My E-Mail to Tucker Carlson of MSNBC on Charlie Sheen

Hi Tucker this is Joe from Brooklyn, New York

I just wanted to say that Imus is right. You are a nitwit. I watched show last night and when your segment on Charlie Sheen came up you took 15 seconds from an interview that was over an hour long and branded Mr. Sheen as another wackjob celeb. To put him in the same boat as far lefties like his father, Susan Sarandon and others was just insane.

Tucker the facts are this about 9/11. The official government story is bull. Normal fires stop burning after a couple of days and I know for a fact the fires at ground zero burned well past Christmas. Charlie Sheen was simply expressing the opinion many American's have that what happened on 9/11 was not what it seems. Maybe if you do some research on the subject rather then branding everyone who thinks that something else was up is a nut then maybe just maybe we could finally have some closure on 9/11.

Tucker I suggest if you really want to tackle this issue and put it to rest one way or another is to charge at it head on. Maybe you can bring on a guest or two who can explain how WTC 1, 2, and 7 are the only steel buildings in history to collapse because of fire. After that maybe you can have someone explain how a 757 was able to fit through a hole in the pentagon 16 feet wide and why the Government feels five single frames of video is all we need to see when there had to be at least 30 or 40 cameras that caught that attack on video.

Other then that I love your show, but in the words of Curtis Sliwa you could not be more hopelessly wrong.

I had to send it because the attitude he and others have towards anyone who says the official story is bull is getting really annoying. I mean another EMT just died from Mesolthemioma that she got from working at Ground Zero. I know I'm worried about what was in the air down after I went back to school since my school was right in the path of the debris cloud.

For those of you who have not heard the Charlie Sheen interview by Alex Jones, you can listen to it by going to this link.

It's about an hour long but most of what Sheen says are the same thoughts many American's and people around the world have. The Twin Towers came down in what looked like a controlled demolition. At first I didn't want to believe it but the more and more I watched video of the attack it was clear that something more then the forces of gravity and weakened steel were at work when they collapsed.

I think the worst thing in this whole mess is that god awful Freedom Tower that is going to be built. It looks like a giant hyperdermic needle. I think before anything is done we need closure on 9/11 and since we won't be putting Bin Laden's head on a spike anytime soon, knowing what exactly caused the buildings to fall would be the next big thing.

For those of you not in New York you really dont have any idea how painful it is to look at where the Towers stood and there's nothing but open sky. I remember when I went back to school and I looked up at the sky since the towers were about 4 blocks away, I damn near started crying because the sky was so beautiful but at the same time you realize what had been taken away.

All I can say is God Bless Charlie Sheen for having the courage to talk about this subject. He's going to be branded a conspiracy nut but thats to be expected by people who just want to go on living with their head in the sand.

Wow that was three years well spent

So I figure I'll jump on the bandwagon and post my thoughts on the 3 year anniversery of the war on Iraq. Iraq is on the verge of a civil war if not in the mist of one right now. As much as President Bush wants to spin the positives, the negatives still out weigh them by a whole hell of a lot.

Now before this war started I was very much in the camp that Iraq needed to be punished. 14 broken resolutions were 13 to many. 9/11 was still ringing in our minds and they drilled into out heads that IRAQ WAS WORKING WITH AL QAEDA. SADDAM IS WORKING WITH THE ENEMY. In retrospect its a load of crap, but back then we all were waiting for the second wave. I remember I wrote a paper in my English class on the case for war against Iraq. I actually made a much more convincing argument then Powell did at the UN. I wrote about how there was plenty of evidence that Iraq had VX, Sarin, and other nasty weapons and the potential death toll if they were used would be around 4.2 million.

I didnt buy for a moment that Saddam could strike anyone in 45 minutes. I argued that he could sell the weapons to our enemies and from there I laid out a couple what if's. Israel gets attacked and promptly nukes Iraq in retaliation. I wish I still had the file cause I'd post it because it was some damn good work that I wrote. If the draft comes back like most feel it will within the next year or so, I'm gonna try and BS my way into a propoganda job or something.

But here we are three years later and Iraq fell rather quickly and since then it's been a disaster of epic proportions. What it comes down to is the Iraqi special forces disbanded and went into the civilan population and Bush and company were to gung ho to do some real work and root them out. According to main stream media, those guys are the ones doing all the attacks these days. They also say alot of the bombs have the finger prints of Iran all over them. I could argue about that, but why bother.

