Stuck On Stupid

Did I tell you folks that my new hero is Lt. Gen. Russel Honore. My sister (or my brother-in-law) sent me this neat link. about a press conference where the good general told some idiot reporters sumpin' they should have been told a long time ago, "Don't get stuck on stupid." Heh. Heh. Heh. Here's an excerpt.

Honore: You are stuck on stupid. I'm not going to answer that question. We are going to deal with Rita. This is public information that people are depending on the government to put out. This is the way we've got to do it. So please. I apologize to you, but let's talk about the future. Rita is happening. And right now, we need to get good, clean information out to the people that they can use. And we can have a conversation on the side about the past, in a couple of months.

Oh man! I just love this guy. He took over the press conference from Mayor Asshole and told the press what for.

I heard today that some blacks are complaining because there's too many white people volunteering for the Red Cross to help those left homeless by hurricane Katrina. Then that stupid fucking asshole calypso louie said the Red Cross is racist, and must be destroyed, and of course he had all his stooge niggers standing behind him shaking their obviously empty skulls in agreement saying "yes sir...", "yes sir...".

FYI, I'd love to see a break-down by race of which racial group is giving what to the Red Cross. I'd bet my mortgage that blacks are at the bottom of the list.

Posted by: Rob Cooper on September 20, 2005 10:28 PM

Rob - They are at the bottom of the list because demographically they are poorer. I would expect that. Of course, the reason demographically, they are poorer is a result of them following false messiahs like Calypso Louie, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton. And remember Calypso Louie thinks Bush blew up the levee and I'm sure there are a lot of nutjobs over at DU who agree.

Posted by: Denny on September 20, 2005 10:48 PM

I know that Denny, but since President Bush took office five years ago, as of last year, which are the last available statistics, only about 12.5% of blacks live below the poverty line (Less than when Clinton was President in his 5th year- it was 13.7% at this same time, but I digress), which means 87.5% are not considered poor (those people probably work for the gummint). Since there's about 13 million blacks in America, that means there's about 11.7 million who are not poor. Those are the ones I'd love to find out about. I think we'd all be extremely disappointed, but not at all surprised. Being that I live in a resort area, and know quite a few people who depend on tips- bartenders, waitpeople, valets, etc., they would rather serve people of any color other than black. Not because of racism, but most blacks are terrible tippers. We had the National Brotherhood of Skiers here at Copper Mountain a couple years ago, and all I heard was they won't tip, or were really cheap about tipping (10% tops, if that), and these obviously weren't poor people.


Pres. Bush's press secretary Scott McClellan should adopt Gen. Honore's line for all the idiotic questions he gets from the libs in the LSM- Just say "You're stuck on stupid...next question"

And, home ownership among Blacks is higher now than during Clinton admin.

Denny...I've watched General Honore. My kind of man.

Yesterday, WSJ front page article reported that 300,000 'Hispanics' from Mex and So. America fled New Orleans during Katrina. Most illegal and not eligible for aide or assistance. Latino network helped eight car caravan get jobs and housing in Nashville, TN. Others have spread out all over the country finding work and housing.

Setting the border situation and illegal immigration aside...I find it interesting these people don't need FEMA, RED CROSS or donations to provide for themselves.

How many did you see at the Superdome or lining up for handouts? Or bitching in front of TV cameras...or looting stores?

Proverty is a choice....


Posted by: Vicki on September 21, 2005 12:31 AM

Exactly, poverty is a choice. The best thing we can do for these people is to leave them alone, give them nothing. I really don't think hey'd starve to death like the dems would like you to beleive. they would ralize that they have to work.

Posted by: losiguy on September 21, 2005 12:52 AM

Work?????? losiguy, do you *really* think they can work? Let's see what skills we have here:
- making babies
- speaking the gibberish called ebonics
- demanding respect for remembering to breathe, not for doing anything....
- being willing to kill because they have been 'disrespected'

What skills DON'T we have here:
- showing up on time
- doing a good job because you take pride in your work
- doing what you are told to do because your boss really *does* know more than you.

I don't think they will ever be able to work until they shake off the 'doing well is Acting White' culture the RWPPs have inflicted on them with the help of the MSM.

In Dallas there have been a lot of news stories about local Black churches and some mostly Black schools helping refugees find homes. These efforts have done pretty well. Very few stories about the refugees themselves tho, I don't know why.

I wonder if the Black groups would help other than Black, may find out if Rita hits Texas hard. We are gearing up here, but a lot of our assets(Red Cross/Salv Army, Natl Guard, power companies) have expended much of their abilities on Katrina, in LA and on refugees in Texas. Our Governor and State and local officials already making plans. If Texas is hit hard I guarantee we will have more like Gen Honore and none of the Nagin/Blanco crap. Houston has a large Black population, but not like New Orleans.

