Happy Belated, Sadaam

I'm so sorry I missed your birthday party yesterday Sadaam. It just zipped right past me.
I've been so busy lately, what with my steady job, my rennovations, and my life. You know, the daily things we take for granted that the people of your country are finally starting to enjoy now that you aren't around to torment, torture, maim, kill and rape them.

But nonetheless, I hope you had a nice birthday. Similar to what the people of your rule would have had.
I hope you had many wonderful gifts bestowed upon you such as a big hard dick shoved up your ass or down your throat. Or maybe a suitable substitute such as the muzzle of a gun.

Perhaps you got your hand chopped off? Arm? Both arms?

Maybe you were able to think back - reminisce a little - on the deaths of your sons. Was there any pain or rememberance of their loss? How you miss them?

I'm sure there are still many people in that great nation of yours who have such an opportunity.

Anyway Sadaam, happy belated birthday and all the best. You fuck.


Allah be praised.

Spitzer Sues Intermix Over 'Spyware':

"ALBANY, N.Y. - New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer sued a major Internet marketer Thursday, blaming it for secretly installing software that delivers nuisance pop-up advertisements and can slow and crash personal computers.

Shares of the company, Intermix Media Inc., fell 83 cents, or 17 percent, to close at $3.97 on the American Stock Exchange.

Spitzer accuses Intermix of redirecting computer users to Web sites where ads get displayed, adding unnecessary toolbars to Web browsers and delivering unwanted ads that pop up on computer screens."

A pat on the back goes to Spitzer. Here's hoping he keeps it up.

Dear Dad

A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the center of the bed. It was addressed, "Dad".

With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands:

Dear Dad, It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you. I've been finding real passion with Joan and she is so nice-even with all her piercing, tattoos, and her tight Motorcycle clothes.

But it's not only the passion dad, she's pregnant and Joan said that we will be very happy. Even though you don't care for her as she is so much older than I, she already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. She wants to have many more children with me and that's now one of my dreams too.

Joan taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and we'll be growing it for us and trading it with her friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Joan can get better; she sure deserves it!!

Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren.

Your son,
John

PS: Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbor's house.
I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card that's in my desk center drawer.

I love you! Call when it is safe for me to come home.

Fun Facts About Michael Moore-on

Since it has been a somewhat slow news period for His Wideness, I'll post some possible facts about him:

He was never breast fed.

The babysitter used to give him wine in his bottle instead of grape juice.

She got tired of him whining even back then.

When he was a young lad, he was dropped on his head.

Several times.

And shaken.

Not hard enough.

Before the age of ten, he had several albums full of pronogr@phic pictures he shot with his brownie camera.

Of his mother.

The reasoning behind his lead ass is the paint chips he consumed for several years.

He should really do a documentary on lead asses poisoning.

He is still a virgin.

Ohmygawd. The visualizations.

At any given time, there are approximately 3-4 ounces of food in his mouth.

3-4 grams stuck in his teeth.

30-40 pounds on each butt cheek.

His turds weigh more than the commode.

He sweats more standing up from that commode than any six actors in the latest Gatorade commercial.

Which could be up to three US gallons.

2.5 Canadian.

Which is where he should go do all of his sweating.

The fuckwad.

Many Say End of Firearm Ban Changed Little

"Despite dire predictions that the streets would be awash in military-style guns, the expiration of the decade-long assault weapons ban last September has not set off a sustained surge in the weapons' sales, gun makers and sellers say. It also has not caused any noticeable increase in gun crime in the past seven months, according to several metropolitan police departments."

Of course, those of us with with more than one living brain cell already knew this.

"The uneventful expiration of the assault weapons ban did not surprise gun owners, nor did it surprise some advocates of gun control. Rather, it underscored what many of them had said all along: that the ban was porous - so porous that assault weapons remained widely available throughout their prohibition."

Once again. Try to keep up with me now:

• It's not the car having a mind of it's own that chooses to run into somebody

The Good Ole' Boy network of former Las Vegas.

I say 'former' because it is a different city without the mob running the casinos.
Yes, they had a major influence over operations, personnel, counts, you name it. Tony Spilatro and his ilk were scattered throughout several of the major casinos and were well versed at skimming (taking their cut from the money counts before the money was accounted for by casino operations or the Gaming Control Board), and breaking knuckles, legs and skulls of anyone who interfered with their operation.

Our current mayor, Oscar Goodman, was a defense attorney for many of the supposed mob figures back in the day. He referred to them as 'Good clients' who kept him quite busy.
I'm sure they did.

