I'm off

I am off to send my girls to Germany for a couple months. I am sad. I will miss them. Anyway, I will write more next week. Bye for now.

This pisses me off....

Okay so the Democrats like to lead the way in exploring alternative energy options and blame the administration for too much dependence on foreign oil right? And they moan about the bogus issue of global warming right? RIGHT? Well, Mr Ted "I drink and drive and drown women" Kennedy--the leading democrat on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committe is supporting a bill that would PREVENT a wind farm being erected at or near Cape Cod in Nantucket Sound. This wind farm would provide 75% of Cape Cod's energy needs. That's right do as I say not as I do.....typical lib. Not to mention the guy is just a piece of garbage who is only better than the moronic voters of Massachusetts who insist on keeping him in office. Now why would Teddy Boy "hiccup" be opposed to something like this? I will tell you why: because the wind farm would be 8 miles away from his Hyannis Port fucking home!!!! That's why and that's the only reason why and it is common knowledge even among fellow democrats. Kennedy say's he's opposed to it because it may pose navigational and tourism problems!!! He obviously thinks the GAP (great American public) are retarded......and they are in Massachusetts. He's even got the worthless bastards from Greepeace against him!!!! Now watch when this bill goes before Congress--you will certainly not hear anything about it in the liberal mainstream media. Man I really hate that big-headed motherfucker.

Sweet Vengeance

So I pull into the gas station this morning and what did I see? One of those arrogant dick-smokers who pulls up to the front door real quick with his vehicle crooked in the parking spot and taking up 2 spots. I was my usual morning-asshole self so what did I do? Pulled about 2" behind him so he couldn't get out until I finished doing what I had to do in the store and moved. So naturally I took my time getting my coffee and bought some lottery and stuff. I smiled pleasantly at the other ball-bag in the store (who I knew was the perpetrator). Then when I walked outside he was in his truck already waiting on me. So I walked by and gave him a look that said," Hey FUCKO--maybe next time you'll pull in like a normal person". He shot me back a look that said,"Alright, maybe I should have pulled in like a normal person". I was going to check the pressure on all 4 of my tires and run over and get a windshield squeegee and clean off my windshield before I moved but I think he got the point.

In other news.....the house looks AWESOME with the new paint job. I am not an easy person to satisfy (unless we're talking sex) and I am completely satisfied. The boys did a great job and the final tally was $965.00 because they had to get a little more ceiling paint. They even moved all the heavy shit back where it belongs for us. All I have left to do it set back up my office on our loft. I have 2 desks with a laptop and a desktop....surround sound speakers for both, printer, fax, 2 file cabinets, a small table, some music recording equipment and a little nightstand so it's nothing huge but with all the wires/cables that automatically makes it a pain in the ass.

I also golfed yesterday....my first time out this year and I did awesome. Well, awesome for me anyway. Then I stopped at Wal-Mart and bought a bunch of fishing stuff for my boat. I already have a bunch of fishing stuff but I need some to keep at the house and some to keep on the boat because I am too lazy to transport all of it. That's about it for the excitement of my day yesterday....except the stalker that hit on me at work.

Painting II

Okay the painters are at the house for day #2 of painting. Yesterday was the ceiling and today is all the walls. I have to tell you, after I got home yesterday and cheked the ceiling out I was really happy I just decided to pay the money to have it done. There was no paint ANYWHERE except on the ceiling. My furniture and entertainment center and everything else was paintless. Plus the ceiling looked really good. Not only did they do the ceiling but they filled in all the holes in the wall and stuff and sanded everything smooth as a baby's ass. The walls are mostly being done one color except 2 of the walls the painter suggested we make a different color for an accent. We agreed and I think it was the right call. I believe it will turn out really nice. I will let you know tomorrow. I have a golf match this afternoon so I will start moving everything back into place when I get home after that. That's gonna be the crappy part. That along with re-routing all my internet, cable modem, fax, printer, network cables all over the place. Fun. Fun.

