Top Ten Reasons Why Men Prefer Guns Over Women

#10. You can trade an old 44 for a new 22.

#9. You can keep one gun at home and have another for when you’re on the road.

#8. If you admire a friend’s gun and tell him so, he will probably let you try it out a few times.

#7. Your primary gun doesn’t mind if you keep another gun for a backup.

#6. Your gun will stay with you even if you run out of ammo.

#5. A gun doesn’t take up a lot of closet space.

#4. Guns function normally every day of the month.

#1. YOU CAN BUY A SILENCER FOR A GUN

Naked Sex Banned

What will the whacky “Religion Of Peas” think of next? I’m sorry you asked. Now, it seems the Imams have declared that married Muslims shall not anjoy sex unless full clothed. Otherwise the marriage is annulled. Somehow I don’t think the idea of having sex with a woman wearing a burkha and me wearing a suit is very appealing. Then again, this might be an excellent method of birth control. Never mind ....

Nudity Invalidates Marriage
(AFP)

An Egyptian cleric’s controversial fatwa claiming that nudity during sexual intercourse invalidates a marriage has uncovered a rift among Islamic scholars. According to the religious edict issued by Rashad Hassan Khalil, a former dean of Al-Azhar University’s faculty of Sharia (or Islamic law), “being completely naked during the act of coitus annuls the marriage”.

The religious decree sparked a hot debate on the private satellite network Dream’s popular religious talk show and on the front page of today’s Al-Masri Al-Yom, Egypt’s leading independent daily newspaper.

Suad Saleh, who heads the women’s department of Al-Azhar’s Islamic studies faculty, pleaded for “anything that can bring spouses closer to each other” and rejected the claim that nudity during intercourse could invalidate a union. During the live televised debate, Islamic scholar Abdel Muti dismissed the fatwa: “Nothing is prohibited during marital sex, except of course sodomy.”

TV Mummy

I can’t think of a more gruesome death. To die and have to spend eternity staring at one episode of Jerry Springer after another. Luckily, the authorities found this poor woman after only 2½ years ....

Woman Who Died in ‘03 Left in Front of TV
January 10, 2006, 5:14 AM EST
CINCINNATI (AP)

The mummified body of a woman who didn’t want to be buried was found in a chair in front of her television set 2 1/2 years after her death, authorities said. Johannas Pope had told her live-in caregiver that she didn’t want to be buried and planned on returning after she died, Hamilton County Coroner O’Dell Owens said Monday.

Pope died in August 2003 at age 61. Her body was found last week in the upstairs of her home on a quiet street. Some family members continued to live downstairs, authorities said. No one answered the doorbell at Pope’s home Monday afternoon. It could take weeks to determine Pope’s cause of death because little organ tissue was available for testing, Owens said.

An air conditioner had been left running upstairs, and that allowed the body to slowly mummify, he said. The machine apparently stopped working about a month ago, and the body began to smell. “Standing outside, one could smell death,” Owens said. Police went to the house last Wednesday after receiving a call from a relative who hadn’t seen Pope in years. They found a staircase behind a door blocked by a basket and climbed to the second floor, where they found the body.

It was not clear if any crimes were committed, Owens said. Authorities did not identify the caregiver, a women in her 40s who apparently lived in the home with Pope, Pope’s daughter and her 3-year-old granddaughter. “The caregiver is not someone you’d think was from another planet or really seems off the wall—(she’s) a pretty normal kind of person,” he said. “But I think out of loyalty, friendship and love of her friend, (she) decided to keep the body at home.”

Glowball Warming Hits India

This glowball warming thing is starting to get out of hand. India is recording the lowest temperatures in seventy years. What next? Snow in Jamaica? That should be a big help to their Olympic bobsled team ...

Deaths Due to Northern Indian Cold Snap Rise to 160

A bitter cold spell in northern India has claimed six more lives to take the countrywide toll to 160, officials said, as doctors warn that survivors of a Japanese encephalitis outbreak are particularly at risk. The new deaths were reported from India’s most populous Uttar Pradesh state where 124 people—mostly homeless—have died due to the freezing conditions, according to a tally based on figures released by police in the provincial capital Lucknow.

The bitter cold has been unrelenting in other parts of northern India as well. “Many parts of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh continue to be in the grip of a cold wave to severe cold wave conditions. They have extended eastwards into parts of Bihar,” the weather office in New Delhi said Tuesday. Srinagar, capital of Indian Kashmir, recorded minus three degrees Celsius (26.6 degrees Fahrenheit) Tuesday, while the northern Sikh pilgrimage city of Amritsar recorded zero degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit).

A doctor in Uri, one of the towns in Indian Kashmir worst hit by a devastating earthquake three months ago, warned that survivors living in makeshift shelters are showing signs of hypothermia and frostbite. New Delhi recorded its lowest temperature in 70 years on Sunday with the mercury at 0.2 degrees Celsius (32.36 Fahrenheit).

