Going to the Chapel

I know...I promised to write more frequently.

So sue me.

Its summer, we've been running around a lot and I haven't felt like writing much.

But today I wanted to wish my parents a happy 41st anniversary!

Here is the original write up from the paper when they got married in 1968:

I have no idea why it came out that small!

Here are some more pictures from their wedding day:

I know my sister and I could not have asked for better parents over the years!

Even if they did dress us like that!

I can only hope to have as good and as long a relationship as they have had!

Love you guys!

Money For Nothing

Time to take up arms...or at least phones and emails.

Our beloved Governor of Philadelphia, er, Pennsylvania, "Fast Eddie" Rendell is proposing a 16% increase in the the personal income tax.

("Fast Eddie" getting ready to do what he does best...screw someone)

Picture from: blogs.phillymag.com

Exactly what I thought.

The entire state legislature can go screw themselves if they think they are getting one more red dime from me.

Its time for them to make do with what they have.

I can't just go ask for more money when times are tough..I have to drop things and tighten my belt.

They can do the same or they can go to hell...really I could care less.

So here is the phone number for the Governor's office: Phone: (717) 787-2500

(Or you can go to the page linked above to send an email.)

Here is a link for you to find your local legislator to complain to them too: http://www.legis.state.pa.us/ (Go to the upper right hand corner and put in your zip code if you are unsure who to contact.)

See I don't care what they have to do...cut their own pay, start paying part of their own health insurance, drop the state provided cars, whatever...but they need to find a way to STOP TAKING MY MONEY when its clear they don't know what they are doing with it.

And no one give me any crap about the services that will need to be cut. There are plenty of pleaces to make cuts that will not make children starve or streets go unpaved. Its not like their doing such a bang up job NOW with all the money they have!

Honest to God I think there should be an IQ test that anyone has to at least pass to run for office!

So let your voice be heard. I will be doing the same thing you can rest assured on that!

Oh, and its a big election year too...so lets remind these kind fellow and ladies that we can just as easily find someone who will do their jobs the way we like.

Thin Line between Love and hate

I wasn't going to pick up Detroit fans.

I was going to take the high road and just enjoy the Penguins winning the Stanley Cup.

I mean isn't it bad enough for them that their beloved team dropped four of the last five games of the series?

But then I read a post by this d-bag.

Seems he has a problem with Bettman wanting Crosby to win.

His proof?

Bettman was smiling too much while handing Crosby the cup.

Yes, you read that right...Bettman "SMILED" too much.

Meanwhile he's proclaiming that he doesn't believe there was a conspiracy...Bettman just got what he wanted.

Um, WHAT?!?!

Here, for the sake of argument is LAST year's handing of the cup.

My God!

If Bettman was smiling too much this year what do you call LAST year!?!?!?

He's even showing his teeth!

Maybe he was secretly growling at Detroit winning?

So, despite my best intentions...SHUT UP EVERY FAN IN DETROIT WHO THINKS THE FINALS WERE FIXED! YOUR TEAM HAD TWO CHANCES TO WIN THE CUP (GAME SIX AND SEVEN) AND DID NOT FINISH THE JOB!

You may go back to your regularly scheduled summer of proclaiming how the Wings will win the cup next season because they are the best team since the discovery of ice.

Or throwing rocks at people driving foreign cars.

Whatever it is you do while jerking off to Journey songs.

Hair of the Dog

As promised I have taken the shearer to my face after the Stanley Cup Finals.

So the question is: Better with or without?
