Merry Christmas, bee-yotches!!

Okay, I finally at least got one of the shots from my trip to New York City up. This one is a shot of a Christmas tree on Wall Street. I’m pretty sure that Trump got pissed because more people were crowding around this building than his. Trump is a big egomaniac. At any rate, I hope you guys have a Merry Christmas. That’s right. I said "Merry Christmas", not "Happy Holidays". Not I personally think or care if Christmas is superior to Hanukkah or Kwanza. I’m not going to change the greeting just to not offend anyone.

I went to the library yesterday. The copy of Ann Coulter’s How to Talk to A Liberal finally came in. I don’t know why I read this woman’s books. I bought a copy of Slander. Bleech. I’ve read Treason. I’ve read her columns, which is nothing more than masturbation material for the playbook conservative who merely wants his or her insipid world view reinforced without any logical basis. Then again, the phrase "logical conservative" is an oxymoron anyway. It’s people like her and Rush Limbaugh that is the cause of breakdown of intelligent political discourse in this country. Liberals sling smack as well, but I see it more as fighting back. Conservatives have had a strangle hold on the direction of political discourse for so long that it’s nauseating. Yet, Ann Coulter has the nerve to say that conservatives get no media coverage. Whatever. Still, it is wise to get all sides of the argument before you make a decision. What a concept, neo-cons! Would it hurt anyone, liberals or conservatives, to actually take each issue on a "case by case" basis and think through it and come to a decision instead of parroting the party line like the myrmidons that you are? My God! Ann needs to take a couple of lessons in constructing arguments from Neal Boortz or Michael Savage. Although I don’t agree with everything they say, they do have some rational arguments from time to time and can articulate them with some logic.

The Robert Blake trial is currently underway. Figure he’ll skate on this one? Let’s go through three other high profile cases in the Golden State’s past, shall we? We have four Los Angeles police officers beat an unarmed motorist on camera and did everything except tie him and hoist him by his belt and give sticks to blindfolded Hispanic children with promises of candy. The cops are acquitted. We have a former NFL football player who is accused of killing his baby’s mama and her friend, covered with more blood than the audience of a Friday the 13th film marathon. The jock is also acquitted. We have a man whose old lady and unborn child wind up dead. Without a single iota of forensic evidence and because he is banging some other broad on the side, he is found guilty. So I have no idea how this is going to go.

To my wife, my family, and my friends, I have just four words. Thank you for everything.
