Mass Murder Plot Stopped Cold
Very close call:
Damn glad someone was on top of this one....UPDATE: Moxie points out someone who obviously sees the humor in this situation:
Without sounding like a clichè, I can say from experience that this is the way to deal with 'bad news'. Read More of "Mass Murder Plot Stopped Cold"Seriously - how else could I deal with the crap that I have to deal with and not get severely bummed out? I try to find the 'good' things in a bad situation.
Case in point:
Doctor: Hey Mikey, you've got a kidney disease and you're gonna have to start doing hemodialysis.
Mikey: Really? That means I get a handicap parking permit!! W00t!
Now I have to inject a little reality: it doesn't always work. That is to say that I'm not necessarily perky all the time. I've just come to realize that given my medical condition I have two choices (and I think I might have talked about this before so bear with me if I have):
- Be upset, get miserable, and just basically be one of those cranky, sick people that whine about their pain(s) all the time, or
- Try to make the best of it and not to dwell on my condition for too long on any given day.
And do you know why?Because in either case, I'm still stuck being sick and having to deal with it. And being miserable and whining about being sick gets old.
Anyways......the stuff from Moxie is still giving me a serious chuckle.....
All done with "Mass Murder Plot Stopped Cold"?

|| Posted by Gracie, August 9, 2006 01:22 PM ||Careful, Mikey, the Fat Police are sucking you in (those that want to tell us what and how to eat "for our own good"). Here's how they came up with their numbers.
A can of Pepsi has about 150 calories. Times 365 days equals 54,750 calories. A pound of fat has about 3,500 calories. 54,750 divided by 3,500 is about 15.
It's a scare tactic. If you're a totally sedentary slob, you'll put on 15 lbs a year.
However, Dr. David Ludwig, director of the obesity program at Children's Hospital in Boston and a longtime advocate of curbs on soda, said blaming other factors misses the point.
Who the hell is he to tell me what I can or cannot consume? He wants me to "curb" my intake of soda? Kiss my ass.
These Fat Police have to have a target. Instead of saying, "if you eat as few as 150 calories more a day than you burn off - each and every day for a year - you will gain 15 lbs", they come up with the evil "soda-a-day".
Cigarettes. Super-size. Sodas in schools. Now, sodas ANYWHERE.
|| Posted by The Other Mike S, August 9, 2006 02:44 PM ||Other Mikey...
I'm totally behind your reasoning and your argument, but from personal experience; I cut the can of Mt Dew a day out of my diet and lost the 15 lbs I had gained after I quit smoking.
I agree with you though, this guy has an agenda.
|| Posted by Rob@L&R, August 10, 2006 03:30 AM ||I agree with Rob@L&R.
I too have lost signifigant weight by taking soda out of my diet. (Ive also gained it back by adding soda back into my diet :) )
Its not just the calories that work agaisnt you with soda, its the content.
There is a huge amount of suger in that stuff. Ive forgotten the details, but adding all that suger into your system really screws up the way that your body processes the suger it already has.
|| Posted by I_love_slurm, August 10, 2006 08:35 AM ||I switched from drinking soft drinks to cranberry juice cocktail (Hey! The stuff is supposed to be good for ya, Right!?) and started piling on the pounds. When I looked at the ingredients it had even more sugar than soda! Now I drink green tea with 1 tbs of honey per coffeepot full. I'd still like to lose a few but I'm back into a 34" waist instead of 36".

It isn't working out too well in that arena.
There is lots happening to me (other than being in the hospital) and when I can think of a way to write about it without it sounding like I'm whining, then I post something about it. But I'll give you a hint: bills suck.

Feh
UPDATE: Moved back to the top and comments reopened due to popular demand.
Not really in the mood to blog about much of anything.....
Been watching the news to see if there was any change(s) in the Israeli-Hezbollah fracus: only that Israel is starting to get serious. And watching the world's leaders wring their hands over this and having nothing substantial to say except "We need a cease-fire!!".
Sure......just like the last one that allowed Hezbollah to re-arm itself in southern Lebanon.
UPDATE: Okay, these two items still aren't 'blog-worthy', but I have to ask.....why are they even in the news?
Lance Bass of 'N Sync reveals he is gay.

