“The Legitimate Businessman’s Social Club” is the main hangout of the Springfield mafia on the television show “The Simpsons.” The head of the mafia on The Simpsons is Marion Anthony “Fat Tony” D’Amico (right).
Not that the mafia actually exists. But if the mafia did exist, I’d like the mafia better than the government. First, they’re more effective in their chosen field and second, they make for better movies.
The Legitimate Businessman’s Social Club is also the name “friends of mine” have given to “our thing.” We meet occasionally to “play canasta” and “have a drink or two (12).” Nothing serious, mind you. We’re all “legitimate businessmen” and like to remind people just so they get it right.
My name is Eric P. Jackson. I’m a graduate of the University of Tennessee (’90, B.S. in Communications, major: Advertising) and a mediocre golfer. I enjoy college and pro football.
I play drums in a band called “3PorkFatigue.” It’s an inside joke. I play the guitar and bass for my own amusement.
I love music, enjoy technology and I’m a car fanatic, though I drive an SUV. My drums won’t fit in an M3.
I have a PhD in analogies from Keystone University, an very small unaccredited institution I founded as a way to teach my company’s customers and prospects about technology.
I love to write. I’m a contributor to BleacherReport.com. I’ve written an article that will soon be published in the Nashville Business Journal.
I enjoy stirring the pot and challenging stereotypes. I enjoy using stereotypes to stir the pot.
I’m a small business owner and fiscally conservative. I’ve had a gun permit for about 10 years and, despite what the gun-control nuts will have you believe, my gun has yet to commit any crimes. I haven’t committed any crimes either.
If you think the restriction of gun ownership by law abiding citizens is ever going to curb “gun violence,” then you can call me a gun-toting right winger because that will make your little brain feel better. I of course, will call you an idiot, because that’s what you are. Guns kill people in the same way spoons have made Rosie O’Donnell fat.
I don’t just think that the United States government is thoroughly incompetent; I know it. I think all governments are thoroughly incompetent, not just Uncle Sam. Governments are good at a one thing: destruction. People, buildings, wealth - it doesn’t really matter. Give a government the chance to destroy a ball bearing with a rubber mallet and they’ll make short work of it. The bigger the government, the more efficient they are at doing the one thing governments are good at doing.
This doesn’t mean that I don’t have respect for all people associated with the government…only 99.99% of them.
