Aloha Dump

Yes, you read that right. Nine legislators form Mexico came to AZ last week to complain about the strict AZ immigration laws. Evidently, Mexico ins't able to handle the influx of returning illegals. Excuse me while I guffaw .

On December 9, 2009 Jason Green and his girlfriend, both New York City EMT's, were getting coffee and bagels in Brooklyn coffee shop when a 25 year old woman  who was 6 months pregnant began having a seizure. The EMT's, still in uniform, told the cashier to call 911 and left with their coffee and bagels. The woman and her baby died that day. The EMT's were suspended without pay and then faded away from media radar. On July 19, 2010 Green and his buddy were trying to get into a SoHo nightclub when Green's buddy was turned away for wearing shorts. They were involved in an altercation in a parking a few minutes later and a man got out of his car a shot Green to death. It is not known whether the shooter recognized Green as the disgraced EMT or whether people just stood there and watched him die. Call it karma, poetic justice, or irony- I don't feel bad for this guy.

Brutha's and sista's, let us pray for Obama using the following passage from the Good Book:   Psalm 109:8   "Let his days be few and brief; and let others step forward to replace him." Can I get an AMEN!

Lebron James' announcement to switch to the Miami Heat has everyone who gives a flip about basketball (is it?) in a huge tizzy. Cincinnati is upset while in Miami there were reports of rioting, looting and dancing in the streets- just another normal day in Miami until they heard about the James decision. The full range of emotions can be found on Yahoo! Sports, the pinnacle of in-depth decisive sports reporting. The main story revolves around the owner of the Cavs, Dan Gilbert, in this riveting headline:   'Cleveland fans don't deserve this cowardly betrayal' .  Evidently, Dan was so pissed at the decision that he decided to write an open Internet letter to the fans of the Cavs. It is derogation at its finest and really makes Gilbert look like a whiny ass. Thank you Lebron, Gilbert, Cincinnati, Miami and the 5110+ losers who flooded the Yahoo comments section about this story for again solidifying the fact that professional sports obsession is...

I found this link in my Inbox and decided to see what kind of smokescreen CBS's blog Political Hotseat was throwing down. The poll asks you to grade Obama, from an A to an F, in 10 different categories with the last category an overall grade for the President. Here are the issues: The Economy Foreign Policy Health Care Afghanistan Iraq Threat of Terrorism Energy and the Environment Social Issues Bipartisanship Obama's Overall Job as President Seems pretty straight forward although I am not sure why the separation between Afghanistan and Iraq. I would have liked to see "Gulf Oil Crisis" in there somewhere but for a meaningless poll it pretty much covers the gamut. For all you Obama haters and nut swingers, you can refresh the page and fill out the poll as many times as you like but I did not notice the percentages change when I filled it out a second time to see if CBS put a limit on the voting. I could totally picture an Obama hater staying up a...

It was a good run United States. I didn't think they would get this far but we'll take all the cheezy goals we can get and all the ties we can squeek by with. I don't know what Coach Bradley said to his team at the half but perhaps he should have said it at the beginning of the game- it reminded me of the super lame Super Bowl 2008. I blame the candy ass soccer moms for this loss. Had you been more focused on teaching your kids how to win a game  instead making everyone, including the losers, feel good about just playing the game perhaps we would have beaten Ghana. In case you missed it, last week a college student made this video celebrating Donovan's goal last Wednesday that got the US into the final 16. File under "Short but Sweet".

The disgust of the Iraqi head of sports came to a climax when it was discovered that Uday, one of Saddam's sicko sons, tortured and murdered Iraqi professional athletes who lost games . In 1980 Iraq sent 46 athletes to the Olympic games; in 2000 they sent just 4 to the Games in Sydney. Hmm, right after Uday took over people stopped wanting to play sports for the country of Iraq. I wonder if the same fate will fall to the North Korean soccer team after the 7-0 ass whipping they received from Portugal.  The game was televised to residents of PRK (for the first time in decades?) but was abruptly cut short after the following announcement:  "The Portuguese won the game and now have four points. We ar e  ending our live broadcast now "  A brilliant quote from the soccer coach, Kim  Jong Hun,  concerning the loss, and similar to Ron Atkinson's  "Well, either side could win it, or it could be a draw.", made me wonder just how bad the soccer team has it. ...

