Sound of Silence...maybe not

2009-08-31T14:08:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I was going to stop sending out the NoBama policy rants, and revert back to my light-hearted wispy observations and stories about my experiences that range from Fortune 100 conference rooms, to some rather unusual situations in the operating roomJ. BUT, anyone who knows me well, or even not that well, knows that over the years I’ve become a mental socialist (seems like such a stylish term these days) that finds pleasure in breaking down the psychological caste system that places so many of us in anesthetized state of reverence and acceptance of populist opinion and control, on a corporate or personal scale. I guess it would best be described when spoken in the words of the commonality, as a bullshit meter.

Now trying to shut this meter off is, as the old saying goes, like “trying to shovel smoke with a pitchfork in the wind” (J. Lennon). It’s almost impossible, and in the case of the current political climate…..it IS impossible. Let me explain and exemplify exactly what has occurred in recent years, and my personal reaction to it.

Now for over half a dozen years, we’ve been fighting a war on terror. A war that was forward facing, directed outward against foreign attacks on our freedom, our liberty, our way of life. But anyone who has had their eyes open, and has chosen to see, will no doubt come to the same conclusion as I have. As the new president (small “p”) has found a fondness in quoting scripture during a recent radio broadcast with religious leaders on the subject of healthcare, I shall do the same in quoting that “the wolves are IN the house”; that “our house has become divided against itself”, and will not continue to stand. Our country, freedoms, liberties and way of life may not fall in such a tangible way as the Towers did on that day that changed the world, but they are none the less eroding like a sand castle trying to endure a heavy, sustained tide.

To stay silent at this time and in this climate is to act as the disjointed intelligence agencies that allowed those complicit in the 9/11 attacks to enter this country, stay here illegally, board a plane and kill over 3,000 people in our citizenry. To watch as policies are made by self-confessed communist “CZARS” betrays every American soldier whose blood was spilled in the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. The very concept of “wealth re-distribution” through taxes and domestic policy betrays the very principles on which this nation was founded. And as I think back on my many discussions as a teenager with one of my neighbors (a vet of WWII – Sgt. Pacific – The “Greatest” Generation), who has long since passed away, I can only think about the Politically Correct dolts trampling the freedoms he fought to defend on blood soaked beaches against foreign enemies. And now, the US is starting to look and act as those regimes from which Americans liberated the world from over 50 years ago….not the least of which is a policy of appeasement toward others and apology(?) for the US????!

My neighbor, more accurately, my friend, was willing to die for the freedoms, liberties and a way of life that most of us have had the privilege to be raised in. So, who in good conscious can remain silent while the very tenants and definition of America and American are challenged down to the core?

So in light of my inability to stay silent and place the country our children will inherit in the hands of the “Worst” generation, I’ll continue to speak out, and would encourage you to do the same.

You can no longer sit on the sidelines of opinion as this country literally bows down to special interests internally and hostile foreign regimes worldwide. And if we expect to pass on an America to our children that holds its elect to the foundation and representation of their constituents best interests, instead of cowers in the face of the elitist governing forces, that border on monarchy, we need to challenge everyone in elected office……from the city dog catcher to the president (again with a small “p”).

Let me provide you with a few billboards along the highway we’ve traveled in just the past 12 months:

We now have a Congress (and a new board of “Czars”, answerable only to the president…a little loophole in the Constitution that Emannual and/or his brother found) full of folks who have never held a JOB other than being installed as an elected official or part of elected officials’ staff (i.e. gofers). They’ve never balanced a budget, met a payroll, understood micro-economics, international business, balance of trade…..etc. They’re in the club…..and that’s where they’ll stay. We have allowed them to stay in the club by entrenching ourselves in raising our families and working the 1, 2 or 3 jobs that are required to give them (our families) an acceptable standard of living and education….understandable, but no longer acceptable.
We have lost the ability to speak out against the president and his policies unless you’re ready to be labeled a racist, part of a mob, terrorist, Nazi, stupid, ignorant, a piece of “astro-turf”, Ms./Mr. Palin, a homophobe, a religious nut, McVey wanna-be, a person who clings to “his/her guns and religion”….yada yada.
Speaking out against the p and his policies gets your neighbors and other organizations to turn you into the government for “fishy” activity.
We accept the notion that freedom in America means that everyone should not only have the same opportunity to succeed, but be guaranteed the same result via a level playing field regulated by the power-elite….WRONG! In America you have the opportunity and freedom to succeed AND the opportunity and freedom TO FAIL.
The p is now seeking the ability to CONTROL THE INTERNET. If passed this bill, introduced by some dolt from the Carolinas, would give NoBama the ability to shut down the internet…..thereby stopping dissenting opinion, retail commerce, and the various financial activities that currently occur (stock trading and investment banking). Let me make this a little more personal to some of you…..he’ll shut down Facebook and your little farm too!!!! Now if that doesn’t call you to action, I don’t know what will!!
The p is also now calling for what amounts to a civilian militia to protect our local communities…..protect them from WHAT? Isn’t that why we have a police force and if need be, a National Guard? I guess that doesn’t get down close enough to the individual as the “community organizer” would like. And you know, he’s all about saving ourselves FROM ourselves…..hmmm can you say German SA Unit? This is just a more intimate conduit to intimidate and report “fishy” behavior on your block….insert Rod Serling from the Twilight Zone from the famous “Monsters Are Due On Maple Street” episode.
And NOW…..well, they complain about literally blowing smoke in the face of a captured terrorist as torture…WHAT?! We read Miranda rights to battlefield combatants…WHAT?! We’re going to shut down GITMO and put these brainwashed lemmings into US general populist facilities (or some Caribbean Island where they can golf all day)…while looking to prosecute our own citizens for “harsh interrogation techniques”…WTHell is wrong with these people! Who’s side are they on?! No…really?

