true story about MLK and James Brown

Google search for one of the most iconic photos ever taken in Boston

For someone my age the mayor of Boston will always be Kevin White. Not Menino or Ray Flynn. Kevin White. He lived a long time, and kicked a lot of ass. Whitey was there at the same time, too, so I am under no pretense that White was a saint, but he did a good job dealing with the court ordered busing of high school students in the city.

Of course now, Boston is every bit as segregated as pre-busing, but Mayor White did a good job. He was a good man and one on the great Bostonians of any era. And that's saying something.

===============

Answer Key

1
Jim Sweeney was, according to some, the mastermind of the BC betting scandal and my second cousin
Shane Battier never lifted a weight- would rather talk than do - not
Rich Shrigley is the correct answer because Tom Davis said of him, "We just play better with Rich on the court"
Bill Bradley - you're kidding, right? he wanted to be president his whole life, therefore shouldn't be

2
Tom Garrick - I watched him play on tv in high school when I lived in Wayland. He led Rhodie to a deep tourney run and had a good career with the Clippers
Matt Palazzi - father Togo was a great player, Matt a good one at Providence, shooter pre 3
Karl Hobbs and Vern Giscombe - point guard combo at UConn for Dom Perno, good teams, never made NCAAs but could play, I saw them play at the old fieldhouse and at the Civic Center vs Patrick his freshman year
Stu Primus - looked like a linebacker, good player for badass BC teams in the early 80s, on national tv in tourney several times a year
Mike Moses - started ahead of Mark Jackon Jackson's freshman year, a black lefty?
Ronnie Perry, Jr- man, if you don't know this one, played with Lucy's friend, they beat UM in the tourney one year
Butch Wade and Richard Rellford - bookend forwards for UM and Freider the year Nova came through Dayton
the Little General - Andre Fucking Turner, man. Got BC in the tourney in 85 when Skip had that turnover, otherwise, it's 4 Big East teams (because there's no Final Five)
Benjie - had the look of one of the greatest ever. For real

My Take - And I Do Have One...Wait, Scratch That

Barry is keeping me and my money

And he is almost the only person in the capital who thinks this is a good idea

I think Barry is scary weird

Not crazy, because he works and puts food on the table

But scary weird

Hell, I voted for him

A lot of us did

That doesn't change the fact that he needs to step down

And let those who pass for adults take over

I'm ready to go, man

Who's with us/US?

I Am Asking President Obama To Resign For The Good Of The Nation

Why the President should resign:
1) He thinks Bobby Orr played with more substance than style
2) He made fun of me several times with his remarks to the Bruins at the White House Monday
3) He is the Do Nothing President
4) VP Biden is the Last Lion
5) A closeted man should never be in a postion of power – if open gays ran the country and a closeted straight guy was POTUS, that would be bad. Living a lie is not good for anyone
6) Biden would be a great President, or at least our best since Nixon. He is a leader and an ass kicker and a real man
7) Barry is mean and arrogant and a bit of a spoiled child. Is that who we want running things, or a guy who survived the death of his spouse and kids?
8) Biden knows DC. Barry didn’t even know enough about Chi-town to take a bride
9) When Barry was in trouble in college, he transferred. Is that who we want running things?
10) Barry never made a dime except from his writings. Biden is not a rich man, but he is an honest, hardworking son of a bitch with an incredible family and family story. Look it up.
11) Barry, like most African Americans, never had a father. Biden did.
12) When is the last time Barry attended a Columbia game of any sport? Biden goes to Delaware football games so often he has his own section: Biden’s Badasses
13) Barry’s brother in law Craig gets his ass kicked in the Pac 12 every night. Literally
14) I like Joe
15) I trust Joe
16) I’m not happy with the present situation and I’ve always said, If it’s broke, fucking try to fix the mutherfucker
17) How is your life going?
18) Barry can’t throw a baseball and didn’t even bother to learn how. Bush 2 practiced his throw for weeks, remember?
19) I might never hear the sound of my baby’s voice if Barry stay POTUS
20) I deserve it

D_AD

He'd hate me more than ever

Because I'm the teller of secrets

No I won't stop

And I do

Want you to stop

Whatever it is

That makes you so ashamed

Celebrity Divorce: It Makes Sense

An imbalance of power corrupts

In most marraiges the man has the power and the money. Do as I say or you'll pay for it, bitch

In Hollywood, there is no income imbalance. The wife can leave when she wants to

"Treat me bad and I'm gone" Makes sense to me

To make society fairer and stronger we need to make divorce easier not harder, to insure that woman are treated with respect and kindness

Supply and Demand? Fuck Supply and Demand

The way to understand economics is by telling yourself, "It's all about the price."

Go to the supermarket. Cow milk is 6 bucks a gallon? Try soy.

Oranges 3 bucks a pound? Try apples.

And so on.

A million dollar car might be safe and cool, what with the gun turrents and all, but I couldn't afford one.

A thousand dollar car might be good on gas, what with the fact that it weights 400 pounds. But get in an accident and see where you are.

That is economics.

As Meryl and co talked about in "The Iron Lady", the best place to learn econ is in a supermarket. That's what I do.

Undercover Billionaire

Say you took any of the billionaires in America, removed access to their money and connections, put them in some dumpy apartment, and let them loose in Portland. You'd have me

Now that's a show!

