On This Day in History

1964 The U.S. space probe Ranger 7 transmitted pictures of the Moon’s surface.
1777 Marquis de Lafayette, 19, made major-general of Continental Army
1910 Chicago Cub King Cole no-hits St Louis, 4-0 in a 7 inning game (posted just for Cubcake fans)

1703 Daniel Defoe is put in the pillory

On this day, Daniel Defoe is put in the pillory as punishment for seditious libel, brought about by the publication of a politically satirical pamphlet.

Defoe's middle-class father had hoped Defoe would enter the ministry, but Defoe decided to become a merchant instead. After he went bankrupt in 1692, he turned to political pamphleteering to support himself. A deft writer, Defoe's pamphlets were highly effective in moving readers. His pamphlet The Shortest Way with Dissenters was an attack on High Churchman, satirically written as if from the High Church point of view but extending their arguments to the point of foolishness. Both sides of the dispute, Dissenters and High Church alike, took the pamphlet seriously, and both sides were outraged to learn it was a hoax. Defoe was arrested for seditious libel in May 1703. While awaiting his punishment, he wrote the spirited "Hymn to the Pillory." The public sympathized with Defoe and threw flowers, instead of the customary rocks, at him while he stood in the pillory.

He was sent back to Newgate Prison, from which Robert Harley, the future Earl of Oxford, obtained his release. Harley hired Defoe as a political writer and spy. To this end, Defoe set up the Review, which he edited and wrote from 1704 to 1713. It wasn't until he was nearly 60 that he began writing fiction. In 1719, The Life and Strange Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, Defoe's fictional account of a shipwrecked sailor who spent 28 years on a desert island, was published. His other works include Moll Flanders (1722) and Roxana (1724). He died in London in 1731.

1941 Goering orders Heydrich to prepare for the Final Solution

On this day in 1941, Herman Goering, writing under instructions from Hitler, ordered Reinhard Heydrich, SS general and Heinrich Himmler's number-two man, "to submit to me as soon as possible a general plan of the administrative material and financial measures necessary for carrying out the desired final solution of the Jewish question."

Goering recounted briefly the outline for that "final solution" that had been drawn up on January 24, 1939: "emigration and evacuation in the best possible way." This program of what would become mass, systematic extermination was to encompass "all the territories of Europe under German occupation."

Heydrich already had some experience with organizing such a plan, having reintroduced the cruel medieval concept of the ghetto in Warsaw after the German occupation of Poland. Jews were crammed into cramped walled areas of major cities and held as prisoners, as their property was confiscated and given to either local Germans or non-Jewish Polish peasants.

Behind this horrendous scheme, carried out month by month, country by country, was Hitler, whose "greatest weakness was found in the vast numbers of oppressed peoples who hated [him] and the immoral ways of his government." This assessment was Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin's, given at a Kremlin meeting that same day, July 31, with American adviser to the president Harry Hopkins.

WTF?  Could it be?

By now everyone should know the convention is over. John Kerry blew his wad last night. He gave it all he got.

We all know that by day, he's a left leaning, flip flopping socialistic America hating liberal.

But by night...the rallying cry goes out: (Sung to the tune of Mighty Mouse

Good socialists all hang around
When they hear this Mighty sound.

"Trust me! Help is on the way"

That means that Poodle Mouse is on his way.

My Friday Rant

You know, it really frosts my jaws and gets my knickers in a twist every time I see how our Republican law makers act like a bunch of surrender monkeys when it comes to defending themselves.

A few weeks ago we had that guy in Illinois running for senate who wanted his wife to have sex with others. The outcry was so great he bowed out of the race. Democrats were THRILLED because now that seat is a runaway for them. After all, Democrats have no such sense of high moral grounds. OK, I still think the guy was a dirt bag and should have quit but what he does with his wife in his MARRIAGE is his business. How did the public find out about this? An activist judge in California released his divorce records. Now his opponent is being hailed as a future (and second Black) President of the United States.