Might I suggest that there’s the Pro-American pool, the anti-American world view pool, and the governmental elitist pool, aka The New Greatest Snow on Earth….The Soros Puppets. (George Soros…go google this currency trading slime and his connection to US $$$ funding Brazilian Oil…in fact here’s a link that outlines his One World View via the European Model http://www.soros.org/resources/articles_publications/articles/europe_20061120 )
And this just breaking…..King Kennedy’s replacement…his 2nd wife??? WTHell is that?!!! Where does this type of logic come from? What qualifies this woman to be a Senator….the fact that she was involved with a Kennedy death that was not linked to an airplane, a bullet or…..a small trip off a real bridge to nowhere?!!!

And this list is just a quick list of the items I can think of in the couple of minutes it took to type up a bullet-point on each. We haven’t even gotten to the healthcare, cap and trade, and general energy policy (where, as mentioned above, the US Government…yes, NoBama, you and I)…..finance Brazilian off-shore drilling while refusing to drill here in the US???? How serious can this dolt be about getting off of foreign oil??? As serious as Soros wants him to be!

So wake up my friends…..this is not a Coke commercial where we all sing “I’d like to teach the world to sing…”; we’re not “back in the USSR”…yet.; but lately we are “walking quietly while carrying a……glass of milk and a big frickin’ cookie” to every hostile state and tyrant on the world stage; As Jack N., put so easily “Sell crazy somewhere else Nobama…we’re all stocked up here”!

Now these sub-human leaches that we call politicians are not the only ones to blame. Many folks think that politicians lie to the public….from FDR to Nixon, from Bush 43 to NoBama and the ultra left nuts that support him. But, and pay attention, we are to be held MORE culpable than any of them. Here’s a news flash….Politicians don’t lie to us…..they just re-enforce the lies we’ve told ourselves to the point of internalizing them as truth.

If Nobama thought the general populist of the country was going to be led down the road to slaughter the freedoms and liberties defined for us over 230 years ago quietly....”he’s gonna need a bigger boat”, because the “fishiness” he seeks is like swimming in a shark tank of recently chummed predators.

Sergeant Crowley, the sole class act in this trio, helps the handicapped Professor Gates down the stairs, while Barack Obama, heedless of the infirmities of his friend and fellow victim of self-defined racial profiling, strides ahead on his own…maybe Nobama should have turned around to see the real “teachable moment”???

Goldman SUCKS!!

Shhhh…keep this one private in case Nobama’s “thought police” are listening!!!

Yeah, so while your sweating whether your firm will be laying you off, reducing your salary, and/or raising the co-pay of your benefits package……don’t worry, the average Joe over at Goldman Sucks that took billions of $$$ of YOUR money to stay afloat will be averaging a year end bonus for ’09 of $700,000.

If you’re a small business owner, or a gear in the machine, feel good about supporting government bilking firms, their employees, and the elected officials that keep them in the money printing business via your dedication, budgeting, cost cutting and the personal sacrifice of your family…..they and their kids appreciate it!

And if you live in NJ….remember from where the current jackass in charge came from and where he’s taking the state….toss his ass on November 3rd!!!

OK…gotta go grab a cup ‘o Joe and take my SOMA**

I don’t care if you voted for this dolt or not….you need to know that he has taken us from Capitalism to Socialism to Communism, and now is eyeing Fascism!!! Yep, he is now asking the public to report any senders of emails and/or web-sites that criticize Der Furher……isn’t this the 1st thing Hitler did….censorship…elimination of opposing opinions??? Well, the answer is yes…..so strap on your jack boots, break out the brown shirts, practice your goose-stepping, because the “Night of Long Knives” can not be far off!!

NoBama TV Series!!!

