Walk-out

Here is an article I found about a walk-out in a FEMA park.

Did FEMA promise free everything to people living in Renaissance Village, the FEMA trailer park just outside of Baker? That's what some residents there are saying, but FEMA is denying their claims. So on Friday, some angry residents staged a "walk-out" to protest. "All we're doing is asking FEMA to do is stand up to their word," said resident Wilbert Ross. "Let us have everything free for 18 months."

Why do you need everything free? Why not get out and get a job, you bum. This is the kick in the ass you need to start providing for yourselves and family. Don’t you feel you have suckled the government teat long enough?

The residents' requests stem from a notice they received stating that free propane service would be cut off effective January 31st. In the trailers, propane can be used for heat and cooking, so they say it's a big deal to them. "FEMA is not giving us nothing we don't deserve," said Stephanie Enines. "We are disaster victims. The president declared us disaster victims. We lost everything. It's not that we want to be here, we have no other choice." Norman Wilson agrees. "People are suffering and all they're doing is pouring salt on a wound over and over. They're not making it any better by making promises they don't keep."

What a load of bullcrap. You don’t deserve anything other than a bill to repay back all the money used from the government to support your ass all this time. I will let you in on a little secret. The government didn’t send that hurricane to demolish your belongings. So why are they responsible to support you?

But did that promise ever get made? FEMA representative Michael Cosbar says the residents are mistaken. "They may have been given inaccurate information at the shelter," he said. According to the code of federal regulations, only attached utilities are covered. Electricity, water and sewage are all free at Renaissance Village. The propane tanks can be picked up and taken away, though, so they were never covered under the regulations. "There are no other sites, except for the others in this area, that have free propane," said Cosbar. "Everybody else in every other site in the state has had to pay for their own propane." So residents were given a 30-day notice that they were going to have to start paying for propane. FEMA says it's time to bring all the sites into compliance. Along with the 30-day notice, residents were also given a list of propane vendors, instructions on how to hook up the bottles, and an offer of assistance to help. About 70 residents were a part of the protest on Friday.

Why am I responsible to support you? I didn’t send the hurricane either. But it is my tax dollars paying for your electricity, water, and sewage-and that just isn’t good enough for you is it?

It sounds like a broken record, doesn’t it folks? They give these ungrateful bastards a home, food stamps, electricity, water, sewage, and everything else to support them and they bitch over a little propane. And to show FEMA they mean business, they stage a walkout. What idiots. If you don’t like the free home, I say just keep on walking your sorry asses down the road and don’t come back. I mean which genius came up with the walkout idea? That will really show them. Sooner or later you will eventually crawl your sorry butts back to those free trailers. But you see, it is how they were raised/trained to think. The government has supported them their whole life. The government probably supported their mother/father their whole life, possibly even another generation before that. All they know is that the government will support them. No matter what happens, they will always get that free check in the mail. They are a problem created by us. Think of it in the sense they are spoiled kids. If you give a child everything it wants all the time, when you try to take something away, it will throw a temper-tantrum. That is exactly what these freeloaders are doing. I am sorry, but it does not take eighteen months to get back on your feet when everything has been free for this long. They have had no rent, food, electricity, propane, water, and sewage to pay for until now. That has been about five months. If you have not been able to get your act together by now, you probably never will. Unfortunately, Joe Taxpayer is the one who looses in the end. Instead of buying bulletproof vest for our troops, these guys need propane. Later.

It is like shooting white fish in a black wash tub. It is too easy to poke fun at this asshole. Later. 

Joke of the day

On Friendship between women:A woman didn't come home one night. The next day she told her husband that she had slept over at a friend's house. The man called his wife's 10 best friends. None of them knew about it.

On Friendship between men:A man didn't come home one night. The next day he told his wife that he had slept over at a friend's house. The woman called her husband's 10 best friends. Eight of them confirmed that yes, he had slept over and two claimed that he was still there.

A way out of debt

Here is an interesting idea.

BANGKOK, Thailand - Health authorities are clamping down on a Thai teen fashion fad - wearing fake orthodontic braces. Officials said Thursday they plan to target those who sell and make the pseudo dental gear with steep fines and prison time. Girls flashing multicolored metallic grins are regularly featured in teen magazines as braces have become more common in Thailand, transforming the dental gear into a fashion statement. Rather than getting fitted for the real and expensive option, teens have been buying do-it-yourself kits in stores and selecting colored rubber bands to match their outfits or moods. Rasamee Vistaveth, secretary-general of the Consumer Protection Board, said the agency was planning to sign an order Thursday punishing sellers of fake braces with six months in prison or a $1,300 fine. Importers and producers could face up to one year behind bars and a $2,600 fine.


