Yes a man who was light years ahead of his time penned this opening to one of the MOST influential documents ever written in history.

Sadly, today this means nothing to the elected officials governing our once great country. No it didn’t start sliding downhill when the Novelty Obama-nation uttered the statement, “We live in the greatest country in the world; help me change it, but that non hacker sure as fuck hasn’t HELPED things out a whole lot has he?

Motherfuckers (and father fuckers for you ladies who feel left out when I say it) Are lining up to defend this shitbird with statements like “No one can expect him to deliver on all of his campaign promises”. Then WHY the FUCK was he elected by a majority vote? If it doen’t matter what they say, why aren’t we picking a President’s name out of a fucking Fez? (Yeah a turban would just be a freaking hand towel with a bunch of clumps of paper inside it wouldn’t it?)

I’m getting off track here. HEALTH CARE for ALL should be FOR all not just one for us and one for them. I’f I’m having their shit crammed down my throat then at least tell me that they are getting the same lack of condiments that I am. REGULATIONS and REFORM are what the current System needs and not a Socialist, Eastern Block replacement for it.

While we’re at it, lets think about this. Nancy Pelosi and the fucking DNC is all over this shit about Leveling out the WEALTH of the nation. Lets call this what it REALLY is. They want You and I to be in the poorest 85% of the nation so THEY can be in the RICHEST 15% (if they will allow that many people to be as “privileged” as they are for being good enough to get you fucking moronic, mouth breathing masses to vote them into office.

“From Each According to His Abilities and To Each According to His Needs” is the mantra that these fuckaholics are chanting and the Public is chewing that up like it is a NEW concept. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov brought forth REFORM via these means in a little place that used to be called Russia with these EXACT words.

The FIRST thing that these radicals who wish to infringe upon OUR Inalienable Rights do is to take away the guns of the people that they wish to enslave.

Amendment 2 - Right to Bear Arms. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

This was written by men who had to shed blood to have the right to protect themselves from all enemies Foreign AND Domestic.

Hitler immediately took away every gun from the Jews and I hope you fucking idiots do remember what happened to them during his rise to power. NOW the Democrats have sought to take guns out of the hands of the people for many years and they always come back to the same thing. They SAY it is for OUR own good so that “Criminals” cannot get their hands on guns to harm us. WAKE THE FUCK UP. They are the criminals that wish to enslave YOU and make you work so that you get just enough to get by and they get MORE than they can possibly expect their grandchildren to be able to spend. if GUNS are so BAD, why are these people all Guarded by agents who have them?

AGAIN… WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE! Our society is being dumbed down by the lack of a true Education System. Our Wages and Income are being attacked, we are being led like lambs to the slaughter and the apathy and brainwashing that our leaders MUST be right just because they hold that position is sickening.

We are soon going to need a Revolution to get the Government out of our wallets, schools, and privacy of our own bedrooms because the MASSES can no longer think for themselves or ask the simple questions and react to the answers that are given to them rather than just going with the flow.

I can no longer sit idly by and watch the destruction of the greatest nation in the world. Who has the guts to speak out with me?

Jokes made by David Letterman about Sarah Palin’s recent trip to New York have caused heated responses from Palin, her husband and her supporters.

In case you didn’t watch Letterman’s “Late Show,” here are the “Top 10 Highlights of Sara Palin’s Trip To New York City.”  10. Visited New York landmarks she normally sees from Alaska.  9. Laughed at all the crazy looking foreigners entering the U.N.  8. Made moose jerky on Rachael Ray.  7. Keyed Tina Fey’s car.  6. After a wink and a nod, ended up with a kilo of crack.  5. Made a coat out of New York city rat pelts.  4. Sat in for Kelly Ripa. Regis couldn’t tell the difference.  3. Finally met one of those Jewish people Mel Gibson’s always talking about. 2. Bought makeup from Bloomingdale’s to update her slutty flight attendant look.  1. Especially enjoyed not appearing on Letterman.

Letterman also told jokes about Palin’s daughter. During his monologue, Letterman referred to Palin’s appearance at a Yankees game and joked, “There was an awkward moment in the 7th inning when Palin’s daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.”

