What in the world!

J E Wilson

Okay! Are we the stupidest planet in the galaxy? NASA says no! This may be true since we are to only planet with water and water means life. I have to ask one thing. Just because we can’t flourish in a liquid based acid, why can’t other life forms need it like water? Come-on Earthlings! Space is an ongoing space. If there is a wall at the end then what’s on the other side? Us! Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side? Who’s on the other side other than that chicken?

Here’s a good one! Is there life after death? The only way to find out is to be dead and then if there is not life after death then those who investigate gave the ultimate commitment for science. Who writes what they experienced?

Staying in form of my train of thoughtlessness where is Heaven and who goes to Hell? Do Earthlings really want to spend eternity with sober virgins or partying sluts? If I truly want wings I will drink Red Bull. Most Earthlings will agree that a cocktail, a warm place, and a slut or male prostitute (depends on your sexually preference) fills our dying needs. Do you actually think priests want to go to heaven. They have an itch only Hell can scratch and if they scratched it already they deserve Heaven. When you get to those pearly gates you may see a sign reading “Vacancy.”

Come on people! We are battling pirates, chasing a ghost in Afghanistan, and watching the most powerful nation get crippled because leaders can’t balance a checkbook. Now this stupefies me: I can email or talk on the phone about questionable issues and be taken from my home, deported to a foreign country, and be water-boarded until I admit something. There maybe an agency protecting American freedoms in the name of freedom. As Americans we have to accept the fact that freedom is not free. Our taxes pay for freedom, but they also insure that those running this nation are free to run us into the ground.

What’s making headlines this week? It’s not the almost 5000 troops killed, it’s not America’s crumbling economy, and it’s not about the estimated 2-million unemployed. We are hearing about the three pirates shot to free an American Captain in hostile waters. Americans are shooting Americans, but three pirates hold the American Navy at bay. Sarah Palin, take her out behind the barn and…. Can we toss prisoners out on the street for not paying rent? I say YES! The American Government will toss Americans to the street for not paying taxes, taxes that helps house prisoners. Tax the free out of their homes to help keep prisoners in three meals a day and a roof over their head. GO FIGURE!!!!

Lets name the Presidential dog! I have traveled around Asia and my suggestion is “Supper.” I thought about “Crystal,” but the Presidential kids will be buying it at thee South Gate. “Shit-head is a great name but 98% of the people on Capital Hill respond to that name.

Before sending out this column to prospective employers I will hit on a historical fact. The Lincoln bedroom was not President Lincoln’s bedroom. He actually was in the room for his own autopsy.

My Resume:

Want job running a country.

Specifics: Can screw a nation in days and commit crimes I’ll never be charged for

Qualifications: Fat, drunk, balding, and stupid are my experiences

References: Somebody, somewhere, talk to the hand

Special skills: My face froze all winter, so I am growing a beard this summer

The future smells bad, so why fart and waste it when you can burp and taste it!

AIG Bailout

J E Wilson

What part of “bailout” did AIG miss? If AIG has contracts with executives and bonuses, fire or let these people quit. The economic system, Americans, and taxpayer dollars have been displaced. America is getting it! All the bailout does is save wealthy executives club memberships.

Contracts are broken everyday and if AIG is paying our dollars to allow people that ran a company into the ground to live better in hard times. The simplest form of a cure is to let AIG fail or come inline with the taxpayer’s dollars obligations. The majority of taxpayers paying taxes are pondering the idea of giving a billion dollar company money, especially when they steal taxpayer monies to support contractual bailouts.

Americans are losing their homes, retirement, and investments. AIG executives can sew AIG for their bonuses. They can quite their job or take a bonus and should be fired. AIG should pay the executives bonuses and then fire every executive that took the bonus. How many of these executives would hold AIG contractually responsible to these bonuses?

Paying a bonus maybe “distasteful,” but taking them should be illegal. Taxpayers were not put on earth to bailout billion dollar industries. If you run a company into the ground there will always be another to clean-up your mess.