If you get the chance, watch the movie "Casino". It is supposed to be an interpretaion of those days. Joe Pesci plays the part of who would have been Tony Spilatro and Sharon Stone plays his plaything. I forget the rest of the cast, but it is a good movie.

NUCLEAR DISASTER AT CHERNOBYL:
April 26, 1986

On April 26, 1986, the world's worst nuclear power plant accident occurs at the
Chernobyl nuclear power station in the Soviet Union. Thirty-two people died and
dozens more suffered radiation burns in the opening days of the crisis, but only
after Swedish authorities reported the fallout did Soviet authorities
reluctantly admit that an accident had occurred.

Yup, the russkies wouldn't admit there was anything wrong until the problem was quite widespread.
Could anything else have been done about it? Dunno. Maybe some of the affected areas could have had some evacuations. Maybe they still wouldn't have had time. But at least they would have known and been able to decide for themselves, and maybe make some preparations.

Well, NASA sent a prode to the comet Tempel-1:

"NASA successfully launched its Deep Impact spacecraft — comprised of a “fly-by” spacecraft and a smaller “impactor” carrying some 350 kilograms of a copper-based explosive — on Jan. 12 with the aim of studying the nature of comets. The spacecraft’s “impactor” is expected to form a large crater enabling scientists to look inside the comet. The scientific objectives of the mission, according to NASA, seem innocent enough: just measure the crater and examine the composition of its interior."

That's right, they're going to send a probe to the comet and blast the hell out of it so they can take a look at the insides.

Well, someone's not happy:

'Now, the last thing NASA expected was a lawsuit from Russia.

But Russian astrologist Marina Bai gave it a try, and, according to her lawyer Alexander Molokhov, it looks like she may just pull it off. In a lawsuit she filed last month with the Presnensky district court in Moscow, Bai is demanding that NASA call off its $311 million operation, with the spacecraft already in its cruise phase. She also wants 8.7 billion rubles (the ruble equivalent of the entire cost of the mission) in compensation for moral damages.'

'“The actions of NASA infringe upon my system of spiritual and life values, in particular on the values of every element of creation, upon the unacceptability of barbarically interfering with the natural life of the universe, and the violation of the natural balance of the Universe,” Bai said in her claim.'

Some tree-hugging, whale-petting, earth-kissing, dope-smoking, granola-munching, comet-saving, lefty wingnut is being 'spiritually infringed upon' because we're tossing a load of dynamite at a big snowball floating around space millions of miles away, which is eventually going to be totally disintegrated in time anyway.

Fla. Gunman Puts Car 'Out of Its Misery'

LAUDERDALE-BY-THE-SEA, Fla. - A man with car trouble is in trouble after shooting five rounds into the hood of his Chrysler "to put my car out of its misery."

John McGivney, 64, shot his 1994 LeBaron with a .380-caliber semiautomatic, Broward County sheriff's deputies said.

When the property manager at his apartment complex asked what he was doing, McGivney said, "I'm putting my car out of its misery." He tucked his gun in a pocket and went back inside.

He was arrested Friday on a misdemeanor charge of discharging a firearm in public. He posted $100 bail Saturday.

McGivney said the car has been giving him trouble for years and had "outlived its usefulness." He called the shooting "dumb" and worries he will be evicted. But he doesn't regret it.

"I think every guy in the universe has wanted to do it," McGivney told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "It was worth every damn minute in that jail."

His biggest problem was the use of the .380. If he was really serious he would have used something with a little more punch.

Newsflash: ESPN has bought the rights for Monday Night Football away from ABC. This much we know. But it makes me wonder what they have up their sleeve.

As you probably already know, ESPN was trying to get themselves as a subscription channel on cable and/or satellite, much like HBO or Cinemax or whatever, because they figgered they weren't making enough money being a regular old added package to extended cable service.

Well it turns out, they must be doing ok to spend $100 billion dollars for MNF. But nevertheless, this makes me wonder if as the time approaches for them to be showing MNF, are they going to turn theselves into a subsscription channel? They've got the lock on the games, they could very well start charging the cable companies extra, which would of course, be passed on to the subscriber.

There are many subscribers who would no way go without the games.

Colorado Man Resuscitates Chicken:
"COLLBRAN, Colo. - First there was Mike the Headless Chicken, a rooster that survived for 18 months after having its head lopped off with an ax.

Now, western Colorado has a new chicken survival story, this one involving a man who claims he saved his fowl by giving it mouth-to-beak resuscitation.

Uegene Safken says one of the chickens in his young flock had gotten into a tub of water in the yard last week and appeared to have died.

Safken said he first swung the chicken by the feet to revive it. When that failed, he continued swinging and blowing into its beak.

