Even though I’m in Vegas, there are tons of those “What happens here stays here” commercials on TV. Hey, I’m already in Vegas. You got me! What more do you want?
Anyway, done with conferences here, and just as Dr. J started to learn how to drive the F150 with extended bed (it’s easier to drive backwards out of the parking garage than trying to turn the damn thing around). Tomorrow morning, I’ll be headed to an even more exciting place than Vegas for one more conference. Where you ask? Well, you’ll have to keep tuning into the exciting adventures of “Frank J. Business Tripping” to find out where and if I have internet access there to tell you where.
And, if I do have internet access, I promise an actual regular political humor post (the one I’ve been working on). It’ll be Monday, and you guys deserve it.
Heh heh, I’m just hearing on Fox News how Kerry didn’t even get a bounce from the DNC convention. What a loser. If only he served in a war or something.
Anyhoo, going to end my Vegas trip with a buffet, a little more gambling, and saying goodbye to one of the two frick’n retards (the Greek isn’t going on to the next destination; he got voted off the island). For those who care, I’ll give you the final Vegas update tonight.
Later, sportsfans.

Decided to try the craps table. There dealer helped me out best he could, but it was a series of bad rolling and soon I was down the whole $80 I started with. Then I went to my old standby, the Monopoly slots machine, and, after some foreplay, I was down another $25.
Gambling results so far: Up $85.35
One more night to either win or lose.

Man, I’m having almost too much fun to be getting per diem.
Anyway, today there was a talk by some punk saying there should be “hacktivism” against the Republican National Convention. He wanted as many right wing sites taken down as possible (remind me to back up IMAO) and was going to list the names and phone numbers and what plays each Republican delegate is going to so they could be hassled.
Total tool. A complete toolshed, in fact. Hell, this guy could be a whole ACE Hardware store.
He was all about anarchy, saying capitalism is the problem, and that stealing from the rich for benefit of the poor is justified. He kept saying he wouldn’t do anything himself, but was publishing this information so others could do things, to which I said, “RICO.” While a few in the audience were sympathetic, most were definitely looking at this muckadoo and thinking, “What a tool.”
When it came to questions, one person came stood up and gave him a good verbal berating and got a huge applause. When the muckadoo said he was justified because of all dead from the war and again mentioned bombing, one of the audience shouted, “So is it okay to bomb you?” Then he defended himself, saying that the American Revolutionaries would have been considered terrorists by the British, to which someone yelled, “Yeah, but they were capitalists!”
This guy wasn’t worth a serious rebuttal, so I held up my hand to ask one of these questions:
“I hate poor people and hippies; is there a hacktivism group for me to join?”
“I like this idea of hassling people we disagree with. You should get a list of NRA members and hassle them.”
“You keep mentioning how people are making money off of war. Could you expand more on how to do that?”
Unfortunately, I didn’t get called on. It was ended early by those who ran the conference, one saying, “I’m all for fighting tyranny… but do so responsibly.”
To which the muckadoo yelled, “By any means necessary!”
I like that slogan, “Fight responsibly… by any means necessary!”
Man, it was hilarious. Wish you all could have seen it. As I was walking out, one guy ahead of me remarked, “That was such an idiot. Anyway, Republicans and Democrats are just two sides of the same coin.”
To that usual moderate drivel I said, “All I know is that I want low taxes and dead foreigners.”
To his credit, the guy cracked up.
Well, I found out today that Guinness tastes sweet if you drink it right after doing a shot of whiskey. It’s soon time for another meeting over cigars and drinks and possibly a visit to the craps table.
Remain honorable, ronin.
