Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, hero to the working poor.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, will bring 12 million discounted gallons to needy families in Massachusetts. Citgo, owned by Venezuela, is selling the oil 60 to 80 cents gallons less than the market rate to needy families.

Regarding the acknowledged animosity between President George W. Bush and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, it was insisted that the day was not about political "one ups-man-ship." "This, today, is about people. It is not about politics."

Sadly, it takes a pinko commie from another country to help the working poor with gas prices in America.

Raising the minimuim wage did not hurt the economy in Florida.

Before last year's elections,( on a a political action committee backed by the likes of Publix Super Markets and Outback Steakhouse had some hair-raising predictions about the effect of bumping up the minimum wage.

Thousands of jobs would be lost if voters increased the state's rock-bottom wage to $6.15 from $5.15, said one e-mail sent out by the Coalition to Save Florida Jobs.
Jobs would be outsourced overseas, the e-mail said. Even companies that paid above the minimum wage would be forced to raise pay for everyone, said retailers and restaurants that opposed the amendment.

Today, though, it's hard to find much wreckage in the Florida retailing and restaurant industries, the two groups that bankrolled the Coalition to Save Florida Jobs.

Seventy-one percent of Florida voters passed the increase, and since the new minimum wage was implemented in May, retail stores and restaurants have added tens of thousands of employees.

How to piss Maddox off.

Piss off Maddox by practicing "random" moments of surrealism in your life.

Lesson number one..watch the movie Spanglish on the Spanish SAP audio channel or HBO Spanish. Try it. It's fun.

(Maddox once wrote apeice on how people think they are funny if they blurt out random shit. Since that's my whole act I kinda got pissed for him calling me out on that. now that I have had to explain an inside joke that was shared by me only, "I hope you get the joke.")

Peter Gallagher Sings

Crimes against humanity. That was my first impression when I heard film and television star Peter Gallagher sing. Apparently after a performance on his TV show the O.C. someone got the idea that subjecting the world to the "vocal stylings" of Pete would equip Al Qaeda with a destructive bomb more powerful that an atomic weapon. They were right.

For the love of god, some one put him out of his misery. A rabid dog in this country would receive more care and protection.

People from Kansas are stupidier than me.

Always the glutton for punishment Kansas recently turned back science to the 18th century in a tit for tat "no I really am that stupid" voting sequence the Three Stooges would have been proud of.

"For the third time in six years the Kansas school board has rewritten standards with evolution as the central issue."

The effects of this strange new ruling will be felt through out the community by scientists, doctors and of course barbers.

"We find leeches to be effective for the treatment of cancer and sour stomach." Said one barber from Supercuts.

"Actually we prefer hair stylist now." I was corrected by the comely young lass who had her hands drenched in a bucket of blood.

"Doctors won't be allowed to practice medicines anymore, so I have to start practicing with these." She explained while holding up a squishy pair of leeches and eels.

In addition, the board rewrote the definition of science, so that it is no longer limited to the search for natural explanations of phenomena.

"I liked that part the best." replied god when he was asked how he felt about the changes. But when asked for his/her response Krishna wasn't so sure "It seems to me that religion and science shouldn't be separated, that's what the Vedic literature teaches."

"I thought we killed that pagan idol a long time ago." A reflective god mused regarding his lack of influence on the billion or so Hindus who have failed to master the antinomies of monotheism and the trinity.
"At least I got me some republicans in Kansas."

The Self Help of Insanity and Marriage.

In my former life as a library assistant* I was continually asked to find reference materials on the requirements for marriage and the conditions needed for an annulment. One of the ways I discovered that you can sneak out of a marriage was to have one of the parties labeled "insane."

In addition one of Arizona's statutes explicitly states "a first cousins may marry if both are sixty-five years of age or older or if one or both first cousins are under sixty-five years of age, upon approval of any superior court judge in the state if proof has been presented to the judge that one of the cousins is unable to reproduce." Nice to know sterilization is still offered for those "deviants" who would like to marry, but do not want to place an undue burden on the state welfare system.

Not knowing the history of proscribable marriages I thought it was kinda goofy, but harmless. As I am now in the middle of reading Edwin Black's War Against the Weak a book which details the crimes of Eugenics here in America, my opinion has been considerably altered.

The book describes in detail "how by identifying so-called "defectives" (many so called feeble-minded, insane, and epileptics) were subjected "to a legislated segregation and sterilization program" which deprived thousands of the natural rights to be married and to procreate.

According to the book, the history of prohibited marriages in America has more to do with racial discrimination and upperclass dominance, than the thinly disguised excuses of hygiene. The key decision was Buck vs. Bell (for all my law friends) which opened the floodgates that eventually allowed the government to systematically sterilize and castrate some 30,000 people. A total of at least 60,000 between the years of 1890 and 1940.