Why aren't republican-type lawyers raising ABSOLUTE HOLY HELL within the legal system to demand The Poodle's divorce records be made public? If an activist judge could, through meddling, throw an election, why won't we do the same? In other words, through their lack of pursuing this case we are acquiescing that Dummycraps, who have so sense of morals or ethics, can do what they want through unethical activist judges and we let them.

Another example. People like race baiters Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton can go around yelling HYMIE or making other derogatory comments about Jews. Robert "KKK" Byrd can say NIGGER and these moonbats are still in positions of influence and power. Yet Trent Lott makes a comment on a guy's 100th birthday that had neither NIGGER nor HYMIE in it and he's forced to step down. Republicans basically handed his head on a platter to the Dummycraps. No fight. No struggle. An official in Washington D.C.use the word "niggardly" and is accused of racism (hey, fucktards! it means "cheap!") and that person loses his job. Yet liberal educators can utter epithets at whites or Asians and nothing happens. Same with Newt Gingrich and what his his name, Livingstone? who was to replace him but was cheating on his wife? They both backed down. Yet it took trials and prison sentences to get guys like Democrat Toricelli of New Jersey out.

Why don't republican lawmakers pursue through legal actions and IRS intervention the activities of those self-same liberal educators' unions? Or pursue with all the power in them the activities of teacher's unions and other unions' contributions to the Democratic party?

The past couple of weeks brings us another example. Sandy Burglar, Clinton's NSA stuffs highly classified documents in his pants, in his socks, up his ass, I don't know where else and the outcry is muted. Dummycraps yell, "It's a Republican conspiracy to take away attention from the 9-11 commission report" and republicans stand idly by.

We find out the very people responsible for security of those documents were suspicious of the Burglar and nothing was done. We see Clinton and his minions laughing this off as if it were nothing and exactly that---nothing gets done. We see this is the second Clinton high level appointee involved in illegal activities regarding classified documents and nothing gets done. It's all "an accident", "unintentional", etc.

Then we find out he had the document security folks leave him alone in the room through ruses of having to use the phone or going to the bathroom--during which times he'd stuff his pants with documents. I',I'm sorry, that alone, the stuffing of documents down points, is reason enough to shoot this bastard for treason. He knew better. He understood security procedures dealing with classified documents. He intentionally violated those rules. . Again, you do not "accidentally" or "inadvertently" take code word highly classified documents from the archives. You JUST DON'T DO IT! If you or I were to have taken JUST ONE we'd be writing this to you from Leavenworth or some other high security prison---and that's while we were awaiting trial! This fucktard has been free! This son of a bitch should be clapped in irons and thrown in prison. After a quick trial to prove he HAD the documents and he should be shot for treason. Hell, I'll pull the trigger!

Remember, this son of a bitch was a lobbyist/lawyer for the People's Republic of CHINA! And while he was NSA, the Chinese were finally able to miniaturize their warheads and put them on multiple re-entry vehicles!

Oh, I'm not done. As you recall from reading the news, the DNC is whining that this was a plot by the Republicans to bring this up just before the Democratic Convention. News editors and media types are decrying the alleged "leak" and looking for conspiracies in every corner. Yet this is the same media that LIVES on leaks and loves to find leakers that will give them information to make the President or his administration look bad.

But when the leak makes the Dummycraps look bad, well, that's another story.

How about this for a possible scenario? That the leak was done by a Dummycrap in order to defuse the situation prior to the heart of the campaign season? Rumors are flying that Lanny Davis, one of Clinton's advisors may have leaked the story and when asked point blank (2 times) on the Linda Chavez radio show did not answer the question.

Ask yourselves this: if Berger was under investigation for 6 months why did he wait until now to resign from The Poodle's campaign?

GODDAMMIT I AM PISSED!

Last weekend I commented to a friend, "you know, I get so pissed off when I see what is going on and it drives my blood pressure up. I know it is not good for me. Then I think, what's the use? Why am I getting worked up? But then am reminded about how if Kerry gets elected, we will begin to see the coming destruction of our country. So I will continue to rant. But if Kerry wins, I'm tossing in the towel. It's not worth it. I will find something else to occupy my time. Take more vacations. Spend lots more of my money on women and drinking."

He then asked me, "but what about your son and your grandchild?"

