Speaking of dopes, Dan Rather lost his lawsuit against CBS.
NEW YORK (Reuters) – A New York state appeals court on Tuesday dismissed former TV newsman Dan Rather's lawsuit against CBS Corp in which Rather claimed he was made a scapegoat in a scandal over a 2004 report on then-President George W. Bush's military record.The ruling on Tuesday by a panel of judges of the New York State Supreme Court Appellate Division said Rather's $70 million complaint should be dismissed in its entirety and that a lower court erred in denying CBS's motion to throw out the lawsuit.
Oh Danny boy the pipes the pipes are calling
Rather says CBS breached his contract by not giving him enough on-air assignments after he was removed as anchor of the "CBS Evening News" in March 2005.
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The appeals court ruled he failed to sufficiently support his claim that he lost business opportunities due to CBS's failure to release him to seek other employment.
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
Rather sued CBS, parent of the CBS television network, Viacom and others in September 2007, claiming he had been made a scapegoat to "pacify the White House." CBS was part of Viacom until the companies split in 2006.
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
Too bad Danny Boy. After your long career you will be remembered most for your trying to use fake memos to affect a presidential election. What makes it even worse is that you still believe those memos are real.
And CBS? You went from Edward R. Murrow to Walter Cronkite to Dan Blather to Perky Katie Couric. You may as well shut down your news organization.
Chuck sent me this.
Easy. Mussolini actually accomplished sumpin'. He was semi-competent. Jug Hussein Ears is totally incompetent.
Remember how Jug Hussein Ears said he was gonna change the way the world felt about us? What he didn't say was that he was gonna piss off our friends, like the UK, and show our foes, like Iran and North Korea, that we were a bunch of wimps. Here's sumpin' from across the Pond.
Barack Obama’s chances of re-election in three and a half years’ time may be evaporating at unprecedented speed, but his presidential ambitions could still be realised in another direction. He would be a shoo-in to win the next Russian presidential election, so high is his popularity now running in the land of the bear and the knout. Obama has done more to restore Russia’s hegemonial potential in Eastern and Central Europe than even Vladimir Putin.
Well Thunder Rodent Thighs did give the Russian foreign minister that reset button that said "charge" in Russian. Didn't TRT have anyone in the State Department who could speak Russian? Or maybe that "charge" meant that Russia could charge on forward and reestablish its control over its former satellite states.
His latest achievement has been to restore the former satellite states to dependency on Moscow, by wimping out of the missile defence shield plan. This follows on his surrender last July when he voluntarily sacrificed around a third of America’s nuclear capability for no perceptible benefit beyond a grim smile from Putin. If there is one thing that fans the fires of aggression it is appeasement.
This was a surprise? That's what Dimocrats do, especially rat bastard commies like JHE. They stab allies in the back and appease enemies.
Despite propaganda to the contrary, 58 per cent of Poles were in favour of the missile shield. But small nations must assess the political will of larger powers. Thanks to President Pantywaist’s supine policies, the former satellite states can see that they are fast returning to their former status. The American umbrella cannot be relied upon on a rainy day. They have been here before. Poles remember how a leftist US president sold them out to Russia at Tehran and Yalta. The former Czechoslovakia was betrayed twice: in 1938 and 1945.
Dear Eastern Europe: If a Dimocrat is president you're screwed.
If the word is out that America is in retreat, it will soon find it has no friends. The satellites will pragmatically accept their restored subordination, without openly acknowledging it, and co-operate with their dangerous neighbour, ushering in a new generation of Finlandisation.
You think JHE cares? He's busy bowing to his real master, the king of Saudia Arabia.
Got the poster from Tom.
Bringing unstable states like Georgia into Nato would be a liability, not a defence. The crazy notion of a US-Nato-Russian combined defence policy has all the staying power of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact. Ronald Reagan, assisted by Margaret Thatcher, implemented the sensible principle that Russia, from the time of Peter the Great, respects only strength and steely political will. A pushover in the Oval Office is the best news Russian expansionists have heard since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The only people JHE can't be pushed around by are Republicans and some of our allies.
Barack Obama is selling out America and, by extension, the entire West. This is a catastrophe for America and the wider world.
One Big Assed Mistake America.
Who dat? Who couldn't stay away? Why Kim and Connie du Toit. They're back and they have their own radio show.
Welcome back Kim and Connie!
Actually, we never left. Remember back during the 90's when Thunder Rodent Thighs talked about the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy out to get her husband? Well now it's good ol' BJ who's talking about the VRWC.
WASHINGTON - Bill Clinton says a vast, right-wing conspiracy that once targeted him is now focusing on President Barack Obama.
By golly, he's right. I've even got a membership card.
Well what do we have here?
WASHINGTON — The White House acknowledged for the first time Friday that it might not be able to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay by January as President Barack Obama has promised.
The heads are prolly exploding at Kos right now.
Senior administration officials told The Associated Press that difficulties in completing the lengthy review of detainee files and resolving thorny legal and logistical questions mean the president's self-imposed January deadline may slip. Obama remains as committed to closing the facility as he was when, as one of his first acts in office, he pledged to shut it down, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to more freely discuss the sensitive issue.
Fantasy meet reality.
Obama promised soon after taking office — and many times since — to close the prison, arguing that doing so is crucial to restoring America's image in the world and to creating a more effective anti-terror approach.But eight months after Obama's pledge and with only four months to go before the January deadline, a number of difficult issues remain unresolved. They include establishment of a new set of rules for military trials, finding a location for a new prison to house detainees and finding host countries for those who can be released.
There is a reason these dudes are at Gitmo. Too bad Jug Hussein Ears doesn't understand this.
