2009 Good Riddance

2009 was a really strange year most of my friends moved away and left Ohio.  Then I got hitched and I started establishing myself as an attorney and decided I want to focus primarily on being a Guardian Ad Litem.  The Buffalo Bills celebrated their 50th season by being absolutely terrible and painful to watch.  The Sabres seem to be having a good year and should make the Stanley Cup Playoffs.  I live in a ghetto apartment but the way Obama is running the economy it won't be long before everyone lives in a ghetto apartment a la socialism.  I was not found of 2009 and I will glad to see it go the way of the dinosaurs.  Here is to all my friends and family may 2010 be significantly better than 2009.  My thoughts and prayers go out to all the people who have lost loved ones over the past year and I pray for Rush Limbaugh that he may have a quick and full recovery.  Also finally I pray that in 2010 Obama will actually govern as the moderate he campaigned as and not rule as a far left partisian nut job like he did in 2009!

Yemen: The New Threat to America

Apparently with the war in Afghanistan and Pakistan punishing and making progress against Al-Qaeda and other terrorists in those countries has cause many militants to seek safe havens elsewhere. It is no surprise to anyone that Somalia and Yemen are emerging as new fronts on the war on terror. Yemen is strained as they are currently engaged in two wars: (1) a civil war against Shia rebels and (2) a war on Al-Qaeda. The recent underwear bomber was trained in Yemen and it is clear that America needs to stand behind Yemen and empower them to fight against the growing threat of extremists in Yemen. Yemen is a fragmented and weak state and this coupled with location and rugged terrain makes it an ideal location for Al-Qaeda and other affiliated agents of terror.  The Yemenis are calling on the West to step up their military aid and support in their ongoing campaign against terrorists operating on Yemeni soil. The real question is will the liberals in Congress have the courage to support another military expedition when they are already chomping at the bit to cut and run in Afghanistan. In my opinion, the Iraq war was a distraction and unnecessary but it has helped the liberals to cry foul on any subsequent war. Let this be a warning to President Obama and the liberals in Congress we cannot afford to allow terrorists to operate carte blanche in lawless regions such as Somalia and Yemen. America has to have the courage to fight just and necessary wars while avoiding or delaying attractive though ultimately unnecessary wars and the intelligence and foresight to know the difference.

Update on the Human Waffle: Liberal defense of Secretary of Homeland Insecurity Janet Napolitano and President Obama's lukewarm three day old response Does this explain the odd behavior from the White House you decide?  The anti-war rhetoric at the end is hilarious!  However, this woman should not be bad mouthing GI JOE I love that cartoon!

Retraction on Terrorism

Napolitano originally stated that the system had worked when passengers on a flight bound to Detroit stopped a terrorist who attempted to blow the plane up.  Today, Napolitano was forced to retract her rash and foolish statement and has since stated that the system failed when a suspected terrorist was allowed to board a plane with explosive material strapped to his body.  The question then became when did the system work? When it allowed a suspected terrorist on a no-fly list to fly? When it allowed a man with no passport from Nigeria to travel internationally to America? Or did the system work when it allowed this jihadist to board an airplane and attempt to blow him up? Well even Napolitano that paragon of intelligence and insight had to backtrack and admit that the system had failed in light of all the evidence of failure. It is scary that a person with known terrorist ties and affiliations was allowed to travel internationally with no passport and explosives while he was on a strict no fly list. Furthermore, the man's father had warned the authorities that he suspected his son was engaged in jihadist behavioral and espoused that violent ideology. What did the authorities in the Netherlands and America do the answer is nothing at all! They allowed this man to endanger the lives of innocent people by allowing him to fly in the first place.




This whole situation is laughable because this suspected terrorist on a terror watch list was allowed to board an international flight without a passport and fly. Around 2001, I attempted to enter Canada without a birth certificate and I was detained, questioned and forced to leave Canada. Subsequently, I was informed by a friend who worked for Canadian immigration that I was on a watch list. There are two points to this story: (1) we are less safe in 2009 than we were in 2008 and (2) The arbitrary nature in which Customs and Airport Security works is arbitrary, capricious and ineffective.  People have complained about President George W. Bush and his hard handed tactics. I can say this though between President Barack Obama and G.W. I felt much safer under the former POTUS than this current POTUS.

