OK, everybody. Take a deep breath now before you read on.
Raging fires burn Southern California, the headlines scream.
How many times do you remember reading these same headlines?
Or, how about this one:
Tornado’s rock _____ (you fill it in)
Or, better yet, New Orleans under 6 feet of water.
Ok, so you only read about New Orleans once. Big deal!
The main thing about all these headlines is that the continue to occur on an annual basis.
Nearly every year, California burns or has mud slides, Florida nearly gets wiped off the map by a Hurricane, and Kansas and Indiana still allow trailers, even though it seems that ‘tin sheds’ attract tornado’s.
Note to residents of these states, particularly California.
STOP REBUILDING IN THE SAME DAMN SPOTS, YOU IDIOTS!
How many times do people need to get beat over the heads to realize that…..YOUR HEAD HURTS?
And….I don’t want to hear that ‘Those poor people can’t afford to move’.
Maybe that applies to Kansas, but not Malibu. But, then again, those ‘tin sheds’ do have wheels, which you can attach to your $500.00 a month F250 with the racing package.
All joking aside, people have to wake up, to the fact, that there have always been fires and earth quakes and mudslides in California. Folks in the Midwest build storm cellars, not to keep their wine cold, but I might be wrong there. And Florida, and the gulf coast have been pounded by Hurricanes since the time of Columbus.
MOVE, for God’s sake. Stop raising MY insurance rates by your stupidity.
Sure beach front is nice, but not when it’s in your living room!

It took just eight decades but H.L. Mencken’s astute prediction on the future course of American presidential politics and the electorate’s taste in candidates came true:
On July 26, 1920, the acerbic and cranky scribe wrote in The Baltimore Sun: ” . . . all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most easily (and) adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

What we have learned today is this: The only difference between a Democrat and a Republican is that nether one likes you if you disagree with anything they have to say.
What we have also learned is that what ever you want people to read better be in the first sentence. It seems that the first sentence is the only one they either read, or the only one they don’t criticize.
And the biggest thing we have learned is that people will support a drunken, irrational, idiot simply because he fails to criticize the Party Line, sooner then someone who has an overall ‘Karnak’ leval of 98%. Well, so far this shit for brains closed 2 web sites and is currently working on number 3 . But thats OK. He has used so many different names that he is slowly burning out.
But I guess I’m just being ZenFull.

The $100 laptop project seeks to provide inexpensive computers to people in developing countries. The computers lack many features found on a typical personal computer, such as a hard disk and software.
“The last thing you want to do for a shared use computer is have it be something without a disk … and with a tiny little screen,” Gates said at the Microsoft Government Leaders Forum in suburban Washington.
“Hardware is a small part of the cost” of providing computing capabilities, he said, adding that the big costs come from network connectivity, applications and support.
“If you are going to go have people share the computer, get a broadband connection and have somebody there who can help support the user, geez, get a decent computer where you can actually read the text and you’re not sitting there cranking the thing while you’re trying to type,” Gates said.
Before his critique, Gates showed off a new “ultra-mobile computer” which runs Microsoft Windows on a seven-inch (17.78-centimeter) touch screen.
Those machines are expected to sell for between $599 and $999, Microsoft said at the product launch last week.
How nice of Gates making fun of a $100.00 computer, states that his software is a major cost of any computer and then unveils a $999.00 handheld.
What a Putz!

A Blog is a personal space where an individual can post, what they want, within the fair usage act, allow others to read and comment, and enjoy some community discussin. As with any opinions, not everyone will be pleased.
It seems that I inhereted some of those people, who wandered over here when I commented on articles from 2 other sites. Those are as follows,
Discuss It, and Bent Collective
. It seems that those, who attempted to run my site into the ground did manage to do so at
Discuss It
. Scott, the owner is throwing in the towel due to their malviolent behavior. There was even a great knashing of teeth and name calling when I cut the comment section off to that certain poster here. This, after I was told to exit his site.
So what is a blog? This is a blog. You didn’t pay 50 cents to read it, so don’t be surprised when the editorial section is closed to you.
And Al…….kiss my fat, hairy, ass.

