Friday's Political Vent

Many moons ago, I instituted and copyrighted this date in honor of those behind the front wheel and on the CB of all those 18 Wheelers, give or take, making sure we get what we need.  Thus, I say unto them---10-4!!!

As for those supposedly "running the country," and actually running it into the ground, I offer THIS:

You have to be out or your &#+@#! minds!!!  You have lost any sense of honor, dignity, truth, justice and all the other accolades you people swore to uphold, being elected based on your promises...ALL OF YOU!!!

You KNEW the economy was in dire straits L-O-N-G before you went on that collective and insidious 5 week vacation.  How Effing stupid was THAT???  What it told me and many others is that you flat out did not give a damn about anything other than yourselves!!!  "Country, be damned---I'm going home to raise money for re-election and any other benefit I can accrue, based on my self-appointed/anointed entitlements."

You are worse than a room filled with bickering 5 year old children.  If the man in that office had any spine at all, he would have called you into a large room and told you that no one goes any damned where until a workable budget is established.  Seems to me that no one is in charge and even less of you give a big fat rat's patoot when none of you consider anything other than your sick selves!

Don't respond with any cheap, self-serving rhetoric.  When in corporate America, we department heads convened at least twice yearly to review/revise the initial 1 year and sometimes, 5 year Long Range Plans.  Do YOU do that?  Sure doesn't seem so, begging the question...Would you know HOW?  It would be very interesting to know how many of you actually have experience working in a profit driven environment.  How many of you actually participated in managing a department, division, subsidiary or even a total company?  You probably began as a local "gofer" for a councilperson, filled with grandiose idealism.  As time passed, you learned or were taught about "the system" and how to make it work for you.  Climbing the socio-political stairs and as your wealth and power increased, it resulted in an equal amount of minimal representation of your constituents' wishes and needs.

Oh yeah---Most of us in the working world, have been exposed to annual reviews.  (That's where you sit with a manager and discuss how/if you were successful the previous year and how you intended to improve in the NEXT 12 months.)  If you showed NO improvement, most often, your next appearance would be at the employment bureau.  You don't have to do that, now DO you?  You are content knowing, pretty much no matter what, you have privilege in guaranteed employment for the length of the elected term.  While there, you take it upon yourselves to restructure the laws, constitution and all other methods to ensure your comfort during and after your time in office.  You've re-written the meaning of "ways and means."

You wrecked a good percentage of our economy by allowing banks and corporations to swindle the living hell out of America's citizens.  Do not even THINK of telling me none of you were aware of it!  To make it WORSE, you bailed out the very perpetrators, allowed bonuses and, in your arrogance, did not prosecute or jail one single one of those irresponsible bastards!  bernie made-off vacations in a 4 star hotel, where the only bars are probably seen at happy hour.  Those cheats are fully aware of what they planned and knew what their "consequences" would be.....hell...they either wrote the laws or paid off those who DID!  Instill some fear by closing every single white collar detention center!!!  Each and every one of them needs to be in Leavenworth, guarded by unhappy veteran Marines!

I could go on and on, yet, I hope you see what I see.  A friend in Florida sends emails, ending with, "Re-Elect No One."  It's not the total answer, but perhaps it might straighten the arrow, so to speak.  Our beloved country began a major "sell a soul to the devil" parade about the time Ike departed the white house and the gates of hell are getting closer and closer.  It took approximately 200 years to make this a beautiful country and in approximately another 50 some, we've been able to chop the heck out of it.  Fix THIS country FIRST and THEN go help others, before it all goes to that proverbial hell in a hand-basket!

Do you REALLY wish our streets to look the same as in Egypt, Sudan, Syria, et al???

By the way, if we indeed DO find ourselves in hell............I don't want to share a room with a damned one of you!!!

Have a nice weekend...

Current Events

8-10-13: ESPN fires Hugh Douglas because he, who is black, used the (OMG) n word!  Too many spin-off shows dilute the airwaves, hosted by boring former athletes who now realize they should have gone to class where they got their free scholarships. Rather than be humble and grateful for what they now have, they erect a pillar whereupon they lift themselves for all to adore. Most should not be on a network set. I wonder how many hard-working anchors shudder when they are told they'll be sharing the stage with an athlete who is there by name recognition only. Color analysts are the worst, as most never shut up and let the play speak for itself or they keep reminding us how good they were. Instead of investing their high salaries, they partied instead, so join the unemployment line, fellas!

8-18-13: 10 days back, I wrote Victoria's Secret to inform them of an error on a TV commercial.  Their words were, "...body's like this..."  I explained the difference between possessive and plural.  In a few days, I was honored to receive a canned response, informing me how important was my input.  The incorrectly spelled word remains in the commercial.  So much for wondering why our countries intelligence is dwindling.  

