British Declare War on US

Well, it’s not really a declaration of war exactly but you couldn’t be faulted for thinking the Redcoats are a-coming again .... with good reason this time, it seems. Malcolm Glazer, owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is trying to buy Manchester United, the pride of British “football” (that’s soccer for you Yanks out there). Quite understandably, the Brits are up in arms (at least they would be if their liberal government hadn’t banned all ownership of guns by citizens) ....

As far as anyone can tell, Mr. Glazer, 76, has never been to a Manchester United game, or possibly even to any soccer game. Which might not be so surprising, according to his sister Maria. “He has never liked sports,” she told The Daily Mail.

And then, of course, Mr. Glazer, who made his fortune in real estate and investing and has owned the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League since 1995, is an American.

So the news that Mr. Glazer - a man said to know so little about any kind of football that he once cheered for the wrong side during a Buccaneers game - was buying their beloved team was bound to upset Manchester United fans. It is as if a Japanese tycoon had suddenly swooped in and bought up the Yankees, using millions of dollars of borrowed money.

“No offense, but it just smacks of imperialism,” said John Marchant, a 28-year-old advertising executive and Manchester United fan, walking past the team’s Old Trafford stadium the other day. His indignation accelerated from 0 to 60 in the space of a single sentence. “He stands for everything that’s bad about globalization.”

I Nominate The Japanese For The Nobel Prize

The Nobel Prize is almost not good enough for what the Japanese invented last year. They deserve no less than a huge “thank you” from all of mankind ....

Self-Cooled Beer Kegs Kirin Brewery Co. will begin test sales July 15 of a draft beer product contained in a self-cooling keg that does not need electricity or cooling devices. The testing will be conducted at selected liquor stores in Tokyo through the end of this year (2003) ahead of a planned nationwide launch of the product in 2004, the beer maker said. The keg, to be imported from Germany, will contain 5 liters of draft Kirin Ichiban Shibori. The suggested retail price of the product is 2,620 yen, but consumers will have to pay an additional 2,000 yen for the keg, which will be refunded when they return the container.

Red States & Blue States

With a little orange thrown in for good measure. Here are the poll results from Britain’s election yesterday. It looks kinda like the US election map in a way. Blair’s Labour Party took the large cities and major industrial centers while Conservatives won the vote out in the country. Of course, Scotland and Wales went for the Liberal Democrats for some strange reason ....

Tony Blair Wins Again!

Huzzzzzzaaahhh! It looks like Tony Blair is back in Britain’s “Number 10 Downing Street” for another four years.

Yeah, Brits! Stick with us, kids. We’ll show you the way to a better, safer world ....

Monday Morning News Bytes

Sometimes the news bites and somedays it just bytes. Or nybbles. Either way it’s the little bits that give us the big picture .. eight bits at a time ....

• MSNBC is changing its name to “NBC News Channel”. They’re taking out the “MS” and replacing it with more “BS”.


• Terry Wilson of the Weekly Standard has the obituary for the mainstream media. Alas, poor Yorick - I news him well.


• The Republican Chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is ripping PBS a new one for being so liberal and biased. Naturally, the New York Times has its knickers in a wad over the “blatant bias by Republicans”. Bias? What bias? Republicans just naturally hate liars, race-baiters, hypocrites and media outlets with a socialist agenda.


• Paris Hilton says she wants to stop being a sex-starved, drug-overdosed, party animal (and sleazy slut) and become a serious businesswoman. You assignment is to figure out what this news has to do with flying pigs.


• North Korea is now firing missiles toward Japan to intimidate that great bully, the United States. If “Dear Leader” Kim Jong Il doesn’t watch his step he won’t “feel so ronery” much longer, especially after several flights of B-52’s flatten his country to the ground.


• Open warfare between the Poodle and the Hildabeast? It seems the 2008 election is already dividing the Dummycraps - what else is new, eh?


• Question: What’s worse than a Democrat without a conscience? Answer: A Republican without a spine. Both are in abundance in Washington, DC lately.


• Finally, President Bush called the Democrats’ bluff on Social Security last week. This may not be checkmate but the Donks are seeing the endgame approach ....

The Solvency Trap
President Bush calls the Democrats’ bluff on Social Security.

Monday, May 2, 2005 12:01 a.m. EDT

Give President Bush credit for tenacity. Facing nearly total Democratic opposition and low poll numbers, he nonetheless raised the ante on Social Security last week. The President embraced “progressive indexing” of benefits, in the hope of breaking up the political logjam.

