Random thoughts #12

Just sayin.

"Kenny face it. Girls don't want to eat Poptarts for dinner every night." Eric Cartman.

Why do liberals hate Christianity? Why do they respect Islam so much? Think about it. Islam says that you can't have an image of their pedophile prophet Muhammad. Not one newspaper in this country would even consider putting an image in their paper. Not one! Yet they ridicule all Christian faiths. If you believe in God, you are a Christian extremist (unless you are an abortion supporting Democrat). They respect all aspects of Islamic faith and defend a crucifix in urine as art. The funny thing is this: if America came under Islamic rule they would all be killed for their belief that there is no God. Say what you want about Moslems, they at least have a faith and consistent belief system which is something that liberals don't have.

Dead Kennedy was buried today and had his service at a Catholic church. Ironic isn't it? A man who was the biggest supporter in the Senate of the killing of the unborn still thought he was a "good Catholic". As a baptized Catholic I'm offended by this. My last lengthy paragraph about the media's assault on Christianity is my next point. The MSM is making a big deal about him being a Catholic and which church was having his service. I haven't been to Mass in five years and I'm a better Catholic than he ever THOUGHT of being. Burn in hell you worthless puke!

Are all women crazy? Or just the one's I find attractive?

I'm watching the Little League World Series (LLWS). I'm 5'8". I wasn't 5' until I was 16. How in the hell can you be 5' 11" and 12 years old? When I was 12, the big kids were 4' 10".

Seinfeld was a great sitcom. Kramer was funny but Costanza was the best character on the show. Acting is overrated as a profession, it's just pretending to be something you aren't and I can do that, but Jason Alexander has more talent in his little finger than Michael Richards could ever dream of having. " You know Jerry, it isn't a lie if you think it's the truth." I think that Barack Obama lives by that credo.

The Budweiser Clydesdales are cool.

California is going to represent the U.S. in the LLWS. I guess I'll root for them but I fucking hate California. California, New York and Massachusetts could all evaporate and we would be just fine. Trust me on this. California can leave behind the Reagan library.

Speaking of Reagan. There is an audio book entitled "Reagan in his own voice". It's a compilation of his radio shows from the 1970's. The man was a visionary. Check it out from your local library. You won't be disappointed.

I don't know how Chef Troll found my bullshit blog but it's made me a better blogger. I'm not on his level but I'm trying. Kym, Pamokc, and Moi set a high standard as well. Read them. Follow them. Comment on their posts. Expand your horizons. Mute Mondays are the bomb! It's hard for me to be mute. Really. Mute and me don't collide in the same sentence. Mute Mondays were the inspiration for Tuesday Tunes. I'm not consistent on them. I need guest deejays. Tell your friends.

My dad was a bartender and told my brother Bill and me that if we couldn't be happy drinking to not do it at all. We are both happy. Bill is a funny sumbitch. Add a little booze to that and hang onto your belly. It's what we do on the Hi-Line.

Brent Musburger is announcing the LLWS. Brent is a Montanan. From Billings. I hate him. Over dramatic and a dipshit to boot. I wish I had a baritone voice. I would be doing Monday Night Football. And the World Series. I'd bring a much needed panache to the booth along with the fact that I wouldn't be afraid to say that everyone in the NFL is on steroids. I'm sure that would get be some great rapport with guys in the NFL. They would really dig it.

14 is the number for songs on the playlist. Kym only gave me 11 but I let it slide. The first person to tell me why 14 is the number gets to pick the next playlist. Prodigy, you as usual, can't play.

I wish business would pick up. My boss is the hardest working man I have ever known. He deserves a break and more good times. I have a nice house, four-wheelers, a camper and lots of money in the bank and it's all because he gave me a shot and trusted me. Wish him well. We have a lot of equipment sitting and looking pretty but that doesn't pay the bills.

Take care,

Chip

TGIF Baby

OK, I'm not quite youtube literate yet, but will try to figure out how to put it up here like the cool bloggers (Moi and Troll) until then click here for a great clip from the 70's cult classic Thank God Its Friday.

It makes me long for the sunny slopes of The Prairie.

DANCING!!! EVERYTHING ELSE IS BULLSHIT!!!

Letter to the editor #3

This letter appeared in the local rag this past Monday. The mental midget who wrote it is a frequent contributor in this category. It's funny how liberals have so much time to write so many letters. My job gets in my way. My comments are in black.


