___________________ON and IN MY MIND_____________

FROM WALTER WILLIAMS:

SOME REASONS WHY I CAN'T STAND WHITE LIBERALS!!

Dr. Condoleezza Rice, President Bush's national security adviser and now his secretary of state nominee, has been the subject of nasty, demeaning and disrespectful cartoons and commentary. Some of the worst has come from people like Julian Bond, chairman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who said on TV's "America's Black Forum" that he agreed with "The Boondocks" cartoonist Aaron McGruder's characterization of Dr. Rice as "a murderer." A lead article in Black Commentator said, "Condoleezza Rice is the purest expression of the race traitor. No polite description is possible." Those kinds of attacks by blacks have emboldened guilt-ridden white liberals to join in as seen by the recent cartoons of Pat Oliphant and Garry Trudeau ("Doonesbury"):.

Black people have become Democrats first and whatever else afterward. The Democratic leadership, along with its leftist allies in Hollywood, on college campuses, in labor unions, in the education establishment and in the media, detests President Bush. Too many black people are dependent on the Democrats for handouts and racial preferences. Black politicians depend on the Bush haters for financial resources enabling them to gain office. Black civil rights organizations are beholden to liberal foundations. The bottom line of all of this is that he who pays the piper calls the tune and black people dance along.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There is one thing black liberals and conservatives have in common is that we can all be subject to be called a sell out. For black conservatives it can often be more severe, however there is a also a danger to a Black liberal. I have noticed liberal minorities who are still held subject to the same criticisms as conservatives, which is the idea that one can sell out or be an uncle tom. To point to some of the great people of color on your website like the Egyptians, Kushites, and timbuktu. Did god not make Solomon the wisest and richest man in the world. Isn't possible that the white man is trying to be black.

Yet, no matter your political ideology a person of color faces the possibility of being called sell out. For example, Bryant Gumble a black liberal yet because of his proper speaking can receive similar criticism. Liberal Bill Cosby's recent criticism of African Americans and the liberal leaders. Yet, even as Cosby is a liberal he faces a danger in criticizing the establishment.

Condescension from some white liberals who are so surprised how well spoken Jesse Jackson's children were. Of course they would be well spoken if you went to the finest prep school in Washington D.C. Some white liberals in Hollywood also make it hard for a diversity black movies to be made. White liberals continue to produce and fund the same kind of blaxploitation seen for years. Spike Lee has commented on how he barely had enough money produce his Malcolm X film.

Affirmative Action is given too much success for the success of blacks. There is no Affirmative Action for graduating from college or passing courses. The rise of the black middle class began before Affirmative Action. W.EB. DuBois gained A P.H.D. from Harvard way before there was any Affirmative Action. Blacks before Affirmative Action and after Affirmative Action from having an Affirmative Attitude.

There is also seemed to be limit to the power of a black liberal. I wonder how willing Bill Clinton was in returning Jesse Jackson's phone calls. I would also like to remind you of the Clinton's Sister Souljah comment.

My point is that the rise of the new Black conservatives should be viewed as a good thing for adding diversity in the community and to be critical of the mistakes of the liberal establishment. Black Liberals and conservatives should unite together in the goal of uplifting the black community. Because Black liberals and conservatives face similar obstacles.

Whining While Black

Thank goodness Confederate History Month is over! Maybe Civil Rights organizations, black politicians and journalists will stop whining for awhile. They must pay the Sons of Confederate Veterans on the side. Fat, middle-aged suburbanites waving Confederate flags create excuses for hysterical screaming. Ironically, the volume and shrillness of attacking Confederate heritage is inversely proportional to the actual racism and threat to personal safety. But, it's profitable if you're a race pimp. When your skin color is your day job, you need something to cry 'wolf' about.

The professionally-black Blacks, whose jobs are based on 'African-American' in their titles, are working a decades-old scam that is a shame to the Nation. The racial politics of these Judas goats keep millions of Blacks in poverty, jail, pain and suffering. Despite them, the majority of Blacks are only one generation from earning their piece of the American pie.

A significant minority of Blacks are succeeding equally and above other Americans. These are hard-working people who achieve color-blind success. Which is precisely the point: The way up has nothing to do with race. The way to succeed in America works for immigrants who don't speak English, aren't White, and don't have a penny to their name when they arrive. But, it takes a generation. The parents sacrifice and provide for the children to have abundant opportunities. There are '7 Steps' from whining to winning.

