Weekly Notes:

February11, 2008

 

Ambulances:

They should be outfitted with pepper spray guns in a top turret. When, that crazy woman, Brittany Spears had some kind of emotional or physical problem last week. She got a ride to a hospital in an ambulance. The Paparazzi where all over the place like wallowing swine spewing out of hell. Of course, the so-called media were there too, doing the same thing. They actually interfered with the progress of the ambulance. Pepper spray would have cleared the way. I’m for it!

 

GI Bill:

After WWII and probably all wars following there was an instrument created by congress called the GI Bill. Among the good things this bill did was provide a way for returning vets to purchase homes at low interest rates. The government simply guaranteed the loans. It was a win for everyone. It cost the government nothing. There were few defaults, because the people really wanted the homes and worked hard to pay for them. For the banks, it was a deal made in heaven. They had no risk and got a return on their investment. For the GIs it meant an affordable home to raise a family.

 

Why do we need a war and GIs? Why can’t the government guarantee loans for all working citizens? We could quickly do away with predators in the mortgage industry with a program like that. They would have to prey somewhere else.

 

Microsoft:

They are planning a 4.6 billion dollar takeover of Yahoo. They say it is to compete with Google. I think the real goal is to take over the world. If they get Yahoo, it will be another step along the road to world dominance for Microsoft. It will be a tragedy for the public.

 

Big Bucks:

The media tells us that it cost the super bowl sponsors three and a half million bucks for a 30 second spot. Be that true, Ford has spent about a hundred million bucks to advertise their products. If they were to give me half of that, I could design and deliver a car that would sell itself, just like the Mustang did.

 

Half Time:

The fools say some people watch the game just for the ads. Huh? Be that true, those fools need to get a life quickly. They may be the same people who call themselves Trekies. Mrs. Gaffer took a bath at half time and I read part of a book. The game however, was exciting for a change. I also used it as an excuse to eat peanuts and drink beer.

 

Revenue Cops again:

Previously, I wrote an essay on Revenue Cops. It is in the Gaffer’s Variety Archive. In that I reported on dirty little mean spirited cop in Redford, Michigan. Now I find there are also some revenue cops in Flint, Michigan. I should have guessed. These pricks are ticketing old ladies and other citizens for having a burned out bulb on the license plate light. They claim it’s a safety issue. That is a deliberate lie. There is no way the missing light could cause a safety problem. The real reason is revenue. You will understand that when you know the amount of the fine for this minor oversight. It is $85.00. How about that for easy extortion money? Those rotten pigs! Sometimes I wish there really were a Hell for buggers like that. They belong there.

 

McCain:

It looks like he is the Republicrumb favorite. I fear him. He is a foaming-at-the-mouth hawk. I consider him to be more dangers than Bush. If he is elected, we will have four more years of shoot-from-the-hip foreign policy. I was hoping I could keep my pledge and cast my vote for Whoopie Goldberg. That was based on the promise that Giuliani would be the Republicrumb choice. Unfortunately, Giuliani made a major tactical blunder and left it open for McCain. Now I must vote against McCain regardless of who his opponent is. I can only hope it will be Obama. At least there is a chance that he could be reasonably honest. We just don’t know.

 

The United States Postal Service:

I have had a lot of criticism for this outfit and I don’t regret or take back one word of it. However, I do need to make clear that not all of the people who wear the USPS uniform are villains. In our local post office, there is one person who goes out of her way to behave as a decent human being. She is very helpful. I know who she is, but I will not reveal her identity. If I did, there is a good chance she would be fired for not letting procedure and rules interfere with her common sense.

 

Snow Day:

The kids love it because they hate school. No one in government is asking why the kids hate school. I know the answer to that. The kids hate school because the teachers are too dumb or too lazy to make it relevant to the kids’ lives and the system is geared to punish teacher excellence and reward indolence. Everything is our entire government is designed that way. Everywhere you look, you see indolence being rewarded and effort being punished.

 

We had a recent example in Flint. One day, the school administrator decided to keep the school open even though we had snow, about 75% of the kids showed up. The state of Michigan, in its infinite wisdom, decided that was not enough kids who wanted to learn. They punish that school by withholding state funding for that day. “The school should have declared a snow day,” they said. Is that sick or what?

 

Hurricane:

In the recent hurricane in America’s Southland, there were some tragedies and some miracles. We should take all of the miracles we can get. There was also one interesting miracle. A family went into the bathroom as the best safe place they had. Most of the house was gone, but the bathroom was not. The kids were in the tub along with the grandma and the father shielding them as best he could. The mother was sitting in the only place left, the can. I suppose she figured if it scared the crap out of her, she had the best seat in the house.

 

Robin Roberts:

She was modeling women’s fashions on TV with her beautiful baldhead right out there in public. What a great and courageous thing to see. If all of the women who are bald or partly bald came out of the closet, I suspect we would find there are just as many women with hair loss as there are men. I am bald and I deeply resent the fools who are tying to make me believe that is not okay. Being bald is okay and natural for men and women. If we all came out of the closet everyone would quickly get used to it and no bald person would feel compelled to wear a disguise again. I do have sideburns, but I know what they are. They are decorations, nothing more. Sideburns, a beard, tie, scarf, or even hair are just part of our disguise. They have nothing to do with the person underneath.

 

Robert Jarvik:

The drug company paid him one and one third million for violating his oath and betraying his profession. That is a nice pile of dirty money.
