Here We Go Again

2005-10-29T22:52:00.000-04:00

Well it seems like only yesterday these oh so sensitive Muslims were so offended about "piglet" from Winnie the Pooh. Now, they're offended by piggy banks. Yes, piggy banks.

I think it's time to throw down the gauntlet here and every place else. If this continues, then the masses will have changed to become just like these oh so sensitive jihadists. You know what I think would be a hoot. Have the Arkansas Razbacks name their pig mascot, Mo-Ham-Mud, and turn the sucker loose at halftime at each game.

Personally, I'm oinking tired of these people always complaining about something. Thankfully, the above crap is happening in the UK and not here...just yet. I'm hoping there's enough patriots in the USA to keep that from happening here, in spite of the border problems and such.

I recently learned that our local schools are teaching 7th graders about Islam and there's a little bit of backlash going on that our local paper will not dare print. But the word is out through alternative outlets. You can bank on that, and the people are not happy at all.

So,, here's my take. It's a fact that Muslims do not eat pork, as Islamic culture deems the pig to be an impure animal. Well, jump back, Akbar. I enjoy pork. Greasy, fried pork. Makes a wonderful breakfast. Crispy bacon, you know, that comes from a pig. In my opinioin, the pig is cleaner than the Muslims who have taken innocent lives in America. Any culture of people that is offended by a piggy bank surely has weak knees and a yellow streak.

Jihadists? Ha! Afraid of a friggin piggy bank and a cartoon character. Screw you, Achmed. I think I'm gonna have a few beers and about a pound of greasy bacon in your honor.

Religion of Pricks...Offended Again

2005-10-01T16:59:00.000-04:00

Well it seems the Muslims in the U.K. are whining about a novelty item. Oh, these tough as nails religious wimps...offended by a pig...as in Piglet and Winnie the Pooh. And I'm not making this up.

So, I decided to gather my sources, and had the good fortune of being able to interview one of the most rich and famous pigs in the world. Below, is the dialogue between myself, and Arnold Ziffel.

Trambo: Hi Arnold, and thanks for taking my call, and for sharing your valuable time with us today.

Arnold: Oink oink oink...oink oink oink coinky boink.

Trambo: I'd like to ask your opinion regarding the Muslims in the United Kingdom, being offended by toy pigs, novelty items and such, plus, they think pigs are unclean animals. What do you have to say about that?

Arnold: Oink oink oink...oink oink oink coinky (expletive expletive) and Oink oink oink...oink oink oink foinky doinky (expletive expletive expletive expletive)and they can Oink oink oink...oink oink oink chomp chomp oink oink chop chop oink oink my lard ass.

TramboM: Now that's tellin' em, Arnold. May I print that?

Arnold: Oink.

Well, that was the end of that. But his oldest son did say "these idiots have their turbans too tight" and he's glad these Muslim people don't like pigs...and neither do pigs like Muslims. He went on to say he'd never heard of any of his kinfolk beheading anybody, or blowing up buildings and people, or killing people just because they disagree with you, and are easily offended.

In closing, I leave you with Arnold's parting words.(expletive expletive expletive)

Somebody Here Gets It

Once Upon a Time

2005-09-19T23:56:00.000-04:00

I remember back when times were more sane, people were more responsible, and common sense was in play most of the time. Unlike today, when we have nothing but unwashed BS on a daily basis, as the nation has gone from Politically Correct to being Politically Castrated.(hat tip to the war chick on the phrase)

Too many people are expecting handouts, as they have dined at the public trough for way too long. No one wants to earn anything, as they feel everything is owed them. The sad thing is, the government is doing nothing to help wean these people. Instead, Big Gov keeps throwing money at these people, enabling them even more, even though the money is not there to give. Sure, I realize that 911 and the "War on Terror" are costing us big bucks. But who will step up to the plate and fight this "War on Error"...I'm waiting.

The results of Hurricane Katrina are not really about black or white, rich or poor, educated or uneducated, as some of each class has been hit equally as hard. This is about responsibility and doing instead of whining and complaining. There comes a time when people need to just stay quiet and get the job done, and when the job is completed, then you can complain at that time.

We should never, ever feel that we could depend on a government to take care of our needs, as that is not what the government is about. Many politicians, both parties, have used the dumbing down approach to America and her problems. I mean what better way to find a solution (supposedly) as to instigate a problem, or some ordeal for folks. Too many people think the government is like 911 and Santa Claus, all rolled into one. Help me - give me!

As much as I would like to see the people who have lost so much during this last disaster, I think instead of all the billions of dollars being tossed at them, there should be some "sweat equity" involved. The system is already so corrupt, no one can account for much of anything anymore. Look at the millions and billions of dollars that have already been "lost" in the wars we are fighting, as well as the corrupt politicians in Louisiana. And that's only the beginning.

While ranting on responsibility, how about you Muslim people? Have we heard anything about your willingness to help America, rather than try to destroy it? Have any Muslims volunteered to give some of that "sweat equity"...I'm listening.

Speaking of Muslims, how about the fact that these ~~"freedom fighters"~~ terrorists and their mighty jihads. I seriously do not understand how these idiots can find the time to kill people. I mean they've already proven to be a bunch of sniveling, sensitive, whining, brittle cult of people. Come on, you see Allah on an Ice Cream cup lid at Burger King, and you are offended. You want them to stop. You find a shop that sells bath shoes with a design that looks like, to you, Allah, and you whine and cry, and act like a spoiled child. Warriors my ass. We should go ahead and take you miserable people out totally. How can you be taken seriously? What America should do is rise up and slap you all around with a huge pig loin until you give up, shut up, and get the hell out America. We already have enough home grown whiners as it is.

Oh, did I offend you? Well excuse me. Take it up with Mr. Glock. Come on America. Get a backbone and stop bowing down to all these ~~"oppressed"~~ barbaric people. Smack them around and make them like it! The sooner the better.

Give Until It Hurts

2005-09-18T00:16:00.000-04:00

Alright, we all know that Katrina is taking in lots of money, and that's very much appreciated. But, if you want to help some good people out in a pinch, or you can go here and do the same.

He's a good guy... a good family. I encourage you to go drop a few coins in his piggy bank. You'll be glad you did.

Are You Ready to Rumble?

2005-09-16T23:42:00.000-04:00

What say ye? Here we are with a young lady fired from her job in North Carolina, at UNC, and then we have the young man who was arrested for having all this airline pilot's stuff. And the left is hysterical on both accounts.

First off, this young lady that was fired for writing about profiling Arab folks in her area and such, because the local Arabs seemed cool with it, for their own protection, yet she was fired. (Dan Rather, where are you?)

Check out the link regarding this issue.

Next up, there's another link that will walk you through this ordeal with this Arab dude who has a fetish for being an Airline Pilot.

My opinion, I have to agree with Gov. Romney. Arab profiling? You bet. Piss 'em off? Who cares. Keep America safe, regardless of who it pisses off.

What say ye?

Well...who can argue with this?

2005-09-11T22:09:00.000-04:00

So, don't mess with me if I'm having a bad day. I'm an old fart, and I'm entitled to this! Ya dig?

The Big Easy? Yea, and Here’s Why

2005-09-02T13:29:00.000-04:00

I’ve heard enough news this week to last a lifetime. I’ve seen enough grand standing and finger pointing to last even longer than that. I’ve heard the Governor and Mayor refrain from any responsibility. I’m not a brilliant man, by any means, but I found this to be so obvious, that it actually astounded me to arrive at this conclusion.

Allow me to say this, as I begin. My heart breaks for all the people in these places that have been turned into disaster zones. I ache for them and their circumstances. I feel the need to be up front about that, before I get to my rant. I figure I will be accused of many things that aren’t true, but that’s nothing new. I have thick skin, so I can handle that.

The Big Easy. Looking at those three words, what immediately comes to mind is “undue tolerance”. For centuries, places such as New Orleans has been home to the culture of anything goes. The last time I was there, I saw it up close and personal. It wasn’t a pretty sight. I’m not opposed to fun at all. But I am opposed to lawlessness. As a whole, America and her society has always been a society of benevolence, one that has an inclination to perform kind, charitable acts, and I applaud that. However, there has always been a small percentage of the dregs of society who have outlived their usefulness, and are nothing but a leech on mankind. Always has been, always will be.
When a minority of the population has the ability to set the tone of how things are going to be, thus, we have The Big Easy. And it’s not just in New Orleans. The country as a whole has become The Big Easy. We, as a nation, as a government have always thrown money and aid to all friends and foe, and always with a kind heart. Always turning the other cheek when others are having a tough time. Unaffordable, yes. But it’s never stopped us before. It’s a sad situation when we seen law enforcement officers leave their jobs, because of fear. Fear from a small minority. Our own government depends on our own government for protection. How sick is that?
I learned a long time ago that the only one who can take care of me is me. Sure, I have friends and family that will and have chipped in when I couldn’t manage, and I’m very thankful for that. However, I am not dependent upon them for my well being. In my opinion, people have become too accustomed to allowing “someone else” to make things better, and today we are seeing the results of that, failures and all. Yes, tolerance is killing America...one disaster at a time. Political Correctness run amuck. While I agree with the precept that saving lives is more important than chasing looters, there still comes a time when you must make a decision. And a decision was made. Give up the rescue and half heartedly go after the law breakers. Then, give it all up, because things are so out of hand, even the Law Enforcement people are not effective.
So now, the City and State are calling on Federal troops for help. What has happened to the planning before the disaster struck? Why weren’t the sick and afflicted in all the hospitals moved to a safer place before disaster struck? Where was the plan? There was no plan except for the thought of the leaders hoping “it will pass us by this time...again.” With the role of being a leader, comes responsibility. To whom much is given, much is required. It’s more than a cliche. It’s an absolute, else it’s a failure waiting to happen.
It’s been a sad experience to watch all these hopeless people begging for someone to help them, to get them out of the mess they’re in. I’m tired of the elites talking down about how the federal government is not doing enough for the people in need, knowing that as soon as some are plucked out of this terrible situation, they will turn back around and curse the very ones who have come to their rescue. Yea, The Big Easy alright. Ask the Mayor. I heard his profanity laced tirade on the radio. Yes, he sounds like a real leader. Telling people to give him the power and he will fix all this. Duh. No thanks, he’s done enough already. People like him, the Governor, and all the other people who have done nothing but blamed everyone else for their plight, I do not want to depend on them for well being. Neither will I depend on George Bush for my well being.
For those of you who can’t see the forest for the trees, I say to you. When you’re tired and hungry, forget about trying to help yourself. Sit down on a curb side somewhere and scream out for the government to help you and see what happens. You’ll see what the Big Easy is all about.
I hope many valuable lessons are learned from this tragedy, less we go through it time and time again. As for me, I pray that common sense and real leadership will help lead New Orleans and all the fine people out of this mess. But still, I don’t think the term Big Easy is a real badge of honor at the moment.

You Loot - We Shoot

2005-09-01T00:18:00.000-04:00

Well, where there is no moral authority, there is no legal authority. Simple as that. These thugs, yes thugs, Revs. Jackson and Sharpton. Damned thugs. Friggin thugs. How's that? These thugs who loot and steal and prey upon someone's misfortune, should die of a quick dose of lead poisoning. Justice should be served three different ways...hard, fast, and continuously. Period.

You see, down here, we don't cotton to that PC crap. We stick together. There may be a local feud from time to time, but when someone intrudes, then you have to mess with the whole lot of us. It's time the good governor of Louisiana and the Mayor of New Orleans, wake up and smell the gunpowder. There's a war about to happen there, and there is nobody in charge. At all.

Come on. We've seen videos of cops, male and female, going into Walmart and having a free shopping spree, and laughing about it. Guess what? They should be shot as well, just to make an example. Harsh, you might say. Nope. Not at all. It's a case of looters law....it's cheaper to kill 'em... it only takes 6 to bury 'em... takes 12 to try 'em. Are you able to do the math there?

When no one is in charge, things always get outta hand. As comedian James Gregory explains in one of his shows: until the early 90's, handguns in schools were unheard of. Why? Because we've turned into a nation of pissers, whiners, and moaners, there are no real men left today. All of you my age or near it (55 here) can safely say, that when you were 12 years old, and if your dad caught you with a firearm, he would stick it where the sun never shines...and dare you to crap. Today, we call a family meeting. Yank-Yank. The first time a teacher fires back, that's the end of guns in classrooms. Parents would check their kid's rooms, even pat them down before they left for school, telling them... you'd better not have a damned gun. Cause that teacher's gonna kill your ass. Is that not true? I mean, look. The most fearsome thing the idiots fear today is second hand smoke. What does that tell you?

But I digress. What needs to happen is for these looters to experience a little old fashioned accountability. Yep, painful, I know...but it works. As my old grandpa used to say..."sometimes you have to lose some dignity in order to gain some respect." So true. If he were only alive today.

Dodging a Bullet? I Don't Think So...

2005-08-30T00:07:00.000-04:00

I've sat here glued to the computer since Saturday evening, watching Hurricane Katrina unfold. And unfold, she did.

I've watched videos, have seen pictures, and have endured countless hours of information overload since this storm began. I'm not sure what really peaked my interest in this particular hurricane, unless it was some death wish for others. I'm sure that wasn't it, because I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

After a day of reading everything available on line and sifting the net for more information, it was a helluva ride. Especially with all the video footage and pictures that surfaced late Monday night. Regardless of what category this hurricane was considered, there was a lot of damage done to many locations in several states, and the spin off of tornadoes farther east was even more astounding.

I sat and watched the New Orleans Police rescue quite a few people from their washed out homes, as they were stranded on roof tops, begging for help. Thankfully, help arrived. It would bring tears to your eyes. To see the reaction of the people rescued, was worth the price to watch.

This disaster does not need to be a political event. There's no room for it and there's no time for it. Now is the time for everyone to pull together and strive for a common goal... to rebuild the city. And I believe the good people of the state of Louisiana will do just that.

This is no time to talk about "dodging a bullet", because from what I've seen and heard, they didn't dodge anything. The only thing that happened is the fact that this hurricane didn't cause as much destruction as anticipated, but that was due to the path the storm finally took. Other than that, everything that was predicted would have come to pass.

Anyway, in my humble opinion, now is the time for the rest of us to stand behind and stand with the people who have suffered the losses than many of us will never understand. Don't worry about what anyone else says... just go with your gut. After all, we're Americans. And let's hope we do the right thing.

God bless these people who have suffered such a loss. My heart goes out to them all.

