An advice column for Incels

This guy is a self proclaimed Incel, he can't get laid and is angry about it. really angry

Just so you know what kind of dirt bags we are discussing:

ncels are "involuntary celibates" Incels are self-identifying members of an online subculture^[ who define themselves as unable to find a romantic or sexual partner despite desiring one, a state they describe as inceldom. Self-identified incels are mostly white, male, and heterosexual..

This Incel is pissed because he can't get a woman to talk to him, to date him or even consider fucking him and he blames her, it's her problem, not his.

I'm an old "silver back" well qualified to give this Incel some advice, here we go:

Don't be a dick.

Take a shower, sometimes two, use soap and a decent shampoo

Lose that fucking neckbeard

Don't be a dick

Rethink your clothing choices, you look like shit.

Get rid of your god damn stocking hat beanie, what are you 9 years old?

Don't be a dick

You have bags under your eyes, get some sleep and stop eating Cheetos, look at your hands.

Internet porn is not an accurate portrayal of life, the chances of ever getting a blow job in a public rest room are like 9,999,999,999,999,to 1. Even if you offer to pay a professional for it, the odds don't change that much. A pro would say, "Are you out of your fucking mind? You're an asshole." .

Don't be a dick

Buy good deodorant, Tom's of Maine all natural is nice, so is their toothpaste. Don't pur cologne or aftershave all over yourself either and forget about AXE, it's so obvious you may as well roll in shit.

Once you get yourself cleaned up and happen to strike up a conversation with a woman, you need to listen and quit talking about your shit, your problems, your interests and especiall don't talk about wanting to get laid. And this is important, even if half her boobs are hanging out, keep your eyes on hers you dummy.

Don't be a dick

If you look and act like you really need to get laid and especially deserve to get laid, you won't get laid, it's that simple, understand?


Quit spending your time on 4chan, you're fucked up enough already ( 1.)

Don't be a dick.

See this woman, chances are she has heard every bullshit line from every cheap hustler and from every kind of asshole walking. She hears it everyday at work and at play. Of course she'd like to meet an attractive guy, she's an attractive woman for christ's sake. Why can't you get that through your head? Now, If the attractive guy is an asshole/dick to her, she'll walk and should. I've seen plenty of beautiful women with average or below average looking guys, why? Because he's a nice human being, in other words, he's not a dick. This works in the other direction too, look around. 

My old man told me a long time ago, 'you deserve what you earn" and he also said, don't be a dick.. 

So get your shit together and quit feeling sorry for yourself. You're acting like a dumb fuck and that makes you a dick. Dumb fucks and dicks don't ever get laid, look at your friends, for chrissakes. 



( 1.) Discussions in incel forums are often characterized by resentment, misanthropy, self-pity, self-loathing, misogyny, racism, a sense of entitlement to sex, and the endorsement of violence against sexually active people. The Southern Poverty Law Center described the subculture as "part of the online male supremacist ecosystem" that is a member of their list of hate groups, and self-described incels have committed at least four mass murders in North America. In total, forty-five people have been killed in five events since 2014 by people who may be considered incels.

COAL...

Our family's unknown man is my Great, Grandfather Harris, he was killed in a coal mining accident in Illinois. He left a young wife and two little girls. Why was he in Illinois? He immigrated because the Welsh village he grew up was devastated by a mine explosion and collapse. Devastated to the point that the village ceased to exist. They called it a disaster and it was. Young Harris moved from one disaster zone to another. He survived the first, not the second.

Coal mining has always been a dirty, nasty job. If you weren't killed underground you died later of the effects of black lung or of the injuries connected to your job.

Our republican President has promised that coal is coning back, it isn't and now this has happened:

Almost 23,000 retired coal miners and their dependents on Wednesday received official notification that they could lose their health care benefits by April 30.
“This is causing tremendous mental and in some cases physical trauma to these senior citizens,” United Mine Workers of America President Cecil Roberts said Wednesday. “They will now have to begin contemplating whether to continue to get medicines and treatments they need to live or to buy groceries. They will now have to wonder if they can go see a doctor for chronic conditions like black lung or cancer or pay the mortgage.”
For the last year, U.S. senators representing Ohio and West Virginia have worked to preserve health care coverage and pensions for retired coal miners. Roberts and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said the health care coverage was originally slated to expire at the end of 2016, but Congress passed a four-month extension at that time.

Then the turd in the punch bowl floated to the surface...

