Search For Weapons Of Mass Destruction

President Bush is working night and day to find WMD in Iraq (and anywhere else he can look). John "F'ing" Kerry is making fun of him. We don't think much of Monsieur Kerry and his obviously poor attitude so we have decided to practice hunting for WMD here.

With the help of Saddam Hussein's nephew's brother's second cousin by marriage, Sheik Mi'Kal Mor, we have hidden FOUR WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION on this page. Not one, but four. See if you can find all four of them.

Give up?

They're here.

Virus Isolated

Our Benevolent Dictator, Vilmar, finally isolated the virus on his system and is busy transferring everything to a new computer, a monster machine. For some reason he thinks I was responsible for the virus. Who, me? Here is what he found ....



Actually, I'm not surprised he fell for it! Har-har ...

Catching Up

OK, I finally managed to catch up on blogging for the weekend (for the time being). I also managed to get started on Part II of "World War IV - The Arab Wars". This part is depressing to write since I have to wrack my brain and remember Presidents Ford and Carter and the seven years of hell our country went through. I may need Prozac before I complete this part.

Our list server software (PHPList) just released an upgrade so I had to install the new software and upgrade the database. Sign up today and get regular updates for what's going on here. It's free.

Only a few more days to vote in the Memories of 9/11 Contest. Voting ends next Thursday, April 1. After that, Vilmar and I will tabulate the votes and announce the winner. We can't wait to award the prize and also send our servicemen and women a Pizza/Pepsi thank you from all of us.

I also managed to update our sidebar links to other cool blog sites. I had managed to drop some while editing and hadn't noticed it until today. I finally got totally ticked off at RSSReader, which I had been using to keep tabs on breaking news and other bloggers via XML/RSS feeds. RSSReader is just too clunky and takes too long to grab updates. So I broke down and purchased ($29.95) FeedDemon. Excellent RSS News Feed tool. I highly recommend it.

While I was waiting for the laundry to finish I decided to tinker with the site's style sheets again (Vilmar: OH NO, NOT AGAIN!). Sorry, Vilmar but I have wanted the American Flag on the site logo since the beginning but I wasn't able to make it match with the site name and description to where the latter was readable. I think I finally succeeded. While I was at it I decided to make the sidebar more readable with a horizontal texture. I think it worlks. I threw in the metallic background just to give the site a leaner, meaner look. Arrgh!

Enough for one day. I shall rest. I have a new DVD of the movie "1984" with Richard Burton and John Hurt. A relaxing evening is hereby declared. I shall be watching what the country would be like if the Socialists and Liberal Democrats ever manage to take total control.

BTW, Vilmar is once more the victim of a malicious virus attack and his "confuser" has the sniffles. He's cleaning up his system and muttering in tongues .. something about "drawn and quartered", "the rack", "exquisite torture" and an occasional "bwah-hah-ha-ha-ha-ha". If you're sending him these viruses, please be advised that our Benevolent Dictator has been cleaning his guns also. Be very afraid.

P.O.W. Coverup by Monsieur Kerry?

Sydney H. Schanberg at The Village Voice writes that John "F'ing" Kerry covered up evidence of P.O.W.'s left behind in Vietnam. This is not the first time we've read of this and Schanberg presents compelling evidence. I say where there's smoke, there must be fire. When is some brave media reporter going to call on Kerry to answer these charges? Or does Monsieur Kerry get a free ride on everything while George Bush has his past examined under a microsocope .. repeatedly? Enquiring minds want to know, Monsieur Kerry.

Hot Flashes

Bring Me His Head!

New Hamas terrorist group leader Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi, speaking at a rally of some 5,000 supporters in Gaza City denounced President George Bush as "an enemy of Muslims". This goon who succeeded Sheikh "Grease-Spot" Yassin as head of the Palestinian homicide bomber group went on to say "Allah declares war against America, Bush and Sharon". --- Pilot to gunner, target acquired. Fire at will ... I say again, fire at will. I'll donate $100 in pizza to the first member of the IDF who terminates this bastard.

Another Reason To Hate France!

