Hmmm, I couldn't get the tone of that last post, MC. Was he being smug? Honest?
Don't know.
Anyway, I think it appropriate that Dawkins interviewed with Cocker, the singer of Pulp, because Dawkins comments sure did remind me of the video below.

Le Chant des Oiseaux

I'm posting this because it has some personal value to me. About 14 years ago I was in a choir for Mesa college and we performed this song at a 3 day Christmas festival in a church across the street from Balboa park in San Diego. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. My whole family was there (except my lousy brother)
And so this is for Comrade. We were pretty good and we might have sounded something like this, but then again, maybe not.
I sang bass vocals with two others.

Here We Go.

Someone is offended by Christianity, better ban it. This is from sports columnist Peter King's mailbag column today regarding 49ers head coach Mike Singletary's sideline attire:

"• RELIGION AND FOOTBALL. From Steve, of Hopkinton, Mass.: "Watching the Miami-San Francisco game Sunday, I was surprised to see Mike Singletary's attire. I know sweatshirts are approved (as long as they are made by Reebok) but the huge cross around his neck? I know this is a man expressing his deep beliefs but is this the acceptable standard? What is someone wants to display some other item reflecting his personal beliefs?''

Good question. The league tells me Singletary's personal jewelry is not an issue (he's been wearing the cross throughout his coaching career) and I'd be surprised if they told him to tone it down. I think the only way they'd meddle with religious crosses is if they obscured the logos on the sideline clothing. Don't laugh."

It's not a good question and I'm not laughing. I see what the person is doing here, trying to equate the Cross with a swastika, hangman's noose or other hate symbol in order to justify banning it's appearance on the sideline. Or maybe the person is a vampire. I doubt they'd be so critical of a rainbow.

No Effing Way.

I feel bad for the lady. Her bid wins on any other day.

We Can Stop Obama...

...from saving the world!

The Cult Of Garotzuva

Like with many cult leaders, Al Gore has picked the moment of rapture for global warmists.
5 Years from now, Al Gore says, the entire North Pole will disappear.

And I'm glad we have him on record.

As far as I am concerned one of two things will happen.
1.) The North Pole melts and Al Gore becomes a prophet. I will eat crow and the world begins a massive global effort to stop global warming. (more so than it is doing today)
2.) The North Pole doesn't melt and cult followers will listen to Al Gore anyway, just like cult followers always do and a new day of rapture is predicted.

But wait, there is a third option. One that can't be ignored.
3.) Obama heals the planet.
AP has titled a recent piece Obama left with little time to curb global warming
Perfect!
All the stars are aligned. We have Gore on record, the world is in a panic and a day of judgment that follows shortly after Obama's 1st term. When the North Pole doesn't melt, Obama can raise his palms to heaven, snap his fingers and say abra cadabra, and then we truly can call him the Messiah.

Obama Can't Wait To Get Into The White House

Bettie Page: RIP

Bettie Page dies of a heart attack at age 85.

I'm not the biggest Bettie Page fan out there, but I do like the style that surrounds her image. (and the picture above is pretty great)

In many ways Bettie Page represents the innocence of yesterday. Innocent smut, so to speak and what was once considered risque is now plain old pop art. (oh the irony)

Have we taken it too far? I say we have, but I also say we can turn back.

I read a pretty cool quote while looking into this story.

"Gluttony satiates but does not satisfy."

Hmmmmm... I like it.

Anyway, maybe I'll talk more about that some other day.

Which Time Of The Year Has The Lowest Number Of Suicides?

Despite what the media tells you, the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas has the FEWEST number of suicides than any other time of the year.
Yet "stories linking suicides and the holidays during the 2005-2006 end-of-year season represented about 57 percent of the articles written."
Turns out that Spring and Fall have the highest rates.

NY School Renamed "Barack Obama" By Students

"District officials believe the school is the first in the country to be named for Obama. But even though Obama will not take office until January 20, many other efforts to rename schools, parks and streets to mark his historic win are already underway. Winston Baldwin Spencer, the prime minister of Antigua and Barbuda, a country in the Caribbean, says he is taking steps to have Antigua's highest mountain peak renamed Mount Obama. And many parents around the world have named their newborns Barack."