Letterman ended up apologizing to Palin. He also invited Palin and her husband to appear on his show. Do you think an apology was necessary?

I only thought 3 of Letterman’s jokes were funny and some of them were downright lame. But what really bothers me is the hypocrisy of the criticism by conservative media. On Fox T.V. today, conservative Republican, Laura Ingraham appeared on the Bill O’Reilly show and criticized Letterman for mocking and making fun of Palin. It seems to me, it wasn’t that long ago, when Ingraham was criticized for mocking and making fun of John McCain’s daughter. Conservative comedian Dennis Miller regularly appears on the O’Reilly show where he often mocks and makes fun of Democrat, Nancy Pelosi. And O’Reilly always cheers Miller on.

I must admit, I’m not a big fan of Sarah Palin. She’s way too conservative for me. I’m not a big fan of Nancy Pelosi either. She’s way too liberal. I’m glad the percentage of us independents is getting bigger. Perhaps if we had three political parties instead of the two lousy ones which have been ruining the country, we would be better off.

As far as political humor goes, newspaper cartoonists have been making fun of politicians for hundreds of years. What’s the big deal. We’re supposed to have freedom of speech. Humor about politicians often contains valid criticism and reveals certain truths an informed public should know about.

As long as politicians in both parties get roasted, I don’t see any threat to democracy. Letterman doesn’t just make jokes about Sarah Palin. I don’t watch him very often - But I’m sure I’ve heard him make jokes about Vice President Biden and other democrats. I prefer to watch Leno and he always makes jokes about the president, no matter what party is in the White House.

In fact, Leno still makes lots of jokes about Bill Clinton’s infidelity and George Bush’s lack of intelligence. And they are usually pretty funny… Nice try Dave.

                Seriously, I wonder what the fuck is wrong with people these days. My latest rant is based on this story;

http://www.wusa9.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=86642&catid=158

                I understand we’re all busy (or lazy) so I will sum up the story. Some asshole set a two year old pit bull on fire. She burned while bystanders did nothing. Fortunately, a cop happened by and put out the flames. The dog had burns over 95% of her body. Everywhere; eyes, pads, vulva, God it’s just horrible. She managed to stay alive for a few days in treatment, until she had to be humanely put down. Her kidneys were not handling the healing process and were shutting down.

                I swear, some of the quotes and imagery in the report will haunt me for days.

                I just cannot imagine anyone doing this to another life. I know I am becoming the resident ‘dog guy’ here, but this story is so far beyond that. I know there are far, far many more urgent and pressing issues in the world to worry about this. But these stories fucking bother me to no end. There is so much wrong with this story, I don’t know where to begin.

                I guess the most obvious thing is why? Why did someone set this poor dog on fucking fire? I have my suspicions what is going on here I will get to later on, but why set a dog on fire to kill it? Why does she have to die anyway? There are so many more options. Why couldn’t they have dropped her off at a shelter, SPCA or rescue? Just what is the fucking thought process of setting a dog on fire? Why?

                When I run for President (I assume I will have your vote, right?) my platforms will be simple. One will be everyone on death row gets the chair or the needle. You get one year to prove your innocence, then you get smoked. I am sure there are countless assholes who get the death sentence, and just die of old age. Why should my tax money support them? Another platform will be if you kill someone, their family gets to kill you in the same manner. Kill a shopkeeper during a robbery with a bullet to the head? The family gets to do the same to you. Set someone on fire, guess what? You’re getting doused just the same, douchebag.

                I just cannot imagine the pain the dog-since named both Phoenix and Miss Mercy- felt. Just what did she do to merit being set on fire? I am sure in she loved her owners, even if it was in a sick and perverted way. Her owner provided for her, gave her food and shelter. She probably just sat there as she was doused, not having a clue, then…..

                Unimaginable.

                And then to have a crowd of people standing there, doing nothing, as she burned. I just can’t imagine doing nothing. Hey, I’m not a cat guy at all, but if I saw a cat on fire, I would do my best to put it out. Where was the common sense, the compassion? Cretins, all of them. If there is a hell, I hope they burn, and I hope Phoenix can see them burn.

