Combatting Spammers

Hey, I need a favor: I want everyone to send me all sorts of useless crap to my Hotmail account: madmikey1@hotmail.com. Please, this account ONLY.

I'm trying to get the Inbox soooo full that any spam coming in will be bounced back to the spammers.

I know, it's a useless attempt to stop this 'plague of locusts' in the digital age, but it's worth the attempt. And even though I have another primary e-mail account, I still use this one for some things.

So....send me all sorts of useless crap - the larger the file, the better.

Whining - Presidential Style

Somebody please tell me this is a joke:

Mexico furious at tough US law on migrants

Mexico has reacted furiously to a bill signed into law by the US this week that would fund a border wall and prevent illegal Mexican migrants from obtaining US driving licences.

President Vicente Fox said he would lodge a diplomatic complaint, and was considering complaints to multilateral bodies if Mexico could not unable to resolve the problem bilaterally.

In the US, leaders of the Mexican community threatened to strike to send a message to US employers that they could not survive without cheap Mexican labour.

Santiago Creel, Mexico's interior secretary, said the “Real ID” law was “negative, inconvenient, and obstructionist”.

Is Fox serious? Lodge a complaint on a multilateral basis? Who's he gonna whine to about this? And would anyone really take his complaint to heart? And it's not like 'Real ID' is legislating that we line up illegal ~~immigrants~~ aliens and mow them down with a .50 caliber machine gun - it's just making it harder for illegal ~~immigrants~~ aliens to obtain driver's licenses.

Ummm.....Presidente Fox? Please don't tell us how to legislate in OUR nation. Maybe you should get off your dead ass and possibly address the problem as to why MILLIONS of your citizens are leaving Mexico, huh?

You dipstick....

Consider it a hostile invasion and conduct punitive strikes into mexico, leveling every settlement within 50 miles of the border.

Draft the protestors.

"Please don't tell us how to legislate in OUR nation."

Oh, if only the United States took that advice to heart.

What a world, what a world.

We DON'T tell other nations how to legislate themselves. We tell them how to behave if they wish to deal with us.

(Cacophany of IRAQ dies down...)

We would refer to that as a war.

That would be the benefit of being the biggest swinging dick in town.

|| Posted by Yogimus, May 15, 2005 05:00 AM ||

I'm sorry, could you clairfy yourself, your post looks likes many other posts collided into one superpost.

Yup, there it is... laws? What laws? Who needs to follow the laws if you're the biggest swinging dick in town.

BTW, I always find it interesting how macho right weiners will always, sooner or later, refer to the male genitalia, and it's always in reference to size...

rofl!!!!!!!!

We DON'T tell other nations how to legislate themselves. We tell them how to behave if they wish to deal with us

That comment alone contradicts itself, but I guess obvious contradictions like that don't matter to the swingin dick crowd.

Soon enough, with the emergence of China and India as world economic forces, the EU, and the centralization of economic power in South America, they won't have to deal with us. We'll be standing all by ourselves, the number one weapons salesmen in the world. Big whoopty doo.

|| Posted by scroff, May 15, 2005 11:03 AM ||

On the other hand, I don't know much about Mexican economics, but it would seem that Fox does need to do something to raise the standard of living in Mexico. But at the same time it would seem that it would behoove us to lend a hand.

The more powerful of two nations decides on what terms two nations will conduct business.

Sorry. I didn't make the rules.

Going back to my point, would not actually invading a country, killing its citizens and occupying it count as, oh, i don't know, kinda be the ultimate version of "telling someone else what to do"?

|| Posted by Blackglasses, May 15, 2005 08:32 PM ||

The more powerful of two nations decides on what terms two nations will conduct business.

Perhaps in the simplistic Bushian world of might makes whatever the fuck you swingin dick types think it makes, but in the real world this is a crock, or at least for the most part, were it not for all the corruption in the WTO.

I suppose the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law doesn't matter either if you happen to have the biggest swinging dick in town.

See, laws are established so that the biggest swinging dick in town can't make all the rules... here in America we like to refer to that as rule of law, and it used to be one of the core values of America.

Sorry. I didn't make the rules.

