NY police kill man on wedding day

NY police kill man on wedding day

No gun was found in the car which was hit by 21 bullets

An unarmed man has been shot dead by police in New York City hours before he was to have been married, prompting fury over the officers' actions.

Two of the man's friends were hurt in the shooting, which occurred outside a strip club where they had been celebrating before the wedding.

Police fired 50 bullets at a car carrying the men after it reportedly struck an unmarked police vehicle.

New York's mayor says police had acted fearing an armed "altercation".

"Officers on the scene had reason to believe that an altercation involving a firearm was about to happen and were trying to stop it," Michael Bloomberg said.

The club was under surveillance because of its long history of weapons complaints, drug-dealing and prostitution, New York's Police Chief Raymond Kelly said.

"Gunshots all over the place. This is outrageous at best," he said.

He also criticised the police for handcuffing the two men receiving emergency care for their injuries in hospital.

Denise Ford, the mother of one of the men hurt in the shooting, is quoted as saying her son was shot in the hand, right leg and buttocks.

"I think this is messed-up on the cops' behalf," Ms Ford told New York newspaper Newsday.

"They're too hotheaded and something needs to be done about it."

Police suspicions

A total of 21 bullets hit the car the men were in as they left the strip club, police said.

The driver, Sean Bell, was to be married later on Saturday. He was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital.

One of his passengers, Joseph Guzman was hit by at least 11 bullets and is in a critical condition in hospital.

The other passenger, Trent Benefield, was hit three times and is in a stable condition.

Police Chief Kelly said the three men were also being watched.

He said an undercover officer at the club had reported that the men were in a group that was involved in a dispute with another person outside the club.

The officer had reportedly called his colleagues saying he feared a gun would be produced.

As the men left the scene, a car they were driving struck an undercover officer on the shin.

It also hit an unmarked police vehicle, which is when five of the seven police officers on the scene opened fire, Mr Kelly said.

No weapons were found on the three men or in their car. An investigation is under way.

In 1999, New York police fired 41 bullets at unarmed Amadou Diallo, killing him. The four officers involved were acquitted of all charges.

How did this story make you feel?

Whos at fault?

Who do you blame?

This is something I left out of the story "Civil rights activist Al Sharpton has demanded the police explain its actions."

Al Sharpton said the police must explain its actions

BOYCOTT Amazon

I'm so pissed, I'm yelling at the PC. Amazon just lost a loyal customer - me, for pulling their "1000 xbox 360s for $100" stunt. The way they handled it was equivalent to having people line up in front of the store, and not issuing any kind of wristband, coupon, tag, whatever - and then having everyone storm the front doors with no regard for anyone else. A lottery for the 1000 xbox systems would have made more sense. Does anyone really believe Amazon couldn't foresee that millions of people would hit their servers at once, and crash them?
Screw Amazon - I'm cancelling my account with them right now!
Besides, their prices haven't been competitive in months on a bunch of items, and I get better service from local merchants and Costco anyway.

Au revoir, bitches!

AT&T sucks - you pay online, they cancel your paper statements

Sometimes, being nice doesn't work out in your favor. Case in point: a few months ago, I thought I'd start paying my SBC/AT&T bill online. Saves me a stamp and a check, gets there quicker, and the evil phone company gets to save a few pennies. What do I get as a thanks? They stop sending my paper bills. If that wasn't bad enough, there's no option online to reinstate mail delivery of paper bills - but plenty of options to stop delivery.

1. Every time I sign on to the online account manager, I get the following offer:

And every time I see it, I click on "No thanks, continue to AT&T Account Manager".

2. Then, in the account manager, the Quick Links menu on the left side:















Notice how the link does not say "Start/Stop Your Paper Bill" - just "Stop".

3. The "Delivery Method" page, in "My Bill" section, shows the following:















Again, notice how there's only one link - to "Stop your paper bills", but no link to Start.