Third Time Is The Charm

Obama may be yet again distancing himself from a questionable character. If this is true, then it would be the third time (fourth if you include Rezko, but I don't know of any real connection) that an associate got into hot water and Obama then denounced him.

1.) "I wasn't there" and "I didn't know" and "I didn't hear him say it," Obama words when speaking about Reverend Wright

2.) "just a guy who lives in my neighborhood" What he said about William Ayers

3.) "I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, I was not aware of what was happening." What Obama said recently concerning Governor Blagojevich.

Axelrod, Obama's campaign advisor, disagrees.
"I know he's talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them."

Kids Need To Be Introduced To Gay Issues Because?

If you call in sick for work tomorrow, people will talk. Also, "A Day Without a Mexican" was a stupid, boring waste of a movie.

Gay Marriage?

If any of you haven't guessed yet, I am not for gay marriage. At least I am not for defining the word marriage to mean anything other than one man one woman.
Civil unions? have at it.
Having the same rights as a married couple? you bet.
a ceremony to honor the union? sure.
But the word marriage? no way. (to be clear, if California voted 'no' on prop. 8 I would have not liked it, but I would have accepted it)
Look, words carry weight. They have meaning and the idea of a heterosexual marriage falling under the same banner as a homosexual union is, well, wrong.
They aren't the same. They are different and though the law and the govt. shouldn't treat homosexual union and marriage differently, our vocabulary should. (except for adoption. Don't agree with gay adoption either)

For example, there are people who try to tell us that boys and girls are the same. That society has forced boys to follow one form of gender rolls and girls to follow another.
If we raised boys, they argue, in taditional girl gender rolls, like buying them a teaset, then the boys would grow up to be more feminine.
Same with girls. Buy them g.i.joes, tomboys.
But they were wrong. Boys were unhappy with teasets, unless they were breaking 'em and girls were dressing up their g.i.joes for teaparties.
Why? Because they are different.
Programmed different.
Think different.
And polite society treats them different.
Therefore, we have different words assigned to each different sex and though the govt. recognizes their equality of rights under the law, our vocabulary recognizes their differences in life under natural law and that is the way it should be.
And that is the way it should be with marriage as well.
So says I.

They should give $130 billion to poor countries to fight Garotzuva! Poor countries have such an outstanding track record of making sure handouts make it into the right hands to make a positive impact. I could use a few million myself. You know, I'm kind of the king of my block.

Melting Ice May Slow Global Warming

According to this, the earth may be healing itself.
"Scientists discover that minerals found in collapsing ice sheets could feed plankton and cut C02 emissions."
Just in time too. Now that Obama is President-elect, the earth will heal, meadows will flower and the world will come together to sing Kumbaya.

Of course I'm not suggesting that Professor Rob Raiswell came to his conclusion because of the Obama win, but I do wonder whether chicken littles will begin to listen to other theories now that "hope" is in the air.

I would say something about this, but I think this quote says it all.

Even better, Constitution Arms says it's had it certified by the FDA as a "Class I Medical Device." That means doctors could prescribe the handgun to qualified patients, who would then have some or all of the cost reimbursed by Medicare or private insurance."

Palm pistol is just what the doctor ordered.

Susan Rice a "Mind-Boggling" Candidate for U.N. Ambassador
Okay, Obama is a shithead again.

"A Rhodes scholar, 44-year-old Rice was an aide to Richard Clarke at the National Security Council in the 1990s, and was considered a “radical liberal” who favored the use of lightly armed U.N. troops as peacekeepers, said the insider, who provided this background on the nominee:
Rice and Clarke wrote “Presidential Decision Directive 25” (PDD-25), a controversial Clinton policy document that urged the use of U.N. peacekeepers as surrogates for real military forces in the mistaken belief that warring parties would respect and not fire on lightly armed U.N. forces wearing blue helmets."

"While working for Clarke, Rice supported the “unconscionable” 1994 Clinton administration decision to prevent the U.N. from taking action against the impending genocide in Rwanda that killed more than 800,000 people, the insider said."

Prop. 8: The Musical

Ready your barf bags.

