A good friend of mine recently asked me if I would ever run for President of the US.  I responded by saying no because I do not have the money to do so.  But it got me to thinking…what would I do if I could run for President.  What would I change?  How would I run things?  Who would be my running mate?

So here goes folks, the campaign for Presidency in 2012 begins now!

I am hereby declaring myself to run for President of these United States in the year 2012 and my running mate will be Travis Sarbin.  We will run as a private party with no ties to the Tea Party, the Democrats or the Republicans.  We are Right and Left Brain.  I have no religious ties and Travis is LDS.  We are married men with children.  We have mortgages, bills, car payments, bratty kids, careers, wives that we consider our best friends and we have guns.  We are not perfect and we have not led clean and perfect lives.  We are not afraid to share with anyone the things we have done in our lives from the day we learned to walk.  We did not have perfect childhood lives and we got whooped when we got out of line.  We know what it will take to fix this country but it will take more than just the two of us *queue the song, Just the Two of us*.  It will take an entire nation to band together and follow our lead.

Step 1 - Privatize the prison system:  If you want criminals to feel the pain and suffering that they caused, then let us privatize the prison system.  The tax payers will no longer pay to house a criminal.  Criminals will work for their food and medical care.  Criminals will be treated as criminals, no special treatment.  The law will be simple, and eye for an eye.  You kill someone, you die.  Death row will no longer exist.  If we have DNA proof and all other evidence is in line, you die.  If you are sentenced to any other term other than death then you will be sentenced to secluded islands where you can earn your way back into society.  Death Race and Death Island will become a reality.  Race for your freedom or survive for your freedom and for our entertainment.  No matter how much money or power you have, you cannot buy your way out of a prison sentence.  Rapists and child molesters will be sold as prostitutes within the prison system by the prison company.  If you rape, prepared to get raped on a regular basis.  We will learn to live by the new saying, “If you do the crime, you will do the time”.

Step 2 - Legalize Marijuana:  Marijuana will be legal to all individuals 21 years old or older.  It will be taxed and regulated like liquor.  The tax on marijuana will be 45% in all 50 States.  Each State will be allowed 50 dispensaries and no more.  The 45% tax will be broken down as follows - 20% will go to schools and education for grades K through 12, 20% will go to the national debt until it is paid and the remaining 5% will go to the State budget fund.  Once the national debt is paid, then that 20% will go to national parks and landmarks.  Marijuana will only be smoked/used/consumed in the confines of your home or dispensary or regulated establishment.  This will not only help our debt as a nation, but it will bring a certain calm to our nation and it will help get people of off other drugs and pharmaceutical drugs.  If you allow marijuana to be consumed legally, then drug users will start to back away from other drugs such as meth, cocaine and prescription drugs.  Hemp can be used for clothing and other consumer goods which will bring in another source of income for our nation.  Marijuana is better for you that 95% of the prescription drugs out there.  Get your calculators out and look at what it could do for our nations economy.  Let’s say there was $10 billion dollars sold in the first year.  That is $4.5 billion dollars collected in tax money from sales alone.  Of that, $900 million dollars will go to our nations schools and another $900 million dollars to our national debt.  I know that does not hit the debt to hard but think about it…it keeps going up right now.  After 10 years that is $9 billion dollars added to our schools and $9 billion dollars subtracted from our debt.  It adds up quick.

Step 3 - Reorganize the government:  Currently it is every man for himself in the senate and in congress with the “good old boy” clicks ruling the way.  No more. Every sector of the government will be on 8 year terms, no more. Once your 8 years is up you are out and will no need to provide for yourself just like the rest of us do.  No more retirement pay for politicians.  All government jobs will be capped on their pay, including the President himself/herself. All senators and congressmen will earn $50K/year and the President and Vice-President will earn $75K/year. if you need more, get another job.

Step 4 - Government agency cutbacks:  Law enforcement and intelligence will still receive funding but at a lower rate.  We will begin by making regulatory agencies start funding themselves as they will only receive a very small funding from the tax payers.  They will learn to get more efficient rather than just get bigger/larger.

Step 5 - Confiscated funds:  When law enforcement and military seize money/goods, it is now theirs to help fund their groups.  If we seize $150 million dollars of drug cartel money we use it.  We will no longer just store it away as evidence.  This alone would bring in around $2 billion dollars annually.

