Drunk Dialing

This day's gone by, the sun is setting in the west,

It's just another day, it's just another test.

As lightness dims and the darkness falls,

The voices of depression begin their calls.

Sitting in the darkness, while watching time pass,

The time comes to add ice cubes to a tall glass.

Fill the glass straight with old Jack Daniel's Number 7,

Sip it real quick, hope I get a piece of heaven.

Grab the remote and watch the news on the T. V.,

I wonder when there will be something good I will see.

Nothing but bad news, which calls for another tall Jack,

This time around, I better add a beer back.

No matter what the channel is that I do click,

I can't stop hearing the voice of a raving lunatic.

Listen to the shouts, "I'll bury you in the flower bed,"

Guess it's time for me to have a tall Johnny Walker Red.

Woman, you better do what I say because I'm running your life,

I even knocked you up while still married to my wife.

Oh, what a tramp, it's always the woman's fault,

And on that note, it's time to drink a 40 malt.

Who the hell do you think you are having you breasts enlarged?

I warn you to my credit card they better not have been charged.

They're just too big, you have done such a sin,

Time for me to have a Tonic and Gin.

There you are wearing those real tight tops,

Just prancing down the street, wanting to be checked out by the boobies cops.

Oh ya, baby, listen to me cause I'm screaming like a lark,

Now straight out of the bottle, I'm drinking my Makers Mark.

I'll beat you as much as I want, even run you over with my car,

Nothing will happen to me, I'm Mel Gibson, a big movie star.

Do You Pay To Get Stimulated?



Here in Las Vegas these type of signs are all over the place and then there are rows of orange cones as if there might be work taking place.

For example these signs tell you;

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act -- better known as the stimulus bill -- has funded a highway project in local neighborhoods.

Makes you feel warm and fuzzy all over doesn't it?

I guess they feel we are too stupid to recognize road work when we see it.

What do orange triangle signs that say CONSTRUCTION ZONE or ROAD WORK AHEAD mean hmmmmmmm I wonder.

But alas State governments are estimated to be using millions of dollars to put up the signs that say what a great job they are doing spending money.

I guess they feel we are too stupid to recognize them spending money they don't have.

Some examples:

Washington, D.C., the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority spent $10,000 for a single 10-by-11-foot sign displayed at a highway project, advertising that the $15 million in stimulus funds the District received were provided by the stimulus.

Illinois spent about $650,000 during the last 14 months for 950 signs to be placed on 850 highway projects.

Pennsylvania spent $157,477 of the $1 billion in stimulus funds it received.

Here in Nevada who knows how much was spent but those signs are everywhere.

Harry Reid wants you to know he knows how to spend your money and for those American people that don't agree with Harry, he has a clear message for you.



I guess that ought to get you stimulated.

Stock Market Tip

For all my readers out there who's 401 k's have taken a hit on the stock market I have a hot stock tip for you.

Take every cent you can get your hands on and buy stock in Kool - aid!

Yes you read that right Kool - Aid.

Why you ask?

Simple it seems as if there is a large percentage of the American public that is so addicted to Kool - Aid they are swallowing it as fast as they can.

Here's an example of what causes one to gulp their Kool -Aid;

NASA Chief: Next Frontier Better Relations With Muslim World

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in a recent interview that his "foremost" mission as the head of America's space exploration agency is to improve relations with the Muslim world."

Though international diplomacy would seem well outside NASA's orbit, Bolden said in an interview with Al Jazeera that strengthening those ties was among the top tasks President Obama assigned him.

He said better interaction with the Muslim world would ultimately advance space travel.

We are getting out of the space business and into better interaction with the Muslim world and are we keeping the same budget?

Of my huge numbers of readers out there I'll bet most of you were not aware of NASA'S new direction.

If NASA and President Obama want to interact with the Muslim's and show the their contributions to flying, they just need to show the Muslim's films of New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. on
9/11/2001.

Who's Racist?

So as you all know by now our Federal Government is suing the State of Arizona over their immigration law instead of securing all our borders.

Maybe instead of suing Arizona they might want to see how California secures problem areas.

Fingerprints Now Required At Poway Skate Park.

At the Poway Skate Park, surveillance cameras capture the every move of every visitor. Additionally, motion detectors are also present and a wrought iron fence surrounds the park.

Up until 6 p.m. Friday, skaters could simply walk right through and pretty much do whatever they want.

After 6 p.m., however, a fingerprint scan will be required in order to enter the skate park. Skaters will have to register their fingerprints and have a photo taken in advance.

City officials said the new security measure will allow law enforcement to determine who was at the park if something were to happen there.

The city also said the added security measure is an effort to stop an increase in vandalism, drug use and break ins that have plagued the park for the last five years.

"This is a city park; it has to be returned to the citizens. We want kids in here, we want adults in here, we want a secure, safe environment; this is not a free-for-all," said Poway City Councilman Jim Cunningham.

Wow that sounds just like what the people of Arizona have been saying but they are called racist!!


Speaking of Racist;

How many of you are aware of the new "tan tax" which took effect last week?

Get this there is a 10 percent surcharge on the use of ultraviolet tanning beds.
.
This my friends is racist because patrons of tanning salons are almost exclusively white.

