Old Whitey Stops By

The other night, one of the Dive Bar's Regulars stumbled in at sat on the stool next to me. Oh Jesus.

"Old Whitey" is about 85, and like most old men I know, thinks he is a Great Sage of Life's Wisdom or "The Funniest Man in the World". Unfortunately for me, Whitey thinks he is both. And he Ain't.

Although Zeke has met PLENT of people in life, who have examined the world as they moved through it, and learned how it works, THIS GUY, for the most pasrt, ain't one of them.

Now don't look at me like that: Zeke LIKES old people storys. In general.

But Whitey...not so much.

He ALWAYS tells the same stories. About the War. Blah blah blah.

And he trys to tell jokes too, but only tells the ones that offend somebody. And usually they aren't even that funny. Mostly they are about beating up Dames, Rape or killing foreigners in funny ways. Some times he sings old and unfunny songs about Bombing Something. Like Iran. What a card. He thinks.

Although I know Whitey thinks he is a Stitch, he is alone in that belief.
Most people get up and walk away from Whitey, but Zeke thinks he has something to teach us, after all he DID make it to be the GOP Presidental Candidate this year somehow. Although I think he might be just be making that up too.

After all, he's kind of nuts and forgets where the hell he is sometimes. And he always forgets his teeth on the Bar.

Man I hope he ain't the actual GOP nominee for the White House, 'cause if they think this Cranky, Old, Confused, Offensive, Ill-tempered coot can be the President, they have lost their fucking minds at the RNC.

Seriously. 'scuze my French.

STEAL THE VOTE 08: Judge Jerry and Rigged Voting Machines

Looky, Looky! Our little GOP Insider Chief Washoe Judge Jerry "Voldemort" Polaha has actually thrown out a case that MIGHT have questioned the validity of Nevada's RIG-ABLE Sequoia Voting Machines.

Imagine that. Judge Jerry is AGAIN Partisanly siding with the GOP on an issue that may allow them to STEAL THE FREAKING '08 ELECTION!

Note that California has THROWN out THESE SAME Machines already.
Judge Jerry doesn't seem to care about that.

This latest update kind of explains why ya don't see a lot of GOP Candidate out campaigning. I guess they all know that THEY WILL WIN NO MATTER HOW THE REAL VOTE COMES OUT. Thanks to Judge Jerry!

READ THIS:
"A Washoe District Court judge has dismissed an activist’s lawsuit against a leading provider of electronic voting machines, saying no proof was offered that they malfunctioned.
In her complaint filed in October 2006, Patricia Axelrod of Reno claimed her vote in the 2004 general election was not counted because of a defective Sequoia Voting Systems Inc. machine. But in a ruling issued July 17, Judge Jerome Polaha said state statutes cited by Axelrod gave her no standing to sue the company over an alleged lost vote. The judge further said the alleged lost vote fails to constitute a “property interest” as claimed by Axelrod, and that Sequoia’s machines have not been shown to have malfunctioned. Michelle M. Shafer, a vice president at Oakland, Calif.-based Sequoia, hailed the ruling. “Since the inception of this matter it has been Sequoia’s belief that the claims asserted had no basis in either fact or law,” she said Sunday. “The court’s dismissal of the lawsuit confirms this belief.” Axelrod, who acted as her own counsel, said she was undecided whether to appeal the ruling to the Nevada Supreme Court. “It’s a black day for Nevada,” she said Sunday. “Whether you’re a Democrat or Republican, you’re going to have reason to doubt the outcome of this year’s election. The very same machines used in Nevada have been decertified for use by the state of California.” Last August, California Secretary of State Debra Bowen decertified voting machines made by Sequoia and another company but said they could regain certification if they meet several new conditions. The action came after University of California computer experts found that voting machines sold by Sequoia and two other companies were vulnerable to hackers and that voting results could be altered. Sequoia criticized the study, calling it “an unrealistic, worst-case-scenario evaluation.” Clark County Registrar Larry Lomax called the study “absurd,” adding Nevadans “have the best voting system that you can have.” The state of Nevada was the first in the nation to use electronic voting equipment with a voter-verified paper audit trail, using Sequoia machines. Nevada election officials have said they’re monitoring developments in California and working on election security and other issues. Axelrod said she found her 2004 vote was neither registered nor counted after she accessed her voting record on the county Registrar of Voter’s Diebold Election Management System computer. She said doesn’t trust touch-screen technology and she seeks a return to paper ballots. In March, Polaha dismissed Axelrod’s claims against other defendants in the lawsuit, including Diebold Inc., the state of Nevada and Washoe County." [RGJ]

Zombie McCain to Attack Sparks on Tuesday!

