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.

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

We have become a nation of morons!!!!! Part 2
First of all I would like wish this great country a Happy Belated Birthday and a belated Happy 4th to you all and to all the men and women, past and present who every wore the uniform of our country, Thank you for all that you have done and all that you have sacrificed for our freedom. I’d add myself to that Thank you, but since I’m the one that is thanking everyone I think it would be a little conceded of me to do so, but what the heck. I’m not conceded, I’m convinced. Before I get to far into this I feel that I should warn you that this could get a little bumpy, so if you need a potty break or you fell that you need to get your drink on and snack on, then by all means go ahead and do it now, we’ll wait. No, really we’ll wait… hummm hum ummmm hum, doo da dooo dee doo… oh your back, see I told you we’d wait. Always trust the Monkey. I would like to welcome Adrienne to our little tree. Now if we could just get others to join up and/or at least leave a comment or two.
Apparently, neither Megan Fox nor Lindsey Lohan reads this blog, because if they did they would have seen what was coming like a speeding freight train. If Megan Fox had read the first entry, (The First of Many), she could have seen what happened to another actress when she couldn’t keep her trap shut and was bad mouthing people. Ms. Fox opened her pie hole once too often and called the man who made her a star, Michael Bay, Hitler. That was the last straw, I’m sure for Mr. Bay and he fired her no talent ass from Transformers 3. And what did she do, went and got herself hitched, even after she said that she would not get married for a long time. I’m sure her agent had something to do with it. “Now Megan, you’ve been fired and no one wants to work with you because your bat shit crazy, so to appear normal you should do something normal, like… get married.” I’m sure that’s how it went. And as for Ms. Lohan, well she’s “supposed” to go to jail for 90 days. Not for driving drunk or running into parked cars or even for failing to show up to court when she was supposed to instead of hanging out on a yacht. She’s lucky that she’s ONLY getting 90 days, well more like 20 to 25 days or even doing the “celebrity jailhouse shuffle”, walk in, get processed and walk out, if I was the judge I would have sent her away for longer than that, what with the crocodile tears and “FU” painted on her finger nails, pointing at the judge wiping said tears away. She’s getting this “time” in jail for skipping class, her “mandatory” alcohol education class. Come on, seriously? If you or I had the fecal matter written on our finger nails they would have held us in contempt of court and thrown away the keys. Now I’ve been told recently that I seem to know more about this then most people. Well, what can you expect when that’s ALL that comes out of the idiot box these days? It’s either that or mistruths.
For those that do follow the “news”, there are two schools of thought. Right wing and left wing. Now I have never really understood what that means, to me wings are wings and can be quite tasty, especially with blue cheese, umm wings. I watch enough of the “news” programs to know that they are full of bull shit and one need’s to watch these programs with a bull shit detector. They ALL have grains of truth in them and it is up to you to pick out the truth. For example, let us take a look at one thing that seems to have everybody’s panties in a twist. That good old thing called “Senate Bill 1070” or as just about everyone that don’t know how to read calls it, “that fucking Arizona bill”. Now I ask you, how many of you have actually read it or at least knows someone who has read it and can read it to you. I have. I have read all 17 pages of this law, just as I have read all 1, 400 pages of the Health Care Bill. Wow, do I have too much time on my hands or what. People are bitching, whining, moaning and complaining about something that they don’t have a full understanding of, they’re pissed because they either can’t read, don’t read or are just so damn lazy that they let the “News” tell them what they should hear. In all the up roar over this not one person both in an outside the government, of any kind. County, State or Federal, not a one has said that this law mirrors the Federal law that is on the books. Title II, Chapter 7 of the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act says almost the same thing as Senate Bill 1070 does. What people are zoning in on is one paragraph found under the section on smuggling, and that would be Section E – “NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER LAW, A PEACE OFFICER MAY LAWFULLY STOP ANY PERSON WHO IS OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE IF THE OFFICER HAS REASONABLE SUSPICION TO BELIEVE THE PERSON IS IN VIOLATION OF ANY CIVIL TRAFFIC LAW AND THIS SECTION.” This is the part where everyone is saying that the police, the po-po, five-0 or whatever the kids are calling them now can stop a person that takes their kid to get ice cream. Ok, what part of “REASONABLE SUSPICION” don’t people get? The police have to articulate, that means to be clear, coherent, convey or just plain verbalize for those of you playing along at home that don’t have a third grade education like I do. The police HAVE to have a reason to stop someone or it could be their asses on the line. Now, hold on, I’m NOT saying that there might be some who abuse the law, even the letter of the law, but every job out there has someone that does that, but come on let’s get the facts straight, ma’am. The President has gone so far as to call this bill “misguided”. But he is not willing to let the laws that are already in place be enforced. Why? If you could tell me the answer to that I would be one happy monkey. Arizona has stated many, many time that they cannot keep doing business the way they are and that they are close to broke because they are doing these things for illegal immigrants. California and a few other states have called for a boycott of Arizona, while other states have begun looking at how they can do the same thing. Now, I hear a few of you grumbling back there, muttering that I’m un-American. That what I’m saying is not the American way. Well, let me put a kibosh on that right now there, Sparky. As I have stated before I love my Country, you cut me and I bleed Red, White and Blue. I believe in what the inscription that is found on the Statue of Liberty, "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door." I believe that if you want to come to this country and do so legally, then by all means welcome, how I can help you get settled in your new life. But if someone breaks that law, then they are a criminal and should be treated as such. This country was founded on the principals that anyone could come and make it here. They came, learned the language and became an AMERICAN, not a insert you nationality here-American. People were proud to say that they were Americans, but not anymore. Now you have to say that you an XYZ-American and no matter how you slice it, that’s just wrong.
The other thing about the “news” is that they tell you what you should hear. I mean has anyone heard about the huge protest in New York City (New York City? Get a rope! Hmm wonder where that’s from?) at Ground Zero? Did you, huh, huh???? I had to do some hunting to find out anything about it. Why? Because it wasn’t on the News, they didn’t feel that it was news worthy. A protest of 5,000 to 10,000 people is not “news worthy?” And just what were all these people protesting? The fact that the Governor and the Mayor are not doing anything to stop a Mega-Mosque from being built on the site of the World Trade Center. Putting this “religious symbol” on the ashes of those who died there almost nine years ago. I read something a while back that has stuck with me and I believe it. The saying was “Not all Muslims are Terrorists, but all Terrorists are Muslims.” I have known some Muslims and I have been invited into their homes, I have broke bread with them and not one of them wanted to kill me because I was an infidel they were the kindest people I’ve met. But what does it say when not only Americans gather in protest to stop something like this, but immigrants from India, Egypt, Russia, Europe, Israel, Africa and Iran. IRAN!!!! One has to assume that there were more than a few Muslims in that crowd and they don’t want a Mosque built there either. But here’s the part that scares me the most, not one major news station or news paper reported on the story. Why? Have we become so complacent in our lives that we forgot where we were on that day. Or are we just going to listen to the so called “experts” who say that we shouldn’t remember what happed that day and we should just forget what we felt? Me, I say they can just ingest feces and decompose.