They'd say, "Why doesn't a guy like that have a job?" They'd say, "He's on roids." They'd say, "Faggot." They'd try to run him/me down in the street for being a dick. All that has happened to me, without the billionaire part.

Tell me that's not true

Newt's Decision

How can we possibly trust a man who would marry a woman who would do that to him? How?

It goes to decision making ability and the being able to read people

I read people in an instant. You have to in this world

If you can't, I won't hire you. I won't vote for you. And I won't want to be your friend

President? I wouldn't hire someone willingly with that background to clean my pools

Throwing Spaghetti Time: Income Tax Rates Based On Age

You get to vote at 18. Get to drink at 21. Get to drive at 16, basically.

How about you pay taxes at different rates based on your age? Brilliant, I know.

We can do this because we know the births of every baby in the country. If you are born here, we know the date. Most countries can't do that.

We need to use this data in a positive, economically sound way. Pay less tax during child bearing years. Pay more tax the older you get and the less dependants you provide for.

I won't hold my breath but it's a fascinating idea to me

Pass The Ammunition

You can be disabled without taking medication

I can reject the prescribed treatment if that treatment is useless or CAUSES HARM

I can be sick without being prodded and used and treated as an ATM

Do you mean to tell me that Joe Sweeney:

Graduated high school and a decent college, passed the CPA exam, held two different jobs without being fired,
AND THEN BECAME SO SICK THAT I HAD TO BE ON YOUR MEDICATION FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE?????

Do you really believe that, sirs?

I've read what you people wrote about me. Wrong wrong wrong. Entitled? Yes, to a life

I never thought cameras were watching me UNTIL I STARTED TAKING YOUR DRUGS, sirs

I attempted suicide through an aspirin overdose, that's true. I was 24 years old and living with my Dad and Mom. How would you feel? Anyone who doesn't at least consider taking their own life in a situation like that is an unfeeling moron. I made a passionate mistake: Should I be sentenced to obesity, sleeping all day or not at all, paranoid delusions, the rebound effect, and your kind treatment, for the rest of my days?

Do you really believe that?

If you do, congratulations. You are evil

WWGCD?

Romney: They're on my bumsky about all that money I've made. So, Mr. Big Time Campaign Manager, what do I do?

George: Release every fucking financial statement you've got! And when they bitch about you being rich, tell 'em, "Jealous?" Hell, for a million dollars I'll suck your dick right now. And I've been dead for years. The green is still the green. No shame in winning, gov. Why do so many politicians have to apologize for being good at their jobs? I was good at mine and made millions, I tell ya. Millions. And put most of it up my nose, but that's a story for another day

Romney: Thanks, Carlin. I appreciate your help

George: No problem, Mr. President

SI's fine writer Phil Taylor talking about what happens next

Man, I know black guys are inherently less intelligence than white boys, but Phil, you gone and done it now

Kids need contact with good people like you more than ever, brother

This is how WE GOT IN THIS MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Parents being afraid. Kids being led to believe there was something wrong with them

Bitch, there never were any razor blades in the candy bars! That was a story made up by someone who probably was abusing their own kids in order to isolate them from good men like you, Phil

Tell me that's not true, America

Drew Whiffed on Her "Whip It"

Watched a bit of Drew's "Whip It" from a few years back

Started OK but went nowhere

The thang thas got meh steamed is da reference

To Paul and George Roy Hill

She had Ms Hansons beating up a Coke machine

AND THERE WAS NO SWEARING

What the fuck it that about, bitch?

Your movie, Drew, had more blood than one of the "Reality Stars Give Birth To Nine Stupid Kids!" shows (What? Not YET!)

How is it that one of the funniest scenes in movie history was

Bastardized by Drew Barrymore?

You're a big shot, Drew

You gotta do better

The movie sucked anyways, why not have some fun with an R?

Further, the lighting made it look like a bad porno (what?)

Just a depressing flick to watch

Heartbreaking

All porn today is rape

All movies today are like watching someone else play a video game

All tv shows today are so fucking serious

I wonder how much of sports is real today

Sad

But

Spring is coming to the Northeast

My Second Biggest Discovery

I like to work out but used to have a lot of back pain

A couple of months ago I started using different weighted dumbells when I did shrugs or curls or supersets or whatever. And my back pain is gone. And I think I look OK

Name me a sport where both sides of your body are used equally at the same time. You can't. The left side of your body is used more in some situations, like fighting off a tiger, than others. And vice versa. In order to find balance in our bodies we must lift unbalanced

When doing farmer's walk, try a 50 and a 35. Walk for 60 seconds around the gym, then switch hands. Or not. Or put one dumbbell down. Change it up and put different levels of stress on either side of your body

All the machines and flat and incline benches at my gym? Useless. Completely

For strength training just use dumbbells and cables and put different amounts of stress on the two sides of your body

Joe Sweeney tm

21st Century Dilemma - The Great Brain Drain

I you live in a shithole like Maine, as I do, you notice that all the leaders, the smart folks, the innovators, are all gone. Left behind are the followers, the only ones willing to work for $8/hr (I did for a while)

The talented folks like Anna Kendrick and the rest have moved on to where the action is. It certainly isn't here

This is a big problem for the country. Being smart is more important than it's ever been. Smart people go where other smart people are. To places like Manhattan and Boston and LA, where they can live interesting lives and be rewarded handsomely for their gifts

Those left behind work registers, giving out change. Or sell drugs and live underground

How do we solve this? No idea. But it's a massive problem for the world. A stupid person can't make 50k a year anymore. More like 15k. Big difference

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is unexplained pain in the joints and muscle tissue caused by stress. I believe the brain is using its fight or flight response to tell the sufferer that they should remove themselves from the stressful situation. I'll bet this is the single most common ailment that GIs suffer from.

