Would somebody please help me out here?
See, I’m from Eye-taly and I guess I just don’t get your guy’s (and mine) system all too well – I’ve only been here a few years and all (only 30yrs). Please forgive me.
These here “referenda” that seem to be springing up all over the state….these are taxes over and above the regular school-related property taxes, right? (or not, this is where I need the help).

If it is, what the hell??!!?
Seems pretty simple to me.
Your school boards are doing nothing short of their best imitation of Pontius Pilate (figured it was an appropriate allegory considering the season, and all…).
You know – “don’t look at us, YOU all didn’t vote for the money we needed. WE asked for it, after all.”

After looking back on my own schooling, I wish someone would never have told me about communists,unions and socialists growing up. Scared the crap out of me.

I also could have done without knowing how Il Duce killed his own people, too. Made school very difficult for me. But then again, as I learned in my history classes...time since the birth of Christ has only been measured by the peace between wars.

Come to think of it, it was like that before his birth, too.

And I thought all hope was lost...

The Reeeeally Big Show

Now appearing live(!) for one day only, in front of your congress... Algore, Inc. dba Global Warming!
He warns and warns us to be aware of our environment, blah, blah, blah....so why doesn't he want to take the oath like he wants all of us to?
What an algore. The senator just nails him.

"First, you have claimed that there is a “strong, new emerging consensus” linking global warming to an increase in hurricane intensity and duration. Yet last year, the World Meteorological Organization very clearly rejected this assertion, and other scientists agree.
Secondly, you said that East Antarctica might melt and this could raise sea levels by 20 feet, so we’re all going to die. However, according to many scientists, Antarctica is gaining ice mass, not losing it. In a 2005 study published in Science a team of researchers led by Dr. Curt Davis found an overall gain in ice mass in Antarctica over a ten year period.
And the public is catching on. Even the New York Times last week published an article about scientists, many of them your supporters, who say you have overstated your case on global warming — in fact, they warn that you may be hurting the so-called cause with your "alarmism."
Given that, it is no wonder you have turned down the chance to debate the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus. And now I understand a debate challenge has been issued by Lord Monckton of Benchley.
Now there is a reason for this.
When the debate is balanced, skeptics win, alarmists lose. In New York last week, for instance, a major debate took place to examine whether global warming is a crisis. Prior to the debate, the hand-wringers, the alarmists, in the audience outnumbered those who didn’t think it was a crisis 2 to 1. After the debate, the alarmists were outnumbered – a major turnaround in beliefs in a single night."

The rest.

Reality:
I mean read the damn oath! What kind of tool preaching the global warming religion - and making a movie telling you how to live - refuses to take the oath on a national stage, with everyone watching his lead?
Anyone? Bueller?
The hypocritical algore kind, that's who.

Amazing.
I get tired of the "we can do no wrong" and "do as we say not as we do" BS spewed by our state government. We are quickly becoming laughing stock across the country.
When I commented to my friends (and their acquaintances) in Florida recently that Wisconsin does not require any ID to vote, all their jaws dropped. Left and right.
Amazing.

Now what?

So ...think this will ever become a consensus or be dismissed as "junk science?"

Reality:
This is just hilarious.
How long does this go on before the consensus BS is finally laid to rest for good so a real debate can be had and scientists aren't getting a scarlet letter for disagreeing that Algore?

Hidden costs noone likes to talk about.

You know, my family and friends have been telling me for quite a while that I should apply for disability benefits through the SS. My answer was always, "No way. I'd be a hippocrite if I did that. That is NOT what SS is there for!"
Well, after 7+ years of fighting the MS, I finally had enough of fighting it and I applied and was immidiately granted the benefits.
When I went to the local office, I was a tad bit miffed that all the benefit information was extensively written in Spanish as well as English. I sighed heavily and wondered how much money was wasted nationally in all the offices across the country with all the copies of each. Needles to say, this was just a bit depressing to me.
Then toaday, I was on the government SS website when I came across this little bit of info.
What can I say, but...wow.
Not just Spanish, but an abundance of other languages - in case you find English just too damn difficult or inconvenient to learn. What a joke.
Your tax dollars hard(ly) at work.
Even if its not tax dollars, how much does it cost private business to be "pc" where there are explanations of everything in 1-8 languages? No cost? Really? Who do you think pays for it?

This must have been one hell of a concesus if they are taking it "off the table" after all these years, huh?

Gore's consensus.

Here is the text of Newsweek’s 1975 story on the trend toward global cooling. It may look foolish today, but in fact world temperatures had been falling since about 1940. It was around 1979 that they reversed direction and resumed the general rise that had begun in the 1880s, bringing us today back to around 1940 levels.
I invite you to embrace the phase:
"The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it."

