Have the American people completely lost it?!
What is going on here? Is anybody paying attention? Seriously?
The EPA states that it will basically do an "end run" around Congress related to Climate Change legislation. Declaring CO2 as a dangerous gas. Unbelievable.
How many governmental agencies have to ignore the elected officials before people realize we are no longer living in a Democracy (which technically should be a Republic)? This is fascist through and through.
The majority of those in Washington D.C. are clearly not listening to the American people. Passing unread bills at lightning speed. Digging us (and our children and grandchildren) deeper and deeper into debt.
What power does Congress really have if some government agency is going to step in and impose rules anyhow? Regardless of how the American people feel about it.
What's more important right now? The economy in the U.S.? Unemployment? Or the freaking Polar Bears?!
The issue formerly known as "Global Warming" now "Climate Change" has been debunked! It's a scam on a criminal level! Al Gore et al should be thrown in prison! Instead of people admitting they have been duped, they are becoming even more wacky with their claims! Insanity! You can't just act like a 3 year old, plug your ears and go "Na na na na na" and pretend it isn't happening! You got scammed! You got suckered! Man up and deal with it!
Using "Climate Change" as yet another way to GLOBALLY extort money from citizens is completely asinine. Give it up.
What's happening to my Country is unthinkable and outrageous! Where is the outrage from the majority of Americans?! Wake up and smell the tyranny! It's not even a partisan issue. Bush started us on this financial tailspin and Obama put it on steroids. Then we have to add in "Cap & Trade" and healthcare "reform."
When the government owns 53% of the nation's economy, this is a BAD thing!
I mean, at this rate, why bother holding elections anymore? It's obviously just for show. Sending career politicians back to D.C. has gotten us here! What happened to a government "of the people, by the people and FOR the people?" This isn't it folks.
CO2 a "dangerous gas." In excessive amounts, yes! So is oxygen! Unreal.
Pink slips to Washington D.C.!

I'd Like to Say Happy New Year, but...
Only a handful of weeks into the Obama-nation and we're rushing headlong into a complete Socialist government in the U.S.. This pisses me off greatly. I love my country but hate where it's headed. Shameful.
For decades we have been pacified into believing the slow erosion of our personal freedoms is in our best interest for our health and safety. What a joke. Now, we're screwed and we let it happen. From smoking bans to seat belt laws. Now the "Fairness Doctrine" and outrageous anti-gun legislation. Say "auf wiedersehen" to your first and second amendment rights! These were the first two for a reason!
Billion dollar bailout for the banks...and the government gets bigger. That can of worms was opened, now it's a mess.
Bailout for the auto industry...and the government gets BIGGER. Now they're talking about a "national bank?!" I thought we already had that. Maybe I missed something. Oh but wait, the Federal Reserve is a private bank, my bad.
Government cars? Look how well the Yugo went over. Government banks? Why not?! The government is known for excellent money management, Government schools? Brainwashing since birth. Government health care? Guess what, they're going to tell you how to live (See England for example.) Government college? How about mandatory military service too?
Government isn't the answer, it's the PROBLEM! Where's all this "hope?" "Change" is right, change for the worse. Thanks Obama for keeping that campaign promise! Over taxed, under employed and broke! Thanks Obama! This is change alright!
They (our elected officials) work for us! I want them all fired for putting us into this mess we're in. No bailouts for them either. We're letting them take us from the employers and turning us into the employees. WAKE UP AMERICA!
Land of the free? I think we lost the free part along the lines here.
I'm sick and tired of these hypocrite liberal douche bags! Kill the babies, save the polar bears. The world is not all friendly and fluffy. Stop being a wuss and get out there and get some! Write all your representatives and tell them what you really think.
Enough is enough. Join the NRA. Take the school condoms away from your kids. Teach them YOUR morals. Undo the brainwashing! Run for office, no experience required OR wanted! Speak out! Stand up! Don't take it anymore! Talk to your kids! Watch anything BUT Obama's prime-time lie fest on Monday.
Our troops are overseas fighting for our freedoms not our enslavement! I hope we're still free when they come back.
God bless the USA and her brave military!

Enough About Obama’s Race!!!
I’m about ready to lose my mind! I’m so tired of race being the talked about issue. I could honestly care less if Obama were black, white, purple, green or even green with purple polka dots! It’s not his color or race that is keeping me voting for him. I’m not voting for him because of his policies, because of his disrespect for the Constitution! I do not respect the man. I do not respect his ideas. I do not respect his view or what America should be. That has nothing to do with his race! Enough!
Voting for him just because he is black is also racism! Wake up and smell the Socialism people!
I strongly believe his race as an “issue” for people is Liberal propaganda to keep the focus off the real issues! Continuing even as Conservatives to give this topic credence is playing right into the Liberal’s hand!
Time to focus!
Obama is a Socialist.
Obama is for big government.
Obama has refused to prove his natural born citizenship.
Obama wants to “Redistribute the Wealth.”
Obama keeps admitted terrorists as friends and advisors.
Obama keep REAL racists as friends and advisors.
Obama wants to take away your right to defend yourself, your family and your home.
Obama wants to save the polar bears and kill your babies.
Obama refused to sing the National Anthem.
Obama pretends to “speak for the American people.” He does NOT speak for me! It makes me sick every time he says that phrase. In fact if more Americans were educated as to what Obama REALLY stands for I would hope they would realize he doesn’t speak for them either.
Obama would love nothing more than an uneducated, unarmed, complacent population.
If Obama wins the election, America as you know it will cease to exist. Not because he’s black, because he is dangerous.