I told him, "hey, if it gets to the point that Kerry wins, there is nothing I can do. NOTHING. I WILL BE POWERLESS! Not even at the local level will I be able to be effective because unless we are secure in this country from terrorism and the fanaticism of Islam, anything done at local levels will be subverted and overruled by federal mandates PLUS the economic upheaval caused by further terrorist activities won't much matter any more. My son and his generation will have to fight this battle. It will be a battle for their very lives and existence. In 8 years I'll be in my 60s. My life will be near an end. I did all I could."

Americans have got to realize we are engaged in a war for the future of the United States. If Kerry wins, chances are he'll get the Senate, too. Then it will be 8 years of cowering to terrorists while they infiltrate our country and use corrupt trial attorneys to strip us of our rights to defend ourselves.

For more on how Democrats fight dirty (and great ideas for Republicans to start fighting back) read this piece by Mona Charen.

OK, I am beginning to ramble. I will stop now.

I need a drink.

Scandal in Scandanavia

The liberal socialist paradise called Norway, which is considered to be the best place on EARTH to live (let's see: snow and cold 9 months of the year; 2 weeks where temps MIGHT get to 72, the remainder is rain, rain, rain; tax rates that'd make you blanche; dentist bills having gone up over 3 times more than everything else in the past 9 years; a haven to Muslims----yep, that's where I want to live!), is back on BMEWS. And yes, we are bemused at this.

Remember last week I posted that Norwegians were trying to ban Islam? Well, that probably won't work now because they've passed a law saying that any ads about anti-terrorism measures is considered illegal!!!

Why? They'd be considered "political!" What a bunch of fucking fruitcakes!

To help explain why this country is falling into "fruitcake-dom" we have this lovely little piece (registration may be required) with such great quotes as:

"We have become a nation of whiners. Everything is wrong, yet we are living in the best country in the world. People complain and complain - because we have everything."

Hmmm, sounds like Americans to me!

"The country's bedrock work ethic is caving in. Like the overindulged children of newly minted millionaires, Norwegians now stay home from work at a rate that is the highest in Europe, outdoing even the former titleholder, Sweden."

Remind anyone of welfare? Yep! The discovery of oil in Norway has turned the country into a bunch of welfare queens.

"On an average day, about 25 percent of Norway's workers are absent from work, either because they have called in sick, are undergoing rehabilitation or are on long-term disability. The rate is especially high among government employees, who account for half the work force."

Did you catch that? The line about the rates of government employees? Remind anyone of your local government workers or DMV types?

Want to know why they got selected as the best place to live? They DON'T WORK!

"The average amount of time people were absent from work in Norway in 2002, not including vacations, was 4.8 weeks. Throw in vacation time (five weeks for most people), national paid holidays (11 per year) and weekends, and Norwegians take off nearly half the calendar year, about 170 days, a figure that does not include time off for disability and rehabilitation."

You'd think they'd do something about all the people calling in sick, eh?? Not really!

"Most people who take sick leave receive 100 percent of their pay for a year, though the level dips to 60 percent in the second year under a job rehabilitation program."

Ah, yes, a veritable workers' paradise---soon to come to a screeching halt from lack of productivity and loss of work ethic. Of course, before Norway collapses under the weight of its own laziness, the French will look at this and say it's an example to be emulated as it gives workers more "creative freedom" for personal expression and allows them to discover their inner "self." And it will spread to the rest of Europe whereupon which, that whole part of the world will be nothing but a welfare haven, all flocking to come to the US.

Counter-punch

Thanks to Barb I was turned on to this issue which, as I read into it, really rankles me.

It concerns Andrew Sullivan, the openly homosexual journalist and commentary writer who professes to be Republican but is now equally openly considering the possibility of voting for Kerry. (Can you tell it will be for one issue only regardless of what he may be saying?)

It all started with this site, The Spoons Experience criticizing Sullivan for his blatant "donations" icon after every post. Sullivan claims to need to money to run his blog. Spoons disagrees.

