Barack Obama hates white people

Remember after Katrina, less than a day after the storm blew through and devastated New Orleans, and left-wing blogs and pundits were screaming about "the incompetence of the Bush Administration"to respond to the needs of the victims? Remember Kanye West saying on national tv, "George Bush hates black people"? Remember how this was proof positive of the eeevil of Bush and the GOP?

My, how times change.

A couple of days ago, a massive ice storm blew through the Midwest, cutting off power and heat to millions of mostly poor, rural white folks in Kentucky and Tennessee. Where has President Messiah been? Trying to push through his irresponsible, $1.2 trillion boondoggle of a "stimulus" (really, a gift bag to Democratic constituencies).

President Messiah has absolutely failed in his responsibilties to the American people:

MARION, Ky. – In some parts of rural Kentucky, they're getting water the old-fashioned way — with pails from a creek. There's not room for one more sleeping bag on the shelter floor. The creative are flushing their toilets with melted snow.

At least 42 people have died, including 11 in Kentucky, and conditions are worsening in many places days after an ice storm knocked out power to 1.3 million customers from the Plains to the East Coast. About a million people were still without electric Friday, and with no hope that the lights will come back on soon, small communities are frantically struggling to help their residents.

One county put it bluntly: It can't.

"We're asking people to pack a suitcase and head south and find a motel if they have the means, because we can't service everybody in our shelter," said Crittenden County Judge-Executive Fred Brown, who oversees about 9,000 people, many of whom are sleeping in the town's elementary school.

Local officials were growing angry with what they said was a lack of help from the state and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. In Grayson County, about 80 miles southwest of Louisville, Emergency Management Director Randell Smith said the 25 National Guardsmen who have responded have no chain saws to clear fallen trees.

"We've got people out in some areas we haven't even visited yet," Smith said. "We don't even know that they're alive."

Smith said FEMA has been a no-show so far.

"I'm not saying we can't handle it; we'll handle it," Smith said. "But it would have made life a lot easier" if FEMA had reached the county sooner, he said.

...

Meanwhile, the death toll was rising: Since the storm began Monday, the weather is suspected in at least 11 deaths in Kentucky, nine more in Arkansas, six each in Texas and Missouri, three in Virginia, two each in Oklahoma, Indiana and West Virginia and one in Ohio, with most of them blamed on hypothermia, traffic accidents and carbon monoxide poisoning from generators.

Among the latest deaths reported were those of a man in his 60s, a woman in her 50s and a woman in her 40s who were found in a southwestern Louisville home Friday. The younger woman was found in bed; the other two were found in the garage, along with a generator, police spokesman Phil Russell said.

The fight to return power to Kentucky and other areas affected by the ice storm is difficult because of the sheer number of outages, but also because of the ice itself. Crews have joined the effort from around the country, but more than a half-million homes and businesses were still out in Kentucky on Friday, along with roughly 78,000 in Missouri and 284,000 in Arkansas. Thousands more were still in the dark in Ohio, Tennessee and West Virginia.

So, this can only mean one thing: Barack Obama hates white people.

And where is the main stream media on this? Oh yeah, lusting after the Lightbringer, the Man who can save our souls.

It's gonna be a long four years.

Why I'm glad Obama is now president

Sounds weird for a libertarian to be saying those things, right? Well, let me tell you, it's even weirder for me to write them. Yes, I voted for McCain, but today, the day after the "historic" inauguration (aren't they all historic?) I'm starting to see things that I will like about having Obama in the White House.

1. I don't have to defend John McCain. After spending close to the last 8 years defending Bush, it's a relief to be a member of the opposition. It's so subversive. Plus, I know that McCain would be doing plenty of things that Obama plans to do (like the stimulus, closing Gitmo, amnesty) that I thoroughly disagree with. Thus, I can say, "Hey, I didn't vote for him. He's your guy, so go ahead and defend this unpopular decision."

2. Obamamaniacs DO have to defend Obama. This fits in with #1. I have seen too many young hipster democrats talking as if their shit doesn't stink these last 8 years, and now they have to put up or shut up. It'll be fun to see them twist themselves into knots now that dissent isn't patriotic, The Man is black, and they have to acknowledge that America truly is a great country.

3. The end of the anti-war opposition. These people do nothing more than piss me off. So, I'm just supposed to sit down and iron out the differences with people who have sworn to destroy me and my nation? The idiocy, the moral preening of the anti-war Left knows no bounds. Thankfully, when a Democrat is running a war, the protests are very small and unnoticed. Which, obviously, shows us the true nature of the protesters- they're not anti-war, they're anti-Republican. It'll be tough for these pinheads like Medea Benjamin to get anyone to scream about Afghanistan or Iraq when the Messiah is leading the charge.

4. Racial grievance mongering is on its way out. No matter what Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and their ilk might say, it'll be hard to press the race button anymore now that a black man is the Leader of the Free World. What the election of Obama does is show minorities that you can rise in this country if you have the ambition, grit, and determination to move yourself up the ladder. Believe it or not, racism doesn't control this country, not any more.

