Rock Me!

I just walked in the door after having an awesome evening over in Portland.

I don't know who it was or how they managed it but someone talked Pat Travers into playing a concert in this little fucking bar.
There wasn't even close to two hundred people there, more like a hundred and fifty, Max.
Packed in like sardines and hotter than Holy Hell, I could have poked him with the end of a fishing pole, I was that close.

I can't hear a damn thing out of my right ear because I was standing directly in front of an amplifier. Music that you can feel, the best kind in my opinion.

Great show, just great. Some new and some old stuff, the man still has it goin' on.

The best part?
After the show he had a meet and greet.
I got an autographed CD and DVD, an autographed picture, got to shake his hand and the wife got a picture of my ugly ass standing next to him with a big ol' shit eating grin on my face. (I gotta get some new glasses, these things are hideous!)

I will have to wait until her sister comes over with some gizmo to transfer the pictures onto her computer so she can send them to me, neither one of us has a smart phone yet.

I have been waiting 30 years to see him in concert again, it was worth the wait.

Fucky Fuck Games At The Bureau Of Licensing,V.2,596,785,Where I Finally Win One

I was going to title this post "Why It's Called Justifiable Homicide".

Jesus Christ was I pissed off.

My arm is still twitching from wanting to reach across and slap the taste out of some petty bureaucratic bitch's mouth.


Cocksuckers.
As you may know, last year I bought a cherry 1983 GMC Caballero from a wrecking yard for $1600 as a "Builder".

It looks just like this one but not quite as shiny because I have never waxed it yet.

It was a one owner, 124,000 original miles steal.The front end has been repainted I can see and the transmission was bad in it.
I got the original window sticker for estimated mileage and the dealer brochure and some receipts for new tires, etc.
Come to find out, I even know the lady who's Grandfather owned it.

The wrecking yard told me they got it from a Dealer Auction.

It was an unmitigated disaster and a traumatic experience getting the plates and title for it though.
It took almost a fucking month and cost me an arm and a leg.
Fucking around with petty fucking State government bureaucrats and the State Police.


I had to have the State Police do an inspection on it.

That took three fucking weeks to even get scheduled because they were having staffing issues and wound up with ONE damn lady cop to cover the ENTIRE Southwest Washington area.

Needless to say she was not real pleasant because she was overworked to begin with.

Now because I bought this from a wrecking yard, I knew up front that they were going to want to issue me a Branded Title.

Imagine my surprise when I got a clean title!

Now that was a year ago,I noticed last week that my plate tags were about to expire so I asked The Wife if I had gotten a renewal notice in the mail.

She said no.

I get very little personal mail and it would be easy to remember.

So I go down to the Bureau of licensing two days ago to get tabs.

Insert ominous music here.

Sure as shit, it starts again.

First off, I have yet to meet anyone that isn't an asshole at one of these places.
They have a shitty job with the ability to fuck you over seven ways from Sunday on a whim and I swear to God, they enjoy every second of doing it too.

Right off the bat,she tells me she can't sell me tags because there is a notice in the file that I need to bring in my title and have it branded.
Of course my tags expire the next day.
All I could do was get a three day travel permit for thirty fucking dollars and walk away mad.
Oh, was I mad.

I showed those sonsabitches at the DMV and the State Police both the printed receipt from the wrecking yard so they should have done that on day one.

It brought back those vivid memories of all the bullshit I went through in the first place and to top it off, she tells me that if I had been pulled over in the last year that I would have gotten a huge fine, my plates yanked and my car impounded!

All because someone didn't do their fucking job.

Yeah, to say I was pissed off would be a major understatement.


So I go back down there today, with the title and when she goes to process it, the computer won't let her.

Here, we go, again.

She calls up to the State office and they go round and round. They are saying it needs to be inspected by the State Police because the wrecking yard sent in the notice that it was sold as a wrecked vehicle.

She pointedly ignores me when I try to interrupt this clusterfuck to tell her I already did that.

Long story short, the wrecking yard is the ones responsible for this disaster for not processing their paperwork inside the entire fucking month it took me to go through all that bullshit and the State issued me the title before they got that notice.

Here is where I finally win one,
the person at the State level threw in the towel rather than start the whole process over again and they let me keep my clean title!

It's probably a good thing because I was about to snap.
I'm not kidding either.

My arm is still twitching.

Bastards.

Sticking A Finger In Sauron's Eye

Sauron's Eye in this case being a metaphor for Thermal Imaging, Night Vision or FLIR.

Max Velocity has been developing a thermal barrier tarp for personal use to try and hide one's heat signature from these systems . It looks like just a regular tarp.

Someone put his theory to the test with an inexpensive Mylar "Survival Blanket" mated to an inexpensive tarp against a real world hunter of people, an Apache Attack Helicopter.

