Ya gotta do what ya gotta do
Recently a routine police patrol was parked outside a bar in Donegal Town.
After last call, the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so apparently intoxicated that he could barely walk. The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing.
After what seemed an eternity, in which he tried his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car and fall into it. He sat there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off.
Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off; it was a fine, dry summer night, flicked the blinkers on and off a couple of times, honked the horn and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little, and then remained still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patrons' vehicles left.
At last, when his was the only car left in the parking lot, he pulled out and drove slowly down the road. The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now started up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, and promptly pulled the man over and administered a breathalyser test.
To his amazement, the breathalyser indicated no evidence that the man had consumed any alcohol at all! Dumbfounded, the officer said, "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the police station. This breathalyser equipment must be broken."
"I doubt it," said Paddy, truly proud of himself. "Tonight I'm the designated decoy!"

I see my pscho neighbor pulled his 5th wheel out of his back yard for his monthly trip up to the mountains. It's a pain in the ass for me when he parks it back there, because then I have to step out of the house to take potshots with my air rifle at the light over the garage of the asshole living across the alley that plays disco music loud enough for me to hear.
I don't know what the hell I was dreaming about last night but I woke up in the middle of the night laughing my ass off when I dreamt I was pulling on a pair of socks and laughing at how much more comfortable they were when you washed the crusty jizz out of them. I mean, what the fuck?
I was doing the dishes earlier and looking out the back window when CharlieGodammit came wandering into view sniffing the ground. All of a sudden he jerks up short, starts digging, and extracts a huge fucking bone, hopefully one I gave him and not a burglar he'd killed and buried without me knowing it.
I popped the window open and hollered "Hey! At least fill the motherfucker back in, asshole!"
I got a fuck you look as he heads to the corner to gnaw the rotten meat off his bone.
Oh well, grass is overrated anyways.
I swear, the worst thing anybody ever did was teach my aunts how to use a computer. When I'm online I can always tell when one of them get online because all of a sudden I have approximately 427 forwarded messages in my inbox. It gets really bad when both of them are online at the same time because then they exchange emails then both of them start forwarding shit to me so I get everything twice. I can tell when that happens by the smoke pouring out of my laptop.

Who's the "Party of No" now?
Not having enough information about the subject (I had shit to do this weekend) I can't say whether I support the governors' proposal or not, but when the democrats just up and fucking leave tells me that it's either their way or no way.
Seems like The Obamessiah was saying not too long ago that everybody has to make sacrifices. I guess the liberals took that to mean everybody but them.
Again, I don't know the whole story but that's the impression I get.
MADISON, Wis. – Gov. Scott Walker predicted Sunday that Wisconsin would lead states across the country in weakening unions that have negotiated compensation packages taxpayers can no longer afford while his opponents rallied for a sixth day in the Capitol in an attempt to avoid that fate.
Democratic lawmakers, union leaders and rank-and-file teachers and firefighters called on Walker to back off his plan to eliminate most collective bargaining rights for public employees. They argued the unions had already agreed to cuts in their health care and retirement benefits that could reduce take-home pay for many workers by about 8 percent, and it was time for the Republican governor to compromise

