Yo, hello to all of ya!
Merry CHRISTmas and Happy New Year!
Couldn't help but cut and paste this delightful article on another completely stupid Muslim move.
These people want to be taken seriously for their beliefs and such, yet one reads about this type of assault with regularity. I ask you, how do you defend Mr. Mimoune? Don't tell me he is poverty stricken and uneducated either. I don't care. The point is, that if he's illiterate he really doesn't understand what his beliefs are either. So all he knows is how to act out what he has been taught from other Muslims,his Imam etc. If this is true, it is all a cult mentality. So logically, Muslim = Cult.
Oh and one other thing.
If the nurse was a friend of mine I would have kicked his little bitch ass!
Happy reading Y'all.

French Muslim Jailed for Punching Nurse Who Removed His Wife's Burqa
Published December 23, 2011
NewsCore
PARIS – A Muslim man has been jailed in France for punching a nurse who tried to remove his wife's burqa during an emergency C-section.
Nassim Mimoune, 24, was earlier banned from the delivery room after calling a midwife a "rapist" when she tried to perform an intimate examination on his wife in a Marseille hospital on Monday, La Provence newspaper reported.
The pregnant woman, who had been having contractions for two days when she was admitted, begged her husband to allow the examination, but he threatened her with divorce.
Mimoune, a construction worker from Paris, was then taken away to view the childbirth from another room, but flew into a rage when he saw the nurse removing his wife's burqa.
He smashed open the locked door of the operating room and punched the woman in the face, telling her to replace his wife's Islamic veil.
He was arrested on a charge of assault while his wife delivered a healthy baby boy.
Jailing him Wednesday for six months, the investigating judge described him as putting, "his religious dogma above the laws of the Republic and his French citizenship."
Mimoune apologized in court for his actions and admitted that he had endangered his unborn child.
He said seeing his wife's veil lifted in front of a male health worker was like seeing her "bare-chested" in front of another man.

So I was wrong.... Ouch, Herman Cain.
Well looks like Herman left his ballz on the mantle for this Christmas. I guess I just got over zealous with my hope in him. An articulate successful black man, not at all like Obozo. Have ya noticed that jobs are picking up and the economy is starting to buzz? It's because we're going to have an election people! The current administration is scared shitless! Thats why all of these friggin Obozo photo ops. Barry ended the war and is bringing home our troops. FALSE! Barry jump started our poor economy. FALSE! Barry has created jobs and the unemployment levels are dropping. FALSE! (See earlier blog on employment please).
People are feeling like there is change in the air, and once we get the idiot out of office America will shine again, NO THANKS to the current administration. The real thing is we all will have HOPE after he's gone and then we will welcome real change with a new president.
People are EXCITED because Obozo's gonna be out of job come January 2013, when that happens the rats will begin the tell all series of books on just how bad it WAS during the Obozo Whitehouse. In the meantime, I will admit I was wrong in predicting Cains victory. I have noticed that the libs are trying to steer the election of the nominee thay want for the GOP. Look at this way. If Romney wins, the Dems win. If Gingrich gets the nomination.... er, well, Obozo has a good chance of beating that rat bastard. Four more years of Barry Obozo? Hell no! Cyanide laced kool aide parties would run rampant. The South might even rise again. Oh yeah, Perry's in the mix, forget that last statement. For you haters, look at how the media reports on the GOP, if you can't read between the lines your screwed. Hate to see you go Herman Cain, I even hope you have a chance at secretary of state, but I doubt it. If your gonna cut and run because of "untrue" pot shots at your family, I don't want you in charge of the front lines of my freedom. That being said.... almost a year before the vote and as Hunter S. Thompson stated, "when the going gets weird - the weird turn pro". I'm turning pro folks.

Thank God for Women - and let's just leave it at that
I love women, all women. That is not to say that I find all women attractive, it's more the attitude that women carry. I'm 53 years old now, and I think that would make me an "old fucker' by my own standards. I like to hear people say 50 is the new 30....er yeah. The point is, I think I know less about women now than when I was younger, go figure. Maybe I have been lucky or unlucky or whatever.... but I have met very few women who lacked any self confidence. I mean, I know quite a few women and when I sit back and think about it, it becomes clear that most women ARE fearless. I just don't get it.
As it happens, yesterday was a "people watching day". There is a little open air bar down the street that has live music every Sunday afternoon. Now I'm a huge music fan and classic rock and the blues just do it for me. Anyway... as we're all aware of, hopefully, a little booze can loosen the inhibitions and then there is no telling what can happen. I was sitting there having a cold one and enjoying the tunes, kinda eye ballin the crowd. That's when she appeared right in front of me on the dance floor.
Now forgive me, but this is gonna help me make my point. We all have tastes that are unique to each of us. As I describe this lady, just keep in mind that my opinion means squat to 50 million Chinese and most of you who read this. She was damn near six feet tall, pushin about 220 pounds, wedged into a pair Levi's that were several sizes to small and had the "cool" holes in the knees and on the ass area of the faded britches. The top to this outfit was just a tight ass black leather motorcycle vest with no bra (I know because her tits were coming out both the front an the sides). A huge ass black leather belt with a pink peace sign buckle, and lace fringe on each pant leg. A motorcycle wallet with a long chain was connected to the belt, finished with lace up, black boots. She had red hair and freckles and an almost pretty face. Zero inhibition when it came to dancing.
And dance she did folks. She let it all hang out, so to speak. She was fearless and she used every inch of the dance floor to shake, shimmy, roll, slide and glide, yep I said glide, because she did that too, as well as whoop holler and sing along with the band.. Man she was having fun out there, next thing you know the dance floor was packed and they started some kind of train style line dance, you know who the engine was right? So my point is, have you ever seen a man pull something like this off? Frankly, I don't know a man who has the cajones to do that, no matter how much alcohol. I've decided that women just don't give a rats ass what anyone thinks, and maybe that's how it should be.
Know your own inner beauty. Unleash your wild side and to hell with what anyone thinks. She was happy, smiling and the center of attention, while more than one of us sat there wishing we had that kind of courage. I love women. Thanks for the lesson.
The women in my family are no different. Except that they are style fashionista's. My mother has owned a boutique shop for over thirty years, between her and my sister, they can do anything, pros in the fashion biz. Throw my niece into the mix and they become world class. So to round it out... one time I heard the comedienne Carol Burnett describe child birth as "Imagine pulling your bottom lip out as far as you can and then stretching it over the back of your head", I guess when dealin with that, overweight and dirty dancin just pales in comparison.

Talking Heads
Sitting here piddling in the kitchen about to go to work and felt this urge to make a comment about the 2012 presidential election. On occasion I have been known to listen to conservative talk radio...... however, that shit is really starting to grow old. Funny how we're a year away from the actual election and there are people already declaring who the winner is gonna be. Yeah, no shit. Some woman was on "Hannity" and stated that Romney, hands down, would win the GOP nomination. Ok, so all the other candidates and their supporters just need to acquiesce and walk away. DUMBASS! She went as far as to state that Perry should withdraw and endorse Romney. WTF? Hannity, where did you dredge up this idiot? I actually believe that conservatism is about to reach the margin of diminishing returns. Beck, oh my goodness? He's crazy. These guys are getting paid big dollars too. Remember the article I wrote about money and the evil it brings? Absolute money corrupts absolutely as well.
So where are we today? Iran is still behind the 8 ball, seems like China and Russia may not be so eager to enforce the sanctions that the U.S. wants in place. Meanwhile, Israel is talking preeminent strike. Have things always been this crazy and skewed? It's like everything has been turned upside down and the order reversed. What was left is right, good is bad and black is white. During all this, I feel like chicken little running around hollering the sky is falling. Is it true that Rupert Murdoch is as slimey as most of those on the left? It's starting to look like it.
Tell you what. I'm gonna chalk all this up to it being "almost" election year. Guess we got a good head start on it. All the idiots are out of the closet, everyone with a video camara an a microphone are "legitimate" news sources, reporting the facts as they fit best. Truth.... oh sweet truth, how in the hell do we find you?
LMAO in Texas

Michael Jackson + OJ Simpson = California Justice?
Well people, it's final.... again. California justice at work. It makes you either want to puke or laugh out loud. The same "golden" state that found OJ Simpson "Innocent", has found Dr. Conrad Murray guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Can you say travesty?
From the state that provides us with outstanding legal representation such as Gloria Allred. A woman who has the ability to drag out some of the most vile creatures from some dark hole, parade them around on TV in an effort to get a public condemnation of whomever is in the media hot spot. Only to slink out of sight when nothing has been proven, only that the accused would rather the issue "go away" rather than be crucified by the court of public opinion. The same state where Lindsay Lohan has a perpetual get out of jail free card. In Texas, people would be asking who she was screwing, cause folks that just doesn't happen.
As we all know, or must of us anyway. The truth eventually comes forth. Poor OJ, think he hasn't relived a few moments of his life over and over and over. If there is such a thing as hell on earth, and I think there is. I know OJ is living there. His outlook...... sadness and pain with no Hollywood happy ending. Ms. Allred will continue to have her time in the sun, for awhile. Lindsay Lohan will probably and sadly, die before she turns 28, only to become another footnote of promise gone bad. The tragic death of yet another beautiful young starlet that succumbs to the trappings of the golden state and Hollywood hype.
What of Dr. Conrad Murray? A man guilty of what? Telling Michael Jackson no. What does the Jackson family get by this hollow victory? Maybe to push aside the guilt that each of them bear, maybe it's in hopes that by having Michael be the victim here, it will diminish the pedophile accusations. But what about them? What about the families that were damaged by Michael, the children that lost their innocence. Dr. Murray may have been guilty of many things, I just do not believe that the death of Michael Jackson is one of them. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Just like all of the families that ventured to "Wonderland Ranch" with big dreams and high hopes. In this life and certainly in California, the good don't always win and the innocent don't always stay out of jail. People are fickle and evil is alive and well.

