Monopolies!!!! #$^%@!!!!

Today I am thoroughly pissed. Every time I want to get tickets for a show, I am put into a rotten mood. It really isn’t conducive to enjoying anything.

My reason for this is simply one word, Ticketmaster. G.. D… pieces of S…! I know several rock bands tried to break their monopoly a few years ago and got no where. I simply do not understand why this government with all of their desires to break up business doesn’t go after their asses. They are outrageous in their fees and it is because they have no competition. Does Barry Diller need more billions?

I am the last person to ask for regulations, and this isn’t a call for that. If no one else has the special privileges they enjoy, then whose ass is he kissing to get this perk.

Damn, I see red on this one, and I don’t think I’m alone.

Honesty & Hunting Accidents

AN OBSERVATION & OPINION:

Vice-President Dick Cheney is an ass, as are all politicians who think they are below the radar.

I really feel sorry for the guy Cheney shot in the woods, and I feel for VP Cheney as far as being involved in the accident. I’m familiar with this type of thing and it is awful.

What I don’t feel sorry about for the VP is that he tried to cover it up, delay the news, or whatever. The press has a microscope up his ass as it does with most of the administration. Did he really think he could avoid fall-out from this? That is insane.

All he had to do was call a friendly reporter, a few minutes after it happened, and say, “Look guys, I had an accident hunting today. I shot a good friend of mine and I am devastated. As soon as we know more, I’ll let you know.” That was it. Of course he should then follow up with additional information. You CAN NOT think they are not going to find out.

The perfect example of this is President Clinton’s famous “I did not have sex with that woman” comment. I don’t give a crap if he did or didn’t. My hat’s off to him if he did. It is a perk of the office for crying out loud. Just for once I would like to see one of them stand up and say something like, “Yes, I did do it. I had fun and it was great. I am sorry I hurt my family and disappointed anyone, but the pressure is fantastic. It happens!” …or something like that. An honest answer would go so far and be so refreshing.

If only they would learn, but they never do.

There is one last thing. I am not so sure 2 old farts should be out in the woods with guns, any more than they should be driving a car, but that is another rant.

To Honesty,

NEW WORD:

Doofi: The plural of doofus. Used in a sentence: They were complete doofi when they let the murderer off with a 3 year sentence.

TV COMMENTS:
Well, the Religious Right struck again. They were instrumental in getting “The Book of Daniel” booted off network television. I can never figure out how they can claim to be so religious when it is obvious they have no faith. If a person’s religion is so fragile it can not handle scrutiny of any type, then there is something very wrong here.

I have heard complaints that the show was blasphemous and cast Christianity in a bad light. I agree in today’s society that is the case many times, but this is not one of them. You doofi should learn to pick your battles. If anything, this show demonstrated the nature of good and evil, and the effect of Christ’s love on people better than most churches do on Sunday morning.

What really galls me is that the gripers I know that made the meanest comments have never seen the show. Enough said.

ANOTHER TV COMMENT:


Not since “Alien Nation” was on television has a show been as well written as “Battlestar Galactia”. Taking a space opera such as the parent of this series in the 1970’s, and developing it into one of the tightest and most relevant shows on, is amazing. It is such compelling drama; you almost forget they are in space.

If you haven’t seen it, check it out and forget it is sci-fi. It is simply damn good.

A Senator and Fat, not a Fat Senator

OP-ED OPINION REBUTTAL:

I read an op-ed today written by Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware stating that we (or the U.N.) should put a stop to the genocide in the Sudan. Ok, where has he been for the last ten years or so? Even though this is one of the most brutal of the African nations in genocide, it is not the first. As usual the U.N has sat on its collective thumbs and did squat. They don’t give a crap about anyone in Africa. Could it be because the people are black, poor, or simply have no power or friends? It is a totally worthless organization and we should not give them one more cent of support.

That does not let America off! We have always defended those who had no defense of their own. That is enough damn reason to do something. If you need to have to any more, Africa is rich in many metals and other natural resources, and we can always use them. He who helps them first will have the people’s support and loyalty forever. Instead we allow brutal dictators and big companies to exploit the hell out of the place.

Shame on us; and shame on you Mr. Biden for waiting so long to speak up and worrying about what the U.N. or NATO does or doesn’t do. Of course you complained about helping Iraq so what else can we expect from you?

AN OBSERVATION:

As you have read, America is getting fat, the people that is. Here are my three reasons:

1. Most people, especially kids, sit on their chubby asses too much. Throw those video games out or limit them drastically. Give them chores to do. Not only is that exercise of sorts, but can teach them to work and be responsible. We are raising generations of deadbeats.

2. Stop the production and distribution of high fructose corn syrup. The production companies and food manufacturers have made enough money poisoning our citizens with it. It does nothing but turn to fat in our bodies (not mine, I won’t eat that shit), and for some reason that fat never wants to go away.

3. Educate the citizenry that Lo-Fat means fat and death. Lo-Fat foods are basically sugar. Human fat comes from sugar not fat. If you don’t remember that go back to school, private not public. All of the fat is replaced with some form of that nasty white stuff. The average person eats 100 times what they need. What you really need is more fresh vegetables, not prepared, frozen or canned. Also, Lo-Fat addicts, and that is what you are, are usually deficient in essential fatty acids, so much for nice hair, skin, or well functioning organs. Who needs them? Get a grip on yourselves. What sense is it if your arteries collapse from all that fat you’re carrying around, instead of being plugged up a little bit.

It is so difficult to understand the herd mentality. Grow up and think for yourself.

Damn I’m pissed!

Pets, Kids, & More

NEWS ITEM:

Someone in Baltimore left 6 puppies in a plastic box on the sidewalk and they froze to death. They are looking for a woman who it is claimed would not allow a neighbor to take them inside. She said Animal Control was coming to get them. Why is it almost always women that endanger animals?

Almost everyday someone is caught with hundreds of animals in their house, starving, sick, and dead. They almost always get a slap on the wrist. I say put these bastards in jail for a while and let Big Bertha play with them. Fine them $10,000 or more per animal. Kick them around a bit. This is totally unconscionable.

NEWS ITEM:

Kids on stims like Ritalin can develop cardio-vascular disease. Dah! We’ve dosed millions of children all over this country with drugs because the parents & school officials are too damn lazy to handle them. Statistics and odds are someone is going to get something. It is the easy way out and society is going to pay for it big time. Bring back corporeal punishment and get rid of some lawyers. The patients are running the asylums.

POV:

A true conservative would never utter the words, “There ought to be a law.” Why not enforce the ones we have. We have too many already.

Wake up!
