Judge blocks name of player who cheated on wife, MSM knickers in a twist. Boo-Hoo

The headline reads:

Courts mask football star who cheated on his wife.

As usual, no amount of searching on my part and it’s been a long time, finds the damn link to the story. Written by the Telegraph’s “Chief Reporter, it says in print. However, they don’t have the story on line that I can find.  But never mind.  It’s only a line or two by the media and disingenuous lawyers that have me seeing red.

Ok so another guy in sports has cheated.  So?  Outside of nothing more then prurient interest, who really cares? 

When the Woods story was all over the place some weeks ago, there was good reason for BMEWS to mostly ignore the boring tale. Or is that last word spelled another way?  Thing is, how many folks really care about that stuff?

Well, here’s the story with another player, unknown and un-named by court order. And that’s the story. The court order blocking the press from naming him publicly under “human rights” laws.

Newspapers and their lawyers naturally enough have accused the courts of restricting free speech and oh naturally let us never forget the words carved in stone.  The public right to know.  Oh BS!  The lawyers are saying it’s “a privacy law through the back door.” Well good and it’s time has come.  I doubt it’ll last but good for now.
Some may not agree and see this as some sort of first step down a slippery slope. Right?  Well now, here is their argument and I know you will see how bogus it is.
Who are these lawyers and media think they are kidding?  Surely ppl are not really this stupid.  Some yeah, I understand that.  Just those who can’t see thru this hype.

Here’s a tiny bit of what the paper had to say. It’s this line I take so much issue with.

Many sportsmen are able to earn vast sums from image rights and advertising by exploiting their clean-cut public persona.

I say BS to that.  It isn’t true.  What is being exploited is their action on the playing field.  The runs scored or tackles made or passes received or completed or goal posts defended and even bones broken and don’t fans just love to see some of these tough guys get into a scrap.  If someone just happens to have this clean cut image it’s just luck or maybe the real deal but that is not what the fans necessarily pay for.  Dick Butkus once said in an interview that when he hit someone, he wanted them to know they’d been hit by Dick Butkus. And once hit by him they generally stayed down.  I’d seen him play once or 2wice all those years ago.  It’s the rough and tumble of the game and the overpaid guys who perform that get those adverts and endorsements.  Not their image as boy scouts.

Finally, why should the public have any “right” to know who cheats on who and who really cares?  Are we any better off if we do know who this particular player is? 

For once can’t the papers just say out loud, coz we wanna sell papers and sex always sells!  That’s all this is really about.  This argument reminds me of those stores that open on Christmas and Thanksgiving proudly declaring that they are only open for, our convenience. Oh BS again.  That’s crap and everyone knows exactly why they are open. But by saying something else, they really believe the public buys it.  They think we’re all that stupid.
Either that or they think their only customers are liberals. Hmmm. Could be.

A snapshot to help take your minds off my problems.  What? Me Worry?

I am only posting this photo of Lady Kitty Spencer, niece of the late Lady Di, to help take your evil minds off my post and it’s problems.  Also because I saw her photo today and walked into a door while looking at the paper I had in my hand at the time.  Also cos I miss my yoot. Bah.
I liked her photo better in blk & wht and so changed it.  FOR THOSE WHO PREFER A LARGER COLOR PIX GO HERE

A TERRIBLE TALE OF WOE

On Dec.24 I had an Endoscopy where they found nothing in the tummy which is good, but they spotted something they referred to as a “node” in another area.  So they said I needed to see another specialist, an ENT surgeon.  They would make the appointment for me and I will be notified.  STILL WAITING to hear something and so that’s frustrating. Which brings me to this.