One Big Assed Mistake America.
I had a great week. I would have posted more, but after a full day of diving and a nice meal (Bonaire has some really good restaurants), I was tired. Also, the connectivity at the resort really sucked this year. The few times I did get on I had lots of network timeouts.
We were a little bit worried about getting back to Atlanta at a decent hour. With all the rain, we were worried about the incoming flight from Atlanta getting out on time. It did and it looked like we were gonna make it back on time. About one hour out of Atlanta, the pilot came on and said that we were being diverted because of thunderstorms in Atlanta. To get off the plane we would have to go somewhere that had customs. The customs officials in Nawlins had just left so that was out. They were thinking of having us land at Montgomery Alabama and refuel. And then, the weather broke and we were rerouted back to Atlanta. We wound up beating our original ETA by ten minutes. If the pilot hadn't updated us we would not have been aware of anything.
After clearing customs and security and on the train to Baggage Claim, this blonde with real tight jeans (painted on), high heels, and a low cut top showing some awesome boobage got on and grabbed the pole that I was using to keep from rolling. She looked down at me, giving me a real nice view of the aforementioned awesome boobage and asked me which stop was Baggage Claim. I almost said Concourse Tits but managed to croak out, "It's the last stop." She then leaned her thigh against my hand on the pole for the rest of the way. Dean, one of our divers, was doing the best he could to look at his cellphone rather than stare at her, but he did get an eyeful and commented to me as she strolled away from us after we got off the train. Welcome back to the USA!
Took MARTA home. Got to sleep in my own bed. As usual, the diving at Bonaire was fantastic. I got in 17 dives. The last dive was my 150th post accident since I started diving again in 2002. I had made about 20 dives before I got injured so I'm around 170 total.
Once I catch up on the news and my mail, I'll be back to what passes for normal around here.
Diving has been awesome! Connectivity sucks. That is all.
Here I am in beautiful Bonaire. I had to get up at 4:15 AM. Ugh! I always take MARTA down to the airport on my dive trips. Right before downtown a panhandler came on the train and started hitting us up for money. Said he hadn't eaten anything since yesterday morning. None of us heartless bastards gave him anything. I was wondering why if he didn't have any money for food how he could afford the two bucks to ride MARTA? Slaps my head. What am I thinking? He prolly jumped the gates.
I was the first one at the airport. I could have slept another half hour. Bert told everyone to be there by 6:30. Parnell, as he does every year, showed up at 8:00. One of the upside of being a crip is cutting the security line so we can get down to the gate fairly quickly.
By the time we started the preboard (crips get on first) I looked outside and noticed it was raining buckets. There goes our chance for an on time departure. Plus they held the plane for three people who were late. One of them made it. Two of them didn't. This flight only runs on Saturday. The two who missed the flight were SOL.
Because of the rain, departures were spaced more than normal. We were an hour late taking off. We made decent time. The staff at the airport in Bonaire were really on the ball. Theyn took us crips to the front of the passport control line. Another new thing was they had a buss with a wheelchair lift to take us to the resort.
This year, there are only three of us in chairs: Cindy, a C3/C4 quad (the highest spinal cord injured person Bert has ever gone diving with.) who has been on the previous two trips we made to Bonaire. Parnell, the wight lifter who won the gold medal at the Sydney Olympics, who goes with us every year; and our hero, me.
The wifi isn't any better here than it was last year. I have to go to the lobby to get on the net. I'm typing this offline and will post when I drag my crippled ass up to the lobby.
Looking forward to tomorrow when we can jump into the water!
Got this one from Pres.
A blonde and her husband are lying in bed
listening to the next door neighbor's dog.
It has been in the backyard barking for hours and hours.
The blonde jumps up out of bed and says,
"I've had enough of this".
She goes downstairs.
The blonde finally comes back up to bed
and her husband says "The dog is still barking,
what have you been doing?"
The blonde says,
"I put the dog in our backyard,
let's see how THEY like it!
This kinda ties in with me leaving for the tropics. Ya wanna get lei'd?
From Michelle.
It's that time of the year. I'm off to go SCUBA diving in Bonaire. Gotta get up early enough to make it to the airport by 6:30. I am taking my laptop so I'll be in touch. I may even post a picture or two.
I could have given Jimmah Carter the coveted award this week, but I decided to "spread the wealth" and give it to Hank Johnson. Who is Hank Johnson? He's the booger eatin' moh-ron who defeated Cynthia McCommie in the Dimocrat primary back in 2006 thus guaranteeing him the seat since there is no way a Republican could win in that district. I watched the debate between the two of them. Hank has the personality and intellect of a stump. McCommie cleaned his clock but it didn't matter. This was after she clocked the security guard with her cellphone. Any black Dimocrat could have defeated her.
Hank has been relatively silent since his election in 2006 and his reelection in 2008. That changed this week when he was the next dipstick to cry racism.
Making an obvious reference to the Ku Klux Klan, Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said Tuesday that people will be putting on "white hoods and white uniforms again and riding through the countryside" if emerging racist attitudes, which he says were subtly supported by Wilson, are not rebuked. He said Wilson must be disciplined as an example.
Yep! I just got my sheet and hood back from the cleaners and, by golly, I'm ready to ride!
What a freaking maroon. Joe Wilson called JHE a liar and the next thing you know, the Klan is gonna ride again and there'll be wholesale lynchings. Do these idiots even realize, in this day and age when we have elected a black president, how incredibly stupid they sound? I guess not. Racist idiots like Johnson, Maxine Waters, and Jimmah Carter oughta just STFU, but they can't help themselves. And as they continue to scream racism, they cheapen the meaning of the word.
