No Pig Down Under

First the Muzzies on Australia’s east coast stirred things up with recent riots and now the west coast is getting a dose. Needless to day, the Aussies aren’t too happy with the Muzzies at this point, particularly when it means some of them won’t be able to have a traditional Christmas meal. Allow me to make an interesting point here. The Jews also have prohibitions against eating pork and they have lived among Western civilizations for thousands of years yet the Jews, to my knowledge, have never tried to make the rest of us follow their beliefs. What does that say about intolerance and Muslims ... ?

No Ham For Christmas:
Muslim Menu For WA Hospital
(AUSTRALIA SUNDAY TIMES)

A Western Australia hospital has scrubbed baked ham from its Christmas menu, fearing Muslim patients could be offended. It has also overhauled its entire menu so that all meals are now halal – containing only meat and other food prepared according to Muslim customs. But Port Hedland Regional Hospital staff and many non-Muslim patients are outraged, saying it is a case of political correctness gone mad.

Kitchen staff are so angry that they have organised a petition demanding ham be put back on the Christmas menu. Other WA hospitals are also introducing halal dining, though the Health Department says Port Hedland is the only one to convert its entire menu to suit Muslims. Hospital directors decided to axe the traditional festive season baked ham because of the high percentage of Muslim patients.

Eating pork or ham is forbidden under Muslim custom. Until now, Muslims were asked to supply their own food if they did not want to eat hospital fare. The hospital’s nursing director, Judy Davis, said though ham was not on the menu, Christian patients would not miss out on festive cheer. “We’ll still make Christmas special – we’ve got prawns and all sorts of other special treats,” she said.

But one long-time Port Hedland hospital worker told The Sunday Times the menu change was “unAustralian”. “It’s going to be a boring old Christmas lunch for the patients,” he said. “After all, what’s Christmas without a ham, or Sunday morning without bacon and eggs?

“The management of the hospital are unable to stand up to a minority and keep our Australian way of life intact. They are bowing to the pressure of a select few.” He warned that the only politically correct fare would soon be “a bowl of rice and a cup of tea”. “No wonder the true-blue Australians are getting angry,” he said. “Now all we need is for someone of the Hindu faith to jump up and down and we’ll have no beef. “Before we know it, if you’re sick in Port Hedland, you will have to be happy with a diet of boiled rice and a cup of tea.”

What’s In A Name?

As you read the politically incorrect story below, bear in mind that I have written the mayor and suggested they change the name to either Honkeytown or Gringoville. So far, I have received no reply ....

Texas City Split Over Vote to Change Name
WHITE SETTLEMENT, Texas (AP)

In the 1840s, a village of white pioneers sprang up amid several American Indian encampments. Its name, White Settlement, seemed fitting at the time. Today, some city leaders argue the name is misleading and politically incorrect, hindering economic development in this 15,000-resident suburb of Fort Worth. On Tuesday, voters will decide whether to adopt a new name—West Settlement.

The proposal has angered many residents who believe the change is unnecessary and would cost too much. Signs have popped up in store windows urging folks to “Be Proud! Don’t Let Them Discard the Heritage of White Settlement. Vote No!” “It’s a mixed community, a blue-collar community, and everyone gets along,” said Ernest Rodriguez, who has lived here 14 years and opposes the name change. “The name doesn’t have anything to do with the financial problems.”

In recent years the city’s sales tax revenues have taken a hit with the departure of several big businesses—including Home Depot, Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club stores—and some argue the town’s name has prevented new businesses from coming to town to fill the gaps. White Settlement is landlocked by Fort Worth and several smaller cities, so when the companies couldn’t expand they relocated to larger properties outside the city about a mile away.

“It raises a red flag,” said Grant Jackson, a White Settlement Chamber of Commerce vice president. “Texas has kind of a redneck image, cowboys and everything rough and tough, so a politically incorrect-sounding name is more apt to take wings when it’s part of Texas.” Opponents say city leaders have not been aggressive or flexible enough in working to attract new business.

“There is nothing wrong with the name White Settlement, and the majority here is proud of the name,” said former City Councilman Alan Price, who made 2,000 “Vote No” signs. The city is about 86 percent white, according to 2000 U.S. Census figures. Residents on both sides of the name-change issue say it hasn’t had a reputation for racism. But some black newcomers say they have felt shunned. New Orleans residents Adrienne Hansberry, her boyfriend, Clarence Goods, and a dozen of their relatives recently were brought to the area after being displaced by Hurricane Katrina.

