If It's Not One Damn Thing....
It's usually another, right?
At least that's the way the saying goes, hmm?
And so it is with humanity...one damn thing after another.
we'll get back to that farther along, but first...more of the "good stuff".
(and yes, I'm being a bit facetious here)
It's time again to dig deep into the recently DE-classified files that I've been keeping in my basement (next to all those Batman comics), and check with our various departmental sources.
*** From the "There's NO fuel like an OLD fuel" department:
With Iran flexing it's muscle in the Middle East, threatening to close the strait of Hormuz, is it any wonder?
Here's just one link from New England:
http://www.wpri.com/dpp/news/local_news/providence/gas-prices-rise-to-start-2012
In the Midwest, prices are expected to be higher still.
In 2011, on average, the price of a gallon of gas was HIGHER than any other year (thanks, Obama).
And, as I mentioned in the FIRST post of this year, America's NUMBER ONE EXPORT is...FUEL!
And THAT is a LEADING cause of OUR higher gas prices at the damn pumps.
I say we start KEEPING all this sh*t, and see how the REST of the world fares WITHOUT OUR FUEL.
OUR fuel should be going into OUR vehicles...seems easy enough to skull the hell out, doesn't it?
*** From the "Once an idiot, always an idiot" Department:
A local DJ was busted (again) for DWI and possession.
Here's the link:
http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20120105/LOCAL/301059962/1002/LOCAL
Now, anyone should KNOW by now that if you really WANT to smoke pot, drink AND drive your Cadillac, the BEST place to do it is in the damn ghettohood, because I see people doing it all the time, and THEY (seemingly) NEVER get stopped (even when I mention such things to the FWPD command staff).
The LAST place you should do such things is up on COLISEUM BLVD...because you've got more FWPD officers just looking for those easy tickets, especially during the holiday season.
You want citations, THAT is THE place to go. PLENTY of traffic to choose from.
Then again, the officers in THAT quadrant don't have the amount of (per capita) illegal activity we have down here on the (...all together, gang...) SOUTHEAST SIDE of Fort Wayne. And they don't have liberal ethnics trying to sue the FWPD at the drop of a hat every damn day for stupid crap, either.
Guess Billy Elvis might want to think on those things...in the future, because his DJ days at 92.3 (The Fort) might be numbered.
And next time, "Billy", don't try and toss your "celebrity status" at an arresting officer...that BS doesn't cut it.
*** From the "What GOES around, COMES (back) around" file...
This story is a bit amusing, and after you read it, you'll know why:
http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20120105/LOCAL07/301059967/1002/LOCAL
The lesson to be learned here...never mess with fleet-footed employees who know the layout of the place they work at better than YOU do whenever you attempt to ROB the joint.
Or else, you might find yourself on the OUTSIDE...looking IN.
(white trash moron)
*** From the "Some people should NEVER procreate" FIles:
This is a sad story, but at least it looks to have a happier ending for a 3-year old:
http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20120105/LOCAL07/301059965/1002/LOCAL
Typical behavior from someone who should have NEVER had a child (to pad her welfare) to begin with.
Ms Davis should have never been driving either, because she had been suspended, but that didn't stop HER.
She drove around with NO insurance, her headlights off, and was pulled over for SPEEDING (wish that officer patrolled MY street).
All this while her son (with special physical needs like a feeding tube) could only stay alone in her house and cry.
Nice...a TRUE example of how NOT to be a parent OR a responsible human being.
(aboriginal dumbass)
*** From the "We're off to a FINE start this year" Files:
We're barely FIVE days into the new year, and we've already had TWO (count 'em...2) HOMICIDES in Allen Country (1 in Ft. Wayne).
That seems to be on track with MY prediction. (so far...and then some)
Here's the link to the story:
http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20120105/LOCAL07/301059928
Now, Mr. Jones is no stranger to being a victim, as he was shot back on 2 December (hand wound), and was uncooperative with officers about he came to be wounded. He lived on Anderson Ave, up north, so at least this death didn't occur down on the (...all together, gang...) SOUTHEAST SIDE.
This time, someone made SURE he was shot, because there seems to be no evidence of suicide.
And his car is missing.
It's a 2005 blue Impala with (too) dark-tinted windows and has the tag MIKE74 (which has probably been changed if the perp was smart), and if any car thief was worth his weight in car parts, he probably found some place to get the vehicle repainted.
Lord KNOWS there are TOO many Impalas down there in the ghettohood, and very easy to go undetected in that manner.
Radio chatter last night mentioned that both the sister and another man were forthcoming with information. Whether or not it's USEFUL, or just a diversion remains to be seen (and heard).
Oh, and I'm SURE he was just a "good boy"...never did anyone any harm, was fun to be with...yada, yada, yada...
They ALL are...what the hell are WE doing thinking otherwise.
There's not a GUILTY one in the whole damn tribe, is there?
They're ALL innocent and pure as the driven snow....aaaannnnd I have a bridge for sale in NYC if anyone's interested.
Looks like betting on at least 25 homicides (here) might be worth the gamble.
*** Lastly today...lots of really weird crap going down, and that's why it seems more like a continuation of LAST year, rather than a NEW year.
I would think a new year denotes SOME change, and hopefully for the BETTER....just not seeing it all that much so far.
Hell, you really WANT to be optimistic, but you keep seeing examples of why NOT being that way makes a lot more sense.
I prefer to practice a CAUTIOUS type of optimism...
Like walking through a minefield...being very careful in where you step, looking for those tell-tale signs of a booby trap, like trip wires, freshly moved dirt...well, you get the idea.
Would that we all have that starry-eyed type of optimism that NEVER shakes our resolve.
But we live in the REAL world...and we deal in TRUTH.
Fact is, many of us know the score, know the players, and (usually) know the outcomes.
Still, that should never totally dissuade us from our pursuit of the belief that things can get better...because they eventually will, some faster than others. We just have to stay the course...and know it will.
Be well, make a difference to someone today, and...
Stay safe out there, America.

