Cee-Lo 's line "sorry, i can't afford a Ferrari" in "Forget YOU!!" is classic.
Why have i not heard it on SF bay area radio? We have a great classic rock station in 98.5FM,,, but where is the Reggae station, and the Dance song station, and the Foreign top song radio station ,,, ?? For all the Sillycon Vallay and Wine Co and SFer money, there is such limited culture in the SF Bay Area.

What can the average American do to help our Friends the average Irish, besides buy more Guinness beer, curse bankers, and cry in our beers ?
Best wishes for the New Year to Ireland and the Irish !
And the Portugal citizens who were also so welcoming to this low income traveling cheap American ,,, and the Greeks.

I hope the British public will not let the British Press do what they did to Diana to the new Kate
If i was in Britain i would be in Kate's Club: i would flash mirrors(you know, those 2sided steel camping small mirrors with a lanyard hole) in the lenses of the paperazzi ,,, and get in front of them with tongue out to ruin their photos,,, and even flash cameras in their faces to temporarily blind them as they do to their victims. Try and keep them at least 50m away with 'friendly close-knit group arms-linked walking'...teach them some manners ... with lots of polite suggestions.
Lord knows the Brits are as out of work as we are. And what they allowed last time to happen to Princess Diana should not have happened. Will and Kate deserve a private life and private spaces, tho you have a better law than we Yanks do on that subject of individual privacy. More must be done by you everyday Brits !!
And of course, no violence. Not even any civil disobedience. Just public courtesy, that biz seems to be so lacking of. What do you do when you see an old tottering person trying to cross the street? You help them across if they accept your offer. What do you do when you see a scruffy teen purse snatch or pick a pocket? You insist they give it back, or you'll call a bobby. What do you do when you see a pack of ruffians bump a little old man off the side walk falling to his face? You tell the rat-pack to get some manners and help the old fellow up and ask if he need medical or other assistance. Common public decency, that the British are so famous for. Maybe not the Irish, but the British, most definitely.
All the best, Will and Kate !! Protect young love and your monarchy !!

What i want for Christmas ,,, The RNC has the extreme Tea Party, so i want separate from the DNC a Progressive, Fiscally Responsible ,Green, USA jobs first ,end Effectless Wars Party
One that will do more than one thing at once ... like start fixing all the USA infrastructure and hire millions of out of work Americans AND re-do the tax code.
And remove any ceiling from SSN taxes. And tax the hell out of anyone making more than $1M/year.
And remove Trick Dick Nixon's limit on BP like oil environmental disasters. And tax,fine and eliminate any company that tries to poison the public and the USA long term without any corporate responsibility, like Silicon Valley. Bigger fines get bigger responsible action !! No more pandering to Wall Street. White collar crime will no long be encouraged and tolerated. Long jail terms for all the Madoff's and Delays. Very very long terms in no luxury prisons.
And if you want to import some dumb Chinese national instead of hire an out of work American, it is going to cost you lots. And like western Europe , fix our porous borders.
A Party with principles and spine, heart and guts.

COMCAST,Nov.2010 ... Call their Customer Service, in MEXICO, and ALWAYS hear "due to LARGER THAN NORMAL CALL VOLUMES AT THIS TIME" really, really?! ... and talk after a 3-5min. wait to a polite Mex. guy who does not know what he is doing, like deleting a favorite list,,,UGH
Comcast's on screen programming is SO HORRIBLE ...
so archaic ...
And the remote has 53 buttons ...REALLY?!! We /Comcast needs 53 buttons after the basic 10 on the keypad ... REALLY ?!!
It is bad enuf we have to call Mexico from California ,when so many are out of work (HP fired over 30,000 employees). And these 'old timers' in Mexico don't even know how to do something as basic as ... delete a favorite list. I was told to menu button and favorite icon ... but should have used menu button and then menu icon to select setup of the screen choices and go on to select 'setup favorite list' !! Dumb dumb dumb Mexicans and lousy Comcast customer service !!
And Congress and we Americans are depriving worthy American students of a good high school education by letting administrators not be professionally accountable/fired for school performance ... and college tuition ,too expensive!!, to rise too high for most hard working, ambitious, honest American students.
"DUMB-ass America" ?!!
... Really !!

