Have fun, sir

This man is a complete joke. You spend time singing and becoming the 7th inning God Bless America man at Yankee Stadium for so long and then you piss off some Jews, move to Boston and start all over again? This cannot be serious.

In a press conference, Tynan stated “I know you’ve known my record from the other side. But whether you wear pinstripes or red socks, you sing a song about a great country, and that is what it’s really about.”

First of all, it does matter if you wear a sox uniform or pinstripes. Second of all, I’m pretty sure this country is headed to shit.

Keith made a very good point. Tynan started singing God Bless America at Yankee Stadium in 2001. He got “banned” in 2009. What didn’t happen while he was still allowed to sing there? You do the math. Cya!

For what it’s worth. Don’t even bother checking it because it will be dead wrong:

PS – just realized I left some brackets blank because I’m half dead so: Wisconsin over Cornell, New Mexico over West Va. and Kentucky over all of that.

Soda Tax?

No, tell Albany to worry about more important things

You know what pisses me off? Useless taxes. The Alliance for Healthier New York needs to stop wasting taxpayer money on their moronic ad campaign that is lobbying Albany to pass a fat tax.

If I want to ruin my health and eat and drink things that are bad for me all the time, that is my problem. I am fully aware that soda ruins my health. Why should I be forced to pay a penny per ounce tax because some stupid organization is trying to make people healthier? If people can’t keep themselves healthy, that is their problem.

Newsflash: Raising taxes will not prevent all these porkers from drinking their soda. It’s just an inconvenience. This idiot organization thinks that it will cause a 10% decrease in soda consumption? Absolutely not. Don’t these people understand that all of these extra taxes actually ruin the economy more?

By the way, happy Pi day! Go stuff your face with fattening pies you unhealthy fool.

Edit: Okay, so according to an article in the New York Times, an increase in soda price makes people healthier. Give me a break… It’s your decision just stop taxing me

Broadband.gov? Seriously?

Has America gotten that low? For the past year and a half, this dude Obama has been making whateverthehellhewants.gov websites. Since he took office, I’ve never seen so many bullshit.gov websites: change.gov, export.gov, recovery.gov, bitchasstrick.gov, ready.gov, healthreform.gov, federalreserve.gov (they’ve got some nerve – the federal reserve is a bullshit institution and might as well be a private company -should be federalreserve.com), onguardonline.gov (the hell is that?), flu.gov (the US government controls the flu virus now and needs an official website?), nutrition.gov, werebackruptasshit.gov, chinaownsourballs.gov, census.gov, usajobs.gov, mymother.gov, students.gov, regulations.gov etc etc etc. Seriously? Want to give me a job admining these sites for like $200,000 a year? Yeah you do.

So I came across broadband.gov which spells out the nation’s plan for getting high speed internet to everyone in the country. Ain’t happening.

The story is, the majority of this country consists of a bunch of hick assed corn farmers. Half of this country (*cough, the backwards ass south, cough*) have two wires going to the houses: a power line and a copper phone line, which hasn’t changed since . We are beyond bankrupt and absolutely have no means to install fiber backbones and all that crap to these cotton towns.

So I go on broadband.gov and they offer a speed test. Apparently, you need you enter your address in order to do so. What the hell is this? Nazi rule? Why do they want my address in order to do a speed test. Yes, yes I know… They’re trying to see where the internet is good and where it sucks… Yatta Yatta. But that’s nonsense – I’m not giving my address away to do a simple speed test.

F these government sites. Want to check your speed? Go to speedtest.net. Capitalism at its finest. What a waste of taxpayer money, creating a service that already exists for free.
