Members of the Republican party want Mr. Obama to use the word "Terrorist" more often. I've got a better idea, les post a list of racist terrorist starting with:
George Bush and the bushites. Add to that Dick Cheney. Why, raiding a country because he could and in tern murdering 6,000 American troops. No estimate on how many Civilians.
Pat Robertson, the senile leader of the pay to pray steeple people. Every time there's a catastrophe in the world he blames some group of people most hurt. This old fart should be castrated and put out to pasture to graze with the rest of the animals.
Who's next, why of course it has to be Lard Limbaugh and his solid gold microphone. This racist pig spews more vomit than a drunk hooker on a Saturday night. I apologize to the prostitutes of the world for using that reference.
Add more, that's easy. Sarah Palin, Bill O'really, Shaun Hanity and the rest of the racist liars at Fox the biggest of whom is Glenn Beck with his mellow dramatic garbage.
Yes I know about he first amendment, it's the only way these creeps can survive.
The "Tea Baggers" defined in any group as those that press their scrotum on a sleepers face. An apt description. The idiot with the gun on his hip is just looking for an excuse to use it. That's not defensive, that's not his wrights he's displaying, it's his mentality.
The republican party wants to call a Terrorist a Terrorist. Let's do it for real. Or perhaps their all too busy tea bagging each other!

Teabagging is referred as, upon a successful kill of another player, crouching over the head of the victim's dead body as they lay on their back (dead); and doing so repeatedly in a "teabagging" motion. This act is to shame and humiliate the victim player, and usually incites anger and violence. This act is not unlike dances performed by football players after a touchdown. "John began teabagging Jane after his hand grenade blew up next to her head; this angered Jane greatly." related words: shaming humiliation screwed exploited victorious by Joenathan Dec 19, 2005 share this 7. Teabagging 15 up, 4 down buy teabagging mugs, tshirts and magnetsThe scrotum, much like the tea bag, is a pouch that is used specifically as a means of convenient storage. The tea bag is to tea-leaves as the scrotum is to testicles. Now most people would come to the consensus that the scrotum is not the most attractive aspect of the male form, and that it should be hidden from view at all times because of its offensive appearance and function. Whenever the scrotum comes out of hiding, people tend to take notice. Imagine a scenario in which you and your close associates are out drinking all night and having a gay old time. Also imagine that you have a friend named Greg, who in light of his low tolerance for alcohol, proceeds to act like a total dilweed for most of the evening, and his night reaches its climax when he passes out. (Note: Greg has passed out with his shoes still on, making him fair game.) You and your friends decide that Greg should be punished for his capriciousness, and one friend-let’s say his name is Jarvis- suggests that “we should tea-bag him!” As has remained constant since the colonial days of tar and feathers, mob mentality prevails. Everyone praises Jarvis for his idea, which seems brilliant in the context of inebriation, and they suggest that he have the honor of performing the deed. Jarvis walks over to the incapacitated Greg, and proceeds to unzip his jeans. He delicately exposes his scrotum and slowly descends, hovering above Greg until he finally allows his junk to come to rest gently on Greg’s face. Applause.

