A Sordid Tale
I have a coupla neighbors, who I'll call Felix and Oscar.. If you are thinkin along the lines of The Odd Couple you would be correct.. Oscar is Mescan descent born in America and Felix is black.. They got cross-wised today and Felix decided to vent his frustrations by gettin violent and Oscar came out in the front yard and saw me and the Mrs. outside and asked us to call the cops for him..
They showed up and inspected the blood and wounds on Oscar and took Felix to jail to cool till Monday.. After that we got Oscar to come over and sit and have a few coldbeers with us and talk..
Seems that Felix is gonna be lookin for a new place to live when he gets out Monday, and we found out that Oscar has Depression Tendencies, so I have been keepin an eye on him this evenin..
We talked Oscar into goin down to the Tex-Mex Cafe I was talkin bout the other day and he loved their food and its a comfort to him to get food here that he is accustomed to gettin in San Antone where he is from.. And so we got some food in him and convinced him that the best place for Felix is in the jail where he caint hurt himself or anybody else..
It got dark and we all moved to our own respective indoors and then a little bit ago I noticed that Oscar had come outside and was listenin to some kinda sad music on his car stereo, which the big stink was over Felix throwin Oscar's indoor CD player and ruinin it.. So I went over and sat and had a coupla more coldbeers with him and talkin some more and then he went to see if he could talk to some of Felix's relatives to get em to come and get his shit from the house before he got out of jail Monday..
Now, roommate squabbles aint nothin new and I wouldnt even thank bout postin somethin like this if there wadnt a point I wanted to make in doin it.. So, here is my point..
You see, Oscar is a conservative that worked to make ends meet and finally got an entry-level job at Exxon and made a hand for em em and worked himself up in position and when his facility shut down he got a cushy severence package and he invested it and instead of takin a lump sum he gets a regular monthly dividend while the rest still draws interest.. He likes this area and with his Exxon income and with no debts for car or morgage he can take one of the lower payin jobs available here and still live a modest life and be happy..
Felix on the other hand is a liberal and has sponged off his family and friends and has only recently even gotten his own car.. He lives paycheck-to-paycheck workin as a stocker at the Dollar Store and spends most of that runnin up and down the streets and wont even go to interviews for a better payin job.. But since he caint seem to live within his means and since Oscar has this nice extra income it falls on Oscar to pay all the rent, all the utilities, and buy all the food.. Because its not his fault that he pisses all his money away and dont have anythang to contribute..
But aint all us taxpayers in pretty much the same situation ?? How many of our taxpayers dollars have gone to buy those thumpers that have irritated us durin the day and kept us awake at night !! How many car payments you reckon that we have made for those cars with the flashy wheels and new paint job ?? How many bottles of booze or viles of crack you reckon our money has payed for ??
I caint go on without completely losin my cool, but I'm tired of these sunzabitches livin LARGE on my DIME while bitchin bout the waitin line at the bank to cash their checks !!

Damn WB, you must be channeling my thoughts or something.
I rant regularly about this subject, almost to a fault, according to my buds and my daughter.
Talking about waiting in line. I had to go to China West yesterday, cause I had went everywhere else looking for some basinett sheets the right size. Seems the ones I had bought were too little and I had to cut the corners, or they curled up the mattress pad around Sweet Hannah like a cocoon.
Anyway, it was packed, wall to wall Mexicans and I had to grit my teeth behind them in line, watching them using their Lone Star Cards, specking spanish, non stop to each other and the cashiers.
As I understand TeXMex pretty good, (and they don't think or know I do) I am privy to a lot of crap that they talk about that just makes my blood boil.
I have got to quit going in there, before I have another stroke.
Take Care
Papa Ray
A guy walks into the local welfare office, marches straight to the
counter and says, "Hi... you know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd
really rather have a job."
The social worker behind the counter says, "Your timing is excellent.
We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a
chauffeur/bodyguard for his nymphomaniac daughter.
You'll have to drive around in his Mercedes, but he'll supply all of
your clothes. Because of the long hours, meals will be provided."
"You'll be expected to escort her on her overseas holiday trips. You
will have to satisfy her sexual urges. You'll have a two-bedroom
apartment above the garage. The starting salary is $200,000 a year".
The guy says, "You're bullshittin' me!"
The social worker says, "Yeah, well, you started it."
Papa Ray, the Mescans are pourin back in here from up North, IN DROVES !!
I've spent most of the last few days outside and have seen em by the van, U-Haul, and station wagon-load piled with belongins and brown people..
There is a large population of em to the east of me and I have seen groups of em on bicycles and walkin with baby strollers goin by here to the store..
Miss Minnie Pearl lets me know when somebody passes the house on the street and she has almost barked herself hoarse lately !!
I have a buddy(a brotha) that stops by to see me regularly and says the black folks are gettin kinda HOT bout all the wetbacks movin back in ..
I KNOW they are movin back in from up north cause of the vehicle tags and when I hear em runnin a DL check on the poleece radio !! When the cops get a return on the DL check it tells of previous Texas DLs havin been issued but they now have a DL from somewhere up north too..
The factories around here are layin em off by the 100's and that means that the Welfare Office is gonna be P.A.C.K.E.D. for the near-future and Section 8 housin is gonna have the rents double and few vacancies..
Those Lone Star Cards are gonna get a workout too and the grocery stores are gonna be workin overtime to keep stuff on the shelves.. The Mrs. went to the store this mornin and she was talkin bout a lot of stuff she wanted wadnt there today.. Empty shelves !!
A friend of ours is a produce stocker at the store up the street and she had to work an extra half-day this week.. And the shelves are still goin empty..
I really dont believe that the Mescans are gonna cross BACK over the Border tho and are gonna be hangin around here in Texas till we stop all the welfare for em.. Its really gonna be a strain on us to support all of em too !!
I'm with you, WB, and Papa Ray. Enough is enough. I have my ass in hock to the IRS - long story; suffice to say I'll never loan my tax money to a friend again!!! On top of paying my installment payment, I have to make estimated tax payments. How the hell can you do so today? Damn, if you do everything a good citizen should, with the economy as it is today, there isn't a lot of wiggle room! Unless I charge last year's taxes I will be thrown off my installment plan and a tax lien will be recorded against me. If I were an illegal do you think they'd do this to me? Oh, hell no. What I find really galling is the income tax is illegal!!!!
The blacks (not the good ones, just the welfare bums) are just now realizing that more people on the dole means less money for them. Wonder when the race whores will jump in the fray - Al and Jesse have been awfully quiet.
Wild Bill, I've been in the grocery line a few times when one of those Felix's you mention would be right ahead of me. Once, one of them had a buggy full of frozen shrimp, plus a few other odds and ends. The clerk checked all that stuff out and asked the woman, "you must be going to have a shrimp boil at your house?". The woman told her "no, this is fish bait, we're going fishing tomorrow". Then she slapped down her food stamp coupon book and paid for the buggy full of shrimp.
Then another time, these two ladies that looked like they must have just came off the street corner after a night of business there was buying this buggy full of meat, steaks, pork chops, all kind of good things to eat. They pulled out the old food stamp coupon book and paid for that. I paid for my measly food supply and walked on out behind them. They pushed the buggy over to a brand spanking new El Dorado Cadillac and loaded it up, while I pushed mine over to my old pickup truck.
There must be some sort of wealth that goes along with those coupons books.
