June 2005.
We are told to support the troops while the government cuts their benefits. We are told to honor veterans while the government shorts funding for the VA. We hear about corporations going back on pension plans and hiding losses to boost stock prices and basically stealing Americans blind and our government makes it harder to take them to court. We hear about WMD's that don't exist. About ties to terrorist that can't be proven. There was the prescription drug benefit plan that made big pharm more money and does diddly shit for the real people who needed it. One lie and deception after another after another after another. And if we talk about them or mention them or say anything at all we are unpatriotic, not supporting the troops, hate America. I for one am started to get tired of hearing this as a defense from the people abusing our laws. So tired that I often don't talk about these things anymore.
But lets talk about the war. You know the one. The one in Iraq that only deserves a scroll bar on all the major networks. The one where we are starting to hear daily reports of new deaths and car bombings. The war we were told was about terrorist and WMD's that turns out to have been more about bringing Democracy to the Middle East. Yet in the run up to the war it wasn't Democracy to the Middle East that was touted but WMD's. And now we have evidence that the "information was fixed" to support the war in Iraq and where exactly is the Liberal Media? Well they are still busy telling us about the girl in Aruba. While my prayers may be with her and her family she isn't news in as much as Iraq is news. So why aren't we hearing more about the war? I'll leave it to you the reader to assume or conclude whatever it is you may wish as to why the Media isn't reporting on the war, instead I'll move on to..........
So when we went into things we heard a great big "Mission Accomplished" right afterwards. And pundits both left and right while still battling over lies and decpetion and buildups that were false, were for the most part expecting troop withdrawl to happen not long after that now famous banner fluttered from the deck of the aircraft carrier that was kept out to sea for an extra day just so flyboy could make his photo op in front of the banner no one wished to claim. Well now we hear that we might be in Iraq still in five years, maybe ten, who knows it could be twenty. And with bases being planned and the green zone becoming more a city unto itself daily I have to ask who in their right mind really expected our forces to be out of Iraq before the oil was gone? And didn't all those right wing bloggers tell us that UNOCAL and the Trans Afghanistan Pipeline were just a pipe dream? And yet we hear about China and UNOCAL doing their meetings and talks thing that will involve the TAP project that UNOCAL was working at so long ago. The one the right wing bloggers said was bogus. The one I told people about years ago. The one alot of the left leaning bloggers mentioned. We mentioned it and were told we were wrong. Oh, and unpatrotic, unAmerican, we weren't supporting the troops.
And on that note I mention bloggers changing their pages to say they are a web magazines to avoid possible problems in the future from our government. Okay it isn't our government anymore it is their government. And they are currently looking to pass laws to curb the voices of bloggers because those voices are causing someone somewhere some measure of grief. All because those same bloggers used their American rights to speak their minds. The fact they spoke their minds against this administration and the lies used to start a war shouldn't escape anyone. So I too will soon be following suit and will make this a web magazine. A web magazine started by a blogger turned writer. I don't plan on accepting a dime from any politician. I believe they all suck. So the only changes you my regular readers will notice is a byline up top stating this is a web magazine. So keep tuning in to the only place where you get real news and can find real news. The internet. From blogg- I mean Web magazine writers. True patriots fighting to protect our freedoms and liberties from oppressive regimes both abroad and at home.
A stagecoach bounced down a rutted road, heading for Dallas. In the coach were a Texan, a very busty lady, and a greenhorn from the East. The greenhorn kept eyeing the lady. Finally he leaned forward and said, "Lady, I'll give you ten dollars for a blowjob." The Texan was appalled. He pulled out his pistol, shot the greenhorn right between the eyes, and shoved his body out the door. The lady gasped and said, "Thank you, sir, for defending my honor!" The Texan holstered his gun and said, "Your honor, hell! Just trying to keep down inflation. Around here, a blowjob goes for two dollars."