Do you remember, as a kid, learning about the so-called writing spider? I’m sure there are many different versions of what happens when a kid sees one of these things. I was always told you had to cover your mouth, don’t let it count your teeth or you would die. Another one was if it wrote out your name....ta da. Last rites and all that.

Another thing that made me such a well-behaved child in the presence of my grandfather was, he would tell me if he took a screwdriver, and undid my belly button, my legs would fall off. I never had one whipping from him. All he had to do was, give me that look, and show me the screwdriver. I was better behaved than any trained pup!

Anyway, back to the writing spider. You can view some of the handiwork of the argiope spider. And if you’re interested in even more, there you are.

Now, that we’ve introduced you to or reacquainted you with this writing spider, listen to this. I have heard from extremely placed sources that our Congress is trying to put together a bill, a piece of legislation, that would place a terrible hardship on these valuable writing spiders. The Congress will be pushing through a law that would require all writing spiders to be required to go back and write a second version in their web, in Spanish. Our country is toast!

I was sitting outside earlier having some creative moments when I was interrupted and brought back to reality by the sound of what I would call “Mexican Rap”. Funny thing is, less than a minute later, this automobile pulls up to the Mexican place across the street, and out jumps 3 females and 2 males. To myself, I thought...I sure like these odds!

I tell you the truth. After doing a little research regarding Mexican Rap, I discovered a goldmine. I’m seriously thinking about setting up a tip jar so I can afford myself one of these cool belt buckles. I’ll let you know what I decide to do.

I think this is kinda dumb. You have quite the contrast here. Check it out. This one is on me.

Get Along Home, Cindy, Cindy

2005-08-16T17:03:00.000-04:00

The new drama queen for the media has really gotten old. I’m very sorry that Cindy Sheehan lost a son in this war. And I would be the first to say she is entitled to grieve in any way she sees fit and for as long as she sees fit. However, when the grieving turns to grand standing, it’s time for her to move on.

Her son, Casey, enlisted in the Army, and then re-enlisted after his first tour was up. He even volunteered for the mission that would take his life. I’m no defender of President Bush, but please, Ms Sheehan, George Bush did not murder your son. And the over the top rhetoric you spew about Israel and Palestine is equally tiresome. You whine and complain and snivel and make demands of President Bush. You bash the USA. You say America isn’t worth fighting for. So, if these are your true words, then may I suggest you take your whimpering ass to some country where you would feel more comfortable. Say Palestine, Iran, or Korea.

Please enlighten us dimwits who can’t and do not understand what makes you so special and so smart, above all the rest of the grieving parents who have lost sons and daughters in the war. You are being used and are too dumb to see it. You blame everything that has happened in your life on something, anything but yourself and your actions. Why aren’t you with your family? Why aren’t you being a mother to your children and a wife to your husband? I read today that your husband has filed for divorce. Bless your heart, look what George Bush has done now. Not only has he murdered your son, he’s killed your marriage as well.

If I were you, I would take a few days off and read aloud all the things you’ve said. Review all the TV appearances and the things you’ve said. Look at yourself and be extremely honest. Take a very serious inventory of yourself. Afterwards, tell the people how insane and lost you have become. I pity you, Cindy Sheehan, to have so much hatred bottled up and no guts to seek the truth...I’m not talking about it being all Bush’s fault. No mam...I’m talking about being responsible for your own insanity. The best thing I can say about you is that you are certainly no role model. Good luck to you.

Trambo’s Discourses

2005-08-14T23:24:00.000-04:00

Yea, that’s what we’re gonna call this notion...Trambo’s Discourses.

And here we go...

I arrived on this planet back in 1950. And from what I recall during my childhood, things were pretty good. We were dirt poor, but I didn’t know it. Everyone I knew back when I was a child were dirt poor as well. But we were ignorant of the fact. We had fun in spite of it.

In the good old days, you didn’t need a certain social status to claim your space. Yes, there have always been cliques, but still, 50 years ago, things were much easier for regular folks. And of course, back in those days, techology was not applicable as it is today.

Think about it, if you’re a boomer. If you were born in 1950-1955, then you would know how things were when you were growing up. Especially, if you grew up in the South, it was an added education. People would leave home to go on their vacations, leave their homes open, windows open and all, and the neighbors could be trusted to take care of things “if it happened to come up a cloud.”

Schools regularly had “Chapel” services every Wednesday morning. A local Pastor would come to the school and speak to the Student Body, and the entire school was always respectful. Back in those days, the only bad things to happen on the school grounds would be: someone fired a spitball in class, some underclassman was smoking outside, or someone skipped school without permission...that was it. No guns, no violence. No need for cops to be in schools. No drugs to be tested for. Yep, this was pretty much Mayberry, USA during those times.

Also, back in the good old days, you could discipline children. In layman terms, you could tear their dogcarts up! Understand?
Back then, there wasn’t a need for a SWAT team or such, No need for Neighborhood Watch clubs either. Kids didn’t take guns to school, and students didn’t give the teachers any lip, else they got their butts kicked at home. Very simple rules back then. You respected your neighbor and your parents and you pretty much always did what was right. When you screwed up , you knew it immediately. There was always this little voice hovering over me saying “that was wrong...you should not have made that choice.”....and I can’t argue with the facts, because that’s how it was.

But, today we see no respect from the young people who are in school. They have rights, you know. The left has seen to it. Who would dare discipline a student today, due to the weak-knee reaction of the PC crowd? There’s no such thing today as personal responsibility. None at all. Don’t take my word for it. Go into your own town and take some time to walk the streets. The education will not take long at all.

Where does the fault lie? Well, I would say it’s at least two-fold. It’s the fault of the Federal Government, and it’s the fault of the people who depend on that welfare check. The Federal Government has made it too easy for the welfare crowd to remanin on the government teat, and there’s no exit strategy to get them off the teat. It matters not who is running the administration. You cannot live a productive life if you always have your hand out for a gimme.

Another problem is the borders. We allow more diseases, more thugs, more drugs, and more trash to come into this country with no questions asked. But of course, they’re here to do the jobs Americans won’t do. Yeah, right. They live 20 or so in a single dwelling and send tons of money back home. Well alright. Way to go America.

Lastly, for all the people who question the integrity of this great country of ours. I do not place my faith in the men and women who run the country. That would be a letdown of monumental proportions. I know what I know and that’s the way it is, the same as everyone else out there. But for now, I’ll say that this is the best country in the world. Else, why do so many people want to come here? Illegal or not. In spite of our leadership.

Oh well, the chips will fall where they may, and some of us will have to dig a little deeper.

Filibuster This...

2005-07-11T11:30:00.000-04:00

Having seen, read, and heard all the hoopla regarding the substantial resignations coming from the Supreme Court, the folks in power are in quite a take. The left has already stated that anyone thought to be “extreme” would be filibustered, and the right would have a huge fight on their hands.

Looking at the choices that are available, being honest about the situation, there is not a lot of hope for true conservatives to even get a foot in the door of the SCOTUS. So, with those thoughts in mind, let’s look at how things would be if King Solomon, the son of David, the former King of Israel, were brought before the Senate for the nomination of Chief Justice to the Supreme Court. Things should get really interesting.

The libs have claimed to want a "judge with a big heart." Last time I checked, a big heart was not a major qualification to become a Justice of that particular court...or any other courts, for that matter. No, what the libs would prefer would be someone who would screw the constitution, have them "make laws" that would permit anything akin to whining, screaming, lying, cheating, stealing, and pandering to every outcast society holds.

I am so sick of both political parties. Neither are of any particular use to the country. The Dems are always over the top, but they do stick together. On the other hand, the Pubs are always caving to the demands of their opponents, and have yet to show any backbone. The present administration has a golden opportunity to finally reset the course of the country via the Supreme Court nominations but, yet, not a peep on what they have in mind.

Of course, we all hear how "well, this time Bush will really step up to the plate." Yea, right. Personally, I'd like to see him step up the the plate regarding more than the Supreme Court deal. I'd like to see him stop pandering to illegals, stop pandering to Palestine, stop pandering to the Saudis, stop wasting money overseas, stop acting like a damned Democrat.

Those familiar with the Bible story of Solomon, regarding the two women who both claimed to be the mother of the same child. Some thought he was nuts because he told the pair to cut the child in half, and each could have a total portion. In all his wisdom, Solomon knew the real mother would not allow that because of the woman's love for her child. If the left were presented the same sort of choice, I feel somehow they would find another way to "eminent domain" in regards to the child. Yes, Solomon had a big heart but he also had wisdom.

By today's standards, Solomon would be considered very extreme... and to the right. After all, he did serve his God. And he was blessed by his God. Solomon had tremendous wealth, but not because he kept begging and praying for it. His utmost desire was for God to grant him wisdom. And God did just that. As a little bonus the wealth was thrown in. Solomon would be called a radical and would be considered part of the religious right, (as opposed to the sacreligious left?). He wouldn't stand a chance, because he would strive to do what was genuinely right... not polically correct. He would take a stand. He would not be an appeaser nor would he be a yes man. He would be a fine choice for Chief Justice. After all, what harm would it bring to the country to actually have an honest and Godly man on the bench?

But, of course, there will be some who will argue! To them I say... bring it!

What if

2005-07-01T00:02:00.000-04:00

I read here that Rummy would be the Grand Marshall for the Pepsi 400. Wouldn't it be cool if he gave the command "Gentlemen...Bring it on" instead of the "gentlemen, start your engines?" Honestly, what do you think?

Teddy Kennedy - True “Patriot”

2005-06-29T23:56:00.000-04:00

It has been learned via a very reliable source, that Boston Patriots owner, Robert Kraft lost his Super Bowl Ring, to Russian President Vladimir Putin, as Putin did the sleight of hand and tucked the ring into his coat pocket. Cool!
It was said that Putin responded: “He gave it to me as a trophy, because he knows I am a true patriot. And I’m a big fan, too.”
Calls to both parties went unanswered at press time. We regret that deeply.

Oh well. At least we know Putin's loyalties!

oej

Update: I have learned that Teddy Kennedy has volunteered to swim to Russia, for Mr. Kraft, and bring the ring back to him. Kennedy said it was the least he could do, knowing how he had been treated so kindly, previously.

Update 2: Teddy Kenedy has vowed to make it back in 30 days,as he has said that he doesn't have the hot air that he used to have. How about that for honesty?

The Speech

2005-06-28T16:40:00.000-04:00

I received from well placed sources that President Bush and Sneator John Kerry have been exchanging emails throughout the day, and it has become very heated. I won't take the time to list the contents of each email individually, but here are most of the exchanges, verbatim:

Kerry: Ok George. I dare you to use the speech I emailed you. So, are you gonna do it, bright boy?

Bush: Senator, have you been into those raisins again?

Kerry: You afraid, George? You scared my intellect will show you up?

Bush: Why do you keep it up, Senator? I already kicked your ass in JibJab.

Kerry: So you're not gonna give my speech tonight? You coward!

Bush: Go suck an egg, Senator.

Kerry: Ok. That's it. You'll regret this.

Bush: Go surfing or something. Clear your head, Senator.

Kerry: George, I hearby challenge you to a duel. The old fashioned kind of duels. You know, with real guns and all.

Bush: Haha. You own a hand gun, Senator. Hahahaha. Wait'll I tell Rummy about that.

Kerry: Are you afraid, George?

Bush: Bring it on.

Kerry: You bring it on first.

Bush: Bring it on.

Kerry: No, you first.

Bush: Come on, Senator, let's duel. I'm ready to put a little Texas two-step on you.

Kerry: Yea, right. You think I'm scared, don't you?

Bush: Bring it on, tough guy.

Kerry: You first.

Well, time is running out, so hopefully we'll here more about this later in the newsday. Stay tuned!

The Email

2005-06-22T16:57:00.000-04:00

The Email

I would like to share with you some startling news. I received an email that was a copy of a scanned document, that had been previously scanned from another copy, that had been destroyed by the original author, that had been sent to a friend of his, that had heard about the original document, that was thought to have been previously destroyed, but not before it could be copied by a secretary on a regular typewriter...and it’s from someone who is supposed to be a friend of a friend of a cousin of a friend of Sen. Richard J. Durbin. However, I cannot verify any of this, but that really doesn’t matter, because I suspect the content of the email is true, even though it could be fake. Who knows? Anyway, I’m hoping the main stream media will pick up on this soon so we can get to the bottom of this, so that the outrage can begin and heads can roll.

Here is the email:

From: xxxx@xxx.xxx

To: xxxxxxxx

Subject: The Email

It has been called to my attention that Senators Kennedy and Durbin were seen at a bar in DC, late night, and at first glance, it appeared they were in the company of several women, all of whom were unrelated to the two senators. After careful investigation, it was discovered that the women were actually transvestites, who were lobbying (oops, did I say lobbying?) Senator Kennedy regarding this new piece of legislation called Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act of 2005 (S. 1145). This is not the first time Senator Kennedy has pushed this piece of legislation and will probably not be the last.

According to my sources, the two Senators and their lobbyists companions ducked into a private room and partied until the wee hours of dawn. It was said that Kennedy could be heard singing loudly, and off key, “I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles.” Well, the funny part is, one of these trannies had a huge tattoo on the left forearm that said “Bubbles”. Just before daybreak, the group of “friends” were seen exiting the club, and Senator Kennedy offered the trio of guests a ride, but they declined, asking Senator Durbin if he will hail a cab for them. I will let you know as more is revealed.

Signed,

Hypocrisy At it’s Finest

2005-06-22T00:12:00.000-04:00

Mahmoud Abbas, the head of the make believe place of Palestine, has once again, shown his true colors. Does he strive for peace? Nope. Does he want to reel in the terrorists? Nope. Does he care about a road map to peace? Nope. Then what good is he?

Well, actually, he is good for terrorism in his “homeland”. Land that does not even remotely belong to his people. Why in the world Bush and company does not have a deck of cards with Abbas and his band of thugs modelling the cover is beyond me. I mean, a pig is a pig is a pig. Period!

We have seen from the outset, since the death, finally, of their beloved leader Arafat, that all things remain the same. Lots of nice words and lip service, but yet reverting to the same old stuff. I have wondered lately if Abbas and company have a contract with Strap on Tools? You know, the kind that makes those nice little suicide belts and vests and all.

I was reading about a young female that had explosives hidden in her panties, and was going to set it off in a hospital in Israel. How sweet it is. She even claimed that someone “hid them there”. Duh! Can you tell me with a straight face that someone could “hide” 20+ pounds of explosives in your underwear and you wouldn’t be the wiser? Give me a break. Talk about packing heat. That takes it to a whole new dimension. I can imagine, “Hey baby, are you that glad to see me, or is that explosives in your panties.”

