Luuuuke....Use The Force

WOO HOO!!! We don't get many blue-chippers here in the 775 and when we do, it's almost impossible to keep 'em. Not this time. Studlier-than-thou power forward Luke Babbitt nixed his verbal to OSU and decided to play for the Silver and Blue. Don't think it's important? Don't really care? Check this...with Cool Hand Luke plying his trade at THE U of N...you can add a couple o' million more dollars flowin' into campus coffers and maybe even a couple of more NCAA Tournament wins. Major coup for Fox & Friends. Huzzah...it's a great day to be among the Wolf Pack faithful!

Drowning on Dry Land

Anytime you hear the words "new government entity" know that your tax dollars are likely being flushed down the toilet.

The newest waste...the "Western Regional Water Commission." They're tasked with managing our water supplies and search for new sources. Hey dumbasses...here's a newsflash -- manage the growth of the state's population and you won't NEED to find more water. Or is that just too simple of an answer for the government cheese?

Doctor...Doctor...Gimme the News...

So...the Silver State's sawbones rank in the bottom ten in the country. We say...so what.


If you did your job and had only 1.68 mistakes per 1,000 tasks...that'd be a pretty good average.


Remember...America has some of the best doctors and hospitals in the world. That is...unless you're one of these guys.

The Longest Day

Sixty-three years ago today, a lot of good people took a lot of bad shit to rid the world of one screwed-up individual and his lunatic followers. Thanks boys...you help us remember that America wasn't always the most hated nation in the world.

We Don't Need No Edu-ma-cation

ALLRIGHT, school is out here in the 775!

A couple of things to remember kiddies...

Don't let your friends and family get too happy at graduation...

Sell your soul now so you can afford college...

and

If you need a job...here ya go.

Welcome to the real world.

Again, the government cheese getting bigger 'cause they can't do all that work by their little lonesomes.

The Western Regional Water Commission won't have authority to acquire water, raise rates, or incur debt. Well, at least, the "can't raise rates" and the "can't incur debt" parts are right on.

The agency will have the ability to create region-wide plans for the use, management and conservation of water. Ummm...shouldn't we already have someone to do that?

Meanwhile, at the last minute, Lawmakers gave pay raises to school board members in Washoe and Clark counties. Board members were making $480 per month and now they get $2,000 per month. That's a 300% increase. No wonder the state doesn't have the money for things like transportation, education and meth addiction...they're spending all your tax money giving raises to their buddies. SHEESH!

Spreading Democracy Throughout the World

Eighteen years ago today, in what became known as the Tiananmen Square massacre, hundreds of pro-democracy students were reported killed and thousands wounded as Chinese troops swept demonstrators from the square in Beijing.

Today, China is one of our biggest trading partners.

When the government cheese tells you they're "spreading democracy," tell them they're liars!

If He Marries His Sister's Daughter, Will the Kids Call Him Uncle Dad?

See this pink-assed cracker? ---->

His name is Robert Zoellick. The President just named him to head-up the World Bank.

What's the problem you ask?

Zoellick is replacing Paul Wolfowitz. Remember the Wolfster? He was the chief architect of the war in Iraq.

Wolfie did such a cracker jack job with the war that he got himself a promotion to the top gig at the WB.

Wolf-gag promptly gave his uber-manly girlfriend a raise and a promotion which led to his can getting canned.

So now the prez is picking ZoZo for the gig.

His qualifications? He was a consultant to ENRON!!!

Remember those rat bastards? It seems the crappier you do your job, the more likely it is that the President will give you a promotion.

Just remember...the president is NOT in bed with big energy.

Yo Mr. Bush...all we do here at PTB is write a bit of a blog...got an opening at Homeland Security?

We Don't Need No Education...

Question to the more spiritualized among us…

Why was eating from the tree of “KNOWLEDGE” a bad thing?

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day (that is if he likes fish). Teach a man to fish and you feed him for life (unless he doesn’t like fish).

You’d think the “Greatest Country in the World” could afford gear for ALL students…not just the bourgie ones.

It doesn’t have to be top-of-the-line, brand-spankin’ new --insert designer label name of choice here -- stuff.

But Agnes Risley students are a shining example of what a little investment (grants, free software and unappreciated teachers), a little ingenuity and a lot of hard work can accomplish.

