Still Kicking, Albeit Slowly
I may be off by a day or two, but I do believe today is Peiper’s birthday.
Happy Birthday Peiper!
He’s made it 10 years past retirement. Hurrah!
Cake and ice cream will be served in the drawing room later on. I’d do better to gin up the festivities, but I have to spend the day with my MIL who is nearly as ... mature ... and is in rotten health. We’ll get her ready for her return to the hospital tomorrow, so I won’t have time to post today.

Permalink • In A League Of Their Own
Both Greed League and Cheap League finished this week. I get a whole week to relax before summer league begins. I’m going to spend that time trying to strengthen my release and to work on my corner game with a new lighter spare ball. I’ve got one that’s a full 16lb, and it weighs a ton in my hand. Not necessary; spare shooting is about precision, not power. A 14 or 15lb ball would be easier to throw and easier to control. And I can get one new for something like $50, drilled to fit my hand.
Talk about differences between leagues.
Greed League is all about the money, and everything else goes by the sideboard. We had more than 14 300 games bowled in that league this year. Not a word. Something like $37,000 flowed through their coffers this year, but no accounting statement was put forth. And the treasurer seemed almost offended that anyone would ask what the prize amounts were ... after all, everyone voted on the approximate amounts back in August, at which point the papers with the amounts on them were collected as the votes. So why are you asking now you troublemaker? Hardly a bit of applause for anyone, each team just came up to the counter to collect it’s envelope, split the money up to the team members, and left. Bunch of dead eyed fish. But I did manage to find out that the 1st place winners turned a profit, taking $130 more in prize money than they had paid in all year. Our team finished 3rd, and our payout was nearly half of our dues paid in. Huge money. In a league of 8 teams, last place got a lousy $60 per man, only a 15th of what 1st raked in. Savage. Gosh, and they wonder why it’s so hard for them to keep teams year after year!
Cheap League is all about the fun. And just a tiny bit about the money. The weekly dues are only 65% of Greed League’s, the league officers don’t get paid diddly for their efforts, and most of the prize money gets rolled back in for weekly cash games and semi-annual parties. Last week was the end of the actual competition, so this week it was party time. And it rocked! We had a night of no-tap bowling, the kind little kids and raw beginners do, and it was a blast. They put colored pins into the mix, and if you got a real strike when the headpin was a colored one you won a free game ticket. And if you didn’t strike, you got to pick something from the grab bag. I totally lucked out and had the colored pin about a dozen times, so I now have a fistful of free game cards and a collection of dollar store toys and games. And the folks who work at M&M Mars around the corner brought in gift boxes for each team with about two dozen various snacks and candy bars inside. And homemade white chocolate bowling themed lollipops. And we had a massive catered buffet with slightly open bar, with enough leftover food so that everyone took home dinner for four. Awesomeness! Then we held a proper league meeting to give out the small cash prizes, and the USBC awards, and nice trophies, and even toilet paper to those lucky “111” bowlers ( a 111 is the “outhouse” score, a little razzie that you try not to bowl. But sometimes you have a bad night and do so anyway. None for me this year!) Our secretary gave everyone a printout of all their scores, and our treasurer handed out a printed full financial disclosure that showed every dollar that came in and how it was spent, including what prize money went to each place. That’s how it’s supposed to be, right out of the USBC rulebook. I couldn’t ask for a better ending to a season. Our 4th place cash prize was $35 per person. Who cares? I got mini Chinese Checkers, Laptop Putting Golf, a squeeze ball, and a whole box full of Snack-ums.
I now have an ally against the massively disproportionate payouts in Greed League. Our new team member J is a superb bowler, smart as a whip, and a great big mofo at 6’5” 275lb. He’s been in bowling leagues since he was a kid, and he’s never seen anything like this. So he WILL have his say in the fall and he will be listened too. And then I’ll dip my little oar in the water Rodney King style, let’s all get along, fair is what the majority of us decide on, let’s form a committee, agree on goals, etc. Meanwhile, I’m almost done with a new version of my prize calculator spreadsheet. This one does cash increments between places, and is built so that you can enter your goals (1st place gets $X, 2nd gets $Y, 3rd gets $Z) and then parses out the rest of the money evenly. It adapts to as many prize goals as you want to have, and highlights the lower position payouts if things are imbalanced past a certain level of “fair”. I just have to figure out the base slice algorithm with a calculated cut counter. Right now I’m using the Excel CHOOSE function, which works but is not really elegant. Once a programmer, always a programmer. And I’m full of ideas.

