I hope the last one is real. Don’t hold your breath.

UPDATE: credit for the GOP 2.0 goes to Doug Ross. Nice job Doug. Lots of interesting posts to read there, like this one.

A drop in the bucket

SHARM EL-SHEIK, Egypt - President Bush said Saturday that the Saudis’ modest increase in oil production is “something but it doesn’t solve our problem” of soaring gas prices.

Taking note of the kingdom’s recent decision to raise production by 300,000 barrels a day, the president said the United States must act, too, to ease the gasoline crisis. He mentioned steps such as developing alternate fuels, improving conservation and expanding domestic exploration.

“We’ve got to do more at home,” the president said on a lawn of a resort overlooking the Red Sea. He spoke after a private meeting with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai.

Bush said he told Saudi King Abdullah during their talks on Friday that the king should be concerned that high energy prices are hurting some of Saudi Arabia’s biggest oil customers, including the United States.

The kingdom decided May 10 on the production increase to help meet U.S. needs after Venezuela and Mexico cut back on oil deliveries. Oil minister Ali al-Naimi made that announcement Friday.

“One of the interesting things about American politics is, those who are screaming the loudest for increased production from Saudi Arabia are the very same people who are the fighting the fiercest against domestic exploration, against the development of nuclear power and against expanding refining capacity,” Bush told reporters.

“So I was pleased they had increased production by 300,000, but I’m also realistic [ ed.: enough of a realist ] to say to the American people, we’ve got to do more at home,” the president said.

As gas prices keep climbing, Bush is promoting moves that long have been part of his agenda. They include opening a coastal strip of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska to oil exploration and production and making it easier to build new oil refineries and nuclear power plants in the United States.

All those ideas have been stymied in Congress, and critics say Bush’s approach would not offer short-term relief to families.

Friday Night Booze Bloggging

Ok, I know better than to hit the keyboard after a cocktail. Or two. But I would like to say that I am against the recent American trend to call anything in a cone shaped glass a martini. Chocolate martinis. Vodka martinis. Et cetera. Balderdash!! A proper martini is made with GIN. LOTS of GIN. And a little dry vermouth. But the problem with a classic martini like that is, if you don’t get the vermouth ratio exactly right, you wind up with a glass full of vile. Which is probably why we have so many damned alternate drinks, overflowing with sugar, calling themselves martinis.

Well, good old Drew has figured it out for us poor Americans. The real problem all this time has been the vermouth. Until a month or so ago, I didn’t even know there were other brands than Martini & Rossi. Well, I’ve learned. Let me tell you something: Martini & Rossi sweet vermouth is pig piss. It is VILE. There is a better way, and here it is:

Get a bottle of your favorite gin. Put it in the freezer. I’m hoping your favorite gin is Hendricks, Bombay, Beefeater, or one of the interesting London Dry Gins you can find if you look hard enough. If you are a Tony Sinclair fan, and your gin is Tanqueray, I don’t want to talk to you. Battery acid mixed with nail polish remover. Better to drink pig piss than that.

The secret to a decent martini is getting some decent dry vermouth. As much as I hate to say it, you want the fwench stuff. Noilly Pratt. Get a bottle and keep it in the fridge. That’s all there is too it.

Ice cubes made from spring water, or filtered water. Put 6 in a cocktail shaker. Take your gin out of the freezer and pour in a goodly amount. Don’t be a cheap bastard, add a little more! Now get the Noilly out of the fridge, and have a good swig. That’s right, that’s how good this stuff is. You can drink it straight from the bottle and it won’t peel the lids off your eyeballs like that eye-T rot will. Unscrew the cap, and pour out half a capfull. Now drink off part of it. Add the rest to the shaker. Put on the cap. Shake shake shake, shake your booty. Shake shake shake, shake your booty. Is your hand frozen from holding the shaker? Good, It’s mixed. Now add 2 queen sized olives to a clean martini glass. Not 5. Not 1. Fuck that onion on a skewer bullshit. 2 queen sized green olives. Manzanilla if you can find them in that size. With the bloody bit of pimento. And if a few drops of olive juice gets in, that’s Ok. Pour. Look at that. Perfection in a glass. Now chug it you bastard! No, just kidding. But let’s face it, a proper martini is just good camoflague (fuck it, I’ve had two. I can’t spell anymore) for doing shots of hard liquor. So don’t be a panty waist and sip, chat, eat, sip. The idea is to knock one or two back RIGHT NOW, have a smoke, and let the cares of the day evaporate.

