How Star Trek and the NFL gave the world Obama

Posted in Politics with tags , , , , , on 30 June 2008 by The Pissed Off Tree Rat

     I was getting ready to hop on a plane (that’s a big flying mode of transportation for your Marcus fans out there) and cruising through this weeks Sports Illustrated.   While doing so I came across a 5 sentence blurb that just about freaked me out.  Long story short is that I had never put two and two together to realize the DNC owes Obama to Star Trek and the NFL.  Oh yes they most certainly do……………..

It goes like this.

1.   In 2004 the RNC incumbent Jack Ryan is prepping to run, and most likely skunk, an unknown Chicago lawyer named Obama for the Chicago U.S. Senate seat.   Problem is is that he married, and then got dumped by Star Trek Hottie Jeri Ryan (aka Seven of Nine).  It’s seems he took his wife, 7of9, out to sex clubs and asked her to perform sex acts in front of others.  What a complete tool.  This causing him to be dump by the RNC as well.  Jack, there’s free porn on the internet buddy.  Check it out.

2.  Where was I?  Oh yeah.  Uber Hottie Jeri Ryan, the ex.  I had to work her pic in here.  What moron would mess up this action.  Oh yeah………. Jack Ryan.

 3.  Well the Star Trek link has been shown what about the NFL?  GOP leaders then went on to try and seduce Mike Ditka to take the nomination and run against IL State Senator Obama. For those of you who don’t know Ditka is a legendary figure in Chicago that would lose to only one of the Holy Trinity in the windy city.

Mike decided to stay out of it, declaring:
“I have a lot of commitments that I’ve made previous to this coming up, some obligations to my partners here at (his) restaurant. And therefore, it’s something that I can’t do at this time.”

Obama won the Senate seat with 70% of the vote, defeating GOP fill-in opponent Alan Keyes.

 

 4.  Well there is how Star Trek and the NFL gave the world with Mr O himself.   Folks that is some Grade A weird shit to think about.

Nostalgia

Posted in General on 28 June 2008 by marcusatrocious

So there I am, flicking through the TV channels looking for something to watch. Everything on just sucks. I mean, who wants to watch Dancing With the Stars or American Idol anyway? Total crap. Worse than crap even. I long for the days when quality programming ruled the airwaves. A time when three networks (four if you counted that PBS shit) was all we needed to sastisfy our desire for wholesome entertainment. Where have those days gone? What have we come to? I think we need to bring back the best of a lost generation of viewing excellence. I think we need to divest ourselves of the dreck on modern television and go back to a golden era of televised creativity that seems lost on modern America.

I say bring back The Misadventures of Sherriff Lobo. I say bring back Salvage 1. Life hasn’t been the same without BJ and the Bear. And who doesn’t want to see Steve Austin make a comeback in The Six Million Dollar Man? Come on, when he went up against Bigfoot, that was frickin’ Emmy-winning material. It was awesome!

Where is the commitment to standards these days? I feel that we slip further into a cultural abyss….

You know what the beauty of posting on someone-else’s blog? I can recycle shit I used on another blog and nobody even knows…

‘Tis a bit evil… yes I know. But… whatever.

Please enjoy the musical stylings of Queen, under the backdrop of the First Robotech War.

Geekish? Sure. I’ll grant you that. But awesome nonetheless.

Enjoy.

AWOL

Posted in General with tags , , on 27 June 2008 by marcusatrocious

Howdy folks… Marcus Atrocious here.  It seems the Tree Rat is on the road and has little time for blogging, which pretty much sucks for you guys.  But fear not, I am here to help. 

So I have decided to hijack this site and work my blogging magic for all of you poor unfortunates whilst the Tree Rat gets his shit together and posts another treatise on some brilliant subject matter.  Like why any of us should still be interested in looking at Linda Carter’s withered old boobs.

All you need to do gentle reader is sit back and relax.  I shall fill the void for you.

Pull up a chair, break out a good box of wine, and have a listen to some sweet, sweet tunes. 

I heartfully dedicate the following to the Tree Rat… enjoy:

You’re welcome.

I have not forsaken thee…

Posted in Hotties with tags , , , on 26 June 2008 by The Pissed Off Tree Rat

     Although many of you are probably thinking the POTR is out on an extended bender to celebrate the Supreme Court upholding the second amendment in District of Columbia v. Heller, unfortunately that’s not the case.  I’m being forced to earn my paycheck excessively while on the road this week.    But I can’t let the D.C. handgun ban be slapped down without at least a single post.  So here’s some Hottie’s with Guns!  While your at it, don’t forget to join the NRA and check out my previous video post of:

 Guns + Hotties = Educational & well…………. fun.