Like the leaders in our country, these terrorists are pure and simple thugs. The only difference being is that Congress will not respect us in the morning. Both sides make promises they can’t and won’t keep, and keep telling lies on top of lies, hoping to sweet talk their way into some corridor somewhere so they can kill a bunch of innocent people. It’s time for the Bush administration to say to Abbas to put up or shut up. Plain and simple. Will they go away? No! They must be met with unrelenting force, now, and forever more. I say, turn the people loose and allow them to do what is necessary to remain a free people. If we can “take the fight to them”, then why shouldn’t Israel be afforded the same? Just something to think about!

Recess is For Kids - Work is for Adults

2005-06-21T15:36:00.000-04:00

Hey Congress. Do America a huge favor. You people are due to recess July 4th, for what I'm sure is a much needed rest, as all you thugs have accomplished is butting heads with one another. During your trivial pursuit of the juvenile games somewhere between hang-man and blind man's bluff, you have lost touch with why you are there. You were voted in office by the people to work for the people. Guess what? It ain't happening. The whole lot of you are nothing more than spoiled rich brats who do nothing more than play childish games, while collecting a large salary for just being there. If you folks would be so kind, do not go back to Washington, please! You've done enough damage already.

With the wars our forces are fighting, plus the wars the Congress are fighting amongst themselves, it's a waste of time and money to have you clowns in office. Shut the government down...please. All you have to show for your time there is spending on foolish things, throwing the peoples money away, leaving the borders open, jobs still going down the tubes, homes being foreclosed at a rapid rate, plus your whining and bickering and posturing for some face time on TV. Thank you very much, but you've done enough already.

Each one of you make a very good argument to the American people for term limits. You all are a bunch of lying, cheating, spineless, unethical, whoring low lifes who couldn't make it away from the government teat. That's all you know...and you've made quite the lively hood of sucking. So give us a break, and suck your ass back to where you came from. Leave America alone. We cannot afford you any longer. You have in no way earned your keep, and frankly, it's very doubtful that you ever will.

Enjoy your recess time, but please, stay on the playground. We adults don’t need you. We deserve better.

Someone please enlighten me. Does this Deep Throat character have a bastard child, known as the collective media...named "Sore Throat"... the way they have been rah-rahing this guy. DAY-UM!

One other thing, and I'm off to enjoy what's left of the weekend. Think about this. Regarding the Koran, Quoran, or however you want to spell it...and all the hoopla over the "disrespect" and such for this sacred book...here's my solution. Take them away. Don't allow these thugs to have such "luxuries"...after all...and I'm only gonna say this once, so please get it the first time. These people at Gitmo are Prisoners...not Parishioners.

Have a nice weekend!

Another Kind of War

2005-06-01T00:31:00.000-04:00

It’s not enough that we’re battling terrorists in foreign lands. We must also battle them on the home front as well, especially in Massachusetts. Don’t take my word for it. Go here and see for yourself.

I began to correspond with these people in February 2001. As I had a daughter at the time who was only 13 years old, and was concerned about what she was being taught at her school in South Carolina. I received an audio cassette along with some documents explaining what this organization was about. After playing the tape and reading the documents, I was irate, to say the least.

After doing a lot of research, I discovered that anywhere from 2-4% of the population in the USA are openly gay and up to 12% total, that have not come out of the closet. Say the number is 12%. That leaves 88% as not gay. So riddle me this…why are we taking a beating regarding this issue? We clearly have the numbers on our side, yet, this small minority are winning more and more. There is something definitely wrong with this picture.

Why are our schools allowed to openly promote the gay lifestyle, yet Christianity is a no-no? Why are teachers allowed to openly promote the gay lifestyle, yet, Christians are marked as freaks? Doesn’t add up to me, in regards to the numbers that come into play. We are the majority folks. When are we going to act like it? This PC crap is killing this country. These people are openly going after out children at a rapid pace, and they are winning. And whose fault is it? Look in the mirror.

Many people are too encumbered by a career to care. Many people are too busy to care. Many people take the attitude of “it doesn’t bother me” so why should I care. All in all, it’s disgusting to see such an overwhelming majority succumb to such deviation. We’re too busy to care. We’re too busy trying to make our fortune. We’re too busy at everything, so we always assume “someone else” will take care of the problem.

Listen, this whole gay thing is wrong, to say the least. If it were cool, then why God’s urban renewal plan for Soddam and Gohmorra? It was and still is, an abomination unto God. Period. No legislation can re-write what God has authored. No man can come against the written Word and be successful. That’s the way it is and will always be.

Since we are in the majority, then why aren’t we in the driver’s seat? I’ll tell you why. It’s because we all await someone else to do the heavy lifting. I realize this is not a popular topic, but I really don’t care. You can change your opinion but you can’t change the facts. Wrong is wrong.

Hopefully, in the near future, America will awake from her slumber and reclaim what is right. In the meantime, the terrorists in these foreign countries are the least of my worries. I don’t have to answer to what they do. I’ll be held accountable for what I do...right or wrong. If we don’t change our ways very soon, you can bank on a day of reckoning. And it won’t be a pretty sight.

After all, anything derogatory said about anything called sin is now considered to be hate speech...even the Bible. So be it. It was stated thousands of years ago how things would be today, and it is coming to pass in our lifetime. All I can say is be vigilant. Keep the faith. Do not be faint of heart...we win!

To those of you who claim to be "born this way"... I say to you...Be born again! What do you have to lose?

Coming to a City Near You

2005-05-28T21:38:00.000-04:00

I’m more than fed up with the media blitz and lies regarding the “disrespect" for the Quoran. First of all, I would like to know what makes these prisoners so special that they are allowed to have “their bibles”, but our kids in our schools are denied the right to have their bibles in schools. Prisoners, especially these peaceful Muslims, are allowed more respect and more rights than our own kids. Tell you what, big guv...bite me.

The reason this country is in such a sad shape and the world hates is not because of our freedoms and our wealth and all the other stuff the media claims. They hate us because here at home, the terrorists realize that nearly 50% of the people here are wimps. Nearly 50% of this country think we can sit down with these people and have a rational conversation, and if we cower low enough, then they will leave us alone. Yea, right.

As we allow the borders to remain open, it can bring nothing but trouble. As we continue to kiss Saudi ass, it can bring nothing but trouble. As we continue to give money to the terrorists in Palestine, it can bring nothing but trouble. And, until we the people, band together and remove the thugs via the ballot box, it will bring nothing but trouble.

I’ve been doing a bit of searching and discovered this site, and I think you will find it very helpful…and very much informative. When you get to the site, utilize it. Check it out. Type in your Zip Code and do a 20 or 30 mile search. Find out all you can. Pass the link on to friends. May we all discover what’s going on. We may be fighting these Muslims in Iraq at the moment, but you can bet the farm we’ll be fighting them on our home turf sooner than you would think. And we need to strike first, but the whole country is not up to the task. The media would crucify us…again..

That’s all I have to say on this for now. Work the link and pass it on.

Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend. Last, but not least, thank you to all the brave service people who have answered the call. God Bless you all.

Down the Pipes

2005-05-19T23:54:00.000-04:00

Well, after all the hoopla regarding the holy bible of the Muslim people being flushed down the john, and yet, still nothing confirmed. And I've seen several sources on the net, providing video that this just doesn't flush...at all. Doesn't pass the flush test...at all.

So, why all the uproar? First, we have an Administration irate that damage has been done to the relationship between the countries, and 15-17 people lost their lives because of the violence of the Muslims. So who's to blame? Newsweek or the Religion of Peace?

Sure, what the magazine did was stupid, but...these people who are living about 15 centuries behind the rest of the world, what do you expect? Doesn't take much to set them off. They're led by their supreme prophet, Allah. According to the alphabet, after Allah, comes Bubba. How poetic.

They say they desire to take over the world. I've got news for them. I've read the back of the book... we win!

It's ironic that the thugs such as Zarqawii end up running like a coward. He bails on his people when the going gets tough. He's a bad dude when he feels safe. But in pursuit, he's a coward. I realize they're considered "extremeists", but, where is the outrage in the Muslim community in America? Why the silence?

I will say this. It's a disgrace that there is no media play of anything good coming from anywhere across the globe. You know, we sure could use a little good news today. I'm sure it's out there. It's just too much of a burden to print it, right?

I don't expect anything to change, except maybe the regular media becoming history. They won't dare be fair, and they won't dare be accurate or truthful. We'll see subscriptions falter and less attention to these dinosaurs. And we'll be all the better for it.

Sweet Revenge

2005-05-18T23:45:00.000-04:00

I happen to have been listening to some old music of many variations this evening, and one that stands out, lyric wise, is an old John Prine tune called “Sweet Revenge”. So, I would suppose that’s the direction this article will take. So, now is the time to stay or leave. Your call!

I’m so tired of this Democrat vs Republican thing in the Senate. When is the last time these people ever did anything for the good of the country? Okay, I’m waiting............ never?

This crap regarding the rift between the Dems and Pubs about this judgeship thing is way outta hand. Neither party cares about the country....it’s all about political power...Period!

What’s even scarier is the thought about these same people control our government. Hey, do us a favor. I’ve said it over and over. Shut the government down. What harm can it cause?

Look, all you have to do is answer a few questions. The same questions I have asked myself, and answered. So, here goes.

Does the government protect me? Well, if they do, why do I own a couple of weapons?

Does my government keep me fed? Well, if they do, why do I have to buy groceries on a weekly basis?

Does the governnment take care of my meds? Well, if they do, why am I spending over $800 per month on three perscriptions?

Does the government make sure my auto unsurance is paid? Nope, I have to handle that myself.

Now, finding all these “bad facts” against the USA, I say this. If you prefer the life of Islam, have at it. The biggest majority of the USA are tired of hunkering down to you people. If you’re offended here and don’t like it here....go home. And that is a very simple thing to accomplish. Let me type it again...Go Home! How’s that?

Look, when we get “offended” by some BS press, we just laugh it off. You bunch of barbarians have to kill people. The Religion of Peace my ass... and your dumb ass as well. You are not even worthy to be called a cult. You are idiots. Plain freaking idiots.

I’m so tired of other countries pounding on us, but yet, they receive tons of money in foreign aid. I say, cut out ALL foreign aid. Let them eat cake! Seriously.

Another thing that bothers me is that Islam wants to take over the world, including the USA, yet the government wants to do a song and dance with us and them. Why? Why not call a spade a spade? Afterall, Bush did say “you’re either for us or against us”, did he not? So, let’s do that across the board, huh George? The borders and all that. I'm just sayin...........

Well anyway, here’s how I see it.. take it or leave it.. won’t cost either of us a dime. If America does not unhinge itself from this PC mess, she/we will never move another inch forward. Don’t take my word for it. Look at history. There’s nothing more that most nations would wish for our country, and that would be Sweet Revenge, via someone bombing us back into the stoneage. Is it possible? Who knows. Is it likely? Could be.

What say ye?

“Fill ‘er, buster”

2005-05-13T10:05:00.000-04:00

Having listened to an audio clip of the grand poobah himself, and made available at Radio Blogger, has me convinced that Robert Byrd has no usefulness left, whatsoever.

In his pitiful attempt at waxing wisdom, Byrd comes across as the dumb country bumpkin that he truly is. Nothing more - nothing less. A man who will use a Bible story to appear bipartisan, who will state several times that he is a "born again Christian", and that he and his wife were both "dunked"...well, what good can be said of the old man? The sad part of the nearly 6 minute ramblings, several times, ole Sheets became tangled when trying to say "born again Christian". Mr. Byrd, I know Bible teachers...and you're no Bible teacher.

While the powder puffs of the Senate do nothing at all for our country, in times of war, rising gas prices, a not so pleasant economy, and wide open borders, these clowns are playing "top this" between themselves while not accomplishing a damned thing. Unfortunately, this is quite the norm.

Byrd reminds Frist that "the worm turns". Gee, how prophetic, Senator, you being the worm and all. So, ladies and genlemen of the Senate. Do your country a favor. Shut down...go home...get a real job.

Let’s Pull Their Feeding Tubes

2005-05-03T22:04:00.000-04:00

Say what? Yes, let’s pull their feeding tube. Allow me to introduce to you, “their”. The fine folks who take up air and space in DC, and are known as members of the house and senate, and various other shady jobs and titles...that my friends, is “their”, of which I write.

Many of these shysters have been sucking up to the government teat for way too long. We’re not getting representation...we’re getting reprehension. We the people, should rise above these thugs and demand term limits. Two and out. All those who have served beyond that, as of the next election, well, update your resume!

The next big thing would be the lobbyists. As we have seen for many years, on both sides of the political spectrum, our most beloved elected are not working for the people, or the country. They’re working for that next election, and taking money from lobbyists, who in turn, begin to fatten them up for the next election before the present election is even held. These folks are party and special interests players. Look at the budget. Does this say they are taking care of our country? Look at the debt. Look at the borders. Look at unemployment. Just look around, period.

The thing that gets me is this. How many billions of dollars have we handed out in the last 4 years or so? I grow tired of hearing about “Faith Based Initiatives”, and how they should be the ones to feed the hungry, clothe the unclothed, and etc. Fine. But hey, wouldn’t that work in Afghanistan, Iraq, Africa, and every place else around the globe? How about letting these countries’ “faith based people” take care of their own mess, and we keep our money here, and not prop up all those religions of peace. Heh. Indeed.

My own state’s representatives have been discussing a bill that would allow illegals who have worked here for a certain number of years, attended school here, to be allowed to be the same tuition at our universities as the residents pay. Come on, this is thuggery. The same term limits should apply for states as well. And we would reap the same results.

These people who represent the USA remind me of child actors. You know, little kids who begin to play “grown up”. Remember those days. Unfortunately, that is what we are getting. Not too much of a return on our investment, if you ask me.
These leaders pretend they are all knowing and all important, but ask one of them the price of a tube of toothpaste and it’ll be “I’ll get back to you on that”.

People, it’s time we all got together and made a few demands. Of course they won’t listen. Who expects them to? We can all get together at the ballot box, come ‘06 and again in ‘08. Our motto should be “Results - Not Excuses”. Worked for my 7th grade teacher. Should work for the rest of them. Tell you what...dedicate 1 portion of a day...at least 3-4 hours, and listen to “both sides” politically. Whether it’s TV or radio, or streaming off the net. Just take the time to listen. Then, think about what I’ve written here, and make a decision.