Reality:
Politics? What politics?
Money? What money?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Cooling World
Newsweek, April 28, 1975


There are ominous signs that the Earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production – with serious political implications for just about every nation on Earth. The drop in food output could begin quite soon, perhaps only 10 years from now. The regions destined to feel its impact are the great wheat-producing lands of Canada and the U.S.S.R. in the North, along with a number of marginally self-sufficient tropical areas – parts of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indochina and Indonesia – where the growing season is dependent upon the rains brought by the monsoon.

The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it. In England, farmers have seen their growing season decline by about two weeks since 1950, with a resultant overall loss in grain production estimated at up to 100,000 tons annually. During the same time, the average temperature around the equator has risen by a fraction of a degree – a fraction that in some areas can mean drought and desolation. Last April, in the most devastating outbreak of tornadoes ever recorded, 148 twisters killed more than 300 people and caused half a billion dollars’ worth of damage in 13 U.S. states.

To scientists, these seemingly disparate incidents represent the advance signs of fundamental changes in the world’s weather. The central fact is that after three quarters of a century of extraordinarily mild conditions, the earth’s climate seems to be cooling down. Meteorologists disagree about the cause and extent of the cooling trend, as well as over its specific impact on local weather conditions. But they are almost unanimous in the view that the trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century. If the climatic change is as profound as some of the pessimists fear, the resulting famines could be catastrophic. “A major climatic change would force economic and social adjustments on a worldwide scale,” warns a recent report by the National Academy of Sciences, “because the global patterns of food production and population that have evolved are implicitly dependent on the climate of the present century.”

A survey completed last year by Dr. Murray Mitchell of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reveals a drop of half a degree in average ground temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere between 1945 and 1968. According to George Kukla of Columbia University, satellite photos indicated a sudden, large increase in Northern Hemisphere snow cover in the winter of 1971-72. And a study released last month by two NOAA scientists notes that the amount of sunshine reaching the ground in the continental U.S. diminished by 1.3% between 1964 and 1972.

To the layman, the relatively small changes in temperature and sunshine can be highly misleading. Reid Bryson of the University of Wisconsin points out that the Earth’s average temperature during the great Ice Ages was only about seven degrees lower than during its warmest eras – and that the present decline has taken the planet about a sixth of the way toward the Ice Age average. Others regard the cooling as a reversion to the “little ice age” conditions that brought bitter winters to much of Europe and northern America between 1600 and 1900 – years when the Thames used to freeze so solidly that Londoners roasted oxen on the ice and when iceboats sailed the Hudson River almost as far south as New York City.

Just what causes the onset of major and minor ice ages remains a mystery. “Our knowledge of the mechanisms of climatic change is at least as fragmentary as our data,” concedes the National Academy of Sciences report. “Not only are the basic scientific questions largely unanswered, but in many cases we do not yet know enough to pose the key questions.”

Meteorologists think that they can forecast the short-term results of the return to the norm of the last century. They begin by noting the slight drop in overall temperature that produces large numbers of pressure centers in the upper atmosphere. These break up the smooth flow of westerly winds over temperate areas. The stagnant air produced in this way causes an increase in extremes of local weather such as droughts, floods, extended dry spells, long freezes, delayed monsoons and even local temperature increases – all of which have a direct impact on food supplies.

“The world’s food-producing system,” warns Dr. James D. McQuigg of NOAA’s Center for Climatic and Environmental Assessment, “is much more sensitive to the weather variable than it was even five years ago.” Furthermore, the growth of world population and creation of new national boundaries make it impossible for starving peoples to migrate from their devastated fields, as they did during past famines.

Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the Arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve. But the scientists see few signs that government leaders anywhere are even prepared to take the simple measures of stockpiling food or of introducing the variables of climatic uncertainty into economic projections of future food supplies. The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality.

NEW GAME! Time to play: "Al vs....."

Reality would just destroy Al, so we'll go easy on him to start and give him this chump.
He's just a nobody with alot less climatological experience than Alfonse.

Reality:
Whoop-de-freakin' do.
So what?
Will the soldiers come back? Will money be paid to the families?
This reeks of feel-good.

Eyes Wide Shut

Well, I guess the media, et.al. have taken a break from the collective fellatio they have bestowed Al Gore. Even the most conservative of publications has had enough.
Go figure: the unquestionable consensus is starting to be nothing but a house of cards built on "feel-good" policies and exaggerated predictions that do nothing but take our eyes off the real issue. Great job, Al.
You suck.

Reality:
Gore has done nothing but waste everyone's time. The issue - for America - is to find alternative energy sources. Not on what the Kyoto accords or what the world thinks we need to do based on a "global" consensus. The world will move towards conservation and a greater awareness of our environment - regardless. With or without Al's help. Gore, as a complete hypocrite, wants us to decrease our "carbon footprint." He claims he does that by buying offsets...from a company he helped found. These "offsets" of his are nothing but investments into a company that pushes the green, fear-mongering machine that he helped create. The more fear he can put into you folks, the more money he makes.
What a joke.
Keep pushing, extreme left. Even the "regular" left has just about had it with you. When the pendulum swings back and people realize that it was founded mostly on fear-mongering rather than science and pragmatic solutions, you'll drown in your red tide.

