Live direct from Beaula Florida the Silver Back convention started of with a roaring rallying song of "happy Days are here again".
Hi I am Cracked Crankshaft reporting from the coastal city of Beaula Florida nestled along the Gulf Coast with beach sands that look like snow.
The delegates have been extreemly busy bargaining for votes to elect Photogr and Texas Cuda as the presidential and vice presidential candidates to represent the Silver Back party in the national elections.
Forensic has rallied all the delegates from the New England states into one big political force that could sway the votes to elect Photogr.
Klvalus has the task of uniting all the NASCAR fans under the silver back party to vote for Photogr. It is rumored she has a high position promised to her in the NASCAR head office if she can gather the fans support.
Jokers Wild is heading up the Midwest delegates by cracking one liners and keeping the delegates in stitches.
We hear Hot Foot Lori is hot footing all the delegates from the south east with a big base from Alabama and Georgia.
Iowa girl is leading the delegates from the north west and pulling in race fans from the local tracks in that area.
Frever3fan has been diligently working the California and Western delegates to support Photogr.
Speed Beagle has Texas and Lousiana delegates leaning towards the Photogr and Cuda ticket.
We hear Gerrill is leading the delegates from Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana to support Photogr.
Moseby is working the floor to gather all the delegates votes tallied and Jon464 is throwing the nay sayers under the bus.
Noahspop and Noah are are covering flagging the delegates to their proper seating areas.
We hear that Charrit is flying in more delegates as the convention is progressing on P38 fighter planes and his motorcycles.
TEZ although now in Canada has been doing a great job in rallying the Western border states with Canada to support Photogr.
Well it looks like this Party is well organized and on a mission to get Photogr elected. Reporting from the floor is Maude Tixpiddle. Maude. What is it like down there?
"Cracked it is a feverish pitch down here on the convention floor. In between the song "Happy Days are here again" you can hear chants of "PHOTOGR for President". It looks like the delegates have their minds made up. Back to you Cracked."
"Thanks Maude. I have just been told that Photogr will make his appearance shortly. Before the convention started, I was talking to Photogr and asked him what he does to relax. His reply was besides racing he likes to hang ten. " >
"I had another question about being the dark horse candidate in a new political party. He told me he didn't think he looked like a horse and hoped offering the voters a new perspective and a new party would give them hope for a better America."
"Oh Wait!! Photogr has just went up to the podium to address the convention delegates. The crowd is waving their banners and singing Happy Days are here again. Delegate Hanahan From South Carolina has been chosen to introduce Photogr to the convention."
" Ladies and Gentlemen. I am sure you 'all know what I am about to do. I would like to introduce you to our next President of the USA. ( Ah. Er. What is your name sir?) Yes photogr. Thats it! Photogr !!"
Considering the choices we have for presidential candidates, I have decided to put my UH "hat" in the ring for President of the USA. I am also introducing a new political party as my affiliation. It will be called the Silver Backs. Now we have the donkeys and the elephants. We all know how stubborn a Donkey can be and we know how fat an elephant is.
Having a silver back as a party symbol made good sense. I thought is was time for a candidate with a thinking mind and no pockets to stuff bribe money in. Of course, bananas will get my attention as always.
You are probably wondering what my platform will be. Sit down and hear what my campaign covers.
Agenda:
NASCAR racing. It needs to stop the price gouging that has been going on for some time. I propose as my first legislation. I will mandate that NASCAR races will be affordable for all fans. No tickets over $25.00 cost. No more mystery cautions, no more rule infractions, and No more Brian France. I will assign Klvalus as the new head of NASCAR to handle the business and TEZ as the replacement for Helton. Noahspop will be in charge of rules and regulations.
Foreign policy. An area that is handled poorly now. I propose we will provide military and financial assistance to the countries that do not spit on us, try to kill us, insult us, threaten us and over charge us for oil. Those countries will immediately be put on our dodo list. Those countries will also have to pay their own U.N. fees or be kicked out of the UN. I might also consider Kicking the UN out of the USA. That would save a bundle. I will appoint Hoosier as the foreign diplomat for those unfriendly countries mentioned above.
I propose we round up all the gangs in this country and send them to Iraq and Afganistan since they like to fight and shoot guns. This will reduce the need for our military forces to fight every ones war and give us more military support for our borders and our friends as well as provide top notch security. I will appoint Forensic as the Forign policy advisor and Hot foot as the Secretary of state.
Economics, NAFTA, and the Free Trade agreement. I will balance the ratio of trade to foreign countries. We will only buy an equal percentage of their products with what percentage they buy from us. I will keep American jobs in America. Any American company that goes overseas for cheap labor will not be allowed to trade in the USA. I will appoint Moseby as the head of Economics.
I will provide a bearing banana tree for every family in the USA as well as a respectable job / salary for the unemployed. I will appoint Hanahan as the head of the department of Labor.
Corporate executives and lobyist who just love to roll in money will not be paid the salaries they were used to getting. Salaries will be adjusted to the performance they provide in keeping their companies strong and productive with American workers.