Fibro was not invented and is not caused by chemicals or anything else. It is a natural nervous system response to danger and stress. Get me the fuck out of here, idiot! If you're unable to, the pain gets worse because the brain is at war with itself.

There is no treatment or cure for fibromyalgia. There is no swelling so anti-inflams are useless. Cold, heat, liquids might help a little bit,

The best thing you can do for a fibro sufferer is give them a hug every once in a while.

Right?

Race To The Finish

Mr. Authority Man
We don't need your stinkin' paper
To tell us we're forever

You don't need an OK to fuck
Or have a baby
We don't need you now, either
Britch and Joe are Broe
Now and always
Forever and ever

Mr. Authority Man tells you and you what to do
But not Broe
We know who and what we are
So take your stinkin' paper and shove it up your ass
This year is next year

Question

Who is Carl Bernstein?

?

Is speaking about truth, about how the world works, the reason why this is happening to me?

Did they really expect me to be this good?

Are they as shocked as I am?

The cover of all those magazines making nodding references to me; they didn't expect that, did they? Could they?

The world knows. So why?

I have no idea, but it's embarrassing the shit out of a lot of people, I think

I want to go home to B

What I Want

Brit

to get paid for my service to America

that's it

Too Jewish?

Have you called your son/brother/sister/etc over there?

And asked how they were doing?

And if they got that care package we sent?

Guess What Barry?

The whole world is watching you fuck this up. America: The Land of Lost Opportunity

It's Like A War Zone In Here

They send Carter and Cohen and the rest to hot spots all over the world, but they don't send them to The 'Pent? Plenty of room in here for a table and three chairs. Come on over. We'll have a coke and a smile. Maybe.

Why Blacks Are "Lazy" Part Duece

What the hell is the President doing? Why am I still here? What is my crime?

Is he and his team of idiots that inept at political infighting that they can't get the military and FBI to release my and give me my money? They could if there was the will and the votes. There isn't, apparently.

We as a nation are paying the price for California's collapse, the stacking of the Supreme Court, Ronald fucking Reagan, Cheney, the ineptness of the Dems, income inequality, the rise of Wall Street financial morons attracting 99.99% of the best college grads (who find out their jobs are worthless after they have a $5m mortgage), and Chris Ford. Fucking losers.

Because I make you laugh

Because I'm good

Afghanistan: Bring 'Em Home

The war against terrorism is over, for now. We won. They lost. So why do we still have tens of thousands of troops in that hellhole?

Afghans like to kill each other. They don't have cable. In fact, 99% of them can't read. They just like to kill each other. Next time you read an article about Afghans or Iraquis killing each other remember that. They kill each other whether we're there or not (unlike Vietnam). They live in the Middle Ages with automatic weapons. I say, build a fucking fence around Iraq and Afghanistan and let 'em have at it. Swallow the key and come home. The mission of destroying Al Queada leadership is accomplished. We won. They lost. As simple as that...

Well, there is the question of the many, many billions being spent on stuff to protect us from a nonexistant enemy. What do we do about that? Damned if I know. But when my fellow Americans are dying at a rate of ten a week for nothing other than the fact that soldiers die every day, I say, "No more."

Bring 'em home. Let 'em find jobs here. That's a warrior's task if I've ever seen one.

LBJ and Nixon

LBJ: Congress lived in fear of this man, he knew how to push buttons

Nixon: Enemies list, ugly guy physically, dead maker, petty, brilliant

LBJ: Civil Rights Bills, NASA, could be cruel, vindictive

Nixon: Opened China, Title IX (a big bill), NASA, ended our involvement in Vietnam, bills to help lower and middle classes, loved his country, somber

Since then:

Ford: Ineffective

Carter: Disaster

Reagan: Villain not because he wasn't nice (he was) but because of his lowering of taxes on upper classes, expansion of deficit, anti-union, anti working class, full of shit on just about everything, not bright, worked hard but got played by smarter GOP people

Bush 1: best POTUS since Nixon, fought a righteous war and made right call at end, economy tanked and he got voted out

Clinton: Find me someone who knows Clinton that likes him, really likes him, and I'll eat my hat. No way, no how. Hllary fell in love with him in college like a lot of women do, he rode that to the White House, look at his daughter, inept, got lucky with internet boom, arrogant and a sexual predator

Bush 2: Good man who had to make a deal to take Cheney in order to get support of GOP, look at his kids, trustworthy, funny, kind, not brilliant but smart enough, passed just about nothing important besides the Patriot Act

Obama: Disaster. Fucking disaster.


Al Gore losing the electoral college but winning the popular vote brings out an important topic: The flight of Southern Democrats to the GOP following the Civil Rights Era. If Gore can get 1/2 a million more votes than Bush 2 and still lose the electoral, how is that fair and just? The South holds the key to the presidency in every election, and I'm telling you that since the South became the most important place in America politically we have been fucked and have elected crappy Presidents. Look it up.