This kinda stuff is..

Ok, so when I first heard about this incident, I thought "Damn right, she got what she deserved!!" .....you could say I'm a tad bit bitter about a great many things.

Well, I finally made it out to Mecca, or as you all refer to it as: Las Vegas.
I think the only way I can really relate to everyone how the trip was financially was to give a cliff’s notes play-by-play. Sorry for the length. Characters I met along the way might be for a later posting…

Day 1: Arrive at McCarran at 10. Enter poker tournament at the Stratosphere at midnite.
Bad decision. Holy waaaaaaay too aggressive for real money, Batman.
Short story: $65 entry fee….poof.
Continuing with crystal-clear thinking at 2 in the morning, I moved on to the
$1/$2 No-Limit cash game. After a $100 buy-in and 4 hours, I actually walked away with a
net plus of $750! Kick ass, right? Let’s just say the life of a junkie is a difficult one.

Day 1½: After 24+ hours of being up, I decided to get the cheapest room they had for 1 night. Played something called 3-card poker (mental note to self: if you find yourself playing a game you never actually played for money before, DON’T BET MOST OF YOUR WINNINGS.) I also swore to myself that I would not play any slots….yeah, that ended badly. Especially when you feel like you’re playing for “free” with winnings. This philosophy has gotten me in trouble before and I should really know better by now. Lose ~$300 by the time my buddy arrives later that day (don’t forget, that includes a nap and a hotel room).

Day 1¾: Mathew arrives and we get in on another tourney. We both are quickly eliminated and swear off poker forever (pfft…as if). I get into another cash game for $100 buy-in and am quickly up to $350. Missed seeing a full house, and lost all of it. Gotta love no-limit.

Day 2: Mathew’s grandparents (who we are staying with the rest of the week, thank God) take us to a newly built casino and buy us lunch.
Nice, I finally feel like a bit of a winner.
They then take us to another local casino where we enter another tournament. Mathew actually won that one!! 53 people, $40 buy-in. I lose with 2 tables left because a guy cracked my pocket Aces with 10-8 off and pulled 2 pair on the flop…..but I digress because of my bitterness. Me: more money lost on slots and any other card game I could find.

Day 2 ½: After feeling completely thrashed by casinos, Mathew and I decide to try yet another card game for the first time: Pai Gow. 6 hours and a net win for me of $5 and Mathew’s net win of $11, we felt like the king’s of the world. We’ve found a new game: little cost, hours of fun and free drinks. KICK ASS.

Day 3: Mathew says to me: “Hey, lets play ‘Let it ride.’” Again, never played this one before…and I will never play it again. Net big loss.

Day 3½: We decided to kick it “old school” and headed off to the Sahara. Ever heard of a game called “3-5-7 Poker?” Yeah, me neither. See note above.
Then I see this table with one older lady as the dealer. I say “This can’t be what I think it is?!?!!” Mathew says: “Hell yes it is! I’m doing it to say I did it, you look for the ‘Guess the number game like in Vegas Vacation!!”
The game was “Casino War.” It cost $5…per card. Yes, like the kids game. Ouch.
He gets the first card: 4. Dealer: 5. Dealer takes his $5, thanks for playing. Mathew looks up at me with a “what the hell just happened???” look on his face. I’m laughing so hard that I’m crying. The ‘pit boss’ comes over to see what I was laughing at, and chuckles a bit himself.
Incredulous and undaunted, Mathew presses on for another 5 bucks.
He gets another 4. Dealer gets a Jack. You lose again, thanks for playing.
I am now laughing so hard, I’m on my knees. Mathew stands in a huff and storms off. I try to call him back to show him my camaraderie by also betting $10 dollars. He doesn’t hear and continues to walk away.
I sit down at the table with the pit boss staring bemused by the whole incident and the librarian of a dealer stoically taking our money. As he’s walking back, he sees me and starts razzing me and laughing.
The laughter stops momentarily and then intensifies when he realizes I’m actually up $50! I actually decided to cut short my dominance and walk out on top. Again, thank God.
As the night progressed, however, I managed to deplete whatever funds I had.
Bad news, considering it was Saturday night and my plane was leaving Monday midnight.
Damn you to hell, Vegas.

