That sound you hear

Is my head exploding.

BREAKING 7:41PM ET: Fox News Television reports that Barack Obama has issued a demand that the Pentagon reduce its budget by more than 10%. The dollar figure is $55 billion.

President Obama wants to spend a trillion dollars on welfare, condoms, international STD prevention, 600,000 new government jobs and handouts for illegal immigrants... but negative funding for the very mission his Presidential Oath required.

I know I shouldn't be surprised. This is what the Democrat American Communist Party does, every chance it gets. The Left hates the military. They loathe the military. They can't stand it. And so they tear it down at every opportunity. They'll never miss a chance to harm the American military in any way they can.

So now we have a far Left Marxist radical in office, so what the heck do you think will happen? He's going to cut the military. He'll spend billions upon billions of dollars on social welfare and government programs, but he's going to cut the military.

I hope to God that there's a military left after his turn in office.

HEY, HERE'S AN IDEA! Let's start by removing all military support from the Office of the President. AIR FORCE ONE? How much does that cost? Get rid of it. MARINE ONE? How much does that cost? Get rid of it. The salaries and pay for all those military folks that guard the White House? How much do they cost? Get rid of them.

This oxygen thief hates the military. Maybe it's time to show him that the feeling is mutual.

HERE'S ANOTHER THOUGHT: Let's start by shutting down every single base in states controlled by liberal morons. Ft. Dix, NEW JERSEY? Gone. Ft. Drum, NEW YORK? Gone. Ft. Irwin, CALIFORNIA? Gone. Let the military put it's bases where they're appreciated, instead of shitty liberal hellholes. Maybe THAT will save some money.

UPDATE: Cold Fury reminded me of something Kommisar Obama said a while ago:

“You know, I’ve heard from an Army captain who was the head of a rifle platoon supposed to have 39 men in a rifle platoon. Ended up being sent to Afghanistan with 24 because 15 of those soldiers had been sent to Iraq.

And as a consequence, they didn’t have enough ammunition, they didn’t have enough Humvees. They were actually capturing Taliban weapons, because it was easier to get Taliban weapons than it was for them to get properly equipped by our current commander in chief.”

So I guess that statement was just pure political posturing bullshit. Hey, who woulda thunk it, coming from a Democrat American Communist Party member? Yep, the US Military is underfunded according to the Liberal Lord and Messiah (at least it was LAST year!) but now it's cut that funding, baby! I look forward to the days when I'll go out to train and have to yell "BANG BANG" because there's no money for ammunition.

You know, just like the Carter years. And the Clinton years. Hey, am I detecting a pattern here?

Expounding on the post below

Both a commenter and the Ragin' Mrs. mentioned things to me about the post below, and I guess I should at least explain why I'm so ticked off about that CNN article.

I guess the bottom line is that in life, shit happens. Yes, sometimes you can't get a job. The Ragin' Mrs. herself has been on unemployment before we were married. But she was not the main breadwinner. I am. Are there times when you can't get a job at all? Yes, there is. And to be honest, yes, that is what unemployment is for.

But that's not the case in the CNN article. Mr. LeBlanc could have gotten a well paying job on an oil rig. He chose not to do so. And even THAT is fine, because that's his choice. Being around his family is more important to him than making money away from home.

But that was his CHOICE. Meaning, he chose to stay home. Do not whine about it.

He's working as a pizza delivery driver right now. He should have gotten that job BEFORE things were so dire that he had to sell off his "beloved 2003 Kawasaki motorcycle". But from what I read in the article, this guy chose NOT to get a job that was somehow below him. He just kept waiting for the perfect job to come along.

Wrong answer.

One of our buddies in Seattle was working in the computer field, and got laid off in 2001. This guy worked any and every job he could until he could find another job in computers. Two years of selling cell phones, delivering pizzas, jobs that Mr. LeBlanc obviously feels are below him. But my buddy made sure his bills were paid.

Granted, this was in Seattle, where there are a ton of jobs like that to be had - food service, other service industries. But again, from the article, Mr. LeBlanc had job opportunities, he just didn't like them, so he didn't take them.

Wrong answer, folks. Because at that point the economy is not to blame for your financial straits, your CHOICES are.

What pissed me off the most is that this whole sob story resulted from the choices that this guy has made. There are plenty of people out there who are dealing with real hardship. REAL hardship, folks, as in do you pay your mortgage or your food bill, and they're in that position due to no fault of their own.

Mr. LeBlanc just didn't want to be away from home. But he could have gotten a job. And because he chose to sit around and wait for the perfect job to come along, his family is having financial difficulties. And they're crying about it. That doesn't fly with me.

Did I explain why I was pissed well enough, or are things still as clear as mud?

People don't know "hard times"

Tam goes on a slight rant here about an article done by CNN.

Donna LeBlanc gave her husband, a former restaurant manager, the stark ultimatum: become a pizza delivery man or their family "wouldn't make it."

The Lafayette, Louisiana, family of six was struggling with $45,000 of mounting medical debt from Donna LeBlanc's unexpected case of pneumonia and tonsillitis a year earlier. The family savings account had dwindled to $100.

(.....)

Rob LeBlanc filed for unemployment compensation immediately after he lost his job. More than 4.6 million Americans were collecting unemployment benefits as of early January, according to the Labor Department.

In Lafayette, a quiet city of about 114,000 tucked away in southern Louisiana, many of the jobs center around servicing the oil and gas industry, but Rob LeBlanc was unwilling to work offshore and away from his family.

I was having a conversation with my NCOIC the other day, and we've both come to the agreement that people in this country are so fucking spoiled that they don't even know what "HARD TIMES" truly are. This guy could have gotten a job, but HE DID NOT WANT TO. And I'm supposed to feel sympathy for him?

Fuck. That. Noise.

After several weeks of searching, he took the only job he could get -- a Domino's pizza delivery man, a job that would cover the family's expenses.

"I had to swallow my pride and take whatever I could get," Rob LeBlanc says. "I kept telling myself one of these days something better will come along."

Hey fuckernuts - why don't you try WORKING while you wait for that perfect, special job to come along? I swear, is this what America has come to? We've gone from a country where people pulled themselves out of poverty by sheer will alone, and now we're nothing but fat, worthless fucking pasty pansy-assed pieces of wimpy worm-riddled shit who whine and cry about how life is just SO FUCKING UNFAIR.

KISS MY ASS! JUST! KISS! MY! ASS!

When I moved up to Seattle after getting out of the Army, I found a job and honestly thought that I would be working there for at least a few years. Less than a year after I started I got laid off. You know what I did? I FOUND ANOTHER JOB! I was unemployed for less than a month, and thanks to the fact that I had some money in my savings account, I didn't touch a drop of unemployment. To this day, I can say that I've never taken unemployment benefits. Was my new job as fantastic and wonderful as the job I got laid off from? Hell no! But it paid the bills, and by the time I re-enlisted in 2004 I had gotten several raises and was making more money than I ever had in my life!

But that's because I wanted to work and support myself. I had enough pride that I wasn't going to sit around bitching and whining like some worthless fucking retard, waiting and hoping for someone else to hand me my dream job.

Go read the rest of the article. This whining maggot has to sell his motorcycle, BOO FREAKING HOO! The kids don't get allowances? BOO FREAKING HOO! They've had to give up cable and eating out! BOO! FUCKING! HOO!

My wife and I almost NEVER went out to eat in the past four years. When I joined the military, our budget got hit with a double whammy - I made about 10k less per year, and she couldn't get a job in Puerto Rico. You want living lean? WE lived lean. But not only did we not complain, we managed to put a decent amount away in our savings before we left.

