So our local paper has a sound off section. This is where local people call in to mostly complain about their neighbors dog, or politics, local happenings, things of that nature.

Lately the topic has been about how Joe Biden said he knew where Dick Cheney was hiding out during the Bush administration… in a bunker under his house.

The general consensus is that he’s releasing information that should be secret and that lives are put at risk when something like this is released to the public.  Uh.. what? Sorry, but I thought ol’ Dick was no longer a holder of any office of importance. Why does saying where he used to hide out even matter? Oh that right! It doesn’t. It’s just another nonsense talking point for the Republicans. They have nothing to say or criticize that matters, so they have to invent stuff.

Now. I think the part that gets me the most. Is that during the Bush years, there was this guy named Joseph Wilson. He was married to a chick named Valerie Plame Wilson. She was an undercover CIA agent.

He came out and said that the Bush administration lied about how Saddam Hussein was trying to buy yellow cake uranium from Niger. This made them angry as it was a corner stone of Bush’s 2003 State of the Union address and a “reason for going into Iraq”.

When Ambassador Wilson said that he’d investigated these claims and found them to be utterly baseless, that prince of a man Karl Rove outted Mr. Wilson’s wife to the press…followed by Lewis Libby and Richard Armitage just in case enough people weren’t listening to Karl.

Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure that it’s a federal crime to out a CIA agent? Isn’t there some pesky law on the books concerning that? Wait.. It’s coming to me.. OH YEAH! The Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982.

Were charges ever brought against those guys who actually released information that mattered? Hell No!

So enough about Joe Biden. No one cares where Cheney curled up in the fetal position and hid out when times got rough in America. That’s old news and he’s yesterdays garbage.

Now, could someone please take out the trash. It’s really starting to stink up the place.  Send it back to Jackson Hole, Wyoming where it belongs. Be sure to include all it’s sleazy, snake in the grass buddies too! Dick can use them for target practice!

There has been alot of talk lately about taxing things like soft drinks, beer, junk food, etc… Things that can have a negative impact on your health. Lots of people up in arms about all of this tax talk. Doesn’t the government take enough of our money already? I say lets put an end to taxes and while we are at it… lets end all the wasteful government spending that gets done with those tax dollars… Here are a few things I can think of off the top of my head…

Lets completely do away with the education system. Who needs an education anyway… all that money that could be saved by not teaching our kids could cut our taxes immensely.

From now on we should fix the road in front of our own houses and wherever we drive. To hell with letting the local and state governments do it. We should do it ourselves. Imagine the tax dollars that could be saved if we just do it ourselves.

Police? Fuck the police! Buy a gun and take it with you wherever you go. You can be your own protection. Provide your own forensics to investigate crimes and all the other wasteful things those cops do. We don’t need em anymore. That should save us billions.

Military? Fuck em. You have a gun now since there are no police, so you can be part of the new militia. Lets hope no bad guys attack with planes, boats and better weapons. But, just imagine the savings….

The CDC. We don’t need no stinking CDC.. especially with all these recent outbreaks of new flu’s and the near pandemic of swine flu. What the hell do we need these guys trying to research a vaccine for the swine flu and keep people up to date on the spread of the disease? Screw that. disband the CDC and let us take our chances with the virus. Maybe this pandemic will only kill 5% of the world population… then again.. maybe it will take 50% since there will be no one working to stop it.

And speaking of research. To hell with all this government money that goes to research and development projects.. I mean christ.. Who uses things like the internet anyway?

Come to think of it.. theres one more thing that we need to put an end to… All the fucking whining people are doing! Shut the fuck up and pay the extra 3 cents on your bottle of coke or the extra $2 on your case of beer. There is a big difference between the taxes being imposed by our government and the taxes that were imposed on the colonists more than 200 years ago that caused the real tea party followed by a revolution. The difference is that we are seeing something as a result of our taxes paid. ALL OF US! What the fuck every happened to ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country?

During the last election, Phil Graham said that we are a nation of whiners. While I disagree with the principles behind why he made the statement and believe that Phil Graham is a scamming motherfucker that should spend the rest of his days in prison for the legislation he helped to pass which in turn led to the economic issues we are facing today. He was right in the sense that we truly have become a nation of whiners. Everyone wants something from the government, yet no one wants to contribute. It’s getting old. Shut the fuck up, stop the whining, get off your ass and do something about it. If you don’t want to pay the taxes anymore, then find a better solution and run for office.
