PCP toons

Over in our clan forum, PCP has been given our very own comic strip! PowerMacAttack is the artist and is doing a great job. I was the subject of his most recent one, and I have to say that I am more than a little honored. I just had to share his talents with the rest of the site. Thanks again Power, I can't wait to see what you come up with for our little "Breakfast Club".

Whale Wars

First let me say that I consider the practice of whaling to be outdated and barbaric. However, the so called "Activists" on the "Sea Shepard" are nothing more than eco-terrorists and should all be jailed for a very very long time. On this paticular episode, they toss nausiating odor stink bombs that will "last for days" onto their ship. They also toss chemicals which make the deck perilously slippery, preventing the Japanese crew from being able to work their ship effectively. These are the least of the "Deturrents" utilized by the so called "Activists". The biggest of which would be a "Propfouler" which is simply a great tangle of ropes and chains intended to destroy a ship's prop thus making it completely defenseless and immobile. Luckily this time, the "Propfouler" missed the brand new ship's life line, but had it been successful these assholes would be rendering them completely defenseless agianst the harsh antartic seas.

The biggest bullshit tactic that these Eco-Terrorists use, is trying to transfer two of their own ship mates onto the Japenese whaling ships to become "Hostages". The captain will then contact the Australian navy and claim that the Japanese ship is holding their men hostage, thus causing an international incident. These assholes are just about the poster children with what's wrong with the world of activisim as a whole. They completely disregard laws ( Many in the legal community say that the Japanese are completely within the law with the whaling of the waters in question), not to mention Human lives including their own.

The Japense whalers are wether you agree with it or not, a part of a industry that hundreds if not thousands of familys depend on for their lively hood and these dead beat hippies harass and endanger their lives without thought of the saftey of ethier crew. It's nothing more than attention grabbing for donations, to support their lifestyle of so called "Activisim". The IWC does not support these efforts and they are nothing more than criminals themselves, yet claim no wrong doing in their efforts. The Governing bodies of the IWC are responsible for dealing with Japan and their whaling operations, not some douche bag who was kicked out of GreenPeace for aggresive tactics. These impressionable young people are being used as pawns in this sick prick's game all the while endangering everyone involved.

This ship is a pirate ship and honestly I would love to see the Japenese dispatch a sub to sink the fuckers.

Real Music

Not many musicians can tout this sort of talent.....yet sadly this music is rapidly becomming forgotten. Today it's all about provacative lyrics and packaging....but with the true masters none of that mattered. The musicians who sang live *gasp* at the drop of a hat, and would blow your mind and rupture your hearts.....in this day and age of lip synced no talent hacks, it's important to see treat yourself with some actual music. Sit back and listen to some true talent.

Most people may have heard the name but if you ask around today....sadly you'd be hardpressed to find someone under the age of 50 who really knew who he was. I give to you, Buddy Rich.

Modern Master

I know I have most likely posted his music before, but Tom Waits deserves an encore. He is put simply, a fucking wordsmith, and sadly still relatively unknown. Drop your worries, and click the videos and listen to one of the modern masters of verse.

For all of you Bush haters

Seriously, you thought Bush was bad? How do you feel about your godsend president elect's proposal of taxing our citezens to feed the hungry of the world to the tune of 65 billion a fucking year???Not to mention slipping in Gun control laws and giving the UN more power than Zeus over our people???You think this is right wing propaganda or simply untrue? Uh uh, follow the links or look it up yourselves, this is an actual piece of legislation from your messiah. You wanted change, I don't think this shit is what you had in mind.

www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd

OK folks, you wanted change - here it is:

ITS ALREADY STARTED FOLKS….BE AWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON……….

http://www.opencongress.org/bill/110-s2433/text

SENATE BILL S. 2433 THE GLOBAL POVERTY ACT

According to David Bossie, President of the group 'Citizens United for American Sovereignty', based out of Merrifield Virginia , website: http://www.citizensunited.org/

The above-mentioned Senate Bill (S. 2433) is a piece of legislation in the works that all Americans need to know about and know now!

This bill, sponsored by none other than Sen. Barack Obama, with the backing of Joe Biden on the Foreign Relations Committee, and liberal democrats in Congress, is nothing short of a massive giveaway of American wealth around the world, and a betrayal of the public trust, because, if passed, this bill would give over many aspects of our sovereignty to the United Nations.

