Thank you for smoking

I smoke cigarettes. I have smoked for decades. I enjoy smoking. As the saying goes, "too old to care & to addicted to quit." I smoke in my house, my car, my back yard, my front yard, anywhere that if it is legal to smoke, I smoke.
I try not to smoke around non smokers in public. i.e. the streets or outdoor events. If I do smoke at these events, I find a open area & I do not blow smoke in the direction of nonsmokers. This is done out of a sense of civility, not out of concern for the supposed effects of "second hand smoke." I am smoking now, even as I type this blog. It is so tasty. That said, on with the show

I stream via Netflex. Lately, I have been watching British cop shows such as "A touch of Frost", "Inspector Lewis" & my personal favorite, "Midsomer Murders." If you're unfamiliar with "Midsomer Murders", look it up on Wikipedia. 13 seasons & counting. It offers a great cast, plot lines & is intelligently written.
Recently, while watching an episode of season 11, I noticed that on a dark & chilly night, while a murder was about to be committed, a barmaid, witnessed the two antagonist (one was brandishing a firearm) having a heated argument.
These two people then walked off to a semi secluded space. A gun shot was heard off camera & one of the two ran off & was seen by another woman standing on the street corner. The commonality of the witnesses is that they were both outside, enjoying a cigarette. Both witnesses provided essential information & were instrumental in helping the "coppers" solve the crime.

My hypothesis, is the logical assumption that smokers have now become crime fighters. You can have your "Batman" your "Kojack" your "Dick Tracy"
& the countless others involved in crime solving. Without us, the average
smoker, outside in all kinds of weather, crime would be running rampant.
So the next time all you nonsmokers see us enjoying our addiction, don't condemn us. Lighten up & light up. The next crime solved could involve you. Smokers unite & ignite. Lets help keep the world a safer place.

Reform this you government peculators

The Social Security System is not broke. It has never been broke. It will never be broke. Let me qualify that last statement.

Since the 1980's our beloved federal government has been stealing the SSS surpluses to pay for other programs that strike their fancy. Presidents Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II & now Obama have perpetrated this thievery on the American public. Where do you think the money comes from to pay for the Wall Street & auto makers bailout? How about the Iraq & Afghanistan wars? Both political parties are equally guilty. They have pissed away this money.

All surplus revenues, which by the way are paid for with with your earmarked tax dollars collected from you payroll tax (FICA) were going into a special Social Security trust fund at the U.S. Treasury. In the fund is Treasury IOUs for the spent revenues. When the “trust funds” are needed to pay Social Security benefits, the Treasury will have to sell more debt in order to redeem the IOUs. These T Bills, which the public "purchases" offer some of the lowest interest rate on the planet.

Social Security now "owns" nearly 18 percent of the federal debt, making it the largest single holder of US debt. The government owes almost twice as much to Social Security as it does to China.

Through the decades, the Feds have "borrowed" trillions of dollars from Social Security. Last count was 2.5 trillion & climbing. When the US decides to default on money owed to Social Security, which they will because they can, the public who have worked their entire lives will be left out in the cold without so much a blanket to keep warm. That blanket was supposed to be Social Security.

Amy Winehouse shuffled off this mortal coil last week. Boo hoo fucking hoo. She assumed room temperature from an overdose of overindulgence. Another case of someone with talent who lacks the talent for living. Whether she lacked support from friends, management or whomever, she was a death that was waiting to happen. The big surprise in all of this, is that it took so long to happen.

Face it. She doomed herself years ago with her chosen lifestyle. How many times to you continually go to rehab & celebrate getting out by getting drunk & doing hard drugs within a week of release? What is so ghoulish about her death are those who are so quick to ascend her into the martyr hall of fame, & the sudden increase of her CD sales as a result of her passing. Unless she showed extraordinary musical talent, (which was questionable) Amy was destined to be a footnote in the history of music. Another flaming star that quickly faded for whatever reason. Life is incredibly hard. It gets no better with age, which perhaps luckily, Amy Winehouse will not find out. You know. I just don,t fucking care!

