TRAITORS IN MICHIGAN 11/17/20:

Monica Palmer and William Hartmann are the 2 Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers. In an unprecedented attempt to invalidate the legal votes of almost 900,000 voters, these two racists have blocked certification of the votes cast in Wayne County, Michigan. That’s Detroit. Joe Biden won that county by 285,000 votes. There is no valid reason to block certification, and it is something that has never happened before. Up until now, the winning candidate has always won.
There is no evidence of voter fraud or other irregularities. These anti-American neofascists did this only to try to steal the election by canceling out the votes of black people. They hope that eliminating the results from Wayne County could give the 16 electoral votes in Michigan to Donald Trump. He would still have to steal the election in two additional states to “win”, although he has lost the election by approximately 6.75 million votes nationally.
Monica Palmer and William Hartmann. Remember them forever. They do not believe in the will of the people. They do not believe in democracy. They are treasonous snakes who have taken a stand against the most basic precept of American government. All good Americans should hold them in perpetual shame and contempt. They have grossly disgraced themselves and can never be respected or trusted again.

Mayor comes home late, choked by husband

Kemah Mayor Teri Gale stayed out past 2 am on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, and her husband apparently wasn’t happy about it. In fact, according to police reports, he choked her and broke her cell phone. Reports stated that he seemed to be intoxicated and smelled like alcohol. So the allegation is that he had been drinking. No one said what the mayor had been doing coming home at 2 am – was she also drinking? Or perhaps she was at a late-night prayer meeting?
Either way, there is no excuse for domestic violence. Still, the Kemah Police Chief has hailed her as a “hero” for getting her husband arrested. That’s a bit of a stretch, considering she wasn’t sitting home knitting Christmas sweaters – but after all, she does sign his paychecks!
Scott Gale was arrested on charges of domestic violence.

COPLAND: Clear Lake Shores

For decades the little town of Clear Lake Shores has been widely known as a speed trap. But recently, they seem to have upped their game beyond speed trap status. There is growing public clamor on social media that the department has (according to one quote) “mutated into a military-style gang of jack-booted thugs who lie in wait for those who dare to pass through their town.”
Fewer than 1,300 people live in Clear Lake Shores. There were 43 DWI arrests there between January and August of this year. During the same time frame, Seabrook Police arrested 50 alleged drunk drivers. There are more than ten times as many people living in Seabrook. So chances of being arrested for DWI in Clear Lake Shores are ten times greater than they are a few hundred yards away in Seabrook! Keep in mind that DWI is one of those crimes in which the police officer can make the call. He has discretion. If he chooses to believe you are intoxicated, he can arrest you.
There are currently 13 paid police officers working in Clear Lake Shores – which is one for every 100 residents. That is three times the average ratio. In fact, there is no other municipality in the entire state of Texas with more police officers per capita, by a large margin. The closest example I could find in Galveston County is a very similar community, Bayou Vista. Like Clear Lake Shores, Bayou Vista is a quaint place on the water with a lot of canal and waterfront homes. There are over 1,500 people living there, There are 4 police officers working there. They have 3 DWI arrests this year.
The officers working in Clear Lake Shores brought in $1.2 million in fines during the first 8 months of 2019. So, on an annual basis, the typical Clear Lake Shores officer will bring in $150,000 or more in fines this year, far more than twice the state average. It is also a 300% increase over last year. This is why people are saying the department is overpolicing.
And it isn’t just DWI arrests. They have made 71 marijuana arrests – mostly for small amounts that wouldn’t even get you a citation in most Texas towns. They have been charging locals on golf carts with DUI, as if someone driving under 10 mph on a side street poses some kind of public danger. They have ticketed drivers who failed to use a turn signal to enter their own driveway! Like I said, it’s way past speed trap status.
According to the 2010 US Census, 4 black persons live in Clear Lake Shores. This amounts to 0.3% of the population. Yet somehow arrests of non-Caucasians are 15-20%, which is about 50 times what it should be. Don’t be caught “Driving While Black” in Clear Lake Shores!
Investigative reporter Wayne Dolcefino has requested dash cam video from the police department, but the mayor has refused to provide access to these public records. Dolcefino has posted photos of Clear Lake Shores police parking across the street from the only bar in town, apparently waiting for patrons to leave. Yes, it’s illegal.
In the meantime, although we hate to do so, we are issuing an advisory to our readers to avoid traveling through what has become a Gestapo checkpoint in our county. There have been numerous cases of shady deals by the city government and police in Clear Lake Shores over a period of many years. It is apparently a roach nest at City Hall, and the roaches hate to see the light shined on them. This is shameful, and we strongly support the citizens who are sick and tired of it.