2009-07-31T04:55:00.000-07:00

So, did you guys gonna tune in for the new FOX TV show?? Yep, Nobama, ever the media savvy king of dolts, has brokered his beer picnic into a TV Pilot. The name of the show…of course….”Hops”. It premiers as a logical spin-off series of the popular show “Cops”, and will air just before America’s Most Wanted on Saturday nights.

The network wanted to keep the general feel of “Cops” when it rolled out “Hops” so the reggae theme song will remain in-tact with a couple of lyrical updates:

Huh! Bad Boys Bad Boys
What cha’ gonna do?
What cha’ gonna do when Nobama comes for you?

Call about someone who rob
Policeman doing his job
But-ta-I need distraction and photo op
So get the perp and grab the cop….hey, hey….hey hey!

Bad Boys Bad Boys
What cha’ gonna do?
What cha’ gonna do when Nobama comes for you?

Biden: ““Hops” is filmed on location with the stupid sons of bitches you elected to run this country.”

Tommy Foxes 6/12 Party Review!!!

2009-06-16T05:59:00.000-07:00

OK, so I was going to write the official re-cap of 6/12-6/13 (for some of us) gig, and I got to thinking about the experience a bit. 1st it was GREAT! I think everyone agrees that that was one of the better ones!!! Thanks Harts or whoever put that together….can wait to see everyone at the next one!!!

But, knowing me, I always try to get a little more out of….well the term is, the “synchronicity” of events. Which if you’re not into Jung, it’s the convergence of seemingly random events that culminate in a single organized purpose….got it? There’s a reason I buy wine by the bottleJ

So, after a couple of conversations, and more than a few emails since, with one of my resurrected acquaintances, she and I noticed that we have a lot in common. Not only now, ….but all those years ago regarding personal outlooks and relationships.

My general theory on relationships is that it’s like an open house or party….and you’re the house. Some people just walk past your house because they don’t like something about it…maybe it doesn’t look “right”; maybe the lawn needs to be cut, or shrubs need pruning…etc. I politely wave to these folks and encourage them to keep walking….even though some do stop just to gawk at the ownerJ.

Anyway, some people come inside and leave you with things you will hang on your wall and treasure forever. Other folks show up for some free foodJ. Some people walk in and pocket anything that you haven’t nailed down and hold secure. Still others enter…mess the place up…and then leaveJ.

So as you can see from above about ¾ of folks show up for what they can get, take, or change about/from you and your house; all while you are the most vulnerable in opening up that very house to them. But, on the upside, the folks that add to your décor are priceless…..even if they bring fruit cakeJ.

So, as I look back on the ever-growing road behind me, and no…not talking about my ass, I notice that I’ve hosted quite a few of these parties….probably since I was in high school. So WTF does all this have to do with TF on Friday?? Well, I soon noticed that I was smack dab in the middle of a Garden Party…not mine, but a collective one. So for those of you that gave me something from your house to bring home to mine….Thanks! I’m already making room on the wallJ.

Now, there was a really under-rated singer named Rick Nelson (Ozzie, no not that Ozzy & Harriet Show), from Ridgefield Park, NJ, who I think comes to the same conclusion that my resurrected gal pal and I have come to…..and after a lifetime of hosting Garden Parties, I really just can’t say it any better….so here it is, see below for link and words….

Good luck with your next Garden Party…see you at the next one at TF’s!!!!

Here’s the link for a performance of the tune (copy and paste into browser):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_exY9ptMbA

Here’s the words:

I went to a garden party
to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again

When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name
No one recognized me, I didn't look the same

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself

People came from miles around, everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air
'n' over in the corner, much to my surprise
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself

lott-in-dah-dah-dah, lot-in-dah-dah-dah

Played them all the old songs, thought that's why they came
No one heard the music, we didn't look the same
I said hello to "Mary Lou", she belongs to me
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk, it was time to leave

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself

lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah) lot-in-dah-dah-dah

Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode
Playing guitar like a-ringin' a bell and lookin' like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories were all I sang, I rather drive a truck

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself

Fool Interrupted Mobile Action!!

2009-06-02T15:05:00.000-07:00

Fool Nation…Event Alert!!!

The Fool Interrupted is in the planning stages of a movement to protest the appearance of Fidel Springsteen at his Giants Stadium shows in October.

We hold these truths to be self-evident:

1. Fidel, like the corporations and Capitalism he now condemns, made millions on the working class people of the USA
2. Fidel uses a publicly provided platform as a stage for political propaganda machine
3. Fidel refuses to enter any serious debate forum about the issues, but continues to voice one-sided views to his captive audience
4. Fidel believes in a welfare state that encourages governmental relliance instead of self-reliance (translation: Government is your Mommy)
5. Fidel condemns corporate free-enterprise Capitalism, backing union power-brokers who now have to explain the shutdown of 6-7 GM plants to the rank-in-file everyday folk

One of our hopes is that when the Socialists that Fidel promotes take over the country and cap the salaries of Financial Executives, Wall Street Brokers, Corporate CEOs and BODirectors, and…YOU, that it also puts restrictions on the earning potential of entertainers like Fidel.

