I was still on my vacation (Heh! Vacation from retirement.) last week and in a mellow mood from Camp Blownstar and my trip to St. Louis that I didn't have an Asshole of the Week last week. So, why don't I make the two people who would have gotten the award last week, be the recipients this week? Yep! They're gonna get to share the award. Who could it possibly be? Why not a couple of racists? Yep. It's Henry Louis Gates and Jug Hussein Ears for playing the race card.
They had a beer with the white cop and Joe Biden at the White House yesterday. Had I been the white cop, I would have turned the invite down. I don't like drinking with race hustlers.
So to Gates and JHE, here is your award.
Update: More proof that the white cop is a racist. He's perpwalking Gates down the steps.
Stole it from here. Compare and contrast.
I just was notified by my online bill paying service that one of my automatic payments was over the threshold I had set. It was my AT&T bill and it had a 22.95 charge from some company called OAN Services.
After contacting AT&T, they gave me a number to talk with that company. It seems that I had "signed up" for VOIP with them. They said they had called me. Nope. They hadn't. Ir, if they had, I hadn't answered. They also said they had e-mailed me. They had my blog e-mail address. That address is only used for my blog. Not for anything else. I'm sure it dropped into my spam bucket as I never saw it and, as such, never answered it. They said they would credit my bill and gave me a confirmation number. We'll see what happens.
I googled OAN Services and it turns out they've been ripping off a lot of people. So start checking your phone bill every month for charges from this ripoff company.
From Woody.
He's not the only person who uses Liagra. Someone else does. It's prolly the official ED drug of the Dimocrat Party.
Remember during BJ's years we suffered "Clinto fatigue" due to all of the Clinton scandals? Well guess what? It's only six months into his reign and some people are already suffering from Jug Hussein Ears fatigue
A 78-year-old Carroll woman says she's so tired of seeing President Barack Obama on the airwaves that she's selling her television sets - two of them.Deloris Nissen, a retired nurses' aide and former Kmart employee who was raised on a farm near Audubon, placed a classified advertisement with The Daily Times Herald for Friday's paper.
In the $5.50 ad, Nissen tells readers she has two television sets for sale.
The reason: "Obama on every channel and station."
It is getting a little tiring what with all of his press conferences and stuff. The networks are getting tired of it as well as fewer and fewer are televising his press conferences. I mean, if I wanted to see someone throwing softballs, like the White House press corps, I'll watch softball on ESPN.
In an interview Nissen said she is serious about selling two TVs - and genuine about her disgust with what she believes to be an overexposed president."I just got tired of watching him on every channel," Nissen said. "I thought, my gosh, does he ever stay at the White House?"
Now that we have a Dimocrat president, it's OK for him to take vacations and play golf. In JHE's case, I'd prefer he take even more vacations and play even more golf. The less he governs, the better off we are.
Nissen, who voted for U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in the 2008 presidential election, said she could live with seeing Obama come on television to make serious announcements. But he seems to be on all the time, Nissen said.When the president does appear on a channel she happens to be watching, Nissen said, she quickly turns.
"I have the remote real handy," Nissen said. "I have the batteries. I'm ready for him."
It's kinda like Monday Night Football when Howard Cosell was on. My friend George would always hit the mute button. There was also a bar that would hold a raffle and use the money to buy a TV set. The winner got to throw a brick at the TV as soon as Howard Cosell came on. There's an idea for a contest. Do this for a JHE press conference.
Obama's own advisers and political observers across the ideological spectrum have for months debated whether the now popular president is overexposed.
Short answer? Yes. But keep it up. The more that he is on TV the lowere his approval ratings go. It looks like the American public is finally wising up to this empty suit.
One Big Ass Mistake America!
C'mon, they were just mispronouncing BO.
Stole it from Surber.
Greg sent me this toon about the upcoming beer party with Gates, Jug Hussein Ears, and the white "racist" cop.
Wonder if they'll be drinking Barack Beer?
Amy sent me this article.
WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA)--It's a dog-eat-dog world out there when Fido wants to "play" and Fluffy wants no part of it.
I've met a few Fluffies in my life. Damn bitches!
Well, Fido has a new toy available to him to alleviate his pent-up sexual frustrations: the DoggieLoveDoll.
Holy crap! What will they think of next? A dildo for Fluffy?
Made in Brazil by Petsmiling, the company, which also has offices in Miami, says this is the first dog sex toy.
Nothing like being on the bleeding edge.
"Dogs have a great sexual appetite and this novelty, surely will better their lives," says a company press release.
Do you have one for BJ Clinton? He's nailed a bunch of dogs in his time.
Made of soft rubber, the toy comes in 3 sizes--small, medium and large. It also comes with a tube of water-based lubricant to "increase the useful life of the doll."The small toy will set Fido's owner back $85; the medium costs $110 and the large goes for $135.
It may be safe to say, if the DoggieLoveDoll does its "thing" your friends will be happier--no more Fido humping their leg.
Catfish came up with a cure for that, but that's a topic for another post.
As Marco Giroto, the owner of Petsmiling says, "During the doll's test period with a few canines, including the Maltese, "Flock" (the company owner's dog responsible for the idea), the pets showed a better quality of life based on less anxiety, less barking, and less territorial demarcation. In other words, the dogs live a better life, satisfying their repressed sexuality, in some cases for many years."
So if you love your male dog, get him one of these. It's all about quality of life.
Let's hear it for global warming climate change. Chicago is experiencing the coldest July in 67 years.
CHICAGO (CBS) ― Have you you left your air conditioner in the closet this summer, and worn long pants more often than shorts? If so, you may not be surprised to find out that Chicago is seeing its coldest July in more than 65 years.
Has Pope Albert I of the Church of AGW taken up residence in Chcago?
The National Weather Service says 2009 has seen the coldest July since the official recording station was moved away from the lakefront in 1942. The average temperature this month in Chicago has been a mere 68.9 degrees.
But I thought the planet was warming. Has Chicago been exempt from global warming? Or maybe Jug Hussein Ears took all the hot air with him to Washington DC.
Even in the years before 1942, when the National Weather Service recorded temperatures at the cooler lakefront, there are only three years that had colder Julys through the 26th.There have also been far more days than usual with high temperatures less than 80 degrees this year. In 2009, there were 13 days where the temperature did not exceed 80 degrees. Only three Julys in the past 67 years have had more days in Chicago with highs less than 80 – there were 18 such days in 1992, and 14 in 1996 and 2000.
We have also failed to reach 90 degrees at any time this month.
Yep! Sounds like global warming to me.
But the good news is that homeowners this summer have been seeing a big break on their electric bills. Air conditioning usage, according to ComEd earlier this month, is way down from last year and has saved residents an average of $50 since June, compared with last year.In addition to the mild weather, Com Ed's cost of power was also down 9 percent as of July 17, a savings passed on to you. Your natural gas price has been down even more, 27 percent. Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas estimate a typical home customer will pay $500 less this year than last year.
Keep this up and we won't need crap and tax.
Too bad Pumpman is no longer with us. He'd just love this video that Darrell sent me.
Dick sent this to me. I don't know who wrote this but he nailed it!
Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of A desert. Congress said, "someone may steal from it at night.." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job..Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without
instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two
people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time
studies.Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing
The tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and
hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports.Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So
They created the following positions, a time keeper, and a payroll officer,
Then hired two people.Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these
people?" So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one
Year and we are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost."So they laid off the night watchman.
NOW slowly.
Let it sink in.
Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter.
Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY .... During the Carter Administration?Anybody?
Anything?
No?
Didn't think so!
Bottom line. We've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of An agency ... the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember!
Ready?? It was very simple ... and, at the time, everybody thought it
Very appropriate.The Department of Energy was instituted on 8-04-1977. TO LESSEN OUR
DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.Hey, pretty efficient, huh???