The results are pretty amazing, the pilot even knows they are down there.



Max is working on a product that he claims will hide 100% of your heat signature if deployed properly.

I can't wait for his version to come out!

I also hope the man gets filthy rich doing it too.

HS Students Say Pledge In Arabic: ‘One Nation Under Allah’

Let that sink in for a minute.




Ya got that now?

I do.

Infuriated I think is the word I am looking for.

Now I read the article,the author does a middling job of skewering the principle but stops far, far short of where I would be willing to go.

The principal at Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins, Colorado, is facing a hailstorm of criticism from some very angry parents and residents.

The school recites the Pledge of Allegiance weekly, on Mondays. Last Monday, a member of their “Cultural Arms Club” led the student body in an Arabic version of the pledge, replacing the words “under God” with “under Allah.”

Principal Tom Lopez denies any attempt to push an Islamic agenda, saying, “These students love this country. They were not being un-American in trying to do this. They believed they were accentuating the meaning of the words as spoken regularly in English.”

Principal Lopez doesn’t make any sense. Speaking unintelligible words in Arabic in some way accentuates their meaning? That is an extremely weak argument in defense of an ill-advised decision.

He said the cultural clubs seeks to “destroy the barriers, embrace the cultures” that exist within the high school.

That would translate into “destroy the barriers to Islam and embrace it,” correct, Mr. Lopez?

The Poudre School District communications director, Danielle Clark, said they understand why parents are upset. She told Fox News, “We understand not everybody would agree with the students’ choice. We’ve heard there are some who are upset.”

Let’s put his into perspective for the feeble-minded Clark and Lopez. It is not the student’s choice. They do not control the public address system. It was a school choice.

Her simplistic defense included a reference to “one” supportive email and a reference to a similar mistake last year which drew controversy when the pledge was recited in Spanish. Somehow not learning from and expanding upon your previous mistakes is perceived as a viable defense for these educators.

He goes on in a mild mannered, almost polite way of pointing out the obvious bad decision making and the complete lack of any educator taking responsibility for this disgrace.

It's hard for me to take his disgust seriously though because there doesn't seem to be a real sense of outrage.

Fuck that shit.

These fucking ninnies need to realize just what an outrageous act this was.

It sounds to me like a bunch of parents are pointing it out to them in no uncertain terms though;

Lopez said he has been getting a variety of accusations leveled at him, including being called a traitor. He said, “They claim they are outraged, that this is blaspheming a real major tenet of our patriotism – which in their mind the Pledge of Allegiance is only in English.”

Sounds to me like they are on it.

Good.

Let this be a lesson to the rest of you fucking panty waist sonsabitches out there.

There are some things you just don't fuck with.

This would be one of those things.

Got it?


While I'm at it, let me give some advice to you motherfucking "Artists" that feel the need to put your own personal "interpretation" to the singing of our National Anthem.

Knock that shit off and sing it like it was written, you pretentious assholes.

You're just embarrassing yourselves and pissing the rest of us off.

It's an HONOR to be selected to sing it, remember that and save that fucking warbling and screeching shit for your shower where it belongs.

Damn, there's a bunch of people I would like to back hand for that.

The NSA Knows Everything About You But The Pentagon Can't Even Keep Track Of It's Ammo

Something is very wrong with this picture.

Report: Pentagon to destroy $1B in ammo

 

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon plans to destroy more than $1 billion worth of ammunition although some of those bullets and missiles could still be used by troops, according to the Pentagon and congressional sources.
It's impossible to know what portion of the arsenal slated for destruction — valued at $1.2 billion by the Pentagon — remains viable because the Defense Department's inventory systems can't share data effectively, according to a Government Accountability Office report obtained by USA TODAY.
The result: potential waste of unknown value.
"There is a huge opportunity to save millions, if not billions of dollars if the (Pentagon) can make some common-sense improvements to how it manages ammunition," said Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., and chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. "Despite years of effort, the Army, Navy and Air Force still don't have an efficient process for doing something as basic as sharing excess bullets. This Government Accountability Office (GAO) report clearly shows that our military's antiquated systems lead to millions of dollars in wasteful ammunition purchases."
The Army and Pentagon, in a statement, acknowledged "the need to automate the process" and will make it a priority in future budgets. In all, the Pentagon manages a stockpile of conventional ammunition worth $70 billion.

 

I don't know what pisses me off more, the fact that they are going to destroy possibly good ammunition, the fact that the incompetent motherfuckers can't keep track of what they bought, the fact that they don't communicate with each other or the fact that they are WASTING A BILLION FUCKING DOLLARS!!

Holy. Fucking. Shit.. These people could destroy a solid brass ball with a rubber mallet.

There should literally be hundreds of unemployed, stupid motherfuckers, over this.

Hundreds.