As a policy matter, this at least challenges Democrats to honor their own principles. For months they’ve been saying they really do want to do something about Social Security “solvency,” which means shoring up its inevitable financing shortfall. By adjusting the formula for future benefits based on income, Mr. Bush has now embraced the “fairness” claims that Democrats say they hold dear. So are they serious or not?

On first response, not. Democrats immediately opposed Mr. Bush’s proposal--the brainchild of Democratic financier Robert Pozen--as “big benefit cuts.” AARP lobbyist John Rother proved his organization’s lack of sincerity by calling it “an unnecessary and unfair benefit cut on the middle class.”

Sigh. As Daniel Patrick Moynihan and other Democrats once acknowledged, current policy increases real, inflation-adjusted benefits over time. That’s because benefits are tied to growth in wages, rather than to increases in prices (which rise somewhat more slowly). Though Democrats invoke FDR, this wasn’t his idea; guaranteed annual increases were introduced in 1972 as politicians of both parties competed for elderly votes. Reversing this blunder would still protect all seniors from inflation and also go a long way toward addressing Social Security’s financing shortfall.

But Mr. Bush is going further and proposing to keep wage-indexing for the bottom 30% of all workers, which means their benefits will actually increase by about 40% by the time they retire. Other workers would see more of their benefits price-indexed on a gradual basis as their income rose. And in any case, the indexing adjustment would apply only to the current program’s benefits; whatever higher returns workers get from private accounts would be theirs to keep. If Bill Clinton were the President proposing this, Democrats would be doing “fairness” cartwheels.

(thanks to Neal Boortz, Matt Drudge & James Taranto for the leads on these stories)

Monday Headlines

■ Iraqi President proposes illegal alien amnesty program. I guess blowing up people is now part of the guest worker incentive?

■ John Kerry just won’t quit whining about the last election. It sounds like Teresa has cut him off and he is just being grumpy.

■ Speaking of Teresa, she says teaching evolution is better than teaching creationism. She must have looked at her husband and seen a cheese-eating surrender monkey in his ancestry.

■ Tiger Woods is back in form, winning his fourth Masters. Four .... erh .... Fore!

■ Finally, what fine April day in St. Louis with beautiful sunshine and highs in the 80’s would be complete without the obligatory picture from Denver?

Foreign Moonbats

Remember Norway, home of that assmunch who accused us of being stingy?

Well, his government is run by a bunch of politically correct moonbats.  Well, we kinda knew that already but this one is REALLY special.

A Norwegian minister said that the government would CLOSE (that’s in shutter/bar/lock) the doors of companies that do not meet a minimum of 40% recruitment in women in their boardrooms by 2007.  And not only shut them; the government would LIQUIDATE their assets!!!!

In other words, they are taking away a woman’s right to choose to stay at home.

So is this how liberal socialism works?

Of course, the feminists will be cheering this ruling.  But it was never about “equal rights” after all, was it? It was always about activist rights.

Who the hell wants to live in a hellish place like that?  I hope Norwegian CEOs get smart and shut their doors now.  Maybe go to Ireland.  Then I’d like to see how they’d raise tax revenue to support their government dependant masses.

Going to Peru soon?

Don’t take a taxi or a bus.

Why?

many drivers have psychopathic tendencies

Like Rubbing Salt Into The Wound

Imagine yourself in Iraq right now.  Further imagine yourself being one of Saddam’s guards.

Now, just think of the warm, tingling feeling you’d get from knowing that it had to piss him off to no end to watch as a KURD got elected president of Iraq!

They ought to make him watch it 24/7 and videotape his reaction.

And then broadcast the film to the Iraqi public.

Oh, I forgot, the UN Human Rights commission would have its panties in a wad at this flagrant abuse of human rights.

International Snippets And Bits

International Snippets And Bits

The dead just keep on turning up---in Berlin---from 60 years ago.

German and Russian soldiers who died in a battle during WW II were found outside Seelow, Germany.

They expect to find thousands more.

Imagine that!  The French are good for something! If only the rest of the country were worth a crap!

In more French news, Amnesty International has its knickers in a twist because they think:

The French government ministers, judges and senior police officers are allowing members of the police force to use excessive and sometimes lethal force against suspects of Arab and African origin without fear of serious repercussions

Like.........we care? 

I know, two article that display the French is somewhat of a positive light---in one day.  Gotta be a first for BMEWS.

The article goes on to say:

The number of fatal shootings by police officers or gendarmes, in disputed circumstances, has declined in recent years, but complaints of ill-treatment have increased. Complaints about police conduct increased by 18.5 per cent in 2004.