4. And finally, I present to you "My Profile" page:













If you look carefully at the lower right corner, you'll notice that the "Bill Delivery Method" has no link whatsoever, even though the section below (Payment Preferences) has two "Edit" links.

To resolve this, I called AT&T. Their response: you can either have paper billing, or e-bill, but not both. Their attitude is if you want to pay online, you can't get paper bills, and vice versa.
In response, I fired off the below missive to their customer service:

Ever since I chose to help you reduce your costs, by switching to online bill payment, I have not received a single paper bill. Today, I called to inquire about reinstating my paper bills, and the customer service agent I spoke to, while very apologetic and helpful, could only recommend turning off e-bill in order to resume receiving paper bills. I find it ludicrous that I cannot get both a paper statement AND pay my bill online. However, according to the CSA and his manager, that's precisely how it works - even though I NEVER agreed to it. In addition, the website has NO WAY of resuming paper bills - but at least 3 "opportunities" to stop the paper bills. To conclude, please reinstate the mailed delivery of paper statements, allow me to continue paying my bills online, and fix the website so that I can personally choose whether I do or don't want to receive your paper statements. I'm also filing a complaint with CPUC because this is clearly abusive behavior on your part.

Then, as promised, I filed the following complaint with the CPUC:

Earlier this year, I chose to pay my phone bill using then-SBC's online payment service, through the sbc.com website. After setting up the account for online payment, each and every time I logged on to pay my bill, I was asked to choose to stop my mailed paper statements. Each and every time, I selected "No, Continue to Online Billing", and paid my bill online. However, I also noticed that I have not received a paper bill/statement in at least the last 3 months - even though I NEVER asked to stop getting paper statements, and ALWAYS chose not to discontinue when asked. I called ATT (the new owner of SBC), at 800-310-2355, and their response is that I cannot have concurrent paper statements AND online bill payment, which strikes me as ludicrous and as a possible violation of some laws. On the bill payment website, in "My Profile" section, there's a sub-section called "Bill Delivery Method", to modify bill delivery. However, that section does not have an option to change anything - it just says "Stop/start your paper bills", with no link to actually change anything. Then, there's the "My Bill" section, which has a "Delivery Method" sub-section. That page only has a link to "Stop my paper bills", and there are no other options. Please take a look into this matter, and review this unethical behavior. I understand that stopping paper bill is somewhat helpful for the environment, but if AT&T was really concerned about the environment, they would have sent out statements on recycled paper. Instead, this is a cost issue - AT&T doesn't want to pay for sending out statements, so as soon as someone signs up for online bill pay, their paper statement gets taken away - and the customer service representatives cannot do anything about it, because the management refuses to.

Now, let's see if they do anything about it. I wouldn't hold my breath, though.

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% ! in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S
T U V W X Y Z

are represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98% ! !

and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass-kiss ing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top!

Beware of CompUSA OVERCHARGING!

I just sent the letter below to Bill Lockyer, the California Attorney General, and suggest you take a close look at your credit card statements after purchasing anything from CompUSA.

I ordered two items, priced at $9.58 and $34.99 from this company's website on 9/21/2006. The total as quoted was $53.26. The $9.58 item was shipped on 9/25/06, but a $10 charge for "ewaste fee-ca large screen-a91" was added on. This fee is charged for items that contain screens - such as TVs, monitors, dvd players, etc. The item I purchased was a wireless computer PCI card with an antenna, and there's not a single screen anywhere on the product. The other item was shipped and charged properly the next day. This is either a case of bait and switch (the environmental fee was not listed, and should not apply), or CompUSA is blatantly charging customers additional fees without warning. I only found out by looking at my monthly charges. Please prosecute this company to the full extent the law allows.