If Rita hits hard many character factors in Texas are different from NO and La. Also, we are generally very well armed here and the police will not desert.

I saw that Lt. Gen Honore on the T-vee awhile back, he is one cool dude indeed...I liked him then, I like him better now.

Posted by: lisakay on September 21, 2005 06:19 AM

Those stories about the "guests" as the media now calls them, in Dallas...did you like the one about the woman who opened up her home to stranges, only to have them trash it and steal everything (washer, dryer, dishwasher, etc) that wasn't nailed down? I doubt she thinks that went pretty well.

How about the guy who raped the teenage daughter of the family he was staying with? Or the career criminal who attempted the same with a 14 year old in Fort Worth? Or the 15 year old who brought a loaded gun to school earlier this week? (those FEMA debit cards worked great!) O

h yeah, and what about the "guests" in the Red Cross shelter bitching about the food, cause they aren't all hot meals?! Damn white racist Red Cross makin us eat cold cuts, where's all the steaks Mayor Nagger told us we'd be gettin'?

Yeah, things are going swimmingly in the Dallas area with our "guests" .

Roger, in honor of Denny, I call you an Asshat! I guess you figure Andy is lying, or does the truth just hurt too much?

Posted by: Anastasia on September 21, 2005 09:06 AM

Damn, but this blog is starting to attract some wacko commentors. Where did the Addisons go? Denny, I hope you don't allow this type of spew to gain traction here.

Posted by: marcel on September 21, 2005 09:21 AM

Rob Cooper is actually right, Prosper. Blacks are lousy tippers. So are Mexicans. Many of the white folks will do/say anything it takes to try and scam a free meal. Not to mention they treat their waiters like dogshit. Teenagers leave shitty tips too, and are prone to doing the old "Dine and Dash" trick. My wife got to experience all of that firsthand working in a Mexican restaurant.

In the Houston area, the refugees are being passed on to Oklahoma and Arkansas. The Astrodome is now empty, and the Reliant Center and George R. Brown Convention Center are being vacated. With Rita bearing down on this section of the state, we may have need of those facilities soon. Plus I think if they were still around when Rita hit and started pulling the same shit they did in Nawlins, the citizens here would put a stop to it. Like TomR said, they're well armed. I figger if the cops don't get them, the locals would.

Working for a local law enforcement agency and being about 2 blocks from the Astrodome, we get regular updates about the crime rates in the surrounding area from HPD and Harris County Sheriff. Surprisingly enough, the amount of PI's increased but the major crime (rape, robbery, etc.) did not increase much at all. We had a few knuckleheads try knocking off some local businesses when they first got here, but were apprehended almost immediately. HPD increased patrols between 6pm and 6am to try to thwart any wrongdoings by our "guests" during the wee hours. Overall I'd say they've behaved themselves, but I don't think the city officials want to press their luck for too long.

In a related story to General Honore's statement of truth about the TSM, it seems that the NYT is going to have layoffs. http://www.wnbc.com/money/4998266/detail.html

It seems that a lot of people now feel that the NYT has been "Stuck on Stupid" for far too long and aren't subscribing anymore.

So to all those being laid off, in the words of that great story fabricator, Dan Rather ..... "Courage".

Posted by: Vicki on September 21, 2005 12:09 PM

Yeah. Of course: The regular size for an American woman is XXXXL. I got plenty of those! Hope it's ok for you.

Posted by: roger on September 21, 2005 12:22 PM

Prosper, honestly, you're actually too stupid to be french, which is saying a lot. You can call me KKKooper all you want asswipe, but as usual, you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Everything I said is true, whether or not you want to believe it, not that I care. Why don't you worry about all your problems in Europe, because you douchebags have way more than we do, and stop posting things you know nothing about. You can't learn what goes on here by reading FRENCH newspapers, or any newspapers or TV shows. Most of us posting here have lived here all are lives and have seen what goes on for decades. While it might be politically incorrect to tell the truth, who cares? That's one of Denny's goals at GOC.com. So do us all a favor- STFU! If you knew what you were talking about, it would be one thing, but you do not.

Marcel - Addison has a new job and is very busy. Don't know about Addison (the other one). I also don't know what happened to xCavTrooper. I've attracted a lot more French folks to this site. Pierce is OK and Prosper seems to be following the rules now. You're right, though. Some of you folks need to just calm down. Let me do most of the ranting, altho' it is OK to bitchslap the occasional troll. If a person's initial post contains an insult, that person is fair game. If the liberals like Teresa are nice and polite, why don't y'all be nice and polite to her. It's called courtesy.

Posted by: Denny on September 21, 2005 12:33 PM

Did somebody light off the Addison-signal?

Wicked, naughty Zoot!