You heard it here! I'm pissed off!
Well?????? Please do not tell me your surprised at Herman Cain running into a shit storm? That is kinda what I was talkin about people. The ever so trusty media is going to bash whomever the leading conservative is. Newt, Mitt, Perry and now Cain. Even Ms. Bachmann had her moment. If you want to know who the left is the most afraid of, just listen to the news. Yep, that easy. Whoever is making headlines for some accusation or implied injustice based on he said she said, that would be the same individual that is the republican candidate in the lead, for the moment anyway. Who drums up this bullshit? Groups like the DNC, Politico, MSNBC, CNN, Rainbo Coalition, NAACP, LULAC. (Oh and if it turns out that Perry's camp provided the fodder against Cain, I will personally campaign against Perry.) It grabs the headlines and then 3 years down the road it fades into oblivion, oh that didn't really happen? We're sorry. It's true what you heard, the people on "the left" actually do eat their own. Keith Olbermann, a prime example. He had his head so far up his own ass he turned inside out, where's he now....?
America, the land of fools. Tell me, who do you really trust? Who do you believe? People are just now starting to realize that Wall St. has been ripping them off for years, that the whole thing is a scam, kinda like the FED, we have to pay interest to borrow our own money. The little guy, the small time investors. You put your money in and guess what? You just financed a new car for some jack ass or paid off a bar tab, financed a vacation... etc.., either way your money is G - O - N - E!! The American thieves on Wall St. were really good, and a bit more intelligent than the operators in Europe. The euro is taking a big stinking dump as I type this, and those people in Greece are getting a lesson in "fleece", because that is exactly what has happened. Will Greece need to be bailed out, yep, just like the other little podunk countries with no economy. This should be the anti poster for Obama's social program. Why, because everything these countries had was based on US dollars that were GIVEN to them. Not a loan, a frigging gift that us little middle class Americans have paid for and will never see a dime of. Am I pissed off....... your damn right I am. Just remember this. Everyone you know, everyone....... loves money more than they love you. You hear that? Everyone loves money more than they love you. Think about it. What would it take for you to walk away from your spouse, or kids, your family? I hear y'all out there, "Oh my lord, I would never ever do that, I love my family.", yep. I promise you, that there is a price, that YOU would take to leave your family. I promise you that for half of that price and less, you would betray every friend you have or have had. How can I say that? Wall St. baby, it has proven it to me. Then the Madoff family and the book coming out. Who's throwin who under the bus there?
It's friggin sad, but yep! I know I have a price as well. The good thing is, that for the time being anyway there is no way in hell someone is gonna offer me the crazy money it would take for me to tell Momz to kiss my ass, or anyone else in my family for that matter. There is no reason and I don't have anything to offer. I'm just another hard working knuckled head ,that feels I at least have the right to bitch and moan about the way the middle class is treated.
One last thing before I relax. Our US economy sucks ass right now. You know who us little guys can blame? Our president. Hear me out on this. Are jobs available wherever you are right now? I mean jobs that at least pay above the poverty level? No? Hmmmm. Know any one that does hourly work? Skilled or unskilled, it does not matter. Here is the truth. The health care plan that Odumbo put into effect has serious repercussions. If you are fortunate enough to live in an area where they are hiring for anything, look a little deeper. I know many people that have recently been able to find hourly employment, the kicker is even though they might earn a great hourly wage, you can bet your ass they are not getting a 40 hour work week. Why? Because then these employers would have to provide........ YEP, you got it, health insurance. So, the unemployment rate essentially is meaning less. Things have got to change people, and it needs to start now. Make a difference where you are, or give em hell trying.

Election 2012, am I the only embarrassed Conservative?
G'morning, g'morning, g'mornin!! I feeeel goood, waaaoo! Ok, got that out of the way. Confession time is here again my friends. I have been on a self imposed hiatus from writing anything that would be strongly political, not because I'm pissing people off, but because I got tired of being pissed off. That being said, I feel a new wave starting to build.
As a conservative independent, I am greatly concerned (scared to death), about the 2012 presidential election. 1st and foremost, please do not believe anything you read in ANY newspaper about polls etc. The left, which use to be a bit less biased, is having a field day with all of these GOP debates. Also, the candidates are having no problem supplying them with ammunition. In reality these pundits should just laugh and watch as the candidates self implode.
This is my take on the state of GOP nominee for the current time.
Berry Obozo is crashing and burning daily, like a film loop, over and over and over. I cannot believe he is taking credit for any of the military actions that have occurred, or that he has changed some of the "foundation" issues to his health care plan. I'm not about to start talking about the mega failure of his jobs program and stimulus programs, for more on that listen to the late night talk show hosts. What I want to see is how this "Solyndra", 500 million dollar scandal, affects his administration. Three years, and all of his promises are yet to take root. When you are 3 years in, and still blaming the previous administration, puh lease..... Notice how Hilary is staying out of the news....?
Mitt Romney, who in the hell would ever vote for this guy? He's pompous, argumentative, has no idea about jobs and his religious views? He has no plans. He's Teflon and will take no blame for anything. He has no idea about border security, and he was Governor of Massachusetts. Can you say Kennedy? No way.....
Rick Perry take a bow. This guy, he is a piece of work. To tell you the truth I don't know much about Rick Perry. I do know that if he embarrasses me, then he must look like an idiot to a whole bunch of folks. Seems like the whole time he has been Governor the only time you hear from him is when there is a photo op. I don't think he's presidential material because he has been really weak on border security and that to me is something the Governor of Texas should have a strong opinion on. Then there was his talk of Texas seceding from the union. Maybe we Texans have not really watched him close enough because we've been occupied with Obozo and the left taking all those pot shots at G.W. while our economy turned to shit and Obozo needed someone to blame. I'm sorry, but Mr. Governor you are really gonna have to impress me over the next 13 months to get my vote.
Michele Bachmann, hahahahahahhha whatever...... Not no, but HELL NO!!!
Rick Santorum, if you could by this guy for what he is actually worth and sell him for what he thinks he is worth, we're talking instant zillionaire...... You pay of the countries debt, build fences everywhere, feed and house the homeless, to bad. Just like his presidential run it's only fantasy.
Herman Cain. I think this guy will be where the smart money goes. He damn sure aint perfect but he has a proven track record. Who else does? Zippo! Plus whether you like it or not, the truth is, his color will be an asset for him.
Yes that is sad indeed, but people welcome to America! Where our wizard lives in the whitehouse and our countries image is created with smoke and mirrors. Where our leaders lie to our faces and then deny deny deny. When you have fat slobs like Micheal Moorer getting fatter and richer by making slander a successful enterprise. If that alone does not piss you off....... well... sad to say but your already infected.

He's Teflon and will take no blame for anything. He has no idea about border security, and he was Governor of Massachusetts. Can you say Kennedy? No way.....
Rick Perry take a bow. This guy, he is a piece of work. To tell you the truth I don't know much about Rick Perry. I do know that if he embarrasses me, then he must look like an idiot to a whole bunch of folks. Seems like the whole time he has been Governor the only time you hear from him is when there is a photo op. I don't think he's presidential material because he has been really weak on border security and that to me is something the Governor of Texas should have a strong opinion on. Then there was his talk of Texas seceding from the union. Maybe we Texans have not really watched him close enough because we've been occupied with Obozo and the left taking all those pot shots at G.W. while our economy turned to shit and Obozo needed someone to blame. I'm sorry, but Mr. Governor you are really gonna have to impress me over the next 13 months to get my vote.
Michele Bachmann, hahahahahahhha whatever...... Not no, but HELL NO!!!
Rick Santorum, if you could by this guy for what he is actually worth and sell him for what he thinks he is worth, we're talking instant zillionaire...... You pay of the countries debt, build fences everywhere, feed and house the homeless, to bad. Just like his presidential run it's only fantasy.
Herman Cain. I think this guy will be where the smart money goes. He damn sure aint perfect but he has a proven track record. Who else does? Zippo! Plus whether you like it or not, the truth is, his color will be an asset for him.
Yes that is sad indeed, but people welcome to America! Where our wizard lives in the whitehouse and our countries image is created with smoke and mirrors. Where our leaders lie to our faces and then deny deny deny. When you have fat slobs like Micheal Moorer getting fatter and richer by making slander a successful enterprise. If that alone does not piss you off....... well... sad to say but your already infected.

"Slutwalk" in Houston......Thank You Toronto PD!
First I would like to start with the fact that my own town has one of the leading OBESITY rates in America. Houston and the Lonestar state are quickly becoming the first in "FATASS". That being said....
Yep, quite a few Houston women took exception to the fact that a Toronto police offer made the comment that women should avoid "dressing like sluts". OK, now think about that a minute....pause.....ok, got it. What was your mental picture? Where do you stand on that comment? Personally I guess I straddle the fence. The beach and the swimming pool, gyms, any frigging day from April to September when it's 105 degrees in the shade. Uh huh, welcome to swampy ol Houston Folks. Maybe an exception to the rule, you decide.
As we've seen from "People of Wal-Mart", some might take it a bit too extreme. I guess my argument is this, if you DO NOT want people to gawk at you and your body, maybe you should be a little more discreet in how you dress. Soooooo I have to say that actually having a "slutwalk" and dressing for the occasion, stop your whining! I mean puh---lease.... if your gonna walk around damn near naked, I am gonna gawk! PERIOD! It doesn't matter what you look like. Ladies you need to fess up to the fact that if ya dress for attention.... er.... your most likely gonna get attention.
So KISS, keep it simple stupid. Dress with your ass or your breasts hangin out and then take offense, STFU! Wear a burka! Seems to work for most women in the middle east.
Well it's 11am and 92 degrees with the humidity at 66%. Guess I'll go watch the show!

