Iranian REVOLUTION

2009-06-23T15:59:00.004-04:00

I feel the need to stand up for those who are fighting for democracy, no matter how much their democracy means nothing, because it is the right thing to do. But since I wield almost no power to speak of, and some guy with a ton of power wont say anything with authority on the matter, the best I could do is give an interpretation of the greatest revolutionary song of all time....

Ohh myyyy (oh my)
20 throw down in my fist of rage (he has thrown in a $20 raise and did it in an angry fasion)
and the man to my left has folded down (the next guy to act doesn’t want to play for 20 bucks)
well johnny doubled up with a royal flush (Johnny went all in and WON with a royal flush)
I had three jacks and a pair of nines (the singer had a full house, and lost to Johnny)
my mind is turning (he cant stop thinking about the loss to Johnny)
just two shots more (I guess he is drinking)
there's not much left to play (he has run out of cash)
well then dude walks in black hat on top (a guy with a black hat walks in)What a mop (he has quite a head of hair),
I'm lucky It wasn't a county cop (it apparently is an illegal game of poker and the singer doesn’t want to go to jail)
cause I'm just runnin out of time (he is running out of time)

Who's up for game two (there is another game)
what to domy wallet's gettin thin (he is running out of cash)
and I just lost my watch last night (maybe losing his watch is the reason he is running out of time)
well I gotta problem (he doesn’t know what to do)
just one answer (he figures out what to do)
gotta throw it all down (he figured that he should call)
and kiss it goodbye (bad choice, he lost)
Yeah! (YEAH!)

That was a crazy game of poker (he was involved in a crazy game of poker)
I lost it all (He lost it all)
but someday I'll be back again (he plans on a return visit to the poker game)
And I, never to fold. (see, this is a problem. Anybody can play a winning had. What actually seperates a good poker player from a bad one is when they figure out that they are beat. The bad ones figure out when they are beat after they call away their chips. A good play figures out they are beat when they still have the money in front of them. By making this statement, the singer has proven that he is a bad player and explains why he is out of money and doesn’t have a watch)

Who's up for game three (he isn’t very smart, so he makes another return trip)
I can barely see the bourbon drowning next to me (also, drinking and playing poker is a terrible idea, and drinking till you cant see a bottle next to you means you are going to lose it all)
And I just lost it all (he didn’t fail me)
well there's a man sittin next to me (he is sitting next to a man)
Red, with smiling eyes (apparently the singer has drank a lot of bourbon, this statement makes no sense)
It's funny (ok)
I don't have no money tonight (I don’t see that to be very funny)yeaaaaaaaahhhhhhh (YEAH!)

That was a crazy game of poker (he was involved in a crazy game of poker)
I lost it all (He lost it all)
but someday I'll be back again (he plans on a return visit to the poker game)
And I, never to fold. (he still has not learned his lesson, I want to play poker against him)
Bop bop bop... (BBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP)
I say now skittleedat dat, (I’m the scatman)
Well how bout that? (how about what?)
I'm coming out the front never coming out the back (???????)
And I walked into the bar yesterday (where does he get his money? If I am broke as he claims to be, a bar is not a place to go to)
Cause I had something to do, something to say (He needs to order a beer (what he has to do) and Barkeep, get me a beer (what he has to say))
And Johnny walked in right behind me and I didn't turn around (Apparently Johnny knew he would be at the bar and wanted to play some poker with this guy because he leaks money live a sieve)
Til I heard the sound of his feet falling on the ground (he can hear footsteps)
I looked over my shoulder and I saw a clown (apparently Johnny likes to dress up)
And I said what'cha doin' in the bar tonight. (this is perhaps the single dumbest thing that could have been asked. He is at a bar, what do you think he is going to do? Sew a sweater? A better question would have been something like why are you dressed like a clown, or where do you get a clown outfit, or even so I see you are still a predator)
So I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight? (redundant from the previous dumb question)
He looked at me with a face full of fright (his stupidity scares the clown)
And I said, how bout a revolution? (LETS REVOLT)
And he said right. (well, I have to say that Johnny’s response doesn’t sound nearly as convincing as the singers call to arms)

I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say jah (since jah is a reference to god, and they are referencing their name, are they claming to be god?)
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say jah jah jah
Jahova! (Jahova - 1 definition - (noun) annoying people that interupt you from watching TV. (from the urban dictionary))

And I said, what'cha looking at? (Johnny is looking at something)
He hit me across the face with a bat (Johnny has had enough with the bullshit questions)
I grabbed my .45 and I said let's get out and go (never bring a bat to a gun fight)
So he opened the door and said do what you're here for (now Johnny is asking stupid questions… GREAT)
I said I'm wandering round the road four to four (WTF?)
And I said I been walking for about a thousand years. (he must be the highlander!)
And my feet are growing tired (Bitch)
My eyes a little wired (moan)
Don't know what to do unless I retire (complain – that’s all this guy seems to know how to do)
And he just said let's play some crazy poker (Johnny is just trying to take this guys money again. I like Johnny)

