WTF of the Week

So, I go home for the holidays, and all I hear about is this Goddam game called Apples to Apples. Now, the last thing I want to do is give this game, or this company, any sort of free advertising. However, I feel compelled to get this message out to my public, in fear that some of you may encounter similar situations. My mother could not stop raving about this game. Then I had to hear it from my Aunt. Then I had to hear it over Christmas dinner from another friend of he family. So, of course, after this game getting completely emblazoned into my mind - the first thing I did when I returned - I bought the game. Now, my wife and I are major major major game players. Our competitiveness is clearly our curse, as we have both lost countless friends due to heated exchanges over board games. Pathetic, I know, but the truth none the less. Just dying to break out this game, we set up a gamenight, and told our friends coming it would just be the greatest friggin experience in their lives. We went on and on, about our family members going on and on about this game. I could not wait. All of a sudden I was 6 years old again, and just saw that Santa Claus ate his friggin cookie. Seriously, my level of excitement to break this puppy out was completely off the charts.

The moment arrived, the doorbell rang, and I could not wait to get this shit started. I cut all that small talk bs out, and lead everyone to our dining room table. Cracked open the game, and dug in for the directions. The directions turned out to be about one paragraph long, and already the letters WTF began circling in my head. One person is the judge for the round...people select a card that they believe corresponds to the judges card...judge select card they like best to correspond...game over. Shoot me in the face. Clearly we were missing something, like I chose the wrong version of the game or something. We played a few rounds, it still sucked, and I proceeded to collect my guest's game cards, placed everything back in the box, and walked outside to my trash cans. I threw the gamebox so goddam hard into the trash can that the green and read cards came flying back out at me - like one last FU in my face. My mother was lucky for the time difference, cuz I wanted to give her a phone call as well. Bottom line, that game was the biggest piece of shit I have ever come across, and I hope this post will save some of you from the hype and propaganda.

Father Kills Daughter Over Traditional Garb

Yeah, let's just talk it out. Go get 'em Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, Sean Penn, and any other left-wing jack ass out there. Here, you have a father murder is own daughter because she wanted to look like the other kids, her friends, at school. His daughter wanted to dress differently from their traditional garb, and he f-ing killed her. Dead. I'm sure he is actually, a very rational man underneath it all. And, I am also sure that if you were able to sit down with some of his countrymen, Jimmy et al, you could cure all the problems of the middle east. These guys are just dying to talk it out, and then hug it out...

Yet Another Healthcare Misconception

In this article posted on ABC.com, you have nurses trying to further their bullshit cause by once again, lying to the public. To summarize, they attempt to use Dick Cheney's poor heart to draw parallels to those who are uninsured. They claim that without Cheney's terrific health insurance, he would have died long ago. How about giving some credit where credit is due? How about giving props to the greatest healthcare system in the world? This system that allows for illegal immigrants and the destitute to receive nothing less than the finest care in the world. I have seen the poorest of people in the world, people with social security numbers so fake, they have the wrong number of digits, receive nothing less then than the best products medical device companies make. My grandfather served his country proudly, and worked his entire life for a single company. He was as American as you can get. He now spends his life in a nursing home, without a single
asset to his name. The state even took his coveted Playboy subscription. And let me tell you, he is no better off than an individual that that crawled over the border 15 years ago, still speaking nothing but their native tongue. People that can't even afford a night at the movies will continue to receive the best medical products money can buy. My grandfather? He would receive whatever the VA or the facility he is resting in contracted out to the vendors. He will receive what ever products came in at the best price, the lowest price. The poor are at a disadvantage for many many things in life. But please, leave the healthcare issue alone, because it is a nightmarish quagmire of untruth. When people bring this shit up, it makes my blood boil, and people need to sift through the crap to uncover the truth.

WTF of the Week...

What the hell is this shit? For those of us who were major GNR fans, this will make you want to shoot yourself in the face. For those of you who were major Paul McCartney fans...who the hell am I kidding - you are not on this site. Anyhow, Fergie should really stick to shaking her fine ass while singing her bubble-gum pop music, because this performance was God Awful. I was a tad confused when I saw the standing O at the end of this face blast, but then I caught a glimpse of the "live audience." This may have very well been a warm-up to Bingo night.