Had to see the doc last week as I think the aspirin even tho coated is upsetting stomach. I never had an aspirin problem before but the problem could be the damn cough which is on and off again.  Now that cough has been with me for two years at least.  It isn’t continous as in all day, but it’s pretty bad enough when it happens. And it’s painful with regard to chest and stomach. But the doctors have been stumped all this this time trying to figure it all out. X-Ray after X-Ray and nothing.  Gee, I may take up smoking again. After all, if it took 38 years to catch up to me the first time and I got well, at my age since I don’t have another 38 years I’m damn sorry to say, what’s ta worry about?.  Oh what the hell, at almost $10.00 a pack I doubt I’d start again anyway. Are you smokers back home paying almost 10 bucks a pack now?  I saw some Lucky Strikes at £5.67 a pack the other day, and that’s close to ten American I think. Well nine anyway.

Meanwhile, my doctor ( remember him?) had finally given in and allowed me the Codeine based medication that stops but doesn’t cure said cough.  After all this time one doc reading the report re. the “node” thinks that could be the cause of the cough because of where it’s located .  So nobody thought to suggest an ENT surgeon even a year ago.  The first person to suggest to me that I should mention ENT to my doctor, was a nurse.  Do nurses know more then the docs?  I’m beginning to believe that they do. 

So back to aspirin.  Doc takes me off that and give me something called Persantin which I’m supposed to take 2wice a day.  One side effect of that is headache.  IN SPADES!  It’s supposed to go away after awhile, but nobody has told me how long “awhile” is, and added to that, the construction next door has now moved on to the stone cutters.  Like serious stuff guys.
Listening to hour after hour of brick and tile and cinder block being sawed, and hammers on pipes in between and even WORSE if you can imagine it. Worse? What could be worse?

Well, one of the guys and not a youngster either, tries to sing along with the radio they have outside. Actually, he shouts it more then sings it.  As a person (me) who has worked in recording studios and worked with talented ppl, I can tell you this fellow can not sing. He couldn’t hold a tune if you gave him a bag to put it in. So between that and the damn buzz saw, (is that a buzz saw?) and this damn headache that wants me to remove my head, I am a very frustrated person today.
But having read the papers, I am also a very lucky one. Very lucky indeed.

It is sunny but freezing outside.  I think I’ll go for a short walk.

Stay Tuned.

I let the darndest things annoy me. Thing is, I find it impossible to tolerate the warmists.

OUR LIFESTYLES ARE KILLING PEOPLE IN AFRICA AND ASIA

So says this ridiculous idiot devotee of the new church of green.

He says the inconvenient truth is that our lifestyles are indeed killing other people.
Yeah? Well maybe they’re overpopulated anyway and frankly you flake, I don’t give a damn!

I won’t copy his entire letter, too damn much there and sorry there isn’t a link to it. It’s a letter to the editor and those folks printed this utter balderdash.

He says,

It is in African countries like Kenya and Asian countries like Bangladesh, that people are dying prematurely as a direct result of of climate change from greenhouse gas emissions of the people in developed counties.

The damn fool goes on:
Reductions in the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the lifestyles and consumption patterns are the cause and that,

It is now widely understood that that the sooner cuts in emissions are made, the lower the costs of moving to a low carbon society are likely to prove to be.

The stupid idiot then gives this address:
http://www.winacc.org.uk and he btw is the chairman of The Winchester Action on Climate Change.

He says of our recent severe snow storm and cold snap that “global warming does not abolish winter. “ Maybe not but it sure was colder this year then last and last year was NOT warm either.
He wants us all to reduce our “carbon footprints” sooner, not later.  Screw him.  I want HIM to CONSERVE so there will be MORE for ME.

He also doesn’t think that Hampshire (our county) residents are doing the right thing fast enough.

Inconvenient truth is, they should not be doing anything at all.

OK so I read his damn letter and the more I thought about it the more frustrated I got because he assumes he has the word from on high and with evangelistic zeal he expects everyone to fall into line.  In spite of the recent comments by other scientists that say the issue is NOT closed.

So I wrote this.

GORE’S GREEN LACKEYS

This little island and people like Mr. Robert Hutchison of WinCAA , believe they are going to save the planet as they rush to bend the knee to their new religion, The Holy Church of Climate Change and Global Warming.
The silly extremes they go to as they genuflect before pope bore and the new faith and what they achieve, amount to no more then a flea on an elephant’s ass, though they would have us believe otherwise.

