Edwards: don't vote for me

democrat Presidential hopeful Edwards has some ideas he wants to put in play. and boy do they SUCK.

from this article in Concord Monitor

he'll institute a New Deal-like suite of programs to fight poverty and stem growing wealth disparity

for the love of god, why does this trend of hating the rich continue? these are the people who create work for the poor. how much longer do you think you can keep shitting on them till they just up and leave?

To do it, he said, he'll ask many Americans to make sacrifices, like paying higher taxes.

because asking the poor to get off their asses and WORK for it just wouldn't be feasible.

says the federal government should underwrite universal pre-kindergarten

right, since public schools are SOOOOOO well run right now. let's start fucking the kids up EARLIER!!!

create matching savings accounts for low-income people

translation: rob from rich and give to poor. they didn't earn it, but you're an evil bastard if you don't think they deserve it!!!

mandate a minimum wage of $9.50

let's see if we can't run small businesses into the ground even FASTER.

and provide a million new Section 8 housing vouchers for the poor

cuz that'll be cheap.

He also pledged to start a government-funded public higher education program called "College for Everyone."

how bout you fix the current college system before thrusting MORE people into it?



if i have to see a demmycrat in the oval office, i'd rather it be Obama.

Venting

- so lemme see if i get this right..... Democrats outright LIE about Rush Limbaugh (and yes that's what they did. they didn't misunderstand or take him out of context or any of that bullshit they fucking knew they were telling lies.) He turns it around on them and raises 4 million bucks for charity. Now they're trying to take credit for it. What kills me is the amount of outrage that SHOULD be out there but isn't.

- Just so all you non-technical people out there understand, if you have a computer that is 4 or 5 years old or older.... and it's running slow or you're having problems.... just buy a new one. The only way you're getting more than 5 years out of a PC is if you only run the programs it came with and you don't go online. Plain and simple.

- This week we actually had a couple days where it FELT like it was fall out. Short lived I'm afraid.

- what pisses me off the most about my love life is that when i sit and think about it, no matter how i played my cards it was inevitable i was going to end up alone, miserable, and pissed. It's lose-lose. If i could wave a wand and take all the pain of my past failed relationships away.... poof.... i lose the experiences and thus the lessons they taught. the same lessons and experiences which taught me that i will never be able to hold a relationship together. without THAT knowledge, I'll be just like all the rest of the single people out there who think "the right one just hasn't come along" and I'll keep playing the lottery of love. which leads to me getting into and failing at more relationships, which leads to the experience, which leads to right where I'm at now.

- I'd like to think i took more from my relationships than just harsh learning experiences. each girl offered something different and i miss very specific things about them. with Kristen (k1) i miss feeling an ignorant love. i loved her and i never knew an unhappy moment whenever we were together. i miss feeling that first love. with Carrie i miss the raw passion. locking eyes and knowing that you fit with that person perfectly. i hope for both our sakes we never meet again because i don't think i could keep away from her. with Yolanda i miss feeling loved. to this day i feel bad about just how much she cared about me and the relationship didn't work. and with Kristin (k2) i miss the feeling like i had actually achieved as close as I'll ever get to a family. sharing an apartment with a girlfriend and 2 cats. that's as close as i got to the white picket fence and 2.3 kids that my friends are living. i never told her but after we got kitty and jack i really did think of us as a family. maybe i should have. in any case, looking back it's all moot. no matter the girl, i find a way to screw it up. thus here i am.

With the aid of youtube, we see that Conan O'Brian is the funniest man on TV.

ASS



Best Emmy host ever.

Nationwide Cup

So i see this on ESPN.com and wonder:

Is there ANYTHING cool or macho about NASCAR anymore?

- no more Winston cup, now we got the nextel soon to be sprint cup.
- bud sponsors a driver who doesn't look old enough to drink the product.
- safety and fairness has made it so drivers can't look at each other mean without penalty.
- now the Busch series is going.

said it before, and I'll say it again, I'm not sorry i stopped following this sport. it's only going to get worse.

Hazing shmazing

interesting little story about 3 high school football players under arrest for sexual assault on another player.

first person who tries to defend their actions as "hazing gone out of control" or even brings up "hazing" should be horsewhipped till they pass out. this was attempted gay rape. like the kind that goes on in prison. nothing more. calling it "hazing" doesn't make it true any more than calling a blind person "visually impaired" gives them the ability to see.

and a newsflash to all you frat guys out there. if you ever partook in anything like this. if you shoved anything up your ass, shoved something in another guy's ass, or did anything to another guy in the nude, you're gay. go ahead and tell yourself "it's just initiation rituals" all you like. that kind of shit is queer as a 3 dollar bill.

