Imus isn’t the real bad guy
Instead of wasting time on irrelevant shock jock, black leaders need to be fighting a growing gangster culture.

*** begin quote ***

I don’t listen or watch Imus’ show regularly. Has he at any point glorified selling crack cocaine to black women? Has he celebrated black men shooting each other randomly? Has he suggested in any way that it’s cool to be a baby-daddy rather than a husband and a parent? Does he tell his listeners that they’re suckers for pursuing education and that they’re selling out their race if they do?

When Imus does any of that, call me and I’ll get upset. Until then, he is what he is — a washed-up shock jock who is very easy to ignore when you’re not looking to be made a victim.

Here’s a fellow who nails why the RU women should have taken the high road imho.

RANT: The Guv’s crash

Friday, April 13, 2007

Now, I don’t wish harm on anyone. And I pray for a speedy recovery … even if he is a socialist.

N.J. Governor Critical After SUV Crash
Apr 13, 12:19 PM (ET)
By GEOFF MULVIHILL

***Begin Quote***

CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) – Gov. Jon S. Corzine was apparently not wearing his seat belt as required by law when his official SUV crashed into a guard rail, leaving the governor hospitalized in critical condition, a spokesman said Friday.

***End Quote***

I guess his security detail won’t get any doughnuts for a while.

What was he doing in Atlantic City?

Why was he going to the RU – Imus meeting? Did he think that these ladies couldn’t take care of one old washed up guy? Perhaps, he was going as the chief law enforcement officer to protect Imus from RU?

(I suspect it was a photo op!)

I wonder if he will give himself a 46$ ticket.

No one has said how fast anyone was going. Speed limit is probably 65. Take a lot of energy to throw an suv like that.

I’ve ranted before about the state and its minions on the roads before. This is just another example of it.

Now the Guv’s detail is usually two cars and bunch of troopers. And, the white truck disappeared like the fellow on the grassy knoll. Maybe they’d just prefer him to get away so there’s be no conflicting stories. Hard to believe a pick up truck could escape a trooper chase car.

Was their video in any of the cars? Maybe there was some careless and reckless going on unrelated to the mythical white truck.

Why do we have a governor anyway?

Now we will hear the drumbeat of why we need a Looney Tennent Guv. It’s not like we don’t have spare politicians running around with nothing to do. Maybe we could get mcGreasy and Wittless to combine as a caretaker office of “governors past”. At least we get something for the obscene pension they are collecting.

And what’s wrong with Cody doing double duty? It’s not like there are separation of powers issues. Just pass around the rubber stamps as usual.

Any way, I wish the Guv a speedy recovery. I have more questions about Karla-gate that he can refuse to answer.

RANT: RU cuts 6 teams including fencing

Friday, April 13, 2007

Good thing the Guv is OOC (Out Of Commission).

This morning’s “news” reported that RU cut 6 teams including fencing. “outraged” students and parents were looking for “gooferment action” to prevent it.

Hey, guess what, RU is the “gooferment”.

RANT: Reading my spam comments

Friday, April 13, 2007

Pretty sad. But I read my spam comments on my blog. Sad, when the spammers are the nicest things I hear all day. :-) Clearly, “we” need a life and better system for securing the internet. Till then AKISMET does a very nice job of identifying the trash.

RANT: Nice to see the Duke players “get off”

Thursday, April 12, 2007

Now who’s going to repay their parents for the reported ~1M$ each paid for legal defense.

I’d assume the taxpayers of North Carolina have the deepest pockets.

RANT: How Could I Live Without Filing Taxes … … pretty well!

Wednesday, April 11, 2007

“How Could I Live Without Filing Taxes?”
asks Carla Howell in song

*** begin quote ***

Carla Howell, sponsor of the 2002 Massachusetts ballot Initiative to End the Income tax, offers a suspiciously upbeat way to think about taxes with her song: How Could I Live Without Filing Taxes? – for you to listen to and use free of charge.