See more Jack Black videos at Funny or Die

I find it funny that they use Jesus, a man who spoke out against the strict rules of the pharisees, to drive home their point about conflicting rules in the bible.
And Paul wrote, "Everything created by God is good, and all food is lawful."
That's in the bible!
I don't think they realize that there are many people who voted yes on prop. 8 and who are not at all religious.
It only makes sense. Anytime these people (when I say "these people" I don't mean fags...err... homosexuals. I mean liberals.) don't get what they want they blame religion.
(Okay, not everytime, but alot!)

A sidenote, if prop. 8 had gone down I would not have protested.

A Liberal Making Sense

Very good read

"After all, if 10 young Indians from a splinter wing of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party traveled by boat to Pakistan, shot up two hotels in Karachi and the central train station, killed at least 173 people, and then, for good measure, murdered the imam and his wife at a Saudi-financed mosque while they were cradling their 2-year-old son — purely because they were Sunni Muslims — where would we be today? The entire Muslim world would be aflame and in the streets."

"Sure, better intelligence is important. And, yes, better SWAT teams are critical to defeating the perpetrators quickly before they can do much damage. But at the end of the day, terrorists often are just acting on what they sense the majority really wants but doesn’t dare do or say. That is why the most powerful deterrent to their behavior is when the community (the muslim community) as a whole says: “No more. What you have done in murdering defenseless men, women and children has brought shame on us and on you.”"

When liberals start talking like this it makes me wonder if the Obama win has anything to do with it. Obama is president elect now and islamo crazies are still killing people, but not just in Israel or western countries.
This time in India. (actually they have been attacking India for quite sometime, but nothing spectacular enough to make the front page.)
So what's the deal?
Are they finally realizing the threat of islamofascism, or are they so invested in a successful Obama presidency that they are now willing to stand and be heard?

Ziegler Update

Remember this?

McCain voters knew which party controls congress by a 63-27 margin.
Obama voters got the “congressional control” question wrong by 43-41.
Those that got “congressional control” correct voted 56-43 for McCain.
Those that got “congressional control” wrong voted 65-35 for Obama.

The Day's Annoying Post

NYTimes paves the way for Obama and the Dems to receive full credit for Iraq victory. Expect this argument to be on lips of all Dems in the near future.

Some tasty morsels for you just so you know what you are getting yourself into.

"In 2003, the United States, under President Bush, invaded Iraq to change the regime. Terrible postwar execution and unrelenting attempts by Al Qaeda to provoke a Sunni-Shiite civil war turned the Iraqi geopolitical space into a different problem — a maelstrom of violence for four years, with U.S. troops caught in the middle. A huge price was paid by Iraqis and Americans. This was the Iraq that Barack Obama ran against."

"There is now, for the first time, a chance — still only a chance — that a reasonably stable democratizing government, though no doubt corrupt in places, can take root in the Iraqi political space."

"That is the Iraq that Obama is inheriting. It is an Iraq where we have to begin drawing down our troops — because the occupation has gone on too long and because we have now committed to do so by treaty — but it is also an Iraq that has the potential to eventually tilt the Arab-Muslim world in a different direction."

"If he (Obama) can pull this off, and help that decent Iraq take root, Obama and the Democrats could not only end the Iraq war but salvage something positive from it. Nothing would do more to enhance the Democratic Party’s national security credentials than that."

Annoying, isn't it?
Iraq IS a success for one reason. The U.S. never quit.
The Dems cannot take credit for that.

Rainbow Fisting

(Christmas shopping ideas for all your liberal friends)

Whether they are gay or just plain enlightened, liberals will proudly wear this Rainbow Fist t-shirt of solidarity. The fight against "Proposition H8" will give cause again to somewhat pointless lives and to a liberal, that is a gift that keeps on giving.

Don't embarrass your liberal friends or show them how out of touch you are by buying them a Che t-shirt or a Black Panther Fist t-shirt (though the Cobra Kai Fist t-shirt from the Karate Kid is pretty tits). This year, don't be an out-of-touch Republican. This year, you should stay ahead of the curve. Being current is very important to the Borg for it helps them to assimilate your uniqueness into their collective, as well as, help them to attract other Borg mates.
They are smarter than you.

