Pigs Will Never Fly

Hezbollocks will observe the truce. Right. And pigs will fly. The check’s in the mail. Hillary isn’t running in 2008. All complete fables or outright lies. Hezbollocks got its arse whupped, is low on rockets so yeah ... I expect them to observe the truce ... until they can restock their armaments from their store in Iran. Why in hell did Bush pressure Israel to go along with this? What is there to be gained? We all know what will happen as sure as this looney Nasrallah wears a turban.

This is going to keep going on and on until Hezbollocks or Israel is wiped out. The Muslim states around Israel have their little proxies in Hezbollocks and Ham-ass. They just need to sit back and watch. Keep the madmen supplied with AK-47’s and rockets and enjoy the show. This show will never end ... and pigs will never learn to fly ...

Hezbollah Will Observe UN Truce
(BBC) - Saturday, 12 August 2006, 17:53 GMT 18:53 UK

Hezbollah’s leader has said his group will abide by a ceasefire plan agreed at the UN to end fighting with Israel. However, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said on TV that Hezbollah would continue fighting as long as Israeli soldiers remained in Lebanon.

The UN resolution called for a “full cessation of hostilities”. But Israel has since tripled its troops in south Lebanon and Israeli radio says some have reached the key strategic target of the Litani River.

Israel confirmed seven of its soldiers were killed and more than 50 wounded in fighting on Saturday. Israel’s Cabinet will discuss the UN resolution on Sunday and says it will only halt military action after taking a vote.

On Hezbollah’s al-Manar TV channel on Saturday, Sheikh Nasrallah said the UN resolution was “unfair” in holding his group responsible for the fighting. But he added: “We will not be an obstacle to any decision taken by the Lebanese government.”

And referring to Israel’s insistence it has the right to continue military operations in Lebanon in self-defence, Sheikh Nasrallah said: “As long as there is Israeli aggression, it is our right to fight them and defend our land.”

He added: “The war has not ended. There have been continued strikes and continued casualties. Today nothing has changed and it appears tomorrow nothing will change.”

Sheikh Nasrallah said Hezbollah would co-operate with the deployment of UN and Lebanese troops in the south.

The Clinton Legacy

This is the real Clinton Legacy. It seems every young gal working in DC these days is struggling to acquire her own stained blue dress - and a cool job in the process. Slick Willie must be kicking himself for abandoning Washington for New York. The sad part is this ploy actually seems to work. Case in point: Wonkette recently traded in her blog for a full-time position as correspondent for TIME magazine. Sex sells, as they say and sometimes it is real cheap ...

Skinterns: Shedding Clothes in Hopes of Landing a Job
WASHINGTON (ABC NEWS) - August 12, 2006

When it comes to style, most of the 535 members of Congress wear conservative suits that reflect the power on Capitol Hill. For some of their fresh-faced interns, however, skimpy tank tops, jeans, short skirts and flip-flops are the “underdressed” norm.

“In what I’m wearing, you can see a lot of skin, and I’ve seen a lot of girls walk around maybe not buttoned up,” said Erica Matson, a congressional intern. “These girls wear tight pants, too, and they think maybe they’re not pushing the limit, but they are.”

With hopes of one day entering the political work force, as many as 20,000 interns begin that summer climb on Capitol Hill. Many will arrive at the most-popular address — the White House — with their tongues wagging.

“These kids all come out, and they’re still wearing tank tops and flip-flops, and that’s where the action is,” said Alex Pareene, editor of Wonkette.com, a political Web site.

The site sponsors a ”Hotties on the Hill” contest, highlighting the sexiest interns on Capitol Hill. “The easiest way to stand out is to not dress conservatively, and maybe if you can get noticed, you might get a full-time position,” Pareene said.

The Party Of Lunatics

Decent Men Need Not Apply
by Michael Reagan

The message was loud and clear: there is no longer any room for the likes of Joseph Lieberman in the Democratic Party.

Forgotten were Lieberman’s decades of service to his party, his vice presidential candidacy in 2000, his years of loyally voting for his party’s liberal measures in the U.S. Senate and his incredible decency.

All that counted in this week’s Connecticut primary was his support of the war in Iraq and his refusal to go along with the cowardly cut-and-run group that has taken over his party.

In their eyes this was the unforgivable sin, and for committing it he earned the scorn of the left-wing crazies who have managed to take control of the party of Harry Truman, Scoop Jackson and John F. Kennedy. He simply had to go.