So the effort is this: rather than contribute to Sullivan, how about donating to other "more conservative" sites: like ours? hehehe

Really, though, what Sullivan is doing is blatant pandering. I am not sure if he is serious about voting for Kerry or if it is just a ruse to dupe liberals to give him money. A part of me says that if he engages in the latter and actually gets donations, so much the better as those liberals now have less to give to other liberals.

A bigger part of me says it is unethical and does not reflect well on other conservative bloggers for we will be seen as nothing but a bunch of money grubbers. Worse yet we will be likened to politicians who will say anything to get you to support them.

OK, I've said/made my piece/peace on this issue.

OH MY GOD!!!!

I almost blew my gin and tonic out my nose when I read this.

FRANCE, yes, FRANCE, the home of the famous Surrender Monkeys, may finally have done something right!

They annulled their first homosexual marriage and the mayor that allowed it was suspended!

There may be hope yet!

Caesar Speaks

Our Imperial Bat Catcher is doing a fine job ranting and managing the blog in the absence of our Imperial person. However, he has gone slightly unhinged with the extra power with which he has temporarily been given. Pay no attention to any posts pertaining to myself. Vilmar will be dealt with upon my return. I promise not to hurt him too badly since he has been a good and loyal troop until my recent absence.

In the meantime, encourage him to "stay on message". I've just had to endure speeches by Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, Hillary Clinton and Slick Willie Clinton himself. Right now, Caesar is very tired and nauseated. And grumpy. I encourage Vilmar to retain sanity at all costs. Carrying the blog alone is a heavy burden but I would gladly swap places with him. I am here in "The Belly Of The Beast", lurking in the shadows, my life in danger every moment.

Memo to Dottie: no, I am not in Boston .. but if I were I would have to lie about it because I would have to obtain credentials to the convention by cutting a deal with a liberal blogger whom I dislike and who hates my guts, and I would have to promise not to write anything on the blog until after the convention .... and I could never do that, could I?

Stabbed In The Back

(sigh) They say that "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". This is especially true of Benevolent Dictators. They tend to forget that they are only the figurehead. Their job is to rant and rave, to project the political image of the BMEWS.

The troops down in the trenches (c'est moi) are the ones who build blog sites, configure stylesheets, manage mail lists, update polls, fight off spammers, handle advertising & promotions, maintain key contacts within the blogosphere, etc., etc.

Our Benevolent Dictator (Villymar) has decided to conduct a libelous campaign against the BMEWS Propaganda Minister who is as fine a human being as you would ever care to meet (not to mention very handsome and highly intelligent - as opposed to the Benevolent Dictator who only bathes once a month and whose IQ wouldn't even come close to a decent earthquake on the Richter scale).

In accordance with the above, The BMEWS Propaganda Minister has issued the following proclamation:

1- Due to the recently disclosed fact that Villymar is actually a "closet Democrat" in disguise (and even worse, with liberal tendencies), he has been demoted to BMEWS Bat Catcher.

2- The Imperial Propaganda Minister (c'est moi) has been promoted to position of "Caesar" in honor of his unflagging support of President Bush and the Conservative cause.

3- The NY Yanquis are hereby cursed with the "Curse Of The Moonbat". They will not be allowed to win another World Series until the next century and they will be the Boston Red Sox' bitch from now on.

4- Before Villymar is allowed to crawl out of his spider-hole, he must write "I LOVE THE CUBS" 1000 times on the blackboard.

5- All Cubs fans are hereby declared "Honorary Citizen Soldiers" of the BMEWS. Cardinal fans are on probation. Yanqui fans are outlawed.

So it is written, so let it be done!

By order of Caesar
XXVI JULIUS MMIV

Now, I must mount my chariot and return to Cancun Baghdad Teheran Riyadh Paris Boston Ft. Meade Langley Cheyenne Mtn. Vandenberg AFB .... aw fuggit, I'm at a secret undisclosed location. That's all I can tell you.

The BMEWS Bat Catcher had better be on his toes from now on. Ashcroft and Runsfeld have allocated resources to me to keep an eye on him. He will be advised to concentrate on Moonbats or Caesar will throw him to the lions.

A Public Service Message

Got this from a Newsmax story on ATM fraud.


When standing there getting cash you may be getting "skimmed," too! What's skimming?