This is gettin old, GLAAD needs to go away!
What the Hell did I say? Let me start off by saying this. My brother Rik died at the age of 32 from AIDS. He was a homosexual, he was NOT in the closet. He was a good guy and I loved him very, very much. Having said that, I also know that my brother would have told GLAAD to kiss his gay ass when it comes to the weak bullshit this organization gets itself mixed up in. So...., AGAIN, this is NOT an attack on homosexuals, but my thoughts on actions I have seen or read about from one gay organization, GLAAD.
Recently in San Francisco in a Gay softball league, a court allowed the league to place a restriction on how many "straight" people could play for a team. Yep, go back and reread that little sentence. GOOGLE it or as I like to say "whatever"! Can you imagine if us "evil" heterosexuals tried to place any limitations like that, not gonna happen. Now tell me this, are these the organizations that have mission statements that read all about creating FAIR and EQUAL opportunities for the members they represent? WTF, then they turn around and use the same tactics without batting an eye. I'm sorry, but again I have to say political correctness aside, you need a bitch slap in my humble opinion.
Just read this a.m. about two Lesbians at a MLB game. They filed suit against the stadium because a stadium employee quoted a bible verse to them while they were er.. kissing. The women stated it was just a brief kiss while many witnesses stated otherwise, more like heavy petting, and the term disgust was mentioned several times.
Ok, so why am I "gay bashing"? I'm not you dumb ass! The fact is I do not care what your sexual tastes are, what your level of kink is or what else you do behind closed doors. Bring it out in the open and I will be the first one to have a vocal/written comment about my thoughts on it. The fact is, it disgusts me to see the antics of most public displays of affection. Get a friggin room. So please gay people, FNNNN grow up! Quit your crying, your starting to sound like Leonard Pitts and his quest to stop slavery in the U.S., oops hey Leonard, that battle has been over a long time. I have an idea, Mr. Pitts can pick up the flag of GLAAD and continue his anti white American banter for the liberation of the those persecuted GLAAD members.
You know, I think there are alot more people that have thoughts similar to mine, than not. I think the only way to keep the turds of America where they belong, is to actually acknowledge and vigorusly FLUSH the friggin toilet!
Just to change topics, I recently bought the Kindle 3rd generation with wifi and 3G. I am very pleased with it. I went online and purchased Chelsea Handlers recent book "My Horizontal Life". My confession is this. I have had a raving mad sexual attraction for Ms. Handler for quite sometime. Then I read the book. It was like reading the female version of my life, not so much as in the circumstances she was involved in, but in the sheer absurdity of how we chose to live. At any rate it was a funny and sexy book, after reading it I needed a shower. Thanks Chelsea it was fun.
Lastly and I will leave you with this, also today I read that San Fransico is about to ban the ownership of goldfish. Now get this, the idea is that by banning ownership, they will be able to stop the long suffering of these poor little fish. OMG!!!! Hey, Nancy Pelosi is probably behind all of this. Stepping off............

America is full of idiots!
Hello hello hello, jeez what set me off this a.m.? Oh yeah, it was that cockamamie BS story I read on Yahoo Health. People, look around, do you REALLY understand the number of dumb asses that are occupying space and breathing air when they have absolutely nothing to offer anyone? Ok, ok, ok Ron. Calm down...... Yeah, WHATEVER!!!
Yahoo Health, what a friggin joke. Some writer, a MS. Cool, yes I am serious. Well she wrote about cancerous hazards that might "just surprise us". Yep I was surprised. Two cups of coffee a day is likely going to give you the big "C" and KILL YOU DEAD!!!!!!!!
Then I read her source, and here is the 1st sentence of the abstract she used to derive at this piece of idiocy.
"Epistemological studies have evaluated the potential association between coffee consumption and lung cancer risk. However, results were inconsistent". Oh and there is more, all of the scientists where Chinese and this came from some institute in Shanghai China. WTF??
I am praying for this worlds population, but I wonder if the worlds sign of intelligent life is starting to dim? Have a great day and think about it. One person CAN make a difference, two people can change the world!

Let's talk Food for a minute.
Hi, I'm moving around a little late this early afternoon. Well, I left the bistro I helped open and have moved on to one of my all time favorite restaurants. I never mention the names publicly on the blog, but if you must know, well then you can email me and I will be happy to tell you.
If your a foodie it will be very easy to figure it out anyway.
Been doing Italian for the past while and after opening the bistro in the Woodlands, I have to tell you it was quite exciting to move downtown to a 40 year institution in Houston. It burned down during Ike and reopened in 2010. The last hint is that we serve cajun cuisine with a continental flair. A regular taste of "Nawlins".
I am saucier chef de parti, which is a fancy way of saying "the saute line cook". What the hell does that mean? Well without getting into a culinary lesson, the traditional large kitchen staff was set up under the "brigade" system. Yes, that is a military term as well. In the kitchen it is a chain of command or order to the actual food production.
It was developed by Escoffier and identifies who's who and what their responsibilities are. It's really very interesting, even if your not all that into food. Moving on.
I was saying, it is an honor to be part of such history and tradition that this restaurant offers. Then there is the food!!! Oh my gosh, the meats, the fowl, the fish and the soups. The sauces, the desserts. The best of the best and only, yes only, the freshest ingredients. At my station I prepare the red fish in a chardonnay fume with risotto and lump crab topping, or the Texas Strip with a wild mushroom demi on top of lyonnaise potato's with spinache. If fish and steak are not your thing, I also prepare the duck and duck sausage with fried rice a blue berry demi and topped with julienned tomatoes, and bean sprouts presented with a fried quail egg. Yes it frigging rocks. You might want to order something more traditionaly cajun, like a crawfish mache choux, very similiar to etouffe but a few ingredients make it different. There is also the gulf coast shrimp chippiwa. Five jumbo U 12 shrimp sauteed table side and served with corn grits and an acadian sauce that is out of this world. All of this comes from my station, then there are the others that prepare their own menu items that are just as exciting and unique.
I'm getting hungry..... and I just wanted to talk about something other than obozo for a change. Now that the bistro is up and running and I have moved to my dream job, I will have more time to tell you just what I think!
Peace, from Texas!

Fonda on Obama.... and the left. Obama sucks.... still!
Sup y'all,
This caught my eye this am. Peter Fonda at the Cannes talking about long range rifles and Barry O. Seems like he has committed a federal crime, or at least that is what all the lefties are claiming. Wonder how sister Jane would have have felt about all of this? Oh wait, she's not dead, she's just old and bitter. Life is so funny sometimes. The left, the left, the left. If this bunch of snot nosed, weak knee'd pussies knew anything at all about the real world, they would be crying for their momma.
Ok we finally got Osama, and who took the credit? Oh yeah, it was o'bozo. Funny how he was so frigging critical of the Bush policies, yet we see this dipshit starting to take the same route, making ninety degree policy changes. I am ashamed of this idiot, I am embarrassed at what he has made the U.S. look like. 2012 cannot get here fast enough.
Let me tell you something to watch for. Your gonna hear all about how o'bozo's approval rating is going up, how the lefty/lib/dems are starting to get their "momentum" back from the conservatives...., no HOLD that, from the AMERICAN people. It's all BULLSHIT!! If you have one iota of intelligence, Talk to some people that are not in your Circle of influence or friends. Ask them about o'bozo, I bet you 10 to 1 that there are more o'bozo haters than there are supporters. In all communities!
I think we spend way to much money on Israel, having said that, this just may be what pushes barry over the edge. His muslim belief has caused him to piss off the Jewish people and he has no idea of how large that political base is. Barry I am going to love watching you make excuses for your presidency for the rest of my life. All these millions going to the middle east, you really are an absolute idiot.
We have not made it through this administration yet, God willing we will overcome this dufus! I try to stay focused and look at the bright side. It has been glorious to not have to see and hear piglosi every day in the media. Harry Reid's kid made me feel better about myself by his corruptness coming to light, Harry's days are numbered too. I am really very excited to see what happens to Barney Frank, I kind of hope it goes down like the IMF chairman, with the exception that Barney chases some 28 year old guy who beats the shit out of him. Who knows....could happen.

Fact or Fiction? The Democrats and Social Security
Goodmorning Y'all!
I was reading an email from a friend who is, shall I say on the verge of the extreme right. I know his heart is in the right place. At any rate, I have seen this several times on the web. Posting this today because it made me have a "HMMMMM" moment. So briefly, here is what I am talking about.
" 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,
Now 7.65%
on the first $90,000
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 put into the
independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the
general operating fund, and therefore, 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?
AND MY FAVORITE:
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!".
Any naysayers? Rebuttle? Anything?
Have a great weekend!

