A Bonus Beef! Shut the fuck up Tom

I thought I could get through a day without a beef. I just wanted to add Tom Cruise to my list of people who need to shut the fuck up. He is currently on the list with Oprah, Dick Cheney and Pat Robertson. Tom, a devout scientolgist, told Matt Lauer on the "Today" show that "psychiatry is a pseudo science" and while disputing the effectiveness of antidepressants generally, Cruise said, "all it does is mask the problem." He added, "There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance." So the beeflog is proud to tell Tom Cruise to shut the fuck up and take himself and all of L. Ron Hubbards clones and quietly fist themselves.

Adios

A Fast and Furious 4 Days

Ferris Bueller said, "Life moves fast, Sometimes you have to take the time to stop and look around." Or something to that affect. This couldn't be more true but lately I haven't had much time to look around. I have set myself into such a groove that even the slightest change throws me off course. The good news is my fitness routine is already showing results and I have been good at sticking to my programs. Unfortunately when something like shopping for a used car comes up it can throw your schedule of course. The search is over though and after much searching and realizing that in my price range I had to really balance my options I went for looks and speed over economics and long term investment. In other words I got myself a sports car with T-Tops to zoom around in for the time being. Its a Nissan 300zx (see photo), excellent shape for its age and I look forward to snazzing it up a bit and making it even more eye catching than it is now. Was a high mileage, older sports car the smart choice? Probably not but was it the fun choice? I think so and I bet Ferris Bueller would agree.

Did I mention I got back together with my girlfriend? Faithful Blog readers know all about my 2 plus year relationship that was recently deep sixed and it left me with a lot of choices to make. I basically decided that I wasn't ready to throw away 2 + years of my life and if others could overcome issues similar to mine why not me? I will admit if she hadn't came to me and pleaded her case so passionately the outcome of this weekend probably would have been different. I still love her but if she was willing to take time off from eatch other then so was I. That was my original plan at least. She didn't want to wait anymore and I made the decision to give it one more shot. Im going to be 31 years old soon. I am still in love with her, still happy to be around her so I made the obvious choice. I don't want to join the meat market. I'm too old for that crap. Not to mention that 90% of all females out there over 28 are divorced w/kids or single mothers. This is not the direction I want to head into. Ill take my chances and there wont be any "told ya so's" either. I know the gamble I take and even though the odds aren't in my favor I don't mind the risk. I look at it as I'm playing with the houses money now and I think it will pay off in the end.

The heat was brutal this weekend so the pool we had installed last year finally paid off even though Jess and I spent the weekend driving around looking at cars. Thank god that is over. Also we went and saw Land of The Dead on Friday night. It was very good though I have to see it again because the sound sucked and I still had a lot on my mind at the time. I don't have much to beef on today so consider this just a personal update. Hope everyone is well and surviving the heatwave if your on the east coast.

tomorrow the beefs continue...

P.S-Lord Duke! Call me at work!!!!!!

Oprah needs to shut the hell up:The Week in Review

So another week has passed us and nothing much exciting or ground breaking has been happening in the world. There was a neat story about an 11 year old boy who spent 4 days in the mountains of Utah all by himself and survived. Now that's one tough little cub scout. He would have been found earlier except he kept avoiding people because he was always told not to talk to strangers. It's too bad our society is so deranged that good advice can sometime lead to the wrong choices. One thing is for sure people continue to amaze me and everytime I think I have it bad I think of people like this kid surviving on his own and stories like Joe Simpsons. If they can survive those situations we suburban wimps really need to re-evaulate issues we think are tough.

Vice President Dick Cheney recently declared the insurgency in Iraq as "in its last throes". Yesterday a top Military official who actually knows what is going on in Iraq stated that in fact the terrorist insurgents are as strong, if not stronger then when we first began to occupy that nation. Someone needs to get their facts straight. Cheney is standing behind his statements claiming that Iraq "will be an enormous success story." Just like Korea, Vietnam and Somalia right Dick?