I ordered a MIMO wireless pci adapter for $9.58, and a CD-RW drive, both CompUSA brand items, as I needed inexpensive parts. When the WiFi card arrived, the packing list listed the adapter, as well as a $10.00 large-screen E-waste fee. The e-waste fee is a recently-enacted California fee charged to buyers of TVs, monitors, or anything else with a screen - however, this is a wi-fi card. The online order status to this day lists nothing about a fee, but sure enough my credit card was charged for an extra $10.00. I'm about to dispute the charges with my credit card, but here's my letter to CompUSA:

Please take a look at order #WBxxxxx and call me immediately! Even though you list $53.26 as the order total, the two items on the order were shipped separately, and according to order #RPxxxx, invoice #xxxxx, I was charged an additional $10 for product #317932, "ewaste fee-ca large screen-a91", even though the product in question (#339027, CUSA WRLS MIMO PCI ADAPTER-N09) contains no screens whatsoever, and does not fall under the waste fee category. Besides, the fee, if applicable, should have been listed on the item webpage. I submitted the following complaint to the California Attorney General:
I ordered two items, priced at $9.58 and $34.99 from this company\'s website on 9/21/2006. The total as quoted was $53.26.

AEGIS Wireless Client

AEGIS SecureConnection Wireless Client From MeetingHouse (Which has just been purchased by no-other then CISCO Systems)

Wonderful little client which, unlike the Intel client, will function with absolutely any piece of hardware that you have installed.
AEGIS does not run as a piece of software, but as a service...
Which means that it beings loading even before you reach the Windows login screen.
AEGIS supports pretty much anything you can through at it in regards to security... WEP, WPA 1&2 Enterprise and Personal also including PEAP, LEAP, FAST, and other authentication methods.

One of the best wireless clients available out there.

However be careful, if you are using AEGIS and run into a small problem that has you rapidly and repeatedly connecting and disconnecting from your wireless host, and you have tried absolutely everything you can think of to resolve this agitating issue, well don’t blame AEGIS just yet. It is by no means the fault of AEGIS, it is actually one of Microsoft’s new security patches. Yes, once again Microsoft creates more problems then they resolve. There is no known anti-patch out there just yet, however I know firsthand that Microsoft has already resolved this specific issue and does have a patch ready, but isn’t releasing it to the public for reason yet undetermined. However, if you are relentless, there is a way to acquire the anti-patch, contact Microsoft and bitch and mown until they give you what you want… Keep in mind, in order to contact Microsoft and demand anything you would first have to have a legitimate copy of Windows; otherwise it would be a really interesting conversation.

With that said I just ruled out 90% of the individuals reading this Blog…

Oh, one more thing, AEGIS isn’t free like Windows…

So - guess whose "celebrities at Banksy show" sighting got posted to Defamer?
That's right - both headline and article, baby! The damn Treo does come in handy once in a while. Check out christina, mingling with the hoi polloi:


For those too lazy to click through, here's the Defamer post:

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Celebrities Laugh Knowingly At Ironic Portraits Of Other Celebrities At Banksy Exhibit

Banksy, Banksy, Banksy. We submitted, and checked out the show on Sunday, along with 25,000 others willing to weather the punishing sun in the easy-to-digest hipster-art equivalent of a Russian bread line. Inside, we were pleasantly surprised--aroused even--by the candy-colored eye-crack on display. (Watching a prank on YouTube just doesn't have the same effect as seeing actual, giant cockroaches shit all over the "Paris" CD cover.) And while we were secretly disappointed there was no gift store where we could pick up a "smooching Bobbies" hoodie on the way out, we weren't left completely souvenir-less, as we return over and over to your celebrity PrivacyWatch submissions to relive the happy memories of our day covered in sweat and jockeying for sight lines at the most overly publicized unpublicized event of the season.