Model axed from South African FHM after sparking outrage with racist comments on Twitter
Jessica Leandra used word ‘kaffir’ - a derogatory term for a black person
Also dumped by weightloss firm that is one of her main sponsorsBy EMMA REYNOLDS
A popular model was today axed from the South African edition of lads’ mag FHM after she was accused of making racist comments on Twitter.
The publication confirmed Jessica Leandra Dos Santos, 20, would no longer appear in its photoshoots after she caused outrage by using a taboo term for black people in a tweet.
The attractive model, known as Jessica Leandra, was widely condemned after she yesterday tweeted details of a confrontation with a black man in her local supermarket.
She wrote: ‘Just, well took on an arrogant and disrespectful kaffir [an offensive term for a black person in Afrikaans] inside Spar. Should have punched him, should have.’
The tweet immediately sparked outrage across South Africa, where race relations remain a key issue just 18 years after the end of apartheid.
FHM editor Brendan Cooper today condemned Leandra’s use of the ‘k-word’, which is still considered one of the country’s most racially-charged terms.
He added that she had been stripped with immediate effect of her title as winner of one of the magazine’s model competitions.
In a statement he said: ‘FHM was appalled by Jessica Leandra Dos Santos’ racist tweets and would like to formally announce that she has been stripped of her title as winner of the FHM Modelbook 2011 competition with immediate effect.
‘It’s important to us that it is noted that she in no way represents the magazine; she was merely the winner of an online poll we ran, and that we totally distance ourselves from her blatantly racist comments.
‘We have removed all pictures of her from our website and will have nothing to do with her in future. FHM is a proudly South African magazine and say “No” to racism.’
Leandra’s axing from FHM came months after the aspiring glamour model found stardom as the winner of one of the magazine’s talent-spotting competitions.
Now then ..... while we ponder the fairness of that.
What if someone said something like ... hm ... lets see. Something really bad like, the only good kraut is a dead one.
How about that?
Well as it happens, someone did say it.
This guy did, last week. Haven’t heard a word of outrage from anyone. But then I suppose the Germans like Americans and whites in general and Christians in particular are like, open game?
Take a look.
He saw the appalling slaughter inflicted by Germany on Europe, so is it any wonder Patrick Moore’s still sour at the Krauts?
By NIGEL JONESIf the commissars of political correctness at the BBC wore monocles like Britain’s doyen of astronomy, Patrick Moore, what they read in their house journal the ‘Radio Times’ this week would have made those monocles pop out of their eye sockets in utter horror.
For, like Basil Fawlty, the veteran 89-year-old stargazer does not just mention the war, he trumpets it from the rooftops. Moore - who has presented the BBC’s flagship astronomy programme ‘The Sky at Night’ for 55 years since it started in 1957 - warned that we must keep up our guard against the Hun, as Germany was quite capable of starting another world war after their signal failure to succeed in their aim of global domination in rounds one and two.
‘The Germans will try again, given another chance’ said Sir Patrick, adding for good measure: ‘A Kraut is a Kraut is a Kraut. And the only good Kraut is a dead Kraut’. He grudgingly concedes that there may be some good Germans, but witheringly adds ‘I haven’t met any’.

GRANDFATHER OF FOUR TO HAVE SEX CHANGE AT AGE 80
A 78 year old is to become the oldest person to have a sex change operation on the National Health Service.
Or to put it another way, an operation compliments of the taxpayer.
Wouldn’t you think that after 78 years he’d have learned to live with it?
And if he always ‘felt like a woman’ then he surely deceived the one he married and had children by.
Now to be known as Ruth, a granddad of four and who was once James, is going to have an operation at the Charing Cross Hospital in central London in Oct. of 2013 when he will be 80.
A spokesman for the hosp. trust says that they can not and would not want to discriminate on grounds of age.
Of course not. Cos that’d be another one of those ‘isms. Ageism. Can’t have that..
And as long as we’re on the subject of the very much odd. (I’m looking for a better word and weird won’t do.)
A gay rights group wants “Parties to Marriage” to be used in place of husband and wife.
No question about it, the world is a mad green onion.
They say that ‘husband and wife’ should be erased from the statute book as part of a bill to legalize same sex marriage.

