Four things: Bubba, Obama, punk ass kids and sheep herders again
Well, sheeiit. What I was thinking of came true. Old “Bubba” Engen ran in the marathon. Well, run is giving him too much credit. He hoofed part of it. That’s what the paper said. Almost busted my own gut laughing. Said that some charity pleaded with him to go do the marathon to raise money, knowing that he couldn’t in the shape he was in. So he went to some “trainer” and started trying to get the weight off, went and got a salad everyday for lunch. He was going to go under the knife and get his stomach tied off. Maybe a veterinarian can do that? Jesus H Christ – just stop eating so damn much. But he felt bad for the charity, so he figured he drop some poundage and risk a heart attack and try and walk part of the marathon. So, good luck, Bubba. Have to see where you come in. The paper even called you “obese.” Maybe the free lunch and picnic you’ve been getting from the paper is over with.
And hah, you Obama types are choking down some crow right now, ain’t you. ‘Ol Obama was going to save the world and change the world and do this and that so much you’d think he had a halo around his head. Well, he goes and votes for more government spying when all these kids who helped raise millions of bucks for him thought he was the best thing since sliced bread and couldn’t do a damn thing wrong. Hah. And now he says we’re going to stay in Iraq and even go to Afghanistan, too.
It’s a bitch when the “trust me” and “make me king and I’ll save the world” type goes and changes his tune because he is, after all, just a politician. Yup. When you liberal wankers going to realize that? He’s just another liar, trying to get elected. They’re all the same. But you young punks think you’re shit don’t stink and well, hell, we should all vote and give money for the candidate who is going to change the world. Just watch. He’ll change his tune on anything to get elected. Can’t trust him.
And that god awful shit that punk ass kid was shouting over the yakers in Moo Town last week on Thursday night. I mean, the music is OK, but christ we don’t need some punk yelling his commentary so loud yo can hear it all the way cross town.
This is Moo town. That’s the river. It belongs to us all, not some punk polluting it with noise on a nice evening. I wanted to plug him in the head with a rock but my aim ain’t what it used to be. The river ain’t supposed to be commercialized and sold down the river for a few selfish ‘yakkers and some shit they sell called Red Bull. Kayakers are selfish bastards.
Hey, maybe these liberal wankers can get Obama back here to call out during one of them yaker rodeos. Don’t know what Bubba could be for one of them rodeos. A whale, maybe?
And of course that mexican sheep herder on the mountain is jumping like a jumping bean. Some damn fool went and gave him money for doing his job. Christ sake. Now, every mexican in old mexico is going to hear from this guy’s family how some stupid white guys gave him more money – I said more money – for being a sheep herder. In Moo Town. So every mexican is going to want to come to Moo Two to heard sheep. Or cut grass. Or do whatever job that white guys won’t do.
Hell, give me money for writing this blog. I’m poor. I’m living on what little I got and social security. What’s the difference between me, enlightening the population of Moo Town and some mexican sheepherder letting sheep mow the weeds on the mountain?
All that needs to be said it just what that woman in the news said, the woman who runs the agency that mexican was hired through. What did she say? “That’s silly.” Damn right.
And while you’re at it, burn the rest of the mountain. Hell, get some good grass growing up there. The prairie needs to burn every few years. That’s what all you Moo Towners need to know. It’s called Nature. Something most of you city folks don’t know nothing about.
Till next time, suckers. And go help out your fellow drunk on the street.
Sheepherders making lots of money in Moo Town?
July 9, 2008
Hah. Got a belly laugh this morning when I read the paper. Old “Bubba” Engen, mayor of Moo Town Missoula, stuck his foot so far in his mouth his toes was tickling his tonsils. And every wanker liberal is scratching his or her hairy head to figure out how they can help out this sheepherder make more money while they’re walking up to the peace sign with their dog.
The articles about a sheepherder up on Mount Jumbo and how he makes $800 a month doing his job all day, around $2 an hour they figure, and the reporter was saying how the sheepherder wants more money and the rancher who hired him is about ready to shut his operation down because sheep ranching don’t pay anymore.
Have to say at least the reporter got all the story. Could have been a whiner about how the poor mexican ain’t making much money, but the rancher was able to get in that the situation is a hell of a lot more complicated than most city folk know. It’s the cost of gas and taxes and he’s even loosing a lamb a day to an old coyote with pups. But the reporter does hammer away at the money thing, saying that even though he gets room and board he’s making less then college interns while those big wigs in the city government are raking it in.
Another time that city folk just don’t get it. Ranching just don’t pay anything, for the workers and lots of time for the ranchers, too, unless you inherit a whole bunch of land. But the mexican kinda knows how to work the press. The reporter has him rattling off some mexican about how he don’t et paid much and he don’t get no help up there.
But old Bubba says he’s going to look into it for next year. Hah. “Maybe there are other ways that we can approach this. Yeah, it’s not much dough – that’s for sure.” So now I can see the mayor of Moo Town decreeing that any sheepherder in town will be subsidized to the tune of the minimum wage, which is $6.35 an hour. What’s going to happen with that? Hell, if he gets minimum for all those hours, it will go to overtime, too, and pretty soon that sheepherder will be driving a brand new truck.
And then, every other sheepherder in the state and prolly Mexico too will be heading to Moo Town since they can make more money here.
Now, before you get a burr up your armpit, realize that sheepherding is ranch work, and it don’t pay much if anything. Look in the paper and you’ll see adds for sheepherders for the same pay. The rancher says that he’s paying more than most. There are all kinds of ranch workers in Montana that don’t get paid shit.
You have to know that farming and ranching is still the number one industry in Montana. But maybe soon it won’t be, with all the hippie and californicating turists coming through town and the Hell’s Angel’s, too, so maybe it will be turism and then maybe some body will start a business where you can come by a sheepherder for a paid turism vacation. I’d like to see that. If you read this and make a million bucks offa that idea, give me a cut, won’t you?
Hell, maybe some of them drunks hanging around at the courthouse that the paper has been writing about are sheepherders just back in town. I seen sheepherders do that all the time, get out of camp and in town and tie one on real good. Maybe we could pay them minimum wage to get out there and shake off the drink and work.
Hell, maybe Obama will jump in and say we should pay the sheepherders more money. I see he jumped in on the Plum Creek land deal, saying that the government and Plum Creek should be more up front with the deal they’re working out. Everybody says that, but it took Obama to be a real politician to bring that up since he was in Butte for the 4th. He’s just another politician. All them peace sign liberals were swearing he’d be different. Wake up and smell the espresso, hippies. Ain’t nothing new in politics.
When he hell is Engen up for election? Maybe he’s fishing for votes, too? He needs to drop some poundage to be in the running – hah, if he could run – for mayor again. Maybe he should run in the marathons in a few weeks. That would get him a hell of a lot more votes than trying to get a sheepherder a few more bucks.
Life’s a bitch sometime. That sheepherder ain’t doing too bad. He’s doing better than the drunks laying on the sidewalks that everyone don’t want to deal with. He’s making a lot more money than he would in old mexico, and he even says that he’s on hard times there, so he came here.
I don’t think you could get a white guy to heard sheep. That’s the funny part. None of them liberals would be caught dead herding sheep, but they can feel better about it if we pay the mexicans a little more. And then we can use the story in the paper to get elected again.
So long for now suckers, and don’t forget to vote.
