First and foremost; I wish Brett Favre would make up his freakin' mind already. And while I'm on the subject of the Packers... WHAT THE HELL WAS TED THOMPSON THINKING???? "Oh, gee look, for some reason, nobody has snatched up that Mike McCarthy fella..." Well, Ted, do you suppose it had anything to do with the fact that he was the coordinator of the WORST offense in the NFL? Teddy, you'd better have the best damn draft in the history of the NFL, and MM better be the biggest sleeper-"holy crap where did he come from?"- hire of all time. 'Cause I think Packer Nation has a little more say with Bob Harlan than you think we do.
Second, would all of you ugly women quit your whining about Deb LaFave getting off the hook? There are many issues at play here; One, a woman who looks like that is not going to get a break BECAUSE she looks like that. If anything, she's going to be made an example of in our leftie judicial system, so everyone can see that beauty is only skin deep, blah, blah, blah. Two, if I'm a 14, 15 year old kid who gets jumped by a teacher who looks like that, I am not emotionally scarred..... I AM the King of the Freaking School! I am the Egg-Man, I am the Walrus, coo-coo-catchoo. Three, the kid is already having some severe distress, just with all the press, and unwanted attention this has drawn. His Mom said she'd like to see LaFave do time, but not at the expense of her son's stability. Four, LaFave is already under 3 years of house arrest, and I think 7 years probation. Plus, she obviously lost her teaching credentials, and any opportunity to teach anywhere in the civilized world. Do I think what she did was OK? Hell no. Do I think the kid is going to be damaged goods because he got to hit that? Hell no, I'd be quite willing to bet the one thing he WASN'T thinking was "This woman needs to go to jail!". All the freaking-out by the press, the public, and the courts, all the pressure of trying to lead a "normal" life with all of this swirling around him, and trying to gain his parents' trust again..That's what will be his trial. Ms. LaFave says this happened because she's bipolar. While I find that a petty lame excuse, I have seen bipolar people do some crazy shit.
Do we need anymore reality shows? How many more ways can we put a group of strangers together to see if they'll "hook-up", back-stab, cheat, swindle, spend all of Hef's money, take the suit case or the money.... STOP ALREADY. Some of them are OK, Idol's good, once you get down to a manageable number of people (Chris the Rocker-Dude rules). We used to watch "The Real World", (please re-name that show to "Beautiful People ages 18-24, living in impossibly perfect digs, given gravy jobs, and oodles of re-casts on The Gauntlet) but now I think they're really trying to get some one pregnant, killed, arrested, or married. Here lets put two gay guys, and a bunch of horny hetero's in a confined space, with (apparently) an unlimited booze budget... What could possibly go wrong? Can we please start paying some actors, and writers again? I miss Cheers.
System of a Down, and Green Day, please stop wtitng protest song until you do some actual research. "Why do they always send the poor?"? Gosh, I dunno, maybe because we have an ALL VOLUNTEER MILITARY. Most rich folks don't feel the need to sign-up for the GI bill. And stop going on, and on about the oil. We haven't taken a freaking drop, and when we do, we'll pay for it, to help Iraq's economy get on track. None of that could have happened under Saddam,(unless you were France, Germany or Russia breaking UN sanctioned trade embargos) or can happen, until the insurgency is quelled. You see, the faster we get Iraq on it's feet, the faster we can get out. However, the real "Campaign of Misinformation", being waged by the mainstream media, and people like you, would have us believe that all would be OK if we just pulled out en mass. Maybe, if the core of the insurgency was Iraqi, but they're not. Yes some extremist Sunni are part of the problem, but for the most part these are outside influences inciting some Iraqis, but certainly not the majority. If we just up-and-left, the Iraqi people would have it worse for longer, than if we hold on 'til the job is done, or Iraq's military can handle it themselves. Try talking to some of the troops coming home, who've had contact with average Joe Iraqi, they don't hate us like you want us to believe they do.
Finally, if you're one of those people who find it difficult, for whatever reason, to even approach the speed limit while driving...GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY... Listen, I view the speed limit as more of a suggestion, a guideline if you will. I suppose you do, too, only your view wastes alot of MY TIME. I already have to drive too much, I don't need you prolonging the task. I think our highways and biways would be a much happier place if we all got one summary execution per day. Some guy almost kills you 'cause he just cut you off, you get to run him into a bridge embunkment. Think about it, are you gonna tailgate that old lady if you're not sure she's used up her execution for the day? If you're not sure her trunk won't pop open to reveal a 20mm gatling gun? No, you're gonna smile and wave to Granny, and hope she's not on her way back from a losing night at the bingo hall.
Peace, Love, and "What the hell are you doing in the left lane?"

Me...As it relates to You
I thought that I should give both my fans an overview of me, and some of my beliefs. Things to let you know where I'm coming from, before we even get there.
