Iraq and Our Sex Crazed Culture

The Iraq Study Group published their report today in an official capacity. The report essentially calls for a gradual troop reduction starting in 2008, with minimal U.S. forces staying on in an advisory role. Will “W” accept the results? Only the wall knows and the hamster that runs around in his skull (his brain). The group consisted of an equal amount of democrats and republicans, which I guess you could say is bi-partisan. The whooping and the hollering over the report maybe a bit exaggerated over the coming days, but at least it is something. If the group’s ideas manage to resonate with the president, the following actions will resemble the twilight of the Vietnam War. After we go into the country, fuck it up, we pull our asses out with our tails between our legs. Good job “W,” another stunning victory for the United States of America.

On a lighter note it has been revealed that Dick Cheney’s daughter, Mary is pregnant. Not a big deal you say? This one even has Big Dick’s own party ragging his ass. Mary Cheney is indeed a lesbian and is having this child with her partner of 15 years. I personally do not see the problem in it, big deal, it happens all the time now. But remember, Cheney belongs to the REPUBLICAN party, the conservatives. His so called allies are already criticizing Cheney over it. The ironic part in all of this is that the Bush Whitehouse has never supported same sex marriage and has quite frankly spoken out against it being wrong and immoral. What a dad! Hopefully this teaches ol’ Dick a lesson; do not associate with people who despise your kids.

In other news the Senate unanimously confirmed Robert Gates today as defense secretary with a 95-2 vote. I wish Gates luck and lots of it. I’ll send him my lucky rabbit’s foot. I have also taken note of the fact that Britney Spears has been Yahoo’s top search for the past week. Are Americans and the rest of the world that concerned with seeing her puss? Yeah I went and found it, but I used the Google because the Google knows all (mocking “W”). I really cannot say that I am all that impressed with it. It’s just a snapper; shit I can Google that and see about a million of them. Personally I have never really been all that impressed with Spears, as she is just another blonde bimbo in the line of thousands that seems to permeate through our society. I also believe that people are searching like mad to find the supposed sex tape that she and Kevin Federline (fuck tard) made. Yeah, I don’t think I’ll be looking for that one anytime soon.

Trimming The Fat

I must admit that I am impressed with two occurrences this past day. It is rare that I am impressed with anything anymore, so enjoy. The first of which is Robert Gates. Gates is “W’s” nominee for the vacant post of defense secretary. He maybe a Bush man, but his answer to this question during the Senate Armed Services Committee confirmation hearing stunned me, “Do you believe we are winning the war in Iraq?” Gates replied “no!” I had to check my ears to ensure that I heard that answer correctly, but he actually said “no.” I am unsure about how much influence he will have on “W” (probably none as “W” tends not to listen to those who knows what they are talking about), but I am sure he will be a moderate source of information in the Bush camp. Gates even stated that he wants to actually go to Iraq and talk with ground commanders about the situation. He may actually listen to the people who know the most about war, generals. Unlike “Rummy,” who had the tendency to listen to the wall instead of war experts, Gates may indeed resolve the tactical issues in Iraq.

The other news that caught my eye was that New York has banned artificial trans-fat in every restaurant in the city. This was the city that banned smoking in public places as well, which says to me that the officials actually give a rat’s ass about their citizens. Artificial trans-fat is basically the shit that makes us all fat and can be found in everything from pie crust to chocolate (basically the shit we eat every day of our lives). The downside to this is that people are going to bitch and moan about not being able to stuff their obese faces with fat loaded burgers and hot dogs at the local bar and grill. Point in fact; people are too indolent to care for themselves, so now it falls on a city government. I am sure that other major cities in the US will follow suit (hopefully Houston, the fattest city in America), but it all depends on how liberal their local city councils are. Welcome to the new healthy and over populated America people!

Failure

I feel that it is necessary to have another word on the Bear’s performance on Sunday. Rex Grossman proceeded to turn the ball over 3 fucking times and managed a lofty 1.3 QB rating. 1.3? Are you kidding me? Yet Lovie Smith still feels that it is proper to stick with Grossman as QB. I know they are 10-2 with Rex at the helm, but they were about the same last year with Kyle Orton running the show. What happened last year? They lost in the first round of the playoffs as the number 2 seed in the NFC. The Bears do have the potential to go to the Super Bowl this year. I know I maybe a bit biased, but they are a solid team. Their defense and special teams are immense. They just need to put the figurative cherry on top with some offense. This saga remains open, as there are four games left in the regular season; we’ll see if Rex can pull his head out of his ass in that time. At least they clinched the NFC North with the win today. Thank you Devin Hester!

Now I must have a word concerning the BCS (Bullshit Championship Series) bullshit. Ohio State will play Florida in the “Fiesta National Championship Game (highly original name by the way).” Besides the fact that I am absolutely sick and tired of college teams from Florida hogging the lime light, Florida does not belong in the game. Michigan proved all year long that they were deserving of the number two ranking, yet they get proper fucked at the end of the year. The “experts” claim that Florida played in a tougher conference, the SEC and that they had the toughest schedule in the nation. I agree on the fact that they did indeed have a tough schedule and they performed well. But conferences should have no baring on BCS bowl selection. These “experts” also claim that the Big Ten was weak this year, which in comparison to the SEC they were. But the number one team in the country was in that conference, along with a few tough opponents. The fact that there were not as many ranked teams in the Big Ten can be culpable to that they all beat the hell out of each other, which makes for far better games. More than half of the country wanted to see Michigan in the big game, not Florida. What a load of shit! At least the computers cannot be blamed this time, as it was human error.

