I've been gone for awhile1 BUT, I do have a couple of assholes saved on my phone and a couple of videos. I just have not have not had the time.
HOWEVER, I did see this video of Rick Perry and it was more than enough to have our first (of many) Inductees to the Assholes. That's right, he is an absolute permanent fixture after watching this you will understand why.
He, his campaign and their message is ripe with hypocrisy, hate, lack of historical facts about just utter lack of theology. Faith did not make America strong; in fact the only thing that faith did was ship the first settlers and separatists to the new world to escape religious persecution. Faith made America and rational thinking people victim to an ungodly message.
What is so damn wrong with gays serving openly in the military? Still? People who have a problem with gay and lesbian people serving in our military should enlist and then try to explain to me why it would matter. Would it matter when and if your platoon came under attack the person who may have saved your life was a gay soldier? I'm sure if Rick Perry's son or daughter were to even join the service, he be singing a different tune. The statement he made in this video is so asinine and when we look back years to come, we're going to think, "What the hell we're we thinking," just like we do about the Civil Rights movements of the 60's. What a ridiculous and archaic thing to say.
Also Mr. Perry, the forefathers who were believers in separation of the church and the state. Rick Perry is just so wrong but I'm sure he is pandering to religious voters who vote in record numbers.
He shouldn't be ashamed of being a christian; he should be ashamed of distorting religious rhetoric further than the bible has distorted any divine messages.

Asshole of the Day - The 50 dollar Incident
O gosh, there are a plethora of assholes in this situation; you decide who was right and who was wrong.
So after celebrating Halloween in the city and getting home at the early hour of the morning, my friend and I took a small bus that is usually parked on the side of the Port Authority. It was the first time my friend had taken one of these buses and in my state I forgot that these buses are hotbeds for assholes especially drunk assholes and better yet, drunk assholes in costumes!
As we got on the bus, I paid for us with a 20 dollar bill, the bus driver gave me a 50 dollar bill in change and was going to give me more. "I gave you a 20," I quickly told him; to which I recall him saying something like "I'm giving you change!" Then I showed him the 50 dollar bill in my hand. "Thanks, thanks a lot," he said under his breath.
We took our seats and began to talk, briefly about the fact that I could have kept my mouth shut and taken the money, but karma made me do it, I don't want that evil on me... While we were talking about that this happened:
hahaha. OK she was asshole, I don't agree with how she went about it and she should have counted her money better.
But this man needs to learn how to count, lol. I think he ended up giving her money back.

Asshole of the Day - NJ Teacher Vicki Knox
I've pretty much have had enough of this. When will people realize that Human Rights AND Civil Rights does not stop with the color of one's skin, it has to be extended to everyone.
Civil Rights did not end when segregation ended. Civil Rights Movements continue and rightfully until "all men are created equal," is a practiced fact.
Miss Knox, you should be ashamed of yourself. Rid the schools of toxicity. I know so many teachers, good teachers, qualified teachers looking for work that would love to have her job, give her job to a real teacher.
This is what happens when you let archaic systems of belief dictate your whole life and missing the meaning behind it. Religion is an extension of your attitude, if you're an asshole, chances are you're probably a religious asshole. That's all I am saying about this issue in here:
Sign this petition to stop the dangerous spread of hate:

Asshole of the Day - Who is it?!?!
I luckily haven't had any encounters with assholes for about a month. It's great for me but it proves too hard on all the blog fans! (Anyone wanna write in about their asshole encounters?!?!)
Well today I had an asshole moment on the bus again. I'm sitting on my own because there is a beer can next to my sneaker. A beer can I didn't drink from.
Every time someone got on the bus, they would see my pleasantry and smile, then, they look down and see the beer can and keep walking.
I kinda feel like that nice town you drive through with plans of moving there in the future, then you see a homeless person and your mind suddenly changes.
To make matters worse the can moves back and forth making that noise only beer cans do so well. The person sitting across from me and I must have looked at each other three times. It's that awkward stare.
My biggest problem is deciding who is the bigger asshole, the drunk that left his beer can behind? Or was it the shoddy cleaning lady?
Help!

