Raiders Of The Lost Service Pack
Indiana Allan here. I've been notified by the Museum, the University and US Army Intelligence that my services are required for a special secret mission. It seems that Der Fuehrer, Adolf Gates has sent a bloated Zeppelin to America to destroy our intelligence gathering services. The Zeppelin is named the "Servitz Pak Zwei" or "Service Pack Two", in English. This Zeppelin intends to attack our Windoze XP calculating machines by jamming signals and bombing us with bugs. Scary stuff, eh? Well, I have never been one to fail when my country needs me so I have volunteered to investigate this Zeppelin.So, I grabbed my trusty hat, leather jacket, .45 pistol and whip, packed my suitcase and began the investigation. Suddenly I heard a blood-curdling scream. I jumped up and started scanning my surroundings for Nazi spies or traitorous monkeys. None to be seen. Then I realized it was just the neighbor next door watching his Macintosh crash again for the millionth time. Some people never learn.
Sitting down to my task again, I examined the Zeppelin from a distance. "My God, this thing is huge", I thought. Over 270 MB in size. I'm surprised there's enough helium in the world to lift that beast off the ground, but there it was floating around in Fuehrer Gate's private hangar waiting to be sent out to inflict damage on America. I girded my loins and prepared to grab it by the horns.
I lunged, grabbed a mooring rope and hauled it in. Darting back undercover before the Redmond Nazis recognized me, I made a dash for home. Picture a wild plain ride chased by Nazi agents, a submarine ride on a periscope, a walk through spinning razor blades, and a watery tunnel full of rats. I had to do none of that. Thank God.
Back home in the safety of the University I chewed my fingers and gradually worked myself up to applying the Zeppeliln's secret code to my own calculating machine. I started the sequence and sat back to watch with a severe sense of dread overcoming me. I counted the minutes as the non-informative screen told me things like "creating restore point", "inspecting drivers", and most ominously "checking registration number". Aha! That last told me the Zeppelin was trying to call home to Der Fuehrer. I reached out to disconnect the string which ran up through the rafters connecting me to the University's UNIVAC machine but before I could pull the plug, the Zeppelin quieted down. I realized it had completed its nefarious task and was requesting that I power off and back on my calculating machine. It did this in an evil voice, kinda like a certain female Nazi agent I once knew. Ahhhh, those were the days.
I quietly sneaked my hand down to my trusty pistol, grabbed the handle, cocked it and with the other hand, pulled the string to cycle the calculating machine. I promised I would give this Nazi abomination only one chance then blow it to hell if it misbehaved.
The machine slowly re-cycled and I was surprised to see something new which I will call "The Blue Screen Of Purgatory". I've seen "The Blue Screen Of Death" a few times and this was not it. This screen appeared to have hijacked my calculating machine on restart with a nonsense message saying only "please wait ....".
I thought to myself, "Quoth the Raven, Nevermore." Beads of sweat popped out on my forehead .. my finger tightened on the trigger of my pistol ....
Finally, the Zeppelin gave me my normal starting screen but what's this ...??????? A weird message box screaming at me in blinding colors that my calculating machine is "unprotected" and that although I have ZoneAlarm Pro for firewall and Norton Antivirus 2004 .... the Zeppelin COULD NOT talk to them. It knew they were there, inside the machine, but couldn't communicate. Horrors! Then it wanted to know if I wanted to turn on a feature that would automatically phone home to Der Fuehrer on random occasions (probably late at night while I slept, I imagine). I slapped the "NO" key as hard as I could (I have a special keyboard - don't ask).
Anyway, the Zeppelin finally surrendered my calculating machine back to me. The only difference I noticed was one of my favorite Windoze third-party features called StyleXP would no longer start, saying it didn't recognize the Zeppelin. I quickly put in a connection request through the Univerity's UNIVAC to TGTSoft and found they already had a fix for the Zeppelin problem. Whew! Thank God for good old American know-how. I quickly applied the fix and all was well. For now.
