CBC = "Calls Bush Crazy"

From our "friends" to the frozen North, comes a story I still can't believe:

On "The O'Reilly Factor" comes a tale of slander and outright liberal bias unrivaled even on American MSM news!

A report on CBC's "Fifth Estate" called "Sticks and Stones" impugned to integrity of Fox New Channel, O'Reilly himself, and a Canadian journalist named Rachel Marsden. (bio here)

I personally thought the funniest part of these mockery of journalism was Al Franken crying crocodile tears about going to the Middle East because he "loves this country."

Now, the CBC, like our PBS, is funded with tax money. Imagine that such bias won't happen here? Think again,...


Auschwitz, Blue States, and Pink Triangles

I've been ruminating on these subjects for the balance of the week and, as Mel Brooks (as Comicus) said "I coalesce the vapor of human experience into a viable medium."

I've read on MTA's blog (as well as several other Pacific NW blogs) about the City of Spokane and an all-gay special services neighborhood.

Now, for a group that constantly calls for equality and recognition, why would they want to segregate themselves into a specific area of the city??

Imagine for a moment, if you will, if the government forced gays into a segregated neighborhood and made them wear pink triangles to identify them??? Imagine further that troops kept them in this neighborhood at gunpoint.

Think it can't happen?? Ever hear of Warsaw, Poland around 1939-1940??

I don't think I'll ever understand Blue Staters,...they want diversity BUT NIMBY, they want inclusion AND separation at the same time.

My head would hurt more, but I'm listening to Katie Melua's "Call Off the Search" right now.

The Death of Radio?

No, this isn't another rant about Wannabee-Medic Mike's obsession with XM!

I've been wanting to put this up for awhile now. Today, I'm reading
"The Motley Fool's" take on "The Death of Radio."

While I can see why WHFS's demise hurts, I am surprised the format lasted as long. Philly's own format sister WDRE went to rap years ago.

I also disagree that radio is in freefall because of XM and Sirius. A recent report came out stating that better than 60 of 2004's Top 100 songs (based on play and requests) were hip-hop/R&B/rap.

Rap is a meaningless, repetitive format that fits well into today's corporate, meaningless, repetitive radio monoliths. A reason cited by The Fool for HFS's demise is that it stopped taking chances. How can you "take chances" when your station is looking more at the bottom line than promoting music? (Remember - my position is that rap isn't music anyway - 'nuff said)

Another reason for the rise of satellite Muzak/canned programming?

Look no further than MTV - which promotes such cutting-edge talent as Ashlee Simpson and her sister, Miss Chicken-of-the Sea. A few years ago, I contacted one of Philly's rock stations and called them on promoting themselves as a "rock" station, while giving airtime to Linkin Park, which I deem to be a rap act. Their reply was, in no uncertain terms, that "MTV says Linkin Park is a rock act, and Rolling Stone Magazine lists them as a rock act, so we give them airtime as a rock act."

Finally, if you want to read another view on why radio is dying, check out RAZOR magazine's article "The Day the Music Died (Feb 2005 Issue)."

Help Defeat the Blue

As many people know by now, there's a movement afoot to support the companies that support the Democrats.

It's called "Buy Blue."

Here's a way to defeat them (Not that their scheme will work anyway):

Go to their site, look at the companies that made the list and,...


BOYCOTT THEM!!

Ain't paybacks a bitch?

Addendum - The new updated version rates companies according to the "blueness" or "redness."



Another Log on the Blue Stater Pyre


Say it isn't so!

You think maybe Kerry and Co. will quit bitching about the GOP stealing the Ohio and Florida votes?

``Clearly we have more illegal votes than the margin of victory,'' state Republican Party Chairman Chris Vance said. ``The law is on our side.''

Maybe its time for Gov. Gregoire to step aside and allow another vote! Hell, it worked in the Ukraine, why not here?

