The infidelity hits just keep on coming

In what appears to be a growing trend, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has been charged Monday with perjury and other counts after sexually explicit text messages contradicted his sworn denials of an affair with a top aide.

This comes on the (high) heels of Gov. Eliot’s Spitzer’s resignation from office after admitting he frequented the Ocean’s Club VIP Escort Service and the lovely and semi-talented singing sensation Ashley Alexandra Dupre, or Ashley Youmans, or “Mommy” or “Madam Tinkerbell” as some customers refer to her.

Spitzer’s position was filled by former Lt. Gov. David Paterson, who admitted having several affairs in the past. His wife quickly admitted having an affair of her own, a move that some strategists say offsets at least one or the affairs that he had. Paterson invoked the “You First” defense, noting that his affair was revenge for his wife’s earlier affair. They now claim to be happily married with nanny cams planted everywhere. Other affair-ridden community leaders include Former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey and Tony Soprano.

Remember Gary Hart? His 1988 bid for president fell short when photos of he and Donna Rice appeared just after he denied it. No one bought it. His support plummeted. Those left supporting him included Hugh Hefner and the crew of the Monkey Business. Hart is just one of many but politics, power, and sex seem to be continuous. The trickle-down effect is interesting. In a recent poll, 45 percent of newly elected homeowner association presidents said “things are looking up” while winking at the same time.

Scandalous behavior appears to be spreading everywhere. At first I thought it was just in political circles. But there’s something in the water or perhaps the air because something is going on. Divorce court is filling up with infidelity cases and if that weren’t enough proof, even my dog has, for no reason, started humping the other leg.

Considering Kilpatrick allegedly ordered Detroit cops to kill a stripper who was about to blow the whistle on his impropriety, as well as used charity money to take his family on a California vacation, it doesn’t surprise me that he cheated on his wife and perjured himself. No wonder my car’s worth more than a three-bedroom house in Detroit nowadays—literally.

Your inclusion of Sen. Hart in this context is, to say the least, a twist of logic. He was never even accused of a criminal act — nor was anything proved about his private life, despite the unprecedented invasion of privacy. He has continued his exemplary citizenship and public service, proving over and over his brilliance and prescience. He and his only wife have now been married one year short of 50. Isn’t it time to leave them alone?

You know those guns they take from criminals? Like when one idiot tries to shoot another and then the cops get’em both? I wonder what happens to the guns?

I have this theory that not much happens to a guy caught with a gun he shouldn’t have. It sort of makes you wonder. Even if he wasn’t shooting the gun. I wonder what happens to them? Is it a fine? I want to know; if there are people out there caught with loaded handguns they shouldn’t have, I want to know what happens to them.

I wonder what happens to the guns? Do the cops do some sort of background check on every gun? Do they save them forever, as evidence? Do they sell them at gun shows or auction them on ebay? I don’t know, I’d like to know.

And before all of the riff-raff gets their panties in a wad… It’s a legitimate question, where else should I ask it?

LT,

This whole thing brewed up because the mayor LIED UNDER OATH. There were two issues asked him and his “aide” on the stand. One was about the affair between the two of them. The other pertained to plans regarding having three police officers fired for either reporting abuses by the mayor or his “executive protection staff” or the investigation regarding those abuses.

No one in Detroit cared about the affair as that is common place among politicians. However, when perjury is committed by the mayor and his “aide”, the cost to the city is over 9 million dollars in jury findings, interest and legal fees then all bets were off and charges filed.

Sadly, an ego bigger than Texas is involved and the owner of it is the mayor who refuses to step down. Would be willing to bet that had he resigned, many of the charges would have been dropped and maybe a misdemeanor charge would have been used instead of two charges carrying 5 year each and 6 carrying 15 years each.

Detroit is an evil town. There are witches there. I know. I was married to one. I asked her why she didn’t have a cat. There were always weird leftovers I dont remember from what possible course I could have eaten that would have left anything that looked and smelled like that…..I never would have found out until she contracted measles or something and some doctor sedated her and then gave her a surprise MRI. She wasn’t even close. It’s like the witch never dreamed anybody might xray into her anatomy to see what she really was, some creature…..For some reason, as soon as I knew, she knew I knew, and boy did she get the drop on me quick, but we were in the kitchen, and there was an oven nearby. I tried to remember what hanzel and gretel did to deep six the hellion they lucked into….my god, it was no longer my wife. She forced me against the wall without touching me. Her transformation was complete. I didn’t know who this thing was. I think it smiled. There was grunting all around me. It was like a Fellini movie……or my prom night, (same thing).