1. Get married before the baby arrives.
2. Stay married and raise your children.
3. Don't use drugs or abuse alcohol.
4. Push educational achievement without excuses.
5. Master the English language.
6. Choose American, not a separate identity, like African-America.
7. Live a purpose-driven life from the Bible.

Whites who fail these seven steps will grow mullets, trash their lives and stay losers. Hispanics who fail have activists to make excuses and demand programs meaning government jobs for the program workers to spend tax dollars. Blacks who fail have a well-established special interest industry to serve themselves at poor Blacks' expense. Coming out of ghetto poverty for the race industry would be like real tax reform to tax lawyers. Jesse Jackson would have to get a real job.

The seven steps to a better life in America don't have the land mines in the path that Blacks leaped over in the past. When Booker T. Washington and his students built Tuskegee with their bare hands, they made the brick kiln five times before it worked properly. They didn't whine. Blacks came up from slavery further and faster, with a dignity and class under real duress, that is unfathomable to the 'hip hop gangsta's' culture. Blacks, still living today, overcame barriers that no Black child faces now. Yet, the rhetoric of race is elevated and pervasive. The underlying messages are perverse and destructive.

Racial integration is a morally superior and ascendant idea for America. Yet, racial quotas by any disingenuous name, race-based programs, awards and organizations are anathema to integration. They promote Black, Hispanic, Asian, Indian, whatever racism. That is why good-hearted people would go nuts if any quota, program, award or organization had the qualifying adjective 'White' in its name. Look at the outrage on college campuses when Conservative students have a race-based cookie sale. The hypocrisy would be funny if the potential outcomes weren't so sinister.

White racism is vanishing, especially in the South. (Send a memo to Liberals). Southern dynamism is increasingly Evangelical Christian over a regional identity-based nationalism. Human hearts were transformed to a higher standard than racial reconciliation to loving-kindness. Meanwhile, the same Democrat Party that exploited race mongering with Whites plays race-based politics using Blacks and reaches for other minorities. The hateful refrain of permanent victim hood and grievance creates problems. Black racism and Black-on-White hate crimes are increasing.

There is no excuse for defeat and decline among people whose ancestors and peers have accomplished so much since 1619 every step of the American Experience.

New immigrants joining the Great Experiment give their children 'American' first names. The exceptions are Muslims who don't intend to integrate and some Hispanics whose numbers are so great they don't have to leave an insular sub-culture. Blacks who invent alien names keep it 'real' with the neighbors, but make it obvious they are separate. Separateness doesn't produce victory in life.

Search any field of endeavor for greatness and see Black Americans. Like politics: Who is more articulate than Thomas Sowell, Alan Keyes, Walter Williams, Ward Connerly, J.C. Watts, Colin Powell and Condileeza Rice? Are they whining while Black?

I am going to forego the hobbies section of this profile. Instead I will post on occasion "stuff that I like" section.
Since one of my hobbies is "terrorizing" liberals anyway, these reposts will surely piss of the average card carrying liberal.
Since this is not a blog I don't care what you think. Peace.

RELIGIOUS IGNORANCE GUIDES THE LEFT

It seems that the left, namely Bill Moyers, the on-line environmental journal Grist, and a host of other liberal organizations are saying that the Christian right wants and even encourages environmental disasters because, as signs of the return of Jesus Christ, these will hasten the second coming.

No really:stop laughing:that's what the these left-leaning wack-jobs really think, or at least that's what they think they can use to scare supporters into writing checks.

The funny thing about all this is, it's completely contrary to what the bible teaches. From Genesis, Numbers, Collossians and all throughout the bible, God's direction to his followers is clear. The earth is God's creation and it is perfect. God appointed man as his steward of the earth and we will be held accountable for any harm we cause the earth and the creatures on it. The bible says that a sparrow does not fall to the ground without God knowing about it.

Again, the left and elitist speak with disregard for the facts and hopes to use fear to intimidate those they want to govern.

*************************************************

It's always amazing how modern liberals, chilled or at room temp, offer only insults when confronted with todays serious issues. Where are the alternative ideas?

