My harrowing time in Jail and how it helps me compare O.J. with Obama.
Category: News and Politics



It's a weird feeling when you are reminded of a time when you were a pretty big dumbass. I know, you think I'm referring to O.J. Simpson up there.

Nope. I'm talking about myself.

See, O.J. here was just pronounced GUILTY in an Armed Robbery charge exactly (astoundingly) thirteen years to the day he got his NOT GUILTY verdict on October 3rd, 1995.

No one had to remind me of the exact date, cause I know where I was when that happened.


That's right folks, yours truly was in Jail:


 
That's right. Drink it in. My hardcore, Gangsta' MUG SHOT. Notice the date above my name there. October 2nd, 2005.

See, back then, I was really "Street" as the young kids are calling it. So street that you may unsubscribe from my blog when you read about my heinous crime.

I was nineteen years old, and had just purchased a car for cash. It was a piece of crap but I was excited to get it. Before I secured insurance on it, I took it out for a drive, and was pulled over for having a dead headlight. Officer gave me a ticket for no insurance and for the bum light. Months went by, and me, a lowly waiter at the time with no sense of "Warrants from unpaid tickets" did not realize that Joe Law would catch up to me.

     I was pulled over heading to the gas station for cigarettes and was told that I had a warrant for my arrest. When the officer explained to me that "tickets don't go away." I tried to give him my "Thug look" which consisted of me pleading to not go to jail due to my delicate features and aversion to ass rape.
 
    All I got was a disgusted look, a kleenex, and mercifully loose handcuffs as they hauled me in. Luckily, the only people there were also picked up for random License plate checks and had similar warrants. I put my ass up against the nearest wall and actually could not stop laughing at the absurdity of it all.

    I got put on some program, due to being a first time offender with no record ( I know, a 19 year old Hispanic in a Dallas/ Ft. Worth suburb... the judge looked at me like I was Unicorn just like you are right now....) and I didn't have to be mixed in with the general population, with the violent criminals.

    I had no money to pay to get out, so sitting the next few days out while I was off from work anyway, turned out to be a surreal vacation of sorts. I got the pre-requisite orange jumpsuit, (It brought out my eyes.) flip flops and blanket that you could tear like a napkin.

   I woke up in the morning, and there in my expanded cell, watching on a Quasar Color T.V. chained to the wall, saw the verdict live announcing O.J.'s freedom.

I still remember what I said, quite loudly:


"Ain't THIS some shit!?"

I tossed my breakfast, a moldy Otis Spunkmeyer muffin into the corner of my little room, in what I'm sure would of been viewed as a violent act of protest.... were anyone in there with me, that is.

Having served my time avoiding getting traded for cigarettes or as my High School counselor once put it, "shivved like a little bitch", I got out at 1 in the morning on October 4th. I came out hardened, tougher if you will..... ready to stop taking cream and equal in my coffee, but drinking it black. (unless they have that Carnation Hazel Nut creamer, or dear god it is to DIE for!)



But here's something else the O.J. thing made me think of that relates to current events. Remember how easily it was to distinct the race relations in America during that time? Or even how more identifiable it was when he was pronounced Not Guilty? All over the world, you saw bars and restaurants, airports showing crowd reactions. Black Americans? Cheering. Whitey? Stone faced, but careful not to show the Black Americans how upset they were.

Sure, we all know, ALL KNOW he was Guilty. That's where a lot of the outrage was, but we know that there was a lot of people who feel that he got off just cause he was O.J. or just cause he had the best attorneys at the time, or just cause he was black.

There was a recent Poll that showed that Barack Obama's standing with Hillary Clinton supporters was still at the same percentage it was in June, showing an amazing lack of progress as hoped.

Leslye Burgess, a 53 year old woman from Virginia said:


"It's just a gut feeling, my gut tells me he's not it."

Please. A 53 year old woman from Virginia. You know and I know when this guy shows up on TV:




This is the guy they see instead...




Hey, in all fairness,

Whenever certain Black Americans see this person on TV:





All they can make out is THIS:




There is a division of race in this Country, unlike any I have ever seen.
Sure, Obama has a nice 8 point lead right now in the polls, but do you ever think it would be much, MUCH higher if he was WHITE? Maybe I'm bringing up a  taboo topic, maybe making some of you uncomfortable...

 But why does it take a major event like a Celebrity involved in a spectacularly grisly murder case, or the race for the White House for us to get this topic and barrier to our better nature on the table?

