re: #4 wolfie

I disagree. Fear the shoverbot.

Absurd as it may seem, I'm now plowing through the hundreds of emails I got in 2006 about my "Reuters Photo Fraud" page -- yes, replying to people two years after it's too late -- and updating my essay here and there. I just opened an email I got on August 18, 2006, laughed aloud, and made this little addition at the very bottom of the page, in the "Additional Links" section:

Not a link, but a funny final footnote nonetheless: zombietime reader Philip S. points out that if you rearrange the letters of

"Adnan Hajj from inside Reuters, Inc."

you get

"Man 'errs' for jihad; End an injustice!"

I only wish I had opened that email sooner!

In honor of that last thread, I am watching "Saving Private Ryan"

Since Google is now participating in eliminating anti-obama blogs it might be a good idea to move on to a different homepage. Google IG has been indispensible for me up till now, but now Netvibes does the same thing, and more, with more features.

Accidental fungus leads to promising cancer drug

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A drug developed using nanotechnology and a fungus that contaminated a lab experiment may be broadly effective against a range of cancers, U.S. researchers reported on Sunday.

The drug, called lodamin, was improved in one of the last experiments overseen by Dr. Judah Folkman, a cancer researcher who died in January. Folkman pioneered the idea of angiogenesis therapy -- starving tumors by preventing them from growing blood supplies.

Lodamin is an angiogenesis inhibitor that Folkman's team has been working to perfect for 20 years. Writing in the journal Nature Biotechnology, his colleagues say they developed a formulation that works as a pill, without side-effects.

No! Don't do it!

At the center of our being is a point of nothingness which is untouched by sin and by illusion, a point of pure truth, a point or spark which belongs entirely to God, which is never at our disposal, from which God disposes our lives, which is inaccessible to the fantasies of our own mind or the brutalities of our own will. This little point of nothingness and of absolute poverty is the pure glory of God in us. It is, so to speak, His name written in us…It is like a pure diamond, blazing with the invisible light of heaven. It is in everybody, and if we could see it we would see these billions of points of light coming together in the face and blaze of a sun that would make all the darkness and cruelty of life vanish completely.

Thomas Merton.

Now, this point is inaccessible to the blandishments of which Eric Hoffer speaks; let's try to get there.

I was using google/ig to keep everything together but can't support them in any way any more.

Saw an Obamaton out shopping yesterday with a big "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN" on her shirt. Or was it "Hope we can believe in"? And then there were at least two cars with Obama '08 stickers, one of which spoofed the "Got Milk?" ad, by saying "Got Hope?". This sticker was across the trunk lid from "01-29-09 Bush's last day!".

It must be blissful to be so dumb as to think that the Messiah has come, that his ascension has a date attached to it, and that all will be right with the world if you just believe.

In the old days, they called that "religion", not "politics".

17 injured by live ammo at open day

FOUR people including a child were in a critical condition today after live bullets were used instead of blanks during a French special forces open day, army and regional officials said.

Seventeen people were injured in total.

Fifteen civilians and two soldiers were injured in the incident, of which the details remained unclear, involving a demonstration by members of a marines parachute regiment of hostage liberation exercises, a regional authority, Bernard Lemaire, said.

Four of the 17 were seriously injured, with two described as critical following "incomprehensible'' scenes at the barracks near Carcassone, in the country's south-west.

According to local authorities, five children were among the injured.

Five helicopters, 11 firefighters' first-aid vehicles and two ambulances rushed to the scene to help the injured.

One soldier had been detained, although no explanation was immediately forthcoming for why the wrong ammunition was loaded into weapons.

In honor of that last thread, I am watching "Saving Private Ryan"

I make it a point to watch the first ten minutes on every June 6th. Curiously, I find myself more affected by the anniversary as time goes on, not less.

I sometimes worry that we may not have that kind of pure courage in us anymore. The guts to stand at the front of that boat, look up at the gates of Mordor, and say "Let's go!"