                You know what the saddest thing is? Even after being burned alive by humans, Phoenix never was hostile to the doctors trying to save her. I admit to being a prick who holds grudges. If someone screwed me, I will do my best to make them pay. But, not Phoenix.  Shit, the pictures of her will break your heart.

                Here’s my guess as to what is going on. Phoenix, a pit bull, was a fighting dog. For whatever reason, she wasn’t deemed a good enough fighter, so she was set on fire. That’s how they decided to get rid of her.

                I know there is a lot of injustice in this world. I know there are far more pressing issues in this world to deal with. But I hope they find this guy. I hope he literally burns for this. I can deal with violence and stupidity, but why torture animals is just beyond me. I am sure this will lend itself to the theory that many killers start so with animals. Whatever. I just don’t know how a human thinks this is a justifiable action. Obviously, he has no concern for life. We’d all be better off with him not here.

                I hope they find him and throw the fucking book at him.

                Now if you’ll excuse me, I know someone who wants to go for a walk.

So there I am at the convenience store the other day. It’s early evening, so the place is crowded. People hitting the ATM, getting some sandwiches, etc. So the front parking lot is packed. In fact, it’s full, there are no free spots. In such instances, most rational people would merely drive the extra 60 feet to the parking lot on the side. That’s what we did because I am of said rational mind. My wife went in to use the ATM, and I was waiting in the car. It was here I saw something that really fucking pisses me off.

Car comes in from the street. It pauses as there are no open spots in the front parking lot. Well, not exactly, there is one open spot-the handicap spot. Surely this car won’t park …son of a bitch! The black Pontiac cruises right into the spot. I can see there are no handicap plates, nor is there a tag hanging from the rear view mirror. What happens next makes me sick. The driver’s side door opens as a woman gets out. Right after that, from the back seat, emerge 2 kids.

What kind of fucking example is she setting for those 2 kids? “Hey, kids, if you see a cheap way to get by, take it! That’s what I do!” From her demeanor getting out of the car, she was clearly not ashamed to be parking in the handicap spot. She disappears into the store. It’s merely conjecture on my part, but I think she’s going in there to buy smokes for her kids, but I could be wrong.

I think assholes who do this shit be immediately handicapped themselves. In fact, I just petitioned by township to install me to the newly created title of town handicapper. They informed me they already have an official handicapper, his name is Sal and he hangs out at the Town Tavern most nights. I told them, no, I wanted to be a different kind of handicapper. I would station myself at random public parking lots; malls, shopping centers, grocery stores, churches, etc. And whenever I see someone without the proper tags park in a handicap spot, I just wait for them. With a baseball bat. As they walk out, I would politely step on their foot and swing for the fences at their knee. You’re handicapped now, sucker. Lesson learned.

For some reason, the township didn’t go for it, but my point still stands. I absolutely hate seeing people trying to get an unfair advantage. Is it really all that important to park 10 feet closer to the door just to pick up a paper and some joe? How low class to take it just out of sheer laziness. I can’t imagine if someone who really needs the spot can’t get into it. What kind of example is she setting for her kids? She is probably the same kind of person who walks her dog, but never picks up the poop. The same kind of person that doesn’t put things back right in the gym. The same kind of person that has 25 items in the express lane. The same kind of person that makes my blood absolutely boil.

The world is too full of these people.

Miss California (Carrie Prejean) has been accused of posing for semi-nude photographs when she was 17 years old. She may be stripped of her title if the accusations are proven to be true. Many people believe the charges are just a pretense to get revenge against Miss California for making anti-gay marriage remarks during the Miss America pageant where she won the first runner-up position. After the Miss America pageant, Prejean said the reason she believed she did not win the pageant was because she publicly stated her politically incorrect, Christian belief which is - Marriage is between a man and a woman (after officially being asked a question on the subject during the pageant by a gay judge).

Whether Prejean loses her Miss California title may depend on the definition of “semi-nude”. The photographs in question are taken from Prejean’s side, only reveal the side of Prejeans exposed breast and do not depict any nipple area which is covered by her strategically placed hand. Prejean displays a pair of pink panties in the photographs and she may argue that the photographs are tasteful boudoir photos which innocently depict beauty rather than pornography.

