Memorial Day 2013

It is Monday and a holiday….Memorial Day….I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my followers and participants that are veterans…..thank you for your service to the country!

Today’s post will be short and sweet……since readership is down a bit on holidays…..I try not to bore you guys to death with my political wonk ramblings…..

I will take the day to spend with family and friends…….fire up the grill and enjoy your day…I will back Tuesday just as opinionated as ever and as stubborn as ever…….

All enjoy family, fun and food….see you tomorrow!

Enjoy Your 4th

Today all across the country friends and family will be coming together to celebrate the Declaration of Independence….that is what the MSM will be saying….but in reality it is about a day off, cool beer and food……so enjoy yourselves and try to relax….tomorrow we will be back to the sickness that is our political system…….

I intended to write a post on some historical thingy but figure…..why?  Readership is down this Summer and besides….it is a holiday and who wants to have to think about things seriously?

I sincerely wish everyone a good and relaxing day………..Enjoy your fun, food and family!

Getting Into The Christmas Spirit

It is Christmas Eve and I would like to report on usual ways to get into the spirit of the holiday…..to some its family, others it is about the partying and others it is the shopping that puts them into the spirit….but I have found one that takes the cake…..

Competition has spiked among retailers this holiday season, and the sex industry is no exception. A Texas escort is trying to beat the competition by offering discounts to charitable customers who are willing to help needy children.

The escort, a 37-year-old from Houston who goes by “Shelby,” recently began marketing herself online as “Santa’s Little Helper.”

Shelby is competing for the attention of holiday Johns by advertising a pre-Christmas “Toys for Tots Special” to convince consumers to open their wallets for a “sensual” experience.

A review of her services by a John named “Wolfhunter” states that she charged him $200 an hour for a “pathway to utter euphoria and bliss.” With the “Toys for Tots Special,” this man would be entitled to double the bang for his buck.

Shelby also promised to “captivate your mind, and tantalize your senses,” and dared customers to “Try and Put My Fire Out!”

Shelby’s idea is not as innovative as it might seem. In fact, a similar ad was posted to an escort Website in December 2007. The ad ran under the headline “Santa’s Little Helper,” and stated, “This month, I am donating one unwrapped toy to Chicagoland Toys for Tots for every client I see.” The poster used the name Cadence. The profile has since been deleted, so it is unclear whether Shelby took a clue from the Chicago ad or whether she is somehow connected to Cadence.

Now the kids win, the “john” wins and the escort wins….what could be a better Christmas story that that?  Pop a smile on Santa’s face!

On Thanksgiving Day

Today is turkey day and we all deserve a day of calm and reflection….so I will begin….I want to first thank all my readers for their diligence and patience and all their fine comments that keeps the conversation moving forward….we can make a difference…it just may not be overnight….but if we continue on we will make the difference that we all desire…..and thanks for all you who have started reading the newspaper The Daily Agitator…hopefully it will only get better with your help……

Hopefully today will be a down day for us political junkies….but we know that idiots are seldom silent….maybe with a turkey bone lodged in their throat they will spend more time with their mouths shut….we can hope!

Please enjoy your days of fun, family, football, food and for some of you shopping….and we will continue our conversations…….

Thank you, my friends your participation in Info Ink is much appreciated….

The Decade After

Unlike the morning after….when you either walk the slut walk or go running hysterically for the drug store looking for that magic pill or the quick trip to the local clinic for that shot for “just in case”….I will look at the last decade…..

Today is the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks by those damnable extremists of AQ….it is also  Patriot Day….and every adult knows what happened on 11 September 2001…..a day of infamy or a day of sorrow or a day of ….well you fill in the blank with what you think it was to the psyche of the American people…..but let us look at what has really happened a decade later….and please take the time to remember those that have lost their lives because of the cowardly attacks on the US……..

We, Americans, are engaged in seemingly endless wars….with more being promised by the events unfolding…..We are at a loss of civil liberties like freedom of association, freedom of travel….profiling……our actions in areas Not really involved in the attacks on 9/11 have made the world a less safe place…..gave rise to Iran as a world player in the Middle East and the world….and have given marginalized extremists a reason to move to the forefront…..and become the face of Islam.  We allowed some of our freedoms to be taken from us because of fear….we may NEVER see them returned to us….EVER!

All in all, the attacks, which proved our vulnerability and our reactions after the fact have made the US no more safer than it was on 9/9…..and little we have done as a country after the fact have done anything to make us a safer place to live……

Please understand that I am NOT trying to take anything away from the suffering, the death and the agony that the attacks inflicted on our country and it people…….I just want people to understand what has happened because of the fear and anger that the attacks foisted on us…….
