Citibank is tops on my list of banks that I hate and banks that you should hate because they are all run by criminals with titles!  You think Bernie Madoff was bad?  He seemed to prey on jewish folks who were nothing more than greedy people looking for more cash to build up the money they had stolen from other people.  They all deserved it.  However, Citibank does not single out any ethic group, you put money in their bank or get a mortgage or use their credit card and you are a member of the “GET SCREWED CLUB”.  I really call it the GFC, get it???  Today is was revealed that Citibank is raising the rates on over 15 million credit card holders!  Aren’t these the same people who pay taxes, of which those taxes went to Citibank to help bail them out?  Another bite out of your ass!  I don’t have a citibank credit card and I would never have one, but I unfortunately have a mortgage with these bastards.  They purchased my mortgage in 2005 from a smaller company in Georgia.  I have had many issues with these guys!  Lost payments, payments held to get extra late fees, payments unapplied for months, no customer service, no response to letters.  This is what I deal with, why I hate Citibank, why you should not do business with these clowns, why they should fail!  Next stop!  Wachovia!!

With the unexpected passing of a great music legend, the world mourns and I am sort of saddened by the fact that I won’t get a chance to hear any new music from Michael Jackson.  Yes, I bought all his albums over the years and even pulled the CD’s out last week to hear them again.

I am also saddended by the fact, actually I am disgusted, how the Vultures have already started to pick at the remaining flesh off of his distorted bag of bones!  First there is Jesse Jackson last Saturday acting as a spokesman for the Jackson family, getting TV time on the death of the legend and the mystery concerning the doctor who was present at the time of the incident.  Yes sir, old Jesse Jackson, the piece of shit black man who has stolen from his own people over his lifetime in an effort to be a champion of racial equality!  Yeh!  One day I will write about my business dealings with the cronies of Jesse Jackson.

Then comes Joe Jackson who was on hand at the BET Awards to begin promoting himself again.  It looks like Joe will take a second bite out of Michael after chewing on him for decades as a child.  Even in death, Joe will make money off the music of Michael Jackson, until the good lord smacks him in the ass and sends him to hell.  Joe can’t wait to have a family reunion with all the boys on stage,and he desparately wants to get his hands on the recorded music and dance steps from Michaels practice sessions.

Kissing up real good to the Jackson ass club is Al Sharpton!  Who the hell is this loser anyway?  He has jumped on the bandwagon and was hootin and hollerin at the BET  Awards looking to be a guiding light to the Jackson family, as long as he gets to wet his beak a little from the profits.  The worst vulture on the planet.

And alas, how about Debbie Rowe, who took millions from MJ, and now wants to have her 2 children back.  Yea, sure, their future millions would buy her a lot of horses, and allow her a chance to get some weight loss therapy.  This fat ass white girl rarely spent time with the kids and now she wants to enter their life????

 I didn’t pick on MJ’s mom, Katherine.  She may be the only sane one of the bunch.  She hasn’t started pecking at his flesh yet, but maybe she will just take an eyeball or two. 

After several years of corporate incompetence, I am convinced that CEO’s and their posse are only interested in short term goals intended to get the stock price up in order to cash out those options!  You can’t tell me that GM top brass didn’t realize that the bubble they tried to create over the last 5 years had pinholes in it?  Think about it!  You build cars and trucks that are too big & heavy with huge motors that guzzle gasoline just to make those 4′9″ soccer moms feel powerful when the get behind the wheel, put two phone books on the seat just to see over the steering wheel, turn on the cellphone, add a little makeup while driving and watch that new DVD on the dashboard’s TV set!  Then you sell these behemoth’s for $40K - $60K each and expect people to keep paying the car notes!  You attempt to make small, fuel efficient cars, but by gosh, they have to be made in plants where new or blind union employees work.  The workmanship is horrible, the cars fall apart, and the poor soul that paid $20K for the car now has a bucket of bolts that no one wants!  And you along with all the other Detroit car makers thought that you could ride the wave of prosperity for ever!  And by the way!  Where do you get your car designers from?  Waffle House!  Nearly everything you design looks like crap!  I suggest GM head over to California and meet with the design staff at Mattel, whose Hotwheels brand has the most interesting designs ever!  Sure, now you tell me GM can’t tool a factory to produce exotic cars.  Wanna make a bet?