Yo, Thanks again barry.
OK, I guess the Monday night barry da bozo show, finally swayed the opinion of a few people I know and care about. You see, these people actually voted for this POS a few short years ago. Man, I'm telling you, you couldn't have a civil conversation with them if you tried to talk politics. Do you know what I mean? They bought into the smoke and mirrors. “What are his qualifications?” would set off a shit storm! Fast forward two years and what do we have to cheer about? We can cheer about the fact that a lot of misguided, misinformed and sadly mistaken people are starting to realize that they believed in a fairy tale, just like Santa and the Easter bunny. I will be the first to admit that it sounded good, “Change” for America, well hell yeah!!!!! Fix these problems barry, unite the people barry, close down GITMO barry, fix the health plan, win the Nobel Peace Prize barry.. oh you did, that's right... that is why I refuse to EVER have any respect for that organization again. By selecting obozo and bringing a pall over the previous recipients, the Nobel Prize credibility fell on it's ass, period. Just as the case with NPR, which is in the process of losing it's funding and rightly so. It's fun to watch the drama unfold.
Juan Williams gets fired and the house of cards starts to fold. You know how they say that cream rises to the top? Well shit floats to the top as well. So yes, the fantasy sounded good, it was just to good to be true, and hence.... reality bitch slapped more than one dream intoxicated dem/lib/prog.
So Monday, March 28th, 2011, some of my dear friends FINALLY GOT IT! Damn it feels good! The best thing is, that my “free thinking” friends who absolutely despised GW, are paying attention to the world around them now. Doing a lot more research and fact finding, they seem to “think more” about something a bit longer before stating it as fact, rather than foaming at the mouth and screaming. I mean after all, these are the highly educated, superior intelligence, masters of the universe, or so they have told me. They make more money, dress better than me, drive a more expensive car and live in a bigger house. There you have it. That is what makes them better, “bigger and more”, WTF happened to us America? Maybe, just maybe, if we're not speaking Chinese and swearing on the Koran here in the USA in the next few years, it will be because the dem/lib/prog takes a deep breath and realizes they made a mistake with this knucklehead. I am hopeful, but I ain't putting money on it.
I need more coffee.

Maybe, just maybe, if we're not speaking Chinese and swearing on the Koran here in the USA in the next few years, it will be because the dem/lib/prog takes a deep breath and realizes they made a mistake with this knucklehead. I am hopeful, but I ain't putting money on it.
I need more coffee.

WTF???? Rhymes with Geoduck!
Now you know why this piece has the title it does. I have never heard of this bad boy. I've lived in southern cali, and even in Seattle for awhile. Dug for clams in both places, now I see this and yeah, WTF?
I found the article posted on FOXNEWS.COM and had to share it.
It’s not a duck, but it sure is gooey.
"The poorly-spelled geoduck, which is pronounced “gooey duck,” is a large, burrowing clam that is native to the coastal waters of the Pacific Northwest. With a six-inch shell and up to a three-foot long siphon sticking out of it, it’s an odd duck, to say the least.
Burrowing deep within the soil below the salty waters, the mollusk has been known to live up to 150 years thanks to a paucity of predators for the strange-looking creature. But, of course, we number among them.
Not a common site on American tables outside of Washington and Oregon, the geoduck is close to common fare in its natural habitat, where its scallop-like texture is found to be appealing to many shellfish fans. Available for less than $10 a pop in local spots like Seattle's Pike Place Market, your best bet for buying it outside of the region is from online outlets like Marx Foods or Taylor Shellfish Farms, but it can cost $25 per pound or more.
Perhaps not surprisingly, it is also a prized delicacy in East Asia, where it is considered by some to be an aphrodisiac. A passing glance at its shape probably explains why.
Over there it’s eaten every which way – with spicy chilies, wasabi, and even raw – but geoduckrecipes.com suggests trying it in a white wine risotto with parmesan cheese, which sounds pretty tasty, but would you eat it?".
Would you? As a working chef, I can promise you I would give it a try and I have aready been thinking about all the cool things you could do with it.
Currently working on a piece for my soap box, a little ranting and raving. We been so busy trying to get the new place open that I have actually been able to sleep like a normal person. Go figure. Anyway I hope you believers out there are praying for Japan, as am I. I know the timing is never right for such a devestating event to occur. I'm just looking for a "silver lining" for lack of a better term. I was talking to some friends, as well as co workers, even my mother about the radiation exposure. What struck me as awesome was that each of us had thought on own, that maybe this was God saying "whoa, you need to rethink this nuclear bomb and nuclear war threats. Look what POSITIVE nuclear use is capable of, stay away". I'm hoping all living people are thinking the same thing as well. Nuclear weapons and radiation death is the gift that keeps on giving.
Please pray and give what you have to offer the Japanese. I cannot imagine the horrors and fear that must be rampant in that beautiful country.

Something to Think about.
An earthquake, tsunami, death, destruction and and crippled nuclear plants. And how's your week been? Very bad for Japan. What concerns me the most is watching helicopters deliver water to the damaged nuclear plants. When I think of Japan, I don't think of Pearl Harbor, like my grandparents did, I think about Godzilla and Honda and booming technology. The cheap ass monster movies that used to terrify me until I actually saw the monster on screen, lets face it, Japan was very smart in switching to anime. Like a lot of Kung Fu movies, the English overdubbing was pretty erratic as well.
Now seeing news clips of helicopters carrying water in these huge buckets, well it was like something out of one of those terrible Japanese monster movies. It's like this seems so FAKE, how in the HELL do you battle radiation with large buckets of water? It just don't seem to correlate. OK, I know they are trying to cool the reactors down but you have to admit it seems a bit far fetched. Forest fires, sure, helicopters are used with regularity. My nuclear image, is of an Asian techno-scientist in a lab coat and a sterile environment, or at least using hazmat suits and the like with some kind of mystery end all to battle the radiation. Nobody gets dirty and eventually they find the right button to push or valve to close and it's all over. The movie ends and we go home.
Maybe I have seemed callous in writing this, however it is NOT the case. I can't imagine the stress that must be rampant all over Japan. I went through hurricane Ike and was with out power, gas and water for 18 days. That was no picnic, but to see a country virtually obliterated, I can only pray for them.
The point I am making is this, and think about it, Iran with a nuclear plant.
IRAN WITH A NUCLEAR PLANT!
What are your thoughts? The Japanese and the Iranians are not on the same scale. Education is at the forefront for the Japanese kids while the Iranians, er...... the boys are reading the Koran and learning about jihad and martyrdom. You just don't go from cave dweller to nuclear energy provider over a few years. True, there are many highly trained and skilled Iranian doctors and engineers. However, with the history of graft, war, poverty and Islamic rule, I am betting the a fore mentioned doctors and engineers are working in the USA and other modern countries. Think about it. Japanese culture is one of pride, perfection and honor and look at their history. OK and Iran? It is what it is people. I bet the Iranian plant has more engineering and construction faults than we can imagine. Throw in the stuxnet worm and who knows what the hell is gonna happen.
The Japanese, with highly skilled people, could not build a nuclear plant with all the necessary checks and balances to provide for a totally safe nuclear environment, maybe that's an oxymoron huh? Then we have Iranians, where truth depends on who is speaking, and where you protect your family honor by killing your daughter because she spoke to a male outside of the family. Sleep safe tonight.

Sex, Guns and Sharia Law, aint life great!
Howdy all, first and formost, you know how I like to share "interesting" items that I come across, today is no different. I have a little snippet article from "Guns and Patriots" that will probably anger some and make others tingle with glee. I know, I put sex ahead of guns in the title, life's not always in order either ok?

Hey Gunners,
Did you know your tax dollars fund the National Council of La Raza? I pulled their tax returns and found out that our government funnels big money to the illegal immigration lobby.
Project GunRunner is a joint project between the ATF and Justice Department. This program encourages straw buyers to make purchases on behalf of drug cartels and the result is a thousand or so guns going into the hands of Mexican drug gangs. One of those guns killed Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. Agent Terry was firing bean bags at an illegal immigrant that was armed with a gun that was supplied to him via Project GunRunner.
On September 7, 2010 Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a Mayor Michael Bloomberg lead organization, issued a statement that the guns used in crimes in Mexico are to be blamed on lax laws in the United States. Now Bloomberg and Senator Chuck Schumer are going after gun shows and want further restrictions on law abiding citizens outside of their own badly managed state.
So there you have it. Our government funds the illegal immigration lobby while our Border Patrol Agents are shooting bean bags at foreign criminals armed with guns supplied by the United States government who is going after private gun transactions based on rigged data about foreign gun seizures. I'm really looking forward to your comments this week. Please read and comment on Outrage! US Government Funding La Raza with Your Tax Dollars.
John Guandolo points out in his article The Muslim Brotherhood in America: Part II - MB History & Their Arrival in America that there are over 2,000 Islamic non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations in the United States. I wonder if our government will be funding these groups so that Sharia law can be printed in Spanish.
Stay loaded my friends,

*******************************************************************
Bloomberg and Schumer? Don't these two knuckleheads have enough problems with their own state? Bloomberg needs to get over his God complex, you wanna impress me Bloomberg, cure cancer, then end hunger and poverty while your at it. Well???
Sex time is here, are you ready? Is anyone other than me tired of the Amanda Knox menage a trois drama? I have tried to mantain some interest but it just aint happening. The truth is that this thing gets front page attention because of the sordid sexual details that people can allude to. It's like the perfect romance gone horribly wrong. An American woman in Italy with an Italian boyfriend, I mean how many romantic novels have started off this way. Throw in some drugs and alcohol and a little kinky sex, bing bang boom shit's goes wrong. Unfortunately a young woman lost her life and it seems like Inspector Clouseau should be involved from here on out. There are so many problems with this situation that it will never have a nice "tidy" ending. Kind of like the Holloway case, you really have a strong idea of what went down and who is guilty. It's just that burden of proof is non existant, or seemingly so anyway. I'm not going to get started on Cleveland, Texas. My grandparents lived there in their later years, as did a great uncle. I have friends in the area and I need more facts before I comment on the gang rape of an 11 year old hispanic child. That's for another day.
Lastly, two words, Sharia Law. If you live under a rock and have no idea what this is, run don't walk, to the public library and crack a Websters or my favorite, GOOGLE it. I know some of my backwoods brethen might agree with a few points relating to the treatment of women, but seriously, this belief system goes back to the days of living in a cave. Please if you do anything today, pay some attention to what Shariah Law would mean in the USA. If your a woman, it should infuriate you, if you believe in justice, it should make you take up arms, if you believe in peace, it should make you ready for battle. Please research Shariah law, it is not what America stands for, how can the elite lefties and the woman of powerful political action groups like "NOW" support this? Much less the gay, lesbian and transgender groups. If George W. Bush or even a republican in office where to table something of this ideology, it would make the mayhem in Wisconsin look like a kindergarten birthday party.
Alot of things going on people, pray for Libya and Japan. Oh, got my tomatoes and squash in the ground, so keeping my fingers crossed.

