Dragging

As it has been pointed out to me by my friend Mustang, I have severely neglected by blog this week. Unlike Mustang, who is retired and living in the lap of luxury in Florida, I have to work. And this past week has been very busy (didn't get home until after 7:30 last evening).

I have been so tired, so worn down, I didn't even have time to do a News In Brief post. So, the next best half-ass effort is linking to Mustang's new post on ACORN.

My Mom says this is a bad word blog. She told me half-assed is a vulgar expression. She says I can’t come over here no more.

Shit!

It is rough when life gets in the way of blogging. I work 12 hour shifts so on the days I work I don't make the rounds like I want. Maybe if Obama would make his mortgage rescue plan a little better I can just quit and let him pay my mortgage?

Chuck … interesting idea; you might consider creating a corporation and then petitioning the government for a bailout. It does happen, you know. The next best thing would be to start your own church: tax-exempt income and kickbacks from the Rainbow/Push coalition could go a long way toward buying that cabin cruiser you’ve always wanted.

Not long ago, concerned as I am about Sunset’s overall health and frame of mind, I offered him a great idea for early retirement. Not surprisingly, he didn’t consider my suggestion longer than a New York minute. Trying to help people can be very taxing (no pun intended). It is also disappointing to note that in spite of my several efforts to help Sunset find his way in a very complex, often troubling world, he refuses to give back. He even went so far to reject an idea I had about merging our two families. Ungrateful bastard is what he is.

Wait, did you just call Mustang "Half assed"?
Oops..sorry, Eric.!!! Hilarious

A story: I used to do tenant improvement in med. buildings with a leasing agent. we worked for the same medical company; I was the interior designer.
We had a REALLY difficult new tenant, a shrink, and he was giving my leasing friend hell (oops, sorry again, Eric!)
Finally, she said "We're paying half of everything"
"are you telling me you're paying for half the TOILET?" he screamed.
She sat straighter in her chair and said as calmly and eloquently as anything I have heard:
"Yes, that is for you and your half assed patients"

I thought I was going to hit the deck under the conference table! You had to be there!!! (he was like a lamb after that, by the way)

LA was actually secretly down here in Memphis watching his pastor Reverend Wright at Memphis State tonight. He'll have a full report tomorrow in lieu of his regular music feature, which was going to feature the best of Bobby Sherman.

Eric,

You never listen to your mom, haven't since you were toddling. Why should we expect you to change your behavior today?

Not when you are Mustang. An example of his life getting in the way of blogging is an afternoon nap.

Story forthcoming, folks. Stay tuned.

Wasn't Dr. Phil, was it?

Thanks AC. One of the few things I try to do well here is keep the people guessing. I like the element of surprise.

Now that you have leaked the contents of this weekend's music post, I must redo it completely. This means that Bobby Sherman's fans will all have to wait at least six months before I will consider doing a tribute to him. (Early Oct. at best)

Mustang wanted me to do it for Z. He has repeatedly told me how big of a fan she is of Mr. Sherman. Now she is going to be disappointed and I wouldn't be surprised if she filed a lawsuit against you, very soon.

In an entirely different matter,I know that we at Sunset Enterprises will be looking at how the leak originated. So you may also be investigated from a copyright infringement standpoint, somewhere in the near future. But naturally, I will authorize my attorney to drop any civil complaints that may arise (from me against you), if you name names.

That's my offer. You are on your own with Z.

Years ago, a wise sage offered, “you cannot compensate for your own shortcomings by criticizing others.” Sunset has never learned this, nor apparently, benefitted from the advice. Now here we have a classic example of Sunset … a man who has more lawsuits going on than a New York lawyer, stirring up his loyal readership, and not only threatening them with a new round of lawsuits, but attempting to encourage them to sue one another. I have never seen a worse case of reader-abuse than this. I do hope that should Z, Mustang, Eric, Rocket, Chuck, or AC begin to experience sleeplessness, unexplained short temper, reduced libido, hearing loss, thinning hair, aching gums, anxiety, or ingrown toenails, that they contact me for an immediate free assessment. Remember, it’s your money … why should we allow Sunset keep it?

