Humor

I checked into a hotel on a business trip and was a bit lonely so I thought I'd get me one of those girls you see advertised in phone booths when you're calling for a cab. I grabbed a card on my way in. It was an ad for a girl calling herself Erogonique, lovely girl, bending over in the photo. She had all the right curves in all the right places, beautiful long wavy hair, and long graceful legs all the way up to her rear end. You know the kind.

So I'm in my room and figure, what the hell, I'll give her a call.

'Hello?' the woman says.

God, she sounded sexy. 'Hi, I hear you give a great massage and I'd like you to come to my room and give me one. No, wait, I should be straight with you. I'm in town all alone and what I really want is sex. I want it hard, I want it hot, and I want it now. I'm talking kinky the whole night long. You name it, we'll do it. Bring implements, toys, everything you've got in your bag of tricks. We'll go hot and heavy all night. Tie me up, wear a strap on, cover me in chocolate syrup and whip cream, anything you want baby. Now, how does that sound?'

She says, 'That sounds fantastic, but for an outside line you need to press 9.'


Thanks to Jimmy M.

Think about this.

He said: ‘It is the first realistic evidence that a new drug can improve cognition in people with Alzheimer’s.

‘However we are not there yet. Larger scale trials are now needed to confirm the safety of this drug and establish how far it could benefit the thousands of people living with this devastating disease.’


So.

1. They take the drug and it doesn't help.

2. They take the drug and it does help.

3. The drug isn't available because tests haven't been completed. So they don't take it so there is no help.

Out of three outcomes two are the same.

Why not just let them take it and say, "Good luck!"

Of course that would mean the Docs couldn't play God.... and we could never have that!!!

Why??

So says Barry Hussein.

The walls between races and tribes, natives and immigrants, Christian and Muslim and Jew cannot stand. These now are the walls we must tear down."


Why?

America is not built on tearing down things, but on building things. America is not built of demanding that we all be the same, but that we just respect common laws and codes in the secular world and individual religious rights. It is when secular laws are rejected... torn down to be replaced by religious and cultural laws.... that we run into trouble.

Why?

Because when you start tearing down the walls, who will determine what is right and what is wrong? Our system has proven the best there ever has been at retaining traditional and culture and religious differences while providing the legal and secular glue that keep the groups together, eventually producing an end result that is acceptable to everyone.

We tinker with this process at great risk.





Monday Morning Quarterbacking.......

is always fun, especially when you have the team's Center telling you what the deal was.

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVY BASE, Cuba — In his seventh of month of U.S. captivity, Osama bin Laden's driver told a pair of FBI agents that it was America's fault that the al Qaida leader was alive.

The message was, ''You had these opportunities, America. You didn't do anything,'' FBI agent George Crouch Jr. testified Friday at Salim Hamdan's war crimes trial.

The United States could have killed bin Laden in Khartoum, Sudan, before he moved to Afghanistan in 1996, Hamdan told his interrogators. They could have killed him after al Qaida's 1998 twin bombings at the U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. Or after the October 2000 suicide bombing of the USS Cole, at the port of Aden in Yemen, which left 17 U.S. sailors dead.

Instead, ''Bin Laden was emboldened.'' So he struck with the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, leaving nearly 3,000 dead.

Algore has returned.

The following Associated Press story (below in its entirety) contains a quote from his address to the Israeli Parliament (to wit):

Obama said Israelis could be certain of his commitment to Israel's security by looking at "my deeds."

"Just this past week, we passed out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which is my committee, a bill to call for divestment from Iran, as a way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don't obtain a nuclear weapon," he said.

However, Obama does not serve on the banking committee, and McCain's campaign seized on the mistake.

"Not only is it not his committee, but he's not even on the committee, he didn't vote on the bill, and he had nothing to do with its passage," McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said in a statement issued Wednesday.

He might have gotten a pass on this one if you could assume he was merely employing the corporate "we" but when he added the phrase "which is my committee" it became an outright "misrepresentation" of his credentials.

Why does Obama persist in padding his resume......... would some liberal Obama supporter please share the rationale with me?

Not having the liberal insight I can only believe he is an ego driven pathological liar who hopes the American people won't find him out before the election.

Say Good night Winston

Good night England.

ALMOST a third of British Muslim students believe killing in the name of Islam can be justified, according to a poll.

The study also found that two in five Muslims at university support the incorporation of Islamic sharia codes into British law.


Now this is after years of trying to "just get along." Of years of explaining that everyone can have freedom of religion, that all are equal...

Yet read it again.

ALMOST a third of British Muslim students believe killing in the name of Islam can be justified, according to a poll.

The study also found that two in five Muslims at university support the incorporation of Islamic sharia codes into British law.


Now you might think that the Left in England just might be catching on.

How stupid that would be of you.

Wes Streeting, president of the National Union of Students, condemned the study. “This disgusting report is a reflection of the biases and prejudices of a right-wing think tank – not the views of Muslim students across Britain,” he said.


Yes dear Wes. Should we believe you or our lying eyes?



A bit of humor

Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement -- not even her parent's nasty divorce.

Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear and would be the best dressed mother- of-the-bride ever!

A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's new young wife had bought the exact same dress! Jennifer asked her to exchange it, but she refused. 'Absolutely not, I look like a million bucks in this dress and I'm wearing it,' she replied.

Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, 'Never mind sweetheart. I'll get another dress. After all, it's your special day.' A few days later, they went shopping and did find another gorgeous dress. When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, 'Aren't you going to return the other dress? You really don't have another occasion where you could wear it. Her mother just smiled and replied, 'Of course I do, dear.

I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.'

NOW I ASK YOU - IS THERE A WOMAN OUT THERE, ANYWHERE, WHO WOULDN'T ENJOY THIS STORY? SEND IT TO EVERY WOMAN YOU KNOW!!!

Barry H blows off the troops... again

Got this from Larry P who is well plugged in.

Here’s an e-mail from one of the soldiers Obama visited.

As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to “The War Zone”. I wanted to share with you what happened.

He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here at Bagram.

As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn’t say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service.

So really he was just here to make a showing for the American’s back home that he is their candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you.

I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders than from one of the Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States. I just don’t understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-and-Chief. It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country.

If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry, but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the news is all fake.

The law.




There are many well known laws that apply to the real world that we live in. I think this is one of the largest and best collections known. Should you have some that are not included, please forward. Some examples:

Cornuelle's Law - Authority tends to assign jobs to those least able to do them.

Anthony's Law of the Workshop
Any tool, when dropped, will roll into the least accessible
corner of the workshop

Barber's Laws of Backpacking
3) The weight of your pack increases in direct proportion
to the amount of food you consume from it. If you
run out of food, the pack weight goes on increasing anyway.

The above also applies to dirty clothes. Any amount of clothes carried with you on a trip increases in weight by 10% per day in direct proportion to the nearest of the return date.

Boren's Laws
1) When in doubt, mumble.
2) When in trouble, delegate.
3) When in charge, ponder.

And my favorite:

Bilbo's Proverb
Never laugh at live dragons.








What Barry H really thinks...