8-19-13:  Seems as if media creates pressure in sports, as if there weren't enough without what is imposed.  As of today, there are 38 games remaining in my baseball team's schedule and we are 4.5 behind in the wild card race. For the past week, it's been suggested that if we don't win every single inning of every single game, the sky will certainly fall!  Yes, Virginia, the players DO read and hear all of this.  Remember when commentators talked about what players do when they're not playing?  Nope.  We're back in that cycle of win, win, win that began when athletes first stepped onto the field of play and parents placed pressure upon their children.

Geico insists on promoting their product via the hairy pig, this time by putting down a highway patrolman.  A constant reminder why my insurance comes from humans.

Thoughticus Accumalotis

Mini note pages accumulate when all one does is jot and put them aside, with tons of intent on expanding all those individual thoughts.  The act of admonishment shall begin when I find myself in front of a mirror, as that is where we'll discover the birth of most fault. 
My notes consist of random thoughts that most of us think about and, in forgetting to write them, they are lost.  Some are what I would have enjoyed if Andy Rooney had explored and expanded on them.  The others?  YOU decide..................................
Without further ado, or is it further I didn't?

Separated at birth #1: On-field baseball commentator Ken Rosenthal and Pee Wee Herman
                                #2: Bosox pitcher Alfredo Aceves and Actor Tommy Lee Jones
                                #3: Bosox pitcher John Lester and any EWOK
                                #4: Dave Letterman and sports talk show host Bruce Drennan

Achieve happiness by giving---neither expecting nor demanding same

You never know---until you find out

Baseball is the only sport wherein umpires have the ability to walk on water.  Their 1st commandment being, "Thou shalt NOT question me."  I wonder how they can position themselves between the batter and the catcher and successfully see the outside edge of home plate.  Have you noticed that they often are on the opposite side of the runner when a steal is attempted and are able to "see" if a tag is made or not?  Hmmm

TeeVee commercials are introducing new, improved drugs, telling us to take it if "such and such" drug isn't working.  I wonder if they have new, improved side effects.  I also "like" the new vitamins for kids who won't eat real food.  Does mommy give dressed up princess just the vitamin?  My children had supplemental vitamins...not replacements!

Great read for summer...or any other time: Wayne Dyer's, "Gifts from Eykis"

If a clock used hay bales instead of numerals, would you call it "Hour Fodder?"

Chugging Vernor's Ginger Ale is not an easy task

C'mon...can Shaq O'Neal really drive that Buick???

When someone says, "Have good one"...are we expected to know what it means???

Will the marketing geniasses ever realize that the incessant drumming during commercials and other announcements is about as captivating as a bucket of spit

Speaking of spit, I lie awake wondering how much is generated during a baseball game

The longer you're in solitary confinement, the less likely you'll run into someone you know

And, as Carmen says.................CIAO!

ET TU, Walmart?

Hmmm.  Walmart ditches American jobs for overseas labor where employees/slaves are locked in for lousy pay and conditions.  Walmart forces small businesses OUT of business to minimize paperwork and deal with only large suppliers.  Shortcuts are taken in food that jeopardize the health of millions.  Many other yet undiscovered ways of increasing the Walmart family fortunes at the suffering of others continue, yet they immediately judge Paula Deen for a not so nice incident, yet super minor when compared to the deeds of Walmart.  Same for all the retailers who immediately cut ties while they continue to lie, cheat and steal until they themselves get caught and then proclaim innocence.  Is ANYONE watching what is happening in this once proud country???

It was nice to no longer see the GEICO, (Originally Government Employees Insurance Company), hairy pig commercial shown in a convertible with a young lady with aspirations of "getting together," thereby condoning beastiality.  Thanks to all who contributed to its demise!
No sooner is that commercial gone, then BINGO!  I've just seen the same pig, (appropriately used), on a jet ski watercraft with another young lady who ditched her boyfriend for the repugnant oinker.  

What person comes up with these commercials for all to see, including children who are nowhere near driving eligibility?  Worse is the total non-caring attitude at GEICO for allowing the commercial to be made, then aired?   The commercials easily undermine the thinking of our young, impressionable children in addition to sickening the adults.  I'm certainly happy to know MY insurance company is tons more mature by not promoting sex with animals.  

I strongly urge all Americans to contact GEICO and boycott the product until they show some sense of responsibility.  Kindly forward the message to influential media, such as your local TV stations, newpapers and the likes of Oprah Winfrey. 

Happy April!!!
