The Hypocrisy Continues..........

So it is. They're at it again. The protectors of the poor. The lobbyists for the weak. The Robin Hoods who preach distribution of money to those who don't have it. The bleeding hearts who condemn the mean hate mongering Conservatives for trying to keep those less fortunate down and poor.

Bunch of frauds.

A new study and article out from the Washington Post, "Conservatives give more to charity" punches those hypocrites in the face.

Very interesting article pointing out that those who fight for the well-being of the poor (which is OK) only wants to do it with YOUR money, Not theirs. Including the rich elitists.


The age old saying, "Practice what you Preach".

Just when you think you have issues

I ordered a beer at lunch today. By myself sitting at the bar. Still had to go back to work. Felt a little irresponsible.

Some dude bellied up next to me. By himself. Ordered a double vodka cranberry and an Irish Car Bomb to chase it.

Didn't get enough 4 days ago?

At least I ordered food.

Things I Hate...

Whether I'm in a rush........or Not"

When I sit at the stoplight at the on-ramp to the freeway, I patiently wait my turn. 2 Cars here, 2 cars there, 2 cars here, then I go.

Then it happens. Along comes the dude who's time is more valuable than mine. The single driver who hops into the car pool lane and blows the red light.

I curse these people and if I practiced VooDoo they'd be F'ed.

Democrats are Lucky......right now anyway

Even if you are so disgruntled over the past weeks controversy with Barack Obama and his pastor, at least you have an alternative. As grotesque as that might be, at least you still have Hillary to fall back on.

Had John McCain been videotaped lighting a 30ft cross on fire at a KKK rally, what the hell do the Republicans do? Not vote? Hope McCain stays in the race, but deflects the controversy by saying he was only lighting a fire cuz "he was cold"? Vote for him anyway to support your party despite him being a confirmed Grand Wizard?

No doubt this issue just sprinkled kryptonite into Obamas drink. What was once a candidate running away with this thing is now backed into a corner about to take the offer of a Democratic Super Ticker. Cuz at least 2nd place still gets him in the White House.

Question of the Day 2

I watched the beginning of a new mini series last night on HBO. John Adams. It seems to be a very accurate portrayal of the birth of our nation. I like history and have always watched and read about the Revolutionary War period, but never anything like this.

All the usual suspects: John & Sam Adams, Thomas J, Ben Franklin, G.W. etc.

Brave, patriotic & passionate. Outspoken and eloquent gentlemen with purpose. Willing to stand up for what they believe and even risk death. They were looking out for the common good for their fellow colonists. Unalienable basic rights given by god. They asked for this with no individual reward in return. No power, no money.

How interesting to watch the behind the scenes of the birth of America behind the stones of these men. These men who the king called radicals and traitors.

232 Years later we have Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore, Ted Kennedy, The Clintons, Pelosi, amongst the many, many others who stand up to government and their policies and proclaim themselves defenders of the Constitution.

Question of the Day.

Is there any correlation between these people?

Reason #1 I Rule

I'm 33 and refuse to grow up. When leaving the grocery store, I must push my shopping cart towards ludicrous speed, hop on the back and ride to my car. It is against the rules to put my foot down to stop unless there is a 96% chance of me hitting a nice car. Otherwise, I use my body and weight, similar to Sumo techniques to steer through the parking lot.

I often pass children 3 times my junior walking with their parents texting on their blackberries.

The Media - Economy Cause & Effect

I think the majority of people and consumers don't follow what specific events are happening with the economy. ie. what exactly is causing the economy and the dollar to fluctuate, be stimulated, or tank.

Besides massive issues like the housing crisis, most people haven't an idea whats happening with the economy. They aren't trained economists. They aren't savvy forecasters. Most of the sheep listen in to what the media tells them.

If the media says we're in a recession, then I guess we're in a recession and we better hold back those pennies we were about to splurge on un-necessities.

Is the media to blame for perpetuating the problem? As well as some government officials trying to save their skin by saying that a recession is looming?

If nobody really said anything, wouldn't people just go on spending like drunken sailors the way they have been the last many years?

Of course consumer spending is only a small cog in the economic equation, but it can't hurt when people decide to go ahead anyway buying that 3rd car, or do that remodel, or continue to eat out 4 times a week instead of swapping to ramin.

I don't know. I'm one of those economically challenged persons who only hears this crap through the media. So now my kitchen countertops gots to wait dammit!

Bicyclers 2

This is actually a pretty funny video. Very clever.

