In Iraq:
FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) –Last night American warplanes flattened Falluja's most popular restaurant, killing two security guards, in what the military said was a "precision strike" aimed at its top enemy in Iraq. So, no more late night falafel take-out for the Holy Warriors. And isn’t part of a precision strike, hitting the target ie: our top enemy in Iraq, not the security guards, (man, being a security guard in Iraq is about like being one of the security guys on Star Trek, short life span, dig it?).
I don’t know about you, but I for one am about ready to dust off all that energy research stuff they were talking about in the 70’s when I was a kid, you know the 500 miles to a gallon car, solar cells for your house etc… I would love for us to produce all of our own energy needs.
Let those fundamentalists in the Middle East; go back to herding goats and living in camel skin tents. Sure would be better than some kids mom getting handed a folded flag. Now don’t get me wrong, I did my time in boots, and am by no means a pacifist, ask anyone, but god-damn, lets kick the right fuckers ass and do it for the right reasons, and just be done with it. But, then we would still have to come up with something to do with the home-grown fundamentalists.
God-damn but I love Texas Politics:
DALLAS - The gloves have come off in the tight election race between two Texas congressmen — and every other article of clothing appears to be fair game as well. Democrats on Monday circulated old newspaper clippings of a 1974 college streaking stunt staged by hundreds of students — including then-18-year-old Pete Sessions — at Southwest Texas State University.
The conservative Republican congressman — who wrote a column condemning Janet Jackson's nude display during her 2004 Super Bowl halftime performance — apparently bared his bottom with about 300 others in a stunt that ended with arrests and a clash with police. Newspapers were filled with nude photos and headlines like: "Dudes, Broads, Bare Bods." Southwest Texas students were apparently trying to break a streaking record set by another university amid a nationwide college streaking craze.
The campaign of Democrat Rep. Martin Frost (news, bio, voting record) is holding his rival's bare body to the fire. "Pete Sessions exposed himself to children and strangers," said Frost spokesman Justin Kitsch. "He's exposed himself as a hypocrite as well."
I really can’t add to that other than to say: Don’t you love when these right-wing fucks get caught up in their own shit?
You know, on the subject of politics and fuckers, VP Steal/Steel Dick said last week that he had not ever met lil’ John before, as proof that his voting record sucks (and if your wondering, it does, but, hell he’s my boy, so I will live with it) well anyway a hour after that aired, the Edwards folks put out no less than four pictures of John-Boy with old Steal Dick. Take that you prick!
Health Beat:
MIAMI (Reuters) - Police in Belize have arrested a Florida fugitive described by detectives as a fake doctor who drugged his cosmetic surgery patients with an animal anesthetic and left a male bodybuilder with female breast implants.
Reinaldo Silvestre, 63, was arrested in Belize City, where he was teaching and practicing medicine, the State Department said on Friday.
Here is a clue, don’t ever get cosmetic surgery from a doctor who doubles coupons.
And on an aside, last night at the bar, we got on the discussion of coupons. As you know I am a famous cost cutter, and a well regarded tight ass. But here is one thing that really pisses me off. It’s called a fucking coupon you dumb-asses, its not a q-pon, come on sound it out with me: c-o-u-p-o-n, try it.
Why I am poor:
WASHINGTON (AFP) - More than a quarter of US working families -- or nearly 39 million people -- have trouble making ends meet and can be qualified as poor due to a fast shrinking pool of well-paying jobs, according to a new report. To be considered low-income by government standards, a family of four had to earn less than 36,784 dollars in 2002. The median income for a family that size was 62,732 dollars that year. Contrary to popular perception, most poor working families, or 53 percent, are now headed by a married couple. Such families included 20 million children under the age on 18, six million of whom lived officially below the poverty line, according to the study. Economists blame the plight of the working poor on a steady decline in relatively high-paying industrial jobs that require relatively little education.
You know, I have always been proud of my hands, (I use Dawn, it keeps my hands looking moist and fresh) There are not any calluses on them, nope not a one, I even wear gloves when I prune my award winning Paw Paw brushes.
The reason you ask? Well dear friends it is because I have the hands of skilled labor, yep… college education at its finest. No sweat, no sore back, no union dues, and boy oh boy hasn’t it paid off for me. Not even! Wow, You know I wish I had an America to go to, like my friend Juan, you know someplace where I could make 100,000 a year to flip-burgers, and the beautiful and stunning Mrs. John Q. Public could change the sheets at a cheap motel along the interstate for 80,000. Think of the bank we could be sending back home to Indiana. Man, we could feed a village, if not a small trailer park. …I can dream can't I?
Music News:
NEW YORK - Michael Jackson (news) is reportedly angered by the way he is portrayed in rapper Eminem (news - web sites)'s recently released video "Just Lose It."
The pop singer is said to be so upset that he has asked networks to remove the video from their rotations. "Michael Jackson is very angry. He feels that Eminem has crossed the line," Jackson representative Ramone Bain told the Daily News in Tuesday editions. "Michael is calling on all networks to pull the video." In the video, Eminem appears dressed mockingly as Jackson with a group of boys in the background, jumping. Then he sings the lyric in reference to Jackson's child molestation allegations: "Come here little kiddie, on my lap. Guess who's back with a brand new rap..."
Fuck, I cant make this shit up. God-damn, he is upset that another dick-head no talent fuck is making a funny of his hobby of buggering young boys. Now if Michael (not Mike, as if that should of been our first clue he was a pillow-biter) likes getting the brown-eye tickle snake out and playing with it, its his own business as long as it is done with other adult members of the Rump-Rangers club, now when you go fucking kids, you have to expect some negative feedback from the public at large.
However on another point; when are they going to charge the parents of those little kids of child prostitution, come on, are you going to let your kids go on a over-nighter with a multimillionaire adult male part-albino pop star, those pieces of dog shit sold their kids as sex slaves in happy land, in hope of big cash settlements. What the fuck people.
...and in case you didnt notice, two members of the Jackson family were sited/ref. to in this posting, a new record. What do you bet I dont get a Christmas card again this year.
The High Moral Ground (I like the view from up here)
I stumbled on this a bit ago, and it made me stop and think, he is say'en a few things here isnt he?
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
John Stuart MillEnglish economist & philosopher (1806 - 1873)
ok, lets balance it out a bit....
Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.
Blaise PascalFrench mathematician, physicist (1623 - 1662)
...when is the last time you got a chance to quote Pascal and Mill in the same post, life is so cool
Thats all kids, nite nite and dont forget to brush your teeth! (tooth if your from KY or WV)
