Moron number 1

Nathan Alan Winkler (no relation to Fonzie)

This rocket scientist chased Michelle Fernandez around Tampa for 4 miles and tried to run her off the road while holding up an anti-Bush sign, police said.
He was freed on $2,000 bail early Wednesday on a charge of aggravated stalking, which carries up to five years in prison.

Moron number 2

Barry M. Seltzer (no relation to the water)

SARASOTA, Fla. — A motorist who told police he was exercising his "political expression" was jailed Wednesday on an aggravated assault charge alleging he tried to run down U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris and a group of re-election campaign supporters.
Witnesses told police a silver Cadillac sped through an intersection and hurtled onto a sidewalk, heading straight toward Harris before swerving at the last minute and driving off.

Guess how they found our second moron.

Witnesses gave the car's license plate number to police, and they tracked it to Barry M. Seltzer, 46, of Sarasota, a registered Democrat.

In the words of Michael Corleone, "I gotta come home to THIS !"

OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON AIRING OF TSUNAMI PARODY SONG

HOT97 regrets the airing of material that made light of a serious and tragic event. We apologize to our listeners and anyone who was offended.

Both HOT97's program director and Miss Jones issued on-air apologies on Monday stating that the material was offensive and should not have been aired.

HOT97 takes pride in its community involvement and in the last few weeks has joined with broadcasters nationwide to raise money for victims of the Tsunami. Our relief effort will result in a substantial cash donation.

So here is the back story, some rap station in NY played a parody song regarding the Tsunami.

Listen to the song here.

And apparently all hell broke loose, I think what upsets me the most is that the damn song is not even that funny, no its horrible, Jesus its horrible. They should be fired for just producing a shitty song.

As a fan of Opie and Anthony, I know the cringe feeling of knowing that you are listening to something that could very well be end of a career.

As far as the nonsense of the other side of the coin, the exploitation of this by various New York congressmen calling for federal fines, they are missing the point.

The song itself was crude and in bad taste but it DID NOT break any FCC guidelines regarding brodcast standards. In case your wondering, hate speach IS covered under our First Amendment.

As much as it offends, calling people chinks is A OK.

Powell To Resign As Head Of FCC

2005-01-25T01:49:00.000-05:00

The agency under Powell became a cultural force, responding to an unparalleled number of complaints about the coarsening nature of radio and television broadcasts with a fusillade of proposed fines -- more than $8.5 million during his four years as chairman.

I never really understood the hyprocacy of Michael Powell, Oprah Winfrey could have 13 year old girls on her show talking about giving out blow jobs, but radio personalities like Opie and Anthony and Stern were fined excessive amounts for saying things like, "I want to f her in the a"

Michael Moore's Bodyguard Arrested on Airport Gun Charge

NEW YORK — Filmmaker Michael Moore's bodyguard was arrested for carrying an unlicensed weapon in New York's JFK airport Wednesday night.

Police took Patrick Burke, who says Moore employs him, into custody after he declared he was carrying a firearm at a ticket counter. Burke is licensed to carry a firearm in Florida and California, but not in New York. Burke was taken to Queens central booking and could potentially be charged with a felony for the incident.

Moore's 2003 Oscar-winning film "Bowling for Columbine" criticizes what Moore calls America's "culture of fear" and its obsession with guns.

Yup, he's a dick.

The Indonesian government yesterday showed its appreciation to U.S. soldiers who have been risking their lives helping tsunami victims by ordering them to get out of the country by the end of March.

"Three months are enough," Vice President Jusuf Kalla told the official Antara news agency. "In fact, the sooner [they leave] the better."

This is why I don't give money to any of these so called charities, I think I am just as caring and giving as the next person, but there are more pressing domestic issues that need to be dealt with.

Yeah, the Tsunami was horrible, Yeah the lost of life was insurmountable, Yeah the video was pretty damn cool to look at but to open my wallet to help, Hahh fuck that.

Do you know why there was no lost of livestock? Because cows and horses don't sit on the beach with a camcorder going, "Hey, thats a big fucking wave."

