Dear United States Postal Service,

You sorry sods…you fuck twats. I am writing to let you know just how much I actuallydespise you. I am truly unsure was to why you allow people to track packages over the internet if you don’t update the information properly. I also wonder how serious you would take it if I beat one of your carriers to a pulp. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that the same package I couldn’t track was the one that was returned to the branch office? Perhaps it was also a coincidence that although your website said there was a notice left there was none. Which I find particularly hilarious since I get my things mailed to my grandmothers house and she’s always home. Adding to this is the fact that I also had another package delivered there the very same day you said no one was there. Hmmmm. What’s wrong with this picture. So I came in and picked up my package and you gave me one for my mother. This is great…when I stopped by to drop it off your wonderful carrier had left my Old Navy package sitting on the front steps. Here’s the best part…my grandmother…was in the house. So no one even bothered to ring they bell when leaving the package on the steps. Not even a ring and walk away. Just leave my shit on the steps. I would love to pummel you all about the head and shoulders. I’d considered sending you a letter to express my extreme hatred for you…but you probably wouldn’t get it. Please die.

With Hatred,

“What makes community organizing especially attractive is the faith it places in the ability of the poor to make decisions for themselves.”
Paul Wellstone

Dear Mrs. Palin…Fuck You….

Community organizing is a process by which people are brought together to act in common self-interest and compel others to join them. While organizing describes any activity involving people interacting with one another in a formal manner, much community organizing is in the pursuit of a common agenda. Many groups seek populist goals and the ideal of participatory democracy.

Here are some community organizers you may be familiar with:

Martin Luther King Jr.
William Wallace
Paul Revere, John Adams, John Hancock and the Sons of Liberty
The Goddamn FOUNDING FATHERS OF THIS COUNTRY
The Newsboys of 1899

Shut your dumb ass up. Community Organizer do that work that people like you and McCain come and take pictures in front of for publicity. Community organizers thwarted you as mayor when you tried to fire that Librarian. I pray you get eaten by a polar bear…that is all.

“Politics, n. Strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. “
Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914), The Devil’s Dictionary

Hey kids. I thought I’d talk about something else that’s been on my mind for a while. While I am a law abiding citizen there are some forms of crime that I admire. Cat burglary and Cons are easily two of my favorite crimes. See If I want to commit armed robbery…it’s pretty easy. Just about anyone can accomplish this. A Con artist, however, is so much more beautiful at work. Just think of it. Instead of taking your money by force…I’m going to convince you to give it to me and I’ll make you think that you’re actually winning in the situation. That is until you realize you are a sucker and I have all your money. I’m certain most of us get the feeling that politics is basically a con. Consider the profession that breeds many politicians…the law. Rather lawyers becom politicans. People who have been trained to interpret and turn facts until they suit that person’s ideal desire. While some cases may have a more set outcome based on the facts, others are worked simple from two different points of view based around the same set of facts until one either plants doubt or instills confidence in order to bring about an outcome they desire. As much as people hate lawyers, I’d rather thin the herds of politicians. Mind you, my biggest issue with politicians is…us. Even a Con man has a hard time beating someone who is rational and observant, remember the saying, “If it’s too good to be true…”.

To the point then: The Hegelian Dialectic is the invention of artificial extremes (”thesis'’ and “antithesis'’) which superficially conflict with each other, and the synthesis from that conflict of a goal, which is made to appear to be the product of consensus. Or a shorter summary, is promoting two opposing forces with your end goal being what results from their struggle. Or for a better example….it’s modern politics. The names have changed but it’s the same principle. We used to focus on Republican and Democrat, now the shift is increasingly towards Conservative and Liberal. The thing is this…both are just opposing sides of the same arguments pushed to extremes. It becomes most clear when we talk about wedge issues. Issues that are used and thrown out to polarize various groups in effort to bring out as many voters as possible. The thing is the wedge issue isn’t the goal of the person who puts it into play. They have used a form of propaganda to energize a conflict…the fallout being a goal beyond the inital vote. I’ve thought about it more because it’s clear in recent events. 9/11 and the lead up to Iraq is perfectly explained in the above quote by Hermann Goering. However, it’s more prevelant in our politics. Two sides crashing against each other neither truly forwarding their cause. The thing is to see who profits. I see alot of debates over politics and policy. Debates that become heated and often seem to only be debates for the sake of the thrill. The back and forth has no ending. Thus one synthesis is stagnation. Meanwhile the world keeps turning. The debaters just anchor it they don’t determine the direction. Which is even more ironic. When you consider most wedge issues tehy rarely have an effect on one group. Pro Life vs. Pro Choice…if a woman is Pro Life what effect does legalized abortion have on her? If 50% of marriages end in divorce…does giving gays the right to marry really have a negative effect on marriage? Does teh effect change when you rename it something else? These two issues are actually pushed forth by one of the oldest wedge issues…religion. So the question becomes, with the back and forth who profits? Hell, just follow the money.