Gator’s Rant: Trump to meet with Putin

This coming week is where we all find out whether Donald J Trump is our President or Putin’s puppet. It all comes down to what happens next week when they hold their meeting at the G20 conference.

I hope Trump will do to Putin what he did to a mock CNN reporter in a video released last week – kick his ass.  The Russians are our enemy, and have been for a long time. We don’t need them to help us fight terrorism. Hell, they got their asses kicked in Afghanistan, remember that?

Our long history with the Russians goes back to the end of World War 2.  At the end of the war, we occupied some of the Axis territory. In the places we occupied, we established prospering democracies (Japan, W. Germany). In areas occupied by the Russians, they set up oppressive puppet regimes and enslaved the people. Not only that, they also planted missiles in Cuba, 70 miles off our coast.  Their leaders said things like “We will bury you!” to America.  They armed the Viet Cong.  They supported all of our enemies. We lived in fear of a mutually destructive nuclear war because of their aggression.

Russia, even going back 1,000 years, has always been oppressive to their neighbors.

But the main thing that pisses me off at them is that they tried to interfere with our elections by hacking voter systems in at least 31 states. To me, that is an act of war. This is certainly no time to be kissing their asses.

Not to mention that the Russians are backing Assad in Syria; have seized territory in Ukraine and the Crimea; are against NATO; and have interfered in elections of our allies.

While I’m mentioning NATO, let me say that it has been the most successful multinational agreement in human history. Prior to NATO, a war broke out every 20-30 years in Europe going back many centuries. Since NATO, nada. None. Zip. NATO keeps the bad guys, like Putin, in check. Trump ought to tell Putin that not only is NATO here to stay, but that we’re thinking of making it even bigger and badder than ever!

Putin is a very bad man. He assassinates people in his country and around the world on a regular basis. He and his cronies have robbed that country to make themselves rich.

Trump needs to tell that commie dictator that he had better call off his dogs, or expect an ass whipping. Period.  It is time to issue a smackdown the Russians, and the only guy who can do that is our President.

If he fails to do so, it will prove to the world that he has no balls and does not deserve to lead this great country.

Illegal Immigrants Returning To Mexico For American Jobs

PROTESTERS NEAR THE US-MEXICO BORDER

As dozens of major American corporations continue to move their manufacturing operations to Mexico, waves of job-seeking Mexican immigrants to the United States have begun making the deadly journey back across the border in search of better-paying Mexican-based American jobs.
“I came to this country seeking the job I sought when I first left this country,” said Anuncio Reyes, 22, an undocumented worker who recrossed the U.S. border into Mexico last month, three years after leaving Mexico for the United States to work as an agricultural day laborer. Reyes now works as a spot-welder on the assembly line of a Maytag large-appliance plant and earns $22 a day, most of which he sends back to his family in the U.S., who in turn send a portion of that back to the original family they left in Mexico.
Like many former Mexican-Americans forced by circumstance to become American-Mexicans, Reyes dreams of one day bringing his relatives to Mexico so that they, too, may secure high-paying American jobs there.
Despite the considerable risk illegal immigrants face in returning across the border, many find the lure of large U.S. factory salaries hard to resist – these positions pay three times what Mexican jobs do.

There is an increasing motivation to return before the Trump administration constructs the proposed border wall. “When the wall is built, we will then be trapped in the United States, and have no way to get back into Mexico,” said Carla Benitez, an undocumented worker in Laredo; “So now the ‘coyotes’ who get paid to smuggle people across the border are making money both ways.”