      Maybe someday I'll go to jail again and have that kind of time to think about it.

’Can I call you Joe?’ ’Sure! Cause later on I will call you SERVED.’
Category: News and Politics



     So it's finally done with. No, I wasn't expecting the MOOSE IN THE HEADLIGHTS look from her. She's played the game before. She's been in debates prior to this and somehow convinced Alaska to vote for her as Governor at one point in time.

To tell the truth, I was concentrating more on Biden not taking the bait and being.... well, lets face it Joe, a bit long winded at times.

But happily, Biden kept it crisp and on point and provided nothing for the GOP'S 'Joe Biden Gaffe meter.'

I still wish he had gone with my idea of showing up in a dinosaur costume...




You think that would of been a perfect way to rattle her without saying a word?

You Betcha'!

What the hell was with that thick layer of "down home, pandering to the regular folk" vocabulary, anyway?

She busted out the "You Betcha" the "Joe Six-pack" and "Doggone it's" and even found a way to work in more than one "Darn right!" For God sakes, she even winked at the camera.

    I was for her put on some oven mitts as she pulled fresh baked cookies out from an oven she had installed in her podium at any second.


   No folks, she didn't bare her ignorance at this showing, but was able to throw out a painfully obvious rehearsed speech. (Go back and watch it, you'll notice just how badly she was reciting stuff from memory.) All she basically had to do was show up and she would of scored higher than expected marks on the board.

    I'm actually surprised Gwen Ifill didn't press Palin for more details when she gave her lovely non answers during the debate.



    I thought it was hysterical when she attacked Obama's voting record, throwing out an absurd and inflated figure of 95 votes to increase taxes. Biden hit back by reminding Palin that McCain voted the same way Obama did and took her to task for not answering Ifill's question about Deregulation.  Instead of responding to his jab about how McCain supported Deregulation across the board, what did she say? Well, she said :

"I may not answer the questions that either the moderator or you want to hear, but I'm going to talk straight to the American people and let them know my track record also."

The sheer audacity to directly say she was going to stick to her rehearsed prepared talking points, debate format be damned, was pretty telling.

   It was also pretty stunning when Biden said he suspected that McCain supports giving bankruptcy judges the power to re-adjust the interest rate and principal of mortgages to help people stay in their homes.

Palin simply said,


"That is not so, but because that's just a quick answer, I want to talk about, again, my record on energy versus your ticket's energy ticket, also...."

    She just straight up ignored the topic the moderator presented so she could talk about the only thing she crammed for: Energy. Even better, The McCain campaign came out this morning and admitted that Palin got THE MAVERICK's stance all wrong.

    I wanted to kiss Joe Biden for finally unleashing just enough of his frustration to completely bash Palin on the repeated use of MAVERICK to describe McCain...

"Look, the maverick -- let's talk about the maverick John McCain is. And, again, I love him. He's been a maverick on some issues, but he has been no maverick on the things that matter to people's lives.

He voted four out of five times for George Bush's budget, which put us a half a trillion dollars in debt this year and over $3 trillion in debt since he's got there.

He has not been a maverick in providing health care for people. He has voted against -- he voted including another 3.6 million children in coverage of the existing health care plan, when he voted in the United States Senate.

He's not been a maverick when it comes to education. He has not supported tax cuts and significant changes for people being able to send their kids to college.

He's not been a maverick on the war. He's not been a maverick on virtually anything that genuinely affects the things that people really talk about around their kitchen table.

Can we send -- can we get Mom's MRI? Can we send Mary back to school next semester? We can't -- we can't make it. How are we going to heat the -- heat the house this winter?

He voted against even providing for what they call LIHEAP, for assistance to people, with oil prices going through the roof in the winter.

So maverick he is not on the important, critical issues that affect people at that kitchen table."
  
   Palin was left coming across as competent to a degree under pressure, but most polls show that this debate was no game changer.

    The news of McCain pulling out of Michigan and conceding it early to Obama is a sign of where the tide is going, people.  (Know how Palin found out about the WHITE FLAG OF SURRENDER of Michigan? Through the morning paper..
>;0p )


    Hell, Even Palin seemed to acknowledge this in my FAVORITE Freudian slip of the night. When talking about the other Republican presidential hopefuls supporting McCain, she said that they...


  "...(Recognize) he is the man that we need to LEAVE -- Lead in these next four years.."

Well, doggone it, if that ain't
telling, I'm not sure what is.

