9/11

In remembrance to the lives lost on 9/11 and the War On Terror. May God Bless America.

Do You Speak German?

If you have read any of my earlier posts, you may know that I spoke of my lack of affection for the French. I am here to remind everyone that I would truly enjoy watching that country implode. Recently, Frog Olympic swimmer stated that 'We are going to smash the Americans that is what we can here for'. There is only one thing I would like to ask every Frog, 'Do you speak German?' and if the reply is no then the only reasonable response is 'Your Welcome!' Those thankless, smelly scumbags should be forever thankful for everything that the US has done. Maybe we expect too much for our assistance or should have just let the Germans conquer them. Back to the Olympics. The US swim team is favored to win several medals and I look to see the Frogs simply drown. Wasn't the biggest part of the games is sportsmanship and admiration for the greatest athlete in a particular event? According to the Frogs it is about superior attitudes, something that they seem to have nailed down to a science. The arrogance they show is unparalleled. Let's just wait and see the end of the games and see who had more gold, silver, and bronze medals, my money is on the US.

Reading, Writing, Watching TV

Like most others I do enjoy my share of TV. My most serious addictions to the small screen can usually be found on Discovery Channel. From Deadliest Catch to Myth busters, I watch them all with equal interest. Survivor Man and Man vs Wild have often caught my attention for the simple fact that these guys will eat and drink practically anything. I can understand the occasional cricket and meal worm, but I have to say that it is best not to eat 2 hours prior or 2 hours after those shows. If you don't lose your appetite you will at least lose your lunch. Myth busters is all together just a great show not to mention a great way to help explain some science theory to younger people as well as remind those of us who have been out of school for a few years the reason why we should have paid attention in chemistry the first time around. That topped with Kari Byron (why didn't my science teacher look like her) you can't go wrong. I do also have serious affection for Food Network and History Channel as well. If you would have told me 15 years ago I would be watching TV shows about science, survival, cooking and the odd job fascination, I could have promised you that it would be my father rather than me. Lo and behold, here I am in the same mental fascination as my own father. I remember growing up watching shows like In Search Of (which still kind of creeps me out when I see reruns) or National Geographic. My father had the uncanny sense to be able to read a book while keeping in perfect pace with whatever TV show was on. I never questioned him as to how he did it, I just blindly accepted his ability to multitask. Then a few weeks ago, I was sitting at the computer reading articles from Drudge and watching (actually listening) Discovery Channel at the same time. My 9 year old daughter asks me if she can change the TV to watch Hanna Montana on Disney and I begin to tell her no because I'm watching whatever guilty pleasure is currently on. Then my mind races back to the days when I was her age and seeing my father do the same thing. I thought I would try to pass off to her that I was watching TV and she would reject the idea as impossible, but I was wrong. Her only answer was, I guess you can do both with ears that big sitting that close to the computer screen.

Oh No Bama!

I would like to make the official announcement that I am starting an anti-Obama crusade. It should be noted that while I have no idea as of current writing what the outcome of the election will be however, since the liberals across the country have done that for the last 2 general election cycles, I figure it is time that a conservative does likewise. The support that the liberal media shows Obama is almost Messianic. Here we have the idea of 'Change' but that is about all I have heard. Well I take that back, Obama has stated that he would be open to dialogue with Iran. In other words, negotiate with known terror harbouring officials. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea Obama you sell out. Also the immediate withdrawal from Iraq. Well why hasn't anyone complained about the length of time we have spent in Japan, Germany and Korea? I don't see the libs complaining that we are still there. WWII has been long over yet we still have a significant presence, and I repeat SIGNIFICANT presence in those countries as well as having strong ties with the Korea. So I guess the democrats only like liberating non-oil rich countries. The way I see it, we did rid the world of a tyrannical dictator who, much like others evil dictators in history had been known for genocide. And by the way they got a lot of oil. I want cheap gas and if anyone else out there tells the truth, they do too. So here you go Obama, you have been given notice that one, You will be protested at regular intervals, and two, unless you can deliver cheap gas, keep your mouth shut when it comes to foreign affairs and negotiating with terrorists.

Ohio's Fat Bastard

So Ohio has an inmate on death row who claims he is too fat to be executed. Richard 'Fat expletive Bastard' Cooey was sentenced to death for the 1986 rape and murder of 2 young women. Now his 5'7" frame is 267 pounds and he takes some headache medication that may keep his body from proper sedating him just prior to having his heart and lungs stop. My only question is who really cares? This jackass killed two young women and for some unknown reason you have Ohio attorneys assigned to his case trying to make pleas for him because he is overweight. Here is the answer and the cure to the problem. Restrict his diet to less than 1000 calories per day for 30 days and then stick the needle in the arm. It would really be a sight if Ohio authorized hangings as a way of execution, then his head would pop like a zit. Now that is what I would call Must See TV.