Zeke hates Zombies.

And the Zombie Leader John "BRAAAAAINS" McCain will be slowly shuffling into a Town Hall meeting on Tuesday at Reed High School in Sparks.

Are you afraid? You should be.

Although science has yet to explain how McCain could possibly still be alive at the age of 137, this un-retouched Campaign photo explains alot.

And although there will certainly be an Anti-Zombie Squad dispatched to ward off the McCain Zombie presence, he may very well bite and infect more Northern Nevada Republicans and inspire them to continue their old Zombie Plans like "Trickle Down" Economics, "Created" Wars and desire to pull out co-eds intestines to eat for Brunch.

There is a concern that other Zombies like Dean "Mormon Zombie" Heller and Heidi "Zombie Spice" Gansert may also lumber into the meeting; a dangerous situation indeed for the unprepared.

Zeke recomends staying in the Dive Bar (4th Street's Dimliest Lit Bar) and watching the Mayhem on TV. Like everything else.

Join the Nevada GOP VOTE STEALING TEAM!

Get'em while they last! HERE

Washoe Judge Polaha Will Toss Out the Ron Paulite Lawsuit at 10am Today. Fugetaboutit.

And to little Surprise.
After all, Washoe Chief Judge Polaha is the same guy who let Carpetbagger Trent "Ty Cobb almost sent me to Prison" Baldwin stay on the Ballot in AD30 even though he had signed a NOTERIZED Loan document that showed his actual residency outside of the District. After all, who are WE to expect a Judge to stick to the Law?

Since Polaha is the Chief Judge he probably cherry picked this case, which if allowed to get traction, would be a HUGE FREAKING EMBARRASSMENT to the Nevada GOP, who are being sued by THEIR OWN MEMBERS for appointing Delegates instead of voting on them.

Zeke is starting to think that one of Reno's real JOURNALIST TYPES should start looking into Judge "Pachyderm" Polaha's decisions over the years and see if any OTHER partisan opinions stand out.

At least we don't have to worry about him screwin' with the November 4th Election.

OR DO WE?

Mommy? Why is Dean Heller Crying?

Oh yeah, this is the worst month of Dean "One and Out" Heller's Political life.

Word on the street is that Jill Derby is going to be kicked up to the top tier on the DCCC's "Red to Blue" list. Like Soon. REALLY Soon. Actually, the "word" came from a quietly sobbing close friend of a Heller staffer, at the bar last night who thinks his friend has been backing the wrong Horse.

The little girly man told Zeke that Heller's team is FREAKING OUT 'cause they have got nothing but bad press, over Deaniac©'s "Clean House" comment, and believe that the Democratic Party's momentum and Heller and the Washoe GOP Party's lack of ANY grassroots base, is going to flatten the Republican like a midnight jaywalker on Sierra Street.

Apparently, the Heller team also was unaware that Derby was Anti-Gun control like Heller which screwed up their plan to work the "she'll take your gun" on rural gun owners. Oops.

In fact the little slime ball told me that the ONLY message that Heller's team has "managed" was the last 2Q FEC report that they "massaged" to look like he was doing better than Derby. In reality, most of Heller's money has come from PAC's, not individual donors like Derby. And Deaniac© also was able to get many media outfits to ignore their HORRENDIOUS campaign debt which, if counted, would put Derby ahead. Nice job "news guys".

So believe it or not, Zeke bought the little bastard a beer, wiped his nose, and assured him there would be PLENTY of warm soup and a nice cot for his friend down at the Gospel Outreach Shelter on November 5th.

