Like most of America, I want sweeping reforms in government. I thought President Elect Obama was on the same page. That is, until I read he was meeting with Al Gore to discuss environmental policies in Chicago. Now, I'm not so sure.
Ex-V.P. Gore, touted by many to be an environmental visionary....father of the internet, etc., winner of the Nobel Prize, is a fraud. Why Obama would seek to surround himself with doomsayers and shaman is beyond my comprehension. Gore is one such person. He runs from town to town evoking the global warming boogeyman, while filling the air with hazardous chemicals every time his aircraft take to the sky. Further, his residence in Tennessee is one of the largest consumers of electric power in the state. And if that wasn't enough to prove how hypocritical the man is, he has the gall to scam Americans out of millions of dollars by selling a service online to people who feel guilty for using gasoline and electricity to "offset their carbon foot print" as it were. Penn and Teller got it right folks, Al Gore is Bull Shit! Which leaves me with nothing to say but, GIVE ME A FREAKING BREAK ALREADY!
Here's a thought Mr. President Elect: Instead of going to known hacks for advice, why don't you get onboard with a true ecological visionary like T. Boone Pickens. Advocate moneys to get the scientific community off it's collective butts and pioneer new technology to advance the cleaning of our air and water as well as find alternatives to current power methods. I'm sure if there were a 50 million dollar reward offered for a viable alternate fuel source, a lot of people would get their brilliant minds busy on a solution, don't you agree?

Why LiLo, why?
I spent most of the day crying on the inside. Why? I broke my own taboo and watched the freaking news again. Every time I turn on the news I see terrible things that make me sick at heart.
But, somehow, this time was much worse. Today I learned everything I have been lead to believe is a lie. No, Virginia, there is NO Santa Claus! And do you want to know why? Linsey Lohan is GAY!
I know! How could such a sumptuous example of feminine perfection be a crotch cannibal? It just isn't fair! I'm talking about the woman who made me feel like a dirty old man for watching Georgia Rules about a thousand times...but in a GOOD way! Ugh! Dare I say it? GIMME A FREAKING BREAK ALREADY!!!!!!
What the hell is happening to our culture? A buddy of mine told me one of his students was parading around wearing a I-heart-Edward shirt....a DUDE! Is it really true? Is it the REAL Happening? Someone hypothesized that when an area becomes over-populated, a portion of the population turns gay as a natural defense mechanism to trim the herd. Is the human race being culled? If so....WHY'D IT HAVE TO BE LYNDSEY? Huh? WHY? Why couldn't it be Janet Reno or Doctor Ruth? What's wrong with taking them? Oh, Mother Nature, what a cruel and twisted bitch thou art!

Christmas Chaos
Ho-Ho-Ho-Dee-Freaking Phone! What the hell is wrong with everybody? People are D. E. A. D.,
freaking DEAD over SHOPPING! I remember the parents rumbling in the toy stores to get the cutest Cabbage Patch Kid; Those dimply-cheeked cherubs from the ninth pit of hell. Those things were really creepy, so much so, my DOG freaked out around them and destroyed them on sight. Still, if little Suzy wants a Cabbage Patch Kid...we's a gonna go get her one, even if we have to fight for it. I thought that insanity went out with the 80's, but I was wrong!
Seen the news lately? Black Friday shopping accounted for the loss of three lives. I know you don't want to disappoint your children, Mr. and Mrs. American Consumer, but GIVE ME A FREAKING BREAK ALREADY! Your kids will get over it, or build the bossest collection of toys ever when they grow up, so don't sweat it. Here's a tip. Check out what's hot at the toy expo online in July and go ahead and buy them. You can hide them at that relative's house, you know the one...no kids, always walking around in their underwear....talking to themselves...yeah, that one. No one will ever think to look for those presents there! Come holiday season, you'll be relaxed and grinning like a possum eating dog doo-doo while you kick back and watch your family and friends going nuts trying to find what you bought six months ago. Better still, buy several of each...so you can sell them to annoying people for a premium. Ho-Ho-Ho-Dee-Har-Har! Happy Holidays!

