Photographer has a problem with Totally Nude Temptations.

Evidently this photographer has a real problem with Totally Nude Tempations (a strip bar in downtown K.C.). So he decides to offer free family portraits for any man who shows up with his family in tow, to be taken in front of the club.

I guess we men are supposed to run like cockroaches exposed to the kitchen light. We're supposed to pretend that we've never been to strip clubs, that we never go to strip clubs, and never will again, right? Wrong.

This guy assumes that all families are as uptight as his. He assumes that everyone out there is of his nanny state mentality - ban everything you don't like. It's Smoking Ban Part II folks. If you don't like what's going on inside a club, BAN IT. Don't just decide you'll never walk in the front door, make sure nobody else can either!

Are the girls forced to work there? Are the guys forced to go there? Are the girls demeaned? The answer ( to anyone who has never known a stripper) is NO. Unless she already has a moral problem with it, in which case she's in the wrong line of work.

I'm tired of the moral majority folks. I'm tired of people dictating what can and can't be done behind closed doors between consenting adults. Let's all grab the wife and kids and run down to get our pics taken! Support your local strippers!

I just had a GREAT idea!

A vast, untapped profit center is just waiting to be taken advantage of. Stop and think about this for a minute: Every time there is any threat of severe weather, all our TV gets pre-empted with sensationalist weather coverage. People are frozen in their tracks and glued to the TV, gripped with a sense of impending doom.

At the same time, the media is losing revenue because there are fewer ads running. Simple solution: corporate sponsorship of tornadoes and hurricanes!

We could start by selling the naming rights to hurricanes. Forget hurricane Hugo. We could have the Sprint-Wal*Mart-Tide-Pepsi hurricane of 07. We could sell futures to these companies so that the top bidders would automatically be selected for the rights to the next big storm!

I can hear it now! "And today's severe weather, brought to you by our good friends at budweiser, is heading through tonganoxie. Looks like this Ford-Motorola-Costco F5 is gonna really pull some shingles off roofs. And remember, if yours is one that is in need of repair, you'd better hope you have Allstate insurance! And if you do, you can get your new shingles on sale right now at Home Depot!

Come on, admit it! I'm on to something here!

This article says it could

Who knows, but I don't think it can be completely ruled out.

All you people driving these 50,000 pound tank SUVs that need an extension ladder to get in... 50 miles each way to work by yourself, get out your visa card!

A Fox News story tonight lists a constitution party convention as an underdog that just "might have a shot" in the upcoming election. Well I'd like to ask, how do you "have a shot" when you only have ballot access in 20 states? The constitution party has been nearly defunct for years now. However, by contrast, the Libertarian Party (LP) held its conference in Kansas City 3 weeks ago. Fox conveniently ignored that convention.

I find it difficult to understand why the LP convention was ignored but the constitution party was featured. The constitution party doesn't even have ballot access in Kansas, yet the LP has ballot access in both KS and MO. Furthermore, the LP expects to have access in 48 states again this election cycle, just as it did in the last.

The LP convention featured a debate including former U.S. Senator Mike Gravel, former CNBC Co-anchor, best selling author, self made millionaire and "King of Vegas", Wayne Allyn Root. To top that off, former US House Representative Bob Barr announced his consideration for a run for US President at the convention. Barr is best known for leading the impeachment trials against Bill Clinton. He is currently polling nationwide at 7%, which is huge for a 3rd party candidate.

The LP is the only viable 3rd party in the United States. It is the largest 3rd party, and the fastest growing. But for some reason, it's not newsworthy compared to a party that apparently has nominated a pastor that nobody has ever heard of.

CNN showed up and ran the story nation wide, but for some reason Fox didn't show.

Why?

Folks I don't normally dabble in the faith section, but I have to get this one off my chest.

I'm tired of the religious right neo-cons claiming we are a Christian nation. We are not now, nor have we ever been.

Thomas Jefferson, the author of our Declaration of Independence and chief influence of our constitution, had serious problems with Christianity. So did many of our other founding fathers. I'd even go so far as to bet that many of them would fall under the category of Altheist by today's standards.

