Knappy Headed Ho's .Vs. the big White Cracker (I don't get all the lingo?)

2007-04-13T08:37:00.000-07:00

Can you believe the mess over Don Imus's words? Rappers - like M1- have come out and said that when they call women Ho's it is uplifting for the black community. Boy this is really a mess!

How can a community call their own Ho's and then get offended when the word is used by someone that does not share their pigments? The words used in the rap community, like Ho's Pimp's Nigger and such are - as they claim- uplifting to the black community. How can that be. You mean Snoop Dog, M1 and such are actually uplifting their community?

"Shock a Zulu - these crackers can't stop you!" - that's respectful, social justice and uplifting? How did all this mess come about? Why is there a National Association of Black Journalists, when it is against the law for the National Association of White Journalists to be formed? Wow, is this upside down or what?

Yes, Imus should of been fired NOT for his words, but for making advertisers run in the hundreds? It's a corporate wound that is hard to be recovered from. That is the reason a personality can be fired.

But you know what is IRONIC? The company that fired Imus, for his Ho-isms, it part of the same company that sells records and TV shows that use freely the words Ho's and Niggers. How is that?

Where is the black community lashing out at the culture that allows their young women to be called ho's and bitches by the young men leading the public exposure of their community? It's awful quite on that front. The whole verbiage mess needs to be cleaned up. Not censorship or restriction of speech, mind you, just discouraging the degrading of a part of society by the very part of society to which they belong.

Imus was sacrificed and it was spearheaded by Jessie Jackass and Al Not so Sharpton. Two upstanding defenders and moral authorities....RIGGGGHT!

What do you think? I think this is s mess and race baiting is now a way of life that is profitable for it's defenders and it can only end up with more hate and more violence. Cut us and we all bleed the same. Pigments make NO difference and Pigments is not a criteria for policy or protection.

BTW, wasn't it last year the song of the year was "It's hard out here for a pimp?" Well, now it's hard out here if you are pigment deficient!

Call Me A Smart Ass!

2007-04-09T19:09:00.000-07:00

Spring Time has arrived and now more people are out on the road. That's both good and bad.

Recently, I had to make a road trip back home to bury a 15 year old cousin. A family member dying is bad enough, but to bury a young family member is a soul ripping pain I hope few ever have to experience. The drive down home was a rather silent one. Mostly eyes on the road, mind not wandering as much, and just reflecting on life and the meaning of life.

As for me, I really enjoy taking road trips. If I can drive somewhere and have it still meet my schedule demands I would rather drive than fly. There is nothing like the open road. Does not matter to me whether it's an old car, new car, my car or my Harley - I love road trips. For me the road trip is a way for me to gather my thoughts, reflect on recent goings on, get a mega dose of talk radio and to dream up new ideas or inventions.

Anyway, back to the un-fun-funeral road trip. On this particular road trip I found myself observing the way other people drive in great detail. Many times on a road trip you have the fortune (or misfortune) of driving alongside or behind someone on for several hundred miles, and you know what?

Peoples' driving habits area a direct reflection of their personal lives as well.

Take this test and see where you rank?
1. When there is a merge and you are in line and someone wants in do you:
A: Inch by inch refuse to let them in
B: Sometimes I let them in - if they look nice or drive a cool car
C: I Try to use the rule- for every car merging let one car in; to keep traffic moving

2. When coming to a red light, and you see people trying to enter from a side parking lot, do you?
A: Make sure you pull up and BLOCK their ability to enter traffic since it could delay you a second or two?
B: Sometimes I let them in - if they look nice or drive a cool car
C: Since the light is red anyway, I leave room and stop so more people and enter the road and get along their way

3. BACK TO MERGES: When approaching a merge clearly marked "1 Mile Ahead" do you?
A. Move between my lane and the merge land and assume the role of a traffic monitor and make EVERYONE merge behind me!
B. I immediately move over when I see the merge 1 mile ahead sign so I am in the correct lane.
C: I merge AT THE MERGE - which is 1 Mile Ahead.

4. When traveling behind an auto or motorcycle, I...
A. Ride right on their ass to make them move out of MY way
B. I do various kinds of zig zag driving and really just focus on myself
C: I keep a safe distance in case of emergency and if someone is too slow, I'll pass and then once safely clear, I move back over

I really could keep on with these questions and probably do a great test and prove that one's driving habits are a direct reflection on their social and personal habits. But here is what I learned..

If you are the ones that answered A to any of the questions, you're an ass! Dumb Ass to be extact.

Why? Your driving gets people killed. If you are a B then you are a normal smoe, too focused on his or her life to worry about others and you are probably the kind that worries about what you wear, drive or own and how people will view you. If you're a C, I call that a CLEAR. You have a clear head and clear focus and you are probably the kind of person that makes a great friend.

Now as far as the road trip and being behind someone for hundreds of miles. That same person who answers A to the questions above and rides everyone's ass on the highway, is the same person who (if you pull over to get gas when they do) will be a white guy dressed like a gangsta rapper, or a young girl dressed like Paris Hilton trash. They'll be loud when they pay for the gas, they will still be in the cell phone - even when they are holding up the check up line and they most likely will spend an extra 15 minutes at the pump, not pumping gas but , primping in the mirror of their car while keeping other people from getting their gas. A Narcissistic dumbass!

But who am I other than the smart ass who created the "You are how you drive test" anyway!
What do you think? Does driving skill mimic ones being?

Why Israel is Important to the US?

2006-08-09T08:45:00.000-07:00

Why Israel is Important to the US? That’s a question most people have, but yet they have no explanation why the US cares about Israel or how Israel is so important to the US.

In both it’s positive and negative context, think of Israel as an Island. In an area of the world where you can still be killed for not worshiping the government sanctioned religion; where if you are a woman and you show your face in public to a man, or for that matter, you are man who prefers to have sexual relations with another man – YOU CAN BE KILLED (actually not only “can be” killed, but “will be” killed). Israel sticks out like a huge global lighthouse. It’s a just, democratic, equal opportunity society.

Yes, even though the liberal left bashes and hates Israel (and hates America), Israel does NOT force a government-sanctioned religion. It does not sanction the killing of women and young girls if they show their face (in fact, Israel reveres women and their equal contribution to family and government), and in Israel you are NOT going to be killed for being gay.

It’s just ironic that everything the LEFT says it stands for in America, it does not recognize internationally! Why is that? Here if the government killed based on religion, sex or sexual preference there would be an all out civil war. Yet, Arab-Muslim countries can sanction all of these horrible acts and the liberal left will run to defend those countries. The liberal left will fly over to the Middle East and strap themselves to tanks and use themselves as human shields to defend the countries that would actually kill those protesters IF they actually lived there.

Yet, take Israel, a society – democratic society, that allows freedoms and freedom of speech, the left won’t touch –acknowledge or support. Eve our media won’t report fairly on and still refuses to recognize just how important Israel is to the US. What is wrong with this picture?