I find the whole thing amusing and bemusing. The same people that are crying “Sin! Sin!” are the ones that stoutly defending Bill Clinton’s right to receive “personal service” from an intern and lie about it, and then claimed that “even if he DID, it didn’t matter, because it was just sex” (or non-sex, depending on your feelings about that particular act.)

Why is everyone so anxious to castrate the Spitzers and the Kilpatricks of the world, but was more than willing to wink at Clinton’s behavior?

Interesting, no, how we claim to not judge a man’s ability to lead a corporation (or a womans, to be fair) based on his personal life, but….I mean, does getting a bj from a fat intern mean that Clinton was a bad president? Does visiting a hooker (conflict of interest) mean that he was a bad governor? I just think it’s funny that we look to POLITICIANS to be MORAL leaders. You should look behind a pulpit for a moral leader, not behind the microphone.

El Bubba. Confiscated guns are generally sent to the ATF for destruction after their use as evidence in whatever crime they were used in. I believe there was a time when police weapons were auctioned off when their service period was over, but I don’t think they ever auctioned confiscated weapons. At least not officially.. you know how those things go. I’m not an LEO, but I know a few and that’s my understanding of the procedure.

Why is there so much cheating? It’s all about trickery. The women give it up like mad before marriage. Backflips and pretzels every night. Boom, you’re married and it all stops. Soon, she’s more interested in cooking and decorating than looking sexy and gettin’ busy. You can still buy her sexy undies but she’ll wear the “quitters” with holes. Mine will wear a hot little black dress to parties but will wear the biggest panties ever. Her panty lines look like she’s wearing a diaper. I’ll comment and she’s make an excuse about muffin tops or that the dress is funny or something. I’ve spoken to all of my friends as well. It’s the same for them. So, that leaves us having guys night out with beers. We sit there and stare at the hot college chicks and just remember. We can only take so much. So, why do we cheat? Because it was a fraud. If you buy a Mercedes at the dealership and when you get home it’s a Saturn, then you’ve been had. I give us all about 4-5 years. Guys, don’t fall for it. They’ll cut you off after marriage. Guys are guys. They need a little lovin’. They’ll get it somewhere.

well, it’s obvious, men like to have sex more than women. deny it all you want ladies, but I didn’t say that most of you don’t like sex, I just stated a fact. then when we get married too few women, even though all of you will say that you are perfect wives, have sex enough with their husbands or even try. women today spend less and less time taking care of their man, many considering it to be acting like a servant to a man, and don’t let any of your female friends see you doing it. too much feminism and not enough togetherness. and why is it ok to stop having enough sex with your man after he marries you? men should be able to have flings if they can afford it and still take care of their responsibities, this would take away the total control of sex from gender and begin to make things fair again. prostitution should be legal, it should be kept private, it should be taxed and they should have weekly health checks and issued health cards.

Trickery and Beatty, Dang, while what you say is true to a large degree, not all of us (wives) are like what you described.

I take alot better care of myself now at 37 than I did in my 20’s, when I had small kids to tend to.

I feel better, I look better, and I put alot into it to achieve it. I go to the gym, I cook real food, I try to make everyone in the house feel good to be home. I want to be someone who they want to come home to.

Might not always work…but I do still try.

So Beatty, for your first line, I say you should’ve put “most” in front of the word women.

as I implied, I know there are good wives that try. but too many have neglected their husbands, one example from marriage ‘say goodbye to almost all oral sex’, and men happen to love that. I know from my own experience and from talking to other men. too many times today I see women not just trying to be strong and equal, but going further and trying to be men themselves. don’t let anyone see you in that minivan, better have an suv. but I’ve been beggin my wife for years to make love to me, but all I get is motionless wham bam thank you mam sex when I can corner her after months of loneliness. it has to do with her ex, her strict religious upbringing and with menopause, but I’m told too many times it’s me. and what happens if I have an affair after years of begging and being neglected? I will be the bad guy, I will be the one who made a mistake, I was the one who hurt somebody. how convenient. the truth remains, men want sex more than women, that’s why there are more male porn sites, that’s why men pay for almost all dates. it is wrong in some way to pair up two individuals for life that have different levels of sex drive, and sometimes at different ages, and expect things to go well. when men were allowed to have mistresses and concubines the divorce rate was much lower, a lot of marriages ran more smoothly and even the women were happen that he wasn’t bugging them all the time for sex. that mormon thing ain’t looking so bad right now, plus it gives your wife someone else to argue with and complain to. and through all this, my wife is great and I love her very much, but I feel unjustly punished by her neglect and trapped between a rock and a hard place, and I’m not a minority among men.

