Sept. 26, 2011 - PPM - Facekooks

This week's PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) is about Facebook.

Everyone is complaining and moaning about the changes made to Facebook. "It's different."... "I don't like it." ... "Whaaaaaahhh!!!"

This just in, Facebook will change its privacy settings to allow Mark Zuckerberg to come into your house while you sleep and eat your brains with a grapefruit spoon. To stop this from happening go to Account> Home Invasion Settings> Cannibalism> Brains, and uncheck the “Tasty” box. Please copy and re-post. It will save lives.

Please stop complaining about changes to Facebook - IT'S FREE!!!

It's the same price you pay for the nice sunny day, the spring wind blowing through an open window, or the that bright, clear full moon on an Autumn eve. Absolutely nothing. (I should probably offer my prose to Hallmark.)

People, have you lost all perspective about what is important in life? Get real, in fact, GET A LIFE!!!

Sept. 22, 2011 - Loser of the Week - Cincinnati Veterans

This week's LOSER OF THE WEEK is the US Veterans in Cincinnati.

Obama had advocated targeted employment programs for our Iraq and Afghanistan military veterans. Cincinnati had started a program and had selected, many months in advance, to hold a "Jobs Fair" today at Paul Brown Stadium.

However, last week, Obama decided to use Cincinnati's Brent Spence Bridge as a back drop for a political rally. Because of this grandstanding, the Jobs Fair had to be cancelled by the Secret Service for security reasons.

Many ironies are easy to detect:

It's not a "Jobs' Speech" but a Tax Speech. The $450B is paid for by new taxes. It is not funded through normal government funds. It only "creates" jobs through wealth redistribution.

Highway officials say the Brent Spence bridge replacement plans are not ready and they don't plan to hire workers till 2015 or later - so Obama jobs bill doesn't apply. The $450B does not address this bridge. This bridge has been classified as "functionally obsolete." Which means it was not designed to handle the current capacity without traffic delays. But, it will not fall down!!! Using this logic, all of Los Angeles should be repaved and widened.

It's like living with a 3G Iphone instead of upgrading to the latest model.

Obama has said nothing to address the bridge from Louisville to Indiana that is now closed because it has structural cracks. This bridge closure is DIRECTLY affecting commerce and economics. Why not go there for a rally? I guess Indiana and Kentucky are not "Swing States."

Is it Irony or Poetic Justice that Obama's politics just got in the way of a "Community-based" jobs program.

You tell me.

Sept. 19, 2011 - PPM - Bark in the Park

This week's PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) is about a new trend, "Bark in the Park."

It's where Major League Baseball teams allow fans to bring their dogs to the baseball game.

It brings to mind three questions for me:

How did this start?
Why?
And, what can I do to STOP it?

I like dogs, I have one. But I have no desire to take my dog to a baseball game. I believe it started with the Montreal Expos. They had really poor attendance and needed a draw. Viola - le chien ? (That's almost all I remember from my high school French class.)

Why limit it to dogs? Why not snakes at Arizona Diamondback games? Pet fish at Florida Marlin games? Horses, albeit clydesdales, at Cardinal games.

I've never been a fan of large Parrots or mascots, as well.



Seriously. I don't like it when a neighbor dog marks his spot in my yard. Why would I want that to happen when I'm watching baseball?

It might be interesting to have a "Dog Day" at a Philadelphia Eagle football game. It would give new meaning to a "Sudden Death" game. But let's keep baseball, pet free.

Can we all agree that pets are fine, in their place, in their cage, and away from professional sports stadiums?

Stevie Wonder never had a dog with him at games. Why do normal fans need one?

I believe we should heed the lessons from the Planet of the Apes movies. Let's keep our pets on leases, in cages, and away from public venues. Otherwise, we may rue the day of, ......"The Bark in the Park."

Sept. 15, 2011 - Loser of the Week - Brian Kelly

This week's LOSER OF THE WEEK is Notre Dame Football Coach Brian Kelly.

No, he is not a loser because he lost his first two games this year, even though ND was a pre-season top 20 pick.

No, he is not a loser for the way he left the University of Cincinnati, even though he repeatedly denied that he would.

No, he is not a loser for dropping the F-Bomb more than 20 times in less than 5 minutes while discussing football performance with one of his players while he is the Head Coach for the largest CATHOLIC University.



Brian Kelly is a LOSER for his decision to chastise The Ohio State University for it's decision to play Toledo. Really?

Kelly decided to go this route in a conference call with reporters this week. He didn't want to talk about how his team can't play a whole game or has turned over the ball 10 times in 2 weeks. He wanted to bring attention to the fact that OSU played Toledo.

Kelly: Here's my revelation for you. Toledo will finish with a better record than Notre Dame and go to a better bowl game this year.

The only winner with your hiring at ND was the Dunkin Donuts franchise in South Bend.

Sept. 12, 2011 - PPM - No-Bama, No Jobs Bill

This week's PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) is Obama's new $450 BILLION "Jobs" Bill.

It is NOT a Jobs Bill. It is nothing but a repackaging and resubmission of previous Obama legislation that was previously rejected. More failed stimulus and more class warfare.

What makes this one different is the transparency that it is paid for with "Offsets”

However, when you read the bill, it is clear that there are no sources to pay for the bill. It kicks the responsibility to the new "Super-committee."

This same committee is already tasked with finding $1.5 TRILLION in cuts based on the Debt Ceiling deal from August. This makes the new goal of $1.95 trillion, in order to “pay for” the new spending. In reality, they won't ever agree on the original goal.

Obama has launched into a campaign-like, cross country trip to gain support for his Jobs Bill. The only problem is that even his own party is rejecting the proposal.

I may not have all of the answers to how to create the 2 Million jobs that have been lost since the Obama coronation. But I do know, more of the same failed policies and desire for "wealth redistribution" will not get it done.
