"I played this dumbass country like a harp from hell.
F•ck you, America!"
our last chance
friday, november 2nd, 2012
there are only a relative handful of days left to rid our precious American Constitutional Republic of our (not mine!) biggest collective election mistake: the racist, psychopathic, phony, Marxist, lying, narcissistic, muslim, doper, faggot, coward, traitor, lowlife dirtbag piece-of-shit – Barry Hussein ∅bummer – and his criminal cronies in the US Congress, and thousands of corrupt bureaucrats in scores of US Gov't Agencies.
Just wanted to let you know: today I received my 2013 Social Security Stimulus Package. It contained two tomato seeds, a 12oz packet of cornbread mix, two discount coupons to KFC, an "∅bama Hope & Change" bumper sticker, a prayer rug, a machine to blow smoke up my ass and a "Blame It On Bush" poster for the front yard. The directions were in Spanish. Yours should arrive soon.If we don't rid ourselves of that treasonous, lowlife piece-of-shit, it will literally be The End Of A Free and Prosperous America, as we've known it.
∅bummer has effectively laid the groundwork for the calculated destruction of Our American Way of Life, and re-elected to another 4 years in office, will complete that hate-filled, government-controlled, Marxist agenda.
Women, ask yourself one thing: why is the demokkkRAT party so concerned with what's below your waist – birth control and abortion – and not with what's between your ears – your brains –? It's not about "Womens' Health Care" – it never was about that – it's all about who pays for it. They have utter and absolute contempt for your intelligence to understand such a simple issue. Wake up, ladies, and see those liars and frauds for what they are.
How did the ∅bummer filth happen to us? Because he was a liberal, do-nothing, lazy piece-of-shit. And he was half-black. He got a "pass" – no one is entitled to such a "pass" on race-based, zero-accomplishment credentials – that he wasn't entitled to get. Disagree? Read this; I'll wait. Any questions, now?
∅bummer is a liar and a murderer. He purposely allowed the 9-11-12 Massacre of Benghazi to happen. And the stinking POS wants to be re-elected? BULLSHIT! HE SHOULD BE TRIED FOR TREASON, CONVICTED AND SUMMARILY-EXECUTED! IMO. ∅bummer is subhuman, garbage, trash-spewing filth. America MUST get rid of that piece-of-subhuman-shit.
How delusional were 52% of America's mentally-ill idiots/morons/cretins, in 2008 – who only care about their "0bamaphones", "Dancing With The Stars", "American Idol", $3,500 60" Plasma TVs, $800 Nike® Air Jordans, EBT Cards and weekly welfare checks – to vote for a liar and fraud, who called himself "The Messiah"? And apparently, there are still 46-48% of those welfare-loving socialist rats around, unable to distinguish reality from fantasy, liberty from tyranny or freedom from servitude. I say stand them all against a wall and shoot them. Rid America of the disease called *liberal-demokkkRATs*!
And all of you "Tax & Spend Crackhead Addicts" in the US Congress and White Hut/Crib – on both sides of the corrupt, criminal aisle – WAKE THE F•CK UP! You've spent America into an Unfixable Budget Oblivion!
If anyone ran his/her household or business, like the US Government runs itself, they'd be broke, bankrupt, out-of-business and living in a cardboard box, somewhere in an alley.
The federal government spent/wasted enough money on federal means-tested welfare programs to have sent each impoverished household a check for nearly $60,000 (actually $59,523), according to figures from the Census Bureau and the Congressional Research Service (CRS). What a waste! Shut the whole damned Federal Government down, and re-organize it!
Clean-out the stinking nest of liars, abortionists, thieves, perverts, cheats, drunks, deviants, lowlifes, dirtbags, commies, scumbags, muslim filth, and criminals in Washington, DC! Stand them all against a wall and shoot them. Start over with fresh, clean faces, and if they become corrupted, shoot them, too. The National Gene Pool needs a massive dose of Clorox® to clean-out the accumulated scum.
[•••JS' PS:: Next Friday's "Journal" entry will be a seminal event entry. We'll either be a cleansed nation, just beginning the long road to recovery from 4 years of absolute hell, or we'll be a dejected third-world country, well on our way to an unending hell. Will we survive in spite of our (not mine!) collective stupidity? See you then; or maybe not.]
The Countdown Clock to November 6th, 2012's General Election, is ticking-down.