It was easy and not unusual to label "promiscuous women" as feebleminded. Not that it took much (shockingly little) to label women as promiscuous or prostitutes back then. I must note that this website has in many ways insulted the lower class, promiscuous women, defectives and deviants, so my outrage may come as a surprise to any remaining long time readers.

But I suggest, there is a bit of difference between my sarcasms and intentional use of satire in contradistinction to members of the legislature who actively cut off people's balls. I prefer the old fashioned method of ridicule. Sticks and stones do the breaking of bones.

*I would like it noted that I am not a lawyer and any use or misuse of the materials (which are given for entertainment purposes only) that you view on this site is at your own risk. I cannot expect or even hope to have all the lawyers who read this dribble rescue me with correct legal advice. Anyways I am not in the business of engaging in the unauthorized practice of law. That would be wrong, plus the state no longer pays me to give out poor legal advice.

If you are not married and have not established paternity who am I to tell you to grab the Packet for Paternity plus custody?

Happy November!!

Why is November such a great month? Well of course there is my upcoming B-day. Have you thought about what you are getting me for my birthday? Remember I have expensive taste. I will be turning the big Three-five. I am older than Jesus.

November 29, is also the premier of the second season of the Gastineau Girls.

How much more excitement can you get?

What the internet is for.

The internets are for people without a face for television, the voice for radio, or the writing ability of journalists from the Weekly News.

I fit right in.

Fat has a taste.

"In experiments with rodents, French scientists identified a receptor on the tongue that appears to detect dietary fat. This counters the traditional view that the taste buds pick up only five basic flavors: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and "umami," -- a flavor associated with the food additive monosodium glutamate (MSG)."

I know most of my friends thought I made up the "umami" spice so here is the proof that I did not. Now I know why I am gonna keep getting fat, it's just my tongue's fault. I may go home and rip it out.

"The fact that the tongue harbors receptors for fatty acids could shed new light on appetite control and obesity, according to the researchers, led by Philippe Besnard of the University of Bourgogne."

I am not getting any money for this...but...

Will someone please tell Howard Stern about Cottenelle's? He goes on and on about having to wet down tissues, when there is a much better alternative. By the way if any of you are not using this product it will change your life.

Just do an experiment (what can I say I live for empiricism) wipe your ass one day regular style. Then use the cottenelle. If you have anything left your not alone, so go buy it. This is the 21 st century it's about time we have toilet paper that befits this period of invention. We no longer torture people who eat crackers , we should no longer use toilet paper invented when the Sun revolved around the Earth.

Katrina evacuees using federal assistance money are living the high life with alcohol and strippers

Katrina evacuees using federal assistance money are living the high life with alcohol and strippers.

The newspaper's investigation recorded "a virtual parade of evacuees from a bus stop in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Falmouth to nearby liquor stores. "Some emerged and openly swilled from brown-bagged containers, while others poured booze into jugs or plastic cups and casually sipped drinks at the Wal-Mart bus stop."

At a Mashpee strip club, a dancer named Angel told the newspaper she had done several lap dances for evacuees, who tipped her $5 each time

They say you get 3 million dollar ideas a year. "A friend of mine" came up with his soon after reading that story. "Go to the Astrodome and sell rims." ( I likes me the spinning kind.) He says. "You could make a fortune."

"2000 dollar debit cards can get you some fancy ass rims and a nice healthy profit margin." Not that I support that "friend" I think he's a racist ass-hole. He then suggested opening a Popeyes franchise near the Dome if there isn't one.

I am gonna getr around to publishing something soon.

In the mean time How 'bout them COWBOYS? Eagles Suck.

Judge: School Pledge Is Unconstitutional - Yahoo! News: "The case was brought by the same atheist whose previous battle against the words 'under God' was rejected last year by the Supreme Court on procedural grounds.
U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton ruled that the pledge's reference to one nation 'under God' violates school children's right to be 'free from a coercive requirement to affirm God.'"

Oh thank God, er...I mean..

Exxon's $10B fill-up: Cashing in on crunch#hahahaha

"Oil companies came under new fire yesterday when it emerged that ExxonMobil's profits are likely to soar above $10 billion this quarter on the back of the fuel crisis.

That's $110 million a day, and more net income than any company has ever made in a quarter. It's also a stunning 69 percent increase over the same period a year ago and a 34 percent jump from the $7.6 billion Exxon made just last quarter."

Well, at least we know there is no price gouging! Let's just make Exxon pay for New Orleans reconstruction.

Brother where art thou?

So if my brother is still reading my blog, e-mail me as I can't seem to get a hold of you. Since you live in Florida if you are under water at the moment then all is understood.

Army engages in Urban warfare in New Orleans

Army Times - News - More News: "I never thought that at a National Guardsman I would be shot at by other Americans,"said Spc. Philip Baccus of the 527th Engineer Battalion. "And I never thought I'd have to carry a rifle when on a hurricane relief mission. This is a disgrace."

