Marine Corp Banned in America

Marines Barred From Filming Commercial on Streets of San Francisco Tuesday, September 25, 2007

They're the strong and the proud, but the Marines aren't free to stand on the streets of San Francisco.

The Silent Drill Platoon of the U.S. Marine Corps wasn't allowed to be filmed Sept. 11 on California Street in San Francisco for a segment of its new advertising campaign, a Marine spokesman told FOXNews.com.

Instead, the elite group took its austere display to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area for the final segment of its "America's Marines" TV commercial. The group is on a two-month nationwide tour as part of the campaign.

Unbelievable

Things that annoy me Part II

1. Bicyclist that feel that riding on the road means they get a whole lane to themselves. This isn’t the Tour De JOCO. If you must ride in the street stay close to the gutter.
2. The fast food Drive Through. You have 2 simple tasks in your job. Take money, put CORRECT ORDER IN THE BAG, THAT’S IT. Yet this simpleton isn’t even capable of handling this.
3. 55mph on 435 or I 35. Why this person even attempts to navigate the highway is beyond me. They look out onto the highway like scared deer with a death grip on the steering wheel as cars fly right by them at a whopping 65mph. These people cause more accidents than speeders.
4. People from St. Louis that think their city is on the East Coast. Last time I checked our sewage runs down stream.
5. Celebs that help Africa first and the citizens of this country 2^nd. Hey Oprah, I am sure that the Chicago public schools wouldn’t mind if you helped them out. I am sure your limo drives by thousands of homeless people on the way to the studio that could use some of your Africa money.
6. People that hate JOCO but work here and spend the majority of their time in the community. Why work in a community that you hate? That’s right, the community you live in has no jobs.
7. The makers of deodorant that do not automatically put in antiperspirant. Who the hell thought this was a good idea? Is there really a segment of our society that doesn’t mind having sweat stains on there shirts as long as they smell like an Irish Spring?
8. People that will spend 5 minutes digging through there pockets in order to produce “EXACT CHANGE” at the cash register. This moron thinks that it is some sort of sport and does a fist pump once they find it.
9. PEOPLE THAT WRITE CHECKS OUT ONCE IT IS THEIR TURN TO PAY. This ass clown has been in line staring at nothing for 8 minutes yet the thought never crosses their mind to break out the check book and get everything filled out except the total. GOOD LORD!
10. People that press 2 in the elevator. Seriously you can’t walk up that one flight of steps?
11. Discount scan cards: Why do I need to carry a little card that I paid nothing for, that anyone can get that is scanned before I can get a discount? Am I part of some special club? Are people suppose to see the Price Chopper card in my wallet and be impressed?

Warmer-than-normal winter predicted for KC By BILL GRAHAM-The Kansas City Star
A warm end to summer in Kansas City could be followed by a similar winter, forecasters say.The National Climate Prediction Center in Camp Springs, Md., is predicting warmer-than-normal temperatures for Kansas City from December through February.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anybody that has lived here longer than 6 months knows to take whatever weather people say and reverse it. Warm Winter = Snowfall by Halloween.

I want to post a before picture because in 5 years these houses will look nothing like this. These are the homes that the people that lived in the projects will be getting from the government. A whole town in Kansas was rebuilt by its citizens but the people of New Orleans that need these houses continue to watch Montel in there FEMA trailers until these houses are delivered.

What are they thinking?

If you are part of a company that is at its all time low and has been losing its market share to its competitors for the past couple of decades, do you think you need a raise? The brilliant union leadership for the GM workers think so. If the Unions want to give there workers better pay and more benefits how about using the dues that they pay for that instead of lining the pockets of politicians.

I hope this thing drags out for an extended period of time and yet another Union falls to the wayside.

CAN YOU ALL SPELLZ RITE?

Spelling Test


I will be the first to admit that spell check has ruined me. I did however finish better than I thought. Enjoy.

ROID RAGE

Kansas City has ties to DEA steroid bust.

The Chiefs offense has been cleared of any involvement in Steroid use after officials were sent game tape of the past 3 weeks.

Columbia University - Terrorist Safe haven

The fact that these idiots would invite Hitler to speak doesn't surprise me. These people hate America and welcome with open arms those that seek to destroy us. At least the Iranian leader is open about his hate for us, the cowards at Columbia are hiding behind freedom of speech. The problem with that defense is that the dictator is not an American citizen and is not protected by our constitution.

