Why this Country needs Population control.

Plain and simple, if this country had a population control program then we wouldn't have half the problems we currently have. This is the year 2008 and there is no place for women that continue to do nothing in life except be a baby making machine.
Women who pop kid after kid out and then don't, or in most cases won't work and expect the taxpayers to take care of them through government programs. So then they can get that check each month and after hitting the local buffet with all 9 kids or more in tow, they migrate to Wal-Mart to blow the rest of your money.

Other countries have programs setup to limit how many children a couple can have to control overpopulation and it's about time we did here. These large families are usually made up of parents that have no concept of what they are doing and treat the kids like shit. I saw one welfare momma grab her baby out of a highchair at my work. She grabbed the child's arm and lifted the porky little brat up by her arm! I'm surprised the kids arm didn't pop out but I'm sure the kid was used to it by now.

This kind of behavior makes me sick and it should be legal to be able to walk up to scumbags like that and punch them right in the mouth. Most people like this are rude, lousy tippers and allow their children to run freely throughout any business they may be loitering in at the moment. This has got to stop! I for one am all for sterilization for certain people because some weirdos don't need to be spawning offspring!

You may think I'm being harsh but think about it next time your in Wal-Mart just trying to buy that one item and your behind Big Bertha and all her damn Bebe's kids.

Every Christmas party is exactly the same.

So this past weekend my wife and I attended her work's Christmas party. All these parties are the same. Everyone starts off to themselves except for a few that have already hit the alcohol. Then the food is finally served which is the main reason I went, the free food!
Then of course after some gifts are given out and then the music starts and that's where the fun begins.
No party where there is dancing is complete without the Electric Slide and to nobodies surprise it was the fourth song played.
Of course the only people to dance to this shitfest is all the ladies, any gay men and the random straight guy that gets pulled out there by one of the hooches.
After having to endure that timeless and completely worthless dance song, up next is The Humpty Dance. This is another song no party is complete without.
Now to this songs credit, every hot chick in the place will shake their ass nicely when they hear this one drunk or not.
The evening continues with the party popular song Ride the Train. I'm betting this DJ's cd album has nothing newer than 1996 songs.
So that was it for me, after winning no gifts and listening to every song I heard at my Senior Prom in 1992 it was time to go home and come back to 2008.

The Daily Breakdown - 12.5.08

I could just say "finally," and get it over with, but what would be the fun in that? Thirteen years to the day O.J. got away with murder, the NFL Hall of Famer was sentenced to 15 years in prison for his role in a kidnapping and armed robbery at a Las Vegas hotel in September 2007, a half-assed attempt to regain some of the memorabilia from his football days. Simpson had been convicted on all 12 counts by a jury this last October. Simpson, who during his statement in the sentencing part of the trial, said "I'm sorry, somewhat confused," had to be thinking "but my utter douchebag of a lawyer told me I'd walk on this one too." Judge Jackie Glass, before imposing a complex sentence of consecutive and concurrent punishments, told Simpson his actions were "much more than stupidity." Simpson, who was also denied the chance to be free on bail pending appeal (like we all know he wouldn't have booked it to a non-extradition country faster than he hurdled shit in a Hertz commercial), will serve a minimum of nine years before being eligible for parole. This means he'll be at least 70 before he could see the light of day again. Here's to hoping he doesn't even make it that long, although it would be amusing to see the prison-style tabloid pics of Simpson yukking it up with his new friends and drinking some vintage homemade booze while getting some tits tattooed on his back. The Shawshank Redemption, it ain't, but nothing's too good for this douchebag.