The New York Project is complete.....
Category: News and Politics

I know... most of you were hoping for some Pre-comments about tonight's debate.

 
Here we find a member of the McCain campaign installing a trapdoor under Senator Biden's podium.

But something has me more excited.

     As some of you already know, my recent trip to New York also gave me an opportunity to do a writing project for Shetler Studios. They wanted to promote Michael Buckley's new play NEMESIS in an original way. They wanted to release teaser videos on YouTube to help build buzz about the show. These were original shorts that showcased the comedy in Buckley's hysterical story of two friends rise and plateau as struggling actors in NYC.

    My friend Matt, asked me to take a crack at conceiving and writing some of the teasers, all of them less than five minutes. I met with Matt and Chad Brinkley at the Studios for a productive meeting and the baby from this conception...* ahem * can be found below...


here are two are them,

Here's the one I helped write...


  ..

    As you can tell, the show starts TOMORROW folks! I hope you take the time to go see this funny, inside look at the Actor's struggle if you're anywhere in the city during these dates. I am indebted to Matt, Chad and Michael for making me a part of something exciting.

There’s no easy way to break this... John McCain won that debate.
Category: News and Politics

Sorry to tell you folks, But McCain won the debate.




     See? It says so right there in an advertisement next to a Wall Street Journal article on.... wait? On Friday? at 10:16AM? A little less than an hour before McCain "blinked" and decided to show up to the debate? TEN hours before the debate even started?

Well, hell! If Mr. Straight Talk has the ability to travel to the future to bring back good news on himself, then all he has to do is dump Palin and put this guy on the ticket instead:




     Look, in all fairness, I think the debate was a bit underwhelming for either candidate unless you're part of the  undecided (attention whores!) voter bloc.

But that's where it's MOST important.

According the polls, after watching the debate, over forty percent of undecideds are now leaning to Obama as opposed to McCain who garnered 32 percent.

    Me? I love this stuff, but I'm already decided of course. In all fairness, I did make fun of both of them for the pandering they did with the bracelets. McCain mentioned a bracelet given to him by a Marine's mother who told him to not surrender this war, and I groaned. When Obama piped up saying he also had a bracelet, I cringed and expected him to say... "And John....mines much bigger."

    I think people criticized Obama a bit unfairly on not directly answering what he would cut due to the Bailout siphoning budget funds during his Presidency, cause no one even knows JUST how much the bailout would cost. $700 billion is the price tag slapped on it, but it could be whittled down.

     McCain jumped on the opportunity to say the only programs he would secure and fund, would be, OF COURSE, Defense. This gave Obama the chance to jump on McCain by saying that it most likely means he will be cutting education. I loved that moment, McCain clenched his teeth so tight I was waiting to hear the pop.

    Moreover, if anything... I breathed a sigh of relief that Obama has improved on his debate skills. Also, he's more prone to jump on McCain and go on the offense, something I think the McCain camp wasn't expecting.

"John, you like to pretend like the war started in 2007. You talk about the surge. The war started in 2003, and at the time when the war started, you said it was going to be quick and easy. You said we knew where the weapons of mass destruction were. You were wrong. You said that we were going to be greeted as liberators. You were wrong. You said that there was no history of violence between Shiite and Sunni. And you were wrong."

Or, to put it more bluntly to McCain...

"You got served!"

Seriously, all that McCain's camp had to go on when it came to an attack ad, was this moronic one right here:


..

As if millions of people didn't watch the same debate with the complete context. What a stretch.

     I also loved how Obama was clearly anticipating McCain throwing an old soundbite back in Obama's face. ("...Meeting other dictators and world leaders without preconditions") He trumped him with the fact that McCain's own advisor Henry Kissinger had also said he agreed meeting with Iran without Pre-conditions would be o.k.

     People didn't notice or talk about a STUNNING acknowledgement of McCain, who must of JUST seen Charlie Wilson's War. He decided to admit he was instrumental in abandoning Afghans which we all know helped breed the hatred of America leading to 9/11.


" First of all, I won't repeat the mistake that I regret enormously, and that is, after we were able to help the Afghan freedom fighters and drive the Russians out of Afghanistan, we basically washed our hands of the region.

And the result over time was the Taliban, al Qaeda, and a lot of the difficulties we are facing today. So we can't ignore those lessons of history."

 Wow.