'Then one eye opened. I thought it was an involuntary response,' Safken said. The chicken's beak opened a little wider, and Safken started yelling at it: 'You're too young to die!

'Every time I'd yell at him, he'd chirp,' Safken said.

Mike the Headless Chicken survived a beheading in 1945 in Fruita, Colo. Afterward, Mike could go through the motions of pecking for food, and when he tried to crow, a gurgle came out. His owner put feed and water directly into Mike's gullet with an eyedropper.

Scientists examined the chicken and theorized Mike had enough of a brain stem left to live headless. He was a popular attraction until he choked to death on a corn kernel."

The first scenario - the headless chicken - is a stretch. I would like to see the picture, see just how much of the head/brain was remaining.

But the second scenario - the drowning - is just, well...Why?

First of all, I can't get past the imagery. Some idiot out in the barnyard swing a chicken around by the feet. That's bad enough. But for him to then stop swinging it around and start blowing into its beak? Good lord that must have been a sight.

Anyway, forget reviving it. Pluck it, clean it and put it on the rotisserie.

Okay, This Really puzzles Me

I know all about the liberal media and their lefty bias. It's a fact, they prefer to report blood and guts, murder, mayhem, anything and everything that will shock and awe the viewer, grabbing their attention and raising ratings so they make more money. It's a business and it is ran by business people.

But, why is it that they just can't seem to find it in their schedule to report any decent news whatsoever?
Take this story for example, which if you happen to notice, was reported by the BBC:

"Two years after the statue of Saddam Hussein was toppled in Baghdad, marking the fall of the city to US-led forces, BBC Arabic.com asked seven Iraqis for their thoughts on how life has changed for them since the conflict.

Here are their stories."

A rather dramatic beginning to the story, but whatever. Read on:

SAAD , 32, BASRA, SOUND ENGINEER
"The previous regime used to tell us what to read, what to watch and what to listen to.
...
The previous regime used to tell us what to say and what work we could do. It would decide how much we earned. Indeed, we did not even get salaries but "gifts" from the president."
...

NOURA, 32, BAGHDAD, COMPUTER ENGINEER
"While we lost security after Saddam's fall, we gained our freedom and a chance to build a new society.
...
The question is: Will Iraqis seize this opportunity, or will they let sectarianism and disagreement lead their lives?"

KABAN, 31, BAGHDAD, ELECTRICAL ENGINEER
"There have been many changes since the fall of Saddam's regime, but the most important change was that we feel free."

So they feel more free now than they ever have. They can watch what they want on teevee, say what they want without fear of the secret police hauling them off or killing them where they stand, and they don't have to worry about their families as much any more.
But it isn't all roses just yet:

IMAD MOHAMED, 25, BAGHDAD, UNIVERSITY GRADUATE
After the regime change in Iraq, I expected radical changes in Iraqi society. I hoped things would improve.

This is true in some cases. For example, as an Iraqi, I am no longer afraid that the secret security service will arrest me.

I am no longer afraid that I could be tortured, jailed, or killed simply because some officials do not like me.

I am no longer worried about losing my dignity or my life. And I am also getting a higher income, like most Iraqis.
...
However, public services such as electricity and water supplies have not improved.
...

Well no surprise here, he's a college student.
There have been radical changes. Granted, more changes need to be made, and they are on the way. But they're not going to show up on the front lawn overnight. Especially while there are still hundreds of crazies running around shooting at us.

Anyway, I had to read this story on the BBC website because it just isn't something we would see reported on our regular American Made news sources.
It's just too bad so many people are swayed or even ignorant to the rest of the world, because the lack of decent storytelling here in the U.S.

Fuck Tiger Woods

Here's my obligitory 'Masters' post.

I like golf - I like to play it and I like to watch it. You get some superstars together for a big tournament like the Masters, and it's a weekend well spent. This provided you get to take advantage of it instead of doing maintenance or improvements on the domicile.

But for chrissakes. Tiger isn't the only player in that tournament. There are a whole truckload of other excellent players who we never get to see slap a ball, because all the cameras seem to be pointed at Tiger.
He's a great golfer, I wouldn't dare take that away, but he's also one lucky sumbitch. Fate, or the 'Golf Gods' were in his corner yesterday. That's all there is to it.

This is my dream: To see wider coverage of the rest of the Masters playing in The Masters.

Allah be praised.

Sierra Club Members Vote on Immigration:

"The club's 750,000 members are voting this month on whether the 113-year-old organization should push for tighter restrictions on immigration, and on five seats on the 15-member board of directors, which sets club policy and commands the $100 million annual budget."

Stay tuned next week when the NAACP votes on the price of a barrel of oil.