I stopped getting an allowance when I was about 11 or 12. So what did I do for money? I mowed lawns. I pruned trees. I pulled weeds. I watched animals for people. I bucked bales of hay. You want a shitty job, Mr. I can't handle getting a real job so I'm going to bitch and whine? GO BUCK 110 POUND BALES OF HAY FOR A WEEK! Anyone who read this blog do that for a while? It's summer time, you're lifting and throwing these bales that weigh anywhere from 65 to 125 pounds, and you've got to wear long-sleeved, heavy duty shirts to keep your arms from getting torn to shreds. It sucks, but it pays. And I did get paid to do it. So I guess that when I was in my teens, I had more fucking balls, pride, and integrity than Mr. LeBlanc does.

Gah. You know what? I'm not in the mood for any kind of sob stories. I've been sick of the sob stories. America is full of sob stories, and people who want to be pitied. Fuck that. Just fuck that straight to hell. I'm sick of pathetic pieces of shit who want pity. I want to be around people who have pride in themselves, and rather than asking for pity they'll pull themselves up and proudly say "Dammit, I'm an American!"

Gah. There goes my blood pressure again.......

Michael Steele the new RNC head

It's not going to make me leap back to the Republican Party, but it's a start. Out with the old Democrat Lite!

Let's hope that Steele has been listening to the former Republican voters.

Side benefit - Watching the Leftoid's heads explode when they continue to claim that the Republican Party is RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACIST, and they have to debate a black Republican.

Got my eyes checked out today

And actually got some very, very good news. Seems that the readings showing high levels of pressure in my eyeballs were the result of allergies and the antihistamines I took to control them. This means two things to me:

1) I am not in danger of glaucoma as previously thought.

2) I am now able to consider Lasik surgery to correct my eyesight.

You have no idea how much I'm rejoicing at the very thought of that!

More expected bullshit from Kommisar Obama

You knew this was coming, right? Or at least something like this.

The capital flew into a bit of a tizzy when, on his first full day in the White House, President Obama was photographed in the Oval Office without his suit jacket. There was, however, a logical explanation: Mr. Obama, who hates the cold, had cranked up the thermostat.

“He’s from Hawaii, O.K.?” said Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, David Axelrod, who occupies the small but strategically located office next door to his boss. “He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there.”

Your Honor, I'd like to enter Exhibit A if I may.

“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” Obama said.

“That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen,” he added.

But what do you expect when you elect a Marxist elitist? The Soviet Commissars told the peasants to shut up and be happy with their stale bread, while they themselves dined on caviar. IT'S WHAT A COMMUNIST DOES.

If someone asks you

Why the spending spree being pushed by Kommisar Obama and Botox Pelosi will not and cannot work.

Ask that person where the money for all of that spending is going to come from. It can only come from one of two places - either government borrows it, or they take it from American tax-paying citizens.

Which means that in order to pay for that massive pile of crap being pushed forward, the FedGov is either going to put us over ONE TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT, or they are going to TAKE ONE TRILLION DOLLARS FROM U.S. CITIZENS. And neither of those options are going to help the economy. BOTH of those options can only HURT our economy. So no matter WHAT is in that bill, it will not, CANNOT pull us out of a recession, it can only send us deeper INTO that recession.

The Government cannot create money or jobs. Sorry, they just can't. Government can only TAKE money and jobs from somewhere else.

And so it grows

People are continuing to speak out against the bullshit hype of Man-made Global Warming.

Retired senior NASA atmospheric scientist, Dr. John S. Theon, the former supervisor of James Hansen, NASA’s vocal man-made global warming fear soothsayer, has now publicly declared himself a skeptic and declared that Hansen “embarrassed NASA” with his alarming climate claims and said Hansen was “was never muzzled.” Theon joins the rapidly growing ranks of international scientists abandoning the promotion of man-made global warming fears.

“I appreciate the opportunity to add my name to those who disagree that global warming is man made,” Theon wrote to the Minority Office at the Environment and Public Works Committee on January 15, 2009. “I was, in effect, Hansen’s supervisor because I had to justify his funding, allocate his resources, and evaluate his results,” Theon, the former Chief of the Climate Processes Research Program at NASA Headquarters and former Chief of the Atmospheric Dynamics & Radiation Branch explained.

“Hansen was never muzzled even though he violated NASA’s official agency position on climate forecasting (i.e., we did not know enough to forecast climate change or mankind’s effect on it). Hansen thus embarrassed NASA by coming out with his claims of global warming in 1988 in his testimony before Congress,” Theon wrote.

(.....)

Theon declared “climate models are useless.” “My own belief concerning anthropogenic climate change is that the models do not realistically simulate the climate system because there are many very important sub-grid scale processes that the models either replicate poorly or completely omit,” Theon explained. “Furthermore, some scientists have manipulated the observed data to justify their model results. In doing so, they neither explain what they have modified in the observations, nor explain how they did it. They have resisted making their work transparent so that it can be replicated independently by other scientists. This is clearly contrary to how science should be done. Thus there is no rational justification for using climate model forecasts to determine public policy,” he added.

When asked for comment, the Democrat American Communist Party controlled Congress declared Dr. Theon a "fascist Mother Gaia-raping profit-monger", and returned to giving algore a handjob with eco-friendly lube. Because they're tolerant like that.

Cracking the Obama Code: Don Quixote vs. the Windmill Owners

Oleg Atbashian puts up the best thing I've read in years...

“Change” signifies a backward movement to the idealized Utopian times that never really existed. More specifically, it can mean anything Obama’s team does - from staffing the government with old Clinton drones to exhuming and reviving the corpse of the “Fairness Doctrine” - a mothball-smelling liberal zombie programmed to kill radio stations that broadcast dissenting voices

“Hope” means a conscious effort to fire up a quixotic vision of a government-appointed knight in shining armor, galloping to your rescue - and to spread this illusion to the scale of a massive hallucination.

“Crisis” denotes a fortunate turn of events when the frightened masses are more likely to elect a quixotic leader. Nothing bolsters collectivism like a stampede.

“Unity” means that everybody must play this game without exception. Which reminds me of the old Soviet make-believe game of building the communist society long after people had stopped believing in it, but continued to pretend out of habit, convenience, fear, or career prospects.

The House just passed the "Generational Theft Act" that loots the American tax-payer for $1,100,000,000,000.

Zero (R)epublicans vote for it... the whores of the MainStreamMedia are already spewing that the (R)epublicans are failing to live up to their "promises" to be non-partisan... as if the (D)emocrats didn't betray this country at every turn for the last 8 years.

Eleven Democrats vote no. Rep. Virginia Foxx (R., N.C.): "I am glad that this vote demonstrated bipartisan opposition to the bill, instead of bipartisan support."

For that... I am thankful.

Quote of the Day #2

From a Thomas Sowell piece I found through The Smallest Minority.

What are the Beltway politicians buying with all the hundreds of billions of dollars they are spending?

They are buying what politicians are most interested in — power.

In the name of protecting the taxpayers' investment, they are buying the power to tell General Motors how to make cars, banks how to bank and, before it is all over with, all sorts of other people how to do the work they specialize in, and for which members of Congress have no competence, much less expertise.

This administration and Congress are in a position to do what Franklin Roosevelt did during the Great Depression of the 1930s — use a crisis of the times to create new institutions that will last for generations.

You have GOT to read the whole thing.

Quote of the day

From this comment thread over at No Looking Backwards:

Sure you can carry a loaded 10+1 .45 on your hip with two spare mags, but if you find yourself in a situation where you *need* 31 rounds of .45 ACP, what you really *need* is air support.

