I can't stand the BATFE (and really big fires). I may be setting myself up to get a visit from some of Obama's cronies for that comment, but that is the truth.
As many of you know, the BATFE came up with this plan that would allow to straw purchasers* to buy guns from legitimate gun shops in the Phoenix area. The guns were allowed to be purchased by cohorts of Mexican drug cartels and were NOT tracked to the border or tracked when they entered Mexico. Whatever the purpose of this, a Border Patrol agent and ICE agent have been murdered by men with these weapons.
I was watching ABC news, when Barbra Walters mentioned that it was an operation that went terribly wrong.
What!!!
The operation happened exactly as it was designed. The BATFE agents allowed guns to be sold to ineligible buyers and then NEVER track them after they were bought. Babs and the other media idiots keep talking about it like something went wrong in the scheme. The only thing that went wrong was that Fast and Furious was allowed to happen at all. If they could just pull their self-righteous heads out of their pampered butts for a moment they will see that this was dreamed up by incredibly stupid and inept people.
To news anchors: Stop spinning this story to make it sound like these government bureaucrats made a good plan that got away from them. Call it what it is. A STUPID bureaucrat, working for an INCOMPETENT government, perfectly executing a Guns for Cartels program, that got two INNOCENT American citizens killed. And by not calling the BATFE on their crap, you are helping them cover up two murders.
As a side note I am going easy on both the anchors and the involved bureaucrats. Some of the things I wanted to say to them would be inappropriate even for the internet.
*A person with a clean criminal record that will buy a gun for another person who may or may not be eligible to legally purchase a firearm.
That Makes Me Angry!

Boy Bands
Anyone who has spent time with me knows that I can't stand boy bands. Whether it's Fankie Avalon or Justin Bieber, I cannot stand to see or listen to their music.
These bands/performers are just marketing ventures. A manager sets up a group of not to semi-talented prepubescent boys, and begins advertising them as heartthrobs. Their popularity grows as young girls, and some strange older ones, jump on the band wagon. Eventually, the group/performer is left behind as another boy band rises to power (if you consider making pre-teens swoon a power). There are many reasons they make me want to punch them, but here is a few.
1. They all sing alto or soprano. When was the last time a boy band came out on stage and one of them belted out some bass notes. Never. There aren't even any smooth baritones, or tenors. Nope all you get are squeaking altar boy rejects wearing tight trousers.
2. Tight trousers: I have been known to wear a snug pair of jeans, but the main difference (the difference that matters) is that they are made for men. You see, women's pants don't need as long of a...waistband area because they do not have parts that would necessitate that type pant. Men however do have certain parts, and when they try to wear girls pants (which is weird in principle also) they must wear them lower in order to fit their...selves into them. Although that might contribute to the falsetto voices.
3. None of them have much talent. I know of only one member of a boy band that is still in the limelight. Justin Timberlake is the exception though. After the novelty of their image wears off, they go by the wayside. Why? Because their only true talent is being a living Ken (more like a Barbie) for the managers to dress up as great boy friends.
4. They look too young. I was shocked to find out how old the Jonas Brothers were. They looked like pre-teen boys, not 18 year old adults. The managers need them to look young and innocent to sell the "great boyfriend material"
5. They are liars. With all of the things I have said above, they are mainly actors. And they are tying to convince the world they are something that they are not. Whether it be good guys, heartthrobs, talented, or men (haha). They are not, it's a marketing scheme, and many who are reading this right now have fallen for it.
6. Lastly their music is terrible. Much of this is subjective because I like good music, and this is not it. Their lyrics and melodies are repetitive as the blood-curdling screams of the girls and women yelling at them. Once you hear one song, you have heard them all. Real artists can have better lyrics, better skills, and better presence.
That makes me angry.

Drving Peeves Part 2
As I said last post, there are many things that dumb drivers do that make me angry. So to continue...
I cannot stand it when someone pulls out in front of me and does not speed up. I have pulled out in front of people by accident before. In fact I did this morning as the bushes beside my driveway are thicker than a mangrove. But the defining moment of pull out in front of someone, is what you do next. In order to get out of the oncoming cars way i did something drastic. I accelerated!
Many people (especially in Blount County for some reason) will pull out right in front of you and then drive so slow that a Zombie (the slow kind) could out pace them. So for all of those out there that do that, next time just push ion the little pedal on the right.
I know without a doubt that every reader has encountered a tailgater. It drives me crazy. What do they think they can gain by driving two inches from you back bumper? Do they think it will scare me and I will pull off the road to let the superior driver pass? But if I brake even a little to pull of the road, I will hear the lovely sound of metal on metal scraping. So there you are stuck in front of a manic trying the drive up tour tailpipe, and all the while you are thinking of how bad of a wreck you will cause when your blood pressure causes you hear to explode. But I digress.
Another driver that makes my brain boil, is the creeper. They pull up to a light and then, like a predator sneaking up on it's pray, they inch forward so they will be through the light a millisecond before everyone else. But instead of getting one person creeping up, the whole line of cars looks like a wave. If you don't know how to pull up to a light and keep constant pressure on the brake, you might want to take a serious look at your IQ level.

