The difference between a moral man and a man of honor is that the latter regrets a discreditable act even when it has worked.

— H. L. Mencken

And honourable men rarely try to force their morals on others.

Morning BC, Lizards!

How's things this morning?

Morning rightside, galloping granny. Bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning?

A Mencken quote in keeping with the season:

"I confess I enjoy democracy immensely. It is incomparably idiotic, and hence incomparably amusing."

No choice. We have acquired a dog. A BIG dog. A big dog who needs to go out at 5:30 in the morning or so. One who feeds herself. Apparently she indulged in a picnic last night - all of the peanut butter she could lick out of the jar after she got it open (where she found the pb I do not know!). She also thoroughly washed all of cat food cans she managed to find anywhere so that they are fit for the recycling bin.

LOL, aren't dogs a joy to have. The funniest one I saw was our family pet. He managed to get a carton of eggs and suck out all good stuff from the shells by some how punching holes in them.

Luckily she does not make too terribly much of a mess. She is quite selective about what she removes from the trash. And she does keep it all neatly in one place. On the couch. The one she isn't supposed to sit on - and doesn't until after we've gone to bed.

Yup, I was impressed when I watched it. Found it via an expat-in-Japan blog. Easily one of the most impressive demonstrations of a synchronized dance team I have every seen, which is why it is all the more stunning that they are supposedly deaf.

Morning goddess. How're things in your neck of the woods today? BTW, watch the video that got posted just upthread. Stunning!

Don't know if the handful of insomniac lizards quite find the use of Mencken here as ironic as I do...

Mencken was quite the character, and though I've never read a biography what little I have seen written about him paints him in, let's say, an interesting light.

From the Wikipedia entry:

In 1989, as per his instructions, Alfred A. Knopf published Mencken's "secret diary" as The Diary of H. L. Mencken. According to an item in the South Bay (California) Daily Breeze [1] on December 5, 1989, titled "Mencken's Secret Diary Shows Racist Leanings," Mencken's views shocked even the "sympathetic scholar who edited it," Charles A. Fecher of Baltimore. There was a club in Baltimore called the Maryland Club which had one Jewish member, and that member died. Mencken said "There is no other Jew in Baltimore who seems suitable," according to the article. And the diary quoted him as saying of blacks, in 1943, "...it is impossible to talk anything resembling discretion or judgment to a colored woman..."

The image painted in the Wikipedia entry is that Mencken was a true elitist, probably put the Obamas to shame.

Another saying attributed to Mencken:
The chief contribution of Protestantism to human thought is its massive proof that God is a bore.

Also, given his coverage of the Scopes trial, I suspect Mencken would have choice words for today's ID'ers.

I have been pulling, cutting, clipping and digging weeds in the terraced beds that run up the hill in back of the house since the day we moved here. In another five years I might have them something like they were originally. Been allowed to run wild for years. I would just dig everything up and start over but there are some fine old heirloom varieties in there I want to try to preserve.

Belgium: a haven to neo-Nazis

Heavily criticized for being lax on combating terror, Belgium is now being attacked by its own press for doing nothing about neo-Nazi groups.

Accused of being a “paradise” for neo-Nazis, Belgium claims it does not have the necessary legal instruments to combat the racist groups that have been flocking to the country after meeting resistance from the German and Dutch governments.

Neo-Nazi groups such as two called Blood and Honor are increasingly heading to Belgium for their Hitler commemoration events as they usually do not face any problems from Belgian authorities. De Morgen, a Belgian left-wing daily, declared Belgium a safe haven for fascist groups in an article published on Friday. According to the daily a German investigative journalist who had been attending similar gatherings of German, English and Dutch skinheads and neo-Nazis in particular confirmed in the VRT program “Koppen” that the Belgian authorities had done nothing to stop these groups.

According to Minister of Home Affairs Patrick Dewael (VLD), the government currently does not have the necessary judicial means to act. Despite Dewael’s claims, Federal Minister for Employment and Informatization Peter Vanvelthoven has introduced a bill to ban neo-Nazi groups, characterizing these groups as private militia. Two weeks ago Hitler commemorations were held in the Belgian cities of Bellegem and Overpelt.

Islamic Banking heads west

A new report from A.T Kearney, a global strategic management consulting firm, revealed that Islamic banks are making their mark on the financial markets of non-Islamic countries. While shaira-compliant banking has traditionally focused on the GCC and Malaysia, there has recently been a dramatic increase in the number of Islamic banks outside the core markets: most remarkably in the UK, where the number of Islamic banks has more than doubled over the past 12 months.

Hitchens on Michelle Obama

So numbed have I become by the endless replay of the fatuous clerical rantings of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright that it has taken me this long to remember the significant antecedent. In 1995, there appeared a documentary titled Brother Minister about the assassination of Malcolm X. It contained a secretly filmed segment showing Louis Farrakhan shouting at the top of his lungs in the Nation of Islam's temple in Chicago on "Savior's Day" in 1993.

Farrakhan, verging on hysteria, demanded to know of the murdered Malcolm X: "If we dealt with him like a nation deals with a traitor, what the hell business is it of yours?"