So I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight? (I think the singer is hitting on Johnny)
He looked at me with a face full of fright (Johnny doesn’t swing that way)
And I said, how bout a revolution? (REVOLT)
And he said right. (Johnny by this point is thinking about giving the singer a Columbian neck tie)

I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die (see Johnny is now saying die! Columbian Neck Ties for ALL)
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die dah dah
Day day oh!
I said that, was the craziest game of poker that I ever saw (I believe you)
I said that, was the craziest game of poker that I ever saw (okay, we get it)
But I'm not gonna quit and I'm not gonna stop (refusing to learn from your past experience proves that you are a bad person and need to be stopped)
Don't give a shit cause I got the drop (The rest of this lyric makes even less sense than anything else in this song)
Johnny just got two eyes just like mine (they share eyes!)
And I'm feeling kinda funky, kinda fine (is he drunk?)
And I drank a bottle of whiskey, 'fore I came (apparently. Janis Joplin also drank a bottle of Southern Comfort a night. So they are similar, except for she had talent)
Came to the bar to see what's the same (I am guessing he came to the bar to drink, so this line is incorrect)
I saw my man named Johnny sittin' across the table from me (the singer is again hitting on Johnny hoping that Johnny would be his man. Johnny wisely stays on the other side of the table)
And to my left was a man, he had no chin (he might want to go get that looked at by a doctor. I thought you were suppose to have a chin)
Didn't really think about starting to sin (now we are just throwing in words that rhythm for no reason)
The man to my right wasn't feeling kinda nice (he threw up on Johnny’s shoes)
He looked kinda mad and I felt bad (again, someone is not happy with the singers unwanted sexual advances)
Beacuse I took his money last night it's kinda funny (wait, the singer actually beat someone in poker?)
But now I'm just struggling—(he is having issues again)I need a honey-bunny. (The singer has had trouble getting women who are willing to be a front or can stand these awesome lyrics)
I don't know what to say anymore (I wish he didn’t have anything to say about before he wrote this song)
So I'm just gonna go out, anywho... (he is running out on his tab)
So I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight? (Johnny needs to answer this question, the singer is not going to go away without an answer)
He looked at me with a face full of fright (Johnny scares easily)
And I said, how bout a revolution? (REVOLT)
And he said right. (would you really want to revolt with someone who gets scared by simple questions? This revolt is doomed to fail)
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say jah (so back to the comparisons to god. OAR is godlike I guess)
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say jah
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say jah
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say jah jah jah jahova
javhova, is watching over me... (unfortunately he wasn’t paying much attention when you wrote this song or he could have stopped it.)
Day day oh! (night night ah!)

Swine Flu

2009-04-30T18:02:00.005-04:00

The media hysteria of the emerging pig flu seems to be a bit overdone.

In my home state of Delaware there was a panicky broadcast about how University of Delaware students had "symptoms consistent" with swine flu. The symptoms, however, are almost identical to that of the regular flu. Does everyone remember Y2K? What about Bird flu? or SARS? I am having a real problem even thinking that this is even a minor threat to my existence. Only time will tell I suppose.

GET A SHOT NOW! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE !!!!! AHAAAAHAHAAHAHHAA

Jenny McCarthy is Stupid

Change you can't believe!

2009-04-24T13:13:00.003-04:00

I like it when policy is made using reason

It is amazing how people still think this guy is ready to lead the government. It is amazing how stupid people are who get picked to lead in the government... I should probably shut up now.

Save the Planet

2009-04-20T20:58:00.004-04:00

There are many things that I am passionate about but saving the planet isn't one of them. First of all I simply do not have the power by myself or even through this blog to make a difference. It doesn't matter what kind of car I drive, how many cans I recycle, or what kind of soap I use... None of that will save the polar bears. I LOVE polar bears by the way. I remember seeing them at the Toledo zoo when I was around 3 years old and ever since then I was hooked. The last thing I want is to see mama polar bear watch her poor little baby die because of global warming. If you really want to save the polar bears though forget about hybrid cars, aluminum cans, and carbon credits. The best thing you might be able to do is to not eat so much. It has been said that by being fat you could increase your carbon footprint tenfold. I pretty much made up that statistic but hey it sounds good and this is a blog. The great modern philosopher George Carlin put it best with regards to saving the planet (see below).

Michael McDonald

2009-04-18T10:56:00.002-04:00

Do you like Michael McDonald? I've never really been a very big fan of his work. He does however bring something to the table in his contributions to the Yacht Rocker the Christopher Cross' song "Ride Like the Wind".

He does have a long way to go to make it to the boarder of Mexico!

Also when he sings What a Fool Believes... It just doesn't get any better than that!

THE CASE AGAINST CAP & TRADE

Truths

2009-04-15T21:10:00.011-04:00

Through out history, great thinkers ocassionally come along and advance man kind. The list includes Socrates, Aristotle, Voltaire, Galileo, Di Vinci, Einstein, and THE BUGS. After viewing this and listening to the song, I feel safe including the bugs in this list.

also, i have had this stuck in my head for the last 5 days, so enjoy.