The date below is one month after I called for the appointment.
October 21, 2009
Del-Val Urology Washington Twp. NJ Dr Weimer.
Scale of 1 to 10. 10 being best.
10-21-09 ----- Observation. Waiting room: First visit long wait. Nothing new there it's a Dr's office. (5)
. Exam room: Dr. prompt, (8) Pleasant, (9) Listens, (10) Personal Comfort level, (10) Physical Exam(Comfort Level) (9) Comprehension, (8) Goal (5) Band-Aid Med. Remains to be seen. / Doxycyline, antibiotic. -- Band-Aid Med.(Uroxatral) Nasty! (1) Effect of Medication worse than reason for taking it. -- Uroxatral Stopped after five doses. As usual every side effect possible and some that no one ever thought of. (Urination every 12 to 15 minutes) (0)
Set next Appointment. 11-18-09 (8)
11-18-09 Waiting room, (7) Hell it's getting better. Evaluation of results between visits. Including a CT Scan. (4)
Next visit. 27 Days. 11-15-09 (2) --- 27 days, I'm glad I don't have a problem. My personal observation under these circumstances is this. Unless you are bleeding to death, be prepared to visit the average Doctors office for 3 months before getting to the point where something beside conversation and prescription is the norm if you are lucky.
11-17-09 3:30 Pm Back for consultation about Prostate Ultra Sound. Dr Sussman Informed me of "slightly" enlarged Prostate, Re-Exam determined a Hernia on left side. Possible restriction in Urethral passage, (Comment not needed!) Visit with Dr. (9)
He, Dr Sussman will do a Systoscopic and repair, with Laser what he finds, and correct or repair the Hernia. (Short Version!) (9)
On to the Receptionist for scheduling. --- First I'm told I need, Permission? from my Heart Doctor. . My question, will you take care of all that? . My answer was to have them call and make an appointment for me to go get the permission. WHAT! (No fax, No phone or does he need a piece of this pie as well. That visit isn't going to be a freebee!)
It's December 24, 2009. --- I have no schedule for the procedure. I still can't pee correctly. I'm still in pain. My temper is starting to get very, very short.
. My personal observation, It isn't just the Insurance Companies that need looking at. Their only half the problem.
CWR65
===========================================
01/13/10 ------------------------------ Adding to this post. If you think the Medical profession is about health, read on. The bottom line not health is much more important.
Friday January 4, 2010 my appointment with the Heart Doctor complete. I'll call Del-Val Urology to find out if we can now schedule the needed procedure.
Noon, Wednesday January 13, 2003.
... And of course I got Voice-Mail. Second call 10 minutes later, Voice-Mail again. Call to main number, put on hold for 10 minutes then line went dead.
... This would be funny if it weren't so tragic.
Why tragic? Because this organization is a monopoly in this area. As I've said before it isn't just the Medical Insurance that needs taking a look at.
12:38 pm. Got thru to the scheduler. Procedure date February 28 2010. I guess I can wait until then to pee!
... This is what happens when the bottom line is more important than the patient. And no I know I'm not the only one.
I called back to make an appointment or speak to the Doctor. One more source of frustration. "Hold please."
To be Continued.]]>http://opinion.cwr65.com/index.php?entry=entry091224-1030212009-12-24T00:00:00Z2009-12-24T00:00:00ZLight the ovens, It's 1939 again.
Light the ovens, It's 1939 again.
This time it's Uganda. This time it's Gays not Jews. This time it's being helped along by some well known steeplepeople, and our friends at The Family on "C" street in Washington DC. Now add in the Quackery of the group that claims they can change Gay's to straight. At least Hitler didn't have that one.
In Uganda it's not called "The Final Solution" as it was in Hitler's Germany. It's just a bill in the Ugandan Parliament to imprison for life anyone that is gay. Or hang them!
No ovens here just something a little more rudimentary. Of course if a few dissidents and protesters got mixed in with the Gays no one would bat an eye if the Ugandan Government said they were gay.
I must ask where is the US State Department on this matter?
Where does the limp minded and useless United Nations stand?
Why isn't this being reported on every so called news outlet? Or are their Experts too busy trying to make news rather than report it.
Ovens,, The Jews, it was called the final solution.
Burning Crosses,, The 40's, 50's, 60's.
Bombs,, Today, The terrorist.
Hang Gay Men and women,, The Ugandan Government supported by the Religious fanatics elected and ordained, unfortunately not just in Uganda, but in the US as well.
Light the ovens, It's 1939 again. Remembering History doesn't do a damn thing unless you're willing to do something about it.

New Jersey and other places to be raped by the Banking system.
Commerce Bank, The most convenient bank is now TD bank and the rules have changed.
In 2 days I have been hit with 2 $35.00 dollar overdraft charges. Why because TD no longer post to an account at time of purchase or MAC withdrawal.
When it was Commerce I had them turn OFF Overdraft protection, without notification TD turn it back ON. Look closely boys and girls because your overdraft protection is back on as well. How do I know, because I just called several friends that had turned their Overdraft Protection off and now it is back on.
When I asked why I was told it is to help Customers.
BULLS..T! It's to make money for the bank. Just use your imagination, I'll use a conservative arbitrary figure. This isn't nickels and dimes, it's millions of dollars.
100,000 Customers get hit with a $35.00 Overdraft charge, do the math, that's what the bank just made because their computers are set to post not when you Buy or use your MAC card but when it will do them the most good.
. WATCH YOUR STATEMENT!
. WATCH YOUR ACCOUNT!
. RAISE HOLY H.LL WITH THE BANK WHEN THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY.
At one time I could go to a store and make a purchase, come home and see that purchase in monetary value deducted from my account. No more, now it's at the grace of the bank when to post to the account.
In Washington DC we have Legislators that are paid by the Banking lobby to make sure laws are NOT passed that protect the Customer, screw the customer, we just bail the banks out. The banks in turn send our law makers to Hawaii as a thank you for their help.
Where does this end? Lets all see how many banks support the lawmakers that can't get re-elected because the public is watching.
But by then of course the lawmakers will be even richer and the banks will still be sticking their hands in our pockets. And be realistic, the Lawmakers are there to farther their political career not do our bidding. We only elected them, we didn't pick them we just elect them.
No confidence in the law.
I think it's time for all of us to find a bank that still puts Customers first and surcharges second.
Sitting here I must wonder what happened to CHANGE Mr. Obama, it all still looks the same if not worse.
Change we can count on! Good slogan, it's a shame it means for the worse.