For all my blogger friends on the Right
I saw the lead-in for this article over at Western Rifle Shooters Association http://westernrifleshooters.blogspot.com/ and thought it was a pretty interesting read for anybody that blogs on the Right.
Does this mean that when I go to Sitemeter after a critical government or Fuck Obama post I won't be seeing a shitload of hits from ISPs that read #00.000.000 with a location of Unknown anymore? Or more blatantly, some of the alphabet agencies with a location of Washington DC or Virginia?
Not that I really give a flying fuck.
And why only 500 fake personas? Even with the multiples that each one can create, do they think that they have nearly enough now to cover everybody that's critical of Dear Leader and his bitches?
Dream on, motherfuckers.
Why Did the U.S. Military Buy 500 Fake Internet Personas?
The answer to the question "why does the government need software to create a bunch of fake Internet "people?" is probably quite simple, and while Daily Kos seems to feel it has to do with attacking progressives, I'm afraid the aim of the purchase is far more subversive and far-reaching. Leave it to libtards to take it personally and ignore the fact that there is an ongoing war against Americans, waged by their own government, that has so far claimed our privacy, freedom and now our economic well-being.
I also remind Daily Kos here that the American progressive is already an extinct creature, replaced by leftist maniacs too drunk on their own perceived invincibility to realize that they're the ones holding the torches as Rome burns. I have no problem with progressives and could probably play one on TV as I believe in crazy ideas like advancing knowledge and equal rights and am fascinated by the sociology of economics, all matters progressives tend to say they are into. I believe gays should be allowed to marry but churches should be allowed to say they refuse to marry them (that's the whole separation of church and state we seem to have forgotten about). Just as the true conservative has been replaced with a holier-than-thou army of Christian fundamentalist freaks who obviously haven't read a Bible lately since the one I read said something about "love your brother" and "judge not lest ye be judged," we are once again losing the battle by fighting amongst ourselves over semantics instead of attacking the true enemy.
But what if the enemy could replicate itself to infinity and invade our most sacred space of information exchange, the Internet? Worse, what if they already have?
We have known for a long time this happens. It's why sketchy IP addresses show up in my stats and comments appear on politically-charged websites that seem to paint the OP as a kook or set up a critical mass of straw men to otherwise discredit the point of the article. I've seen it in practice and it's usually more sad than frightening. Real commenters get so caught up in their feelings they let their emotions bleed through the keyboard. Real commenters are idiot Americans who were churned through our sub-par public school system and don't know the difference between your and you're. But fake commenters always seem to be cool and collected, with perfect use of their and they're and even there. The next time you're trolling Huffington Post, Daily Kos, the New York Times, WSJ, whatever your media poison, keep your eyes peeled for these disinformation agents and you might just see what I mean.
But I digress. We're talking about defense contractors and their weird plans to make a bunch of fake Internet personas, right? The HBGary Federal attack is just a little too complicated to get into here without its own post, so let's just say HBGary's CEO Aaron Barr got humiliated by Anonymous while at the same time being outed to the very targets of his bizarre plot to attack the Internets with fake personas. But the plot wasn't just a sick fantasy in Barr's head, as the following excerpt from a hacked HBGary email explains:
Persona management entails not just the deconfliction of persona artifacts such as names, email addresses, landing pages, and associated content. It also requires providing the human actors technology that takes the decision process out of the loop when using a specific persona. For this purpose we custom developed either virtual machines or thumb drives for each persona. This allowed the human actor to open a virtual machine or thumb drive with an associated persona and have all the appropriate email accounts, associations, web pages, social media accounts, etc. pre-established and configured with visual cues to remind the actor which persona he/she is using so as not to accidentally cross-contaminate personas during use.
JDA would like to take this opportunity to assure loyal readers that she is, in fact, an actual person. TLP can confirm this but won't because he knows better than to open his mouth but he's a real person too. I've met WC Varones in person so I can say he, too, is real. Let's not forget Financial Armageddon's Michael Panzner, who we know is real since we've chatted on the phone and my dear Going Concern editor the Caleb Newquist, who has to be real simply because of the very real pain in my ass I feel whenever we talk. As for anyone else? Your guess is as good as mine.
Anyway. The really bad news is that this isn't theoretical, the Air Force actually secured the rights to 500 fake personas, claiming they'd be used at MacDill AFB, Kabul, Afghanistan and Baghdad, Iraq. Strange, MLM bots manage to do this on Twitter all the time and don't need to shell out huge amounts of money to do it.