It was White Zombie beating into my ears as I drove towards the dark house ahead. I had planned this one like I had planned hundreds before. The trail of breadcrumbs leading here and nothing more left to do but leave the last piece of cake for the little piggies to find. Another slime ceasing to exist. While another lower form of being would be taken away to never be seen in society again. I loved my work. I called it work even though I didn't get paid and had no boss and actually freelanced so to speak. But I loved my secret job. My hobby. My obsession. Once I started. That first time. The very first when I could have turned back. I didn't and am now who I am. Now I can never turn back. Barely better than the filth I dispose of. But serving a purpose greater than the whole. I am Death. And when I walk down the streets I have a secret inner power that others seem to feel and move away from. The dirtiest neighborhoods filled with the scum of the four corners of the Earth allow me entry as do the upscale condos of the yuppies. I walk through them all respected but forgotten. Because I will it. And right now I will that no one hears or wakes up when I stop the car and open my door. And loe and behold no one does. Taking the parcel I had prepared for this evenings festivities from the back seat I exited the car quietly and headed up the driveway. The yard was overgrown and there were beer cans and trash in the ditch out front. I could see a dog house and chain but no dog. And there ahead was the truck. Plain white beat up work truck like anyone could have had anywhere. But this one belonged to a piece of human rubbish. And in my hand were a few of his belongings. These I tossed into the back of the truck with no great care and headed back to the car. My work here was done until the morning. The phoned in tip of a white truck speeding off from the scene along with a few "remembered" license numbers by a concerned citizen who doesn't wish to be involved would lead them here. The blood and clothing would convince them of no other possibility. Case closed. Two scum removed from the gene pool. The world a better place. The police led by the nose like all the other times to finish the job I started. Happily I drove off towards a new assignment. This one I found in a group for pedophiles. The long standing logs of some of their creepier conversations was enough evidence to convince the cops of criminal intent. Now to just hack into one of their screen names to set the last logs for the police to find. With the advent of computers it isn't like it was in the old days. You had to work hard building circumstantial cases for the police to find. Collecting cigarette butts. Stealing old combs and brushes. You used to have to get closer to the marks all the time. Now with a bit of computer mumbo jumbo you can make them say anything you want to anyone you want for anyone to see. It doesn't make it any less satisfying, but sometimes I miss the old days where you dealt with the marks one on one. Where you had to blend in or be silent or be destructive. I still love the destructive element but now that I've grown older I'm not up to the knock down drag outs. I have to plan and be more careful. Besides I still have no wish to be caught. I read the papers and watch the news for justice at fault. Murderers and rapist and sex fiends and drug dealers getting off on technicalities. The courts unable to control abuse of the laws explotive lawyers used allowing the scum of the earth to walk free if the had enough money. That is where I woud step in. And I stepped in hundreds of times. I tryed stopping once or twice. Settling down with a regular job. Pay bills and shop at the local grocery store. Know a few neighbors by name and wave when you see them. But the urge to avenge wrongs overcame me each time. Sure I know you are thinking it was no more or less than the urge to kill. I have to agree with you. But I only kill people who deserve to die. I only pin the crime on associates that deserve to go to jail forever. The criteria makes it hard to get two people who don't really deserve what they are getting. When I set up a case the cops walk through their paces and find each piece of evidence I've left for them. They already expect it to be a case of someone murdering someone they already know. So when I leave the breadcrumbs showing them who knows who and where they are only to happy to close the case on some scumball and get a happy nights rest. I do a public service. I help clean out our courts of repeat offenders who abuse the laws of the land to steal lie and cheat. So don't go getting all high and mighty on me. What I do will long be remembered not for how many people I have killed but how many lives I saved. But I really needed to go. The twilight was being replaced by a glow from the East and I had more than a few miles to put in before my next job. But I was lucky in that I loved my work. If only everyone could be as lucky. First breakfast. Wait for the newcast. Then the phonecall. Then I could leave. It was going to be a good day. A very good day.
A company, feeling it was time for a shake-up, hires a new CEO. This new boss is determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO notices a guy leaning on a wall. The room is full of workers and he wants to let them know he means business! The CEO walks up to the guy and asks, "And how much money do you make a week?"
A little surprised, the young fellow looks at him and replies, "I make $300.00 a week. Why?" The CEO then hands the guy $1,200 in cash and screams, "Here's four weeks pay, now GET OUT and don't come back!"
Feeling pretty good about his first firing, the CEO looks around the room and asks, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-off did here?" With a sheepish grin, one of the other workers mutters, "Pizza delivery guy from Domino's.
Even in death Terri Schiavo is not free of the machinations of those who would seek to gain political points. I would seriously suggest a living will for all. Better yet I think I should throw together a packet and sell living wills. Use the whole Terri Schiavo thing as a scare tactic to make more sales. Whoops my bad. Didn't I start this on a note of people who exploit the dead being bad? And we all know people who exploit the dead are nothing more or better than ghouls.
I just don't have it in me tonight. You are either with the choir or not. So tonight I don't think I'm going to go political. Instead maybe I'll go personal. Talk about myself. Shit I've seen. Things I've done. One of the things I have done is went to prison. I know I've talked about it before but it sticks with you. It is a different world and life than the one we live on the streets and it leaves marks. Leaves scars in the soul if not the body and more often than not both.
Saw a fat man fighting a skinny man over a young man who looked like a girl. That alone is memorable, but combine it with the fat man taking a shot to the heart with a shank, and a twenty to thirty foot geyser of blood shooting out every few seconds as he ran a few yards across the basketball court before falling on his face. Now that makes it something you live with. Be involved in race riots where it looks like one is fighting the whole Zulu nation. That leaves memory. Home brewed wine or pruno or buck or whatever one wants to call it brings a memory, but knowing the guy who stole a crate of prune juice and made like sixteen gallons of prune juice wine, well that is a real memory. He sat and shat and giggled and wiggled as he drank more wine and sat and shat and giggled and wiggled for days. The poor bastard was mighty haggard after the event. The guy I knew who was once buff. Would work out in the weight room that had no heat so that in the winter you would see all those around you lifting weights with steam coming off thier bodies. Mighty fucking cool image. Yet he got out became successfull then threw it all away for crack. I've seen things the rich will never see. Sights the normal folks can never understand. Yet easily with grooming I shift into their world with the same bullshit they throw on. But it galls me to be so obtuse. False. Fake.