Why is it that when the shit hits the fan all of these fucked up ass backwards third world piece of shit countries turn to us first for a hand out?

I'm waiting for "Tsunami Aid" at Giants Stadium with Bruce Springsteen, Tracy Chapman (Bet you're wondering where the hell she and her fast car have been) and some sort of half assed british rock band. And you know what, I won't be going to that either.

So to the ungratefull Indonesian goverment, next time when the big wave comes, duck, you bunch of useless pricks.

Myopic Zeal

2005-01-10T19:27:00.000-05:00

NEW YORK (Reuters) - CBS News fired four employees on Monday after an independent report critical of legendary anchor Dan Rather found a "myopic zeal" led the network to disregard basic journalism principles when it aired a faulty story on President Bush's military service record.

The panel was convened after a Sept. 8, 2004, report by Rather on the "60 Minutes II" news program claiming Bush won special treatment in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War. It found CBS failed to determine the accuracy of key documents used in the report.

CBS then waged a "strident" defense rather than probe the heart of the matter, it said. It allowed the same staff who produced the original report to produce follow-ups, it said.

"These problems were caused primarily by a myopic zeal to be the first news organization to broadcast what was believed to be a new story ... and the rigid and blind defense of the segment after it aired despite numerous indications of its shortcomings," said the panel, headed by former U.S. Attorney General Dick Thornburgh and Louis Boccardi, retired head of the Associated Press.

Twelve days after the segment aired, CBS News retracted it and Rather apologized, saying they were duped by bogus documents. Rather, 73, later said he would step down as anchor on March 9, his 24th anniversary in the job.

Must suck to work for CBS right about now.

So Randy Johnson IS a dick.

2005-01-10T19:16:00.000-05:00

Randy Johnson got a little physical on the way to his New York Yankees physical. The Big Unit put his long right arm up to block a camera from WCBS-TV on Monday after he left his Manhattan hotel.

Johnson, who was accompanied by Yankees director of team security Jerry Laveroni, made contact with the camera, station spokeswoman Audrey Pass said.

"Get out of my face, that's all I ask," Johnson said, according to a video of what occurred, which was posted on the station's Web site.

"No cameras," Laveroni said.

"Don't get in my face," Johnson then said. "I don't care who you are. Don't get in my face."

"I'm just taking a picture," said the cameraman, identified by the station as Vinny Everett.

Responded Johnson: "Don't get in my face, and don't talk back to me, all right."

Don't talk to me? yeah nice way to endear yourself to us New Yorkers, I hope you break your wrist while tripping on a bucket of baseballs at spring training you dick.

Took a little break, watched tv, visited Philadelphia and in a very ironic moment, went to Constitution hall in Philly, and upon entering was met with a large sign.
"All bags are subject to search"

While handing the surly guard her bag, she made a comment on the irony of it, the guard didn't get it.

I hate the MSM with a passion, the same passion and distain I hold for some hippy freak who spouts shit about how his liberties are being violated because he is not free to be a dick.

The last few days we have been inundated with visual images of the catastrophe that overtook the Asian Islands and with all this, with the close to eighty thousand dead what do the headlines read?

12 Americans perish

Goddamn are we that selfish as a society that, that’s the best headline the media can come up with, and if I hear again about how some third rate underwear model survived the tsunami I will personally go to her house and drown the bitch myself.

And if I see another video of another fat ass tourist wheeling around his luggage with that, “Aw, shucks our vacation is ruined, ah… lets head back to L.A. and get some sushi” look, I will personally fly to LA and drown that fucker too after that C list underwear model, or maybe before depending on my itinerary and if the airlines don’t lose my luggage or cancel my flight because of some Microsoft windows meltdown or half the airline calling in sick.

No more “Miracle Baby” headlines, when the baby pictured is some Arian looking fucker, no more local news stories about how couple so and so from Long Island WERE supposed to be in Thailand but they missed their plane and how God saved them. NO God didn’t save you, your lazy ass kept hitting the snooze button, fuck god thank Toshiba.