Ya know, Zeke doesn't act like a Dick all the time. I don't want anyone to confuse me with Dean "I hate the little people" Heller.

Why There are No Conservative Blogs No More

Look. I know every little Punk Blogger from here to Casablanca has as opinion why all the Conservative Blogs have gone Bye Bye.

But Zeke knows the real reasons, so sit down and listen up.

1. Conservative have no sense of humor. And since Internet usually equals "funny", Conservatives avoid it like Martin Luther King Boulevard. Although Ron Paul People use "the Blogs", there ain't nothin' even slightly funny on their pages.
2. Wise Guys, like today's Republicans are criminals and know that written words are bad. So the Idiom "Never write nothin' down". 'Nuff said.
3. Unlike talk radio and FOX News, ya can't yell on a blog. I mean OTHER THAN ZEKE.
4. When you write down the Conservative agenda, the paper or monitor occasionally catches on fire to the sound of demonic chanting. I guess ConBloggers got sick of scraping burned plastic off their GIANT Virgin Old Growth Oak Desks in their mansions in Incline Village.
5. They are scared of Zeke. And they should be. Stupid Punks.
6. The President can't read, so out of respect they have stopped writing.
7. There is no WiFi when you are cruising around in the ocean in yer 128' Custom Yacht or on their Gulf Stream in route to the French Riveria.
8. I forget what eight is for, but
9. Their butler can't speak English: so no one can write it for them.
10. They are all "Moderates" now. The only Conservatives left are Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove. And they are too busy trying to STEAL the 08 Election to write a stoooopid blog.

STEAL THE VOTE 08: Washoe Commish Larkin's Evil Plan

What is the Freakin' Deal with Republicans trying to USE their VAST POWER to win and even STEAL Elections?

Washoe County Commission Chair Robert "Boss Hogg" Larkin has yet another plan to make sure HE and his Cabal of Evil GOPers win re-election.

And it goes like this: Democrats are MUCH more likely to vote early. Larkin knows if he can CONFUSE Voters, and make it MORE DIFFICULT for them to turn out, it would be good for him and his Evil Party.

So under the GREAT RUSE of "Budget", Tsar Larkin has REDUCED the number of Early Voting sites in Washoe County to 16, from 24 in 2006.

Which SUCKS. For ALL CITIZENS. Voting is an American Value. So Larkin is acting UN AMERICAN and ZEKE HATES that CRAP!

If YOU DO TOO, Call Lord Robert Larkin at
775-328-2000 or email his Holiness HERE

Tell him to START ACTING LIKE AN AMERICAN and

reinstall the missing 8 Early Voting locations!

You may want to remind him that as an elected offical, his job is to do the WILL of the people and if he doesn't; well, we can UNELECT him on November 4th.

Zeke Lowered the Reno Blog Bar. Seriously.

Of course after a hard Saturday night down at the Dive Bar, things are often a bit fuzzy for Zeke.

Although it really is starting to feel like some of the OTHER Nevada political blogs are starting to sound a bit like ZEKE SAYS SO. Don't believe me? Go look for yourself.

I notice one blog has started the FIRSTNAME "POINTED INSULT" LASTNAME PROGRAM. I may not be the first to do it, but I didn't see any one Blogging in NV doing it til ZSS showed up. And I ain't naming names, but Run-DMC would call that Stone-Cold Bitin'.

Another top notch Blog has picked up the Zeke-Tested Childish Insult Headline, like "Ron Paul Supporters Smell". Another biter.

Then, there is a long running blog that has, over night, started writing in 1st person narrative just like Zeke. And throws stupid "asides", too. Like Zeke. Filthy Punk.

And best of all some of the "serious" political Blogs have started using freaking HUMOR, thus making them somewhat readable to easily distracted Zeke. This is a good thing, so no insult is needed.

One HUGE political blog even added a sexy Tag Cloud like Zeke. Which is weird 'cause I bet most people have no idea what a Tag Cloud really is. Do ya?

Now of course the whole Zeke site hasn't been completely ripped off yet. I mean nobody else is bringing you Election Odds or Dumb Polls Funny Graphics or has a Kick Ass Blog Swag Store.