I started watching the Discovery channel NASA missions program today (I had recorded it last week, hadn't got around to watching it) and it occurred to me that it's entirely possible that the high point of American achievement was the mid-1960s, give or take a few years. Since then we have better tech and more toys, but has anything really gotten better?

It dawns on me they can henceforth spin every news story in the world the same way. Just keep the TV news projected on that section of The Wall at all times, and then instead of reporting on any particular news event, they can simply report on the Palestianians' reactions to it, while simultaneously making us all feed sad about the wall.

Examples:

-------------------------

Palestinians watch with excitement as the Mars Rover discovers life on the surface of the Red Planet, as images of the strange Martian creatures are projected on the Apartheid Wall in the West Bank refugee camp of Aida, near Bethlehem.

...or...

Palestinian watch Lindsay Lohan as she is dragged off to jail for punching a photographer, in the West Bank refugee camp of Aida, near Bethlehem.

...or...

Palestinians can barely keep awake, stupefied with boredom as they camp in front of our cameras for the 34th consecutive day to watch a kitten being rescued from a tree in Poughkeepsie, New York, the scene being projected as usual on the evil Separation Wall of Doom in the West Bank refugee camp of Aida, near Bethlehem.

One-woman peace tour scoots through Seattle

The 2008 Peace Scooter tour was in Seattle this weekend. But there weren't hundreds of scooters or people.
There was just one young lady - and just one scooter.

Her name is Alix Bryan, and she wants peace - for herself and for you.

"Well I wanted to put peace on the map," she says.

So she is literally driving around the nation, in the shape of a peace sign.

If I did a one man 2nd Amend March through Seattle, what would the headline say?

No matter how fucked up your spring was, couold it beat this for a hard-working family from Nigeria?

A Nigerian couple who immigrated to Austin a decade ago thought they had finally made it in America. On May 7, they closed on their first home in the States, buying a $283,000 Cedar Park house that had been headed for foreclosure.

It seemed like a good deal to Bobo and Joy Dickson. They did everything right, they thought. They got a mortgage lender, signed the papers, had the title put in their name .

But on May 14, they came home from work at their janitorial services company to find that all their furniture, family heirlooms, personal photos, clothes, even their daughter's piggybank, had disappeared.

After filing a theft report with the Cedar Park Police Department, the Dicksons were given the news. In a mix-up over whether the home was still facing foreclosure, Field Asset Services was hired to drill open the doors and seize the belongings.

If EVEN ONE delegate, pledged to her, VOTES Obama on the first round, she has a legitimate complaint and probably will have people AT THE COURT with a prepared brief, awaiting only the name of the transgressor, and she could get a Cease & Desist or Temporary Restraining Order halting proceedings, Typical...

...especially if she also includes The Un-Naturally Born Non-American issue and everything she can throw at Obama...

I'm still waiting for Hillary to drop that one last major bombshell. If Barry won't name her VP (and pay off her debts) look for the payback. Its coming. Dead gay lover, secret deal with Soros, something nasty.

Me too.

re: #132 ploome hineni

thanksfor asking

no complaints

here ya go,pal

The story reveals alot of history on our Special ops and attempts at capturing the beast. It also paints a not so good picture of Rumsfeld or Bush. I think this is the absolute worst, traitorous article to date during a time of war. You can be assured that this will become the launch pad for the Dems on a Foreign Policy Platform. This is going to be an interesting news week.

Hey all y'all - how is everyone this evening? I'm a tad nervous cause today, for the FOURTH straight day we've had T-Storms and lost power. Didn't get much rain today, and the T-Storms only caused two five minute periods of no power, but sure left me afraid to turn on my computer!

re: #100 jcm

Interesting, very interesting......

Yeah, I saw someone ask for it the other night and I wasn't going to do it, but when I saw the one posted at his site, all I could think was that it was a photoshop job. Who knows? I know that mine isn't!

re: #142 CyanSnowHawk

Good hypothesis. I still wonder if she will pull some scorched earth thing before it's all over. The party has definitely abandoned 'Good Ship Clinton' and I wonder if her ego can handle it.

Neither her nor Bills ego can handle it.
I believe they both despise BHO.

