Commercial Fisherman's reality check...

Guess what guys, here's the truth, from a Florida fisherman....

...you're fighting over a resource you don't own. If a species takes years to grow to "marketable" size, and you take them out in too drastic a number, they will go away.

Want another reality check? Okay. Everywhere the commercial fishing of a species has been controlled...the fish came back. Everywhere! Look at the results of the Florida net ban, the mackerel management plan, and up north at the Striped Bass recovery just to see a few.

The odd thing is, you all get so greedy and competitive against one another, you forget there are other people out there. Some people, myself included, no longer bottom fish with any regularity. Part of the reason is I'm currently deployed to the middle east, but there are a couple others:

-You don't see the numbers of fish you used to see. I didn't catch a Red Grouper anywhere near keeper size in 2004. I only kept one Gag Grouper all year.

-Guides taking people fishing and others who don't know bow from stern act like assholes. You have to all share a patch of reef or spoil area, but they get so damn competitive for space it takes the fun out of it. It went from days where everyone applauded if someone caught something good, to "fuck you this is my spot!" I didn't become a fisherman to deal with stress and idiots.

-Groupers have predators in the form of Jewfish (the politically incorrect but real name of the Goliath Grouper), which eat everything in sight, and have become plentiful, yet are still protected. One pain-in-the-ass Jewfish bit almost every time I was on a certain spot.

-bottom fishing is pretty boring and only needs a minimum of skill. I prefer sight casting.

-I'm a catch-and-release fisherman who fishes for the fun of it. If I fished merely for meat, it would turn fishing into the nautical version of the aviator's "$100 hamburger." With how much boats cost now, unless you're entering and winning tournaments, guiding clients, or using commercial gear, you will never recover anywhere near the cost of the boat by the amount of fish you catch or revenue produced, so stop trying.

As for you commercial fisherman, take it easy on the resource, offer your "bycatch" to a recreational fisherman, and don't ever let me catch you "finning" sharks or you will receive a beating that will teach you not to do it again. If you need some discipline, I'll give it to you.

Interesting thing today

I noticed that first, my predictions about the aftermath of the hurricane (printed on 2 SEP) came true.

Second, I saw that Kurt Vonnegut, who was a prisoner of war during WWII, said "American soldiers in the Middle East are being treated, as I never was, like toys a rich kid got for Christmas."

I tend to agree...and it scares me because Vonnegut is a lefty...

He said some interesting things in a Yahoo article today. Clink on the link to see it.

We need more monuments...like we need ...

...well, like we need more kinds of deodorants, or feminine hygiene products. Yep, we don't have enough so make some new deodorant fragrances that make people smell like their surroundings. Instead of Ocean Breeze or Summer Surf or any of that bullshit, go for some realism with Trash-Truck tropical (for garbage haulers), Municipal Utility Authority Apple (MUA Apple for short at the shit-plant), Jet Fuel Fresh (for people who work at the airport), Exotic Exhaust Pipe (for commuters and taxi-drivers), combined with more subtle things like Wetland White Out (with the smell of the marshes and office products), Copy-Paper Potpourri, Candy Carpet-Glue (it masks the smell of cigarettes and booze really well), and Urinal Cake Cherry (when you know you like the smell of the bathroom, and want to take it with you)!

As for the feminine hygiene products...wait..I digress...I'm supposed to be talking about monuments, right? Oh, okay...

Now coming to a mall near you...well, a mall not near you, but in the city you pay for with a mall that goes from the Jefferson Memorial to the Capital building. A mall where you can't buy a damn thing but more of your money is spent there than anywhere else on the planet. Money spent by governmental dipshits who wouldn't know the first thing about paying their bills; a hard day's work; defending their country, or living in the real world.

Well, now these knuckleheads feel the need for yet another memorial. Jeez! What now? Well, it's supposed to be a "Victims of Communism" memorial. Whew! Man, am I relieved! I thought they were going to skip that one! You know with Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Vietnam Women's memorial, the Buffalo soldier, the Unknown soldier, The Holocaust, and about 10 others, it's a good thing they got this one in while there was space!