Pen Pal From Prison

2005-04-22T21:20:00.000-04:00

You know, it seemed too odd to even glance twice at the article, but I started reading, and as they say, the rest is history. The story was written by a female inmate who was searching for a shoulder to cry on. Someone to correspond with and not judge her for the crime she committed. She found out that her man had assaulted her sister, so she shot him, in self defense, when she confronted the man about it. Anyway, this is only the beginning. Sierra is 40ish, no kids, no husband, and not much of any kin left, so she decided to take to the net, and that’s how this article was birthed.

Below is an intro about this female:
Hello, my name is Sierra. I'm a 5'7", 135 lbs., Spanish, single 41 year old woman looking for a loving and caring man to start a friendship, and possibly more. I'll be released soon and I'm willing to relocate. Especially in the USA, because I don’t know if the immigration thing will have passed by the time I get outta here. I’m into meditation and lots of body oil. Oil is the coolest thing. I don’t even want to go there.
I enjoy romantic nights out with my man. I drink, smoke, and swear a good bit, and I love to work out. My favorite sports are bike riding, swimming, dwarf tossing, and horseshoes. I am a C.P.A., never been married, and have no children. And I have never been to college.
I am very lonely in here, so please write and ask any questions. I'm very open minded. And I’m a liberal. And I think Tree Hugging should be an Olympic Sport. However, I ain’t never seen any Virgin Mary in Chicago salt stains. And you can quote me on that.

SEX: Female RACE: Hispanic
D.O.B.: 8/21/1961
HEIGHT: 5'7" WEIGHT: 135 lbs.
EYE COLOR: Brown HAIR COLOR: Brown
CONVICTED OF: 2nd Degree Murder
LENGTH OF SENTENCE: 15 years
INCARCERATION DATE: June 1993
CURRENT RELEASE DATE: February 2008

Sierra is a very attractive lady. She just oozes, uh....cold blood? I mean, this is weird. I made a decision to correspond with a woman who killed a man, and is serving time in prison for 15 years. After writing to her for maybe a year, I can’t understand what’s going on. I mean, yea, she told me how she “blowed away” this sorry SOB, and I can’t blame her, if that’s the truth. But damn, tell me...have you ever seen a con on To Tell The Truth? Beam me up for thinking outside the box!

We continue to send mails to one another, always trying to “one-up” the other. It even became a nice little game. Something that was fun. I mean, come on....how could I not outwit a woman in prison? DUH! Afterall, I did have a captive audience. Did I not?
I hope one day, I can go and visit Sierra, and see just how lonely she really is and how ready she is to make something of her screwed up life. I see stuff like that on a daily basis. I could open a place called CrackHo’s R US and make a mint, but the payoff would not be worth it. The town is too corrupt as it is.

I’ll be the first to admit, having a relationship with a woman in prison is a heavy task. I mean, it’s not everyday you get into a relationship with someone who is, you might say, at risk! But, how do you tell someone who has to be locked up for 15 years to hang in there, and you’ll be there in 08. Sounds too political to me.

So, after a year of this back and forth stuff, we became extremely good friends. I mean we let it all hang out... except for the fact that I’d never maimed, crippled, decapitated, or killed anyone, we had lots in common. She liked water....I liked air.

Well, I have lots of stuff to decide here. I mean, a woman who drinks, smokes, swears, likes horseshoes...what’s wrong with that? Don’t know about you, but I think sleeping in a kevlar vest would be a bit uncomfortable. It’s one thing to take a date out and have her ID’d, but to have to go through a background check as well. That will take some getting used to. I also sometimes think about how long it will take her to start signing her real name again, rather than a number.

Anyway, wish me luck, because next weekend, I’m going to see her. It will be our first meeting. I would like to take her a gift, but what do you give a lady in prison? Or even a card, but I’m so afraid I’d get something so inappropriate for the moment. You think that’s a tough decision...think about having to find a motel room, and you keep asking for the motel nearest the prison. I think room service would be out of the question. Oh well, I’ll keep you posted as to what transpires.

Damn you Al Gore, and your internet!

A Quart Low

2005-04-01T21:36:00.000-05:00

"Yes, your Honor. I am a quart low"

I was reading a little while ago about Sandy Berger’s trial and the charges that he “pleaded guilty Friday to sneaking classified documents out of the National Archives, then using scissors to cut up some of them.(Hat Tip: Hindrocket at Power Line) So, it was no accident the documents followed him home. He had the intent to steal documents from the Federal Government, and he’s not going to jail. Yet, Martha Stewart was sent to prison...James Trafficant was sent to prison...and there sits Sandy, with just a slight trace of a little tap on his wrists. How politically Americana.

I guess if a person knows there is no risk factor involved, simply because one knows who will immediately come to his defense, then why not go for the gold. Steal it all. No harm done. I mean, they were only “copies” of documents. Does that mean you get less of a wrist slap if what you steal is not the original, but a copy? Gee, how quickly the rules change in DC.

Can you imagine what would happen to Joe Citizen if he decided to pull a stunt like that? There would no doubt be some jail time. This guy should never, ever, no way, no how, have security clearance for anything pertaining to America. He should have to wear one of those ankle monitors. But, it was just a big joke to his old bud Bill and company. They laughed about it...joked about it. it was a joke for sure. And to be tried on April 1st.... yep, this is the perfect April Fools joke. You gotta love a humorous court.

All in all, I’m so glad things are going so well in DC, with all the crooks being caught and to know they are getting some serious sentencing. I’m resting so well these nights. Such a comfort knowing the government is taking care of business. Even Elvis would be proud. So proud, in fact, he would probably present the entire body of Congress one of his “trademark” TCB” caps. After all, they surely deserve such.

And while we’re at it, we could have “Goober” of Mayberry, check their oil. I’m sure he would quickly discover, the whole lot of them are at least a quart low!

Have a nice weekend...and stay outta jail! And don't forget to "Spring Forward" Saturday night.

A Hunger for Power - A Thirst for the Limelight

2005-03-28T23:00:00.000-05:00

I can’t think of anyone I’ve never met, whom I’ve come to believe is a little lower than scum. The more read, the more I detest this man. This leech is practicing law in the good ole USA. How so? He should be tenured in a Colorado university or something.

I’ve held back on this issue regarding Terry Schiavo simply because I had to wait and see. But today, well, the camel’s back was broken. First, a little info regarding an incident that took place in the mid-to-late 80’s. There was this little bar called Johnny’s Grill, also known as “The Poor Man’s Country Club”. Only men were welcome there. It was like a family reunion, of all males. But that’s the way it had to be.

Anyway, the bartender, and eventually the new owner, David, was a straight up guy. No enemies that I ever heard of. He treated everyone in a fair manner and didn’t tolerate any BS from anyone. There was this mutual acquaintance, Mike, who was more than a regular at this place. He was more like a permanent part of the place, and a good guy as well. And he wasn’t at a loss for good friends, either.

Well, Mike became seriously ill, and laid in the hospital for a while. He was on a respirator, and pulling the plug was only hours away. They had given him up for dead. But guess what? David, who had gone to see Mike every single day, showed up on this particular day, and at this particular hour, pulled up a chair and began talking to Mike like they were back at the bar. Wasn’t long, Mike was awake, coherent, and alive and well. You see, I’m a little hesitant about pulling the plug. I know, Terri was in a bad way for 15 years or more, which begs the question. Why didn’t her hubby divorce her and allow her folks to care for her?

The thing that makes the hair on my neck stand up is this attorney George Felos. What a wicked piece of work this guy seems to be. His lust for power, the bright lights, and death is kinda spooky. The way the man describes the people he has seen dying is enough to make you wonder how the hell can this guy practice law.

I am not against pulling the plug totally. I think each individual case should be judged accordingly. There are probably some, such as Mike, who can recover, and then there are those who will never get any better. It’s such a fine line. I feel that’s why God is God. These are big issues, and should be left to the real God and not to the courts.

In reading some passages from George Felos’ book, “Litigation As Spiritual Practice”, I do have some major problems with this dude. Here are some excerpts from the book.

Now, do you find anything a bit weird about that? Maybe it’s just me and how I was reared, but I sure don’t buy into his pulp! I firmly believe that these decisions should be made by next of kin, and not any judge, not any representative, not any senator, not any president, or anyone in the political realm. It should be a family decision...period.

Personally, I think that the court and the judge, has stepped way over the line when he decides when a person can have communion and when someone can have last rites. The lawyer and the judge seem to have this “I am god” complex. And it is sickening. I surely hope this isn’t the start of a judiciary out of control. It could easily happen.

However, I will say this as I close, to Mr. Felos and Mr. Greer. I wouldn’t wish ill will on anyone. But, since the two of you are so sure that death by starvation and dehydration is a beautiful thing, and euphoric, and peaceful and gentle...I pray that you two will be so blessed with the same end as those you have passed the sentence upon. May your days be beautiful, euphoric, peaceful, and gentle. Thus sayest the new lord... George Felos.

How Did We Get Here?

2005-03-26T21:53:00.000-05:00

Let’s take a trip down memory lane, shall we? The year, 1965 seems like an honest beginning. I was a 15 year old who knew it all. Life was tough, but good. My family could go away for a couple of days, leave the windows open, the front door unlocked, and know that if a storm arrived, the neighbors would take care of things for us. Also, back in those days, you knew most of your whole neighborhood. People communicated back then. Things were much different. Those were the times when there was a real sense of community. A bond, that nothing could break. It was like one big family. And it’s sad those days are gone.

Today, there’s not even enough time for the kids, let alone, the community. We’re living in a no repsonsibility world today. It’s always “their” fault. No one has to take the blame when they screw up. Someone else always made them do it. It’s not odd that neighbors are not familiar with one another. There are far too many “latch key” kids running home after school, unsupervised or cared for. These kids have to wing it, so to speak. They have no adult supervision at all.

Back in ‘65, the worst thing that ever happened during a day of school was either “someone gets caught smoking in the boys room, someone gets caught chewing gum in class, or some clown is caught throwing spit balls”. That was it. No guns, no drugs, no gangs, and guess what? No DIVERSITY. Imagine that! We actually have been getting by with just our old home spun English language. No mess at the borders, no school shootings, no worry of weapons at high school games...none of that at all.

So where did things change? For starters, I recall at least through my senior year in high school, we would have a Chapel Service weekly, and have a local pastor come in and speak to the student body. But now, don’t even think about doing that. It’s a crime. Those were the days when a teacher or school principal would have the authority to reprimand a student for wrong doing. And the student would get the same once he and dad were home at the same time. Back then, there was a thing allowed, known as discipline. Today, there’s not much of that going around. It’s not very PC, as kids have rights.

I realize there are many more people here today than there were back in 65, but it’s not just because of the growth of the USA and more people being born. As the older generation passes away, and abortions on demand, then how did America become so highly populated. Why the answer to that is simple. The government here has let it be known there are no penalties to be handed down to those who want to come and suck on the teat of Ms. Liberty. It matters not that they are here illegally...it only matters that we cause them no harm, lest they would hate us.

I never thought I would live long enough to see a country so equally divided. Good versus evil...love versus hate...right versus wrong...and yet, both sides claim the higher ground. Well, that just can’t be. You can barely distinguish between the two major
political parties anymore. There doesn’t seem to be a nickel’s worth of difference between them. What used to be known as conservative is no more. We don’t need this huge government that seems to be leading to a game of “May I”, when it’s all said and done. The government should be working for us...not against us.

So, how did we get here? Was it a random thing? Was it something that was bound to happen? What? Why? Well, here’s what I think. When we turned into a nation of “I-I Me-Me”, that was it. People have become lovers of self as was written early on, and we’re living to see it come to pass. We got here by turning a blind eye to wrong...to evil...as we continued to blame it on someone or something else. However, that’s not the cure. What do you think?

* Baseball, Congress, and Apple Pie

2005-03-17T22:26:00.000-05:00

Much hoopla is being made regarding the inquiry on Capitol Hill. It's the hallowed halls of Congress vs Major League Baseball. A battle of half wits. A bunch of over paid idiots against a bunch of over paid thugs. It's almost embarrassing to watch.

It's funny how many people wants baseball to put an asterisk from 1985 onward, regarding the records broken during that time frame...especially home runs. Personally, I think the asterisk should go beside the name of Bud Selig. The commissioner who was self-appointed. What a joke.

Yep, I'm so at peace at the moment, knowing that our nation's elite are going to bat on my behalf, and fighting this fight for steroids. Are we blessed or what? Look, with the price of fuel on the rise and such, do we really need this thing with baseball. Come on, guys. Go away and do your filibuster...please! But do not touch things that have already been anointed by one on high... *Baseball, Congress...and Apple Pie!

A Bloated Senate

2005-03-16T15:18:00.000-05:00

I find it amazing, that with all the work needed to be done by the elected elite in Washington, they are finding time to stick their unqualified, overpaid, delusional noses in the steroid stories regarding baseball. It’s not as if there are no important matters for this gang of rogues to be tending to. After all, didn’t Senate Minority Leaded Harry Reid threaten to shut down the government regarding the filibuster issue? Please, Mr. Reid...shut it down. All of you go home...find a real job if you can.

The government has been out of control for such a long time, and there’s no sign of improvement. Since when does the Senate feel the need to educate the dummies about steroids? Why should this group of wise men and women be able to wax warm with all the little people, such as baseball players and others. Surely these athletes are aware that the elected officials know what’s best for everyone. If you don’t believe it...just ask the elected.

In our everyday lives, we witness the long arm of Uncle Sam, in most everything we do. Buckle up, else you will be ticketed. Nope, sorry, you can’t smoke here. Sorry, sir, but can’t bring a Bible in here. Uh, excuse me, mam, but did you just mention God’s name? That’s not allowed. Hey you...you can’t wear that shirt in here...it may offend someone. You’re an Arab...sorry, we didn’t mean to inspect your bag. But dig this...people aren’t allowed to “preach on the street”, yet, I have to put up with a 150 decibel bump, boom, bump from automobiles sitting at a red light next to me.

Let’s see how the government has really enriched our lives, just in the last little while. Well, they’ve taken anything and everything Christian out of schools, and most other public places, but it’s okay for Muslims to have their “call to prayer”. Christianity is a message of hate and Islam is a religion of peace. And Moby Dick was a frog.