That was a HUGE Republican NO-NO. Remember, it's supposed to be because they "Hate our way of life!" He just basically verbalized that part of his non involvement in helping rebuild Afghanistan was the reason 9/11 happened.

MAN! I wish someone would of jumped on that over at CNN or anywhere for crying out loud!


    I still think McCain tried to stall the debate, so he could effectively stall the VICE PRESIDENTIAL debate slated for next week. I think his campaign had no idea just how much of a crash course Sarah Palin needed, especially since McCain had to scramble recently to cover for what Palin said, which seems to support Obama's position in the debate on Pakistan...

She was asked if we should cross the Afghan- Pakistan border to stop terrorists. Her answer?

"If that's what we have to do stop the terrorists from coming any further in, absolutely, we should," Palin said.


 "Please... please just... shut your gob."        

     I can't wait until the Palin/Biden interview. The only problem is Biden LOVES to ramble on and on, which may neutralize the fact that he has WAY more experience and chops on , well... pretty much ANYTHING Palin brings to the table.

    I want to hear your thoughts on the debate, but remember the most "Important" thing of all about the candidates that evening.

Return of DICK.
Category: News and Politics


    I was reading the news today, (oh boy...) and was surprised to hear that Dick Cheney took time out of his busy day eating small children and kicking puppies to schmooze with the House Republicans today.

    He went into a closed door meeting to try to get them all behind the $700 Billion dollar Wall Street Bail out that U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson proposed.

    (Don't you love that our Administration wants to treat the Country the way you expect Rich, fat, white folks to do? Throw money at the problem until it goes away?)

   Anyway, not shockingly, Cheney walked out with the following result:



     They turned on him like Rosie O'donnell on a Golden Corral when they run out of hot rolls.

     I'm not surprised. Don't forget how "Meh!" He was in this short interview. You remember it, it's capper was Cheney's response to the majority of American's thoughts on the War in Iraq:

..

       I have always been fascinated by the sheer audacity of the man. Someone so heinous, he went NOWHERE near the Republican Convention.
      The following is a blog I wrote about him a little over a year ago, tell me what you think and if you can comment me with an example of a more evil public figure, I welcome it!

*****************************

From June 27, 2007

                        Bull Walrus

Scientific Name: Odobenus rosmarus, from the Latin for "tooth walking sea-horse." The walrus' most obvious attribute is its pair of long tusks, which are used in displays of aggression or dominance.Walruses will sometimes also feed on the carcasses of dead whales. They are very loud noisy animals and make a bellowing sound.

 

    Ladies and gentleman, meet Dick Cheney. Hardly in the history of America has a single person slackened our jaws in shock with the amount of arrogance, twisted logic, and downright evil nature as he has.

    About 3 weeks ago, I overheard in the breakroom at work this exchange:

    "Man, Bush is so stupid."

    "Yeah..."

    "Maybe we'll be lucky and he'll resign before '08."

    "Mmmhmm."

    "At least if we had Dick Cheney as President, things would be a lot better. He seems like a great guy."

(At this time your humble narrator spits out the coffee he was drinking at the time and laughs heartily trying to not make eye contact with the two uninformed yokels to his left.)

     Let me see if I can sum up Cheney for those similarly uninformed about our country's Vice President. Now, he served in the White House before, but let's start with when he was CEO of Halliburton from 1995 to 2000. Halliburton is a Dallas based company that sold 75 million bucks worth of oil equipment and services to Iraq while Cheney was in charge. It was something he lied to the media about cause he thought no one would notice it was done through subsidies.

      Halliburton also happens to be the company to get contracts in Iraq worth 1.7 Billion and a NO-BID contract worth billions more awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
     Due to this, Halliburton's shares shot up 50 PERCENT and made a 26 million dollar profit. Cheney's office claims he severed ties with Halliburton when he took the office as Veep. Well, I'm sure that means he's no longer a stock holder then, right? (FIFTY PERCENT in case you missed that above.) I'm sure he's no "war profiteer" cause that would be reprehensible, wouldn't it?


At least someone had the nerve to address this with Cheney.


Senator Patrick Leahy,

the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Commitee confronted Cheney on the Senate floor about Halliburton's sweetheart deal. Cheney's now infamous response to him? (all together now...)

"Go Fuck Yourself."

Damn. That my friends... is classy. I'm sure maybe he was just a bit grumpy that day. I mean... he's the VICE PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES. Surely he's able to show a little more posture and act in a dignified manner.

