When being trolled, it's always a good idea to take a look around the room and notice who is NOT there.
Now, that might seem like a tall order and a lot of head-counting but, it's not. These people tend to roam in packs- cliques, if you will- and it's pretty easy to match up who is who. They don't put a lot of thought into it. So, if a Ferrerman tweaks a BillyR and the next thing ya know a rabid troll is going crazy with alleged Ferrerman PI, isn't it odd when BillyR doesn't make a sound?
Odder still, his imaginary twin sister, Nancy Teller Denton, does. To be fair to Nancy, she did sorta kinda try to stop him. She told him he was "better than this". Turns out he wasn't! Who knew?!
He put up a Facebook picture of me and Hall Of Famer, Ernie Banks. Mr. Cub and Mr. Ferrerman are in different Halls Of Fame together, if you're scoring at home. It was a profile pic I used for awhile on Facebook. The asshole troll did this via Photobucket. Here's another Troll-fighting Tip: Hit the report abuse icon and the pic goes away! This action will piss the troll off but, LIFE pisses the troll off so, there's that.
I reported the pic to Photobucket and they informed me it wasn't a registered user. It was just some idiot who posted the same pic several times, wondering why it kept going away....
To their credit, Topix banned the offending IP but, they admitted that was all they can do. He was going to do it again...
Well, we all knew that. Flustrated by the pic being pickled, he went and posted some personal misinformation. Close but, no cigar. It's the thought that counts though.
Google is your friend. I googled some non-friends and found the home addresses and phone numbers of Dean Davis and James Denton. These guys are friends of my stalker. Might even be my stalker. Who knows?
And well, who cares? One lives in Ravena, NY and one lives in Hardinsburg, Kentucky. Big deal. I could be wrong about that, right? Do you believe everything you read on the internet? Should you? Marie Henson claims to have killed a guy. But, Marie Henson also believes that anybody with an Illinois ISP IS Ferrerman. She has no concept of proxy servers even though most all her friends use them. So, how reliable about anything is Marie Henson? I'd have to say, not very! There's a lot of Marie Henson's BTW. Not just in Indiana either. So, ya know, who knows?
Anyway, you look around the room and you notice who's missing. Then they show up like nothing happened....
Typical.

The Chicks are not right
Ask a simple question....
Per my post the other day about sin taxes, I posed the question of tea party interest/noninterest to the mistresses of a Facebook site called: Chicks On The Right.
Remember a few weeks ago when some guy organized a trucker drive on Washington? I think it was called "The Million Trucker March" or some nonsense. A few hundred trucks might have made the occasion. Nowhere near one million. Well, the Chicks put up a photo on their page that showed a couple hundred trucks making a mess of traffic and headlined it as one of those events that the lame stream media doesn't want YOU to know about.
Well, the problem was, the photo in question was an aerial shot of an ITALIAN TRUCK STRIKE FROM 2008, not an anti-Obama trucker fiasco in 2013. Oops!
So, I posted on their wall asking if they had put that pic up. "Nope", they responded. One of their fans also replied that, simply responding "nope" was the time-honored response to trolls, when they ask trollish questions. And then the conversation went south from there.
I had caught them with their pants down. I think you dedicated non-readers know what happens when a Ferrerman catches a lady with her pants down. For you new non-readers, what happens is spankings! Sometimes literal but, usually just political. Dammit.
Anyways, what ensued was the usual back and forth one would find when engaging 'tards in political battle on Topix. Same shit, different venue. The internet is full of reichwingers.
The Chicks site is the usual vitriolic anti-Obama fluff you can find anywhere. For example, there was a "you'll only see it here" story about some dumbass 19 year old who was plotting to lose his gay virginity in public and call it "art". Some foolishness like that.
The Chicks think one in a row is a trend and and cited this as yet another reason why the country was going to hell under Obama. Their fans agreed!
