Oh Please! Let This Be Real!
I promise to eat all my cooked celery and I wont bitch when someone puts walnuts in the brownies.
Indeed... Worst Congress Ever!
It's Vacation Time, Baby!... Pelosi Adjourns House Without Addressing Gas Price Crunch.
At least they managed to apologize for slavery and Jim Crow before they left. I know how important and helpful that must be to the American people.
UPDATE: I think you will enjoy this.
What is the hold up? I hear the Dems are beholden to the Environmental Lobby, but if I start believing that I might seem like I am falling into conspiracy theories.
Right, Ka-pow?

Wow.
This is from the show wife swap. Apparently, this guy put his whole family on a raw food diet because his daughter was diagnosed with ADD, and this is what happened on the show. And it is hilarious. And disturbing.
Ha Ha!
With the Dem controlled congress having approval numbers 10-15 pts lower than Bush, many apologists didn't want to believe that the public was specifically targeting people like Pelosi and Reid, but that the public was upset with congress as a whole.
Ummmm... they might want to think again about that one.
Pelosis's book at #899 on list
UPDATE: Dropped to #926 and then to #1035

HereObama's Corner
This is a man who just keeps on giving.
While the rest of the world is trying to figure out what to do about producing more energy, Obama "the wise" says all we have to do make more energy is to inflate our tires and get tune-ups regularly. Now I am not much of a gear head and so I will ask the Baron on this one. BVM, how does one get a tune-up with todays cars? Do they still check the points, adjust the valves, yadda yadda. Ya know, tune-up stuff. I am serious, is his solution really an answer?
I just can't believe it. I mean all that just sounds wrong in my ears.
Ok, moving on.
Racist Obama, "the whiner", pulls out the race card card... again.
You are right, Obama. You don't look anything like "all those presidents" on those dollar bills. BECAUSE YOU AREN'T GOD DAMN PRESIDENT YET! Fucking Dick Head!
UPDATE: One reason why Obama should pick Hillary as his runningmate.

Half-Blood Prince
For those of you concerned about how Dumbledore will be portrayed in the next flick then check this quote I got from wikipedia."After Rowling stated that Dumbledore is gay, Gambon had been "camping up" around the set when off camera while filming Half-Blood Prince. However, it is expected that his on-screen performance remains without any change from the previous films."

Obama's Corner
I am now beginning to fully understand McCain's "Audacity of Hopelessness" slogan when talking about Obama. Just listen to Barack's words when talking about Iraq. Nothing but hopelessness and doom and gloom.
Thank God he was wrong. Way wrong!
UPDATE: Bush only served 7 1/2 of his 8 years as president. Obama finished off the rest.

We had an earthquake in Southern California yesterday. A 5.4. Not so big a deal. I didn't even realize it was an earthquake until somebody asked me if I felt it. I'm pretty used to them. The local media would like for me to panic more. I have yet to hear anyone blame this one on Garotzuva, but I'm sure it's coming.

I Am Making No Judgment Call
but Macmeda sent this.
Saul Hudson adds
Just three years ago, the Harper family was riding high. They were selected to be on Extreme Makeover, an all-volunteer effort where workers slave around the clock to turn a dilapidated shack into a glorious mansion in less than a week. And it didn't cost the family a thing. Now, they stand in horror as a bank tries to steal their house because the Harpers couldn't repay their debt.
Like many Americans at the height of the real estate bubble, the Harpers saw opportunity right beneath their feet. With their house as collateral, they took out a $450,000 loan to start a construction business. The Harpers banked on their celebrity to overshadow the fact that they couldn't even take care of their original house that was already built, let alone build an entire new house.
"So what if my house was literally falling apart, I don't know a thing about construction or running a business and the housing market was about to go into the crapper," Mr. Harper said. "What was I supposed to do, let my ATM, umm I mean, house just sit there with all that equity like some kind of chump? The house was nice and all, but it's all about how much cash you can take out these days."
The company failed shortly after it started and the Harpers stopped making payments on their loan. Now the bank plans to forclose. While the house may be gone, they are lucky enough to hang on to a few of the creature comforts that come with squeezing every ounce of equity from a house, including the luxury SUV that was leased through their now defunct construction company. But in addition to being victims of greedy banks, they are also being victimized by oil companies. "If it wasn't for those damn gas prices, we would still have that house," Mrs. Harper told CNN. "But at least we look important while we're driving around looking for places to rent. That's all that matters."
How Saul knows all this, I don't know, but it appears he is being tongue in cheek and that is all good.