Anyone calling for a cease-fire at this point is an idiot. Terrorists don't do cease-fires. They will just use it as an opportunity to re-arm.
|| Posted by dr. jeff, July 26, 2006 12:59 PM ||Yes, God forbid everyone put down the weapons and try to figure out what each other wants. Kill kill kill. That sure as hell has worked thus far over the past 3000 years hasn't it.

|| Posted by nunya, July 27, 2006 04:39 PM ||Nunya,
Respectfully, in order for folks to figure out what the other side wants, one needs to have a modicom of respect for the other side AND be honest. They further need to adhere to their word and to the terms that they agree to. Somehow, I'm not seeing any of these things happen.
Hezbollah has been fairly clear on what they want...entire annihilation of Israel. They want "the Jews" dead. Somehow, I think that having a conversation with someone who wants you and your people to be wiped from the planet may not elicit much progress. Call me a skeptic...
|| Posted by Gracie, July 28, 2006 09:51 AM ||If Hezbollah put down their weapons, there would be peace.

Yes, they are. Lying about it under oath isn't. A tiny difference there...
|| Posted by Gracie, July 28, 2006 02:08 PM ||Gracie,,
And lying about that blow job is NOT a national security risk either.
And Rob, fuck you and your service. If your attitude is kill kill kill, then you are no better than gang banging thug, so you can take THAT service and shove it up YOUR ass. (Sorry Mikey, I will NOT be talked to like that for excercising my freedom of speech).
And how does everyone here all of a sudden become an expert on what either side wants? Becaue Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter and Fox News told you so? Come on, as I have been sayingg all along, none of this is that black and white. There are no good guys and bad guys here. Both sides are wrong. For well over 50 year, since plopping a country smack dab in the middle of another country without ANY type of compormise, this has been the issue. Think about it - if somone came to your backyard and said "i think this is a good place for a new house" and not pay you damn thing and then push you out, how would you feel? That is essentially what the US did when Truman signed the bill to recognize Israel as a state. Decade after decade, we have done nothing other than bolster that poisition and continue to create a gap and divide between as and the Arab world. And yet we expect them to be civil? I know I wouldn't be. Give me enough time and I guess I would turn into a psychopath myself given that situation.
So you see, more violence will only fuel the movement. So yes, I think the right track would be to sit down with EVERYONE and see what they all want.
Give Gaza back, give the wet bank back. Recognize Palestine as a state. Help them fight the extremists within their own borders (of course Syria gets ourr of Lebanon annd Lebanon sets up a democracy and Palestine elects Abbbas who was willing to work with the West and we STILL did not help them financially - in the past year BILLIONS has been given to Israel were a mere few million has been given to Lebanon - disproprotionism begets desperation). If they attack Israel, then green light Israel to destroy them.
And for you war mongering assholes, tuck the cock backbetween your legs and do the world a favoor and drive your hummers filled with your entire gun collection off a fucking cliff.

The first one listed - COMBAT ACTION RIBBON
"is awarded to members of the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard for combat action service. The principal requirement is that the personnel must have been in a ground or surface combat fire-fight, or action during which they were under enemy fire, and that their performance under fire must have been satisfactory."

Which means Hezbollah and Hamas and al Queda must be destroyed, where ever they hide.
Which, like other COWARDS, (we won't name names, but his initials are NUNYA!), those terrorists hide behind children. That's their tactic.
So, the blame for dead children is NOT the IDF or the US GIs.

And yes, I have served. LIke I said, I am not proud of it either because the miliary isn;t here to protect "freedoms" rather it is here to protect business interests. Poor people get to die so people like Kenneth Lay And Jeff Skilling can fuck over rank and file workers and get rich doing it.

And now you sit there crawking like the chickenhawk chickenshit that you are.

