I'm back...

Thank god, well it's good to be home. I have now blogged in DC and Albany NY as well as my basement at home ;). At the airport I saw Ryan Snadburg who was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY this weekend. I went up and shook his hand. Very cool, basic guy. The kind that didn't let fame go to his head. You got to respect those guys, they are so few and far between. As he was getting on the plane my dad noticed an old guy walking next to him and his wife. He figured out that it was Marv Levy! (I do realize that 60-70% of the people who read this will have no idea in hell who either of these people are) Marv was the Buffalo Bills coach who brought them to 4 straight Super Bowls in the early 90's. But he went 0-4 so that fact is kinda forgotten. Anyway, that's my day, I'll be back to the political grind tommorow.

Of course I know who Marv Levy is. He lost four straight Super Bowls, including one with James Lofton on his team (Lofton was my favorite NFL player until Favre came along).

As for Ryan Sandburg, he's the best 2nd basemen of my lifetime. The guy was amazing. No, I'm not a Cubbies fan, although I should be being born in Illinois (yeah, I know I'm supposed to be a Bears fan too. Screw the Bears. Except for Wallie, I can't stand them).

Ben, I would appreciate it that you didn't come over to my blog and post your hysterical, puesdo facist comments that expose the deep set ignorance that makes up your politcal faith.

Especially cheap digs at the London bombings which I noted deserved not a mention in your blog but rather goes to reflect your utterly isolationist mantra.

Your bizarre obsession with Mecca (read: racial hatred), China (read: their approach to our free market rules upsets me because they do it cheaper), PC (read: I am mean spirited) and Liberals (read: I am mean spirited even more) used to make for funny reading for I get the sense that deep inside you are a fragile and angry young man looking for someone to blame for what you see are the failings around you.

Stop laying blame and start looking for a positive way forward.

Just returning the favor Danielle

Danielle is now officially the world's biggest fucking idiot. Goes to show she can dish but can't take.

As a failed actress, she rants and raves about how much America is evil (despite the fact that her country's doing the same thing), yet when someone criticizes some of her country's policies, she has a hissy fit. Of course she's in denial that it was her country's policies that got us in this mess in the first place. They drew the borders. We're just stuck picking up the pieces, since England is too broke to be relevant anymore. The sun never sets on the English empire. Right.

See, this is why I hate people with too much time on their hands. When people work, they get things done, and they can appreciate all their country has to offer (like you and me, Ben. We both love America). When they sit around waiting for auditions, they blame the world for their failures because they cannot admit they don't have the talent to succeed.

So, she hates Turks, yet accuses everyone she disagrees with of being racist, or a bigot. See in America, we're a melting pot. Most of us Americans have lots of ethnicities in us. You on the other hand are so inbred you have become disgustingly ugly. Do us a favor and take your mug down as well. Nobody likes looking at your pretentious smirk. You think you're smart but you're far from it. And you're about the most sheltered idiot out there. That's why you're always trying to prove shit. We see right through it.


Politicssuck - It's been ten years or so. I'm getting old and the memory's just not what it used to be. My brother does have his autograph though, do you? ;)

Ben - Sorry for the profanity on your blog. I've had enough of this hypocritical bitch though. She's ruining my beer buzz.

Daniel Hoffmann-Gill said...

Ah Zombieslayer! The coward who could not handle a different perspective on his blog.

Once again you use base insults, childish name calling and once again you provide me with all I need to know on your crass worldview and lack of social skills.

Some points:

Not failed thanks, cheap shot by a cheap man.
I've never said America is evil, you confuse someone disagreeing with you as someone thinking the US is evil. Typical. Debate means nothing to you.
The UK is trying to mimic the US style of leadership and it disgusts me, I'm more than able to knock my own nation and welcome (read carefully ZS and Ben) intlelligent, reasoned discourse.
Trying to blame the war on Iraq on the UK, your leader wants the oil there and he is willing to ,kill children for it. My leader is stupid enough to follow.
Too broke? You know as well as i do that the support of the UK has been crucial, we enable you to be taken seriously as your nations's leader is a joke. I'm ashamed my country stands by Bush and makes him look like he has value.
You also know that if Europe stood together we'd be a far greater 'nation'.
I do work, your dismissal of my job once again reflects your backwards mentality and restricted world view. You also know little about the work I've done in the past and the work I do with hard to help young people. Bask in your ignorance ZS as you do.
I don't hate Turks, one comment taken out of context, I used to work with Turkish Kurd asylum seekers for Godsake. Calling me a racist is a serious error you repulsive man, I've spent many years fighting for the rights of ethnic minorites.
Finally you dire example of American crassness and disgrace of a man, your immature and vulgar comments relating to my personal appearence show you for what you are.

A lonley man, mean spirited, angry at your impotence in a world that is passing you by.

Take care ZS, I will leave you and your other backward thinkers to the mess of anger, hatred and violence.

Ben said...

Danielle, we all know how well the socialist state of Europe would work... Besides like I said, the Islamofacists will soon take over your continent and you will be praying to Mecca 5 times a day. And please for the love of God, don't come crying to us when it happens. It's all your peoples fault for being agnostic. So have fun.

ZS- totally understandable, I like this side of you ;)

Ben said...

oh and Danielle, he has a wife and kid, how is that lonely?

The Zombieslayer said...

Danielle's idea of discourse is attack the person instead of ideas, and she calls everyone else immature. What a dunce.

And yes, she's a failed actress. That's why she has so much time on her hands.

I still say he's a product of overpopulation, but you're right: Too much time on his hands! Having a family to raise and support changes your whole perspective on the world.

The Zombieslayer said...

Tshsmom - Sorry I had to put you through that. The guy's been digging under my skin for quite some time. I really try to keep my cool and not swear, but kind of lost it there.

Yes, overpopulation makes people go nutty. Totally agree with you there. You stick people too close together, they get weird on you.

I get really defensive of this country too. Sure we're not perfect, but when people just spew hatred towards our country, I get really mad. I love this country like you wouldn't believe. This country has given us so much and I'm thankful for it. My father's ancestors came to America in the 1800s, but my mother is a legal immigrant. You want to see corruption, go to just about any third world country. Costa Rica, Belize, and Thailand have it together, but the rest of them, not at all. Sad thing is Ethiopia had it together until the civil war in the 70s. I'm so glad I live here.

Europe everyone's so close together they're whacked. They have no wilderness left except in parts of Scandanavia and Russia. Screw that. And it's becoming a saying here in Santa Barbara that when someone smells bad, they smell like a European. America rules!

Ben said...

Jesus Christ ZS no wonder were so much alike! My dad's side of the family has been in central/southern illinois since like the late 1700's/early 1800's and my mom's side immigrated only 2 generations ago (my recently deceased grandpa was the first one to be born here in the US). Yea, it's so amazing how lefties like danielle won't like the US until we become flat out socialists, and the reason they can't stand Bush is soley because he's not part of their world socialist agenda.

The Zombieslayer said...

Yeah. That's pretty funny. I consider myself a mid-westerner because everyone says I act like one. I'm kind of out of place here in the granola state (fruits, nuts, and flakes).

As for Bush, you know how I feel about him. But every once in awhile, he does something that makes me proud, like appoint Bolton to the U.N. So as mad as I am about Bush, I'm sure glad he's President right now and not Kerry.

Ben said...

ZS, this is getting old but I agree 100%
