Lawyers, guns, and money

the headline reads: In an ever increasing tightening of consumer demands around the country, the bare necessities have changed from food, clothing, and shelter to lawyers, guns, and money!

Need proof? Look at New Orleans! Were the looters stealing food? Hell no...they were getting guns and things they could turn into cash, like jewelry and clothes (hey, who doesn't need clothes after the storm? If you have some to sell...there you go).

Well, in looking at the new reports of consumer spending, besides thinking economists are a bit goofy, I find things quite interesting...in what they don't say as much as what they do...

From Yahoo News:
The August sales report showed US consumers were maintaining robust spending levels despite the large increase in petrol prices. Gasoline station sales increased 4.4 percent in the month.
Retail sales are up 7.9 percent in the past 12 months. Excluding autos, sales are up 9.4 percent and excluding gasoline, are up 6.0 percent.
"These results cast more cold water on the notion that if non-discretionary spending on energy swells, it must crimp discretionary spending. It hasn't," said Ken Mayland, chief economist for ClearView Economics.
"Consumer spending has continued to advance strongly" even as petrol prices have doubled over the past two years, he said.
A breakdown of the August figures showed that furniture sales went up 0.9 percent, sales at health and personal care stores rose 1.2 percent and sporting goods sales increase 0.5 percent. END

Of course sales at the pump were up...It was the summer...duhhh. Of course sales figures for other than cars are up...it was the summer, and the kids are also getting ready to go back to school. Not surprising is the drop in car sales...notice where it says gas prices doubled in the last two years. (you can thank our oil company president for that one). We have to drive SUV's right? I love those 12 miles per gallon! Now watch what the gas prices do to boat sales...

With all the credit cards the hurricane victims are running up, you'll see ore need for lawyers, guns, and money. With all the racial tension the dems are churning and burning...more lawyers, guns, and money. As we see more people who were left for dead or to drown as people said "feet don't fail me now" and saved their own asses, more need for lawyers, guns and money. As more people try to move back into the stormed-out areas and protect what little stuff they still have, the need rises. As more heads roll over who screwed this all up...more lawyers, guns and money. When the general wanted to keep the press away from the operations to recover the dead, in came the lawyers to mess with the guys with the guns, who came in to stop other guys with guns, who were looking for money and some flooded-out turf to control in order to make more money, then the politicians all start sniveling (who happen to all be lawyers or need them all the time). You see how this goes...

Furniture, health and personal care, and sporting goods? What does that sound like?

...baseball bats, condoms, and guns. No matter what you do, if you use one of those three, you'll need a lawyer, and they cost money. Lawyers, guns and money... If people would only use the guns on the lawyers...then people can keep their money...

McDonald's "Phys Ed" Program! Ha!

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - McDonald's Corp. on Monday said it is sponsoring a physical education program that will appear in one-third of U.S. public elementary schools, the chain's latest move to combat critics who blame its burgers and fries for expanding kids' waistlines.

"McDonald's Passport to Play" will launch in 31,000 schools this fall, reaching an expected 7 million children in grades three through five, the company said.
The move is part of McDonald's so-called "Balanced Lifestyles" initiative, an aggressive effort to promote physical activity and nutrition and deflect harmful claims that its food is unhealthy and fattening.

"When you do the right thing and you are giving back to your community, you benefit as a brand," Bill Lamar, chief marketing officer for McDonald's USA, said in an interview.
The idea for the program came as McDonald's was looking for a way to promote its "Balanced Lifestyles" message to children and families through schools, Lamar added.

The world's largest fast-food chain - which is the target of a 2002 lawsuit brought by two teenagers who blamed their obesity on McDonald's Big Macs and Chicken McNuggets - in the last three years has made broad efforts to improve the image of its food, including packing its menu with items like salads and fresh fruit that are lower in fat and calories.

The company has also incorporated images of sports and other kinds of physical activities in its advertising and marketing, and Chief Executive Jim Skinner has listed such initiatives as one of his top priorities as CEO.

Sending that message directly to children is a smart way to begin to change the perception of its brand for the long term, said one expert, who likened the task of changing McDonald's unhealthy image to "turning around the Queen Mary."

Adults "are pretty well set in our ways in terms of our perception of the brand," said Robert Passikoff, president of New York-based brand consultancy Brand Keys Inc. "They can mold the sense, and perception and belief of the brand at a young age. It's a smart thing to do."
McDonald's, however, said the aim of the program was not to manipulate children.