Guess What? Obama Is Black

Well the McCain campaign did an evil thing. They used a campaign ad that compares Hussein Obama to celebrity status rather than a serious politician. The ad showed images of Brittney Spears and Paris Hilton and then shows Obama. Obama did this to himself. He went on a 'World Tour' to other countries much like the celebrities would if they were going to a foreign film festival. Last time I checked he was running for the President of The UNITED STATES, not the United Nations. This just might be the segue way he was looking for. Since the media has deemed him the saviour of the USA, or maybe he is just he anti-Christ. So here we have the liberal media and liberal commentators condemning McCain for his commercial. 'How dare he compare Obama to those blond bimbos'. I just finished watching Michael Brown and Catherine Crier on separate news programs railing against anyone who would dare criticize Obama and if they do they must be playing the race card. Oddly enough, it has been Obama who continues to remind us that he is a black man. Rally after rally, it comes into the conversation that he is black. Let's take a look at the paper thin resume and compare his accomplishments. Who cares if he is black, orange, red, green or pink. As long as he plays the race card and if the election goes against him, then McCain and everyone who voted for McCain is automatically a racist. Obama is hoping that 'White Guilt' will come over th e voting public. So even though McCain runs an ad that is comparing Obama celebrity status, that is ruled as evil, Obama plays his race card, and that is admirable. McCain should have just said that Obama was black and famous, and maybe that would have been OK.

Never Again Volunteer Yourself, Well Not Exactly

Completed another day and I have started planning for Alex's' visit (my oldest) this November for his sixteenth birthday. The cost of flying isn't cheap and it is only getting more expensive. The recent events in the Middle East have only kept the cost rising with no real relief in sight. I have decided to re-enlist in the Navy Reserve just for the little bit of extra income that I can receive, but also for the increased amount in retirement that I would qualify for. I know the risks for this decision, however at a time when I am in need of making ends meet better than it has, it is a must. I haven't been able to win the lottery, but you have to play much more than I have in the past to increase the odds of winning. With the large cash flow of a winning ticket, I could easily afford for a private jet to fly him over, no lay overs, nothing to really worry about. Its been a few years since he has been able to come over, and what better way to celebrate a milestone birthday than to go to another country (he currently lives in the UK). I would be more than over joyed if he would just come over and stay, but I have to be realistic about it all. It would be a fairly big culture shock for him not to mention that he would have to make several adjustments to life in the US. He could do it without any problem, but it is ultimately up to him. I know that I miss him tons, as do his younger siblings and his grandparents. With fingers crossed maybe he just might decide that life in the US is better than what the news makes it out to be.

You have to be kidding!

So have you seen this? A Florida mother is in jail, her daughter went missing for 30 days before she decided that she needed to contact law enforcement. Now every news ticker and TV news program is playing the jailhouse recordings of phone conversations this woman is having. If my child is outside playing with friends around the neighborhood, they HAVE to check in about every 15 minutes or so. If I don't hear from them then I usually go to look for them. I have no idea how anyone with all of their faculties in tact could allow their child to be gone for 30 days without filing a report with law enforcement. Another example of why some people should never be allowed to reproduce at all. My thoughts and prayers go out the the rest of the family, and my sincere wishes that the mother in question is held accountable to the highest standard.

Keith who?

Check out my good friend Johnny Dollar at www.olbermannwatch.com. There you will get the inside scoop on the rants of Keith Blowsman and the rest of his mindless liberal drones.

Spongemonkeys

Remember the Quiznos commericals with the 'Spongemonkeys'? You know those little hamster looking creatures with human mouths singing 'We love the subs' and 'they got a pepper bar'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZrks-BPeLQ I came across it by mistake and laughed out loud as I did the first time I watched it. From time to time there are those commericals that really do their job, keep your attention long enough to sell a product or service. How do these advertising folks create something that can be so captivating. I mean, I know not everyone thought those little creaures were funny, but just how did they even come up in a brainstorming meeting. I admire those who have the imagination to create something so off the wall. I also found another one that I really enjoyed for a few years back by VW. http://www.cryptomundo.com/bigfoot-report/coelacanth-vw/ Check it out and you may remember it as well. Now I am Googling old commercials that I remember for some reason or another. I almost wish that I could just sit in front of the PC and do nothing but search out the pop culture from years ago, but if I did that I'd have been hired by VH1 and one of their quirky shows shows dedicated to that sort of fomat.

Has It Really Been 20 Years?

It has been 20 years since I had the privilege to exit the high school graduation stage and enter upon another journey that would take me to some very unique and interesting places. I have had the fortune to live overseas in some great places, Bahrain, The U.K., Greece, Italy and I enjoyed them all to varying degrees of interest. I have seen the Pyramids at Giza, Safaried through the Suez Canal, walked through the gates of the Parthenon, stood in awe at the Temple of Knossos, spit on the Eiffel Tower (I don't care much for the French) and reverently walked the path to Golgotha. Not too bad to see that all before the age of 25. I can't much complain about my life other than it seems to be going by way too fast. I figured that life after high school there would be college, but my grades didn't afford me scholarships. So other than work in jobs that I just wasn't suited for, I joined the Navy and saw the world. I lived and saw a lifetimes worth of, well living I suppose, during my 6 years of active duty service. Now I look back in somewhat of a nostalgic fascination and wonder about the rest of my graduating class from 20 years ago. Recently I took the leap into the digital realm to search for some of those people in hopes to see what they have been into since our glory days. I actually have only spoken to 1 from back in the day and he was able to fill me in about alot. Many are still living in the same local area, an then there are a few, like myself, who have moved away from the place I called home. Hopefully I will be able to reconnect with some more and find out all about their life the last 20 years. Thinking back, I was voted most versatile and I always thought that was such a lame title, but looking back and recalling the events that have shaped my life, it really isn't such a bad title after all. It is much better than having the most likely to succeed title and not being able to live up to that expectation.