I know you're thinking about what to plan for next, so I thought I'd offer a few more ideas...just in case.

- The Honest Politician Memorial. This one is self-explanatory, and actually should have been erected some time last century.
- The "Illegal Aliens" memorial- dedicated to all the bad treatment illegal aliens received under the hands of the mean old Immigration and Naturalization Service. It's a stone likeness of "Elian 'Alien' Gonzalez."
- The "Victims of Erectile Dysfunction" memorial- dedicated to all those people, mostly minorities, who were unable to achieve an erection due to a vast right-wing government conspiracy. Paid for by cutting the benefit to welfare recipients who don't have jobs but can get free Viagra.
- The "Victims of the Scurvy" memorial, which by politically correct inclusion also includes those who died from Rickets, cleft palate, hydro-cephaly (water on the brain), and Elephantitis in the US. This will be funded by the Navy, who were planning to use the money for another Filipina pedicurist at the Navy Annex.
-The Day We Killed all the Oil Company Presidents" Memorial. This one can have it's own little oil gusher and miniature people gathered around the entrance to a fictitious oil company, reminiscent of the people that came to the castle to kill Frankenstein. The government would have to employ at least 10 people to make sure no oil was spilled, or no people stole it to take home and refine in their little home refineries since the oil companies can't build any.
- The "Day China Bought Washington" Monument, commemorated by a Panda Express stand at the new Mao Tse Tung Memorial...formerly the Jefferson Memorial.
-"The Day the Music Died" memorial, a monument to the day(February 3, 1959) Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and the Big Bopper died in a plane crash. A loop of Don McLeans "Miss American Pie" will play 24 hours a day.
-The Ray Nagin "Wasn't my Fault" memorial, dedicated to 30 years of corrupt black rule in New Orleans followed by the ability to blame all your failures on that "White Devil" George Bush. A loop of the Shaggy song "Wasn't me" will play 24 hours a day. The self-guided tour is said to be "versheazy" and described as the "shiznit!"
-The Fisherman's Memorial"- This memorial is triple purpose, serving as a memorial to all the species of ocean fishes that were fished out of existence by foreign countries in our waters, while our government didn't have the balls to do anything about it. The second purpose is to commemorate the government's "bold" act of renaming fisherman into "fisherperson," so as to not offend women. The last is the when the women attacked the congress building claiming the name was changed right after there were no more fish to catch." As they attacked, one person heard the utterance of the term "dicks" in reference to some politicians, but none of them responded to that for fear of "offending someone."
-The "Sharp Instrument" memorial- Due to product liability lawsuits, all sharp instruments, to include thumb-tacks and disposable razors, will no longer be produced in the very near future. This memorial scheduled to go next to the "American Hunter," "American Gun Owner," and "Hot Coffee" and "Baseball Bat" memorials. Baseball bats will be labeled as deadly weapons in 2007 following the bludgeoning murder of Bruce Springsteen at the Democratic National Convention.
-The Yugo Memorial- commemorates the introduction and failure of the Yugoslavian "Yugo" in the US, where a whopping 200 were sold. Monument is an actual Yugo for sale.

Why Texas didn't have any looters after Hurricane Rita

Anti-gun Brady Bunch people flat-out lying...

Take a look at the picture in the link. It is a bold faced, flat-out, Liberal lie. No one is in greater danger in Florida as a result of the new "castle" law other than criminals

The poster actually says "use special caution when arguing with motorists on Florida roads." Hey dumbass! I have a better idea! Why don't you NOT argue with motorists! It's called road rage, dipshit, and it gets people killed! Why don't you plan on coming to Florida and actually acting civil for once in your life, eh? You don't have the right or luxury of having a pass that lets you come down and be an ass...

The new law states that if you are somewhere you have a legal right to be (read: your home, on the street, in your yard), and someone attacks you, it is now legally assumed they have the intent to cause you bodily harm or death. In such a case, you are no longer required to flee (which you still are in other states), but are now able (since lawmakers in Florida understand your rights) to actually defend yourself without fear the perpetrator will put YOU in jail for hurting him.

