It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but it’s honestly not because I’m letting the blog go.В It is for one reason only, I feel, lately, completely and totally burned out by politics in general.В It’s the same old thing, this side does something this side doesn’t like, so the other side does something the other guys won’t like.В Kind of like a quid-pro-quo pissing match that lasts for years on end.
Now that the Democrats have control of Congress, I no longer have to try and come up with good reasons why the Republicans in control have let the budget go to hell, completely ignored our border situation, or any of the other things that have been pissing me off lately with my party of choice.В I’m going to take the time in the near future to see if the GOP will take the hint the american people have given them, and just what they’ll do with the new found minority they’re in.

Cryps and Bloods on a Political Scale
Fri, 20 Oct 2006 22:32:59 GMT
Remember the last time you played that old Milton Bradley stallwart, LIFE? Before the game begins each player gets to pick which little car they want to use. I remember long fights with my whole family over who got to be the red car or the blue car and so fourth. I am reminded of this when I start thinking about Republican and Democrat controlled States.
How come the Democrats get to be blue? Blue is my favorite color and I ain’t no stinkin’ Democrat! Wouldn’t red be a better color choice for them anyway? They are the Communists, they are certainly the hotheads, I say they should be red. Is the color of the Green party purple? Hell no! Its Green! What the frick, man? did the Green party get to pick their color first?
Bah! guess its not worth it. Let’s play Monopoly instead. I got first dibs on the little dog!

Yours truly is back in the realm of the gainfully employed. Okay, maybe not so gainfully, but I’m employed! Sure, a shift at work with me may be more “Clerks” than “The Office”, but still, it’s a job that’ll pay for the rest of my (all too late) college career.В Don’t worry, I’m not going to be giving up on HotB just yet (Yeah, I know, you’ve heard it before…So?). Lots of stuff to come, lots of people to offend, and lots of never-to-be-read posts to write!

Depending on which chicken little-esque’ blogger you read or which spin you believe, Republicans will either lose every seat in the house, senate, state senates, governerships, and 2 or 3 Ford Dealerships, or they’ll remain in the majority by the SMALLEST of margins. This is reportedly due to (choose your excuse): the Foley scandal, an “in-effective” congress, the Iraq war, the North Korean nuclear situation, Dick Cheney’s marksmanship, a bloated federal budget, the President’s vocabulary, an already bad and continually growing immigration problem, or Karl Rove forgetting to turn the coffee pot off.
What hasn’t been said on the radio, by talking heads on TV, in the newspaper, or posted on a blog is just what the Democrats plan to do with their new-found majority (IF they win it). I have seen NOTHING related to strengthening our borders, cutting government spending, taking out the Gargoyle (if you don’t know what I’m referring to here, you probably should stick to CNN or MSNBC), or pony-ing up for a basic hunter safety course for the VP.
I’m a cause and effect type of guy… It’s not enough for me to know that someone wants to be in power, I want to know WHY and what they plan on doing with the power they will hold. I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m a Conservative and Republican, but when I vote, I actually look at WHY I should vote for a person. A note to Democrats: You’ll get a lot farther by telling us WHY we should vote for you, as opposed to just saying “We’re not Republicans!”. If you try that tactic and expect it to work, you might want to put your therapist on speed dial and start stockpiling your Prozac because November is going to be a VERY bad month for you.

Bad TV
Sun, 15 Oct 2006 01:58:37 GMT
World record pancake flipping, being a poker voyeur, cartoons, or tsunami’s… The choices for TV tonight (and in general) are HORRIBLE. Now that I’ve joined the 21st century, I have a DVR and use it religiously. I only have 4 or 5 shows that I’m interested in (per week, PERIOD) so I never have to worry about it being full.
And while I’m ranting about TV, what the hell is the problem with TV networks going off the deep end?? If the highest ratings come one night a week, or during a certain block of time during the day when you’re showing a “mini-marathon” of a particular show, WHY would you use that time to air a show or block of shows that people AREN’T watching in their normal timeslot?
The functional equivilent of this are bands who get famous and filty rich doing a particular style of music, then piss off every fan they have with a horrible album in the name of “artistic freedom”. We don’t WANT you to experiment. If we wanted to hear that style of music, or watch that TV show, we would already be doing it. Don’t take away something we LIKE to “expose” us to something we wouldn’t watch if were were tied to a chair with no remote in sight…

HotB now has a new home, and a new look! Due to yours truely being a complete and total schmuck, I let the original HotB domain name lapse, and someone snapped it right up. That being said, Wordpress (the makers of the fine blog software that I’ve ALWAYS used) recently decided to host blogs as well as provide the software. I decided that I would take advantage of a domain that I could not lose, hosting that I wouldn’t have to maintain, and blog software that I LOVE (and don’t have to update).
Along with the update to the blog look and feel, there have also been updates to those of us who publish HotB:
I now have a LOT of free time on my hands (pink-slips will do that to you, and I’m not talking about the ones you wear) and since I don’t see smoking cigarettes (and watching Captain (Captain) Kang(Kaaaang)aroo.. sorry, had a Statler Brothers moment there) and watching Star Trek (happy 40th anniversary, by the way) as a good use of my time, I would be more than happy to entertain any six-figure offers that you may have for me.
Dan is still overseas playing in the sand, but should be home soon (I know his wife and kids can’t wait). He should be doing some guests posts from over there to let us know how things are going from a first-person perspective.
Zack is, well.. still Zack. He’s got the family thing going on, and at last contact, was working for a rather large varmint in the southeastern United States.
Expect a few posts here and there, and feel free to comment your little heart out on subjects you’d like to see a post on.
Until Next Time!

