The FEEL GOOD Video of the Year

Meet Mr. Sean Stevenson, a dwarf with the greatest attitude in the world.  What an inspiration it is to see this little person 
totally ignore his disability, have fun for the camera, 
and no doubt, for a world of admirers.

As Sean says in the video, "... because, life is supposed to be silly, not so serious-" and "you're gonna watch this, anytime you wanna feel good."

That's for sure, man.  Thank you~!

Nittak Na Yukpa, Ya Miko Greg Pyle!

Thursday, April 25 is a real holiday for Oklahoma Choctaws,
for it is the birthday of our great chief, Gregory E. Pyle.

This is not a suck-up or a kiss butt blogpost; instead, it is a genuine tribute to a great leader, something too sorely 
lacking in the rest of America today.

Under the guidance of Chief Pyle, our Choctaw Nation has become THE model for other tribes to imitate, both within and outside Oklahoma's borders.  It was not so long ago, that I called out Chief Pyle, to help with chronic unemployment here in Southeast Oklahoma, the 10½ counties which is our home.

The Choctaw Tribe went to work, expanding the casinos, opening hotels, RV parks, opening more clinics, and manufacturing.  Likewise, the Nation has taken an aggressive, positive stance on protecting our precious natural resources 'round here, like Lake Sardis, my backyard.

You Said It last September in the State of the Nation speech:

"Our tribal vision is ‘to achieve healthy, successful, productive and self-sufficient lifestyles for a proud nation of Choctaws.’ This continues to be our goal – to better serve you … the Choctaw people. Our continued economic development will create more jobs, more revenue and ultimately more services for our tribal members. Road projects will improve access to health care, schools and jobs. I want all of our families to achieve our vision of healthy, successful and self-sufficient Choctaws."

"Growing With Pride, Hope and Success" is our unofficial motto;
thanks to you sir, it's happening.

Why don't you remain Chief for the rest of your life?
Sounds like a good idea to me, and to others too~!

"Texas" By Chris Rea

So why have I never heard this song before?  It's by Chris Rea, a British rhythm and blues singer, and this song is from 1983, fer goodness sake.  That's like 30 years ago, dude. (in fact, exactly 30)

"Texas" is like a warm breeze after a cold night.  Welcome.  Both the song and the video here seem to invite people fed up with the crapholes where they presently live, and "go to Texas".

While Chris Rea isn't a Texan, that's the very attitude that true Texans hold:  
"Ya'll come on in, supper will be ready in 'bout an hour, would you like a tour of the place?"

I've said it before, second only to other Oklahomans, I love Texans best.  Perhaps it has to do with having friends from Houston to Pampa and from Texarkana to Presidio, and most points inbetween, 
or it has to do with the always (mostly (occasionally)) friendly rivalry between UT and OU-- (the only week that I will "dis" Texas) Texans are sure nice to have around, as neighbors and as friends.

Enjoy this video, and consider moving to friendly Texas, if you are in some Liberal hellhole like Illinoids or Wisn'tconsin.  Only, leave the liberal mindset there when you come.  Sound advice~!

Eighteen Years LaterWe Still Remember

The 18th anniversary of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City will be observed this morning, beginning at 8:30 CDT.  I am sure there will be prayer.  Governor Mary Fallin will speak at 9:30, after the reading of the names of the 168 victims who were vaporized that warm spring morning.  

At 9:02 am, 168 seconds of silence will be observed, the time when the truck bomb exploded, changing not only the face of OKC and Oklahoma, but also opening the door to the introduction of mass terrorism on our shores.  

************************

Remember when ?  When this sort of shocking tragedy was rare ? 

When one remembered only distant Pearl Harbor?  
Nowadays, the list of terrorized cities is long and bound to get longer still:
OKC, NYC, Shanksville, PA, the Pentagon, Ft. Hood, TX., now add Boston, MA. 

I've likely forgotten one or more, and if I did, I am sorry for not remembering you and your fear.

Now memorials to the dead and wounded stand, where once business and commerce and day-to-day activities took place.
The world is too filled with memorials.

We've Reached Zero Now

Well Done, Thou Good and Faithful Servants

REST IN PEACE

I Got A Good Wife

from postsecret.com

She keeps me centered on what's truly important:  Family.
She makes me laugh so much.
She is gorgeous without makeup or without fashion. (she always smells soooo good)

Just the thought of her barefoot, makes me
push that accelerator deeper, coming home.

She pushes my dreams, not my buttons.
She likes brushing my hair too.  ( ~! )
She loves God and loves her country.  ( ~! )

Barely five feet in height, nevertheless
she is the biggest part of my life.

She is both deadly demure and harsh when needed.
She is undemanding and understanding.
She is your Local Content to my Malcontent.

Have I ever told you about her pecan pies?
They're better than winning a giant lottery prize.

She gives me a family with her wisdom, through her heart.
She promises a lifetime together, without emphasis on the time part.
She watches out for my many screwups.

I find her overall, indescribable
despite my bloated, foolish skills here.

You've wonderfully slowed down time,
so that I love being with you every moment
of every moment of every moment we share.

Leticia Marie Hunter Malcontent,
what/where would your boys be without you?

You Are God's second greatest gift ever, and I love You more each day.

GOOGLE Forces Malcontent's Return

And here I was thinking that through "The Local Malcontent", I was gonna live forever in Cyberspace.

Forever telling new generations about such things as Leti's and my courtship and marriage, Shrillary's (First?) run for the Presidency, illegal immigrants and mockingbirds in the yard.

And don't forget the post about the lesbian ants, either.

WRONG.  Again.

