as always – it’s HERE and goddamnit, click and
read it as it’s intended. I only have one pet called peeve, and your probably
going to witness it below…go to 1ryderfakin.com.
Yep, it’s Flea and I can’t
think of one religion that doesn’t celebrate Thankgiving…except bulimics and
probably Indians. Bulimia!?!?!…Nope, I believe every word of the genocide
inflicted upon the “Native” Americans…talk about getting the short end of the
stick. I drink heavily because I can, and in some weird way – damn, if “my
people” got served Turkey and then were summarily wiped out is mass quantities,
I would probably be shitfaced drunk and mean in Jerkwater, Idaho too. The only
thing more foul than yelling at a bunch of Pool Playing Mexicans analogies
between them and a Cueball: ” Know what you and that ball have in common? The
harder you hit it, the more English it takes!!” hawr hawr hawr…nah, what’s
more rude is being surrounded by a bunch of drunk Indians, beating them out of
their Drinking Money and using said money to play that ridiculous song that
blares from the jukebox CHEROOOOKEEE PEOPLE!!!! CHEROKEEEE TRRIIIIAAABE”…oh
man, I’m sure people have been brutally beat for nonsense like that, but luckily
I wasn’t one of them. Even a Drunk Indian finds humor in a long haired freak now
and then. Especially when you know your way around a peace pipe and explain in
Graphic Detail why a Squaw is better than any New York Hooker you can find.
Happy Turkey Day, my Native American Friends! All apologies and sorry that you
had Marlon Brando on your side when it was time for protesting, instead of
serious people like Huey Newton and Malcom X. To the Bulimics – more for me and
enjoy the taste of your own vomit…FLEA ADVICE: Cranberry Sauce is only good on
a one way trip. Don’t think it’s blood – just stupidity.
Not sure if you noticed,
but I haven’t been writing for a while. No good reason, there never is, even
when you try to explain it. I never got around to the Meat and Potatoes of
“America”, the part two version. Let’s just say that I was cut off at the knees
by the World Tag Team Champions of…strike that. I can’t be mean to my friends.
But you know them as Frank Format and Chris Hyatte, who turned a drunken prelude
to something that might have been useful to all and one, into what appeared,
even to me, as a nonsensical rampage on why I’m better than everyone in 12-Part
Format Harmony. So why bother? It was more fun for me to read all the little
crybaby cunts who think America died after this election…and I’m not including
Eric S. in that – just all the people in his Post Mortem Election column that
think Canada is a better place to live than America. If you want to go that bad,
email me – or comment in the link provided below. I’ll gladly pay your way, and
all the costs it takes you to get the f*ck out of MY country. Christ…Eric –
you should have titled that whole section YAM, and you know what I mean.
And don’t think this is a
strike on Eric S – I know his opinion, he knows mine and we both love this
country, regardless of what he says sometimes. We just look at things from a
different point of view. But damn – some weird people read his
columns…probably a lot of them read mine too, I just am spared the Feedback.
But Eric was right in one aspect – the America as we have known it (not from
1776, but from around the 1930’s…or at the very least, since LBJ was in the
White House) , is dead. Or will die, sooner than later. Get rid of this
entitlement bullshit that has enslaved American for the better part of the
“American Century” and get back to what’s good – People Making Money. And having
the right to spend that money on your own future instead of financing a failed
Generation that thought they were making a difference, when all they were doing
was drugs and having sex, which begat AIDS and shoving “meds” down their kid’s
throat instead of “child-rearing”. Don’t think the Baby Boomers are going down
without a fight when it comes to “getting theirs” re: Social Security and the
likes, but f*ck anyone that has to depend on the Government in their Old Age,
when we had the 80’s and 90’s (and soon to be 00’s) to make enough dough to
choke a horse. Although, I do question Eric’s judgment as far as “the pills” are
concerened. Especially when booze and other substances are RIGHT THERE. Yeah, I
know. But then I know from Dog Tranquilizers too, but multiple hurricanes will
do that to you.
and Happy Birthday…hope I
make it to that lovely number. Knowing my luck, I will
We better get to it, before
I start rambling…
Come on, let’s
go!
