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:

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.