Thanks to the annoucement this week that Google will delete a person's accounts after an extended period of inactivity, your Local Malcontent is back, at least long enough to tidy up around here.

Lovingly lifted from Google Accounts, this:

Plan your digital afterlife with Inactive Account Manager

Thursday, April 11, 2013

Not many of us like thinking about death — especially our own. But making plans for what happens after you’re gone is really important for the people you leave behind. So today, we’re launching a new feature that makes it easy to tell Google what you want done with your digital assets when you die or can no longer use your account.

The feature is called Inactive Account Manager — not a great name, we know — and you’ll find it on your Google Account settings page. You can tell us what to do with your Gmail messages and data from several other Google services if your account becomes inactive for any reason.  For example, you can choose to have your data deleted — after three, six, nine or 12 months of inactivity. 

  OR, they will simply dump you into the cybergrave if they don't hear from you or me.

  I always assumed that my eternal,digital afterlife would be spent 

  in the presence of my cyberCreator, George Burns, didn't you?

  Apparently not so.  

      HOW ABOUT AN UPDATE?

The family and I are doing just fine here in Yanush, America.  We had planned on tilling the garden again today, before planting seedlings, instead we are doing that tomorrow.  The fishing has been too good~  Dillon, his friend Kenton and I together caught 34 keepers this morning in Sardis.  

My health is good, as far as I know; I feel great at 190 pounds.  I go back to see Dr. Gast on May 1st, to determine whether any more treatment is needed for prostate cancer, following another bone scan and MRI.

That could be either hormone therapy or prostatectomy.  I can't imagine there being any prostate left, other than a little dinky, shriveled blob in there....

And I'm back at work.  Haven't missed a day since returning in December, however there were some early periods of extreme fatigue, and a "Al Roker surprise" moment or two.

See ya next time, or when/if our Nobel Peace Prize winning president decides to go to another war with North Korea this time~!  Love Ya~!

Supply Your Own Funny Blog Title HERE

THIS POST, ORIGINALLY POSTED ON APRIL 9, 2009 WAS TAKEN DOWN BY GOOGLE TODAY, 2-15-13, BECAUSE OF A COPYRIGHTED PHOTO IMAGE OF A LESBIAN ANT.

YOU KNOW ME-- LESBIANS DO NOT BOTHER THE LOCAL MALCONTENT.  

BUT THREATS OF LITIGATION FROM BIG BROTHER GOOGLE 

& BIG SIS JANET NAPOLITANO DO.

SO BEING HONEST MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, 

I CHANGED THE IMAGE OF THE LESBIAN ANT TO THIS.  

ENJOY THIS TRIP DOWN MAMMARY LANE. APOLOGIES TO WHOMEVER WAS OFFENDED. BITCH      wait until they get a look-see at this one or this classic ~!

(the above image is copyright free)

(S)Experts have discovered a South American species of an ant that is exclusively female and reproduces asexually by cloning the queen.

Janet(s) Napolitano, Reno and Hillary, as well as politicians in Vermont, Iowa and Massachusetts are reportedly riveted by this discovery--

Reproduction without sex is fairly common in the ant world, but the Mycocepurus smithii is the first known to be a male-free species. The phenomenon takes the stress out of finding a mate and may help keep the peace in colonies, the scientists believe.

Ants endure stress~!??Researchers were first drawn to Mycocepurus smithii by its skill at cultivating various different fungal crops for food but closer inspection raised questions about the ants' sex life.

Janet(s) Napolitano, Reno and Hillary, et.al., are reportedly researching the ant's fungus diet as both a personal, and as an American food garnishment. At taxpayer expense, of course.

Punxsutawney Phil Sees Early Spring, Not Oncoming Traffic

At sunrise today, in quaint Gobbler's Knob, Pennsylvania, Punxsutawney Phil, the climatological groundhog, predicted that Spring will be here on time, as he didn't see his shadow.

Sadly, for the residents of Gobbler's Knob, Phil didn't see the Pennsylvania Highway Department's Road Paint crew either, as he ran into the middle of the road in gleeful celebration.

Services are scheduled for Monday, Feb. 5, 2007

Happy February, everyone!

((Obviously, a repost from ... umm, 6 years ago.  One of my favorites.))

The Benediction

I feel like we've been down this path before together.





On behalf of everyone in Yanush and Talihina you've come to know over the past six-plus years, thank you for making "The Local Malcontent" a small part of your lives.  From Crazy Wanda and grand pappy Spears early, early on, and best buddies Amos and Marty to best enemies Darnell and Oogatlah, from Great great grandfather John Malcontent and Uncle Bok Chuka, from neighbors Dave and Rachael to crackpots Dick and Ahna, and from all the rest, thank you.

From Leticia and Dillon and me, thank you for your love and laughter, your prayers, your hopes and best and highest wishes,
we sincerely send all you the very same.  I genuinely enjoyed reading all of your thoughts on your blogs, and through them 
gettin' to know y'all, some of the finest folks in America.

I really, really thought November would turn out differently- I had fireworks prepared.

I leave Fort Smith for home on Thursday, the radiation treatments over that morning, and back to auditing on December 3, if I remember how.  My next appointment with Dr. Gast is January 2, when she will take another PSA reading to determine if the cancer is in remission.  
If not, then it's hormone treatments, four times a year.

Thank you for putting up with me and my mind's playground here.  For understanding maybe, that this Choctaw wanted the world to see life through our eyes, seeing how we love freedom, crazy liberty in all its facets.

Be strong, stay wise and keep America in your prayers- and I will too.
Listen to the songs of the mocking bird.
So long ~!