Speaking not only of douchebags, but guys who should have been in jail a long damn time ago, Bob Novak's brain tumor, the most ironic of all afflictions HE could have suffered, was back firing on all cylinders, as during an interview with the National Ledger recently, the columnist said he would out former CIA agent Valerie Plame again if he could go back and do it all again, adding he didn't think he hurt her whatsoever. Yeah, and he's probably still in denial about running over a fellow geezer with his Corvette, too. Probably tried to pull a Cheney and make the guy he ran over apologize for fucking up his detailing. Novak's reasoning for outing Plame again, if he had it to do all over again, was that the "left" in the media and Congress had tried to "ruin" him. Yep. That's exactly like saying you ruined a turd by stepping on it. Here's to hoping that tumor gets off its lazy ass and finally sends Novak to the dumbass wing of hell, where he rightfully freakin' belongs.

So, two neighborhoods in Milwaukee are kicking around the idea of printing up their own money. My first thought, on reading this, was, WTF? Not exactly the best answer to the recession, and just how the hell are they supposed to pull this off. Running dollar bills through a photocopier and writing "The United Neighborhoods of Milwaukee" on them? Apparently, the "local" dough is an idea to increase spending at neighborhoods stores and businesses, as in an example from the story, they could trade $100 real money for $110 in local currency, basically getting a ten percent discount from the businesses taking part in the plan. Reminds me of the "coupon" bit that comedian Ron White does, talking about going to an Octoberfest in Wisconsin. Not to mention, how many local businesses are really going to get in on this? If I am to believe there will be a strip club in Milwaukee taking "coupons" for lap dances, there may finally be a realistic reason for me to go to Milwaukee, or Wisconsin period, for that matter.

Ah yes, let the pettiness continue...with all the half-assed rambling going on that President-elect Barack Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States, leave it to the most half-assed Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court to throw his three-quarters of a cent into the mix. Justice Clarence Thomas, best known as the premier seat-filler on the high court for maybe having only said four words the entire time he's been there, has asked the other Justices to consider a lawsuit that questions the citizenship of our soon-to-be 44th President. The matter has actually been scheduled for a conference tomorrow, leading me to wonder if the Supreme Court has ran the hell out of sensible matters to look into, and if so, why they are following the lead of the most disinterested stone-faced mute to ever occupy space in the highest level of our judiciary.

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to facepalm...former Florida Governor Jeb Bush is mulling over whether or not to run for the U.S. Senate seat Mel Martinez is going to leave after 2010. While it seems by far and large margins that Jeb is the least repulsive of the Bush offspring, one has to be curious to his chances. His older brother is currently holding simultaneous spots as not only the worst president in the history of this country, and judging by the GOP's performance, a big time political liability, and you know that fact has weighed in on Jeb's mind. Sure, a 2006 Quinnipiac University poll showed that 57% of Florida voters thought Jeb was a good or great governor, but that very same poll had 59% of those same voters disapproving of the job Dubya was doing. I want to see a poll taken in the here and now, showing what not only the voters in Florida, but voters across the country think about the prospects of yet another Bush remaining in public office. I for one, welcome a day when the Bush political machine, if ever it could have been called such, finally sputters to a stop.

Closing out today's column with failure of a different sort, James Pischel's attorney, public defender Matt Graff, argued to the Supreme Court that Pischel had been entrapped, by a Lincoln police investigator posing as a 15-year-old girl, by the use of emoticons, even after Pischel had supposedly tried to break off online contact two months prior. Pischel was busted in June 2007 after trying to meet the girl for sex near a public park in Lincoln. So let me get this straight...some dipshit guy working as a state corrections officer gets busted for trying to hook up with a 15-yr-old girl, and he is going to blame the emoticons the cop used? Dumbass said he tried to break off contact online, and that's all well and good, but why the fuck did he go try and meet the chick? Never mind your Ps and Qs...maybe you should have minded your :)s or your ;Ds instead. What makes this an even bigger fail in my book is the fact Pischel had already served out his 1-2 year sentence, having been released in late-October. If they weren't going to pay this any mind then, what makes you think it's gonna hold water this time around?

You can either drink space beer, or pour it on your burning apartment...