The danger is very real. When 31-year-old illegal Texas resident Ignacio Jimenez sought employment at an American plant in Mexico, he was shot at by Mexican border guards as he attempted to illegally enter the country of his citizenship, pursued by U.S. immigration officials who thought he might be entering the country illegally, and he was also fired upon again by a citizens volunteer group called the Minutemen.
They eventually fished him out of the river and sent him back to his job washing dishes at TGI Friday’s in McAllen.
Strangely, the trend of illegal re-emigration is causing great resentment among the local Mexican population, and tension between Mexicans and illegally re-entered Mexicans – called “repatriados” – continues to build.
“I hate these Mexicans, always coming back here to Mexico from America and taking American jobs from the Mexicans who stayed in Mexico,” said 55-year-old former Goodyear factory manager Miguel Diaz, who says he lost his management job to a better-trained repatriado last March.
“Why don’t they go back to where they went to and leave our jobs alone?”

Flying Saucer crash at Roswell in 1947

In 1947 an object crashed to the ground near a ranch in New Mexico. The object was officially stated to be a United States Air Force Balloon by the United States Military. This was generally accepted until the 1970s when a variety of Extra Terrestrial related theories began surfacing. The Rancher who saw the crash, William Brazel, is reported as saying that indestructible metal no wider than tinfoil was found with strange markings etched upon its surface. The writings/etchings were in different colors with different geometric patterns. Brazel came under severe pressure from government officials. A column written by the current local newspaper at the time ran with the headline “Harassed Rancher Sorry he ever told about it”. It was not only Brazel who noticed the disk. A number of people have claimed to have seen debris from the flying object strewn over a wider area.

Here is the radio news broadcast heard that day:

Trump Asked White House Janitor for “Loyalty” Oath

Luther Rabble, who was fired from his job as janitor at the White House last month, was apparently asked to swear his loyalty to the President in a one-on-one meeting inside the White House in February.
“The whole cleaning crew was there,” Rabble told a Gator Press reporter in an exclusive interview, “But he shooed the rest of the folks out until it was just me and him. Then he grabbed me around my throat and shoved me up against the wall, and said in a real low voice ‘I need you to be loyal to me’ and then let me go. I told him he could expect cleanliness from me, that I would be loyally clean.”
Rabble also said the President asked him to keep quiet about a case of toilet tissue that had gone missing from the office of former Director of National Security Mike Flynn, saying, “I hope you can just forget about the whole Flynn toilet tissue thing.”
After the meeting with Trump, the janitor, who had served as a government janitor for over two decades, says he immediately wrote a memo, detailing exactly what was said. He later leaked that memo to a reporter. He was fired by the President two weeks later.
Rabble is now a private citizen, and has found work as a self-employed pharmaceutical salesman.

A Gringo visits Mexico

Traveling in Mexico is fun except for a few minor details. Like for instance, you have no idea what anyone is saying to you. And you imagine that the parts of the conversations you don’t understand are something they will laugh about with their friends for many years to come:
Me: How much is this T shirt?
Vendor: The T shirts which we are happy to sell to fat asshole gringo pigs like yourself for twice their real value are only 1200 pesos.
Of course, the only part of it that I can understand is “1200 pesos“. That’s why they are always smiling so much.


The truth is that you don’t need to know Spanish because everyone you interact with can get by in passable English anyway. So they wait patiently while you butcher their language and then ask you what you want in English.
There are many cultural things to learn in Mexico that are not mentioned in any of the guide books. (Actually, I haven’t read any guide books, but I’m sure some things would not be mentioned in them.)
For example, hotels in Mexico use the Mexican towel system.
You have to sign out towels like books in a library and if you don’t return them to the front desk by 8 PM they charge your room the full cost of the factory that made the towels in the first place.
A lot of travelers are worried about the drug dealers, kidnappers, and other criminals who run the country, especially in the border cities. Such fears are silly. One good Texan can quite easily kick the collective asses of an entire gang of  Mexican gangsters, and they are very seldom brave enough to hassle us.  If you are accosted by a thug or criminal type, just flat out tell him something like:
“Pardone, monseur, but Ich bin ein Texan and you best keipen der fuchen mitzengrabbers offenhousen!”
The most interesting part of being in Mexico is the way you are viewed as a gigantic dollar bill with arms and legs.
If you walk within 500 yards of any commercial establishment you are sure to be immediately assaulted with offers to sell you something, feed you something or do some unspecified thing to your body. “Here, amigo, we have the biggest lobsters in town and a place is waiting for you at the best table in the restaurant where our waiter will massage your back and serve you the best tequila for only 5,000 pesos.”
Many merchants have perfected their lines over the years. My favorite was at a jewelry store in Nuevo Progreso:
Two men leaped up from their chairs with open arms and shouted in a loud voice. “Ah welcome, welcome… We have been waiting patiently for you, Se?or!”
No one ever says this in real life. “Where the hell have you been” is the usual line. But here in Mexico, I am the Messiah come at last!
So I responded in a grande way, “Yes, yes, I have been waiting for you too. At last we are all here together. Now we can sit with our muchachos in a chalupa with our lumbago and drink a sombrero!”
I don’t want to be the ugly American. But no matter what you do you seem to fall into the role anyway. So you are tempted to give up.
“No, gracias.” you say repeatedly without eye contact each time you are asked to look at or buy something.
I’m sure if I were in a car accident and the ambulance attendants came to help me I would say “No gracias” and be left for dead by the side of the road.
I can’t say I’d blame them.