Had a triple sighting while at the super hip Banksy show on Sunday. When I was entering saw Jason Lee holding young Pilot Inspektor(work out, kid. One day you'll be in a bunch of fights). Then I see none other than Sacha Baron Cohen. Wicked. He politely refused to take a picture with a couple of fans. He did however offer to take a picture of them. Seemed very nice and spoke to everyone that approached. Then, I pass John Taylor of Duran Duran. He counts? There were a few other minor celebs that I haven't yet taken the time to learn their names.

saw beck in a booth and 'joan of arcadia' amber tamblyn and her dad russ tamblyn walking around at the bansky show on Sunday. it was really really hot in there.

As I walked into the Banky show, Giovanni Ribisi was walking out--short hair, lean and muscular and tan. Gotta admit, Ribisi looked great. I thought I'd spot more famous faces, but I didn't.

Just left the banksy warehouse show. In attendance: christina aguilera, mila kunis and macaulay culkin, and zooey deschanel. Xtina looking at banksy's britney painting: 'well it does look like her...'

This is how it was done way back in the day...

The Evolution of a Terminator
The car is a 1960 Cadillac Hearse. After finding the car in a field near Dallas, Wayne Harris, an electrical engineer for Orion Industries, managed to purchase it for $850. Since then, he has invested another $50,000 to $60,000 in restoring and rebuilding the Terminator. There were innumerable hours involved in restoring the car, but Harris said the result has been well worth all of the effort.

How to Please Your I.T. Department

1. When you call us to have your computer moved, be sure to leave it buried under half a ton of postcards, baby pictures, stuffed animals, dried flowers, bowling trophies and children's art. We don't have a life, and we find it deeply moving to catch a fleeting glimpse of yours.
2. Don't write anything down. Ever. We can play back the error messages from here.
3. When an I.T. person says he's coming right over, go for coffee. That way you won't be there when we need your password. It's nothing for us to remember 700 screen saver passwords.
4. When you call the help desk, state what you want, not what's keeping you from getting it. We don't need to know that you can't get into your mail because your computer won't power on at all.
5. When I.T. support sends you an E-Mail with high importance, delete it at once. We're just testing.
6. When an I.T. person is eating lunch at his desk, walk right in and spill your guts right out. We exist only to serve.
7. Send urgent email all in uppercase. The mail server picks it up and flags it as a rush delivery.
8. When the photocopier doesn't work, call computer support. There's electronics in it.
9. When something's wrong with your home PC, dump it on an I.T. person's chair with no name, no phone number and no description of the problem. We love a puzzle.
10. When an I.T. person tells you that computer screens don't have cartridges in them, argue. We love a good argument.
11. When an I.T. person tells you that he'll be there shortly, reply in a scathing tone of voice: "And just how many weeks do you mean by shortly?" That motivates us.
12. When the printer won't print, re-send the job at least 20 times. Print jobs frequently get sucked into black holes.
13. When the printer still won't print after 20 tries, send the job to all 68 printers in the company. One of them is bound to work.
14. Don't learn the proper term for anything technical. We know exactly what you mean by "My thingy blew up".
15. Don't use on-line help. On-line help is for wimps.

Yelp - a great idea, or yet another ... ?

I'm going to have to disagree with my co-editor Jay on the last post regarding Yelp.com. While it's a somewhat new twist, combining the review system of citysearch with the Web 2.0 social networking features of MySpace, my prediction is that Yelp will never be the juggernaut MySpace has become. Why?

1. One needs to register to belong, and this adds yet another thing to check to most surfer's portfolios
2. It's purpose is too specific
3. There are just too many alternative websites, both for entertainment reviews and social networking, that have already achieved critical mass.

The best-case scenario for Yelp, in my opinion, is that a bigger general-purpose social networking site will buy the company, and roll the reviews into its own database. Yelp will not achieve critical mass on its own. Even if early adopters flock to it, it will eventually languish when no new content is being added, and will plateau.

Here are my stream-of-consciousness notes on the subject, before I wrote the coherent summary above:

• Yelp is an online database of user-published reviews - and they can avoid having to pay for well-researched content.
  
• It has some web 2.0 features, such as auto-mapping, and nearest business map, as well as messaging, but it's really a re-hash of functions other sites provide as well.
  
