American Idol Don't Mean A Thang

I had something I wanted to say. I forget now what it was exactly. I was going to write a post about some of my thoughts on current events. And I had no intention of linking any of my sources or in any way trying to back up what I have to say with evidence that it is factual.

This is my blog. No one pays me for writing for their entertainment. No one gives me anything at all for the work I do here. I'm not a newspaper or a news source of any sort. I have no editor and no journalistic responsibility to anyone. I'm here to write how I feel or what I think. And lately I feel sick of backing up my posts with hyperlinks to sources, which no one ever clicks anyway. I'm sick of treating this like a job. It feels like a job sometimes, only I never get paid and no one provides me with any coffee. It takes forever to put together a post when I take the time to look up all the sources and include the links to them. Fuck that.


Pres O and Rev Hater
I think several things our government is doing right now is a really bad idea. For example, there is a news story today about Obama promising to work with the Russians on a missile defense shield. If this isn't proof that the man is a first class idiot, I don't know what it is going to take to prove it. I don't feel like linking the story, so I'm not going to. We had a missile shield. Obama signed it away to the Russians, who have no missile shield, but do have a shitload of nuclear missiles aimed straight at our throat and so they are pissed that we have come up with a system that will protect us from their aggressive and predatory nature. So he signed an agreement that we won't build the shield. What kind of President tolerates and even caters to someone like Putin getting his pink panties in a wad over our SHIELD? Does Obama not understand even the concept of a shield? It's purely defensive. No one can object to such a thing unless they are wanting to do harm to the one who possesses it. And the only 'leader' who doesn't grasp this and tell the Russians to go fuck themselves is a moron, or a gigantic pussy, or both. That's my opinion. You don't have to click anything to get the back story on that. It's all right here.



Idol
Some dude was selected as this year's American Idol last night. They tell me it came down to a dude and a chick and the judges chose the dude. And this is big news, apparently. And also, apparently, the dude and the chick are sleeping together so it's like a couples thing. Or something. Either way, who gives a damn? It's not like the Royal Wedding. It's just a stupid TV show. The whole world today seems to be talking about it. I didn't watch a single episode and I don't care. Suddenly Pippa Middleton's hotness has been replaced as the topic of the day by American Idol. Geez.

I don't normally use the term 'chick' to refer to anyone, male or female. Somehow that just seemed to fit with what I was writing.

Blogger is all fucked up today. I don't even know if this post is going to save, let alone post.



Bad Policy
What else is going on today? Oh yeah, the stock market is up and down like a teenaged couple in the back seat of an old car getting their freak on. Apparently the vast economic uncertainty that socialist politics has created is leading to a dramatic chaos in the business and financial world. Who knew that having socialists, who have no understanding of how economics or business works at all, in charge of our laws and regulations governing business and the economy might be a bad idea? Shocker!

People are upset today because the lunatic who shot a judge and a Congresswoman has been declare incompetent to stand trial. I understand their upset, but what I'd like to know is, why can't we declare politicians incompetent to hold office and have them removed as easily as that? It would sure clear out a lot of spots in Washington.

A lot of teachers and left-wing people are complaining that our schools are in decline because we don't spend enough money on education, and lately we are having to make cuts. They say this is the fault of right-wing conservatives who don't care about kids and are greedy. Here's a thought: first of all, we now spend several times more per student than we did back in 1980 or 1970 or 1960, and yet kids performed much better in school and got a better education back then than they do now. So clearly money isn't the problem or the answer. Second, how is it that no one seems to grasp the concept that as a nation declines, and our economy teeters on the brink of disaster, we quite naturally have less money available to throw at the teachers unions, regardless of whether those teachers are doing a great job or a very shitty one? The money ain't there, bitches. It done all been spent on bullshit and corrupt politics. Now we're reaping what has been sown. As a nation declines, it has less money to throw around. We're declining. Rapidly. And so, not surprisingly, we have less and less money each year to blow up teacher's asses so they can teach our children how to put condoms on bananas and perform oral sex the proper way. I'd suggest that someone needs to find a gold mine or strike oil here in the U.S. so that we have a new source of riches to spend, but even if someone did, Obama's EPA would prohibit anyone from bringing that gold or oil up out of the ground and it would all be for nothing anyway, so fuck it.