"The senator decided out of respect for these servicemen and women that it would be inappropriate to make a stop to visit troops at a U.S. military facility as part of a trip funded by the campaign.”


Here's the rest of the story.

Staff member: "We've got you scheduled at 3 o'clock to visit the hospital..."

Barry B: "Wow Dude, we gonna shoot some hoops???? Little B ball....?"

Staff member: "Uh... these guys have been wounded....?

Barry B: "No round balls? I can't display my awesome abilities?"

Staff member: "Uh..... Not really... missing arms, legs...."

Barry B: "No photo ops???"

Staff member: "No."

Barry B: "Get me outta here."

Let all the votes count

Rep. Roy Blunt, the House Republican whip, on July 8 introduced a resolution demanding that the Defense Department better enable U.S. military personnel overseas to vote in the November elections. That act was followed by silence. Democrats normally leap on an opportunity to find fault with the Bush Pentagon. But not a single Democrat joined Blunt as a co-sponsor, and an all-Republican proposal cannot pass in the Democratic-controlled House.

The arrogance will make you gasp for air.....

“It is not going to be a political speech,” said a senior foreign policy adviser, who spoke to reporters on background. “When the president of the United States goes and gives a speech, it is not a political speech or a political rally.

“But he is not president of the United States,” a reporter reminded the adviser.


Good point. I would say.

Maybe he's Pres of those other 7 states he visited.

This is what you get when you take a guy who's never done anything but always been told he was doing something. That he was special.

That doesn't work well in school, even less so in non-political life, but the thought of a person as ignorant as he continually demonstrates is frightening. Reality will just run over him. Unfortunately he will get thousands killed, the economy destroyed, the culture accepting Islam and based on his 8 to 10 years comment, he thinks the Constitution is for others.

Norway and cheese and goodbye rights and respect

No sympathy here.

He says that when the imams were there, they had spoken of malnutrition among Muslims. They said that many Muslims are afraid of buying in shops, when they don't know for certain what the different products contain. They quite simply don't get what they need.


Hmmmm. Perhaps they would be better off in the countries they came from.

After all:


The dairy head must stifle a little laugh when she continued to tell of the day they finally could being: They had taken position to meet them, since as dairy head she wanted to greet her guests. when her turn came to greet the imams she stuck her hand out, where it was left hanging.

It became quiet. From below you could hear the voice of the 50 employees who work in cheese production in the little village.

When they eventually pressed their hands against their thighs with unambiguous motions, bowed and smiled, she remembered that imams don't shake hands with women, she laughs.



She laughs?? How easy it is to give up rights and respect. How hard it was to get them.

Wal-Mart

Dave T strikes again:


You are in the middle of some kind of project around the house mowing the lawn, putting a new fence in, painting the living room, or whatever. You are hot and sweaty, covered in dirt or paint. You have your old work clothes on. You know the outfit - shorts with the hole in crotch, old T-shirt with a stain from who knows what, and an old pair of tennis shoes. Right in the middle of this great home improvement project you realize you need to run to Wal-Mart to get something to help complete the job.



Depending on your age you might do the following:



In your 20's:

Stop what you are doing. Shave, take a shower, blow dry your hair, brush your teeth, floss, and put on clean clothes. Check yourself in the mirror and flex. Add a dab of your favorite cologne because you never know, you just might meet some hot chick while standing in the checkout lane. You went to school with the pretty girl running the register.



In your 30's:

Stop what you are doing, put on clean shorts and shirt. Change shoes. You married the hot chick so no need for much else. Wash your hands and comb your hair. Check yourself in the mirror. Still got it. Add a shot of your favorite cologne to cover the smell. The cute girl running the register is the kid sister to someone you went to school with.



In your 40's:

Stop what you are doing. Put a sweatshirt that is long enough to cover the hole in the crotch of your shorts. Put on different shoes and a hat. Wash your hands. Your bottle of Brute Cologne is almost empty so you don't want to waste any of it on a trip to Wal-Mart. Check yourself in the mirror and do more sucking in than flexing. The spicy young thing running the register is your daughter's age and you feel weird thinking she is spicy.



In your 50's:

Stop what you are doing. Put a hat on, wipe the dirt off your hands onto your shirt. Change shoes because you don't want to get dirt in your new sports car. Check yourself in the mirror and you swear not to wear that shirt anymore because it makes you look fat. The cutie running the register smiles when she sees you coming and you think you still have it. Then you remember the hat you have on is from Buddy's Bait & Beer Bar and it says, 'I Got Worms '



In your 60's:

Stop what you are doing. No need for a hat anymore Hose the dog poo off your shoes. The mirror was shattered when you were in your 50's. You hope you have underwear on so nothing hangs out the hole in you pants. The girl running the register may be cute, but you don't have your glasses on so you are not sure.



In your 70's:

Stop what you are doing. Wait to go to Wal-Mart until they have your prescriptions ready, too. Don't even notice the dog poo on your shoes The young thing at the register smiles at you because you remind her of her grandfather.



In your 80's:

Stop what you are doing. Start again. Then stop again. Now you remember you needed to go to Wal-Mart. Go to Wal-Mart and wander around trying to think what it is you are looking for. Fart out loud and you think someone called out your name You went to school with the old lady who greeted you at the front door.




There are bugs and bugs





I know none of you want to miss this.





The fall of England

Sharia law "courts" are already dealing with crime on the streets of London, it emerged today.


The revelation came after the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, called for an "accommodation" with parts of the Islamic legal code in a speech which attracted widespread condemnation.


The Archbishop said parts of civil law could be dealt with under the sharia system but already some communities have gone much further - and it was revealed today that a teenage stabbing case among the Somali community in Woolwich had been dealt with by a sharia "trial".


Youth worker Aydarus Yusuf, 29, who was involved in setting up the hearing, said a group of Somali youths were arrested by police on suspicion of stabbing another Somali teenager.


The victim's family told officers the matter would be settled out of court and the suspects were released on bail.


A hearing was convened and elders ordered the assailants to compensate the victim.


"All their uncles and their fathers were there," said Mr Yusuf. "So they all put something towards that and apologised for the wrongdoing."

Religion of peace?

In my previous post I mentioned that 297 cars had burned during the night of July 13-14. Now it seems that another 295 were torched the following night, making a total of 592 cars destroyed – 150 in Ile-de-France (the Parisian region) and 145 in the provinces. In addition, 98 persons were arrested and 58 were placed in custody in all of France. The figures just for Ile-de-France are 48 arrests and 29 in custody.


Did you see this on your TV?? And if not, why not?

Could there be a connection between not wanting scenes such as the above being seen while the press push their candidate named Hussein??

Ireland needs help

but won't get it from us.

The latest example that the EU has become a snake swallowing free countries was been its actions over Ireland rejecting the Lisbon treating.

Even more amazing is to listen to so-called American elites support this anti-freedom activity, in the name of having only "one" country to deal with. Yes. Yes indeed. Freedom is just so messy.

