Stimulating

With all the talk of another stimulous plan in the works, if another check gets sent to taxpayers, here are some things to keep in mind.

Via email:

Stimulus Payment Info.

This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment. This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A format:

Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

Q. Where will the government get this money?
A. From taxpayers.

Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A. Only a smidgen.

Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?
A. Shut up.

Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely:

If you spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.
If you spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.
If you purchase a computer it will go to India.
If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala (unless you buy organic).
If you buy a car it will go to Japan.
If you purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan.

And none of it will help the American economy.

We need to keep that money here in America. You can keep the money in America by spending it at yard sales, going to a baseball game, or spend it on prostitutes, beer and wine (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses still in the US.

I've heard stories from some people who were "lucky" enough to get tickets in a drawing for the presidential inauguration.

Teachers, Where Is Your God Union Now?

A Stark Warning
[...]
The Saturday rally marked the one-year anniversary of the announcement that the diocese would not recognize the teachers union as a collective bargaining unit. The diocese instead created an employee relations program to address wages, benefits and other similar issues.

House Bill 26 would allow lay teachers and employees at religious schools to decide by a majority vote if they want to be represented by a union. Unions in religious schools could then bring grievances to the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board — which currently has no jurisdiction over workplace issues in parochial schools.
[...]

Teachers' salaries suck. I do feel bad for anyone so committed they are willing to condemn themselves to a life of a sub-level salary for the benefit of their students. They have my respect.
As compared to other occupations with the same level of degree required, teachers are the lowest paid people in the country. And unions have fixed this, how?

Yeah, maybe they help with grievances and whatnot which aren't salary related, but if I were to ever think about getting into a career in education, I would definitely be looking for a superintendent job or somesuch. Something with a decent salary.

Rap Sucz

Well, here I go again. Another post about music. Really though, this post is not so much about music, but more about rap. Even more specifically, rappers.

Seems every time I make a post about music and musicians, or rap and rappers, I get called to the carpet. Well, so be it. If you don't like my commentary, don't bother posting a comment letting me know how uninformed or stupid I am, or how I don't understand what it's all about because rap sucks, rappers are a bunch of talentless, racist hacks, or because a a particular musician or entertainer I thinks sucks or is ugly. Just shut the fuck up and move along. I've heard it all before.

So the background is that I got wind of some shit the fucknut Jay-Z was yammering on about from Mrs. Curmudgeon as we were enjoying a dinner out. She mentioned that she had watched a Bill O'Reilly show last week there he and Dennis Miller - wait a minute. Mrs. Curmudgeon watching Bill O'Reilly? Blow me down matey. She always shakes her head when I mention anything I've watched on O'Reilly's show.

Anyway, she mentioned she that was watching O'Reilly interview Dennis Miller last week and they were discussing some of the racist shit the idiots Jay-Z (wtf?) and Young Jeezy (again, wtf?) had been spouting off at the inaugural ball.

Now notice I said this was on O'Reilly's show, which is of course, on the Fox network. There was no mention of it that I know of on any of the other major networks. Why do you suppose that is?

I snagged these quotes from other sources, so they may be misaligned or disjointed, but you get the drift:

Young Jeezy:"I know ya'll thanking a lot of people right now...I want to thank two people. I want to thank the motherfucker overseas that threw two shoes at George Bush, and I want to thank the motherfuckers who helped them move they shit up out the White House. Get it moving bitch! My president is motherfucking black!"

Jay-Z: "My president is black, in fact he's half white/So even in a racist mind he's half right/If you've got a racist mind it's alright/My president is black, but his house is all white!"

"Never thought I'd say this shit, baby I'm good. you can keep your pussy because I don't want no more Bush. No more war. No more Iraq. No more white lies, my president is black"

Nice. You rap fans have yourself some real role models there.

And these fuckers call us crackers racists? Now that's fucking funny.
Yeah, It's a real honor to be a racist drug dealer. A real honor to glamorize "the 'hood". Poverty, drugs, gang violence, filth and unlimited children on "The Man's" dime.

Good for you, you rappin', hip-hoppin' fucks. You made it to the big time. You have a career, unlike the people whose lives you ruined by selling them the drugs that made the money that got you your start in life.

But you Obama, I never heard a rebuttal from you. If in fact you and your following are not racist, why did you allow this bullshit ease on by without any denouncement from your staff?