For all I know, the gay virgin artist story is as true as their trucker strike lie so, I was rolling the dice. I thought I'd pose my question about the laziness of sin taxes and get an actual answer as to why the various tea parties never mention these taxes as being abusive or even wrong. It's probably because not too many 2 percenters smoke so, the tax means nothing to them. It's for little people. But, I was curious as to why this never comes up. It's my contention that the taxes that are killing folks are local and state wide rather than Federal. Sales, property, license plates, etc. etc. are always going up. There's no deductions for them. No credits. You have to pay. Yet you never hear the various tea parties scream about that. I think it's because there is no black democrat in charge of those taxes. I mean, in many parts of the country the tax on a pack of cigarettes exceeds the price of the product. Whether you smoke or not, the severity of the tax should piss you off, at least a little. First they came for the smokers but, I was not a Marlboro man....
So, I think I asked them if they knew of any sites that were political since they seemed to be more interested in the usual anti-Obama fluff n' stuff rather than political shit like taxes. They had distanced themselves from the various tea parties, as well. There are so many, you'd think they'd like at least one. They just claim to be "conservative". Oh and all their posts are anti-Obama and anti-liberal. But, they're not political...
BTW, I checked and they aren't satire. You have to do that these days when the likes of Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann spout off things that make the writers at The Onion say, "Why didn't we think of that??!!"
So, the Chicks fired me. I can no longer comment on their site. I can look but, I can't touch.
I don't blame them. Who needs someone mucking up their site with politics? It's their right to keep it politics free!

The singer, not the song
There are just some people that simply do not like anything Barack Obama says or does. It's nothing personal. They are just more astute than anyone else is and are therefore able to readily recognize that everything he says and does actually IS wrong and WILL lead to the total destruction of America as we know it. It's nothing personal and it certainly isn't racist because, they don't feel that way about all niggers, just him.
Really now, how could everything a president says or does be wrong? What are the odds?
Honestly, in the threads Ferrerman was getting the same treatment. I was was always "clueless, nuts and spam" no matter what I posted! Imagine that! What are the odds?
I noticed that not all democrat posters were treated that way. I always was though. So, of course, it had nothing to do with the quality of my posts. It was just cheap, anti-Ferrerman sentiment. A couple of people- for their own psychotic reasons- had chosen to dedicate their lives to putting negative icons on every post Ferrerman- or a suspected Ferrerman- makes on Topix!
Well, we already knew that. DUH.
The thing is, anti-Obama sentiment is the same as anti-Ferrerman sentiment. It's all hated-based and nothing else. In my case and in Obama's, politics is used to justify hatred for an individual. This is weak. It's not to be respected or feared. When opinions are hate-based, they cease to be opinions. They are merely vulgar expressions of fear. Atticus Finch would not debate a rabid dog.
If it wasn't so generic and perfunctory, it might be taken more seriously. What a surprise that a teabagger is against something Obama wants to do! What a surprise that a teabagger is against Ferrerman saying "hey" to an attractive, blonde, English chick! The bastard! I don't know if that post even got iconned. It was pulled, literally inside of five minutes. It's hard out there for a Ferrerman when one of your trolls is a Topix mod. Just sayin'....
So, it's hard to take Obama detractors or Ferrerman detractors seriously. It's interesting that they tend to be cut from the same soiled cloth of misplaced patriotism.
One of the reasons I retired Ferrerman from Topix was, there was barely anything resembling polite, political discourse. No matter what brilliant insight I posted, it was captured in reply by various socks calling me names. I would rarely post to these miscreants anyway but, they'd see "Ferrerman" on the index and swarm like flies to honey. Whether it was one person with 50 *personalities* or five with fifty, theirs is an exercise in futility. They need to hate. And Topix needs the clicks. It's a match made somewhere south of Heaven. I don't think we ever have to worry about these haters getting better, in thought or deed.

Not Taxed Enough Apparently
The various tea parties, if they wanted the backing of a Ferrerman, would do well to address the ridiculous taxation of cigarettes, particularly in Chicago, that hotbed of Black, community activists who go on to become President Of The United States. It would seem to be right in their wheelhouse because the "TEA" in Tea Party allegedly means: Taxed Enough Already.
Sin taxes are the epitome of lazy government. Raising taxes on cigarettes or alcohol is phoning in government. They are barely giving a nod to the heroic "saving of lives..." anymore. You think cigarettes kill? You want to save the lives of men, women and children? MAKE CIGARETTES ILLEGAL. How can you tax/profit off of something that kills people? (Well, see: guns & ammo but, story for another day! Could you imagine the uproar if ammunition was taxed like smokes!)