“Everybody need a pre-nup. People think you gotta be rich to get a pre-nup. You got twenty million and your wife wants ten, big deal, you ain’t starvin’! But if you got thirty thousand, and your wife wants fifteen, you might have to kill her!”

I do not like people. Well, I’ll revise that. On an individual basis people are ok. In a group I really begin to detest them. Such as:

People in crowded theatres
People at festivals
People at Malls
People at Shows
People on Public Transpo
People on the Internet (they are a special bunch)

In that last group I especially hate this lady. Who I hate even more are the people who feel sorry for her. I’ll post a video later, but I just want to share some thoughts.

A marriage is not a business deal (traditionally). So if someone is rich and you marry them, if you later divorce you don’t deserve to still be rich. Think of it from this angle. You marry someone with no money, divorce and a judge says…you should have less money. Better yet let’s go with the Chris Rock theory:

“Your honor, check this out. I’m accustomed to fuckin’ her four times a week. Now I feel I should be able to fuck her at least twice a week. I mean she can have the alimony, but I want some pussy payments.”

That probably wouldn’t play well in court, but you get my drift. Now, my bigger problem is this. You marry someone rich, get a prenup and then when the divorce comes along you want more. Check it out: unless you helped someone build a company or you picked half the numbers on the winning lottery ticket, you deserve nothing. Seeing as how you married someone after they did all the work. You didn’t do anything. You probably never cooked or cleaned. Hell, I bet neither of you made the sheets. This is what I figure. If in a divorce the ex-wife wants money and gets it this is what should happen. All the house servants and staff should file for a claim and get some money from her award.

“Your honor…she was a bitch, she never finished the food I slaved over AND I had to help her bloated ass zip up dresses. I just want my due.” Give the driver her car. Give the housekeeper the summer home. At least we can prove that they actually did something. These rich (especially second) wives usually do nothing. I could understand if there was a company at stake or some other business. When the issue is look in his wallet and give me some…get the hell out of here. That’s like adopting another child and giving them allowance for life. Hell if that’s the case we should sue our parents for not continuing with our allowance. Sounds dumb? Then you totally understand me. What really kills me is that usually these women are getting something…the thing is they want more. The only thing that bothers me more than this is when people die and leave all their money to a damn dog or something. Come the hell on. What’s worse is that this is 2008. So women like this don’t just demand more. They make videos and put up a website. Meanwhile some poor divorced mother of three whose situation is nothing like this woman’s feels empathy for her and defends her and sends a little money…to the woman who got the summer home and almost a million bucks.

I feel nothing for you. You know how many years it will take the average person to earn what you will get in the prenup? Mind you in one light I do feel this, just not hers. If most of the people I know had to live on a lot less then they had they would be on the street. Difference the people I know all work to earn their own money and will work for years before close to a million dollars passes through their hands. They’ll never have it in a lump sum though. So this lady should just take her $750,000 - have a coke and a smile and shut the fuck up.

