540- CALLING IT AS YOU SEE IT

SOME SPORTS ANNOUNCERS GOT THEIR FOOT IN THEIR MOUTH WITH THESE SLIPS OF THE TONGUE
Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators during the 2004 Summer Olympics that they would most like to take back:
Weightlifting commentator: "This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."
Dressage commentator: "This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."
Paul Hamm, Gymnast: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."
Boxing Analyst: "Sure there have been injuries,and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious."
Softball announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again."
Basketball analyst: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces."
At the rowing medal ceremony: "Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew."
Soccer commentator: "Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field."
Tennis commentator: "One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them... Oh my God, what have I just said?"!
Well make my day, and yours too! .....GED.....

LIST OF ALL THE DAYS MEN THINK ABOUT SEX AND SOME OTHER THINGS

Examples of those days are:
Tuesday
Thursday
Thisday
Thatday
Today
Tomorrow
Thaturday and
Thunday
At the exact same time, there are two young men on opposite sides of the earth: one is walking a tight rope between two skyscrapers, the other is getting a blow job from a 90 year old woman. They are both thinking to themselves the exact same thought.
What are they both thinking?
Don't look down!
The Code:
A husband and wife decided they needed to use "code" to indicate that they wanted to have sex without letting their children in on it. They decided on the word 'Typewriter'. One day the husband told his five year old daughter, "Go tell your mommy that daddy needs to type a letter." The child told her mother what her dad said, and her mom responded, "Tell your daddy that he can't type a letter right now cause there is a red ribbon in the typewriter. "The child went back to tell her father what mommy said. A few days later the mom told the daughter, "Tell daddy that he can type that letter now. "The child told her father, returned to her mother and announced, "Daddy said never mind with the typewriter, he already wrote the letter by hand."
Just as easy as pie and didn't even use up any typewriter ribbon either.

537- ITS ABOUT WOMEN

I HAVE BEEN DRILLING AND SHOWING THE MEN HOW TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES, but now I will attempt to show a side of the women we all must be aware of also.
Confusing words used by women and what they mean...
WOMEN'S WORDS: FINE: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
FIVE MINUTES: If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
NOTHING: This is the calm before the storm. This means "something," and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in "Fine".
GO AHEAD: This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.
LOUD SIGH: This is not actually a word, but is a nonverbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing".
THAT'S OKAY: This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
THANKS: A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say you're welcome.
MEN, YOU HAVE NOW BEEN INFORMED DO NOT TAKE THIS LESSON LIGHTLY!

534- SHORT TAKES

FUN FART FACTS FOR FREAKY FLATULENT FRIENDS
Stupid Facts - Fart Facts -
Farts are created mostly by E. coli.
On the average a fart is composed of about 59% nitrogen, 21% hydrogen, 9% carbon dioxide, 7% methane, and 4% oxygen.
Less than 1% is what makes them stink.
The temperature of a fart at time of creation is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
Farts have been clocked at a speed of 10 feet per second.
A person produces about half a liter of farts a day.
Although they won't admit it, women fart as much as men.
Termites are the largest producers of farts.
Farts are flammable.
The word "fart" comes from the Old English "feortan" (meaning "to break wind").
Excess gas in the intestinal is medically termed "flatulence."
I know that I've just saved you the time of of looking for these facts yourself, thus saving you a considerable amount of your valuable time today. No you don't really need to thank me, this is what I do! Any time I can be of help, just let me know.

533- CUC - WhatTF?

IS EVERYBODY HERE REALLY AS STUPID AS THEY SEEM TO BE?
LETS LOOK AT A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS
Take a look at the accompanying photo, that is U.S. Interior Secretary, Dirk Kempthorne and our own rep. Pete A. checking out CUC's power plant. Is this not a simple fact easy to understand? Then why did we do this.....Taiwanese power firm looks at Saipan plants... Here is their assesment.
More than anything else, the power outage problem plaguing the CNMI is caused mainly by maintenance problems, according to representatives of a visiting Taiwanese utilities company based in Guam. Four officers from the Taiwan Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Services Inc. have been visiting the power plants on Saipan and, based on their initial assessment, said the CNMI's power plants urgently need maintenance work to improve output. No Shit! Now whyTF do we need to bring in Taiwanese electrical officials to tell us we have a problem at the CUC power plant for? It sure didn't take a study to tell us there is something wrong, something that we all have known for years. How many times do we need to be told CUC is fu*ked up? Maybe we ought to consult with North Korea next, they seem adept to building plants for all kinds of reasons.... Now all wise men say that 'the first step to solving a problem, is to realize there is one', (a very old adage) so I ask you, have we not yet found out and realize there is a problem? Now I'm assuming this first step is now concluded.
In other news: The sixth of eight power engines in the Commonwealth Utilities Corp.'s Power Plant 1 in Lower Base malfunctioned yesterday, triggering more outages in many areas on Saipan, on top of the scheduled rolling blackouts. Do you think there is a serious problem?
Next the most stupid action of all.... House Bill 15-273
Acting Gov. Timothy P. Villagomez has disapproved House Bill 15-273, which would have required two currently nonexistent panels to approve any move to privatize local power operations. Villagomez said the bill was not workable and would make privatization of the Commonwealth Utilities Corp. practically impossible. Villagomez cited several reasons for the veto.“It is not workable. It amends a statutory section that was repealed and replaced just a few weeks ago. It requires the CUC advisory board to do things that the board is not empowered to do; and it conflicts with the express language of the CUC 'statute.' More fundamentally, the bill creates an unworkable privatization process, one which would, as a practical matter, eliminate privatization of the CUC,” he said.
I'm not even going to try make heads or tails out of this and try to explain it, read it yourselves here...... READ ABOUT IT HERE
This current legislature needs to get its head out of its ass and ask the Taiwanese how to write a bill, surely they could help in this area too. Meanwhile lets all keep throwing our hard earned cash at these idiots, lets not demand immediate improvements, lets keep out heads in the sand, and continue to be blindly ripped-off. WhoTF cares?