12. The 1989 Romanian revolution that overthrew Ceausescu was a state security coup to remove an embarrassing icon. It is a sign of success that, while the system went, its beneficiaries and its essentials could be smuggled into the future -and recently in the EU. An amusing symptom of this is that the legislature in Bucharest decided that the health of the nation demands more good news. For this reason, half of the news must be “good”. The experienced Chairman of the committee to implement the policy is no other than Ceausescu’s old “court poet”.


I wonder if our hoi poi notice the fleas?

Baby its cold out side....

This pretty well says it. Damn shame we can't get our media to pay attention.

I DEVOTED six years to carbon accounting, building models for the Australian Greenhouse Office. I am the rocket scientist who wrote the carbon accounting model (FullCAM) that measures Australia's compliance with the Kyoto Protocol, in the land use change and forestry sector.


In other words this guy isn't employed by "big oil."


When I started that job in 1999 the evidence that carbon emissions caused global warming seemed pretty good: CO2 is a greenhouse gas, the old ice core data, no other suspects.

The evidence was not conclusive, but why wait until we were certain when it appeared we needed to act quickly? Soon government and the scientific community were working together and lots of science research jobs were created. We scientists had political support, the ear of government, big budgets, and we felt fairly important and useful (well, I did anyway). It was great. We were working to save the planet.


Yes indeed. Why wait? Especially since the money was flowing.

There has not been a public debate about the causes of global warming and most of the public and our decision makers are not aware of the most basic salient facts:

1. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it.

Each possible cause of global warming has a different pattern of where in the planet the warming occurs first and the most. The signature of an increased greenhouse effect is a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics. We have been measuring the atmosphere for decades using radiosondes: weather balloons with thermometers that radio back the temperature as the balloon ascends through the atmosphere. They show no hot spot. Whatsoever.

If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming. If we had found the greenhouse signature then I would be an alarmist again.

When the signature was found to be missing in 2007 (after the latest IPCC report), alarmists objected that maybe the readings of the radiosonde thermometers might not be accurate and maybe the hot spot was there but had gone undetected. Yet hundreds of radiosondes have given the same answer, so statistically it is not possible that they missed the hot spot.


But what do the alarmists want to do?

Recently the alarmists have suggested we ignore the radiosonde thermometers, but instead take the radiosonde wind measurements, apply a theory about wind shear, and run the results through their computers to estimate the temperatures. They then say that the results show that we cannot rule out the presence of a hot spot. If you believe that you'd believe anything.


Folks that is just plain dishonest. You can't call it anything else. The deliberate ignoring of hard facts and substituting a computer model theory.

So far that debate has just consisted of a simple sleight of hand: show evidence of global warming, and while the audience is stunned at the implications, simply assert that it is due to carbon emissions.

In the minds of the audience, the evidence that global warming has occurred becomes conflated with the alleged cause, and the audience hasn't noticed that the cause was merely asserted, not proved.

If there really was any evidence that carbon emissions caused global warming, don't you think we would have heard all about it ad nauseam by now?


You know, the evidence, or should I say a lack of evidence, that man made GW doesn't exist is pouring in, yet Gollywood and Algore won't turn loose. Given that we may actually be entering a global cooling period in which a great deal of damage may occur their actions are criminal.

ABC takes a swim

Hussein continues to astound.

Today on CBS's Face the Nation, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in Afghanistan, told the paparazzi-pursued correspondent Lara Logan that "the objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people like President Karzai or Prime Minister Maliki or President Sarkozy or others who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to 10 years.


I guess that Harvard degree isn't worth what we thought it was.

So now we have Hussein opining about 57 states and serving 10 years. Two colossal foot in the mouth that would destroy any Repub candidate. Yet let's see what ABC's Jake Trapper has to say:

The notion that Obama will be dealing with world leaders for eight-to-ten years, possibly up through July 2018, suggests that either (a) he believes that not only will he be elected and re-elected, but the 22nd amendment will be repealed and he will be elected for a third term, OR (b) he was speaking casually and just meant two terms.

(I'm guessing b.)


Hey, Jake! How's the water in the tank this morning???

But not satisified with that, he goes on.

Similarly, international diplomacy can be impacted by careless or glibly-chosen words. (Cue President Bush's "crusade" remarks.)


There was a time when journalism was a honorable career. Yes, there was a time.

Just don't

One of the other topics covered by Nancy P and the Slower Ones in the Austin pandering, was this:


Asked if she would redirect money from abstinence-only programs to sex education, Ms. Pelosi said, “Yes,” adding that the current program “caters to a radical right-wing view.”


The truth be known, neither works. No program of "just don't," or "don't forget your birth control" will work as long as society just accepts the actions, and the results. The results being unwed mothers and skyrocketing STD numbers. Societal pressure must be brought on the children involved.

It also must be brought on the Gollywood slimes who mouth about how a man isn't needed to raise a child and Oprah should receive relentless pressure to scream don't have sex. Don't get pregnant.

And the man who impregnates a woman must marry or support. DNA testing should be used to identify the Daddy and when they don't, put them in jail.

Now that sounds terrible, but go back to the 50's. Trust me, sex was just as important then as now, but both the girl and the boy felt a huge amount of pressure to not have a baby.

In the final analysis, this is hard on the individual, but so is the punishment for all societal rejected actions.

That's how a society maintains its norms. Not by arguing over how to prevent it.





But this the smartest man in the world

and yet he has confirmed that he will speak in front of the infamous Victory Column in Berlin:

The monument was originally planned to commemorate Prussia’s victory over Denmark in 1864, but with the defeats of Austria in 1866 and France in 1870-71 following in such rapid succession, it ended up celebrating those victories, and the founding of the German empire in 1871, as well.

The Victory Column was built between 1865 and 1873. It was moved to its present location by the Nazi government in 1938-39 as part of the plan supervised by the regime’s chief architect, Albert Speer, to rebuild the German capital.


Now here's a guy who wants no preconditions on discussions with our enemies, but who doesn't mind pissing off Israel and the Jews. Of course it is a nice sop to the radical Muslims who share Hitlers hatred of the Jews as well as other Jew haters in Europe, Germany and the world.

Do we want a candidate for President speaking in front of such symbol?





Gagging maggots

The so-called net roots of the so called Democrat party.... actually its name is "The Know Nothings" met in Austin.

First let me be transparent. I hate Austin if for no other reason than I once lost a bet with my boss about the location of the Colorado river....and I spent months there a few years ago raising money and then watching a friend spin out of control.... but we now have this:

He repeated the challenge he issued to the country on Thursday to produce 100 percent of its electricity from renewable energy and clean, carbon-free sources within 10 years. And he called on the bloggers to help achieve that goal, saying they were on the leading edge of reclaiming democracy for the grass roots.


"He" was, of course, was Pope Algore. He of stupidity worshipped and tall tales.

Mr. Gore, later answering questions from the audience, said he would not accept a role in the next administration. The best use of his talent and experience, he said, is “to focus on trying to enlarge the political space” within which politicians can address the climate crisis.


Uh, PopeEEEE.... First Hussein has to win... And then you have to be asked. And just in case the American people are as stupid as they act sometime and elect his Holiness of Chicago, there is no way he will share the spotlight with another wacked out politician dummy who can't spell science but who now makes forecasts..