AND, NOW, IT'S 2009 -- 32 YEARS LATER -- AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS
"NECESSARY" DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR.
THEY HAVE 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT
EMPLOYEES; AND, LOOK AT THE JOB THEY HAVE DONE!
THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY, "WHAT WAS I THINKING?"Ah, yes -- good ole bureaucracy.
And, NOW, we are going to turn the banking system, HEALTH CARE and the auto
industry over to the same Government?
Cycling down from my road trip. Plus I have a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Sommelier Guild of Atlanta tonight. That's where the Board gets together at a restaurant, drinks wine (everyone has to bring at least one bottle of wine from his cellar), eats food, and decides on what wines we will drink at upcoming events. And the Guild pays for the meal. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. So, since I spent a half hour fixing my site problem (out of disk space) and I'm just plain lazy, here's sumpin' from Ron.
As a matter of principle, I refuse to watch or hear the grossly unqualified and even more grossly overhyped Precedent President speak. If necessary, I will read summarized transcripts of or printed excerpts from his comments on matters I deem important. This policy is one I began long ago, during the insipid Carter administration, to preclude my destroying furniture or disrupting my own household from the effects of rage and disgust at public servants who posture and lie to the citizenry from whom they acquire all power and income.Before you assume that my behavior is based on Mr. Soetoro's pigmentation, consider that I did NOT watch Reagan or Bush I or Slick Willy or Bush II in their press conferences either, considering such events to be staged, choreographed, managed, rehearsed, and generally disingenuous propaganda performances designed to reassure core constituents and befuddle opposition with doubletalk, equivocation, circumlocution, innuendo, blamestorming, and superabundances of scarlet fish.
O.K. Now since I get most of my news from FoxNews and CNN Headline News channels (and their respective websites in case I want to revisit or more closely examine what someone has said without the editorializing of presumptuous talking heads), most of what our Kenyan-in-Chief says into cameras and microphones finds its way into my head anyway. Same thing happened with Dubya, whom I never for a moment considered qualified for or capable of doing the job of PotUS: changed the channel as soon as his face came on.
So when I became aware of the meaningless gibberish spewed by The-One-We've-Been-Waiting-For at his "press conference" last night in response to posed prompts from the still-swooning press corps, I was not surprised. He managed to give talking-point non-answers to distasteful questions, clumsily mixing aquatic fowl with the crimson fish. But that item about his friend "Professor" Gates and the run-in with the Cambridge police Sergeant responding to a citizen's call about a possible B & E is just too goddam much.
First of all, you don't say "I don't know all the facts" and then finish up with "the police acted stupidly." That's pure ignorance at work. What upsets me most is that he purposefully and undeniably played the race card -- no question about it.
As for Gates, well . . . clearly the guy's agenda is right out of the Al Sharpton playbook. His goal was simply to get media attention, very likely to revive flagging sales of whatever whiney-ass drivel about racism he's tried to foist upon the already guilt-ridden American conscience.
Here's the police report. Read it for yourself and determine which card game who was playing:
From MoK.
One day three fishermen were out in a boat in the Gulf of Mexico. They had not caught a thing all day when suddenly, one of the fishermen's poles started jerking. He grabbed it and started reeling in his line and shouting,"I got something! I got something!"
He had caught a nice fish, about ten inches long. The fishermen were about to revel in his accomplishment when the fish shook the hook out of his mouth and transformed into a being, half man and half fish, sporting a crown and holding a trident.
"Who are you?" said the frightened fisherman who had caught him.
"I AM NEPTUNE, GOD OF THE SEA, AND I AM GOING TO PUT A CURSE ON YOU LOWLY MORTALS! BEFORE YOU LEAVE HERE TODAY YOUR BOAT WILL SPRING A DOZEN LEAKS! ...NO, MAKE THAT A DOZEN AND A HALF!"
And with that, he dove back into the waters. As soon as he was gone, the fishermens' boat had sprung so many leaks they were forced to swim to shore.
To this day, they never forgot ...
... Neptune's eighteen-hole Gulf curse.
Let's go to Denmark!
That's the kind of speed control we need here.
Hire this chick to fix all the problems in California.
Vegetable trees?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Got it from Ricky.
From Mark.
I have two questions that should be asked about the Dims plan at every opportunity. Will our elite public "servants" be enrolled in this great plan? If they won't, why not? What's bad good enough for us taxpayers should be bad good enough for Congress and the president.
Fenton Missouri
Still here. This is my last day. I'm heading home tomorrow.
Last night I took an old girlfriend to my favorite St. Louis restaurant, Tony's. That's the nice thing about being a SRF©, I can afford to dine at upscale restaurants. I even wore a suit!
So what did I have? I had the Tony's salad and the Trio of Veals, which consisted of three veal cutlets prepared different ways. Awesome! I think Patty had the Cappellini Primavera along with a Tony's salad. The Tony's salad is huge. The wine was a Chateauneuf du Papa, P. Jeune 2005. Delicious!
Today I caught up with my friend Alixe and spent some time with her. She's my oldest friend in St. Louis. She's an RN and a hairdresser. Today she was wearing her hairdresser hat and I went to see her. Both of her daughters came to have their hair done. Her oldest, Amber, was three years old when I met her. She's now 42. How the heck did that happen? Where did those years go? And I can remember when her other daughter Andrea was born. Amber was a sweet little girl. Andrea was a brat. I used to always say that Andrea was the poster child for Planned Parenthood. Like this.
Andrea is now in her 30's, is married, and has three kids. She's much nicer now. Hey. I was a real brat when I was growing up. If not for raising me, my mom would have prolly lived another ten years. She once told me that they would have sent me to military school if they could have afforded it. This was before Ritalin.
Tonight I'm having dinner with another of my old IBM buddies who worked with me when I was in the Mattel Office Products Division. In fact, he was one of my mentors when I graduated from OP school.
Obviously Gates didn't watch this video.
Fenton Missouri
Yep! I'm still here. I still have some places to go and some people to see in my old stomping grounds.
Last night, I had dinner with my cousin Shirley. She is the last member of my mother's generation on her side of the family. After she goes, I'll be in the oldest generation. Fortunately, since Shirley is a lot like my mother and is in better health, she'll prolly outlive me. She is currently 84, but participates in and teaches line dancing. She does water aerobics. She stays active both mentally and physically and that's one of the keys to good health. She has seven children, lots of grandchildren and three great grandchildren. She recently learned how to use a computer and can now email everyone.
After dinner, we went up to her apartment at the retirement center and she showed me a DVD of her being interviewed by a college student doing a gerontology project. She mentioned my mom and I heard some stories I had never heard about them. This brings up a suggestion. Don't wait until your relatives are old to ask them about family.
I never knew much about my paternal grandparents because my father never mentioned them. He only told me one story about his father, nothing about his mother. They both died long before I was born, so I never met them. I never asked his older half sisters about my grandfather either. My grandfather was married twice and my aunts were from the first marriage. They were also descendants of Daniel Boone through their mother. I didn't find out about that until my sister started doing genealogy research.
We've got gobs of relatives on my father's side of the family because his grandfather, Cyrus Freeman, had nineteen children. My sister found one of our Freeman cousins when she was doing her research and we met her back in 2001 when we were on our Roots 2001 tour, my first road trip in my Z3. Prior to that, when we were children we visited Cousin Peg in Grand Tower, Illinois. It must have been one of the Freeman cousins but Sherry and I do not have a clue which one.
We knew more about my mother's family because someone had done some genealogical research on a branch of the family and shared it with us. Since then, my sister has taken all of my mother's ancestors back to Germany. She's pretty much stuck there. Maybe when more churches in Germany start putting records online, she'll find out more.