The Countdown Clock to January 20th, 2013 Inauguration of a New POTUS, is running.
A Day In The Life
I was up at 4:15 on Friday morning, still thinking about the coming "perfect storm" warnings. After making French-Roast, Turkish-Grind Coffee (from whole, freshly-ground Dunkin' Donuts beans) with my 3-mug Chemex® Drip System, I had some Fresh-Squeezed OJ w/ lots of pulp, and made Sunny-side-Up Eggs, Sausage, Fried Potatoes & Toast. I decided to go food shopping this morning at 8am, instead of my usual 7am Sunday trip, since I'd need to be at Dad's to get a long list of his house's outside jobs prepped for the storm's wind/rain and possible snow/ice. And to avoid the panicking, last-minute, pre-hurricane crowds over the weekend. It was a cool 57°F, foggy and drizzly. I left at 8:15 for Weis Market, in East York.
Not everyone can be a hero. Some of us have to stand on the curb and cheer as they go by.It was fairly busy in the supermarket – unusual for that time of day, although I usually go at 7am on Sundays – due to the unending "FrankenStorm" warnings, whatever that means. Back by 9:30, I unpacked and left for Dad's at 10am to get started on some of his projects before the "perfect megastorm" events started snowballing too quickly. I'll be going back tomorrow and Sunday, to finish-up, before what's-her-name arrives. I also had some final preps to get done at my Condo, with
With maybe the best night's sleep, in a long time, I got up at 7:15am on Saturday. Cloudy, 56°F and not as foggy as the past two mornings, I was glad I'd gotten the storm door inserts on yesterday. It's nice to open-up the front/back doors and let the light in, but keep it warm and cozy inside, especially on snowy, Winter days. I had some Del Monte® Red Grapefruit Sections and coffee, while scanning the weather and new sites. French toast? Cereal? Ham & eggs? Hundreds of other options; heh. I had a list of "prep work" for Dad's and my place, which need finishing-up before SHTF on Sunday/Monday, or whenever now-downgraded TS Sandy arrives. I went with the French Toast; I'll do the Ham & Eggs for tomorrow morning's
Windows 8® truly sucks a bag of steaming, festering, fetid dog poop. I had the very unpleasant chance to use it on a new HP® laptop, at Staples®, and even their computer people said it was crap. Smartly (thankyouverymuch), I'm sitting on several copies of Windows 7 Pro®, and 2 other spare machines with Win-7 Pro already installed. I also have a Windows XP-Pro machine in pristine condition, as another back-up spare. I'll never make the switch. Screw you, MicroShit! You truly, truly f•cked-up, this time, morons.
Friend and former employee, Lee, called at 11:45am, invited me to lunch and to run some errands for pre-hurricane items. We stopped at nearby Deli of Italy for some great food; then left for Sam's Club® and Tractor Supply Co®, to get things for him and his family. Dad and I are already well-supplied. He dropped me back at the Condo at 4pm, and after I checked the storm's progress, went back out for a short walk and some fresh air. Back by 5:45, I went thru my 'fridge and two freezers, did inventory, added several ¾-filled, ½-gal frozen water bottles as "cold paks", in case we lose electricity on Mon-Tues; I'll set Dad's new 'fridge/freezer up with 2 of them, when I visit him tomorrow. I won't be going food shopping on my usual 7am trek; the supermarkets are already/will be absolute bedlam, with everyone else besieging them for last-minute "Hurricane Sandy Supplies". I'm more than well-prepared for any eventuality. By 9:45pm, I was ready to call it a day, and did.
Another good night's sleep; two in a row! Up at 7:30am on Sunday, I had some Texas Red Grapefruit, Raisin Bran w/ Red Raspberries, and coffee. Groggy until the coffee kicked-in, I remembered "Hurricane Sandy" and immediately went to the weather sites, to check the storm's progress. The US Power Grid was declared fragile and highly-at-risk for failure. States of Emergency are being declared all over the East Coast. At 10:15am, I started a full-system back-up
Here are the front pages of 800 newspapers across the US, by state and by city; mouse-over and click to read each. Take a lunch, as it'll be a long day to read all of them.