Bits & Pieces

You know how life insurance policies have the clause excluding payment if death is caused by an act of God. If you're an atheist, do you even bother getting insurance? Do you sue the insurance company & make them prove that God exists? What is an act of God? According to the Bible, acts of God , to name a few, were parting of the Red Sea, creation, plagues, floods & the infamous burning bush. (Careful of that bikini wax ladies.) If flooding is considered an act of God, per the Bible, why do insurance companies offer flood insurance?

Back in the late 30's or early 40's, one of the most celebrated party givers, movie star, Broadway star & overall bonne vivant was Tallulah Bankhead. She once gave a party & invited the Marx Brothers. Well Chico Marx was at that time in lust with Miss Bankhead & wanted to have sex with her. As the story goes, he approached her & said, "Tallulah, I really want to fuck you. " To which Tallulah replied" And so you shall dear boy, so you shall." Truly a broad with style.

Every year as more & more of the Nixon tapes & documents are released, they continue to show how hard "Tricky Dickie" tried to thwart the Constitution of the United States to suppress opposition & the illegal use of federal agencies (FBI, CIA, IRS) to screw over the people on his enemies list, & the illegal bombing of Laos & Cambodia. The list goes on. When that asshole took a dirt nap, he was afforded all the bullshit tributes from the then current President Bill Clinton , former Presidents & various statesmen. Jesus H. Christ, Clinton even proclaimed a national day of mourning.

Throughout our history, the United States has had stupid Presidents, incompetent Presidents & corrupt Presidents. No one was more evil than Richard Milhouse Nixon. Darth Vader was in the White House. I reached adulthood in the late 60's & saw first hand what that fascist tried to do to this country. And no, I cannot let it go. To this day I still hope someone drove a stake through his heart to make sure he stays dead. We came perilously close to having a dictatorship established in the USA.

Final thought. Someone needs to abolish Congress. Who the hell are they really working for?

Wham bam thank you ma'am

Today, whilst fixing breakfast, ABC's Good Morning America was in the background .

They had a story about Halle Barry's stalker etc.

Pretty sad all the sickos out there.

The bizarre thing was, they had an interview with Paris Hilton regarding her experience with a stalker.

Who the fuck is she kidding? You don't have to stalk Paris Hilton... just have TMZ set up at your house & the publicity slut will show up at your door in minutes.

You gotta love the need to create these minor league celebrities.

The list is endless.

F%@k Fox

Well they're at it again.

For the last week a half, the powers that be at Fox Noise have chosen a topic to inflame the public, and they keep fanning those same self created flames. It's the Casey Anthony verdict.

If you don't know the background of the charges & the trial itself, stop reading now.

Anyway, the jury found the defendant ( Casey Anthony ) not guilty. In the jury's own words, the prosecution failed to prove their case.

That's not good enough for the Fox folks. Why use a match when a flamethrower will do.

In the Fox Noise typical overreaction & moral indignation, they interviewed Ms. Anthony's ex fiance, uncles, cousins, aunts, neighbors and anyone who was of similar opinion that a major miscarriage of justice was perpetrated upon the American public. Kill that bitch. Execute her now.

They only naysayer going against the Fox Noise credo, believe it or not, was Jerry Rivers, or as he's known on the network, Geraldo Rivera.

Geraldo actually took on one of Fox Noise's ,major fascist contributors, Bernie Goldberg. After Bernie put his line of crap out there to further incite the mob, Geraldo, in a nice piece of lawyer speak, told Bernie to shove it up & break it off. Reminding Bernie that he was not a lawyer, or judge.

The jury found her not guilty. Case not proven. Move on with your life.

Well after inciting the mob for over a week, the asswipes on their morning show were shocked that some of the jury were scared for their lives. Some had quit their jobs, some were moving out of state.

And as of today 7/12/2011, the beat goes on. Those self righteous peckerwoods won't be happy until someone takes out (kills) Casey Anthony. Then Fox Noise can do a month on gun owners rights.