No more CEO 50 plus million dollar salaries when the company is going down the tubes. Government offices must maintain a level of productivity and be frugal with the tax payers money. No more $1000.00 toilets and $200.00 hammers guys. Also I will put the Senate and the Congress on Social Security and abolish the over funded Gov. pensions. I will appoint JJ Dean as the Secretary of Government finances and as the head of Social Security pensions I will appoint Volfan. I will appoint Jokers Wild as the head of commerce. Probably a better choice would be head of jokes or the wine making industry.
Military policy. I am a firm believer that we need a strong military with the latest in technology to deter any oppositional forces that might think about attacking us. I will appoint Fever 3 as the head of the joint chief of staffs office and Beaver Nut as the head of the military forces ( second in command).
Agriculture. Here is an area the we need to expand our production of food sources and research bio fuels. We are loosing too many farms due to regulations and will open up opportunities for farmers to prosper. I will appoint Dwindy as the head of Agriculture.
Energy. We must be dedicated to making our selves self sufficient in energy and do what ever possible to attain that goal through comprehensive research and developing new energy sources. I will appoint Charritt as the head of the Department of energy.
Education. Certainly a sore spot in these days and time. Our school systems are turning out under educated children at an alarming rate and we need to insure all get a superior education. I will appoint Tyler head as the head of education.
Every Presidential hopefull needs to have a Vice president and I hope that CUDA will accept my Appointment as my Vice presidential candidate. He can garner many female voters to follow our agenda and campaign.
All of my appointees are highly qualified to assume their new post. I Have more to list but am restricted by space for now.
As you can see I am a candidate for the people with out any special interest group affiliations. It is time for a new political party and a better choice for a President of the USA.
I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THINGS AGAIN. And it ain't perty.
Disclaimer: What I am about to say is going to ruffle feathers so if you are thin skinned, live with it .
Hoosier Racer with his latest blog got me to thinking about the sad state of affairs on the FOX blogs with drive by trolls and other issues.
Lets deal with the drive by trolls. First of all, these people are not on the blogs to carry on a civil post about any thing except to spread their bable and venom by disruption of the regulars trying to be intelligent in their blogs. They remind me of #### AND #### supporters. If you don't think like they do, you are the enemy. Ignoring them is a good idea but that also might escalate their drible.
Some times it is a good idea to advise them their style is not tolerated and will be reported. Should they get offensive, then it is FOX Bolg's responsibility to remove this nusance. Not us, and we should not have to endure the insults. Naturally I have always been combative and will jump down their throats fast.
I have never taken any nonsense from any one my entire life. Many many ex employees and ex tenants can attest to that. Given one has hardships and I am the first to open my wallet to them.
Some have questioned who am I? I am who I am. Nothing more, Nothing less. What you see is what you get. No pretenses. No falsehoods. Some say I have a great sese of humor. That is not correct. I actually have no sense of humor. It just looks that way some times.
Now on to the blogs written on this site. Many blog posters do write excellent reports and are quite intelligent with their research and opinions. Most do have opposing views and in a polite way do give a counter opinion in order to present a different view. That is the way it should be.
Some have a talent with humor ( either dry or out right silly). Those post are a pleasure to read also if given in the proper text.
Honesty on the blogs sometimes fail to exist I have noted. I have seen some blogs with post that are outright the worst written topic I have ever seen with grammar and content. Yet other bloggers rant about how great a post it was. It is nice not to offend but where do you draw the line in the sand as far a quality content and advise the poster to get their act together? Others with medical issues are excused form this category. It is understandable don't you think?
I have posted serious articles but get a decent amount of blogs which is ok. Some say the article was wonderful. Others may have a different opinion. That is fine. At least there is honesty when there is a different opinion rather than it was a wonderful article. I am not a pro Journalist here.
I have written the silliest articles that I could think of and get rave reviews knowing full well the article stunk in my opinion. Yet the so called friends said it was great. If you want to be a real friend tell the truth. Not white wash the article. That is the only way both can still be friends and honest with each other.
While we are on the issue of honesty with leaving a comment, I am looking forward to the day when Hoosier and I can get into an intelligent rebuttal on an opinion about an article. However it is hard to dissagree with Hoosier. He is rarely wrong so far.
Some go so far as to expound their love for some bloggers. That is ok if you know them personally. All you have to go on here is the avitar and the emotional style that some how creeps into your work no matter how hard you try not to expose your self emotionaly.
All the blog posters could do well with being honest with each others work and not lead them into a false bravada over inferior work.
Well that covers what I have been thinking about for a long time. Felt it was about time to blow the lid.
IF THERE IS ONE THING YOU CAN COUNT ON DURING AN ELECTION YEAR, IT IS ALL THE CAMPAIGN PROMISES ARE SOON FORGOTTEN BY THE ELECTED CANDIDATE.
OFFICIAL HIT COUNTER TOTALS = 1,999,999.5
