Why Am I Not Voting for Hillary

The following is why I am not voting for Hillary Clinton:
















The following is why I am not voting for myself.

The Greatest Generation meets Technology

We recently bought my grandmother a portable DVD player. Big buttons and only 4 of them. It could not have been designed more simple. Now this wasn't to watch movies - oh Lord no, that would require menus and choices and listening to things and time. And oh my, you know how busy they are these days, with the moaning and groaning, the pill-taking, Shepherd Smith. "Oh Adam, we can't go to the mall, it's almost 2 o'clock, supper is soon." Translation: Grandma needs a drink.

I digress.

The DVD player was to view pictures. Turn it on. Open the cover. Insert CD that grandson sent you with pictures on it. Press play button. View photos.

Easy. As. Pie.


Or so we thought. The pictures pretty much wrap it up.

The Farm is Sold

Papa sold the farm. Well maybe not all of it, but the house and a few acres were sold to a 20-something Weimar divorcee. Oh the glamorous lives of young, recently single Weimar divorcees. I am sure that Candace Bushnell (author of "Sex and the City") will have a new book out in no time detailing the non-stop drama of the Weimar dating scene and nightlife. I wonder if the farm will now turn into the ultimate bachelor pad - flat-screen televisions to replace the wooden one. A kegger in the backyard instead of "boat boys." Hot pockets and taquitos instead of corn bread and pecan pie.

On a more serious note, it is sad to see the house go. Aside from your hometown memories, everyone has that special place where so many of your fondest childhood memories were made. Some have a camp they go to every summer or maybe a lake house or beach house. My brothers and I had the farm. It wasn't big or fancy. It didn't have cable or even an answering machine. It will not sell for a lot of money or provide a place to retire. But for three wild, and let's face it - weird, boys - it was perfect. The stereotypical boy adventures were all there: fishing, hunting, climbing trees, an occasional horse, always work to do. Life was slower at the farm, but a bit fuller. I will miss it.

Clean block here by UCLA. In other fake news, I'm not bitter about the game or about having to watch the michigan state - pitt blowout instead until the last 3 minutes, and I'm getting a lot of homework done.

For those keeping the score at home, a&m has been eliminated two years in a row off terrible calls. Sloan getting mauled against UCLA and sloan with a phantom foul against memphis that puts them on the line to take the lead.

...again, not bitter.

Obama's positions lack transparency

This is a grossly unreported story which has been ignored by the liberal media. How much longer can we let the liberal media in this country deny valuable information to concerned citizens about a candidate's positions on important issues. While John McCain has voiced his opinions on issues important to the east, west, south and midwest, Obama only gives minimal information on what he truly believes. Of the little information that he gives, these opinions always seem to be pandering to a particular group to the detriment of the entire nation without regard to his true feelings.

Example, here. I mean, how can people not see through the fact that he is picking Pittsburgh to make it to the final four with the Pennsylvania primary coming up? Why doesn't he just post his entire bracket displaying all of his positions. Hillary, as always, has deferred to Bill when making an important decision.

McCain has posted all of his positions with all of his tournament picks here compared to Obama who has made his positions unknow, AGAIN. McCain has a conservative bracket which makes the likes of pat robertson and larry moore happy.

Damn liberal media. Demand transparency of politicians tournament brackets! Besides, it's just as relevant as the jeremiah wright and old age issues anyway.