My response to the message below was a sarcastic inward smile. I voted for Mr. Obama, (First vote in 65 years) I DO NOT Vote in local elections. So far they haven't put Micky Mouse or Gooofy up for election. But then that's what we get anyway.
Mr. Obama has never lived in New Jersey or he would run for the nearest exit when it comes to supporting any party Candidate for office in this state. The highest taxes in the US, High unemployment, every township and county able to worm their way into the state coughers and make any decision they like. New Jersey politics is a real role model for the rest of the US. How NOT to run a state, look at NJ.
My 1 cent, the state takes the other penny.
Joe Robinson Deptford NJ.
The Original Message from the campain. "Joe --
This is it -- it's Election Day, and President Obama is counting on you to give him a strong partner in Trenton. Don't forget to go vote!
If Governor Corzine wins today, he will fight alongside the President for the next four years. If Chris Christie wins, he'll spend the next four years fighting against the President and taking New Jersey back to Bush-era policies.
This election will be decided by just a few votes -- so before you go to the polls, call five fellow Corzine supporters right near you and let them know when and where to vote. It will make a big difference, and they'll appreciate the reminder.
Look up your polling location and share it with five voters in your precinct.
Thanks for all your work,

Cancer, and it's on the package!
The Item I'm talking about is used in Plumbing connections to join 2 pieces of Copper Tubing. Either at 90 Degree or as a union. They come in several inside diameters.
On 10/19/09 I purchased 2, 90* El's for 1/2" ID Copper. My project was to move two supply lines that have been in the way for years and this item would have solved the problem.
Tuesday morning the 20th I started the project by picking the 2 El's up off the counter and reading the directions.
It wasn't the directions that caught my eye. It was the warning at the very bottom of the package.
Product distributed by CashAcme, sold by several Home remodeling outlets. I purchased them in Home Depot.
" Proposition 65 Warning: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. Notice to Installer/Contractor: California law requires this notice be provided to the consumer/end user of this product " ------------------------------------------ My first thought was that perhaps it doesn't cause cancer in any other state. After all I live in NewJersey, does that warning apply here? Damn right it does!
I took them back to the local HomeDepot RT 41, in Deptford NJ 08096 Asked to talk to the manager and had him read the package. He also seem to be surprised.
This post is going to continue because I am about to call the offices of HomeDepot.
Why am I doing this, because in 2001 I had a rather large tumor removed from my colon. I think others should be alerted.

That was my first mistake. Second mistake ordering from that outside menu. A bunch of pictures with names and prices. Not size, not amount of beef, nothing to tell how large the sandwich will be. Roast burger, with 2 onion rings on it, 2 wafer thin slices of Tomato, about 1oz of some type meat and no cheese that I ordered, unless it was there and not enough to tell. $6.68 - Large Curley fries - Larg Pepsi. and a Salad that I would NOT feed a dog. Dry meat, the white of the lettuce, some cheap dressing that was ransit in taste.
For the $12.49 I could have cooked 2 meals and they would have been edible.

Last night on the news, ALL of them. Was a clip from a Republican rally in the State of Delaware.
The focus of the Clip was a Woman that couldn't have been more absurd waving a Zip -Lock bag screaming that she had her Birth certificate. Good I'm so glad to see that you were born and added to the LUNATIC fringe, because with out that piece of paper one might think you were just an other idiot trying to get on TV. Nice RED dress by the way. It matches the one worn by the crazy old lady at the John McCain rally that he debunked.
Thinking about it most of the lunatics wear red.
The Zip-Lock Lady. Red. The crazy old broad at the John McCain rally. Red. Sarah Palin, what's her favorite color? Red.
Scary ain't it! But at least we can see them coming.

