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

By Billy • Apr 19th, 2010 • Category: Politics

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 [...]



So, Let me get this straight…

By Billy • Feb 2nd, 2010 • Category: Politics

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 [...]



YUMMY, LASAGNA IN YOUR TUMMY

By Billy • Sep 11th, 2009 • Category: Food

Okay, so I am about to stand-up my new copyrighted © culinary concept, titled, “Food, Fun, & Fitness,” which I eventually plan to pitch to The Food Network.   Check out the promo at the bottom right-hand side of this website where I am acting as the “Grill Guy” during my daughter’s 8th grade graduation, May [...]



Date Line: Tuesday September 8th 2009—Obama to talk to our youth.

By Billy • Sep 5th, 2009 • Category: Politics

There are a lot of moms and dads around the country who DO NOT want their children subjected to Obama’s socialist ideologies, which is to be presented to them, our youth, DURING SCHOOL, on Tuesday, September 8th.
I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THESE MOMS AND DADS!  LET THEM SEE AND LISTEN TO IT!
No, relax, I have not been fooling [...]

Here is an email from someone we should be honoring.  Pay attention folks.  WE still have time to turn away from socialims.  VOTE in the mid-term 2010 elections.  If we can will back the House and the Senate Obama-ism is on its way out…

Clean Up Your Act

By Billy • Jul 19th, 2009 • Category: Life

When my kids where younger, like all younger kids, they were messy.  My son, Doug, would storm into the clean kitchen and like a hurried hurricane, grab this, that, and the other thing, continue along in his tornado trail, and leave in his path of distruction a Hansel and Gretel-like trail of cookie crumbs, fruit [...]



A LITTLE SQUIRT

By Billy • Jun 19th, 2009 • Category: Life

Have you ever found yourself in a traumatizing situation and your life flashed before your eyes?  This happened to me on Sunday when I inadvertently wandered into what is arguably the most dangerous ever, even more dangerous than Hillary Clinton’s (gulp, shiver, cry) underwear draw! 
AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
ONLY KIDDING!  Not really.  But, seriously, it’s the perfume department at Macy’s.
“Gee [...]



LEARN THE LINGO OR LOSE OUT ON LUNCH

By Billy • May 11th, 2009 • Category: Food

There was a time I would enter a gym and dive right into my workout WITHOUT warming up.  I could bench press a bison without worry of pain, strain, or being maimed.  But nowdays I have to stretch out BEFORE I go to the bathroom, and if not, I risk being stranded on the toilet [...]



Something Smells Fishy To Me

By Billy • Apr 10th, 2009 • Category: Food

Before we leap into this week’s vitally important topic (i.e., finding myself sitting in a staff meeting stuck next to the office know-it-all dork who continually hikes his trousers up so high, last week he managed to get his neck firmly wedged in his left pant leg, and security had to call in a rather [...]



Diagnostic Dishonesty

By Billy • Apr 3rd, 2009 • Category: Life

Back in the day, vehicles were designed more user-friendly.  And because of this a monkey or even a humor columnist armed with a cleverly bent coat hanger could tinker around and fix anything, from removing and replacing the drivetrain, to changing the pine-scented Christmas tree air freshener.
NOTE: Removing and replacing the drivetrain is a relatively [...]
