“Just When I Thought I Was Out. They Pull Me Back In”:

Leslie Writes:

Hi Mike! I wouldn’t be surprise you don’t care less about this but is it true Janine wrote she’s…retiring? It’s in the text(very last sentence)of her page at Wikipedia.

Indeed it is …”In November 2005, Janine Lindemulder announced on her official website’s forum that she was once again retiring from making adult films.”

It’s a slow news week so I figured I’d rattle my buddy A-Dells cage a little, when I asked she confirmed that back in November Janine had indeed notified Digital Playground that she intended to retire however since she won her best actress AVN award that has all changed.

Tomorrow it may change again but for now, she is unretired…again…

Interesting Story in the St Louis Dispatch:

Strip club operator is running for Mehlville School Board
By David Hunn
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
02/27/2006
The president of a national strip club chain is running for the Mehlville School Board in south St. Louis County.

Micheal Ocello runs more than a dozen clubs from Denver to Sauget to Indianapolis. The company is VCG Holding Corp. and its stock is traded on Wall Street. Ocello says this year’s sales will crest at $30 million.

Ocello, 46, a husband and father of three, hopes to win one of two seats on the Mehlville board.

But his line of work - he prefers “adult entertainment” - is already stirring talk in the area.

“I wouldn’t want that kind of guy running a school board,” said Jeremy Parks, 21, in the Dierbergs parking lot on Lemay Ferry Road. “If he’s that great of a guy, with good morals, he wouldn’t be running strip clubs.”

Ocello said that type of comment is offensive.

The women he employs are professionals, making a fine living, he said. The clubs are businesses, and many are upscale, he added.

Ocello, once a male dancer himself, describes himself as a businessman and a family guy; he likes playing with his grandchildren, riding motorcycles with his wife, watching old movies with his daughter and boating on the Mississippi River with the family.

He knew the race would be tough.

He’s tiring of the strip club questions already.

There’s no shortage of candidates. Five additional people, including both incumbents, have filed. The others candidates are a Union Pacific worker, a pressroom supervisor, a salesman, a retired teacher and a church fundraiser.

Several candidates said it will be rough for a man in adult entertainment to win the hearts of suburban, conservative district residents.

“I don’t want to say anything negative about anybody,” said Tom Diehl, the nonprofit fundraising consultant. “I imagine it might be tough for some voters to get beyond that issue.”

Privately, at least one candidate asked Ocello what he’s doing, Ocello said.

“I knew going into it I would receive a lot of scrutiny,” Ocello said. “I think it’s important enough to go through with it.”

But district residents, from body shop workers to mothers picking up children after school, said a strip club exec would never get their vote:

“Doesn’t seem like something I’d want around my school,” said Diane St. Cyre, a parent outside of Mehlville High last Thursday.

Laurie Smith, an elementary school staff member, said, “Not to be judgmental, but if he’s a strip club owner, no way! … The job of being on a school board is a person who’s going to stand up for your child’s rights.”

Said Scott Drown, 28, as he patched a car bumper inside the Maaco bodyshop on Reavis Barracks Road, “He’ll definitely have a lot more eyes on him.”

Others said they’d prefer not to judge a book by its cover. And those who know Ocello speak highly of him.

Barbara Geno, executive director of Clayton Child Center, said Ocello has been a strong board member for 10 years at Geno’s school. “He’s very well informed, very well read,” she said. “He’s a very bright man. I think he has very high morals and ethics.”

Ocello said he’s concerned the current Mehlville boardis not connecting with residents.

This is an important election for Mehlville. The new board is almost sure to pick the district’s next superintendent. Plus, the community just roundly defeated a tax levy increase, leaving school finances in question and $4 million in budget cuts on the table. Transportation, teacher jobs and free after-school sports all could go.

District staff and residents say they need strong leadership.

The candidates say they hope the race sticks to the issues.