I think Fidel should make about 70K a year….maybe less, and 50 some-odd % of that should go to the government for re-distribution. That’s about right; I mean the record industry has been on a steep decline since the emergence of the Internet (Thanks Al Gore for inventing it) and the idea of “Free Downloads and File Sharing). Oh, but wait…..wasn’t Fidel on the front lines to protect his interest in, guess what, getting paid every nickel he was due for copyright infringement? Didn’t he even travel to the UK to appear in court to protect his assets? He’s for “What’s mine is yours”….why isn’t his music free for all? I think these Giants Stadium concerts are free…..aren’t they?

Oh…sorry that was Leno giving the free shows to displaced auto workers…..

This has all the makings of the Gitmo hypocracy that we know see from the Democratic Senate…..”shut down Gitmo, just don’t send them to my state!” lobby?

We will also be looking to find some open land in Rumson to build a new Gitmo…..maybe Fidel can then sing “Al-kaboomy 99”…See separate email/posting for sing-a-long lyrics

And we celebrate the release of the Beatles Sgt. Pepper 42 years ago "yesterday" by updating the LP cover to the "Summer of Nobama":

More to follow……..

Fool Interrupted PAC

2009-05-27T11:40:00.000-07:00

OK…so…we’re thinking about starting a PAC (Political Action Committee) to advance the ideas of the Fool Interrupted Nation…..documented of course in The Foolish Doctrine. Now, by being a member of FoolPAC, you will be recognized within your community as being Foolish, not a bad label at all. When assaulted by those that question the very idea of Foolishness, you may re-iterate item 9 of our credo which simply states:

“In this day and age, you ARE a Fool to care”

This aligns itself with the Propaganda that the NoBama administration has been spoon feeding to the world since January. Anyone opposed to the honey that drips from the great one’s lips is….a Fool. And, here at Fool Nation, it is our hope to make that come to pass!!!

Many of you have already read our official rebuttal to the Administration entitled “The Audacity of This Dope”…and as predicted, this pied piper of a welfare state has spent future treasure, been used as a propaganda photo-op by Hugo, been told to get lost by NATO and the EU. And sat by and watched as IRAN, North Korea and Pakistan come dangerously close to the opening act of setting off a GTNW (Global Thermal Nuclear War).

It is our belief that there are many more Fools out there than really recognize that they are in fact….Foolish. So continue to act Foolish wherever you go…..in the meantime, here’s an item submitted by a Fool Interrupted regular to help recognize other Fools in your area:

Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Redneck?

Here is a little test that will help you decide:

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you.

You are carrying a .40 cal Glock, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

Democrat's Answer:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor! Or oppressed?

Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away?

What does my wife think? What about the kids? What about the UN? Shouldn’t someone consult the UN??

Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?

What does the law say about this situation? Would shooting him be an “enhanced technique”?

Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?

Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?

Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?

Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?

If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?

Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a “paint and weed day” and make this a happier, healthier, street that would discourage such behavior. And get rid of that statue of Jesus outside the church on the corner….that can really piss some people off!!!!

This is all so confusing; I thought we were “Working On A Dream”??

I need to discuss with some friends over a latte and try to come to a consensus. Maybe he’d like to join us, so we can better understand the Manson-like tendencies of his religion of love??

Maybe we could supplement these executions via a new be-heading tax, and actually provide victims that everyone agrees can be walked on without repercussions…..Christians!!

Republican's Answer: BANG!

Redneck's Answer:

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click.... (Sounds of reloading)

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click

Daughter: 'Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points?'

Wife: 'You are not taking that to the taxidermist!'

The only thing that would throw me into the “Redneck” category other than the Republican one is that I don’t know for a fact that I could blow the Islamo-Nazi’s head off in one shot.

Best and Worst Bows in History...

2009-04-25T21:27:00.001-07:00

The best and worst bows in history…..

Start the “change the rest of us can believe in”…..2009 in NJ, 2010 in DC, 2012 the White House

TaliBama..."Home of the Arrogant"?!!

2009-04-03T19:10:00.000-07:00

I’ve had it….today Talibama is in France and bashes the US….and we quote:

”In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world," he said before offering other European critical views of his country. "There have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive."

Hmmm “Europe’s Leading Role”…yep lead us right into WW1, WW2, The Inquisition, Communism, Fascism and Ultra Liberalism. Is the word “lemming” of European origin?

OK, let’s move on. I guess that “arrogance” was what spilled out of the American soldiers on the beaches of Normandy? “Dismissive”…hmmm maybe at the defensive claims of Nazis at Nuremburg? “Derisive” (mocking)…only towards this farce of a president…with a small “p”.

