The man who sailed around his soul
From East to West, from pole to pole
With ego as his drunken captain
Greed, the mutineer, had trapped all reason in the hold

FEMA snubs North Dakota flooding.

With possible record floods coming, FEMA has told North Dakota "You're on your own." Given the aftermath in the media about Hurricane Katrina, you think this would be getting a little more play.

If Scientists Wrote Nursery Rhymes

Who can guess the right rhyme?

1. A research team proceeded toward the apex of a natural geologic
protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement of
a sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size
of which was unspecified. One member of the team precipitantly descended,
sustaining severe fractural damage to the upper cranial portion of his
anatomical structure. Subsequently, the second member of the team
performed a self-rotational translation oriented in the direction taken
by the first member.

in ingesting a saccharine composition prepared in conjunction with the ritual
observance of an annual fixed-day religious festival. Insertion into the

by removal of a drupe of genus prune. Subsequently the subject made a

Well, Bush's Katrina "failure" was due, as we all learned from Kanye West, to the fact that George Bush hates black people. Ergo, the fact that 0bama has repeatedly refused to send FEMA to primarily white states can only mean that 0bama hates white people.

If one has an oversized ego and greed in control of themselves, then more likely than not they've abandoned reason, or in the case of a sailing analogy, it's locked in the hold.

A female of the species homo sapiens was the possesor of a small
immature ruminant of the genus ovis, the outer most covering of which
reflected all wavelengths of visible light with a luminosity equal to
that mass of naturally occurring microscopically crystalline water.
Regardless of the translational pathway chosen by the homo sapien, the
probability was 1 that the forementioned ruminent would select the same
pathway.

Never heard of this one before.

Complications arose during an investigation of dietary influence: one
researcher was unable to assimilate adipose tissue and another was unable
to consume tissue consisting chiefly of muscle fiber. By reciprocal
arrangement between the two researchers, total consumption of the viands
under consideration was achieved, this leaving the original container of
the viands devoid of contents.

Did FEMA ever have a good reputation?

I remember the night when Katrina was heading straight for Louisiana. I was watching the satellite loop at the NOAA site and thinking to myself: why on Earth they are not doing a full evacuation of the Louisiana coastline with this monster making a beeline towards them. This of course never happened and the city of New Orleans did not take the warnings seriously. It failed on many levels including the now famous buses that could have been used to evacuate a good number of residents had Mayor Nagin taken the initiative.

Brown was a catastrophe and later blamed the White House and DHS. I've reached my 30 word limit so: the end.

re: #72 Gus 802

Was that a viscous experience?

//

I wrote a poem about it:


Walking in Hurricanes

The wild power energy calls me
And its siren song will simply not be denied.
So, fool that I am, and slave to the electric thrill of experience
I doff a raincoat and dare to venture out into it.

The sky is solid gray and filled
With a wide variety of sailing debris.
The raindrops bury themselves like pellets shot into my face
And the gusts blast with such furious force
That I am at first battered staggering backwards
Before re-stabilizing my balance and pushing ahead
With their ferocious roaring filling my ringing ears.

I quickly realize that it would be even
More unwise for me to walk very far in such a fierce barrage
Than it was for me to brave this mad chaos in the first place
But still I wedge my crazy head-down way through the maelstrom
As far as the road, and the lamppost there.
Clinging to it as to an anchor, I am struck
By the temptation of an insanely dangerous
Yet somehow irresistible whim.

I grip the post as tightly as I can, relax my body
And let my limp legs blow from beneath me.
I am now horizontal: a human pennant
Being buffeted and blown about.
I hang there for a few hazardous seconds
Swinging and swaying in the hellish gale
Then strain to pull myself back to the safety of the pole
And, regaining tentative footing,
Make my precarious way back within my home.

I set up watch at my small and sole un-boarded window
And await the spectacle of the tempest’s full fury.
It is not long in arriving.
My house begins to shudder
And I hear my shingles ripping away overhead.
The cacophony of the wind becomes deafening:
A tsunami of angry air.
I am shocked to see my neighbor’s roof peel off
And terrified by the sound of my own joists groaning.
My lamppost is now bent flat upon the ground
Even before the front yard oak crashes down upon it.
Then an automobile surreally tumbles end-over-end down my road.

Suddenly, all falls quiet and calm
And the sun quite amazingly shines brightly down.
It dawns on me that the eye is passing over
So I once again proceed outside.

Pieces of houses and trees abound.
Destruction is huddled in tangled piles
And detritus is spread upon the ground.
The trees I have left standing are twisted things.
Their branches are denuded and snapped
And their trunks lean freakishly askew.
My car, sheltered inside my garage
Is the only undamaged vehicle I see.
Many of my shingles are torn or gone,
But my home has weathered the rampage well
When compared to the houses of my absent neighbors.
They were wise to leave
I was stupid to remain
And most lucky to still be alive.

Gradually, a rising din begins to sound
Intruding upon my shocked contemplations.
I glance up and see, approaching with fierce intensity
Another slate gray wall, impossibly high
Huge things moving sideways within it
And hurry back inside my dim home.
I will not leave it again until the storm fully passes.
If this hurricane wants me
It will have to come inside and get me.

A young boy, about eight years old, was at the corner "Mom
& Pop" grocery picking out a pretty good size box of laundry
detergent. The grocer walked over, and, trying to be friendly,
asked the boy if he had a lot of laundry to do.

"Oh, no laundry," the boy said, "I'm going to wash my dog."
"But you shouldn't use this to wash your dog. It's very
powerful and if you wash your dog in this, he'll get sick. In
fact, it might even kill him."

But the boy was not to be stopped and carried the detergent
to the counter and paid for it, even as the grocer still tried to
talk him out of washing his dog.

About a week later the boy was back in the store to buy some
candy. The grocer asked the boy how his dog was doing.

"Oh, he died," the boy said.

