NBA:  I'm really stoked about a San Antonio vs Oklahoma City.  Best Series in years is looming upon the horizon........

The Real Lesson of Facebook

My old man who was one materialistic SOB if there ever was one told me this:  "Never ever do something just for the money; you'll hate it, hate yourself, and most likely fail."  I don't know what you learn in any business course that tells you that the purpose of business is to make money.  Bullshit.  The purpose of any and all business is to solve problems and the second you forget this you lose your way and any justification for continuing life.  Remember how our once great car business forgot that the purpose of a car was dependably and economically transporting our families from one place to another, quickly and mostly enjoyably.  The Japanese did not suddenly just take over, they simply produced the cars that solved our problems.  Think about it.  What problem does FaceBook solve?  It sure ain't getting all those Wall Street pricks rich.

Real Man Sex Story

As I watch far too much daytime TV and get drenched with the almost total commitment to the feminist rant about how bad in bed we men are because we can't satisfy all them sexy women out there, I can't help but ask; Since when have we men all come to accept as fact that if a woman can't enjoy sex it is the fault of men?  Bullshit.  It's my job to show up at the party with a stiff dick, perform like a wild man for five or so minutes, shoot my baby seed into her, and then pretend I care for her.  If a woman can't achieve orgasm it's her fault. I never have a problem ejaculating, ever.  In fact it feels so good I always come back for seconds, eventually.  In fact I sometimes let her go to sleep and go straight over to my girl friend's house and do a crazy.  And BTW when was the last time you checked out the women standing in line at the grocery store or department store?  It's a miracle any man can get it up for most of them fat slobs.....Woman having trouble with orgasms probably have desensitized their vaginas from over use of sex toys (thrill sized dildos), vibrators that they have used so often they now have to have one that's 20hp and must be kick started, or in a pinch pick up a homosexual once in a while for a little anal.  Poor babies, maybe Obama Care will pay for their sex toys so they'll be in a good mood once in a while......

Under My Radar

Weekend observations after several months absence.........

The writing on ESPN's various tv sites is so bad I can't listen....

NBA playoffs are very good, I usually find basketball boring as hell but this year I'm actually watching some playoff games......

NFL is losing a ton of viewers.  Direct TV has dropped the price of their Sunday ticket by 1/3, a huge income drop for them. I think the concussion issue is making lots of fans rethink what we are watching.  We will wait til the new High School season practices get underway; mothers have always hated football, fearing injury to their sons but now plenty of dads are getting queasy about injury too.  Youth Football programs will be the first indication.  We casual coaches have long observed the over participation by Black kids, the parents of whom see football as their ticket to a college education no matter how stupid and violence prone their near criminal kids actually are.  LATE ADD: Over the past five years there has been a marked improvement in both the character of the kids and their parents who now jam them into studying.  This is because while any gang banger can get into junior college, the larger universities now demand grade performance and even the pros weigh character.  Now it ain't all good but it is getting better.

Movies: God, they are bad.  I now rent via Direct TV and I find I missed nothing in the theaters.  One recent exception is a movie called Contraband , a pretty good action thriller starring Mark Wahlberg.......The IMAX superhero stuff is spectacular and they beat going to the ballet.  BTW I just switched to Blockbuster which is cheeper......

Baseball: God, did the Angels ever fuck themselves on the Pujols deal.  $200 mil for a .187 hitter with three home runs by mid May......  In fact almost all of these big money signings have blown up which means no mas........Try playing for $10.50 per hour like the rest of us.

College Football: the just off probation USC Trojans are back in a huge way.  Their signings are among the highest rated in the country, their possible Heisman winner QB is still on board, and they have a great coach.  Only Oregon on the coast is close to them.  Forget Stanford......BTW the USC location which is almost butt close to the high crime ghetto filled with envious stupid Blacks may bite them again.

The election:  Even my liberal friends are turning against Obama, some swear they won't vote for him again no matter what.....

