10/02/01: How Western Sensitivities will Murder Thousands !
According to my sources, what I propose this morning has been practiced in the past with good results. Not only could it end terrorism by 'Muslim Radicals,' it will indeed inform those of us in the Western World, exactly just how distant these Osama-bin-Laden-fueled Islamic suicide bombers are from mainline Muslim thought. All Western governments should proclaim, in video, in print, in audio and possibly even in sky writing, this promise: That, if Islamic terrorists should commit acts of barbarism resulting in the death of one single innocent civilian, the terrorist(s) remains, even if they have been reduced to the size of bullion cubes, will be tightly wrapped in pork bellies, bathed in radioactive nuclear waste, encased in concrete, to then forever rest on the osary shelf of a spent salt mine. Since, unlike Christianity, the Islam religion is a religion of works and mysticism, not Grace, this after-death mummification should supposedly prevent these religious zealots from entering Paradise. And, if the remainder of the Islamic world voices strong opposition to this form of Western Retribution, it will clearly and plainly and once and for all, demonstrate to those of us in the West, that for Muslims, even the defense of insane practitioners of their religion, holds priority over the saving of a myriad of innocent lives. And their protestations could not but force all non-Muslim citizens to seriously ponder, what indeed life would be like should Islam reign supreme in their nation, or God forbid, over the entire planet.

09/12/01: Not Your Everyday Hijacking
One of the things that immediately concerned your Mr. Wonderful, was how in the world, could two or three or four hijackers, wielding mere box cutters, commandeer an aircraft seating sixty or more hostile passengers and crew, an action which eventually allowed the terrorist's to precisely pilot the plane into a people packed 1,348 foot tall New York high-rise? And I also couldn't help thinking, how one American civilian, armed with a legally purchased and licensed handgun, could have literally saved thousands of lives and billions of dollars. But, as we have all been ceaselessly indoctrinated by the adored Hollywood elite, the liberal all-the-world-is-safe-but-America crowd and their puppet-stringed news-readers jaw-jacking beneath immaculately coifed manes, "Handguns can only impart death and destruction and never under any imaginable circumstances rescue one single life." I have always believed that airport security was an absolute joke and the loophole that pilots and air crew could bypass all security an inconceivable but everyday occurrence. I realized that airport security procedures, funded in part by the airline companies from ticket prices, were an economic trade-off. In my mind's-eye, I visualized the board of directors cold-heartedly balancing the legal and monetary costs of the occasional loss of lives and a forty million dollar airliner, versus the cost of maintaining twenty four hour effective and virtually airtight security. Now, with the loss of thousands of lives, billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of jobs, and United and American facing possible bankrupting court judgments, these economic trade-offs are swept off the board. And how could less than a handful of hijackers, armed only with razors no longer than restaurant toothpicks overtake an airliner while confronting scores adversely-minded, if indeed unarmed, travelers? They could do this because the paying passengers of these twin engined jets believed this takeover to simply be a 'bread and butter' 20th Century airborne kidnapping, where most, if not all, well-behaved, ticketed passengers, would escape to fly 'The Friendly Skies' yet another day. But tragically, these particular skyjackings were to be the primer of many 21st Century skyjackings. 21st Century skyjackings, where a 7-Series airliner is stolen by dickless cowards, and then used as a fuel-air guided missile to slaughter the unarmed innocents.

09/11/01: "The War has Started !"
Why your Mr.Wonderful, on a rare day off, was up this morning at 5:38AM Arizona time is anyone's guess. I was in the middle of soaping up my spring steel abs when the AM radio announced that an airplane had crashed into a World Trade Center Tower. When the second commercial airliner flew into the remaining undamaged tower, I carefully squished out of the shower, stepped out of the bathroom and announced to the Missus that "The war has started!" Announcers compare this attack to Pearl Harbor, but being ignorant of history, they are wrong on three counts: 1) This was an attack on unarmed, unsuspecting civilian paper pushers 2) The Japanese aircraft that bombed Pearl Harbor were clearly labeled with 'Rising Sun' decals. And 3) Many thousands more people will die in these Twin Tower attacks than were killed on December 7th, 1941. This terrorist incident spells the end of the modern skyscraper and exposes the fallacy of guarding million dollar aircraft, easily capable of becoming 600 mph flying bombs, with private security officers who couldn't stop a wheelchair-bound quadriplegic armed with only a straw. I'm not sure the explosions are over. I'm still waiting for the Puppetmaster, once he is certain of his vice-grip on the attention of the world, then choosing to detonate an atomic weapon. More to come.