This on the heels of the Talibama’s Harem of Political Harlots is redefining the English language…..

”Terrorists” are now to officially be known as “Religious Hooligans w/a propensity to spontaneously combust”. The “War On Terror” is now referred to as “Overseas Contingency Planning” or some shit like that. So I’ve done some re-naming of my own…..

The title of 1st Lady will be put on hold, and we will refer to Talibama’s wife as “Hairy Pits”. This barely beat out “Queen of Affirmative Action”, “Jackie Oh-no” and of course “White House Yoko”. We are, as we assume most of the…”at this point” free world is, very grateful that Hairy Pits has chosen to bare her arms and not her ass. By the way, there is no truth to the rumor that she co-stared in Rocky 1 during the meat locker sequence (2nd side of hanging cow to the right of Stallone)…. she WAS however offered a “walk-on” role for a re-worked Wendy’s “where’s the beef” commercial.

We will also be petitioning for a 4 year hiatus of the term “President” with a capital “P” as long as Talibama is in office. We have chosen a literary term from the Hugo classic Hunchback Of Notre Dame which honors both Talibama and his supporters. The title “King Of Fools”….it’s also very French and Euro-unionish….don’t cha think?

But fear not! While King Of Fools and his sidekick, Hairy Pits, escort the US, it’s history and citizenry to the back of the bus….assuming a fetal position on the transport that is the One World Vision of the Chinese, Europe, and yes, even the Religious Hooligans of Islamo-Nazism….we know that the apocalypse can not be far off……..Thank God. More on this in a later issue….

Barakamo!!!

2009-03-25T07:19:00.001-07:00

OK…so after watching “Der Furher” last night at the yellow journalism, I mean news conference….I had immediate reactions. I DVR’d the show in case I ever have to induce vomiting again…so it wasn’t a total waste. Now after all of the evasive non-answers…I felt like I needed a long vacation from this guy. So I started thinking about the beach….and then The Beach Boys…and then..about Barakamo!!

Now if you’ve forgotten the basic tune of this Beach Boys hit…go here for an update:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rBjpjEAi24

Then return here for the official Fool Interrupted lyrics….(come on in…the water’s warm…and you paid for it):

Down In Barakamo

Verse 1:

Near the Florida Keys,
There’s a place called Barakamo,
You earn your money and they take your dough
Down in Barakamo.

So let’s all..

(Chorus)
Worship Obama,
Come on Octo-mama
The hand-outs, the bail-outs, the teleprompter “canned” outs

Don’t ask for inspection,
Cause “we” won the election,
Ooooh…That’s where we find ourselves….down in Barakamo!

Verse 2:

The sun sets on your dreams,
Work your life with nothing to show,
Asking where’d my 401 go…
It’s in Barakamo.

So while we…

(Chorus)
Got it, let’s spend it,
Don’t read the bill amend it,
We’ll spend billions, then trillions and argue over millions

Feign outrage and anger,
We know you’re a wanker,
But he runs the show…down in Barakamo

(Chorus in the round while fading)

TaliBama on Leno Show!!

2009-03-20T06:29:00.000-07:00

Well….he’s got the Presidential March Madness Board on ESPN, and tonight he’s on the Leno show. Seems TaliBama just can’t get enough of doing anything…..but HIS JOB! Back in October or so, I wrote about the US burning like Rome while Springsteen played one of his fake southern drawl Woody Guthrie sounding tunes. Well, I’m no Kreskin, but we’re pretty close to that today…and closing fast!!

In case you missed it, the Fed is releasing, I’m sorry, printing another Trillion or so dollars to put out in the market to stimulate the economy. This will certainly lead to a deflation of the dollar to the point that it is worthless. So.....oh wait, time for an aside here…

Did you hear how TaliBama had to reverse himself on his plan to make wounded veteran’s pay for their own follow-up treatment via their personal medical plan? If this went through, nobody would hire these folks because of the premium cost. And if they were hired, in some cases, they would easily outlive the max lifetime benefit of their plan. So all you “Born In The USA” Vietnam, Gulf 1, Iraq and Afghanistan vets…let’s here it:

“Went down to see my VA Man, he said,
Talibama took away your plan
Moron runs the USA
Moron runs the USA
Moron runs the USA”

But take heart, Bruce has a new tune he’s singing…”Working On A Dream”….in my estimation he should’ve been working on a better songJ. But he’s fighting the good fight to keep his tickets available and at reasonable prices for the up-coming tour……how ‘bout a US Government bail-out tour? Oh, sorry, that’s Bon Jovi who has concerts for ex-First Ladies who need help paying off campaign debt…..right state, wrong acorn. Did I say ACORN? It’s the word of the day……Yes, acorn has been recruited to participate in running the next US census!!

