Remember Cabbage Patch Dolls, people? Or Tickle Me Elmos? Furbies even?

Well from that same corporate greedy well has sprung up a new plastic hunk of junk named the Zhu Zhu pet … and it’s the talk of the town this holiday season! This plastic hamster is the hot new “here today, gone in a closet tomorrow” product that the media is telling the general public they want and need for Christmas, so they can call the toy stores daily (to see if they came in yet) or spend countless hours online looking for them like little sheep? What a sad, and very pathetic, society we live in when we don’t even realize that these hunks of junk are going to go on sale December 26th, when they’ll be found everywhere (for less than their regular price, I should add here)!

Three months ago, my wife cancelled her Planet Fitness membership in Boca Raton, FL (note: this gym is very bare bones … no extras here) and was told she must send a certified letter stating her intent to their billing company, ABC Financial. I know, I know … since when has a simple “I want to cancel now” not been good enough?

So anyways, she sent this certified letter, per instructions (I actually went to the post office as a witness to it) and we weren’t really surprised by the extra month’s charge being taken out by these scam artists (because they said that they would be taking it out, of course)! However, we WERE shocked to see another withdrawal made in June, so I personally phoned these bastards to get a status report on her cancellation, and was told by one of their representatives that the letter was never received! Bulls@#t to that … we have a return slip right here that says it was delivered. Right there and then, I flipped my lid, and demanded a manager get on the f-ing phone (man, was I p@#sed)! Continued

The leaders of the free world have a love for money that regular folks don’t even know about!
I don’t know if you know this or not, but very rich people and corporations are running the government, while the poor and middle-class (note: someone who makes $100,000/year is not rich in my opinion … keep this in mind for future reference) are just voters who send these same rich people to rule over them! The poor still believe in this whole fairy tale that only rich people should be allowed to sit on the chairs of power, and that they should be grateful that they are allowed to remain patriotic (what does that even mean … really?) and obey the orders passed down by those who had been sent to rule over the land.
These same politicians, who usually only side with the rich business class, exploit the positions and situations of the people who kill themselves working for their table scraps off the corporate plates. They’re pretty much making sure that the poor remain illiterate, unemployed, hungry, separated, and poverty-stricken because these people would otherwise have enough time to see what crimes are being committed against them in secrecy. All politicians (Republican, Democratic, Green Party … whatever) know that they are only in office because the majority of Americans are poor, ignorant people who are being bombarded with dull, mind-numbing s@#t like Reality TV, sports and phony Americans materialistic dreams (how else could these small groups of criminals still remain in control of this nation?)!

I hate to be a d@#k about things, but if a thief ever breaks into my house while I’m home their (you know what) will be grass — period!

Do you know why? Well, it’s because I have a right, just like every other American does, to own a handgun and to keep it in my house to protect my family when this kind of greedy nonsense goes down! Does this make me a gun nut (a really stupid term that the far-too-left liberals have been throwing around like candy for at least a couple of decades now)? No … actually it doesn’t! Does it mean that I believe in regular citizens owning an Uzi or AK-47? Hells no (that’s way too much gun for most people)!
You see, I don’t think this is what our founding fathers had in mind when they sat around the tavern table discussing our future right to bear arms! However, I can pretty much guarantee that they didn’t talk about low-life drug dealers (or anyone else who has had a cameo appearance on Cops [bad boy, bay boys … whatcha’ gonna do?]) or crazy a-holes who like to run into schools and reenact some phony bulls@#t they just saw in a cowboy shoot-em-up! This is not what gun-ownership is all about people, and its jag-offs like these type of idiots who are giving us regular gun owners a bad rap!
So for those who have never held a cold steel, protector-of-life in their hands, let me tell you what you need to do before this will ever happen … Continued

There’s a lot of talk about global warming lately, and I’d like to add my own two cents!
For starters, there are obviously two different streets one could walk down, but let me say this: there are super-rich people living on both of them, and they only got this way because they’re profiting off of the common American’s ignorance (note: I don’t mean the derogatory version of this word, and I’m definitely not calling all Americans stupid. It’s just that we have other s@#t to worry about, so we don’t have the time to uncover every little aspect of this very confusing subject. There are mouths to feed, and mortgage payments to make … “they” know this, and are seizing this golden opportunity to add the fear factor, without the masses being able to do much about it). It’s absolutely true, and this is the way I see it (in a nutshell …without a lot of research, because I also have other crap to do!)… Continued