Dear Mr. President
Sixteen months ago I registered for the first time in my life because I thought we had a Man that would make changes. Changes that would remove the status quo. Changes that were very difficult for any President to make. In some cases you have moved the proverbial mountain, in others you have put very important changes on the back burner. Frankly I would like to believe you have reasons other than following the old boy network. That would have made it worth while to have voted for you.
Now I may be wrong, lord knows that's been the case many times in my life, I would hope not in this case.
Here goes. As an American I don't want my President to turn the other cheek when insulted. As an American I don't want a friend in the White House. As an American I don't want Mr. Cool or Mr. Cool head in charge of the Oval office.
As an American I want a President that will fire back at the opposition with a "Prove your point or shut the hell up!" As an American I want a President that is decisive without the deal making. Wouldn't that be a welcome change, a change we could all live with.
The American People are like the Sports fans in Philadelphia. Win, get cheered, loose or look like your loosing and the boo's never stop. In your case Sir winning is everything because the stands are starting to thin out, not as many people are buying the tickets.
Drop the Mr. Nice Guy. Name names and tell it like it is, that would be a change we all could live with.
The United States needs a way to pay for Medical care and reform. You have the money, you have billions at your disposal that is being burnt in fields and incinerators. Marijuana is a cash cow worth billions a year. Legalize it and let the states handle it the same way they handle Alcohol. --> (Let me put a disclaimer to that. I DO NOT SMOKE. I DO NOT GET HIGH. But if I did it would be easier than getting a bottle of Scotch at 2am.)
To those idiots that use the (What about the children?) It's available in school, let them get their own. Legalize it and get it off the streets. Legalize it and reap the BILLIONS in taxes from it. Let each state handle it the same way they handle the sale of Alcohol. To those that think we can stop it any other way. Think about the 18th Amendment and it's effect until 1933 when it was repealed.
On talking to the American People, that's a fantastic idea if YOU talk louder than the nay say'ers. On talking to the American People, It only works if YOU are the BULLY. We don't want an equal, we want a leader that will fight. We want a leader that will call a liar a liar. Not explain in PC that he or she has it wrong. Tell the bastards to prove they're right and why, and when they can't tell them in no uncertain terms to shut the F... up.
One more thing I'll add to what has become a rant. Gat's in the Military. Your being told that it wouldn't work. (Simplified) Bull SH..! It's been working for millennia, It's just that no one wants to admit it. Here's a figure for you Mr. President. 1 in 4 Military Men and Women in the Military are either Gay, Bi, or supporters. Meaning they enjoy the company 'of' as a matter of convenience. That's inclusive of the higher ups with all the Metal on their chest.
Let me remind you Mr. President, there's only one thing you have that sets you apart from those elected before you. Your word. Please read the speeches that got you elected, they will be your legacy or your downfall.
My Pappy said talk was cheap, not this time, not this year, not this term. Please remember we put you there.

The state of New Jersey needs money, don't we all.
Their, or should I say our Governor, has come up with a way to collect money that should not be owed to the state. Tax Amnesty, another name for covering up state price fixing.
Between 2002 and 2005 I bought cigarettes on line. The state of NJ subpoenaed records from www.esmokes.com and I got in the middle, so did many others. Some paid, some lost their homes.
What they didn't notice or ignored was that the state had not billed the tax on what we paid for the cigarettes on line. But what we WOULD have paid in NJ.
Make it clear. I paid $18.47 a carton. The State charged tax on the New Jersey price of $36.00 a carton. And the respective price increase over the years in the state. You think not. I can prove it!
That's not bad enough. I never said I didn't want to pay, but like the amnesty it's WE WANT IT NOW!
Well it's NOW again, and I don't have the amount the state wants, if I did I would pay it just to get rid of this mess.
You see, paying $2K when you live on $1K a month SS, is a little difficult.
The actual cost of the cigarettes purchesed was $631.00, not the fixed price of $1200+ then add tax & interest.
Mr. Cosine I was under the distinct impression that price fixing was illegal in New Jersey.
P.S. At least this time the letter came from the state not someone that the state allows to use their logo. Yea I can prove that as well.[/]]]>http://opinion.cwr65.com/index.php?entry=entry090508-1333572009-05-08T00:00:00Z2009-05-08T00:00:00ZHospital Release - Left in the dark.
Hospital Release - Left in the dark.
When one is released from a Hospital (JFK Washington Twp. Gloucester County NJ) they are given a few meaningless forms that either can't be read or contain minimal information. Almost as if the Diagnoses is proprietary to the Doctor. Getting that information is an exorcise in the purest form of frustration.
Here's a suggestion,
after all you the Doctor made money off the patient, the least you could do is supply the results of those expensive test to the patient.
For a follow up the patient needs to know the name of the Doctor or Doctors that pinched, poked, X-rayed, talked to the patient while the patient was knee deep in wonderland because of the pain killer or half asleep because it's impossible to sleep properly in a Hospital.
A list of ALL Doctors should be included with the discharge. Perhaps the patient is impressed by the Doctor. With out it, try getting that info a few days later. Too logical?
Detailed instructions should be included with that discharge, not a vague "Be sure to make an appointment with ......... "
When told by the patient that all information and results should be shared with other Doctors, that that information in it's entirety should go to the Doctors that the Patient requested. IT DOES NOT.
In the sixteen times I have been in the Hospital in the last eight years not once has my Medical information been sent to the Doctors I have requested receive that information.
Just in case someone has forgotten. Those Computers are not for 'myspace' 'facebook' 'twitter' or the email from Aunt Mary with the cute picture attachments. Firewall my ass.

