stay out of my Power Bars. You’ve had enough today. I know You supply me with my incredible, unflappable belief and confidence, but You don’t exactly pay any of my bills when You come around here hanging out.

Sorry about that. He gets carried away with all the good tasty food down here when He visits. Those little dry, cracker wafers started out as joke but they didn’t believe He had a sense of humor, so some other guy in a robe (another joke) put them permanently on the menu.

So, go ahead, ask Him. Ask God how it is I can say what I say.

Hello warriors. Comments have been moderated, nothing edited, all put up for the most part. I will answer some of the questions later.

New Full Blown Commentary — link below.

Loads of people have asked why I don’t have a “MySpace” acct. My answer is that it really came down to a matter of mathematics.

The average cranial capacity is 1400cc or 82.3 cm3. 124 million skulls are buried in at MySpace and, they claim, 320,000 new sign up every day. I did try every single bit of a few “Warrior Minutes” to find how to convert cc and cm3 to square foot. (What are “Warrior Minutes” will be in the next lesson when we cover relativity.) Whatever conversion route you take to turn volume into area, it doesn’t change the fact that you end up with a lot of empty space.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/28/AR2006102800803_pf.html

News Corp paid $580 million in 2005 for MySpace. Rupert Murdoch paid $44 million for a living space in NY; the most ever paid for a piece of real estate in downtown NY. MySpace cost $4.68 per skull. Rupert’s pad cost $5,525 per sq./ft.

A few suppositions.

One, the per/skull price is a little on the high side. Of course, here is the old man who green lighted OJ’s book and scheduled a primetime program to promote it.

Two, the spacious, empty interior of too many individual minds in this country is precisely what Murdoch and his ilk laugh at, mock, and depend on to have the wealth it takes to make this incredulous kind of purchase.

Three, one day this “group mentality” and all its collective empty space, bought so cheaply, is going to cost this country it’s most dire, unparalleled and potentially irreparable expense.

For teenagers today, slaving over your online profile is creativity. Thinking for yourself and self-determination in choice and commitment is not hip. Attention is given no longer than the time it takes the secondhand on a watch to go to the next second. “Ennui sets in,” these great inspirators of our future claim.

They’re offended and surprised internet anonymity breeds creeps with creepy behavior, yet shocked and annoyed anyone who really loves and cares about them invades their privacy to insure they are safe from the creeps with creepy behavior.

The last forty years of experimenting with the forced instillation of self-esteem, without having to earn it, has worked so well, fickle, indecisive, disheveled kids, who quit tying their shoes because they never learned how, have the audacity to tell the rest of us what is “pointless.” What they spend their entitlement trust funds (once called allowance and you had to earn it) on subsidizes an entire market of twenty-something, six-figure salary “analysts” who tell us, just as audaciously, “[These young kids] aren’t loyal.”

One kid, probably smacked around a few times by conservative parents so that he’d at least be disciplined enough to sit down and eat dinner with his family and engage small talk and discuss ideas, doesn’t buy into the MySpace hype. He says he is “going to wait till the craze dies.”

“Over time,” he says, “people are going to get sick of talking to people on the computer. I just think people will want to spend more time with each other — without the wall of technology.”

And what, be left without their 300 friends!? Maybe this kid is right. But to get sick of it they will first have to overcome their sickness of being hooked on it.

Warrior at MySpace? No thanks. My goal is to fill the space between my ears with knowledge, not incoherent gang-jargon and close-up webcam footage of those who could use a good dermatologist to work on their skin.

Then again, what do I know? Hogan pimps his kids over there; and Lex Luger, with a Buddhist monk’s haircut, holds confessionals in his Dad’s piano shop and, then, repents by lifting them up and down.