I know, it sounds too ridiculous to be true, but the liberals are so involved with criminal rights, it pisses them off that Floridians no longer have to run out of their own homes in order to flee an attacker for fear of going to jail. Now those idiots in the Brady bunch are doing what libs do best...just plain lying to you. Sinners...

I know, criminals on vacation have rights too...

The Plan for America.

A friend of mine sent me an email which apparently had Robin Williams offering his plan for America. I realize this is tongue-in-cheek stuff from a comedian, but it makes sense to me...

1) "The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their> affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those 'good ole boys', we will never "interfere" again.
2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea, the Middle East, and the Philippines. They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.
3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are. They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.
4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.
5) No foreign "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby.
6) The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.
7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go some place else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)
8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere." They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement, or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen, or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.
9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island some place. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.
10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. The Language we speak is> ENGLISH...learn it...or LEAVE...Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?
11) The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?'

Greed is not good...


Don't you just love how greed in this country got us where we are? We were attacked because we're greedy and believe in nothing but money. We have an oil crisis going on because we're controlled by the oil companies who will do whatever they can to maintain control of our country. We had to keep making big cars for greedy Americans. We watch foreign companies drive American companies under while the American company employees strike because they want more money, not even wondering if a job with less pay is better than no job. We see baseball players act like babies unless they make 200 million a year, basketball players making millions fighting people in the stands, while paramedics and cops make under 45K a year. All the while, I spend another year away from my kid to protect the rights of people to act like greedy idiots.

Tom DeLay and the 5 Monkeys

Five monkeys are put in a cage. From the center of the cage, a banana hangs from a rope. A ladder is nearby. After a while, the monkeys figure out they can get the banana using the ladder. After putting the ladder under the hanging fruit, they begin to climb the ladder and are immediately doused with cold water. After a while, the monkeys try again and are doused again with water. Fairly soon if any monkey gets near the ladder, the rest attack them for fear of being hit with more water. One monkey is removed for a new one, who gets near the ladder and is immediately attacked by the others. Another is removed, and when that one gets near the ladder, it is attacked by the other monkeys including the monkey that just came in. After a while, all the monkeys are replaced, so no monkeys sit in the cage that have ever been sprayed with water, but every time one of them gets near the ladder, they all get sprayed with water. They don't know why they do it, but that's what they were taught, that's how it has always been done, and that's the environment they found themselves in.

What if the monkeys were our politicians? What would they do? They're practically swimming in bananas, yet they still fight each other for more. They hide bananas and try to get more while acting like they don't have any. If they see someone else with a banana, they ridicule that monkey and try to take that banana away. If everyone else gets bananas, they bully the others, take their bananas, and keep them for themselves. Do they ever give some bananas to the people that put them in the cage? No. Do they give bananas to the other monkeys in the cage? No, and they ridicule the ones that do. They still attack the ones that try to climb the "ladder." Do they act this way because it's the right thing to do? No. They do it because that's the way it's always been done. Besides, it's better to be the "big monkey in charge," than one of the new guys.

You know, I don't care if the latest mud thrown on Congressman DeLay is valid or not, he needs to go. He is a blatant example of the good-old boy, corrupt, 5-monkey political system we have here, where there''s the way it should be, and the way it is.

Mr words to him: Guess what asshole...the people didn't elect you in order for you to line your pockets, but you're doing a good job milking the rest of the country for their gain! They may call you the "Teflon Texan," but I have a better word... Dick.

The foreign policy of Bingo...

Our foreign policy reminds me of Bingo. You go from turn to turn, not knowing what number will come up. You don't know what one it will be, but if you win, you suddenly believe it is because of your Bingo prowess instead of the sheer luck it really is. There is no consistent way to win, as there is no consistent foreign policy in our country.

It must be utter revulsion to politics and politicians that makes me think about how screwed-up our political system is. It's both humiliating and infuriating as an American, the way we let politicians warp our basic values for our comfort, pleasure, entertainment, security, or plain twisted sense of humor, and they do this internationally. What's funnier, and even more pathetic, is the way these "public servants" (excuse me while I go vomit) line their pockets and become "American royalty" in the process. People in government should call YOU Sir, treat YOU special, and kiss YOUR ass, yet somehow, we do it the other way. Well, not me. I just make myself scarce when they come around. My hypocrisy only goes so far...