The View From Here

Andrew Cuomo should not be President. Democrats have been disasters in the White House since LBJ, and he would be no exception.

President Romney? Looking pretty likely.

The GOP are adults and we're kids. Deal with it.

Basketball, Movies, and History - Part 3

Movies to consider...

"(One) Way Out" - Picture this... I'm a double secret agent for the Russkies and resemble a better looking Kevin Costner (with muscles). I pull my face off today and run off to Western Alaska with the nuclear codes. We (us/Russia) set off the bombs we've been stockpiling since the 30s, ending Earth as we know it. Bring on the cockroaches!

"Rocky" - Yeah, man. Rocky. Hell yeah

"Portlandia East" - Not funny, man. Not fucking funny

"Saturday Night Head" - Date Night 2

"Fame" - Fuck you and your autograph request. I'll throw anyone in a trash can that asks for my autograph

"12" - My girlfriend

"Universal Soldier" - Me and Brit kick the Russian mob's asses back to New Jersey

"Seinfeld" - Jerry, George, Elaine, Kramer, Joe and Brit meet at the cofffee shop every day, all day, for 9 years, talking about Brit's hair, Brit's makeup, Brit's smile, Brit's beautiful body. ...What was I saying? Brit's All American girl quality. Joe's courage under fire (Borat: NOT). Too Jewish?

"Stripes" - Joe and Brit join the army. Brit gets army to change the unis from olive green to fuchisia. I kick Russkies asses back to Brooklyn. And we have a surprise party at the end for Tina Fey, our bud

"All The Right Moves" - Joe plays football for MASH's MASHers. Get it? But I stink. My helmet is too big for my skinny body, the girl I love only has eyes for the fucking QB, who is on drugs no matter how pretty he is. The other kids make fun of me all day long in school, but after I score the game winning touchdown they give me the Moss "One Clap" salute. I tell them all to fuck off.

"Late Night With Joe" - Fibromyalgia induces incredible, incredible waves of pain throughout my body

"The Joe Sweeney Story" - Joe gets played for a fool but hooks up with the biggest babe in the world. Won't get fooled again because I'm there, man. I'm there

Brit 'n Joe Remixxss Chapter 13" - We in da house with Joe 'n Brit 'n we playin' playas playlists, playa!

"Broe" - You know the ending

55K Voted for Ron Paul?

That's just grrrrrreat!

Is this a joke?


Ron Paul got 23% of the GOP turnout? WTF? Ron Paul can't parallel park. Ron Paul is so dumb he named his son "Rand". What a stupid name. Ron Paul is so weird he thinks Texas oughta join the Union. Ron Paul knows so little about economics he actually thinks he understands what the phrase "supply and demand means" (I don't ). Ron Paul is so weird he actually liked "War Horse". Ron Paul thinks he knows what a "write off" is.


Ron Paul got 23% of the Republican vote in the nation's first primary? Lord, save us. Seriously, somebody save us.


NH #s per Boston Globe --Votes ----Vote %
Romney , Mitt ---------95,669 -----39%
Paul , Ron ------------55,455 -----23%
Huntsman , Jon --------40,903 -----17%
Gingrich , Newt --------22,921 ------9%
Santorum , Rick ------- 22,708 ------9%
Perry , Rick ------------1,709 ------1%
Roemer , Buddy ----------919 ------0%

Rick Perry, governor of one of the most important states, got 1% of the vote and Ron Paul(!) got 23%? How is that possible? If I had a vote in that primary I would have gone for Santorum.

A Nuclear Iran Makes For A Safer World

The bomb leads to nuclear power leads to a better economy leads to more money for everyone in Iran leads to getting rid of the asshole religious nuts who run that great land leads to a safer Middle East leads to a better planet.

Is there a petition I can sign? Give Iran the Bomb! or some such

Don't believe the hype. A nuclear Iran is a good thing for everyone

The Future Of Work

Jobs? We need careers. Because jobs end. Careers involve skills that transfer from job to job.

You get a job somewhere. You get fired after a couple of years. What do you do now? If your employment was a "job", then you are fucked. If you had a career and loved what you do, were passionate about it and read about every aspect of it, you have a chance to gain new employment. Jobs end every second in America. We need careers, with skills that go with us from job to job, because your job, the one you have now that pays for those soccer drills and SUVs will surely end in the next five years. You'll need to get a new job in your same career, or you're fucked and you're gonna wind up dealing drugs to pay the bills, just like everybody up here in Maine has done when the mills and unskilled jobs ended twenty and thirty years ago. You have a mortgage and two cars and a grocery bill and no income, you sure as shit are gonna do whatever the fuck you have to do to stay indoors. Deal drugs to the rich kids? Damn right you would. That's whats happened to Maine. And it's a nightmare.

Is the future of America here in Maine? A bunch of rich turds who don't know and don't give a shit, and 1.15 million losers who deal Oxys and other assorteds to rich kids who live with their parents?

You Know What Guys Like Me Are Told All Day Long?

Deal with it maggots

The Future of Reality

In the future we will all have serious problems knowing what is real and what is not.

Is that magazine you're looking at online real or fake, done by a hacker?

Is the score of the baseball or hockey game you're looking at real or fake? We know it's easy to fake that stuff, so be alert. And afraid.

Is that actress or actor you're so hot for real or made up on a computer? I don't know either.

That song you groove to: Real people or computer generated 100%? I don't know either.