Step 6 - Skynet:  Any questions?  If we continue to get dumb as a society, then let the machines take over.  Maybe that is a bit overboard and extreme, but we are getting dumber and lazier.

Step 7 - Taxation:  There will be a tax bracket for all incomes.  If you make $50K/year you will be taxed less than the person that makes $500K/year.  The more money you make the more you get taxed…plain and simple.  No more free rides bitches.

Step 8 - Welfare:  You will need to qualify for welfare/food stamps and keep qualifying every single month.  Each person can only receive these funds for a total of 2 years, no more.  After that, you better have a job that can pay your bills.  While on welfare/food stamps you cannot have any more children, if you do you lose that privilege for life.

Step 9 - Social Security: These are funds that are locked away and can only be used for Social Security purposes. there will be no borrowing or using these funds for any other purpose.

Step 10 - National Health-care: You may apply for this if you want it but no one is required to do so. If a company provides health-care to their employees then they receive a tax break each year on the amount of money they paid into it. If a company does not offer health-care to their employees, then get taxed higher…period.

Step 11 - Medical/Dental fees: Every single sector of the health-care world will charge the exact same price no matter how good you are or think you are. If I go see Doctor X he will charge the exact same amount as Doctor Y. These fees will be set in stone and will increase 1% every 8 years and no more.

Step 12 - Gun control: If you own a gun or want to own a gun, you will attend a class every 4 years to prove you are still worthy of owning a gun. You can own any gun you care to own as long as you can hold it with your own 1 or 2 hands. There will be harsh punishments in place for any misuse or idiotic ownership. If your child steals your gun and takes it to school and shoots or just shows it off, you will be held liable and so will your child.

We could go on for days but I think you get where we are taking this list. We as a society have gone overboard and we need to take a stand and correct this crap. To be honest, I would not be surprised if there is another civil war in the US the way things are going.

One last note, we will furnish our birth certificates from day 1…not 3+ years into our term.

If you know me, then you know I love the NFL and my Vikings.  I do not care if we have the worst season ever, I still love my Vikings.  After watching and listening to the labor dispute/lockout/whining session I have had just about enough.  I had not picked a side during this whole thing but watching and listening to players I have decided to side with the owners on this one.  Why?  Very simple…

The players say they deserve more money from their rookie season and on and even after they retire.  If you feel you deserve more money, then f’ing earn it.  Invest your money into something and see if it earns anything.  If you make some money, great…but if you fail and lose your hard earned money, deal with it!  That is exactly what the owners did on you when they signed/drafted you.  Think about it dumbass.  You want your owner, who is basically your boss, to give you more money for just being a player within the NFL even if you suck balls and fail…but the owner is not allowed to get his money back when you suck balls and fail.  Is that fair?!?  The owners OWN the team and you are just another employee that has a job to do.  I have a job and a boss…heck I have 2-3 bosses depending on the project.  Just because I kick ass on a project does not give me the right to scream and throw a fit and tell them to give me more money or else I will not work for a few weeks.  If I did that, I would be FIRED and someone else would get my job.  NFL players can be replaced, very easily…just like I can.

I personally feel like the NFL has a big hole to fill and it will take some work, but it can be done.  Cap the rookies so they stop f’ing the NFL up, give the players a retirement plan to play for with benefits so when they retire they can still live a decent life with health benefits.  If a player decides to not opt for the NFL retirement plan, then they are on their own.  They can figure out their own savings and benefits in life.  Just like the rest of us, we have to earn our retirement and we have to earn our benefits.  We cannot just scream for more money and tell our bosses that after working for 5-10 years we want full benefits and a large pension as well.  If players want to earn more money from their teams, then they have to do more.  They have to work in the front office, work charities, clean toilets, clean uniforms, wash some jock straps or whatever else the owner decides they need to do that day.