Here are a few examples of our completely warped foreign policy. Warning! The truth hurts!

  • We say we're friends with Saudi Arabia, a monarchy, because they give us oil. This is the only reason we support such a repressive regime, on par with maybe...Cuba?
  • We don't like North Korea because Kim Jong Il is an evil little troll bent on destruction...but since he has nukes, we'll start being nice and "normalize" relations.
  • We don't like the evil Iranians, while secretly, we buy oil from them. We refer them to the U.N. for sanctions, while we send food to the North Koreans? Can you say inconsistency?
  • We don't like Cuba because Castro is a dictator. What do we give a shit? The only reason we don't like Cuba is because the pro-embargo side always gets the votes from the anti-Castro Cubans in Florida. If the Cuban voters in Florida said they wanted the politicians to have sex with pine trees, the hypocrites would be running around looking for a knothole. Why do you think we have a policy that gives residency to Cubans who land on the shore, but we don't do that for any other country, not even Canada?
  • We say we like China because they are a "democratic country." Yep, they're about as democratic as I am a Martian. We just like cheap sneakers, cheap dockers, and want to stay on the good side of their more powerful economy and enormous military. Basically, we're being nice so they don't kick our ass in a multitude of ways. Can you say trade imbalance?
  • We don't like Venezuela, but...wait...we do like Venezuelans, but not Chavez. Hmm. Wonder why that is? They give us 15% of our oil.
  • We like Haiti. Yep, we like anyone in Haiti that will keep the violence down to a low enough simmer so it doesn't make front-page news in Miami. That's it.
  • We don't like Syria because they harbor terrorists and won't secure their borders. If that's a criteria to not like someone, then why do we like Mexico? Oh, I remember, the Mexican government is run by a bunch of elitist rich people, just like we are! Why do you think we protect the borders of Iraq but not the border of the U.S.?
  • As for African policy, we like any country we can call the "good guys," whether they're being attacked by a neighbor, oppressed by religious groups, picked on by a bigger neighbor, or whatever. If they're the underdog, we can act magnanimous and say we're "helping" the little guy. Without that, or some oil, we could give a shit about them too.
  • We like Israel. We like Israel because the collective guilt of the world tells us to, and the fact they are an investment to the tune of a couple billion a year.
  • We like Kuwait. Why? Because they haven't cut off our oil supply...yet.
  • We like Egypt, because we pay Egypt to not attack Israel and they comply. Cash is King!
  • Japan and South Korea. We say we like them, so much in fact that we bend over and take it to the tune of "how do you like that trade deficit." They take advantage of us on purpose, and we let them. When we rebuilt Japan, did we give the newest steel-making technology to the American companies and give their old stuff to Japan? Hell no! We gave them the new stuff! Guess how long it took Japan to kill our steel industry?
  • For any country we say we like, it comes right down to the "Almighty dollar" as the reason why. We can't be neighbors and friends to other countries, because that wouldn't make any of our politicians rich...unless you have a lump of kickback money on you...
  • You can never tell how the politicians will strike a relationship with another country, therefore the foreign policy Bingo!!!

I think our policies should be based on the desire for win-win relations, not oil for overly large cars, guilt, consolation prizes, whims, popularity, or payola. But that's just my opinion...

Cleaning out the "Closet."

Apparently, the Vatican has decided to reaffirm it's no-homosexual policy in the priesthood. While part of me says that's good, part of me thinks "too little, too late." You see, the whole crapstorm over the pedophile priests and the church's lack of dealing with it to my satisfaction led me to make sure the church door (or the priest) didn't hit me in the ass... I came back from almost two years service in Korea right when the whole thing blew up. In Korea, I didn't miss a single Sunday service. But it just didn't sit well with my "keep your hands off little kids or suffer the wrath" policy, which I guess the American church didn't share. John Paul II thought that way, but the arrogant goons in the American Catholic church heard something else. Haven't been to mass since. They probably miss my money more than me anyway...