Here's your award Hank.
Yannow, I used to be a regular reader of Little Green Footballs. No longer. Instead, I read these guys. One of their writers is none other than long time commenter, Rob Cooper.
A lot of people on the web are wondering WTF happened to Charles Johnson. What they fail to remember is that Charles used to be a liberal. He admits to voting for Pope Albert I of the Church of AGW back in 2000. 9/11 changed him. But as 9/11 and its memories fade into the past, Charles has rediscovered his liberal roots. That's my theory.
TNOYF has has another theory.
Update: BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Like others, I predicted that when Jug Hussein Ears was elected that any opposition to his policies would be considered racist. That's the Dimocrat way: portray Republicans and conservatives as sexist, racist homophobes. Dick sent me this list of items that make us racist in the style of Jeff Foxworthy.
f you think that a czar is unconstitutional, then...
.........You Might Be a Racist!
If you are opposed to a government run health care system, then...
.........You Might Be a Racist!
If you think that it is unAmerican to bow before the Saudi King, then...
.........You Might Be a Racist!
If you think that the stimulus plan has been an utter failure, then...
.........You Might Be a Racist!
If you think that this administration is driving the deficit up at alarming rates, then...
.........You Might Be a Racist!
If you think that this is a nation based on Christian values, then...
.........You Might Be a Racist!
If you think that communism and socialism are NOT the solution, then...
.........You Might Be a Racist!
If you value the 1st Amendment, but think that the media is State ran, then...
.........You Might Be a Racist!
If you are sick and tired of the Race card being played, then...
.........You Might Be a Racist!
If you are a racist according to the current liberal agenda, then...
.........You might just be an American!
Now, that senile old fool, the worst president of the 20th Century, Jimmah Carter weighs in.
A day after wading into the President Barack Obama-Joe Wilson imbroglio, former President Jimmy Carter is not backing down from his comments that racism played a role in the controversy.Carter said that Wilson’s comments — yelling “You lie,” as Obama addressed a joint session of Congress, was sparked by general attitudes from people who have an “aversion to have a black person as president.”
See, to Jimmah, if you oppose JHE you must be a racist.
“I think it’s unprecedented to attack a president, wishing he were dead, and equating him with animals and Adolf Hitler,” Carter said. “That was the point that I made.”
Where the freaking heck were you during the eight years that Chimpy McHalliburton Bushitler was president you doddering old fool? The left constantly referred to him as Chimpy even going so far as comparing him to Curious George. And let's not forget Bushitler. I never saw you outraged when he was referred to as Bushitler or all the pictures of him with a Hitler mustache. And furthermore there was a movie about an assassination of him. Many on the left thought that assassination was a good idea. In my lifetime, I have never seen so much vitriol and hatred spewed at a president from the left and I was alive during the Nixon years. Jimmah, you are a fucking hypocrite!
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, rejected Carter’s notion that race played a part in Wilson’s comments.“The president does not believe that criticism comes based on the color of his skin,” Gibbs said in his Wednesday briefing at the White House. “We understand that people have disagreements with some of the decisions that we’ve made and some of the extraordinary actions that had to be taken by both this administration and the previous administration.”
The more the race card gets played, the less effective it becomes. It's like the little boy who cried "wolf". Eventually, the American people will get sick and tired of it. Remember, JHE was supposed to move us beyond race, instead, we have the usual suspects carrying around a deck of race cards, like that idiot Maxine Waters and the booger eatin' moh-ron Hank Johnson. More on that asshole tomorrow. Ooops! Did I just reveal the AOTW?
In the 28-plus years Carter has been out of the White House, he has never been one to settle into quiet retirement.
Unfortunately, that's true. He keeps trying to salvage his failed presidency, but in the last few years he has become not only the worst president this country has ever had, but now he's becoming the worst ex-president this country has ever had. If only he had stuck to building houses.
On Tuesday, during an NBC interview and at a town hall meeting at the Carter Center, he was asked how he felt about what was said by Wilson, a member of the House from South Carolina.“I think it’s based on racism. There is an inherent feeling among many people in this country that an African-American ought not to be president and ought not to be given the same respect as if he were white,” Carter said. “And this has permeated politics ever since I’ve been involved with it back in the 1960s, not only the South but also in many places throughout the nation.”
GMAFB! I have absolutely no problem with having a black president. It's nice to see that forty years after the Civil Rights Act, that ended segregation, we have elected a black man to the most powerful position in the world. My problem is not the color of his skin but his ideology. He's a rat bastard commie.
By opening his mouth and showing just how stupid he is, Jimmah Carter is revealing his closet racism. I have not heard anyone on the right refer to JHE as a "black boy". Jimmah did.
“President Carter is flat-out wrong. This isn’t about race. It is about policy,” said RNC Chairman Michael Steele. “This is a pathetic distraction by Democrats to shift attention away from the president’s wildly unpopular government-run health care plan that the American people simply oppose.”
Steele, by the way, is black.
It's way past the time for Jimmah to shuffle off the stage. He has become a joke, and a bad one at that.
From MoK.
Just remember that the Dimocrats have different standards than Republicans. A murderer was the "Lion of the Senate". A former KKK Kleagle is an honored Senator. He also said "nigger" on a Sunday talk show. Jimmah Carter called Jug Hussein Ears a "black boy". And they call Republicans racists. Remember how Pelosi was gonna drain the swamp? I guess she can't because Rangel and Murtha are clogging up the drain.
We truly have the best politicians that money can buy.
Claudia is 80 years old today. Happy Birthday and many more! I'll drink a toast to you tonight.
