The Last Humpday of 2009...
Can you believe it...we've had 52 of these buggers, and NEXT week, we start it ALL over...again.
Now there are a few things out there this year, that unfortunately will drag well into NEXT year...and the year after that.
--We can talk about our current Homeland Security Secretary and her inability to function within the parameters of the position she holds.
GET RID OF HER...NOW.
--We can discuss the manner and course this administration is taking this nation, and how SPENDING trillions of dollars on programs with more holes in it than a Swiss cheese factory will "prevent" America from going belly up (financially-speaking).
GET RID OF THEM ALL...NOW.
--We can debate the WAR ON TERROR while calling it a more "user-friendly" term as OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATION, and labelling these radical ISLAMIC TERRORISTS who are ENEMY COMBATANTS a more personable term such as "radical extremists" or "isolated extremists" until the cows come home, when we SHOULD be calling each and every one of Ramses Al Kaboom's boys what the hell they really are...ENOUGH with all this PC crap for Christ's sake! We have AMERICAN LIVES at stake here, people.
--We can banter about the FACT that what this nation REALLY needs is to have a lot more of it's people EMPLOYED, instead of on the dole, but the Washington Cabal would MUCH rather waste a trillion or more bucks on some lame-ass health care bill, designed to allow illegal immigrants safe harbor in our country, provide yet another entitlement to the lazy-asses of the nation (who have been living La Vida Loca Grande for decades, thanks to other federal "programs" that give everything and demand nothing FROM such people), and cost the working stiff a larger chunk of what diminishing paycheck he or she might be getting each week.
--We can decry the fact that although crime in general has decreased, VIOLENT crime is still on the UPSWING, and that the LEADING cause of death for black males between 18-27 is HOMICIDE, while never (really) holding them personally responsible for their OWN actions, and demanding from them the SAME prerequisites to living a normal life that is expected from everyone else.
--We can talk about how the educational system is "failing" our children in so many ways, when in REALITY...it's SOCIETY that is failing these kids, and that our schools were NEVER meant to be surrogate parents, social meeting clubs, or any other venue that is more entertaining than educational. Our schools were always meant to be bastions of LEARNING, and it was OUR FAMILY (and community) that made sure WE, as students held ourselves accountable for our success...OR our failure in that regard.
SOCIETY needs to get it's SH*T in gear...ASAP!
We can discuss how the American worker is being taxed out the ass, worked to his death, and otherwise played like a cheap-ass fiddle by his/her employer, while all the time, we're still importing damn near everything from our largest "banker", namely CHINA. We've allowed cheap (bordering on slave) labor to take the place of AMERICAN PRIDE, and all for some CEO of some company (and it's board of directors and shareholders). Lemme clue you in....we are ALL "shareholders" when it comes to this nation's productivity...!
SO stop screwing with us...NOW.
--We can debate how we need to "green" the planet and stop producing "toxic" gases such as CARBON DIOXIDE, claiming it's killing the Earth, and destroying our life, threatening to make all of us extinct.
This BULLSH*T PARADE has to end...NOW.
Carbon dioxide is a NECESSARY substance in our planet's makeup. Without it...we wouldn't have any foliage...anywhere. What the hell would we exhale, anyway? Seems both or either of those things would end life as we know it on this planet pretty damn quick, wouldn't it?
Al Gore...go away...just f$cking GO...AWAY. You're a damn lunatic, and you don't know your ass from a hole in the ozone layer.
SO just SHUT THE F$CK UP, STUPID...and let the Earth do what she's BEEN doing all these eons, OK?
As for the douchebag brigade...let's round up Pelosi, Reid, Rangel, Emanuel, Holder, and ALL the other pathetic players in this farcical charade, tar and feather the lot of them, and send them packing, before we really DO wind up with a nation that is totally and irrevocably FUBAR.
--Locally, I'd love to have our fair city to figure out SOME way of shutting up these damn BOOMCARS...once and for all.
--I'd love to see some RESPONSIBILITY demonstrated by the REAL ESTATE market and the "landlords" in the area, so that they may be better able to SCREEN tenants before they move in and create yet another DRUG HOUSE in my neighborhood.
--I'd like to see people that know what the f$ck the word RESPECT means...rather than demand it from me (for them), these morons need to understand that respect is NEVER given...it is EARNED (something these locals wouldn't know about because they never held a job and earned a damn thing in their entitlement-driven lives). If they understand that I ALSO live in this neighborhood, and maybe I don't LIKE hearing (c)rap music shaking MY house to all hours, we might be able to get along. Until THAT happens, it's an undeclared WAR, baby. And I play to WIN.
Now...if all this sounds like I'm just a tad cheesed at a crapload of things...give yourself a pat on the back...
I am pissed...and if you find any of these applicable, so should YOU.
All of the above things are NOT what this nation was predicated upon.
America has never, nor should ever become the bastard child of some OTHER nation.
We need to stand apart...as a nation...as a people.
We need to SET the standards..not wind up beholding to other nations and "their" standards.
So, I'm just trying to get all of the "piss and vinegar" out of my system for THIS year...so I can start over with a whole NEW set of things to rant and rave about.
I mean, no one wants to drag yesterday's "baggage" into tomorrow, does one?
So let's try to get all of the angst from 2009 OUT, so we have plenty of room for than nice, new, shiny 2010 angst...LOL!
Do some good today, make a difference somewhere, and be sure to...
Stay safe out there, America.

((tomorrow - What I can expect from New Year's Eve in MY neighborhood))