Standing up, drenched in sweat and shaking from my ordeal, I opened the window to my front lawn and to my surprise saw .... a tornado spelling out "MICROSOFT" in smashed mobile homes down the road, a 2,000-car collision on the nearby interstate, John Kerry walking up to my door with a smile on his face and a vial of anthrax in his hands and a horrid looking beast with Fuehrer Gate's face and the numbers "666" on its forehead crawling its way down the road in the direction of Bethlehem.
I knew right then I needed a drink and a nap. So, stay tuned as I investigate further this incidious Zeppelin in the next episode ....
Weekend Pinup Gals (and Guys)
This weekend, for your amusement, we present three lovely pinup gals from T.N. Thompson. All three were from calendars in 1951. In addition we have five for the ladies and a very special surprise for them. Gals, scroll past the stuff for the guys and read on ....
For the Gals, we present a man who started as a body builder in 1953 (see first picture below). Your man is the fourth from the left - #24 (the 4 is slightly obscured by the -ahem- bikini). We're sure you'll recognize the other four pictures of this same man in "later years" ....
Socialism, Insect Style
Thanks to Joanny! We've probably seen this before but, hey, it's Sunday, I'm getting ready to go buy a gun or two, and don't have time to get too serious!OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
CBS, NBC, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, "It's Not Easy Being Green"
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, "We shall overcome."
Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.
Tom Daschle & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Peter Jennings that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his "fair share."
Finally, the EEOC drafts the "Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper Act," retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.
The ant loses the case.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Vote Republican
Obligatory Muslim Joke
Hey, how better to follow up a post like the one below than with this?A Muslim was killed in a car accident. He arrives at the gates of heaven. St. Peter says "I'm St. Peter. Welcome to Heaven". The Muslim says "Nice to meet you Peter but I'm a Muslim and I want to meet Muhammad."
St. Peter says "Sure no problem. Climb up that ladder behind you and you will meet Muhammad"
The Muslim climbs up the ladder, gets to the top and there is Moses. Moses says "Hi I'm Moses. Welcome to Heaven".
The Muslim is very excited - "Moses, its such an honor to meet you. But like I told St. Peter, I'm a Muslim and I really want to meet Muhammad".
Moses says "No problem. Climb up the ladder behind you and you will meet Muhammad.
The Muslim climbs up the ladder, gets to the top, he can't see anything but bright light. He sees this figure before him and asks "Who are you?"
The figure responds - "I am God. Nice to meet you. Welcome to Heaven". God walks over and shakes his hand.
The Muslim is stunned - he can hardly speak. He says to God "Sir, it is such an honor to meet you - I can't believe it - this place is great. But I'm a Muslim and, no disrespect intended, but I really want to meet Muhammad."
God says "Ohh.. You're here to see Muhammad. I see. No problem. Have a seat. Get comfortable. Can I get you some coffee or something to eat?"
The Muslim says "I would love a cup of coffee"
God yells into the kitchen.. "Hey Muhammad. 2 coffees!!!"
Why It Must Suck To Be A Muslim….
Especially if you are a woman.Maybe the people born into it don't know any better but any woman who voluntarily chooses to become a Muslim is either ignorant, stupid, or, face it, a moron who enjoys being assaulted. I question the rationale of men who convert, too, because any religion that still advocates any woman who is sexually assaulted is no longer fit to be a member of society, is shunned, and condemned to live a life ostracized from the rest of the community, is a fucked up religion and its followers just as fucked up.
Think I am making it up? Check out this story where this muslim woman in India had to MARRY her rapist in order to lift the shame cast upon her for having had the audacity to have been born a woman and therefore, in the eyes of these fucktard sheethead, ass in the air 5 times a day moonbats, deserved to be raped.
This guy faced 7 years for the rape. Oh, and the bonus? His lawyer then convinced him to marry her citing that the courts might free him if he were to do that. AAAHHH, what wedded bliss that union will be.
Ooops, hang on a sec..........the rapist is not the only barking moonbat in this story. Listen to what the victim says, post-marriage:
"But I have a different feeling for him now. I have forgiven him because he has chosen me as his wife. I have to love him now."
Ladies.......comments????

Quote Of The Day"Television has done much for psychiatry by spreading information about it, as well as contributing to the need for it."