ZEKE SAYS SO is definitely the only Blog also completely written by a drunk felon. Don't ask. I was framed anyway.

The biggest impact of this Biggest Little Blog is that last week Zeke ACTUALLY SAW A SPELLING ERROR ON THE DESERT BEACON BLOG. Talk about ripping off my style, I copyrighted speling© errors for Christ sakes!

So you haters out there: Zeke has made an impact. An UGLY, MESSY Impact, like a wreck between two of those little circus midget clown cars. Horrible, but Hilarius.

And it is a good thing.

Yer welcome, Punks.

Nevada Ron Paul Gang To Sue Their Own Busted Party

Could it get worse for the NV GOP? Well, yeah. Their wieners could fall off.

Sorry about that. It's the worst thing Zeke can think of. I am a Bad Man.

But with the GOP's 3rd attempt at a State Convention spinning down in flames (Just like Zeke Said So 6 weeks ago), and the Ron Paul gang suing the Party over their plan to APPOINT National Delegates, things are REALLY bad.

Oh yeah, Obama is now ahead of McCain in the Nevada Polls.

And Jill Derby outraised their SITTING Congressman, Dean "Vanilla OutKast" Heller in the 2nd Quarter.

Also Jim "Lost Puppy" Gibbon's approval ratings are approaching PI.

And Zeke is STILL posting this comedic zany picture of their weak ass candidate.


Yeah things are VERY Bad for the NV GOP. Maybe they should just stop trying completely.
They are trying, right?

Latino's Hate McCain

Ya know how the Media keeps covering that "Story" about how Latino Voters "Have a Problem with Obama"? How Hillary was soooooo much better with "them"?

Hey! The Media is making up a story that ain't true. Go figure.

In a recent poll of Latino Voters, McCain only was rolling with 19% support. 19%!

Look, if you have a Percentage next to your name in a poll, and it is LOWER then Jim "I Luv Elko" Gibbons' 21% Approval Rating, then YOU SUCK, Buddy.

It is Juan "El Mucho Lamo" McCain's incredibly crazy high self-reported goal to get 40 freaking percent of Latino votes this fall, and he ain't even HALF WAY there? Now THAT is a story. Here's the headline: "McCain Sucks at Something Else".

Does the AMERICAN PRESS really consider what they do to be based on fact? Or is their coverage topics created after sitting in a TJ Whistle Barber chair for a couple hours?

You and Zeke know the answer to that one. But will the Swinging Silver State voters buy it?

Zeke wonders. How dumb are we, after all?

GUV: To Do List

Colbert:Invent Faster Drills

Speaking of Trent Baldwin

Everybody favorite, (Well Judge "Pachyderm" Polaha anyway) Candidate Trent "Slippery" Baldwin has been a BUSY BOY!

The Trentster has launched his new website![LINK] Yeah!

But wait a minute! There is no content?
Just a top banner and some buttons that don't mean anything?

Whoa, I feel a Zeke Metaphor coming on here! Man I wish I stayed in school past 9th grade, I could be so damn witty with this one...

Ok How about this:
"Trent Baldwin's New Campaign Website is just a Hollow Shell of what it pretends to represent. Just like Trent Baldwin's residency claim. I wonder if at least the website actually lives in AD30?"

I wonder how long it will take Ol' Carpetbagger to get the page finished after this post goes up?"
Let's see. 10:14am right now...
Tick tock tick tock.

And Now a Word From Our Greedy Sponsor

Believe it or not, there is some things of value on this website.

The Zeke Swag Store is OPEN!

Yes these items are actually real and for sale.

So CHECK IT OUT.

Sorry, we sold out of Clinton Tear Mops, Obama Purple Kool Aid, Ron Paul Tin Foil Hats and McCain's "Unfunny Jokes Vol 12" Books. But the Trent Baldwin "CarpetBags" and Dean Heller Dead Polar Bear Plush Toy will be available soon.

Hypothetically You Suck, Buddy

What is the deal with people, mainly Republicans who dodge tough questions they don't wanna answer, by saying "I don't deal in Hypotheticals".