The grocer, trying not to be an "I-told-you-so", said he was
sorry the dog died but added, "I tried to tell you not to use
that detergent on your dog."

"Well, the boy replied, "I don't think it was the detergent
that killed him."

"Oh? What was it then?"

"I think it was the spin cycle!"

Ventriliquist cowboy walks into town and sees Indian sitting on his porch.

Cowboy: Hey, cool dog. Mind if I speak to him?

Indian: Dog no talk.

Cowboy: Hey dog, hows it going?

Dog: Doin alright.

Indian: [extreme look of shock]

Cowboy: Is this your owner? [pointing at Indian]

Dog: Yep
Cowboy: How's he treat you?

Dog: Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food, and takes me to the lake once a week to play.

Indian: [look of disbelief]

Cowboy: Mind if I talk to your horse?

Indian: Horse no talk.

Cowboy: Hey horse, how's it going?

Horse: Cool.

Indian: [extremer look of shock]

Cowboy: Is this your owner? [pointing at Indian]

Horse: Yep
Cowboy: How's he treat you?

Horse: Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me regularly, brushes me down often, and keeps me in the barn to protect me from the elements.

Indian: [total look of amazement]

Cowboy: Mind if I talk to your sheep?

Indian: Sheep Lie!

A robin perched upon my sill
To signal the coming morn

The bird was fragile, soft and gay
And sweetly it did sing
And thoughts of happiness and joy
Into my heart did bring

I smiled softly at the cheery song
And as it paused, a moments lull
I gently closed the window

120 Salamantis  Mon, Mar 23, 2009 11:57:23pm

I'll post one more poem, then quit.

Playa Santa

I was suddenly aroused
From a late Christmas Eve-ning slumber
By the throbbing approach
Of bass notes pounding my ears.
Hastening from my bed to my window
To ascertain the source of this pulsation,
I beheld a most surreal and eerie sight.

The heavens were ebon with nocturnal rain
Gently deliquescing down from the sky
There was no breezy whisper whatsoever,
And no light leaked
Through the damp cloud blanket
From the hidden quarter-moon.
The night seemed somehow frozen in place
As if it were sitting, waiting in anticipation,
And holding its hesitant breath.

Then, in the road beyond my yard,
A long, low, wide, late-model car cruised slowly by.
Its undercarriage was aglow with the blacklight shimmer
Of violet neon tubes which flashed in synchrony
With a growling primal beat,
Causing purple sparkles to rhythmically glint,
In intermittent fragments and shattered shards,
From the surfaces of the rain-soaked leaves
Which hung heavily from my bushes and trees.
It resembled a fluorescent denizen of deep-sea currents
Slowly floating before me on that dark wet street.

As the auto glided by beneath my streetlight,
Proceeding through its glare from shadow to shadow,
It briefly glimmered a dim and glittery green.
Its chrome mag wheel rims reflectively gleamed,
But its windows had been opaqued with filmic shading
So I could not peer inside
To discern whether golden foreteeth and chains
Shined within the car’s obscured interior.

I began absently musing upon what possible mission
Could prompt this playa Santa
To embark on his mysterious journey
In the dead of a Christmas Eve night…
Could he perhaps be bringing brightly wrapped gifts
To the ghetto homes of sleeping children?
Or, more likely, is he delivering
Merchandise rather than presents?
A craved bag of goodies, perhaps,
To some favored customer
Trapped like a frantic deer
In the headlights of holiday need...

Actual exchanges between pilots and control towers

Tower: 'Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles!'
Delta 351: 'Give us another hint! We have digital watches!'
*
Tower: 'TWA 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 Degrees.'
TWA 2341: 'Center, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?'
Tower: 'Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?'

*
From an unknown aircraft waiting in a very long takeoff queue: 'I'm f...ing bored!'
Ground Traffic Control: 'Last aircraft Trans mitting, identify yourself immediately!'
Unknown aircraft: 'I said I was f....ing bored, not f...ing stupid!'

*
O'Hare Approach Control to a 747: 'United 329 heavy, your traffic is a Fokker,one o'clock, three miles, Eastbound.'
United 329: 'Approach, I've always wanted to say this...I've got the little Fokker in sight.'

*
A student became lost during a solo cross-country flight. While attempting to locate the aircraft on radar, ATC asked,'What was your last known position?'
Student: 'When I was number one for takeoff.'

*
A Pan Am 727 flight, waiting for start clearance in Munich , overheard=2 0the following:

Lufthansa (in German): ' Ground, what is our start clearance time ?'
Ground (in E nglish): 'If you want an answer you must speak in English.'
Lufthansa (in English): 'I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany . Why must I speak English?'
Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): 'Because you lost the bloody war!'

*
Tower: 'Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on frequency 124.7'
Eastern 702: 'Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure. By the way, after we lifted off we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the runway.'
Tower: ' Continental 635, cleared for takeoff behind Eastern 702, contact Departure on frequency 124.7. Did you copy that report from Eastern 702?'
BR Continental 635: 'Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, roger; and yes, we copied Eastern... We've already notified our caterers.'

*

The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign Speedbird 206.
Speedbird 206: ' Frankfurt , Speedbird 206! Clear of active runway.'
Ground: 'Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven.'
The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.

Ground: 'Speedbird , do you not know where you are going?'
Speedbird 206: 'Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now.'
Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): 'Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?'
Speedbird 206 (coolly): 'Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, -- And I didn't land.'

Maybe so but, a lot of these stereotypical "red state right wingers" that Fox supposedly caters to are Nirthers, NAU/Amero Moonbats, and the like. They look the other way when it comes to Jerome Corsi's trooferism because he says a lot of other crap they want to hear.

I fear that now that Alex Jones is targeting Obama, they will look the other way for him as well. Troofer wackos will insinuate their way into legitimate Obama criticism just like Euro-fascists have sneaked into the backdoor of the Anti-Jihad movement.

And finally ....

