Half Way Through The Year


I wanted to just say thanks to anyone who reads this blog and ask folks to drop a comment on my ass. Let me know where you are, who you are, and any good or bad feedback.

I don't do this for money, I get zippy. Just fun, and I am glad some people read/listen/laugh along. So please drop me a note...

And as always, thanks Mom!

Your Tax Dollars

There is a term being heard all across the Federal Government these days, and it happens every year at this time.

"Spend it of you won't get it next year". The Feds say it with pride.

This is the term I heard at the NSF and the NIH over and over, year after year.

The end of summer sees a spending spree across the HHS, EPA, pick one. They run around and buy anything they can think of, just so they spent all of their budget. Thus ensuring they will get the same level of funding, or more, the following year.

The waste I saw made me sick. Giant printers that sat dormant in a corner, hundreds of large flat screen monitors (that replaced fairly new CRT monitors), wallpaper (this seems to be replaced every 3 or 4 years), projectors for conference rooms, big screen TVs and software that no one will ever use (like Acrobat Pro for a bunch of people who never create PDF files!).

I was fired for complaining about the last one, ok "technically" I was laid off. I asked the question: "Why not give it back"? I was told it was "very complicated". So complicated that you hear "Spend it of you won't get it next year" all over the place. Right...

Good Little Read

Race

Heard a lot of talk about Race on the political talk shows. It really came down to financial in-equality (it came up every time). To that, I would say: Finish High School! The drop-out rates for minorities is directly correlated to lower pay. Pretty damn simple if you ask me. This also directly correlates to prison demographics. I only heard this mentioned once and no one second the statement.

The White House and Congress can't fix this, it's up to the parents, and they need to step up and take responsibility for their kids.

We need an hour long, annual class, that stresses the statistical results of dropping out of school. It should be shown at Parents Night, at the schools, and should be mandatory if people want their kids in Public Schools.

The implosion/division the "T-Party" (the T stands for any of the following: Twat, Tit, Tupid, Trash or Tard). Sorry to offend the mentally handicapped, I am an ass.

It is going to be amazing to watch this injection of political "clout" strip their own "leaders" (guys in the closet) of all chance to win.

I hope there is never a "Dem-Party" movement (the D stands for: Dimwit, dullard, dumb ass, dusche)

GaGa Protests

Tone deaf???

The God Hates Fags site seems peeved with Lady GaGa:

Scottrade Center - Lady Gaga Concert 1401 Clark Ave. WBC to picket Lady Gaga at Scottrade Center. Now what type of wicked hypocrites would we be if we did not warn this little false prophetess and all of her over-indulged sycophants that they are each one, individually heading straight to hell in a gender-confused, self-loathing, tone-deaf hand basket and that a gift from the God they hate? So, we made a couple of songs just for this event. You like Gaga's songs? Here's some lines from two of WBC's parodies of them: Poker face, revamped as No Poker Face: "You wanna strut like you're unique, but baby please "Monster," "Lady GayGay," "Show your teeth," "This is all me." (God hates you) Fake "love" substitution is your game; you're just a fraud But any half-wit sees your hate for fans and for your God . . . You pissed off God, you'll see what he's got!. . . You ain't got You ain't got No you ain't got no poker face (You show your filth to everybody) You just got, You just got, Yeah, you just got your whorish face (Show your filth to everybody)" Go to the audio or videos section to see/read more on this. To Telephone: "Shut up, shut up, Rebel You talk; God don't hear a thing. All you got is lust, no will to just obey, obey Wha-wha-what did you say? You think God loves your praying? He hates all you do Cause you love fornicating F-fornicating F-fornicating He hates all you do Cause you love fornicating . . . Stop prayin', stop prayin', God will not hear you anymore You taught the boys & the girls to be proud whores Stop prayin', stop prayin', God will not hear you anymore You taught the boys & the girls to be proud whores Just stop prayin' to him; he's busy! Just stop prayin' to him; he's busy! Can pray if you want, but you got no hope Only hell where you will forever burn Go, devil spawn, you just keep pushin' on To the hell where you will forever burn . . . We're sorry, the God you're trying to reach won't hear your crap at this time Please shut your trap and never try again." Now those are words you need (one and all) more than air to breath or water to drink. Praise God all ye who fear Him! AMEN!

Fucking idiots are all around us. May god save them. Oh, right, there is no god and they are doomed to die like the rest of us. I guess we can enjoy the ride called "life" and try to have some fun, or fill ourselves with hate and worship a god (pick one).

The Abortion-Breast Cancer Risk

Ok, you idiots are trying to call oral contraceptives "abortion". They are not. They simply prevent a viable egg from being present in the uterus. It's never fertilized, so no "life" ever exists.

If a drug causes cancer, that is one thing, but calling it an abortion drug is very different. If a drug makes people sick, stop taking it and cross your legs ladies.

If anything, this crap will drive girls to stop oral contraception drugs and have to get MORE ABORTIONS! Try to come to the middle a little, and we can all work through this issue.

Goldman coughs up $550 Million to make the problem go way. It's a pittance to them as a whole, but a win for the people Goldman ripped off.

It's on top of the banking regulation passing and BP closing their mess in the Gulf. I feel like I am on a cloud here!

Google Street View Spies!!

Funny, considering, the car keeps moving, the most it could log, it the fact that an open wireless Internet connection exists. I expect the thought was; Google could map open Wi-Fi at coffee houses?

The fact that they wound up identifying personal (not private) wi-fi areas is not Google's fault. I hate defending the much overgrown Google.

They were [probably] just trying to provide a valid customer service, but to date, I have not heard them admit it. I expect it breaks some law, somewhere.

The FACT is, anyone with an unsecured wireless network is wide open to anyone in the vicinity connecting and riding on their Internet connection. A passing car is the least of their worries, and they should be thankful that this has been brought to their attention.

I would LOVE to be at a Congressional Hearing on this, on the record..

Michael Steele Steps In It

I know the Republicans wanted a black guy to try to combat the Obama effect and draw in some black voters with his smiling face, but I don't get it. At this point, if he is removed, it will just further dishearten black voters, so they are stuck with him.

Turn up the volume (all the way) and hear Mike calling the Afghanistan war Obama's choice, and not something America would want.

I think quite a few Republicans would have to disagree with him. He seems totally out of touch with his party. Maybe he is really a democrat plant?? Go for it Mike.

The Greaterst Human Lightshow (Nukes In Space)

Narrated by Bill Shatner!


The whole story is here; http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128170775

Don Geronimo

Back in 1987 I moved to the Washington DC area and first became exposed to Don Geronimo. He was a "team" with Mike Omeara then and for many years I listened to Don And Mike. The two offset each other very well, they were a team.

After Don's wife died a few years ago, the show split up. Don wanted a change (understandable). I frankly think it was more than the tragedy he went through. It hadn't been the same show in quite a while before Don's wife died.

After the split Mike carried on with a solo show, shaky at first, but caught traction. It was a struggle, because Don took the fabric of the original show with him (all the sound effects/games) and left Mike with a blank slate. Mike has been writing on his new slate..

Interesting that Don "needed the separation" but took all of the games they played, and the sounds of the show; with him? He didn't want that big of a break.

In effect, he took the show that others had built(Robb/Buzz/producers), with him, lock stock and barrel, to new little markets.

I listened to a few segments of the latest Don Geronimo incarnation (KHTK, AM LOL) today, and didn't finish either. You can take all of the sound effects, games and trademarks of a "team show" and hug them to your chest, and run away. You might even have some success. But you will not have that chemistry; That which was cemented, the day you met Mike, and both shared a silly kid's rhyme.