The noble sounding name of this bill, 'The Global Poverty Act' is actually a Global Tax, payable to the United Nations, that will be required of all American taxpayers. If passed in the Senate, the House has already passed it, this bill would require the U.S. to increase our foreign aid by $65 BILLION per year, or $845 BILLION over the next 13 years! That's on top of the billions of dollars in foreign aid we already pay out!

In addition to the economic burdens this potential law would place on our precarious economy, the bill, if passed in the Senate, would also endanger our constitutionally protected rights and freedoms by obligating us to meet certain United Nations mandates.

According to Senator Obama, we should establish these United Nations' goals as benchmarks for U.S. spending. What are they?

The creation of a U.N. International Criminal Court having the power to try and convict American citizens and soldiers without any protection from the U.S. Constitution.

A standing United Nations Army forcing U.S. soldiers to serve under U..N. command.

A Gun Ban on all small arms and light weapons --which would repeal our Second Amendment right to bear arms.

The ratification of the ' Kyoto ' global warming treaty and numerous other anti-American measures.

Recently, the Senate Subcommittee on Foreign Relations (where Sen. Joe Biden sits) approved this plan by a voice vote without any discussion! Why all the secrecy? If Senators Obama and Biden are so proud of this legislation, then why don't they bring it out into the light of day and let the American people have a look at it instead of hiding it behind closed doors and sneaking it through Congress for late night votes.

It may be only a matter of time before this dangerous legislation reaches a floor vote in the full body of the Senate.

Please write or call, email your representatives, the White House, the media, or anyone you think will listen, and express your opinions regarding this Global Tax giveaway and betrayal of the American people at a time when our nation and our people are already heavily burdened with the threats to our freedoms and economic p rosperity.

An open letter to the employees

Fellow Business Executives:

As the CFO of this business that employees 140 people, I have resigned
myself to the fact that Barrack Obama will be our next President, and
that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.

To compensate for these increases, I figure that the Clients will have
to see an increase in our fees to them of about 8% but since we cannot
increase our fees right now due to the dismal state of our economy, we
will have to lay off six of our employees instead. This has really been
eating at me for a while, as we believe we are family here and I didn't
know how to choose who will have to go.

So, this is what I did. I strolled thru our parking lot and found 8
Obama bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these
folks will be the first to be laid off. I can't think of a more fair way
to approach this problem. These folks wanted change; I gave it to them.

If you have a better idea, let me know.

Sincerely,

The boss

He talked the talk, now lets hope he can walk the walk.

Until we stop pointing out our differences, we can never truly end racisim and move forward as a country. To vote solely upon race regardless of wether it is Hispanic, Black , White , Asian etc is still racisit no matter how you slice it.Many people will say that race was not an issue in their votes, myself included, yet for every informed non-racisit voter...there are hundreds who voted solely upon skin tone on both sides and honestly that makes me want to weep.

However, that being said, I will support Barack Obama and hope with everything that is within me, that he will live up to his campaign promises. If he doesn't deliver on said promises, I fear that the entire country will be set back decades in both politics and race relations not to mention the damage a scandalous term would do to the young voters confidence in their country's government.

Good luck President Barack Obama, you've got a tall order to fill and a lot of hungry customers to serve...do not dissapoint them.

Joe probed Obama given the media pass

It's been a double standard since day 1. The liberals control the media, hence all of the "Investigating" was done upon the right.

Don't agree?

"Joe" the plumber asks one question and his entire life is an open book, his rights were violated by the Obama supporting government of Ohio.

This is not opinion, this is undisputed fact.

Barack Obama refuses to release his college records (where he colluded with William Ayers and Rashid Kahlidi ( was one of his professors), or speak about his time in indonesia. ( Considering at the time Indonesia didn't allow non-citezens to attend school, yet he attended school there for 4 years.) ( also during this time in Indonesia they did not offer dual citezenship )

This is not opinion, this also is an undeniable fact.

The LA times refuses to release a tape of Obama and William Ayers along with Rashid Khalidi of the PLO.

This is not opinion, this is also a fact.

Barack Obama was in the senate around 150 days before beginning his campaign for the presidency,and while in the senate he did nothing yet instead of asking questions the media embraces him. There are way too many unanswered questions about this man, ranging from his citezenship all the way to ACORN, yet if you choose to challenge him he simply refuses to speak to you, having cut off legitimate news sources already during his campaign.
