THE BASEMENT

After 12 years of marriage and several failed attempts it appears that I will finally have the room I have always wanted. The new house has a professionally finished basement with a wet bar, full bathroom and nice windows. This is more of a family room than what you picture a basement to look like.

For the past week I have been trying to figure out a theme for that room that will stand the test of time. I want to make sure I do it right and it doesn't end up looking like some teenagers bedroom or worst (everyone else's basement). To me there is nothing more depressing than seeing a basement with a TV, old sofa, plastic plant and a tacky painting on the wall. Who the hell wants to watch the game or a movie in a room like that? Since we have people over all of the time we need a place that is set up specifically for this.

So I have decided to go with a "Sports Bar"/"Irish Pub" theme. My goal is to take the best elements of sports bars I go to in town and shrink them down to my basement. From memorabilia to pub tables, lighting, color, bar etc... that is what I will be going for. Of course this can not all be done at once but I would like to get the majority of it in place in the next few weeks.

I toyed with the idea of putting a pool table down there but it would occupy too much space but there still may be room for a foosball table, who knows.

Paper or Plastic

This dumb ass thought that stealing from a grocery store was worth STABBING a security guard when he was caught shoplifting. Normally I don't think that shoplifting is a crime punishable by death but when you stab an innocent security guard you get what is coming to you.

As I have been saying for the past 3o days our criminals need to learn "risk vs. reward".

QUICK HITS

1. Hillary makes a move to capture the "black vote" and gives up on latino vote.

2. Idiot in Venezuela makes another empty threat. How this guy is still alive is beyond me.

3. Pelosi can't put down the crack pipe. The surge was a bust? Remember liberals this is YOUR leader.

4. Bush catches contact buzz from Pelosis pipe. It doesn't matter how much or who tries to polish a turd, in the end it is still a turd.

5. Bill Clinton understands black people. Well at least he is trying to claim to once again. Hasn't the grand wizard done enough damage to his wifes campaign?

6. Peg leg representing herself in court. Apparently she couldn't find a female lawyer with one leg.

7. Congress continues to waste tax payer money by going after MLB. This might be one of the biggest jokes ever in American politics. Don't these idiots have other problems to worry about? God forbid they take on Social Security, Medicare, immigration or the 3 TRILLION DOLLAR BUDGET! I give up. You would think that Roger Clemens was Bin Laden.

8. When all else fails, blame video games. You wouldn't want to blame the VA for not having the proper programs/funding to ensure our soldiers can adjust properly when they come home.

STOP THE MADNESS

SHE CRIED AGAIN. HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hillary Clintons game plan is clear, GO AFTER THE WOMAN VOTE but Do women want a leader that cries all the time?

TOLEDO, OHIO HATES THE MARINE CORP

Yet another city decides to turn its back on the people that defend our country. Mayor Finkbeiner (the idiot mayor of the city) says that the Marine Corp frightens people. I guess the site of coffins covered in American flags coming off of airplanes doesn't. The Marine Corp needed this area to train for Urban warfare and has been doing this for years. I guess they can learn on the streets of Baghdad.

From the story
Lance Cpl. Brandon Bukrey-McCarty, 22, recalled taking part in the company's 2006 urban patrol exercise in downtown Toledo. He said he learned skills during that exercise that proved useful during the unit's deployment to Fallujah, Iraq, in 2006-2007. "It was extremely helpful," Corporal Bukrey-McCarty said.

If ever there was a Mayor that needed to be recalled it is this ass clown. Of course much like the hippie mayor of Berkley I am sure that he will be apologizing in a week.

THE HANDGUN BAN IN DC WORKED!

Not even the biggest dumb ass would believe that headline. Taking away amendment rights to lower crime is never a good idea. The people that want to kill someone or use a gun to commit a crime will always find a way to get their hands on one. The people that follow the laws and would use it for self defense purposes are the only ones screwed.

By having a law like this you basically take away the ability of the "good guys" to defend themselves. Another brilliant well thought out liberal plan.

Hopefully Cheney gets this thing revoked.