On the news front it has been revealed that “W” may possibly make some “strategry adjustments” concerning the war in Iraq. It is about time! Granted he may make some cosmetic changes to the current strategy, but there is no guarantee that he will do anything of significance. He has a habit of doing that you know. Personally I believe he does a lot of talking (incandescent rambling with a lack of proper grammar), but never really follows through on much. I cannot wait until January when Bush’s cronies are subpoenaed by Congress to spill their slimy guts about what is really going on in Iraq. I spoke of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez yesterday and it appears that he has won re-election in a sweeping electoral win. His victory does smell of bullshit though, as he used state resources in his “campaign” and many were celebrating before the “polls” closed. More than likely the election was rigged. I would assume that he used Chicago Machine tactics in his endeavor for another 6 year term (roughing people up at the polls, dead people voting, etc…). I cannot wait until he rants again in front of the United Nations next October. Hopefully he’ll learn a new adjective to describe President Bush by then (fuck tard or in Spanish, tard de la cogida).

On a final note Microsoft released ‘Windows Vista’ this past week to businesses world wide. Being a “tech addict” I have been testing Windows Vista since July. My impression is that the system is rather unstable. It basically takes a supped up computer to run the operating system, as well as a mega supped up graphics card. The system does look quite flashy and in many ways similar to the Mac OS (a good rip off), with many visual improvements and such. But if you like waiting 10 minutes for your computer to boot up and enjoy countless system crashes, go for it. I believe Microsoft is also releasing the new Office system simultaneously. Again, I have been testing that as well, and I am more impressed with it than the new Windows. It is simpler, as you do not have to waste as much time formatting everything. Hell for the college crowds out there it even has a ‘reference’ section so you do not have to fuck around with bibliographies and such. You can even talk into a microphone (voice recognition) and it will type; even though that bombed this past week at a live display at Microsoft’s headquarters in Redmond, Washington. So if you wish to buy Vista, go for it, but you’ll have to buy a new computer or upgrade (spend more money) on your current machine.

Winter Wonderland

It is Saturday night and I am bored, surprised? Well let me tell you this; my liver hates me right now and drinking would not be in my best interest. After consuming 10 gallons of “holiday flavors” last evening, I really do not think my liver has the ability to oxidize more booze. I have spent this past week either drunk off of my ass or sitting in front of the TV in my underwear watching the “E! Channel.” If I see or hear Ryan Secrest come on with anymore “breaking news” concerning the marriage of two people that I could give a rat’s ass about, I am going to personally cancel the cable. Who in the hell cares about Tom Cruise and Kati Holmes? I sure as hell don’t. The marriage will end up in divorce anyways.

How about all of this snow! Brings me back to summer when I couldn’t drive after my run in with the law, except this time I have a valid driver’s license. In retrospect I am thinking that it was not such a good idea to buy a Mustang and proceed to “supe” it up. The damn thing doesn’t know what traction is in dry conditions, much less when there is a sixteenth of an inch of snow on the ground. I slid through 4 stop signs the other night while traveling 4 fucking blocks. I think I may find it necessary to invest in a monster truck or a snow plow. Anyone have any of those items for sale? Never the less it will be stuck in a driveway for a week or 2, unless I get towed, which will save me a lot of trouble.

On the football scene I must say that I am impressed with UCLA defeating USC today. I do not know if I or much less America as a whole can stand to see USC in another national championship game that no one watches. The regular season games are far better than those “Bowl Championship Series” games. Personally I am rooting for Michigan to play Ohio State, as Michigan has been the second best team all year. Fuck the “experts” and what they think. The Bears on the other hand are progressing well with a 9-2 record. This season is rather reminiscent of last year, as the offense has taken a shit and the defense; along with Brian Urlacher’s gravitational pull are winning games. Just two fucking touchdowns would have tied the game last week against New England. But Rex Grossman decided to do what he does best; run like a chicken with his head cut off and throw the ball to the other team.

On the political front I have not seen “W” make an ass of himself of late, except when he was stood up by the Iraqi prime minister. That is a classic! This is the guy Bush probably had installed as the PM, yet the guy does not give him the time of day. I love it! Hugo Chavez, the “populist” (he runs around in mobs with his people) president of Venezuela has been on fire of late with his critical comments concerning our president. I am not sticking up for Bush, but come the hell on Hugo! “Diablo?” That is all you can think of? Get some new material or call Donald Rumsfeld.

I have also been obsessed with the big story out of Britain that CNN cannot get enough of; the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko. Litvinenko evidently was a former KGB man who has been rather critical of current Russian President Vladimir Putin’s policies (he has a fetish for Soviet Russia). Litvinenko blamed Putin for ordering him poisoned with Polonium 210, a nasty radioactive substance that probably only the Russians would have for consumer use. Personally I believe that the Russians probably had something to do with it, as they do not fuck around, which in this context is right up their alley. I mean if there is a bank robbery-hostage situation in Russia, they go on a head and bring the tanks in; no shit.

Bout all I got for now...damn!
