Hope you had a great 4th of July!!

This dickhead (DH) is Republican Barry Wong and he is a candidate for the Arizona Corporation Commission. DH Wong is the grandson of Chinese immigrants. If elected, DH Wong wants to verify the immigration status of new utility customers and then proceed to current customers. DH Wong wants to deny utilities to any undocumented immigrant and shut off the services of any current customer who is found to be here illegally.

DH Wong is quoted as saying, "is power or natural gas or any type of utility a right that people have? Is it a right or a service? Cutting electricity, water, natural gas, even telephone lines at the homes of illegal immigrants would lower the costs for the rest of the state's customers."

Glenn Hamer, the president and CEO of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry disagrees with Wong stating, "“Today is the third day in a row when Phoenix-area temperatures will reach 110 degrees or higher. Since you’re a native Phoenician, I don’t need to remind you of the peril our state’s most vulnerable residents face in our summer heat. To deny someone access to electricity based on his or her immigration status is not only a wrongheaded policy proposal, it’s just cruel,” Hamer wrote.

“Your claim that your proposal is somehow consumer-friendly is absurd. The costs of implementing your plan would be borne by ratepayers, never mind the hit taxpayers would take as police and fire departments would increasingly be responding to heat-related emergencies.”

Can you see just how ugly this has gotten? And people wonder why Hispanics are fleeing Arizona in droves. What a dickhead!!

On June 27th, people of the Gulf of Mexico region came together for "a day of prayer for the regions affected by the oil spill that has sent millions of gallons of crude gushing into the Gulf of Mexico."

The day was sponsored by the governors of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, and the Lt. governor of Florida, who all issued proclamations calling on their citizens to "pray for a solution that stops the leak and for the recovery of the coastline and fish and wildlife industries devastated by the April 20 BP oil rig explosion that killed 11 workers."

Cindy Jacobs, co-founder of the U.S. Reformation Prayer Network, told Charisma.com that her network has been praying since the spill occurred in April. She said, "Our prayer network all along the Gulf is fervently praying."

Today is July 3rd. The oil is still gushing. Hmm!!

I can't tell you how many of my republican friends have whined and complained that President Obama was going to take away their guns. But the Supreme Court just ruled that a person can own a gun for their protection in a Chicago case.

Update!!! This young lady is Larissa Riquelme. She is a lingerie model who loves the World Cup Soccer team from Paraguay. She has apparently promised to run down the streets naked with her body painted the colors of Paraguay if they win. Go Paraguay!!!

I went to Brad Smith's buyout Monday evening. Had a few beers and saw a lot of old friends. Had a good visit with Laurie Pruitt and Irene Meza who is going to subpoena me for a 2004 case I was involved in. Oui!!

The chief showed up and gave his usual rousing speech and left shortly after that. Saw Ski there. He's looking pretty good.

Lot's of new young faces there. Was I that young and a cop?? Couldn't have been. LOL

An oldie but a goodie!!!

I've seen recently that a woman's bra is a common place for them to store their cell phone. Especially women bicycle riders. Necessity is the mother of invention I guess.

Everyone is excited about the World Cup soccer tournament going on in South Africa. I have to say, I've never been a big soccer fan. I guess it's because I don't understand the finer details of the game. My son Brian is a big soccer fan. He played soccer from AYSO and club, up through high school, and at Cal Poly Pomona for one year before he broke his leg - playing soccer!!!

My wife is in a World Cup Soccer pool at work. She randomly ended up with Spain, which I'm told is a good team. Go Spain!! I'll need one of those horns.

I think I finally found a soccer team I can really get behind!!!

I got a good laugh out of this one!!!

Today is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. It's also considered the first day of summer. Sarah Palin chose today as a national day of prayer for the oil spill in the Gulf. We'll see how that works out.

It's said that the Stonehenge monument in England was built to align with the sunrise on the summer and winter solstices. This photo would seem to prove the point.

Act of God downs "Touchdown Jesus"

This is "Touchdown Jesus", a.k.a. "Drowning Jesus", a.k.a. "Big Butter Jesus", a.k.a. "Quicksand Jesus", a.k.a. "King of Kings", a six story tall statue of Jesus at the Solid Rock Church in Monroe, Ohio.

This is what's left of Touchdown after it was struck by lightning on Monday evening at about 11:15 pm and it burnt to the ground.

Now if there really is a god, would it strike it's own likeness with lightning and burn it to the ground?? Hmm??

Glen Beck - Republican mouth piece


Republicans aren't bigots?? Well South Carolina state Republican Senator John M. "Jake" Knotts, Jr. is quoted as saying, "We've got a raghead in Washington, we don't need a raghead in the Statehouse." Hmm???

Look at that face!!!

Remember this guy?? He is Rollen Fredrick Steward, aka Rock'n'Rollen and Rainbow man. He could be seen for years behind the goal posts of football games and other major sporting events sporting wild wigs and "John 3:16" signs.

Well I guess Rock'n'Rollen has fallenon hard times. Or should I say, he's doing hard time. Rock'n'Rollen is serving three consecutive life sentences on kidnapping charges. Seems in 1992 he lured two men to a hotel room with the intent to kidnap them for ransom and surprised the maid who locked herself in the bathroom. A stand-off with LAPD ensued and he threatened to shoot aircraft approaching LAX and covered the hotel room windows with "John 3:16" signs.

I'm sure there's a lesson to be learned there!!