We have become a nation of morons!!!!!
As each day passes I realize that I am becoming more like my father every day, something I proud of if you really must know. I think I have the greatest dad in the known AND unknown universe. I was blessed by having two very loving and caring parents who took a young monkey into their home and raised him as one of their own and not only that but they insisted that I get an education. If I was being raised by them today would I still have the same values that I do today??? Probably not. In a world that is so self obsessed with themselves and what everyone and everything can do for them it’s hard to imagine that there is anyone out there that gives a rat’s ass about where we are heading. Now I have spoke about some of the morons in Hollywood before and how everyone hangs on every word of the gossip rags and the people who just don’t get the whole driving thing, that one still pisses me off, thank God I’m out of the big cities. I seem to be a dying breed, the breed that reads. Hey, look I rhymed, sweet. :) But I digress, I had parents that actually cared that I could not ONLY read, but write AND SPELL as well. I have read other blogs as well on the internet, the idiot box of this generation, (Can anyone tell me what the last generation’s idiot box was? Vickie’s ahead of everyone, she not only knew my movie quote BUT knew who Mortimer Snerd is/was. You people are sorely lagging behind this smart lady.) Now I don’t know if it’s because of texting like the so called “experts” say it is or if it’s due to people just being lazy or a combination of both. May be it’s the teachers fault that little Johnny can’t read or spell, I mean shit it’s SSSSSOOOOOO hard to know the difference between hey and hay or the difference between there and their. Hell, I’ve seen people screw up the word “AND”, how do you do that exactly? That one still baffles me. Is it Clinton’s fault? (Doing the best Clinton impersonation an Annoyed Monkey can do, “Can I get the definition of and?” “Can you tell me what “is” is?” Come on really, are we really that stupid. I watched the movie “Idiocracy” a couple of years ago, and while it was a stupid movie, I could not help but sit there and say to myself, “Damn, I know these people!!!” Where’s the pride we once had? Where’s the joy in knowing that when you do something and do it right you feel you’ve won because you just learned something??? I really want to tell these people to stop being so lazy and do the work, trust me it’s rewarding. And to those “experts” that say its not little Johnny’s fault that he’s stupid, I say this, why don’t you ingest fecal matter and make guttural noises at Earth’s natural rotating satellite!!!!! (That’s a polite way of saying what???)
And another thing that’s annoying me, gigantor in its Hover Round sucking down Big Macs like Jabba the Hut sucking down those frog thingies in Return of the Jedi and complaining that it’s the Big Macs that are making them fat. No, it couldn’t be the fact that they have the will power of a two toed sloth, wait, I shouldn’t be that mean to sloths should I? It’s people like this that screw it up for the rest of us. Now, now, now, before any of you get your knickers in a twist let my say that I am not one of those elitist snobs that think they know what is right for you and your family, because I’m not. You want to cram those five Big Macs into your cavernous maw then you go right ahead and do so, but shut the hell up about how you are the victim, cause you’re not. It’s your choice to do what you are doing NOT the fast food places you visit fifteen times a day. Get your lard ass out of your Hover Round and walk a little, get active. We all ready have too much government in our lives, and with the Demotazys forcing the Health Bill down our throats they have put in a provision that makes fast food chains put the calorie content on the menu as the bill H.R. 2426 is wanting to do. Now while that MIGHT be a good thing, the government has gone a step further and are adding HUGE taxes on not only fast food, but soda, candy, cigarettes, and bottled water. BOTTLED WATTER??????? The one thing on that list that is NOT harmful to you, like fat, sugar or nicotine. People don’t need the government in the living room, bedrooms or anyplace they choose to eat. What people need is a little will power and exercise.
But hey… WhatdoIknow!!!!
