A.W.O.L.

I really hate to do this to everyone on such short notice, but I'm going to have to disappear for a few weeks. I am burned out and just tired. I also have some very important personal matters to attend to. I will be in a secret, undisclosed location for the next few weeks. When I return I will have some exciting news for everyone.

In the meantime, take care of yourselves and stay safe.

I leave you in Vilmar's good hands for the duration. Please, be kind to him during my absence. I will be back in a few weeks.

Vilmar, you have the conn .... steady as she goes ....

Quote Of The Day

"History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon."
-- Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 - 1821)


On This Day In History

July 22, 1934 - Dillinger Gunned Down
Outside Chicago's Biograph Theatre, notorious criminal John Dillinger--America's "Public Enemy No. 1"--is killed in a hail of bullets fired by federal agents. In a fiery bank-robbing career that lasted just over a year, Dillinger and his associates robbed 11 banks for more than $300,000, broke jail and narrowly escaped capture multiple times, and killed seven police officers and three federal agents.

In April of 1934, the Dillinger gang went to hide out at a resort in Wisconsin, but the FBI was tipped off. On April 22, the FBI stormed the resort. In a disastrous operation, three civilians were mistakenly shot by the FBI, one of whom died; Baby Face Nelson killed one agent, shot another, and critically wounded a police officer; the entire Dillinger gang escaped.

With two other gang members, Dillinger traveled to Chicago, surviving a shoot-out with Minnesota police along the way. In Chicago, he lived in a safe house and got a facelift to conceal his identity. At some point, he also used acid to burn off his fingerprints. On June 30, he participated in his last robbery, in South Bend, Indiana. The gang got away with about $30,000 at the cost of one officer killed, four civilians shot, and one gang member shot.

In July, Anna Sage, a Romanian-born brothel madam in Chicago and friend of Dillinger's, agreed to cooperate with the FBI in exchange for leniency in an upcoming deportation hearing. She also hoped to cash in on the $10,000 bounty that had been put on his head. On July 22, Sage and Dillinger went to see the gangster movie Manhattan Melodrama at the Biograph Theatre around the corner from her house. Twenty FBI agents and police officers staked out the theater and waited for him to emerge with Sage, who would be wearing an orange dress to identify herself.

At 10:40 p.m., Dillinger came out. Sage's orange dress looked red under the Biograph's lights, which would earn her the nickname "the lady in red." Dillinger was ordered to surrender, but he took off running. He made it as far as an alley at the end of the block before he was gunned down, allegedly because he pulled a gun. Two bystanders were wounded in the gunfire. Public Enemy No. 1, as FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had deemed him, was dead.

Arafish Babbles On

Hat tip to James Taranto of Opinion Journal for tipping us off about Yasser Arafish's latest goon tactics. I think it is past time to nuke that cess-pit (Gaza Strip) and Arafish needs to be hung, drawn and quartered ....

Tanks but No Tanks

Yasser Arafat, beleaguered ruler of the Palestinian Arabs, is trying to gin up a health scare, the Washington Times reports from Ramallah:

Arafat accused Israel of polluting the West Bank and Gaza Strip with depleted-uranium bullets, causing a sharp increase in cancer rates.

"They have caused cancer that is like Hiroshima and Nagasaki," Mr. Arafat said in an interview. . . .

Cancer specialists at two hospitals, one in Ramallah and the other in Bethlehem, said they had seen no increase in cancer rates during the current uprising, which began in September 2000.

The Palestinian leader was referring to dense bullets of depleted uranium that are sometimes used by U.S. forces to pierce tank armor. The Palestinians have no tanks.


Meanwhile, the Toronto Globe and Mail reports that Arafat has issued "a warning to Palestinian journalists to cease all coverage of the kind of street protests that rocked the Gaza Strip and some West Bank cities last weekend":

Reporters have also been threatened with severe punishment if they depict clashes between rival groups in the Gaza Strip, such as the gunfight in Rafah that injured 12 people on Sunday.

The ban effectively prevents international news outlets from covering these events, since they depend on Palestinian photographers, reporters and editors to produce news footage and written copy for broadcasters, print media and wire services.

The last time such threats were issued was in September of 2001, when Palestinian reporters were forced to suppress images of huge street celebrations in Nablus and Bethlehem after the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. International news bureau chiefs for wire services including Reuters and Associated Press were warned that their cameramen would be in danger if their footage was broadcast in the West.


This, of course, is just the kind of censorship that delusional left-wingers accuse the American government of practicing.

Arafat won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1994.