If I don’t get a Sidecar soon I’m going to kirk out and beat a waitress to death with her serving tray. Twice in 4 days I’ve tried to get one and they both looked at me like was retarded. Look, I know you’re used to dumbasses ordering Fuzzy armpits or Sex in the Backseat or whatever stupid ass drink that Cindy and Todd have 5 of before they end up at an abortion clinic a few weeks later, but come the hell on. This shit has been around since World War 1. If you were at a high class establishment you would have to know how to make it…or at least know to take the order and then find out what it is. It’s a drink not a homemade bomb…I’m sure it’s not hard. Hell I could make one and I’ve never been to bartending school. Next thing you’ll be telling me you can’t make a Gin Martini…I’m sure if I asked for a Apple/Mango/Pinapple/Fruitsalad-tini you could bring me that shit. Additionally if I can tell you what’s in it and at what proportions why are you still looking at me like I just ordered grilled baby arms? This is the problem with being almost 30. Establishments fall all over themselves trying to get 18 - 25 people year old into their clubs and to buy their clothes. The only ads targeted to me are for cars (I’m going to kill the people that put the “black” car ads on BET - so what if I know where I come from I still don’t want a damn Ford!!!), home loans and phone service. Them cat’s don’t have the disposable income that I do!!!! Ya’ll better get your priorities straight. It was bad enough when I was young and asked for a shot of whatever and I’d get a plastic cup. It was bad enough when you wouldn’t have Guiness. It’s killing me that all these places have Sam Adams but only the plain lager. Now I can’t get a damn Sidecar. I swear that I will bring the Wrath of a medievel God down upon the head fo the next person who doesn’t act like they get tips for bringing drinks. Don’t ya’ll have one of those elementary school drink cards with pictures that show you how to make drinks.

Here you go everyone get your pen and paper ready:

Esquire Drink Book
1956
SIDECAR (1)
2/3 Brandy
1/3 Cointreau
Dash of lime juice
Shake with very fine ice; strain into frosty cocktail glass

SIDECAR (2)
(50 Million Frenchmen…)
1/3 lemon juice
1/3 Cointreau
1/3 cognac
Shake with cracked ice; strain

I’ll go with this one:

1 1/2 ounces Brandy (cognac)
1 ounce Cointreau
1/2 ounce lemon juice

I also had one that was an once vodka, an ounce Brandy, an ounce Cointreau and a dash of lemon juice.

“The Sidecar was developed during WWI, when a certain regular customer arrived at the Ritz on his motorcycle (replete with sidecar), and asked the bartender for a cocktail that would help take off the chill. The bartender was caught in a dilema, a drink to remove a chill would appropriately be brandy, but brandy was traditionally an after dinner drink, and his patron was wanting something before dinner. So he combined cognac, cointreau, and lemon juice to mix a cocktail whos focus was on the warming qualities of both the brandy, and the cointreau, while the lemon juice added enough of a tartness to make it appropriate as a pre-dinner cocktail. So a properly made sidecar should betray its roots as a drink that warms your palate if not your bones.”

The customer was an American Army Captain…can Cindy and Todd tell you who invented or first ordered the Flaming Dr. Pepper? An Incredible Hulk? A Sex on the Beach? A goddamned flying fruit fantasy-tini?!?!?!?! I think not. Either you guys get some class or I will climb behind the bar, make the drink myself and use my Zippo to burn the place to the ground.

So as usual when I surf the interwebs I have come across controversy…not really. Most internet controversy is never really controversial. It’s just a reimagining of Godwin’s Law:

“As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.”

This one involved Black Women and relationships. This topic always brings about chaos and thrusts the souls of those nearby into purgatory for however long they keep reading. I won’t go into what started…I don’t have to. Just say black women and marriage or relationships, discuss…you’ll probably end up with the same basic comments. Instead of rehashing I’d just like to build on something I’ve noticed. So here is my message to black women in general:

Who said you were a good woman? - That’s right. Mind you no one denies the existence of dead beat dads, lame brothers and so forth. It does bother me that I see large groups of women discussing them and wondering why they can’t find a good man. I heard that Micheal Baisden asked this question, but I don’t listen so I’m asking it myself. Who said you were a good woman? I mean if you use a class room analogy - there a some A students, some D students but the majority are B and C students. A students never have to complain about the bell curve, it’s the B, C and D students that it bothers. Elementary my dear Watson. If you take a random sampling of 50 black women…how often are all of them truly good women?