His apparent admission of what had long been suspected—that it was the Black Muslim leadership that ordered Malcolm's slaying—is not understood or remembered (or viewed) as often as it might be.

As for Rich's attack on Hagee for the pastor's "anti-Catholicism," the Times columnist got his facts wrong. Hagee was not calling the Catholic Church "the Great Whore." That is an eschatological New Testament term in the Book of Revelation. Hagee teaches that the "Great Whore" will be an "apostate church" and a "false cult system" made up of all those who claim Christianity yet reject the gospel, whether Catholic or Protestant. He has stated explicitly and publicly -- and should continue to reassure Catholics -- that he does not believe that the "Great Whore" of Revelation is the Catholic Church. For Hagee, the sure sign that a Christian has rejected the gospel is an embrace of anti-Semitism. In the video referenced by Rich, Hagee chooses his examples of "apostate" behavior -- the Crusades, the Inquisition and a Hitler quote referencing the Catholic Church -- not because they are Catholic, but because they are anti-Semitic.

or..... what I actually say.

We are both Most Big Ots.

So sayeth everyone.

re: #131 storagemanager

Another one

Yet nothing Hagee has said is comparable to what Wright has said. For example, in Wright's Detroit NAACP address, he said that African brains differ from white brains, that black English is no more different from standard English than John Kennedy's New England English was, and that America's repeated acts of terrorism are what brought 9-11's terrorism to America. And, at his own church he was recorded saying, "God damn America" and asserting that we cannot believe government denials that America started AIDS and infected African-Americans with the disease.

They are trying to get direct preaching out of scripture outlawed

I was reading an article about an Obama's Un-Disownable Preacher of Hate By Michelle Malkin. She said something that really put the Obama thing in prospective and that was; "What a load of pure unadulterated horse manure".

The John McCain campaign celebrated Cinco de Mayo today by launching a Spanish-language version of its website–and announcing that McCain will speak at the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza (that’s “The Race”). The campaign justifies his appearance by framing it as a gesture of inclusiveness and outreach that is “part of his commitment to talking with all Americans.” Yes, they see it as an act of tolerance to legitimize the militantly open-borders, anti-immigration enforcement, ethnic nationalists who call themselves “The Race.”

"Hagee was not calling the Catholic Church "the Great Whore." That is an eschatological New Testament term in the Book of Revelation. Hagee teaches that the "Great Whore" will be an "apostate church" and a "false cult system" made up of all those who claim Christianity yet reject the gospel, whether Catholic or Protestant."

Rahab later married an Israelite, Salmon, and by means of that marriage became one of the actual physical ancestors of Jesus Christ, through King David (see also The Chosen People):

"and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, and Jesse the father of David the king." (Matthew 1:5-6 RSV)

When You're Evil Lyrics

When the Devil is too busy
And Death's a bit too much
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
To the Gentlemen I'm Miss Fortune
To the Ladies I'm Sir Prize
But call me by any name
Any way it's all the same

I'm the fly in your soup
I'm the pebble in your shoe
I'm the pea beneath your bed
I'm a bump on every head
I'm the peel on which you slip
I'm a pin in every hip
I'm the thorn in your side
Makes you wriggle and writhe
And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

While there's children to make sad
While there's candy to be had
while there's pockets left to pick
While there's grannies left to trip down the stairs
I'll be there, I'll be waiting round the corner
It's a game. I'm glad I'm in it
'Cause there's one born every minute
And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

I pledge my allegiance, to all things dark
And I promise on my damned soul
To do as I am told, Lord Beelzebub
Has never seen a soldier quite like me
Not only does his job, but does it happily.

I'm the fear that keeps you awake
I'm the shadows on the wall
I'm the monsters they become
I'm the nightmare in your skull
I'm a dagger in your back
An extra turn on the rack
I'm the quivering of your heart
A stabbing pain, a sudden start.

And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

It gets so lonely being evil
What I'd do to see a smile
Even for a little while
And no one loves you when you're evil
I'm lying though my teeth!
Your tears are all the company I need

Is it just me, or is John McCain as inspiring left over meat loaf?

Right now, if the election were a choice between McCain and meat loaf, I’d be bringing a knife and fork to the voting booth. No doubt there’s a certain lack of media coverage of McCain’s campaign, due to the fireworks going on between Obama and Clinton. And no doubt a liberal-tilted media would like to keep him on the down low as much as possible, all the way up to election day.

But if truth be told, Sen. McCain seems to be doing little to fire up the electorate. The tragedy of this is that right now, he’s got a clear field due to the aforementioned Democratic debacle. He could setting the tone for the entire campaign, forcing his Democratic opponent to play catch up. At the very least, he could be outlining the stark differences between capitalism and socialism, and why America can’t afford to elect either Democrat as president. So why is he essentially sitting on his hands?

Because he’s an “old school” politician. Old-schoolers believe that while your potential opponents are beating each other up, the best strategy is to stay out of the way and let them do it. Perhaps he believes those pundits who are “sure” the supporters of whomever emerges as the loser on the Democratic side will vote for him out of revenge. Even worse, he might believe a media which loves him when he’s “enlightened” enough to bash his own party will treat him even-handedly once the race gets down to one against one.