Americans are losing everything from homes to retirement. If my tax dollars are bailing out top executives that caused this nation’s mess, then stop paying taxes. Tell the government and IRS that who they are saving is not who needs saving. The long legs of government have stepped over the working class to save a upper class who started this financial plague.

If you (our government) intends to use our tax dollars to save billion dollar companies then I am not going to pay taxes. The United States Government needs to get a clue and AIG better get a clue. Hint: The sidewalk is hurts more than a golf membership, but America wants to see the executives taking a header from the top floors.

I have no connection to the military other than supporting the troops, visiting
Omaha
Beach in France, having two grandfathers in WWII, and an Uncle who served in
Vietnam. One grandfather was in the navy, my second flew with ”The Screaming Eagles”, and my Uncle was Army. So flying the POW/MIA Flag should be allowed to hang proudly anywhere, including Federal, State, County, Town facilities, and private properties.
 
I do not know the laws of flying flags that supports prisoners of war and/or troops missing in action, but Senator McCain might have something to say about people who refuse to support the troops. I do not support the War in
Iraq, but this flag stands for troops that fought in wars from WWII to the present and I support the flying of this flag anywhere.
 
Not allowing this flag to fly freely under the American Flag is as bad as arguing that the Holocaust never happened or kicking “The Vietnam Memorial” out of public parks. Sadly, there is a Highway Town Barn in a small community in

Lewis
County that is refusing to fly the POW/MIA Flag. The decision was made by this Town’s Highway Supervisor.
 
This flag had flown at this Town Barn in the previous years, but ripped. Now a local resident offered a new flag to show support for those missing in action or being held as prisoners of war. Since the POW?MIA Flag had flown for many years previously, in the least it should be grandfathered-in. Nobody in their right mind should deny the POW/MIA Flag to fly anywhere publicly or privately.
 
People from almost every race and religious background have served in either World War II,
Korean War, Vietnam War, or Iraq War along with many other deployments in the name of FREEDOM. The American Flag stands for freedom and the POW/MIA Flag stands for those who fought or are fighting to protect our freedoms, but still have not returned to live free. Let the POW/MIA Flag fly, because it’s all about Honoring America and Americans troops illegally imprisoned or missing on foreign soils.

PETA, from milking to symbolism unwanted

PETA has stepped across the borders of descentcy, human rights, and the freedoms of the people. I have stepped on PETA’s toes a few times, laughed at their antics many times, but now and forever more shall fight this so called organization.

American rights include freedom of speech. These rights even give us the right to express ourselves in other ways. PETA has cross the lines of the rights we hold dear. America was, for all intensive purposes, founded by hate.

Columbus discovered the Americas then murdered a million of its’ natives or inhabitants for pleasure. Hitler focused on a religious secture of society because they were successful or did not fit his vision of ‘The Master Race.’ Saddam and other modern day leaders or terrorists have or are keeping alive this sickening ideal in oneway or another.

When PETA members robed themselves in KKK (Klu Klux Klan) garb they crossed the line of a freedom this nation has been battling for since the first shackled African stepped onto the North American continent. You, I, and others make jest and find humor in racial factores of life today and past, but show me one non-KKK member who will dare to put on a white robe and prance around in public.

PETA’s message was heard and heard loud. PETA has announced loudly that they, by wearing the feared white robe, are racists. The meaning that this white robe holds tells me that PETA has no conern for a battle this nation today is still trying to defeat. By their flaunting of such a dark cloud in American history they have announced where they stand.

By this display PETA should now be seen as a fantical group, they are people looking is disrupt America’s freedoms. PETA wants to save animals, but they are doing it with a symbol that once stood for a certain race looked upon as animals.

There are three stages in dealing with organizations like PETA. First we bomb the piss out of them, then you waterboard each member, and finally you send them to that place in Cuba we all want closed. I am going to call it “PETA Bay” from now on.

