Re: Are You Pissed Off? Tell us about it.  6/24/2008 - 3:52pm
   Well let's see, pissed off? Hmmmmmmmmmm. They are building a pretty nice new set of digs downtown. BOK Center I think they are going to call it. Let's see. Park a damn mile away and walk to a so-so groups concert in January when it's 18 degrees out and the wind is a mild 40 mph as they tend to be in Oklahoma occasionally. Why walk a mile? Because the idiots that came up with the plan allowed for no parking!!!!!!! Maybe the late great George Carlin was right, "There's nothing wrong with the politicians, we voted for them so there must be something wrong with us!"
   
   Let's see, they want to suck 2 BILLION dollars out of us over the next 12 years to pay for repairs to streets that we've already paid for.
   
   What else, oh, let's build a new ball park downtown for the Drillers!!!! Let's not. Let's refurbish the park they are currently in and use the money saved to fix a pothole, or a bridge on I44 that's droping chunks on the people driving under it or build a parking lot for the Damn BOK center! Sheesh this ain't that tough folks. Hey, I'm a season ticket holder. I like parking close to the yard. I don't want to walk a mile, and won't to see the Drillers play.
   
   What you have is politicians lining their pockets with kickbacks from the construction and contracting companies doing the work. Or paying back favors owed when they got elected. A little common sense goes a long, long way. Kathy Taylor apparently thought GOD said electic fence when he said common sense and said she and her fellow councilors would pass.
   
   How about being without power for two weeks and then the people that couldn't get it back on wanting to raise the rates. How about rebating me my hotel and meal expenses I incurred because you were to tight and to stupid to bury the damn power lines?
   
   And then, to top it all off, we have to complete morons running for the job of running this country. C'mon folks, would you really want Obama in charge if the feces hits the oscillating rotary? And McCain? Well I like him better but you better look hard at the VP on his ticket. He'll be one missed heartbeat away from the White House. And that missed heartbeat might not be that far off. Then congress can't even manage to place a moratorium on the gas tax we pay per gallon, about 55 cents per gallon, because they have the worst addiction of all. Yep, not crack, not meth, but other peoples money!!!!!!!!!!
   
   
   So there I was a little pissed, but like the wife says, about what?