That’s what a proper martini is.

This is NOT a martini:

1 1/2 shots chocolate liqueur
1 1/2 shots creme de cacao
1/2 shot plain or vanilla flavored vodka
2 1/2 shots half-and-half

Roll the edge of the martini glass in chocolate syrup and then roll it in sugar.

Chocolate martinis. Gak. Peiper, give me some proper English for how swishy that one is.

Turn Out The Lights, The Party’s Over

As the price of crude oil hits $127 a barrel - $3.02 per gallon unrefined!! - the US Senate voted overwhelmingly to suspend adding oil to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Noted economic genius and all-around math whiz Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, feels that this move, which will free up a whopping 70,000 barrels daily, a whole 0.35% of the 20 million barrels of oil we consume a day, will drop the price of gasoline 24 cents a gallon. What a fucking moron.

Meanwhile Our Friends The Saudis have just told Boooooosh that they won’t be increasing production anytime soon.

Questions are bubbling up about whether labeling polar bears a threatened species the other day wasn’t really a move to lock another door against drilling in ANWAR. Gee, ya think?

Every single state governor’s plan to build more nuclear generators has been met with extraordinary objections by the No Nukes crowd.

Here in St. Cloud’s Here in New Jersey, Democrat Senators Bob Menendez and Frank Lautenberg are both running commercials on TV lauding themselves for “saving the Jerey shore” by defeating (R-TN) Lamar Alexander’s bill that would have allowed drilling off the coast of Virginia. Thanks a lot, asswipes.

Turn out the lights
The party’s over
They say that all
Good things must end
Call it a night
The party’s over
And tomorrow starts
The same old thing again

Good night you princes of Maine, you kings of New England.

Woman jailed for smuggling baby, UK so willing to help. But this time a gremlin got caught.

And her name is Peace?  What kinda silly sounding name is that. But then, these folks have a record of odd names.
Anyway, at least this one time the con didn’t work.  What’s scary is how many that have.
And pity the taxpayer.  You don’t think they’ll send the kid back where it belongs do ya?

By June Kelly
Home affairs correspondent, BBC News

Peace Sandberg had said she gave birth to the child
A Nigerian woman has been jailed for 26 months for bringing a child illegally into the UK. Peace Sandberg, who was living in the UK, went to Nigeria and bought a baby to become eligible for a council flat, Isleworth Court Court heard.

She was convicted last month of bringing a child illegally into the UK.

She was reported to police after she initially told council staff she had given birth to the boy, then changed her story to say he was adopted.

Sandberg had a daughter who was living with her in council accommodation in the borough of Ealing in west London.

With dual nationality - Nigerian and Swedish - she knew that as a European citizen working in the UK she would be eligible for a council flat because she had a child.

(ah yes. the old child ploy. something I mentioned in a post yesterday. Y’all come in, the ratepayer of the UK will take care of ya. Do Brits have an equivalent
for Y’all? )

But her daughter left the UK and moved to Sweden to live with her father, Sandberg’s ex-husband.

With her daughter’s departure Sandberg saw her hopes of a new home slipping away - which is when she hatched her plan to get a child.

At the end of 2006 she flew back to Nigeria.

She had already sent £150 which the police believe was payment for the baby boy.

She needed a visa to take him into the UK.

During the trial Andrea Charles, a visa officer at the British High Commission in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, described to the jury how a distraught Sandberg turned up with the baby.

There is a possibility this child will never know his true identity

She claimed she had given birth to him in Nigeria because she wanted him to qualify for a Nigerian passport.

Ms Charles said she had no reason to doubt her story and issued the visa.

When Sandberg arrived back at Heathrow airport she immediately went to the housing department.

Councillor Ian Green of Ealing Council says: “She told staff that the child was hers. But they had seen her only a few months before and knew that the child couldn’t be hers as she wasn’t pregnant at the time.

