Gag Me with a Spoon!

OK, my wife made me do it! Sit through the Shannyn Moore Show. That my friends was just as unpleasant as a mandatory session listening to Arianna Huffington huff & puff her way to glory! Good thing that upon Christmas past I was the beneficiary of a Black Butte XXI 11% glycolic beverage, as that eased the pain. OK, the Moore show was not that bad! It was an alright broadcast, nothing Doberman like, until the entire cast on stage thought it was comedy central and started laughing upon the subject of whistleblowers. It wasn’t an attack, just show-time boredom as this one particular segment was progressing at a snail’s pace and providing nothing but wasted airtime. Sponsors beware! But it doesn’t surprise me, the comedy spot, as even the good and accurate factor pundits - like Olbermann’s Countdown - have changed course over the years and behave more and more like it is a reality TV show he or she is facilitating. Who’s on 1st? I was an early on follower of Olbermann, when it was pure seriousness. Nowadays, he gets caught up in the fantasy alley, just like Alaskan bloggers spending precious time reporting on false witness representation – a.k.a. Rush wannabes like Sarah Palin and company. Today, about the only good show that tries to nail the coffin without prejudice is the “Ed Show”. But I am sure when ratings crash, bring on the crap publicity that sells Viagra! Anyway, making fun of whistleblowers, that was the straw that…See, we really need strong individual not afraid to blow the cover of corruption, to blow the whistle. Internal prosecution can make a big difference, but the way the laws are structured giving escapism a dimension of its own for a business, it is difficult to excite employees to perform ethically, like blowing the whistle when things internally are not up and up. Bottom line, it is not a laughing matter. As there are no laws to protect those that see fit to buck the system, and it does mean unemployment, so maybe the facilitator should be more sensitive to what the panel crusades upon. Moore had the opportunity to make that point clear and convincing but the laughter continued. Disgraceful in my book. But then again, it appeared to be a fallout from show-time boredom. And instead of having a show that listens to one side a lopsided debate, it would do the community a better service to provide a counter punch, so both sides are represented, this in regards to the one sided debate about the Alaskan fisheries. Look, I have listened for over 30-years this gloom and doom from those that try to make a living from the high seas. It is a two way street. Win some, loose some. Look, I heard nothing on this show about how many times Uncle Sam has purchased those FV fishing vessels in efforts to save a fish species from going extinct. The boat buy back program - designed for the “little guys” - allows boats gainfully employed in fisheries with dwindling stocks to be sold and purchased by Uncle Sam at the fair market value, then auctioned off for pennies on the dollar. This may be where the “bailout” stuff originated. Once sold, the only restriction is the fact that the boat can no longer engage in the fisheries it previously helped deplete. So the boat is re-purchased, usually by the old owner, decked out from the savings ripping off Uncle Sam, all in efforts to attack another species. Over time, that species dwindles away to shocking stock numbers and once again the boat buy back program comes into effect, wherein boats are again purchased and starts the same damn thing all over again. A GAO account has reported that some boats have been purchased three times by Uncle Sam! It is by far another rip-off scheme made available through the U.S. Treasury courtesy the taxpayers. So when the panel attacks Ted and Ben, bravo on that, it is Ted that started this rip off program and I have never heard any fisherman complain about it, as it is like an insurance policy for the future. Like fishery insurance reform courtesy Uncle Sam. Let Sammy but it! And no fisherman out there can say that the year-round halibut season did any good for Alaskan consumers! It is a supply and demand thing. Halibut has increased in price, gone way down in quality as the outdated crap must sell before the fresh stuff, and we call this commerce for all? Like Moore pointed out, the resources belong to the people of Alaska, but what’s in your wallet? So even though this show touched on things of interest, it falls short a real forum that has meaning. Maybe over time it will prove to be beneficial, but who the hell is watching. I fear her panel count was more then the audience. And the only reason I was in front of the tube was the fact it was too cold outside to ski comfortably and I stay away from the trails when Randall is out loose! Here is another thing. Everybody looks so uncomfortable! Shannyn, get a table so when the panel is not engaged in conversation, they can play with themselves, I mean twitter! And remember what the authorities say about the mudflats, “Dangerous. Don’t Get Stuck!”

