Get ready to vote Democrat next year and get thse Republican scumbags out of office, hehehe

It would be the best thing to happen to this country. A few dead right-wing sociopaths would be a good thing.

There is a growing contingent of people that think the recent weather is proof of weather modification from old Russian technology sold to the Japanese and they are using it as revenge for Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Sounds pretty crazy on the surface, but GEEZ. Look at this crap. Tropical Depression to Cat 5 in less than 24 hours. That has got to be some kind of record.

In case y'all are ready to take that step into conspiracy land, here is a good stepping stone. [Disclosure Notice: I am involved with the blog linked, not intended to be blog spam]

Heh... you'd think since the decision for Fat Man & Little Boy came from the old War Dept. that revenge for those would be waged toward the D.C. area, not the Gulf Coast. *shrugs*

I for one would like to see the religious nutcases whether they are political involved or not, all driven towards the ocean and swept away. Kurt Vonnegut was on REALTIME with Bill Maher about a month ago and he made the comment that he really beleives that mother nature sees us humans as a plague on this planet, therefore, she is trying to get rid of us.. Makes sense to me.

I can all ready see the tv-movie-cartoon: "Mrs. Flinstone's back, and SHE'S PISSED." After years of abuse from that square-headed neandertal, Wilma is reincarnated as a hurricane. Starring: Kirk Cameron, Suzanne Pleshette, Dean Kane. LIFETIME 8pm, Oct 22

Damn, I thought the Fred's A Wifebeater thing would be enough...

It's too bad none of the hurricanes was named Pebbles, then you could say something like "WILMA COMES TO AVENGE!!!!"

Besides, I'm thinking K.C. will eventually fall off the TVangelical bandwagon and someone needs to hire hasbeen actors that have burned all their bridges/rebounded from heavy drug use/disavowed starring in gay bukkake movies/was involved in the white slave trade/really no talent to speak of. ;o)

I agree on both counts. Ever watch FAMILY GUY? They did a skit about LIFETIME once...."Lifetime, television for idiots." LOL

A "shot of Jim Cantore on tv being blown" ... now there's an image I'll take to bed with me tonight.

I agree... liked the beef much better. But I'd still like to get him out of his wet clothes and help him warm up.

OTOH...? That's a new one for me. I'm trying to figure out what that stands for. On the Old Hose? Over the Out House? Only Tackles Occasional Homos?

BTW, whose the hot hunk pictured on your last reply to my post?

Thanks for the name and the extra pic of Erwin. I started a reoccuring column on my blog last month titled "Men I Would Like to Photograph." I think you just might have handed me tomorrow's entry. ;)

I dunno.... We've been noticing this hurricane season that Jim Cantore seems to be the go-to-guy when you want to be safe and out of the path of the hurricane. He consistently seems to be sent to the place that the eye misses. On the other hand, CNN's Rick Sanchez seems to have spot-on accuracy when it comes to landing the big blow. And he looks mighty fine in a wet black t-shirt too :P

must be the SouthBeach mafia connections ;^)

I don't bother watching news from the major media corporations anymore simply becuase I don't beleive anything that they say. I get most of my media sources from the independants and from bloggers/newsgroups.

I agree with you. One reason why I don't watch TV as much anymore. FOX NEWS is PROPAGANDA MACHINE for the radical right. I work out at home anyway. Been lifting for almost 2 months now to vent my anger from the stresses of the shop. Seems to help. The chest pains aren't as frequent plus i feel much much stronger.

hehehe, the only beefy guy that would do that is my partner...and his idea of stress relief is getting laid OR lighting up. He's never hit weights in his life. I started doing this shit when I was engaged to my then ex-fiance, then met him and stopped. Like I said, the only reason I'm doing this shit now is becuase I need to take a form of anger management, and reduce my stress level (becuase of the chest pains). The ideal thing thing would be is for me to get completely out of the field I work in and I will in time.

I've been doing it for 7 years J. I've had enough. It is a very tough field to work in. I'm glad that I know what I know and I've made many connections over the years and know exactly what to look for in a car. I advise people on what to buy and what NOT to get.

it was always in my blood J, that's not the issue. It's just that the job is seriously starting to affect my health. Out of all the vehicles you have listed, my personal favorite is the truck. Prefer Dodges to tell you the truth. And I know what you're gonna say about Dodges....Transmission issues, I know all about em. I own only one and I'm not sure if I'm gonna invest in another Chrysler product ever again. But get used to it, transmission issues are gonna be the new headaches of the future with cars rolling outta the assembly lines and Chrysler's leading the charge on that one.
In one shop I was in, I learned in detail as to how a transmission works. The two cars that I worked on most of the time were either Chryslers OR Fords. And you wanna know why that is? Because ever since electronics became more increasingly used in vehicles, diagnosing a problem was easier to do. in some cases they were right, but now you gotta another problem. Instead of the engines dying before the auto-trannies dying you got it the other way around. Instead of the old way (where the transmission valve body relied on vacuum lines & valves from the engine to determine when to shift) the new way is where you gotta computer (telling a series of switches on top of the valve body) along with a series of sensors telling the trannie when to shift. In other words the trannies' gotta brain and thinks. That's great, makes it more reliable and more fuel efficient. But when they die, the vehicle refuses to move. I know becuase I did mine and I paid $900 for the parts, and if the labor were included it would be about $700 give or take. Wait till i tell you what they are doing to engines.......heheheheh

the issues with Chrysler trannies are the solenoid packs. It's just bad design. And the Fords still have starter issues. A month ago I was working on a 2000 Expedition that refused to crank over and I had to replace the starter and the starter solenoid which was seperately mounted on the back on the engine firewall.

I love your observations of the Weather Channel guy. [grin]

My ex used to think he was cute. I just didn't see it myself.

I heard jim cantori is family, I (supposedly) met his boyfiend at a bar here in Atlanta.....but I never got other confermation on it.