There is not a reason in this world why we prey on a young family. The death of a sixteen year old makes national news or a family grieving makes the news? Let the young boy rest in peace and leave the family to mourn in peace as well. Children die everyday and we pass it off, but a famous family suffers a death and we greet it with headlines and history.

The Christian News Network among others have made a sad story into major headlines. The Travotla tragedy has over shadowed the battle in Gaza. Are we so shallow that we must hear of celebrity death before world battles?

I am sickened by our need for information of the famous and sway away from news of those who truly suffer from AED’s and other grusome deaths. This is a sick world we live in when we can focus on one families loss and forget the hundred of heroes that have died for our freedom. Have heroes lost their souls to our interest in celebrities? Have Americans become so shallow and separated from the issues addressing many nations that we just do not care?

Society is plaqued with the fact of fame versus the ideals of freedom. The idiots in America will cheer a character and push off a hero. Americans have become a perverted society and have rejected all that this nation was founded upon. Raise all the questions you want about the Travolta family and remember that this is a family, not a hero. Look towards the big picture and let the world grow.

Please people have we gone insane? I am an English teacher who can figure out how to create a vehicle that is “Green Friendly.” Now, I know that cows can fart barns into outerspace, but I just don’t see my grandmother filling up her Ferrari from a cow’s butt. As a hunter the idea of picking up the deer poop came to mind, but who is willing to chase or search out these raisan sized dropping and bat crap is a solid idea, yet offers us other alternative uses. Then it hit the fan or I just realized what is needed to make cars move at an environmentally friendly pace.

First off you must understand that I live in the woods or what most in Albany, NY might call the sticks. Luckly, the dualing bangos are kept only for the less than environmentally friendly tourist or really close family. My vision on a winter day gave me a view of massive amounts of power sources that have been and are running every hour of everyday, windmills. Then I realized that next door a hunting camp charged batteries by a small creek or crick, depending on what part of the sticks in certain New York parts you marry your cousin in. I have traveled the world and 90% of the US and I have crossed dams that use water to turn turbines that create power, in some cases massive amounts of power. Then it just hit me as I sat freezing my ass off waiting for an innocent deer or farmers daughter to come into sight. Why are we not harnessing this same power for our vehicles?

Then reality set in and the facts came into focus. The millionaires or trillionaires making money off the working people and general public at large do not want us to have any headway, the government is so invested in certain industries (maybe oil) that they are willing to give these leaders kickbacks in the form of bailouts with our tax dollars to pass on something that can save the planet and save us a few dollars.

I thought a little harder and came up with the idea that “invention is the destruction of those who already invented.” The car has been invented, most people rely on it, but governments and tycoons make trillions from it. The government and a few leaders of the automotive companies have to answer, why an English teacher can create the car that can eliminate the use of our tax dollars on the last day of hunting season? When in the woods hunting you cannot fart or the prey will smell you. I can smell the government and the people getting richer as my meal prances away. So here is my idea.

My idea! At hunting camp you can run a small water pump for the toilet, a must, and lights by the flow of a small creek. Dams can supply power to large cities and huge windmills help supply power to New York City. So if a small water based stream turns enough revolutions to work a water pump in a camp filled with hunters eating Limburger cheese and drinking cheap whiskey, why can’t we harness these same revolutions on a vehicle?

I know who farted and they are either wealthy, in politics, or investors and all three stick worse than hunting camp on a Sunday morning. If we created a battery charged vehicle that repowered itself from the rotation of each wheels revolution, then we might be able to create a vehicle that is not only green, but self generatoring its own power. All turning parts could possibly contribute to its movement eventually.

With all the power saved we could possibly see a lighted outhouse with a seat warmer and an automative drink dispenser versus a hand-pumped tap.