This Day in History

From THE HISTORY CHANNEL

APOLLO 13 LAUNCHED TO MOON:
April 11, 1970

On April 11, 1970, Apollo 13, the third lunar landing mission, is successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, carrying astronauts James A. Lovell, John L. Swigert, and Fred W. Haise. The spacecraft's destination was the Fra Mauro highlands of the moon, where the astronauts were to explore the Imbrium Basin and conduct geological experiments.
...
At 9:00 p.m. EST on April 13, Apollo 13 was just over 200,000 miles from Earth. The crew had just completed a television broadcast and was inspecting Aquarius, the Landing Module (LM).

The next day, Apollo 13 was to enter the moon's orbit, and soon after, Lovell and Haise would become the fifth and sixth men to walk on the moon.

At 9:08 p.m., these plans were shattered when an explosion rocked the spacecraft. Oxygen tank No. 2 had blown up, disabling the normal supply of oxygen, electricity, light, and water. Lovell reported to mission control: "Houston, we've had a problem here," and the crew scrambled to find out what had happened.
...

It was very impressive how they made it back, and that they made it back at all.

Truckload of beer flips; driver not injured

“It is sad,” said Capt. Scott Logan of the Halifax Regional Fire Service. “Chances are they won’t recover any of the beer.”

“I had a tear in my eye, actually, when I was watching it,” said Halifax Regional Police Const. Mark Hobeck. “It was full of beer. We were hoping a Hostess truck full of pretzels would come by, but no such luck.”

At least he has a sense of humor.

According to this article, the 'Minutemen'/'vigilates' have caught 140+ illegals crossing the border in two days.
I say good for them. Something needs to be done and they're off to a good start.

So far, they have maintained an order of discipline and no one has been killed (that we know of). This favors quite well for the Minutemen.

Now the New Mexico governor wants a similar crew in his state.

A little old lady, well into her eighties, slowly enters the front door
of a sex shop. Obviously very unstable on her feet, she shakily wobbles
the few feet across the store to the counter. Finally arriving at the
counter and grabbing it for support, she asks the sales clerk:

Ddddooo youuuu hhave ddddiilllldosss?

The clerk, poliely trying not to burst out laughing, replies: "Yes we do
have dildos; actually we carry many different models."

The old woman then asks: "Dddddoooo yyyouuuu ccaarrryyy aaa pppinkk

"Modern rock icon Kurt Cobain is dead. His body was discovered inside his home in Seattle, Washington, three days later by Gary Smith, an electrician, who was installing a security system in the suburban house. Despite indications that Cobain, the lead singer of Nirvana, killed himself, several skeptics questioned the circumstances of his death and pinned responsibility on his wife, Courtney Love."

Seeing Red

Give me a fucking break:

Red Falls Out of Favor As Teacher's Choice: "...Red writing, they said, was 'stressful.' The principal said teachers were just giving constructive advice and the color of ink used to convey that message should not matter. But some parents could not let it go.

So the school put red on the blacklist. Blue and other colors are in."
...

How did I ever survive my school days?

I had red ink all over my papers. I had a teacher paddle my ass more than once for a 'no tolerance' policy on chewing gum in class. I walked to school every day - even in the winter, when it was so cold out that my freshly showered hair would be fozen before I got a hundred feet from my door.

Let's all go hug a tree, pet an owl and sing "Kumba-ya", in between bites of granola and bong hits.
Ridiculous.

"American Indians' heightened sensitivity to the word came about in 1992 after an activist announced on a television talk show that squaw is derived from a vulgar Mohawk word.
Linguists maintain 'squaw' means 'woman' in the language of the Massachusett tribe, which once lived on the East Coast."

I don't know any indian languages. But any reference to squaw I've heard meant that the woman was someone's wife.

They're supposed to be fighting the 'war on drugs'. So as far as I'm concerned, if they're on the other side, it is a treasonous act and they should be punished accordingly.

Here's A Funny

Sleeping Beauty, Tom Thumb, and Quasimodo were all talking one day.
Sleeping Beauty said, "I believe myself to be the most beautiful girl in the world."
Tom Thumb said, "I must be the smallest person in the world."
Quasimodo said, "I absolutely have to be the ugliest person in the world."

So they decided to go to the Guinness Book of World Records to have their claims verified.

Sleeping Beauty went first and came out looking deliriously happy. "It's official, I AM the most beautiful girl in the world."

Tom Thumb went next and emerged triumphant, "I am officially the smallest person in the world."

Sometime later, Quasimodo came out looking confused and simply stated, "Who the hell is Camilla Parker Bowles?"