When KY Sen. Mitch McConnell strode into the Capitol for last month’s State of the Union speech, he took with him a guest whose presence was sure to be seen as a slap against the Obama administration and its policies on coal.

“I brought along this unemployed coal miner here,” McConnell (R-Ky.) said, gesturing to fourth-generation mineworker Howard Abshire, “to see the person who put him out of work.”
The Senate majority leader said he wanted to call attention to President Obama’s “heartless” regulations that he argues have devastated communities in Abshire’s native eastern Kentucky. Yet just weeks earlier, McConnell’s office had delivered its own blow to Appalachian coal towns: It blocked efforts to rescue health and pension funds on which thousands of retired and disabled miners rely.

A plan that would ensure the solvency of the funds nearly made it through Congress in December as part of the bipartisan budget deal that cleared both chambers. But the bailout attempt — backed by key lawmakers from both political parties — was excluded from the deal at McConnell’s request, according to four Senate officials directly familiar with the events.
McConnell’s spokesman does not dispute that telling of events. And McConnell has not publicly explained his opposition to the measure.

Add to that, deregulation of existing mines, (read that as lax safety standards) lowering of water standards and increased mountain top removal operations and you get not only a perfect recipe for disaster you get zero no jobs because there is NO MARKET for COAL.

I wish some country singer would pen a song about "Coal aunt Comin' Back" or "Piss off Mitch" rather than more nonsensical bullshit about pickup trucks, beer and country girls in Daisy Dukes.

Blame the victim, take no responsibility...

   

                                

Steve Loomis is an asshole!

The head of the Cleveland rank-and-file police union says the family of 12-year-old Tamir Rice should use money from a $6 million settlement to educate children about the use of look-alike firearms.

When a 12 year old with a BB gun is killed by cop, it's the kid's family who needs to change things?

"Something positive must come from this tragic loss. That would be educating youth of the dangers of possessing a real or replica firearm.

We look forward to the possibility of working with the Rice family to achieve this common goal."

I guess the Cleveland cop shop can't get their shit together enough on their own, so they want the Rice family to pony up the cash from the settlement to do the training?

The Rice family attorney, Subodh Chandra … said that Loomis' comments “reflect all that is wrong with Cleveland’s police division — Loomis managed to (1) blame the victim, (2) equate the loss of the life of a 12-year-old child with the officers facing scrutiny, and (3) demand money from the victim’s family and counsel. Loomis’s continued posturing shows he and the union still don’t comprehend that the police division needs a cultural change — not hiring incompetents, better training, and greater accountability.”

The Cleveland cop who shot and killed Tamir, a split second after leaping from his car. had been dismissed from a suburban police department for emotional issues before he was hired by the Cleveland PD. He's still a cop and working. He faced rather light discipline and he's alive and Tamir Rice is still dead.

Being a cop can be a tough job and it can be dangerous. (not as dangerous as the cops would like to us to believe it is) A tiny percentage of cops are the cops who cause problems, make stupid decisions and kill kids like young Rice. The Rice family settled with Cleveland for 6 million, they lost their son and the Cleveland Police Department took no responsibility.

Be nice if guys like Steve Loomis looked in the mirror occasionally.

Yes these People really are Assholes

Writer David Akadjian is a very brave guy. He waded in the one of the many cesspools on Reddit and engaged the anti-PC whiners. They are really angry about political correctness. As you scroll through his Reddit adventure is what these people want is the right to be an asshole and never get called out on it.

Akadjian wanted to hear what they had to say about PC. Instead of arguing, he asked, “What is it that you want to say but don’t feel you can?”

Here's another...

You can’t call midgets midgets and you can’t call gays fagots (sic).

Former GOP Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert...what a guy!

From the "Sick, Twisted, Bastards" files...from Lawyers, Guns and Money's Shakezula:

I’m not sure Dennis Hastert’s supporters are doing him any favors.

Federal prosecutors portray former House Speaker Dennis Hastert as a serial child molester who agreed to pay millions to cover up his shameful secrets — but former Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay describes him as a man of “strong faith” and “great integrity.

(The notorious crook says you’re A-OK? You’re free to go.)

"We all have our flaws, but Dennis Hastert has very few,” DeLay wrote to Hastert’s sentencing judge.

(And such small portions! Or something.)

"He is a good man that loves the Lord. He gets his integrity and values from Him. He doesn’t deserve what he is going through.”

(And after the Lord drove out the moneylenders, he did pocket all of the shekels he could grab, for some of the younger disciples were threatening to tell.)