While taxiing at London 's, Gatwick Airport , the crew of a US Air flight departing for Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a PanAm 727. An irate female ground controller lashed out at the US Air crew, screaming: 'US Air 2771, where the hell are you going? I told you to turn right onto Charlie taxiway! You turned right on Delta! Stop right there. I know it's difficult for you to tell the difference between C and D, but get it right!'

Continuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically: 'God! Now you've screwed everything up! It'll take forever to sort this out! You stay right there and don't move till I tell you to! You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about half an hour, and I want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you! You got that, US Air 2771?'

'Yes, ma'am,' the humbled crew responded.

Naturally, the ground control communications frequency fell terribly silent after the verbal bashing of US Air 2771. Nobody wanted to chance engaging the irate ground controller in her current state of mind. Tension in every cockpit out around Gatwick was definitely running high. Just then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his microphone, asking:

'Wasn't I married to you once?'

Actual exchanges between pilots and control towers

Tower: 'Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles!'
Delta 351: 'Give us another hint! We have digital watches!'

These remind me of this one:

ACTUAL transcript of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. This radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10-10-95.

Americans: "Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision."

Canadians: "Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision."

Americans: "This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course."

Canadians: "No, I say again, you divert YOUR course."

Americans: "THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH. THAT'S ONE-FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP."

Canadians: "This is a lighthouse. Your call."

I'm of the opinion that the reason Fox News has the reputation that they're "so right wing" is because CNN and MSNBC are just SO FAR TO THE LEFT but viewed as moderate in reputation that any semblance of "actual moderation" means they're "extreme right wingers" by reputation.

re: #166 Gus 802

I've always liked this one:

One day, high above Arizona, we were monitoring the radio traffic of all the mortal airplanes below us. First, a Cessna pilot asked the air traffic controllers to check his ground speed. 'Ninety knots,' ATC replied. A twin Bonanza soon made the same request. 'One-twenty on the ground,' was the reply. To our surprise, a navy F-18 came over the radio with a ground speed check. I knew exactly what he was doing. Of course, he had a ground speed indicator in his cockpit, but he wanted to let all the bug-smashers in the valley know what real speed was 'Dusty 52, we show you at 525 on the ground,' ATC responded. The situation was too ripe. I heard the click of Walter's mike button in the rear seat. In his most innocent voice, Walter startled the controller by asking for a ground speed check from 81,000 feet, clearly above controlled airspace. In a cool, professional voice, the controller replied, 'Aspen 20, I show you at 1,742 knots on the ground.' We did not hear another transmission on that frequency all the way to the coast.

Iowahawk reports on ‘Bam Bam’ Obama as he is carried out of the Boxing Ring:

Act I

...The dingy walls are plastered with Shepard Fairey "HOPE" posters. Off stage is heard the cringing, muffled gasps of a stunned arena audience. Suddenly the door bursts open and enters BARACK "BAM BAM" OBAMA, former champion, unconscious on a stretcher carried by his handlers -- cut man TWINKLETOES EMANUEL, manager PAPPY AXELROD, SPITBUCKET BEGALA and SPINDOC GREENBURG. His nose is bleeding profusely, his eyes nearly swollen shut, and his forehead is embossed with a reverse "BRUNSWICK" from an errant bowling ball…as they place the stretcher on a stark table.

TWINKLETOES EMANUEL: Alright, alright! Give 'em some air, you mugs!

PAPPY AXELROD: Can you hear me, Champ?

BAM BAM: We would save enough money... uhh... we would... money save... the ones we are looking for...

PAPPY AXELROD (gently slapping Bam Bam's face): Champ, Champ! Look at me! How many teleprompters am I holding up?

BAM BAM (giggling): Special Olympics... Heckuva job Timmy...

TWINKLETOES EMANUEL: Somebody get me the stimulus salts!...

BAM BAM: Whuh... huh... whuhappened?

RED KRUGMAN: Yeah, dat's what we wanna know! What happened to the kid's uppercut? C'mon, Pappy, we got a deadline for the morning edition!

SPITBUCKET BEGALA: T.K.O., 13 seconds in the first round. Lucky shot. You'll get 'em next time champ!

PAPPY AXELROD: C'mon kid, shake it off. What's the last thing you remember?

BAM BAM: I... uh... remember getting, uh, fit with the new, uh, silk robe... then the, uh, Ring Magazine cover shoot... duhrrr... I remember people cheering... after that it's kinda uh, all fuzzy like...

PAPPY AXELROD: You were doing great, champ! You were magnificent in the walk-in. Magnificent! You shoulda seen the crowd go wild, all the way up until you stepped through da ropes...

RED KRUGMAN: Yeah. We saw it. We also saw him land it square on his own damn glass jaw. How are we supposed to make that look good? Half the dopes in this city lost their entire paychecks wagering on this stumblebum, and now they're gonna blame us newspaper boys.

TWINKLETOES EMANUEL: Okay boys, here's how you're gonna play it. Three column headline, 60 point type: "BAM BAM SCORES FIRST ROUND KAYO. ECONOMY FAILS TO LAND SINGLE BLOW. CHAMP READY FOR NEXT TITLE BOUT."

SPITBUCKET BEGALA: Yeah yeah! That's the ticket!

BAM BAM: I like tickets.

TRIXIE DOWD: C'mon Pappy, the only people drunk enough to swallow that line of malarky are the winos down in the Nutroots skid row.

BIFF OLBERMANN: Don't listen to her, champ! I still believe in you!

TRIXIE DOWD: See what I mean? If we keep printing this stuff our circulation is gonna drop below Newsweek!

TWINKLETOES EMANUEL: Okay champ, let's not let a good disaster go to waste…

PAPPY AXELROD: See you at the Oprah studio gym at 5 AM.
The handlers leave.

BAM BAM: (sighs) I coulda been a contender.