Leonard Pitts Jr., Dear Sir..... another racist A$$hole.
Sunday March 13th
You know how I love my coffee and Sunday mornings. The paper, the web and everything that is going on with our little planet earth. I have had an on going email offensive with Leonard Pitts jr., of the Miami Herald. This man is so misinformed it's scary. You can read his syndicated column for today in many newspapers. My response is below, as is an article on black crime statistics. I didn't make this up, it's out there, all you got to do is look. In "The truth about black crime" by R. Jeneen Jones. She gives us the facts statisticly, then she goes on to say that maybe it's our perception that is skewed, not that facts. I felt she hung herself so to speak, to build a case and then to suggest that you need to look for more than the "facts", WTF is wrong with these people?
Pitts,
Looks like you must be falling on hard times with the lightening rod subjects your writing about. I have even noticed that the Chronicle has published your column a bit more frequently. Had your readership been on the wane? Personally I hope you keep stirring that proverbial pot. What a grand way to display your own racism, bigotry and hate. It's very easy to read between the lines of a delusional hack, in this case a race baiting black hack. Keep venting because I am starting to see the humor.
Obama as our 1st black president has really been stellar eh? I really like this line you used. "You see it in the hysterical (in both senses of the word) reaction to the election of the first black president". First and most obvious, what was the black turn out for the 2010 election? According to CBS news on Nov. 2, 2010
"Black voter turnout also appears to be lower during the midterm election. An estimated 10 percent of blacks are voting, compared to 13 percent in 2008".
Sooooooo obviously some white people, in fact a lot of "hysterical" white people voted for him, or he would NOT have been elected. I do not support him because of his gross lack of qualifications. He has divided this nation, not brought it together, one of his many failed campaign promises. You can try to play the race card but what you need is information, and a way to assimilate that information to the black population and all others concerned with "whitey" oppressing you. Look at the statistics for black Americans, you want to point the blame, try looking in the mirror. Please see "The truth about black crime" at the end of this email. Remember this, "Hate don't heal".
I have no idea when or where you were "wronged", by some white people or white dude, but they sure fucked you up. Now all you can do is rile up the less informed minorities in the distribution and syndication areas of the Miami Herald. As I have told you time and again Pitts, look in the mirror, pray about it, you are doing more harm than good. Not only to yourself but to anyone who reads your drivel and is taken in by it. Why don't you do some "fact" gathering for your next piece. Give up the race card, even though it is lucrative and easy to use. The ones you are really selling out are those "statistics" that are the people of colors who actually believe what you write.

The Truth About Black Crime
by: R Jeneen Jones
Early last year, I wrote an article entitled "Who's Afraid of Black Men?",
which raised the issue of how society views black men as criminals,
regardless of their true nature. After posting the feature, I received tons
of email. While most African Americans praised my comments, many non-blacks
agreed that black men are generally violent and aggressive law breakers.
After all, one just has to look at the statistics. In all fairness, I decided
to do just that and discovered some very interesting details:
Among men, blacks (28.5%) are about six times more likely than whites (4.4%)
to be admitted to prison during their life. Among women, 3.6% of blacks and
0.5% of whites will enter prison at least once. (U.S. Department of Justice)
Based on current rates of incarceration, an estimated 7.9% of black males
compared to 0.7% of white males will enter State of Federal prison by the
time they are age 20 and 21.4% of black males versus 1.4% of white males will
be incarcerated by age 30. (U.S. Department of Justice)
Some have noted that more black men are in prison in America than are in
college. (The Black and White of Justice, Freedom Magazine, Volume 128)
Statistics on black crime are, on the surface, very bleak. There are,
however, some very important factors that help to influence the numbers.
Consider those and a strong case for a much different view unfolds. Since 62%
of persons admitted to Federal prison and 31.1% of those admitted to State
prison for the first time were sentenced because of drug offenses, let us
first take a look at the racial disparity in the war on drugs:
The National Institute of Drug Abuse estimated that while 12 percent of drug
users are black, they make up nearly 50 percent of all drug possession
arrests in the U.S. (The Black and White of Justice, Freedom Magazine, Volume 128)
According to the National Drug Strategy Network, although African Americans
make up less than one-third of the population in Georgia, the black arrest
rate for drugs is five times greater than the white arrest rate. In addition,
since 1990, African Americans have accounted for more than 75% of persons
incarcerated for drug offenses in Georgia and make up 97.7% of the people in
that state who are given life sentences for drug offenses.
In six California counties independently surveyed in 1995, 100% of those
individuals sent to trial on drug charges were minorities, while the
drug-using population in those same counties was more than 60% white. (The
Black and White of Justice, Freedom Magazine, Volume 128)
A CNN article in 1996 sited U.S. government figures that show more than 90
percent of all federal prosecutions for crack cocaine in 1995 were of African
American defendants. In addition, unlike convictions for powered cocaine and
other drugs (which wealthy, Caucasian defendants are more likely to use), a
conviction for selling crack cocaine can carry a lengthy prison term without
benefit of parole.
I know some people might think that African Americans are arrested so often
for drug offenses because police officers target drug dealers and most blacks
fit that profile. If that is indeed the case, why did an analysis by the
Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles find that 77% of the offenses
leading to the first conviction and 79% of the offenses leading to a second
drug conviction involved less than one gram of a controlled substance. In
addition, that same study found that 60% of the cases involved drug values of
less than $50. I'm sure Georgia isn't the only state in which such statistics
hold true.
What about figures for other types of crimes? According to the U.S.
Department on Justice, property and drug offenses account for 76.4 % and
56.4% respectively of crimes by individuals admitted to Federal and State
prison for the first time. Most criminal convictions are, therefore, not for
violent crimes. Even still, there is evidence to suggest that race also plays
a factor in those types of cases:
In 1997, the American Bar Association observed that quite often public
defenders, who are most likely to be assigned to poor and largely minority
defendants, are inexperienced, underpaid, overworked, and largely indifferent
to their client's plight. (Philadelphia Bar Association Calls for Moratorium
on Death, A-Infos News Service, 12/19/97)
Even though it is illegal, throughout the nation, there are incidents of
local officials influencing jury selection to include mostly white males.
This is done mainly because local police and law officials are afraid that
randomly selected jurors will be more liberal and less likely to convict
defendants. (Prosecutors Object to New Method of Jury Selection, St.
Petersburg Times, 12/28/98 and The Race of Decision Makers, RSTL Study)
A 1990 study by The U.S. General Accounting Office, indicated that racial
bias has influenced prosecutors' decisions to charge a defendant with a
capital offense and/or to proceed to trial rather than plea bargain. (U.S.
General Accounting Office Report, Death Penalty Sentencing, 1990)
What do all of these findings suggest? For starters, we cannot conclude how
many African Americans or black males are actually guilty of committing
crimes. We can only obtain data on the number of black males who are arrested
for and convicted of a crime. While arrest rates are highly subjective, one
could argue that a conviction is a guilty sentence in the eyes of the law.
Though that is true, given the racial undertones and biases still present in
the American judicial system, it seems highly unjust to assume that black
crime statistics are a valid indication of the state of the entire community
of African American males.
Am I implying that African American males do not commit crimes? Not at all.
In my opinion, there is an equal distribution of criminals (and law abiding
citizens) among all racial and ethnic groups and blacks are no more likely to
be criminals than are whites. The data shows, however, that African Americans
more likely than others to be arrested and convicted. It is for that reason
that I propose we use our intelligence and humanity to look beyond the
numbers. Even though it has been shown time and time again that racial
discrimination still exists in almost every segment of our society, (Driving
While Black, Police & Civil Rights Leaders Sit Down to Build Bridges,
Painting Insanity Black, Avis Charged with Discrimination, The New Face of
Racism, Race & The Death Penalty, Bell Atlantic Sued for Discrimination,
Judge OKs Boeing Bias Settlement, Black Customers Sue Denny's) why do some
people find it impossible to consider that it also exists in our judicial
process?
Will we ever be able to agree on the truth about black crime (or know the
real story on white crime) in this nation? I doubt it. I do hope we will
open the lines of communication and learn to discuss all of the facts. Only
then will we be able to make changes and overcome the tremendous effect that
race continues to have on the perception of black males in America.
**************************************************************************
Perception indeed, I'm just tired of being blamed for everything. So in keeping with my train of thought, if you think I am the racist, bigot here. Convince me otherwise, else KMA. Good day!