What ever the reason we went to Iraq this is for certain.

As of March 21, 2006

U.S. Deaths Confirmed By The DoD:	2314
Reported U.S. Deaths Pending DoD Confirmation:	4
Total	2318

17,004 have been wounded

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/iraq_casualties.htm

This is a list of the month by month reports.

The D.O.D I think said 20,000 civilans have been killed as a result of combat actions and terrorist attacks.

Most independent sources place the number at well over 100,000

Right now Iraq is spiraling into Civil War as between 50 and 60 people are killed every day. This stuff between the Sunnis and Shi'ites is like Catholics and Protestant's. It's that little difference in interpertation that is causing people to be slaughtered.

Maybe someday I'll post what I really think of the so called religon of peace, but for now I'm staying on this war.

So President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Rummy, and others in the adminstration say we need to relax. Things are tense. They are not in a civil war. Well I dont know about the rest of you, but if that many people being killed a day just for their religion by their neighbors who are another religion...if that isnt a civil war then what the hell is.

Of course The President says stay the course. Well the course is fucked in plain english Mr. President. You got us into a war with no exit plan and with war with Iran looming right now the 2300 + that have died will be a drop in the bucket as the number will go up ten fold.

I'm rambling right now so bare with me. All I know is this. This war has been a joke, it's almost a half a billion in the red, and the idiocy of the adminstration is so laughable that it's sad.

I'll admit I was for this war at first, but I can admit when I made a mistake. If the President wants to fix his sagging poll numbers, he along with all his cohorts should do the same.

So the deal's dead...now what

Dubai Firm Backs Out of U.S. Ports Deal Mar 09 10:16 PM US/Eastern Email this story

By LIZ SIDOTI
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON

A Dubai-owned company abruptly abandoned its plan for managing operations at six U.S. ports Thursday, defusing an election-year showdown between President Bush and the Republican-controlled Congress over an issue that had become a political land mine for the GOP.

"DP World will transfer fully the U.S. operations ... to a United States entity," H. Edward Bilkey, the company's top executive, said in the surprise announcement that seemed to spread relief throughout the Capitol and the White House. It was unclear which American business might get the port operations.

Basically what it came down to was there was way to much bitching for them to take over the ports. They looked at the money involved and said it just wasnt worth it.

Well I guess I would say I'm sorry that we can't trust any of The Shieks over there, but I'm not. I don't trust them and I'm glad they caved on this. If anything this whole situation shows how clueless President Bush really is. I dont know if its just because he's back on the bottle or if he's really that stubborn or what. But Bush digging his heals in on this was the worst decision he's made since that Iraq war thing (and we all know how well thats worked out for us).

I'm almost certain that the Democrats will win back the house this year. I think regular folk are sick and tired of the croanism and politics as usual by Bush and his buddies. Alot of long term congressmen will suddenly find themselves out of office because alot of people will be running on a common sense platform this fall and they will win.

I still cant believe there was anyone who supported this deal to begin with. I don't want to throw around the word bribery, but what other explanation can there possibly be for anyone defending a forgien goverment taking over major port operations.

I hope the bill banning this passes because we really need to get the Chinese out of the ports on the west coast. As it is they control The Panama Canal and damn near every port in Mexico. We dont need the Chinese controlling anything else in this country. Don't let the modernization act fool you. If given the chance they would invade in an instant just because they cant sustain they're own economy and people.

Why Bush & Cheney's poll numbers are in the tank

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9672058/

Ok so the CBS numbers were off, but the fact remains most people do not like President Bush or Vice President Cheney. Now I voted for Bush and Cheney in 2004 not because I liked them or because I thought they were the best choice. I voted for them because they were the lesser of two evils. As bad as this country is now it would of been alot worse with Kerry and Edwards in office (nevermind Kerry's shrew of a wife Teresa being the first lady which would have been a nightmare in of it self). But having sad that, Bush and Cheney have failed America on everything they promised.

The War on terrorism has become a joke. The War in Iraq is a disaster of epic proportions and its going to get worse. War with Iran is on the horizon. The cost of living keeps going up. Things in this country just keep getting worse and worse. You want to know why the poll numbers are in the tank? It's because common folk like me see Bush and Cheney and their entire administration for that matter as these people who are so vastly out of touch with the common man it isnt even funny.