Wall Street Vandals

Here is something that the news hardly ever mentions, but should get more publicity. CEOs are getting huge payouts after gettting fired for sucking at their jobs. Former Citigroup CEO Charles Prince got canned because he was awful. Last April, Prince cut his corporations compliance staff because he though playing by the rules would make Citigroup "less competitive". Nice work, Chuck. At least there wasn't a bunch of people in your company trying to hide subprime losses, because that would destroy investor confindence in your company. Oh wait there were? Man, a good compliance department might have caught that. Oh well. On his way out the door though, Prince was able to pick up a $40 million severance package as well as a car, driver, office, and spot on the payroll for the next 5 years. Not bad for a guy who oversaw the largest bank in the world lose half of its worth in a little over 6 months. Stan O'Neal was the man in charge when Merryl Lynch lost $2.24 billion in one quarter, a record for the 93 year old company and 6 times as large as what he was promising analysts. He is now forced to eek out a living on the $161 million he got as a severance package. Richard Grasso was the man in charge of the New York Stock Exchange, which was not for profit at the time. He got to hand pick the committee that determined his compensation. When it came to light that he was doing this, he was let go, with a $140 million severance package. CEOs have the most important job in American business. Thousands of workers and their families are affected by their actions. If a regular American worker doesn't perform to expectations, he or she loses his job. Normally, these people don't get any severance package, just a kick out the door. I don't mind a CEO getting paid lots of many if he or she is doing a good job, but it sickens me to see Citigroup lose half its value, lay off thousands of workers, and give this douchebag Prince $40 million to leave. Oh, and Prince will pay a much lower tax rate this year than anyone reading this blog.

And Obama and Hillary, stop talking about whose minister said what and what fairy dust you are going to sprinkle to give laid off coal miners in Pennsylvania their jobs back and start talking about how CEOs and boards of directors are ripping us off. Talk about what you are going to do to prevent Warren Buffett from paying a lower tax rate than his secretary. Tell me why a CEO who makes 1000 times more than his average employee can get millions of dollars for not being very good at his job, but the common man gets a pink slip and the chance to buy COBRA health insurance at $600 a month.

Are you kidding me?

So let me get this straight.....

White cop gets stupidly drunk + White cop drives a car + White cop runs into a car driven by a Mexican dude = Mexican dude gets arrested for negligent murder

That is embarrassing for our justice system. I know Houston law enforcement is racist, but I thought they at least tried to hide it.

Yao Ming is out for the season!!! Revised....

Apparently I was wrong in my previous pictures. Here is an updated one.....

Why Hillary Won't Be Getting on the $3 Bill Anytime Soon

I am astounded at how many gays and lesbians support Hillary Clinton. In California, 63% of homosexuals voted for Clinton. In New York, 59% voted for her. All this despite the fact that her husband signed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996 and instigated the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy in 1993 despite a campaign promise that he would let gays and lesbians into the army. Homosexuals are the last group of people in America that are openly discriminated against, but Hillary will only speak for their cause when it is politically convenient, and she will only do so quietly. Meanwhile Obama recently told a group of black Christians in Beaumont that the way homosexuals are treated in America is not very Christian. Obama will question the way gays are treated in the middle of a campaign to black Christians in East Texas, and some think Hillary Clinton will do more to advance the rights of gays? Shouldn't Obama be getting like 90% of the gay vote or something? I mean, only Madonna should be more popular among gays right now. Whats the deal?

Michigan/Florida and one hilarious preacher

Considering a revote or whatever in these states would seem to favor clinton, what do obama supporters that read this blog (read - probably only steven cause I think only me and you respond anymore) think of revoting in those states?

I really do enjoy the freshness the Obama campaign has brought to the political arena (while I despise the messianism) but it seems odd to me that the "politics of hope" instead of the "politics of the washington" isn't more upset about this issue. He stated that we should "play by the rules to which we agreed." How can we simply not give voters a choice? How incredibly stupid is it for the DNC to piss off so many voters in crucial states?

Anytime in the future that I ever hear a Democrat upset that those evil Republicans are disenfranchising voters, I will simply laugh to myself remembering 2008 when the DNC didn't give a vote in the primaries to two states that represent 5,000,000 people.

Carville chimes in




"The devil is a motherfucking liar! So you know I ain't worried bitch!"


Steven, It may only be you that watched this guy. If anybody else hasn't (or god forbid, steven didn't click every link on gorillamask) you need to watch this preacher on whom I will be modeling all my sermons. Apparently this guy is broadcasting from prison. Awesome. Plus the way the camera works in this video just adds to the impression that he is on coke.

Pool Pictures!

Get in shape and get to Dallas! The pool is well on its way - here are pictures after a week of construction. P.S. Obama is awesome.