There's an article in the news right now entitled "Parents keep child's gender under wraps." OK, first of all, it isn't the child's "gender" they're keeping under wraps. It's the child's SEX, which is not the same thing. They can dress their child as either "gender" and thus change the child's gender at will, as they please. Geez, we have a media here in the U.S. that is so fucking PC that they won't even use the word "sex" anymore, ever since feminist college professors changed to "gender" in order to make the lesbian women who dress as men happy. Listen, if a reporter misuses the term "gender" that's no shocker. Most of our reporters are retarded. But now that the misuse has spread to our lawyers and political leaders, there is a real cause for concern. And if you ever encounter a DOCTOR who misuses the term, run from that idiot as fast as you can. Medical professionals are not ever supposed to use the term "gender" in place of "sex" because they are NOT interchangeable.

And again, I once hyperlinked to an article explaining all this, but I'm not going to today, so if you're curious, Google it or look back through my old posts.



Pope don't even know
There's a preacher in the news who apparently 'calculated' the Judgement Day using some form of mathematics that they apparently don't teach in college. I have a degree in math and I grew up in a church where we actually studied the Bible (yes, there are plenty of churches that never even open it, let alone read it.) I can tell you, I don't recall any Bible lessons on how to write a mathematical proof relating to the Judgement Day. Basically, the Bible says you won't know when it'll be. So this preacher dude who claims he did the math and came up with a number is smoking crack. Or more likely, meth, 'cause that's the drug of choice among the rednecks these days. Nuff said.

I guess that's all I have to say today. Bleargh.

Friday the 13th News

SPECIAL NOTE: Every single comment I left on your blogs yesterday is gone today. At first I thought I had offended one of you, but then I noticed that it was every blog, including my own reply to your comments here. It seems to include every single thing I wrote. I know Blogger had problems yesterday, but holy crap, was it so bad that they had to reload the entire thing from Wednesday's backup files?!

Anyway ...

Happy Friday the 13th. It's dark and a little rainy here. Just what a flooded city needs, eh? Yeah, ok.

Inflation hits 2 1/2 year high
So the White House and our Federal 'experts' are claiming there is no inflation, even though we are all paying more and more for basic things, and our President and Senate are trying to shift blame for the skyrocketing cost of gasoline onto Wall Street 'speculators' and 'Big Oil greedy executives' alternately and in that order. Last time gas went up like this it was because a giant hurricane named Katrina had wrecked all our wells in the Gulf and a few refineries, too. It was a temporary thing caused by God and poor planning. This time our Democratic Party and their leader, Barack Obama, are hoping Americans are too stupid and/or distracted to notice that there was no hurricane and the rising price of fuel has nothing to do with God, but more a man who thinks he's God. The White House has stopped oil drilling and pumping, as well as attacking our coal mines and nuclear facilities, in an environmental extremist attempt to send America back into the 1800s, back when people rode horses and women owned slaves but didn't vote. The Press reports that 53 percent of our population believes the Democrats' claims that Big Oil and greedy capitalist pigs are to blame, while the rest of the nation wants a new President.

Meanwhile ...

Flood Waters Threaten Oil and Gas Production
A very real and non-Obama-created flood is threatening to once again expose the inherent weakness in the United States' oil refining capabilities by virtue of the majority of refineries being located all in the same location. Should it become necessary for the Army Corp of Engineers to flood a significant portion of Louisiana in response to the rising waters of the Mississippi River, a large number of oil wells and refineries in that region will be suddenly underwater. Some of the oil companies insist it won't matter, as they have already been underwater for a long time and already operate under those conditions.

