How many is enough, Barry?

Tonight my two faithful readers, I am not talking to Chairman Oba-Mao. I am not talking to Mr. Hopey Changey. I am talking to the Commander-In-Chief of the United States military - in particular, the Commander-In-Chief of United States Naval Forces - in particular, the naval forces off the coast of Somalia.

How many dead Americans is enough for you to show Billy BJ Clinton how things should have been done in Somalia in the first place? Or are you just like BJ? Are you gonna hide behind Billy's old "Its a legal matter, not a Military matter" excuse? The pirates launched an RPG at an American warship... Not an act of war? You gonna let the pirates kill a few thousand like Osama did when Billy wouldn't man-up and take it, when two countries offered OBL's head on a platter three times? Then hide behind false disgust when a reporter dares to question you about it, just like Billy BJ? Just to let you know, when they are doing your video deposition, IS doesn't have a definition... It just says "see; be".

Lately, and with much vomit on my end, you have been attempting to invoke the spirit of Ronald Regan. Having served for this true Commander-In-Chief in the Navy, I can tell you that this situation would have been made a memory right after the Maersk Alabama incedent... And I mean RIGHT after. Like it or not, Ron had a knack for immediate and slightly beyond proportional responses. Mr Qadaffi can attest to that... Funny how that old POS hass popped back on to the scene, huh?

Listen, you know where the pirates port, you know their backers, and you know where their supply lines are. You have the most accurate, swift and powerful Navy in the history of the world at your disposal, and you have a bunch of uneducated thugs in Boston Whalers taking over oil tankers. Really Barry, really? Whatever cowardly, legalese, pseudo-intellectual crap you are telling yourself to sleep at night isn't going to bring back the four Americans killed by these punks today. Neither will taking strong and appropriate action. But by taking strong and appropriate action, you may prevent the next four - or four hundred - deaths.

Whether you like it or not, wiping these insects off the face of the Earth is the only way you will stop them. Just like the Drug Cartels and Al Qaeda/Muslim Brotherhood/Hezbollah/Hamas. It is a harsh truth to face, knowing that giving evil people what they want, just makes them want more. KNOWING that you could end this crap, but being afraid to offend your voter-base and your Euro-trash friends.

Catch and Release time is over, Barry. Time to go fishing with dynamite and filet some Pirates.

Peace, Love, and AARRRGH Ya Scurvy Sea-Dogs

"I Want Ludicrous Speed - NOW"

The title of tonight's blog is, of course, brought to you by Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) in the Mel Brooks classic; Space Balls.

You want to know what is really ludicrous? I can't even get on the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel Packer Page without an all-out brawl breaking out over the budget-battle. Every blog post and article that allows for comments breaks-down into "Union vs. Union-Buster" BS. The funny thing is, not one of those morons has any idea what they're talking about.

Even Charles Woodson is putting his $.02 worth in... He stands by "Working Families". Really C-Dub? Mine too, or just union families? Here's the thing Chuck; STFU, your union makes even the UAW look like a bunch of Guatemalan sweatshop workers. I love you as a DB, but keep your face SHUT when it comes to real "Working Families". Come live off of a few of my paychecks for a year, then live like a unionized state employee from Wisconsin or Illinois, then go back to playing a game for millions. I can guarantee you whose shoes you WON'T wanna stay in for long.

I just wanted to see if Jenkins got a deal, or if Daryn College got the boot yet, but no, I get yahoos who think they're Hannity & Colmes. I get it, it is a big thing. But someone has to realize that the people who made it this big are the people who stand to gain the most from it being this big; Union heads. BTW, all you "poor" teachers & state workers - what your masters are worried about is you having to choose to be in the union and write your own checks for union dues, instead of having them automatically withdrawn. They could care less about you or your collective bargaining "rights".

It sucks that a bunch of self-important, over-compensated whiners have sucked the life out of what should be (NFL/NFLPA negotiations not-withstanding) the best Packers off-season in 14 years.

Those of you who are proclaiming Gov. Walker as the greatest thing ever - Get a clue, how was his track record in County politics? All you Obamaniacs who think Walker is the next Adolf Hitler; would you like a side order of psycho with your melodrama? And any of you who do it on the Packers Blog at JSOnline -

GET YOUR DICK OUTA MY CORN FLAKES, FUCKER!!!!