"DUMB-ass America" ?!!
... Really !!
After being drafted for Vietnam, in 50 years sorry to say, all the American spilled blood and wasted $Trillions of tax dollars probably WILL NOT MEAN A THING .
There is the massive corruption, the low level of public education, the poverty of few very rich and many very poor in most backward countries, and the religious intolerance of radical terrorist Islam in the Middle East and countries like Iraq and Afghanistan and Pakistan and Iran and ...
What a waste.
What a waste.
COMCAST , Nov.2010, makes you pay $99 ,plus $5 box rental!!, for digital and HD tv ... then hides the HD as a second choice in the 700s !!
I am now watching hot-Maggie on CBS Early Show on Channel 5 , "KPIX" ... but i have to go all the way down the list , not the next channel space !! , to channel number 705 !! , "KPIXD". THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING.
Comcast , why can't i select HD as my first choice, and only see those channels ? And see just digital channels if there is no HD for that channel ?? THAT WOULD BE THE LOGICAL THING TO DO , COMCAST !!
I bought a lcd tv on one of those shopping channels , HSN or QVC , and it only had digital with analog scan so i could not just scan digital and HD programming into my tv ... and i could not separate them !! And the shopping tv channel did not tell me this , plus gave me a hellacious time returning the weak transitional tv from years ago technology.
Why isn't cable tv better? We can thank our Senators for being too weak in speaking for us , instead of corporate -campaign contributor interests !!

Nov.2010, the current TSA dust-up: First, X-ray radiation is ACCUMULATIVE ... Second, the everybody pat downs are a CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION , clear. And TSA has major security holes EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT ON TV NEWS like unscanned cargo in the belly of passenger planes. SO WHY THIS HARASSMENT MISDIRECTION POLITICAL MOVE ... NOW ?!!
Even my dentist has told me that dental x-ray radiation is accumulative with each exposure in our bodies. So he has backed off teeth x-raying me not just once a year, but once every three years.
And now the TSA wants to irradiate ALL OF US, ALL THE TIME , EVERY TIME WE GO TO FLY AT ANY AIRPORT, NO EXCEPTIONS ...OH, AND AN $11,000 FINE IF YOU REFUSE FOR ANY REASON.
Let's see ,,, who are these recently unemployed, low training , low pay , new employees who now have so much power to ruin all flyer's days, for the millions of people who fly every day ?
Have you not read a newspaper of all the FAILURES of the TSA to catch training runs with empty guns and dull knives ?? Didn't you hear about how unsafe the cargo area is ?!!
And after the 2008 Democrat win, TSA is not going the computer-based , logical threat policy fork in the trail ... but further down the illogical , x-ray and intimate pat down everyone , even children under 12 at first and pilots , until they protested. And active military ... and veterans ?!!
Civilized western european travelers are already pissed off at the visa limitations ... and now this !! We are going to lose more and more big cash paying travelers to the USA if we continue much longer with this no logic-scan everyone (dumb ass) security policy.

Open letter to California's Senator Barbara Boxer: Congratulations !! on winning re-election, it was expensive tough and dirty,,, now get busy fighting for DEMOCRAT VALUES like quickly ending the unaffordable Iraq-Afgan wars, spending all that wasted money not on Defense Dept. but on rebuilding Cal. and USA infrastructure from highways to railways to gaslines to water treatment plants and removing the mothball fleet poisoning the Bay Area and a major clean-up effort on the entire Bay Area getting rid of the discarded boats w/ big fines for owners !!
Congratulations !!
Now get to work . No more procrastinating. Time is wasting. Fight for all us Democrats /Progressives / Liberals that voted for you.
Common Cause is leading the cause to take corrupting corp cash out of Congress and public funding of all elections in, so help them.
I am a Vietnam veteran Honorably Discharged and my father is a multi-decorated WW2 veteran Naval Officer who both have to comply with the irrational ineffective policies of TSA, so fight to help us keep out dignity and our 92yr old shoes and belt on so we don't have to hobble holding our pants up to fly inside the USA. TSA treating all Americans as potential terrorists is SO WRONG HEADED. What are computers and common sense for ?
The State of California is on the verge of collapse and in financial ruin. Please help new Governor Jerry Brown. DMV should be closed as too many of its employees do not like the public or their jobs and are infamous for selling phony drivers licenses ,,, and for me , stealing by double charging vehicle registration annual fees. Also CalTrans should be closed after their costly , multi-billion loss incompetent leadership of the Bay Bridge 1989 repair and oops replacement fiasco. We can not afford the state luxury of incompetent and enormously wasteful departments like the DMV and CalTrans , that can be and should be contracted out , since they do not perform well for decades. We quickly fired Gov. Gray Davis but did not re-regulate home gas and electric costs:My 92yr old parents now pay $400 /mo for gas and electricity in san jose for a 3br-2ba house ,,, before they turn the a/c on for ww2 veteran dad's health and $100 /mo. for water . GET BUSY !!
The tax code needs to be returned to common sense and massive progressive taxes that the super-rich can afford tho they greedy child decline. How embarrassing for a adult AMERICAN to stand up and say i get over $1M/yr in pay and am worth over many $Millions, but i don't want to pay my fair share of taxes. SO LET'S HEAP ON THE PUBLIC RIDICULE AND EMBARRASSMENT IF THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT.
Please keep reminding us all that the Republican Party ruled Congress for over 8 years and did whatever they wanted that resulted in NEAR NATIONAL FINANCIAL COLLAPSE and TOTAL FAILURE. Please keep reminding the President and the public voters, us.