A skimmer is merely a card swipe device that reads the information on a consumer’s ATM card. The thief also captures the customer’s PIN number with a small camera mounted in the skimmer itself or at another location near the ATM machine.

A Quick Security Tip: Since the ATM machine works normally, the victims are unaware that they just gave a criminal the “keys” to their bank account.

Your info is then sent overseas were fake cards are made and your account drained.

Avoid this happening to you by following these good tips:

1. Be wary of anything about the ATM machine that looks out of the ordinary, such as odd-looking equipment or wire attached to the device.

2. Be wary of a “no tampering” sign. These are often placed by crooks to thwart anyone curious about a new piece of equipment.

3. Be wary of a jammed ATM machine that forces customers to use another ATM that has a skimmer attached.

4. Customers should also check their bank accounts regularly to make sure there are no unusual or unauthorized transactions.

A Quick Security Tip: Federal law limits loss from ATM fraud, and many banks offer additional protection. Consumers should check with their financial institution for details.

5. If you see anything unusual or suspicious around an ATM machine, or if you find unauthorized ATM transactions on your bank account, notify local law enforcement, as well as your financial institution and/or the establishment where the ATM is located.

6. It is also a good idea to always protect your PIN including not giving the number to anyone and to cover the keypad while you are entering your PIN.

7 If possible, it is usually best to carry out your ATM transactions during the daylight hours as most ATM-related crimes happen after dark.

Be wary! Be smart! Be careful!

Revisiting the “Being Fat Is Now A Disease” Story Again

I know, I just can't let it go, can I?

Except this time, check out the angle Jacob Sullum is taking: if people give up personal responsibility in their eating and exercise habits expecting the government to take care of them. they should also expect to happen to them what is happening to smokers.

I can see it now.

The scene: a restaurant
Enter: Mr. and Mrs. Tub o' Lard

Maitre D' brings in reinforced chairs and passes out menus

Mr. o' Lard orders some white wine, the Mrs. orders a whiskey sour

Waiter: I'm sorry but these chairs automatically calculated your weight and according to the Surgeon General you are at risk for continued health problems so we can not sell you alcohol.

Mr. o' Lard: (furious) How dare you? Bring us Cokes!

Waiter (consulting computer printout from chair): So sorry but the sugar and caffeine is not good for you in your present condition. May I recommend water? It is, after all, better for you and we value your patronage and would like to see you return rather than die.

Mr. o' Lard: OK. We'll order now. Bring us a chicken parmiagana for me and a sea food platter for my wife. Plus 2 baked potatoes and a side order of soup and salad plus Texas toast.

Waiter (again consulting printout): How about a nice salad with balsamic vinegar dressing and some croutons instead, sir. I'm just a poor waiter earning minimum wage and I'm tired of having to pay for your medical bills incurred because you are such a glutton.

Mr. o' Lard: How dare you! I demand to see the manager!

Manager appears: I'm sorry sir but our waiter is right. The federal government recently mandated that no one who exceeds what the surgeon general recommended is a proper weight /height ratio may no longer be served anything but 5 oz. salads with 14 grams of croutons per meal. It's in your best interests, after all. Plus it keeps the lawyers off our back.

Mr. and Mrs. o' Lard storm off muttering under their breath something about hiring a lawyer and that it's their constitutional right to eat what they want.

A Bargain!!!!!

OK, time for a practical shopping tip (but it will entail doing a little math.)

We all know that Bill Clinton's new book is out, right?



---957 pages for $21.00 = $0.0219 per page.


However, being a thrifty sort of fellow, I did some shopping around and located a better buy.



---800 sheets for $2.09 = $0.0026 per sheet.

Almost 8 1/2 sheets of Charmin for the cost of one page of Clinton's book............and they serve the same purpose!!

(With a tip o' the hat to Joanny!)

While We’re on the Subject of Health Care

I got this from The Best of the Web a couple of days ago.

It is about obesity in the US.

A Whale of a Problem

Obesity is a big problem, we tellya. A big problem. (How big is it?)

It's so big, it has smaller big problems in orbit around it!

