Morning? It's almost time to start drinking here!

An open thread is like

Openness. How zen.

Happy Father's Day, Sen. McCain!

I think it is hilarious. Karl Rove doesn't work for W any longer, but the left still uses him as a "boogy-man".

There are a couple of famous people I would like to meet and talk with, Karl Rove is one of them. Although he is a little blind about Roger Clemens.

So, it's been a year since Hamas took to the rooftops and tossed Fatah to the curb - literally and figuratively - in Gaza.

What do the Palestinians have to show for that?

Nothing.

Okay, that's not entirely true. They have a whole lot of blown up buildings, dead terrorists, and an economy whose primary export is suicide bombers and kassam rockets and mortars that slam into Israel on a regular basis.

Who to blame for all this? Well, MSNBC would love it if you blame anyone but Hamas and the Palestinians who not only put up with the terrorists, but who openly embraced them. No, the media would much rather you blame Israel for the ongoing violence.

I will keep this open thread in a lock-box.

re: #51 Westward Ho

Linky? What happened?

There recently was a death of a 98 year old lady named Irena.

During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist.

She had an ulterior motive... She KNEW what the Nazi's plans were for the Jews, (being German).

Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of her tool box she carried, and she carried in the back of her truck a Burlap sack, (for larger kids).

She also had a dog in the back, that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in, and out of the ghetto.

The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog, and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.

During her time and course of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants.

She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs, and arms, and beat her severely.

She kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out, and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard.

After the war, she tried to locate any parents who may have survived it, and reunited the family.

Most of course had been gassed.

Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes, or adopted.

Last year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize....

She LOST.

So what were the voting stats for Ireland about the EU?

There are a lot of opinions with McCain that I disagree with, but he's the only game in town and we should really get behind him, at least we'll have 4 years to prep Bobby Jindal for 2012, he's the one for sure!

Received last night at 4 am, from someone in British Columbia, with the subject line "Spineless Charles Johnson:"

When are you going to attack President Stupid? I attacked that Muslim loving piece of shit on Sept 16, 2001. And, with the liberation of Iraq, I wrote on your pages that if the Bush turned the occupation of Iraq into an intifada - suicide patrols/minimum retaliation - then the US would leave Iraq like the proverbial beaten dog, with its tail between its legs. The preventable 4000 deaths will now compound, thanks to animals like you. Go fuck yourself.

I'd like to see a "Lizard-Con" in the Los Angeles area someday. I've followed this site since late September 2001, and have seen it go through many changes and have seen many faces come and go.

Still, I'm sure the Kos Kreepz and their ilk would probably send some weirdos armed with all sorts of weapons of mass distraction. Being Irish/Hispanic I doubt I'd be able to contain my temper and would probably get arrested.

Yeah, I've heard that postulation as well, and I definitely have plenty of (grudging) respect for the Lakers as a longtime Celtics fan. The weird thing is, though, that European hockey players have plenty of grit! Last of a breed maybe (along with the Irish!).