Doesn’t the Liberal Left know that IF the radical Islamic elements went on to win these global wars, invade America and establish their rule here in America, that THOSE EXACT SAME LIBERAL LEFT members/protesters would be the FIRST to be locked up and executed by the new Islamic Government?

Why the two faced nature?
Why are most American Jews NOT Republicans or at the very least Independent?
Why are American Jews to the left of America?
Why do American Jews hate America and their home Country of Israel?
Why does the Liberal Left support countries that refuse the basic rights and privileges that the Liberal Left enjoys right here in America?
Why is it cool to hate America and Israel?
Why does the Liberal Left media hate Israel so much that they will manufacture false and misleading news stories, videos and photos, just to make America and Israel look like the bad guys?
Why does the Liberal Left have such a passion for propagating falsehoods?
What would happen if the Liberal Left focused it’s hatful passion towards honest, just and moral things?

My questions, that even I can’t really answer fully, could go on and on and on. But I suggest it’s two things:

(1) The liberal left has so entrenched itself in Academia and Media that the truth and justice no longer matter.
(2) Israel stands for the God of Abraham. The one true God and the liberal left so hates religion that it hates Israel and its role in History.
Any comments?

Too Harsh? I'm ALL Ears!

2006-05-12T09:16:00.000-07:00

Is this TOO HARSH?

Our Nation is under attack for being too harsh on Illegal Aliens who come to the United States from Mexico to make a better life. Activists say we are not being "fair" and treating Illegal Aliens like animals and the "lowest of classes of people".

We I came across these SUGGESTED RULES for Immigration. No, these are not the NEW Proposed American Immigration rules, but some have suggested they become our RULES OF IMMIGRATION. Read for yourself, and then pay close attention to my closing comment below.

1. You are permitted to reside in the country, but you cannot own resort ocean front property.

2. You can only initially stay for a period of up to one year.

3. You must renew annually for the first one-year period and then each four years thereafter.

4. At the end of the five-year period, you automatically receive residency status - with the exception of the right to vote.

5. If you stay outside of the country for longer than 2 years, or for 5 years in any 10-year period, you will lose your resident status.

6. You can only gain citizenship in the country if you are Retired, a Professional Investor, a Business Owner, a Scientists or Technician, Accredited Artist or Professional Sports Athlete.

7. You MUST agree to invest in our Country an amount at least to the value of 400 times the Nations daily minimum daily wage per month and a further 200 times daily minimum wage per month for each dependent (e.g. spouse, children) you have.

8. You MUST have a College Degree and be sponsored by a Recognized Company with verifiable Letters of Recommendation.

9. If you are a Scientist or Technician you MUST be invited to work by one of the ESTABLISHED scientific or technical organizations in our Country.

10. If you break these rules and enter our Country illegally, our Military will track you down and immediately deport you.

As you can read, these rules could actually benefit America. We would get "well qualified" Immigrants. Desirable people, who would POSITIVELY impact America and its economy.

Makes sense! I support it!

BTW, these are the Immigration Rules for MEXICO! What do you think?

Know Thy Enemy

2006-04-28T14:58:00.000-07:00

Know Thy Enemy!

Today the Nation is a buzz regarding the release of the movie “United 93”. I have been hearing all day about how people have been moved by this movie. Yes, the left is in an uproar saying the production and release of the movie is “insensitive”.

As for me?

I think it important to remember who our enemy is and do just as the Bible teaches “Know Thy Enemy”. BTW, I am taking my son. He is ready and willing to see it and he has a deeply patriotic heart. At worst case, we’ll have to have a long talk about what happened. But I still feel it is important for him to see.

Our enemies, Islamic Fascists are serious about exterminating the plague they have identified as “America”. We in turn should face the reality of their fanatical beliefs. All over Islamic countries they sell “Jihad Video” and have friends and family over to watch and celebrate the beheading of Americans. In fact, most people do not even know that these Islamic Fascists, when they plan terror attacks, actually coordinate and schedule with Al Jezera TV who has crews stand off at a distance and record the terror attacks.

This cannot be taken lightly. 9-11 was the darkest day in American History!

I will post my full story AFTER I see this important movie.

Nuclear Isolation – Nuclear Desolation

2006-04-12T16:45:00.000-07:00

Tensions and Ideology Isolation between the West and Iran escalated yesterday when hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad confidently that Iran had joined the world's nuclear nations by successfully enriching uranium. You know, not Enriched White Bread, but Enriched Uranium the critical component to launching a “melt-down of everything as we know it”!

Ahmadinejad insisted Tehran was only interested in peaceful nuclear power and was not pursuing nuclear weapons, but then again he supports the beheading of Americans as his “Religious Right” and the destruction of Israel as a “necessary evil”. NOT really someone who word you can fully trust if you look at the indisputable facts. Nuke Mahmoud’s comments were made on national television comes with speculation, convenient leakage or an “in-your-face-go-ahead-and-make-my-day play” that Washington has begun planning air attacks against Iran.
"Defiant statements and actions only further isolate the regime from the rest of the world, and further isolate the Iranian people," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said. But something tells me that Nuke-Mahmoud feels he is actually making a statement of Consolidation – “Consolidating hate for America and the West and Consolidating the Radical Islamic Nations together”.

Now here is a paradox for you:
Greeny-Wennie Peace Nics who hate America (but in fact live in America – but I won’t call them Americans) in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s protested AGAINST NUKES, do you think now they will rush over to Iran and strap themselves to the reactors and labs and protest FOR Iran’s right to have NUKES? That just about how the two-faced left side works. Against Religion in America, but FOR Religion in a third world Nation as long as they Hate America, Kill Americans, and want socialism! You watch some leftist will step up to DEFEND Iran’s right to Nuclear manufacturing and weapons.

In Washington, US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said "The US is on a diplomatic track. That is the President's decision. That's where our European allies are. There is obviously concern about Iran. It's a country that supports terrorists. It's a country that has indicated an interest in having weapons of mass destruction.”

So, the facts are: Iran supports terrorists, hates America, wants weapons of mass destruction and currently has Israel and American hating Nuke-Mahmoud at the helm. What do YOU think is best for our country?

IF the threats are real and Nuke-Mahmoud keeps posturing and stirring up the Radical Islamic Terrorists, then I for one who be willing to support a swift dose of Nuclear Desolation in that American Hating Nation! How about you? Are you for Nation Preservation?

The Mexican Standoff

2006-04-10T12:27:00.000-07:00

The Mexican Standoff

Isn’t it funny that the Dictionary has the definition of a “Mexican Standoff” as:

mexican standoff
n : a situation in which no one can emerge as a clear winner

Boy, that is an understatement! I strongly support President Bush on most issues, but on this one I think the Republican Party is out of control. I could write thousands of eloquent words here pontificating my selfish views on the “Illegal Immigration Issue” AND NOTE – this is an ILLEGAL immigration issue here NOT and IMMIGRATION issue and there is a BIG difference.