Hey, what can I tell you, I can only be famous in so many places at one time.

http://www.ultimatewarrior.com/Pages/WarriorMind_lateFBcomm.html

Thanks for all the feedback letting me know the site is functioning. Appreciated. Things will be coming online…

I will use this blog for simple updates for the next few days till things get settled, then I will move simple updates to “Misc. Update” page at Main Site, as I told you. Don’t worry, I’ll give you directions and links…

Many of you followed up on my comments on the recent election asking me what I thought of us being begged to vote “for the lesser of two evils.” What, are you mind readers? I’d already written a draft on that exact thing. I will edit and post it asap.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Some of you wrote asking me advice about diet, that you needed to lose weight. Of course, I get plenty of emails asking for health and exercise advice. But I had to laugh when some of you asked me what I would suggest you eat tomorrow! Advise you about how to restrain your eating tomorrow, only one day before you go to Grandma’s for T-day, where she cooks everything with extra TLC (i.e., more sugar and butter and the stuff that is definitely not good for you)?

My advise is to eat as much as you can — I mean eat IT ALL. Eat till it starts seeping out the pores of your skin. Eat like 10 Pigs at a trough and there’s a demon in your head telling you that all the food in the World will be gone tomorrow. Eat till you get physically ill. And after you get sick, throw up — go eat more. Skip the turkey, pass right over all of the good stuff — go straight for the dessert table and eat every diabetes-engendering pie, cookie, and cake that is spread before you. Make sure you drink tons of fluids. This will bloat you and bring on nausea quicker. Whole milk is best. Once you’ve lost your appetite for being sick, force yourself to go out and run sprints, say 40 yards at least, if you can do 100 yarders, go for it, all the better. Run till you drop. Get up. Go again. Drop again. Go again till you drop again. I mean drop. Face down. Flat and out. Have one of your relatives watch so they can call 911 when you’ve pancaked.

This is my advice. If I was joking here about being ‘seriously’ asked at the last minute, I’d let you in on the joke. But I was not. More than a handful of people wrote and ask just as I’m telling you. When you take your health so unseriously, don’t expect others to make it serious for you. I just don’t know what else to tell you to have you get it that good health doesn’t start on its own. No one can buy it for you as a Christmas gift. You can’t get back what aspects of health you damage forever. I know they say: “When you love something set it free. If it comes back it was yours. if not, it never was.” Believe me, scrap this sentimentality when it comes to your health. Hold on to it and don’t listen when it growls that you are just too jealous to relax and give it some space. That’s the problem now. Too much space — your ass is taking up too much. It used to be when someone said, “Move your ass!” it meant let’s get going, speed it up a bit. Now, it really means: move THE ass. “Move your ass, so I can get around it.”

If your health has truly gone all to hell and you just keep stepping to the side letting it, the only way to whack your self-discipline back into taking orders again might be to make yourself sick near death about what you’ve become. Look, if you are overweight — do not eat. Discipline demands. It’s that simple.

You ever hear this phrase: “cold turkey?” Sure you have. Many people think it has to do with quitting “cold” smoking or drugs, etc. Wrong. A regular, very out-of-shape guy decided one Thanksgiving morning he’d had enough. So, somewhere, somehow, he summoned up the small bit of discipline he had within himself and didn’t eat anything that day and from that point on stayed on a healthy, consistent diet and exercise program and turned his whole life around. Still today, he goes “cold turkey” on T-day to honor the self-discipline he called into action on that one Thanksgiving years ago. Hey, ok, not so creative, but work with me here…I’m trying to help.

Here are couple great Thanksgiving sites. Print a couple stories out and read them with the family, especially your kids or nephews, nieces, grandkids, etc. American history stories are the best. All you fathers out there. Step up in your life. Be the leader. Show that you deserve that seat at the head of the table. It meant something at one time. Make it so again. Quit fantasizing about it — do it. When the family sits down to the table, tell them to sit back and relax for a minute, that you have a powerful, inspiring story to tell. One of great, magnificent importance. Make it tradition — right now. This Thanksgiving. Don’t put it off anymore. Bury your mind into the story and forget about your delivery. Believe me. Providence will take over and as the years go by, the storytelling you do will be THE highlight of every Thanksgiving from here on out, this year forward.