• From MySpace, they stole profiles and messaging - which was stolen from Friendster, SixDegrees, etc. in the first place.
  
• From CitySearch, Zagat, and DigitalCity they stole the idea of entertainment service reviews. At least those services have critics publish a review, with user reviews underneath. With Yelp, you lose the "expert's" opinion (and I use the term "expert" VERY loosely).
  
• Yelp vs. dodgeball - dodgeball has profiles, reviews - pretty generic stuff. However, dodgeball's strength - mobile presence awareness - is missing from Yelp. This is what got me started writing the rebuttal to Jay's post. I would toss out the dodgeball comparison altogether.
  
• Yelp's not really a blog (a misused word if I ever saw one). In their own words, it's "a perfect place to collect and archive all your reviews -— sort of like your own personal yellow pages."

Yelp!

Torrent Search Sites

• Torrent Scan
  
• Great site for searching multiple Bit-Torrent sites, without having to leave this one. Very simple & very nice. Look out for spyware, however.
  
• The Pirate Bay
  
• The torrent site infamous for inciting Hollywood's wrath, this site recently had to move servers after Swedish police illegaly raided its host, and stole its servers
• ISO Hunt
  
• This site lets you search for movies, music, and software. More selection than the pirate bay, but you need to look out for spyware in many of their torrents
• Torrents.ru
  
• Use this site if you are interested in russian movies, music, and tv.
  

RIAA sues Youtube users

Hahahahahaha!!!

It seems our friends over at the RIAA just cannot get enough. The latest BS to emerge from there are cease-and-desist letters to Youtube users who have dared to put up videos of things such as themselves dancing to music they haven’t licensed.

Clearly an insanity plea no longer covers the RIAA’s stupidity. From trying to orchestrate illegal takedowns in other countries a la The Pirate Bay to sending cease-and-desist letters to some poor user who has just recorded himself doing silly things to a song no one will even remember a week later. Youtube is all about expressing yourself in your own little corner on the net. Guess with Big Brother watching, soon even putting out harmless videos will become illegal.

Intrest Rate & Population Rate Formula

Intrest Rate Not Compounded
A = P (1 + r * t)
[P] = initial investment --- [r] = intrest rate --- [t] = number of years
A = 200 ( 1 + 0.06 * 3 )
A = 200 ( 1.18 )
A = $236

Compound Yearly
A = P ( 1 + r ) ^t
[P] = initial investment --- [r] = intrest rate --- [t] = number of years
A = 200 ( 1 + 0.06 )^3
A = 200 ( 1.06 )^3
A = $238.20

Compound Daily or Monthly or Quarterly
A = P ( 1 + r/n )^n*t
[P] = initial investment --- [r] = intrest rate --- [n] = compounds per year

May 1st "SHUT UP!"

-I AM IN LOS ANGELES CALIF.

Did anyone else notice how quiet the streets are and that there is no traffic on the freeways?
Fuck I wish the Mexicans would strike everyday!!!

Get them the fuck out of the country all together. If they’re so unhappy, maybe they should go back to there own country. (the ones that are not citizens)
They should be striking to say THANK YOU!!!! to AMERICA because no other country in the world would let them get away with, what America lets them get away with.

Mexico kicks people out of Mexico all the time for not having citizenship, so why should America be any different???

YEAS WE ARE A COUNTRY OF IMMIGRANTS "LEGAL IMMIGRANTS" Try to understand the difference.

Illegal immigrants make life worse for everyone. They drive with no driver licenses and no insurance. If they hit you (car accident) they run. My insurance goes up because of them; I have to buy uninsured motorists because of them.