SOCIAL SECURITY: Everybody agrees that social security needs to be fixed. Right? George Bush has jumped on this third rail of American politics where nobody else dared tread before. His suggestion of "considering" the idea of partial privatization is just that, an idea. It needs debate and further study. What is the liberal response. GEORGE BUSH WANTS TO DESTROY SOCIAL SECURITY. HIDE YOUR BABIES! HE HATES PUPPIES TOO! Nancy Pelosi has become a caricature of modern liberals. They have no ideas. The only idea liberals offer to save social security is to raise taxes and put more money into it. God knows it's worked famously for education:.wait:.I mean:well uh:Well it might work! Taxation and government dependency are the only things that keep liberals and the modern Democratic party in power. Dance with the one that brung you! (That's a Texas saying.)

IRAQ: The secret is out. Rummy and Bush want our soldiers to get killed, that's why they purposely withheld armor plating from the humvee's and personel carriers. THOSE BASTARDS! It was probably all Dick Cheny's idea. He was driven to madness by his lesbian daughter andthe millions of dollars being funneled into his pocket by Haliburton. DOES THAT SOUND ABOUT RIGHT! Well to hear the liberal tripe in the mainstream media and the blogosphere, that is the secret plan.

The fact is the United States military has made incredible accomplishments in just a few short years. The plan to take the fight to the terrorists, set in motion after 911, is working famously. It is war, so there will be mistakes, setbacks, miscalculations and errors. That is the nature of war. If the U.S. and the rest of the world were perfect in every respect, THERE WOULD BE NO WAR! The spineless Euro-Cowards, Tony Blair excluded, chose to sit this one out because they lacked the moral courage and will to do what was right. They chose the status quo over doing the right thing. Besides, why upset the oil-for-food cash flow?

IRAN: Would you morons who constantly harp about America supporting puppet regiems please shut up! America is in this world, just like every other nation and we have to make choices. To suggest that America has the ability to determine who would and would not lead a nation is assinine. We can only lend our support to those we think would serve our bests interest. AND WHAT ELSE SHOULD WE DO! America backed the Shah of Iran, to avoid a mullah-cratic takeover of Iran. We failed. The Shah was no saint, but history has proven that he was the better alternative, punctuated by millions of Iranian tortures and deaths at the hands of so-called religious leaders.

THE NEXT FOUR YEARS: If you thought Bush's first four years were interesting:. The entire world, our friends and enemies alike, were holding their breath, waiting to see if Bush would be re-elected. Now that he is back in office the war on terror will accelerate. Our enemies are becoming more and more desperate. We are winning. They are scared.

The Democrats had better wake up our they will join the trash heap of history along with the Whigs, the Bathists and the Communist Party. Government control is not the answer. Moral relativism is not the answer. Yes there are shades of gray, BUT THERE IS ALSO BLACK AND WHITE!

Speaking of black and white, the Democrats have lied to minorities for to long. There is an awakening happening among blacks and hispanics. As those communities become more educated and prosperous with each subsequent generation, the realization that they have been, to quote Malcom X, "hoodwinked and bamboozeled" is starting to emerge. They are starting to realize that the Democratic party is run by rich white people, and by black leaders who earned their bones by paying homage to those rich white liberals.

It's starting to sink in with the hispanic community as well. The growing hispanic minority population is a threat to the black political power base and presents conundrum for the Democratic party. The hispanic community was not raised on the lie of welfare. Most came to this country to escape poverty and to work, and hispanics born in this country were born into a different community mind set. How do you preach welfare and government dependence to people who were instilled with a "work and you will prosper" ethic?

Yes, the next four years will be very interesting, but if liberals don't start coming up with some new ideas:.the future doesn't look very good.

PROPS TO THE TOP SPORTS CITIES

Pittsburgh
The lowdown: Despite the disadvantage of having never been home to an NBA team, the Steel City is up there with the big boys when it comes to championships won. In fact, the city's rate of titles per team is higher than that of both Los Angeles and Chicago. Pittsburgh's heyday came in the '70s, as the Steelers took four Super Bowls and the Pirates two World Series, but things have tailed off more than a bit since then. The city's last title came from the now-miserable Penguins more than a decade ago, and it doesn't look like any championships are forthcoming anytime soon for The 'Burgh.