Politically--- I consider myself more conservative, but not necessarily a Republican. Honestly, I pretty much hate all politicians. Even those who start with the best of intentions get turned into the partisan A-Holes we all hate. "Not that I condone facism, or any -ism, for that matter"- Ferris Beuller...But the two party system only works if the parties are doing what their constituents elected them to do. Let's face it, once they get to Washington, they're set for life, so they stop giving a shit about us, period. My big problem with the Dems- Hypocricy. How in the hell am I supposed to believe that John Kerry, and Ted Kennedy give half-a-damn about "The Little Guy'?
My big problem with the Republicans- Legislated Morals. Listen, guys, I didn't elect you so you could go ape-shit because Justin & Janet had a "wardrobe malfunction". Can you say FCC overkill, boys and girls? I elected you because I want CHRISTMAS back, because I don't want a warning label on EVERYTHING, and because sometimes it's OK to give a FIRST PLACE trophy, not a "participation medal".
By the (old school) way, all you screamin' lefties... I got my butt beat as a kid when I was bad, 'cuz I deserved it... And guess what? I'm not an axe-murderer, I don't need therapy, and I love my Mom and Dad to death. Unbelieveable, huh? Time-outs ain't workin' people.
Abortion--- I don't like the idea, fundamentally. However, even more fundamentally, I hate the idea of going back to un-sanitary back-room abortion clinics, or worse yet, girls bleeding to death in a closet because they tried to do it themselves. I know alot of people use abortion the wrong way, and frankly those people make me sick, but the alternative was, and would be, much worse. Oh, and all you ultra-Christian clinic-bombers... Al Qaeda has some openings you may be interested in.
Environment--- While I acknowledge the phenomenon of global-warming, and it's dangers to us and future generations... Go find me a scientist who can PROVE that it isn't just a cycle the earth goes through. They can't. Know why? Mama Earth has been around for about 4 billion years, we've been here about 10,000. The technology to detect things like the ozone hole has been around for about 30, and climatology, and meteorology can't find their asses with both hands. If you listen carefully, you can hear them contradict themselves. The last Ice Age happened without our help, and yet that's what the big outcome of global-warming is supposed to be. Are we speeding it along? Probably. Are we producing junk that would make our ancestors puke? Yup. But guess what again... So would a large-scale volcanic eruption, or a medium to large asteroid/meteor hitting us... Mama will wipe us out before we can do it ourselves. That's not to say I'm a polluter, or I wouldn't love to see our cars run on hydrogen or whatever, or I'm a nature-hater. Quite the contrary, I love hunting, and fishing, and camping, and I can't do those things if nature is gone...I love Mama...I leave her better than how I found her whenever possible. I think the more real, and present danger is what happens when we blow our fossil-fuel wad, and our oil-based world economy takes a big ol' dump.
Religion--- The only thing I'll say that I didn't say in my religion rant (You, Me, and Religion), is that I think all churches need to stay out of the political arena. Respect for life is not something I need shoved down my throat every Sunday. I've been in some very hairy situations, I have kids, I'm pretty sure my Respect-o-Meter is pegged. And as far as putting your churches two-cents in on whatever war is going on? I seem to recall some things called, "The Crusades", "Jihad", and God himself swallowing up half the Egyptian army in the Red Sea. Show me the teachings of whatever Faith I follow, don't try to govern me. It's part of why this country exists.
Society--- We have allowed the ACLU, and Soccer-Moms to turn us into a mediocre people . We can't have actual competition anymore. We can't have winners and losers anymore, just participants. We can only hire the best people for the job if a certain demographic-proile quota is met. We have also polarized ourselves in keeping with Washington's example. We piss and moan alot, but those incumbents always seem to keep their seats. Part of the reason I started this blog was to fire someone up, if only myself. I live in a town where we HAD an opportunity to build an ethanol plant. It would've brought in over $ 1 million a year to our schools just through property taxes. But a bunch of mis-informed loud-mouths (whose kids mostly go to other schools) have pretty much blown it. See, these geniuses built their fancy sub-division on a Super-Fund site, between a freeway, and a huge tank farm that supplies all the area gas stations... But God forbid they build that ethanol plant. By the way, if any of you Redenius idiots reads this, all ethanol plants do is COOK CORN you moron. you cannot produce toluene by cooking corn. Toluene is a petroleum-based solvent, cooking corn is not petroleum-based anything. Go take a 10th grade chemistry class. Most of the people IN town, wanted this plant, and those tax dollars. But once again, the loudest voices are the only ones heard. Just like the rest of society, we all think all Iraqis hate us because that's what the loudest voices say. Wrong. If the loudest voices were always right, John Kerry would be President. It is time for the silent majority to stop being so silent.
Give me back my CHRISTMAS
I'm sorry if my kid is better than your's at something
Hire the white guy if he's the most qualified
Hire the black guy if he's the most qualified
Hire the Asian woman if she's the most qualified
Competition is NOT a bad thing, winning builds self-esteem, losing builds character, and hopefully a strong desire to open a can of whoop-ass next time.
Peace, Love, and Hooter's Girls (I hope that offends someone)
