Stop offering me a damn card!!!!!

From the time you are about four, you realize that fairs and carnivals offer you tickets to things so you don’t immediately realize your paying $4.50 for a twenty second ride on a crap ass roller coaster.

Casinos give you chips so you don’t associate the money you just put on the blackjack table is next weeks daycare money.

So if you have participated in capitalism recently you probably know you are offered a discount card everywhere from the gas station to the pharmacy to the coffee shop.

I have already evaluated my decision to purchase. Either I like the price and the situation or I don’t buy my sneech-gear there.

Offer me the best price from the get go please?   No trickery………….no veiled attempt to get my personal information (and then subsequently get it stolen by a hacker and be awful sorry)!!!!!!    My private info is for sale…………$699.95 and it’s all yours.

Since our economy sucks, the lady behind the counter should be long retired and zipping around the golf community in Scottsdale, but instead she is part of the under staffed and under trained workforce trying desperately to enter your “customer care” information in less than 45 minutes.

At Safeway in Estes Colorado, I declined the offer for my customer card being that we don’t have that chain where I live. Until she told me there difference was almost $17.00.   But here’s the extent of my business knowledge…….Safeway is not in it to loose money. So how about just give me the discount at the price tag and send me on my way?

I’m going to design new jeans with enormous back pockets so we can all carry our schwag cards around more comfortably!!!!!!!!

An eye for an eye………….and a head

As a guy, even a pacifist one, you have to be impressed with the Navy Seals. These folks eat dynamite and barbed wire for breakfast. They are BAD ASS. Not only with the latest mission but also with the recent half mile head shot on the hostage taking pirate. From one moving ship to another.

Osama Bin Laden was an evil man. While he was preaching his backward style of extreme Islam, he was sucking up luxury and western convenience. He deserved to die and I’m glad he is dead.

I think the military and administration handled it perfectly. He is done and he is gone with as little disrespect to the Muslim world as possible. They were careful not to create any kind of martyrs shrine.

My concern is our own reaction. Children laughing and celebrating on the cover of the papers. A drunken festival outside the White House. Comedians like John Stewart and Stephen Colbert (whom I really like) making course and vulgar remarks. How does one celebrate a killing any way?

Were all allowed our own opinions……………….I’m just a little confused about how to feel joyous about a human being having his head blown off.

Anywho……………as Pat Travers said “boom boom…………..out go the lights”.