Space beer? Kind of. Mentioned around the Internet, the beer was made from barley grown on the International Space Station in 2006, so it's actually a terrestrial brew, although I suppose you could argue it was made from "space-age" materials. My first thought on reading this was "well, they need something to wash the taste of recycled urine from their mouths, so more power to them," so you could imagine my disappointment for the crew on the ISS when it was revealed the beer, a joint effort of the Russian Academy of Science, Japanese brewer Sapporo, and a Japanese university, was concocted here on Earth. I mean, come on, you guys built a space station, and you can't even sneak some spare parts up there to make a still?

While I find great fun on my talk show of poking fun at the United Kingdom, notably Britain, for some of the incredibly stupid things they do, usually under the more-than-watchful gaze of the government, sometimes stories slip through the cracks on me, and I have to play catch-up. The town of Bournemouth, back in March of this year, took the extraordinary step of banning fire extinguishers from apartment complexes, calling them a safety hazard. But of course.

This move has created a square dance of sorts between several government agencies in Britain, as first, Dorset Fire and Rescue defended the idea, saying new building regulations mean every escape route should be completely fireproof. Oh, really? Well then, riddle me this, dumbass firefighters...if the escape routes are supposed to be completely fireproof, then how come the entire fucking building cannot be completely fireproof. Oh, that's right, then you'd be out of a job. Not to mention, what the hell is Dorset Fire and Rescue so freakin worried about? Last time I checked, they get paid no matter what they do, and it's not like someone putting out a kitchen fire gets paid for the effort.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents backed the move as well, using the "different types of extinguishers for different types of fires" argument, apparently having never heard of fucking ABC extinguishers. Then again, with the number of security cameras proliferating across England, it kind of makes sense when you think about it, as after all, government officials should know about the fire before even the people in the apartment complex do.

Stepping above the fray, the Department for Communities and Local Government said this was not going to result in the removal of fire extinguishers, saying that "fire and safety regulations make clear that appropriate safety be provided." Well, at least somebody is thinking with the north end of their bodies, although I guess the case could be made that if their asses were on fire and their heads were catching, there would still be a debate of some sort...

The Daily Breakdown - 12.2.08

So, according to all the cable and network news sources, the United States is now "officially" in a recession, and has been for about a year now. Absolutely fucking fascinating. Yeah, making it "official," that was the key...now everybody is going to figure it out. We've known this for months, as the housing market was bottoming out, as every arrogant banking group was lining up to get a bailout so they could keep their big-time salaries, bonuses, and stadium naming rights. Yeah, things might have been rough, but now it's "official," so NOW we can say comfortably that the economy is spiraling down the porcelain? You may now facepalm thusly.

In somewhat related news, Ford CEO Alan Mulally, Chrysler CEO Robert Nardelli, and GM CEO Rick Wagoner all announced they would work for $1 a year as they approach Congress with their new plan to beg for a $25 billion bailout. How droll. Maybe they should have taken this dramatic bullshit gesture well before the car went off the cliff, pun intended. Even now, a buck a year is overpriced for these three men, and the bottom line is any bailout, in addition to actual honest-to-god oversight (like any of us expect THAT to happen), the bailout needs to include the resignation of all three men, with replacement scouting to take place somewhere in the incorporated city limits of competence.

Meanwhile, it was reported by British news that President-elect Obama is buying his wife a $30,000 diamond ring. Puppy be damned, pal...how bad did you fuck up to warrant that?

It was announced today that even more material was being made public from the Nixon administration, shedding more light on Watergate and Vietnam, among other things. The release consists of 200 hours of audiotape and more than 90,000 pages of documents from 1972-74. Holy cow, this guy releases more posthumous material than Jimi Hendrix. At the rate this is going, we should have a better picture of the scope of Dubya's dry fisting of this country sometime in 2071...

