Urban Poverty Law Center Seeks Intelligent Life In DC

At the Urban Poverty Law Center we are looking for any sign of intelligent life inside the beltway. Our media researchers have our satellite receivers directed at Washington DC, and are trying to decipher if any of the transmissions over the airways have any meaning. A few of our interceptions follow:

"We will default on our obligations unless congress raises the debt ceiling."

Really means we will default later on our obligations which will be more unruly in a few years if congress continues to raise our debt ceiling. Time to take the hit now. Bitter medicine, but needs to be taken.

"It is time for the rich to start paying their fair share of taxes."

Because we, in Washington, DC, do not have the courage to pry that greasy, grimy, engorged governmental teat out of our friend's mouths, we would much rather anger the wealthiest 1% of our citizens, who have for the most part worked hard to earn over $250,000 a year, which after taxes affords these pampered workaholics a solidly middle class lifestyle. No lobster, and no champagne and no trips to Martha's Vineyard for these wealthy bastards, but they can afford to buy health insurance for themselves and their families!

"Under my plan energy costs would necessarily skyrocket."

If you can still afford to buy energy enough to travel and stay warm, it is under taxed.

We are continuing to monitor the area known as the beltway for intelligent life.
As you can see from these few sited examples there is little hope of finding any intelligence over there. We are alone out here in fly-over country.

Urban Poverty Law Center Letters To and From a Son of a Bitch

If any of you are professionals with MD, and or PhD degrees and you wish to hunt Elk, this letter from my father from August 1, 1991 is full of great advice on how to insure your success. I give you this from his typewriter to the blogosphere:

August 1, 1991

Dear Jacky:

As you two set off into the wilds in pursuit of the larger of our North American ruminants I wanted to offer some ruminations on the subject of elking, why hunters, even medical specialists and an author, can, on rare occasions--fail.

First, the hunter has to be smarter than the elk. I have checked and have found according to experts that a top flight radiologist and a top flight emergency medicine specialist, combined, have about 1/2 percent the intelligence of the dimmest witted elk.
This is daunting. So maybe you should think about what the army special forces call "performance enhancer." This is a pill that makes ordinary soldiers able to leap tall buildings (or at least so it seems to them at the time) in a single bound. Smart pills could enhance your chances.

Secondly, go where the elk are instead of where the State tells you to go. Recent studies by elkologists show that the State always sends the hunter, especially the M.D., and in the case of the M.D,, Ph.D., into areas where elk have not been seen in the last 5000 years and six months, at least. These are the elkless tracts especially reserved for physicians and authors, who are, as we both realize, among the more gullible element of the population.

To succeed the physician should disguise himself as a window washer, truck driver, or bakery employee, for these members of the intelligentsia are always sent into the thick of the elk country from whence they emerge, without fail, with an average of a ton each of elk. The only thing to fear if this ruse works is the danger of being trampled by the jostling elk as they respond to the most awkward of calls. The hunter must be careful in these woods not to fart too loudly, as even this sound, ignored in the physician assigned hunt areas, can invoke dangerous attacks by herds of elk anxious to reply to any signal. In these areas they attack alarm clocks. They charge silent dog whistles, asthma victims who wheeze too profoundly, as well as frogs, crickets and hoot owls.

The elk must sense that the hunter has no college diploma. Even the faintest scent of academia will drive the elk many leagues distant. Therefore do not bathe, use deodorant, or speak words above one syllable for at least six weeks before the hunt. Incorrect grammar will also help pave the road to success. While in the woods pick your nose frequently and exclaim: "Well, shee-it, whar the fuck you reckin thelk is?"

This works every time.

I will be thinking about you as you set off into your assigned elkless regions. I hope this trip you won't have to haul some old man home every night to sleep in a soft bed and can wake early in the woods and have your first clean arrow shot before breakfast taking down a titan with a rack bigger than your car.

My heart thumps in anticipation of the steaks, the sausage, the roasts, and the hide. I'd like a hide as you know--just one will be fine. No need to save all those skins for me. Just one and I will have moccasins made for all of us. You know the place there that cures them, the animal stuffer.

As ever,


Old Grand-Dad

P.S. Infra-red satellite pix should pinpoint elk and are available to spies and Russian agents on a daily basis from the Pentagon.

