Greetings From New Jersey…
Welcome all to the very first Zman blog entry!
It’s amazing… I’ve been pretty much given carte blanche to write about whatever I choose (each Monday through Friday) – and that, folks, is like offering Michael Moore the “all you can eat” breakfast at a Waffle House: I won’t know when enough is enough, and my baseball cap may end up with yolk stains.
My duty is to poke fun at those who need poking, while ripping some derriere on a regular basis. There’s a hell of a lot out there in this world that is just truly obscene – I know it pisses you off and I’m right there with you. Knowing that Britney Spears has the number one single on itunes goes against all human decency. The fact that we let a psychopathic dictator into our country, and permitted him speak at Columbia University is unfathomable. This season, Alex Rodriguez made $177,000 per game and $48,000 per at bat. Donna Summer, Afrika Bambaataa and Madonna are nominees for the 2008 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – the key words here are Rock and Roll, people …and once again, KISS isn’t in there. Turkey jowled Dr. Phil has a weight-loss book, Oprah left 30 million in her will to her dogs, there’s second graders with better cell phones than mine, and the brain trust at Dick’s Sporting Goods thought that was a fine name choice.
If there has been but one constant in this world, it’s the precious time I spend each day with my beloved cigar. But now with the proposed tax increase, these power hungry political dirt-bags want to take that away from me, too. “It’s for the children!” they cry in their politically correct, we know what’s best for you vernacular. It’s about gaining votes and pandering to the masses you lying, thieving sacks of horse-hockey! Simply put: Big-time, career politicians are hateful and evil. Hmm… sounds like the next possible topic.
Guys, if there’s one thing I have great disdain for, it’s that filthy term: political correctness. The P.C. zealots in our society have jammed their self-imposed righteous agendas down our collective throats, and it’s time we regurgitate it right back in their faces. I invite you to regularly email me P.C. news bits, and we’ll expose them for the hypocrisy they stand for.
Thanx so much for checking out the new joint. Come on back tomorrow and we’ll fire up an oily stoag, commiserate, and let it all hang out at the JR Cigar Blog with the Zman!
Feel free to post a comment and become a registered member of the blog, today!
I’m just getting warmed up…

A voice in the wilderness of today’s political correctness. Good to see you here.

You’re just in time, Pauly. I was just about to show everyone my homemade kielbasa.

Kiss belongs in the Rock and Roll HOF. What a joke that place has become. Rock on, Zman!
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
What – nothing about the stapler?!?? Why you little – why I oughta…
I just wanna know when you’ll rail against the “speed humps” they put up along with a sign that says “20 MPH” that will utterly destroy your vehicle if you are foolish enough to cross over them at 20 MPH… And the stapler, of course.
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
Hey Tommy, I got your email that you’d send me a 5 pack if I signed up. Do you have my address?
;-P
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
That was for a Viagra 5 pack, bro. Remember, if it lasts more than 4 hours, call your doctor…and a few hot milfs from the neighborhood, too.

Mmmm…cigars. Hey Zman, cello on or off?
Political Correctness is just a ploy to stifle and shut up people who speak out against the socialist agenda, like a club to beat those they dislike. The sheeple will march on the White House today with kids in red wagons to protest his veto of the Schip (with a “P”!) legislation that taxes our cigars at a confiscatory rate. Using children to advance their socialist agenda is indeed a disgusting habit, one that they don’t even have the good graces to pay for as do we smokers with our taxes.
Keep on hammering it home, and maybe we can beat back this fascist-like attack on our chosen and legal lifestyle. WTG “Z”!

HA!
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
Hey Tommy, congrats on the blog! I hope you’re getting paid as much as the David Duchovny character gets paid for his blog on Californication!!!
And PC is the worst thing that has ever happened to free speech!

Tommy is getting paid for this?!?!? There is no justice I tell ya!!! LOL!
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
Awesome Tommy!
Here’s what I would like to know. Why can’t I get a freakin’ steak cooked rare or even medium rare at some restaurants!?!?!
Oh yeah, I know, because they have to save me from myself.
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
Ding, ding, ding! Give Kevin G. A purple nurple for that brilliant response!!!
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
Hopefully your kids will be able to get scholarships so you can take the money and buy more cigars.
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
I got here as quickly as I could. Have all the prizes been given out?
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
You’re in luck, Moe. I have one signed photo of the Geico Caveman, and a golf ball Gerald Ford hit me with.
Your choice. – Zman
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
No way I can make a decision like that. Sell em both and donate the money to the schip kids.
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
Looking forward to many more ruminations about the cigar world.
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
Good job Tommy and good luck with this site!
Is there any way we can recall the entire congressional body at the same time? How about our state congress and governor! Dim witted, non-American born… lawyer… GRR!!!
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
OK, I looked up “rumination” for those of you who need a little help. Lets see… it says, “any disorder of the extremities or back, characterized by pain and stiffness. No, wait a minute… that’s rheumatism. Oh, yea, rumination: 1. to chew the cud, as a ruminant. 2.to meditate or muse; ponder.
Gee, thanx, Debaire. – ZMan

