Greetings! Are you looking for Mark Lysinger of El Paso, Texas? Maybe you're a relative. Perhaps an old friend. Well, take my advice and stay as far away from this scumbag as possible. Mark Lysinger is a filthy stinking animal, metaphorically, of course.

Mark Lysinger is a filthy, chain smoking individual with no regard for anyone but himself. Babies, toddlers, pregnant women, senior citizens, and the general population at large are at risk every time Mark Lysinger is near. If you happen to catch Mr. Lysinger on the rare occasion when he doesn't have a cigarette in his mouth - KEEP YOUR DISTANCE. Because even though Mark Lysinger will not be belching out his dangerous second hand smoke - his foul personal odor will make you just as sick. Did I mention that Mark Lysinger is a filthy stinking animal?

Mr. Lysinger is a graduate of Ohio State University. Mr. Lysinger is a "has been". He has been Faculty at OSU, he has been a Ford Motor Department Manager, he has been a Business Consultant, and he has been an Independent Insurance Agent. Mr. Lysinger is now retired and an active member of SCORE in El Paso - AND A CHAIN SMOKING FILTHY STINKING ANIMAL.

I don't know how old Mr. Lysinger is. He must be at least 70 or so. I Pray that if Mr. Lysinger does not give up his filthy smoking habit voluntarily - then let it be an act of God that forces him to quit. The man is an absolute SCUMBAG. Mark Lysinger is the most disgusting individual I have ever known.

I hope you found this post helpful.

Gilbert Sanchez, District Clerk - El Paso, Texas

Roger That — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 03:51:00 +0000

Gilbert Sanchez, District Clerk for the County of El Paso in the State of Texas, SUCKS HARD. One of his duties, and it may be his only duty for all I know, is to harass and coerce law abiding citizens with a Summons For Jury Duty.

I use the word "harass" because in less than one year I myself have received no less than 6 of these "Summons" from Mr. Sanchez. But not once was I seated as a Juror. In fact, the day before each "Reporting Date" I received a recorded telephone message letting me know that my Court had been canceled.

When I use the word "coerce" I mean that in Mr. Sanchez's Summons he lets you know right off the bat that if you fail to return the questionnaire or fail to appear for Jury Duty, you will be punished. And the threat of punishment is made all that more official by having the El Paso County Sheriff be the one who actually summons you.

In this case, the Sheriff is Leo Samaniego. Now, I don't want to bad mouth Leo Samaniego - he's dead. That's right. Mr. Sanchez is using a dead Sheriff to Summon Jurors. If you ask me, that's pretty sickening and it's disrespectful to the late Sheriff and his family. Mr. Samaniego served this community well for many years. El Paso is proud of his accomplishments. But the fact remains, he's dead. Mr. Sanchez, show some respect for the dead Sheriff and let him rest in peace.

My friends, let me be clear about this. Mr. Sanchez doesn't want you for Jury Duty. He routinely sends out thousands of these Summons. No, what he really wants is for you to blow off that questionnaire or fail to show up on your court date. That's so he can enforce the contempt action and go after all those fines and fees. And those fines and fees run into several hundred dollars for each person. I've been a defendant in that court before. "Jury Duty Court". They put some old drunk in a robe who doesn't give a crap about anything but handing out fines and who's buying the next round, and call him "Judge" - "Your Honor". What a joke. The day I went there must have been a thousand people who showed up for that court. I wouldn't be surprised if Jury Duty Court goes on all day - every day. It's easy money for Sanchez and the other thieves in the system.

So what it all boils down to is that Mr. Sanchez has come up with a creative way to raise more money for the elected thieves and useless bureaucrats in our local government. It's ill gotten gains. Money stolen from the hardworking, law abiding, overtaxed citizens of El Paso, Texas. Mr. Sanchez, you suck!

Cardpayment Solutions aka iPayment Inc., and Payjunction Suck

Roger That — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 01:51:00 +0000

It never ceases to amaze me how thieving and greedy the American banks and credit card companies really are. The following is a true story about Cardpayment Solutions aka iPayment, Inc. out of Calabasas, California. If you are in business and accept credit cards, this story will make you want to throw up.