Awwww... I'm Sooorrrry

So you say someone wants to pluck a few feathers from your Golden Goose, huh? I'm Sorry.

Back home in Wisconsin, the new Governor wants to pass a budget that would increase the amount unionized state workers have to contribute to their health plans and retirements. It would also limit the scope of collective bargaining for those employees and teachers. NOT eliminate, as Katie and Brian would have you believe, limit.

Yet, somehow, union reps from various unions - NOT AFFECTED by this plan - have these state workers convinced that they will be teaching and working in sweatshops and unstable coal mines for 27 cents an hour, if this budget passes. My big brother pointed out, much more calmly than I could, that this is about more than ANYONE thinks it is. Union heads everywhere are throwing hyperbole around like T-Shirts at a minor league hockey game. Their hyperbolic statements are fallacy to cover more fallacy.

I'll let big Bro' explain all that. As you know, I come from the other side of the coin. I wanna talk about the lies, the over-dramatism, the crap that is a little more personal. I wanna take your BS arguements, and tear them to shreds, and rub your nose in 'em.

1. There is no such thing as a RIGHT to collective bargaining. That is something your union masters and college professors have fed you like sheep, and you took it all. Collective bargaining is a concept, agreed upon by two entities, it is put in the form of a contract, and usually is abided by on both sides... Except for all you teachers who are protesting in The Peoples' Republic of Madison. You are currently in breach of contract. There are laws that govern the collective bargaining process - once an agreement is reached - but NOTHING that says its your RIGHT. If there were, we'd ALL have to be unionized just like France... Ask them how thats workin' out.

2. Is it possible that Gov. Walker just wants to save the state some money? Not according to the unions. Oh no, he's union busting... Has to be. Haven't we been hearing that shit since at least Nixon? The last time anything close to union-busting happened, it became more affordable for EVERYONE to fly... Wierd, how could that possibly be..? You assume, because Walker has (R) next to his name, that he is union-busting. Because that's what your masters told you to assume. Will this measure save the State of Wisconsin money? Yes. Guess what? That makes it a BUDGET issue... At least on one end. On the other, it is a matter of control.

3. So you only make 50K a year, to work 3/4 of the year; and have the best three months of the year off; and would still have a guaranteed retirement 94.2% funded by taxpayers; and still have health insurance 87.4% paid for by taxpayers if this budget passes? AWWWWW... I'm sooorrry. Let's see. I make less than 38K a year, to work the WHOLE year, I have to pay for 50% of my health insurance, and if I could afford to put money in a 401k, I would still have to fund 97% of my NON-GUARANTEED retirement... If my boss can still afford to match 3%. Unfortunately, too much of my money goes to pay spoiled brats like you your Cadillac benefits packages... Hey does Obama tax you on those..? Didn't think so. BTW, I fix aircraft parts for a living, so if I'm wrong, people die. If you're wrong, our educational system suc... Oh, sorry.

4. Boy, when you dupes voted for Mr. Hopey Changey, and he said "We all have to make sacrifices..." I'll bet you thought he only meant rich people and conservatives, didn't ya? I'll bet it was OK when it didn't mean you had to sacrifice, huh? I'm sorry, the funding for your Utopia has dried up. The funny thing is, you freaks act like its the end of the world to have to not even come close to being in the private sectors' shoes. We don't get to bargain shit; I haven't had a raise for two years, and it'll probably be three; our insurance keeps getting more costly for less coverage; and I will probably have to work 'til I fucking DIE. Collectively bargain that.

It almost makes me glad I moved to the Flatlands, but we have more and bigger problems here than I can mention in one blog.

Illinois = $8 billion in the hole
Wisconsin = $135 million...