“She then changed her story and said she had adopted the child.

“Council officers were still not satisfied and alerted the police and the other authorities because they were of the opinion that she was using this child to gain council accommodation.”

A criminal investigation was launched by the Metropolitan Police’s Paladin Team, specialists in child trafficking.

Isolated case?

Det Insp Gordon Valentine, who heads Paladin, said: “This was clearly a case of trafficking.

“Peace Sandberg is a heartless woman. She brought the baby from his home environment for the purpose of her own ends without any regard for the future of that child.”

Child protection campaigners believe this is not an isolated case. 

(duh ... be really blind,deaf and stupid if they did.)

Christine Beddoe, director of the children’s charity ECPAT UK, said: “We get information brought to us about suspicions of child trafficking particularly for housing benefit fraud from social services and from children’s organisations.

“They don’t seem to be reported to the police. But we do believe it is much more widespread than people think.”

Social services have been unable to find the child’s real family in Nigeria.

He is now in foster care and looks set to be adopted and grow up in the UK.

(oh bloody great. The UK really needs another one. but then, this is a rich country. Right? And what’s yours rate payer, well it’s theirs as well. )

Det Insp Valentine says: “There is a possibility this child will never know his true identity.”

I think it’s time to give Bob Barr a serious look.

Save The Earth: Stop Breathing Right Now!!!

Ok, now that Global Warming has wimped out and become Climate Change, and now that the Carbon Credits thing has begun to show itself as the scam that it is, the Eco-freaks have come up with a new gas we should all be afraid of. Nitrogen. Which makes up a mere 78% or thereabouts of our atmosphere. Nitrogen. You know, that stuff that plants can’t live without. The stuff that everything can’t live without actually. So now there’s too much of it, in the wrong form. And it’s all humanity’s fault, although the blame really ought to be given to Bush!! Well, just because. Why not, everything else is.

Studies say reactive nitrogen a growing hazard in the environment

While carbon dioxide has been getting lots of publicity in climate change, reactive forms of nitrogen are also building up in the environment, scientists warn.

“The public does not yet know much about nitrogen, but in many ways it is as big an issue as carbon, and due to the interactions of nitrogen and carbon, makes the challenge of providing food and energy to the world’s peoples without harming the global environment a tremendous challenge,” University of Virginia environmental sciences professor James Galloway said in a statement.

“We are accumulating reactive nitrogen in the environment at alarming rates, and this may prove to be as serious as putting carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,” said Galloway, author of a paper and co-author of a second on the topic in Friday’s issue of the journal Science.

While nitrogen alone is inert and harmless, reactive nitrogen compounds — such as ammonia — have been released by its use in nitrogen-based fertilizers and the large-scale burning of fossil fuels.

Various forms of nitrogen contribute to greenhouse warming, smog, haze, acid rain dead zones with little or no life along the coasts, and depletion of the ozone layer in the stratosphere, the researchers concluded.

The researchers propose ways to reduce nitrogen use, ranging from encouraging its uptake by plants to recovering and reusing nitrogen from manure and sewage and decreasing nitrogen emissions from fossil fuel combustion.

Let’s start a betting pool to guess which gas will be next in the Fear The Air shellgame. I’ll take hydrogen by next February. But I can guarantee you somebody is going to make a lot of money off of this. That’s how it always works. Raise the Fear, Reap the Profits. What a bunch of ester releasing, nitrogen rich, organic compost. Mooo!

Read all about this terrible problem right here at the INI (International Nitrogen Initiative) webpage brochure:

The Problem
There are two major problems with nitrogen: some regions of the world do not have enough reactive
nitrogen to sustain human life, resulting in hunger and malnutrition, while other regions have too much
nitrogen (due mainly to the burning of fossil fuel and to the inefficient incorporation of nitrogen into food
products) resulting in a large number of major human health and ecological effects.

The Challenge
The challenge of nitrogen is how to optimize the use of nitrogen to sustain human life while minimizing the
negative impacts on the environment and human health. It is critical to the health of humans and
ecosystems that this challenge be met. It is doubly critical because without action, future populations will
be more stressed either due to nitrogen limitations or due to nitrogen excesses.

