Fine Upstanding People Those Insurgents

The 'insurgents' in Iraq are fighting to force American troops out??

I don't think so:

Disabled child in suicide attack

Terrorists used a disabled child as a suicide bomber on election day, Iraqi interior minister Falah al-Naqib said today.

In all, 44 people were killed in a total of 38 bomb attacks on polling stations. Police at the scene of one the Baghdad blasts said the bomber appeared to have Down's syndrome.

Mr Al-Naqib praised an Iraqi citizen who was killed while preventing one suicide bomber from reaching a crowd of people outside a polling station.

I betting they offered this kid a choo-choo train and a bag of candy if he just did this one little favor for Uncle Abu.....

Lovely, just lovely.

Shall me compare those 'atrocities' at Abu Grahib to this cause I'm sure they're comperable.....

Brraaacccckkkk!!!!

Just spotted this in the newest edition of the UCSD Guardian as a shining example of your state-subsidized education dollars at work (second item):

Study cites cow belching as source of pollution

Mooo-BRRRAAAACCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!Cow manure may not be as bad for California’s air as previously thought, a first-of-its-kind UC Davis study has found. In fact, cows, much maligned for their contribution of greenhouse-effect-causing methane gas, actually produce only half the amount of the state’s air pollution previously attributed to them.

Perhaps most important, the majority of a dairy cow’s contribution to smog comes not from her manure but from her belching, the university’s scientists said.

“Our discovery means our whole approach to dairy waste management and air-emissions management might change,” stated UC Davis air-quality specialist Frank Mitloehner, who conducted the study. “For the most tightly regulated pollutants, the 700 ozone-forming gases collectively called ‘volatile organic compounds,’ the source is not the cows’ waste. It’s the cows.”

The study was to be presented to the California Air Resource Board at its Jan. 26 meeting in Fresno, Calif.

I would have hated to be the poor graduate student that was responsible for collecting the samples from their control group.....Hey Carl - it's time to get this mornings samples. Here's the jar.

That's the great thing about UC Davis: it's one of the few schools that sells shit-stomping overshoes in the bookstore.

It Doesn't Count!!

I haven't really kept up with the Iraqi elections happening over the last two days, but I do know one thing: no matter what the outcome in these historic elections, the Barking Moonbat Brigade™ will declare that they were illegitimate elections because of any of the following *cough* reasons:

  • the U.S. is an occupying force,
  • the war in Iraq was illegal and as such, anything that follows is illegal by default,
  • Bush = Hitler,
  • the war and this election were all for O-I-L,
  • it was the United States backing of those darn Joooozzzzz in Israel,
  • solar flare activity on the Sun is a direct result of Bush not signing the Kyoto Accords and global warming is causing the Iraqis that are voting to be swayed by U.S. special interests,
  • ....Abu Ghraib!, Abu Ghraib!, Abu Ghraib!,
  • Gore really won Florida in 2000 and as such, everything since then is just plain fraud,
  • because dolphins are actually liberals and those evil GOP minons are suppressing their opinions on the war
Did I miss anything? Probably, but that's the beauty of the Barking Moonbat Brigade's™ argument(s): they're so convoluted that nobody can really dissect them.

American vs. Import - The 'Dings' Have It

Geoffery at Dog Snot Diaries tells the tale of an American truck versus a Mazda in a classic not paying attention to WTF you're doing while driving traffic collision.

Short version: he get's slammed from behind and his Dodge truck gets minor damage while the Mazda is totalled. I'm hoping that he'll post some photos.

This gives me pause to re-think that notion I have about getting another Toyota truck once I graduate from UCSD - seriously re-thinking it.

I'll have to wait and see what's on the market when the time comes, but for the most part I have no complaints about my 1996 Tacoma truck - it's got over 137k miles on it and it's still running stong. Of course I bought it knowing that Toyota trucks have a history of being very dependable, plus I was trying to get something that was decent on gas mileage.

Like I said - I'll have to wait and see what's available. Who knows....maybe there will be some sort of hybrid gas/electric available in a truck.

Wait and see.....

UPDATE: I erred in reporting that Geoff was in a Dodge truck - it turns out it was just a typical Dodge car. More later after I stop feeling stoopid.....

UPDATE II: I called Geoff's car 'typical' - my mistake.

Cat Blogging Friday

It's Friday and once again it's time to put up another cat.