4:45pm on Sunday: the northern edge of Hurricane Sandy makes landfall and enters the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, while the main storm is still churning northeast at 14mph. It's projected to go right thru this York (PA) area, with major tidal surge damage to coastal areas. 34ft waves recorded by buoys just 5-7 miles offshore. We might soon have oceanfront property here. Heh. I was on FR.com's Hurricane Sandy Thread, and they had some good information and links. Meanwhile, The Weather Channel is frothing-at-the-mouth about Hurricane Sandy
Up again at 7:15am on Monday, after a good night's sleep, I turned-up the heat, heard the pouring rain, and made a large carafe of French-Roast, Turkish-Grind Coffee. After logging-on at 8am, I scanned and opened multiple weather sites' windows – NOAA, The Weather Channel, Weather Underground, WGAL-8, Accu-Weather, National Weather Service – and although the massive front/northeast side of 'Sandy' had just moved up the Bay and into the York area, much, much worse was still to come tonite and tomorrow. It was just beginning, in earnest, as 55% of the rain (1-2ft) and wind (70+mph) was just approaching my old GC&N Complex, 20 miles to the south. The main storm, now a massive 900 miles wide, was still 100 miles off the coast and steadily heading our way, at 14mph. The Condo's rain gauge already showed 4.65" at 7:45am from the steady, pounding rain, all night. My 4 skylights were dry and holding fine, but the damaging 60-90mph winds hadn't yet arrived. CommieCast CATV/Net was also fine, so far, but that would probably change when trees started coming down, later. I had some Fresh-Squeezed OJ w/ lots of pulp, Fried Ham, Hash Browns & Sunny-Side-Up Eggs, Toast and lots more coffee. If SHTF, who knows when I'd get another hot meal; if it doesn't, I'm full and fine for the day.
I called Dad around 10am; he was fine, but I decided to stay-off of the roads, per Gov Corbett/PennDOT's order at 9am. I really wanted to go out and take some
The power (Met-Ed Co) went-off at 6:50pm, and re-set 15-20secs later, just as I was grabbing some 3"x9" pillar emergency candles. Still raining hard, winds at 40-50mph, 60mph gusts, and destined to go higher thru tonite and into early tomorrow morning. 10,000 people in York County without power. Evacuations taking place in Southern York County. Emergency evacuation shelters filled to capacity. 42°F w/ 60mph winds = 35°F. By 8pm, the forecast was that the storm was passing so quickly that the worst winds could be over by 8-9am. Bad news: SNOW/SLEET IS MOVING INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST, for Tuesday! Yikes! I watched several local channels' weather stations forecasts, had enough of "Sandy" for the day, and called it quits at 9:30pm. Still raining hard.
Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.At 1:30am on Tuesday, the Condo's alarm system woke me with a beeping notice of lost power, so I stumbled down to the Honeywell® Lynx Plus® Security System control panel, to check the outage link, and then down to the
I fed the birds, as usual, and left at 10am. The roads were empty, homes and stores totally-dark, just 3-4 miles south of my Condo, all the way down to the GC&N Complex, only 15 miles away. Power outages everywhere. Street signals blinking, car accidents from careless drivers, tree debris littering the lawns and yards, and everything shuttered and closed-down. Since power was still out at my former business, I couldn't check the battery back-up, or re-set the alarms, so I simply locked it up, and came home. I'll have to go back down on Wednesday or Thursday, after power's restored, and see if I can get the battery back-up to recharge on its own. I made a Roast Beef Sandwich & Fries Smothered in Gravy, for lunch. My cleaning lady still had an hour to go, so I stayed out of her way, at my computer. By 2:30pm, it was still raining, with another 1-2" forecast; possibly snow/sleet coming-in later today or tonight. Temps quickly dropped into the upper-30s, and were becoming conducive to snow. Swell. I called Dad to make sure everything was okay with him and the house, listened to Rush, caught the morning's missed 3hr Chris Plante Show Podcast, and from 6-9pm, the Mark Levin Show. I also kept watching updates on the storm's damage; it was gut-wrenching to keep hearing the fatality and damage totals come-in, hourly. By 9:45pm, I'd had enough of watching, wanted to help, but couldn't find anywhere to donate online, yet. Trying to drive in there to volunteer is an impossibility; quarantines are in-place and strictly enforced for the many affected areas. I tried calling several Family and friends in NJ/CT/NY, but all their land and cell lines' connections were still down. I emailed them, and am waiting to hear back. Finally, I shut-down at 10pm and put an extra wool blanket on the bed.
