Good evening all you faithful followers of the Monkey and you not so faithful and you people who are just dropping by to see what wonderful and exciting news I have to bring you from this big blue marble we here like to call… Earth!
Dateline Walla Walla: It seems that the quaint little town in the South Eastern part of Washington State has been all over the news, Facebook and You Tube of late, and it has nothing to do with its onions, which are delicious by the way, so go to your favorite Supermarket and ask for them today.
It seems that the reason that Walla Walla has been in the news is due to a shooting. Now I know that shootings are not a new thing, but it’s the outcome of said shooting that seems to making all the hoopla. It seems that a young man broke into a local store, a store that has been a part of the community for a very long time and a store that everyone who lives in that town knows its owner not only works there but lives there as well. It would seem that one of the cities fine upstanding citizens (read: gang member with a long arrest record) wanted to shop at this store, the only problem was that it was about two thirty in the AM, that’s right gentle readers, it was 2:30am and the owner, who is elder, and his wife were sleeping when the owner heard glass breaking. Now NO ONE, I repeat NO ONE but the two people who where there actually knows what happened for sure. But that has not stopped a select part of the community, that part that has gang affiliations and possibly is here illegally.
It was this crowd that has been calling for the arrest of the man who shot and killed the individual that broke into, not only the man’s business, but his home, where his wife was, they want this elderly man to go to jail for defending what was his. The rumors circulate around this like flies around a dung heap. One such rumor is that the reason this upstanding gentleman broke into the store is because he needed money for shoes, money that his mother had refused to give him. The very same mother who has said that this person who was an admitted gang member, was a good boy and he didn’t do anything wrong.
This has clearly divided the once sleepy hamlet of Walla Walla. Reading the Facebook pages for the two side’s one would think that they were running for political office. The mudslinging and name calling makes it seems like Obama and Romney are in town. Clearly, this is a no win situation and there are losers on all sides and ones heart can go out to both families. One family lost a son, brother and friend, the other family has lost a husband, father and friend and while one will never have to worry again, the other will have to life with what happened that night for the rest of his life. People are calling for justice for the dead young man, 20 or 30 years ago people would have said that the man that broke into the store got justice. But not anymore, now if you commit an illegal act, it is you that have all the rights, not the one you stole from, killed, raped or anything else that you can do to someone, the victim will continue to be a victim even if they were to win in court.

HEY MR. PRESIDENT, LET’S JUST FREE THEM ALL!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday America, you’re 236 years young. In the grand scheme of things you are but a teenager, so grab a Hot Dog, and pull up a piece of manicured lawn that was cut by people who have every right to be here as a tape worm has the right to hang outta dogs ass. Because it seems that in the next few years you will not be able to recognize this once great nation of ours. And for those of you that have been hiding under a rock for the past several weeks and are asking what I mean, well, that’s easy. It seems that our Great Leader, President Hopenchange, has given what amounts to amnesty to 800,000 illegal immigrants.
Why would he do this now and say not last year or the year before? Boy, you have been under a rock. It’s an election year, and before any of my followers say that I’m again coming down on the Imam Obama and they would be right, in this instance. Why, because this is something that REALLY annoys the Monkey. Why doesn’t he just open all the jails and prisons in the country and let out the criminals, it’s the same damn thing. Ok, I hear you over there, saying that “It’s just students that he’s doing this for!” Well let me say this one more time for those in the cheap seats. If someone comes here the right and legal way then I will be the first with my hand out to them and asking what it is this country can do for them. If they are a doctor, architect or some other technical profession then they should NOT cutting our lawns. Help them get the up to speed for what they need to do for doing that job here, hell we send our kids to medical school in the Caribbean, (anyone remember Granada? I sure as hell do) These “Doctors” come back with about as much understanding on how to be a doctor as a dog knows how to be a cat.
Does our system desperately need to be over hauled? You bet you squeaky little ass it does, but to just tell people, “Oh, you broke our laws, but that’s ok, we forgive you and the fact that you are taking up places in schools and hospitals, but don’t worry, you can stay!” Now here’s the ironic part of all this folks, IF the roles were reversed and it was us that was in their country, we would have no rights and we would be in prison for a long time before we were allowed to come back to America. And if we stole someone identification you could just kiss your gringo ass good bye, seen it, with my own two Monkey eyes so anyone that says that I don’t know what I’m talking about can feel free to take a very long walk off a very short pier, cause as the saying goes, “Been there, Got the Tee Shirt.”
