DALE PETERSON PARODY ACTOR GUILTY OF VIOLATING CALIFORNIA TOY GUN LAW

5-20-2010 11:10 AM EST

Have you had a chance to see the video making fun of the Dale Peterson political ad yet ?

We're Better Than That, Too!!!! w/ Dale Peterson - watch more funny videos

I wonder if the idiot in the video is aware of the various toy gun laws in California?
Of course the liberal gun grabbers in California will not pursue this because he is making fun of a conservative !
Could pointing the gun at the camera could prove to be a sticky point for this clown? .

California toy gun law

http://www.socalairsoft.com/ca-airsoft-law/

California penal code

http://law.justia.com/california/codes/pen/12550-12556.html

Which agency is investigating this ?
How do we know then toy gun was manufactured ?
This video will go " viral " who will ask the tough questions ?
What about the facility it was filmed at ?
Did they have all the proper permits and paperwork ?
What message does this send to children?
Where are the anti gun advocates at?
I wonder how gets the last laugh on this one ?

TIGER'S MASTERS APPEARANCE

4-12-2010

The Media was frothing at the mouth for a story that emphasized Tiger's triumphant return to golf.
Fortunately they came up empty handed .
Tiger arrived with at least 90 Bodyguards .The body guards were not present as much to prevent physical harm to Tiger or heckling from the crowd .
The men were there to prevent any of the dozens of hookers , porn stars, and bimbo's that Tiger has been playing unspeakable games with from entering the venue.
Tiger quite simply has engaged in illegal activities across state lines and it appears it is a " continuing criminal enterprise "

The normal security force at a Masters event is 200 people .Tiger's appearance brought another 90 men.
WOW , would the President or the Pope warrant an extra 90 security officers ?
If Tiger's actions are so bad that he needs upwards to 100 people to CENSOR and SUPPRESS any one that could show up or express their opinion , then perhaps the game could do without TIGER .

The greed that exists at the Network level rewards this kind of behavior .
I find it hard to believe that the organizers of the Masters Invitational would tarnish their storied reputation and tradition by letting Tiger disgrace their tournament .

Will the female that was initially denied entry because " she looked like a porn star Tiger paid tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to have sex with him " receive a record payday from Tiger's paranoid delusions of narcissism ?
Sounds like this female was defamed and suffered and should not only take Tiger to the bank , but also the group that put on the tournament ?

Phil Mickelson won the tournament and the media granted him mere SECONDS of coverage.
Phil was playing with the burden of both his wife and mother struggling with breast cancer .
Tiger, who we have been told is " mentally tougher than any human on the planet " ,appears to have been beat by a human male that had plenty of mental distractions to contend with of his own .
Tiger appeared to be a mere mortal and one has to ask if Tiger has indeed used steroids to boost his performance in the past ?
Take a look at the baseball players ( those who have admitted and denied steroid use ) and see if " magically their careers exploded" , then after they quit taking the drugs went back to a more " normal " level of play .

Steroids would explain his talent and also the superhuman sex drive he seems to be unable to control .
Tiger's head is exceptionally large and that should arouse comparision to Barry Bonds bloated head .

What was going through Amy Mickelson's mind as she watched her husband join a small group of men that have won the Master's event 3 times .
I bet she was thinking only of his accomplishment and how fortunate it was that his proud mother was able to see him accomplish his 3rd Masters title .

The events that unfolded at the Masters are a perfect example how selfish ,greedy,evil, and narcissistic people are rewarded and elevated by modern society to world wide fame and fortune .

Is Tiger " TO BIG TO FAIL " and the PGA ,TV NETWORKS , and SPONSORS will stoop to anything to keep him propped up to enable their dwindling revenue stream ?
Is the NIKE GOLF product line technically superior to all others or is it actually just an identical piece of merchandise made offshore and bears the TIGER logo to boost sales ?
Tiger's wife was not at the event .She has a billionaire husband with a seemingly insatiable appetite for porn stars and orgies , as well as one night stands with bimbos .
Are we to believe that Elin couldn't " pull herself together " long enough to accompany her husband and show her support for him and their marriage ?
Could it be that she is being made unavailable, and at this point is in it " just for the money " ( how does this make her any different than Tiger's Rent a Babes ? )

Amy Mickelson was there for her husband , despite suffering from a disease that is a leading cause of death in females .