Mr. President. Save and make money selling 'Pot'
Yup, that's what I said. But first let us turn back the clock to January 29, 1919 and the 18th Amendment. "Thou shall not drink" Bless the steeplepeople and do-gooders they know what's best for all of us. BULL!
It made millionaires, (Billionaires today) it killed people, it maimed others that drank anything that was called Alcohol. It created waves of crime. It was transported in trucks cars and on ships. Sound familiar?
Back to today.
How would Ten to Twenty Billion dollars in the federal coffers sound. How would saving Ten to Twenty Billion dollars by not having to chase ghost that sell pot by taking away the profit line.
No cars or trucks to stop and search for pot, is that worth two billion? Let's add to that an other $1.4 Billion in new equipment to chase a weed that isn't harmful.
One third less Prisoners in institutions because they were found with two seeds on the car floor. $2.5 Billion a year.
Children unable to buy pot on the streets because the dealers can't make a profit off of it.
No domestic calls to the local police because Mr. Trailer trash got drunk and whipped hell out of his 'ol' lady' he was drunk. No one ever blew smoke and went looking for a fight.
You don't even need a new law. Each state has their own it's under such names as the ABC, (Alcohol Beverage Control. Etc.) you don't need a new agency, you have DEA, only now they would know where to look for a problem.
Too simple, too logical, to many steeplepeople and do-gooders that haven't a clue that would fight it.
Pot is not addictive unless you have an addictive personality, hell then you could get hooked on cool-aid.
$50 to $70 BILLION dollars a year in taxes, and eliminated expenditures. Hell that would save GM, well almost.
Just think, all those Police that are out there for no reason, chasing something that only makes the bad guys rich could be doing better things.
Legalize it, Tax it, Control it.

Rush Limbaugh I just wanted to make sure I spelled that correctly. Then again it could have been spelled, Racist, Bigot, Anarchist, Drug Addict, Loud Mouth, Lard Ass, Etc. (Just to many to type that fit this clown)
In a recent statement he said it was time to 'bend over and grab your ankles' He has used the analogy to describe other things that he wanted to spew venom about. This time it just happened to be about our New President. His characterization sounds more like it was written to be on FOX Vomit, but if the FCC wishes to allow him to get away with it, someone must feed the lunatic fringe that are his Audience.
The comment about him bending over and grabbing his ankles left many of us with a mental picture that could have used some additional mental soap and water to remove.
But then him sucking that BIG BLACK cigar aligns with his desire to be bent over. A little Freudian slip Rush?
Some one once asked if I could tell one asshole from an other, my answer then is as it is now. "Yes by the smell" Think about it.
Sitting here thinking about this, I must wonder if his sponsors are in alignment with his opinions, or are they oblivious to his intent.
Rush, that is a strange name. It is used normally as a description of the feeling one gets from drugs, isn't it?
Even the Cable news is a Re-Run. CNN is a loop, at a specific time CNN starts re-running the days news, or what they call news. BTW that's no more than a slice of a story, and 6 panel members to explain what you just saw and how to understand it.
DUH! If their so good at what they do why are they not running the country, surely they could do a better job than those they are explaining.
My TV gets turned on at 6 pm. First the local news. But if I want the entire story I am told to go to their website. Hell if I wanted to read the news on the web it wouldn't be their site, I would read it where they get it and not be subjected to all the advertising.
Next it's world news. Very little, all of that is on the web as well, they do the leads but if you want more go read it, they don't have time to put it on it would get in the way of the Experts.
At 7pm I push the mute button on the east coast, I'm not interested in the whores and slut's hour. And because I don't have any small children to be taught that it's OK to look like a pimp or hooker, it stays muted until 8pm.
Around 8 I turn the sound back on, grab the remote and check to see if some idiot programmer screwed up and put something new on. Most of the time it's no such luck. If it's a cable channel like the History channel or the Discovery channel you can almost bet it's a loop that played this time last year, and the year before. It might be about Sharks but that's been running for 4 years, the same loop. Such is the case with the UFO week, or is that year, no matter it's just an other re-run. Then there's the cages being lowered into the water for the 9,000Th time and pulled back up with uncooked crab. Cook it put it on my plate now I'm interested. And I keep missing, maybe hoping all the crew, the camera crew would fall overboard, talk about irony!
ABC, CBS, and NBC all cater to the group that uses the TV as background noise, they don't sit and watch, of course you can't blame them there is nothing to watch, more re-runs, Trailer trash running around on an island in some remote place because the first "Reality" show had good ratings. Perhaps the programmer should have looked to see what was opposite the first one. That has more to do with ratings than how good or bad a show is, most of them are just raw stupidity. Now and then one of the wizz kids on the 'reality' show gets hurt by really being as stupid as the show it's self, but who was watching. It was on Utube the next day.
Game shows in primetime, great background noise. Those models have suitcases, put em' on a train, they won't be missed. CSI Miami, with a drama queen as the lead, he didn't make it on NYBlue, get an actor, stop shooting through the pretty glass, kill off all the stupid effects and tell the story, or is that all you have.
Here's a tip for the viewing public. Get a remote, start Monday, and hold down the forward key starting at 8Pm, continue that every night for one week and you will NOT miss a thing. Because for the five day cycle you will past the same innocuous trash every night.
I watch it all. at least 10 seconds of everything on 30 channels. I'd get more channels but then I would just be getting more trash more re-runs, more melodramatics, more of the same crap.
Well I must go, it's 6pm time to see if the person at the controls screwed up and put something on worth watching. Now that's entertainment.

