And for you ma'am I must stand and applaud

For me, this is somewhat of a feel good story. Thanks to fox news the link is here. For the lazy (or simply silly) the story is of an Oklahoma woman whose son was killed serving his country in Iraq. There apparently is a gentleman selling t-shirts online that say "Bush lied" on the front, with "They died" on the back and a list of soldiers names who had been killed. This woman felt that it was his right to his opinion and such BUT for him to be making a profit off of her son's likeness or name was not right. Instead of doing absolutely silly things like building a camp outside of the president's ranch (ahem.....) she did the intelligent thing and went to her state legislator (as well as state reps) so that they may introduce legislation to stop/ prevent future occurences of this. To this woman I must applaud your ability to keep and use a level head in dealing with the situation. I also must say, I am sorry for your loss. Your son was a young man with a tough and noble calling. There are still some of us in this country that appreciate his service and hope that it is never forgotten that he gave his life, so that others may live better ones..........



I would love to end the post there, but once again I must revisit one of my more popular topics. HOLY SHIT. When I posted last week the rumored number of homocides that Cincinnati was on pace for was around 85. Due to the "happenings" of last week, that number has jumped 10 to 95!!!!! To quote the article, "The city is on pace to break modern day records with 95 homicides by the year's end." If that doesn't scare the BEEEEEEJEZUS outta ya, I don't know what will. Another reason I chose to post on this is because I spoke to a gentleman while working last night who raised an interesting point. During the riots all of 6 years ago, some of the first places looted were pawn shops. The rumor is that there were something like 900 firearms "obtained" during the riots. The other rumor is that on the short order of less that 200 have been seized by police during their encounters. Considering it has been 5.5 years since those riots, I find that number slightly unnerving. Especially with the fact that the city seems to average 70+ murders a year...... That means there are still something like 700 firearms that could potentially be in the hands of people that the ATF would not legally allow to obtain. Ahhhhhhh screw it what do I know........ All I know is there is somewhat of a genocide going on in this city. Its getting ugly, its getting out of control, and we are headed for another riot here in the next few years. I wish I could make people understand that human life is priceless, but I don't think it will get across. God forbid that I am right, but what I see happening (possibly?) is that the cops are going to get fed up with homocides (the coroner has already publicly expressed his displeasure) and are going to end up face to face with one of these criminals and have to make a choice. It will be kill or be killed. The question is which way they will go. If they kill the criminal I could see it touching off another city-wide riot. If they choose not to kill, they will probably (and tragically) be killed. And that will fly under 50+% of the city's radar and that is terrible. As I said before, I truly hope I am wrong about that, but if things do not change, that is a path that is completely feasible....... Until next time folks.

This just in......

To quote dad..... "Jayzus Keerist in a purple and teal Humvee"

Listing is making this easier......
MY HUMBLE OPINION

1) TOTAL CRAP
2) By showing preferential treatment of a particular group, the gov is in fact creating discrimination (this time in their favor) and more hatred and bigotry towards them
3) Despite the fact I wouldn't have worn the shirt (personal beliefs don't always have to be held in the public eye) That kid had every right to attend classes as usual that day. Fuck that school (as well as the college that tried (read succeeded and reversed) throwing the student out for the celebrate diversity shirt
4)If a white kid in an all black school wore a bigitous shirt to school, he would get his ass kicked and it would be his right to get it kicked and to press charges later (as long as he wasn't instigating it beyond the shirt)
5) I hate John Kerry
6) The 9th circuit seems to suck at their collective job (or so it would appear to the casual observer 12 out of 15 thrown out by the supreme court??????? thats not even good enough to make league minimum in MLB)
7)I really hope this kid wins his case cause it is all totally BS
8) with all the "kid diddling" going on in today's society, what is a school doing with a homosexual ass. principal (chuckles to self)
9)If one were in that position (again chuckling to self; people in office looking at me funny) as an asst. prin. why would you ever let anyone know what you did outside of the HIGHSCHOOL?????
10) I hate John Kerry
11) If they come after guns, at least I'll be protected b/c weapons are used on so many white catholic males during the commision of crimes.....

Now seriously, cut it out you're making me angry......

Cincinnati is on pace for 85+ murders this year. There have been 5 "shooting related deaths" (will later be declared homocides by the coroner just haven't yet) in 36 Hrs. I don't really even want to discuss this. Its disgusting........

With equal or worse nauseating effect is this. I am astounded, angry, aggitated, agrivated, appalled, and abhorred (I love online Thesaurus') by this. All alliteration aside people, NO ONE should stand for this. I'll give the guy a speedy trial, guilty like O.J. then put him down and hard. I'm talking public lynching (in TX just for fun) to show people like Cyndi Sheehan that acts against members of our armed forces or their families (physical or otherwise) WILL NOT go unpunished. I'm not talking judged at the pearly gates, I'm talking get a firing line together. Its lunch and I think that I just lost my appetite................