When Mr. Gore addressed the group, he noted first that the polar ice cap, which is about the size of the continental United States and has been in existence for three million years, had a 75 percent to 80 percent chance of melting in five years.


Is this his third or tenth forecast?? And if he is right, can anyone tell me why I should give a flip?

And then we had the always present BDS comments.

Ms. Cooper asked Ms. Pelosi whether Mr. Rove, if found in contempt of Congress, would be put “in that little jail cell that’s in the basement of the House.” The audience cheered. Ms. Pelosi replied that Representative John Conyers Jr., the Michigan Democrat who is chairman of the Judiciary Committee, had told her, “Leave it up to me.”


Ah yes John, your District is in such wonderful shape you have all the time in the world to engage in political vendettas...

You know, I'm not the greatest fan of Glen Beck, but maybe he's right. Maybe we should get out the pitchforks.

Here we have the country literally diving into a Democrat induced depression and you have the Speaker of the House who promised us cheap gasoline engaging in nothing but utter BS.

There. Now do you understand the title of the post??

TGIF Humor

Three men :

a Canadian farmer,

Osama bin Laden and a KENTUCKY GENTLEMAN

are all working together one day.

They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it.

'I will give each of you one wish, which is three wishes in total', says the Genie.

The Canadian says, 'I am a farmer and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada '

POOF! With the blink of the Genie's eye, the land in Canada was forever fertile for farming.

Osama was amazed, so he said, 'I want a wall around Afghanistan , Palestine , Iraq and Iran so that no infidels, Americans or Canadians can come into our precious land.'

POOF! Again, with the blink of the Genie's eye, there was a huge wall around those countries.

The Kentuckian says, 'I am very curious. Please tell me more about this wall.'

The Genie explains, 'Well, it's about 5,000 feet high, 5oo feet thick and completely surrounds the country. Nothing can get in or out; it's virtually impenetrable.'

The Kentuckian sits down on his Harley, cracks a beer, lites a cigar, smiles and says,

'Fill it with water.'

APS says global warming should be looked at

When Pope Algore reads this he will faint.

With this issue of Physics & Society, we kick off a debate concerning one of the main conclusions of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the UN body which, together with Al Gore, recently won the Nobel Prize for its work concerning climate change research. There is a considerable presence within the scientific community of people who do not agree with the IPCC conclusion that anthropogenic CO2 emissions are very probably likely to be primarily responsible for the global warming that has occurred since the Industrial Revolution. Since the correctness or fallacy of that conclusion has immense implications for public policy and for the future of the biosphere, we thought it appropriate to present a debate within the pages of P&S concerning that conclusion. This editor (JJM) invited several people to contribute articles that were either pro or con. Christopher Monckton responded with this issue's article that argues against the correctness of the IPCC conclusion, and a pair from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, David Hafemeister and Peter Schwartz, responded with this issue's article in favor of the IPCC conclusion. We, the editors of P&S, invite reasoned rebuttals from the authors as well as further contributions from the physics community. Please contact me (jjmarque@sbcglobal.net) if you wish to jump into this fray with comments or articles that are scientific in nature. However, we will not publish articles that are political or polemical in nature. Stick to the science! (JJM)


Something is happeniong here dear chums. A year ago P&S said the discussion was done. Over with. Don't bother me.

Large organizations and especually technical journals don't change easily. First there are egos, and yes, careers to consider. That they reopen the door is both startling and telling.

Media gets what they deserve

You know, we all know things are tough. I mean check this out:

Microsoft said today that its fiscal fourth-quarter profit jumped 42 percent, helped by strong sales of its Office and Windows software, but the company offered a soft outlook for the current quarter.

Earnings for the three months ended June 30 rose to $4.3 billion, or 46 cents a share, but that missed Wall Street's expectations by a penny a share. In the year-ago quarter, Microsoft reported earnings of $3.04 billion, or 31 cents a share.


Now what did AP have to say about this?

Microsoft's profit falls short of expectations


Now let me see. Despite hard economic conditions, this last quarter vs a year ago shows a 15 cent per share improvement... But the AP chooses to push the fact that MS missed Wall Street expectations by a penny???

If you ever needed a concise snapshot of why the major media outlets are dying, that is it. AP's bias here is just so plain that it can't be missed. And long term, that means people walk away.




Jesus wept

In contrast, John McCain spent the morning studying the problems of America and looking for solutions.


CHICAGO (AP) - Sometimes it's hard to tell if Barack Obama is running for president of the United States or Mr. Universe.

The Democratic presidential contender exercises regularly, but over a 24-hour span this week, he took it to a new extreme.

Twice on Wednesday and again Thursday morning, Obama traveled to a lakefront apartment building near his Chicago home to work out with a friend at his gym. On Wednesday night, Obama also spent an hour at the East Bank Club, a mammoth exercise facility just north of the city's famous business Loop where he is known to play basketball.

On the former occasions, reporters accompanying Obama saw him get in and out of an SUV wearing a baseball hat, white T-shirt and black sweat pants. On the visit to the East Bank Club, Obama was dressed casually as if going out to dinner, wearing slacks, a blue blazer and flip-flops.

A distinct lack of visible sweat on the Illinois senator triggered questions about whether he was actually exercising or using the gym visits as cover for conducting vice presidential vetting or interviews.

Obama spokesman Bill Burton e-mailed a succinct, two-word answer: "Working out."

That view held credence among some of the photographers who regularly accompany Obama. They said that even when he shot hoops earlier this year with members of the University of North Carolina varsity men's basketball team, they didn't see Obama sweat.

Meet the New Islam Just Like the Old Islam

They haven't forgotten.

The aim of the event is to promote dialogue between the world’s main religions, and, as some observers suspect, to establish a one-world religion based on Islam.....

Saudi officials said Spain was chosen as the site for the gathering because of its historical symbolism as a place where Muslims and those Jews and Christians who paid the dhimmi tax lived in peace under Islamic rule between the 8th and 13th centuries.


Don't you love..... "as some observers suspect....?"



Stuff I couldn't make up

There is stupid and then there is really stupid.

But actually this is just another attempt by the Left to re-write history.


“I want to tell you I’m not here for or against any government,” Springsteen said, as he pointedly introduced his rendition of the Bob Dylan ballad “Chimes of Freedom.”








Bad News USA Today

I have to be nasty.

This really couldn't be more deserved.

July 16 (Bloomberg) -- Gannett Co., the largest U.S. newspaper publisher, said second-quarter profit declined 36 percent after advertising sales at USA Today plunged. The stock dropped to its lowest level since 1985.

USA Today's ad sales fell 27 percent in June, the steepest monthly decline this year and worse than the 16 percent drop reported for all Gannett publications.


They have had an anti-growth, anti-business, anti-energy pro environmental wacko Demo favorable bias for years. If anyone deserves what we are going through now, it is these people. Perhaps some humble pie will adjust their attitude.

Naaaaaaw. They'll just blame Bush and the country.