To put it another way…take an actual good women then count out 49 women she knows that are single…how many of them would she be willing to try and hook up with her brother (if we consider that he is actually a good man)? I’m pretty certain she’s going to whittle that number down a nice amount. She probably wouldn’t be willing to call all of them her friends. I’m pretty sure that there would be at least 15 out of the group that the sister in question would tell her brother he should avoid at all costs.

All of you are not angels and plenty of you suck. Those of you who may not suck should not let the ones who do slide.

You’re young and obviously not ready - What’s the deal with all the complaints I see from people younger then 25 about how there are no good men and they may never get married? The average age of a college graduate is about 21…probably older. So why the hell would your entire life be set less then 5 years after you graduate? Hell, some of you haven’t even been legally able to drink for longer then a year!!! You are not close to being an old cat lady. You are still, in fact, young…if you are not married by the time you are 24 it does not mean you’ll have to be artifically insemenated. Slow down. This also leads to my next topic:

Come to the Grey area there’s plenty of room - It’s fine to have standards. It’s ok to create lists of traits you would like to see in a mate. The problem is if your list is too specific and not meeting every quality means automatic exclusion from your dating pool. You are not going to find a deaf/mute with a 5 pound dick and a trust fund. You may find a spiritual, educated man with a career and a home…but he might not be 6′ 3″ and like dogs - get over it. Additionally stop putting things on the list that you don’t have. If you live with your mama you can’t demand a man who owns a home. If you don’t want someone who lives with their mama…why would someone who doesn’t want you? If you list starts with money, homes, cars or career…prepare to end up with an asshole who spends all his time away from home. Having priorities and standards is required…having specific physical traits, salary requirements and educational levels is pretty dumb. A college education does not ensure intelligence…if you went to college you should know this. Every professional person I know works for or with a very well educated idiot….all that school means is someone was able to remember and recall information that was given to them. There are people working at Starbucks that I trust more then some executive directors. I understand not wanting to be with a broke ass person…but really the more money someone makes the bigger the chance they are an asshole. Mostly because people like you held that trait in such high esteem that they n0w feel like they can get who and whatever they want…thanks.

100 ways to please/get/keep a man by…some lady - It’s a good thing that you are willing to take advice…really. But get some better sources.
Here is a list of people not to take advice from:

Your bitter ass friend who can never keep a man.
Your bitter ass friend who recently got divorced.
Most magazines.
Your friend that is the only one who doesn’t know her man is crap.
Unmarried single mothers with 6 kids and 7 baby daddies.
Single people who have had a total of 3 relationships…the first one during high school, the other 2 lasted a total of 2 years.
Dudes who are trying to sleep with you.
Your guy friends, who you’ve never met a girl they were dating (see above).
Your friend who gave up on even dating, much less having a relationship.

Good sources of advice:

People (men or women) who are happily married and don’t pretend their relationship is based on fairy dust and kittens.
Old married couples who are not crazy and have only thought about killing each other (they never actually tried).
People who admit to their own personal faults, have regrets and tell you what you should do instead of what the other person needs to do.
People who will point out the mistake your Significant other and you are making.
Guy friends who are not assholes and are commited to a woman (not just with, but actually commited).
Me (I keed, I keed)

He did it, He did it - Frankly, unless you have authority over someone blame is useless…you can’t make them do anything so it doesn’t matter. Time would be better spent focusing on ourselves and the choices we make. All of these issues are cyclical and rely on both sexes accepting behaviors from the other.

If every man got himself together, soon so would every woman because those men wouldn’t be trying to deal with trifling women.

If every woman got herself together, soon so would every man because those women wouldn’t be trying to deal with trifling men.

What we have is a situation with shared responsibility, you can never look at it from one side and assign blame to the other. All are accountable. Since I personally can’t change anyone all I can do is hold myself accountable for my actions. I suggest we all do the same.

Bonnie Tyler - I Need a Hero

I’ve heard several times in reference to Hillary Clinton, women state that they had a chance to help a woman become President in their lifetime. The more I’ve listened to people talk about her the more I think alot of people want to vote for her based on a few reasons.

1) Safety Net - People who assume a Hillary Administration will be just like a Bill Administration so she’s a safe bet.
2) They aren’t quite comfortable with Barack Obama.
3) They’re just racist…and don’t trust Republicans.
4) They just want to see a woman get in. (I’m sure there is a dude out there campaigning for Hillary and getting much ass from it - “Women are equal baby…let’s talk more at my place”.)

