Serious:

People sling that word around with reckless abandon. For example, we say get serious when someone says something we did not want to hear. Sometimes we will begin a statement with, this is really serious. Well, let’s get serious. Let’s put it in perspective. Most things in our lives are not serious at all. Some things are. Being hungry is serious. Human injury is serious. Illness is sometimes serious. The most serious of all is death. Once you have witnessed the death of another human being, nothing else seems really serious after that. Put it in perspective.

To continue, floods and fires are serious. Hurricanes are serious. Erectile dysfunction, shrivel dick, is not serious. It’s a joke. It is only important to juvenile men. Heart attacks are serious. Hair loss and dandruff are not serious. Wrinkles are not serious. What I notice is we have more advertisements for products to deal with non-serious stuff than we have to deal with serious stuff. There is a reason for that. No one will go to prison for pretending to cure hair loss or wrinkles, but pretending to cure heart problems could get a conman some major prison time.

The Dead Zone:

The cell phone companies would like to make us believe they have everything covered. That is far from true, but you do not learn that until after you have signed a contract. Verizon has a large number of dead zones and one of them is at my home. I have a Verizon cell phone that will work in many places, but it will not work in the one place I need it most. I thought I might solve the problem by switching to AT&T. I’m glad I did not sign a contract with them. I bought one of those AT&T pay-n-go phones for eleven bucks. It did not work either, but I was only out eleven bucks for trying.

So far as I know, there are only two sets of cell phone towers in America. Those are AT&T and Verizon and neither will work at my home. I live in a dead zone. Lots of rural people live in dead zones, but those big shots will not talk about that. They only babble about how great their service is. It ain’t great at all! So it goes. I will not trade the wonders of rural living just to get a cell phone connection. Maybe someday the government will create a TVA type government bureau to bring high-speed service to rural America. That would be nice, but I’m not holding my breath.

Tax:

There is a debate about putting a deposit tax on water bottles. Of course, retailers don’t want it. Environmentalists do for good reason. You only have to look in a public park to see the reason. I don’t know why there should be a debate. If we put a deposit tax on some liquid containers, we should put it on all containers. That would make it fair and it would take a huge advantage away form the companies who make that crap. They would have to start paying what it really costs to deliver that crap to the fools who buy it. Bottled water is a fraud.

Operation Iraq:

The 1460th reserve of Michigan went to Texas. Those poor buggers. They should get extra pay. That has to be classified as hazardous duty.

President:

If you have a brain in your head, you have no chance of being president. I don’t know why anyone in their right mind would want that job, but if you want to become president, you must eat prunes and all bran until you crap your brains out. I’m sure that is what George Bush did. Surely, he could not have been born the way he is now.

Obama:

Speaking of candidates, it seems Obama is being pressured to help defray the insane campaign investments of Clinton. I do not see why he should do that and it is not necessary anyway. If the Clintons want to defray that expense, Bill could write another book. He could title it “How My Wife Became a Looser.” The advance from the nutty book publishers would cover the loss easily. Anything with his name on it will sell big time for no reason at all.

Minimum Wage:

Michigan raised the minimum wage from $7.15 to $7.40. Many of the people who employ slave labor are complaining loudly about that. They are making dire predictions about going out of business. That is the same thing they did with the last raise. They complained like mad, then they passed the increase on to their customers and went on. That is what they will do again. I wonder if any of those bozos ever tried to live on $59.00 a day. Think it through. That will barely pay the kids rent.

Media Bologna:

How many times have you heard this phrase from one of those news people? “Most Americans favor this or that or etcetera.” Perhaps you wondered as I have how they know that. I thought about it and I have concluded they don’t know it at all. I think that BS phrase falls into the same category as, “It is commonly known.” That is the one political hacks use when the want you to believe something they cannot support with evidence. Wake up and listened and quit trusting those news conmen!

Supreme Court:

The decision is, that our constitution does not give the right to actively prohibit the ownership and use of hand guns. It makes sense. People can own handguns to protect themselves in their homes. The District of Columbia has proven conclusively that hand gun control does not work. They have had the most repressive gun law in America for years and violent crimes there have actually increased. Be honest. The people who use guns in crimes will still get them. It is nothing short of insane to prevent me from having a gun to protect myself from criminals who might enter my home. Of course, even in the face of solid evidence political hacks are deploring the decision. I salute the decision. It is about time our second amendment was confirmed. In case you forgot, here it is.

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

He Finally Won:

It took too long, but Steven Hatfill finally got justice. He is the guy Ashcroft and his thugs attacked after the anthrax scare. They implicate him, investigated him, confiscated his belongings and made his life a living hell for several years. They never charged him with a crime because they had no case against him. It was classic FBI bullyboy thuggery the same as they did to that little fat guy after the Atlanta bombing. It is their standard tactic. They don’t know how to investigate a crime, so they pick a likely victim and go after him. In this most recent case, Hatfill got a settlement of 5.8 million bucks from the feds for screwing him over, but they never admitted guilt. Sure, right! The entire FBI should be disbanded and all the leadership should be fired. We would all be safer.