Never mind the fact that he was one of the first to get a hard on about attacking Iraq, even though he avoided the Vietnam draft with FIVE deferments. what gem of wisdom did he offer in explanation of that?

"I had other priorities in the Sixties other than military service."

     But forget about all that! Don't get bogged down in the details! You don't need to remember the pathetic scare tactics during the 2004 campaign re-election Cheney SPAT at the public. When he told voters that putting Kerry in the White House would surely result in another terrorist attack on American soil, I'm sure it was an informed statement.

      You see, Cheney seems to have the same philosophy that the Italian Mafia has. "If you won't go fuck yourself, we'll do it for you." Example? When Joseph Wilson, former U.S. Ambassador, went to Niger in 2002, it was to see if there was any truth to a Cheney supported rumor.
     Apparantly, it was believed that Iraq was trying to buy 500 tons of "Yellowcake Uranium" from Niger to make nuclear weapons. (Mmmm.. Yellow cake!) He found nothing and wrote an op ed piece for The New York Times accusing the Bush Administration of twisting intelligence to feed their weak argument for going to war.
     So suddenly, almost EXACTLY a week later... Robert Novak, prints a story that OUTS Joe Wilson's wife Valerie Plame as a covert CIA agent, which was CLASSIFIED INFO and endangered her life.


 

Where did this big reveal come from? All signs point to Cheney's office.

Straight up retaliation. The message?

Don't fuck with the Administration. But who takes the bullet?

 

Lewis "worst-nickname-in-the-world, Scooter" Libby.

    Not a big deal, everyone and their mother expects Bush to end up pardoning Scooter before he sees a sliver of cushy federal prison. Maybe a pocketfull of Halliburton stocks shoved in his suitcase for his trouble?

Back in May, while Secretary of State Condaleeza Rice was trying to push a diplomatic way of dealing with Iran's nuclear ambitions, Cheney makes a statement that warns Tehran that waashington would do what it has to to prevent Iran from developing Nuclear weapons. Wanna know where he said that?

 

From an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf RIGHToutside of Iran.

    I don't know about you, but if there's some guy outside my house with an armed mob behind him telling reporters that "We will do anything to prevent him from putting up Spanish shutters on his windows..." I DOUBT that I would take it he means through diplomatic talks. I can just see Rice when she heard the news about Dick's speech and had to go into spin mode... "Are you *@$@! kidding me?"

     Currently, Cheney's office has refused to submit any reports on how it handles classified info to the National Archives and Records Administration Oversight Office since 2002. Two letters that were sent to him requesting these reports have been ignored. They sent a letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez asking if he could advise if Cheney was violating an Executive order, but he has ignored it as well. Cheney did respond eventually... by trying to have the Oversight Office ABOLISHED.

Finally, when I thought I couldn't ever be surprised by anything Cheney said or did again...

(Anyone remember his quote about the environment? "Conservation may be a personal virtue, but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy." Sheesh.)

    Cheney's office has stated a few days ago that he is not obligated to submit to oversight by an office that safeguards classified info, as other members and parts of the Executive Branch are. Why? Cause by Cheney's logic, he doesn't have to comply because he serves as President of the Senate, meaning that his office is not an entity within the Executive Branch.

Ummm... what?

     Ooohh! It get's better! What does White House Spokesperson Dana Perino says? "This is a little bit of a non-issue because (Cheney) gets to decide whether or not he should be treated separately and he's decided THAT HE SHOULD."

    This is when smoke comes out of my ears and I re-read my newspaper until the newsprint blurs into a mess of illegible words. I guess it shouldn't be TOO surprising. Even a close friend of Cheney's, David Gribbin is quoted as saying...


"Dick Cheney learned early on to say NO to things that were peripheral to his primary interests or assignments."

     Not too long ago I read a TIME magazine article on Cheney. In it, they mentioned that his kids had a nickname for their father. You see, it was common for Dick to space out and tune everyone out that was talking in the room as it seemed to disinterest him. His kids would then wave their hands at him and say, "Hello? Bull Walrus? You with us?" Cheney would then snap out of it and join back in the conversation.

Bull Walrus.

   As in an animal lazing about perfectly content in his own little world.

    It's weird. Almost everytime you see a picture of Cheney, with that hunched over slouch, shoulders up, neck down pose.... he always has a sneer or frown on his face. Every picture of him "smiling" looks like it had to have been photo-shopped in order to make him look... human. Someday I think his guilt will consume him, but you have to have a heart for that to happen.     
   That is Perhaps the greatest Cheney conspiracy out there. The stories about his heart problems and blood clots? There hasn't been a heart or blood flowing in that man for a long time if ever.