The War Is Lost

Up until now the War Against Fat has been going pretty well. You've been trying the South Beach Diet and later the Atkins Diet. Working those pounds and blubber off has been a real struggle but you're making headway. You've lost five or ten pounds and the future is starting to look good, not to mention your waistline.

But now the evil terrorists at Krispy Kreme have launched a new offensive that somehow sneaked in under the radar at the Department Of Homeland Cellulite Security. Those evil bastards at KK just never stop in their Jihad against skinny people.

Their latest attack on dieters consists of taking their famous double-dipped, deep-fried, sugary, chocolate-coated doughnuts and .... and .... (the horror) .... converting them into MILKSHAKES! Yeegads! It's the end of civilization as we know it!

A 20 ounce Double Chocolate shake has 740 calories and 160 grams of carbs (that's the equivalent of a Wendy's Classic Double w/everything and Biggie fries). Just one of these babies could feed Ethiopia for a month and KK wants you to slurp one all by yourself? We urge you to "don't do it". Give peas a chance.



Do you want to end up looking like this?

Plane Ticket To Mongolia?

Linda Ronstadt recently had this to say after being canned at the Aladdin Casino in Las Vegas for starting a riot with her political statements urging people in the audience to go see Michael Moore's "F-9/11".
The state of the nation: "I saw a movie recently about a camel and these people in Mongolia, and I relate to them better than people here in this country. It looks like (Germany's) Weimar Republic to me here."
Weimar Republic, my ass!

Well, we here at BMEWS think Ms. Ronstadt should not be subjected to living under the cruel dictatorship in America even one day longer. We think Ms. Ronstadt deserves to be given a free one-way airplane ticket to Mongolia ASAP. There, at last, she can commune with the camels and the people she adores. Who knows, maybe the Mongolians can appreciate Michael Moore's bullshit truth and honesty.

Please send your donations to Ms. Ronstadt today and let her know how you feel about Mongolia and her political insights. Encourage her to get on that plane as quickly as possible .... and send us a postcard from Ulan Bator soon. We will miss her insightful political analysis but hey, we will muddle through somehow.

Republican Presidents have great-looking daughters. President Bush has two little cuties ....



Democratic Presidents have daughters who hang out with Communists ....



And some Democratic Presidents have daughters who are just plain homely ....

Quote Of The Day

"One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half."
-- Sir Winston Churchill


On This Day In History

July 21, 1861 - The First Battle Of Bull Run
In the first major land battle of the Civil War War Of Northern Aggression, a large Union force under General Irvin McDowell is routed by a Confederate army under General Pierre G.T. Beauregard.

Three months after the Civil War War Of Northern Aggression erupted at Fort Sumter, Union military command still believed that the Confederacy could be crushed quickly and with little loss of life. In July, this overconfidence led to a premature offensive into northern Virginia by General McDowell. Searching out the Confederate forces, McDowell led 34,000 troops--mostly inexperienced and poorly trained militiamen--toward the railroad junction of Manassas, located just 30 miles from Washington, D.C. Alerted to the Union advance, General Beauregard massed some 20,000 troops there and was soon joined by General Joseph Johnston, who brought some 9,000 more troops by railroad.

On the morning of July 21, hearing of the proximity of the two opposing forces, hundreds of civilians--men, women, and children--turned out to watch the first major battle of the Civil War War Of Northern Aggression. The fighting commenced with three Union divisions crossing the Bull Run stream, and the Confederate flank was driven back to Henry House Hill. However, at this strategic location, Beauregard had fashioned a strong defensive line anchored by a brigade of Virginia infantry under General Thomas J. Jackson. Firing from a concealed slope, Jackson's men repulsed a series of Federal charges, winning Jackson his famous nickname "Stonewall."

Meanwhile, Confederate cavalry under J.E.B. Stuart captured the Union artillery, and Beauregard ordered a counterattack on the exposed Union right flank. The rebels came charging down the hill, yelling furiously, and McDowell's line was broken, forcing his troops in a hasty retreat across Bull Run. The retreat soon became an unorganized flight, and supplies littered the road back to Washington. Union forces endured a loss of 3,000 men killed, wounded, or missing in action while the Confederates suffered 2,000 casualties. The scale of this bloodshed horrified not only the frightened spectators at Bull Run but also the U.S. government in Washington, which was faced with an uncertain military strategy in quelling the "Southern insurrection" attacking the Southerners' defense of their homeland.

On Gay Marriage

One of the hot-button issues of this Presidential campaign is the subject of "gay marriage". Personally, I think everyone has it all wrong. That includes the Left and the Right. We have more important issues to obsess over during this election year, like national security, the economy, taxes, etc. I think it's time to defuse this issue before it gets out of hand.