Apparently Hastert’s one-man crusade against Title IX is also a good thing?

Leo Kocher, the head wrestling coach at the University of Chicago and an associate professor there, wrote that Hastert helped when the U.S. Department of Education created a strong incentive to eliminate intercollegiate athletic opportunities through Title IX.

“He never said no when it came to his being able to help in any way to stem the senseless devastation of non-scholarship sports opportunities,” Kocher wrote, adding Hastert “was driven in this by pure concern for, and loyalty to, the youth — boys and girls — whose development was at stake.”

(Yeah, probably don’t want to mention his concern for the youth.)

And from Mrs. Hastert.

“If one of his students or wrestlers ever needed anything of him, he would be there for them, and he was never happier than when he could watch someone he helped succeed,” Jean Hastert wrote.

(OK, she’s just trying to get him killed.)

FYI, If Hastert has slipped your mind, when he was a high school wrestling coach, he like to “play” with his wrestlers.

Inconvenient Facts

Fix our problems, why no we wouldn't think of it...

Mississippi (God Damn) ranks at the bottom of all states in the US in almost every category, income, poverty rates, teen pregnancy, if it's a bad thing Mississippi wins the category. What is the state government in Mississippi doing about their state's problems?  Nothing.

Last week, rather than taking a long hard look at why their state is a loser. The legislature passed a law allowing people to bring guns to church, no concealed carry permits, no training, no nothing. In Mississippi you can pack heat for Jesus.

Voter fraud is virtually non-existent in the US...

Kansas has spent millions of dollars to root out voter fraud. They found 3 cases, two of the fraudulent voters were a husband and a wife, who had a home in Kansas and another in Colorado, they mistakenly believed they could vote in local elections in both states.

The 'crusade" against voter fraud is really a crusade to keep the "wrong" people from voting. Wisconsin actually slowed down their vote processing machines in Madison, the most liberal city in the state, making the lines even longer.

Republican controlled states have cut the number of polling places. They've also made it even more difficult to register to vote. Maricopa County AZ, slashed the number of polling places for their primary citing budgetary reasons. Maricopa County is a blue spot in a red state. Funny the red counties had the same number of polling places as they've always had.

In Texas a University picture ID doesn't qualify you to vote, but a Texas gun permit without a picture does.

Elections...

Our election campaigns are far too long. Ted Cruz announced his candidacy for president 11 months before the first primary. 

Voting is a pain in the ass in the US, it's hard to register and for a lot of people it's hard to get time off to vote on a Tuesday.

Why not automatically register everyone to vote when they turn 18?

In California, when you get a driver's license, you check a box to register to vote and yes, even though we issue driver's licenses to non-citizens, they don't get to register to vote.

Why don't we vote on Sunday?

Business...

Les Moonvies, the Chairman of Viacom made less money in 2015 than he did in 2014, he dropped from over 70 million in compensation in just over 67 million.

Uber drivers in Charleston, SC make a $1.70 on a five dollar fare and they buy their own gas and pay for their insurance. Uber is simply a cab company without the overhead.

Investment bankers destroyed the radio business, it took them less than 20 years to do it.

Tesla has 267,000 deposits on their new lower priced car.

Demographics...

By 2020 over 52% of the US population will live within 100 miles of the coast. I'd like the talk about "Coastal Elites" to just stop.

I read a story the other day that those of us who live on the coasts don't understand the "real" Americans because we don't eat at chain restaurants and or watch network television. I see a lot of cars in the parking lot at Olive Garden restaurants and all the other major national chains in California and the LA television stations are doing just fine.

As a coastal elite I don't eat at Olive Garden because the food sucks, same reason I don't eat Pizza Hut pizza or eat at Taco Bell. One the other hand I could eat a double-double animal style from In 'n Out Burger at 6:45 in the morning with no problem.

Entertainment...

HBO's "Confirmation", the show about the Clarence Thomas' hearings for the Supreme Court drew a complaint from former Wyoming Senator Alan Simpson. Simpson didn't like the way he was portrayed. When it was pointed out to him that the dialogue from the hearings was word for word from the hearing transcripts, he shut up and went away.

Making the difficult even more so

I know and have worked with a transgender person. Born a male, she suffered until middle age with the knowledge that she was born with the wrong body.

She made the transition to becoming who she really is in her 40's. She had to do this with the knowledge that her successful business would certainly suffer.

I can't imagine how difficult it would be, how desperate you'd have to be to give up what had been your life for well over 40 years and finally give in to your personal reality and take the difficult steps needed to become who you really are.