Liberals support this guy but HATE our generals that guide our army's to protect our country.

Hispanic Activist Gone Wild Brought to you in part by Liberals

Liberals never stop amazing me. Lou Dobbs nails this one.

The people of Kansas City better wake up because this is coming to a neighborhood near you. The militant talk from the Hispanic extremist in this community is all ready starting.

WEEKEND THINGS OF NOTE

• I went 7-3 in my office Pick Em which once again put me in 2nd place. This will be the 4th straight week that I finish 2nd. The first place winner has not been the same all year.
  
• I went to the Plaza Art Fair and didn't see any Art. That is a win in my book.
• We went to the Bristol for dinner on Saturday night and dined on Steak, Lobster shrimp etc for free thanks to some gift cards my employer gave me awhile back. The food was good but I still prefer McCormick & Schmick's.
• The lawn mowing in my neighborhood is pathetic.
  
• The Rhythm Rockets are a worth seeing.
• The Chiefs defense is the best I have seen since Marty left. They are currently ranked #4 in the NFL.
  
• Nebraska is the most over rated team in college football. Ball State???
• It is possible to watch 4 NFL games on Sundays.
  
• I still have not fired up my new smoker!
• It is time to start planning my October Chili/Sausage event.
• My wife spent over 10 hours on the computer yesterday. I have realized that I am a scrapbooker enabler. She is now going to be hooked on digital scrap booking due a new tablet that I got her.
  

reese witherspoon HOT ?

KERRYISMS

Yesterday I suggested to my wife that it might be a good idea to make reservations for Saturday night so that we could ensure ourselves a spot at the Bristol. She hunted down the phone number on the giftcard and told me that she was going to give them a call, so I hung up.

Tonight she informed me that she forgot to make the reservations. I said that I thought she did that right after I hung up the phone with her, she said that "That is just how my brain works".

I have no idea what that means and I am pretty sure that I don't want to find out.

KU BASKETBALL NOTES

Friday, September 21, 2007 ANDY KATZ ESPN

• Brandon Rush said Tuesday that he's starting to do some cutting and coming off screens during individual workouts. The Kansas guard is still recovering from ACL surgery last June. He said he doesn't have a timetable yet for his return. KU coach Bill Self had projected Dec. 1 as the return date, but Rush said they haven't given him one as of yet.

As for the rest of the squad, both Rush and senior guard Russell Robinson said that Darrell Arthur is just "dunking on people," and Rush added that Arthur "has that mentality that no one can stop him."

Robinson said he's using this pre-preseason time to work on his leadership skills since he knows he'll have to be more assertive while Rush is rehabbing. One sleeper player that doesn't get a lot of talk on KU's roster is Roderick Stewart. What it's worth, the fifth-year senior has been a pleasant surprise to Robinson. Stewart still may have trouble getting on the court with Robinson, Mario Chalmers and Sherron Collins and Rush (when he returns) ahead of him. But if Stewart is playing well early, he might get a longer look.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If KU doesn't win this year Bill Self could find himself on the way out.

Notes From This Week

1. Gas Station Car Wash's should just disconnect the dryers. THEY DO NOT WORK.

2. My 10 year streak of not hitting an animal while driving came to and end this morning. At aprox 10:43am I ran over a squirrel in downtown KCK. I have found comfort in the fact that I might of actually done him/her a favor due to its place of residence.

3. Normally I don't like sweets but I discovered Ben & Jerry's Peach Cobbler ice cream this week. I am on carton #2.

4. Manny's Mexican joint on SW Blvd is over rated. Do not believe the hype.

5. You never see Chinese people working at BBQ joints. This topic was covered extensively in my office this week. There is a $50 prize if anyone can bring back photographic proof of this.

6. Midgets can be homeless too. I met "Stan" this morning outside the Federal Reserve Building downtown. He had a cardboard sign asking for money, not will work for money, just money. Two things ran through my head. 1. I had never seen a homeless midget. 2. People in SUV's will never see that guys sign.

7. The Wal Mart in Topeka might posses the scariest collection of white people on earth.

8. My wife can make an incredible salad. The salads I make at the salad bar are inferior to the creation that she brought home last night.

9. My youngest daughter is a freaking comedian. Every thing she does is an attempt by her to be funny, and it works.

10. My oldest daughter might be a little bit spoiled. My wife on the other hand is spoiled.