Rich Sherlock’s letter proclaiming that health care reform is not a moral decision amply demonstrates the “let them eat cake” moral bankruptcy of right-wing ideologues in the health care debate. No not really Carl. Health care is a commodity, thus cannot be "morally" provided.

Mr. Sherlock proclaims that only those who can afford health care deserve it. He made no such claim. This is ironic. The right has charged that under a system of “socialized medicine,” the elderly will be left to die, a charge that has been completely discredited. Uh, it hasn't been discredited. If you've read the bill the provisions concerning the elderly are quite vague in this regard. But, Obama's Chief-of-Staff's brother who is a Dr. and advising the President, strongly advocates such a system so make your own decisions. However, if Mr. Sherlock’s attitudes are any indication, the right has no problem with people suffering extreme economic hardship or being denied access to medical care simply because they cannot pay for it. Again, nowhere it Sherlock's letter does he advocate denying health care. It would seem that they have no problem either with medical-related bankruptcy or even that someone may die because they cannot pay for the care they desperately need to receive. I grow weary of this paragraph.

Mr. Sherlock claims that having others pay for your health care is wrong. It is if you could have paid for it yourself but made other choices instead. Taken to its logical conclusion, this argument proposes the abolition of even private health insurance, since everyone who pays premiums is “paying for the health care of others.” Could you show some evidence for this dillweed? What's that? You can't unless you count Medicare and Medicaid then yes. You could also make the argument that if you have insurance and never use it your premiums are helping pay for claims of others but that's why its called INSURANCE. However, the private health insurance industry has delivered a bad product. My provider is great and I can recommend you if you would like. There might be a better product in another state but because of guys like Sr. Dead Kennedy and our own stuttering moron of a Senator Max we can't buy products from another state. Contrary to Mr. Sherlock’s opinion, they do not profit by delivering good service, they profit by denying or dropping coverage to the people who need it the most. Again, lets fix that part of the industry. However, I would like to point out that if you get a DUI, your car insurance will go up or you will get dropped. This is because you are a high risk. There are providers though who will continue to insure you. You just pay more in premiums. If you are continually getting sick, your chances of getting dropped increase. However, just like in the auto business, there would probably be an insurance provider who would take on high risk patients if only your beloved government would let them. There is one word for taking people’s money, turning a profit, and failing to deliver — fraud. = Barack Obama

Mr. Sherlock argues governments cannot be moral, only individuals. Does this mean governments are absolved of any moral restraint and are free to murder or steal? Ah, the old liberal tactic of extreme absurdity. Governments don't have feelings thus they cannot be moral. Also, morality is individual. I believe abortion is immoral but I'm sure you don't. Mr. Sherlock's strong objection is to having the government decide what is moral for all of us. Honestly, this guy has to be the product of our public education system. Either that or he went to some Ivy league school where they hand out A's like Halloween candy. This is absurd. Governments, like individuals, have moral obligations, including providing for the general welfare of the people. The general welfare does not include health care, besides that its "promote the general welfare" not provide. Maybe if you read the Constitution once in your fucking life, you'd know what it says.

I call upon our nation and leaders to resist these immoral attitudes and carry out health care reform that truly serves justice. That's what we all want Carl. That's what we all want.

It's funny. I read Carl's letter than I went back and found the letter to which he was referring and reread it. Of the two of us, Carl and me, it would appear that the only one who read the letter is me. Mr. Sherlock said it best in the last line of his letter "There is nothing moral about government forcing people to pay for other people's health care."

Top Chef week 2

Had a work call come in right as the show was starting so I only know that Mike B wins the Quickfire and the 15 large. As noted by Chef Troll last week the amount of people with tattoos this season is very high. We aren't talking about "I love Suzy" on a bicep or a rose pedal above the pantie line but full on arm sleeves, wrap around neck gear and cleavage art from armpit to armpit. And that's just the chicks.

I have a tattoo. A small one on my left ankle of the Cincinnati Reds. Ralph has the Boston Red Sox in the same place as does Jimmy with the St. Louis Cardinals. You can see mine if you're in the shower with me (are you reading this Padma?) or when I'm golfing and that's about it.

Tonight's challenge is a men vs. women affair. Men cooking for a bachelorette party and women for a bachelor party. Chefs are cooking and my feeling is that the women will lose this battle. It's pretty gay actually. Speaking of gay, Ashley is making a political statement about how hard this competition is for her because she is gay and can't get married. Just shut up and cook. I want my ex-wife to weigh 400 pounds and I'm not going to get my way. Life's hard. Deal with it. I'm starting to think that Ashley is gone already. She's losing her focus.