The government allows people from all walks of life, from anywhere and everywhere on the map, to come to our country, allow them to complain and whine, and have our laws changed to suit them, and in return, we are bashed for not being inclusive. Good government does not mean big government. Diversity it seems, should bring a little unity, but no, not as long as the elites are in charge. It’s all our fault because of what we have and the way we live. Guess what, folks? I, just as most others do, work for a living, and the things I have, I own because of working to obtain those things...as few as they may be. I’m not entitled to be kept up by this nosy, meddlesome Uncle. I ask nothing of this government, except to treat the people like you wish to be treated. You smug bunch of bastards and bastardettes are not our keepers. You elected twits in no way have any of our interests at heart. You’re all a bunch of lying con artists who are doing what you do because you are too lazy to work. Maybe the people will band together and see if we can get a bill passed that would allow illegals to come in and do the jobs the Congress critters don’t want to do. That would be poetic, no?

Let’s not leave out the Judges, who feel superior to God Himself. In one instance, this Judge Greer, who is trying to starve a woman to death. I would hope this Judge is never faced with someone having to rule on his very life. In another instance, Judge William C. McCulloch, of Texas, ordered that life support be withdrawn from a 5-month-old baby, against the wishes of the mother. Yes, I would say the government is much too big and bloated. So, it would seem the steroid problem doesn’t stop on the baseball diamond, but spreads through the halls of Congress, as we see how bloated this body has become. They arrive at first, all slim and trim, and after years of abusing their authority (power), they all look and act like the barrister of bloat. Ted Kennedy. Oh yes, we need this government so very much. In this instance, I would have to say that a poor government is not better than no government at all.

The Delusional One is Out of Jail

2005-03-10T08:42:00.000-05:00

I had planned on posting a new article that I finished last night, but upon arriving at the office and checking my email this morning, I decided to share this instead. TogaDude is alive and, not so sure about the well part. You can decide for yourself. Go here and here.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Our Friend, the Government…One Too Many Uncles!

2005-03-06T22:59:00.000-05:00

Never let it be said that I approve of our present set of partisan hacks that sit in DC and do business in the name of “for the people”. Thanks but no thanks. I can’t afford these guys. You see, these people think they know what’s best for all of us, yet they can’t even agree amongst themselves. And how quickly they forget…they work for us…not lord over us. We have the seniority, not them. It’s time for them to go.

Color me stupid, but I have thought all these years that the elected officials of DC were held accountable by the people, so therefore, they are beholden to us…the people.

I’ve really never even thought about this until now. But, the government wants to tell us when we may or may not retire, just for starters. How about that? And this same bunch with the likes of Strom Thurmond hanging in there to a 100 years old, and can’t grab his ass with both hands, a flashlight, and a roadmap. Yea, that’s the ticket.

This is more or less of a case of “Physician… heal thyself.” (Dr. Dean, are you reading?) The bunch in DC today are nothing more than a bunch of power hungry older brats, that are spoiled to the core and so out of touch with what’s going on in this world on a daily basis.

I say to them…pump and pay for your own gas/diesel once a month. Go grocery shopping with your own money. Go to your local DMV and see the mess you have created, and then report back to me. Heh? Go to your local hospital’s Emergency Room and then try to translate your bill. You will immediately see all the good you’ve done while in office.

Once per month, go to a neighbor’s house and help with the lawn care and such… without a fee attached. Just be a good neighbor. Try it… without your hired help! Next, got to a pistol/rifle range and have at it. Enjoy the brotherhood, and don’t fear those who actually carry guns and know about them…and know about them very well. You never know what can happen in the course of 24 hours.

The government does not need to go poking it’s nose into anymore private stuff…period. Enough is enough. The government knows pretty much whenever we take our next drink of water…. Or fill in beverage of your choice. It’s too big… it’s too contrary…and it doesn’t work. Let’s toss the bums out. What do we have to lose. After all, the Dems are threatening to shut down Congress. That would be a huge favor to all of America. Send them all home… and then thank God we aren’t getting the government we’re paying for!

All in all, this is a great country. But until the elected power boys and girls realize that they are working for us rather than they are looking out for us, we would all be the wiser. Simply stated…they are not our friend at all. Always watch your back and hold your enemies close. I don’t care what party you are affiliated with, the same holds true for all!

2005-03-01T22:37:00.000-05:00

Uh, It’s Called Responsibility!

When a 6 year old child accidently shoots a 4 year old child, that doesn’t mean we need more gun laws. It means, people need to assume more responsibility at home. And for that, we do not need legislation, thank you! There are plenty of laws already in place in regards to hand guns and rifles and etc. This is nothing more than an orchastrated knee-jerk reaction among those who would like nothing more than to have all guns confiscated. To those folks, I say...sorry, it’s not gonna be that easy.

If you will take the time to read some history regarding the constitution and the declaration, you may understand that the citizens of the USA have certain rights. We, the citizens, do not expect nor trust the federal government to take care of all of us on a 24/7/365 basis, so...we must do what we have to do. There may actually come a time when we will have to become very self sufficient, like it or not.

Responsibility is beginning to become a rare trait. It’s always someone else’s fault. Or something else is always to blame. That, of course is the easiet route to take...you know...the path of least resistance! However, that route is the worse route to take, as it will give you a secure feeling when secure should not even be a part of your vocabulary. What? This man is nuts. Could be, but this is how I see it. Look, it’s a known fact that if you always shirk the blame on someone else as you go through life, odds are, you’re not gonna be very productive in society. So, that being the case, you need to make some decisions.

One thing I would like to say before I close. Any man or woman can achieve their dream in life. I have, I am, and I will continue to do so. No, it’s not all that easy, but it is rewarding just to know that I can stand on my own two feet, at least for a while. Thing is, every person out there can do the same thing. If you have a skill...get after it. It won’t come easy, but if you assume some responsibility, if definitely can happen!

Talk about "Cold Hearted"....hmmm....

I Read the News Today... Oh boy...

2005-02-07T23:08:00.000-05:00

Do you recall the tune that Lennon-McCartney penned back in those days? They were the dynamic duo, to say the least. Much was made regrading the lyrics of that particular tune, back in my days. It was almost mystical and mythical as well.

And the news said something about how many Iraqi people and how many Americans had been killed this day. It was kinda like "well alright". But...something changed...and the Iraqi people began to turn on these so-called "Freedom Fighters", as mentioned by the regular biased media. Actually, these thugs are terrorists.

Yes, I read the news today...oh boy...more violence in the Mid East... especially Baghdad. Well alright, says the media. Roll it. Screw the USA. That's the spirit. If it bleeds - it leads. That's a take!

Of course, the Main Stream Media have no accountability whatsoever, at least they think. Now, thanks to the many Blogs, the MSM has a snowball's chance in hell of making a mistake without consequences.

So, what do we do here? Do we hold hands and sing Kumbaya, ya know? So tell me. Where do we go from here? What? We need answers now.

Of course, the answer is to hold the Media's feet to the fire. And vice versa! Yes, there should be accountability on all sides. But, as of now, there is zilch to work with. How about them apples?

People, look at the growing deficit and the money and job problems we face, plus the ongoing illegal immigration problem, and what do we get? Another 4 years of insanity. Please...do something, somebody... anybody. Stop this madness.

As was said years ago... "thank God we ain't getting the government we're paying for". Ain't that the truth? You know, it's not even fair to be sober! Know what I mean?

What a Pucking Futz...

2005-02-05T22:22:00.000-05:00

Yea, I’m talking about the distinguished Professor Ward Churchill. The leftist indiot who claims to be part American-Indian...yet he speaks as if he’s Wahaabi. Could it be that he is? Tell us, oh kind sir.

A man who thinks that America got what it deserved on 9/11 is a real piece of work. Suppose the terrorists had instead, ran the planes into this University where this fellow teaches? What would he think about that? Would he bow down and kiss their asses then? I would bet yes.

Would you want your kids to be taught in college classes by this man? I wouldn’t. Sure, he has a right to free speech, and I have a right to turn a deaf ear. Look, I don’t care for war nor death either, but, it’s not my choice. Am I glad Hussein is gone? Yes. Am I glad the sons are gone? Yes. And I’m glad the election in Iraq
was held and successful. I don’t like the idea of billions of dollars going to a lost cause, and I think President Bush should focus on what’s happening at home, and spend a few dollars to domestic causes.]

I’m not going to even mention the borderrs, because that’s a given. Big government and over spending is uncalled for. Why does a supposedly “Republican Conservative” President have us in hock up to our ass? Why? Please, someone step forth and explain?

Yet, it’s cool to give tenure to a die-hard anti-American/anti-America person such as Churchill. All the leftists and progressives should be quite pleased. But, remember this. You are on notice. You are being watched. You will be held accountable for any harm that comes to America.

Hopefully, this thing called “tenure” will be a thing of the past, and these “educators” will actually have to earn their money through accountability. Wouldn’t that be nice?

Have a Seat (Chair)....

2005-02-02T23:10:00.000-05:00

I have never been so perplexed in all my life. And that's a while. Went outside to smoke and found my big deal of the day. A very nice white leather office chair for $1.27 Is that a deal or what? Timing is everything!

Well, the owner of this building has put decorative bars across each entry way. Some of it looks pretty good...but I still keep looking for one of those "swipe cards" that says get outta jail free.

Speaking of big deal of the day, Glenn, my man on the street, affirms what I have heard through the grapevine. It all boils into the same pot, if you know what I mean! To put it politley... there's a helluva scandal at our local courthouse!

Well, Kerry Fox at is back with a new show and as good as ever. Check him out. Also, the site he highlights this week is Ms FloridaCracker. A sweet lady with an excellent site. Visit her often.

In the near future Kerry Fox Live will have an interview with the Power Youth from the Shelby, N.C. (Cleveland County) Mental Health Association. These kids are awesome and would make any parent proud. We're trying to line things up as I type. It will be well worth the wait. Coming soon!

We have a little snow and some ice here tonight. Looks like things have locked the town pretty much down for the evening. Who cares. I have the fridge stocked and all the junk food and stuff I need, plus several meals, if the need arises. If not, it will not spoil. Lots of food ain't a bad thing! Grab a cold adult beverage and hang out with me here for a while!

Let's see what is new across the wire. Searching..........................................................

Well, they are not Trunk Monkeys, but... they're more human than we would care to give them creidt. Go here to check it out. I guess this proves that men are more primate than believed.

Bill France, you and the NASCAR people should be very, very afraid. One thing about it, you can't outsource these jobs!

Well, we're expecting a mix of sleet, snow, and whatever else through Saturday night, so it appears I will have an opportunity to catch up on some work here. That will be nice, but I'd prefer lots of snow as opposed to a little bit of ice. Fear not, I am well stocked on the items that will get me through tough times. And no, no milk, bread or eggs purchased.

Check out everybody's old friend, Roy D. Mercer. Listen to his pranks and funnies. It's the weekend. Loosen up a little!

Give ‘em an inch...

2005-01-14T20:28:00.000-05:00

I’ve been extremely busy this week with work and haven’t spent a lot of time online, but as I was kicked back here a little while earlier, I read a few things that were of serious nature, but made me laugh out loud. I’ve always had a strange sense of humor at times, but don’t take that as an apology.

One thing in particular I read about was Literally earth-shaking, quake shifted the pole.

I had read previously how the earth had been lightly tapped a little and knocked off her axis, but this thing gets down to half inches. The part that struck me extremely funny, was the part about Newark, N.J. Here’s the scoop: “
Armbruster, the Lamont-Doherty seismologist, said that, though he hasn't completed his analysis, he believes the quake moved the soil in the Newark and greater metropolitan area by a half- inch. The temblor on the other side of the world pushed the ground up that far, then back down the same distance. The movement was so swift, it was not noticed by residents of the region, he said.”

Let’s hope the half-inch was not towards Philly. And the ground being pushed up that far and so swiftly, you couldn’t tell... hell, people in Newark couldn’t give a hoot about the soil moving half-inch. DAY-UM. Do the math! I’ve a had a good meal or two from the eatery across the street here, and it was more powerful than the 1/2 thing. Technology is a wonderful thing, no?

I have a bet with a friend that in the near future, there will be lawsuits regarding this tsunami and Newark, and many disenfranchised people who are suffering tremendously, due to being relocated a half-inch away from where they were.. and yes, now the day has been shortened 3 millionths of a second, and the North Pole was moved an inch. Now that is grounds for a lawsuit. And of course there will be therapy and much medication. And did I mention lawsuits?

As bad as the tsunami was, some things are still the same: The libs are still libs, the pubs are still rubes, and everything in between has been a mockery. It matters not, because there are more people who are aware of today’s situation than not, but that doesn’t mean we will maintain the upperhand. Regardless, there will always be those that complain! So, that’s what happens when you...give ‘em an inch.

Gimme Some Hot Wings...Now!

2005-01-09T19:51:00.000-05:00

If I had not been called to the place, I would never have believed this happening, but then again, there are some very dumb people in this city. I am always the last one to leave this building in which my office resides. And since I am the last one to leave, the owner gave me the fun job of making sure all the doors are locked tight and the elevator is shut down before a certain time of the evening. Last night was no different. I did as I always do, locked the place up, came back to my office and headed home a little before midnight.

As fate would have it, my phone rang at 8:45AM this morning and it was Steve, who owns the building. Someone (actually they think there were two of them) had gotten into the Main entrance on the street level, made their way into a Chinese eatery, and camped out for a nice, late-night/early AM meal. In the final analysis, the place was missing some cash, a couple of buckets of chicken wings, and a huge tub of cookie dough. But that was just the “take out”.

While the perps were inside, they fired up the Wok and munched out on about a half-bucket of hot wings, including an economy sized jar of hot sauce, and quite a few noodles. What’s even worse, the person/people who did this, used a piece of scrap paper to light a smoke by lighting it from the stove. And they left the butts on the floor, both inside and outside the place. I would think these "cooks” were possibly drunk, at best. Thankfully, they didn’t burn the place down.

I hate the fact that the restaurant was broken into and some money and food items were lost. However, the fact that the intruder(s) felt comfortable enough to belly up to the bar and cook some wings is almost hilarious. This is definitely one of those things that makes you want to scratch your head. I’m glad they didn’t bring lots of friends and have an all night party.

As the Police officer was doing her investigation, she got Ray’s (was doing some work here today) name, phone number...and date of birth, and then turned to me for the same info. Naturally, the two of us will be checked first, I suppose, since she did ask our DOB. However, nobody around here expects anything to be done about this. After all, there are just too many “street people” to check out and too many donuts to eat. On a bright note, the Chicken Wing burglar seemed to have a sensitive streak...the fish in the aquarium in the main dining room were spared.

Something About That Hat...

Here's another one of those "I thought I'd read it all" kinda things. So, check out this Wal*Mart Greeter, well make that recently fired Wal*Mart Greeter here.

Would you take a shopping cart from this guy? All I can say is DAY-UM!

