Another Piece Of My Mind

Here are a few odds and ends about some things that have been on my mind lately. I have also tossed in some observations that I have had that maybe you haven't had. So let's get started, shall we?

Some of you may know that there had been some talk about how our government might tax soft drinks. Another sin tax like the cigarette taxes. The spiel this time was that the consumption of soft drinks such as Coke and Pepsi contributes to obesity and thus costs us dearly in the form of higher health care costs. The specific problem was said to be diabetes and the culprit is sugar. Furthermore, they tossed in the word "children".........you know.......as in "childhood obesity" and "it's for the children". I followed the story for several months now wondering if in fact they would actually shove a new tax down our throats in the form of the Soda Tax. Not much had been mentioned in the media about it.........it kinda disappeared............nobody was saying how it was coming along..................until yesterday. Well...............not really yesterday. Yesterday, it was all over the news that drinking soft drinks "causes cancer of the pancreas". Huh?...........are you kidding me?..........I have been drinking sodas forever now and they are just now saying this?

I ain't buying it, folks. This is bullshit. Hmmmmmm..........something is odd about this "news" story..........so I did a little research. Why now?...........why are they spreading this "major discovery" now? I did a Google search for information about the proposed Soda Tax to see what was being said about it lately. I discovered that the Soda Tax was defeated in committee by lobbyists for the soft drink industry as well as other industries that are heavily related to the consumption and purchase of sodas. I think this is fantastic news..........the soda tax ain't got a chance...................right?

Wrong. When things do not go the politicians way, or when things aren't happening the way the politicians want it......well........they have to demonize things and toss in the word "children" and then proceed to incite the big scare tactic to lure common people into actually agreeing to be taxed to death. The group of thugs that were and are behind the proposed soda tax have been consorting and scheming and have now tossed the big fear tactic upon us.......thus the news story that soft drinks cause pancreatic cancer. I can see it coming now................they might even suggest that the consumption of Coke and Pepsi is the cause of excessive gas resulting in an inordinate amount of burping and flatulence, thus contributing to global warming.........you get the picture.

People better wake up and start taking action. Vote every one of these thug mobsters out of office. And don't try to tell me about some these so called "fresh faces" in politics being acceptable. Consider that now that Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon has now been replaced by Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, somebody "new" will have to fill the empty spot that Rawlings-Blake had. The "new" City Council President has been named and most people will be thinking at how he is a "fresh face" on the political scene in Baltimore...................believe it? Not me.

When asked about if she will be able to work with the new city council president, her replacement, Rawlings-Blake said that it should be no problem at all because they have been working together for over 14 years now.............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..................got that?...........14 years!..................new?...........fresh face?...............are you kidding me? All I can say is..............where and who are the people that live and work in Baltimore that are absolutely delighted about the past 14 years where Rawlings-Blake and her successor have been working together? The more things "CHANGE"...........remember, that was the Obama campaign mantra............the more things STAY THE SAME.


Here is a nice aerial photo of Maryland.............notice how white everything is?................it is called snow.............and there is alot of it..........and as I write this, there is yet another winter storm warning in effect and snow will begin falling again this afternoon............another 12 to 20 inches of snow is possible...........this ain't a good thing.................somebody ought to give Al Gore a shovel and send him to Baltimore...................this "global warming" crap is an insult to everyone because every person with at least a hint of common sense surely can see that Al Gore and people of his ilk are just capitalizing on a scare tactic that they have created..............the only thing that truly is scary is the fact that Al Gore was so very close to becoming President..........one can only imagine what things would have been like if he had been in control of this country. People should be sick and tired of being scammed by these blue-blooded millionaire politicians.

I saw Madonna on tv recently.........she was "performing" for the benefit of Haitian earthquake victims. To me, Madonna is simply an entertainer.......not an artist........not a musician........and certainly not all that much of an inspiration...........unless you aspire to be a media "ho". As I watched Madonna, I noticed how she has aged considerably and just how much she has begun to morph into yet another entertainer...........

.............yep..........that's right.............Judy Tenuta............at least Judy plays an accordion and doesn't pretend that she is important.......hehehe.

You may not know who this person is............his name is Reggie Nalder and he is an actor. He has been in some famous movies and television shows..........even Star Trek...........and I was under the impression that he had long since passed away after a very long career.

Back in the day.......when I worked at the old Vilma Theater as an usher, the movie "Mark Of The Devil" ran for about a month and every day I would see Reggie Nalder's face up on the big screen..................Back then, I never would have imagined that I would ever see anyone even closely resembling him..........if that would happen it surely would be one of the signs of the end of the world.....................

...........well.............guess what............it's the end of the world!

Damn if Nancy Pelosi doesn't look exactly like Reggie Nalder.

I may have mentioned this before, but U2 singer Bono looks just like Robin Williams.