I arrive at the emergency room after icing down this knee cap for about an hour.  Good thing I did, the swelling wasn’t as bad and believe it or not, I didn’t have any real pain, but always tell the doc your pain is level 8 or above, so he will prescribe some good pain pills.  I get an xray which shows some fragments inside the knee and I get a immobilizer to wear until I see an orthepedic surgeon.  A week later I meet Dr. irfan Ansari.  A young doctor with NFL credentials.  Cool guy who gives you the facts.  I didn’t have to have surgery, but those fragments in my knee would cause problems forever, so I opted for a little knee scoping to get those guys outta there.  During surgery, the doc removed two cartiledge fragments, with one being about 1.5 inches long!  There was not much pain for a few days after, but this week, now going on 8 days I am having problems going up stairs and moving around.  It will get better, and with a little rehab, I can play golf in about 8 weeks.  So, what do I do for the next 2 months!  No problem,  I purchased some more handguns and took a class on handgun safety!  I picked up a Smith & Wesson M&P 45 and a Glock Model 21 45cal! Nice handguns, cept you can’t buy ammo because redneck ronnie is hoarding it to help stop the next uprising in the city. Just let those squirrels gather around my bird feeders now!  I’ll pop a cap in their ass!  And another good thing happened!  Taking pain medication for about a week, I gave up bourbon and I believe I have weened myself off of alcohol!  It’s been 12 days since my last drink and I really don’t want one. This should make the baptist and those goody 2 shoe relatives happy!  I am also losing weight, thanks to the lack of bourbon calories I had consumed on a daily basis!  Oh and just in case you are thinking I am hooked on pain medication?   Think again!  Those things make you so constipated there comes a point that the pain in your knee is easier to live with than the pain in your ass!  When you have to hire coal miners to chip away at the clog in your butt, you stop taking those pills and live with the pain!

It’s been almost a month since I last blogged.  It seems I just don’t have a few minutes a day to read about some idiot in the paper or on the internet and blog about it, giving my opinion.  This time I had a few good reasons!  My work is requiring a lot more time than my last corporate job, but it is more interesting.  And, I encountered old age one sunny day in April on the golf course!  I was on the fourth hole, beautiful par 4, 385 yards to the center of the green.  I got me a new pair of golf shoes, some new golf balls, and the beginning of a low scoring round of golf.  I step up, address the ball, take my swing and WHAMO! I am on the turf, on my ass, yelling “SHIT”!  I look down and where my knee cap once resided is a crater of skin.  OH!   there’s that little knee cap on the right side of my leg!  I asked for a pitching wedge and whacked that knee cap right back on it’s intended home!  It hurt, yeh, it hurt.  The most severe pain in under two minutes I have ever had.  However, my drive was approximately 275 yards, center of the fairway.  I get up, hobble back to the golf cart and attempt to finish out the hole.  I did get a par, but now this old knee was starting to get a little stiff.  I decide to call it a day and wait for my golfing partner to finish the front nine before taking me to the emergency room. To be Continued….

My ongoing tribute to Bob Nardelli, the company destroyer.  He had his way with Home Depot, then got his hands on Chrysler and now will lose his job thanks to Fiat and bankruptcy!  While this is a sad day for Bob, he probably has secured a sizeable meal ticket from poor old Chrysler as part of the deal.  The real treat is to now try and figure out what company would be next in line to get screwed by this obvious idiot CEO!  He may have been a wiz kid at GE, but I believe that was thanks to his sponser Jack Welch.   I dunno, but I am traveling to Las Vegas this weekend and will stop in the MGM Mirage to see what the odds are on which company Bobby will @#&*# up next!  I’m kinda thinking a drug company might be the next place to go!  He would be the right person to spend billions developing a swine flu vaccine. Go get’em Bob!