That's a very good thing... you obviously don't read them, either.

|| Posted by Yogimus, May 15, 2005 10:24 PM ||

Techincally, there are no "laws" at the international level. There is no higher authority to create and enfornce binding legislation (hence, the international system is refered to as "anarchal")

However, treaties, agreements and customs act as guidelines for the system and states in it. However, froma classical IR point of view (realist/neo-realist) each state voluntarly submits to items such as treaties, custom, etc.

The reality of the situation, dumb filters put aside, is that the United States occupies a hegemonic (dominating) role in IR due to its economic and military power, and techincally could act like the "biggest dick in town" but it has not, regardless of what you believe with your "USA USA # 1! EUROPE SUX" point of view for the simple reason that the US has invested so much time and effort into developing and international order that benefits it and its closest allies. If the US was to continusly act in a bellicose and arrogant matter (something Pres. Bush is trying to back away from in his second term, now that he's fooled the "USA USA # 1" crowd) it could find itself in dire straits.

So you are both mistaken. Not wrong, just mistaken.

|| Posted by Blackglasses, May 16, 2005 01:26 PM ||

Presidente Fox,

Your country is such a shithole, not even Mexicans want to live there.

|| Posted by Rob@L&R, May 17, 2005 04:40 AM ||

Good reply, BG. Unless I'm wrong, though, which has happened on rare occasions, there are several organizations that create and endeavor to enforce, or at least arbitrate, international law... such as the aforementioned UNCITRAL, the Permanent Court of Arbitration, ICSID, International Chamber of Commerce, Bank for International Settlements and the WTO.

Granted, "technically", they do not create "law" as we might understand it, and there is no enforcement such as an international cop showing up at the state's capital arresting the Prime Minister or President, and compliance is voluntary, but as I said, it's rule of law, something the US is supposed to strive for.

As far as the US' hegemonic role, we've seen how effective that is with globalization and the war in Iraq. It worked when Middle Eastern nations tried to nationalize the oil fields, but it is becoming less and less dominant.

Perhaps we have to differentiate between the US and US corporations?

|| Posted by scroff, May 17, 2005 07:08 PM ||

Well, US as a whole is hostile to it's own corporations more often than not. Every time laws are passed to "help" our companies, it ends up doing more harm than good.

EXAMPLE: Tariffs on motor vehicles

Short term benefit: Import vehicles cost as much as american models, american vehicles are competitive.

Long term negative: Import vehicles increase in quality at a drastic rate to remain competitive, american vehicles stagnate.

Once you factor in the cost of the beurocracy, the whole deal begins to turn sour.

|| Posted by Yogimus, May 18, 2005 06:35 PM ||

So... because American companies don't make cars as well as Toyota, it's the governments fault?? Or is it that Toyota made their cars better because of the American Government?

In any event, most foriegn car companies, as far as I know, have found a way to avoid any tarrifs... they moved to the US...

What about corporate welfare? The Cato Institute has a whole site dedicated to this. Find it at the Cato Handbook for Congress.

I also always find Smedley Butler's take on things interesting.

|| Posted by scroff, May 18, 2005 09:17 PM ||

"""American companies don't make cars as well as Toyota, it's the governments fault?? Or is it that Toyota made their cars better because of the American Government?"""

The american companies lobbied to be shielded from international markets. They then failed to evolve. The lack of healthy competition prevented the evolution of the market.

What about corporate welfare? Cease all public funding for ALL companies. End of story. Sink or swim. (But what of the airlines?) the airlines will liquidate their assets, and new companies can form.

End of a Family Gathering

Well this is gonna suck.

USS Enterprise NX-01 On one hand, I'm sooooo looking forward to watching the two episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise tonight. The episodes are getting better and better.

On the other hand, I'm dreading it because these two episodes tonight will be the last.

I'm really, really, really hoping that the Sci Fi Channel is quietly working on picking the series up and saving it. While I cannot speak for all Star Trek fans, I'm just wondering if the Sci Fi Channel will make the smart move and pick it up....considering that their main audience is science fiction geeks like myself.

This is just pain gonna suck. Hell, even my kid is bummed about it and she's hardly a sci fi geek (although I'm working on converting her....[/evil laugh]).

It's like someone is taking a part of my family life away. I say this cause Friday nights we all gather around the tube and watch four hours of sci fi shows: Enterprise, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica, and then the evening repeat of Stargate SG-1.

