Where’s the Robot?
May 9, 2011 | Author robot
Sorry so quiet. Been busy at work during the day and at the studio at night working on a new project. This one is shaping up to be pretty intensive so blogging will likely be lite for the foreseeable future.
Hang in there. I’ll be back before you know it.
Here. Have a little Fleetwood Mac to tide you over.

A couple of Automotivators inspired by the Wisconsin public employees union protests.
Photos thanks to Ann Althouse here and here.
Around the blogosphere:
The Trog has a question about the happenings.
R.S. McCain has a list of employee salaries and wonders on a Cheesehead Revolution.
General Belvedere has a few choice words as well.
Also, my favorite frugal female has found the Wanted Poster of the Day Week Month.
Update: Chris hands the hypocrites their walking papers.
American Perspective found the Dem’s a hidey-hole.
Jesse Jackson: “Someone threw a protest and didn’t invite me?”
Shamus sez: ‘Edumicashun = Indoctrinashun’
and,
speaking of Spellchek…
Now, since it’s Friday, how about some music to fit the theme of this post?

I Heart Sarah
February 16, 2011 | Author robot
Belated Valentine’s Day greetings to my female blogging friends.
Here’s a little Heart for you. <3
First up, we’ll keep with the All Sarah-cuda February theme. (You had to know that was coming, right?):
Next, another one of all time Heart faves:
Hope you ladies had a great Valentine’s Day.
I’ll try to be a little more punctual with the gifts next year. 
Cheers!
Robo-Update: Busy ‘Bot
February 15, 2011 | Author robot
Whaddup my blogging buddies and all you lurkers out there?
Yea, I’m talking to you ‘OBammy. I know you hired a Big Brother to keep an eye on me. That’s OK, I’ve put him to work. See, last week we installed a new monitor at the studio for a stereoscopic effect. In 3D, even.
Dual monitors rule.
After tweaking the settings a bit, I’m ready for the session this weekend.
That was last week.
This past weekend, a good number of the family and I made the 3 1/2 hour (1 way) trek over the river and through the woods to Grandpa’s house for his 83rd birthday. Yours truly was the dedicated driver that day. Tuckered out was I, but not too much the next day to continue preparations for the zombie apocalypse.
Enter the Robo-Gardening mini adventure.
This was taken yesterday evening after completing the plot and framing. I was going to stand the timbers up for about 3 feet to mount a screen for a dog barrier but then I thought, why not use the entire thing as a column and put in some runners to try out some upside down tomatoes? I’ll let you know how that comes out.
Got some good soil in the plot today and will be planting in about 3 weeks to a month. I may start the UD tomatoes as soon as the nurseries put them out. We’ll see.
That’s what’s up in my little world. I’m hoping to get some *cough* real *cough* blogging done later in the week. You know how it is, sometimes one has to put personal bidness before blogging pleasure.
Check you later in the week.
Cheers!

Yea! I finally issued phase one of the behemoth project for comments today. If they decide to make any changes on design principles, they’re going to have an unruly robot to deal with, let me tell ya, especially after I tried to include them in the process and was brushed off. Grrrrrr.
Oh well, such is life. Today, I’m unchained…
Hu’s Your Daddy!
January 20, 2011 | Author robot
Continuing the mantra of “I never met a communist I didn’t like,” the Obama’s welcomed Chinese Dictator Hu Jintau to the White-house with open arms and a formal dinner this week while his Democrat cronies prattled on about China’s currency policies and paid token lip service the country’s human rights violations, all the while warning China that “If they don’t straighten up, we’re going to use some really tough language, Little Mister.”
Note to our comrades in Congress: have you looked in the collective mirror lately? Anyone noticed that China holds the majority of US debt to the tune of $1 trillion? Threatening China with tariffs at this point would be akin to telling your loan shark to take a flying leap off the nearest skyscraper, with equally horrifying and predictable results. Cement shoes, anyone? Stop with the useless posturing and set your own finances in order before you start telling others to balance their checkbooks.
Personally, I think the biggest points scored for the Obama’s were by Michelle with a tie-dyed flaming red and orange something-or-other that must have been retro-fitted from a set of movie theater drapes, which was overly dramatic and so, fit the occasion perfectly, in her own obtuse way. Hu knows? Maybe the drapes in question will be returned to said cinema and enshrined after the occasion.
I also wonder if they re-gifted those Chairman Mao tree ornaments, or if the dinner plates were leaded with Mao’s likeness. Yum!
On a related note, a classic rock band has weighed in on the situation:
Heh, sorry. Couldn’t resist.
Here’s another relevant one:

Well, as close to here as I can be and not actually be here. This is a drive by post, really.
Work has been kicking my butt lately so I’m obviously not posting as much. I am however working on updating the US Timeline page in my spare time and yesterday added some new entries mentioned in an outstanding post over at Fuzzy Logic. I’m also working to add a few more later this evening or tomorrow. The rueful thing is, there are ever more additions to make to the list. 
Meanwhile, my friend Steve sent me some musical pron that I just have to share. Some Rule 5 in the form of Meytal Cohen.
This chick rocks! Check it out:
What is Rule 5 you ask?
The Other McCain’s Sunday roundup offers a pretty broad example.
As does The Pirate’s Cove
and The Daley Gator
Catch you on the flip side.