It is delusional to think that the vast majority of people throughout Europe and the UK, all buy into every edict demanded by the grasping self congratulatory powers that be .  Many of those who feel that not everything is exactly right and do their bit i.e. recycling etc, do not buy into the doomsday scenario as preached by the new church and Robert H.

A full year before the EU dictated that all member states must stop manufacture and sales of those old nice bright 100watt light bulbs, millions of people started buying and hoarding them.  Even that most politically correct and green loving state, Germany, led Europe in the rush to collect the old and more favored light bulb in spite of the opposition of Gore’s Green Lackeys in that country.  Clearly, a majority of the people prefer the older type but majorities do not matter much in the new age of the green and pc world dictatorship.

Meanwhile back in happy slap, binge drunk England, a newspaper called The Daily Mail, which is a conservative paper, started a silly campaign to ban plastic shopping bags.  One village has already happily announced to the world that they are, “Plastic Bag Free,” Mein Fuehrer, to the applause of The Mail who proudly announce victory in our time, over plastic.  Ignoring of course that these bags are 100% degradable.
However, it is very important to show the few fanatical faithful who dominate the majority, their religious devotion to the new church.

Following in the path of the paper, and in an effort to increase their profit margins, many a business is making a public display of their conversion to the new faith.

Back at the ranch however, manufacturers continue to package their products in impossibly difficult to open non-degradable multiple plastic.
But hey, who’s looking at that?

Holy Cow, Boy

I guess I could write more on this topic from time to time! It sure is more fun than another darn go round of politics in Washington DC.

So, tell me, if a whole bunch of visitors from Instapundit is an Instalanche, does a big group of cowpokes riding in qualify as a Stampede?

Thanks for stopping by!

BMEWS In Lockdown

BMEWS is getting spambotted. This is a bad thing.

I have deleted all pending memberships. I have deleted the last dozen or so new members, except for the 2 I know are real people.  I have disabled the new member registration link. I have disabled the new member registration process, for spambots that collect links.

If you are one of those new members who got the axe, sorry!, send me an email with your information - screen name, user name, email, etc., and I will put you back in manually. Please include a bit of conversational text so that I can tell you are a real person. I will give you a password which you can then change yourself on log-in.

If you want to sign on as a new member, send me an email. Your name, the screen name and user name you want, any pertinent info. Please put in a bit of conversational text so that I can tell you are a real person.

[ Drew, what is “conversational text”? Well, once upon a time, there was this strange activity called “writing a letter”. People would “write about” things in those “letters”, such as their feelings about recent news events, their reaction to blog posts, etc. I think this used to be called “the personal touch”. Try it! If you are really, truly stumped for something to say, just read the chem_nerd graffitti below, and put that in the email instead. ]

I hope this is just temporary.

Yes, I could figure out how to do one of those verify thingies in the comments, like Vilmar alluded to, and I will if I have to. I’m hoping that a couple weeks of no access will make these bastards go away.

UPDATE: and we have our first manually entered member. Actually, he’s an old, old, member who left us for a while. But now he’s back, so it should be fine. I’m sure you remember ...

Well, the weather guy said SNOW and I though, NAH. He’s almost always wrong. Not this time.

It was snowing last night when I shut down (thinking btw that I had FFox fixed.NOT) Well it’s still snowing.  No big deal to folks who live on the east coast like CT,NJ,NY etc.  Or Mont or the mountains of Calif. this time of year.  But this kind of snow is a mite much for this part of England and things have a tendency to grind to a halt.  Our milk delivery came last night at around 9pm instead of the usual 5 to 6am.  No newspapers delivered so far this morning. Would have been nice to have em on a day like this.  So I thought I’d share the photos I took about an hour ago at 9am. Nothing arty. Just snow.

That’s our front and part of the driveway.

That’s our house.  It just occurs to me. I should have left a few lights on in the area of the porch. And upstairs too. Might look better. Next time.

membership issues

Ok, this adampastec guy, or whatever name he was using, is gone. I have deleted an active user. First time ever. But I’m 99.8% certain that this was a spambot.

