I was watching TV when I saw a trailer for the movie Thank You for Your Service.

Don’t bother watching it.

Oh fuck, not ANOTHER naval gazing movie about the war in Iraq.

Fantastic /sarc/!

Here is a bunch of rapists, perverts, and pedophiles, and their enablers – who ALL supported Barack Obama, who lied about what he knew about the VA, was callous to the bone about it, failed to really fix the problem, and protected rather than fire the people who were responsible for it, and was generally hated by the military – to lecture us in movie form about just how bad George W. Bush was.

Of course it has all the positive ratings by the Right Thinking People but is taking at the box office, which means all the knuckle dragging deplorables don’t want to pay their hard earned money to see it.

So on behalf of Middle America, Hollywood, you can all go fuck yourselves with an HIV infected dick.  Which is, disappointingly, the ONLY thing I haven’t heard was done by Tinsel Town’s cadre of sex offenders.

(Yeah, I’m feeling bitter, so what)

If your church legally forbids you to carry, stop attending. The Shepherd is not doing a very good job of tending the flock if he only prays shit will not happen in his church.

Attacks on churches date all the way back to colonial times and for the same reason: a bunch of people gathered at one place at a fixed hour makes killing easier.

Any church that knows what it is doing, will have a minimum of armed security for more than just the threat of a nutjob intending to do a mass shooting. This is an old episode of The Pro Arms Podcast that is very illuminating. Listen to it and learn what to ask your pastor/priest/rabbi/etc.

PS: No, I ain’t back. Just giving common sense advice.

I went to get a haircut.  Like a lot of places now, the haircuttery has free Wi-Fi for its customers.   This is for checking the news or something, not streaming your favorite Netflix show.  Don’t be the guy who is eating up all the bandwidth for the other customers who just want to check their email.

So high school jackhole has his laptop and wants to watch Netflix.  He is bitching about how slow his Internet connection is and his video is lagging.

He keeps bothering the girl behind the counter about it, all she’s there to do is welcome clients and take payment.

I had to interrupt this travesty.

Me: “What browser are you using.”

Kid: “Google chrome.”

Me: “Have you updated the oil in your search engine lately?  That can make it run slow.”

Kid: “Um… no.”

Me: “Under settings you can look up the milage on your search engine.   If it’s over 5,000 you need to update.”

Kid: “So download the oil update.”

Me: “You might be able to download it, but usually you have to get it on USB.  Make sure it’s good for right hand drive systems, that’s standard in the US.  Check Amazon.com.”

He sits down and I get called for my haircut.  

I don’t tolerate boorish teenage stupidity well.

“But first we need to ask permission from the government.”

Huh?

I know SWAT stands for Special Weapons and Tactics and that is the real name of the show, but after watching the first episode, I had to rename it.

Based in the 1970’s series which I was a fan, the new version is as unreal and even insulting to not only the viewers but to LAPD in general. The department’s demographics is portrayed as mostly white male with a tendency if not being a member of the KKK, pretty close to White Supremacist. And if we want to follow the LAPD’s demographics, half the cast should be Latino, but it is not so they are failing already in their SJWAT.

One of the negative things the old series had was that about half the bad guys were returning Vietnam Veterans. The Liberal consensus back in the day was that all Vietnam Vets were either crazy or about to snap and take a bus full of handicapped children if a meeting with the President was not forthcoming or a plane with a million dollars was ready for them to retire in Cuba.  I am sad to say that SJWAT went back to the old scripts and offer us in the first show a band of Veterans ready to create mayhem and revolution.

There are a boatload of things so out of touch with reality, it is not even funny: A cop gets fired without following procedure in less than four hours, SJWAT is not only a door kicking organization, but an investigative one plus this new one will now do full on community relations.  And this particular team must have Star Trek’s Transporter Room available because when they call for them, they are on scene within 30 seconds and even ahead of the bad guys no matter if they are across town. But the one that took the cake? The weapon’s blue laser. Not a red laser, not the green laser but blue laser, Holy shit! They are super advanced!. I was informed by a hardcore follower of G.I. Joe that only Cobra minions use the blue laser in their weapons, so I expect this SJWAT to go “Hail Cobra!” in the next two episodes.

I usually give a new show two or three episodes before I render a decision. No need with SJWAT as I rather use my DVR space to record reruns of Parking Wars.

PS: I suspect there is a lot (and I mean a lot) wrong with the tactics part of the show, but I will rather concede the floor to people who know rather than be as bad as the writers, producers and director and come u with bullshit because it looks pretty.

At least in one type of animal: The Possum.

No, I don’t care how many ticks and crap they eat. They carry fleas and all kinds of sick shit.

And they are aggressive and ugly. Nuke from orbit…

If you see one movie today….