UFOs / Flying Saucers are in the immediate vicinity

A careful examination of this photo, taken in San Leon, shows what appears to be three flying saucers.

The US Government is never going to disclose what really was found at Roswell, New Mexico in 1951, when a “flying disk” containing 4 small humanoids crashed there. The Army Air Force initially reported the crash of a UFO and the recovery, then later retracted the story. As a former military newsman, I can assure you that something like this would never have been given out to civilian news outlets until it had been confirmed. The public affairs officer at Roswell Army Air Field verified the facts before releasing them to the wire services, where the story made front page news across the US.
What they Army found at the crash site was reportedly some little guys about 4 feet tall, with very pale skin and huge eyes. Others have seen the same kind of little guys since then. They’re called “Gray Aliens” by UFO conspiracy theorists.
But they are not from outer space. They are actually from Earth.
The skin with no pigment and the large eyes indicate a subterranean creature, living in near complete darkness. These fellows die quickly in direct sunlight, which is exactly what happened to two of the humanoids who were reportedly still alive for awhile after the crash.
The craft they were in was small, and very lightweight. Not the sort of thing you would travel through space in. When you consider that the nearest habitable planet for humanoids is 300 light years from here, the idea that they would fly a tiny ship such a vast distance seems unlikely. Humanoids require food, water, sleeping quarters and other things, especially on a 300 year voyage.
The saucer at Roswell came from Earth, as do all flying saucers.
Here are a few of the logical reasons to believe this is so:
1. Sir Edmund Halley, the mathematician and astronomer who first discovered Halley’s Comet, proved that the Earth is hollow. He did so by measuring the mass of the Moon based on the tides, and comparing it to the mass of the Earth. His calculations prove that the Earth must be at least partially hollow. His work was commended by Isaac Newton and others, and remains provable.
2. Mass UFO sightings only started 2 weeks after the first Atomic bombs were exploded. Sightings have always been more common in areas where nuclear tests occur. That’s because these explosions shook the Earth, and the people who live below noticed it, and decided to investigate.
3. Reliable UFO sightings have always occurred at low altitudes, low enough for humans to breathe without bringing oxygen. UFOs operate in the same range as helicopters. Obviously they are made for low altitude surveillance. The disk shape is not desirable for travel through space, but is perfect for providing maximum lift with minimum power, as any Frisbee enthusiast will tell you. This is a design which was created specifically for use in an atmosphere.
4. Sightings of “alien” humanoids are always described as hairless. The lack of hair indicates they live in a place where there are no temperature extremes. That’s exactly the environment that is likely to exist below.
5. Credible sightings occur at night. That’s because the little guys down below are blinded in sunlight, but they see clearly in darkness. Their eyes have evolved to function in a realm where there is very little ambient light. In fact, bright light is a weapon to our underground friends, and they have been known to use it. There have been numerous UFO reports in which bright light was reportedly used to disorient witnesses. In fact, the only “weapon” these guys have ever been known to use against humans is light.
6. Every human civilization has stories of the little people who live below.
There are more reasons to believe in an underground race of humans than there are to believe they have come here from another planet.
So we have no need to fear visitors from outer space, at least not at this time. But it might be a good idea to realize the true nature of UFOs and the little aliens who drive them. They might have some technology which could keep us from totally wrecking our planet, and make our lives better. Or maybe they will just kill us.
Either way, they are our neighbors and we do have common ancestors.  (GATOR)