The mercury fluctuated between minus four degrees Celsius and two degrees Celsius in other parts of northern India this week, said a meteorological department official in New Delhi. The bitter cold forced authorities to shut primary schools for a few days across the region.

Demands?

Mexico Demands U.S. Allow More Immigration

MEXICO CITY

Diplomats from Mexico and Central America on Monday demanded guest worker programs and the legalization of undocumented migrants in the United States, while criticizing a U.S. proposal for tougher border enforcement.

Meeting in Mexico’s capital, the regional officials pledged to do more to fight migrant trafficking, but indirectly condemned a U.S. bill that would make illegal entry a felony and extend border walls.

“Migrants, regardless of their migratory status, should not be treated like criminals,” they said

I am absolutely speachless.  Another country is demanding that we disregard our own laws so their people can come in scott-free?  Of course they should be treated like criminals.  they ARE criminals for crissakes.

Barking Moonbat Award

Harry Belafonte went to Venezuela on Saturday, along with Danny Glover and several other Commie friends, and had this to say ...

imageimage“No matter what the greatest tyrant in the world, the greatest terrorist in the world, George W. Bush says, we’re here to tell you: Not hundreds, not thousands, but millions of the American people ... support your revolution”

-- Singer Harry Belafonte, speaking to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez

I realize it’s still early in the week to hand out this award but I seriously doubt anyone can top Mr. Belafonte for utter stupidity this week.

Confuse A Liberal With The Facts

Deroy Murdock, Media Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University has assembled a sizeable amount of evidence against Saddam Hussein. Not that it will make a damn bit of difference to Liberals/Democrats. They still believe “Old Sodomy” is a great fellow and George Bush is a fascist criminal. Go read it and make note of all the points Mr. Murdock makes. Then invite a Liberal out to lunch and start throwing facts at him or her. Liberals hate facts. Watch your lunch date sweat and squirm and try to slither away from the truth. Now that’s entertainment ... !

Deranged Democrats

Memo To Senator Kennedy: Sure. Go ahead and start impeachment proceedings. While we’re at it, let’s go ahead and re-open the investigation into the murder of Mary Jo Kopechne, among other things. Let’s get all things cleared up once and for all, you bloviating blimp!

imageimageTed Kennedy, Russ Feingold Discuss Impeachment
(NEWSMAX)

Two leading Senate Democrats declined on Sunday to rule out the possibility that President Bush could be impeached over his decision to wiretap terrorists who make phone calls to the U.S. Asked about Rep. John Lewis’ complaint that the Bush surveillance program could be an impeachable offense, Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) told ABC’s “This Week”: “I’m concerned about the abuses of executive power in the areas of torture and the areas of spying - and about how we’re treating individuals in terms of the court systems.”

The Massachusetts Democrat said he agreed with Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, whom he quoted as saying: “We’re at war but war is not a blank check to a president to override the rights and liberties of the Constitution.” “I don’t believe that this president understands that,” Kennedy added. In separate comments covered by the Vermont Guardian, Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) told reporters that there needs to be “an orderly and dignified” investigation into the Bush surveillance program.

“If there was a legal violation there needs to be accountability,” he said. “You can’t put the cart before the horse, but I would not rule out any form of accountability.” That would include impeachment, Feingold reportedly added. Asked by a supporter whether there was a way citizens could impeach Bush “here and now,” the Wisconsin Democrat replied: “I’m not going to prejudge what that accountability should be.”

Shoot Me, Sue You

Let’s see ... what have we got here? A deranged lunatic female who is bipolar and diagnosed as paranoid-schizophrenic gets in a fight with her family, threatens her brother with a loaded gun. Brother calls police. Female leads police on 110-mph high speed chase before crashing car. Female then shoots at police who respond in kind. Female goes to hospital with several bullet holes in her stupid butt. Police find 400 rounds of ammo in female’s car. Female is charged with two counts of attempted murder, fleeing police and assault with a dangerous weapon, among other offenses. Stupid judge finds her innocent on grounds of insanity. Female then hires shyster lawyer and sues police.

Talk about your story that has everything ... and it’s all so wrong. Terrribly wrong ...

Woman In High-Speed Chase Sues Police For Shooting Her
WARREN, Michigan (MACOMB DAILY)

A woman who was left a paraplegic after being shot several times by Warren police in the moments following a high-speed car chase has accused officers of using excessive force in a lawsuit filed in Macomb County Circuit Court. Carmen Mattera recently sued the city of Warren and police officers Paul Houtos, Kenneth Marsee, Richard James Schnur and Greg Booten for the Jan. 4, 2003, shooting incident on Interstate 696 near the Oakland-Macomb counties border. She claims violations of her constitutional right to due process, equal protection, and to enjoy life and liberty.