A controversial French (spit) lawyer has been hired to defend Saddam Hussein. Jacques Verges, who defended Klaus Barbie, Carlos The Jackal and Slobodan Milosevic says "a fair trial for Hussein would be impossible". Yep, and what's your point, Monsieur Verges? There are hundreds of thousands of mass graves in Iraq and we've all seen in living color the results of Hussein's torture chambers and genocide. Maybe Monsieur Verges thinks Saddam should have tried harder to cover up his crimes so he could get a "fair trial" later.

Nuke! Nuke!

The North Koreans are saying they will reject the US demand to scrap its nuclear programs. The official radio broadcast further stated "The present situation on the Korean peninsula remains dangerous owing to the reckless moves of the U.S. war hawks and their followers to unleash a war of aggression against the D.P.R.K. so that a nuclear war may break there anytime". You got that right, little buddies. The US and South Koreans are currently in a defence posture and no nuclear weapons are on South Korean soil -- but that can change on a moment's notice unless you freaks wise up and stop seeing a US "bogeyman" coming to get you. Listen up: We couldn't care less about your little pissant country. You have nothing we want. So shut the f**k up and sit down. And stop threatening us with nuclear weapons or else you may find a 20-megaton mushroom cloud over Pyongyang, after all.

Super-Size That Mastercard!

McDonald's recently decided to stop "super-sizing" fries and add salads to stop the growing obesity epidemic in America. Which was probably a good idea since most Americans can't seem to push themselves away from the table and get some freaking exercise now and then. But now, Mickey-D's has decided to start accepting credit cards and debit cards at all of its stores. Let's examine this formula: (a) you decrease the sizes of the portions and then (b) you let customers buy on credit so they can buy more. Yep, I think I got all that. It doesn't take a "Sixth Sense" to say "I see fat, lazy people". Pardon me, but I'm going out for a walk ... and not to McDonald's, thank you very much.

Please Don't Go, Ol' Yeller!

Before I go, I have to pass along this article from the Village Voice by Richard Goldstein which discusses "Petaphilia", which is a new word to describe someone who wants to have sex with their pet. Key quote: "Why can't we have marriages between people and pets?" the bishop of Brooklyn recently remarked. -- The "slippery slope" indeed. Lassie, come home!

Italian Justice!

Finally, speaking of pets, in Italy you better not even think of kicking your dog. It's against the law. And if you're a politician you better not make fun of your opponent's fat butt. Also illegal -- even if your opponent is a fat freak who dines at McDonald's Italia. Threatening your mother-in-law in Italy can also land you in jail. All this from the country that gave us the Mafia?

Outsourcing For Dummies

Dummycrat candidate John Kerry has jumped on the "jobs lost overseas" bandwagon and is playing that tune for all it's worth lately. He promises to generate 10 million new jobs when he is elected President and blames President Bush for allowing America to lose 3.8 million jobs since he took office. Utter rubbish, on both counts. The haughty, aristocratic, French-looking Kerry (who served in Vietnam) is using the same lines (lies) on the American people that he used on two female millionaires to get his hands on their money - and his ultimate goal is to get his hands on your money also - with tax increases.

Mortimer Zuckerman at US News & World Report had an excellent article on outsourcing recently (US News, March 22-29, p. 96) that even a liberal Dummycrat could understand. OK, I exaggerate. Liberal Dummycrats don't understand logic and think that truth is something that should be prevented, not practiced. For the benefit of you more intelligent life-forms out there, here are excerpts from Mr. Zuckerman's article.

Lower prices and high quality, of course, are what American consumers expect. They're not thinking about paying a higher price in order to keep jobs in America, and this gives retailers little leeway in product sourcing, whether the products are made in China or South Carolina.

Yep, Americans definitely don't want to pay any more than we have to. It's called being intelligent.

Now outsourcing is talked about as a national disaster, but we forget that it brings lower prices, which beget lower inflation, which begets an increase in the real purchasing power of people with relatively stagnant wages. It also begets lower interest rates, which beget higher investment and economic growth and lower mortgage rates.

Got all that? If not, read it again. Cheaper goods from overseas means we get to keep more of our money, which keeps inflation down as well as keeping our economy robust. Wages may not be going up but goods are cheaper which means we win in the long run.