EXCLUSIVE! Pictures of Jamie Lynn Spears Breastfeeding her baby! (UPDATED WITH BREAKING NEWS!)
Category: News and Politics



Seriously?

You should be ashamed.



    By now you've heard the news that 17 year old sister of Britney, Jamie Lynn Spears has had some photos stolen. Digital pictures of her breast feeding her "few years away from eating paint chips and supporting Republicans" child Maddie. Another blog should be devoted to why you don't bring your Memory card to WAL-MART to have your pictures developed when you're a celebrity, but until then... I bring this topic to you.

    Is it REALLY considered child pornography? Yes, she's only 17, but the argument can be made to what the content of the picture really is. Merely a mother breast feeding her child.

    Me? I think that anyone looking on the internet for this picture is only interested in one thing...


To Ogle an underage girls booyah bags.

It is also LONG understood that if you are trying to rock a mustache as the sole inhabitor of facial hair you have, you only come across looking like a Pedophile.

The sole exception? A man so manly, he can only be described as the epitome of Man:



Do I EVEN need to caption the name?

How about further proof:

Here's Eric McCormack from Will & Grace, trying to prove that in real life, he is not into men...



Sorry, Eric. The only thing I'm convinced of is that you have a pocket full of Jolly Ranchers and that you have a map of all the local Elementary Schools of your neighborhood in the glove box of your white van with no windows.

    Look, I know that it's a stretch, as Jamie Lynn is ALMOST of legal age, but c'mon folks. ALMOST isn't going to make that jail sentence any shorter. I know it's hard *Pun WAAAAYYYYY intended* but you have got to show some restraint.

     It would be naive to not acknowledge that these 14 to 17 year old mallrats you see aren't already coming into age and looking beautiful way beyond their acceptable ogling time. It doesn't mean you should succumb to the ways of the creepy.


But do you ever wonder if there's a double standard when it comes to guys?

Here's an example... there was a teacher in Tampa Florida, you may have heard of her. Ms. Debra Lafavre. She had an affair with her teenage student, a mere 14 year old. The first thing guys thought when they saw her pic?




"That lucky little SHIT!"

     I'm telling you, that was what most if not 99.9% of men had popping in their head when this story broke. It always makes me laugh when the story comes out that another student dimed on the torrid affair by telling the parents or police. Guaranteed that was nothing more than a jealous locker room pal.

To us men, this boy and boys like this are not described as "Victims." No... unfortunately, due to our envy, they go down as


"Legends."

    Further evidence can be surmised by the disappointing results of the "Countdown to when the Olson Twins turn 18" so unashamedly maintained by Men's magazines across the world:



Karma is a skinny, underfed bitch sometimes....

There has to be something nutty about anyone who has this kind of appetite, and I'm all for the whole castration without representation for anyone who finds an underage KID appealing sexually.

 I have a regular blog reader who recently had the nightmare of her young teenage daughter fall prey to an internet stalker. She posted the Douchebag's picture on her blog along with his name, info, and phone number so people can give him a ring and let him know what they think.

   She has since taken it down, maybe on advice of counsel... I don't know. But when would an S.O.B. like this have any kind of privacy rights?

You got my Peanut Butter in my Jelly! SO WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
Category: Food and Restaurants

    So the economy is crashing harder than ever, and I may be experiencing my first "bread line" soon, if McCain makes it to Inauguration Day...

But forget politics and world affairs for today.

There is a more pressing argument I need to make, NAY! A PLEA to the American people.



Stop acting like you don't just LOVE Peanut Butter with the Jelly already mixed up in that jar for you and shit.

     See, me... I got young 'uns And they are ALLS about the Peanut Butter and Jelly. But really, who isn't. (anyone who's not allergic that doesn't is just plain and simply a Communist and hates the concept of love.)

    I recently came back from grocery shopping with a jar of the Peanut Butter and jelly swirled in the jar, the epitome of convenience. The reaction from the wife?


"That's disgusting."

 
                        BEHOLD! The naysayer.

Surprisingly, a close friend was overheard calling this product disgusting as well. I took the topic to my co-workers and I was met with equal disdain for the wonderful goodness that is PB with the J.

