Scumbag Ken Lay is Dead

Ken Lay is dead. May he burn in hell. Ken Lay died of a heart attack, probably because his lawyers sent him their bill. Ken Lay was the Enron corporate weasel who robbed not only his customers and colleagues but his own employees and friends. Ken Lay never spent a day in jail, thanks to the millions of dollars that he had stolen from others.

His lawyers got rich, and Ken Lay's family got to keep all the money he siphoned to them. The only people that got screwed were the thousands that trusted him and who believed that the U.S. Government would protect them from fraud.

Hurricane Hype Begins Now!

The Hurricane Season begins June 1, and the weather vultures have already begun hyping their non-stop 24 hour weather coverage. Don't get me wrong, hurricanes are very dangerous. But cynical opportunism is just as bad, and that is what has been going on in South Florida since Hurricane Andrew came along in 1992. Hurricane Andrew turned Bryan Norcross into a media superstar and millionaire because he stayed up the entire night of Hurricane Andrew broadcasting photos of homes being destroyed (thanks to the stringers that they had taking photos and risking their lives out in the hurricanes).

Because of the incredible celebrity (and riches) that Norcross got from exploiting Hurricane Andrew for all it was worth, a new breed of weather-person spawned in South Florida; The Hurricane Forecaster. These folks are weather-persons during most of the year, but during hurricane season they spend their time regularly interrupting television shows to let you know that there is a hurricane brewing near Chile, 2400 miles away. Then they let you know that in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes they will interrupt the show again to give you an update on the storm. This goes on and on from June until November, when the hurricane season is finally over.

Besides getting people constantly hyped up about every possible storm in the western hemisphere, these weather vultures spend a lot of their time endorsing hurricane preparedness. This means that supermarkets, lumber companies, electrical generator sellers, and air-conditioning repair companies generously sponsor these Hurricane Warning shows and hurricane preparedness "specials" so that the weather vultures can lead the public running to the stores to buy millions of dollars in hurricane "protection." When hurricane season begins, you can see the happiness and joy on the faces of weather-persons like Don Noe. Every time a storm is brewing somewhere, they interrupt programming to announce a hurricane warning, and you can see they are over-joyed at the prospect of another opportunity to become the next hurricane celebrity, like Bryan Norcross.

Does all this hurricane exploitation save any lives? Sure. There are probably some morons that would not figure out that a hurricane was coming unless they saw constant warnings and updates every ten minutes on every television station. For the rest of us, the hurricanes are an unavoidable force of nature that you can prepare for in a reasonable manner without any hysteria. Hopefully someday soon Bryan Norcross, Don Noe, and the rest of these hurricane vultures will retire (or go to prison--former hurricane expert Bill Kamal is doing five years for kiddie porn. Did his guilty conscience drive him to self-destruct?) and open the way for weather-persons that have some sense of ethics and journalistic integrity.

Thugs Gangstas Homies girls

Who are they, and why do they let themselves get used? Is it poverty, lack of education, low self esteem, low intelligence, peer pressure, unstable family environment?

J-Lo, or just another gangsta ho? Is this the fashion statement for low income Hispanic girls?

Pimp Daddy (or Vanilla Ice?) making the rounds to visit his homie girlz. Lots of dumb gangsta chics love to get into the tricked-out hunks of shit that pass for cool vehicles among thugs.

The thug life: tattoos, drugs, liquor, ugly friends, and either going to prison, or visiting friends in prison.

Some girls lacking in social skills are probably better off being in a gang, if they can find one that wants them.

Eva Rodriguez and Patricia Crespo, victims of a drive-by shooting. How many young girls have died as a result of gang violence?

Notice the dumb faces on most of the skags that are flashing gangsta signs. There are probably some that are right out of Special Ed.

You can bet these two gangsta skanks are probably working hard at Mickey-D's to support their homies.

