The boning we're taking pales to the screwing we're in store for

Oh, well, business as usual. This eternal campaign rolls on and on, and the longer it lasts, the more certain I am that at this point it really doesn't matter who wins, this country is SCREWED!

You've got John McCain, who wants to grandstand with our economy to get elected. You've got one Vice-Presidential nominee who is as bad as Dick Cheney, only female. And last but not least you have another running mate who is playing bashful, just like he's not sure this is where he wants to be.

You've got a Congress who can't seem to do anything! Republicans acting like Democrats used to, Democrats doing a good imitation of wimps, and the total sum of all this business as usual - nothing getting done.

WE can't even immigrate to another country, no one wants Americans. And if we tried to do it illegally, you can damn sure bet the bank, we'd be tossed out on our asses!

Guess all we can do is sit back and wait for the chips to fall where they may.

Cause I'm Mom, Damnit #6

My son says I have been slacking off on my writing, and it's true, but the news is just so depressing you get tired of writing about it.

Like Sarah Palin. I tell you, I am already sick of the name and wish I had never heard it. For the love of God, you would think she is the second coming of Joan of Arc or a female Pied Piper, when all she is, is a politician! We all know a politician will say anything to get elected, then not recall anything they've said once in office.

As I've said before, just get this election over with. If we get McCain/Palin, the rich will get richer, and the poor will get poorer. If we get Obama/Biden, I don't think we'll see much change, because Congress runs this country, and we've seen their performance over the last eight years.

This country was formed in part because its citizens did not like taxation without representation, and two hundred years later, we still have taxation without representation!

So really, all we can look forward to us business as usual, we just have to watch and listen to all the games before we get there!

According to Don, he's nearly finalized his huge Lockdown commemorative special, which will feature actual pieces of the steel cage that Samoa Joe won the World Title in!

Not only that, but according to sources Don actually has possession of Joe's towel from the Pay-Per-View as well.

Don is promising to unveil the Lockdown special in coming weeks...and he promises it will definitely be one of the coolest commemoratives ever!

ppdingles question of the week was this...

Do you think Randy Orton will walk out of Backlash still WWE Champion?

My answer is yes I do. He has overcame the biggest odds that were against him at Wrestlemania 24 and I think he can do it once again. Of course you will have to tune in this coming Monday night to see if I am right.


This week in Wrestling History is now a Blog exclusive!!!!! With more History!
I will still be covering a few history moments but the rest will be in a blog each week and this weeks blog is already up for you to enjoy and relive those wrestling memories.

The official Parent of the year award is underway and here are the two first nominees...

Cutting-Edge Parenting: Sheriff's deputies in the Orlando area were on the lookout in March for two women who, according to surveillance video from the Magical Car Wash, had pulled into a stall and deposited coins but then proceeded only to scold and then pressure-wash a small child.

Aron Pritchard, 27, was convicted of child endangerment in March in Hutchinson, Kan., after a jury declined to accept his explanation for his girlfriend's kids, age 2 and 3, being burned in a hot clothes dryer. Pritchard said he was just trying to show them they could have fun without necessarily spending money.

Throughout 2008 I will be keeping track of idiots like these and select a winner later this year. This should be fun.

Well that's it for this week, hope to see you all this coming Monday night for an all new episode and remember that this Monday is the Free Rein Media SUPER SHOW. Inside the Squared Circle at 7pm Eastern and then at 8pm Eastern is an all new episode of Probably Uncalled For.

a preview of Tuesday night's all-new Probably Uncalled For live broadcast

Here's a glimpse of what we're working on for this Tuesday's all-new episode of Probably Uncalled For...the sudden need of Congress to protect the blind from the scourge of hybrid vehicles (wasn't aware there were that many blind folk buying or -gulp!- driving hybrids...), new gun laws that just don't seem to make any sense (we're pro-gun here, and even we question the logic of these bills...), government-as-usual with some TSA and immigration news, and a veritable all-star celebricraptastic battle royal, with Perez Hilton, Artie Lange, Vanilla Ice scoring his first hit (allegedly) in years, and to throw a red-ass beatdown on all of them, and maybe even the weekend box office, Chuck Norris. (admit it, we had you at Chuck Norris, didn't we?)

Catch you all there. Live. Tuesday night 7pm Eastern/4pm Pacific. Phones and chat room open the duration of the show, so dont' be shy (God knows you haven't been lately), or be shy, what the hell ever...just log on to the show Chuck Norris would probably knock out with a mere disdainful glance, the Greatest Thing Since Sliced Came in Bread Form- Probably Uncalled For!!!

With success like this, who needs failure?

With all of the flat-out denial we get treated to on a daily basis regarding the current state of our fiasco in Iraq, I imagine sometimes it is easy to forget that Iraq is not the only war America is losing. In the midst of plummeting approval ratings for both the president and congress, a less-than-surprising new chapter in denial made its debut courtesy of the nation's drug czar. According to John Walters, the head of the Office of Drug Control Policy, the war on drugs is seeing some of its best results of the last 20 years. Thankfully, there is no mention of the insipid and ineffectual anti-drug commercials the government has flushed away hundreds of millions of dollars on over the years.

So, what are some of the results that Walters is crowing mightily about? While 90%, give or take, of the cocaine that enters this country comes from Mexico, interdiction efforts have disrupted the flow enough to drive prices up in thirty-seven cities across the nation. The price jump is reported to range from 24% to nearly double in some cities. Okay, let me get this straight. Thirty-seven cities, out of thousands of cities, is considered the best results of the last twenty years? Sounds like typical war on drugs mathematics- high on optimism and low on return. Besides the numbers not exactly playing to Walters' favor, there is the train of thought that increased prices will just increase pressure in the clandestine drug market, leading to increased efforts to get it, at least in thirty-seven select cities. I'm sure any potential increase in the crime rate will make the irony involved somehow worth it.

Another key point in Walters' happy news was his statement that fewer American workers are producing positive drug test results, in addition to fewer cocaine-related hospital admissions. More ado about nothing. While fewer hospital admission can invariably reduce peripheral spending linked to the war on drugs, and fewer workers testing positive for drugs will undoubtedly help employers sleep better at night, it misses two two other obvious points to consider. Interdiction may be helping but the reality is people are simply growing more functional and using smarter. I have said for years that potheads are among the most cost-efficient employees out there. They hate switching jobs, due to often having to test for a new job, and they are among the safest, because workers' comp always drug tests for an on-the-job accident. That right there is more realistic and believable than possibly anything John Walters has said since taking charge at the ODCP.

You may consider Walters a little foolish, as he beams like Don Quixote charging a windmill, but at least he is a humble man, our drug czar, sharing some of the credit with Mexican President Felipe Calderon. Out of the world leaders battling a major war on drugs, only Calderon seems to be the one willing to put up some serious, and realistic, effort to combat trafficking, sending 25,000 police officers and army personnel to the areas hit hardest by drug violence. Not that sending 25,000 U.S troops to our borders would do much good, seeing as how the DEA, Customs, Border Patrol, ATF, U.S. Marshal's office, Coast Guard, Homeland Security can't coordinate and make a dent in any drug traffic, let alone the scratch to the iceberg Walters is celebrating.

Walters issued his remarks as the United States and Mexico are kicking around the details of an aid package estimated up to $1 billion to help Mexico fight the drug trade. What kind of success can we expect for this $1 billion, the kind John Walters is promoting, or something someone could be proud of with a straight face? Walters says the challenge is sustaining the results for the long term, but that seems to be casting an impossibly large shadow over the challenge of actually producing some results.
