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.