I'm of the opinion that it doesn't matter what you carry, as much as it's important to be able to control the gun and hit what you aim at. The .600 Defecalator Magnum looks all shiny and impressive and stuff, sure. But give me a gun I can control and hit the target with every round. I'm happy even with a good .380 auto.

Still nothing beats my M1911, but that's just my opinion for me.

*vomits*

God help us.

1. The $825 billion package slated for a House vote later this week will exceed more than $1.1 trillion when adding in the interest ($300 plus billion) between 2009-2019 to pay for it.

2. The Capitol Hill Democrats’ plan includes funding for contraceptives; regardless of where anyone stands on taxpayer funded contraception, there is no question that it has NOTHING to do with the economy.

3. The legislation could open billions of taxpayer dollars to left-wing groups like the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), which has been accused of voter fraud, is reportedly under federal investigation; and played a key role in the housing meltdown.

4. Here are just a few of the programs and projects that have been included in the House Democrats’ proposal:

· $650 million for digital TV coupons.

· $600 million for new cars for the federal government.

· $6 billion for colleges/universities – many which have billion dollar endowments.

· $50 million in funding for the National Endowment of the Arts.

· $44 million for repairs to U.S. Department of Agriculture headquarters.

· $200 million for the National Mall, including $21 million for sod.

5. The plan establishes at least 32 new government programs at a cost of over $136 billion. That means more than a third of this plan’s spending provisions are dedicated to creating new government programs.

6. The plan provides spending in at least 150 different federal programs, ranging from Amtrak to the Transportation Security Administration. Is this the “targeted” plan Democratic leaders promised?

7. Even though the legislation contains at least 152 separate spending proposals, the authors of the plan can only say that 34 have any chance at keeping or growing jobs.

8. Just one in seven dollars of an $18.5 billion expenditure on “energy efficiency” and “renewable energy programs” would be spent within the next 18 months.

9. The total cost of this one piece of legislation is almost as much as the annual discretionary budget for the entire federal government.

10. The House Democrats’ bill will cost each and every household $6,700 in additional debt, paid for by our children and grandchildren.

11. The bill provides enough spending – $825 billion – to give every man, woman, and child in America $2,700. $825 billion is enough to give every person in Ohio $72,000.

12. $825 billion is enough to give every person living in poverty in the United States $22,000.

13. Although the House Democrats’ proposal has been billed as a transportation and infrastructure investment package, in actuality only $30 billion of the bill – or three percent – is for road and highway spending. A recent study from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that only 25 percent of infrastructure dollars can be spent in the first year, making the one year total less than $7 billion.

14. Much of the funding within the House Democrats’ proposal will go to programs that already have large, unexpended balances. For example, the bill provides $1 billion for Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) – a program that already has $16 billion on hand. States also are sitting on some $9 billion in unused highway funds – funds that Congress is prepared to rescind later this year.

15. All board members of the “Accountability and Transparency Board” created by this legislation are appointees of the President; none will be appointed by Congress.

16. A scant 2.7 percent, or $22.3 billion of the overall package, is dedicated to small business tax relief.

17. The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that the legislation increases by seven million the number of people who get a check back from the IRS that exceeds what they paid in payroll and income taxes.

18. The “Making Work Pay” tax credit at the center of the plan amounts to $1.37 a day, or about the price of a cup of coffee.

19. Almost one-third of the so-called “tax relief” in the House Democrats’ bill is spending in disguise, meaning that true tax relief makes up only 24 percent of the total package – not the 40 percent that President Obama had requested.

20. $825 billion is just the beginning – many Capitol Hill Democrats want to spend even more taxpayer dollars on their “stimulus” plan. In fact, the Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, Rep. David Obey (D-WI), told Roll Call earlier this month, “I would not be surprised to see us go further on some of these programs down the line.”

We are so fucked.

Photo Time

I don't feel like posting about politics today, so...

Here's a photo from this summer, when I was on leave and visiting the parents. I can't really call them the "Ragin" parents, because they both exude a calm that I've been unable to capture in my particular life. But we went out on the paternal sailboat, and I spent a good amount of time just lying in the sun and enjoying the ride.

I don't claim to know what heaven is like, but I'm pretty sure there's sailboats there. This is only 883KB if you want to download it.

Dear Leader Obama offers advice

To the Republicans. Oh. Yay.

President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.

"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.

One White House official confirmed the comment but said he was simply trying to make a larger point about bipartisan efforts.

What a load of shit. If the Republicans Stupid Party had listened to Rush Limbaugh in the first place, that corrupt communist piece of shit would have never even got close to sniffing the Oval Office, a position he is completely unworthy and incapable of holding.

And if President Bush had told the Democrat American Communist Party in 2000 that they shouldn't listen to MoveOn and other assorted Leftist groups, the media would have been all over him. But not Dear Kommisar Obama! Get a look at THIS headline!

The AP headlines: "Obama breaks from Bush, avoids divisive stands"

Good god. Is there any doubt that the Mainstream Media is on it's knees, slurping at Obama's schmeckle and rubbing one out while they get bukkaked? I guess pissing off the Vatican is considered avoiding a divisive stand. But hey, why should he worry? The MSM is going to carry his bullshit, cover up his screw-ups, and glorify his name on their pages for as long as they're alive. They've sold their soul to get him into the White House, and now they'll do everything in their power to keep him there.

Nothing but whores and propaganda organs fill our newspapers. No wonder they hate Rush Limbaugh so much - he's one of the few people who doesn't kowtow to the Liberal Lord and Messiah. And that cannot be allowed!

The more I read the worthless, biased crap put forth as "news", the more I realize that the newspapers in this country need to all go bankrupt. As bankrupt as their souls. As empty as their morals. Totally and completely gone. Then maybe we can start over, and actually have someone report the facts rather than spouting the talking points of the Left.

Change you can believe in!

Hmmmm.... I wonder....

I am concerned, as I’m sure many of you are, that these jobs not simply go to high-skilled people who are already professionals or to black male construction workers. ...I have nothing against black male construction workers. I’m just saying that there are a lot of other people who have needs as well. … Criteria can be set so that the money does go to others, the long term unemployed minorities, women, people who are not necessarily construction workers or high-skilled professionals.

So, tell me, do you think that's racist? Because I only changed two words in that paragraph. I changed the word "white" to "black". Twice.

I want to see how much hate mail I get. Found at Gateway Pundit.

Blogroll up and running (mostly)

As you can see, I've gotten quite a few blogs hard coded into the blogroll. So, here's your chance, if I don't have you listed, to email me and let me know. I know there's a few that I've forgotten to put in there. Forgive me, but I didn't have all the blogroll saved in my bookmarks, and so there's a few that have slipped out.

Let me know, and I'll get 'em back in.

And if I didn't have you in there to begin with, but you think I should have, go ahead, make your case!

Obama blew off Medal of Honor Awardees?

Am I surprised? Hell no. But what is really instructive is the Cult of Obama has come forth in numbers to defend their Liberal Lord and Messiah. Of course, they don't have a fucking clue, nor any kind of grasp on reality, but that's life these days. There's the unhinged, lunatic anti-American Left, and then there's, well, everyone else with two or more brain cells.

I've been tagged

Huh. First time I've ever been tagged with a meme. I've always just stolen them from other people before now. But, since I've been tagged, here it is:

DA RULES:
1. Link to the person who tagged you. (Check.)
2. Post the rules on your blog. (Got it.)
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
4. Tag six random people with a link.

My six non-important quirky-things:

1. My nickname in Basic Training was PVT Hubble. The Drill Sergeants didn't even know my real name until about halfway through.