I never thought that I would hear American National Guard commanders say:

“This place is going to look like Little Somalia...This will be a combat operation to get this city under control.”

I am not sure who I am mad at more, the few crazy looters or the fuckers who think they need to invade an American city.

Humans aren't so bad after all.

The Chronicle: 8/12/2005: Red in Tooth, Claw, and Trigger Finger: " According to Edward O. Wilson, America's supreme ant-ologist, 'alongside ants, which conduct assassinations, skirmishes, and pitched battles as routine business, men are all but tranquilized pacifists.' In their great tome of ant lore, Wilson and Bert H�lldobler concluded that ants are 'arguably the most aggressive and warlike of all animals. They far exceed human beings in organized nastiness; our species is by comparison gentle and sweet-tempered.' The ant lifestyle is characterized, note the authors, by 'restless aggression, territorial conquest, and genocidal annihilation of neighboring colonies whenever possible. If ants had nuclear weapons, they would probably end the world in a week.'"

'Men cleverer than women' claim

Paul Irwing and Professor Richard Lynn claim the difference grows when the highest IQ levels are considered. "

It's quite clear these guys have never seen an episode of Everbody Loves Raymond.

Learning The Psychology of Seduction--so what if your ugly. Sleep with cute chicks!

PsyBlog: Psychology Blog: Learning The Psychology of Seduction: "Neil Strauss is the author of The Game: Undercover in the Secret Society of Pick-up Artists which is sure to produce disgusted reviews like this one in The Independent. It describes how AFCs - average frustrated chumps - can turn themselves into PUAs - pick up artists. Many of the techniques used are based on neuro-linguistic programming, which, in this context, is perhaps most usefully likened to hypnosis. It's all about influencing another person by learning how to manipulate all their senses to produce a change in their beliefs or behaviours.

If you've ever seen the 'mentalist' Derren Brown in action then you know how powerful some of these techniques can be. "

Drunken Stepfather is not safe for work.

Google sends me thousands of readers a day who are searching for the drunken stepfather blog. I can't get any of them to read my shitty blog even though I pretty much stole every idea I've ever had from Jesus Martinez aka 'the drunken stepfather.'

I am not sure what it would take to convince some of you perverts to stick around and read this blog. The Jail bait Hall Of Fame? And more Jail bait on my other blog? Maybe you dirty little perverts.

What if you knew I told you stories about finger fucking my step-sister?

Also here are some dirty pictures of Miley. I feel dirty posting this. I don't even want to be famous. I don't really want you to read this blog. Most of Jesus' readers don't even bother to read his commentary. They just go straight for the upskirst and bikini pics.

Realm of the Unreal-The outsider art of Henry Darger

Realm of the Unreal In case you were wondering where I get my inspiration...it comes from the odd world of Henry Darger who "was only known as a janitor for the majority of his life, until it was discovered, shortly before his death, that he had been working on an a 15,000 page manuscript since the age of 19."

From Mind Hacks:

The story is fantastic, bizarre and disturbing and recounts the tale of an ongoing and sometimes graphically bloody war between the Vivian Girls, sometimes aided by winged creatures called the Blengens, against child slavery imposed by the Glandelinians.

Darger was diagnosed with a mental illness in his youth, although his diagnosis was reportedly 'masturbation', which was thought by some doctors at the time to cause madness (not an uncommon belief throughout history).

One idiosyncratic feature of his artwork is an apparent transgenderism of sorts: the fact that in the many scenes where characters are portrayed unclothed or partially clothed, many of them, regardless of ostensible gender, have male sex organs. It is speculated by some that Darger was simply unfamiliar with female anatomy, or that he modeled the girls — whom he idolized — after images of the baby Jesus.

He is a strange guy, and if was a janitor and masturbated more, I might be just like him.

Many Dads Unknowingly Raising Others' Kids - Yahoo! News

Many Dads Unknowingly Raising Others' Kids - Yahoo! News: " Calling it a Pandora's Box with broad health implications, British researchers say genetic testing is informing about 4 percent of fathers that a child they are raising is not their own.

The implications are huge, the study authors noted, because such revelations often lead to divorce and increased mental health problems for both the man and woman involved, including the threat of violence by the man"

Threats? Ya, I would think so. But what we don't need is another government agency giving counseling, that's what we've got Maury Povich for.

Since many of you are at work, and are looking for something to do...

I will be linking to all the kool sites and shit I find on the net. Think my old romtex site but with pictures. I know for a time I tried the whole "work blog" thingy. I stuck to it like Adsense was paying me money. But it's not. It's funny how we can get trapped by our own thinking and circumstances. Besides, what else can I do with this 5 google page rank?

Thanks Easter Bunny.