I am the son of an Immigrant. I owe my opportunities and even my ability to post this blog story to the American Immigration System working. But that is only the point of LEGAL IMMIGRATION; the way the system was designed to work. Not ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. So, instead of long words on this (because this issue WILL be drawn out and I will be publishing more) consider these simple but profound facts:

This is Legal Immigration –vs.- Illegal Immigration.
The way it is SUPPOSED to be done to ENHANCE the system –vs.- how it HURTS the system.
One way to end a Poverty Class of a nation IS NOT to send them to another country.
If we claim that Mexican Workers will do the work that American FAT AND HAPPY workers will not – then consider this:
The Illegal comes here and has children. The husband and wife do the work us fat, happy and spoiled America Workers will NOT DO, but since the Illegal Mexican Family does not send their Children to school to learn to pick Vegetables, then what do their children do?
OOPS, next round of workers gone and we need MORE ILLEGALS to do the work that Americans WON’T (that’s BS BTW, we WILL do it IF that was all there was – JUST ask my Depression Grown father)

This is about an ORGANIZED SYSTEM that benefits the NATION AS A WHOLE. This face off has to end when it’s just about Politics and NEW CROP VOTERS. We have to look at the WHOLE NATIONAL PICTURE. This is about our Nation and WHY WE MADE IT GREAT and HOW WE STAY GREAT.

It’s hard to believe the wisdom below is almost 100 years old. But READ AND HEED:

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Can I Get An AMEN?

2006-04-09T20:07:00.000-07:00

Can I Get An AMEN?

That was one of the last words I focused in on when I was first exposed to this – this – THIS – Charismatic Preacher. But, I really this I could swap Charismatic with Kleptomaniac (LOL).

Most who know me, know that I have perused a life long interest in Theology – Specifically the field of Apologetics. My interests this area has already been very intense and aside from being a Messianic Jew myself (for a brief explanation of such “Today there are over 200 Messianic Synagogues in the United States and approximately 50 in Israel. The movement's rapid growth continues, with new congregations being started in the former Soviet Union, Latin America, and in key cities around the world. Messianic Jewish followers of Jesus use His Hebrew name -- Yeshua (which means "salvation") -- and are committed to preserving their Jewish identity, believing it to be perfectly compatible with their newfound faith. They celebrate the Jewish feasts, meet on the Sabbath, teach from the Torah, celebrate Bar Mitzvahs and engage in other Jewish customs. Messianic synagogues are formed by Jewish and Gentile members who worship together and who recognize the Messiahship of Yeshua and the Jewish foundation of His message), I have always attended Christian Churches, attend Traditional Christian Seminary for Supplemental Education and explored other Churches and other faiths. I regularly attend my Messianic Synagogue on Saturday and then Christian Churches on Sunday.

But rarely will I actually write about a Preacher, but; I have to write about this Comic Book Character Posing as a Man Of God and Pentecostal Preacher.

This fellow’s church is no more than 1000 yards away from my Neighborhood and I thought it would be great to find a Christian Church to attend “right across the street” rather than trek the 45 minutes I have to attend the Christian Church I have been attending. So I dropped in one Sunday. First Impressions? As I pulled in the Church parking lot which promised a “Celebration” the first thing I noticed was the initial 5 or 6 parking spaces you reach (in fact they are a separate cubby unto themselves) are marked in huge letters and LARGE SIGNS “Reserved For Preacher”. Imaging the type of signage that would be normally found in a Hospital Entrance for “Emergency Vehicles ONLY!”

The first thought that ran to my mind was (1) this is not very welcoming, and (2) wow – this is for the Preacher! – SHOULD be welcoming FIRST TIME VISITORS! This Preacher MUST think he is God’s Gift to his Congregation. But, I put the negative thoughts away and walked in. The inside was a nice new building, not too flashy and the people attending to the attendees were all dressed “Hip and Cool” and seemed to be tan – very tanned (in the dead of winter). Headed for the assembly hall and it was sparse, but a huge stage. Horrible chairs and they were trying to make the sermon be multi-media (as all the rage here in Texas and across the country), but they seemed to be just getting started and doing it all on a shoestring. You know, when we have the budget in the coffers, we’ll upgrade!

Then the show began. Mrs. Big Hair came out and sang. A cross between old school Tammy Faye Baker, meets John Bon Jovi on stage (since we was accompanied by a Lead Guitarists with spiked hair). After a while you learn she is the Co-Pastor (the new stage name for a Preacher’s wife). Then here comes the Preacher (who set an impression in my mind as to the HUGE state of HIS mind), and sure enough – he went right along with Smiley Tammy Faye. He was tanned, hip, cool, blinged, open shirted (did I mention the tan was fake?), multi-chained (think “Denny Terrio and Dance Fever”), expensive shoed AND the Coup-de-Grace? This guy was wearing a ROLEX and about four highly jeweled rings.

The only thing this guy did not flash was a gold-diamond-studded tooth!

His message? Well his message was about “How you need to support the church to help it grow and get God’s message out (for my Messianic Brothers and Sisters – G-d’s)”. This fellow was asking for financial support WHILE wearing thousands of dollars of expensive jewelry and clothes and working MORE on being hip than helpful. Talk about Self-Appointed and Self-Anointed. I could not leave the service fast enough and have never been back to that Church (although it is VERY convenient to my home). There was just something wrong about a Preacher wearing a Rolex with his WELCOME TO MY RESEVERVED PARKING SPACE Church. It did not set well with me.

Now why would I write about this story IF it happened last winter? First, I Jesus was here now – he would be hanging out with me! Why? Not because I am good or great, but because I am SO SINFUL, have such a dark past AND can think and act on some pretty horrible things. I embrace it. Jesus would be working on me to make an example out of me. I would embrace him! So with that said, I don’t write this from a “hoity toity” position, but from a lay man – bonafide sinners position. Give me a Preacher who is grounded and real, not caught is in Consumerism. Give me a Pastor who I can emulate his actions not his dress code and jewelry habits. Let me hear from a Rabbi who has “been there and done that” only to become better, not one who has “big hair and dresses PHAT!” I want my Cha-Ching to bless the Church NOT the Preacher’s Bling-Bling! Know what I mean?

Oh, I almost forgot. Why would I just now write about this Sad Secularized Preacher experience, when this all happened month’s ago?

I ran into to him at the car wash this morning. Him fresh out of his service, holding court with a really shapely young thing, goo-gooing and gaga-ing over his tan body and bleached teeth. Not that there was anything really wrong with that – she was cute. But he was just getting his NEW BMW 760 Li Sedan MSRP $118,900 -cleaned and waxed EVEN THOUGH THE PAPER PLATES were 10 DAYS OLD! Am I being too cynical? What do you think?

Things Are NOT Always As They Seem

2006-04-04T17:04:00.000-07:00

I did an interview for the Wall Street Journal the other day. Spent over an hour on the phone rehashing the Dot Bomb Era and and my own Pussy Galore ;} a.k.a CueCat with a rather personal online reporter.