Day 4-5: This part gets a little hazy as I was awake from 9:00 am Sunday to midnight Monday. Here’s what I recall: I stayed awake Sunday night and watched a rather good show featuring 3 lovely and talented ladies. I called my girlfriend on Monday morning to appraise her of my financial situation…and go figure, she was not amused or pleased. I begged for her to lend me $100 so I could go to the cash poker table and attempt to win it back. She did so, reluctantly, and I walked away with a big profit (theme of the week: thank God). I had decided previously that I would spend $20 at an airport slot before I left (I was assuming I would have it, of course).
I walked up to a “Wheel of Fortune” machine, lamenting to the older lady next to me how I hate slots and I never win. She told me I “had to be positive.” Those of you that know me know how difficult this can be for me, so on one of my spins I asked her to spin for me……………holy crap, it hit! With the winnings at the slots, I managed to make the week a net wash.
Went and collected my money and quickly boarded the plane.
Sayonara, Vegas! A wash means I beat you! Good riddance!

Reality:
I think I’m going back in July….

Uh....

Not that anyone actually reads this, but....I'm Audi 'til next Wednesday.






Reality:
Poker tables, here I come...please don't hurt me.

The follies of youth.

As far back as I can remember, I've wanted to fly. As I got older, I moved on from just flying to wanting to fly F-18's and eventually, be in the space program. Going into outer space was, and is, my dream. In high school, I realized that if I want to persue my dream, the route would have to be a fighter pilot in the Navy.
Slight problem I did not foresee: I had the vision of Mr. Magoo.
Crud.
Galactically bad eyesight kept me from flying.
All I'm saying is, I just think it would have caused less problems than this!!

Reality:
Hell, I could have done that!!
As a matter of fact, in college.........ahem...sorry, but I digress.
Nevermind.

Boohoo....

Schools are closed in alot of areas around Milwaukee today because....wait for it....it's just too darn cold.
(Prepare for an old fogey moment...) When I was in school it closed once. It was so bad that whether they were closed or not, my dad called from his work to tell my mom not to send us. To put it in perspective, the whole "parting of the Red Sea" thing was child's play.
And now we close (boohoo..) "because its just too chilly."
I'm sure the rocket scientists in charge will cancel school the rest of winter 'CAUSE WE'RE IN FREAKIN' WISCONSIN, AND IT'S USUALLY COLD IN WINTER!
What the hell??!?

Reality:
The reason they closed schools was a worry over children not having mittens and scarves.
Get real you numbnut nannies.
How many of those children "without" hats or gloves have parents that have TV's, cell phones, nice jewelry, etc., etc.??
No, this is just another way for the nanny state to take over your life.
So, since a minority of parents can't seem to dress their children appropriately for cold weather, we'll just cancel it for everyone.
Just like dodgeball, right?
How many kids today are out to a friend's house, a mall, snowball fighting, etc.?
(Prepare for old fogey moment 2..) I remember having the same arguement with my mom, too: "Mom! The schools have heat! I only need to be outside for a second! Come on!"

Start your engines....

Last nite, Mr. Real Debate held his in aldermanic campaign kick-off soirée.
It was good to see Uncle Fred again and I am glad that he is joining the political arena. (Yes, I refer to him as "uncle"...I mean look at him! That's such a textbook uncle look, isn't it??!?)
Anyhow...Fred is a fairer man than most realize, and I wish him all the best. Please drop by his "other" site and drop some funds his way.

Reality:
All the best of luck, uncle Fred. Wish I could vote for ya.

Those of you....

...that thought you could avoid the "thought police", I give you this:

Washington Released from Rehab
Troubled Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington has been released from a rehabilitation facility after a week of counseling for his repeated use of a homophobic slur. The star, who plays Dr. Preston Burke on the hit series, is expected to return to the set today. Washington, who will continue to receive outpatient counseling, caused an altercation on the show's set in October when he used a homosexual slur to refer to cast member TR Knight. He stirred up the controversy once again during a Golden Globes press conference when he used the term again while talking about the incident.

Reality:
He said something beyond stupid: check.
He said it more than once: check
He took drugs, was violent towards someone or wished someone physical harm: not so much...
This guy may be an idiot, but to go to "rehab" so he can be "reprogrammed" to not hurt someone's feelings.....whoa, daddy!
Get ready to go to rehab if you refer to a Native-American as an "injun."
Unless, of course, you are a legislator from Wisconsin.

So tell me.....

do you all feel better now?

Reality:
What a joke.
"Non-binding."
Why not just call it "feel good" or "soundbite for my next re-election?"

The dichotomy is mind boggling...

Wow. Can you believe this?
I'm just saying, even a hard-core gambler like me was a bit shocked by this post......

Reality:
"Dictator" seems a bit harsh. Why, I remember back in the day when I was denied my pate de faux gras. Wait, that was yesterday.
......and its a good thing we don't have a president that's left a trail of women accusing him of such things.

Next year.....

Is seriously shaping up to be very pro-geek.
Yes, I can't wait. (or is it "no, I can't wait? whichever...I can't wait)

Reality:
"Oh! That is cool."

Excuse me?

