Something you don't see so much in big cities.

Wife wants fish for Friday, so I'm at a local cafe to get takeout. I'm a bad man, so I've already stereotyped the patrons by sight. One table worries me. A lot. Big guy. Muddy boots, flannel shirt. Dude with a face like Freddie Kruger before the reconstructive surgery. Just sitting there, quiet-like. At the table a boy, I don't know how old but less than ten. Kid's chattering away about everything and nothing, bouncing around in his seat, craning his neck around to see everything to be seen.

Their food comes and the kid reaches for his burger. The man says the first word I've heard him speak. Sounds like someone shaking gravel in a galvanized bucket. One word. "Son."

The kid stops, they both bow their heads to pray.

I'm still stereotyping, but I don't think that Obadin has his vote.

This arrived via email this morning.


Letter from a business owner to his Small Business Association

Dear Fellow Business Owners,
As a business owner who employs 30 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama, will be our next President, and that my Taxes will go up in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, I figure that the customer will have to see an increase in my fees to them of about 8%. I will also have to lay off 6 of my employees. This really bothered me as I believe we are family here and didn't know how to choose who will have to go.

So, this is what I did. I strolled through the parking lot and found 8 Obama
bumper stickers on my employee's cars. I have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off. I can't think of another fair way to approach this problem. If you have a better idea, let me know. They're all good people.

I have just about worn my brain out reading all of the political websites and blog. Now I have to put up with Halloween and all I keep seeing when I close my eyes is Beezurk Obama.

Talk about a nightmare, I can only say that I voted for McCain in early voting here in Texas and I've got my fingers crossed.

At least that trial balloon that the Obama campaign tried to float about him having a chance to win in Texas disappeared in a hurry. Being from El Paso is bad enough since it's a Democratic stronghold. I would move to another red state if Texas went Beezurk for Obama.

Anyone heard any new polls today? Not that I trust them, but I find that they are entertaining in their efforts to poll more Democrats and then state that Obama is up 12 points.

Will be opening a fine pilsner beer in just a few moments so Happy Halloween to all of the LGF lizardoids.

I've been living in this fortress of a gated community for four years and haven't seen a kid on Halloween since. It's horrible. All these old farts with golf carts and no families with kids.

Before I moved here, I gave my kids doubled pillowcases for candy and told them to choose candy that Mom liked ... or else. They got the message.

Lizard news: Rare dragon-like reptile found breeding in New Zealand for the first time in 200 years

A rare dragon-like reptile with lineage dating back to the dinosaur age has been found nesting on the New Zealand mainland for the first time in about 200 years, officials said.

Four leathery, white eggs from an indigenous tuatara, which once roused fears of extinction, were discovered today by staff at the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary in Wellington, conservation manager Rouen Epson said.

'The nest was uncovered by accident and is the first concrete proof we have that our tuatara are breeding,' Epson said.

GOOD NEWS !

1. made calls for McCain Pailin,today is Nevada Day alot of people were home. In a few hours of calling,I had only one caller who told me he would not vote. Nobody for Obama. Many had already voted.Spirits were high. there were more volunteers than phones available, door to door operations in progress.

2. early voting stations had long lines ,and cars were overwhelmingly tagged with McCain/Pailin stickers. I think we are going to win the swing state of Nevada,and one of the biggest stickers volunteers wanted was Democrats for McCain. Polls are wrong here and that could mean that PA OHIO FLA will be easy McCain wins.

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said: "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter-bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."

What's also interesting to consider, fellow lizards, if the enormous bump that the McCain campaign received after selecting Palin for VP.

It's telling, that perhaps there IS a large silent majority evading pollsters and keeping quiet, as they do practically every election.

Some of these polls had McCain/Palin up 10 points over Obama that week. Where did they go? Are you telling me that suddenly, because of Palin, that an enormous amount if people suddenly decided to vote for McCain-- then suddenly changed their minds back again?

We know the polls are whack to begin with, but can someone explain this? It's unimaginable that the media's immediate tearing down of Palin caused thousands of minds to change after they thought she was a good idea to vote for. This may just be more evidence of people "embarrassed" to tell a pollster what they really think, based on constant media barrages.

re: #6 razorbacker

Something you don't see so much in big cities.

Wife wants fish for Friday, so I'm at a local cafe to get takeout. I'm a bad man, so I've already stereotyped the patrons by sight. One table worries me. A lot. Big guy. Muddy boots, flannel shirt. Dude with a face like Freddie Kruger before the reconstructive surgery. Just sitting there, quiet-like. At the table a boy, I don't know how old but less than ten. Kid's chattering away about everything and nothing, bouncing around in his seat, craning his neck around to see everything to be seen.

Their food comes and the kid reaches for his burger. The man says the first word I've heard him speak. Sounds like someone shaking gravel in a galvanized bucket. One word. "Son."