For example, under Washington's administration, a treaty was drafted, and signed by John Adams. The treaty starts off, and I quote: "As the government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws of Musselmen..."

Thomas Jefferson himself - arguably the greatest American and libertarian thinker of all time, once said, "Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea about the trinity. It is mere abracadabra of the mountenbanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus".

Barry Goldwater was the last true conservative. He got it right when he said, "Jerry Falwell needs a swift kick in the ass". Ever since the Goldwaters of the political world have been oustered from office, the religious right has hijacked our nation and revised history to claim that we are founded on Christianity.

Balderdash.

Every year when "Administrative Assistant" day rolls around, we shower ours with flowers, gifts, and praise. We take up a collection, we buy a card, we all sign it and woo these people into bliss. But I have a question about this practice: WHY?

WHY should I give you a card, give you flowers, do cartwheels and seranade ANYONE just for doing his or her job? We all work for a living. Most of us do the best we can. We all realize that there are both bad and good parts of our job. At some point everyone gets dumped on by someone as part of his or her job description. GET OVER IT.

When is truck driver's day? Or radio disclaimer reader guy's day? Or attorney's day? Or parking lot attendant's day?

This is ridiculous. it's all part of the "everyone gets a ribbon, because everyone is a winner" mentality that the bleeding heart insanity is perpetuating.

Do you job, collect your paycheck, be proud of what you do. You don't need cheerleaders just because you're doing what's expected of you. 

Instant idiots- just add water.

That advertisement should be embossed on quite a few cars in this area. Why is it that if there are 3 molecules of water anywhere on the surface of the road or the sky, people no longer know how to drive?

IT'S RAIN PEOPLE. Get over it!

I don't think I broke 8mph the entire way home tonight on I-35 because of W A T E R. You're not going to DIE! Depress the long, skinny, vertical peddle people. It will make you GO FORWARD, at speeds far in excess of 8mph.

General ongoing chit chat

According to a poll question on MyFoxKC, over 52% of us plan to use our stimulus package to pay down debt. At face value this seems like a good idea. However I can't help but wonder what's going on in the big picture.

Since the federal government is running a deficit (as usual), this money can be considered borrowed. So aren't we borrowing money to pay off our debts?  My dad used to say you can't borrow your way out of debt. But I guess that isn't true when the federal government is involved.

What's that old saying about robbing Peter to pay Paul? The modern version is robbing our grandkids to pay the credit card issuer. It's only a matter of time before the Chinese and Saudis own this country through our debt paper. Hopefully they won't want to foreclose.

Red light cameras - law enforcement or profit center?

It seems the mainstream media has finally caught on to what many of us have known for some time: the cameras going up at intersections everywhere in the U.S. are more about PROFIT and less about SAFETY.

Although a longer yellow light means a safer intersection, several cities have been caught actually shortening the time of the yellow light after installing cameras in a blatant effort to increase revenue.

Cha CHING....

Once again, his holiness Barak Obama has shown his true colors. This time, it may be a bit more difficult to smooth over since race isn't involved. These comments come from a man who has really never spent much time anywhere other than big government and big insttituions. They show his true view of small town America, and the good people who live there.

Recently the democratic savior said these words during a fund raiser in illionois:

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them," Obama was quoted as saying by the Huffington Post.

"And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations," he said.

How condescending. Yes, many Americans (myself included) cling to guns and the American way of life. It's called self reliance and rugged individualism. It's called mistrust of big government and socialist policies. But I suppose there isn't much room for that Barak's utopian society where people are stripped of their guns and right to self defense, turn to radical (and racist) religions such as his own, and sign away most of thier paychecks to him and his Robin Hood government.

And, predictably, his co-phoney Hillary opportunistically follwed up with John Cougar's (Mellanchamp, whatever his name is this week) song, "Small Town" at her next fund raiser. I thought she was from New York? Or was it Arkansas? Oh, wait... hang on, she speaks with a Southern Accent. Oh ya, that's only when she's in the South.

Hillary has since gone on record as "suppotring hunter's rights". This of course is a perfect demonstration of her lack of understanding of the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (assuming that's what she's getting at) and her revisionist history. Evidently, her reading of the 2nd amendment is, "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state; the right of the people to hunt and eat deer shall not be infringed".