The knee-jerk reactions have already caused airport security around the U.S. to implement more restrictive and ineffective measures designed to make air travel safer, but as the past has show the new measures will only result in two thing frustration and delays.  The problem is that terrorists will never stop planning and contriving ways to overcome their perceived enemies and wreck havoc.  There was one simple way to prevent this near disaster without causing any discomfort or inconvenience to innocent passengers.  DO NOT ALLOW SUSPECTED TERRORISTS ON NO FLY LISTS TO BOARD PLANES!

Finally, arguments that state that focusing on people of Islamic faith and forcing them to go through extra scrutiny is also offensive and will be ineffective to preventing terrorism.  We do not need to focus on Islam we need to focus on terrorists and put these people of whatever faith on watch lists and no fly lists to prevent them from harming innocent people.  Religion is a red herring it has little to do with terrorism or probability of adhering to violent ideology.  Even if you could prove that Muslims are more prone to being terrorists and gut the personal freedoms of Muslims in America the country would not be one percent safer.  If we take away people's rights without cause or reason we cease to be a free country.  If someone is a known or suspected terrorist then strip search them interrogate them or ban them from flying but do not generalize stereotype or take innocent people's freedom regardless of their religious beliefs.

Moonwalker Jihad

Say it isn’t so Michael a moon-walking sequin glove wearing jihadi? Tito or Jermain maybe but not Michael no way I call bull on this allegation. Apparently the authorities feared that terrorists would use the Michael Jackson molestation trial as a soft-target opportunity to launch a terrorist attack on U.S. soil in 2004. At first this article grabbed my attention Michael Jackson with ties to Islamic terrorists then I dug a little deeper and found out this involves those imbeciles from the Nation of Islam. For those who are not familiar with the Nation of Islam they are wannabe black power thugs who masquerade under the banner and pretense of being Muslims when in fact they are simply idiots who have no affiliation understanding or relationship to orthodox Islam. Calling the Nation of Islam members Muslims is like calling the Moonies devout Christians.

 Apparently, Michael Jackson had some connections to the Nation of Islam which is just sad and disheartening to me as a rational human being and Jackson fan. Finally, I asked myself why it is news that Michael Jackson was aligned with pseudo-Islamic black power thugs isn't President Obama a pseudo-Muslim who hangs out with Reverend Jeremiah Wright and doesn't his election as Prez mean that anything he says or does is both righteous and pure. Leave Jackson alone he is dead and black power is the new social justice and so in vogue these days.

WINTER WONDERLAND

Note to self do not throw snowballs at disgruntled cops!  Oh also, the Obama administration promise of transparency and a new era in politics is crumbling as reports filter out that Obamacare is being passed through bribery and shady backdoor deals.  Do not worry Nebraska we have you covered here in Ohio just raise our taxes to ensure that Senator Nelson votes yes for socialized health care.  There is something definitely wrong in America today from cops bringing bullets to snowball fights to U.S. Senators using federal tax payer money as a slush fund to secure votes the US is sliding into third world status at an alarming rate.  VIVA OBAMA!  Teachable moment of today:  Senators are for sale and cops are cracking down on unsanctioned snowball fights.

Black Power Dude lives below me

I was sitting in my apartment attempting to watch a movie when some person below me starting ranting and raving black power anti-white diatribes. My favorite line was something about not being able to buy liquor or hookers in the ghetto without the white man' s interference this awesome dude ranted for about an hour. I just felt that it was awesome that since Obama's election more and more idiots are rambling about false race issues. Obama is the messiah and his election was supposed to begin a post-racial era in America there was one catch: No one told the black and white racists and they are still up to their same old race-baiting speeches. Obama's election has had zero effect on race relations because race relations are a joke in the sense that people get along with people and misanthropes still hate all humanity but masquerade under various banners to dress up the simple fact that they hate themselves and all of humanity. Race is a red herring and it is way too often played by the American left and the Democratic Party. I feel bad for the Democrats they are in bed with lunatics in order to form a political constituency. Also, I feel bad for the GOP having to be in bed with libertarians and the Christian Right. Bottom line no one cares about myopic and distorted views espoused by all lunatic fringe groups such as my Nation of Islam neighbor. Here is my ten cents "broth" the white man controls nothing more than the black man its all about money and money folds the same in all hands so get a life and stop watching MSNBC, listening to Jesse Jackson and Jeremiah Wright and finally your black power buddies murdered Malcolm.