Critics can call it what they will, but it has never been forgotten. John Wayne stands tall and for many reels of ideals of yesterday and tomorrow. It is hard to lay greatness to rest, sleep through classics, and forget a kiss that lips left a gift for all who watched John and Eli Martini in Hatari.
This Howard Hawks production gave us a kiss that could tear manly tears from the strongest of men. The movie Hatari gave us a look at a world and land rarely seen today or surviving tomorrow. Viewers watched hunks and ghosts from the greats like Red Buttons and baby elephants. Heavy canvas tents and an addiction to chain smoking make or reveal a past life of actors, society, and a time remembered by a passionate man and his or their kiss.
Greatness of the theater started in the ’50’s with many stars that glow even today. Unforgotten classics reveal the greatness of kissing. Hatari and Donovan’s Reef betrayed a man that kisses and kicked ass better than any of the wusses we find on the silver screen today. I salute John Wayne and his robustness for kissing Eli and others.
A kiss is simple, but we rarely fashion simplicity and drive for sexual content. Bring that kiss back to our lips. Make us feel real and desire only a kiss.

Biden, Palin, and Bailout
J E Wilson

First thing first, lets visit the bailout and why President Bush and others pushed for it so hard. Was it really for the benefit of the American public and the markets or are they obligated or invested in certain markets and banks themselves? It was a necessary evil or was it?
Look at Wachovia and the Wells Fargo merger. This is a perfect example of how banks should handle a crisis like the one this nation has fallen into. If no banks can make deals to be bought out by other institutions or merged then they should apply for loans from the government or other resources or let them flounder to their death.
Palin did not impress me one bit. She really made a major blunder in the form of a compliment to the American worker by saying (paraphrased), America has the hardest working people in the world and is the strongest producer in the world. Yet unemployment is at 6.1% and some of this nations biggest, most popular, and powerful business are outsourcing overseas? Here are several that may amaze you: AT&T, Bank of America (What!), Coca-Cola, Goodyear Tire & Rubber, John Deere, Wachovia (outsourcing really helped them), Whirlpool, Xerox and unbelievably the US Government. So how can the Republicans talk of our job market, while somebody outsourced the production of this counties own passports, which were outsourced to Denmark, who outsourced them to Thailand.
Either somebody did not bring Palin up to date on the issue or she just winged it and thought a compliment would suffice for a topic she knew nothing about. Toss in the fact that she cannot remember a top General’s name we are in trouble if McCain passes-on as President.
I thought that Biden was strong and knew the answers the voters wanted to hear. This country is so divided by party’s that the real issues and solutions are lost  to this division. I may not agree with everything Biden said, but he has experience and if he were an African American he would be a shoe in as President. As a white lower middle class voter I am pulling for Obama.
I am going to “Pull a Palin” (retreating to a previous question/subject she is confident with when asked a question she may not be sure how to answer). Who pays for this bailout when it fails 3-years down the road? Does the government pass a bill for $14 billion when taxes are already being used to payoff the first bailout?
The Obama/Biden ticket is the only ticket that will break through the black clouds hanging over the American people. The McCain/Palin ticket is a hurricane like nothing we have seen before and will devastate this country. Palin wants to expand the role or power of the Vice President
My last question for Palin is: When you referred to “Joe six-pack” are you referring to a man with six pack abs or the hardworking man having a beer after a hard days work? If she Palin were a dog I would take her behind the barn a shoot her.