Now, after knowing next to nothing about my father's family, she has taken his ancestors back to England. The Fitz Randolphs go all the way back to Charlemagne. No big thing since 60 percent of the people in Western Europe are descended from Charlemagne.
I really wish I would have asked my father and his sisters more about the Wilson side of the family. The things they might have told me I'll never know.
Fenton Missouri.
Huh? Where is Fenton?
Fenton is right outside St. Louis on I-44. At one time, only hoosiers lived in Fenton. In the St. Louis area, that is what we call white trash. My cousin Shirley, whom I'm seeing tonight, lives in Valley Park. That is another town that used to consist of hoosiers. So I have two cousins who live in Indiana with their families, so they're hoosiers as well, altho' it doesn't have a negative meaning (except to Illinoisans who live along the border), and their mother, who lives in Valley Park, and laughingly refers to herself as a hoosier.
Yesterday, I drove to Jefferson City, where I visited with my friend Cliff. It rained all the way and as I drove through the Lake of the Ozarks area I got snarled in traffic. Last year I whizzed through there, but then the weather was nice and everyone was out on the lake. This year it sucked and everyone was driving in their cars.
Cliff and I go way back. We were IBM CE's together in the Mattel Office Products Division. After 4.5 years, I had a friend in the Field Engineering Division who got me over there where I fixed large systems, yannnow, like the water cooled mainframes and their peripherals. Within a year, I was making twice what I made working for the Mattel Office Products Division.
A few years later, Cliff was able to get over to FE as well. We did less work and made more money. As the typewriter business declined, service divisions were consolidated and some of my old co-workers made it up to the top of the line equipment, but most of them only made it up to the midrange or small processors and the associated equipment. Many wound up in point of sale machines and ATM's.
Cliff eventually wound up as a Systems Engineer (a job I always wanted), but, unfortunately, shortly thereafter they started downsizing and he got resource actioned out the door. I guess I should feel lucky that I never became an SE. Also, at this time he went in for back surgery to correct a congenital defect in his spine. Messed him up. He's not as bad off as I am (he can walk without braces and crutches) but he still has problems.
But I digress.
Nope. I managed to create my own job and build myself a little empire. When I came back from my accident, I could no longer teach hardware, so I wound up coordinating systems support for the systems we used to teach our hardware classes on. The people who were supporting us were buttheads and they would always tell us what they wouldn't do (which is what we usually wanted them to do) instead of what they would do. Opportunity knocking. I taught myself MVS and I took over the support they were supposed to provide. We cut ourselves loose from them which really pissed them off as that put them over headcount and they had to lay off two programmers. I pointed out to them that had they been willing to do their job that wouldn't have happened. Pissed 'em off even more.
So I went over to Cliff's yesterday afternoon. Cliff used to be a registered Libertarian. When I got to his house, he was watching MSNBC. WTF? MSNBC? He claims he is still a libertarian. Small L, just like me. Then he dropped another bombshell on me. He voted for Jug Hussein Ears! WTF????? He said that his wife's family (who I guess are Dimocrats) persuaded him to vote for JHE. Now he's feeling buyer's remorse. I wound up staying for dinner. I was too bummed about one of my conservative/libertarian friends voting for JHE to post about it last night.
I'm gonna spend the next three days here seeing family and friends.
This song expresses my feelings on the demise of Uncle Walter.
I love this song!
Heh. Ralph Gizzip sent me this. Hey! It only happened once at Camp Blownstar and it was right after looking at a pretty girl (the girlfriend of the Owners' eldest son). I didn't use the line I normally do when that happens near a pretty girl, "I sure fell for you!" As it is, she did clean the wound and put a bandage on it. She also gave me some Tylenol and an icebag. Like I was feeling anything at the time. How did she think I fell out of the chair?
This is the post where I link to everyone who was there.
First up is SuperGurl who really outdid herself this time. I didn't think she could top last year, but I was wrong, wrong wrong!
Next up are the Criplets. I am so proud of them. They started blogging after last year's Camp Blownstar and they have kept it up. Kerrcarto took care of the beer (even got me some wine). CharlieDelta took care of drinking it. Kerrcarto also cooked a mean brisket. Paul is a fine example of how to party. He slept on the plane to San Antonio and didn't sleep again until 48 hours later. You can't get a hangover if you don't stop drinking.
Holder (a fellow Georgian) flew out a day early to help plan menus. She cooked, cleaned, and took care of us reprobates.
Hammer brought some killer ribs. He also cooked two killer breakfasts. He also made some killer drinks. And furnished some killer booze. With all of this killer shit, it's amazing anyone survived, including Mr. Owner.
H20 introduced me to the term coonass and even brought one of her fellow coonasses, Boudreau. I'm not kidding! This is the third time I've met her and the first time I've heard her use that term.
Leslie bought her some boots and learned how to do the Texas Two Step. She bought a cowboy hat at a previous meet. Now all she needs is a big ol' belt buckle.
Now for the newbies.
Allen had to take Jimbo's place as one of the Elderly Brothers, altho' he is nowhere near as elderly as Jimbo and I.
Leonidas another Georgia blogger kept me from being the oldest person there. His wife has a Swedish blog.
We had five nonbloggers attend. It doesn't matter. If you've attended a Blown-Eyed Blodgement, you become a Blown-Eyed Blodger.
Ric and Georgia were there at the start of the Blown-Eyed Blodgers at our very first meetup in Dahlonaga Georgia way back when. They are founding members. They were on their way back from Mexico and were able to make it.
Sweet Tina, from Oklahoma City was a first timer. I met her last month in Atlanta when she was visiting a friend there.
The very lovely Jackie D. is now an official Blown-Eye.
And of course, the aforementioned coonass, Boudreau, who almost had a really good picture taken of him.
Alas, this may be the last Camp Blownstar. If so, we went out in style.
As y'all know, every Monday over at the Criplets is FOD. So here is my contribution which I stole from Leslie.
The hat and the bottle of Leninade were donated by Bob and Karl Ushanka who won them in a contest over at SondraK's. PeggyU was nice enough to send them to us. I'm sure there are pictures of others with the cap. Just like Flipper, "I still have the hat" and if I remember, it goes to the next blodgemeet. I forgot the Leninade.
I wanted a picture of all of us Blown-Eyes flipping the bird to JHE but it's next to impossible to organize Blown-Eyes. I've only met one person who could (somewhat) successfully accomplish that task.
Whadya know? Here comes another bird pun. This one is from Mike.
A veterinarian was barred from performing surgery because of his poor record.
However, the veterinarian continued to do surgery.
The police busted him just as he was to operate on a sick bird.
But the case was dismissed on a technicality.
It was an ill eagle surgeon seizure!
Twin Creeks Texas
I wound up staying up until 2:00 AM last night. This has been one of the best meetups I have ever been to. There was no drama. There was no underlying hostility amongst the troops. Everyone got along well. We had a great bunch of virgin Blown-Eyes.
I'll do the gratuitous linkage in a later post. Right now, I just want to talk about our hosts. I'm not gonna use their names because I don't want them to suffer for associating with Blown-Eyed Blodgers.
We stayed at an actual ranch somewhere in the Hill Country of Texas. This is the home of the Owners. They also have a home in a city nearby, plus Mr. Owner has a brother who also lives near the ranch so they had other places to stay and didn't have to reside with us reprobates. The Owners rent out the ranch during hunting season. Mrs. Owner also uses it for company functions. They have longhorns. They also have buffalo.
Mr. Owner partied with us every night. He's a year younger than I am. He's funnier than hell. He's sumpin' like a laid back version of Catfish. I would like to get him, Catfish, and V-Man together. V-Man almost came to Camp Blownstar. I'm really sorry that he didn't. He missed a real good time.