Seems I am always being interviewed about the Digital Days and it always seems most start out wanting to dish the same dirt, but after awhile many realize there really was something there and unique and that - that point in time in history was very unique - and there is a bigger story than the 'World's Greatest Salesman Sells The World" angle-slash-hack-dot-bust one.

Timing is everything. Just ask Bill Gates. I ran into him in Dallas while he was here for a Microsoft Conference, and I could not help over breakfast reflect on the THREE BILLS. No, not the "Queer as a Three Dollar Bill" saying that really fits well with the lifestyle of most local magazine and rag newspaper editors, but the THREE DIFFERENT BILLS, i.e., (1) Bill the Billionaire, (2) Bill the "I want to own the world" fictitious character made use by sexually repressed Geeks who "Love to Hate", and (3) Bill the real guy who eats breakfast just like all of use, and puts his clothes on just like all of us. Thus the saying:

THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS AS THEY SEEM

When I was on ABC and FOX TV and doing the Internet Correspondent Reporting gig, all I would hear about was "Bill Gates wants to own the World", "Bill Gates is the Anti-Christ", "Microsoft wants to monitor all you do on your PC" and I can relate to my own Pussy Galore Experiences and realize, that no matter what you do, no matter how well (or poor) you do it, there are ALWAYS more people who want to shoot you down rather than boost you up. This seems to be especially true of "Geeks Hiding Behind Computers", "Local Market Rag Writers" and "Jump On The Band Wagon - Can't come up with an original idea of my own Bloggers and Flops"- case and point - an old employee who I had remove Gargoyle Statues from his office 8 years ago and he STILL post about that today! That's ALOT of wasted time and thought on something as insigificant as me and the act which I committed. Get a life.

That brought my Bill Gates reflection into sharp focus: " Thought Leaders forging pathways will sometimes fail, but the true failures are those who can't muster an original thought!"

So BILL #2 is really a myth and a geek form of "true penis envy", and as Bill Gates SHOULD say, "You don't need a big Dong, when you have a billion bucks!" Take that envious hate posters!

But BILL #1 is Real. He is a mega-Billionaire, but BEFORE he IS Bill Gates the Billionaire he WAS and IS and ALWAYS WILL BE, Bill Gates the real guy. Great mind, great drive, father, husband and now benevelonant benefactor to the world.

We really owe much to Bill, Steve and crew because with out them there would quite possible be NO Internet, no blogs, no email and no DIGITAL anything. In fact, IF it was not for BILL, geeks could not post HATE MESSAGES about Bill and Microsoft. Gives you pause. Think about it. He takes the heat and verbal abuse for doing a great job and making a million at a, and bec use he did what he did, you can post all kinds of "free-speech-hate". It's kinda like thinking about all the wires it takes just to make a wireless network. One was real work and the other we now take for granted.

So the point? It's easy to bitch, moan, complain, play the race card, skip school for meaningless protests and post anonmous post, but it's far far harder to create something from the ground up, leave your mark on the world and keep having great ideas for the world to develop.

As for me? No bitch, no moan, my time is too precious. There is ALWAYS MORE THAN MEETS the eye - even in the photo above.

Do something - Create Something!

Man or Myth?

2005-12-21T19:43:00.000-08:00

To start this post off correctly I have to thank Nate (see previous article's response) who actually gave me the idea for this article.

You see, Nate posted a response to one of my articles, and like thousands of others they "think" they know me and who I am - or more importantly what I stand for. Nate thought he (or she) knew me and asked me -

"nate_public said...
Hey, it's the cuecat dude! I just found this site. I can't believe you're actually blogging. And I REALLY can't believe you have kids, man, that sucks. What do they think about you? Do you tell them you're an award-winning visionary, an accomplished businessman, and a former "sex-master"? This is hilarious, seriously. I still think this is all just a slashdot prank. If it is, it's freaking funny."

Thus, the article topic "Man or Myth?" I find that most people either know me from my television program or my film work OR they know me from my Technology days and the vapid press flurry that ensued going from Wall Street Golden Boy Paper Billionaire to Technology Titanic. Either way, most THINK they know me. Here's how I look at it.

You can't chart new waters without making waves, and that's what I do - chart NEW waters.

My skill set is boldness, vision, massive creativity, guts, balls (big ones), determination and drive. So I am the guy who takes a vision and makes it happen. That's why we created and syndicated the 6th longest running episodic television program right here in Dallas WITHOUT the help of Hollywood and NYC. It took guts and tons of naive ignorance. But on the other hand, I admire people who can do what I can't...like those who take pleasure in serving people everyday, i.e., waitstaff. I could no more smile, run food and drinks back and forth and deal with all kinds of intolerant people. NOW THAT TAKES GUTS! I could never do that.

I can do what I do - build million dollar opportunites out of nothing, in my sleep. To me it's fun and not even working. But I could never serve people, run a restaurant, be a police officer (they do NOT get enough credit), work in the Texas heat on a Texas Highway or anything like that. The people that do that are the real myth's - "How and the hell can they put up with it?"" I salute, honor and have immense respect for what you do.

So yeah, you may read about me with Steven Speilberg or me having such a powerful meeting that the President of Coke said "He set my hair on fire!", but that's what I do. BUT most of all THAT IS NOT WHO I AM. I am a father first and foremost. Simple man, simple taste and very contrary to popular opinion and press - A VERY laidback guy (now). I am closer to the GOOD'Ol BOY fishing on the weekends (see attached article photo) than the Super Human - Fearless and Dangerous Myth that seems to be forever lurking over my shoulder or creeping up behind me all the time (see attached article photo).

I walk my son to and from school. When I have my son I don't do metings, dates, conferences or travel. I MUST have Starbucks every morning. Usually in bed by 9:00 p.m. Cook for myself and have no household help or nanny's for me or my son (yes, there was the period I had 5 full time household staff, but now I am REAL and not tying to be something I am not). I am one of over 160 Grand, Great Grand and Great Great Grand Children. I still say Yes Sir and Yes Mam. I won't walk into a friends or family members home without them opening the door first (It's a respect issue). I pull over -Highway or not- for a Funeral Procession passing by and turn my headlights on out of respect. I don't zip in and out of traffic. I don't speed. Two beers has me spinning. I'm still to shy to ask a beautiful woman out even when I have the urge (and I have missed many opportunites that way). When I am with someone and they take a cell phone call I leave the table or room so they can have some privacy. There is NO alcohol at ANY of my family functions. My Grandmother still ruled the house at 103 (God Bless her soul). I still tell my 73 year old dad I love him and kiss him when I see him. I journal daily and have for years. I pray many times A DAY. I attend Church, both Christian and Messianic Jewish Temple. I read a book a week on average.

In all, I am an VERY average guy who has and has had a BIG career. But the career is just that - a career- NOT who I am. I am simple and nothing special. The fact that I am one of the Top 3 "searched for" Internet inquiries in D/FW (see D Magazine) really freaks me out! Why am I news? Who cares about me being seen at a restaurant having lunch?