This strikes home in another way too, since the arrogant jerk that baptized little Brainclogger apparently had a problem keeping his hands to himself. What did they do? Kick his ass? Kick him out? Expose him for the pedophile he is? Nope. They sent him to New York.

So now I see news that the Vatican is thinking about banning gays from the Seminary. I have a bit of advice...don't think...do it. If you think gays are the problem...eliminate the problem by keeping them out. You'll never get all of them anyway. Better yet, instill a little "fear of God" into them by finding the gay priests and beating them within an inch of their lives!

Am I advocating gay bashing? No, I'm actually advocating liberal bashing, and preemptive striking. You see, if they truly fear the consequences of touching a kid, and the possiblity they'll get it even worse, maybe they'll think twice. In fact, forget the gay priests, kick all the new priests asses as part of their "initiation." Then give them free reign to do it to other priests they think need an old #6 (where you go riding into town a-whompin and a'whoopin every livin thing within an inch of its life). Make it more fraternal so they police up after themselves...the right way. Oh, and any priest that thinks he's someone special gets a slap on the mouth just to snap him back into reality. Hell, I'll even volunteer for that one. I already have someone in mind that was condescending to my mother some while back.

While we're on the subject of ass whoopins, drag out all the priests that covered this stuff up in the first place and kick their asses too. Then go to the seminaries where all the liberal college faculty-types are trying to change the church by admitting these "rump wranglers" into the school, and commence the old #6 again! Now we're having some fun! For a good cause too!

Do this stuff, and maybe I'll feel comfortable around the Catholics again, because ever since this whole thing broke, whenever you look at a priest, somewhere in the back of your mind, you say "I wonder if...?" Yep, you know you do. Problem is, the gay priests club together, rely on your own fear of not being PC, and the thought they're someone better than you. But you know you wonder if old Father Paddy is a Poof...

Think I'm talking out my ass? Well, I asked a friend of mine who used to be a priest until he snapped out of the celibacy illusion, married himself a Filipina, has three gorgeous kids, and is happy as a clam, what happened. I think the direct quote was "they let butt-reaming faggots into the seminary." So there you have it. Besides, you have to wonder about the masculine nature of such places. I mean, how many seminaries have footbal, rugby, or baseball teams? Sure, there's wrestling going on, but being voluntarily hugged-up against your buddy naked in the dark doesn't qualify!

But they hide it so well... After all, they call their legendary expertise at secrecy "the closet." Don't they? But after all this, will they get me back to mass like before?

Probably not...

Who is Kaiser Sose'?

Well, the "usual suspects" did it again. Pepetrated another crime on the American people...the same ones they are "chosen" to represent. Yeah...sure...

In their rush to prove how despicably reprehensible (double adjective...nice!) they are, they all voted against the confirmation of Judge Roberts. Yep, the usual suspects...they make me feel queasy just typing out their names...Kennedy, Pelosi, Clinton, Shumer, Reid, and Kerry.. Individually, a murderer; a pampered liberal whackjob; a woman who let her husband cheat on her, humilate her, and lie to his country on TV and took it because she wanted to be a senator; an anti-gunner; a complete loon; and a kept man who lost the ability to tell us what he wants. Collectively, they are the examples of what's wrong with our political system, especially Uncle Teddy...

Did they do it because they really disagree with him? No. Well, maybe they did it because the majority of their constituants wanted them to? Again...no.

A couple of them actually believe the country can stomach their sniveling and want to run for president, so they had to vote lefty. The others simply did it for the money. Yep, so they wouldn't piss off the special interest groups that fund their weirdness. Some people say they voted no for the white guy, so when the President puts forth a female or minority candidate, they can vote "yes" and look progressive. Trouble is, they're all white people too, and legendary at patronizing people. All they did was show they want to simply oppose anything the President does.