The Mind of the Blue Stater

OK,..so Wannabee-Medic Mike and I oriented a new medic yesterday. I've never worked with her before and she's not from our area.

As we got to know each other over the course of the shift, she proclaims "I'm a Democrat and proud of it!" OK,..no problem. She wanted to know if XM carried NPR,...grrr,..but, whatever floats yer boat. Mike and I let her know where we stand (we're both fairly conservative and vote Republican). The FNG proceeds to tell us, "that's fine. I have an open mind to other people's thoughts and I like to exchange ideas."

Yeah, right. Let's see,...as soon as we started 'conversing' about GWB, how some people disrespected the office of the President (not just GWB) by protesting on the inauguration, our policies on Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, etc,....she starts screaming at us like a banshee!

Mike and I couldn't get a word in to save our lives, let alone explain our positions to her.

Hmmm,...and people wonder why "Air America" isn't doing too well?


More on the Oscars

I should have entered this into my poll:

What about "The Passion of the Christ?"

Yes,...Mel Gibson's "Passion" was passed over by the Oscars. There are many prevailing reasons (not necessarily mine) why this occurred:

  • Many studio honchos power brokers are Jewish and the rumored anti-Semitism in this movie turned them off or caused them to boycott its viewing.
  • In the post-election Conservative climate, Michael Moore's "comedy" has all but disappeared. Snubbing "Passion" is Holleftywood's payback.
  • Oddly enough, people thought it should be listed as a"foreign language film" because it was in Aramaic! (I s**t you not!)
  • It isn't the usual dramatic dribble that makes it big these days. Gone are the days of movies like "Ben Hur" and "The Ten Commandments," when religion wasn't considered a bad word.
Oh, well. 20 years from now, we'll see which movie is still being played on TV,..."Passion" or "Fahrenheit,..whatever"

When Are You Going to Die?

Because I'm bored watching it SNOW (again!) and MTA put this up,...




I am going to die at 73. When are you? Click here to find out!

We Got One!

A top lieutenant of al-Zarqawi's terror group, Sami Mohammed Ali Said al-Jaaf, also known as Abu Omar al-Kurdi, was arrested during a raid in Baghdad on Jan. 15, a government statement said Monday.



Why Johnny Can't Bleed


Grrrrr! More touchy-feely BS from the liberal left.

Having suffered the slings and arrows of bullying during my grade school and high school years, I can tell you that nothing better stops a bully straight in his tracks than a well-placed right hook to the jaw in front of his friends.

Let's face it: bullying is the Homo Sapien-enhanced version of choosing alpha males and alpha females (species domination). It's in our genetic code! When will these Blue State morons figure out you can't "F" with Mother Nature?



The Marketing of Failure

Yup, people are always proving that a fool and his money are easily parted!

Check out this travesty!

I wonder how long it took them to concoct these infantile slogans? Probably about as much time as Kerry took to develop a platform!

Special Thanks to Rescue Mike for this one!



Another Snow Job!

OK,..its Saturday Morning. I have season tickets to the Philadelphia Wings and the home opener is tonight!

Having surveyed the purveyors of prognostication (wow,..Wannabee Mike's brains caught fire!) , the following MAY or MAY NOT happen today:
  • Philly will get 6-12" by tonight, with a lot of wind tomorrow
  • Philly will get 8-18" by tonight, near blizzard conditions and wind tomorrow
  • Philly will get 12-20", including when the storm hits the sea and becomes a Nor'Easter and dumps even MORE snow on us tomorrow.
I will, however, make a forecast of my own: Da Iggles will beat the Dirty Birds of Atlanta, 27-20. (That's taking the Eagles at 5 1/2 and the under) Expect lots of passing if its snows, but lots of rushing if the winds kick up. David Akers leg will need to be spot-on accurate tomorrow!

CBS Just Doesn't Get It!

OK,..a few days behind the curve on this one, but,...

Reports are out that CBS is trying to court Katie Couric as the replacement for Dan Rather.