Crew of USS Enterprise NX-01 It's almost un-American to take away ANY version of Star Trek....and no, there's no blaming President Bush or any Republicans for this - it's the Hollyweird weinies that pulled the plug.

I Don't Think So Tim

Stand down? I don't think so Tim:

Border Patrol told to stand down in Arizona

U.S. Border Patrol agents have been ordered not to arrest illegal aliens along the section of the Arizona border where protesters patrolled last month because an increase in apprehensions there would prove the effectiveness of Minuteman volunteers, The Washington Times has learned.

More than a dozen agents, all of whom asked not to be identified for fear of retribution, said orders relayed by Border Patrol supervisors at the Naco, Ariz., station made it clear that arrests were "not to go up" along the 23-mile section of border that the volunteers monitored to protest illegal immigration.

"It was clear to everyone here what was being said and why," said one veteran agent. "The apprehensions were not to increase after the Minuteman volunteers left. It was as simple as that."

Another agent said the Naco supervisors "were clear in their intention" to keep new arrests to an "absolute minimum" to offset the effect of the Minuteman vigil, adding that patrols along the border have been severely limited.

You know, this sucks. I'm talking about porn-star quality sucking....golf-ball-through-a-garden-hose sucking magnitude.

WTF is it going to take for people in the government to do their job in spite of the *cough* political ramifications? I'm starting to run into crap like this where I work and although I've been able to duck-and-weave to avoid this crap, it really rubs me raw.

I've always thought that working in government was a nice thing - working for the betterment (is that a word?) of the nation and making a living at it at the same time. I'm guessing I'm (gulp!) in the minority here.

And it's sad to say that dispite my best hopes of people 'shining through' and working to better America, that even the Republican leadership and the party are starting to become IMHO no better than the Democrats.

I know I cannot speak for others here in the blogsphere, but this situation - the several lack of doing squat about illegal ~~immigrants~~ aliens - is causing me to take stock of my political standings....and where those standings dictate whom I vote for.

Washington: HINT-HINT-HINT!!

Does this mean I'm becoming a stark-raving mad moonbat?? Aw fu*k no - it just means that I'm attempting to send a CLEAR MESSAGE to the GOP and it's players: get your shit wired and fix this now!

40 Minutes

40 minutes.

That's all it took to rub Pablo's *patooey* nose in the crap he's created:

Military judge convicts sailor who refused to deploy

SAN DIEGO - A military judge today convicted a Navy sailor of one count for missing his ship's movement when he refused to board the USS Bonhomme Richard as it deployed to the Persian Gulf in December.

The judge, Lieutenant Commander Bob Klant deliberated about 40 minutes before finding Petty Officer Third Class Pablo Paredes guilty of the charge. He dismissed a second count of unauthorized absence, ruling the charge was duplicative.

Paredes stood at attention as the judge read the sentence, following the day's court-martial proceeding. The trial is now in the sentencing phase.

Paredes, a 23-year-old from the New York City borough of the Bronx, could receive a year in jail, a forfeiture of pay, reduction in rank and a bad-conduct discharge.

Pity that the judge dismissed the second change - Unauthorized Absence - but at least the convicion was swift.

Pablo *patooey* will now face the sentencing phase of the court martial and the time in the brig followed by the inability to get a job outside of Burger King or the *cough* anti-war movement where he might continue to be a whiny-ass punk...

UPDATE: I was talking with the wife about this last night and she pretty much suggested exactly what Gordon said in comments:

Send him non-rated to the Carrier, stripped of all rank and clearances, most of his pay, and put him on the CHT Team.

And while I've been a big proponant of this punk getting his head squished by the Navy, but this would be infinitely better: make him suffer on the boat....

UPDATE: Pablo *patooey* was reduced in rank to E-1 and was sentenced to three months hard labor.

Pitiful, but at least he got something.....selfish piece of sh!t.

Insults with Care in Them

Best drop-dead Hiroshima insult line from a recent movie - this case 'Blade: Trinity'

Hannibal King facing his old vampire girlfriend Hannibal King (Ryan Reynolds), who is a former vampire is captured by vampires from his old 'clan' and is confronted by his former mentor Danica Talos (Parker Posey).

Danica threatens to re-make him a vampire and leave a little firl in the room with him until he succumbs to the thirst for blood - obviously a ploy to get him to reveal information about his friends.

