Well It’s been a good week and we had a good Thanksgiving. Right now however I feel like I have to crap, burp, and my stomach generally feels funny. I hope I’m not getting sick. I hope it’s just because I’m tired and need sleep and tried to sleep on the floor last night with my daughter to “camp out” in a tent.
I also have had way too much caffeine. I had a Rockstar Fruit punch today along with about 3 Coke Zero’s. *eek*
I know if I have too much caffeine I get all agitated and it makes me feel funny. I am going to have to start lowering my caffeine intake and/or get off of it all together.
Anyway, whatever. If I get sick I get sick. We’ll see.

So here is only part of the reason why Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors should not get any bailout money at all. They fucked up and it’s not like they didn’t have time to realize they needed to change their ways.

So in a “tough” time when their companies are about to go bankrupt and lose 3 million jobs the CEO’s fly private jets to Washington to plea for bailout money? Seems a bit odd to me. Then again, maybe it should not given the fact that for at least a decade the big three have had time to change their ways and have not.
I used to only buy so called “American” cars. I however did a bit of research and found out that for the most part my Honda Accord is built in Ohio and has more “American” parts on it than a good amount of Ford, GM, or Chrysler products. Lots of so called “American” autos are made in Mexico and Canada. Heck even the new Pontiac G8 is made in Australia.
The unions are what fucked this entire thing up. I realize that way back in the day unions helped the worker. However now all they do is milk a company for lots of money for a job that has little skill. I cannot count on my company to have a retirement and pension for the rest of my life if I lose my job. I have to depend on myself and be smart and put money away and make my own “portfolio” so to speak. I should not have to pay for a shoddy vehicle that has had corners cut just so that they can still keep paying out 80% of an employees paycheck after they retire.
While some of the money may go back to Japan when I by a Honda, at least they put a lot of money back into the factories so they are always on the cutting edge of manufacturing. That’s more than I can say for the “Big Three”. Hyundai just put $1.1 BILLION into a manufacturing facility in Alabama to build their cars.
Gosh I could go on and on, but I just don’t have the want or time anymore. I’m tired of big companies and executives thinking that the government or taxpayers owe them something. The “big three” are about to fail and we should let them. This is survival of the fittest. Let them lie in the shitty bed they made.
These CEO’s should be forced to sell the private jets, and everything they have except for ONE $500,000 home and 2 cars. Also, the 2 cars should be from their own company and should be worth about 20,000 each. No expensive vehicles period. They should also not have a bonus, and should give back the amount they got the previous 2 years. How’s that?

This is just a post to get a bunch of shit off my chest. Fuck.
Ok, first off why in the hell do people rake their leaves into the fucking street? Most cities tell you to rake or leaf blow them onto the tree-lawn/easement so that the leaf trucks can suck up the leaves on certain days. For whatever reason certain lazy fuckers think it’s their job to rake these huge piles of leaves into the street. Since I have a friend that works for the city he has told me time and again that these tards that rake the leaves into the street cause a LOT of problems. The leaves get carried into the storm sewers during heavy rains and then the city has even more to suck leaves out of and clean.
On top of all that whenever you drive down a side street where all these fucktards have raked the leaves into the street, you have to drive through the leaf piles if there is an car coming the other way. I refuse to do this as their may be kids in those piles of leaves because that’s what kids do. Except, when I was a kid we jumped in piles of leaves that were on the tree-lawn/easement and not in the street.
Who the fuck knows. Nobody follows the rules anymore anyway. I’m figuring these morons don’t want their grass to get all yellow and dormant because the leaves set there for too long. Who cares? It’s almost winter.

I just want to say that I’m proud of our country and proud of Mr. Obama and his family and supporters. We all have changed history.
God Bless this country.
And yes…..I voted for Obama.
Obama is my homeboy!

I hope to God that Obama wins this election.
We need change bad. No more redneck white guys that are in the “good ole’ boys club”. An intelligent human being would be great for a change, regardless of color or gender.
Nobody can stand the Republican party anymore.
In fact, we should throw the two party system out the window and start over.
Enjoy….
