Mental Illness

• Why does the US media keep leaning Left, attacking the duly-elected government, bashing the United States and making complete asses out of themselves and .... losing the confidence of the American people and watching viewers and subscribers run away?


• Why do Hollywood “activitsts” and musicians keep attacking the President, using vulgar language to describe him, supporting every communist or socialist idea that comes along and .... turning off their fans and watching movie and record revenues fall?


• Why do Democrats persist in nominating Leftists and Socialists, pursuing a socialist agenda, obstructing the conservatives in government, sucking up to international interests and .... losing every election, time and time again and watching the American people vote Republican?

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
-- Albert Einstein

In a related news story, Senator Jim Jeffords (I-VT) will soon be replaced by a card-carrying, self-avowed Socialist - who has already been endorsed by DNC Chairman Howard Dean. Some people never learn and some political partys just can’t seem to understand why shooting themselves in the foot keeps hurting.

Grrrrr

Question: What do you get when you combine the New York Times, a French “special representative of the UN” and a 2,000 page report on Afghanistan published by the US Army?

Answer: Another reason to nuke France, burn the UN building to the ground and blow up the NY Times offices.

KABUL (Reuters) - A report of U.S. military abuse of detainees in Afghanistan is deeply disturbing and those involved should be punished, the United Nations said on Sunday.

The abuse, including details of the deaths of two inmates at an Afghan detention center, took place in 2002 and emerged from a nearly 2,000-page file of U.S. Army investigators, The New York Times said on Friday.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai, speaking before leaving on a U.S. trip, said on Saturday he was shocked and was demanding action against the culprits as well as custody of Afghan prisoners and supervision of U.S. military searches.

Jean Arnault, special representative of the U.N. secretary-general in Afghanistan, said the abuse reported in the New York Times was unacceptable and an affront to everything the international community stood for.

“The gravity of these abuses calls for the punishment of all those involved in such inexcusable crimes, as demanded by President Karzai,” Arnault said in a statement.

Arnault said steps taken since 2002 to eradicate mistreatment and improve conditions should be made public. Complaints that continue to be made of arbitrary arrest and detention without charge should be fully addressed, he said.

Ponderances …

• 1.  Why is it that so often it seems that the outstanding quality of a person, institution, or concept is both its greatest strength and its greatest weakness? .... things like a person’s sense of compassion or society’s liberalism or democracy’s freedom?
• 2.  Do you think we are moving toward the future depicted in the novel 1984?
• 3.  Do you believe that the ultimate end of any advanced civilization is its own self - destruction?
• 4.  What is art?
• 5.  What is your favorite quotation?

Papal Election Update

Ratzinger not the First Choice

As I understand it, Cardinal Ratzinger was not the College of Cardinals first choice. It was, interestingly, Cardinal Hans Grapje. Grapje, born of an American father and Dutch mother, was raised in a Catholic school in The Hague and, as a young man, aspired to become a priest. Due to the outbreak of WWII, he was drafted into the American Army Air Corps and spent two years co-piloting B17s until his aircraft was shot down in 1943 and he lost his left arm. Captain Grapje spent the rest of the war as a lay leader in a POW camp, giving spiritual aid to soldiers, both Allied and enemy.

After the war, he became a priest, serving as a missionary in Africa, piloting his own plane (in spite of his handicap) to villages across the continent. In 1997, Father Grapje was serving in Zimbabwe when an explosion in a silver mine caused a cave-in.

Archbishop Grapje went down into the mine to administer last rights to those too severely injured to move. Another shaft collapsed, and he was buried for three days, suffering multiple injuries, including the loss of his right eye. The high silver content in the mine’s air gave him purpura, a life-long condition characterized by purplish skin blotches.

Although Cardinal Grapje devoted his life to the service of God as a scholar, mentor, and holy man, church leaders felt that he should never ascend to the Papacy.

They felt that the Church would never accept a one-eyed, one-armed, flying purple Papal leader.

Thanks Robert…

Armed Forces Day is celebrated annually on the third Saturday of May. Armed Forces Week begins on the second Saturday of May and ends on the third Sunday of May, the day after Armed Forces Day.

“It is fitting and proper that we devote one day each year to paying special tribute to those whose constancy and courage constitute one of the bulwarks guarding the freedom of this nation and the peace of the free world.”

-- President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Most Ridiculous Item Of The Day

Gay Israeli artists seek Arabs to fall in love with ....

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Two gay Israeli men have installed a huge double bed in a New York art gallery and are inviting Arab men to become their “lover” as part of an exhibition called “Sleeping with the Enemy.”

But the artists who like to be known simply as Gil and Moti talk about the project in romantic terms, saying it’s about “falling in love” rather than sex. Gil said visitors should not come to the show expecting to see pornography.

“The bed is there for us to live in. Artistically there are three pillows to symbolize unity of three people which goes along with the whole concept of make love not war,” he said.

“We try to actually open up a dialogue and debate which is about more important issues than just sexual matters and if there’s sex, OK, but it’s not something we’re interested in discussing,” Gil said.

The sales pitch for the show in which the two live and work in the gallery surrounded by their art reads: “Israeli artists Gil and Moti are gay, married and in love. For 5 weeks, they court an Arab lover.”

Since late 2002 they have made contact online with as many as 300 Arab men from across the Middle East. They typically send a message through a dating site asking if they can paint a picture from the man’s photo and explaining who they are.

They then scan and e-mail the painting as a means of “seduction” and hopefully start a dialogue and meet, Gil said.

The gallery called Jack the Pelican, in Brooklyn, is displaying over 100 of the watercolors, priced at $700-$900, along with some transcripts of e-mail exchanges, photos and oil paintings and the bed.