I don’t want to read about all these dinky organizations that are trying to use this tragedy to generate revenue, when if you read the fine print you get some shit about how .0005 cents from every 100 dollars actually is going to Thailand, the rest is to cover the celebrity spokesperson and the company’s CEO’s salary. You want to donate money, give to the RED CROSS period.

What the fuck is next, commemorative snow globes? Look honey, shake it up, wee !! look at that tiny village get washed away, but you know this snow globe is filled with the actual water from the actual ocean that slammed into Thailand.

I don’t want to see that little 10:15 news teaser, “Can a tsunami hit New York” more at 11pm. The answer is NO a big fat fucking hairy NO, unless someone drops at least 10 thousand atomic bombs into the Atlantic in the same spot, or if a meteor hit, I can guarantee you, you’re going to be safe.

– a little computer humor, now go live your lives don’t worry about the killer tsunami play with your kids, get drunk, piss of your neighbor, and have a happy New Year.

Tidal Waves and Tsunami's

2004-12-27T14:33:00.000-05:00

Tsunami is a Japanese word with the English translation, "harbor wave." Represented by two characters, the top character, "tsu," means harbor, while the bottom character, "nami," means "wave." In the past, tsunamis were sometimes referred to as "tidal waves" by the general public. The term "tidal wave" is a misnomer; although a tsunami's impact upon a coastline is dependent upon the tidal level at the time a tsunami strikes, tsunamis are unrelated to the tides.

Tides result from the imbalanced, extraterrestrial, gravitational influences of the moon,sun, and planets. The term "seismic sea wave" is also misleading. "Seismic" implies an earthquake-related generation mechanism, but a tsunami can also be caused by a nonseismic event, such as a landslide or meteorite impact.

Merry Christmas

2004-12-24T09:47:00.000-05:00

Merry Christmas everyone.

Ahh... It must be Christmas in Staten Island.

2004-12-21T16:23:00.000-05:00

For our non-New Yorkers, Staten Island is where New York City, since the 1930's accumlated the city's garbage. Everyonce in a while the residents are up in arms over the stench, which amuses me because if you're going to build a home I would think keeping it away from a dump would be one of it's key features.

Nevertheless, Staten Island is home to our more colorfull residents, think Mafia wannabee's and blue collar mechanics.

So when I read this, I wasn't suprised.

Preschool brawl gives Christmas spirit the heave-ho
A dispute over seats at an elementary school play erupts in a brawl that results in two arrests. Great Kills residents Venus Guerrieri, 59, and her 29-year-old son, Charles H. Balducci, are arrested on the grounds of St. Clare’s Preschool on Nelson Avenue in Great Kills after the disagreement escalates into violence that leaves one mom, the wife of a retired police officer, injured.

Poll shows U.S. views on Muslim-Americans

2004-12-17T23:49:00.000-05:00

Nearly half of those surveyed say some rights should be restricted.

A recent survey by Cornell University found that found 44 percent of Americans favor at least some restrictions on the civil liberties of Muslim Americans.

Ok, here is my list of people that should have their civil liberties restricted.
- Crazy hippy Hawk watchers
- Anyone who uses the words, "Bushilter" or "nazi" in everyday conversation.
- Anyone who is still bitching about the Kerry loss.
- Anyone who believes what is written in the New York Times is true.
- Fans of Dan Rather.
- The entire city of San Francisco.
- College kids who carry "End Capitalism now" signs while wearing their Gap shirts, Old Navy Pants and brand new Nike's. while downloading songs on their Ipod's.
- Anyone who's whole life is dedicated to watching the Scott Peterson trial.
- Anyone whose whole blog is a mess of get rid of Rumsfield stories cut and pasted from Salon.
- The entire staff of Salon.com
- The jerk off Met management that green lighted the Pedro Martinez trade.
- And finally, people that know me that say, “Season’s greetings” It’s fucking MERRY CHRISTMAS, asses, you know the birth of freaking Christ, the reason for the fucking holiday in the first place.

In the.. humm.. thats not too bright department.

