What the ____?

I found this story on foxnews.com:

"A Venezuelan TV channel, under the watchful eye of President Hugo Chavez, has yanked "The Simpsons" off the air after a government agency ruled it may be inappropriate for children...

Televen TV station spokeswoman Elba Guillen said Monday that the decision to hand over the daily 11 a.m. time slot came after the state National Telecommunications Commission said it had received complaints from viewers.

"It had to be taken off," Guillen said. "They consider it to be a series that isn't appropriate for that time because it isn't appropriate for children."

OK I agree with the fact that the Simpsons aren't actually suitable for children so let's replace the time slot with some programming that young children can get something out of. I flipped through the stations on my TV to see what kind of appropriate kid shows were on here in the US around 11 AM. Here's what I found:

Barney - the purple dinosaur that instills traditional values in preschoolers

Ni Hau, Kai-lan - a cutsie show for preschoolers that teaches kids a few Chinese words - not very useful in Venezuela

Oswald - a little boring and mind-numbing show about an octopus and his dog weenie. I don't get the show but then again its not aimed at my age group. I did a little research and found that Oswald is for kids under the age of 3.

Sponge Bob - Are you ready kids!!! This show is as pointless as wiping your *ss before you take a crap. I'd rather the simpsons.

So, what did Hugo Chavez replace the Simpsons with? Was it with one of these wholesome kid shows?

NO!!!! They took the Simpsons off the air because it was inappropriate for children and replaced it with "Baywatch," which features bikini-clad bombshells and muscle-bound hunks working as lifeguards on the Hawaiian coast, has been running in the 11 a.m. slot since Friday."

Hugo Chavez great move!!! Let's remove programming that is unsuitable for toddlers and replace it with Baywatch!!! Can someone please explain to me how Baywatch qualifies as quality children's programming?

Como se dice "Hackett is a hypocryte" en Espanol?

In case you're living under a rock Hackett started digging up some dirt on his opponents and found that Damn Meuser hired some illegal aliens eons ago. This is starting to sound like a Hillary Clinton tactic. Dig up dirt from something that happened 13 years ago when you yourself are guilty of doing the same.

Damn Meuser decides to fire back after finding out that Senor Hackett hired a little housekeeper - the stereotype of hiring a young sexy little Latino lolita lingers in the back of my mind. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

ANTI-SLANDER COMMENT: This may not be the case but the Cialis is kicking in.

Grab the shovel Chris 'cause guess what! You're digging yourself a bigger hole for yourself. First you f*ck up any chances of getting the GOP seat back in the 10th and now you're trying to over-explain yourself. There's a fine line between coming clean and burying yourself in sh*t.

Hackett claims to have done nothing wrong by allegedly mistakingly hiring a lolita and firing her once she admitted she was an illegal alien. According to ICE officials Chris Hackett did exactly what he was supposed to do: fire her. Here's where the hypocracy exists: Chris Hackett says he takes a strong stance on illegal immigration. So why the f*ck didn't the deuschebag report her to ICE? His excuse was that he didn't want to violate her humanitarian rights and that he didn't feel he was required to report her. Granted the guy wasn't supposed to report her but you can't say that you take a strong stance on illegal immigration by letting her roam free to scrub someone else's floors in a cute little maid outfit on her hands and knees and wait around for the libs to give her amnesty. Here's a guy who's claiming to run on a platform to be part of a solution not part of the problem. By failing to report her to ICE he is allowing a broken system to work. Doesn't sound like much of a guy who's trying to be part of a solution to me. If he were really strong on illegal immigration he would have had her *ss deported.

Mr. Hackett will tell you that it's not the people's job to act as policemen after reading the above paragraph criticizing his actions or lack thereof. Uhmm... Chris you're not acting as a policeman by reporting her to ICE any more or any less than if you were to call the police if you saw someone breaking into your neighbor's house. You would be just informing the proper authorities to investigate and leave the matter in their own hands. WAY TO GO CHRIS!!!

This Gets Better Yet!!!
OneSource got investigated for hiring illegals many times!!! Hackett's claim is that employees provided false identification and that the people who "probably" illegal aliens were hired unknowingly. I don't know much about this area but I'm sure there's gotta be a way that a temp agency can verify SSNs so before writing this I relied on someone who knows more about business than I do. I asked Paul Swiderski (you know the guy who dropped out of the race?) if employers can check employees' social security numbers. Here's what he said:

Eddy,

Any employer can verify the Social Security Number of new hires, as well as existing employees, by using the Social Security Administration’s Social Security Number Verification Service (SSNVS) or the Dept. of Homeland Security’s e-Verify service. Both programs are free. To verify legal working status, you need to use the Dept. of Homeland Security’s e-Verify system. I don’t know a lot about the latter program but know that it is available. Links to each program are below:

www.uscis.gov/E-verify

http://www.ssa.gov/employer/ssnv.htm

I know a lot more about the SSNVS program. I strongly advise my small business clients, particularly new employers, to take advantage of this service in an effort to avoid any problems with quarterly/annual payroll tax return filings. All new employers whom I do business with are provided with a booklet that details information on their compliance and tax responsibilities as employers. Directions on how to access the database are provided in this booklet.