Meanwhile ...

2 1/2 Men, Again
Ashton Kutcher has been chosen as the replacement for Charlie Sheen on "2 1/2 Men", which is really weird since Charlie is older than Allan and Ashton is as much younger than Allan as he is than wife, Demi Moore. Still, he's a likable guy and if they handle it right I guess it could work. We'll see.

Obama Suffering a Man-cession
America's first honorary lesbian president, Barack Obama, is apparently not gaining the kind of boost in the polls he'd hoped for after the killing of Osama bin Laden. It seems that among women he is more popular now than he was, with 55 percent of women now saying they like him as a leader, but only 43 percent of men saying they don't think he's a girlie-man mama's boy with an ugly wife. This is truly a great cause for alarm to the Obama White House, as women are known to be fickle and will quickly change their mind and return to their previous opinion of him as soon as the seasons change again. Men, on the other hand, aren't so quick to change their minds and will almost certainly continue to think he is a dick as the price of gasoline, food, utilities and life in general climbs, while job opportunities for men slides further and further into oblivion as America transforms into the France of old under Obama even as France transforms into a more manly nation under Sarkozy and his hot supermodel wife.

It's interesting to note the the percentage of voters who believe the Democrats' claims that Big Oil is to blame for the high price of gas today is almost exactly the same as the percentage of women who think President Obama is a good leader. I have no idea if there's a significance to that, but it's interesting all the same.

And that's really all I have to say on this Friday the 13th. Have a nice weekend.

Wicked Wednesday

Male Bashing Packaged and Marketed as a Video Game
There's a new female-only video game out. It's called "Hey Baby" and it's a first person shoot'em up game in which a woman walks down the street shooting and killing various random men for the 'crime' of speaking to her. The ever-female supremacist media is thrilled about it, celebrating the blatantly sexist nature of the game. The game is currently sold out, indicating that not only do a substantial number of women consider misandric sexism to be acceptable, but highly desirable and thus profitable as well. Expect a flood of misandric video games following the success of this one. Male bashing is easy money.



Pedro and Jose Live Longer Than You
A new study has found that in the United States, Hispanics outlive whites and blacks both, by several years. The US Congress, the single largest exploiter of illegal alien labor, has indicated that this is a non-issue and nothing to be concerned about. "As long as it isn't white males outliving anybody there is no problem here", a US Government official representing the White House said.



Obama Objects to Americans Fear of his Marxism
US President Barack "Daddy Warbucks" Obama is accusing Republicans of "fear mongering" and cites the American voters' overwhelming fear of President Obama's destructive Marxist policies as proof. "The American People are utterly terrified of what I'm doing to the economy, not only of America, but the entire world, with my progressive redistribution of wealth policies. I am the first black Robin Hood and I should be celebrated, worshipped even, for my great achievements and social justice policies. There is simply no excuse for Americans to be afraid just because I might be damaging the future of America a little bit."



Gay Old Republicans
Almost as if in response to the criticisms the Tea Party has leveled against the Republican Party leadership and its stubbornly out-of-touch policies, a tiny, but powerful homosexual wing of the Republican Party, the Log Cabin Republican, have successfully sued the United States military to end its "Don't ask, don't tell" policy for homosexuals serving in the armed forces. The lawsuit could not possibly be further out of sync with the views and values of conservative Republican voters. The lawsuit illustrates clearly the chasm of disconnect that exists between the voters and the Republican Party leaders, who have recently allied with Democratic Party leaders in a join effort to crush the Tea Party uprising in what can only be described as the most self-serving and short-sighted effort ever by Republican Party leaders. Tea Party supporters, should they ultimately abandon the Republican Party, would leave the Republican Party a tiny shadow of its former self, irrelevant and unwinnable in any future elections.



Peking Penis Pianist
An armless pianist has won the first ever season of "China's Got Talent" by playing the piano with his genitalia. "It's truly amazing to see," one noticably excited Chinese woman said. "I have never seen any man do what this man can do with his dingaling and dangleberries. I think I love him!"