Google is ending 'Goog411' on 11Nov2010,,,free voice phone info service,,,for no good reason,,,THAT IS JUST PLAIN 'MEAN'
Instead of paying $1.50 for each 411 call , we non-smart phone users will be at a bigger disadvantage.
Like Australia, let any cell plan sell iPhone and Android phones, Congress, and let's be more fair !!
Google says they regret data mining while street-view filming all over the world. Prove it, Google.

4NOV2010,,,And the Republicans are STILL CONFUSED and think they WON, when they are STILL THE MINORITY,,, oh, and the Earth is flat again, the Sun rises from the still racist South, and there is but one true Prophet and his name is Boehner!
Be ready for filibusters,,,and lots of similar "b.s." from the 'still minority and not in Presidency' Republicans!
How they can extrapolate or scheme that the election 'means that Americans don't want ObamaCare and the BushJR tax cuts for the ridiculously super rich to expire after 10 TOO LONG YEARS of 700 BILLION IN LOST TAXES',,, is par the this b.s. party but hard for normal average typical everyday sane people to understand.
HEY, LOSERS,,, MEG WHITMAN'S 142$M LOST!! ,,,AND YOUR COLDBLOODED JOB KILLER FROM H.P. CARLY FIORINA LOST!! A DEMOCRAT IS THE NEW NON-REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA!! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE , Republican LOSERS!! What, no pictures of all the Republican Losers faces ?! Post the sad mug-shots!! I want to laugh some more. This is a 2 year political war; Saddle up, Democrats.
We may still dance on the Republicans only for the rich bastards,individuals and corporations, Party's grave yet ,,, in 2 short years.

The Public voted for a BIG CHANGE ELECTION IN 2008. Lots of people , like President Obama , did NOT GET THE MESSAGE !!
The incompetent deaf and dumb Republicans lost ,,, but
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND THE F.D.A. FOOD "USE BY DATE" !? ,,,DAMMIT !!
Both the Dems and the Reps are WHORES TO CAMPAIGN CORP. CONTRIBUTORS(public funded elections) ,,, But do we really REALLY have to be so nice to robbing stealing white-collar-criminals THE BANKS !!? ,,, DAMMIT !! The banks and mortgage companies are filing FRAUDULENT OFFICIAL FORECLOSURE PAPERWORK ,,, and getting away with WHITE COLLAR STEALING THOUSANDS OF HOMES !! Why do we still allow 'a.r.m.'s to be sold when they have done and continue to do so much damage to our economy ?? Kids STILL can't take their piggy banks to any bank and get the loose coins credited to their learning to save saving account !!
The NPS sure didn't get the message about the BIG CHANGE 2008 ELECTION. They are still letting the small concessionaire in Yosemite determine customer service levels with only one Valley Tour 2 hour Tram an hour, instead of enough to meet public demand, administered by NPS. WHAT THE HELL !!?? NPS is letting a business determine National Park Policy on levels of guest/customer service !! Delaware North of NY has NO BUSINESS determining guest / customer service levels !! Are we still stuck in some sickening Republican time warp ? HELP!! Thought we kicked out those fiscally incompetent, Abramoff morally depraved, near Great Depression #2 brink irresponsible , arrogant pompous stuffed shirts that let corporations write legislation for them ? Didn't we ?
And no 'public option', in spite of all that TALK. Months and months of just talk.
And a failed to make us safer foreign war/s,,,when our national infrastructure is CRUMBLING,,, and we could be hiring millions of Americans to fix it !!,,, but continue to waste billions/trillions on Pentagon spending with no permanence , like a highway bridge in Min./Wis. that won't fall down. FIX THE CRUMBLING NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE FROM EXPLODING GAS 30" MAINS TO FALLING DOWN BRIDGES TO LEAKING REDWOOD CITY SEWAGE PLANTS TO ALL OF IT !! NOW NOW NOW !!
And fix the border,,,stop illegal crossing ,,, and stop the Supreme Court from misinterpreting the 14th on post-Civil War slaves and renegade southeast states NOT giving citizenship!! to babies from illegal visitors !! Geesh, how dubm and dangerous for democracy. Also ,ideologue idiots ,,, CORPORATIONS = not !! People .
Where are the progressive taxes ,,, and the end to this lie folly of BushJR tax cuts benefiting the superrich ?? Now lets tax severely their Millions and Billions in ass-ets !!
WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE 2008 ELECTION ,,,DOES ANYONE REMEMBER HOW BAD EVERYTHING WAS? ,,, ARE WE SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER ?
Can we please now scrap failed BART and just buy a Japanese bullet train off the shelf ? Can we have our 2/6ths or 2/8ths lanes back in NorCal for the failure of diamond lanes meant for SoCal ? Can we finally get rid of Republican donothin' California Governors, Forever?
Can we flush Sacramento ,,, and start over ,,,with 100% public sunshine and honesty ? Can we get high speed trains to LA and SAC when we don't need to fly such short distances ? Can the gov. get us more clean diesels like Europe in our cars so we have more choice ? i want a new tech clean diesel option in every car, not just 'premium or regular gas engine?' ,,, or 'just premium engine'. King salmon have not recovered fast enough, so when is state/federal govt going to do enough to FULLY RESTORE SALMON SACRAMENTO FISHERY !? Why are the eastcoast and westcoast fisheries all 70% still in decline ,,, !??