Dear Dad,

You were right we did not kill an elk.

Love Jacky

Urban Poverty Law Center Letters To and From a Son of Bitch

I opened another one of the letters my father wrote me, which, as you know were placed in a trunk by my mother and never seen by me until now. My father left mommy for a carnival stripper, Lulu, back in 1973 after I was mangled by the John Deere Manure Spreader. We were close, very close up until he left. Other letters are on this site dated 3/7/11,2/12/11 and 1/18/11. The letters to and from a son of a bitch are only for entertainment and contain a snap shot of what one man was enduring in America and what he was thinking. With that explanation to the reader, I give you this:

My dear son:

Another day in bedlam. I worked very late last night and wrote 1500 of the 2000 words required for Nashville Magazine by tomorrow.

I was confronted on arising with a demand from Lulu that I call the Jaguar specialist in east Nashville immediately. After resisting I finally did call him. Bob Acuff is an honest mechanic and therefore not likely ever to prosper. He explained to me that Jaguars have underneath on either side of the transmission a tiny white plastic tube of 3/8" diameter which gets clogged with growth of some sort and this backs up the water from the air-conditioner and ultimately wets the floorboards of the car which then finally rusts and you have a horror story.

I had noticed the wet carpets in the car after our return from Florence. Lulu was in her sock feet and had complained of standing in water on her side, as it were. I thought it must be coming in from a leak, as it was raining much of the trip.

"Remove those mats immediately" quoth Honest Acuff, the honest mechanic after explaining what it was in all likelihood. Then he said to get the car up on the rack at the nearest service station and find the two little tubes and run something in very carefully and clean out the clog moss and some water would spill out and the car would be cured. I have to take Acuff aside and tell him how to handle this particular problem to his best advantage,

thusly:

-THE SKIT-

ACUFF: "Mr Maybolt, I will send for the car and have it brought in for this is potentially life threatening, I will have to have the car at least ten days and run some tests. If it is what I fear it is, the cost could run about $500--"

Maybolt: "Thank God, no more than that?"

Acuff: "For the parts, that is--"

Maybolt: "Oh--well."

Acuff: "The labor on this job runs another $500 but I can give you a discount and do it for $487,77."

Maybolt: "If that is all, then--"

Acuff: "There could be a bit more for the parts--I have to take the cumberbund off and rewind the axphyxiator courndum borger and depending on what I find-- it could run another $200, about, you know--"

Maybolt: "Ball park, I know--"

Acuff: "You know those cumberbund diddleedaddle dew-drop porgies, I am sure you have heard of them. But that's a Jaguar for you."

Maybolt: "I--ah--yess, I--uh, yeah, they are a mess. I'd fix it my self, but--"

Acuff: Mister Maybolt your time is too valuable to mess with something this minor, I realize you'd take it apart and--but why get your hands greasy?"

Maybolt: "Check, right."

Acuff: "And if you or Mrs. Maybolt could just give the tow truck driver a check for $650? That oughtta get us started. I have to pay for those parts when I get 'em, you know. Write out a check, cash to me personal, Bob Acuff."

Maybolt: "Six-fifty? O.K. I am so relieved it--"

Acuff: "Hold it--I'm talking old prices. Dang! I have the new prices here-- make the check $750."

Maybolt: (screaming) "What!"

Acuff: (sorrowful, placating) "I think I can find them parts at the old prices. If not I will absorb it. Say can we split the difference--$700 up front?"

Maybolt: (a sigh) "Fine, Mr. Acuff the check will be ready."

Acuff: "We will get the car in about an hour, Mr. Maybolt."

(I think I can sell this skit to Acuff for $7,000--a year for ten years--plus 30 percent of 100 percent of 4 percent of his gross
do-dhahomey, whatmalted whammogodzilla---right" Check!!!)

(Seriously)

I am getting shortness of breath and better close this and take a hot bath and go get the Jag fixed at the Shell Station with a straight paperclip and a little piece of copper wire. Then If I can find some fool with a similar problem I can become known as the Jaguar expert when that expensive water problem comes up and fix them for $1500 to $3,000 depending on what I find when I unwind the cumberbund-
-We will get through this and thanks for the help with it, and hugs for all the family OLD GRANDDAD FOO


Dear Dad,

Where is the Cumberbund located on a Jag?