His most excellent retort that I've heard in a long time delivered in a thundering voice that conveys metric tons of contempt: 'You cock juggling thunder-cunt!'

I almost coughed up a lung cause I was laughing so hard....

Nobody's Home Dumbass

I'm sitting here in the Sun God Lounge at school, reading the news and blogs in my links section and I start to here a cell phone ring.

Like practically everyone on the planet, I stop what I'm doing for a second and reach for my cell on my belt and as soon as I reach it, I realize that it's not my phone.

Okay - not mine.....who's is it?

It's sitting in a backpack about 15 feet from me at another computer station here in the lounge.

R-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-i-i-i-i-n-n-n-n-n-n-g-g-g-g-g-g-g!!!
R-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-i-i-i-i-n-n-n-n-n-n-g-g-g-g-g-g-g!!!
R-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-i-i-i-i-n-n-n-n-n-n-g-g-g-g-g-g-g!!!

After about the 2oth ring, I'm wondering if the owner will suddently rush up to answer it.

Oh hell no - they're no where in sight.

R-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-i-i-i-i-n-n-n-n-n-n-g-g-g-g-g-g-g!!!
R-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-i-i-i-i-n-n-n-n-n-n-g-g-g-g-g-g-g!!!
R-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-i-i-i-i-n-n-n-n-n-n-g-g-g-g-g-g-g!!!

The freakin phone rings constantly for about 2 minutes and I'm wondering does the caller know that there's no one home??

Apparently the caller is a retard and is convinced that their call will draw their intended recipient from anywhere in the world.

Can people really be that stupid to think that if their call isn't picked up in three to five rings that letting it continue for THREE MINUTES will make any difference!?

It's a freakin miracle that humans survived being eaten by dinosaurs.....

Guide to Blogging

John Hawkins at Right Wing News has always been my guide in the do's and dont's of blogging. He has updated his infamous guide to new bloggers and here a portion of that guide:

25 Pieces Of Advice For Bloggers
It's tempting -- even for me -- to get frustrated when some of the bigger bloggers don't link. But, don't let it get to you. Anybody with a big blog is busy and it's likely not personal if they don't link you.

Keep in mind that even if you get a link from a big website, the overwhelming majority of those readers won't be back. So although there are exceptions, don't expect to make it big off of 1 or 2 posts.

If you're going to be putting up multiple posts and then not posting for a while, put the best post on top. The number of readers drops significantly the further they have to go down the page.

On the week-ends, expect your traffic to drop by roughly 40% whether you post or not.

If you're going to send a promotional email out to other bloggers, make sure it's something worth promoting and try to keep it down to once or twice per week if possible. Send too many emails or promote posts of low quality and other bloggers will tune you out.

Find ways to link to other blogs -- a lot. It's flattering to the blogger being linked and it may draw their attention to what you're writing. Of course, that means they may link you back.

And after looking at his new guide, I can say that almost most of these ideas are ones that I already follow - especially the 'dedication to posting', i.e., I post (or try to anyways) almost everyday.

And I'm hoping that John will follow-through on Point #1 and acknowledge my presence in the blogsphere....along with Michelle Malkin.[/kidding]

VE-Day 60 Years Later

There are lots of other bloggers - bigger, better, and with more daily readers - that have talked about the 60th anniversary of the end of combat operations in Europe at the end of World War II and they've done a better job than I probably could.

My blurb on this anniversary: we kicked their ass and occupied their land to rebuild it since we kick the living crap out of Germany. We came, we saw, we kicked ass.

Period.

And now....there's a greater Europe - now called the European Union - that thinks the United States is out to colonize the world with our 'aggression' et al...that is if you believe the *cough* MSM and what European polls indicate about the eurotrash says.

Damn.....do you we have to kick their asses again to show that we're not looking to expand the 'sphere of influence' in the name of protecting our nation?

Sure as hell seems like it at times....you'd think that they'd try to remember history - especially considering that one nation in particular started TWO world wars in the 20th century and it was the U.S. that came in to make it all better - and at least be semi-grateful about it.

Well, it's a nice thought, huh?

Comments on VE-Day 60 Years Later

The Euro-weenies need someone to blame their fecklessness and flaccidity on, Mike. If they were men enough to admit that they've painted themselves into a corner with their embrace of the super-welfare-state and their cultural surrender to an invading horde of Muslims, they'd never have reached this sorry state.