“Why did they fill her car with bullets?” her attorney, Ira Saperstein, told The Macomb Daily. “Why were they shooting at her 30 or 40 times? They have her car surrounded. She can’t go anywhere. “The police instigated this attack on her. This case will be about what constitutes excessive force.” Warren Police Chief Danny Clark declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Mattera, 45, a Warren native who had been living in Roseville, was charged with two counts of attempted murder, fleeing police and assault with a dangerous weapon, among other offenses. She was found “not guilty by reason of insanity” about 10 months later following a 1-day bench trial in front of Macomb County Circuit Judge Donald Miller.

“Ms. Mattera was substantially incapable of appreciating the nature, quality and wrongfulness of her actions as well as conforming her behavior to the requirements of the law,” George Watson, a forensic psychologist for the state Center for Forensic Psychiatry, says in a report, according to court records. Watson says Mattera, who graduated from Warren Mott High School in 1978 and had attended Oakland Community College, had an average level of intellectual ability.

Avoiding jail or prison time, she currently is living in an adult foster care facility “on the west side of the state,” Saperstein said. “She’s disabled for life; she’s still a young woman,” Saperstein said.

The incident began as a family dispute regarding her parents that went from her to her brother’s residence on Martin Road in Roseville. Her brother, nine years older than her, called police, saying that his sister had pointed a gun at him and had fled in a Chevy Malibu. Mattera refused to stop for police on Gratiot Avenue, speeding away at speeds up to 110 mph first on westbound I-696 then on eastbound I-696, where Madison Heights police used “stop sticks” to puncture the tires of her car and caused it to crash into a freeway wall.

Officers Houtos and Marsee said they fired their guns in response to seeing smoke or a fire flash coming from the end of the barrel of the .38-caliber handgun being held by Mattera in the car. Schnur testified in a 37th District Court hearing that he approached the vehicle to find a bleeding Mattera lying across the front seat with a revolver in her hand.

“She turned her head in my direction and raised the gun directly at me,” Schnur testified. He yelled to fellow officers that she had a gun, and he fired “three or four” rounds in her direction as he retreated. More than 400 rounds of ammunition for her handgun were found in her car. Mattera told the psychologist that she had kept all of her belongings in her car because she had been transient. Saperstein said that he can show that Mattera did not fire her gun first, and even if she did, the police officers’ response was excessive.

Too Much Free Time

Wars, Hurricanes, Tsunamis, AIDS, Terrorists, Famine, Wild Fires, Nuclear Bombs, Democrats .... all the evil things in the world today are going on right around us every minute. Yet some people have enough free time (and detachment from reality) to spend years practicing and learning how to impersonate a rock and roll singer who died nearly thirty years ago?

Now, before the crowd around Graceland gets their panties in a wad let me state categorically that I always liked Elvis and his music. He was the King of rock and roll. However, the operative word here is “was”. He’s dead. Gone. Tango-Umbrella. Get over it. And while you’re at it, please, PLEASE tell these guys to get real jobs. OK? Or better yet, just ask them to stay in Europe. That way we can get revenge on Europe for dragging us into two world wars last century ... ‘cause they ain’t nothing but a bunch of hound dawgs ...

imageimageEuropean Elvis Convention
BLACKPOOL, UK (TELEGRAPH-UK)

Paul Martin used to stick his sideburns on with Evostick and Velcro before graduating to the real thing. “It gave me an instant facelift,” he says. Now he wears two permanent furry slabs on his face, dyed, like his carefully-coiffed hair, a strange shade of bluey black.

Nearby, in the darkened bar of the Queen’s Hotel, Blackpool, are other men dressed like him in tight white, rhinestone-studded jumpsuits and equipped with the same strange facial furniture. They sit or stand in huddled groups, drinking Boddington’s and smoking Embassy No 1.

When his turn comes, each man mounts the small stage in the corner and strikes his opening pose. The pre-recorded music starts and he is no longer in a hotel in tacky Blackpool in January 2006 but standing in front of an audience of hundreds at Caesar’s Palace circa 1971. He is no longer Dave or Mike or Melvyn, but Elvis, the King at the height of his powers.

Elvis, Elvis, Elvis. Everywhere in the hotel over the weekend there was an Elvis: in the lift, in the car park, in the lavatory. There were Elvises rehearsing in the lobby and Elvises sitting with their wives and children in the lounge watching Elvis in Blue Hawaii. There were even Elvises taking a stroll outside on the forlorn Golden Mile, cold, deserted, terminally out of season.

Some 50 contestants from Britain, Norway, Poland, the Czech Republic and Israel attended the European Elvis Convention 2006, the aim of which was to find the most convincing Elvis impersonator.