Forget about Obama being the miracle man, what about McCain? Down by just one? and the USA today gallup poll gave McCain +4 (he was -6 a month ago) amongst likely voters. He did it in the Republican primaries and he just might do it again.

Fortunately the article does explain the GOP's position later in the article, but for people who skim, this is clearly designed to make it seem that the Dems want relief and the GOP doesn't. And in my bias, it is clearly the other way around.

Go Kimmy!
Here is the emailed story I received
The ex-cheerleader (age 19) in the picture was watching a road that led to a NATO military base when she observed a man digging by the road. She engaged the target, and she shot him. Turned out he was a bomb maker for the Taliban and he was burying an IED that was to be detonated when a US patrol walked by 30 minutes later. It would have certainly killed and wounded several soldiers.
The interesting fact of this story is the shot was measured at 725 yards. She shot him as he was bent over burying the bomb. The shot struck him in the butt blowing him
into the bomb which detonated. He was blown to pieces.
The Air Force made a motivational poster of her. Her name is Kimmy. To you, Kimmy, we say, HOO-AH! Thanks for your service. :-)

By contrast, the average pay for all 16 men on McCain's staff is $56,628 and the average pay for all 30 women is $59,104"

Why would anyone want to report on McCain? Other than the fact that he just might be our next president.
Wait a minute, now I am talking crazy talk.
In Manchester last night, there was just one reporter and one photographer waiting for McCain as his plane -- a white, blue and gold Boeing 737-400 emblazoned with his campaign slogan, "Reform, Prosperity, Peace" -- touched down on the Wiggins Airways tarmac.

Considering Recent Blogust Battles
It seems only fitting to post this.
I have said in the past that I find those insane radio shows that announce "1 out of 150 children will be diagnosed with autism" are just as crazy as the dyslexia scare in the 80's and the ADD, ADHD in the 90's. It is insesnsitive and inappropriate to poke fun at a child who has a disability like Savage is accused of doing, but I think it is even worse to misdiagnose a child with autism and then have them sent to a school for children with special needs rather than to a "regular" school.
I do believe there is an autism scare going on amongst parents these days and I also believe, like with dyslexia and ADD, it will be replaced with a new scare in the 2010's.
By the way, when you go to the link, read some of the comments. I think you might enjoy the debate.

Am I The Only One Who Finds These Photos Insulting?
I know, I know, Obama represents 1/2 the American people and the majority of anti-war Americans and he is an American politician who needed to make the trip and who has now made the trip, who went to Iraq not because of McCain's urging, but because he might be our next president. (God help us) He had to do it and he did it. And that is all good.But still... I just get this teeth grinding sensation when I look at these photos.
Is it just me?
Tour Of Duty?
The top three MSM news anchormen have joined Obama on his trip to Iraq and NBC now seems to be giving Obama military credentials by referring to his Iraq visit as a 'Tour Of Duty.'
Woman, Do My Dishes!!!
In order to be more culturally sensitive, team Obama issues dress code for female reporters.Hotair makes an oustanding point when they write...
"...wouldn’t women traveling to the Middle East already understand at least some of this, especially the journalists? This gives more than just a faint whiff of paternalism, lecturing professionals about how they should comport themselves. All appearances to the contrary, the media entourage does not work for Team Obama. One might think that the women of the press would get offended by treating them like schoolchildren or idiots."
This site has some great fashion tips for women reporters.

Al Gore Is A Retard.
Here's the whole article. Here's my favorite leap:
Gore called on the country to produce all of its electricity from renewable and carbon-free sources in 10 years, a goal he compared to President Kennedy's challenge for the country to put a man on the moon in the 1960s.
Practically the same thing.
Update: A much more thorough accent here, where he also compares his energy plan to the interstate freeway system and social security. There's two projects that involved a whole lot of foresight for ya. I'm going to donate the first $trillion right now!

Trying To Figure This Whole "Oil Speculator" Thing Out
I have read in the past that everytime Iran shoots off a missile or threatens to push Israel into the sea, the pice of oil goes up.
Recently, some dude over Pat Dollard, as well as, Hot Air claimed that oil dropped a record $9.00 due to Bush lifting the Executive ban.
Now the Fed has freed up 4 million acres in Alaska. Will it have an impact on the price of oil, or is this all B.S. and nobody really knows what is going on? Namely, me.