Mrs. Owner stopped by last night. That's one of the reasons I stayed up so late. She is a successful businesswoman in her own right and after meeting her, I can understand why. She's smart, funny, personable, upbeat, and very attractive. She also dislikes Jug Hussein Ears, but then she is a successful businesswoman. I can't say enough about the Owners and I'm really glad they let us use one of their homes for our event.
Unfortunately, someone showed Mrs. Owner my site last night. And she prolly thought that I was a nice guy. Busted!
I slept in this morning. Got up around nine. I got on the road around noon. Drove through the Hill Country and didn't get on I-35 until I was north of Austin. About 15 miles south of Waco the traffic started really sucking big time. There were some stretches of stop and go. No accidents, just too much traffic.
So here I am a little north of Dallas. Tomorrow, I'm only going as far as Joplin, Missouri.
From Dick.
Yep. The Floater wants to do the same thing to American health care that he did to Mary Jo Kopechne back in July of 1969.
So another rat bastard commie is dead. Squidley wanted to know what I think of his passing. Nada. But he does have blood on his hands.
On February 27, 1968, Walter Cronkite delivered his verdict on the (ongoing) war in Vietnam. The most trusted man in America pronounced that it was "...more certain than ever that the bloody experience of Vietnam War is to end in a stalemate."Stalemate....
The Tet Offensive, which battle prompted Cronkite's televised towel throwing, was a decisive American victory -- of the more than 80,000 Communist troops who poured south on the Vietnamese New Year, American and allied South Vietnamese soldiers would kill or capture more than 58,000, while suffering a combined, and comparatively light, 9,000 casualties.
Tet was in fact a disaster for the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong. Not only was the invasion repulsed by American forces - who fought valiantly and fiercely in spite of being taken by surprise -- but the uprising in the south upon which the Communists had gambled never happened.
From this, Cronkite conjured his "stalemate." But he was not done with his shameful propaganda, continuing,
"...it is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational way out then will be to negotiate, not as victors, but as an honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy, and did the best they could."Not as victors...thus Cronkite convinced America the war was already over and lost, while our men, our soldiers, our sons and fathers, were fighting and dying and triumphing on the field of battle.
Uncle Walter got his wish. America came home -- Saigon fell. The result?
The Viet Cong consolidated its power over the whole of Vietnam. Like all good Communists, they proceeded to enslave the population, herding hundreds of thousands into concentration camps to be tortured, starved, and killed. The people of South Vietnam, who had trusted America and fought alongside us as allies, put to the sea en masse in whatever rickety craft they could find. Hundreds of thousands drowned in this desperate attempt to escape; by 1980, these "Vietnamese Boat People" were recognized as one of the greatest humanitarian disasters of the modern age, as over 800,000 people fled their country in terror.
But that was a picnic compared to what happened next door in Cambodia, where the North Vietnamese-created Khmer Rouge seized power and implemented a policy of systematic extermination. Out of a population of perhaps 7 million, the Communists slaughtered between 1.5 to 2 million Cambodians. Millions more were forced into slave labor.
Walter Cronkite was called the most trusted man in America. He abused that trust, peddling his own opinion (hope?) - steeped in anti-American ideology - as fact. The Killing Fields were fertilized with this man's lies.
So speak to me not of this newsman's great legacy - it lays buried under a mountain of skulls in South East Asia.
Amen!
Update: V-Man opines.
Well, he certainly outlived all those South Vietnamese he helped herd into the reeducation camps. Not to mention the Cambodians in the Killing Fields.Fuck him. I was a Chet Huntley man myself.
And that, asshole, is the way it is.
Another Update: Rob checks in.
The liberal asswipe turned the American people against the war, and as I said before, even as we were winning it, by lying about what was happening in Viet Nam, and he alone was responsible for us losing the only war we ever lost. That led to the death of 3 miillion Cambodians by Pol Pot’s henchmen.So as you see pieces of liberal shit like Chrissie Matthews, Keith Uberlady, Katie Couric, Charlie Gibson and Brian Williams, thank Cronkite for teaching them all how to be America-hating a-holes.
So Walter, burn in hell, you worthless POS…
This place is really awesome! It is 2000 acres. The owner has been hanging out with us. He is one funny dude.
I fell out of my wheelchair last night. There's a good reason for my not posting Saturday Boobage.
Not gonna write anything. I'm just posting some links li8ke here.
Or this one.
How about this one.
BTW, CD is still asleep.
My petty moment: Hey DanS, we all wish you were here.
Many people have sent me this:
John Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock
(MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 am.
While his coffeepot(MADE IN CHINA)
was perking, he shaved with his
electric razor(MADE IN HONG KONG)
He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans
(MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA)
After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet
(MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his
calculator (MADE IN MEXICO)to see how much he could spend today.
After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN)
to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car
(MADE IN GERMANY) filled it with GAS (from Saudi Arabia)
and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.
At the end of yet another discouraging
and fruitless day checking his Computer (made in MALAYSIA),
John decided to relax for a while.
He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL),
poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE)
and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA),
and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job
in AMERICA
AND NOW HE'S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM A PRESIDENT
MADE IN KENYA.
Another trip to Texas. I'm getting so I know this route pretty well. Once again, I stopped in Lafayette Louisiana, a nice 600 mile trip from GOC Central. I gassed up before checking into the hotel. Some black lady came up to me and asked for 2 to 3 dollars for gas so she could make it to Lake Charles. She was gonna need a lot more than $3 for that. I gave her $2 to get her to go away. She offered to pump my gas for me. Big of her. Hmmmm. Seems to me someone asked me for money to get to Lake Charles last year. Wonder if it was the same lady?
Overall, it was a good drive. Ran into a little rain driving through Louisiana.
Tomorrow, I'll be at Camp Blownstar. Looking forward to it.
I'm just about done packing. Gonna leave for Camp Blownstar around 8:00 AM tomorrow.
I hate packing!
So my sister calls me and asked me if I'm watching the All Star game. Nope. I'm packing. Anyway, I really lost interest in baseball back when the greedy players and the greedy owners killed the goose that laid the golden egg and cancelled the World Series. I follow the Cardinals and watch a Braves game now and then, but I no longer care like I used to. I haven't watched an All Star game since before the strike. I doubt if I ever will again. The only time I'll watch the World Series or a playoff game is if the Cardinals or the Braves are in it.
Anyway, she told me that Joe Buck was giving Jug Hussein Ears a blowjob in the broadcast booth. Wow! I'm surprised that they're even playing a game. Why don't they let the bastard give a speech?
This is just one more good reason not to watch the game.
I'm taking my laptop so there will be some blogging on the road.
Hey Jug Hussein Ears was booed!
Geez! I didn't know that the Russians celebrated FOD.
And H20 has her FOD post.
Paul sent me this.
Paris - Faced with a fall in tourist numbers due to the financial crisis and a reputation for unfriendliness, the Paris tourist board has made a simple request to the city's residents: smile.
Good luck with that.
Visitors to Paris, the world's most visited city, have fallen 17 percent since January compared with the same period in 2008, official figures show.
Boo freaking hoo! Too freaking bad!
To counter the slump and boost revenues, the tourist board has set up stands manned by teams of "smile ambassadors" to welcome holiday makers at the city's most popular spots.
They're paying people to smile? BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Wonder if they're in a union? If you don't pay us more, we'll quit smiling.
As if to heed its call, hundreds of roller-skaters formed a giant smile in Place Vendome in the city center on Sunday."We have to work on striking
"stiking"? Was that a Freudian slip?
and simple images.
Gotta keep it simple for the French.
There's nothing as telling as a smile," said Paul Roll, who heads the tourist board.
Getting the Parisians to smile at tourists. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
In May, a questionnaire carried out by travel site TripAdvisor found Paris to be the most over-rated city in Europe, citing its high prices and unpleasant residents.