Except that you must never refer to them as Elvis impersonators; they are Elvis Tribute Acts, or ETAs. Most are lovely, a few rather vain and some unhinged. You can tell the ones who are bonkers by the fact that they remain in character even after finishing the act.

Heats to select the 15 finalists began last Thursday. For hour after hour they performed, uh-uh-ing into the microphone, striking poses, curling their lips and sweating profusely. Many make a good living from being Elvis, singing Are You Lonesome Tonight? at weddings, anniversaries and corporate events. Others are rubbish.

- Whole lot of shaking going on in the rest of this story ...

Victory At Sea, Part IV

image


SPURLOS VERSENKT: OPERATION PAUKENSCHLAG

About 2200 hours on 14 JAN 1942, Type IX U-boat U-123, under Kapitänleutnant Reinhard Hardegen, crept toward New York Harbor.  On the surface. The Ambrose Channel lightship had been temporarily removed to Cape Cod, but Hardegen knew its former location and was quickly able to orient himself.  There was the low, thin peninsula of Sandy Hook to port, and there was Rockaway Beach, visible as a necklace of lights right ahead.

”The sky at 330 degrees was ablaze from the incandescence of Manhattan and its neighbor boroughs.  The huge silver scrim thrown up by a million lights dazzled the waning moon.  Though from where they stood Hardegen and the forward bridge watch could not see any of the city’s tall buildings—their boat was well below the Narrows—they sensed the presence of the skyscrapers and neon-splendored avenues.  Having seen the city once up close, Hardegen could appreciate better than anyone else on board the feat that they had just accomplished:  they were an enemy force on the very front doorstep of the greatest city in the world.”
--Michael Gannon, Operation Drumbeat

Didn’t the Americans know a war was on?

”The defending forces!  They were virtually nonexistent.  In spite of the British experiences; in spite of ample warning of what might happen…in spite of intelligence intercepts warning of the movements of the Paukenschlag boats, the United States Navy was caught completely unprepared.  U-boat skippers could hardly believe it.  Ships were fully lighted.  They chattered on their radios.  Lighthouses and buoys gave out their navigational information after dark just as usual.  It was, as the Germans called it themselves, U-boat paradise.

“To protect ships in the area of his responsibility from the St. Lawrence River down to Cape Hatteras, some 280,000 square miles of ocean, Vice Admiral Adolphus Andrews had a total of twelve surface vessels—four small yard patrol craft, four sub-chasers, one Coast Guard cutter, and three Eagle boats dating back to World War I…..”

--Capt. Henry H. Adams USNR, 1942:  The Year that Doomed the Axis

Finding no targets, Hardegen retraced his course, still slipping along on the surface, hardly able to believe his luck.  Surely there were USN units around somewhere!  But none appeared, and in fact, the east-west approach channel was empty of all large vessels.  What happened?  Did the USN or the Port Authority divert traffic to other ports?

West Side Story

Whenever I see the words “gang of sharks” my mind instantly pictures the Jets vs. the Sharks in West Side Story. Then when I realize they’re not talking about dancing, singing street gangs (?) but instead are talking about real, live shark critters ganging up on swimmers and chomping them to pieces ... well, my inner philosopher thinks living in St. Louis is a great idea since it is roughly a thousand miles from any ocean. A further odd twist to this story is that it happened at Amity Beach ... in Australia. I wonder if Chief Brodey is available for a little fishing expedition down under ... ?

imageimageGang of Sharks Kills Australian
BRISBANE (BBC)

An Australian woman from Brisbane has been killed in a shark attack at a popular beach near the city. Ambulance workers said the 21-year-old suffered extensive injuries, losing both arms below the elbow and sustaining deep wounds to her leg. Police suspect that several sharks carried out the attack, which happened on North Stradbroke Island.

The victim was thought to have been swimming in shallow water with a local church group when she was attacked. Friends carried Sarah Kate Whiley from the water and she was quickly flown to hospital by helicopter. However, she had lost large amounts of blood and had gone into shock. She died later in hospital.

The attack happened at Amity Point, which shares a name with the fictional setting for the film Jaws. Police believe three bull sharks could have attacked the young woman, and have launched a large-scale hunt in local waters. Bull sharks are notorious for being aggressive during mating season.

“If we found them I suppose we would try to retrieve them and see if they have any body parts,” said Queensland police inspector Ray Harding. “Realistically it’s virtually impossible [but] the idea is to retrieve what we can.”

The victim was swimming with friends and her dog about 15m (49ft) offshore when she was attacked in water which had become murky and muddy after a storm on Friday night. Locals near the site of the attack, on Amity Beach, said they often saw sharks in the water, and had been concerned about a possible attack.

“We’ve been waiting for this for a long time,” said fisherman Miles Scott. “We’ve always thought someone was going to be taken here.” There have been 10 fatal shark attacks in Australian waters in the past five years.