And according to a McKinsey Global Institute study, for every dollar a U.S. company spends on outsourcing, our economy gains $1.14.

Do the math, folks. Based on the previous paragraph, that could have easily been predicted.

Four and a half million Americans work for European companies here; a million-plus work in companies involved in global trade. And foreign companies are continuing to invest in America, despite our higher wages. Look at the auto sector, with plants like Mercedes-Benz, Honda, BMW, and Toyota. And check out foreign investment in our financial services, pharmaceutical, chemical, and energy companies. They're all growing.

Bet you forgot all about that, didn't you? We've seen unprecedented investment in America over the last twenty years. Foreign companies are building plants here in the US all the time. Why? Because, even with higher wages, they know Americans have the highest productivity rate in the world as well as the largest pool of skilled, professional labor. In other words, Americans get all the best jobs. Before you moan about high-tech jobs lost overseas to India, Taiwan and Korea, take note of the fact that the high-tech jobs that have been outsourced overseas so far have mostly been help desk and support positions, typically the lowest paid high-tech professionals. There are still plenty of jobs for programmers, analysts, designers, network and database administrators in this country. Don't believe it? Check out Monster or Dice anytime.

The fuss over outsourcing must not be allowed to obscure the real reason for our disappointing job and wage numbers. It's productivity. Increase in output per worker has, until recently, exceeded growth in the gross domestic product. This means fewer jobs, including 800,000 management and executive positions in the past four years--jobs that would not be outsourced to Bangladesh.

Like I said, we've increased productivity - each worker is accomplishing more and companies are free to cut jobs that are not longer needed. If advances in manufacturing techniques and other productivity enhancing practices mean one worker can do the work of two, why should a company keep two people on the job. Re-train one of them in another area and move on.

Jobs moved from the Northeast to the South, then moved abroad, always accompanied by predictions of doom. We feared the migration of our industries to Japan in the 1950s and 1960s, OPEC's buying the world in the 1970s, and the giant sucking sound of
jobs going to Mexico in the 1990s. But every time, we have been able to adapt, creating new industries and jobs that never existed while we abandoned others.

In other words, we've seen this before and it always turned out to be false prophesies of doom. This time the Dummycrats are using it to try to win an election though. They're blowing smoke up your skirt, folks. They're playing the "fear factor" to get your vote.

Protectionism is an easy call, but it's a delusional one. The Democrats are demagoguing the issue in the hope it will produce votes. They may be right, but it is economic nonsense. Most Americans, I believe, will be wise enough to see that.

Well .... are you going to fall for this economic muckadoo from the Liberal Dummycrats and John "F'ing" Kerry? Speak up, America! Are you as stupid as the Dummycrats think you are? I can't HEAR you ......

World War IV - Part I of IV

This is the first of a four-part series on World War IV - The Arab Wars. Part I is titled "Declaration Of War - 1973 to 1974". I will attempt to encapsulate the beginnings of this war we find ourselves engaged in. It is a war that began in 1973 and has steadily escalated to the point where the US is being attacked on our own shores and our allies are being attacked in their countries as well. In just thirty years the Arab states have managed to drive a wedge betwen the US and our European allies, unleashed terrorist attacks on the West, held the entire world up for blackmail with inflated oil prices .... and have gotten away with it - with assistance from the US media and the Democratic Party.

Rainy Day

It's Friday, the day at the office is winding down and rain has been coming down all day. Outside on break, I saw worms crawling up onto the concrete pad of the entranceway to dry off.

I decided to become an artiste. I'm sure Andy Warhol and the guy who painted the iceberg red had a similar flash of inspiration. So I wrote a poem to the worms on the concrete. Now all I have to do is convince some loony publisher how "important" and "avante garde" this new artiste (c'est moi) really is. I present to you this epic of modern poetry:

Rain is coming down,
Soaking up the ground,
A softly silent sound,
Makes the world go round.

Elmo is a worm,
Elmo loves to squirm,
In dirt when it is firm,
Knowing not his term.

Inching up to me,
Elmo strains to see,
This giant above he,
That really is just me.

When out of the blue,
A mighty size-twelve shoe,
Makes Elmo turn to goo.
What did you expect?