I appreciate the thought that the honorbale troops are putting into it even though I think it is a shame they must die for the betterment of big business.

And the term chickenhawk can and does apply to you becaise you aren't the one putting your ass on the line right now. You sit in your house screaming for war but you aren't the one out there in it. Regardless of whether or not you served in combat in the past, it gives you NO RIGHT to be the advocate for war now when it isn;t you or your loved ones who are out there dying for an unjust cause.
|| Posted by nunya, August 1, 2006 08:28 AM ||I started the personal attacks?

You are severely retarded.
And I never said I DIDN'T have loved ones serving in Iraq, did I?
Did I mention that I do? Did I mention that's how I fucking KNOW that our troops don't target civilians?
You're a fucking moron.

Nowhere in that initial post did I ever call YOU a chickenhawk. You just constrewed is as such and attacked me.
Nowhere have I ever blamed the Jews. I happen to BE jewish you asshole, but that doesn't mean I side with everything the Israelies do. I don't use persecution as a crutch or an excuse to act uncivilized. I don't blame Israel as much as I blame our own government for not having the foresight back in Turman's day to sit down and really think about what they were doing before they decided to plop an entire country down in the middle of someone elses land. Remember, the european jews all returned to the land after the holocaust and claimed it their own by what the bible said. By that logic then, it would be ok for the Native Americans to reclaim all of the land the WASPS took from them back in the 16th century on. The land the jews took for well over an eon was Palestinian land. It didn't belong to them. I equate what America did to that region over there as being no different than some developer coming into my back yard and deciding to build a new house there for someone else and not only not give me a dime, but force me out of my house. Now knowing that Arabs feel a mandate to go to war about everything, America, Europe and Israel didn't seem to give a fuck when they signed the recognition of a Jewish state. What the hell did you expect to happen? Would you walk away with your he4ad down and not say or do a damn thing? Judging by your testosteronial rage and trigger happy neanderthal brain, I would imagine you would act worse then a damn arab terrorist.
That is where you are not getting it. You and people like you see only black and white and not see that everything has shades of gray. I am not a terrorist sympathizer. I see both sides unwilling to be level headed when that is exactly what is needed at a time like this. America HAS the pwer and ability to be the voice of reason here but chooses not to. Why? It has ntohing to do with democracy and everything to do with corporate interests, aka OIL.
I do stand up for what I beleive in. I beleive that this war is wrong. I beleive that sending our young men and women for the money interests of the Carslyle groups is WRONG. I beleive armchair cowardly chickenhawk pricks like you are worse for this country than the welfare sucking convicts MY tax dollars go to pay for. Ibeleive people like you who use their service to their country to act as if you have more rights than everyone. You served your country. Your choice. Thank you. now move along. Firefighters and teachers do a thankless job everyday - they get my respect more than some trigger happy gung ho fool who thinks he is gi fucking joe (rember timothy mcviegh was also a soldier, should we bow down to him too?).
|| Posted by nunya, August 1, 2006 09:49 AM ||I support the troops. I support them getting pulled out of a region we have no business being in. Let the damn arabs kill themselves over God. We let the blacks and hispanics do it in LA, why should we put out fighting americans lives in danger over whose diety's dick is bigger?
Its called plopping a bunch of e100 tanks in ever gas station, mass producing ethonal, retro fitting every damn vehical in this country and becoming independant of OIL.
Now why don't YOU sit down, shut the fuck up and let the free and logical thinkers make the decisions for you. Go find a deer to hunt. Fire your gun, get your hard on, drink your piss beer and leave running the country up to smart people.
That is th last word on this subject because I am tired of arguing with someone who is thickheaded.
I apologize mikey for this thread.

On the website owned by a Navy vet who supports the war.
You shit in someones house, then have the nerve to bitch when someone rightly blames you for the smell.
And, how appropriate for the coward; crawling on your knees, begging for forgiveness.
Aren't you ready-made to be dhimmi?
Who never served.

And your opinion means shit, because...?
|| Posted by Rob@L&R, August 4, 2006 04:10 AM ||You see, nunya kept moving the goalposts on what a ‘chickenhawk’ was.
The standard liberal moron’s definition is anyone who supports a war without ever having been in a war.
Well… I’ve served. In a war.
But then dumb-ass decided that it meant you had to have actually been in combat.
Why don't you come back when you served IN COMBAT and not DURING a period of combat.
No problem… I’m combat-fucking-decorated; my ship has been in combat and I pointed out my ribbons and my DD-214.
But then dickhead decides that, no, you have to be in combat in this conflict, right now.
becaise you aren't the one putting your ass on the line right now
Well, no shit. I bet if I had told him I was in a forward-deployed unit in Iraq, right now, dick would say that I need to have bullets whizzing over my fucking head as I’m pressing the POST COMMENT button.
Well, that’s just plain fucking horseshit
|| Posted by Rob@L&R, August 4, 2006 04:17 AM ||Rob, it's clear to anyone with an IQ above room temp that you scored with every post and NUNYA simply stuck his head further up his ass every time he posted. But you know it's a waste of time trying to talk to loony lefties - they're ignorant by choice. A read of any of NUNYA's posts confirms this. From one who served to another, thanks for serving!
|| Posted by GREG, August 6, 2006 09:35 AM ||Rob, you are such an asshole. Shove your medals right up your ass, no one gives a fuck if youve served or havnt. You have been brainwashed by our government into thinking that everything you do overseas is the correct thing. You are also pretty much saying that if you havnt been in the military, then you dont deserve to be here. Wow, what a great mentality. Im not saying i agree with nunya, im just saying that you are a war mongering asshole, who believes everything the government tells you, and you are completely oblivious to the fact that things can be resolved in other ways. Don't get me wrong, i support the troops, but theres a big difference between supporting them, and supporting the cause.
|| Posted by flipz, August 6, 2006 03:55 PM ||Cut and paste comments that I made at Left & Right:
Isreal was created on land ceded by the British out of the remains of the Ottoman Empire. There was not at the time any country, and indeed very few people (according to Mark Twain) in the area referred to as Palestine. So the charge that one country was “plopped down” in the middle of another is incorrect.
The US did not sign anything that brought Isreal into being. We owned not a square inch of the land in question and so had absolutely no authority whatsoever to create so much as a popcorn fart in the Middle East. The UN signed the charter that created the nation of Isreal. Harry and the boys simply signed the documents establishing diplomatic contact with the new nation of Isreal...just like we did with all the other (mostly Arab) countries that were created out of the former Ottoman Empire by the British.
Be that as it may, the only reason...and I do mean ONLY reason...that Isreal or any other nation, including our own, exists is because their people will stand on it, fight and bleed and if neccesary die for it. When that ceases to be true, the nation in question dies. Alas, Babylon.
As for the chickenhawk comments, call me anything you want. I served, I'm retired after serving 20, that's why I'm not there now, blah blah blah.
Other comments - I am constantly amazed at how many people turn jewish in the middle of an Israel bashing screed...regardless of what your mother told you, violence has solved far more problems than it is given credit for, and might does make right since might wins, and the winners write history, and the losers - well, they get written about...you can be right, but you can be dead right...after serving 20 years I am struck by the absence of knuckle dragging neanderthals actually wearing the uniform, since I am reliably informed by those who know more than I do about more things that all military folks are knuckle dragging neanderthals, and amused that these same folks automatically assume they know what we think (OK gentlemen, what were we taught about ASSUME?) - but hey, at least they Support The Troops!...most of the military folks I have known show a decidedly libertarian bent, although to be fair it's mostly (but not always) right-libertarian...thanks Mikey for opening the comments again.

Holy Cow! I've been gone from here far too long!
Mikey, email me sometime, let me know what the Dr's are tellin ya....
|| Posted by Tetzman, August 7, 2006 10:31 AM ||Larry - I apologiize, but you need a lesson in Middle East history. Palestine WAS a former territory of the Ottoman Empire - the only territory to NOT become a fully independant state. (subsequently, there was no "UN" that wrote up these mandates - it was the League of Nations - more on this later). The Balfour Declaration issues by the British in 1917 was in support of establishing a land IN PALESTINE a national home for the Jewish People. During the years after this mandate there was a massive immigration oof Jews from all over the world, especially from eastern Europe during the persecution. This of course was/is called the Rite of Return in reference to the return of the Jews to their promised land. (now think of how that sounds to a muslim, not that most Bushites care). So all during this time, the Palestinians demanded independence as well and a stop to this immigration en masse. Theye didn't even ask for the enitre land back, just the territories this day in question and of course, their independence. Of course, this quickly gained steam amongst other arab nations because of the perception that it created - this anti-arab pro-jewish western take over. in 1937, this sentimet started leading to terrorism and rebellion. Finally, in 1947 the British gave up and let the UN handle the matter.
This is where it gets very interesting becauuse the UN proposed an actual partitioning of the territory in question - one for the Jews one for the Palestinians. Two INDEPENDANT states. And of course Jerusalem internationalized. Israel at this time, had already built up a large military (with the very generous help of the USA *oil* because we *oil* are so giving *oil* especially after two *oil* world wars *oil* and a stick market *oil* crash.)So in 1948 Israel began its occupation of 77 percent of the Palestinain land. Of course, Truman quickly signed the alternative. (remember that resolution thatnever passed - the USA vetoed it, Israel of course didn;t go for it and guess who else vetoed it - the UK) All during tis time HALF of the palestinians fled to neighboring countries and of course the other areas not occupied. (I guess you can say they tried to stand, bleed and even die for a piece of land that nobobdy else would recognize).
Of course, wars, flare ups, etc came up in the decades following. Israel continued to occupy, the PLO, PA, etc. continued to fight with rocks against rockets, etc. We know the whole story from there on but lack serverly in the history of why these people are not only so angry, but why it is so engrained in them. They have had a generation pass for this to become the problem that it hhas become. In essence, we, the west created it.
I am a Jew myself. An American Jew at that buut I can see the wrongs that have been created over the years by the West and Israel. Arabs, while they have been fighting for centuries amonst themselves, didn't overnight cecome terrorists.
Yes, it did take a nation to be "plopped" down in the middle of another's land. That iss EXACTLY what happened.
And look where we are now. So I have to agree taht EVERYONE needs to be brought to the table on this in order to figure out what needs to be done to stop the fighting. If this means the west get out and stop meddling in the affairs of the middle east then yes, that is what we do. We get the oil companies open the vaults, bring the plans out for the hydrogen fuel infrastructure, use our ethanol alerntive during this period of transisition and live peacefully.
|| Posted by Grommit, August 8, 2006 03:36 AM ||IF it is all about the OOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, then why are we backing Israel?
Israel has no oil. It's the only country in the region that doesn't.
So, your little sunshine world of bunnies and alternative fuels ain't gonna make the "Palestinians" stop fighting the Israelis.
|| Posted by Rob@L&R, August 8, 2006 06:31 AM ||Because Israel is the only non-arab pro-west country (created by the west) that allows us to have a "pearch" there. It is a gateway country to the middle east. Think for yourself for a change Rob. You are retired from the military now you said, so now it is time for you to deduct from your own reasoning - yes, time to wipe your own ass for a change, sweety.
|| Posted by Grommit, August 8, 2006 01:34 PM ||You mean "perch" don't you?
perch as in; noun - support consisting of a branch or rod that serves as a resting place (especially for a bird)?
Seems to me that we have a few "pearches" (what a freakin' ASS-KNOB... and you have the nerve to criticize me?) in the area... Turkey... Iraq.
What? You mean we've prevented Saddam from stickin' his beak into this war? And, WHAT? We've created a buffer zone between Iran and Syria, Hezbollah's two ally-states?
Fuck... It's almost as if... dare I say it... there was a STRATEGIC reason to invade Iraq.
Stick that up yer "pearch."
