They bought it

November 5th, 2008 by Laz

I was talking to a friend at work today, about the election the day before.  Well, more about the outcome really.  I was expressing my amazement at the turnout for voters, more than I have ever seen, huge numbers of new voters, especially young people.  That was when it dawned on us, all of the young people are who voted for Obama.  They listened to hiw carefully crafted speeches and they bought it, hook, like and sinker.  Those of us that have been around awhile know better, but the new voters actually believe the hype.

Here we are, Comrade

November 5th, 2008 by Laz

Well folks, here we are.  The people of the United States have elected Hussein Obama as president.  It’s no surprise to me, I expected this all along seeing as how charismatic and well spoken he is.  Plus, with G.W.’s approval rating, he pretty much handed the election to the opposing party.

Obama has said some great things, things that made me want to vote for him.  It’s the things he says and does (votes on) when he doesn’t have a mic and TV camera in front of him that scare me.  He has proven that he wants to get rid of all guns, period.  He has said that he will bankrupt the coal industry, and hurt any other carbon fuel operations.  He has said that gas and electricity prices will go through the roof, and he can’t wait for that.  He has said he wants to push his agendas of income re-distribution, which is basically socialism.  Making sure that those who work support those who don’t, and where then is the incentive for me to work hard then?  Why is it worth my time to improve myself and get better qualified in life if everything I gain gets taken away from me and given to someone who is too lazy to better themselves?

Despite what this reads like, I am hopeful.  I am hopeful that I am wrong and that Obama will turn out to be the Messiah that the biased press has painted him to be.  I personally believe though, when I compare his words to his deeds, that he is full of hot air.  Guess what?  I think we are seeing that already, because the day after the election Obama is already back pedalling.  He was on TV this morning stating that (paraphrased from memory) “it may not be in this four years, it may be in another four years, but there will be change”.  Doesn’t that sound a lot like him telling us to overlook all that he said he was gonna do, because now it isn’t really going to happen?  Seems like it to me, but what do I know.

This is going to be an interesting four years, and I guess we all have to call each other Comrade now.

Obama’s Aunt Is An Illegal Alien

November 2nd, 2008 by Laz

So, let us take a look at this, shall we?  Here is a man, who is portrayed by the media to be all but the second coming (and maybe even that too).  This man wants to be in charge of the most powerful nation in the free world.  This man, Barack Hussein Obama, who has less time in office than Sarah Palin who gets attacked left and right for her “inexperience”, wants us to trust him with everything that is America.  He claims to be knowlegable enough, and smart enough to handle the job of running a super power, but he doesn’t know that his own aunt is in this country illegally.  He knows that she is from Kenya, but claims he didn’t know that she was in fact not a citizen and that she had been ordered back to her home country some time ago.  Something doesn’t add up here.  Either he is hiding something and lied about it, or he is just that freakin’ clueless.  Either way, I don’t think I want him in my white house.

On another note, according to this article, she was living in public housing.  OK, there is nothing wrong with that, but does that mean that he cared so little for his own family that he couldn’t take some of his piles of cash and help her out by getting her into a better place?  Again, not the kind of thing that makes me want him deciding the future of the country I call home.  This whole thing sounds pretty darn lame if you ask me, and don’t get the impression I am just bashing Obama, cause I am not.  I don’t like McCain either, but this story about Obama’s aunt just had me flabbergasted, so I felt I had to share.

Presidents or Celebrities?

November 1st, 2008 by Laz

You know, as I watch everything unfold in these last few days before election day, it is obvious that this election or maybe the winner of this election, is not about who is best for this country and it’s people.  No, it’s about who has more millions to throw at Radio, Television, Internet and any other advertisement they can think of.  I mean, jeese, Obama (The Mesiah) has his own freakin’ TV channel!  When did that ever sound like it was proper?  Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great PR move, but it’s not the way I want to elect a president.  Brainwashing the public with SO MANY repetitive ads that they go to vote as veritable zombies.

Another thing while I am on a roll, who in their right mind thinks that robotized cold calling at all hours of the day and night is a good idea?  Hmmm?  It’s not people, let me tell you.  I think I am going to end up voting for whoever called me the least, which I guess means I am voting Libertarian again.  I am a registered Republican and I get more calls from Obama that McCain.  Truth be told, I don’t like either one all that much, I just think McCain will do less damage before he is through.

Unless you have a few hundred million to spend on advertising, you don’t have a chance of winning the presidential election, and that’s just sad.  It should be about who is best, not who is sold the most like a damn used car.  It seems that noone in the media, or in politics, or business either I guess after all that has happened, gives a damn about anyone but themselves.  What has this country come to?