For the record, I am not homophobic or "anti-gay". I am, however, a staunch Conservative and can proudly boast that I have never voted for a Democrat or Liberal candidate for office since 1972 (when I became eligible to vote). Regarding homosexuality, I can sum up my entire philosophy about homosexuals in three words: "I DON'T CARE". It is no more any of my business what Bruce and Steve do in their home than it is what Bill and Susan do in theirs. I just don't care. All I ask is that they keep it to themselves. I don't want to have Bruce and Steve over for dinner and listen to their sexual exploits any more than I want to have Bill and Susan over for lunch and listen to them talk about their love life. LA-LA-LA-LA-LA .... I CAN'T HEAR YOU ....

Love is a private matter between two human beings. The only type of "love" I absolutely, totally disapprove of is that between that damned gecko and the gorgeous brunette in the GEICO commercials on TV. There is no place for "lizard love" in my universe.

I also have a problem with incest and polygamy although not as intense as my dislike of "lizard love". Anything else .... I couldn't care less. As long as it involves two consenting adults.

Which brings me to the subject of "gay marriage" (again). Here's the problem: Conservatives and Liberals are taking it too seriously because of an often misunderstood Article of the Constitution ....
Article IV

Section 1. Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof.

Section 2. The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states.
What did the framers of the Constitution intend with that? Generally speaking, they wanted to insure some sort of homogeneity between the states such that if you bought land in Georgia, the Florida government had to recognize you as a landowner. Or if you were tried of a crime in Nebraska and acquitted, then the Texas government had to recognize that you were a free man. And on and on ....

Here's the catch, though .... whatever you may think, in legal terms "marriage" is a contract between you and another human being that is licensed by the state in which you reside. Did you catch that word? Let me repeat it: licensed. Marriage is not a "right" bestowed upon you by a state or federal government. You are simply given a "marriage license" that entitles you to live together legally and enjoy the benefits of your mutual contract.

Here's the point everyone out there (and I do mean everyone) is missing: historically, "licenses" have not been transferable from state to state. Don't believe me? Try moving from Mississippi to Indiana. You have 60 days to turn in your Mississippi driver's license, take a written test and get issued an Indiana license. Fail the test and you get no license and can't drive in Indiana. Or an even better example, move from Indiana to Illinois. Your license to carry a concealed weapon is no longer valid at all and you better leave your firearms at home. The list goes on: fishing licenses issued in Louisiana are not valid in Arkansas - you need to re-apply. Hunting licenses, ditto.

Marriage licenses are the only state-issued licenses that have never been treated this way and that has only been by public consensus. A marriage license is still a state issued license just like the others mentioned above, no more and no less.

The solution to this whole "gay marriage" issue is really quite simple: treat marriage licenses just like other state-issued licenses. If you get married in Ohio and later move to Wyoming, you go to the courthouse, present evidence of your marriage in Ohio, take a test (optional) and get issued a Wyoming marriage license. If the voters of Wyoming pass a law saying "gay marriage" is not legal then .... let me see, you get issued a temporary permit to live together while you're in Wyoming but without the benefits of a legal Wyoming license (whatever they may be). I'm sure our various state legislators can sort out the details.

This solution is really very simple and satisfies everyone, Liberals as well as Conservatives. If a homosexual couple wants to get married in California or Massachusetts and the law there says the state may issue them a marriage license, then they may feel free to do so and enjoy all the privileges of married bliss (whatever they may be).

If, however, that homosexual couple decides to move to some other state where "gay marriage" licenses are not issued, they know beforehand that the rules will be different in their new home. And if they decide to sue in their new home state because they think their "rights" are being violated, everyone yell "BULLSHIT!" because, as stated above, marriage is not a "right". It is merely a state-issued license.

On this issue, Conservatives are wrongly assuming it is a Constitutional issue and an attack on "traditional marriage" from the Left. Liberals are wrongly assuming it is a Constitutional tool they can use. Both sides are wrong for all the wrong reasons. Liberals want to use state-issued licenses to enforce a Liberal agenda nationwide, regardless of what the people in other states think. They wrongly assume marriage is a "right". Conservatives, on the other hand, see it as something in the Constitution that needs to be fixed or sodomy will be forced on the nation as a whole, thereby destroying the "sanctity of marriage".

I say to both sides: the solution is right there, in front of your eyes .. as I described above. Stop fighting over a non-issue.