An Air Force cargo plane was preparing for departure from Thule Air Base in Greenland. They were waiting for the truck to arrive to pump out the aircraft's sewage holding tank.
The Aircraft Commander was in a hurry, the truck was late in arriving, and the Airman performing the job was extremely slow in getting the tank pumped out.
When the commander berated the Airman for his slowness and promised punishment, the Airman responded: "Sir, I have no stripes, it is 20 below zero, I'm stationed in Greenland, and I am pumping shit out of airplanes. Just what are you going to do to punish me?"

If he had any interest I think it would be obvious by now. A similar example would be Dwight Eisenhower who displayed an interest in public affairs while supreme commander of SHAEF. Petraeus is very low key and his professional experience is highly regarded within combat command. He'd make an excellent Secretary of Defense.

Yes. He not only had the blessing from the MSM during that campaign but he also had the full backing of the Alaska police union. The link from the Alaska police union went further up the union food chain to include the heavy hitters such as the AFL-CIO, AFSCME, and SEIU.


I thought that would be from the Fraternal Order of Police, which was unambiguously in the McCain camp (might have something to do with his opponent palling around with a 60's era terrorist)...

I've only recently begun keeping track of the various unions. The previous resident at Casa de Fenway was apparently a member of the Communications Workers of America, since I'm still getting their mail (they're pushing real hard for the Employee Free Choice Act, natch).

I only found out last month that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers is now a full-fledged subsidiary of the AFL-CIO. I think the Maintenence of Way, Dispatchers and Signalmen fall under seperate umbrellas.

I've come to treat "history" with a bit of skepticism after watching some so-called documentaries just get it all wrong about events in the past about which I had personal knowledge. It happens in the kids' history books too. I once marked up a chapter in my son's history book and sat down with the teacher about it. She said it had to be fact, it's right there in the book.

Good Morning LGF.
The just-released $2,700 Tata Nano mini-sedan will apparently be the world's cheapest car. It will be powered by a 33hp engine with a top speed of 65 mph.

Other manufacturers are apparently preparing to unleash a whole bunch of ultra-cheap basic vehicles, most for less than $10,000.

They all will have one thing in common - none will be built in North America.

Unless domestic auto workers are willing to work for a fraction of what they currently make, is there any real alternative to erecting trade barriers if we in North America hope to continue to build cars here? Assuming we are not willing to surrender our first world way of life without a fight, we may have no choice.

Quiet Muslim-Only Town in N.Y. Founded by Alleged Terrorist

Islamberg was founded in 1980 by Sheikh Syed Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani, a Pakistani cleric who purchased a 70-acre plot and invited followers, mostly Muslim converts living in New York City, to settle there.

//// Our good "friend and Allie" Robert isn't too thrilled about these groups either.

That has not dispelled the worries of some watchdogs. Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, says the group is making a concerted public relations effort to present a benign face and hide its violent past.

Good Morning LGF.
The just-released $2,700 Tata Nano mini-sedan will apparently be the world's cheapest car. It will be powered by a 33hp engine with a top speed of 65 mph.

Other manufacturers are apparently preparing to unleash a whole bunch of ultra-cheap basic vehicles, most for less than $10,000.

They all will have one thing in common - none will be built in North America.

Unless domestic auto workers are willing to work for a fraction of what they currently make, is there any real alternative to erecting trade barriers if we in North America hope to continue to build cars here? Assuming we are not willing to surrender our first world way of life without a fight, we may have no choice.

Don't think Americans want an enclosed golf cart for transportation. And truly, they shouldn't have to settle for this. They need to reduce the cost of making automobiles in this country. Most of all, they need to get rid of all the government involvement and let the markets determine what should sell at what price.

While I believe in being environmentally supportive when and where you can, I don't think it can be the only thing to be considered for production. Millions of hybrids are sitting on lots unsold while trucks are selling well. People don't want a putt putt. They want the car to move when they need it to.

And let's not even consider what happens to it when it meets another car head on.

The government has been telling the car companies what to make and it isn't working. And by the time this is all over, GM and Chrysler will be toast because the government can't run the local car inspection stations effectively, never mind two of the largest companies in the country.

I agree with what Neal Boortz suggested we do - start registering people that work and pay taxes yet aren't registered to vote and to get people who are registered to sign petitions stating " I am registered and I am voting in 2010".

Yep.

I guess a lot of them do want to keep their donations quiet, I'm just trying to think outside the box. :)

Don't get me started on the media. So many people in my art class just "knew" Palin could see Russia from her house and was "stupid", etc. You'd try to tell them she didn't say that and they'd look at you like you were speaking Klingon...

When you can justify the empty suit being experienced enough for the job, and dismiss the one candidate out of 4 with actual executive experience as dumb, is there really any changing your mind? America voted in the cool rockstar persona and we will suffer from it. Hopefully the GOP learns from this and we never have to replay it.

Real change comes on 20 Jan 13

Morning all!

The Guilted Age.

Now that the properly conditioned guilt-ridden voters have elected the first Certified-Oppressed-Minority™ president, America has officially entered a new Guilted Age. The Guilted Age is similar to the Gilded Age, only instead of being motivated by the acquisition of gold, the nation is motivated by the distribution of Guilt™.

I think with the increased price of oil, and the devastation his cap and trade tax will cause as long as the GOP doesn't run an uninspired campaign like McCain or Bob Dole did they should win. But they should have Mitt Romney giving speeches right now on how to fix the economy so they have a stance and are not just portrayed as the party of no.

Speaking of Hispanics ... I was talking to one of our workers the other day (H2A so don't slam me about illegals) ... I remember talking to him before the election and asking why Hispanics were voting Obama ... he said they felt he would get them all drivers license and eventually amnesty ... well, the other day he said that most of his friends were now sorry they voted for Obama ... why? ... because jobs are being lost and now many are having to go back to Mexico ...

Good morning, lizards!

Most of us are aware of the sickening cesspool that the comments section over at Jihadwatch has become, and the complete absence of moderation.