Make me laugh…

Dave is sitting in a bar and notices two lovely women across the way.
He calls the bartender over and says, “I’d like to buy those two beautiful ladies a drink.”
The bartender replies, “It won’t do you any good.”
Dave, with a confused look on his face says, “I don’t care what you think, I want to buy those ladies a drink.”
The bartender delivers drinks to the ladies and the women acknowledge their drinks with a nod of their heads.
Twenty minutes later, Dave approaches the ladies and says, “I’d like to buy you two another drink.”
One of the ladies said, “It won’t do you any good.”
Dave says, “I don’t understand. What do you mean it won’t do me any good?”
The first lady says, “We’re lesbians.”
Dave asks, “Lesbians? What are lesbians?”
The second woman replies, “Lesbians… We like to lick pussies.”
Dave says, “Bartender, three beers for us lesbians.”

Buddy and Earl were standing at the urinals in a public lavatory, when Buddy glanced over and noticed that Earl’s penis was twisted like a corkscrew.
“Wow,” Buddy said. “I’ve never seen one like that before.”
“Like what?” Earl said.
“All twisted like a pig’s tail,” Buddy said.
“Well, what’s yours like?” Earl said.
“Straight, like normal,” Buddy said.
“I thought mine was normal until I saw yours,” Earl said.
Buddy finished what he was doing and started to give his old boy a shakedown prior to putting it back in his pants.
“What did you do that for?” Earl said.
“Shaking off the excess drops,” Buddy said. “Like normal.”
“Fuck!” Earl said. “And all these years I’ve been wringing it out like a dishrag!”

A man was lying in bed with his new girlfriend in a hotel.
After having great sex, the girlfriend spent the next hour just rubbing his testicles – something she loved to do.
As the man was enjoying it, he turned and asked her, “Why do you love doing that so much?”
“Because” she replied, “I really miss mine.”

Mike and Frank are sitting in a bar sipping Johnny Walker Black Label when Frank noticed a gorgeous blonde sitting by herself in a corner.
As he was getting up to talk to her the bartender said, “Hey don’t worry about her, she is a lesbian!”
Frank, “Lesbian or no lesbian, I get all of them,” and he stylishly holding his whiskey in his left hand walked to her table.
Then stepping forward in a very sexy voice he said, “Where exactly in Lesbia, you from?”

Jerry walks into a bar ordered two shots of vodka. He drank the first and poured the second over his right hand.
Then he ordered another two shots of vodka, drank one and tipped the other over his right hand.
After watching Jerry do the same thing for third time, the bartender asked, “Why do you keep wasting good drink?”
Jerry slurred, “If you must know, I am trying to get my date drunk.”

A family is at the dinner table. The son asks the father, “Dad, how many kinds of boobs are there?” The father, surprised, answers, “Well, son, a woman goes through three phases. In her 20s, her breasts are like melons, round and firm. In her 30s and 40s, they are like pears, still nice, hanging a bit. After 50, they are like onions.” “Onions?” the son asks. “Yes. You see them and they make you want to break down and cry!”
This infuriates his wife and daughter. The daughter asks, “Mom, how many different kinds of penises are there?” The mother smiles and says, “Well, a man also goes through three phases. In his 20s, his penis is like an oak tree, mighty and hard. In his 30s and 40s, it’s like a birch tree, flexible but reliable. After his 50s, it’s like a Christmas tree.” “A Christmas tree?” the daughter asks. “Yes: Dead from the root up, and the balls are just there for decoration!”

How can you tell if you’re making love to a teacher, a nurse or an airline stewardess?

Doctor, “What seems to be the problem?”
Patient, “Doc, I’ve got the farts. I mean I fart all the time,”
The Doctor nods, “Hmm.”
Patient, “My farts do not stink and you can’t hear them. It’s just that I fart all the time. Look, we’ve been talking here for about 10 minutes and I’ve farted five times. You didn’t hear them and you don’t smell them, do you?”
“Hmm,” says the Doctor,
He picks up his pad and writes out a prescription.
The patient is thrilled “Great doc. This prescription, will it really clear up my farts?”
“No,” sighs the Doctor, “The prescription is to clear your sinuses. Your nose must be all stopped up. And next week I want you back here for a hearing test.”

