Results of Random Voting

It takes a certain type of person to be in political office. Yes, some Senators and Congressmen have altruistic intentions, but even those with the best of motives are the selfish and greedy sort. It's all about power and connections, which ultimately lead to loads of money. At least that's what the media has led me to believe over the past 40 years. Yes, I watched the news when I was five, believe it or not. Well, I did not actually watch it, but learned of news through osmosis, as I sat in front of the TV playing barbies while my grandmother watched the news.

When I turned 18, my grandmother encouraged me to vote. She said, "you have to sign up as a Democrat." Of course I had to register as a Republican because she told me to be a Democrat. I was 18 and no one was going to tell me what to do by God. Now, I cannot stand either party. In fact, I cannot stand anyone who sits in Congress on their high and mighty thumb, voting aimlessly while the little guy suffers. Do these congressman have a tough job? Probably. However, I believe if they are sitting in Congress, they need to have enough brains and common sense to pass a budget. They also need to have enough responsibility to do what is in the best interest of those who put their sorry butts in there.

Maybe, just maybe, there are a handful of these congressmen who don't care and are being passive aggressive, or think it's funny to just randomly vote the opposite of what everyone else is voting. You remember the kid in class who took those Scan-tron tests and filled in random bubbles to make a smiley face while he hysterically giggled to himself? I think that's what some of our leaders up in Washington DC are doing just to piss off the president.

This brings me to the importance of voting. Voting does not mean going to the polls on election day and filling in the bubbles randomly just because you like a politician's hair or his smile. Please, for the love of all that is good, please do research on the candidates. I will give you some examples of people who were voted into office who never, should have been there. They got into office with a flashy smile and some quick talking, so be careful who you vote into office.

Remember Rob Lagoyavich? He actually tried to sell President Obama's Senate seat and was also extremely arrogant. He did not have a charitable bone in his body. Who the hell voted that idiot into office?

Then there was Anthony Weiner. What a complete doofus that guy was. He obviously got into office and was able to get a beautiful wife by being a master manipulator; a fast talker.

Lastly, there is Obama. I am highly disappointed in what he has done with our country. He got in there because he could talk a good game. His speeches were so eloquent and he bamboozled the world with his, "Yes we can" baloney. Now look at the mess we are in.

I for one am tired of these politicians thinking they can do whatever the hell they want with no consequences. Our futures are in their hands. Do you feel confident that they will make the right decisions for our lives; for our kids lives?

The Wal-Mart Lady and the Pee Bag

On occasion my fans will send me unusual Wal-martian photos, but this one sent to me by my dad yesterday really takes the cake. This is definitely a fashion no no for those who have no clue about how to dress themselves. If you have to wear a pee bag, please for everyone's sake wear long pants. OMG!!!

Drive By Shooting Prompts Lady To Don Helmet

This past Saturday night, there was a drive by shooting next to the industrial park in which I work.
Photobucket
This is nothing new. We've had swat teams running through the parking lot (twice), men arrested right in the street in front of our building, kids vandalizing the floor in which our office resides, the locks on our cars punched out, etc. It's gotten much worse since we moved into the area about 12 years ago, and needless to say, our office will be moving out of this area at the end of this year. We've had enough.

At any rate, when Marty drove me to work this morning, just a few days after the shooting, we got an eye full of an elderly lady standing on the corner, wearing a football helmet.
Photobucket
We could only surmise that she now feels the needs to wear one to deflect bullets that may come her way. Although it is sad in a way that she feels like her life is in danger and believes she can protect herself by wearing a helmet, we could not help but find a small bit of humor in her costume. I thought I'd share it with my blog fans to show that no matter how bad we may think our problems are, there is always someone who is worse off.

Woman Missing For 40 Years Re-appears

Have you ever thought to yourself how wonderful it would be to just run away to another state or even another country and never come back? Something stops you, right? Honestly, I have thought about it, but then I think about how hurt my family members and loved ones would be. I love them too much to do something so selfish. I also think about how the grass is not always greener on the other side, and if I did this, what kind of job could I possibly get that would provide a decent enough paycheck to keep me in the lifestyle to which I have become accustomed to. This lady apparently got ticked off enough to run away and never come back... until now. How odd is that?

Alien Space Ships... Really???!

This is just another video taken by people who think they saw Alien Space Ships in the sky over London. Like I have said before, I believe it is possible that there are other forms of life out there, but how come whenever an earthling sees something like this, they automatically think it's life visiting from somewhere in outer space. The below video in particular just looks like some kind of reflection on the lens, or maybe the video just didn't do it justice. I am curious. Has anyone seen real proof of alien space ships, other than white dots flying around in the sky or an obviously enhanced video? If so, I am interested in seeing it.