They have arrested another person in Aruba linked to the case of the Alabama girl who disappeared there over a month ago. They have arrested a Judge who just happens to be the Father of another one of the suspects. The fact is that the Aruban police have nothing on anyone except they know as well as we all do that this unfortunate girl is dead, at the bottom of the ocean somewhere. Most likely she was killed in a fit of passion or after refusing sex and someone helped get rid of the body. There will probably be two or three people charged with 3rd degree murder or manslaughter in the very near future. This isn't going to help Aruba's reputation but if anything I hope it saves some other drunk, innocent girl from leaving her friends behind and heading to the beach with strangers.

Now about Oprah Winfrey. Quite frankly she should just shut the fuck up. There is a high class luxury store in Paris called Hermes. No I never heard of the damn place either but then again I am no big fan of anything French especially a store whose name sounds like a sexually transmitted disease. Anyway, Oprah and her entourage tried to get in to shop after the store had closed. An employee of the store explained to them that they were closed and were setting up for a private PR event and she would be welcome back in when they re-opened. Well no one says no to the big O. She is claiming that this was a "crash" moment. I didn't know what the hell that meant either so I will explain. I guess there is a new film out called "Crash" that deals with race relations and if you are a minority you have a new catch phrase every time you feel you are being discriminated against. If a black man goes into a store and there is a sign that says "No Blacks allowed" that is a "crash" moment. Does this mean when I go into a 7-11 in Jersey and ask the clerk for a pack of Lucky Strikes and he says "Goonie goo hoo" am I experiencing a "crash" moment because it takes me an hour to purchase an item because this person cannot speak English? Oprah will tell her audience all about her "crash" moment when her show returns to the air in September. According to the bastion of truth in reporting "The NY Post" someone in Hermes mentioned they had problems with "North Africans" in the store recently. Does anyone think for a moment that the clerks in Hermes didn't recognize Oprah's fat ass when she and her entourage came walking into the store? Do you think Oprah looked like she just crawled out of the jungles of New Guinea? The cost of the fabric used to make her enormous panties could buy enough food to feed half of Africa. Why on earth would Hermes want to discriminate against one of the most well known African American women in the world? A women who could hold up a pile of dog shit in her hand during her program and say "I rub this shit all over my body. Its great for my skin!". Within 20 minutes millions of housewives across the country would be rubbing animal feces all over themselves. This is the power the great O wields. I think she is pissed because she didn't get her way and the store treated her like any other customer, Black ,white or plaid. So again, Oprah just shut the hell up and I only have one thing more to say about this.

Goonie fuckin goo hoo.


have a great weekend
and
try and stay positive

Lists are fun and yu can Kiss my Grammerr (intentionally spelled wrong, get it?)

The AFI (American Film Institute) released its top 100 Movie quotes of all time last night. All the classics were there of course but being the movie buff I am I couldn't help but compile my own list of Quotes they had forgot. Also, I often notice as I re-read some of my posts here that I occasionally miss some spelling and grammar issues. Actually the shitty spell checker built into Blogspot misses them. I try my best to be on top of this but you know what, when you are typing away like mad, writing whatever happens to be on your mind at that split second, mistakes are bound to happen. So please don't bother sending me a thesaurus for X-mas.

Before we get to the Movie quote list I wanted to tell those who asked; Yes I am doing well considering the circumstances. When a lot of empty time opens up in your life the need to fill it is immediate. If not you could find yourself in a funk. The kind of funk you get into after the loss of someone close. Either way its not pretty. Surprisingly I have turned into a fitness junkie, running for miles each night on the treadmill and punishing my body with a free weight routine. Its a great time waster and can really keep your mind occupied. It makes me think of Patrick Bateman the serial killer in the film American Psycho, where he keeps himself in peak physical condition not only because of his intense vanity but to occupy himself and keep his blood lust from spilling into his days. "I finish off with my stomach crunches," he tells us, "I can do a thousand now." I can do 12. There's always room for improvement.

Here is my list and I fully expect my few faithful readers to add their own favorite movie quotes under the comments section. If you don't you are all getting Thesaruses for X-mas.