It's just mind boggling that they get away with this horse shit!

It's inexcusable and it's basically mismanagement on an unimaginable scale.

At this point, it's damn near deliberate too.
They have known about this particular problem for many, many years and instead of upgrading their computers and software so that all of the Armed Services can communicate with each other, they spend Billions of dollars on worthless shit like that fucking F-35 program.

Another COLOSSAL waste of money, in and of it's self. The word Boondoggle comes to mind.

You are going to have to go read the rest of this article on your own because right this second I am so fucking pissed off that I can't hardly see straight.By the time you finish reading the rest of the damning revelations, you will be too.

Why Is This Young Man Smiling?

Probably because he knows there is a large chunk of change in his future after he gets done suing the dog shit out of this fat fucking bastard EX cop and the Knoxville Tennessee Sheriffs department .

For this;

I say Ex cop because the sadistic fuck got his fat ass fired for that little show of excessive force.

The more of these rotten sonsabitches that suddenly become ordinary citizens, the better I like it.
That means the odds of them trying to throw their weight around without the protection of that shiny fucking badge increases the likely hood that they will start serving their true purpose on this planet sooner rather than later.

Food Banks In Harris County Texas To Recieve Free Ham and BACON!

Even better, it's a win win deal.

Texas County to Feed Feral Hogs to the Homeless

Authorities in Texas have signed off on plans to control the growing feral hog population that includes trapping and cooking the critters to feed to the hungry at local food banks.

The pigs will be trapped at George Bush Park and Congressman Bill Archer Park in Harris County, Texas, where they are threatening native wildlife and vegetation, according to Harris County Commissioner Steve Radack who came up with the plan and called it a "gift from God," according to ABC News affiliate KTRK-TV in Houston.

"There may be as many as 8,000 to 10,000 feral hogs in each of the reservoirs," said Mike McMahon with the Harris County Commissioner's Office, which today approved the purchase of four four-acre metal pens to trap the hogs.

After being captured, the pigs will be taken to a processing plant, J&J Packing Co, where they'll be inspected by a Department of Agriculture officer before being slaughtered. The meat will be sent to the Houston Food Bank.

On Tuesday, the commissioner's Office signed a one-year contract with the processors for $217,600, according to the AP. The county estimates in that year it will be able to eliminate roughly 2,500 hogs, which will each produce around 40 pounds of meat.

"This is a huge win for everybody in all the communities that we serve," said Dr. Pamela Berger with the Houston Food Bank, who said she is excited to receive the hog meat.

2500 pigs a year, the way the little jokers breed, will barely keep up with the birth rate but hey, it's a start.

Who doesn't like free bacon anyway?!

So they are going to go from this;

To this;

And this!

Goodbye Net Neutrality

It's the money, stupid.

That's what this whole deal is about and the FCC just opened Pandora's Box for 30 pieces of silver.

Dirty fucking bastards.

Everything You Need To Know About The End Of Net Neutrality

What do the new rules say?

The new rules would allow companies like Netflix to pay Internet providers to stream their videos and other content more quickly. That could create two lanes on the Internet, fast super-highways that big tech companies can afford and a bumpy backroad where less fortunate websites dwell, consumer advocates say.

Verizon, which sued the FCC for the right to cut such deals, said Thursday that it had no intention of preventing customers from viewing certain sites.

Verizon and other Internet providers “have always made clear that we support an open Internet and we have publicly committed to ensuring that customers can access the Internet content they want, when they want and how they want," the company said in a statement.

The FCC said these deals would still be fair because Internet providers would be required to reveal how they handle traffic, how much they charge companies for access to fast lanes, and whether they’ve given preferential treatment to their own content.

That last part could become especially important as Internet providers are increasingly becoming entertainment companies. AT&T said this week it plans to launch a new online video service. Comcast owns NBC Universal, which includes 30 cable networks, 26 local TV stations and part of the streaming service Hulu.

Internet providers would be required to act in a “commercially reasonable manner,” according to the FCC, which will vote on the proposed rules later this year.

What could that mean for me, in English, please?

First off, the web could get more expensive. The impact on the average Internet user will likely not be felt right away. But over time, websites would probably pass on to consumers the costs of paying for high-speed access, according to Harold Feld, a senior vice president at the consumer group Public Knowledge.

In addition, it could become difficult to view certain websites owned by companies that can't afford to pay for access to an Internet fast lane, Feld said.

On top of Internet users potentially paying more, they would also be more confused, Feld said. Under the proposed rules, people would need to make sense of a fragmented Internet landscape where the time it takes to load an online video would depend on whether that website paid extra to their Internet provider. Consumers may start choosing their Internet providers based on which websites they like to visit.

Feld compared the situation to the exclusive deals that AT&T and Apple once made that only allowed AT&T subscribers to purchase the iPhone.