They don't have health insurance they have VERY LARGE FAMILIES. They continue to pop out children as though we where a third-world-country. They have no means to take care of them, they don't take care of them like parents should, there children are loud, obnoxious, they are rude, and they ARE IGNORANT!!! (some not all) But when you have 4 to 6 kids, and your not even able to take care of 2, then what do you expect when everything goes to shit. They can't afford health insurance, they don't practice preventive health care, they don't eat right, they become fat, and sick and then want to be treated at our hospitals and have the taxpayers pay for it. AND YES "OUR" HOSPITALS IT’S OUR COUNTRY AND IT’S OUR HOSPITALS!

IF YOU SAY YOU TOO PAY TAXES- well then go back to your country and pay taxes there!!!! and see how much/how far that gets you. See how much health care and how good of health care you can get in Mexico!!! "You can't get shit there" if you disagree, then GO BACK!!!

You claim to do jobs that no one else wants to do, and you claim that America would fall apart if you all left. Well today you did just that, you left, and guess what, we are still here!!! So why don’t you leave permanently!!! Please!

Democracy is a wonderful thing. If you think that you do jobs that no one else wants to do, then you are dead wrong. QUIT and watch,. Democracy fills voids and we will be able to fill you and your positions too. SO LEAVE!!! And don’t worry about us!!!

IF YOU LIKE MEXICO, GO BACK, IF YOU LIKE AMERICA, THEN SHUT UP!
Half of you aren't citizens, who-cares what the fuck you think anyway? (You can't VOTE! anyways)

How your Bank Fucks You!

To fallow the lesson on interest rate this will now make a little more sense.
Your savings account, if you’re lucky, pays you 4.0% interest rate on your savings.
4.0% IS A REALLY HIGH RATE

FYI
ING Direct pays about 4.0%
WAMU pays about 0.035%

Credit Card
Your credit card charges you at the lowest regular APR about 8.77% IF YOU ARE LUCK
Usually its more like 13.99% to 19.00% or even as high as 23.00%

Early adopter? Here are some of my favorite social networking apps

These are some of my favorite Web 2.0 sites, ones that I use and am a member of:

1. TheThingsIWant.com - keep track of things you want to buy, or get as gifts.
2. dodgeball - let your whole circle of friends know where you are, with just an sms
3. bloglines.com - my only regret about RSS feeds is that they are a recent phenomenon. Using software RSS readers is ok if you only have one PC - but I read my blogs at work, then in the living room, then in the home office - so syncronicity is nice. With bloglines, it knows what I've read, and what I haven't, so I am not wasting time scrolling through old posts. It's definitely nice to have control over what I read.
4. del.icio.us - keep track, tag, and share your favorite sites
5. flickr.com - now owned by Yahoo!, an excellent photo tagging and sharing site.
6. Social Voicemail - this !-happy website lets you set up an account where you call one number, leave one message, and all of your friends get it. Cheaper, faster, and easier than text messages, online bulletins, or calling everyone. Early Adopter Signup is limited to 50,000 users, and if you make it, it's free to sign up, and you get free service for life.

Sites I don't participate in:

• MySpace - I'm no longer a horny 19-year old who forgot how to use a phone
• Facebook - no longer in school

What got this post started was the news that socialvoicemail.com went live today, and is offering free accounts to the first 50,000 people. The rest of it isn't active, and could be a massive e-mail-collecting fraud, but I'll reserve judgment for later.
Also of note: IHateDRM, a website dedicated to one of my favorite pet peeves - Digital Rights Management, which takes away our right to enjoy our entertainment wherever we want it. Here's an example: most people buy a CD for $15. If you want it in MP3, and don't know how to rip, it's 99c per track. Then, if you want a ringtone, it's $1.99 for low-quality 30-second snippet of that same song. If the CD is DRM-protected, the DMCA makes it illegal to break that protection - even though fair use laws state that you can take a CD that you bought, and copy it for your own personal use. Another example is that DVDs which you buy in the US will not play in the rest of the world due to region coding (US is region 1, UK is region 2, etc.). So, if you travel overseas, don't bring your DVDs - unless you bring along your own DVD player. Ironically, in most other countries, multi-region DVD players are more prevalent than region-locked players - who in their right mind would buy a unit that only plays back that country's DVDs? I'll tell you who - the US. Good luck finding multi-region players at your local Worst Buy, Fried Circuit City, CompBadForUSA, etc. So switch to divx players, burn your own movies, get educated, and vote for politicians who aren't fooled by the lies the industry tells them.