Now this got me to thinking. How would I feel about it if I had a kid in that school district?

First of all I doubt very seriously that I would have my kid(s) in a public school, public schools are to education what McDonalds is to nutrition.

That said it sounds to me like Mr Ocello is pretty highly qualified…I mean he is in charge of a 30 million dollar a year publicly traded company. It isn’t like he is going to recruit his peelers from the local high schools…besides when it comes to my kids I would be WAY more concerned about who the teachers are than who the administrative honchos are.

And whats with this Laurie Smith idiot saying he wouldn’t stand up for the students rights…who would know more about standing up for rights than a peeler bar owner…he has been doing exactly that for years I’d bet.

Assuming he has no felony convictions and as decent a background as anyone else, He would have my support.

I’m At A Loss:

Sometimes it’s hard to write this site. I seem to have said everything I want to say on most topics and I hate repeating myself just to take up space. Luke can pine about Holly but somehow I don’t think y’all are all that interested in my love life…or lack thereof, even though I am shooting Giga this weekend in a layout for the fine folks at Genesis Magazine. But I digress.

What’s to say? AIM is still a con job, FSC is still fat and lazy, porners are still retarded…though they are MUCH more careful about being retarded in public these days. Kahn Tusion is still piece of shit as are Rob Black, Tom Byron and countless others…Yawn.

Someone send me some good stuff….

Jenna Presley Writes (and writes, and writes):

Hello Mike,
I am Jenna Presley, I am talent in the world of porn, I also just began directing for Vicious Media and Shy Love Productions. Anyway I happened to come across your site and Let me tell you, It is FANTASTIC!!!! haha One thing that blew me away were these two particular paragraphs from

Craigslist:
“One of the most insanely frustrating things about women is the constant reassurance. No, you’re not fat. If you were fat you wouldn’t be able to fit into that size 2 dress. And yes, you look good. Guys wouldn’t be giving you free shit if you were ugly. (There’s an ulterior fucking motive for you. Hint: They’re not giving you free stuff just to be sweet.) It’s so frustrating having to constantly answer those questions, only to not be believed. It’s like trying to convince someone that the sky is blue. You’re not blind, you’re not even color blind. You can see that the sky is blue. Yet you continue to ask what color the sky is. I tell you it’s blue. I know that you know what color blue is. And even though I’ve told you that the sky is blue about fifty-million times, you still have to ask because…I don’t know…maybe it’s not blue today. The sky is fucking blue goddammit! You’re not fucking fat! You’re not fucking ugly! You know it, I know it, everyone fucking knows it!

And fuck all you ultra-hot girls that bitch about the most retarded things. Yeah, all men are fucking pigs because they stare at your boobs. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that you’re wearing a skin tight low cut shirt that has ‘Bebe’ printed across your boobs… one ‘Be’ per boob. It’s totally unfair that you have to put up with guys staring at you all the time just because you like to look sexy. And boo hoo, it’s so hard for you to meet a nice guy. Well actually it isn’t, because the shoulder your crying on belongs to a nice guy. He’s the one that puts up with all your stupid shit. And yet you some how end up with all the assholes. I’m sure that it has nothing to do with the fact that you’re holding out for a six foot tall alpha-male fire fighter with a trust fund.”

Oh My god!! This Guy Is a GENIOUS!!! GIRLS, LADIES WHORES, WHICHEVER YOU RESFER, This guy said EVERYTHING in those two paragraphs that I have been trying to explain my whole life, well for about a year anyway. (Talk too much i suppose)NOT, I just have the mentality of A FUCKING GUY…

Mike I want to help these boys out though, STOP HAVING FREE SEX!! YOU GET PAID ON CAMERA, So if you want a girl That doesnt resemble these two paragraphs, THEN QUIT FUCKING HER AND TELLING her, “YOU are NOT my girlfriend.” MOST girls think that if you fuck them once FOR FREE OFF CAMERA, THEN SHIT, youre getting married, OH and I BETTER be invited to that, Its Jenna Presley, Put me on the guest list haha