My fellow Americans, what has happened to us that we become true elitists and raise our nose to a clear product of the American Dream? With our busy lives don't we owe it to ourselves to cut back on time when it comes to making a PB&J Sammich?

   Do we complain when we spread the 'nutter and Jelly on our sandwich slices individually? When we do that, we are wasting precious Fall T.V. watching time and cram it in our ever hungry mouths for it to join our churning stomachs in unity anyway.

This is AMERICA. We are the true representation of cutting corners and sacrificing quality in our busy lives.


   

   Disgusting? Where is this argument when we enjoy the rendered leftovers of animal carcass in a convenient tube called the HOT DOG? Do we dare call an American standby disgusting?

    It's Peanut Butter with the Jelly MIXED IN FOR YOU! Where is the argument? How many times has your day been ruined by a PB&J made up where the Jelly was spread too thin, or a mere slathering of Peanut Butter destroyed the important balance one needs in their sandwhich?

     I've been there. It's not fun, and I weep with you when it happens.

   We should all be throwing roses at the corporate headquarters for SMUCKERS with our meaty hands and celebrate with spoonfuls of the yummy High Fructose corn syrup, Fruit pectin, and sorbic acid (preservatives) in all it's 200 calorie per tiny serving GLORY.

    Remember, it is our freedoms that allow us to have our pets look like basketballs with furry limbs while other nations have scores of starving people....




We are privileged people...(Dammit, I told myself I wouldn't cry while writing this...)

We want it deep fried, dipped in extra butter and if you can smother it in cheese, then GOD BLESS you!

Now, if anyone wants to talk just plain laziness, then next week...we can debate the merit of having Peanut butter in slice square form:




Now that shit is just plain "disgusting."

Thank you my fellow citizens, bring back Crystal Pepsi, and Goodnight.

Yeah, that answer makes COMPLETE sense.
Category: News and Politics

So my wife brought a TIME magazine piece to my attention tonight...



    On the latest issue, Page 8 has a "10 QUESTIONS WITH BILL O'REILLY PIECE." Time asks readers to email questions so the entire interview with the subject is entirely from the public.

I would love to share with you now question number 8:


"Given your defense of Sarah Palin's judgement on Bristol Palin, do you take back what you said about Jamie Lynn Spear's pregnancy-that her parents were to blame?"

                                               - Emil Caillaux, Lima

O'Reilly: "When I talked about the Spears parents, I said the parents were pinheads because they didn't supervise their young daughters. I stand by that remark. There's no evidence that the Palins did not supervise their daughter or their other children."

Seriously? As my wife so delicately put it...

"So...what, did they supervise her f**ing her boyfriend?"


"Oh, Tahd..I jus don'no... Aigh think she should move ahround more dontcha think?"
  
Keep in mind. I've said it before and I'll say it again... I could care less she's got a teenage pregnant daughter. Regardless of the old argument that she is not paying enough attention to her family, I would rather stick to the point that her policies and record are Cuckoo for Cocoa puffs.

   The point of this blog is to further expand on the fact that when staunch supporters of the right are caught in hypocrisy, they have nothing to say except the most unbelievable, wonderfully stupid things.
It gets us giddy over here in the household.


If you were able to read this blog, congratulations! You are already smarter than Bill "disgrace to the Irish name" O'Reilly!

When McCain ruled the earth....and met Sarah. (VIDEO BLOG.)
Category: News and Politics

Recently, I posted a blog detailing how McCain came to his decision to pick Palin as his Running Mate.

Folks, it was long winded, goofy, and definitely not the way it went down.

I think I'm allowed a Mulligan on this one. A do-over is necessary.

The following video I made on a shoestring budget should ring closer to how it really went down. It's blessedly brief, so let me know if you think it's close enough...
(Special thanks to Industrial Light & Magic. The second mortgage I took on my house to pay for your special effects were well worth it.)



My only regret is not having a toy moose to lay in the background on it's side.

Give me a real reason to leave her alone AND the 33 year old Cheerleader. (VIDEO FIXED!)
Category: News and Politics



   Alright, I swear... this is the last of the "Palin Blogs." From this point on, anyone out there that can't figure out how asinine this choice was, you're on your own.

   Some people out there have criticizing Obama's comparison of Palin being "more in line with Bush than even McCain" as desperation. It's scary, but I just read a very important, and eyebrow raising article on Palin in the New York Times.

   Below I will provide some snippets from the article. YOU tell ME who this reminds you of...

She believes the Iraq war was tasked by GOD.
