In order to graduate in December I have to submit a form to the offices at Rowan University by October 14th. Perhaps when the deadline passes I will just innocently shrug my shoulders and tell them New Jersey deadlines are meaningless. I doubt this will go to well.

“Hypocrisy”


For years since I started paying attention to the political world all republicans have been described as liars and only look out for the rich. There have been many examples to lead you to believe that people who think this are simply hypocrites.


One such example is in the garden state (soon to be renamed the Comcast Sate) with Torricelli backing out. The main reason for him dropping out of the race was that the Democratic Party could simply not get away with lying anymore. If he had not slipped in the polls, you can bet your right testicle his cronies would have had no problem with letting an openly corrupt man represent New Jersey. When they realized the race seemed over they put pressure on him to resign. Now even though the deadline has passed to submit your candidate it was ruled by the state yesterday that it was cool if they put up another candidate. The democrats are going to foot the bill for the new ballots, but what about all the Republican’s now useless literature with Torricelli’s name on it?

I guess its’ cool the race will be more interesting now( if the US courts allow it) , but is that a reason to over throw the law? Just because it would really suck to see a man run against someone who is not running. The democrats could have just been a real pain in the ass, and said write in the vote for our new candidate. This would most likely disgruntle poll workers, and turn into a disaster. Maybe they should just vote for none of the above, like Richard Pryor instructed in “Brewster’s’ Millions”

Most the people who moaned about the Florida debacle in the 2000 year are unlikely to tell you that the panel was mainly democrats, and two of them contributed to the “Torch’s” campaign. These same people think the Dubbya’s brother rigged the voting machines. This would have been a brilliant idea but it would have required a time machine. The machines were done in the same confusing fashion long before the 2000 election, but that’s another story.

Torricelli is a democrat so is supposed to be a people person right ? (Not to be confused with the Philadelphia Daily News: The People Paper) Well instead of apologizing to the people of New Jersey for being corrupt he told us several times how great he was and how many things he accomplished. Save it for the book “Torch”. I only hope the investigations continue.

Meanwhile in a speech not too far away, former vice president Al Gore spoke his mind. Gore’s tirade about Bush knowing about 9/11 is about as fresh as the latest Mathew Perry vehicle. Apparently, Gore thinks since Bush who was an owner of a baseball team and governor of Texas at the time should have acted on Bin Laden. Who ever was vice president during a time period when most the red flags were flown certainly should not have to do anything. Bush was in office for 6 months when America was attacked. No one ever mentions that. Or since Clinton thought that Americans were at such a risk, why he didn’t use one of his million dollar speeches to open everyone’s eyes about the looming threat. I look forward to Gore actually saying something new. I would like to know where the lock box is 2 years later. I m not saying Bush didn’t drop the ball he did.

I admit when republicans make gaffs like I did on here before. I do not even consider myself a republican. I certainly would not want to be a hypocrite. I know there is a great deal going on out there that I am ignorant to. I hate how when republicans over turn a law it is abuse of power, and when democrats do this (how is this not looking out for their own personal interests?) it’s a bunch of honest to goodness fellows fighting for the justice for all.

“Radio Head”


For those of you that don’t know nor care about Torricelli ( go to http://terminusblog.blogspot.com/ for additional comments) or like one person the Courier-Post interviewed in the after math of Tuesday’s events this blogs for you.

As I was driving to my internship this morning I heard some of the best talk radio I have heard in years. Tuned to the Y-100 morning show with Preston and Steve I heard a cute and sexy voice for their guest. I was surprised when I realized it wasn’t some Hollywood bimbo pitching a new movie. I was even more surprised when I heard the woman openly talk about what she did for a living.

The girl talked about how she would blow anyone for 20 bucks. So I’m not sure that this makes her a hooker technically, but obviously this is not legal. She hangs out in chat rooms for men to seek her out and makes a descent living. She services anyone that wants it. 20 bucks is all she charges.

She said she got into the business not for the money, but for the pure love of going down on a man. It is her passion and what she wants to do with her life. I am not sure what her guidance counselor had to say about this, but I bet when she left his office he had a smile on his face. Preston asked how many she has done in one night and she told him 20. She has to take 15 minute breaks, and downs lots of beer to make …the…er…. discharge go down smoother.

This interview went on for a good 20 minutes or so non-stop. She told about how she is does get checked for STDS a few times a year. She also spoke passionately how dedicated she is to give the best performance possible. Some of her clients are simply husbands’ whose wives no longer have any interest in that form of pleasure. Lots of them have girlfriends, but she doesn’t care. One time she got punched in the back of the head and almost thrown out of a car. She doesn’t care about meeting random people off the internet, because it is all about her work. She loves it.

One time she was having intercourse with her boyfriend (she is single now) in the middle of the Sea Side Heights boardwalk and got caught by a cop. She offered her services to the police officer in order to get them out of trouble. The cop declined, but let them go. What a good sport.

In the day in of over payed baseball players, and movie stars making crappy movies for millions of dollars it is uplifting to hear a story like this. A mere 20 bucks to make someone’s day, or even month. She spoke with such passion about her job that it made me wish I could find something I cared about that deeply. She even inspired a woman to call up and inquire about being her assistant. What an amazing and special indivual excuse me….I have…..something in my eye……..