I refuse to have MY NAME and BOBBY SHERMAN used in the same sentence and will resort to contacting Randolph Dewey myself if you do not cease and desist.
Also, that's the last time I share a quite funny story with ANY bloggers (smile)

Also...ya, WHAT IS THIS about joining families? Is someone in LA's family actually taking Mustang up on his offer in one of his latest posts? He did say that 'asset' WAS "Marriagable"! Does LA have a marriagable asset, too? Oh, and is there such a thing as a HALF-AssET? heh
Altho, I'll admit Mustang's did sound like it might be!

I can’t speak for any of the other people Mr. Sunset has abused, but his suggestion that Z is a fan of Bobby Sherman is simply outrageous. I am embarrassed and saddened that Mr. Sunset would attack and disparage his loyal followers; I should have listened to what AC was telling me all these many months. I think consulting an attorney is the only recourse. I hope everyone get’s a lot of money, too.

But I must tell you, I am not surprised. I have noted a transformation in Sunset’s personality for a long time now, beginning when he dressed up as Little Bo Peep and terrorized his neighborhood last Halloween. I never thought his problems would go this far, however; I thought he would take my advice and see a mental health professional.

To Z … please accept my deepest apologies; had I thought he would castigate you in this manner, I would never have told you what a wonderful human being he is. You may forgive me, Z … but I will never forgive myself.

Sincerely yours,

Z said...

Mustang,

This all falls under the TRUTH IN BLOGGING ACT, which means one must reveal all, especially dressing as Little Bo Beep on Halloween or telling a friend someone's an upright member of the blogging world when aforementioned friend, clearly, does not fit that bill.

of course, the TRUTH IN BLOGGING ACT also, since the unfortunate election of one Barack Obama, also stipulates that one must only say glowing things about HIM...the 'truth' being anything HE feels is true, but I digress... And, we don't have the Fairness Doctrine YET..

In any case, perhaps we can get a class action suit going against Mr. Sunsett....Mr. Dewey might accept a discount?

Yours Very Sincerely,

Z
PS You DID mention Z and Bobby SHerman in one sentence, by the way, something I will have to strongly consider in my lawsuit.

Evidence has been uncovered that it was in fact Mustang that leaked this information. We, therefore, absolve Mr. AC of any liability in this case. We cannot reveal the sources of this evidence that supports our belief, at least not at this time.But tapes will be forwarded to all those involved for review by each interested party's legal representative to consider.

I expect no less than three law suits. Z, AC, and Mr. Sunsett will have enough evidence to warrant civil tort claims and possibly human rights violations.

Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be guilty of misprision of a felony and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

Specification 1: That L. A. Sunset hired a felon who was then known to him to be a felon, to wit: Irwin Shyster, a known affiliate of Carmine Sabatini who runs a gang of thugs in western Indianapolis, and who through conspiracy to perjure himself in the court of public opinion, keeping said conspiracy from the knowledge of the court, is guilty of this offense.

Specification 2: That L. A. Sunset, in league with Irwin Shyster, conspired to hide the fact of their perjury, to wit: That Mustang leaked information, known by the defendents to be a lie and keeping said conspiracy from the knowledge of the court, is guilty of this offense.

Specification 3: That LA Sunset and Irwin Shyster, having conspired to commit perjury in the court of public opinion, exacerbated the odious crime by attempting to suborn witnesses against Mustang, known as an honorable, resourceful, tall, and roguishly handsome global soldier of the sea, and having declined to inform the court of said conspiracy is guilty of this offense

Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye: A court of competent jurisdiction shall convene at the earliest practicable date, but no later than 30 days from the date of this writ.

Mr. Dikhead,

We have requested a change of venue, where this case has not received as much publicity. We hope you understand it's nothing personal. We are sure you can butcher the rule of law and legislate from the bench as much as the next guy. But we would prefer to not have a third cousin (twice removed) of Mustang judging the case.

Thank you in advance,

Irwin R. Shyster J.D.

LA, even being unemployed right now, I am having days when posting on the blog just isn't going to happen. I know how retired people feel now. When people know you aren't working, they seem to come up with lots of things for you to do!!!

PS. I have post up that any household that makes more than 30K a year, needs to know about that "stimulus money" you are getting on your check and Taxes for 2009.