Indian Uprising In Massachusetts
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she’s no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
Was it right for [Democrat Senatorial candidate] Elizabeth Warren to identify as a minority? Will voters care? A genealogist is supporting Elizabeth Warren’s claim of Cherokee ancestry. But what could linger with voters is whether it’s right for someone who is 1/32 native American to claim minority status.
In the already intense US Senate race in Massachusetts, a new issue has emerged: Did Democratic hopeful Elizabeth Warren, who claims partial native American ancestry, improperly present herself as a minority to further her academic career?
Ms. Warren’s campaign says her Republican rival, incumbent Sen. Scott Brown, is trying to create an issue where none exists.
On Monday, a Massachusetts genealogist entered the fray by citing a century-old document that, if correct, would show Warren to be 1/32 Cherokee in ancestry. That would confirm her statements that, as a youth, she heard relatives discuss ancestral links to Cherokee and Delaware Indians.
It would not necessarily close the matter as an issue in the Senate campaign, however.
Questions would remain, and potentially would resonate with voters, about whether it was appropriate for her to list herself as a minority when her connection to native American identity appears to be so small.
“You don’t need to take a DNA test to know that in America, Elizabeth Warren is viewed and treated as a white woman, with all its benefits,” commented Jamarhl Crawford, publisher of the Blackstonian, a news organization serving blacks in Boston.
Warren has said she could not recall ever listing native American background when applying for college or a job, the Boston Herald reported Saturday. The paper said Warren also commented that she didn’t have a problem with Harvard Law School citing her background as part of its faculty diversity, but that she didn’t know until recently that the school had counted her as a minority.
Well, she certainly passes the pencil test so we can rule out her being black. But by the now nullified Racial Integrity Act of 1924 she certainly isn’t white.
It appears that Ms. Warren has gamed the system, at least at the collegiate application level. And even though she is a Democrat, I can’t say that I blame her. The only solution that works - a bit of pragmitism no Progressive would ever stand for* - is that we should just get over the whole damn race thing and Move On. No more boxes to check, no more records kept. And thus no more Affirmative Action, no hiring quotas, no Diversity Goals. Crivens, we can’t have that, it would be like ... freedom!!
Instead we have today’s modern world, where you seem to have the right to have race, gender, and sexual orientation by choice. An academia where checking one of the desired boxes can make all the difference in admissions. And all the onus of proof being on the accusing side.
Let’s face it, we’ve got a bevy of black entertainers and highly paid public faces who no self-respecting actual African would identify as black. Folks with just the slightest tiny amount of coffee and toffee tone. But the One Drop Rule goes the other way these days, so fire and brimstone be upon you should you dare to question their hyphenated ethnic assertion. We don’t have to look further than the White House to find a white man, son of a white woman, raised by his white grandparents and by his Indonesian step father, who grew up in a mostly white environment, who claims to be black and is thought of as black just because his bigamist tribal father happened to be an African Muslim. But at the very same time, let’s ignore that this white guy had a Muslim father, carries an obviously Muslim name, and received his early schooling in a Muslim madrassa, and that under Islam the penalty for apostasy is death. Once in, never out, yet the whole damn nation (at least the media) insists that he is a Christian - even if it’s a Christianity of the God Damn America kind, that only praises Radical Black Jesus and leads the guy to give hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to pisslamic Palestinian terrorists in an end run around the wishes of the very government he leads - that no other variety of Christian is really willing to accept in their own heart as Christianity.
And let’s not forget about the press not reporting on the large number of random white folks being beaten by black flash mobs as “racial justice” for the Treyvon Martin shooting, done by a self-identified Hispanic guy that the media has decided is White. Too bad he couldn’t spell “George” as “Jorge”.
So does this mean that Elizabeth Warren is an Indian a Native American? I don’t know. But why not? How much tribal casino stock does she own? That could be the new standard in this day and age.
This issue could play into that narrative, if it appears that Warren sought to use a liberal orthodoxy (affirmative action) to promote her own career.
And, regardless of the political stakes, the to-and-fro in recent days points to an interesting question of defining identity.
I wish I could play this game. I can’t. My mother has been doing the family genealogy for more than 20 years, and she’s really great at it, but in all her tracing of our ancestors, all the way back to Rollo the Bloody Viking, all she ever comes up with are white people. English, Swedes, Germans. A couple of long-ago Frenchies, but from the coast when that area was actually England. The peoples of the North Sea. Heck, there isn’t even an Irishman in my tree, and probably not even a Catholic until you go back before the Reformation. And once all the ancestors got over here (they wisely took the 8th boat across, not one of the dangerous first 3), they stuck to their own, forever. Not a single Native American, ever. And promptly forgot about any of that Old Country nonsense. I’m as American WASP as it gets, or, as our Presbyterian preacher put it to me when I was a little kid, “We’re not ethnic.” And that’s too bad, as I would have liked to go to Harvard Law myself. Failing that, it would have been fun to feel even a little connection to the big St. Patrick’s Day or San Gennaro festivals. Nope, not me. Nada. I don’t even have Lutefisk or toad-in-the-hole to turn to. Zip.
Nineteen I left them, tell me who’s to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I can’t run away from what I am
Update: don’t miss Michelle Malkin’s utterly politically incorrect rant as she skewers Warren (known as “Runs With Lies” in Native American circles) in her post “Sacaja-Whiner”. Pure awesome as she uses every off the reservation pun imaginable, and that’s not me blowing smoke signals.