Does anyone remember this story?
'Cause I don't.
I love how Cora the physisit saves face by blaming the damn humans - despite what she sees - by saying:
"No one predicted the dramatic loss of ozone in the upper stratosphere of the Northern Hemisphere in the spring of 2004. That we can still be surprised illustrates the difficulties in separating atmospheric effects due to natural and human-induced causes."
So this is considered "science" these days?
Good grief.

Reality:
Maybe you didn't hear about it because there is no feel-good legislation that can be passed to prevent solar flares?
Maybe 'cause Al didn't cover it in his movie?
Maybe there are no taxes to be collected from it?
In the end, I think maybe people just don't like to hear that - in reality - they don't have much say about what happens in the cosmos.
This isn't a case of an ant trying to move a mountain, its a case of an ant trying to move the moon.

Blame Canada?

Ocean levels rising? Blame global warming.
Drought conditions? Blame global warming.
Crazy freezing climate? Blame global warming.

But in the end, blame Bush, of course.
All the do-gooders in the EU will feel like they are making a difference and taking a stand, dammit!

Reality:
Just curious how all the "tree huggers" address the fact that there have only been machines on this Earth for about 150 years, and yet the glaciers melted, anyway? I guess it must have been the beavers or something.
And how are they going to react in, say, 20 years when the status still exists - contrary to that great climatologist Al Gore says.
And what are they going to say when the sun's "sunspot cycle" peaks, and it gets chilly again? Or a gigantic solar flare(s) hits the Earth? Oops....my fault, do-gooders cant control that through feel-good legislation. Oh, sorry, the Sun cant be politicized.
Its kind of like Tommy Lee Jones' line to Wesley Snipes in "The Fugitive": "I dont caaaaaare."
The Sun doesnt care. Sorry.
It will burn. It will die, eventually. It will affect Earth regardless of legislation in 1 country or 25.
Not the biggest, fastest growing country, mind you.
Just ours.

Whoa, daddy!!

I’ve said before what a huge geek I am. When I worked construction, I was mesmerized sometimes by the huge machinery and some ridiculously large construction projects all around me.
Well, THIS pretty much pegs my “geek meter.”
Last I heard, they were already on the 100th floor.
Just so you get the idea of the scope of this thing, go here.

Reality:
This is so cool to me…..but…
Please note the name of one of the contractors chosen to build it.
I thought they were related. If I’m mistaken, please let me know.

FINALLY!!!

He says something funny.
What. A. Delusional. Moron.

Reality:
I really hope this is true.
I will provide lots of material.

Question of the Day:

What am I missing?
Story A
Story B

Reality:
"Global warming poses a dire threat to human civilization that is second only to nuclear weapons."
Wtf?? OMG!!!!!
Forget what you might have learned or know, the politicians will tell you what you need to know. I'd bet my tuna on it.

Seriously, did you know?

That this could happen??
In all my biology classes (that I can remember) I don't remeber anything about too much water killing you with such force and swiftness.
I thought you were supposed to drink 1/2 your weight in water - in pounds to ounces - daily. So a 200lb. man has to drink roughly 100 ounces of water a day (nearly a gallon).
Now, I understand that she had to "hold it" for as long as she could....but who hasn't had a bar night where mass quantaties have been consumed and - for some reason or another - had to hold it?

Reality:
While this is a tragic event, to say that they should have foreseen this is ludicrous.
People keep their jobs for doing far worse things than putting up a contest with unbeknownst repercussions (Listen up, Mr. Kennedy....and Condit).

I'll take "What's the f**ing point" for a $1,000, please Alex.

Anyone know?

Reality:
Someone must have not "felt good" about the sentence.
Gee, I know I'll be sleeping better tonite knowing this mess is cleared up.

Thank GOD for the U.N.

Good thing the U.N. is there to dispute the official government numbers on deaths and wounded and such.

Reality:
Maybe they can "rework" the official numbers in Milwaukee, ATL, Detroit and N.O....

Bias? What bias?, 3

Headline One. (Front page headline: Iran buys surplus U.S. military gear)
Headline Two. (Front page headline: How American Weapons Wound Up in Iran and China)
Both are about the same story.

Reality:
Unless one really reads the article, the drive-by readers will only get that the Pentagon is selling arms directly to those countries. What a joke.

Isn't this a problem?

Looks like someone is trying to put an end to internet search engines.
Sounds like a great idea, right?
Damn Google finding pages all over!

Reality:
And you wonder why our courts are "bogged down?"
Lawsuits like this are beyond stupid....IMHO.

Idiot Check

Oh come ON!!
This was my favorite toy - by far - growing up!!

Reality:
Granted, its not the same toy. You used to be able to buy "bulk" amounts of this stuff and just...create. These days, it has to be a pre-determined castle or spaceship.
Lame.
My proudest moments were when I created all 5 lions from "Voltron" that were able to be re-assembled into the big robot. Or the spaceship from 2001.
Hey, I've admitted to being big geek.
Why not strive to be the biggest, right?

