At that Moment in Time

I am sitting here watching Banister throw a nice 1 run game through the 5th. It has kind of been nice watching them be “in” games again and have Soria to close the deal when they are up. At any rate I do see progress in this team. Naturally I jump back and forth between Family Guy on TBS and the RSN. We have one large issue with this set up. I get stuck watching the FG and not the game.
I have been hooked on several TV shows over the years. I have watched MASH, Cheers, The Simpson, Seinfeld, 2 & ½ Men and on. Now there are only two real shows that will/have stood the test of time. Seinfeld will always be at the top of my list. Yet we are blessed again to have a show that is legendary and great. Family Guy is able to make fun of every single race, handicap, religion etc. They find a way for me and my sick sense of humor to enjoy all of the non-PC things that I love.
If you aren’t a current fan I suggest you chase this opportunity. It is on every night on re-runs and of course on FOX Sundays. You can always catch it at www.hulu.com. I would also suggest you check out Seth McFarlane’s pet project www.sethcomedy.com. You might want to check out a few other shows running now or shortly: HBO: Hung, True Blood, and Entourage. You might also check out Nurse Jackie.

Health Care

We as Americans face a grave danger. What could be so grave you ask? The federal government wants to run a portion or all of our medical insurance and management. President Obama is pushing for it and people in this country actually think it is a good idea. I am not going to write 10,000 words as to why we should not do this. I am going to give you just a few items to consider.
-People in Canada drive to our country to pay out of pocket for services.
-People in the UK have a slight problem. The government demands that no one stay in the waiting room for more than four hours. Because of socialized medicine, you instead wait in the ambulance outside the hospital to circumvent that issue.
-Every single person in this country is able to get help if they show up at the emergency room.
Just think about these three items. Do yourself a favor and do some research. Learn what this is really about and write your representatives in the senate and house. Do not allow this mistake to occur.

RANTS

I just want to catch up a few items that have been on my mind in the past few days.

It is quite apparent that Kobe and the Lakers are going to win the NBA finals. They are just a more complete team and Lamar Odem has come to play. What is amusing is Kobe and his antics. He has said over and over that winning a title without the aid of Shaq is not important to him. That is all well and good but he knows and we all know and he knows we know that he wants it real bad without Shaq. There is nothing wrong with that. He is working harder and becoming a better leader with each game. However the “Kobe Face” is out of control. He has been so conscious his whole career of how the media views him and he desire to give a signature look or pose. Since day one he has mimicked Jordan. Someone must have told him that it is time to be his own man. Because of this he has abandoned his Jordan want to be antics and moved to the “Kobe Face”. It will be just a few short years before we mock this look.

Speaking of basketball and laughing at the expense of others. ….Have you had a chance to see the Memphis basketball program as of late? We are up to two players (Rose and Dozier) with suspect SAT scores and the brother of Rose not paying for a couple of rides he took on the chartered plane. At this point Coach Cal has yet to be accused of any wrong doing. Memo to Kentucky: Good luck with that dirtbag! The greatness of the internet did grant us this gem in honor of Cal’s work. A nice video and song set to the RHCP.

Finally we got good news from our President this week. He finally found a country we do not have to apologize to after any action. He did not apologize to Germany or the Nazis for WWII. After his repeated apologizing to the world and certain religious groups, I fully expected him to apologize to the Germans over the whole WWII mess at the D-Day ceremonies last week. Well played POB!

Young Con Anthem

I ran across this You Tube video via Fox News. It is called the "Young Con Anthem" and I like it. On any other day of the week you can pencil me in for the last guy to watch a rap video. Yet, these young men sing to my heart. Take a quick minute and check it out, I am sure you will be happy you did.




Lyrics:

Serious C:
“Yo this ones for all the young conservatives.
I rep the Northeast and I’m still a young con,
Let your voice release, you don't have to be obamatrons.
I debate any poser who don't shoot straight,
Government spending needs to deflate,
Your ideas are lightweight,
Ya careers in checkmate
I frustrate. I increase the pulse rate
I hate when,
government dictatin, makin, statements, bout how to be a merchant,
How to run a restaurant, how to lay the pavement
Bailout a business, but can't protect an infant
Deficiencies are blatant, young con treatment
I stand one man, outnumbered at my college
Thank you Miss Cali for reminding us of marriage
Can't support abortion, and call yourself a Christian
I support life, you're a puzzled politician
Terrorists were imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay,
Now they're in our neighborhoods, planning out doomsday
No such thing as utopia,
no government can control ya, baby ya,
Reap the benefits hard work, self reliant
Listen to Stiltz, my dude’s a lyrical giant
Yo Stiltz... make it two time... please”

Stiltz:
“I'm 6'9 head and shoulder above the rest
Liberals playin checkers, I'm playin chess
My conservative view is drill baby drill
You can say you hate me but
I'm praying for you still
My dislike for thee most def is not hyperbole
Taxes are the subject and I will spit them verbally
I'm just livin life a conservative philosophy
Sorry Hilary not a right wing conspiracy
We need more women with intellectual integrity
I'm talkin Megyn Kelly not Nancy Pelosi
My main motto is you best work hard
It's not the hand you were given, but how you lay down your cards
I don't speak lies but I spit the facts
28% the new capital gains tax
Porkulus bill lacks a few stats
The more money we spend, the more mine is worth Jack
The Bible says we're a people under God,
Usin radar for radical Jihad
AIG was hooked up by Chris Dodd
A classy gift ain't an Ipod
The standards of my crew ain’t republicans dude
I'm reppin Jesus Christ and conservative views
Study history and true conservative moves
Every single time they refuse to lose
I’m starting to see a modern day Jimmy Carter
When really nothin but a Reagan era starter”

Serious C:
“Yo, We americans son
Hit ya with some knowledge
The movement has begun
Everyone can succeed
Because our soldiers bleed, for us
I said it in the verse,
now I'll say it in the chorus”

Stiltz:
“We young conservatives son
Hard work is our motto
The movement has begun
EVERYONE can succeed cause our soldiers bleed, daily
My views are rock solid, no chance you can break me”

Serious C:
“Phase me, make me, into something that ain’t me
Serious c... can’t nobody shake me
great like the Gatsby, poppin posers like acne
Don't matter if your gay, straight, Christian or Muslim
There's one thing we all hate, called socialism.
It's loathsome, and America ain’t the outcome,
Raise taxes on the people,
And you’re gonna feel symptoms, problems
I gotta message for a young con:
superman that socialism,
waterboard that terrorism”

Stiltz:
“I fulfill the role that's inherently mine
Teaching politics through my rap and my rhyme
I'm signing off this track with a question in mind
How will this country get its precious change in time?
Three things taught me conservative love:
Jesus, Ronald Reagan, plus Atlas Shrugged
Saving our nation from inflation devastation
On my hands and my knees praying for salvation”

Serious C:
“Yo, We americans son
Hit ya with some knowledge
The movement has begun
Everyone can succeed
Because our soldiers bleed, for us
I said it in the verse,
now I'll say it in the chorus”

Stiltz:
“We young conservatives son
Hard work is our motto
The movement has begun
EVERYONE can succeed cause our soldiers bleed, daily
My views are rock solid, no chance you can break me”