I recall going to my son's T-Ball game a number of years ago and watching his team beat the living piss out of the opponents. Granted, they were all 5 or 6 years old but it was still fun to watch. It had been a long time since I had witnessed a "Mercy Rule" in any game and was surprised to see the Umpire call the game only 25 or 30 minutes into the game- I think they were up 15 to 1 when the game was called. I was bummed I only got 30 minutes of beer drinking in before the drive home. I remember walking to the car and hearing a mother console her son who was crying because they didn't win. She told him that the score doesn't matter and that he is a winner. This happened 7 or 8 years ago and I am ashamed, appalled and disgusted that this mercy rule (skunk rule), the "everybody is a winner" mentality has has grown to epic proportions. I do not think we have yet reached the unholy apex of turning our kids into pussies. The evidence is all around: monk...

It has been 6 weeks since the Gulf oil rig Deepwater Horizon exploded killing 11 people. Had this horrible leak not happened perhaps we would hear a little more about them? Millions of gallons of oil have belched out of the crack in a pipe 5000 feet on the Gulf floor. Here is a link to a depressing live feed of the spill if you would like to see what oil looks like as it exits the earth:  Oil Spill Live Feed As events unfold surrounding the cause of the leak, and as and failure after failure of BP to stop the leak hits the media outlets, the outrage grows at a logarithmic scale. It didn't take long for Halliburton to enter the conversation as we learn that they had just completed a well cementing operation just 20 hours before the explosion occurred that is now causing hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil to enter the Gulf. Coincidence? Here is a great write up on why we can justifiably point our fingers at Halliburton. Dick Cheney was VP of the company only 10 ye...

I first learned of this story from Michael J. Totten's blog post  A Most Disturbing Moment of Clarity . I would recommend reading MJT post as he is a brilliant writer and spent a considerable amount of time in the Middle East. I first started reading Horowitz about 6 years ago when I became interested in the Israeli-Palestine conflict. I knew the U.S. supported Israel and I thought it odd when a coworker said the State of Israel was bogus and that they have no right to be there. I couldn't wrap my head around that. I decided to research the whole mess, and I use mess liberally since I knew any conflict in the Middle East probably has roots dating back to the Old Testament. During my research I came across Horowitz and found that I both agreed and disagreed with some of his conservative thoughts. What I really liked about  Horowitz was his knack for drawing out the honest responses from people he talked to. It seemed like a Jedi mind trick. I downloaded and read h...

Arizona is hoping to do what the Federal government cannot by passing a controversial law intended to try and relieve the illegal immigrant problem within their state lines. I say controversial because that is the label it has been given by the majority of the morons in this country who get their news from Comedy Central or the 60 second radio snippet on their way to work. The 17 page document, cited as the “ Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe 27 Neighborhoods Act" , is an easy read and certainly not as long to read (and interpret) as Obama’s health care reform bill. The major uproar over the new law hails from the second paragraph in the first article on the first page. If you are one of those dorks who specializes in Internet shorthand you will probably be irritated by the ALL CAPS. The text does not represent yelling; I have copied the article directly from the law and have not edited its formatting. 11-1051   Cooperation and assistance in enforcement of immigration laws;...

I was going through some old files and had to install a Word Perfect converter to read an old archive. Many years ago I used to write at Gibe.com, in fact it is where I first started to write pseudo commentary (long) before Aloha Dump. I came across this gem in which I was in rare form and let someone named Horizon have it with both barrels. He was anti military, as evidenced by his post, and really bashed me for about a month before I wrote this final response- to which he never replied. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Re: Crime & Punishment 05-01-97 03:48:39 horizon Hey Shitster, how can you be on the net, with more info at your fingertips than the world has ever known, and still be so unbelievably ignorant? How is it that you can only look back as far as Iraq? I mean, I won't even go into the part where Hussein was "Our Boy" for years, only demonized by US, when he refused to obey. How about ...