I am a normal guy - don't date around- party or such. Homebody. You would more likely catch me on a tractor in the field or with my son out, than at a Paris Vendome or Nakita's. But, one thing I have learned is Myth's are hard to kill. So to those who think they know the Myth -IF you see me out and about, come up introduce yourself and get to know the real guy. And to those who know the real me and have taken the time to get to discover and explore the real me- Thanks and I love ya for it!

Shoot To Kill? -vs.- Shoot To Wound?

2005-12-08T13:19:00.000-08:00

For a period in my Executive life I was on a plane 200 plus days a year. Yep, if you sat in American Airlines seat 4A, you sat in my bed! In fact, I used to travel so much that in order to feel "normal" at dinner I had to sit in a recliner and be served with plastic utensils. So, when I say "I know about flying- I know about flying!"

Now I did MOST of my "stressed out" traveling during my CueCat days, so I also know about TRAVELING+ Being Stressed Out!. And, even though I have never "shot to kill" (unless you count my teen Bambi hunting days), I do know quite ALOT About "Shooting To Wound". The shooting to wound I know of well is what journalists, former employees and pot-shot takers do to me, when they all try to paint me as "CueCat Pitch Man" or the real "Scanner Darkly" (wonder if Keannu Reeves is playing my part?). All these posts and "real looking" news stories are done to "wound" me. So even though it's not a gunshot, I know about someone taking shots at me.

But, man... add up Airline+Post 9/11+Stressed Out Nut+Bomb Threat+New Air Marshals and that EQUALS a very combustible situation!

When on a flight - in uncertain times- your mind can play tricks on you. Let me explain.

In the early 90's I was on a flight from Atlanta to Washington DC. I am sitting in the third row of Delta First Class. So there is one row behind me and two rows in front of me. I happen to be reading Time Magazine about the on going war in the Middle East that George Sr. (President then) had the US engaged in. Reading about War and "potential terrorists" at that time had me a little freaked. Then it happened...

Just about that time a man, wearing very dark sunglasses and a long trench coat (even though it was not cold) boarded and sat in the First Class window seat just ahead of me. He was sweating profusely and sat down in a rush. I initially though he had just run the terminal to make the flight and was worn out. I felt his pain. Then he did something really strange.

He took out a small brown bag which seems to have a box inside of it. He placed it right on the floor underneath his seat and then placed his foot on it - almost in a tip-toe fashion. This began to worry me. Then he began to bite his nails, sweat even more and look out his window onto the tarmac (I could see his face between the back of his seat and his window). His actions really were beginning to stress me out.

Then all of a sudden, a hand was thrust in front of my face, and with a recognizable Southern Drawl, I heard "Shake my hand- I am going to be flying with you today". I looked up and to my amazement it was former President Jimmy Carter. Here we has, in the flesh, shaking my hand. His did the same all throughout the airplane (I was nothing special) and then he came back up front and sat down right behind me with a Secret Service Agent and then another Secret Service Agent sat next to me.

Then we began to taxi down the runway. I noticed the sweating man ahead of me, sweating even more and making sure his package did not slip or rattle about the cabin. I thought to myself "Great he's a mad-man, he has a bomb in that small wrapped brown paper package and he somehow KNEW President Carter was going to be on that plane with us today!" MY MIND WAS RACING!

Now I am thinking to myself, "How do I tell the Secret Service Agent beside me about this man in front of us - who was certainly up to no good- WITHOUT tipping my hand that I had discovered his plot - only to have him trip the bomb as soon as he heard me spill the beans to the Secret Service Agent?" I am sure you could relate to my situation. Just about the time I figured that I COULD tell the Government Agent about this fellows intentions, Mr. Sweaty picked up his package carefully and started to slide out the box as IF was full of Nitro ready to explode. NOW my heart was reaching and I almost blurted out what I was thinking, but my cool James Bond thinking kicked in and I kept it on the down low.

I slid to my right, turned to my left and was now almost square in my seat facing Mr. Secret Service. Ready to spill the beans AND dive across President Carter from over the seat as IF this would save him and for that matter me, from this obvious bomb on the plane. I figured I had to time it right. And with every beat of my heart Mr. Sweaty took another step to detonate his package. Thumb, He slide out a box of some sort. THUMP THUMP, he handles the box carefully and sets it on his tray table. THUMP THUMP THUMP, he starts to open it and set it off. My mouth starts to blab to the AGENT and then WHAM..... we hit turbulence, his package drops and his...... bottle of Jack Daniels goes spilling everywhere and he - Mr. Sweaty - scrambles to recover it and get some ingested before the carpet drinks it all down! I was so embarrassed I just wanted to put the Puke Bag over my head and hide!

Mr. Nervous, strange acting, take special care of the mysterious package, was only coveting his booze and eagerly waiting to be airborne to pull it out and take a swig. THANK GOD, I did not spill the beans and join the P.L.O.- P.W.W.C. T.- Presidential List of Potential Wackos With Conspiracy Theories.

Moral of the story? Air travel causes stress. Weird acting people cause stress. These terroristic times cause stress and when they collide they can add up to trouble. How does this relate to "Shoot To Kill" or "Kill To Wound"?

Well, IF Mr. Sweaty had really had a bomb, I know the only real option would be for Mr. Secret Service to Shoot To Kill - preferably a bullseye headshot, because shooting only to wound would of gave Mr. Sweaty time to find his package on the floor, get under the seat while we all scrambled to get him, and he SURELY could of detonated the bomb! Bye, Bye Plane, Jovan, Secret Service, Mr Sweaty and Mr. President.

So, given a REAL VERBAL BOMB threat and an uncontrollable passenger who would not cooperate - SHOOT TO KILL. The good of 250 other lives on the airplane out weight the one.

TO Mr. American Airlines Air Marshall, You made the right choice for your charge - the passengers of the flight. I pray for your strength as the world puts you on display and the media "Shoots to Wound You", but in the end it's just paper cuts!

God bless America and God Bless YOU!

Is One's WORD Worth Anything Anymore?

2005-12-03T07:12:00.000-08:00

As a divorced father, one thing I work on with my young son is, "knowing that your word is everything and when you give someone your word it is a powerful bond and contract".

Now when my precious son has something to declare or share with me and it is critically important, he will sometimes enforce the fact "I give you my word". Especially when he is making a promise I know the intensity with which he makes the promise when he states "I give you my word". It makes me proud that my - 9 days a away from being 7 years old son - knows that living by ones' word is a powerful-powerful thing.

But on the other side of this coin, there is the nation and people- at large. One's word has become meaningless. People will regularly say something with no intent to back it up, make it happen or live to it. I have seen it in politicians, families, teachers, businessmen and sometimes professed Christians. Why do I add that last bit? Professed Christians? Because, I sometimes think that Christians believe they can make a promise, not keep it, and because they are "Christians" they have the right to NOT keep their word, and they can just ask for forgiveness later and all is supposed to be forgiven. This IS NOT what was intended. This IS NOT where the meaning even came from. Keeping one's word is BIBLICALLY based. God's DIVINE WORD BASED.