H/T Charlie "Blogfather" Sykes

South Park had it right all along...

Blame Canada.

Reality:
Canada sucks. Anyone wanna tell me how its so easy to do this?
Oh, that's right...they don't think they have a problem, they just want what we got.

I wonder if Mr. Corleone knows about this?

Patron in Spanish means "Godfather."
That is one moniker they'll never own. Pffftt....

Reality:
Lets take a quick score, shall we?
Language doesn't define you as American.
Currency doesn't define you as American.
Citizenship doesn't define you as American.
Someone want to tell me what's left?
And please don't say "ideology" 'cause as Allah knows, someone will strike you down for that, too.

Holy Cow.....!

As a kid, I wasn't even all that excited about any Transformers.
I am now.

Reality:
Whoa!....Whoa!....WHOA!!

Well THIS should settle it.

Once and for all!!
Get it right, people. Its all about how the evil Americans are to blame for all the world's ills - especially Al-queda!
Damn you for having a ...er..presence there!
Damn you infidels for making a movie about it!
Damn you!
You know, if it wasn't for America, there would be absolutely no reason for Islamists to be militant. ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!!

Reality:
Do you finally get it? It doesn't matter what we do or don't do. Crazy people will blame anything to achieve conquest.
If you don't get it, get help.
If you don't get it, get real.

You don't know Jack!

But its ok!
This is America, we don't really care.
We just want to feel.............er, uh...we just want YOU to feel good!

Reality:
What a friggin' croc!
MAKE THE DAMN TEST HARDER ALREADY!!!
I took this test when I became a citizen. A girl "in training" who appeared to be just out of high school was being mentored by a guy who could barely speak English!!! (I swear to God I think it was Apu from Seinfeld)
This is such a joke that its even up for debate.
Its TEN FRIGGIN' QUESTIONS, and you get to know them before you take the test!!!!!!!
I wish college was that easy. Or my job.
Sorry, those immigrants that are pissing and moaning about this are nothing but jackasses.

Color me stupid, I guess.

Reeeeeally?
"This is a dramatic and disturbing event."
"we are losing remarkable features of the Canadian North"
"Consistent with climate change"
"unusually warm temperatures definitely played a major role."

Reality:
Those were all quotes from the 'front' of the article.
Hidden within the article, - in the second to last paragraph - however, is this little gem:
"Within days of breaking free, the Ayles Ice Shelf drifted about 30 miles offshore before freezing into the sea ice."
Wait...aren't the oceans getting warmer?
Ice still freezes at at 32 degrees, right? Or has global warming now affected the basic laws of thermodynamics, too?
Dammit!! I knew I should have paid more attention in Physics (?).

Priceless...

So today I decided to check to see if anyone actually visits my meager little blog and lo and behold, look who it is!

See folks, six months ago I was fired from the company I worked for in Greenfield.
Seems I had an issue with some of the waste and redundancies I was seeing, so I spoke out – those of you that know me or have worked with me (Fred) won’t be shocked by this.
Along with this severe ineptitude there was a Queen “B” who ruled the roost. No one knew exactly how she had come to rule, they all just accepted it as a fact of life. I spent many, many a conversations listening to the vile, hateful and – for the most part – true statements made about her. Everyone was afraid to stand up to her way of doing things. Well, as you’ve guessed, I was not. Repercussions be damned.
So deep ran their level of ineptitude, that their first attempt to fire me failed miserably.
They had pinned their hopes on the fact I was dating the receptionist at the time (I’ll spare you the hypocrisy of this; I’ll just say that there are no less than a half dozen married couples who met “at the office” currently there).
Reluctantly, they decided to “give me another chance.” After about a month or so of hell, they used the excuse that the customer wanted me off a project – mostly because I couldn’t get the sub-contractors in line.
Crazy, though…I had predicted a fall guy when the project started. There was one person responsible for hiring ALL the contractors and setting up the pricing/contracts spent months ignoring issues I presented to him. And what of the Queen? Oh, she was busy making money for her shady contractor – which she did very well.

Anywho, to make an even longer story slightly shorter, the division I was in was renamed “The Project Management Group.” Actually we were nothing more than glorified pencil-pushing babysitters. We couldn’t stray, manage or control, and we sure as hell weren’t a “group.”

I guess things have slowed down for them these days (big surprise) because they seem to have time to look into my meaningless pontifications.

Whoever this was, quit being a coward and expose yourself.
By the time you read this, I’ll know you’ve been here again.

Now we can ALL sleep better tonight.

Knowing that whoever committed such an atrocity to a statesman is going to be hunted down and made to pay!
I'm appalled!
No amount of time or money will be enough to make these evildoers pay, dammit!