Finally finished

Yep! I finally got off my lazy ass (or should I say, SAT on my lazy ass) and finished updating my bicycling web site. It had been almost three years and I just recently realized all my email links on that site were outdated.

So it is now current. Plus I changed a couple of other things. Soon I will be adding new pages dealing with my trips to Antarctica, New Zealand, Australia and Fiji.

Bored? Got little to do right now? Do as I do, grab a bottle of scotch........(yep, that's me in my post-Air Force, not cutting my hair again for a long time, look)



Then go here.

Tell your friends about it, too! Especially your cycling friends!

Chutzpah

DummyCrat candidate John "F'ing" Kerry said last night that "the US deserves a truthful leader".

Kerry actually had the audacity to make this remark while on the same stage with Bill "I Did Not Have Sex With That Woman" Clinton.

Jimmy "Peanuts" Carter and Al "Dangling Chad" Gore were also there (and approved of Kerry's remark).

I think I'm going to be ill.

Snip Snip

According to a study in the Lancet journal, circumcised men are six times less likely to contract the HIV virus (AIDS) than men who are not "snipped".

Key quote: "They believe this may be because the foreskin contains cells that the virus specifically targets."

Now you know.

And Then There Were Eight ….

Alabama 80
Syracuse 71

More March Madness here.

YGTBSM!!!!

For those who do not know, it stands for, "You've got to be shittin' me!"

Straight from the halls of "let's blame something other than our lazy selves for being a bunch of fat asses, we get this little gem: 'FRUCTOSE SWEETENER BLAMED FOR OBESITY RISE!"

UHHH! DUHHH!!! Could it be that the fact we are consuming more corn syrup is not necessarily related to the actual act of having the corn syrup in our foods but the fact that we are a bunch of fast food eatin', soda drinkin' slobs who don't know how to practice self control in our dietary habits? Give me a fucking break!

If corn syrup were responsible for obesity why is it I have basically weighed the same (within 3-5%) of my weight the past 20 years? If I were to believe these assclown moonbats, I'd be overweight right now and looking for a lawyer to sue somebody.

It saddens me to drive or walk by young kids today who are intent on wearing flesh exposing clothes exposing (as if they had no pride) FLAB! Rolls and rolls of it.

And these are YOUNG kids!! Imagine what behemoths they'll be when they are middle aged? And we wonder why health care costs so much? These people would rather take a pill than practice self control and engage in a little physical activity. They demand the drug companies come up with a wonder pill and then bitch about how expensive it is. All the while they're snarfing down like pigs at a trough, never walking but driving everywhere; never taking the time to make their own healthy meals but stopping at McD's, KFC, Pizza Hut, Wendy's; always eating until they are stuffed--and then bitching about having "heartburn" and demanding their insurance companies pay for heartburn medicine so they can continue to eat like slobs.

Think about it: people super-size their orders, put the feed bag on at buffets, sit in front of TVs for hours at a time all the while either munching something or drinking something. How about those super duper 7-11 type 84 oz sodas? And how many times do you drive by others in their cars and they're sucking on some bottle of something or other or chowing down? Maybe YOU do it!!! For Christ's sake, can't they wait until they get home? Is their thirst or hunger so pervasive and all consuming they can not exercise restraint?

Here's a crock off crap quote from a "professor" of nutrition at the University of North Carolina:

"We cannot increase our physical activity enough to offset the extra 200 calories a day Americans are consuming"

Well, how about consuming LESS of the product that has the sweetener, you malignantly stupid twit?

But just like that commercial touting weight loss which says that it's not your fault you are fat, this "STUDY" attempts to blame the corn syrup. Go figure! What a load of shit!

Art?

Monet, Matisse, Van Gogh, Renoir - all must be rolling over in their graves. Artists nowadays simply fling feces on a canvas and call it art. Or else they go to Greenland and throw red paint all over an iceberg, calling it "art".

This is not art. It is an attempt by the lazy to thrill the gullible. Where have all the real artists gone? It's a sure bet they are not with the current leftist, anti-establishment artiste culture that tries to sell us this crap as art. Further proof that liberals are not as creative as some would make you think.