Painting Part I

Today was day one of the paint job on my house (inside) and all reports so far indicate that the job is going very well. The painter had to go and get 2 additional gallons of white paint for the ceiling so there's $39.00 added to the cost bringing the tally to a whopping $964.00!!! Holy Christ! Anyway, they will be there again tomorrow to finish all the walls and be done by around noon. Also, I joined the golf team at work. Any of you who know me should know my passion for the game of golf. I will be playing after work 2 times every week through September. I am quite happy about this because I can golf during the week and boat/mountain bike on weekends!!! Because of this I didn't get my country club membership renewed this year. Back to the paint thing....you know what is cool? All of the stuff was moved out of the living/dining room area. I told my wife to leave it and I will put everything back after she leaves for Germany Friday. This means that a lot of the stuff we had in there (i.e. bogus knick knacks) will be packed up and put into the storage space because I think it was too cluttered. I might get some pink flamingos to hang on the walls and some inflatable palm trees to go between the couches and stuff!!!! NICE!!! I am also starting to get EXTREMELY upset that my little Samantha is going to be gone for so long. I am not going to be happy come Friday.

End of an era

I will be ending my blog. Not that I usually put too much thought into it anyway but I am not going to put any effort into something that nobody reads save 1 or 2 people tops. I may still post the occasional smart ass remark or two but I think I am hanging it up so.......TOODLES!!!!!

The saga continues

Okay so continuing on with the boat saga... You go and out buy a nice boat right? Well then of course you need to go out and buy a whole bunch of stuff to go with it. I went over the weekend and got the following: water skis, tow rope, portable grill, boat bumpers, rope for bumpers, an anchor, an anchor rope, 4 adult life jackets, 2 children's life jackets, various mooring ropes, compass, GPS, assorted fishing stuff, throwable life saving device, map of the lake, folding knife, cooking utensils. One thing I forgot....toilet paper!!!! I actually went out on the boat Sunday. It was crappy weather but me, my wife and daughter went to the marina and they put the boat in the water for me and we went out so they could show me how everything works and let me drive it to make sure I was happy with it. Well I did and I was. Of course I had to slam on the throttle and the bastard stood straight up in the air and took off. Won't be any problem getting a skier up with that hog! Anyway, this Friday I have to bring my wife and little sweety to the airport because they leave for Germany. My dad is coming over and we're going to finish the addition on my shed on Saturday and we're going to go to the lake on Sunday. The docks will be in and I am going to have my boat put into the water for the season and park it at my dock. Then me and the old man are going to take it out and do some fishing. First I need to get a Captain's Hat!

My Boat Part II

Okay so I didn't get the boat from yesterday's photo. I upgraded. Here's the boat I went and bought yesterday. It's a 21'6" Bayliner Cuddy Cabin that I can ski and fish and swim from. It's also got a cabin and a shitter so I don't have to jump in the water and float a log up. Oh and the broad in photo #3 below doesn't come with it :( I have to stop there on Sunday so they can take me out in it and make sure I am happy with it and drive it around. Then they'll part at my dock for me and it will be there waiting for me whenever I want to use it. NICE!!!!

New Toy

Okay so now I got a big head because of all my stock market "winnings". So now what am I doing? Yep, I am buying a boat and a dock slip on the lake. Holy crap! $895 for a dock per year!!! WTF dude?!?!?! It's a nice boat though. I can waterski or fish off of it. What a pain in the ass though. I have to register it, then insure it then take the certification class and all that jazz. Dude I just want to get on the thing and putz around the lake. Anyway I am very excited about it. After this I think that will be it for me buying myself toys for a while. Anyway, wish me luck and happy boating. The boat I am buying:

10 things that.....

I thought about today that really piss me off (in no particular order):

10) That stupid George Michael song--something about "Don't let the sun go down on me"-- where he says, "Ladies and gentlemen Mr. Elton John" not once but twice in that Limey whine of his.

9) Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo because they never have any idea of what they're talking about. They're have-beens (actually never-beens) with an agenda....a dangerous combination that influences easily-led people.

8) Anti-Military people, Cindy Sheehan, and the left-wing garbage that have been showing up at soldiers' funerals with signs that read, "Thank God for IEDs" and "Thank God for Dead Soldiers".

7) When you buy a seedless watermelon and find goddamn seeds in it.

6) The scene in "A Christmas Carol" when that tiny little bastard says, "God bless us, everyone".

5) The born on date on Anheuser-Busch products. Does anyone look at that thing? Who gives a fuck when it was born?!?!?!

4) Music with these Jamaican assholes that sound like they have a sock in their mouth (i.e. Sean Paul or Shaggy). This does not include talented people like Bob Marley.

3) That all these people think Sarah Jessica Parker is good looking. UGH!!! She's friggin' hideous!!! Looks like Alice the Goon from Popeye with that nose and I've seen her in person. DISCLAIMER: Great body though.

2) All of the "Happy Holiday" politically correct bullshit. You mean I can see TV ads saying Happy Kwanzaa (whatever the fuck that is) but not one saying Merry Christmas? Go fuck yourself--how's that for PC?

1) Recalls on vehicles. Automobile companies should be held accountable for quality of work. This means if I buy a car for $20,000.00 and there's a recall on something, I should automatically get a check for 20% of the cost of the car. Watch how fast these fuckers would buckle down on their quality standards.

Other than that I had a wonderful day!

Media

You know, it makes me sick hearing the things we hear in the mainstream media everyday. I think half of the assholes who work for the mainstream media ought to be executed along with Cindy--I am a media whore and embarrassment to my son--Sheehan but that's besides the point. Anyway, here are some great, and I believe inspiring photos of some of our true heroes at work. That's right, real heroes--not athletes, movie/tv stars or musicians. What you don't see or hear in the mainstream media.

So Long....

Is anyone else as upset as I am that 7th Heaven is going off the air in a couple more episodes? Pisses me off. Oh well, I will be watching tonight....since the Yankees or Hockey aren't on.

Productive Weekend

So did anyone else have a very productive weekend? I did. My dad came down and we went and bought a crapload of wood and stuff at Home Depot for the addition on my shed. We got the entire floor done. I also pruned all of my plants. I water sealed my deck. I cleaned out my shed and threw a bunch of crap out. I reorganized all of our holiday decorations and put them in the basement. The only bad thing is my back is killing me now. So this coming weekend my folks are coming down again and my dad and I will finish the shed addition. They're also going to baby sit so my wife and I can go out to dinner for a while. She and my daughter leave for Germany next week for 2 months :( I also ordered my plane ticket for Germany......1st class baby!!! I used my frequent flyer miles to upgrade to 1st class so my days of sitting in coach crammed in like a sardine are over. I also don't have to sit next to any fat fucks anymore that should have had to pay for 2 seats. Bastards! God forbid a hot chick sits next to me!

Today I have 15 cubic yards of top soil being delivered to my house. Throughout the week I am going to square away my front yard and level it off with the dirt. I am putting in a pond with a waterfall and putting that red cedar mulch everywhere else. I am going to buy some flat rocks and make walkways and a patio around the pond. It will be a lot of work but it will be worth it in property value. I guess that's good since I dropped about 2 g's on dirt, wood, ladders, etc this weekend. I also have the painters coming next week to do the inside of the house. Jeez!

I also hid Easter eggs for Samantha and she ran around finding them on Sunday morning. Then we went out for an all you can eat brunch where I was reminded again what fucking scavengers people are. I love seeing 300 lb people filling their plates with bacon. Have some goddamn self-respect and a little discipline!

Lastly I got a promotion at work and I am also being recruited for another position by another employer. Oooohh ooohhh I can't wait to see how this pans out. If I play my cards right this could work out real nice.