Now Tiger says he is going to slide back in his hole and insulate himself from the slimy details of his life ,and is unable to say when he will play golf again .

Tiger had another disingenuous Press conference , and this time proclaimed how relieved he was to have this horrible monkey off his back .
Tiger Didnt look happy to me .
I find it very hard to believe that for years he spent enormous amounts of money and had at least two full time employees organizing hookers and orgies on different continents of the world ,and is able to " kick the habit " and is back to being " just a normal guy " .
Tiger MUST be unhappy because he can no longer be one of the richest and most powerful men on the planet and manipulate and use people for his own sordid pleasure.

How long before NIKE sees the light and walks away from TIGER ?

Tiger's inexcusable behavior,denial and the complicity of the media, Sponsors , PGA and the TV networks is a glaring example of what is wrong in our country today .

Phil Mickleson should be worried as " no good deed goes unpunished "

Personally I can think back to what Charlton Heston said about trusting his daughter or gun with Bill Clinton and insert Tiger's name and it just blows my mind this man is immune to criminal prosecution, and is hailed as a hero and showered with money and fame .

RIVER ADVENTURE TO SEE THE THUNDER BIRD AIR SHOW

RIVER ADVENTURE TO SEE THE THUNDER BIRD AIR SHOW

The Thunderbirds were flying Saturday , and I decided to take a trip to my new river retreat , and take a cruise up the river and watch the airshow from the river .
The show drew more than 100,000 people and getting on the base would have proved to been a slow process.

Recently I bought some land on the river and built an eco friendly house upon it .
My accountant said over the long run it looks like it will be a great investment.
The combination of the decades low interest rate , the tax incentives and rebates to build a " green " structure , and the close proximity of celebrities, all make the total cost of ownership very reasonable .

An official from the Energy Dept contacted me and it looks like I may receive an
" eco grant " to make a video so others can understand how to harness the incredible
" Ocean-Atmosphere coupling " concept to cool their waterfront homes

The idea came to me one weekend while watching the Nascar race from the balcony at the beach .( I discovered if you turn the ceiling fan on REVERSE , and read the book "Jonathan Livingston Seagull", written by Richard Bach, into the KAROKE machine , then at the end of each chapter a caution flag or pit stop will happen )

Here is the photo of my new retreat , it is built entirely from
" reclaimed lumber", instead of nails we used recycled plastic plungers from an ice cream novelty ( "push ups" ) , and it takes full advantage of the natural process of the fact that land cools faster than adjacent bodies of water , and the water creates a natural cooling breeze .

As we made our way up the river I took photos of some of the natural beauty and the people who enjoy the river lifestyle .
Here is a photo of one of my celebrity neighbors' property .
Bubba Gump is Forrest's younger brother .
Bubba has a phobia of seagulls, so he chose to run a "trot line " operation rather than be a shrimper like his brother .
Here is a photo of the ship he uses daily to run his trot line ,and if you look closely you can see his luxury pre manufactured home ( it's the envy of everyone on the river ) in the background

A quick stop to let Bubba aboard and we were on our way .
Bubba thanked me again for telling him about Air America, and told me even though AA filed for bankruptcy and is off the air , he had learned much from them and he is looking at health care reform as a GOOD THING .

Bubba said although he has made the decision to lay off all of the hard working illegal aliens on his crew, utilizing new technology would increase his efficiency and this would make for higher productivity at a drastically lower cost .
Bubba said he is going to give a portion of his catch to the poor, to help offset the jobs he destroyed from the outcomes of Health Care reform and Carbon Taxes .

Bubba is moving to the SAMUS system, and is going to abandon the traditional trotline method for harvesting River Cats .

Below are a couple of examples of other people who use this method to harvest fish

Big fish are easy to catch

We drove past two guys who were using their vantage point at work to see the airshow.

This photo shows the " water line " from the recent flooding on the young trees growing on the " sand bar "

This is a photo showing trees that have been caught on the power line pedestal as the flood waters receded from the flooding two weeks ago .