"McDonald's has always been a family-oriented restaurant," Lamar said. "We do want children in our restaurants ... but we don't exploit children, we don't manipulate children."

Through "Passport to Play," kids will learn both playground games and activities from around the world as well as facts about the culture and countries the games come from.
Students will each receive a booklet, or "passport," bearing the Golden Arches logo in which they will check off each game they learn.

The McDonald's name, however, will not appear in any of the materials, according to Jay Jennison, director of business development for Kaleidoscope Education Support Group, which developed the program. "It can't be about that," Jennison said. "They want support from Corporate America but they don't want to be a marketing outlet for Corporate America."
McDonald's said it could consider expanding its sponsorship of school programs to older children or introducing a nutritional component to the current program in the future. END


This one is funny all by itself! Does anyone really still go to McDonald's? I thought it was "go to McDonald's for the fries but Burger King for the burgers?" Subway and Quiznos are better... Acidman's seafood pie sounds better still...

...and this is the American culture we give to other countries...

The first thing that pissed me off today was CNN!!!

Here we go again, a bunch of "male-chicken suction applicators" hiding behind that tired bullshit line about people having the right to know certain things in a free society. Check it out...

www.cnn.com/2005/US/09/07/news.update/index.htmlFederal government gives up effort to block coverage of recovery of bodies HOUSTON (CNN) -- The federal government abandoned its effort Saturday to prevent the media from covering the recovery of bodies in areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina, following legal action by CNN. Joint Task Force-Katrina "has no plans to bar, impede, or prevent news media from their newsgathering and reporting activities in connection with the deceased Hurricane Katrina victim recovery efforts including access to the sites, photographing, or reporting," wrote Col. Christian E. deGraff in a memorandum submitted in court. "We are pleased by the decision," said CNN News Group President Jim Walton. "The free flow of information is vital for a free society."On Friday, a U.S. district judge in Houston granted a temporary restraining order to CNN against a "zero access" policy announced earlier Friday by Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, who is overseeing the federal relief effort in the city, and Terry Ebbert, the city's homeland security director.

Of course that "Richard Cranium" Walton is pleased! Now he can have families of the dead see their loved-one's face as they get pulled out of the water! Not only can they be devastated by their loss, but shocked by the graphic nature of their family members physical condition after being in the water so long. Nothing like going to court to get the rights to full-gore, eh Jim, you asshole! What LTG Honore' was doing was trying to respect the dead, care for the living, and make sure a little dignity and decorum was applied to this situation. We all know it could use some of that by now! No, not CNN...they want the damn Texas Chain Saw Massacre for all to see! Hey! Where was the court battle over the picture of JFK junior after he soaked for a couple days? Oh, decided to skip that one, huh? Tell you what Jim...if they catch any babies, maybe you can see if they can hold them up to the camera for you.. You need an ass kicking.

I can understand wanting to see old Hanoi Jane's' corpse, hey, she deserves it, but I don't think allowing respect for the dead and some common decency will hamper the free flow of information. I think it's just your twisted urge to see gore. Picture your family members getting yanked out of the water in such a state not even a gator would be attracted to them, with the associated odors and wretching from the people stuck with having to perform that grim task. Does that somehow arouse you? Stupid female parent fornicator...

You're a sick puppy, Jim...

All I know of blogging is this...

To tell you the truth, this is it. I just Googled "blogs" one day, found a site that gave them out for free, and did it. As I get more into it, I see lots of other blogs that are so much more interesting than mine. How do I get one of those? How do I get one I can "personalize, make my own, and have pop-up as fast as other blogs do...much faster than my own. How do I get one that links me to others, others to me, lets me put up pictures, movie cuts, quotes, animation, etc.? I want to be more imaginative than this. Anyone have any suggestions?

Bring out the MOAB!

Remember the MOAB? The "Mother of all Bombs," they thought up before the oh-so-sensational and not to mention melodramatic "Shock and Awe" campaign, which was apparently shocking and aweful enough for Donald Trump a.k.a. Mr. Comb-over to copyright the term?

Well, I want to see it! Wheel that fucker out here and blow one up! Do it within sight of the insurgents, maybe they'll crap their pants, yell some damn religious expression in farsi that probably means "feet don't fail me now," and scatter like the rat-bastards they are! That's what we need- a really big, earth-shaking, tooth chipping, defecation-inducing explosion that WE set off, not the other way around!!!