The Beef Log's top ?? list of my favorite Movie Quotes in no particular order (that AFI Missed)

"You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world."-Fight Club

Randall- "My mom's been fuckin' a dead guy for 30 years. I call him dad. "-Clerks

"I don't want you to be the guy in the PG-13 movie everyone's *really* hoping makes it happen. I want you to be like the guy in the rated R movie, you know, the guy you're not sure whether or not you like yet. You're not sure where he's coming from. Okay? You're a bad man. You're a bad man, Mikey. You're a bad man, bad man." -Swingers

"I don't even know how long she's been gone. It's like I've woken up in bed and she's not here... because she's gone to the bathroom or something. But somehow, I know she's never gonna come back to bed. If I could just... reach over and touch... her side of the bed, I would know that it was cold, but I can't. I know I can't have her back... but I don't want to wake up in the morning, thinking she's still here. I lie here not knowing... how long I've been alone. So how... how can I heal? How am I supposed to heal if I can't... feel time?"-Memento

[after student provides incorrect answer to math problem] "Ok, now let's try to get an answer from someone who's not a complete retard... anyone?" -South Park The Movie

"I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope. " -Shawshank Redemption

"I'm gonna make you squeal like a pig. Weeeeeeee. " -Deliverence (Can you believe AFI left this one off? This is probably one of the most quoted lines of a movie ever!)

"We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. "-Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (I could have filled this list with just quotes from this film)

(Brodie Bruce speaking of T.S. and Brandi's love) "You two are retarded for each other!"-Mallrats

"when there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth." -Dawn of The Dead (1978)

"Once it escalated into a murder one beef for all of 'em after they killed the first two guards, they didn't hesitate. Popped guard number three because... what difference does it make? Why leave a living witness? At the drop of a hat these guys were Rock N Roll."-Heat

"I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip. "-American Psycho

"Are you smoking this shit so's to escape from reality? Me, I don't need this shit. I am reality. There's the way it ought to be, and there's the way it is. Elias was full of shit.

And I ain't gonna allow that... in any of you. Not one."-Platoon

"I say, why don't you guys locate your dicks, remove the shrink wrap, and fucking *use* them!" -American Pie

"Hey, Jack! Mickey's back!"-Natural Born Killers

"I'm very sorry the government taxes their tips, that's fucked up. That ain't my fault. It would seem to me that waitresses are one of the many groups the government fucks in the ass on a regular basis. Look, if you ask me to sign something that says the government shouldn't do that, I'll sign it, put it to a vote, I'll vote for it, but what I won't do is play ball. And as for this non-college bullshit I got two words for that: learn to fuckin' type, 'cause if you're expecting me to help out with the rent you're in for a big fuckin' surprise. "-Reservoir Dogs

Bob Wiley: "You ever hear of Tourette's syndrome? Involuntarily shouting out profanities?"
Dr. Leo Marvin:" It's exceptionally rare."
Bob Wiley: "Shit-eating son-of-a-bitch... bastard, douche-bag, twat, numb-nuts, dickhead!"

New Look

Hey I changed the look of the Blog a bit. Hope you like it. The other was too drab for me. Now you got words on the left and links and archives on the right. The Links will change periodically depending on my moods. The only one that will stay at all times is the first one. You should all jump down the rabbit hole of you haven't already. Also if you want to read or post comments to specific blog posts they will be in a new window now to make it a little simpler. Just click on comments at the end of the posting. I highly encourage everyone to leave comments if they feel like it. I'm also toying with the HTML to add some other cool stuff. We will see what I can come up with.

The Post Mortem

Everything is coming full circle now. I have come to the realization that my 2 year relationship is over. The women I love is gone and I am single again, sitting here ready to open another chapter of my life. I think I'm on chapter 3,256. All kidding aside, I have to think positive and move on and not be angry and not hold grudges or any of that bullshit. That's High School crap and I am 30. I want to graciously thank all my friends and family for being supportive and making me feel loved and showing their concern. With out these fine people I would have had a lot more trouble getting through these tough times. It means a lot to me and thank you all. Also I say the same to her family, they were great and they always treated me as one of their own and I look forward to visiting and keeping in touch with them in the future. As far as my breakup goes on the Beeflog, this chapter is closed. In my private life its gonna take time but here its time to get back the rhetoric,the spite,the humor and just plain good ole talkin shit! Lets go piss of some Neo-Cons!