*** end quote ***

Ahh, my favorite strategy for dealing with the gooferment is make fun of them.

This is a real “laffer”. If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry.

Here’s a two minute reminder that you are not your gooferment’s slave. You imprison yourself by your own thinking.

The worst part of “income taxes” is not the money they rob from you and the time that they steal, but it is the other uses of that time and money for your benefit.

Argh!

RANT: Press mischaracterizes Imus response

Tuesday, April 10, 2007

imus_gets_the_old_heave_ho_national
news_john_mazor_and_david_k__li.htm?page=2

I think you erred in your article.

Imus didn’t get the “heave ho”.

(I’ve gotten the “heave ho”. And, it felt like being fired and there was no “ho” in the heaving.)

Imus got a “time out” in the popular parlance.

And, even that was “delayed”.

Wonder what Nanny911 would say to that?

RANT: Obama trying out for “quarterback”; let’s meet the “coach” who’ll be calling the shots?

LETTERMAN TO OBAMA: WILL HILLARY BE YOUR VP?
Mon Apr 09 2007 19:50:21 ET
To air Monday Night on CBS ‘LATE SHOW’:

*** begin quote ***

Obama: “You know, I think all the candidates are in to win and one of the things about the process is by the end of it, after having gone through all the debates and all the campaigning out in various states, people get a pretty good sense of who various candidates are and, but I think we’re all on the same team. We’re all Democrats. I think most of us want to see a healthcare system that provides coverage to everybody. Most of want to see an education system that gives opportunity to every kid. All of us think that we’ve got to start getting our troops out of Iraq, and so really what we’re doing is we’re trying out for quarterback…”

*** end quote ***

If he thinks he’s trying out for “quarterback”, then who is the “coach”? That’s the fellow we should be interviewing for the job as “president”.

RANT: Imus’ hateful words rebuked

Rutgers Team To Weigh In On Imus Comments
Rutgers Press Conference Set For 11 A.M.
POSTED: 7:16 am EDT April 10, 2007

*** begin quote ***

Members of the Rutgers women’s basketball team and coach C. Vivian Stringer planned to offer their feelings Tuesday on the gathering storm.

*** end quote ***

When I first heard this bozo’s comment, I was shocked. I thought he was trying for ratings. And, he got them. Everyone is talking about him and his comments.

For my part, I never liked the “shock jock” genre. Hence, I give no of them any of my valuable attention.

For the RU women, as a season ticket holder, I remind them “sticks ‘n’ stones”. Gratuitous opinions don’t make me what I am or am not. As far as their image, that is their responsibility. As far as how Imus sees them, that’s his problem.

I see strong young women who are finding their way in a difficult world. As far as their hairdos, I wish I had jet black hair again. As far as their sexual orientation, habits, or propensities, that’s no one’s business but theirs.

The comments of a clown should be “rewarded” with social ostracism. If all the moral outrage was turning off his show, his ratings would administer the ultimate rebuke. For my part, since I don’t listen to him and don’t like him, I can’t participate in the “turn off”. I can tell anyone who admits to listening that his comments reflect badly on them. When you fill your mind with trash, what would you expect?

I think that the marketplace should administer a strong lesson to Imus, MSNBC, and CBS Radio. For our part, we should ignore all of them until they DEMONSTRATE a change of heart.

I urge the RU women to take the high road. I’d just ask “what could he have been watching as they busted their collective butts to accomplish something”. I certainly didn’t see what he sees. And, I’ve been to a lot more games than he has.

RANT: 65$ permit for a hot water heater

Thursday, April 5, 2007

I just got a “permit” from the local komisars. For the privilege of playing the plumber to put in a hot water heater, the plumber paid on my behalf, a “fee” to the local komisar of plumbing 65$!

What for?

The local komisar is supposed to send a bureaucrat to “inspect” the installation.

Why would I want that? If I want the installation inspected, why can’t I just look at it myself?

Argh!!!

The gooferment is the only one who can force me to pay for services I don’t want!