Have a great weekend everybody! And BTW, I speak for the whole world on that.

A story that captured my attention several days ago was the report regarding the tribe who shot at a chopper that was delivering aid to them. These people have always fascinated me, as to their keen sense of life, and their lack of ways and means other than their own resources. Today, floridacracker has some must read links regarding the people of the Andaman and Nicobar islands. Check it out. Some long reads, but much worth the effort! Thanks to Donnah.

Doublecross III: The Gift That Keeps On Giving

2005-01-06T23:58:00.000-05:00

Yes, it’s the greatest invention since Snake Oil. Windoze! For the past 24 hours, not including the battle I’ve had with the Wal*Mart Music downloads and the Microsoft people, my system all of a sudden decided that it would not even try to get online. I was at the mercy of my operating system. I thought at first it was my cable modem, because I could stay online for about 12 minutes and then nothing would work, including email. So I called the neighborhood friendly tech support, who happens to still employ English speaking people, even though you have to press 2 for English... 1 is Spanish. Go figure.

After holding for one hour and 10 minutes, I finally had the opportunity to speak with Shawn, who read from his script that I was pretty much dumber than dirt and I had screwed up my system because I was dumber than dirt. However, I enlightened Shawn that I had probably been dealing with these things longer than he had been on the planet, but he would not back down. I’ve always heard the customer is always right, but these folks practice what is known as the customer is always a dummy.

In my business, I have a sign that states, “If I don’t fix it, then you don’t pay.” There is no charge to check a system. That’s cheating. I know of a few places here that will take your computer, let it sit for days and not touch it, and then when you come to check on it, you are charged $75 or more just because it’s been sitting there for a while. That’s not right at all. I figure one can pretty much decide the problem with a PC fairly quickly and then call the person back and explain the problem and what it will cost, and then let the customer decide. I don’t like surprises when it comes to spending money, and I feel most folks feel the same.

Anyway, after getting off the phone with Shawn, and thanking him for his “support”, I decided what the best solution would be. Since I had everything on the drive backed up on CD’s, I would wipe the drive and start fresh. And it was time consuming, but it was also a piece of cake, as everything is working as it should, considering the OS I’m running.

Now, after having changed hard drives on this system, and my other drive had the music I downloaded from Wal*Mart, I decided to test the media player. Guess what? Since I had already downloaded and received a license from MS for this song on “another computer”, which was the same system, same components, same OS, but a different hard drive, I couldn’t get another license nor play the song. So, for the heck of it, I went back to the Wal*Mart download site, paid 88 cents for the same song, and presto, it played.

So, I say to you, if you are thinking about purchasing music from the Wal*Mart music download gig, forget about it. There’s no way you can record them on a CD and then play them, as the license will not allow. If this ain’t a sham, there is no such thing. Imagine, the monopoly here with these two companies in bed together. I’d feel safe to say that Bill Gates probably owns lots of stock in Wal*Mart. If not, he should. Take my word for it here...be ye careful about this music thing. It’s not what’s it’s cracked up to be! You too, will be Doublecrossed.

Doublecross II

2005-01-04T22:34:00.000-05:00

"Hey Bill. I'm still steaming. You feel me? I'd like to clothesline your dorky ass into the middle of next week...and that's until I get warmed up a little." You have already hit me for $4.40 on this music deal, but the other $10.60 is worthless. Wonder if Wal*Mart will give me a credit and I can get $15 worth of hot cashews? Now that would be a deal. But it ain’t that simple, Billy Boy. I am full tilt, hard core, slap yo mamma, bitch slap yo ass, gonna get me some pissed off. Ya dig? As my main man Merle would say, “You’re Walkin On the Fightin Side of Me”, dude.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Billy Gates - What suckass software your people make”... there ya go. And I won’t even charge you for it!
You can laugh if you want, but I can guarantee you, I will not threaten to burn myself up nor harm myself when I protest on the steps of Microsoft. Eye-god! No way, bubba. I’m gonna make my mark. One thing for sure, Bill. and you can take it to the bank...I know something about sack cloth! And God’s gonna get you for this. He couldn't get a license either.. and he's mad! And you don’t even want to go there. Let me tell you this, Bill, if the good man upstairs can’t get a dose of the ABB, you’re in for a rude awakening. I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes, at all. When the Man wants to hear One Way Out, boy, you’d best have it qued up.

Bill, in all fairness, please reconsider your Windows package. You are choking systems worldwide and we can’t stand it anymore. Enough is enough. Give it a rest, would you please? Stay silent. Do away with those silly DRM’s or whatever it is you want to call them. Call them pocket change or something, but give me back my blues... or else I’ll........

That may have to be Part III.

I received a belated Christmas Gift today from some ladies who work in an office on the Upper Level above me. Knowing how much I enjoy music (writing and listening) they purchased a Music Downlard card from Wal*Mart. So of course, I took a little time to go to their web site and found about 5 tunes I thought I would try...3 were of the Allman Brothers Band, and two for a lawyer friend of mine. At less than a buck per tune, I figure why not. So, after jumping through a few hoops to be able to download, after all were completed, I decided to sit back and give a listen. That's where the problems began.

Let me explain, I am a computer tech by trade, so most of this stuff is fairly simple. The first song I decided to play popped up with a little greeting from, yep...Microsoft. They determined I didn't have a "license" to play the songs that I just purchased from Wal*Mart. Jumping through more hoops and even allowing MS to upgrade my media player, I still was not able to play the tune nor am I yet able to obtain this "license". Look Bill, if you or some of your overpaid nerds happen to read this or hear about this article...this is for you.

Give it up. You already have your hands in most anything and everything computer related, but that's not enough. Now you want me to register with you, so I can play music that I purchased from Wal*Mart, before I can play it on your bug-laden Windows software. Haven't you already done way too much for me? Get out of the music business. Is this a temper tantrum by Bill Gates, or a way for him to get revenge. Look, Bill, I heard you sing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star on TV when one of those ladies were interviewing you. You cannot sing. If your Operating Systems and Media players were instruments, they would come with mutes. You cannot carry a tune. Mr. Gates, I write music, and I do not have to purchase a license, but you want me to purchase one from Microsoft to play music that is now in my possession. Screw you, Bill. I think it's time for some Class Action. You ain't got any class, and I don't care for anymore of your action.

BTW, go take some singing lessons or something. Oh, I just happened to remember the name of the first tune I tried to play...how poetic...it's called "Doublecross".

Promise to Fast - Fast to Promise

2005-01-03T17:14:00.000-05:00

With great speculation, I have watched for a couple of days the episode of a man named Gene Chapman and the IRS. He insists that it is against his religion, and against God’s law that he needed a Social Security number in order to be gainfully employed. So, after many months of threats to the IRS and anyone else who would feed him a microphone, camera, or telephone, he left audio messages on his web site of the events that would take place today, January 3, 2005 and why.

Normally, I don’t write about things of this nature, but this one had me hooked. Having a slow day, I decided I would check this Chapman guy out...well at least as much as the internet would allow. Talk about a treasure trove of stuff. This guy, in my opinion, is a certifiable leech, and a big shot wannabe. This thing today was nothing more than a scam.

After doing a little research, I was stunned to see this guy has more than a dozen web sites (blogs mostly) that seem to cater to his “crusade of the month” appetite. It seems that whatever happens to be his new interest at the moment, he sets up a web site and goes at it for a short spell. Personally, I think the guy is a scam artist. He appears to be fairly lazy and likes for others to keep him up, as he is the “American Ghandi”, ya know! Ain’t he special?

Let’s look at some of his web sites here, and you tell me if he ain’t a few fries short of a Happy Meal!

First, is Andrapodistes. This effort only lasted a few months at best. These sites are in alphabetical order, so the posting dates may vary from blog to blog. Next, there is Bible Apologetics, where he hangs out for a few months, and then takes up another cause. At his site Bible On Abortion, there are only 2 posts there, so I guess that was a passing thing! Moving right along, he had a couple of days posting at another site of his Christian Anti-Communist Party, and then he cranks up another site and takes a swipe at Christian Communism. Interesting is not the word for it.

Moving right along, there is the Cuban Freedom blog, and he goes at it there for four months or so. I tell you, this man never runs out of ideas and biblical views. It’s amazing. Now, at the Gene Chapman Tax Case, there are 4 posts there, and then back on the bunny trail we go. Now, we see such a change in spirit here. It’s summer, and it’s time for Gentle Love. The good Pastor stays here on topic for 7 months, off and on. I don’t see how the guy could keep up. But it only gets better.

Now, less than a few weeks ago, he starts another site called Preparing For AntiChrist. Excuse me, but I think we’re told to prepare for Jesus Christ, but I could be wrong! Oh, and back in 2003, from Sept-Nov, he’s trolling for a Dell Computer, at his Racial Healing site. This is one man on the move. He’s moved about from place to place, cause after cause, different story, same song and dance. But...there is more!

In November and December of 2003, he explored the biblical interpretation of Polygamy at yet another site called Sex and Family. Then, there is an additional cause within the end of the above site, that deals with another sexual item, and this site is called Sexual Enslavement, and there, he bounces around some more weird stuff. As Mr. Chapman still bounces around the blogosphere, we come to another effort by the man. This one is Slave Freedom Plane, where he’s good for 3 posts there. Is it just me, or would one think the man can’t remember passwords for his site or something, and he keeps having to do new ones? Who knows. But be ye happy. We’re almost done “site seeing”.

The cross to bear is once again the IRS. Chapman's site Tax Slave Prison is another site, which lasted for about 7 posts or so. Now, the one after the heart of the net is Truck Safety, which again is good for about 7 posts. Last but not least, we end with the current blog, Slave Freedom, which has been up and running since December 28, 2004. This is where I found such disturbing audio files of his plans to kill himself if the IRS would not meet his demands. It’s a pitiful situation, a man to be so out of touch with reality.

However, I still say the man is a moocher. He’ll do anything but work and try to twist scripture to uphold his cause. Well, this particular saga ended this morning in Greenville, S.C. before he could actually get onto the property of the IRS offices there. It was stated there were quite a few patrol cars and an ambulance, and under a judge’s order, was wheeled away to the hospital.

Will this be the last of Gene Chapman? I doubt it. I pray that he will recover somehow and seek the help he genuinely seems to need. If not, he will continue along and to seek and spew bad advice to and from others. In my opinion, the God that I believe in would not tell me to kill myself because the IRS wouldn’t see things my way. But that’s just me!

OEJ’s Predictions for 2005

2005-01-01T21:12:00.000-05:00

In no special order of importance or occurrence, here tis:

Representative Jerrold Nadler will begin a TV career by starring in Queer Eye for the Fat Guy.

Jesse Jackson will be hospitalized and diagnosed with AG, Anal Glaucoma: meaning, when insisting that he disband the Rainbow Coalition, he replies, “I just can’t see my ass doing that.”

Tom Daschle will find work in TV also. He will become what Peewee Herman once was...whatever that is!

President Bush will take time out from his job to take speech lessons from Jimmy Carter...maybe one can teach the other how to pronounce nuclear.

Maxine Waters will again prove beyond a shadow of doubt that she is a genius.

Hillary Clinton will start putting together a new Listening but not Hearing tour.

PETA will sue Kraft Foods, stating that their Shake and Bake is unusually cruel to tasty animals.

Auld Lang Syne

2005-01-01T01:02:00.000-05:00

Here’s hoping that a cup of kindness can be shared throughout this new year, as we say good bye to the past year. For some, it has been a most wonderful year, for others, it has been most horrible. We have witnessed the death of many people in the wars that are being fought. We saw hurricanes devastate many lives and much property in Florida especially, plus countless other places. And most recently, the tsunami in the Indian Ocean, and the horrendous loss of life. We witnessed an election that pretty much evenly divided the entire nation. Politically Correctness has been running amuck throughout the year, and so it goes.

My wish for 2005 would be peace on earth and good will towards all...at least all that will allow it. However, we all know that will not happen. Some folks think the best we can do is break even, whatever that is. I’m concerned about the spending habits of this government. I’m equally concerned about our porous borders, that welcome one and all, friend or foe. Another concern is the educational system for those that have to partake in public schools and left leaning universities.

Sure, we have many things to be thankful for this past year, but we also have many things that we will be held accountable for, as individuals and as a nation. I would like to think that we as a people, are generous, loving, wise, and understanding...but it’s not true anymore. There are too many agenda driven people in our country today that have a warped sense of Americana in regards to right and wrong and black and white.

We should start today, all of us, to reflect back on the last year, check out where we’ve been and what has happened, and our reactions as well as actions to all we’ve been a part of, and then look ahead and see how we can make things better. We shouldn’t do it for selfish reason, but for the good of all. If we do that, in 2005, assuming we have time to change things, then I would say that’s a pretty good start on a new year.

What do you think?

May you all have a very happy and blessed New Year.

God Bless America.

Happy New Year!

2004-12-31T10:49:00.000-05:00

Happy New Year to all, and may it be very prosperous.

Don’t Call Me Kemosabe

2004-12-24T08:03:00.000-05:00

You remember when the media made such a fuss when Dan Quayle got sideways about Murphy Brown? It was just a TV show, right? Right! Now, the craziest thing I think I’ve heard yet, is some idiot is in a tizzy over the word “kemosabe” being used in the work place. They’re insulted...offended...it’s racist. Racist? Wasn’t the Lone Ranger just a TV show? Don’t take my word for it, go here.

I tell you, I’ve had it with this PC crap. No carols, no manger scenes, no Merry Christmas, no Santa... and now, no Lone Ranger. What the hell? I have to ask, if this were so racist, why did not the masked man bust Tonto in the chops a few times? Well, on the bright side, at least he didn’t call the Masked Man peckerhead. Huh? It’s pretty much gotten to the point that if Jesus were born in America today, under our present conditions, Mary would go into labor way before we could produce 3 wise men. Check this out, a 7th grade boy was told to leave the school’s Holiday Party because he was dressed like Santa, and the principal played the part of Scrooge How do you say Scrooge in “insurgency”?

A young lady gets tossed at her dance because she’s wearing a dress that is not PC. Yea, tis the season for sure. After reading this, I would say the Gong Show was also much safer! What a PC screwed up world. As I’ve said countless times, if it’s 51%-48%, why are things in our country going the opposite? Doesn’t wash with me!