FOR EXAMPLE!!! Which, this IS a TRUE example, I DO NOT fuck guys off camera unless we are in a monogomus relationship.(I KNOW, porn? MONAGAMY? To me it is work, NOT extremely enjoyable, AND it is a PAYCHECK) So until hes ready to be exclusive, THE BALLS IN MY COURT. NO SEX.. You want a whore? Watch my movies. GIRLS in porn have trouble distinguishing a PRIVATE life from a WORK/PORNO life, You think fucking Ron Jeremy Is going to make you famous? WRONG!!! (Believe it or not) He has respect for girls that DO NOT fuck him. NO ONE wants your old loose cunt, they get that work…

Anyway… BOYS, On myspace i was frustrated w/ guys having NOT an ounce of respect for me until they slept over 5 times and STILL did NOT get laid… So heres what I wrote:
its titled FUCK BOYS:

Dec 27, 2005:
“Please, let me explain this to you!! Im in porn, I have sex EVERYDAY!! What makes these boys that I get invloved with think that ALL I want is SEX??? NOOOOO I have feelings and emotions, im not a fucking blow up doll! I want a relationship… I want a guy to appriciate me, and buy me dinner without the thought of “I BETTER GET LAID FOR THIS!” You should invite me over as a girfriend with the feeling of excitement because you get to cuddle with a NICE girl, that just so happens to do porn. Im in porn and in my WORK life, yes, im a whore, no nice words needed. BUT In my PERSONAL life, I want to be loved and adored, im not materialistic so burn me a fucking cd with songs that remind you of me! Am I doing something wrong? Why do you ONLY want sex? Why are you suddenly SCARED of relationships? waaaaa I Just want to come home to a boy thats happy to see me, casue thats the biggest turn on, and then without even expecting it… YOULL GET LAID!”

Let me explain though that I am NOT saying that I want a relationship, I am telling a guy that when were friends, theres NO sex, I have Respect for not ONLY myself, but for the friendships in my life, YEA we can have sex and not be in a relationship, BUT WHY THE FUCK WOULD I DO THAT, When I ALWAYS get paid for that? Makes NO sence… With that said… LAIDIES STOP BRINGING TALENT HOME WHEN YOU ARE DONE W/ YOURE SCENE, WHEN YOU JUST GOT PAID $8-1,100, TO FUCK HIM VAG!! NOW YOUR ARE GOING TO FUCK HIM FOR FREE?? Go home and RELAX.. Go to a movie.. GO TALK YOURSELF TO SLEEP, CAUSE THAT GUY THAT YOU ARE BRINGING HOME JUST WANTS TO FUCK YOU AGAIN! MAKE HIM GO HOME STILL WANTING YOU! GIRLS, DO YOU LIKE BOYS THAT WONT SHUT THE FUCK UP AND ARE ALL OVER YOU? Really? You DONT? Yea Me NEITHER. And Sorry But Boys dont like that either!! Oh Mike, This ALL makes sense in my head. BASICALLY, I want girls in porn to leave this buisness If they are having free sex all the time, Because if gives, what I like to call, US CLASSY WHORES, A bad name. I dont care, YES, i said it, im a whore BUt WHEN AND ONLY WHEN I AM AT WORK.!!! So STOP giving us girls a bad name and Close your fucking legs when you are at home. UNLESS it you boyfriend, girlfriend,or spouse of course.. If thats the case, GIRL Get your ASS home, STOP TALKING and fuck your man the way HE likes it for once… RELAX take turns, tomorrow Make him fuck you how you like it. A Relationship SHOULD be BOTH mentally and Physically stimulating and enjoyable for BOTH of the partners, NOT JUST ONE

Okay, well Mike hope you were half as bit interested in what I had to say as I was on your site!! Once again… Its AWESOME.. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR HONESTY Keep it up baby haha

April Over At Pure Play Media Wants Me To Mention:

That PSK Tonight Benefits The Sankofa Center for African Dance & Culture.