Joe Horn Takes A Robbery By The Balls

For those of you who have not yet heard about this story - it is indeed a wild one. This guy, Joe Horn, is Texan, through and through. You can really see the difference in people that were raised around guns and hunting, because this guy did not pause for more than 2 seconds before squeezing the trigger. He saw a crime being committed by two despicable representations of human beings, and he filled them both with shotgun lead. I feel nothing for the two pieces of shit left squirming on the road with their backs blown apart - maybe that makes me less of a human being myself. I would like to think I would do the same thing. And, I take great comfort in knowing that people like Joe Horn exist. By this story getting out, and getting coverage, scumbags will think twice before stepping foot onto someone else's property. I guess you've got to crack a few eggs, to make a good "huevos rancheros"

WTF of the Week...

I mean, what the hell...

So, let's set the scene. Philadelphia Eagles (5-5) entering the hostile environment of the 10-0 New England Patriots. From the word "go" Andy Reid was doing everything in his power to keep the Pats' high-powered offense off of the field. And his plan was working. To add to the story, AJ Feely was having himself one hell of a football game. After his interception thrown on the 1st drive, the guy looked like friggin Joe Montana out there. Quite impressive. More impressive, was the Eagle's defense, working overtime to stifle the ever dangerous Randy Moss. On the night of the NFL's largest ever point spread ever, the underdogs were doing there part to shove it right the odds maker's ass.

Then, on the final drive, to lead his Eagle team to victory, AJ Feely was brought back down to earth. You see, this is what separates the greats from not-so-goods. In an attempt to bring himself straight to the top of the NFL headlines this year, AJ Feely decided to shit the bed. Only three points down, with all the time in the world, and already within field goal range - AJ throws up a 40 yard bomb, straight into the hands of the defender, and gives the Pats their 11th win of the season. AJ Feely was 4 minutes away from greatness, and would have had an entire cheese steak nation asking "Donovan Who??" Instead, he makes my WTF of the week. Strong work.

WTF of the Week

I am starting something new on the site. Every week, I am going to discuss the WTF story, person, or event, that instantaneously makes your jaw hit the floor. This week, I am going to make it very short and simple. After watching the Democratic debate, with their collection of complete misguided misfits, I realized that someone up there, really stood out like a champ. In a group that could easily be accepted as the Bad News Bears of politics, one guy would still be riding the pine - even if they couldn't field a full team. My choice for the WTF of the week -

Dennis Kucinich



Need I say anything more??

Barack Obama Protests the Pledge

Talk about a picture being worth a thousand words....Or, more importantly, how a picture can make you feel a thousand different feelings. None of which, will cause me to pull a lever for this disrespectful, and despicable presidential hopeful. While our beloved men and women still spill their blood for our freedoms, this man cannot find the desency within himself to show respect to our national symbol. I see the flag waving in the wind, and I get teary eyed. This guy just passes it off as he goes through the motions of campaigning for a job. I see the flag and I think of my friend, Michal Murphy, burried under the soil that he died fighting for. I think of all the sacrifices seen through the years, and those we shall see in the future. Freedom is not free my friend Barack. Neither are the hearts and minds of the American people. Actions always speak louder than words...F U!

Heros in all shapes and colors...

I thought this was worth seeing. Make sure you have your sound on when viewing, as the experience is pretty damn cool. Enjoy.

Hillary just sucks...

Are you kidding me? When does the f-ing deceit end? This pathetic excuse for a woman and presidential candidate, can't even get through a single press conference without partaking in underhanded behavior. Her entire existence is so forced and artificial, that she needs planted college students to ask her canned questions. How is she still even on the map for this race? When will her supporters realize that they are being dealt THE largest shit sandwich ever?? With a year to go, I am really looking forward to the flow of information. The Clintons should have disappeared after Bill left the White House without serving jail time. We'll see what happens after Kathleen Willey's book "TARGET" begins to get more attention... Does anyone else find it funny that Bill Clinton is at all of Hillary's campaign events, getting the crowd riled up? It is completely hysterical! Bill F-ing Clinton. I mean, just watch him as he walks toward the podium these days. No actual steps required, he just slides across, and leaves behind a snail trail.

Tom Brady is the Man!

Are you kidding me with this guy? I have been a long time fan of Tom Brady, and with each year, and each big game, I get more and more impressed. He just gets the friggin job done. Again, and again, and again. The game they lost to the Colts last year in the AFC championship? Well, I'm fully convinced his receiver just ran the wrong route, causing the interception, and loss of the game. Today's game was a perfect example of the guy just having pure ice in his veins. Most people, when they want something really bad in life, they hold on extremely tight, and it just completely renders them useless. Some people, the special people, take that desire, that fear of failure, and shove it straight up the ass of whoever, whatever, is standing in their way of success. On the road, losing late in the 4th quarter, hostile crowd, and Brady throws a 45-yard f-ing bomb to set up the go ahead touchdown. The guy plays with an absolute perfect blend of precision and reckless abandon. Sure the ball could have been easily intercepted, and they could have lost two in a row to the Colts. Truth is, those thoughts never even come close to entering his mind. Does not happen. Tom Brady is one of the special people.