Driving Peeves Part 1
Just about everything that stupid people do on the road makes me angry. one of my pet peeves is when a person stops at a red light, but does so in front of the white line. I just want to roll down the window and ask them what they think that line is there for. It not decoration, or the remnants of a ghost that got run over. What is worse is when people in the center turning lane do it. You are wanting to make a normal turn out onto the road, but there sits an idiot, even with the straight through lanes, that just had to get a 5 foot jump on everyone else turning. and then while you try to remain in your turning arc, they stare at you with their mouth gaping open like some kind of raccoon you just found in your trash. All the while, you are plotting their poetic end. Then their light turns green and they become the next kind of annoying driver.
Seconds go by as the surprisingly short turn signal passes from green to red. Finally their two brain cells fire their synapses and they lurch forward like Taco Bell from your...well, let's not go there. As the light turns red, they are crossing the oncoming lanes and the other drivers sit there stewing in there hate, having moved no closer to their location.
That makes me angry.

Fast Food Assembly
The other day I was in one of the 'big three' fast food restaurants. I ordered a burger off of the value menu as I usually do. There were quite a few people in the drive through, but the dine in area was not crowded. I should have known better when I saw the workers in the back jumping around and chattering like rabid squirrels trying to collect acorns for winter. When I got my meal, the burger appeared bigger than normal in the wrapper. As I unfurled the wax paper I found what looked to be a burger made by Jackson Pollock. The lettuce was folded like a paper football and was completely off of the bun. The bacon (the best condiment ever) was burned to nice stomach soothing charcoal, and the sauce was shot across the whole lot like some sort of CSI arterial spray (high velocity is what Grissom would call it). After putting my Humpty Dumpty burger back together again. The patty was cold.
That makes me angry.
On a side note, I had a well-crafted burger a Chili's that boasted thick cut bacon. It was thick cut, but tougher than year old beef jerky (don't ask how I know) and drier than dried beef. It completely ruined my day. I wouldn't have eaten the bacon, but the burger was about $10 dollars, and the cheese was melted on the bacon. It ruined my day. Sometimes I have nightmares about it.

Mufflers
Don't you just love it when you are driving down the road, and all of the sudden you hear this sound. It's like a mosquito whining in your ear, but louder. You look and it's some idiot in a Honda, Nissan, etc. with one of the mufflers that makes the car sound like a bag full of crack-laden bees.
We've all been there. Some of you may be a proud owner of such a device. My advice to those with the device is to unbolt it from the car (while still hot), grasp it firmly as it sears the skin, and throw it off a cliff. If you are wondering if the muffler on your car is one such device of mass annoyance, here are some things to look out for.
1. Do you have a car that can be referred to as a rice-burner, glorified lawnmower, or an import tuner?
2. Do you have a muffler that without modification from factory specs, can be heard inside the car?*
3. Does you car have a Monster or Red line sticker on it?
4. Do you wear a cap with the unbent bill set in the 1o'clock to 3 o'clock position?
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, you might want to take a hard look at the way you are. You are annoying everyone around you, and for our sanity and your safety, lease stop.
* If you have a car that can be referred to as a sports car (having at least 6 cylinders and at least 300 hp), cannot be called a chick car, and is made in the USA, you may have a muffler that properly resonates the beautiful sound of the engine inside. Cherrybomb brand is preferable for a full-bodied, rumbling purr. If your car is not made in the USA, sorry. We American's made muscle cars what they are today, and if you don't buy American muscle, you have no muscle.

Mandated Healthcare
Raise your hand if you think that you know better than your neighbor/ fellow man how they should live their life. If your hand is elevated, ball it up and hit yourself with it. No Man, I say again, No Man has the power to tell another how to live their life. But the majority of Congress, the President, and the majority of the Supreme Court think that they have the right to tell us how to live our lives. In the Declaration of Independence our Unalienable rights to "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." Notice how we have the God-given, cannot-be taken-away, right to life. This means that another man has no power to end you life without cause. Guess what, it goes further. It also means that we have the right to live our life the way we see fit. No man nor governmental body can squander that right. If I want to shorten my life by eating fatty foods and driving without a seat belt, I CAN! The right to my life belongs to me, and I can live it and end it as I see fit.
Now some government officials are telling me I have to have health insurance to keep me healthy. Its one thing to actually want to keep me healthy, but that is not really why they want me and others in my age group to have health insurance. They want to force me to have health insurance, so that I can pay into it with little chance of needing to draw out money. Since my age group can pay so much into the pool without many drawing out of it, it will help keep the cost of government-subsidized healthcare plans low.
So not only are they taking money from me to prop up thelongest-running ponzi scheme social security, they may also take money from me by forcing me to have healthcare. In essence, I'm not taking care of my elderly family members (which is how things worked back in the good old days), but I'm paying to take care of every old Dick and Jane. Thank you US Government.
Needless to say, the government's actions in this set of laws has greatly encroached upon my individual right to life.
That makes me angry!