And another thing that the “All Mighty One” seems to have forgotten. Just where the hell is the money going to come from? We can’t even get our Vets into schools because everyone is crying that the tuitions are way too high, and these are men and women that not only deserve to be in school but have the right, before just about anyone to be there. Yet there is little to no money for the ones that have gave everything for this country which is celebrating its birthday today, but we can find the money for those that are nothing more than criminals, people who snub their noses at our laws and traditions and protest about how unfair it is to live here. The ones who are the share holders in the gang and drug activity in this once great nation. The ones who fly their countries flag before ours, (which is illegal. Oh wait, silly me, they’re criminals so why should they do ANYTHING according to our laws, except call the police if their rights are even looked at wrong. Silly, silly monkey).
So, I have a suggestion for you, Mr. President. Since you seem to have nothing but contempt for this great country and you seem to mock those that have served, then just open all the jails and prisons in the country and show the people of America just how you really feel.
But Hey…WhatdoIknow!!!!!!

WELL, IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!
A really big Happy New Year to all my faithful followers and I would like to welcome, Janel, Thomas and Nick to the fold, looking forward to hearing from you.
Well, it seems that 2011 was a pretty weird year to say the least. We had really bad weather that made people cry “It’s the end of the world as we know it.” Hey that should be made into a song and then it could be the 2012 anthem. Damn, I’m good. 2011 saw the end of the war in Iraq, we’ll be back, just watch. The Bush haters are still hating and the Obama lovers are loving him even more, and Rodney King once said “Can’t we all just get along?” now this coming from a criminal who ran from the Popo, the Five-0, the fuzz, can’t really be counted on for much of anything, but the words do ring true in a lot of areas. No one political system is perfect, on one President is perfect, they all inherited shit from all those that came before him, so all you haters and lovers, get the hell off your high horse and just work at making the system a better place for you and me but most of all for your kids.
2011 also saw the end of two of the most hated people in the world. You know I can just see old Uncle Sam sitting at his desk with his feet up looking at his list of names. There you see Saddam’s name with a check mark, you see Bin Laden’s name and he puts a check mark and you see Kim Jong Il’s name and he puts a check mark, and then says “NEXT”. Gotta love ole` Uncle Sam. Now what I find funny is that Obama took credit for killing Bin Laden, I’m just waiting for him to take the credit of ole` crazy Kim. But I guess they did meet the big red guy under his watch just as Saddam met him under Bush’s, but really does it really matter, cause they themselves did not pull the trigger, now that would be something wouldn’t it? Have a Captain Kirk in the White House. “I’m sorry Vice President Spock, but I’m not… going to…just… sit here in the White House… while those Klingon, I mean Taliban bastards run amuck.” Then we’d have a President with some huevos.
We also saw the passing of the great and the not so great, we saw celebrities still being treated like their fecal matter doesn’t omit odor, we saw gas price just about kill or wallets and somewhere in the far distant future someone will write of this time that, “It was the best of time, it was the worst of times.”
But Hey… WhatdoIknow!!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVEYONE.

Happy Holidays… BAH HUMBUG!!!!!!!!!!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS faithful followers of the Monkey and to those who just drop by for a peek behind the curtains. And yes, I did say Merry Christmas. If you want the politically correct version I suggest you look elsewhere, cause it’s sure not here and will never be here. I mean really, what has all this politically correct nonsense gotten us anyways but whiney cry babies that want to sue you for something they themselves have done. Because they got their widdle feewings hurt. Now before some of you get your new panties that you got for Christmas in a wad, and you know who you are, I am NOT saying that one should not think before one opens that pie hole under their noses, because they should, because speaking before one thinks is a form of bullying, but that’s another subject all together, so stand by. That being said, let’s get back in task shall we?
For those that have followed the Monkey, you know that I am a monkey of the world. I have been places and seen things that would amaze and delight you as well as straighten your short and curlys. And in all my travels, America is the only place where our so called “Law Makers” have to argue over what to say during this supposed happy time of the year. Do we really need a law on the books telling us what we should or shouldn’t say during the holidays?
Now, we have all heard the stories about someone who has a Jewish friend who greets them with Merry Christmas and not Happy Chanukah or Happy Holidays or anything of that sort. Well, I got one better. As you may or may not know, I severed proudly in this country’s military and I have been all over the world. And it was during one of these sojourns that I found myself in the Middle East, not my first time mind you, but my first time during a war. I was in this quaint little place called Saudi Arabia for a little thing called the Gulf War. Now I did my damnedest to TRY to speak the language, as I always do when I am in someone else’s country, I mean it’s the polite thing and they get a kick out of watch you make a fool out of yourself trying to speak it. But back on point. Here I am, your humble monkey, who is a God fearing Christian in a Muslim world and those that chose to speak to me during the holiday season when I was so far from home, greeted me with a simple Merry Christmas. Here where individuals that most likely had as much understanding of God as I did Allah, but yet still found it in their hearts to greet me in a way that made me feel that old Christmas spirit.