Merry Christmas fellow automatons! And you humans too.
Update: One of my favorite Christmas songs:
Here’s a small sampling of Christmas posts from the Robot’s blogroll:
The Troglopundit found some beauties singing well, beautifully.
A new addition to the blogroll, PoliticalJunkie Mom, brings Bill Whittle: Christmas in America, circa 1776
Hey, did anyone else notice Pundit and Pundette passed the One Million hits mark? Congratulations Jill! That’s some great work you’re doing over there. Pundette found a great rare Christmas song Everybody’s waitin’ . . .
Angel got jazzed up for Christmas, Ray Charles style. Good stuff there, Angel.
Chris has a few Christmas messages for us. “…this coffee cup is my Christmas gift to you“, “The Best Christmas Tip Story Ever” and “Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez wish you a very Nuclear Christmas”
My good friend Steve, of Motor City Times has been hitting the Christmas music for the past week or two. Let’s see if I can find a common tag over at his place to link to them all. Hold on.
Now, I swear that I wrote that prior to going to Steve’s site. Check it out, he’s waaaay ahead of me. Great minds and all…

Cool! Woodsterman found Bailey the Unknown Reindeer
KurtP has some singing signing Monks.
Joan, you are beautifully eloquent:
I’m curious. Is there some dark harm in believing in a virgin birth at that time, in that place, in those inconvenient circumstances? In believing in such a thing, am I inspired to fear and loathing, or might I share in an utterly unlikely miracle that makes me doubt my own goodness– and to look up for answers instead of around for a stone?
Also, this video, because charity begins at home and Joan asked us to share it. Visit her site for more info.
I may add on later, if time permits.
Merry Christmas, my friends and reader. May God bless you all.

Musical Rule 5: Fiona Apple – Across the Universe

Do those guys ransacking the diner remind you of our Congress?

Never met a communist he didn’t like:
Obama finds kindred spirit?
“I am glad to meet an Indian communist. I am told that communists have been part of the (Indian) political mainstream,” Obama told CPM Politburo member Sitaram Yechury at the Rashtrapati Bhawan banquet as they were introduced and both shook hands.
He might just as well have said “fellow communist.”

And while Obummer is yucking it up with his new found commie friends and Bernanke is devaluing the dollar, the World Bank president lobbies for a global currency system:
“The world needs a new global currency-setting system”, – World Bank President Robert Zoellick has stated in Singapore.

Featured Blog: American Power
November 8, 2010 | Author robot
Somewhere on America’s left coast, behind the lines, stands one of the last bastions of hope for Conservative principles in California. A refuge for lovers of liberty who find themselves stuck in a beautiful landscape that hypnotizes all but the strong minded, luring them into a deadly world of Socialist thought that sucks the pride of self reliance from their minds and clouds it with the promise of unearned entitlements. That Fortress of Freedom is the blog American Power, and the luminary of that site is Professor Donald Douglas.
I’m often amazed at the tenacity required to produce the volume of quality articles and insightful commentary published by Prof. Douglas. Articles that are surely produced from an unquenchable love of America’s founding principles and a fire that grows brighter and stronger when fueled by the inane and asinine arguments of the liberal and socialistic pseudo-elites we battle today.
Professor Douglas, I’m certainly thankful you can withstand what must be a daily onslaught of leftist dogma evidenced in California these last couple of decades. Thank you for fighting against it with reason, truth and humor.
We need battalions of such educators in our schools to teach the truth of American exceptionalism.
Whatever you think of him, these facts are undeniable; the man behind American Power Blog is a tireless defender of freedom, of the virtues of liberty and a true American patriot. Which is why I’ve chosen American Power as the Robot’s latest Featured Blog.
Like your humble robot, Prof. Douglas is a music lover as well and possesses a diverse taste that spans the spectrum from punk rock to rap and hip-hop to pop and classic rock. I’ve found several new bands from visits to American Power and been reminded of some I’d forgotten.
I must also admit to sharing his affinity for Gods most favored creatures. We need a break from the punditry every now and then and the lovely ladies featured on his site rival those to be found anywhere, be it here on this site, or the glitzy runways of New York.
Be sure to bookmark and blogroll American Power.
Follow him on Facebook
… on Twitter
… at Pajamas Media
… at FrontPage Magazine
… at Right Wing News
… at Theo Spark’s… and at NewsReal Blog.
Jeez, the guy is everywhere! Maybe that’s why he is fortunate enough to hang out with like minded freedom fighters like Pamela Geller.
Whatever it is you’re doing, Sir. Keep on keepin’ on. You’ve definitely got an admirer in this Texas robot.
Cheers!

LeAnn Rimes & Joss Stone Get Funky
October 29, 2010 | Author robot
The robot is in a funky mood today. Funk in a good, R & B kind-of way. Time to dig on some LeAnn Rimes & Joss Stone from CMT Crossroads. This is the full show. It will play the first song (which kicks butt, BTW). If you want the rest, you’ll have to install the Veoh player. I did. Nothing bad happened.
Oh, this could be considered a Rule 5 post as these two are definitely hot.
What say you, Smitty?
What is Rule 5 you ask? See here for excellent examples.
