Barack Obama- The Godzilla Sized Deval Patrick



The Rodney Allen Rippey of Massachusetts Politics known as our alleged Governor Deval Patrick is a piker compared to the con man that white liberal guilt catapulted into the oval office.

No experience- super size me

Idiotic liberal initiatives- super size me

Yes we can- super size me

If you live in Massachusetts and understand ANYTHING about what kind of idiot we elected for Governor, you should have no problem knowing that Barack Obama is just a Godzilla sized Deval Patrick and my wallet is Tokyo. I only wish I could evacuate.

How can you not love Hef?


The older I get, the older Hef gets. He's not looking any the better for wear either. Of course neither am I.


An yet look what Hef's hitting the sack with in his close to 80th year on the planet. What did I do wrong?




Apology NOT Accepted

When did we get to the point in our society where apologizing and promising to do better gets you off the hook?

Just pick a problem , from Fannie & Freddie to Bernie Mahdoff to the Big Dig to our inept Governor, the Rodney Allen Rippey of Massachusetts politics Deval Patrick. All classic cases of closing the barn door after the horse has bolted.

Lets look as some prime examples from SEC testimony on oversight of Bernard Madoff's investment firm.

Red flags were raised to the Securities and Exchange Commission over a decade but weren't pursued, and Republican and Democratic House members said that reflected deep, systemic problems at the market watchdog agency. READ- We ignored the problem until it became a bigger problem.

The SEC's internal watchdog, Inspector General H. David Kotz, said he is so concerned about the agency's failure to uncover Madoff's alleged Ponzi scheme that he is expanding the inquiry called for last month by SEC Chairman Christopher Cox. Cox had pushed the blame squarely onto the SEC's career staff for the failure to detect what Madoff was doing. And why is he concerned now? Because his ass in on the line. This is a joke.


It appears that the complaints against Madoff's operations by securities industry executive Harry Markopolos and others were "brought to the right place" within the SEC, Kotz said, and to enough people that action could have been taken. What am I paying taxes for if problems like this get dropped in the laps of ' experts' and get ignored?

This whole thing makes me sick.

Be Happy About Tax Increases? Go F Yourself.

If you live in Massachusetts, you must live under a rock if you don't know that the state is under a huge debt load and the corruptocrats on Beacon Hill are looking under every rock they can find to screw the money out of the taxpayer.

Of course, we're talking higher taxes. An increase in the income tax and to offset the gianormous debt of the Big Dig thats a result of gross mismanagement and malfeasance , toll increases.

Lets set aside for now that I believe that the FBI should be focusing their anti corruption efforts on Big Dig machinations and not chumps like Chuck Turner. That's a topic for another day.

I am actually reading opinions by some stating how happy I should be that the gas tax will be instated in Massachusetts.

Ed Moscovitch is president of Cape Ann Economics. He writes this little ditty in the Boston herald Op Ed section. I've highlighted the stupidest part of his diatribe.


Dear Gov. Patrick,
The commonwealth’s transportation system is falling apart. Transportation maintenance needs exceed likely revenues by over $15 billion; we have 550 structurally deficient bridges. Instead of raising taxes to pay for the
Big Dig and related transit projects, your predecessors dumped its debt service on the Turnpike Authority and the MBTA; both of these agencies are now on the brink of bankruptcy. We’re short-changing maintenance on the Big Dig by 90 percent.
Sky-high gas prices last summer have led to an increase in T ridership that will serve us well when prices inevitably go back up. Absent dramatic action, a combination of higher fares and poorer service will put many of those riders back on those same roads we can’t afford to maintain.

Last week I hit a deep pothole in the center lane on I-95 near Attleboro. At 65 mph, there was no swerving, and out went my tire. The cost to replace it is far more than any increase in gas taxes! I was the second driver in 10 minutes to lose a tire; the AAA man told me he’d changed seven flats at that spot the previous evening and notified Mass Highway. And yet, 12 hours later, at the height of the morning rush hour, nothing had been done. If it isn’t safe to drive at legal speeds down our interstates or over our bridges, Massachusetts - and its economy - will quite literally grind to a halt.


Absent any other funding source, the Turnpike board proposes doubling tolls on the Harbor tunnels and the Boston extension. This is flagrantly unfair; why should East Boston residents pay so much to support a road through downtown that mainly benefits commuters from the South Shore and the Route 93 corridor, who pay no tolls at all? And it won’t bring in the predicted revenues; at these prices many people will avoid the Pike and the tunnels.

It’s hard to believe that we’ve let the price of gasoline fall from $4.25 to $1.75 and not raised the gas tax. Let’s not wait until the price begins to rise; work out an agreement with the speaker and Senate president this week, call a major press conference, lay out the dimensions of the crisis, and demand that the Legislature act by mid-January.
Propose an increase of 25 cents; that’s still peanuts in the face of a $2.50 drop in gas prices. Relate the tax to the price of gas - when the price someday goes back up, the tax should go up with it. The anger at 25 cents will be no worse than at 5 cents, but an increase this large will give you enough money to fund half of the deferred maintenance, cover the Big Dig-related debt of the Turnpike and the T, avoid the proposed toll increases, and give cities and towns a modest increase in road funds.