You “deserve” nothing. You’re not entitled to a damn thing in this world..not a happy life, not super sex…nothing. This entitlement mentality will be the downfall of civilization! If people would quit being so selfish and self centered perhaps fidelity wouldn’t be so accepted. Men you’re not entitled to sex whenever you want it. Women you’re not entitled to some kind of exciting life when the 1 you’re in gets boring.
Ladies maybe you are the reason he can’t keep it up because you’ve let yourself go or are nagging all the time. Men maybe your lack of help around the house or letting yourself go is the reason she doesn’t want it more.

You have to work at marriage and you will get exactly what you put into it. So all of you stop being such selfish, spoiled, miserable little whiny brats.

I don’t think anyone should lose their job over an affair. I can really see only 3 reasons why an affair should be investigated.

1- tax payers money is being used, hotels, dinner, travel….

2-one of the party’s involved was promoted

3-a crime is being committed (hookers). It doesn’t matter if it’s his money or gov’t money.

Other than that I think we need to say out of folks bedrooms & worry more about the economy.

It’s not that Mayor Kilpatrick “strayed”. Men do it all the time. Although, if my husband “strayed”, I’d kick his butt to the curb.

It’s about Kilpatrick lying under OATH. It’s a FELONY, people. That’s what makes this whole thing different than President Clinton, former Governor Spitzer, etc. Kilpatrick also lied to the Detroit City Council when asking the City to settle with two policemen that he fired because they were going to blow the whistle on his affair.

I don’t think Detroit citizens would be so upset about the affair itself. However, they are upset about the lies that finally caught up with Mayor Kilpatrick.

He needs to resign. Pronto.

It’s interesting, some men out there are miserable, through no fault of their own…not! Whining is so very unbecoming. Get counseling, fix the problem or move on. No one can make you happy, or for that matter, miserable, without you playing a part in it. You’re not a victim. Remember, if it’s okay for you to invest your time elsewhere, so may your spouse.

Regarding the guy who thinks his wife’s “issues” lie with her ex, her strict religious upbringing and menopause: He obviously needs to pay closer attention. He mentioned that many times she stated it’s him! That certain act or extra curricular partner he’s been fantasizing about, in reality just may cause him an expensive divorce, you know, the one he says he doesn’t want. Make a decision already.

Why take the vow if you know you are incapable of honoring it? Why pretend to be the family type with a happy marriage? What a stupid facade. BTW, the only people that I’ve known to think affairs were no big deal were the “side dishes” who were not married to the cheating spouse.

TeeHee - you are so right.

And I have the attention span of a gnat, so apologies to whomever said this, but the big deal/irony with Spitzer is that earlier in his much ballyhooed career he busted a high end prostitution ring (so I have read) so it is ironic one would lead to his downfall.

I have waited my whole life to say ballyhooed!!! I can die happy.

I will say one thing, though:

If I am taking out the trash, folding laundry, making dinner, running the vacuum cleaner or cleaning anything where bleach or soft scrub is present, now is generally not the time to hit mute on the tv, wave at me, and ask if we can have sex. Do you think I am turned on?

if you have to marry a macho man or the bad boy it’s your own damn fault. my sister did that and boy is she miserable. but I like many of my friends and many other men I know, do laundry and clean and cook (and not just grilling), but do men ever get this credit? no. because the myth needs to be carried on, the invalidation needs to be carried to build up someone’s ego. it’s just not true that men don’t help with kids and around the house. if the man has a full time job and the wife is a ‘homemaker’ then maybe this is true more often. but men have changed a lot in 30-40 years, yes we’ve evolved. and I’ve told people more than once that it takes more of man to change a dirty diaper than to charge at a machine gun, because it’s harder to do especially if someone is watching.man-bashing needs to stop being our national sport, for the same reasons that women shouldn’t be degraded also. just look at commercials where the man is a lazy idiot. or all the tv shows where women hit men or pour drinks on them. and yes this does make a difference and it is noticed and people do act it out. it’s no more right for a woman to mistreat a man than it is for a man to mistreat a woman. and the sad part is, all the women that so easily invalidate men in an attempt to build themselves up have fathers, brothers, or the worst, they even have sons. to invalidate someone else to build yourself up is not a sign of strength but extreme weakness. so in closing, there are a lot of good people out there, you don’t have to pick the bad boy or the macho man, you can actually choose a nice guy, they may not be much of a challenge but they will love you a whole lot and be willing to work hard for themselves, you and the relationship.