Did you know that the average NFL salary is $800,000/year?  On top of that salary they receive numerous perks and a large portion of players have one or more endorsements that pay them even more money.  Did you also know that during this labor lockout, current players and former players are comparing the NFL to Nazi camps and even referring to playing in the NFL as “modern day slavery”???  WTF?!?  I hate to be the person to inform your uneducated ass but slaves did not make $800K in a year, did not drive what ever vehicle they wanted or eat 3 meals a day…or have an entourage behind them.  And to compare the NFL to Nazi camps, that is just plain stupid and VERY uneducated.  If you want to know what slavery is like though, that can be arranged in certain countries…oh yeah, we have slavery in the USA right now.  There are sex slaves, immigrant slaves, drug slaves and so on.  How about you work for one of the drug cartels as a drug slave for 6 months and then tell me what was worse…the NFL or the drug cartel.  To say that working in the NFL is that bad, find another job/career.  There is thousands of other players that would kill for your job or even your opportunity.  Better yet, how about you go work for McDonalds for 1 year at $9.00/hour and tell me if you want back into the NFL or not.  There are millions of people in the US alone that will never see what you will make in 5 years during their entire life time.  The last time I looked, no NFL team burned or hung a player because they got tired of them or because they had a different religious belief or because they were of a different skin color.  Next time you want to say something profound like comparing your job to a Nazi camp or slavery…go visit a modern slave or read a f’ing book.

The owners bought their teams and they decided how to run them.  They have employees and bills to pay just like the players and have bills to pay.  If the players do not like the treatment they are getting, then quit.  Go stock my grocery shelves, flip a burger, become a stock broker, sell a house…get a job like the rest of us.  We as fans pay your salaries whether you understand that or not.  We have a right to boo you when you make dumb plays and cheer for you on great plays, it is our right as a fan…that pays your salary.  We have a right to voice our opinion about the labor dispute as a fan…that pays your salary.

I am a fan of the NFL, but enough is enough guys.  You get paid to entertain us, but piss us off enough and we will find other ways to entertain ourselves.  Remember one thing, the fans ARE and WILL always be the largest investor the owners have.

Yes folks, the Westboro Baptist Church has found another group to protest against…nerds and geeks.  HUGE mistake as we will destroy the stupid group of the World.  the WBC is so damn idiotic and stupid it actually hurts listening to them.  So to have fun with the protest, the geeks and nerds started their own protest of the protest.  Epic fun begins right away.

WBC, please just crawl into a hole of a dead Tan Tan and rot away so we no longer have to listen to your garbage!

This is pretty damn funny and to be honest I think they both have some serious marble issues.  I like them both as actors but I think their fame and fortune have drove them bat-s**t crazy!  This is very NSFW so please do not get fired for these idiots.

“…and the truth shall set you free…”

Not in the case of McGwire.  I have only read one decent story about Mark McGwire admitting to steroids and the rest seem to be bashing him and basically telling him to get lost and that MLB should ban him for life.  So as a society today, when someone admits fault then we should shun them forever and call them cheaters and cowards?!?  This is not the way we want to live our lives.  We should live our lives as a caring and forgiving society, not a hateful society.  Even though these so called baseball experts want McGwire banned for life, we have current and active players in MLB playing and getting paid millions…after they admitted to using steroids.  If we want to take a firm stance, then every player that ever gets caught for cheating in any way needs to be banned for life, no questions asked.  If a sports writer does a false story, they should be banned for life from writing about sports.  MLB needs to do away with their suspensions for failing drug tests.  If you fail, you are banned for life.  Does that make sense to be that critical?  No.  Yes, cheating is wrong and should be punished.  But to say that one player should be banned for life and the others are forgiven is stupid and makes you look like a jackass.  A-Rod can admit to steroids and other drugs, swing his dick around every city in the World and use women like rag dolls…but he gets a free pass because he was young and dumb when he used them…or…he learned his lesson and has never cheated since.  Really?  REALLY?!?  Let’s ask his ex-wife how truthful of a man he is.  Let’s ask Madonna how truthful a man he is.  Come on man, wake the f**k up.  There was an entire era of baseball that was filled with drugs, steroids, HGH and what ever else they could get a hold of.  It was encouraged by trainers, scouts, managers and other players.

Should they hold records in the record books? No.  Should they be hailed as hero’s? No.  Should they be banned from MLB? No.  They should be used as poster boys of the wrong way of doing things for the younger generation out there.  The media always hypes how these drugs make boys into men with great strength and makes it unfair for the non-drug users.  Is that message we want our kids to read or hear about?  No.  The message should be about the side affects that these drugs can cause now and in the future.

I will keep Mark McGwire’s apology recorded for my son to watch when he gets a bit older.  I want him to see a grown man have to admit to the World the mistakes he made.  I want my son to know that there is a right way and a wrong way of playing sports.  The wrong way has life long lasting affects, medical affects and mental affects.

