Australia Is Nutz

Ok, a Church "leader" gets a 14 year old girl drunk, then rapes her. Fucking terrible.

Then he tied her up and set her on fire with gasoline and a match. Insanity or just evil?

She lives, but is horribly disfigured and traumatized.

So the "Church leader" gets 21 years jail, with a chance of parole in 16 years? So when he is 41 years old you might let him back into the free world?

Afghanistan Is Going Great! (NOT)

The head of the Central Bank (Abdul Qadeer Fitrat) fled the country, because he was calling people out on corrution, then they wanted to kill him:

Then Karzai tosses out 1/4 of Parlaiment (totally against their Constitution) using a special court. The court tells press that other countries should not meddle in Afghan business:

Me, I just wonder why the fuck we are still there?? They are all corrupt, they won't learn. Train up the Army and get the hell out...

RIP Peter Falk


I had seen Peter in old episodes of The Twilight Zone and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour. The Great Race was one of my favorite movies EVER, so go see him, Jack Lemon and Tony Curtis in it (with your kids). He was also occasionally on The Red Skelton Hour (and Laugh in I think?).

Then he appeared in Columbo. The show was on about the same time as Rockford Files, and both shows were insanely popular. I loved the character, and Peter. He was one of the best straight faced comics to ever stand in front of a camera (a-la Buster Keaton).

But knowing his Columbo character so well, I can't help expecting him to sit up in his coffin at the viewing, and ask "Oh, one more thing.."

Why Montgomery County Maryland Sucks


Well, besides having some of the highest taxes in the USA, they have terrible services and lots of potholes. I do have to mention the Stop Lights (traffic signals).

On my way home from work today (5 miles), I had to suffer transversing 15 stop lights. Of the 15, I arrived at only two that were "Green" (as in go).

I seriously think Montgomery County's 30 year traffic plan, includes wasting the maximum amount of fossil fuels. Look at the Inter County Connector (ICC) MD 200. Every interchange on this toll road, is designed to minimize speedy passage, and increase fuel waste.

The roads in the County cover 3000 miles, and they have 1500 controlled traffic signals (some others are on autopilot). So on average, you have one controlled traffic signal every 1/2 mile.

There are huge parts of the northern area in the county that have no traffic lights at all, so these buggers are concentrated in the most populated cites.

There are roads in the county that go for miles and have traffic signals at distances averaging every 100 yards. It's insane, and they manage to program them to make you wait in both directions, always.

"They" claim that slowing traffic down along all roads, prevents big bottle-necks at pinch points around the County. Me, I think setting all these lights to flashing yellow or red (especially on smaller roads) will make everyone's commute faster/save gas/ease road rage.

Think about it you "planners"?

Crystal Is The Black Widow...

I heard about her dumping Hugh Hefner last week, but this bitch timed her departure to match some music release I will never hear. And also too late for Playboy to unprint the July issue of the magazine.


I can't think of an example of a more conniving bitch, and I can't believe Hefner fell for it. Must be getting old? Sad thing is, no one inside protected him, and the brand.

ICE Steps It Up

DHS is going after illegals. I guess it makes sense, we are stuck in corporate blackmail (let me say that again, Corporate Blackmail) since Obama was elected. The big companies refuse to hire or grow, because there is a black Democrat in office.  Try to duck this...

So we have little choice in the effort to get unemployment numbers down. Estimates say we have 15 million unemployed Americans, and 12 million illegal immigrants. You do the math, and I support e-Verify implementation in every state. We do at my office, no problem at all.

U2 Gets A Message From Space

US House Committe Costs

I started to look at these individually, but I really have to do a cost summary.

Committee on the Judiciary - $16,802,812.46
Committee on the Budget - $12,066,370
(Paul Ryan's plan, cut Medicare to help pay $12M for my Committee)
Committee on Ethics - $5,868,310.55
Committee on the Judiciary - $16,802,812.46
(where does the 46 cents come from?)
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence - $10,307,500

There are SOO many more.. Just go here and do a search for all bills. The ones I covered above are way near the last page..

I am sure these costs are above the basic cost of Congress' budget request, they are separate bills..

Florida's Drug Test For Welfare

"My weiner is this big"

OK, good move! Thumbs up for Rick Scott!  Yeah!!!!

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/06/01/florida.welfare.drug.testing/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

Yes, these drug taking poor people, leave them on the street. No rehab for your sorry asses! Take your babies and live in the Everglades.. Eat frogs..

At the same time, Rick fully opposes all abortions, even if these poor people pop out more poor people, who will take drugs. So get all these little drug babies into the swamps to fend for themselves... Get off the backs of the rich people. Keep having babies, doing drugs, spreading aids, and live in the swamp. Nice State Flori-duh is.

Just something I noticed, Rick looks like Max Headroom.  He is nowhere as cool..

I Had A Baby Today

Well, it wasn't my baby. I got home from work and changed into shorts and T-Shirt, checked the home email, went out front for a smoke.

I see this toddler, barely able to walk, waddling around in the middle of the street in front of the house. There was a car stopped, because there was a baby in the road! Once the baby waddled to one side, the car left. Left the baby standing there on the street. You fucking asshole.

Another resident across the street came out, got his mail, and left the baby alone in the street. You fucking asshole.

Do people really have no compassion anymore? Just leave a wandering baby all alone? Yes, people do.

So I got the baby into my yard by picking up the softball it was playing with and motioning it over there. Once away from the street I stuck my head in the door and had my son bring me my cell phone. I called 911 and gave them the vitals on the kid and they said they were sending an officer.

Fifteen minutes go by, as I (and my son) keep the baby from heading off across the field to the playground. At one point the baby say down and motioned us to do the same. After a few minutes sitting the baby put up it's arms wanting to get back up. Ok, back to playing with the ball...

The cop shows up and he asks me to stay with the baby while he and his partner (en-route) start knocking on doors.

This is when Dad appears, looking very relieved to find his baby. The kid yelled "daddy"! I knew this was over, but I wanted to see what the cop would do. He asked senior daddy what happened and dad said something about loading up a truck. The cop let it go, then senorita showed up looking upset, but picked up her baby lovingly (I was worried there might be anger). Everyone left..

In retrospect, I lost my 5 year old son in the mall once (I should say, he lost me). So I understand how these things happen, and how the parent feels.  But he was 5, not a toddler.  Never lost a toddler.

Greece To Get $12BN Euro Bailout

http://english.aljazeera.net/news/europe/2011/06/20116321272236999.html

I guess what pisses me off, is the Euro is tied to the dollar, through the World Bank, so America is borrowing money to help pay for this..

Really, someone has to realise that the world's "monetary system" is a complete failure. We need to go back to trading shells for chickens.
