Oh No! It’s The KennedyPelosiDean Monster! Head for the hills!
I’d never thought I’d root for Stephen Colbert.
Keep Trying Steve, you’ll be funny some day, little buckeroo.
(Give me a break, okay, I’m sick and exhausted…Regularly scheduled rants will resume shortly.)

“NEW YORK — Three years after the city banned smoking in restaurants, health officials are talking about prohibiting something they say is almost as bad: artificial trans fatty acids.
The city health department unveiled a proposal Tuesday that would bar cooks at any of the city’s 24,600 food service establishments from using ingredients that contain the artery-clogging substance, commonly listed on food labels as partially hydrogenated oil.”
I think I’m going to stab myself in the eye. It’s not that I’m a masochist; it’s just that I need to do something to distract me from the pain that liberals cause me. The little tiny bit of functioning grey matter that was left in New York City is obviously just a few days from completely “stroking out”. Any thoughts I ever had of living in that city (almost none) have been completely washed away in a delicious tidal wave of Cheez Whiz.

It would seem that Starbucks is a bit bored with the status quo, as they are planning to raise the cost of their beverage products by five cents.
“The price increase will see little if any resistance by the consumer,” said JMP Securities analyst Kristine Koerber, who said traffic at the chain held steady two years ago after a more dramatic price increase. “It’s gotten to be part of our daily routine.”
Strange how we selectively get angry, isn’t it? Where are the congressional investigations? This is undoubtedly price fixing! The Bush Administration is obviously in cahoots with Starbucks, and they are totally reaping whirlwind profits form the Birkenstock wearing, latte chugging., WiFi crowd.
…Right?
Nah.

I’m sitting here with that old saying “Talking ‘til you’re blue in the face” rolling through my head. I don’t know whether to be disgusted, or just laugh hysterically. Every time I think the current political opposition has gone as far as they can go, the push it just a little bit further. It’s getting to be redundant, talking about how crazy these people are, and they are slowly but surely digging their own grave just a little bit deeper with every passing day.
What am I talking about today? I’m talking about the new “9/11 memorial” that was just unveiled in Arizona. I don’t know if any of you have seen photos of this thing yet, but it’s pretty repulsive. Instead of it being a fitting tribute to those who died unawares on that horrific day, it is etched with anti-American sentiment. Literally. It would appear that some of today’s uber-left wing blogger whackjobs got their ganja stained hands on a laser-engraver and just went to town. The monument is engraved with such gems as:
- “You don’t win battles of terrorism with more battles.”
- “Must bomb back”
- “Feeling of invincibility lost”
- “Fear of foreigners”
- “Foreign born Americans afraid
- “Scottsdale students form Cultural Understanding Organization”
- “Balbir Singh Sodih, A Sikh murdered in Mesa”
- “Erroneous US airstrike kills 46 Uruzgan civilians”

As many of you may or may not know, I haven’t held what one would call a “steady job” in quite some time. It’s not that I don’t want to work, it’s just that my disability seems to be a big detriment to me finding decent employment. Many employers, who seem to have this amazing predisposition to being bigoted toward my because of my disability, always seem to be looking for reasons not to hire me. I’m not complaining, but sometimes it does get irritating.
The last one turned me down because I couldn’t make Cat5 cable offhand.
Alrighty then! You know why I don’t bother making Cat5 cable? There’s no point. I can go about and buy it and plug it in. Imagine that. Damn me and my practicality. How dare I not do things the hard way. I’m such a killjoy!
So, I’m sure some of you may be asking yourselves, “How does Art make money? Is he a male prostitute, or some such repulsive thing?”
Well, not in the manner that you may be thinking. I *do* sell myself to the highest bidder, which honestly, often amounts to *any* bidder, really. But, hey, I get to keep my pants on.

“Christian churches in the Middle East are vandalized, a Catholic nun in Africa is killed and Muslims have demanded that the pope convert to Islam – all because he read a quote from a medieval text that described Islam as ‘evil and inhuman.’
The pope has issued an apology for even referencing the historic text, emphasized that those views are not his, but still many in the Islamic world are demanding blood.
A new group called “The sword of Islam” contacted reporters and said it had fired gunshots at a Christian church in the Middle East during a demonstration over the comments. ‘If this person were really someone reasonable, he would not agree to remain at his post one minute but would convert to Islam immediately,” the son, Mohammad Qaddafi, said.‘”
Uh Huh. Smart.