Alright, here it is. The long awaited (most likely by no-one other than myself) dissertation on the DPWorld take over of terminal operations at 6 (oops, make that 9 now) major U.S. Ports.  As with my last few posts, I’m going to keep my research notes close to me, and allow you to do your OWN research, and decide for yourself where to stand (as if my opinion has some long-ranging foreign policy implications).
First off, some clarification.
Point One: This is not a “Take-over of our ports”, this is merely a company who is taking over OPERATIONS at these ports. This is the same as the Gap being in your local mall. The Gap does not own the mall. Most likely, the Gap doesn’t even own the space it’s using, it’s just renting it. The Gap can hire who it wants to do the job of selling, cleaning, and stocking it’s merchandise and area, but is not responsible for security at the mall, for bringing in new business to the mall, cleaning the mall, or running the food court.
Point Two:В DPWorld will NOT be responsible for running, handling, or taking part in security matters at these ports.В This has been, and will continue to be a function of Homeland Security and the U.S. Coast Guard.
Point Three:В 80% (give or take a few) of the port terminals in the U.S. are controlled by foreign entities, including, but not limited to those based in Singapore, Venezuela and China.
Now, with that being said, even though DPWorld will not have a hand in security at these ports, they will know the security strong and weak points at their terminals (going back to the mall analogy, the employees and management of the Gap know what kind of alarm system they have, where their cameras are placed, and how long it takes security / the local police to respond to calls for service).В This, in and of itself is enough for me to take notice of this deal, and be wary.В For better or worse, DPWorld is a Dubai based company (are you getting as tired of that phrase as I am) and is a function of an Arab government.
We are currently (for those who have been out of town for the last little while) in a world-wide war against terror. And by all the evidence that I have, to date, seen, while not all Arabs are terrorists, the vast majority of terrorists (yes, I realize there are groups such as Bader Meinhof a.k.a. the Red Army Faction and the Red Brigades, thus the reason for the “vast majority” clause) are Arab. If I’m wrong on this (which I know I’m not), prove it. Show me numbers, and plausible evidence, and I’ll retract that statement. But don’t hold your breath for a retraction any time soon.
I said that last paragraph to say this (I know, I know, “long-winded Len” strikes again): Do we want a company who, being based in an Arab country, much less being OWNED by that country, to have access to information on our security strengths and weaknesses at major U.S. ports? While I do not personally think that the government of Dubai is out to stick a scimitar in our back, it would only take one person in the company, working either for ideology or cold-hard-cash, to cause some MAJOR headaches for us.
Alright, here it is.

I’ve been busy. I know, I know. Everyone’s busy. Everyone has a job. Everyone has school (at some point in their life). Everyone has a life (for the most part). Everyone has their weekly nudist bowling league (okay, maybe thats just me and 20 of my closest friends…). I know this, and I sincerely apologize for the lack of updates. I’ve been busier than a 3 legged cat trying to cover a turd on an icy lake, Dan is playing somewhere WAY east of here in a big sandbox, and I haven’t got a CLUE where Zack is. Suffice to say, I do feel bad about keeping you in the political darkness (no, I don’t REALLY think that you don’t get your news from a more reputable, more reliable, or more CONSISTENT service, but I had to throw something in there like that…), and hope (here comes the new-years resolution of blogging) that I can become more involved and timely in my postings. Look for a new post about the DPWorld purchase of 6 major US ports sometime in the coming days (hopefully)…

Well, folks, the word has come down and yours truly will be XXXXXXXXX to XXXXXXXXXXX.with the XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. We will be stationed at XXXXXXXXXX after we arrive from XXXXXXXXXX where we will spend 3 months training for this XXXXXXXXXX. The wife and kids will be in XXXXXXXXXXXXX with my XXXXXX. I know they’ll be fine and I can assure you all that I will be fine too. I’ll be working as an XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX for my home unit XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. I certainly hope we gather enough XXXXXXXXXXXX to XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX or any of those XXXXXXXX goons.
I will continue to blog while in XXXXXXXXXXX but please understand that I cant discuss XXXXXXXXX, or XXXXXXXXXXXX while I’m there. I XXXX you all and promise to keep you posted as soon as access to the XXXXXXXX becomes available to me.
Wish me luck!

You know what you NEVER see? A midget (dwarf.. little person… oompa-loompa if you will) Al Qaeda member. Do they exist? Does Jihad have a height restriction like a roller coaster does? And another thing, if your average terrorist dirtbag gets 72 virgins in paradise for turning themselves into an aerosol, does the junior thug only get 36?