Reality:
Ya, ok, let's go the whole nine yards on what he deserves and spend 10 seconds and 38 cents on the "investigative probe."
Probe this.
Quit wasting any more time and money on that jackass.

Colors.

To be clear folks:
It's not about black, white or glitter.
It's all about the green.
Anyone that disagrees is either a damn liar or a statstician.

Reality:
Scum is scum.
Shady is shady.
Lies are lies.
Deal with it, race baiters.

Ugh..

I cannot believe this chick is still around!!!
WTF?!?!

Reality:
Ok, seriously tho, she's on like her 48th minute of fame, isn't she?

Don't forget to vote.

I gotta figure out how I can vote for this guy...

Reality:
Where's the 7th district?
All the luck to you, Uncle Fred.

UPDATE:
Mr. Fred has started his own "position blog" to elaborate more on his positions.

Holy no life Batman!!

You won't get it unless you actually try it.

Reality:
But once you do, it's over.
You are hooked.

Just what exactly...

was he thinking??!?!

Reality:
There is a noble thing as "turn the other cheek", but there is a stupid - borderline sleazy in my book - thing known as "appeasement" and "ignore."

Understatement of the year award.

"put up quite a fight"

Reality:
There is such a thing as being humble and modest, but come ON.
This this is as big as a two-story house...at least.
Wow.

News survey.

Which is the more pointless story:

1. Now the U.N. is involved, beeatch!
2. Screw kicking your ass up and down the Persian Gulf, I'm gonna sue your ass.
3. What, me worry? I'm gonna fiddle while the world burns.

Reality:
1. Gee, only 17 or so more resolutions before they back out, right?
2. Typical leftie/lawyer mentality. Newsflash: The world don't care.
3. I'm all for a good party, but a party to "introduce" or "define" yourself?
Isn't that called a cotillion?

Why I linger on Telemundo.

As South Park would say: "Niiiiiicccceeee..."

Reality:
Certainly not the greatest, but you get the idea..
As much as I hate the fact that there are like 16 Spanish-language channels on my Directv, I swear the only requisite they have is:
If you're a babe, you're on.
Have you seen the guys? Damn, even I look good.

Rubberneckking.

Move it along. Move it along.

Nothing to see here.

Reality:
Buckle up, folks. This will be what you leave your children.
Get a clue: THIS IS INDEPENDANT OF THE CURRENT WAR.
Those that believe otherwise, feel free to tell me how the war influenced Ahmadinejad's beliefs on the Holocaust.

WTF??

This is the dumbest thing I've ever read.
First they set it up by saying things like:
"Circumcising adult men is an effective way to limit transmission of the virus" &
"We now have confirmation — from large, carefully controlled, randomized clinical trials "
But then they tell us..
"This finding appears to apply only to heterosexual transmission which is the main mode of spread in Africa."

THIS is a large, randomized, carefully controlled study???

WTF?!?

Reality:
How 'bout "Don't have unprotected sex?"
Was that too much of a stretch?
Did they not think the participants of the study could handle it?
I smell global warming.

PROOF!!!

Now this is might turn out to be global warming.

Reality:
It's this or maybe all the Aquanet in Al's hair.

And so it begins...

Just in case you might be thinking to the future, this little nugget pops up.

Reality:
Since the lefties rode that threat of the red tsunami so well last election, I'm guessing they are just trying to get an early start on the next one.
Kinda like the Christmas advertising before halloween or thanksgiving.

Uh...huh??

There are liars, damn liars and statistics.

Reality:
I blame global warming.

Why are judicial appointments necessary?

Because this what the lefties want to waste your time with. Nothing in this country is as important as a feel-good, do-nothing law that the lefties can use to climb onto their soapboxes with.

Reality:
Folks, don't for a second think these BS lawsuits will stop here.
Sure, we're fighting a war. Sure, we need to solve thousands of problems.
But hey, if we can make it illegal to ban CO2, why not!! Not like we have anything better to do. 300 million down, 5.7 Billion to go! Idiots.
For the record, lefties, lets review: Islamic fascists want to see you die too and you also regularly give off CO2!
Just a thought.

I can't wait to leave...

To leave Diamond Jim's playhouse, that is.
This is his Clinton-esque way of "fighting" for the common man:

"Doyle also said a proposed $80 annual fee to register vehicles each year - up from $55 - is "too high" and a $10 increase would be "more reasonable." The $80 fee was recommended days after the election by the state Department of Transportation."

Incredible.
This comes from the same brain trust that told you to vote for DJ because he balanced the budget. Now some guy in the inner city with an '87 Ford Tempo or a guy with not alot of money (like me) can pay the same amount as some "richie" does on his 3 Land Rovers.
Yay equality!!