This week - like last week - I'm gonna 'bend the rules' a bit and put up another cool 'cat'. This time it's an F-14 Tomcat doing a high-speed, low-level flyby right at flight deck level on the USS Stennis.

F-14 Tomcat Flyby And I'm here to tell you that seeing a gray blur such as this - only 20 yards away - it just freakin awesome!! The physical shock wave, the sound sooooo loud that the world trembles - it is something that cannot be truely described.....only felt.

Go ahead - you know you want to click the photo.....

Oooohhhh - He Said THIS!!

I've got a new secret troll/admirer that goes by the name theRAWdeal.

It would seem that Mr. RAW doesn't agree with my assesment(s) on how to combat certain social problems like rape or drunk driving.

Suprisingly, he/she/it had to take the critique over to Maria's place instead of leaving a comment here. The only reason I can gather is that he/she/it is:

  1. Afraid that I'll 'squash his freedom of speech' and delete it, or
  2. He/She/It has previously been benned from leaving a comment
Most of you know that I do not just arbitrarily delete comments I don't agree with. On the contrary, I leave them up and argue against them based on logic, reasoning, and facts.

Deleting comments outright is childish - unless they've been warned previously.

Well anyway.....what do I have to say about this critique? B-I-T-E me.

Looking Good

Lately, whenever I hear of a 're-make' of something I usually tend to groan - loudly. But no so with Marvel Comics taking some of their heroes to the big screen, such as The Fantastic Four.

Take a peek at the trailer here. As Chet describes it - it's fantastic!!

That 'Tingly' Feeling

Today while I was getting ready to come off the dialysis machine, one of the dialysis techs solved a mystery that had been boggling me for quite a while.

Ever since I started dialysis last November, I'd always have a peculiar thing happen to me: my feet would tingle - like they were asleep.

I've made mention of this to the dialysis nurses, but it was the tech that answered the question as to why it happens.

Now, hemodialysis basically removes 'garbage' from the blood system that the kidneys would normally get rid of, i.e. urine. And depending upon how much your weigh at the beginning of the session determines how much 'garbage' is taken out (It's a semi-convoluted algebra equation that I haven't bothered to learn). Typically, I get anywhere from one to three kilograms of crap taken out. (It's also a drastic method to lose eight pounds quickly).

Now when you have excess fluids taken out of the body, most patients experience cramping which is basically clinical dehydration. The cramping I expect, but haven't had a serious case of yet - slight cramping in the toes and calves. But I'd also have this tingling sensation - sometimes before dialysis is complete, sometimes hours after I'm done.

What the tech told me was that it (basically) is the body's way of compensating for the decreased amount of blood/fluids in the body, i.e., the heart beats a little faster, blood vessels constrict slightly, etc. And this is why my feet would be tingling for hours - my body is dealing with the absence of that crap removed.

Rice Confirmed, Dems Seethe

Dispite the blatant 'bitter pill' swallowing that the Senate Democrats were forced to do in public, Condoleezza Rice was confirmed today in the U.S. Senate by a vote of 85 to 13.

She'll be sworn in this evening and Senate Dems will still be choking on their own bile....

Lost Argument

Something that Jaws mentioned when posting about Ted Turner losing it and comparing Fox News to Hitler:

Godwin's law

Godwin's law (also Godwin's rule of Nazi analogies) is an adage in Internet culture that was originated by Mike Godwin in 1990. The law states that:

As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.
You know what this means?

It means that the anti-war/anti-Bush protestors lost their own argument two years ago with the first 'Bush = Hitler' placard....

No Oscar for Mikey Moore

I'm thinking this is a 'self-preservation' move on the Academy's part:

'Aviator' Gets 11 Academy Award Nods

[...]

Michael Moore's gamble to hold his hit film "Fahrenheit 9/11" out of the documentary category - to boost its best-picture prospects - backfired. The movie was shut out across the board.

If his piece of crap *cough* movie had been nominated, I would almost being willing to bet hard cash that there would heve been such a backlash against the movie industry; the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences would have lost a ton of creadibility to such an extent that movie studios would feel the pinch where it hurts the most: box office receipts.

Do This.....or Else!

Company Fires All Employees Who Smoke

Michigan Firm Won't Allow Smoking, Even On Employee's Own Time

LANSING, Mich. -- Four employees of a health care company have been fired for refusing to take a test to determine whether they smoke cigarettes.

Weyco Inc., a health benefits administrator based in Okemos, Mich., adopted a policy Jan. 1 that allows employees to be fired if they smoke, even if the smoking happens after business hours or at home.