Update: Elisson and I drank a toast to you tonight.
MoK was at the 9/12 rally in DC over the weekend. Here is her report.

As you all should know, Jug Hussein Ears went to Wall Street yesterday to give another speech.
"Obama on Wall Street today. That's like sending a child molester to speak to a kindergarten class." - Neal Boortz
Or sending Bill Clinton to a rape crisis center. "You better put some ice on that."
More rally signs "professionally created by big business" looking to "astroturf" health care reform.
These pictures were taken by Sandra S.
So there were some letters published in the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation about Jug Hussein Ears' speech to the chirren last week. Here is one of them.
Congratulations to Cobb County schools and all other school districts in the metro Atlanta region and nationwide that chose not to broadcast President Barack Obama’s speech.Instead of teaching our children the very valuable lesson of staying in school, working hard to achieve goals and dreams, and working for the betterment of our country, these school districts have taught our children that the office of the president of the United States of America is not to be respected. They have taught schoolchildren that a president is only to be respected if the president’s political party is aligned with that of their parents or the majority vote of the county where they live.
They have provided kids with the fundamental basics needed to show disrespect to elders — after all, if you can disrespect the president, why not the local sheriff, the mayor, the principal?
These school districts have done the equivalent of what the Iraqi journalist did when he took off his shoes and threw them at President George W. Bush. What a sad day for our children and for our country.
Melissa O’Brien, Kennesaw
I'll just bet Melissa was one of those people who think "Bush lied, people died". I just wonder if she was upset at Dimocrats equating Chimpy McHalliburton Bushitler with Hitler? Or Harry Reid calling Bush a liar on many occasions. I don't remember any outrage there. I also don't remember anyone sponsoring a resolution that Harry Reid apologize.
Howza 'bout the Dims booing Bush during his state of the union speech in 2005? There was a lesson in respect of the president and lack of decorum during his speech. Front in center of the booing was our current occupant of the White House.
These crocodile tears about lack of respect for the president are just that. I have never seen so much disrespect of the office of president in my entire lifetime as I saw during the Bush years and this includes the Nixon administration.
Dimocrats have set the standard for respect and now they're pissed off that conservatives are treating their guy with the same amount of respect that they treated Chimpy. I take that back. Conservatives have still not sunk to the Dims' level of behavior. But then, conservatives are adults. Dims are whining little crybabies.
I have decided that I will give JHE the same amount of respect that Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Schumer, and JHE himself, gave to Chimpy. I will not compare him to Curious George like the left did to Chimpy, even though JHE looks more like him than Bushitler does.
OMFG! I must be a racist!
Update: I think SondraK is as well.
MoK was at the rally in Washington, DC. She sent me a picture of her sign. She hasn't posted it on her site yet, but has promised some pictures from the rally.
Holy crap! Pavel Chekhov (Walter Koenig) is 73 today. I feel really old.
It's another FOD and these guys created this video. Singing sucks but I like the words.
And to go along with that, here's a picture that Dick sent me from Saturday's rally.
"We now have more czars than Russia had in its entire history." - Herman Cain.
Another really bad one from Richard.
Susie knew she had hit the jackpot when she found a four-leaf clover. Everything went right for her. She found a great boyfriend. She got a great job. And it hardly ever rained.
Then one day, she left the clover in clothes that went to the dry cleaner. It was still there when she retrieved the clothes. But it had been flattened. Her luck immediately turned rotten. She lost her boyfriend and the job. And she was caught in one storm after another. Finally, she complained to her dad.
"It's like I always tell you," he said.
"Never press your luck!"
Woody sent me this sign.
Sadly, that's true.
Don Surber linked. Thanks!
It's not really metal, but it's loud and Paul did such a good job putting it together.
From John.
"A brunette, a red-head and a blonde break out of Holloway Prison. They hide in a barn from the police and get into some sacks. The police come in and feel the sack with the brunette in it - she goes 'miaow'! They go on to feel the sack with the red-head in it - she goes 'woof!' Finally they feel the sack with the blonde in it. The blonde shouts: potatoes!"
It's interesting that I get a lot of my boobage pics from women. This one is from MoK.
It should come as no surprise that I'm giving the prestigious AOTW Award to the Liar-In-Chief, Jug Hussein Ears. First for the speech full of lies that he read off TOTUS the other night. Let me count the lies.
Illegals won't be covered. Lie
No funding for abortion. Lie.
Obamacare will not add to the federal deficit. Lie.
He will protect Medicare. Lie.
And the list goes on and on.
I'm surprised Joe Wilson was able to go as long as he did before shouting, "You lie!"
The entire speech was a pack of lies. This guy lies even more than BJ Clinton and that says a lot.
And now the Kenyan-In-Chief says that we should make 9/11 a "Day of service". Hey. I'll go along with that. Why don't we serve up some cruise missiles for our real enemies? Yannow, Saudi Arabia which sponsors much of the Islamic terrorism in the world. One nuke each for Mecca, Medina, and Riyadh. While we're at it, let's serve up a couple of nukes for Tehran and Qom.
And neither he nor Plugs visited Ground Zero today. JHE helped paint a house. He must really hate America and 9/11 to pass up a chance to give a patriotic speech at Ground Zero.
And we just found out the truth about ACORN the nice organization where JHE earned his chops. We taxpayers are giving $8.5 billion to this corrupt organization. How's that for hope and change?