Enduring championship moments: Bill Mazeroski belted a game-winning homer in the bottom of the ninth inning in Game 7 of the 1960 World Series. The Steelers became the first team to win three Super Bowls, as Terry Bradshaw passed for a record four touchdowns in the 1979 game.

Lord of the rings: Bradshaw, fellow Hall of Famers Joe Greene and Franco Harris, and a number of other Steelers each have four Super Bowl titles to their credit.

Standout star: "The Magnificent One," Mario Lemieux, was a three-time NHL MVP who led the league in scoring six times while carrying the Penguins to back-to-back Stanley Cups.

Most influential coach: Chuck Noll, the Steelers' head coach between 1969 and 1991, led the team to all four of its Super Bowl victories.

Number 9

Philadelphia - 12 championship titles
The lowdown: While Philly's teams have won 12 titles, seven of them belong to squads that no longer play in the city. Since then, fans have been forced to make do with the winless Eagles, a single win by the Phillies, and two each by the Flyers and 76ers. Making things even worse for the City of Brotherly Love is the fact that no team has brought home a title since 1983.

Enduring championship moments: The "Broad Street Bullies" won their second straight Stanley Cup in 1975. Moses Malone and Julius Erving led the 76ers to a 12-1 playoff record on the way to winning the 1983 NBA title.

Lord of the rings: Hall of Famers Frank Baker and Eddie Collins were among those who won three World Series with the Athletics in the early years of the 20th century.

Standout star: Mike Schmidt, a three-time MVP and 10-time Gold Glove winner, led the Phillies to their only World Series victory in 1980.

Most influential coach: Connie Mack managed the Athletics for 50 years, winning five World Series during that time.

Number 8

San Francisco Bay Area - 12 championship titles
The lowdown: The 49ers have five Super Bowl titles; their cross-town rivals, the Oakland Raiders, have only two. Oakland extracts some revenge on the diamond, having won four World Series crowns -- four more than the Giants have. The area's other teams, the Golden State Warriors and San Jose Sharks, haven't had much success, although the Warriors did win an NBA title in '70s.

Enduring championship moments: The 1989 Bay Area World Series between the Giants and Athletics was postponed because of an earthquake before the A's ultimately won it. The 49ers won the 1985 Super Bowl in front of a home crowd in Palo Alto.

Lord of the rings: Joe Montana, Jerry Rice and John Taylor each have four Super Bowl rings.

Standout star: Montana won three Super Bowl MVP awards and was a seven-time Pro Bowler during his time with San Francisco.

Most influential coach: Dick Williams only managed the A's for three years, but in that time they won three division titles and two World Series.

Number 7

Chicago - 14 championship titles
The lowdown: Every Chicago team has won a title, although the Bulls are the only team to have triumphed since the start of the '90s. In fact, were it not for the Bulls, Chicago sports fans could be considered the longest-suffering in North America: the Bears have won just a single Super Bowl, the Blackhawks have won just one Cup since 1938, the White Sox are winless since 1917, and the Cubs' futility streak dates all the way back to 1908.

Enduring championship moments: Michael Jordan hit a jumper over Bryon Russell in Game 6 of the 1998 Finals to give the Bulls their sixth championship. The "Super Bowl Shuffle" Bears demolished New England 46-10 in the 1986 championship game.

Lord of the rings: Jordan and sidekick Scottie Pippen each won six NBA championship rings with Chicago.

Standout star: It couldn't be anyone but Jordan, the five-time NBA MVP and six-time Finals MVP.

Most influential coach: The Zen Master, Phil Jackson, was behind the bench for all of the Bulls' titles.

Number 6

Toronto - 15 championship titles
The lowdown: While much is made of the fact that the Maple Leafs haven't won a Stanley Cup since 1967, they were remarkably prolific until this time, winning three consecutive championships between 1962 and 1964. Given the recent inability of the Leafs, Blue Jays or Raptors to achieve success, it may be quite a few years until the city of Toronto is back in championship form.

Enduring championship moments: Bobby Baun returned to the ice with a broken foot and scored the winner in overtime in Game 6 of the 1964 Stanley Cup Finals, forcing a Game 7 that the Leafs would win. Joe Carter hammered a three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth of Game 6 against the Phillies, giving the Jays their second straight World Series victory.