Giving ones word should be as powerful as putting one's hand on the bible. It's the whole reason in a court of law we put our hand on the bible and swear to give honest testimony...Our word!

In the days of old, one would be killed for NOT keeping their word. Nowadays, not keeping one's word is white-washed with "sorry I forgot", "I don't remember saying that" and other poor lies (I won't say they are excuses, because they are just lies), but since society no longer puts values on one's words, there is no punishment for not keeping ones words.

For me, my word is everything. A few years ago I was facing bankruptcy. I could of followed the norm and ditched my debts and whipped the proverbial slate clean, but...when sitting down with my banker that had my mortgage I told him "I am not going into bankruptcy no matter what...I give you my word". IT was hard, but I dug myself out. I KEPT my word, even thought there is whole legal system system set up to just dropped debts and say "sorry, I could not keep my word".

You see, from politicians to debts, our secular society has now embraced the idea that our words mean nothing and we do not have to keep them. I say, keep only friends, advisors and associates who KNOW the meaning and commitment of keeping one's word. Those are who you march in life with.

From there, teach your children the value of "giving and keeping one's words", and maybe, just maybe - "keeping one's word can make a comeback - one child at a time". WHAT DO YOU THINK?

The Religion of Leftism

2005-11-29T17:50:00.000-08:00

For the past few weeks now we have been hearing various Left-Senators call for "An Immediate Withdraw from Iraq", but just the other day Joe Leiberman (a Left Senator) spoke of how we would be "fools to conduct an immediate withdraw from Iraq and that such a withdraw would be devastating to the people and progress of Iraq". Same party - radically different views!

Such conversation and ideas started me thinking about how "leftism" seems to of lost its ability to use common sense and judgment when looking at and evaluating an idea. Yes, I am a conservative and what makes me a conservative is when I cross-check my personal values and beliefs against what each party focuses on politically. So, I fall within the conservative category.
Thus, there is were I cast my voice- my vote.

In my personal opinion, how can someone not be for God, Freedom, Family and Country? But, there are stranger things in this Universe - like... did you know a 14 year old must get a parental consent form signed to tan at the local tanning salon in some communities, due to the dangers of skin cancer? Yet, this same young girl can go around the corner and get an abortion and not have her parents notified!

Just that ONE example - to me (and maybe only to me) screams how what were originally good intentions have become a fanatical religion. It seems that common sense and facts don't and won't prevail as long as it's "Cool and hip to be LEFT". America's secular society's need to "fit in and be seen as hip" has lead them down a path where they will fight for a horned owl more than the life of a human being. Or, better said, where the need for parental approval and guidance to avoid SKIN CANCER trumps parental guidance and approval to avoid ABORTION.

God, what is wrong with us? How did soft fluffy issues become the basis of one's religion?

There are many who will die for a tree, owl, fish or obscure insect before they would die for the greatest country on the Planet. We used to die for God and Country - Values and Morals. When did it change? This both concerns me and perplexes me.

Can Sin and Catastrophe be Synonymous?

2005-09-07T11:45:00.000-07:00

It seems like this millennium has brought with at many events that will go down in history as huge disasters or catastrophes, i.e., 9/11, the Tsunami and NOW the washing away of New Orleans.

While driving this morning listening to some of my favorite talk radio hosts, a recurring theme kept popping up it's head - "Could Sin and Catastrophe be Synonymous?" Hand in hand with this questions was "If there is a God, how could he let something like this happen to innocent people?" Each of these are great questions to ponder.

Let's dissect these a little? I will take the last question as the first question - "If there is a God, how could he let something like this happen?" For the first part of my answer to this question, I will hearken back to a dinner event I attended with Alan Dersowitz.

This dinner was held just before the O.J. Simpson verdict was handed down and Dersowitz was the guest speaker. During an after dinner conversation Mr. Dersowitz shared the following astute observation, "Even as horrible as the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson was, that single event will forever change the way forensic investigations are handled. And, as a result, society as a whole will benefit from the happening of that single tragic event." Those words rang true for me then and today, looking back over the tragic events of this new millennium, ring even more true.

As a DIRECT RESULT of 9/11 the aviation and national security programs are forever changed and better. It's unlikely (although not altogether impossible) for another 9/11 to happen again today. Why? We have better security at our airports and mostly because, both passengers and flight crews will no longer and sit quite and cooperative if a hijacking is taking place. The standard has changed. Just like what Dershowitz was talking about.

The Tsunami that killed thousands and thousands will most likely NEVER happen again because the victimized countries now have or are working on "early warning systems". The tragic event has forever changed the future. Just as Dershowitz predicted in the O.J. Simpson case.

Now there is New Orleans and Katrina. As of this blogging, they are predicting as many as 10,000 dead as a result of Katrina. This horrific event will change MANY things, i.e., Hurricane Warning Systems, Flood Control in below sea level areas, Disaster Response, Local Disaster Preparedness and even Disaster Survivor Management. Every single one of this areas, and many more that I am not listing here, will be FORCED to change for the better as a DIRECT RESULT of the wrath of Katrina. So now to the question: "If there is a God, how could he let something like this happen?"

Let's break this down. Who failed here? God or Man? The bible states that God gave man dominion over the Earth and it is up to us to tame it. With that said, did God build poor levies in the New Orleans area? No man did. Did God keep from updating the levies and ignore warning that there could potentially be a problem in the event of a major storm? No man did. Did God cause New Orleans residents to poo-poo evacuation announcements and try to ride out the storm at home? No man chose his and her own path here. Did God make the bulk of the Katrina victims be poor and live on the dependent dole of democracy? No God demands we make our own way and prosper, so really mankind is to blame for encouraging a system of dole dependency and literally hobbling these poor inner-city welfare dwellers.

The way I see it is "man and money are the root of everything that happened". Man simply did not want to spend the money to make things right and thus thousands are dead as a result. It was just like a conversation I had with a dear, dear female friend of mine. Beautiful, fit, multi-lingual, Ivy League educated AND Atheist (well is 4 out of 5 that bad? - in this case a BIG NO GO), anyway she had just seen Mel Gibson's The Passion and she said it made her feel, but then she had to think about why so many get killed by "Acts of God" (her point of reference here is she lived in Mexico and watched thousands die in earthquakes and landslides). So I pointed out that it was man who had his brother living in squalor or built cheap building fast with no regard for earthquake codes, thus man was the true one responsible for the deaths. Once again that "money and man conundrum".

So in my view, man and man's ways are to blame for the huge death tools. Not wanting to spend the money on warning systems in the Tsunami event. Not wanting to improve levies in New Orleans case. Political Correctness in 9/11's case and I could go on and on. Money and man and man's pursuit of money and power.

So that's my case for blame. Not President Bush or God, but Mankind as a whole. We enable entitlement, unaccountably, decadence and secularism. As far as the question "Can sin and catastrophe be synonymous (or better said - connected)?

