Welcome to Oma-Hell

Well true followers, the budget deficit crisis in Omaha Ne, is nowhere close to being solved in my opinion; The city council did pass a 2.4 cent property tax increase to try to close the gap in the budget. The Mayor of Omaha in his "infinite" wisdom wants to institute the $50.00 satellite dish inspection fee, $ 900,000 property tax increase and a 300,000 building inspection fee. Property tax increases are a given in this economy, I can understand that but the $50.00 inspection fee that is just a joke. It has been said that if this goes through the fcc will be invoked to stop this as an illegal tax. Finally to add insult to injury to the working people of Omaha Mayor suttle wants to force city employees to take a 2.5 day furlough to cover the shortfall this includes police and fire personnel also, does this sound like a bad idea to anyone else but me?? I have lived in this town since 1980 I have never heard such a load of elitist bullshit as this. The mayor wants employees of the city to take almost 3 days off work and deprive their families of that income yet he still drives around in a $10,000+ leased suv that was paid for with city funds. The Angry One wishes to know why you need an suv? Are,nt their enough of those things on the roads of Omaha without you driving around in one? Shame on you mr mayor !

Kanye West WTF??

Even the president called this guy a "jackass", even though it was in an off the record portion of an interview which the reporter Terry Moran tweeted to the twitter community which he later retracted and abc apologized for. Kanye West behavior was totally uncalled for and a simple i'm sorry to Taylor Swift in the nation media is not really sincere enough. GROW THE FUCK UP KANYE !!!!!! That was Taylors Swifts moment why were you being such an insecure child? and why did you feel that you had to grandstand and try to steal her thunder?

Here is a news flash for you Kanye we don't need to see you face in front of a camera every 15 seconds. Why don't you concentrate on making and producing music rather than showboating every time you see a camera or camcorder. Lets face it True Followers we are not suffering a shortage of dysfunctional celebrities at this point in time, but for the ones that are out there can you keep you hi-jinks to a minimum. HASN'T THE WORLD LOST ENOUGH ARTISTS RECENTLY THAT WE HAVE TO PUT UP WITH YOUR CHILDISH BEHAVIORS??

Yes you did apologize I will give you credit for that, moving on be the man you imagine yourself to be and don't repeat this shit..

No one escapes the eye of the Angry one...

R.I.P PATRICK SWAYZE..

This is the first installment of the Jack Angry Show blog, I will be using this space to put down some of my thoughts. Usually they will be of a more raucous vein, that will be for another time.
As I stated in a twitter post. "Heaven Became brighter by 1 star and our world got a little darker."
By losing this dancer,actor, man whatever adjective you use to describe him our world diminished because he is no longer in it to provide the example for the rest of us to follow. The Lesson we should all take from this is that nothing is certain, and no guarantee of tomorrow is given.
Patrick Swayze, did a film early on in his career in 1988 the movie was called Steel Dawn it was done in the same vein of the Mad Max films.. A nomadic warrior comes out of the wilderness to protect a village from a post apocalyptic hoard bent on stealing their water and their women. The
film was nothing spectacular but the acting Patrick Swayze did was. Being a fan from the time I saw Red Dawn, I could excuse the grade B plot, and production values. I was a treat to watch Patrick Swayze in the film non the less.

I can only imagine the struggle that the last year of his life were dealing with his illness, I
would say that he dealt with them as best he could and still went on to inspire many of us to strive on, and if not to defeat all of the obstacles we are give but to at the very least fight well which he did. In closing I want to post the text of a poem that i feel would have made a good
tribute to this extraordinary person.

DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT

By Dylan Thomas
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.


I hope you have enjoyed this and that you will take a moment to appreciate the days we are given, because there is no promise of another day.

Judging from the emails I have received there are a lot of you, rest assured true followers Jack Angry is back and back with a vengeance. My alter ego and I have been going through some rough times, we both realize that sitting around crying about your problems and what we think someone owes us will get you exactly that nothing. That is going to change and change right fucking now.

The Man in the hat and the Glasses is back, Ready or not world I am going right down your throat. Lets see if you got the belly for it....