I may disagree with many of his liberal political positions but I bow to no one in recognizing the undeniable fact that he is that rarest of all politicians – a decent, honest, deeply religious man whose word could always be trusted.

In a sane political party those qualities alone would earn him the loyalty, support and respect of his fellow Democrats, but in the party of Howard Dean, Michael Moore, George Soros and MoveOn.org those qualities don’t matter. In that party, decent men and women need no longer apply.

There has been much talk and all kinds of proof that a crazed, well-financed segment of the Democratic Party had taken control; what happened in Connecticut Tuesday showed it to be a fact. From this point forward, only those willing to sign on to the hate-America Stalinist policies of the party’s now-dominant left wing will survive.

The rest will follow Joe Lieberman into the new Gulag reserved for those Democrats who refuse to bow their knees to the reigning monarchs of the extreme left and insist on putting principle above party.

I trust that most of my fellow Americans are as shocked as I am over this turn of events. There is no longer a rational dialogue between the two major parties, or even within the Democratic Party itself. The deranged babbling of the Soros-MoveOn.org loonies is now the only language spoken.

This is a disaster for the Democrats. It has converted what was a legitimate - if frequently wrong - political party where seemingly rational political policies were advanced, into a cabal of unhinged ideologues where no dissent is permitted.

It could also be a disaster for the nation should the loonies of the Democratic left prevail in the fall elections. To begin with, we would quickly witness a replay of Vietnam – a war we won on the battlefield but lost in the halls of Congress which, while claiming to support our troops, slashed the military budget to the bone, de-funding the war.

The end result was the creation of a communist regime in Saigon, and the imprisonment and death of a million Vietnamese – a nation condemned to slavery under the brutal Hanoi dictatorship.

If the crazies gain power on Capitol Hill we can expect to see their cut-and-run policies put into play by the simple expedient of choking off the finances required to fight the war. With our troops withdrawn, we could expect to see Iraq and the entire region descend into chaos, depriving us of our vital Mideastern oil supply lifeline.

Moreover, should we flee from our solemn commitment to help pacify Iraq and secure for the Iraqi people a stable democracy, what other nation would be able to trust us to keep our promises? Taiwan would see itself as defenseless and Japan would be forced to go nuclear to defend itself. The message would be loud and clear to all – Uncle Sam is not a trustworthy ally.

The left has already made it clear that they plan to harass the president and start impeachment proceedings in the middle of a war, no less. They make it plain they will increase taxes and cripple the economy, and return to their cherished goal of imposing a socialist system on the American people.

The Connecticut primary was a red flag warning us of what’s ahead.

Happy Birthday

IBM PRESS RELEASE (ARMONK, NY) - IBM Corporation today announced its smallest, lowest-priced computer system—the IBM Personal Computer. Designed for business, school and home, the easy-to-use system sells for as little as $1,565. It offers many advanced features and, with optional software, may use hundreds of popular application programs.

The IBM Personal Computer will be sold through participating ComputerLand dealers and Sears, Roebuck and Co.’s new business machine stores beginning this fall. It will also be sold through IBM Product Centers and a special sales unit in the company’s Data Processing Division.

“This is the computer for just about everyone who has ever wanted a personal system at the office, on the university campus or at home,” said C. B. Rogers, Jr., IBM vice president and group executive, General Business Group. “We believe its performance, reliability and ease of use make it the most advanced, affordable personal computer in the marketplace.”

IBM has designed its Personal Computer for the first-time or advanced user, whether a businessperson in need of accounting help or a student preparing a term paper. An enhanced version of the popular Microsoft BASIC programming language and easily understood operation manuals are included with every system. They make it possible to begin using the computer within hours and to develop personalized programs quite easily.

IBM, in conjunction with Microsoft, Inc., has adapted an advanced disk operating system to support IBM Personal Computer programs and software development. It has also contracted with Digital Research, Inc. and SofTech Microsystems, Inc. to adapt the popular CP/M-86* and UCSD p-System* to the Personal Computer. These two systems should provide users with the opportunity to transfer hundreds of widely used applications to the IBM Personal Computer with minimal modifications.

The IBM Personal Computer can be tailored to fit the user’s needs. A basic system for home use attached to an audio tape cassette player and a television set would sell for approximately $1,565, in IBM Product Centers, while a more typical system for home or school with a memory of 64,000 bytes, a single diskette drive and its own display would be priced around $3,005. An expanded system for business with color graphics, two diskette drives and a printer would cost about $4,500. The IBM Personal Computer was developed at the Information Systems Division’s Boca Raton, Fla, facility and first deliveries will be scheduled for October.