I wish I could put them in an interrogation room, slap the stupid smirks off their faces while yelling "Who is Kaiser Sose'!" or "Mao" like in the Deerhunter, dangle donuts too far out of their reach, force them to wear NRA hats and t-shirts that say "I Piss on the ACLU," and play a video of the Clarence Thomas swearing-in ceremony or the Reagan inauguration. It would be like Kryptonite for a Lib! I know...maybe the Clinton impeachment hearings!

I get the feeling the only sex old Bill is having these days...is with himself.

The Daily Planet

Remember Spider Man? He worked for the fictional newspaper "The Daily Planet." Well, I think the news today has about as much truth an objectivity as that fictional entity. Aside from that, it's always funny what American media people concentrate on. I spoke about it a few blogs ago, but here's another example.

I turn on the TV here in the Middle East, and you see Star News covering a story about a raid on a brothel in London where suspected "white slavery" was happening and the women had been trafficked in from 19 different countries, mostly in Eastern Europe. A sidebar to the story was about using an all-female police raid team to do it (I could hack on that all day, but I won't, and I don't know why).

Changing the Channel, there's CNN covering the story of the car bombings in Hilla, Iraq.

Flipping again...on came BBC News, where the girl was interviewing a South African doctor about the Bird Flu, which is said to be getting ready to become a "pandemic." I still wonder where they keep finding all the Brit girls with good teeth, and think to myself the three channels were covering some important stuff right at the top of the newscast. Of course, Star news can follow the worst story imaginable with the soccer (football to them) news and make it sound just as important. To them it is... They love their football, followed closely by crickett-definitely a gentleman's game...

Turning to CNN World (I know, you're thinking I get alot of news channels...and soccer), they're covering the fires in California, obviously trying to set that up as the next disaster after the two hurricanes, realizing that Ray Nagin just isn't that interesting...

Then I turn on Fox, which has "Fox and Friends" coming on. I see E.D. Hill, dressed as tacky as usual and having her daily "bad hair day," with an other-worldly hair color that's not her, yet still not as trailer-trashy and gutter-sluttish as the ex's hair. Suddenly E.D. yells out "Joe Montana!"

Without hesitation, I switched back to Star.

A bunch of red-headed stepchildren

I wonder if any of these democrats had parents? Here's why...

When we elect a president, in my opinion, we elect someone to act as head of the family...a la familia, of Americans. Sure, families fight and people sometimes disagree, but there is a code of ehthics in a family. Well, this is a code my no-account brother obviously forgot, but this isn't about him. Well, maybe a little.

In the family here, GW Bush is the father figure. Sure, you don't always agree with Dad, but there are ways to let him know that. You don't run to the neighbors and bad-mouth him, or stand on the curb screaming about how big of an idiot and a racist you think he is...no Sir. You keep your feelings and your issues in the family. You give your father the respect he deserves, and you treat him accordingly, no mattter how you may feel at the time. Oddly enough, after all the bullshit you give Dad, he still comes to help you when you need it, and you don't even feel any shame for how you acted previously. You keep up the gimme, gimme, gimme, and he keeps giving, although you don't deserve it.

What people don't understand, if you stand on the curb or run to the neighbor to bad-mouth your father, it doesn't make you look good. In fact, you look like a weak minded, weak willed, insignificant person for not showing any character. Fortunately for you, your father doesn't want to hammer you for the puke that you are...but your brother does...

What these narrow-minded people don't know is how absolutely rediculous they look to citizens of other countries. They see us on TV and laugh at us, thinking we already have too many freedoms and not enough character. The problem is, when they laugh, I'm in the room, so to speak, since I'm stationed overseas. My 'brothers" make me ashamed of being an American, for if they can't show loyalty to Dad, then who will they be loyal to? They were obviously spoiled and indulged as children. Where did you learn that life was all about you? Where's the honor that Dad deserves? How long are you going to blame him for your problems and when are you going to finally be a man?

Do you hear me Mr. Rangel? Mr. Sharpton? Do you hear me Chris? You three are far too old to be "feeling your oats" and rebelling against Dad. Respect him or shut your faces. Spread your wings somewhere else.

When our brothers disrespect our fathers, what are we to do?