Is Les Moonves nuts???

Katie Couric? One of the "Princesses of the Liberal/Progressive Agenda?"
Katie Couric? The anti-Ann Coulter? (Described once by Coulter as "an affable Eva Braun" BTW)
The same Katie Couric that's "the Queen of Mean" to Republicans, but a cheery little chipmunk to her liberal pals?

I highly doubt this story is accurate, though. Katie would never take a job where she can't show her legs on TV all day!

Snow Job!

Yeah! It finally SNOWED around here! I mean,..it's January and the temps were still in the 50s, foggy and rainy all the time!

As I drove home from work last night (and drove,..and drove,..and drove),..I had time to think about a few things (s**t like this happens when you're crawling along at 5 mph for 45 minutes!)

1) People around here have serious memory problems! Everyone seems to forget how to drive once 1/2" of snow hits the road! (Of course,.sLower Merion Twp's lack of salt on Rte 30 didn't help matters) Hey,..just drive like you did LAST YEAR, when it snowed!

2) About 1 mile from my house is a large hospital on a lot of very hilly ground. When I was a kid, everyone from the area went sledding on the two big hills in front of the hospital. Parents were always around watching us.

Nowadays, things have changed: one hill doesn't exist anymore, since they made a driveway all the way around the hospital campus and built a new ER, and there are now signs up along the other hill saying "NO SLEDDING! RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH." No kidding! Really! That's why we had ADULTS around when we did it. Hell,..I can't count the number of times I took a tumble down that hill and came home all bruised up. I even hit a dry patch once, went sailing, head first, down the hill and broke my nose! I went home crying, bleeding like a stuck pig. My mom put an ice pack on it, called my pediatrician, and I went to see him the next day to have my nose put back in place and patched up.

I guess some lawyers and risk-management people convinced the hospital that they were at risk for potential lawsuits (you see these pond-scum lawyers on TV all day!) and ruined everyone's good time.

Sigh,......but HEY! More snow this weekend!

My State of the Union

Well,...GWB's inauguration showed everyone, once again, why HE should be "the leader of the free world" today.

Y'know,...forget what your opinions are of the man, what happened in November (BTW - Nightline did a surprisingly superior piece on the "Ohio theft" last night), and at least respect the office of the President of the United States!

I don't know what was worse today: the protesters raising signs saying "Not MY President;" the MSM breaking away from GWB's address to show them be hauled away or Hillary's grumpy face; or reports that I've heard on the radio that many teachers in Pennsylvania (an urban "Blue"/rural "Red" state) wore black today and refused to show the swearing in to their students! Pennsylvania was "won" by Kerry!

Related opinion here! Isn't it odd that the day after MLK Day, the president is once again slammed and maligned by the Julian Bond and the NAACP? You'd think by now, they'd get it. GWB is the FIRST president to have not only a BLACK Secretary of State, but now his successor is going to be the FIRST BLACK FEMALE SoS!

Random (Political) Rants for January 17, 2005

Or,..."What Happens When the TrekMedic Doesn't Blog for More Than 24 Hrs!"

  • Islam is a "peaceful religion? Tell that to the family of Hossam Armanious.
  • Kill the message, or the messenger. Seymour Hersch, no lover of the Bush administration, reports the US may have troops in Iran, reconnoitering the country for tactical purposes. OK, the White House denies the report, but I can only hope and pray its true. Plus, it should give the mullahs in Iran pause that we've been able to insert and extract US troops right under their noses
  • OK,...so the new Airbus jet is outselling Boeing. The company that manufactures the Airbus is subsidized by several EU countries. Of course, they have the money to subsidize a private firm that can compete with the other big aircraft manufacturer because they don't have to spend it on their own military. We do that for them. Imagine how fast these countries would cry poormouth if we pulled our troops (and the $$$ they spend) out and sent them to somewhere more important!
  • Finally,...Kerry picked the perfect day to ONCE AGAIN claim to all who would hear: "I wuz robbed!" He again claims the election was "stolen" by the Republicans. Really?? Ask (elected) Gov. Rossi of Washington how it feels! So just face it, John: you lost,...get over it,...look forward to 2008,..and PLEASE SHUT THE F**K UP!!!