The Baltimore Ravens did fairly well this past season. I noticed that the Ravens head coach, John Harbaugh looked awfully familiar to me..........I couldn't quite figure out who he looked like.......and then it hit me..............once again that old job as an usher in a movie theater gives me the answer................

...........hehehe........Billy Jack! Remember Billy Jack?

Okay.......on a more serious note............remember how George Bush was criticized for his response when he was first informed of the 9-11 attack? He was at an elementary school.......remember? People criticized him for years and kept saying that he was a puppet and could only say what others told him to say. Unless he had a script, he had difficulty coming up with a response on the fly..............hmmmmmm.

Today we have Obama.............take a gander at the picture shown above. Obama was in an elementary school...........and he ain't speaking on the fly.............in fact he hardly ever speaks without his teleprompters...........imagine that..........he brought teleprompters to an elementary school!..................are you kidding me?..............let there be no doubt that Obama is controlled by something or someone in power over him. Let there be no doubt that Obama is a very scripted president. Let there be no doubt that Obama is a puppet...........where are those that criticized Bush?..............I can tell you where they are.........they are busy trying to distract you.......they are running interference...........they are busy whining and moaning at how Sarah Palin had some "cheat" notes scribbled on the palm of her hand when she addressed the recent tea party gathering in Nashville........................oh the shock.........oh the shame............how dare Palin do such a thing?

Let's see............Obama good........everybody else bad...............it's the end of the world.

Arrrrggghhhhh!

Sometimes you just wanna reach into your television or computer monitor and wring the necks of morons. For some reason such an act would be less violent than the majority of what is being broadcast through the airwaves and cables. Every time I see Nancy Pelosi she makes me nauseous. I understand that women do not want to show their age and do whatever they can to try to make themselves "pretty" and young looking. Well.....Pelosi ain't fooling nobody. It appears that even when she isn't surprised.......she always has that surprised look on her face. It must be the "cosmetic" facial surgery.......I don't know. Does she think that we aren't smart enough to know that at her age she has gray hair? Who is she foolin'? You? Me?.........I don't think so. My God!........please make her go away! This woman is not only psychotic looking but it is way too early for Halloween. Okay......okay........I apologize.......I should not write such things about some kid's grandmother. It is wrong to do that...........but..............it was bad enough when all of the politicians were men and that many of them..........even to this day............had their hair sculptured and dyed resulting in that "anti-whirlwind" kind of fake tv preacher look about themselves. But now we have Pelosi...................its like having a full technicolor nightmare. I tried to warn everyone about Pelosi. She was born and bred in the Little Italy neighborhood in Baltimore. Her maiden name is D'Alesandro. She has that corrupt Maryland Democrat type of blood running throughout her vieins.

She needs to go away......and soon. Meanwhile......while I may be wrong to have written such nasty stuff..........somebody else managed to come up with a picture that sums it all up:

There ya go.....................and as it turns out......this kind of thing is as infectious as the H1N1 virus on a half eaten enchilada in the suitcase of a fat frequent flyer to Cancun. .........hmmmmm......well...........there is just ONE other case that I have found :

Oooooooh Yeah!...............This "Joker" thing is getting out of control............but.........I can see the similarities between Pelosi & Obama and the Joker. Now if Life would imitate Art just a few times............these two will find a way to eliminate themselves.


Remember that bogus election that was recently held in Iran? Remember the guy that "lost"?

Yep........That's the guy that "lost" the Presidential election in Iran. I knew he looked familiar.....................
............none other than movie director Steven Spielberg..........hehehe.........who knew?


Okay........enough "joker-ring" around.

When you read this blog, you surely must know that it is possible for you to respond or comment.........just click and respond and I will be notified via e-mail by Blogger and I will submit your commentary after making sure it is decent to post. I am not much on censoring and if I do I will specify the portion of your comment that I remove. Otherwise, I even let the Jehovah's Witnesses try to defend their beliefs.............by the way........if you missed the few posts I made about the Jehovah's Witnesses and their wacky beliefs, you most likely also missed all of the Jehovah's Witness comments to those posts. Such entertainment cannot be purchased anywhere, folks. You can go back and review all of the posts I have made since I began this blog.

Furthermore, as you may have noticed........there are no ads on my blog. There are a couple of reasons for this. One is that I just simply haven't set it up for any ads and thus I make no money. And Two is that I simply do not have enough readers to warrant such. You may notice that I also do not have a "visitor counter" on my blog. I was tempted........but I kinda like not knowing exactly how many people are actually visiting my blog. Such info would have no bearing on what I write here.

I must say though, that It surely doesn't hurt to occasionally hear from those that stumble onto my blog. You can be a kind as you want or you can be as critical of the blog as you wish. You can rest assured that you will remain "anonymous" unless otherwise specified. That's the way I operate. Those that really know me already know my name and those that I myself already know, do not need to be reminded of who they are.......hehehe.