Here's a slideshow of Sandy's damage, as of Tuesday, October 30th, at 4:15pm. I'm sure there'll be
Awake and up at 4:30am on Wednesday, it was a very cold 37°F morning, so I grabbed my thick and warm Turkish Bathrobe, cranked-up the heat, and made coffee. After scanning the weather and news sites, I had some Fresh-Squeezed OJ w/ lots of pulp, made Soft-Boiled Eggs w/ Bacon, and more coffee, while reading about Hurricane Sandy's terrible aftermath, which had now become a "recovery operation", of the storm's dead. The rebuilding process will be massive. I drove over to Weis Market at 7am, in East York, now that the "hurricane panic rush" was over, and saw 3-4x the number of re-stockers at work, replenishing shelves with endless pallets of goods. Otherwise, the roads were empty and I was only one of a few customers in the store. List filled and back home by 8:15, I unpacked, ran a MalwareBytes Scan on my system, and made more coffee. It took the chill off. I emptied the 2 freezers of the 7 frozen 1-gal water bottles, but kept them in the garage, for future usage in case of another emergency.
At 10, I drove to Dad's, spent a couple of hours with him, and was back by 12noon. After a BLT w/ Canadian Bacon and Grilled Peaches w/ Bleu Cheese & Balsamic Vinegar, I took a 3hr snooze on the LR couch, with Rush on in the background. One of my extended Family emailed back that he, his family and pets were okay in southern NJ; that leaves 3 to go. I had a bowl of Talenti Gelato, watched Fox News CATV coverage of the hurricane recovery/clean-up efforts. From from 6-9pm, I listened to the Mark Levin Show, and then went back to Fox News' hurricane coverage until 10:30pm. The death toll has climbed to 157; 88 here in the US alone. That was enough for me, for the day.
Another good night's sleep, until 7:30am on Thursday. And another damp, cold morning where Condo heat was needed quickly. At 39°F outside, I donned the bathrobe, had OJ, made coffee and
I arrived at 9:30, to find that power and phones were still out at the complex. After calling Met-Ed and Verizon for emergency service, I finally got work order-#s, and had to leave the place wide open so their crews/trucks could have access, 24hrs. York City also called to come in Friday, to mow the place, and prep for their tree-digging project, for the week of Nov 12th. What a freaking SNAFU and mess. I'm just able effectively coordinate all these things from 15+ miles away, right after an emergency like Hurricane Sandy. Resources are just too spread-out and sporadic, right now, and I don't have the financial power of my once-mighty company behind me, anymore. 2hrs later, I left and headed back north; there's nothing more I can do until the utility crews get power and phone service restored, down there.
I made a couple of stops on the way home, and got back by 1:30pm, unpacked and made a Bacon Cheeseburger w/ Home Fries for lunch. There were almost 2" of wet, slippery Pin Oak leaves again covering my and the neighbor's adjoining driveways, so I spent nearly an hour brooming them off, so no one slipped and fell. At 62, I don't "bounce" like I used to. I also moved numerous Spring/Fall coats from the front hall closet up to the Condo's 2nd BR closet, and brought down my several Winter jackets and parkas. Also, time to swap-out my über-comfy Stetson "Outback" Straw (I have 2) for my trusty Stetson "Indy" Fedora. Scarves, gloves, hoodies (underneath parkas), baseball caps (underneath hoodie), 12" LLBean® Insulated "Maine Hunting Boots"; all the Winter gear gets rotated into play for what I feel is a bad Winter, coming at us. I called it months ago, right here in these pages. Same for my Jeep's BOB (Bug-Out Bag). Uh-oh, here comes one for next week. Bring it, Mother Nature!
After a short nap, I listened to the morning's missed 3hr Chris Plante Show Podcast, and from 6-9pm, the Mark Levin Show. After checking The Weather Channel and Fox News, I called it quits. Tomorrow starts a new week, here in the "Journal", and I've got a pile of unfinished projects to get done, before Winter weather arrives for real. Tomorrow's another day.
Your TSHTF Survival
Are you truly ready for when, not if, TSHTF (The Shit Hits The Fan). And a lot of my "Journal" Readers have emailed and called me to discuss what preparations they should take for that "coming awful event". Believe me, "it" IS coming. Based upon what's happening around the world and here in the US, I have a terrible, terrible *gut feeling* that TSWHTF (The Shit Will Hit The Fan), sometime in late-2012 or in early-2013. Don't ask why; I just do.