Link this increase to key efficiency changes. With workers allowed to retire at age 43, T pensions are far more generous than those in the private sector. In return for increased state road money, require cities and towns to adopt the sensible (and politically courageous) guidelines for limiting police details that you’ve set for state projects.

Of course, some people will be angry at you for proposing a tax increase. But many of us will be angry if you continue to jeopardize our safety - and our economy - by spending too little. In the long run, a decisive, well-argued case for action may well enhance your political standing.
If you make a compelling case you’ll find legislative and business support. But you’re the governor; it can’t happen unless you step out and lead. You ran for the job and won it; now’s the time we need you!


So, what this hole is saying is that he can't believe the price of gas made its proper adjustment without tacking a tax on it. Forget doing anything intelligent, like level funding, combining agencies, telling the unions to F themselves with mandated pay raises, just jump straight into additional taxes.

Here's the thing about a gas tax. Its a per gallon tax, so no matter how high or low the price goes, its always there. Remember when gas was 4.00 a gallon and we wanted to suspend it? Where are those folks now? What happens if gas goes back up. OPEC is trying to inflate the cost of a barrel of oil by cutting production. They've done it twice in as many months. Then where are we? Getting drilled in the can yet again.

I work for a company on the brink of collapse. Guess what we did?

1) Cut Executive pay & benefit programs
2) Sorry, no raises this year
3) Unprofitable part of the company? Sorry, we're closing it to save money
4) Can we sell this part of the Company off or privatize it?
5) Sorry, but this year no bonus
6) Duplicity means we're paying the different folks to do the same job. One of you needs to go

Get the point? My wallet is not an endless supply of money for your indulgence. Its time to start running this state like a business, and not a playground.

It must hurt to be gay

Today I realized how agonizingly painful it must be to be gay. Today I had my annual physical and my Dr. snapped on the glove. Remember Fletch? "Using the whole hand there Doc?". I understand that joke a lot better.

Now, this isn't the first time I have undergone this discomfort. Annually I ask to skip it, and annually I get told no, its for your own good.

But its the first time I have thought about how this is similar to the method of affirmation of love for male ' couples'. Ouch. Seriously. How is pleasure derived from this? I got none.

Now, I believe pleasure is a non-gender related feeling. For instance, kissing. Blindfolded, I bet if I was kissing another guy ( easy Liberace!) I might not be able to tell the difference. Or neck nibbling, or even oral sex. Remember, blindfolded.

But, get to some insertion in the hinder land, and I don't CARE if its a guy or a girl... Just Stop! It Hurts!. Nerve endings are nerve endings and they send that pain message to the brain. And the brain says knock it off.

It defies reasonable thought that this is pleasurable. I guess love does conquer all, but I love my wife too, and if she comes at me with a lubed up cucumber, the answer is still no.

2009 begins the steep upward climb

Did you know gas was 1.62 a gallon. Home heating oil is almost .99 a gallon? The price of a barrel of oil is 45 bucks?

Help me out with this. When some shmoe who works at Goldman Sachs says around a mouthful of bologna sandwich that he thinks the price of oil can go as high as 200.00 5 months ago, the price skyrockets. Soap operas are interrupted to announce gas has gone to 4.01 a gallon. Everyone is spending their food money on gas an oil. The sky is falling.

Well, now doesn't it make sense that there's more flexible income? Milk is cheaper , which is my other guideline to the economy. Its costing less to deliver product, so prices are slowly declining. How come I don't hear as much about that?

When the Obama-Messiah takes over in January he's going to roll out a GIANT stimulus package. Its behind the auspices of that when you'll start hearing the good news again. How low prices have dropped. How people are starting to creep back into stores. That retail sales are on the rise.

The media that plopped his unprepared ass into the White House will now need to do everything they can to prove themselves right. And the age of good news and happy feelings will begin the day he takes office.

A Shoe? Seriously, Who Throws A Shoe?



Yes, reminiscent of Austin Powers Random Task, President Bush was assaulted with a pair of Hush Puppies in a recent visit to Iraq.


Now, I'm just going to say this: What the hell is wrong with these people? We topple thier genocidal dictator, give them the opportunity to bring Democracy to thier country, let them develop thier own government, help them get rid of a political system which is about as close to a barrom brawl as anything else and this is the thanks we get?




Look, agree with the reasons for the incursion or not, we did the right thing. Shot, when Clinton went after Slobidan Milosivitch, in Bosnia half of Congress wanted to swallow his seed. We were making a great humanitarian effort. Well, didn't we do the same when Hussein was dangling from a rope? And there was no UN interference, we let Iraqi justice take it course.
I have been a Bush supporter from the beginning. Yes the war has gone on too long , but a mistake? No.
Failed economic policies. Look to Rest Area Commando Barney Frank to see where we truly failed. And remember this: Cash in my pocket doesn't stimulate the economy. Democrats want to impose taxes on the wealthy and businesses. Well, where to you think the money to pay these taxes are coming from- job cuts or increased prices. Leave businesses alone. Big or small, keep you dirty democrat hands off of them. I miss Ronald Regan.
Back to the shoe throwing towel head. He has Bush to thank for his life. If this was Hussein, he'd have been shot on sight. Think about that you stank bastard.




Ummm yea... umm I forgot it?

Yes, its been a year since I've posted anything to my blog. Thats kind of surprising since I have an opinion on everything. So, that being said, I am putting finger to keyboard again and will attempt to pick up the torch.