Having McGwire as a coach on the St Louis Cardinal’s is a great thing for baseball.  He will be there to tell every player around him the downside of everything he did.  He is basically like taking an ex-con into a school and letting him/her tell every student the bad side to prison…in graphic detail.  McGwire is going to be a modern day baseball scared straight coach.  He loves baseball and dedicated his life to it.  He has passion and love for a sport and that is something he can pass along to other players young and old.  If McGwire coached my son in baseball, I would feel honored to have such an honest and caring man teach him the right and wrong in baseball.

To be a sports writer and come out and say, “Ban him for life for lying, stealing and cheating”, is ignorant.  He apologized to the World after he apologized to his family, friends, fellow players and more importantly to the Roger Maris family.  He knows what he did was wrong and he came out to tell everyone after telling the ones he hurt the most first.  I also believe he saw how close he was to making the Hall of Fame and that really drove him to admit his wrong doing.  He knows he will never make the Hall after this apology and he accepts that.

You have to remember folks, taking steroids does not give you the ability to hit a 90 MPH fastball, a 12 o’clock to 6 o’clock breaking ball or the coordination to play great defense at a hot corner like first base.  It gave McGwire the ability to heal injuries quicker, get stronger and train longer.  Yes you can account for some homeruns going 500+ feet to steroids, but not every one of them.  Baseball is still a skill of the mind and takes great talent to make it to the majors.  I do agree that records should be cleared out of the record books, but do not clear out the players themselves.

*Note*
Steroids can give you an advantage in many sports, but in a game of skill and coordination it only goes so far.  Sports like boxing, MMA, martial arts, football (certain positions) and rugby, it gives you a great advantage…not in baseball.

Please accept this post as a message from the general public and one very outspoken fan of professional sports and the American People.  You suck.  I have watched you go from a flashy tie wearing, decent comment speaking guy to a complete moron with s**t in his mouth and hands and you fling it like it was beads at Mardi Gras.  I actually used to listen to you and think maybe this guy has a point.  Then I started to grow up and realize what a complete idiotic jack@$$ you are.  Every once in a while you come out with some decent speech or rant and it sounds good but then you follow it up with complete diarrhea of the mouth.  Being a huge professional sports fan I was angry and sad at your comments when you tried your ESPN Countdown gig about 6 years ago.  Now that you are attempting to buy a stake in the St Louis Rams, the NFL had better stand up and point your @$$ to the closest KKK rally and send you packing.

Let’s take a look back at what you suggested on ESPN Countdown.  You suggested Eagles black quarterback Donovan McNabb was overrated by a sports media concerned about looking politically correct.  Are you kidding me man?  McNabb is a solid QB with a solid career and has numerous charity events and groups he dedicates his time to.  The guy was drafted and booed like there was no tomorrow yet he stuck it out and fought through everything.  Now the city of Philadelphia loves their QB and can appreciate everything he has done for their football team.

Do you think that McNabb has zero friends in the NFL?  If you were allowed to buy into the Rams you would get boycotted by just about every player in the league.  These guys are a family and stick by each other.  Just ask Michael Vick if his brotherhood of NFL players stick by each other.  The NFL does not need you or care about you.  What the NFL needs is leaders and mentors, not jerk @$$, moronic s**t flinging numb-nuts like yourself.

Want to keep this debate up?  Then let’s move forward with your brilliance of speech.

Statement about our President Obama: “Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, ruled by dictate.” - Holy s**t @$$munch!  I may not be sold on Obama or some of his political agendas but to compare a husband/father/leader to one of the worst human beings of all time.  That is just flat out stupid and uneducated of a statement.  If Obama were anything like Hitler, my guess is that you would have been cooked well done on a nice over-sized oven by now.

Statement about Michael J. Fox’s struggle with Parkinson’s disease: “He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He’s moving all around and shaking and it’s purely an act… This is really shameless of Michael J Fox.”- Wow man, seriously?!?  So he is faking his disease and faking the shakes.  Do you actually know anyone with Parkinson’s disease?  My Grandmother on my Father’s side of the family has it and she shakes without any control what so ever.  She is aging faster than you can imagine and to think that someone would say she is faking…we need to talk face to face to settle this one.  You and I need to put on the gloves, step into the cage and settle this one like men.  I really hope for this comment you get some life threatening disease that takes you down so someone can come out and say you are faking.  Maybe then and only then will you ever understand what that comment felt like.