Company founder Howard Weyers has said the anti-smoking rule was designed to shield the firm from high health care costs. "I don't want to pay for the results of smoking," he said.

The rule led one employee to quit before the policy was adopted. Four others were fired when they balked at the smoking test.

Chief Financial Officer Gary Climes estimated that 18 to 20 of the company's 200 employers were smokers when the policy was announced in 2003. Of those, as many as 14 quit smoking before the policy went into effect. The company offered them help to kick the habit.

"That is absolutely a victory," Climes said.

On the company's Web site, it states:

Weyco Inc. is a non-smoking company that strongly supports its employees in living healthy lifestyles.
But downing a quart of Jack Daniel's on your off-time is okey-dokey? And going to a gay porno theater and getting slammed by a complete stranger is fine with company executives??

Oh please - spare us the 'we're doing this for your own good' crap.

Even though I quit smoking back in late-October to get on the transplant list, this kind of crap still irritates me.

Personally if I had been in this position and was faced with either quitting smoking or being fired, I'd probably tell them to go pound sand and make them fire me. With very few exceptions, I do not take do this....or else threats lightly.

If a company is going to dictate what you do in your off-time with this one little thing, what is to stop them from telling you how to cook your food, or how to raise your children, or how you should vote.

All it takes is one thing that leads to another, which leads to another, etc, etc.

It's a 'slippery-slope' that I'd prefer to not get pushed onto.....

Boxer & the Blame Game

Here we have the classic action - reaction from Senator Barbara Boxer (Moonbat - CA):

Sen. Boxer takes victim role after hearing for Rice

BoxerSen. Barbara Boxer says she is the real victim of last week's confirmation hearing for Secretary of State-designate Condoleezza Rice, yet continued yesterday to question the national security adviser's honesty.

"She turned and attacked me," the California Democrat told CNN's "Late Edition" in describing the confrontation during the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing.

"I gave Dr. Rice many opportunities to address specific issues. Instead, she said I was impugning her integrity," Mrs. Boxer said.

No you ditz - you rambled on for something like 12 minutes - incoherently - about the Iraq War and never formulated a question - at least, not one that wasn't prefaced with spittle flying from your mouth.

And now that the public really sees just how unhinged you were then and are now, you're trying to make it look like it's Dr. Rice's fault!?

It's ironic that I'd see a female senator - from California no less - attempt to utilize the 'she was real purty and wanted to be attacked - she had it coming to here' defense in trying to explain themselves after the caffeine had worn off.

Wow.....that take's a lot of courage to blame the target of a psychotic rant Senator Cowardly Lion - and on national television to boot too!!

I'm not certain if it's possible, but if anyone wants to start some sort of recall election to get rid of Boxer - sign me up!! This broad has got to go.

UPDATE: Just after I posted this I found that Citizen Smash had posted something about this very subject:

Recall Senator Boxer?

"She's a pathetic embarassment."

RADIO PERSONALITY RICK ROBERTS is proposing a recall campaign against US Senator Barbara Boxer, citing her obstruction of the certification of the Electoral College vote, and her disrespect of Secretary of State nominee Condoleeza Rice.

Now there's a petition I could get behind.

Me too.

Synonym for Pavement Pizza

Last night, some friend came over and stayed for dinner.

During dinner, someone mentioned the movie 'Spaceballs' and all of us started quoting memorable lines from the movie.

The progression when something like this:

'Who are you?
'Barf!'
'Not in here you're not!'

which then segued to this:

'What's your name?'
'Barf'"
'Your full name!'
'Barfolomew'

which in turn lead to my telling the story about having to explain the various ways to describe vomiting to my kid a couple of years back.

This in turn got us all (including my kid) trying to remember the assorted synonyms for puking.

Pablo the Punk

Hey-hey-hey: I'm an 'official' desenter at the Pablo the Punk whiner website:

Quite honestly, Pablo has NO integrity. Nobody really enjoys deploying - I didn't - but I still did because I signed on the dotted line.

Does he think that a prospective employer will admire him for shirking his responsibilities? If I was in a position to hire Pablo, I'd flatout say 'NO' and send him on his way.

He could have easily applied for a Contentious Objector status, but instead he went the media way to draw attention to himself. And I'd like to think that he was bullshited by the morons at the San Diego Military Counseling Project into thinking that the Navy wouldn't prosecute him for missing ships movement.

Unfortunately, he got suckered into being a pawn for the anti-war movement and he'll have to reconcile it within himself for the rest of his life. Does he think that these 'backers' will stay with him throughout the courts-martial? Doubtful they will - they'll move on to the lastest media sensation to bring attention to their cause(s) and will leave Pablo spinning in the wind.

Please pass on to him that there is yet ANOTHER Navy veteran here in San Diego that considers him a coward and a moron to boot.

Sincerely,
Mike

And true to form, the anti-war crowd has dropped Pablo like so much wet garbage - notice how there hasn't been much of anything in the news lately?

Pablo was useful only while he was a 'hot' item to further their psychotic cause(s) and now he's sitting in the Temporary Personnel Unit at 32nd Street Naval Station wondering if his actions were really worth it.

Don't believe me?? Try to find anything new on his site - you won't.

Heeeeeerrrreeee's Johnny!

Damn.

Ex-'Tonight Show' Host Johnny Carson Dies

Carnac the MagnificentLOS ANGELES — The king of late-night talk shows, Johnny Carson, died Sunday of complications from emphysema. He was 79.

"Mr. Carson passed away peacefully early Sunday morning," his nephew, Jeff Sotzing, told The Associated Press. "He was surrounded by his family, whose loss will be immeasurable. There will be no memorial service."

[...]

"Johnny Carson made an awful lot of people laugh and an awful lot of people happy. I always say that any time a man provides laughter to the masses, he should get eternal life," comedian Jerry Lewis told FOX News. "His talent was exceptional ... I adored him and loved him as a friend."

"Laura and I are saddened by the death of Johnny Carson," President Bush said in a written statement.

"His wit and insight made Americans laugh and think and had a profound influence on American life and entertainment," the statement continued. "He was a patriot who served in the United States Navy during World War II and always remembered his roots in the heartland of America."

Rest in Peace Johnny.

Treating the Symptom, Not the Problem

CDC recommends preventive AIDS drugs for those exposed to virus

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Health professionals applauded the federal government for including people exposed to the HIV virus through isolated episodes of unsafe sex or drug use among those recommended for emergency treatment, calling the new policy an overdue surprise from the Bush administration.

Previously, federal health officials advised a preventative 28-day regimen of AIDS drugs only for health care workers accidentally exposed on the job. But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expanded its guidelines Thursday, saying rape victims, as well as some individuals who knowingly put themselves at risk, should receive the drug cocktail that can keep them from becoming infected with HIV.

'We Love America!!'....Now Leave!

It's amazing how the United States was just blown massive amounts of crap for not forking over many millions/billions of dollars the nanosecond after that tsunami killed all those people in south Asia.

We were 'condemned' for being stingy, for usurping the *cough* authority of the United Nations in their (so called) relief efforts. And that's not too hard to do: the United Nations was just putting on their non-child manufactured shoes to go to the airport while Americans were already on the ground distributing water, food, medical aid, etc.

The 'Rules'

I was just over at Maria's place and took note of her losing her shit...again...over comments and having to take measures to ban someone.

Considering that she's deleted some of my comments - possibly with cause, but most likely cause I made her look foolish - I thought I'd re-post the 'Golden Rules' about commenting here:

  1. My Blog, My Rules.

  2. Dissent is tolerated.
    This means that you can disagree with me on what I post about.

  3. Ass-hats are not.
    This means that if you come across like a bezerk pre-schooler in your comments, it'll be deletion city for you.

  4. Keep foul language to a minimum, if at all.
    Use common sense on this one - if anything, use lots of asteriks: * * *

  5. I reserve the right to be an ass-hat.
    And when I am, I'll admit it.

  6. I reserve the right to ban ass-hats and spammers.
    Here in the House of Mikey, I am the Evil Overlord and can act accordingly.

  7. When in doubt, refer to rule #1.
There - so simple that even a barking moonbat can understand it.

Then again, maybe not....

There was an Anti-Bush Inauguration protest yesterday in downtown San Diego.

In attendance were the usual suspects and also San Diego Protest Warrior to steal the media away from the Barking Moonbat Brigade.

While some PW actions were met with the ever-present 'love' of the anti-war crowd, the action here in San Diego went quietly.

Common Sense - 2, Newdow - 0

The United States Supreme Court has spoken: Newdow - Go Pound Sand!