HUH?

Now if it benefitted the Caucasion Center for Dance I could understand it, maybe this is a center for black folks that can’t dance or something…

Having been to a few porn star karaokes I’m kinda thinkin maybe they need a benefit night for pornstars who think they can sing, but can’t.

Anyhow PSK tonight benefits this….ummmm…. cause, so go on out and sing so that some poor black child who can’t dance might realize his dream of being on Soul Train.

As Some Of You Guessed:

Yes, I have been fishing, it’s rare that we get a chance to go out in February but that’s what happened. My buddies called me and said let’s go and I picked up and left staying the weekend for the gumbo festival.

Here’s a few pics:


6AM heading out


A Shoal of Porpoise by the boat


About 40 Miles Offshore


Another Grouper in the Box


Not a Bad Day At All


I Don’t Know for sure, but I think Heaven looks a lot like this
It certainly does to me.

Remember last Week When I Reported About The Strippers That Got Arrested In Pasco County, FL:

Well I started poking around and got my little hands on the crime logs for pasco county for the night of Feb 3 and the Morning Of Feb 4th.

While The Pasco County authorities were spending taxpayer dollars to protect the good citizens from strippers selling beer and soliciting lap dances, where simple contact with the customer equals a prostitution charge….well here is what happened in Pasco County at the time:

There were

7 Verified reports of criminal mischief

5 Verified auto thefts

20 verified Burglaries

1 Suspected Arson

2 Verified aggravated batteries

1 Verified armed robbery

My source is the crime stats published in the local paper.

Nice to know you can be shot at, robbed at gunpoint, have your car stolen , your possessions stolen and your property destroyed but you wont have to worry about a stripper asking you if you would like another beer (promoting the sale of alcohol is one of the charges they charged some of the girls with)

This Just In:

Tawney Roberts fires Devon from their company. Nothing I could say here could equal the sheer humor in that one…

It’s Dick, Duck:

No matter how you cut it Cheney is clearly at fult on this one. As someone who has hunted quail my since I was six years old, I can tell you he fucked up on at least three counts. Rules I knew at 6 years old:

1. You treat every gun as though it is loaded.

2. You always make sure that you know what you are shooting at and what is behind it

3. When hunting in a party you fire between the 10 Oclock and 2 Oclock positions, Cheney turned all the way around to the 6 OClock position, thats a 180 degree turn, and to think you can do that without shooting one of your hunting partners is stupid.

And here is the bottom line, the guy who pulls the trigger is responsible, period.

And it turns out that he was hunting without a valid license, which he now says he has sent the money for.

OK if you or I get caught hunting without a license they don’t say well if you buy one now it’s OK. Thats bullshit, he broke the law and should be treated same as anyone else.

Bottom Line it was an accident, but it was one born of carelessness. Now if Cheney is a man he will own up to it. This spin of blaming the guy who got shot because he didn’t come up behind Cheney and announce his presence is complete bullshit.

Course it was just a lawyer…

 

Mike Ramone Writes:

re: OUTRAGED MUSLIMS! OH MY! From My Buddy Neal Boortz:

Bravo. I couldn’t have said it better myself. Of course, this makes it all the more reprehensible that our esteemed First Lady Laura Bush over the weekend termed the Danish cartoons satirizing Muhammad, well, “reprehensible.” Apparently, she doesn’t believe in the bedrock American principles of the First Amendment and a free press. Or at least won’t admit it in public, for fear of further antagonizing the superstitious hordes.

Yup, ole Boortzy has been my buddy since before he went into national syndication. He is a Libertarian who tends to lean a bit to the right but he is 4 square against morality based laws believing that laws against drug use cost more than they are worth and that laws against prostitution are wrongly based. He isn’t a fan, he is a friend and I love the guy.