When one totals McCain's 23 missions over North Vietnam, times the number of minutes he was actually over enemy territory (approximately 20 to 35 minutes per mission), McCain's total time over Vietnam before being shot down, was about 10 1/2 hours.

For those 10 1/2 hours over Vietnam, McCain, the Admiral's son, was awarded two Silver Stars, two Legions of Merit, two Distinguished Flying Crosses, three Bronze Stars, the Vietnamese Legion of Honor and three Purple Hearts averaging over one hero medal per hour.

The above is probably from a guy in his early 20's, has never had anything more difficult than choosing which cereal to eat for breakfast and grew up hearing "Good job!" every time he did anything. Failures included.

His schooling consisted of no hard science or math, was repeatedly told that America was evil and thinks that we can all just get along if we'll just throw open the borders and let everyone in to "do their thing."

He represents the perfect storm of ignorance about the world that is heading towards us guided by the elites we have allowed to destroy our great education system and captained by a man who, knowing nothing and having been given everything, is the perfect candidate to lead us into the next dark age.

Heaven Help Us Hussein has his excuse

Hussein has, in error, claimed that terrorism is caused by poverty. That he is wrong is demonstrated by the middle class/professional class status of the terrorist on 9/11 and in England. And by some actual research.

Pipes

Take Egypt as a test case. In a 1980 study, the Egyptian social scientist Saad Eddin Ibrahim interviewed Islamists in Egyptian jails and found that the typical member is "young (early twenties), of rural or small-town background, from the middle or lower middle class, with high achievement and motivation, upwardly mobile, with science or engineering education, and from a normally cohesive family." In other words, Ibrahim concluded, these young men were "significantly above the average in their generation"; they were "ideal or model young Egyptians." In a subsequent study, he found that out of 34 members of the violent group At-Takfir w'al-Hijra, fully 21 had fathers in the civil service, nearly all of them middle-ranking. More recently, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service found that the leadership of the militant Islamic group Al-Jihad "is largely university educated with middle-class backgrounds." These are not the children of poverty or despair.


But alas, we now have the ultimate...

This is from the BBC.

The chances of anti-social behaviour among boys who are maltreated as they grow up may be determined by their genetic make-up, research suggests.

Researchers from King's College in London have found that boys who have a particular version of a gene are much more likely to go off the rails if they suffer maltreatment when young.

The discovery raises the possibility of developing drugs to combat crime, the scientists believe.


No more wars, we'll just dispatch Home Health.

Don't forget the campfire group sings and hugs as the camel chips burn ever so brightly..


Hmmmmmm... I wonder which drug company sponsored the research.

Paranoia becomes me..

I know, I know. But I just can't resist.

You are aware, probably, that Barack Obama lost his bearings recently and
said that he was going to campaign in all 57 states.

You heard this? And everybody chalked it up to, 'Well, he's tired.'

You know, this is a Dan Quayle moment. I mean, Dan Quayle goes out there
and misspells 'potato,' and we still hear jokes about it.

Barack Obama says he's gonna go out and campaign in 57 states, he was just
tired, you know, it's been such a long campaign, he's been so many
places,he probably thinks there are 57 states.

Well, I have here a printout from a web site called the International
Humanist and Ethical Union.
And here is how the second paragraph of an article on that website begins.

'Every year from 1999 to 2005 the organization of the Islamic conference
representing the 57 Islamic states presented a resolution to the United
Nations Commission on human rights called commbating.'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organisation_of_the_Islamic_Conference

Obama said he's going to campaign in 57 states, and it turns out that there
are 57 Islamic states. There are 57 Islamic states.


So did Obama just lose his bearings, or was this a more telling slip,
ladies and gentlemen?

This troop has him "pegged" -- too bad he can't sign it.......
-------------------------------------------------

This came from Shreveport Times Web site

Posted 7/1/2008 on shreveporttimes.com

As an officer serving in America 's uniformed services, I maintain a strict personal code of nonpartisan politics. Of course I have my opinions about politics and favorite local, state and national candidates, but only my immediate family knows my thoughts and opinions on politics. I do not openly or publicly endorse nor campaign for any particular politician or political party, nor will I ever do so for as long as I wear the uniform. I firmly believe officers serving the nation must remain apolitical in all that we say, write and do. But I feel compelled to share with you gentle readers the simultaneous reaction of hundreds of military personnel yesterday when retired General Wes Clark-Senator Barak Obama's military advisor-publicly questioned Senator John McCain's ability to make decisions and serve as Commander-in-Chief.

First, I will be upfront and ca ndidly inform you I am equally indifferent toward the two candidates. This post isn't to compare or contrast either in a more or less favorable light; but I absolutely detest retired General Wes Clark. I have loathed him (as I suspect do most of his former subordinates) since I had the unfortunate experience of serving under his command in the Balkans in the 1990s. That being frankly disclosed, allow me to paint a picture for you. Imagine several hundred hungry men and women representing all the armed services, from new privates to crusty old Colonels, sitting in a dining facility about the size of a school gymnasium in hot, dusty Afghanistan . The big screen televisions in the corners are all tuned to CNN and retired General Wesley Clark appears on the screen.

The text underneath read in bold red letters "Clark questions McCain's ability to lead the military" The gist of Clark 's interview was that McCain is a war hero, but "hasn't held executive responsibility, and has no experience making tough military decisions".

Surely retired General Clark can't really expect the American people to buy the load of manure he's shoveling, but he's well-known throughout the military as one extremely accomplished and gifted manure-shoveling S.O.B.

The only other time I've heard a military dining facility suddenly become so eerily quiet was at Camp Comanche , Bosnia on September 11, 2001 when we all watched the live CNN feed of the second airliner crashing into the WTC.

Within seconds the "He really didn't just say what we all heard him just say, did he?" chuckles of disbelief became a roar of laughter. Even die hard Obama fans in the room were shaking their heads in disbelief someone would be foolish enough to compare John McCain's military abilities or experience on any level with the first term Senator from Illinois .

McCain and Obama-the first name belongs to a decorated combat veteran with Silver Stars, Distinguished Fl ying Crosses, Purple Hearts, Bronze Stars.a War College graduate with a masters Degree in National Security Strategy.the guy who served 22 years in the military and declined promotion to Rear Admiral to retire as a disabled Navy Captain (Colonel), and who has since served over a quarter century in the U.S. Congress and Senate-including 21 years as a member on the Senate Armed Services Committee. The second name is a man with a sound education, an accomplished lawyer, a community leader and state legislator, and someone who has never served a single day in the U.S. military, and who has absolutely no working concept about how the military or national strategic policy works, and hasn't even finished his first term as a U.S. Senator. I'm not saying either candidate is "better" than the other based just on those facts. I am merely pointing out that retired General Clark obviously thinks we Americans are either too stupid, or too
lazy to bother thinking for ourselves. His vanity and pomposity remains just the same as a civilian as when he wore a uniform.

For retired General Clark to compare these two men using the words "military", "leadership" and experience" indicates one of two things: he's suffering from a traumatic brain embolism and should seek immediate emergency attention by skilled doctors; or he feels toward the American people the same condescension and narcissistic intellectual superiority he did toward his subordinates and peers while he served on active duty. He sure looks healthy-it must be the latter.

