Hot Flashes or How I Stopped Worrying About News Flashes

The media has been steadily aggravating me with their biased and slanted version of the news and frankly, it's time to start reacting to their inflated egos and commentary. Their motto seems to be "We are the media and we'll tell you what's going on"

Well, guess what! I speak three languages and have a very intimate knowledge of the English language. I have the ability to think for myself, listen to a speaker, comprehend the message and ascertain the direction of the speech. It is not necessary for some condescending asshole to paraphrase or explain to me what I heard.

In the Pennsylvania elections, Hillary Clinton won by ten points over Barack Obama and the media said that she still lost. Barack Obama leads the elections in delegates and the popular vote and the media says that he can't close the deal. Are we using the same glasses and the same hearing aid?

The media, like attorneys and the lawmakers in Washington, D.C., propagate and fuel their own existence. When political fires start burning low, they simply add fuel to the fire. The elections are a political process and the game isn't over until the fat lady sings.

The media is and has been biased in their views. Their ability to influence the public and manipulate the news for their own gains is becoming quite dangerous. They are the deliverers of the news, not the makers of the news, and it's time that they take the proper moral responsibility for their remarks and commentaries (Shall I remove the soapbox? Yes.).

Friday Night: My sojourn into AREA 51 started out at Lakes Cafe and Pub with my pal, Emilio. Owners Richard and Danny had a packed house and the karaoke show was going strong when we arrived around 10:00 p.m. I saw my pal Carole there and we sang "You've Got A Friend" by "Sweet Baby James" Taylor. When Lakes Cafe started slowing down, we headed over to the "Billiards Club" for a nightcap and I made it home by around 2:00 a.m.

The Cat's Ass Trophy: There was only one nominee for last week's CAT Award and that was actor Wesley Snipes, nominated by Garnett. Snipes was convicted last of income tax evasion and will be spending the next three years of his acting career in prison.

Mr. Snipes undoubtedly will lose his disdain of paying taxes over the next three years as well as the possible loss of other more intimate areas should his bunkmate be the notorious "Bubba" of jailhouse fame. We all have to pay taxes Mr. Snipes and you are no exception to the rule.

Therefore, the CAT Award and congratulations go to Wesley Snipes for his complete disregard for the laws of the land and income tax evasion. Way to set an example, Wes! You 'da man !

Odds And Ends: The stage is being set early for this week's CAT Award beginning with the 73 year old Austrian man, already nominated by Linda, that has been arrested for incest and imprisonment of his daughter for the past 24 years... Rev Jeremiah Wright is back in the news showing his disdain and contempt for anyone who dislikes his attitude and views. This asshole completely represents why thinking in terms of black and white will never come to be... Gasoline prices rose again today to an all-time high (until tomorrow). The idea of food prices rising will possibly be the next step towards confrontation and actual conflict with the oil producing nations, especially the middle east.

The Pictures: Tattoos, the whys and why nots. Some hopefully amusing photoshoped pictures may help you decide. I have some other interesting pics, mostly single entries, including watermelon art and some shots of something really neat. Unfortunately, I have completely forgotten it's category or where I put it. If you see additional pictures, that's them. If not, now you know why. 

This Date In History: 1789; Fletcher Christian led a mutiny on the British ship Bounty. Captain William Bligh and 18 loyalcrew members were set adrift on a small boat. 1945: Benito Mussolini, Italian fascist dictator, is shot by the Italian Resistance in Dongo, Italy.

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: The

A Somalian man arrives in New York City as a new immigrant. He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, You Americans have a wonderful country." The passerby says, " You are mistaken, I am an Arab from the Middle East."

He stops the next person he sees and says, "I want to thank you Americans for allowing me to come to your country."  The man replies, "I am not American, I am an African-American."

He sees a man approaching and he greets him with, "I want to thank you Americans for housing, food stamps, free education and welfare to help me." The man says, " I am not American, I am Mexican." He asks the man, "Where are all the Americans?" The Mexican looks at his watch and says, "Probably at work."

Ethel was a bit of a demon in her wheelchair, racing rapidly around the nursing home. The poor woman was one sandwich short of a picnic, so the other residents tolerated her antics and some of them actually joined in.

One day, Ethel was speeding down the corridor when a door opened and out stepped Kooky Clarence. He raised his hand and said, "Halt ! Do you have license to drive that thing?" Ethel reached into her pocket, pulled out the daily menu and handed it to Clarence. He said, "Very well, ma'am, you can go."

When she sped around the corner near the television lounge, out jumped weird Harold and said, "Stop ! Do you have proof of insurance?" Ethel reached into her pocket and handed the menu to Harold. He said, "OK, you may proceed."

As she raced toward her room, Horny Howard stepped in front of her, butt naked, with what was left of his manhood in his hand.  Ethel yelled, "Not that damned breathalyzer test again!"

That's it for today my little turnip greens. More tomorrow.