I wonder how many illegals, whoops can’t say that….I mean terrorists, whoops again, can’t say that anymore…let’s see…umm “People who weren’t born here or have a valid Green Card” will show up on the census………besides ObamaJ.

All this to say that, tonight is not Talibama’s first appearance on a TV Variety Show…..here he is on the 1st episode of Dancing With The Stars:

Here he is on American Idol:

And he WON on this show:

Well enjoy the Leno show tonight…..tomorrow is not looking so good!

Obama..First 100 Days Special Report!

2009-01-25T14:03:00.000-08:00

This just in……….as the “Obama First 100 Days” news watch continues:

Obama to shut own GITMO – Keeping his campaign promise Obama announced plans to shut down GITMO, the Cuban based military prison. Preliminary plans to build a Burger King on the site could not be confirmed. However, reports claim that Fidel Castro would be happy with what he got in 1963 ala Dallas…yes, a Jack In The Box.

President Obama enacted his new vision on the War On Terror. Obama has announced an end to torture of captured Al Queda operatives for terrorist target information as a matter of humanity and civility. In a similar move, he reinstated the US Government’s funding of late term abortions of babies around the world. Unconfirmed reports have Obama saying “These little bastards must be stopped!”. The ACLU and Nancy Pelosi hail the moves as a socially progressive move in combating the real threats to world peace.

In other news….The Lyin of the Senate, Ted Bundy Kennedy, sent the Inaugural Luncheon into a state of panic as it was reported that he had gone into a convulsive fit at his table. All were relieved to find out that he was merely reminiscing about Chappaquiddick, and re-enacting Mary Jo in the throws of asphyxiation, gasping for breath from the back seat of a sinking car.

Caroline Kennedy was also in the news spotlight this week, as she withdrew herself from consideration to replace Hillary Clinton in the Senate. When asked for comment Caroline said “ahh Ya know? Ya know? Ahhhh?”; The former Heckle and Jekyll star declined comment on the comparisons of her intellect to that of a brick.

In a related story, Alaska’s Governor Sarah Palin offered to send a caribou to Washington to serve as the interim NY Jr. Senator until someone with credentials and experience equivalent to Kennedy could be named. While appreciated, NY Sr. Senator UpChuck Schumer said that even though clearly over qualified, a red brick would be sworn in this upcoming week. Schumer declined to comment on rumors that the Geico Lizard would be running against him in November. As readers will recall, Schumer pulled out a squeaker in his Senate race against a handsome cab horse in 2003.

President Obama is also trying to pass a stimulus package through Congress, but the suggestion has hit a snag in the House. One congressman responded that it would be asking quite a lot of Mrs. Obama as Congress has so many “members”…(HA!) In a descending opinion, Senator Clinton responded that as long as the stimulation was in the nude without a blue dress, she thought that it could be put to an up and down vote on the Senate floor. Barney Frank said that he would merely vote “present” if such a measure was introduced.

Well, Bruce is back in the news again…playing at the Obamanation Celebrations. By the way, did anyone see Stevie Wonder? For someone who is blind, he evidently has no problem finding the refrigerator! Anyway, back to Brucie….

I was thinking about the first time I met Bruce and the unique surroundings, and it became an experience that I still look back on as learning experience; an observation of society, of me, and of the works of this world being put in a fire.

Now, my wife actually tells this story better than I do….but I’ll do my best.

So, it had come to pass that in that day I played in a band (sounds kinda Biblical…don’t it?). Anyway, yada, yada….you meet a lot of folks along the way. Anyhow one of the folks I met, who remains a friend still almost 20 years later, knows Bruce personally. And he’s known him for like 35-40 years.

Now this friend of mine had a death in the family, and he called me later that day to alert me as to where the wake etc. would be. So G and I made the drive over to the funeral home to pay our respects to my buddy and his family.

I walked into a very crowded room and made my way up to the couch just in front of the casket. As I said it was crowded, so I was leading my wife through the crowd by her hand. Finally reaching the couch I greeted my friend. I offered my condolences and was introduced to one of the patriarchs of his family sitting beside him.

It was at that moment that Bruce stood up from the couch and reached out to shake my hand as my buddy introduced him as “..and this is Bruce..”.

Now this is one of those times when you just don’t quite know what to say. Under different circumstances, I could’ve come up with any number of things. But, given the current situation, the best, and most, I could get out was “Nice to meet you Mr. Springsteen”….LOL!

So there I am with my mouth having just spewed out about the only thing I could think of other than “Holy Shit!”. Now, Bruce is just standing there…smiling from ear to ear, holding back what appears to be an outburst of laughter….at me! It’s then I notice that he’s gazing past me to G, and the 2 seem to be sharing some type of “yeah, my husband’s an idiot…” inside joke. It also dawned on me that more than a polite and comfortable amount of time had gone by with me just standing there caught in the moment that was quickly turning into like a full minute.

