What is your fortune?

I know a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex, and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself.

Well. You should still try to be good.

Never under estimate the truly clueless...
There I am sitting on the subway, heading back to Brooklyn after a very satisfying evening watching my Rangers beat Toronto. I am sitting there minding my own business when who should step onto the train but Bob Marley. OK it wasn't Bob Marley, hell it wasn't even Jacob Marley though a dead man would have been more talented. Two hundred dollar leather shoes, three hundred dollar (at least) 3/4 length P-Coat, Exquisitely manicured corn rows that fell gingerly down around his shoulders and a better than decent acoustic guitar with the appropriate hundred and fifty dollar gig bag. The man could not play a lick. Why is it that people who can't play or sing choose to defame Bob Marley. What did Bob ever do to them? "Redemption Song" becomes "Revulsion Song" and then he wants me to give him money for it. The guy's dressed better than me for Christ's sake. If the guy really feels the need to express himself (poorly) then why doesn't he sing a Madonna song or better yet, Mariah Carey. Bob certainly doesn't deserve this kind of treatment and I am sure he is spinning like a whirlpool dishwasher in his grave.

Speaking of Bob's, how many times do I have to hear "Knocking on Heaven's Door" butchered but by some rich white kid from Westchester who is spending the day slumming in his ghetto gear and pre-treated dread locks who couldn't carry a tune if it had a handle on it yet they think they are channeling Bob Dylan, who by the way isn't dead though based on his association with "Cold Mountain" and the subsequent video you might wish he was. (was that the longest run on sentence in history or what).

It reminds me of those High School parties where inevitably somebody would produce a guitar and every guy in the room would take a turn trying to get through bad renditions of "Horse with No Name", "Stairway to Heaven" and "Freebird". Everything is great, the girls hang around and sing the guys are feeling really cool until the guy who really knows how to play shows up and screws up everything. Then it's time for the hacks to go back into the kitchen and the backyard in order to find that one girl who is drunk enough to think that getting naked with them is a good idea but not so drunk that they throw up on the wanna be Neil Youngs/Gordon Lightfoots or accuse them of heinous things the next morning.

But Buskers in the subway are the worst. They always pick some song that they have no chance in hell of being able to preform well, yet, there they are. It's kind of like "Idol America" that way, with the edition of the pungent aroma of urine and subway grime. A joy for one and all to behold. Now isn't that kind of entertainment worth a quarter.

Arabs, US Ports and a President who just doesn't get it!

5 years without a VETO and our intellectually challenged president was going to VETO the bill that would squash his little back room deal. The man truly doesn't have a clue. And where was his butt boy Rove through all of this. I think Carl is asleep at the wheel. How did he not see the shit storm and PR nightmare this little deal was going to cause. The really scary thing is that this particular deal was exposed and for the most part it wasn't as bad as it could have been. What about all those back room deals that never saw the light of day until it was too late. The little amendments added on to bills in the middle of the night after the votes have all been counted. It's a goddamn disgrace. But no more than the lies that got us into IRAQ or the jobs that are being sent overseas by the thousands or the morally bankrupt administration that is distancing us further and further from the rest of the world.

The good news is that George W. Bush has secured for himself a place in history that can only be rivaled by Ulysses S. Grant and Huey Long. Keeping in mind I am loath to lump Sam Grant and Huey Long into such dubious company, even if their administrations were not quite on the up and up.

W promised to bring integrity back to the White House. All I can say is his definition of integrity varies greatly from mine, or Websters for that matter.

INTEGRITY
1 : firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values : INCORRUPTIBILITY.

Nope, not only does he not understand what the word means and I am pretty sure he can't even spell it, but I know for damn sure he didn't bring any of it into the White House.
Gee, how does everything this guy has done in the last 5 years compare with a guy who got a hummer from a rather ugly intern. Call it what you want, but I'd take Bill and his girls over George and his lies and corruption any day of the week.

East vs West ... They really don't get it.

I understand that the President of Iran is calling for a "Holocaust Cartoon Contest" in the hopes of proving that the West has a double standard when it comes to freedom of speech. Well this mental midget has highlighted once more the tenuous grasp he has on the reality of the "West". First of all, there are tons of Anti-Semites out there who would jump at the chance to doodle a little "Auschwitz Antics" or "Treblinka Frolics". That's a no brainer. What he doesn't understand is that (at least in America) we are going through a major test of freedom of speech right now (those of you who have been reading my blog know this) and for now, the right is winning.

For now ...