There are two methods in which an employer can verify SSNs:

• “Verify up to 10 names and SSNs (per screen) online and receive immediate results. This option is ideal to verify new hires.
• Upload overnight files of up to 250,000 names and SSNs and usually receive results the next government business day. This option is ideal if you want to verify an entire payroll database or if you hire a large number of workers at a time (SSA, 2008).”

The intent of the database is only to verify an employee’s SSN for tax purposes. It is not meant to be used for the purposes of conducting a witch hunt on your employees. The SSA strictly prohibits an employer from

“taking punitive action against an employee whose name and Social Security number do not match Social Security's records… A mismatch does not make any statement about an employee's immigration status and is not a basis, in and of itself, for taking any adverse action against an employee. Doing so could subject you to anti-discrimination or labor law sanctions” (SSA, 2008, par. 2).

SSA, 2008, Information and Instructions [for use of SSNVS]. Retrieved April 7, 2008 from: http://www.ssa.gov/employer/ssnv.htm.

I hope that this information helps, and if you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Paul R. Swiderski, MBA

President

Here's my take: Hackett should've done a better job at verifying SSNs with at OneSource and he should've taken a tougher stance with his lolita.

The Last Great American Actor

Let's face it movies today don't have the same appeal as they did when cinema was king. Sure there are great epic movies today but few will ever become classics like Ben Hurr the Ten Commendments and the Planet of the Apes. In some of these classic movies was one of the bravest conservative leaders in Hollywood in an ocean of liberal scum. Hey in Hollywood anyone who openly admits they're conservative is brave. It's easy to be a lib in movie land but it's difficult to face them remain steadfast to your principles and not get sucked into the Hollywood hype.

No matter whether you like his movies (or even saw them) you have to admit that he believed firmly in his right to speak up no matter what the cost. He knew he was going to get heat speaking up and for being one of the few voices of conservatives in Libland. He did it anyway and often with charisma. Charlton Heston was a patriot in every respect of the word. He will be missed.

I'm back!!!

Howdy. I'm back and madder than ever!!!

The Gulf coast was warm and sunny and the fishing was great. Now that the primary is one month away it's time to start commenting again.


Meuser's taking a beating from Hackett and it won't be long before he starts firing back - boy it's gonna get UGLY!!! Looks like Hackett just blew it for the republicans in the 10th. WAY TO GO CHRIS!

On to the Presidential race. Here we have two libs promising to raise taxes by $15 billion and who they're targeting may be surprising. FOX NEWS reported that Obama and Hillary are targeting the poor and middle class with their tax increases. Wonderful. In the meantime we have some schmuck from Arizona who *oops* called himself a conservative liberal republican who is getting pounded by the same campaign reform law that bears his name refused to make the Bush tax cuts permanent and can't make a stand on illegal alien reform. It doesn't matter who's getting in the White House our country is screwed. America it's time to bend over and break out the ky jelly.

I been away

I am sorry for not posting for a while but not sorry at the same time. You can have the sh*tty NEPA weather I am down south sitting on the west coast of Florida catching 10 pound plus channel cats near Clearwater. But I'll be back for the primary.

I may be away but I'm keeping tabs on some things.

The 10th race is quiet because everyone is busy getting petitions. My prediction is that Swiderski & Haire will pull out of this race before the 12th. Haire will be busy checking for his own cataracts thinking he can get the 1000 signatures needed to enter this contest and if he endorses anyone it will be Meuser. Swiderski probably won't get the required amount either based on a conversation I had with him earlier today. He says that tax season is keeping him from getting out there meeting people and that he's relying on a dozen volunteers to get the deal sealed. Someone get me the crash cards because this guy's campaign is flatline. Look I like the guy and support him but I am trying to be as "objective" as possible. He made an attempt at trying to do make a difference but it just wasn't his time. Given the constraints of tax season he had no chance to beat Meuser and Hackett with shoe leather. The good news is that if he doesn't get the signatures needed to get on the ballot Swiderski said he will spend his time doing what I think is worthwhile and that is rebuilding the party in Luzerne County. At least the guy didn't pull a Bill "the baby" Jones. Swiderski and me agree that the republican party needs to be rebuilt. With all the sh*t that's going on in the county we need a republican leader now than ever. Nobody's willing to step up to the plate so why not Swiderski? The people complain that there's no young people wanting to get involved in politics and the voters complain that there are no real leaders in the party on the local level. I dont know about you but I think Swiderski would better serve the party here on the local level rebuilding the party and with some help turning the GOP into a machine here in the county. hey this is a blog. Let's see what everyone else thinks.

On the presidential level Romni and McCain suck. Shame on the PAGOP for endorsing McCain. I guess flip flops are in fashion.

