Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!
Just wanted to post something...anything today since I'm in a particularly good mood.
Why?
Today's my birthday and I got something that I didn't think I'd get: an iPod. It's a Nano I think and it's got 16GB of space on it; it's supposed to hold something like 4,000 songs on it. Wow!!
My wife surprised me with it today after dialysis. It's still charging up through the computer I'm working on right now. I'll start ripping some of my CD's onto the PC tomorrow and figuring out how to get them over to the iPod.
And the noteworthy part of this is that the whole family have their own iPods - mini-Mikey (my daughter) has a Nano from her 14th birthday, my wife has an iPod Shuffle she won at work last year in an office contest, and now I have one too. What's remarkable about this is that all of us now have 'modern technology' for our music needs; it was only three years ago that we decided to get with it and start buying CDs instead of cassettes.
It's nice to have something cool to offset the creaping aspect of old age.....

You don't really subscribe to this nonsense, do you? I mean, as a guy on dialysis, who has a Donate box on his site to solicit money for his mounting medical bills, I'm hoping you find this funny in a "those guys will say anything" way, rather than a "those guys are so right."

Dn't you find it amazing this whole "america is the only on allowed to have nukes because we are peace keppers and would NEVER use them" argument has no merit when in fact, we were the ONLY nation to ever use them?
I mean Mike, seriously, how can you sit there being one of this assholes who piss and whine and crow and hem and haw that the world needs are democracy and the world needs out capitalism, but when countries finally DO get those things and either we don't like the outcome of their democracy or we don't like the fact that they do capitalism better than we do, we cry foul?
Please mikey, pull this bullshit brainwashed semper fi rah rah rah apple pie and baseball patriotism out of our ass and head, and realize that while we are a great country, we are far far from perfect.

Uhh?
The objection I have to this isn't from keeping China from having nukes - they've already got them - it's from helping China from improving their delivery systems.

Again, it's isn't about they're ability to do capitalism better than we do (maybe you're mistaking another bloggers argument(s)) it's about giving them improved capability of delivering nuclear warheads on target.
Please mikey, pull this bullshit brainwashed semper fi rah rah rah apple pie and baseball patriotism out of our ass and head, and realize that while we are a great country, we are far from perfect.
This is what I've always tried to say to people such as yourself that would paint the U.S. as the Fourth Reich - we're a great nation (hell, just look at the numbers of people trying to get into the country each year!) but we're not without our faults. And one of those faults is allowing Obama to get elected when he wasn't better qualified IMHO.

You're Joking....Right?
(via PDA)
President Obama is the winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.
Is this a joke?
Next thing we'll see is Nobel Prizes coming as a bonus for ordering 20-piece Chicken McNuggets......that's what it'll be worth from now on.

Despite the fact that y'all are a jarhead, I can work with you. Keep on rockin', but I only read ya because we share the same values. Vaya con Dios, amigo.
|| Posted by The Old Man, October 13, 2009 12:08 PM ||Thanks for the compliment, but I was Navy - not Marines.
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, October 14, 2009 05:03 PM ||There is some speculation that the biggest factor in this award was his moving away from "American unilateralism."
|| Posted by Mike, October 15, 2009 03:11 AM ||Let me ask this - did blacks have equal rights right after MLK give his "I have a dream" speech? Perhaps the merit of his winning the prize was based on the steps he is taking to put America back in good standing with the rest of the world. The fact he has tried to extend a hand to Iran (whether chicken hawks agree with this or not) when the last 8 years has been nothing but hawking by a corrupt administration, the fact he, yes, is trying to squash this ridiculous idea of unilateralism.
|| Posted by nunya, October 15, 2009 09:37 AM ||I am not sure if I agree all of this yet deserves a peace prize, we won't know the list of others for a long time, but I am also not against the recognition that within 8 months, how much repair in our world standing he has done. He has done a lot considering the amount of damage Bush Admin did over 8 years of failed foreign policy.
....how much repair in our world standing he has done.
IMO, he hasn't done squat. If anything, the world now perceives the U.S. to be a metrosexual shopkeeper.
Obama deserves a Nobel Peace Prize as much as Carter did for his *cough* 'work' with North Korea.....the point is that it's a complete joke now. Sort of like when Jethro Tull won a Grammy Award for 'Best Heavy Metal Album'.....
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, October 15, 2009 05:32 PM ||that nobel prize carter got was a consolation for the fact that HE got those hostages freed in iran. Don't even try to say they got scared when regan was elected so the freed the hostages.
And this debate is over now when you start pulling out the rush limpdick argument. Go on listening to asshole like him, hannity and savage. Shows your true ignorance.

Consolation?!? I'm not going to rehash this argument.....Carter didn't do squat. And getting the Nobel 25 years later for that or North Korea is still a complete joke.
And this debate is over now when you start pulling out the rush limpdick argument. Go on listening to asshole like him, hannity and savage. Shows your true ignorance.
Rush Limpdick? You can't even use the guys name.....it shows that you have no argument to stand upon if you malign his name into something a fifth-grader might come up with. And I don't listen to him. Hannity? Once in a while when I'm in the car and he's on the radio. And Michael Savage? No. Believe it or not, he's too.....out there for my tastes.
For that matter, are you still trying to find any of the *cough* personalities from Air America that haven't moved over to MSNBC? Yeah....there was a briliant idea that lastest what.....14 months? Bwwwwaaaaahhahahahahahha!!

Don't Touch That Dial!
Hey!! Don't touch that dial!
(For those of you on the 'young' side: don't touch that digital remote control!!)
Still getting settled in here at Casa del Mad Mikey. Our biggest concern is finding place(s) for our stuff that would normally go on bookshelves; we're going to go for 'nice' shelfing and we're taking our time in selecting the right stuff. No cinderblocks and boards here.
As for this blog....well, it's still here. I've be having trouble with the archives and just haven't devoted enough time to rectifiying the problem(s).
In politics: President Obama......geez, what can you say about a man that's not batting very well since he's been in office. Seems to be the same crap: campaign speeches that promise everything and then turning around to see that his *cough* administration is falling apart like a sand castle at high tide. More on that later if I have the patience to look into it more closely.
Until then, I leave you with this: write a song or poem about Mad Mikey and how I've improved your live(s) by your reading my blog. (500 words or less)