Peace, Love, and Get over yourselves you greedy, whining little Bitches

So Much for "Peaceful Protest"

SO, Friday night (Feb. 11), CBS News reporter and Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent, Lara Logan was physically and sexually assaulted in Tahrir Square during Egypt's little celebration of Hosni Mubarek stepping down. Lest you think this is an isolated "She's a cute Western reporter" incident, it was actually one of over 140 attacks on reporters covering the protests in Cairo. 140 in 18 days... Now, when you figure in the fact that the first days of the protest were extremely peaceful, I'd say we're looking at 10 assaults PER DAY over the last two weeks of the demonstrations. Including what CBS News calls a "brutal" attack on Logan.

As much as I dislike the mainstream media, I like Lara Logan. Not just because she's attractive, because she goes where many of her male colleagues fear to tread, and gets WHOLE stories, not just the parts Katie wants you to see. We've seen her in Iraq and Afghanistan telling the stories of everyone from Marine Expeditionary Units to Tribal Elders to Afghan women getting their first chance at an education. And yet, after trudging down IED packed roads with soldiers, and climbing to mountain-top villages in war-torn countries, her most dangerous assignment comes at a supposedly peaceful protest, in a country that hasn't been at war since the '70s.

Cooper Anderson from CNN was also attacked, but not to the same degree. Even Middle-Eastern reporters weren't safe, one team was told,  "We're going to behead you" by their temporary captors. The reporter's knowledge of local dialects and traditions, and his kindness toward an elderly man on the street were the only things that saved him and his team from the blade.

Here are three things I hope:

1. The Muslim Brotherhood does not take the lead in Egypt when the dust settles.

2. We can stop calling protests where 140 attacks on foreign reporters occur, and 300 people die, "Peaceful"

3. Ms Logan has a speedy recovery and return to the field.

Peace, Love, and "Reporting live, from_______"

Budgets Don't Budge the Deficit

So the Chairman has sent his "Magical Mystery Budget" to Congress. 3.7 TRILLION dollars, which, by the way, adds to the deficit; to the tune of a record 1.65 Trillion in overspending for the rest of FY 2011. Of course, it's made all better by only spending 1.1 Trillion more than we take in for 2012. Whew... And here I thought we were going the wrong way... Wait... I'm a little confused. The title of this post is a link to a FOX News story, where you can find more detail on the budget.

Let me get this straight; for the rest of FY 2011, and all of 2012, 2.75 out of 3.7 TRILLION dollars we spend will be money we don't have? Really Chairman? Really? Any of you Libs still wanna talk about Regan writing bad checks? 74.324 (repeating of course) percent of the Chairman's budget is ghost money.

And where shall we get this money that doesn't exist? We'll borrow it from CHINA. Oh, but that's OK, 'cause China needs us greedy Americans, right? They make it, we buy it, right? Here's something Katie and the rest of the media Obamaniacs don't like to talk about; for about the last ten to fifteen years, China has very subtly, but most assuredly, been weening their populous into consumerism. So what the Chinese make, the Chinese can buy... Almost 2 billion Chinese... They don't need a measly 300 million round eyes to buy their stuff. Not to mention all the Chinese students who have gotten mostly free educations here in the USA, heading back to China to use those educations. Good call, former President Carter... NOT.

The Chairman appointed a committee to help him right the budget ship. They sent him a package with 4 Trillion dollars in REAL deficit trimming cuts. How many of those recommendations made it into this monetary sleight-of-hand? NONE. Now, I can't find any figures, but I'm gonna bet that we didn't hire this Blue-Ribbon, BI-PARTISAN gaggle of economic think-tankers for a handful of magic beans. This cost us phat Benjamins, and what is our return on investment? BUPKIS, NADA, NOTHING, ZILCH. It's OK, we'll just borrow that money from China, too.

So, we wanna build a high-speed rail system no one will use, pour more money into our bottomless educational system (again, thanks Jimmy C.), and keep up the "Going Green" B.S. All these programs and many more will be paid for by raising taxes on the rich; cutting tax breaks for oil, gas, and coal producers; and of course the very Clinton-esque Defense Spending Hack-a-Thon. Oh, and if we're "Going Green", why are we cutting the budget for the Great Lakes restoration funds? Not very enviro-friendly of the Chairman, huh?