If she travels to any of the states who have passed the new "Religious Freedom" laws she can be discriminated against. All of these new laws require, this chubby middle aged woman to use men's rest rooms, because on her birth certificate says she was born a male. The only thing that ever made her a male was being born with external plumbing.

Do the people passing these laws ever consider the damage they do. Do they think that she gets off on using a ladies room so she can catch a glimpse of a woman hiking up her skirt? They seem to think transgenders are perverts, that they made a choice to be who they are. They didn't.

North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory has been bombarded with photos like these:

Hi Governor, I'll be using the bathroom with your wife...

or like this...

Don't mind me Governor when you see me in the men's room touching up my make up.

Transgender Americans go through things that we can't even imagine going through and that's on top of all the BS that everyday life hands us all.

They deserve our support and most of all they deserve our understanding, compassion and empathy. They don't deserve what they are getting from right wing politicians, religious fanatics and their state governments.

It isn't a choice, you idiots. If it was, nobody would do it.

Springsteen Cancels North Carolina Gig Over 'Backwards' Anti-LGBT Law

A letter to Springsteen fans in North Carolina...


"As you, my fans, know I’m scheduled to play in Greensboro, North Carolina this Sunday. As we also know, North Carolina has just passed HB2, which the media are referring to as the “bathroom” law. HB2 — known officially as the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act — dictates which bathrooms transgender people are permitted to use. Just as important, the law also attacks the rights of LGBT citizens to sue when their human rights are violated in the workplace. No other group of North Carolinians faces such a burden. To my mind, it’s an attempt by people who cannot stand the progress our country has made in recognizing the human rights of all of our citizens to overturn that progress. Right now, there are many groups, businesses, and individuals in North Carolina working to oppose and overcome these negative developments. Taking all of this into account, I feel that this is a time for me and the band to show solidarity for those freedom fighters. As a result, and with deepest apologies to our dedicated fans in Greensboro, we have canceled our show scheduled for Sunday, April 10th. Some things are more important than a rock show and this fight against prejudice and bigotry — which is happening as I write — is one of them. It is the strongest means I have for raising my voice in opposition to those who continue to push us backwards instead of forwards."

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s Sunday April 10th show is canceled. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.

Good for you Bruce and the E Street Band.

In addition to Bruce's objections, a major expansion by a national company has been cancelled. The NBA is probably going to cancel the All Star game in Charlotte and more to come. 

The Highpoint Furniture Show (the biggest in the world) has had dozens of exhibitors pull out.

The crap has to stop.

Don't Get Fooled Again.

The other night when Chris Matthews pushed Trump on Choice, The Donald got lost. The other two Republicans waffled, Ted Cruz said of course a woman wouldn't be punished, so did John Kasich. Never the less they both want to ban abortion, using the word "ban" is a softer way of saying illegal.

If abortion is illegal, there would have to be a law against it. How would you write a law that has no penalties? None of the Republican candidates have an answer for that question, because the issue, until the other night, hasn't come up. The Pro-Life people have been used as a useful voting bloc. Republicans get them all riled up with promises about getting rid of Roe v Wade and the Pro Life people vote for them. Useful tools.

If abortion is against the law, every pregnancy would have to be monitored from conception to birth. Who would do the monitoring of every pregnant woman in America? The cops? Would there be a Federal department created to do the monitoring or would it be left to the states?

In 2015 there were 3,999,386 children born in the US. Think about that number because it's obvious the Republican Presidential candidates haven't.

All three talk about education, of the three only Kasich, as the governor of Ohio,  has had to deal with education directly. When Kasich took office Ohio had the 5th best schools in America, He initiated his "reforms" and now Ohio schools are ranked 23rd. Good job. Kasich wants to get rid of the US Department of Education, probably to duck the monitoring and ranking of student success. Trump and Cruz agree, the Department of Education has to go along with those nasty, unhappy, overpaid teachers..

Ted Cruz wants to abolish the IRS, make the tax codes simpler and easy to use, of course he also wants to lower rates on the highest incomes. Somebody needs to ask the "Tailgunner Ted" who is going to collect the new, lower, simpler and easier taxes if we have no IRS. Is he going to create a new department? From scratch?

The pundits all say Trump is a "New Kind" of candidate, he is not. All three are peddling the same old Republican orthodoxy the party has been selling since Reagan.