Spencer, who is obviously concerned that some of these comments might have an impact on his book sales, has posted a ridiculous little admonishment to his minions about their wanton posting behaviors:

Meanwhile, since we're talking about comments, I thought I would take the opportunity to remind you that we value free speech and open discussion very highly, but ask you to remember that you are not in a private room chatting with your friends when you comment on this site, but making a public statement that will be seen by jihadists and their useful idiots and dupes. So I ask you to consider: what is the best way to defeat the global jihad? Not by ranting or venting or advocating positions that are at variance with the principles of human rights that Islamic jihadists are currently attacking. Think strategically when you post, and try not to write something that plays into the hands of those who would destroy us.

The anti-jihad struggle, as I have also often repeated, is a struggle for the equality of dignity and rights of all people. Comments that are boorish, threatening, aggressive, etc., or tangled into knots answering some obvious provocateur, will only discourage thoughtful people who are actually in a position to influence policy from using this site as a resource.

There are books to sell and profits to be made, we must not tarnish the anti-jihad!

He ends his token admonishment with this:

Comments that are genocidal, genuinely racist, etc., will be removed if we see them.

In other words, it's back to business as usual at Jihadwatch.

Prison officer sacked after 13 criminals found to be his Facebook friends, including a murderer!

A PRISON officer has been sacked after 13 criminals, including a murderer, were discovered among friends on his Facebook page.

A photo on the social networking website showed Nathan Singh, 27, with a drugs dealer and fraudster at Cheltenham races, London's The Sun reports.

Singh was a residential landing officer in England's Leicester jail, which holds just under 400 prisoners.

Five months after he joined the Prison Service in January last year, an investigation was launched because Singh was suspected of supplying mobile phones and other banned items to inmates.

The probe, codenamed Operation Earlgrey, failed to find any evidence that Singh was involved in smuggling contraband — but it did reveal his Facebook contacts.

Of the 13 crooks listed, seven had been in prison for murder, drugs offences, fraud, affray and theft.

I did a consult with a holistic practitioner regarding my asthma and allergies, and he started me on nasal lavage. 2 days into it, and I'm symptom free.

As long as he kept the treaty with the Soviet Union, the left had no problems with him, but they stuck with the commies when Hitler attacked the SU.

I wonder how liberal Jews would deal with the choice - stay with their cause and support a Jew-hating asshole, or leave their fellow travelers?

We might find out, although without the concentration camps.

Yeah, that's it.

I looked into the Neti pots (the irrigators that look lke a little teapot) but opted for the NeilMed irrigator instead because it has positive pressure.

It feels odd at first, but you follow the directions you get used to it very quickly and it's very refreshing. Washes all the crud out if you're sick, and any allergens that you've inhaled over a 12 to 24 period. Moisturizes your whole sinus cavity. It's a miracle treatment, and I don't say that lightly.

I'm hoping that it also has some positive effect on my asthma.

Mrs. RS uses the teapot thingy, couldn't remember the name, but she swears by it. Last April, about the time the pollen came out, I got what felt like such a cold. It would go away though, and then reappear a couple days later. Some lizards thought I had allergies to the pollen, despite never having had it happen before. I was of the thought that if you don't have allergies, you don't get them. This year will tell for me, I think. When the pollen comes out, and it affects me like it did last year, then I know it's probably allergies. Then I will use that neti pot thingy.

I got 535 because there were a couple that didn't have the right answer.
For example, the one on leisure time didn't have my answer - watch the Military Channel with my dogs and post on LGF. I guess that would have put me into the most guilt category had it been there.

I checked for more news on the Oakland cop killing this morning. That shooter was one bad hombre, his just got paroled after a six year stint in prison for an armed robbery conviction. Then immediately after his release they had him as a suspect in a murder but couldn't convict him. He was in violation of parole (you wouldn't believe how may ex cons here in CA are in violation of parole!) when he got pulled over. I still can't figure out how the hell this dude got the jump on 4 veteran police officers our what type of weapons he was using. Apparently there were two weapons involved the first I'm guessing was a handgun which he shot the first two cops in the head with. He fled to his sisters apartment nearby where the cops caught up to him a couple of hours later. The SWAT team broke in and used flash bangs but two of them got shot with an "assault weapon" which I'm guessing was a rifle. His sister fled unharmed and, get this, didn't know he was in the apartment because she was asleep! right ...

We have a guy in our civil war reenacting unit that does that bit perfectly. He even has a toy viking helmet to use for it. If you want to truly be entertained, try being in one of our period civil war camps at night when everyone has been drinking quite heavily and have him burst into that song. Priceless.

Hey get over it, he won. /

Afro, you're not going to believe the good news about Willie. The turnwife called the vet about his glazed over eyes and the vet recommended we see a doggie ophthalmologist. She said no way are we spending a lot of money, can't you just take a quick look at him? She took him in and it turns out he just has some bad scratches on both eyes (how this happened I have no clue - might have been the pup tinky pumpkin that did it). At any rate the scratched eyes are slow to heal at his age but they are going to heal just fine! Plus he gave him a clean bill of health otherwise, no tumors or heart problem. He should only weight about 10 to 12 lbs but the little toad weights 15.5 pounds. We are so happy.

He could live to be 18. Dalmatian the longest I have seen was 15 years. It looked terrible. When they get old their spots start to fade and it is not too pretty. 10-12 years is average. One of my babies made it to 8, the one I just put down was 13 which was great for a dog that size.

House bonus bill is buried by the Senate

Despite the public outcry over $165 million in bonuses awarded at troubled insurer AIG, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) showed little inclination Monday to bring the explosive issue to the floor this week or next. Instead, Reid is likely to delay action on executive compensation until late April, after the Senate returns from a two-week recess starting April 4.

The lack of enthusiasm to expedite the bonus legislation comes after Obama said over the weekend that he didn’t think it was a good idea for Congress to target individuals with tax proposals.