THE FUCK YOU STOCK MARKET

The Face Book IPO was a total scam only allowing bids over the opening price and only in quantities in 100 share lots with firms buying early for a million or so shares and selling at the opening for thirty or forty million or so.  So much for the fiction of the "little guy" getting in and becoming a new millionaire.  The millionaires are culled exclusively from the wealthy elites who bought "early" at prices as low as $5 per share through their elite brokerage firms or investment banks who were loaded up courtesy of the system and allowed to resell at whatever price was posted after the opening.  It's another example of our "fuck you" so called free market system that allows only the rich to buy low and guarantees a huge sell high profit.  Q: Do you really think that any Wall Street asshole gives a rats ass about how any company can honestly grow, increase sales, create new products?  Or do they care only about how much money they make?  These shitheads increased the number of shares being sold on the opening by several million shares not giving a shit that they might be flooding the market with shares for which there was no demand so long as they could rake in more money in commissions.  We have a corrupt system run by corrupt people, corrupt  because all they care about is making money.

HERE I AM, October 16

I'M BAAAAACK.  5/16/12.....After three months plus of being frozen out of my data I can now email and post.  So this disaster doesn't happen to you let me explain:  Take down your access codes and URLs to sites like your blog and write them down (on paper with a pen like you can buy at Staples) and put them in a safe place.  My computer partially froze me out of almost everything other than current news and I simply could not get on.  I had a computer genius tell me he couldn't find them without replacing my hard drive.  I finally relented and paid the prick a hundred dollars and now it works.  This is the price I paid for not backing up everything.  And I mean everything especially including the listings for all my whores, sluts and drug connections.  Yes, I'm an asshole but you already knew that.  As a super back up for codes and shit simply email them to yourself and actually print them up so you too can blog real insightful shit like "Obama sucks, the Dems suck, the Republicans are far too stupid to solve anything other than keeping the occasionally careless faggot who might dare to run for a school board somewhere from offering blow jobs to our helpless teen aged boys off any ballot", and so on.

View from a Pot Dream

The election issues as seen by a semi-literate sort of conservative possible voter in SoCal.  The budget deficit means nothing at all to the average (and not so average) lib (65% of the population) who have no intention of paying back their mortgages, any and all freebees they get from the government, or any other debt not incurred to the Mafia or drug gangs who might kill them or one of their bastard kids.  Nobody has the foggiest idea of where exactly the money comes from to build highways, schools, crooked labor unions, rapacious stock brokers who kick back tons of money to both political parties, and so on.  None understand that everything built during the last century before WWII was funded by foreign capital provided by human beings and governments sure that they would be paid back because our financial system would never let them down.  No more.  We are Greece without Aristotle, Germany without Confucius, Italy without Caesar afraid to state our past and our accomplishments.  Afraid of our excellence ashamed of our selves.

Are We Dumb and Dumber

History Lesson on Your Social Security Card
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this It's easy to check out if you don't believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what happened, and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts.

Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated that both the SS number and the cards were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.

Our Social Security: Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised: 
 1.) That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary,
No longer Voluntary
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program, It's Now 7.65% on the first $90,000 ( Whoopsie, $110,100 CURRENTLY ! )
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,
No longer tax deductible
4.) That the money the participants "donated" would be put into the independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the general operating fund.  (Ho ho that's Rich) Therefore the money collected would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and, Under Johnson the money was moved to The General Fund and Spent......
5.) .....that the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed
as income.  
Under Clinton/Gore Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed.
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month -- and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to 'put away' -- you may be interested in the following:

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the General fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?

  A: That's right!

Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!

Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away! 

Vote early and often, not that it will do any good.

You May Be a Terror Suspect

EMAIL RECEIVED:

Very Important....   I am a retired Police officer with the Texas Highway Patrol........... If you know veterans and gun owners, please pass this on to them. Be very cautious about what you say and to whom.

 " I am passing this along...there are comments from two other people.  I have also been asked if we keep guns in the house. The nurse just kinda slipped it in along with all the other regular questions.  I told her I refused to answer because it was against the law to ask.  

   Everyone, whether you have guns or not, should give a neutral answer so they have no idea who does and who doesn't. My doctor asked me if I had guns in my house and also if any were loaded.  I , of course, answered yes to both questions. 

   Then he asked why I kept a loaded gun close to my bed.  I answered that my son, who is a certified gun instructor and also works for Homeland Security,  advised me that an unloaded, locked up gun is no protection against criminal attack. 