5. People will stop believing in Big Government. Look, I'm prepared that the American people are ready to start having more government control over their lives and wallets. But this is a paradox for the True Believers in Government; America, and the American dream, is about having less government than more, and we as a people have a tendency to turn back to freedom once we get a taste of that big ol' government cheese. So, go ahead Dems, pass your legislation regarding oil and gas consumption, restaurant menus, recycling programs, etc. Watch it all blow up in your face.

6. We can finally clean house in the GOP. Enough with these dipshit "compassionate conservatives". Conservative thinking IS compassionate, if you allow people to be adults and make up their own minds. Also, now that we're in the minority, there's less chance of corruption and graft charges for the GOP. Look, the Democrats are the champions of the corruption game; they can't help themselves. Let them do what's natural for them, get leaders in place who look like Eliot Ness, and watch the GOP clean up in 2, 4, or 8 years. And then govern like it. No more Tom Delays!

In the end, I do wish our new president good luck in his new gig. I can only hope that constantly campaigning for the next, higher office really does prepare one for as tough a job as the US Presidency (as during the campaign he assured us it was). It's all our country, and I hope he does the nation proud.

But I'm not holding my breath.

Monday nights

So, I've picked up the Monday night shift, due to the fact that one of our door guys is an anarchist and is trying to cut working out of his life. (I'm not kidding.) Count this as one of the weirder Mondays. I had two birthday parties come in, one of which was a guy's 21st. (The other had a very eclectic mix of people, and the girls were pretty damn hot.) In any case, the 21st birthday guy ended up puking into a garbage can, after which I had to ask the party to take him home. Look, like fighting, another rule for bar patrons is that if you puke in the bar, you need to go home.

Now, I can understand a person celebrating their 21st and throwing up. It happened to me, although I waited until I got home to do it. However, the second person to puke tonight was a 40-something douchebag who was drinking Wild Turkey on the rocks.

Seriously. You're 40, and you're still throwing up in the bar? Plus, this idiot was trying way too hard to pick up girls who were A- half his age and B- completely not interested. What a winner. At least he didn't throw up on the bar (that's a relief), but he did do it in the fucking urinal. Again, just so I'm clear, he threw up in the urinal.

Ugh.

How fucking sick are you to plant your face right where complete strangers have been pissing for the last twelve hours and heave chunks? Now, getting sick in your own toilet is one thing, because it's your own toilet, but getting sick in a public bathroom with your face in the fucking urinal HAS to be one of the low points of anyone's life. I would think that is up there with waking up with a dead hooker, pissing yourself on a dance floor, or gambling your children's college fund away. What kind of life does a person have to lead to drink themselves sick into a urinal?

In any case, the douchebag came out after conducting his business, and I told him, look, I can't have people throwing up in the bar, so you have to leave. So he smiled at me, lifted his almost full glass, and chugged down the entire thing of Wild Turkey. Wow. I would think that wouldn't help calm down an upset stomach, but there it is.

Needless to say, cleaning it up wasn't the highlight of my night. But, I got through it without tossing my own cookies (remarkably enough, cause it was fucking horrible). So ended my first Monday night. Let's hope that the others aren't quite so bad.

National Championship Game

OU vs. Florida, game starts at 7. Gonna be interesting to see if OU can roll with Tebow. Let's face it- while I hate the Gators (or any Florida team), and I'd like to see OU win, it'll be tough out there. My final prediction? Florida 45, OU 42. It'll be a shootout, and I don't think either defense really brings it.

Now, where do I go to watch it? Hmmm...

End of the Holidays roundup

The last Sunday of the two week, three weekend holidays of 2008. Let me tell you, I'm glad it's over. It's not that I hate the holidays; far from it. I just get tired of them after a while. Besides, we can't get through winter without getting through the holidays, can we?

I think I've recovered finally from my New Year's Day celebrating. Since I didn't really drink on the Eve, due to my working that night, I decided to party out on the Day. I didn't start getting over that until today.

I watched the Vikings-Eagles game today. Bwahahaha! My loathing for the Vikings is long and legendary, matched only by my loathing for the Cubs. Anytime either one of those teams lose it makes my day. For example, in 1998-99, when the Queens had that 15-1 season, they were the team of destiny to win it all, and they lost the NFC Championship Game to the Atlanta Falcons on a field goal in OT, I was cheering as though I was born in the ATL. Likewise, the Steve Bartman Game and the aftermath was more proof of the Cubs' Loser Status, while for me, watching them melt down was unmitigated joy. So watching the Vikings lose, badly, to an Eagles team that snuck its way into the playoffs was sweet.

(Before you start embarrassing yourselves, Cubs and Queens fans, no, neither the Pack nor the Brewers went very far this year [actually, the Brew Crew won more games in the postseason than the Cubs] but at least the Brewers have been to the Series in our lifetimes, plus the Milwaukee Braves actually won the Series against the Yanks in '57. As for the Packers, they have the second most Hall of Famers, the most World Championships, a venue that is the very soul of pro football, and loyal fans from around the globe. Suck it.)