Agence France-Presse reports that obesity in the U.S. is an "epidemic." It's "endemic" in Bulgaria (Sofia News Agency) and "pandemic" in Jamaica, where it's known as "globesity" (Jamaica Observer).

How does this sickness spread? Through television (London Daily Telegraph) and tap water (Sunday Mercury, Birmingham, England). Apparently not, however, through food. Britain's Press Association reports Tony Blair's government may fight childhood obesity by encouraging kids to eat more: The free school lunch scheme should be extended to include breakfast and more pupils should be offered free fruit to combat "a mass outbreak of obesity," the Government was urged today.

You know, we're feeling lazy today. We don't want to work; we'd rather just plop down on the couch and "recline there, watching TV, . . . with, say, a bag of Doritos or a large pizza" (Washington Post magazine).

Well, boy do we feel empowered. Now that obesity is a disease, we don't have to work. All we have to do is call in fat!

So...........now that obesity is declared a "disease" (Jesus, what a bunch of shit!) it looks like Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer will start paying for Jenny Craig, Atkins and a host of other diet plans to help the fatsoes in this country who are so lazy they can't practice moderation and fail to exercise, control what they eat, how much they eat, and when they eat. Now these fat bastards can sit their fat asses on their barco-loungers, surf their 500 channels of cable TV, eat cheetos, snarf down twinkies, inhale bags of potato chips and guzzle beer to their hearts' content confident that Uncle Sam will now pay for them to lose weight.

And if that fails, they rest comfortably knowing the taxpayer will get stuck with the bill for stapling the stomachs of these fat fucks who fail to exercise self control.

And you think health care is expensive now? Just wait til Jack Sprat and his fat wife start getting tummy tucks.

For more about this, read Jane Chastain's thoughts on where we are headed. How about this: ugliness will be a disease next. And then we can go crying to our doctors to make us pretty. What the hell? Why not? Tax the fuck out of the rich and we'll have a bunch of pretty, but poor, morons running around. Kinda re-defines that song, "Live fast, die young, look pretty." Except it will be on your dime.

Are you as incredulous about this as I am? The fact that we take a program like Medicare, already programmed to go bust in the near future and burden it with even more requirements to take care of the stupid people who refuse to take responsibility for their own health? Just what will we end up with? Nope, sorry, the answer is NOT a failed program. That's right! Government won't allow that to happen. So for all of you still working, busting your asses to pay the mortgage, put food on the table, keeping your car running, and raising your kids---just go ahead, bend over and spread 'em cuz you're gonna take it again and this time Uncle Sam ain't usin' the vaseline!

A.W.O.L.

I really hate to do this to everyone on such short notice, but I'm going to have to disappear for a few weeks. I am burned out and just tired. I also have some very important personal matters to attend to. I will be in a secret, undisclosed location for the next few weeks. When I return I will have some exciting news for everyone.

In the meantime, take care of yourselves and stay safe.

I leave you in Vilmar's good hands for the duration. Please, be kind to him during my absence. I will be back in a few weeks.

Vilmar, you have the conn .... steady as she goes ....

The War Is Lost

Up until now the War Against Fat has been going pretty well. You've been trying the South Beach Diet and later the Atkins Diet. Working those pounds and blubber off has been a real struggle but you're making headway. You've lost five or ten pounds and the future is starting to look good, not to mention your waistline.

But now the evil terrorists at Krispy Kreme have launched a new offensive that somehow sneaked in under the radar at the Department Of Homeland Cellulite Security. Those evil bastards at KK just never stop in their Jihad against skinny people.

Their latest attack on dieters consists of taking their famous double-dipped, deep-fried, sugary, chocolate-coated doughnuts and .... and .... (the horror) .... converting them into MILKSHAKES! Yeegads! It's the end of civilization as we know it!

A 20 ounce Double Chocolate shake has 740 calories and 160 grams of carbs (that's the equivalent of a Wendy's Classic Double w/everything and Biggie fries). Just one of these babies could feed Ethiopia for a month and KK wants you to slurp one all by yourself? We urge you to "don't do it". Give peas a chance.



Do you want to end up looking like this?

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

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.