How about those old oriental movies when the words uttered would be “ah, gwasshoppa”...is that racist? Is gwasshoppa a bad word? Is that not PC? If one would listen to the leftist spewing crowd, you would think St. Nick and Jesus Christ are terrorists or worse. The Bible is out...the Quoran is in. Prayer is out...jihads are in...Christianity is bad...Islam is the religion of peace. Where is this country headed? This is supposed to be a time of joy and celebration, and good will, but it seems to terribly one-sided as well as opposed by a minority.
Regardless of whether it’s in or out, I wish each and everyone a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. And if that is offensive, well, take a number and get in line...and have a Merry Christmas anyway.

Sucking Air

2004-12-22T01:57:00.000-05:00

I read with great interest this article regarding the human parathyroid gland evolved from gills. (think fish) My first thought was, man, that sure sucks air!

I've always been fascinated with those people who tend to think that man can from monkey. Trust me, I've met a few people who would make a helluva a case for this concept, and without effort on their behalf. (My apologies to monkeys everywhere) If evolution is true, then why all of a sudden it's been at a standstill for several hundred years or more? Answer me that, would you please? Makes about as much sense as if a library exploded, and out of the ashes and smoke, a huge book came back down to earth. Yea, evolution. Right!

Since evolution and creationism are direct opposites, then there would have to be some other “force or power” that would keep evolution propelled, so to speak. So, where is the propeller? Hmmm. Can I get a witness? Hello! In my opinion regarding evolution, it would take more faith to believe that, than it would to believe in creationism. Think about it. On the topic of creationism, there is an excellent piece here.

As I see it today, man still looks like man of centuries ago, as do women, kids, dogs, cats, grasshoppers, fish, pigs, cattle, and etc. So, when do all these creatures move to the next level? I’m very curious about that, as I would hate to miss anything. Is it true that since monkeys and such like bananas, then, any human who likes bananas is part monkey? How about... since cows have horns, as do automobiles, then cows are cars? I know, different kinds of horns, but get the picture, don’t you? Reminds me of the man who sold his car to buy a cow. People cursed him, called him crazy.. they said a car was more valuable that the cow. He just smiled at them and said, “I can ride this cow, but I can’t milk a car”. So, does evolution mean that the auotmobile evolved from a mule? What else can I say? Except, this evolution thing sucks air!

Mary Did You Know?

2004-12-22T01:08:00.000-05:00

A beautiful song written by Mark Lowry (lyrics) and Buddy Greene (music) is probably the most telling Christmas song I ever had the pleasure to hear. It’s really a heavy song, if you read the lyrics and hear the tune. A woman, being the Mother, and giving birth to the Son of God. That’s an awesome task, to say the least.

However, if Jesus were born in today’s times, it would be quite different. There would be no inn for Jesus to be born. The ACLU and PETA would raise a ruckus and claim it was a hate crime or such. The song lyrics would have to be completely rewritten today. Such as, “Mary did you know - You couldn’t even find a stable to give birth?” Did you know that Jesus would not come first - To the people here? Did you know that your Son would be more spit upon and cursed today, than the day He was crucified? Did you know that the words of your Son and His Father would be considered hate speech today? Did you know that a nativity scene downtown would create offensiveness? Oh the horror.

Pardon my smugness, but I’ve had it up to here with the PC whiners. So you’re offended. Gee, how terrible can that be? There is no written decree that guarantees you to go through life without being offended... and the same holds true for me. Are you people who claim to be offended, so brittle, that you can’t handle the truth? Can’t even handle a Christmas carol? You may feel that you’re big in court, but in all reality, you’re wimps...gee, that song offends me. Get a grip. Your whining offends me, so we’re even.

So many people break so many laws in order to get into this dreaded country that they curse so much, yet, you can’t run their butts off, less they be offended. They want the best of both worlds, and I’m here to tell you... it ain’t gonna happen. It’s so poetic that these folks who will risk limb and life to get to America are the very ones who complain about all things American. Well, duh. What did you people expect? Your desire for our schools and our technology, and our way of life brought you here, and after you gain a little, all of a sudden you wanna knock this country. In the gin soaked white raisin induced words of Mama T, shove it!

It’s pathetic how we allow people to celebrate Kwannza and such, but yet a nativity scene becomes insensitive. What a weak religion you folks must have, to feel offended or threatened by the true Christ. Is that the real problem? You realize that the god you serve is inferior or made up? Last I read, regarding these false gods, Elijah was up on a mountain, making believers out of his enemies, as their god was asleep on the john or such. It was agreed that the god who could “light up” the altar was the true god. Guess who won that one?

Also, Mary did you know that 49% or so of the USA would refer to those “red states” as Jesusland”, and it was not meant as a compliment? Today, people can not go outside of the boundaries of the churches and proclaim the gospel. That’s hate speech, today. It’s pathetically funny that black churches may invite Democrat candidates to their churches and have a political hoe down, but if the opposite party, whether it be Republican, Independent, Libertarian, or Constitution party does the same, we hear the cry of “separation of church and state”, where there is nothing in the constitution that says such. Free speech, huh? Yea, if it only accomodates you.

Anyway, as the Christmas season closes in, as you go about your daily routine, remember one thing. Ask yourself, when America was birthed, did it foresee and demand that we bow down to those who want to come here, in order that they may feel less offended? I think not. But that’s just me.

Merry Christmas to all... and Joy to the World!

What a Difference A Decade(nce) Makes

2004-12-16T22:13:00.000-05:00

Is this diversity a blessing or what? I know, we’re beating a tired and nearly dead horse again, but since I’m in the Christmas, that’s right Christmas spirit, I figured why not! After listening to a little talk radio while riding in my vehicle hearing about various things and seeing various news items on the net (I don’t watch TV) it’s hard to contain myself.

The first thing that comes to mind is all of these people who are offended keep whining about this and that. I was always under the impression that the majority rules. Yet, we get a couple of ingrates from some other country, coming to the USA because of our freedom, all of a sudden, they’re offended by something and want us to change it for them. Read my lips, ingrates...Screw You!

They are offended by Merry Christmas. They’re offended by In God We Trust. They’re offended by anything Christian. As Lewis Grizzard said, “If you don’t like it here, Delta’s ready when you are.”

Nativity scenes are out, Christmas carols are a no-no. Prayer is forbidden, the Bible has been rendered hate speech, but islam is a religion of peace. Hey, it doesn’t bother me that these folks lie to me. What chaps my keister is they think I’m stupid enough to believe them. This country has done very well in all her years. We never had a problem like we see today until a bad case of diversity broke out. And the people are too lazy to do anything about it. I know it sounds like a cliche, but it’s the truth. We deserve everything we’re getting today. We’ve become too complacent...too easy...too aware as to not rock the boat. Heaven forbid we offend someone...who pays it all to get here to our country and then whines about how we don’t do things their way. I suppose it’s way to much to ask these moochers to assimilate. Oh no. They want to have it both ways. And they are getting it...so far.

In our schools today, kids are being taught about the Islam religion, yet, they are not permitted to discuss Christianity. Our children are also being taught about the “Alternative Lifestyle”, but yet, they can’t speak of being pro life. President Bush wants our kids to become more aware of the Islamic culture and vice versa. Dang, you would think after a few acts of terrorism, those kids have learned all they need to know about this religion of peace. What a crock. Why not call it what it really is? A Cult of Killers. Period.

It doesn’t surprise me that the country is so divided. What does surprise me is in which to extremes we are divided and the things that divide us. It’s not about red and blue. It’s about right and wrong...good and bad. Call it what you want, but you still have to call it the truth. We’re damned near a “War Between the States” again. If this presists, we don’t have to worry about Russia or China, or Korea, or anyone else. We are destined to do ourselves in, and it won’t be long at the rate we’re moving ahead.

No, this is not doom and gloom. This is looking at reality. And as Tom Waits once said, “Reality is for those who can’t handle drugs.” In many ways, he’s more than right, but it would be hard to tell these days, with all the post election stress and treatments. My God, some people need to wake up and smell some real coffee. All that latte has gotten to you. Too many people are sitting around complaining about how they’re offended and can’t see the real problem...self. Look, we didn’t ask that you come here to live. And if you left tomorrow and it were possible, I would be delighted to help you pack your bags, or anything else that would speed you along. Hey, you’re in OUR country. If you don’t like how we do things around here, then go home. If you’re a legal citizen, then you took an oath to become that citizen. So now is the time to abide by that.

No one ever said life would be fair. No one promised you a world of happiness. If so, you were lied to! Before I close, I want to repost the link at the beginning of the article. If you’re not convinced that life is not supposed to be a bed of roses, click here and enjoy.

Until we meet again, have a very Merry Christmas...and be safe!

Oh That Smell...

2004-12-11T20:58:00.000-05:00

Seems a little poetic that the man chosen by President Bush to lead the Homeland Security Department withdrew himself, after admitting he had a nanny working at his home, and she just happened to be one of those illegals. Another thing, her money to the IRS had not been taken care of, as well. What I don’t understand is why are the Bush people so up in arms over this? The President himself has let it be known that he has no problem with illegals. And if he has his way, they will be welcome to work here, bring diseases here, bring criminals here. So, why the dust up about something this administration fully supports? Something smells a little funky about that.

If an investigation were done on all elected officials in DC, the number of our elected thugs who actually has employed or does employ an illegal, would probably be incosistent with their policies that they have publicly decried. To say the least, this bunch in the present administration bring a whole new meaning to shameless.

It would be funny if it weren’t so pathetic. I talk to many “conservative” people on a daily basis, and lots of them feel as I do about what’s going on within this administration, and already it seems to get even worse before the next 4 years actually begin. And, on the other hand, I talk to those who feel that the President will really show his true conservatism next term. Yea, right. We’ll get em next time! Sorry, that certainly doesn’t pass the smell test.

Whom ever is chosen and allowed to be the Homeland Security Secretary, I sure hope they have more common sense than the rest of the people who are working above and below him...or her. God help him if he/she doesn’t! In my opinion, unless we the people witness a modern day miracle within the boundaries of the USA, the next 4 years plus are not going to be pretty. The left keep going lefter and the right keeps going lefter. Where does it all stop? Crazy thing is, it’s up to us...we the people, yet here we are, once again, taking it on the chin and falling in lock step with the powers that be. How pathetic is that?

Well, I’ll close for now, and try to get into the spirit of this Christmas Season. And to all you PC do-gooders...Y’all can kiss my Merry Southern Ass!

And to the rest of you...Goodnight...and Merry Christmas.

A Culture of Wimps

2004-12-03T01:48:00.000-05:00

I know I’m just asking for trouble before I even write this, but so be it. I have a bad habit of calling things like I see them, and this time is no different.

We may be kicking ass internationally, but we’re getting our ass kicked domestically. The PC police have been running rampant over us from every angle, and we just sit there and go “ga-ga” at the whole thing. Why am I not impressed?

When will we learn? When will we decide enough is enough? Or will we ever? At times, I really wonder, because the sheep have been led so astray. And it has been so easy to do so. With no proven leader in the USA, why shouldn’t the people be neutered? After all, we haven’t had an attack since 911, right? Of course, that’s the ticket.

Here’s how I see it. First of all, the League of the Politically Correct will be the undoing of our country. Tha t’s a fact, and you can laugh all you want, but mark my words. It’s already happened. You just haven’t felt it yet! There is a Mayor in Colorado who has decided to take out Merry Christmas for starters. How do these people get away with this stuff, when surverys say this nation is 78% Christian? What’s happening here?

And don’t come whining to me about the Separation of Church and State. It’s nowhere in the Constitution. So, go suck another egg. Thank you!

We have seen Christ taken out of Christmas now for many years, and the people do nothing. Giving up a little here, a little there, and then a little more out yonder...before you know it, great strides have been made to render you ineffective! In the words of Bob Dylan, allow me to ask: “How does it feel”? Huh? Tell me the truth!

America, as we used to know it is a thing of the past, unless good people wake up and smelll the coffee. It’s pathetic that the even 48-49% of the voting public even dictates any agenda. Where I come from, 48-49% is still a minority. What say ye?

We have wide open borders, no control of the illegals, and a don’t ask don’t tell situation there as well. It’s not restricted to the milatary, and it’s served in a whole different way as well. Of course, it’s alright as long as it doesn’t “infringe upon me”. Of course!

You can have your snoot and look down it too. No problem. Just get on board the Magic Ship Copernicus here and have at it. You can have your every wish... every desire...and every whim... all you gotta do is get onboard. Simple as that!

Well, the train’s pulling in the first station and I need to go... Will write more tomorrow while I’m able.

Cheers!

Danny and the Hand Head Jive

2004-11-30T21:58:00.000-05:00

If it weren’t so pitiful, it would be hilarious, but day after day, people are given ample ammo to rag Dan Rather three different ways...hard, fast, and continuously...and it’s his own doing, that sets himself up.

You see, Dan Rather talks to Ed Murrow’s ghost. "Ed Murrow's ghost is here. I've seen him and talked to him on the third floor of this building many times late at night. And I can tell you that he's watching over us." You can find that at The Hollywood Reporter.

You can’t make stuff up any better than this. Let’s imagine a conversation with Dan and the late Mr. Ed.

Rather: “Mr. Murrow. Thank you for looking in on me tonight. You know I need a friend at the moment. I’m probably the most misunderstood person on the entire planet. I’m probably as misunderstood as a condom machine in a maternity ward. I can’t seem to...”

Ghost of Mr. Murrow: “Shut up, Dan. You’re a twit.”

Rather: “But sir, I was only trying to help our country. I meant no...”

Ghost of Mr. Murrow: “Please, Gunga Dan, save it. You’ve done enough, already.”

Rather: “But Mr. Murrow. You’re the only one who really understands me. Not even...”

Ghost of Mr. Murrow: “Dan, listen. I’m dead and you’re talking to me. And now you say I’m the only one who understands you? And to beat all, you tell a reporter that you talk to me and see me on the third floor. Dan, I think you’ve been in the Texas sauce a little too much.”

Rather: “But you see, it’s that...”

Ghost of Mr. Murrow: “Dan, listen. These cigarettes helped drive the nails in my coffin. But maybe you should give up the booze and start smoking....reefer! It sure as hell wouldn’t hurt you. Not now, anyway.”

Rather: “Mr. Murrow, you know I’ve tried to be a good reporter. Fair and balanced and unfearing, and filled with...”

Ghost of Mr. Murrow: “Yea, filled with...courage! Is that what they call it now. Dan, you’re as funny as a puppy with two peters. Stop it...my sides are hurting.”

Rather: “Sorry about that Chief. It won’t...”

Ghost of Mr. Murrow: “Rather, remember the night back in ‘86, when you were roughed up by a few people? (Murrow now changes his voice to be a little sinister) What’s the frequency, Kenneth?” (laughing hysterically, and coughing mightily)

Rather: “Say that again, Chief.”