Posted by: Addison (the other one) on September 21, 2005 01:19 PM

Here Prosper, read this- It's from today's London Daily Telegraph: Though French law prohibits the census from any reference to ethnic background or religion, many demographers estimate that as much as 20 [to] 30 percent of the population under 25 is now Muslim. ...
"Given current birthrates, it is not impossible that in 25 years France will have a Muslim majority. The consequences are dynamic: Is it possible that secular France might become an Islamic state?.
Go solve this problem, then you can help us with ours, once you learn what they actually are.

Posted by: Rob Cooper on September 21, 2005 01:40 PM

Addison (the other one) - Comments are getting very rowdy and Marcel has been missing your reasoned discourse.

Posted by: Denny on September 21, 2005 01:44 PM

Hey Andy, what I read was the guy who cleaned out the lady's house turned out to be from Lewisville,a Dallas suburb, posing as a refugee. And the media said the kid with the gun was also local. One of the rapists was positively a refugee. Our local Red Cross folks were shown on the news being verbally abused in Lafayette, La. trying to help the early refugees(Black)who left in their own autos.

The point of my comment was to show that there has been both good and bad out of the Black aspect of Katrina. And that I expect fewer of the problems to occur here in Texas because the character of the people is different and we will function better at all levels, like Mississippi. Yeah, that is because there are far fewer Blacks proportionately, but that is not meant to be a racist statement as much as a statement of fact. I was pointing out that Black groups here in Dallas actually helped refugees without leaving them only to gubmint programs.

It is a confusing situation made worse by race baiters both Black and White and the equally screwed up Liberal apologists who claim the Blacks are strictly victims and therefore are not responsible for their own problems and sorry ass lifestyle and attitude.

All hurricanes are racist pigs. That's why we don't have any hurricanes in Seattle because we have a mostly caucasion and asian demographic, although one must wonder why we haven't attracted any typhoons. uhh..huh-huh

Just contributing to some of the lunacy here. ;)

Posted by: Paul on September 21, 2005 05:39 PM

Had the opportunity to work in a predominantly poor black neighborhood today, helping a friend with a rental. As I was backing out his driveway, a woman dashed up and screamed STOP! Thinking I had nearly hit something, I complied. She wanted to bum some smokes, but since I don't smoke, she then wanted to borrow a dollar and get a ride to the store. I turned her down.
My own neighborhood is over 50% black, butI have never seen anyone so brazen as to stop cars and ask for smokes or money. Dave said that people walk in sevral times a day and want to borrow money.

Posted by: Jeremy on September 21, 2005 08:03 PM

TomR

I agree that things here will not degenerate to the level of the degenerates of the Superdome.
#1. Our police force will not tuck tail and run when Rita hits this weekend.
#2. As you mentioned, a different mentality of the residents of all colors.
#3. A well armed populace that knows how to use a weapon for self defense. You won't see much looting going on in Texas, at least not for long.

Well, got to run down to the dry cleaners before they close and pick up my white hoods.

Andy, I just heard on the news that kid with the gun at school was a New Orleans refugee. I was wrong and have kicked my own butt( took three tries).

NEWS ITEM:

Wed Sep 21,10:51 PM ET

BATON ROUGE, La. - Police found cases of food, clothing and tools intended for hurricane victims at the home of the chief administrative officer for a New Orleans suburb, authorities said Wednesday.

Officers searched Cedric Floyd's home because of complaints that city workers were helping themselves to donations for hurricane victims. Floyd, who runs the day-to-day operations in the suburb of Kenner, was in charge of distributing the goods.

Police plan to seek a charge of committing an illegal act as a public official against Floyd, and more charges against other city workers are possible, police Capt. Steve Caraway said.

The donations filled a large pickup truck four times. "It was an awful lot of stuff," Caraway said.

The donated materials must be processed as evidence but eventually will be distributed to victims. "We have lots of families that are begging for these supplies," said Attorney General Charles Foti, whose office assisted in the investigation.

Attempts to reach Floyd were unsuccessful at home numbers listed under his name in Kenner. His office number went unanswered after business hours.

Holy crap! This comment thread is getting stuck on stupid! WTF? Where are all these trolls coming from. Oh that's right. France has 10% unemployment with excellent social benefits so these are parasites with nothing better to do than troll American blogs.

Posted by: Denny on September 22, 2005 04:37 PM

25% growth rate in muslims is not what it seems.

1. Prisons - Blacks don't want to be a part of the "white man's" religion.

2. Churches keep records of their parishoners, mosques do not.

3. Could be overrated cos they want to seem to have the same #s as the Jews.... Out of 300 million here legally, at the most.....6-7 million. We can handle it.

Just food for thought.

I also read Mexico is growing, senor. Better start upping your Pentecostal count, you're going to need it.

140 people died in the train bombings right before Spain's elections last year, and it scared them into being liberals. Some Frenchies must be working overtime to supply all these white flags. Oh well, it'll help France's double-digit unemployment...