Thoughts on ML King Day

DISCLAIMER: I am not attempting to besmirch the character of Dr. King, just what foolery is done in his name.

I don't know what MLK Day is like where you live, but here's a snapshot of the day here in Philly:
  • First, the school's are all closed (natch). Not that anybody would go today,... anyway, urban blacks, in lockstep, make their way to "community centers" and churches (thereby violating Rule 501c3) to receive their annual indoctrination on how badly "Da Man" treats them, and how Dr. King's dream is still deferred.
  • Second, big public spectacles are made by the usual Professional Protesters,....I mean, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, et al. The area's white elected (Democratic) officials stand around, twiddle their thumbs, look ill-at-ease being there, then mumble a few words of more empty promises to placate the masses.
  • Seriously deluded lily-white kids from the seriously deluded lily-white suburbs pay homage to Dr. King by being bused into Philly to pick up litter, paint murals, and cover up graffiti in the "urban" parts of the city. The local natives would do it, but they're too busy being told how bad "Da Man" is!
  • Finally, to demonstrate how bad blacks have it in this country, the Sixers played an afternoon game against (Charlotte? New Orleans?)
Yeah,...I can hear Dr. King spinning in his grave now.

Muck Finnesota!

Randy Moss gets hit with a measly $10K fine?? No wonder he made such assinine comments like "It's only 10 grand - what's 10 grand to me?"

Well,..I know that "10 grand" will buy Philadelphia fans a LOT of C-cell batteries come Sunday. Just ask J.D. Drew about that, boy!

Anyway,..taking Da Iggles at 8 1/2 and the over at 48. My predication: Iggles 38-20!

The Difference Between a Democrat and a Republican?

Democrats And The Homeless

A Republican and a Democrat were walking down the street when they came to a homeless person. The Republican gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his business for a job. He then took twenty dollars out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person.

The Democrat was very impressed, and when they came to another homeless person, he decided to help.

He walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office. He then reached into the Republican's pocket and got out twenty dollars. He kept 15 for administrative fees and gave the homeless person five. Now you understand the difference between Republicans and Democrats.

National Security?

I heard this story today on the Michael Smerconish radio show today and I'm still shaking my head!

A fellow named Colin Cameron was vacationing in NYC on December 20th, 2004. While eating breakfast at his TriBeCa hotel, he looked out the window and saw an "Arab-looking" man in a nondescript black van, taking pictures.

The view from that particular window was nothing special, so this raised so suspicion in Mr. Cameron. He took out his own camera and began to take some photos of the "Arab" photographer.

After making some inquiries, Mr. Cameron found out the building being photographed was the AT&T nexus for ALL OF NEW YORK CITY!!

Now the"fun" begins,....

Mr Cameron went back home to Doylestown, PA and went on-line to the Pennsylvania Dept of Homeland Security website. After filling out the appropriate form, he went about his business.
To this day, the PA DHS has NOT responded to his report. A phonecall to the same office was answered by the Pennsylvania State Police. They, in turn, referred Mr Cameron to the NY State Department of Homeland Security.

Small problem: You can't call their 800 number from outside of the state!

And this is how we're going to stop terrorists from attacking us again???

Well,...it proves two things:

1) The entrepreneurial spirit of capitalism is STILL alive and well in this country. Which actually flies in the face of most neo-Socialists, and,...

2) A fool and his money ($8.95 to be exact) are soon parted.

Now, what we REALLY need in this country is something called "REALITY SHOW BLOCKER!"

Uterine Invasion?

Virginia State Legislator John Cosgrove has introduced a new bill that I'm sure will start the pro-life/pro-choice argument anew.