The Awareness Test

Unfortunately, it is intended to be a PSA for the safety of Bicycler's. Screw those people. The awareness test? Be aware of Bicycler's? Perhaps those clowns ought to be aware of their surroundings. Perhaps they should be aware of some street laws. Just maybe, they should be aware of how god damned stupid they look in their Lite Brite outfits.

As previously mentioned, Carl does not like them. Bicyclers

Bizarre Foods

The Travel Channel is cool. But my favorite show on there has little to do with traveling to exotic destination spots. This is more a show for The Food Network, but I can guess why it isn't on there.

The show is called "Bizarre Foods". It's hosted by this short, fat, bald dude Andrew Zimmern. The premise of the show is for Andrew to travel across the world and sample strange cuisine from places in Europe, India, Africa, Asia, etc. And when I say strange cuisines, I mean shit that will make a billie goat puke. Stuff that is considered normal for that region, but you'd have a hard time finding in the states. You'd even have a hard time finding the INGREDIENTS here in America.

Bugs, fishheads, donkey, cat feet.

The only problem I have with the show is that the host lacks credibility. *I've watched the show 100 times and have yet to see him eat anything he didn't enjoy. With all the vile slop he's put into his mouth you figure at least one time he'd say, "Yeah, not really my cup of tea. Kinda tastes like I just licked a toilet."......... let alone gag and hurl on his plate.

He will sit with a jungle tribe in the South Pacific and eat liquified stink bug with dustmite crackers and he would ooohhhh and aaahhhh at the exquisite taste.

Perhaps he doesn't want to offend anybody. That's fine, but I don't buy into the fact that everything tastes good. I am an easy person to please regarding food and even I find some normal foods, let alone Kangaroo ass, disgusting.

(* Zimmern's top 10 list of gross foods is bullshift. He's never made one.)

Dog People

Celebritards have pushed the "dog people" phenomenom to catastrophic levels. I want to carry a sidearm. What is it with dog people? Why are dogs now considered "accessories"? What ever happened to 85lb Fido on a leash pulling his owner on a skateboard? Where is the beware of dog sign on the side gates of my neighbors?

Every dog now is a little piece of shift, yapping, designer dog. It has a name like Poo Bear or Buttertwinkles, it wears an Armani sweater and has it's own Louis Vuitton purse ride in.

Today, somebody entered my place of business with one of these rodents, put it on the floor and let it run around un-attended. I stared at this thing waiting for it to hunch its back, lower its ass and drop a sweet potato next to my desk. WTF??

Don't people have any courtesy, consideration or respect any longer? Dogs can't wait in cars? Are they afraid that their dog is gonna crap in the back seat and fling dog boogers on the windows? Yeah, probably, therefore lets trash someone else's office. Or house. Or restaurant. I should have stabbed it with my #2.

I understand if someone has to bring a child with them wherever they go and they happen to be unruly. A child can't take care of themselves. But dogs? They can't sit in the trunk for 15 minutes?

We've created this culture where we treat animals like humans. Their not, they're dogs, and if you argue that your dogs are just like humans, then you need to go make some god damn friends. And none of your 10 cats count, loser.

Traffic Jams in Starbucks

I don't get these people. I don't get the people who treat their coffee as if they're preparing a secret sauce to dribble over a $42 entree at a fine restaurant. Starbucks to begin with is overrated, they're just the most convenient unless you want to roll with a cup from a Shell gas station mini-mart. So after you wait on a 10 minute line in the morning at Starbucks, you then have to get on a 20 minute line to spruce up your coffee with any sugar, milk or whatever.

Why is it necessary for you to stand at the little counter and mix and stir, sip than mix, then stir and stir, then sip then stir, then sip and mix, then stir and stir and stir and stir, then sip; then clean your area, adjust your balls, say goodbye to the hippie behind the counter, then leave?

I don't get it. It's the same drink you probably got yesterday and the day before that. Don't you know the correct proportional amounts yet? 2 Parts of this, 1 part of this, stir and go. What am I missing? Is a cup of coffee to be IDEAL every time you put your lips to it? Is a gram of sugar more today than yesterday going to send you into a tailspin? ITS COFFEE! It cost $2. If you F it up, go get another one. If it was more than $2 there's so much sugar, ReddiWhip and chocolate already added that your diabetes will be yelling at you if you hit the sugar counter for more.

Don't people realize there are 10 people behind them just looking for a little milk to cool that thing down? Do they not care? Maybe I'm the stupid one. Again, maybe I should care less about other peoples time. Or maybe Starbucks needs to make that sugar counter just a little bigger. Like the size of a shuffleboard table.

I think maybe I just need to man up and start drinking my coffee black. Either that or start to enjoy the "Premium Select Roast" at my local Exxon.