If you want to know what the US would look like and be like with Republicans controlling all three branches of government take a peek at Kansas and Louisiana... .

http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2016/02/kansas_state_budget_situation.html

Those two states aren't alone.

These fcking people drive me crazy!

A couple of things...

I read this morning, believe it or not, the Republican held Senate passed a bi-partisan bill to fight Opiate Addiction. It passed unanimously. High fives all around and then they voted not to fund it. Only 5 Republicans voted to fund the bill, a bill they authored and passed.

Niggers, wops, spics, kikes, greasers, queers, chili shitters, jungle bunnies, bohunks, micks, round heads and wet backs. I heard all those names and more growing up in the "good old days". I heard those words out of the mouths of professionals and out of the mouths of the unskilled, so yeah I'm on board for PC.

Oh, and I remember when I first started working in the late 60's guys thought nothing about calling women they worked with, sweetie, doll and baby and on occasion gave them a little slap on the ass as they walked by the desk. I have no nostalgia for the "good old days".


I'll leave you with this note from the dearly departed Molly Ivins...

"One function of the income gap is that the people at the top of the heap have a hard time even seeing those at the bottom. They practically need a telescope. The pharaohs of ancient Egypt probably didn't waste a lot of time thinking about the people who built their pyramids, either."

Downton farewell and an Oddity

We watched the last of Downton Abbey last night...happy endings all around. The Executive Wife was happy with the ending and depressed because the show is over.

Here are a few of the online comments about the show and the character's futures.

Bates and Anna name their son Norman. They immigrate to the US and buy a small motel on the California coast.

During the "Red Scare" of the 50's Daisy is arrested by Scotland Yard for heading up a Soviet Espionage ring and dies in prison in 1991.

Mr. Barrow has taken over for Mr. Carson (Carson remains as "Managing Butler") Mr. Barrows hires a new Footman, the new Footman is gay. A romance ensues and there is another wedding at Downton, but not until 2013 when same sex marriage is legalized in the UK. Barrow and his long time partner become the oldest couple to marry under the new law.

In 1961, 86 year old Lord Grantham once again heeds the advice of his fellow club members, invests his dwindling fortune in 4 young musicians "who will change the world and culture"....Gerry and The Pacemakers.

      This is The Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus....

          If you remove the vowels from his name you get RNC PR BS

The Boxer

I have an old friend in Denver. Lanny grew up in prison, he wasn't an inmate, his old man was the warden. The warden was a boxer, good enough to win a Pacific Fleet heavyweight championship during World War II.

The warden believed in boxing, loved boxing and he started his blonde, blue-eyed son in the ring when he was a little kid. The warden believed in boxing as rehabilitation for his prisoners. It kept them busy, healthy, out of trouble and gave them an outlet to relieve the constant stress of being in prison. The boxing program he developed was good enough to set one of his former prisoners on a path to the heavyweight championship. That prisoner, Ron Lyle became a heavyweight contender boxing Ali, Foreman, Ernie Shavers and many others.

The warden's son, my friend Lanny, at 12 began training and boxing with the prisoners. He was a boy fighting grown men and he soon began beating them. He moved on to Golden Gloves in his early teens. As a freshman at the University of Colorado he fought as a middleweight in the South Western Regional Golden Gloves Championship. Lanny's eyes were on the Olympics. But, in the championship bout, he was beaten, badly, by a Hispanic middleweight who later, as a top contender, faced off against Sugar Ray Leonard and lost to Sugar Ray in a split decision. Lanny told he'd never been hit so hard in his life as he had been in that fight. He said after the first punch he wanted to drop his gloves and let the guy finish him. At 20 he retired from the ring.

19 years later, I flew into Denver to go skiing, Lanny and his wife Karen picked me up at the airport, we went out for a late dinner, to catch up, have a few laughs and we'd head for the slopes the next morning.

Without reservations there was a wait for a table, so we sat at the bar. Lanny's wife was 33 years old and she looked 22. Like Lanny, she's blonde and blue eyed. To say Karen is an attractive woman is an understatement. While Lanny and I were in deep conversation about the radio business, Karen was sitting next to him minding her own business and talking off and on with the woman tending bar.

A huge guy, a football player sized guy, started to make a move on Lanny's wife. Karen politely told him she wasn't interested, the guy persisted. He was obnoxious and pushy. Lanny finally noticed what was going on and asked the guy to leave his wife alone. The guy responded by putting his arm tightly around Karen, he squeezed her boob and he got in Lanny's face. Lanny's response was to tell the guy that if he didn't leave instantly, he'd kick his ass. The guy laughed and told him "to fuck off". Lanny stood up and said, "Let's go outside." Lanny didn't seem angry or excited, he was cool as he could be.