531- So..WHAT HAPPENED?

CORRODED POWER LINE TRIGGERS OUTAGE, RESULTING IN THESE HIGHLY TECHNICAL AND SKILLFULLY EXPLAINED REASONS.
A high voltage wire near the Commonwealth Health Center in Garapan caught fire yesterday, cutting power to five electrical grids and causing more outages in many areas on Saipan, on top of the scheduled rolling blackouts.Commonwealth Utilities Corp. spokesperson Pamela Mathis told Saipan Tribune:
Explanation # 1
That those two feeders instantly failed because they run on the same power pole system on Middle Road.
Explanation # 2
“It has to travel out through those two feeders. So with both of those feeders down there's no way to get energy made from Power Plant 4 to the customers.
Explanation # 3
It can't travel through power lines that are down,” she said.
Explanation # 4
Mathis said the line caught fire because of corrosion.“The line was completely corroded. It had been worn down,” she said.
And, Explanation # 5
“When you got a high level of electricity traveling through it and it hits this worn down, corroded parts.” Mathis said.
Well I think that completely explains it to a tee. I gonna guess that leaves you hanging, just like it did me. What is the next sentence gonna say? I guess the real question should be this. Why are these, so called power company operators allowed to even keep their jobs? Can't anyone see what we have here doesn't work, hasn't worked for years never will work again until things are completely changed? So what the hell are we waiting for? Everyone to go broke, or choose to leave this place? I know the sneaky-smart governor has a solution in his pocket that he isn't telling us about, you know, like he has all those new investors just waiting to pour there money into this "blackout economy' thing. He will solve this problem before you can spit and say howdy. He might even have had a chance to ask the feds for some help, but I don't think he's in any position to do that just now considering how he is so adept in managing to keep them pissed-off. So life goes on, the power goes off and we sit here on do-nothing island with a do-nothing government. Playing do-little games with do-little things, spiraling down the toilet...

530- EVER PARANOID

DID THEY OPERATE ON THE GOVERNORS LOWER BACK OR GIVE HIM A FRONTAL LOBOTOMY?
This is surely a very paranoid and confused person. Lets examine just what he's saying and maybe why. Some short context to try to interpret. Fitial said his "first recommendation is to set the effective date for two years after enactment of the legislation. This would also provide additional time for the CNMI to recover from its current economic depression. So we are gonna recover from this economic depression in two years, without any thing even promising on the horizon? If this is not done, it seems only prudent to anticipate the need for a possible extension of the effective date for the transition program and specifically to authorize consideration of such an extension at some point (perhaps nine months after the bill’s enactment.) This is already set up for failure when he's asking for extensions before the darn thing is even off the ground. He said problems "may arise if many of these new lawful alien residents elect to stay in the commonwealth". O.K. here he's saying there will be problems if too many people choose to stay and keep working here. Fitial also raised a concern over the possibility that many of the intended beneficiaries of the non immigrant status program may relocate to other parts of the U.S. He said this would leave many employers at a "disadvantage." So on the other hand, at the same time he's saying that too many workers will choose to leave, so just what the hell does he mean, he can't have it both ways. This is proof of complete paranoia, a 'Murphys Law' syndrome, if you will, its not, 'if something can go wrong it will', but, 'everything will go wrong no matter what happens'. This man needs serious mental help!

Oh, What the hell, 10 years from now who'll even give a shit anyway?

529- THE SAGA of EAST TIMOR

EAST TIMOR WAS THE LAST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD TO DECLARE ITS OWN INDEPENDENCE.