Can ya tell I've been drinking? Well I have so there. The wife recently commented. It's down in comments. Go read it. Now. Or not. But go read it. She has a good head on her shoudlers and counters my bullshit nicely. Without her I would have been dead long ago. And we somewhat agree on George Bush. We both tend to think he sucks and wonder why he hasn't been brought before Congress, The Hague, or a firing squad. But we can't live in a utopian world now can we. The assholes are in charge and we all, every damnded one of us, yes you too, and me especially, we all know better than every one of them. Thass right we sure fucking do don't we. But seeing as how no one is paying the least bit of attention to the majority of us who might actualy have a near grasp of the situation the question remains what to do next. I mean we could continue to write about fixes and problems and scandals no one seems to care one damned bit about except in blog land, or we could make a plan to get the hell outta Dodge.
I wonder if there are groups in Dodge who discuss ways to stop people from getting the hell outta Dodge. Chamber of Commerce or something. But anyways, where was I? Crap I can't remember. Read read read scan scan AhHa. Huh? Where to go if you are one of those end of the worlders. Hmmmmmmm? Notta clue. I might head South seeing as how there is some open room down that way. But seeing the way our government has treated those fine folks down that way, and the level of poverty, well I wouldn't advise it without a serious plan. North? To far for me. But hey who stands the best chance of continuing to make beer after the bombs go off. Canada or South America? Hmmm? Europes gonna glow. The major parts of Russia and China as well. Australia will take but a few hits. Iran! Yo Iran! You take major hits. Learn to melt. Practice melting. Japan gets a few along with Hong Kong and ShangHai. New Zealand gets crap. Nada. They don't take hits. They get some fallout. Lucky sheep screwing bastards. India and Pakistan finally get to settle that age old battle over Kasmir. South America takes a few for the Gipper. Africa is virtually ignored as in no one believes anyone there has the cash to buy and build nukes except DeBeers and they like the global scene so aren't into nuking the world just quite yet. All a grand illusion of intrusion of an over active mind.
"Burp"
After a really good party a man walks into a bar and orders a drink. Already drunk and delirious, the man turns to the person sitting next to him and says, ''You wanna hear a blonde joke?'' The person replies, ''I am 240 pounds, world kickboxing champion and a natural blonde. My friend is 190 pounds, world judo champion and is a natural blonde. And my other friend is 200 pounds, world arm wrestling champion and is also a natural blonde. Do you still want to tell me that blonde joke?'' The man thinks for a while and replies, ''Not if I have to explain it three times.''
I've tried to keep my commentary short and to the point. I tend to ramble off in regions unexplored if not. And there really is a host of other better written sites that offer documentions with each theory and subject. Many can be found in those links to the left I so often mention. I mention them because they are usually good blogs. Some of that crap over there isn't blogs but hey it's my page and I'm still weeding. So as I ramble into a new subject instead of getting to the point I catch myself rambling and get right to the point.
I ain't doing political commentary today. Go get your fix in that shady area to the left, the links ya know. Damn junkies. Now go play. Off wit ya.
There were two old geezers living in the backwoods. Their names were Rufus and Clarence. They lived on opposite sides of the river, and they hated each other.
Every morning, just after sunrise, Rufus and Clarence would go down to their respective sides of the river and yell at each other. "RUFUS!!" Clarence would shout. "You better thank your lucky stars that I can't swim . . . or I'd swim this river and whup your butt!!"
"CLARENCE!!" Rufus would holler back, "You better thank YOUR lucky stars that I can't swim . . . or I'd swim this river and whup your skinny butt!!!"
This went on every morning. Every day. Twenty years.
One day the Army Corps of Engineers came and built a bridge. Still, every morning every day for another five years the shouting and feuding across the river continued. Finally, Rufus wife has had enough.
"Rufus!" she yells, one day. "I can't take no more!! Every day for 25 years, you've been threatenin' to whup Clarence. Well, there's the bridge...have at it!"
Rufus thought for a moment. Chewed his bottom lip for another moment. "Woman!" he declared, snapping his suspenders into place. "I'm gonna whup Clarence's butt!!!"
He walked out the door, down to the river, along the riverbank, came to the bridge, stepped up onto the bridge, walked about halfway, looked up....TURNED TAIL AND RAN SCREAMING BACK TO THE HOUSE, SLAMMED THE DOOR, BOLTED THE WINDOWS, GRABBED THE SHOTGUN AND DIVED, PANTING AND GASPING, UNDER THE BED!!!!!
"Rufus!" cried the misses. "I thought you was gonna whup Clarence's butt!!!"
"I was, woman, I was!!" he whispered.
"Rufus!" cried the misses. "What in tarnation is the matter?"
"Well," muttered the terror-stricken Rufus, "I went to the bridge...I stepped up on the bridge...walked halfway over the bridge...looked up..."
"And?" she asked, breathless with suspense.
"And," continued Rufus, "I saw a sign that said, "Clearance, 13 feet, 6 inches" He ain't never looked THAT big from the other side of the river!!!!!"