I hope you don't mind me answering cause I am a she-lizard - but I am a skin care professional.

The best thing I have seen work is a good bar of olive oil based soap (tea tree or peppermint is best). Also, try to shave with the grain of the beard first, then against. Works good for extra sensitive skin.

Also a tea tree oil product for during and after you shave works wonders. There are also some products avaiable at beauty supply stores made just for razor bump prevention.

Obama is now lying about the D's upcoming confiscatory tax increases:

[Link: pajamasmedia.com...]

Reality:

Taxes are going up. Sometimes directly, as “on the rich.” Sometimes indirectly, as the savings of the middle class are inflated away. And mostly way-indirectly, as the poor are kept poor thanks to Obama’s budgets putting the economy on permanent slowdown.

Seriously, try washing your face with soap and water first; then apply a good shaving cream (those gels suck,IMO - I use Gillette Foamy regular) and frequent washing off of the blade razor with hot water helps a lot, then rinse face with COLD, COLD water afterwards - no soap!

As I approach 40, I am looking for anti-aging skin care for black women? I have been using DDF and Perricone MD from Sephora. I love them but I want to tighten my pores.

I know you don't want to hear, but you can't really tighten pores permanently. Just temporary with cold water or an astringent (vaso-constrictor). You could get a few chemical peels (35% acid or less is good), or use a good product with glycolic acid (Perricone is good - check the ingredients). Large pores mean less wrinkles. Black skin is very soft and resilient so generally there is less wrinkling. Hyperpigmentation (age spots) is what makes skin look old. The acid products will resurface and reduce the age spots.

It is very hard to guess a black woman's age. Ya'll are lucky.

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. I see that the MTA approved its massive fare hikes, but one of the board members had something much better to do than sit there and be bothered with her job responsibilities.

The boyfriend? Sir Paul McCartney.

This is just yet another symptom of the dysfunction in government and public agencies to provide the services that we rely upon.

Yes, we are serving them now, not the other way around.

Hi sharm. We have three dogs and they really keep themselves entertained well, plus we have a huge yard they can run in. So fortunately we don't need to send any of them to a play area. I don't think the turnwife would want to part with any of them for one minute anyway. Plus we're pretty lucky when we go out of town, our cottage tenant watches the animals and they adore her.

Rasmussen, one of the more reliable pollsters- shows Obama's approval numbers are trending downward.

[Link: www.rasmussenreports.com...]

True, that's why 538 weighs all the polls to even out the extremes. i.e. gallup is at 65% and that's on the high side. The average is in the low 60's.

"These Internet polls, simply put, are not scientific and should not be published by any legitimate news organization, at least not without an asterisk the size of an Alex Rodriguez steroidal syringe.But I'll bet you that Matt Drudge already has the siren cued up by now."

Yeah, I would never have just one because they would get really bored. I raised a litter of labs one time and gave my bro a beautiful white lab puppy. He's single and works all day so the dog was left alone in the backyard all day. Needless to say when he would get home "Rufus" would have this huge trophy pile waiting for him. He would chew up stuff like sprinklers, law mower wires, bags of charcoal, you name it and have it all piled up in one big heap ready for his master. I eventually took the dog back and sold him to a guy at work. Best dog the guy ever had he told me.

re: #860 avanti

You made my point, Zogby had Obama winning states he lost, they did a poor job. That's why 538 does a statistical analysis of all the polls, weighing them based on accuracy and comes up with a average number. You can post one at 54%, and I can find one at 65%, but the truth probably lies in the middle, not at the extremes we pick based on our politics.

Puleeeze, you expect me to believe after an entire elecion season of skewed results that any of us REALLY put stock in the actual numbers. . .I was remarking at your complete inability to see the folly in them at all. . .and how quick you are to refute poll numbers you do not like. . .

During the election Rass was skewed and hailed as an expert. . .I along with others are just remarking on the fact that the sheep may be on to someting about their "leader"

we, the lizards, have been wise to the Poll numbers circle jerk by Team Obama for a looooooong time. . .

Fellow Opera lovers, The Metropolitan Opera broadcasts on Saturdays usually around noon eastern time. For more information go to www.operainfo.org.

The Met is finishing up their current season with the Ring cycle. Granted Wagner ain't everyone's taste, and he was a bigoted schmuck, but the melodies and lyrics are pretty good to listen to.

Sorry. My Firefox locked up and I had to restart ...
If you are in an area where you can get WCPE FM radio, they also carry the Met broadcasts every Saturday. However it is not nearly the experience as is live opera.
As far as Wagner is concerned, I find it hard to stomach his anti-semitism, but my son likes some of his works. I am blessed with a teenage son whose favourite piece is Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #2. So I do not complain about his loud music.

Palestinian Group Wins Astrid Lindgren Prize


By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: March 24, 2009
Filed at 9:10 a.m. ET

STOCKHOLM (AP) -- The Swedish Arts Council says it has named a Palestinian organization that promotes children's reading as the 2009 winner of the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award for Literature.

The annual award is the world's largest children's book award and includes a cash prize of 5 million kronor ($620,000). It is named after late Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren.

The Palestinian Tamer Institute For Community Education was awarded for its work to promote reading on the West Bank and in Gaza. Tuesday's citation honored its ''unusual breadth and versatility.''

Each year it organizes a national reading campaign, including discussions about literature, drama and writing activities.

The prize will be handed out by Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria in a ceremony on June 2.

Ditto- I only turn the TV on for a big news event, and a little sports here and there. It's very liberating to not have TV dictating my time.

Most of the hatred comes from anti-"welfare" idiots who resent the fact that she is utilizing public assistance to help care for her brood. So freaking what? Whether you agree with her decision to keep all eight of the fetuses or not, these children deserve to be fed, and clothed and properly housed.