About a month ago I sold some piping components to a company in West Virginia. I took their credit card as I had done several times in the past. The amount this time was $5839.51. The sale was approved and I began getting their order ready to ship. Two days later on a Saturday afternoon, I was enjoying time with my family when I received a phone call from Cardpayment Solutions informing me that the payment for that sale was being held pending verification because I was over my limit. They told me the verification process would take longer than a week. So what I did was just credit the sale back to the buyer and make other payment arrangements. No problem, right? Well, that's what I thought until I got my statement today from Card Payment Solutions. What I read on that statement made me sick. Cardpayment Solutions charged me $128.47 for charging the card in the first place, then when I credited the card back, they charged me another 128.47 plus all their nickel and dime fees. Over $256.00 in charges and fees for money I never got. That's a fact.

When I called to inquire about it they just told me that's the deal. I'm sure it's in the "contract" somewhere. I'll admit that I never read the contract in it's entirety. As I recall it was about 8 or 9 pages and the print was about a font size 1. The fellow at Payjunction who originally sold me on the deal just highlighted the "important" stuff and told me to sign it and fax it in.

It didn't take long after I signed the contract before I realized I had been hustled by Payjunction and Cardpayment Solutions. The first thing they did was hit me up for an annual service fee. That was a change they made to the contract right after I signed it. You see, Cardpayment Solutions can change the contract any time they want, for any reason. But, if I refuse to pay them, they'll just report me to the credit agencies - which can only result in bad credit history for me.

So, I just lay down and take it. In May, my contract with Payjunction and Cardpayment Solutions finally expires and I will be out and free again. In the meantime I am not using them. If you are considering doing business with either one of these companies, I strongly recommend that you NOT.

Cardpayment Solutions, iPayment, Inc., and Payjunction are, without a doubt, the sleaziest corporate con artists I have ever come across and should be avoided like bottled water from China.

Since this incident I have gone back to using Paypal, and have just recently signed up with Google Checkout. I've never had a single problem with Paypal, and Google is a name that I trust - certainly more than Payjunction, Card Payment Solutions, and Wells Fargo (who is somehow affiliated with iPayment, Inc. and Cardpayment Solutions).

Final words, stay away from Cardpayment Solutions, iPayment, Inc., and Payjunction. They all suck, and they'll all rip you off.

George Bush Jr. is the idiot that other idiots look up to for inspiration. He wants to stimulate the economy by giving away 145 billion dollars, borrowed from Communist Red China mind you, so the American Taxpayer will go out and buy a bunch of crap that was made in Communist Red China. How is that good for the United States?

Our problem here is that we’re always looking for the quick fix. That moron in the White House is desperately trying not to go down as the worst train wreck in the history of the world. But that’s what he is and that’s what he’ll always be.

Just let whatever is happening - happen. Let it all puke out. Everybody should just hold fast and when it’s all over we’ll be a better country for it.

Just say NO to crap made in Communist Red China.

China, Communist Red, One Each

Roger That — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 04:36:00 +0000

RECENTLY, I had the opportunity to exchange a few emails with a fellow by the name of Mr. Bai who claimed to be from Communist Red China. The emails from Mr. Bai seemed friendly enough at first. But I noticed right off the bat that he was full of shit and completely inaccurate about the history of the United States and Chinese relations. As I began to challenge Mr. Bai on his facts I started to sense his frustration and fear, and he became belligerent and hateful in his remarks toward me and the people of the United States of America. The last line from the last email I received from Mr. Bai stated the following, "Anyway, thanks for your concerns about our environment. I think we handle this problem much much better than you did when USA experienced the industrial infancy period." Of course anyone with any common sense would know that over the last 175 years the United States has learned much about dealing with air pollution, water pollution, and toxic waste. New technologies and equipment are constantly being developed to deal with these problems. All of this new technology and equipment has been available to Communist Red China but they refuse to use it. Why? Because the cost is too high. Clean burning coal is not cheap. Water treatment is not cheap. Proper disposal of toxic waste just adds to the cost of the crap they make in Communist Red China and that would hurt their export business....so they don't do it. And that is why I continue to beat the drum. Just say NO to crap made in Communist Red China.