Reality:
I'm done pussy-footing around. The folks that voted this laying sack of dog feces (apologies to actual dog feces for the offense) are just friggin' morons!
Doyle voter: "Huh? What? I didn't see that coming at all...the budget was balanced, see..."
Shut up!
You are (mostly) the same morons that nearly elected a fellow moron as the DA. Good news, tho, she'll still be in the Diamond Jim network and the head of the DNR...but that'll be a post for another day.

Excuse me, Mr. Gore?

Um...yeah...global warm this, you putz.

Reality:
Just curious...how many more "exceptions" to this global warming rule are we going to ignore until before it becomes more than a "zany coinkydink?"

THIS is who we're supposed to listen to?

Whenever someone mentions to me the “Munich Olympics” I think – “sure, the one where the Jewish athletes were kidnapped and killed. I’ve heard of it.”

Could I seriously be more messed up in think of it as that simple?

I just finished watching a documentary this morning on IFC of all places (shoot me, I’m a very early riser) called “A Day in September.” A couple of thoughts:

Holy Clusterfuck, Batman!
Sorry, that is the only way to describe the lack of communication, inaction and ineptness of the Germans during this whole conflict. The top 3 being:
i. We don’t need to tell our snipers that there are 8 kidnappers instead of 5
ii. We’ll just order the armored cars to arrive at the airport about an hour after the shooting starts
iii. We don’t really need communication with all our “response forces.”

They though that they could “negotiate” with the terrorists after the shooting started.
This was such a ridiculous idea, even one of the German officials who was interviewed for the documentary started chuckling at the fact that the terrorists started shooting at the “negotiator” while he was talking. The German official chuckled, “I’m sorry, it is all kind of funny to me now.” Apparently, he could still chuckle after a grenade was thrown into one helicopter filled with tied-up Jewish athletes and machine gun was emptied into the other ‘copter.

What happened after was just as repulsive as what happened during.
Three of the terrorist/murderers were captured, but would never stand trial. See, shortly after the incident, a waaaay under booked Lufthansa flight – with no women or children on board, even – was hijacked. Guess what the hijackers demanded? Yup. The release of the 3 remaining Munich terrorists. Without consulting – let alone notifying the Israeli government, or any other – they were released.
Later, one of the hijackers admitted that it was a set up (no duh) by the German government so they wouldn’t be terrorized again. I guess training doesn’t count. The same “chuckling official” from above was asked about the hijacking. As a somber look crossed his face, he replied with “I can’t comment on that.”

Disgusted by the actions, the Israelis set up an assassination squad to find and kill the remaining 3 terrorists. 2 were found and killed. The third appeared in this documentary “for the first time since” and is currently hiding in Africa. WHAT??! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? Isn’t that aiding and abetting of some sort????
I thought Hollywood made a movie about this, so I went off to IMDB to find “Munich.” It was sad. “Justice or revenge?” it cried.
Personally, I think both. You kill 11 people when all they want to do is go to a sporting event, then I’m taking away your breathing privileges. Is that justice or revenge, I don’t rightly care. Both, probably.
But what I do know is that the Germans handled the actual kidnapping like crap and then made it worse by their actions on the Lufthansa flight.

My Hero.

This guy always brings his "A" game.

Reality:
God bless Joe.

'Cause I needed another reason??

Go away.

Well, obviously!

Insanity, thy name is Ahmadinejad.


Reality:
So is it safe to say yet that we are dealing with crazy thugs and not "diplomats?"

Can't say that!

Check out Peter's post.

Did I happen to mention...I'm in love with Michelle Malkin?

Oh. My. God.

Still insisting he’s relevant and his idiotic views on the Middle East in this post 9/11 world amount to a hill of beans, I give you this edition of “WWJD?”

I invite you to read the first couple of paragraphs.
We are told the Camp David (that’s a vacation home, right?) Accords were “supposed to be the beginning of the end of the Middle East’s terrible conflicts” and yet “the killing goes on.” (Is this like Billy working “40 man hours” to broker peace in our time?…but I’m getting my martyrs confused and I digress…)
Well I have to say, I’m certainly shocked. Who do those people think they are?? I thought the “don’t follow the rules” thing only happened because of American involvement in Iraq, et. al.?

Reality:
This guy is a joke.

WOW...

This is how the media wants to spin this.
Funny how when Gary Glitter and Michael Jackson were accused of the same type of things, they’re behavior didn’t threaten to “bring down” the ENTIRE entertainment industry.

Reality:
The media is a manipulating joke.
Funny how this wasn’t as big a deal when Gerry Studds did it, eh?
He actually DID the things, not "IM" or email them.
Trust the BS these people are dishing and you deserve what you get.

THEY THINK YOU ARE STUPID AND YOU CAN'T THINK FOR YOURSELVES, PEOPLE.

Newsflash!!!!!!!

Kentucky outlaws crack pipes!
All is well!

Reality:
Once again stranger than fiction, eh?