Where do we come up with these jokers?

While playing at a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton, Elton John called the U.S. a misogynistic country. He went on to say that he is shocked that America has not yet produced a female president

Now, if you don't know what misogynistic means, don't feel bad; I had no idea either. Wikipedia says this:

Misogyny (GA , RP ) is hatred or strong prejudice against women. The word comes from the Greek words µ?s?? (misos, "hatred")

Ok, now pay attention class. Sir Elton John may be a knight in his own country, but he is NOTHING here as far as I'm concerned, other than another leftist celebrity spouting off.. I personally don't care what he thinks of our politics. He has come to this country as a guest and chosen to insult us, and it has exposed his ignorance. But his question deserves an answer.

We haven't produced a female president because we haven't had a good female presidential CANDIDATE. Hillary is not only a bad choice, but I suspect that Elton is not supporting her just because she's female (and even if he was that's an obvious problem). No, he supports her because she is a fellow leftist, who is committed to following his European model of socialism.

So I say to Elton John, if you want us to elect a woman for president, how about you FIND US ONE that is viable. Or, better yet, if you don't like it, GO HOME.

There' s a reason why 10,000 bikers walked out of a stadium in Miluakee when Sir John showed up for Harley Davidson's 100th anneversary. This attitude probably has something to do with it.

Almost all Americans agree: It's time to get tough on illegal immigration. Yes the federal government, as always, has been slow to react. The feds have let this problem grow unchecked until it has become a complete political nightmare. And the silent majority has been, well, just that: silent.

Predictibly, the backlash has started. Next comes the rallying cry of reactionary government, "do something, DO ANYTHING". Well the ANYTHING now at the federal level is a huge waste of our tax dollars. I'm talking about the fence that is being built on our border. Anyone who has spent a day on a farm knows fences only keep in animals that want to be kept in. The same is true of people. Especially when they're hell bent on breaking through that fence to milk our welfare system and basically invade our country without ever firing a shot. These people will do ANYTHING to defeat the fence, including using dynamite, tunnels, planes, and anything else you can imagine.  Most estimates say that it will only slow a person down by a few minutes.

So what is the solution? Well surprisingly enough, it's not something the feds can do for us. (They COULD, if they'd bring our troops home and station them on our BORDERS where they belong). But the reality of the issue is that our borders are lawless and completely open.

While the feds waste our time and money building a fence that won't last 10 years, we can do something here at home. Let's crack down on employers who knowingly hire illegals. There is a bill pending in the KS legislature (SB 458) that seeks to do just that. It will make knowingly hiring an illegal a FELONY. The jobs go away, the money dries up, the illegals go home. They can then seek to enter in through our FRONT door rather than our BACK DOOR.

SB 458 has sailed through committee so far (last vote was 40-0). As the legislative session winds down, please remind your elected officials that THIS is a step in the right direction.

It's time for the silent majority to stand up to the race-card playing illegals and defend our sovereignty.

OT part III

Thanks again to all of my most awesome friends here!

OK I just finally figured out how to fix a very frustrating problem. I want to pass the info on here in case anyone else has run into this.

I have an XM radio that I use at work and in my car. In my car, I use the casette adaptor (it's a fake tape that has a wire going to the XM receiver to send the signal).

Well my car stereo has auto reverse, and it doesn't play well with the tape adaptor. It keeps reversing itself, then spits the tape out and says "bad tape" on the display.

Here's how you fix this very annoying problem:

Take the tape adaptor apart, There is a little white gear in between the rubber wheel that makes contact with the stereo. This white gear is turned by the rubber wheel and it then turns a bigger gear which turns the casette gears via a middle gear. Sounds complicated, it's not. Just look at it and you'll figure it out.

PULL THAT STUPID LITTLE WHITE GEAR OUT and put the tape back together.

You have to leave the middle gear (big one) because both wheels have to spin or your deck will think it's not working and spit the tape out. If done correctly, the rubber wheel is intact, both the reel gears still spin in synch, but they are disconnected from the rubber wheel.

Hope this saves someone else some headaches.
