Twisted Musings

Who would have thought it was so easy to get out of something you don’t want to deal with!

Boss ask if you have the board presentation ready? “I’m buying shrimp guys”?

Teacher asks if you did your homework? “I’m buying shrimp guys”

Policeman asks if you have license and registration? “I’m buying shrimp guys!

Why not? It works for our President! In Martha’s Vineyard, on his sixth vacation (if you count the pretend vacation to the Gulf of Mexico), Obama was asked a question about the war in Iraq. Obviously not wanting to answer, he shouts “We’re buying shrimp guys. Come on” What a ridiculous statement. If he was walking into church or heading into an official gathering, maybe he could avoid answering questions. Not when standing in line (pretending again) to buy shrimp! Answer the question Obama! If you don’t want to be asked questions by reporters on your many vacations, then dont allow them to be there. We don’t need any pictures of you standing in line (yeah, right) to buy shrimp! If that’s all you want them for, tell them to stay home. I’m not sure if that happened before or after his 48th round of golf since becoming President.

Speaking of the pretend vacation to the Gulf of Mexico, guess what the First Lady ordered for dinner. Keep in mind the purpose of the pretend vacation was to show (pretend) support to the residents and businesses of the area. Apparently she has a huge fondness for lobster, and yes, she ordered lobster. That would be fine except, yes you already know, no lobsters in the gulf of Mexico! I guess they were pretending on their pretend vacation to pretend like lobsters come from the Gulf!

Obama’s newest spiel is to compare the economy to a car that has run off the road into a ditch. Obama and his fellow democrats have to get into the ditch and get all muddy and dirty while getting it back on the road, while the Republicans watched. Then he makes sure to take the keys away from the Republicans.

Obama, you idiot, the reason the Republicans watched you pull that car out of the ditch is because that wasn’t their car, that was your car. It was a 2009 Special Flaming Liberal model. It didn’t work too well though. The speed of recovery was really slow and when you opened up the hood you could see that it was really way underpowered. It finally ran out of gas and coasted off into the ditch. 

The Republicans though, they have a brand new Supercharged High powered model on order. It’s a 2013 model and it comes out in November 2012. A big down payment is going to be made this November, with the remainder of the payment to be made two years later. That baby is going to rocket too!

Obama and fellow dems, I suggest you walk on the sidewalk. The road won’t belong to you any longer.

Why is anyone surprised that Obama is supporting the building of a mosque at ground zero in New York City? He has exhibited nothing but disdain for Americans. He bows to foreign leaders. He tells the world we shouldn’t be a superpower any longer. (Which by the way, the sane world totally disagrees with). He spends us into debt that will never be repaid, and attempts to repay it by extreme axes (which never work). He won’t open up his past, but is amused when we asked about it. He is the most arrogant President we have ever had without having anyone behind him to compensate for that. All of his staff is either arrogant, lacking in intellect, or criminal.  So please don’t be surprised that he supports building a Mosque in the very place planes controlled by Muslims killed over 3000 people and destroyed the lives of countless others.

Please, anyone that attempts to throw out freedom of religion at me, can  put that argument back into your otherwise empty sack of logic. There are countless ways this could have and still be prevented. New York City could have dragged the application process itself along for 20 years!  If we are so worried about keeping separation of religion and state, why are we as US Taxpayers, funding a trip for Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf to travel to the middle east  for a mission trip to increase understanding of American Islam.   Keep in mind as the Iman behind the building of this Mosque and refuses to denounce Hamas as a terrorist organization. He has also stated that America was an accomplice in 9-11 attacks. Does anyone honestly think that will be the sole purpose of his trip?

Subsequent to his original comments, Obama later said he was only commenting on the constitutional right to practice ones religion. Does this mean he has suddenly become a supporter of the constitution? I think we all know the answer to that.

Today, a JetBlue flight attendant, after a scuffle with a passenger, made quite a dramatic exit from his flight. As the plane was landing and taxing to the gate, a passenger got up and began trying to get his luggage from the overhead. Steven Slater, the flight attendant, told him he had to wait until the flight had stopped at the gate.  The female passenger had already had an altercation with another passenger, which Mr Slater intervened in. She slammed the door of the overhead before the flight, hitting Mr. Slater on his head. Upon landing she attempted to get her bag before the flight reached the gate.  When that happened he grabbed the intercom microphone, unleashed a number of expletives towards her, drank a beer, popped the emergency slide, and bailed out the side.

I gotta say if your going to quit, that’s the way to go!

I have only quit one job abruptly and that was after a manager cussed me out for taking off a day to go to my daughters high school graduation. Even then, I didn’t quit until I had another job in had, which actually started the next day!

Do any of you have any great quitting stories? I would love to hear them!

Today, in the Atlanta suburbs two incidents which involved police, totally pissed me off. I try not to use that language when writing, but it is totally appropriate when discussing these incidents.

The first happened in Fayette County, GA south of Atlanta.  An officer attempted to pull over a vehicle occupied by four  “men” (none over 20). The  men were suspected of a rash of burglaries that had occurred in the area.  When he attempted to pull them over, they fled, in the process wrecking their car.  After losing control of their car, they fled into some heavy woods where they were ultimately arrested.

So you ask me what pisses me off about this incident? It sure as heck wasn’t them getting arrested or wrecking their car. I could care less about that. What bothered me  is that during the chase, Fayette County’s first full service canine, died after the chase. His name was Aaros, and he collapsed after the chase, probably from heat exhaustion. He died enroute to the veterinary hospital. He added more value to this world than the four suspected robbers combined, and will be missed more than they ever could be.

The second incident also happened south of Atlanta, in Henry County, Ga. Henry County adjoins Fayette County, but the incidents were unrelated. In this case a man and a woman attempted to break into a home which turned out to be occupied. As they came through the front door, which they broke into with a crowbar, the owner shot them with his shotgun. The male robber died on the scene. The female fled, but was later arrested, after calling 911 for help. Oh I hope you don’t think that the man shooting them is what upset me? No, what really ticks me off is that they thought they had the right to break into someones home and take what they wanted. They put themselves in the position of a homeowner having to use deadly force, and they deserved what they received. What I do feel sorry for, is the homeowner who has to go through the ordeal, even though he was completely justified. Better it be him dealing with that, instead of harm coming to him though.

So this may be insensitive and some of you may not like this but tough. In order of my concern, ranked for most concern to least concern.

1) The man who had to use deadly force to stop a home invasion. Even though clearly in the right, that can’t be an easy thing to deal with.

2) Aaros, the law enforcement canine. Aaros was doing his job, aiding his fellow officers and did not deserve to die because some scum decided it’s easier to steal stuff, rather than make money to buy it.

3) The four thieves…who cares. If they are convicted, I hope they rot. I’m sure being young though, they won’t spend much time in jail. That’s just the way it works.

4) The injured female home invade. Who cares…consider yourself lucky your partner was in front of you. Hope you also spend a long time in jail

5) The dead home invader. Whatever. Don’t break peoples doors down. You never know whats waiting for you