Richie Rich Kid

There exist a whole lot of things that extend without merit in messing up my life, liberty and pursuit of happiness these days. Congress out of control is one of those messes. But what about outside interests with nothing better to do then try to disrupt my peace and quiet? Lets take the “underwear” bomber that tried in vain to take down a plane full of happy travelers with some contraption he purchased while in Yemen? First and foremost, there may be a trend occurring herein this latest situation to bomb innocent travelers. Hey assholes, we peon class travelers packed in these planes like sardines, we are not the reason this country has wars of occupancy and secret wars going on abroad. “We the People” have been hijacked, so please leave us alone. You want revenge, seek out those that are not only trying to destroy your world, but at the same time their actions or inactions are taking a toll on my liberties! And so what is the 1st thing that occurs when the administration finds out that this dirty “underwear” bomb was fabricated and sold from Yemen? Increase spending. Basically, pay them off for practicing killing field restraint, by taking pity upon innocent Americans. The world has become sick. If only we put our energies together for the good, the Creator would reward. What is wrong with this administration? It appears that it is nothing short of a Bill Clinton dereliction in disguise. Let’s face the facts; Hillary is not doing one iota of good dressed to the hilt as an ambassador. The squirrel that resides in my backyard practices better diplomacy! And Bush was not anything close a president, so the last 8-years have been discounted as comatose! For Obama’s first year, the verdict is still out but it appears when working with a broken Congress, nothing is possible. This world is closer to nuclear holocaust now then ever before, it is so close towards a meltdown. Like the cold-war relics still have reason to believe that it wants to test the ultimate authority, an all out strike. Get over it Ollie, give peace a chance. And to everybody out there in the 111th Congressional cesspool, “war is over if you want it”. Now the “underwear bomber” was a Richie Rick kid. He went to grade school that cost his old man - a banker - $50,000 a year. Then it was on to some Richie Rich kid college and when he graduated, his inheritance or weekly allowance allowed him the luxury of a million dollar flat in London. This kid never owned up to a real job, a sweat type job that builds character. Putting it in perspective, this kid had a whole lot of free time on his side and money to cause pain and suffering upon others. Basically, since he was spoon fed since birth he became bored with life, as there existed no challenges. I have kids, kids that have not the time or luxury to behave like Richie Rich kid as they have more important things to do, like paying back college loans and working their butts off just to get ahead. So there may be a moral in this almost sad story that ended up a warning. The rich are the doom of this country. We often make fun of inbreeding, but what is coming out of the cradle from rich bastard bedrooms, it is pathetic, dangerous and if we don’t put a stop to it, it will postpone peace on earth. Bottom line, when we allow the rich to get away with bundles of cash wherein they will breed generations that will never have to work for a living, wherein these spoiled kids can through boredom do as they please, we are breeding hoodlums. And when we allow Congress to giveaway the Treasury to CEOs, theses failed idiots who dress well, eat well, these idiots I re-iterate who seem not able to even balance a cork never mind billions, well we may be getting what we deserve, for letting Congress get away with thievery. There is a solution. Bottom line, anything over the Federally mandated trinity wage defined as that amount of cash necessary to live like a Congressmen - namely approximately $178,000 - it should all be taxed at 100%. Anything below that amount, no taxation. Hey, Congress sets their own salary in efforts to reach that life, liberty and pursuit of happiness – the so-called trinity. They know what it takes, so are not they supposed to set the stage so “We the People” can have an equal opportunity? Of course, that is what is behind representation. So when and if we feel obligated to take hold of the out-of-control system that is causing a dereliction in fairness, then we may start to see people afraid to even think to cause this country harm. When we see “Defense Bills” that no longer contain enough “pork” wherein even Congressional delegate kids have to start working for a living, instead of just giving away the henhouse, then maybe there is hope. See, the wars - both the un-Constitutional Iraq and Afghanistan wars and private CIA wars - all have become nothing more then a murderess ways and means for corporations to make a bundle. Peace? Forget it as that doesn’t make money for CEOs and the money saved from not killing could be used for more beneficial things, like fixing this country’s dilapidated highways infrastructure. It is pathetic, if not criminal, the way Congress behaves nowadays. Look, the old outdated lame excuse that they can do as they please because they are elected by the people is crap, as we don’t know what they do day in day out in efforts to blatantly giveaway the Treasury., or behind closed door secluded meetings to fund secret CIA atrocities or bilking the Americans out of their inheritance. Bernie Madoff was nothing compared to the Ponzi scheme that the representative body resorts too, in efforts to keep their cushion high paid jobs for a lifetime. See if we knew upfront what they planned to do, we may say “NO”! So there exists problems and readily available solution. But as the rich get richer and the middle class hard working salt of the earth Americans get weaker, there will come terror, from rich assholes who will use all their money to get their kids out of jail free, when caught red handed with dirty underwear. And just wait and see how many true American lawyers will come to the expensive aid of this idiot, saying that everybody deserves a fair trial. They are un-patriotic Americans in it for the buck, just like Congress. Money hungry crazy bastards that give not a rat’s ass what the history books will say, as there is always another side of the story, it is called bipartisan bickering. So, if there is one clear-cut reason other civilizations hate America, it is because of the rich bastard image. This is not an attempt to shame capitalism as the latter can work as long as the strings attached are controlled by those whose contributions follow the American standard, of love thy neighbor and share as you cannot take it with you when you…. Too much money is dangerous, and it appears that Richie Rich kid deserves one line of credit, for some new underwear, please make it a thong to wrench his golden sweat missing neck. Talk about a proud Dad! Maybe Mr. Banker should have spent time with his kids, teaching them about life, instead of letting them learn by themselves how to take another’s innocent life.