Today is The Day We Celebrate What Has Evolved Out Of Lupercalia:

Call it a Hallmark Holiday or whatever you want it’s the day we tell our loved one (if you have one or even more) That you love them. I have obtained a list of some porners Valentines.

Nick Manning of course sent one to the person he loves most, Nick Manning.

Kurt Lockwood sent out several, all to L.A. area tranny hookers.

Adella sent one to me.

Luke Ford sent one to Holly Randall who sent one to her ex boyfriend.

Dan sent one to Katy (names with held to protect the guilty)

Taylor Rain sent one to her dealer as did Scott Fayner

Ron Jeremy sent one to the Grand Buffett

Gene Ross sent one to Skeeter who sent one stuffed with money to Gene.

Christian Mann sent one to Websters

David Aaron Clark didn’t sent one to anyone

Paul Fishbein sent one to the U.S. Treasury

Jessie Jane sent one to Adella

Mike South sent One To Blue Water Tackle in Mexico Beach

Tim Case sent one to Wankus

Wankus sent one to Wankus

Seymore from Sardos sent one to Wankus, along with a box of chocolates. (Sardos is where they have Porn Star Karaoke and turned an otherwise slow night into one of the hottest hangouts in Burbank.)

Speaking of PSK can you imagine how sappy it will be tonight.

This Just In From Zaphod Beeblebrox, EXCLUSIVE Video of Kurt Lockwood’s Rampage that Bishop was Talkin about:

Click HERE

Dan, HWMIC at Genesis Magazine Writes:

I saw the original post that “Bishop” made on another site. While I think that your parody of the post is funny as hell, it nowhere near matches the pure hysterical entertainment value of the original. And I quote:

“Havent you seen what happend to the other fools that have crossed Kurt’s path?Ask Mike South, he’ll tell you what Godzilla looked like when he tore through Tokyo. Is it so upsetting to you that Kurt is somewhere having what would be the time of your life that is to him just another day, throwing around cash like water, and balls-deep in pussy so fine you don’t dare look at it directly for fear that your erection may turn to stone,while you on the other hand are jerking off quickly so that you don’t get caught in your mother’s powder room?”

Here are my unbiased comments about this. Besides being the longest run-on sentence in history and being more all over the place in that time like Stevie Wonder driving, it’s nowhere near accurate. I witnessed first-hand the so-called altercation between you and Kurt at the AVN Awards. In my humble opinion, it was nothing more than a bad hissy fit. Actually, I wouldn’t even call it that. Kurt comes over and says “I know who you are” and makes like he is going to hug you before “accidentally” spilling a drink on you. Then he walks away. To me it was just a cowardly attempt at saving some sort of face.

Now, I’m not a huge fan or expert on the old Japanese monster movies, but I have seen my share of them, and other than the bad acting, it nowhere near represented the Beast of the Far East. Now a guy taking it up the dumper in a strap-on scene — that’s scary!

 

Kurt Lackwood writes on a lesser site:

That’s right,keep it up. Keep posting bullshit about me on this board. It’s ok to be jealous because as many Trannies as I have had fuck me in the ass one of them was yours. It’s not my fault if your trannie says she is going to the ladies room,and leaves you alone for two hours at the table at some fancy restaraunt because she had to go duke me up the old afterburner. However even if your trannie is screaming out TAKE IT LIKE A BITCH YOU LITTLE PILLOW BITING FUCK KURT! during one of your pathetic attempts at pleasing her, it is NOT ok to post bullshit about me.

You would think you haters would know that by now. Havent you seen what happend to the other fools that have crossed my path? Ask Mike South, he’ll tell you what Peter Pan looked like when he tore through Pixyland. Is it so upsetting to you that I am somewhere having what would be the time of your life that is to him just another day, throwing around beer like a pussy, and balls-deep in trannies so scary you don’t dare look at it directly for fear that your erection may wilt and never return, while I on the other hand am jerking off quickly so that I don’t get caught again with my trannie magazines? You know goddamned well that if you could wake up tommorow and be me, that there is not a single one of you trash posting bastards that would not kill youeself to avoid the possibility.

