Obama And Spanish For America

One of the problems with electing a pointy headed intellectual as President is they have no real world experience. Barrack Obama thinks forcing Spanish on children and adults is a good thing. This is America Mr Obama, I can learn any damn language I want sir. I don't need your help on that matter. I am a cab driver in Tampa Florida and WE are required to speak ENGLISH. We have drivers from all over the world and if they pick up customers that speak their language, I am sure they talk their tongue. However, English is mandated not any other language. There are many reasons for that such as maintaining continuity and a stable Culture. I think you have been hanging out with your buddy El Presidente Chavez from Venezuela the socialist who has endorsed you for President. Maybe we should learn Ebonics or something.

T. Boone Pickens TV Commercial

T Boone Pickens was an oil man all his life and beleves we can solve our energy problem and break the back of OPEC. By focusing on Domestic Energy Resources like Coal, Natural Gas, Hydro, Bio Fuel, Wind, Solar and Nuclear we can become energy independent in ten years. It will require the right leadership. His plan makes more sense than any politician I have heard yet..Go to Pickens Plan.com

Raman Noodles And Broke Taxi Drivers

I saw this sign on the windshiel of a Checker cab. I could not agree more. The Cab business in Tampa is bad...real bad. In the 12 years that I have been driving, it has never been like this. I worked 12 hours today and had about 10 rides - on a Monday morning! This is unheard of. I know the economy is down, but I am the one paying the 4 bucks a gallon to haul you around. Why so few riders? It is getting VERY scary.

I am having noodles every night for dinner and tonight is no exception. I have, however, managed to obtain 8 oz of ground beef so I can at least have some meat with my spaghetti...The Raman noddles where starting to get a little old.

Many of the drivers are having a hard time. I saw Sampson on 31 and then he was on 23...He used to only work stand 21 but now says there are "Too many 21 hounds" oh how the worm turns..

Hang in there until Obama is elected I guess. He is the Messiah, right?

Many of you will remember her more for the info commercial with Tae Bo martial arts expert Billy Blank...She was the blonde spokesperson for the commercial.

Being a beautiful women, Dara Torres has always been the object of adoration. Many famous photographers took the pictures of hers, and quite a number of top men’s magazines placed the images of Dara on cover.

Take a close look at this photo. Does this look like a women on Performance Inhancement drugs or HGH? Does not look that way.

Torres is Jewish on her father's side. She converted to Judaism before marrying her second husband, Israeli surgeon Itzhak Shasha, and in 2005 was inducted into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.

Gaybor In Ybor Tampa

Ybor City in Tampa is becoming gay. That may not be all bad. For many years the stupid shits that owned the night clubs in Ybor catered to the underage crowds that had no money to spend and where only looking for trouble. They found it. Hardly a weekend went by without someone being killed in Ybor. Ridiculous.

The gays are well behaved, have more money to spend, and travel to Tampa as everything from 7Th ave and 17st West is becoming an exclusive gay Zone, hence the name "Gaybor." This is a photo of "G Club" or "G Bar" perhaps the most popular gay night club in Tampa at this moment.

I have also noticed more art springing up in the area. There where at least two art shows that I found on the same block today. This is certainly what we have needed.

Dara Torres Olympic Swimmer at 41 Years Old

Dara Torres was a medal winner in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games at the age of 17in Swimming. She became a model and was, perhaps, most famous for the Tia Boa Martial arts commercials. In 2000 she made a comeback and won three Bronze medals at Sydney Australia. Last night I watched her qualify for the finals in the woman's 100 meter freestyle with a personal best at the age of 41. Many suspect drugs and HGH. I don't. I have been around Masters swimming for many years and have seen middle age people set personal best because they are on consistent training programs that they never where on in their early years. I say go Dara Torres.