Lord of the rings: Goalie Turk Broda backstopped the Leafs to five NHL championships in the '40s and '50s, while Ted "Teeder" Kennedy played on five Cup winners in the '50s and '60s.

Standout star: Frank Mahovlich was named a first or second-team NHL All-Star seven times during his Leafs career, while helping Toronto collect four Stanley Cups.

Most influential coach: "Punch" Imlach led the Leafs to their last four Stanley Cups while acting as coach and GM in the '60s.

Number 5

Los Angeles - 16 championship titles
The lowdown: The City of Angels seems to be the land of big winners and big losers. While the Dodgers have won five World Series and the Lakers have taken nine NBA titles, the Rams were winless until moving to St. Louis, and the Kings, Clippers and Anaheim Mighty Ducks are all still looking for their first championship.

Enduring championship moments: An injured Kirk Gibson's pinch-hit home run in the ninth inning of Game 1 of the 1988 World Series sent the Dodgers on their way to a finals victory. Led by 38-year-old series MVP Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Lakers finally beat the Celtics in the 1985 NBA Finals, their first victory over Boston in nine finals meetings.

Lord of the rings: Abdul-Jabbar and Earvin "Magic" Johnson each won five championships with the Lakers in the '80s.

Standout star: Magic, a 6'9" point guard who even filled in at center when Abdul-Jabbar was hurt, was a three-time NBA MVP, three-time finals MVP and 12-time All-Star.

Most influential coach: Manager Walter Alston accompanied the Dodgers when they moved from Brooklyn to L.A. in 1958, and immediately led his team to the first of three World Series in seven years.

Number 4

Detroit - 17 championship titles
The lowdown: Three of Detroit's four major teams have won titles; only the NFL's Lions have failed to do so. While the Tigers haven't made the playoffs since 1987 and remain stuck at four World Series wins, the city's NHL and NBA franchises have each added three titles since then.

Enduring championship moments: In 1997, long-time captain Steve Yzerman led the Wings to their first NHL title in 42 years. Jack Morris hurled two complete-game victories as the Tigers pounded the Padres in the 1984 World Series.

Lord of the rings: "Mr. Hockey," Gordie Howe, won four Stanley Cups with the Red Wings between 1950 and 1955.

Standout star: Howe also played in 23 All-Star games and retired with more points than anyone in NHL history.

Most influential coach: Chuck Daly instilled the "Bad Boys" attitude in the Isiah Thomas-led Pistons, and was rewarded with back-to-back NBA titles in 1989 and 1990.

Number 3

Montreal - 25 championship titles
The lowdown: The Expos haven't gone to the World Series in their lifetime (more than 35 years), but the Canadiens have more than made up for this deficit, placing second only to the Yankees for most championship wins by a single team. Their predecessors, the now-defunct Maroons, even added a couple of wins to the city's total in the early days of the NHL.

Enduring championship moments: In Jean Beliveau's final game, the Canadiens pulled out a Game 7 victory over the Blackhawks to win the 1971 Stanley Cup. Rookie goalie Patrick Roy became the youngest-ever playoff MVP in 1986, as he helped return the Cup to Montreal for the first time since 1979.

Lord of the rings: Henri Richard, known as the "Pocket Rocket," had more Stanley Cup rings than he did fingers after winning 11 with the Canadiens over a 20-year career.

Standout star: Maurice "Rocket" Richard, the first NHL player to score 50 goals in a season and 500 in a career, helped the Canadiens capture eight Stanley Cups.

Most influential coach: Hector "Toe" Blake was the bench boss for eight of the Canadiens' Cup victories, including five straight between 1956 and 1960.

Number 2

Boston - 29 championship titles
The lowdown: Every current and former Boston team has won at least one title, a claim few other cities can make. Although the Red Sox and Bruins have suffered droughts in recent years, the Celtics and Patriots have stepped up to ensure that Beantown consistently achieves at least one championship per decade -- a feat they have only fallen short of twice and an impressive one for any city with only four current squads.

Enduring championship moments: Game-winning field goals by Adam Vinatieri made the Pats Super Bowl champs in 2002 and 2004. During the 1966 NBA finals, coach Red Auerbach announced that Bill Russell would assume his position the next year, inspiring the Celts to win their NBA-record eighth straight championship.

Lord of the rings: Bill Russell, who won it all in 11 of his 13 years as part of the Celtic dynasty.