2. I make chainmaile as a hobby.

3. My brother has performed at Carnegie Hall with the Boston Pops Orchestra. The Ragin' Mrs. wanted me to change this one, because she reminded me of one of my habits: I have a habit of taking a song, changing the words, and singing it at random times. Normally it's whatever song is playing on the radio. Or I'll just make up a tune and sing whatever words I want to. I've been doing it all my adult life. I guess that's pretty quirky. It makes my wife giggle, especially when I change the words to something about her.

But my brother has indeed performed at Carnegie Hall with the Boston Pops Orchestra. He's got more musical talent in his left nostril than I have in my entire body.

4. One of my favorite snacks as a kid was raw, marinated octopus. From a little shop in Kailua.

5. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a 18-wheel truck driver when I grew up.

6. I'm the fourth generation of my family in the military. Great-grandfather, grandfather, Dad and Uncle, Me.

And the six victims are: Once I get my blogrolls up and running, I'll let you know.

Hard coding has begun

It's going to take me a while. I don't exactly have hours to sit at my computer and put my blogroll back together. But if Blogrolling comes back up, I'll put a halt to it. I've started with the Second Amendment section first, because I have most of those saved in my bookmarks. I'll try to re-create the blogroll as best as I can, but I didn't have all of them saved.

Meh. There will be some changes. So be it.

Blogrolling dead?

Seems to be down for the count. No updates on their website. As much as I would hate to do it, I might just hard code the blogroll into the template.

The Cult of Obama continues

In Kenya.

“This man is Jesus,” shouted one man, spilling his Guinness as Barack Obama began his inaugural address. “When will he come to Kenya to save us?” If Barack Obama’s spin doctors have been trying to lower expectations since his election victory, the message clearly has not reached the land of his father…

“Now he is president we will get food and jobs,” said Ben Ochieng, as he danced to the traditional music that replaced the planned show…

The Kenya National Theatre even revived its hit show Obama The Musical, which wowed sell-out audiences during the US election last year. It uses parallels with the Bible Story and Mr Obama’s own struggles with racism and drugs — documented in his memoir Dreams From My Father - to portray the incoming President as a saviour for downtrodden peoples of the world…

“It is right that when people get power they look after their family, so we know that Obama will build lots of good things for us, like schools and roads and clinics,” said George Opiyo as he left the theatre.

Didn't some morons in Florida say pretty much the same bullshit?

Blogrolling is down

Don't know when it'll be back up. Stay tuned? I know they were trying to get a new code up and running. Maybe it backfired on them.

And since we're talking about Kommisar Obama anyways

Here's a nice cheery post from Kevin Baker.

I am reminded of a conversation I had with a coworker several years ago. His mother works for the Census Bureau. Her job has great benefits, lots of holidays, generous vacation and sick leave, and an excellent retirement plan. For about two and a half years at a stretch, her job is quiet and undemanding. Then, for about eighteen months it's hectic, and the hours can be somewhat long, though she is compensated for the overtime. At one family gathering, during the slow period, she commented to all that working for the .gov was just terrific, and "I don't know why everybody doesn't work for the government!"

Into the short silence that followed, my coworker replied, "We do. For about the first five months of every year."

Anybody expecting it to exceed six in the not-too-distant future?

When more of your money goes to the government rather than to your bank account, it's time to break out the tar and feathers. Hell, it's been time for that going back years now. I wonder if there will be enough people awake and aware enough to use said tar and feathers, or if the masses are going to be lulled back to their slumber by the bread and circuses the FedGov is putting on?

What a sorry state we're in....

Obama gives order to close Gitmo

Or the other, more accurate headline, courtesy of yours truly: Spineless fucking surendermonkey caves in to Terrorist demands.

Just where the hell are we going to put these terrorists once Gitmo is closed? Anyone want to try answering that? Shall we just release them into Washington D.C.? It's not like it would make a noticeable bump in the crime rate there!

Way to go, Leftist douchbags. I'm sure the terrorists are going to be SOOOOOOOOOOO nice to us now, right?

"The White Will Embrace What Is Right" -- Joseph Lowery

So much for a colorblind closing "prayer."

Allahpundit

Inaugural benediction: Pray that “white will embrace what is right”

Welcome to the post-racial age. Exit question: Hey, that Rick Warren’s pretty controversial, huh?

Sweetness & Light on

Joseph Lowery

It’s clear that Mr. Lowery’s remarks were no surprise to the Obama camp. ...

"I’m equally certain that we will continue to pray for justice to roll down as waters, and for that day when there will be peace in the valley, and for that day when every man and every woman will sit under his or her own vine and fig tree and none will be afraid, and for that day when black will not be asked to get back, brown can stick around, yellow will be mellow, the red man can get ahead, man, and white will embrace what is right! Amen!" -- Joseph Lowery

...this same chant has been used by Mr. Lowery before.
...
Byron York at National Review noticed back in May 2008 that Michelle Obama heard and approved these lines

Today begins the nightmare

Only we're all awake and watching this train-wreck happen in real time.

Where the new President wants to "fix" the imperfect Constitution. Oh, he's a constitutional scholar all right. The problem is that he doesn't agree with the constitution. Think about that. The man swears an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and he doesn't even agree with it!

We are so fucked.

Where the Democrat American Communist Party wants to crown their Liberal Lord and Messiah king, and they're working towards just that goal.

We are so fucked.

Where the Cult of Obama is in full masturbatory frenzy of slavish devotion.

We are so fucked.

This is going to be the longest four years of our lives. We are going to have to fight every day to keep this country free, and the people we need to protect it from are in the positions of power. I honestly don't know if we as a country can survive the damage that will be done by the Obama cult and their Kool-Aide guzzling slaves. I'm praying that I'm wrong, I really am.

But I don't think so. Every sign points to disaster for America.

We are so fucked.

Pig Sex for Obamapalooza

A woman Muslim, a gay bishop and a Baptist preacher go to an inauguration... we are the punchline.

HBO broadcasting the coronation pre-party, DTV featuring the same broadcast on it's special channel, CNN featuring fawning specials all day... the MainStreamMedia has passed bias and embraced 'partisan'.

"So now we are in this Orwellian paradox of seeing Obama's base turn out in record numbers on the basis apparently of race, but on the other hand the implied warning that if anyone else were likewise to consider that fact, then he would be racialist. So is he an identity-politics candidate or a post racialist unifier? Or both? It all reminds me of the perennial complaints of the National Council of La Raza (the race) lecturing insensitive others about their unfair consideration of race in matters of illegal immigration. This is very disappointing, because lost in Obamania is the complete repudiation of his original promise precisely not to become a racial candidate." -- Victor Davis Hanson

All for a man who substitutes arrogance for accomplishment:

"I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions." -- Barack Obama

Van Helsing has details on some of the more amusing celebrations of the Obamessiah

Homosexuals to Celebrate The One's Coronation With DC Pig Sex Orgy

A homosexual "pig sex" orgy has been planned at a Washington hotel just as the traditional inaugural party season — this year honoring President-elect Barack Obama — is beginning, according to a Christian group that ministers to homosexuals.

The invitation-only event will be held at the Doubletree Hotel at 1515 Rhode Island Avenue NW in DC, which is offering a discounted rate to those who attend. Features are to include "a bondage cross," "a flogging station," and "rimming stations." Rimming — aka "oral-anal sodomy"...

I think "Sodomy" is exactly the analogy that I was looking for to describe an Obama presidency.

Remember how Obama dramatically quit wearing a flag pin? Created his own Presidential seal? Wouldn't say the Pledge? Painted over the American flag on O-Force-One? Trashed hundreds of American flags at his nomination?

