To Dope or Not to Dope?
10-10-07 Should there really be a question about that? I say there should not be!!
The powers that be, who ever they are, need to issue a statement that from that time forward there will no longer be any leeway given in cases where an athete tests positive in a standardize and agreed uppon testing procedure. If they are found to be positive then they are banned for life from any further participation in college or professional sports of any kind. WORLD WIDE.
Sound cruel and unusually harsh...too bad. Athletes need to clean up or get out..period!

Enviro Hypochondriacs
03-22-07 Let's see...back 20 or 30 years we we're cooling and it was an emergency. Now we're warming and it is an emergency again. Big Al says that the earth has a fever. According to the Earth Policy Institute's statistics the decade of 1890-1899 had an average temperature of 13.69C (the lowest) and the 2000-2004 average temp was 14.59C (the highest). Lets see thats 0.9C degree rise in 114 years. OK for all of the non metric folks thats 1.62F degrees. Hey Goreacle do you take your kid to the hospital every time they have a 100 degree temperature? Do you panic and get hysterical and say that your child's life is over? Well maybe you do, but most of do not. At 100 degrees most of us will simply observe our child and see what happens. When the temp goes down again we send them out to play again. If the temp goes up we give them some childrens Tylenol and a glass of orange juice let them rest for a while. If the fever continues to rise then we call the doctor. The whole temperature thing is pretty bogus anyway, just ask your doctor. I'll bet you 10 Carbon Offsets that he will tell you that 98.6F is not an absolute standard for every human and is a guideline. If you insist on crying wolf or the sky is falling or what ever the current cry of disaster is, I would prescribe an earth size Tylenol suppository and you can put it wher the Sun don't shine. Let me know Al.

Burn Your American Passport While You're At It!
03-21-07 While I am a hardcore conservative and support the WHOLE Bill of Rights I think that some forms of "Free Speach" need to be curtailed. The type of "free speach" depicted in the photo is one of those. Nothing enrages true Americans like the sight of our dead soldiers being defiled and drug through the streets of the countries they died to defend and set free from cruel oppression. To emulate the savage murdering terrorist who have mutilated our fallen heros that bring freedom to the rest of the world is an act that calls in to question your true feelings and commitment to this country.
You need to turn in your Bible and your passport from the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA become an Expatriot and travel to the country of your choice that hates this country as much as you do and ask them to become a citizen so you can hate us from afar. That way the next time you attack the United States you will be seen as an enemy of the State and can be delt with accordingly, finally and with extreme prejudice. Until you discover that you have the balls to take that action just STFU and learn to appreciate just how good you have it here and learn to love what you enjoy because so many of this countries best have fought and died to allow you to be the asshole that you are showing your self to be.

To Slut or Not To Slut?
2-12-07 How big a slut do you need to be to have us many as 7 different men claim to be the father of your child after your death? I guess the only way to settle the matter is to take a DNA sample from the baby and run it against every known DNA database in addition to the 7 potential dads.
How many of these potential sperm doners have even a microscopic bit of concern for the welfare of the baby or is it more concern for the $400 million payoff from the Texas oil an husband's will?

Global Warming?
2-2-07 Global Warming, are we sure? How do we know? How do we measure it? How do we measure the contribution of mankind?
As you can tell I'm not sold on the idea of Global Warming or the idea that mankind is responsible to any great extent. I believe that the earth warms and cools on a regular basis and that we as humans have not been on this dirtball in a degree of developement that could accurately monitor and record the changes. So in the absence of documented records for a period of say 50-100 thousand years I don't believe we can determine that our presence as an industrialize group has caused the catastrophic changes that the Greenies give us credit for. To this date they have not, to my knowledge, supplied any formulation to determine the exact effect of say 50,000 tons of carbon dioxide that we put into the atmosphere, or say 50,000 tons or methane gas from cow farts. Does it raise the earth's tempurature a degree over the course of a year? Which is more harmful Carbon Dioxide or Methane. Which is the most damaging, man's impact or the contribution of the world's active volcanos and that on occation blow the top off of a mountain and put more pollution into the air than mankind ever has?
The jury is still out on these and many other questions and until the scientific community can provide these answers without hesitation and disagreement I say we keep our cool and not go overboard making changes. After all it was a mere 30 years ago that these same people were telling us that we were in Global Cooling. Until they can make up their minds and give us solid answers I say leave well enough alone. Global Warming? I think maybe Gullible Warming!