Black Power Dude part 2

Apparently the 17 year old Black Panther who lives below me is once again expounding on his profound wealth of knowledge and wisdom.  He has been ranting about white people for two hours this is the same proud Black Panther who had a white girlfriend less than a week ago and was singing a song about having jungle fever.  My personal theory is that this idiot lost a white girlfriend and this has shown him the truly sinister and racist views of all whites in America.  What better authority than a failed relationship on which to base your perception of racial politics in America.  I hope for Christmas Black Power dude delivers a real zinger of a Black Power rant and I can gather around my non-existent Christmas tree and toast Obama and his historic election which ended racism (?), my neighbor and the baby Jesus.  Oh and one last thing when the neighbor was done ranting about white people and how much he hates us he played beatles songs on his guitar.  He strummed out songs from the "Abbey Road" album while his mother sang along.  I could not make this stuff up if I tried proud Prince of Africa stick it to the man by playing the whitest songs in America via England.

Running in the Cold

I decided to run outside today in the cold a feat which I had been putting off for approximately two weeks. Well today I caved in and finally gave up I put on my running gloves my running hat and my insulated layers and went jogging into the bitter teeth of winter and I realized that I love winter. I am so glad that President Obama is not going to let a minor detail such as violating the U.S. constitution stop him from saving us from global warming. The reason is because in all seriousness I love the winter and do not want the planet heating up. Forget about the polar bears because well I have never meet a polar bear and frankly I do not care if I ever do meet a polar bear so let them swim in vain or go chew off Al Gore's disgusting face. I want to prevent global warming because I do not like warm weather plain and simple! I love the feeling of walking on a cold winter day and breathing in deep as the air burns my lungs and the tips of my fingers. The feeling of winter is much preferable to the suffocating sticky feel of humid summer nights and besides I do not swim or like being semi-nude for various reasons.

So thank you Mr. Obama for saving the world once again while the Country slips into a deeper recession I truly appreciate your efforts and I know the polar bears do as well.  Do not trouble yourself Mr. President with pesky details like the Constitutional requirement that all treaties that bind the U.S. be approved by two-thirds of the Congress that is merely some silly idea dreamed up before you were President probably by that lunatic Bush.

On a serious side note people the Economy is getting better just sit back and listen to the sound of their sirens calling you into the rocks.  Get on the Obama express we are heading for paradise!  Banks you better pick it up you are making Obama look bad!  Please do not make him resort to his private stash because if he has to he will save Christmas with you guessed it OBAMA MONEY!

Blog as of late

I have not had internet access in approximately ten (10) days because my laptop broke almost two weeks ago that is why I have not been blogging as of late.  However, I want to remind everyone that with games in hand the Sabres are red hot 8-2 in the last ten games and have won four straight games to cruise to first place in the division. So far in the 2009-2010 campaign the Sabres are 20-9-2 so at least one team in Buffalo is amazing!  GO SABRES BRING HOME THE CUP IN 2010!

BILLS triumphant

Four second half interceptions helped the Buffalo Bills down the Kansas City Chiefs 16-10 on Sunday in Kansas City.  Jairus Byrd had his ninth interception of the season to become the Bills all-time leader for interceptions by a rookie.  Byrd has been amazing and this interim coach has gone 2-1 so far since Dick Jauron was fired.  Bills are 5-8 on the season but face a brutal stretch including a game against New England and finishing on the road against the Colts.  Go Bills!

Two of my all time favorite things

Honestly in addition to the Bill and Ted movies this is one movie in the history of cinema that stand above the best for comedy excellence and is probably a movie you have never seen or heard of and that movie is: FREAKED.  Honestly this movie changed my entire outlook on life and the few times that I have had the pleasure of meeting someone who has seen and loved this movie have been rare and poignant memories.  It is a very select fraternity you will be entering upon seeing this amazing movie and you should not take such an honor lightly.   Go out and watch this gem of a movie!