Quote Of The Day

“I’m talking about a thought that even now seldom forces its way into respectable conversation: the quite reasonable suspicion that the Bush Administration orchestrates its terror alerts and arrests to goose the GOP’s poll numbers.”

Ozymandias

Just when you thought the last Muslim dictator’s mad antics couldn’t be topped, along comes another who is mad as a hatter. This time the Moonbat is in Turkmenistan - wherever the heck that is. I need to go find a map to locate this pesthole country. In the meantime, ponder this madman’s latest wish: BUILD ME A PYRAMID!

Say what? A pyramid in the middle of nowhere? With garish statues of eagles and fountains? Topped with a stained-glass cube with Ali-Whatsizname’s “personal flag” inside. I need a drink. This is gone beyond madness. No one can top this. Can they? Don’t answer that ...

Turkmen Leader Orders Giant Pyramid
ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan (AP) - August 11, 2006, 4:40 PM EDT

Turkmenistan’s authoritarian leader called for building a 130-foot-high pyramid in the middle of the capital to mark the Central Asian nation’s independence from the Soviet Union 15 years ago, a government-run Web site said Friday.

President Saparmurat Niyazov has budgeted $4.5 million to erect the stone structure, to be decorated by statues of eagles, fountains and gilded bas-reliefs depicting “steps of Turkmenistan’s independence and major successes of the country,” Turkmenistan.ru said.

The pyramid will be topped with a cube made of stained glass with Niyazov’s personal flag inside, its construction to be completed by Oct. 27, when the poor, desert nation will celebrate its independence.

Niyazov has ruled the energy-rich state with an iron fist for 20 years, isolating the nation from the outside world and creating an elaborate personality cult around himself.

The eccentric leader, who has ordered all citizens to call him Turkmenbashi, or Father of All Turkmen, has outlawed opera and banned lip-synching. His golden statues and busts are scattered across the country. A massive gold statue of him in Ashgabat rotates to always face the sun.

New Blog Feature

I am proud to announce a new feature on the Barking Moonbat Early Warning System. I have entered into a licensing agreement with CagleCartoons to republish their great editorial cartoons and a wonderful list of editorial writers like Michael Reagan, John Stoessel, Dick Morris and many other opinion writers.

For some time, I have posted excerpts and clipped images here under the Fair Use clause of copyright laws. I have however, always wanted to bring you complete editorial transcripts and complete images of these cartoons ... just like the NY Slimes and Washington Pest do - without their Leftist commentary on the subjects.

This licensing agreement isn’t free and it isn’t cheap but do you know what it will cost you ...? Absolutely nothing (unless you happen to hit the PayPal donate button in the right sidebar by accident - HINT!). I plan to bring you a featured editorial each day if possible to give you something to mentally chew on. One fine example is the post below this one on Cuba. There will be more to follow.

Remember our motto: You can get your news from BMEWS or you can get slime from the NY Times.
_{(well that’s not exactly our motto but it rhymes and I like it)}

The Real Cuba

Enough of Iran, Lebanon and nukular war for one day. Let’s take a look South Of The Border and see what’s going on in Castro’s Cuba, the home of Jimmy Carter and Dan Rather’s favorite Commie - who is wheezing his last breath by now - if we’re lucky.

Bill Steigerwald takes in in depth look at what life is really like in this “worker’s paradise”. Workmen of the world, UNITE! Throw off your chains - at least that’s what Karl Marx decreed. It’s too bad those laborers’ chains were merely exchanged for chains of another, more miserable kind ...

_{Mike Keefe - The Denver Post}

What It’s Really Like In Fidel’s Cuba
By Bill Steigerwald

Your average income is $15 a month. Your meat ration is 3.3 pounds a month. Owning a car is forbidden unless you are among the ruling elite. Computers are illegal. So is Internet access. The prices of the basics you need to live on are low. A decent-size urban apartment rents for $10 a month. But everything is also extremely scarce—food and gasoline to bicycles and bank loans. To get by, you must supplement your income by moonlighting, working in the black market or getting remittances from relatives abroad. Bath soap, shampoo and chicken are luxuries.

Welcome to the Republica de Cuba, the 1950s police state and time warp that Fidel Castro and his fellow goons have spent the last 47 years “perfecting” for the 11.3 million souls who’ve had the misfortune to be born there.