Fair Warning: If your comments are little more than linked advertising for your product line, your account will be deleted. If you want advertising, go buy some.

I have to think up a better way of adding members. Maybe I should have them send me an actual email request. I went with the automated system because it’s so much easier; we get dozens of applications a day. I have plenty of work to do, thanks. I can’t sit around being the secretary here. But it is a tempting solution.

And it’s hard to run through the list and just snip off the pending applications that don’t look right. There are lots of oddball urls out there these days that are completely valid. “attentionseekingdevice.com” is the site one of our newer members emails from. It’s an odd page, under construction I think, but it’s valid.

I wish I could just ban .ru and gmail accounts. 90+% of the crap comes from them. And ban seemingly crazy user names like “asdf9876j”. We actually have several members with those kind of user names or those email servers, and they’ve not been any kind of problem.

However, I have detected that applications from “7mail” are bogus. Especially when their dumbot makes 3 different attempts in a group every 37 hours. Bye bye!

I really don’t want to have to put in one of those “security word” thingies. And I despise the kind of comment system that forces you to choose from a small set of “professional membership groups” like Google Accounts. No, I’d rather allow my members the freedom to sign up personally. Just as long as they don’t abuse my system by dumping advertising links on the rest of us.

A reply to Argentium G. Tiger and Drew

This came up in my previous post Et Tu? Warner Bros?

Tiger, as far as I know, you have the right to do whatever you want to a DVD that you purchase, as long as you aren’t selling (or even giving away, perhaps) the end product that you have created. Sounds like you’re making a backup copy of the data with some extra editing. I don’t see a problem

So says Drew. Frankly, I agree with him. But is it legal? Here’s the FBI Anti-Piracy Warning:

Please note the phrase ‘infringement without monetary gain’.

Granted, the likelihood of you getting caught making ‘backup copies’ of dvds that you own is low. However, the dvd in question is a rental from Netflix. I do not own it. So it would be most inappropriate for me to do anything resembling what Tiger suggested.

Personally, as for Tiger mentioning what software he uses, I’d have said nyet. Those who want to skirt copyright laws should do what I and presumably Tiger have done: your own research. Quietly and privately.

BTW, none of Tiger’s software work for Macs.

Greyjohn: ‘Sufferin’ Succotash’ was the trademark of Snagglepuss, a Hanna-Barbera character, not a Warner Bros/Looney Tunes character. Last time I rented a Hanna-Barbera cartoon dvd (Snagglepus, Yogi Bear, Boo Boo, etc) it was interesting for a completely different reason:

The Hanna-Barbera cartoons included the commercials. Yogi Bear was extolling the virtues of Post Honey Comb cereal, among other things.

We’re 98! We’re 98!

Actually, I’m happy BMEWS made the list at all.

Click on over to Bombs and Dollars.

As a resource to my readers and others who are interested in exploring new blogs, I have assembled my personal list of my favorite conservative blogs. I took a lot of factors into consideration, including: influence, entertainment value, information-value, frequency and regularity of updates, and personal interest.

These are my own rankings of blogs that I follow, and I know I missed some, so I apologize for those I missed, but I did the best I could. Enjoy:

H/T Linkiest.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled BMEWSment.

MUCH GOOD WISHES ON HIS BIRTHDAY TO THE GUY WHO KEEPS US GOING. HAPPY B.DAY, DREW

Have to feel bad for Drew after reading his latest.  What a hassle.  I hope this isn’t inappropriate given his circumstances BUT ...

It is Drew’s Birthday today and I don’t think wishing him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY can do any harm.

Missed the snail mail.
Unfortunately, although I had the date written down and after all, it is Armistice Day here in the UK. How hard is that to remember? I didn’t send Drew a snail mail card.  I remembered too late and what with the postal strike ..... So I’m making up for that by making a big deal out of it here on BMEWS.

I wanted to make things special to Drew and so ... from Fwance ....