Karen and I followed them out the door. Lanny in the lead and the big boy right behind him. When Lanny got to the parking lot, he turned around and said, "You can walk away now or you're finished." The big guy laughed, then telegraphed a slow, wide, looping right at Lanny's face. Lanny moved his head, the guy missed. Lanny stepped inside and peppered the guy's face with short, hard punches, when the guy's hands went up Lanny rained a series of hard body blows to the stomach and kidneys, the guy's arms went back down to cover up and Lanny set him up with a series of jabs and stunned the guy with a short, tight right cross. His hands were down, his eyes rolled back, he was dazed. Lanny went right back to work on the guy's face. A few seconds later it was over. The big boy was on his back on the wet asphalt, he was bleeding and his nose had moved an inch to the right. He wasn't unconscious but he was close. The guy's face looked like a package of fresh, bloody hamburger. Lanny destroyed him. The fight lasted less than a minute. It wasn't a fight it was a beating. 

The lady bartender had called the cops when we walked out, in minutes the cops and the EMTs arrived. They loaded the big boy in an ambulance and drove him away. One of the cops took Lanny aside to ask him what happened. They talked for maybe 5 minutes and the cop left.

I asked Lanny what the cop said, Lanny laughed, "The cop said, considering the size of the guy and the size of you, he ought to be embarrassed."

The next day while we were skiing I told Lanny that after seeing him in action last night I didn't understand why he quit boxing at 20, giving up his Olympic dream. Lanny drank some of his beer and laughed, "I was fast and I could move, but I could never hit hard enough to win at the next level."  

CHP Punked

 

Being a cop is a tough job on the other hand it pays really well in California and the retirement is terrific. Being a cop, tough as it is doesn’t mean you get to be an asshole, it doesn’t mean you don’t have to follow the rules. Ever since we’ve lived here I’ve bought gas and coffee at the same gas station/car wash/convenience store. They have a nice, little deli-café inside and serve my favorite Peet’s coffee. It’s a daily stop of our area Sheriffs Deputies and California Highway Patrol officers. About 5 of them are regulars and 4 of the five are good guys, one is an asshole. He is a CHP patrolman. He’s what gym operators call a “lightbulb”. His arms are huge, so are his shoulders and chest. He does nothing but upper body workouts because he has no ass and his legs are matchsticks. A lot of cops seem to favor this look.

I generally shoot the shit with the cops. We see each other all the time, know each other by name and we get along. Nobody gets along with the “lightbulb” because not only is he an asshole to civilians, he’s the same way with his fellow cops.

One morning I was waiting at the light. I saw “lightbulb” blow a red light by the skin of his ass, stop in traffic to make a left hand turn across a double yellow into the gas station, he grew impatient and hit his lights and his whooper siren to stop traffic so he could make his illegal left and pull into the gas station, he parked his cruiser and sauntered into the store to lean on the counter by the coffee maker and scowl at the customers. I came in to buy coffee and a bagel, while I was getting my coffee, I asked him if it did any good to call the special number to report traffic violations 1-800-call-aCHP. “Lightbulb” said “it depends what it is and if there is an officer in the area. What did you see?” I told him, “Red light violation, illegal left hand turn.” He asked if I got the plate number. I said, “I did, a blue plate, Official Vehicle.” I gave him the number. His face got red and he took a step toward me and said, “What are you, a fucking asshole? You better not fuck with me.” Suddenly he stepped back, picked up his coffee and walked out. I was relieved since I thought he was ready to tase me. I watched him march out without paying and then I looked around and saw a CHP Sgt. getting coffee. The Sgt. said ‘what was that all about?” I told him and he said, “Don’t worry about it. Everybody knows he’s an asshole. I’ll talk to him.”

I don’t see him at the station anymore, maybe he got transferred to another part of the district.

"Deep in the Heart of Texas"

 

Greg Abbot is the Texas Attorney General and since Rick Perry announced that he isn’t going to run again, Abbot is the Republican front runner and is he is a Texas sized asshole!

Exhibit 1.

Abbot brags “I go into the office in the morning, sue President Obama and then I go home.”

He’s a horse shit lawyer, he’s sued the feds 27 times and won 5 times, costing Texans millions and millions in court fees.

Exhibit 2.