Here's the story of how it went down and just how well it worked for them. This should be taken into consideration by Stanley Torres as he rattles around talking Independence for the CNMI.
East Timor declared itself independent from Portugal on 28 November 1975 and was invaded and occupied by Indonesian forces nine days later. It was incorporated into Indonesia in July 1976 as the province of East Timor. An unsuccessful campaign of pacification followed over the next two decades, during which an estimated 100,000 to 250,000 individuals lost their lives. On 30 August 1999, in a UN-supervised popular referendum, an overwhelming majority of the people of East Timor voted for independence from Indonesia. Between the referendum and the arrival of a multinational peacekeeping force in late September 1999, anti-independence Timorese militias - organized and supported by the Indonesian military - commenced a large-scale, scorched-earth campaign of retribution. The militias killed approximately 1,300 Timorese and forcibly pushed 300,000 people into West Timor as refugees. The majority of the country's infrastructure, including homes, irrigation systems, water supply systems, and schools, and nearly 100% of the country's electrical grid were destroyed. On 20 September 1999 the Australian-led peacekeeping troops of the International Force for East Timor deployed to the country and brought the violence to an end. On 20 May 2002, East Timor was internationally recognized as an independent state.
A pretty tough row to hoe, I think. This was not an easy or simple thing, a lot of people died...I'll leave it with you as it is.

528- THE COUNTRY OF...

I HEAR THE LOOSE CANNON, STANLEY TORRES, IS RATTLING AROUND AGAIN. THE CAPTAIN OF A SINKING SHIP
Talking shit about becoming an independent country. Well isn't that a fine noise to be making at this time. Here are just a minor few things to start to consider, mind you I haven't even scratched the surface with all the complications that would be involved. Here's my short take....
IF YOU SECEDE..... THE COUNTRY OF THE MARIANA ISLANDS?
IS THIS WHAT STANLEY TORRES REALLY WANTS?
Here are
the main things to take into consideration.
Your nationality or citizenship. (Now U.S. citizens.)
You will no longer be a U.S. citizen you will be a ‘whatever’ you decide to be. You would be aliens in the U.S. Doesn't that have a nice ring? No U. S. passport, find your own friends.
Your money. (Now the U.S, dollar.)
You would have to print your own money and back it up. May I suggest you call it a ‘Torres.’ That has a wealthy sound. 100 ‘torres’ equal $1.00 U.S. dollar.
Your protection. ( Now the U.S. military.)
It’s now up to you. Can you remember how many times other countries came here and simply had their way with you? Was it 3 or 4 times? Call France or China if you need help. How about the Guam military?
No more aid, welfare, grants or CIP funds to name a few you are swimming on your own.
I simply can’t imagine this place without this support.
Postal service. (Now the U.S. mail.)
Guess you could send your stuff with politicians as they go on junkets.
Who the hell are we kidding? This place is a sinking disaster now, alone you may as well take up fishing, growing taro, and bananas. Get the old carabao and the carts back, Forget electrical power, cars and phones. The conclusion…
A REAL NOWHERE PLACE, FORGETTABOUTTIT… STANLEY!

527- THE MANS CODE part II

THIS IS THE SECOND PART OF THE MAN CODE (Part one post # 518)
A few days ago I listed the first part of this unwritten code of conduct for men, today I will list the second half.....
The universal compensation for buddies who help you move is beer.
A man must never own a cat or like his girlfriend's cat.
When stumbling upon other guys watching a sports event, you may always ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing.
When your girlfriend/wife expresses a desire to fix her whiney friend up with your pal, you may give her the go-ahead only if you'll be able to warn your buddy and give him time to prepare excuses about joining the priesthood.
It is permissible to consume a fruity chick drink only when you're sunning on a tropical beach... and it's delivered by a topless supermodel... and it's free.
Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.
A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight.
If a buddy is outnumbered, out manned, or too drunk to fight, you must jump into the fight. Exception: If within the last 24 hours his actions have caused you to think, "What this guy needs is a good ass-whoopin", then you may sit back and enjoy.
Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another man while weight lifting: "Yeah, baby, push it!", "C'mon, give me one more! Harder!", "Another set and we can hit the showers." " Nice ass, are you a Sagittarius?"
Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both. That's just plain mean.
If you compliment a guy on his six-pack, you better be referring to his beer.
Never join your girlfriend/wife in dissing a buddy, except when she's withholding sex pending your response.
Never talk to a man in the bathroom unless you're on equal footing: either both urinating or both waiting in line. In all other situations, a nod is all the conversation you need.
Unlocking a car door for another man is polite. Opening it is gay.
These rules are to be strictly adhered to by all manly men.
Now you have been informed.

526- HOUSEHOLD TIPS

THESE ARE SOME HOMESPUN TIPS TO HELP WITH TOUGH HOUSEHOLD PROBLEMS.
ALSO SOME VERY GOOD SUGGESTIONS AND HELPFUL HINTS TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER.
Copy and print this list for future reference. You never know when these tips may just save your day......