Let's say that next election, a white man gets elected. Let's say that oh, Ted Nugent gets on stage and says something like "No more black lies! My president is white again!" Does anyone believe, without a shadow of a doubt, that ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, BBC, CBC, ... even fucking Pravda, wouldn't go totally apeshit and rip 'The Nuge' a new asshole?
Damn right they would. They would make it perfectly clear how big of a gun-totin' white racist he was, and from that point on he wouldn't make it through another day without round the clock Secret Service protection and a new identity.

Yeah, racism still abounds, but I don't hear it coming from whitey any more.

"Message from President"

Lovely.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Say What?!?!

Yup, it's done. We have a new President of the United States, Commander in Chief, World Leader, blah blah blah, whatever you want to call the dude.

Some folks say the country is/has/will go completely and unobtrusively to hell. They're almost giddy waiting...just waiting for the chance to see him fuck up. Big time. Just so they can say "I told you so."
I think I fall into that category somewhat, in that I'm sure he ain't "all that", and he isn't going to be the savior so many people think he is.

Others are saying that he's now our president and love or hate him, whether you voted for him or not, he is our president and it is time to swallow the pride and support him.

Fuck that. If he does a good job, fine. I'll say "good job". He still has to get congress and the house behind his ass to make anything happen. And since the majority of those being demo-socialists, it won't be much of a task. And since they are, well, it's going to be a 'taxing' four years for a lot of people.

Anyway, after spending one hundred and seventy million dollars yesterday on his big hoe-down ... wait a minute. How much?
That would be $170,000,000.00.
See all those commas?
How many commas do you have on your paycheck? How much of it went to the big show?

Anyway, after showing us how fiscally responsible he is by spending about the same on his hoe-down yesterday as what 850 - get that: 850 - "Joe the Plumbers" make in a year, everyone should rethink what the coming years hold in store for us.

I didn't have the opportunity to listen to his spiel speech yesterday, but I did hear a clip or two of it here and there. Whatever. Usual do-good shit every other president has said with the words switched around a bit.

Look it up if you're interested. There are probably hundreds of web sites that have it, or I'm sure a few hundred youtubes of it.

I once said I would support whoever was president. I guess I changed my mind. People have to earn my respect. It isn't automatic.

Oh, and by the way, I don't give a flying fuck what the fuck Mrs. Obamm-bamm is wearing, who the fuck her hairdresser is, where the fuck the fucking kids fucking go to school, or what sort of fucking dog they fucking get for the fucking White House.

Small Town Raised

This is way too true. Via email:

Those who grew up in small towns will laugh when they read this. Those who didn't will be in disbelief and won't understand how true it is.

1.) You can name everyone you graduated with.

2.) You know what 4-H means.

3.) You went to parties at a pasture, barn, gravel pit, or in the middle of a dirt road. On Monday you could always tell who was at the party because of the scratches on their legs from running through the woods when the party was busted. (See #6)

4.) You used to 'drag' Main.

5.) Most people went by a nickname.

6.) You scheduled parties around the schedules of different police officers, because you knew which ones would bust you and which ones wouldn't.

7.) You could never buy cigarettes because all the store clerks knew how old you were (and if you were old enough, they'd tell your parents anyhow.) Besides, where would you get the money.

8.) When you did find somebody old enough and brave enough to by cigarettes, you still had to go out into the country and drive on back roads to smoke them.

9.) You knew which section of the ditch you would find the beer your buyer dropped off.

10.) It was cool to date somebody from the neighboring town.

11.) The whole school went to the same party after graduation.

12.) You didn't give directions by street names but rather by references. Turn by Nelson's house, to 2 blocks to Anderson's, and it's four houses left of the track field.

13.) The golf course had only 9 holes.

14.) You couldn't help but date a friend's ex-boyfriend's/girlfriend.

15.) Your car stayed filthy because of the dirt roads, and you will never own a dark vehicle for this reason.

16.) The town next to you was considered 'trashy' or 'snooty' but was actually just like your town.

17.) You referred to anyone with a house newer then 1950 as the 'rich' people.

18.) The people in the 'big city' dressed funny, and then you picked up the trend 2 years later.

19.) Anyone you wanted could be found at the local gas station or the drive-in.

20.) You saw at least one friend a week driving a tractor through town or one of your friends driving a grain truck to school occasionally.