rate for drugs is five times greater than the white arrest rate. In addition,
since 1990, African Americans have accounted for more than 75% of persons
incarcerated for drug offenses in Georgia and make up 97.7% of the people in
that state who are given life sentences for drug offenses.
In six California counties independently surveyed in 1995, 100% of those
individuals sent to trial on drug charges were minorities, while the
drug-using population in those same counties was more than 60% white. (The
Black and White of Justice, Freedom Magazine, Volume 128)
A CNN article in 1996 sited U.S. government figures that show more than 90
percent of all federal prosecutions for crack cocaine in 1995 were of African
American defendants. In addition, unlike convictions for powered cocaine and
other drugs (which wealthy, Caucasian defendants are more likely to use), a
conviction for selling crack cocaine can carry a lengthy prison term without
benefit of parole.
I know some people might think that African Americans are arrested so often
for drug offenses because police officers target drug dealers and most blacks
fit that profile. If that is indeed the case, why did an analysis by the
Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles find that 77% of the offenses
leading to the first conviction and 79% of the offenses leading to a second
drug conviction involved less than one gram of a controlled substance. In
addition, that same study found that 60% of the cases involved drug values of
less than $50. I'm sure Georgia isn't the only state in which such statistics
hold true.
What about figures for other types of crimes? According to the U.S.
Department on Justice, property and drug offenses account for 76.4 % and
56.4% respectively of crimes by individuals admitted to Federal and State
prison for the first time. Most criminal convictions are, therefore, not for
violent crimes. Even still, there is evidence to suggest that race also plays
a factor in those types of cases:
In 1997, the American Bar Association observed that quite often public
defenders, who are most likely to be assigned to poor and largely minority
defendants, are inexperienced, underpaid, overworked, and largely indifferent
to their client's plight. (Philadelphia Bar Association Calls for Moratorium
on Death, A-Infos News Service, 12/19/97)
Even though it is illegal, throughout the nation, there are incidents of
local officials influencing jury selection to include mostly white males.
This is done mainly because local police and law officials are afraid that
randomly selected jurors will be more liberal and less likely to convict
defendants. (Prosecutors Object to New Method of Jury Selection, St.
Petersburg Times, 12/28/98 and The Race of Decision Makers, RSTL Study)
A 1990 study by The U.S. General Accounting Office, indicated that racial
bias has influenced prosecutors' decisions to charge a defendant with a
capital offense and/or to proceed to trial rather than plea bargain. (U.S.
General Accounting Office Report, Death Penalty Sentencing, 1990)
What do all of these findings suggest? For starters, we cannot conclude how
many African Americans or black males are actually guilty of committing
crimes. We can only obtain data on the number of black males who are arrested
for and convicted of a crime. While arrest rates are highly subjective, one
could argue that a conviction is a guilty sentence in the eyes of the law.
Though that is true, given the racial undertones and biases still present in
the American judicial system, it seems highly unjust to assume that black
crime statistics are a valid indication of the state of the entire community
of African American males.
Am I implying that African American males do not commit crimes? Not at all.
In my opinion, there is an equal distribution of criminals (and law abiding
citizens) among all racial and ethnic groups and blacks are no more likely to
be criminals than are whites. The data shows, however, that African Americans
more likely than others to be arrested and convicted. It is for that reason
that I propose we use our intelligence and humanity to look beyond the
numbers. Even though it has been shown time and time again that racial
discrimination still exists in almost every segment of our society, (Driving
While Black, Police & Civil Rights Leaders Sit Down to Build Bridges,
Painting Insanity Black, Avis Charged with Discrimination, The New Face of
Racism, Race & The Death Penalty, Bell Atlantic Sued for Discrimination,
Judge OKs Boeing Bias Settlement, Black Customers Sue Denny's) why do some
people find it impossible to consider that it also exists in our judicial
process?
Will we ever be able to agree on the truth about black crime (or know the
real story on white crime) in this nation? I doubt it. I do hope we will
open the lines of communication and learn to discuss all of the facts. Only
then will we be able to make changes and overcome the tremendous effect that
race continues to have on the perception of black males in America.

Perception indeed, I'm just tired of being blamed for everything. So in keeping with my train of thought, if you think I am the racist, bigot here. Convince me otherwise, else KMA. Good day!

Muzlim Ad Nauseum
Saw a poll today where less than 3% polled, felt that the Muslim hearings by Rep. Peter King of New York were unfair to the Muslim people. 93% of those polled felt that it was about damn time there were hearings on Islamic extremism in the USA. If there are mosques in the USA that are supporting jihad in any format, they need to be identified and shut down, the Imam's should be charged with treason and jailed or deported to their Islamic country of choice.
I am telling you from 1st hand experience, the Islamic people I have contacted from CAIR in Houston are not open to any discussion. In the glare of the TV cameras, they will smile and promise they are looking forward to some dialogue. Be glad to discuss islam the religion of peace, yeah WTF ever....... Liars! I have attached my emails to CAIR in Houston. They are kind of back to front so to speak. Most of it is my communication with this mystery guy, so I responded by not identifying myself other than email address, which we all know can be manipulated at will.
So I am quite sure I will be called an islamaphobe, so be it. To many of my friends who live insulated lives have no idea the scope of danger we are facing. The civil war was long, bloody and sadistic. Family against family brother against brother, a war between the Islamist and the "infidels" would most likely create a new entry in the definition of war, blood and death.
I have posted my emails below just in case there was any interst in reading them. The emails will seem illogical at first, because there is some repitition. Thanks for your patience.

Hello,
I aplogize for not calling it Islam, however, one who is Muslim is most certainly Islamic, wouldn't you agree? I still see NO response from any Islamic groups in the greater Houston area denouncing this al-Awlaki. Why is this? All over the USA their is an uproar, yet it seems people of Islam will not denounce the terror that is being done in the name of Allah. You ask for tolerence, tell us that Islam is a religion of peace. How can you and others involved with CAIR ask this of us, even to the point of wishing to build a mosque at ground "Zero", yet you will not proclaim the jihadist for what they are? Silence is serving no one.
Upon reading "Jesus and Mohammed" by Dr. Mark Gabriel, I feel that Islam promotes violence and zero tolerence for any other beliefs. It is an interesting book and I found it quite facinating. Afterall, I feel any unexamined belief is useless. There are many questions I would pose to an Imam ,taken straight from the questions Dr. Gabriel posed. I suppose we will see what this brings. Have a nice evening, and you should take a look at Dr. Gabriel's book.

Hello.
We appreciate your interest in starting a dialog with us. Our
organization denounces all acts of violence committed against innocent
human beings in the name any religion. Furthermore, Muslim is not a
religion. Muslim is what you call a person whose religion is Islam. Just
like a Christian is someone whose religion is Christianity. We humbly
ask that you not judge all Muslims based on the actions of one
individual or a small group of individuals and please judge each
individual based on the content of his or her own character.
Thank You.

Sir,
I'm not sure why you would characterize my response as hostile. I felt I was respectful but if there is a specific part of my response that you had an issue with you can certainly let me know. Also at no point was I asked about Hamas and Hezbollah but we denounce any organization that seeks to instill people with terror or injure or kill innocent people using any ideology be it Islam/Christianity/Judaism or any political ideology.

That and the refusal to denounce Hamas and Hezbollah. Will you make a statement on the hearings in New York?
I would characterize the tone of the message where you illustrated the difference between Islam and Muslim. You did not however reply to my question of how many Muslim people are non Islamic. In other words sir, you wished to want to aggrivate me perhaps, but that is not my primary concern. My concern is that Muslim/Islamist scream for tolerance yet at the same time refuse to bestow it on others. I have put all of my inquiries on my Blog and the responses of cairhouston.org, or the lack of response on as well.
Now to summarize, and I wish to be perfectly clear,
1. I asked for a statement from CAIR Houston in regard to an article about Anwar al-Awlaki. CAIR had no comment.
2. I asked for a statement regarding CAIR Houston and the proposed Ground Zero Mosque. CAIR had no comment.
3. I asked for a statement regarding the King hearings in New York, CAIR still has no comment.
It seems the only time anyone from CAIR use the terms "debate, dialogue, discussion", are when the TV cameras are on you. Then you are asking for such things, yet when we bring them to you, you have no intentions of any "open" discussions. If you think most American are accepting this as good will, you would be mistaken. There is a poll on FOX right now with over 52,000 votes and less than 3% of those polled, feel Muslim/Islamist are being unfairly singled out. Over 94% stated that it was time that Muslim/Islamist stepped to the table. The secrecy, denial or whatever you wish to call it, will not work here in the West. Fear and intimidation may work for you for awhile, bet eventually even that fails. In my humble opinion Sir, for non-islamist to ever have a respectful understanding, your group needs to start showing examples of what say versus what you do.
I will continue to bring to light that denial, and continue to proclaim the need for skepticism of CAIR and ANY muslim group that will not speak out against the terrorism that so much of the world is enduring. All of which is attributed to Islam and in the name of Muhammad. Jihad. Thank you for your comments that CAIR houston DOES denounce Hamas and Hezbollah, and I will post those to my blog.
Still have your copy of the book by Mark Gabriel, "Jesus and Muhammad" on my desk. I would be glad to deliver it to you. After all, as I have said many times.
A religion unexamined is a religion unworthy of having. I can understand your concerns, yet I faced mine, it only strengthened my beliefs.