-- Alfred Hitchcock (1899 - 1980)
On This Day In History
August 22, 1851 - U.S. Wins First America's Cup
On August 22, 1851, the U.S.-built schooner America bests a fleet of Britain's finest ships in a race around England's Isle of Wight. The ornate silver trophy won by the America was later donated to the New York Yacht Club on condition that it be forever placed in international competition. Today, the "America's Cup" is the world's oldest continually contested sporting trophy and represents the pinnacle of international sailing yacht competition.
August 22, 1864 - International Red Cross Founded
The Geneva Convention of 1864 for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick of Armies in the Field is adopted by 12 nations meeting in Geneva. The agreement, advocated by Swiss humanitarian Jean-Henri Dunant, called for nonpartisan care to the sick and wounded in times of war and provided for the neutrality of medical personnel. It also proposed the use of an international emblem to mark medical personnel and supplies. In honor of Dunant's nationality, a red cross on a white background--the Swiss flag in reverse--was chosen. In 1901, Dunant was awarded the first Nobel Peace Prize. In 1881, American humanitarians Clara Barton and Adolphus Solomons founded the American National Red Cross, an organization designed to provide humanitarian aid to victims of wars and natural disasters in congruence with the International Red Cross.

Moonbat Behavior Of The Week
Some people are dangerous because they talk on their cell phone while driving. However, the really dangerous ones are those who try to talk on a land-line while driving."Can You Hear Me Now? Good!"
Barking Moonbat Of The Week Award
Surprise! Another "two-fer" this week. We have two radical clerics spouting anti-America bullshit and defying the US. One is a Radical Muslim Cleric and the other is a Radical Moonbat Cleric. Both claim to represent a "religion of peace" but are aggressively fighting against civilized behavior and literally abhor American values of truth, justice, baseball, hot dogs, Mom and apple pie.The fellow on the left below (shown demonstrating what his asshole will look like after he goes to prison - if he makes it to prison) is Muqtada al-Sadr, radical Muslim cleric whose fighters in Najaf have been defying the Iraqi National Government and US forces for months. He has agreed to cease-fires, broken them, agreed to leave a sacred Mosque, then left his fighters there, and continues to act like a rabid dog.
The fellow on the right below (shown pointing the finger of blame at ANYONE who questions him on any issue, especially his "war record") has assembled a militia of drunken druggies and assorted psychopaths from Hollywood, Taxachusetts and other holdout enclaves of Leftist Moonbats to his cause which is to overthrow the legally-elected government of the US. He has placed himself above the law and dares anyone to question his authority as leader of the Leftist Moonbat religion. He is more like a rabid hyena.
- This Award Is For Two Insane Bastards -
They are making finger gestures at you.
Feel free to give your own finger gesture to both of them.
Passive-Aggressive Mole
We have a mole on the site, folks. This mole exhibits passive-aggressive behavior ("A person with this disorder may appear to comply with another's wishes, and may even say that he wants to do what he has agreed to do, but the requested action is either performed too late to be helpful, performed in a way that is useless, or otherwise sabotaged to express anger about compliance that isn't related verbally" - A.D.A.M.). The mole has a stockpile of every anti-Bush, anti-America, Leftist argument ever made but pretends to be understanding. This disingenuous behavior is compounded by a clever disguise.This individual calls him/herself "Stacey" and is using a fake e-mail address (no registration at Yahoo) and is spoofing their IP address by routing in through one of Verizon's DSL customers in Reston, VA. He or she is possibly connecting in from overseas and using a mail relay. It is not worth my time to investigate further.
I have wasted too much time already talking to this individual and see no reason to continue. I refuse to speak to someone who goes to all that trouble to hide their identity. There has to be a reason.
What is the reason for the secrecy, Stacey? Wanna come clean and tell us who you really are and where you really are? You already know all of us and where we live - how 'bout a little 'quid pro quo' .. if you can understand what the truth really is, that is? Note: this is not an 'ad hominem' but a request for honesty on your part. If you want to play here you have to be up-front with us.
