The General Musings of Falkie2013 (George Senda, The Guy From Pittsburgh)

[3OctaveFart]

So how long before a gofundme gets started for Falkie's SAG membership?

Whitecrow, drone, Fart? You guys good for another couple of hundred?

I'm an expecting father. Wife would kill me if I started throwing around money.
I am proud of Falkie for making this work, and with a former adversary, of all people.
I encourage you guys to donate in my stead.

[PB the Deplorable]

i'm sure you don't mean it. unless you are pleased taxpayers don't have to pay retirement for those KIA. i EARNED my government "pension". it has worked fine for me. i've grown it and do very well for myself and family. 

PB, once again you're wrong. Government employees get offered early retirement after 20 years so as to save on costs. Lots of people at the VA & other agencies get offered this and most take it...

What about the military or police?  People who put their lives at risk for twenty or twenty five years for the public good?  I always thought that was a sweet deal, but high risk jobs should perhaps rightfully demand shorter terms of engagement and provide the security of a pension immediately following that service.

Here is what I think about public sector pensions and why.  It has nothing to do with how nice anyone is, how hard they work, how dangerous the job they chose to do is, etc.  I'm looking at it from the taxpayers perspective.  (And please note this is re pensions, not disability or death benefits)

Pensions are meant to ensure middle class working people don't end up living in poverty during their older retirement years.  It's not supposed to be for people who put in 20 years, want to retire in their 40s and 50s, and fund it with tax dollars.

It someone, anyone, wants to retire before they reach, say, 65, THEY should fund that themselves.

I would also cap all public service pensions at $30,000 or so.  Want more in your golden years?, save for it yourself. 


Public sector salaries, benefits, pensions are negotiated between the union reps - who represent the employees, and government officials - who want public sector employees votes as a bloc.  No one is representing the taxpayers, the people who pay the freight.  Fat pensions (for some, not all), and retirement pay starting in their 40s and 50s is a flat out rip-off

States, counties, cities, the various other entities and agencies have all staffed up over the past several decades, they now pay more than private sector jobs in comparable industries, spend more than they take in in taxes, are in real fiscal trouble, and can't really raise taxes much more than they are now.  A big reason they are still short on cash is because of these retirement agreements.  For every current employee, they have one or two former employees drawing pensions - many at near full pay.

In the case of police and firemen, no they shouldn't be chasing crooks and running around on roofs past a certain age.  At the point they shouldn't be doing that anymore, they could go into dispatch, training, community relations, management, etc within the department, or find a new career that interests them. 

I get that people have been promised this, and think they've earned it.  Who out there doesn't think they earn what they get and think they really deserve more?  As a nation there are many things we just can't afford anymore without going bankrupt, and paying people in their 40s and 50s to stay home is one of them

[Who]

I just talked to the Martinez police dispatch officer and he said that it is up to the discretion of the officer whether or not they give you a ticket or a warning and that they only impound cars if you have been drinking, have no current registration or have a warrant.

Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

Would you like me to call the CHP next ?

Yes.  Call them now.

[Who]

What does one ( not me do ) if a driver is ill and its an emergency and there's no way to contact authorities ?
You go and drive to get help.

If the driver is ill and it's an emergency you call 911.  What did you think that iPhone was for?

[Who]

On June 26th, George Noory's new television show will be taping.

What is the name of Nooron's new television show?  Is it going to be on network TV?  If so, which one?  Or is it syndicated?  Or is it going to be on Gaiam TV?

Be specific.  Please use a number 2 lead pencil.

I still don't understand why Noory would want some random guy's commentary. Whats the point? Did Noory ask him out of pity? Its pretty silly when you think about it.

Nothing about it makes any sense.  And if Noory is going to have a new television show, why is Senda the only one who seems to know anything about it?

[Nick el Ass]

You WANT beyond that, I got beyond that !

I have an announcement to make.
On June 26th, George Noory's new television show will be taping.
I will be live on the air probably on Skype giving my commentary on that night's episode.
And George will be paying me for my appearances and he may have to have me join AFTRA.
So to the haters who know NOTHING but THINK they do ...
I ALMOST pity the fools !

Only Mr. T can pity the fools, and you sir don't have anywhere near the talent of Mr. T, but I do feel for people who will have to suffer through hearing the two of you together on a fake tv show, haha. Now excuse me while I spend the time talking about someone who has real talent like Art Bell. Oh, and nice job dodging what I said in my last post Falkie.

Can't dodge wjayt I don't read.
And I don't owe THOUSANDS of dollars in fines.
$350.
But there wasn't any need to pay for it when we didn't have a car.
It will get paid this year.

[3OctaveFart]

Yeah, worshipping Art with dozens of other star-fuckers- that's where the real fun is on this site.

[nooryisawesome]

I have seen clips of Noory's "TV show'. Amazingly Falkie's running commentary will not be any worse than his current show.

You owe $350 in fines?  Then what the hell are you doing buying new iPads and other toys?   Pay the fines FIRST.