George Carlin has left the building, forever………

Posted in General with tags , , on 23 June 2008 by The Pissed Off Tree Rat

George Carlin died last night.  His left leaning social commentary comedy was some of the most insightful and hilarious I had ever heard.  I’ve enjoyed his routines and books for decades now.  Even though I disagreed with his points of view often, I don’t think he’d mind that I still found it amazingly funny.  I’ll miss his work.   I hope God found him as funny as I did.

Goodby George.

For posterity, here is his famous “Seven Dirty Words” monologue (NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY, just funny, you have been warned):

Color issues in the fonts

Not sure why the font colors on this page’s previous posts are all out of whack now.  I’m looking into it.

Admittedly I can be a jerk sometimes.

Posted in General with tags , on 19 June 2008 by The Pissed Off Tree Rat

     For months I have been flying across the country every Monday and Friday.  During this time I’ve decided I have a pet peeve that makes everyone around me think I’m a complete tool.  What is it?  Carry on luggage that a person can’t lift.  More specifically, women who can’t lift the giant bag of rocks they packed into the overhead bin and expect me to do it for them.  Why am I a jerk here?  Because I refuse to do it for them. 

     I used to do the gentlemanly thing but now I’m just so sick of it that I ignore the whole circus going on around me.  I must be one miserable son of a bitch.  It’s one thing for an old lady flying to see her Grand-kids needing help.  I do lend a hand there, but these 105 lb business travelers that refuse to check there bags can fend for themselves.  I check my bag, I fly twice every week, and I deal with it.  Screw them.  Clogging up the isles with their giant bags, expecting bystanders to do it for them.  Piss off!  I have figured out how to travel without holding up every other human being around me.  I will never understand why they feel the need to carry every God blessed thing then own with them onto the plane!  I carry my laptop, and a book or my Zune.  That’s it.  I will not be needing my extra socks, a new shirt, my shaving kit, running shoes or my hat in mid-flight.  Therefore it goes below. 

     How do I do such an amazing thing.  Do I add 30 minutes to my schedule to pick up my bag after the flight? Gasp, such a waste of time!  Nope, after a flight I go straight to the car rental counter, get my car, then I pick up my bag.  I’m sure this process is no big secret.  No time lost and I don’t piss off the rest of the closet carry-on bag haters on my flight.

The formula used to find the maximum size carry-on bag for most airlines is as follows:

Blogger strike against the Associated Press

Posted in General, Politics with tags , , on 16 June 2008 by The Pissed Off Tree Rat

*UPDATED*

     Apparently the AP wants to apply their own Fairness Doctrine to the blog world.  While most citations may not be in proper MLA or APA format, bloggers do provide adequate links to references providing background material.  This is a benefit to the blogger, and a revenue generator for sites such as AP.  In support of fellow bloggers served takedown notices by the AP.  The POTR joins the voices saying “Screw you AP!”.  That means no link to AP articles, and no clicks from you to them at http://pissedofftreerat.wordpress.com and hopefully a loss of cash to AP.  These guys with their terrorist connected reporters and Photoshoping editors have been on the downward slide for years.  Now they’re officially on the “You Guys Suck” list.

More at TechCrunch: Here’s Our New Policy On A.P. stories: They’re Banned

While the AP screws the bolggers maybe they should follow BBCs reporting:

In 2007 three times as many people were arrested for blogging about political issues than in 2006, it revealed.

More than half of all the arrests since 2003 have been made in China, Egypt and Iran, said the report.

It also noted that many nations, perhaps as many as 30, imposed technological restrictions on what people can do online. In nations such as China this made it difficult for people to use a blog as a means of protest.

The report pointed out that it is not just governments in the Middle East and East Asia that have taken steps against those publishing their opinions online. In the last four years, British, French, Canadian and American bloggers have also been arrested.

Yeah………………. friggin bite me.

Join the Navy or join the Army?

Posted in General with tags , , on 12 June 2008 by The Pissed Off Tree Rat

Keep an eye out for the POTR cameo.  I’m still waiting for my residual check by the way.  Lying Navy bareback riding tools!

 

Yup videos are a blog cop-out, but what the hell it’s Friday and beer is still legal.