New Zealand Not Laughing At Dikshit
A New Zealand television host has quit his job over a dispute relating to his mispronunciation of Sheila Dikshit's fairly awkward and obviously humorous name. "You can't tell me that her name isn't hilarious," the disgruntled host allegedly or possibly never said. "Any New Zealander who can't see the humor in this is a disgrace to our great nation and should pack up and move to America, with all of their ridiculous political correctness and pink fucking everything all over the place."



Flooding in Rio
Massive flooding in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, has prompted thousands of sleek, sexy Brazilian women to throw off their clothing and swim to work in the nude. "We are Brazilian," one anonymous nude woman said. "We won't let a little thing like water stop us from living our lives. We can swim like fish." The American Embassy in Brazil has reported a different type of flood, one consisting of American photographers flying into Rio to photograph the amazing spectacle. "I can't really blame them," Ambassador Keanue Reeves was reported to have said. "These Brazilian women are super hot."



Aliens Signaling Earth with a Special Offer
Australian astronomer Ragbir Bhathal claims to have detected a signal from the vicinity of Gliese 581g, the planet in the zone of habitability for life. He explained, "I have deciphered the signal and determined that it is an advertisement for "Girls Gone Wild" DVDs. I have ordered 10 of them so that I can study this new alien life form at play. It is all for the efforts of science."



Loonies On The Path
Yesterday in traffic I noticed a high level of lunacy and rage on the part of drivers. All I knew was that a cold front had been replaced with a warm front, my knee was hurting and rain was expected. I had assumed the hot weather following the cold was to blame. But then I read about the earthquake in Oklahoma and it made more sense to me. The worst traffic I have ever seen, with the most insanely aggressive and lunatic behavior, was the day before a major earthquake in Illinois. I was going to write another Loonies on the Path post about it, but I just never got around to it. So this is it.

First Day of Summer

So, it has been awhile since I sat down to write straight off the top of my head, or out of my ass, as it were. But today I resume my habit of totally improper and unplanned writing in honor of the first day of summer, 2010.

It's scorching hot already. It has been for a few weeks now. After the really cold winter we had, most of us were expecting a mild summer, with minimal bugs (all frozen solid last winter) and fewer weeds (also frozen solid.) Boy were we all wrong! The bugs are everywhere, including in the house, crawling right through the trails of toxic chemicals I've sprayed around to keep them at bay, and the weeds are growing faster than we can rip them out. I tilled a section of garden at the request of Mrs. Memphis and urged her to quickly plant whatever she intended for that spot. She ignored me, as usual, and left the turned soil untended. It is now a solid patch of creeping shit and fuzzy vines that are all a major pain to get rid of.

And the poison ivy, oh my God, it is growing like a fucking alien in some lousy science fiction movie, like you can almost see it moving through the trees and strangling them, reaching out and grabbing wayward squirrels as they scream "help me! help me!" and setting traps for small children. I have always been lucky enough to be immune to this shit, but Mrs Memphis is deathly allergic to it. So imagine my joy and surprise when this year, for the first time ever, I emerged from my battles with the toxic plants with a reaction that took me 2 full weeks to identify.

Hey, all I knew was that my calf was periodically bugging the crap out of me with itching, but it seemed like no big deal. Then I showed it to Mrs Memphis and she screamed, "you've got poison ivy! Get away from me!" I looked it up on the internet, which said it would not spread and would only last for 2 weeks. So I informed Mrs Memphis that the 2 weeks were up and it should go away any minute now.

"Like hell," she screamed. "It'll spread through your bloodstream and break out in other places that never touched the stuff and you'll have it at least a month."

So, going on the fourth week now, I seem to be clearing up a little. I have random itching at various places on my body, but no one spot in particular that needs attention.