This country is too geograhically large to support a "Bullet Train" system, period. If you really wanna save money, ELIMINATE the U.S. Dept of Education. It has done nothing but lower the standards of our kids' educations, and turn the NEA into another UAW. If green energy was so feasible and popular, wouldn't it really have taken hold by now? Nice as a supplement, but until the lies about nuke power stop, we will never have truly sustainable clean energy (or a viable means of deep-space travel for that matter).

Instead, TAX THE RICH!!! YEAH!!! TAX THOSE GREEDY BASTARDS!!! Ummm... Those greedy bastards SIGN YOUR CHECKS, MORON! If greedy bastards have less money to pay you with, they aren't going to take a paycut to keep you around... Get it? TAX THE SHIT OUT OF THE OIL/GAS/COAL COMPANIES!!! YEAH, TAX THOSE OIL-SPILLIN' BASTARDS TO HELL!!! OK, but when they leave, and take all those jobs with 'em, don't come cryin' to me. CUT DEFENSE SPENDING!!! YEAH, SCREW THOSE WAR-MONGERS!!! Except, at least two of the projects our fearless (gag) leader wants to cut, are two of the few projects in military history to come in better than on-time AND under budget... makes a lot of sense... I guess..(?) Maybe not.

Oh, don't mention this, 'cause it's kind of a secret, but, no entitlement programs are mentioned as places to make cuts. We just wanna keep paying out welfare to people who produce nothing, keep paying BILLIONS in fraudulent Medicaid/ Medicare charges, and totally ignore the one group of rich folks we should go after - Millionaire Social Security receipients. Listen Gramps, if you've got millions from whatever you did before you retired, you don't need the hundreds you get per month from Social Security, you greedy F*&K... Other people do, and will in the future.

So, in a nutshell; we're gonna increase spending more than we are going to cut spending, we're gonna cut things that work and continue to implement things that don't, and somehow that's gonna balance the budget, and we'll be "paying the bills" by the middle of the decade.

Forgive me a bit of skepticism, won't you?

Peace, Love, and BEND OVER!!!

Almost forgot I had this thing...

Man, with all this stuff going on, I pretty much abandoned the ol' Blog again. But, they say 95% of all blogs end up completely abandoned within a few months, so I'm not doin' SO bad... Right?

Yeah so, my eldest son is in the Army now, gettin married at the end of the year (Oh good, more spending...), and constantly reminding me that its about 65 degrees and sunny damn near every day in Monterey, CA. While we wade through ass-deep snow and -12 for a low tonight. Fucker.

Congress, especially the House, turned over big time last fall. As much as I would love to see Comrade Pelosi, Harry "Vladimir" Reid, and Chairman Oba-Mao go away in 2012, it becomes more clear every day that politicos are all after the same end - more power and our money - just by different means. Take our new friends in the Tea-Party; they don't think Chairman Oba-Mao is tough enough on terrorism, but they don't want to wire-tap people who are likely to BE terrorists..? Isn't this like saying you believe in our right to keep and bear arms, but want to outlaw gun sales? Once the Patriot Act provisions are allowed to expire, bad shit won't be far behind. Not being a doomsayer or anything, just common-freaking-sense; if we can't perform surveillance on the bad guys - and the Lame-stream media is making sure the bad guys know we can't - they get a blank check and a nice clean slate for planning the next big 9/11 style attack.

Well, at least all this Government spending is making the economy better... Oh wait, we just laid off six people where I work, foreclosures are going ape shit, and overall unemployment is still attached to that helium balloon. Not to mention predictions of $5 per gallon gas by the summer... How's that gonna go in your economic outlook?

If any of my loyal readers (OK, I know its just you Alayna, but let me dream) know of any people, businesses, or production companies in need of a voice-over guy, I'm trying to break into the biz. I keep hearing that I should use my many voices, including the ones inside my head, to make some dough, scratch, mula, cash. Send them to the ol' Blog, and have 'em post a comment, or click the "Follow Blog" button. Need to be able to give my Boy and the Bride something a little better than McDonald's for the rehearsal dinner.

Now that the Green Bay Packers are Champions, and Vince is back home where he belongs, I am gonna try to do more news watching and blogging. Sometimes though, I can't take the monotony of the same crap recycling day after day, so I may have to post some completely random shit too.

Peace, Love, and CMIII,