Homophobia seeps across new EU

The Observer
He has been attacked by skinheads and threatened by police, and Szymon Niemiec sees life in Poland getting even tougher. ‘For gays and lesbians, today’s Poland is like 1930s Germany,’ he says. ‘We are ruled by a fascist party, which uses the same language and ideas as Hitler.’
As a prominent gay rights campaigner, Niemiec, 25, has long been a target for extremist groups, but since the election of the Law and Justice party last November he has felt a new wave of prejudice coursing through deeply Catholic, conservative Poland.

US has 727,304 homeless people nationwide: report
font size ZoomIn ZoomOut
Last year, the United States found 727,304 homeless people nationwide, meaning about one in every 400 Americans were without a home, according to the Human Rights Record of the United States in 2005 issued by the Information Office of China’s State Council Thursday.
The figures came from The USA Today published on Oct. 12, 2005.
“The Los Angeles County has become ‘the homeless capital of America,’ with the average number of vagabonds or people in shelters hitting 90,000 a day, including 35,000 people chronically homeless,” the report quotes an article of The Los Angeles Times on June 16, 2005 as saying.
“The United States dubs the world’s richest country, however, it maintains the highest poverty rate among developed countries,” the report says, given a study of eight advanced countries by London School of Economics in 2005, which found that the United States had the worst social inequality.
On the one hand, the report says, in recent years the fortunes of the rich have continued to rise in the United States. According to two new studies by Spectrem Group, a Chicago-based wealth-research firm, and the Boston Consulting Group, millionaire households (excluding the value of primary residences) in the United States controlled more than 11 trillion in assets in 2004, up more than 8 percent from 2003.
Meanwhile, the income of ordinary employees in the United States has seen a sharp decline, causing the increase of poor population. The data issued by the U.S. Census Bureau said that the nation’s official poverty rate rose from 12.5 percent in 2003 to 12.7 percent in 2004, with the number of people in poverty rising by 1.1 million from 35.9 million to 37 million, which means one in every eight Americans live in poverty. Poverty rates in cities such as Detroit, Miami and Newark exceeded 28 percent.
These problems indicate that poverty, hunger and homelessness are quite serious in America, worker’s economic, social and cultural rights are not guaranteed, the report says.

It seems that some doubt was raised by
Harvard Boy
that numbers, provided by experts are not as dependable as the theories he has developed himself. This is probably why the elimination of HIV will be so difficult, as Gay’s tend to listen to each other more than Doctors. They traditionally avoid the medical establishment until it is too late, thus infecting many more people in the process.
If you believe that HIV is a bigger problem overseas than it is in the US and Canada, you might as well just stick a hand granade in your pocket and pull the pin. Thats how fast your ignorance is going to kill you.
And for those of you who would think that the most likely place to catch HIV in America is SanFrancisco, or a city like NewYork, you wouldn’t even be close.
The US city with the largest number of people infected with HIV is Baltimore, Maryland. Mainly this is due to the number of research hospitals located in that area that specialize in prevention and treatment.
So, before you allow a nurse to instruct you on the best way to conduct your life, see a real professional who doesn’t spend his time correcting the facts.
I am not a professional, but then I don’t play one either.

NEW YORK (CNN) — Even though admitted al Qaeda terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui was behind bars on September 11, 2001, the U.S. government blames him for the 2,973 lives lost in the attacks.
The government wants this man dead, in the worst way. Not a drop of blood on his hands.
Where are all the celebraties who defend crminals, jailed for proven murders they committed?
Where is Mike Farrel?
An email sent to Mike after that last Californias execution for the gang leader, asking his justification for not being as supportive of the soldiers who were being killed daily, in Iraq…..went unanswered.
Apparently war is OK.
Tell you what. Like this man, I was nowhere near New York on 9-11. Nether was My Little Goat, Bush.
Why not kill us too?

It appears that the party, Hamas has won the Palestinian elections. This is the party that states that Israel has no right to exist.
In response to this news, pResident Bush stated that he will not support any terrorist run government.
Not only does he support many of those nations, but he is also running one.
You would really think, that after 5 years in office, the dumb shit would think, before he spoke.