So how do you feel now America by electing this buttwipe to the most powerful position in the world? He's a lying rat bastard commie who is associated with a corrupt organization that is all for underage prostitution. We have two amateurs taping and exposing the corruption of ACORN and doing the job that the LSM should be doing. Instead the LSM is all concerned that Joe Wilson took NoDoz. Holy freaking crap, Toto! We sure ain't in Kansas anymore! Or as James Traficant, the Dimocrat from Ohio, who was just released from prison, used to say when he was in Congress, "Beam me up Mr. Speaker."
So to the black Jimmah Carter, JHE, prolly the most incompetent and un-American president this country has ever had, here is yet another AOTW Award.
So Joe Wilson apologized to the liar-in-chief for his outburst. It's a good thing Dimocrats are more polite. BTW, JHE was one of those dipshits who were booing. Was there a call for the Dims to apologize for their lack of decorum? Did any of them apologize? Are you fucking kidding me? Double standard? Nah!
BTW, Joe Wilson was right. JHE is a liar. But then he is a rat bastard commie. If he told the truth he would have never gotten elected.
It's been eight years since the worst terrorist attack on American soil occurred. So where are we now?
We haven't finished building anything on the site of the twin towers. Eight years later! Nada! Now I was in favor of rebuilding the WTC, only bigger. Or build five buildings and make them different heights so it looks like we're flipping the bird. Fuck you, Moo-slimes!
The Flight 93 memorial has still not been built. Eight years later! Sometimes I wish Flight 93 had finished its mission if the mission was crashing into the capitol. I know a few congresscritters we could do without.
Now our Kenyan-in-Chief has declared it a "National Day of Service and Remembrance". Service and Remembrance? WTF? I get the Remembrance part, but Service? Only a community organizer or a rat bastard commie could come up with that. But you have to remember, Jug Hussein Ears, Pelosi, Frank, Schumer, and the rest of the rat bastard commie Dimocrats view 9/11 as a speed bump on the road to their socialist utopia.
Now, we have the rat bastard commies looking to prosecute members of the Bush administration for keeping us safe and preventing another 9/11. Jesus H. Christ! Where's the outrage?
I don't give a flying fuck that we waterboarded Khalid Sheik Mo-Sheethead. I wouldn't have lost a wink of sleep if we had pulled out his fingernails one by one or inserted hot bamboo slivers underneath his fingernails. This bastard beheaded Danial Pearl fer chrissakes!
The clueless libs scream that we have to honor the Geneva Convention with these terrorists because if we don't, they won't. Here's a newsflash: It doesn't matter. They won't honor the Geneva Convention no matter what we do. Exhibit one: The above mentioned Daniel Pearl.
Rendition? Jimmy crack corn and I don't fucking care.
We are at war. This is WWIV. The Cold War was WWIII and we won that despite the rat bastard commies in the Dimocrat Party who wanted us to lose, and that includes the sainted hero of Chappaquiddick, the Floater. They were on the wrong side of history then and they're on the wrong side of history now. They don't even want to call it a war on terror anymore. Of course, war on terror was always a misnomer. To be more accurate, it is a war on Islamic terrorism.
Now we have a lying (Joe Wilson was right) rat bastard commie president and his fellow rat bastard commies in Congress who basically wants us to surrender. They think we can talk to these barbarians and everything will be like Kumbaya and then we can go back to 9/10/2001 and get back to the important stuff like socialized medicine, higher taxes, crippling our economy, and wealth redistribution.
As 9/11 gets further back into the past, we can shrug our shoulders and say it was a one time thing. After we withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan the Moo-slime world will love us. Why not? JHE gave a speech. Chris Matthews got a tingle down his leg and Osama bin Laden laughed. He knew we were a paper tiger after we left Somalia with our tail between our legs. That's when he knew we could defeated. Now he sees a pussy running the country who thinks Republicans and conservatives are bigger enemies than the nutbag terrorists who want to destroy us.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going. JHE makes a speech.
I stated after 9/11 that we had just commenced WWIV. I also stated that just like the Cold War it would be a multigenerational war and that the Dimocrats would undermine our efforts just like they did in the Cold War. It took a Reagan to win the Cold War despite the Dims' best efforts to undermine him. Americans do not have the stomach for a long war. Look at Viet Nam. Now look at Iraq and Afghanistan. We're leaving. We're not gonna finish the job.
Somewhere in a cave in Bora Bora, Osama bin Laden is smiling. Once again, he sees us as a paper tiger. As the noted philosopher Pogo once said, "We have met the enemy and it is us."
Never forget!
Went down to the pool tonight for my last practice session before Bonaire. Didn't get sick. All went well. I should be good to go.
I used to have to use ten pounds of weight in fresh water. Last week I only used eight and I was still too negative. Dove with six pounds tonight and it was cool. We'll have to see if I still need twelve pounds in salt water.
Leaving a week from this Saturday.
I stole this from Neal Boortz.
Reports are that Chris Matthews was hospitalized last night with uncontrollable thrills running up and down his leg.
Mike sent me this.
Contraception is almost five times cheaper as a means of preventing climate change than conventional green technologies, according to research by the London School of Economics.
Do tell.
Every £4 spent on family planning over the next four decades would reduce global CO2 emissions by more than a ton, whereas a minimum of £19 would have to be spent on low-carbon technologies to achieve the same result, the research says.
Wear a rubber for the planet!
The report, Fewer Emitter, Lower Emissions, Less Cost, concludes that family planning should be seen as one of the primary methods of emissions reduction. The UN estimates that 40 per cent of all pregnancies worldwide are unintended.
Keep it in your pants for the planet!
If these basic family planning needs were met, 34 gigatons (billion tonnes) of CO2 would be saved – equivalent to nearly 6 times the annual emissions of the US and almost 60 times the UK’s annual total.