TOP STORY
The WWE financials came out
his week and things are going about as I predicted a year or so ago. North
American house shows are failing, so they are planning to take more business
overseas and continue to reap the profits of an archive of wresting that can’t
be beat. How about that ECW DVD? Flying off the shelves!!! I read a few quotes
that spoke ill of the current WWE DVD releases collecting dust ( I think No
Mercy was used as an example), while ECW was in hot demand. Well, no shit.
Anyone who ordered that PPV is hopefully smart enough to hit the REC button on
their VCR’s, so the demand for that is probably not going to close to Paul E and
Company spilling their guts on how they invented everything but the Question
Mark. The Rise and Fall of ECW, aptly named (regardless of was Tazz says) is
very strong, and very accurate. It portrayed the “Little Promotion That Could”
about as well as can be expected, and has apparently brought back many precious
memories from the people involved, the people who were there and the people who
“stole” everything that ECW “invented”.
I laughed the whole way
through…and laughed some more at people who “just can’t watch it” due to it
being to “emotional”….ha ha ha ha – I was there for much of it, and yoozta to
get all my comments no-sold by people who are very “established” now in the
IWC…as much as they claim not to take things seriously, they damn sure shut
the f*ck up when Brian Pillman called the whole lot of them “Smaaarrrt
Maaaarks”…cause they were – and still are. Most have jobs now on the fringe of
the wrestling industry because Paul E was brilliant enough to take advantage of
close to free labor, and many are proud to say they were involved. Which is fine
– a big part of the DVD was putting the fans over..the same fans that…ha ha ha
ha – the best part of the DVD was the exchange / explanation of Bischoff’s
“raiding” (Paul E and Vince’s term – “an acquisition” was the verbiage of
Bischoff) the ECW talent, specifically Benoit, Eddy and Malenko, by offering
them more money and “job security”. Bischoff wondered why everyone was all up in
arms about “business”.
Paul E.’s response was
pretty much “he’s full of shit and his head is a solid turd”. Oh man – that
takes balls. Especially since Heyman was on Vince’s payroll (the time frame for
that is still a mystery, but 2+2 still equals 4 sometimes) and then later in the
DVD when the Dudley’s got a WWF(E) offer and, for the most part, BEGGED to stay.
Per Dreamer, they wanted ONE DOLLAR MORE and Heyman refused. But Saint Heyman
always wanted what was best “for the boys” – so long as it wasn’t going to WCW.
In my opinion, you can’t write comedy or collusion better than that, without
going to court or being the Class Clown of Clown College. Great job by all with
this DVD and I doubt WWE is going broke anytime soon. WWE 24/7 is about to go
national, and…well, I’ve been called “eccentric” (on nice days) and “a f*cking
moron” on others for howling about how the future of the business is in
Archives, 24/7 and Overseas Business, but I just got paid a hell of a dividend
from a stock that ain’t in the “penny range”, regardless of what people…people
who wouldn’t bet on givens like Death and Taxes…tell you.
Of course, nah – Flea don’t
know from nothing. The company will be bankrupt this time next year – leaving it
to someone else to provide The Rise and Fall of WWE. And pay my bar bills off
their column writing money, I’m sure

How about some cut and
paste, then move along to Page Six?
FLEA ON
TAXES:
I would never go for a flat
tax in a million years – strictly because the only fun I get out of getting
raped four times a year is “creative accounting”. Of course, when the IRS comes
knocking, it’s brutal. That happened a couple of years ago and…let’s just say
there is no way to beat it. Who was the guy who came out in favor of abolishing
the IRS? Elect him KING now!