"unpleasant residents"? Captain Renault: I'm shocked, shocked...
Daniel Fasquelle, founder of a tourism association, said that French from all walks of life needed to play their part."If we want tourism, which has generated more than 2 million jobs, to remain a major economic sector, everyone has to get behind it — professionals, elected representatives and French people," he said.
Lemme know how that works out. I remember back in the 70's when we had a recession and Art Buchwald wrote a column about how tourism was so bad that they had a program like this to try and get Americans to come back to France.
Typical French. They're always there when they need us.
It's Monday and I'm lazy so here's another rant from Ron.
Alfred Charles Sharpton, Jr., born 3 October 1954 in Brooklyn, and best known as a black supremacist who either creates incidents or blows things out of proportion for the sole purpose of getting his name in the news while promoting the concept of reparations to American blacks for slavery and excuses for sitting on their lazy asses and drawing welfare.Also known as "Al Charlatan" or "The Reverend Soundbite," Sharpton is a rabble-rousing, ambulance-chasing, shit-stirring loudmouth who ostensibly protests racial injustice and police brutality, but like his mentor, Jesse Jackson, he is entirely uninterested in any minority group other than those of African ancestry. Jews, Asians, Latinos, and light-skinned Arabs can go suck canal water as far as he's concerned.
As a child, Sharpton managed to acquire the title of "minister" and was known as the "boy wonder" preacher of the Washington Temple Church of Let's Get Whitey! Actually nothing more than a pest and wannabe entertainer, he founded the National Delinquent Youth Movement right out of high school, worked as a tour manager for wife-beater and alcoholic James Brown, and toured with screechers and garblers who called themselves singers to rip off their gullible black audiences. In the 70s and 80s, he sleazed with shyster promoter Don King to cheat several boxers out of their money before it even got into their hands.
Hungry for attention as a spokesman for his black brethren against the oppressive white people, most of whom had no idea what the hell he was talking about, he became front man for Tawana Brawley, an African-American teenager who accused a group of white men of rape -- a charge later demonstrated to be a complete hoax. In 2004, he hit perhaps the apex of his arrogance and nominated himself as a candidate for PotUS.
He, along with fellow RWPP's Alton Maddox and C. Vernon Mason were sued for defamation of character by Steven Pagones, one of the people unjustly accused in the Tawana Brawley fraud. Pagones won his law suit but Sharpton never paid the damages saying he didn't have any money, yet somehow his children go to private schools and he travels first class everywhere he goes. ... GOC
For reasons known only to himself, Al Charlatan considers himself an intelligent, informed, articulate activist who knows how to capture media attention and speak for disenfranchised, as long as they are black and stupid. In that regard, he has never met a press conference or a video camera he didn't like.
The self-appointed messiah for the downtrodden blacks is actually nothing more than a faux minister without a parish, an alligator mouth with a hummingbird ass, and a repertoire of inflammatory terms, accusations, and demands. He works tirelessly to fan the flames of black discontent and anger with white culture.
Reverend Soundbite has been proven wrong, vilified, jailed, indicted for tax evasion, beaten up, and even stabbed for his outrageous accusations and inciteful behavior. However, his skin seems to have teflon qualities, because nothing seems to stick to him, especially the truth. In most cases, he manages to turn accusations against him and attacks on his imaginary accusations against others into proof that the white media and conservative criminal justice system are out to get him.
Aligning himself with a freakish boy who was born into a large family of nearly pure African blacks but later tried to turn himself into a white woman seems almost out of character for an activist who wants to be seen as champion of the oppressed American black . . . until you think about it, that is. Sharpton will seize upon any opportunity to get his face in the news. It's a sickness with him, a compulsion, making him a serial annoyer with a loud, scratchy voice and a warped, devious agenda.
Al Sharpton has damaged race relations between whites and blacks in America for decades, and he'll continue to do it until he accidentally falls into the La Brea tar pits or is sucked through the intake of a 767 engine undergoing full thrust testing. Rest assured that he will manage to piss off hundreds of black people at the little freak's memorial service and continue to pop burrs under the saddle of racial harmony while popping Franklins into his pockets for the effort.
The man is a fraud, a danger, a cheat, a racist, a flim-flammer, and a counterproductive voice for American blacks. Like our Precedent President, the only thing he has ever run has been his mouth, and his greatest gift to any group of people is to the Asian and Latino communities through his refusal to consider them worthy of his time.
Our nation would be much better off if both ends of his alimentary canal were to grow permanently shut.
C'mon Ron. Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel.
Y'all know Rob Cooper from the comments on this blog. Well now he has his own blog. He's one of the contributors here.
He posts as Bob in Breckenridge.
From Paul.
The Indian With One Testicle
There once was an Indian who had only one testicle
and whose given name was 'Onestone'. He hated that
name and asked everyone not to call him Onestone.
After years and years of torment, Onestone finally
cracked and said,' If anyone calls me Onestone
again I will kill them!'
The word got around and nobody called
him that any more..
Then one day a young woman named Blue Bird
forgot and said, 'Good morning, Onestone.' He
jumped up, grabbed her and took her deep into
the forest where he made love to her all day and
all night. He made love to her all the next day,
until Blue Bird died from exhaustion.
The word got around that Onestone meant what
he promised he would do.
Years went by and no
one dared call him by his given name until A woman
named Yellow Bird returned to the village after being
away. Yellow Bird, who was Blue Bird's cousin,
was overjoyed when she saw Onestone.
She hugged him and said, 'Good to see you, Onestone.'
Onestone grabbed her, took her deep into the forest,
then he made love to her all day, made love to her all night,
made love to her all the next day, made love to her all the next night, but Yellow Bird wouldn't die!
Think about it !!!
everyone knows....
You can't kill Two Birds with OneStone !!!
Dammit! I meant to post this last weekend. Rhonda sent me this.
Few people realize that Charo is a very talented guitarist. Here's proof.
Lots of stuff in the mail today.
Didja see what Mrs. Jug Hussein Ears, the fashion icon, the black Jackie, wore to her audience with the pope?
Jesus H. Christ! It looks like she's going to a freaking funeral! Maybe she was. Maybe this symbolizes all those dead babies that her hubby has been in favor of aborting. Then, JHE had the unmitigated gall to tell the pope that he wants to reduce the number of abortions in America. This from the most pro-abortion president this country has ever had. This guy is on his way to making BJ Clinton look honest.
Toejam sent me an open letter to David Letterman.
Attention: Dear David Letterman, Why not tell some Obama jokes?
There are reports and photographs of first daughter Malia Obama in Italy, where her father attended the G8 Summit, sporting not one but two different versions of the Peace symbol as her traveling attire”
Since she looks to be around the same age as Sarah Palin’s daughter I would think it only fair to start making jokes about her, right?
Do you hear that Michelle Obama and her daughter Malia went to a soccer match in Rome? Yea, when mom wasn’t looking Malia got knocked up by some Italian football player.
What kind’ a name is Malia anyways, sounds like some spice used in Italian cooking.
Offended yet you Liberal Democrats?
Good, now you may understand a little about how it feels to be Sarah Palin.
From Paul.
A surgeon went to check on his blonde patient after an operation.
She was awake, so he examined her. "You'll be fine," he said.
She asked, "How long will it be before I am able to have a normal sex life again doctor?"
The surgeon seemed to pause, which alarmed the girl.
"What's the matter Doctor? I will be all right, won't I?"
He replied, "Yes, you'll be fine. It's just that no one has ever asked me that after having their tonsils out."
This joke would prolly work if the blonde/blond was a member of the LSM and asked how much longer before she/he could start interviewing Jug Hussein Ears again.