I Found A New Job

I found this great position in the IT industry

The position pays $12 bucks an hour
They want a person part time
And its a 38.9 mile commute from where I live

Lets do the Math!!!

Part time means half as long as a regular day;
so its 8 divided by 2 = 4 hours per day. (so far with me???)
At the rate of $12 * 4 hours per day = $48 dollars per day
(not that bad for part time BS job)

Lets see:
Subtract 25% for taxes, YOU HAVE TO PAY UNCLE SAM TO SUPPORT THE WAR OTHER WISE YOUR A TERRORIST.

Mind you I really don't get didly for my 25%, its not like I get healthcare for it, and its not like this country is safe, nor do I get any privacy while I’m on my phone.

25%Tax of $48 is = $12 (that’s a quarter of what I make!!!!!!)

Oh and thanks to Uncle Sam I'm now paying $3.00 per gallon of gas.

In addition my American Car Get roughly 10MPG (miles per gallon)
[And yes its American; FORD = Fucker Only Roles Down-Hill, “FIRST ON RACE DAY” my Ass!]

At 10 MPG that means I waste 4 Gallons of gas getting to work and another 4 gallons getting home
so that’s 4 + 4 = 8 multiplied by $3.00 per gallon of gas = $24

That’s $24 bucks a day given to those DAM Saudis!!! Those Airplane Crashing Freaks

So now lets do our formula:

$48 per day - $25% Tax($12) - $24 on Gas = Gives us a grand total of $12 Per Day

Well Holly-Fucking-Shit no fucking wonder all the jobs are moving to India.
I have to spend two hours in traffic and work my ass off for $12 hours per day.

Dam it, that’s not even enough to buy rice and beans at Gelson’s to feed my “familia”

Fuck this shit.

First Things First

First Things First He Didn't Die!

I guess Dickster (chaney) is as good of a shot as he is a vice president!

Poor Poor Harry

So which one of these fine outfits was
Harry Whittington wearing when Krazy Old Dick Shot him?













Poor Harry never head a chance












I wonder what the Wal-Mart configuration looks like








Harry Ahmed Sha-Whittington
"Alalalalalalahala!"

Old Blind Dickster!

Call me “Crazy” but when I heard that old Dicky shot someone, I said “the guy is good as dead”. To my surprise the next day I heard on the news that the wounds were only superficial, and were only to his face. The first thing I thought, “This can’t be, I can’t be wrong, I’m never wrong!”
Well what a shocker, it seems now that a part of the buckshot has reached the poor mans heart and caused a heart attack.
I hate to say this, but this guy will not survive! There is a reason he got shot and its not because old Dicky is blind and didn’t see the guy in his ORANGE hunting vest! Oh and there really is a reason why they kept it under the hat for what 24, 72 hours?
This is bullshit… I hate this stupid administration, everything they stand for they have done the opposite, Republicans were supposed to be for a smaller government, instead its bigger then it has ever been, we now have more agency then ever before. Republicans are supposed to spend less and save more instead today we have the biggest deficit that the United States has ever had, we have more of a deficit then there are stars in the universe, and that’s a fact!!!

Oh, watch I’m probably going to be investigated because of this bullshit blog. Watch US is slowly turning into Communist China.

I say FUCK YOU, and guess what I’m not the only one, not by a FUCKING long shot!

A Woman is Like a Gas Tank

Some are large, and can retain up to 17.5 gallons at anyone time.

Others are whores, you constantly find yourself pumping and ramming them with the nozzle, its like the can’t get enough of it.

Others are gold-diggers, you keep putting money into them and they never seem to work.