I figure it this way; if you have a dog, and he doesn't do something right, you roll up the newspaper (except the Washington Post, you know liberals aren't into the corporal punishment thing) and whack old Fido on the sniffer. If you have a bigger dog, I imagine the need for a bigger rolled-up paper. Well, in the "insurgents versus the good guys" scenario, they keep hitting us with the paper. Imagine if unexpectedly, old Spot reared-up on his hind-legs with a bigger newspaper of his own and split your shnoz in two, with that thing rolled so tight it hit like the louisville slugger I have in the back of my Mountaineer!!! It would surprise the shit out of you, right?

Well, imagine if after the insurgents blow-up a roadside bomb or something, they get hit with a MOAB! It's gotta work! Come on! Break'em out! They're around here somewhere, I'm sure!

Do you see a trend?

I've notice my entries have become less and less light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek sarcasm and have become a bit darker and more serious. Oops! Sorry. I'll try to lighten up. I just have to unclog my brain.

Where was God for that one?

When the airplanes full of innocent people were about to crash into the World Trade Center and that farm field in Pennsylvania, where was God? I can understand the Pentagon, as that was a military target.

When the Muslims in Darfur were raping women in order to "breed their kind out" where was God?

When warlords are killing the men, raping the women AND the children, then killing all of them in Somalia, where was God?


When Saddam was gassing thousands, where was God then?

When Hitler was killing the Jews, where was he?

When people were killing in his name, why didn't he come and say "whoa, don't blame me for that?"

When genocide was happening in the Balkans and entire civilizations were disappearing, where was God?

When God took a dear friend when he was only seventeen, or both my grandparents in their early sixties, or lets so many children around the world suffer and starve every day, where is God? When my cousin suffered for years and then died from Muscular Dystrophy, forcing his two brothers, two sisters, and parents to participate in all that, with his mother going and praying in church every day, where was he then? If he does exist, he has a pretty sick friggin sense of humor that I don't appreciate.

My mother's a devout Catholic and my Dad is a believer, and now my brother and his idiot wife disrespect them and treat them like dirt, although there's this thing about "honor thy father and mother." My Dad cries and my Mom tries to act like it doesn't bother her, in kind of a weird role reversal, but it bothers them both. Dad's lost weight and the doctor told Mom she had a silent heart attack. What's worse is, my brother's always been an asshole. Where are the repercussions if you don't honor them? Where's the wrath we hear of? Where's the justice?

We already know that if women swear to be faithful and loyal in front of a priest and their entire family in a church, then don't do it, not only do they not get punished, but get rewarded with custody of the kids. Yep, that Catholic education really paid off!

When God lets religions usurp his authority on earth, Catholic priests abuse young boys and the "church" to get away with covering it up and condoning it, where is he? Yes, by covering it up, they condone it.

Well, when he lets a kid who serves in this hell for a year (for a reason none of us are really sure), only to go back to Louisiana and have his mother tell him that his brother was killed by the hurricane...well, that's just cruel. Where's God for that one?

Faith you say? No. People who are believers try to make people who question God's existence feel badly. They try to make you feel as if you should have some sort of shame for not believing as they do, or that the mere act of questioning things is mortally wrong and they see you as lesser of a person. That arrogance is part of the whole God "thing." Arrogance is also a bad thing. If the meek shall inherit the earth, where are the meek? Certainly not in charge of anything, just look around. Faith can also equal foolishness...

Maybe I don't know enough about this whole God thing? Maybe I need to examine it more. All I know is, I was a church-going Catholic. Then, after seeing the church condone buggary, I stopped all that. Well, that, and after having priest after priest trying to talk me into separating myself from my money because it was my "duty and obligation." Sure it is. After taking a look around at all the evil crap that's done in the name of God, and the stuff that happens that really calls for divine intervention, my belief kind of stopped too...

Our president claims to be a God guy. I guess part of that is having little or no problem with sending young kids to die... Jessie Jackson claims to be a reverend, but somehow it doesn't stop him from banging strange women, imbezzling money, and showing his racist side by bad-mouthing the "white devil." How many of those other religious "leaders" are such great role models? Swaggart? Hey, who cried on TV about having sex with young girls? Pat Robertson? He's like Vito Corleone, looking to "whack out" Hugo Chavez! Does being religious mean I have to hang out with these people?

Faith you say?

No thanks....

It's easy to be a lefty when you're loaded...