First, Israel is preparing for war, after being attacked for years on many fronts, and not fighting back as she should have. This war will truly have "Biblical implications" around the world. The Middle East is rapidly-collapsing under the subhuman, murderous muslim/islamic riots (muslim Brotherhood) and rule ("arab Spring"), with world crude oil prices projected to hit $200+/bbl, or even higher into the $300-$400 range,
Just Google "survival" and see what comes-up. Damned-near everything you ever wanted to know how to prepare for this for-sure-coming "hellish holocaust", some of it in easy-to-download *.PDF format. Tens-of-thousands of websites are devoted to the topic of "survival". Do the same with "You Tube", and watch the thousands of videos. This is *NOT The Phony Y2K Crappola*; this is for real. I said numerous times that Y2K was a waste of time and money to prepare for, and that came true. I'm reading that "survival stores" are reporting a huge upswing in sales and preparations, and for good reason.
I'm also one of the very, very few who "predicted a 9-11 type event", 2 years and 8 months before it happened. Read down that "Journal" entry to the "Scary Stuff" section, and it was done by the subhuman, murderous muslim/islamic shit/filth/trash, NOT the US Gov't as some morons and idiots (Alex Jones & Co), have and still It's interesting you mention when an old paradigm dies and a new one takes its place. There are people who are still connected to the old one and can't conceive of life without that old paradigm. I think you saw that in the Great Depression. A lot of people never recovered from it because once that hit it was the end of their lives. claim. Need I say more about those certifiable and murderous, subhuman muslim/islamist wackos who are determined to kill all of us Proud Infidels?
Am I an "conspiracy alarmist" or one of those "crazed survivalists", sequestered in a Montana, Idaho, Utah or Wyoming compound or bunker? Not hardly; I'm simply in mid-State Pennsylvania, an Eagle Scout, Class of November 23rd, 1963 – youngest ever Eagle Scout in American History, at 12 years old – Order Of The Arrow/ Vigil Honor, and our BSA Motto was then, and still is now, "Be Prepared". Need I say any more?
Forget all of the "buy gold and silver" bullshit commercials; buy "brass and lead" for your guns. They're a far, far superior investment, IMO. Ammo is truly a "fungible" item; gold & silver aren't at all. They may be "intrinsic", but they're utterly-useless in a collapsing/collapsed society or world. Do the requisite research, as I've done. 'Nuff said on that subject.
BTW, how are you stocked-up for incandescent light bulbs? Within 4 weeks, manufacturing and using 100w incandescent will become "a crime", thanks to stupid-assed, liberal moron chimp, shit-for-brains, George W Bush & Co, in 2007. You'll be forced, under penalty-of-law, to use the very expensive,
This government's ***CRIMINALLY NUTS***, in trying to regulate our use of anything and everything! It's fascism, socialism, Leninism and communism, dammit, and it won't stand! Where is that in The US Constitution? The US Government isn't empowered to force us to do or buy anything, and has overstepped its legal authority in The ENUMERATED Commerce Clause. The Commerce Clause is quite specifically an enumerated power listed in the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3). The Contemporary Commerce Clause debate, When "decided by the SCOTUS in the Summer of 2012", will cause CWIII, if upheld. Stockpile NOW, because TSHTF before/during/after the November General Election!
Gold is NOT the way to go; lead and brass (aka ammo) ARE. Mark my words!

As a result they're going to go through the absolute most disgusting inhumanity that I think any American has ever seen as they go through this anger phase – and it's going to result in riots, and starvation and bloodshed. It has to happen. You don't have people's life savings disappear and people become desperate, and not have that happen. coming "Race War" plan.
We are *at war with Iran*; no doubt about it. Get used to it. And shit-for-brains, racist, commie, lowlife scumbag Barry "F•ck America!" Obama (TRAITOR-IL) has politely "asked" for our formerly Top Secret RQ-170 Sentinel Drone "to be returned". What a dumbf•ck Obama is! He should be charged, tried and imprisoned for *treason*, IMO.
I've been saying, for the past 2-3 years, that no one should buy any gold or silver; it's worthless crap if TSHTF (The Shit Hits The Fan). Instead, buy guns and ammo; they're a far, far better investment, IMO. Any questions?