HOUSEHOLD TIPS:
Flies
or bees bothering you? Spray them with hairspray and they will take a quick dive.
Use Empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords. They stay neat and you can mark them.
For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and put Dawn dish washing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps.
Crayon marks on walls. A damp rag, dipped in baking soda.
Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops. Use rubbing alcohol on paper towel.
Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal for inside windows. This way you can tell which side has the streaks.
Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean.
Don't wash windows on a sunny day. They will dry too quickly and will probably streak.
Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely light scent in each room when the light is turned on.
Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes will smell freshly washed for weeks to come. You can also do this with towels and linen.
Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3 hours prior to burning.
To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag and add the flowers. Shake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the dust and dirt and leave your artificial flowers looking like new.
When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the corn's natural sweetness.
Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and leaves a lovely smell to the shine.
Uses for Alka Seltzer:
Clean a toilet.
Drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush and flush.
Polish jewelry. Drop two Alka Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and immerse the jewelry for two minutes.
Clean a thermos bottle. Fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour (or longer, if necessary).
Unclog a drain. Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka Seltzer tablets down the drain followed by a cup of Heinz White Vinegar. Wait a few minutes, then run the hot water.
And now my tip of the day... Have a very good one!

THEY ADDED THIS NEW VIDEO THING TO BLOGGER SO HERE'S A TEST
This was the shortest clip I could find and it takes a long time to download and then a long time to play. To me it's not worth the time.

So here's what I can tell you. To VIEW THE CLIP, click the little triangle button ( bottom left) twice until you get 'buffering' to appear in the top left of the screen, then wait, I don't know what buffering means but it won't play until the little grey line slowly creeps across the bottom of the picture. To me this was awful slow, so I don't know. Three times out of four it stopped before completely crossing the space thus not showing the complete clip. Only one time did I get to see the whole clip. It also seems to make my blog take longer to download by just being there, I'll probably delete it at a later date. Has anyone else tried this and what results did you get? Also did anyone get this clip to play completly through? Please let me know. Thank you.

Funny, I don't remember being absent minded...

518- THE MANS CODE part I

EVERY GUY KNOWS THIS CODE OF CONDUCT FOR MEN, BUT SOMETIMES WE ALL NEED A REMINDER
These rules of conduct are an unwritten code but I'm putting them down here in writing just for all to be sure to follow. They go like this.....
Thou shall not rent the movie Chocolate.
Under no circumstances may 2 men share an umbrella.
Any man who brings a camera to a bachelor party may be legally killed by his fellow party goers.
Unless he murdered someone in your immediate family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 12 hours.
You may exaggerate any anecdote told in a bar by 50% without recrimination; beyond that, anyone within earshot is allowed to call BULLSHIT. (Exception: When trying to pick up a girl, the allowable exaggeration rate rises to 400%.)
If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off-limits forever.
The minimum amount of time you have to wait for another guy who's running late is 5 minutes. For a girl, you are required to wait 10 minutes for every point of hotness she scores on the classic 1-10 babe scale.
Complaining about the brand of free beer in a buddies refrigerator is forbidden. You may gripe if the temperature is unsuitable.
No man is ever required to buy a birthday present for another man. In fact, even remembering a friends birthday is strictly optional and slightly gay.
Agreeing to distract the ugly friend of a hot babe that your buddy is trying to hook up with is your legal duty. Should you get carried away with your good deed and end up having sex with the beast, your pal is forbidden to speak of it, even at your bachelor party.
Before dating a buddy's "ex", you are required to ask his permission and he in return is required to grant it.
Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to pick a buffalo wing clean.
If a man's zipper is down, that's his problem - you didn't see nothin'.
There is now no reason for any guy to be caught breaking this code of conduct. YOU ARE NOW INFORMED! This is only half of the code I will, at a later date, give you the rest of it.

517- AN ELEPHANTS MEMORY

AS YOU ALL KNOW AN ELEPHANT HAS AN 'UNFORGETTABLE' MEMORY
This poor dude relied on this fact to befriend an 'old friend' who he thought would remember him, but alas.....
In 1986, Mkele Mbembe was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University. On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Mbembe approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Mbembe worked the wood out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Mbembe stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Mbembe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day. Twenty years later, Mbembe was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Mbembe and his son Tapu were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Mbembe, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man. Remembering the encounter in 1986, Mbembe couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant. Mbembe summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Mbembe' s legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly .
Probably wasn't the same elephant.
Now remember this story and don't go in an old elephants cage even if you think you know him!