DWTS,,,2010,,,It is the SOFT-TOUCH judges FAULT that Audrina got voted off so early, too early
All 3 judges are way too soft on all the don't try / lots of excuses / too out of shape / too old / can't feel the music/beat for another Superbowl ring ,,, contestants !!
There is no way Audrina should have been sent home this early, but because the other contestants scores were too 'kind' inflated, this situation has happened again !!
Audrina, you did great ,,,not much 'chemistry' flirting with your partner tho,,, not much confidence when you are young and fit and beautiful and coordinated and Lauren's friend ,,, and not nearly enough smiles and changes of expression in your joy of dancing ,,, but still , it was mainly the 3 judges mistake unfair that it is that sent you home early.

bicycle,,,California's Highway 1,,,long distance,,,and carry 100-140 POUNDS IN PANNIERS,,,What the HE-LL are you THINKIN ?!!
I see a lot of couples lately bicycling long long distances AND carrying way too much gear. After one hikes the John Muir Trail over 12,000 ft peaks in the Sierras with an 80 pound pack,,,you might start to get interested in "light backpacking" !! One of the most beautiful peaceful hikes in the world , and you can't enjoy it because you brought everything,,, including the KITCHEN SINK, it feels as you are bent over every day, staring at the dirt track , NOT THE FABULOUS VIEWS. So why do it at all ,,, if it is just going to be a grunt? And you are going to be miserable under such a backbreaking load,,, every ,,, day ? Doesn't make much sense ,,, does it,,,?
Take it from someone who bicycled from the Bay Area in Cal. up to N. British Columbia and across Canada in 1973 ,,, with 2 friends ,,, when i was 25 !! We all 3 started out with panniers. Mine where big and green on the back only. My pals had rears and handlebar bags. After just a hundred miles , i started to send stuff home by post. By the time i was in central Oregon , i had sent both BIG GREEN panniers home and had only a small 1 cubic foot stuff sack on the rear book rack ,,, with a thin sleeping bag, ground cloth , and some clean socks and uw , wallet and disposable camera . We camped out a lot ,,, sometimes on back lawns of people we met who invited us when we explained how poor we were. And ,yes, we 'cheated' and took pickup truck rides offered in heavy rains,,, hid out in flop house hotel in Coos Bay for days of heavy rain,,, took a bus to Corvallis ,,, and a train to get from Calgary to Edmonton for a party that was a non. Oh , and a bus across Ontario mid-summer to avoid the biting black flies everyone we met was warning us about.
We 3 ,plus one, bicycled up the hill into Ville Quebec in a heavy downpour ,,, with both hostels full . We found free hotel rooms for 2 weeks !!
So why oh why are so many young couples trying to kill themselves with massive bike loads that can't be any fun to pedal,,, 140 extra pounds EACH?!! ,,, up and down those steep little hills on Hwy 1,,,, !?
Is it some purist thing ?
Is it some 'claim to fame ' i did it all , like a sherpa up Everest, thing ?
Or is it just pure and simple ,,, S&M !?
I say it must be S&M!,,, I saw a young couple that had pedaled around Cuba for a month ,,, then bicycled thru Texas in summer (worst hottest least-comfortable wx of the year , what the frack !??),,, and Arizona (hell) and Nevada(shiittt) with Death(wish) Valley and Tioga Pass from the east to Yosemite Valley and then Monterey. "Hey !!, Why don't you just whip each other , husband and wife, with a cat of 9 tails too ??" And this was a wealth German couple who could afford to 'go light' and stay in motels and hotels .
Yes, they did it. So what? Really. Anyone who hears what they did will be asking "WHY ,,, would you do it ,,,that most uncomfortable hardest way !?" What point is there ,,, to do it THE HARD PAINFUL SLOW UNFUN BLISTERING-HOT NEAR-IMPOSSIBLE PACK-TONS WAY ? ? ? Believe me, it is super hard enough with just a bicycle and all those miles !! I met them in Muir Woods ,,, and they definitely were not smiling. And they plan on doing this yearly !?! I bet on d-i-v-o-r-c-e !! The husband was the motivator and the wife the follower ,,, No stops at massage spas ,,, No great rest days by the motel pool with margaritas and beers ,,, Yikes !!