Standout star: Bobby Orr, the first blueliner to ever score over 100 points in a season, won three Hart Trophies as the NHL's MVP and eight Norris Trophies as the best defenseman while leading the Bruins to two Stanley Cups.

Most influential coach: Red Auerbach -- known for lighting up a cigar courtside when he was confident of a Boston victory -- won nine NBA titles while coaching the Celtics.

Number 1

New York - 50 championship titles
The lowdown: Although New York City's contingent of teams is larger than any other, quantity isn't the only reason accounting for New York's position on the top of this list. After all, it makes no difference how many teams you have if none of them win. Gotham's franchises have been remarkably successful: 10 of its 11 teams have won titles (only the New Jersey Nets have failed to). New York's teams have been so proficient that even if I didn't count the Yankees' 26 titles, the Big Apple would still place in the Top 3.

Enduring championship moments: After the Rangers lost Games 5 and 6 to the Vancouver Canucks in the 1994 NHL Finals, Mark Messier scored the game-winning goal in Game 7 to bring the Stanley Cup back to Madison Square Garden for the first time in 54 years. The "Miracle Mets," who finished in last place in the National League in 1967 and second-last in 1968, went on to win 100 regular-season games and the World Series in 1969.

Lord of the rings: Yogi Berra has more titles to his credit than any other New York athlete -- 10 World Series wins, five of them occurring consecutively.

Standout star: Despite missing three years due to service in World War II, "Joltin' Joe" DiMaggio led the Yankees to nine World Championships, and was named an All-Star in each of his 13 seasons.

Most influential coach: Al Arbour stood behind the bench for each of the Islanders' (NHL) record-tying four straight Stanley Cup victories.

BUT CONSIDER THIS:

Perhaps the most impressive metropolitan area is the twosome of San Francisco and Oakland. Despite going without a pro team until the Giants moved west in 1958, the cities by the Bay made up ground quickly, winning more titles since that time than Detroit, Chicago and Toronto, cities ranked above them on the list overall.

Building it means takin' more money out of my pocket. It would only help non-Lawrence residents anyway.

Oh thinking of other traffic issues some of you dumbasses need to learn how to use roundabouts. I don't care if you are for or against them but you better learn how to use them or else you non driving morons need to turn in your keys.

IF YOU STILL SMOKE THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM!!!

DOING SOMETHING THAT WELL KNOW FOR SURE KILLS YOU!

**************************************************

STUFF THAT I HATE.......

***************Segregated TV********************
Did you ever notice that TV shows tend to either have no black people in them at all (eg- "Friends", "Cheers") or they are composed entirely of black people (eg- "The Cosby Show", everything on UPN)? And did you notice that you almost never see black/white mixed couples on TV?
What racist asshole decided that TV shows should be actively promoting segregation? This seems to be the new version of racial equality: "separate but equal". Black people are upset because they're under-represented on shows like "Seinfeld"? No problem- just create a black version of Seinfeld! Let's get something straight, people. In case you didn't figure it out 30 years ago, "separate but equal" is not equal.

*************Musical Cell-phone Ringers**********
I can almost tolerate the constant ringing of cell-phones that I hear whenever I go into a shopping mall. I can almost tolerate the morons who talk on their cell-phones at restaurants, as long as they keep their voices down. I don't need to complain about the motherfuckers who drive like drunkards while talking on their cell-phones, because everyone else complains about that already. I have a cell-phone myself (which I keep switched off most of the time), so it's not as if I'm intolerant of cell-phones in general. But I cannot tolerate the idiots whose cell-phones play a little musical song every time somebody calls them.
It's bad enough that a meal or worse yet, a movie is disrupted by some goddamned cell-phone chirping in the pocket of the fashionable little ass-wipe at the next table. But when that fucking piece of shit phone has to sing some imbecilic little song instead of simply ringing, that's the last straw. Time to buy an air horn and start using it.