Barack Hussein Obama hates America

Well... Michelle Malkin notes Obama supporters are now defacing the flag

The official Flag of the Obama States of America

“The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.” -- US Flag Code

Well, don’t you dare question their patriotism.

Gateway Pundit

Obama Supporters Desecrate US Flag

Obama also announced his permanent campaign, Organizing for America, today to push his agenda on the country. This sounds like an offshoot of his Marxist Youth Corps that he talked about back in November.

Barack Hussein Obama is back to channeling Jeremiah Wright, via Gateway Pundit

Obama Calls Out to Flawed Americans For a New Declaration of Independence

Barack Obama's mentor and spiritual teacher would regularly preach about America's Fondling Fathers. He'd preach about the rapist Thomas Jefferson. He'd talk about Israel's ethnic bombs and G-d Damn AmeriKKKa.
...
Although, those vaunted professionals in the mainstream media never reported any of this.
...
The cut-and-runner still thinks he's Lincoln. He's tracing the train route Abraham Lincoln took Washington before his inauguration.

On MLK day we should not forget SNOBama's "fathers":

"Mentor" Frank Davis
"Reverend" Al Sharpton
"Reverend" James Meeks
"Reverend" Jeremiah Wright
"Reverend" Otis Moss III
"Minister" Louis Farrakhan
"Pastor" Michael Pfleger
"Reverend" James Bevel
"Reverend" Eric Lee
"Pastor" Mack King
"Bishop" Desmond Tutu

Barack Hussein Obama plays the race card and forgets that it is his own party, the (D)emocrats, that enforce Jim Crow and fought for slavery.

"I don't believe it is possible to transcend race in this country. Race is a factor in this society. The legacy of Jim Crow and slavery has not gone away." -- Barack Obama

It was Reagan(R) who made MLK day a holiday and (D)emocrats who enforced segregation.

And no... MLK would not be impressed because his point was:

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Patriot Post

INSIGHT: MLK

...some of King's chief lieutenants, like Jesse Jackson, tolerate no dissension from their liberal ranks now. They have abandoned King's dream, and aligned themselves with political and social agendas obsessed with color at the expense of character.

Black conservatives of national stature, such as Clarence Thomas, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powel, Ward Connerly, Michael Steele, Jesse Lee Peterson, Alan Keyes, Don Scoggins, Alvin Williams, Ken Blackwell, Thomas Sowell, Star Parker and Walter Williams are routinely castigated by the Black Supremacists, as "Uncle Toms" and "puppets." Yet these are the men and women who really understand King's central message about character.

Today, president-elect Barack Hussein Obama will be waxing eloquently about King's legacy. But it is worth noting that prior to his murder in 1968, Martin King went to Obama's hometown of Chicago to meet with Mayor Richard Daley, father of the current Windy City Don. Chicago was a hotbed of racial hatred under Daley, and not much has changed.
...
Chicago was not only a denizen of racial hatred but the violent black supremacist movement was born there. King said,

"Those who are associated with 'Black Power' and black supremacy are wrong."

And today the Obamessiah is coronated for only his pigmentation as he drags the Clinton machine back into the Whitehouse.

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That's not leadership. That's not going to happen." -- Barack Obama

They still hate us

So the Islamo-fascists are driving cars over a poster of the Moonbat Messiah? No kidding? Who woulda thunk it?

Well, anyone with half a brain could have told you it would happen. But we lost this election. It's all sunbeams and rainbows and unicorn farts from now on, remember?

Look, I don't know who first started the meme that if we elected the Liberal Lord and Messiah, all the wars in the world would stop and everybody would love us again. But it's bullshit, it's always been bullshit, and if the dipshits on the Left had actually bothered to take a good hard look at the people this country is fighting, they would have seen that nothing we do is going to stop that hatred. But that takes too much effort for the Left. It takes thought, and serious contemplation, neither of which the Left is capable of.

The only difference now is that this country is losing the President who fights back, and installing the Great Surrenderer.

We are so fucked.

One man's journey

Blogrolling is still down. They got hacked last year around October, and they've been rebuilding things from the ground up while keeping their service going. But they should be back up soon, and when they are, there are some serious additions I need to make to the blogroll.

One of them is Big Hollywood. Because this post alone justifies reading it daily.

I have since met real people who identify as Republicans and even Christians – the religion we are constantly warned (despite plenty of evidence to the contrary) is the worst, most dangerous in the world. I have been in the dreary Catholic church of my partner’s parents. And guess what. I’ve never felt more welcome, even as an openly gay man there with my partner. I have no interest in Catholicism or going to church. And I’m sure underneath, the church folk do not fully approve of how we live. Maybe some do. But newsflash: I don’t have to approve of how they live either. And none of us is killing the other. They are not the enemy.

I have over the past eight years also observed – and experienced the lash of –
an increasing unwillingness by otherwise decent, intelligent people to tolerate points of view that do not adhere to “politically correct” guidelines. In other words, the “talking stick” schtick no longer asks that you merely listen, it demands that you shut up. And you must conform. Just days after Sarah Palin’s powerhouse speech at the Republican National Convention – before Tina Fey had even unleashed her incredible spoof – I attended a business lunch where withering remarks about the newbie candidate went down around the table like well-lined-up dominoes. Palin was already being labeled a “self-parody”; it wasn’t Tina Fey’s fault. When it came my turn to pipe in, I decided to try chivalry, and simply said I liked the lady.

Silence. Whoops. Party over. Lesson learned: don’t defend the white trash.

Everyone in LA – or NY or SF - should try saying something un-PC in “polite” company. Just to experience the sting. Talk about change: in an instant, you begin to understand how single women in Salem must have felt. Suddenly, you feel naked, exposed, wishing you had Tourette syndrome instead of common sense. After a few such experiences - and they usually involve some degree of verbal abuse - you start thinking twice about speaking your mind. Funny, I thought that was what we were all supposed to be fighting for.

You have got to read the whole thing.

Guess the anti-semite!

Who said it: Bill Moyers or David Duke?

There is a constant stream of anti-antisemitism and hatred flowing from the Left. This is nothing surprising for anyone who's been watching the past few years. There's just one big difference between the two people - David Duke has been rejected by both the Right and Left.

Bill Moyers is only rejected by the Right. The Left embraced him whole-heartedly, as he represents their values. For that matter, they should have embraced David Duke as well, since he represents much of what the Left embodies. And they certainly have no problem with KKK members, as proven by Robert Byrd (D) of West Virginia.

Corrected thanks to Prayerborn in the comments. Hey, with the massive amount of anti-antisemitism coming from the Left, I get my anti-Semites mixed up every now and then.

Holy moly

When someone is this ignorant, I don't know how they can be an expert on ANYTHING. The fact that this quote made it into print:

There are nearly 7,000 gun shops along the southern U.S. border, about three for every mile. They sell thousands of hand grenades, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, AK-47s, and "cop killer" guns and bullets that cut through Kevlar body armor. The weapons quickly flow south, again with barely a nod from U.S. Border Patrol.

Wow. Just wow. Nowhere in America is it legal to buy or sell live hand grenades. Nowhere in America is it legal to buy or sell RPG's. AK-47's? Yes, semi-auto. Ooooo, the dreaded "cop-killer" guns! That would be....... what, exactly? A deer rifle?

What a load of crap. And yet this load of crap made it into FOREIGN POLICY MAGAZINE????

Holy crap.

I concur

Regarding the plane that landed in the Hudson River this afternoon.

The Pilot of Flight 1549?

The one that just crashed landed into the Hudson?

I bow down to his greatness.

It's hard enough to land a plane when everything works. But to land a plane on an unstable medium when your engines have crapped out, and keep it in one piece? When both engines are disabled due to birds getting sucked in?