Good Reading...

Here is a link to an article written in the New York Times, discussing some inaccuracies reported by our friends on the left. In their never ending attempt to utilize health care to gain political necessity, the subject of the Canadian health system and its perceived progress, takes center stage as exhibit A. This article will help to elucidate some of the more overused fuzzy figures...

F Yourself A-Rod

This morning, a friend called me, hoping that I could discuss a story he came across on espn.com. I told him I would look into it, and bring it to life if I thought it would be interesting to discuss. So, I opened up my laptop, went to the site, and searched the headlines for the story. Nothing. I called my buddy back, asked him once again to better explain its location, or send me the direct link. He happened to be away from a computer, so I was on my own to hunt this story down. The headlines alone were enough to drive me insane. However, once I finally read what I was looking for, the true heartbreak occurred.

I begin to read about a little boy from Michigan, a high school sophomore with a deadly case of Leukemia. I read on, and I am completely touched as I learn about the outpouring of community support and individual sacrifice that surrounded this courageous young man. I mean, just when I think the youth of America is completely screwed, I read about a high school making sure that a young boy doesn't leave this world alone and scared, but that he leaves this world as a King! One by one, each of the candidates for Homecoming king, removed their names from the ballot, and ensured that young Eli Florence would get the recognition and victory he deserved.


Eli Florence was a young man who's life was unfortunately cut very short by cancer. His spirit lives on through his mother, Trina, who has set up a foundation to provide support to families with terminally ill children. Like many other parents, Trina had to make the decision to forgo a career, and more importantly, a steady income. She believed that a dying child deserves every minute of their parent's time. Eli was also of this belief, and knew in today's world, that desire is often thwarted by overwhelming pressures and tremendous economic demands. Eli had come to grips with his fate, and knew God had a purpose to request him so soon. His last wishes were for his mother to pursue making his dreams a reality, and allow other moms and dads a chance to spend time with their children, before they leave this world...forever.



I continued to read some more on the story, and after wiping my eyes dry, I made the mistake of going back to ESPN's main page. There staring me right in the face, was a picture of Alex Rodriguez. The headline stated how this dick, and his piece of shit agent Scott Boras, are looking for 350 Million dollars from the Yankee organization. 350 Million Dollars. I just read an inspirational story about a young boy who will never see the 11th grade, and how his mom will never be able to work her way out of financial debt, and now I see this. If my company didn't own my laptop, it would be in pieces. Talk about a difference in life experiences...One kid's greatest night in life was to stand up out of his wheelchair in front of his classmates, with a Home Coming crown around his head. While another individual has the balls to request 350 million dollars to play a game. WTF? A-Rod, do yourself a favor, fire your agent, devote yourself to a team, and work like hell to create some sort of a legacy. Because honestly, in my eyes, YOU ARE SHIT! I hope to God you come across this story, or others like it, and it hits home. You are in the news for three reasons, and three reasons only, f-ing over baseball teams, f-ing up in the big game, and f-ing around on your wife. What a role model.

I apologize for the rant at the end - but it needed to be said.

We're almost a year out....

So, here we go! The race for the White House is about to drop the hammer, and start down that long final stretch. Of course we know who the early favorites for the primaries are, and I'm sure we are starting to draw our own opinions and conclusions on who we really support. I am hoping this blog will be viewed by both Democrats and Republicans, as we work together to better our understanding of the candidates and the issues. But, I have got to tell you. I have been considered a strong conservative republican for quite awhile now, and I may be making a change at the booth next year....



I mean, the more I think about it, the more my upcoming decision makes sense. The more video I see, and the more audio I hear, the clearer my and the country's destiny becomes. After all, we have already given away the state of California. I don't think there is much in the way of a discussion there.

We refuse to secure our borders from the thousands and thousands of illegal immigrants who continue to infest our beautiful land; and then populate like it was their job. By the way, how much longer until they can remove that BS law, that if you are born here, you automatically receive American citizenship?

We have completely lost sight of the fundamentals this country was founded upon. As the power of political correctness and protecting the weak, has officially eclipsed the premise of hard work and natural selection. Screw survival of the fittest, we are in the age of suppressing all that is strong and masculine, as reward and praise now go to those who need it most, not deserve it most.