I disagree with you. Lots of people in the midle east are educated and literate but believe the most stupid things (all the jews stayed home on 9/11, there are zionist plots everywhere, etc...) Just being literate does not make the person wish fro freedom. What they read matters.

Of course what they read matters. So which thing is it that I've said that you're disagreeing with? Are you actually arguing that we shouldn't try to foment literacy in the Middle East? If so, that's completely unsupportable.

Yet the town Obama comes from is selling off--well, leasing out--operation of its parking, toll collections, and now even police to private firms--because the government operation is not working.

Selling it off to the people who provide the best kickbacks, no doubt.

The probe, codenamed Operation Earlgrey, failed to find any evidence that Singh was involved in smuggling contraband — but it did reveal his Facebook contacts.

Of the 13 crooks listed, seven had been in prison for murder, drugs offences, fraud, affray and theft.

Nowhere did the story say (that I found) any of the facebook friends were accepted while they were incarcerated or otherwise under authority of the criminal justice system.

The have to preemt top-rated prime time shows and lose advertising dollars every time he does this. It also slows down viewer momentum (or some such term) that keeps viewers coming back to the same shows during the same time slots.

Op-Ed: Defeating Freeman was a patriotic duty

By Alan Dershowitz · March 23, 2009

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (JTA) -- Those who successfully challenged the nomination of Charles W. Freeman Jr. to become chairman of the National Intelligence Council should be praised for an act of high patriotism. It would have been disastrous for the United States to have, as the person responsible for overseeing “policy-neutral intelligence assessments” for the president, a zealot who is anything but policy neutral when it comes to two of the most important areas of international conflict....

Mr. Mixon shot the first two cops at the traffic stop with a pistol, shoots them both from inside his car, then stands over their bodies and delivers a final head shot.

Then he ran to his sisters apartment, where he had an AK47 stashed. Two officers follow him to that location, one bangs on the door. Mr. Mixon fired through the door, killing one officer. The other kicks the door down, Mr. Mixon withdrew to a bedroom closet in a far side of the apartment. The 4th officer follows him through a narrow bathroom door, where he is mortally shot. The SWAT team comes in later and kills Mr. Mixon, but only after he got off more than 40 shots.

Love/ hate relationship with this guy. . .he is, imo, a 'cloistered" Jew- one who fights antisemitism as an idea, an ideology- his book "a case for Israel" was very well written, but I bet he still voted for zero

Well, it's probably 99.99% certain he voted for Obama but so did 80% of the American Jewish population. You can't write off all of them for voting who they thought was the better candidate even though we both think McCain was better. Hopefully, they'll come around next time though if someone like Jindal or Huckabee is the Republican nominee, then I'd look for 98% of the Jewish vote going to the Democrats regardless how many Chas Freemans Obama names as advisers.

Hisis the attitude of the King; everything from the State, and "l'etat,c'est moi."

Well - first the big guns from Euroland (Merkel, Sarkozy) said 'no' - now the Governor of the Bank of England says no to further stimulus plans:

Mervyn King: 'UK can't afford any more stimulus plans':
'The Governor of the Bank of England today fired a warning shot at the Government over taking any further tax and spending measures to try to jump-start the economy.
In a clear signal to the Chancellor that he doubts whether a second so-called "fiscal stimulus" can be afforded, Mervyn King told the Commons Treasury Select Committee: "I am sure the Government will want to be cautious in this respect. There is no doubt that we are facing very large fiscal deficits over the next two to three years." '

So, the incompetent Treasury Department, which is barely staffed because Obama can't proffer nominees, is seeking the power to seize and liquidate companies on its own.

Sorry, but there is a mechanism to liquidate failing companies - it's called bankruptcy, and it's worked just fine. The government wants to control which companies live and die, and that's a power I'm not comfortable with given that these same government types have repeatedly failed to properly figure out the valuation and net worth of institutions. They got Citigroup, WaMu, and Wachovia wrong - when trying to force sales and demanding mergers. WaMu is suing the feds for lowballing their value. Wells Fargo had to sue to get Wachovia when the feds lowballed Wachovia and overvalued and overestimated Citigroup's stability.

All those mistakes have consequences. Instead of letting the markets decide the values, the government wants to do that for us. That's a massive mistake.

But the mission here seems very, very strange, and not in line with traditional politicking at all. The creepy, ubiquitous Obama logo on their material gives the game away. They’re not supporting the economic policies, which by the way have yet to be fully explained. How can they encourage people to support Obama’s economic policies when even the Obama administration has trouble articulating them and providing details? And even if they could, the omnibus budget bill and Porkulus have already passed Congress and been signed into law. So why do they need a door-to-door campaign?

When she hired a publicity agent, she put herself into the spotlight. She is fair game for comments.

Sorry, I don't buy into the "media whore/babies-for-cash meme that so many people here seem to buy into and vigorously enjoy.

She hired an agent, what's wrong with that? She had a lot of interviews being offered, absolutely no experience with the media, and no idea how to handle the situation with so much on her plate. It was necessary for her to hire some help.

Sure, she's fair game for comments. She's a public figure, whether it was her intention to be one or not.

But she's literally become a magnet for mysogenists, and some of the comments that I read are just putrid...absolutely sickening. Expecially when they come from other women.

When I see them here, I'm going to damned well say something.

Yeah I suppose it's been a lot of fun for some people here, having joke after joke at her expense.

But don't you think that it's time to leave the poor woman alone, Mandy, and let her do what she needs to do to take care of her children without the death threats and constant media harassement? Enough, already.

Oregon One Step Closer to On-line Voter Registration

On Friday, March 20, the Oregon House of Representatives passed a bill authorizing on-line voter registration. The Secretary of State hopes to have a system in place soon, if it passes the Senate.