More stuff on Ashton

Well, looking at the celebrity list of people (and liberals) who married older women, the list is interesting.

-Tim Robbins' 12 years younger than his companion, susan Sarandon
-Guy Ritchie' is 10 years younger than Madonna;
-Sheryl Crow' is nine years older than her fiance, Lance Armstrong.
-Justin Timberlake, 24, and 33-year-old Cameron Diaz' have been an item for over a year,
-Julianne Moore is married to Bart Freundlich, 35.
-Geena Davis is married to 34-year-old Dr. Reza Jarrahy, who is 15 years younger.
-Ralph Fiennes 42, has dated Francesca Annis, 61, for years.
-Elizabeth Taylor is 20 years older than her last ex-husband, Larry Fortensky.
-Cher's former boyfriend Rob Camilletti was 23 when she was 40.
-Mary Tyler Moore's husband, Dr. Robert Levine, is 18 years younger.
-When comedian-singer Martha Raye married her seventh husband, Mark Harris, in 1991, she was 75 and he was 42.

Some may think a 19-year gap is big, but look at the latest picture of Francesca Annis...wow...

As for men who marry younger women...who cares...

For non-Hollywood couples, there are online dating services designed to bring together singles seeking an "age-gap relationship." The slogan of www.maydecember.net is "years apart, coming together."

Similarly, www.agegap.homestead.com is a community for those in such a relationship. The Web site reads: "No one should suffer simply because they have chosen to fall in love."

Some things you choose...and some, well, they just happen, and you just have to go with it. Hi Honey!

My girl can out-fish your girl!

Ashton's a good man...

Well, lots of other adjectives can be used to describe his signing-up for his high-maintenance honey, but I'll just stick with "good man." He likes the older chicks. I can dig it. Yahoo news said:

"The younger man is attracted to an older woman most likely because of her poise, her social graces, her contacts. She has a polish he hasn't yet acquired," Dr. Joyce Brothers says of the younger man-older woman dynamic.

"She, on the other hand, could be attracted to his promise in their mutual endeavor — in this case Hollywood. Or his exuberance, his fresh way of looking at the world," Brothers told The Associated Press on Monday.

Brothers added that a woman's sexual peak is at a later age. The May-December match is happening more, she said, because "we're remaining vigorous, active and healthy longer — men and woman. The younger person doesn't have to worry about spending long years nursing the older one."

Always a pairing ripe for fiction — the films "Harold and Maude," "The Graduate," "Something's Gotta Give" and "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" are examples — the allure of the older woman is also a Hollywood reality."

Yep, in my own world, this is true. I dig the older chicks too, and the age gap between us is smailler than the Kucher-Moore one. The reality is, instead of her having a polish I have yet to acquire...she is the polished one...I'll never get that polish, I'm too primitive.

Hey! Maybe that's what she digs about me?

Another nut for the pile...

"A prominent black activist, Rev. Sharpton, also supported Mr. Rangel's Bush-as-Connor comparison...

"Clearly Bush has become that, especially after Katrina," Rev. Sharpton said. "We've gone from fire hoses to levees"

Yep, that's what Al Sharpton said about Rangel's racial slurs. He supported them, while others in New York said Rangel didn't go far enough, and everyone stays quiet... It's eery, but typical. Support. That's what he got.

Of course, if Sharpton believes his own bullshit, we may need to check his medication. Attacking people with levees? Old Al's been drinking his bathwater again...

More proof we're all crazy

Our craziness is obvious. Glaringly...blindingly...disgustingly obvious.

We have a white lawmaker in Tennessee who tries to get into a "Black Caucus" there. First, he's not black, but whatever his intention, the fact the blacks in the club wouldn't let him in, then labeled him a "white supremacist" is typical bullshit. This at the same time we see congressman (small c) Elijah Cummings trot out the "Congressional Black Caucus" in order to start the smoke generator called the "race card," in an effort to screen any blame for the jacked-up situation in New Orleans away from the black Mayor. Where's the Congressional "White Caucus," the Congressional "bHispanic Caucus," the Congressional "Native American Caucus?" That's f'ing weak.

