Menu Column B: Fish Take Out

After the thousands of dead pigs, come the tons of poisoned fish. The Fuhe River is the scene of the latest disturbing example of river pollution in China.

Authorities cleared about 110 tons of dead fish from a 40-kilometer section of the river in the central province of Hubei, the state-run news agency Xinhua reported Wednesday.

Images taken at the scene this week showed thousands of silvery fish carcasses blanketing large expanses of the river and its shore.

The cause of the deaths, provincial environmental officials said, was the discharge of high levels of ammonia into the water by a local chemical plant in Yingcheng, outside the city of Wuhan.

In an update Thursday, the environmental protection department said that a recent drought in the area had “caused (a) significant drop in water level, which decreased the river’s capacity to hold pollutants.”

Domestic sewage mixed with untreated waste from the chemical plant and a paper mill “have caused the biological crisis” in the river, the department said in a statement.

A villager who lives near the river, Li Songqing, told the local newspaper Chutian Metropolitan that the dead fish had been piling up since early Monday.

“Nearly all fish died out in this section, no matter if they were big or small,” he said.

In theory the dead fish are being scooped out and buried to prevent them from being sold. In practice, I’d be really really cautious about buying cat food or any fish product from Asia for the next year or so.

At least the river is named right. Fuhe. Phooey.

packin heat

Model “Jordan” seems to do most of her work for Dillion Precision, a company that makes the world’s best ammunition reloading presses. Oh, and they also make the M134D-H minigun for the government. They put out two calenders a year which seem to be highly popular with our guys in the military. Wonder why?

back for a brand new season of laffs and guffaws. the three stooges reborn. thank you.

Seeing this in today’s paper , I wondered what some really goofy looking photos of Cameron and Obama might look like alongside the president of France, shown here.  The Three Stooges, circa 2013.  I’d have liked to make it four but, believe it or not, even tho I searched, I couldn’t find a really silly or stupid looking real photo (not phtoshop) of John “Lurch” Kerry.

Well anyway ....  President Hollande of France says he will not take France into a bombing campaign against Syria all on its own.  He says if America goes in then so will France. 

So here. For your amusement and ridicule, and snide remarks too.  Ladies and gentlemen of bmews may it please you. I present our glorious wartime leaders for the year of our lord 2013.  The Three Stooges are baaaaak.  Yuk,Yuk

Who looks stupid now? Bid to ban picture that made French President look like a grinning idiot backfires as bizarre shot goes viral

Picture of Hollande gurning was released by French agency AFP
It was quickly withdrawn, sparking a censorship row
AFP is state-funded, but insists it was not asked to pull picture

By Daily Mail Reporter

This unflattering picture of Francois Hollande sparked a censorship row yesterday.

It shows the French President with a gormless-looking grin at a school to coincide with the start of the new term.

The image was released by a photo agency. And when the agency tried to withdraw it from circulation, the photo quickly hit social media sites like Twitter and went worldwide.

The photo shows Hollande grinning in front of a blackboard on which is written: ‘Today, it’s back to school.’

The photograph was taken on Tuesday during Mr Hollande’s visit to a school in Denain, northern France, to coincide with the start of term for hundreds of thousands of French pupils. It appears he was pulling a funny face to make the pupils laugh.

The original image came with the caption: ‘During a visit to the school Denain Michelet, September 3, 2013, Francois Hollande smiles, chairing a panel discussion on the reform of school timetables established by the government.’

AFP initially posted the picture on its website as available for downloading but – apparently concerned it was inappropriate for a head of state – both later issued a ‘mandatory kill’ notice, meaning the photo must not be used.

AFP wrote: ‘Due to an editorial decision this photo has been withdrawn. Please remove from all your systems. We are sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.’

Despite the ban, however, the image quickly hit social media sites like Twitter, and sparked a flurry of comments.

One wrote: ‘Here is the new official photo of François Hollande. Please put up in all town halls!’

Another wrote that no amount of Photoshop editing software ‘can make the president look more intelligent’.

Mr and Mrs Kerry …. table for four.  This way please.

