Still No Plows

This is day two after an admittedly huge snow storm and my neighborhood hasn't seen 1 plow. The snow is packed on the street about 3 to 4 inches deep. Today at the intersection of Brown St. NW and Newton St. NW two cars and a tow truck were all stuck in the intersection at the same time. I helped the tow truck driver and after about 30 minutes he finally got unstuck, went about 2 feet and got stuck again. The car and the mini van drivers helped each other out. This is unacceptable.
I heard Adrian Fenty or one of his minions saying that they had hit most of the side streets at least once. I'm still waiting for my pass. I look up half a block to 16th street and see the trucks going by with their plows up.
I was walking home from the grocery store today when one of the plow drivers had the nerve to stop and tell someone not to shovel snow into the streets. "We are trying to clear the roads " he says as he pulls off, with his plow still in the up position. The guys looked at me and I said "your better then me! I'd have said fuck you and kept on shoveling!".
There is no where else to throw the snow. The areas between cars are full. The yards are full. The side walks are barely passable. Where would this asshole like them to put the snow?
City officials better remember this is an election year. People were already sick of a lot of these politicians before all the snow. Now folks are really pissed.
It would probably be a good idea to stop patting yourselves on the back as a lot of us citizens sit on our asses stuck!
Morning After DC Blizzard
I make a few slight exagerations in this video. I say the snow is up to my chest. I mean the snow that has been dug out and piled up is up to my chest.
I say I am walking on 8 inches of packed snow. That ain't true either. More like 2 or 3.
We'll blame it on lack of food. Went to shovel with no breakfast.
How To Assure Snow Removal in DC
I have come up with a way to assure that all of the residents of Washington DC have a snow plow, with its plow down, come through our neighborhoods after a snow storm.
This is prompted by the fact that I saw a government official on TV today saying they had hit "most" of the side streets in DC at least once. BULLSHIT as usual. They love the word "most". It gives them the wiggle room to do absolutely nothing in some areas and then claim no one contacted them or they " some how missed that street".
Anyway...back to the solution. The city gets 24 hours after the last flakes stop to at least make one pass through the whole city. That means EVERY neighborhood. For everyday that a plow doesn't come through a citizens neighborhood, after a snow storm of 3 inches or more, we get a refund of the tax money that would have been spent to clear our streets. In storms of 8 inches or more they got one extra day.
There has to be a financial penalty for their lack of ability to handle ANY snow storm.
As much tax as we pay in this city we shouldn't have to ski to work!

DC Blizzard Report
This is my 9:00 PM snow storm report. I live in Mount Pleasant. I just went out to shovel my walkway and make a video. The snow is about 4 inches deep. It is blowing sideways. The wind chill is rough. My hands started shaking so bad I had to stop making my snow video. We didn't have much snow around 7 PM but seems like maybe 2 to 3 inches fell in the last two hours. I will be posting again in an hour or two. Enjoy the snow!

Know Yourself
"It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle. - Sun Tzu

Jobs Saved
I don't really trust government officials when it comes to statistics on anything. But watching President Obamas minions try to spin the unemployment situation on Sunday was laughable.
First it was Valerie Jarrett saying that the stimulus plan had saved the jobs of many teachers and fire fighters and...teachers and...cops. She struggled to come up with actual jobs that had been "saved".
Second was lying ass Robert Gibbs saying the stimulus plan had saved between half a million and a million jobs.
Third was David Axelrod saying the presidents stimulus plan has saved around two million jobs.
OK two points here. First is why isn't there a solid number? Why don't all his minions have the same number to report? Is it because it is a bunch of bullshit? Or are they stupid? Maybe a little of both. Second point is if the stimulus is working so well why has it only saved jobs? Why have few to none been created?
I hope my fellow Americans recognize bullshit when they hear it.

UK - Boys 10 And 11 Jailed For Sadistic Attack, Torturing
Children this warped should be locked up forever. Children make mistakes and I understand that. What these two little monsters did is an indicator of seriouly warped minds. They should be kept locked up until they die for what they did. Their parents should be made to pay for whatever mental treatment the victims need to have some semblance of a normal life. There has to be severe consequences for this type of behavior.
What A Joke
Osama Bin Laden has released another of his supposedly threatening audio messages. In it he said "the message we wanted you to receive through him, the shoe bomber, is that America shall not dream about security until we witness it in Palestine". Well whoop de doo.I am so sick of this idiot.
First of all if he wants peace in Palestine there are two groups he needs to be dealing with and neither of them is the U.S. Secondly he hides from America like a coward and shoots off a video every few months like anyone in this country really gives a crap what he, or his "organization" thinks. And thirdly if he really thinks that Americans feel insecure because of his little under ware bomber he obviously knows nothing about us Americans.
I am not trying to say we don't fear another attack or terrorism but we as Americans do not walk around in fear of Bin Laden or Al Qaeda. I am sure there will be other attempted attacks on our country and we will get over it just like we've gotten over the 9/11 attack.
Mr Bin Laden, you will never win this war! Not through terrorism and definitely not with your little videos.