So why is it that someone that really doesn’t understand the meaning of what was said say it and not think twice about it, yet here in our own country do we need to be told that it is OK to say Merry Christmas? I mean are we that far gone and that stupid that we have to be led to the trough and told what we can say and how we are to say it? Really????? I think that the next time someone says “Happy Holidays” to you that you should hit’em with your cane and give them a loud… BAH HUMBUG TO YOUR HAPPY HOLIDAY, IT’S CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

OCCUPY BHWDIK!!!!!!!!
First off I want to wish everyone, especially all my followers a very Merry Christmas and an even better New Year. I hope you all get what you want and for my followers, you have my undying gratitude, thank you for being here, because without you, I would just be a voice in the wilderness.
Ok, so for those that have followed me, the Great and Powerful Monkey, you will know that I am all about the freedoms that we have here in this great country of ours. But there does come a time when it gets a bit to redonkuless. And yes I am speaking about the ass hats that are in each major city, it seems. Now I, like 99.999999999999999999999999% of the people out there feel the pinch of the economy and I have had to tighten my belt even more, which is really difficult this time of year, (Mmmmmmmm, fudge), and we all know what the price of gas is doing. So who am I to complain if people want to express their rightful indignation at the Wall Street and the Government who seems to want more and more of our freedoms and wants you to pay for it AND for all the illegal’s in the country. No gentle reader I am not bemoaning those people who have a reason to bitch, those that work hard trying to put food on the table for their families, or trying to keep the lights on or even a roof over their heads. Those people who take a few hours out of their day, before and after work, to stand up for what they believe in. I am speaking to and of the multitude of ass hats that make a bad situation worse. Those who don’t have a job and think that it is our fault that they don’t and want us to support them. Well I have news for them, they can take a very long walk off a very short pier. I can barely support myself and my little monkeys and Mrs. Monkey, and they want me to support them as well? No fracking way!!!!! I’ll tell them the same thing that I tell my oldest, you want money, work for it. But oh no, not these ass clowns. They would rather sit on there well feed asses and do nothing but destroy someone else’s property, pick fights with the police and then go on national television and say that they did nothing wrong that it’s everyone else’s fault and see how badly they are treated. Well, I’m tell you this for nothing, you push, hit, take a swing at, spit at, kick, throw something at a cop you deserve to get your ass pepper sprayed and hauled off to jail. Concerned citizens want to know who’s going to pay for all the overtime that is being generated by the police departments and the waste management companies, well here’s the check Mr. and Mrs. America, it’s you that will have to pay for these spoiled children who seem more interested in watching TV and playing video games. Me, personally, I think that they should be made to pay for what they have wrought, hold them accountable for the mess that they have made. And therein lays the rub ladies and gentlemen, no one wants to be the one to deal with telling these two year olds that there are consequences to ones actions and that they have a pretty huge ass bill to pay for this “party” of theirs.

Amy Drughouse and crazy “church” asshats!
It would appear that I have been more than a little remiss in letting you all know what is going on with your favorite Monkey. I could blame it on being stuck in a tree or I could tell you all that I was abducted by a cult of alien thumb suckers or I could just blame it on Bush like everyone else does, seems to work for the Bush haters as well as the President. But alas, I cannot bring myself to lie to my few, we happy few, followers of the Monkey. I can tell you that I have been busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest and losing. But things have not gone unnoticed by yours furry, oh no. In fact I have been watching and watching and waiting for someone to light a candle in this darkness, but I’m glad that no one did because the stench is so bad that things might have gotten a little bit explosive. I mean what kind of world are we living in where a drug addled drunk who only had one song make it to the Top 40, yes I’m talking about you Amy Winehouse and your messed up grill BECAUSE of all the drugs you took, gets more press then a highly decorated soldier who overcame huge hurtles to become one of this nations Joint Chiefs of Staff, yes I’m talking about General John Shalikashvili, he told everyone that met him to call him Shally. Now, I knew this man personally, and I can tell you that you would not have met a nicer man in the world, even if he was a General Officer and I was just a Non Comm. This man had a sense of humor like no other person I have ever met. Does he get a headline in a newspaper? Nnnnooooooo. Does he get on the cover of Time? Nnnnoooooooo. Who does? Amy Drunkhouse, and if you all think that she DIDN’T OD, then do I have a deal for you. We “celebrate” this drug user but not a real hero.