I trimmed quite a bit of this article and basically snipped that part right out of the middle.

News Station Airs Interview With Womans Camel Toe

Idiots.

This is funny shit though.

News Station Airs In-Depth Coverage of Local Hero's Camel Toe

After six Houston teens broke into a house, using a basketball to break a window, local news station KPRC aired an interview with the heroic neighbor who saw them and called police. The witness wanted to remain anonymous, so the station pointed the camera away from her face—and now she's probably wishing they hadn't.

At least 10 full seconds of the woman's crotch made it to air, despite the fact that the station obviously had plenty of footage of the neighborhood that she could have talked over.

She wasn't exactly asking to be put into witness protection. Not spoon-feeding video of an interview subject's labia to radio hosts/camel toe fetishists Opie and Anthony is just basic courtesy.

Supreme Court Stomps On 4th Amendment, Again.

Ho hum, just another day watching the rapid decline of this country and the freedoms it used to be famous for.

The clock is ticking just a bit faster this morning on what is now inevitable.

Supreme Court Gives Police New Power To Rely On Anonymous Tips

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that police can stop and search a driver based solely on an anonymous 911 tip.
The 5-4 decision split the court's two most conservative justices, with Justice Clarence Thomas writing for the majority and Justice Antonin Scalia penning the dissent.
In August 2008, an anonymous 911 caller in California phoned in a report that a pickup truck had run her off the road. The caller gave the location of the incident, plus the make and model of the truck and the license plate number.
Police subsequently pulled over a truck matching that description and smelled marijuana as they were walking toward the vehicle. Officers eventually found 30 pounds of marijuana in the truck and arrested the driver, Jose Prado Navarette.
Navarette challenged the search and arrest as unconstitutional, arguing that officers did not have reasonable suspicion to pull him over in the first place because police knew nothing about the identity or reliability of the tipster.
The five-justice court majority disagreed, and in so doing gave police new authority to rely on anonymous tipsters.
The court has long held that officers can make stops based on anonymous tips, but the information in those tips must provide enough detail to give rise to a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. In this case, Thomas, the author of the majority opinion, concluded that because the 911 tipster said she had been forced off the road, she was an eyewitness, and that police could infer that there was reason to believe the truck driver was drunk.
Relying on 911 tipsters is reasonable, he said, because "a 911 call has some features that allow for identifying and tracking callers," and the calls can be recorded.
In a scathing dissent, fellow conservative Scalia called the Thomas opinion a "freedom-destroying cocktail" that would encourage "malevolent" tipsters to make false reports. It matters not whether the caller gave details about her alleged accident. The issue, said Scalia, is "whether what she claimed to know was true."
As to the inference that the truck's driver was drunk, Scalia pointed out that the police officers here followed the pickup for over five minutes — and "five minutes is a long time" — without any indication of drunken driving or even bad driving.
"After today's opinion," said Scalia, "all of us on the road, and not just drug dealers, are at risk

BATF Says Nearly 500,000 Gun Silencer Permits In 2013

At $200 a crack just for the permit.

They have been hammered with so many applications that they say the average wait now is NINE MONTHS!

Gun silencer sales are booming

 

NEW YORK - Sales are booming for silencers, the cylindrical devices used to muffle gunfire.
The civilian market for silencers soared 37% in 2013, when the total number shot up to nearly a half a million, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives registry. That's compared to 360,000 in 2012 and 285,000 in 2011.
Silencers are so popular that there's a nine-month wait to have a registration approved by the ATF, according to Ben Shim, a certified firearms instructor and gun industry analyst with CRT Capital Group in Stamford, Conn.
"People have gone crazy buying guns, but they're done buying them for the time being, so they're buying accessories," Shim said.
Many gun owners rushed to buy assault rifles after the Newtown massacre, fearing that a weapons ban would be enacted. Now, Shim says, those owners are customizing their guns with "a dizzying array of accessories." Add-ons include silencers, flashlights, laser scopes, stocks, pistol grips and rail systems for attaching even more accessories.
"The AR-15 weapons platform is very modular," said Shim, referring to a type of rifle used by the U.S. military. "It's like Barbie for men."
Silencers attach to the end of a gun barrel and can be used with a variety of handguns and rifles. They are more accurately referred to as suppressors, since "the noise of a chambered round being fired is never silent, only suppressed or dampened," said gun industry analyst Brian Rafn of Morgan Dempsey Capital Management in Milwaukee.
The popularity of suppressors is driven in part by the value they offer to hunters, said Rafn, because they "give the hunter multiple shots without frightening the game."
ATF special agent Tim Graden said that silencers are categorized as firearms by the federal government, even though the silencer itself can't fire a bullet.

This Better Not Have Been Invented By A Man

If it was then we need to find this guy and beat him senseless.