The kid stops, they both bow their heads to pray.

I'm still stereotyping, but I don't think that Obadin has his vote.

Hawaii officials declare Obama birth certificate genuine


Health Department Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said today she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally verified that the health department holds Obama's original birth certificate.

Fukino says that no state official, including Republican Gov. Linda Lingle, ever instructed that Obama's certificate be handled differently.

She says state law bars release of a certified birth certificate to anyone who does not have a tangible interest.

Some Obama critics claim he was not born in the U.S.

Earlier today, a southwest Ohio magistrate rejected a challenge to Obama's citizenship. Judges in Seattle and Philadelphia recently dismissed similar suits.

The learned European essayist Fjordman here reviews Ali Sina's Understanding Muhammad. Since Fjordman has been accused of being a white supremacist and a neofascist, some people have also accused me of being a white supremacist and neofascist, because I publish his fine essays on jihad and the Islamization of Europe. So I thought I would take this opportunity to say that while white supremacism and neofascism are wrong and should everywhere be opposed, I do not believe Fjordman is a white supremacist or a neofascist. What many have taken as "white supremacism" is his interest in trying to stem the tide of immigration into Europe, which threatens to make Europeans into minorities in their own countries, and -- because the immigrants are overwhelmingly Muslim -- to create a series of Sharia states across Europe.

Once there came a man
Who said,
"Range me all men of the world in rows."
And instantly
There was terrific clamour among the people
Against being ranged in rows.
There was a loud quarrel, world-wide.
It endured for ages;
And blood was shed
By those who would not stand in rows,
And by those who pined to stand in rows.
Eventually, the man went to death, weeping.
And those who staid in bloody scuffle
Knew not the great simplicity.

McCain is doing well here in Delaware County, PA!

re: #189 Sharmuta

More recently (two weeks ago), the genuinely neofascist VNN Forum (an evil site to which I will provide no link) criticized one of Fjordman's articles about Europe for not blaming Jews for the problem. VNN Forum writers called Fjordman "a neocon jew-ass-kisser who is either oblivious of the fact that jews are responsible for what is happening or is aware but doesn't have the guts to name the jew." They also pointed out that "the Brussels Journal is never critical towards the Jew" and went on to complain that "multiculturalism stops when the Jew is down and out. Those Islamophobic 'nationalist' parties accomplish nothing....I would rather see anti-synagogue marches over anti-mosque ones. The mosques become a non-issue if you defeat the wretched sheeny."

I would rather stand with Israel, and Fjordman, than with those racist neofascists.

Nope. It was Mom's homemade popcorn balls. Once a year, always at Halloween.

I close my eyes and it all comes rushing back. The smell of the fresh-popped corn. The pot of warm thick syrup with enough butter to clog any artery known. Mom at the stove, humming something, reaching up to push an uinruly lock of hair back with the back of her hand.

Got home tonight and hanging on my front door was a McCain/Palin flyer. Written at the top was 'Please Vote!' and it was signed 'Carol'. There was a xeroxed sheet of paper with it. At the top it said 'Community Outreach to New Hampshire Citizens' and the first paragraph said "I have flown from Orange County California to New Hampshire to do everything I can to assist...." and at the bottom of the page in small print was written "Paid for by California Citizen, Carol (last name)"
Just wow.

I just read it... he posted Fjordmann's statements, then proceed to say he "stands with him," even though Fjordmans statements focused on race, rather than culture or religion, which is the issue.

Very troubling indeed..

Yes, , despite his flimsy attempt to repackage it as a natural concern for the fate of his children, his obsession with race is there for all to see.

Last year was just atrocious. I went through about $100 in candy in a little over 90 minutes.

And they kept coming for quite a while afterwards - far more children than I know exist in the surrounding neighborhoods.

the only kids that showed up in our AO were the anchor offspring of the local maids, gardners etc...... so we quit giving out candy or decorating until after 1NOV.

Only 4 kids so far. Worst year ever. Next one that comes is getting all the rest.

On the election side, I had to pick a "personal day" holiday back in January - I thought for a moment and asked for Nov 5th. They were curious and asked why I would pick a Wednesday. I told them that no matter how the election went, I would not be fit to work - either crying or gloating. I am less worried about the possibility of crying. And I also got Tuesday the 4th off as a "voluntary-without-pay" day. I am going to go vote Tuesday and then I am going to go buy (another) gun.

See? That's what I'm talking about. I can't afford this socialist holiday. So I think it's important for the kids to know that some will support their insatiable desire for free goodies from the community, but others of us will be the ones to teach them the hard reality of life- candy doesn't grow on trees.

