Punk This!
A website for the pre-digital era of punk rock from the Inland Empire, where Riverside along with other cities are shoved east of Los Angeles. Check it out (link below) and I will update if anything changes in the future. Kurt Satterfield of Toxic Noise poses with a McDonalds employee after a party/gig in Highland, CA circa 1984.

Out And About
Going out into the real world today in search of fame and fortune. Trying to plan the day out so I get back at least an hour before my bedtime so that I may hop back on here and share some stuff that a local rocker has put together to archive the early Inland Empire punk rock scene. Rock on!
Fox Boogeyman Scares MSNBC President
People nationwide are scared of everything they shouldn't be and not concerned about the real fright night gangs. How many times have you heard, "is that real news or did you see that on Fox?" All the while NBC editing shenanigans go without notice. So when a Fox show jumped in ratings this is what the MSNBC president had to say, mind you now MSNBC devotes Op-Ed blocks to investigating Fox News at times, as if this is news.
“Tuesday–you guys should be doing some investigations,” Griffin told media news site MediaBistro.com. “I have never seen it in all my years of cable, same overnight, same everything, and they doubled their ratings in a day? It is impossible.”
Apparently not. The Daily News looked into Griffin’s allegation and reported that a Nielsen investigation confirmed the numbers were indeed accurate.
"The Kelly File" jumped 116 percent in the key 25-54 demographic to 623K viewers, beating MSNBC’s "The Rachel Maddow Show." Kelly's show also grew 34 percent in total viewers, rising to almost 2.8 million.
“The notion that [the increase] merited an ‘investigation’ is frankly comical and an indication of the rampant Fox paranoia which has overtaken their competitors,” media critic John Ziegler told FOX411. “Only an MSNBC executive could possibly look at Megyn Kelly and Rachel Maddow and say, ‘There is no way that Americans possibly strongly prefer the former to the latter!’”
Debunk the morons of the world, start now and do your kids a favor!

Going On The Road
Venturing out into the world today in search of money and fuel. I will report back later with my discovery, rock on.
Josh Hargis - An American Soldier
Say what you will about the world today and the wars we fight, our military is 100% volunteer and the people who serve our country are some kick ass men and women. I came across the story of Josh Hargis an Army Ranger who was injured last week in Afghanistan. Read the story for yourselves and keep the young man in your thoughts, no matter your feelings about the conflict, this guy is an American hero and I would like more to know his story.
Army Ranger Josh Hargis was unconscious, hooked to a breathing tube at a military hospital in Afghanistan after losing both his legs in battle last week.
But when the Purple Heart ceremony began at Hargis’ bedside, it turned out he was not unconscious, as doctors believed. Instead, he struggled with an attending doctor to raise his heavily bandaged hand to salute a commanding officer presenting him with the medal.
"I cannot impart on you the level of emotion that poured through the intensive care unit that day," the commander wrote to the Ranger's wife. "Grown men began to weep, and we were speechless at a gesture that speaks volumes about Josh's courage and character."
There were about 50 fellow Rangers, doctors and nurses in the hospital room during the ceremony. The commanding officer said the salute was the “most beautiful” any person in the room had ever seen.
"I'm overwhelmed. I'm overwhelmed that that’s my boy, that he could come from me. Yeah, I'm overwhelmed," Jim Hargis, the 24-year-old's father, told Fox 19.
Hargis, who is expecting a baby with his wife, was injured in an explosion while his unit, the 3rd Ranger Battalion, was searching for a high-value target in Panjwaj, Afghanistan, the Fox 19 report said. Four other soldiers died in the attack.
His father told the station that the troops had just inspected a man for bombs, and then a woman came by and exploded. While the troops were responding to the explosion, other IEDs planted in the area detonated, including one Hargis stepped on.
Hargis will be moved to a military hospital in San Antonio, Texas, for further treatment.

Only In Hollywood
In the land of make believe anything is possible. You could be a star one moment and "gravely disabled" the next. Amanda Bynes the loveable starlet that chucks bongs out high rise windows has been declared "gravely disabled", whatever the fuck that is. I guess acting is harder than I thought and quite seriously dangerous to your health. So why do people want to be stars so bad? If it is so hard and all why don't more pretenders in Hollywood get real? Amanda Bynes might have been better at working in a local McDonalds, Taco Bell or Burger King, possibly saving her life from such a disastrous psychiatric condition. Possibly her parents could be held liable? Maybe jail time is in order for anyone that makes their poor little babies into the stars they never asked to be?
Hollywood has outgrown itself here on this issue, Oliver Stone that total POS could make a great movie about her, like he did for George Bush and JFK. I could totally see it now, Amanda is really like a secret agent but no one knows and then she gets hold of bad drugs and the whole thing comes undone, complete with people who don't exist, giving Amanda the excuse she so desperately needs. And good old Oliver can buy a suitcase of heroin or coke. Now that is Hollywood.

Where The Wild Ones Are
By now you have probably seen the vid or read about the group of bikers in NY that beat up a driver of a SUV that had ran into the stuntbiker when they attempted to stop the motorist from calling the cops on the group of stunters when they did a hostile takeover of a roadway. Now Americas favorite lawyer Gloria Alred has laid claim to representing the broken biker in his bid to further terrorize this motorist and his family.
In todays world renegade bikers can do the illegal shit and some hot shot lawyer will jump in the mix and get their act on to save their asses, total bullshit. The stunt crew started the whole affair and they cry foul when a guy does the right thing to protect his family. Now word is off duty cops were in the gang of bikers and how about that? Makes sense off duty cops are part of loser stunt idiots. Makes even more sense when I say fear the off duty cop like an on duty gang member.
Outlaw clubs have a rule that no one fucks with women and kids and this guy had both in his SUV, taking over a roadway like these morons did is another thing outlaws don't do, why fuck with people in cages? If I was in this guys situation I would have done the same thing and I am a motorcyclist, I also don't fuck with cars or act like I own the road. If I did I would take the punishment like a man and not like a gang member or an off duty cop.

I Have A Dream, No It Is A Nightmare
Can you imagine one day a California that only gang members have guns? I can. My ranch rifle is set to become an "assault rifle" by California State regulations(proposed SB374), all aimed at keeping guns in the hands of gang members and out of the homes of everyday citizens. California slides farther into the shitter. Fuck you Governor Moonbeam...

Black Monday
At home doing more chores and making a big dent in the front yard and if all goes well the side of the yard will be next. Now that the heat is gone catching up will be easy and that is a good thing, lots of flying insects still and they make life miserable for you.
Time for lunch and a White Flag song, A Moment Of Silence sounds good to me...