P.S.

Where was Fox Noise's moral indignation when David Vitter (R) Senator from Louisiana was arrested for having sex with Whores. (prostitutes) Not reported at all on Fox. That asshole is still in office.

Where was Fox Noise's moral indignation when John Ensign, former (R) Senator from Utah was charged by a Senate investigating committee of having sex with a staff member (female), bribing her husband with a lobbying job & lying to the Senate about those events. Ensign resigned 24 hours before the report was made public & he could be arrested. Not reported.

So boys & girls, once again, Fox Noise has given ample reason to get f#%ked.

On the lighter side. Rupert Murdoch, the owner of the Fox empire had to close down one of his tabloids (News of the World) the other day amidst a scandal involving hacking into crime victims emails & cell phones.

These intrepid reporters also hacked into & stole private files (bank statements, medical records) of politicians, doctors & people associated with the Royal Family. The police were also bribed by these same reporters so they could get juicy tidbits to publish. Example: A judge got busted for sex with a boy & the cops tipped off the reporters So they got the story first.

One of the main targets appears to be former British PM, Gordon Brown.

Several reporters have been arrested as well as one former editor. Another former editor, who now runs Murdoch's "Wall Street Journal" may face charges of lying to Parliament during the initial investigation. (2007 & 2009) Scotland Yard continues to investigate some of the more serious alleged crimes. Such as James Murdoch (spawn of the Devil) who oversees the Murdoch operations in the United Kingdom, signing a check for 1 million dollars speculated to be "hush money" & in his own words "misleading Parliament". His own words. All this has led to Murdoch's empire losing 3 billion dollars in one day & putting in jeopardy his purchase of British Sky Broadcasting Group. Sometimes bad things do happen to bad people.

This, that & the other (the gift that keeps on giving)

By now you've heard all the pundits trying out for "America's Got Talent" with their Anthony Wiener jokes

Wiener in hot water

Wiener gets roasted

Wiener to be grilled etc, etc.

They would be pretty funny if the situation wasn't so tragic.

Here is another example of a politician thinking they are bulletproof. Another politician betraying the public trust with their suspect moral character. Hey goofballs, it's the electronic age.... there ain't no secrets. Just resign for the Christ sake. You are a disgrace & a liability. Oh yeah. Grow the fuck up.

LeBron James the Donald Trump of athletes. What a arrogant, egotistical, clueless #@%*&#@$*@.

You now represent everything that the public despises about over paid ballplayers. In the off season, I expect the proverbial "other shoe to drop", by you committing a felonious act. You will show no contrition & buy your way out of what would be a mandatory prison sentence for any non "superstar. Hey LeBron, is that your picture in Webster's Dictionary right next to the definition of LOSER.

Mitt Romney: Claims to have created jobs. Falsehood. This liar made his fortune by buying businesses at bargain prices, laying off thousands while outsourcing their old jobs & finally running the companies into bankruptcy. Nice guy.

Finally. Former MN Governor & Presidential wannabe Tim Pawlenty. Or as the Republican hipsters call him.... T-Paw. As if any one who is even remotely hip would vote for this inept

incompetent liar.

Background: Pawlenty take over as Gov. in 2002. Inherits a huge budget surplus & in the space of 2 years runs it up to a $4.56 billion deficit. He cuts education spending. Cuts Corporate taxes by 20%, Increases fees (camping permits, driver license,fishing & hunting licenses & all things that affect the general public) That was his double speak for keeping his campaign promise of not raising taxes. Cuts aid to cities, forcing them to increase property taxes. See, it's not T-Paws fault. A complete failure as Governor.

As to the liar part... last week, while courting the loonies, he appeared on Fox Noise & stated that the top 2% income earners in the USA accounted for 70% of all taxes paid. Maybe to some foreign country where all their off shore accounts are hidden.

If he couldn't manage the budget for the state of Minnesota, just think of the possibilities of him running the federal government. Best sell those treasury bonds now .