I know it is lengthy but this is a great article written by an extremely intelligent scientist about the fraud of global warming. I have always suspected that the global warming nonsense was blown out of proportion but having done a huge amount of research and reading on the subject I am now convinced. This article does a great job articulating the reasoning behind this. Also, if you put any stock in anything Al " I invented the internet" Gore says you have issues to begin with:

Climate of Fear Global-warming alarmists intimidate dissenting scientists into silence.

BY RICHARD LINDZEN Wednesday, April 12, 2006 12:01 a.m. EDT

There have been repeated claims that this past year's hurricane activity was another sign of human-induced climate change. Everything from the heat wave in Paris to heavy snows in Buffalo has been blamed on people burning gasoline to fuel their cars, and coal and natural gas to heat, cool and electrify their homes. Yet how can a barely discernible, one-degree increase in the recorded global mean temperature since the late 19th century possibly gain public acceptance as the source of recent weather catastrophes? And how can it translate into unlikely claims about future catastrophes?
The answer has much to do with misunderstanding the science of climate, plus a willingness to debase climate science into a triangle of alarmism. Ambiguous scientific statements about climate are hyped by those with a vested interest in alarm, thus raising the political stakes for policy makers who provide funds for more science research to feed more alarm to increase the political stakes. After all, who puts money into science--whether for AIDS, or space, or climate--where there is nothing really alarming? Indeed, the success of climate alarmism can be counted in the increased federal spending on climate research from a few hundred million dollars pre-1990 to $1.7 billion today. It can also be seen in heightened spending on solar, wind, hydrogen, ethanol and clean coal technologies, as well as on other energy-investment decisions.
But there is a more sinister side to this feeding frenzy. Scientists who dissent from the alarmism have seen their grant funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves libeled as industry stooges, scientific hacks or worse. Consequently, lies about climate change gain credence even when they fly in the face of the science that supposedly is their basis.