So its too bad for all you Medical marijuana puffers. The supreme court has decided that its up to the Federal government, NOT the state where you reside, to choose whether or not you can grow a small amount of pot in your yard to treat the grapefruit sized tumor in your skull that is going to kill you in a month. We wouldn't want someone in chronic pain to be able to ease their suffering and maybe get the munchies. Banning pot for medical use is an affront to sick and suffering people everywhere and it is a complete joke that these tight ass bible thumping Republicans cannot see that and cannot see the benefits of Hemp and Medical marijuana. Shit man, I don't even like pot but I know it has medicinal values and the hemp plant itself has thousands of cost effective uses. They have been trying to legalize it or at least lessen the restrictions on pot for ever. In this day and age it will never happen, the far right has created a shroud of evil around pot, making it into this huge gateway drug that is destroying today's youth. All pot has done is make Frito Lay corporation rich and The Grateful Dead one of the biggest bands in the world except for the fact their records sold like shit because the pot heads blew all their money on twinkies and Dr. Pepper. Banning Medical marijuana? Now that aint groovy. Go here for more info.

Its so late now to comment on Michael Jackson. I know I really dropped the ball on that one but shit, my girlfriend was breaking my heart, I had more important shit going on! I didn't have time to report on his expected acquittal. No jail for Jacko I guess but his life will forever be changed for him. Do I think he diddled young boys? Probably not. Do I think he is a friggin weirdo that shouldn't be around kids unsupervised? Damn straight. All I know is the Press had a field day with this trial and honestly it was lame. The OJ trial was much better. We need a different celeb to fuck up so we can have a fun trial. How about a murder on a reality show! Now that would rock. Clay Aiken gets sniped out during the finals of American Idol or someone really gets eliminated from the Survivor Island or better yet, the whole cast has a mutiny and they roast Jeff Probst the host over an open fire and eat him alive. Now that I would watch.

I am hungry now, is it lunch time??

Extra!Extra!

Recommended Movies: The Machinist: see Christian (Batman) Bale look like a living skeleton, experience his waking nightmares brought on by the fact he hasn't slept for a year. See a dark moody but wonderfully crafted picture from the writer/director of the creepy cult hit Session 9.

The Aviator: Movie and history buffs can rejoice in Scorcese's masterpiece about the life and times of the eccentric Howard Hughes. Wonderfully cast, gorgeous sets and settings and a look into the mind of a billionare slowly going mad. Great stuff.

"Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity." ~ Henry Van Dyke


Van Dyke's quote makes me ponder the meaning of our existence. Not so much in the sense of why we are here but what the hell are we doing while we are here. The space in between birth and death. How much time will you spend being miserable? How much time will you spend happy and how much of that time will you spend in love. One of the most ridiculous and out right bullshit quotes of all time is "Life is what you make it". Anyone who has spent more than 18 or so years on this planet knows that this is a bunch of bunk. Life is where you choose to steer your ship, unfortunately the shallows and reefs of life can sometimes be unavoidable. Hence my ship sits here stuck on a reef, slowly putting on water.

"How long before we go down Captain?"
"Well that depends boy, how fast do you want to bale water?"
"I say fuck it and abandoned ship."