I like the idea of real people doing real things.

But I know that in the coming years it will become increasingly difficult to know what is real and what is made up.

Arms and Balls

Masturbation and procreative sex are the two most important things that we can do for ourselves and the species. How do I know that? As far as the procreative sex, well dude, that's where babies come from. Masturbation? Men, try reaching down to your scrotum with your hand and cupping your balls. It's a perfect fit, right? What do you think the cavemen did when it was raining or thundering and lightning, or there was no food to eat, or they were scared, or they were getting ready for a hunt or battle? They were massaging their balls in order to relax.

This masturbatory technique was made taboo by humans at some point predating writing, because we have no evidence of it. But it happened. Just as tools and language were developed by homo sapiens almost spontaneously, masturbation was made taboo in order to foster war, rape, and advancement of the species.

Try cupping your balls for 20 minutes. Feel like raping anyone? I know I don't.

Relax guys. You're in good hand.

/////////////////////

One more point: Mens and womens arms are different lengths because our torsos are different lengths. Mens torsos and arms are longer, making ball cupping a perfect fit. Womens torsos are shorter and their arms are shorter because or it, so that they can masturbate, too.

Tell me that's not true.

Why Blacks Are "Lazy"

You're brought over here on a swelteringly hot boat in chains. You don't speak the language of the crew or your captors. You have to throw your shit and piss overboard on the journey, eating worms and whatever disgusting garbage the crew throws at you in their attempt to keep you alive but not too alert.

You arrive in America and are sold to a white man in a confusing ceremony you don't understand. You are taught to work in the cotton fields, backbreaking manual labor that lasts six days a week, ten hours a day. Makework becomes your life: Don't work too hard because there is no chance for a pay raise, bonus, or promotion. You're a slave and always will be. Your kids will always be slaves, and their kids too. There is no hope and no fun and no laughter except for the hours of the night you sit around the fire and sing spirituals. Any extra effort, any attempt to stand out is met with the whip. You work too fast and you may get beaten by the other slaves. Work too slow and the master will beat you, or worse. If you're a female and pretty, you will be raped by the master and bear his children, causing jealousy and resentment among the other field slaves.

We wonder why blacks are "lazy" sometimes?

What would you do?

Games Within Games

Did you know any quality FBI agent doesn't go in the field anymore? Because if I'm a drug dealer and I sell you something, you do it in front of me, with me, or we don't have a deal. Make sense? And we can't afford to have our best people getting addicted to highly addictive drugs. So the undercover people nowadays are throwaways who play and get played. That hurts us, but it's reality. The top brass at FBI in DC have largely never met a bad guy in the field. How could they? Bad guys can smell quality as easily as I can. We better not be promoting people to run an office or to high level jobs if they aren't quality. It's an obvious Catch 22 for the nation and all law enforcement.

How do I know this? Someone played a game on me a couple of years ago. Their superiors, too. And let me in. And now I'm stuck here.

I want to leave and go home with my GF. Will that happen? Soon? I don't know.

Whatever the answer this is all fascinating.

Good Job

State of The 'Pent

My toilet gets backed up easily

I shit out 99% of the food I eat due to the latuda I take for mental illness. I can't stop the latuda quickly because of the Rebound Effect. My shrink? Don't ask.

My primary care doc's secretary is a snake. I hate calling up that office because I know the woman is GOING to shit on me. Try getting an apt. with a new doc.

My left foot is screwed up.

My back on the left side is messed up from about 6 weeks ago when I was pleasuring myself to the thought of my GF.

There's a shitty ass football game on TV right now. And Joe Buck has a cold.

I went to Manchester yesterday in hopes of meeting some reporters at the bar under the main hotel in town. Not a one in sight. Not a one. Think about that.

My car: missing a hubcap. Needs brake work and an alignment. My license is expired. My registration and inspection are three months past due and I cross my fingers every time I drive past a cop.

All my magazines, which I love so dearly and look forward to every day in the mail, are either phonies or written by computer.

There's no basketball on because the networks put the squeeze on all the small fish not to counter program with sports.

I haven't finished a book in about two months and am getting stupider by the minute. No energy due to stress.

All the food (or about 99.9%) in the two supermarket chains here in Maine tastes chemically. Really putrid. The only food that doesn't taste like chemicals is puddin'.

I'll make lasagne tonight, eat it, and shit 99.9% of out tomorrow morning. No conversion of the glorious ingredients into enegy for my muscles due to the shit problems associated with taking the latuda, which I can't stop taking due to the rebound effect, which was not intentionally put into the drug, but left in by the drug companies, who can't be caught because all the scientists in America that could catch them are on the drug companies payroll, because the AMA is bought and paid for.

I am broke and can't get a job because Maine is run by organized crime. 100%. And I am apparently too awesome for the organized criminals here.

I have no friends.

I haven't touched a woman in about 13 years.

Cable TV reception stinks. I don't know why.

My keyboard sucks. Can't afford the $50 to replace it.

The only phone calls I get are from credit card collection assholes.

I get basically no emails.

I live in a state that, much like America, is populated by billionaires and meth heads. You're either one or the other. The major business in Maine is drug dealing, thus people live undergournd and are incredibly unfriendly. Believe it. This is a hellhole.

I am on disability for a mental illness and haven't had a full time, self sufficient job in many years because I am lazy, stupid, and fat.

Is it worth it? I ask myself, and have no answer.

