I'm tired of dumb people

I'm tired of dumb people. It seems to me that there are just more and more dumb people front and center every day. I don't need to get into the whole Star Simpson thing again. You all know what she did. If you don't, read this. http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/brainiac/2007/09/boston_cracks_d.html

So, it seems dumb begets dumb. I don't think there's really any other explanation for what she did except that she's dumb. Dumb enough to be getting banged by a guy twice her age. Obviously her hippie parents ( I'm sure they struggled with other names like, Twinkle, or Light or.. oh man the colors...)

But here's where I validate my point. The following are excerpts from the Boston Herald comments on Howie Carrs and Peter Gelzinis' columns. (Please note that as a rule I don't like Gelzenis and his screaming liberalism) . Now do I need to remind anyone that she walked into one of the busiest airport terminals in the nation from which planes were hijacked on 9-11? The idiocy of some is overwhelming. A common thread I see are comments like "Its just a circuit board" and " She didn't have a hoax device, just Play - Do and a circuit board", and the feeling that the cops who had drawn down on her should have somehow known that, and known that. My return question would be , How would they know that? Are they psychic? They were acting in the best interest of all, not to protect the feelings of some nappy headed ho.

It has come to this. The government has to validate its existence by forcefully arresting kids with light-up toys and Play-Doh. What's next, I wonder. Them join Alec Baldwin & Sean Penn and move to some other country where our freedom to even contemplate this question doesn't exist.

I think the people of Boston need to stop being so paranoid... all it's done is kill 27,936 Iraqi's and 3797 US citizens. Why is this pinko putting Iraqi's first?

The Knights that Say Nikh should be called in immediately to save the citizens of Boston from such dangerous threats!!! After all, she had play-dough and ignored an adult who may have been wearing a uniform! I think this one speaks for itself.


Shame on you Peter Gelzinis! Your article would have been much more useful if you had shown what idiots they have at the Logan airport, whether the employee who panicked about this, or the state police who didn't just laugh the whole thing off. Aren't you glad the London Police didn't laugh off the nerve gas scare. Maybe the same ones you want to laugh it off did so on 9-11 and look what we got ass face. The "circuit board" (which your paper apparently decided to bury the picture of, since it is obviously not a bomb but a breadboard with LED's arranged in a "star" pattern -- I love when nerds get technical and expect the rest of us to stay with them. That's why they're nerds. the woman's name was Star), looked less like a bomb than a common laptop computer (which at least has room for explosives), perfectly fit her description as "art", and the reaction of the police (stating that they nearly shot her) shows them to be a group of scared rabbits. At a minimum, they owe her an apology, if not offering up their resignations as well for their incompetence. Dolt


So, where am I wrong here? How can we expect to protect our population if people like these won't let us? Should we go back to our pre 9-11 lassez faire attitude? I think that's impossible, don't you? Should we put our police and Public Safety employees in harms way by mandating that they meander up to a potential threat , and blithely converse with them? I can see it now... Excuse me miss, is that an explosive device you're wearing? Oh it is? Can I have a few seconds to run away?

Of course, should half of the terminal blown up, then what would the response be?

Viva Las Massachusetts

Deval Patrick has given the high sign to the State signifying his thumbs up to casino gambling. Much like everything he does, I expect that this will be much bluster and hot air before anything of consequence comes of it. Already DeMasi is condemning the idea and the anti-casino lobby is rolling up to shoot it down.

I'm not opposed to casinos. I think in moderation, a casino or two in Massachusetts would be a nice bump to the revenue stream. God know we need it.

But its not a cure all. Its not going to improve my quality of life. We seem to be so deep in the hole, that any revenues realized will simply be keeping us afloat.

20 Billion in transportation cost mismanagement is what the past quarter century have brought us. Fattened pensions, corruption and patronage are to blame. Bridges are crumbling and roads are falling apart, but toll takers still bring home 60K a year for stealing out of the cash box.

Have you ever seen a help wanted ad looking for toll takers? Ask yourself why.