Supreme Court Rejects Atheist's Inauguration Prayer Bid

WASHINGTON — An atheist lost his bid Wednesday to have the Supreme Court bar the saying of a prayer at President Bush's inauguration.

Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist denied Michael Newdow's claim that a prayer at Thursday's ceremony would violate the Constitution by forcing him to accept unwanted religious beliefs.

In so doing, Rehnquist also rejected Newdow's request to recuse himself from the case because he is scheduled to swear in Bush. Newdow had argued that Rehnquist had become a willing fixture in a government ceremony "infused with sectarian Christian religion" and thus had a conflict of interest.

Rehnquist's order came without comment.

Now I expect we'll be hearing from the Barking Moonbat Brigade about the 'collusion' between Rehnquist and Bushitler and how it's all part & parcel of the VRWC and its plot to impose a theocratic regime here in North America.

Barbara Boxer - Representing!

I just love being represented by such a howling moonbat such as Senator Barbara Boxer (Moonbat-CA).

I mean, I can't understand why people think that everyone in California is a stark-raving mad, wheat germ munching, tofu frying, lemon-scented water sipping esoteric jerk when we've got Barbara sitting in D.C. representing [/hip hop slang].

Case in point: yesterday, she's cited as saying the following during the Senate Hearings for the confirmation of Secretary of State nominee Condoleezza Rice:

Well, you should read what we voted on when we voted to support the war, which I did not, but most of my colleagues did. It was WMD, period. That was the reason and the causation for that, you know, particular vote.
while holding up a piece of paper in a very Neville Chamberlain-like manner.

And as with then-Prime Minister Chamberlain who was simply holding up a folded piece of paper for the cameras, Boxer was probably holding up her assistant's 'To Do' list for that day because unless Barbara was high on helium, the resolution she's referring to - the 'Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002' says a LOT more about why we were citing the reason(s) to go into Iraq.

Among the reasons:

  • Non-compliance with the 1991 Gulf War cease-fire agreement,
  • Iraq repeatedly showing hostile intent towards the United States,
  • Iraq was harboring members of Al Qaida,
  • Iraq was also harboring & aiding international terrorists,
but a bigger objective that seems to always get lost in the argument:
  • Whereas it is in the national security interests of the United States to restore international peace and security to the Persian Gulf region
You can read the resolution - the ENTIRE resolution - here.

And what was the reason for getting off our asses back in September 2001? Oh yeah - to fight terrorism you ditzy broad.

There was a reason for getting extremely concerned about weapons of mass destruction: we were about to crap our pants over the thought of those Al Qaida psychos getting a gallon of Sarin or a beer cooler full of antrax and letting loose with that crap in New York, Los Angeles, or Washington, D.C.

So with these facts firmly in mind I'd like to make a suggestion to Barbara:

STFU.

Now please - you're giving us anti-Idiotarians here in California a bad name.

Oh My Dog!!

Although I'll give him credit for being tenacious, this clown just doesn't know when to quit:

Atheist Appeals to Supreme Court Over Inauguration Prayer

WASHINGTON — The atheist who tried to remove "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance asked the Supreme Court on Tuesday to bar the saying of a prayer at President Bush's inauguration.

In an emergency filing, Michael Newdow argued that a prayer at Thursday's ceremony would violate the Constitution by forcing him to accept unwanted religious beliefs. His request has been rejected by two lower courts.

Newdow also asked that Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, who is designated as the justice to hear emergency appeals for the D.C. Circuit, recuse himself because he is scheduled to swear in Bush and thus has a conflict of interest.

I wouldn't be suprised - not one bit - if Newdow also wanted all dogs cleared out of the district because you can anagram D-O-G into G-O-D.

Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle

Harold & Kumar Go to White CastleThe wife & I watched this last night and both of us almost choked to death from laughing so hard.

While this movie isn't for the 'faint of heart', it is one funny-ass movie.

I highly recommend it - just do not eat popcorn while watching it.

ADDED BONUS: If you rent this on DVD, put the disc into your player and turn it on - but don't select any of the options. Just watch it first.....you'll like it.

Question for the Masses

Does anyone around here use Thunderbird for e-mail??

For the moment, I use MS Outlook at home for my e-mail (that's routed through my Internet Service Provider), but I'm curious about other e-mail programs other than the general MicroSoft crap.

Putting on the Ritz (Cracker)

Dispite feeling 'crappy', it's a quite evening at home....helping the kid with geography homework - specifically, the 13 American colonies.