"literally"

I, quite literally, cannot find any liquids to consume here in Maine. The soda at the supermarkets? Awful. Coke and Pepsi supply ALL of them. The tap water? Awful. Milk. That's ok, I guess. Orange juice? Turrible. Bottled water? Chemically. Apple cider? Like you died and. Anything I miss?

Point

1) Manly gay sex is the most important thing we as a society can promote and foster right now. Nothing but gay sex between men. Almost all men are gay, folks. Almost all of them. So they better start fucking or they're going to start fucking, if ya know what I mean. We are one people from many fathers here in the US. And my gay brothers need to come out and play.

2) Politicians are SUPPOSED to look scared and creepy for the most part so we can scapegoat and ridicule them. That's how the game is played by the big money men, whom we almost never see. See?

3) The GOP runs, generally, 1 straight guy and a bunch of weird fags in the primaries. The closeted conservatives vote and vote, winnowing the field to one straight guy. They run him in the general election and get a bunch of Dems to vote GOP. That's how they keep winning the Presidency. Most people would vote for a straight guy over a male homosexual, I think. They just seem cooler and tougher. Look it up.

4) Is it possible that way, way back, men were taught that touching and playing with their balls and shaft below the scrotum was evil in order to promote rape and war? Play with your balls and that area of your shaft for 30 seconds, guys, and tell me if you feel like raping and pillaging. You won't and can't. I promise.

Have a nice day

AMA: Trust Us

No, I don't.

Thanks to Latuda I shit out every ounce of food I take in. No wonder I'm so frail.

Thanks to the Rebound Effect, if I try to get off the drug I will suffer brain symptoms such as anxiety and racing thoughts and who knows what else. It's really that cynical. The AMA is paid off by Big Pharma to keep this shit quiet.

Did you hear that?

Now We Know

Predators don't want to hear about predators. No one knew it was this bad. Now we all do. Thanks, America.

Old

Didn't the Cs play Larry last night? Am I fucking retarded? I don't get a paper, don't have a printed schedule.

I swear to me that we played Larry last night. I was tired and went to sleep, woke up at 1am, checked everything on the internet and cable, and they are all telling me that we did not play out in Indy last night.

Truly WTF. Pass the drugs. And the doobie.

Indy

Revenge of the Nerds

What It's Like

////////////////

Sexy. Fucking sexy.

Tiring and draining. Always. I go for about 4-6 hours, then need a break.

Electrifying. Often. You ever stare down dozens, hundreds, even thousands of bad guys who can't touch you? I have.

Fun, man.

Sometimes scary. Never really scary.

////////////////

You want to join up? If not, stand back.

Remember this night. Remember this feeling. All of you.

The Way The World Works

Think long term. Think global. Think money. Think power. Think billions, not millions. Or even trillions.

Thing big, not short. Think about legacy. Think about 10 years from now, not ten minutes.

And The Food...

Hannaford's and Shaw's are the only two supermarkets in Maine. The only two serving 1.2 million people.

A couple of months ago the chicken started to taste....bad. Nonchickeny.

The sweet potatoes changed color, texture, and taste. That is to say, they tasted like shit.

I tried a grapefruit the other day. Tasted disgusting.

I've always hated tomatoes. Now everybody else with a pulse does, too.

Soft drinks? Try buying a soft drink in Maine. Can't be done. They're all gross. Wicked gross. Just come up here and buy a sody pop, taste it, and see if you can keep it down.

Wendy's, McDonald's, and BK? Just try 'em, sucker.

Congressional hearings on the state of food in America? Sounds like a plan to me.

/////////////////////

I don't know what the play is yet. I just know the food here in Maine is gross.

You make it through the whole magazine this week?

That's good. You're REALLY smart then

Basketball, Movies, and History - Part 2

All oppression starts with the rape of children by their parents.

All oppressive societies in the history of the world have based their systems on this. The Nazis? All raped as children, growing up to rape their own kids. Japan before WWII? Same thing. Asia. Europe. Africa. South America. And now, North America. All oppressive societies base their power on the rape and suppression of infants, who learn to subjugate themselves and their natural desires for love and freedom.

god/God is crying today for you, Maine. This is not what he/HE wants for you.

Lesson Won: UNC down 8 to the fucking Dukies. 17 seconds on the clock. Coach Smith had held his timeouts, as always. And guess what? Carolina won

Lesson Too: War of 1812. In 1812 (that's where they got the name from, Bobcats) the English army burned our capital to the ground. To the ground

We won the war and England is now our slaves. Suck it England

Lesson 3: FDR, the greatest President and the finest man in the history of our country, didn't wipe his own ass from his 20s until his death. I don't know who did, but I'd like to shake her hand

Donations to the cause can be made, in cash, to her. You can trust her. She's a sweet Hoosier gal. Believe me. She'd love to hear from you

Just knock and say "Hi, are you Mary Sweeney?" and give her the loot

Thanks

Governor Chris Christie?

The "No Trust" Buster?

It's possible but not probable

He would have to win the election in 4 years, then appoint some good people to the Supreme Court

Like Sen. Franken

The Business of America

Is fucking Joe Sweeney

Is drugs

Is Big Pharma. Big Pharma is Big Tobacco. Big Pharma is making us fat, stupid, and aiding sexual predators fuck their daughters (their wives are fat and depressed and their daughters are juicy and fressh). Big Pharma is, what, 20% of the economy? Big Pharma is a transfer of wealth from the middle class to the 1% (think about it). Big Pharma is a disaster. Big Pharma is American business in 2012. Big Pharma is your enemy. Big Pharma is your neighbor. Big Pharma is in your food and water and soda and everything else. Big Pharma is America. Big Pharma is fucking America.