My brother made me get all teary eyed this morning. He called to check on me last night and left a message on my voice mail since I was fast asleep in a Valium induced coma. He just called to check in on me and at the end he said "love ya". The reason he was checking on me was because last night I found out that during the two days my girlfriend and I spent apart ( broken up) she slept with someone. The same guy she works with and the same one I have been suspicious of for months now. The same one I gave a hefty bitch slap upside the head too last night when I confronted them both about this little revelation. Jess only denied it for about 20 minutes. It did not really come as a shock. As of this writing she is taking the "we were broken up and I was confused" route but I am taking the fucking exit. Granted yes, she didn't technically cheat on me. I respect the fact that she did exactly what I asked of her 2 years ago. PLEASE break up with me if you are going to screw around. Well she did and then she came back to me but never mentioned what happenned and I did ask. This isnt exactly what I meant when I said leave me before you cheat. The coming back part wasnt in the original plan. Now anyone who has been in love before knows that something like this would change our relationship permanently and for the worse. If we tried to stay together it would be a disaster. It would only be a matter of time before we broke up again. I know Jessica and I know she is not a bad person and would not have deliberately try to hurt me. I just dont think she weighed the options. I dont hate her. I am just hurting inside and wish what happened never happenned. I wish she never got a job at that fuckin place she works at and I wish we comminucated with each other better. I hope my few Readers forgive me, I am pretty upset right now.

Now back to my brother. When he said "love ya" it really got too me. I don't think he has ever said that to me. He said it because he knows I am hurting and he had to witness 14 years ago when my High School sweetheart ceremoniously dumped me after nearly 3 years. I was destroyed. I think he is genuinely worried about me and that really warms me inside. I also thank him for breaking the news about this whole fiashaven'tbegin with. I havent been verylatelyto my brothea lottley and he has alot of tough issues to deal wia lotI lost sight of alot of things and realize that we are all human and that support an love should never be denied. You can always count on your brother to watch your back. I love ya too bro. I owe you one.

So what to do know? Get drunk and break stuff? Lose my job, piss everyone off and fuck the town whores? Naw. Been there and done all of that. The good news is I already had a plan a few weeks ago when we split the first time. I did put a few of the things in motion already (quitting smoking, diet, getting in shape etc.) so I am already part way there. Its gonna suck, no doubt about it. I have no idea what the next few weeks will have in store. At least I know exactly what I will go through emotionally it's just that I have to be sure to think positive and be constructive during the healing process. I love Jessica with all my heart and this is going to shred my current existence. I will recover though. I always do. My shell is thick now from years of abuse. Some of the abuse comes from others but a lot of it is self inflicted.

I am sick of hurting though. I am sick of putting effort into things and failing miserably. Sometimes I think it must be me. Maybe it is. Who knows. All I know is that this will be the termination of my fourth long term relationship under not so amicable circumstances. One thing Jess has going for her is that most of my ex's are doing fine now and are happily married. I could go into business for myself! Date me and find the man of your dreams!! Hehe. Ok, enough of feeling sorry for myself but its a fuckin rule you know. You should always be allowed some self pity. Its a given.

I want to apologize to my few faithful readers of my blog. I have been writing more about my fucked up life then the current events and beefs you are all used too. Dont give up on me yet. I will get back to business soon. I just have some things to straighten out. I want to ask you all a favor. When you get a chance call up a sibling, call your Mom or Dad, call your best friend. Call someone you love and tell em. Tell em you love em. It can really make someones day a little brighter.

'Full a piss an' vinegar.'

When Steinbeck came up with that quote for the "The Grapes of Wrath" do you think he was sitting in traffic?

You get words today mainly because I am angry. I am writing this now in the heat of passion so excuse the fact that the grammar and spelling will most likely be worse than usual if that's possible.

