A Member of the Tolerance Team, That's Me!

I have a pretty low patience level for bad drivers. Making it worse are the ones that are driving like hell and their car is all dinged up. Throw a handicap sticker in the windshield and I am one dial mark from 11.

You drive like a moron, your car is beat and then you have to throw a sticker on your rearview mirror to advertise how you became handicapped in the first place!???

Excuses

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh police say a man wearing a bulletproof vest opened fire on officers during a domestic disturbance call, killing three of them. Friends said he recently had been upset about losing his job and that he feared the Obama administration was poised to ban guns.

Yeah, we wouldn't want to take away some muderous dickhead's gun, now would we?

Critical Thinking

Opinion: A belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge

Just because you think something is true does not mean it is.

An acquaintance told me that she doesn't believe in global warming. "Why?" asked I. "Have you studied the Science? Are you a scientist? Can you explain and refute the theories behind it?"
"No", "no", and "no", were her responses. "I don't need to be an expert to have a valid opinion."

OK, I concede. Maybe you don't need to be an expert to have a valid opinion but being a complete ignoramus with little more than an idea based in some idealic fairy tale world isn't a good launching point toward a valid opinion.

What gives people the impression that their idea is a valid opinion when it is willfully uniformed and ignorant?

Sorry hombre you don't have a valid opinion; "smoke" and "ass" are probably better ways to describe what you've got.

Equal Representation

I should have a bigger problem with the death penalty; but I don’t. My real problem with the death penalty is that I think it should be more evenly distributed.

When some one kills or rapes they get (in many cases) the death penalty. OK. Those criminals destroyed 3-5 people’s lives, including the victim and the close relatives that deal with the after effects of the crime.

Bernard Ebbers, Ken Lay, Bernard Madoff, Robert Allen Stanford and their ilk have destroyed hundreds of thousands of poor people’s lives by stealing pension and retirement money, liquidating savings and assests, and that doesn’t even include the problems they have helped create in the world’s current economy.

How about a little death penalty for them? Can I get an Amen!?

Nah, they are white and wear suits slap ‘em on the wrist and send them back to their Manhattan penthouse suite.

Enhance This

Michael Phelps was suspended (sort of) for three month because someone took a picture of him with a "marijuana pipe" in his mouth.

Most folks can't get off the couch for anything other than Doritos after smoking up and this guy wins 8 Olympic medals?

Sheesh, imagine if he had been using performance enhancing drugs instead.

Clean up after Yourself

I briefly had a roommate that was a total pain and a huge slob. He would come in from work trash the place and leave a trail of destruction in his wake. If I said anything to him about his mess, he would get completely pissed and walk out saying, "Fine, you don't like it!?, you clean it up!"

Sound familiar? I think he was a Republican too.

This Just in

Dick Cheney attended today's inauguration in a wheelchair after hurting his back.

Apparently to show sufficient servility to his lord -the dark master, Lucifer- he pulled a muscle while bending over backward to do some of Satan's final bidding.

I certainly hope Dick doesn't "accidentally" fall down some stairs or get in a horrible car accident as the door swings shut on this administration's behind.

But It's OK If I Do It

Seriously Isreal, you feel the need to bomb the UN Headquarters? You guys sure know how to win friends and influence people.

Back in the Day

Well I have heard that things change when you have a baby and I for one would like to confirm this.

I used to be a staunch proponent of socialism but now, with our tough economic times, I say; "screw ya'll! Every man for himself! I got a baby to take care of and he don't feed himself."

I have had enough "change" bring back the status quo when everything was working just fine and plausible deniability made sure we were /NOT/ in a recession.

Ahh the good 'ol days, Remember how good they were?

I love me, and I Am the Only One That Really Matters

GeeDub delivered the commencement address at Texas A&M on December 12, this was a quote;

"Remember that popularity is as fleeting as the Texas wind. Character and conscience are as sturdy as the oaks on this campus. If you go home at night, look in the mirror and be satisfied that you have done what is right, you will pass the only test that matters."

Hmmm I wonder whom else was satisfied with themselves at the end of the day. . . without the benefit of fleeting popularity.

Hitler really liked what he was doing.
Mussolini was pretty self satisfied.
Jeffrey Dahmer? Ted Bundy? Ken Lay? Rod Blagojevich?
Half of the Russian population, all of the US population
You? Me?
