A Benevolent Dictator

A recent conversation with my wife after I caught myself checking to see what color Bic lighter I was putting in my pocket because I am always absent mindedly stealing hers;

Me,
See what you have me doing now?

Her,Yeah,you did it again last night though. I'm finally getting you trained.

Me, Oh, Bustedus Domesticus huh?

Her Yeah.

Me, Really. I still have my moments.

Her, You only get away with that shit because I let ya.

Me, Oh?
Quite the Benevolent Dictator ain't ya?

Her.You love it.


Damn, she is killing my self image as a Rebel Without A Clue here.

U.S. Intelligence Reports Syria Used Poison Gas, Finally

Damn, these guys are really on the ball.

(CNN) -- The United States has evidence that the chemical weapon sarin has been used in Syria on a small scale, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Thursday. But numerous questions remain about the origins of the chemical and what impact its apparent use could have on the ongoing Syrian civil war and international involvement in it. When asked if the intelligence community's conclusion pushed the situation across President Barack Obama's "red line" that could potentially trigger more U.S. involvement in the war, Hagel said it's too soon to say. "We need all the facts. We need all the information," he said. "What I've just given you is what our intelligence community has said they know. As I also said, they are still assessing and they are still looking at what happened, who was responsible and the other specifics that we'll need."

The only problem I have is that this is old news.

Four fucking months ago Syrian opposition fighters reported several deaths caused by a deadly gas attack and U.S. Intelligence is just now getting around to confirming it?

Way to go fella's. This is just one more example of why I go out of country for news sources.

Constitution V1.0 Obsolete According To His Majesty Bloomberg

This fucking asshole is really starting to bother me. Who the fuck died and left this bastard King?

In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday the country’s interpretation of the Constitution will “have to change” to allow for greater security to stave off future attacks. “The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,” Mr. Bloomberg said during a press conference in Midtown. “But we live in a complex word where you’re going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change.”

Wait for it, waiiiiit for it......

“Look, we live in a very dangerous world. We know there are people who want to take away our freedoms. New Yorkers probably know that as much if not more than anybody else after the terrible tragedy of 9/11,” he said. “We have to understand that in the world going forward, we’re going to have more cameras and that kind of stuff. That’s good in some sense, but it’s different from what we are used to,” he said. The mayor pointed to the gun debate and noted the courts have allowed for increasingly stringent regulations in response to ever-more powerful weapons. “Clearly the Supreme Court has recognized that you have to have different interpretations of the Second Amendment and what it applies to and reasonable gun laws … Here we’re going to to have to live with reasonable levels of security,” he said, pointing to the use of magnetometers to catch weapons in city schools. “It really says something bad about us that we have to do it. But our obligation first and foremost is to keep our kids safe in the schools; first and foremost, to keep you safe if you go to a sporting event; first and foremost is to keep you safe if you walk down the streets or go into our parks,” he said. “We cannot let the terrorists put us in a situation where we can’t do those things. And the ways to do that is to provide what we think is an appropriate level of protection.”

For one thing, clearly the Supreme Court has shown it's self to be a group of partisan hacks that do everything in their power to avoid applying the words of the Constitution ver batim as they were written.

There should not have to be any "interpretation" of the fucking Constitution in the first place. What problem with reading comprehension do these people have anyway?

For another thing, Mayor Bloomberg, who the fuck are you to be telling anyone living outside the City of New York to do any fucking thing? Hey asshole, you are a fucking Mayor, not a fucking Senator and most definitely not a king so shut your fucking pie hole dick weed.

I could care less what you think dickhead.

You worry about your own ass and leave the law making to the other incompetent cocksuckers who are already plenty busy finding ways to strangle our God given freedoms in every way imaginable. You know, actual legislators? They don't need your help,peckerhead.

In short, Fuck You asshole. Get some help for you delusions of granduer complex you Nanny motherfucker, don't you have a city council meeting or something to keep your ass busy?

Your Police State On Full Display

Just in case some of you fucking people still had any doubts about the fact that we live in a police state and have for some time now.

Then we have little clues like this,

Fuck Me Blind

Or should I say, Fuck Me, I AM blind.
I just got back from an eye exam.
It was way overdue and I have been cheating for several years now by going to the Dollar Store and getting cheap asses spectacals.
What the fuck, they work, ya know?

I have had my eyes checked twice now since I was in junior high school.
The last time was about five or six years ago.

At that time, the lady told me I was getting cataracts and gave me a prescription for the same strength glasses I was wearing that I also paid a whopping dollar for.

What a joke.

So today, they ran me through the gamut, put the drops in my eyes, yadda yadda yadda.
No signs of any fucking cataracts.

That kind of pissed me off even though it was a relief.
Nothing like living with the thought of something as serious as that nibbling away in the back of your mind for nothing.

Cheerful fucking bunch, I gotta give 'em credit for that.
The one chick who was having me look at frame samples was obviously distracted by something the whole time I was talking to her though.
This is where it got ,interesting, shall I say.

I need bifocals. OK.
I also have to have safety glasses for work.