I advise everyone else here not to waste any more time on this person but as usual, you are free to do as you please. I'll leave his/her comments as a perfect example of subtle propaganda. Do as you will with them ....
Update: Someone calling himself Wayne Melnick has just opened an e-mail accout at Yahoo with the "handle" that Stacey has been using, obviously after reading this post. What a wanker ....

Quote Of The Day"There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true."
-- Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)
On This Day In History
August 21,1959 - Hawaii Becomes 50th State
The modern United States receives its crowning star when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signs a proclamation admitting Hawaii into the Union as the 50th state. The president also issued an order for an American flag featuring 50 stars arranged in staggered rows: five six-star rows and four five-star rows. The new flag became official July 4, 1960.
August 21, 1883 Trial Of Frank James Begins In Missouri
The trial of Frank James begins in Gallatin, Missouri. It was held in the city opera house in order to accommodate the crowds of spectators. After having robbed dozens of banks and trains over nearly two decades, Frank James finally turned himself in October 1882. Discouraged by the murder of his brother Jesse the previous spring, Frank feared it was only a matter of time before someone also shot him in the back for reward money. He decided to try his chances with the courts, hoping that his considerably public popularity would win him a short sentence. Frank's trial went even better than he had hoped. Although Frank and Jesse James and their gang of desperados had killed many people, the majority of Missourians saw them as heroes who took money from ruthless bank and railroad companies and redistributed it to the poor. The state prosecutor had a difficult time finding jurors who were not prejudiced in Frank's favor. Looking at the panel of potential jurors, he concluded, "The verdict of the jury that is being selected is already written." After the trial began, several prominent witnesses testified to Frank's character. General Joseph O. Shelby, who had known him during his days as a Civil War guerilla, encouraged the jurors to see Frank James as a defender of the South against corrupt big businesses from the North. When asked to identify Frank in the courtroom, the distinguished general exclaimed: "Where is my old friend and comrade in arms? Ah, there I see him! Allow me, I wish to shake hands with my fellow soldier who fought by my side for Southern rights!" Rural Missourians were unwilling to convict the legendary Frank James. The jury found him not guilty. The states of Alabama and Missouri tried to convict him twice more, on charges of armed robbery, with no success. In late 1883, Frank James became a free man. He lived quietly for 32 more years. The only shots he ever fired again were from starter pistols at county racetracks, one of the handful of odd jobs he took to earn a living. He died at his family home in Missouri in 1915 at the age of 72.

One Of Our Readers Sounds Off
Occasionally one of our readers leaves a comment that deserves a full post by itself. Bob has done that in response to the "Kerry Meltdown" post. I'll let him tell you in his own words ....What if? What if Kerry does win the election and then he abandons his "Band of Brothers" like he did 35 years ago in Vietnam. I wonder if the truth would come out from these guys about the real Lt Jg Kerry.
Leadership...being a leader. Being a commander of a Swift Boat, like Lt. Jg Kerry was, means he was the leader of his men. He was responsible for the training, morale, fitness, well being, and most of all the lives of those men under his command. He was the Officer in Charge and had the responsibility. His job and duty was to see these guys made it through the war and accomplished the missions assigned to them. On that Swift Boat he was the Old Man, the boss, the CO. How did Lt Jg Kerry accept his responsibilities? Lets see, the first chance he got he left his men high and dry. Your fighting a war and you have put your life in this guys hands and suddenly, without warning, he is gone. Not because of higher headquarters orders but because he found a way out in the system and took it. He didn't have to take it but he did. How many NCO's and Officers could have taken early returns on deployments but refused because they wouldn't leave their men behind. I once had to order a young NCO back to the states while on a deployment because his wife was due to have their baby very soon and there was the chance of complications. He didn't want to leave because his aircraft and people were still there and he felt his place was with them. BTW, baby and wife came through it ok.