We continue to pay a higher and higher percentage of our paychecks to fund programs that not one single individual reading this blog will EVER need or utilize. Most of these newer initiatives are designed to pay for all the northbound infestation I discussed earlier, as more and more money gets thrown at the problem instead of being invested into the solution. I mean seriously - shoot me in the face! I could continue, but I feel my blood pressure getting too damn high!

So, there it is. I figure in this type of country we live in today, who better to become our next president, than some superficial, insincere, untruthful, spineless, cackling bitch. I mean just listen to her, if that laugh doesn't f-ing scream qualification to become the leader of the free world, than nothing does.

If you haven't done so already, please view the clips at the top of the page.

Workout Etiquette

So, how about the guy who goes over to the dumbbell rack, carefully selects his weights of choice, and flashes the mirror his best blue steel? Instead of grabbing his weights, and walking to another area, this guy takes a very courteous half step back, and begins to do his lateral shoulder raises. I mean what the hell? And for me, it just ruins whatever I am doing, because I cannot look away, and I cannot help but to get pissed. I try everything. I'll concentrate on a single point of focus, I'll look harder into the mirror, heck, I'll even shut my eyes. But nothing works. I always feel as if it is my job to teach this guy a lesson. Hell, I could be on rep #2, and instead of finishing my set, I'll very casually walk towards the dumbbell rack, and select the weights smack dab in front of the inconsiderate bastard. Now I know this kinda makes me a prick as well, but we all have our pet peeves, right? The best is when the guy doesn't catch the drift, and I very casually make him move again by returning the weights to their proper spot. Baby games? Babygames.

California Wildfires

I mean, the last few days, I have felt like the end of the world was coming...

Sunday evening I walked out of a store around 6pm, and headed towards my car. Upon exiting, my eyes immediately shot up to the sky, and it was just God awful. The sunset was competing with immense plumes of blood red and black smoke. And I will tell you, the sun was a pathetic adversary to what I was witnessing. I was aware of the fires going on elsewhere, but nothing near my location. As I made my way to the top of the parking structure, there it was, all laid out before me. The vantage point I had was like no other, just devastatingly brilliant, and for a few minutes I was just mesmerized by the colors. Eventually, I came to my senses, and realized the direction I was looking...right at my gosh damn neighborhood. WTF! I threw my shit in the car, peeled out of the garage, and immediately phoned my wife. As I could have guessed, she was completely unaware of the tragic events taking place near our home. I told her to look outside, towards the east, and start thinking of which possessions would join us for our great escape. When I arrived, all the neighbors were outside of their houses, all with that same look upon their faces. That look that just screams - What the fuck am I supposed to do now? I listened as people hypothesized to how the firemen would battle the blaze, and their theories on an advancing wildfire. I figured it wasn't the appropriate time to then voice my opinion on how f-ing stupid I thought they were. Absolutely nothing worse in this world than an absolute dipshit, self-declaring himself as the village fire expert!

Everyone is just staring to the east, watching the orange glow come closer and closer to our brand new, beloved neighborhood. Then it got really good, as a couple more idiots decided they should go take a closer look, to get a "better feel" for the threat. Just what the fire department needs, a bunch of dickheads in their cars, driving up for a better view of the blaze, and getting in the gosh damn way. So, of course I did the logical thing - and I called "Shotgun!" As we drove closer, I realized just how fucking stupid people really are, as hoards of individuals had the same idea as we did. We were actually way under dressed for the apparent party, as people were turning this into a night of entertainment. People had lawn chairs out, sitting in groups, sitting on top of their vehicles. Blankets, coolers, the whole 9 yards! It might as well been the 4th of July. As for us, we didn't make it much further, and the fire...the fire just looked like hell itself was making a house call. At this point, I'm only thinking of two things. My new house is going to burn, and I know damn well i do not have enough homeowners insurance.

Needless to stay, I didn't get a lot of sleep Sunday night, as I was just waiting to hear the knock on the door to be evacuated. The smoke was becoming intolerable, as even the inside of the house was beginning to take on the scent. It's that same feeling you get when you wake up 30 minutes before your alarm clock is set to go off - can't sleep because you fear it going off any second. The next thing I knew, I really was hearing my alarm clock, and I went to take a peak out of the blinds. The smoke was all around, and was still shutting out the sun. I grabbed a face mask, and journeyed outside to get a damage report. Yes, the smoke was still quite overwhelming, as it was tough to keep its sting out of your eyes. But, through squinted vision, I could see that we had dodged a bullet. The wind, the ash, and the smoke, did manage however to really turn this picturesque area into a complete mess. Everything stunk, there was soot everywhere, and fallen tree limbs lined most of the roads.