And speaking of heroes and those that are not. When did it become passé for a church to protest soldiers who have paid the ultimate price for our freedoms. What the hell is the Supreme Court thinking by asshats the right to do this. Now I know what some of you are saying, “But AM, they are using their Constitutional rights, rights that have been granted by the First Amendment.” And yea, I would tend to agree with you, BUT there is also a little thing I like to call RESPECT, you know Aretha sang about it, these asshats thing nothing of getting in the faces of grieving families and then they have the gall to say that they are a Baptist church. What, because they SAY they are a Baptist church then that makes it alright to do this? And if 99.999 % of your “congregation” is made up of your “family members” then doesn’t pretty much make you a cult? I mean that’s what they called Jim Jones’ and David Koresh’s “church”. If nothing else they are a hate group, but do you think that they are treated like any other hate group. Nope, because their mouthpiece happens to not only be a member but the daughter as well. Personally, I think we should give them and the media a one way ticket to Iran and let them try that shite there…

The slow death of our nation’s heroes
I know, I know, I know, it’s been a while since I have been telling you what I think or feel on anything… ok let’s be real here, on EVERYTHING. I could just say that I fell out of my tree and I couldn’t get up or that life got in the way, but I have never lied to you and I never will, unlike some, I feel the truth holds its own light against the dark of any lie. The truth is I have been busy, but more importantly I have grown to feel that no one is listening, that is except my four great followers who I thank for sticking with this Monkey through it all. Thank you and may you NEVER have monkey poo in your shoe. (Move over Dr. Seuss) So, I am asking each and every one of you that reads this blog to tell someone AND leave a comment., I mean If you agree with something or if you don’t that’s great. I could be wrong about something, I doubt it, but it might happen and I am ALWAYS up to a spirited debate. The other reason I have not written in a while is because I was told that I know way too much about what celebrities are doing or not doing and that person was more or less right, I mean where else can you find a whole group of ass hats in one place, but Hollywood?
Well I can answer that one for you so you don’t have to spend the day surfing the web to find that answer. The answer is right in front of 99.9999999% of all veterans. It’s called the Veterans Administration. These are the ass hats that are SUPPOSED to ensure that our nation’s heroes are taken care of, the men and women who have sacrificed and some to this day continue to sacrifice for this country and the people in it. I had thought that the problem has just in the town I live in, but as I investigated I found that it goes a lot deeper than just the VA here, I know of this vet who has what the VA terms a “Service Connection Disability”, that is to say that this person, this hero, was hurt or injured while defending this country. The VA has even got a rating system to say just how FUBAR’ed you really are. A vet is rated on a “scale”, from 0 to 100. If you are rated at 50% or higher you have certain “privileges” such as free prescriptions or no co-pay or what have you. You are also supposed to have preference in job hiring’s such as a 10 point veterans preference instead of a 5 point. Now I know that there are those of you out there reading this that are saying, “Well no shit Monkey, tell me something I don’t know”. Well I am not “recapping” the VA system for you guys cause I know that you know this and can tell your friends that don’t know what I’m talking about, what I’m talking about. I’m talking to the person that has never served nor has any friends that have served. I know, hard to believe in this day and age right? But there you are.