Next we went under the " old bridge "

Watching the old bridge disappear aft , we came to the " new bridge "

The new bridge has a new way to monitor and report the river level via the internet

Check river level here

www.al.water.usgs.gov

I manage to capture 2 rare photo's of the seldom seen River Bovine .
The River Bovine is classified as an endangered species and are protected under federal law.
Opinions varied on the boat , some thought they were present to watch the airshow , while others thought perhaps they were grazing on Crawfish ( their favorite food ) as the flood waters were receding and made the mud bugs easier to catch .

This is a photo of the " Red Albino River Bovine " this rare genetic variation is estimated to occur only in 1 in 500,000 births and it is thought only 7 Red Albino's exist in the world today .
Notice the " RED " is in very cautious and uses the rest of the herd to shield him .

A few more folks had the same idea to watch the air show from the river .
All kinds of boats were present and here is a brightly colored one .

This is one of my friend's boat, it is called the " CAT BOAT " , it has an all carbon fibre hull , two huge 540 CI supercharged engines ,and polished chromed everything .It is built to go racing the day it arrived, he races it in Lake Pontchartrain and has exceeded 160 M.P.H. in it .

Water patrol was present and accounted for to ensure everyone's safety

Bringing the right gear is essential to make sure a day at the river is fun rather than frustrating .
The boat anchored next to us was an experienced " river rat ", and had the correct gear to make sure he had a fun outing .
Make sure you have the right shoes !

A sturdy chair with beverage holder and a " lil red rib cooker " make the trip very comfortable .

Bubba bought his newest invention with him .
Bubba was present when I constructed the " River Retreat " , and we have become pretty good friends .
Bubba was gracious enough to allow me to purchase a 40% share of his new invention ,and when my check clears the bank next week,we are going to visit his
brother-in-law ( he is a lawyer ) and file for the patent .

The new invention is called the :

" SKI N PEE "

The " SKI N PEE " has all the functionality a world class river skier demands in a ski rope, and the added benefit of allowing the female passengers to quickly and safely climb the river bank to " answer the call of nature "
( Proper Ladies would never descend the ladder on the back of the boat and use the river as a bathroom )

I drew on my experiences and contacts in Vegas to provide the proper packaging of the tissue .

WW II vintage aircraft were the first to take to the air

Another one

This group of 4 flew in formation and the sound of their rotary engines was awesome.

This is a C-130 about to drop cargo

The cargo drop

Once the vintage propeller aircraft were back on the runway , the Air Force flew it's latest aircraft over for every one to see .
This aircraft uses the "NEGATIVE REFRACTION " technology to make it invisible !
It is also emits virtually no greenhouse gasses

The F-18 belongs to one of the local guard units.

The B-52 was huge.

The boat was anchored in a direct path of the " 18 " runway .
The

Thunder Birds flew directly over us at treetop level ( less than 50 feet high ) and it was difficult to get crisp photos, but I managed to get a few

Solo TBird

Solo bird banking to join the others

A pair

These 3 had the landing gear down, I think they were going to demonstrate a " touch and go "

4Tbirds in tight formation

4 Tbirds deploying smoke

I am glad I had the chance to see the airshow .
Bubba says we may never have the chance to see another one .
He told me that in the future Cap N Trade would make the show go from a free family oriented event, to a a mega expensive event that only a few super rich Billionaires and Large Corporations could afford to pay the " Carbon Tax " and attend .

Bubba also told me that because so many " Teabaggers " live here and own firearms they might consider this a " terrorist zone " once the November 2010 elections are held under the watchful eye of Martial Law .

CARL EDWARDS THUMBS NOSE AT NASCAR

3-9-2010 9:45 AM EST

Carl Edwards showed his arrogance and total lack of respect for Nascar, the sport , and most importantly the FANS during the running of the Kobalt tools 500 .

Edwards was involved in an accident early in the running with the driver of the #12 car .

Edwards hit Keselowski on purpose and Keselowski's car became airborne .At the time Edwards was 156 laps behind in a 325 lap race that had only a few laps left .