I have tried to warn you before and you have not heeded my warning so, let the blood be on YOUR hands when I wild-out in here like a bunch of mexicans at the park on puertorican gay pride day in new york.When me an my my pussy Bishop, I mean posse, I mean posse. come over there don’t laugh at the little bitch we will not lose respect for you. If you fall down laughing when you see me tearing through here like A.C. Cream through Christie Lee’s trash, I will point at you and we will laugh as you soil yourself laughing for the final time before Kurt tears up while Vanity tears into his ass with his his cock and then he and I will take turns playing jump rope with it.

See, if you tried to be more like Kurt and sucked cock instead of hating he would be more than glad to give you little tips on how you migh get laid because, whether you know it or not Kurt is a real nice guy who will go out of his way for others.

AVN Finally gets Around To The Peelers Getting Arrested Story, And Gets It Wrong:

I had the story 5 days ago and even I got the part that the clubs were in the Tampa/Clearwater area called Pasco County NOT in Daytona as AVN is reporting. Daytona is in Volusia County on the other side of the state.

Now Y’all wanna tell me again how much you are better because you always get the facts right….please….Y’all had a whole week to research it.

 

I Usually Don’t Run Press Release Stuff But I Like Halcyon and Tassy and It Is a Worthy Cause:

PINK+AID, The First Ever Charity Benefit Porn DVD, Now Available!

In an industry that struggles to defend its redeeming values, there is finally an example of truly positive porn. The PINK+AID project was filmed, edited and is now being distributed with positivity and love. Huh? “Positivity and Love” as part of a porno?! Well PINK+AID is more of an erotic experiment than a porno. And the DVD is more of a documentary of a Live Event (The Pink+Aid Digital Orgy/ Benefit on Oct 2, 2005) than a scripted porn movie.
Everyone featured on video donated their sex energy. And it is sex energy, rather than lighting or videography, that is the focus of the DVD.
Event hostess Tassy PINK tried to clarify, “We believe that our sexuality is a source of great power. PINK+AID is about trying to harness that power as well as raise money. It’s about leveraging our loins to generate positive energy and financial resources for people who were depleted of both by a natural disaster. PINK+AID isn’t about money shots, and fake orgasms.
That being said, the imagery on the newly available DVD is scorching. It features real, intimate orgasms from Tassy Pink (tassypink.com), Vanilla Deville (vanillaDeville.com), Elli (Ellinude.com), Ashley Fires (HotAshleyFires.com), and Lexi Bardot (yanks.com) all as part of the original live event.
“Just because the hurricane has slipped off the front page doesn’t mean there isn’t still TONS of help needed in New Orleans.” Co-host Halcyon explained, “We tried to give the PINK+AID money to Habitat for Humanity, but they refused. Apparently, they’d rather have people sit in the mud than accept our cash. Thank god we connected with Disaster Corps (disastercorps.org) and Burners Without Borders. These heroes are living in tents in the mud and are still there helping to rebuild a broken city. These folks have truly rolled up their sleeves.. The least we can do is pull down our pants to help.”
To purchase your DVD (or several) visit pinkaid.org for more info on the purpose of pink aid, digital orgies, or the charities designated to receive PINK+AID funds.

Rights, What Is and What Ain’t:

I was in a discussion yesterday with a well meaning person who was asserting that we had a right to housing and food and health care and all other sorts of socially engineered “rights”. My assertion is, of course that these aren’t “rights” at all. While the health care system does desperately need to be fixed, it isn’t nor should it be a “right”.

In doing a little research on it I came across this by Walter Williams. a professor of Economics at george Mason University as well as a syndicated writer and a talk show personality. He sums it up far better than I could.