Abbot had a tree fall on him in 2004, he sued and won 10 million dollars. He is in a wheelchair for life. Immediately after he won his judgment, he led a fight in Texas for Tort Reform (from his wheelchair) to lower settlements like the one he won in court. If the fucking tree fell on him today, the maximum he’d get is $250,000.

Exhibit 3.

Abbot is now suing the feds over the Americans with Disabilities Act. (Championed by Bob Dole and signed into law by George H. W. Bush) It’s the law that makes public buildings handicapped accessible, prevents discriminatory hiring practices, etc. Abbot must have a magic flying wheelchair (or plenty of burly Teas Rangers to haul his ass around) that doesn’t need curb cuts, he doesn’t need handicapped urinals to piss in or since I’m sure as Attorney General and probably down the road as Governor he’ll have drivers so he won’t need to worry about handicapped parking spots.

Sick bastard.

I think we’d be much better off, as Rick Perry once hinted, if Texas would just secede from the Union. Then we could take all our military bases, the Johnson Space Center, cut them out of FAA airport controls and every other piece of the federal government that they obviously despise and then move that border fence to the Oklahoma border. Maybe we’d get really lucky and Oklahoma would join Texas.

Best part is Texas college football teams would have to play themselves, over and over and over.

As my old friend JB, a true “blue” Texan says, “The Republicans in Texas have turned the state into Mississippi with good roads and if they fuck up the schools any more than they have, smart parents will be sending their kids to school in Nuevo Laredo.”

“Radio’s Young Turks”

                      “A morning show co-host with a better idea and the numbers show it!”

 

When I interviewed MB for this story, she asked that I not disclose her market, her station or the identities of her co-workers or her real name. I agreed.

“MB” has a master’s degree in English Literature with a specialization in 18^th century female poets. She graduated from a prestigious university and like most of today’s liberal arts grads; she couldn’t seem to find the right job. Unemployed after college, MB drifted into food service jobs, hostess, waitress and then cocktail waitress. 6 months ago in a Midwestern market she exploded on the scene in radio. I met her at a coffee shop in the market where she works. MB had on a baseball cap, her hair in a ponytail, no makeup and was wearing a pair of painter’s pants and a washed out sweatshirt, she had a pair of well-worn Chuck Taylors on her feet. In her words this is the story of her radio career.

“After I got my MA, I just couldn’t find a decent job, I had an offer from a community college in a small southern town, part time with no contract. A friend of mine helped me get a job at a cafeteria, mindless, minimum wage and no tips, I moved to small local café, I got tips, but the wage for tipped workers is ridiculous, I was broke, broke, broke. My roommate Denise suggested I start cocktailing, it was better, but I noticed the girls with big boobs were doing better than I was. I was flatter than a pancake, something I’d never thought much about to tell you the truth.”

I said, “You certainly don’t look like a pancake now, even with that big sweatshirt on.”

“Well, my great aunt died and left me a few bucks, so I took part of the money and bought myself new boobs. When I went back to work the money started rolling in, I’d bend over to serve a drink for 12 dollars and the guy would leave me a ten dollar tip. They’re idiots. Ten bucks for peek at the tops of a set of double D’s. Frankly, I couldn’t believe it.”

“Tell me how you got into radio?” I asked MB.

“Frank XXXXX, the GM of the station started coming in on a regular basis, the station had a trade at the bar and so he was a giant tipper, he’d leave me 30-40 dollars after one or two rounds of drinks. Over time, Frank started to hit on me and I’d put him off. It continued for months and months, finally out of frustration he offered me 200 dollars for a peek at my boobs. He paid and I showed them to him in the parking lot. After that he was worse than ever, he was trying to get me to sleep with him, so I lead him on a little and he offered me a job on the morning show as a sidekick. "I took it and its been great for me." MB said.

“You’d never been on the air before, right?” I asked.

“Right, but the two morons I work with didn’t care. All they wanted to do was tell dick jokes and talk about my boobs. Those idiots even wanted me to use Dee Dee Cupp as my air name. These morons would ask me questions like if I had ever kissed a girl. I’d answer, "why haven’t you? They didn’t know what to say." After a couple of weeks, I realized that the on line numbers were going through the roof because the pimple faced geeks who listen to the station were watching on line and were crazy to see my chest. If I wore a tank top the on line ratings would spike up 25-30 per cent. So I came up with a plan to capitalize on the rating increases. The idiots had never been better than 9^th in the morning. After I joined the show, we were fifth in the book and the on line numbers were the best in the market, so I cut a new deal with Frank and I couldn’t be happier.”