"I was very pleased by the vote in the House and we're delighted they were able to pass it. We're looking forward to having a good hearing and hopefully getting the votes we need in the Senate to pass House Bill 2386." House Bill 2386 authorizes on-line registration for voters in Oregon. Secretary of State Kate Brown dismisses speculation that on-line voting will quickly follow, " I think, in terms of technology, we're several years away from on-line voting. But, it's a wonderful way, particularly for young Oregonians, to get registered to vote." If passed by the Senate Brown thinks they could have a mechanism up and running by the end of this year using the Department of Motor Vehicles system. Only people with an Oregon drivers license will be eligible to register on-line and the state would use the signature on file for validation.

I predict Oregon will vote for Obama in '12 with 186% of the vote.

I agree. It's completely appropriate to express outrage at the doctor who treated her, and this should absolutely be done to prevent this from ever happening again.

The children deserve sympathy and support, and Nadya herself deserves both support and respect for refusing to murder her babies when she realized how many she was carrying.

Who knows what will happen with this case? She may decide on adoption for some of them. The state may have to step in and move some of them to foster care, if she is completely overwhelmed.

If on the other hand that state determines that she is actually able to raise them all and parent them adequately, a lot of people will be eating their words.

Nadya Suleman is a private citizen, not a celebrity. It's completely inappropriate IMO for absolute strangers to be battering this woman with mysogenistic statements, making public comments about her "mental health" status (which is nothing less than defamation), and determining from afar without any facts or information whatsoever, that she's unfit to parent her own children.

There are other people in place who are qualified to make those assessments.

You and I are not.

Good morning LGF. Obama was invited to give the commencement at Notre Dame. I think I got his speech through a time portal or something:

“Esteemed Professors and staff of Notre Dame University… parents and friends of graduates… and class of 2009, Welcome to the commencement ceremonies.
“Congratulations to the graduates on all your hard work.” (Pause for applause) “Further congratulations if you’ve managed to make it through this great university debt free. Of course, like all future taxpayers, you will have plenty of debt handed to you by my administration.” (pause for laughter) “Of course, we know whose fault that is. I would like to encourage you, as you start out your careers in this hard time to cling to you faith, as taught to generations of others at Notre Dame. Faith in yourself, faith in your well-organized communities, perhaps faith in God, be it Allah, Vishnu, Buda, or, you know, the Christian one, mine. But most importantly, faith in government. Under my guidance, your government is hard at work easing the desolate valleys that life sometimes makes us walk, by leveling the mountains of opulence that some are born to. Our goal is realize the American dream of our fore-parents for every American of a life equal to all others, a somnolent level of comfort without the burden of choices or consequences. (Pause for applause)
“Some, usually out of selfish greed like the Republicans Rush Limbaugh (Pause for booing and hissing) leads, argue that these valleys of life build character and the peaks provide goals. But as demonstrated by my cabinet and the other dedicated Democratic congressmen, in the America that we’ve been waiting for we will end forever discrimination on the basis of character. (Pause for applause) And surely your goals are loftier than mere economic triumphs. All Americans should work to serve others. My good Catholic friend, the First Woman Speaker Nancy Pelosi, assures me that Notre Dame, like any Catholic authority, will stress the need to work towards social justice, like volunteering at Planned Parenthood or serving the homeless by including every possible and potential member of that community in our census under Obama corps." (Pause for applause)
“Speaking of which, I know that there has been some talk by mean-spirited foes of progress about our speaking together here today. It is claimed that I am somehow not “Pro-life”. Protecting life is important to me, but so is the constitution. In Barak America, we cannot let our particular values or creeds restrict the freedoms of others in this nation we share. Women must be allowed choice in their bodies and in determining the utility of their product of conception at any point, as in all other areas of life, except of course those deemed harmful to society, like the setting of their thermostat, what to drive, what to eat, what to say to protected classes of victims, what to do with the money that they have earned for the community—which is of course disgracefully low compared to men—how to defend themselves, and so forth. (Pause for applause). Indeed, forcing women to carry unwanted pieces of tissue is involuntary servitude in the ways that a 90% tax on politically opportunistic targets is not; these values are shared by all decent people, be they the catholic scholars here at Notre Dame, the ... enthusiastic preachers and teachers at Trinity United, my own Christian Church, or the Muslims, Buddists, Athiests, Hindus, and other people of faith. (Pause for applause)
“In closing, I would just like to say that I’m Barak Obama (pause for applause) and I approve this message.” (Pause for applause) “Thank you, and good luck.” (Extended pause for applause)

re: #1349 outsidephilly

I don't question her 'fitness' as a parent.
I do, however, 'see' the matters at hand, i.e., cooking, feeding, laundry, daily household tasks, food shopping, doctor visits, homework, bath time, attending to each child's needs - that's a fraction of her responsibilities.
What if she gets sick?

Then she gets sick.

Look... she's in the process of putting a good support system in place, and her parents have agreed to help out in the meantime. It's time to give the poor family some space and some privacy, and let them do what they have to do.

These are newborn infants, and Ms. Suleman is a new mother. They have a lot on their plate right now, and the idiots who feel compelled to stand around criticising and biotching without offering practical help or even a word of support to this family need to step back and STFU.

The state is actively involved, and giving them adequate supervision as it should.

Good enough for now.

Depends on the issue, for her firing free help and anything else that keeps her in the spotlight, yes we do.

Without factual information, no... you don't.

For the government having the ability to intrude into private lives and decide who is a fit parent, there should always be time to talk about that.

Sure.
But that's not really the purpose of your post here, is it?

Oh the stuff the Lizard Nation learns here. How to shave. Proper skin care techniques. This place ROCKS!

And Mandy will demonstrate the proper way to whack trolls with a clue-by-four! Buzzsawmonkey for cunning lyrical modifications (you thought i was going to say cunning linguistics, didn'tcha?) and a plethora of posters for jokes and witty comments (I've used several already at a couple of meetings and they have gone over very well!). We have chefs and all sorts of other folks here that make life bearable. This place KICKS MAJOR A$$!
