  • HSDYK: Kris Kristofferson (The Army Ranger & Cowboy)

    You guys are really some ignorantly arrogant hypocrites. I will not be speaking to anyone, family or otherwise, until I feel like it.

    I've got plenty. Can't kick me out of my own house. Cheers, dumb, dumbs.

  • Theodore Rosevelt: "The big bosses of the political field, the beneficiaries of privilege in the field of industry..."

    Theodore Rosevelt, Jr. was actually shot. Then did a campaign speech. Then probably went to the damn doctor to get everyone off his back.

    The following was generated by Google Gemini...

    While there is no single speech titled "The Big Bosses," Theodore Roosevelt frequently used the term "big bosses" and similar phrases in his speeches and writings to criticize corrupt political figures and machine politics. He viewed these individuals as thwarting the popular will and relying on corruption. 

    Key Contexts and Mentions

    • 1912 Set Speech: In a December 11, 1912, article, The New York Times reported on a standard speech Roosevelt gave as a Progressive Party candidate. He declared that "All Progressives Must Come To His" side, and that "We stand for the purging of the roll of American public life by driving out of politics the big bosses who thwart the popular will, who rely on corruption".
    • Theodore Roosevelt: An Autobiography: In his autobiography, specifically in the chapter about the New York Police, Roosevelt detailed his efforts to reform the police force and tackle systemic corruption. He wrote, "The big bosses rolled in wealth, and the corrupt policemen who ran the force lost all sense of decency and justice". He emphasized his resolve to enforce the law against these powerful figures, particularly concerning saloons and blackmail.
    • 1904 Presidential Campaign: A 1904 newspaper snippet indicates he mentioned the phrase during his run for President, asking, "Why won't the big bosses let..." in the context of an "honest and stable currency". 

    Roosevelt's rhetoric consistently targeted the abuse of power by wealthy elites and party machines, aligning with his broader "Square Deal" domestic program that aimed for corporate law reform and consumer protection. He believed the President should go directly to the public to promote change and challenge established, corrupt systems. 

    You can read more of his writings, including his autobiography, via the Project Gutenberg website.

  • PSA: "What we need in this country" - Robert F. Kennedy

    Listen, I'm a protector. It's what I do. I know I'm scary, it's why I try to hide in the open, let you know exactly what I feel.

    I protect. I'm not alone. I know better protectors. 

    I just happen to carry a blade-less Light Saber, is all.

    Did I mention I hate masks, yet cover my face at night when walking in the dark with my sunglasses on? Weird. 

    IMPORTANT: Do NOT EVER bring your stupid to any type of school again. Leave your guns at home. I do not stop. We do not stop. 

    You may see me now, but you won't see them...coming. You won't see them coming. Trust me. Do better. Walk away when someone bucks-up on you. Giggle. Shake your head. BUT DO NOT BRING YOUR STUPID TO AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION ANYWHERE ON THIS ROCK OR YOU WILL REGRET IT, DUMB, DUMB.

    It is "M" isn't it? I forgot. Didn't want to bother Google. I keep making an a** of myself. Sorry, Mom.

  • I'm really p*ssed, and would like a t-shirt.

    Maybe Avril? Cher? Kim Possible? You pick the damn shirt for Pete's sake.

    What does Pete have to do with this you ask? Well, he was my nephew. Wrote a few books. Had a podcast. Was on the other side of the political spectrum from me, typically. He asked me to do some bumps for his new podcast. I was honored.

    Didn't want to. Hate editing anything these days. Snip, snip. "Get the hell out of here!"

  • PSA: How to tell others you are going to turn.

    You already own everything you need! It's not an ancient Chinese secret.

    Try it. Maybe 100 yards or so BEFORE you intend to turn.

    Let me know how it works out. Thanks, team!
