According to Senator Richard Blumenthal (Dem-Conn.), "Let me offer my sincere condolences to the dead and injured in the Philadelphia train crash". Immediately after this non-heartfelt statement the good senator told us about how the accident was caused by poor infrastructure( e.g. It's because Republicans are cheap and want people to die). He wasn't the only one to speak out on the subject. Every MSM outlet did so, a few within a few hours of the tragedy. Call me redundant a millions time over but 106 mph could cause a projectile to lose it's way in the dead of night. Also, it's significant to note that the automatic control speed unit on the train had not been activated. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/amtrak-speed-control-system-installed-but-wasnt-turned-on/article/2564542
Infrastructure, or lack thereof, is an easy source to play the blame game. It happened in Minneapolis a few years back when the I-35 bridge took a tumble. Stupid Republicans. It's there fault by not forking over big cash to pay for a congressman's vacation to the Bahamas.
Let's take AMTRAK, for instance. The system is run by the government. That means it's an immediate prescription for failure. A few years ago the congressional restaurant was managed by the government. It was financially run into the ground. Private companies took it over and now it's profitable. Go figure.
AMTRAK loses over $330 million dollars a year with a budget in the billions. Most of it is due to crummy food, service and, get this, bureaucracy. Faulty railroad tracks have yet to fit into the infrastructure equation. Railroad tracks that don't support trains? The juries still out but I'm putting my money on no since there are maintained by mechanized gandy dancers instead of senators and representatives.
You see, Democrats need an excuse to get voters behind them: White cops are racists, women don't receive as much money as men in the job market, many more women than men have abortions, (I made that one up but the nitwit crowd will think about it for awhile) and our nations poor infrastructure which is turning us into a 3rd world nation. This places us directly behind Tanzania or Siberia depending on how much sunlight they receive on odd numbered days.
Is it a coincidence that one day before the Philly train wreck took place the annual Citizens Against Public Waste(Republican watch dog group) published it's listing of asinine government spending? you know what I mean. It's the earmarks congressmen take for their district that are supposed to be illegal. Did your congressman receive $465,000 to run a study on why gays like to kiss other men? Why not? If you check out the list there is seemingly something for everybody. What really makes it interesting is, over the last three years the government has taken in more tax money than in it's entire history.
If somebody in the government cares about infrastructure send them to my house. I've got a fire alarm battery I am unable to disarm. The beeping is driving me crazy.
You might want to open the link for Citizens United and see some of the more ridiculous programs you are supporting via your hard earned dollars in 2015. They publish a book. For obvious reasons it's called 'The Pig Book'

Is Tom Brady A Big Deal
So, Tom Brady was suspended. Big deal. Is it more newsworthy than if Iran develops a nuclear weapon? That's for you to decide. Personally, I could care less.
I find it fascinating that sports is the most important facet of American life. I have friends who don't understand why I'm not involved in fantasy baseball. A person picks what he thinks are really good players and at the end of the year, based on their statistics, you could win money. I'd rather eat raw acorns than do this and I know more baseball strategy than 90% of the citizenry.
Tom Brady was suspended for four games(his appeal will probably bring it down to two) and the Patriots will lose a first round draft choice. Oh my God, it's the end of the world!
If the story is true, that Brady had his football deflated(not like detonating the bomb dropped on Hiroshima) then he's in big trouble.
So, what is worse? There's a fella named Ray Rice who drug his then girlfriend down a hotel hallway like he was caveman. Adrian Petersen, running back of the Minnesota Vikings used physical force to spank his baby boy. They still play in the NFL.
I have a real problem with this scenario. Pete Rose, the all-time leading hitter in baseball received a life time ban for betting on baseball. Okay, I understand this. But, he bet on other teams, not his own.
That I do not understand.
Now, consider the number of players who used illegal drugs, steroids as enhancement performance drugs. Barry Bonds, one of these, will be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. As for Pete Rose, unless the new commissioner has a change of mind, will be signing autographs at a Buick dealership for the rest of his life.
Sports--I don't understand it.