WHAT?

WHY?

How in the hell do you expect to be prepared for ANYTHING if you don't wanna consider the possibilities that MAY occur. I heard Carly Fiorina say is like 5 freaking times this morning on "Meet the Press". Like a Broken Record she was.

If people like Bush, Rumsfield, Rice, Gates, McCain and Fiorina don't believe THINKING about what HORRIBLE things MAY happen, why is the Jumping Jesus Lizard are we letting them HANDLE ANYTHING FOR US?

Look at it like this. If Zeke thinks hypothetically , "I wonder what will happen if I hit that cop over the head with a beer bottle", I may think about what it would be like to spend the weekend out at the Parr lockup, hypothetically. And what it would hypothetically be like having to talk to my PO about it; and pay a huge fine; and go to Prison. Hypotetically, of course.

Well, it WOULD SUCK. So, THANKS TO THINKING HYPOTHETICALLY, I won't be crowning Johnny Law tonight. Or any night. In REALITY.
See how that works McCain?

In other words thinking about future events or situations is a GOOD THING, ya dipsticks! It keeps you from doing DUMB things!

If some of our Elected Knuckleheads and Voters had "Dealt in Hypotheticals" in the past, we may have done a couple HUGE THINGS differently:

• Not Attacked Iraq
• Not Elected Bush Again
• Been Ready for Katrina
• Skipped the Bush Tax Cuts in 2001
• Realized Al-Qaida was Gonna Attack us
• Wondered why Cheney wanted to be the VP and not Prez
• Saw that Jim Gibbons would be unfit as Governor
• Realized the Press would act sexist to a Woman Candidate
• Attacking Iran would be a Horrible Idea(Coming soon)

There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between "Looking into a Crystal Ball" and "Examining Possible Scenerios". Going forward, Zeke recomends that any Candidate or Surragate who says "I Don't Deal in Hypotheticals" should have their Slippery Asses Kicked to the Curb.

Leaders need to THINK AHEAD.

Raising the Barr in Nevada

I met some people last night who knew who I am. A first. They even came to the Dive Bar looking for me. (I told you I was Zeke, Punks)

And they had something to say. Just like Zeke.

It was 2 former Republicans who told me flat out they HATE. John "Flipper" McCain. HATE him. Just like Zeke.

These guys, over some cheap Scotch, gave me more information about Bob "Cop Moustache" Barr, the Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate, then I wanted to hear. In fact, I don't remember much of what they said. Cheap Scotch.

The deal is, these guys had started out as Ron Paul supporters at the 1st GOP Convention, and were SUPER pissed about how THAT went down. But they also hated McCain's "Endless War" plan in Iraq and wanted to see some of the other typical Paul items; Federal Reserve/Wiretapping/Foreign Bases were not being addressed by Johney McLame.

I vaguely remember asking what the other Paul Supporters were going to do, and they said most if not ALL were going to be voting for Barr or writing in Ron Paul's name in November. Whoa. Even with blurry vision, Zeke realized that if that was really true, McCain may be in big trouble, here in Nevada.

After all, a couple percentage points is all it will take here, according to the "highly accurate" Polls. There was a interesting "self report" Internet poll the other day, which showed an even split between Obama and McCain, but 9% were claiming to be backing Barr. That is A LOT of people, if it turns out that way. Kinda makes sense though, after all, Ron Paul DID come in 2nd in Nevada in the January Caucus. If those Paul people actually join up in mass with "similar thinking" Barr, Nevada may become truely famous for being "The State That Changed The Election".

The guys from the bar would probably think that is pretty cool. Zeke does too.

Wedge Politics: GOP Make up yer Mind!

Ya know, all Zeke can figure is that the GOP "Forgot" to create a plan on what to do about the Latino Vote this fall.

On one hand, we got people like Dean "My Party Sucks" Heller, who wants to use Fear of the BROWN Man to split off White Rural voters to his side by doing things like proposing "English Only" Balloting. In other words, Burn the Latino Vote to get the Redneck Vote. Great plan Deaniac. Thanks for being part of the problem.