I doubt President Bush has ever had to live pay check to pay check. I doubt Vice President Cheney has ever had to decide which is more important. Paying the rent or eating dinner. I doubt any of them have really cared about how much a gallon of gas costs or how much the price of meat, milk, eggs, bread, corn, and other products cost. They dont know what its like to be us and the more out of touch they are the more and more those numbers are going to slip.

As for this port deal, I think it sums up the administration perfectly that no one stopped to think that maybe, just maybe the American people would have a small problem with a foriegn country running our ports. Bush's attitude is they're our friends...you can trust them.

Well Mr. President, I hate to break it to you but no we cant trust them. As much as they might be an ally right now, it's only because we have all of that money invested over there and believe me if you think investing over there is going to keep them on our side, I have a bridge here in Brooklyn I can sell to you.

But of course this is our own damn fault for giving up control of the ports to begin with in the 60's. Shipping wasnt that important so who cares who runs it. Well its 35-40 years later and now that alot of cities are redevloping water fronts they realized you know it might not be such a good idea to outsource the management of these ports.

I highly suggest to the adminstration that they all watch the movie The Sum of all Fears. Never mind the crap about neo-nazi's. The book was about arabs sneaking a nuke into this country and the first thing we all thought when we heard an arab country was buying our ports was "Oh my god it's really going to happen".

All it would take to cripple this country would be a well placed tactical nuclear weapon on a cargo ship going off in a major port and this country would be brought to it's knees as all trucking would stop.

So back to the question at hand. Why are the poll numbers in the tank? I just explained why. Stop treating us the little people like we're not that important. The GOP members going against you are smart enough to see the writing on the wall that blindly standing by your policies will get them voted out of office. Hell I can guarentee even with out this there were plenty of people sick of how the country was being run and they would be voting Democratic or thrid party in the next election. I believe alot of long sitting congressmen are going to get a rude wake up call after the election when they realize they've been voted out of office.

They'll ask why and we'll in turn say because you just sat back and didn't do anything.

I mean damn it I hate Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton and I agree with them on this issue. I can assure you I'm not the only one who is finding themselves agreeing with people they hate with a passion politically.

Thats the reason why the numbers are tanking and they will continue to tank as more scandals and bone headed decisions are sure to come.

Scholars for 9/11 on Coast to Coast

Well I'm listening to Coast to Coast AM with George Noory right now and as usual he has a great show. Tonight's topic is about 9/11 and the inaccuraices surrounding what happened that day. James Fetzer of A group called Scholars for 9/11 Truth is on right now and he is laying out that case that it was SCIENTIFICALLY impossible for the Twin Towers to have fallen the way the official report says they did.

The fires were no where near as hot as it physics says is needed to melt steele. Granted the theory is the heat weakened the structure, but even still at the most there would have been a partial collapse and it sure as hell would not have come down on it self. If you've seen building demolitions then you'll notice how the Twin towers came down on themselves perfectly. The buildings fell at free fall speed and the only way for that to be possible would be the for the floors to be blown out before hand. So it was very much a precision drop. Who was behind that drop is something we'll probably never know. But at the most the truth should come out about how the Towers fell.

As for the Pentagon, the Goverment could silence everyone by releasing any number of videos of the attack but they refuse to. So as long as they continue to hide those tapes, people will always question what happened.

If you want a better idea of what happened, watch the documentary Loose Change.

Part 1
http://youtube.com/watch?v=QZcbKGDSJ7s&search=Loose%20Change

Part 2
http://youtube.com/watch?v=g_BPjemY9fU&search=Loose%20Change

One thing is for certain. It's been four years since 9/11 and it doesnt take an idiot to realize that 9/11 wasnt a one time only event. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

As for this port deal, lets just put it like this. If anything happens after they take over we'll have a good starting point to focus the investigation on.

Oh yeah on a side note, click on the banner and use the google search. I could use some money.

EDIT: I totally forgot about the dust clouds. They were filled with Asbestos. BMCC (my school at the time) was in the direct path of the cloud. To say I'm just a tad bit paranoid about future health problems would be an understatement.

But hey, the EPA said it all clear so it must of been...Oh wait it's been proven they lied about that.

Yep yep yep.

Am I the only one who sees a problem?

I tried posting this on my blog, but Blogger is being a bitch right now.