I'm gonna give it to that shining light of the House of Representatives, Sheila Jackson-Lee, for trying to introduce a resolution honoring the dead pedophile, Michael Jackson. Surprisingly, Nancy Pelosi quashed it. This will prolly be the only time I agree with Nancy Pelosi.
Here's an interesting story about Jackson-Lee. She was at NASA in Houston watching a live feed of one of the Mars Rovers and she asked if they were anywhere near the spot where the astronauts planted the American flag. Amazing! People vote for her which doesn't say too much for her constituents.
Anyway,Congresscritter Jackson-Lee, here's your award.
He got really pissed when he found out Michael Jackson died.
Tom sent me link to the site where I stole it from.
I saw the future today. I went to the Post Office. Want to see the future of health care? Go to the Post Office.
When I got there only one person was working. About ten minutes later another person opened up. Unfortunately there is a rule at the Post Office. The number of stupid people is always greater than or equal to the number of postal workers. There were two idiots who had trouble with the change of address forms. They couldn't seem to understand that old address was their old address and new address was their new address.
Fortunately, I was in my wheelchair so I had sumpin' to sit on. Also, since I'm retired I have time on my hands. Some people were really getting steamed. I happened to say, "Better get used to it. This is the future of gummint run health care."
The person behind me didn't agree. Must of been a Dimocrat. Not too many of them in Beautiful Dunwoody.
i haven't done any French bashing lately so I'm way overdue with this. Patrick posted this link in the comments of a previous post.
French tourists seen as world's worst: Survey
Dammit! When did that happen? I thought we Americans were the worst tourists. I guess now we have to settle for second place.
PARIS (Reuters Life!) – French tourists are the worst in the world, coming across as bad at foreign languages, tight-fisted and arrogant, according to a survey of 4,500 hotel owners across the world.
Arrogant? The French arrogant? I'm shocked!
They finish in last place in the survey carried out for internet travel agency Expedia by polling company TNS Infratest, which said French holidaymakers don't speak local languages and are seen as impolite.
Impolite? The French are impolite? I'm shocked!
"It's mainly the fact that they speak little or no English when they're abroad, and they don't speak much of the local language," Expedia Marketing Director Timothee de Roux told radio station France Info.
They're just pissed that English has become the international language. They long for the days of 100 years ago when it was French. Sorry Froggies. No one wants to speak French anymore.
The French don't go abroad very much. We're lucky enough to have a country which is magnificent in terms of its landscape and culture," he said, adding that 90 per cent of French people did their traveling at home.
Where they can be rude to other French people.
"So when they're on holiday they can be a bit stressed, they're not used to things, and this can lead them to be demanding in a way which could be seen as a certain arrogance."
Stressed? After leaving their 32 hour a week job?
French tourists are also accused of generally spending less than other nationalities when abroad.
Tightwads!
De Roux said the French, not accustomed to leaving large tips at home where a service charge is automatically levied on restaurant bills, can seem "tight-fisted" compared with other nationalities.
They're prolly not used to the better service they get outside of France.
The Japanese ranked top of the Best Tourist survey, with the British and the Germans judged the best of the Europeans.
And the Americans? The article doesn't say.
But French tourists received some consolation for their poor performance, finishing third after the Italians and British for dress sense while on holiday.
The Brits dress better than the French. BVWAHAHAHAHAHA! They prolly smell better as well. Brits actually bathe.
It's like the gang that can't shoot straight. Can you imagine the howls of laughter in the LSM if the Bush White House had misspelled his name?
Someone might want to look into whether an impostor took President Obama's place during his trip to Russia.In a release touting an agreement between Obama and President Dmitry Medvedev over how to craft a follow-up to the START arms reduction treaty, the White House claimed the document had been signed by one "Barak Obama."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
V'man has a new hobby. It's creating Palinskys.
They aren't impressed by Jug Hussein Ears.
MOSCOW — Let other capitals go all weak-kneed when President Obama visits. Moscow has greeted Mr. Obama, who on Tuesday night concluded a two-day Russian-American summit meeting, as if he were just another dignitary passing through.
Prolly 'cause they have had their fill of rat bastard commies.
Crowds did not clamor for a glimpse of him. Headlines offered only glancing or flippant notice of his activities. Television programming was uninterrupted; devotees of the Russian Judge Judy had nothing to fear. Even many students and alumni of the Western-oriented business school where Mr. Obama gave the graduation address on Tuesday seemed merely respectful, but hardly enthralled.
Whassa matter with them Rooskis anyway? Don't they realize that JHE is the Obamessiah? He heals the sick. He lowers the oceans. He cleans the air.
“We don’t really understand why Obama is such a star,” said Kirill Zagorodnov, 25, one of the graduates.
That's because you are not black, a white guilt liberal, an American Idol fan, or a member of the fellating American LSM.
“It’s a question of trust, how he behaves, how he positions himself, that typical charisma, which in Russia is often parodied. Russians really are not accustomed to it. It is like he is trying to manipulate the public.”
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winnah!
Others suggested that after decades of social turmoil, Russians were simply exhausted with politics, and had been so often disappointed by Western leaders that they were not inclined to get excited by the latest one. Asked by one Moscow newspaper what they expected to come out of Mr. Obama’s visit, most respondents had the same answer: traffic jams.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Some Obama aides said they were struck by the low-key reception here, especially when compared with the outpouring on some of his other foreign trips. Even Michelle Obama, who typically enjoys admiring coverage in the local news media when she travels, has not had her every move chronicled here.
What no gushing over how glamorous she is? The cretins!
In the background is the question of race, which Russians view through a complicated prism. For decades, Soviet propaganda hammered home the idea that the United States was an irredeemably racist country, as opposed to the Communist bloc nations. But Russia in recent years has been plagued by racist violence against people from the Caucasus region and Central Asia, as well as other immigrants.
That must be the answer. The Rooskis are racists! Or maybe they think the Kenyan Kommie is a Moo-slime.
Yet many young Russians, like David Zokhrabian, 21, who recently received a graduate degree in international relations from Moscow State University, said Mr. Obama’s race cut both ways. “Students in Moscow, they are pretty positive about this,” he said. “It’s cool, modern, progressive. All the students know American history, they know about segregation, so it shows us about democracy, how it can be.”
Yep and JHE is our very first affirmative action president. Ooops! I mean Diversity (All Hail Diversity!) president. Of course, if I present it that way, he's our second diversity president since we've already had a cripple. Still to come, our first gay president and our first Hispanic president.
But the same cannot be said for average Russians, he said, adding: “It looks weird to them. They just think that America has gone crazy.”
Well 53% of the voters were crazy last November but more and more of them are coming to their senses as they realize what a disaster this idiot is.
Many here noted that Russia went through an enthusiastic phase with President Bill Clinton in the 1990s, when Russians were reaching out to Americans. Mr. Clinton conducted a town hall meeting in Moscow that was broadcast across Russia (and featured a woman in the audience jumping up and hugging Mr. Clinton on camera).
That explains it. They had already met the "first black president"?
Tom Malinowski, who was a speechwriter for Mr. Clinton, said Russian audiences were always the toughest to connect with.“It is a jaded political culture that has had a very hard experience with a system that professed universal idealism while delivering unbearable suffering,” said Mr. Malinowski, now Washington advocacy director for Human Rights Watch. “Some degree of cynicism about high-minded ideals is a natural outcome of that.”
See. They have had their fill of rat bastard commies. I only hope that in 2012 the American electorate will have had their fill as well.
A bunch of us have had our fill since JHE's cornonation inauguration.
A man fell into a vat of chocolate.
A 22-year-old factory worker died Wednesday after he fell into a vat of boiling chocolate at a manufacturing plant in New Jersey, police said.The unidentified man, who worked at the Camden facility, had been in the melting pot for about 10 minutes by the time rescue crews arrived, MyFOXPhilly.com reported.