As horrible as it is, the effects of Katrina was a purge of a broken system. No, I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT DEATH HERE, those who died is certainly a tragic event, but what I MEAN is thousands upon thousands where purged from New Orleans into other states and systems that do not necessarily encourage "dole dependences" like Louisiana did. They WILL go out, find new homes, make their way, find new jobs and create NEW lives WITH THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS of other Americans helping them along the way. Many for the first time in generations will support themselves, make their own way and break the chains of entitlement for their future generations. AND THAT IS A GOOD THING. Katrina WILL bring about good, it's just hard to see right now.

As far as sin, I really don't know on this one. All I do know is, in the TV business we have always had our national conventions in New Orleans. Part of the draw (and all who are honest will tell you) to New Orleans was GREAT sex, group sex, gay sex, food, drugs and alcohol and an anything goes "air" about the city. Except this time the "Girls didn't GO WILD- the forces of nature did!" AND, it just happened that the day Katrina hit was supposed to be "Southern Decadence Day" an annual, long running Gay Parade and 5 day party. Known for naked flesh, out in the open acts of oral sex and sodomy for all to see, rate, grade or participate in. Coincidence or Synonymous? Who knows?

Are We Raising Boys To Be Men Anymore?

2005-07-17T18:12:00.000-07:00

This past Fourth of July (my favorite holiday - FYI) my 6 year old son and I went to the Texas Hill Country to celebrate with family. Particularly his 4 young cousins. I work very hard to make sure my son stays connected to his extended family. A trait, I have found, NOT to be the norm for us living in large metropolitan areas, but that's another BLOG.

When I was younger and growing up in the Texas Hill country, a typical summer day was getting up, getting fed and running down to the river where we would spend all day in the Texas sun, swimming in the river, jumping out of 50 foot tall Cypress trees or plunging from the cut cliffs overlooking the river. This was something I wanted my son to experience. Hopefully for him too, this would become one of his fondest memories.

For me, the only thing that topped those summer memories was when such activities happened to fall on the Fourth of July weekend. But, I started noticing a disturbing trend while standing in line at the fireworks vendor on the side of the Texas Highway. What was this disturbing trend?

I witnessed, at least a hand full of young boys (from 8 to 14), making their selections of fireworks only to hear them order or express that they wanted things that "sparkled or smoked but really didn't pop, explode or make a loud noise!" WHAT??? Isn't that EXACTLY what you go to the fireworks store for when you're a young boy. I remember having to be toned down by my elders and told to be careful, YET now boys seem neutered!

Boys who are afraid of pops, bangs, explosions and loud noises? What was the common dominator of these boys? Coifed hair, gel, mouse, baggy pants, with nothing out of place and bracelets and necklaces. Should we say, budding METROSEXUALS. I could not believe it. And, to look at their parents I saw, coifed hair, perfect clothes, loafers (without socks), the right European Car and the perfect affected pose and English. I could hear these parents in my head telling these boys, "Now Johnny, WE don't play Cowboy and Indians. That's not politically correct and besides what WE did to the Indians is just unacceptable". This image was reaffirmed in my head when they drove off in their European car that sported a Major University alumnae Sticker and a Kerry-Edwards sticker.

Have we forgot that boys are SUPPOSED to want to conquer, claim and attempt feats of daring to prove their own worthiness to THEMSELVES? Have we forgot that even IF you NEVER show your son a gun, a show about guns or play guns with him, that he will strip the slice of cheese from his sandwich and nibble it into the shape of a gun and start shooting it at the table? GOD MADE BOYS THAT WAY!!

This all made me wonder if my precious son would be considered weird or strange in the first grade BECAUSE he loves to play guns, be the hero and dream about saving the day and human kind? Never-the-less, we went on to my Aunt's ranch, popped the firecrackers (and I even showed my son and his cousins how to bore a hole in a Hill Country Road Side Gourd, stuff it with a Black Cat firecrackers, and the light it, only to wait until the exact right moment to hurl it at an unsuspecting family member. The result? GOURD GUTS GALORE - all over one's clothes - great fun!).

The next day, when we went to the river. I took my 6 year old son and two of his similar aged cousins ( a boy and a girl) and then we collectively jumped off the 30 foot cliffs down into the river. Boy was it fun and exciting. We all struggled up the bank to get to the cliff because the ONLY way you could reach the perch is to swim over, pull yourself up on exposed Cypress roots, and then drag your body up the very steep incline. But we made it.

I loved the fact my precious son was doing the EXACT same childhood things I was. It made me proud to see my son tackle the feat as I waited below to help him (IF NEEDED). It was a double pleasure to see HIS FACE after he did it and conquered HIS fear. He just kept doing it over and over. He just kept lugging his body up that steep incline and kept jumping down into the flowing river below. It wore me out and he did it three times more than I DID!

When finished, we all swam back across the river to get ready to go home. There I was greeted by a woman and her husband asking me "Don't you think that is dangerous for kids?". I answered "I grew up doing this, in this very spot. My son wanted to do the same, plus I was there to SPOT him if anything went wrong." They looked at me and frowned. As we walked away, I watched their son (was was about 15) take the "rope swing" from the side of the bank, climb about 4 feet up the 20 foot swing perch (where you should stand), and then take several deep breaths before he swung off into the river.

Only thing is, he could not hold up his own body weight with his poor undeveloped strength and he came very near whacking his head on the bank and the tangled Cypress roots below. A 15 year old boy did not even have the strength to hold up his own weight with his own two hands. MY CASE EXACTLY!

When Family Gets Old

2005-06-30T15:42:00.000-07:00

The title is a little deceiving. "When Family Gets Old" is not a harp of being tired of family and their never ending commentary or expectations for your life, but facing the fact that "one's Family Is CHRONOLOGICALLY Getting OLD!"

My Grandmother passed last year at the age of 103. She had almost a dozen children in her lifetime, therefore I am one of over 150 grand, great-grand, great-great grandchildren. My family is HUGE.

Two weekends ago, my young son (6 years old) and I spent a week with my father and my oldest surviving uncle (Uncle Frank - 84). My father is 73 and he is the youngest son. I have already lost two uncles and this time when I went back for my annual family reunion everyone looked very age-ed. I relate this to being the first family reunion since Grandma passed.

In reality I am amazed at my Uncles and my dad. Both my father and my Uncle Frank work 12 hours days, outside, doing physical labor. They both are in incredible shape. My Uncle Frank would pass for 65 and my father (if he had his jet black hair color back) would easily pass for 50!
I was thankful my young son was bale to work side by side with them for a week. It was a great experience for him. One he will always remember. I am thankful he has gotten to know them.

But, I am saddened they are getting old. Granted, if they live into their hundreds as Grandpa and Grandma did (and even their brother and sisters lived into their 100's), there are anywhere from 16 to 27 years respectively, but still, by the traditional American Standards they are getting old.