So you’ve sat throw all that and are probably asking “Monkey, what has you so annoyed?”Well, gentle readers, you have it wrong. I am NOT annoyed, I am downright PISSED OFF, so the Annoyed Monkey is the really Pissed Off Monkey right now. As I stated the VA in the town I’m in is treating the vets in this area like what comes out of the back end of a cow. I know this vet who has a service connected disability who worked at the VA. Now this person is a really nice person and who loves their job, they love working with the vets and they have a “connection” because both of them are vets. Well, this person was sick more often than not and was made even sicker by the “doctors” who say they are treating this person, but the drugs they give only makes this person worse and to cap it all off this person suffers from PTSD, (that’s Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for those not in the know). Needless to say that this gallant hero is living through their own version of hell. And what does this Government Agency, that spends Millions on ads, they tell you that they care do for this person? (coughs bullshit into hand) They certainly don’t help them; they fire them BECAUSE of their disability. Now keep your underoos on folks, I know what you are going to say and I have said that and more believe you me. You see the crafty bastards that they are know that this person would have a HUGE, I mean HUGE law suit if they actually came right out and said that they fired this vet BECAUSE of their disability, so they gave this person a raise then said that their job performance was in question. Yea, I smell it too. I wish I could say that this was a onetime occurrence, it’s not. This VA harasses, bullies and intimidates every vet that is in a position hire than a grounds keeper, because 99.99999999999999.99999999999% of ALL vets, disabled or not are only hired to either sweep floors or be grounds keepers, not a one is in a position of authority. I mean who better to put in a leadership role than someone who has actually lead people. Oh shit, what AM I thinking, can’t have that, that would make way to frigging much sense. There is another disabled vet that they forced to quit because they were doing the same thing as they did to the others, but instead of letting them fire them this person quit and they have three, yes 3, small children at home AND this person is a single parent. I also know this other vet who took the VA to court over the actions that were doing and the VA came right out and told this vet that “We’re the Federal Government, we have deep pockets and we’ll keep this in court until you are living on the streets broke”. This was said to a vet who gave freely to this country and this is the thanks they get. I have spoke to other vets about the “doctors” in the VA. IF they get to see them, (if they are not driving hours on end to get to this VA and sit for four to six, yes that’s 4 to 6 hours, BEFORE they even see a nurse), the “doctors” don’t even really check out the patient or really listen to what they are there for. They are “famous” for giving out medications that only make the person worse and when that person complains it’s the vets fault because they didn’t say anything. I mean it’s a bunch of camel hockey, this one vet went in for pain in the ribs and can feel them move when he breaths and the “doctor” touches the spot that hurts and he comes off the table and all “doctor” can say is take Motrin. And he tells the “doctor” that he was doing that for the last two weeks, since he was there last and the nurse said that the “doctor’ said to take the Motrin, even after the “doctor” put in this vets medical records that Motrin does NOT work for him. Then it has to be shingles, never mind that this vet showed NO signs or symptoms of shingles that’s what he was diagnosed with. I’m told that this vet talked to a doctor friend and that the doctor laughed and said No dude, you DON’T have shingles, I can tell just by what you have said that you have separated ribs”. Hmmm. Now this Monkey has never went to medical school, but even I could have told this vet that he didn’t have shingle and this doctor, just by listening and not looking or touching could tell that this vet didn’t have shingles. These are the types of “doctors” the VA gets. They don’t give a rat’s ass about the vets.
Now I know that you are saying “But Monkey, it can’t be like that everywhere, it just has to be happening there!” Well faithful followers and you not so faithful, it’s not. There is/was a vet in Dallas Texas that was thrown in jail for doing what the VA TOLD him to do. Seems that this hero was depressed and was really ill, with cancer and was contemplating suicide and called the VA Suicide Hotline (now it should be pointed out that this vet called the hotline more than a few times because he was not able to be seen by the Dallas VA Mental Health and he wanted to talk to someone, which is what I would think a hotline like that is for) and was told by the hotline to go to the VA Emergency Room, once he got there he called back and told them that he was there, they called the VA “Police”, who arrested him for, get this… you ready?... Are you sure?...Well sit down cause this one will knock you on your ass, he was arrested for making harassing phone calls. He sat in jail until he was brought to court where thankfully the judge was a vet as well and throw the case out, but by then the cancer he had spread and when I last heard he only had six months to life and that was three months ago.
Now I can go on and on and on and on and so on and so forth but unless I can tell two people and they can tell two people and so on and so on and we come together as one and work FOR and not against or nations heroes it’s not going to mean a bucket of warm panther piss because people are just to self absorbed to give a shit. We, as a people, need to take care of our vets. We need to not only thank them for the sacrifices they AND their families make for this country but we need to give them a lot more than just one day a year.
But Hey….. WhatdoIknow
Well I can answer that one for you so you don’t have to spend the day surfing the web to find that answer. The answer is right in front of 99.9999999% of all veterans. It’s called the Veterans Administration. These are the ass hats that are SUPPOSED to ensure that our nation’s heroes are taken care of, the men and women who have sacrificed and some to this day continue to sacrifice for this country and the people in it. I had thought that the problem has just in the town I live in, but as I investigated I found that it goes a lot deeper than just the VA here, I know of this vet who has what the VA terms a “Service Connection Disability”, that is to say that this person, this hero, was hurt or injured while defending this country. The VA has even got a rating system to say just how FUBAR’ed you really are. A vet is rated on a “scale”, from 0 to 100. If you are rated at 50% or higher you have certain “privileges” such as free prescriptions or no co-pay or what have you. You are also supposed to have preference in job hiring’s such as a 10 point veterans preference instead of a 5 point. Now I know that there are those of you out there reading this that are saying, “Well no shit Monkey, tell me something I don’t know”. Well I am not “recapping” the VA system for you guys cause I know that you know this and can tell your friends that don’t know what I’m talking about, what I’m talking about.