None of you seeing this will know but.  The guy who keeps BMEWS running 24/7, the guy who fixes all the glitches that can and will pop up, owes it all to me.  Yup.  Everything Drew knows about tech thingy stuff he learned cos of me.
That’s because he was forced to consult with many tech manuals in order to answer all the damn questions I keep throwing at him, answers which I couldn’t find but he did.  And I still don’t understand most of it.

But enough blowing my own horn.  This is Drew’s day and I understand he’s 39 again.  I think that makes two years in a row now. Not a bad idea to find an age one likes and then stick to it.

I thought it might reasonable and not giving away any state secrets by listing a couple of Drew’s MAJOR interests in order of importance in case any of you would like to buy him a gift.  Here’s some choices to consider.

Enough of this frivolity.  Time for serious stuff.  I am making a resolution for this day, November 11th.  A resolution I fully intend to keep unless I happen to forget I made it and at my age that’s entirely possible.  My resolution is to not ask Drew any tech questions on any day that falls on November 11th. 

So then .... from me and I’m certain from all the folks at BMEWS .....

Can’t imagine what Major Malik Nadal Hasan’s motivation could have been.

I’ve had this in my inbox for a couple of days. Didn’t mean to ignore it and even though it may seem a rehash, actually it’s a pretty good read.
I don’t believe there’s a one of us here who would not agree.

Meanwhile, here counting hours till they wipe the stain of his miserable presence from the planet.  Of course I’m referring to that dark skinned fellow known as the DC sniper. Notice how well I control myself and haven’t used the dreaded ‘N’ word yet.  Even if that’s exactly what he happens to be.
I wish they’d only give the bastard enough to put him in a deep sleep, but then let him wake up in his coffin. Now that’d be justice. Won’t happen tho. Darn.

Hmm. Can’t imagine what Major Malik Nadal Hasan’s motivation could have been
November 8th, 2009
By james delingpole

Nor it seems can the liberal mainstream media.

I was watching BBC’s Newsnight when the story broke of a killing spree at a Texas military base and instantly wondered – as I’m sure did 99.99 per cent of its other viewers – whether this had anything to do with the Religion of Peace. Then a news update came in that the suspect’s name was ‘Hasan’. But the BBC’s reporter hastened to reassure us that there was “no evidence” to suggest this was an act of “terrorism”. Phew! Perish the unworthy thought.

Even today, the MSM is treading on eggshells regarding the killer’s possible motivation.

Here’s the Independent:

A motive for the shooting was hard to pin down last night. However, there were reports that Hasan, who was trained also in psychiatry and medicine in Bethesda, Maryland, was preparing for deployment to Iraq and was not happy to be going there. He had previously worked at the Walter Reed veterans hospital outside Washington.

Yeah, that would be it. You don’t want to be deployed to a combat zone so you do what any sane officer does under the circumstances. Not resign your commission obviously, but tool yourself up and take out a dozen a so of your unarmed comrades.

The BBC’s website takes a similar line, though it does at least (presumably in breach of all BBC guidelines) cheekily slip in the “M” word:

It is not clear what motivated the attacker, named as 39-year-old military psychiatrist Major Nidal Malik Hasan.

But some reports said the US-born Muslim was unhappy about being sent to Iraq or Afghanistan.

Interesting use of that word “unhappy”, mind.

The Guardian meanwhile, has a brave stab at the ‘trauma-crazed war vet goes tonto’ line, with the help of one of Hasan’s relatives:

One of Hasan’s cousins, Nader Hasan, told reporters the major was dreading going to war, having counselled scores of returning soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Next to the story, it provides a link to the story of another US veteran – Sergeant John Russell – who did just that, killing 5 of his comrades in May. Unfortunately, as it is forced to admit in a more detailed analysis, can’t have been traumatised by combat because, er….

He was not a soldier returning from deployment in either Iraq or Afghanistan, suffering from stress or combat fatigue. Hasan, although 39 years old, has never served in a war zone.

But that doesn’t stop the Guardian speculating desperately:

Instead, his horror of war came secondhand. He was a psychiatrist who listened to the harrowing stories of his comrades at the Walter Reed Hospital in Washington DC, and latterly at Fort Hood, Texas.