Asshole of the Day - The Eight-Legged Squatter
Everyone who knows me knows I'm petrified of spiders. The fear has since dwindled but ever since moving to what my grandmother refers to as "el campo," the country, the fear has had a significant resurgence every time this year.
Daddy-long legs are one thing and they even sound comforting, here, we have what are called a wolf spiders...sounds friendly right. The other day, I remembered we were "in season" when I almost came face to face with it as it made its first appearance. These spiders are so big they sometimes make me late to wherever I have to go because I'm still trying to comprehend how I let it get so close.
So I did what anyone (only me) would do, I sprayed half a bottle of Febreze on it; it was the only thing close enough to me.
(sorry PETA, you can suck my c*ck.)
So I was half an hour late to meeting my friend. I got back home assured that the spider would have died a fresh and horrible death. I walked by, still cautiously mind you, and to my surprise it was alive and hiding behind the door sill! So I had a "Kill Bill" moment and thought, "ok, it's tough, it deserves to live."
A week later, this asshole is encroaching on more of my property! it has blocked my entire walkway. After a couple of days of climbing over my stoop to avoid messing up its web I think my brother-in-law took it down yesterday, but only after I cowardly ran through my garage door to avoid having it hit my head, to which my sister saw and laughed.
This morning, I noticed it built another web! It was shoddy, but if I were a spider, I'd be pissed, he made it in one night! I'm just going to have to relocate it.

Asshole of the Day - The Self-Hating Gay Representatitive
I don't think I need to say much on this guy He co-sponsored a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, then
discreetly answers an ad on craigslist.com posted by an 18-year-old man for "a really good time" in a hotel room. The man claimed that when they were in the hotel room, Hinkle "grabbed him in the rear, dropped his towel and sat down on the bed — naked."

Asshole of the Day - The Passed Out Drunk Guy
This is probably my funniest asshole moment.
Ok, I debated on putting this one up. But you know what, it's all in fun, also there are mean assholes, like that Jamba Juice girl (remember?) then there are funny assholes (the female bus driver). This guy falls under the more funny side of Asshole-dom. I showed the video to two of my friends and one said, "Don't do that, do put it up," and the other said, "Dude the karma." I thought my karma or this guys? PLUS, if someone has video of me this bad, I'm begging you put it up, lol. I'd get a kick to be on someone's asshole list because then I'd have to take the shame.
SO I went out with my friends and while we're walking up 7th ave. and 22nd, and taking pictures on random peoples motorcycles (my friend is an avid collector of pictures featuring himself on chained up bikes and motorcycles.) So as we're crossing the street we see an ambulance. I thought it was something really serious but then again there were only two EMT's standing over this guy. There was no rush, no feeling of emergency.
I looked down and it was a drunk guy. In fact, he was fucking TOASTED. I immediately, in my less than sober state said, "OH! I have to get a picture of him, I need an asshole of the day! Thousands of people are counting on me!" Thousands....to which my friend Peter replied, "NO! You can't he hasn't done anything to you remember?!" Which is true, I was about to break my own rule, and I think it was a commandment too. I was going to make someone an asshole for the blog's sake. I felt like a cop pulling people over at the end of the month just to meet their quotas (myth?)
So whatever we let this situation be and walked away. We went to another bar and had two drinks and were there for nearly an hour and half. We were waiting on another friend to finish his shift before heading out. So we decided to walk over and see if our friend was on his way. Now remember this is a good hour and a half later....WHO DO WE SEE AGAIN!? Now, I don't know about you but I thought this guy was asking for it now, lol. He convinced the EMT's somehow that he was ok...walked a block made a right and passed out in front of, I don't know, his apt complex. Meanwhile noone had called anyone, so they are probably like, Oh there's Jack again, hahaha, at least he has his clothes on now, hahaha"
I looked at Peter and said, "Sorry but now this jerk is an asshole of the day!" But a funny one! Look I've been here before...you probably have to. I'm not judging at all. But I don't think I have EVER been like this alone. and on the street, left here to be victimized by anyone, including a guy with a camera, a dream and a sense of humor.
So, I recently was allowed to upgrade to an iphone, thanks to Verizon feeling sorry for me and my Droid. Which explains the clearer pictures AND my interview with this guy. Be forewarned:
IT IS NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO LACK A SENSE OF HUMOR.
I think you will find we were genuinely concerned as citizens of the planet. Also, can you get arrested for something like this? Who know maybe he was just THAT tired. Either way, enjoy.