Why are we surprize that the infidelity hits just keep on coming, the reason is our Godlessness

2 Timothy 3

3:1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth

I watch my weight, fix my hair and dress sexy and I happen to be married to a man that does keeps himself up as well. However, most of my girlfriends that keep themselves up have husbands with gringy face hairs, pot belly’s that cover their man hood and continuously burp & fart thinking it’s cute (it’s not guys). These are the same women that ogle the pool guy :) What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Keep yourself up and your wife might want to share with you :)

Most south of 8 Mile seem to make excuses for Kwame. Those north of 8 Mile seem to have a much different view of this mess.

But here is the boil down - He and his chief of staff had an affair. They texted each other a lot (on city owned/leased equipment). People found out. There was an (alledged) party at the mayor’s mansion. Mayor’s wife (alledgely) walked in while the mayor was being serviced by a stripper at the party. Wife gives stripper beat down. Stripper calls police and goes to hospital. Stripper winds up dead a couple months later. Investigation is inititated. Affair is uncovered. officers get fired so the affair can be kept under wraps. Officers sue. Mayor and COS deny affair but lose case. Mayor insist on appeal but agrees to settle when confronted with steamy text messages. all parties sign a confidentiality agreement. Local newpapers uncover text messages and print excerpts. They admit affair and ask for forgiveness. She steps down but both state they did nothing wrong. They deny confidentiality agreement but then agreement is released by courts.

I would guess most of us work for someone else and have to make use of company owned phones/computers/internet connection. It is drummed into our heads that we have no expectation of privacy when we make use of these devices. Mayor Kwame actually signed a policy for City of Detroit employees to this effect but doesn’t expect that this should apply for him and his COS.

Lying under oath is breaking the law, I don’t care whose rule of law you are using!

You guys who think these are the end times and that godlessness begets this infidelity are nuts. It’s like you’re ignoring 10,000 years of history completely. Was it the end of the world when Rome fell? Was it godlessness that brought them to heel? For most of the Victorian era in England it was accepted that men kept prim and proper wives at home and a mistress to take care of their baser needs elsewhere. John F. Kennedy.. Thomas Jefferson.. I mean C’MON.. There’s nothing new under the sun, there’s never even necessarily more of the same old thing. Just more publicity. Hell, people think crime is prevalent in our society but if you look at the data from the DoJ you’ll see it’s the lowest it has been in decades. Calm down and augment that biblical knowledge with a little information from the here and now. As for infidelity.. I’ve never fooled around on my woman and I’m sure not going to do it now and I’m about as godless as it gets. It’s not fear of god’s wrath or the law that should motivate you (but fear of your woman) but the respect you have for the person you’re with. If you need to cheat, then you need to leave.

Lt. Steve you never fail to make me laugh! I don’t think people often get that you are joking about some of the things you write about.

I found some of the comments here very interesting.

First off what is up with people who will post a comment and then come back and post it 10 more times over the day.

What is up with the trashing Lt. Steve? Yes, he’s a cop. He also happens to write a column sometimes the articles are serious sometimes not so much. Either way they are all well written and enjoyable.

As for infidelity: let me just say this.
People not just men cheat because something is missing from the marriage. It may not even be the sex that is missing. There are just some “needs ” (again not necessarily sexual) that are not being met. So, people will meet someone else or go back to an ex that can meet that need. Whether it is believing in them, thinking they are funny, loving , or just good people. And yes, sometimes people are not getting enough sex in the marriage. You should try talking it out with a counselor. Otherwise, people will stray. It takes 2 to make a marriage work and 2 for a marriage not to work. It takes commitment. When you are taking your vows you will notice it does not say, ” I promise to have sex including oral sex with you every single time you want and I will be energetic about it”. Yes, sex is important in a marriage, but it’s not more important than being committed to the marriage. The vows say ” i promise to love, honor and cherish you”. Maybe if people abide by the love, honor, and cherish part you might get the sex you want.