For the ladies: Keep your legs crossed for the planet!
The research is published on the day that the Government’s climate change advisers, the Climate Change Committee, warned households and industry that a planned 80 per cent reduction in emissions are likely to prove insufficient.
Of course not. To meet the draconian goals these wackos have set would turn the western industrial nations into third world countries. So now we know why the UK's NHS wants geezers to die. It's not to save money, it's to save the planet.
I wonder how much money was spent on this study?
From David.
Have you noticed how many of the people at the tea parties and town hall meetings are geezers? Geezers are pissed. And geezers vote.

I feel like crap today so once again I feature a rant from Ron just in time for Jug Hussein Ears' speech tonight.
Rain chased me away from prunin trees and trimmin shrubs in the back yard today, so I wuz gonna gin up one of my typical rants on socialized medicine, and socialism, and medicine, and all that. But I don't think anybody ever reads the damned things, so I got about halfway thru it and quit. Here's what I got to:
The main reason socialism hasn't worked on a large scale anywhere it's ever been tried is that socialists tend to be in charge of it and screw it up. Hell, if government could create jobs for everybody, manufacture medicine and beam doctors around where they're needed, and raise children without making neurotics and psychotics out of them, every country on the planet would have gone socialist decades ago. Basically, some of socialism's tenets are sound and good while others often sound good but aren't. In many ways, lots of us are socialists to fairly extensive degrees, perfectly willing to accept money and privileges and benefits that wouldn't exist without government programs.
For example, lotsa Murkan people believe that MediCare and MedicAid are inalienable rights or something when in fact, they are a form of socialized medicine. Those of us who accept the bennies like to believe we earned them through withholding taxes or long-term service to the nation or the people by being in certain professions such as law enforcement, military, and government jobs. And that's true in many cases. The danger in that thinking is believing that when WE get what WE think WE've earned, that's o.k., but when the government does similar things for other people, well . . . that's socialism. And that's right, too, when people who haven't paid their dues (such as illegals or deadbeats) get unearned services and settlements that the rest of us wind up paying for.
In a weird way, socialism often turns out to be the means to success and luxury for weaklings, wimps, and worthless bastards, sort of their form of capitalism. But in terms of caring for the sick, the best medicine for a sick country is a good dose of history, which provides limitless examples, both good and bad, of how people have tried to resolve problems. Read enough of it and sooner or later you'll run smack into whatever's bugging you or your society. The trick is to learn from somebody else's failures and successes so that each generation doesn't have to rediscover fire and re-invent the wheel for itself.
This country was created precisely and specifically because many of the colonists didn't trust the King's government to do what was best for them. What the founders did was set up means by which the people could keep an eye on government, not the other way around.
Today we have an administration which believes the people are nothing more than annoyances when they're not revenue sources for government programs designed to redistribute wealth from successful people to habitual losers. The Kenyan-in-Chief and his minions have repeatedly declared that people who go to town hall meetings with slingshots instead of cookies for their representatives are disrupting progress, shouting down open discussion, and cheating 47 million "uninsured" Americans out of their birthright. Well, HA! Mr. Precedent, I laugh on your sleeve, sir. If dissent is patriotism, then assent could very well be perfidy when government gets too big for its britches.
And that's as far as I got. Wuz gonna research that 47 million figure and put it into perspective, but the rain has stopped again, so I'm goin back out to hack down encroachment growth along my fence. Wish rooting out worthless politicians were as easy as hacking out white oak, honeysuckle, and wisteria.
And your money and your personal choice.
From Pres.
Geez. I haven't played this game in ages. Russ sent me this story.
Fulton County authorities have set two court dates for Jeanette Jamieson, a former state representative, on the tax evasion indictments she faces.
I'll just bet that she's a Dimocrat. Why? Because her party affiliation is not mentioned in the first paragraph. If this were about a Republican it would prolly be in the first sentence.
Let's check the second paragraph.
According to information provided by Fulton County officials, the first court date will take place Aug. 22. The second court date is set for Sept. 4, and both will take place in Fulton County.
Nope. Nothing there. Let's skip down to the very last paragraph.
Jamieson represented District 28, which covers Stephens and Banks counties as well as part of Franklin County, in the Georgia House of Representatives beginning in 1984. A Democrat, she lost a re-election bid in November 2008.
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winnah. Notice that not only is it in the last paragraph, it's in the last sentence of the last paragraph.
I guess I should be giving them props for even mentioning her party.
My friend Cindy's daughter got married over the weekend. Cindy knitted this lion for a young boy in the wedding party.
I've posted pictures of her knitting before here and here.
To see the rest just go down the left sidebar to the "Search this site" box and type in "birthday sweater".
She used to knit me a sweater every year for my birthday. Unfortunately, now that I'm retired, I don't have many chances to wear any of 'em. I wear them to wine events in the winter, at my sister's house over Christmas, and any other time I go out someplace nice in the winter.
Aramalamadingdong challenges Jug Hussein Ears to a public debate at the UN.
What do they have to debate about?
Israel is evil. Check. They both agree on that.
Get out of Iraq. Check. They both agree on that.
Iran has a peaceful nuke program. Check. They both agree on that.
The last Iranian election was honest with no voter fraud. Check. They both agree on that.
The American military is evil. Check. They both agree on that.
There's not too much to debate. Why don't they just have a joint press conference instead?
And let's not forget what day it is. It's FOD!
I stole this from the comments on a post at Don Surber's
Who would have ever thought that Glenn Beck was an artist?
He made the Van Go.
