1) Woke this morning about 3:30 and rolled over in bed. As I was rolling over it felt like someone shot your King in the lower back. As of now it still hurts like hell so maybe it is time for me to get one of those Teeter hang ups. If anyone, who reads this nonsense of mine and, has one I would appreciate an opinion on this product. I need a new back. Ouch.
2) I was looking at an old magazine of mine, I am a pack rat when it comes to keeping old mags, and one of the articles asks "Is evolution making us dumber?". It discusses how our brains have been shrinking a bit over the past thousand plus years or so. It is said we only use ten percent of it anyways so what is a little shrinkage among friends? Anyways we are getting dumber as a society and I will tell you why. The cause is technology! Kids nowadays have too many diversions technologically wise that I did not have as a kid. They have all sorts of video games they can rot their minds on among other things. When I had nothing to do I read books and learned things. Just ask the people I work with as my mind is a vast container of useless knowledge. Kids today do not read but they sure as hell have the strongest thumbs around. The only reading they do is reading the latest text that is sent to them by their friends. No need to even learn how to spell anymore when using 'textese'. Ugh.
3) Did I say that my back is killing me?
4) The weathermen are predicting a warm up this week for this area. Temperatures may sneak into the upper forties by Friday. I can't wait. Gonna get my bathing suit and tanning lotion out for this occasion. Oh, I forget, it is going to take months before all of this snow melts. Poor Kevin Williams must have had a tear in his eye when he saw the weather models predicting a warm up.
5) The Bills made a 'big' signing a couple of days ago. They resigned linebacker John Corto. Wow, that will help plug that huge hole in the Bill's defense called the entire linebacker position. It makes me want to start a countdown to training camp...if there is even going to be a season this year but I will wait to talk about that until later.
6) Rumor had it that former Congressman Chris Lee is hiding out in Florida after his resignation. I guess he got sick of the weather in Washington and figured out a way to get out. Unless there is more to come I do not feel what he did warranted his resignation. Others have done far worse and stayed on the job. I just would not want to be him when his wife gets a hold of him. Whoa Nellie will the fur fly then!!! Maybe she can borrow that 3 iron from Elin Woods. Mr. "Buff Boy" will not be so buff after his wife takes a few divots.
Well that is enough garbage for tonight. Time to try again to find a position to put my body in so my back will stop aching. I would give my kingdom for a cute Swedish masseuse right about now. Oh the pain....the pain.

Oh No, Not Again
It is beginning to seem that once you are elected to Congress from Western New York you are required to take a stupid pill. It all started with Democrat, and chief tickler of the 29th District, Eric Massa who resigned last year amid allegations of sexual impropriety. Well, it has happened again. You would think others would learn from a previous Congressman's mistakes but I guess not. Representative Chris Lee (R) of the 26th District ingested a few stupid pills of his own in a Craigslist scandal where he misrepresented himself to a young lady and sent topless pics of himself to her. Rumor has it the Mr. Lee contacted Brett Favre to find out the best ways to contact young females. Well, we at least have to give him credit for sending naked pics of only the upper half of himself to her and not taking Brett's full advice.
A site called Gawker, I believe, reported this earlier today and he resigned his seat in Congress less than two hours ago because of this. OMG, how stupid can people get nowadays??? What is going to happen next?? Are we to find out that Louise Slaughter supplements her income at the Tally Ho??
Supposedly this man was happily married but, I guess, family values meant nothing to him. Is the pressure of working in Congress so much that people lose their common sense? Maybe the actual winners of last years elections were the ones who did not get voted in. They get to keep their sanity as a reward for losing. I think it is time for we in Western New York to demand more from our elected officials instead of them turning our area into a circus. The only thing missing now from Western New York is P. T. Barnum. Mr. Barnum is most remembered for saying "There is a sucker born every minute" but in our state I guess that includes everyone that voted for Eric Massa and Chris Lee. I was a sucker for voting for Eric in 2008 and at least I wasn't suckered by Chris Lee this time. I feel for the poor saps in his district that did vote for him believing they were going to get solid representation from him. Boy, were they wrong. We just cannot win in New York. Excuse me but I have to leave now as I must patrol Lyell Avenue in order to raise money to pay my NY State tax bill that keeps on getting bigger every year. I have to make sure that all of those state workers and teachers get their pensions so they can retire at 55 and move to Florida but I digress. That discussion is for another day. Good night.