Welcome to the politically abused country American leftists have slavishly adored, defended and given excuses for since Fidel took absolute power in 1959. One of only five communist anachronisms left on Earth, Cuba today is a nice place to visit but unless you subscribe to The Nation magazine or belong to the Communist Party you don’t want to live there.

One political party, Partido Comunista de Cuba, runs the government, owns everything of importance, sets wages and prices, controls all the media, makes all the plans, writes all the rules, puts up all the candidates, wins all the elections and kills or jails the dissidents.

Fundamental human freedoms—to speak, act, own property and trade—are paper promises or nonexistent in Fidel’s paradise of government-coerced equality and shared misery. In a form of apartheid, Cubans are forbidden to mingle with tourists. Cuba’s command economy is overtaxed, over-regulated and pathetically unproductive. The Cuban peso—equal to about 4 U.S. pennies in Havana—is worthless beyond Cuba’s shores.

Fidel and his fellow travelers in America blame Cuba’s sorry state on the trade embargo the United States slapped on the country in 1959. And they never fail to point out that though Fidel isn’t perfect, at least he’s made sure everyone gets free health care and a good education. And that’s more than any U.S. president has done, the casual socialist sniff.

Last week, when word broke that Fidel was sick and had handed off control to his brother Raul, Cuban exiles in Miami were dancing in the street and planning their returns. If the Cuban people get lucky, by now the favorite dictator of the American left will be dead.

But unless the Bush administration’s neocons have prepared an expeditionary force we aren’t privy to, Fidel’s death isn’t likely to immediately bring freedom or capitalist prosperity to Cuba. Some experts think it’s more likely that Cuba under Raul will slowly evolve into a communist-free market hybrid like China or Vietnam.

Anything would be better than what Fidel has created—an impoverished, crumbling, living museum to the evils, idiocies and inefficiencies of unfettered Soviet socialism. The more you read about daily life in Cuba, the more obvious it becomes that it is a victim of too little Yankee imperialism, not too much.

Unfortunately, Fidel’s demise may not be enough. What Cuba’s beautiful people desperately need to liberate them and vault them into the 21st century—political and economic freedom, billions in American investment capital, Nike factories, Wal-Marts, a Major League Baseball franchise in Havana—may still take decades to arrive.

Word For The Day

Whackadoodle: a person whose head is so far up their butt the brown ring is around their waist. An indivdual whose mental facilities lend themselves to conspiracy theories and insane rants and ravings of a lunatic nature. Often seen in natural habitat of: DNC Headquarters, Hollywood, NY Times, Iran, Huffington Post blog.

Synonyms include: “Splodeydopes"/"Idiotarians" (Emperor Misha), “Godless Liberals” (Ann Coulter), “Islamofascists” (The Skipper), “Barking Moonbats” (origin unknown). This condition is readily diagnosed by the presence of tin-foil hats, extreme physical fugliness, nekkid protests, constant references to Mohammed (Bees Pee Upon Him) and may include extreme cases of conversational diarrhea, suicidal behavior and bad breath. Avoid such individuals at all costs.

See how many examples of this phenomenon you can find in the posts below or better yet go to DailyKOS or Democratic Underwear and watch them mill about in a herd. Mooooooo ...

Apocalypse Now!

Pravda thinks we all need to head for the bomb shelters, bend over and .... well, you know the drill. They are quoting Bernard Lewis in a recent article in the Wall Street Journal as well as Russian Generals and political experts. Pravda has it all laid out as a drama in four acts. No intermission, enjoy the show as mankind destroys itself and the planet.

Paging Dr. Strangelove! Or to paraphrase Country Joe And The Fish ....

Well, come on all of you, big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He’s got himself in a terrible jam
Way over yonder in Teheran
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We’re gonna have a whole lotta fun.

And it’s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
Next stop is Teheran;
And it’s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we’re all gonna die.

“I Feel Like I’m Fixin’ To Die” (1967)

Nuclear War Starting In 10 Days?
(PRAVDA) - August 11, 2006

Such was the conclusion reached in the U.S. Russian generals and political scientists disagree only about its exact starting date. Our world is on the brink of another world war. It will originate August 22nd in the Middle East.

The prediction was presented not by Vagna or Nostradamus but by an American political scientist Bernard Lewis in the acclaimed publication of Wall Street Journal. He is a man with close ties to the Bush administration as well as to the non-conservatives pushing for the radical solution of the “Iranian Threat.”