When Cops Attack! Next on FOX!
July 2007
The Background:
I was at a bar/nightclub in Blaine helping a couple of buddies DJ & MC the club end of things. I had previously been a bar/nightclub DJ in the Twin Cities for 6 years. I had been a bouncer before that. In any event, we had been out there several times to run a couple nights (entertainment wise).
This particular night started a bit early as far as the BSing and drinking was concerned. Myself and the owner of the entertainment company (“Mr. X” for this purpose) providing the services to this bar had done a few shots amidst the cocktails. Also both myself and “Mr. X” have had MANY years of nightclub experience (combined especially).
That being said, please understand that there is a great deal of ego/cocky persona that goes along with working in this business. Mix that with the alcohol consumed by both myself and “Mr. X”, it was a disaster waiting to happen. Also, generally, what happens at a nightclub with employees is dealt with internally. Employees on an off night are generally the ones that consume too much. It’s a backdoor exit and a cab, no cops. The manager that was working at this establishment on this night was new and had previously managed an Applebee’s, not a nightclub. There were also bouncers at this establishment as well.
The Event:
Myself and “Mr. X” had been discussing the MC plan for the night as another individual was to be DJing. Keep in mind, MC’s run the show. So here’s room for disagreement, almost always when both MC’s have been drinking. Well a couple hours in this disagreement occurred. There was yelling, pushing/shoving, etc. (Been there, done that. Both of us have been. To quote “Mr. X” regarding the situation a week later: “It wasn’t the first time, it wasn’t the worst time and it won’t be the last time.” Speaking in general not about us in particular.) The rookie nightclub manager became alarmed, I was escorted out by security and the rookie manager called the Blaine P.D.
The Response:
6 Blaine police officers responded. Upon Blaine P.D.’s arrival, I was outside calm, cool and collected. I was several yards down from the manager while the police talked to both her and me. I stated that I knew my actions were out of line. I attempted to apologize to the manager. The police asked me what happened I explained that Mr. X and I had been drinking together and were working together this night and we had gotten into a disagreement. I told the officers I had consumed enough alcohol as to not want to drive and I was nowhere NEAR my car. I was going to have a friend come and pick me up.
One Blaine officer tried to forcibly make me take a breathalyzer (according to MN state law, I don’t have to and I can refuse without penalty if I’m not operating a motor vehicle.) and I refused. I bit the “straw” off and spit it out. I then grabbed my phone and started to try and call my lawyer. I had my phone taken from me.
Another officer then grabbed my face and forced another breathalyzer in my mouth, at which point I pushed his hands away from my face. (As far as I have read, according to MN state law, I have the right to have a lawyer present during any breath test.) At this point I had the attention of all 6 Blaine police officers and my face rapidly met the cement.
Was I being cooperative? No. I was busy having my rights violated and then getting the $#!T kicked out of me by 6 cops. After they had me subdued to their satisfaction I was placed under arrest and put in the back of a squad car. I was buckled in and transported to Blaine PD and then finally to Anoka County Jail.
In the morning I had noticed I was in a great deal of pain and my right foot had swollen by almost 50%. I was released the following morning without bail, without a hearing or anything, just kicked to the curb and released with a court date and what I found out a day later to be a broken foot. The charges? Misdemeanor “disorderly conduct” and Gross misdemeanor “obstruction of legal process.”
The Result:
I had to have surgery on my foot and have a pin put in. My foot causes me constant pain to this day. I try to avoid Blaine at all costs, if pulled over I will NOT step out of the vehicle or roll my window down more than a crack and request either an Anoka Deputy or a State Trooper. Through all the people that asked me how my foot was broken, I explained Blaine P.D. did it. The response from most people? “Ohhhh…Blaine…” On October 6th, 2008 I plead guilty to the disorderly conduct charge.
I finally got to read all the statements from the 6 responding officers. Out of all 6, there were only a couple consistencies: 1. The defendant appeared calm and cooperative upon arrival. 2. The defendant stated he had too much to drink and did not (was not going to) want to drive. One of my favorite quotes from one officer was: “The defendant wouldn’t put his feet in the squad so myself and officer so-n-so kicked at his foot until he complied.” I’m 6’3” tall and 240lbs, I can’t just jump in the back of a squad.
That all being said. Was I out of line inside the bar? Yes. Was I intoxicated? Yes. Was it necessary to kick the $#!T out of me? HELL NO.
I own up to being an idiot that night, but slamming me to the ground, “delivering leg strikes” and “kicking at my foot” until I complied was an abuse of power and excessive force. It was 6 “cops” operating with a mob mentality. Good thing I wasn't carrying back then, they probably would have just shot me off the bat.
"Mr. X" and I still talk. Nobody got hurt that night except me. Nothing else ever came out of this incident.

