second guessing

what was your first guess?

can one really base his or her decisions on an "ends justifying the means" philosophy? " No harm, no foul" ..?

The Picture Atop This Blog

2008-08-26T00:22:00.000-07:00

I was asked why I'd put such a picture atop my page. Am I Anti-American? No. I being an American myself, with no intentions of leaving America, am quite Pro-American. For starters, I hate flying. I'm also not really too keen on learning a foreign language. Don't get me wrong, it'd be great to be able to speak another language or two. I just don't have it in me to try. Sure, if I were forced to live with another people I'd either learn the language or die an old lonely man in virtual obscurity. I say virtual because I would assume being in a non-English speaking country and not knowing the native language would not be conducive to non-rape sexual encounters. And.. yes, that was an internet pornography reference if you were wondering.

There are people in the world that burn the American flag. Often times in massive public displays. I won't say for the most part, because I haven't been many places around the globe. That would be an assumption and a typical tactic of say... the national media. Telling you something, but giving you no evidence of its truth. Just trust them. You've been trusting them for years. The News! Who else is there to trust?

People in other countries display their hatred for America by burning the flag in public. Now, I again assume this often happens in countries that we consider to have unacceptable citizens rights. Assume a citizen in Iran is burning the American flag. We say the rights of the people in Iran don't meet some sort of standard. Women don't have the same rights as men for example. I can't say it never happens, but how often are there large public displays in America of its citizens burning another counties flag? The only flag burning that is ever debated in American news is the U.S. citizens burning their own flag.

So far we know this: 1. People in other counties burn the American flag in Anti-American displays. 2. Americans burn American flags in Anti-American displays.

Now, using my community college (dropout) education, I can logically deduce that: Some people in America are Anti-American and some people around the world are Anti-American. Therefore, the American government is making some people unhappy.

That doesn't seem like a very good reason to make drastic changes in ones government. We are only making SOME people unhappy. What is the value of the words of these other counties people? What is the value of the opinions of ones own countrymen?

This all began by mentioning the picture at the top of the page. Is it Un-American? A lot of super liberals will argue that the text books in America give a skewed vision of History. Every story shows America playing the role of the good guy. The rest of the stories weren't written down. I imagine this isn't all that different that any other country in the world. I also would go so far as to say it would be embarrassing to tell our children any stories indicating anything else. The people that founded this country may not have been perfect. Hell, we killed almost an entire race of people. But after that the intentions weren't too bad. I like to give the founding fathers a break and say they lived in a different time before such atrocities were viewed in the manner they are now. No excuse.

The point is the people writing these books are ashamed. Americans are ashamed of what we do. But we'd rather ignore it. We hide it behind HD TV's, conveniences, pornography, money and the pursuit of the American dream. These things are hidden in the faces of celebrities. The burden of being an American celebrity is soaking in all that attention when you know you are only serving to distract your fellow Americans from the war and their own depression.

Vote for Obama. Maybe he wasn't really born in American. Maybe he is part of Radical Islam. Maybe you'd like to direct racial epithets at him. Maybe he's just a guy who tried to help clean up Chicago and has the charisma to convince us doing such things are worth doing. Who the fuck knows what will happen if a fairly young, fairly black man is President. I know I've seen numerous movies and several hit TV shows in which a black man was President. We dream about it on TV so we can think we are politically correct. Just another dream we live through celebrities. The people we imagine we are. Why don't we take the chance? Do we really want things to continue the way they've been? I'd rather an Islamic-Negro raises the dead, summons Satan and announces he is the Anti-(American)Chirst than sit through at LEAST four years of the boredom and all whitedom of John McCain.

So to you former Hilliary Clinton supporter and to you Upper Middle Class White man intimidated by recent EOE hirings at your office: Can we take a chance here? Yes. We. Can.

my economic stimulus package

2008-08-21T21:05:00.000-07:00

Its no secret that the American economy is struggling. Obama has a plan, Mccain has a plan, Bush had a plan. We've yet to see the President to be's package in action, however, we have seen Bush put his package to the test. W's economic stimulus package gave us all an extra 5 or 6 hundred extra dollars for beer. I'm not one for statistics but I'd assume during a recession beer sales sky rocket.

Beer is beside the point. This isn't about other peoples stimulus plans, this is my plan to stimulate the economy. (This is where you should stop reading if you don't have a sense of humor.) Jews. Jews are the answer. Jewish people have been stockpiling money for years. Add the 600 dollar per person stimulus check and the Jewish-American savings fund is likely larger than what Americas future majority, the Latinos, will make in a collective lifetime.

Americas big corporations need to start marketing to the Jewish population. If we could just get the Jews to break the savings account open and spend some cash, the trickle down (Jews being on the top of the monetary waterfall ) effect may for once be effective. W's idea was as follows: Giving every average working American an extra 600 dollars will encourage more spending, more money flowing through consumer based non-necessity business. Unfortunately, what W didn't remember was that he was allowing Oil companies to record their largest profits EVER! Therefore, instead of spending said stimulus checks on Indo-china made electronics at best buy, Americans filled their tanks as to make it to work in the morning. Americans hid that money under their mattress for winter when their heating bills overwhelmed them.

So there it is. Giving the average American extra money will only lead he or she to spend it on desperate everyday needs such as gasoline and... food! Both of which have, as we all know, seen dramatic price increases. So this goes out to you Jewish people: Tap into your savings accounts and cash in those office sized water cooler jugs full of change! Invest in the struggling pork market and prove you are gods chosen people when you donate all the inedible swines meat to charity! Get out there and buy the cd's that your dollar funds, get your wife a new diamond ring from your family owned shop. Send all your savings into the pockets of the other jews that own the other successful American businesses!

Umbrellas

2008-08-21T14:42:00.000-07:00

Every so often here in New York the sky grows dark and the mobile tents pop up everywhere. A light sprinkle is all it takes. Suddenly a barrage of weapons are pointed squarely at my jugular, unbeknownst to the weapons wielder. Being over six feet tall in a sea of multicolored circles of death is no picnic in central park. A slew of inconsiderate people carry family sized umbrellas for their personal use. Is there not an etiquette to carrying these instruments of death? What ever happened to the umbrellas of yesteryear that were see through and curved down over the carriers head? Maybe one day one of these lesser heighted New Yorkers will encounter a midget carrying an over sized umbrella and feel the sheer terror as one of its pointed metal tips comes flying at them at eye level. So to you fellow New Yorker: put down your umbrella and enjoy the rain! Splash in a puddle or two. Your just for men hair color won't run in the rain the way I run and duck for cover as you stare at the ground, paying no attention to the fact that the spiked tips of your mobile tent are drawing ever nearer to my eyes and throat.
