Tom_Sussi's Blog

Some of you whine about your posts on this blog being edited. You say we're hippocrates, and are violating your constitutional rights: Freedom of Speech.

News flash. Freedom of Speech doesn't mean you can say anything you want, even on a blog.

Freedom of Speech doesn't give you the right to slander, swear and shamelessly insult others.

In the spirit of Independence Day, thumb through our constitution, and educated yourself about Freedom of Speech.

I'm talking about those creeps that spray painted "Obama smokes crack" on several Orlando city vehicles. What total morons!

The only crack smokers here are the idiots who committed this loathesome crime. To you, I say, grow up fools!

Your turn.

Did you catch the story about some young punks breaking into a local home, and beating the family dog to death?

Cops say this innocent little Pomeranian was pummelled like some punching bag. 

Folks, I am outraged. And if these punks are caught and convicted, let's give these little creeps a taste of their own brutality. Let's make them run a gauntlet of PETA people armed with large rawhide dog bones!

See how the like having the sh-t kicked out of them!

If you know these little wackos, call police.

Your turn.

That's right, my liberal-hating friends, to a degree, we're ALL liberals. Each and every one of you. Even you staunch republicians who believe these so-called liberals are the Anti-Christ.

I'm not making this up. I can prove it. It's in the new college edition of The American Heritage Dictionary.

According to American Heritage liberal is, and I quote, "having, expressing or following social or political views or politics that favor non-revolutionary progress and reform." I don't think any of you want to start a revolution, do you?

The definition goes on to say, and I quote, "Having, expressing or following views or politics that favor the freedom to act or express themselves in a manner of their own choosing." Sound familiar? It should. It's stated in our constitution!

So, you see, all of you have a little liberal flowing through your veins. But, don't worry, it can't be passed on through sex, dirty needles or blood transfusions.

Let's take a break from debating the war. Instead, I'd like you to rate the following news organizations.

In your opinion, are these broadcasting giants liberal or conversative?

NBC
ABC
CBS
FOX
CNN

I'm curious to see how you view TV news.

The war in Iraq is sending our country into a financial tailspin, and it's only going to get worse.

Have you heard what our elected leaders in Washington D.C. are doing now?

The house just approved $162 billion in war funds! That's already on top of the billions we've already invested in that hell hole.

And for what? To temporarily liberate a region that's been fighting for thousands of years, and hold a few terrorists at bay. Meantime, our country is hurting.

Tell me something. Is it worth it? Is it worth our country investing billions of dollars and human lives to fight this war?

I say no way. 

Your turn.

That's right.

Actor George Takei, better known as Mr. Sulu in Star Trek, is marrying his long-time lover, Brad.

That's right, I said, Brad. It's not a typo. I didn't mean to say, Barb.

If you haven't heard, gay marriage is legal now in California. I know the gay bashers and homophobes are going nuts. To them, I say, it's none of your business, frankly.

I mean, really, why should any of us give a rat's rump what two people in love do. Even if they happen to be of the same sex.

I didn't say raise children together. That's another blog.

What say you?

That's right, guys. There's a new WATCH DAWG in town.

This dawg will watch over government and other assorted public workers and elected officials.

This dawg will also watch over crooks, cons and scoundrels who are ripping you off.

Friends, the WATCH DAWG IS ME!

I am pleased to announce that my focus here at FOX 35 will be centered on those two fronts: Government and public employees. And dirtbags.

I'm also pleased to announce that I will be giving dirtbags the BONE and tossing them into the FOX 35 Dog House.

Trust me. Things will be getting very interesting around here.

If you're aware of any shenanigans going on with your elected and public officials, or have a candidate for the Dog House, email me.

Thank you loyal bloggers and viewers.

If John McCain is elected in November, he'll be 72 years old. Beating out Ronald Reagan for the oldest U.S. president ever elected. Reagan was 69 was he was sworn in.

I can fully buy into 40 being the new 30, and 50 being the new 40. But, for most of us, when you hit 70 years old, the ball is rolling down hill. Fast!

Folks, McCain isn't applying for a greeter job at Walmart. But president of the United States of American! It's a demanding job with great responsibility that's turned men old and grey before they're time.

There's plenty of people over 70 running major corporations, I understand. Rupert Murdock, the man who owns FOX, is one of them. But Mr. Murdoch is a rare gem.

But, hey, maybe McCain is too. I don't know.

Your turn.

That's what some say. George W. Bush will be remembered as the worst-ever president to date. And, I believe, he's surely a candidate.

Why?

1-He mishandled 9-11. We should have never attacked Iraq.

2-The housing industry and economy are a mess. Sure, you can't blame it all on him, but he is our country's CEO.

3-He's done little, from what I can see, to advance health care. You have any idea how many people in this country can't afford decent health care? Lots.

Nixon and Clinton weren't perfect, by any stretch of the imagination. But Georgie Boy bit off way more than he could chew. And the next guy who takes over inherits a big mess!

Your turn.

Soaring gas prices, with no end in sight, is going to change the auto industry. You're going to see a major push to steer clear of cars and trucks powered by gas. Gas-powered vehicles are on their way out.

General Motors stock is way down. If I'm GM, I'm pushing all my resources towards building fuel-efficient cars, and develope another fuel source besides gas.

It's serious,folks. We need to join the 21st Century and stop building gas-powered cars. Electric, H2o, cow dung. Whatever. No more gas!

I'd even scrap space travel and use NASA's resources and smarts to come up with something.

Your turn.

Well, it's nearly set in stone - Obama and McCain will square off in November's presidential election.

So, who wins?

Me? I think those for the war will vote McCain. Those against the war will vote Obama. That simple. And it will be close.

Your turn.

That's right, gang.

I'm outta here, and will not return until Tuesday. Going to visit family and friends in Flint, Michigan, where I was born and bred.

It's a great town.

Lots of bowling allies, crack houses and unemployed GM workers! But, hey, it's home.

Take care of yourselves, and while I'm away, feel free to blog away until your fingers bleed!

That's what I said.

And it's happening right here in Central Florida. Places like Winter Park, Ocala and Longwood.

Let me explain.

If you're in a non-injury car accident; you're at fault and you're not a resident of that city where it occurred, your insurance company is billed for the cop who showed up to take a report. In Ocala, I'm told the average bill is between $200-$300 bucks.

What's happening, though, is insurance companies are refusing to pay the bill, and the policyholder is getting stuck with the tab.

I'm actually reporting on this topic tonight on FOX 35 News at 5.

Is is fair?

Your thoughts.

I will not return until Tuesday, so I need to get a few things off my chest before I can relax.

Here's what I'm FED UP over this week:

1-Morons who show up at political rallies who have absolutely nothing to say. The only reason they're there is to hoot on the other candidates. Go away!

2-People who disagree that we need to find an alternative source of energy to power cars. Like I've said before, gas was great when the Model T first rolled off the assembly lines. Time to evolve!

3-Bloggers who diasagree with me because it's fashionable. If you want to trash-talk at least make a friggin' point.

I'm done. Have a great weekend and be safe.

Your turn.