She asked ” Do you know what it is?” Johnny replied “No.” The teacher said, “Go ahead and open it up and taste it.” Little Johnny did so. The teacher then asked, “Now do you know what it is?” Little Johnny said “Noooo.” The teacher said, “I’ll give you a hint….it is something your daddy wants from your mommy every morning before he goes to work.”
A little girl in the back of the class jumps up and screams.
“JOHNNY, SPIT IT OUT……….IT’S A PIECE OF ASS!”

Johnny: Sure, out in back of the church yard.

Q: Why is the roach clip called a roach clip?

Hands Off My Happy Hour

Nobody should be allowed to use the term “Happy Hour” unless they serve booze.
It pisses me off to see a daycare center with a “happy hour” sign – unless they’re willing to serve up some liquor to the parents, in which case I’d be more inclined to allow it.
Taco Bell, that authentic taste of Old Mexico, has now introduced “happy hour” – I’m not sure what it is, but you can bet your ass there’s no alcohol involved.
Starbucks now has a happy hour. But they still don’t serve any kind of booze.  There are an untold number of restaurants which advertise their version of happy hour, with not one drop of John Barleycorn on the premises.
So how in the Sam Hell can they call it happy hour, when there isn’t anything happy about it? Happy Hour with no liquor is like sex without the girl; a bank account with no money; Stevie Ray without his guitar.  It’s going to be a pretty lame happy hour without the juice, is it not?

Starbucks has introduced a lame yuppie version of Happy Hour for suburban Mollies & Milktoasts…

The phrase “Happy Hour” was first created by sailors in the British Navy. For one hour a day before “taps” sent them to their bunks, the sailors would get their ration of grog and have a little drinking party on the main deck.
It was always about the grog., and skippers who didn’t give out the sauce didn’t have any happy hours, just a gang of sullen angry guys with bad attitudes. Can you blame them?

“Happy Hour at Home” with no booze, and also no meat. WTF is wrong with this picture? Has Happy Hour turned into a schmuck in a bow tie with some veggies, at home?

There are even churches with happy hours now.  One advertises this: “Our Happy Hour gatherings include informal networking time and an opportunity to relax after the work day.”
First and fucking foremost, it’s hard to relax inside of a church. Next you’ve got all of these bastards trying to “network” with you. That’s gotta be as bad as a swarm of angry mosquitoes. And finally, there’s no booze.
Why would you willfully and intentionally subject yourself to such torment?
I guarantee you, I could do a lot better at “informal networking” – if I cared to do so – at any neighborhood watering hole.  The glow of cocktails lubricates the process, making it easy to make connections.
As for relaxing after the work day, that just ain’t going to happen at church. How am I supposed to relax, when lightning from heaven may strike me dead at any moment?
Oh sure, lightning can theoretically strike me down at the corner pub, but have you ever seen it happen? I haven’t.

Happy Hour at 8 in the morning, with Jesus, no booze, and a guy who looks like a pro wrestler passing on marching orders from the almighty… sounds like a real blast… You go on ahead, I’ll catch up with you…

All of these phony happy hours irritate me. It makes me want to walk in the place and order a shot of Bombay Sapphire. “Calling Dr. Bombay, come in Dr. Bombay…”
Another baronym (bar word) that’s being misappropriated is “shot” – as in, “gimme another shot of that rotgut horsekiller whiskey.”
These days, you can get a “shot” of energy drink, juice, coffee, and yogurt.  None of them have a trace of alcohol in them.
Is nothing sacred anymore? Will “happy hour” degenerate into some stupid fucking Walt Disney family-friendly hour of spending money without relaxing?  How can a tradition so pure and good be abducted by the soul-less corporate automatons who scrabble over your last twenty bucks?
If I ever decide to have a “happy hour” at my printing shop, there will be plenty of booze and mixers. That’s what happy hour means.


Some of you ignorant Yankee yuppies out there might go down to the smoothie shop at happy hour and do a couple of shots of some fruity boozeless cocktail.
Then you can get up on your hind legs and pretend like you’re supposed to be a real man.
I‘ll be keeping it real, Happy Hour that is, down at the local bar…

Move over, asshole!

