Tampa Taxi Shots

GAS IS GOING HIGHER

Its amazing that George and Dick can still make the price of gas go up, even after leaving office.  A Mensa is now President, and he can't seem to do anything about it.  Or at least, nobody is calling him onto the carpet as they did during the Bush Years....Just makes me wonder.

MY NEW BEST FRIEND

Considering that all of my best friends in the last two years have died , it has been hard to find new friends.  Tom Castros is one that I can call anytime I want, and he calls me with multiple text messages each day.  Hay, that is a real friend nowadays!

He also went to VPI...now how cool is that?

Don't let his "skin head" looks fool you.  He is a flaming liberal of the extreme kind....He would make Jimmy Carter look like a conservative Republican!

OBAMA YOUTH GESTAPO BILL passes the House

The House passed a bill which includes disturbing language indicating young people will be forced to undertake mandatory national service programs as fears about President Barack Obama’s promised “civilian national security force” intensify.

The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, known as the GIVE Act, was passed by a 321-105 margin and now goes to the Senate. 

None of you Schmucks even knew this!  How dumb and ignorant can you be.  "Don't worry Mildred, I will be back by morning, they mean me no harm."

Fears about Obama’s plans to create involuntary servitude were first stoked in July 2008, when Obama told a rally in Colorado Springs, “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.”

If you have the guts and honesty, watch this 10 part brainwashing technique explained in an official Obama video

We have seen all of this before. How stupid can the Ameridan public be. You know the ones that say, "If you don't learn from history, you are doomed to repeat it". Ya, you know those types.

MY COMPUTER WAS DESTROYED BY A VIRUS AND SPYWARE

For years I have not had any form of spy-ware or virus protection.  I only go to safe sites.  I don't serf porn, so I thought everything was alright.  I was wrong.  A spyware called Trojan ate my computer alive.  It hijacked it and I lost total control, and it was destroyed.  Photos, files, software, writings are all gone.

This spyware is loaded on your computer when you go to malicious websites that have the sole purpose of putting this shit on your computer.  There are programmers that work eight hour days like a real job developing this stuff.  You think their talent could be used in a more productive way.

The Geek Squad at Best Buy were able to reload Windows XP.  By doing that, it would erase all of my hard drive...all of it.   I would be starting all over again.  Everything is now gone. 

Get protection.  I will never leave home without now.

FAST FOOD DEALS

One of the things cab drivers look for are deals on food.  We are on the road and eat most of our meals out.  Fortunately, most of the fast food places are lowering their prices in this bad economy to lure more customers.  McDonald's, Taco Bell, Arby's, and Subway with their $5 foot-longs are a deal.  I recommend that everyone take advantage of these restaurants that are offering these deals.  I will not go to Einstein Bagels because they have RAISED the price of the their coffee in this economy.  At a time when Starbucks is closing stores, they think they can raise prices.  Screw them.  They will never get another dime of my money.

LOVE BUGS

Dag gumit'...These pesty little fornicators are at it again.  They don't seem to have much of an instinct for self preservation.  They only seem to want to do the wild-thing as they fly over the interstate.  I had a trip out of county and was on 75, and my windshield got creamed.  This is the way it looked after I tried to was it off at a gas station.  Yuk!   And I believe they will pit your glass if you don't get them off.

My understanding is they were a biological experiment at the University of Florida years ago and the bugs are not even indigenous to the great State of Florida.  Well, the experiment was a success.  I really don't know what purpose they serve like other insects that eat other pest.  Are they found in any other States?  They bloom twice a year around April/May and September.  They will be back.

THE EARLY HOURS AND A PHONE CALL TO OBAMA

With the drop off of business and a record low TAXI call count, I have to find ways to make a living.  I am having a hard time.  I am now having to work in the middle of the night so I can "roll a drunk" to make my lease.  Believe me, if there were jobs available, I would take one. 

It is way to bad that we hired this guy to be President.  Other than covering the asses of Wall Street Bankers and not pulling out of Iraq and letting the Afghanistan situation deteriorate, he ain't done much but go to nice restaurants with his wife.  BFD.  If I was spending the ZILLIONS that he is, I would have put people back to work by now.  But I have real life experience, he does not. 

He has no clue what it is like to have your cell phone cut off from nonpayment...to have your Internet connection cut off...to be evicted from your apartment and have to sleep in your car and live out of a motel..What does he know about that shit?

He wants to put people back to work by Spring of next  year when his stimulus packages kick in...that is way to late.   Hire people now!   Hire them TODAY.   The lady from Ft. Myers that put her arm around you on TV is still homeless and unemployed.  What did you do for her?  

I even called the White House.  I said put Barrack on the phone Tim is calling.  She said, "who is Tim.'  "Just tell him...he knows who I am."   I got thru. 

I was recording the call and he did not know that.   He thought I was like many white people-an ignorant motherfucker....you can hear it here...OBAMA_CALLS ME IGNORANT

WE ARE HURTING OUT HER PREZ...CAN YOU DIVERT SOME OF THOSE ZILLIONS OUR WAY...AND I MEAN RIGHT NOW...TODAY...NOT NEXT YEAR, NEXT MONTH OR NEXT WEEK.....NOW MOTHERFUCKER.

NE'ER-DO-WELL....

Enter one Nolan Canova of "gas station attendant" fame.  A former  man of mirth, now just a believer in myth. 

At night, Nolan works at an institute of mass merchandising called the 7-11.  A ubiquitous outpost for the late night wayward and lonely, drawn to the store like moths to a flame.  By day, he is a man of Pop-Culture,studying the ethos and legends of man, not to be confused with science and tech.  Nolan searches for what is noble and valiant about mans quest for his own humanity.  Science and reason are illegitimate tools for this understanding.

Those entering his store late night represent an approaching vanguard of the those who seek his knowledge.  The lonely, the disenfranchised, the destitute, the drugstore cowboys and 7-11 philosophers come to Nolan hungry to know who they are, and what they can be.

Don't be confused by their 'ne'er-do-well' demeanor.  These patrons are here to learn and grow.  Life may need the ambitious.  Life also needs conformity, which cannot be found here. 

Unknown to Nolan, he is the ultimate mythical figure.  He is the  "Old Man In The Cave."  He provides continuity and stability to his minions.  He can, however, only guide you away from life's toxins.  Partake of the radio-active after being warned, and you are on your own.  The philosopher can rarely warn one of the logical consequences of their actions.  Such is Nonlan's task.

If after the midnight hour, you find yourself driving around Tampa and you see an outpost up ahead, with the only lights on for miles.  You stop at your own risk

THE PRICE OF GAS AND OBAMA

The price of crude oil is very low.  So why am I paying over 2 bucks a gallon and rising.  Summer is coming and gas will go high.  They used to blame this on Dick and George and their oil friends.  Now, who will they blame it on, surely not Obama. 

They will say it is still because of George Bush.  The man was supposed to be an idiot.  Obama is supposed to be a Mensa.  Again, why am I paying so much for gas?  

Does anyone know of any job that has been created since Obama became President?  The only thing I run into are unemployed people living in "Obamavilles"  the little tent cities that USA Today did a story about.  I know this is not Obama's fault.  The idiot was so stupid even Obama can't make it right.  You are giving me a headache.  

THE NEW HOMELESS

These guys took up camp on stand 23 at the corner of columbus and Dale Mabry a couple of weeks ago.  They are from Orlando and they came to Tampa looking for a job and a better life.  They have found neither, unless you consider sleeping in your car in the K-Mart parking lot a better life.  I don't.  They are pretty good guys; they just need a break.  They are surviving and doing what they have to do.

TAMPA TAXI RADIO SHOW!
