What the #$%^ is wrong with some people. I have issues about how crazy things are getting. I told you from the get go that I might post some political stuff so BACK OFF!
So all along I listen to Michael Savage. (Does that make me a freak?) He's always talking about how we need to take care of the terrorists and all that jazz. One would think he would be supportive when law enforcement acts on something.
So where am I going with this. Well, this guy is on a plane right. He starts talking about having a bomb, acting weird and not paying attention to commands. So an Air Marshal identifies himself, tries to reason with the guy and he runs and make furtitive movements. The Air Marshal does what he's supposed to and stops the threat. Enough said. Unfortunately the guy paid with his life, but its just that, unfortunate.
So back to Savage. He says "why couldn't the guy tackle him?" He also makes comments about having all the passengers come out with their hands up saying "so now their all terrorists?". I pulled a Savage on Savage. I couldn't take it anymore. I turned the channel. Ok, lets see. Hey lets tackle the guy, he sets off a bomb and boom. Now the whiners will say "why didn't they stop him by any means?" I'm so sick of these people who can sit in their high ivory towers and try to think of what should have been done when in reality you have sometimes seconds to act. As far as pulling out everyone with their hands in the air, who knows, maybe there are others involved. Let's take cautious measures until we are sure! What is it going to hurt? Maybe their arms get tired? I would much rather have that then someone with their hands in their pockets pushing the button of a bomb! In a post 911 world if you get on any mass transit system or in any packed facility and even mumble the words bomb you are an idiot. If you act like this guy did, expect a visit from Mr. Lead.
And then there's pretty face. The liberal bucking for the driver's seat on that idiot network. You might know her as Katie Couric. I heard someone sum her up today and I wish I could remember who said it and exactly how it was said. Something along the lines "if you waded through the ocean of her intelligence you wouldn't even get your feet wet". So true. So she wants to know why the Air Marshals had to shoot the guy. Her interview today said, "Should Air Marshals shoot to kill". Thank God for Tony Kuklinski, a former Air Marshal that she interviewed. Katie thinks that they should have shot a limb or something other than shooting to kill. Hey Katie, THEY STOP TO SHOOT THE THREAT!!! I wonder if Katie has ever shot at a small target? Maybe a bouncing target? Oh, and lets add human beings behind that small bouncing target. You think she could hit it? You think she would feel comfortable if even the best trained cop shot at that bouncing small target with her standing even near it down range? I wonder if she wonders this. She tries to snow ball the Air Marshal and wonders why they couldn't just wound him. Thank God he clearly articulates that they shoot to stop the action and explains about how the intensity can limit accuracy and stray rounds could happen. Then she again says "shouldn't they be taught to shoot at specific locations on a body?" I boiled again. Tony tries to tell her its unrealistic but I don't think she gets it. This ain't the MOVIES Katie!!! Thank GOD for people like Tony Kuklinski. Poor guy had to put up with her.
And then there are the people that said they should fire warning shots. Ok... Let's think about this a minute. If a cop gives you lawful commands and you ignore him... your an idiot. If a cop gives you lawful commands, and has to pull out a gun, and you ignore him, you better have a good life insurance policy. You just better hope the policy doesn't have an idiot clause... Cause that's what you'd be, an idiot. I AM SO SICK OF THE MEDIA CAUSING COPS TO HAVE TO BEG PEOPLE TO DO WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO!
Oh, and let's not forget those saying the Air Marshals should have used a Taser. Ok... Let's think about this. Hmmmm... Bombs are usually set off by some type of electrical means. A taser if 50 thousands volts of electricity. Do I even need to finish this point? DO I?
Am I the only one that has issues with this? Our government recently gets blasted for having a bad report card from the "All Mighty 911 Commission" and then our government takes preventive measures and stops a lunatic talking about a bomb and gets second guessed on it? Come on...
Yeah I got issues with this... I hope you actually share this issue... One of the few times I hope you think like me. So... What do you think?

I got issues. There's no way around them. So here's my latest. I have recently decided to grow a beard. I know. It seems impossible. But it it isn't.
So I have this sorta kinda beard. I like it. It makes me feel, well, different. I've been told I look homeless. It's possible. My wife has made threats. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree does it? But yet I digress. Must be the ADD...
I'm sitting at my office yesterday pulling on my beard and mustache. I get this tickle in my nose. I reach up and grab hold of a few and pull. I gotta do this. Some people get good looks, like a nice chisled jaw bone from their dads side. I got nose hair. So I grab a branch and pull... I kid you not this sucker was almost a half inch.
But this isn't the issue that I have. It took me a while to figure this out.
So I look at this thing and admire it. Sleek jet black, sturdy, almost like wire. I had to show people. How would I keep from losing it? I finally decided. I stuck the thing between my credit card and my license in my wallet. Between the static and the remains of the goo that binds I wouldn't lose it.
First person I showed... My wife...
And that was all it took...
I still have it. Oh yeah. But I don't think I should show it off. I want to, but remember that whole homeless thing? I kinda like it inside during the winter.
Like I said, I got issues.

Smelling issues... I have 'em. I have to smell everything. I'm not crazy or anything, I don't have any weird fetishes. I just have to smell.
I take off my shoes, I have to smell inside. I take off my socks, I have to smell. I pass gas... you guessed it... I have to smell. It's not that I enjoy the smells. I once passed gas and took a whiff, then took another just to confirm that it really did smell that bad.
My wife cringes when I smell things. She thinks I'm crazy. Maybe I am, I don't know.
Have you ever scratched under your arm and then smelled your hand? I have. I'm not that obvious though. I'll scratch with two fingers and then pretent to itch under my nose... But I'm not really itching my nose, I'm checkin' out the smell. That occasional itch from down under, you guessed it. I'm not proud. I'm not embarrased either.
Here's what's even worse. You know those cannisters of pepper spray? You guessed it, gotta smell it. I only do it once in one sitting though. Usually causes my snot to run and ruins smelling for a bit.
Most people look at the date of milk and go "ummm not today friend". I still have to smell it.
Listen folks I've tried to resist, but it doesn't work. I've walked away from it only to return. Bottom line, if it stinks, I've smelled it.
Like I said, I have issues.

I have a lot of issues... but recently I have one that really set me off... I shared this with some co-workers, but they seemed uninterested... so I am sharing this with you...
So I'm in the line at the grocery and I have two boxes of microwave popcorn. My wife doesn't like the heavy butter so I get one box of light butter and one box of butter lovers... As usual, some bonehead in front of me needs a price check. So I'm stuck... I'm past the mags but not quite to checkout. I had nothing to do. So I read the popcorn boxes...
Did you know... The ingrediants in the light butter box contained... butter. The ingrediants in the butter lovers contained no butter. To add insult to injury, the light butter box contained soy, milk and egg... What the hell... If I wanted milk and egg I would eat breakfast... But the atrocities didn't stop there.
I looked at the Nutrition Facts, the RDA... There was a category for "popped" and for... are you ready for this... "unpopped". That means some poor bastard somewhere felt that it was necessary to add the "unpopped" RDA percentages. So did someone along the way crack open a bag and start eating the kernals and say, "I wonder how much of this #$%^ I gotta eat to meet the recommended daily allowance". Did they get sued and have to add it. Is there someone out there that is so anal that they felt it was necessary...?
Like I said... I have issues... The nice lady behind me didn't care, the cashier rushed me through when I tried to explain my issue, and my wife told me to take out the trash while rolling her eyes... Someone has to care...