21.) The gym teacher suggested you haul hay for the summer to get stronger.

22.) Directions were given using THE stop light as a reference.

23.) When you decided to walk somewhere for exercise, 5 people would pull over and ask if you wanted a ride.

24.) Your teachers called you by your older sibling's names.

25.) Your teachers remembered when they taught your parents.

26.) You could charge at any local store or write checks without any ID.

27.) There was no McDonalds.

28.) The closest mall was over an hour away.

29.) It was normal to see an old man riding through town on a riding lawn mower.

30.) You've pee'd in a corn or alfalfa field.

I would not have wanted to have been raised any other way!!!!

So I guess today's the big day, huh? Obamm-bamm gets put in office, the city of Washington D.C. is a cluster fuck, and the news on teevee seems to care more about what his wife will be wearing to the big inauguration ball than what the new prez will be doing in office. But I guess they only report on what the majority of sheeple in America want to hear.

Obama Team Seeks Delay In Digital TV Transition

WASHINGTON - President-elect Barack Obama is urging Congress to postpone the Feb. 17 switch from analog to digital television broadcasting, arguing that too many Americans who rely on analog TV sets to pick up over-the-air channels won't be ready.

In a letter to key lawmakers Thursday, Obama transition team co-chair John Podesta said the digital transition needs to be delayed largely because the Commerce Department has run out of money for coupons to subsidize digital TV converter boxes for consumers. People who don't have cable or satellite service or a new TV with a digital tuner will need the converter boxes to keep their older analog sets working.
[...]

Good gawd. The fucking idiot is getting his priorities all lined up here I see.

Look PrezElect, the digital conversion bullshit has been in the works for 10+ years, and has been a major focus of the news for around 2 years. Folks who don't have those government subsidized converter boxes are obviously not fucking interested in teevee enough to get one, or they would have already.
Them po' folks you're talking about who can't afford one? Well what did they do with their "Economic Stimulus™" check? Maybe they should have set aside forty lousy, fucking dollars for a converter.

Yeah, I know. You're going to "HOPE!!!" take care "CHANGE!!!" of everyone now that you're in office. Everyone will have enough money, enough food, enough insurance, and by god - enough teevee.

The news is abuzz with the "Him" moving into the White House, his kids going to the uppity private school - you know, the one Chelsea Clinton went to - and the upcoming inauguration. Not to mention all the shithead democrats being sworn into office today.

Well, good luck you fucked up pack of socialist losers. It would be just swell if you all can indeed live up to all the promises you made during campaign time.
Without us all having to hand over our entire paycheck, that is.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

Motorists' habits spur call for tax increases
1 hour, 24 minutes agoSent 427 times

l WASHINGTON - Motorists are driving less and buying less gasoline, which means fuel taxes aren't raising enough money to keep pace with the cost of road, bridge and transit programs.
[...]

So let me get this straight - gas prices go sky high causing people to drive less. On the one hand, greenies and Algore love it because we're burning less fossil fuels. On the other hand, governments lose tax revenue for building more and better roads. And on the other hand, there are fewer vehicles to make roads for. But on the other hand, mass transit systems get more business, but their rates will go up because of higher taxes.

What's going to happen when we start using so-called "alternative fuels"? That shit is going to be taxed so bad to compensate for the lack of gas taxes, it will be unaffordable.


Fuck me.

Happy Friggin' New Year

Yup. it's a new number on the calendar. A new year.

A time for people to think about all the shit that has gone wrong in their lives and talk about doing something different this coming year. Same old song and dance.

Like a skipping record, every year it's "Last year was shit, let's hope this year is better." Well, I got some news for you. You'll be saying the same fucking thing about 363 days from now.

And yes, every year, people make resolutions. They try them for a while and when they tire of it say "Fuck it, this ain't no fun."

That diet? Bah. Maybe a pill will do the trick.

Stop smoking? I'm sure the maker of Nicorette has a nice spike in profits for a month and a half, then back to normal by Valentine's Day.

Treat people better? Yeah, a nicer attitude at the water cooler until they deal with the usual asshole customer or boss, then - you guessed it - back to the grind.

This is why I don't make actual New Year's resolutions. It's bullshit. If you really want to be a better person either towards others or to yourself, just fucking do it. Don't put it off until New Year's and make some bogus milestone out of it. If it's within your control and you want it done, it's up to you to do it. And there's no time like the present.