Governor Gary Coleman certainly generated a lot of false hope with ' together we can' and has yet to deliver on his promises. Is this his answer? Perhaps. Is it a good one? To a point.

The problem I have is that this isn't going to improve my quality of life. The graft , corruption & patronage will continue. This will simply fuel it. A gaming commission? Please. Another nationwide search before the cousin of a state rep or prior state rep gets the gig?

There are other answers. Consolidate Mass Highway and the Turnpike authority. Get rid of the toll takers. Convert the states pension boondoggle into 401(k) plans like the rest of us have. Increase the cost sharing of heath care like we all have to pay. Make state reps & senators on par with the middle class like they were intended. Then they'll understand what we have to go through before they decide they want to pry open our wallets yet again.

Yea its all pie in the sky. None of this will ever happen because my state rep & senator aren't looking out for me. They're looking out for themselves.

But I'm OK with casinos. 4 or 40 - what difference does it make? Its just going to cost me more in the end anyway, like everything else Patrick does.

My Governor the Assh*le

This is from John Keller blog: http://wbztv.com/kellerblog regarding our impotent ,mealy mouthed, rapist loving liberal Governor Deval patrick; The Rodney Allen Rippey of Massachusetts politics and his response to his 9-11 ' tribute' remarks attributing the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington to “the failure of human beings to understand each other and to learn to love each other”. My comments are in bold and the morons aren't.

"Refusing to offer even a cursory apology to those offended by them.From the State House News Service account of the governor’s appearance today on WTKK’s Eagan and Braude Show:“Patrick sounded exasperated with the insistence of some callers in returning to his speech (read: How dare they question the great & powerful OZ!) Tuesday, which state Republican Party Chairman Peter Torkildsen ripped Wednesday. Near the top of the hour, the show's producers played an audio version of Patrick's remarks, and Braude asked him if he wanted to apologize. Patrick declined. (He hasn't been wrong yet, has he? Why should he apologize? For those of you who read the last page of a mystery first, just scoot to the bottom of the article)

He called efforts to "gin up political controversy" over his words "sad." Patrick said, "First of all, I think I was clear,(if it was clear, why are regular Joe's asking you to apologize you putz?) and I think the condemnation of the attacks on all of us is universal. (No Deval- only you feel this way) Certainly, I feel it. It was vicious. It was unjustified. And I think that any other interpretation of what I said is simply wrong." He added, "We are, I think, in this country historically a beacon of hope for people all over the world and for people to see us as other than that is a part, in my view, of a failure of human understanding and frankly( he's like Wallace Shawn in the Princess Pride- he uses that word too much.) I was taught in my church that all violent attack is a failure of human understanding." ( This means that he wasn't thinking for himself but he blames his church. Nice - standard democratic ploy. Jesus made me do it!) Later, a caller identified as Tracy told Patrick, "I am surprised that you did not take the opportunity to apologize for your statements on 9/11." Patrick replied, "I was there, I know what I said, and I was clear as possible in condemning the attacks." Another caller, Mary Ann, told Patrick, "I wonder why you're such an ineffective communicator with your remarks on 9/11." When she followed up with a more insistent question about the impression she said Patrick had left about wanting to sing "Kumbaya," and asked him to "please explain," Patrick replied flatly, "No." ( There's that arrogance again) Later, returning to his office after the radio show, Patrick was asked whose reaction caused the other reaction. He replied, "Conservatives," ( That means the people who don't want to free racists, get taxed up the ass because of your incompetence, want to protect children by not changing CORI laws, want illegal immigration to be illegal, and want the laws enforced) before being interrupted by visitors to his office.”

This is from the Herald's critique of the moron's interview http://bostonherald.com/news/regional/politics/view.bg?articleid=1031384

He later told another critical caller: “If you or anyone else heard me to say anything other than a total condemnation of terrorist attacks on 9/11 and since on the United States or on Americans, you are hearing something other than what I intend, and I am sorry for that ( I thought you weren't going to apologize you dolt) .”