Asshole of the Day - The Broadway Asshole - Headshots and Resumes!
I took the NJ Transit line today, because I just happened to have the extra .70 today and decided I was going to splurge so I can get some air conditioning, a driver that doesn't talk on his cell phone, cushioned seating, and a little light that shines right on my book (currently The Zombie Combat Manual...I still have some interviews I need to grab.)
So I get on and I walk down the runway and take my seat. I take my book out and start reading. There was a lady sitting on my left side a row behind me, I could see her with my 20-20 peripheral; they are doing that thing were they talk just loud enough to have someone either think "oh! I wonder what they do....oh!" or have someone ask them, "oh! What do you girls, do!" To which someone fed their ego, this older gentleman and they replied, "oh we're on Broadway," and they continued to talk.
Look, I'm not going to take anything away from them, it's hard work to get on B-way, but a lot of things are hard work. The bus was not even that crowded for them to be praising themselves so much. At this point, I would have preferred them sitting there, stage ready in their costumes; that would have been less distracting.
So they go on talking about their one friend who is "inconsiderate" of her family because she auditioned for a traveling show and her husband "must feel emasculated" because he can't get a gig....blah, blah, blah great friends right?! The best line was "She's a girl, I can't even call her a woman...."
That's precisely when I posted on facebook; I knew I had a sure asshole. Oh how badly I wanted to turn around and just take pictures...but I couldn't, knowing them they would have smiled, even if I said this is going on my asshole of the day blog, they would have given me their headshots and resumes!
So then this broadway asshole reveals that it's her last day on Saturday at a show on 45th st. Her boss' son or brother is Michael Schumacher.... so I changed my seat and looked back to see what she looked like and I thought, "Ok maybe she's in Shrek...or some circus show..." the whole time making herself sound so grandiose.
Anyhow a phone conversation with her broadway friend who is straight but researching for a gay role at Fire Island............and we're off the bus.

"She's right behind me! I took some video but that's not enough! I know I didn't get her, I got her friend. OK, you have to slow down and just get one shot, even if it's not good, even if it's blurry, give people a visual. "
I snapped away, but remember I have a droid, so it doesn't take fast pictures. Here she is.
Turns out she works in the musical the Lion King...Yah, I do my research for everything I do. lol. I couldn't get a face pic off their page because it's under construction and I have to work too! ;-)
Moral: Don't talk about yourself, at least not loud in public, you may have just made someone's day in a way you didn't want to!
(if I find her name, I will tag this to her...imagine googling yourself and finding yourself on this blog-)

Asshole of the Day - The Line Cutter
I'm still working out the kinks here but I will be posting Assholes of the day on this blog. Bare with me and enjoy as I get this all looking purrrrty. And I still have a problem only posting Assholes, so I'm going to implement something to balance the bad with the good :)
Ok so for real, I'm not looking for these people, but they just keep popping up! I missed my yoga class today due to an overwhelmingly long line to leave the city. It's fine I didn't have it in my schedule for today but I thought I could try and make it. So I got to the end of the line and I stood in front of this girl (whom you will see in the video). Well she was already in the running for asshole of the day when I unplugged my headphones from my phone and my music was on. She turned and shushed me....as if
A.) it was really that loud and
B.) the rest of New York was much quieter than my phone
I let it go I was like eh whatever maybe it was by her ear or she had a bad day, whatever. So as were waiting in line one of her friends or coworkers sees her and starts talking to her. Oh but wait, not like talking talking, the talking where he very slowly gets on the line, not where he's supposed to....no right next to her, cutting about 20 to 30 people. Look I don't give a shit. If I had to go to the bathroom, maybe I would, if I had a chance to get to yoga and there was one seat left and it were me and him I would TOTALLY call him out, but today was one of those days. I could understand if they were like boyfriend and girlfriend, great friends, but the conversation was barely a conversation, it was awkward at best. This still doesn't excuse him from being the asshole of the day or her the asshole of the day by proxy. Don't cut lines people!