FOX sports was broadcasting the event and suddenly made an abrupt about face on showing the video footage .
Fox showed the accident ONE TIME , then showed video from the lap before where Edwards almost hit the wall trying to intentionally wreck Keselowski.
It is more than obvious that Nascar contacted the FOX people and told them not to show EITHER account again .

Edwards and Keselowski have a history , a history of entanglements that is widely known .

I think NASCAR needs to sit Edwards out for at least 2 races .Edwards currently has 435 points and that places him in 20th place in the points standings .
Missing 2 races should place Edwards about 40th in the points standing and make it near impossible for him to earn a spot in the " CHASE " .
Perhaps NASCAR should make Edwards forfeit 1/2 of his salary and earnings .

Nascar has become intoxicated by the lure of BIG MONEY that Television brings to the sport.
Do longtime Nascar fans want a SPECTACLE ( as it would no longer really be the GENTLEMAN'S Sport it began as ) that the NBA and to some extent the NFL has become ?

Question that need to be answered .

1) Did Keselowksi radio his team on the lap prior to the accident and alert anyone to Edwards' actions ? If so how long before that was reported to a Nascar official ?
2) Why would Edwards and his team work so hard to get back in the race if retaliation wasn't the motivating factor ? ( at the end of the race Edwards was 5 laps behind Nemechek and had no chance of moving up and earning an additional 3 points )
3) Will Edwards' crew chief be fined and suspended?
4) Who else on the Aflac team knew that Edwards only wanted to get back in the race to " pay back " Keselowski ?
5) Why wasnt Edwards " black flagged " on the previous lap when he tried but failed to wreck Keselowski?
6) Why did it take Nascar several caution laps after the incident to call Edwards into the pits ?
7) What should Nascar do about the 95 points and 10 positions Keselowski lost in the points standings due to the reckless actions of Edwards ?
8) What would the cost be to Nascar IF the #12 car had injured a fan , a Nascar team member, or an employee of Nascar or safety crew ?
9) Has Edwards put himself in legal jeopardy, or does the mere fact you are in a Nascar sanctioned event release one from ramifications from conspiring to bring harm ( or possibly death ) to a fellow participant ?
10) Will the other drivers perceive Edwards and Keselowski a bigger danger on the track than the rookies with yellow bumpers ?
11) Will AFLAC drop its sponsorship of Edwards ?
12) How many potential Sponsors will be advised by their legal team , that until Nascar solves this crisis , that legal exposure and bad publicity far out weigh any benefits from being a Sponsor?

Nascar needs to end this problem before it gains any more strength .
Edwards should be banned from participation in any race at a Nascar event for the rest of the year . Edwards' crew chief needs to find himself in the exact same position as Edwards .
The owner of the team needs a severe penalty as well .
Nascar could place Edwards in a position that no team could take the financial risk of hiring Edwards .

Big Money has found Nascar , and the actions by Edwards could have ramifications no one wants to see become a reality .
Could we see some of the prominent drivers like Earnhardt , Gordon , Johnson, Stewart , and the well entrenched teams split off and form their own league like what happened to Indy Car racing ?

This is Nascar's wake up call .
Nascar needs to pave these tracks,improve the fences and barricades , and make every effort to make the sport safe for everyone involved on the track , in the stands , and in the corporate world .

Top drivers are making 10 Million a year , plus endorsements .
Nascar is at a pivotal point,how will they handle the Edwards fiasco ?

Should Nascar institute a rule that once a damaged car is X laps down they can no longer re enter the race ?
The high speeds and aerodynamics of a track the size of Atlanta make it preposterous that a badly damaged car like Edwards' could do little more than limp around the track and be a danger and nuisance for the other cars on the track .
The poor tire provided by Goodyear for this race kept drivers from using a full tank of fuel before the tires were worn and making it dangerous to stay on the track .Functioning , unwrecked cars were getting lapped , Edwards had no chance to re enter the race and do anything but let the leaders keep lapping him .The decision to re enter the race track for a mere 3 points makes no sense at all .
The crew should have loaded the car up and started focusing on the race in BRISTOL .
I am certain Nascar will not take the chance of unleashing Edwards on a track like Bristol .
A decision by Nascar to let Edwards race at Bristol would be unpopular with fans and drivers , and a mockery for the sport .