Does retired General Clark really regard the American population to be so incredibly stupid they would for a moment believe Senator Obama somehow has better military and leadership experience than Senator McCain? Apparently, yes, he does. Sad, isn't it?

As I explained, I don't pretend to respect, much less like retired General Clark. I despise him. I have personally experienced his vain, self-centered, arrogance, his famous egotistical personality and intolerable, hateful style of command-not to mention his lack of integrity and character flaws that got him removed early from his assignment as the Supreme Allied Commander Europe during the Kosovo Campaign. Those like retired General Clark only worry about their own welfare and career progression, and thus earn little respect by their peers and subordinates alike. His attempt to sling a little mud by somehow insinuating Senator Obama would make a better "military leader" and "decision maker" than Senator McCain is about par for his usual exalted and self-centered hypocrisy.

If I might offer a brief word of advice to the good Senator from Illinois , "Sir, do not associate yourself with retired General Wes Clark if you desire respect from military voters. You had the intuitiveness and correct sense to distance yourself from Reverend Wright-do the same with General Clark" But alas, Presidential candidates rarely listen to crusty old officers from the old school. I will be looking to see what "spin" band aid the Senator's (Obama) campaign staff applies to the General Clark hemorrhage in today's news.

Finally, in contrast to retired General Clark, I have sincere and interminable faith my fellow citizens will use their intellect to study the facts and make a well-informed and fair decision on their own before they walk into the voting booths this coming November. We certainly do not require a conniving fraud like retired general Clark to shape our opinions and try to herd us like sheep. His only interest is his own career aspirations. He cared little for his country and even less for the US service members under his command while he wore a uniform; and I don't believe he cares anymore about America or her citizens now that he has traded his Army greens for a Brooks Brothers suit.

I don't believe America is the herd of dumb sheep he conceitedly thinks we are.

Election advice from Ireland

THOUGHTS FROM ACROSS THE POND

An email from Ireland to their brethren in the States...a point to ponder despite your political affiliation:

'We, in Ireland, can't figure out why people are even bothering to hold an election in the United States

On one side, you have a pants wearing lawyer, married to a lawyer who cant keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer who goes to the wrong church who is married to yet another lawyer who doesn't even like the country her husband wants to run.

Now...On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate Mc terminology married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship.

What in Lords name are you lads thinking over there in the colonies??

This Bud's for InBev

What's a guy to do when even his beer is owned by a foreign company? Well, maybe not owned. We all know that you get to keep beer for a bit and then it is returned to be, shall we say, recycled?

I have never been a big time beer drinker. Can't tell you why, but I just never bought into the macho thing of drink and pee and pee and drink... It's not that I am rabidly anti-drinking, but as a Scot Irish I can tell you that booze brings out the fool in us.. No, I'll just settle for a VO or Stoly on the rocks or maybe a glass of cab with dinner. No value judgements, mind you. Have your fav and I'll have mine.

Looking back at my youth we had several brews that have since disappeared... Falstaff was memorable for having Dewey Phillips, a Memphis DJ, urge everyone to drink that "ole fall flat." We also had one.... I kid you not... called "Greasy Dick." The more astute of the locals would ask for a "GD" or "Greasy." I read somewhere it is still being brewed. How it has survived that name I do not know.

There were others. Some were "from the land of sky blue waters," others "tasted great and were less filling." One even made "Milwaukee Famous." Some were from "Iron City," and one became semi-famous over Mabel and the supposed easy, shall we say.. access to her charms?

Going through prep school at Norman, OK I discovered 3.2% beer. It was almost impossible to get a buzz off of it. However, Texas was just a few miles south and Lone Star, I think, was $4.50 a case.

Later traveling into the colder climes in the pursuit of the evil Rooskie I discovered Heineken and Tuborg. I loved Heineken and I remember a case of it was cheaper than a case of cokes. Heineken is in the US now... I had a bottle few months back and discovered the beer had changed or my memory had failed.. Probably both.

Had a friend in Norfolk who brewed his own with some success. He would take some and double distill it to make pot liquor.. probably 60 proof or so. It would, without question, impart a world class hangover.

Boutique breweries are "in" at the present. I like a "Fat Tire" every now and then, although I suspect it is named for what it will place around your middle.
But this business may be short lived. $5.50 diesel raises cain with distribution and smaller companies don't have the resources of larger companies.

Which brings us back to the purchase of Anheuser-Busch by InBev. Nothing in this silly season can escape politics. Missouri Demo Senator Claire McCaskill opines:

"We need to remember that InBev could afford this All-American company because of the weak dollar created by the economic policies of the last seven years. It's time for a change in our nation's economic priorities."


Which leads me to say, does the Senator think that blocking drilling for oil in the US and paying $145 a barrel have anything to do with it? No? Well, based on what I saw of her on Sunday's MTP I have no doubt she actually believes such nonsense.

And that's the scary part.










Mr. Sarwar of Engalnd has a point

Of course there's the Constitution and those other dreary laws.

Mr Sarwar said: "What's the difference between knife criminals and suicide bombers?


"They should do exactly what they do with terrorists, "They should hold them for 42 days, question them and put them in prison and solve the problem."
He said Sharia law would act as a deterrent in solving crime in Britain. He added: "If anybody is caught with a knife then give them ten lashes in the town centre.


"Sharia law is not controversial. It's a deterrent. Muslim countries don't have half the problems we have because Sharia law is there."


Aspects of Sharia law involve stoning, lashings and cutting off hands.


And this student should be glad she isn't in Essexx. And I thought Ocala was bad....


Of course there are worse things...

McLEAN, Va. - Textbooks at a private Islamic school in northern Virginia teach students that it is permissible for Muslims to kill adulterers and converts from Islam, according to a federal investigation released Wednesday.

Other passages in the school's textbooks state that "the Jews conspired against Islam and its people" and that Muslims are permitted to take the lives and property of those deemed "polytheists."

From Europe with facts

What a shame we have to read ablog, the BrusselsJournal to find out what is happening in Portland.

A Zinnlandian I met on this trip, a WASP physician endowed with the best education much money can buy, told me that he does not celebrate July 4th because the Declaration of Independence had been written by a slave owner and signed by other slave owners. He was just as hotly critical of the “racism” of Americans in dealing with the growing Muslim immigrant minority. The conversation unfolded over a bottle of Oregon Vino Pinko, with the likeness of a notorious Cuban mass murderer on the label.


I wonder where the good doctor was when needed.

"One morning the horrible sound of that rusty steel door swinging open startled us awake and Che's guards shoved a new prisoner into our cell. His face was bruised and smeared with blood. We could only gape. He was a boy, couldn't have been much older than 12, maybe 14.

"'What did you do?' We asked horrified. 'I tried to defend my papa,' gasped the bloodied boy. 'I tried to keep these Communist sons of b**tches form murdering him! But they sent him to the firing squad.'"