516- CAUSES AND EXCUSES

EVER BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT AND SCRAMBLED FOR AN EXCUSE OR REASON WHY IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT
Well here are some doozies, they are also kinda humorous as accidents may be.....
Incidents with Pedestrians: The pedestrian ran for the pavement, but I got him.
The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.
I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him.
To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front I struck a pedestrian.
The pedestrian had no idea which way to run as I ran over him.
The car in front hit the pedestrian but he got up so I hit him again.
I saw a slow moving, sad faced old gentleman as he bounced off the roof of my car.
A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.
I saw her look at me twice. She appeared to be making slow progress when we met on impact.
I knocked over a man. He admitted it was his fault, as he had been run over before.
I miss judged a lady crossing the street. She suddenly saw me, lost her head, and we met.

ONCE MORE ITS THE SAME OLD SHIT AND NOTHING GETS DONE!

When is the government, the MVA and the residents of this place going to see the reasons for the steep decline in tourists? DO NOT let the MVA kid you and try to make you think its the airlines fault that less and less tourists are coming here. They are bullshitting the public, it has nothing to do with empty seats, the seats would be available if the visitors wanted to come. It has to do with exactly the reasons listed below.....
EYESORES GALORE: Bystanders look at the heavily vandalized stage of the Susupe Regional Beach Park yesterday morning. Used to be the most well developed local public recreation facility on Saipan, the park is now a major eyesore with its dilapidated benches, scattered trash, collapsed pavilion, and graffiti. Local residents are calling the attention of the government for the renovation of the park.
DEQ raises red flag at 17 Saipan beaches: The Division of Environmental Quality has raised the red flag on 17 sites on Saipan and advises the public not to fish or swim within 300 feet of these locations for the next 48 hours or until otherwise notified.The agency said samples collected from Nikko Hotel, Aqua Resort Hotel, Tanapag Meeting Hall, Central Repair Shop, DPW Channel Bridge, S. Puerto Rico Dump, Smiling Cove Marina, American Memorial Park, Outer Cove Marina, Micro Beach, Hyatt Hotel, Fiesta Resort, Fiesta (Dai Ichi) Drainage, Hafa Adai Drainage, Garapan Fishing Dock, Garapan Beach, and Community School Beach contained excessive concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria-enterococci-that exceeded the CNMI Marine Water Quality Standards.
Over and over I keep bringing this issue up, and will continue to do so until someone sees the light.

513- PETE A. IS RIGHT

THE ONLY ONE WITH A LOGICAL WAY OF THINKING (And a mandate from the voters.)
Our elected Washington Representative is the only official that seems to get it. Why does everyone else seem so blind to the fact that the Federal government IS going to take over Labor and Immigration in the CNMI. Why not get on the band wagon and help. Why not have some input in the process? Why be out of the loop and simply take what is legislated by the U.S. congress? Wouldn't it be smarter to get involved, take part in determining what goes down? We can be block-headed and refuse to participate in the drafting of the bill, thus accomplishing nothing for the betterment of the CNMI. But noooo, these idiots want to stall the process with a report, only delaying the inevitable for a short time, and continue to simply reject the whole bill completely, doing absolutely zero, zilch good for anyone. They will simply not accomplish anything. They wanna take their toys, and like crybabies, pout and go home. This will NOT help anyone or anything, why the stupidly and ignorance? Here is what the elected D.C. Rep. says....

REP SAYS IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION COMING
The Washington Rep was the only elected official that spoke in favor federalization at last weeks immigration hearing...Pete A. tells KSPN News today that he thinks the administration is taking the wrong approach in dealing with Congress and should turn its effort to participate in the framing of what the immigration legislation will eventually look like.

Makes absolute sense, exactly what I've been saying all along. Get a grip governor maybe you should participate in the drafting of this very important bill about to be placed upon us instead of acting like a fool! There I said it again. .....GED.....

512- BLIND GOLF

NOW I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT YOUR GAME
This has got to be next to one of the most impossible feats one could ever conceive.
Posted on Tue, Aug. 21, 2007
Blind golfer hits hole-in-one: The Associated Press
LEHIGHTON -- Sheila Drummond didn't need to see her hole-in-one. She heard it. Drummond, blinded by diabetes 26 years ago, experienced the highlight of her golfing career Sunday, recording an ace on the 144-yard, par-3 fourth hole at Mahoning Valley Country Club. Playing with her husband and coach, Keith, and two friends in a steady rain, the 53-year-old Drummond hit a driver on the hole. The shot cleared a water hazard, flew between traps and landed on the green, where it hit the flagstick before dropping into the hole. "They were saying, 'It's a great shot,' and then I heard it hit the pin," Drummond said. "For a hole-in-one, you have to hit it onto the green, so it's a little bit of skill and a lot of luck." In 1999, Golf Digest said the odds of an amateur getting a hole-in-one are 1 in 12,750. That number, no doubt rises, for a blind golfer. Drummond is a member of the board of directors of the United States Blind Golfers Association, and the organization believes she is the first totally blind female to record a hole-in-one. "We've looked everywhere, and haven't been able to find anyone else," she said. Drummond took up golf about 15 years ago, and three years later qualified as the first female member of the USGBA. "I just try to do the best I can," said Drummond, who carries a 48 handicap with the USGBA. "I get nervous. "But I wasn't nervous (Sunday), I just don't like playing in the rain.".....
The next time you are golfing in the rain and things don't to seem to be going too well, remember this spunky little lady and keep on going, things will get better.