WASHINGTON, Feb 16 (Reuters) - The U.S. government should urgently review the security implications of a $6.8 billion deal granting a Dubai-based company management over key ports including New York, U.S. lawmakers said on Thursday, citing terrorism concerns.

Analysts and port sources doubted the takeover of British company P&O (PO.L: Quote, Profile, Research) by Dubai Ports World would have any impact on security. They cited multiple layers of screening and protection involved in global shipping, particularly among such major operators.

P&O shareholders voted on Monday in favor of the multibillion-dollar bid, giving the United Arab Emirates-backed firm control over the management of P&O's global operations, including in the major U.S. ports of New York and New Jersey, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New Orleans and Miami.

The deal makes Dubai Ports World the world's third largest ports group.

"Outsourcing the operations of our largest ports to a country with a dubious record on terrorism is a homeland security and commerce accident waiting to happen," said Sen. Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat.

Ok now I know I'm not the only one just a tad bit worried that SIX MAJOR PORTS WOULD BE UNDER FORIEGN CONTROL. You know this is the reason that the economy is in the tank for us regular folk. We keep out sourcing everything to the cheapest country possible. Now dont get me wrong, I'm a capitalist and I'm all for free market research but good God all mighty could we possibly have a little common sense in this country?

We were smart enough to nix the USCOM Oil deal with China but we'll let this one go through? You know sometimes I think what ever is going to happen will happen because of our own stupidity. I mean this is exactly the stuff that guys like Lou Dobbs, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, and other talk about on a daily basis. We're selling out own security for cheaper labor.

Could you imagine what the reaction would be if say during the height of the Cold war came to this same kind of deal with a Russian company?

I don't often agree with Schmuer, but I hope Congress comes to their damn senses and puts a stop to this deal.

God what else can this Goverment do to show how stupid they are.

The fetus feels pain...who knew

So I'm flipping through the channels earlier and Dan Abrams on MSNBC has on this Arizona state rep who has introduced a bill in the AZ house that would require Doctors who give abortions by law to explain in detail that basically fetus's feel pain. I'm guessing it's supposed to be a guilt trip to put on the woman (as if she doesnt have enough stress going for an abortion it self).

Well as I was watching the debate I was thinking to myself, if your a woman and you've made the decision that you have to get an abortion does it really matter if they tell you the fetus will feel pain? I'm not trying to be insensitive here and I'm sure there are plenty of pro lifer's who will argue that bullshit like this (and believe me it is bullshit) should be required even though most Doctors probably don't support this notion as Scientific fact.

In my morbid curiosity, I've watched a few abortion videos that I found on Ogrish and Abortion by all accounts is not pretty. But from what I've seen of it, it's a fairly quick process so any pain the fetus might feel would be minimal at best. But you see this just proves my point that Abortion will not be outlawed by the Supreme court. States will just come up with creative laws to test the court so that it can be restricted to hell.

All I know is I'm glad I live in one of those evil Blue states where stuip bills like this dont have a chance in hell of being passed. I'm sure fetus's do feel pain on some level, but if your going through with the abortion your not going to have the doctor poke and prod and then stop midway just because the fetus is in pain.

That's just my take on the situation, I could be wrong but I'm usually not.

OMFG IT'S SNOWING and some other thoughts

So yeah it's 2:46 in the AM here in the Rotten Apple that is New York City and right now we are bunkered down for THE GREAT BLIZZARD OF 06...well at least thats how the local media is playing it. They love these snow storms since it gives them an excuse to do round the clock coverage. I'm all for up to the minute information, but after a while it gets boring watching the same shot of some mall in Jersey being plowed for the 15th time. But it's a Nor' Easter so I guess there is some cause for concern. I can't even see out my window due to the snow that has caked itself onto the screen.

Well scratch that, I just tapped the screen and got the snow off it. It's coming down in a light powder form. If I had to describe it I guess it looks like the mounds of Cocaine that you would find in the dressing rooms of Motley Crue, Guns and Roses, and Ozzy Osbourne back in the day.

Ok well on that note lets move on to some random thoughts like I promised.

Ariel Sharon
I personally believe the guy is brain dead. He's been in a "coma" for almost two months and now he has gangrene setting into his stomach which prompted the emergency surgery this morning. Supposedly the Israeli's have been keeping him alive because they dont have a chain of command set in stone. If he is being kept alive for this reason, I suspect he will die sometime after the Israeli elections. It's a pretty fucked up thing to do, but I guess it's better then having the country fall apart as political factions come out of the wood work looking to gain control.