Holy shit! Preeti just said that she is gay. I didn't totally see this coming and I'm not overly surprised but kind of bummed. She's a nice enough looking gal who just needs to grow her hair out. My gaydar should have went off last week when she said her vice was a "Makers Mark Manhattan". Not a lot of "ladies" drink bourbon.

Ashley is still bitching about not being able to get married. The sooner her whiny ass is gone the better. Padma just showed up. The gals from the bachelorette party are getting into bikinis. Please, oh please, let Padma get into a bikini. C'mon God, You know I don't ask for much.

After watching all the food sampling, I'm thinking that the men are on the spot and that one of them will be gone. Afterall, a woman went home last week and Bravo has to keep it even.

A U2 commercial is on about Blackberries. God, I hate Bono. I just want to bitch slap those fucking glasses off his face, grab him by the throat and just start bashing his face. Then I'd, oh, commercial is over.

Padma is calling four men to the judges tables so they are the winners. Bryan is the overall winner. So I'm wrong about a man going home. That doesn't happen very often. His brother won the Quickfire. I can't wait for one of them to go home. Sick of the the whole brother thing already and it's only week two. By the way, if you think its a mere coincidence that they are on the same season, you are retarded.

Pierced lips Jessie is crying as gets her dish raked over the coals. Eve is next. She sounds like JarJar Binks when she talks. "Mesa think my disha gooda". I know a few people from Michigan and they talk pretty normal but its almost as if English is a second language for her. Preeti is holding her own against the judges and Ashley is not looking so good. Making two dishes probably wasn't her bet move. It's going to be a tough call but I'm changing my prediction to Jessie.

Eve is hasta la vista baby! Wow, twice in one episode that I erred in my judgement. I'd better check my bible to make sure that isn't on of the signs of the Apocalypse. Eve takes it like a champ though. No whining, a smile on her face and wishes the best to everyone. If I were Jessie or Ashley, I would spend as much time on The Strip as I could because neither of them is long for this competition. Padma doesn't get naked or even in a bikini. Sigh. Maybe next week.

Every day is casual Friday in the Obama Whitehouse

On Monday, the current President announced he would keep the current head of the Fed for another four years. He made the announcement and held a press conference. Both Barry and Ben look like they just finished their fourth martini's, threw on a jacket and decided to speak to the press.

From Yahoo! " "Both he and Bernanke sported the open-collar look." Or as it's more commonly known, I'm a lazy ass. Honestly, how far are we from seeing the President at a press conference in zubaz and a t-shirt with a pack of PallMall menthols rolled up in his sleeve? I'm guessing Christmas.

Wednesday Rock Oout

Well its funny that if you call someone out, they can respond with a first class effort. So Kym responded with this this. It's different but the playlist needed some heat and this one definately has it.

Some strong language in a couple of songs, but nothing you haven't read on this site. It will be a great way to start hump day.

Tuesday Tunes 8/25/09

I haven't done a playlist for a while now. I did have a contest winner a few weeks ago who hasn't sent me anything yet. I'm not going to say any names but you can check out her great blog here.

I was going to make a list of great songs from 1988. That's the year I left the Center of the Universe to begin my academic career at the greatest institution of higher learning west of the Mississippi. I began to peruse top 100 lists from that year and quickly realized one thing, 1988 sucked for music. I try for a minimum of 12 songs but my target number is 14. I had looked at the top 50 and had written three down. THREE!! And one of those was a U2 song so you know how desperate I was.

I quickly let the creative juices start flowing, as much of them as you need when you have the world wide interweb at your disposal and went "hmmm, how about songs with the word 'night' in the title" and whalah today's playlist was born. Actually a pretty good compilation if I don't mind saying so myself. You'll notice that there are no Eagles songs on this list yet again. Was that intentional I wonder? Bob Seger and the BeeGees are both on here twice, yet the Eagles don't make the list. It would appear that there is some sort of conspiracy to keep them from being heard. Some mischief may be afoot to deny the Eagles some playing time.

Its pretty simple really. If you want to hear the Eagles, tune into any FM station that plays music from 1988 and earlier and you will enough to make you puke. As far as my playlists are concerned, well the only way they will get air time is if a certain contest winner puts them on there and at the rate that's going, that won't happen.

Anyway, enjoy this and I'll try not to wait so long til the next one.