Why pussyfoot around with saving lives lip service by allowing a product that people evidently like and want, when it kills people? Why are cigarettes so dangerous that they can only be battled via taxes? Why aren't cities and states legalizing crack, meth and heroin and taxing those things to save lives? And, uh, make a few bucks....
Mayor Rahm Emmanuel wants to raise the city tax on a pack of smokes $.75 making the total tax on a pack $7.42. That includes state, federal, county and city taxes. So, with cigarette company costs/profits, and the store's markup- you are paying @$11.59 for a pack of Marlboros? Most of your expenditure for that tar and nicotine pleasure goes, not to Liggett Myers but, to various governments that want you to quit....for your own good...
I guess they want you to quit so they can tax something else?
The government never- EVER- says that not enough people are quitting smoking so, because of that failure of the people, government is forced to raise the cigarette tax- AGAIN- to encourage people quit....
They never say that. Actually, people quitting is part of the reason they meed to raise the tax. There's some yada-yada in there about health related costs but, they barely go through the motions about that because, the money doesn't go to healthcare. It goes to running the broke-ass cities and states. Except for millionaires, when do taxes ever go down? If a city or state is used to getting income from something, they budget for that. If income goes down because more people stop using the taxed product, that money has to be made up somewhere. They either also tax something else and/or they raise the tax on that product.
With cigarettes and other sin taxes, it's a no-brainer. No one speaks for the smokers and the drinkers who get taxed every time they turn around. Having no voice themselves, they just roll with it. Or roll their own....
Golly! If only there were a political group- focused on unfair taxation- to speak for these disenfranchised folk! If only...
Apparently, the Koch brothers don't smoke. They founded and fund some of the tea parties. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking: They are billionaires- they can well afford to smoke! They probably quit when they were millionaires and, with the money saved, became billionaires.
Yet they are against taxes. It's just that one of the most egregious taxes of all goes unnoticed by them for some reason. Mind you, this is not a Chicago or Illinois thing. Prices and taxes vary. That same pack of Marlboros will cost about $5 in Kentucky, the lowest of the 48 contiguous states and, a tobacco growing state. Less that ten years ago I did some work outside Louisville and paid $2 a pack. Even the tobacco friendly states are getting in on the gravy train of saving lives through taxation.
This is why I cannot take the tea parties seriously. Fighting to keep the super rich from being taxed "too much"(?!) but completely ignoring the near-sodomizing tax of the poor and working class because they smoke? By default they must think the sin taxes are just and fair. I'm certain some smoke and must be aware of the taxes. They simply must not care. I wonder what they might tax if they were ever to gain control of government? My guess is, anything but wealth.

Kids say the darnedest things
http://lotoflaughters.com/the-13-creepiest-things-a-child-has-ever-said-to-a-parent/
Yikes! Creepy indeed. Some of these were very frightening.
Here's some more:
http://www.rosehope.com/weird-stuff-about-kids-round-two/
I found the latter researching the former. I'm more intrigued about the kids speaking matter-a-factly about past lives that saying weird stuff. A lot of people and some cultures believe in reincarnation and the recycling of lives. I've always kinda leaned towards it myself. Of course, that's because I taught reincarnation in a previous life, in Salem, Massachusetts before I was burned at the stake for heresy... As far as I know, I made that up because I'm a damn Ferrerman after all. Still, I do have a distinct fear of fires and will not step into them EVER. So, ya know?
The kids in question here all seem very young, like 2-4 years old, rather that precocious eight year old's displaying their imagination. It seems like they just blurt this out and do not speak of it again. You may have done it at that age. What do you really remember since before you were about five? It is around that age that our earliest clear memories are usually formed.
We're not talking false memories here like folks might have as adults after years of television, movies and reading books. If I feel like I was a cowboy in a past life, it's probably because of TV and movies and that, I wish I were a cowboy. If a three year old remembers being a Viking and executing someone...you might want to listen. How much TV have they seen at that age- without you?