Bro, today was just warm up throws. The fastball rears it’s ugly head starting tomorrow.
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
Preach, Brother! Preach! Amen!
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
And I thought this blog thing you were talking about was a figment of your imagination? Did Lew fall and hit his head?
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
Please don’t tell him about this. I hoped to kind of surprise him.
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
I’ll give you political correctness run amok….today in Minnesota the “Freedom to Breathe” act took effect. Fuggin’ pompous puffed up politicans can bite my Swedish sausage!!!!!
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
Good Luck Tommy.

Congrats, Tommy. I’ll be watching you.

Government, taxes, I am trying to open a bakery and I’m getting killed by the regs. I can barely afford the stogies. If you want to do business Hawaii ain’t the place. Aloha habs.

Dude! Nice gig.
How’d your pimp take the news that you got a real job?
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
Hey Tommy,
Congratulations on your new gig. Looking forward to all the activity on the blog. All the best and see you at Wednesday’s dinner.

Some things are better left unsaid. Including the fact that I have a pimp. But thanx for your concern.
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
Zman – you’re my hero and I want your man child. (this isn’t going public is it)
Congrats on the new gig – way to pull the wool over their eyes. haha Best of luck with this.

Well, that’s fine and dandy. If only your new email address worked….. I sent you a ditty to zman@jrcigarblogs.com but it bounced back as undeliverable.

“Tommy Z is a humorist”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
Funny thing,I was just wondering when would show up again..
Best of luck and look forward to reading more!

Talk about the PC: Several years ago I was in a Cuban Cafe in the Yucatan city oF Merida and was told to put out my Cigar or leave. this was in MEXICO, man. In a Cuban Cafe! A few short years later they started putting up “No Smoking” signs in their airports. It was at that point that I knew that there would be no safe place in the world for us (except maybe active war zones). For an ex patriot it was the message “You can’t run, You can’t hide, PC is taking over the world!” We need to fight back with radical action, never ruling out random violence. Simple words will no longer suffice in this battle for PF (Personal Freedom). You must understand that, if you, in any way. support the weakening of our Constitution (including the Bill of Rights), you are feeding these Bastards! So if you are actively support gun bans, suppression of certain religions, or ANY type of free speech (such as what just took place at Columbia!) you are playing into their clutches. One side or the other Federalist/Libertarian or PC. Make your choice, pick your side and prepare to fight for your ground.

My point really wasn’t that the Iranian psycho got to speak at Columbia. In fact it was great because he made a complete fool of himself. My point is that we let a f#@king criminal who harbors terrorists into our country and gave him police escorts. That is beyond ludicrous in my book. Reagan and the Pope get shot but that hideous bastid walks free. Wonder if he rode the Ferris Wheel at Toys R Us.
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
Don’t trust this guy! He’s really a shill for moveon.org and that fat b@stard Michael Moore. He’s all about smoke and mirrors … this guy is just trying to get you into his multilevel marketing scheme with Tom Cruise and The Church of Scientology. His screen name is Tommy Z or ZMan, but his real name is Osama Ware da Fuqowee and he’s been known to steal kosher hot dogs from the local 7-11. He likes to dip them in his bubble gum icee before feeding them to his minions of evil cigar smoking dwarfs. Rumor is that he’s the real father of Britney Spears’ children and that KISS has them on their payroll to get them in the rock and roll hall of fame. If anyone deserves to be in to hall of fame it’s Milli Vanilli … at least they won a Grammy. Did KISS ever do that?! Remember, do not trust this man. Anyone who speaks the truth for the common man can’t be trusted! Just ask Jimmy Swaggart!!!

What’s your favorite stogie?
October 1st, 2007 at 12:00 am
Jackson asked: “What’s your favorite stogie?”
I can’t possibly pick one… Cuban Monte #2, Cuban Hoyo DC, Padron Anniversario Maduros, Punch Grand Cru #2, Fuente Cuban Sungrown Belicoso, Punch Robusto Double Maduro.