Jill Carrol
Now like I said in a post below, I'm starting to think she is a sympathizer rather then a victim here. I remember reading somewhere that women who are taken prisoner by muslim captors become slaves to them so at the least this woman probably had been gang raped by the scum that took her captive. But as the weeks have gone on, its like either they dont have the balls to kill her or she's clearly on their side and willingly doing their bidding. I mean think about it, they set a new execution date of Febuary 26th. First off going by previous executions by these dogs they weren't so generous. It was three days and then a tape showed up with a beheading or the person in question getting a bullet to the head as they chant ALLAH AKBAR meaning God is Great.

My father came up with the notion that she might be a sympathizer and I'm inclined to agree. Of course it could just be that they dont want to kill her because killing a young attractive woman would not be good for their cause. Plus its been said this is some new group so theres that whole rookie jitter thing. I hope and pray that I'm wrong and that she isnt a sympathizer, but if she is you won't see me crying if they turn on her and kill her.

I think thats it for now, theres nothing much in the news that interests me. The NSA story should be a big deal but Bush and company are in spin mode and if you come out against going after terrorists your either a liberal or a cooke in the eyes of most people. I'm all for spying on our enemies, but this is a slippery slope and people in power have been known to take advantage of a small opening like this. FISA is in place for a reason and if Bush said fuck it I dont have to do it like that then he's broken the law and theres no getting around that.

Ah well I'm done for now. I'll have my Rant of the Week up sometime later today or tomorrow depending on my mood.

Oh yeah notice the support Denmark banners, well do it. All these people bitching about these cartoons can go suck it. I was offened as a Catholic by the South Park Bloody Mary episode but you didnt see me demanding Matt and Trey be beheaded.

I hope they spoof this one next season, Islamo Facists need to be humbled.

New column at Lethal is up

http://www.lethalwrestling.com/opinions/news_content.php?fileName=1149

The column is up and I might piss off a few people with what I said, but this needed to be said. He's dead and as much as I wish he would come back to life it's not going to happen. Vince needs to stop being desperate and let guys work for heat on their own. Orton doesnt need Eddie's corpse to get the crowd to hate him.

On a side note I'll probably have my other column up tomorrow. We're gonna get a blizzard sometime tonight. i wish the camera was working cause I'd get some great pics especially with 50 mph winds expected.

In the meantime read the column and tell me what you think. That is afterall why I do it. I love the attention.

I might also comment on some other shit in the news later. I have some thoughts on the Jill Carrol deal. Lets just say the word sympathizer is coming to mind about her and I'm feeling less sorry for her by the day.

My thoughts after watching Flight 93 on A&E

So yeah tonight after the state of the union speech thing was over I went to go watch The Sheild and during a commercial I came across A&E and they were replaying the movie they made about Flight 93. At first I honestly didn't want to watch the movie, but I started to and I must say it was a gripping movie to watch. The part where the terrorists took over the plane was very chilling. I still can't believe they did it with fucking box cutters. One of the dipshits was wearing what they said was a bomb but I'm thinking that part had to be more Hollywood then fact. How the hell do you get through security with a suicide belt?

Anyway by the end of the movie when the passengers stormed the cockpit and they were fighting to get in and as the plane was going down, I broke down and started crying. All the emotions I supressed since 9/11 just came rushing back and I had that same feeling of dread that I had that day. I cant even begin to imagine the Horror of the plane. Now granted theres plenty of evidence that suggests that plane was shot down, but whatever the case I thought the movie was excellent and it should at least win some awards next year.

But umm its 2006 and it's been roughly 1583 days since the attack. What the fuck have we honestly accomplished in this war on terrorism. Oh sure nothings happened here, but plenty has happened elsewhere. Why is it Usama Bin Laden and all of his ilk still breathing? Why is he allowed to talk shit every now and then? Why is it this country has the attitude of oh well it happened get over it.

But if that attitude isn't bad enough, the thing that pisses me off the most is the fact that alot more then what the official story of 9/11 is happened that day.

It's clear The World Trade Center was brought down by a controlled explosion and NOT the fires.

It's clear The Pentagon was NOT hit by a 757 Jet Airplane.

It's clear that 9/11 COULD have been prevented and it wasn't for what ever reason.