So you can tell already what The Solution is going to be, right? OF COURSE it will be “fairer distribution” and the only way to make that happen is Worldwide Socialism! This Greenie Bullshit is so damned transparent. Shine a light under any bush and you’ll find that the roots are Red.

( I can see another solution. The general gist of the nitrogen movement will be to ban artificial fertilizers. Guaranteed. The hippies have been crying about that for decades. But the Turd World doesn’t have enough nitrogen in the soil for their agriculture. And nitrogen is released by organic decomposition. So let’s clean up our act, and send all our raw sewage to these countries. Spread it around evenly, about a foot deep. After that nobody will be able to say that they’re Piss Poor anymore, they’ll have plenty of nitrogen, and the odds are they won’t notice the smell anyway. )

You can’t make this stuff up

No newts is bad news as council spends £1m

A council spent £1 million protecting a colony of rare newts on a building site only to discover that none lived there.

Leicestershire County Council delayed a major road-building scheme for three months after evidence of great crested newts was found on the site. The species is protected by law, but after the authority paid hundreds of thousands of pounds for special newt-fencing and traps, not one of the rare creatures was discovered.

The action was taken on the strength of a report from environmental experts, which found there could have been between one and 10 of the 6in amphibians on the site.

Officials yesterday lodged a complaint with the government, claiming the outlay would have a knock-on effect on local services.

The council leader David Parsons said: “I’m not happy that we have gone a million pounds over on the bypass and then found no great crested newts.

“It’s completely unacceptable. I’ve written to the minister concerned, and all he can say to me is that it’s because of European Union regulations.”

The possible colony was found near the £15 million Earl Shilton bypass in Leicester during surveys last summer. A 1,000-yard exclusion zone was erected around ponds while further tests were carried out and hundreds of thousands of pounds was spent on newt-proof fences and traps to move the amphibians when hibernation ended in spring.

Workers were even required to inspect the traps twice a day once temperatures rose above 41F (5C).

But Derek Needham, council engineering manager, confirmed yesterday: “We have caught a number of normal newts but no great crested newts.”

Officials at the council, which commissioned the road, could have faced a large fine or even jail if they had failed to protect a colony. Mr Parsons said: “We have to safeguard wildlife, but we need a change in the law. This is an awful lot of money, and the public will take it badly.”

I bet the newts were eaten by some endangered heron or something. Fargin greenies, just out of control. Screw the little wigglers, build the damn road.

Shocking News

Confluence, Pennsylavania

Two men were charged Wednesday with trying to steal power lines in Somerset County, causing a power outage and injuring both of them.

Daniel Jay Basinger, 24, of Confluence, and Kevin Lee Lytle, 27, of Pittsburgh, were charged with attempted theft and criminal mischief.

State police in Somerset said Basinger and Lytle tried to steal wire attached to a transformer and adjacent poles along Humbert Road in Lower Turkeyfoot Township just after noon May 3.

The equipment is owned by Penelec Power Company.

Both were shocked by an electrical charge during the attempted theft, police said. They fled the scene , but were later driven to Somerset Hospital for treatment.

Judge to miscreants: “You’re grounded, Sparky.”

Gee, Thanks

YOU KNOW THINGS ARE IN THE CRAPPER WHEN A MAJOR CORP. BECOMES NANNY TO ALL.

This story is about the worst bit of nanny-ism I’ve come across so far.  Bad enuff big brother govts. like to play that game.  But when a company like this, and it is a very MAJOR one, can get away with this crap .... well then .... I just don’t know what else to say. I believe it’s stupid, I don’t believe it’ll achieve it’s aim and it’s sure to anger many.

Now then, this company is opening stores in the USA I want ya to know.  I’d like to see them try and get away with this crap in the USA.  Or do ya suppose they already know better.  But the Brits bless em ,,, they’ll probably go along with the program.  The rest like Lyndon and Chris will leave for Canada.

This is so bizarre I’m gonna resist the temptation to add anything between lines.  But DREW .... be my guest.  I think you’d keep a cooler head then I.

Tesco ban on alcohol sales to parents

Last Updated: 12:36AM BST 15/05/2008 |
Tesco is refusing to sell alcohol to parents shopping with their children under rules designed to tackle underage drinking.
The supermarket has told cashiers not to supply alcohol if they suspect an adult is buying the drink for an underage youth.