Bogus rights
By Walter E. Williams
Feb 8, 2006

Do people have a right to medical treatment whether or not they can pay? What about a right to food or decent housing? Would a U.S. Supreme Court justice hold that these are rights just like those enumerated in our Bill of Rights? In order to have any hope of coherently answering these questions, we have to decide what is a right. The way our Constitution’s framers used the term, a right is something that exists simultaneously among people and imposes no obligation on another. For example, the right to free speech, or freedom to travel, is something we all simultaneously possess. My right to free speech or freedom to travel imposes no obligation upon another except that of non-interference. In other words, my exercising my right to speech or travel requires absolutely nothing from you and in no way diminishes any of your rights.

Contrast that vision of a right to so-called rights to medical care, food or decent housing, independent of whether a person can pay. Those are not rights in the sense that free speech and freedom of travel are rights. If it is said that a person has rights to medical care, food and housing, and has no means of paying, how does he enjoy them? There’s no Santa Claus or Tooth Fairy who provides them. You say, “The Congress provides for those rights.” Not quite. Congress does not have any resources of its very own. The only way Congress can give one American something is to first, through the use of intimidation, threats and coercion, take it from another American. So-called rights to medical care, food and decent housing impose an obligation on some other American who, through the tax code, must be denied his right to his earnings. In other words, when Congress gives one American a right to something he didn’t earn, it takes away the right of another American to something he did earn.

If this bogus concept of rights were applied to free speech rights and freedom to travel, my free speech rights would impose financial obligations on others to provide me with an auditorium and microphone. My right to travel freely would require that the government take the earnings of others to provide me with airplane tickets and hotel accommodations.

Philosopher John Locke’s vision of natural law guided the founders of our nation. Our Declaration of Independence expresses that vision, declaring, “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Government is necessary, but the only rights we can delegate to government are the ones we possess. For example, we all have a natural right to defend ourselves against predators. Since we possess that right, we can delegate authority to government to defend us. By contrast, we don’t have a natural right to take the property of one person to give to another; therefore, we cannot legitimately delegate such authority to government.

Three-fifths to two-thirds of the federal budget consists of taking property from one American and giving it to another. Were a private person to do the same thing, we’d call it theft. When government does it, we euphemistically call it income redistribution, but that’s exactly what thieves do — redistribute income. Income redistribution not only betrays the founders’ vision, it’s a sin in the eyes of God. I’m guessing that when God gave Moses the Eighth Commandment, “Thou shalt not steal,” I’m sure he didn’t mean “thou shalt not steal unless there was a majority vote in Congress.”

The real tragedy for our nation is that any politician who holds the values of liberty that our founders held would be soundly defeated in today’s political arena.

Yesterday I Pointed Out Over On LukeIsBack:

How useless Alexa Rankings are because they are so easily manipulated, I inferred that AVN knew how to manipulate them. It got back to me that AVN doesn’t knowingly manipulate their Alexa ranks and don’t even care about them….

Whil the person who said that was being very forthright I would like to point out that they should care, and they should manipulate the vulnerabilities in Alexa rankings. I may not care about mine because I don’t sell advertising to the unwashed masses, AVN does and to some people, even people like Luke that Alexa rank is a way to play “whip out”, a kind of my dick is bigger than your dick thing.

Fact is If I was HWMIC at AVN and the webguy was NOT exploiting those vulnerabilities I would FIRE HIS/HER ass. So don’t be takin it as a bad thing that Alexa is very flawed….it is what it is.

While We Are At IT AVN…Your Blog SUCKS:

For God sake get some good forum software on that thing. That turd you are using half the time won’t allow me to post, says I have to be registered ( I am). It sucks composing a well thought out response only to be unable to post it.

Here is some FREE advice for you phpBBS, and dump that turd you are using, I refuse to ever use it again.