Legalize drugs? They are legal, bitch. Just not the good ones

The cycle of poverty? Of abuse? How about the cycle of business. Transferring money from the middle class to the 1% for 30 years. Since Reagan. Think about it. What to do. What to do. I'm gonna watch the Laker game. Kobe hurted hiself again? Poor baby

What really happened on September 13th?

Where did we go wrong?

It is slipping through our fingers, America, and if we lose it it ain't coming back for a long time.

The New Hampshire primary is in three days but the people employed by what was formerly known as "the media" will not report the real story. The real story is north of NH, in Maine, where a mafioso sits in the governor's chair and has appointed his compadres to run all the departments in the state. The real story is in Westbrook. The real story is in Lewiston/Auburn and in Bangor and in Presque Isle.

I know the real story. And if I know the real story, so do you, now that you've read what I have written. The genie ain't going back in the bottle folks.

Cameras Are Everywhere

And they ain't going away. Assume you are always being watched. There are no more secrets in America. The cops will get you if you break into a store at 2am because THEY HAVE YOU ON CAMERA. Pick your nose in your car. Caught! On camera! Deal with it!

That's life in the 21st century. It's just a fact, people. The cameras aren't going away.

Most people are NOT hams. I am one. Brit is one. Everyone in Hollywood and Manhattan is one. Mainers aren't. Bostonians? Not sure. A few. Deal with it.

I try to have fun with the cameras. What choice do I have, really?

Not everyone has what I have, I know. Not my fault. Deal with it.

Mornin', Joe!

I hereby declare my candidacy

To be a sitter on "Morning Joe" tomorrow in Manchester

Meeka: Sound good?

Cool

What's the pay?

What?

Pain in the Foot

Pain in a woman's voice triggers pain in my left foot

For real

(And sometimes my left knee)

Fathers abusing their sons and daughters

Is it 99% 95%?

The true number is unknown

Advice for us/US

Fathers: Stop

Daughters: I'm here for you

Sons: You, too

GOP Quandary

Mitt is the nominee. How do they keep us/US interested?

I don't know, but it's a problem for them.

Hurt Mitt too much and we hurt their chances, don't hit him enough and that may hurt their chances.

The other candidates? Dull and weird.

The answer?

Fuck you very much, Uncle Sam! Bitch, we couldn't be more alert!

Why I'm Lucky

A) My mother didn't want to let me loose into this world. She didn't have me until a couple of weeks after the due date, allowing, I think, my brain to develop a little more and a little better than most

B) I was not a gifted athlete, due to my central nervous system being fucked by my staying in the womb for a couple of extra weeks. If I was a good athlete I'd be just another Joe Shmoe. Instead, I'm part of Team Broe. Suck it

C) I was born just a year after my sister Maureen. My father had his way with her and left me alone. I love you Russell. I mean Maureen

D) My father was very bright and my Mom is very kind. I got those jeans. I mean genes.

E) I grew up near Boston, the City On A Hill

F) I went to Miami University

G) I am the beneficiary of about $150K in government disability benefits

H) I have paid my debt off, in full

Why Is Abuse Bad?

Because God/god gave them to you to protect

And you didn't

Genetically, I'll bet brothers and sisters and fathers and daughters can have decently healthy babies

But man, I left them with you to protect

And you fucked them

Not Everywhere. Everything.

I can spot you in half a second

Green eyed or blue

Tall or short

Fat or skinny

Abuser or not

Watch out

We Rollin' Now

These are just theories and should not be used in a court of law

/////////////////////////

There was very little pure male homosexuality in the caveman days

Monogomy is important for brain development because a close relationship with a spouse stimulates the mind

Male homosexuality was not a problem until we as a species became civilized, building houses and walls, about 10 to 50 K years ago. Walls led to privacy led to having sex without repurcussions (ie no babies as proof) led to fathers raping their sons and daughters, led to daughters, post puberty, becoming impregnated, thus spreading the abusers genes farther than his straight members of the tribe/village, who were content to impregnate one woman, their spouse. And so on, until we have a society, today, that is almost all homosexual male led.

Is that a problem? Yes, it is, because of the gay men's poor treatment of women (look it up) and self hatred due to the illogic of their biological urges.

We're on the ground floor of this, but the only direction is up. It gets better

Actually, Fish is the New Chicken

Boston Globe article

3/4s of the Earth is water. We need to do more with it. The surface parts of our planet are almost tapped out. Fish are our past, and maybe our future.

White fish have lots of protein, are filling, and can be cooked simply and quickly.

Fish are the future of food.

Sleep. Why

Cats never sleep and they're smart

Dogs sleep and they're smart

We sleep a third of our lives and we're really smart

Why do we sleep? What happens to our brains and bodies when we sleep?

We have absolutely no idea

"Dr" Phil vs Tina Fay

Fey? Shit

Dr Phil = 5m viewers vs Tina with 150K

Dr Phil = "Hows that working for ya?" vs Tina with "HOW DARE YOU!"

