NYC Mosque

I don't see the issue of the proposed islamic center in NYC - ground zero as a freedom of religion issue, but rather a legitimate concern of sedition. Islam is by design an adversary to all other form of government and religion. We should not welcome an Islamic center anymore than we should welcome an master race teaching institute.

Mexico for the undocumented

I think it's high time the U.S. liberates Mexico from it's centuries of corrpution and bondage.

Here's a way to get at least a 10 million spanish speakers onboard:
Every illegal immigrant in the U.S. will be granted 40 acres and a tractor after the overthrow of the political system and all it's corrupt beneficiaries have been disenfranchised.

It's be a lot easier than the ridiculous efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq, and in the long-run quite profitable to have a border nation of americanized landowners and businessmen working under a reasonable facsimile of a democracy.

I recommend we evacuate middle east post haste and leave these 14th century fools to their sacred fate.

Viva La Mexico - it's nation building time and we've millions of willing laborers.

Prove it

I'm trying to register with a company called Central Casting on the off chance I may get some work as an 'extra'. An 'extra' is a human prop. Being an extra is an excercise in self-annihilation. So imagine my dismay to find out that in order to be considered to be a 'nobody special' I have to provide a current passport, or driver's license and Social Security Card or birth certificate. Homeland security is cracking down dont' you know. I tell the guy that I have a passport but it's expired. That won't due he says - it has to be current. I tell him it's only ten months out and it does a very good job of proving I am who I say I am. It's a friggin' passport after all isn't it. Is a passport a fraud after it's expiration date? Son of a Bitch! A driver's license is no longer good enough, because the DMV passes the things out to anyone with a pulse. I've no friggin idea what's become of my birht certificate - I was born in 1957. The same goes for my social security card. All this hassle just to get some work being a nobody for eight hours.

JACKASSES AND PACHYDERM FECES

Sustaining 2 million unemployed is too much of a risk for the national debt, but saving 30 thousand union jobs for GM is vital? The congressional swine are hitting new lows every month. What is a citizen supposed to take pride in about his country? In California, it's considered necessary to increase fines and other so-called fees in order to prevent the layoff of government employees, also union jobs. There's more than enough to revolt against at this point - much more than anything imposed by Britain on the colonies.

300

Okay, so I finally watched this movie, and I gotta say this is a fascist fag's dream come true. I know it's for young men - but for fuck's sake it's nothing but homo-erotic horse shit. I actually found the slaughter boring.

Imagine the life of a real Spartan back then, because I know that at least according to historical accounts, the society really did put any child to death if it was less than a stellar physical specimen, and war was the beginning and end of Spartan culture.

What a Goddamned bore this must have been for anyone with an IQ above 85!

TAX ON SHIPPING?

WTF? The last two online purchases have included a tax on the shipping. In California, there was never a tax on services, only products. Since when and what slimy authority has now okayed this?

California is out of control. These greedy government parasites are slowly killing the host - you know private citizens that actually produce things.

Cinco de Mayo

It's a much bigger celebration in the USA than in Mexico, due I'm told to the marketing of beer. So all these ignoramus protesters have capitalism to thank for the celebration in the first place.

In any case, I've always wondered what Mexicans have to be so proud of anyway? The overwhelming majority of those in the USA legally or otherwise are here because their native country is so awful to live in.

It's the same with central and south America. So what's with the open hostility to the country you're in and the waving of a flag that represents what you've longed to escaped?

15 tear old pasta

I bought a package of spaghetti years back because the noodles where 18", long and the label looked cool. The package itself was simply a large piece of blue butcher paper that had been wrapped around a bunch of noodles, and cellophane taped closed with a colorful, old country-looking label. I thought it would be fun to cook them up and roll them on a fork. Because of the length however, there was no suitable container to store it in and I'd ended up placing the package on a high shelf in the kitchen. After a while it became a decorative object and was never opened.

I moved into my place in 1992. I know that I purchased the spaghetti not long afterwards. Today, I was making room for some liquor bottles and decided the pasta package had seen it's days. The blue paper had long ago faded to a dull gray, and the label had lost its charm. Out of curiosity I opened the package expecting to see the remains of weevils and powered pasta but to my surprise the noodles looked perfectly fine. I did a google search to see if there were any comments about the safety of old pasta and discovered an article out of Greece about grocery stores selling pasta that had past it's expiration date in the mid-90's.

I boiled up a bunch and ate them with olive oil and garlic. They were delicious. I'm still here to write about it.