I'm not sure what the method to the madness is here. By that I mean, life. Is the point to serve God, worship him and get to heaven? And if you don't do that, spend eternity in Hell? Kinda doubt it. Are 1.5 billion Chinese really going to hell because they are not Christian? I've heard that. Your actual results may vary, depending upon religion. With so many non-Christians in the world for so many years, I think even a God would have given up long ago.
But, perhaps there is a God and he's far less needy and far deeper than portrayed. What if we are deeper than portrayed? Why not recycle souls for the purpose of education or redemption- even punishment?
What's the method to the madness with reincarnation? I don't know. I doubt anyone ever will. The little baby you might be holding in your arms today might know a bit about where he's been and he may even be trying to tell you but, it could be that he's entering a new world and leaving behind his old and that where he's been is not as important as where he is now. I'm wondering if this is always kept in the family lineage. Can a blonde haired, blue-eyed Swede in Stockholm have been a Masai warrior? Vice versa? Anecdotaly, people who have *died* and *come back* have reported the bright light and being greeted by a deceased relative and told that it's not their time. Heaven? Maybe. Sorta. Could be sort of a waiting room. Eternity lasts a long time. There are a lot of places to go and a lot of people to get there.

When you're a proctologist...
A 12 year old girl, bullied by classmates, leapt to her death from a three story cement plant structure. One of her tormentors wrote on her Facebook page: " 'Yes ik (I know) I bullied REBECCA nd (and) she killed her self but IDGAF (I dont give a f---)." Keep an eye on that kid- she may be running for Congress soon.
More than likely though, she'll just age and comment on Topix and elsewhere on the internet, along with the other assholes. She's in the farm system now...learning....
Topix aside, if you've ever been on any site where people are welcome to comment, you already realize that there are a lot of assholes out there. It's not like Topix where there are just several dozen assholes on any given forum. Most any news site or political site gets far more traffic than a Topix Forum and none of it is posters are saying "hello" to each other or have mods posting about their lunch.
There are some seriously deranged people out there and, I'm not going to lie to you- 99% of these assholes are teaparty/republicans. The little bitch that gave her classmate the verbal shove off of the cement tower- and bragged about it- is never going to reconcile her adult self supporting any sort of benefits for under-privileged folks.
If the various tea parties stand for anything it's that it's OK to be an asshole, as long as you wrap yourself in the flag. Just feel free to hate everything and everybody as long as it smacks of "liberalism". I'm sure that on some sites- right now- people are posting that the dead child was "weak", "surely a liberal", or (from an intellectual) "a product of a soft, liberal society where every child gets a trophy so that their widdle feewings don't get hurt..."
It hardly matters what the subject is. Liberals are to blame for everything. They're the ones that think the Washington Redskins is offense to Native Americans. I looked at a site earlier that had the Redskins flag, alongside the Confederate battle flag and the Nazi flag. This was on a conservative site mind you. They weren't complaining that the Redskins football team was unfairly being lumped (somehow) with those two, mind you. They were putting it on an equal footing with the others. Think I'm kidding? Have you seen the Confederate flags at rightwing political events lately. You don't usually see Nazi flags but....you do... Two conservative chicks equate it with the stars and bars. I didn't see any cons complain...
And you never see Confederate or Nazi flags displayed at democrat events. Libs are so closed-minded!
Our children are not mentally progressing. How can they? We aren't either. We have an entire political party dedicated to denying people things because they don't like them. They say certain Americans are losers and don't deserve things that others have. They are not only talking bad about these losers among us on the internet, they are at times, getting physical with the losers, up to and including killing them. See: Trayvon Martin. See the backlash about his death and how unfair it was to the guy who murdered him....
There are 300+ million people in America. Untold millions of them are fucking assholes. They vote for assholes who will promote their asshole agenda. And they have little problem letting the nation know their evil ways.
I don't want those losers at my lunch table!
More than likely though, she'll just age and comment on Topix and elsewhere on the internet, along with the other assholes. She's in the farm system now...learning....

The little bitch that gave her classmate the verbal shove off of the cement tower- and bragged about it- is never going to reconcile her adult self supporting any sort of benefits for under-privileged folks.