Soon Che's goons came back, the rusty steel door opened and they yanked the valiant boy out of the cell. "We all rushed to the cell's window that faced the execution pit," recalls Mr. San Martin. "We simply couldn't believe they'd murder him! Then we spotted him, strutting around the blood-drenched execution yard with his hands on his waist and barking orders � the gallant Che Guevara.

"Here Che was, finally in his element. In battle he was a sad joke, a bumbler of epic proportions [for details see "Fidel: Hollywood's Favorite Tyrant"], but up against disarmed and bloodied boys he was a snarling tiger.

"'Kneel Down!' Che barked at the boy.

"'ASSASSINS!' We screamed from our window. 'MURDERERS!! HOW CAN YOU MURDER A LITTLE BOY!'

"'I said, KNEEL DOWN!' Che barked again.

"The boy stared Che resolutely in the face. 'If you're going to kill me,' he yelled. 'you'll have to do it while I'm standing! MEN die standing!'

"COWARDS! MURDERERS! Sons of B**TCHES!" The men yelled desperately from their cells. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!" HOW CAN ...?!"

"And then we saw Che unholstering his pistol. It didn't seem possible. But Che raised his pistol, put the barrel to the back of the boy's neck and blasted. The shot almost decapitated the young boy.


I wonder if the wine left a copperish after taste??

But things go from bad to worse.

Except here it’s the land of the voluntarily submitted, the natural dhimmis. There are no conquerors; not yet. Just like in England or Holland, except the same kind of First World people are submitting to a different kind of Third World people: Mestizo peons here, Moslem hoi polloi there. The submission includes constant panic lest one be accused of the high crime of “racism,” leading to acts of conspicuous politically correct piety as ubiquitous as the jambon serrano sides that hang by custom in the front of Spanish bars since the days when a publican had better proved to Inquisition agents, and quickly, that he was not a secret Judaizer


And it continues.

Starting right here, in this car. “An assault by five teenagers on a North Portland MAX train this week revived worries about mass transit safety since several high-profile incidents last winter,” reads the opening paragraph in The Oregonian’s news today. The story goes on, “Teenage boys and girls punched, used racial epithets and stole the purse of a 28-year-old Vancouver woman who was taking her first-ever MAX ride early Monday evening. The woman, who is white, had just had a conversation with the teens, who are African American and were harassing another woman”.

It’s uncharacteristic for the progressive press of this progressive town – just what are they progressing toward? – to disclose the racial identity of violent perps, since this could dent the very foundation on which Zinnlandia and all postmodern Western civilization are built on: that all people, and all racial, ethnic, gender and national groups of people, are equal in their proclivities, abilities and merits, and are equally deserving of uncritical acceptance. They just have different “narratives,” you see. But it’s interesting how gingerly the racial identity is mentioned, when it is, with what curious, for a newspaper, waste of words. The story could have opened, after all, “An assault by five black teenagers on a North Portland MAX train this week… etc”.

As to the “several high-profile incidents last winter,” the story is less forthcoming. The reader is reminded that “a 16-year-old boy” was just sentenced to 9 1/2 years in prison for pounding a 71 year-old man with a baseball bat at another stop of this rail system. The account does not mention that the “boy’s” name was Abel Chavez-Garcia and his smashing the old (and white) man, Laurie Lee Chilcote, to pulp was also accompanied by racial taunts. One has to fish through another article to find out about the hoodlum that he is an illegal alien. And it takes yet another, much earlier article to find out that Mr. Chilcote, whom the savage “Hispanic” punk has gifted with, among others, partial paralysis, double vision, dimmed hearing and a speech impediment is so brainwashed, good Oregonian that he is, that the only question he voiced after the attack was “what would make a teenager swing a baseball bat at an elderly man.” (1)

The story then goes on to remind the reader that “Weeks after the beating, a 19-year-old man was stabbed in the chest at the Rockwood Transit Center, and on Christmas Eve a woman was groped at a MAX stop in Gresham.” Curious about the identity of the stabber and the groper I do a little research on my laptop, soon after arriving at the Departures lounge of the PDX Airport terminal.

The groper – and it was a full-fledged assault – was a Mario Santiago-Montelongo. More extensive research, later, reveals that Santiago-Montelongo, who got 22 months in prison for this assault, is a Mexican illegal immigrant (2).

And inasmuch as young blacks and ‘Hispanics’ in America produce a widely disproportionate number of criminals, a normal people would demand of its quisling leaders that police and security forces employ crime profiling – including by race, gender, nationality and religion – and that Hispanic criminals be headed off a lot more effectively at the border, rather than courted by US presidential contenders once they have jumped the fence.

But we are still in denial relative to even the first part of the solution, identification. The media are either staying clear of the issue or engaging in its active camouflage. Mute white politicians, police chiefs and judges are being attacked vociferously for the disproportionate number of blacks in prison, as though that, per se, were proof of pervasive white racism rather than of pervasive black criminality.

America’s presumptive president, BH Obama, and all black political leaders and TV talking heads distort every possible crime statistic, with no national politician, even from the allegedly “conservative” wing of the Republican Party, putting them on the spot for it. The black demagogues, and their enablers such as Mr. Obama, shift blame from black criminals onto white “racism,” faults in the law and its application, society etc. The racial “healing” and coming together Mr. Obama sells on the stump is a veiled promise that inconvenient truths will no longer be tolerated, and a trillion dollars more will be dumped down the drain for a “cure” of the willfully imaginary social “causes” of black and brown crime.

For black and Hispanic crime is not the result of poverty or of racism. One is safe walking among the poor in Thailand, the disfranchised Ainu in Japan, or the downtrodden Jews still living among Moslems. Until the crazies took over Islam again, for the nth time in history, a white person could walk – and this author did walk– through the poorest sections of Arab cities without fearing for one’s life. One may sometimes suffer violence at the hands of unemployable young sociopaths in white-only precincts of Birmingham or Bratislava, but murder and serial rape are not a feature of everyday life there.

Everyday, in the U.S., in Great Britain and elsewhere in the West, there are headlines attesting to barbarity, reflexive violence, lack of any moral restraints and grave societal danger posed by large numbers of blacks, Mexicans and Central Americans, Albanians and other Moslem immigrants living among people of Euro-Christian ancestry. When one reads a headline, “Pack of cigarettes ignites 200-person ruckus at Fort Myers gas station,” it no longer matters whether the race is mentioned or the photos shown, because everyone knows. Or does he?

Two young white men in Dallas are locking up their fledgling recording studio. The men and the studio are devoted to Christian causes. Two young black men drive up and ask for a cigarette. A conversation develops that lasts 30 minutes. With this man, who then pulls out a gun and executes the white innocents for a take of $2.

For white Westerners born in the last 50 years are all honorary Zinnlandians. They have grown up indoctrinated to squash their own survival impulses, to be ashamed for preferring their own people and culture, to admire the “authentic” and “noble” savage.

I should not like to single out Portland, Oregon for scorn or ridicule. This type of paralyzing cowardice or suicidal stupidity exists in every American, Western European, Canadian and Australian city I have visited over the past thirty years.