Meanwhile, a trio of enterprising people in Ohio found themselves in hot water after a raffle went bust. Christopher S. Johnson, 33, an academic adviser at OSU's School of Nursing, Rusty Blades, 42, a real estate agent, and Vanise Dunn, 31, an employee of Franklin County Children Services and apparent part-time prostitute, were all nabbed after putting together the raffle, at $10 a ticket, on Craigslist, to spend an evening with a prostitute. Even sadder is the fact that Dunn has been employed as a child sex-abuse caseworker with Franklin County Children Services since 2000. Fuck, man, doesn't that job pay anything? Johnson was charged with promoting prostitution and given $25,000 bail. Blades, who was providing the house where the "prize" was to be collected, with also charged with promoting prostitution and given $50,000 bail. Dunn, who was named as the prize, was charged November 12 with allegedly soliciting a vice detective in a presumably different incident. Not that I'm against entrepreneurship or anything like that, but the most outrageous part of this is the idea that Dunn is on paid leave since her arrest, while the agency looks into whether Dunn violated any of its policies. What in the name of holy damn is there to figure out? You got someone charged with at least one sex crime, albeit the lowest level possible, realistically, and you're still letting her draw a paycheck as a sex abuse caseworker, for children?

Meanwhile, as I was wondering if anyone would manage to get trampled during "Cyber Monday," the big online shopping day following Black Friday...

MSNBC mentioned Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin campaigning for Senator and well-known douchebag Saxby Chambliss today in Georgia, where Chambliss faces Democrat Jim Martin in a runoff election tomorrow. The headline at the bottom of the screen proclaimed "Palin on the stump again." My first thought? Palin on the stump again? That's a heck of a thing to say about Todd, and I wonder when the next trophy child will be unloosed upon us...

With a story breaking over the weekend that Britain is actually the most promiscuous countries in the world, I was glad to get a little cause and effect story to balance everything out this morning, as another study showed that many major supermarket chains are charging rock bottom prices, no pun intended, for alcohol than for bottled water and in a few instances, even less than a bottle of Coke. Alcohol is now almost 70% cheaper now, based on income, than it was in 1980, with some items going for 40% less than the suggested retail price. Wow. I think we finally have an answer as to why hook-ups occur in supermarkets as opposed to bars. Not to mention, the overall bravery of the British people, as readily available cheap booze combined with promiscuity simply increases the odds of winding up in the sack with Amy Winehouse. I'd rather play Russian roulette than take the chance on waking up next to Amy Winehouse, because honestly people, who has the time to gnaw their arm off at the shoulder at that hour of the morning?...

Now that we are neck deep in the holiday season, let the dumbass "war on Christmas" stories and PC holiday "traditions" flood our news markets. In Olympia, Washington, the Christmas tree (or Holiday tree, or Xmas shrub, or whatever the hell you wanna call it) will share space with not only a Christian nativity scene, but a billboard from an atheist group. Normally, there is also a menorah included to recognize Hanukkah, but so far, no requests have been made to include one this year.

The billboard, sponsored by the Freedom from Religion Foundation, will read
"Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds." Fair enough, I suppose, and maybe even true enough, if you take enough time to study the issue and come to your own conclusion, but what struck me as stupid was the statement by Annie Laurie Gaylor, the foundation's co-president, that the sign is a reminder of the "real reason for the season, the winter solstice."

Uh, yeah...about that...not that I am a giant fan of the holiday season by any stretch of the imagination, that statement is just ludicrous. Yes, I am well aware that the winter solstice marks the beginning of winter, but let me ponder, when have I ever seen a "Winter Solstice Sale," or a winter solstice tree, or the winter solstice tradition of cramming "A Christmas Story" or "It's a Wonderful Life" down our throats, or heard the godawful winter solstice music? Oh, yeah...never have. I can fully get behind separating religion from those who may not want a public spectacle made of it every fucking year, but a Christmas tree hardly fucking qualifies. There is Christmas, which some choose to celebrate as a religious holiday, and yet others still who use it to its materialistic breaking point. Why not crusade for something that means something real, like poverty, or injustice, or something rather than self-importance for six weeks out of the year?

You may think I'm being harsh, or reactionary, or whatever the buzzword is this year, but ask yourself...where are all the protesters like Annie Laurie Gaylor come summer solstice?...yep, that what I thought...