And while we're at it, let's make marriage licenses renewable every ten years or so, just like driver's licenses. If the marriage is failing, the couple just doesn't renew the license (of course suitable penalties would apply for "early withdrawal"). We could put millions of divorce lawyers out of business overnight. And that would be a good thing, wouldn't it? And don't even get me started on "learner's permits" ....

OK, everyone! Time to weigh in on this issue! The discussion is wide-open. Tell me if you think I'm full of shit on this issue. Tell me if you think I'm right or wrong. Speak your mind or forever hold your peace.

Under the radar?

Hell, I'm on a roll and it's raining (finally) so I might as well post one more. Then it's off to re-write and re-design my website.

It was only after reading a letter to the editor in my local paper that it dawned on me: the recent vote in the senate on same sex marriage failed, 50-48. Sure, you probably all noticed it or read it or saw it. That means two senators were missing. We all know who they are, right? The Poodle and The Breck Girl. Yep, we all knew that, too.

But what's never been addressed by media is the link between this failure to vote and the lack of leadership skills displayed by these two assclowns for not voting. What does that tell you about how they want to be perceived?

I see it as nothing more than a couple of snake oil salesmen who think they are too slick. Do we really want someone in charge of this country who can not commit to an issue simply because he does not want to piss off any group of people? Do we want a guy who looks for ways to weasel out of commitments? If so, The Poodle is your man.

I once had a local County Commissioner use the logic these assholes are using to NOT vote to try and explain why he DID vote for something we were all against ideologically. He said he voted for the measure because he knew that if he voted against it there would be no effect as he was outnumbered so by voting for it he was proving to the others he was not antagonistic. For a while I actually understood what he was trying to do. Then I got wise and realized he's nothing but a weasel.

At least we know where our President stands. That's the kind of person I want to see running---one who has the courage of his convictions and is unafraid to tell you which side he stands on in relation to any fence.

In the end, true colors flying proudly, we have the Poodle and his Puppy..... a couple of low-down, dirty, rotten, verminous scoundrels unfit to grace our White House.

And, OBTW, I looked at a Washington Post article about this vote. It takes them 19 (NINETEEN) paragraphs to inform the reader that The Poodle and The Breck Girl did not vote.

I forgot where I got this link but do us all a favor and spread this to as many people as you can. Hell, send it to everyone in your address book.

It deals with 40 reasons to vote for Bush or 40 reasons to NOT vote for Kerry. Good stuff!

Misled by Enviro-wackoes?

Could it be we are not responsible for global warming after all? Swiss and German researchers have determined that over the past 1000 years the sun has been burning brighter and hotter than before resulting in more radiation reaching the earth and being the possible cause for "global warming."

Shhhh! Do you hear it? Yeah, I do, too! It's the shrieking and wailing by tree huggers saying the researchers have got to be wrong and only evil (American) humans driving SUVs are responsible.

So if this proves conclusive, what radical steps will the enviro-weenies have us take next? Start killing ourselves off as we generate heat through simple existing (we are, you know, all running at 98.6 degrees all the time! That's GOT to generate excess heat!)

Here's a great quote from David Bellamy, a conservationist:
"Global warming - at least the modern nightmare version - is a myth. I am sure of it and so are a growing number of scientists. But what is really worrying is that the world's politicians and policy-makers are not. "Instead, they have an unshakeable faith in what has, unfortunately, become one of the central credos of the environmental movement: humans burn fossil fuels, which release increased levels of carbon dioxide - the principal so-called greenhouse gas - into the atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to heat up. They say this is global warming: I say this is poppycock." (emphasis mine)

PC Alert

It's official. Texans in Jefferson County will have to come up with a new name for Jap Road. The Anti-Defamation League filed suit and got a judge to order the name change.

In other PC Madness, MoveOn.Org has filed a petition with the FTC to make Fox News cease and desist from using the slogan "Fair and Balanced", claiming the news organization is part of the Republican Attack Machine.

What next?

We're glad you asked ....

The State Of Georgia will be suing Keebler to make them stop calling their product "crackers", claiming it is offensive to southern white people.

It will no longer be allowed to refer to cold weather as "a little nip in the air" as it might offend Japanese parachutists. No word yet on the "nip and tuck" surgical procedure.

When going on a certain type of date, you can no longer call it "going Dutch" but will instead be referred to as "shared foreplay investment".

Amazon.Com will be forced to change its name after protests from female bodybuilders. The new name will be "HunkOfBurningLove.com".

Couples will no longer be allowed to "French Kiss" each other but instead will have to settle for a "tongue-bath" or "slobber-knocker". The French were highly offended.

A "Mexican Standoff" will be referred to in the future as a "mutually agreed acceptance of equality of force". Ai, Caramba!