Certainly (at least as far as the jerk off in Iran is concerned) the West is going to show how tolerant they are and allow the contest to proceed (they will condemn it in a dignified manner) and then underscore how nobody was killed over it, no embassies were evacuated because of it and most of all how the Middle Eastern followers of Allah, just don't understand us.
This may be true.
But they don't have to understand us. In fact, they never will. You can not reason with extremist fundamentalists. There is no compromise with someone who is in a rush to meet Allah and who wants to take you with him. Bush and his cronies didn't understand that 3 years ago and they still don't undertstand that now. So when they removed the evil "Saddam" from power (a secular cruel dictator, but not a fundamentalist wacko) they succeeded in replacing him with fundamentalists all over the Middle East. Do you think it's an accident that Hamas won the election in Palestine? Would they have won if the US hadn't taken up a course of unilateral pissing off the rest of the globe? I don't know.
We will never know.
The real question is, who doesn't understand who?
I think they understand us as much as they need to. It's the West that needs to do it's homework.

Of course, if we had a president who picked up a newspaper once in while ....

SONS OF BITCHES AND THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT

Sat, 04 Feb 2006 01:39:37 GMT

3 Episodes and they caved. "The Book of Daniel" is no more.
NBC should change their name to the "Jellyfish Channel". What happened to freedom of speech? What happened to creative freedom? I'll tell you what happened. These are just words that mean nothing unless the bible thumping, witch burning, gay bashing, jew hating, liberal loathing white rednecks all over this country say it doesn't offend them. Well you know what?
YOU CAN ALL GO FUCK YOURSELVES.
Yes I liked "The Book of Daniel". I thought it was a well written, intelligent and thought provoking show. Clearly these are all things that the the religious right doesn't like or understand. These people are so frightened of ideas not there own that they must shout all other thoughts down. So we burn witches, beat up homosexauls, burn down synagogues and keep women from voting or working. It definitely explains how President Pin head got elected (well stole) a second election.

Fear of new ideas is an epidemic below the mason dixon line as well as the "fly over states". READ A BOOK YOU MORONS (besides the bible). Oh I forgot, you have burned anything worth reading.

These are the same mental midgets who believe that "Intelligent Design" is a scientific theory. Well they do have a handful of Scientists who back that up. Of course they are good christians also so they will go directly to hell if they dissent.

You fuckers have co-opted my country and I am getting tired of it. Your time is coming. Your president has screwed up this country and world for the last 5 years and the backlash that is coming is going to suck the black velvet Jesus paintings right off your walls like an Atlantic City Hooker at closing time. You're not Americans. You're biggots, racists, homophobes, neophobes and any other phobe I can think of. Fear is way of life for you. Fear of strangers, fear of change fear of things you don't understand (which is just about everyhthing that has happened after 1776.) This country wasn't made for you. You just think it is. It's easy for our dim-witted president to shut out the rest of the world, but the world is watching, The USA has become a laughing stock in the international community and I am tired of it.

And NBC, I am finished with you also. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. ASHAMED. Ask yourself why people with intelligence watch more pay TV than Network. I am sure you will just fill the void with another reality show. Perhaps the religious right would approve of Jesus TV. ALL JESUS, All the Time.

NBC = National Bitch (of the Religious Right) Company.

Mohammad and the Funny Papers

Thu, 02 Feb 2006 23:47:06 GMT

So now we are supposed to cow tow to the muslim world because they are offended by a comic strip? Are you fucking kidding me? It's enough. If they don't want to live in a modern wolrd, that is fine. If they want to keep their women in the beekeeper suits, barefoot, stupid and pregnant, that is fine also. But protesting a cartoon with threats of violence kind of waters down their other protestations. The rest of the world can say anything they want about allah, mohammad, jesus, ra, yaweh, john smith and the bogwan rajnish if they feel like it. If these morons weren't sitting on 3/4's of the worlds oil supply, they would have been bombed into oblivion a hundred years ago. If I could, I would repost that comic all over the web and keep running it for a year. And any newspaper editor that caves and fires anyone over this should be ashamed of themselves and has no right calling themselves serious news people. Have some balls, and stand up to these terrorists. It's enough already.

A NEW HOME

Wed, 01 Feb 2006 13:32:24 GMT

As I am fed up with Blogger and the nonsense and poor service, I thought I would try Live Journal. So, if you aren't sick of my ranting yet, this is where you will find me from now on.

I have moved over my more interesting archived posts from Blogger as I won't be going back there anymore. (I didn't fill in the holes in the walls from my poster pins and picture frames either).
