Okay, I was upstairs playing Spider-Man 2 on Gamecube. Well my son (Marc) comes up to see what I am doing, and I was playing the part where Spider-Man is chasing Black Cat across the city. For those of you that don't know her . . .



What are you doing Daddy?

I'm playing Spider-Man.

What's Spider-Man doing?

He's chasing Black Cat, son.

Why?

Because he likes her.

(Then the scene is over and Black Cat leaves.)

Where he go?

Black Cat is a she.

A sheep?

No, a she, like Mommy.

Ohh like Mommy?

Yeah, Daddy is a man, your a boy, Mommy is a woman.

Ohh. (A pause as if he was contemplating.) I like a woman, Daddy.

I know you do son, I know you do.

That boy is such a flirt. Too funny. Kids, huh? 8-)

I know a lot of people are talking about the death of Gerald Ford. And I am sure that a lot of people have more to say on him then I do, since his presidency ended before I was even born. But something as simple as making a guest appearance on the Simpsons, tells a lot about a president.

Of some of the articles and whatnot that I have read today, the one description that really stuck with me regarding Mr. Ford's presidency, was the he was the "quiet president" (I think I read that on MSN.com's homepage). And for some reason that seem to fit to me. Yet again, his presidency was over before I was even born.

I saw pictures of Mr. Ford that accompanied the articles that spoke of him, and he just really looked like a "guy". Not a politician, just a "guy". A "guy" that did a lot of good for this country. Despite the flack that he gets for pardoning Richard Nixon, people don't look at why he did it. He didn't think that Nixon should get away with what he did. He did however remember that small little thing that most people don't, "the needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few, or the one". He didn't do it for approval ratings, he did it for the country. A country bogged down with the "drama" of a fallen president won't pay attention to the needs of the present. Makes sense to me. Look at the state we are in cleaning up after a past mistake made by a former president.

Can't really say much more. I'm just a youngin'. Maybe someone of older, wiser times can help me appreciate Mr. Ford's presidency as much as I do the man.

Man, Gerald Ford and James Brown . . . boy did this holiday season get shit on.

"Hi. I'm Gerry Ford. I just moved here."

"Former President Gerald Ford? Put her there!"

"Tell me Homer, do you like football?"

"Yes, Mr. Ford!"

"Do you like nachos?"

"Yes, Mr. Ford!"

"Well why don't you come over and watch the game, and we'll have nachos. And then some beer."

 

 

Adam:  Miss Valkyrie, of "The Sword of Justice & Other Stuff", for your contribution, great contribution to my posts, and blogstream in general, I would, on behalf of all of blogstream, like to present to you this Mitch Pileggi Collage.  We found some of the best pictures that we could find, to make this collage really memorable.  Miss Valkyrie would you like to come up here and recieve your collage?

Miss Valkyrie:  Thank you Adam. Thank you all so very much.  I would like to thank Mitch Pileggi for being such a {now what did Miss Valkyrie call him . . . ohh yeah} tall mountain of man.  I would like to thank Adam for being so comfortable with his sexuality to be able to search the internet for pictures of a man, instead of his usual, well-endowed and overly top preportioned pictures of women.

Adam:  Thank you Miss Valkyrie.

Miss Valkyrie:  I would also like to thank Pioneer for making blogstream.  Lastly I would like to thank all the Norse Gods and Thor for his unwavering support in what I do here.  Thank you, thank you all so very much.

Adam: Again thank you Miss Valkyrie.  Our next award will be for a male member of blogstream, so the collage award will be much more exciting to research.  Although, I do have a sudden urge to watch X-Files.  Tune in later tonight, here on AWN for the Blogstream Pimp Awards, hosted by the biggest pimp of blogstream, Big Shane. Good night everyone!

 

Sorry had to at least get one picture of Scully in here Miss Valkyrie.  8-)~

Hope you like it Miss Valkyrie!

 

 

 

How do you look at justice?  Is justice served with a swift sword or a gentle hand?

Justice shall be swift and unrelenting.  There shall be no mercy for the craven coward that hides behind the masque of "mistrial".  The cowardly scurvy dog that doesn't pay a moment of justice for a lifetime of injustice that happened in a small moment of time.  Yes, where is justice for the fallen ones of these animals' acts?  Where are they do feel justice of the inadequacies of monsters' actions?

There is a man on this planet, who has wronged someone.  A man whose deeds should be punished with the swift blade of justice.  A swift cut to the throat.  A designated attack that shall render upon him the same feelings that he left to his victim.  No not his victim, the woman that survived and lived on past his attack.

Dante wrote about the nine circles of hell, that Brutus, Cassius, and Judas Iscariot, were doomed to an eternity of being chewed in the mouth of the Devil Himself.  But how is the betrayal of Julius Cesar or Jesus Christ any different that the abominations that happen here and now?  Okay, the son of god, maybe, but Julius Caesar, I mean come on!  Where is the justice for the individual person?  The people who have been wronged and whose attackers and violators have fallen through the cracks of  the pathetic justice system of this country?  Is there any justice for them?  Or are we to just sit back and take it and not complain?  Fuck no!  These people must face the consequences for what they have done.  And dammit, I can't wait for karma, and god to intervene.  I mean for some, they die with no justice.  Is that okay?  I mean what the hell is wrong with things, that we let these events take place?

It's an oxymoron, really, as I don't think that the death penalty is the answer, either.  Is there someone of pure mind and body that exact this punishment for us?  Some liberator, you ask?  Well unfortunately there is no Batman in the real world, to mete out justice for those that have been wronged.  So what are we to do?

Can you tell me?

What would you do?