In Portland, the “youth” often just beat you up. In the City of Brotherly Love, aka Killadelphia, the brothers shoot on sight. In Malmö they rape your sister and then wait in ambush for the ambulance. In Epinay-sur-Seine they set a car on fire and then, armed with brass knuckles and iron bars, wait in ambush for the police. France alone has 751 Zones Urbaines Sensibles, and yet its entire fancy elite keep singing in unison of the glories of Third World Moslem immigration. The chronicle of the West’s shame is thicker than a phone book.

A recent London Times article discusses the alarming plague of knife murders in Great Britain, of course without discussing the demographics of the perpetrators (4).

Among the dozens of anxious comments, one, Cris, states, “The black elephant is in the room. 43% of all violent crime is committed by the Afro-Caribbean population. One part of the answer (not the whole of it) is to deport each an every immigrant caught carrying a knife.”

To which another commenter, Piers, retorts, “Typical racist BNP facism; what about the 57% of non-black people who commit violent crime- will u deport them?”

That’s how the cultural left silences the voices of reason and objectivity: blind frothing at the mouth with words like “fascism” and “racism” spraying out with the spittle. For what matters is not which group commits more crimes but how that crime rate relates to the group’s percentage of the population.

What matters is this: Blacks are 3.5% of the British population. Now, when you perceive that 43% of violent crime in Great Britain is committed by members of a demographic group comprising 3.5% of the population, then you are on to something.

In San Francisco, Honduran crack-dealing hoodlums are treated to a city-paid flight back to Honduras with a carte blanche to return, in order to shield them, in this ‘sanctuary city,’ from federal deportation. “The strategy is appropriate, (chief of the Juvenile Probation Department) Siffermann said, because deporting young offenders would doom them from ever becoming productive residents of the United States.”

The boot-wearing young Latinos I saw on my train ride to the Portland Airport are constitutionally unable to indulge in such self-erasing idiocy. Shorter, darker, more primitive and far less foolish, they flow in naturally to fill the vacuum inhabited by the white flip-floppers.

Perhaps the time has come to give more attention to the existential AIDS that has disabled the immune system of the West. There is nothing intrinsically worse about Moroccans, Mexicans or Memphis blacks than there was in 1950. What has changed is the cultural immune system of the Euro-ethnics around the world. The Moroccan in 1950 did not live in Amsterdam, and the Mexican did not in Portland. They wouldn’t and couldn’t. The black was in Memphis then and now, but in 1950 he had the church if he was a good man, and long-term, harsh prison if he was not. Nowadays such institutions grate on the Zinnlandian sensibility.


Opportunistic infections do not penetrate but decaying organisms. Non-discrimination as the central organizing principle of Western society does to a body politic what AIDS does to a living body.







The New Yorker gets it right??

Gee, they get something right one time and everybody gets upset.

Excuse me for laffing on you.

Hat tip to Newsbusters.





Ahdyar always ran in a headscarf

The west continues to misunderstand.


The young runner, who competes in the 800 meters and 1,500 meters, had become the poster girl for the Olympic movement, with her face adorning the International Olympic Committee's Web site.


But being in the international spotlight had attracted the wrong kind of attention. Although Ahdyar always ran in a headscarf and wore long tracksuit bottoms she still received death threats from extremists who objected to a Muslim woman taking part in sports at all.


When she received visits from Western media earlier this year, her neighbors called the police telling them she was obviously a prostitute working for foreign clients. Her father, a carpenter, even spent time in jail until the issue was cleared up.


Now. Is this caused by Islam or is it caused by radicals? And if it is caused by radicals, where is NOW and other women's organizations in the US and Europe condeming the actions?

It remains plain for anyone to see. Only Muslims can reform their religion. When we accept without comment such actions they are unlikely to respond, seeing no support from the world's largest democracy.






Bush and Offshore Drilling

Bush to Demos: Your move.

WASHINGTON — In another push to deal with soaring gas prices, President Bush today will lift an executive ban on offshore drilling that his stood since his father was president.


Don't be shocked dear chums, but the AP is wrong.

The decision to extend the moratorium on oil drilling, which was first imposed by President Bush in June 1990, was expected, even though the current ban does not expire until 2002.

Environmentalists wanted the ban to be permanent, but Clinton said limiting the extension to 10 years would allow the government to review the matter in light of future advances in science and technology
.


Bush the Elder's ban would have expired in 2002.

You know, it took me all of 30 seconds to Google up the correct information. And it sure looks funny that AP couldn't do the same. It looks like they are trying to hide sweet Willie's part in this damnable mess.

I trust none of you are surprised.






Democrat Promises 2006

As some of you know, at one time I was a regular commentator on TalkLeft, and still do, but not regularly. This morning while doing the Google bit looking for something else I came across this interesting thread.

Note that this was the morning after the Demo win in 2006.

Congratulations (1.00 / 0) (#1)
by jimakaPPJ on Wed Nov 08, 2006 at 06:49:32 AM EST

Well, congratulations my friendly enemies.

I reminded of '74. I just hope your heroes and heroines don't repeat the mistakes of the Ford and Carter years.

Hopefully they won't. Anyway they can't overcome a veto in the House, and no one knows if the Senate will turn.

It will be interesting to see if they are really interested in national health care, gay rights, womens rights... tax reform and drug law reform.

After all, their excuse until now is that they couldn't get a bill introduced. That's over. (New emphasis added 7/14.)

Note that I left out national defense because I remained convinced that the Left doesn't have a clue, and that our enemies will take full advantage of that.

In the meantime, remember that old saying:

"Success is getting what you want
Happiness is wanting what you get."

And here is a prayer for some good luck and common sense on both sides.

And thanks for electing President McCain and VP Rudy.


Who knew I was so smart? Certainly not me or I would have spent that day getting out of the market, but if McCain makes it then he becomes the second winner I have predicted so far out. The other was Reagan, but that was so obvious I really shouldn't brag.

But that's not why I bring the ancient thread to light. Now if you want to go over and read the various insults tossed my way, that's up to you. But the real honor belongs to:

They are making lots of promises (none / 0) (#52)
by Jlvngstn on Wed Nov 08, 2006 at 02:28:42 PM EST

Can we record them here and grade them in 2 years?
No excuses other than vetos now. They have control they should give us:

Healthcare for all americans
Energy independence
economic prosperity
education excellence
Retirement security
Real Security for americans (does this mean they will secure our ports?)
Honest, transparent gov't (lol)
How about a tax code that is not 26,000 pages?

No excuses dems. Stand up and deliver. The clock is running.


Jlvngstn is not all that far to the Left, and demonstrated several times the ability to debate using facts and logic. I wouldn't call us friends, but respectful opponents should cover it. Anyway, a few comments down the thread, he shows where he gets his information.

where to find the promises (none / 0) (#54)

Dem Promises for 2006 - Can we have a site or a sidebar where we can track their progress on these initiatives?


Dem Promises for 2006

When you read "energy independence" please don't puke on the keyboard.

So there you have it. A way to remember what the Demos promised in 2006 and to see what they delivered.

It isn't a pretty picture, most car wrecks are not.

But rest assured I will return to it from time to time.

It's the least I can do.