Statement to a black caller on his radio show: “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”- Yet another reason I would steer clear of the NFL if I were you.  Where I work we actually do work in Africa and have an African working here in the States.  I can admit I have never seen or heard of anyone wearing a bone in their nose.  Now I have seen tribes people in Africa/South America/Central America that do body dis-figuration’s of all kinds but they do not represent the average person from those regions.  If you want to see bone wearing folks, look right here in the States at some of the younger generation running around.  They disfigure their ears, eyes, noses, mouths and anything else they can stick a piece of metal/bone through.

Statement about the NAACP: “The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”- Can you say stereotype @$$hole?!?  So now black people are the only people that rob liquor stores???  So all the white/hispanic/latino/asian people in prison/jail never robbed a liquor store before?  Weird, I thought robberies were committed by every race there is.  But what do I know, you are the all mighty and all knowing “Master Race”.  Do you think this comment will sit well with NFL players?

Statement about the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal: “This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation, and we’re going to ruin people’s lives over it, and we’re going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time.” - Just because the enemy commits horrible acts against our men and women during war does not give us the right to act a fool.  Did they hurt anyone doing this?  No.  But was it a disgrace to us as a nation?  Yes.  99% of our men and women in the armed forces are great people with a great head on their shoulders.  Having a good time during war is having a drink with the troops; going to a USO show; calling home; getting letters from home.

Last but not least is your statement about the NFL: “Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons.”- The icing on the cake my man.  I am sure that every single player in the NFL and retired from the NFL thinks this is a good and okay statement to make.  Two thirds of the NFL is black and yes, there have been some morons to join the league (PacMan Jones* and Michael Vick** are great examples) but they do not represent the average player in the NFL.  These guys work damn hard at what they do.  They entertain us and they break our hearts.  They work damn hard at charity work and good will gestures.  To associate the black players in the NFL to gang bangers and thugs is flat out stupid.

I once saw an episode of Southpark where everyone figured out how to crap from their mouths.  Listening to you and watching what you do I can now understand where the episode came from.  You have so much s**t flowing from your mouth it is disgusting.  Remember one thing Rush, you do not represent the average American like you say you do and you will never be able to live these statements down.  You made them, you live with them.  Stay out of the NFL and away from our children.

* - I chose PacMan Jones because he is a moron and a thug wanna-be.  He flashed his cash, when he had some and thought he was the top dog and King of the World.  Funny how fast your World crumbles when you do not take care of it and let your so called friends help run your life.

** - I chose Michael Vick because he was a leader of a very strong underground World.  He is trying to make amends and that is great.  He is a gifted athlete and only time will tell if he has actually changed his life for the better.  I would actually shake his hand and tell him congrats and wish him the best.  I for one understand what getting a second chance at life is about.

To any and all NFL folks reading this.  Rush Limbaugh is the modern day Anti-Christ and he would hurt the NFL more than help it.  Keep him as far away as possible and find a solid hard working group of investors to work with.

If you know me then you know I have good knowledge of the Justice system and how it works.  I have watched things lately and have been floored by some stories recently.  I have been slacking on my posts lately but things are crazy in Reinhold Land.  I watched as former NY Giants WR Plaxico Burress was taking into jail the other day and watched his emotion on his face.  The guy is scared S**TLESS and has a good reason to be.

Let’s first start with why I think our Justice system is failing us.  Over the Spring of 2009 a football player, Cleveland Browns WR Donte Stallworth was driving his vehicle both drunk and stoned.  He then hit a pedestrian and killed him.  HE KILLED HIM!  He did this while being drunk and stoned.  Now knowing what you just heard, what do you think his punishment was?

1. 23 days of jail and a lifetime ban on getting a drivers license
2. 23 weeks of jail and a lifetime ban on getting a drivers license
3. 23 months of jail and a lifetime ban on getting a drivers license
4. 23 years of jail and a lifetime ban on getting a drivers license

If your answer was #1, you are correct.  He served 23 days in jail and cannot get a drivers license ever again.  WTF?!?  So let me get this straight, you kill someone with your vehicle while being stoned and drunk and you serve 23 days of jail and can no longer drive legal in the US.  *shrugs shoulders*

Now let’s move over to Plaxico Burress now.  He goes to a night club with some buddies and has a gun in his pants (save the gun in pants or happy to see me jokes for later).  The gun slips and while fumbling for the gun in his pants he shoots himself in the leg.  He shoots himself in the leg, not anyone else or anything else.  He shot himself folks…in his own damn leg.  Dumbass, yes…dangerous, yes…stupid as f**k, yes…funny, well yeah it is.  Anyways.  He now is going to serve 2 years in prison and will serve another 2 years of supervised release.  Granted he will serve about 20 months in jail but still.