Schiller & Schiller, the end of federal funds for NPR - James Okeefe Rocks!!!
As my Grandmother always said, "you wait long enough, you can see that what goes around, comes around". I cannot tell you how PLEASED I was to read this morning that Vivian Schiller "resigned" as president of NPR.
When Juan Williams was fired over his Muslim garb statement, I could not believe it. I never really cared for Juan Williams, however he was a liberal that I could respect. He did more than try to speak over you or shout you down, he made intelligent statements and had some good arguments. Vivian Schiller was very pompous in the way she handled his termination. Now don't feel sorry for her, she will land on her feet. NPR on the other hand is likely to lose the 90 million dollars it receives in federal funding. I know it sounds like a lot, but I believe that only makes up 2% of NPR's over all budget. Still, that's 90 million we could put to better use. I had to stop listening to the NPR affiliate here in Houston. KPFT has become communist radio and I am not interested in BBC or 98% of their other programming. They had several weekend shows I followed regularly.
My hats off to you Mr. O'Keefe! You took out ACORN and now it looks like NPR is going to feel some heat as well. It will be interesting to see how the libs/progs/dems write this off. For the record, Ron Schiller who was the subject of the video that O'Keefe recorded. He made some wild accusations about conservatives and the tea party, then went on record to state;
"The current Republican Party, particularly the Tea Party, is fanatically involved with people's personal lives," he said. Schiller described that movement as "white, middle America, gun-toting," and added: "They're seriously racist people."
Well I guess I am one of the great "unwashed" so to speak. Ron Schiller says that we're uneducated and ignorant. Coming from a jackass like him, I will take that as a compliment. Besides I enjoy watching the "Mighty" fall. Thanks again Mr. O'Keefe.

What's up Wisconsin? (Note to the libs, dems and progressives)
The NY Times is gonna publish their version of the facts. If you read one of their polls stating that the unions are going to win this prolonged battle, be ready for disapointment. I was reading on FOX.com this a.m. and I came across this reply in a comment about the state democrats possibly being arrested. The gentleman who made the comment was defending unions, and in a round about way, shed some light on his ignorance. And we wonder why the foam falls off the shuttle. He reminds me of sheep following the shepard. 8 years in the Navy and 30 years in the Aero space Industry. Sounds like a Jim Jones Devotee to me. Kool Aid anyone?

My wife is a high school teacher loves her job she can afford to retire she loves it so I HAVE TO FISH MORE I will make that sacrifice for her. If you are not in a union you don't have to be in one you can work until your 70 that is your choice. 3 months off during the summer you wish,my wife was always going to school to improve herself as do many of her teaching friends and they pick up the tab on there own.My health insurance is better than my wifes and she has a 4 year degree.If you are not in a union you are most likely working for a facist most of the Fox followers have a misconception of facism its combination of industry and government to supress the workers by holding wages down.In a union conditions are better,wages,insurance vacation,sickleave,for a better life join one.Almost forgot my union dues of $70.00 a month also covered my pension,strike fund and $2.00 a month for politcal funding. When I started working my union dues were $15.00 a month.So after 30 years the union dues that I paid into I got all back after 11 months of pension payouts.It was well worth my choice 30 years ago".
I'm not gonna knock the guy for grammer and spelling, I have issues of my own. His thought process is out of whack though.
He needs to understand a few things. The "Aero space" industry, if you wanna call it that, is really another version of the US Postal service, ie mismanaged, little oversite and completely over funded, or was. These companies stay in business by bid and lobby. Where does the money come from that is paying this guy? Try US tax dollars. If a government contract is what supports an industry, it is NOT an industry and in the great old USA, it's a club for the good ol boys. Once again please remember the democrat motto is spend, spend, spend. They have great belief in the trickle down theory, which means cash in their pockets.
Now read between the lines and you see the real deal. Who needs higher education when as a union member you have better health insurance than someone with a 4 year degree. Why work hard and try to improve your families future? Why better yourself, why not suck the teat with the rest of the public employees? Eventually it all ends SUCKER, because there is no more money or those paying the bill finally get off their ass and wake up going WTF! It looks like that time might be now. I think this will be a wake up call across America and it's about damn time!
>"Fox followers have a misconception of facism its combination of industry and government to supress the workers by holding wages down.In a union conditions are better,wages,insurance vacation,sickleave,for a better life join one".
So let's see, that means once you become a union member, you can break all of your previous agreements if you decide you don't like them. I admit that they were needed years ago because workers were getting ripped . Now that has gone full circle and the companies are getting ripped off. The smaller ones are out sourceing the work off shore. Who's to blame? Who bitches the loudest about losing these jobs? Ask a New Yorker about union labor. There is no middle ground. Also, it is another form of entightlement, who else needed bailouts for their poor decisions.... the friggin union. Who paid for all the bail outs? Correct again.... we did, us middle class people who don't know anything. Tell me who in their right mind wants a leadership that runs and hides from problems? This only tells me that the dems know it's a lost cause, and they are gonna get their ass kicked. Rather than face the music, or negotiate, you run. I can hear them now "yeah we did the best we could, we ran and hid in a 5 star Hotel, it was tough, we ate shrimp, lobster and steak. Watched it all on a big screen tv in the bar, oh and thanks for picking up the tab".
I for one will salute the last dying union, for what they stood for and the service they provided, that is until they became corrupt cess pools, offensive and useless as they are today. Death to all unions!

Matt Taibbi is a Hack / Most Liberals really do suck!
Yep, I was looking through the January "Rollingstone" and had to respond to an article by Matt Taibbi. Here is my letter to the editor.
"Hey RS,
Been reading this mag for a long time and I can deal with the, WAY THE fu.................ck out there left leanings, this is America after all and I still dig the music aspect of the mag. NEWS ALERT !!! Matt Taibbi is a HACK! I was cracking up at all the "props" he has been getting in the "correspondence" over some of his recent articles in RS. This has apparently gone to his head. He has an opinion and he's entitled to it, but so do I. Stick to sports Matt or do a better job of research or just admit that your venting. You remind me of Rick Casey at the "Houston Chronicle", you shout from your soap box and when you start to get your ass kicked, you start crying and want to change the rules. So man up and grow a set, what do you think that article was really about? You whining your ass off like a little girl, just not in public, in print. I knew you were a hack when read your support for Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, try googling either of these idiots, much less Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid. Be interesting to know how much Nancy spends on A. her office, B. her plane, C. her staff. But alas, you don't want to go there, because the truth hurts. You libs screwed this country up and us poor ass working class stiffs are doing what we think is going to fix it. Take that finger your using to point out all of the repubs failures and stick it up your ass! Now, that was my opinion.
Regards,
Ron

Well I feel better, and yes I am venting too, but hey, it's my opinion and I am entitled to "put it out there" as well. The next ten years will be damn interesting.

The end of Black History Month, for this year. Wisconsin, WTF?
Oh my gosh! What a day, opened the paper and to my relief, there was not another daily report on some black person in history, thank the lord there are only 28 days in February. Do you realize that if every race pushed for column space, there would be nothing else in the paper. Some people do not get it. I also stumbled across a new scholarship that is only available to Caucasian males with a 3.0 or higher GPA. That will be enough to cause a shit storm with LULAC, the NAACP, the rev jesse jackass and of course rev al "the dipstick" sharpton. Next few days will be interesting to see who/what else will climb out from under a rock.
Speaking of over correcting, duh, you get that hah? I think the crap happening in Wisconsin has only strengthened my opinion that unions have overstayed their welcome. True, they were useful and very much in need at one point in history, those days are now gone and have been for quite sometime. It is unfortunate that there was such a gross reversal in the application of the union and union rules. They were created for the benefit of the worker, but NOT to the detriment of the company. If there were NO company, there would be no workers. It's not like the chicken and the egg. The company was there 1st, it was an idea that was assimilated and financed and put into action and thus hired employees. So it was the company before the employee.
Why even bother with rules? I mean, they are not obeying the rules they have already agreed with. If Reagan was here, ouch! It would be like the air traffic controllers all over again. He would fire some ass! Teachers are public employees paid by tax dollars, and just like all the other government jobs, these employees want all the benefits without any strings attached. I have a friggin problem with that! I am so tired of reading about public schools and how terrible they are, and on the very next page how we are being unfair to these very same teachers. Why? Because we expect them to do what they were hired to do? Come on? The government sector earns more than the private sector in nearly every category and they have better benefits. Why am I so pissed? I am pissed because they also are the least efficient in function, have the least amount of job over site and have arguably NO chance of losing their jobs for any reason. We are the ones paying for this crap and I'm tired of it. I hate standing in line at the post office, where there are 15 counter stations and only two are open, and both of these individuals are bitching about needing a break. The IRS and the US Postal service would NEVER make it in the private sector.
We all know someone that works for the post office or works for the school district. I am not saying that they all suck, I'm saying that they have been conditioned to act they way they do, because of these strong arm unions. Hell, I would too, all the perks they get, are you kidding me? However in the real world, every damn thing costs something, I am so tired of watching my taxes go up and seeing how "big brother" is spending it. It's just like all the other social programs and the entitlement agenda obozo is pushing. Who's gonna pay for it? I'm not!
I hope to see the next few congress' make some major changes. Money is going to be the major platform discussions for years to come. As these guys whittle away at government spending your gonna hear some crying and screaming. Maybe your wallet hasn't been hit.....yet, because of these unions and public servants, yeah whatever, public servant? Talk about an oxymoron.
If you know an individual that happens to be a government employee, bend their ear. Ask them to defend the charges being made. If they don't break out into a fevered rant and curse you I will be surprised, they might even smile at you and not want to discuss it, and that is because they are unable to defend their position. And all the state democratic leaders chose to run and hide, yeah that is exactly what I want to see from my government leadership. That sounds like obozo's best idea yet, run and hide.