The mythical aphrodisiac "Spanish Fly" has been trashed after Spain filed suit. The new name will be "intercourse initiator".

After protests from the NAAWP (National Association For The Advancement of White People), jockey shorts may no longer be referred to as "tighty whiteys" but will henceforth be called "all-cotton jewel pouches".

And finally, the term "Mongolian Idiot" will no longer be used after the Mongolian government filed suit in US Court. From now on, people with genetic birth defects which limit intelligence and who exhibit strange behavior will be referred to as "Democrats".

The (spit!) French (spit!) May Be Learning A Lesson

Let's face it. (spit!) France (spit!) is one sorry-ass country. Full of ragheads, lousy GDP, dogshit filled streets, high unemployment.

The asshat, bleeding heart, moonbat socialists in our country are constantly trying to tell us how great the French system is: free education, nationalized health care, 4 weeks vacation, 35 hour work week, etc.

Hey! Give me 6 weeks vacation and work me only 30 hours a week if you want but if I can only make enough money in those 46 weeks at 30 hours to get, at best, a nasty little Renault with a 1200 CC engine to take on vacations at overcrowded beaches along with millions of other (spit!) French (spit!) in their little Renaults while walking dogs who shit on the streets, a 3 room flat in a 7th floor walk-up (or elevators so small only one person with 2 shopping bags fit in it), and a diet of vegetables with animal innards because I can't afford boneless pork steaks, a nice roast or boneless chicken breasts....well, then it just ain't worth it, is it?

Looks like some workers in (spit!) France (spit!) are actually getting fed up enough they've done something about it and in so doing dealt a HUGE blow to their labor unions' fight to keep weekly hours to 35. In this case the (spit!) French (spit!) workers will get no increase in salary but the company told them, "you vote this down, we move out. If we move, you become unemployed."

You gotta love it!!

Something smells rotten… (updated!)

The specter of Clinton interference rears its ugly head once more. This time it deals with missing and highly classified documents allegedly taken by Clinton's ex NSA, Sandy Berger.

Let's see if I can put all this together....

Clinton has been very quiet regarding any criticism of President Bush regarding Iraq. At first I thought this was because he actually agreed with Dubya. Now I wonder if he's just out there trying to cover his ass, laying low, hoping no one will turn up the heat.

The documents go missing just before the 9-11 commission begins to meet. (HMMMM!?!?!?!?!) What is it that's missing? Just some
"drafts of a sensitive after-action report on the Clinton administration's handling of al-Qaida terror threats during the December 1999 millennium celebration."


He takes the documents and leaves,
"sticking them in his jacket and pants. He also inadvertently took copies of actual classified documents in a leather portfolio"


Meanwhile he says it was all inadvertent? Give me a fucking major league break!! This asshole was the NSA! If ANYONE knows how to handle classified documents, if anyone knows about requirements for paper trails in the movement of classified documents, if anyone knows you are not supposed to take these things at all without signing receipts---it is the NSA!!!

There is a huge mo-fo rat in this story and its name is Sandy Berger.

Oh, this one is good, too. Guess which file are missing?
"two or three copies of the highly classified millennium terror report."


WHAT THE FUCK does this asshat need with more than one copy of the same report? And stuffing them into his trousers?

Can we say, "cover-up?"

How does he explain the missing documents? He "apparently discarded" them. So now you have documents with HUGE "SECRET" or "TOP SECRET" branded across the top and bottom and he just "discarded" them? What is he, a total incompetent? (don't answer that. He worked for Clinton, That should give you all the answer you need.)

The final nail in this coffin comes from a description of the missing documents by officials investigating the case:
"The officials said the missing documents were highly classified, and included critical assessments about the Clinton administration's handling of the millennium terror threats as well as identification of America's terror vulnerabilities at airports to sea ports."


Go ahead. Re-read that last quote. Anything jump out at you? Like HIGHLY CLASSIFIED!?!?! VULNERABILITIES AT AIRPORTS!?!?!?!

But it gets better. Back when these documents were discovered missing, Berger claims to have turned them all in. Of course he did not. The FBI gets a search warrant and finds some of them in his safe!

What is this? A Clinton law office missing memo re-run? The stupid fuck does not even know to look in his own safe? If you believe that I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

This is not the first time Clinton officials were involved in security breaches. Hours before leaving office, Clinton pardoned John Deutch for having taken classified information and kept it on unsecured computers.

Any bets the media buries this story?

UPDATE: It was on page 17 of the NY Times; carried as an AP story and buried on the web version of the LA Times, and carried on page 2 of the Washington Post

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