Seriously, the “flat tax”
idea just isn’t feasible. That’s why the “rich get richer, poor get poorer”
argument is only political rhetoric
For 1999, the most recent
year for which complete Internal Revenue Service (news – web sites) statistics
were available, 6.3 million taxpayers whose incomes were in the top 5 percent
paid more than 55 percent of all income taxes. They had adjusted gross incomes
above $120,846 a year, meaning spouses could earn a bit over $60,000 each and be
considered among the nation’s richest.
“It’s very easy to move
into the top echelon of taxpayers,” Hodge said.
The wealthiest 1 percent â€â€
those earning $293,415 and up  paid more than a third of the taxes, while their
share of the nation’s taxable income was 19 percent. They pay income taxes at
the top rate, now 38.6 percent, compared with a maximum rate of 15 percent for
most lower-earning taxpayers.
Taxpayers in the bottom
half paid only 4 percent of income taxes in 1999, according to the IRS. These 63
million taxpayers earned, on average, less than $26,415 a year.

The flip side to making
something of yourself is not only being “one of them” (which usually leaves you
open to blatant alienation / hostility / jealously from your ex-friends), but
also requires you to carry the burden for the various “government programs” that
have been ingrained into this society. Which is why I hope W makes serious
inroads at “reform” of these programs that have run their course. The Baby
Boomers are set to bankrupt this country, at the expense of Generation X, Y and
Z. I’m a “Gen Xer” and take great pride and delight knowing that I figured out
early to plan ahead instead of waiting for a government handout when (if) I make
in to my Sixties.
It’s a tough pill to
swallow when “Corporate America” allegedly gets the break with tax cuts. But the
old saying is – no bum is ever going to pay you to work. Florida just voted to
increase the Minimum Wage, which has many business people nervous in this state.
An extra dollar an hour means 10 employees making roughly $200 per week ($2k
paid) will now be making $240 a week (2.4k paid)…that’s two more people that
feasibly won’t be hired…but they will have to be hired to maintain an
acceptable form of Customer Service when business in a booming economy picks up.
That doesn’t sound like
much, but realize that most business owners aren’t exactly living the life of
the Rich and Famous. They bust their balls to NOT be a slave to the corporate
ogre, but get punished by “making it a fair playing field for all and one”. And
have to bend over quarterly to justify their existence to the Gestapo.
IRS.
In other words, leave tax
code as is – but make the “tax cuts” permanent. And let business be business.
Speaking of Florida and bums, right off the Interstate exit this afternoon were
two good ol’ boy crackers with the signs reading “Homeless will work – Need
Food.” Well, goddamn. They must have been drunk when Four Hurricanes destroyed
this state and must not have been told that business owners are putting serious
money in everyone’s pockets that are not afraid nor ashamed to do some kind of
physical labor. I didn’t ask, only waved. Their waving back showed me that their
arms ain’t broke, they are. You can’t force people to work – you can only force
people making money to support them

FLEA ON THE
ELECTION
I think history will show
that this was the right thing for this country…it’s not going to be easy for
the next 2-4 years, as difficult choices / changes are needed to allow America
to grow into the 21st Century instead of clinging to the tit of “entitlements”,
“class warfare” and the general status quo of world politics that directly led
to to 9/11.
The Democratic Party is
sunk, which I think is the worst thing in all of this (we are barely a two party
system as is)- but, they put all their eggs into one basket, running “against”
Bush instead of “for” themselves. Early results show that GOP picked up a seat
in Congress, and the only bright spot at this point is Obama…I refuse to call
Hillary Clinton’s de facto figurhead leadership of The Democrats “a bright
spot”.
I love the fact that this
election generated the voter turnout…but it shows me what I have thought all
along – The Dems should have won this one hands down, but ran an incredibly
horribly managed campaign, behind someone who I never thought in my almost 30
years of despising him would be this close to being The Top Dog. Quite frankly,
it;s no one’s fault but their own they booked a loser.