Thumpin' tunes
Anyway, I had a lovely new stereo installed in my 4x4 a few weeks ago. With all of the miles I do back and forth to Memphis I figured I needed some decent tunes instead of simply relying on random radio DJs to offer me worthwhile choices, so I had something put in. It was great for 3 weeks. Then I went to drive myself to Memphis, only to discover that the truck is totally dead. No electricity. It seems something has drained the battery all the way down, and when I try to put it on a battery charger, the charger flashes at me and won't charge. Something is fucked up. Oh joyous day in the morning, it's 100 degrees outside and not much cooler in the garage. I really don't want to be bothered with this crap right now. But, of course, now is precisely the time I should be expecting failures like this. Sure as hell, if anything is going to die on a vehicle, it is going to die at the worst possible time, and/or in the worst possible weather. I'm hopeful that all I need is a new battery, but I apparently won't know until I remove the battery, with sweat pouring down my face, haul it to some autoparts store for them to test, and then shell out the big bucks for another one, which I will then install, with sweat pouring down my face again, and try out.

It's still early morning and it is already 85 degrees with 60 percent humidity, making it feel like 90 degrees. It's expected to reach 98 today once the sun is high overhead. Combined with the humidity it will feel closer to 105. That's Fahrenheit. I think that's 45 or something in Celsius. I could look it up, but honestly, I don't want to.


"Father's Day is a day for hating"

So, it was Father's Day this past weekend. Our espized President Obama took the opportunity of a day celebrating the importance of fathers and fatherhood to make a speech. In his speech he bashed fathers in the same tired old way that he does every single year, and much as all politicians in general do whenever they want to kiss up to the misandric feminists, which is pretty much all the time.

Yes, President Barack Obama, a bastard child who was raised not by his mother, but by his grandparents, celebrated Father's Day by bashing fathers as a group.

And then he went back to playing golf with his buddies, leaving his wife and children behind.


Oil leak? What oil leak?

Meanwhile, the CEO of British Petroleum, having been removed from all responsibilities relating to the Gulf Oil Spill, went yachting. The CEO of BP has since taken a beating in The Press over his yachting weekend, while our President, the man who removed the BP CEO from responsibility for the spill and declared that "we will not rest" until this crisis in the Gulf has been dealt with, was playing golf and bashing on fatherhood. President Obama somehow escaped any criticisms for his golfing and soccer-watching and father-bashing while the Gulf is puking up oil, despite his promises that he would not rest until the puking is stopped.

The next day, on Fox News' O'Reilly Report, the infamously grouchy and perpetually interrupting Bill O'Reilly himself mentioned the speech, playing the part in which Barack Obama bashes on fathers and fatherhood. And then Bill O'Reilly said, "hear, hear!" and applauded the father-bashing. Bill O'Reilly is a spineless weasel when it comes to any issue relating to men, kissing the ass of every female guest shamelessly before resuming his rude interrupting of them. The President, meanwhile, is a Chicago cunt of epic proportions in general, but especially on Fathers Day.


Eat it, Bill

I received a package all the way from Australia this past weekend. It seems that an ongoing conversation about price differences between the United States and Australia inspired a package containing newspaper ads and a few bonuses from one Utegirl.


Merry Aussiemas - from Ute

Thank you, Ute, for sending this to me! I fully intend to suck hot chocolate through every single one of those Tim Tams, with the help of my hot chocolate-loving wife, of course. And then I will suck down the Vegemite on crackers until it's all gone, 'cause I actually like the stuff. While I'm eating the Tim Tams and Vegemite (separately, of course), I will flip through the Aussie ads and try to convince Mrs Memphis that there is no such thing as poison ivy in Australia and should we move there we would never have to worry with it again.


Not just another pretty plant

Gang of Black Racists Attack Palin Supporting Girl

Annie Grossmann freshman hockey player at Augsburg said she was attacked for wearing a McCain/Palin button during election week.

An Augsburg freshman says four black women called her racist and punched her on election night after seeing her McCain-Palin button.