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — Usama bin Laden take note: You wouldn't be safe in Costa Rica. A startled taxi driver shot and wounded a jokester wearing a plastic mask of the Al Qaeda leader, police said Tuesday.

Leonel Arias, 47, told police he was playing a practical joke by donning the Bin Laden mask, toting his pellet rifle and jumping out to scare drivers on a narrow street in his hometown, Carrizal de Alajuela (search), about 20 miles north of San Jose.

Now if that happend in the States, oh lordy, the driver would have been charged with some nonsence crime, the family of the shot man would be on CNN pleading that he didn't have to get shot because he always is playing some sort of practial joke. The man shot would have sued the cab company, the gun maker and the makers of the Bin-laden mask.

Oh yeah, and a bunch of dirty hippy freaks would have been waiting nearby to see that no Hawks were injured in this shooting.

Newark Airport Screeners Spot -- Then Lose -- Fake Bomb

NEWARK, N.J. -- Baggage screeners at Newark Liberty International Airport spotted -- and then lost -- a fake bomb planted in luggage by a supervisor during a training exercise.

Despite an hours-long search Tuesday night, the bag, containing a fake bomb complete with wires, a detonator and a clock, made it onto an Amsterdam-bound flight. It was recovered by airport security officials in Amsterdam when the flight landed several hours later.

AC Rawked.

2004-12-13T05:56:00.000-05:00

We had a blast in AC over the week, in the "I don't see, I don't know" department.

I was back in the room relaxing after a long day of conferences and there was a knock on the door, I really thought it was the hubby coming upstairs for some afternoon delight, but to my suprise it was a young man by the name of Javier.

Well Javier gave me his card and introduced himself as our host and that at the request of my husband he was to take me down to the shops to find some outfits to wear for dinner. Me being half a retard I said I don't have that kind of money to shop.

With this silly grin he said, no its on the casino compliments of the Borgata.

Holy shit, how much did my husband win or lose, I don't want to know, but the 3 dresses are really nice.

File this under.. DUH !!

Vegas crowd doesn't find George Carlin funny.

The guy lives off his "7 dirty words" bit, he hasn't said anything slightly amusing since 1978, but people still flock to his shows then leave dumbfounded. "In Vegas, you don't get the hardcore fans who follow what you do. It's like betting on a craps table. Am I gonna get a good audience or am I gonna get these dopes who wander in with a coupon, wearing short pants and scratching their nuts?"

Carlin blew his stack at the MGM Grand, which he says fired him because his act, which includes a 35-minute riff on suicide, had gotten "too dark."

All I know is that when I go to see a comedian, I want to feel depressed.

Santa Fight !!

2004-12-11T18:04:00.000-05:00

Speaking of fight club.

The world's biggest gathering of Santa Clauses has ended in a mass brawl.

CS spray and batons had to be used to break up the fighting Santas.

Some 4,200 people dressed as Father Christmas gathered in a small Welsh town for a charity festive fun run.

But it turned into festive fisticuffs after some of the Santas headed to the pub for a seasonal tipple.

The goodwill evaporated, to be replaced with around 30 Santas swapping punches.

Five St Nicks were nicked by police.

A Dyfed Powys Police spokeswoman said: "A very successful Santa Run day was spoilt by the drunken behaviour of a number of local individuals who managed to consume too much alcohol and became involved in a serious public order incident.

First rule of Santa fight club... Don't talk about Santa fight club.

Psstt.. (Part 2).. Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son.

Mayor Daley spares Chicago's Joe Sixpack tax increase on beer.

The mayor took a giant step Friday toward keeping alive his seven-year streak when he dropped a penny-a-sixpack tax on beer that had emerged as a symbolic thorn in the side of aldermen and the Joe Sixpacks they represent.

If you ever watched the movie "Fight Club" one lesson learned is that, "They always fuck with the soup."

Guess they don't have bootleg copies of that movie in the Ukrain.

VIENNA, Austria — Ukrainian presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko was poisoned with dioxin, doctors said Saturday, adding that the highly toxic chemical could have been put in the opposition leader's soup, producing the severe disfigurement and partial paralysis of his face.