Personally, I'm kinda scratching my head re: the logic behind needed a law like this. At some point I'm thinking that it would violate HIPAA rules, providing the woman calls for EMS support after the miscarriage.

More Opinions on The Tsunami!

Just a sample from WorldNet Daily:


Three things really draw people to God:
  • Miracles
  • Tragedy
  • Persecution
And then there's this pile of s**t:

BLAME JEWS, NOT GOD -
You have it wrong. God did not cause and is not responsible for the tsunami.
The CIA and the MOSSAD have conspired to initiate an atomic underwater bomb that would do harm to thousands of Muslims living in littoral areas of Southeast Asia. Their purpose is to kill and to frighten Muslims who oppose the Zionist hegemony.

More on The XM Craze

Because Wannabee-Medic Mike continues to torture my musical sensibilities and delight in making my ears bleed,..AND because I just can't let a good thread die a quiet death:






You Know You're Addicted to XM Radio When...


You find yourself humming or whistling the XM "Theme" (those 7 notes you always hear).

You find yourself calling AM/FM stations "channels".

You don't even listen to FM anymore.

You find yourself going crazy when you are stuck with a rental car or your parents car without XM

Anytime you listen to FM and look at the radio expecting to find out the Title & Artist Info on the screen.

You got to a party and bring your boombox. After you brag it up to everyone for a while they all can't help but wonder if you are really a salesman for xm.

You would rather spend money on XM equipment istead of TV.

Someone asks you "what's new?" and you start by telling them about something you heard on XM...

You quit your job because you don't have a south facing window

All your presets on your car radio are tuned to the modulator frequency for XM

You're watching TV wondering what you're missing on XM

You officially change your name to "Xavier Mathew Fanatic"

You wanted a new Mercedes hardtop convertable, but get a GM car instead because it came with XM built in.

When you have th XM 7-note jingle as the ring tone for your cellphone!

Stickers on your car/suv/truck are all about XM... making you a XMredneck

XM is the only thing that can help you sleep at night

Your car battery dies because you were listening to xm for too long with the engine off


You buy a new stereo system in home/car to get best sound quality possible from xm

You've spent hours running wires out of your home stereo and up through the walls to pump XM through your entire house with your intercom system. Ah...XM in every room, plus the back deck!

You rig a SkyFi car kit in your barn so you can listen while you are grilling steaks.

You intentionally switch all the way over to the third lane because you know that the signal does not cut out when going under a certain bridge in that lane.

You look forward to the day that AM and FM has to advertise on XM just to have and hope of surviving.

You know the XM channel lineup better than what your friends like to do for fun.

XM is so important, that you wait to finish hearing the program and you miss the first 5 minutes of the movie in the theater.

You call the DJ on your favorite channels and they know your voice and you don't have to give your name, cause you call so often.

You elect to go through the drive through (knowing they very well will screw up youre order) but you risk it anyway because you dont want to leave you're vehicle

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are addicted to XM.

2005 New Year's Revolutions

First, Happy New Years to all readers!

Second, ...yes!,...the title is correct. I no longer make resolutions, since things occur during the year and I wind up pushing them by the wayside.

So,..from now on, these won't be resolutions, but instead, the rule of law when I am proclaimed Emperor of all Earth! (What? You think I blog for S&Gs? This blog is merely laying the groundwork for my eventual conquest of mankind! Mwaa-haa-haa!)

Anyway,....here's the list:

1) Any celeb that names their child after a fruit, vegetable, car part, road sign, etc,..will have the child taken away from them, renamed something normal, and given up for adoption to a real family.

2) Any celeb that moves to Europe, then continues to trash the US and our government will have their citizenship revoked. I'm all for the First Amendment, but have the balls to say it here, first!

3) Any soccer mom who drives an SUV where either the steering wheel or the tires are bigger than she is will have their driver's licenses revoked.
3A) Any soccer dad who buys his wife one of the aforementioned SUVs will be castrated.