Why Petrilla shouldn't be the new chairperson

The Times Liberal headlines give you the best reason why:

Skrep backs Petrilla as new chair

ScrapNeck the debit czar is in no position to back anyone for anything. He and the other Children of the Coal misused our tax dollars for lavish dinners questionable travel expenses and strippers. Then they have the b*lls to say that they did nothing wrong and they laugh it off as if it were a joke. It's a good thing that we have guys like Tim Greier who stuck his tattooed neck into this mess to speak up for the taxpayers. We need more guys like him getting involved but the problem is that when someone wants to shake things up the machine discredits them. Guys like Tim have the b*lls and thick skin to face these corrupt *ssholes while the rest of the people watch from the sidelines with their d*cks tied around their nutsacks. If people want change they have to get involved or at least get behind those who want to make change happen.

ScrapNeck is corrupt. Any politician or any person who supported his campaign should hang their heads in shame (cough cough Hackett - thanks for adding to the problems we have!). You can't take this guy for face value. Any word coming from ScrapNeck's mouth should be examined as close as his carb and calorie intake. If ScrapNeck says he supports something we should immediately challenge it.

Now the other reason:

Petrilla is just as guilty for the problems at the county as ScrapNeck. Hell she's the f*cking county controller! The county controller is responsible for making sure that the finances are in order and for monitoring money flow. The county controller is responsible for making policies and enforcing policies to make sure that there are checks and balances in place to prevent things like the debit card debachle from happening. Now we're going to put her as the county chair??? She miserably failed at a leadership position and it was all her doing. There were no extraenous circumstances here. She plain and simple f*cked up big time. She should be asked to step down. She should not accept the higher leadership position.

Saying all that who is the best person for the job? Is it Steve Urban? My take: HELL NO!!!

Steve Urban is a p*ssy and a failed leader. He's supposed to be the Luzerne County Republican Party leader. His lack of leadership makes the county party a laughing stock. We need someone to take over the party leadership but this is never going to happen. I talked to a lot of people and found out that the PA GOP is well aware of the problems with the county party. The PA GOP continues to ignore the problems with the county party. Their best solution is to leave the county party defunct. Nobody at the state party in Harrisburg wants to talk to anyone interested in doing something about the county party problems (more on this in another post later).

I propose that ScrapNeck remains the county chair. now hear me out on that one. If we have guys like Tim Greier breathing down the county's neck and people actually getting involved and supporting this guy citizens can take back the county government beginning with watching fat*ss's every move. Continued public scrutiny is the best solution until ScrapNeck is up for reelection. While we're watching the fat boy eating twinkies we as concerned citizens band together to start a new more active county republican party. I have some suggestions for a few good leaders to revitalize the county GOP (more on this in another post later).

a"meus"ing

The one thing I can't stand about blogs is the number of hacks out there attacking candidates. The race for the 10th is no exception. There are a sh*tload of faceless anonymous hacks for Dan Meuser. Only one makes himself well known: KAR (yes you can take a f*cking bow). These hacks are just an indication of how Meuser will run his campaign.

I'm sure many of us bloggers are sick of these hacks because they have no value to add to these forums. It's one thing to support a candidate and it's OK to let people know about a candidate's lack of credibility. But it's another to throw mud at candidate because you think it's the best way to win an election.

Meuser is a f*cking moron and so are his hacks. What good is a candidate if all he does is hire faceless *ssholes to smear other candidates? Looks like Carney has a lot of fire power. Carney has enough fire power to destroy Meuser's campaign, especially when the word gets out that:

• Pride's products are known for defects and killed several people - no apology from Meuser.
• Meuser had a recent sexual harassment lawsuit brought against him by a former employee of PRIDE. What happened to that lawsuit? Hmm.. did he pay her off? Is she the only one he made advances on? I heard that there are others.
  
• Pride got an $80,000 slap on the wrist from the feds for Medicare fraud.
  
• Meuser gave tens of thousands of dollars to Hillary and other dems.
• Meuser still doesn't live in the 10th. He only bought a vacation home in Harvey's Lake.
• Pride laid off 200+ people in the last 3 years as a result of cutbacks.
• Meuser has a nasty temper. It doesn't take much to set him off.
• Meuser is micromanaging his campaign. Word says that he's going to challenge every line item in the nomination petitions to keep the other candidates off the ballot.
• Meuser's afraid of competition.
• Meuser exploits small businesses in his supply chain.
• The ethics at Pride are questionable.
• The real reason why Meuser's in the race is to keep Carney in office.
  

Meuser isn't interested in being our representative. Let the facts speak for themselves. He won't run in his own district against Kanjorski because he gave money to Uncle Paul Kanjorski so that he gets kickbacks to Pride making him more wealthy. Meuser loves liberal democrats. Now that we have a lib in office in the 10th the best thing Meuser can do is to use his wealth to discredit anyone running against Carney. If he helps Carney keep his seat Pride will get earmarks and kickbacks from Carney. This means more money in Meuser's pockets. Exponentially more than he is spending on the campaign.