The wife is having some sort of 'candle party' - the house is full of chicks, all gauking at candles & froo-froo crap like that. The nice part is that I can hide out in the bedroom and occasionally venture out to pick up nummies that are spread out all over the dining table.

Mmmmmm......pepperoni & cheese on a Ritz cracker.....

Different day, but it's basically a repeat of yesterday - especially the 'feeling crappy' part.

SoCal Blech on a Sunny Day

Nothing 'interesting' to post about today except:

  • Maria at By Beauty Damned is losing her shit over 'right-wing thugs' making her look foolish on a myriad of topics. So serious that she's banning some and going on a deletion spree.

  • Hemodialysis officially sucks cause you feel like shit when you get 'drained' to your body's 'dry weight'.

    Take my advice: avoid it at all costs.

  • It's not raining anymore here in Southern California, but the damage is done: big-ass mudslide up in my sister's neck of the woods and Eucalyptus trees are uprooting all over San Diego because the ground is super-saturated.
Like I said - nothing much....

Digital Brown Shirts vs. LGF

It's one thing to disagree with something that's posted on the Internet - specifically the 'blogsphere', but it's another to perpetraite a Denial Of Service attack:

WHERE'S LITTLE GREEN FOOTBALLS?

[...]

Whoever is responsible for the attacks should be hunted down and punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Someone out there wants to shut down LGF and shut up Charles Johnson and his commenters--the best in the blogosphere. Johnson deserves whatever support, linkage, traffic, tip jar donations you can share when his site is back up. And thanks, Charles, for doing what you do and not backing down.

It always amazes me that when some barking moonbat cannot stand to have another opinion floated that contradicts theirs or even makes them out to be a complete fool that they have to resort to the 'digital brown shirt' tactics like this.

IMO these morlocks are no better than pedophiles and deserve the same punishment - quartering.

Boxer's Endorsement for Women

Nicely glommed from Jeff at Beautiful Atrocities:

I need a hug
Hi, I'm Barbara Boxer. It's not easy being a woman in a man's Congress. Usually I laugh off things like partial-birth abortion & White House blowjobs, but sometimes the pressures of imaginary election fraud are just too much

That's why I take Turbo-femme®, the all-natural hormone replacement product to help women through challenging times.

Turbo-femme® is an ancient, 100% synergistic formula containing wild Mongolian dong quai, bear gallstone, Spanish Fly, tarantula venom, Ecstasy, Nutrasweet, placenta paste, bat guano, anabolic steroids, Oxycontin, homeopathic plutonium, industrial strength Prozac, & enough acid to smile through Armageddon.

Turbo-femme®: because I'm worth it.

Also available in suppositories: "Your ass will thank you!"

Stellar Thinking Dude

Sometimes I cruise over to San Diego Indy Media to see what the local barking moonbats are up to these days.

Here's a real gem of an idea they have for January 20th: Nationwide General Strike.

After laughing hysterically at this, I left the following comment for them (assuming it doesn't get deleted since they've been known to do that with comments that make them look stupid):

I always love these great ideas - General Nationwide Strike.

Brilliant.

They're Back

Just when you thought the threat of them was gone:

Mahmoud Abbas celebrates with two Iraqi Death Bunnies

(United Mikey Syndicate News) RAMALLAH - Palestinian Authority newly elected President Mahmoud Abbas shown celebrating his victory with two Iraqi Death Bunnies® in Ramallah on Sunday.

Observers were noted to be somewhat shocked at the apperance of the highly dangerous Iraqi weapons of mass destruction sought by Coalition Forces currently in Iraq.

Insiders speculate that the weapons, long thought destroyed or hidden in the early days of the Iraq War of March 2003, were placed in the care of then Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat at the time since there was a clear link of support, both financial and political, between Arafat and then Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

U.S. State Department spokesperson Lloyd Hammerstein was quoted as saying "The appearance of these long-sought after weapons are a clear indication that the missing WMD components obviously were secreted out of Iraq in the early days of the war" and followed up his statement with a one-cheek sneek explusion of methane.

Further questioning of Hammerstein was answered with various belches as he had reportedly entered the briefing room from a luncheon meeting at TGI Fridays.

Oh dear God.....the horror.....the horror.