I know I shouldn't laugh about this, but all I could think about after Dick sent me this article was this.
Jesus H. Christ! Pope Albert I of the Church of AGW is getting even more batshit crazy! Now he's equating the fight against the mythical AGW to fighting the Nazis.
Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is comparing his struggle to reverse global climate change to the fight against the Nazis during World War II.Despite likening his crusade to that of a war that killed an estimated 50 million people worldwide, the one-time presidential candidate called on the global community to approach the global warming crisis with 'a sense of joy', according to the Daily Mail of London.
Of course he has 'a sense of joy'. He's making millions off this global warming scam. The only thing his fight against mythical AGW has in common with WWII is Pope Albert and his acolytes are using the tactics of Goebbels. Tell a big lie often enough and you can get people to believe it. And it's working.
From Paul.
Yeah. Because the first one worked so well, just like the one Chimpy McHalliburton Bushitler and the Dims gave us last year. Watch for unemployment to top 10% within the next few months. And if the Senate passes its version of Waxman-Markey we will really be totally screwed!
Hope. Change. Long recession.
So much for hope and change. Jug Hussein Ears' approval rating is dropping like a rock.
This is the index of strongly approve minus strongly disapprove. Now we have people who voted for him having buyers' remorse.
One Big Assed Mistake America.
Jug Hussein Ears finally released his birth certificate.
See? He's a citizen. Now that's settled.
Thanks to Dr. Ray.

Michelle Obama bringing glamour to MoscowMOSCOW — Michelle Obama brings her superstar glamour to Moscow this weekend as she accompanies her husband on his summit with the Russian president.
Superstar glamour? What planet is this person living on?
But the American first lady, who has wowed publics in the U.S. and Europe with her easy elegance and charm, will perhaps face a bigger challenge in winning over a Russian public that has scant respect for women who grab the limelight from their powerful husbands.
"Wowed publics"? WTF? "easy elegance and charm"? WTF again? Geez, she was totally overshadowed by Sarkozy's wife. She botched her meeting with Queen Elizabeth. But wait! There's more.
On a recent trip to Paris, she impressed the fashion-conscious French with her chic designer outfits standing side-by-side with the country’s former supermodel First Lady Carla Bruni.
Huh! Carla Bruni made her look like crap!
In Britain, she famously breached palace protocol by putting her arm around Queen Elizabeth II.
Which actually pissed the Brits off. The author is just making shit up here. But wait! There's still more!
Michelle Obama’s fashion sense attracts comparisons with Jacqueline Kennedy, and there is a Web site entirely dedicated to what she wears.
Yep! She's the black Jackie (Blackie?) and we are living in the black Camelot. As for her fashion sense? Who the heck is dressing her in those hideous outfits? But wait! There's even more!
But when questioned about the U.S. first lady, Doletskaya becomes lively. She describes Michelle’s style as “very fresh,” as someone who mixes boldly “but in a very refined way.”
Gag me with a spoon! This article also mentioned Svetlana Medvedeva, the wife of the prime minister of Russia. And there were some comparisons made. And the last paragraph states:
“It’s not easy” to be a first lady, said Oksana Fyodorova, Miss Universe 2002. “But I think she (Svetlana) will succeed. And then we’ll see who is better — Michelle or our Svetlana.”
I wonder if Svetlana for the first time in her life is proud of her country?
Here are two good ones that Dick sent me.
I read some real bad news in this morning's Atlanta Urinal and Constipation.
Cynthia McKinney’s mom said she’s learned that her daughter is on the way home.Leola McKinney said a friend who contacted the U.S. Embassy in Israel reported that the former congresswoman was released from Israeli custody and taken to Ben Gurion International Airport.
Just damn! I was hoping the Israelis would keep her.
Aren't y'all getting little sick of all these apologies? Yannow, how many state legislatures are apologizing for slavery. Or how Jug Hussein Ears and other Dimocrats, like Bill Clinton and Jimmah Carter, have run around the world apologizing for all the eee-vil the United States has done in the world. Now we have a bill intoduced in the California legislature apologizing to the Chinese. who were mistreated over 150 years ago!
It's not a pretty history.But, two California legislators say, it's time to admit it and apologize for how Chinese immigrants were treated during and after the Gold Rush.
So California has a budget deficit of over $25 billion and is issuing IOU's and we have some booger eatin' moh-rons demanding that California apologize to the Chinese immigrants for mistreating them over 150 years ago. I have three questions (and they're the same questions I ask about slavery).
1. Is any Chinese person still alive who was mistreated over 150 years ago?
2. Is any person still alive who perpetuated this mistreatment?
3. Are the descendants of the people who were mistreated better off than if they had stayed in their old country?
Of course, to politically correct booger eatin' moh-rons, none of these questions matter, so I have a solution. Let's just pass a resolution in Congress and all the state legislatures stating that we apologize to everyone for everything and put all of this apology bullshit behind us. It is getting very tiresome.
SuperGurl is back and has this update. Alas, this may be the last Camp Blownstar unless she passes the organizational baton to someone else next year. This is her 4th year of setting up this meet and she has managed to make each year better than the previous one. No way she will be able to top this year. So if you have decided to skip this year and are planning on coming next year, don't. This just may be the last Blownstar Blodgemeet.
From Richard.
A man walks into a bar and orders a beer. While he's waiting, he notices two pieces of meat hanging from the ceiling. The bartender returns, sees the man looking at the meat and asks, "Would you like to join our competition?"
The man asks, "What kind of competition?"
"Well," replies the bartender, "If you can get those pieces of meat off the ceiling, your drink is free. But, if you fail, you have to buy the whole bar a drink."
The man thinks about it for a minute and declines the offer, "No, thanks.
The steaks are just too high."
For 4th of July weekend let's do Van Halen and the Blue Angels. I've posted it before and I'll prolly post it again. The only thing better would be watching Moo-slimes get blown up over there in the various Shitholistans.
The Criplets posted it first.
Prolly not far from the truth.
From Dick.
What could be more appropriate for the Saturday Guitar on the 4th of July than Chet Atkins playing The Stars and Stripes Forever?
Yannow, I think liberals must really hate the 4th of July. I mean that's when Americans really feel great about being Americans and just how great this country is and, as you know, liberals think that all the problems in the world are caused by America.
This is when we Americans are proud of our military and we all know how much liberals hate the military which in their minds consists of a bunch of baby killers.
There are gonna be a lot of Tea Parties today, and we all know how liberals feel about the Tea Parties. To them it's unpatriotic to want less taxes, less spending, and a smaller gummint.
4th of July is a really big holiday in the American heartland which liberals believe is populated by a bunch of dumb rubes. Some of it is. Like those who vote for rat bastard commies.
Imagine how the Founding Fathers of this country, those people who sacrificed everything to fight England because of excessive taxation would feel if they were to come back today and see the taxation we have to deal with and see how the gummint has grown?
We fought a war against excessive taxation and now we elect rat bastard commies who tax us at a higher rate than King George would even dream of.
Happy Birthday America! I wish us many more, but with the politicians we elect, who ignore the Constitution, who grow gummint, and who tax us to death, I see the Great American Experiment coming to an end. I'm glad I was alive to see us at the height of our greatness. I hope I die before I witness our great fall which has just begun.
My blodgesons, the Criplets are one year old. They celebrated their first birthday on Thursday. They decided to start blodging last year when they met at Camp Blownstar. I am so proud of them. Happy birthday Criplets!
A woman and her blonde friend are walking down the street together. The woman stops walking and shields her eyes with her hand to get a better look at something.
She says to her friend, "I just saw my husband leave that florist with a big bouquet of roses. I know they're for me, because he does this every few months. Damn. Now I'll have to keep my legs in the air for a week."
