I am somewhat of a die hard Trekkie and I have either hoped that the series would be put to rest or reinstated, not reinvented. Unfortunately, reinvention seems to be unavoidable and it has made it hard for me to easily accept the changes that have come. I remember the first two movies of the OST crew and I was impressed but bored with the Motion Picture. I remain a fanatic for the Wrath Of Khan.

I started to see the Alpha of the Omega, in the Genesis of the Search for Spock. I got lost somewhere during the Voyage Home. I had hoped that the Final Frontier really would be the final movie, I was wrong. I found portions of the Undiscovered Country to be new territory, but not completely acceptable. Everyone may have thought that the ship and crew had been retired, nope.

I remember the early reports and look-and-feel of the Next Generation series - I wasn’t happy. I remember that the technology of the show was good, with the exception of the quite cheezy “Warp Effects”. Sets and equipment was good. Character creation and story lines were OK, at first. Then DS9 came along and ruined everything. I saw a glimmer of hope with Cpt. Janeway and the Voyager crew, but that was short lived in my opinion. [Read more >>]

Can you imagine working at the following Company? It has a little over 500 employees with the following statistics:

1. 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
2. 7 have been arrested for fraud
3. 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
4. 117 have bankrupted at least two businesses
5. 3 have been arrested for assault
6. 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
7. 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8. 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
9. 21 are current defendants in lawsuits
10. 84 were stopped for drunk driving

Can you guess which organization this is?

It’s the 535 members of the United States Congress plus the Senate. The same group that perpetually cranks out hundreds upon hundreds of new laws designed to keep the rest of us in line.

Next week, on November 4th, 2008, please be intelligent and informed. There’s nothing worse than American Citizens that just take a spoon fed opinion from the mass-media as gospel. I have stumbled on data that is even proven by the mass-media (some of the media) and will shock you if you didn’t already know!

I will begin by saying that this post has been verified for accuracy! It still remains to be publicly refuted, however, by Barack Obama. I have many friends and acquaintances that send me information. Some of it is funny, some is accurate and some is scary. Well the following excerpts from one of Obama’s books are NOT funny, they are said to be accurate and quite scary if you ask me. Now I am not a hate monger, I am not a racist and I am not a Democrat. This information was forwarded to me by a Democrat, who is also neither a hate monger or a racist, but they are a patriot - even though a Democrat.

Now I find it very intriguing that the news media, which is absolutely biased, has hung its proverbial hat on the hope of the former Illinois Senator being the next President, but has taken vast amounts of time and resources to try to dig up some dirt on Gov. Sarah Palin. Of course they don’t even bother to attack the War Hero….interesting. But the point is, the following information has been printed and is readily accessible by all. It’s no surprise though, that I (like how many other citizens) have not read either of Obama’s books. Well here we go with the quotes from his book, “Dreams From My Father”. [Read more >>]

….or is it “Barry Soetoro”? Was he (whoever he is) born in Kenya, as his grandmother says he was, or was he born in one of two possible hospitals in Hawaii (he and his sister can’t agree on which)? Is he still a Muslim (as reported on Barry’s grade school enrollment documents), or is really a Christian? What about the following picture (taken just TWO years ago) showing him in traditional Muslim garb, while visiting family in Kenya?

What about his political alignment? Is he a patriotic citizen of the United States, or is he a seditious Marxist and socialist the likes of previous communist dictators? Not sure? Well what about the scary simularities of the following posters…

Well, put the sexual innuendo and the small amount of language aside and you have a great movie. This film reminds me of when it was fun to watch the quick quips and come-backs of the likes of Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell (His Girl Friday). The screen is lit up by the exchanges of Renée Zellweger as the fiery and platinum-blonde reporter-turned-hero-wrecker, and George Clooney as the aging pro-footballer-turned-promoter. Their chemistry is truely electric and this film would have been a waste of celluloid if any other couple had been cast.