Then we have Charlie Rangel, another black congressman, come out and say Bush is the modern day version of Bull Connor. That's f'ing weak too. When Bill O'Reilly asked him about it, and told him the statistics show the current administration is helping combat poverty more than the last, Mr. Rangel replied "they used to lynch us in the South." I think I hear the Coo-coo bird...

What disturbs me even more is the PC atmosphere in our country, blatantly demonstrated by everyone's lack of outrage over what Mr. Rangel said. People are so concerned with not offending someone that they allow transgressions like these. When a liberal says some bullshit like this, all the other spineless liberals and the liberal media stay in their holes. What about the 30+ years of black mayors in New Orleans? No one wants to admit their failure through the years, do they? Well guess what...the same failure is happening in Atlanta.

Mr. Rangel actually blamed President Bush for 28% of the black people in New Orleans living in poverty. Thirty years of black leadership in New Orleans and in 2005 the poverty situation there, according to Mr. Rangel, is President Bush's fault. What's worse? No one waved the bullshit flag! Can you believe we have these idiots running our country? They should all be fired for being stupid and wasting our time and money.

Mr. Rangel is a racist jerkoff.

There, I spoke the truth...

It's official...we're all crazy!

In the news today...

Brown Blames "dysfunctional" Louisiana. Well' no shit! first, they're all democrats. Next, they're politicians, not wanting to look bad, and placing that before any thought of the welfare of the people there. Brown shouldn't have waited for answers after asking them things. Hell no. He should have walked straight up to the both of them and bitch-slapped a hand-print on the side of both their noggins...

Deputy Leader of Al Qaida in Iraq killed. Well, with an average of 250,000 rounds expended for every insurgent killed, don't you think one bullet would finally hit him? Sneaky bastard. Use the MAOAB fellas...use the MOAB... You could have lured him out of hiding with a dozen cheerleaders and a snow-cone maker months ago. You know it didn't take so long because he was in the shower! Problem is, most of these assholes prefer the company of other dudes, which is wrong...creepy...and wrong.

Small, rural towns hit hardest by Rita. This is too stupid to even make fun of...

French Police Foil Paris Metro Terror Plot. When I stop laughing I'll comment!

Iran Threatens to Resume Uranium Enrichment. Right! Like they ever stopped. Can they spell M-O-A-B?

Bush asks Americans to conserve energy, limit driving. ...Bush! Can you believe he did that? I want to scream out "Oh...my...God!!!" Talk about the pot and the fucking kettle! Bush! The same guy that watched the car companies sell the "mammoth car" from Speed Racer as a family vehicle and lets gas prices almost TRIPLE!!! The same guy that used to own an OIL COMPANY! The same guy with an oil company executive for a VICE PRESIDENT! Hey Sir, do you know how much that freakin 747 burns up every minute? Besides that, we're in one oil country that we saved from being wiped off the face of the earth...and buying our fuel to operate here, while we're in another one buying THEM their fuel! Arrrgh!!! Flabbergasting AND Dumbfounding!!! Now I hear kids are being told to miss school in Georgia so the state can save gas. That's pretty friggin stupid...

Consumer Confidence Drops To A 15-Year low. Ya'think? Duhhh. I wonder why? A hysterically expensive war; the biggest natural disaster one-two punch in history; continuing terroism; a trade deficit that would choke a donkey; our government bickering and back biting each other like 16 year-old cheerleaders while the rest run around like cats with their asses on fire, or just stand there like deer in the headlights! Through all this, the President is taking the blame for everything. Pretty soon, he'll have to answer-up for Jimmy Hoffa, the Mars Rover, and Pepsi Clear! Whoever convinced him to take the wrap for the disaster response needs an ass-kicking. Somebody stop me...

...and the clincher...

Trump, Knauss expecting first child together. Exclamation points all around!!! Holy smokes, Captain Combover got his wife pregnant! A man with a wife 20 years younger than him and we're actually surprised about that? I'd be surprised (and saddened) if he didn't get her pregnant!!! Donald Trump is the man...