All I know is after watching this movie once again it shows that we owe it to every man, woman, and child killed on 9/11, their familes, and all the men and women who have died in the resulting war on terror in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I pray that one day we have that truth out in the open so we can all come to some peace.

Testing the new keyboard

Well I finally came into the 21st century and I got a new computer...sort of. It's my Uncle's old Dell and it's lightyears better then my now retired Gateway. The Gateway and I had many good moments as I created alot of internet heat on that.

The great Rants, the idiotic postings, the heartfelt thoughts. It was all good.

So now I'm using this new computer and my Uncle gave mea Logitech keyboard with it. It has a different feel to use. I guess it's designed to prevent carpal tunnel in the years to come. I'll break it in eventually.

Ah well I have another blog of sorts at JoeDavisOnline.com

I intend to go back to my political writing over there. The FFADaily.net experiment didnt go as I planned, but never the less I did write some good non-wrestling columns despite what has been said elsewhere. I dont take sides, I just shoot from the hip. Take this anniversery of Roe vs. Wade. There's a story on Drudge right now about how South Dakota wants to pass a law outlawing Abortion outright.

Someone really wants to test Alito out when he gets on the bench. I honestly dont know where to stand on him. On the one hand he's clearly Pro-Life but on the other he seems to follow the letter of the law rather then his personal beliefs. But back to this bill, should it get passed it's for show only. There is no way in hell it would stand unless Roe vs. Wade is over turned and the powers that be will not allow that to happen. They'll allow for restricting the hell out of it to appease the far right, but they won't allow for it to be banned all together.

The way I see it, Abortion is a necessary evil. I'm all for parental notification and banning certain procedures unless it's medically necessary, but it would be a dark day if it were ever outlawed outright. When it comes down to it if Roe vs. Wade is over turned then it goes back to the states to decide. If you live in a red state expect severe restrictions. If you live in a blue state like me expect loose restrictions.

The only way it will become a crime would be if the congress pass a law that can stand up to the supreme court's ultimate review. So the days of coat hanger abortions aren't here just yet.

Ah well who cares. Oil is about to hit $70 a barrell and we will be at war with Iran by the summer at the latest if not earlier depending on how long the Israeli's patienice lasts.

So yeah Abortion wont be that important in the grand scheme of things in the near future. Iraq will seem like a fucking cake walk compared to what Iran will be like.

My take on the strike here in NYC

Well its 4:12 AM right now in New York City and the T.W.U. have gone on strike shutting down all city busses and subways.

Now I'm all for fair wages and benefits, but the T.W.U. can take a long walk off a short pier for all I care. If this were Summer a walk out might not be so bad. But its 23 degrees out right now and with the wind in this city, walking will not be pleasant.

My brother has a final to take and he wants to walk from here to his school on the edge of Coney Island which is 5 Miles from here. What about the people who live in Queens and The Bronx who have to get to midtown Manhattan?

I think the state should step in and simply do what Ronald Reagan did with all the Air Traffic Controllers who went on strike.

Fire every striking bus driver, train motorman, conductor, token booth clerk, and any other job you can think of. It's a fair offer. If you come back to work, no harm no foul. If you dont then your out on your ass.

Like I said, the busses and subways are vital to this city. This city is going to grind to a hault with out it. Now if the first plan is to harsh, there's another solution.

Say it with me...They're called Scabs.

Have MTA Management, National Guard troops, State Police...what ever. Let the TWU strike, but that's no reason to stop the busses and trains.

And don't think for a second if your reading this that i'm on the MTA's side. They are equally as guilty in this mess. They should have just bit the bullet and came to a number that would keep these guys happy. I think they wanted 24% over 3 years...well give them 15%. It's better then the 9% I think they were offering to begin with.

All I know is this. It's going to be bitterly cold around here and the people of this city should not have to freeze their ass off just because a bunch of morons couldn't come to an agreement.

Sorry I was rambling a bit. It is almost 4:30 in the morning after all. Point is if they wont go back to work then we shouldnt have to suffer because of it.

New Column is up...Read it

http://thewrestlingvoice.com/columns/phantomlord/headlines/136917086.shtml

Click that link for the pop-up free version. The column as always is on NoDQ,com Wrestling-Edge.com, and WrestlingExposed.com

I basically examine why the WWE has not been giving us a product worth out money and I examine the Armageddon PPV and tell you if it's worth the money to order.