So what did we learn here that we don't already know. Nothing except my puke bucket only holds a gallon and every time I listen to this disingenuous piece of flotsam, I keep thinking I need a bigger one.

No, seriously Britney....

Are you kidding me? Here's where I just don't get it. Britney Spears is just another in a long line of vacuous hot chicks with computer enhanced voices able to gyrate me to an erection. Its that simple. There have been hundreds and hundreds more are on the way. They exist in strip clubs, the local mall, McDonalds, both cable & broadcast TV... you name it.

Is she so special that she deserves the scrutiny shes getting? Hello?? Paris Hilton ???

Seriously. I Think I'm one of millions of men who would tap her even though she ' let herself go'. She's still better looking than lots of broads. I'd fire it right in there.

Do I care if she can sing? No. Do I care if she can dance? No. is she a role model for me? No , but of she is for you, you need help. Is she launching rockets or curing cancer? No. Does she have nice boobies and a decent ass and can I picture her doing things to me that are illegal in 7 states? Yea Baby!! That's all I need from her. If she's got any other outstanding qualifications to share the planet with me, I missed them. Come on guys... tell me you wouldn't hit this? Get real. And if not her, there's another one coming down the pike in a few minutes... gee I hope Giselle looses the baby weight... or Rhianna let me under her um - ba - rella, ella , ella , ella, hey hey.... Oh lord I'm slaying myself.....

Coffee Shower

This morning, after a horrendous commute, I got out of the truck and put my coffee cup on top of the roof so I could reach into the passenger seat and grab my briefcase.

Well, it seems the slant of the roof was too much for this styrofoamic receptacle. It tipped over at the exact second my back was under it and I was the recipient of a hot coffee shower. The tragedy of this embarrassing incident is its not lawsuit worthy. I am a victim of my own stupidity.

What a shitty way to start my Monday.

Love & Chicken

I love my wife dearly. I always have. But after 15 years of marriage there are some things that should be innate in her knowledge. For instance, I know for a fact that at least 2 times a week I will find one of those little paper maxi pad strips in the bed. It will happen. I know it will happen and I have geared my reaction to it over the years as to not make it the huge issue I made it the first 600 times it happens.

That's what love and marriage are all about. Understanding each other and knowing what or how the other will react.

Anyway, last night I called the Mrs at home and asked what was for dinner. Chicken, I was told. Great I thought and that was that.

So I go home and look in the oven. What do I see? Hot wings. They're for our son, 12 years old and experiencing a cornucopia of new likes in the food category. Great. I'm very excited that my boy is moving out of the Mac & Cheese and Grilled Cheese sandwich phase. Eating chicken wings - protein- not bad for him, OK.

But where was my dinner? We've been married 15 years, dated for 5 and not once in those 2 decades has she ever seen me eat anything hot or spicy as a meal. Yes, I've tried stuff, but my reaction is a sweaty miserable complaining one, so as a result, I won't eat spicy or hot food. I don't even like yellow mustard.

I believed I had been the victim of the Bait & Switch. I was told one thing and I got another. I had been hosed.

Was I wrong to be upset? No. Look, my wife's not shackled to the stove. She works & brings up the kids, blah blah blah. But, when she says she's putting the meal on the table, that's what I'm expecting. Her cooking skills are the topic of another post someday.

So I ask the Queen, what are we having? She looks at me like I just crawled out of the primordial ooze, and then replies- Tuna Sandwiches.

Now, you tell me. If you're told you're getting a nice chicken dinner, then come home and get a cold Tuna Sandwich, how would you react?

Oh, by the way - I asked for onions in the tuna and was told no f'in way.

So, I was pissed. Deservedly so, I believed. Wouldn't you be?

After a few barbs about my hosing I was told pretty much to F off. And that's OK. Because I love my wife and know it was in jest and it relates to the first part of my post. And tonight I'm making myself some chicken, because my wife's going to her part time job that she took to keep us living in the style in which we've become accustomed. So in the big picture, tuna ain't so bad.

I just would have liked non spicy chicken, like I was promised.
