Jersey shore enough!!

Welcome to the modern circus where the only purpose of the circus animals is getting laid.
The MTV circus known as "Jersey shore" is a truer-than-life look at the real assholes that find their way to the Jersey shore each and every year.
If you haven’t been privy to the migration and mating rituals of a thoroughbred guido, I can't tell you you're missing much, but turn on MTV Thursdays at 10 p.m. and you'll understand why it sucks to be at the Jersey shore from May to October.
Guidos are not a rare bred in any sense or definition.
Guidos are young males and females who are part of an Italian subculture punctuated by wife-beater T-shirt wearing guys who pump their fists into the air to express their approval, disapproval, disdain or jubilation with any current series of events that are relevant in their lives.
The female guido is recognized immediately by her annoying voice, over-the-top hair style and massive accessorizing, referred to in normal cultures as wearing jewelry.
All guidos possess a propped up ego, self-indulgence, added to a healthy supply of hair gel, big earring and lip gloss  --  and that’s just the needs of the guys.
MTVs latest attempt at reality TV is the show Jersey Shore , which  treats viewers to the mating rituals and everyday activities of  eight hand-selected guidos who are forced to live, breathe, work and play together at a rental home on the boardwalk at Seaside Heights.
The show started out with one guido male declaring his unabashed pride for being a guido.
"I was born and raised a guido," he proudly says before he starts packing up what looks like a case of hair gel tubes.
Self-centered and attention-demanding Nicole (aka Snookie) is the Fatal Instinct chick of the show. The first night she tossed off her tank top and jumped in the hot tub in her bra and thong only to reveal that girl is nowhere near as hot as she thinks she is. Yuck!! But when she woke up in the morning and started puking before heading off to their first day on the job at a local T-shirt and souvenir shop on the broadwalk, her fellow guidos abandon her as she is face down in the toilet.
Snookie threw a temper tantrum towards the end of the first episode because nobody was giving her the attention she so desperately needed. Go figure!
At the outset of the show, Snookie declared, "My ultimate dream is to find a hot, juiced guido in Jersey and live out my life."
I guess, you gotta follow that dream, wherever that dream may be.
The show is exactly what kids are all about today  --  eating, sleeping, hooking up, repeat.
The saddest part of Jersey Shore is that it is so dead on in its depiction of today's youth these eight guidos truly are just caricatures of their own pathetic existences.
It was really hilarious to watch the guido girls get jealous because the guido boys were doing what guido boys do when it comes to any girl(s) jumping into a hot tub naked.
Boys will be boys, but guidos will always be guidos.
Let's get some perspective here.
The guidos of Jersey Shore are no different than the guidos who have been flocking to the Jersey shore since the 1950s.
Guidos from South Philly have been migrating to areas from Long Beach Island to Wildwood in their vain attempt to make sure the world knew just how special they really are when placed side-by-side with non-guidos.
Guidos from Staten Island have made life on the Jersey shore from Seaside Heights to Sandy Hook their own summertime playground. Just ask the mayor of Belmar who has said how much he appreciates all the guidos do for his resort town during those hot summer months.
Burger Bits were the Trenton version of guidos offered up on the menu in Seaside and LBI oh so many years ago. Burger Bits were guidos who came under the Burger Bit moniker because they almost always came from the Chambersburg section of Trenton, better known as The Burg. They were a gentle mix of South Philly and Staten Island guidos all rolled into one great big mess.
Believe guidos are not a new aberration at the Jersey shore. In fact, guidos have been flocking to the Jersey shore for so long they may be entitled to a local moniker by default. (But don’t tell that to the people at bennygohome.com ).
Guidos have been pumping their fists at the Jersey shore for years. Why anybody would be offended by the fact that one of the most pathetic stations on television today has created a pathetic excuse to reveal the excesses and obsessions of today’s guidos in a pathetic television show, is beyond me.
Seaside was a great place to roam when the Chatterbox was a place to stop, but like crabgrass in July the guidos have taken over the place. And no amount of weeding is going to stop their advance.

Misery loves company... let gays and lesbians in on it too.

The New York State Senate rejected a measure on Wednesday to permit same-sex marriage in the Empire State. Big, huge FAIL.

The 38 "no" votes to 24 "yes" votes managed to prop up groups like the National Organization for Marriage, which opposed the law, while serving up more disappointment for gay-rights activists in one of the country's most liberal states.

That is an important footnote to the debate over same-sex marriage. If one of the most liberal states in the Union -- New York -- can't get enough votes together to get the paperwork rolling on gay marriage can there be any reasonable expectation to see it approved in less liberal or conservative states?

You already know the answer so why spell it out.

Five states (Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont) have already legalized same-sex marriage. But that is overshadowed by the 40 states who have passed specific laws to ban same-sex marriage.

Maine was the sixth state to approve same-sex marriages, but voters repealed the law by a slim margin last month.

The California state supreme court also gave the green light to same-sex marriage in the Golden State, but voters repealed that decision by a margin of 52-percent to 48-percent at the voting booth last year.