Just think about it. Just by modifying this a tad and going after the consumer, the US, Louisiana, whomever it may be could get out of debt easy. Have you been to the mall lately? They have a vendor set up in the center isle that sells gold “teef” and even “grilles”. Now for all the country-folks out there, grilles are what you put in your mouth, sort of like a retainer, to cover up your teeth in order to look like you have capped them all. Some even put “bling” in their grilles to “get their shine on”. I just don’t get it. When did it become cool or popular to act and dress like a fool? But if they fine each one of those gangsta-wannabes bitches a $100, we could clean up the city and have a surplus budget by next year. No more fake jewelry-including grilles, braces, earrings, all bling. The Thailand authorities have a good idea here. Later.

The Vanilla Gorilla

I recieved this letter in the form of an e-mail. He makes some good points.


"THE VANILLA GORILLA'
Mr. Mayor:
Let me start by saying that I am a 41-year-old vanilla male. I supported you prior to the hurricane that "GOD" sent at us (your words), and even supported you in your efforts after. But now, you have reached down and grabbed the "race card" and want to proclaim that New Orleans be a "Chocolate" New Orleans!!! If you were a white man/mayor and made the opposite remarks that the city needed to be a "White" New Orleans, you would have had every liberal media outlet, the NAACP, Jesse Jackson, etc...down here, to serve your head on a silver platter. You would be stripped of your political duties and reduced to a racist pig and kicked out of town. Luckily for you, you're "chocolate". GOD is mad at us for being in Iraq"??? "That's why GOD sent hurricane after hurricane to us"??? At what point in time did you become a spokesman for GOD? Prior to the hurricane, New Orleans had terrible crime, housing, cleanliness, and education problems. Is that GOD's fault? Why would you say such things? Are you trying to alienate us from Washington/Congress, and the rest of the nation, at a time when we are in need of much help to rebuild? I think you've finally lost your mind and should consider resigning! But let's first take a look at your "Chocolate City". Check the stats; the majority of crime comes from the "chocolate factory". The majority of welfare goes, to the "chocolate factory". The majority of dilapidated, filthy housing is owned or inhabited by the "chocolate factory". The poor public education system is run by and inhabited by the "chocolate factory". Just look at all of the "chocolate city" public housing eyesores. You want a "chocolate city", just look at the 2nd line party-shootout where 3 people were injured that was all chocolate, no white milk in that neighborhood. And you called the shooters "knuckleheads"? How about CRIMINALS! And wasn't that supposed to be a welcome back parade??? Who do you think fills the majority of restaurants, hotels, conventions, or even the Superdome on Sundays, chocolates? Nope! And 30-40 years ago, New Orleans was not a black majority city. But since then, we've had four "chocolate" mayors, and this city has been spiraling down the tubes ever since! This city is my city. I was born at Touro Hospital. Even though I now reside in Jefferson, when I visit other places and someone asks me where I'm from, I tell them "New Orleans"! But this city of mine has continued to elect "chocolate politicians" over intelligent, well-minded leaders. New Orleans, and the so-called leaders in the political arena, continues to keep giving itself and us, a black eye. Corruption and "reverse racism" has plagued this city for far too long. But now, The Sleeping Giant has been awoken, and he's not happy! Mr. Mayor, you could've taken this challenge, said the right things, done the right things, and been a real beacon of light for this desperate city. Hell, you could've done so well that you could've run for governor, or even President, and won, if you had done the right things. You and the city could've come out on top, and I would've applauded you for doing a terrific job during difficult times. But, lo and behold, you have stooped down, as mayors past, and given us (New Orleans), another black/chocolate eye!
What a shame, What a shame!

Proof that some people should not procreate

This just makes me sick.