All of the Miss America contestants paraded around in skimpy bikinis this year during the swimsuit competition segment. Their white bikinis could easily have been percieved to be white longerie had they been worn in bedroom scenes instead of on stage at the beauty pageant.

Some bikini designs (skimpier than the design used by the Miss America pageant) cover the nipple area but do not cover the sides of breasts. (See example in photo below; model is not Prejean).  If Miss California is found guilty of posing for “semi-nude” photographs (in violation of the Miss California rules), then it seems to me that any model who poses in a teeny weeny bikini runs the risk of violating beauty contest rules and would not be elligible to compete in a Miss California beauty pageant.

Of course, pageant officials may define semi-nude photos to include all topless photos even when hands cover exposed breasts. (See example in photo below; model is not Prejean.)  If a hand is covering the nipple area, how would anyone know if there was a pastie covering the nipple area or not? Are breasts covered with pasties semi-nude? What percentage of a breast has to be covered with some kind of material so as not to be in violation of beauty pageant rules? Teenagers who dream of being crowned beauty queens some day need to know the answers to these questions.

How would you define semi-nude?   Do you think Miss California should be stripped of her crown?

It amazes me how oblivious people can be to the world around them.  Now, there are times when we all momentarily “check out”, only to end up in our own little world for a milli-second.  I’m not talking about that.  However, I AM referring to those self-absorbed, bubble-dwellers who are only concerned with what’s going on inside the bubbles in which they dwell.  Examples…you ask?   Oh…where do I begin?  Let’s see if you recognize any of these famous “wearers of blinders to the world”.

Mr. “What address is that?”:  He casually strolls through suburban neighborhoods (and busy streets) at a dainty 4-6 mph looking for an address that he has neither written down or memorized hoping that when he sees it, it’ll miraculously come back to him.  In the meantime though, he’ll trap you in a tailgating vortex unable to pass due to oncoming traffic without even the slightest concern that you may have someplace to be - a place for which you do know the address.

Ms. “Elevator Bulldozer”: She waits for the elevator to arrive like it’s the last flight out of town and she’s gotta be on it come hell or highwater.  Suddenly it arrives!  She rushes through the barely open doors as if she’s being chased.  Nevermind the lady trying to exit with a babystroller that had to subject her crying child to a mesmerizing view of the stainless steel wall…or the little old lady for whom exiting an elevator feels like shes climbing off of one of the most jarring and unsettling experiences of movement she’s felt since the car ride over.  None of this matters to Ms. “EB” because you’re in her elevator car…the one that she sent for (seems like minutes and should have been seconds ago) to pick her up.

Conversational Road Blockers: These two have chosen to forego visiting one of the 5 million Starbucks to hold a conversation, because the middle of the road suits them just fine, thank you.  While the pressing issues of the world are being discussed in this stalled motorcade of dialogue, you are held hostage and thoroughly resented if you have the audacity to honk your horn.  After all, you do run the risk of being rude by interrupting their train of thought…no not the one that shocks them back to the realization that we’re just seconds away from backing up to get a running start in order to help them move their little chit chat along.

Mr. “Quick Question”: He’s on a quest for information and nothing is gonna stand in his way - not even an existing situation or an ongoing conversation.  By some scientific act of osmosis, standing in line for 5 hours has made you invisible to “Sir-Double Q” and he zips right past you and every other invisible patron just to ask…”one quick question”.  Invariably this ten cent question usually requires a fort knox answer that sustains your powers of invisiblity for another 15 minutes.  Meanwhile, the quick question gives birth to additional quick questions, because the great inquisitor doesn’t see anyone else waiting…and how could he?  We’re invisible.

Mr. “Loud & Proud”: You may have seen him, but you’ve definitely heard him.  He’s the one who wants everyone in the building to know every thought that’s found its way from his walnut-sized brain out of that gaping bullhorn of a mouth and into the atmosphere for all to marvel at in awe and wonder.  For this guy, “volume control” is best saved for 80s hairstyles.  Whether on the cell phone or not letting his helpless victim get a word in edgewise, he provides a verbal sandblast about his cheating b%#h of a girlfriend, his damn job, his new car, his kickass motorcycle…choose your topic!  Better yet, why not take them all in at once, because that’s how they’re spraying you in the face and in the back of the head, while you’re desperately trying to gather your own thoughts long enough to locate the exit…or a baseball bat.