... Before 8 years ago I only watched TV if I were in someone else's home and it was on. Then I stared at it like the other idiots in the room, oblivious to what was going on in the small screen.
... Visiting friends that constantly complained about their electric bill, too stupid to realize that the 7 TV sets in the house were all on and no one was paying any attention. And BTW that little box burns almost as much electric when turned off (no picture stupid) as it does when the 300th re-run of Smokey and the Bandit is on in the Bathroom, Den, Kitchen, Garage, Bedrooms (Yes that's an S it means more than one)
... Eight years ago I was diagnosed with cancer and now spend much of my time in the house. After about a year and chemo, a heart attach, and an ulcer(No doubt because of the 700th running of Titanic) I turned the damn thing off and left it off.
... With the Election and the uniqueness of it I have tried to follow it on the cable news. Don't waste time, fox is pro George and the
Bushites. msnbc is about as far the other way as can be imagined. CNN is for the most part down the middle depending on who has the mike at the time. (Except that CNN like the others has their news on a loop, YUP! more RE-RUNS!) How do you re-run the news, doesn't the word "NEWS" have the word "NEW" in it, CNN doesn't. I would guess that's so that you can watch the other networks and not miss what went on 7 hours earlier. (Sure I will)
... Network news is very 'pretty' nice sets, good looking people, nice hair BTW, but nothing unless you count the times you are told to go read it on their website. Hell why would I watch it on TV if I can read it there, and you can't read it there because you can't find it for the commercial ads.
... And don't bother trying to send any of the news media an email, (it's called frustrated search) That's where you bury it so deep that it frustrated the one doing the search and they give up) Just try to find an email address for one of the cable or network news, hell try it for a local station. If you do hang on to it because they move them to make it more difficult the next time.
... Ain't life a bitch. ]]>http://opinion.cwr65.com/index.php?entry=entry080929-1311152008-09-29T00:00:00Z2008-09-29T00:00:00ZDidn't we have weather before? ... I'm sure we had Hurricanes and Tornadoes in my lifetime and I am 60+ Yea I know we did. But I don't ever remember the News Media including Cable news devoting days to it.
... Last night I surfed around the channels to see who was repotting what as I always do. Now I realize that covering the DNC took a lot out of the Men and Women that covered it but I do believe in my hart that there are back up people to cover other things that are important, like who in Hollywood is doing drugs, who they are going to bed with and who is getting a divorce. I guess to some that's the most important.
... The wind in an area that gets big storms far out shadows the war in Iraq, or Afghanistan. Every channel showing George and the Bushites trying to make peace with the fiasco of Katrina, and only because the cameras were watching this time.
... It all made me think, 'wouldn't it be great to have a news media that reported the news that was equally important'. No Experts to tell us what is obvious, no one to show us the way it was intended.
... You see I'm not interested in people that "go back for more" If it's a problem living on the Gulf coast, don't live on the Gulf coast. I know that's to simple. If I lived where a Tornado ripped my neighbors house off it's foundation I wouldn't wait for my turn. If Water was high enough to drown everything in it's path I would buy a boat and get the hell out of there permanently, and before the wind, water and news cameras showed up.
... Think about it. You loose everything and just because it looks nice on a good day it's worth loosing everything all over again.