Staff have been told to “err on the side of caution” when interpreting the policy, leading to cases of parents out shopping with their children being told to put alcohol back on the shelves.

Tesco says it believes parents will support the policy and it would rather apologise where it has misjudged the situation than sell to underage drinkers.

However parents who have been refused alcohol have described the rule as humiliating and daft.

Debbie Bell, 39, a housewife from York, was told she could not buy a crate of lager at a Tesco Extra in the city with her stepson Michael Bruce, 18.

Mr Bruce, a student, was unable to show the cashier any proof of his age and his mother was told to put the 24 cans of Fosters and a bottle of cider back on the shelf.

She said: “You can’t do that just because somebody has kids with them.

“I was in there the day before with a 17-year-old lass and there were no problems.

“Michael wasn’t even carrying the beer, he was just standing next to me.”

Dominic Zenden, a television medium, was told he could not buy six bottles of Budweiser beer when he was accompanied by his 15-year-old daughter Devon.

A cashier at the shop in Sprowston, Norwich, refused to believe Mr Zenden, who has his own series on Sky television, was not going to share the drink with his daughter.

He said: “I was dumbfounded. There was absolutely no indication that my daughter would be drinking the alcohol – it was for me.

”But the woman told me that they don’t sell alcohol to people who have children with them.”

Mr Zenden, 45, who lives in Norwich, added: “They haven’t got signs up to say that they won’t sell to people who have their children with them. If they did it would save a lot of embarrassment at the till.”

The supermarket said it had bought in the policy because a crackdown on selling directly to underage teens had been so successful, youths were now forced to rely on friends, parents and relatives for alcohol.

A Tesco spokesman said: “I can understand the frustrations of the customer but I think that any reasonable parent would understand the problem and support our policy.”

Armed Forces Day, May 17, 2008

Armed Forces Day is this Saturday. I hope you’ve all got plans to do something pro-military. Go to a parade, thank a troop, visit a military museum. Fly your flag. Do something.

If the weather holds, I know what my plans are:

It may not be that much of a show, but if it goes over, maybe I can talk her into going to the Big One a few weeks later. Wow, you can even book a ride on a B-17. Awesome. And awesomely expensive too! Nah, even the sound of 4 big radial engines running is enough for me.

BATFE Out of Control As Usual

Veteran Gets 30 Months In Prison For “Transferring Automatic Weapon”

Of all the branches of the federal government, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives has the worst reputation. Like the IRS they seem to be a law unto themselves. This is the group that once decided a piece of string was a machine gun and convicted someone because of it. They have a tough job to do, but many folks in the gun world see them as jack booted thugs. The news about the conviction of David Olofson seems to bear this out. Worse, Olofson is being utterly slandered by the media, who are doing their best to make him appear as some kind of gun crazy terrorist.

The rest of this post might get a little technical, and it’s pretty long, so if you aren’t a gun enthusiast you can stop here. Just be aware that BATFE is out of control, and has the power to muscle the court system to get whatever convictions they want. Mr. Olofson is appealing, and I hope he wins. BATFE should be disbanded, or severely curtailed at the least.

Think this will sell in Kentucky?

If you live in the lovely state of Kentucky, home to fast horses, beautiful women, and wonderful bourbon, this is the Obama you’ve been seeing. Will he get your vote?

I guess he thinks you-all are just a dumb-ass bunch of inbred hillbillies livin up in some dark hollow without any of them new fangled e-leck-trick thangs like ray-d-o or tell-a-vizz-yen. You have to be dumber than dirt to fall for this one, so that’s his approach - because that’s exactly what he thinks you are.

Not a word about national security or illegal immigration. Not a word about the military, although Kentucky has lots of native sons and daughters in the service. Nothing about economic solutions. Silence on international relations, NAFTA, CAFTA, taxes, welfare, health insurance. Nope. Just religion. Because that’s all you dumb rubes have. Ok, that and bitterness and gun clutchiness. But let’s not talk about his views on the Gun Thing either.

Another h/t to Rancino, who found it over here.