Just an aside, could you imagine if I ever did meet a Beatle? I’d be on a ventilator!

So with a little help from G pushing me forward, I made it to a seat. Now, at that point it was like the Jaws line “you’re gonna need a bigger boat”…except this time it would be spoken by my wife to the mortician….”you’re gonna need another casket”.:-)

So for about the next hour I sat and watched, star-struck to say the least. In front of me in the most unusual but yet common circumstances of life was one of my idols. A walking, talking album cover! One wave of this guy’s hand gets 70,000 people to their feet at Giants Stadium….

Now the thing that hit me…after my wife, was something that I realized and was reminded of at this particular occasion. I remembered how just about just 2 years earlier G and I sat in a doctor’s office who informed us that G had cancer. If you personally, or any member of your family has ever been told this type of news, you know what I mean.

It doesn’t matter who you are. Doesn’t matter what your job is. Doesn’t matter how much you have, or how much you make. Doesn’t matter where you live, or what size bed you sleep in. You suddenly have no immediate plans….you live day by day. Nothing….nothing matters. And obviously, the people closest to you feel hopeless because illness is a personal journey that folks can comfort you through, but it is yours to own.

As Bruce meandered through that room, I thought about how many people, including myself, had placed upon people (celebs) immortal mantels to carry. It’s like the sick kid in the hospital that Babe Ruth hits a homerun for….somehow the kid gets well and rides his bike again….right? Nope. But we’d all like to think so….

So as I sat and watched Bruce, the only thing this god with a small “g” could do was comfort my friend and his family. The same thing everyday ordinary folk with menial means, 9-5 jobs, unemployment checks, and their own ailments could do. The common denominator had made its visitation, and the only life of consequence and measurement that mattered was the one given up by the person in the box.

No miracles…..no raisings…and the only wines that were served were after the wake, and to my knowledge, it always had been wine……never water....HA!

I’ve had many experiences with Bruce since that night, and each time, I just try to observe. I listen to what is said, what’s not said….and I’ve learned quite a bit about him and from those times with him. Although I haven’t seen him in some time, now he’s just “Bruce”, not “Mr. Springsteen”..HA! LOL!

G never understood the magnitude of that meeting someone who had such an effect on my life through his music…maybe if it had been Bon Jovi? As I drove home that night, I had to explain to G that right behind The Beatles and Elvis, we had just met the biggest person in rock and roll….The Boss….right?

Well, what echoes through my mind, and has become the lesson of that night is that….“every knee shall bow, every tongue confess”. Jesus is not only the King of Kings, but Boss of Bosses.

You might be a rock 'n' roll addict prancing on the stage,
You might have drugs at your command, women in a cage,
You may be a business man or some high degree thief,
They may call you Doctor or they may call you Chief

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed - Dylan

And here they are....The Intros!!!

2009-01-15T07:51:00.000-08:00

One of the BEST times, so far, in my life was playing in a band..…collectively known as The Intros (I know I was never crazy about the name either). Now, the story goes that in trying to pick a name the 2 founding members agreed to flip open a book and pointed to a word….that word was “Introduction” and the Intros was born. I think if I had been in the band at that time, I would’ve argued that a two out of three kind of thing should've been employed. But there would be more than enough time for arguing down the road.

Now this band was a strictly Beatles cover band that I joined around 1987 or so. The two founding members, Fred and Craig, (aka John & Paul), needed a George. So a very sickly looking, gaunt me walked through the door with my Rickenbacker 330, and that was that. My playing aside, I think it was the sunken cheek, LSD/Cocaine period George image I conjured up that got me in.

The thing I liked about Fred and Craig, aside from the fact that we had a lot of laughs, is that they were dedicated not just to being a good band, put to absolute perfection. Yes, to be in this band, you needed to be a perfectionist…and in the end, it paid off greatly. We would practice 3-4 times a week for years, tediously learning each unique chord, dissecting and isolating each harmony part. We went for the vintage guitars and equipment as well….Rick and Gretch ruled the day!

At some point it was time to find a drummer to complete the group. This was no small task. Fred must have “auditioned” 5 or 6 guys, all of which would be showing up with Alex Van Halen drum sets and trying to do things that they just couldn’t execute. Never mind that their were no 10 minute drum solos for these wanna be Peter Criss’ to engage in.

Then finally, someone we thought would fit in walked through the door. His name was Jim. He was ok, but not down to perfection. His playing resembled the sound made by pushing a 5-piece drum set down 2 flights of stairs. But, at least we had some type of drum activity, or more accurately banging, happening behind us. However, I think we all knew that Jim was not going to be a long-term employee at the firm.