Good thing I made him AOTW when I did. And suddenly Pravda the LSM has to write sumpin' about Van Jones. Up to his resignation Saturday night, it was Glenn Beck and the blogs who did the work that Pravda the LSM was supposed to do. Turns out they really are the state run media. They are no longer journalists but simple propagandists. And they wonder why their viewership and readership is declining.
Key Monroe is in the hospital with an aneurysm of the aorta. She's being watched over by V-Man.. Get well soon, Key.
Yep! Van Jones is no longer a czar. He's now an archduke. Good thing I made him the AOTW while I had the chance.
“After careful consideration, I have decided that some of Van Jones’ actions do not meet the exacting criteria I have established for the Czar position,” said the President. “First, it appears that Mr. Jones twice signed documents supporting the theory that the Bush Administration was somehow complicit in the 9-11 attacks. Hogwash. That Mr. Jones apparently still clings to a tired old theory when anyone with half a brain knows that fire can’t melt steel tells me the young man still has some learning to do.”
This one is from MoK.

Well crap! It was a tie between a security guard stifling freedom of speech and some dipshit congresscritter gushing over how great Fidel Castro and Cuba are. People who say this shit about commie countries never seem to want to move to those Utopian paradises. And don't they ever see that people are always trying to escape those countries and there is not an exodus of people banging on the gates trying to get in? Geez! I figgered that out when I was a kid and saw that people were trying to escape from East Berlin. The abject stupidity of rat bastard commie sympathizers never ceases to amaze me.
But those two assholes were beat out by Jug Hussein Ear's newest czar, the Green Energy Jobs Czar, a rat bastard commie racist asshole named Van Jones. He's also a 9/11 Truther, though he denies it. Gateway Pundit is all over this story here, here, and here.
Hope. Change. Racist rat bastard commies. JHE has such great friends doesn't he?
I had to get this guy in quick 'cause he might not be around much longer but Pravda the LSM isn't covering this so he might survive. Big surprise there. And they wonder why Fox News is killing them in the ratings. The people are beginning to see that Pravda the LSM is the propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party.
So Van Jones, you racist rat bastard commie, here is your award, the coveted AOTW Award.
Update: Don Surber has more.
Unemployment is now at 9.7%.
Employers cut jobs in August at their slowest pace in a year, but a jump in the unemployment rate to a 26-year-high of 9.7% reinforced worries that a weak labor market could weigh on consumer spending and the vigor of the economic recovery.
Of course Lyin' Joe, sez that 750,000 jobs have been saved.
In a speech marking the second hundred days of the plan, Mr. Biden predicted that the stimulus package will have created or saved a total of 750,000 jobs since it was passed in February. The president's Council of Economic Advisers on Sept. 10 will issue its estimates of the number of jobs saved and created with stimulus spending.
How's that hope and change stuff working out for you America?
I love this woman. If that's her husband she's hugging at the end, he is one lucky man.

Do you notice that the Dims keep accusing the opponents of JHECare of astroturfing? Astrotrfing, of course, is fake grassroots support, sumpin' that is a specialty of the Dims. Let's see.

"You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."*
* Adrian Rogers, 1931
Too bad that our rulers "public servants" and the people who vote for them do not understand this truism.
From Dick. At least it's not as bad as the Spanish Inquisition.
Men lose their minds talking to pretty women. They had to do a study on that? WTF?
Talking to an attractive woman really can make a man lose his mind, according to a new study.
So can dating one. I dated two megababes and both of them caused me to go batshit crazy. I only had sex with one of them and I do have to say it was the best sex I have ever had in my life. I broke up with her because she was unable to tell the truth about anything. I think it really is true that no matter how beautiful the woman, someone, somewhere has gotten tired of her bullshit.
But I digress.
The research shows men who spend even a few minutes in the company of an attractive woman perform less well in tests designed to measure brain function than those who chat to someone they do not find attractive.
Exactly why is this a surprise? Robin Williams told us why in one of his comedy routines. A man only has enough blood for either his brain or his penis.
Researchers who carried out the study, published in the Journal of Experimental and Social Psychology, think the reason may be that men use up so much of their brain function or 'cognitive resources' trying to impress beautiful women, they have little left for other tasks.
No. That's not true. Brain. Penis. And a corollary to that is a stiff dick has no conscience. Ask BJ Clinton.
The findings have implications for the performance of men who flirt with women in the workplace, or even exam results in mixed-sex schools.
So only employ ugly women and send the babes to separate schools.
Women, however, were not affected by chatting to a handsome man.
Of course not. Life isn't fair.
I would really expect this to be a Greek ship.
Hell of a name for a ship full of seamen. I know. It's not Monday but I liked the pun.

Just ask tax cheat Geithner or tax cheat Rangel. Or this guy.
A Westport lawmaker who voted to hike the state sales and alcohol taxes was spotted brazenly piling booze in his car - adorned with his State House license plate - in the parking lot of a tax-free New Hampshire liquor store, the Herald has learned.
But legislators shouldn't have to live by the laws they pass. Ask Congress.
Michael J. Rodrigues’ blue Ford Crown Victoria, emblazoned with his “House 29” Massachusetts license plate, was parked outside a Granite State liquor store on Interstate-95 South over the weekend, according to a witness who provided pictures to the Herald.
A Crown Vic? This is a Taxachusetts Dimocrat. Shouldn't he be driving a Prius or sumpin' to "save the planet"? How do I know he's a Dimocrat? Simple. His party affiliation was not mentioned in the first paragraph. That distinction is reserved for Republicans.
A member of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, Rodrigues did not return several phone calls yesterday. But in an online interview with The Standard-Times in New Bedford, he acknowledged buying the booze during a bathroom stop while he and his wife were on a weekend getaway in New Hampshire.He also blamed the brouhaha on “Republican demagoguery.”