The "P,C" words for Vagina,and I don't mean politically correct either-
Greetings Y'all,
WaHoo!!! Ok, got that out of the way. I had a unique experience the other day and it has taken a few days to get my head around it. I was standing in the checkout line at a Kroger Super market here in the Houston area, it was on a Monday afternoon. For some reason when I go to the grocery store it's very late or extremely early. Usually the only people in the store are the employees and a few other night owls like myself, so I'm not really use to the "social hours" of a grocery store. I had ran into grab some things I had forgotten to pickup for this "slammin" dinner I was gonna prepare for the fam. I know, I know, I'm getting to it. Well, in front of me in the express checkout lane was an attractive 30 something mom and her young little boy. I don't really know how their argument started, I just sort of walked up on it, but I think it was over her refusal to buy him the candy he wanted. Why? Because that is about the time he called her a "pussy".
Wow! Did he really say that? 5 or 6 years old, maybe 7, and in a grocery store callin out mom like that! I would have been dead where I stood, never mind having to face dad later, mom wouldn't have needed any help in this case. It happened so fast... I was like "uh oh, did he", and the young female cashier was looking at me like "WTF", like it was my fault or something. Maybe I felt guilty because I am familiar with the word. Well, the next phase was Mom's reaction. Me and the cashier where the only other people to hear it go down but it was amazing how Mom dealt with it. She looked at me with one of those "don't you say a word, or you die" glances and then she put her finger to her mouth to shush him. She bent over him, drew him in close and whispered something in his ear. The kid looked down at the floor and put his hands in his pockets, looked kinda like he was gonna cry, I don't know what she said, but the skirmish was over. The Mom stood up, finished her transaction with the cashier and kinda pushed the boy along and headed out. I watched them leave and then turned to the cashier, who said,in all sincerity "I wonder what she does when he uses the "C" word?". I lost it, laughed my ass off.... I mean if this cashier is thinking this little boy knows the meaning of either of these two words in perspective, we really have a problem.
Or worse, maybe I was more of a "late bloomer" than I know.

FOX news / The Enquirer of the 21st Century
Que pasa amigo's y amigas'.
Hey, it's George Washington's birthday, everything is closed. Can you believe that? The FED takes a holiday for a president that passed away in 1799. George was great and did a lot for our country but it's 2011. We have honored him in just about everyway possible so I think it's ok to pass on this as a Fed holiday, just my take.
Now on to my bitch of the day, that would be FOX NEWS, the "fair and balanced" news organization. Just as I stated in the header, FOX has become the "Enquirer" of the 21st century. This network is tanking, and I don't mean by it's earnings, ratings, visitors, viewers, you know... all things MONEY. I am speaking of ethics or in this case, total lack of ethics. WTF?, you say. Yep, the "bastion" of conservatism has become a sell out. My grandmother use to buy the "National Enquirer" ever time we went to the grocery store. I remember waiting for the 1st chance I had at snagging it the minute she would put it down. It had all kinds of "alien" articles and it was full of movie star spats and marital infidelity. I guess that some of the photos were a little risque and that definitely was a big attraction. Now when I go to the FOX NEWS web site, the articles are just as loony and some of the hosts on there, WTF? it's starting to get out of hand. Rupert Murdoch needs to thank barry obozo and his administration for all the shit they have screwed up. This whip storm of conservatism and the Tea Party movement have really inflated the FOX earnings.
If I hear one more of those pundits talk about buying gold or backing up my disc storage, I may just shit my pants, seriously, it is ridiculous and they are laughing all the way to the bank. It seems to me that Rupert has found that conservatism is a commodity as well. Remember that old bought and sold definition? Anyway, yes I do visit the site daily. I try to read at least two newspapers and then hit the so called "conservative" web sites. The more I know of the different news outlet interpretations, the better I can decide what is really happening. Let's face it, in todays world, the media is only gonna push what they know they can sell and it certainly does not have to be truth.
So just what is my point today? It's like this, I have done a lot of things in my life, sort of a "jack of all trades, master of none" kind of guy. Have not always made the best decisions and in fact have made some really horrible one's. I have met people from all walks of life and with all sorts of backgrounds. I have made a lot of money and I have been dead broke. Everywhere and everything I have seen and done, I find them. I don't really want to be derogatory, but it's gonna seem that way. There are these people that you meet in life that may not affect you one way or another, a friends spouse or a co worker, the parent of a friend. Someone in the peripheral group of friends and aquaintences, and they are totally clueless. The dangerous kind. They may be highly educated, or just highly intelligent. The deal is they think that they know what is best for you and me, yet none of their arguments ever holds up, ever. They are in denial. They are what I like to call the "slug" people.
They are not really bad people it's just that their hearts and minds are in the wrong place and they will NEVER EVER change. Most columnist fit this discription, in fact about 99.75% fit this description. Leonard Pitts of the "Miami Herald" would be an example or Rick Casey of the "Houston Chronicle". I could go on and on but I think you get the point. Somewhere along the way these people got it into their heads, that they know what all of us need, and that they have all of the answers. Well they would be DEAD WRONG. So next time your purusing any of these sites and you see an article that makes you say "WTF?", remember that they are there to "sell", it is a commodity if it can be sold. I think P.T. Barnum was off when he said that there is a sucker born every minute. I think it's like 150 born every second. Lastly, for the right price anyone will sell YOU down the river, even FOX NEWS.
I personally want to thank the three of you that read this!

So next time your purusing any of these sites and you see an article that makes you say "WTF?", remember that they are there to "sell", it is a commodity if it can be sold. I think P.T. Barnum was off when he said that there is a sucker born every minute. I think it's like 150 born every second. Lastly, for the right price anyone will sell YOU down the river, even FOX NEWS.
I personally want to thank the three of you that read this!

Today's Media, the joke aint funny.
So where am I gonna go with this, right? Well, it is wide open. I read this morning that Lara Logan of CBS news was sexually assaulted during the crisis in Egypt. What??? No way, that could happen, not in a country full of peace loving muslim/islamist whatever.......... The truth is, CBS contributed to her assault. By the way, if it was ANYONE other than a media member, we would KNOW EVERY detail and have photos splashed everywhere. I think it was a bad call on the part of CBS, to send a woman into the fire of those protests. Come on, what is the islamic track record on womens rights, er none.
So, what is my point? I have lost faith in ANY media outlet, I am still going to gather my information from websites and newspapers, I will just have to strengthen my BULLSHIT FILTER and rely more on the blogging public to find out what the truth actually is. Now I know why some countries only have government controlled news outlets, they control the info, they control everything. Like I have said before, I am pretty naive, but I'm getting better. The good news is that the people can still bring a country to it's knees when they become united.
Here in the good old USA, we have a POS for president and the economy sucks, the housing market sucks, and the job market sucks. Prices are going up on food costs, fuel costs and damn near everything else,and meanwhile they continue to bicker in Washington. Did you happen to notice a trait that each of us Americans seem to have? We all sit on our ass and do nothing until it affects us individually, then it causes an effect. Once it hits home, we can move mountains. Look at the Tea Party, that was a grass roots movement that shook both political parties. Well, this just happened in Egypt, major changes in the middle East and I am not sure how it bodes for the USA. The fact is it could happen here at home and the likelyhood grows each day that obozo is in office.
If the media did it's job as I was taught to believe, more Americans would undertand the critical situation that faces our country today. That there is a possibility of a civil war in our own country, that radical islamist are already in our midst, that we have major financial issues, and that our current administration is NOT qualified to manage a roadside lemonade stand.
America faces many challenges in the years to come in all realms. The one fact that keeps me positive is that when people have finally had enough, they can demand change and they can get change. It only cost costs in lives and destruction. Think about that.

The NewBlackMan Blog.... Racism at your fingertips!
Good evening all, greetings to any 1st time visitors. I just had to vent a little bit after coming across another blog. "TheNewBlackMan", can anyone tell me why it is ONLY ok, for races, other than white, to claim racism? It pisses me off to read the BS that some people write. It is almost like we were auctioning off slaves last weekend on the town square. I don't own any slaves, my parents and grandparents and great grandparents did NOT own slaves. PLEASE, give me a break. I don't care if your green, if you want to be successful in America, work your ass off, then maybe if your lucky, you will achieve that dream.
I am tired of defending myself, I am white and I am proud! I don't think if my skin were another color it would make much difference either. Maybe it is the way I was raised, but that is a whole different argument. The longer I live, the more I think that our own government has caused or at least contributed to the decay of family life in all minorities. Entitlement programs have been spoilers. I think it is funny, we have a black man in the Whitehouse, and that is exactly what he is pushing forward on, yes sir, a socialist agenda. Keeping the oppressed down. Point your finger at that!
For myself, I'm gonna keep living paycheck to paycheck. Try not to be late on the house or car note, and keep the lights on. I'm not gonna piss and moan about all the things I don't qualify for because I make "too much" money, or the fact that I am white. Gonna keep hanging out with my friends and family, drink a cold beer and keep asking the Lord for forgiveness.
So, as I sit here on the outskirts of Houston, watching Egypt burn and wondering what in the Hell is going on? I can't help but wonder why people in America of all colors can't co-exist. If we don't, there will soon be fires burning in our own backyard.