Kanye West, with a crown of thorns atop his head, poses as Jesus Christ on the cover of the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone. The outspoken rapper defends his brash attitude inside the magazine's pages, on newsstands Friday. He is also pictured posing as Muhammad Ali. "In America, they want you to accomplish these great feats, to pull off these David Copperfield-type stunts," he says. "You want me to be great, but you don't ever want me to say I'm great?" West also says his hit song "Gold Digger" was the best song last year and that it should have been nominated for the Grammy's best rap song category: "That's a gimme Grammy." West has always been forthright in saying what he feels, most famously when he said "George Bush doesn't care about black people" during a telethon for Hurricane Katrina victims. "If I was more complacent and I let things slide, my life would be easier, but you all wouldn't be as entertained," he says. "My misery is your pleasure." The strangest tangent of the Rolling Stone story, however, is when West says he's addicted to pornography. He remembers first seeing his father's Playboy magazine when he was 5 years old.


I refuse to post the picture of this worthless rat bastard posing as Jesus. I would rather have Mayor Nagin sit across from me at the dinner table that this piece of shit. “My song was the best one last year.” He is a useless piece of crap that raps. The best part of this dumbass ran down his mama’s leg. He gets paid to stand on stage, grab his balls, dress like a gangsta-wannabe, and mumble syllables that usually don’t even make up words.

I was watching live when he made the George Bush statement. Before that night I saw him on TV, I had never heard of him. Opening his mouth on TV and proving his lack of intelligence was the best thing for his career. Because he sure isn’t talented. “My misery is your pleasure”-please. You must be joking. Don’t even tell me that sleeping until 3 P.M. every day, drinking and smoking crack all night, and screwing anything desperate enough to go to bed with your bitch ass is hard work. Get a job and get off my TV you worthless bucket of smegma. Later.

It's official

Well, it’s official. I am getting old. Getting, hell, I am old. Let me explain how I came to that conclusion. Tonight on the way home, I dropped into Blockbuster to pick up a movie. As I was checking out, I noticed three teenage hooligan punks outside, two dudes and a chick. They were entering the store as I was approaching the door myself. As the last one entered the store, he held the door open for me.

Now down here in the south, you are taught as a child to hold the door open for women and your elders. It is just a fact of life and you accepted it. Just like saying yes sir and no ma’am, it becomes a natural instinct. Well to be honest, I was shocked that this teenager with his hat sideways, his pants hanging half off his ass, and sporting long shaggy hair held the door open until I got through. As I was walking back to my truck thinking how I misjudged that fine young man just for the way he dressed, it struck me like a ton of bricks. I am not a woman. I MUST BE HIS ELDER. I just sat there in the truck for a minute debating on whether or not to go into the store and whip that little bastard’s ass for calling me old.

I am turning thirty-one this Saturday. Now thirty-one probably is not old to most of you. And to be honest, it was not old to me either until tonight. My wife keeps asking what I want for my birthday. I guess I will put in a request for some Ensure and a cane. Later.

Here is a picture of my son's first car. A 1995 Ford Mustang! I purchased it from an individual in Vidor, Texas last week. We are currently going through it with a fine tooth comb getting it ready for when he starts driving in April or May. He has a learners permit now, so we can go riding on the weekends and make short trips after work and school during the week. I think I was happier than he was when I brought it home. I also need to expand the driveway turn-around for a place to park this black beauty. The interior is immaculate. 3.8L V-6 five speed and she sure is fun to drive. Chris sure made out better than his mother and I did for his first car. Later. 

Cheryl got a Ford Pinto for her fiirst car. I believe a family member gave it to her. It came from a northern state and had rust problems if I recall correctly. She said she lost the fuel tank one day driving over some railroad tracks in Lake Chrales. Later. 

My first car was a Ford Fiesta. Here is a picture of the style I had. Mine was actually baby blue and looked like crap. But it was all mine. I paid $350 for that machine. Needless to say it never got me laid and I was the last resort for a ride. Later. 

Not looking good

Here is an article about our future crawfish season.