That's skill. That's one hell of a pilot. Those passengers are alive because he was able to keep that plane stable and going in the right direction.

Thank you, Mr Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger.

Dear Food Companies

When you put "100% pure horseradish!" on the front of a bottle in BIG FUCKING LETTERS, and my wife buys said supposed 100% pure horseradish, only to find out that you've added SOYBEAN OIL!

FUCKING!

SOYBEAN!

OIL!

IN THE FUCKING HORSERADISH!

It pisses me off. My wife is allergic to soy. We don't eat soy. I don't even like eating soy when my wife isn't around. As far as I'm concerned, all this fucking soy is part of the reason our kids are walking around pussified and going DEEDEEDEE! You know what soy has in it? ESTROGEN! Now maybe I'm off my rocker here, but force-feeding your boys a food that contains estrogen is NOT the way to raise them.

But try to find food without soy in it. Go ahead. Try it. Soy protein. Soy flour. Soybean oil SOY LECITHIN. Every fucking food out there has SOY LECITHIN in it. It's an emulsifier. It's in chocolate. It's in bread. It's in all kinds of shit. It's everywhere.

The last thing I wanted to see soybeans in was my horseradish.

Fucking make me puke.

Here they come

The gun banners, gun grabbers, etc etc etc.

Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 would amongst other things:

1. Require licensing for anybody that owns a gun.

2. Would require photographs and a thumbprint

3. Would require passage of a test that covers:

(A) the safe storage of firearms, particularly in the vicinity of persons who have not attained 18 years of age;

(B) the safe handling of firearms;

(C) the use of firearms in the home and the risks associated with such use;

(D) the legal responsibilities of firearms owners, including Federal, State, and local laws relating to requirements for the possession and storage of firearms, and relating to reporting requirements with respect to firearms; and

(E) any other subjects, as the Attorney General determines to be appropriate;

My response?

On point 1: Fuck you

On point 2: Fuck you

On point 3: Fuck you

A: Up a tree

B: With a chainsaw

C: Without lube, using a sandpaper condom

D: Using a live scorpion as a dildo

E: Into a vat of Hydrochloric acid.

Scratch a Democrat, find a dictator. The first act of dictators world wide remains to disarm their victims, so that their victims could not fight back. Fuck Congress. Fuck Blair Holt. And fuck any government agency that tries to enforce this.

MOLON LABE, you choad-sucking pieces of shit.

Dangerous Victims

Kevin Baker has another fan, one who has linked to his Dangerous Victims essays. If you haven't read them yourself, perhaps now would be a good time to do so.

Essay One: It's most important that all potential victims be as dangerous as they can.

Essay Two: Violence and the Social Contract.

Essay Three: Governments, Criminals, and Dangerous Victims.

Read them? Back already? Right then, on to Kevin Baker's latest fan, Hecate. (Love the name!) In her post about why she linked to those three essays, she lays out a few plain truths that the anti-gun crowd would rather forget:

I recall a friend describing a brief time when he worked in a liquor store. It was the only one in the area that had never been robbed. The store owner had a policy that anyone working there had to have a gun and carry it openly.

One evening, a carful of young urban males drove past the store repeatedly. Then they stopped for a better look. What they saw was a store clerk wearing a Smith & Wesson .357 K-frame and looking them right in the eye.

They left and never came back.

What saved my friend, and his employer's profits, was that he was a dangerous victim, not a helpless one.

While that's a powerful statement, there's another truth that she writes just one paragraph above it:

The first essay applies most closely to the surface issue here. The way to keep convenience store clerks and customers safe is not to make them as helpless as possible. Robbers aren't afraid of the police. They almost never arrive in time to stop a crime in progress. Robbers aren't afraid of the courts. They have been through that system over and over, only to wind up back on the street to commit more crimes. The only thing robbers fear is somebody with the tools, skills, and will to stop them right now.

I recall reading someone, perhaps Francis Porretto, who described how the laws are a substitute for violence. We as a society follow the laws that are laid down because the alternative is violence. Let's take theft. Horse theft, in particular. You've all heard about how a horse thief ain't good fer nuthin' but hangin', right? Why do you think that was?

Because horses were required for life in many places in the West. Stealing a man's horse meant that you were stealing his way of making a living. And in the Old West, stealing a man's living meant quite literally that he might starve. Without a code of laws in place to punish those horse thieves, what recourse would a man have? If there was no way of repairing the damage that those thieves caused, then what could you do to stop the thieves before they started?

You killed them. Period. You wreaked great violence upon the criminals who would destroy you.

With a code of laws in place, you allowed justice under those laws to replace the violence that you once took into your own hands. When you agree to live under the law, you agree to let the law replace your own vengence. Instead of hanging a horse thief, you allowed the Sheriff or his deputy to arrest the horse thief and send him to jail.

So, got all this? I haven't mixed things up too badly have I? Still with me? Good

So what happens when the law, the law that we agree to live under, does NOT give us our reparation? If we agree that the law replaces our personal violence, but the law does not address the grievances we have against the criminals who have harmed us? And have no doubt, the law in this country has been getting weaker and weaker for decades. Hell, the whole reason the death penalty is still in existence is because life in prison doesn't really mean LIFE IN PRISON. It means maybe 25 years, then parole, and that's if you don't get out earlier for good behavior. Our grievances are NOT being addressed by the law. The criminals in many cities run rampant, knowing that even if they get caught they won't be punished for their crimes.

So the law which is supposed to punish the criminals is not doing what it's supposed to do. The alternative to violence isn't working. What's left? Well, it's the first solution that the law was supposed to supplant - violence.

I strongly urge my friends to be as violent as possible. Just remember the difference between violent and protective, versus violent and predatory. The former is commendable and should be encouraged. The latter will be hunted down and killed by the former.

A Target Rich Environment

I'll second Vinnie's comment - I don't know how Zombie goes and photograph's these things and still remains sane. I'd be out there with a baseball bat in one hand, and a machete in the other. It would not end nicely.

Linky Love

I'm going to be busy for the next couple of days, but I'll try to at least toss up some links that I think are worthwhile.

Cold Fury is on a roll, with posts about pro-Hamas idiots in Great Britain, and the Leftists who support them.

QandO has a video that perfectly captures a Leftist in the middle of her own personal awakening. Unfortunately, I'm of the opinion that she'll roll over and go right back to sleep. Remember Leftists, don't let reality intrude into your perfect world!

You would think that if you're famous, and you're walking on the red carpet into some event, and there are cameras all around, you would stop yourself from getting caught peeping some boobage. Well, I would think about that. I guess he didn't.

Kevin Baker recommends Gran Torino.

I. Want. One. So. Damn. Bad........ I have been wanting one ever since I borrowed my brother-in-law's. Ah well. Maybe once the finances are stable I can see if the BinL will sell it to me.

Gotta go. More later.

Blagojevich impeached

I saw the news yesterday, and I watched as the Illinois House of Representatives thundered on about how he had "BETRAYED THE PEOPLE OF ILLINOIS!"

Uh huh. I'm sure that those Illinois Democrat American Communist Party Members really give a shit about what's good for Illinois.

Here's my take, and I'm willing to put money on it - the Illinois Communists want Blagojevich gone, and they want him gone quickly. Why? Because ANY investigation into Blagojevich will uncover evidence of THEIR criminal activity as well. The longer he's out there flapping, the bigger the chance that he'll take some of them down with him.