510- THE THEORY

I HAVE BEEN WONDERING WHY THE GOVERNOR IS ACTING SO STUPID ABOUT THE LABOR AND IMMIGRATION BILL AND HIS STUBBORN STANCE AGAINST IT


After a few times mentioning there must be some self serving and greedy motive I finally came to this conclusion. This is just my speculation and is not based on any facts or research, its just a swing in the dark relying on instinct only. Here is my written theory........

MY THEORY ON FITIAL 8/22/2007
I have been wondering for quiet sometime as to why the governor was being so block headed, stubbornly sticking to an absolute defiance of the changes being made by the U.S. Congress on federalizing labor and immigration. Not only arguing against the take-over but not even contributing to the terms and conditions of the bill. As I’ve been saying there must be some deal or some type of personal benefit that he will be losing by having the Fed’s take over the L& I and tonight, however I think I’ve hit on a possible reason for all his stubbornness. Here are my thoughts. Ben Tan and his brother Willie want to start their own small airline company, but with the federal government now watching over L & I, and having to approve all actions of all tourists and foreigners coming and going to and from the CNMI, Fitial would loose a great negotiating power by not having single handed control as how the airlines would operate, dictating who may come and who may go. I can see how this would be a major stumbling block to a free rein of the industry. This could be the possible reason to his defiant, stubborn and total rejection of any control of L & I by anyone other then himself. Herein lays the motive for the course of action he is taking, and the root of that is greed and selfishness. One can easily see through the problems that the Fed’s may cause by taking over L & I, and the amount of power that would be lost by Fitial. Simple when it is laid out in the open, if this not the reason for being block headed then it’s still something of a personal and selfish nature for him to be so vehemently against everything.

What is the difference between Michael Jackson and a grocery bag?... One is made of plastic and is dangerous for children to play with....the other is to carry groceries.

What's six inches long, two inches wide, and drives women wild?... Money.
Two men are approaching each other on a sidewalk. Both are dragging their right foot as the walk. As they meet, one man looks at the other knowingly, points at his foot and says, "Vietnam, 1969."The other hooks his thumb behind him says, "Dog shit, 20 feet back."
A journalist had done a story on gender roles in Kuwait several years beforethe Gulf War, and she noted then that women customarily walked about 10 feet behind their husbands. She returned to Kuwait recently and observed that the men now walked several yards behind their wives. She approached one of the women for an explanation. "This is marvelous, "said the journalist. "What enabled women here to achieve this reversal of roles?" Replied the Kuwaiti woman: "Land mines."

506- OPEN YOUR EYES!


I KEEP REPEATING THIS MESSAGE HOPING IT WILL EVENTUALLY DO SOME GOOD... BOONIE DOGS, BEACH POLLUTION, MORE TRASH AND THE DISREGARD OF CONSERVATION LAWS.

As you can see I'm not the only one sending this message! Others, too are complaining, even as grand plans are being made to show art work in the airport, this place is just not attractive to tourists anymore. When will our leaders, the MVA, and the comminity deciede something needs to be done to rectify this mess? Do we have to wait until there are NO more tourists to wake up? or is it wait until someone ELSE comes here and does it for us? This seems to be the trend nowdays letting others come here do the things we can't seem to do on our own. Maybe an outbreak of rabies would bring Federal health officials to stop the blatent disregard for unfettered dogs and unsanitary pollution. READ THIS LETTER........If I Were a Tourist: I CANT help but replay the words of the governor to the U.S. House subcommittee — the commonwealth’s primary industry is tourism. Well, if I were a tourist visiting Saipan this weekend, I would have,
• Picked up 33 pieces of trash during a hike. Mind you, none of the trash was mine;
• Saw and tried to feed an emaciated dog with a collar embedded in his neck.
• Tried to enjoy myself at Paupau but was approached by three starving puppies.
- Noticed one pregnant female (dog) trotting around Pau Pau, in addition to numerous other adult dogs in the area;
• Witnessed several large barbeque parties at Sugar Dock, but then I noticed the line of juice boxes, beer and soda cans, and styrofoam bobbing in the water along the shoreline only a few feet from the family barbeques;
• Witnessed a small boat pick up three spear fisherman in the conservation zone just off of Managaha on Saturday.
• Witnessed one commercial boat openly fish in the conservation area on Sunday.
Wow, what a memorable weekend. I’ll be sure to tell of my friends about this place. Maybe they too would like to spend $1,200 on an airplane ticket to experience the wonders of third world America.

