Focus On the Family

A 'Christian' fundamentalist fanatical Talban organization founded in 1977 by the self-appointed preacher-teacher-psychologist James Dobson who claims to have been a 'hippie' in his younger days but later 'saw the light'. Or that 'he learned to pray before he could talk'. Depends on what day it is. He DID see a way to steal money. Oh, his ideology 'focuses' on the family and 'family values' alright. As in hatred towards Jews, Muslims, other (real) Christians, homosexuals, 'liberals', the usual rigmarole. Dobson is anti-abortion and advocates violence against Planned Parenthood clinics whether they do abortions in them or not. He even supported the dumb broad Sarah Palin fervently, even when her teen daughter got pregnant just because Sarah is a flamboyant 'GOOD conservative Christian' (as in HYPOCRITE). And he endorses the money-grubbing 'Promise Keepers' rip-off that sprouted in the 90s (remember that bullshit?).

But there's more. He insists on the outdated notion that the sexes aren't equal - the woman MUST be submissive to her man EVEN if he beats the fucking shit outta her. And get this. He says that the teen years are 'tough' (don't we know it!) so his 'solution' is 'father-daughter dances AND dates' as well as having mothers and sons go on DATES! Yeah, 'Take Mom to the Prom'! WHADDAAAAFUUUUUUUUUKKKK!!!!! Incestuous, obscene, sickening to the max! Dobson stepped down as the head in 2010 to host a radio showbut still has a large influence in this CULT.

1. Rage Against The Machine mentioned this fanatic cult with 'They gather round the family/ with a pocket full of shells!'
2. Focus On the Family has a lot of tentacles of influence encircling media, TV, political friends - all intended to fill the pockets of liars and robbers. They probably kowtow to the ANTICHRIST dirtbag Traitortrump too because they sure don't follow the real Christ.

3. If you have a family of your own - focus on YOUR family. Follow your heart, pursue a real religion but DON'T have anything to do Focus On the Family. It's a fraudulent enterprise of brainwashing, greed and hatred.

as old as the Rolling Stones

Quite simply, since the "World's Greatest Rock'N'Roll Band" is still around today (they formed in 1962), they still put out great albums ("A Bigger Bang" is REALLY good!), they still deliver great shows (I saw them live in 1997), as well as the fact they invented hard rock which set the foundation for many more styles like heavy metal, punk rock and more, and most of the original rock'n'rollers are either dead (Chuck Berry and Little Richard are exceptions) or the original superstar bands are disbanded then this term refers to age and generations. Yet the Stones still draw in so many fans of all ages because they're still vibrant and alive despite their years. Because of their legendary ground-breaking status the Rolling Stones are also nicknamed the Granddaddies of Rock'N'Roll, or similar appelations.

I saw Live 8 on TV. I saw Will Smith do a brief set and up next was the psychedelic rock powerhouse Pink Floyd. Of the four musicians, bassist Roger Waters looked the best - he sported a shock of gray hair, yet he still had all his hair. On the other hand, what hair guitarist David Gilmour had left was thinning and nearly white and he had a paunch. Drummer Nick Mason and keyboardist Richard Wright (R.I.P.) had their hair salt and pepper laced with gray. Still, they played really well. It's sad to realize that this was to be the last Pink Floyd show ever but this unforgettable evening was a wonderful way for the band to make their fare-dee-well. After I saw this I switched off the boob tube and told my folks about it outside. I had seen Pink Floyd live in 1994 and they looked different (older) in 2005. My dad said "What do you figure? Pink Floyd is as old as the Rolling Stones". Well, Pink Floyd DID form before I was born. Who will carry the torch? Richard Wright, R.I.P.

planet Saturn

a position of extremely high elation. Usually happens when one has made a major achievement or passed a major hurdle or step up in ones life.

When Donny passed the comprehensive exam for U.S. Naval Nuclear Power School he wasn't just floating on Cloud 9, he was racing around the planet Saturn. It was the happiest moment of his life.

Smoke and Coke

In the U.S. Navy, in some commands, this is a term meaning "break time". You can use the head (restroom), have a smoke, drink a cola drink, share a joke, talk about anything. AKA "Coke and Joke".

We're in a specialty school and it's 1 o'clock. Time for a Smoke and Coke.

Zip it!

a popular catch-all term first widely used by loudmouth TV show host Morton Downey Jr.. He was always popping off the chops about what he believed in and he frequently shoved his ideas on others and shouted down his rivals/opponents/adversaries/whatever by trying to have the last word on everything, name calling, interjecting put-downs, shooting his mouth off like a kid and often giving the final retort of "Zip it!". His show caused quite a stir in 1988 - 1989, it was what people in colleges and workplaces discussed a lot. The worse legacy from it all is that in the coming decade and into the 21st century a tidal wave of sensational journalism, obnoxious TV and radio dunderheads, stupid one track mind politicians and other cretins belching nerve gas, intolerant attitudes and hatred would pollute the media, government and entertainment worlds.

Most TV, radio, other forms of entertainment and political commentary is justegotistical trash. There's just a bunch of arrogant screechy foos who are rigid and not open to other ideas. They tell others to "Zip it!" or to "fuck yourself" like a certain Dick said to a Congress man all those years ago, and there is a stench of arrogant pushoverness, closed-mindedness and egos larger than the planet Jupiter (and that's HUGE, fellas! Over 1500 X larger than Earth). I wish people would zip it and listen to each other again. I wish there was respect for diverse ideas and such again. Everybody zip it. You don't have all the right answers to everything. Neither do I.

Pebble Factory

quite simply, any prison where inmates serve their sentences with "hard labor". It's a reference to "breaking rocks in the hot sun" as described in "I Fought the Law (And the Law Won)" by the Bobby Fuller Four or the Clash, depending on what generation you belong to.

David Do-No-Good got sentenced to 12 years at a pebble factory (along with other things) because he sexually molested his very young daughter. It's unbelievable why anyone would do such a horrible thing like that.