Villagers Kill Male Babies to Prevent War

Read it here.

I got such a kick out of this quote, I had to post it.
"The report sympathetically portrays these women as desperate hut wives who, faced with tribal extinction, are forced to take extreme measures in order to survive. One wonders how sympathetic the writers of this story would be if the men of the tribe killed all of the female babies to prevent them from growing up and committing male infanticide."

Obama Will Be The President Of Change

But I don't think people understood that what he meant was "change" his mind.
Recently Obama appointed Volcker, who worked in the fed. during the Reagan revolution, as his economic advisor and has named Gates to stay on as secretary of defense. (which means we aren't leaving Iraq anytime soon.)

It appears Obama is more pragamatic than idealistic.
Therefore, the steps Obama took during his life (Wright, Ayers, memoirs, etc.), points more to political expediency than to a philosophy.
Which is fine by me.

To quote Glenn Reynolds - “Leaving the Bush tax cuts alone. Putting Iraq-war supporters in as Vice President and Secretary of State. And now keeping Bush’s Defense Secretary on. I’m beginning to feel like I won this election!”

See what the Politico has to say.

Here is a statement made by team Obama condemning the terrorist attacks in Mumbai.

“President-Elect Obama strongly condemns today’s terrorist attacks in Mumbai, and his thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the people of India. These coordinated attacks on innocent civilians demonstrate the grave and urgent threat of terrorism. The United States must continue to strengthen our partnerships with India and nations around the world to root out and destroy terrorist networks. We stand with the people of India, whose democracy will prove far more resilient than the hateful ideology that led to these attacks.”

Doesn't that statement sound like something Bush would say?

Karl Rove jumps on the Obama bandwagon...somewhat.

Wednesday Video

To start off I am posting this video for all of those who look at Thanksgiving as a time for mourning.



For the rest of us Thanksgiving is time to remember our families and our proud American heritage. The amount of generosity and goodness that comes from this nation has never seen it's equal. I think we all should be thankful for that.

For those of you who can't seem to get beyond the crimes of our past and the persecution of the Noble Savage, remember this, the majority of the Indians were sadly lost to an invisible killer shortly after first contact. Well before people even knew what a microbe was, or that Indians were so defenseless to them.

"The exhibit points out that disease was the chief cause of suffering after European contact. Therefore, the horrors that beset The Ancient Americas following 1492 would have happened if the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María had been manned by Jimmy Carter, the Dalai Lama, and Bono." - O'Rourke

Also, as Medved reminds us, how many people do you know who is 1/4 or 1/8 or even 1/32 indian? Countless? The settlers didn't kill the Indians, they slept with them. (Or did the indians sleep with the settlers? I get that confused.) :)

Don't let guilt get in the way of your Holiday.

Hey Moe, Aint Democracy A Bitch

Will have to wait and see where this leads.

(Moe Chavez) "In power for almost a decade, the popular anti-U.S. president won 17 of 22 states, but the opposition held onto the two states it won at the last regional elections four years ago, picked up three more and won the powerful mayoralty of the capital Caracas."

"(Opposition) winning six top posts that govern over almost half of the population,.."

Though I often lose faith in the average voter, things like this remind me why the people ultimately should have the right to decide.

"democracy is the worst form of Government except all those others" - W. Churchill

11/22/08 V.I. Day

Zombietime is calling for people to declare this day to be Victory In Iraq Day.

Why? Mostly because we can't wait for the media or the incoming or outgoing administrations to do it.

"An announcement from the outgoing Bush administration? It's not gonna happen. An announcement from the incoming Obama administration? That's really not gonna happen. A declaration of victory by the media? Please. Don't make me laugh. A concession of surrender by what few remaining insurgents remain in hiding? Forget about it.

And since there will never be a ticker-tape parade down Fifth Avenue in New York for our troops, it's up to us, the people, to arrange a virtual ticker-tape parade. An online victory celebration. "

Okay, I'll bite. Here is my on-line victory celebration.

YAY! HOORAY! YIPPIE! LET'S GO GET DRUNK!

Wait, I quit drinking.

Okay then, LET'S GO SNIFF GLUE!