Yep. Them damn Republicans forced him to buy the tax free booze so they could demagogue it.
“Unfortunately, I think that’s why the Republican Party is in such bad shape in Massachusetts,” Rodrigues is quoted as saying. “The electorate here is smart enough to figure out what they’re up to.”
The same electorate that sent the Floater to the Senate for the rest of his life after he left a young girl to die and didn't report the accident until the next morning after he had sobered up. The same electorate that reelects Barney Frank and Flipper year after year. The same electorate that will prolly reelect this dooshbag. Smart electorate.
The Westport Democrat, whose family owns a rug business, was among the lawmakers who voted in an unpopular 25 percent sales tax hike for Bay Staters. The increase pushed the sales tax to 6.25 percent and slapped that same levy on booze - the first time alcohol has been subject to retail sales tax.
Pretty good. Only took them until the eighth paragraph to mention that he was a Dimocrat.
The hike has been blasted by business owners, especially those on the New Hampshire border, who say the increase has driven business north.
Imagine that.
“It’s absolutely unbelievable that a Massachusetts state representative would be that hypocritical, let alone be that bold to actually drive his car with political plates to a New Hampshire liquor store,” said Cimini, noting Rodrigues represents communities close to his stores. “He’s up in New Hampshire to avoid the very taxes he approved.”
Hypocritical? A Dimocrat? I'm shocked! Maybe the smart electorate in Taxachusetts will vote this dipstick out in the next election but I wouldn't bet on it. This is the state that elected Floater, Flipper, and Slobber Boy.
From Poulsen. Look out dude. The sheetheads will be after both of us now.
A amn protesting against health care reform had part of his finger bitten off by a thug in favor of health care reform. Wonder if the biter was ACORN or SEIU?
Update: It was a MoveOn thug.
Light posting. Why? Yesterday sucked!
It didn't start out sucking. Actually, it started out great. I went to the eye doctor. I got the cute optometrist again. No changes in my vision. My insurance covered everything. I'm getting another pair of contacts which will mostly be covered by insurance. Just in time. I'm leaving for Bonaire two weeks from this Saturday and my spare contacts are from my last prescription.
So far so good.
We always do some pool work before going on a dive trip. This familiarizes us with our dive gear and dive procedures. That means we don't waste our first dives on our trip. So last night was my first night back in the pool. I had my regulator and BCD serviced last month so this also makes sure there's nothing wrong with them.
I haven't had my predive haircut yet so my hair is really long. That gave me some minor mask problems.
I practiced taking my weights in and out with my webbed dive gloves on. I had a weight pulled out by my dive buddy last year and had a devil of a time trying to get it back in. It was a struggle, but I got it done. Need more practice. I also took off my BCD under water and got it back on OK.
About then, I started feeling nauseous. Went to the surface and hung on to the pool wall until it went away.
Went back down and practiced a controlled emergency ascent. Got nauseous again. This time it didn't go away. Hurled. Had an empty stomach, so all that came up was bile. Decided to call it quits. Good decision. Ralphed a few more times.
I made it home OK but it started again as I was unloading my truck.
Blogging was out of the question.
After I went to bed, I had one more episode.
Don't have a clue as to what the problem was. I just hope I'm not coming down with the flu.
Let's just imagine that someone sent out a memo that whites need to stick together and back a white candidate. Racist, right? Can you imagine the howls of rage from RWPP's like the Rightous Rev's Sharpton and Jackson?
But here in Atlanta, all politics is racial. A memo like that was circulated amongst the black community, but that isn't racism. Ya see, whites voting for whites because they are white is racist. Blacks voting for blacks because they are black is not. Makes perfect sense to me.
So now, the booger eatin' racist moh-rons who wrote the memo are defending it. Atlanta is growing more white and they are afraid that Atlanta will elect a white mayor. Can't have that happen.
The Atlanta mayor’s race continued to be mired in the issue of race Tuesday as two Clark Atlanta University professors defended a controversial memo that some say suggests black residents unite behind an African-American candidate.Professors William Boone and Keith Jennings said their analysis of the campaign has been misinterpreted by reporters. The men, who are both black, said they were only noting assertions among some African-Americans that City Council President Lisa Borders is best equipped to defeat Councilwoman Mary Norwood, the leading white candidate in the race.
“We would never suggest such a thing,” Jennings said at a news conference at Paschal’s restaurant.
No. Not us. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Candidate Kasim Reed, who held a prayer breakfast at Paschal’s during the professors’ press conference, called the memo “bigoted” and “racist.”“I believe (the memo) is destructive to the fabric of this city,” Reed told reporters.
And Kasim Reed is black.
But here is part of the memo. You be the judge.
Time is of the essence because in order to defeat a [Mary] Norwood (white) mayoral candidacy we have to get out now and work in a manner to defeat her without a runoff, and the key is a significant Black turnout in the general election;
What they are essentially advocating is getting all blacks to unite behind Lisa Borders (the leading black candidate) to avoid a runoff that Mary Norwood (a white candidate) just might win.
As I pointed out earlier, if a memo like this had circulated around the white community, it would be considered racist. Atlanta has the opportunity to have a white mayor for the first time in 35 years and it is driving some in the black community nuts.
By the way, I don't have a dog in this fight since I don't live in Atlanta. I live outside Atlanta in Beautiful Dunwoody. I am enjoying the food fight in the Dimocrat Party in Atlanta. As for Republicans? In Atlanta? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! They all live in the suburbs, like Beautiful Dunwoody.