Bush Condemns Bhutto Assassination

Roger That — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 14:00:00 +0000

George Bush is a moron. That is an indisputable fact. Regarding the "assassination" of Benazir Bhutto, well, she was on a suicide mission. It wasn't a question of if, but when. The woman was obsessed with it. She was inviting it. That's the the way she wanted it, so, she got it. What’s the big deal? Nothing changes. Pakistan remains a nation of Muslim Terrorists bent on self destruction. Heat it up. I hope they get what they want (and deserve) too.

China not Russia

Roger That — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 22:34:00 +0000

I'm sick and tired of all the badmouthing and putting down of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Mr. Putin is not an enemy of the United States. He could be one of our best friends if we’d give him some space and quit dogging him out for every little thing. Most of the people in Russia are pretty happy with the job Putin has done. Unlike here in the the United States where toilet water is more popular than George Bush.

Keep in mind now that Russia doesn’t send us deadly products or poison food. You don’t read about Russia hacking into the pentagon or pirating American products. They don’t need our money and they damned sure don’t need lip service from the Bush Administration. Russia is not our enemy. Communist Red China is the enemy here. They’re pigs. Greedy fricking pigs. And they’ve got their eye’s keenly focused on Russia and it's declining population.

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer". Right now it looks like Red China and Russia are joined at the hip. But Russia's got all the resources while Red China is nothing more than a toxic dump. Russia makes up about 30% of Eurasia in size but only has about 145 million citizens, and declining. If there’s going be a third world war it’s going to be started by Communist Red China in Russia. Red China's hunger for oil and gas and every other thing this world has to offer is growing by leaps and bounds and as resource rich Russia tightens the supply and raises the prices Red China will become frustrated and scared. That’s when they'll make their move against Russia and that’s when hell comes to dinner. At that point Russia and the United States will come together to slaughter the greedy communist pigs of Red China. And in my opinion, today wouldn't be too soon.

Just say "NO" to crap made in Communist Red China.

Doctor Cell Phone Sucks

Roger That — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 16:28:00 +0000

If you are searching for a review or reference on Dr. Cell Phone out of Dallas, Texas, you have come to the right place. I give Doctor Cell Phone a failing grade when it comes to quality work and customer service. Oh, they have a pretty website and all, but that and $1.75 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

I sent my Palm Treo in to Doctor Cell Phone to be repaired a couple weeks ago. It was not charging. The part of the phone where the charging plug is inserted was damaged or loose and a proper charging connection could not be made. Dr Cell Phone called me up and said they could fix it for $64.99 plus shipping and tax. Sounded like a good deal considering the phone cost me $500.00.

After I paid them and got the phone back it charged up once and then quit again. I sent the phone back and a couple days later I received a call from Dr. Cell Phone. The "technician" asked me why I had sent it back and I told him about the charging problem again. He told me it was probably my charger that was bad. Well, I told him I had three chargers and asked him what the odds were of all three chargers going bad at the same time. Of course his answer was "well, it works perfectly now". I realized right then that I had just been taken for more than $80.00. They sent the phone back by Fedex Ground - to a Post Office Box. The phone was eventually delivered to the wrong address.

I would not recommend using Dr. Cell Phone. Based on my experience with Doctor Cell Phone the chances are pretty good that you will just be throwing your money away. I think they are liars and cheats and will say anything to get your money.

I have since bought a new phone and am paying the $7.00 monthly insurance for it now. I hope that doesn't turn out to be a scam too.

Richard Greene, EPA Region 6 Director

Roger That — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 10:29:00 +0000

That's Jeffrey Dahmer on the right. As far as I know he was not related to Mr. Greene though (despite several points of likeness) and he was never associated with the EPA. Jeffrey Dahmer was just a sick, deranged individual.

Of course that's Richard E. Greene himself (who sucks) on the left. Now I know why Richard Greene sucks so hard. Turns out he was appointed by none other than George Bush. And everyone knows that George Bush is the biggest idiot in the history of the United States. No wonder Richard Greene likes to throw taxpayer money away. George Bush is the icon for waste, fraud and abuse.