It seemed like we really got lucky this time, but as I turned on the news, it was jaw-drop-time once again. Overnight, the perfect storm of arid conditions, Santa Ana winds, and brush fires, just did its job to kick the ever living shit out of this beautiful state. Fires had broken out all over the southland, and they were taking homes, they were taking businesses, and they were taking lives. San Diego was just getting killed, and by that morning, over 250,000 homes had already been evacuated. By the afternoon, the numbers had already trumped the travesties seen during Hurricane Katrina, and there was no end in sight.

Fast forward a couple of days, the fires are still blazing, and firefighters are working endlessly, tirelessly, to save as many lives and structures as possible. I think we can all agree, that this will go down as one of the major natural disasters of our time. People's lives have been forever changed, and in some instances, taken. People will be waking up all over the southland tomorrow morning without their homes, without their possessions, without so much as a single tangible memory. An absolute disaster. Now, I know it's early, and I could be proved wrong here, but where is the controversy?...Where are all of the people shouting at the top of their lungs, how these fires were ultimately the responsibility of George Bush's right wing administration?...More importantly, where are all the so called minority leaders, screaming for the heads of those in charge, who have so purposely fallen derelict of their duties to protect the wanting masses?...Will we see a telethon?...Who will be the first tearful celebrity to stand before a camera, asking the rest of the country to contribute to the cause?...Who is going to be the asshole this time, who voices his thoughts on how our President hates black people?...Or perhaps, in this case, because of Orange County and Malibu, maybe it's really the white people that he detests? These are all questions, that I will soon hopefully get answers to.

Please leave your comments below, as I am interested to see your thoughts on this matter.

Emergency Rooms

I am not sure how many of you have needed to attend an emergency room in southern California lately, but I promise you it is one hell of an eye-opening experience...

This is my first entry in my blog, so I'm not trying to make anyone too upset out of the gates. But, I just cannot help it, I need to voice my opinion on this issue. In my line of work, there is a need to frequent emergency rooms, and every time I leave, I'm all fired up and ready to assemble my picketing sign. It's not the proficiency of the doctors, as I'm always rather impressed by their level of engagement. It's not the capabilities of the the nurses, as I'm always rather impressed by their willingness to help. As a matter of fact, the real travesties of the ER do not even occur behind the often guarded doors. The real travesty seen in most ERs is that little girl sitting in the corner, waiting, wiping away tears, while the pain in her tummy continues to escalate.

You see, until now, these situations were mere hypotheticals in my eyes. I always knew there was a chance, but until now, the experience never hit home. Now, we're not talking about an ER in south central, LA. This was the scene at an esteemed institution, in a beautiful town, right on the outskirts of Los Angeles. My friend's daughter waited for hour upon hour, doubled over in pain, as family after family went in before her. More importantly, because of the numbers that many of these families traveled in, getting a seat in the waiting room was also an exercise in patience. Now, I am not saying that many of these patients before my friend's daughter were not equally as sick. But, what I will tell you is that there is zero chance of multiple children in a given family requiring immediate and emergent care! You see, ERs will not, and cannot turn away care. They will treat anybody and everybody that comes to their counter. BS!

My friend's 7 year old daughter eventually needed to have surgery to remove a burst appendix, and she waited while other children got treated for their sniffles and coughs. She had to wait in pain with a burst appendix while family upon family went in before her for their free check-ups. And I say free, because these people are not paying their hospital bill. Now you ask, how the hell could I ever really know this for sure? Truth is, I cannot. But more importantly, I do not have to. ERs are getting shut down all over the state, because hospitals are completely unable to collect on their bills. Unfortunately for the hospitals, it is very difficult to collect from individuals who do not exist. No taxes are paid. No social security is paid. No ER bills are paid. The liberals of this country, led by Hillary Clinton, stand on their soapboxes, crying out for the need for a national health care system. I say one already exists! And exists with the minimal funding the US government. This just shows the economic genius of the woman. Let's go out of our way to reduce the level of medical care in this country, and let's further burden the government with the cost of this standardized care. Just brilliant!

If you want test my claims, feel free to visit any one of your nearby hospital ERs. You actually owe it to yourself and your family to gauge the situation at various hospitals. This very important recon, could help you determine which hospitals have been labeled "bueno", and represent a longer wait. By the way, the account of my friend's daughter took place around 2pm. After 10pm, when the likelihood of being discovered plummets, the described situation worsens exponentially. Take home message - if you live in California, you pay taxes and have a social security number, make sure you get sick in another state, or make an appointment.