I know the new "politically correct" police want to make up the rules that say white people are the racist but where I come from a person of color can be a racist too.

Name Game

Nevada: Way out in the land of the setting sun, where a man or a woman can still pack a gun.

Where the wild wind blows from the desert to the hills, it still is the
place for a great amount of thrills.

The Wild Wild West set from old ghost towns, on to one horse towns,
made up of sagebrush sounds.

Courting counties where it's legal to get laid, to the glitz and glam
casinos where dreams can be made.

There are cities with dark and smoky backrooms, which have never seen the working end of any brooms.

A city’s motto of "What happens here stays here,” holds ninety-nine
cent shrimp cocktails and dollar beer.

Home to famous people we’ve come to know by one name, Sinatra, Charo,Liberace and Liza all came.

Siegfried, Roy, Elvis, Cher, Prince, and the beautiful Pink, it’s quite
an impressive list, don't you think?

I gave it some thought and as best as I recall, we will now have the
most famous one name of them all.

A name dropping son seeking power and glory, we now have a man running who wants to be called Rory.

Rory doesn't want you to know the man that planted his seed is none
other than his dad, Harry Reid.

Now to his son the message Harry did send, Rory get
elected Governor, then tax and spend.

Common Sense Lost In Nevada

OK we here in Nevada no issues that our state legislators need to worry about.

Let's see the states income is down due to 14% unemployment, foreclosures are the highest in the nation, and visitor volume is down.

So since we seem to be in such great shape our legislators are involved in drawing up some real important bills.

Legislators seek bill requiring tire pressure checks

State legislators agreed Tuesday to draw up a bill to require auto repair shops, smog stations and oil change businesses to check the air pressure in their customers' tires.
Now that is probably one of the major things to consider since I guess the state budget is not an issue.

Talking points:
"It's good for safety, and it saves gas and reduces air pollution.

"People never think of it," people with low tire pressure sometimes are involved in accidents that kill innocent people in other vehicles.

"We move from winter to snow and the tire pressure goes up and down. The service station people can come in (at the 2011 session) and say what it would cost and if it is a burden," (Of course service stations are now self serve).

Oil change businesses sometimes check air pressure as part of their service, it is not a practice with all repair and smog shops.

Under normal driving conditions, a vehicle loses 1 to 2 pounds of pressure per month.

Under inflated tires reduce a driver's ability to control a vehicle against skidding, blowouts and other tire failures.

I know I will sleep better at night knowing the drunk drivers on our roads have properly inflated tires.

Welcome To The Kool - Aid Corner

So it's only been 72 days since the oil spill in the Gulf so what's all the commotion? Gees what do you people want from our President?

President Obama A.K.A. Robin Hood and his band of merry men had to wait until the oil hit the beaches before doing anything more than telling B.P. they were going to put a boot on their throat and also kick their ass. Good sound bites!!!!

This may come as a surprise to you but this is not the only underwater well in the world that is leaking, the only difference is there are skimmer ships in Dubai able to keep the oil from reaching their beaches.

As I stated before; The Dutch offered to supply 4 oil skimmers. Each system will collect 5,000 tons of oil each day. One ton of oil is about 7.3 barrels. 5,000 tons per day is 36,500 barrels per day. 4 skimmers have a capacity of 146,000 barrels per day. That is much greater than the high end estimate of the leak.

Now at day 72 this just in;
US accepts international assistance in dealing with massive oil spill in Gulf of Mexico. The United States is accepting help from 12 countries and international organizations in dealing with the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

But wait did you know this? More than 30 countries and international organizations have offered to help with the spill. The State Department hasn't indicated why some offers have been accepted and others have not.

So just when will the help arrive? The State Department said in a statement Tuesday that the U.S. is working out the particulars of the help that's been accepted.

The identities of all 12 countries and international organizations were not immediately announced. One country was cited in the State Department statement -- Japan, which is providing two high-speed skimmers and fire containment boom.

This help could run in to trouble though just like Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal had with his homegrown idea that seemed to be effective at collecting the thick gunk.

What trouble? Well the Coast Guard Ordered Barges to Stop. Why? The Coast Guard needed to confirm that there were fire extinguishers and life vests on board, and then it had trouble contacting the people who built the barges.

Gov. Bobby Jindal spent a week and half fighting to get working barges to begin vacuuming crude oil out of his state's oil-soaked waters.

I wonder if who built the barges had anything to do with the Jones Act which prohibits foreign ships from working in our waters?

But I degrees, you want to know the real reason why President Obama A.K.A. Robin Hood and his band of merry men had to wait until the oil hit the beaches before doing anything.

My simple answer is, Obama or one of his merry men had dinner at one of Buba Gumps seafood restaurants and ordered a shrimp dinner which cost $17.95. From the price of that dinner they determined the shrimp boats that harvested the shrimp made to much money when they sold the shrimp and that they should share their wealth.

Allowing the oil to decimate the shrimp beds would mean the shrimp boats would be idle and the restaurants would have to import the shrimp from a foreign country at a lower cost.

Makes perfect sense don't you think?

I have to go now and drink another glass of that Kool - Aid.