Eileen McMahon, EPA Office of Inspector General

Roger That — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 01:23:00 +0000

Eileen McMahon wouldn't know waste, fraud and abuse if it walked up and bit her on her tits. Eileen McMahon of the EPA Office of Inspector General (OIG) is just another example of the lazy, useless, and morally bankrupt bureaucrats running the Environmental Protection Agency. Eileen McMahon is so lazy she doesn't even sign her own correspondence. For all I know she doesn't even do the correspondence. It makes me wonder if Eileen McMahon does anything at the EPA.

Eileen McMahon was supposed to investigate another "good for nothing" at the EPA, Richard E. Greene, for malfeasance in his duties as EPA Region Six Director. I don't think she did anything but cover his sorry ass though. That's what they do best in Washington isn't it, cover up. While neither one of these two pukes may be an actual thief, either one of them could have stopped a taxpayer fleecing here in El Paso. It's sickening.

Eileen McMahon and Richard Greene of the EPA are two of a kind. Typical bureaucratic slugs. Dead from the neck up, marking time and drawing a paycheck from the people. So when Scumbag First Class Richard E. Greene screwed up, Eileen McMahon was there to cover his ass. What's in it for the American Taxpayers? I'll tell you what, a long dry shaft where the sun don't shine.

No wonder this country is going broke. Eileen McMahon and Richard Greene, you suck!

Review Pear Tree Apartments, El Paso, Texas

Roger That — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 22:41:00 +0000

Greetings from El Paso, Texas. If you're looking for an apartment on the west side of El Paso chances are you will come across The Pear Tree Apartments. Don't be fooled by the brochure or the fancy write up in your apartment guide though. Unless no one else will take you because you have animals - you definitely won't want to live at The Pear Tree Apartments.

The Pear Tree Apartments is located at 222 Bartlett - just off of Interstate 10 at Exit 11 in El Paso, Texas 79912. The location is convenient enough. Beyond that, BEWARE.

On a scale of 1 - 10, The Pear Tree Apartments gets no more than a 1. The Management is lazy and insensitive to "quality of life". The Pear Tree Apartments is "pet friendly". Their specialty is Stray Cats. You see them running wild at all hours of the day and night. Some of them are sickly and aggressive. Be careful taking your trash out to the garbage dumpster. If the rotten, putrid smell doesn't get you - the 4 or 5 cats that live in these dumpsters will. You'll need to watch your step at The Pear Tree Apartments too. There is Dog and Cat feces all over the property. Nothing says "Welcome Home" like a steaming pile of dog shit.

Cleanliness is not high on The Pear Tree Apartments' list of priorities. In fact, I'm not sure there is a list of priorities at The Pear Tree Apartments. Take the laundry room for example. Most of the time it's filthy. Take a look inside one of the washing machines and you are likely to find a lot of Dog and Cat hair. Same goes for the dryers and the floors. The place is filthy.

Another thing that is particularly disturbing at The Pear Tree Apartments is the condition of the air conditioning and heating ducts. I highly recommend you go out and get yourself some filters for the vents. Many of the ducts are rusted out and every time you turn the blower on - you get a load of rust and dirt in your eyes.

The Pear Tree Apartments is also "Chain Smoker" friendly. Before you sign that lease be sure to give your apartment a good going over. If you should be unlucky enough to live above a chain smoking animal like Mark Lysinger, your life at The Pear Tree Apartments will be miserable. As you well know, smoke rises and at The Pear Tree Apartments there are many entry points in your upstairs apartment where the smoke can come in. The Pear Tree Apartments' construction is "Shoddy" at best. The compartment where your water heater and furnace is kept will probably have to be taped off if you find yourself living above a chain smoking animal like Mark Lysinger. The washing machine box is another entry point for cigarette smoke. An open window, unsealed pipes, and even an electrical outlet are all delivery devices for second hand smoke at the Pear Tree Apartments.

If you are considering a downstairs unit at The Pear Tree Apartments, be sure to check out the balcony above your unit. Many of the upstairs balconies at The Pear Tree Apartments are detaching from the building and are beginning to look like they might give way at any moment. You wouldn't want to be out on the balcony or outside your lower unit when a balcony collapses.