The other bit of greatness this film brings, is the realization of no matter how much times and circumstances change, there are still those few unalterable truths that can make you laugh, cry and ponder the similarities you see in your own little universe. The changes to the game, during that time of the mid to late 1920’s, were immense. The adoption of rules (not necessarily good for the sport) and the addition of a Commissioner were just the beginning of what American pro football is today.

PG-13(for brief strong language) - 1hr. 54min.

With only three weeks until election day, the horror of Barack Obama becoming president is a fear all Americans should realize. We should unanimously vote Republican on November 4th. The upcoming election is not about choosing sides, but choosing America.

True patriots will stand up for the Constitution, while domestic terrorists support sedition. I am calling the Democratic National Convention and Obama supporters the domestic terrorists. They are blindly allowing Americans to be duped into voting and financially supporting a man who can not be president, who does not respect the flag and who should not even be a Senator. He is a liar, a fraud and a traitor. I can calmly and confidently say this because it is all true. Just wrap your mind around the following video, to see my point.

Now, what we’re all supposed to do as intelligent human beings, is find truth for ourselves. The facts don’t lie either. [Read more >>]

The second 2008 Presidential debate could only be called a tired rerun of old rhetoric. The real fiasco didn’t begin, until Obama blurted out that his plans for his “first term” in office! Talk about an ego-maniac. He hasn’t even posted four years as a Senator and he’s already planning for four years as President and then what he wants to do in years 5-8! That could be interpreted as over-confidence, but I prefer to believe that Obama has already paid for the election.

Let’s face the facts that 1)he has piled up more daily campaign dollars than any Democratic Presidential nominee to-date (and large sums from foreign donors) and 2)the American public is a shambling mass of cattle that are more than ready to accept the shiny new cowbell and collar that Obama’s offering. The cowbell of “change” is a trade of failed bi-partisan attempts for a neo-Marxist state of government controlled health care and a redistribution of wealth, which is a pathetic excuse for a tax cut but is really a tax hike (not new taxes though!). The point is, people earning $249,000 or less would basically receive a welfare check and those earning $250,000 will see a $40,000 tax hike! This is another attempt to level the playing field, whether you have invested your time and money into higher education for a better paying job or decided to accept a lower income bracket and fast-food employment!

Well, it’s honestly no surprise that the St. Louis Rams decided to can head coach Scott Linehan in favor of Defensive Coordinator (2006-2008), Jim Haslett. The newly appointed interim head coach has a proven track record of improving the teams he’s worked for, which include the New Orleans Saints (Head Coach, 2000-2005) and the Pittsburgh Steelers (Defensive Coordinator, 1997-1999). Let’s hope he can create some magic for the “Lamest Show on Turf”. There was a slight return to intelligent thinking on the part of the coaching staff, by the overwhelming agreement on the reinstatement of Marc Bulger as the starting QB for week 6. Week 6 will also see a return for wide receivers Dante Hall and Dane Looker, who has recovered from the concussion he was handed in week 4. There can only be a brighter future on the horizon for the Rams’ 2008 season at this point.

If you’ve never seen or heard of Jeff Dunham, he’s the best ventriloquist/comedian I have ever seen. He knows how to soften a room full of people, that have been hardened by everyday life, with laughter. There has been medicinal proof that laughter heals. He could be one of the most successful physicians to those not expecting treatment, but getting a healthy dose anyway!

He is primarily clean (with some innuendo mixed in) but he loves to target the differences between races, genders, age groups and politics. I have loved his acts with Peanut, Walter, José Jalapeño and now Achmed - the dead terrorist! This skit, and its main character, has been received with both accolades and disdain. There has even been a report that a South African man, Moegamat Khan, has filed a complaint about a cellphone ringtone (being marketed by local TV) was promoting that all Muslims are terrorists (read more about it). Now come on, it’s not our fault that most of the Muslims that we Americans hear about are terrorists. Don’t blame funny-man Jeff Dunham for poking fun at all races, the different religions and even his own wife! Well don’t make a decision based on my words alone, take a look at the skit yourself and decide for yourself…

Achmed - the Dead Terrorist