Only the Anglosphere counts for anything today.

|| Posted by Francis W. Porretto, May 9, 2005 02:48 PM ||

Wow. You display a wonderful understanding not only of European History over the last 60 years, but current European economic and political policy.

Just stop now.

PS: I think you mean "The SOVIETS came, saw and kicked ass." just a thought.

|| Posted by Blackglasses, May 10, 2005 09:17 AM ||

Blackglasses,

The Soviets were allied to the Nazis by non-agression pact, invading Poland from the east in 1939, until the Barbarossa invasion of 1941.

After that, Uncle Joe screamed bloody murder for the British and Americans to open a second front.

Try reading or watching Stephen Ambrose's "Band of Brothers" and then claim that Mikey's mistaken.

Just a thought.

|| Posted by Scott Crawford, May 10, 2005 10:22 AM ||

I can make that claim even after still reading the book and watching the (very good) miniseries.

The grand majority of Axis matereal and manpower losses took places on the Eastern front as a direct result of the Red Army's actions. The Soviet death toll (roughly 10 million combat troops and 20 million civilians and partisians) speaks volumes towards that. The majority of Waffen SS losses (elite combat divisions) and Axis armored lossed took place on the Eastern front. For the most part, the Axis was evicerated by the time of the Normandy landings, meaning that the resistance the Allies faced as the closed in from France and Italy was considerably less that the Red Army would have faced at say, Kursk or Stalingrad.

The Americans, Canadians and British assisted in this effort via lend-lease programs and contributed to the defeat of Nazi Germany. But it is entirely possible that the Soviet Union could have done it on its own at a tremendous cost to both Western, Central and Eastern Europe.

Stalin was a bad guy, but under his leadership the Soviets hammered the Nazis.

Just a thought

|| Posted by Blackglasses, May 10, 2005 03:42 PM ||

Also, as an afterthought, I should mention that about 2/3 of the European Union signed onto "Operation Iraqi Freedom".

Take that statement any which way you please.

|| Posted by Blackglasses, May 10, 2005 03:44 PM ||

Gordon has the point as always....

As for Yogimus' statement, I will be honest and say that I wasn't aware of a *cough* insurgency in Germany following the unconditional surrender.

[/hiding head in shame]

However, the point of the post was to mark the anniversary of the end of the war in Europe and how....how it doesn't seem to matter to many, especially some segments of the eurotrash society.

And while he didn't serve in the ETO, my father was part of that great armada that kicked the shit out of the evil of the early 20th century and he and MANY veterans of WWII rate being honored for their sacrifices.

So if you'll all give me the privilidge of saying 'Europe.....Schmuuurope: they're ungreatful bastards'.

|| Posted by Mad Mikey, May 11, 2005 07:58 AM ||

Hahahahahahaha.

It's sad though. People like Gord and mikey are now the dominant voice in American political discourse, facts and history be damned.

You're one of those stupid people who masterbates over pictures of guns, aren't you?

|| Posted by Blackglasses, May 11, 2005 08:02 PM ||

Most of the insurgency was in the eastern bloc countries. Poland, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Romania, and the Chechoslovakians each had their own revolutions. The hungarian revolution of 56 being a major example. it capped 11 years of violent resistance.

Is reading comprehnsion you Achilles Heel or are you just avoiding the questions you can't answer because you're full of shit? Answer the question, troll.

|| Posted by Gordon the Magnificnet, May 12, 2005 02:11 AM ||

Yogimus: Hahahahaha. nice point. As to the insurgency idea, i'm not disagreeing with you there at all. With any occupying county taking over there will be a resistance movement, although the motivations for each revolution wildly varied. The Hungarian revolution may have been a result of intraparty fighting and reform Hungarinan communism(there is no consensus)-not directly a result of a desire to defeat the USSR> Czechs and Slovaks revolted in '68 as a direct result of the desire to reform the system in their country ("Soc*i*alism** with a human face"). Poland and Romanian and other eastern revolutions are so far removed from the events of WWII (save Soviet occupation) that their motivations from revoultion have no bearing on this discussion

But that is besides the point: we're talking about WWII here. All i said was that the Soviets were the ones who did most of th work in defeating the Axis powers- which is true.

As for Gord: Whoa nelly.