”A shortage caused by last year’s weather -- both hurricanes and drought -- has boosted wholesale prices of the prized culinary treats to around $3 a pound, about double last year’s price. And that’s for live crawfish. Wholesale, not retail. If you can find them at all.In Thibodaux, the Seafood Outlet on Canal Boulevard is selling boiled crawfish for $3.95 per pound and live mudbugs for $3.25. Nonetheless, one saleswoman said the crawfish are selling as well as in previous years.Fishermen are being paid $2.75 per pound for live crawfish, Whitney said, adding that he finds the prices just as distasteful as he knows consumers will. Whitney said he should begin to stock crawfish sometime in early February.When it comes to supply, some areas experienced drought-like conditions during periods of the past year, and that could affect this year’s crop. Dry weather can hinder survival of crawfish in their burrows, which affects reproduction. It also can affect emergence of the crawfish from their burrows.David Savoy, president of the Louisiana Crawfish Farmer’s Association, said he is not expecting a good year."It’s going to be a short season, and I’m not looking for large volume until maybe April," Savoy said.Producers started harvesting crawfish in December and early January, but many have stopped because it was not profitable to continue. Savoy said the crawfish they were catching were small.Although Hurricane Katrina missed most crawfish-producing areas, Hurricane Rita was a different story. That storm brought water -- and in some areas salty water -- to crawfish ponds, lowering the oxygen levels in these ponds."A lot of that acreage is not going to be in production this season. It was under water too long too early," Lutz said.Even more, many producers were late in flooding their fields because of the storm and the high price of diesel."Most of the crawfish farmers are rice farmers who are in a bind to begin with," Savoy said. "They are coming off one of their best production years for rice and can’t make a profit, and now they are faced with low crawfish supply."Katrina affected demand as well, since the hurricane displaced many of Louisiana’s crawfish consumers. Lutz said this could be a problem on one hand, but on the other, it offers an opportunity to market crawfish in new areas. "People are begging for it, but there isn’t much there," Savoy said. "It’s going to be a seller’s market with nothing to sell."


We never had many crawfish boils as a young’un. The majority of the time that we ate them was at fundraisers or restaurants. And that was for and few between. It is a delicacy for most folks. I remember when I went to work in Iowa State with a friend and we went to a restaurant and started talking with an elderly couple. It was funny because they assumed that because we were form Louisiana that we ate mudbugs and alligator on a regular basis, like normal folk eat chicken. Crawfish (a.k.a. mudbugs for you yankee folks) are a seasonal item that comes around twice a year. If you can get them for less than a dollar a pound, you are doing good. Alligator on the other hand can be found most of the year, but there is a short season and there are a lot of restrictions involved on harvesting them including license, limits, permits, etc… Any jackass with standing water and a desire to play in the mud can gather crawfish.


I do remember one time as a kid going to the crawfish pond and catching them ourselves. It cost less than buying them outright and it gave us something to do. It was kind of like going to a you-catch-it catfish pond. You don’t see many self-catching crawfish or catfish ponds around here anymore though. Later.

I know I am late for MLK day, but I still wanted to post this one. Jesse Jackson and Ray Nagin must be in a contest for the most useless person alive. Later. 

Here is just one of many good pictures I fouond at sacredcowburgers.com Later. 

Suicide at the casino

I believe this is the first suicide at a casino in the lake area. I didn’t hear about this one on the local news. It has not been very publicized. I found a small little tiny article in the paper today mentioning it. A man was found shot to death in the parking garage of the L’Auberge Casino early Saturday. He was a retired fire chief from Houston that apparently shot himself. You know, I have left the casinos with less money than I showed up with several times, but I never lost enough to commit suicide. I sure hate to hear someone got to that point. Later.

Still dry

I was raised in Beauregard parish. Over the weekend, the district five voters of Beauregard parish decided they did not want alcohol sales in their community. There are several ways to look at alcohol sales. One is the new revenue the parish would receive from the increase in taxes collected, another would be sales in general for the store owners would increase. A person living in Beauregard that drinks beer everyday, is still going to do so no matter where he has to buy it. Why not support the local economy? Yet others feel that bringing in alcohol to their area would do more harm than good.

I recall being a teenager living in Beauregard parish and having to drive to Leesville, DeQuincy, or Lake Charles to get our booze. The fact that beer was not sold down the road from our house had no damper on the consumption of miller lite. Keep in mind that we could legally buy alcohol at the age of 18 back then. We would normally pool our money together and head to Leesville to get a large assortment of spirits and then head on over to Bundicks Spillway to camp for the night and consume our alcohol. The only thing that would have changed if they sold it locally is that we would have had more money to piss away on booze from the gas we saved. I don’t think it would have encouraged us to drink more nor would it have put more drunks driving on the road. If anything, there would be less drunks driving in from out of town because most folks start drinking when the purchase alcohol and this would give them less time on the road to get sauced.
I was 20 when Louisiana changed the drinking age to 21 in September 1995. I had to get someone else to buy my booze until I turned 21 in January four months later. I think it sucks that you can live on your own, fight for your country, or work and pay taxes for two years after you turn 18 but you still can’t but a beer. At 18, you should be able to buy alcohol, buy smokes, go gamble, and do whatever the hell else you want to. Later.

