Sorry to let the good folks at our top news departments down but....

Once again the media is upset that the end of the world is not near. Siting a source from CBS news, a top media official was very upset that we have only had 2 named tropical storms this year in the US and no hurricanes. This person's sentiments was shared by quite a few in the media. The same "objective" journalists that just a few months ago ran countless stories of pending world ending hurricanes, provided the US and other countries did not stop destroying the world. Global warming, the greenhouse effect and several other reasons were given as to why we would all be wiped off the face of the planet. Now, 2 or 3 months later, there is nothing unusual to report. Obviously these media types wish for more pain and suffering to prove the validity(which usually they do not give 2 shits about) of their "chicken little" reporting. Oh well. I cant wait til we do get one storm of signicance and see where they run then.

Going Postal?

I know that it is quite cliched about someone going postal. But jesus! Has anyone been in a post office line recently. I really do believe that one, if not all 3(rarely do you find 3 or more actually ready to assist customers), could take out someone at the drop of a dime. More noticeably, each other. They seem to be the most unhappy people you encounter as a consumer. Granted, individuals may surpass the USPS's finest in terms of sheer anger or discontent. But overall, I think they have cornered the market on vocational unrest. Just remember the next time you see that person in line with about 5 boxes and wants to send each one a different method, some with signature guarentees, some without. The look in the staff's eyes should say it all, "if tomorrow wasnt Saturday, you would be dead!"

NFL Season Fast Approaching

For those who feel that the Super Bowl was just completed, you are right. However, that does not stop the world of NFL from proceeding with its training camps and pre season hype. I cannot count how many daily sports call-in shows are talking non stop football, when the season is still some time away. Granted, being about 65% thru a 162 game baseball season is not the most exciting time to be talking sports, but come on. It is bad enough that we will be force fed NFL very soon, anyway. Must we endure the thoughts and speculations of mindless drones that need to know what the "Expert of the Day" thinks about that person's favorite team?? I can tell you how the Cincinatti Bengals will fare this year. They will win a few they are not supposed to, they will lose a few the same way. In the end, they may or may not go to the playoffs. Who cares in July anyway? How about not pondering the real deep Nitzche like questions until at least September? That way, you can use that penetrating mind for other things, like not burning your eyebrows off every time you light the grill this summer. Deal?? Good. In case it has not crept into this thought, I am not the biggesty NFL fan, but I do like the football season. Just not 2 months prior to that season starting. Skins anyone?

Anyone want to chime in on the ONLY veto so far in President Bush's tenure?

I find it interesting that this is the first Veto that Pres Bush has issued since day one in office. I do not really care about the topic of the Veto, just that I think he should have probably vetoed other things in the last 6 years. Only now does he veto something that everyone knew he would veto, and he knew that the House and Senate could not override that veto. Not going out on that limb too far now, are we? For a president that has been balls out since day one, not caring at all about the opinion of his presidency, I find it hard to believe that this is veto # 1.

If you are that niave.....

OK, I have just about had it with the "cry me a river because the US Government took too long to rescue me from my vacation in downtown Beirut" morons. I am sorry but if you willingly went to Lebanon for a vacation during heightened tensions between Israel and Lebanon(when arent there heightened tensions?), then get over it. Please do not start playing the victim and blaming the US for all your troubles. You feel the US Government is not looking out for its citizens in these situations do you?? Well let's take a closer look, shall we? The US State Department(that little office that is in charge of situations like these) has issued no less than 4 warnings to all US citizens living/traveling in that area since November of 2005. So excuse the fuck out of me while you get your 15 minutes on the evening news condemning your country, yet again, for not responding fast enough to your call. Well obviously you did not respond to the government when they happened to tell you to get the fuck out while you can. Then you have to odasity to complain about the food, beveridges, etc on your Marine escort, like you on some fucking Carnival Cruise?!? Stop playing the victim. Why you think the US is responsible for adults making their own travel/living arrangements, in light of warnings by that same government, is beyond me. I suppose if you lived in a hurricane potential city, you would ignore that same warning to get out when one was headed your way. We would then find you on the news, without a home, with your hand out looking for some of Uncle Sam's disaster fund, because you were too stupid to just get the fuck out. Sorry, Katrina flashbacks. But that is another story.

For those visiting that search other blogs, if you have any suggestions for this site, please let me know.

The Atlanta Braves Making A Charge. About TIme.

If the suck ass bullpen of the Atlanta Braves would have shown up in just 50% of their losses, Atlanta once again, would be in 1st place in the National League East. To date, the bullpen has blown 20, yes 20 fucking saves this season. For those that are not baseball knowledged, that means that going into the last inning, they were ahead. Then the bullpen fucked it up and the braves either lost or had to win in extra innings. Having followe the braves, it is usually the loss. So take about the 16 losses resulted from the blown saves, add wins instead, and you have the national league west winners despite the mets 180 million payroll.

Israel...starting their own World War?

Does anyone else get the impression that left alone, Israel may take care of syria, Lebanon and Iran all by itself? They do not need incentive or permission to eradicate that area or Jewish hating Muslims. They have been practiced at this for over a thousand years and I feel they are more than prepared to do what is necessary to take down those who oppose it.
