Hmmmmmmmmm?????

Now, THIS can turn out to be very interesting.

There was talk about Cheney stepping down in order to allow the President to appoint someone who could then run in 2008.

Will it happen?  Will Condi get the nod to be VP?  She could then get thrown a couple of tough issues to work out, showing her ability to handle domestic and foreign affairs of a Presidential nature.

Talk about a rising star if she did! 

Stanford U provost
NSA
SecState
VP
Prez

All in 9 years! And she’s 2 years younger than me.  Somehow it seemed relevant to mention that.  But surely I am not the only one who looks around and says, “Hmmm, what if I had...............?”

A New Voting Idea

This is not mine.  I believe it is Thomas Sowell’s or some other noted economist.

If the Hildabeast is able to get a law passed enabling felons to vote then a new law needs to be passed which gives the country back to those that contribute the most to it.

ALL citizens get one vote.

Those citizens who pay more than $10,000 in taxes get an extra vote per $10,000 they contribute to the treasury.

So if you earn $200,000 and pay $40,000 in taxes you get 4 votes!

Hell, why should some nitwit who can’t spell his name have the same power you have?  And why should people who pay no taxes continue to vote themselves largesse from the treasury?

Granted, the fly in the ointment are the Hollywood types who are so rich but maybe we can do something about them.

How Stupid Can One Country Be?

First these cowardly bastards get scared into kicking out their Prime Minister and electing a pacifist bastard who immediately pulls out all Spanish troops from Iraq.

Now these same people OVERWHELMINGLY approve an EU charter.

Where’s the stupidity fit in?

Look at these numbers.

42% of the local population voted.

The measure passed 77% to 17%.  Over 4 to 1.

But..................................

In a recent poll, nine out of 10 Spaniards admitted they had little idea what the EU constitution is about.

So let’s parse that. 

Assume Spain has 30 million eligible voters.  That means about 12.5 million voted.  Yet only 3 million of the total eligibles know what the hell the charter says.  The law passed with about 9.6 million people approving it.

Even if ALL the 3 million who knew what the charter says voted for it, it means 6.6 million Spaniards don’t have a fucking clue what they just did.

I rest my case about the fucking clueless/Spaniards/cowards/ etc.

So Now We’re Tulips?

Bloggers have been big news recently. 

In the meantime, conventional journalism has taken one in the ass.

But this guy seems to think we are a passing fad.

Passing, maybe, but not into history.  Passing over conventional journalism’s traditionally biased attempts to portray news into more “real” investigative journalism.

Sure, there will be bumps and bruises along the way but if we keep the heat on eventually we might even see more integrity in the MSM.

Homosexual News

Homosexual News

If I had gotten this email the first thing I’d have done was print it and move the list to my car.  Then when I got home I’d start some snooping.

Sorry, if we are to be kept getting told that AIDS is an epidemic and especially since infection carries a death sentence, the public has a right to know.  Some of you disagree but I equate this with plagues and other infectious diseases where we used to quarantine people.  No need for quarantine here since it is not airborne but we should know who’s who and what’s what.

A local CDC weenie said this:

“I wish we could say that the stigma attached to HIV/AIDS has faded and disclosing that someone is affected would be the same as any other communicable disease, but that is not the case.”

Hey, pal, maybe people wouldn’t be so afraid if we knew who had it and then we could choose to associate on an intimate level with that person or work with them where the environment risked the sharing of bodily fluids (fire department, police, hospitals, clinics, dentist’s offices, etc.)

What happens when the law of unintended consequences slaps a lesbian upside the head?

She gets nailed for child support!!

Good!

If homosexuals are so going to demand the rights and privileges of “couple-dom” then this is one of the consequences.

You gotta wonder about the guy who married her ex-partner, though!  I sure would like to see pictures of what they looked like.  My self-generated mental image is not flattering.

Hey, there big boy!  The Navy’s looking for a few good men!  It gets lonely on those long ocean voyages!

I Want One!

I know they are illegal but if enough people get them and use them, soon enough an effect might be had and these numbnutted chatterboxes would shut the fuck up.  I get so damned tired of hearing the same shit:

“Hi Honey, I’m leaving the driveway.”

“Dear, I’m in the supermarket.  What was it you wanted?  I have the short term memory of a gnat and can’t remember.”

“Hi!  The plane just landed....I’m in the terminal......I’m getting my luggage.......I’m going to the shuttle.”

I want these scramblers as small as a garage door opener so I can go around making these asshole’s lives miserable.