Lewis believes it will be precisely Teheran who will unleash the ultimate conflict by attacking Israel. Why August 22nd? Perhaps simply because Washington has set a deadline for the Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and has demanded a complete wrap up of the nuclear program by that day. It is obvious that Teheran has no intention to comply.

Curiously, this year the night of August 22nd happens to be night Muslims will celebrate the journey of their prophet Mohammed to Jerusalem and his ascension into heaven. According to Lewis the followers of Mohammed have a perfect opportunity to enrich their celebration by throwing an attack on Israel. An immediate retaliation will follow.

“Such a scenario does not seem too unrealistic to me,” comments Sergey Markov, a Russian political scientist, “These days anything is possible in the Middle East. People living there are crazy and they constantly keep playing with fire. Their situation has gone out of control and is ready to explode any minute. In fact, the new world war is already going in that place.”

The First Act

As the Israeli invasion of Lebanon continues it is becoming clearer that Tel-Aviv actually aims at much more than the elimination of Hezbollah. Israel could have long since used its omnipresent scouts to put an end to the resistance’s activity. Neither does the complete destruction of all Hezbollah’s rocket-launching sites present a problem for the Israeli army with its tremendous equipment and might.

So why the endless bombing of Lebanese cities and villages? And why the overwhelming U.S. support? All this is happening precisely during the time when Americans seem unable to force Iran to comply with their demands. Lebanese occupation under the excuse of defending against Hezbollah is itself an excuse for solving the Iranian problem.

Racial Profiling

Racial Profiling: the practice of constructing a set of characteristics or behaviors based on race and using that set of characteristics to decide whether an individual might be guilty of some crime and therefore worthy of investigation or arrest.

What you see below are forty-two names. What do they all have in common? Are any of them 80-year-old grandmas from Sheboygen? Do any of these names sound Danish or French or German? Do any sound like Hispanic or African-American names? No? Well, what race or group of people do these names bring to mind? Careful, you must not offend anyone from a particular region or religion?

Give up? Well, if you’re that damn blind then how do you expect the FAA, Homeland Security, the FBI, the CIA, MI5 or MI6 to be able to identify and stop the people who are desperately trying to murder you and me and as many citizens of Western Civilization as they can? Just because you’re stupid as hell doesn’t mean the people charged with protecting your sorry butt need to be blind also. Are you that convinced that not offending a particular racial group is more important than your own life? If so, then get the hell out of my way when the shooting starts.

If instead, you have a functioning brain and can add two and two without getting five then you probably noticed that these names bear two things in common - the “Religion Of Peace” and the Middle East. Are you following me so far? Good. Now let’s suppose you work for airport security at a major hub. Do you (a) stop everyone with liquids like bottled water, mouthwash, perfume, or eye drops and force them to give you those items before boarding or (b) do a full body strip search of any young male of Middle Eastern origin or name? Consider your decision wisely. People’s lives are depending on you ...

Muslim Group Upset by Bush’s Use of ‘Islamic Fascists’
_{(CNSNews.com) - August 11, 2006}

A Muslim group criticized President Bush for saying that America is “at war with Islamic fascists” after U.K. authorities arrested 24 British citizens of Pakistani origin in an attempt to bomb numerous flights to the U.S. Thursday. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said the president’s “hot button” terminology puts the name of Islam and the Muslim community at risk.

Bush called the attempted terrorist attack “a stark reminder that this nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation.” Nihad Awad, executive director of CAIR, believes Bush should not even mention Islam when referring to the would-be terrorists.

“We have to isolate these individuals because there is nothing in the Koran or the Islamic faith that encourages people to be cruel or to be vicious or to be criminal,” Awad said. “Muslims world wide know that for sure.” Middle East expert and Islamic history expert Daniel Pipes told Cybercast News Service that Awad’s claim is a “debatable proposition.”

“Islam is a political religion in a way that none other is,” said Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum and author of “Militant Islam Reaches America.” “There are many elements within the religion and the history of Islam that suggest there is a dynamic of conquest. “There is something inherently expansionist about Islam,” Pipes continued. “Jihad is expansionist warfare.”

Pipes praised Bush specifically for his use of the phrase “Islamic fascists. For the president to articulate who the enemy is so clearly and unambiguously is a huge step forward,” Pipes said. “You cannot diagnose and treat a disease without first identifying and naming it. So, a strategist cannot defeat an enemy without first identifying it and naming it.”

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.