SF Mayor Harbored Illegal Alien Who Kills Three

SF Mayor Gavin Newsome and his sanctuary city has enabled illegal aliens to stay without fear in San Francisco, and now an illegal has killed 3 Americans. Why is it that such a liberal city whose has respect for all persons can allow this type of criminal activity to take place? Easy answered. They despise the government and if it were up to them they would separate themselves from our evil government policies and ideology. Would Mayor Newsome be so quick to avoid the issue if it were 3 persons of diverse gender orientation that were so horribly killed? I doubt it very seriously. Mr. Newsome must show that the actions of his city, as being a sanctuary city, are no longer acceptable and that U.S. citizens lives and safety are far more important than welcoming with open arms thugs and common villains from across the border. Resign your post Mr. Newsome.

Real World Cast Member 4 Congress? Somebody Help!

Recently (today) I was reading another political article and I happened to notice that one of the 7 orginal cast members of the Real World on MTV is running for a Congressional seat representing Brooklyn. Remember the angry young man Kevin Powell? The guy who ignorantly stated that Black Americans can't be racist? Yep, the same one indeed. I sure hope that Mr. Powell has changed his opinion on who owns racism and who doesn't. I actually remember that particular episode and the thought of it still burns me up. Mr. Powell has been a contributing editor as well as commentator on various other programs in the following years and I have often wondered if anyone has called him out on the carpet for his 'Real World' statements. Also mentioned in the article was Mr. Powells' experience and guess what....'I have been a community organizer for 24 years'. Well now isn't that just the kind of qualifications I would proudly present to the voters. Wait a minute....that is also a qualification that Barack Hussein Obama uses, that and his paper thin resume with the continuing theme of 'Change'. Mr. Powell should be rather cautious to use community organizing as a qualification for political office, even if Mr. Obama is inclined to initiate the same. The Real World was, when it started, the most original TV show out there and Mr. Powell was able to be a part of the inaugural series. If Mr. Powell is truly serious about his candidacy run for congress, he should be banking on original ideas and qualifications.

Magical Obama Tour

Ok so now we have B. Hussein Obama taking a tour of Iraq. WOW! The man who voted against the surge is now quite honestly seeing some of the benefits of it. America cannot afford to have a president who continuously talks about change, but gives no definitive answer as to what the change is. It is a given that he is going to raise taxes on Americans who actually work, instead of those who sit with their hands out waiting for the redistribution of wealth. Mr. Obama is going from town to town coast to coast with the same motto...'Change'. Listen up Mr. Obama, give me something more than rhetoric, give me your plan and ideas for the country. For that matter, I could be running for President, all I have to say is "Change' and the crowd goes wild. I have not been over enthused by President Bush either and there are several key issues that I would 'change' about some of his policies as well, but if your running for the President of the United States you have got to have something more substantial than to just say 'Change', you have to be willing to put your ideas on the line and allow the people to decide. The Magical Obama Tour has got to at least give the crowd something, at the very least a good laser light show and maybe, just maybe that one guy in the audience who screams 'Freebird, play Freebird'.

Cop Killer Mumia

Why is it in American society, a person can kill a cop and the sentence not carried out? Oh yes, that's right, because you have Hollywood actors demanding that he be released on some misguided facts that have no bearing on the case or the aspects of the case. God Bless Officer Faulker's widow and family for having to endure the pain of justice not being carried out, only to be on hold to satisfy the selfish theories and attention grabbing acting has beens (Ed Asner and that M.A.S.H. guy).

Keith Olbermann Equals Dumb ass

For the past few weeks I have had somewhat of a train wreck fascination with Keith Olbermann. Not that I agree with anything that he says or believes, but simply because, much like a train wreck, you have to look at the carnage and destruction, and I see Keith doing much of the same thing. Night after night viewers are brainwashed into thinking that he has any true media talent when usually we hear the same liberal left wing wacko rhetoric published on every other media outlet, but it's only regurgitated by dumb ass who thinks he is Ed Murrow reincarnated. Give it a rest Keith, your not that interesting, and if you were indeed a true journalist with any integrity, you would at least have the balls to have someone with opposing views on your show and discuss the topics at hand. Your cowardice to confront someone sitting in front of you is as transparent as the jello in your head. You wouldn't be able to bully your way through, you might just have to interact with someone that may be smarter than your writers and your anti conservative beliefs. So there you go. Keith Olbermann, the WORST person on TV, or how about the least talented commentator on TV.
