December 3, 2007
Link to previous days “Deep Thoughts” here. December 1 & 2 are good because there is an ongoing discussion of potential music for YA, and some behind the scenes drama. Also, you can click here for what is becoming a logo contest.
1:09 AM
Any of you motherfuckers going to come up with a Reader’s Post or video for the site? I’d bet you often have a good piece of your mind that you give to your buddies and enemies. Share it with the world here. Let me suggest some topics straight off the top of my head:
Ten ( or whatever number ) reasons Hillary should not be elected President
What its like working with nothing but liberals
What the Republicans really need to do, what they need to spin/sell, what they need to make clear to people, and remind people of, to win in ‘08.
Why we lost the midterms.
Who should I or my team ambush with a video camera and what they should be asked.
Experiences with liberal professors at college.
Is a man who keeps a cat as a pet gay?
What did Hillary accomplish as a Senator
Does Bill expect to run the country more than Hillary - is this why he is so desperate for her to win?
Will Sean Hannity ever be the next Rush Limbaugh?
Should we deport every illegal we find? Is it time to stop being afraid to advocate that, to stop just accepting the premise that we cant’?
1:32 A.M.
Anybody notice that there really aren’t any men’s clothes anymore? What’s with all the pastels and pinks, the flowery-ass writing and graphics on the shirts? Why is masculinity such a no-no anymore? I was in the Gap the other day, and asked a chick who worked there if they had a men’s department, as we stood about ten feet from the men’s department. She points, “Right there”. “No, straight men’s” I responded. Without even having to think about it, she broke out in an automatic smile, and nodded her head, and looked me in the eye like she knew exactly what I was talking about. “I know what you mean,” she said, “We get what we get”.
How come I can find expensive designer t-shirts with pictures of guitars on them, but not some with pictures of weapons? Skulls? Even if not that extreme, men’s clothing should reflect the essence of masculinity, period.
I’m going to start my own clothing line. Iggy and I are actually working on it.
4:53 A.M.
Woke up, and as I was floating past the ever-buzzing tv to relieve my sleep-interrupting piss, Doocey’s thoughts on Murtha’s recent declaration that the Surge was working made some inroads into my head. Man, oh man, how far we’ve come from the precipice of a very ugly and brutal fall for our country….so much further are we now from the time when all these politicians were killing my friends in Iraq by encouraging the enemy to keep on killing…
5:11 A.M.
So Romney’s giving a speech on his religion on Thursday because he “has to”. As in “has to explain why his religion is politically acceptable” in a candidate. Did that Muslim fuck who got elected to Congress last year “have to” give a speech to explain why his religion was poltically acceptable?
8:27 A.M.
Killing the neighbor’s cat… back shortly.
8:53 A.M.
So if Tony calls me today as he was supposed to yesterday, today should be the fateful day of moving YA ahead at Showtime or not. You can check yesterday for the background.
9:38 A.M.
Why is Domenica Davis doing the weather, not porn?
9:39 A.M.
Courtney Friel had the best news talk show line of the weekend. Discussing how her blonde, blue-eyed features had caused her to worry about the challenges presented by minority hiring quotas, she revealed that she nearly changed her name to Courtney Frijoles.
11:18 A.M.
Just talked to Iggy at Fort Huachuca. He’s undergoing human tracking training. I’m meeting him there this weekend and he’s going to give me an intensive two day course.
11:47 A.M.
Anybody seen “No Country For Old Men” yet?
I’m off to the edit room for a bit. It’s quite a trip at times, being thrown back into all of that, hard to walk out of that room not being very agitated. Hard to cut some of it, sometimes.
12:18 P.M.
I never said this before, but as the Imus topic is being served back up on our fetid pop-culture platter, I’d like to say “Fuck those whiney Rutgers bitches. Whining and complaining about how much they were “suffering” when their peers were doing real deal suffering in Iraq and Afghanistan. Fuck them ( did I say that? ).” And Imus said NOTHING wrong anyway, it was a Goddamn joke - and a much better one than the human joke that is Al Sharpton. As if he is a man whose opinion matters, as if he wields some meaningful authority over the nation, today he assured all those so very nervous that Imus might again grievously damage the country: “I WILL continue to monitor Don Imus”.
Hey, Rutgers girls, “Fuck you for crying”. You suffered NOTHING.
Back to the war zone.
1:05 PM
So England’s second largest paper, The Guardian, actually flew one of their ace reporters, Killian Fox, out here to spend two days with me to do a profile. He spent the whole time doing ungodly amounts of cocaine and finally I had to take him to the Cedars-Sinai emergency room where they accidentally gave him too much valium and he slipped into a coma. At one point I went into his room and he popped up suddenly, like Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction, and started to leave the place in his robe. I tossed him his leather jacket, which he put on, and his jeans, which he threw to the floor, and he went trotting down the hallway where, after a minute, he croaked loudly, “Trader Vics!” Charging further ahead, “Fuck Pat, Trader Vics…”. I drove us to Trader Vics and when they brought a flaming cocktail in a bowl he got a big grin and just plunged his face into it. I’ll be damned if the drink didn’t douse without burning him. We talked then until 9 AM the next day. We stopped at Versace and got him some digs for the flight home. He gave me a big tirade that he was tired of working for nothing but “Pooftah cunt limousine lefty editors at the paper”.
The profile should be interesting.
6:28 PM
Hannity will never be as big as Rush, will never be the heir to the throne, because the real secret of Rush’s success is that he is a comedian. At the end of the day, at the heart of it all, he is a comedian, and that is what makes him so eminnently listenable, and why he has such broad appeal. Not thta the comedy in any way reduces the insightfulness, incisiveness, and uanassailable truth of what he says, but it both makes him charming,, and unendingly listenable. He is as serious with his subjects, and as intellectually in charge of them as the greatest of minds in this country, but his truly human character and his great comedic skills are the true reasons for the breadth of his succcess. Hannity, who is perfectly on top of his game intellectually, just does not compare to Rush when it comes to the Gold Standard of communicative skills: humor. Hannity’s eanestness, commitment, seriousness, and anger are all admirable, and were once all one needed to be effective in conservative AM radio. But times have changed. If you can’t be both funny and have your finger on the pulse of American pop culture to round out your intellectual prowess, you’re really just a B player anymore.
6:48 P.M.
Like an idiot, I saw a doctor for the first time since returning from Iraq after being hit with 7 IEDs, two of which flung me from the vehicle. With their usual adept bedside, or I guess chairside, manner he said, “Damn, Pat, you have an excellent chance of having suffered brain damage and may be highly susceptible to a stroke.” I had what is known as a mini-stroke, or TIA (temporary ischemic attack ) last year, where I lost control of my left arm for four hours. I was busy and hate doctors, and since there were no other stroke symptoms, I let it pass and did nothing about it. Plus I didn’t have health insurance at the time. So long and short of it is that I have an MRI set for next Wednesday. They say the IEDS can follow you home - little gas bubbles form in your brain that can cause strokes months and years down the road. So I may literally have IEDs in my head, and I don’t mean in my dreams. We’ll see. Also got some Chantix so I can stop smoking two packs of cigarettes a day.
The remnants of one of my less fortunate “getting blown up” experiences. I was back left passenger. Two other occupants, Lt. Almar Fitzgerald, and Corporal Matthew Conley were killed. Half of our entire four humvee convoy were wounded that night.
Sorry Pat - I don’t have a camcorder . . . maybe for Christmas . . . I really like Sean Hannity, but he does not have a Rush Limbaugh mind or originality. Sean is a cheerleader (which is needed) - BUT Rush is THE master!
Deport every illegal we find sucking up entitlements - Texas will be like a frickin’ wasteland . . .
December 3rd, 2007 at 2:11 amWhat did Hillary accomplish as a Senator?
Man thats gonna be a short video….
I call this one.
December 3rd, 2007 at 2:19 amPat clothing line? Dude make something similar to this
http://www.isarapix.com/pix30/1196677939.jpg
December 3rd, 2007 at 2:38 amPat, will send some shit soon, maybe some vid bullshit too.
Re clothing, that pic I sent you for my reader post, that tropical shirt is laid in with apaches, abram tanks and other fun toys. I got it at Fort Campbell and wear it with club gitmo or jihadi killer shirts.
bty, if you own any claiborne for men, you are gay, very gay.
December 3rd, 2007 at 4:26 am“Is a man who keeps a cat as a pet gay?”
you mean a pussy ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
euh, John’s got a cat
sorry, man, but your cat’s story is worth to be told
December 3rd, 2007 at 5:53 amTotally agree with the men’s clothes thing. Its very sad.
Reminds me of the great line in Easy Money w Rondey and Joe Pesci. “Do you have any men’s shirts for men”-Pesci to bald fag behind the counter.
Rodney- “One more word out of you and he (the mannequin) gets it”
December 3rd, 2007 at 6:19 amRe: 5:11 AM—
Back in 60, it was SOS on Kennedy. Quarters had red beanie caps painted on the image of Washington by people fearful of the popes influence on the Presidency. He still called bull shit on the russians in Cuba.
Agree on the deafening silence when that muzzie congressman took office, seems to be fear by some, of calling BS on these people.
December 3rd, 2007 at 6:30 amIntimidated by fucked up judges/lawyers/MSM and that scam outfit CAIR.
Quick answers to above
1.) Because she is Hillary Clinton
December 3rd, 2007 at 6:31 am2.) Can’t answer I work in Construction. All Republicans.
3.) Unfortunately - Arnold Schwarzennager can’t run. He is a Stark von Oben.
4.) GW Bush is no Reagan
5.) Ambush the DNC and RNC chairmans and say “Is really the fuckin best of America?
6.) The professors were fine back in the late 1980’s I
could say un PC things and was never was cut off It was the students were the problem. Particularly at off-campus house parties granolas.
7.) No question. Gay.
7.) No idea.
8.) Yes. Not necessarily a bad thing.
9.) No
10.)No Mexicans are good hard working Christians. Deport only:
Haitians first
Any of those unemployed hanging around 7-11 Elevens
Gang members.
So Romney’s giving a speech on his religion on Thursday because he “has to”. As in “has to explain why his religion is politically acceptable” in a candidate. Did that Muslim fuck who got elected to Congress last year “have to” give a speech to explain why his religion was poltically acceptable?
——————————————————-
No … And that would be a perfect closing statement for Romney to make in his Thursday speech …
December 3rd, 2007 at 8:19 amSure, I could come up with some Reader’s Post. But, fact is I’m Dutch so my English is less then perfect and I don’t know shit about American politics. (Except, politics stinks these days more than ever, it seems.)
December 3rd, 2007 at 8:23 amDon’t got a cam-corder, but, even worse……..I’m a blond female in her 40’s. (Kind of remember the words posted here;”anything that bleeds……”
Pat -
Let me just be one of the first to say how much I am enjoying the new “Deep Thoughts” feature on the site.
I am thoroughly enjoying your logging of the behind the scenes for YA … your reactions to your brief interlopings of the drone of the TV, your shopping experiences in metro-sexual/gay-guy stores (your hitting on female clerks in said ms/gg stores), your piss events, and your back-handed polling of our opinion(s) on what ‘gay’ pet you should buy and keep …
You’ve been working too hard. Man, you need a road trip … We’ll be by to pick you up.
December 3rd, 2007 at 8:34 amJeanet -
There are born/bred “Americans” whose “English is less then perfect and … don’t know shit about American politics.” So, you’re way ahead of the game …
Re: “I’m a blond female in her 40’s”
You are NOT alone.
December 3rd, 2007 at 8:52 amI don’t think Romney should have to have this speech but its a good idea to get some stuff out of the way. Like hopefully he addresses that his religious standards won’t reflect policy. I mean they will a little bit but for example, mormon’s don’t drink alcohol but its not like prohibition is coming back if Romney is elected. I don’t why people are so pissy about mormons (me included), they really do a lot of good for this country.
December 3rd, 2007 at 9:06 amHey Jeanet, let er rip, besides the meaningless bullshit tossed around here you will only be judged by your words and actions. Especially if your from somewhere other than here.
We will only discuss your blond 40’s issue behind your back anyway.
December 3rd, 2007 at 9:10 amYo, Drill, thanks - but to be clear I was not asking whether or not I should buy a cat. I hate fucking cats. They are each and everyone a psychopath - biggest scammers going. I brought it up as a suggested topic for someone for a reader post. Not sure why a straight man would own a cat.
December 3rd, 2007 at 9:18 amSteve, thanks. No one needs to worry about so-called “quality standards”, per se. Just let loose.

yeah straight men have sometime a big heart for abandonned animals ; or some other need such a fellow when the wife have gone ;

December 3rd, 2007 at 1:05 pmLove the new feature Pat! Ah, where to begin?! Well, as a college student i guess i could talk about liberal professors and my experiences.
As a political science major i can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten into arguments, been berated by and have reason to believe gotten lower grades because I’m a conservative and supporter of our President.
The most disturbing things i have come across are as follows:
“9/11 happened but that was 6 years ago”: As a New Yorker and American there is not a day that goes by that i don’t remember or am haunted by September 11, 2001. The general feeling is that, yes 9/11 happened and it was a very bad thing but 9/11 and Iraq/the greater war on terror have no connection. IE: Most of those i have come in contact, academically, feel as though we should have stopped with Afghanistan. This is a deadly assertion. While 9/11 and, for arguments sake, Iraq may have not had an “direct” connection 9/11 has shown just how high the stakes are, how expensive the consequences associated with inaction can be. I think the problem is that often Colleges and Professors, more generally, find themselves insulated from the real world. It’s one thing to have watched it from a tv screen far away from it all, but i’m confident if they slugged it out on the streets that day, saw the destruction and loss of human life their opinions would be far different. It’s always easier to sit back and pick things apart then to get your hands dirty…
The second most disturbing issue i have found is that many professors, at least at the school i attend, don’t seem to understand what bin laden and many others are attempting. Make a long story short, they want a borderless Islamic kingdom ruled by a caliphate…regional domination if you will…and will stop at nothing to achieve this. These aren’t my words or opinions bin laden has professed this time and time again in his speeches, videos and communiques. When i’ve corrected teachers/professors i’ve been told i was wrong and laughed at (thats no exaggeration). If someone wants to be ignorant thats their business, but the problem is when your teaching a group of college students, most of which have little knowledge of the world outside the United States and don’t pick up a paper, your inadvertently indoctrinating them because most look to the professor to “have all the answers.” Now you have a bunch of young adults walking around thinking all bin laden wants to do is play tiddlywinks’s with us.
I could go on for hours but I’ve got to get back to this school work!

“Sorry to break up your Black Panther party …”
December 3rd, 2007 at 2:15 pmGee Pat, it was very brave of you to enter the Lion’s den and give an interview to the most liberal newspaper in England. And after the 1;05 PM entry, I’m sure they’re going to rip you a new asshole. Hope the guy has a sense of humor.
December 3rd, 2007 at 3:59 pmdrillanwr
Sick shit. I’m no PETA freak but those fucks are about as inhumane as it gets. No reason for suffering.
Aside from that looking forward to a Pat Dollard clothing line. I like those “inidel” shirts and Bashmans “fuck jihad” shirts but I get nervous ordering shit online. If you get on rolling please offer a phone number as well.
Get some sleep Pat.
Also, how do you do a readers post?
December 3rd, 2007 at 4:16 pmTo do a reader’s post, just email it to me at Any format, and I can post it. Please include a picture around 300X300, either of yourself or something relative to the topic of the post.
December 3rd, 2007 at 4:29 pmThis is freakin awesome bro! You are insane (in a good way), but it’s awesome! Thanks
December 3rd, 2007 at 5:27 pmDon’t die on us, Pat.
At least wait until Young Americans is finished and aired.
The only thing worse than going to the doctor is not going to the doctor.
December 3rd, 2007 at 7:20 pmYou know Pat, after reading your 6:48 post it hit me that along with our guys in the military, you may be the epitome of the modern American hero. Human, real, flawed, prone to bad as often to good, but ultimately someone who marshalled all his good to overpower his bad, and fucking do something for his country. The modern American hero in a nutshell. That line about having to carry home those fucking terrorist’s IEDs in your head really freaked me out and pissed me off. How many of our boys are walking around with those ticking time bombs in their heads?
Good luck with the MRI. I give you a civilian salute.
December 3rd, 2007 at 7:34 pmThanks for your post about the IEDs Pat. My bros and I were also hit many times in Hit last year. Haven’t been to the doc since we’ve been back. I think I might go now considering that left arm thing you mentioned. Thanks for all this and telling the story of the Grunts in Ramadi.

And definitely quit fucking smoking Pat! Two packs a day, christ. I hear that Chantix stuff is great and doens’t fuck with your head like anti-depressants.
Oh, and I love this new deep thoughts feature. It’s cool getting the behind the scenes drama, and I feel like I’m getting the raw and uncensored you, which the site, franklyi, needed more of. You’ve got a crazy, and shall we say, very unique life and its fun to follow.
Gotta love someone who can just kick these Hollywood fucks around and make them cry because you were too mean to them on the phone. Loved that shit.
I’d rather a camera follow you around then like, Gene Simmons,, looking rich and hugging his kids.
December 3rd, 2007 at 8:48 pmgood luck with your health pat!
December 3rd, 2007 at 9:20 pmI own a cat, and am far from gay. People who know me think I’m a complete hardass sometimes.
Make a clothing line, you got my cash. When I get my first check in the Corps, I’m ordering a Jihadikiller T-shirt and sending some money to support you. I won’t be completely broke anymore, so I’ll be able to afford sending you some money.
Thanks again for everything.
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:24 pmPat:
Regarding having seen a doctor for the first time since returning from Iraq.
You HAVE GOT to keep up with that. Please? Not just for us. IEDS can follow you home!!

IED BLAST-RELATED BRAIN INJURIES: THE SILENT KILLER —
http://www.vawatchdog.org/07/nf07/nfJUN07/nf060207-6.htm
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) as a “significant health concern” and vowed to identify it among active duty troops. But many new cases are likely to emerge as troops transition to civilian life as veterans. Military records show that 60% of the 25,000 war injuries to date resulted from explosive blasts like IED’s or roadside bombs. And nearly 3,000 of the wounded are currently being treated for severe traumatic brain injury or TBI. Traumatic brain injury has rapidly become the signature wound of soldiers returning from Iraq.

I am glad you saw a doc too Pat. There is no way anyone can handle blasts like that without internal damage - especially that many times. Keep up seeing a doc and do whatever can be done with the TBI stuff. It is very serious. I will keep you in my prayers. Glad you are layin’ off the smokes.
Bret, thank you to you and your brothers for your service and sacrifice.
All of you guys are heroes to us.