Then we have John "De-Mavricked" McCain who is actively courting Latino voters here in Nevada by bragging up his Anti-Abortion stance and "Conservative Values". I wonder if Latino voter will figure out that "Conservative Values" include deporting anyone that calls themselves Juan, instead of John.

Consider this: the same GOP Party that wants to have English Only as a Rule of the Land, also is running Spanish Ads in Vegas and has a Spanish Language Webpage in Florida. CHECK IT OUT

Even more telling was the great NPR "Story" this morning where Latina McCain supporters praised him WHILE SITTING IN THE MEMBERS ONLY COUNTRY CLUB AT ANTHEM IN HENDERSON, looking literally down on Las Vegas. Now THAT sure reflects accurately the typical Spanish speakers existence in Nevada.

That seemed, in Zeke's mind, as just a way for well off White GOPers to believe that the Republican Wedge tactic is NOT just a gussyed up Fear based racial Political Trick.

NOT McCain's New Nevada Ad

Although it sure seems like a McCain Ad. Same "Nasty Feel".

KJFK Webcast?

For those of you "Hi-Fi" people out there, there is an old technology called AM Radio. Locally at 1230 on the AM band is Reno's own "Non-Crazy" political talk show called "The Solution Zone" at 3-4pm every weekday afternoon. I heard that is when it is on, anyway.

See, Zeke ain't GOT an AM Radio and Zeke Doesn't really WANNA BUY an AM radio, either, even to listen to this reportedly great show. The last AM Radio I owned was in my 1977 Impala.

So my question is, is it possible to help get KJFK to start Webcasting their show? I don't know how the Radio Industry feels about Webcasting but Zeke thinks it's great. ya can listen ANYWHERE ya go and don't need to buy a AM Radio OR a 1977 Impala.

NV GOP Con: Yep 0 for 3

As you may have heard, The Busted and Broke Nevada GOP is going to try for the THIRD time at the end of this month to have their State Convention.

Since April's failed Convention, where the Ron Paul Supporters engineered a Rules change and the Party leaders recessed the event, there has been real trouble in the ranks.

Last month the Ron Paul crew tried to restart the event, but couldn't even get 1/2 of the number of Delegates to show to make a quorum. The State GOP Party's official attempt to restart the Event is July 26th and things are looking bad. The Party has extended it's RSVP deadline for a lack of numbers and is seriously looking like they may go 0 fer 3 if they don't do something quick.

It is a possibility that the St Paul National GOP Convention may not have ANY Nevada Delegates. Not a BIG possibility though, as I am SURE they will break their own rules, like usual, and send some kind of delegation regardless if they have a Successful Convention or not. They are, of Course Republicans and their belief is "Rules are for other people".

Bush is About To PARDON Himself. Yes Really.

Zeke is Still Here

Well Zeke realizes that Myrna over at Reno and It's Discontents Blog have exposed many, many good people to Zeke. And that is Good.

Myrna THANK YOU!

However, it is time to go out into the playground all alone and step away from Mommy's protective apron. If you like Zeke, don't worry. Even though some of the other local Bloggers are predicting (and hoping for) Zeke's demise, I ain't going nowhere. This bar stool is WAY TOO comfortable.

And besides, I got WAY MORE to say. Sometimes it ain't pretty. Hopefully, it will be funny.

STEAL THE VOTE 08: Coming to Nevada?

Ya know, after watching this hour and a half movie about the GOP's Election Stealing Program, I ain't gonna be surprised by anything done in November.

FREE FOR ALL-The Movie

The Washoe Counter Registar announced that he was gonna have 33% LESS Early Voting Locations this fall. Hmmm.
The fun begins...

Midnight Glow Train To Vegas

Zeke watches TV for 2 Reasons. One, to see if my sports bets are gonna pay off. And two, to get the SNOT scared out of me. The latter has been paying off well lately for me.

Honestly, with Popular Culture and The News having their daily competition to see who can MAKE UP better ways to SCARE US, it takes a pretty good (or bad that is) idea to really curl Zeke into a fetal ball of whimpering pulp these days.