I think it has gone way farther than her not getting the nomination.
I believe she will, behind the scenes, try to get him not elected so she can say I told you so and step in, in 2012

re: #102 rawmuse

3 McCain signs on my block, including my own. Not bad for SF.

Your house hasn't been egged or teepee'd yet?

re: #137 Typicalwhitey
How cool! It is so different here, since I park on that street I probably won't even put a McCain sticker on my car for fear of vandalism. One good recent development, however, is that my young neighbor, who works in the film industry and had Hillary signs in her yard earlier this year, has re-registered as a republican. Little by little, hopefully people will wake up.

re: #106 zombie

Well, I don't live in her district!

Oops, my bad. (snicker)

But I was talking about presidential signs only. It's a blizzard of Obama Blue in these parts.

Rare is the house without Obama paraphernalia.

Wow man! Obama bongs? You're kidding, right?

re: #97 zombie

I haven't seen a Hillary sign or sticker in four months. And I've NEVER seen a McCain sticker. Around here, it's 100% Obama, all the time. There are at least 25 Obama signs on my block alone.

What's happened to all the Hillaristas in Berkeley? I would think with all the contingents of Womyn that there would still be some holdouts. Have they all been sent to re-education camps or have they fallen under the spell of the Obamahdi?

Just finished this little piece of humor. If anyone has a my.barackobama blog they'd like deleted feel free to repost it under your name.

Introducing the Obama Mood Ring by NeoConHQ

From 1946 to 1964, Filipinos celebrated their Independence from Spain on July 4th. But what are you going to get your favorite Obama supporter for this little known and forgotten holiday? You could give them a Philippine flag lapel pin but you just realized it would clash with their Che Guerva cufflinks.

NeoConHQ has solved your problem with the Obama Fanatic Mood Ring. For decades, the mood ring has been a favorite of preteen girls but now it's become popular with a group nearly as emotional. Your favorite Obama worshiper will love it.

Trust me, you'll be glad you gave them this because, let's face it, it can be difficult to tell what an Obama supporter is thinking when they are not typing in ALL CAPS. The stone changes color to tell you what the Obamaniacs current emotional state is. This ring has been built 4 times more durable than the average mood ring to withstand the Obama fanatic's wild mood swings.

re: #149 Carridine

That's a non-starter. HI provided the proof already that he is a natural born citizen. It wasn't his birth cert. but it was a confirmation of it. Using that would cloud up whatever issue she does hit him with.

re: #637 Capitalistincharge

I am deeply involved in technology that was the subject of a New York Times article this week. We are talking about a Sunday New York Times front page lead story complete with charts and comparisons, and the implication to a lay person is that what they have just read should be a well-researched, informative overview of the topic at hand. It is not.
I’m really pissed-off because once again the Times has passed-off shoddy, poorly researched journalism as “the news.” And in this case, people may physically suffer for it.
The NYT has outlived its benefit to its readers and to society.

Are you trying to tell us that taxing the crap out of the "Greedy Oil Companies" won't solve the energy crisis? No way! The next thing you'll be saying is that transferring massive amounts of wealth from the top end of the income earners to the lowest (with some government bureaucracy acting as the middle man) won't get our economy going!

re: #241 realwest

Here is the quote:

Clark said that McCain lacked the executive experience necessary to be president, calling him "untested and untried" on CBS’ "Face the Nation." And in saying so, he took a few swipes at McCain’s military service.

After saying, "I certainly honor his service as a prisoner of war. He was a hero to me and to hundreds of thousands and millions of others in the armed forces, as a prisoner of war," he added that these experiences in no way qualify McCain to be president in his view:

"He has been a voice on the Senate Armed Services Committee. And he has traveled all over the world. But he hasn't held executive responsibility. That large squadron in the Navy that he commanded — that wasn't a wartime squadron," Clark said.

re: #215 rawmuse
Wow! Be careful, though, MS-13 are the worst. My husband has arrested a few 18th Street gang members, some crips and another kid with an unknown affiliation....got an award for that one from the city of Glendale. The good story out of all of it was there was a guy with the moniker of "Speedy" with the 18th St. gang. Hubby arrested him many times and Speedy would be back in the neighborhood after the questioning sooner than my hubby was every time but we found out years after we moved from that neighborhood that Speedy turned his life around and became a CPA.