And he's going down. Is Tony Rezko sentenced yet? No? Wasn't he set to be sentenced a long time ago? Yes, he was. The date for his sentencing keeps getting pushed back, and pushed back, because the prosecutors know that as long as they can keep making deals with him, the more he'll keep singing. And Rezko was a buddy to Blagojevich AND The Liberal Lord and Messiah, B. Hussein Obama.

It's scaring the shit out of the Democrat American Communist Party. It's not a matter of IF they are corrupt, because they've been corrupt for years. There's not a single honest politician that comes out of Chicago, period. Doesn't happen. They want to get rid of Blagojevich before the facts start to come out about THEM.

Bank on it.

Why I own guns

Because if any pro-terrorism butt-sniffers ever throw a molotov cocktail at me, I'm ventilating them.

Funny, when you watch the video of the pro-terrorist anal warts, you notice that they're screaming "ALLAHU ACKBAR!" I'm sure that's not indicative of ANYTHING at all. Nope. No sirree.

A Summation

I wish I could post it all, but that would be stealing.

I have no gripe with those who believe there are different paths to an ideal, healthy America. I'm fairly convinced that America is no Leftist's dream, however, hence the charge of dishonesty. The smallest of children can smoke out a platitude, and I take no solace in the Left's charade that they want as I do for the nation, and western civilization as a whole. It is a bald-faced lie, built upon a shifting, unstable Sargasso Sea of prevarication.

(.....)

This selfsame deceit manifests itself time and again in the Leftist philosophy. Those who cry "Peace!" the loudest are not for peace per se, they are merely the enemies of their own civilization. They cried Peace! when Reagan ousted communist thugs in Grenada, they shouted Peace! against the contras, they shouted Peace! against the Israelis in a stomach-curdling example of relativism.

One never heard, however, the cries of Peace! when the Soviets rolled into Budapest or Prague or Afghanistan, you will never hear Peace! when the Palestinians and Hezbollah reign rockets of death upon a peaceful neighbor, you will never hear Peace! when a mutant Islamist saws the head off a Daniel Pearl.

These filthy lying creatures of the darkness don't desire peace: they desire the defeat of bourgeoise western civilization, for a myriad of reasons, mostly cowardice and the economic advantage of simply being able to be a childish whiner in a society that respects and rewards the hard work and, yes, puritan ethic they are too somnambulent and lazy to aspire to. The current virulent anti-Semitism gushing through the bloodstream of the liberal establishment like a raging Marburg virus is nothing more or less than it has always been: the symptom of the craven cowardice and indolence of the pampered elite. Far easier to collaborate with the ululating Islamist decapitators than to stand tall and defend the Jews against those who brazenly boast of annihilating them. It truly takes a most rancid soul to sit in one's comfort zone and proclaim the Israelis are Nazis and SS troopers and genocidal murderers. To have descended to that level of gibberish is to have proclaimed oneself to all sane peoples that you are an insipid, unserious, dilettantish piece of human garbage, incapable of the simplest differentiation between nobility and gross savagery. I for one refuse to believe these Leftists actually believe this filth they purvey: no one in their right mind could do so. It simply must be the manifestation of the aforementioned cowardice, and the adolescent giggling of the shock-value childish.

Do yourself a favor and read all of it. The biggest problem we have in this country is that we thin Leftists can be reasoned with. They cannot. We need to stop pretending that they are anything other than the idiots who would throw open the gates of the city to the barbarians outside.

Found over at Og's place.

Side note - beware the Leftist linking to nude pictures of herself in the comments. No, really, she's throwing up links to her nude pictures. I have to ask, what kind of warped mental process makes people think they should share nude (albeit with naughty bits covered strategically) pictures of themselves with total strangers? That's like the flasher on the street who opens his trenchcoat to anyone who passes by.

If she's trying to prove that Leftists aren't right in the head, she's doing a good job.

Well, BOO-FREAKIN'-HOO!

One of the most liberal rags in the country is about to go under.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, which first rolled off the presses in 1863 and has been the state's longest-publishing newspaper, is up for sale.

The newspaper's staff was called into a closed meeting today by Publisher Roger Oglesby. Present at the meeting was Hearst Newspaper President Steve Swartz, who told the newsroom that Hearst Corp. is starting a 60-day process to find a buyer.

If a buyer is not found, Swartz said, possible options include creating an all-digital operation with a greatly reduced staff, or closing its operations entirely.

In no case will Hearst continue to publish the P-I in printed form, Swartz said.

Regardless, he said, if no buyer is found, the P-I as a newspaper will not publish after the two months is up.

I know that there are people out there who say "But, if the newspapers go, it'll hurt the country!" To which I say, BULLSHIT. The Seattle P-I is one of the most biased pieces of crap I've ever had the misfortune to read. I got more information out of the Seattle Weekly when I lived in the Puget Sound area. "Oh, but we need to hear every voice!" say the fence-sitters. Again, I say BULLSHIT. The only reason to read the P-I was to find out what the enemy was planning. Period. And they do that online now, so what's the point of having to buy it in paper version?

The worthless biased media is one of the reasons this country is falling further and further into Socialism and ruin. It's the reason we have such an un-informed population. The "news"papers haven't put out NEWS in years. It's all editorials, from the front page to the Life & Entertainment section. It's not reporting, it's PROPAGANDA.

Well, you can only make so much money selling propaganda to one side of the political sphere. I hope the Seattle P-I dies a painful, horrible death, followed by the New York Times. This country would be much better off.

You know what? Let me revise my statement a little bit. The loss of an actual NEWSPAPER would be bad indeed. But the Seattle P-I isn't a newspaper any more. It's just another worthless propaganda outlet. Don't mourn it. It doesn't deserve your pity or your sympathy. It deserves to go tits-up, and disappear from the national scene. Fuck 'em and feed 'em fishheads.

This particular bit of happy news was found at Ace of Spades HQ.

plagerism

While doing research on the web today I ran across a website that sells essays.
On it I found a link for "Plagiarism". Quite honestly I knew that sites like this existed. Though I hardly believe that they actually expect people to give proper credit for these essays and term papers. I just found an ironic hypocrisy in their website.

Plagiarism is an issue of great concern to high school, college and university faculty. Plagiarism is a moral, ethical, and legal issue. Plagiarism has been around for centuries, but the Internet and the subsequent proliferation of information have made the problem rampant. Plagiarism is not limited to students. Teachers, lawyers, businessmen, school administrators, politicians, reporters and other people in all walks of life plagiarize the work of others.

Plagiarism is taking someone else's work and passing it off as one's own. If you do not wish to plagiarize then all you need to do is provide proper acknowledgment or documentation when you use the work or words of others. It is just that simple.

There are a multitude of resources available on the Internet to educate students about what plagiarism is and show them strategies to prevent them from plagiarizing. Below you will find a selection of some these sources.

We are so screwed

So now that The Liberal Lord and Messiah B. Hussein Obama has nominated someone totally and completely unqualified to be head of the CIA....

Just how long will it take for someone to hit the USA with another terrorist attack?

We know the Democrats American Communist Party won't fight back.
We know the Republican Stupid Party might, maybe, kinda sorta fight back, if the political winds are right and they can spend more government dollars.

Honestly, I think the only reason terrorists haven't hit us before now is the knowledge that President Bush would be calling in the airstrikes on any country stupid enough to do it. But know that we have a member of the defeatist surrendercrats about to take the Oval Office, that deterrent is gone.

So, how long?

The Socialist Dream, realized

Or, what a difference twenty-eight years make. Of course, the socialist indoctrination has been going on for much longer than that. The Liberal Lord and Messiah B. Hussein Obama is just the culmination of that indoctrination.

Hope and Change?

Yeah, I hope I have some change left after Congress gets done. $1.6 TRILLION in deficit spending?