I’ll preface this by saying I think that ‘Corporate America’ (or is that china) has the Wright to make as much money as they like, want, or need. But not at the cost of the Employee’s, or the Customers that support them. .
I went into the local HomeDepot, after picking up a few things I headed toward the register, of course only one(1) open,, 5 people that looked like they could kill a puppy were standing in line. The store manager just happened to be arranging an end display so I asked if he had any more registers he would open…. His answer,, (like I didn’t know what was coming) was: “Oh we have self service check out, so no one has to wait” Oh Shit now I’m in trouble.
I very politely asked him, “If I use that, will I get a discount?” and “How many folks does that put out of work?” He looked like he had been kicked in the (well you know). I am always surprised that others don’t ask the questions I do. I handed him the Items and said, “Here, you put them away, I know you must be short on help” You see, I don’t stand in line to spend money, and if others took the same policy we as customers may just be treated a little better. But some Folks don’t mind standing in line like Cattle waiting to be branded..
Oh, the things I was going to buy, I bought on line, they will be here in a couple days.

Previously posted the Dull-Roar Forum.
Friday, May 19, 2006, 03:44 PM Government & Regulate, All in the Same Sentence?
… Are you joking? The Federal Government has decided it wants to regulate the Internet. Now I find that amusing if only because the Federal Government can not regulate it’s self. … Every day we are finding out that an other Senator, or Congressman is a croaked S-O-B, padding His or Her way through their term. Yet there are no REGULATIONS that stop the croaked bastard from receiving a Pension even when they are convicted.
… Senator lightfingers, steals for 20 years, gets put on a Golf course(Oh that’s not correct, it’s a minimum security prison) (( GET REAL)) for 6 months, and still gets paid by the Government, and at age 65 still gets a Social Security check. Are You Shitting me! You try it. His friends, Mrs. Snatchit Quick, and Mr. Grab Abunch Esq, Can’t keep their mind off the trips to a Skiing resort, and they want to regulate the Internet!
… I want A President in the White House that leaves the public alone. For those that want to regulate everything but themselves just so they can say: “I did that”, “I helped pass that law” I would hope the prison is not so minimum security, and your cellmate screws you the way you are screwing the public.
… And to those that are promoting this, I mean those that just sit there and say, or do nothing, (about 83%) I hope you like the screwing that we are getting from those that YOU elected. Remember, if laws are passed, it will take many, many, years to get them off the books, if ever!
… If only the intention was for the benefit of the public,, Excuse me while I go puke!
I just saw an advertisement on TV that said we have plenty of oil. I believe that ad. I also believe in taxing the folks behind that ad.
Guess who, big oil would fit well in your answer. Plenty of oil it says. Guess who pays to drill for that oil, You and me!
My questions to those that want to drill for oil off the shore line.
How long before we get oil from the drilling?
How much are we going to have to pay for it?
What is the percentage of the cost of drilling is passed on to the consumers?
Last but not least, who the hell do you think your kidding?
I was borne at night, but not last night. If the oil companies didn't stand to increase their already high profit they would never spend the money to run the ads or pay the bills for congressmen.
TAX the oil companies!
When John McCain says that Off Shore Drilling would help immediately he is a LIAR! Who wrote and paid for that ad, big oil or big oil lobbyist, same thing?