Ms. “Stop n Chat”: When not sitting in a car in the middle of the road, this one is busy log-jamming the rest of the world on foot.  She has many a stop on her motor mouth world tour for a bevy of stunned onlookers.  First stop-The end of the escalator ride.  Yes, she’s done with the ride and has decided to grow accustomed to not having to move her legs, and with good reason - she’s talking to someone.  Nevermind the flip flops and bloody toes being chewed up by the massive, rotating,  metal stairs behind her.  Next stop-The end of the airplane corridor.  It’s a big welcome home as her loved ones embrace her and attempt to gracfully pull her aside so that others behind her may share the same experience with their loved ones.  Not so fast, because when the mouth moves, the legs stop and there’s so much to tell about the flight over and how the flight attendant wouldn’t provide extra nuts and how the guy next to her kept rudely falling asleep everytime she tried to talk to him.  Next stop-The grocery line. Take your time with that price check, because she’s kindly taken that time to inform you of the evening’s menu and how she can never find fresh strawberries this time of season and how when she was a child her grandmother used to make fresh strawberry pie, not like those canned strawberries on isle 3 but more like the strawberries they used to sell at the festival, where you could also get free samples while they lasted…apparently not as long as my “quick trip” to the market to pick up milk.  Final stop-In her parking space.  You thought she was leaving, but you were in for a rude awakening when she popped in a “bluetooth” while looking for her car keys.  Finally, the car starts…those precious, white lights illuminate telling you that the space will soon be yours…and…and…and she’s sitting there in reverse with her foot on the brake…still talking!!!  About what, you ask?  Simply a heads up to let the person on the other end know that she’s on her way home and will finish the conversation in front of the house, in her car, in the middle of the frickin’ street!

Welcome to my world.

Benman out!

Warcorpse here this time going after another group of people that don’t really make a whole lot of sense, the Enviromental Activists.

You know who I’m talking about I’m sure. People like Green Peace, Peta, GoGreen.com or basically anyone that will ram info down your throat and then call you evil if you dare have an opinion that differs from theirs. One thing right off the bat I have a question for you the reader how many pamphlets or flyers have you gotten from these people. how many trees died for all that Paper HMMMMMMM?

Well I won’t go after the groups I’ll save that for another time. In this post I’m just going to lay out some facts for you good people, Facts that these guys trust me DO NOT want you to know. These are historical and or scientific FACTS!!!

The earth is 6 billion years old or there about and in that time it’s been through more hell then we could ever unleash upon it. For example it’s survived world wide floods (not Noah’s Ark) world wide fires, it’s had its atmosphere burned away, it’s had the CO2 content up to almost 60 or 70 percent, Meteorite Stikes, Comet Hit, Asteroid punches and the Occasion of being a radioactive waste land.

And you know what the earth had been just FINE!!!!!!!! How do I know well all the above mentioned stuff happened before humans were ever on this earth. Far more detrimental events then we could ever produce have happened to the blue jewel and it bounced back just fine. Plus as a species we’re the goddamn rookie on the block we’ve only been around for roughly a hundred thousand years compared to let’s say the Crocodile with is 200 million years old. And in that time we’ve only been engaged in heavy industry for the last hundred years. So in a century we have the arrogance to think that we did what NONE of the above mentioned natural events could do and that’s kick the earth’s ass. Right?

Do you people really think that a few plastic bottles and bags were all it took! Here’s another thing to consider matter cannot be changed that means at some point that the matter that make’s up plastic will be changed into something. I mean if it can’t bio-degraded then the earth can always send a wildfire or two to take care of the plastic. The Earth has repaired the atmosphere severel times in the past.