Just how lazy IS Congress, you ask?

Uncle Jay explains!



The more I learn about Congress, the more I truly believe that the only way our country can survive is to fire every last worthless bastard in Washington D.C. and start over.

Found at Gateway Pundit.

Oldie but goodie...

...and still pertinent:

And just in case

Any brain-dead fucktards drop in whining about how Israel is killing innocent little Paleswinian babies...


Bite me.



You know what that is? That's Paleswinians committing a war crime by using an ambulance to transport their terrorist buddies to shoot yet more Jewish women and children.



You know what that is? That's who sub-human pig-fuckers firing mortars from the yard of a boy's school, so that they can use children as cover for their terrorist attacks.

The anti-Semitic cult of death needs to be extinguished. If they refuse to extinguish that death cult themselves, they they themselves will need to be extinguished.

And they haven't shown any amount of self-restraint. So guess where that leaves the actual humans in this conflict?

Anyone who sides with Hamas and the Paleswinians can just go fucking choke themselves. If you actually think that Israel is the aggressor in this conflict, YOU ARE TOO FUCKING STUPID TO BE ALLOWED TO STEAL MY PRECIOUS OXYGEN.

The Norwegian Battle Sammich

One of the military forums I frequent has a recipe called the Norwegian Battle Sammich. The Ragin' Mrs. cooked 'em up for dinner tonight.

Wow. Tasty, filling, who the hell cares if it's authentic or not, it's damned good! The wife used boneless porkchops for the filling, but we both think it would go better with ham.

So, since it was so damned good, I've decided to pass it on.

1 grilled chicken breast split down middle
(add/substitute turkey, ham, beef, lamb, venison, etc.)

1/2 packet bacon, grilled

4 eggs scrambled (omelette style)

2 slices Swiss Cheese

1 slice tomato

2 leaves Romain lettuce

A1/Heinz 57 (I think we could substitute a good mustard)

1 Kaiser Roll (or one of any good sammich rolls)

Have I mentioned just how spoiled I am? Yes, I am! I admit it! And I'm rubbing it in! HAAAAA!

Dog Bites Man

Harry Reid is a lying asscannon? Say it ain't so!

Once again, the facts on the ground prove that members of the Democrat American Communist Party are nothing more than lying, traitorous, anti-american mamma-forkers who deserve to be hung.

In the public square.

Congresscritters. They're like whale shit, only lower!

And since we're visiting C&S anyways, let me say that this map is bullshit. Oh, I'm not doubting that there will be a civil war. It might come by 2010, it might take longer. But it'll be urban vs. rural. And if some other country steps in, you will have the large cities, populated mostly by worthless, spineless, gutless, corrupt fucking piece of shit Leftists, who will surrender to their new masters just as soon as they possibly can, while the rural folks start picking off the ChiComs with deer rifles.

It's really getting to the point that if I was faced with the situation of defending one of the large cities, vs. keeping the invaders out of the heartland, I'd let the cities fucking rot. Every last one of them.

And does anyone actually think that Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Oklahoma et al would actually stand to be controlled by anyone other than themselves? We have enough guns, and most likely enough ammo to last for a while, if we don't use it to slaughter the invaders and steal THEIR ammo. Which we most likely have a gun to use in.

But make no mistake, every last Democrat American Communist Party stronghold can just fuck off and die. That includes the Twin Cities, who's outright voter fraud has most likely gotten that half-pint, deranged fucking excuse of a human Stuart Smally a Congressional seat. Only MORE proof of what a fucking joke Congress has become.

Let me be clear - my oath is to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, against all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC. I can't think of any greater domestic enemies of the Constitution than Leftists, their supporters, and their enablers.

Free food

This post of Og's reminds me of a story that my family tells about my father's younger days. Back when my father was in high school, (back when a high school education was actually an education instead of rote indoctrination), he took a biology class where they had to dissect a chicken.

Yes, I chicken. No, I don't know why.

Now, to add a little back story on to this - my father's family was poor. Damned poor. Thursday night was fried chicken night, and each child (I think there were six or seven at that point) got exactly two pieces of chicken, plus a baked potato. Well, for a growing boy in highschool, that just didn't cut it. But economics being what they were, Dad wasn't going to just have fried chicken fall out of the sky and on to his plate.

So when the biology class started naming all the parts of the chicken, Dad took note. Literally. He memorized the names of every muscle, every tendon, every ligament, and every bone that a chicken has. He became an expert on the various body parts of the chicken. Had it down pat.

And then came Thursday night. The fried chicken night. So dad is munching on his chicken, leans over to his sister who has quite the squig factor, and begins to explain to her the various muscles, tendons and ligaments in the piece of chicken she was eating.

My aunt, according to the reports of the family who were there at the time, turned quite the spectacular shade of green, and slowly pushed her plate away from her, at which point Dad inquired if she was feeling well, and since she wasn't, would she mind if he took her chicken? My aunt didn't even want to see any food that that point agreed. And Dad got his free chicken.

There was only the one sibling that worked with, but Dad was almost guaranteed an extra piece of chicken for a month, after which the sibling changed spots on the table.

Jew Hatred in San Francisco?

Gosh, do you mean to tell me that the festering cesspool of Leftist thought is decidedly anti-Semite?

Say it ain't so! Where's the tolerance, man? Where's the love?

More hatred in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. At this point, I'm willing to state that anyone who advocates for the destruction of Israel needs to be shipped over to Gaza to protest over THERE.

The Post about Barack Obama's smoking habit

Guys - look, I understand the need to throw crap at that rat-bastard commie asshole from Chicago.

But smoking? As far as I know that's still legal. And quite a few Americans do it. Find something else. Hammer his ass for smoking dope and doing lines of coke twenty years ago. There's already pictures of him smoking a joint floating out on the internet. Nail him for THAT.

But posting a picture of Barack the fucking commie with a cigarette in his mouth ain't cutting it.

Skating rink

We had freezing rain last night. It's being followed up by a few snow flurries today. The entire sidewalk could be used as a skating rink.

Ah, the funner side of Midwest weather.

Blah

You ever have one of those days where you're attitude is just "Meh. Whatever. Fuck it."

Yeah. I'm having one of those days.

I'm pretty sure

That when Monty Python made "Life of Bryan", they weren't out to completely stereotype the liberal mindset. But after watching the movie, the first have just about damn near pins the Leftists to a tee. Especially the scene where the crown is ascribing Bryan any miraculous motive they can think of.

I think I know where Al Gore got his ideas from. And the eco-freaks followed the script perfectly.

OK, all you muzzle loader shooters

Help out a newbie here.

I took the new boomstick out for a test run today. I've got maxiball bullets. Tried to load them with a patch, but it wouldn't go down. It was so tight that the starter was leaving an imprint on the top of the bullet as I tried to get it to go down, and the cotton was actually getting cut in a few places at the bottom of the bullet. They went in without a patch, but I had no accuracy, which I think is because I don't have the seal that a patch is supposed to give. The patches I've got are the pre-lubed cotton, .005 inch thick. I'm using .50 cal maxiball lead cast bullets. This is a brand new gun, the barrel is fine, and right now I'm assuming that any and all problems with accuracy are caused by operator headspace and timing.

Any ideas?

Going shopping today

There's a few things I need to pick up for my muzzle loader, and there's a miter saw at Sears that's calling my name.

Toodles!

So....

How was your New Year's Eve? Safe, I hope. The Ragin' Mrs. and I went over to a friend's house, and except for one quick jaunt to pick up chips and salsa, nobody left the house. Toasted at midnight, crashed into the bed provided, and woke up this morning with everything I had last night.

Not too bad, all in all.