Her friend asks, "Why don't you just buy a vase?"
From Jim in honor of the 4th of July. BTW, Jim, it's not too late to come to Camp Blownstar.
Even Colin Powell is starting to have buyer's remorse.
Colin Powell, one of President Obama's most prominent Republican supporters, expressed concern Friday that the president's ambitious blitz of costly initiatives may be enlarging the size of government and the federal debt too much."I'm concerned at the number of programs that are being presented, the bills associated with these programs and the additional government that will be needed to execute them," Mr. Powell said in an excerpt of an interview with CNN's John King, released by the network Friday morning.
Jesus H. Christ, General Powell, weren't you paying attention during the campaign? He's only doing what he said he would do. This is "hope and change". Tax and spend. That's what Dimocrats do. They just can't help themselves. When it comes to spending they make big spending Republicans look like pikers.
Mr. Powell, a retired U.S. army general who rose to political prominence after a long and accomplished military career, said that health care reform and many of Mr. Obama's other initiatives are "important" to Americans.But, he said, "one of the cautions that has to be given to the president -- and I've talked to some of his people about this -- is that you can't have so many things on the table that you can't absorb it all."
You don't understand, General. He has to get all this shit rammed through before the American people awaken to find the national debt quadrupled and turn Congress over to the Republicans.
"And we can't pay for it all," said Mr. Powell, who was the first African-American to serve as secretary of state, under former President George W. Bush.
Sure we can. We'll sell more debt to China and fire up the printing presses to monetize the debt (AKA inflation).
Mr. Powell expressed alarm at "budgets that are running into the multi-trillions of dollars" and "a huge, huge national debt that, if we don't pay for in our lifetime, our kids and grandkids and great-grandchildren will have to pay for it.""So, I think the president, as he moves forward with his initiatives, has to start really taking a very, very hard look at what the cost of all this is. And, how much additional bureaucracy [will] be needed to make all of this happen?" Mr. Powell said.
Doesn't matter. He "won".
The surprising thing is these quotes came from an interview that will be aired on CNN. CNN? WTF? Oh. That's OK. No one will hear these comments. No one watches CNN anymore. Even MSNBC is beating them in the ratings. Whereas Fox beats both of them combined.

This is not news to me. I knew this was what "change" meant during the election. Sadly, many Americans wanted us to have the first black president and they voted for this idiot. They are starting to have buyers remorse and his approval numbers are dropping. The black Jimmah Carter will manage the seemingly impossible: making Jimmah look good by comparison.
I don't know who said it but it's true. Only in America can a poor black boy grow up and become a rich white woman. Holy crap! He's even whiter than Speaker Blinky.

The best part of this exchange is when Helen Thomas, the crazy old aunt of the White House press corp, jumps in. She says that she has never seen this level of control in the White House before. Even under Nixon. I guess she should know since she's been doing this for about 100 years.
Jane sent me this.
Yeah. Gibbs is a pussy.
How 'bout that stimulus plan? It's really working out great isn't it? Unemployment just hit 9.5%. It's a 26 year high.
WASHINGTON – Employers cut a larger-than-expected 467,000 jobs in June and the unemployment rate climbed to a 26-year high of 9.5 percent. Workers also saw weekly wages fall, suggesting Americans will have little appetite to spend and the economy's road to recovery will be bumpy.
Wow! It's a good thing Jug Hussein Ears is saving all of them jobs otherwise we'd be over 10% unemployment.
President Barack Obama, in an interview with The Associated Press, said he is "deeply concerned" about unemployment and conceded that too many families are worried about "whether they will be next" to suffer an economic blow. He also expressed disappointment over the weak employment figures, acknowledging that "what we are still seeing is too many jobs lost."
And remember, he said that Congress needed to pass the porkulus bill or unemployment would go over 8%. They passed it. Unemployment is at 9.5%. I'm beginning to think we'd be better off if his TelePrompTer was running the country.
More bad news.
As we near the end of June, which is supposed to be one of the four biggest months for federal tax collections (January, April, and September are the others), it is clear that the serious receipts shortfalls are not only continuing, but have caused the March 20 projections of the administration and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to be outdated.
June and the other months have larger tax revenues because that is when SRF©s like me have to pay our estimated taxes. I'm paying less estimated taxes this year as are many other people. So guess what that is gonna do to JHE and the Dimocrat's projected $1.75 trillion dollar deficit? Betcha it's gonna wind up topping $2 trillion.
JHE and the Dimocrats now own this economy. They have controlled Congress since 2007. They now have control of the White House.
How's that "Hope and Change" working out for y'all? Anyone missing Bush and the Republicans yet? In another year the Carter administration will start looking good.
One Bad Assed Mistake America
They actually believe these gun free zones work. Yannow people like "Reasonably happy non-mentaly challenged 40ish Democrat" Dude! It's "mentally". Your computer comes with a spell checker. Use it. I mean, your thought processes indicate that you are actually mentally challenged. Don't reinforce our belief by misspelling words. And the dude posted a link about some guy shooting up a place. Ban guns! Ban guns! Doctors kill more people per capita than guns. Should we ban doctors? Cars kill more people per capita than guns. Should we ban cars?
Anyway, all these signs do is tell the bad dudes that this is a target rich environment.
Just heard from SuperGurl. We gots us some more Georgians coming. She also told me that she wants Jimbo to come and tell him there are hotels nearby. Without Jimbo, the Elderly Brothers will be a solo act. She also wants DanS to come.
I'll be hitting the road in two weeks.
My readers just love to send me articles whenever my ex-Conresscritter, Cynthia McCommie does sumpin' stupid or newsworthy. The Atlanta Urinal and Constipation had a story about her this morning.
Israeli naval forces blockading Gaza have intercepted a ship whose passengers include former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney.
It's a shame they didn't blow it out of the water.
Israeli forces on Tuesday intercepted the Greek-registered Arion in the Mediterranean Sea 23 miles off the Gaza coast, the BBC reported. The Arion was carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, according to the U.S.-based Free Gaza Movement.
OK. All together now, let's shed a tear for all those poor people in Gaza and condemn all of those eee-vil Joooos.
Yannow, I could actully muster up some sympathy for the Paleostinians in Gaza if they weren't a bunch of barbarian savages. Let's see, Israel left Gaza. They left some state of the art greenhouses that the Paleostinians could use for agriculture. What did the barbarian savages do? They destroyed them.
What else did these booger eatin' moh-rons do? They started firing rockets at Israel from the land that Israel vacated.
The western world has thrown billions down this cesspool known as Palestine and what have these idiots done with the money? Improved the lot of their people? No. Either the leaders, like the corrupt Arafat, have siphoned off the money to enrich themselves or they have used it to buy weapons to use against Israel.
Let 'em starve. Let 'em live in squalor. Let 'em die. They've had numerous opportunities for peace, but they don't want peace. They want the destruction of Israel as does McCommie (and prolly Jug Hussein Ears). They've done it to themselves.
As Abba Eban once said, "The Palestinians have never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity."
Gold Meir: "There will be no peace until the Palestinians love their children more than they hate the Jews."
Once again, just like with Michael Jackson, my sympathy meter is pegged on zero.
Many of my readers sent me this. It's sumpin' for all the liberals who have been lambasting Chimpy McHalliburton Bushitler during the past eight years.
What If George W. Bush had ...made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro” in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the Fifth of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?
If George W. Bush had misspelled the word advice would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potato as “proof” of what a dunce he is?
If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on “Earth Day”, would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?
If George W. Bush’s administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually “get” what happened on 9-11?
If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how he is inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?
If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?
So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 10 weeks -- so you'll have three years and nine-and-a-half months to come up with an answer.