So my rant today is that one person kills a man while being drunk and stoned serves 23 days in jail and another who shot himself will serve about 20 months in jail.  I am not the smartest man alive, I am not the lawyer type person and I am not a judge.  But I see a very clear case of “bad justice system” being played out here.  There is no way to explain this to me other than to say one guy got the shaft (save the prison shower jokes for later) and the other guy got the yellow brick road.

To me this is a very serious problem in our society today.  Yes we have other issues out there and other larger problems to deal with but our Justice system can become a very large problem sooner than we may think.  Do I feel that the President needs to address this, no.  I think this is a problem that the entire country needs to address.  I see way too many people buy their way out of trouble but yet the little guy with no green backs can get years and years of prison abuse for the exact same crime.  I know that is not what happened in these two cases, except that Stallworth bought his way out.

Simple fix to our crime rate and justice system.  Bring back public executions (hanging, stoning, burning, etc) and let the prison systems run as a private corporation.  Let the private companies do as they please to prisoners.  Once you become a prisoner, you lose all rights and are no longer a citizen.  If and when you get released, you have to earn your citizenship or face exile to an island.  On this island you will have savage beatings, raping and whatever else you can think of.  if every person knew this could happen to them, things would change quick…real quick!

I know this is rude and crude, but if you knew that these things could happen to you…I bet you would think twice about everything you ever did.

Cheers.

You may or may not remember these complete freaks of nature but they have made the news again.  I have tried to search and determine a word that best suits these freaks of nature but cannot find one.  I cannot describe how sad I feel for their children being raised in this culture of hate.  Where in any bible or religious writing does it teach hate?  I have posted on these morons in the past with the ever famous Santa will kill your childrenbut to sing a song about God hates the World and all her people…WTF?!?  If God hates the World and all her people…does that not include you?  I mean you do live on this World correct?  Or are you broadcasting from another planet?  Please do me a huge favor and everybody else a favor…drink some tainted kool-aid and die.  Seriously…please just die and go away.  I do not promote hate or tell people to hate, but you and your following…I hate you all!  You suck in every way possible.

Here is the link to their website, but I warn you it is wrong in every way possible.  I know posting about this is like giving them free publicity but we need people to be aware of who is out there.  These people truly scare me.

If you know me in any way you know that I love MMA and going out to watch UFC at Champ’s.  Some have even asked if Champ’s pay me to endirse them…I only wish they did (that is a huge hint Nate, Mr. Manager of Champ’s at Aspen Grove).  Anyways, for me MMA is the best thing to watch other than professional football.  If the NFL is not careful the UFC fan based will get so big it could even overshadow the NFL…in a few years maybe.

Back to the story, if you watched UFC 100, you saw a masterful beat down in the heavyweight division by Brock Lesnar.  His only MMA loss is to Frank Mir and he came in with anger and attitude and got his revenge as he beat Frank Mir’s face in.  This fight was one of the big reasons I watch MMA.  The pure gladiator feeling of it, the blood being sprayed everywhere, the arms and legs getting bent in ways they are not supposed to be bent.  Men are in nature drawn to violence and sex, that is why they have the card girls between every round.  We get to see the TNA and watch violence at the same time.  it is like watching a pure action movie.  Some people object and say that it promotes violence, exploits women and is just not a proper thing to have on TV or see live in person.  To those folks I say, “STFU and go help your kids solve the next Diego/Dora story!  These women are not exploited, they are working and getting paid for looking beautiful.  These men and women that fight are getting paid for putting on a great fight.  These men and women train very hard for their MMA fights.  If you dislike something, CHANGE THE CHANNEL!”

I have been watching MMA since I first saw the UFC live here in Denver on November 13th of 1993.  This is back when the fights were tournament style and not one on one.  You had to fight until the end and if you could not go an alternate was put in your place.  I watched with amazement and joy as the Legend Royce Gracie one that day.  He had to endure 3 fights that day and still showed his master ability of submissions.  I also one other legend that night, Ken Shamrock, get beat by Royce Gracie.  Since that day, I have been hooked and I can proudly say my wife is hooked as well.  Of course she loves the women fights just as much as I do.