Ah yes that will be it. A bit like passive smoking, the Major was suffering from passive combat stress.

My favourite example of liberal squeamishness, though, comes from the New York Times. Sure towards the bottom of its report, it manages to slip in such not-altogether-irrelevant details as Hasan’s former imam’s claim that he was “very serious about his religion” (so much so that he hadn’t been able to find a sufficiently fundamentalist wife) and that a man with the same name as him was under investigation from the FBI for putting up enthusiastic postings on a Jihadist website about the joys of suicide bombing.

But not before having first blamed those far more likely causes – white racism…

But Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the 39-year-old man accused of Thursday’s mass shooting at Fort Hood, Tex., began having second thoughts about a military career a few years ago after other soldiers harassed him for being a Muslim, he told relatives in Virginia.

And, yes, of course, that old favourite – passive combat stress:

Having counseled scores of returning soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder, first at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington and more recently at Fort Hood, he knew all too well the terrifying realities of war, said a cousin, Nader Hasan. “He was mortified by the idea of having to deploy,” Mr. Hasan said. “He had people telling him on a daily basis the horrors they saw over there.”

Bloggy Stuff

I deleted another 300 or so fake membership applications.

Remember, if you want to join the gang here, you fill out the form and supply a real email. We email you an activation code thingy, get it, click it, and you are good to go. You get 30 days to respond, even though I think it says 2 weeks. Whatever. I go in there and take out the trash whenever I get there. Anything old gets tossed.

And please ... you spambots out there? Please find more realistic dummy names than slextipclkw at gmail dot com, or plwexmiqk7 at wer987 dot ru. It’s beyond lame.  You’re not fooling anyone. Same goes for the sexbot apps. MisoHawny at ruvurontime dot com isn’t going to pass muster.

Christopher - we now have the category “family”. I edited you post so that one will be the first entry. Email me with the categories you think we can do without. Thanks.



Ooooh, look, blog stats!

Helm reports “Steady as she goes” sir!

What the above graph shows is that BMEWS continues to get about 1000 visits a day. Those of you who allow cookies on your PCs are counted as returning traffic. Those of you, like me, who wipe out cookies on a constant basis are shown as direct traffic. Only about 16% of the visits here are from search engine hits, with a very low percentage of web spiders and other automated gizmos. So this is quite cool actually. It means we have a very regular crowd. Love it. And hey, thanks for stopping by.

The spike in that graph in early February ‘09 was for our most popular post ever, the “Obama as ShamWow Guy” graphic that Rancino sent in. That made us famous. Famouser! Seriously, Google up “Shamwow Moonbat”; it goes on for 2 pages! We even got linked by Michelle Malkin, Daily Pundit, and quite a number of other big blogs. We were good in that post, and linked back to the source. The creator of that graphic has emailed me several times, amazed at the traffic it still generates. ShamWow Obama went viral after that, and was put up at many other sites. All thanks to Rancino. You rock, man.

Our #2 post is the one Peiper put up about the guy who makes model cars from beer cans.

And I still get hits for that rant I dropped on the RNC when they called up asking for money ... “Drew at Barking Moonbat Early Warning System was in a foul mood as he took a call from a guy with the Republican party while he was doing his taxes… ...”

So that’s that. We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

“ACTIVISTS” STOP SALE OF HALLOWEEN OUTFIT COS IT OFFENDS ALIENS. SOME ANYWAY.

News from the bastion of free speech .... the USA.

OK, a tad snarky but another one of those damn stories that make me wonder how long we have.

So, a group that represents foreigners can decide what stores should sell and EVEN online stuff faces bans.

What’s the big deal?

An illegal alien Halloween costume has been withdrawn from sale in Los Angeles after an immigrant rights group called it “offensive.”

COMMIE LIBTARD SOURCE FOR MORE

Seems the executive director of this mouthful, The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, says the costume is “distasteful, mean spirited and ignorant.

I’ve seen things far more distasteful then this silly (and funny) costume.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

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

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