Now I want you to put yourself in the places of these enlisted men on Kerry's Swift Boat. Here you are stuck in this forsaken country for at least one year and an officer, a rich kid from an influential family, is your Skipper and suddenly after 4 months he is gone, on his way back to the states. What would you have said or done 35 years ago when this happened? Being an enlisted man myself, I know what these men would have said and it wasn't "good luck". Those guys, the ones on stage with him now, would have probably fragged him in a heart beat...fragging is when the troops kill their own officers because they are untrustworthy. And then, to top it off, this officer, your former leader is telling the world that YOU murdered innocent people, YOU were war criminal, YOU are a lowlife. You tell me how you would have felt if you were one of those men? Your C.O. just betrayed you to the world and fabricated falsehoods to further his goals. And, now tell me why those men are now standing with him on stage, supporting him, and singing his praises? We all know the answer, they are either being bought off or are most likely promised some type of reward or compensation. If Kerry wins they feel they will have direct access to the White House. That is a very powerful thing to have, especially to someone whose life has basically been a nobody. I hope these guys realize that if Kerry looses that the Democrats will not remember them for their faithful service to John Kerry during his presidential bid. No sir, they will remember them as the baby killers of Vietnam because once their "war hero" is out of the picture, they will go back to hating anything connected with the military and Vietnam. It's funny though how his fellow officers, the ones who stayed and led their men through the war, are not singing his praises but condemning his actions. The leaders, the ones who cared for their men and did their time in-country, his peers and his superiors, all say he is a liar and cannot be trusted to lead as he is not a leader.
Damn, Bob! I couldn't have said it better.

The Kerry Meltdown
John Kerry has filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) over the Swift Boat Vets. He stood by while Michael Moore bashed Bush with his crockumentary "F-9/11" and stood on the stage while Whoopi Goldberg used drunken profanity to attack Bush. Now, all of a sudden he is crying "foul" and whining. Suddenly Kerry has a thin skin. I'll say it again, what is this man trying to hide?
Is this the man you want for President?
In another news story today, Kerry hired the communications manager from MoveOn.org to manage his campaign's internet communications. Talk about suspicious connections? This one is a smoking gun, my friends. Kerry has hired the head of the major Bush-bashers blog site to head his internet communications. Get real, Mr. Kerry. You have exposed yourself for the vicious hypocrite you actually are. How do you sleep at night?
The Kerry Meltdown is in full progress as the man shows his true colors. He is an elitist, spoiled brat who managed to build a false reputation during four months in Vietnam and has spent the last twenty years in the Senate kissing Ted Kennedy's butt and attempting to destroy the US Military with his voting (when he can be forced to attend the Senate) and marrying rich widows. The sleaze and slime on this man are starting to show clearly.
One of our visitors here at BMEWS has questioned why we don't cover Kerry's record for the last twenty years instead of his Vietnam record. The answer is simple: we covered his Senate record in excruciating detail. See Vilmar's extensive posts exposing John Kerry 's record in the Senate. There's plenty there to make anybody nauseous, unless you're a die-hard Leftist who thinks Kerry is above criticism. Think on that for a minute, Stacey and go read Vilmar's dossier on Kerry. You came here late in the game but there is no reason why you can't educate yourself now .... before it's too late.
And while you're at it, Stacey, consider this .... President Bush has quietly stood by and let the Bush-bashers have their fun without complaint. He has stood up under the fury of the Leftists and not even bothered to acknowledge their hatred. He is holding himself above the fray, so to speak. That speaks volumes to me about the man and his character. Comapre that to Kerry's whining and complaining. I know who is the better man .... do you?
Kerry and Cambodia
DAMMIT!!!Get ready, this is a long one and has been building for several days and I've held off saying anything but I just read that the fucking slimeball Kerry and his Satanic Minions are now demanding that the publisher of the book written by the SBWAK be withdrawn from sale. MoveOn.org has also written to Amazon, Wal-Mart and Barnes&Noble asking them not to display the book.
What the fuck is this? The Spanish Inquisition? (please, no Monty Python jokes. I am NOT in the mood!)
AAAAARGGHH!!!!!!!
Lately, unless you've lived under a rock, you've seen the media sucking The Poodle's ass by not aggressively going after what really happened in Cambodia. We all know this self-same media HOUNDED President Bush when he was accused of being AWOL, a term still used by the left and proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to be false. All this based on hearsay and innuendo.