Frankly, right now I’m disgusted, not for some of the stories you’ve read over the weekend, but for a reason alot of women should be disgusted. I keep thinking of all the people who described her as a positve example of a strong intelligent woman. Someone little girls could look up to. Really…when we see her now is that what we see? I’m not even getting into what I feel are some dirty campaign issues…or her mismanaging of the campaign resulting in about $20 million in debt. I don’t mean her lies. I’m not referencing her statments about the qualifications of her and the Republican candidate at the expense of the Democratic front-runner. I’m not talking about her focusing on the Super-delegates, then after some wins and skewed math, going the opposite direction and saying they don’t have a right to go against the will of the people (even though the people seem to want Barack). I’m not talking about her agreeing with rules and disagreeing when she needs assistance. I’m not talking about her flailing her arms around like an octopus playing the drums and striking everyone in close range.

I have alot that I could cite…but what really bothers me is this:

At this moment she is the worst example for a mother to show her daughter…if she wants her to be strong and independent.

Let’s just look at some of the things that have shown this lately and I’ll translate for you.

This is from C.N.N.:
The first scenario is if Obama ignores Clinton and her supporters and makes the vice presidential offer to someone else.

The third scenario they envision would be trying to get both the candidates to sit down face-to-face and work out an agreement suitable to both parties. Some Clinton insiders say some points to consider would be how to help pay off the Clinton campaign debt — roughly $30 million — or whether he would offer support for a possible Clinton effort to become Senate majority leader.

1) He has to pay attention to her and validate her efforts…nevermind that she has been shitting on him because he “lacks experience”.

3) Get the fuck outta here! Is that like child support?!?! Who the hell helps the person who ran against them pay off camaign debts?!?! Especially when you consider that half of the debt is money the campaign owes her. So he’d basically being paying her for running against him? Imagine him or John Edwards saying something similar.

Next we have Bill’s claims like this:

“I can’t believe it. It is just frantic the way they are trying to push and pressure and bully all these superdelegates to come out,” Clinton said at a South Dakota campaign stop Sunday, in remarks first reported by ABC News.

Exsqueeze me? Baking powder? Wasn’t she the one saying before that the super delegates need to not feel pressure to vote the way their states vote? Wasn’t it her supporters sending letters to super delegates?

I couldn’t find a link for the last one, but the issue was if Obama picked Governor Kathleen Sebelius (who the democratic party loves) instead of Hillary it would be a slight to Clinton.

Get the hell out…that’s like a slighted ex-girlfriend who’s mad cause you never took her to that restaurant she wanted to go to…but now you’ll take your new girl? So now all her friends are going to shit on you and this new woman…cause she’s not Hillary.

None of these things indicate a strong independent woman. She comes across more as vengeful ex-girlfriend then someone who can stand on their own. She (and her supporters) have become the antithesis to what they initially intended to be. I won’t even get into the sexist claims. What matters to me is the vehicle they are using. Someone who has mismanaged their money, lashed out at their rival and favored the eventual rival, switched positions on how votes should be handled and now lays everything at the feet of sexisim and people being unfair….this should be the example for young girls? The basic tone of what I’m reading now is…if women’s groups and Hillary supporters are to assist Obama in the general election…he has to give Hillary something…really. What happened to what’s best for America? So out of spite you won’t support someone of the same party who’s views on policy are very close (as many have pointed out) and would subject America to at least 4 more years of what Hillary wanted to “save” us from? That’s not strength, that’s not independence…and it’s a very poor example of character.

“Nothing is worse than active ignorance.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

Yesterday I was to have a 5pm meeting with the Chairman of the Board (No Frank Sinatra…not at all), this meeting was based on him not having an idea about what I do. So he didn’t even get her until 5:30 which sucks for me cause I basically sat around waiting. Then for about an hour I tried to explain to him what I do and have done for the last 7 years. It doesn’t take me that long to explain it to clients. Didn’t take that long to explain it to a developmentally challenged person…and that’s not a joke. The worse part is, if it wasn’t for the new director I might have been here even longer.