Earlier this year El Paso experienced an unusually high amount of rainfall. Many of the building roofs were leaking. They claim to have repaired the roofs but be sure to check out your ceiling before you rent. Look for a wavy or sagging ceiling. You might be able to see the stains on the ceiling where the water leaked in. Sure, they painted over the stains but they're too cheap to fix the waves and sagging.

Like I stated before, unless you are a chain smoker or enjoy living around a chain smoker, or if you have pets and a no other apartment complex in El Paso will take you - The Pear Tree Apartments should be your last resort.

US Navy Rejects "Humanitarian Aid" From Communist Red China

Roger That — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 14:23:00 +0000

The communist pigs in Red China gave permission for the USS Kitty Hawk and her escorts to make a port visit in Hong Kong over Thanksgiving but then denied permission at the last minute just as the group showed up. Then after they were pressed by officials they changed their mind and approved the visit again, but on "humanitarian grounds".

I feel sorry for the families of those sailors who were waiting in Hong Kong for their loved ones who they have not seen in months. But I believe the Captain did the right thing by pulling anchor and going home. The United States Navy does not need humanitarian aid from Communist Red China. Nor will it be manipulated by communist propaganda just for the sake of liberty. Especially in a shithole like Hong Kong.

Why would anyone want to visit this shithole in the first place?

United States Senator John Cornyn and EPA Region 6 Administrator Richard Greene

Roger That — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 00:37:00 +0000

United States Senator John Cornyn of Texas is a useless politician. And Richard E. Greene, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 Administrator is just another lazy, overpaid, good for nothing, lying bureaucrat. They're both worthless as tits on a boar hog.

Just over a year ago I complained to the EPA about a property here in El Paso that needed cleaning up. It was full of rusted out containers that had been leaking dangerous chemicals and solvents into the ground and atmosphere for years while Richard E. Greene and the EPA stood by and did nothing. Well, finally they cleaned it up. And they did a great job. Such a great job that the owner was able to sell the property for a healthy profit.

Aurora Weston, widow of the late Clark Weston (may he rot in Hell) got the property after that scumbag Clark died. She didn't do anything with it though. She didn't care that the containers were leaking hazardous chemicals and solvents into the ground. She didn't care that the neighbors had to breath that crap and watch those rusty containers getting worse day by day. She didn't try to clean it up. She didn't ask for help. She did none of that. The old bag didn't even bother to pay the property taxes. Aurora Weston is as much to blame for the contamination and environmental damage to that property at 4313 Rosa as her dead husband.

But finally, under the pathetic leadership of Chief Moron Richard E. Greene, the EPA went in and cleaned it up at a huge cost to the Taxpayers. Costs that any reasonable person would think could be recovered through a sale of the property. I guess I underestimated the stupidity and laziness of Richard E. Greene though.

They cleaned it up alright, but never left a bill. Meanwhile, Aurora Weston couldn't get to the tax office fast enough to pay those back taxes. You see, the local government had filed a lawsuit against the old bag for unpaid taxes. As soon as she got those taxes paid though, you better believe she sold that property. What a deal. What a gift from Richard E. Greene. Did Aurora Weston sleep with Richard Greene to get a deal like that? I don't know the answer to that one. It's a disgusting thought though.

So like the good citizen that I am, I complained. First I complained to the EPA in Dallas. What a monumental waste of time that was. Have you ever tried to deal with a lazy bureaucrat? They're useless government lifers marking time and doing as little as possible. And Richard Greene seems to be a master at being useless and lazy.

After getting nowhere with those losers I decided to write my Congressman, Silvestre Reyes and my Senator, John Cornyn. Reyes, being a fat loser and retired bureaucrat himself, never responded. I pretty much expected that. When he's not feeding his fat face at the local taco stand, he's hanging out at the prostitute bars over in Juarez, so I hear. Cornyn, or one of his lackies, did write me back though. He told me he'd check into it. Well, all that lazy bastard did was send a copy of my complaint to none other than Richard E. Greene. That's kinda like sending the fox into the hen house for a head count. It's just stupid.