Urban Poverty Law Center Offer To Dominique Strauss-Kahn

Socialist, socialite, and now allegedly French sodomite, Monsieur Dominique Strauss-Kahn, president of the International Monetary Fund is accused of forcing his monetary policies on an unwilling world! The portly and ribald sexagenarian who was set to challenge France's President Sarkozy in the general election next year is instead spending time in a New York City holding pen after he was accused of forcing his sexual policies on a common chamber maid at one of New York's finest hotels.

He has retained famed attorney, F. Lee Bailey, who in a statement to the press said that Mr. Strauss-Kahn is immune from prosecution as his position as leader of the International Monetary Fund allows him to screw anybody in the world with impunity. Mr. Bailey is sure the charges will be dropped by the Chamber Maid as soon as she is informed of the special importance of his client.

In a press conference, Strauss-Kahn said he used a technique passed along to him by former President Clinton, but when he tried to force his policy down the throat of the chamber maid, she refused to swallow it and instead is set to press charges against her sexual aggressor. He had been innocently reviewing the cache of pornography retrieved from the Bin Laden compound, in his underwear, when the chamber maid abruptly entered his hotel suite dressed very provocatively in a tight blue uniform dress and white orthopaedic shoes.

" She had that come hither look all chamber maids have while cleaning toilets and bathrooms," according to Strauss-Kahn, "and her skirt barely covered her calves and her breasts were forced hard against her dress...... What was I to think, this wench was merely there to clean my bathroom?"

"It is all a big misunderstanding. I thought she liked it when I overpowered her and forced her head into my more delicate area?"

The victim only spoke Spanish and her sobbing and garbled cries of no were misinterpreted by the friendly Frenchman as permission to proceed with the sodomy.

Further, Strauss-Kahn was convinced her tears were tears of joy! "I am truly sorry I misread her reaction to my sexual advance. I have only done this many, many times in the past but the object of my desires always understood my mistake when I pleaded my case afterwards. But you see, I had a plane to catch and did not have time to fully explain what had just happened to the two of us. We had just shared a very special moment. Can I help it if she took it the wrong way? Women, who can truly figure them out? "

As President of the Urban Poverty Law Center, I can accept Mr. Strauss-Kahn's explanation and will offer him a position as an unpaid volunteer as our Chief Financial Officer. I believe that I can train him not to abuse the females here in Cedar Grove and will give him permission to use my mother's merkin drawer when he feels "pressure". I feel certain he will not be able to rebound from these serious allegations. It is like being ask when you stopped sodomizing your step-daughters? The damage is done no matter the verdict. I believe the world will miss this man's unique talents. This is a great loss for the IMF. I wonder if the world's fiat money can hold on much longer with the loss of this great, great man. I predict the price of oil and gold will surge on this sad, sad news.

Urban Poverty Law Center Exposes Ethanol In Gasoline Hoax

Been farming, tearing up 70 acres over on the Coxville, Tn farm as the rains have abated and the ground is drying out. I was over buying fuel, diesel for our big John Deere tractor and discussing our fuel problem with the owner of the BP fuel distributorship in Alamo, Tn. Our equipment is constantly clogging fuel filters and our big tractor will not run without missing and sputtering when the fuel level drops to a third of a tank of diesel.

Mac Connally, said we were more than likely been buying biodiesel which has fallen in quality since animal fats have been added to the mix and the fuel will layer out with the lighter oils going to the top of the tank and then gelling with the least bit of cold weather added. He never carried the biodiesel for this reason. My pal J. Luckey who farms my mother's place in Cedar Grove, said he has a pile of filters bigger than a small elephant, all clogged by the stuff in biodiesel. He will no longer run his equipment on biodiesel. We also broke down on the bull dozer with this same diesel. Cat filters are expensive at $28 a pop and having to change one every other day is frustrating. I will say no to biodiesel!