Ah…. America!  Once again the government and media have lulled you into that mindless hypnosis that now makes you fear for your life if you get the dreaded swine flu!  3M and Kimberly Clark are jumping for joy as they ramp up production to meet the demand for face masks!  The CDC in Atlanta has found something to do for a few months, Mexico is blaming the WHO (not the band) for the slow reaction to the epidemic, California is trying to take blame for the problem to help Mexico feel better about itself, Vice President Joe Biden single handedly slowed air traffic with his stupid press conference statements and Paris Hilton, bless her soul, doesn’t eat pork!  But schools are closing all over the country just in case!  Look, for those of you who don’t get a chance to read the “Black Opp Press” it’s clear that the CIA in conjunction with Mexican authorities distributed the swine flu into the drug cartels that travel across the border with ease in California, Texas & Arizona!  The idea was kinda like Termite bait!  The drug cartel workers get infected, take it back to the honchos along with the money in Mexico and Viola! everyone get’s sick and dies!  However, as is usually the case, the CIA didn’t count on that one renegade mule, (drug cartel worker) that had a hot chick in Los Angeles and unfortunately spread the swine flu to her, and so on and so on…. before he went back to Mexico City.  See how simple this is!  All we gotta do is remain calm, drink a lot of bourbon and before  you know it, we will refocus on the recession!

The bowery boys from the U.S. Army Corps of Bungleires have decided that Lake Lanier has enough water in it so they are going to release millions of gallons to flow down stream into Alabama and Florida.  The Georgia division of the EPA director, Carol Couch has determined that water must be released in order to prevent harm to the trout population.  OK, but Ms, couch, ever caught a trout of of the Chattahoochee River?  Besides the normal 3 eyeballs, many of the trout have an SOS flag attached to their fin’s asking to get the hell out of the water!  There’s enough polution in the river to turn hispanic bathers into white folk!  The fear I have is the redneck that turns the spigot on the damn!  Last time these knuckleheads released the water, they all took a smoke break and released too much water!  Who is going to watch them this time?  So next week our lovely polluted Lake Lanier will be 10 feet or higher below full.   Just in time for the summer boating season!

Ever wonder why people open a business?  Is it a life long dream?  Are they on drugs? Can they not get hired in corporate America? Are they living the American Dream of being independent?  Or are they just plain dumb?  Well, I gotta tell ya!  I keep running across small business owners that open their doors for business just a few hours a day or sometimes just a few days a week!  How can they survive?  I also run across business owners who hire the god awfullest (new word) employees that are determined to put them out of business!  But the best example of the really stupid business owner is the one that develops policies and rules intended to make money, but really only makes the customer mad.  Take for instance this cigar store in Cumming, GA.  If you want to use thier WI-FI, you gotta pay to join their club???  If you want to use their restroom, you have to become a club member???  Say What!  A club member to use their Wi-Fi and take a dump! Hey fellas, if you want to go out of business faster, charge what few customers you have left a smoking fee and that should just about do it. No need to encourage customers to shop your establishment.  Oh, I’m sorry, the free cigars given out by store management will probably help….does the owner know about this????????

Finally, some white folk have listened to me and decided to lay the foundation for a revolution in this country.  The Tea Party’s that took place last night all over this great nation are the beginning.  But they shouldn’t stop there!  I would have been at the one in Atlanta had it not been for a late afternoon meeting with a client.  These protests must continue to show those bastards in Washington that stealing from the taxpayers to give to the big corporations and banks who routinely steal from the taxpayers is a no-win situation!  We need millions of us to stop paying taxes and see how the criminality of government would operate!  I haven’t received a bailout and I just sent more money to the IRS.  Keep the revolution alive!  Hire Castro! Elect Chavez!