How Do You Spell Portland, Oregon?
B-I-C-Y-C-L-E, S-U-B-A-R-U
Here is the money quote
"But McAtee got in front of the Subaru and repeatedly struck the vehicle with his bike, Yates said."
My roommate told me about this story a few days ago and I just found it. As I have said before, cyclists are everywhere in this town and run ins are not unusual. (although, beating someone with a bike seems rather odd)
Even I had to deal with a "bicycle/car" situation when a cyclist, who was riding my tailpipe, rolled over the back of my car when I came to a stop.
But it doesn't end there. Just last week I saw this woman driver cussing out a cyclist riding down the road and let me tell you, there was serious venom.
Even my roommate had a little fun one night as he tailgated two cyclists while screaming "Hey Fixie!" out his sunroof. Literally! Stuck his head through the sunroof and yelled at them all while driving. It was Awesome!
Cheers to you Fellow ex-Jara's Patron.
Solution: Offshore Drilling! :-)

Interesting POV
I've surfed in Santa Barbara. Afterwards you are covered with oil spots on you and your board. Because of my biased schooling, I always thought it was from oil rigs. But then local surfers told me "Nope, its all natual". Which made more sense to me. If there's oil in that area, then the pressure of the earth pushing down on it might make it seep through cracks. It was then that I really started to change my opinion on offshore drilling.
This is an interesting discussion. Dirty ol' Mother Earth polluting herself...

My Two Cents
On Nancy Pelousy's response
"Once again, the oilman in the White House is echoing the demands of Big Oil."
Also says "same companies that are sitting on nearly 68 million acres of public lands and coastal areas."
Promoting once again that Bush can't be trusted, big companies and capitalism can't be trusted and that greed needs to be legislated. But what Pelousy isn't yelling nearly as loud, this is leased land the oil companies are sitting on. Not only is it leased, but still foreign. In other words, the land was leased so that it could be explored.
Oil companies, like all companies, use profits to not only fill their "big fat pockets", (as the dems would want you to believe) but also for research and finding where to drill in order to make their pockets even fatter. That is the beauty of greed. (by the way, remember that oil companies get 4% in profit while the govt. gets 15%)
What is most important to remember is that though Oil companies lease the land, it doesn't mean the land will yield oil. Now or ever. The oil has to be found first and if it is found, the technology has to be made available to pull it out of the ground, thus making oil profits very important.
What Pelosi's statements are designed to do is to make us believe that oil companies are intentionally sitting on fruitful and oil rich land and are greedily holding onto it in order to keep the price of gas up to maintain record profits and are now after our pristine wildlife.
But I ask you this, if the oil companies are turning oil rich fields into idle land in order to keep prices up, then why were oil companies drilling more, refining more, researching more in the 1980's (before heavy govt. crackdown) when the price of gas was only $0.80 a gallon?

Maliki Never Asked For A Timetable
A week ago, the Iraqi PM asked for a timetable for a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, or did he?
Here is the quote
"the direction is towards either a memorandum of understanding on their evacuation, or a memorandum of understanding on a timetable for their withdrawal".
Now it turns out that this is what he really said.
"The direction is towards either a memorandum of understanding on their evacuation, or a memorandum of understanding on programming their presence."
Here is the reason for the mistake.
Mr Maliki's own office had inserted the word "withdrawal" in the written version, replacing the word "presence".
Here is the quote
"the direction is towards either a memorandum of understanding on their evacuation, or a memorandum of understanding on a timetable for their withdrawal".
Now it turns out that this is what he really said.
"The direction is towards either a memorandum of understanding on their evacuation, or a memorandum of understanding on programming their presence."
Here is the reason for the mistake.

Greatest Rock Video Ever
I don't know if this is to honor Gorbachov or what, but it sure is entertaining.

Somalians Weren't Responsible For "Black Hawk Down"...
It was Global Warming.
Good thing Garotzuva is now dead. We can avoid disasters like this in the future and not go blaming it on the poor defensless Somalians for killing Americans, since they were only doing it for the food, or blame it on St. Clinton for retreating.

Ball In Dems Court
Bush will lift executive ban on offshore drilling. If the Dem congress follows suit, one will wonder if their is anything he can't do. For better or worse, Bush gets what he wants, even with a Dem majority. Except of course, Social Security reform and Harriet Miers.
Not bad for a lame duck president.

Carcharadon Carcharius
I have seen a ton of different spellings of that name, but however you spell it, it only means one thing.
THE MOST EVIL S.O.B. ON THE PLANET!
I only posted this for two reasons:
1.) Because they give me a heart attack

China Takes Dog Off The Menu For Olympics
In a major push to hide who they are and what they stand for, the Chinese government has now taken dog off the menu for the Olympics.
Am I the only person who finds this whole Chinese Olympic circus a complete and total joke?
No fireworks, no spitting, no driving on certain days, and on and on and on...
What are they so ashamed of?
UPDATE: On second thought, maybe they aren't hiding who they are. Maybe they are showing the rest of the world exactly what they believe in. And that is, the Chinese Government is a bunch of control freaks.
WARNING: Do not click this image if you are a dog lover.