The thug & gangsta life usually ends in prison, drug rehabilitation, and/or death. Most of the women of these gang criminals end up as unwed mommies with no child support.

Sideways cap kid killed

(story by Eric Kroger, UPI) By most accounts, Jamal Jefferson was a streetwise punk with a heart of gold. The soft-spoken frosh played junior-varsity basketball for Coral Gables High School. He was nominated for Athlete of the Year last year by the South Florida branch of the Crips. So why were his classmates wearing "Free Jamal" T-shirts last week?

The 15-year-old had just been arrested on campus during lunch for wearing his baseball cap sideways and refusing to turn it to the front. Jamal, who is black, believed that he was being singled out. Other white teens at the school were wearing their hats sideways. Jamal's mother criticized both police and school officials' handling of the incident.

Jamal was held in a Miami jail cell on suspicion of disorderly conduct, failure to obey a police officer, trespassing and interfering or disrupting an educational institution. School officials and police defended their actions. Coral Gables police Detective Slim Bradley said Officer Bela Lermoor knows the teen and didn't want to arrest him. "Normally Officer Lermoor avoids dealing with gang members," Bradley said. Officer Lermoor was worried that the situation could escalate when other students gathered around Jamal and began chanting "Stab the cop, shiv him, shank him!"

The confrontation began when Jamal was having lunch and security guards approached him about his hat. It is against school policy to wear hats sideways because it is a sign of disrespect for authority, but Jamal's mother, Loquaya Kenmore Franklin, said that the rule is only enforced against blacks. "The white boys can get away with anything."

According to the police report, Jamal pointed to several white students whose hats were on sideways, and said "Usually I don't have a problem these dumb white crackas, but I seen everbody else with their hats sidewsays. I is just fed up with being told to put mine straight."

When Jamal wouldn't do as the security guards and three assistant principals asked, the police officer told Jamal to straighten his hat, and he refused. Assistant Principal Leonard Grazer ordered Jamal to the school office, but the teen refused. Grazer then told Jamal that he was being suspended for insubordination and Jamal yelled and rushed Grazer with his home-made shank. According to the report, Jamal yelled that he was "killing his self a whitey." Officer Lermoor tasered Jamal when the youth lunged at Assistant Principal Grazer.

Jamal's mother, Loquaya Kenmore Franklin, admitted that Jamal's behavior was rebellious, but she denounced the school's reaction as "uncalled for." "He shouldn't have had to walk out of there in handcuffs in front of all his homies," Ms. Franklin said. "He should not have been put in a holding cell with adult prisoners. He was just a boy. The school killed my boy."

Shortly after Jamal's arrest, classmates staged a protest. One student, Rita Alonso, was suspended for 10 days for taking off her top and exposing herself in support of Jamal. "School officials did everything they were supposed to do," said Tim Guffmann, a spokesman for the Miami-Dade School District. Becky Quillian, a sophomore said, "Jamal was always nice to me during lunch-time. School security was just jealous because most of the girls here prefer the muscular black boys over the flabby, lazy fat white boys."

Jamal was placed in a holding cell with about fifty other prisoners. While in the holding cell, Jamal reportedly mouthed off to a few members of the Latin Kings. Corrections officers did not hear any noise or any commotion. However, when the next shift did a head count, they discovered Jamal's body in the showers. He had been stabbed numerous times. An autopsy report is pending. At this time, one youth, Ramon Velez, is being held as a suspect.

Geico Gecko

There is something intrinsically wrong with so many corporations stealing the beauty, creations, and images of nature in order to promote their own greedy goals. Geico is one of the best examples of this. They spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year so that their Gecko commercials can be on every television channel all the time. They have perverted the image of the Gecko so that now many people have come to associate a Gecko with some cynical automobile insurance company.

Sometimes Geico has aired a creative Gecko commercial, but most of the time, the commercials are either insipid, stupid, or sub-moronic. Thanks to Geico's billions, the cgi graphics have been steadily improving. Perhaps Geico plans on opening a Gecko theme park someday? Can the Gecko become more popular than Mickey Mouse?