**************Rally-car wannabes****************
Aw, come on, admit it. You've seen 'em. You've snickered at 'em. Teenaged boys wearing baseball caps, wraparound shades, and maybe even racing gloves, proudly gunning the silly little 90 horsepower 4-cylinder lawnmower engines of their Honda Civics or 3-cylinder Suzukis. Typically, they'll take off from the stop light with a cacophony of noise, but they'll barely outrace the minivan in the next lane.
They have some of Daddy's money and they want to look cool but they can't afford a real sports car, so what do they do? They grab a little economy car, and they dress it up! Does it have gimpy wheels? No problem- run out and buy shiny alloy wheels, complete with such incredibly low profile tires that you almost can't see any rubber at all!
Does the body look plain? No problem- run out and buy ground-effects kits, and warp all of that useless shit around the bottom of your quarter panels and doors! Then, buy a spoiler for the trunk lid, and bolt it on as if you really need the extra downforce at 80 km/h (on the rear wheels of a front wheel drive car). You might even want to cut channels in your hood, for that authentic Ram Air look.
But for the coup de grace, they must commit the final atrocity. Yes, we all know what it is. It's the big fat exhaust pipe! They replace the exhaust system with a "high flow" system, so their little 90 horsepower engine will sound just like the throaty roar of a Dodge Viper's V-10! Of course, that's what they think. In reality, it just sounds like a lawnmower with a bad muffler, which is precisely what it is. In fact, it actually robs the engine of horsepower, because the engine's cylinder heads, intake manifold, valve timing, and fuel injection system were all designed for a certain amount of exhaust system back pressure (not that these dipshits would understand this).
If you drive one of these ridiculous little rally-car wannabes, take it from me: the ersatz rally-car look doesn't fool anyone. You don't look like Mario Andretti; you just look like a idiot with a serious psychological inadequacy problem.

***************Extreme sports*****************
Someone, somewhere along the line got the idea that sports is not about running a quicker mile, or throwing a javelin farther than the next guy, or even team competition. Today, according to the "extreme sports" crowd, sports is about risking your life in incredibly stupid ways, and then bragging about all the places in your body where you need steel pins to hold your bones together.
They say that one only feels truly alive after having a close brush with death, either by nearly plummeting to your death during freestyle mountain climbing or by nearly pancaking in any of a number of other bizarre activities (such as the jack-asses who try to skateboard off their parents' houses roof). All I can say is: if you think you need to risk death in order to appreciate your life, then your life must really suck.

********Butchered National Anthems**********
What is it about celebrities and national anthems? At major sporting events, they always get a celebrity to sing the national anthem. And every celebrity has to "customize" it, with unnecessary vocal flourishes and extra notes. Every note in the original anthem turns into a fucking arpeggio in the customized version.
Hey celebrity singers, listen up: The anthem is not about YOU, asshole.

Embrace the Dandelion
By Liz Weslander

Tuesday, March 29, 2005

I must say that I was very pleased this morning to read that the city of Lawrence is considering making all of its parks pesticide free. Why, without reciting some manufactured notion of what accounts for an aesthetically pleasing green space, would anyone not support this?

Posted by liz (Liz Weslander) on March 30, 2005 at 5:09 p.m.

well said Misty.

Todd, I think that talking about what you don't do is a simple way of illustrating your priorities.

However, in regards to this subject, here are some things I do. I do seed my lawn to choke down the dandelions. I do spend time uprooting the greens while the have fun kids filling the wheelbarrow with them. When that gets old, I play hide and seek with the kids, tend to the butterfly garden, have a beer with my husband and forget about the yard. Because our neighbors and we aren't spending time worrying about who has dandelions, we do spend time getting to know each other, chilling out, and giving each other a hand in time of need. We use our yards often - as a place to congregate and play.

The value of houses in our neighborhood is great, by the way.

Snoop, we have one of the nicest yards in our neighborhood; hundreds of flowers (not counting the dandelions), a beautiful huge organic vegetable garden (the bounty of which we share with our neighbors every year), landscaping with some of the coolest stone in Kansas. Our nearest neighbor doesn't even mow her lawn more than twice a summer.

I guess I like living in an area where we kind of live and let live. Yeah, my neighbor doesn't mow her lawn. She doesn't complain about our dandelions, either. She doesn't want to mow her lawn, that's her can of beans. If our other neighbors want to paint half their house pink, and the other half brown, who am I to care? We just value different things. I don't particularly care about my home value. It's *my home*. It's where my kids play, my friends gather, and my husband and I hang out on the front porch during nice storms. I want to make it comfortable and inviting for those I love. And many of those whom I love like to pick dandelions.
