Chicago Cop Anthony Abbate Gets Fired

By David Stein

Sometimes there is justice. It happened today when that fat, despicable bully Anthony Abbate
was fired as a Chicago policeman. He is the greasy pig who pummeled Karolina Obrycka, the lady
bartender who tried to stop his menacing actions towards
other patrons at Jesse’s Short Stop Inn in the afternoon and evening of
Feb. 19, 2007. He then got more vicious and beat the crap out of Karolina who was only trying to stop him.
He punched and smashed her in the face. All 250 plus pounds of him. It was all thankfully caught on videotape.
That drunken pig would
have probably gotten away with his illegal and brutal actions if he had not been filmed. Yeah. I love it!
Now, what are you going to do Anthony? What does a disgraced
fired ex-cop booted from the force for beating up a woman put on his resume?
Would you have been so ferocious if someone smashed you in the
face with a bottle or hit you over the head with a steel chair if you were fighting someone who could fight back. I hate bullies like Abbate.
They ruin people’s lives. But this time the bullies life got ruined. That’s great.
ruined.

Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan-Discrimination?

By
David Stein

Poor Tiger Woods.  All this trouble over playing a round (lol) with some women. Big deal.  The guy loses his reputation and hundreds of millions in sponsorships and licensing deals with those giant companies out there who are so moral they have to cut ties with him. They are all so full of crap.

How about Michael Jordan and his legendary escapades with women and gambling, too. What did he ever lose? Nothing.  Nike, who he put on the map still stuck to him like glue. Why? Money. Billions. There was no public outcry back when Michael was breaking the morality codes.

But Tiger, who got nailed at the wrong time, has been decimated. Totally destroyed. Look at what will happen to the beautiful game of golf without him. The greatest ever is eviscerated like he had brought typhoid fever to a kindergarten class.  All this without any proof that he ever had sexual relations with any of these women.

If he did then good for him. What a great time he must have had. What stories for all the guys to hear from previously pure as snow Tiger Woods. What a great conspiracy of secrecy that information about him never leaked considering all the contacts and action he had. Start confessing you reporters and other low lives.  Tiger and his Tigers have been a better kept secret then how a nuclear bomb is made.

In fact, it seems he may be a human sexual nuclear bomb. What if he is as big a hitter in bed as he is on the golf course? Whoa! Look at the following of hotties he supposedly had. No Viagra for him. I’m so jealous.

Anyone see him in bed with any of his supposed brigade of mistresses? He has been tried and convicted without real evidence. Get his DNA please and let’s make a court case out of this to get the full commercial value.

Step back David Letterman, Magic Johnson, Anna Nicole Smith, and a ton of others in the public eye. You aren’t news anymore.

Once upon a time it was Elizabeth Taylor scandalizing the nation. John Kennedy did pretty well with the women too. Pretty good stud I think.  But, by the time Bill Clinton went for a quick one the gloves of an offended nation came off.

I wonder, in my sick mind, which famous person, celebrity or athlete has actually done the deed with more women or as much frequency. Who is the champion of each era? Which man or woman?

Many of the famous and probably more of the not famous have had affairs in the thousands.

Eventually, sexual trysts will be a source of pride, not shame, I predict.  But not in time to help Tiger and his team of Tigers.

Flomax Decreases Sex Drive

I take Flomax and it works from fairly well to excellent on various days. I think it’s effectiveness has something to do with the foods I eat. Anyway, sometimes I pee like a racehorse and sometimes I still pee like there is a plug in my penis as I did before taking Flomax . Overall, it has relieved my problem with difficult and frequent urination,  I think it’s effectiveness has something to do with unexplainable bodily functions that vary from day to day.

However, the bad news is what they do not really tell you in the ads and commercials for Flomax. Your sex drive may suffer. Mine definitely did. It has not only decreased the output of semen as the makers admit. It has all but wiped out my good old intense sex drive. I am not the same sexual animal now after starting to take Flomax a few years ago that I was before I did.

Immediately, after I started it I lost my jungle boy sexual urges. I am a 61 year old man and I am in good health so other health issues are not the problem. I know that Flomax has significantly decreased my sex drive. When I make love now I can still maintain a good, long erection and have a strong climax. But that’s only about once every two or three weeks instead of once every two or three days. Being able to urinate much better is still a great tradeoff so I do recommend Flomax for men with (BPH) enlarged prostate problems.

 Standing over the toilet bowl in frustration waiting for a sprinkle has mostlydisappeared. I’ll settle for a good pee nowadays. unfortunately.