Apparently Geico has trademarked the Gecko name, and it is on some kind of corporate mission to force all others to stop using the image of the Gecko for any reason. Only Geico can use a Gecko, and that is just wrong. It like like McDonald's restaurants which have prohibited anyone whose real name is McDonald from using his or her real name as part of the name of any business.

In effect, McDonald's owns the McDonald name and nobody else can use it. Now Geico is doing the same thing to the Gecko. Hopefully they won't manage to gain actual ownership of the species too! Nature being patented, trademarked, bought, and sold thanks to the arrogance of the legal system is wrong on so many levels. Geckos are beautiful creatures of nature, they were not meant to be owned by any sleazy corporation.

Gangsta Homies Sagging pants homosexuality?

Every time I see one of those foul-mouthed gangsta homie pussies talking trash and walking around with their underwear sticking out of their sagging pants, I don't get upset because I realize that sooner or later they will end up in prison, playing the prison-bitch game with their homies.

Why aren't all gang members in prison? Why are the illegal aliens who are gang members being deported instead of being kept in a maximum security prison? They are just being sent back to their native countries where they are creating branches of their gangs in their home towns. Gang members need to be executed or kept in prison for life. Anyone with a gang logo tattooed on their body or flashing gang signs should be sent to prison. The human garbage that participates in the gangsta life is just polluting, corrupting, and destroying the rest of the Latinos and minorities who have honest goals and a hard-working attitude.

I was wondering what the origins of "sagging" were, and was surprised to find out that while prison homosexuality had something to do with it, there were other factors involved: [From Snopes.com] "We were talking about how the kids are wearing the pants way down on their body with the crotch at their knees. One guy said he was told that this started in prison with the gay prisoner doing that to show that they are ready for a sexual relationship with whoever is interested."

"A friend told me recently that the "gang" style of baggy pants showing your underwear (called "jailin") was originally a prison code signifying that the man wearing them was willing to be, er, the "girlfriend" of some other man/men."

Sagging pants worn this way are kept up by constant hitching, an act that becomes an integral part of the walking style of the wearer. While sagging did gain its start in the U.S. prison system, it was not a clothes-wearing style authored by imprisoned homosexuals intent upon advertising their interest in casual flings.

Sagging pants became the behind-the-bars thing thanks to ill-fitting prison-issue garb: some of those incarcerated were provided with clothing a few sizes too large. That oversizing, coupled with the lack of belts in the big house, led to a great number of jailbirds whose pants were falling off their arses. (Belts are not permitted in most correctional facilities because all too often the lifeless bodies of their inmate owners have been found hanging from them.)

The most intriguing aspect of the "trolling for gay sex" rumor lies not in its veracity, but in its acceptance as gospel by those who encounter it and who are then moved to pass it along to others. While the combination of two facts (homosexuality in prison and falling-down pants worn by inmates) accounts for the origin of the belief that links the one to the other, its spread is attributable to the prevailing dislike of the fashion. But of course, when you realize that gangstas are all about the prison culture, you have to consider that most of those trashy punks with their sagging pants have been pulling a train in prison (or juvenile hall) at one time or another. There is alot of rampant homosexuality among those prison cultures.

Conservative Patriots support high gas prices

The patriots of Conservatism see nothing wrong with the Oil Companies here in America manipulating Gas prices and reaping $35Billion in profits every quarter.

Republican Gas Prices

Republicans seem to have only one agenda: Their Rich Supporters.

The true-believer, working-class Republican gets a "tax-break" worth about $300. and then pays a few extra thousand dollars a year in higher gasoline prices so that the Bush Family Oil Stocks can keep tripling in value.

For anyone that owns Oil stocks, the Iraq War has been like a blessing from Heaven. God loves rich Republicans.