503- ALL KIDDIN' ASIDE

SOME REALLY GOOD WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE BETTERMENT OF YOUR LIFE.
An Inspirational Lesson, Motivational Thoughts...Ten Ways to Worry Less and Accomplish More
1. Don't think of problems as difficulties. Think of them as opportunities for action.
2. After you've done your best to deal with a situation, avoid speculating about the outcome. Forget it and go onto the next thing.
3. Keep busy. Keep the 24 hours of your day filled with these three ingredients: work, recreation, and sleep. Don't allow yourself time for abstract thinking.
4. Don't concern yourself with things you can't do anything about. Armchair generals don't win battles, but they do have nervous breakdowns.
5. For the time being anyway, eliminate daydreaming completely. Stop building air castles.
6. Don't procrastinate. Putting off an unpleasant task until tomorrow simply gives you more time for your imagination to make a mountain out a possible molehill. More time for anxiety to sap your self-confidence. Do it now, brother, do it now.
7. Don't pour woes and anxieties to other people. You don't want their sympathy - it'll merely make it easy for you to feel sorrier for yourself.
8. Get up as soon as you wake up. If you lie in bed, you may use up as much nervous energy living your day in advance as you would in actual accomplishment of the day's work.
9. Try to arrange your schedule so that you will not have to hurry. Hurry, a blood brother to worry, helps shatter poise and self-confidence, and contributes to fear and anxiety.
10. If a project seems too big, break it up into simple steps of action. Then negotiate those steps-link rungs in a ladder...one at a time.
And don't allow yourself to think about the difficulties of step number two until you've executed step number one. What were you worried about this time last year? Can't remember? See doesn't matter now probably wasn't that important then.

502- SIDE AFFECTS

THE CURE SEEMS TO BE WORSE THEN THE ILLNESS
Just on a whim I decided to look up some side effects to some drug prescriptions and couldn't believe what came up. I typed 'medicines and side effects' hit search and picked a few of the medications on the first page. Here are some amazing results.....
Ativan - generic Lorazepam - which is an antianxiety medication and also a mild tranquilizer and sedative. This prescription drug may be used in the treatment of bipolar disorder. Ativan / Lorazepam Side Effects: Check with your doctor if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome: Clumsiness or unsteadiness; dizziness or lightheadedness; drowsiness; slurred speech Abdominal or stomach cramps or pain; blurred vision or other changes in vision; changes in sexual desire or ability; constipation; diarrhea; dryness of mouth or increased thirst; false sense of well-being; headache; increased bronchial secretions or watering of mouth; muscle spasm; nausea or vomiting; problems with urination; trembling or shaking; unusual tiredness or weakness
HAVIDOL is for the treatment of Dysphoric Social Attention Consumption Deficit Anxiety Disorder (DSACDAD). It is the only known medication available for this newly recognized disorder. SIDE EFFECTS: As with many medications, there can be side effects. This risk must be balanced with the medical need. Most patients find the benefits outweigh the risks. All people taking medicines have some risk of becoming dependent on the medicine. Consult your doctor about how this may affect you. Adverse events may include: Mood changes, Muscle strain, Extraordinary thinking, Dermal gloss, Impulsivity induced consumption, Excessive salivation, Hair growth, Co-dependency with inanimate objects, Markedly delayed sexual climax, Inter-species communication, Taste perversion, Terminal smile, Oral inflammation, Very rarely users may experience a need to change physicians. ( You won't need any social attention with all this shit going down. You''ll be in deep thought, playing with dildos, talking to monkeys and looking for a sane doctor.. This is wild.)
Concerta is methylphenidate, a mild central nervous system stimulant used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children. Common side effects of this medicine: Inability to sleep, nervousness, restlessness, lack of appetite. Dizziness is common. Rise slowly over several minutes from sitting or lying position.

Holy shit, can you believe all this? I was flabbergasted when I read this, just look at some of these side effects, I'd think I'd rather stay sick or crazy, or whatever it is supposed to cure.