If the various tea parties stand for anything it's that it's OK to be an asshole, as long as you wrap yourself in the flag. Just feel free to hate everything and everybody as long as it smacks of "liberalism". I'm sure that on some sites- right now- people are posting that the dead child was "weak", "surely a liberal", or (from an intellectual) "a product of a soft, liberal society where every child gets a trophy so that their widdle feewings don't get hurt..."
It hardly matters what the subject is. Liberals are to blame for everything. They're the ones that think the Washington Redskins is offense to Native Americans. I looked at a site earlier that had the Redskins flag, alongside the Confederate battle flag and the Nazi flag. This was on a conservative site mind you. They weren't complaining that the Redskins football team was unfairly being lumped (somehow) with those two, mind you. They were putting it on an equal footing with the others. Think I'm kidding? Have you seen the Confederate flags at rightwing political events lately. You don't usually see Nazi flags but....you do... Two conservative chicks equate it with the stars and bars. I didn't see any cons complain...
And you never see Confederate or Nazi flags displayed at democrat events. Libs are so closed-minded!
Our children are not mentally progressing. How can they? We aren't either. We have an entire political party dedicated to denying people things because they don't like them. They say certain Americans are losers and don't deserve things that others have. They are not only talking bad about these losers among us on the internet, they are at times, getting physical with the losers, up to and including killing them. See: Trayvon Martin. See the backlash about his death and how unfair it was to the guy who murdered him....
There are 300+ million people in America. Untold millions of them are fucking assholes. They vote for assholes who will promote their asshole agenda. And they have little problem letting the nation know their evil ways.
I don't want those losers at my lunch table!

"Ted"
There is a scene in the film, "DAVE", where Kevin Kline, who plays Dave (who is playing the President of the United States) is going through the Federal budget with his buddy, Murray (Charles Grodin) who is an accountant. Dave notices an expenditure of some ridiculous amount in a government program that, in his estimation, makes people 'feel good about the American car they already bought'. It's a waste of money.
Well, the teapublicans just blew TWENTY FOUR BILLION American dollars making the delusional fools who follow them feel good about the insane, anti-American activities they have been at since the very moment Barack Obama was elected President. That's a pretty hefty price for the rest of us to pay. In the fictional '93 film, tens of millions of people bought American cars that they already probably felt OK about. In the reality of 2013, only a few million people feel good about tea party tactics. It was a very expensive and unnecessary sermon to the choir.
Oh, I know that they believed they would gain some converts. They also believe Obama was born in Kenya and didn't go to college, as well as a thousand other easily checked tidbits about his life. I won't go through those because they are stupid. Suffice to say, they have been brought to us by the same folks who brought us the shutdown though. And that speaks volumes. Billions really.
For their time and our money, House teapublicans got nothing. None of their demands were met. The ACA (Obamacare) is still the law of the land and all the other demands they piled on in hopes of getting Obama to settle for something were not met either. They got nothing.
This was terrorism. Economic terrorism. Hostages and demands- just no gun play. The tea partiers like Cruz are simply terrorists who don't like the finality of airplanes. Al Queda surely took notice. One of their stated goals is the financial destruction of the US. 9/11 and a few terrorist attacks have caused the government to spend untold billions on anti-terrorism. They likely view that as a "victory". We view it as something to spend money on.
Our own House republicans shut down the government and nearly bankrupted the nation, something Al Queda could only dream of doing.
I'd like to know why. They've been acting like jilted lovers since Obama's first election. The GOP- the Grand Old Party- for a party that fancies itself the party of patriots, they haven't cleanly won an election since GH Bush waaaaaay back in the 20th century. This whole thing reeked of: "If I can't have her- no one will!" That's no way for a patriot to treat Lady Liberty.
Whether it's greedy Wall Street bankers orchestrating a recession for fun and profit, or a party in part of the legislative branch of the government trying to...do whatever they were trying to do, there is no greater threat to the US than us. We've got the right guy in charge. I'm just not so sure we've got the right country.
Ted Cruz, by the way, was born in Canada to a Cuban father who fought alongside Fidel Castro in the communist revolution in Cuba. True story. Ted just led the shutdown of the United States government. His followers believe our president is Kenyan and not qualified to serve as POTUS.
You can't make this shit up. If it were a movie, you'd walk out. It just wasn't worth $24 billion.