The untouched issues, why aren’t they addressed?
J E Wilson

By now Americans should be pretty aware that the issues of discussion for this campaigns on both sides is going to be the bailout. The candidates will do anything to avoid other issues that affect the voters. We have heard very little about a national healthcare program, outsourcing American jobs, or the environment. The environment has been talked about by both sides, the Republicans want to pollute every inch of protected lands to help oil barons make more money. The Democrats are more in favor, for the most part, of saving fragile lands for future generations. We all know that President Bush would rather put up oil drilling rigs in place of windmills and solar arrays.
One issue that has been crushing the working class for ten plus years is the onslaught of illegal immigrants working in America, stealing the few jobs left for US citizens, then sending our weakening dollar south of the border. Dollars we need in our market.
I know that some of you are thinking this country is a “Melting Pot” or that I am a racist. I am not a racist and I taught high school history and know the melting pot arguments. According to “Pew Hispanic Center analysis of Census data” reports that in 2006 there were an estimated 11.5 million illegal aliens in the US. In 2007 the estimated population grew to 12.4 million and this year they estimated that the population has dropped to 11.9 million. Many Pres. Bush has done some good by running the country into the ground. Even illegal immigrants cannot find work or save a dollar, it must be better in Mexico right now.
The again we have to remember that there are the National Guard is helping to seal our southern borders, the pursuit of immigrants trying to cross into this country is on the rise, vigilance of businesses hiring illegal immigrants, and other watches of employers maybe helping.
I want to know what will the candidates be doing to bring jobs home from foreign countries, what new jobs will be created for the working classes (middle and lower classes), and whatever happened to the “Great Wall” between Mexico and United States?
If it is still being built then the bailout is nothing in comparison to the wall. $700 billion is a drop in the buck in comparison the estimated $9 million per mile it’s going to cost taxpayers.
I am unsure how far the government planned or plans to take the wall, but from Laredo, TX to San Diego, CA it will run an estimated 1300 miles. The cost would have been or will be $11.7 trillion dollars. Even it the wall cost $900 thousand per mile it would still cost $1,17 billion.
Government waste is happening across the Capital and we are picking up the bill as the politicians scratch there heads, sit on their ass, and pat each other on the back for doing nothing for the average American. The government acts like they are at a fraternity party not working for us. Bush and McCain need to stop partying and go to class.
I see a lot of small businesses failing or going bankrupt without any bailout. If we asked about anything other than healthcare, bailouts, Iraq, or Palin the candidates would be stumped and stupefied onstage or in the media.

Blog Warning: Flavored ‘Meth’ on the Market
J E Wilson

I was a teacher in South Florida for 12-years and worked 14-years at summer camps across the US. Even 6-years after leaving teaching I still get emails and phone calls from past students. As an Assistant Dean of Students I battled the drug problem that infects almost all schools and I have a concern for all students. This is no joke or myth; instead it is ‘meth,’ crystal meth to be exact.
Drug dealers have put a dangerous spin on this drug to attract or fool students worldwide. The new spin on crystal meth is the addition of strawberry flavoring, which turns the drug pink in color and resembles the popular ‘Pop-Rock candies.’ This drug can also come in the flavors of chocolate, orange, grape, cherry, cola, and peanut butter. The photograph of what was sent to me shows a clear plastic bag with a circular logo with a picture of grapes on it. The will be hundreds of variations, so if there is no company info or trademarks on the bag be weary. The flavored crystal meth looks like candy. If I did not know about it and a friend asked me to try it, I might have.
Here is a scenario for you: A teenager or stranger offers your middle or high school child a bag of free candy to share with his friends at school. The next day he offers your child a different flavor and again the third day he offers another flavor. On the fourth day this person tells your child he needs to pay for it and his or her lunch money is gone. Within a few weeks or months your child is stealing from you or neighbors, school grades drop, and eventually your child is gone; ran away or dead.
I do a lot of research on most of what I write and this warning was no different. Various things are being said about this drug. Many people say it is just a myth about flavored meth being on the market, but my information came from a fellow teacher who has seen this trendy drug. I passed this email onto other teachers nationwide that I know and my father did the same. I had good feedback from other teachers who have crossed this drug in their school and others who had never heard about it and thanked me for the heads up.
Today’s “Duck or Get Hit” blog/column is more of a way of informing others and should be passed on to as many people as possible. I could care less if you use this blog or create your own blog or email, just share it and watch for this drug in your own schools.
Drug dealers use the Internet to create new drugs and share ideas for getting around law enforcement. We need to use the Internet to counter the drug dealer’s attempts to infect and addict America’s youth and your children.
Three years ago I returned to Florida for the funeral of one of my own students. This young man played lacrosse for me and surfed with me and other students. He had a supportive family, loving girlfriend, and a brother that I was friends with and hired to work at my school. Please heed this warning. Talking to a headstone is no fun!