Desensitizing America
Every time I turn around, someone's on the news crying about being offended by someone's remarks. The most recent thing to come to my attention was a HOCKEY player being suspended indefinitely for what I thought was a very benign remark about other players seeking to have relationships with his ex-girl friends. Yeah....you know what time it is....GIVE ME A FREAKING BREAK ALREADY!
The day politics took center stage in the business of sporting events was a very sad day indeed. On behalf of sports enthusiasts everywhere, I'm sorry. My condolences to the Dallas Stars for losing a key player to politics and stuffy idiots the NHL would be better off without. Hey, I tune in for the fights....red ice, baby, so when they try to sensitize hockey, I can't help but feel the world is going straight to hell. What's next, mandatory anger management for all players? Quit trying to shape the world to your cross-dressing ideals you toss-pot jerk-offs!
As for the rest of you...if you don't like a remark someone makes, either get up and leave, turn the channel, quit reading the article, or kick their freaking ass! That's how JFK did it, that's how America SHOULD do it. I, for one, will NEVER change the tone of my words to accommodate the mewling over-sensitive masses. I long for a better day, when putting your boot in someone's ass is overlooked if they make a nasty comment, thus making individuals think a bit more before opening their mouths. It's human nature to knock the hell out of something that annoys you. We, as a people are being dehumanized by a group of sniveling, wimpy cowards. Pushed around in school? Couldn't make a sports team? Unlucky with the ladies? Become a politician and pass laws to protect your worthless ass from real men! Yeah! That's the ticket! Keep turning America into the land of the freaks and the home of the weak and we'll all be speaking Russian or Chinese in no time.
So, in conclusion...wake up and grow a pair! Sticks and stones and all, you know? Or, if you are a Susan Powter fan....Stop the insanity!

Black Water Scandal
Americans kill Iraqis, Bad. Iraqis lie about circumstances surrounding Americans killing Iraqis,
Business As Usual. Is there anyone out there who thinks a group of former U.S. Special Forces troops fired on a group of unarmed civilians in Iraq? Is there anyone that monumentally naive out there, someone who knows a thing or two about warfare mind you, who thinks they are that blood-thirsty that they would risk an international incident to get their jollies by killing women and kids? I'm sorry.....I have to say it......GIVE ME A FREAKING BREAK ALREADY!
Black Water USA is a well organized private security firm consisting of men from the U.S. Navy S.E.A.L's, Marine Force Recon, Army Rangers, Green Berets, and Delta Force soldiers. These men are well versed in warfare and risk assessment. They are dealing with a group of individuals who have no problem using women and children for cover to launch attacks on U.S. targets. They did it in Lebanon, they did it in Yemen, they did it in Afghanistan, and they're doing it in Iraq. One of their favorite tactics is to use a small band of men to attack an armed convoy, draw return fire, and fade away in the chaos among the retreating civilians. This is what they did with Black Water and our government's about to turn it into their greatest victory.
Did I mention that most Americans don't know what an insurgent is? I asked around out of curiosity what it meant. Of the hundred people I polled, only one, an American Veteran of the Vietnam War ( and my dad ) knew the correct answer. An insurgent is NOT, by definition, a foreign fighter, but an agent of rebellion and active uprising. I had people tell me they were everything from Afghan terrorists to Iranian soldiers sent in to start trouble. One conspiracy theory nut went so far to say they we the CIA. Most of the so called 'insurgents' the U.S. is facing in Iraq are ex-soldiers and, worse still, American policy allows them to be ARMED with automatic rifles. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
It's easy for me to formulate a scenario for this incident. A Black Water security detail is escorting a diplomat through a hostile neighborhood. The 'insurgents', some of whom now occupy positions within the Iraqi government and security forces, know the convoy is coming.
Furthermore, they arrange the placement of every person in that square in preparation for the ambush. After their initial attack, when Black Water returns fire, they retreat, aided by everyone there, hiding weapons and bodies with equal aplomb. The rest is academic. They say Black Water opened fire without provocation and they own all the witnesses.
Similar tactics have been employed throughout history. Indeed, it is used here in America by small town insurance scammers. In this case, however, the outcome of this fiasco could destroy not only American lives, but give our enemies a frightening new weapon. If the government chooses to indict and try the Black Water operatives, terrorists the world over will set into motion similar operations designed to further erode confidence in America. This must not be allowed to happen.
To add insult to injury, it is my understanding the prosecutors are seeking to charge these men under a drug related statute concerning automatic weapons as though these men were common drug dealers and gang-bangers. The mandatory thirty year sentences are just as ridiculous. I am amazed we live in an America that can attempt to impeach a President for extra-marital sex, then turn a blind eye to one who starts a war under fictitious reasons, and then have the gall to try to prosecute American citizens on the whim of a superfluous and insignificant third world regime. Pathetic.