Missing Bird Mystery Alert

I am not a scientist. When puzzled with fuzzy logic, slug mass math or big bang theorizing, I resort to the expertise of Phineas J. Whoopee for advise and advice, as his 3-D BB seems to always find a simpleton answer. Sorry, the 3-D BB is not a brassiere sizing! And I believe in the almighty equation made famous by Newton, the “Zero Root” equation, which seems to define the sum intelligence of all of Congress when gathered together under one roof in efforts to do something about Health Care. Actually Mark Twain held the best possible solution for Congress – Jail! Things never change towards the positive with politics. But there may exist a health care issue of serious concern, consequences and importance needing immediate government funding. Hey, if Alaska under Ted Stevens’ reign of corruption could get Federal assistance to study the penis size of the male Musk oxen…. And this present concern may be an issue upon “Global Warming” even though the Gore Hypotheses was tainted. There appears to be something rotten in Anchorage. Sure we have rape out of control and homicide out of control and obesity out of control and a mayor out of control and discrimination out of control, but there appears something wrong in nature. My New Year’s Day bird-count was devastating from previous years’ beak counts. We have overcrowding in the skies by Ravens, but what ever happened to the chickadee population? It has crashed. Down almost 90% from historical estimates according to my present feeding records. It is scary! Even so with the more secluded mountain chickadee species, wherein the woods are void their merry song. And I saw a bird that was really difficult to identify, as it had the body of a chickadee but the head with beak that of a nuthatch! Any help on this one from local bird watching aficionados? Now it seems that in the past when hundreds of chickadees would bombard my backyard feeders, a few nuthatches would intervene now and then, like they hung out with the chicks. But this early season I would see days wherein it was just nuthatches, no chickadees whatsoever. Nothing had really changed around my neighborhood that would upset the normal bird patterns this time of year. I live a stones throw away from Campbell Tract, so that wilderness still persists with some semblance of “unchanged”. The weather has been the same, normal. And whatever happened to all the damn brown bears that once frequented this neck of the river and creek. Sure the BLM tract was off limits this past biking season, but there came zero reports when just the previous year to not see a browny in that backcountry meant somebody was asleep at the wheel. Something is going on. Now I work up north, where polar bears thrive. There has come a drastic change in the ecosystem up that way, the ice is disappearing at alarming rates. Polar bears are being seen all the time, when just a few years ago it was a rarity this time of year, as they would not dear lower themselves to human interaction, but now have a reason as they are on the look out for food that has disappeared from their normal hunting grounds. That change may be by contribution the fallout of Gore warming. But here in Anchorage proper, what is with the diminishing chickadee population? It has to be the meth that is entering this state from outside influences. Look, just the other day a 70-year old man was picked up in a sting, for bringing meth to Alaska. It was a capture of 23-pounds of this nasty drug. Who in hell here in Alaska is using this stuff? See, we blew it by criminalizing Mary Jane! This may be payback for conceited legislation. And here is my take on the birds. The woods in and around Anchorage have become safe haven for the “fake” homeless, those that need meth to support an existence of nothingness. At least “true” homeless have meaning to society as it makes people happy to contribute to the cause. So the “fakes” live in the woods, and it is the meth that is killing the birds. Now I am not picking on “true” homeless, as these drug addicts taking up residency in the woods seem not to care about their filthy ways and means. It’s an addiction, just like paying so much attention to Sarah Palin! When one walks through the woods, especially in the BLM outback, there is enough evidence that there exists refugee camps, and that is why the bear population has withered away to nothing, as bears are smart and want nothing to do with druggies. But we as a civilization are stuck. When we have wars that support opium farming where no poppies grew before, so the locals can buy weapons to defend their own territory we seem proud at occupying, what do we expect? We fight them, they poison us. Drug imports have escalated with the wars. I mean conflicts. The same damn thing happened during the Vietnam war. And the innocent are the ones caused the most harm. Look, birds cannot control what happens from some idiotic policy maker many miles away on the Hill. But we can. The fact that a defense bill contains massive “pork”, isn’t this a Constitutional crime? Sure it is. We as citizens should be gathering together as a posse to defend America and with handcuffs, dedication and determination marching on our individual representative’s place of business and performing a citizens arrest, a cease & desist, because what is happening today with a failed Congress is nothing short an execution of hate legislation. But if we remain complacent and do nothing, in the end we will all pay for it. The Constitution is not flawed, but the way it is manipulated is a dereliction of duty. What goes on today by our so-called body of representation is treason and unfortunately we give the bastards the license to kill, and at the same time pay for their shenanigans. Instead of the United States House of Congress, it is better said the United States House of Corruption. Congress today reeks of corruption. And it will continue down that road to ruins as long as America sits back and just wishes for true representation. Hey, the candy store continues to be robbed and with the seasoned crooks still at the door, do you really think there will be anything left when they are dead and gone? What a deal it is, but I remind you all, this in not what MY Constitution is all about. Sad days upon us, and it will probably get worse off before we wake up and realize that the imported Mexican meth and the imposter body of representatives have obstructed justice, that these wars upon us here and abroad threatens the safety of our children, as we have not a sober Congress to depend upon for anything, not even safe woods to walk in or safety for little birds. Treasury money is an addiction to the “Corrupt Bastards” ways and means behaving as Constitutional obstruction. We must cut off the spigot or else. Yes indeed, a country without a MISSION! And believe me, there is no damn mission being accomplished today accept maybe a mutiny upon our Bounty! Maybe someday the chickadees will return and with that rest assured that the arrests upon political corruption were meaningful. Mission Accomplished, the American way, “For the People, By the People”.