One thing I did really ponder quite alot while I was with them. How did 6 of the brothers and sisters raise from 6 to 10 kids EACH and only the father worked and the mother stayed at home? What an accomplishment! Can we even do that anymore in America?

New Voters and what it really means to VOTE!

2004-10-05T10:29:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, in my state, it was the last day one could register to vote. I have always been a registered voter, but I just recently moved to another city and county in my state and needed to re-register. I chose to do so in person, even though I could of have done it through the mail. Simply because I did not want to trust the US Post Office and wanted to see the registration stamped valid in person.

My five year old son went with me. He was on a day off from school so he could attend our state fair, but such plans were cancled due to heavy storms that had rolled in the night before. So we headed off to the distant county court house to get "Registered To Vote". The rain storm was huge and the streets were flooded. A few times my son became very concerned about our journey and safety, but I assured him we were safe.

After getting to the courthouse, and arriving soaking wet from just running in from the parking lot, we entered the Voter Registration office to find it PACKED! Not just people trying to register, but tons of county workers. You would of thought this was a state highway project with so many workers, you know, one person doing the work and 25 people supervising. But, we got registered to vote even though our day was soaking wet.

On the way home, my young five year old son gave me the best and most sage political advice I have ever recieved. He said, "Dad, I love George W. Bush and I want him to stay President. We pray for him at night and he loves God, so I want George Bush to be our President". Besides, he continued "John Kerry shouldn't be President!" I asked my young son why? He said, "John Kerry is okay and I love the way his face goes back and fourth and he is really funny, but he should still keep on being Ace Ventura and not the President. He's better at that!".

I laughed. Of course, my son confused John Kerry with Jim Carey, but you know what? He really had it right. President George Bush is proud to proclaim his Christian Faith and his belief in God and America. John Kerry on the other hand, is more of an entertainer reading a script. A script designed to pull ratings, get views and ultimately votes. A script that will do what ever it takes to get votes, instead of what ever it takes to keep America safe and strong. His face and his positions do go back and forth and he ultimately stands for what is WRONG with America instead of what is GREAT about America.

That is what America is all about. Voting for what we believe is right, for what we live and support and if God and Faith are not at the center of that, how can we even call our vote meaningful for the future of America. God Bless America and George W. Bush.

Democratic Double Standard

2004-09-23T10:40:00.000-07:00

Let's say you where given a $100 bill. The bill is counterfeit, but you still pass it along. We all know that each of us would be criminally liable. Bottom line: in big trouble.

Isn't that EXACTLY what happened with CBS and Dan Rather? He received a bill (bill of goods, that is) knew it was at the very least questionable, and at the most total bogus - YET, he chose to still pass it off as a the real McCoy. In the real world, you and I for doing the same exact thing, we would be talking to the authorities and trying our damaged to keep our butts out of jail. Yet, when you are in the Media you can get away with it, or even pass the buck down line and not suffer any ramifications. In short, this type of "gunk" goes on all the time in the media and they keep getting way with it.

The media claim to be unbiased. Claims to verify and cross verify ALL the facts and details. And, they make this FACT a CORNERSTONE of their standing on their high-and-mighty soapbox, they THEY ARE NOT BIAS AND ONLY REPORT THE TRUTH. Well I can tell you from a first hand report, as a former media player myself, who went on to build a large company ONLY to see it go up in flames - the MEDIA does not care about truths or facts, all they care about is their personal agenda, personal politics and personal vendettas. It's the addictive power that comes from being a wimp with no life, no goals, who hates America and thinks they can play God and reach out from their computer and "pass judgment" (yes, you do detect a bitter tone to my rant here).

But how about this? How come there can't be investigators who investigate news journalist? You know, feed them a bogus-crap filled story and see if they take the bait? Give them phony phone numbers manned by associates and see IF they even try to verified a story. Catch the biased-journalist at their very own game?

America in general seem to thinks that headlines are REAL and represent facts, yet all who are educated KNOW THEY ARE NOT. Why not turn their own game on them? Unseat the old Liberal Chronies! Turn the "equal representation under the law" they so love to embrace and make sure that there is a Liberal AND Conservative view on EVERY story. Use what works on Cable TV and have all reporters be pair in polar-opposite teams. Better yet, if we are going to give someone the un-monitored power to bring stories to the public, then about how about rather than Newsgroup Affiliation like AP-UP how about they have to disclose their last 10 year Political and religious Orientation? At least that way, we can gauge their reporting by their social, political and religious thinking.

There is a germ of an idea here- let's flesh it out! What do you think?

Canceling OUT my Personal Vote - Thanks Honey!

2004-09-20T15:41:00.000-07:00

I'm 39. My daughter is 21. Guess that just proves I come from a small town. I was a small town boy who made big city good. When "poking fun" at my highschool sweetheart I got her pregnant. Weathered it all. Been there - done that. Ended up making millions, making a name for myself and building a comfortable life, but now I think I face my most formidable foe.

Have lived a very fast, very spoiled media career. While doing such, I was only focused on Money-Fame-Things and GETTING LAID. Hate to say it, but there where my chosen gods at the time. I lived in jets, limos, in corporate board rooms and even had the pleasure of meeting the likes of Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Steve Ballmer, Jack Welch - just to name a few. Doing hundred million dollar deals was easy compared to now what I face.

What is this force I now face? What is this force that has me feeling it would be easier for me to get the cast of "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy" to love sex with women? I even think it would be easier for me to get Michael Moore to lose 80 lbs and be voted "most sexiest man alive" by People Magazine than to win this battle against this known entity. Who is this formidable foe?

My beautiful educated 21 year old daughter. A liberal, by way of brainwashing.

You see, may precious first born is now going to cast her very first Presidential Vote this fall. A vote she has asserted that is all her own, not a protest against me (her conservative father - the once Secular Sex Master now turned Conservative Voice), but a VOTE for HER GUY - John F. Kerry! Puke, barf, hurl and generally try NOT to to both choke and profusely cry at the same time. This just breaks my heart.

It has become almost impossible to talk to her about it. When I bring it up, it almost always ends in disaster. In fact, I even sat down and wrote my precious daughter a 6 page letter trying to shed light on the importance of this vote - a vote for life, our nation, her future and our freedom. A vote, I suggested MUST be for George Bush. No matter what I cannot get through - thus far. I chip away daily, trying to walk the fine line between supporting and loving Dad and firm Moral Compass and Guidepost.

Now more than ever I regret my former Secular Based - Media Life. I regret my pursuit of fame and fortune at the cost of family and remaining grounded. You see, looking back I now know it cost me my daughter. Not her physically or even emotionally. Buy it cost me her spirit. Yes, she loves me and I love her, but along the way I sold out to a Secular Nation and the price I paid was my daughters' soul. My love of the "fruitless" reflected it's ugly nature in the opinions of my daughter. Now, she possess both my strength and vigilance, and she uses it to be a liberal.

Am I now forever doomed to have my personal vote for President canceled by that of my precious little girl? God give me strength and wisdom to show my precious daughter the way!