But the History Channel pulled it off last week with their "Glow Train" episode of their "Mega-Disasters" show.

A "Glow Train" is a term (allegedly created by the people against their existence) to describe a train hauling Nuclear Waste in sealed supposedly unbreakable "dry casks". Sounds pretty scary already. The TV show, God Bless their Hearts, plays out a scenario where one of these trains derails, crashes and burns in Downtown Las Vegas. OK, that is VERY scary.

And the ensuing disaster causes massive evacuations and injuries and costs billions of dollars. Zeke can't tell you the exact projected numbers, 'cause I was hiding in my closet under my extensive raincoat collection during the last half of the show. The sound was a little muffled.

Anyway, the day after the show I worked up enough courage to do some research on how they plan to move the waste to Yucca "110% Safe" Mountain, and right away I came upon a great site that 'splained it all. [NNN] The NEIR Nuclear Notes website explained that the WHOLE THING is made up to scare people (like Zeke) into not wanting to do the Yucca Mt dance.

OK. I see their point. Maybe this is just an attempt by the huge "Anti-Radiation Poisoning" Industry to confuse us. After all, the NEIR Nuclear Blog has nothing to gain by having Waste Filled Trains rolling through RENO, ELKO and LAS VEGAS. It's not like this bunch of Nuclear Industry Board Members, Engineers and Radioactive Material Handlers have spent their WHOLE FREAKING LIVES on getting the "Glow Trains" up and running. Right? Nothing in it for them AT ALL.

And remember if an engineer says it's safe: NO WORRIES! Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, the Minneapolis Bridge Collapse, The Pinto, ANY Anti-depressant, the Challenger, The Columbia, the Titanic..blah blah blah...

HEY WAIT A MINUTE! Those things ended BADLY, as I recall.

Ya know, almost EVERY damn thing I have bought lately breaks or falls apart. It is almost like they are DESIGNING stuff to fail these days so ya gotta buy "another one".

HEY! I wonder if the guys at the NEIR Nuke-ya Blog actually work in the Nuclear CLEAN UP INDUSTRY as well? I bet FEMA will pay a pretty penny to scrub down a Radioactive Train Wreck. I bet, they might even, kinda, maybe HOPE a Glow Train goes Casey Jones: it'd sure help the Bottom Line. Maybe that is their Freaking Business Model! And maybe THEIR Blog is the actual "misinformation campaign"?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

If any one needs me, I'll be under the raincoats.

Happy Birthday

How to Eat Dinner This Fall

Oh, it's Coming. Count on it, people.

WAVES AND WAVES of Campaigners. Knocking on the damn door during dinner. Or during the last 30 seconds of The Game.

First they are gonna wanna see who you support. The next time they wanna stick a sign in yer window or yard. Then they want you to go and vote. Non-stop all the way up to November 4th.

Well here are 5 EASY THINGS you can do to Stop It.

1. Pick a Party. Being a Non-Partisan is a GREAT WAY to be a freaking target for both campaigns all summer. Being a Dem is cooler, but you can register as a Republican if ya want to. Just don't vote for McCain or Heller if ya have any sense.

2. When a campaign calls you or stops by, tell them YOU LOVE their candidate. If they think they "have you", they will leave you alone. Being wishy washy will get you return visits. At dinner time.

3. When Early Voting starts, GO AND VOTE. The first minute of the first day. Once you vote, you'll be off the campaign's lists and they won't "stop by" or Robocall you.

4. Put a candidate's sign in your yard for EVERY OFFICE on the Ballot. The campaigns will walk right by if they see their candidate or the opponents sign.

5. Get a GREAT BIG DOG and leave it in the front yard. Or justa "BEWARE OF HUGE DOG" sign. Drip some blood colored paint on it for good measure. Also disconnect your phone and move to Utah. Come back on Novemeber 5th.

Hey, don't say I never taught ya nothing.

AD32: 3 Down and 3 To Go

As you probably have noticed, Zeke has taken an interest in the Assembly District 32 Republican Primary. Why? Good Freaking Question. Only thing I can figure is that it's like watching Roller Derby: you don't really care about any of the players and you don't care who wins, but it sure is fun watching them smack each other around! See how I am? My PO says it is "anti-social behavior", but then again people DO watch roller derby.