Control Group

Dodd takes notice of the insanity of some people:

Some days I'm convinced that these people aren't really this nutty but, rather, that stuff like this is just an act designed to make left-liberal Democrats who want to nationalize health care look "mainstream." But it's fleeting since the evidence is pretty overwhelming that they really are this crazy.
I'm kind of bummed that I didn't think of this (as a joke) before the theory that the evil U.S. was behind the tsunami was put forth (with a straight face too). This is the kind of thinking that makes (and breaks) television sit-coms.

I don't think it is so much attributed to insanity than we're seeing what the control group for anti-retard medication does in their spare time.....

I don't have a image of either of my cats handy, so I thought I'd show another kind of 'cat' - the F8F Bearcat that was flown by my father when he was a member of the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Team, the Blue Angels in the late 1940s.

Say What? Redux

I was floored when I heard about this yesterday:

Couple Who Locked Boy In Trunk Avoid Prison
7-Year-Old Said He Was Locked In Trunk 11 Times

SAN DIEGO -- A judge in a downtown courtroom sentenced a couple to probation Wednesday for locking the woman's son in the trunk of their car while they celebrated her birthday in a bar.

Sarah Marie Powell, 27, locked her 7-year-old son in the trunk while she and her boyfriend, Jake Faria, 31, celebrated her birthday Aug. 23 inside Winston's Beach Club in Ocean Beach.

The couple pleaded guilty to two charges of felony abuse. They were sentenced to four years of probation and 500 hours of community service.

Powell's attorney, Mary Ellen Attridge, told NBC 7/39 that the plea bargain was made possible because tests showed the child was medically and psychologically sound. Faria and Powell are now seeing the boy daily and are on track to get custody of him in March.

Great move - let's give them probation cause the child wasn't really hurt.....Give me a freakin break, huh?

Someone needs a serious ass kicking on this - both the mother & boyfriend, followed by the judge.

Psychotic Professor

One of the courses that I'm taking this quarter is ECE 102 Active Circuit Design. Unfortunately, I also took this course last quarter and bombed the final exam - so I'm repeating it.

Anyway....I'm checking out the class website and see that the prof has already posted the first lab assignment.

(NOTE: although I bombed the final exam, I did kick ass in all the labs so I'm gonna see if the prof can accept the work I did last quarter and allow me to avoid having to do the labs again. All it'll take is a form and that will be taken care of tomorrow.)

I clicked on the lab link and looked it over and immediately thought this guy is nuts!!

You can see what I'm talking about here (Adobe Acrobat required to read it).

Only after about three minutes of gawking at it do I realize that it's a spoof lab and that the real one will be posted within the week.

Damn - that's messed up.

Prediction

Moxie makes a prediction about the relief efforts going down in South Asia:

MoxieYou know -- after we spend hundreds of millions to rebuild the devasted island of Sumatra in the next few years -- the left will continue to bitch and moan that GWB is not doing enough.

And IF in however many years ONE person who lives there, visited there or thought about visiting Sumatra is involved in a terrorist attack on the US, the very same lefties will be the ones pointing fingers at that evil George W. Bush. "He rebuilt that area and funded terrorists!"

Mark my words.

Uh.....Yeah

Here is an example of some of the 'cutting-edge' articles featured in my school's newspaper:

Learn to get ahead with better foreplay
Useful tricks to improve oral and manual sex on men

Guys seem like they’re real easy, don’t they? To get off, I mean. Supposedly, it just takes a few rubs with their own hands, a few more rubs with the partner’s hand — or perhaps a few licks from willing lips — and they’re quite orgasmically satisfied. Well, first of all, although this may be true for most, it is certainly not true for all. Secondly, even if it were true that all men could easily be satisfied within a few minutes, it would be absolutely no excuse for making those experiences less than mediocre. So, today’s question arises: How can the lover make a blow job or a hand job something more than just more complicated masturbation sessions? (I’ll address the vagina in another issue.)

This is the kind of stuff happening at UCSD that just makes me shake my head and pray that my daughter goes to the U.S. Naval Academy....

You Might Be A Liberal...

Something from Brent over at The Ville that made me chuckle man-style:

You Might Be a Liberal If...:

  • You think that protestors outside nuclear power plants are dedicated activists, but protestors outside abortion clinics are dangerous zealots interfering with a legal activity.

  • You believe that more federal regulations will make your life better.

  • You believe that even though the top 20 percent of taxpayers pay 80 percent of income taxes, that the rich are not paying their “fair share.”

  • You think that Rush Limbaugh’s listeners are mindless “dittoheads,” but you have never doubted anything that you heard from Michael Moore.