The war party here in the UK is still very much alive.  The Prime Minister Jerk insists that humanitarian aid can continue and be increased while the dogs of war who just miss the old days of ‘Empire’ keep banging on about how evil Assad is and now, from what I am hearing from Obama on the radio news and from his prime lackey, named Lurch by Drew, (it was Drew wasn’t it?) Kerry is talking regime change. Huh?  Well hell, we always knew that’s what they wanted even though it was denied by Obama and Cameron months ago.
No ... these guys wanna be John Wayne and go around with a Big Iron on their hip. (Marty Robbins)

I never thought of myself as an particularly anti-war sort of person.  But I sure as hell am in line with the thinking here all the way.  I see no benefit to us getting embroiled.

Nuff said there except.  Kerry. I can’t let this one pass and I think you folks may have seen it. Maybe?

The photo is five years old admittedly. But surely Lurch already knew then that Assad wasn’t a boy scout.
So anyway, here he is with with his shrill dopy wife having dinner with President Assad and his very pretty English educated wife.

Just thought I should share the pleasant evening they had together with you all.

Bored With Syria

Oy vey, isn’t there anything else in the news?

Yes, the rebels are some brutal bastards.  Did you really expect anything different? Not only are they in a war, it’s a war driven in part by religion, and it’s in a corner of the world where both sides come from a culture not exactly known for compassion, forgiveness, or even fair play.

The Syrian rebels posed casually, standing over their prisoners with firearms pointed down at the shirtless and terrified men.

The prisoners, seven in all, were captured Syrian soldiers. Five were trussed, their backs marked with red welts. They kept their faces pressed to the dirt as the rebels’ commander recited a bitter revolutionary verse.

“For fifty years, they are companions to corruption,” he said. “We swear to the Lord of the Throne, that this is our oath: We will take revenge.”

The moment the poem ended, the commander, known as “the Uncle,” fired a bullet into the back of the first prisoner’s head. His gunmen followed suit, promptly killing all the men at their feet.

Putin thinks John Effin’ Kerry is a liar? But, but he served in Vietnam!!

And Vlad is playing Baracky boy like the world’s cheapest rented violin. What a laughingstock our pResident is. Thanks so much Barry.

President Obama arrived in Russia today to find the already failing relations with his host in even worse condition. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s threat to provide his Syrian allies with a missile shield in the event of U.S. airstrikes further complicates Obama’s flagging effort to win international support for an attack on Damascus. As the Guardian reports, Putin’s warning that an attack without UN backing would provoke military aid from Russia may drive away the handful of international partners for Obama’s proposed attack.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claim that the main combat unit of the Syrian rebels is part of Al Qaeda adds a further chill to U.S.-Russia relations. Putin said Secretary of State John Kerry “lies openly” about Al Qaeda’s role among U.S.-backed rebels in Syria. Putin’s comments came after Kerry’s testy exchange with Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., over the role of terrorist groups in the rebellion. Kerry claimed that Al Qaeda-allied groups were a small fraction of the force. State Department officials dismissed Putin’s charge.

Russia has a missile shield? That they’ll give to the Syrians? What is it, an iron umbrella they can hold over their heads? Because hey. Russian + high tech = fish - bicycle.




Maybe I can find something better to write about. Hey, I saw a hummingbird yesterday. I didn’t know we had them here, and I think that’s the first time I’ve ever seen one anywhere. Cool.

UPDATE: You know what sucks? What sucks is when the Conservative Blogosphere, the VRWC (vast right-wing conspiracy ... ask Hillary about that one), agrees with that sneaky KGB commie bastard.

John Kerry Cannot Tell a Lie ... well, maybe we should say he can’t tell one very well.

When Secretary of State Kerry testified at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on President Obama’s proposed Syria adventure he said he didn’t want to rule out the need for the U.S. to deploy troops to the ground in Syria, then the former Senator from Massachusetts – and Democratic presidential nominee – backtracked and said if it means winning the vote for war, the Obama administration would have “no problem” with Congress writing a resolution prohibiting Obama from sending troops to fight on the ground in the Syrian civil war.

This was reminiscent of the remark Kerry famously made during a debate with President George W. Bush that first he was for Bush’s war in Iraq – before he was against it.

Oh yeah, it was such a great idea making Lurch our new Secretary of State.

unplanned demolition derby on a bridge. Drew should love this.

100 car pile up, 200 injured this morning.

Reminds me of an olde song.

A foggy day in London town. 

Tons of photos and video. Take a look at this mess.  And they were stranded all day.

I guess cell phones really prove their worth in these situations as would tablets and Kindle.

Yikes, 30 degrees c.  I think (?) that’s about 90 degrees in real temp. terms. I HATE centigrade. 30 tells me beans but hey, 90? Now that I can relate to.