Three rabbits escape from a testing lab and find an entire field full of carrots. They eat themselves into a stupor and sleep throughout the night. The next morning, they find an entire field full of female rabbits with no males in sight. They screw themselves into a stupor and sleep throughout the night. The next morning, the rabbits get to talking. "I'm gonna go back to that field of carrots," says one. "I'm gonna go back to those cute little rabbits," says the second. "I'm going back to the lab," says the third. "I'm dying for a cigarette."
A doctor walks into a bank to deposit a check.
He reaches into his coat and pulls out a rectal thermometer and tries to sign his name.
Realizing his mistake he looks up at the clerk and says, “That’s great, just great. Some asshole has my pen!”
While you would be hard to find any in depth reporting on it we are still at war in Iraq. This is how many months after Bush claimed the old Mission Accomplished? But asking that question harms the image of Bush as supreme leader. So maybe I shouldn't ask any hard questions. The Downing Street Memos raise the question of duplicity. Finally the media starts to mention them but with a wave of the hand the right removes them as being old news and rehashing old news is really just being seditious. If we loved our country we'd just forget about all the lies and mistakes so we can move on. Dredging up all this nastiness for everyone in the world to see only smears our image and aids the enemy.
Now some of what they say is correct. True true that these gaffs political aid the enemy. But it isn't the left's fault for pointing them out. It is this administration's fault for allowing the never ending stream of gaffs to ever see the light of day. For carrying on a campaign to decieve and circumvent America and our laws. So while bashing Bush may indeed aid the enemy in that they see not all Americans approve of the chimp in charge, it is still our duty as Americans to make sure the office of president is held by people with integrity as well as the best interest of the whole country. Not just a select few. Not just business. Not just the rich. Not just the lobbyist. So if it is soo wrong for the left to ask the tough questions because of the war. And folks these are tough questions. Many of the answers could seriously lead to charges of treason or hearings in the world court. If it is so wrong to ask these questions because the answers themselves harm our image as nation, then why exactly did we spend so much time worrying about Bill Clinton getting a blowjob?
Long winded. Nowhere close to straight to the point, but you get the picture. The right wraps itself in the flag and uses the Bible as a shield to deflect all the tough questions they should be answering. The apologist claim it's unAmerican to even ask these kinds of questions. Especially now while we are at war. That it is sedition to make the president look bad. Then they go on to claim it is all Clinton's fault for getting a blowjob. But Hillary has a big lead she sure does. And they are all positive she'll give them a real run for their money in 2008. Hey what about that Michael jackson trial? Iraq? Haven't heard anything lately, but what about that runaway bride story. Torture at secret American detention camps? No haven't heard a thing, but did you hear they are going to be trying Saddam? Such is the misdirection the media employs.
A woman walks into a tattoo parlor and asks 'Do you do custom work?'
'Why of course!', says the artist.
'Good. I'd like a portrait of Robert Redford on the inside of my right thigh, and a portrait of Paul Newman on the inside of my left thigh.'
'No problem,' says the artist. 'Strip from the waist down and get up on the table.'
After two hours of hard work, the artist finishes. The woman sits up and examines the tattoos.
'That doesn't look like them!' she complains loudly.
'Oh yes it does,' the artist says indignantly, 'and I can prove it.' With that, he runs out of the shop and grabs the first man off the street he can find; it happens to be the town drunk.
'Well, what do you think?' the woman asks, spreading her legs. 'Do you know who these men are?'
The drunk studies the tattoos for a couple of minutes and says. 'I'm not sure who the guys on either side are, but the fellow in the middle is definitely Willie Nelson!'
But I tell you that that specific amendment to the Constitution is being brought up for amendment again. I say again because from what I understand it is brought up in a regular cycle with each new group of elected offcials. So since it is being reviewed. Since the Republicans have a deadlock on both houses. Well it could happen that George Bush could be allowed to run for president once again. I doubt he'd win, but I doubted he would win last time arguments of voter proceedures excluded.
The scary part being they could actually do away with it and allow chimpy to run again using the same bogus tactics to insure another win.
Once you step into the belief that this could be tied into getting chimpy a third term, then it isn't at all far fetched to believe elections are fixed, the whole game rigged, and all our asses up the creek with fewer paddles day by day.
It was funnier for me when someone proposed allowing foreigners or people not born in this country to become president allowing the likes of the reverand Moon and Arnie with his Austrain accent leading crowds to scream out in nationalistic frenzys reminiscent of a Germany from long ago.
Can a person who was once president run as vice president to a new candidate? Clinton and Clinton in 2008? Party Slogan of, "At least you have an idea of who we're fucking." "No one dies when we fuck them." and the ever famous "At least our blow jobs aren't killing thousands of people." T Shirts. And are the polls starting to show actual numbers or are we again being played for saps and being redirected and misdirected to see only the issues they want us to see instead of the issues that are?
Bahhhhhhh! Time to drink.
A fellow came into a bar and ordered a martini. Before drinking it, he removed the olive and carefully put it into a glass jar. Then he ordered another martini and did the same thing. After an hour, when he was full of martinis and the jar was full of olives, he staggered out. "Well," said a customer, "I never saw anything as peculiar as that!" "What's so peculiar about it?" the bartender said. "His wife sent him out for a jar of olives."