Another thing for all of you to take into consideration that MOST of you eco warriors or people that say GREEN IS THE ONLY WAY are part of a fucking FAD. remember back in the eighties when you we’re all a little younger everything a MCDonald’s came in wonderful Styrofoam Turn the clock back another ten years to the seventies and everyone and their mom was worried about global COOLING! By know in 2009 we were all soupossed to be buried under a goddamn glacier! And a little over thirty years later it’s the exact opposite! You people do relize we’ve only been keeping accurate weather records for the last hundred years or so. Read your history books people the always be accounts of weird periods of time where it’s hotter or colder for periods of years. In the end this green kick i predict has another ten years or so left in it before it’s as dead a disco.

And before you say that I’m ignorant or whatever I’ve read and researched global warming myself and I’ve drawn something of a surprising conclusion that most of this bullshit is based on very little fact a lot of supposition and backed by a whole lot of people scared of their own shadow.

In conclusion  I’d like to say a few things one is that we may be going through global warming but it may be a naturle as rain. Restating we’ve only been keeping records of weather for a microscopic fraction of the earths history of weather that BILLIONS of years old. Lastly I live in Minnesota and we had one of the coldest winters ever. In Febuary it was so goddamn cold for the whole month I was not even able to compose a thought in my brain. Every time I tried a few seconds in the thought would get replaced with FUCK IT’S COLD! screaming through my brain. It’s now nearly April and we’re still below thirty here. What’s it like for all you green people in California.

Some Rules for Life.

1. If you are going to complain about something, make sure it is something that you have nothing to do with. Most people, whilst complaining, are sitting on their ass doing absolutely nothing. Case in point-recently I overheard my employer stating that she felt sorry for her children having to grow up in this environmentally messed-up world. Yet this same person uses styrofoam, paper plates, drives a hulking SUV, buys over-processed foods, doesn’t eat fresh vegetables, doesn’t make an effort to conserve, reuse, or recycle. You get the point.

2. People that are constantly complaining about their weight. I mean, I understand what it’s like to be overweight. I’ve been there. But we all should know, as adults, what needs to be done to be healthy and in good shape. Get off your ass and stop eating junk food! I mean, if you decide to splurge on fattening food every day, or eat too many processed carbs, or eat too much altogether, you just aren’t going to be healthy. And if you refuse to exercise or exert yourself in any way, it’s just going to get worse. Only about 2-5 percent of Americans have serious problems that cause them to be obese, so the fact that our obesity rate is so high? well, that’s our fault. Stop bitching about it if you know what to do to be healthy but are too lazy to do it.

3. Traffic. Yeah, traffic is everywhere. I live in Texas right now, and it has the worst traffic I’ve ever seen. So do you know what I do? I ride the bus and my bike. Why in the hell would I want to deal with the craziness of stupid, rushed drivers who are all pissed off at eachother and themselves? I mean, if you hate traffic and it takes you forever to get to work anyways, why not cure the problem by riding a bus, riding your bike, or carpooling? Seriously, people…not that tough to figure out.

4. And last, but certainly not the least important, respect. I move throughout my day and am constantly seeing stressed out people blame their stressess on others. Doesn’t matter who it is; if it’s your kids, the barista at your coffeeshop, the guy in the car ahead of you or your spouse or significant other…if you don’t have the time to sit out of life for a second and process things so that you are not a fireball of anger everywhere you go, then make time to do that. People go through life completely unaware that the people that serve them and are closest to them are the ones that bear the brunt of their bad moods. So if you’re a jerk, do something to make up for it. Give a bigger tip, get flowers, spend time with your kids, and make it up to them. Because that goodness is passed from person to person, and so is that negativity. We can’t all just sit around and complain about a negative world and then go out into society and treat people like shit, then expect things to work out well.

It’s an easy lesson, and one you’ve been taught since you were small. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

The fireworks of explosive comments from Ann Coulter, Meghan McCain and Laura Ingraham aimed at fellow republicans demonstrate the inevitability of all out war between progressive and conservative factions for controll of the republican party.

Conservative Ann Coultre devastated the McCain faction when she said, “I would rather vote for Hillary Clinton than John McCain.”  Meghan McCain, (who supports stem cell research,  gay marriage and describes herself as a progressive republican), campaigned for her father and blasted  Coulter saying, “I find her offensive, radical, insulting and confusing all at the same time. She also said, Coultre represents bad stereotypes of republican women.

