What a Day

What a day

A trip can start good & end bad or start bad & end good... If your really fucked up it will start bad and stay that way.   When that happens all you can do sit back and try to withstand the ass kicking you are about to receive.   Think of having Nixon as your president today and Agnew for two terms as well.  Yea that bad.
Like a black man living in Sanford, Fl it's not fun.

Hoodies & Skittles have never been so famous.  Thanks to the killers at the NRA we have another shooting in Fla. excuse me, "stand your ground" killing.  Thanks to FLA shoot a minority law the NRA has pretty much legalized human hunting.
Maybe the "Hunger Games" are true??

The NRA just doesn't get it.  I think we all understand and believe in the 2nd Amendment, maybe not as much as the NRA does, it is in the Constitution.  But what most normal folks don't get is why "Cop Killer" bullets, .50cal side arms and semi-automatic weapons are allowed!  What is there a Deer out there with a Kevlar Vest & rocket launcher?  Is there a massive call by the GOP to storm the white house and over throw the Democrats?  Has Rush really brainwashed  the trailer park crowd into revolution?  Beside the mentally unbalanced no one believes any of it!!!

Beer tastes better when bottled.

Jeb

Jeb

After a few crappy contest the former Fla Gov. Jeb Bush finally came out of the office to support Mitt.  Wow big reach there kind sir.

During the Fla primary you only said  "go to time out boys" after a few mean spirited attack ads.  You could have said more... It was almost WWE smackdownisqe, like when Triple H plays the good guy when we all know he's gonna smack Shane with a chair when he turns his back.  Yep, the Republicans are the WWE party.

Mitt's bad week was only made worst by some dumbass saying that the primaries are like a children's game that hasn't been a top seller since the late 1960's.  Ricky, the Homophobe, helped save Mitt from himself by saying that President Obama was a better choice than Mitt... Well Ricky, your right on that one.
Once again, please watch the WWE for next weeks Republican story line.

You ever pay attention to the lovely Tampa area "Street Employees" those that sell the newspapers on street corners & intersections.   Those hard working folks are the ones looking for a tax break. The Republicans tax cuts are meant to help them but taking away BiG Gov't regulations, like "No Panhandling" laws.  It's hard to stand at the corner of Gandy & Dale Mabry and sell Newspapers in today's economy. Not to mention the pressure of on-line reading, illegal immigrants, rain and drug abuse.  Drivers pass by telling them to get a job....hey! They have a job, Good Sir.  And it's not even a union gig.

The Shark is Warm

The shark is warm and ready to run again. The warm moist air of the bay hangs heavy in its lungs. Wheels hot & sticky from a good long run chasing the American Dream.  If your not in Mitt's class your destiny is already written.  Your 5,000sq ft house is filled with the latest crap from Best Buy and your car is German/Euro trash. The same Euro Trash the shark searches out for lunch.

The great american banking system is slowly making a comeback thanks to a Democrat, even the Maverick lends a nod to Obama.  The sad part is its our fault, no party put us here we did it yourselves.  Maybe this  changing of the guard is a good thing.  Maybe we finally saw that the work our Grandparents did was really hard work and Credit Default Swaps aren't real money.  Apple is on fire now but in a few more years it will be MicroSoft...a low class stock, not unlike we Americans.

Luck

Luck

Ah the luck of the Irish, I got lucky and a host of other "lucky" phrases fill our language.  That's not even touching "lucky" items people seem to value so much.
There is no luck, only effort, for to be truly lucky you need to put yourself in position to get lucky.

After watching Game Change I find even more reasons to never vote for a Republican, ever.  And if you have read the book you know the Democrats don't look much better.  The HBO movie used Sarah because well, she's hot and the girl sells! The smallest chance of the Alaska Gov becoming President should make you very very scared, as well as make W seem like Reagan....ok ok bad pun.

The past few weeks I have spent some time with the under belly of Tampa & it's people.  The type that feel those with Jobs owe them something...like a check.  The same people who can work but chose not to because the pull of blunts and another baby mama is too great.  Many of them had a future and if they only would have zig'd instead of zagging they could have been something.  No, now they look to bring us down to their level.  Maybe they have a point.  Maybe it is our fault.  You do it, yes you do!  You only talk with "your kind" when out in public.  Heck, you started this crap when you were in grade school, while playing chess with the nerd at home & then slamming that same nerd/friend into a locker while at school.  Keep this in mind, that same nerd may very well have been the one who created the "Shake Weight" and chuckles every time he watches you use it.

Abortion & The Right Wing

Abortion

Gas prices going higher, banks failing and a world wide recession bringing entire countries to their knees.  Sounds like a great time to campaign on social values, doesn't it?  The current state of the republican presidential field seems to think that a 8% unemployment rate, a war in the middle east and real wages dropping like a rock is no real concern. WE MUST STOP ABORTION! And NOW

The funnier part of this mad dash to the bottom is The Right Wing's public face on this issue...not a single female face.  Somehow the Republicans keep finding a way to show how nuts they truly are.  Jeez, what if women were in charge and demanded a rectal exam for men purchasing guns?
What's the connection? There isn't one but the same can be said about Republicans recent attacks on abortion/the Pill and most other forms of female health care.
Rush "Blowhard" even went on "Rushmode" demeaning a Georgetown Law Student, who's only crime was supporting a provision in the Affordable Health Care Act.

The true issue to me is... It's a female choice.  Not a male choice, it is a control issue for men of power.   The day I see Hillary, Sarah, or Ann come out and say no to all abortions I will change my mind. Maybe.   Because in the end it's still a women's choice.