Two dwarfs go into a bar, where they pick up two prostitutes and take them to their separate hotel rooms. The first dwarf, however, is unable to get an erection. His depression is made worse by the fact that, from the next room, he hears his little friend shouting out cries of "Here I come again ...ONE, TWO, THREE...UUH!" all night long. In the morning, the second dwarf asks the first, "How did it go?" The first mutters, "It was so embarrassing. I simply couldn't get a hard on." The second dwarf shook his head. "You think that's embarrassing?" "I couldn't even get on the freaking bed.
Oh! And did I even get a chance to go off about the Michael Jackson verdict? Let's just say for a minute that I was found in bed with some naked women. And it happened not once but a lot of times. I even publically announced that I liked sleeping in the same bed with naked women, which I do, and while I admitted that I always said I never touched them. Why exactly is it that such a public display of a known modus operandi of pedophiles didn't at least set off a few warning bells in at least one of the jurors heads? Where were they during the trial? And does anyone anywhere actually believe Michael Jackson hasn't been fondling young boys for years? Ever notice any claims of little girls in his bed? Any of the people making these accusations mention little girls being molested? Seen any pictures of little girls hanging out the window of Michael's motel rooms in foreign countries? No. He likes little boys and that is that. But as we all see now he is clearly innocent. A jury of his peers examining the evidence could not find enough proof to convict or were not convinced of his guilt. I wasn't there so really cannot say one way or another. But I can question alot of things the trial brings up. And I can wonder exactly how long it will be before we hear of another trial and more children being fondled by this serial pedophile.
The Top 5 Excuses for Being Drunk, Naked and Covered With Nacho Cheese

Show me a popular right wing blog and I'll show you a blog with no comments or limited registration. To deny that the most popular right wing blogs do not allow dissent within comments cheapens us all. I myself know from being banned for using facts while discussing issues. So thought I to self. Why exactly is this. Is it just because they don't wish open fair debate or is it because the left behaves that badly?
Now I'm sure any of you well read bloggers and readers out there are familiar with Atrios. I open the page. Read the topics. Find a topic I feel my two cents is worth tossing at. Comment. And for some reason it seems they move along nicely with little to no troll like behaviour. What does this illustrate? I'm sure there are permutations here for social scientist to study for years. But what gives? Once a right wing web site gains popularity they almost automatically go to registration. Once popular enough they remove all comments. The reason often given has to do with trolls. But the most recent example was one I mentioned where a father was asked why he didn't tell his sons to join the war if he supported it that much. He closed down commenting. What does it all mean?

I started combing through my links last Thursday and have made it up to the T's. If you see some links missing chances are they were out of date or right wing rubbish. But there is still days of reading goodness just waiting for you diehards who can't get enough. Now you go play games and stuff.
A juggler, driving to his next performance, is stopped by the police. "What are these matches and lighter fluid doing in your car?" asks the cop.
"I'm a juggler and I juggle flaming torches in my act."
"Oh yeah?" says the doubtful cop. "Lets see you do it." The juggler gets out and starts juggling the blazing torches masterfully.
A couple driving by slows down to watch. "Wow," says the driver to his wife. "I'm glad I quit drinking. Look at the test they're giving now!"
But in today's changing political climate the movement to legislate morallity is in full swing. Criminalizing drinking, drugs, sex, loud music, public protest, free speech, the fourth amendment. Well you get the picture. Seems in this new dawning right wing dream the ends justify the means. So if we need to break the law to protect freedom well then we'll change the law. If it means taking away civil liberty to protect it we'll damnded well do that too. If it means locking away more and more of our citizens each year well then so be it. Because it's freedom, apple pie, and the American Way of Life we're protecting. And a damnded fine sentiment it is. Anyone who doesn't share it is obviously unpatriotic. If you don't back these issues then you obviously are against God, America, and Freedom. But what about the freedom of all those you put in prison? Are they all wrong?
Ignorance is Power.
A long time ago, Britain and France were at war. During one battle,the French captured an English major. Taking the major to their headquarters, the French general began to question him. The French general asked, "Why do you English officers all wear red coats? Don't you know the red material makes you easier targets for us to shoot at?
In his bland English way, the major informed the general that the reason English officers wear red coats is so that if they are shot, the blood won't show and the men they are leading won't panic. And that is why from that day to now all French Army officers wear brown pants."
I've been going over this Hillary in 2008 in my mind. I really hate being a sexist or giving the illusion of being a sexist, but........ I've spoken with a few people who said they'd vote for her. They also said they wouldn't like doing it. So I see a feeling much like the Kerry fiasco. A candidate the people are only voting for to get rid of the other really crappy guy. Not someone they are really behind. Now with Kerry I think the slimy feeling of voting for him was different than some may experience if they had to vote for Hillary. I'm guessing they are thinking people and realize that their votes were but token votes anyways. Almost like a Nader vote. You know you are going to lose but you want to send the message anyways. So those I spoke with about Hillary weren't bashing her on views or agenda or flaws, but rather because they felt she didn't stand a chance but they would vote for her anyways.