Uh-oh, it's beginning to happen in Europe. Better get ready for it to come over here, soon, as The Fed f•cks America, once again. Time to abolish The Fed and its corrupt, criminal influence on America's economy!

If you were in an area heavily-affected by Sandy, you might have seen some looters running rampant. IMO, they should be shot on sight, not arrested. KILL ALL OF THE LOOTERS!
Obama: "Entrepreneurs Don't Build Businesses"
"Last week, President Barack Obama delivered some telling remarks to a fire station full of people in Roanoke, Virginia. I'll save you the trouble of reading the (long and uninspired) speech and provide you with the most interesting part:
"If you've got a business – you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." – President Barack Obama, July 13th, 2012.
It would be easy to respond with something along the lines of, "Somebody else made that happen? Who? Who magically imagined the product or service, started the business, built it up, and created the jobs? Who was it? The tooth fairy?" And to some extent, President Obama's statement is so ridiculous as to merit that sort of quick, flippant response.
(Here's the video of that loony remark.)
However, he's not entirely wrong. This reminds me of an argument that Massachusetts Senate Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren would probably make. If he's talking about a mid-sized or large business, where an entrepreneur has hired additional employees, then at that point the business's success isn't purely that of its founder.
Employees add value to a business through work and ideas. That's why you hire employees, after all. Steve Jobs didn't invent every last detail of the phones, computers, and tablets to come out of Apple over the last decade. There were engineers working on those products who developed them. So, employees help entrepreneurs to build their business. "Somebody else" did indeed play a part in making that happen.
But what makes the president's remarks so inane is the totality of what he's saying. He's not saying that entrepreneurs and employees work together to build a business. It's not a collaborative effort. It's all thanks to the employees. Usually, I can understand the way the president's mind works on most issues by examining it through a pragmatic, liberal, or progressive framework. This one baffles me.
As I explained, I can see that he has some of a point, but he's still just obviously wrong on the broader point. Sure, the employees help to build the business, but the business itself wouldn't exist without the entrepreneur. So, to say to entrepreneurs and to business owners, "...you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen," is just wrong. It's silly. They did build that by setting the foundation for the business.
Entrepreneurs are almost always the hardest workers in their business. They work a simply insane number of hours to get their idea off the ground. If they succeed (and they face a tremendous risk if they don't), then they'll start to grow and to hire employees to help. Honestly, if I were an entrepreneur and I read those remarks by the president, I would be furious. It's a tremendous insult to the true job-creators in America, entrepreneurs.
In the context of a long, somewhat rambling campaign speech that touched on every issue under the sun, it may seem as though I'm over-exaggerating the importance of a minor thing he said. But President Obama isn't a stupid man, or even one who makes off-the-cuff remarks he doesn't really mean. He's a very smart man, and he meant what he said.
When the most important issues for most Americans are economic growth and job creation, I believe it's essential to know exactly where both candidates stand on the importance of entrepreneurs. Yesterday, we learned that President Obama believes that entrepreneurs don't build businesses. Ultimately, they're irrelevant. Take that for what you will." ©Principles and Policy, July 14, 2012
Things Which Make Your Head Explode
Ever heard of Gary/Chicago International Airport? Neither has almost anyone else, but tens-of-millions of Taxpayers' dollars are spent on keep it open, for ONE (1) FLIGHT PER WEEK. One flight per week. No wonder America's in financial trouble.
Meghan McCain = dumbass, drunken sot, lardass, liberal, mentally-ill, fat, idiotic, dung-addicted, moronic, lowlife, turd-sucking, bloated, piece-of-shit bitch. (And I'm being nice to that ignorant sweathog, here...)
Here's another reason why America is f•cked-up: "An Orange County woman (PETA) has asked the city of Irvine to erect a sign honoring hundreds of truck crash victims – who were fish." IMO, the woman needs a sign, declaring: "I;m a raving lunatic nutcase; stay away from me"!
HEADLINE: "Connecticut mayor claims state's largest city 'shortchanged' by utility company in wake of Sandy". Dumbass, moron, drunk, wife-beater, pedophile, liberal-demokkkRAT asswipe Bridgeport Mayor Bill "The Crybaby" Finch, is truly mentally-ill. Bridgeport is a sewer and a shithole. Of course, it's being "shortchanged" and ignored, you douchebag. FUBF!