Congratulations!

Bravo! Congratulations to the entire cast of Alaskan Bloggers that have set Sarah Palin free on the 1st day of this New Year. It was great, not one iota a blog about Sarah, proving without a doubt that we can do without her. Let’s continue the trend with this “Sarah Palin Moratorium”, and she will just fizzle away a celebrity. So, who will be the 1st Alaskan blogger to break the “good news” spell? Talk about a “HAPPY” New Year upon US!

Ditto Man Released!

Well Rush is out of the hospital. I wonder what’s in his wallet, with respect to a Health Care plan card? It was so airwave quiet from the mountains to the prairies to the oceans when he was incarcerated away and under quarantine. But it wasn’t a heart attack, thank God, as I don’t know what the Conservatives would do without his day in day out ED – explosive diarrhea of the mouth. Maybe he was constipated from head to toe. Talk about a hand grenade of doom if his big gut ever burst open under such pressure. It would give a whole new meaning to the word “Crap”. I dread the thought of his replacement! So stay with us Rush, please…..If not serious, he offers entertainment. I watched the Three Stooges the other day on the last day of the year, it was a marathon display of old fashion slap-stick comedy. Rush plays all three roles at the same time. Moe the boss, Larry the idiot, Curly the fat guy, and Shemp the lunatic. How rewarding a role model Rush is! And since this “Stooge” comedy entertains by a show of force, somebody beating up on others, even a brother or friend, it is Rush! Anyway, Rush doesn’t know what caused the “pain” and his staff infection staff doesn’t know what caused him to miss out on the New Year’s festivities. What a way to bring in the year, drugged up. Maybe that was his approach, as he is known to dabble behind the counter. But he gave a press conference upon his release and was missing his cigar! Rush without his stogie is like Palin…Sorry, I am not supposed to go that out-of-bounds direction as there still exists a “Palin Moratorium” upon bloggers to not placate her fantasy of the world’s worst book writer. Anyway, the missing cigar must have a story behind it. Remember when there was that book called “An Emergency Room Horror”, or something to that effect? There was a story about a “big lady” getting hauled into the ER. Medics were dropping like flies, as there was some kind of reeking odor coming from the patient. Low and behold, it was from a decaying corned-beef sandwich stuck – or hidden – under the flab of her stomach spare tire – Cat 980 size. True story! Evidently, she had forgotten about it or was to embarrassed to state the truth of the matter as to why this secret no mans no soap land had become the depository for a sandwich. See mayo deteriorates at 85 degrees! Is it that bad in some parts of America wherein even refrigerators are not safe from pilferage? Really, there was a reported home invasion on New Year’s Eve wherein the crooks didn’t want anything except what they could carry away from the victim’s refrigerator! Even the booze was left behind. Anyway, maybe Rush’s pain came from something in the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe that is the truth in this matter that has found no definitive reason as to why Rush was rushed to the hospital after feeling a pain. Put it in perspective, missing cigar, constipation, pain? Then again, maybe that discomfort he is feeling is a subliminal pain, realizing that one day his reign as king pin discriminator and border line treason inciter has cost this country a lot of backwards like pain. His ways and means to demoralize have not a constructive result. Maybe it is payback, and maybe though he should call it quits, there is this underlying scary thought that should he retire and a woman beat all others to the finish line as his replacement, then everything he ever stood for is now balless! That my friends is a true RUSH!