The only fear I have is
this one turns out like 1972 – McGovern ignighted the youth vote, only to get
stopmed by an Incumbent Republican, during a war and stagnant ecomony, only to
see said Republican resign two years later in a cloud of shame / blatant
criminal behavior. And America had no one to blame but themselves…the old
saying is “in a representative democracy, the people get the type of government
they deserve”.
That would have been true
either way tonight – I’m just glad Bush is going to be allowed to finish what he
started instead of America looking square in the face of possibly 16 straight
years of Democrat Party Rule. “rich get richer, poor get poorer, CC the United
Nations on anything we need to acomplish” is outdated thinking, and I hope that
with this election, America can move beyond that…
and
later
OFB:
Sooner than that. I don’t have a link yet, but Air America Radio is
reporting that John Kerry just conceeded the election. Hate being the one to
report this, hate having to report this. Way too early. Way too early. Count the
f*cking votes.
EDIT: Confirmation.
Fuck you, Kerry.
This “concession” comes as
a shock to me, but not really…given their track record (all “right” /”left”
views aside, the DNC (and voters) knew (or should have known) what they were
getting with these two…)
“John Kerry and I have
made a promise to the American people that with this election every vote would
count and every vote would be counted. Tonight we are keeping our word and we
will fight for every vote,” Edwards, a North Carolina senator, said.
– John Edwards, last
night
FROM AP: Kerry ended
his quest, concluding one of the most expensive and bitterly contested races on
record, with a call to the president shortly after 11 a.m. EST, according to two
officials familiar with the conversation.
“Congratulations, Mr.
President,”
– John Kerry,
today
One last FLIP, then FLOP!
and
later…
spf:
Congrats Grimis, Stagger, Flea, and all the other Republicans on the board.
Hopefully we’ll all get to serve in the W Battallion when we all get drafted for
Operation “Ah hell, let’s just pave this middle east over” in 2007. I just hope
none of us get any dubious purple hearts…we might not become president because
of it ;)
For the record I am not a
Republican – I voted for Clinton’s second term and most likely *may* have voted
against W if 1)I didn’t think that this country is going in the right direction
fiscally and for damn sure on a Political Global scale…taking care of business
that should have been addressed in the 70’s, 80’s…definitely in the 90’s
when
a) we were already there
(Bush I) and
b) in all the years that
Clinton sat and watched as the WTC got whacked (twice) and the Middle East
evolved into a serious threat while America was too busy making money hand over
fist to worry about things like “foreign policy” and “social program
reform”…the time to do all this was the years between 95-98, when Capitalism
allowed for such mean deeds – when people are making money, they go along with
just about anything. W at least has a vision in both the financial arena and
wasteful government programs to reform and has the common
decency/smarts/advisors to finish what we started overseas…is it going to be
rough? Of course…serious change and progress can’t happen overnight…let me
get to the “2” of why I didn’t vote against W…
2) because it was John
Fucking Kerry – a useless bastard that has haunted me since I was old enough to
understand the pain he inflicted upon my family (and many others) by coming back
and “cleansing his soul” – or, for you agnostic types – “clearing his
conscious”…I also remember 1984, when he was elected a Democratic Senator in
MA – now *that’s* job is for life, same as a Supreme Court Justice. I was 14 at
the time and knew that this asshole would be around to haunt me for as long as I
followed politics…never did I think he would have the nerve or the following
to come within a mismanaged campaign of being Leader of the Free World
I watched in disgust as he
had the audacity to wrap himself in the flag and then trot himself out at the
DNC Convention and say he was “reporting for duty”…nearly every snow-blind
Donkey voting Democrat I know called me that week in a fit of rage, saying they
would have to swallow their pride, burn their registration cards and vote for W.
You don’t alienate a group of “your own crowd” by being “Christian” and “for
Family Values” et al. It takes a certain amount of sheer gall to be ignorant
like Kerry and stick a pitchfork in the only other “worth voting for” party we
have in this country…damned if he didn’t.