I don't want to fuck around with multiple pairs of glasses either.
So she hauls out these boxes of frames, there are hundreds in display cases on the walls, and basically gives me a limited choice of some butt ugly mother, fuckers.
Seriously ugly.

What the fuck ever.
I finally picked out the least hideous set that were some ugly assed tiger striped brown shit. I asked if they came in basic black.
Big mistake.
The old,head to shoulder, head to other shoulder Valley Girl Bleach Blonde, "I dunno, I'll have to go look" answer.

Here we fucking go.

A full five minutes this idiot is gone.
She finally comes back and says no.

What a surprise.
I finally just got some that are smoke colored.
Now the fun part.
Bifocals.
Do I want "progressive" lenses.
yes.
Scratch resistant?
yes.
Glare free coating?
Yes.
OK.
Tapetty tappety on the calculator annnnnd.....

The grand total for one basic ,ugly fucking pair of bifocals with the aforemention accouterments?
$745!!

Uhh, yeah.

That is when I leaned across the table to get her attention and said, "O.K., let's get serious now".

"You see these glasses I am wearing? They cost a dollar. They work just fine.
I'm not paying seven hundred and fifty dollars for those glasses, insurance or not".

The look of cognitive dissonance on her face was quickly followed by shock, disbelief and juuust a flash of anger.
I'll give her credit though, she recovered quickly.

She did get a little pissy but she said that if I just wanted what the insurance covered without having anything other than the copay come out of my ass pocket then they would be bifocals with the line across and none of the fancy coatings.
"Fine" I says.

What a fucking racket.

With a little help, I can see with 20/20 vision.
In two weeks I will get those ugly motherfuckers and call it good for now.
Later down the line I may change my mind but I just can't see paying that kind of money for some butt ugly fucking glasses.

I saw Gucci and Calvin Klein frames on display while I was waiting and my asshole puckers just imagining what they charge for that shit!

Putting The Pressure On

Now that some Republicans caved in the pressure is getting pumped up in the gun control department.

It's looking like universal background checks are coming but nothing is set in stone yet.

Harry Reid doesn't have the votes he needs locked up quite yet.

You can be assured that some sneaky cocksucker is going to try and weasel through some kind of shit so I am hoping at the very least someone is watching like a hawk what is in the language of any fucking amendments they want to come up for a vote.

The Whitehhouse has been getting a lot of mileage out of the parents of those dead children from Sandy Hook.
Obama has even gone so far as to have one woman substitute for him in his weekly address.


THE WHITEHOUSE
WASHINGTON

Hello, everybody --

Each week, like many presidents before me, I sit down to record a short address to the nation. It's something I take very seriously because it offers a chance to bring focus to an issue that needs to be part of the national dialogue.

But today, I've asked someone to take my place.

Francine Wheeler is a mother. She and her family live in Newtown, Connecticut. Four months ago, her six year-old son Ben was murdered in his elementary school, along with 19 other children and six brave educators.

Joined by her husband David, Francine shares her perspective about the steps we can take to reduce gun violence and prevent the kind of tragedy she understands all too well.

It's a message that every American should hear:

Watch Francine, then join her in speaking out to make our country safer.

This week, because people like Francine and like you got involved, the U.S. Senate took a step forward on commonsense reforms to reduce gun violence.

And that's good. Because this shouldn't be about politics. This is about doing the right thing for families that have been torn apart by gun violence, and for all our families going forward.

But we've got a lot of work to do before Congress finishes the job.

So if you believe that we can take sensible steps to protect more of our kids from gun violence and protect our Second Amendment rights, stand up and join us.

Just visit WhiteHouse.gov to get started:

Thanks,

President Obama

Politics at it finest.

Of course Obama is going to use these people to maximum advantage.

My heart goes out to them in their grief but I'm afraid they misunderstand that their proposals will do jack shit when it comes to gun crime.

By definition criminals ignore the law.

What is being proposed will only make more criminals, the opposite of their objective.

It has been proven beyond the shadow of doubt that even people who fail the background check are not prosecuted in any meaningful numbers.

It goes right back to what has been said about so many other laws and proposed legislation and it needs to be hammered right back in their faces repeatedly until someone finally fucking gets the message we are trying to send.

ENFORCE THE MOTHER FUCKING LAWS ALREADY ON THE BOOKS.

It's like they think this is some kind of sick game of who can pass the most laws and who can pass the most restrictive laws when the ignorant cocksuckers won't mandate that the laws they have already passed be enforced properly.

Look at how many laws that sick fucking bastard Adam Lanza broke before he even pulled into the parking lot at that school.

Didn't make one fucking bit of difference did it?

But no.
Let's pass some more fucking laws.

The police, the legislators and every criminal in this country knows they don't even have the resources to enforce the laws we have now and these misguided idiots seem to think passing another bucket full is going to cure all their ills.

Instead of spending money hiring more law enforcement personnel they spend it on equipment militarizing the forces we have already.

Local podunk police departments who have assault vehicles and weapons to use while breaking down peoples doors and shooting their dogs but not enough bodies to even bother sending someone out to take a report on stolen property should tell you someones priorities are completely fucked up.

But no.
Let's pass some more fucking laws.

The definition of insanity has been described as doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.

I submit this country fits that definition.