Others are petite, economical, and all around great, but you would never let your friends see you behind the wheel of it.

Some you’ve been with since high school, you know them inside and out; They whine a lot and you know you argue all the time, but you just can’t get rid of them.

Others are handy-downs from friends; ones they have used and abused and now pass it of to you to practice on.

Some like it rough and beg to be floored and mistreated, while others stall, stator, and grumble anytime you try to leave the parking lot.

Some like it rough and don’t mind a little bump now and them, while others stator, stall, bitch and moan; and if you scratch it the doors fall off.

Happy New Year!

You know your living in 2006 when:

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 2.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of you r life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )

12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.

AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.

Go on, forward this to your friends you know you want to! You know you are living in 2006

I Shot The Sheriff, But I Did Not Shoot The Deputy

I love LAPD, but I love the Sheriffs more.

A Sheriff’s officer pulled over a speeding corvette, after a short high-speed prosecute. Pulled out the passenger, told him to get on the ground, then told him to get up from the ground. As the passenger was getting up from the ground the sheriff decided to open fire. The sheriff shot the passenger 3 times, and told him to “shut the fuck up!”

I Love LA

The whole ordeal was video taped. The neighbored standing next to the guy with the camera is heard screaming at the Sheriff, “You told him to get up!”

Did I say, “I love LA”?

“I Love LA!”

Ironic Twist

The passenger that was shot was an Mexican (Air force Police Officer, just got back from Iraq). The Sheriff’s Officer that shot him…… BLACK!!! (African American) (I love it)

For once no one can say that all of police shootings are racially motivated. The new theory will be, that they are all just fucking nuts!

Today the victim was visited in the hospital by no one other then
“Rodney; I got hit by many batons, King” Hahahahah!!!

Viva la Vita Loca

My Crazy Life Dos Stylz!

T-Mobile Nickl and Dimes its Customers

T-Mobile is about to raise the rates on its text messaging service.

Initially it cost 5 cents to send a message or to receive a message. The new price is 10 cents.
Yes it sounds like pidgins feed but think about it this way, lets say you spend $10 dollars a month on text messaging... well the next month you'll pay $20 dollars for those same messages.
Yea a nickel to a dime is not a lot, nut it is double.

In addition the 411 services will still cost $1.49 however it now includes your airtime.
(Every time you call 411 its 1.49 plus airtime)

The Deal With The Devil

Can you imagine graduating out of Yale with a C average. Dodging the draft to Vietnam. Getting elected president, even though the votes didn’t add-up. Choking on a pretzel, in the oval office, loosing consciousness, hitting your head on the coffee table on your way down. And most recently having a live grenade, wrapped in a handkerchief, thrown at you while giving a speech in Georgia, and not having it go off.

WHAT DEAL DO YOU HAVE WITH THE ANGEL OF DEATH???

You are the anti-Christ
Everyone hates you (Most of the world hates you)
We can’t wait until you are gone (out of office)
You are stupid
You can’t read!
You can’t speak!
Your “daddy” bought you into office
Once your “daddy” passes (because he is old), all of your, so-called,
friends will turn on you

WE HATE YOU!!!

Don't Fuck Bush, Just Sue Him

Iyman Faris, the only named American target of the National Security Agency's secret warrantless wiretap program, will consider a lawsuit against the president of the United States, according to his criminal defense attorney, David Smith.

"I am sure he would be delighted to sue President Bush," said Smith, of the law firm English & Smith in Alexandria, Va., who is representing Faris in his criminal appeals. "He may be the only person in the country who can."

To accomplish this goal, Smith has issued an all points bulletin for civil liberties attorneys and constitutional scholars interested in taking up his client's case. "If some lawyer would like to sue on behalf of Faris, I would be happy to introduce them," Smith told Salon Thursday evening. "I've got the man here."

"If I could sue the mother fucker (Bush), I'd be smilig too!"