Stranded on the road to nowhere for EIGHT hours: Chaos in Kent as 200 are injured in 100-vehicle pile-up on the Sheppey bridge

‘Carnage’ on new Sheppey crossing bridge on A249 in Kent at 7.15am saw cars and lorries crash into each other
Eight people seriously injured and another 200 with minor injuries - but no fatalities after incident this morning
Scene was full of buckled cars, lorries and car transporter amid reports some motorists were driving ‘like idiots’
Stranded motorists forced to sit on Tarmac of closed road for up to eight hours in 30C heat but left area by 3pm
Local Conservative MP reveals he had concerns about design of bridge’s lighting and will talk to the authorities
AA chief says crash may have been caused by ‘stupid driving’ - specifically tailgating and not using fog lights
Police say it’s ‘truly miraculous’ that no one was killed in today’s pile-up, which saw 33 people taken to hospital
Lives probably saved after lorry driver uses truck to block bridge entrance and stop more cars piling into crash
Drivers may have been caught out by irregular nature of fog patches in South East this morning, forecasters say

maybe later

Wish I could sit in front of the PC all day and play. Can’t. Stuff to do.

Will try to post later.

Meanwhile ... this Syria resolution BS running around in the Senate? Crivens.

Tard-o-rama.

I want a Wiley E. Coyote size mallet, and then I want to go to DC to play Whack-a-mole.

Never seen such recursive stupidity in my entire life.

Fire them all, cut the federal government by 3/4, and start over. With a few million less laws too.

Friggin’ idjits.

Gak.

Mirror Mirror On The Wall …

”So we’re bombing Syria because Syria is bombing Syria? And I’m the idiot?” So, said Sarah Palin Friday evening.

Her sharply sarcastic statement, posted on her Facebook page as usual, followed President Obama’s latest global update on his unusually long deliberations over what he describes as a minor reaction to Syria’s use of chemical weapons against Syrians. Fifty-three weeks ago Obama drew a red line in the sand, saying:

“We have been very clear to the Assad regime but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is; we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would change my calculus; that would change my equation.”

Last winter Bashar Assad used chemical weapons, killing a few hundred of his countrymen, country-women and country-children. No White House action then.

As one result, more than two weeks ago the Syrian dictator once more used these weapons, killing more than 1,400 men, women and children in the capital’s suburbs. Again, no immediate U.S. reaction. Only when the public and congressional drumbeat increased, did the administration speak out. Obama consulted with allies. John Kerry talked imminent serious military action. Britain’s Parliament said, “Uh, no, not us.”

Obama’s point has been that there should be some consequences for violating international norms about chemical weapons.

Stuck in his own painted-corner, Obama hesitates further, adding to his perceived weakness abroad and puzzling even sympathetic supporters. So long after the crime, the Democrat’s planned punishment, whatever it is, now looks more like a lash-out for his own humiliation by the skinny Syrian.

Today, Obama said he envisioned only a “limited, narrow act” with no “open-ended commitment” and no “boots on the ground approach.” Then, despite the limited, simple steps he has in mind, Obama dithers more, repeating, “I have not made any decisions.”

Reminds us of someone’s angry mother telling a misbehaving son, “Boy, are you in trouble when your father gets home from his business trip next week.” By which time, no one remembers the crime.

Both barrels Sarah, reload, repeat.

I’m just gonna call this Peiper’s page cos I haven’t another title for it

There were a number of very interesting comments on Drew’s Saturday post, Mr. Blameless. Some darn good points but I have to say a few things based on what’s happening here on the topic.

As it happens, France is quite ready to launch missiles at Syria. And according to Kerry who really stepped into it large, France is our oldest ally.  I suppose technically that is true. But Brits don’t see it exactly that way.  They feel they are America’s closest and most trustworthy ally, and some have rejected Kerry’s statement.  Critics remind France that after all, it’s Americans that called you cheese eating surrender monkeys.
I always thought that was a reference to the surrender in WW2, when Paris was declared an open city.  Do I have that wrong?  Because here, it’s a reference to France not backing our war against Iraq under Hussein.