Hillary Will Loose In '08
2-2-07 Although she has been trying to modify her image to be palatable to the masses I believe she has shown her true colors, and they are all RED . Take from the "rich" and give to the "poor". Not Robin Hood but the style of government we defeated in the Cold War. Hillary wants to TAKE the profits from "Big Oil" and put them in a Stratigic Energy Fund to develope alternate energy sources. A candidate for President of the United States who is trying to be the Hugo Chaves of the North is not electable. I believe that business large and small knows that if she can "nationalize" Big Oil then she can "nationalize" any business. It has been pointed out by those that are smarter than me that if you take their profits they would have no insentive to continue in that business. That would be a real smart move on here part! Oh yeah I'm sure it slipped her steel trap of a mind that the government already takes almost twice as much in taxes as the company makes is profits. Now she wants to take the rest too.
What is her rational for doing this? To reduce our dependence on forgien oil/governments? Let's try developing our own oil reserves first while safegaurding the local environment from destruction, which is quite doable. While the subject of oil is not always high on my priority list, personal freedom and rights are. This obviously is not a personal rights issue but it does lay the ground work for the American people to accept more government intrusion into matters where have no right to be involved.
Hey Hillary if you wnat to improve our standing in the world please stop the corruption and greed in the government on both sides of the isle.
If you need to appease someone then appease the Islamic world and remove the PORK from the exessive number of bills that get run through both houses of the federal legislature each year. But even if you do all that you still are not electable in my book, you are still wrong on my pet issues.

United Nutjobs
1-24-07 It has become very clear that nobody takes the United Nations seriously anymore because they are just a bunch of blowhard paper pushers. They have no will to put any teeth in their numerous resolutions and sanctions. They also have no determination to clean house of the corruption mongers who take every well intentioned program and turn it into a personal gain program for themselves. They can not keep their own house in order yet they want to control our lives for the greater good of the international community. My pet peeve is gun rights and the U.N. is in direct opposition to the views of me and the majority of Americans. The U.N. position of disarmament is of course the precursor to government domination of it's people. Don't believe me, just look back to the actions of the greatest tyrants of the world. Registration and then confication. Can't happen in America you say!! Just look to New Orleans post Katrina. The mayor and/or the police cheif decided that it would be a good idea to cancel out the 2nd Amendment and replace it with their own personal views on how the world should be. They conficated personal and legally owned firearms at gunpoint and by force. My guess is that the U.N. was just over the top pleased that New Orleans had fallen into line.
In my humble opinion we need to get out of the United Nations, evict them from our soil, and use our current contribution to them for the benefit of our own citizen's lives. In closing I offer my newest tee shirt design for your consideration.
"I DO NOT RECOGNIZE THE UNITED NATIONS AS AN AUTHORITY OVER ANY RIGHTS GRANTED TO ME OR RECOGNIZED AS MINE BY BEING A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, NOR WILL I SUBMIT TO THEIR ATTEMPTS TO CONTROL MYSELF OR THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."

Blue Pill or Red Pill?
1-19-07 Morpheus: You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.
Assemblywoman Sally Lieber D-Mountain View, CA is pushing the Blue Pill, control of your life by an outside force, in her upcoming legislation to outlaw spanking of your own children under the age of 3 years old. $1000 fine and upto a year in jail, is that realy fair for doing what our parents did with great succsess. The lesson I learned from the Black Belt, and learned in only one sesson, was that there are consequences to my actions. My parents were not child abusers and I did not turn into a serial killer because my parents employeed corporal punishment.
While a slap on the ass when the kid has done something wrong won't hurt, the continuing encroachment of the government on our freedoms is a bad thing and does hurt us all. Wearing seatbelts, motorcycle helmets, smoking in our own homes, whether we can defend ourselvss inside or outside of our homes and the list goes on and on. And now how we choose to disipline our children. To spank or not to spank is a question for each child's parents and should not be determined by the "STATE".
I choose the RED PILL. Tally Ho, down the rabbit hole!!

Let's Not Forget We Are At War - WWIII
1-17-07 Let us not forget the events of Sept. 11, 2001 and who it was that drew first blood. Let us also not forget what President Bush said after the attack. "You are either with us or you are against us". I take this to mean that if you are not turning in terrorist's then you are helping them and that helping them means you are one of them. The airstrike in Samolia was a good effort to kill AQ operatives there. I understand that some of them got away despite or because of our best efforts to be surgical about the strike. We are resistant to causing collateral damage and loss of life needlessly. This is all well and good, or is it? WE ARE AT WAR. The idea of war is to kill your enemy, as many of them as you can as quickly as you can. We did it right in WWII in the Pacific campaign when we used the A-bomb to cause enormous damage and loss of life at those two locations in order to save lives in the long run. So to operate in that mindset in the present conflict we need to locate terrorist targets and eliminate them where we find them along with the people that are helping them by not turning them in or running them out of town. In other words remove the locale from the face of the earth forever. Let's also not forget that we are the sole remaining superpower and we have paid dearly for that position. We need not be ashamed of it or shrink from using our power when needed. I believe that we must use the full measure of our strength and the use of that strength will deter future attacks like the damage and death that was inflicted on us not to end a conflict but to start or continue the conflict.