Now the ultra-liberal state legislature in the great Garden State of New Jersey is doing all it can to avoid weighing in on the issue. It looks like the writing is on the wall for same-sex marriage.

Let's get some perspective here.

Just because I happen to be a male and am attracted to females doesn't give me any exclusive rights to marriage and all the pain and aggravation that brings. If two men, or two women, want to sign on the dotted line to be just as miserable as I once was when I was married, well more power to ya.

If gay men and lesbian women want to shell out thousands upon thousands of dollars to get out of a bad marriage, they should be able to reach in their bank accounts and hand over the king's ransom to a lawyer just like the heterosexual community.

Let's get some perspective here.

What goes on in the bedrooms of people around the globe is nobody's business but theirs, unless they turn on their camcorders and share the footage with the rest of us... think Paris Hilton, Pam Anderson, Lindsey Lohan, and even Toyna Harding. (Okay, I'm sorry!! Don't think about Tonya Harding.)

Look. There are a lot of people out in the world who are repulsed at the idea or mental imagery of gay sex (well unless it's girl-on-girl sex and then every male out there is all for it). Be repulsed. But keep it to yourself. I assure you nobody cares about what turns you off, just as much as they don't care what turns you on either.

If you were brought up in a repressive family, religion, culture or biosphere, there is only one way to deal with the idea of two men or two women getting hitched... GET OVER IT!

Let's get some more perspective here.

The Declaration of Independence (you remember that document, right?) promises us "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Nowhere in the document does it say anything about "except gays and lesbians."

Nowhere in the document does it says "except for anything that might offend someone else."

The preamble of the U.S. Constitution starts out with "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity."

Nowhere does it say gays and lesbians are excluded from the Justice, Tranquility, common defence, general Welfare, or Liberty.

And I suppose we should have followed along with the ideas of denying Blacks and women the right to vote. They were less than people at one time too, and men couldn't stomach the idea of having either of those groups walking into the sacred voting booth.

And isn't that the salient argument of most people who oppose gay marriage? It goes against the sacred institution of marriage.

Try again. If marriage is so sacred why are lawyers raking in huge profits in divorce courts around the country?

The idea of same-sex seems wrong to so many, but the promises of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution are more powerful and far more important than our individual sense of right and wrong.

Let the gays and lesbians be miserable -- they deserve it just as much as any heterosexual couple. Why would you want to deny them that simple marital pleasure?

Obama says: Git 'er done, and git on out!!

President Barrack Obama is throwing down the gauntlet and setting a deadline for success in Afghanistan.

The Commander-in-chief announced Tuesday night he is sending 30,000 more troops into the war-zone there but he wants a pull-out strategy to begin within the next 18 months;  coincidentally that time-line falls in-line with the presidents re-election bid.

Also,  do not misread the pull out strategy issue. He wants a pull out of the 30,000 troop surge not of all troops in the region.

Let get some perspective here.

Obama spent an entire election cycle complaining about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and made promises to his peacenik supporters about withdrawals and evacuations  --   that's at least what the peacenik groups thought they heard Obama say as candidate Obama.

The reality is he talked about a withdrawal from Iraq, but never made the same proposals about Afghanistan. In fact, in July 2009, during an interview with Fox News' Bill Hemmer, Obama said he expected to increase troop levels in Afghanistan to get the job done.

Since taking office in January, Obama has hemmed and hawed about his military direction in both places and has most recently been toying with the political ramifications of an increase in troop strength in Afghanistan.

Despite a request for no less than 40,000 additional troops by the commander who is actually on the ground in Afghanistan with the best view of the situation, Obama and his advisers have somewhat ignored his request instead

Obama's rhetoric in the speech and his decision to increase troop strengths by 30,000 seems more about appeasing the military and his anti-war supporters all at the same time. Think about it, he hands the military some more troops, but not what they want, and adds a pull-out date that gives the illusion all at the same time that he is putting in an effort to win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people while reassuring his supporters that he still hates the idea of fighting the war. Talk about talking out of both sides of his mouth again.

Which is it? Does Obama want to win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people, while taking on al-Qaeda head-on? Or does he want to end a war he says he opposes?

He can ' t have it both ways, but he sure is going to try. What a politician!

Okay.

So.

Will these 30,000 new troops help the situation in Afghanistan get better?

Only time will tell for sure, but my bet is no way is this decision going to make any real difference. It will only prolong our stay in Afghanistan and cement our losses there.

Lets get some perspective here. If a WalMart store manager tells his regional manager he will need 400 new employees to get through the holiday season and only gets the go-ahead to hire 300 new employees, do you really think the service at WalMart is going to get any better as the hordes hit the store this holiday season? No.

And that's why I say Obama's rationing of troops to Gen. Stanley McChrystal in Afghanistan won't help the situation there at all. At best, the situation may stabilize. But we're not looking to stabilize the situation are we? I was under the impression we actually wanted to win a war this time around.