Cockfighting and abortion

I found this tidbit of information at this website. I was born and raised in Louisiana and still live here. I do not believe cockfighting is part of my culture and I do not feel cockfighting should exist. It is unnecessary cruelty that should be stopped no matter what loop hole they have to use.

But what gets me is some of those folks fighting for the rights of those roosters are the same ones fighting for the right to murder and torture unborn babies. But they prefer to call it abortion. Maybe it helps them to sleep at night. Later.

It was one damn hurricane, get over it

I found a link to this page talking about global warming on this blog. And I agree that global warming is not racist, it is just the media stirring up crap. But it is the last paragraph that put my panties in a wad.


“Katrina showed us that we don’t know how to deal with (environmental disasters),” Miller says. “We really need to make sure that we have mechanisms, escapes routes, and policies in place that are going to protect those who are most vulnerable.”


Am I missing something? How many hurricanes did we have last year? Because you would swear there was only one. The media leads you to believe there was a hurricane last year and it was named Katrina. It was racist, republican, and hit only New Orleans. Hey asshole, how many people died because of that other little storm called Rita? Rita was the largest hurricane ever recorded and southwest Louisiana managed to survive without one single fatality caused by the storm. New Orleans was on the outskirts of the storm but the stupid city is built below sea level. We didn’t have people floating dead in the water because some Louisiana residents have enough intelligence to get the hell out of town when a hurricane is coming. And when it was all over, we didn’t sit around blaming everything on everybody else. We pick our heads up, pulled our shoulders back and went right back to work. New Orleans is got to be the most stupid town ran by the most stupid mayor in history. I am so damn tired of hearing about that piece of shit city. They should blow the rest of the levees and make a fishing hole out of it. Then maybe something good will come out of the city. But only after they tie up Nagin and Blanco in the basement. They can sit around talking with Martin Luther about how New Orleans needs to be a chocolate city. Stupid bastards. Screw Nagin, Blanco, and the media. Later.

Complaining about a free home

You locals have probably seen on the news about the story of William Pierce who recently received a FEMA trailer and was on TV bitching about it. Here is some of the news article.

William Pierce, whose 6'2" and weighs 300 pounds, lives in a travel trailer from FEMA. He says it's just not made for a man of his size. His feet hang off the bed. The mattress is uncomfortable. "This is the box spring right here and this is what they got up underneath there. So this is making it a little bit more comfortable. I still find it hard to sleep at night," explains Pierce. "This is my position every night. I'm just sitting up looking out the window. So, I watch the ice come down and freeze up on the cars last night." The sofa in the living area collapsed under his weight. “When he stands in the shower the top of his head nearly touches the ceiling. And sitting down in the bathtub is impossible. William sees the humor, but then reality sets in. "I'm trying to let you see a little bit of humor in it before I break out in tears, because I can't take it. I can't." There's scarcely any food in the house. But if he had more, he's not sure where he'd put it. Plus William has three teenage sons staying with him. The heat and stove run on propane with tanks that each cost $24 to fill and last three days. Money he says he doesn't have. He says they are cold and hungry. "That's all I'm asking. I need to feed my sons," said Pierce. "I can go without eating but when I look at them it brings tears to my eyes. They ask me, 'Daddy. What are we going to eat tonight?' Daddy can't come up with an answer for them." William says he'd like to work but that his car is not running. William Pierce foresees a long road ahead to recover the life he loved in New Orleans. And he's finding it increasing hard to be hopeful. Pierce says his calls to FEMA seem to have fallen on deaf ears.

Now I saw the video clip last night and instantly knew this was something I wanted to express my feelings about. Let’s see. You were given a new home, food stamps, unemployment, and every other possible handout to get you back on your feet and you still have not done so in five months? What is the deal? What more could the government do other than wipe your ass for you with the free toilet paper they supplied you with? And yet you still sit around crying about how you don’t have money for propane and food for the family and complaining that the free home and furniture are not to you liking. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want any one to be in the situation you are in. The situation that the government and all tax payers are not responsible for. Yet we still get stuck with the bill of supporting your ass while you sit around. Don’t tell me there is no work. Pick up the news paper. And don’t tell me there is no way for you to get to work. Walk, ride a bike, get another car… whatever it takes. You need to step up and be responsible for yourself and your family. There are a lot of vehicles out there under a thousand dollars. And I know you have received more than that in financial aid since the hurricane hit. You don’t like the free home and furniture, sleep on the ground you ungrateful bastard.