Yeah! That's the kind of presidential nominee the Democrats should field in 2008 to take back the White House. Bufoons. But how exactly do they distance themselves from the stories the oh so bought out media is pushing about her current popularity without being totally insulting? I mean can they afford to come out and say they are definately not running Hillary in 2008? Is it all part of a grande sham so the two sides can both field female candidates? And does anyone really feel the Religious Right mullahs are ready for rule by a female? As if they would even allow it. But like I said this was just some tripe rolling around between me ears. Yes there is indeed plenty of room for ideas to roll around thanks. And Dean just doesn't stand out anymore. Though I have heard some words about him bashing Bush, and how wrong for him it was to do that, blah blah blah. So nothing new there. He's still getting bad press from the press. But watching him now in his new position of authority so to speak I have to wonder what exactly he's showing us. Where's the real outrage? Where's the jury trials for war profiteering and treason? Where's the impeachment of Chimpy? Seems he really isn't kicking up that much of a fuss. I'd expect a "Yeeaarrggh!" man to be a bit more pernicious than that. I'd expect him to have his teeth in the heels of this administration at every turn. But maybe they're saving that for a later act in the circus that is American politics.
And not like I don't already get too long winded for my own good, but was out reading today when came by an article over at "Hairy Fish Nuts", it can be found in the linsk to the left, and he was going off about something found over at TBogg, also can be found to the left, and TBogg was going off about a right wing blogger that had recently shut down their comments. He wasn't taking credit for making the guy shut down comments but instead was taking credit for being able to ask the question that most needed to be asked and was met with a serious gap in credibility and answering. Seems this right wing war blogger who writes tripe, is there any other kind of right wing war blogger out there? But anyways this guy obviously had mentioned his life. He lives in West Virginia. He included a picture. No I won't post it so all can laugh at it nor will I make fun of the way the guy looks. You go look up these articles for yourself. But anyways seems this guy supports the war. Wonders why Liberals hate America. Thinks more Americans should support the military. But when asked why if he thought the war was so noble and right and needing to be done, why exactly he didn't seek to encourage his children to join up. Seems the fool had mentioned he had family, boys in college, opening them up to fair questioning about if it's patriotic to join, if the war is that important, if it is all worth it, then why exactly aren't his kids joining up? And for that matter why isn't he, I've heard the military has started accepting older applicants. And not long after the man shut down his comments.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! A true wingnut exposed publically for all the world to see. It's a fine war, just not for my kids and family.
God called St Peter in for a conference. God said, "Pete, I want to take a vacation. Do you have any travel ideas for me?" St Peter replied, "God, you're going to love Venus. There are 8 foot beautiful women there." God said, "No, too close to the sun. Too hot" St Peter says, "Well, how about Mars? It's been a zillion years since you've been there." God says, "No thanks. Little green men bouncing off of my kneecaps is not my idea of a vacation. Besides, it's too far from the sun. Too cold." Then St Peter says, "Well, what about Earth? There are 3 billion interesting people down there, each doing their own thing. And the temperature is just right." God said, "Ha! Are you nuts? The last time I went to Earth, I knocked up some jewish broad and they are STILL talking about it!
Now I have been maced. Hey I was once a real honest to life criminal. There are many varieties and most really aren't that bad even when you get a direct hit. Wipe your eyes and keep on keeping on so to speak. Some will make you believe your eyballs are melting out of your skull. So as with anything and all devices there are strengths, potencies, dosages. And with each new device they build there has to be a use or the maker has wasted money making something no one wants. So with each new device comes a push to sell them to whoever is allowed to have em. So we see rubber bullets. Bean bags. We see sound weapons, and lazers that just hurt not burn, supposedly. We hear tell of stinks so bad you might piss yourself to get away from them. And all these are forms of weaponry designed to placate citizenry without killing them or leaving lasting damage.
I'm not going to mention how many deaths can be directly attributed to tasers, or how just possibly a trigger happy police force may be over using them. Instead I'd like to veer over to the why do we really need all these new weapons for crowd control? Is someone expecting crowds? Unhappy crowds that justify removal with weaponry? Now please let us not be confused or ignorant of the fact that some if not many demonstrators break some or many rules. Blocking traffic. Littering. Not enough PortaJohns. Some law somewhere that someone didn't check up on being broken, but also the laws where blocking streets is illegal and interferes with normal daily operations. Do you allow demonstrators to shut down a town or city by sheer volume of numbers? By them strategically placing themselves and representatives to impede justified movement of other citizens they break laws. And overlooking it would only encourage it as a course of action for those wishing to make a point, whatever point, to everyone else. So there does indeed need be some form of sensible crowd control. But is handcuffing a five year old girl sensible? Is pulling out the taser on a beligerant sixty seven year old man the right way to handle the situation? Do we remember Rodney King because he was black, or because a citizen was being abused at the hands of the law?
Eric Cartman in his little police uniform comes to mind. Laughable in it's extrem silliness of a child doing something that an adult would never do. But do indeed they do. You wouldn't have very far to go to find a cop who believed perps have to fear and respect them. And out of those you found who felt this way you could easily find a "few bad apples" who if you didn't fear or respect them to their liking would be likely to pull out that taser. BzzzzzZapTckTckTckTck. And it isn't always their fault or our fault or anyones fault. Sometimes you get out of a vehicle after a traffic stop and the cop demands you get back in your car. Other times they demand you get out. And often it doesn't matter either way because they are trained to demand something from you so as to place you in a vunerable position which is safer and more effective to their jobs. They are trained to bark orders to take control of situations. And part of their training is that if someone doesn't comply or act quickly enough they are trouble makers and must be defused. And these would all be comendable qualities in a real emergency or real crime.