Oh and if you love Terry Gilliam then find this amazing gem as well


When you are ready for bed just put this amazing track on the record player and drift away

Acquittal: Victory for the Defense

Today I had a theft trial and my client was acquitted in under ten minutes! Yes you read that correctly I moved for a motion for directed verdict at the close of the State's case and won an acquittal when the Magistrate granted my motion. I have now moved my record to 2 wins and 2 losses I have crawled back to .500 this victory is sweet because victory for defense counsel are so rare!

On a lighter note, why are people still talking about Tiger Woods he is a loser who cheated on his wife multiple times and was probably high on pills and alcohol when he crashed his car fleeing his golf club swinging wife.   If only Mr. Woods were hardline straight edge he would have no issues with the wife and law.  

Developing Story

5 American citizens have been arrested in Pakistan on suspicion of terrorism.  Three of the suspects are Pakistani-American and one of the suspects is Egyptian-American and the other is Yemeni-American.  Not sure what is going on with this situation because the Pakistani government is not issuing any details at this time.  There is no word yet if this five suspects are the five students from Washington, D.C. alleged to be missing whom the FBI was reportedly searching for no word has been released if the five suspects are the allegedly missing students.  Update the captured Americans have confessed to entering Pakistan to engage in jihad or holy war.

NEVER FORGET

ABOUT OBAMA MONEY! Yes when the banks repay that Stimulus money I can finally get my Obama money! Now I know that you are worried about the economy and the rising unemployment but do not worry because the economy is the Republican's fault and not the failed economic policies of Obama. Obama told America yesterday in a speech that the Republicans ruined the economy (even though the Democrats controlled Congress during the majority of the Bush era and would have to approve any legislation) but that it is Obama's job to save the economy.  Sound familiar to anyone?  It should because Obama gave this speech during the 2008 Presidential Election and immediately after his inauguration and on several other occasions throughout the term of his short Presidency.  Bush started America's decline with TARP I and Obama pushed the car off the economic cliff with TARP II believe me there is plenty of blame for everyone.  However, it is all irrelevant because the political pundits have forgotten about the ominpotent power of Obama money.  Even if Obama's economic plans fail Obama has his stash of Obama money and he can deliver us from destruction after all that's why we voted for him right? 




First shoes now tomatoes

Apparently a guy in Minnesota tried to hit Sarah Palin with a tomato.  Whether you love or loath Sarah Palin this man is a loser for two reasons:  (1) he threw the tomato from the second story and missed by ten feet (2) he threw a tomato what a tool!   Apparently the man hit two police officers instead of his intended target, Sarah Palin.

Pakistani Powerhouse defends title

Amir Khan a Pakistani British boxer pummeled his opponent last night in a bout lasting a mere 79 seconds to retain his WBA boxing title. What surprised and somewhat offended me about an article from the Times of London was a mention of the two fighters’ religious beliefs and an ignorant comment regarding God or Allah. Amir Khan is a devout Muslim and his opponent Dmitriy Salita, from Brooklyn, New York is an orthodox Jew. The first thing that occurred to me upon reading this was what does it matter what religion these two fine athletes practice and why did this article even mention their religious beliefs. I follow boxing because I am a fan of the sport of boxing the religion of the fighters is irrelevant to me as a Muslim. At first I dismissed the mention of religious affiliation as a mere passing point but then the writer of the article followed it up with this gem of a line:


After the two men, one an orthodox Jew, the other a devout Muslim, had prayed to their respective Gods in their corners as the first bell sounded [.]

I just found this point irrelevant and misleading for one simple reason. Both Salita and Khan share the monotheistic belief that there is one Creator. There are not multiple Gods there is only one God and Mr. Khan and Mr. Salita believe in the one true Creator and they are children of Abraham. In closing, both of these men are God fearing people and I am happy to hear that in a world of classless athletes such athletes still exist and I wish both men the best of luck in their future endeavors.

Islamophobic Nazis

It would appear that all the Christian evangelists are correct the end of the world is upon bring on the apocalypse the boiling seas and the horsemen as neo-nazi islamophobes march in England.  Apparently an Anti-Islamic group in England has decided to take Islamophobia to new heights of ignorance and stupidity by throwing Nazi salutes while marching for intolerance.  Nothing says rational like Nazis and bashing Islam at the same time what can I say classy!