   The Government now requires these questions be asked of people on Medicare, and probably everyone else. 

    Just passing this along for your information: I had to visit a doctor other than my regular doctor when my doctor was on vacation.  One of the questions on the form I had to fill out was: Do you have any guns in your house?? My answer was None of your damn business!!  So it is out there! It is either an insurance issue or government intervention.    Either way, it is out there and the second the government gets into your medical records (As they want to under Obamacare) it will become a major issue and will ultimately result in lock and load!! Please pass this on to all the other retired guys and gun owners...

   Thanks From a Vietnam Vet and retired Police Officer: I had a doctors appointment at the local VA clinic yesterday and found out something very interesting that I would like to pass along. While going through triage before seeing the doctor, 

   I was asked at the end of the exam, three questions: 1. Did I feel stressed? 2. Did I feel threatened? 3. Did I feel like doing harm to someone? The nurse then informed me, that if I had answered yes to any of the questions, I would have lost my concealed carry permit as it would have gone into my medical records and the VA would have reported it to Homeland Security.

    Looks like they are going after the vets first. Other gun people like retired law enforcement will probably be next. Then when they go after the civilians, what argument will they have? Be forewarned and be aware.  

   The Obama administration has gone on record as considering veterans and gun owners potential terrorists. Whether you are a gun owner veteran or not, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!! If you know veterans and gun owners, please pass this on to them. 

   Be very cautious about what you say and to whom. _ Food for Thought. Never trust a dog to guard your food.

 To God





 There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses.
 
 One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God with no actual address. He thought he should open it to see what it was about.
 
 The letter read:
 
 Dear God,
 
 I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension.
 
 Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had $100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension payment.
 
 Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with, have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me?
 
 Sincerely, Edna

The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few dollars.
 
 By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman..
 
 
 The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends.
 
 Christmas came and went.
 
 A few days later, another letter came from the same old lady to God.
 
 All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened.
 
 It read:
 
 Dear God,
 
 How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me?
 
 Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift.
 
 By the way, there was $4 missing.
 
 I think it might have been those bastards at the post office.
 
 Sincerely,
Edna

 

 

MOVIE REVIEW: "Hunger Games"

Hunger Games, a two generation phenomenon that seems to be affecting almost everyone, and all agree it's well made and pretty scary.  My view, derived from friends and family plus a few civilians:

Starting with tweeners and up they all love it to death; but beginning with thirty somethings and older most seem to hate it to the point of revulsion.  Many are sorry they actually took their young kids to see it at all feeling it is marketed deceptively as a PG when it should be an obvious "R" (even though the young kids actually read the book and loved it).  The books have been read and read by all young people for nearly a year and so there are no plot surprises for them, while adults have ignored what was perceived as another dumb SciFi novel best left unread.  In these days of everything being political I can only view this as the noises from my liberal friends in LA which are that the movie was written and produced by Rush Limbaugh and the rest of his government hating friends and meant to create hatred of the Obama government among our sex crazed youth who are too dumb to think "correctly" about stuff and, while "we are all for freedom of speech" there is some speech that should not be allowed and this perfectly ghastly movie (set in the future where American adolescents are forced to participate in televised battles to the death) clearly falls into in this category.  So we are all warned to "discuss" this horrible movie with our kids so they don't come to some Right Wing conclusion about life, art, movies, and Republicans.  The few Righties I know see this movie as a demonstration of what an out of control liberal government will inevitably descend into as it will select those who deserve to be destroyed by an approving political class who dance with glee over each and every murder.  My conclusion: a scary fucking SciFi movie with a rather usual premise if you are a SciFi reader of nearly everything. 

It's good and scary so see it without any preconceptions.  Really really good but if any of your kids seem to like it too much he or she might bear watching for a while because it's never too early to catch a potential Republican thought and crush it.

Really good artificial wave pools have arrived on the scene.  The waves being generated now are small but the capability for six footers is obvious.  Check this out courtesy of Surfer Mag and see if it doesn't tickle your inner wipe out........Rides are long and waves are several hundred yards wide....