Oh, yeah, there might be some serious conversations going on but I look at it this way...."what the hell did we do before we had cell phones?”

About the only time I can say it is OK to use a cell phone while driving is if you are being pursued by criminals and need help or there is a medical emergency.  In restaurants, theaters, stores, etc. turn the god damned things off!

P.S.  You know what’s fun?  When someone gets a call in a public place, you stop and stare at them, pretending to listen.  They get upset but can’t do anything about it.  It IS, after all, a public place!

The UN Back In The News

Before I begin discussing the criminal actions of those 2 monkeys, Kofi and Kojo, and their minions in the UN I thought I’d share with you something from an email I got from a reader late last week.  He says that in the Hebrew language the “Kof” in Kofi Annan means......

are you ready for this?

I’ve been saying it all along.....................

MONKEY!!!

Thanks, Iacobus!

Now, let’s go.

In news that surprises none of us here at BMEWS we find that those oh-so-helpful UN inspectors in Iraq spent most of their days drinking.

Well!  No wonder they couldn’t find weapons of mass destruction.  Or mass murder sites.  Or nuclear labs.  Or bio labs.  Or torture chambers.  Or people dying of hunger and lack of medical care.

They were all soused to the gills!

Here’s an excerpt that explains why they did not work and what they did not do plus what they witnessed: (emphasis mine)

“They were friends or relatives of potential clients, and are only in the mission so the company could secure future contracts in Nigeria, Comoros and another African country.

“When I said that this was unfair on everyone else, I was told that it was general practice in Cotecna.”

Other inspectors had spent most of the day in hotel rooms while others drank beer and talked to the local people.

Inspectors were supposed to check lorries to make sure the UN sanctions regime was being enforced.

At another monitoring site where the UN was supposed to check humanitarian aid supplies, Mr. Ventham noticed “the team leader and his fellow countrymen [the nationality is unstated] spending the majority of their time in each other’s rooms drinking vodka as opposed to managing and leading the team”.

There he noticed small vessels and barges moving to a small island each night.

“I mentioned this to a number of other inspectors saying there was plenty of scope for smuggling and what were the UN doing about it.

“I was extremely surprised by the response that it was common knowledge smuggling was going on at Um Qasir [and that] the oil was being sold on the black market to augment the regime.”

What I want to know now is who this guy told all this too and who that son of a bitch’s job was and why they are not being prosecuted for the deaths of tens of thousands of Iraqis.

In good news for those of us who loathe the UN, new surveys find the percentage of people who want Monkey-boy out of power in the UN up 7 points, from 56 to 63%.

The sooner the better.

Slipping Down Another Slippery Slope

Yesterday I ranted about the Hildabeast and the motives behind some of her actions.  One of those would be to grant felons the right to vote.

We all know this is tantamount to giving criminals (the foxes) the run of the henhouse (government.) Felons are called “cons” for a reason.  They will con you with their glib talk about reform and when you are not looking either rob, kill, or maim you.

A few years ago some states came up with a 1-2-3-Life campaign that imprisoned cons for life if it was their third conviction.  All of a sudden crime started going down and liberals could not figure out why.  Maybe it was because they were screaming so much about those “poor cons” in overcrowded jails and spending so much time defending them that they couldn’t see the forest for the trees.

Now we have moonbats like these assholes who will grade a murderer on his “level of depravity.”

“Level of depravity??????”

What the FUCK!?!?  We need psycologists and psychiatrists in courtrooms now to tell us what is sick, demented, depraved, or evil?

Have I left the planet I knew and been transported to some alternative universe where people are imbeciles?

What’s next, start convicting criminals on “intent?” Give them time served for good intentions while in jail?

If none of you can see how this is a step towards the possible elimination of the death penalty then I know of no eye surgeon that can help you.

Think about it.  Someone kills someone else.  In the past if he was convicted of it in the first degree, chances are he’d get the chair/gas/rope/needle.  Now you have to measure “depravity.” In other words, if it is not depraved enough, he won’t die for it?

This is like that stupid “hate crimes” legislation.  If I hate Jews and kill one of them, will my death sentence (under existing guidelines) be more “deadly” because I killed with hate in my heart?

How fucking stupid.

News Flash!