So it isn't the use of non lethals I guess that bothers me but rather the use of it on regular citizens who are supposedly breaking some small minor ass law that probably shouldn't be a law anyways. When a cop cannot deal with situations with normal citizens without dragging out a tazer one must wonder what they plan on doing the first real crime comes along. Are they so trigger happy to play with their little cops and robbers toys that they shoot women and children, the elderly and the sick? Because from news reports around the country it looks like they've been doing just that. And no matter how much this group or that group trys and say it's all racially motivated pleae understand they treat poor white trash the same way. It's why they call us poor white trash. We are poor. We are white. And they treat us like subhumans and have the right to call us trash because we've obviouslly not read the rules about crossing against the light, or drinking in public, or not having a place to live and money in your pocket, or being in the wrong neighborhood skin wise but the right one pocket wise. Becase seldom do we see on the news that Joe McCashBucks was dragged from his Jaguar and tazered until he swallowed his tounge. It's not often you hear about Mrs WipeMyAssWithMoney getting handcuffed and dragged off in front of people. Or litte Jimmy and Suzie GotOurGoldSpoonFromGrandPasWhiteredAss being handcuffed and searched in front of their classmates. At any age.
That is because that kind of treatment is for we subhumans. For those poor and derilict who build their houses, cook their meals, mow their lawns, fix their cars. You know we average people living average lives. We are the victim in this little abuse of power that has been escallating for some time and now threatens to reach new speeds and proportions. The little Eric Cartmans are on the job and the upper echelons seem filled with people of much the same mold. Because we must learn to respect their authority. We must learn to accep thy will do as the please no matter what we say or do. The sooner that we learn that the sooner things will all be better. They are only doing this for our own good and to protect us from people harming us. Or to protect us from us harming ourselves. Or to protect the children. Or Freedom. Democracy. The American Way.
Did the troops at Kent State feel they were killing Americans or doing their jobs? Did they feel they were crushing free speech or protecting the American Way? Does the asshole tazering some punk for not being respectable thinking he's saving the streets or is he just enjoying watch another human writhe around in agony? And do we really think that someone getting pulled over for a speeding ticket deserves to be treated like that no matter how mouthy they get? Was it okay when they were black? Is it okay because they've done drugs or had drugs? When exactly is it okay for one human to take down another with "NON LETHAL FORCE"? I mean do the crimes even jutify the punishment of being treated like a wild animal and taken down to the street? Because you don't hear about some serial killer getting sympathy for getting zapped once to often. It's not like I hear about rapist sniveling that the bad old cop shocked them a little too much with their nasty old tazers. It's stories about regular citizens who might have done something miniscule in the scheme of things being treated like subhumans and being punished because a police officer can't do their job without some form of violence.
Which brings me full circle to something else I've bitched and moaned about long enough. There are more crimes being committed because there are more laws to break. There are more people in prison for drugs because of the push to put more people in prison for drugs. Not because they are any more or any less available but because there was a push to make second class citizens out of people who wouldn't bend before the authority. There are more people seekign treatment for drugs and drinking now because there has been a push for mandatory counseling treamtments for all manner of non crimes. I call them non crimes because they are non crimes. Recent DUI laws display that more than anything else. People who are clearly not drunk going to jail and having all sorts of problems because a law was passed saying they couldn't drink and drive. Or drink and ride a bike, a horse, a lawnmower, a golfcart, a mororized wheelchair, or even walk for that matter. So new laws are added each year that result in more people becoming non criminals and subject to a system that makes it mandatory that they attend some form of counseling, then uses the data obtained to push for more mandatory counseling and arrest because it's obviously not working. But no you see they say the numbers going up proves that their system is working. With more crime and criminals and more being sent to prison and counseling every year that obviously they are doing a good job look how many people they've screwed, I mean busted. Instead of looking at it like if the laws were good, right, fair, and effective there would be less people being arrested, sent to prison, sent to counseling, ect.
But enough. The massive failures not only here but abroad display a pattern that can only lead to an agenda. They aren't screwing up at all. They know exactly what they are doing. They are taking away our rights. They are criminalizing sin. They are legislating their right to intrude further and further into private lives. And they totally want you to believe they are screwing up and are doing this because they have collective heads up collective ass. It the furthest thing from the truth. The agenda is moving along nicely. But I really still can't understand why these people are the way they are. Then it comes to me. They are freaks. Perverts. Sickos. They aren't normal and can't be happy and can't stand the rest of us being happy either. I've known people like that. For short times. I'd just stop hanging around them. Shame we can't just stop hanging around the current batch isn't it?
A man and a little boy entered a barbershop together. After the man received the full treatment: shave, shampoo, manicure and haircut, he placed the boy in the chair. Then he said, "I'm going to buy a green tie to wear for the parade. I'll be back in a few minutes."