What do all these leftist, subversive, mentally deluded, insecure and emotionally needy hollywood (small H is intentional) people have in common? What do the likes of Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Martin Sheen (the evil one), Sean Penn, Rosie O'Donnel, Kirsten Dunst, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Danny Glover, Micheal Moore, Barbara Streisand, Springsteen, Mellencamp, Bon Jovi (not his real name), and all the other loathsome liberals like them have in common? That's simple. Money. And little do they know, it's the worthless job they do that enables them to be liberals. But you can tell they don't feel all that good about it. After all, their job is meaningless to humanity.

Maybe they feel unfulfilled because deep down, in places that are suposed to matter, they're empty. Empty because pretending to be someone else for a living while they bring simulated sex and mayhem to the masses just isn't necessary. Maybe it's because inside, the money makes them feel like whores, or like zoo animals surrounded by people who lead equally sick livings getting pictures of them. You can tell they're insecure. What do you think the awards are all about. It's a bunch of falsely rich people with tremendous egos and frail emotional states getting together to validate each other. It's pathetic and sad, but what's worse, this is what our country is worried about. Being entertained is the most important pursuit of Americans, right after money. Forget about duty, respect, honor, love, or anything that means anything, those things are too hard to get. Just color your hair blonde like Brad Pitt, who said he did it because he craved attention...apparently he's also a broad underneath.

Ever been out with your drinking buddies where you got so ripped that you thought everything you said was the most important thing in the world? Ever see drunk people having a really passionate conversation about war and peace, love, marriage or whatever, but when you get closer, you realize their conversation is actually incoherent to anyone else but them? That's what the money does to celebrities. They get these weird ideas and philosophies that are fueled by money just like the drunks at the bar, and they only make sense to themselves!!! Why don't they realize that? Hey Celine...SHUT YOUR TRAP! No one cares what you think, and that goes for all the rest of those Hollywood idiots. I bet you that if you add up all the money they give, it would be less than the same amount of private citizens in their pay range. Oh, but I forget...these people make more than anyone else in our country, with a few exceptions. That speaks volumes about the state of our country, our values, and just how jacked up we really are.

...how much did all you celebrities donate to the hurricane relief effort? No, personal appearances don't count. Put up or shut up. Oh, and who volunteered for the USO besides Gary Senise (thanks Gary)?

If only Springsteen didn't jump on the liberal bandwagon. Does he know what that does to a guy from Jersey? Yep, I almost cried when I threw the CD collection away. Hey Bruce, how's that factory in your hometown, eh? I heard they asked you for some help...and you told them to pack it up their collective asses... Yep, you really ARE a liberal...

Sandy Burger-Meister Meister Burger

I gotta tell you, this one stinks! Yep, no doubt. The dude admits that while acting as "National Security Advisor" to President What's His Name, that he stole documents from the National Archives and then destroying some of them. Admitted to it! So what happens? He's a political guy, with a network, so he gets a fine and can't hold a government clearanace for three years. Man! He got the book thrown at him!

Oooooh! Buuuurn. Somebody save him! Yeah right. If that was me, or you, well, especially me in my job, I'd get "conduct unbecoming, larceny, grand theft, destruction of property, etcetera, all stuck on me...lose my job and then end up in jail. Not this asshole, noooooo.

This is one of the reasons why other countries hate us!!! Will we ever learn? The rich criminals get away with murder (no O.J., you don't need to go anywhere) while others get hammered. Senators kill women and "oops, guess I can't be Senator anymore," or the now famous "what? That wasn't me" (yes Senator Kennedy, I'm talking about you), or "some of the documents fell out of my suit into the fireplace by accident, " or "no, I didn't have sex with that woman." Liar, Liar, classified documents on fire! Have vs Have-not strikes again. Book-em Dan-O!!!

There's a general officer right now that's getting hammered for having a relationship with a woman after separating from his wife, while the President of the United States can do it IN the White House, lie about it, get away with it, still be president, and let everyone still say "what a great guy!" We live in a house of hypocrits.

What's really ironic is that even in light of all these crooked sum-beeyotches, I still worry about saying too much, going overboard, and getting slapped. Man! If I committed a felony, I think I'd be okay, but get a little too non-PC, and I'm screwed...I guess.

Everybody run! Sean Penn's got a Gun!!!

Sean...you're the man!!! To go from bailing out a boat with a beer cup a couple days after it was all over, to patrolling the streets a couple days after everyone is outta there...man! Talk about cajones! Danger man! Living on the wild side! Strapped! Forget the kevlar vest you wore on the boat, you're Danger Man!!!