  • You believe that the network news is a better indicator of what “real” news is than talk radio, Internet news sites, and blogs.

  • You believe that there was never, ever a problem with biased news coverage until Fox News went on the air.

  • You believe that Mikhail Gorbachev deserves more credit for losing the Cold War than Ronald Reagan deserves for winning it.

  • You mentally subtract 100 points from someone’s IQ if the person speaks with a Southern accent.

  • You think that Dan Rather got a raw deal.

  • You think that the phrase “separation of church and state” is in the Constitution.

  • You pride yourself on your global awareness, global sensitivity and global outlook, but can’t name your state legislator or school board representative.

  • You are dedicated to helping the poor, the downtrodden and the less fortunate, but you have never given blood.

  • You believe that a woman should make it on her own, without depending on her husband (except for Hillary Clinton).

  • You believe that professional, working women should never be judged on their appearance (except for Katherine Harris).

  • You believe that rich people should not be allowed to contribute so much money to candidates for office (except for George Soros).

  • You believe that government should make a special effort to hire members of traditionally oppressed groups, such as African-Americans (except for Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice).

  • You feel a deep sense of common cause with oppressed groups, such as Hispanic immigrants (except for Cuban Americans fleeing Castro).

  • You believe that a mother’s wishes for her child, especially a mother’s last, dying wish for her child, should outweigh the wishes of a father who had long before deserted his family (unless the child is named Elian Gonzalez).

  • You have no problem with Hollywood movie starts flying around in private jets to give speeches on the evils of SUVs.

  • You think that raising taxes will reduce the budget deficit.

  • You are more concerned, more often, with the rights of convicted felons than you are with the rights of small business owners.

  • You uphold a woman’s right to choose, unless a woman chooses adoption, chooses to be a stay-at-home mom, chooses to homeschool, or chooses to start a business.

  • You are more concerned with Vice President Cheney’s links to Halliburton than with Saddam Hussein’s links to international terrorism.

  • You have used the phrase, “in Europe, the government pays for health care and vacation,” without irony.

  • You are worried about how the French view Americans.

  • You believe that nativity scenes should be banned from public view, but that anyone objecting to pornography "only has to look the other way".

  • And finally, you are almost certainly a liberal if you refuse to admit that you’re a liberal, and accuse anyone of calling you a liberal of McCarthyism.

First Blech of 2005

Nothing of note to blog about today except:

  • The Winter 2005 quarter started yesterday - getting back into the groove of school and planning study-buddy sessions.
  • More rain for San Diego - we sure could use it, but I hate the fact that IQ points seem to ooze out of people's heads when they're driving in the rain. Lots of fender-benders involving stupid mo-fos.....
  • It is my firm opinion that hemodialysis just plain sucks; more on this later if I feel up to it.

It's enough to really make you want to puke:

Meanwhile, our military and civilians, working with the super Aussies, continue to keep the C-130 air bridge of supplies flowing and the choppers flying, and keep on saving lives -- and without 24hr catering services from any five-star hotel . . . . The contrast grows more stark every minute.

Stereotyping & Crocodile Tears

Gee.....didn't see this one coming:

Muslims decry '24' depiction

Crocodile TearsThe New York Daily News says a Muslim group is complaining about the first episode of Fox TV’s "24" because it features a Muslim terrorist.

The show hasn’t even aired yet, but a member of the Council on American-Islamic Relations got ahold of a preview trailer and described himself as "dismayed."

At issue is a scene in which a teenager helps his parents plot to kill Americans. "What we will accomplish today will change the world," the father tells the son over breakfast. "We are fortunate that our family has been chosen to do this."

CAIR’s Rabiah Ahmed said the scene "casts a cloud of suspicion over every American-Muslim family out there."

I would have thought that Hollywood writers would be jumping al over the virtual 'goldmine' in using Swedes and Danes as terrorists.

It's funny how CAIR will wave its arms in the air, stamp their feet, and scream bloody murder when Muslims/Arabs are 'stereotyped' but it's nothing but cricket-cricket-cricket when stuff happens to confirm these stereotypes.

Yeah - let's see some more of those crocodile tears.

Happy 2005

Taking it easy today since this is my last weekend of 'freedom' - school starts again on January 3rd.

Part of this will be reading some of the books that I got for Christmas, especially a biography of George Washington.

Although I seriously doubt I'll finish that one by the beginning of the week, I also got the Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant from my mother-in-law; this one also looks like a good read.