Fuck Road construction. Fuck paving and fuck fat tattooed people waving orange flags at me. I know that our roads needs to be fixed. Potholes, cracks and faded center lanes need to be updated from time to time. You know what though? There is always construction going on right where you don't need it. Always. Never fails. We live in NH where frost heaves ruin our roads every miserable winter so it is expected that as summer rolls around out come the paving crews. So this means you have to plan you're morning and evening commute around this clusterfuck. For example; I live in a shitty town stuck 15-20 minutes on both sides from the main highway. If you want to get anywhere worth going you have to reach this highway. So if there is major paving anywhere between either of these routes you are screwed. Well it just so happens that as I write this there is one major paving operation right in the middle of my quickest and convenient route to work. If I choose the other way it will tack on 20 minutes of extra driving. Even that route is peppered with construction zones. I am trapped on all sides. Its a much less dangerous version of a minefield with me trapped in my fading S-10, my Hummer with no armor. Its slow going but I finally make it through. I was 15 minutes late today. I left 5 minutes earlier then usual because I though the bulk of the paving was done. I was wrong and sat in traffic for 20 minutes before banging a huge uturn and heading back to an alternate route. I was fuming. When I arrived at work I was going to kick my truck but stopped at the last moment. If had done that the bed of the pickup would have disintegrated into a giant pile of rust and faded paint chips. It isn't my trucks fault. It even isn't the pavers fault. In fact I don't know who to blame. That's what pisses me off even more. If I was Howard Hughes I would buy the state of NH and fire all the paving crews. Let the roads fall apart. Then that would give us all an excuse not to even go to work.
"Sorry boss, I cant make it across the West Side bridge! Why? Because the supports are cracked and last week old Jimmy Gantley fell through a pothole and was stuck up to his shoulders. It was horrible. Poor guy was stuck there for two days with no use of his arms. His wife had to feed him and keep the sun out of his eyes. She had to leave him for a few hours to tend to the kids at home and that's when the stray dogs got to him. It wasn't pretty!"

We have no choice though. Like Bon Scott said we gotta "Ride on, and on and on.."

(more coming today)

Lets do the beef thang!

Yo, let me break this shit down for ya!

Sorry to all you Nine Inch Nails fans. All of us that wanted to see Trent and company close Thursday nights MTV movie awards ceremony with a musical performance will have to settle for the Foo Fighters. Now I love the Foo but the reason why we wont see Trent is what is bothering me. NIN wanted to use a photo of George Bush as the background while they performed. MTV said no and Reznor said fuck off. Good for you Trent.

Jacko's verdict will be announced anyday now! Can you handle the anticipation??? Will Mikey be back at Neverland sipping on Jesus Juice and watching Sesame Street in his undies or will Bubba be moonwalking all over his plastic ass in Folsom? Honestly I could give a rats ass.

A beautiful blonde High School senior disappeared in Aruba last week. She was last seen getting into a car ALONE with some local men who claimed to have dropped her off at her Hotel after a night of partying at a club. She never made her flight the next morning. AS of this writing she is still missing. I don't want to sound crass and I feel for her family and friends but is it really a mystery as to what happened? Booze+ignorance+human scumbags equals dead girl. My girlfriend wonders why I don't want her to go to out of the country or far away with just one other girlfriend. This is why.

Since "Deep Throat" has finally been revealed as ex-FBI man Mark Felt there has been a lot of debate over whether he was a Patriot or just a rat. I actually enjoy the re-juvanation of Watergate more than anything that has arisen from this new information. Especially the argument of who was a bigger scumbag, Richard "tricky dick" Nixon or Bill "Bubba" Clinton. With some help from Mediamatters.org Lets break em down shall we?

Nixon-Presiding over most corrupt administration in history; bugging opponents' offices; breaking into opposition headquarters; breaking into psychiatrist's office; forgery; using the IRS and the Justice Department to harass political opponents and reporters, and much more.

Clinton-Lying about inappropriate personal relationship; losing $48,000 in land deal.


Nixon-Approved plan to illegally use CIA to thwart FBI investigation of Democratic National Committee break-in; attorney general and deputy attorney general resigned after being ordered by Nixon to fire special prosecutor.

Clinton-Ordered Justice Department to appoint special prosecutor to avoid appearance of conflict of interest; never fired or tried to fire special prosecutors or independent counsels.

Nixon- resigned in disgrace, accepted a blanket pardon "for all offenses against the United States" he committed while president.

Clinton-Countless investigations of everything from a 15-year-old land deal to the suicide of a White House employee to allegations of drug running to White House personnel decisions to campaign fund-raising to Arlington Cemetery burial procedures revealed no criminal wrongdoing by Clintons.