Thought i'd just throw some links around.

Hilarious Robot Chicken. The GI Joe part is too good.

Dishwasher blues

See this is what i'm talking about.

When are illegals going to learn? We don't treat you like criminals because we hate foreigners or we're afraid of someone coming to pursue the American dream. we treat you like criminals because YOU ARE. i would think the term "illegal alien" was pretty fucking self-explanatory.

For 11 years, Pedro Zapeta, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala, lived his version of the American dream in Stuart, Florida: washing dishes and living frugally to bring money back to his home country.

remove "illegal" and we have a genuine good story. Pedro is now someone i applaud and feel good for. Oh but that isn't the case. So much for it being a good story.

Two years ago, Zapeta was ready to return to Guatemala, so he carried a duffel bag filled with $59,000 -- all the cash he had scrimped and saved over the years -- to the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

*cue ominous music*

Zapeta, who speaks no English, said he didn't know he was running afoul of U.S. law by failing to declare he was carrying more than $10,000 with him. Anyone entering or leaving the country with more than $10,000 has to fill out a one-page form declaring the money to U.S. customs.

you know what screw the customs law for a second. this guy spent 11 YEARS here and didn't bother learning english? you gotta be fucking kidding me. you wanna play the "national pride" card and say "screw you i'm not learning your language" fine. but do not fucking expect us to cut you any slack when you can't comprende our laws because you can't communicate in OUR language jerkoff.

Officials initially accused Zapeta of being a courier for the drug trade, but they dropped the allegation once he produced pay stubs from restaurants where he had worked.

let's see, hispanic guy who doesn't speak english walking into an airport with 59 Gs in a duffle bag. nope i'm as shocked as you are that any red flags went up. what a bunch of racist bastards.

"They are treating me like a criminal when all I am is a working man," he said.

bad news Pedro. you're BOTH. being a working man does not cancel out the criminal part. sorry.

Zapeta's story became public last year on CNN and in The Palm Beach Post newspaper, prompting well-wishers to give him nearly $10,000 -- money that now sits in a trust.

Robert Gershman, one of Zapeta's attorneys, said federal prosecutors later offered his client a deal: He could take $10,000 of the original cash seized, plus $9,000 in donations as long as he didn't talk publicly and left the country immediately.

Zapeta said, "No." He wanted all his money. He'd earned it, he said.

Now, according to Gershman, the Internal Revenue Service wants access to the donated cash to cover taxes on the donations and on the money Zapeta made as a dishwasher. Zapeta admits he never paid taxes.

ok so now we can throw tax evasion on the list. boy you really don't think ANY of our laws apply to you do you Pedro? See this is what i mean. i can understand and respect to degree, someone fighting for a chance to make their lives better. but this whole "fuck you America i'll come do whatever i please how DARE you get in my way with your LAWS and RULES" attitude has got to fucking go. i hope Pedro gets tossed out on his ass.

Help me out here

Maybe i'm just crazy, but i could have sworn that civil rights....due process....all that stuff. Applied to LEGAL CITIZENS only.

Moron ex soldier

Some jackass is trying to "make a difference"

a soldier is returning his medals in protest. he says he feels the war is a waste to taxpayer money and has accomplished nothing.

oh did i mention this retard

- did just 1 year
- in the army reserve
- spent his time issuing ammo to the REAL soldiers
- never fired a weapon

oh my god, we should all listen to this guy!!! he's got the pulse of the WHOLE WAR figured out totally!!!! he's in a position to tell us how EVERYTHING is really going. i mean, why listen to Generals who run the whole thing when we can take a clue from some supply jockey passing out ammo instead of shooting it?

I'm predicting this guy will be on Bill Mahar's show in a month. He loves the morons. then again, i heard he loves the cock too.

Commercials

Commercials have gone nuts. It's a hodge-podge of insanity, non-logic, or total BS.

- Burger King hasn't made a normal commercial in years. in fact, i can't remember the last normal commercial they had. there sure as hell hasn't been a normal one since they introduced the bobblehead-looking King. That fucker is creepy. i don't look at that and say, "mmmm.....whoppers...." i think "that bastard comes near me i'm cracking his giant head open and feasting on the goo inside."