Now on to the gasoline with 10% ethanol. Bad for boat motors, bad for lawnmowers, bad for automobile fuel mileage. My experience follows:

I have a 2009 Ford Mustang GT with a 5 speed manual transmission. If I run the gas ethanol mix I average 24.6 miles per gallon. If I run straight gasoline 87 octane, I get 28.8 miles per gallon. This was not just one tank this was with multiple events as I can not always find pure gasoline when away from Cedar Grove. We are fortunate to have a redneck oil distributor who provides the locals with the real stuff. This is a 17% greater fuel efficiency sans the ethanol. I am told that E 85 fuel provides even worse results.

Our Greenies in the Gov are hoaxing the public. They say they want us to save gasoline and want better mileage, and they really are in on the ethanol mandates to have us buy more fuel so they get the 60 cent per gallon tax to fund their lavish lifestyles.

I, Jackson Delano Maybolt, cry "FOUL". RUN A TANK OF GASOLINE AND COMPARE IT TO YOUR GASOHOL TANKS IF YOU CAN. YOU WILL SEE A STARK DIFFERENCE.

If all 200 million cars in the US got 17% better mileage we could cut our dependence on foreign oil by at least 5%. WOW!

Urban Poverty Law Center On Osama Bin Laden News

It did not take President Barack Hussein Obama long to hop out of the punch bowl, towel off, and announce how he personally masterminded the killing of our greatest enemy since Uncle Audie. On the news of the end of the war on terror, TSA officials have agreed temporarily to stop groping super models and children at our nation's airports for one week. Metal markets hiccuped but will not be swayed by this fantastic dollar funded assassination. The dollar will continue to slide in value even if all foreign hostilities in the Middle East are stopped today.

The Royal Saudi family declared free oil for the west tomorrow in celebration which caused a ripple in the oil trading markets until someone read the announcement carefully and determined it was only a play on the famous gag sign at the bar "free beer tomorrow". Colonel Gaddafi, has been in contact with me about my offer of sanctuary here in Cedar Grove, TN. Peace and prosperity are just around the corner. Bring our troops home.

Now the real question is why do we no longer need Al Qaeda? What caused them to outlive their usefulness to our masters?

China, is the short answer. The Chinese have stepped up and bettered their military and economic conditions while we have been spinning our wheels chasing phantoms in the Middle East, and now we can bring our military men and women home and keep them up at great expense to use as a balance against the great yellow threat from the far east or our near west.

The long answer is the sliding value of the dollar and our deficit. We can no longer afford to spend money fighting phantoms. The money and the strength of the dollar has to be rejuvenated and the illusion of peace with prosperity must be attained at all costs. The rise in the price of oil and gold must be reversed if the worlds bankers are to keep it all for themselves. The people are waking up to unpleasant facts.

Slavery is alive and well in the world. Taxation of the many for the benefit of the few is losing its luster. God given rights to life, liberty and property are understood around the world. A man's labor belongs to him and to him alone, and any government that sets laws and taxes to any other code is illegitimate. The fairest tax code would be to tax labor and production at the percentage of public workers vs the number of citizens.

To use the United States as an example. Population is roughly 330 million. Public sector workers are 3.3 million. Set the flat tax at 10% with a 5% value added tax to fund the lavish parties in Washington,DC and the occasional burst of cruise missiles fired at phantoms around the world who have fallen from favor.

I already miss Osama Bin Laden and wonder what plans his cells of fanatical followers embedded deeply in the fabric of our free society have in store for US? The news of his death is sure to trigger something horrible. That is the way these things go,

Holding my breath, hoping and praying the news of the death of Bin Laden does not trigger a series of attacks in revenge
on our innocents in this country and around the world. I am,

Urban Poverty Law Center Proposes Rejoining the British Commonwealth

"I read the news today, Oh Boy. About a lucky man who made the grade,
he blew his mind out in a car, he hadn't noticed that the lights had changed." The Beatles more or less

I was into my mother's merkin drawer last night remembering her and watching the reruns of the Royal Wedding of Prince William Phillip Howard, Moe, Curly, Albert, Spike Lee to that vision of loveliness, now Duchess Catherine Middleton , when I had an epiphany.