If Senator Cornyn had any brains he would have turned this over to the Government Accounting Office or some house oversight committee for investigation. Because if this kind of taxpayer fleecing has happened once, it's happened a million times.

Are these two characters corrupt? Probably. You know John Cornyn is for sure. Who ever heard of a politician that couldn't be bought? As far as Richard Greene, well, you don't get to his pay grade without doing a good deal of lying and back stabbing. And at his pay grade, it's pretty much politics anyway. Kissing ass, back stabbing, and yes, even taking bribes.

Our government is broke - our country is broke. The United States of America is in trouble because of the careless leadership of people like John Cornyn and lazy overpaid bums like Richard E. Greene. I wouldn't want to carry their baggage when I leave this earth.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Albuquerque Mayor Martin Chavez to Seek Senate Seat

Roger That — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 02:59:00 +0000

Martin Chavez is probably the biggest lying, thieving, most corrupt politician ever to throw his hat in the ring for any office in the history of the United States. He's pure scum. He's ripped off thousands of taxpayers and has been accused of taking kickbacks and bribes from Redflex and Photonotice.com (the friendly folks who send you speeding tickets in the mail). He must have grafted some serious money during his tenure as Mayor of Albuquerque. Don't send Martin Chavez to Washington. Don't elect him to the U.S. Senate. Martin Chavez will not represent the people of New Mexico. Let's finally be finished with Martin Chavez and send that slimy puke to the unemployment line where he belongs.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon criticized the planned U.S. border fence designed to stem illegal immigration, saying countries should be "building bridges, not fences" in an interview broadcast on Monday.

Mr. Calderon, the bridges are there. The problem is that you encourage people to sneak across through tunnels and dangerous terrain in darkness of night rather than using them. Quit using metaphors and start using the bridges.

Braxton Harris Company Sucks

Roger That — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 03:16:00 +0000

If you just did a web search for "Braxton Harris" and found this blog please do not be surprised when I tell you that Braxton Harris Company of Anniston, Alabama, sucks. I'm talking brown pond water here, folks.

I called them up today and asked for Braxton Harris himself. I thought Mr. Harris, a man so proud of himself, he named his business the Braxton Harris Company, would be easy to talk with. I was totally surprised when Mr. Harris's secretary asked me "who may I say is calling?". When I told her my name, she told me to hold on. When she finally came back on the line she asked me "what is this in regards to?". I told her it was in regards to plumbing supplies. Well, she must not have believed me. She probably thought I was a bill collector, a lawyer, or someone chasing Mr. Harris down for money owed. Sadly, I never got to talk with Braxton Harris.

The way I figure it, if you're gonna do business under your own name, you damned well better like talking to people. There are men and women out there running businesses a hundred times bigger and more successful than Braxton Harris who never hesitate to pick up the phone.

Braxton Harris, on the other hand, hides behind a secretary keen on shielding her boss from a brush with anyone unfamiliar. Had Mr. Harris picked up that phone today he might have made a new friend who buys a lot of stuff and pays for it fast. Instead, he goes on, believing he's God's gift to the industry. Well, he's wrong.

Get well soon, Braxton Harris. You're suckin', dude.

Senator Larry Craig Sucks

Does Senator Larry Craig suck? Or Does he suck? I guess it depends on who's asking the question and in what context. Good old Larry says he's not gay. Well, who cares? Being gay is not against the law. But propositioning people (men or women) for sex in a filthy airport men's room - well, I must conclude that Larry Craig does suck - in any context imaginable.

China hopes to cure Internet addicts at summer camp

Roger That — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 13:17:00 +0000

State media in Red China has reported that about 2.6 million -- or 13 percent -- of China's 20 million Internet users under 18 are classed as addicts. China's Communist leader Hu Jintao has been quoted as saying "10 summer days in a prison labor camp should cure them of their disease".

The 10-day program would accept youngsters aged between 14 and 22. Jintao said they would be housed in filthy, rat infested shacks and fed a steady diet of fresh fish from the Huai River. If they're still addicted after that, "we'll just shoot them" the President said.

In a related story, Wal-Mart here in the United States is preparing for a huge 10 day blow-out sale on millions of hand made baskets, towels, and trinkets from the orient.