Conservative talk radio pundit Laura Ingraham insulted Meghan McCain with derogatory shots aimed at McCains body weight in describing McCain as a “plus size.” McCain fired back saying Laura Ingraham can “Kiss my fat ass.” McCain who claims to presently be a size 8 also said, “I am not overweight in the least - But even if I were overweight, I expected substantive criticism from conservative pundits for my views. That is the nature of political discourse, and my intent was to generate discussions about the current problems facing the republican party.

McCain says she is trying to be a good role model for a new generation of republican women and describes Coultre as being a bad role model for republican woman.

What say you?

It’s snowing again. Yes, another day in Minnesota and I have no doubt, another day spent trying not to slip and fall, or slide my massive white van into something that will kill it for good. The lines around my eyes seem deeper, and the gray in my hair is more today then yesterday. I am so glad my cape of “good will” is packed away. Getting through the day with all these little annoying adventures are enough for me.

When you are faced with a challenge that leaves you with so few choices, you feel trapped. I would not think it would matter much if you had tons of money, or if you were in the low-income bracket, with the exception of course, of having the relief of having an opportunity of paying your basic living expenses. Some have to work and find ways to deal with what they cannot do, and let go of those people who take from you – even if they do not know they are doing so. No time for grieving the loss of those connections, you have to find new ones that will treat you with what you deserve, and find ways to deal with those who simply drive you nuts.

To the guy who complains about having to give up one of his four almost new cars: Good-bye. You have no idea what is to scrimp and how to keep things going, and to hear you whine and complain about your “loss” is terrifying to hear. You still have a very good paying job, and a good amount of savings over and beyond 500,000 dollars, as you have stated over and over to me. You are not loosing your house, but you may loose that girlfriend that is demanding she should still be able to go to the spa, or hairdressers 4 times a month. She may not want to give up getting all those extra gifts, or having to put off redecorating her house this year. That will probably be good for you. She may have to actually cut back even more with out you.

To that jerk off who decided that it was funny to see me have to cover my nose at the gas pump, and thought it would be really funny to squirt gas at me. Screw you. You don’t deserve a nice car, or for someone to hold the door open for you when you enter the door. I want you to know I purposely waited until you got half way through, and then let it go in your face. I did this because you were stupid enough to think what you did to me was funny, and then you thought I was passive and nice enough to hold the door for you anyway. No way. I am nice, but I not a door mat, you were stupid to think so.

To the big and black, angry-looking guy in line who helped me out with this idiot - Thank you.

To the over-scented obnoxious woman who went on and on about why people should not be allowed in public places if they could not handle perfume. You were ushered out for your mouth more then for your over inflated scent. It worked for me though, so keep using that mouth and my air will be cleaner in more places. You were treated as if you were hysterical, not me this time. Thank you to the store staff - for seeing real sense and reason.

Thank you for the staff at the mall at Victoria’s Secret Store who came out of the store to help me purchase something for my daughter. Even though the item I purchased was small, the way you treated me was big. Thank you for taking my money and ringing it up and bringing out my daughters gift to me. You did not make a fuss about it, and were courteous regardless of the fact that what I have seems weird. You were young, but not unwise and were gracious with your actions. Thank you so much.

To the people I stopped and helped by letting you use my jumper cables. I know that being given orders on how to use them was annoying, but after you told me you had never owned a pair, I had to doubt your knowledge on how to use them properly. The last thing anyone needed was a bigger problem. I am sure you know how to now, and given the looks I got from the people walking by us, more do too. (grin)

To the person in that pretty four wheel drive that cut me off and then promptly slid off the road. I did stop to make sure you were not hurt, but after realizing you were okay, I did laugh when I got back into the car. I am nice, but not clueless to the benefits of being able to see what comes around, goes around. Thanks!

To the neighbor who moved his leaf bags on my lawn before he moved out next door:

Guess what you will be getting for Christmas? HO HO HO!

To my daughter who is still trying to grow up: Thank you for all the thoughtful and helpful things you did this Christmas. My greatest gift was seeing you be happy and knowing you did things for me to help me was better then any gift you could have bought for me! (But you still have to clean your room).