Since we left the Monarchy in 1776, we in America have had a void which is filled in England by the British Monarchy. Say what you will about that crazy bunch, but they have a place in their society and the Brits, as their subjects can point out with pride, enjoy a Monarchy steeped in a long tradition of being something special and bigger than the sum of its parts. The Monarchy represents life and the human spirit with everything that is both good and bad.

From Henry the VIII with his penchant for lopping off heads, to the Goofy Prince Charles who doesn't seem to use his, until his Mummy, Queen Elizabeth, brilliantly arranged his marriage to the beautiful, tall, and talented Diana, who gave her life to see the Monarchy infused with new blood; jolly good results with William and Harry. Her gift was her sons to the British Royalty, who thus far have behaved with class and good manners in keeping with their positions.

They have both been in the armed services and have volunteered to serve on the front lines of what ever battle their bastard step child, America, has gotten them into at the moment. They have had the best educations money could buy and the Brits and I am very proud of the way these two fine men, born into unimaginable wealth and privilege, have not run wild by abusing their birthrights. I saw the best and the brightest standing up at the alter that day, representing the hope for the future of western society. I was proud of my Anglo-American heritage for the first time in my life and now I get it.

I now wonder if King George made a mistake by letting us go so easily. Our government seemed to work well for a couple of hundred years, but now we have a thugocracy without a doubt. The parasitic nature of this thugocracy is killing and draining the life's blood of our society. Where are our traditions? President Obama has sullied the deep ties that bind England and the United States in an attempt to complete the pillaging and plunder of the greatest free nation in the world with his frequent snubs of our best and brightest ally. What is he thinking? Even with their doughy complexions, and their horrible teeth, their influence in the world, brought a semblance of civility that lives on today in India, the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. They even tried to impose a rule of law in the Middle East and Africa. Nice try.

Mother Maybolt used to say, "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!" Sure, they advanced their own wealth on the backs of the native populations, but consider that a tax for civility and teaching people about the law and private property rights, and the healthful benefits of clean water and sewage management. Some learned the lesson well, and others were not able to grasp it.

Anyway President Obama was paid back in spades when Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge wisely refused to include the Obamas on the guest list to the Royal social event of the century, blocking that inevitable "turd in the punchbowl" moment their attendance would have heralded. Instead, President Barack Hussein Obama roasts Donald Trump, an American Citizen and businessman, in a petulant display of poor breeding at the Correspondents Dinner, when he should have been dressed up and toasting the future king and queen of England! What a big disappointment this fellow has turned out to be. Obama must think he is king or something. He represents what is wrong with American politics: thuggery, pure, simple, and evil! The British recognize our plight and have wisely pulled back a safe distance away from the pending great American Train wreck.

I, Jackson Delano Maybolt, believe the red states must make the move to rejoin the British Empire and must hold elections to secede from the Union. I believe their traditions and values are more in line with our values here in the red states, than those of the blue state communists. I could be mistaken, but I do not think so. God save the Queen!

I have toiled to long expressing my concern for this nation, and hope the Tea Party can change its course, but the momentum seems to be to great to stop. After the crash I feel certain King William and Queen Catherine will be there to extend a helping hand and all will be well in the Colonies back under the British Flag where they belonged in the first place.

I want to be the first to propose a new movement in the United States. Forget Tea Partiers, Birthers, republicans, democrats, and the others. I am founding the Rejoiner's Party which is dedicated to making the United States colonies of the greatest empire ever put together. I hope you are standing with me, after all the British have been at it a long, long time. And God Damn it, any people that can train that many horses to do anything more than just eat hay all day and fart has my unyielding respect.

In Sum, I felt a pride for my British ties when I watched the beautiful wedding of William and Catherine, and realize I have lost my respect for this country and its leaders who have stunk up Washington and stolen from the people to the point of certain ruination. I felt a peaceful joy viewing this British wedding spectacle, which was a great symbol and sign of hope for the future of Great Britain.

I am repulsed when I see our leaders in action being petulant and acting like sow's ears at Correspondent's Dinners. It is time to flush this toilet bowl full of turds that have infiltrated our government and fill it with some of the cleanest and freshest water available. Replace the stool with patriots of the finest tradition. This is our last chance, America. Send the parasites packing.

The people have a chance to pull the handle in 2012, and from the looks of things it can not come too soon.