It is now against the law to get in the passing lane and drive at the speed limit in Texas – that’s the left-hand lane for those of you who are too dumb to know that. The police are out writing tickets at this very moment.
I hope they catch you, you son of a bitch. I hope the cops see you in your stupid dually roadhog – which you can’t even drive worth a shit – tooling down Gulf Freeway going 56 mph in the passing lane, and pull you over.
While you’re blocking everyone else who is actually trying to get somewhere, you’re all spaced out, talking on your Galaxy phone and sending tweets out to your twats or posting your lame loser status on Facebook.
Can’t you move that goddamned behemoth over into the slow lane (that would be the right lane) and creep along where you’re not stopping me and everyone else? Must we all rust up while we dawdle along behind you?
You might not realize it, but the rest of us driving down the road are not on a fucking sightseeing trip. We’re not out there driving just to catch a glimpse of the beautiful sunset silhouetting the refinery towers. We’re driving because we are going somewhere where we can drink, smoke, fuck, talk, eat, make money, and buy shit, you slowpoke fuckhead.
I hope they pull you over and strip search you on the side of the road.
I hope you forget your court date, a warrant is issued, and they serve that warrant at your job, where everyone can see how you look in a pair of handcuffs. Then, I hope they put you in a filthy cell with a big mean hairy tattooed parole violator with a fucked up nickname like “Mister Happy” or “Bang Bang.”
It‘s no longer legal for you to get over to the left and say to yourself “I‘m doing the speed limit, so back off motherfuckers.” The great State of Texas has decreed that those of us who haul ass should have the exclusive use of the fast lane. So please move out of the way, lardass. I ain’t got no time to waste.
Trust The Fonz:
Hi senior citizen, it’s your friendly banker here, and have I got a deal for you.
Remember how I financed your house for you? Remember how you paid me a total of $450,000 for a house that appraised at less than one-fourth of that amount?
Remember how I told you that a home was the best investment you could ever make?
Well, now I am ready to buy that house from you for a whopping $35,000! Yep, isn’t that great news? It’s a new thing we call a “reverse mortgage” and you might have noticed a bunch of has-beens on TV talking about it, trying to sell you on the idea.
Fred Thompson, Robert Wagner, and even the Fonz are all selling reverse mortgages. So you know it has to be a good thing.  Of course, none of them has signed up for one…
The fact is, these are tough times for bankers. We’ve managed to devour almost all of the pensions and retirement plans in America, and we have screwed the working man until he really ain’t got a pot left to piss in.
So now we must turn our sights to seniors, who are the last segment of society that holds any significant wealth. Most of that wealth is tied up in family homes, so that is what we’re now going after.
Luckily for us, the US government is allowing us to get away with a greedy scheme which might eventually become the largest collective fuck-job ripoff in history.
Basically, the way it works is, we send you a check every month for a couple of hundred bucks while we wait for you to die. You still have to pay the taxes, insurance, and upkeep on the property, so your net is going to be pretty close to zero. Then, as soon as you’re dead, we swoop in and take possession. You won’t have to worry about your heirs fighting over the house, because we will get it.
Then, we will slap a coat of paint on it, sell it for a half-million to the next moron to come along, and then steal it back from him as soon as he gets old and realizes he can’t live on Social Security either.
So, in the final analysis, you were merely renting that house from me. It was mine before you bought it, it was mine while you were paying on it, and it will be mine when you’re dead and gone. So shut up and sign.
Line up, senior citizens, and sell the family legacy for chump change to a guy who hopes you won’t live much longer.

Karaoke singer signs with Columbia Records

Brenda Starr has reached the pinochle of success after signing a record deal with Columbia Records.

Local karaoke singer Brenda Starr announced this month that she has signed a contract with Columbia Records.
Starr is known for her stirring and seemingly interminable rendition of “The Rose” and her saucy stylization of the song “Fancy” first made famous by Reba McIntyre.
She has been known as much for her onstage antics and showmanship as for her singing. Starr often flashes her tits and makes sexual peccadilloes to the audience.
Her outfits are typically skin-tight and brightly colored, and her fans (both of them are males) never know what to expect.
Columbia, which is now fully owned by the Sony Corporation, remains the world’s largest recording company.
Terms of the contract signed by Starr were not immediately available, but it is believed that Columbia will send Starr 6 CDs for $1, after which she must purchase six of them at the regular price during a 12 month period.