Sure what man doesn't want a return to the 1800's where the wife/girlfriend or both listened and did "just as they were told".
Yea, right that's why there are more able body men staying at home these days sucking the life out of their girlfriends like a pimp.
Maybe we becoming a country of whimps.

Tampa 5th Place????

Well, we are getting better in the bay area.  But still not good enough!!  Even a Bass Pro Shop and its $15Million Tax break/pay-out from Hillsborough County may help. Just what Brandon needs, another shopping center!  The recent ranking of Southern Cities puts Tampa in 5th Place, Dallas in 1st Place and who really cares where Jacksonville ranks-its in Georgia!
Transportation in the Bay area was ranked better than years pass, surprising to anyone who travels I-275, but its nice to know we are making improvements.  The Biggest spot for concern is the area's lagging innovation.  Raleigh-Durham is cleaning our clocks in venture capital it wins and by wide margin.  With USF Medical & Moffit growing we need to seed that growth to compete.  This once again shows why JD Alexander's "Polk Poly" cram job is the wrong move.  Let's hope that the BOG choses not to follow JD's plan, filing it under "SandScript/Lost Languages".  USF & HCC can be and are some of the Bay area's biggest & best innovation drivers.  With out those schools, I for one, would find it hard to see us even ranked in the top 5 for innovation.

Chevy Truck Month & The WWE

It's Chevy Truck month and you too can get 0% financing on a new Chevy Truck, or just sit on the couch as America runs down this dusty road.  By the way, Ford may be heading down its only road 1st paved by Toyota...cars driving on their own.  What will Google think of next?  Maybe I, Robot was real.

Good news on the election front Mitt won the island vote and is now only a few steps closer to facing Obama and his merry band of hopesters.  Mitt now heads to Alabama & Mississippi vowing that he loves grits & catfish.  The man has eaten more catfish over the past few days than a Chinese man a Alabama fish fry.  The Northeastern Gov. Is even dropping his accent for some good'ol american English y'all.
Rick & Newt keep on Believe'in in a Tampa surprise, leaving Republicans with nightmares of 1980 all over again, it's a good thing President Ford isn't around to suggest a Co-Presidency.

If things weren't bad enough, the WWE has brought back the Rock.  SmackDown is rocking the USA Network beating many network TV shows during its prime time time slot. America is in trouble and the Rock is back to make it all right, stop me if you've heard this story line before...Hulk Hogan anyone?????
If the right truly wants to win and crush the Democrats they should look up and pay big bucks to Vince & his writers. The WWE demo is 100% Republican...it could work

Journey

Part 7
The New Place is suppose to be the Cool Place, the Place were you were there 1st.  The Place you helped make into the Best Place.  The election of 2012 is missing that catalyst.  Like a Friday night when you & your friends are looking to go out and no one can decide about where to go.  You end up sitting at a High Energy Night Club trying to talk about Jimmy’s grades and no one can hear you.  You just sit there looking at the others having a good time, no one seems to care.  Mitt knows this feeling well.

The Shark is out on the Highway again, lurking behind an old a Caddy happy to follow an American Classic.  Journey is new again all be it with out Steve Perry but still just as good, Don’t Stop Believing  or When the Lights Go Down in the City, either one can be America’s song. Even if there is not a South Detroit.   The shark is  going to pass on the new music and opt for the classic’s.  Aw, the Caddy does look good, wide wheel base and fish tail fenders reaching out to grab what’s rightfully its own.  The Silver Shark needs to move or at least eat what’s in front of it and makes the move to over take the Caddy pushing over 100 MHP.  The windows slide up to stop that crushing sound in the cockpit, making the Sound in the car a wall of sound, motor/bass/drums and Steve Perry…Don’t Stop Belive’in.   Maybe Obama likes Journey too.

Well, Mitt hit the Lotto

Well Mitt hit LOTTO in Michigan & Arizona.  Now comes Super Tuesday and a possible big finish. Well a big finish if you count winning by 3%!  Rick Santorum would have better luck with Lindsay Lohan without the sweater vest.  Newt, well we all know that story is not even Skinamax worthy.  Which leaves your crazy Grandpa- Ron Paul!  Yes, good'ol Ron Paul the man with the “Golden Plan” the gold standard plans.  The plan that was so great Nixon dropped it.  Now there is a Great Leader- Nixon! The man believed in loyalty and the reward for that loyalty was prison.  Yes tricky Dick was good at one thing and wiping his ass with the US constitution was only his 1st act.  The very same act that was perfected by W. There is nothing like a terrorist attack to bring a President to rip up a 200-year-old piece of paper.  Not that Obama has chosen to tape it back together either, our current President has chosen to continue the trend by killing via drone.
Maybe Skynet is real?


The rain stops and the silver shark wants to run in the black water. It's warm splashes ring deep in its soul.
The sound system is blasting a soundtrack from the age of Nixon, Grand Funk Rail Road- We're An American Band!!

Ah nights at my Neighborhood bar, my friends get hammered to forget what they have become, drunk from the excess of the Go-Go Real Estate Market that made Florida.  Drugs & Alcohol only mask the true person inside for so long, one day the true person comes out and it is rarely a good picture. For back up on this point please see Rush Limbaugh!  The man is what the right wing has become, drunk, pill addicted and insanely pushing for a time when Whites ran the world.  These friends have money to invest but found it better to hit on young damaged women who have one hand on their “Johnson” and one hand in their wallets.  Its too late from them, Its Obama’s fault.  Even if the wealth they compiled was done so during the corrupt policies under President Bush.

Maybe a better view of our current world is Yahoo….Do you remember AOL 2.0?