0001- Online Persona Management Service. 50 User Licenses, 10 Personas per user.
Software will allow 10 personas per user, replete with background , history, supporting details, and cyber presences that are technically, culturally and geographacilly consistent. Individual applications will enable an operator to exercise a number of different online persons from the same workstation and without fear of being discovered by sophisticated adversaries. Personas must be able to appear to originate in nearly any part of the world and can interact through conventional online services and social media platforms. The service includes a user friendly application environment to maximize the user's situational awareness by displaying real-time local information.
If you ask me, they're trying to hide their stalker-like behavior. Why else would they need a bunch of fake IPs?
0003- Static IP Address Management. 50 each
Licence protects the identity of government agencies and enterprise organizations. Enables organizations to manage their persistent online personas by assigning static IP addresses to each persona. Individuals can perform static impersonations, which allow them to look like the same person over time.
Also allows organizations that frequent same site/service often to easily switch IP addresses to look like ordinary users as opposed to one organization.
You can't tell me our military isn't advanced enough to know how to use Hide My Ass or some similar proxy server, nor can you tell me whoever it is they're allegedly watching in Iraq and Afghanistan (likely story, didn't we win Iraq years ago?) use StatCounter (JDA's tracking software of choice) or some similar tracking software themselves. Since when does Osama bin Laden blog and obsessively track his stats? I don't buy it.

Another Modesto car thief
Meanwhile, Modesto Police Department continues to deny allegations of brutality......
That was sarcasm, folks.
Puts to mind a story in the local paper 10 or 15 years back - a local biker came home to find his front door open. While he went in to check on his bike which was parked in the living room, his old lady went next door and called the cops. When the cops got there, the biker was chasing the thief around and around the bike and the thief was screaming for somebody to save him.
Hilarious......
These boys aren't fucking around
CAIRO – Libyan forces fired machine-guns at mourners marching in a funeral for anti-government protesters in the eastern city of Benghazi Sunday, a day after commandos and foreign mercenaries loyal to longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi pummeled demonstrators with assault rifles and other heavy weaponry.
A doctor at one Benghazi hospital said 15 people died in Sunday's clashes. Earlier he said his morgue had received at least 200 dead from six days of unrest. The doctor said his hospital, one of two in Libya's second-largest city, is out of supplies and cannot treat more than 70 wounded in similar attacks on mourners Saturday and other clashes.
The crackdown in oil-rich Libya is shaping up to be the most brutal repression of anti-government protests that began with uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt. The protests spread quickly around the region to Bahrain in the Gulf, impoverished Yemen in the Arabian Peninsula, the North African neighbors of Tunisia — Libya, Algeria, Morocco — and outside the Middle East to places including the East African nation of Djibouti and even China.

OTTAWA - The organizer of an area coyote-killing contest says he's been given the green light by the province's wildlife ministry.
Not so, say wildlife advocates, who claim the contest's illegal, and the ministry itself won't say one way or the other.
Al Mills, the owner of Al's Corner Store in Arnprior, vows to proceed with his cull contest -- what's more, he says the day the current one ends, the next one will begin.
That's made Mills Public Enemy #1 for animal rights activists, who are livid that one of the prizes awarded those who drag in coyote carcasses is a shiny new shotgun.
They cite the Wildlife Policy Section of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources that reads: "... it is an offence to hunt for gain, or to induce another person to hunt for gain."
Mills shrugged that off. "We were granted permission from the MNR," he claimed. "They've called us personally and said, yes, they're 100% behind us."
But a spokeswoman for the ministry said Thursday that the contest may, in fact, be illegal. On the other hand, she added, it may not be.
"Every situation has its own unique elements to be considered," said Jolanta Kowalski. "In the Ottawa area, coyotes can be hunted year round and there's no limit on the number of animals one can kill. But each situation has unique elements that must be considered."
In other words, charges may or may not be laid.
Damn, Shayne! Politicians are the same all over, aren't they?

This is what happens in a country that has total gun control. You have to protect your family with long stabby things or golf clubs so you "can whack them off from a distance".

