2nd Grade Monster Gets Ass Pepper Sprayed

I understand how special this kid must be and this seems a bit extreme. However maybe in the future this little shit will think twice before behaving like this again. What if he had brought a gun from his parents house who taught him the values he showed with these actions.

The child, identified only by his first name, Aiden, by 9News, spit at teachers, called them the f-word and tried to stab them with a 1-foot strip or wood trim he tore from the wall, according to a police report.

Ah The Masters For Poor People

Not just everyone can get into this special event for what was for decades something for rich white men only. Word on the street is this black man needed money for admission and did not like the baptism talk from two insane mormon women trying to convert him. So he stole their purses and the crazy's should feel lucky he didn't kill them. I hope he gets a good seat.

Two Mormon missionaries were robbed at gunpoint Saturday. The man fled with the purses, whose contents included a Bible, camera, cell phone, cigarette case, Book of Mormon and driver's licenses, the report said.

On Health Insurance

Last fall there were some unusual pain coming from the hip area. Wanted to know and went to a hip bone specialist and requested an x-ray which I got. I'm good to go till the end which was important to know. The doc was a cornfield boy and we had much in common and shared a bunch of yucks. That cost me $20.

Not long ago got a piece of steel in my eye and the ladies in Salida took care of that for me pronto. That was another $20 and $10 for some eye drops.

A week ago about right at this time had a colonoscopy. I'm good to go for 10 years. A 1400 smack deal and it cost me $50 for the prescription.

I was treated so nice each time. Those are the times in the last 10-15 years I have used my health insurance excluding dental and I need to get a minor thing done before I'm done in October.

I will probably this summer get a minor physical and some blood work done to see if there is anything that can be found now that will kill me in the next three years. If there is I'll keep working because if not I'm done.

What's this mean. Well that I'm pretty healthy and lucky too. How lucky I'll be for three years without insurance remains to be seen.

Fly is just a peckerhead and a pissant in time like we all are but at the very least the most powerful and at one time the richest country country in the world could at the very minimum provide screening to all residents of this country to find and prevent diseases from killing when there is no need to die.

It's not hard to do that but war is more profitable so there ya go ya see.

One last thing is in 2014 when we get charged from the government for insurance I damn well better get something for it because there's little money there for nothing.

UPDATE
I just remembered maybe three years ago had a biopsy done to check for skin cancer. There was none. This is something that kills very easily. Not much at all if detected early.

Rebel Cry To Arms From The Left

Let's understand those in DC elected to congress with a D behind their name are not that. They are hardly much different than those who wear the R. Here's Bill.

Former President Bill Clinton says the Obama administration should consider arming rebels fighting to oust strongman Moammar Gadhafi in Libya.

What a fine acknowledgment on another anniversary of the assassination of Dr. King. You war mongering sonsofbitches and that includes the most recent peace prize winner as well!

Silence In Chernobyl

Some time ago a friend sent me a link to Chernobyl Revisited. A Russian women who rides a motorcycle travels to and posts pictures and her thoughts from what she sees around and near the Chernobyl disaster. It is very revealing and put up an example below because more than once she comments on how totally spooky silent it is everywhere. This is worth perusing a bit and I guess this is what will be coming to parts of Japan sooner than later.

This town might be an attractive place for tourists. Some tourists companies have been trying to arrange tours in this town, but the first group of tourists found the silence unnerving and downright SPOOKY. And it is. They charged 1200 hryvnas for a 2 hour excursion and after some 15 minutes, they wanted to flee to the outside world. The silence here is deafening.

Cletis's Pledge To The Baggers

LINK

The Cletis Stump Pledge

     "I hereby pledge to inform others, even those I find difficult, regarding the duplicity and chicanery of the modern Republican party. I will provide examples supported by facts and easily referenced sources. I will do this through personal contact, letters to the editor of my local paper, distribution of informative flyers door to door, and any other method which fits my life's circumstance. I will do this in an on-going manner and will not allow gross ignorance nor pervasive apathy, which I will surely encounter, to dissuade me."

     The following list was borrowed from Rich Miles who posted it on his blog Logical Negativism. Rich received it as an e-mail from his friend, Trebonska. Rich is a unique thinker and we recommend you visit his place and prowl around a bit. There is a link at the bottom of the post.

Teabaggers' Mistakes

Questions for the "Tea Party": What took you so long to get angry?

You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.

You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed for political reasons.

You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.

You didn't get mad when we invaded a country that posed no threat to us and spent over 800 billion (and counting) on said war.

You didn't get mad when Bush borrowed more money from foreign sources than the previous 42 Presidents combined.

You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars in cash just disappeared in Iraq.

You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.

You didn't get mad when Bush embraced trade and outsourcing policies that shipped 6 million American jobs out of the country.

You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.

You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.

You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed Army Hospital.

You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.

You didn't get mad when we gave people who had more money than they could spend over a trillion dollars in taxbreaks..

You didn't get mad with the worst 8 years of job creation in several decades.

You didn't get mad when over 200,000 US citizens lost their lives because they had no health insurance.

You didn't get mad when lack of oversight and regulations from the Bush Administration caused US citizens to lose 12 trillion dollars in investments, retirement, and home values.

No . . . You finally got mad when a black man was elected President and decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.

Then And Now 40 Years Ago

Looking around for the post below this one came across a quote from a icon of the world who was instrumental in ending the Vietnam War and paid a huge price for the stance he took. We need dozens like him now but this is about something else and reading his quote from four decades ago it appears not all that much has changed.

“A lot of ‘em want me whipped because of the draft,” Ali said before the fight. “A lot of ‘em want me whipped because of religion. A lot of ‘em want me whipped because I’m black … and for other reasons that I might not even know about.”

His short quips were some of the most powerful ever said by anyone.

Gil Clancy

There was a period where boxing was a must watch for a long time and then the corporations and huge money came into the picture and whored this sport out as never before and it was then my relationship with that sport three decades ago ended.

There was one man who didn't go along with that and remained true to the sport and that was Gil Clancy. I always respected him and his opinions and want to acknowledge him and the fact he has passed away.

Gil Clancy, a Hall of Fame trainer and manager who worked with many top fighters including Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and George Foreman, died on Thursday at age 88.

Hardly Anyone Knows Or Cares

The number is in for last month and it's not a good one. It's never a good one when it represents deaths of people who have died for nothing but the whims of corporate whore politicians that love war and death just as long as it's not them or theirs. That's right we're supposed to be leaving soon and then all will be just fine ya see.