I feel…alot of ways about this…consider I’ll be going into my 8th year in this position in August. I worked a short walk from here for a year before I got this job. So I’ve been working in this area for almost a decade. this organization is only 13 years old. Alot of the “residents” on the board haven’t lived here for 5 years. I’ve had clients basically grow up with me. I’ve seen dudes from High School to the Navy. I’ve seen clients become my co-worker and move on to another job. I have clients from Baltimore City Community College to the University of Hawaii. I’ve had clients get a role on the WIRE. I’ve had clients speak to the State Legislature. I’ve gone to conferences in the last few weeks and had a former client set up next to me representing another community agency. I’ve had clients listed in obituaries. I’ve had clients pulled out of the harbor. I’ve had clients with mental issues. I have clients working for the city. I have clients that can get you a burnout. I have clients that can rent you a car. I have clients that have children. I have clients that have lost children. I’m sure most people would feel a kinda way about having to explain what they do to a person who has some authority over them…despite how tenuous it may be. It’s even worse when you do something that your clients, their parents, families and even random strangers value…but the chairman of your board questions it’s validity. Get the hell out of here.

So I generally hate politics. Something I hate even more is when people don’t pay attention to what the hell is going on. So taxes went up here and everyone is bitching and complaining. It does suck, but it was going to happen. Now I’m not a fan of Martin O’Malley…in fact I’m most happy he became Gov. cause now he doesn’t have time to play at Artscape with his craptacular band. However, I have to step in on his behalf this time. Not really on his behalf, but on the side of the facts.

Did he raise taxes? Yes
Is he making us pay? Yes
Did he create the projected deficit? NO

This is my entire problem. People are either focused on the fact that he’s a Democrat and they are not or that the tax went from 5% to 6%. Check it out people, Ehrlich (remember he was the last governor) he brought up this projected deficit when he was still in office. That’s right. He put it out there and he probably has a hand in it…certainly more then O’Malley could. I mean dammit, O’Malley has been in office for a year. What money has he spent in that time? I know he didn’t go 14 billion over the budget that quick. Do your homework folks. This is the type of thinking that (and I don’t really care) will boot him out of office and stick us with some retard who just rides the wave of your ignorance in(this is what matters to me) .

Now the budget has come out and all of it is being viewed from the perspective of…”well he raised taxes so…” The dude came in and the deficit was in his office asking if he wanted some coffee. He did some things that I like as well. Education, when people put more money into education it always makes me happy. When the kids are as dumb as the adults things only go downhill. You know what I really like though? He’s putting millions into a reserve fund! Hmmm, came in with a deficit, did something to correct it and then started saving money. I need him to manage my funds. The thing is no one is seeing at that way all they know is: he raised taxes. I even heard one republican old lady say that he spent up all the money and that’s why he’s for slots now. I would like to hear about the magical third solution. If people don’t want slots (in their town) and they don’t want to pay more taxes; where does the money come from. Unless MD finds oil and starts selling it, we don’t have many options. Well, perhaps there are some, but I don’t know them offhand and neither do all the people complaing about taxes. They just don’t want to pay any more taxes…which I understand. You can’t however demand for improvements and not expect to have to sacrifice anything. Get the damned facts right though!!!! This is the type of thinking that elected Bush cause “he reads the bible”. People who firebomb abortion clinics do that too, I wouldn’t make them President. This country isn’t just screwed up because of politicians…it’s screwed up cause alot of you are morons and you don’t pay attention to what’s going on…with that in mind - I’ll be having poker games over the next few weekends feel free to come and play. Bring cash.

I’m trying to understand who leaves these long as comments on peoples blogs. I mean spam bots are one thing, but it’s like if Pat Robertson, Tony Robbins, and Michael Moore were combined, imbued with geek powers and spend their time leaving long ass comments in on folks blogs. Once I tried to read one, but I couldn’t even stay with it. It’s like evangelical conspiracy theory blog raiding. Ya’ll know what I’m talking about, I’ve seen some on some of your sites and for those who get spam blocked, you’ve seen them in moderation. These cats need to be beaten with a bag of nickels.
