The reaction of politicians to the Arizona tragedy

It looks like politicians have decided to react to this, not with legislation but by stating they will now carry guns at all times. People welcome to the Wild Wild West. I am going to go buy the Clint Eastwood movie collection for preparation I suggest you do the same.

How difficult it is to be funny when the country is falling apart

Nation you are going to hear people condemn the actions that occurred in Arizona as heinous and unjustifiable. Which no one would disagree with, but I have to say the anger, hatred and polarization that has been dispersed in our country has a lot to do with this. Before you cast what I am going to say as "Liberal" rhetoric, understand I do not associate with ANY political group. Throughout the upcoming week you will hear ALL people in politics from constituents to political pundits denounce the actions of Jared Lee Loughner as horrible. But we cannot allow the people who created the aura of hatred that has plagued America since Barack Obama's taking of office to passively get away with no repercussions. Yes Jared Lee Loughner is a psychotic person who took things to far but if his television, his youtube and his life wasn't filled with the hatred we see on a daily basis, for example a woman getting attacked for opposing a rally (Click Here to view), then maybe things like this would not occur. Let us not forget the conspiracy theorists who encourage people to prepare for a "Military State" in the near future. Combine all of this nonsense and a shooting of innocent lives is what you will get. So when you hear Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Keith Olbermann, Sarah Palin, Alex Jones, the creators of "Loose Change", Rand Paul and Rush Limbaugh, condemn the actions of Jared Lee Loughner do not buy into it. The people listed are the reason why people feel helpless where they to using guns instead of reason (School Board Shooting). You and I need to make sure these people are held accountable. Polarization, hatred and paranoia will lead to this beautiful country's demise. We have to restore some form of civility back into our culture. With time we as a country tend to forget tragedies we suffer, but when you feel your day is just not going your way, remember Christina-Taylor Green. She is the 9 year old who was shot and killed two days ago in Arizona. Remember her before you buy into any type of negativity you hear from anyone in politics. I leave you with words from Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, who more than likely will be chastised as a "crazy liberal" which in turn will continue the viscous circle of media hatred. He criticized “people who are making a living off of inflaming the American public":

"When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government, the anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous. And unfortunately, Arizona has become sort of the capital. We have become the mecca for prejudice and bigotry.

Let me say one thing, because people tend to pooh-pooh this business about all the vitriol that we hear inflaming the American public by people who make a living off of doing that. That may be free speech, but it’s not without consequences. I want to tell you right now that people like myself are very, very angry at what’s going on in our country, and I think that it’s time that we take a look at what kind of hatred that we inflame by all the crap that goes on. I’m a close friend of Gabrielle Giffords’, and she is one of the most beautiful human beings that you can imagine. I think it’s time that this country take a little introspective look at the crap that comes out on radio and TV."

If that isn't enough here is Gabrielle Giffords discussing one of Sarah Palin's popular tactics:

The end of the world is becoming more and more apparent... And I still haven't built my bomb shelter!

People I don't know about you but I am scared! So scared that terrorism, a deep recession and 10% unemployment sounds as innocent as a game of Candy Land! In the last two days it seems several species decided to just give up on living. To be more specific yesterday, five thousand birds have fallen from the sky, 150,000 fish turned up dead and if that wasn't enough. Today it was announced 97% of a specific species of bees have disappeared along with another two million dead fish popping up in Chesapeake Bay. Adding new meaning to the phrase "only dead fish go with the flow". People what are we going to do? Have you seen the ending of "Avatar"? What creatures of nature are going to conveniently show up towards the end to save us? NONE if they keep offing themselves. So please buy bird feeders and stop fishing! We have to show these animals we love them. Or they will end up like Heath Ledger... Dead and gone when we'll want them most!

People who say the internet has killed newspapers, when really newspapers have killed newspapers

"Should the leader of the free world dress like this - Even on vacation?"  (Yesterday's "New York Post" Cover Story)

People lets face it, if you don't own a computer by now then you obviously missed the rush of AOL 9.0 disks. But lets be realistic is it really at the fault of the internet, newspapers are better off being in the toilet rather than being read on the toilet? I mean the picture above says it all, is that really headline worthy "New York Post"? Aren't the Rex Ryan foot sex videos more of a "scoop" over Barack Obama's exposed feet? Or I don't know maybe the fact that we just had 3 feet of snow, five thousand birds fall from the sky, 150,000 fish show up dead, all occurring in the same week! Not worthy enough I guess. Nation it is no wonder newspapers are losing ground, they are no longer news worthy. If all you have to offer people is silly tabloid nonsense, then call the short guy from "Peoples Court" who runs "TMZ", I'm sure they could use some more people who are completely bored of their own lives so they stalk the lives of others, just to have some sort of value to society. The "Post" raised the question yesterday, "should the leader of the free world dress like this - even on vacation?" I answer this with another question, should we as members of the FREE world start telling others how to dress on vacation (nonetheless)? Isn't that a tad Socialist? And whats the riff with a guy on vacation wearing flip flops? Mr. President I ask of you, to please challenge the so called "news" papers with some good ol' fashioned shock and awe. Show up next vacation wearing nothing but a Speedo, and show all of your naysayers, that even though George Bush might of had bigger balls... Lets just say you've got 10 inches on Bush, and I don't mean height!

The fear and chaos the new Taliban terror plot will cause Americans

Yes folks it has been reported that Al Qaeda is looking to attack Americans the one place that would hurt most... our buffets! While in most other countries the death of people is enough terrorism, Not in America! After 2 weeks we tend to forget any tragedy that has ever occurred. So as expected the terrorists being the evil men they are must always one up themselves, but this is just taking it to far. Think of the madness! Women and children getting sick, people staying away from buffets, being forced to eat under 4,000 calories in one sitting... It hurts to even fathom the thought. People I am not one who has any faith in conspiracy theories, but the recent attempts of Michelle Obama (forcing our kids to eat healthy) and this blockbuster discovery of the Taliban's plans seem to be much more than a coincidence to me. What do you think?

How people lie to themselves every new year

Well nation it looks like a new year has started, which only means one thing. A time for all of us to join together conjure up ideas on how to better our lives, and never bring it up again. So people please do the country a favor, stop taking the machine I was about to use at the gym, stop ordering salads from McDonald's and smokers stop trying to quit. All you are doing is becoming the easily irritated person everyone avoids, so say goodbye to your other resolution of making more friends. So please stay fat, keep smoking and forget new friends, at the end of the day remember, you always have next year to change your life!