“When I heard that we’d be going to White Settlement, I was like, ‘I don’t think I want to move there,’ “ Hansberry said. “We are decent citizens, but we haven’t been treated like that.” Goods said their apartment neighbors—most of them white but also some Hispanics—have been moving out in droves, some in the middle of the night. The couple also said they know of other hurricane refugees of various races who have felt unwelcome in several communities.

If the name change is approved, the city would spend about $25,000 initially to revise the name on police cars, uniforms and legal documents, Mayor James Ouzts said. “We’ve got to get serious about looking forward,” Ouzts said. “The history is there, but we can hang onto that to the point that it chokes us.”

Things I Learned From Watching TV News

• The hurricane only hit black family’s property.


• New Orleans was devastated and no other city was affected by the hurricane.


• Mississippi is reported to have a tree blown down.


• New Orleans has no white people.


• The hurricane blew a limb off a tree in the yard of an Alabama resident.


• When you are hungry after a hurricane, steal a big screen TV.


• The hurricane did 23 billion dollars in improvements to New Orleans: now the city is welfare, looter and gang free and they are in your city.


• White folks don’t make good news stories.


• Don’t give thanks to the thousands that came to help rescue you, instead bitch because the government hasn’t given you a debit card yet.


• Only black family members got separated in the hurricane rescue efforts.


• Ignore warnings to evacuate and the white folks will come get you and give you money for being stupid.

_{(-- thanks to Steve C.)}

No More Noogies In Oregon

That’s right. As one 15-year-old found out yesterday, kids can no longer harass each other with “titty-twisters” or other forms of “Three Stooges” pranks. The young man in question will have to pay a $67 fine and he also has a permanent misdemeanor on his police record (which he can have removed when he turns 18). The really bad news is that “wet-willies,” “wedgies,” “swirlies,” and “noogies” are also criminal acts nowadays. You folks better hurry up and buy those “Three Stooges” DVD’s before they’re banned .... in the public interest, of course. No word yet on “cootie” infections but I assume they will have to be disallowed also ....

GOLD HILL, Ore. (AP)—A 15-year-old boy who pinched and twisted the nipples of a 13-year-old has been sentenced to three days of community service for harassment. David Thumler, 15, said the “titty-twister” was just horseplay. The mother of 13-year-old Matthew Cox counters that the incident was humiliating for her son, who saw it as an assault from an older, bigger bully. “They’re not friends,” she said. “If he was my son’s friend, it would be a different thing,” said Bobby Cox.

In addition to the community service, Thumler has been ordered to pay a $67 fine and the misdemeanor has been placed on his permanent record. He can request to have it removed when he turns 18. Ken Chapman, a Jackson County juvenile probation supervisor, said Oregon law defines physical harassment as “offensive physical touching.” That includes such adolescent antics as “wet-willies,” “wedgies,” “swirlies,” “noogies” and all other forms of “Three Stooges” behavior, Chapman said.

According to David, the two boys were in line at a local deli when Matthew jokingly made an embarrassing remark to the female clerk about David. In retaliation, David counterattacked with the “titty-twister,” the 15-year-old said. “It’s a thing of camaraderie,” David said. “If he’s going to assume our friendship is on that level, then so am I.”

A lawyer hired by the 15-year-old’s family called the juvenile court’s actions “Orwellian.” “They call this ‘baby assault,’” said Michael Kellington, a criminal defense attorney in Medford, hired by the family. Even Bobby Cox said she was surprised to hear that her husbands’ call to Gold Hill police resulted in court time for the boy. “Nobody informed me it would be a full-blown trial,” she said.

According to Kellington, the incident was blown out of proportion in part because David’s mother refused to let him show up for an initial hearing in juvenile court. Christine Alford, David’s mother, said she did not let her son attend the hearing because she had seen photos of teenagers in handcuffs on the county’s Web site. Kellington said that Alford’s refusal to let David go upped the ante and brought down “unfair, Draconian measures” upon her son. What should have been a discussion between first-time-offender and a representative of the juvenile justice system became a court trial.

“The mom is understandably fearful,” said Kellington. “You shouldn’t retaliate for the decision of a parent upon the child.” Chapman, the juvenile probation supervisor, said the mother should have known better. “‘Hearing’ doesn’t mean ‘taking into custody,’” he said. “When we take someone into custody, we don’t make appointments. If there’s a consequence for not coming in informally, well, that’s one they chose.”

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.