Also, I thank the troops for their courage and sacrifice

and I especially thank one Charles Fant for the same reasons.

UPDATE: Check us out. We're on the list of participating blogs on Zombietime. We're in the big times now.

Finally, We Can Move On.

Now that Obama has been elected, the media need only spend about 80% of their airtime talking about him, freeing up the other 20% for other important stories. On my way to work today, during a 60 second commercial spot, the local news ran two ads. One was for a special look at how climate change threatens our future, especially our children (not making that up). The other was how online video games exploit and expose our children. I wonder how many children were abucted, raped and/or murdered while the media focused on it's Obama campaign. Halloween candy deaths must have been through the roof! Well, sacrifices must be made, I suppose.

Coke Kills Rainforest

I am only posting this because of this quote here
"These people, who have good jobs and drive a hybrid car or cycle to work because they care about the environment, may go to party and do some lines of coke and they are thinking it is no problem," Francisco Santos told The Associated Press Tuesday. "They are absolutely unaware of the ecological impact of their drug taking and we want to change that."

The Obligatory "Man Screws Everything Up" Post

At first I was buying the idea that people forced a newly discovered penguin species to extinction, but when the only scientist quoted in the article (a scientist who was not at all involved in the research) says,
"It is becoming apparent that some species can respond to things like climate change, and others cannot."
my eyes glazed over and I farted.

I wished they tested McCain voters as well, but eh...
I am sure McCain voters would have been able to answer such questions as who has a pregnant daughter, who said they could see Russia from their house (though Tina Fey said it I am still giving it to Palin.), who is William Ayers and who called to redistribute wealth. Of course I don't know for certain, but I think they could have answered those.
Then again, maybe not. I don't know. If they watched Fox news then they could.

Now that Obama has been elected, look how the Chicago Tribune is reporting the Iraq war.

"Today’s bombings in Iraq which left dozens dead is a stark and horrible reminder that, while violence has dropped significantly there as a result of the U.S. military’s surge, that country is still very dangerous.
It’s a measure of progress that today’s blasts, which killed at least 31 people in Baghdad and more elsewhere, according to the Associated Press, represented the worst day of violence since June. Less than two years ago such a time gap in major attacks was unheard of.
But it’s also true that the continuing violence indicates how difficult the challenge will be for President-elect Barack Obama. "

Its Hitting The Fan, And He's Not Even In Office

I don't understand anyone that states "lets give him a chance, maybe he's going to better than we expect". The fact that you don't expect much should be what scares you.

Case In Point.

McCain ran a MUCH more transparent campaign. Obama's was full of eyebrow raising instances. Yet who get audited because he used public funds? McCain.

No one will ever use public funds again. This ridiculous action by the FEC has made it so that no one in their right mind will use public funds. So much for any sort of accountability.

"I'm not going to use public funds so that I don't put undue stress on the people." has become "I want to cheat the hell out of this system, suckers."

$475 Million For What?

I must preface this discussion with the fact that, for years, I've thought space program spending is useless. Its a waste of money. Who cares about Mars? Really. In my world the budget cuts would start with NASA.

Did we really need to go to the moon over and over?

Latest case in point: this fiasco. $475 million to send a robot into space that tells us pretty much everything we already know about the red planet? I'm so confused. And it was planned that it would die after 5 months????

The more things change the more they stay the same

I usually am an innocent bystander on this web site, but do to recent events, maybe I will take a more active role. When I say recent events, I don't mean the election, but rather the love fest for George Bush and the Republicans on this site. I am a die in the wool no-government, free-market capitalist. Does that make me Republican? Based on how they behaved in the past 10 years, probably not. Yes, George Bush actually did something when it came to Iraq and Afghanistan. But are Republicans judged based on how they do in foreign affairs? Hopefully not. Hopefully they are judged based on the one core value EVERY Republicans claim to promote which is smaller government. If that is the sole criteria, then the Republicans scored a big F-. Read this nice article from Reason and tell me it does not ring true to you now that the election is over.

Does anyone have a Political Philosophy?