I came here rationally discussing an issue and looking for debate. I'm not too sure what your point is, since you're just making (sad) attempts at insulting me without contributing to the conversation. I responded with facts , history and an informed opinion that went beyond "USA USA", you're the nutball troll here. Yes you. You. You. You. You.

And you must be a very insecure little dicked gun owner (close to the mark i'd guess from your website- I suspect that you say it's for "Home Defense" and not making up for a certain...uh..."shortcoming") for me to set you off so much by saying so "little".

Let's go further into the maelstrom:

I think that President George W. Bush is a poor leader. Not only since he is totally uninsipring as a military a political leader, but he has shown a level of complete inepitude in getting his agenda pushed though, even with his majority in both houses.*

*Unless he's "starving the beast" with his social and fiscal policies...in which case he's doing it.

THAT'S GONNA START SOMETHING!

Bullshit. You came here slinging shit alongside your opinions and now you cry when someone smacks back? Boo hoo, you whiny bitch.

And you must be a very insecure little dicked gun owner (close to the mark i'd guess from your website- I suspect that you say it's for "Home Defense". I suspect that you say it's for "Home Defense" and not making up for a certain...uh..."shortcoming")

Here's another example of you laying out the "facts". Those were Geoff's posts, not mine. Although I'm not sure how owning a firearm makes someone insecure or little dicked. What's your fascination with little dicks anyhow? Funny, you took the time to read the blog but didn't have the sack to drop your opinion.

How's this related to the topic, cunthead?

THAT'S GONNA START SOMETHING!

Start what? All you've accomplished is a trollish attempt to shift topics and dodge my original question. See Backgas, you'e just a troll - that's all. Thanks for showing everyone.

What ho? "The Superior Arguer and Moral High Ground Tactic" argument?

That was easy.

Note how i responded to civil responses in kind and to yours in a...similar...tone of voice.

|| Posted by Blackglasses, May 12, 2005 10:30 AM ||

All I noticed was you exposing yourself for a troll. Not that I care, I'm just having a blast rubbing your nose in dog shit.

|| Posted by Gordon the Magnificent, May 12, 2005 11:33 AM ||

You resemble many other "troll fighters" i have found on the internet, who act from a position of "moral superiority" while defending their friend's websites, yet, in the (badly mangled) words of Nietzsche, when fighting these monsters, you stare further and further into the abyss, not realizing that you are becoming what you purport to despise. I thought trolls came around looking for fights and derail the conversation into endless flamewars.

Strangely, that is exactly what you have done in the face of my superior argument and reasoning skills.

Discuss.

"It's sad though. People like Gord and mikey are now the dominant voice in American political discourse, facts and history be damned."

Well, you're right about something for once. Now trot along troll boy, grab a wetnap, and wipe that shit off your nose.

|| Posted by Gordon the Magnificent, May 12, 2005 12:39 PM ||

You're one of those stupid people who masterbates over pictures of guns, aren't you?

Nope, that's me.

Europe? Europe who?

Guys, do me a favor: click on some of those ads on the left-hand side - Mikey's needs to get T-shirts to annoy liberals on campus (kidney failure doesn't pay like the brochure said it would....)

False. He IS an inspiring military leader, at least according to the military.

True. He FAILED to smack the dems to the ground over stupid shit and obstructionism.

MM, you got a post on yer scenario, so I can read up on the history?

It's generally something I didn't shout from the rooftops over at ASD.

I posted about it back in January.

|| Posted by Mad Mikey, May 14, 2005 04:05 PM ||

Wow. You jsut kept bashing your heads together without me doing ANYTHING.

Last Word.

No you don't twerp - you still have yet to prove anything.

Nice try. *I* win.

I think the last time Blackglass got a piece of ass was when his finger broke through the toilet paper

Ahh, yes, brilliant comment.

Asshole.

|| Posted by scroff, May 15, 2005 11:42 AM ||

Huh? I proved many things with my posts. I just didn't write "USA USA USA" and "HAHAHAH YOU SUX"

This "exchange" illustrates a major problem with America.Bluster and idiocy is mistaken for discourse.

Shame.

Also: is there one guy like Gord on every right wing blog? The posts are almost identically, and they go off on tangents without any provocation. It's quite dull and predictable. I guess this is what happens when people do nothing but read right wing blogs and military history. Theit sense of creativity is totally crushed.

Read something. Please.