- Visa. yes, of course i believe that the touch-and-go cards work THAT fast. look, i'm all for using a card over cash but come ON. this assembly-line horseshit is retarded. i dunno about the rest of you, but i know that for some reason i ALWAYS get stuck in line behind some dumbass who takes 10 minutes to buy a stick of gum. to add to the frustration of it, after i wait 10 minutes in line you know how long it take ME to check out? like 20 seconds. yeah. oh and while we're on the Visa commercials, i laugh out loud when the Saints one comes on. you mean the 0-2 saints? those sucky bunch of sucks that ever sucked a suck? i think we're all tired of New Orleans now. i know i was from the start. Soon as this abortion of a season comes to a close for them and everyone returns to reality and says "oh yeah, nobody ever liked the saints to begin with". then the owner move forward with what he was already trying to do pre-katrina, move the team to a town that isn't a shithole.

- I read that Alicia Silverstone (didn't she used to be a movie star or something?) appears nude in a PETA ad. Those cockjockeys can try all they like to spin this as "we're trying to educate people on the cruelty going on" all they fucking please. It's nothing more than holier-than-thou fucktards telling people how to live their life. plain and simple. same as environmentalist assholes, religions, and pretty much every politician ever.

- oh and i almost forgot. COORS. those guys talking to clips of coaches. NOT FUNNY. not even close. it's sad. Miller? while i enjoy what's his name from Scrubs, this whole "one beer league" thing is just another pathetic commercial in a long string of "please stop drinking budweiser" commercials. i've said it before and i'll say it again: nothing says "we're bitter losers and all we can think of is to take shots at the guy who's #1" like a commercial that directly attacks a competitor. sad. Budweiser just focuses on making funny as hell commercials. maybe the rest of you losers should focus on making better BEER.

- Domino's pizza. the oreo pizza beard thing? creepy. not to mention stupid.

Sad News

I'm very sad to report that i just read that Robert Jordan, author of The Wheel of Time series has passed away.

I'll admit i am not caught up on the series, but I'm a big fan of his work. His writing was amazing.

Thought I'd share that I've even met him. He did a book signing in The DC area and i went there with Kristin to get an autographed copy.

A true loss to us all.

Sports and stuff

- Ok let's get something straight. Every single team in the NFL has been or is still doing what the Pats did. No exceptions. If you honestly think the Pats are alone in what they did then you are the dumbest bastard on the planet or insanely naive and i have a bridge to sell you. The only difference between them and the other teams? They got caught. Why did they get caught? Because they obviously aren't that good at cheating. Now ask yourself "why would a team not be good at cheating?" maybe because they aren't used to it and haven't needed to? Sounds logical to me. The part I hate is all the crybaby sore losers with sand in their vaginas like the Eagles. "oh yeah, now that we think about it, maybe we lost the Superbowl because of THAT not because we sucked." go fuck yourself Philly.

- I like how my fantasy football season is going so far. Last week I cleaned up. HARD.

- This week promises to be a plethora of releases. Jefe, do you know what a "plethora" is? anyways, the game "World In Conflict" comes out. played the demo and it's pretty cool. Superman:Doomsday is out on DVD. Not really sure about that. and friday the new Resident Evil movie comes out. I liked both the first 2 so i'm game to see this one.

- i leave you with a totally awesome commercial.

Clarify please

So lemme see if i get this right.

oil companies make product, sell product, make profit like every single business on the planet is doing.

entertainment industry makes about a couple 1000% profit on what it costs to make movies, CDs, concerts, tv shows....etc..... they openly mock anyone who isn't them, have open disdain for the poor, openly advocate violence against government officials, provide aid and comfort to forces hostile to this country, sue their own customers, continue to find more and more intrusive ways to spy on their customers.... and now they're trying to put 19 year old girls in jail.

and the OIL companies are the evil organizations?

stop the world i wanna get off please.

well the era of the camaro is over for jimmy. at least for now. rising gas prices and long commute has forced me to find something better on gas than the camaro. so as of now i am driving

2006 chevy silverado.

yes i know what you're about to say.... "jimmy, trucks aren't known for GOOD gas milage!!!!!"

you'll note i said "better on gas THAN THE CAMARO" this is for 2 reasons.

1 - V6 not a V8
2 - takes regular not super

it's a real switch going from sports car to truck.

i'm not going to complain, my camaro and i had a great 112,000 miles. and as soon as i can i'll just get the new camaro that comes out in a few years.

my the way, i got the truck with 5000 miles on it, so pretty much brand new at a GREAT deal.

here's some pics.

Best of Titus

Hardass

This is one of the funniest scenes from Titus. Too funny.

Cat fan

This video never gets old. Still funny.

Gumble

I just gained a whole lot of respect for Bryant Gumble.

101 Simpsons quotes

Some are actually just 2 lines in the same conversation, but hey it's still funny.

I'd like to also point out that no quotes are from past the 8th or 9th season. Since that's when the show ceased being funny.

anyway, here you go.