You have the power.
Several years ago I posted for the first time on many web sites that the American people had the power to reduce gas prices.
You don't like the price of gas, don't buy it was the theme. ... The original post is at the bottom of this rant!
Now two years later when gas doubled in price, people started to curtail their use of gas thinking more about where they were going and why. The large engined pickup trucks are sitting on the dealers lots along side the gas guzzling SUV's. Eight trips to the mall do not seem as important as they once did.
GAS PRICE IS DOWN! The investors that were driving the price up started to see how the general public was reacting to the $$$$$$$$$$$$ Profit of the Mega oil Co. as they (The buying public) decided that food on the table was more important than the 6 trips a day to the local convience store.
Don't fall off the wagon. You still have the power to control price. Don't top off that tank, buy what you need, and just because the gas on one corner is 2 cents cheaper don't fill it up, you waist that much gas waiting in line.
REMEMBER THAT ONLY YOU THE CONSUMER CAN DRIVE PRICE DOWN. DON'T BE STUPID ENOUGH TO FALL INTO A COMPLACENT ATTITUDE THAT IT IS AS LOW AS IT WILL GO. ----------------------------------------------
Mon May 05, 2008 7:42 pm
... Power, You have it, You're just too stupid to use it.
... The price of Gas is directly related to demand. Don't like the price, don't buy Gas. Here come the arguments.
... "I have to go to work" That's one of the few valid reasons. ... "I have to go to the Doctors" OK an other valid reason to drive. ... "I take my kids to school, they won't ride the school bus" They also can't communicate with their peers, look you in the eye when they speak to you and stomp their feet when you don't show up at 3pm because the big bully might say boo. Don't force them to grow up, it might be good for them. ... "I have to pick the baby up at daycare" Leave the brat there you didn't want the brat anyway. That's why others are raising it. ... "I have to get around" And around, and around and around. ... "I only go to the Mall" Several times a week.
... Here in cloudy, sunny, rainy, cold, warm, damp, ugly, beautiful New Jersey Gas is $3.55 a Gallon, I know because I bought $25.00 worth the first of the month. I may buy an other $15.00 by the end of the month. What I don't do is move my car unless it has to move.
... "Oh that does nothing" You're right it doesn't do anything except save me money. If the rest of the Motoring public did the same thing, COST OF GAS WOULD GO DOWN.
... No, YES, it's a commodity. The price is directly related to those that invest in making a profit. They make the profit. You dig deep to run to the Mall.
Sounds pretty stupid don't you! ... Then we can't all claim we didn't vote for George and the Bushites! --------------------------------------- Fri Feb 10, 2006 5:35 pm
.. I guess it's time to solve the GAS price problem! Or as a friend put it, "The outrageous profit of the oil companies." Now let's see what would bring prices down, ( and don't sit there and say it wouldn't work unless you have a better suggestion ) BTW, I will give you space to post a better way. We Could force the government officials to pay for their own gas. Then let's see if they still want those huge limo's. Just the suggestion would make most politicians gasp! We Could just refuse to pay the high prices. Yes I said REFUSE, refuse by going on strike. A strike that has never been tried in the USA. STOP driving for 36 hours. No Mall, No trip to those needed places like the Barber, the Beauty parlor, the local bar, or night club. just imagine, you might have to talk to those that you live with. No work, No school, Nothing but essential services. No miss, those nails are NOT essential. A strike that would cost State and Federal Government BILLIONS in 36 hours. To make it up they would have to ask the oil company's to share their billion dollar quarterly profit. It can't work, how would you know? It's never been tried! It's not against the law to just stay home for 36 hours. Now every one will say that People will bay gas the day before, or the day after. Correct, but the loss of revenue to the States, and Fed. cannot be made up. I do believe I read some place, "A government for the People, and by the People" now with that in mind, no one else is doing it for us.

Be aware of the past.
... In 1937 Adolph Hitler invaded Poland to reclaim the German Heartland, in effect to re-unite the German people. Don't stop there, this is not about the German people, it is said to remind those that have forgotten, It started world war II in Europe.
... Now Europe has a new threat, but first remember this one has Nukes. Russia! Be afraid, be very afraid, Putin is no less a Hitler, no less the nut with world domination in mind.
... Do not become so complacent in your McManchion or SUV that you allow this to happen.
... But what can I do? Vote you silly ass. Write letters, put up a website do anything you must to tell the powers that be THIS CONNOTE HAPPEN AGAIN!
... This is not a political comment it is however a plea to make sure that the Holocaust is not a precursor to Nuclear devastation.

========================== Or as it is better know in the political world, Democrats and Republicans. Although we have the best government in the world, it has become a fight to see what side of the isle can win. Not what is best for the Country. If the Democrats vote for it, the Republicans vote against it. And the reverse is true as well. Politicians are elected by ‘Poll’ rather than ability. Popularity is more important than knowledge. Campaign is measured more thoroughly than performance. Negativity has far out paced intention.
No longer do we vote on the best man (or woman) for the job, but we are subjected to those that can win, or run a good campaign.
We are brainwashed, and beaten into believing WE pick the candidate. We do not. They are picked for us by those that have an agenda that we may not agree with. The news media has a great deal to do with this, but the People of the USA tolerate it, Welcome it, because it is much easier than thinking for themselves.. Think I am wrong. Ask the ‘Experts’ they will be on the evening news to explain what you need to know, To tell you what was said, and adjust it so you will understand who to believe and who to ignore. No longer is it just entertainment to listen to a comedian, It seems to be where the pulse of the voters is registered. Get a laugh, Get Elected. The Joke is on US.