“We felt frustrated with the political situation in the Middle East,” said Gil. “As Israelis, we grew up with Arabs but we were encouraged by the education system to hate and abuse them so we thought we must do something about it.”

“So we decided to fall in love with one of them.”

Saturday Humor

Marriage Converstaion

A man walks into the bedroom with a sheep under his arm while his wife is lying in bed reading.

Man says: “This is the pig I have sex with when you’ve got a headache.”

Wife replies: “I think you’ll find that is a sheep.”

Man replies: “I think you’ll find I was talking to the sheep.”

Once upon a time a guy asked a girl: “Will you marry me?”

She said “No.”

And the guy lived happily ever after.

“I just can’t understand all this stuff in psychology class about ‘penis envy’.” the coed told her roommate.

“Well… it’s an old theory, from long ago. I’ve never held much stock in it myself.” the roommate replied.

“Yeah !  I mean… and besides… there are so many guys right here on campus more than willing to share theirs.”

Approaching the counter at a local post office, I said to the stern faced woman on the other said, “Are you the Postmistress ?”

“No !” she replied testily. “I’m the Postmaster. Uncle Sam don’t pay me enough to be anyone’s mistress.”

An elderly man was walking down the street when he saw a frog. The frog said, “Old man, if you kiss me, I’ll turn into a beautiful princess, I’ll be yours forever, and we can make passionate love every night.” The man put the frog in his pocket and continued walking.

The frog said, “Hey, I don’t think you heard me, I said if you kiss me I’ll turn into a beautiful princess and we can make wild passionate love every night.”

The man took the frog out of his pocket and said “I heard ya, but at my age, I’d rather have a talking frog.”

There is no such thing as an ugly woman;
Only too little whiskey

Rattlesnake …

. 

.  Rattlesnakes only make that buzzing sound on TV. The sound they REALLY make is an almost electronic buzz. A buzz that can be heard from some distance. Maybe a quarter mile. Their noise and its propagation all have to do with frequency of rattle.

.  Trust me on this. A rattlesnake that is buzzing can be heard and the hearing is almost intrinsically frightening from far away.

.  I had a dog once. He was an Alsacian. From the hound family and France. The French Alps. His name was Bernie.

.  Bernie looked like a very big white German Shepherd. VERY BIG. He weighed 170lbs. And he was mature when I had the pleasure of making his acquaintance.

.  At the time, we were living in the northwest hills of Tucson. Closest neighbor was 100 yards away. Plenty of space between us and them.

.  It was rural enough that Bernie could run free. Chase the coyotes. Dodge the cactus. Free.

.  One night when Bernie was out making the rounds ... and my girlfriend at the time and I were sitting around watching TV ... a rattlesnake started up.

.  I mean to tell you that ‘buzz’ was full strength. Real loud. Loud enough that my companion got up to see if she could see the snake.

.  She didn’t have to go far.

.  It was coiled on the front step ... just buzzing away.

.  She went nuts. OMG Bernie is out THERE and when he comes home he will get snakebit.

.  She was screaming about it, She was insane about it.

.  WHAT was I going to DO about it?

.  Screaming all the while I was looking through the front door window at that snake coiled on the step.

.  I told her to STFU so I could think.

.  She didn’t. She got louder. The snake got louder. The situation got more intense as each second passed.

.  I had already caught a few in the house. No big deal really. A broom or a quick hand dispatched them out of the house and far away.

.  But this was different. THAT snake was between Bernie and his home. THAT snake was VERY unhappy.

.  First thing I did was drag that woman into the bathroom and block the door closed.

.  No way could I think with her screaming about Bernie.

.  Next thing I did was ...

Patience My Friends.

Good Morning Fellow Citizens.

There have been several of you who have stopped by annoying little twerp to comment on the new look and to complain that I haven’t posted something in a few days.

Patience my friends.

I’m not a great writer and it takes a while for me to put things into “verse”.

That said-I have two SCATHING posts in the works.
I think they’ll be worth the wait.

U2Warrior and I are bumming around-probably going to the mall ‘cause we’re broke and that’s where we ALWAYS end up-but when we get back I’ll throw the husband of the computer and get to work.

Trust me-though not Pulitzer prize winning-it should be worth it.

Barking Moonbat Of The Week

he committee has reached a unanimous decision this week and the award goes to George Galloway, the looney, liberal Limey with a bad attitude and a complete lack of intelligence, much less any sort of ethics, having buddied up to Saddam Hussein and making a killing off of the Oil For Food scandal. For those reasons alone, he became the darling of the Euro-Peons last week when he made a complete ass of himself before Congress. Mr. Galloway has now been officially “fingered”.

Epigrams Against The Earl Of Galloway

What dost thou in that mansion fair?
Flit, Galloway, and find
Some narrow, dirty, dungeon cave,
The picture of thy mind.

No Stewart art thou, Galloway,
The Stewarts ‘ll were brave;
Besides, the Stewarts were but fools,
Not one of them a knave.

Bright ran thy line, O Galloway,
Thro’ many a far-fam’d sire!
So ran the far-famed Roman way,
And ended in a mire.

Spare me thy vengeance, Galloway!
In quiet let me live:
I ask no kindness at thy hand,
For thou hast none to give.

Lawsuit!

Saddam Hussein, speaking through his “mouthpiece”, says he is going to sue The Sun for publishing pictures of him in his skivvies. In a related story, I plan to sue The Sun for exposing my naked, unprotected eyes to Saddam’s shit-stained BVD’s. I’m also going to sue Steel for posting it here earlier today .... and I’m going to sue Kodak for making the cheap-ass camera used to take the pictures. Get me my lawyer on the phone right now .... there’s a finger in my blog ....

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar.

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