But it's a family trip, not a vacation..... Grrrrr...
First Lady Michelle Obama is on “a private family trip” in Colorado where she is skiing with daughters Sasha and Malia, according to an administration official.
“The First Lady and several close friends are chaperoning their children on a ski trip,” the official told the press pool reporter who is following President Obama today.
Reports coming out of Colorado say she arrived Friday night and is staying at the Sebastian Hotel on Vail Mountain. Rooms start at $605 per night for a room with two queen beds and head north of $2,000 for multi-bedroom suites.
Mrs. Obama has decided to jet out to Vail – instead of visiting slopes closer to Washington DC in Virginia or Pennsylvania – despite already incurring criticism for taking opulent excursions, particularly a trip last summer to Spain. There, she stayed at the country’s swankest hotel and, like this weekend, was traveling without her husband.
Mrs. Obama also raised eyebrows in December when she left earlier than President Obama for their annual vacation in Hawaii, incurring added expenses for taxpayers that likely ran well in excess of $100,000.
The trip to Vail, which almost certainly requires use of a large Air Force jet, would likely be much more expensive for taxpayers than a shorter journey by chopper or motorcade to a resort near Washington. Mrs. Obama will likely pay for a portion of her trip, but many costs of a first lady’s travel are borne by taxpayers.
http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2011/02/19/michelle-obama-skiing-colorado/
Shit, when I was a kid our family trips were day trips. And the above article mentions an annual vacation to Hawaii? Just what in the fuck was the trip to Spain? And what about that trip to Florida earlier? The author must've misspoke - he meant their annual trip to Hawaii, not their annual vacation.
I'd like to see, just once, a complete total of what the Presidents' vacations have cost the American taxpayers, and I mean a complete total including lodging, transportation, boarding costs for that stupid looking dog, security, greens fees, extra-soft asswipe, the cost of disrupting real Americans' lives to allow for them to travel unimpeded through towns, every-motherfucking-thing that is directly or indirectly associated with their many vacations. Hell, I'd even settle for a rough guesstimate with a + or - factor of a few hundred thousand bucks.
I wouldn't even consider taking a vacation that would put me into debt, but Wingnut and BoobyBelt don't have a problem digging us in a little deeper every 2 or 3 months.
Hey, I ain't begrudging anybody a vacation, but fuck, let's keep them down to a reasonable number like 1 a year. And budget 'em out. Cut corners and eat a goddam chicken leg instead of caviar for a change, huh? Try to keep in mind you're doing all this on my motherfucking dime.
Sonofafuckingbitch, I can't even afford gas to go hunt a mangy motherfucking coyote and these...... godammit, I need a fucking drink which I also can't afford......
Fuck Obama (for Paul in Texas)

Hell, I'd even settle for a rough guesstimate with a + or - factor of a few hundred thousand bucks.
I wouldn't even consider taking a vacation that would put me into debt, but Wingnut and BoobyBelt don't have a problem digging us in a little deeper every 2 or 3 months.
Hey, I ain't begrudging anybody a vacation, but fuck, let's keep them down to a reasonable number like 1 a year. And budget 'em out. Cut corners and eat a goddam chicken leg instead of caviar for a change, huh? Try to keep in mind you're doing all this on my motherfucking dime.
Sonofafuckingbitch, I can't even afford gas to go hunt a mangy motherfucking coyote and these...... godammit, I need a fucking drink which I also can't afford......
Fuck Obama (for Paul in Texas)

But please notice one thing - the only figures that have decreased is the Present Situation Index, the Dollar-Yen exchange rate and most importantly, the Median Household Income.

My "guest" left this morning once the weather broke, dry and fed.
Other than an hours' worth of laundry and a few meals, I lost nothing. I gave him a few extra things including a sleeping bag and a tarp but nothing I would miss.
He did comment on the number of coyotes he could hear yipping in the alley at night, "almost like somebody was feeding them or something." Or calling them in maybe? I just grinned.
And he gave me a message phone number where he could be reached so he could work off his debt when the weather dried out.
Lighten up on the comments, y'all overloaded me on my earlier post.

Yup, another kind and tolerant dictator's fixing to go down.
CAIRO – Moammar Gadhafi's forces fired on mourners leaving a funeral for protesters Saturday in the eastern city of Benghazi, killing at least 15 people and wounding scores more as the regime tried to squelch calls for an end to the ruler's 42-year grip on power.
Libyan protesters were back on the street for the fifth straight day, but Gadhafi has taken a hard line toward the dissent that has ripped through the Middle East and swept him up with it. Government forces also wiped out a protest encampment and clamped down on Internet service throughout Libya.

