OBAMA’S SOCIALISM EXPERIMENT: A Direct Path To U.S. Economic And Cultural Failure

Look, Lord knows I am no brain surgeon.  But I do have common Glenn Beck sense.  So, here is how I view socialism.  And I do this by way of an example:
A nightclub with waiters and waitresses
Okays, so, we have 10 waiters and 10 waitresses.  At the end of each shift, all tips will be put [...]

It’s a good feeling to laugh, but a much better feeling to have made someone laugh

My columns are basically a race between my tongue and my foot to see which one can get into position first, hence the name: “Tongue-In-Cheek…Foot-In-Mouth.”

If my tongue wins you’ll think I’m full of whimsical exaggeration. But if my foot wins you’ll think I’m an idiot. Hopefully in either case you’ll be laughing, sometimes with me and sometimes at me. But as long as you are laughing, well, then I’ve done my job.

Now, I know what you are thinking, you’re thinking with my tongue so close to my cheek, actually inside my mouth, it should always be the hands down winner. However, my feet are unbelievably quick. Bruce Lee’s feet should have been so fast.

What you may have missed over the past 4 weeks

So, Let me get this straight…

Obama says: “He would rather be a great one-term president than a two-term mediocre president.”
Okay, so stay with me on this.  If he were a mediocre one-term president, in order for him to be a mediocre two-term president he would have to be elected twice.  Now, if he is elected twice as being a mediocre [...]

Attention: Television and Movie Producers.

I’ve written two screenplays (copyrighted): a horror screenplay titled: “For All Eternity” and a creature screenplay titled: “Monster Man.”  Check them out below…

SYNOPSIS

HORROR-ACTION

By day, Tim Grimes is the hard working owner of a Florida alligator farm.  He’s funny, intelligent, will give you the shirt off of his back, and is nice regular-looking guy.  However, by night, he cruises bars in search of hookers.  After he finds a fitting target, he charms them in to going back to his home, has sex with them, kills them in the most hideous of ways, and feeds their lifeless bodies to his alligators, thus concealing his crime.

Tim continues his serial-murder spree until one day while attempting to shove a hooker into his meat grinder; Tim falls in, helpless, he is ground up alive.  It appears that he is dead, but he wakes up in his room, sweating, panicked, hysterical, and searching for answers.

He enlists the help of a psychiatrist who convinces him he is only having night terrors, but the psychiatrist is in actuality the devil who is in control of Tim’s soul, which has been handed over to him by God, condemned to hell for all eternity to pay for his crimes.

In essence, Tim is the devil’s plaything, and the devil is the puppeteer, finding unspeakable ways to make Tim die over and over.  And though Tim eventually finds out that he is dead and in hell, in the end, there is nothing he can do, no way to escape his fate, because though he is actually dead, he is condemned to feel the panic, pain, and horror of dying every day for all eternity.

SYNOPSIS

CREATURE-ACTION

Sean Mercer, a Cryptozoologist, has had countless encounters with legendary cryptids such as Bigfoot and Nessie, but he has never been able to produce any rock hard undisputable proof to present to the doubting scientific community.  He has casts of feet, hair samples, and fuzzy photos, which are all subject to criticism and rejection.
 
Sean (a.k.a. “Monster Man”) is desperate to prove that what he does is meaningful; his life is worth something; he is not a lair or a fraud or a fabricator.  And the only way to prove the existence of cryptids is to present solid proof: the body of a monster, dead or alive.  One day he receives a fateful call from a comrade: Dr. Joel Rodriquez, a herpetologist studying snakes in the Amazon.
 
Joel tells Sean about a villager who was decapitated by a swamp monster, and that an eye witness, a severed head, and a tooth fragment is still in the village.  Sean gathers his team, Billy Flynn, and Desiere Laveseaur, and head for the Amazon to find proof, and to partake in the adventure of a lifetime.