I also ask if I should finally retire The Rant of the Week and move onto the format where I post seperate columns on RAW, Smackdown, and TNA.

I also give you the reader a chance to take me on as I once again welcome anyone who wants to sign up at WrestlingUnited.com

So as usual read the column and tell me what you think. Feedback is appreciated no matter what it is.

Spread the joy to those who cant be here

If you know anyone in the Military or just wish to send some warm wishes, A friend of mind has opened up a website that allows you to do so.


ChristmasforTroops.com

This isn't about the politics of the war. This is about supporting our troops. If you don't wish to send them well wishes then don't visit the site. We will have no tollerance for spammers.

Ok it's a been a while (translation = I'm lazy)

Hey to the few of you who actually clicked on the link to my blog or if you came here by accident. I figure I would bless you with some random thoughts.

As I'm listening to Sean Hannity's show since nothing else is on, he has on Bill Donahue, Jerry Falwell, and Lee Helms talking about Christmas. Of course it's a fair and balanced fight...

This is really getting stupid. Falwell and Donahue are bitching about Christmas and how the communist American left is trying to get it banned. It honestly cant be as bad as the media makes it out to be. Now I like to think I'm a fair minded individual, but it makes me laugh to think that any time a Christmas tree is put up on public space is an endorsement of religion.

First off a Christmas tree is hardly a Christian symbol. It's technically a Pagan symbol but that little fact gets lost since it just wouldn't be Christmas with out a tree to put the presents under. So yeah it just makes me laugh when there's all this hooplah over this stuff.

We have a war that is a joke, people are dying, this country's economy and job market is in the tank despite what the numbers say, mother nature is in a bad mood and the weather reflects that. I could go on but I won't. My point is there is alot more to worry about then whether or not a Christmas tree is called a Christmas tree.

Well Bush is going to give a speech in a few minutes on Border Security reform. That's a joke if I've ever heard one.

Bah fuck this...I'm putting on some Maiden. I can't take this crap anymore and Christmas is only five weeks away.

And they wonder why so many people off themselves this time of year.

So appearently no one likes this new Bush nominee

Well I figured I'd give a shot at doing this political blogging stuff. So this morning I was listening to Imus and he says at 8 AM Bush is announcing the new nominee to replace Justice O'Connor. Now I'm an insominac and I sleep with the radio on just because I like to know whats going on during the day. So when I wake up I have Rush on a caller is talking about how Bush sold everyone out.

He nominated Harriet Miers and well no one knows who the hell she is. Everyone on the right is screaming murder because Bush sold them out because he's making the same mistake his father made in nominating someone with no real record so there's no way to know where she stands. Liberals on the other hand are praising this nomination so that pretty much tells you that the GOP is going to be inbetween a rock and a hard place come confirmation time.

Now I'm not a republican so I dont really care about their party issues, but we're going to see a good old fashion party split because of this. The party leadership is basically in line with Bush and then you have moderates who go against the grain so to speak.

But who is this woman causing all this trouble?

According to this article, there's a reason this unknown might get the job of a lifetime.

http://www.pnionline.com/dnblog/attytood/archives/002383.html

White House counsel Harriet Miers has never served as a judge before, and while this career "hard-nosed lawyer" (as she is invariably described) from Texas certainly deserves some kudos for a trailblazing career as a female lawyer, she's not a legal scholar, either.

But she does know better than just about anyone else where the bodies are buried (relax, it's a just a metaphor...we hope) in President Bush's National Guard scandal. In fact, Bush's Texas gubenatorial campaign in 1998 (when he was starting to eye the White House) actually paid Miers $19,000 to run an internal pre-emptive probe of the potential scandal. Not long after, a since-settled lawsuit alleged that the Texas Lottery Commission -- while chaired by Bush appointee Miers -- played a role in a multi-million dollar cover-up of the scandal.

Lets see if this bit of information comes out on the media in the next few days.

Thanks to my friends at http://www.conspiracycafe.net for digging that up. Its a great place to post if you want to know what is really going on.

So who knows whats gonna happen. I'm not going to waste my time with what if's. There's alot of time between now and the confirmation hearings. If the backlash is big enough she might just step down.

But call me crazy but I always thought you had to be a judge to even get nominated to the court.

That makes sense to me. Nominate a Judge to be a Judge.