Pirates hijack 4 Americans; US mulls responses
NAIROBI, Kenya – The United States government on Saturday said it was assessing possible responses after Somali pirates hijacked a yacht with four Americans on board in the Arabian sea off the coast of Somalia.
Pirates hijacked the yacht Quest on Friday, two days after a Somali pirate was sentenced to 33 years in prison by a New York court for the 2009 hijacking of the Maersk Alabama. That case ended in a spectacular rescue when Navy sharpshooters killed two pirates holding the ship's captain, Richard Phillips.
The Quest is the home of Jean and Scott Adam, a couple who has been sailing around the world since December 2004, according to a website the Adams keep.
A U.S. military spokesman at Central Command in Florida said: "We're aware of the situation and we continue to monitor it."
Matt Goshko, a spokesman at the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, which oversees Somalia, said preliminary reports indicate there are four U.S. citizens aboard the Quest.
"All relevant U.S. agencies are monitoring the situation, working to develop further information, assess options and possible responses," Goshko said.
Allow me to interpet:
Because the seizure took place off the coast of our Dear Leaders' homeland, no actions at all will be taken until they re-enter Somali waters. At that time, payments will be deposited in the bank of their choice, apologies will be made for inconveniencing the pirates, they will be reimbursed for fuel and food, and a bowing/nut-rubbin' party by The Obamessiah will be scheduled at the pirates' leisure.

Maybe this will get me into heaven. Naw, probably not.
I've got a pretty good sized back yard with a 4 foot chain link dividing it in half for a couple of reasons: For security reasons and the front half I try to keep half-ass nice. I got some shit stored in the back like an old camper shell under the lemon tree, some scrap iron, shit like that.
This morning I was out picking a couple of lemons for cooking and I noticed the grass was trampled down around the front of the camper shell and there were some scuff marks just inside it. Hmmm, something to keep an eye on.
It's been raining like a motherfucker all night last night and all day today. I wasn't in the mood for work so I called in and had a lazy day. When I let CharlieGodammit out this afternoon he got all squirrelly, and when I went out to see what was up I noticed some movement towards the back of that camper shell. People movement, dammit.
I went back in grabbed my shorty, then went back out. "Let me see some palms, motherfucker."
I guess the shotgun convinced him that I wasn't in a mood to be fucked with. He rolled on his stomach and held his hands out. "My knife's in my bag and I mean no harm, mister. I'm just trying to dry out. Please."
Fuck. "How'd you get in the yard? And why mine? Talk."
"I was doing some yardwork for your neighbor 2 doors down a few days ago and I seen this camper through the fences. When it started storming I remembered it so I skinnied up the telephone pole and dropped into your yard. Man, the shelters are all full, my tent got cut up by the cops and I got no place to go. If you won't shoot me, I'll leave. But I'd appreciate the dry place to sleep tonight, mister."
Remind me to plant a cactus bed under that telephone pole...........
"If you let me sleep here til it clears, I'll work it off, I promise. I ain't no thief. You noticed you still got all this scrap metal?"
"Give me your ID so I can check if you're a sex offender. If you are, be gone when I come back because I'm sending a load of buckshot through that camper."
He gave it to me and I ran his name through the sex offenders' listing on line. Nothing. Fuck, I'm REALLY undecided about this. He doesn't look like a dope fiend (he has more teeth than I do), nothing is missing from my house, yard or garage and something about his actions tell me he's not kidding.
I walk back out, hand him his ID and tell him he's gonna owe me a days' labor this weekend.
As I'm walking back to my warm dry house, I look back.
"You ate lately? Your bedding dry?"
"I had a couple of your oranges earlier. Sucking on a lemon now. I haven't had meat in a couple of days now. And everything's soaked." He grinned at me. He knew he had me when I flipped the shorty over my shoulder.
I went in the garage and dug out a spare sleeping bag, a tarp, and a plastic garbage bag.
"Put your wet shit in the bag. Dinner will be in an hour. Hope you like Mexican."
"Man, I appreciate this. And I'd eat a cat turd if you warmed it up."
"Don't mention it. Any of mine or my neighbors' shit comes up missing they'll find the catfish feeding on your ass downriver in the spring. I suggest you guard it."
So I've spent the last couple of hours washing his fucking clothes and bedding, cooking a better meal than I had planned and scrounging up some extra shit I don't have any use for.
What really pissed me off was that I had already done my good deed for the week on Tuesday when I got a can of beans down from the top shelf for an old lady in the store.