The Government Cheese always has money for pay raises...
and blowin’ people up…
maybe it’s time they handled our tax money a little wiser. Neh?

Why We Fight

Soldiers go to war because they're ordered to...

Politicians send soldiers to war because they, themselves, don't have to.

Here at PTB we love our men and women in uniform. We hope all of you to love 'em too. And so tonight, when you hit your knees, please ask God to love 'em...

Lord knows, the politicians never have and never will...

...and when they say they do love the troops, tell them they're L I A R S!

As for the gang here at PTB...We just want our brothers and sisters home.

Godspeed

Why the Hell Would Gomer Leave Mayberry?

Here at PTB we feel that there is no higher calling than to serve one’s country. It seems though, that since WWII ended, we’ve been sending our kids to far away lands to die for nothing. Don’t believe us?

North Korea is still a threat…

Viet Nam is our friend now…

Grenada? Puh-Leese!

You saw for yourself what Gulf War #1 did…

And now these two POINTLESS wars.

If We Don't Fight 'Em Over There, We'll Have To Fight 'Em Over Here.

Here at PTB we have a soft spot in our hearts (and heads) for our Mormon brothers and sisters.

Hell, the 775 is home to quite a few LDSers.

But talk about a shitty break...some rat bastard went and named named these despicable creatures after 'em.

Can you imagine what a what a Catholic cricket would look like?

The Silver State's pestician may think 10-20 acres of the little bastards aren't a big deal...but just looking at ONE of them gives us the major willies.

At least we've got our own flock of seagulls. Remember it on election day!

Flags of Our Fathers

We here at PTB are proud flag wavers/burners. Both are great ways to show how much you love the good ol' U.S. of A.

But this "flap" (pun intended) about the humongous stars & bars flying over Hummers-R-Us down in the 702 has us cheesed off.

The Mayor wants a veterans' memorial at the site and the flag can stay. No memorial...no Oversized Old
Glory.

What? Like 'Vegas wasn't already gaudy?

Neighbors accuse the flag of keeping them awake at night.

Jeez...you'd think the gunfire and crack ho's would be AT LEAST as noisy.

We're just happy to read a story about erecting poles!

One final thought. Would a real patriot drive a hummer?

Cracked Ho's

So, this motherhubbard tells us he "voted his conscience" when vetoing legislation dealing with Nevada's meth problem.


Yeah right.


He said that people who lobbied him called the bill “onerous.” For you definition-challenged individuals, it means “burdensome or oppressive.”


You’d think we’d NEED that kind of a law to deal with this problem.

Oh, we get it.

We can oppress the terrorists in Gitmo...

We can oppress our brown-skinned brothers trying to make a better life for themselves...

We can even oppress an entire segment of the population because of who they're bangin'.

But we wouldn't want a little oppression on "Crackufacturers."

Thanks a lot Nevada Assembly Republicans…you’ve reinforced every negative stereotype we’ve had about your party.

Smoke on the Water

Back in the day…who put out forest fires in Tahoe? The trees are still there, so it doesn't seem to have hurt the forest much.


And how is it that, back in the day, you could ride a horse from the lake to Virginia City in about an hour?

When the bourgieman builds his pad in Bambi's back yard, he shouldn’t cry when the Washoe Zephyr makes him pay. Actually, we're the ones who are paying.

So, the government wants to get out of the mail delivery business, eh?

With privatization of the postal system...will rate increases become non-existent? No.

We’ve tried privatization.

Remember the rebuilding of Iraq by Halliburtion?

The government privatized half of FEMA before Hurricane Katrina. We know how that turned out.

If the government keeps privatizing its work, what the hell are they spending our ever increasing tax money on?

Besides, do you really want this guy delivering your mail?

Remember, for every American casualty there are a hundred Iraqi deaths and countless martyrs.

We may be fighting them over there for now, but we'll be fighting 'em here for thousands of years to come.

"Oil companies are not overcharging motorists for gasoline, an industry group told Congress on Wednesday."

WTF???

Anyone with a pea for a brain knows that's just not true. $200 billion in profits from 2003 through 2006 isn't chump change. Who pays? We do. Higher oil prices mean higher prices for gas, food and just about everything else.

These guys have the Huevos Rancheros to tell Congress that they're not screwing us? BSC they are. Something needs to be done. Here's one suggestion.