You must be the only person that had a look, as many people as there are here that hate me, I would expect hate mail…I’m going to tell all of my cop stories, it will take awhile and span several countries. Then, at the end, I’m going to tell how I saw cops in Alabama cover up a murder, apparently by one of their own. I have research to do, microfiche news articles from way back when.

I view people who follow the bible, or any religious dogma for that matter, as their moral code with a certain amount of cynicism. It seems to me that they’re only in it for the reward or for fear of the punishment. I don’t think fear for their mortal soul should be what motivates a person. Afterall, isn’t it faith, not acts, that decides whether someone gets into heaven? (depending on you religious preference I suppose)

Chapter two. The Haywitch.

My wife is a witch. I found her out when her doctor told me about an MRI he took of her, and she didn’t take being made very well. If my two daughters hadn’t suddenly appeared in the kitchen, where my wife had me cornered, I’d not be writing this. I’m alive to warn others. I know there are others. Other witches, and other oblivious husbands. Sex with a witch. Believe me, you dont want it, no matter how good it is.

We settled into a stalemate, but she wouldn’t let me outside the house. A week passed. Then two weeks. I got a termination notice in the mail. I was a bus driver. The four of us were having lunch one day when my wife spoke, “Stop doing that. Can you stop doing that?”

Doing what?

Smelling your milk everytime you take a sip. I hate that. What, you’re afraid it will turn sour between sips?

I dont…..

Just stop doing it.

Why dont you have a cat?

We’re done here. Girls excuse yourselves.

The twins giggled and scuffed the floor with the legs of their chairs and unceremoniously disappeared into the tv room.

I noticed my wifes eyes were brown. I’d never noticed that. I hate brown eyes. I had to get out of that house. I offered to clear the table and do the dishes. She looked surprised. “The doctor called about the images he took of me. He wants me to come back for more. Do you think I should go?”

He must have the entire medical profession in the palm of his hands with your…your….selves.

“If he told anyone. He doesn’t know what he has, not really, he thinks it could still be a anomaly.”

He’s told everyone. He’s probably sold some of it.

“If that were true, then there’d be papparazzi everywhere……”

Just then a fireball crashed through the kitchen window and slammed into the chair my wife had just ducked away from. She crawled like a cockroach across the floor toward the stairs to the cellar. I crouched down and followed her. I was only two seconds behind her, but when I arrived at the bottom of the stairs, my wife was in a cage, my two daughters were standing at opposite ends, outside the cage, chanting some incantation, in unworldly rythms, while my wife was crouched over, moaning and shrieking in protest, with no vestige of her former appearance left. The twins were now 2 totally different unique grotesque monstrosities and I was f…..

I think I might shamelessly promote myself here until Lt. Steve posts a comment on my blog, then I’ll know I’ve hit the big time and I’ll retire.

That Carbon Footprint Yankee should have a blog, he’s a much better writer than I. Actually I ran into his work somewhere else, a site about creative writing. He’s good.

Yes, I have some sort of perverted cop fettish. Sad but true. I guess it’s because they are the only people on the planet that can fock with me. I’m not scared of criminals, they can’t hurt me, I’m scared of cops, they have hurt me. It’s kind of like “If you didn’t have that badge on…”

Have you noticed a trend on this site? If I ramble on long enough and take things way away from the subject, Lt. Steve will write a new installment. Look at all of the previous stuff, it’s like he gets tired of me and writes a new piece just to get rid of my rambling BS.

Great, interesting, state of the art blogsite too! and so current and such insights into the news events! I’m inspired to start my own blog too. Every american should both do stand up comedy and have a blog, and, of course, spend at least one evening trying to bathe a cat.

I guess I had you guys all wrong. I love fellow writers. It’s a common bond deeper than if we were musicians or something, or bus drivers, although their bond is strong too. Ever notice how school bus drivers always wave at eachother when they pass in the road? I like that. I like that real good.

I’m so sorry. I thought you guys were trolls just trying to upset Steve Rose. I mean, I guess I just dont fit in no where. Writing is a sacred mission to me. I would do anything to be a writer, and be able to admit to myself that I can write, and then write something that isn’t cheeklint. I’m 57. you’d think I’d have figured out by now that as we love/hate ourselves so goes our expectations of how others might view our work. I cant allow myself to be happy, 4 some reason. I just cant.