494- CUC, MANAGEMENT

CUC.. JUST WHY THE HELL CAN'T YOU GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER AND OPERATE THE POWER COMPANY LIKE A REAL BUSINESS?
You are making all different kinds of rules and rates for everyone. Residential customers get this rate plus xxxx costs, commercial customers get this rate plus xxxx costs, government gets this rate plus xxxx costs, non conforming customers get this rate plus xxxx costs etc. Next the 'do little' legislature is trying to change the numbers to get the politicians re-elected this year and every other idiot who wants to get his name in the paper is squealing about the rates and offering their own suggested rates. A business operates this simple way ...What does it cost to produce the product, what are the total expenses and what profit do you want to make. You then get a cost structure to establish a billing rate. Its very simple. CUC you sell KWH's they all cost the same to produce, so every one who uses 1 KWH should pay the cost of 1 KWH. There isn't any difference if it goes to a school, a poker room, a government office or a hot water heater in a residence. They are all the same. They all cost you the same to produce no matter where they are used. Therefore they should all cost the same to use. What the hell is so complicated about this? Next you get the silly government throwing out numbers, everyone grabbing a favorite number out of the air with no idea as to what the real cost to produce a KWH really is, no friggin clue, not even CUC has that answer. Lets just swing in the dark and hope we hit something. Is this any way to run a utility company, on total guesstimating?
A simple ass formula... Cost to produce and deliver 1 KWH = $
Therefore 1 KWH should be billed @ 1 $, .... 10 KWH's should be billed @ 10 $. etc..... Across the board.
This is very simple shit why can't you all get it? Just look as this mess....Under the bill's latest version, residential customers will no longer be charged any non-fuel rates for the first 1,000 kwh of power consumed. They will only have to pay the electric fuel rate, which will be pegged at 17.6 cents per kwh initially. The electric fuel rate may fluctuate depending on the actual cost of fuel. However, the bill punishes consumers who do not save electricity. They will pay a non-fuel rate of 44 cents per kwh, plus the variable electric fuel rate of 17.6 cent per kwh.
The flat monthly customer charge, currently at $7.67, will be cut down to $3.50.
The original bill's provisions for business and government customers, as well as non-conforming load, have been deleted......
What the hell does this mumble jumble mean, "Consumers who don't save power get punished"??? Are there power saving police? I'll tell you what it means...They don't have a friggin clue as to what they are doing! Lost in a fog, brain dead, babbling idiots and we are paying out the ass for this... And still have daily power outages! Next it will be rejected by the governor and they will all be left standing there with their thumbs up their asses, wondering what to do next! I'm tired, ask any questions you may have under comments. Good night! .....GED.....

493- THE END OF AN ERA

WHY IS THE GOVERNOR SO BITTER, VINDICTIVE, PISSED-OFF AND GENERALLY LOSING HIS COMPOSURE?
Well I'm gonna try to tell you why. What he sees is an end to the 'good ole boys era' no longer can they bully everything to go their way. He is pissed off because the minimum wage was raised, giving his favorite buddy's, the garment industry a shock, so he says, but it was really NAFTA that ruined them, had nothing to do with the minimum wages. (Now his point of view) Now, damn it, they are gonna take over labor and immigration too, This will really set me back on making my under-the-table deals with investors, cuts me off to do things the way I wanna do 'um. Then there is the 'people' getting tired of my bullshit, that I can't control any more. People like Tina Sablan are getting in the way of my control, telling the 'people' there different choices and different ways, different then mine. My good ole boys club is not in my control anymore. The Covenant party is dissolving right under my nose. Now I'm really pissed, goddamn David Cohen is getting in my way too. Why is he here, stupid guy is stepping on my toes. And those 'illegal aliens,' all 500 of 'um need to be deported, those assholes are getting in my way too. When I go to the hearings with the U.S. Congress I will revert back to the good old way of campaigning. Talk really loud, shout, demand things be given to me and act like an idiot. Boy, if I could only place about 1000 signs along every road coming to this place, everyone would then know who I am, and who is in charge. Poor old me, guess I'll cease to exist. Goddamn it. ....GED....

491- MORE THEFTS

ONCE AGAIN THIEVES APPARENTLY WITH NO REGARD FOR OTHERS PROPERTY AND NO CONCERN ABOUT GETTING CAUGHT ARE RUNNING UNABATED
And this time the things they are getting their hands on are really big. $400,000.00 dollars worth of copper wire?, if they can get that off the island they should be complimented for being way ahead of the law. Well I'm going with the law these idiots will get caught...and when they do they must be punished, judge, sock it to 'um, when these guys hit your court send a message that this island is goddamn tired of this shit. Enough already. No more suspended sentence and community service...hard time, the new jail is now getting ready to finally open so give it some customers....Partial story here...Copper wire thieves hit La Fiesta and American Memorial Park. COPPER wire thieves stole an estimated $400,000 worth of copper wire and aluminum conduits from the former La Fiesta Mall in San Roque, leaving the Department of Public Works field office there without power. This, according to the Department of Public Safety, is the biggest copper wire theft since these cases became rampant late last year. Six cables with diameters as thick as a coffee mug and containing four 500 millimeter cables inside, hundreds of yards long, were cut from the main power supply. Smaller cables were also stolen and insulators were dumped like spaghetti noodles in the hallways on the ground floor and second floor. “We freaked out when we saw what’s left,” Guerrero said. .... American Memorial Park authorities are also investigating the disappearance of $4,500 worth of stainless steel cable which they believe was stolen from the north side of the park fronting Outer Cove Marina. The whole story here... WIRE THEFTS . .....GED.....