IOI - Alaska State Troopers

Issues Of Interest for Alaskan Bloggers: Alaska needs your help in getting an interest brewing up upon several subjects of interest. Bloggers have an audience and know how to get the word out, for debate and meaningful discussion that can lead to change. The bloggers forum sets the “stage of today” and the voice of change that can make a difference, especially if the locals corral the individual energies as one upon meaningful things challenging our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. There is life after Sarah! So for Alaska and Alaskans alike, what is needed is a boycott upon the National Geographic Channel’s new reality TV show called “Alaska State Troopers”. This show tries to make Alaska look really bad, stereotypes discriminatory broadcasting and is ethnic profiling at its worst. Quotes from NGC advertising: “Where anyone they encounter could be armed”, “When we contact people we know a few things. We know that they will have guns, they will have knives, and they know how to use them”. This is profiling! If there isn’t a law against this type of harm, there should be. How and why Alaskan assets were allowed to make this crap is beyond belief and makes me wonder if anybody down in Juneau is guarding the henhouse. Where the hell is the AG ? Missing in action! Anyway, the new episode is supposed to air Saturday, January 9th. Alaskan bloggers need to get the word out to boycott not only this series but to boycott the commerce that supports this ridiculous and lousy broadcast. I am not sure what corporations sponsor the episodes, but when it airs again, the recorder will be monitoring the lunatics trying to make a buck on others hard luck. From that broadcast, a list of sponsors to boycott will be published. Also, another show needing a boycott lesson is found on the Discovery Channel, called the “Deadliest Catch”. This show glorifies a smoking habit as a condition of employment as a deckhand, captain or greenhorn. Any kids watching this show finding an interest as a possible career builder, well it appears that it could incite smoking at an early age, or any age, which is a backward approach to this unhealthy habit that has cost the taxpayers and individuals a lot of loot to combat. And lets face the facts, most of the celebrities that appear on camera for this show when not in makeup don’t even live in Alaska and some of the deckhands are convicts! Really, one of the hands shown gainfully employed by the “Wizzard” was on the “Most Wanted” bulletin board. And Alaska was getting the smoking habit under control, but when a reality TV showing with popularity demonstrates that smoking helps make the show, by filming this almost outlawed behavior, there is more too it then lack of morality. The smoking is highlighted to gain a demoralizing attitude towards those in the business, which applies negative emphasis to this work and makes the reality show a couch potato addiction, another unhealthy habit. Somebody must be directing such filming to include it, as it could easily be cut out of the final product and not shown to viewers. Now we are all free to “not” watch such crap, but at the same time we can also boycott the sponsors, so they realize that what they sponsor in efforts to increase commerce their way, it will be tolerated if they police their own actions. Anyway, these are the things of interest that Alaskan bloggers can grab onto and incite debate with the possibility that the perpetrators of such ridiculousness will change their bad habits, change their ways and means wherein this state looks like the Alaska we know it is and not what some outsider with very little knowledge tries to portray with 30-minutes claim to fame, framing us all with the real truth “missing in action”!

So Far So, So Good!

Even after celebratory boozing, fireworks and banging in the New Year, there seems to be a truce in force that proves the point. So far there has not been posted any “blog” on this site with reference to Sarah Palin! See, it will work. Just stop wasting time making her popularity soar and she will just whither away, sour and sore! So keep up the good work. In fact, if this day is successful with the Palin Moratorium, lets try it out for this New Year’s entire 1st week! Like a New Year’s resolution. So to those bloggers who have kept the bloggersphere entertained with Palin rhetoric, truths or whatever day in and day out over the 2009 roughing it in season, so far so, so good NO SARAH PALIN. It makes me want to keep on celebrating! There is Life after Sarah…..