Man, I keep getting off track here…back to the idea of this story now, Brock Lesnar.  I heard people “boo” and piss and moan about how he acted after he beat the ever living crap out of Frank Mir.  I disagree, what he did was draw more fans to the UFC.  People talked about this fight that night, the next day and are still talking.  That talk leads to more people watching and more people getting hooked.  Everyone wants to know who this bad boy is, who this jerk ass is, who this guy is that made fun of his beaten down opponent.  The people that hate Brock Lesnar will now tune in just to see if he loses.  I even heard people call him the fat-ass of the UFC, the wanna be champion and even the lucky champion.  How the hell do you get that out of a guy who is built like a tank and has always been a champion in every thing he did?!?  Brock Lesnar did exactly what he should have done, beat his opponent down, talk trash as he tried to get up and let the Las Vegas crowd know how he felt about them cheering on Frank Mir.  He is a fighter folks, not a freaking suit running for President.  His job is to beat the crap out of whoever steps in against him and be proud of it.  He is the champion, the UFC Heavyweight Champion…enough said.

When the fight was done, Brock decided to let everyone know what was running through his mind.  “I’m going to go home tonight and drink a Coors Light because Bud Light won’t pay me,” said Lesnar, pointing at the logo of the presenting sponsor of the event. “I’m going to sit down with my friends and family and hell, I might even get on top of my wife tonight.”  I personally think that is awesome!  If Bud Light decided to not pay him, then screw them.  If he wants to go go home with the boys, the family and knock his wife out in bed…good for him and damn good for her!

One other comment that drove Frank Mir fans crazy was, “Frank Mir had a horseshoe up his ass and I told him that a year ago,” said Lesnar, who refused to touch gloves or shake hands with Mir before or after the fight. “I pulled that [expletive] down and I beat him up. Whooo!”.  WHOOO is right baby!  This is not a gentlemen’s game people, this is war, this is the real Gladiator sport.  The only thing we are missing is Caesar and the Colosseum.

Remember, for every good guy there is always a bad guy.  We need bad guys, we need hated opponents to boo, we need Brock Lesnar in the UFC.

God Bless Dana White for the UFC!

Yes I said ignorant white people suck and I meant it.  I am white and I am not afraid to admit this.  I am not against any race, creed or color and feel everyone deserves their fair shot at everything in life.  If you are gay and want a job, you deserve it as long as you earn it and so on.  We could go through every example but you get my point.  I am writing this rant for many reasons but one recent story in particular.  Montco Swim Club Sucks  So this swim club in Philly took money from a group called Creative Steps, Inc so that 65 children between the ages of 5 and 12 could join Valley Club.  They showed up, started swimming and started to hear the questions, “Why is there browns and blacks in our pool?”.  WHY?!?  Because they paid to be there just like you, you f***ing ignorant dumb s**t!  Here is an exact quote, “What are all of these black kids doing here?”.  What in the f**k are you doing asking that question and who gave you the right to ask it?!?  Here we are, 2009 and we still have ignorant morons running around shooting their mouths off.  By the end of the day for these kids and parents, this so called Valley Club gave the group their check back ($1,950 to be exact).  With this refund given to the group, that means these kids no longer have access to the club or pool.  With the explanation as to why the refund was given, space issues not race, the Valley Club of White F***ing Morons has started quite the racial storm in Philly.  I mean come on, what are you afraid of?  You afraid they might actually have fun and get along with the white kids?!?  You afraid your precious little white daughter might take a liking to a black boy?  I actually read this story and thought to myself, why?

Everyone knows the story of Tiger Woods.  If you do not know his story, maybe you should read about it.  When he joined the PGA, there was still golf courses he was not allowed to play at because they had specific rules about anybody that was not white and of white origin.  Since he came along, these courses have decided to open their minds and get with today’s society and allow other races to join and play their courses.  Yes, there is still some dumb-ass white golf courses in this World but for the most part it has not affected the average everyday man or woman.  I know we still have racial tensions and problems in this World but to actually tell a group of black and Hispanic kids get lost, white kids only…that is just sad and wrong.