In between all this – he
picked John Edwards, a punk of a trial lawyer whose claim to fame was having the
dead voice of a little girl run through his dreams as tried his best to crucify
two industries. I made a career out of burying cheap pricks like that – anyone
who thinks he is the “future of the party” is fooling themselves. He couldn’t
carry Florida, as this state just voted AGAINST the Lawyers. I suggest Bill
Nelson…good guy; don’t agree with his politics, but he is “center” enough to
draw one of these days. Most likely the next Governor of this State.
spf:
Hopefully we’ll all get to serve in the W Battallion when we all get drafted for
Operation “Ah hell, let’s just pave this middle east over” in
2007.
There will be no draft. And
the “war” will be over by this time next year. The only reason it has gone on
this long is because W used politics to engage the enemy – all bets are off now.
And I’m pretty much sick of people crying the blues about our soldiers dying –
they signed their Death Warrant when they joined the Military….much like many
of the Men and Women who died as Police Officers and Fire Fighters did during
9/11 and still do to this day, in every State and County and City – it’s a Risk
of The Trade. What was wrong was many of the less fortunate being drafted for
Vietnam, dying and getting pissed on by a cocksucker like John Kerry…what is
even worse is the Men and Women who volunteered for said War, 30 years later,
being trapped in a corner and going against their principles to make sure a
self-serving bastard like that got what he deserved:
A Front Row Seat in the
Loser Section while America does what is Right. Couldn’t happen to a better
guy…I’m bummed he had to take a whole Party down with him to prove something I
knew at the age of 14, but …I never got off on being proved right, neither
personally nor professionally, but some people ask for something
Ask, and it shall be
given you; Seek, and ye shall find; Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. –
– Matthew 7:7
Yep…my advice is to take
a Road Trip or two….and go broke. Worse comes to worse make a Gideon Bible
Page Sandwich – but never underestimate the God quotient of this Country. Many
of us have Gay friends and find it acceptable – but the same many think that In
Drag Tongue Kissing on The Steps of a Courthouse is a little “over the
top”….
Leroy:
Funny, but my father – a staunch Republican who also did a tour in Vietnam
(about a decade before you), and whose basically the toughest and smartest man
I’ve ever known – told me he all but disown me if I ever entered the military.I
won’t go into detail into his issues with the military, but he doesn’t think
highly of it. And he’d probably laugh out loud at “Military makes a man a
man”
And my best friend –
who did three years in the army and a tour in Bosnia – said it was about the
most dysfunctional and poorly managed organization he’d ever been a part of.
They were practically BEGGING him to stay in when his time was up. He started
marching in anti-war protests BECAUSE of his experiences in the
army.
Granted, both my father
and my friend are not typical of vets – but this “For love of country” is not a
unanimous.
I remember us getting into
a semi-heated debate about this a long time ago in another thread…as I said
then, they (the ones I mentioned then) voted their own way, which was their
way.

Oh yeah – something for
Thanksgiving…
Rumor has it that Vince
held a little impromptu this week regarding changes to WWE’s product and wanted
to know what his staff thought of the recent direction of WWE. Word has it that
one person voiced dissention and Vince just thought that one person was sick.
Then TWO people stepped up to voice their dissention, but this time in two-part
harmony. Vince called them both a “couple of fagsâ€Â. Then THREE people, THREE
PEOPLE stepped up and Vince realized he might have the starts of some kind of
organization against him. But the final nail was when STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN
made his return, grabbed his gee-tar and rounded together FIFTY various members
of the fed and started a movement! According to “inside sourcesâ€Â, this is what
was said/sung:
You can get anything
you want
At Alice’s Restaurant
You can get anything you want
At
Alice’s Restaurant
Walk right in, it’s around the back
Just a half a
mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want
At Alice’s
Restaurant!
La da di da da
At Alice’s .Restaurant!!!!!
Vince listened, but was not
all that impressed with the Anti–WWE Massacre Movement. HE knows what he is
doing and will make the changes HE wants to make. And more people will be laid
off / fired. (Cepting Stone Cold, they are glad when he’s around).
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks for reading