Wait!!! Aren't you the same Sean Penn with anger management issues? Aren't you the same guy I saw a picture of serving a knuckle sandwich to a photographer? Are you supposed to be within 500 feet of a firearm? The paparrazzi better watch out or you'll murdelize' em, see! Yeah! Hopefuly they can't chase Sean down in New Orleans because he's packin some heat and ready to bust a cap in someone's ass! When does the movie come out Sean? Will you send free copies to deployed military?

Actually, it's nice to see a liberal come to his senses, realize that people's rights are protected by people with guns, that the cops and troops aren't the only people that can grab a "shootin iron" and go out and maintain order, then actually going out and doing it. I never actually thought I'd say it, but Sean Penn is doing an admirable thing. Sean, you're still not forgiven for going over and hanging with your buddy Saddam, but it's a start. Go grab Tim Robbins! You know he's just dying to pitch-in. Here's your chance Tim! Ever hear the expression "put up or shut up?"

Really, carrying a shotgun and treading through that water...I would actually like to join him...well...except for this little deployment to the Middle East thing I have going on right now...

Some helpful hints for you Sean, since you are an actor and all...
1. The pointy end goes away from you.
2. Using a gun to lean on is strictly a movie thing...don't do it for real.
3. Loaded guns work better than unloaded guns.
4. Don't let anyone take it from you.
5. Extra ammo is a good thing.
6. Shotgun shells really don't like the water for too long
7. Pulling the trigger makes it go "bang" really loud...just thought you should know.
8. If you have to "waste" anybody, make it George Clooney or Jane Fonda

Wow...Sean's got a gun! Nice! He may just be more normal than I thought, since I saw him on "Bam" and now he's totin a gat! Hey! Are you the legal owner of that thing? Now let's go get two more for Rosie and Springsteen!

By the way...I have an NRA application and hat for you!!!

Ace and Gary...tail gunners...

I figure while I'm spreading hate and discontent for the races, the genders, etc. etc., I may as well hit on gays. You know, there's nothing more odd than a flamer. You know? A dude that acts like a chick. It's weird, and it's not trendy or fashionable, it's just weird. Now I have no qualms on how someone lives their life, as long as they're not hurting anyone, but it's strange to see two dudes hugged-up on each other and I just don't dig it. As your typical guy from Jersey, I can handle lesbians, but two guys just creeps me out. Sorry. Good thing I don't have to deal with it much. I'm thinking though, the terms used should change, since so many negative connotations have come on the current ones.

Take for example the term homo-sexual. It just sounds bad, like you're having sex with yourself or something. Get rid of it. Also, the term "gay." It just makes people think of pink tutu's and all that Dorothy and Wizard of Oz shit, so scrap that one too... Fag? Gone... Lesbian? Outta here. Queen? Well, that makes people think of Freddie Mercury as well as guys who are wanna-be chics, and the cranial conflict often leads to vapor lock with Bohemian Rhapsody stuck in your head for days, so out the window it goes!

Now, I like the classics, you see... Fairy? It still has merit when discussing the masculinity of the individual. "Bull-dike." Wow! That's clear enough for even the most clueless individual to understand. "Poof." British in origin, but I'm still tracking. It's where the slang turns graphic where I get all misty-eyed for the days of old, where you could talk about such things without being branded a "hate-monger," homophobe, or some such thing and have a bunch of protestors show up at your door or get forced into "sensitivity" training. You know, things like "rump-wrangler," etc... Truth is, I think this country is now way beyond the pale of sensitivity and into a politically correct hell! Here's my solution...

As I've said on previous occasions, non-heterosexuals need to demonstrate how much they are just like everyone else, not different, and all will be well. I believe in equal protection under the law, and that gays in the US already have the rights they want, but all the protesting and bitching just pisses people off. Also, if you're a guy and you're into other guys, at least be a manly guy. Don't try to be a girl. Same applies for the women. If you're a broad, don't try to be a dude. (Yep, I bet the word broad is getting under someone's collar). Then you can be "ambiguously gay," and use the term "Metrosexual." It has a "queer about town" kind of ring to it, with no negative side effects. Kind of like non-alcoholic beer...

Hey...don't ask, don't tell...right?

I didn't quite think that, but...

I tried to log onto a website given to me in a comment by Anonymous called Americanwomensuck.com and it was blocked by a "ratings" filter on my network.

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are...

Hello Mr Lightfoot!!

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down,
Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy.

Well, it's not the Gitche Gumee, but Lake Pontchetrain. Big Lake, in the heart of an area where some very evil shit was done in the 50's and 60's when people were pushing for equal rights. Where were the three civil rights workers killed while they were registering to vote? In Mississippi, fairly close by. Where were they buried? ...a levee... Creepy, eh?