A.D.D. + TV = WTF?
"J.J. Abrams has done it again!"
If by "done it again" you mean created another rambling mystery/drama show, then you would be correct! From "Lost" to "Fringe" neither one of them makes much sense. To me this is what you get when you add a rich producer/writer with A.D.D. and television.
I used to enjoy "Lost" but after so many questions being added exponentially every episode it became irritating to watch. The number of new mysteries and questions far outnumbered the resolutions per show. The skipping back and forth in timeline and back story was equally frustrating.
Now with "Lost" entering syndication on the Sci-Fi channel and somehow still airing new episodes on ABC, J.J. has decided to annoy the general public with another show, "Fringe" airing on Fox.
"Fringe" is like the "X-Files" regurgitated, a far worse representation of an original idea. I'm ok with Science Fiction but a lot of Sci-Fi is based on science and what may be possible. "Fringe" is so far out there it's not even believable. The story line? Been there. The characters? Not nearly interesting enough. Resolution to "The Pattern?" None. We have no idea what "The Pattern" is, so it's hard to understand the urgency of anything they do. There's no real foundation to build on.
J.J. Abrams and his crew write TV shows like a 5 year old on a sugar high tells a story. A long rambling compilation of complete nonsense. "There was a polar bear! And! And! There was this smoke! And! And! There were like other people! And! And! There's a plane! And! And...Oh look! A shiny object! And! And! The other day...I had McDonald's for lunch!"
in·co·her·ent
–adjective
1. without logical or meaningful connection; disjointed; rambling: an incoherent sentence [OR TELEVISION SHOW].
Give me a break. "Bad Robot" indeed. Very bad.
ADDENDUM (10/3/08):
I'm all for escapism TV, I just don't want to have to sit down and watch a show with a notebook to keep track of multiple loose ends per show.
The episode of "Fringe" that aired on 9/30/08 was horrible. It made no sense, it was completely random for an hour!
My summary: Bald guy eats spicy food and watches construction. Earth shakes, things explode..."It" arrives. Somehow this subterranean suppository gets from the construction site to the FBI's custody. Crazy doctor insists it be moved to his lab and the FBI for some reason complies. Strange guy with weird machine can read minds apparently and seeks vibrating suppository. Crazy doctor moves "it" to somewhere only he should know about. Everybody shows up at this unknown location (including spicy food guy) and the suppository returns on its journey to the center of the earth or whatever. Dead partner shows up at female FBI agents home.
No character development. The son's character whines (as usual) about leaving. Still have no idea what the "Pattern" is and why they are all investigating it with such urgency. Finally, overall it had no real connection to the questions raised by previous episodes.
I give this show 8 thumbs down. I'll be surprised if it makes a second season, let alone the "Back 9."

I'm a Soccer Mom?
It has finally happened. I am officially a family man. Even though I have been for 8 years, I just now have been granted my minivan.What is scary as a young man, even a young parent...You will do anything to avoid the dreaded minivan. Then finally, before too long it becomes a necessity.
I have four kids. My son Jeffrey from my previous marriage is 8 years old. My daughter Jayden from a failed relationship is 1 year old. I also have 5 month old twins, Justine and Joseph, with my current girlfriend. (Yeah, yeah...Keep it to yourself!)
As you can probably guess, the average car no longer does the trick, especially if we ALL have to go somewhere. Until today we had to take two cars if we had all the kids. Even still, when my girlfriend has her three kids from her previous marriage (ages 12, 10 and 9), that brings the total number of children up to seven. Seven kids and two adults. Outside of purchasing a bus a minivan will do the trick. However, we will still have to take two vehicles if we have all the kids as nine people can't fit in a minivan.
All that being said, the most frightening thing is that I'm actually excited to have this minivan! I never thought it would happen. I've driven a Camero Z28, a Mustang GT, a couple RX7's and an assortment of SUV's and trucks. I still have my Yamaha R1 and now I want to hold on to that more than ever! I can't let it all go, I'm only 31!
The first thing I did after I took the van for a drive around the block was put my NRA Member sticker on the back. It may be a minivan but it will be a MANLY minivan. No soccer ball sticker here folks...Not going to happen. How many points does this take off my man card anyhow? Or does it? Since it is a Caravan Sport with a V6 instead of a 4Cyl.
That's all for now. I'll see you at the mall!