Your King is On The Beach
Your King decided to watch an oldie but goody movie that got me to thinking, and anyone that knows me realizes that usually means trouble. The movie was "On The Beach" which is a drama about the aftermath of a nuclear war between the USA and the USSR and the people of Australia awaiting the slowly approaching radioactive aftermath of this war. It stars Gregory Peck as the captain of a US nuclear sub that manages to make its way down to Melbourne but that is besides the point.
Watching this movie gets me to thinking why do we need these atomic weapons of mass destruction? Who in their right mind would ever use these in a war? Russia and the USA have just signed and ratified the newest START Treaty which limits our two respective countries to 1550 atomic weapons each. That is 3100 of these dastardly weapons between us and that is not even counting what China, England and the rest of the nuclear fraternity have in their stocks. How many times over will 3100+ weapons destroy this world? Is there any need for even one of these devices of doom to exist let alone the number that actually do exist??
The big question is who has the wherewith all to actually use one of these devices? Pakistan, India...maybe but I doubt it but if I were to lean towards one it would be Pakistan. North Korea?? The thing is I do not think they would. They want attention from the developed world and what better way to get that attention than by having a few of these bombs in their arsenal. The country on this planet that we have the most to fear from if they obtain one of the devices is Iran. This is a country that is populated by a group of people whose radical elements would not hesitate to strap on an explosive device, walk into a crowd of innocent people and detonate it. Their government is led by idiots who could possibly be stupid enough to unleash this weapon if they ever get a hold of one. We need to get together as a world to keep these morons from getting the bomb.
The thing is do the peoples of this planet need to be equipped with weapons that would leave this Earth a radioactive wasteland, uninhabitable for many years? The answer is no. These weapons need to be eliminated from the arsenals of all countries that have them. All it takes is one moment of stupidity, one misidentified blip on a radar, one overzealous nut that just happens to have his finger on the button to make a mess of things. I am sure if the Earth had a choice it would try to cleanse itself of this mess called humanity. We, as a species, do not deserve this planet. We kill each other wantonly, pollute this planet beyond belief and destroy species that have every right to try to survive here along with us. AND we have the ability to render this planet uninhabitable unlike the mountain gorillas or the bottle nosed dolphins.
The ending of the movie "On The Beach" is powerful and it is a movie that needs to be watched. "Fail Safe", starring Henry Fonda, is another movie that shows what can happen when something goes wrong atomic weapon wise. Just sit back and think about the folly of nuclear weapons and you will realize that they are a disease that is waiting to strike. Can you imagine what you would be thinking about if you were stationed in Antarctica and were among the last, temporary, survivors of such a war awaiting the slow southerly march of the radioactive fallout cloud knowing that your time is nearly up?? It boggles the mind to even ponder that this could ever happen. I hope we are smarter than that.

Mumblings from your Monarch
1) Your King took January off to relax his mind and gear up for a new blogging season. There is plenty to write about. NY State Senator Jim Alesi comes to mind as a prime idiot..I mean example. Being in the NY State Government disqualifies him from being enshrined into my MHOF, as I will not allow any individual representative to contaminate the honored individuals the have been inducted, but I will give him an honorable mention anyways. Besides I have already inducted the NY State Senate as a whole. He will get his deserved write up in time.
2) Your King was out of the country on a goodwill trip to Northern Africa this past January, specifically to Tunisia and Egypt. We all now see how well that went. I think I will stay home for a while.
3) I hate this climate. At present it is snowing like a banshee outside. My back aches and my left thumb has tendinitis from shoveling the white crap. At least it looks like there will be enough to run the royal blower this time. I hope we have the season that we had last year when it stopped snowing at the end of February and March was snow free. We deserve it but I have a feeling we will have a late spring this year. Some dumb upper level high pressure has planted its ass over Greenland and refuses to budge thereby putting us in the freezer. Ugh.
4) Thank goodness that blowhard Rex Ryan and his band of idiots, the NY Jets, did not make it to the Super Bowl. I can just imagine the sideshows there would have been with their big mouths running full tilt. It is not often I root for Pittsburgh but I thank them for disposing of them. Now they can make me even happier by losing to the Green Bay Packers. Go Pack!!
5) The Royal Mutt payed a visit to Moronica a couple of weeks ago for the first time in six months. It was like she never left as she remembered all of her boundaries and the little games she loved to play. She even remembered me. She is a brilliant dog who I miss greatly. Too bad she now resides with the Burger Queen.
6) With the Moronican Treasury being as depleted as it is, I wonder why, your King as worked hard in the royal kitchen refining his elaborate skills. Two weeks ago it was spaghetti sauce, today it was chili. Both turned out absolutely delicious. Just cannot go out like I used to but I do enjoy my efforts in the kitchen. It is like crafting a work of art, each dish a masterpiece in its own right.
7) Of course, for the first time in ages as I am trying to write this nonsense, the Sabres decide to go on a scoring binge. You know full well the moment I stop this and go back to watching the game full time they will not score another goal. I may as well see if I am right. I will let you know as I wish all of you a pleasant evening. Stay warm and dry my friends.
Your Royal Monarch Dinglefritz, King of Moronica.