Now we see dead people floating around after the levee broke. Maybe it didn't break. What if it "gave up it's dead?" What if the lake did that when the skies of September turned gloomy? What happens if they identify the bodies and find someone who went missing years ago?

Could this mean the lake actually pulled the storm to New Orleans? Was it divine justice? Was the place getting so wicked it had to be cleansed? Was giving up the dead part of the process of the lake repairing itself like it was? Or were the "Ghosts of Mississippi" pulling the storm over across the river? After all, it hit on the Mississippi coast, not directly on New Orleans...

Who knows...maybe we'll find Jimmy Hoffa floating by...

Da Goddess told me so...

I see her comment that there are still some American women who have values and know what loyalty is...

I don't know about that...thinking about that makes me dizzy and I think I hear a clicking noise...

Just kidding. Actually, there probably are some quality American women out there with good values and are honorable people...but I just don't have that kind of money and don't want to live in Alaska... :) Besides, if you watch "Desperate Housewives," you're out! If you are a single mother or divorcee and you let strange men in your house around your small kids...you're out! If you own any women's self-help" books...you're out! If you know what time Oprah comes on...same thing. If you can explain to yourself the difference between loving someone and being "in-love," hit the doors! If you can pull off a disgusting round of adulterous behavior and then pin the blame on your husband, not only are you all jacked up, but you're gone! If you can look your husband in the face and invite him to come hang out with you and your boyfriend...well, then you're my ex, but you're also gone! If you believe you still have to make sure you don't "miss" any part of your youth after you have kids, and your kids are not your all-enthralling mission, not only do you suck, but you're gone!

...oops...talking about the ex again. Basically, after taking a marriage vow, you should at least demonstrate loyalty and respect for the other person...at least until the divorce is final. Running out and banging someone else and catching a disease and blaming it on your husband while he's home reading with your 3 1/2 year old ...oops, there I go again...but at least the carpet cleaning shithead she had got his commuppance when she pulled the same crap on him she did on me, not six months later...after he was living in my house and...much to my surprise...I was supporting him. Pathetic...but some women love to see how low they can go...

But now there are no worries!!! I have an absolutely amazing chica, I wouldn't walk across the street to pee on the ex if she was on fire, and hey...Acidman still talks to Da Goddess...

Blame and Shame. Are we as weak as we look?

Hate to say it, but it looks like my predictions for after the storm, posted on 2 SEP, are going to come true, and do so in spades. (no, that wasn't a racial reference) . I'm actually listening to some Spanish guitar music which always mellows me out, so the real edge is off. Too bad...

The democrats are purposely trying to divide this country in the hopes of gearing-up for the next election. Despicable yes, but not surprising if you think about the dickheads we put in office nowadays (that's a term for both genders in this situation). No one wants those jobs, since you have to hang out with back-stabbers, brown-nosers, apple-polishers, liars and ass-kissers, who are basically reprehensible and annoying. So look who takes them... Are we a country of people who can't step up and say "yep, we fucked that up" and then try to fix what they did wrong? Nooooooooo. Of course not. It's much easier to blame someone else. Weak-minded knuckleheads, all of them. We look like France on this one...which is ironic in the light of the fact New Orleans is another failed French idea...not surprising, right? People are laughing around the world!

I think the next person in Washington DC that lays blame on someone else for the theoretically poor (but actually as good as you could expect) reaction to the hurricane should be required to take his or her cronies down and bail out New Orleans with a bucket.

You know, protesting for the hurricane victims in front of the White House is real effective. Yep, so is trying to shove a pillow up your own butt! Go to New Orleans and help out, or go back to work and send the extra money over to the Red Cross. Those people make about as much sense as that goofy professor from Colorado. Again, we look like fools overseas, where I happen to be, watching all this crap on foreign news channels. No wonder why people hate us so much...

We bicker, we insult each other, we continue racial stereotypes and racist tension, it's like a scab...it'll never heal unless you stop picking at it. I'd love to tell all the politicians and ex-politicians to shut-the-hell up.

Oh, read the article called Two Americas, One White, One Black, on the website "Hispanic.cc" and see if that retard doesn't have a political bias and a warped sense of reality.

You know what, I'm just tired of talking about it.

How did I get so lucky?