Anyway, you’re a vision. A 10! Beauty is so rare, honestly. It took great courage to publish your photo. This is the internet and I’m not sure I trust one word I read on it. Well, I’m rambling, and I’m sure you’ve already alerted the FBI stalking department, but in my defense I can only say that I never got the babe, not in highschool or college or in my twenties or thirties ever ever ever. I married an aunt bea because I was desperately seeking susan in all the wrong places and then there was that night with the empty sterno cans, but it’s a blur, who knows what happened, somebody needs to step forward and rescue me from my marriage…i’m innocent….help!

I think someone’s brain just vomited on me!

Thank you for the compliment - it is indeed I, although that picture is two years old.

I love to blog. That blog is my second. The first blog was far too private, and thus generated far too many personal insults, so I took it down.

Everyone should write; it’s the modern theater and all cathartic and sh*t.

Yeah, I’m sorry about all those insults on your first blog, I was drunk. lol. :}

Dont you hate emoticons? I’m actually afraid of them. There’s this one that sends me under the bed everytime I see it. It the one that shows the face of someone nursing a gas bubble, you know that one, eh? Yeah. Scary.

No, you have a classic babe look. You’re a type of female that is rare but there, you know? Very cool. I dig, I dig, I’m going to blow my cool. You wouldn’t happen to have an older sister for me? LOL ;>)

THAT WAS THE EMOTICON! I didn’t type it in, seriously. It just appeared. Now I’m frightened.

You may write well but you’re a nutcase! She’s not your new girlfriend that you never had, she’s mine!

Post a video, we want to see you drooling. I went to her blog and left a polite note… that puts me at the top of the dance card.

Get a better name. What chick would want to meet a guy named analchord?

When will some more crime happen? I’m getting bored.

Like I said, I never get the babe. I’m not trying to pick anyone up. Just conversing, that’s all. There’s no boogie man here. Not interested in meeting anyone in the virtual world at all. We have to settle for each other’s minds now. Meeting folks is out of the question. We all have real people in our orbit that require our full attention. I get that. Do you?

Why are you always po’d at cops?

Analdischord,

Not trying to pick anyone up? Don’t want to meet anyone in real life? Well, OK, good luck with that.

Why do I have a problem with cops? That’s a good question. Cops are the only people that can put me in jail and it has happened, sort of angers me, never more than a day, I’m not a real criminal.

A guy walks up with a badge, he can put you in jail. A guy walks up without a badge and it’s a totaly different story. I just hate that anyone can have that sort of control over me. I don’t hate cops, I just don’t like it…

Am I on the couch now? I feel like I’m on the couch. Are you a registerd psychiatrist? How much will this cost? Do you think if I whine long enough Lt. Steve will write a new one?

I’m trying to figure out what to whine about. Aren’t you a Yankee? Doesn’t it sort of freak you out when I say I’m fixin’ to do something? That always freaks out the Yankees, like they’ve never actually prepared to do something. I’m fixin’ to start the truck, do you want to watch and see how it’s done? When I’m fixin’ to start the truck I start with thinking about the key, usually it’s in the ignition. Why? Because I don’t live in the city, the key just sort of stays there, it’s not even on a key-ring, it’s all there by its lonesome.

Lets see what my whining produces…

I was raised in Texas. james connaly air force base, Lackland air force base, and randolph air force base, sir.

I loved texas. Waco especially. I played little league with George Bush. he beaned me with a fast ball during one game, the dirty rat. It hurt.

Waco has something great about it.
Yes, tourism is booming in waco texas.

Did you ever see any UFO’s?

Jesus loves you, yes he does.

By The BlogFather

I didn’t see any UFOs, El Bubba, my fine, fine friend, but I did see a ghost. In my room. I was having trouble sleeping one night and I just lay there, a wide awake 9-year-old, listening to the occasional car pass through my neighborhood of brick ranches. I noticed that as any car approached, it’s headlights would cast a rectangular, window-conforming image on my walls, the slits of the blinds clearly visible, and then as the car turned down my street past my house, the funny image would move along the wall slowly then quicker, almost pick up on the other wall, until it disappeared altogether.

Well, this happened three or four times and each time I noticed some nuance in the light image but ho hum.

But then, this one car seemed to linger, but then passed by, yet the light image loitered in the silence, and suddenly transformed from sharp rectangular lines to a blurry undulating oval that had no blind marks and inexplicably began to depart from the wall. It hovered toward me, slowly, and made it’s way to the foot of my bed. The car had passed long ago, there was no reason for the light to still be there. I felt an intelligence, an alien purpose drawing near, interested in me. I could no longer do nothing but watch. I threw my pillow at it and screamed, “momma!, momma!”.