God helps those who help themselves. Too bad the government does not have the same policy. Later.

Impeach Blanco

I recently sent in for my “Blanco impeachment package”. But there are those that feel that it would “only give Louisiana a black eye at a time when the state looks bad enough. Everyone knows she screwed-up. We don’t need to impeach her.” I say horse-hockey. I feel that we need to send a message loud and clear that we expect our political officials to do their job and do it correctly. And if you fail so miserably as Blanco did, then it is time to step aside and let someone else take over that can do the job right. Unfortunately, Mitch Landrieu is next in line. Don’t know if he can do any better, but it will still send a message that failure is unacceptable.

For all those “black-eye folks”, let us look at from this point of view. Let’s say we were talking about a person convicted of rape. Would you not prosecute him also? “We all know he did the crime. What good would sentencing him to prison do?”

Is that not the same philosophy? Just roll over and play dead like nothing happened? That is the same thing you want to do with Blanco. She did wrong and you just want to forget about it. Like nothing happened. I just don’t see how any one with morals and principals can sit there and say it is wrong to hold Blanco accountable for her negligence which cost the lives of hundreds. Starting before the hurricane ever formed by not protecting the city to how she handled the aftermath, our governor that I did not vote for failed miserably and should loose her job over it. And by doing that, it will send a message to the next one in office that we expect them to do the job they were voted in to do and there will be consequences if you fail. Later.

This is a good one. The dumb mayor just said this last night and they already have t-shirts and bumper stickers. Go see them at www.imnotchocolate.com Later. 

The Official Boycott List

Anyone who knows me knows that I have what I like to call a “boycott list”. What this means is simply that when a business pisses me off, I will not visit their franchise again until one of two things happen. One, I run out of stores that supply what the boycotted store does and two, the time has lapsed to the point that I feel they have learned their lesson. But when a company pisses me off real bad, not only will they get on the boycott list, but comments will be sent via e-mail, phone, USPS, what ever it takes. And that very thing happened just last week with Lowe’s of Lake Charles.

Let me explain. I went to Lowe’s in Sulphur to purchase a grinder that was on sale. They were out. They said the Lake Charles store had several. I went to Lake Charles Lowe’s and was told that they do not price match. Lowe’s has price matched in the past, but not meeting a price within the same franchise is stupid. I could see if it was a discontinued item, but this was not. Anyway, I sent in a comment to Lowe’s on the internet, and a few days later I got a call from the store manager of Lowe’s in Lake Charles. We had a good chat. I still won’t go back until Lowe’s in Sulphur pisses me off and Stine and Home Depot does not have what I need.

Here is the official list

1. Lowe’s of Lake Charles, Louisiana- see above
2. Bennigans Restaurant, Louisiana-crappy service
3. Texas Road House Restaurant, Louisiana-crappy service and screwed up order
4. Cancun Mexican Restaurant-crappy service with piss-poor attitude
5. Gas Station in Longville-stupid moron can’t turn on a gas pump
6. Subway in Iowa-crappy service
7. Johnny Carrinos-crappy service
8. Winkiedoos Ice Cream-dumbass people behind the counter. I haven't been there since before I got married. And that was back in 1999. Thanks for reminding me Chrissy.


And there you have it. My boycott list. Several businesses have come and gone on the list. A year is about the longest one has stayed boycotted. I have boycotted some of my more favorite restaurants. But if you are going to do something, it needs to be done every time without prejudice or being bias. Later.

My favorite of all. Doesn't it just make you want to start humming the three stooges music. Later. 

New Orleans Police Department really shined their true colors during the time of crisis. This t-shirt sums up their attitude pretty good. Later.

Nagin is stuck on stupid

Here is a link to the entire article.


"We ask black people ... It's time for us to come together. It's time for us to rebuild New Orleans — the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans," Nagin said Monday. "This city will be a majority African American city. It's the way God wants it to be. You can't have New Orleans no other way. It wouldn't be New Orleans."


