It's December...You Know What That Means!

Good morning everybody! Welcome to the Tuesday edition of CCB. We’re coming at you live and with bleary-eyed vision from the Compound this morning. I hope everyone is back to basking in electrical light following that savage ice storm that came through.

Happy to report that all went well with the trip to Colorado. Our raw video is in the can (as they say – Hollywood talk). Hell, we even got audio of the Bigfoot letting loose a roar on cam. Of that, I’m convinced.

And, while we weren’t able to get any actual video of the Bigfoot, we did capture our naked participants with shocked looks on their faces when they heard his bellowing. Oh, and we even got video of Lassie, the barking goat, hightailing it down off the mountain after she heard that (our canary in a coal mine, as it were).  

Cousin Fred contacted our friend, Lamont, in western Arkansas to load up his video editing equipment and hightail it to the Cosmic City. Figure we’ll set up the equipment in one of the motels there in town. That way, the Wife won’t get too upset about the equipment, cabling, and Cousin Fred and I arguing over what to leave in and what to take out here at the Compound.

Hopefully, we’ll wrap everything up this week and get the final edits to Chick Farris and his altogether able assistant, Fergus. By the way, if you have actual video editing experience, please contact me. Friend Lamont has the equipment and software, but is a little slow in getting things done.

I’m very happy to see December arrive in great shape! This means we’re only about a month away from the morons that make up the Oklahoma Legislature kicking off their 2016 session! Finally, I’ll have something to sling rocks and arrows at without having to think too much!

According to the State Senate calendar, here are some key date (write these down for future reference):

December 11th is Bill Request Deadline Day (hmmmm, guess that’s when they take a poll of the nonsense dreamed up over their summer, fall, and early winter break). I’ll bet Sally Kern has been working hard over the break to come up with something really bizarre this year! I can hardly wait. I suppose this gives the cooler heads in the legislature a chance to think of ways to counter the bat sh*t crazy stuff so it doesn’t see daylight. Nah, there’s no one there who’s that smart.

January 21st is Bill Introduction Day. I guess that’s when we mere mortals learn what our overpaid and underemployed moronic state legislators will be working on in the 2016 season.

February 1st the 2016 session begins! Let the bat sh*t crazies out of the basement and laissez le bon temps rouler! I really can’t wait. Maybe if I wear a clever disguise they’ll let me into the gallery this year to watch! Nah, there are photos of me and Cousin Fred and Lassie posted at every entrance.

May 27th, is Sine Die Day which translates roughly into turn out the lights, the party’s over. The 2016 session ends and the bat sh*t crazies go back to the basement. After which, every member escapes from the confines of the basement (like a bunch of cockroaches) and go out to do events like, Eggs and Issues, where they’ll misinform everyone of how much good they did this session.

Unless, of course they get extended because, as usual, they don’t accomplish a damned thing.  I tell you, when HRH Mary of Fallin begins sounding like the reasonable voice coming from North Lincoln Blvd, we have problems.

Four frigging months and then they’re free to roam the state seeking newspaper photographers and television video cameramen to pose in front of while doing "grip and grin" moments with their constituents.

The Oklahoma State Legislature is world’s biggest welfare state for the unemployables and/or underemployables roaming amongst us.

There I said it…I feel better now!