Political T-Shirts
Here are a few of my favorite politcal t-shirts.
But the best one by far is this one below and it isn't even supposed to be funny.
Read here to get the story behind the t-shirt. You wont believe the arrogance.

More Regulaton Is The Answer #2
I'm so confused as to how the people who are key to running one of the most powerful capitalist systems don't understand that certain businesses failing is a natural part of that system.
Bush Gives The Finger To Garotzuva
Well, sorta. Still, here is another reason why he is the man.
UPDATE: He is definitely much cooler than these two. Warning, this article might annoy you. Don't get me wrong, garden enthusiasts and people coming up with new ways to save money are alright by me. But the fact that it all centers around "carbon footprint" well it just makes me... ummm... sorta sick. I don't know why, but it does.

More Regulation Is The Answer
I got this strange email from Hawaiian Airlines today. I disagree overall with their argument. Regulation is a 4 letter word no matter how you spell it. Speculators offer us insight to the future price and demand of oil. They spend lots of time and money doing research. They provide a valuable crystal ball as to our world's needs. Yes, they may be partially responsible for the price, but this letter does not address the simple world demand for oil versus supply.
Why spend time regulating and creating yet more government when removing government regulations would foster more competition, more exploration, and more supply of oil and other energy sources.
Finally, I'm sure the airliines try to fight regulation of their industry at every turn, yet here they are turning speculators into these evil people who need to be regulated.

Our President.
In his article, he reminds us all of the wonderful Bushisms we were able to enjoy the last 7 1/2 years. And in my opinion, no one captured the essence of those isms better than Frank Caliendo.
Just saw this video last night and thought it was great.

Gotta Love Merkel
Despite the media trying to use these images to show Merkel's disgust for Bush and to show how inappropriate of a man he is, the truth is, the two get along very well and Germany has been a much better ally to the U.S. since Merkel beat Schroeder out of office.As for Obama, who knows how they will get along if he becomes president (God Forbid), but she does find this inappropriate.

Is This Racist?
Or smart business?
I say smart business, but what do I know. I agree that if the shoe was on the other foot then there would be an uproar amongst the Al Sharpton types, but then again, if the shoe was on the other foot, I would think it was smart business then too.
I have no problems with African-Americans voting for Obama just because he is black. Just like I have no problems with liberal white guilt college kids voting for Obama just because he is black.

Last Stand?
For those who haven't been following, Mosul is about to fall out of the hands of AQI. By all accounts, operation Lion's Roar has been a whopper of a victory for U.S. and Iraqi forces.
Over at Hotair they have this quote.
"The American commander in the region, Gen. Mark Hertling, calls it “the irreversible point”".
But don't expect the MSM to give you any info on this stunning victory.
Last but not least, here is the best news of them all.
Only one U.S. death in Iraq so far this month and it was non-combat related.
?????
I don't know what is more baffling about this ad, the item itself, or the "Engrish" description.
"This heat which continues still. Especially, because the white-collar worker has done the necktie, the wind being difficult to enter in the body, all the more it is hot, it is, don't you think?.
Such a time, just a little it is introduction of the cool item. Because the USB necktie cooler, when you connect with USB of the personal computer, the fan of built-in turning, sends the air facing toward the neck origin, it makes cool slightly, it is.
Now, pass also while working to be cool the [chi] [ya] it is comfortably!"

Americans No Longer Most Obnoxious Tourists
Here you go
It's funny, I guess it is OK to be racist just as long as you attach "tourist" to the end of your racist comments.
Let's try it. Instead of
"the French are now considered the most obnoxious tourists from European nations, and behind only Indians and the last-place Chinese as the worst among all countries worldwide. And it's not only the rest of the world that have a gripe with the Gallic attitude"
We'll do this.
the Fuckin' Frog Tourists are now considered the most asshole-like tourists from European nations, and behind only Dotted Haji Tourist Mother Fuckers and the last-place Chink Me Hung Low Tourists as the worst among all countries worldwide. And it's not only the rest of the world that have a gripe with the Alchy Mic attitude...ummm ...Tourist.

It's a smart choice to go to climate change over Global Warming. Climate change can actually mean anything. I wonder if this island ever went through any other periods of climate change?Wednesday, July 02, 2008
