I am fired up and just need to fire this out there.. This is not or will never be a political blog for many reasons which I don't need to clarify for anyone out there but I will throw out my opinions because it will ease my anger (actually I am doing quite well since the country eggs this morning ) .. I am aware of issues but I am by no means unbiased when I approach them. On some issues I am very conservative. On other issues I am somewhat liberal. But I very rarely express my opinion in the hope that people will make there own decisions based on there own evaluation. We don't have a political system in this country.. We are forced to chose between two parties whose only goal is to get just enough support from the opposite party to win by a small percentage and gets the most cash from fundraisers. We have no real options for us .. We can throw our vote for someone that is independent but it is really a vote that accounts for a nothing. We have Coke and Pepsi for a political parties and frankly I find very few if any of either of the people in these parties a candidate for decent leadership. This topic just frustrates me to no end and I could expand on it but I think the political system in this country is not doing anything close to what the intent of when it was started. But here is what really get's me jacked.. I don't know if this started when Nixon or Clinton managed to make a mockery of the office they held but somehow in 2006 we have lost respect for the office. No matter how I feel about who is in that office or if I believe in what he/she is doing.. I still respect the position that he/she holds. We now have people writing articles in "highly respected" rags that refer to him as Mr. Bush or GW or whatever. No… That is not right... He is the president of the United States and should always be addressed as Mr. President or President Bush sorry but I just believe that even though you disagree with his politics he deserves the respect of the office he holds.. I guess I am old school but I am trying to show my kids how to respect people and themselves and we can't get writers to set aside there own personal agenda while writing or speaking to the masses to give the highest office in this country the respect it deserves..(I am a little hot on this)
Here is what takes the cake for me on any political issue.. Bruce,Dixie Chicks,etc… I don't care what you think about a given issue.. Shut up and sing… Oh because you are making more money than you can ever spend... I am supposed to think that validates you as a person of authority on anything.. No your not.. You made a lot of money because you are really talented musicians… (Bit of a stretch with Dixie Chicks) I hate this preaching that people now feel is appropriate.. Here is my point.. Yesterday I was forced to sit in a room to discuss the employee handbook and they brought in the exec/general counsel here. Sounds like a decent enough guy but in his short presentation he uses this opportunity to bring up the fact that "Bush" not our president or anything close to that when referring to him.. (hard to tell where he stands) Was rubbing the female German chancellors shoulders during some summit or whatever. Yes it was a bonehead move but instead of just telling the story he has to get all these new employees to agree with him as he says "well as you can tell I am not a fan of bush" or something close to that.. The point was is this you are dumb if you don't agree with me.. It is ok to shout out my political views to everyone in the hopes that my position will sway you personal position. That is what the heart of the issue is for me.. It is low hanging fruit it is too easy… It is wrong.. I guess I got this from my parents back in the day when I was pretty curious about who they voted for. They didn't tell me because they wanted me to form my own opinion.. Maybe I am wrong but I think that is the right approach.. (Easy Heavy taste the cheese still left on your chin.. breath in the roasted Red pepper smell on your breath.. ) Ok if you disagree holler out..
Vikings
Dwight Smif will be playing this week angry..(I just hope Steve Smif comes across the middle).. Chester needs to have the same game as last week he really impressed me with his fight.. (He hasn't started the Ted Brown move of backing into the line when there is nothing there.. I watched the game again..(pathetic) Steve Hutchinson is so dominant Seattle is going to miss that guy.. FatKinney and the rest of the behemoths out there should thank the Vikes and Hutchinson for the big money that the Lineman are going to start getting because he is showing why he is worth it..Matt Birk is a shell of himself.. He just is not very confident out there I think it will take a few weeks before he is even 80% of the guy that went to the Pro Bowl.. I think it will be another close game but if Smif doesn't play for Carolina they are going to have trouble getting points.. 17-14 Vikes.. I am going to the game so I am pretty pumped.. That might be because FT is making bloody Mary'ss,Brats,Chili and last but not least plenty of NewCastle..
Oh I believe the Vikings coach staff will choose to waste an enitre game to prove to Smoot that he needs to play in the Team Concept of a defense.. I didn't have a blog then but that really was the end of the Tice era for me….
Twins
The twins will not make the playoffs..(I hope this eases the pain for me I feel like if I keep telling myself they aren’t going to make it it will soften the pain when they don't) It won't so some quick thoughts.. If Rondell could get hot and stay there wow that makes the lineup a little more daunting… Phil Nevin we are gonna miss you umm maybe it is time to retire.. Mornosey he just keeps getting better I have never been more wrong on a guy.. The twins will pay dearly for the year he is having.. Please move Mauer to Left field or Third or something besides catcher this season is wearing him out he is 23 and he is tired and hitting less what makes them think he will be more effective with 5 season like this.. Hunter has lost 3 steps since his foot started to ailing but has been hitting a ton better.. He is going to have to if he plans on getting a decent contract for next year for Boston (it was a nice run). Punto is becoming an amazing defensive third basemen please start taking HGH or something so we can some power out of that position. Go Twins.. Thanks for entertaining me..
Bus
I was playing a soduko game on the bus.. (I know it is entertaing to watch A Dumb bald Headed guy work on a puzzle sort of like when you watch a bear trying to figure out how to open a can of cherries) But this person who apparently doesn't have the time to prepare himself for the bus rides he takes each day decides to start looking over my shoulder as I make futile atttempt to solve the puzzle. Well I am mad enough already but then when he starts nodding approval when I put in a number I came close to going over the edge but I was unsure that my sharpie would hold up when I rammed the end of it through his left pupil.. I quietly folded up the puzzle without finishing it and imagined why a person that has 15-20 minutes of each day where they could listen to music or read a book or the paper or whatever decides it would be more enjoyable to stare at the back of my head.. I guess that is why ASSCar is successful it doesn't take much for these people.. I wonder who Jeff Gordon is going to Vote for..
Don't Hate I have enough of it for everyone..
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHeeeeeeeavvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvyyyyyyyyyyyyD
