Jim Gibbons-Misogynist and Misanthrope

Nowhere in his "Chainsaw Nevada" speech did Jim Gibbons mention his level of dislike for women.
As a qualified expert in Women's' and Children's' therapy, my observations of his behaviors over the past few years reveal disturbing patterns.

Chrissy-in a parking garage, lying and getting away with it only reinforces his sense of superiority.
In fact, he probably genuinely believes she asked for it. Notice how thoroughly her character was discredited? A man with a healthy ego would not have needed to so thoroughly destroy a single woman-it is like using a missile on a kid with a BB gun.

2. Best friends-former Playmate, probably was troubled and looking for support. Jim Gibbons took advantage of it. There is nothing more appealing than a woman's wounded spirit. She is most vulnerable.

3. Having an affair with a woman is one thing-having an affair with a woman when the husband is your friend is an angry and hostile act. Yes, men who have serial affairs find a real thrill in having an affair under another man's nose-(and the wife's) there is something deliciously cruel in it for them. His actions in this situation demonstrate his twisted reality-something very untrustworthy.

4. How he treats his wife in public-to announce a separation and divorce in the public arena is a message to wound deeply. It is an act of humiliation. My guess is Dawn Gibbons has looked the other way for many years. Yet she has been his steady rock. His nurturer-no matter what-she stood by him. His method here was to destroy-not just wound.
Considering she is a talented and educated woman in her own right, I am sure she has given him much good advice in the past. It is obvious without her he is floundering in his own delusional thinking and acting on it. She probably would have continued to put up with his affairs had he stayed loyal to the family. His election as Gov. allows him to think he actually has something to offer-and many prey upon his lack of intelligence and delusions of grandeur.
Without his wife's grounding he is rudderless and doesn't get it. I am sure we will see the evidence of this when the records are made public.

So why does all this lead me to think he is a misogynist?
His cuts affect thousands of women(far more than men) cutting education. His cuts affect children and young adults. Rarely do his cuts affect men of power.
Gibbons has such little respect for women-and let's be honest-hatred-what better way of (unconsciously) attacking than to cut the very livelihoods that make them powerful? Education and family.

Thousands of teachers in Clark County are woman. No survey has ever been taken, but if you lift the lid off the pot - you will find that these female teachers' paychecks support entire families, often as head of the household- many teachers today also support laid off husbands from the hospitality and building industries. The remaining cuts affect poor women with children and those who can least defend themselves-the mentally ill. Men are a part of this group, you rail! Yes, but the very characteristics of these populations are the ones Gibbons attacks in women i.e. Vulnerability--credibility-women are second class citizens in his mind.

Many teachers have children in our school systems . Wow! What a powerful message-to cut your mom's salary and your educational opportunities as well!

This is a dangerous and foolish man . Healthy men admire the strength in women as partners. It is a feeling of camaraderie. We are in this together -we will make it-
Men who love women see the greatness in their partners and feel genuine pride.

Jim Gibbons has cut the strings from his rock and his anger and immaturity are probably, unconsciously pointed right at that which he fears most-women with intelligence and (he feels) her power to destroy his poorly constructed and struggling ego.

If you are his friend, (real friend) I suggest you encourage--no-intervene-and get him into some serious therapy.
Actually, no harm will be done to the rest of us- but the damage he has created to himself is catastrophic. It is the hangover he will have, if he has any insight into himself in the ensuing years that will create serious problems.

Caveat-this article is based on an examination of his public behavior. Please do not misconstrue my observations as a mental health evaluation. I will leave that to whatever experts remain in this state, after these cuts are completed.

Bring in the Clowns!!

I'm all excited about the entertainment lineup tonight!

Let's bring in the clowns!!

It's a double feature-I've got my Movie theater popcorn with extra butter-my Diet Dr. Pepper and my score card.

Let's see which speech convincingly gets that R rating for horror, violence and deception...

Or are we thinking along the lines of "Love Story?"

Nev. Gov. and Bush-A twofer speech time!

Tomorrow night is a big night!
George Bush wants to sing his Swan Song after raping the country even more to the tune of billions of dollars in the past six months. As he moves on to his gated community-which only recently allowed blacks to move in-he wants to reiterate his famous words, "Brownie-You did a heckofajob" and "Mission Accomplished".
You can bet his rich friends will be there to support his legacy-of supporting those who supported him-to the exclusion of our country-remember "The Good Ole USA"- George???
Hopefully, out of the woodwork will crawl Dick Cheney in his night goggles-to reside at another dark, dank location which supports monetary, power hungry vampires.
Lord knows the two of them have sucked the lifeblood outta this country.

Why the Three Stooges?
I dunnoh-let's throw in Rumsfeld for old times sake-or Karl Rove -who we last saw slinking away, snake like. after his ugly strategies failed to elect McCain.

AH -but the twofer-Jim Gibbons is actually going to televise his screw you -poor, moderately living and middle class(isn't that a joke of a phrase now days..) citizens who are being laid off by the hundreds-promising-yes-promising-NO NEW TAXES!!
Yessiree-now that you all are laid off-he promises there will not be a service left in the state to help you all out-since you have no income and aren't paying taxes in Nevada right now-don't worry your pretty little low life heads.

This ones on Jim-for his RV buddy and that new guy he wanted to hire -you remember the one who handled luggage at Reno Airport-the one he decided to hire because his RV buddy told him to go ahead and break the rules...

DO any of us really want to listen to this twofer?? Haven't we heard enough from this peanut gallery we all so sheepishly elected? (Well, I didn't-but SOMEBODY out there did..)
I promise I won't ask who...
Let's just get them out, be polite and get back to work picking up the rubble left behind, sift through it and see if we have anything salvageable to work with.

Nevadan's meaness bares pointed fangs///

Like many other states, but probably second only to Michigan in the loss of one dimensional income-Nevadans are speaking their minds about what to cut and spare.
Mind you-the state has almost non-existent services for those in need-to begin with. (See Las Vegas Sun-01-11-09

In retrospect, I suppose we deserve our Governor-Jim Gibbons-his simplicity and moronic outlook on humanity seems to coincide with the following supporters-
these comments were taken from the Las Vegas Sun-a thoughtful article on the state of Nevada's economy and putting real people's faces to the cuts.

The Sun asks the question we all grapple with-What are our priorities?
While many responses were more positive than these-the viciousness of the citizens in Nevada is almost frightening

It is too bad the State government cut mental health services to the bare bone-it seems as if a few of these commenter's need a little medication.
Anger states it mildly-
Rage is more like it.
Ignorance isn't bliss-have you noticed? Ignorance is like putting a flame to a can of gasoline.
How quickly we buy into the worst without ever checking facts.

Peruse at your leisure.
And remember-
Nevada has the highest suicide rate in the nation-as well as the highest rate of crime.


Raising taxes most likely will result in more layoffs to private employees.
The Sun and Democrats shed no tears for that

If you want that model of high taxes and broad base taxes with a diversified economy then you should move next door.
They are having no problems
High growth...raise taxes.
No growth....raise taxes.
That is all you guys say. Raise taxes.
Ryman....do the math.....we are already paying $1,000's of dollars in taxes


I guess you have not heard. State spending has actually gone up the past year over the previous year.
Also, there have not been any cuts in forms of layoffs or pay freezes or pay cuts or benefits cuts which tons of businesses have done this year.
God forbid if a government worker suffers. It will be the end of the universe.

The Sun can be the messenger of Cry, Cry Cry all they want. The simple truth is - Raise taxes on me and my business now, I will fire more people. Not because I want to, but because I have to to survive. And when I cant cut anymore (soon), I will close and file for unemployment and go on the states payroll.
Sorry for the bluntness - but I'm not buying into the pity party!

let the homeowners pay school taxes like the rest of the country and raise property taxes to reflect the state and city work forces you apparently seem to want to see grow daily into one of the costliest items you need to pay for and give even more benefits to your city and state workers,give them more paid days off.pay up or stop complaining.

Here's an idea: Either call it an "editorial" or keep your pro-tax, liberal agendas out of so-called news stories. You're not fooling the smart ones among us.
Then the answer is simple... the state should file bankrupcy. That would invalidate these BS contracts and we can start from scratch with something more realistic. Even better - public employees - PLEASE STRIKE! We can replace your useless butts so quick with people being laid off in California (not to mention those laid off here already) it won't even be funny.

Hey! I have an idea... all parents get together and decide how much the state should waste uhm.. I mean "spend" per child or whatever, then send them a bill for each child. That should end this argument pretty quickly.
There is a family down the street from me with 13 kids - rather than pointing fingers at the casinos, how about we have this family pay their "fair share" since they are "contributing" so greatly to our community with their ignorant spawn.

re: "It is time for the casino industry to pay their fare share." - yeah you typed that like a true CCSD administrator - kudos!
Hey - how can I get in on this public employee scam. I want checks for doing nothing! I can be like "CCSD Flooring Manager - Travertine Division III" and pick up my $120k a year. Maybe I can be the guy administering the guys keeping the jacuzzis and automatic curtains working in the administration executive offices on West Sahara

What can I say? Nevadans have spoken...

Nevada Governor-Buffoon Gibbons

Meet Jim Gibbons. Nevada's Governor. Today he announced he wants to cut teacher pay by 6%.

Nevada has one of the worst education systems in the nation. It also has the leanest. It is has the lowest per pupil funding in the nation.

If you don't know this idiot-you will soon.

His political career is over.

His political career is a classic tale of genetics. It is a lesson we did not learn with George Bush and we pay dearly.

It is a lesson we still have not learned in Nevada.

Never, children, never, never, never, elect a person because someone else in the family may have been successful.

Remember, boys and girls. Energy depletes each time it is cycled.

We have lots of humans in this nation for display as excellent examples of reduced energy.

I'd say Jim Gibbons is at the end of this particular cycle.

United States Burns While Washington Fiddles

Either our government no longer works or we have elected and/or support stupid people.
Either way we are in a process of old patterns which are not working. As we citizens stand by and watch our livelihoods, our infrastructures, our nobility to just and fair methods -government fiddles awaywhile our families suffer and our towns crash and burn.

We hear the word, "caution" when making decisions for the masses and we hear "NOTHING" when making decisions for the elite.

A few bad habits need to go-NOW

1. I don't care if it is an election year. Do the right thing. Tell us why.
2. Quit listening to lobbyists. If they cared about the whole picture we would not be in this mess.
3. Grandstanding does not work. Get off your pompous high horses and do what is right for us. Getting on the tube and telling us why you are screwing us just makes us mad.
4. If it didn't work a year ago, what makes you think it will now?
Try something brave and bold. We did not elect or hire you to get YOU rich, get over that.
5. Go into your job fighting for OUR country-not Japan, China, or India. Look for jobs for us. Change our trade agreements, quit borrowing from China, give us our jobs back, give the US companies tax breaks, not Toyota and Honda. Quit raping our economy.
6. Honor US. The workers. The autoworkers didn't create this mess because they were paid a living wage-it has always been from the top down. WE are stupid if we keep giving back our wages to keep wealthy stockholders rich-on our backs.
7. If you can't stand the heat of an honest decision, don't work in politics. If you don't get reelected, what did you really lose?
8. God I miss Paul Wellstone.

Captured Souls-Ransomed for Money

What do we believe? Insidiously, hate and harsh judgement has snaked around our hearts and fallen from our mouths. Inside of our souls opens Pandora's box, emerging this hate filled energy that splays itself across the landscape of our souls.
This energy seeps into unfulfilled spaces of our hearts and the venom clings to all of us.

Weaker souls become stronger. In fearful ways. Stronger, wiser souls become whispers.
Whispers that do not disappear. We know, in our hearts, that judging others, wishing for downfalls, and spewing hate and meanness are not right. We know it, deep inside. Anger, even justified, does not right life. Anger does not conquer and win. It destroys.

Religion is not God's words. It is not the teachings of Jesus. False paths do not take us to spiritual teachings.

And folks, we have a lot of false paths out there. Anyone who believes the path they walk on, organized by teachings that instill anger, righteousness and harsh judgement is the path, have lost direction.

Forgiveness isn't a right. Who are we to think we have the glory of choosing what is maligned and forgiving? Have we become God in our own right?

The spiraling economy and the loss of money is revealing our nature-and I ask you, dig into your hearts and tell me, is this us?

Divide, Conquer, Rule-this is the sign on a church I pass, each day, on my way to work. The message never changes. Is life a battle to be won? Did Jesus set up a commando unit to capture souls?
Captive souls -ransomed for money.
This is what we have become today.