This is an interesting read from the CS Monitor. To sum up, it basically states that Republicans feel their party has been hijacked by big-spending, big government politicians and that Obama won the election because he promised lower tax cuts and an Audit of all Federal Agencies. It is basically up to the Republicans to reinvent themselves. WHAT? First, to have the Republicans admit publicly that they wasted their opportunity and resorted to pork barrel projects and big government is surprising. If they admit to it then it happened. Second, does either party have a core philosophy they follow? Are we looking for voters or are we trying to enact our political ideals? Basically, these are all symptoms to an overall problem. We think our party is supporting our beliefs, but as they said so themselves, they are not. So how do we fix this?

Hey Farrelly Bros., you can't redo The Three Stooges. It isn't yours to redo. It's like Steve Martin bringing back The Pink Panther.

I Am Going To Barf

If I know any of you as well as I think I do then I know this will make you sick.
It is a post called "from 52 to 48 with love" and it appears to be some sort of internet olive branch. Check it out. You'll get the point.

What makes me mad the most is that we will have to take this peace offering. That is who we are, but I wish the post was a little more honest.
Stuff like "I'm sorry I was a crazy fucking lunatic for the past 8 years. That was really rude of me. And all those times I called you warmongers and burned the flag and spit on George Bush, well that was way out of line. I am lib, what can I say. I think in emotional terms and sometimes I can't control them. Anyway, I hope you all forgive us and I hope that you don't follow our bad example and bash our new president without mercy." That would have been better.

I stole this from Ace of Spades. Make sure you read his post. He did a far better job summing up his frustration than I did.

p.s. If you noticed, the post is designed to make it seem that both 52 and 48 came together in a mutual effort of solidarity. I am sorry, but I am not buying it. I assume the idea was hatched and created primarily by lefties. Oh well, like I said, we'll have to take it.

Hello Mr. Kennedy, Errr..., Obama

I've been saying this for months. Obama's presidency will be a mix of JFK and Carter. Talk about a disaster.

I spent a whole semester studying the the Cuban missile crisis in my AP history class my senior year in high school. Yeah, I was/am a geek that way. Russia, our main enemy at the time, wanted to test a young, inexperienced president. And they did, and the result was the Cuban missile crisis, the bay of pigs disaster, and the Berlin wall.

A similar version is going to happen again, folks. More here. Barry 0's (yes that's a zero) consistency on wanting to offer group hugs instead of pointed spears has been heard by our enemies. They will start stepping up.

As this kind of stuff ramps up, Barry 0's attention will turn to foreign affairs. This will require him to give less time to his spreading the wealth, health care, carbon taxing, etc. He will be forced to defend freedom, or give up and let our enemies run all over him while he focuses on domestic issues instead.

If he does not defend freedom, people at home will be angry. If he does not follow through on his whole hope/change/yes-we-can mantra, people at home will be angry.

The honeymoon will be short. I'm going to keep saying it.

And heck, I'll throw this in here too. A bit long, but a great read. Not really related to the post topic either, but eh...

Yes On Prop. 8

John Cloud gives his take on why prop. 8 was passed in Calleeforneeya. (ala Arnold)

on the one hand he says
"hopes that in an Obama America, straight people would be willing to let gay people have the basic right to equality in their personal relationships. It appears not."

and on the other hand he says
"Part of the reason is that Obama inspired unprecedented numbers of African Americans to vote. Polls show that black voters are more likely to attend church than whites and less likely to be comfortable with equality for gay people."

Hmmmm... Very interesting, but I think he is wrong and a dummy. Prop. 8 passed 52.2% to 47.8% during this election, but only eight years ago, prop. 22 passed with a much higher percentage. 61% of the state voted to ban same sex marriage then, which means a higher percentage of voters voted for Gay marriage rights this time around than ever before. (I think ever before. How many times has this issue been on the ballot?) How does Mr. Cloud explain that? He doesn't.

The worst part about this article is that while he seems to toy with idea that blacks are to blame at first, the last three lines he solidifies it.

"The entire New York legislature is now in Democratic hands, and New York's governor, David Paterson, is one of the nation's most eloquent pro-marriage-equality representatives. He is also, by the way, African American. Perhaps he can help bridge the gap between gays and blacks that widened on Nov. 4."

Therefore, you people who voted yes on 8, don't worry about feeling guilty. It was the black christians fault.