UPDATE: this morning we add PurpleK and jackal40 to our ranks.
Jackal40 has a secret, which he may share in time. You may be able to figure it out from his comments. This should be fun.
PurpleK hasn’t mentioned any secrets ... but with that handle, hmm? Only things named purple K I’ve ever heard of are a specialty chemical for fighting burning metal fires, and some super potent dope bud that Old Cat Man would love to stuff his bong with. So maybe he does have a secret after all!
We’ve got a good handful of new members here in the past couple of months, so I’m taking a moment to introduce them and welcome them to the big BMEWS family.
Signing on recently are

May they take to commenting just as heartily as Al_in_Ottawa, another recent joiner who has put his oar in the water any number of times. Outstanding.
Until I can figure out how to have open comments without spam and without having to renew my subscription several times over to the blog engine (which means no Captcha for now), comments are limited to members who are logged in. To become a member, all you have to do is send me an email saying that you want to be one, along with your choice of sign-in name, screen name, and password. And I’ll get you registered pretty quick. My email address is on the right sidebar. I don’t do a damn thing with your membership information. I don’t sell it, loan it, or even let anyone else look at it. The only things I ask are that you a) not use a pornographic screen name, and b) provide me with a real email address. Peiper and I have quite a bit of email interaction with a number of the members sometimes, and we can’t converse if we can’t contact you. Membership applications with dummy email addresses will be deleted.
New members, awesome! Woo hoo!!

we always attack the americans
Red Ken Livingstone is trying to get his old job as London’s mayor back.
The red reference is not the color of his hair. For those surfing by and reading and who don’t know, he is very left and very cozy with the muzzies cos he wants their votes in tomorrow’s election. I won’t go into a song and dance about him here, this is just a bit of background so you’ll know his agenda and where he is politically. Which brings me to this column written by a former crony of his.
It’s late, I’ve been busy and never got to the second of our two papers today. Which is why I have to H/T my own wife who did read the Telegraph cover to cover and had me stop what I was doing while she read a section of the column to me. This may read funny to some and I suppose it is in its own way.
As Americans we’re pretty well used to this stuff. But this really does take a prize of some kind when it’s made so out in the open by a fellow who was there.
Take a look.
WE ALWAYS ATTACK THE AMERICANS.
Why this former crony can’t vote for Ken Livingstone
Working as part of Ken Livingstone’s mayoral machine taught me that he’s unfit to rule.
By Dan Hodges
The Labour Party has indulged Ken Livingstone for too long. Think of the tax hypocrisy, and the crocodile tears over his election video. Or his deeply unpleasant comments about the Jewish community, which would – had they been made by any other party member, or against any other minority – have resulted in immediate suspension and expulsion.
“Oh, it’s just Ken being Ken,” plead his acolytes. Well, I know exactly what Ken’s like when he’s “being Ken”, because I used to work for him. Technically, it was for Transport for London, as its director of communications. And the term “worked” is also a bit misleading, conjuring images of a fruitful and extended period of employment. I actually lasted eight months, before departing in somewhat unfortunate circumstances. But this is what I learnt, in the meantime, about how Ken Livingstone and his people operate.One of the charges levelled at his administration was cronyism. This was spot on: I was one of the cronies. I knew his staff after working for Labour, and received a call asking if I’d consider taking the TFL job.
As someone with virtually no experience of managing staff, handling major budgets or working in a high-profile, customer-facing public sector environment, I viewed myself as ideal for this kind of role. The same can’t be said for the bemused recruitment consultant who phoned me.
“I’ve been told by the mayor’s office to call you.” “Hello.” “You know the deadline’s closed?” “Yes.” “Have you actually applied?” “No.” “And you think you’ll get an interview?”
Just before being appointed, I was taken to see Ken. I was ushered into his mayoral office, with its wonderful view of Tower Bridge, where he told me a bizarre story about the Congolese independence ceremony, in which a member of the Belgian king’s staff had slapped one of the dignitaries. “In the Met, the senior officers get on well with me, but lower down they hate me,” he added. “It’s a bit like that in TFL.” And that was that. I had the job.A couple of weeks later, I was wondering why. We’d received yet another call about a foreign embassy not paying its parking fines. This time it was Russia. We were working up our usual nonsense about what a disgrace it was when a senior Ken aide rang to ask:
“What are you saying about the Russians?” I duly explained. “No. Attack the Americans.” “What?” “Attack the Americans.” “But we’re not being asked about the Americans.” “I don’t care. We always attack the Americans. They owe loads as well. Attack them. Nothing about the Russians.”