09/05/01: AARP Bulletin Obfuscates on Social Security !
In today's America, the instant one turns fifty, AARP magazines begin flooding your mailbox. For those not completely familiar with AARP ( as I understand it, the Washington, D.C. lobbying group with the largest membership of all ) understand that it is composed of twenty millions of Americans the age of fifty and over. While this 'Association' probably does a lot of good for us 'seasoned citizens,' in two areas it perseveres in its insistence on the never-ending enslavement of the paychecks of all Americans under the age of three score and five. AARP does this by assuring its members that Medicare and Social Security are the two best things that could ever be bestowed upon any citizen. In its September 2001 'AARP Bulletin,' the publication, printed on glossy newsprint, insists that Social Security doesn't need fixing. In a two page, 'six assertion,' 'six response' spread, the Bulletin's writers attempt to refute a half dozen accusations put forth by the President's Commission to Strengthen Social Security. Let's examine their 'response' to the 'accusation' that "The trust fund holds . . . only promises . . . " , backed up by IOU's, to fund future retiree's benefits. AARP insists that the ". . . Treasury securities held by the fund are as real and valuable as those held by individuals and pension funds." AARP seems to forget that the Treasury securities held by "individuals and pension funds" were, Number 1) Purchased by trading the Treasury, U.S. currency in exchange for those bonds, and Number 2) Collecting interest at a rate guaranteed by the same Treasury that prints (hint) our currency. On the September 2nd broadcast of Fox News Sunday, Democratic Congressman Charlie Stenholm, in a putrid attempt at debasing the recent G.W. Bush Tax Rebate, announced that there is ". . . $7.9 trillion of unfunded liability in Social Security . . ." Maybe Charlie ought to calm down and talk to the socialists at ARRP, eh? But, for once, the Honorable Charles Stenholm is correct. The Social Security Trust Fund, after decades of raiding by members of both parties for 'off-the-budget' spending sprees, is left owning only Treasury securities with some unknown future value. Treasury securities accruing no interest, securities that will only attain any value when, and if, they are auctioned off and replaced with our country's newly designed greenbacks. Greenbacks that will most probably never be invested, for they must immediately electronically flow out of the Trust Fund's coffers, into the nine digit cyber-accounts of our senior citizens in a feeble attempt to keep alive the fragile fraud that is known as Social Security.

09/03/01: Tax Rebate, "... better Spent by Government building bridges ... "
When I heard this absolutely insane verbiage drip out of the speakers of my AM/FM receiver, located in the plush Mr. Wonderful bathroom, brushing my teeth became much more difficult . . . because I began spitting blood! What kind of blockhead, dimwit, dolt, dope, dork, dummy, halfwit, idiot, imbecile, loony lamebrain would make such a psychotic statement? Only someone who is totally out of touch with the reality of the economic history involving a federal government that would spend $300,000 developing a pen to write in zero-gravity while the 'primitive' Soviet space program simply utilized a common two-cent pencil OR someone who is involved in the power structure of the Fed's, a power structure that is solely propelled by the, now lessened, tax dollars of the unaware-governed. Two quick examples of how government no longer serves us and why, under any circumstances, should never receive the bounty reaped by collecting more taxes than budgeted for. This past April, I posted a certified letter to the Internal Revenue Service, Ogden, Utah, requesting replacement of a $500 expired Treasury Service check. As of August 31st, 2001, over five months later, my only response has been the signed receipt the USPS returned to me. How long would the businesses you and I labor at stay in business operating with a lag-time of five months? And next, an example of typical government buffoonery closer to home, here in Maricopa County, Arizona. Several years ago, I renegotiated the mortgage on the luxurious MW abode to a category where I was required to mail my county property valuation taxes directly to the Maricopa County Treasurer, rather than having those (outrageous) taxes part and parcel of my monthly mortgage payment. It was 100% my error that I then forgot to mail my property taxes. I was bluntly reminded when I received two certified letters from the Maricopa County Treasurer advising me my property was soon to have a tax lien filed on it for failure to remit county property taxes. I immediately phoned the office of the county treasurer and queried as to why I never had received, over the past two years, any property tax bills from his office. The gentleman replied that they had been mailing out regular statements and proceeded to recite an address that was thirteen miles south of my home in an area where an entire city block would not fetch the taxes shown on my statement. I asked him if they did not monitor statements returned to their office because of errors in addressing and such. He replied that they did not. Astonished, I then challenged him with the obvious effing question: Since the property valuation was of an owner-occupied residence listed at the CORRECT address, how could they have continued to mail out tax bills, never receiving a reply or payment, for over eight quarters and not realize they were mailing their demands to the wrong address! He had no answer. Dear readers, our governments, from the wild spenders in D.C. to the town councils of our own cities, demand and receive far more tax dollars right now than even remotely called for. Always respond, not only "No!," but "HELL NO!" to any tax increase requests or tax rebate re-thinks, from any of these scallawags and continue to insist, via emails, letters, faxes, 'Town Hall' meetings and your votes, for much lower taxes. Let's not continue to be duped by these rapacious rascals whose diet consists of gorging on our hard-earned dollars.