Unbelievable how stupid one person can be. I guess in order to the crime rate back to where it was you need "mo chocolate folks" to get that back home feeling again, right Nagin? New Orleans is in better shape now than it has been in the last century due to most of the trash is gone and hasn't made it back yet. But Nagin is to much of a moron to see that.

If you talk to anyone that has been to New Orleans and has seen the clean up efforts, they will all tell you the same thing. "The only people cleaning up and moving foward are white. The blacks are sitting on the front porch waiting for someone to come and do it for them. If there is a pile of debris in front of the house, 99% chance that a white person lives there." I have talked to several people from contractors to military and the story is the same. The "chocolate" people as Nagin calls them are just waiting for someone to do the work for them and their next government check. Don't get me wrong, there are probably some black folks that are doing their part. But the majority are not pulling their weight and are giving the good ones a bad name. Later.

Here is a picture of the old A-frame from Christopher's 4-wheeler. The bottom two A-frames were in terrible condition. The other one fell to pieces while I was taking it off. Honda wanted $250 each. I bought the material for less than $50 and made both of them myself. Later.  

Here is a picture of the new one. Made of solid 5/8" iron rod with a 1/4" steel plate for added strength. Making them sure beats the hell out of paying $250 each. And it was fun also. Being able to make something with my own two hands that most folks would have to buy really gets my rocks-off. Later. 

Guns and gals

I found this one over here. Hope he does not mind me posting it also.

I didn't write it, but I'm gonna post it.
Top Ten Reasons Why Men Prefer Guns Over Women

#10. You can trade an old 44 for a new 22.

#9. You can keep one gun at home and have another for when you’re on the road.

#8. If you admire a friend’s gun and tell him so, he will probably let you try it out a few times.

#7. Your primary gun doesn’t mind if you keep another gun for a backup.

#6. Your gun will stay with you even if you run out of ammo.

#5. A gun doesn’t take up a lot of closet space.

#4. Guns function normally every day of the month.

#3. A gun doesn’t ask , “Do these new grips make me look fat?”

#2. A gun doesn’t mind if you go to sleep after you use it.

And the number one reason a gun is favored over a woman....

#1. YOU CAN BUY A SILENCER FOR A GUN

Howard Stern...what a joke

Found this one and just had to comment. Howard Stern is as big a part as any one in the desensitizing of the world. "As years go by, people will come because plain, old, boring radio is not serving the audience." It was doing a great job until idiots like you had to screw it up. You don’t hear Paul Harvey using the “F” word, yet he is still delivers the news. But one thing I can guarantee you Howard, not one thin dime of my money will go towards your paycheck. I will never get XM radio. All these promises about no commercials and crap will fall to the wayside as soon as they aren’t making the numbers they were expecting to. Then you will have radio just like you have now, just with vulgarity. I’ll stay with what I’ve got. Later.

President Hillary?

In the future you will see more attacks like this one in order to win the other side’s vote. Why else would a democrap fight for the war or anyone involved in it? I agree that if you are going into battle, you need to be prepared as well as possible. I do not argue Hillary’s point about our soldiers needing more protection, but I think it is so disgraceful to use it as a soapbox to help lay the foundation for a presidential election unfortunately involving this carpet-munching whore. Next thing you know, the hollywierd type will a TV show about a woman president. Oh, wait… they already have one of those don’t they? Later.

Mouse gets last laugh

Here is a story of a mouse getting his revenge.



FORT SUMNER, N.M. Jan 8, 2006 — A mouse got its revenge against a homeowner who tried to dispose of it in a pile of burning leaves. The blazing creature ran back to the man's house and set it on fire.
Luciano Mares, 81, of Fort Sumner said he caught the mouse inside his house and wanted to get rid of it.
"I had some leaves burning outside, so I threw it in the fire, and the mouse was on fire and ran back at the house," Mares said from a motel room Saturday.
Village Fire Chief Juan Chavez said the burning mouse ran to just beneath a window, and the flames spread up from there and throughout the house.
No was hurt inside, but the home and everything in it was destroyed.
Unseasonably dry and windy conditions have charred more than 53,000 acres and destroyed 10 homes in southeastern New Mexico in recent weeks.
"I've seen numerous house fires," village Fire Department Capt. Jim Lyssy said, "but nothing as unique as this one."


That just sucks, serves him right, but it still sucks. I wouldn't kill any animal by means of fire or drowning. Later.

Another point of view about Nawlins

I recieved this one from a friend. It is a bit written by George Carlin.