Permalink • It’s almost creepy, but I like it
Once again Chris Muir’s Day By Day comic strip echoes something I said in yesterday’s post on Obama’s new Forward! slogan. This has happened a fair number of times before. Great minds thinking alike, or a call for Captain Obvious, or just another pure coincidence? I’m not sure, but I like the idea that my ideas are being picked up and spread around. Or that they occur to lots of other people. That makes me feel part of a bigger group and less extreme. More normal. Which is a nice feeling in today’s seriously left-leaning world. Day By Day runs on the sidebar of a whole lot of VRWC blogs. You go Muir!
Godwin’s Law is one of those humorous Internet “rules” that we see all the time. It says that in any debate, the person who first calls the other one a Nazi loses (or generally drags the Nazis into the debate). But the law only applies when the analogy is false. In this case, the steps from the Red rallying cry Forward! to the gates of the camps are not that many, and in a straight line. More so, given that we all saw that video a couple of years back where some guy who had snuck into the Weather Underground inner sanctum of Obama’s friend, neighbor, and ghost writer Bill Ayers, and related Ayers’ plans for re-education/elimination camps for huge swaths of the population. And that kind of plan is Nazism of the highest order.
“Arbeit Macht Frei” is a wonderful phrase in it’s original context, because Work really does Set You Free. Free from want, free from poverty. Free from powerless serfdom. And from there, via the opportunity for education that comes with a level of success greater than bare existence, eventually free from the dull-witted world of animals and into the enlightened world of civilized humanity. But of all the cliches co-opted and corrupted by the Left - and the Nazis were an extremely Left Wing bunch, regardless of what today’s Leftists would have you believe (Nazism is only Right Wing if your concept of “center” is totalitarian communism) - that it has pretty much become the Ultimate Lie. Not because the phrase itself is wrong. Because these words were hung over the main gates of the Nazi death camps in WWII.
When you wave the Red Banner and take as your own the slogans of tyranny and urge the people Forward! on the road to “Progress” ... that road leads to Hell ... and the camps are just a few semantic steps along the way. Granted that Muir is commenting on an utterly unconstitutional bill of Harry Reid’s that passed in the Senate the other day, wherein people who are behind in their taxes will have their passports revoked - without due process - and thus not be allowed to leave the country. You don’t introduce such a bill unless your ideology is already so far left that it’s over the “normal” American horizon. And instead of being laughed at, mocked, and deservedly tarred and feathered, the rest of the Senate supports you and passes the bill more than just along party lines ... proof that the ideology is rampant in that chamber of our government. Godwin’s Law does not apply here. The Nazi allusion is correct.
We need more than a new McCarthy. We need a purge. We need a new government. Top down.

A fleeing Taliban, desperate for water, was plodding through the Afghan desert when he saw something far off in the distance.
Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the oasis, only to find a little old Jewish man at a small stand, selling ties…
The Taliban asked, “Do you have water?”
The Jewish man replied, “I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $5.”
The Taliban shouted, “You Idiot! I do not need an over-priced tie.
I need water! I should kill you, but I must find water first!”
“OK,” said the little old Jewish man, “It does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie and that you hate me. I will show you that I am bigger than that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a lovely restaurant.
It has all the ice cold water you need. Shalom.”
Cursing, the Taliban staggered away over the hill.
Several hours later he staggered back, almost dead, and said:
“You little prick; your brother won’t let me in without a tie...”

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:
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.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