I'll tell you what...fortune comes in many forms. Where once I was married to a skanky little fake blonde fragile ego Florida cracker who could best be described as a manmilk guzzling gutter-slut, I'm now blessed by a woman who is old school, good family, loyal as a guard dog, and smoking hot in the classic sense. Want something better? She's from Spain, and grew-up in Panama, so there's no American girl chip on her shoulder. I'm actually her biggest fan, since after devoting the 12 years after her goofy husband left her for that faggoty game called golf, she devoted her life to nothing but her kids, and she has the best attitude of anyone I know. Hopefully some of it rubs off...

A friend of mine, who used to be a Catholic priest and an Army Chaplain (but that's a story for another day) now finds himself equally fortunate. While going on a chaplain's retreat during his service in Korea a few years ago, he met the love of his life waiting to go to Hawaii in the Inchon airport! She was actually the niece of another chaplain, and fast forward to today, he has two beautiful kids, and his wife is ready to have the third any day. I have to say I'm envious of him, as I was only able to have one kid with my ex before she turned into a porcupine (you know..if she poked-out as many times as she's been poked-in).

What's the key ingredient here? The similarity? My friend's girl is from the Philippines, and has no American girl chip on her shoulder either. In fact, she's not upset at all about being a woman, unlike my ex. There's no foul language coming from either of them. They were taught that men and women should live harmoniously, not be in competition with one another. They understand that just like lions and tigers, we're both members of the same species, but we're different, so no need to compare. All those typically American phenomenon like "the battle of the sexes" are seen as ridiculous by such women, and should be. Moral of the story? In 99% of cases, marrying a foreign woman will give you a higher chance at a successful marriage and a happy life.

To add to my assertions, here's what my friend recently said:

American chicks will constantly put stress on their husbands about not having enough money.

On my way back to Iraq, a soldier had left an FHM magazine lying around and having never seen one, I decided to take a look. What a stupid magazine. Do men really read this? The women are total skanks, hussies, sluts and hos. These are the exact women that men should avoid at all costs (except, perhaps, for the occasional sport fuck.) Is this what American women aspire to be? Do men realize that if one of these skanks is able to snag him, his life will become a living hell? (For the time it lasts and she no longer needs him and she has found something better (read: richer). My perception was that this magazine (and probably those like it) actually mock men, ridiculing him and blinding him from seeing that there is so much better out there.

These people hate the traditional, conservative values of real women, the foreign ones. Maybe Acidman needs a vacation in the Philippines or Panama.

I've read Acidman's comments on women, and agree with him.

Bob Denver's Doomsday

Man! Just when you think things are chugging along, good old Bob Denver up and dies on you! Rats! He'll never know that he's one of the reasons why I don't believe we ever landed on the moon. Yep, you heard me right.

Riddle me this...Gilligan's Island in black and white, but color movies from the MOON? Yeah, right! Next thing you'll tell me is that's Tang powder in the hula hoop instead of sand! What's more is, in one episode the space capsule landed on Gilligan's Island and there was way too much room inside it and way too little shit that should be in a space capsule. Not serious about that last thing.

He also taught me about women (believe it or not). Sadly, I must have stopped watching the show entirely too soon, which probably explains the ex. He showed me there are two types of women (mostly, with exceptions). There are those you marry, and those you F (word beginning in F, rhymes with Firetruck) . Ginger was the plaything, the one whose looks wouldn't last and you got the idea she had taken a few trips around the block. Besides that, she was egocentric, insecure, and a giant tease, just the kind of chick you don't want. Maryanne was the girl from back home, not worldly in her ways and old fashioned (which means she was nobody's college f (same word as before) doll, but who just so happened to be smoking hot with looks you could tell would last longer than Gingers. She was insecure also, but in a naiive, young girl getting compared to an unfair example of another woman sort of way. Ginger was the one you screwed, Maryanne was the one you married. Through all this, Gilligan maintained an obvious vow of abstinence as did the other castaways, because unless they had a boat full of condoms, no one was having sex on the island! Just a TV show? No way man...it was the first reality series just like Survivor!!! There are STILL things you don't show on TV...

Well Bob, I'm not done my lesson, but what can I do? I still wonder how after all that time, the Skipper was as fat the day you were rescued as the day you were marooned. Also, would you have stood a better chance of surviving the storm if you didn't let people pack so much shit for a three-hour tour? Also, why does the show have one picture of the boat on the beach, and in another, it seems to be half-way up a hill? Okay, in the episode with Reb Brown as the surfer, how could you be up in the tree and see him surfing in a wave at the beach after he decided to paddle back to Hawaii, but not realize you were close enough to swim there yourself? Oh well, secrets Bob will take with him to the great island in the sky...