Case in point, at some session Jim suggested that we do “other” songs. Now this was not out and out blasphemy, we had started to apply our rigorous routine to REM, the Byrds and Petty tunes. I was not part of this conversation with Jimbo, I was just listening as I meandered around Fred’s basement where we would rehearse, seemingly making some guitar adjustments. So Fred, trying to be accommodating, pursues the conversation by asking what tune he had in mind. I think Craig turned away at this point as well, looking down at the ground, which is not unusual for Craig….but this was a more pronounced “What the heck are you doing Fred?” type of body language thing. Jim’s response….“These Boots Are Made For Walking” by Nancy Sinatra. I looked up from my fret board with a resounding “FU!”

Well, that just about sealed Jim’s fate, along with consistent reviews of the porn that he watched the night before (he was a f/t manager of a video store), his whining about how his mother thought he was gay, and looking over urinal walls at Fred’s umm manhood….he was gone. Somewhere there exists a audio tape of Jim’s firing. Fred taped it so that we could replay it at will for a laugh…..LOL! Actually, there’s a whole bunch of Intros audio and video that would make Let It Be look like a 10 minute 3 Stooges film. Maybe one day when I have the time, I’ll digitize what’s left and post them.

Jim’s spot was quickly filled by Frank. Now Frank was a really nice guy, and he resembled Pete Best…to a degree. He was a little short on the drumming chops, but he was a good guy, and didn’t mind sitting around for hours while we figured out guitar and vocal parts. Frank was in pretty much for the duration, he fit in fine……

So around rolls 1991, and we enter a Battle Of The Bands at the NY Beatlefest. For those of you not consumed by Beatlemania, Beatlefest is a national convention of Beatle fans, Beatle cronies, people who know, knew, worked with and for, and are related to one of the Fab Four. It’s a 3 day event that usually sells out all three days.

Anyway, bands from all over the east coast congregate there to win the Battle of the Beatle Bands. Basically, the winner, is chosen by an audience of a couple of thousand for their ability to sound as close to the originals as possible. So, off we go, practically straight from the basement to a huge auditorium….yikes!

We were 1 of 25 bands that enrolled that year. So, we went on, played our 2 songs, and were blown away by the audience reaction. So just like American Idol, we made it to the final 2 bands…wow! We thought that was great. So Jimmy Fink, a WNEW-FM has been DJ who was hosting the event decided to have a play-off as it were, as there could only be 1 winner.

We thought we had no chance, as this other band had keyboards and synthesizers and like 8 people in their band. Us, we had 4 guys, 3 guitars and a semi-drummer. Not exactly a 4 on 4 pick-up game as we saw it.

So we went up and played, and then they played. Then the Fink man announced the results…..WE WON!!! 1st out of 25…The Intros! Unfortunately, unlike American Idol, there was no recording contract waiting for us behind the curtain.

But we had proved something to ourselves…hard work pays off. Sometimes having the cops called while you’re rehearsing isn’t a bad thing, and wading through the arguments, the girlfriends, the mis-understandings, the constant battles with PMS within the band…HA!...made the result more than worth it.

Unfortunately, that lesson was lost somewhere along the way, but for that moment in time….we achieved our individual and collective goal! Here’s The Intro line-up outside the stage door: Craig (Paul, although he looks like a mini Stallone) on left, Frank (he had the most style sense as you can see), Your’s Truly (note the skeleton like appearance from yet to be diagnosed Celiac) and Fred (Lennon)…pretty much the founding member.

Not too long after this, the whole thing fell apart. I guess the question after you achieve a goal is “OK, now what?”, and I don’t think we had an answer, at least one we could agree on.

I don’t know what ever happened to Frank. I still talk to Craig on occasion. I just recently talked with Fred after about 15 years. There’s a lot of water under these bridges, but we’ll always have this to look back on. Through all the hard feelings, more than enough to go around (kind of like a plate of spinach at Thanksgiving), on my side of the equation, I consider them all my friends, and they will always be like brothers from different mothers to me….The Intros!

Boy that's a lot of neck!!

Soup Line forms to the LEFT...

2008-11-07T07:03:00.000-08:00

Well you Liberal Lemmings...hope you're happy. New numbers released yesterday indicate that 240,000 jobs were cut in the month of October. And guess who was doing the cutting? All were cut in the "small business" sector!!!

This is the same sector that McCain/Palin had been warning would cut jobs and NOT create them if NoBama was elected. And, just like the Wall Street, this was just the beginning of these cuts...think of it as preventive fiscal medicine.

Now you might think that the above picture is from the 1930's...not so. It was the invitation sent out for my high school reunion in November.

The bleeding has just begun in the small business community you dolts! So when it hits YOU, just remember the soup lines start, as they always do, on the Left.....

The End Times Are HERE!!?

The Lottery number selected less than 24 hrs. after NoBama was elected El Presidente...."666". No Joke...go to the Illinois Lottery site and check it out:
