All About typhoid

Better than a bullet, I dare say:

Persons with typhoid fever carry the bacteria in their bloodstream and intestinal tract...Both ill persons and carriers shed S. Typhi in their feces (stool).
.

.
You can get typhoid fever if you eat food or drink beverages that have been handled by a person who is shedding S. Typhi or if sewage contaminated with S. Typhi bacteria gets into the water you use for drinking or washing food. Therefore, typhoid fever is more common in areas of the world where handwashing is less frequent and water is likely to be contaminated with sewage.

And:

Persons with typhoid fever usually have a sustained fever as high as 103° to 104° F (39° to 40° C). They may also feel weak, or have stomach pains, headache, or loss of appetite. In some cases, patients have a rash of flat, rose-colored spots.

The world's premier Jihadist, stricken by an encounter with someone else's crap and martyred by a dearth of Ciproflaxin?

Next stop? Hell.

Is Osama really dead???

The notion is gaining steam out there.

Somewhere, a media whore weeps.

It's unsubstantiated, but....

It brings me hope.

PARIS (AP) - The head of terrorist network al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, has died, according to information from the Saudi police, transmitted by the Directorate-General of External Services (DGSE), and reported on the Lorraine daily newspaper L'Est republicain in its Saturday edition.

"According to a commonly reliable source, the Saudi police believes that Osama Bin Laden has died," said a September 21st confidential note from the DGSE classified as "defense." L'Est republicain will publish it in its Saturday edition. The note, specified the daily newspaper, would be re-printed "un-edited."

Now, until we see his body, I won't entirely believe any story about bin Laden's demise. However, I still want a chance to piss on his grave, so I'm keeping my eye on this story. I'll be following it. And if it's true, I hope he died in the most painful way possible.

Only in America

Can a communist clusterfuck dictator and an insane Islamonazi dickhead come together and get a round of applause from other petty kleptocrats, theocrats, thugs and other scum, all paid for by YOUR TAX DOLLARS.

Ain't the UN great? Where else can people get together and work to oppose the USA in every action in a building supplied by the USA? On American soil?

Again, I reiterate my previous statements. Ensure that key UN personnel are in the UN Building. Then bar the damn doors and demolish that fucking cesspool. There's enough filth in America as it is. We don't need foriegn filth as well.

Ah hell, who fricking CARES?!?!?!

So George Allen's mother was "Jewish", even though she was raised as a Christian. Call me crazy, but if she was raised as a Christian then she's a rather piss-poor Jew, ya know? But WHO THE HELL CARES?!?!?!

I guess the Dimocrats do. You know, for a group of people who claim that they're all about acceptance and diversity, I've never seen a group more stuck on identity politics to the point of digging into a persons background just to find out if they have any Jewish blood. What's next? Black uniforms and jackboots? Making Allen wear a yellow star? "You must admit zat you haf de blood of de judenrein, ja?"

For those keeping score, the Republicans don't give a shit what your background is. We've got everyone from Bobby Jindal (Indian), to Micheal Steele (Black), to Larry Craig (White) and everyone in between. The common factor is how they think, not how they look.

That doesn't fly with the Dimocrats. To them it's how you look, so long as you stay on the plantation and follow the party line. God, they disgust me. I think we need to hang this facination with bloodlines around their necks for the next two months.

Remember this guy?

He was the guy who said his dead mom called him for three days from a nursing home that had been underwater for, well, three days.

"When ya comin' to get me son?!?"

The owners of the nursing home where she drowned have finally been indicted.

"Heh"

Day off? What day off?

I was supposed to have a day off today. I mean, after getting pneumonia, and then busting ass for Annual Training, then drill over the weekend, my training NCO decided that I needed a day to myself.

The best laid plans of mice and men.......

Last week, a retired colonel died. Natural causes, from what I was told. Not expected, but not completely unexpected either. Anyways, due to the personnel that were on funeral detail duty (they switch out the duty between units every three months) the colonel's family was told that they would only have a two man detail for the funeral.

Now, I won't go in to what I think of the unit that currently is supposed to be doing the funeral details. I won't go in to how I think that unit needs to be disbanded as soon as possible. I won't go in to their parentage, or lack thereof, nor discuss what I think they do with barnyard animals.. But when a man has given decades of his life to the military, including going to war, not having a full funeral detail is an insult.

In any case, I received a phone call early this morning from my training NCO, who stated, "Dave, are your Greens ready? Because you need to be in them at 0930 at this location for funeral detail."

Now, I won't say that I was thrilled to do this on my day off, especially when I was woken up way to early in the morning. However, I was not about to let a soldier take his final journey without full honors. So, into my Greens I went. The put me on the firing squad today. The family did a double take when they saw us, since they only expected two troops. We managed to pull together a full funeral detail in less than a couple of hours, and we buried that colonel with full honors. It's the sort of thing that makes you proud to wear the uniform, and of the history and tradition behind it. And despite the joking that goes on between soldiers at a funeral (we do have a dark sense of humor at times) there is a solemnity that is inescapable.

If you have never been to a military funeral, then take my word for it: a twenty-one gun salute is the second most final sound you will ever hear in your life. A bugler playing Taps would be the first.

So I didn't get a day off. I think it was worth it.

But remember...

According to the worthless communist clusterfucks, they support the troops.

Ahem.

BULLSHIT!

Don't show this to any Dimocrats!

Otherwise, they'll just KNOW that it's torture and put a stop to it! And won't the Japanese be pissed!

Personally, I'd love to do this to the Dimocrats, with a simple question: Do you support the war in Iraq? A response of "no", and WHACK! But then, in order for that to be painful, we would have to find a Dimocrat with actual balls, and that's like finding Santa Claus. We all heard about 'im, but we ain't never seen the real thing.

They just don't exist, folks.

If you read anything today

Go read this.

And understand that Socialism is nothing more than Communism that hasn't fully matured yet.

Are you ready to vomit?

Then go read this.

The politically correct regulations are unbelievable. Detainees are entitled to a full eight hours sleep and can't be woken up for interrogations. They enjoy three meals and five prayers per day, without interruption. They are entitled to a minimum of two hours of outdoor recreation per day.

Interrogations are limited to four hours, usually running two - and (of course) are interrupted for prayers. One interrogator actually bakes cookies for detainees, while another serves them Subway or McDonald's sandwiches. Both are available on base. (Filet o' Fish is an al Qaeda favorite.)

Interrogations are not video or audio taped, perhaps to preserve detainee privacy.

Read that again. If one of these asscannons admits to planning the 9-11 attacks, we won't have it on tape because we're too fucking concerned ABOUT THESE SHITWEASEL'S FUCKING PRIVACY!

And they can make weapons from almost anything. Guards have been attacked with springs taken from inside faucets, broken fluorescent light bulbs and fan blades. Some are more elaborate. "These folks are MacGyvers," Harris said.

Other cells pass messages from leaders in one camp to followers in others. How? Detainees use the envelopes sent to them by their attorneys to pass messages. (Some 1,000 lawyers represent 440 prisoners, all on a pro bono basis, with more than 18,500 letters in and out of Gitmo in the past year.) Guards are not allowed to look inside these envelopes because of "attorney-client privilege" - even if they know the document inside is an Arabic-language note written by a prisoner to another prisoner and not a letter to or from a lawyer.

That's right: Accidentally or not, American lawyers are helping al Qaeda prisoners continue to plot.

Another reason to kill all lawyers. What kind of cesspool dwelling subhuman shitbag would give up his time and money to defend a terrorist?

And they wonder why we question their patriotism?

Go read the article. Hell, print it out and carry it with you. That way, when some retarded fucking assmonkey tries to talk about how we "torture" the terrorists at Gitmo, you take the printout and shove it down their fucking throat until they choke to death on it. You want torture? I'll give you torture, you worthless shitstain.

Every congresscritter whining about "torture" in Gitmo needs to be fired. Republican, Democrat, it doesn't matter. FIRED! Kiss my ass, McCain. And kiss my ass, all you terrorist coddling Dimocrats. I hope every one of you has a personal run-in with a terrorist, who laughs while he saws your head off with a dull knife. Is that wrong? Too damn bad. The Dimocrats and the RINO's who agree with them are making this country less safe, thereby making my family less safe. And for that, I will work until my dying day to ensure they have nothing but failure and misery to deal with. Whining, sniveling, cringing, surrendermonkeys!

Why I'm not read more

Let's just say that I'm a little blunt and outspoken on a few things. Or, to give you a better example, you could read my little rant on the Islamofacists down below, and then compare it to Captain Ed's letter to Pope Benedict.

If Islam is ever to peacefully co-exist with other faiths in the manner that Christendom finally learned how to do, then it has to start abiding questions and criticisms without resorting to violence. Islam has to learn to persuade and to attract people through reason, not through forced conversions and coexistence through violent supremacy. Muslim leaders around the world still believe that our faith can only exist at their sufferance, and any question of their doctrinal beliefs has to be met with violence or demands for apologies, not with rhetoric, facts, and reason.

We cannot enable that to continue. We must demand that they renounce violence and intimidation. When you apologize and retreat, they understand that as a triumph for their religion, a victory won with force and threats rather than through intellectual engagement. This encourages more of the same. The West had the opportunity to stand up to the same angry hordes earlier this year during the controversy over the Danish editorial cartoons that depicted Mohammed, and many of us gave into the threats and violence rather than stand up for the freedom of speech, religious practice, and editorial commentary. In both cases, Muslims ironically proved the point of the criticism leveled at them.

Do not apologize for speaking the truth. Stand up to the threats and violence and make the world understand that no one of any faith or of no faith at all has to be cowed or intimidated into silence. Your predecessor, John Paul the Great, risked his life by providing a beacon of courage against the might and will of Communism, and he outlived it in the end. We won't outlive the violent nature of radical Islam, but we can provide the basis for Christianity's survival by standing against it now.

He says it quite nicely, and without the screaming.