First, the msm closely followed by any number of blog sites, keep banging on about Assad launching attacks against civilians. Ah, the magic word that justifies the west sticking it’s nose into Syria’s civil war. Just as it did setting things straight in Libya, and we can all see how great that turned out for the Libyans.  Not that I miss Gaddafi.  Every article I read, and this would be in conservative papers, all use the same wording. They claim that Assad has, “attacked his own civilian population”.
I say No He Hasn’t.  He has attacked insurgents many of whom are known terrorists and jihadists who operate from civilian centers.
Also, you all will recall, (Drew covered this in a post some time ago) the habit these folks have of using mosques as ammo dumps and fire bases when it suits them.  The end result of course is civilian casualties. The papers seem to very conveniently forget about that small item.
Anyway …

I totally agree with all Drew had to say about our staying out of that dismal and unordered mess that is Syria’s civil war.  Further, I have serious doubts that Assad while maybe bad, is also mad.  He’d have to be to order an attack using chemical weapons at the very time UN inspectors are in his country.  And doubly mad to use any weapons of any kind where his own troops are known to be.  Which has been put forward here.

Kerry and his master in the WH seem to believe, or they would dearly like to believe, that Assad ordered the use of those weapons.  I have no access to top secret documents so I wouldn’t know. Would I?  But it just doesn’t add up and I don’t believe Assad is crazy or even stupid.  I do think it is just as likely that someone ordered an attack and gave an order to use them without first getting approval. Okay, that’s remote I know.

And then there are the Christians. Or has everyone forgotten about them?

I have heard the odd interview here and there with some Christian refugees, who are worried about the fall of Assad’s regime.  They are they have said, worried about their future or if they will even have one, if Assad falls.  He has not been anti Christian but they are worried that whoever replaces him, just might be.

OK finally, just so you get a picture of what some folks in the press think, and this is from Conservative, Max Hastings.
This is his take on Parliament voting against support for their PMs sabre rattling.  Which is insanely interesting as it was the Brit PM who lobbied Obama very hard and spent 40 minutes on the phone with him, to convince Obama to join with the UK in sending Assad a message via missiles.  He never stopped to check if he had the support he’d need here, but lobbied O. thinking he did.  Color him embarrassed now.

I am not posting his entire editorial but before you get hot under the collar, I’d suggest you read it all first.

A disaster? No, it’s high time Britain stopped being Uncle Sam’s poodle...And as for those taunts about their ‘oldest allies’ the French, who cares!
By Max Hastings

We have associated ourselves with the U.S. in successive foreign crusades, and gained no reward in prestige, respect or gratitude.

The historian Michael Burleigh wrote in his recent book Small Wars, Far Away Places, castigating the failure of U.S. interventions: ‘Everything the U.S. did damned it as an imperialist power and, however harsh that verdict may seem, since Vietnam it has stuck.’ Burleigh is not a Leftist, merely a realist.
Britain’s subordinate role has secured it only a subordinate share of ingratitude and even hatred in most of the societies where it has joined America to meddle.
There is nothing for Britain in Syria, and nothing for the Syrian people in any attempt by our Armed Forces to blunder in there.
I heard a Cameron supporter say yesterday: ‘But how shall we feel if America, backed by Germany and France, takes military action in Syria, and we are not there?’
Pretty good, is my answer to that. As America signalled last night that it is prepared to attack Syrian targets, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s remark about France as ‘America’s oldest ally’ was only a foretaste of plenty of rougher ruderies to come at Britain from across the Atlantic.

MAX HASTINGS, READ IT ALL

Now if you really want to pull your hair out in anger cos you can’t bitch slap this slag …. here’s a self confessed libtard lefty of Ugandan origin, a muzzie and a Brit citizen who is a columnist here. She even appears on occasion in some conservative papers.  In spite of what she may say here as a blind, the truth is, she really does not like America or Americans very much except for a few she knows personally, and those we can be sure are most likely Marxists.  So here’s her headline as I read it this morning against better judgement, as every time I fall into the trap of reading her, I want to break her ugly face with a Louisville Slugger.  Given the chance, I swear I would with no hesitation. 

Not to defend the skank in any way but, living here as I do, I am made aware of a few things where Brits really have got the crappy end of the special relationship myth.  That is, they have not always been treated fairly.

The Special Relationship is over? Good.

Britain deserves better than this unequal marriage to the US

By Yasmin Alibhai-Brown

Tony Blair, the most willing spouse of the US, lost the argument. So Cameron, even though he, too, is a US loyalist, may be remembered as the PM who finally released us from that disastrous “special relationship” which began, understandably enough, because of the Second World War and America’s pivotal role in the victory.