By PAUL WALSH, Star Tribune

An Augsburg College student and Sarah Palin supporter from Alaska was beaten on election night while walking to her dorm and was called a racist by a group of four young black women because she had on a McCain/Palin presidential campaign button, authorities and the victim said.

Annie Grossmann, a freshman on the Minneapolis college's hockey team, suffered blurred vision and is thought to have had a concussion from a punch in the eye, but declined medical attention, she said.

Through her mother, Grossmann, 18, of Delta Junction, reported the assault to campus security the next morning, and Minneapolis police were notified that afternoon. No arrests have been made.

Grossmann said she was in a dorm lobby with a handful of fellow Republicans watching election returns with "a bunch of Democrats around next to me, cheering [Barack] Obama on and rubbing it in our faces."

Once it was obvious that Obama was going to win, Grossmann said, she left the building alone shortly after 9:30 p.m. and headed to her room.

Under a skyway connecting the two buildings, four black women "bigger than I am" came up to her, she said.

"One approached me and got in my face and called me racist because I had the pin on. That really ticked me off, but I kind of left it alone because she was so much bigger than I am," said Grossmann. She is 5 feet 2 and weighs 120 pounds, and played boys high school hockey in Alaska. "The girls in the background were just a little bigger than me. They were mocking me from the sidelines.

"I didn't say anything. ... This one [bigger] girl grabbed me by the shoulders and was holding me. After about five minutes, I just wanted to get out of there."

Grossmann, who is white, said she told the women, who were black, "You guys don't even know me. There's no reason to think I'm racist."

At that point, she said, she pushed the bigger one in the group, and "she punched me, and the back of my head hit a brick wall."

"'Are you serious?''' she recalled saying to the women. After cursing at Grossmann, the women left, and "I held my eye and went to my room."

The team trainer, who checked her out the next day, said she probably had a concussion and barred her from practice for two days. She said she's also been required by the school to attend counseling and missed a day of classes.

As for her future at the college, she said, "I love Augsburg, and I love the team here. I have no plans on leaving." However, she added, "there are a few things that can change here, conservative versus liberal."

Augsburg spokesman Jeff Shelman said the school doubts that the women are students, citing a review of dorm building video surveillance that evening and the fact that the victim didn't recognize any of them.

Grossmann's parents, Bruce and Dawn, said that in the weeks leading up to the presidential election, Annie had trouble on campus because of her political leanings and for being a hunter.

Bruce Grossmann said a "PETA person" had to be removed from her dorm room because he was upset by a photo of her with a black bear she had shot. Also, he said, she attended an icebreaker on campus and was booed when she identified herself as a Republican.

"I don't think she was prepared for the close-mindedness," he said. "I told her she needs to take a lower profile [for the sake of] her academic and her sports careers."

Dawn Grossmann, a Delta Junction City Council member and chairwoman of a state commission that oversees public service funding in Alaska, said some professors and fellow students gave her a hard time for backing the GOP ticket. Citing academic privacy restrictions, Shelman said he could not confirm the other incidents the Grossmanns mentioned.

Dawn Grossmann has met with Palin for government business purposes and sent her daughter Palin campaign T-shirts. Bruce Grossmann said that Annie has also met Palin, is "very proud of Sarah Palin" and considers her "a role model."

Dawn Grossmann described Delta Junction as "small-town conservative" and "being in Minneapolis, that's very much of a change" for her daughter.

"She was surprised by how politically active the campus was," Annie's mother said. "She got a lesson right off the bat."


Annie Grossmann


[My question about all of this, which has happened in various simliar incidents in Memphis, is where is the FBI with its hate crimes investigation unit? Why is it that nothing is ever done when the hate crimes are politically correct? This is why the socialists have to call their way of doing things "social justice" instead of just justice, because there's no justice to it.

Nazi brownshirts couldn't have done it any better. Come to think of it, they were socialists, too.]