Hey, if they want the hottest , most uncomfortable weather, the worst car traffic and highest risk of auto-bike collision, and the heaviest load of gear that is NOT that necessary ,,, just for superiority bragging rights that they humped an extra 140 POUNDS EACH ,,,
i just don't get it.
We got in great shape without all that baggage. We had killer hill/mtn climbs and long boring (e.washington) stretches,,,But i'll bet we had TONS MUCH MORE FUN THAT THESE 'SHERPA' BICYCLE RIDERS !! It was even fun to ride a bicycle ,,, every day ,,, for months. Bet they can't say that.
And i would do it again, with friends , LIGHT and Fun !! Maybe Glacier National Park this time ,,,
For instance, you could travel across Paris on your hands and knees for a long weekend , wearing a mule crosstree on your back, with 2 big suitcases. You could, but why would you ?
You could go to Africa 'on safari' and haul a long large double wide trailer-park trailer,,, with a beat-up junkyard VW bug. For months. You could, but why oh why would you ?
Or ,,, you could swim the English Channel ,,, in a Speedo ,,, with a toaster under the front and a kitchen sink tied to one ankle. You could, but why would you ?
You could ski all the N. American downhill ski areas ,,, let's see ,,, wearing 20 pots and frypans tied from head to waist to ankle ,,, tied to a barcalounger ,,, and a Costco pack of deluxe toilet paper tied behind that. You could , but why would you ?
You could cruise the Caribbean ,,,in a cast iron bath tub ,,, with 20 ft oars ,,, a couple of stray cats and dogs ,,, and every pair of shoes you and she own. You could, but why oh my why would you ?
Take it from someone who bicycled from the Bay Area in Cal. up to N. British Columbia and across Canada in 1973 ,,, with 2 friends ,,, when i was 25 !! We all 3 started out with panniers. Mine where big and green on the back only. My pals had rears and handlebar bags. After just a hundred miles , i started to send stuff home by post. By the time i was in central Oregon , i had sent both BIG GREEN panniers home and had only a small 1 cubic foot stuff sack on the rear book rack ,,, with a thin sleeping bag, ground cloth , and some clean socks and uw , wallet and disposable camera . We camped out a lot ,,, sometimes on back lawns of people we met who invited us when we explained how poor we were. And ,yes, we 'cheated' and took pickup truck rides offered in heavy rains,,, hid out in flop house hotel in Coos Bay for days of heavy rain,,, took a bus to Corvallis ,,, and a train to get from Calgary to Edmonton for a party that was a non. Oh , and a bus across Ontario mid-summer to avoid the biting black flies everyone we met was warning us about.
We 3 ,plus one, bicycled up the hill into Ville Quebec in a heavy downpour ,,, with both hostels full . We found free hotel rooms for 2 weeks !!
So why oh why are so many young couples trying to kill themselves with massive bike loads that can't be any fun to pedal,,, 140 extra pounds EACH?!! ,,, up and down those steep little hills on Hwy 1,,,, !?
Is it some purist thing ?
Is it some 'claim to fame ' i did it all , like a sherpa up Everest, thing ?
Or is it just pure and simple ,,, S&M !?
I say it must be S&M!,,, I saw a young couple that had pedaled around Cuba for a month ,,, then bicycled thru Texas in summer (worst hottest least-comfortable wx of the year , what the frack !??),,, and Arizona (hell) and Nevada(shiittt) with Death(wish) Valley and Tioga Pass from the east to Yosemite Valley and then Monterey. "Hey !!, Why don't you just whip each other , husband and wife, with a cat of 9 tails too ??" And this was a wealth German couple who could afford to 'go light' and stay in motels and hotels .