"Been sitting here with my ass in a wad, wanting to speak out about the bullshit going on in New Orleans. For the people of New Orleans... First we would like to say, Sorry for your loss. With that said, let’s go through a few hurricane rules: (Unlike an earthquake, we know it's coming) #1 A mandatory evacuation means just that...Get the hell out. Don't blame the Government after they tell you to go. If they hadn't said anything, I can see the argument. They said get out... if you didn’t; it's your fault, not theirs. (We don't want to hear it, even if you don't have a car, you can get out.) #2. If there is an emergency, stock up on water and non-perishables. If you didn't do this, it's not the Government's fault you're starving. #2a. If you run out of food and water, find a store that has some. (Remember, shoes, TV's, DVD's and CD's are not edible. Leave them alone.) #2b. If the local store has been looted of food or water, leave your neighbor's TV and stereo alone. (See #2a) They worked hard to get their stuff. Just because they were smart enough to leave during a mandatory evacuation, doesn't give you the right to take their stuff...it's theirs, not yours. #3. If someone comes in to help you, don't shoot at them and then complain no one is helping you. I'm not getting shot to help save some dumbass who didn't leave when told to do so. #4. If you are in your house that is completely under water, your belongings are probably too far gone for anyone to want them. If someone does want them, let them have them and hopefully they'll die in the filth. Just leave! (It's New Orleans, find a voodoo warrior and put a curse on them.) #5. My tax money should not pay to rebuild a 2 million dollar house, a sports stadium or a floating casino. Also, my tax money shouldn't go to rebuild a city that is under sea level. You wouldn't build your house on quicksand would you? You want to live below sea-level, do your country some good and join the Navy. #6. Regardless of what the Poverty Pimps Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton want you to believe, The US Government didn't create the Hurricane as a way to eradicate the black people of New Orleans; (Neither did Russia as a way to destroy America). The US Government didn't cause global warming that caused the hurricane (We've been coming out of an ice age for over a million years). #7. The government isn't responsible for giving you anything. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave, but you got to work for what you want. McDonalds and Wal-Mart are always hiring, get a damn job and stop spooning off the people who are actually working for a living. President Kennedy said it best..."Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

Joke of the day

Here is a couple of jokes.

A man and his wife were sitting in the living room and he said to her,"Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle.? If that ever happens, just pull the plug."His wife got up, unplugged the TV and threw out all of his beer.


A young couple got married and left on their honeymoon. When they got back, the bride immediately called her mother. "Well, how was the honeymoon?" asked the mother. "Oh mamma!" she exclaimed. "The honeymoon was wonderful! So romantic!" No sooner had she spoken the words than she burst out crying. "But mamma, as soon as we returned, Sam started using the most horrible language. He's been saying things I've never heard before! All these awful 4-letter words! You've got to come get me and take me home please mamma!" "Now Sarah, " her mother answered. "Calm down! Tell me, what could be so awful? What 4-letter words has he been using?" "Please don't make me tell you, mamma." wept the daughter. "I'm so embarrassed! They're just too awful! You've got to come get me and take me home, please mamma!" "Darling, baby, you must tell me what has you so upset. Tell your mother these horrible 4-letter words!" Still sobbing, the bride replied, "Oh, mamma . . . words like dust, wash, iron, and cook!"

Everything has a gender

I found this one on this guy's blog.


EVERYTHING HAS A GENDER

You may not know this but many nonliving things have a gender.

1) Ziploc Bags are Male, because they hold everythingin, but you can see right through them.

2) Copiers are Female, because once turned off, ittakes a while to warm them up again. It's an effectivereproductive device if the right buttons are pushed,but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.

3) A Tire is Male, because it goes bald and it's oftenover-inflated.

4) A Hot Air Balloon is Male, because, to get it to goanywhere, you have to light a fire under it, and ofcourse, there's that hot air part.

5) Sponges are Female, because they're soft,squeezable and retain water.

6) A Web Page is Female, because it's always getting hit on.

7) A Subway is Male, because it uses the same oldlines to pick people up.

8) An Hourglass is Female, because over time, theweight shifts to the bottom.

9) A Hammer is Male, because it hasn't changed muchover the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to havearound.

10) A Remote Control is Female. Ha! You thought it'dbe male, didn't you? But consider this - itgives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it,and while he doesn't always know the right buttonsto push, he keeps trying!