In seconds my whole family was at my bedroom door, the light was on, and my pillow was covering my baby brother’s face in his crib, where the ghost had emanated from.

They laughed at my excuse for waking them up. My dad wanted to know why I yelled for mom instead of dad. I didn’t answer. I guess that’s when I knew I was gay. (joke). and everyone went to bed. Strangely, no more cars passed my window that night and I was soon asleep.

I’ve looked back on that night a million times from every conceivable angle and still cannot explain what I saw and felt. The car had passed, the sound of the car faded away, I had two points of reliable senses, sight and sound to inform me that no light should have been registering on my walls. I waited long enough to ascertain that the image was indeed in motion and closing in on me. It indeed was at the foot of my bed. Those are the facts. What I didn’t tell my parents or anyone for that matter, was that the image spoke, and for the first time in my life, I’m ready to divulge the message the ghost gave me:

stay tuned for part two of, “Waco’s Ghost”.

Just damn. I couldn’t make it through all 125 posts. Sorry.

SalannB? Are you f*******….. freaking serious? Slick Willy did Monica AND lied about it under oath. Not only that but he tried to get HER to lie about it under oath (subornation of perjury was the charge, same one they nailed Nixon on. LOL Hitlery drew up the charges for Nixon and they used that as a blue print for Willy, poetic justice. Well except Nixon resigned and Willy continued to date and rape).

Cassie: That poop thing was the funniest and best thing I have read in a while. I couldn’t have stated it better. Either you ARE a lying no good POS that cheats on the one you swore to love honor and trust or you are not. Your poop thing is funnier though.

Holier than thou Jesus dude: Go to hell and shut the f up.

El bubba: Don’t buy that melt the gun crap. The cops give them to me and I pass them out to the kids (fully loaded with an extra box of ammo) for halloween. You should see the line at my door every year. Can you believe that most of those kids need a shave?

Cindy: You go girl. You showed that love and marriage is about what YOU can give to your spouse and family, not what you can take from them. I have done too much of one and not enough of the other. Shamed by your personal example I will (starting tomorrow) try to do better. Seriously, nice post.

Dude who don’t get none because his wife has gone through ‘the change”: You swore to love and honor through better or worse til death do you part. You ain’t dead and this may be the “worse’ part. Man up and honor your word if you won’t honor your wife. Grab a playboy, jack off and STFU.

Cassie: Just to clarify, I should have typed either ONE is blah blah……. not YOU are blah blah…….. as the way I wrote it lends itself to an erroneous interpretation that I was refering to YOU (specifically) as the POS not. you (collectively) as I intended. LOL to make a short story long, I was neither implying nor stating that you, Cassie, is a POS.

Amen, Grace!

” 3 reasons why an affair should be investigated.

1- tax payers money is being used, hotels, dinner, travel….

2-one of the party’s involved was promoted

3-a crime is being committed (hookers). It doesn’t matter if it’s his money or gov’t money.

Other than that I think we need to say out of folks bedrooms & worry more about the economy.”

I don’t care if Clinton had a affair with Monica - I DO care that he lied about it. Same thing with the “JFK-Marilyn Monroe tryst”, if there was such a thing.

Take a look at European countries - hell, the French president’s wife and mistress used to go shopping together! It didn’t matter as long as the country was being run correctly.

Look to your pastor, minister, priest for moral guidance. Forget about politicians or you are just going to be continuously let down by them!!

Hello. You’ve achieved success in your field when you don’t know whether what you’re doing is work or play. I am from France and too poorly know English, give true I wrote the following sentence: “Now that you know how to highlight text, you should practice the the art of highlighting text.”

Hello. There is still a difference between something and nothing, but it is purely geometrical and there is nothing behind the geometry. I am from Japan and also now’m speaking English, tell me whether I wrote the following sentence: “The only way to get lean is to have a full workout regimen and burn fat over your entire body.”

THX :-D, Dermot.

badly need your help. Do not believe that he who seeks to comfort you lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life has much difficulty… Were it otherwise he would never have been able to find those words. I am from France and know bad English, tell me whether I wrote the following sentence: “Free download if you are sick and tired of not being able to lose your post pregnancy belly.”

With respect :-), Dard.
