Why the delay ?

So it's been about 10 hours since the attack in Quebec, we know that two people were arrested, prime Minister Trudeau went to the podium and declared this terrorism.....POS Deblasio stepped up Police patrols in New York , but no identity on the shooters.....Weird.

Rally, rally.....Casino hotel

Today in Zuccotti park, next to the bench with the bronze statue of a business man with his briefcase, there will be a THANK YOU rally in support of all the hardworking Wall Street types that have pushed the DOW over 20 fucking thousand.....Even the limousine liberals will smile today when they punch up their 401ks.....The rally will last approximately 90 seconds and be confined to that one single bench, flag burning, public urination and hanging the President in effigy will be frowned upon.......On behalf of the hardworking stiffs on my team, guys and gals trying to raise a family on 80k, with no pension , who pay into their health care and can be let go at the drop of a hat without so much as a months severance, I convey a hearty YOU ARE WELCOME AMERICA !

Ship of fools

Man's inhumanity towards fellow man continued well into the evening....With no trains whatsoever running , hurricane strength winds attacking, katrinaesque rain deluging the plains, we finally escaped from Jersey city on the last helicopter from Saigon.( Actually my waterways to Belford... Wherever the fuck that is).....I quietly drank my beer as the mighty ship was tossed around the narrows like a row boat in an angry sea.... Surely I thought the good Lord was done fucking with us for this evening when the unthinkable happened......The Bartender.... Arguably the most important man on the ship, got off at pier 11 and went home for the evening..... The next 55 tortoures minutes on the high seas were spent beerless.... Forced to suffer one last indignity.....The world is an ugly place.

woman is the nigger of the world

John Lennon said that, and I believe its true..... I sat with pride in my basement bar watching the news reels from Washington d.c. , so proud of these American women ( not the pro life ones, but that's another story) marching around the Capitol ; protesting the sexist President Regime on day 2 of his reign.....I wait with baited breath for the day that a Woman can become a doctor , or a lawyer or work on wall street or dare I say ....Run for Political office........or dare I really say accept the nomination of a Major party to run for the highest office in the land ....and also accept the questions for a major debate in advance of her opponent, stand silent as her party schemes to discredit her male opponent ( The Altacacca mister Bernie sanders) and be excused of crimes that MEN sit in Prison for committing....Yes, that is when we can all stop waiting to exhale and know that the buxom gender has indeed arrived...

hypocrisy....is a walk on a slippery rock

ok....so Edie Brickell was actually talking about PHILOSOPHY , but I couldn't find a lyric that circled around hypocrisy. I wont rehash the past 8 years.....just the most recent incident in the long winding road that leads to Russia....so....Obama was incensed with the evidence that Russia was behind the hacking of emails of the DNC that lead to exposing of some ugly truths about miss Hillary & co.........he expelled Russian diplomats and proposed financial sanctions......again these were private emails that were exposed.....nobody suggested they were fakes..........Bradley manning on the other hand published classified documents about battle plans that put the military in real jeopardy.......that offense ? not so bad.....he gets a pardon ......if he hadn't declared he was transgender and attempted suicide while in jail , does he still get a pardon ? just ask Petraus. Obama also pardoned Oscar lopez Rivera...the FALN founder that was linked to 100's of bomb attacks on US soil, including the one in lower Manhattan of Fraunces Tavern that killed 4 during lunch and wounded 50......yep, never forget, blah blah blah....... the whole premise of a Presidential pardon is OK.....just like the electoral College.....we wont hear the left complain until Trump leaves office and pardons a few folks, then all holy hell will break out. CIA head John Brennan has been very vocal in his opposition to PRESIDENT Trump, went public with his outrage when Trump questioned the intelligence community.....but when asked about his personal feeling about the spoonjiah get out of jail cards he suddenly had NO COMMENT........what about that famous letter from 100 members of the intelligence community that warned against Trump prior to the election ? did they write any letters warning of possible pardons to potentially dangerous people, or the freeing of Guantanimo prisoners ? nope....silence.... I had the unfortunate displeasure of watching the confirmation hearings yesterday while working from home......Bernie Sanders, Al Franken & company......they collectively reinforced there is no tolerance for any ideas or free thought that deviate from their own mantras......and yet they wonder why they are out of touch with voters......Trumps nominees showed great composure and class while being preached to by a pack of degenerates.... these are twisted times my friends......thank God for the diversion of the annual Sweater Nite Gala to restore some normalcy. Sweater pauses for a moment to remember Mary Duffy and ask that all my readers say a prayer for her and the extended Duffy family. Mrs Duffy was a Saint, plain and simple, no other way to describe her....despite all the hijinks and insanity that surrounded her she remained one of the most pleasant people you could ever encounter, if you met her on the Avenue, coming or going from Lento's or Rinzy's Steakhouse; you left feeling better....she was that nice of a lady......Rest in Peace Mrs Duff.