TAPE, CHAIR, SPECIAL ED, CHICAGO TEACHER

What happens when you combine all of the above mentioned words? You get one sick & twisted story. I am all for allowing schools to discipline kids within reason but this chick takes the cake. I was joking when I said that you could get all the info you needed for dealing with the mentally handicapped from "There is something about Mary". It appears that some people actually use it as a training video.

No word on weather or not Mongo was tied to a dog run during recess.

THE DOME FACES TROUBLES AHEAD!

The Mayor of KCMO is pushing light rail that would link JOCO to the rest of the city. This is the exact opposite direction that the dome needs to be going in. As I have posted earlier we need to incorporate draw bridges, moats, security check points etc... in order for us to preserve the high quality of life that we have. People in the dome have cars, not bus passes.

I would be in favor of JOCO to start requiring work Visas to be used to gain entry for those that work here but live elsewhere.

I would be in favor of 4 parking lots(North, South, East, West) in which people from out of town can park their "cars" and take the JO (nobody uses it anyways) to their place of work or shopping. The parking lot blight in this town has got to stop.

I would be in favor of a JOCO based news program(KSOP). Nobody wants to wade through the 15 minutes of violent crimes that take up the first part of the news before we get to sports & weather.


Just KIDDING!

COUNTRY MUSIC FIRST

An artist named Carrie Underwood is the first to have a single go Double Platinum. She might make it in this business.

QUICK HITS

1. I find it funny that WATER is such a huge problem in this country. Not oil, water. Not food, water. When the hell did we become Ethiopia?

2. Clintons are reverting to their WT Arkansas ways and not paying rent. Yet these people want to run the country?????? So much for caring about the everyday guy.

3. Bush ( a nonconservative) is asking conservatives to back McCain't ( a nonconservative) for the good of the Republican party. With a 30% approval rating and 11 months left in office does any of this make sense? How about we just sit this one out like we did during the congressional elections and wait for you guys to leave our party.

4. Iran gives the United States the finger again and we do nothing, again.

5. Neil Young Sobers up? Lynard Skynard should of kicked this guys ass out of relevance a long time ago.

6. Sugar is in fact bad for you.

7. Prince Andrew does more for Compton, Ca in one day than the liberals who have run the place have since the riots in the 60's. I don't know why he just didn't help plant some tulips, that seems to be Kansas Cities solution.

8. Wong says its ok for kid to lose his Wang. Damn this is a funny story.

Da Lench Mob

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON ?????????????

What a crappy day in America today.

1. Kirkwood Mayor and others gunned down tonight.


2. Florida hostage situation


3. Ohio teacher executed in front of her students.

4. Cop and 4 others killed in LA standoff.


5. New Orleans adds number 21 for the year. That is nearly 1 murder every other day.

BUYING A NEW HOUSE IS A PAIN IN THE ASS

1. Why the hell does it take so long to get paperwork done?
2. Packing is not nearly as fun as unpacking.
3. Getting rid of stuff you do not want to take is a hassle. 80% of the crap we own needs to go. It is either going to be upgraded or has outlived its purpose.
4. The thing they don't tell you is that you will need an additional 10k to furnish your new home. We need furniture for the kitchen, master bedroom, scrapbook room and another TV. Not to mention the possibility of a pool table & Bar for the basement.
5. Buying in the winter means backyard additions have to be put on hold.
6. I am going to have to learn to speak Blue Valley.
7. Everyone has "a guy" for everything. What makes their guy the right guy?
8. When you are having to tell your real estate agent how to negotiate you ask yourself why is this guy getting a commission.
9. Taxes
10. MOVING - I think we have this covered with a moving company but it still is a pain.
11. The learning of abbreviations. The code that these people speak is only rivaled by txt messaging and Navajo Indians.

BILL MAAS WALKS!

It appears that Billy Bob got off pretty easy with his sentencing. How does one get only 2 years of probation for Gun & Drug Charges? This guy is going to end up killing himself or somebody else sooner or later. I hope the judge can live with that.

PERHAPS THE GREATEST WEBSITE EVER FOR MEN

This site (link to fox news story)could revolutionize shopping for men who need help in buying gifts for their wives. THE INTERNET HAS FINALLY REACHED IT'S FULL POTENTIAL.

This link is PG 13 but PROB NOT SOMETHING YOU SHOULD OPEN AT WORK.

Guys, you can thank me later.