Come on!  Really!  Give me a major league break here!  Considering how people whine about the littlest thing nowadays and considering these sheetheads are getting wise to the western judicial system that penalizes the white majority no matter if it is guilty or not, should we be surprised that complaints go up?  The ragheads KNOW they’ll get attention f they complain.

Amnesty International needs to go the way of the dodo bird.  Soon.

The Spanish are no slouches, too, when it comes to phenomenal stuff.

If only they weren’t a bunch of yellow bellies when it comes to terrorism.

Speaking of the Spanish, remember that bombing in Madrid by terrorists?

You know the Spanish judicial system solution for the detainees?  Turn them loose and ask them to come back once a week.

Yeah!  Right!  Sure they will.

But don’t hold your breath, judge.

Hat Tip: Phil

No????  Really???  Who’d Have Guessed?

Paris has slipped to number 8 of places people want to go to. First time ever.

“Experts” are saying it’s because people want to go elsewhere for their adventures.

I’d say the chickens have finally come home to roost.

French are notoriously arrogant and rude.  They look down their noses at anyone who does not speak perfect French.

I guess people got tired of that attitude and are going to where they are better treated.

Hey, when you have L.A., Thailand, and South Africa AHEAD of Paris it sure looks like tourists would rather take their chances with (look closely now) gang wars, drugs, shootings, assaults, racial violence and tsunamis then the pissant French.

It serves them right.  My memories of France are of rude people, small cars, dog shit on the sidewalks, and a nice shady area they made for the German soldiers in WW II.

This Is Serious Stuff

I found this on Michelle Malkin’s site. It deals with a HUGE scandal going on in Canada.

Why should we care, right?  It’s only Canada, after all.  It does not matter to us too much (although there are very nice people there, right Dan?)

But if you read the links Michelle provides you will see that there are SERIOUS implications for bloggers.

Captain Ed, at Captain’s Quarters, is right in the thick of it.

Take the time to follow them, follow the story, and understand the seriousness of what is going on relative to freedoms of the press, the internet, and bloggers.  We’re talking international implications regarding freedom of speech and who can link to whom (and who goes to jail for having done so.)

You should first go though Michelle’s postings and her quotes.  Then go read the other stuff.

This is disturbing crap.

For the hell of it, (and in a form of protest) here is the link to Captain’s Quarters. I’d like to see the weasel lawyers try anything.  FUCK THEM!!  Here’s another. Here’s one from Tim Worstall’s site.

From The “Blindingly Obvious” Department

British scientists (yes, let’s pick on the wetbacks and Brits today) concluded that nuclear waste need to either be stored underground or on the surface.

No!!!!!!!  Really?  Underground?  On the surface?  What other choices do we have?

Well.............................."Gee, I thought we could store it in the ocean.  You know, where all that salty corrosive water could eat away the containers?”

Or maybe “hey, let’s store it in space......where a rocket ship could suffer a breakdown, explode in flight and rain nuclear waste over half the planet?”

“I know, I know, let’s focus our karmic energy, meditate and make it go away by thinking it away!”

Am I missing something here or are these guys really that stupid?  Or is this just bad reporting?

Weird Crap

Only in England, I guess, can you have a Sex Festival and be forced to close it for lack of interest.

Weird royalty.

Bad sex.

Why does anyone continue to live there?

Around The World In Eighty Moonbats

■ Terri Schiavo’s body has now been cremated. Michael can relax .. the evidence has been destroyed.

■ Newly discovered finger-length blood-sucking catfish found in Amazon will be used to treat heart disease. No, really .. that is the punchline.

■ The man who shot the Pope in 1981 is grief-stricken over the Pontiff’s death. In a related story, the KGB says the “Pope File” is now officially closed.

■ In Pakistan, Islamic fundamentalists are protesting the participation of women in a 10km road race. Something to do with seeing their women in “knickers and t-shirts” just pisses these people off.

■ The Village Voice has the far, far, far, far Leftist view on Terri Schiavo. With the obligatory Bush-bashing, of course.

■ Seattle flooded with potent pot called “BC Bud” from British Columbia. In a related story, Microsoft employees in Redmond suffering shortage of twinkies and cheetos.

■ Tech-savvy pandas in China’s nature preserve now have broadband. Which explains our latest troll .. “Erasable A”.

■ Here’s how to pronounce Vladimir Putin’s last name correctly. Of course, the Fwench were the first to get it right .. it’s “POU-tyeen”, mon ami.

■ The Jamaican government is allocating $25 million to form the Jamaican Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO). Bob Marley’s ghost and four million ganja farmers rise up in protest.

That’s all for now! The annual Barking Moonbat migration is in full progress around the world!

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