Nixon-Iinvestigated, wiretapped, and audited journalists; created "enemies list" that included more than 50 reporters; Nixon allegedly ordered an aide to falsely smear syndicated columnist Jack Anderson as a homosexual; White House plotted ways to poison Anderson.
Produced -- but didn't distribute -- a critique of Whitewater coverage by Washington Post reporter Susan Schmidt

Clinton-Associate attorney general Webster Hubbell, whose conviction for stealing money from Rose Law Firm colleagues, including Hillary Clinton, were related to crimes he committed long before working in the Clinton administration.

Nixon-Contemplated firebombing Brookings Institution. (In fairness to Nixon, this plan was never actually carried out.)

Clinton-Once allegedly made Newt Gingrich sit at the back of a plane; wife warned of "vast right-wing conspiracy."

Nixon-Campaign manager/Attorney General John Mitchell convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and perjury for his role in Watergate break-in and cover-up; chief of staff H.R. "Bob" Haldeman and domestic affairs adviser John Ehrlichman convicted of conspiracy and obstruction of justice; White House counsel John W. Dean III convicted of obstruction of justice; special counsel Charles W. Colson pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice.

Clinton-Got a hummer in the Oval office.

Hmm, its a tough decision. Either way both guys were elected twice and both crushed their opponents in their second run and BOTH are universally hated by the fanatics from each opposing party. What a legacy to have.

Here at the Beef we often pick on Fox News. Well don't worry. we are going to bash CNN for a moment. Wolf Blitzer Blitzer opens every afternoon by boasting of his shows seriousness with the intonation, "Stand by for hard news" Here are the hard news story's Wolfie has been covering.
Shows since May 1 that have covered the "Runaway Bride": 7
Shows since May 1 that have covered Michael Jackson: 9
Shows since May 1 that have covered the Downing Street Memo :1

What is this Downing street memo you ask? Well let us tell you since no one else cares. This memo was uncovered by the London Times. It was quite simply a brief on military action against Iraq. It was written 8 months prior to the invasion of Iraq. It clearly shows Bush had every intention of invading Iraq and plans were already in place even though they admit that Saddam was a minimal threat and had few if any WMD's. Read this excerpt:

'The Defense Secretary said that the U.S. had already begun "spikes of activity" to put pressure on the regime. No decisions had been taken, but he thought the most likely timing in U.S. minds for military action to begin was January, with the timeline beginning 30 days before the U.S. congressional elections.
The Foreign Secretary said he would discuss this with Colin Powell this week. It seemed clear that Bush had made up his mind to take military action, even if the timing was not yet decided. But the case was thin. Saddam was not threatening his neighbours, and his WMD capability was less than that of Libya, North Korea or Iran. We should work up a plan for an ultimatum to Saddam to allow back in the UN weapons inspectors. This would also help with the legal justification for the use of force."

A few months later Colin Powell was at the UN telling the world how much of a threat Iraq was and how we needed to act now. The USA and the UK set up Iraq to fail and break UN regulations. They knew they had no WMD's and they knew Sadddam would save face and balk at the inspections even though he practically gave them carte blanche in his own country. If I was a parent of a dead US soldier I think I would want some answers. Unfortunately I don't see them getting any.

I will return

I am currently not feeling very well so there have been no new blog posts. I have been ill and just plain out of it lately. I am trying to purge myself of evil spirits but it is not working very well. I do apologize to the select few who actually stop by here. I promise I will return soon once I gain back my strength or fail in my current endeavors. Whichever comes first. For now, if you want to visit a hilarious website go here. Its a Christian movie review website. These hardcore moralists pick apart current Hollywood films and admonish the flock as to which ones to stay away from. The reviews are hilarious. Check out this tidbit from the PG-13 Boogeyman review

"Later, as the Boogeyman materializes in the tub water (now mixed with sludge) and "takes" Jessica, he holds her aloft, nude, but the scene moves so fast that its not possible to tell exactly what we see. Nevertheless, this strange sequence amounts to occult sexual violence."

Its a Mad, Mad World.