To understand the misconceptions perpetuated about climate science and the climate of intimidation, one needs to grasp some of the complex underlying scientific issues. First, let's start where there is agreement. The public, press and policy makers have been repeatedly told that three claims have widespread scientific support: Global temperature has risen about a degree since the late 19th century; levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have increased by about 30% over the same period; and CO2 should contribute to future warming. These claims are true. However, what the public fails to grasp is that the claims neither constitute support for alarm nor establish man's responsibility for the small amount of warming that has occurred. In fact, those who make the most outlandish claims of alarm are actually demonstrating skepticism of the very science they say supports them. It isn't just that the alarmists are trumpeting model results that we know must be wrong. It is that they are trumpeting catastrophes that couldn't happen even if the models were right as justifying costly policies to try to prevent global warming.
If the models are correct, global warming reduces the temperature differences between the poles and the equator. When you have less difference in temperature, you have less excitation of extratropical storms, not more. And, in fact, model runs support this conclusion. Alarmists have drawn some support for increased claims of tropical storminess from a casual claim by Sir John Houghton of the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that a warmer world would have more evaporation, with latent heat providing more energy for disturbances. The problem with this is that the ability of evaporation to drive tropical storms relies not only on temperature but humidity as well, and calls for drier, less humid air. Claims for starkly higher temperatures are based upon there being more humidity, not less--hardly a case for more storminess with global warming.
So how is it that we don't have more scientists speaking up about this junk science? It's my belief that many scientists have been cowed not merely by money but by fear. An example: Earlier this year, Texas Rep. Joe Barton issued letters to paleoclimatologist Michael Mann and some of his co-authors seeking the details behind a taxpayer-funded analysis that claimed the 1990s were likely the warmest decade and 1998 the warmest year in the last millennium. Mr. Barton's concern was based on the fact that the IPCC had singled out Mr. Mann's work as a means to encourage policy makers to take action. And they did so before his work could be replicated and tested--a task made difficult because Mr. Mann, a key IPCC author, had refused to release the details for analysis. The scientific community's defense of Mr. Mann was, nonetheless, immediate and harsh. The president of the National Academy of Sciences--as well as the American Meteorological Society and the American Geophysical Union--formally protested, saying that Rep. Barton's singling out of a scientist's work smacked of intimidation.
All of which starkly contrasts to the silence of the scientific community when anti-alarmists were in the crosshairs of then-Sen. Al Gore. In 1992, he ran two congressional hearings during which he tried to bully dissenting scientists, including myself, into changing our views and supporting his climate alarmism. Nor did the scientific community complain when Mr. Gore, as vice president, tried to enlist Ted Koppel in a witch hunt to discredit anti-alarmist scientists--a request that Mr. Koppel deemed publicly inappropriate. And they were mum when subsequent articles and books by Ross Gelbspan libelously labeled scientists who differed with Mr. Gore as stooges of the fossil-fuel industry.
Sadly, this is only the tip of a non-melting iceberg. In Europe, Henk Tennekes was dismissed as research director of the Royal Dutch Meteorological Society after questioning the scientific underpinnings of global warming. Aksel Winn-Nielsen, former director of the U.N.'s World Meteorological Organization, was tarred by Bert Bolin, first head of the IPCC, as a tool of the coal industry for questioning climate alarmism. Respected Italian professors Alfonso Sutera and Antonio Speranza disappeared from the debate in 1991, apparently losing climate-research funding for raising questions.
And then there are the peculiar standards in place in scientific journals for articles submitted by those who raise questions about accepted climate wisdom. At Science and Nature, such papers are commonly refused without review as being without interest. However, even when such papers are published, standards shift. When I, with some colleagues at NASA, attempted to determine how clouds behave under varying temperatures, we discovered what we called an "Iris Effect," wherein upper-level cirrus clouds contracted with increased temperature, providing a very strong negative climate feedback sufficient to greatly reduce the response to increasing CO2. Normally, criticism of papers appears in the form of letters to the journal to which the original authors can respond immediately. However, in this case (and others) a flurry of hastily prepared papers appeared, claiming errors in our study, with our responses delayed months and longer. The delay permitted our paper to be commonly referred to as "discredited." Indeed, there is a strange reluctance to actually find out how climate really behaves. In 2003, when the draft of the U.S. National Climate Plan urged a high priority for improving our knowledge of climate sensitivity, the National Research Council instead urged support to look at the impacts of the warming--not whether it would actually happen.

Alarm rather than genuine scientific curiosity, it appears, is essential to maintaining funding. And only the most senior scientists today can stand up against this alarmist gale, and defy the iron triangle of climate scientists, advocates and policymakers.

Update

Okay the US Markets close in 11 minutes and now we're up over 140% on one stock and 47% on the other. NICE! Hey Dan if you're reading this send me another pick brother!!!! I got a few grand ready to go!!!

By the way....does anyone know when Easter is? I have like 4 calenders and none of them have it on there. They must be politically correct asshole calenders. Maybe that's why I have them.....because I am an asshole!

Sick

Okay so I was home from work sick for 4 out of 5 days last week. I was really bad and I am even still all congested and stuff. UGH!! At least I am feeling a little better now. So since then, I spent Sunday (yesterday) in NY because my brother and his family are up visiting my parents from Florida so we all spent the day together and went out to eat. No other big news except of course the stock tip from my buddy Dan. I had a bunch of $$$ to play with so I dumped a whole crapload into my e trade account. Well Dan gave me a tip so I bought a bunch of the stock and it has gone up 115.69% since then so I guess you could say NICE!!!! Thanks again Dan. I also bought a crapload of another stock around the same time....that's gone up 42% so I am really sitting pretty. Hmmmm, soon my daughter's college may be paid for and she's only 15 months old!!! Yeee Haaaa!!!! And no I am not going to say which stock it is because I don't need the SEC saying that I am trying to influence the price by promoting it. I want to enjoy the money, not use it for bail.