Hunter S. Thompson 1937 - 2005 ASPEN, Colo. - Hunter S. Thompson, the acerbic counterculture writer who popularized a new form of journalism in books like “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” fatally shot himself Sunday night at his Aspen-area home, his son said. He was 67. “Hunter prized his privacy and we ask that his friends and admirers respect that privacy as well as that of his family,” Juan Thompson said in a statement released to the Aspen Daily News. Pitkin County Sheriff Bob Braudis, a personal friend of Thompson, confirmed the death to the News. Sheriff’s officials did not return calls to The Associated Press late Sunday. Click here for background on Hunter S. Thompson & “gonzo journalism”.

Godfather Of The Blogosphere In a sense, what we do here as bloggers qualifies as “gonzo journalism”. Here is how Hunter S. Thompson described this type of writing, “I don’t get any satisfaction out of the old traditional journalist’s view - I just covered the story. I just gave it a balanced view”. A few examples of gonzo journalists are George Plimpton and P.J. O’Rourke, both favorites of mine. Bloggers on the internet, for the most part, are merely electronic extensions of gonzo journalism. We cover news stories and try to give it a balanced view by interjecting our own feelings and sometimes our personalities into the stories. We don’t try to hide our opinions and overall it makes for a more robust coverage of daily events than the MSM can ever provide, hiddden away in their ivory towers in New York and Los Angeles. That is why I feel that Hunter Thompson is really the Godfather of the Blogosphere. It doesn’t get any weirder than this. I regret that Hunter Thompson felt the need to take his life. He has left a measurable heritage behind though. Stay tuned. “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.” -- Hunter S. Thompson

Barking Moonbat Of The Week

Congressman Blames RatherGate On Rove Conspiracy Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) Gave the following speech at a community forum in Ithaca, New York, on Saturday, February 19 from 1:00 to 3:00pm at Ithaca Town Hall. In it, he blames Karl Rove for the “Rathergate” scandal, claiming Rove created the forged documents used in the discredited CBS report about George Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard. The exact transcript below was taken directly from the recording of the speech made by a member of the audience ....

Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY): Well, you know, they are manipulating the media, they did it in the very beginning through intimidation. They would intimidate the people in the, uh, in the press conference. And ... they would ask—they would allow questions to be asked only of people that they knew were going to ask the right kind of questions, from their point of view. And, you know, that has its effect, had, had its effect on people. People have been—people in the media have been intimidated. The media has changed in the last four years. People have changed in the last four years. They’ve had a very very direct, aggressive attack on the, on the media, and the way it’s handled. Probably the most flagrant example of that is the way they set up Dan Rather. Now, I mean, I have my own beliefs about how that happened: it originated with Karl Rove, in my belief, in the White House. They set that up with those false papers. Why did they do it? They knew that Bush was a draft dodger. They knew that he had run away from his responsibilties in the Air National Guard in Texas, gone out of the state intentionally for a long period of time. They knew that he had no defense for that period in his life. And so what they did was, expecting that that was going to come up, they accentuated it: they produced papers that made it look even worse. And they—and they distributed those out to elements of the media. And it was only—what, like was it CBS? Or whatever, whatever which one Rather works for. They—the people there—they finally bought into it, and they, and they aired it. And when they did, they had ‘em. They didn’t care who did it! All they had to do is to get some element of the media to advance that issue. Based upon the false papers that they produced.

Audience Member: Do you have any evidence for that?

Congressman Hinchey: Yes I do. Once they did that --

Audience: [Murmuring]

Congressman Hinchey: ...once they did that, then it undermined everything else about Bush’s draft dodging. Once they were able to say, ‘This is false! These papers are not accurate, they’re, they’re, they’re false, they’ve been falsified.’ That had the effect of taking the whole issue away.

Audience Member: So you have evidence that the papers came from the Bush administration?

Congressman Hinchey: No. I—that’s my belief.

Audience Member: OK.

Congressman Hinchey: And I said that. In the very beginning. I said, ‘It’s my belief that those papers, and that setup, originated with Karl Rove and the White House.’

Audience Member: Don’t you think it’s irresponsible to make charges like that?

Congressman Hinchey: No I don’t. I think it’s very important to make charges like that. I think it’s very important to combat this kind of activity in every way that you can. And I’m willing—and most people are not—to step forward in situations like this and take risks.

Audience: [Clapping and cheering.]

Congressman Hinchey: I consider that to be part of my job, and I’m gonna continue to do it.

Final Jeopardy

OldCatMan’s quizzes are just too damned easy. Try this one on for size. You can’t live in a red state unless you know your Country-Western stars. If you can’t match at least 70% of the pictures with their names, then you need to move your ass to San Francisco. Hint: Neither the Skipper or Gilligan are in this one ....