Hey, did I mention a friend and I won the Halloween costume contest at work yesterday? We won first 4 years in a row ... sometimes just the two of us, sometimes as a group. First time we won we did the Men in Black. Then we got with a group to do Village People. Then we did Sonny and Cher (I was Cher, she was Sonny). Then we did Gilligan's Island (I was Gilligan, she was Mary Ann, and we got a group to play the rest of the castaways). The next year we did Popeye and Olive Oyl (I was Olive) and came in second--everyone thought we wuz robbed. Then we got one other person and played Elvis impersonators ... came in third. But this year we got back on top (admittedly the competition was not that great) playing fitness coaches from hell. Our employer just outfitted the fitness center (which for two decades consisted of a track and some old crappy equipment) with brand new Nautilus machines, a Smith machine, reclining bikes, treadmills, climbing machines, dumbbells, and other cool stuff, so we decided to kind of "promote" it. I dressed up like Coach Hines from MAD TV, although I wasn't able to get a partly-bald wig and just went all bald, and she dressed like a female gym coach with a big butt and hairy legs. People loved it.

Top One Reason Why McCain Might Win
Posted by: Bill Dyer at 7:25 PM

(Guest Post by Bill Dyer a/k/a Beldar)

J-Pod has 10 Reasons Why McCain Might Win, and it's a nice list, worth a glance at least.

With due respect to him, however, I'll have a better list. It has precisely one item on it:

1. We haven't had the election yet. So anyone who tells you — based on public opinion polls or science or guesswork or magic or anything else — that he or she knows what the outcome is going to be is lying to you.

Read the whole thing...

Iran threatens US with suicide bombers

Only a few days ahead of the American presidential election, Iranian parliamentary speaker 'Ali Larijani and Supreme Leader Ayatollah 'Ali Khamanai have launched harsh verbal attacks against the United States.

Referring to the US army's attacks in Pakistan and Syria, Larijani said they would not be answered with diplomatic protests.

"The US method and conduct, expressed by this aggression, will only be stopped by a clear-cut and unexpected response, whose grounds were set by the martyr Hussein Fahmida," Larijani said during a parliamentary session on Wednesday.

Fahmida was 13 when he detonated an explosive device he carried on him, destroying an Iraqi tank during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s.

"America should be aware not to put its huge body on top of the suicide bombers' explosive devices," Larijani said.

On the same day, Khamanai said the differences between Iran and the US were far beyond differences of opinion.

"The Iranian people hate the US… [because of] the various plots the US government has hatched against Iran and the Iranian nation for the past five decades," Khamanai said.

The Supreme Leader added that any nation that would not honor Iran's identity and independence would have its "hands cut off."

Meanwhile, Iran and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Wednesday to set up a joint UAE-Iran committee.

The MoU was signed during UAE Foreign Minster Sheikh 'Abdullah Bin Zayyid Al Nahyan's visit to Teheran.

"We shall push the relations toward a horizon that will serve the interests of the two peoples," Bin Zayyid told reporters after the signing ceremony.

The MoU may facilitate the setting up of a joint security organization between Iran and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), of which the UAE is a member.

The GCC's secretary general, 'Abd A-Rahman Bin Hamad Al-'Atiyya, is currently holding a series of meetings with Iranian officials in Teheran.

OZYMANDIAS

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

I haven't been selfish before, but someone sticking a gun to my head and others' for more national ponzi schemes gets me feeling like clinging to my religion, guns and my money. going to be hiding funds in any tax shelter I can find. 2K in charity last year, which I am not able to deduct is goin' somewhere else this coming year.

I was part of a small business startup a few years back - 1 silent owner, owner/salesman, 1 autocad/estimator, 1secretary/accts rec, and me fabricator/foreman of myself and 5% off the books owner.
500K in first 6 months, 1 million in the 2nd 6 months and up to 8 guys in the shop. But we barely made payroll most of the time and you bet quarterlies were a massive kick in the nuts for the owners of a small s-corp with our on the book profits - basically eliminated what little there was. so great lets jack that up.

re: #335 whiterasta

Ok. last week I had the nerve to point out that Colin Powell is a patriotic American and I was cursed roundly for my opinion.

I still think Powell is a patriotic American for the following reasons:

He is joining the winning side and that may not be a bad thing. The man is canny and obviously has great survival instincts.

He has vast experience in the dirty business known as international diplomacy.

Who would you rather be defense Secretary, Powell, or Bill Ayers?

Are you really arguing that being "canny" and a "survivor" is to be respected, or even honored with the Patriot title? Doing the "dirty business of international diplomacy" (read, roll with it) is somehow a testament to his patriotism? You really do dishonor to those who do have principals.

As for the Ayers comparative that is just a silly straw man and you know it.

It is clear, at least to me, that Powell has thrown in where he sees he is personally best served. I don't think it is race. I do think it is petty revenge.

I am left with none, zero, zilch respect for this man.