Damn, I'm excited!
I got a new CD in the mail today, "Lovesick, Broke & Driftin'" by Hank WIlliams III.
Damn, Hank III sounds just like his granddaddy and except for the tattoos and long hair, he looks like him too.
Take a listen at him here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uxaf9IfTKDU&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VoU5kmqasY
I first saw him on "The Wild & Wonderful Whites of West Virginia", a documentary on Jesco Whites' family (Straight up White Trash, God bless 'em all) and was shocked on the resemblance between him and Hank Sr.
So the other day I went to http://www.half.com/ and picked up a CD for a couple of bucks and played it while I did housework and danced around the house.
Hank III plays Hank Sr type of music but he also plays what he describes as "hellbilly" and punk country. Not sure if I'll enjoy the punk shit but it sounds like the hellbilly I've seen on youtube is right up my alley.
By the way, if you get a chance check out the Jesco White documentary that I mentioned. It kicks ass. It's available on Netflicks, both streaming video and DVD.
Have lots of beer on hand.........

BAGHDAD (Reuters) – Iraq's capital wants the United States to apologize and pay $1 billion for the damage done to the city not by bombs but by blast walls and Humvees since the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.
The city's government issued its demands in a statement on Wednesday that said Baghdad's infrastructure and aesthetics have been seriously damaged by the American military.
"The U.S. forces changed this beautiful city to a camp in an ugly and destructive way, which reflected deliberate ignorance and carelessness about the simplest forms of public taste," the statement said.
"Due to the huge damage, leading to a loss the Baghdad municipality cannot afford...we demand the American side apologize to Baghdad's people and pay back these expenses."
We oughta tell 'em to go get fucked. War is all about blowing things up, breaking shit, having fun and killing the enemy while keeping our casualties down to an absolute minimum which in urban warfare means constructing blast walls.

Obama to visit The United Kingdom in May
LONDON -- President Barack Obama will make a state visit to Britain in May at the invitation of Queen Elizabeth II, officials said Thursday.
Prime Minister David Cameron's office said it is pleased that Obama has accepted the invitation to visit the U.K. along with first lady Michelle Obama from May 24-26. The trip will come just before a G-8 summit in France, which Obama is expected to attend.
Obama is expected to meet with Cameron while he is in the country, and the prime minister's office said the visit demonstrates the strong and enduring relationship between the two countries.
The White House confirmed the trip, noting it will be the president's first state visit to a European country. Further details on the visit will be made available at a later time, White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
Obama's state visit to the U.K. will be the first by a U.S. president since George W. Bush came in November 2003. Obama was in London for the G-20 summit in 2009, but that was not a state visit.
In keeping with tradition, Obama and his wife will stay at Buckingham Palace. The U.S. president will receive a full ceremonial welcome and a banquet will be held in his honor.
Let's just hope that The Obamessiah and BoobyBelt learned something about etiquette since his last visit - that he brings appropriate gifts this time and BB keeps her fucking hands off the Queen.

Bacon. Mmmmm, bacon......
You just knew I was gonna say that, didn't you?
Fuck islam
Everybody on the left was so excited about the peaceful, orderly protests in Egypt that led to an overthrow of the government.
Tell that shit to Lara Logan, a 60 Minutes correspondent who was separated from her crew during the "peaceful festivities" and then sexually assaulted while covering the celebrations in Egypt that followed Mubarak's resignation.
She's recovering in a hospital from her attack.
Every time I hear about "moderate" muslims and their "peace-loving" religion, I want to fucking puke.