Why Hattiesburg Mississippi
Another day and more policeman gunned down, this time in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Ho-hum. And people cheer these massacres. An ignorant, ill-formed young woman put herself on twitter along with her picture cheering the event. She was shown wearing her Subway work clothing. What a moron.
And that's what these people are, the ones cheering; morons who are duped into showing their massive ignorance by doing the bidding of the main culprits.
One of my positive qualities, according to me, is I am not politically correct. It is the bane of American society.
So, let's put the blame directly where it lies and we can cite Ferguson and Baltimore as the focal points along with anti-police parades in New York City. What was it those illiterates chanted as they marched down 5th Avenue? Oh yeah, I remember. "What do we want? Dead police. When do we want it? Now". Clever, huh?
I'll immediately get to the point. Who's responsible for hate going on in the country? Let's start with the Communist Party USA. Their presence in Ferguson and Baltimore was there from the get go.
Throw in Occupy Wall Street. The namby pamby worthless pieces of scum who are trying to overcome our economic system.
Last, and certainly not least, Eric Holder, Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. Mrs. Obama is making the rounds this week giving commencement addresses at our institutions of supposedly higher learning. Naturally, they are all Black colleges. She is regurgitating one main theme. It's nearly impossible for Afro-Americans to make it in society. She cites herself as a prime example of this type of discrimination. As he said, "Children like me are not welcome in museums and art centers". Explain that one, Moochie.
You may recall during the 2008 election the First Lady stated after her husband won a primary, "For the first time in my life I'm proud of my country". Why is that, Michelle, when you were brought up in an upper middle class home? Why would you make that statement when, after your husband was elected to the Illinois senate, your salary was bumped from $125 thousand to over $300 grand at a Chicago hospital for doing nothing extra?
Her husband has inserted himself numerous times in the mix. How often do we have to be forced to listen to his diatribes on social injustice against 'his people'?
Why Hattiesburg, Mississippi? It's because our Black leaders are fomenting hatred in this nation. Police are bad they tell us. The folks with rap sheets longer than the US tax code are good.
For people in a position of authority there are no greater racists than Eric Holder, Michelle Obama and Barack Obama.
And by the way, since Freddie Gray died in Baltimore twenty-six of their law abiding citizens have been murdered. And the police had nothing to do with it.
If I had an Obama/Biden bumper sticker on my car bumper I'd be damned embarrassed.

And You Wonder Why I Left Teaching
In twenty years of high school teaching I came across some doozies. One of my parents threw a kegger for juniors and seniors. They thought I was living in the Dark Ages for being so clueless as to what was wrong with that scenario.
Well, in Pennsylvania, they're at it again.

"Highlands superintendent Michael Bjalobok told Channel 11 he put the kibosh on a post prom fundraiser put on by parents both because the $500 beer gift card top prize sent a bad message(ya' think), and it wasn’t approved by school officials".

Trust me when I say the students didn't drive me out of the classroom. It was good ol' mom and dad who applied their collective feet to the pedal.

Stuff I Learned This Week In Dublin Ohio
With age comes knowledge, most of it worthless. Aside from current events I made a couple of highly insignificant observations in the past few days.
The longer one lives the more coffee cups they accrue. If you know why let me know. Personally, like a favorite suit, I'll use only two or three. One has written on it, 'Member of the vast right wing conspiracy'. The other was given to me by an Iowa friend and has pictures of Iowa communities emblazoned on it. In our cupboard set thirty other dust collectors.
A cousin of the Boston Marathon Bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, spoke in his defense in court. She said he was such a nice little boy. He even cried when he saw the movie, The Lion King. That's good enough for me. Let's set the lad free.
The City of Columbus, Ohio built four homes for the underprivileged in what is called The Linden District. The area is located in the northeast section of the city and, how do I write this-----could rival inner city Detroit on a bad day. Anyway, via a federal grant these four homes cost the U.S. taxpayer $330,000 and change each to construct. If they were to go on the market by the seller the list price would tally out to $92,000. Don't ask me why. It's a government thing.
Buzzfeed seems to be the hot new zip code on the internet. It's chock full of mindless nonsense. They have quizzes for the reader wondering about specific aspects of their lives. For instance, based on ones Zodiac sign they'll tell you what sexual position you like best. Imagine my surprise when a certain man and women I know enjoy the missionary position. I'm not a biology major but I don't believe this is conducive to procreation. Heck, earthworms would have a better chance of bringing their offspring to this earth than would humankind.
On a lighter note Buzzfeed offers other items; 23 ways to eat cookies for breakfast was a winner in my book.
While perusing the internet a sexist site popped up. It's called 'Bitches be crazy'. As you might imagine it's main goal is to expose women as nutty. I guess it makes some guys feel better about themselves especially after a night of getting puking drunk.
Scientists announced we have only seven years to live if we don't make drastic changes to control the climate. The only problem is this announcement was made seven years ago yesterday.
Did you know the gay/lesbian population isn't in the 25% area? Of the 215 million people over age 18 the % is slightly under 2%. Furthermore it is now impossible to be 'only' gay or lesbian. It's a must to be more specific and I'm quoting from MRC News:
Gender queer, gender fluid, gender-less, gynesexual, bigender, transsexual, transvestite, transitioning, agender, poly gender, androgynous, androsexual, pangender, omnisexual, omnigender, Demi sexual, skoliosexual, cisgender, third gender and boydyke.
This is all so confusing. I read a blog site yesterday from a dude called 'The Rabid Faggot' in Salon Magazine. He's gay, Black and communist all wrapped in one. That must be a heavy load to carry. Did I mention he's a liberal and hates Republicans?
Dan Jenkins is arguably the best sports writer who ever lived. He said, while holding a cigarette in one hand and a Jack Daniels in the other, "The greatest reason for the demise of America is political correctness. I agree. It's impossible to cut one loose in public anymore without having an ugly, grossly obese loser of a women scream the F word at you for being so vulgar.