I mean I can understand dropping names and demanding that the chief be dispatched to the scene--if the guy was like a .25 or something? The kind where he wakes up the next morning and asks "what happened last night?"

But a .11? My loser meter is going off.

Bob G. said...

Slamdunk:
when I read that about the chief, he PEGGED my meter!
(gonna need a new one now....lol)

Guess whoever he was last with COULD NOT SEE that he was inpaired?
I'm just sayin'...
Makes you truly wonder.

Thanks for stopping on by today and commenting.

Stay safe out there

Huh.. here, they don't even bother putting the color of the perp in the paper. Like it's *really* unimportant as to figuring out who the guy is, from a description. let's see, 5"11, brown hair, blue jeans and white Tshirt. wow. That really narrows it down, doesn't it?

One of the kids my daughter knows, was a delivery guy for Dominos - he got jumped, his jaw broken, by some thugs over in our ghettohood area. And to think, 20 years ago, the apartment complex there wasn't so bad, we had a place there when we first moved down here (for the 2nd time - for good this time). And some lady was in the drive-thru at Jack in the Box, her windows were open because it was a nice evening - someone ran up, grabbed her purse through the window and ran off with it.

That guy that was shot - he was shot by Sumdood. No one has really *seen* Sumdood, but he's everywhere. His brother is Idunno. Also related is "Ididntdoit". You get the idea :P

I might even have to turn on the AC here today, just to cut the humidity (73%). At least a cold front is coming!

Oh yes, in regards to the Iran thing - a friend showed me this today and I thought you would be interested in it: http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=28494#.twvgmpqwe_s.facebook

Having been married to an alcoholic for more years than I like to admit, and put my children in danger more times than I want to admit, drunk driving is one of my serious concerns. I have read that the average drunk driver has driven drunk 80 times before first arrest. Scary stuff that mix.

Bob G. said...

Diane:
Yeah, WE can all pretty much figure out WHO does this sort of thing, if only based on the clothing description , or neighborhood where the crime happened.

Amazing how CERTAIN people can bring DOWN a neighborhood SO damn fast, isn't it?
It's like the government is HELPING THEM...(he thought out loud)

Well, they gotta get those reparations SOMEHOW.
Must be nice to be a slave to the government, because THEY are pulling their strings (while reaching into OUR pockets).

I'll check out that link, too.

Thanks for coming on by today and commenting.

Stay safe (and humidity-free) down there.

MSN:
Oh yeah, the stats behind repeat DUIs are staggering!
(no pun intended)

And yet, little is EVER done to REALLY HALT it.
I see court records for offenders that have OVER TEN citations or arrests and even FELONY DUIs...and they STILL are behind that damn wheel soon enough (again).

Seems the punishment doesn't fit the (potential for the) crime.

And some people want to legalize POT as well, so we can have drivers who are HIGH alongside the DRUNKS?
You can't make this stuff up.

They must NEED some D/Bs on our roads before they do anything.

That's not MY first choice, that's for sure.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and commenting.

Stay safe down there.

Disgusted said...

Bob,

I see that Mzzz. Davis had a prior Felony C Child Neglect last 7/11/2011. It was dropped.

Bob G. said...

D:
Yeah,I saw that (among the other vehuicular misdeeds).

I find is AMAZING how something like CHILD NEGLECT (felony at that) JUST seems to "go away"...who speaks for the toddler???

Glad you found that out, too.

Thanks a lot for dropping by today and commenting.

You stay safe out there.

CWMartin said...

To the "no fuel" file- Yeah, I wpoulda been pissed about the time I blew off filling up till after work...
To the once an idiot file- Billy might want to chek his ratings before making such statements. Theyre not what they were in the ninetys, pal. At leats his big buddy Jack Hammer can still get him a job as a dunk-tank clown during TRF.
To the what comes around file- Old boy needs to come down to the ghettohood for remedial training.
To the some people file- God should have required that a person be a father/mother to a child for three years before they could have sex. It'd make your neighborhood a lot quieter, that's for sure.
To the fine start file- Darwin ALWAYS gets'em in the end.
Very good report- but then again, Ft Wayne is an inexhaustible source for "who's dumber" material.

Bob G. said...

CWM:
LOL, I really LIKE the way you "reviewed the post"...nicely done.
Each by it's "file".

LMAO on the "dunk-tank clown" ...BRILLIANT!
(out of one tank and into another?)
Good one.

You NAILED it on the parenting gig...4 yr. prerequisite for EVERY mook living down here (yours truly excluded of course).

"Mr. Remedial" should have just TAKEN the dang register...DUH!!!

And I have to hand it to 'ya...regarding the "who's dumber" aspect...SPOT ON!
(and I've only lived here since 1997, but I'm a quick study...AND I come from...PHILLY)

"Yo,"

Thanks for stopping on by and making my day, "Clint"...

You stay safe up there.

Bob:

Despite Obummer's best efforts, American ingenuity has managed to find another century's worth of carbon-based fuel right here at home. Yessir, we are exporting more gasoline than the equivalent oil that we import - and we do that without having built a major refinery since the the 1970s.

But today, I am here to solve your high gasoline prices. Just follow the directions here but be careful not to get wet.

Bob G. said...

Gadfly:

I figured if ANYONE had some kinda handle on all of this, YOU would,.

I'll be sure to check out thjat link...and I promise to put my coffee DOWN before I read into it.

(I hate soggy, sticky keyboards)

Thanks for the linki and for stopping by to comment.
Much appreciated.

Stay safe out there.