Brett Michaels Ain’t Metal

October 25th, 2008 by Laz

So I normally don’t watch MTV, but I was channel surfing through the programming guide on the Satellite and saw Metal Mania on MTV.  Well, being a Metal Head I decided to stop and take a look, knowing that they rarely have anything good playing.  What did I see? I am sure from the title that you can guess, I saw Brett Michaels singing some new tune he has out now … sounds like some kind of rap song with guitars to me.  Anyway, the point is that Brett Michaels is NOT metal, he never has been metal, and he never will be metal.  He isn’t even Rock and Roll.  He is simply some guy made in the studio by a producer because “popular” music nowadays is all about the image the record company can sell rather than the music, and as long as the sheeple of America keep buying into whatever crap spews forth from their TV set because some guy on there says it’s cool, it won’t get any better.

Illegal Aliens and Fraudulent Mortgages

October 10th, 2008 by Laz

The mainstream media has yet to report this, so I thought I would break the news. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reports that five million fraudulent home mortgages are in the hands of illegal aliens. That’s right, five million criminals (illegal aliens) have fraudulent mortgages.  Five freakin’ million.  Whoah!

I wonder how much that has contributed to the subprime mortgage meltdown.

Cutting Taxes For People Who Don’t Pay Taxes

October 10th, 2008 by Laz

Do you really want to know how Barack Obama is going to cut taxes on 95% of Americans when 45% of these Americans don’t pay income taxes in the first place? You should already know the answer to this question … but if you’ve been listening to too much sports talk radio, here you go. It’s very simple. Obama will just pass a series of new tax credits for the Americans. Tax credits — sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? Those tax credits will lower taxes for just about everyone! Well … there are a few things you need to know about these so-called credits.

First … these tax credits will not be available to the evil high income earners who we rely on to create the new jobs that will help our economy grow. The tax credits are only for people who might be likely to vote democrat.

Secondly … they’re not just tax credits, they’re “refundable” tax credits. In other words, they’re a fraud. As we know, about 45% of Americans don’t pay income taxes. A tax credit is not useful to someone who owes no income taxes … unless, that is, it is a “refundable” credit. Now what does that mean? It means that if you do not make enough to pay income taxes, the government will simply write you a check equal to the amount of the credit you can’t use! Do you know what we used to call this? Welfare, that’s what. Barack Obama’s promise of a tax cut for 95% of Americans is really nothing less than a promise of a new welfare income redistribution program. Doesn’t make sense or sound fair does it?  Can anyone say “buying votes”?

P2P Killing Hollywood? No, they just SUCK!

October 5th, 2008 by Laz

You know, I am really tired of the motion picture industry as well as the recording industry now that I think about it, complaining about how things like file sharing, digital rentals, iTunes and DVDs are killing their box office business.  I mean, I am really tired of it.  Why?  Well, has anyone actually paid attention to the new movies, TV shows and music that the entertainment industry as a whole is putting out nowadays?  If you have you know that 90% or more of it is unoriginal and terrible, it sucks bad.

I am real tired of old movies being re-made.  Anyone see Walking Tall?  Yeah, it was nothing like the original (which was a great movie), and it sucked.  Not becuase it deviated from the predecessor, but because they wrote a really lousy movie and figured if “The Rock” was in it that it would be a hit no matter what lame ass story they came up with.  Don’t get me wrong, I like the Rock, but I think even he had to know that movie was awful.

Want even more proof that Hollyweird is out of ideas?  Movies that get made based on video games.  HELLO!  There is a reason that a game is popular and a movie of the same name is not.  You play the game, you interact with it, you get to evolve with it.  In the movie you are watching a poorly written copy of the game that you already have in your head.  It can’t come close to what you already have experienced.  And if you have never played the game, it won’t make any sense anyway.

What about movies based on comic books?  Now there is nothing wrong with that really, but DO THE MOVIES CORRECTLY!  I mean come on, how many batman movies did they have to make before they got it right?  Did it take some big name star to pull it off?  NO!  The big name stars bombed, but the unknown actor kicked ass.  Why?  Because they FINALLY wrote a good story!  Come on Hollywood, hire some good writers.  Drop the FX budget a little and work on the story, you’ll be glad you did.

OK, I gotta stop now, I am getting all worked up.  I just wish that the entertainment people would wise up and quit blaming the lackluster performance of the crap they produce on all of us consumers that don’t buy it because it’s steaming piles of crap layered on baked crispy crap, topped of with crappy whipped crap topping.  Who wants to spend $20 at the movies to watch these tired old poorly done remakes anymore?  Exactly.

Well, better late than never I have always said.  I suppose it is about time I make an introduction as it were.  For like, the two or three people that actually come visit this place.  I have been persuaded to join the rank and file here to try and liven this place up.  Let me tell you now that there ain’t really any subject that’s off limits, so you don’t ever know what might be coming out my mouth.

So, here we have it, hello from Billy Ray Valentine (no, not that one).  Keep a look out for new pedantic pontification from the one and only … me.