CIA: If caught, bin Laden would be sent to Gitmo
WASHINGTON – What would the government do if Osama bin Laden, an FBI most-wanted terrorist for more than a decade, were captured?
Washington is abuzz about questions whether bin Laden would ever see the inside of an American courtroom or where he might be imprisoned if he doesn't stand trial. The discussion, which on Wednesday bounced from Capitol Hill to the White House, is still mostly an academic exercise because there is no suggestion that the government is any closer to finding or capturing bin Laden, believed to be hiding in Pakistan.
For years, President Barack Obama's administration has maintained that criminal courts were more than equipped to handle even the most serious terror cases, but when faced with that question Wednesday during a Senate hearing, CIA Director Leon Panetta said the administration probably would just send bin Laden to the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The perfect poetic justice would be a young Jewish PFC from Manhatten finding him in a cave, kneecapping him with a pair of 5.56s and a shot to the guts, and watching him writhe in pain before reporting his impending death to his redneck platoon sergeant who would liberally rub bacon grease all over him just before beheading him with a dull bayonet.
I'm just sayin'.........

Patriot Act extended. Thanks, fuckers.
WASHINGTON -- The Senate voted Tuesday to extend for 90 days the legal life of three post-Sept. 11 terrorism-fighting measures, including the use of roving wiretaps, that are set to expire at the end of the month.
The short-term extension gives lawmakers a chance to review the measures that critics from both the right and left say are unconstitutional infringements on personal liberties.
The Senate voted 86-12 a day after the House of Representatives agreed to extend the three provisions, including two from the 2001 USA Patriot Act, until Dec. 8. The two chambers now must agree on a common approach. With Congress in recess next week, there is pressure to reach a compromise this week.
Woody brought up a great point today. With all the bitching and accusations the Democrats did about Bush enacting this piece of liberty-trampling garbage, what have they done to repeal it in the past 2 years? Not a fucking thing. Not only that but now the motherfuckers are going to broaden it.

I shoulda known
CharlieGodammit is just working the fuck out of his new rawhide bone.
All I can think is "Sonofabitch, he's sharpening his teeth......"
So I had some checking done by my vet as to his breed. She did DNA tests as well as measuring molar to molar ratios. According to his tests he is 3/4 American Husky and 1/4 Grey Wolf.
The American Husky differs from the Siberian in size (larger), coloring (usually brown) and the color of eyes (brown vs blue) and the wolf cross is very common with American Huskies as it's not as refined a breed. In other words, my dog's a fucking Okie - American bred with natives.
We're a perfect match.

Two magazines, Country Living (95.99% white readership) and Ebony /Jet (99.99% black readership) did surveys on....
"WHAT DO PEOPLE FEAR MOST?" The results were interesting, to say the least....
Country Living magazine's top three answers were:
1. Nuclear war/terrorist attack in U.S
2. Child/spouse dying
3. Terminal illness
Ebony/Jet magazine's top three answers were:
1. Ghosts
2. Dogs
3. Registered mail (Certified mail)
No Kidding... And these are the people who put Obama over the top; what would you expect?

halal slaughtered meat - another example of creeping sharia law
A reader sent me some youtube videos of halal slaughtering of meat the other day and asked that I post them.
For those of you that don't know, halal slaughtering is ritual killing of the animal where the slaughterer prays as he kills the animal. It's an absolutely barbaric practice - the animals aren't stunned or killed cleanly because the animal "can't hear the prayers to allah" if it's stunned first.
I won't post the videos, they're sickening and I regret watching them but at the same time I'm thankful to the reader for making me fully aware of the process. The slaughtering is done with a knife, the throats of the animals are cut and allowed to bleed out, taking up to 30 seconds to die.
As a hunter that was raised and taught to always strive for a clean and instant kill, I was offended beyond words when I saw not only the way the animals were killed but how they were treated before their death.
The thing is, with the muslim population growing in the US and Canada, you may be eating halal meat without knowing it, especially if you eat mutton or goat. I am not advocating that you not eat meat (I eat meat every day - pig, beef or goat, can't stand sheep) but I think it may be worth considering asking your local market if they buy ANY meat from halal slaughterhouses. If they do, inform them that you'll do your shopping elsewhere and tell them why.
If you wish to see what I'm talking about, Bare Naked Islam at http://barenakedislam.wordpress.com/ has one of the videos I watched posted among several others. Be advised it is very graphic.
Okay, I'm not used to being sensitive and I think I need a tissue.
And I think this is my first ever post without a profanity. How fucked up is that?