"Torricelli Peaces Out !"

In a surprise move yesterday Robert Torricelli decided he would drop out of the Senate race. For those of you who don't read newspapers or are not currently in South Jersey (like Price who apparently has been an avid reader of Tucker's world) Torricelli got himself in a pickle.

He accepted money, suits, jewlery for his girlfriend and other presents from a Mr. Chang (what the heck is first name?) a wealthy businessmen and political operator. Common sense would say these gifts would result in political favors from the “The Torch”. But if you ask Torricelli about the gifts he will say, “what gifts??” and innocently shrug his shoulders. If he were innocent, why would he resign? Not to mention its in volition of the Sentate rules.

In the last few weeks, Torricelli has fallen behind republican candidate Douglas Forrester. Despite this many loyal democrats said they would vote for him not matter why to regain control of the house. The same democrats who accuse Republicans of always just looking out for their rich friends (little known fact the 2000 Census defined rich as anyone that makes as much or more than Dan K. Hemphill. It is true look it up!) The same democrats who call for campaign finance reform. The same people that are also witch hunting this type of corruption. The same liberals who want to see a two party system were willing to cast their vote just for someone who will look after their interests, no matter at what cost. The hypocrisy amazes me.

I’m not saying what Torricelli has done is the worst thing ever in the history of politics. I am not dumb enough to think it doesn’t happen more often than we hear about it. However, he was caught red handed and Mr. Chang now rots in jail. It would have been a disgrace to let the man win office (the blinded state of New Jersey likely would) with his dirty laundry out in the open. He even tried to fight a memo from being released to the public. A memo that put the final nail in his coffin. It would send a message, not only don’t we care if you break the rules, but we don’t care if we read about it in the paper everyday. Of course, this is important because it will likely swing the house in the republican favor, so I guess I can see why they are mad. In his press conference, he lied about what happened. Since his career’s over I would have liked to see him come clean He said he was sorry to Clinton. Clinton could have easily gotten away with this one.

Now the problem gets even messier. The law states that the democrats are way past their deadline to submit a new candidate for this election. It is a strange condition to a certain extent, but it is a law. The democrats will fight to over turn the law. Not to mention the fact that many people over seas from the Garden State have already voted via absentee ballets. They have already accused the Republicans over being vicious for bring up the law. Although, anyone who with a brain would have brought up this law. I might not even vote, cause I know nothing about the Republican candidate. If I don’t learn anything, than I won’t vote. I certainly don’t care what letter is next to a canidate’s name.If he was doing something illegal its not worth me missing Home Improvement reruns to wait in line and vote. Some people on the other hand will vote for anyone with a certain letter next to their name. Whether that candidate is Mickey Mouse or Negative Mickey Mouse.

“Boys and Girls

The chapter I am reading for my Social Problems class right now covers women and their inequality. It discusses several examples about women weren’t always allowed to vote and they get paid less for doing the same type of jobs.
It also discussed about that men are stronger women are physically stronger now than they were years ago. That’s nice in all, but men will always be the dominant gender physically when it comes to humans. Although I am certain many women could kick this Blog author’s butt.

If you remember in high school, the fastest runners were usually all guys. As I was running the track at Sterling (my old high school), today in a feeble attempt to get in shape it brought back memories of my gym days. I recalled how running may have been one of the only events I didn’t shy away from in gym.

I recalled many a times when it was “baseball” season that I’d pray for a Nor’easter so we would get to walk around and shoot baskets or play hockey with those Q-tip thingies. Most of the time during my “physical education” I spent learning that I was not a very good athlete. However by the time I realized that being moderately good at some sports you just have to practice and be brave about being bad at first the girls all sprouted breasts and gym became a social affair. I’m not sure hiding an erection when some hottie in front of you is stretching wearing insanely short shorts with a white t-shirt actually burns any calories.

So you get to the awkward age where image is everything and when you have to do athletic tests in front of the whole class you seem more conscience of what people are thinking than your actual task. Not to mention the class was so large your lucky if you got a chance to participate in the class wide events. Even the heavier set girls would sit out events or avoid having to do anything to ward off snickers. So, why have co-ed gym classes when it just encourages lack of participation.

Having the class separate into sexes makes sense, because there is less of distraction when the kids hit the point that exercise is important is usually the same time good old puberty starts. It would have certainly made me more comfortable trying to figure out how to whack a tennis ball around with out some hot shot trying to make me look bad in front of the smoking hot DALE girls. Or perhaps stopped me from yelling at girls who didn’t feel like paying attention during street hockey month. Many girls at this age are more worried about looking good and not sweating (of course as always there are a few exceptions) which disturbs any kind of team game. If they were just amongst their own it would let teachers have more one on one focus time on students.

Maybe this is why Americans are so fat (aside from all the greasy food) because gym class for the most part is ineffective for over half the students for 12 years. Of course, the gifted athletes got something out of it. However, having the sessions separated would have likely resulted in the athletic kids’ spirit and abilities rubbing off on the others. Than again those short shorts were pretty coo and some punk who always find senseless violence funnier (ex: hurling a volleyball at some one for no good reason and knocking their glasses off). Oh yeah, and I never found one girl that was impressed that I could get an 8 on the V seat reach. Sadly, my only moment of glory in all my years of gym.