I have discussed a bit about some of the players but here is a recap of the vast differences of the 6 Well-off White Male candidates, for those of you who weren't paying attention:

• Mike Nance: Hates Taxes and Criminals, Loves Guns and wants to kill all the CHEAT GRASS. A Good Plan.
• Mike Weber:Hates Taxes and John Marvel, Loves Guns and Pictures of his Truck. Also tells great Fractured Fairy Tales about The Poor Bears.
• Eric Smith:Hates Taxes, Loves Guns and funding Alternate Energy. SAY WHAT!? Also doesn't wanna deport everyone with a Spanish surname.(How DARE him be reasonable!)

OK that leaves 3 candidates to go. The incumbent, John Marvel, has been super busy at the Capitol trying to save us all having from all "living in a van, down by the river" by straightening out the budget. I will give him a break for not having set up a campaign website I can make fun of. He's been very, very, very busy. See Ironic Picture of Marvel's Solitare Game from last week:

But Glenn Dawson, who has been all over the TV and that crazy Ron Paul GOP Convention Thing last weekend, has not gotten around to creating a website. Did he forget? Is he running for office still? Well, he has been leading on the AD32 ZEKEPOLL for weeks so somebody must like him(at least one person with OCD, anyway).

And Don Gustavson, who had been the Assemblymen way back when, also has a webpage up and running although it is so damn boring I am loathing having to find something funny to say about it. I mean it is PLAIN. Like AMISH Plain. Nevada is supposed to be exciting and interesting. His site is like, Nebraskaesque. No wonder "Cowboy Johnny" Marvel beat him. Maybe he'll read this and put something interesting on the site. Reading his site is like reading some of the other political blogs around the State: factually correct and freaking boring. I'll get to him at some point. Maybe. If I don't fall asleep and drool all over the bar.

41 Days to go til the Primary. 10 days to go to change your registration to Republican, if ya wanna vote. And Yes, you can Write In Ron Paul if ya want.

Irrational Fear Spelled Backwards is President McCain

Well last week's big "talk show distraction" was McCain aide Charlie "My Soul Is" Black spouting off about how a terrorist attack would help McCain.

And over the weekend John "I am gonna lose Georgia" McCain jokingly announced that he would "come from behind in the last 48 hours in November".

Now some goofy Bloggers and Radio hosts have/will imply that there is some sort of October Surprise, involving Blackwater in the works, that will scare the crap out of America so much that they will vote for God-awful candidate McCain.

Um. Zeke has two thoughts about that theory. First, OF COURSE most Americans believe that the Republicans are better at "National Security" then the Democrats. The GOP have been feeding us that routine since Ike. Secondly, it is a completely CRAZY and inaccurate belief, but it is the popular thought in this Country.

Kinda like people believe that Republicans are also better at economic issues, which is easily dismissed with a couple sexy graphs you can find somewhere else. .

Now we both know that Bush 1 and 2 were in office when the last 2 Recessions started, and their actions/inactions didn't help. And the only wars we started in the past 30 years were kicked off by Republicans, usually looking to get re-elected. Being overly aggressive scares our enemys and non-enemys and usually makes us look like bad people. And it makes us enemies, who sometimes come a-knockin'.

I was pretty damn sure that Reagan was going to kill the whole planet with his little "Kill the Wabbit Evil Empire" Game of Chicken in the 80's. Remember that, old people? Zeke sure does.

But the GOP "Marketing Department" has us thinking it is the other way around. The question is, will the voters figure out that this is bull crap. I think many people have started to see the light and at some point, the population will come to the "critical mass" needed, so that if/when something horrible happens this fall, nobody blinks. Instead of "running to "Big GOP Daddy", the Country instead runs away from the Party/Candidate that MADE US a target in the first place.

And TOWARDS the candidate that actually will end the "Endless War".

Zeke says: "You ain't got nothin' to fear, BUT Fear, ya punk. So stop sniviling and wipe wour nose."