Britain’s wartime debt has to end sometime. With our abject collusion, Americans have bases wherever they choose, a thriving weapons-based economy, a free card to detain and torture whomsoever they capture, to claim the planet and commandeer its resources. Guantanamo Bay, built on Cuban land, is the most potent symbol of all that. How long do we simply roll over every time the US wants us to?

Wars, as the American comedian George Carlin says, that’s what his nation does best: “We’re not good at anything else now – we’ve got no steel industry, can’t educate our young people, can’t get healthcare for our old people, but we can bomb the shit out of your country, especially if it is full of brown people.”
The first and “inspiring” black President turned out to be just another US cowboy, who believes Americans have special God-given rights that are not available to other humans, not even us pathetic Brits. The UK hitched to the US is more hated today by various peoples of the world than it was even when it had its own empire.

More American-born immigrants live in Britain than do those born in Jamaica. It is their imperial right. Immigration rules going the other way are indefensibly stricter. Extradition treaties and other agreements are just as imbalanced. We would be saner about our European destiny if there wasn’t this sad dependency on the US. Our future links with China, South Africa and India need to be dislocated from American paranoia and interests based on ignorance. And do not forget that Americans detested the welfare state model and are helping to dismantle it today.

more of the ugly bitch here

Second Baby This Week

those people can’t shoot for shit

A 1-year-old boy has died after he was shot in the head Sunday evening in Brooklyn.

MyFoxNY.com reports the boy, identified as Antiq Hennis, was in a stroller crossing Livonia Avenue with his parents in the Brownsville section of the borough when shots were fired shortly before 7:30 p.m. Antiq was rushed to Brookdale Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

A witness told the New York Post that “three to four shots” were fired. The paper reported that police were looking into the possibility that the boy’s father, Anthony Hennis, was the intended target of the gunfire. A police source told the Post that the elder Hennis had a record of more than 20 arrests in New York and Pennsylvania, for offenses including narcotics, weapons possession, assault, and car theft and driving violations.

Sunday’s shooting was the second of a toddler in eight days in Brooklyn. Three-year-old Tharell Edward was shot in the head and wounded Aug. 24 as he slept in his family’s apartment where an acquaintance was watching him. Akeem Bernard, a friend of the baby sitter, was charged in that shooting.

2 minutes happy

BBC One commercial from 2011 with David Attenborough

Clicking Full Screen gives you the HD version ... very nice.



I figured you might need a few minutes break from the news that Syria has essentially declared war on us, terrorists are trying to close the Suez Canal, and the rest of the world - especially those fawning, pre-emptive Nobel Prize awarding eurowienies - is finally figuring out that Captain Stumblefuck is an utter twit at international relations ... (take a deep breath and sit down) ... and that maybe they preferred Bush at the helm.

Barack Obama is proving an embarrassing amateur on the world stage compared to George W. Bush

George W. Bush was widely mocked by the Left during the Iraq War, with liberals jeering at the “coalition of the willing,” which included in its ranks some minnows such as Moldova and Kazkhstan. Michael Moore, in his rather silly documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, went to great lengths to lampoon the Iraq War alliance. But the coalition also contained, as I pointed out in Congressional testimony back in 2007, Great Britain, Australia, Spain, Italy, Poland, and 16 members of the NATO alliance, as well as Japan and South Korea. In Europe, France and Germany were the only large-scale countries that sat the war out, with 12 of the 25 members of the European Union represented. The coalition, swelled to roughly 40 countries, and was one of the largest military coalitions ever assembled.

As it stands, President Obama’s proposed military coalition on Syria has a grand total of two members – the US and France. And the French, as we know from Iraq, simply can’t be relied on, and have very limited military capability. It is a truly embarrassing state of affairs when Paris, at best a fair weather friend, is your only partner. John Kerry tried to put a brave face on it at his press conference today, by referring to France “as our oldest ally,” but the fact remains that his administration is looking painfully isolated.

Make that a 3 minute happy.

soggy

Raining like mad here today. Thunderstorms rolled into town late yesterday afternoon, rain steadily increasing overnight until a crescendo deluge this morning.

Bah.

Good excuse to make a nice solid breakfast and then read by the fire, followed by a mid morning nap.

Riiight. As if.

Nope, stuff to do.

Bye bisy backson.