I'll never understand................

This is where I live!

I would like to say that link says it all, but not even close. I don't understand the human condition of judge, jury, executioner. Despite the fact that I live in this CESPOOL of crime and disgusting behavior, I was surprised again once by Cincinnati and once by up Nawth'. The surprise in Cincinnati is here and the surprise from up Nawth' is here. In the Cinci article, first the unfortunate deceased should have been smarter that to run after the robber (ESPECIALLY after shots were fired) but that point aside, I wonder if the money the guy took was worth a human life. Unless it is some sort of magic money I've never heard of, it wasn't. Right about now, you can reference my last post about gun rights. Due to OH law, the gentleman who was mindlessly slain (if he had a permit to carry concealed) would have been bound by law to lock the firearm in his vehicle. If he had a firearm on him, he at least would've had a chance to defend the three persons who were robbed (and would have legally been able to defend himself after shots were fired) and we might be singing a song about how criminals better beware........

As for the other link, my condolences to the Conti family (David was the brother of one of my father's friends). It is utterly unbelievable that while being a gentleman and escorting a woman he had just met to her car, that he would be slain by her ex-boyfriend..... I think the second most sickening realization in this case, is that the woman had a temporary restraining order against the ex, yet admitted to police she had gone to see him earlier that day. Personally with the brutality of this attack (he was beaten to death without any weapons involved) I will not hold back when I say that I hope the perp is killed either for punishment, or shanked by someone in jail. It is an unfortunate situation when an upstanding, responsible, FATHER is murdered in cold blood by some gangbanging, dopehead, shitbag. With a rapsheet that is a bit long this guy should never have had a chance to commit another crime. Now a 15 year old child will have to grow up without a father......... Rest in peace David. I hope that justice prevails.............

::Foghorn Leghorn Voice:: Boy I say..... Boy, you better settle down over there.......

Back to the bloggin'. Its been so long since I posted that I would venture to say there is WAY too much to blog about. Let's just say, my mind was elsewhere for a little while there, but by the grace of God (along with the will of the toughest sumbitch I ever met) things are gettin' better. Don't take my word for it, go here. I promise, you'll meet the greatest, strongest, and coolest gentleman ever to grace the streets and I am DAMNED PROUD to call him my father. Good to have you back in the game "sir" :-)

I will begin with Iraq. Just in case you've been slappin' the snooze button for the last few months, we're still there. Unfortunately we're still losing soldiers every few days. As always my heart goes out to them and their families. While families may not feel it, they should take solace in the fact that there are still some of us who realize and appreciate the ultimate sacrifice their kin made. Someday, the people of Iraq will realize that our presence was a good thing (like when they were dancing in the streets after we smoke Al Zarqawi's bitchass!)

Iran......... We'll at last check it appears that they may have realized that talkin' things out with the UN and other concerned nations (read staring down the barrel of a .45). I hope that they can come to an agreement (read do as they are told to) with everyone to prevent anything from getting out of control. Which in fact brings me to my next topic ISRAEL! WOOOOOOOO! As an American, I am damned proud to stand back right now and say HA! Too many in the world did not take Israel seriously while we stood behind them (knowing they weren't joking around) and said "Hey, listen up!" Now the ENTIRE technical world can see (through those lovely liberal videos) that they ain't no joke. May God have mercy on every terrorists poor excuse for sorry ass, cause' you're next boys. Don't kid yourself....... The anti-terrorist alliance will grow bigger and stronger and WILL come hunting for you. Now is a good time for me to step off my podium and get onto the next topic.

Concealed weapons. It has been said that "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns." While this is seen by many as (and attacked for being) a bit overdramatic, it holds quite a kernel of truth. What these bleeding hearts cannot get through their tofu filled, Michael Moore loving, Ted Kennedy worshiping skulls is that CRIMINALS DON'T FOLLOW THE LAWS! Therefore, by restricting a citizen's right to carry concealed, they are in fact restricting the right of law abiding citizen in situations where (God forbid) one might have to defend himself. That is all I am going to rant on that topic because A) no one in power is listening and B) I could go on until I have to go to work tomorrow and that would not be good.

NEXT: George W.'s impromptu speech to Tony Blair that happened to be caught on a wandering microphone. I will start here. To everyone complaining because fines aren't being issued to him while "The almighty" Howard Stern was run off to satellite radio where he could be a flaming asshole without bound I say this, go find the third rail, lift a leg, and piss until it tingles. The FCC DOES NOT I repeat DOES NOT run guard on cable (read as pay to view). In fact there are no limitations but those placed by this little group within the stations called "the ethics watchdog". I think that should juuuuuuuuuuuust about cover it. But if it doesn't, this will. I would much rather have a president get caught saying "get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit..." rather than be caught with a fat intern and a stained dress....................


Until next time.................
