OK, LET'S SEE WHAT'S NEW
By GUMS

A lot of folks are asking me when I'm going to have something to say about Haiti. Damned if it doesn't seem like a lot of you are as pissed off as I am about all the cash flowing into that corrupt government. So here are my thoughts on that subject-- SCREW THEM AND THEIR WRECKED COUNTRY!! To start with, we (the American taxpayer) have dumped over $1,000,000,000.00 (that's one billion dollars folks) into that cesspool since 1990 and there has been no change in the way those people live. There have also been many more billions of dollars poured into Haiti since the early 1700's when they won their freedom. Just a quick piece of history: In 1791 the government of France passed legislation to phase out slavery in its Caribbean colonies and grant the former black slaves citizenship. Rather than becoming citizens, Haiti's black population mass murdered all whites and Mulattoes who could not flee the Island in time. In 1804 only full blooded blacks remained and Haiti became the first black ruled nation. I have been to Haiti several times while I was in the Navy, so I have seen it first hand. During the last forty years since I was there, nothing has changed. Just what the hell have all those people done with the money we have given them?? Their Government is nothing more than a bunch of thieves and crooks that screw the poor people. Until the people of Haiti get off their dead asses and do something about that, I say no more money or help of any kind-- SCREW THEM!! The island of Haiti is nothing more than a hole in the ocean that is swallowing up American tax dollars with no results and this must stop! Another point, all of you "DO GOODERS" who have collected many millions more both in cash and hundreds of tons of food and aid, do ya feel better now? Are ya sleeping better at night knowing ya sent aid and cash to one of the most corrupt Governments in the world? I was just wondering how much have you done for your fellow Americans? How about that ole lady down the street that doesn't have any heat, what did ya do for her? How about the kids on the next block who only have one meal a day. Ya I know, the Government gives them help, go ask them how much real help they get. Not a fucking thing I bet! There are children going hungry here too and they don't get shit!! How about all the ass hole churches that want to bring 45,000 Haitians here to Florida. Give them a chance at a better life my ole ass, leave them where they are, we don't want them here! The churches bring them here and dump them on the American taxpayer to take care of-- that sucks! The more I say about Haiti, the more pissed I get, so to close, I'll just say, till they take care of their own island and get rid of their corrupt Government-- SCREW THEM, LET THEM EAT AT THE DUMPS THEY LIVE IN!!

OK, NOW THAT THAT'S SAID, WHAT'S NEXT?

Febuary 11,2010, did yall read about the teenage girl that got the shit kicked out of her while three "SECURITY" guards stood around and watched? Seems up in Seattle Washington, a fifteen year old girl ran up to Three male guards in a subway station and told them a gang of kids were chasing her and going to kick her ass. The group of punks caught up with her, knocked her to the ground and kicked the hell out of her. Meanwhile, a young punk makes off with her purse. All this time, the three "security" guards stood there and watched the whole thing. The victim reported $711 of personal items were stolen, including her iPod and cell phone. Oh ya, the whole thing is on video tape for the whole world to see. The guards say their "union" contract (AHHHH shit another shit ass union, it figures)tells them to "ONLY" "Observe and report" and not to intervene. The company who runs the guards (if you can call these ass holes that) say's "The current contract language doesn't expressly forbid Olympic guards from physically stopping an attack, but officials say Olympic's personnel are trained not to intervene." Olympic is the company who employ's the guards. The manager of the King County Metro Transit (Kevin Desmond) said, "we are very disappointed in what people see in that video." YAAA, I'll just bet he is too!! I guess if there was no video, the transit company could have just lied about it and said it never happened, but CAUGHT YA!! I wonder if someone was kicking the shit out of one of these ass hole guards kids, would he help his own family? I doubt it, they are all cowards feeding off public money through some shit ass union. Fire all the guards involved here, kick the union the hell out of any state contracts and sue the shit out of the transit company for hiring these ass holes in the first place!

NEXT ITEM

Just a quick update on Haiti: I see in today's paper (2/18/10) we here in the state of Florida have now taken in 7000 children from Haiti. Now isn't that just wonderful! This means 7000 more welfare checks, 7000 more people getting free food stamps, 7000 more unpaid hospital bills and 7000 more non-English speaking brats forcing American kids out of their own schools, 7000 more people draining the money meant for American citizens. All I can say is: "WILL THE LAST ENGLISH SPEAKING AMERICAN TO LEAVE FLORIDA, PLEASE BRING OUR FLAG!"

NOW ON TO SOMETHING ELSE

Here is a question rather than a comment from me. We here in Florida have this guy named Craig Wall in prison here for stabbing his girlfriend to death. The pictures I have seen show her to be a "FOX", a real cute lady. Well they have this guy Wall on a "SUICIDE WATCH". now here is what I don't understand. This dude is said to have killed his girlfriend, and by the way, he is also a suspect in the killing of his own 5 week son, why is he on a suicide watch? Why not let this ass hole kill himself and save the taxpayers of Florida millions of dollars in legal fees and the cost of taking care of him. I mean, hell, just let him do his thing and be done with it. I guess some lawyer wouldn't make any money that way though!