Ghost of Mr. Murrow: (still cracking up) “What’s the frequency, Kenneth?”

Rather: “My God, it was you. I can’t...”

Ghost of Mr. Murrow: “Yea it was me, Danny Boy. And the three goons weren’t from a rival network. They were all journalists, who worked with you. They hated you Dan...and they hate you now.”

Rather: “Why do they hate me, chief?”

Ghost of Mr. Murrow: “Go back a little while and look at that dumbassed statement you made about Camelot and a mystical kingdom, and King Arthur and the Roundtable. That smells worse than a fresh cow pattie after a Texas thunder shower.”

Rather: “But...but you know what I meant by that. I’m sure you...”

Ghost of Mr. Murrow: “I have no idea what the hell you’re talking about there, son. And I don’t think you have a clue either. Your problem is you don’t know when to be quiet. People have had it with you. You have no brilliance to dazzle them with, so there’s no need to try and baffle them with bullshit. Simple as that.”

Rather: “Well, I’m sorry to have bothered you, sir. I won't do it again. I promise.”

Ghost of Mr. Murrow: “I'd appreciate that. I really need to be resting in peace, and not be involved in this insanity. And a little friendly advice before I go. Once you retire, stay the hell away from the public. Find a hobby, do something with yourself, but for the sake of humanity, please stay out of sight. (long pause) And Dan... one other thing.”

Rather: “Yes sir. Anything you say, sir.”

Ghost of Mr. Murrow: “Courage. (laughter trails, as Dan walks away, all alone)

Come Monday, It’ll Be Alright

2004-11-29T22:52:00.000-05:00

(I Just Know it...Now Lemme Outta Here)

I spent the day and part of the early evening hours at the hospital, getting some tests done. Over the weekend, I experienced some vision problems and it got a little worse, so I decided to have it checked out. Lucky me. While I was sitting back in the waiting room, reading one of those 3 year old Reader’s Digest, I happened to notice a young lady sitting in the next seat over from me. I don’t recall how it started, but we struck up a conversation. And she wanted to talk about politics. So, I silently prayed that her problem was not high blood pressure, already...being the charitable and cautious guy that I am.

I don’t mean to sound like I’m judging, but I could tell right away I would be dealing with a certified bimbo. There was no doubt about that. And, she did not let me down.

Her first comments were about the election, and if I were pleased about it. I responded that I was not really pleased, but it could have been much worse. And for the next 10 minutes I tried to cipher what she was trying to say. She was disappointed that Kerry/Edawrds lost, and she was depressed, and she wasn’t able to cook, clean, yada, yada, yada. She was pathetic, and I told her so, and even suggested she was wasting her time here, as the people here weren’t prepared to help her. Gave her lots of what I considered to be good advice, but she would have none of it.

Thankfully, she was called in ahead of me. I was hoping that I would still be here when she came back out. Lady luck smiled on me... she was out in about 15 minutes, and after she talked to the lady at the glassed in booth, she came and sat back down beside me. I smiled at her. She gave me her phone number and said she would love to talk more, but that she didn’t feel well and was going home ad going to bed. We exchanged good-bye and nice to meet ya’s, and she went on her way, and I finally got called to the back. Yippee!

After finishing my ordeal, I went back to the office and began to contemplate the day. How could any human being think the way this lady thinks? The lady from the hospital! I mean, she has all her complete faith in one individual... a human being, who is bound to fail himself and countless others. I’m glad tonight that I’m not depending on a single earthly person to keep me okay with myself. That would be a huge let down, and I realize that. That’s why I ain’t going there.

It’s really sad that so many people want to place their faith, even their whole future into one single individual, who is bound to screw up somewhere down the road. It’s gonna happen, simply because we are all human. We’re destined to falter and fail.
Look, I don’t depend on any one or any thing to make sure that I’m happy. It’s no one’s responsibility to make me happy. Why can’t people understand that? John Lennon may have had it right when he sang “Happiness is a Warm Gun”. Oh, don’t go jumping off the plank here. It’s tongue in cheek, okay?

Anyway, I realized today that there are quite a few people who are bent out of shape and stressed because of an election. But why? I mean, if one can tolerate 4 years of a bad marriage, 4 years of a bad president will come and go. Even if you’re not in a bad marriage, consider yourself blessed... if a bad president is all you have, then you ain’t in such bad shape. Sing it with me now.... “Come Monday, It’ll Be Alright”....

Ain’t that better?

Sacred Nachos

2004-11-27T22:31:00.000-05:00

I figure if a person has an experience such as I had a little while ago, then the words fortunate and blessed seem to fail the actual experience. I’m talking about a bonafide, damned near made in the USA miracle. Makes the Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich seem more like Madonna...no offense to the good lady Mary!

Call it a fluke, call it karma, call it a revelation, call it righteous...whatever it was, well, it was surreal. I realize I’m not worthy to even be a witness to such a phenomena, but at my age, a man takes what he can get.

It seemed to me sort of a poetic justice, or maybe injustice, to see JF’nK dipped in the cheese and peppers, with not a hair out of place and nor a wrinkle to be seen. This was truly a Botox Moment. It was only fitting to see Johnnie there. After all, we’re talking about diversity here. Cheese from Wisconsin, Mexico, and Switzerland. Chips made from Iowa corn, and beer from North Carolina. How righteous can anything get? Like, gag with me a jalapeno.

The meal itself was very good. I like spicy food, and spicy this was. I failed to close my eyes and bless this food, as I realized how could this serving be anymore blessed, as to having the cameo of JF’nK as a main player in the dip. Come on, I even had to nibble around “that area”, as I felt it may be hazardous to my health to get too close to “the man”. Know what I mean? I mean, here’s a dude who was almost president, a real nam hero, (just ask him about it)a blue-blooded gigolo of an old coot, and a man who married up rather nicely. Sanctimonious, dudes and dudettes.
After I recovered from the meal experience, I walked back across the street, across the parking lot, and back to my office, singing to myself, audibly, the words to “Why Me Lord”. I tell you, this was a very humbling experience. Could I have been? I mean, do you think it was? Uh, what above divine in...”? Whoa, Nellie...reckon it was a tap from the Big Guy himself? No, I don’t mean JF’n K. I mean the REAL BIG GUY!

Whatever it was, within two hours of this sacred supper, I began to have tumultuous heartburn. And it was heartburn from hell. Now, I wasn’t so sure of the sacrilege of the vision in the cheese and peppers. I began to have a dull headache...blurred vision. It was terrible. I’m thinking, "This is like, totally, not from God." Such a revelation. Wow. I knew it was near time to swing for the fence! But how could I decipher where this came from? At first, it was like divine, but then, it seemed to get really ugly. I didn’t exactly get sick, but I surely had seen better days, that’s for sure.

Anyway, that’s my experience with the Sacred Nachos, and I don’t know if I’ll ever go back over there (across the street) or not. This was one experience I could have lived without, and had to pay good money to experience it. One thing is for sure...maybe I should have left the nachos as is, and sealed them up and took them on the road. I’m sure I could’ve made a bundle. Especially in Florida, where the Kerry devotees have gone to therapy in droves. This could have been manna from above for them. All the healing properties of hot cheese and peppers. Would have burned their blues away. DAY-UM! Of all the opportunities to miss. *SIGH* Guess it wasn’t meant to be...for profit! Who’d a thunkit?

Walking away thumping chest..... BLECH! Thank you, Lord, for those Sacred, Sanctimonious Nachos. AMEN! BLECH!

BTW, this guy gets it!

“Feelings...Wo-oh-oh Feelings” (Go Fish)

2004-11-18T23:03:00.000-05:00

Right when you think the folks at Peta could not get any more bizarre, they launch the fish empathy patrol. Yes, it’s been discovered that fish are intelligent, they have feelings, and they are not to be eaten. They’ve gone after the cow and all things beef, and pigs, and chickens, and now fish. Fish? Give me a break. Fish are intelligent? Then why are so many of them being caught? Maybe fish, not unlike PETA, should keep the mouth shut.

After listening to a local talk radio station yesterday, who had a very young lady on the show, discussing this stuff. She was from PETA, and I swear to you, she couldn't string a 3 word sentence together without 2 of the words being "you know". She talked like a valley girl.... Harper Valley!

I had a million questions for Ms Fishlover. How about crickets? Are they okay for the "fishes" to eat? They have feelings. I know they do. I can tell when I hook them when I’m fishing for bream. But about the intelligence of a cricket. Any critter that can rub their legs together to make that sound they make, certainly has my respect.

I guess the main thing that peaks my curiosity about fish is regarding knowing or not whether they have other outlets, or traits, or emotions, or whatever. For instance, do fish have a sense of humor? Do they laugh at worm jokes? Are they a traditional type critter? Like, do they celebrate specific holidays such as we do, since they do have feelings and are intelligent. Do they get excited at Christmas? Do they have their own traditional Thanksgiving feast of worms and crickets? Do they stay on the bottom during Labor Day weekend? Hey, I have a zillion questions.

Also, I would be interested to know if these PETA people think that these fish should have a right to vote. I mean, come on, this country needs a little more diversity...let’s hear it for the PETA Party! YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! Has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? One of the first things I thought about when I heard this parlance of the finned species, back in the times of Jesus, when He was feeding the multitudes... I recall the miracle regarding the 5 barley loaves and 2 fish. It doesn’t say 5 White Rye and 2 Green Onions. Get real! I reckon God, the Father, neglected in telling the boy about the fish thing.

How about partying? Do fish like to party? Do they drink or do drugs? Do they have little "cliques" as humans do? Do fish gossip? How about soap operas? Do they like those? And do they watch Oprah and listen to Howard Stern? Hey, do they bar hop? Do they have to go to private clubs, like, where NO CATS ALLOWED? (Sorry, that one has just been begging for it!)

Now, for the grand finale. What can fish do to contribute to mankind, other than to serve as a tasty dish? They can’t work a regular job and pay taxes. They can’t go to church and tithe. They can’t own homes and such, and beef up the revenue, so what good are they? Think about it...the only good fish is a breaded and buttered one!

And they sang a hymn, and went away!

Alimony: Palestinean Style

2004-11-11T23:06:00.000-05:00

I have to say this. Suha Arafat sure plucked the Golden Goose of Palestine in a big way. Hey, $22 mil a year ain't nuttin' to sneeze at.(Johnny Carson, call your lawyer right away!) Luckily, her dearly departed hubby had just coughed up $11 million to take care of her for 6 months. Ain't a bad gig if you can land it, huh? What a classy lady for such a classy guy! WRONG!

The money that Arafat had stashed away was intended for his people. Because of the Mrs. greed factor, and also the lavish lifestyle that Yasser required, there was nothing left for the "little people". Yet, they want to pronounce the scumbag a hero. No thanks, Jimmy Carter. We can do without that.

This man was the Father of Terrorism. You can look at the man and see nothing but pure evil. If I were Ringo Starr, I'd have some kind of cosmetic sugery on my ass, and quick! Heaven only knows.

Suha, it seems, loves to live the extravagant lifestyle. Look, I pay 63 cents for a cup of hot, fresh coffee. What is the price of coffee that Suha drinks? I shudder to think. Think about it, $22 million is a lot of loot. I've survived on a lot less. But why is she entitled to this much money? This is nuts!

Think about this, people. One lone lady, who at best, is a stooge of a wife for Arafat, gaining $22 million on an annual basis. And the people are getting screwed... without even a kiss. What will happen? Will the people of Palestine wake up, or will they give Ms Arafat the goods? Will the people continue in poverty or will they arise and walk to freedom? Probably not. Seems they're destined for belts of dynamite.

It's a shame the way so many people, supposedly dignified folks from all over the globe are calling this swine a statesmen... a purveyor of peace. Yea, right! And Mona Lisa was a man, right? Sure thing.

As I've been taught all my life, 54 years of it, if you speak of the dead, say something good, so I will do just that... "Arafat's dead... Good!".

Have a nice weekend!

"Come Friday...."

2004-11-10T21:43:00.000-05:00

Regarding all the buzz regarding Arafat's 9 lives, he's dead, he's not...and on and on and on and on...give me a break. My sources tell me, and this is a direct quote...

"Come Friday, we bury the old man, dead or not."

You heard it first...right here.

What a Difference a Day Makes

2004-11-03T22:46:00.000-05:00

2004-11-02T11:41:00.000-05:00

Well, a typical day at the polls, I see. Here at home at my precinct, as of 11AM, approximately 25% of registered voters had already voted. Everywhere in the area, there are crowds standing in line. As I looked back at the Presidential race in 2000, our county voted like this:
Of 31 places, it was--

Bush 24--------58%

Gore 6--------41%

Tie 1

Even though the polls from 2000 tell us nothing about this election, I am anxious to compare the numbers when all is said and done!

It has been reported that the Philly Phanatics are at it again...having 2000 votes on machines before the polls open! I guess the dead voted very early! And in Jersey, a white powder was thrown inside, and the place was evacuated.
And it's not even noon yet!

I've discovered that all these people who couldn't find their own butts with a road map and a flashlight are the same people who are crying about being disenfranchised. Gee, wonder why that is?

Why is it that people get upset because they aren't allowed to break the law? It's against the law for a felon to vote. You must be a citizen of the USA to vote. There is a specific precinct designated for you to cast your vote. You must be resgistered in order to vote. You must complete all paper work in order to become elegible to vote, before you can actually vote. And lastly, it is a great benefit to have an IQ above a pet rock. So, why are so many people claiming to be disenfranchised? I'll tell you why...it's called FRAUD! As in DNC, CBS, ABC, etc.

As I understand it, the Democrats have had a lock on being the party of miracles for ages. Why? Well, they've been raising the dead and shuffling them off to the voting booths consistently. On the other side, the Republicans are the party without a spine. You see, I'm one of those who will not vote for the choices offered us by the media. No thank you!

This is America, and America is a big country with lots of people, yet, the media offers us a choice between Bush and Kerry. Gee. That's kinda like having to choose between Wimpy and Bluto.

The D-Ticket would have you believe they can cure all ills, make things better, give away programs galore, make us a puppet of the UN, and have us free from the nuisance of terrorism. The R-Ticket tells us they can keep us safer, even with the borders wide open, and arms wide open to the illegals. Between the two choices, it's akin to Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show.

Anyway, as long as we have a two-party system, and a network of left-leaning news readers, things will get no better. However, a new star is born...bloggers...and it means the big boys now have some accountability, and lots of 'splainin' to do.