There wasn't any need to pay the fines when you didn't have a car?  Damn.  You really are a first-class grifter.

[nooryisawesome]

He told me before he owes thousands of dollars. Falkie also shared a story the while he was stanind in line in the DMV the worker over heard him saying he was incapable of driving. So even if he paid his fines, Falkie would still need to straighten stuff out with DMV, in order to legally drive.

I wonder if Falkie will clean up his "juice" from his clothes before he goes into the confrence

Who said anything about fines? You are clearly trying to avoid what you have said... and now I'm just going to block you. Goodbye to you Falkie tell Kathy I said hello though, and that she deserves better.

Here in Wisconsin our Governor, Scott Walker, has a proven record of cutting/repealing public sector early pensions benefits.
Falkie, as a stated fiscal conservative, you may want to vote for him, if he decides to run for President.
He's on record that he'll do the same on a National level if President.
You'll probably like it too, that he's also proposing sweeping changes to long-term care programs for the elderly and disabled.

[Who]

Nope, his ship looks like it came in and my work here is done.
Splendid job, Falkie. Splendid job.

His ship came in?  More like his dinghy came in.

[SixWeekTenure(tm)]

He told me before he owes thousands of dollars.

Falkie is a liar, plain and simple. He makes himself the victim in every tale he weaves, never takes responsibility for anything, and can't grasp why he's been the butt of a joke in every forum he's used - all while keeping an inflated ego! It's astounding.

[aldousburbank]

I'm pretty sure Noory is Area51Droning, or is that Whitecrowing, Falkie for his own amusement.

It's AreaFittyOneing cuz Whitecrowing refers to calling a radio or podcast show more than once per program. Get it straight man.

[3OctaveFart]

It's a start, and Noory could be paying relatively well.
In any case it's better than making roughly 10 cents for every video produced.
I hope it doesn't get him in bad odor with the state, earning income while receiving subsidies.
But I don't know anything about all that.

[WhiteCrow]

And I don't owe THOUSANDS of dollars in fines.
$350.
But there wasn't any need to pay for it when we didn't have a car.

Falkie you may want to check into this.
In my States unpaid traffic fines, automatically turn into bench arrest warrants.
A bench warrant, usually does not mean the police will be at your door the next morning. But, your name will go into a statewide computer system that serves the entire law enforcement community. Once your name is in the database, if you have to deal with the police for any reason â€" even resulting from an incident that was not your fault, such as someone hitting your car from behind you'll be taken into custody for the outstanding bench warrant.


   

[Yorkshire pud]

Briefly: if Senda was driving a vehicle and hit a loved one of mine ( no matter how 'unlikely')..being arrested for no insurance and licence would be the least of his problems. Get the fucker stopped. The arrogant fucked up tosser needs stopping.

Yeah because teflon Senda should get a break from sanctions from his deception.

I'm starting to think that some outfit oughta document Falkie and Kathy's journey to Daveville. For posterity and junk.

Exactly.... If can't get Bellgab shortcuts straight please don't use them. This place is confusing enough already.

For example, an acceptable adaptation of "WhiteCrowing" is when two posters reply to Falkie, with a one word "Gasbag" reply. 
A third poster would be correct to point out their lack of wit and originality by posting "Stop WhiteCrowing"

For 'your' consideration I propose the addition of the following Bellgab shortcuts:
Posting drunk: "Coasting"
Posting Gay: "Jazzing"
Posting Hipster "Redacting"
Posting Hippy "Burbanking"

oh i still work, but only because i want to and if i continue to find what i do interesting. once i finished with my military service i moved into the private sector. maybe your definition of retirement and mine differ a bit. i built something out of that seed money.
if it eases your mind, consider my "pension" a small royalty on something that has returned much more to many more. something conceived before i chose the service to open many doors for me. including mentoring opportunities for others to better themselves and to pass it on.
should i have done less than share or to give back less than what was asked of me? of course not. do you really believe that everyone that "retires" early sits on their ass until they die? what kind of a reward would that be?
i understand your opinion and you have every right to state it. it's the american way. so is going from nothing to making things better for others. i just don't see where i'm ripping off anyone.
thanks for a reply that went a bit more into your thoughts on the subject.

if he did get pulled over or whatever... wouldn't the fines owed turn up and warrant an arrest? if not.... well no wonder people move to california! 

[WhiteCrow]

Dewd, you live in the area, go for it! Brings along lots of iCrap gear to document.
Do you have one of those donate clickies?

[Open Lines Gerry]

Nothing about it makes any sense.  And if Noory is going to have a new television show, why is Senda the only one who seems to know anything about it?

I hate to admit it, Falkie, but he may have a point.  Noory didn't take kindly to Richard C. Hoagland sharing his e-mails with Art.  He may not appreciate you bringing this out to the public yet.  You should probably wait until the ink is dry on your contract before saying any more.

There is no new TV show. Go watch the movie Dinner For Schmucks. Noory and Falkie's BellGab fanablers are treating Falkie this way. If Falkie wasn't such a despicable human being you would almost feel sorry for him.
