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?

"I am pro union 60 years old retired for over 3 years 30 years in a union 8 years in the Navy.My aerospace career of 30 years has aloud me to retire very early 401 k plan I put $1.00 in company puts in $.50, pension $2500.00 a month,401 k plan $7000.00 a month,S/S I will get another $2500.00 a month when I hit 62.My insurance for my wife and I is $40.00 per month until 65 then medicare.
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!

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.
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.

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.