I lurked yesterday, so I saw your post about the oral examinations. Those are the pits. Our daughter was a cop, had a depressive episode, waited five years, aced every test and never got past the oral exams with several depts. She is a victim's advocate now.

I make it a point to watch the first ten minutes on every June 6th. Curiously, I find myself more affected by the anniversary as time goes on, not less.

I sometimes worry that we may not have that kind of pure courage in us anymore. The guts to stand at the front of that boat, look up at the gates of Mordor, and say "Let's go!"

No matter how bad things get, society seems to fall apart, and apathy appears to hold sway. There Will ALWAYS be those who will stand up and face evil because it must be done. You won't hear them in the regular day to day discourse of events, but they are there, watching and listening, keeping quiet. But when the need arises they will stand as one and say, "Not while I am still alive!" So don't lose hope, don't worry about the apparent lose of courage. It is still there, sleeping and dreaming and listening. Waiting for the time it is required again to stand. Think of England and the hoped for return of King Arthur. He is all of us.

re: #250 Cartman

Don't look, Realwest!

Damn, I'm getting a flurry of correspondence from people I've replied to (two years after they originally wrote to me) concerning my fauxtography essay. Each email is more interesting than the last! I should have answered these years ago.

Just got the one below. Remember Ezra Levant, the Canadian magazine publisher who got in hot water with the Orwellian "Human Rights Commission" when Muslims complained about his publishing of the Motoons?

Well, completely unrelated to that, someone two years ago sent me a suggestion for my essay, and I finally wrote back to him, and he just wrote back to me. Here it is:

have you seen these short videos of a Human rights hearing [interrogation] of my son - almost 600,000 views  ?

[Link: youtube.com...]

I looked at the name on the email again -- holy cow, I had been corresponding with Ezra Levant's father, without realizing it!

What a world.

re: #247 Macker
Hey Macker! Thanks for that - he is a little fucking weasel for sure. And I loved this (from your link):

"Given that Clark attempted to bomb the CNN bureau in Belgrade and ordered the British General Michael Jackson to engage Russian troops in combat at the end of the war, we feel events amply vindicated our forecast. [emphasis irresistibly added, realwest!]

"With the end of hostilities it has become clear even to Clark that most people, apart from some fanatical members of the war party in the White House and State Department, consider the general, as one Pentagon official puts it, 'a horse's ass.' Defense Secretary William Cohen is known to loathe him, and has seen to it that the Hammer of the Serbs will be relieved of the Nato command two months early."

God Bless you too. Be safe.

Don't you wish we lived in a state where we could carry? I once had a guy with seven tear tatoos threatening me because I busted his wife in front of the whole neighborhood. LOL I would do it again.

ATTENTION ARIZONA LIZARDOIDS! There is a Bloggers' Bash coming up, hosted by Vox (and yes, it's OK with her):

Date/Time: Saturday, July 26th, 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Location: Four Peaks Brewery in Tempe, AZ.

Let's turn this into an Outdoor Lizard Lounge!

We should do at at the 4 Peaks in Scottsdale. That way we can go to Scottsdale Gun Club first and work up a proper thirst.

Well heck, even if they don't want to move it to Scottsdale, I am inviting all AZ lizards to meet at Scottsdale Gun Club before hand. I'm thinking around Noon. Gives us a couple hours on the range and then time to get down to Tempe by 3:00, which is on the way home from SGC for me anyway.

I think I still have 6 guest passes available. You'll have to pay for your own ammo and firearm rental if you don't have a shootin' iron, and if you don't what kind of Zonie lizard are you? (Just kidding). I'm more than happy to let a fellow lizard or lizardette shoot some of my own.

We can carry here in Missouri.
In fact I would venture to say that we cling to our guns lol