Fair-thee-well Gilligan... Fair-thee-well...

The term "that's to die for"

You know, I think the term "to die for" is really situationally dependent, and if used in a non-combat or not in a "protection of your family" reference, it's actually pretty f-ing stupid. Take for instance your basic 18-year old know-nothing-fashion-immersed twit, who eyes a new pair of low-rise jeans where they've finally figured out how to expose a girl's vagina while keeping them up. she looks longingly at them and breathlessly utters that rediculous comment "those are to die for." Oh yeah? Excellent! I was just thinking the same thing! If you're offering to push that teen suicide rate even higher, I'm all for that! There you go genius, here's a toaster to take in the tub with you! Mak sure you push the pretty little bar on the side all the way down once you're in the water, it's really fun!

Then we have your basic overweight, self-proclaimed "gourmet," which in most cases is just that person's excuse for having a body that looks like 200 pounds of chewed bubble gum. As they hoist a spoon full (a spoon the size of a kids beach shovel) of some type of crap no regular person whould eat based on the unusual looks of the chow alone, they trap the contents of the shovel in their mouth like snapping a rat trap, close their eyes, pull their head back revealing the third chin, and there we go again...out comes the phrase "that's to die for." Again, if said individual would like to die for that, I'd be more than happy to cram the rest of it down his or her craw, along with any other food item, utensil, or object within reach at that moment. What a silly thing to say! BrainClogger strikes again!

Some other things not worthy of dying for: clothing, vehicles, properties; the "shit" you have in your pockets; anything that has that stupid f-ing "Starter" logo or a sports entertainment "team" on it; food; the money in your wallet; in response to something stupid someone said to you; cheerleading (yep, in Texas they kill each other over cheerleading), any kind of sports contest; someone else's girlfriend or spouse; parking spots, pets (you can buy a new cat for less than 20 bucks), someone else's fight, traffic jams, bling-bling...well, you get the picture.

If you need to know what is worthwhile in case that life and death decision actually comes, here is the short list. Your family and friends, most human life...and Slurpees. Yes, Slurpees. Hey, I'm in the desert. What did you expect for me to say?

...as for the dying for your God or your country thing, the jury is still out on that. Your God isn't everybody's god, and until he actually shows-up and tells you to give it up, I'd hold back a while. As for countries, if you think it's your fight, have at it, but remember, your country is made up of a bunch of lying politicians who can very easily get you into a world of shit that isn't your fight, and it's not your time to die for those dipshits. If you think it is, that's fine too...

Austin Powers meets Blacula!

I betcha Mike Meyers won't ever do another telethon! Imagine that...forced to stand there while Kanye West blurts out "George Bush doesn't care about black people." Wow! Kanye, it took you that long to think that up between shopping trips for "bling-bling?" Mike must have had a shiznit! Flash! Austin Powers ambushed at politically-correct guilt-laden charity event."

So Kanye, how long did it take you to think that one up? No worries, you'll probably boost your album sales with an idiotic comment like that anyway! One problem though...there are no black people. Nope. Sorry. You have to call all "formerly" black people "African Americans." didn't you get the memo? So you see, Mr. Bush can't possibly hate "black people" because there aren't any. I thought you knew that?

You see...political correctness just bit old Kanye in the ass... Scroll down for my earlier moment of racism. There's a message about standing on your own two feet and taking personal responsibility Kanye may want to read. After all, weren't YOU supposed to have the disaster plan for New Orleans? No? Then why was it Mr. Bush's job instead of the guy that runs the actual city? Hmmm. I wonder who's being a racist now, Kanye?

You know, I'm trying real hard to stick to my personal philosophy that only two types of people exist in the world...regular people, and assholes. Problem is, people all over the place are doing their level best to get me to change my mind.

Hey! Isn't that a United Nations symbol on his shirt? That's all we need... I don't want to hate you Kanye, and luckily, I don't have to. Why? Because you're an asshole. Just ask Mike Meyers...

Evacuate England!!!

Do you think Mr. Blair has a plan to evacuate all of Great Britain in case of disaster? Does he expect to have to do that?

Well, New Orleans is bigger than that! Was the President really supposed to have that plan ready? Was he really expected to react with perfect timing and evacuate an entire city's worth of people somewhere else? Come on...whatever these politicians are smoking, I don't think it's legal!

The news is no better. I'm suprised and saddened by Fox, who seem to be on the "Bash Bush Bandwagon," and don't even get me started on CNN World. Things take time...