A little feedback would be nice.........occasionally.

Also.........popularity on the internet is not something I seek and it has never been the purpose of this blog. However..........if you happen to enjoy this blog, I do hope you would share it with your friends and families and co-workers, etc. There is nothing better than word-of-mouth promotion. Who knows...........maybe I can reach twenty readers soon......hehehe. Or maybe I can get twenty new enemies........it's all good.

I Gotta Say This Stuff

I find myself accumulating certain thoughts about stuff and I have to get some of it off my chest,.....so here we go.........

As taxpayers, each and every one of you should be sick of the way things are. It's about time that each of you take action and let your voice be heard. NOW is the time for the FAIR TAX and get rid of the ridiculous tax system we have currently. Unfortunately, neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are entertaining the Fair Tax plan. This means that you need to tell them. Unfortunately, the politicians, even though there may be overwhelming outcry, will usually vote or act in the complete opposite of their constituents. This makes you wonder just WHO their "constituents" really are.

Case in point.....the Bailout of Wall Street. Where is OUR bailout?

If you or I rob someone, there are tremendous odds that we will be fully prosecuted when caught. When politicians rob us, nothing happens to them as a result......they were just doing their jobs.........imagine that!.........just doing their jobs. Well, they are not doing things right by any one of us. The overwhelming majority of politicians have continually worked against the people. It is about time that we take back control of things. If we do not..........we are doomed.

If you are not registered to vote and you just sit on your ass on election day, YOU are a major part of the problem. I would agree with you however, if you said "There isn't anyone worth voting for." The problem with that, though, is we need to think outside the box. The candidates may not be the best possible folks to elect, yet, each of us need to vote for ALL of us. You wouldn't be voting for the politician, you would be voting for YOU. If that sounds confusing, it is.
We have so many issues to deal with.....crisis after crisis. In the bigger picture, you might want to think about certain main underlying issues that, if those are not dealt with NOW, all of the other issues are moot.

In case you haven't noticed, our politicians have taken huge steps towards embracing Socialism.
This must be stopped in it's tracks. This issue alone should be enough reason to vote AGAINST Barack Obama and vote FOR John McCain. Some of you might say that we have to choose the lesser of two evils.........I might agree with that since I cannot justify voting for anyone completely evil.

Just think how out of control the politicians have become. Did anyone notice that your Senators and Representatives are supposedly acting and reflecting the people of their respective States? Ha!.........I cannot come up with one thing my own Senators have done for me .......ever. But I can CAN come up with tons of stuff that they have done TO me and you. Consider back during the Democratic Primary..........remember?......Hillary Clinton was battling Obama.........and she overwhelmingly was supported by the Democrat people in the State Of West Virginia. Even though she whooped Obama's butt in West Virginia, that ancient moron.......you know the one.......the old, blubbering, senile, career politician Robert Byrd gets on tv and announces that he supports Obama. What?

Again, when the people were against the bailout....overwhelmingly...........the politicians, overwhelmingly voted for it. Now I am thinking that something is very amiss here. Is it that the overwhelming majority of people are morons?........or is it that the overwhelming majority of politicians are morons? Take your pick............

Barney Frank...........Can somebody please explain to me how this fat blubbering, toothless moron, not only gets elected......but gets appointed to serious positions of power and control, and is NEVER held accountable for his contributions to the destruction of our economy? It's about time that people of the ilk of Barney Frank are thrown in jail for their crimes. At the very least, let's get him out of office and let him go to work for his money.

Remember?........I tried to warn everyone a long time ago when the Democrats took control of the House and the Senate. Pelosi and Hoyer have done zilch in the two years they have led.....until now. Their first action is the bailout........and the majority of the people were against that. I do not need to see any more. Let's vote these morons out of office.

So who am I going to vote for?

Arrrggghhh. Right now, the only breath of fresh air to enter the scene is Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin. I am willing to give her an opportunity to get her foot in the door to try to make changes. Of course, she would only be the Vice-President and be limited to her abilities, but it would be a step in the right direction. Obama is out of the question, he may be a relatively new face on the scene, but he is a Socialist. I cannot trust him one bit. He offers "Change" alright.

Third Party candidates?......hmmm......they are tempting.......but only because they would upset the cart. Problem with them is, not one of them stands out in any way , shape, or form. Perhaps by the time the next election comes around, maybe there will be someone that steps forth.

So......I am left with John McCain. I like McCain.....always did. I do not always agree with him and I don't like the idea that he is older than the hills.........but.........I think McCain has the ability to really change some things.

My vote goes for McCain and Palin.

Regardless of what happens......it is still the End Of The World!.....hehehe.

But seriously.........that time is soon.....and I surely wouldn't want to get to that day of judgement after having sat on my ass and not even bother to vote to make things better and hold politicians accountable and then get asked the question "What have you done to take care of the world that I loved so much?"

Think about that.