Dr Phil owned by Oprah. Tina thinks Halliburton owns everything (It's actually WalMart)

Dr Phil went to school....where? Tina = UVA, man. She's a Hoo

Dr Phil has creeps on. Tina? Alex

Alec?

Dr Phil is a Texican. Tina has no home, but lives in White Harlem, Brooklyn

Dr Phil is old, Tina young. Dr Phil has a mustache. Tina has pretty cheekbones

Dr Phil wears "Grandpa Overalls", Tina "Mom Jeans" (tm)

Dr Phil has a spouse. Tina = Rachel Dratch. And What's His Name (tm)

Dr Phil has been divorced. Tina is like a spider. She marries for life

Why Do Zits Stop, Basically?

They stop when we find our mates

Why and how? No idea

"Glory" for "The Children"

the Freedom Riders came through Oxford back in the day
I used to walk through Western on Sunday mornings, past the art museum and pond
And lovely blooming trees
Thinking about all of it
Why did they do that
Way back in ancient times?
It was the mid 80s and civil rights were an afterthought
For everyone, including me
I just wondered why they did what they did

Can you imagine
Getting on a bus in Ohio and
Going down to Selma and Montgomery
To get your ass kicked
For a cause, just
No pay, no bennies
Just a free ass whupping
For the good of the country

Who saved us?
We saved us

/////////////////////

They're all still alive
Because they were kids when they did it
Thanks to you, John Lewis and all the rest
For taking a beating for me

I'm a Born Teacher

The Surge, the heart of the bad times in TheRaq
Me, listening to Creed
At 12
Thinking about those poor bastards over there
They were watching me, even back then

I knew they listened to music just as loudly as I was
And that those stupid kids went off the road sometimes
Fucking with the dial
I came up with a technique to crank the volume
With my thumb, five fingers on the dash

Just a thing I did
For them
During the heart of The Surge

The Nuc-le-are Threat - Basically Nonexistant, Folks

It can't happen. There is no button. The codes don't work. Trust me.

Do you really think we'd blow ourselves up? Or Russia would do the same? It's been nonexistant since the 50s. All that money was for posturing. Trillions and trillions of dollars. Not down the tubes, because the economy runs on bullshit.

The world is safer today than it's ever been.

Any nuclear material being tested is "smelled out" by our guys. All of it. Within minutes.

Do you think Kim Jung Il really ran things in North Korea? He was a retard who watched movies all day. The generals and other smart folks run things in that country. Same as in Iran. All the speechifying that politicians have done? Total crap. We know everything nuclear. There will never be a suitcase nuke. We'd smell it out. Hell, yeah, man. For real.

The nuclear threat is dead. Basically.

The threats and yelling? Done to scare you, you stupid mutherfuckers.

Check's in the mail? Fuck you, assholes.

How Many Black Presidents Does It...

Take to fuck things up? One

Take to screw. in. a. lightbulb? Never been done.

Take to write a bestseller or two? One. With help.

Take to fuck things up? One. But I repeat myself.

Take to play basketball? One or four or eight or ten or millions. That's why it's the greatest game ever.

Take to raise two children? Not sure. Not finished yet. But things are looking good for the kids. Just look at them. They look fine.

Take to transfer colleges? One.

Take to graduate at the top of his class from Harvard Law? One, but there was a quota.

Take to strut across the dance floor? One, but hey. He's black. Oh, yeah. Half. Stop strutting and start doing, Mr. President. You. Look. Ridiculous.

Take to steal my girlfriend? None. Won't happen.

Take to dunk? Never gonna happen. Not even a Dukie can accomplish that for my man.

Take to throw a fucking baseball? What did I just say? Impossible.

Take to make a funny joke? None. Never happened. That's what JFK was for. Man, was that dude fucking funny. For real.

Take to deliver mail at the 50% barrier or above? One, but Newman is retired and the United States Postal Workers Union is a little short.

Take to breakdance? One. Can you imagine the President of these United States breakin' it down? He did.

I'm Coming Out

OK. Deep breath.

I'm

gay.

Yes, it's true. Fuck Britney. Go ahead, people. You can have at it with your spears. Broe is over. Ova. No more Broe-mance. Joe is gay. And Britch is back!

SNL: The only show worth a shit other than 30 Rock. And whatever sports are on. And sometimes AMC. Wish Mad Men was still on the air. Good show. Oh, and Dave. And my Ten O'Clock ladies. And The View. And Kelly. And (long wait for her) Ellen. Other than that, TV is a vast wasteland. Oh, and Law & Order. The real one. What? They fucking cancelled it? Gonna have to adjust my recorder. What? Jerry died, too? They fucking cancelled it and it killed the fucking man. Assholes at Microwave. Fuck you. You killed Jerry Orbach. And his boyfriend. Mutherfucker!

Bowled Over

The only game I'm interested tomorrow is Houston Cougs vs Penn State. Good matchup. High noon. The U

Winning

History is written by the winners. Will we win? I think so.

Malcolm X was a kind, funny, thoughtful, beautiful black man. Look it up.

President Lincoln was an overrated boob. Look it up.

Nice game, Brady. Guess they don't teach winning at Harvard. They do at Miami and Michigan.

Next...

Present Day

Is the POTUS angling to get the biggest statue in DC?

Is my girlfriend a captive? A big star being held against her will? I think so

The key is....

Follow me

I'm not going anywhere