When the boy's haircut was completed and the man still hadn't returned, the barber said, "Looks like your daddy's forgotten all about you."
"That wasn't my daddy," said the boy. "He just walked up, took me by the hand and said, 'Come on, son, we're gonna get a free haircut'."
Example. The Downing Street Memos. Plenty to look into there. Serious reasons to ask serious answers of our elected leaders. Serious reasons to expect to get some answers. But seriously am not seeing any media attention being devoted to what could be chinks in the armor that is the grande lie. Another example? New torture abuse allegations. Seems theres people talking. It's getting messy folks. People are dying while being questioned. Seems to me I've never heard of anyone dying because they were asked some really hard questions. And what gives with coroners not following the party line and agreeing with the heart attack and suicide stories? They can't even run covert operations right anymore. Idiots. Another example? Oh come on. Why not? Failing poll numbers and a growing gap with what real Americans want and what they are getting. More car bombings and roadside bombings and attacks and murders and executions and this and that out of Iraq. I mean there are news stories aplenty out there, but our bought and paid for media is instead reporting on Deep Throat. Sure it is news but it isn't front page. Its old news and should be recorded down for historic reasons and maybe bring America some real news that hasn't been screened by the White House. We are getting manufactored news instead of the real thing.
Taste kind of bland and crappy once you get some real reporting doesn't it? Come on you right wing knuckle dragging cretin. I know you got a chill when reading about some real dirt on some real dirt bag who just happened to be a right wing wind bag like yourself. Seeing some real news displayed for all the world to see. A byline with depth and merit. And an authro who probably just ruined their career to do it. Whistle blowers. And we see a huge push to punish the whistle blowers. Here we have some person who feels a great need to spill the beans on lies and corruption that we'd never hear about unless they blow the whistle. And here we have those most effected by the actions of whistle blowers seeking to hang em by their thumbs for all to see. Lovely world we live in. Did we ever leave the Dark Ages? Have we sunk so far so fast? And what of Hillary?
Why exactly does the Democratic party allow the Republican party to frame all the issues? Is it because they suck? Seriously is it? Are they all a bunch of graft taking pansies sucking up cash from the public trough as quickly as they can before the shit hits the fan? Don't think I'm going Republican. I'm not. But this is a jab at the losers who still aren't out there doing news conferances daily. It's news when a congresscritter steps out and calls the president a hack. It's news when a senator steps forward outlining lies and deception used in the run up to war. It becomes news when they step forward with facts to back them up and tell it like it is. And from reading intensively for a few years I know it can't be a lack of facts holding them back. They must want to suck. Hillary in 2008? Yeah right. Call me a sexist if you wish but speaking on a practical note you ain't gonna get the male vote Republican side. You may not get the female vote of either side. Or even the majority of the male vote from the Democratic side. We are still at war. I know it's a war everyone now ignores, but we are still there. People want some big strong man in front. Not some woman prone to menstrual cramps or hot flashes. Shoot me for a fucking sexist, all I am saying is how the majority of America would and will react to the situation. And others know this to. Like those folks over at Fox Screws who keep talking about Hillary in 2008 like it's a given fact.
But enough. You either know it all and agree, or know it all and disagree. And chances are you didn't come here to read the tripe I spew forth with such glee, but instead to play games and sneak a peek at some porn. Most likely while you're working or supposed to be studying at school. I am soo ashamed of all of you. Especially you in the back. That is just disgusting. Wash your hands. But after you get over your shame I advise digging around in my links. I hid twenty seven million dollars reserved for you from the bank of Ghana and will happily send it to your bank account once you've given me all account numbers. And while I'm at it, your PayPal account may be expiring. Could ya send those numbers as well to save time? Kill two birds with one stone so to speak. And like since we may need to know it for Publishers Clearing House seeing as how we're bringing this huge check to you "secretly" you should really give us your name, date of birth, and social security number. All for tax purposes I assure you Mam.
Police arrested Malcolm Davidson, a 27 year old white male, resident of White Plains, NY, in a pumpkin patch at 11:38pm Friday. Davidson will be charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, public indecency,and public intoxication at the County courthouse on Monday.
The suspect allegedly stated that as he was passing a pumpkin patch, he decided to stop. "You know, a pumpkin is soft and squishy inside, and there was no one around here for miles. At least I thought there wasn't" he stated in a phone interview from the County courthouse jail.
Davidson went on to state that he pulled over to the side of the road, picked out a pumpkin that he felt was appropriate to his purposes, cut a hole in it, and proceeded to satisfy his alleged "need".
"I guess I was just really into it, you know?" he commented with evident embarrassment. In the process, Davidson apparently failed to notice the White Plains police car approaching and was unaware of his audience until officer Brenda Taylor approached him. "It was an unusual situation, that's for sure" said officer Taylor. "I walked up to (Davidson) and he's...just working away at this pumpkin."
Taylor went on to describe what happened when she approached Davidson. "I just went up and said, 'Excuse me sir, but do you realize that you are screwing a pumpkin?' He got real surprised, as you'd expect, and then looked me straight in the face and said, 'A pumpkin!? Damn...is it midnight already?'"
Gotta problem with that?
