Logistics Companies Anything But Logical.

I can't help but notice the swerving 18 wheeler in front of me in traffic at 4:30 in the morning trying to make that ludecrous time frame he's been given by his employer. So many Americans are ready to pin the blame on the driver himself for pushing his abilities way too far, but in all honesty, he doesn't have a choice. Logistics companies are anything but compassionate. It takes you 3 days to get to New Orleans from Michigan? Well, you got 77 hours. No room for error.

Should you blow it, fall asleep at the wheel, break down or something else that depletes your amount of time, well, it's your fault.

This is disgusting. Drivers are not paid nearly enough to have ridiculous time constraints with no room for error - human or otherwise - added into the equation. Sure, AVT Logistics in Bumville, TN will argue they figure in 20 seconds for every 20 miles or some stupid figure, but is that really enough? Yeah, anything but logical, folks.

Eminem - How Does Such A Zilch Garner So Much Attention

Ask many of his own fans, and they'll tell you even they think Eminem (Marshall Mathers) is a great big zero. "Yeah, his music's catchy and stuff, but I know he's a loser," says one girl who didn't want to be identified. In his still pretty young career, Eminem has had fights with Christina Aguilera, Moby, Insane Clown Posse and others.

Vince Speaks Holy S! Is this guy for real? He went from feast to famine with his little verbal arguements among celebrities. His feud with Insane Clown Posse goes way back, and he didn't have a chance against this pair of ex-wrestlers. Then he 180's and goes after Moby. Moby?!?! That's like attacking a Senior Citizen on Qualuds. Moby either doesn't know - or doesn't care - if he's being attacked. And where Eminem gets off picking a fight with the musical genius of Moby I'll never understand.

Eminem needs to shut his little punk hole before someone like Dee Snider (Twisted Sister's Lead Vocalist) decides to shove a dumpster up his ass and rip out his spleen. Eminem is too much of a wise guy for his own good. He thinks he's big and bad because he's got the backing of Dr. Dre. Well, I'm not impressed. And Dre should smarten up and realize if Eminem pisses off enough people, they'll inevitably start blaming Dre.

No End To Sheep - Er - Peace Lover's Complaints

Despite the rebounding economy, the liberation of Iraq, the drop of Oil prices, more hemp bag toting idiots are plaguing the internet with their venom. "Bush lied" "Where's the weapons?" "Wah wah wah". Ok. You know what? Shut up. You will never be happy. The only time you are happy is when you have something to whine about. If it's not war, it's the president, if it's not the president it's about where the "alleged" weapons are. I have an idea, just shut your mouths. If you must complain, find something the majority agrees with you on because you sound like a bunch of spoiled little brats.

We should ship these idiots to Afghanistan, Iraq or some other 3rd World toilet so maybe they understand what their freedom is all about and why they should be proud to defend it. I have no use for a group of extreme left cowards who whine incessantly about our middle east involvement. Maybe they'd be happy if someone like Saddam Hussein ruled over them. Losers.

Small Town Politics

Last night, my town passed Proposition 2 1/2 override. In 1984 Masschusetts passed Proposition 2 1/2 to protect citizens from having the towns raise property tax to obscene levels. And every year since, towns across the Bay State have done everything they can to get voters to approve an override.

How? They use, in layman's terms; Scare Tactics. "We'll lose the schools music and arts programs, we'll have to lay off the grounds keeper at the local cemetary..." Only my town was threatening to nearly shut down all together. Well, no offense Mr. Hilliger, but I still say the lot of you are full of crap. The figures don't add up, and the answer you have has too many holes.

If 2.5 didn't pass, property value would drop and next year the town would actually collect less property tax than this year. I have to doubt even Hilliger is so dumb as to allow that to happen. So either the selectmen were all full of crap, or they really intended to shut the town down and didn't think about the long term downward spiral this would cause. I tend to lean towards the first choice.

One could argue, "Well, we gave you the facts in the mail." Well, the facts were lacking, severely. Way too many holes. "Well, we invited you to the informational session." Where you no doubt intimidated the hell out of anyone who challenged you and gave the same run around you gave everyone in the mail. Most people are not financial guru's and have a limit to what they know budget wise. And with a little carefully planned arguing, you could convince them of anything.

Well, congrats. You passed it. I have to ask, though. During the "Booming Bill Clinton Years" - why did you issue simmilar scare tactics, such as loss of school programs and road up keep during winter months? These were booming economic years, what was your excuse then? Maybe whoever was in office then, just couldn't balance the stupid budget. And if they are still in office, why? Are voters buying all the empty re-election promises?

Harry Potter He Is What He Is - Or Is He?

Once again so called Christian parents groups are going over board trying to turn Harry Potter movies into a three ring circus act of immoral perversion. But that fact is, is it really? Here's what I get from Harry Potter. Friendship is valuable, there is evil in the world that can suck us in if we aren't careful and respect your elders.

Here's what my so called Christian brethern claim is wrong with the books and movies: It's teaching our children a love for witchcraft. Wow. How awful. Ok, first of all let's consider something... Is there an under 12 in this country who isn't fascinated with either having super human strength or super natural powers? It's a common fantasy that we all grow out of. I highly doubt little Ashley is going to go to "The Oracle" and buy a dozen candles and work a love spell on her 5th grade teacher she's crushing on this week. Call me crazy, but I don't see it happening.

The system Christians use to condemn book and movies such as Harry Potter can also be used to defend it. In fact, there is a book out there that does so by a Christian author.

And you thought you were so clever.