ALRIGHT, NOW, NEXT ITEM

Did ya ever want to ask someone a question at Sears or K-Mart? Search for an hour and no one in sight to answer your question!! I quit using my Sears card years ago because of their shitty service. Their clerks stand around talking to each other and could give a shit if you spend your money there or not. I had a $50.00 "GIFT" card from Sears and figured I'd use it as part payment on a new air compressor. I went to the Sears scratch and dent center where they sell overstock items as well as damaged items. Found a nice $500.00 compressor marked down to $350.00. Cool I thought, who cares if it is missing the hose and the air gun that comes with it. I got all that at home anyway. After half an hour waiting for someone to come to the check out for my money, here comes this "bimbo" chick chewing gum like her life depended on it. I handed her my cash and the gift card---but wait!!! She say's "we don't take Sears gift cards here at this Sears surplus store". Now the sign on the building clearly says "SEARS", the card in my hand says "Sears" so what's the problem I ask? This bimbo couldn't have told yak what time of day it was. She say's "all Sears gift cards have to be spent at a "REAL" Sears store OR maybe I could try K-Mart". I wasn't real happy about not being told that I wasn't in a "REAL" Sears store. I never knew that there was such a thing as a "NON REAL" Sears store---oh well live and learn I guess. Now in today's paper, Febuary 23rd, 2010, I read that Sears is closing eight Sears stores and 13 Kmart stores in April and May, laying off hundreds of employees in the process. I wonder, "are these going to be the real Sears stores or the pretend ones?" I wonder if the little bimbo with the gum will still have a job, not that I give a shit ... just wondering.

A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM GUMS, THINGS YOUR BURGLAR WON'T TELL YOU:

Of course I look familiar. I was here just last week cleaning your carpets, painting your shutters or delivering your new refrigerator.
Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week. While I was in there, I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier.
Love those flowers. That tells me you have taste ... and taste means there are nice things inside. Those yard toys your kids leave out always make me wonder what type of gaming system they have.
Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up on the driveway. And I might leave a pizza flyer in your front door to see how long it takes you to remove it.
If it snows while you're out of town, get a neighbor to create car and foot tracks into the house. Virgin drifts in the driveway are a dead giveaway.
If decorative glass is part of your front entrance, don't let your alarm company install the control pad where I can see if it's set. That makes it too easy.
A good security company alarms the window over the sink. And the windows on the second floor, which often access the master bedroom-and your jewelry. It's not a bad idea to put motion detectors up there too.
It's raining, you're fumbling with your umbrella, and you forget to lock your door-understandable. But understand this: I don't take a day off because of bad weather..
I always knock first. If you answer, I'll ask for directions somewhere or offer to clean your gutters. (Don't take me up on it.)
Do you really think I won't look in your sock drawer? I always check dresser drawers, the bedside table, and the medicine cabinet.
Helpful hint: I almost never go into kids' rooms.
You're right: I won't have enough time to break into that safe where you keep your valuables. But if it's not bolted down, I'll take it with me.
A loud TV or radio can be a better deterrent than the best alarm system. If you're reluctant to leave your TV on while you're out of town, you can buy a $35 device that works on a timer and simulates the flickering glow of a real television. (Find it at faketv.com.)
Sometimes, I carry a clipboard.. Sometimes, I dress like a lawn guy and carry a rake. I do my best to never, ever look like a crook.
The two things I hate most: loud dogs and nosy neighbors.
I'll break a window to get in, even if it makes a little noise. If your neighbor hears one loud sound, he'll stop what he's doing and wait to hear it again. If he doesn't hear it again, he'll just go back to what he was doing. It's human nature.
I'm not complaining, but why would you pay all that money for a fancy alarm system and leave your house without setting it?
I love looking in your windows. I'm looking for signs that you're home, and for flat screen TVs or gaming systems I'd like. I'll drive or walk through your neighborhood at night, before you close the blinds, just to pick my targets.
Avoid announcing your vacation on your Facebook page. It's easier than you think to look up your address.
To you, leaving that window open just a crack during the day is a way to let in a little fresh air. To me, it's an invitation.
If you don't answer when I knock, I try the door. Occasionally, I hit the jackpot and walk right in.

REMEMBER: SUE THE SHIT OUT OF SOMEONE IF THEY HIT YA WHILE TALKING ON A CELL PHONE!!! EVEN IF YA AIN' T HURT VERY BAD, SUE FOR EVERY MEDICAL PROBLEM YA CAN THINK OF !! SCREW THEM! HANG UP THE DAMN PHONE AND DRIVE---TALK LATER, THERE IS NO PHONE CALL SO IMPORTANT THAT IT'S WORTH KILLING SOMEONE OVER!!!
