Excuse me for my foul language, but the direction this country’s direction is bullshit. I am 22 years old. I REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE MISTAKES OF THE RICHEST PEOPLE IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

In case you didn’t know, and thank you Tuesday Morning Quarterback for enlightening me, we have successfully DOUBLED our national debt in the course of 10 years.

Oh, 2x doesn’t sound like that much? Well how about these figures: after-inflation adjusted national debt in 1979 was $1.5 trillion. That isn’t 1979 dollars, that is today’s dollars value.

So over the summer our country decided that an $800 billion increase to our national debt was in order, to fund things like the war in Iraq. Mind you, I have a counter at the top of my website, and it shows that at this moment in time that $556,543,210,000 has been spent on the war in Iraq, TOTAL.

That’s 5 years guys! I mean that’s a lot of money, but that’s hardly over half of the increase the government asked for! I mean what else are they spending MY MONEY ON???

Now if this didn’t directly affect me, I wouldn’t care so much – but when I put in hundreds of dollars a month in something I am supposed to see every penny of back, if not more, in Social Security, I get pissed. But no…. the government just takes, takes, takes.

Now my social security is one thing, and I am PISSED BEYOND BELIEF about the income taxes and everything – but I mean seriously, I get my wages taxed, indiscriminately, and then all my other shit gets taxed too? I have to pay taxes twice? And our debt is higher than ever??

I refuse to pay for our government’s mistakes. I will do everything I can to bitch and moan and bring light to this issue. I am not going to get social security, I know that. Besides the fact that I put in thousands upon thousands of dollars in it, I will never see it again.

Taxes are high. The state of California takes hundreds of dollars a month from me, the Federal Government even more so. Now our debt is out of control, we are fighting a war long since it was worth fighting.

Industries refuse to make new cars running oil free. We are FORCED to pay for foreign oil. We literally pay for it with blood, sweat, and tears. Washington is f’ed up. Washington needs to change. What will either of these two candidates do for us? What will they do for me?

Yay, I managed to get YouTube videos on here now!!

Well, everyone seems to think this guy is an idiot, and everyone seems to think this guy is on his soapbox to some level equal to Bill Maher, or anything like that.

Well, honestly, for all you people who are ripping him for giving his opinion, you are the biggest hypocrites in the world. How dare you try to shut him up and call him an idiot for speaking his mind, when you are doing the exact same thing by ripping him! And beyond that, this is an AP released video, which means he was being INTERVIEWED. Someone ASKED him what he thought, so he answered. Who asked any of you guys what you thought about Matt Damon? NO ONE! So why are you sharing? I didn’t ask you what you thought about it.

Now beyond the merits of whether we all have the right to debate anything (which the Constitution joyfully allows all of us Americans to do), people seemed turned off at the fact that some ‘do-nothing’ $20 million-a-movie actor who spends a ton of time doing charity work that no one else wants to do, donates money to causes no one else does, actually speaks his mind. I think we owe it to him to actually understand his argument.

The whole time he is not getting on Palin so much in the sense of who she is, how much experience she has, or what party she runs for. He does not once say he is in love with the Obama campaign.

What does he say? I will quote it for you guys, “I don’t know anything about her. I don’t think in 8 weeks I will know anything about her.” Does that sentence sound like he disagrees with the strategy put forth by the McCain/Palin ticket? NO! He is simply stating that it is an absurd idea to vote for someone who you have not gotten to know within 8 weeks.

No one saw this pick coming, probably not even Palin. The point is she has not gone through the primary process, she has not gone through the rigors of a campaign across the country.

She could very well be the perfect person for Vice President, but the point is WE DON’T KNOW, or at least I don’t (and neither does Matt Damon).

If she does become Vice President, I wish her luck, and I would hope she is the right candidate, but I agree, the notion of electing someone 8 weeks after we get introduced to her is a little bit of a crazy idea.

I just wish she threw her hat in the ring a year ago so we all could get to know each other a little bit better .

Peace

Well, it happened. Just like we all knew it would. We all knew just how lucky we are to have a Hall of Fame quarterback to lead us to the promised land year after year. No one needs to remind us that.

But for anyone who saw this coming – on this day – at this moment – well, they might not be lying after all.

There are many times that I, or my dad, will ‘predict’ exactly what is about to happen in any given Patriots or Red Sox game. Whether it be the home run we need that doesn’t happen, or the pick-6 that will turn the game around, we all try to ‘sense’ what is about to happen.

This year was one of those years, that I think everyone had a feeling would come back to bite us in the ass. After the whole Super Bowl XLII debacle (infamously simplified by beloved Bill Simmons as ’17-14′), this upcoming season has had the black cloud hanging over it.

To be honest, we were due. You would imagine that Green Bay would have been due a while ago with their run with Brett Favre, or Indianapolis with Peyton Manning, but in reality Favre suffered through some very awful teams, and Indy has lived in New England’s shadow the whole time, while constantly taking the high road.

I hate the Colts – they are truly my enemy. But I have a ton of respect for them. They have not had such a catastrophic injury ‘due’ to them by any means.

With the whole spygate scandal following the team, and Bill Belichick’s less than friendly attitude to the media, or other coaches, lightning was bound to strike us.

I hope to goodness that Tom Brady is going to be fine. He is one helluva football player, and gets the spotlight turned on him pretty unfairly.

TMZ follows him around with his uber-babe Giselle, when it appears all he does is run ‘errands.’ He doesn’t do a million commercials like Peyton Manning, or Tony Romo. He keeps to himself, and does everything he can to win.

Routinely he does the most to be prepared the best. If his season truly is over, I feel bad not only for our fans, but for him as well.

Our franchise quarterback is on the shelf – hopefully Matty Cassel can carry us on his back…