In other English news the English have an Afghan policy that might actually work!  The English government has cut funding to a hotline number which allows the British public to call in and report UFO activity.  Citing the fact that no credible evidence of UFOs has been gathered since the programs inception the British government has decided to throw the money into the Afghan war effort.  The money diverted will amount to approximately $77,000 USD and will probably be more effective than anything the current U.S. administration dreams up in the Afghanistan campaign.

Funny Joke

George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and go to hell.


While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for. The

devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth.



Putin asks to call Russia and talks for 5 minutes. When he was finished

the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Putin writes

him a check.



Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes. When

she was finished the devil informs her that cost is 6 million dollars,

so Queen Elizabeth writes him a check.



Finally George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours. When he was

finished the devil informed him that there would be no charge for the

call and feel free to call the USA anytime.



When Putin hears this he goes ballistic and asks the devil why Bush got

to call the USA free. The devil replied, "Since Obama became president

of the USA, the country has gone to hell, so it's a local call."

Pick on Pakistan

That seems to be the en vogue thing to do these days to pick on Pakistan and blame the Pakis for not capturing Osama Bin Laden. First Secretary of State Clinton attacked Pakistan for not doing enough to capture Osama Bin Laden and fight Al-Qaeda during her recent "trash our allies" tour through Pakistan. Now the leader of England PM Brown is attacking Pakistan and making the same lame brained argument about not cooperating with turning over Bin Laden. Pakistan's PM Yousuf Raza Gilani responded to Brown's claim by stating


“I doubt the information which you are giving is correct because I don’t think Osama bin Laden is in Pakistan[.]"

Lately all the liberals have been babbling about Bin Laden in my opinion this blame game is pointless for one simple reason: BIN LADEN IS DEAD! Yes, that is right I am convinced that Bin Laden is dead and burning in hell as we speak.  I have seen no evidence to the contrary that this mass murderer is still among the living. There has been no conclusive intelligence or evidence to the contrary and as such I believe that he died in Tora Bora. Now do not get me wrong I am not defending the Pakistani government they have always been and remain a bunch of corrupt cretins but let’s not place blame where it doesn’t belong or try to distort issues unnecessarily.

In related the news the reaction to the Afghan war speech given by President Obama has been universally negative and has been sharply criticized by both liberals and conservatives in the U.S. and the rest of the world. The Obama White House has repeatedly shown that it will throw allies under the bus literally and figuratively speaking. Obama's troop speech bombed in Pakistan and the rest of the world. No one believes in the U.S. under Obama's leadership because he is weak, petulant and comes across as a truckler. His administration seeks to blame others instead of focusing on real objectives and goals from President Bush to the government of Pakistan everything is someone else's fault to President Obama. Maleeha Lodhi a former Pakistani ambassador to the U.S. summed up the regions view of the Obama administration best when she stated:
"President Obama’s speech seems to be more about the politics in Washington’s beltway than credibly addressing a dire situation in the region [.]”

Memo to Taliban

Apparently Obama in an attempt to appease his liberal fanatic base decided to issue an open invitation to the terrorists in Afghanistan to take a breather and avoid unnecessary casualties. President Obama informed the enemy that he plans to withdraw U.S. ground forces from Afghanistan in July 2011.  Why then would the Taliban or Al-Qaeda expend unnecessary resources and send their lunatics into the teeth of a lion when they can simply wait for the lion to give up and leave. Showing the enemy your hand in a time of war is generally an amateur move and a sure fire recipe for failure. The truly mortifying thing about this bit of idiocy by our President is that he has effectively told our troops that they are fighting a war he has no serious intention of winning. It is beyond tragic that our President is going to send 30,000 young men and women into a region ripe with death and injury with the decision made in advance to not follow through with the objective of ultimately defeating the terrorists and making the world a safer place. Mr. Obama please stop the charade if you are not qualified or willing to lead our Armed Forces competently please step down before more Americans die in vain due to your incompetent attempts to appease your liberal base while still appearing dedicated to America's military. It is true that when someone attempts to be please everyone all the time they end up failing everyone.