The unfortunate case of PETA vs. Biden

2009-04-13T21:28:00.006-04:00

It seems that too often in this world, two powerhouse annoyances such as PETA and Joe Biden get to square off in a showdown of utter stupidity. This just happens to be the latest example. As you may have seen by now, the "working families czar" has gone out and bought a German Shepard. Although I am not a Biden fan or a big dog guy, he made a great choice by buying from a breeder who has trained the dog to be around kids and for getting a man's dog, not some fuzzy water dog. For now, Biden has proved that he is not a lap dog for PETA by ignoring a letter from the president of PETA (bad pun intended) that urged him to by a used dog and is now accusing him of leading to a dog being killed.This leaves me in the uncomfortable position of having to defend Joe. The idea that Biden "bought one, murdered one" is as ridiculous as any other claim made by PETA. Why would PETA even recommend Biden or Obama get an animal as a pet when its own website states '[It] would have been in the animals' best interests if the institution of "pet keeping" ... never existed'. So an organization that is against keeping animals as pets is trying to advise the vice president on what/where to get as a pet. That makes perfect sense. And I see that a pro-life group is going to start recommending abortion doctors and giving directions to their clinics too! All this proves is that PETA is a self serving organization that only loves to hear itself talk and pretends to be important. But at least they can pretend, unlike the animals they claim are our equals. So congratulations Joe on your new puppy and for resisting the urges of a wacko organization to influence you on an important decision. Too bad your new found backbone has been short lived.

The Easy Way to End the War On Drugs

2009-04-11T13:49:00.002-04:00

In a free society many things are simply not the government's business.... or shouldn't be the government's business. With the increase in drug-related violence and kidnappings throughout the US wouldn't it make sense to end the prohibition that is causing the black market that is funding this organized crime?

With the money we spend as a country on the "war" on drugs along with imperial occupations of troops around the world AND all of our death gadgets wouldn't it be better to focus our time and energy on something that has value to the general public? Freedom, Liberty, and the Constitution should be our guiding principals. For 130 years all drugs were legal in the United States.

Glenn Beck Is F*&king Insane

2009-04-09T20:04:00.003-04:00

Glenn Beck is the latest neo-conservative talk host to grace the airways of the fox news channel. While I do agree with some of Mr. Beck's more libertarian and non-interventionist philosophies, this doesn't change the fact that he is a nut job. He is already calling Obama a socialist. This is used interchangeably with communist dictatorship. Why would Obama be considered socialist? Because he suggested a top tier tax rate of 35%? During the Eisenhower administration the top tier tax rate was 92%. The tax rates were even higher in the Reagan administration than they are now.

Britain is Slightly Smaller than Oregon

2009-04-01T21:33:00.005-04:00

Britain IS slightly smaller than Oregon. Why is this viewed by our English cousins as being arrogant and imperialistic? There are plenty of real substantive arguments that they could make for that. The United States has a great amount of reletively unpopulated and empty farmland. It was simply a way to describe the size of Britain geographically to someone who has never been to that part of the world.

Also, I am not understanding the big uproar about Obama's gifts to the PM and the Queen. Mr. Brown received a collection of American movies from the discount bin and the Queen received an ipod. Big deal. It doesnt bother me that the President is the best or worst gift giver. Why does the queen deserve a gift or even a visit for that matter? She has already recieved the greatest gift in the world and that is who her parents were. She has done nothing to warrent recieving an ipod from my tax dollars. In fact I want the damn ipod for myself. Give it back!

I love the UK and the UK loves me but there is no need to be sensitive about gifts and your size.

US Transportation Policy

2009-03-31T22:17:00.007-04:00

Transportation policy in the United States has largely remained unchanged since Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956. Eisenhower had seen the great benefits of the autobahns in Germany and decided that such a system would bring immense benefits to commerce and economic growth as well as national security and logistics. Building a national highway system made sense at that time. Acquiring the right-of-way, designing, blasting, and all the great amount of work that went into our great highway system is truly one of the marvels of the modern world. All of that said, it was government subsidized highways that helped put many private railroads as well as interior city light rail out of business. General motors at one point actually bought local light rail companies only to dismantle the tracks in a effort to force people to buy cars. Their strategy of lobbying politicians to build bigger and bigger freeways along with systematically removing American light rail infrastructure worked making them one of the most profitable corporations in the world.

The policy today is to spend as much money as possible adding more and more additional lanes and pavement to crowded highways. Unfortunately larger highways simply attract more traffic leading to more lanes and more gridlock. We should examine the innovative transportation systems of other countries and try to come up with a system of funding that favors alternative forms of transportation along with keeping our world class interstate highway system in working order. Government subsidies seem to be a dirty concept for all other forms of transportation OTHER than highways. Highways are heavily subsidized and expensive both in lost property taxes for the large right-of-ways, they require along with maintenance, lighting, signs, bridges, drainage, etc.

National transportation policy should be full of pet projects for different districts. It should but a National Transportation plan with alternatives and research that will allow us to be ahead of the rest of the world. With a world-class transportation and vision we can secure decades of growth just as Eisenhower did back in the 1950’s.