Back tot he swim club, if space was the issue you are using then why in the hell did you take their money in the first place???  To me that sounds like a very sad excuse and a very quick reaction answer.  Step up and tell us the truth.  Admit you are a racist group and let the race war begin.  I am not saying we start an all out war against racism, but something has to be done about crap like this.  I especially do not think we need to hear from Jesse Jackson about this issue but I am sure he will at some point.  No offense Jackson, but you are a cause to some of our racism in the World.

Can’t we all just get along?  ;-)  I am proud of my stance on race and if you cannot say that then maybe it is time for you to change as well.

Montco swim club accused of racial discrimination

By Zoe Tillman and Max Stendahl

Inquirer Staff Writers

Days before a Northeast Philadelphia day camp’s membership at a private suburban swim club was rescinded, several of the campers said they had heard racial remarks about themselves at the pool.

Parents and staff members of Creative Steps Inc. day camp are considering legal action against the Valley Club in Huntingdon Valley, said Alethea Wright, the camp’s executive director.

Sixty-five campers, kindergartners through seventh graders who are African American and Hispanic, arrived at the private swim club around 3:30 p.m. on June 29. It was their first visit to the club, but the camp had made arrangements for weekly trips on Mondays through Aug. 10.

While the campers were swimming, Wright said, three of them came up to her and said they had heard club members asking what African Americans were doing at the club.

Although the children were upset, Wright said, they stayed at the pool for an hour more to complete their session. She said that she approached club president John Duesler while events unfolded that day and that he seemed apologetic.

On July 3, Wright said, the camp’s $1,950 check in membership fees to the swim club was refunded, meaning the children no longer had access to the pool. She said Duesler gave no reason for the refund except that the membership no longer wanted the children at the pool.

Repeated attempts to reach Duesler, other club officers, and the club’s management yesterday were unsuccessful. NBC10, which first reported the story, said yesterday that Duesler had given the station the following statement: “There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion . . . and the atmosphere of the club.”

The club is not affiliated with the Huntington Valley Country Club, which today inadvertantly found itself a target of public rage.

“We’ve been getting a lot of nasty calls,” country club receptionist Karen Ojeda said.

Wright said she heard no racially charged comments when the campers were at the club but did hear a club member express displeasure that the children were at the pool. She said many parents made their children leave the pool after the campers arrived.

“There were no behavioral problems” with the campers, who were accompanied by eight Creative Steps staff members, Wright said. “They never gave a reason.”

Club member Bernadette Sinnott, 44, said that although she was not at the pool on June 29, she had heard the club took back the campers’ membership because of space issues, not race.

“I think they thought it was too crowded,” she said.

Sinnott was at the club yesterday with her son Brandon, 14, who said he was biracial and had never encountered racism at the pool.

The camp first contacted the club about membership after the New Frankford Community Y in the Frankford section of the city - where the children used to swim - closed last month because of lack of money. The club is about a 20-minute drive from the camp’s location at Devereaux and Summerdale Avenues in Northeast Philadelphia.

The campers swim at an indoor pool on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Jewish Community Center in Philadelphia, but Wright said the camp wanted to get them to an outdoor facility as well. She said Girard College had offered its pool to the campers for the rest of the summer.

City Councilwoman Maria Quiñones-Sánchez, who represents the camp’s Northeast Philadelphia district, said the allegations were upsetting but not surprising.

“It is outrageous and unfortunately part of what we still confront day in and day out because of folks’ lack of understanding,” she said. “Once you cross the county line, it’s a whole different world.”

Several parents and the camp are looking into possible legal action against the club, said Staci Morgan, a Creative Steps board member and Philadelphia social worker.

Their options depend on whether the state Human Relations Commission has jurisdiction over the club’s operations, said Michael Hardiman, a lawyer with the commission. Organizations that are “distinctly private” do not fall under that jurisdiction.

Hardiman would not say whether the Valley Swim Club met the commission’s criteria for investigation.

The club includes more than 10 acres of land and a 110,000-gallon pool, according to its Web site, and is a private nonprofit organization chartered in 1954. A single membership is $395 per year.

So the owners have come forward and decided to plead their case on live TV to say this is not about race but rather safety.  Um, sorry you white devil bitch but I am not buying this made for TV apology and as far as your hubby is concerned, maybe a nice white hood would have suited him better for the interview.  I am sorry but they told you how many kids were coming but you still say it is about the fact you had no idea that many kids were coming.  *cough* BULLS**T! *cough*