“You do your show from home now, how’s that working out?” I asked her.

“My friend Denise studied video production in college and she helped me wire my apartment for HD video and sound. She produces and we feed it to the station.”

“How does a typical morning go?” I asked.

“Denise turns on the camera and I’m usually sleeping in bed and the idiots from the studio call and I answer the phone at 6. I may have on a bra and panties, sometimes a station t-shirt, sometimes I sleep naked. I pretend I’m talking to them on the phone and answering their moronic questions while I roll around, showing the geeks as little as possible. Then I just go through a girl’s normal routine, coffee, juice, a piece of fruit, taking a shower, the audience loves that even though they see nothing. They go nuts when I put on lotion. They love it when I cook breakfast and do a routine about them sitting at the table with me. Frank wants to do a promotion where some jerk would actually come to my place and I’d make him breakfast. No way I’d do that.”

“What show got the biggest response so far?” I asked MB.

“The one where Denise and I were in bed together when the camera came on.”

“Wow!” How big were the numbers,” I asked.

“Through the freaking roof, Frank gave me a raise. Then Howard Stern called and wanted me to do his TV show, I told him to find somebody else to ride a sybian and hung up on him.”

“How do you get along with the guys on the morning show?” I asked MB.

She smiled and said, “Frank cut their pay to give me my last raise.”

I want to thank “MB” for her candid interview for our series. It was announced last week that her co-workers were being let go and the entire morning show would be broadcast from her apartment. MB is being paid the salaries of her former co-hosts as well as her own. Look for her show in syndication soon. She feels she’ll bigger than Stern ever was on the air. Her plans for the future, getting her PhD. Then , in her words “getting out of radio as quickly as possible.”

Getting Some Shit Off My Chest 2 point Oh

This is Jesus after viewing news clips from the Value Voters Summit, poor fellow seems to be upset doesn't he? He's probably thinking; first the Catholics and now these assholes! Maybe he ought to get his old man to bring some of that old testament hellfire and brimstone down on these posers. Of course if the old man hasn't knocked off Pat Robertson yet, maybe he's lost his mojo.

If you liked the foreign policy of the Bush administration, if Mitt is elected you'll get a replay. The entire neo-con crew is on Mitt's team including convicted felon Elliot Abrams and that evil fuck goes all the way back to St. Ronnie's Iran-Contra horseshit. You remember Iran-Contra, but Reagan didn't.
Some neo-con dick said today, "there would be no demonstrations in the middle east if Romney was President, they would have too much respect for him". These people are too fucking stupid to walking around on the streets.(or be allowed free air)

Speaking of the 'Values Voters Summit" the Romney campaign sent it's noted foreign policy expert, VP Candidate Paul Ryan (he personally stopped Kenosha from invading Janesville or vice versa, I believe.) Here's a line from his speech:

In the days ahead, and in the years ahead, American foreign policy needs moral clarity and firmness of purpose."

as Charles P. Pierce says: Mohammad. Lay down the struggle. The Americans have found someone to weaponize banality again.

By the way Ryan started running campaign spots in his district today....for congress! He's obviously all in with Mitt!

This is Bibi Netanyahu, he is the man in Israel, he is also dictating Republican Foreign Policy. If Mitt is elected this motherfucker will get us into a war with Iran and if you think the deficit is high now, just wait....we'll be adding another unfunded neo con war to the fire and with Romney's tax proposal on top of it, George W. Bush will be remembered fondly. Oh! Wait a minute, I forgot deficits don't matter when there is a Republican in the White House and I know it's true because fucking Dick Chaney told me so!

See this fat, drug addled bastard, it's Rush Limbaugh. Premier Radio has this crazy fuck on 600 radio stations. (What a country!) Premier is owned by Clear Channel. You know who owns Clear Channel? Lee and Bain. Yes, my children, that Bain, the Mittser's old company. Until a few months ago, Limbaugh hated Mitt Romney with all the fire of a million suns. Ahhh, not anymore. And they syndicate Sean Hannity too and that asshole has changed his tune, hasn't he? What did Hillary say about a "vast right wing conspiracy" again?

This is, of course Sunday Talk Show fav, Senator Lindsey Graham who said this week what the Republican Party needs is "more angry white men". I believe you have them all now, at least that's what it looked like in Tampa, you closeted freak.

Question, who will be the first Republican between now and the election to call the President a "nigger"? You and I both know it's going to happen.

That's it, I'm going to read a book, god dammit!