So now we get word about how Kerry's exploits in Cambodia and Vietnam may be less than truthful from MANY vets who document and footnote all they say in their book and the media snores.
Now, for Cambodia. First The Poodle says his visit took place on Christmas 1968 (AND DEEPLY SEARED INTO HIS MEMORY, too!) When questioned about this, Kerry's supporters came out in force to say it was AFTER Christmas.
Then it was a couple of missions.
Then it was four missions.
Then it was NEAR Cambodia.
Then it was MAYBE in Cambodia.
Meanwhile we are still waiting for Kerry, himself, to answer the questions.
Here's a bit of background on this whole mess. Faithful readers of FrontPageMag; WorldetDaily, etc may have already seen some of this but let's refresh a bit, shall we?
We'll start with one of Kerry's ass suckers who works for The Boston Globe. Check out the title of the article [KERRY disputes Allegations On Cambodia]. Then read it to see if ANYWHERE in it KERRY actually disputed anything. His campaign did. Not him.
And so we begin in typical fashion with the lies and deceptions of the left.
OBTW, the author is the one who reportedly was allegedly paid to write the jacket for Kerry's book. Nice and impartial, eh?
"During John Kerry's service in Vietnam, many times he was on or near the Cambodian border and on one occasion crossed into Cambodia at the request of members of a special operations group operating out of Ha Tien"
You notice it, too? No dates. And it was MANY times.
Americans should have gotten a clue that Kerry would turn on his own veterans when he first tried to get his crew to write a telegram to the Chief of Naval Services, Admiral Zumwalt which said:
"Merry Christmas from the troops that weren't in Cambodia, which was us. We were."
You notice how he wanted OTHERS to do this but he didn't have the balls to do it himself? And as an officer, isn't that walking the fine line of insubordination?
Then there's this:
Separately, according to Meehan's statement, Kerry crossed into Cambodia on a covert mission to drop off special operations forces. In an interview, Meehan said there was no paperwork for such missions and he could not supply a date.
How convenient, eh?
Another crew member (allegedly on Kerry's side) said that he:
vividly recalled an occasion on which Kerry and the crew chased an enemy to the Cambodian border but did not go beyond the border. Yet Medeiros said he could not recall dropping off special forces in Cambodia or going inside Cambodia with Kerry.
So, dear reader. If you read the headline of this article and then the article, how much disputing of the Cambodia story did KERRY actually do? And really, how much was there in all those words to prove he actually did so?
Let's move on.
Next we have a piece by Tony Blankley drawing a parallel between one of Hollywood's biggest leftist twits, Martin Sheen, and The Poodle.
Here we find The Poodle on record in the Congressional Record as saying:
"On more than one occasion, I, like Martin Sheen in "Apocalypse Now," took my patrol boat into Cambodia. In fact, I remember spending Christmas Eve, 1968, five miles across the Cambodian border being shot at by our South Vietnamese allies, who were drunk and celebrating Christmas ... But nowhere in "Apocalypse Now" did I sense that kind of absurdity ... "
Yep, Kerry likens himself to Martin Sheen. Are we to take the leap of faith that since Sheen, as an actor playing like he was in Cambodia and is now playing like he is President, that Kerry, who SAYS he was in Cambodia will also say that it proves he should be president, too?
It gets better. The Poodle's staff, in addition to their faux pas of claiming Kerry was vice chair of the intelligence committee when it was really the OTHER Kerrey, goes on to say this about the Cambodia thing that The Poodle was :
"somewhere on the Mekong River, which separates Cambodia from Vietnam"
Guess what, you lackey shit birds? The Mekong does not separate these two countries!!!
Then from Kerry's biographer we find out that although it may not have been Christmas when Kerry was in Cambodia:
"Kerry went into Cambodian waters three or four times in January and February, 1969, on clandestine missions. He had a run dropping off U.S. Navy Seals, Green Berets and CIA guys." The missions were not armed attacks on Cambodia, Mr. Brinkley informed the newspaper, and he had not included these secret missions in his biography of John Kerry. "He was a ferry master, a drop off guy, but it was dangerous as hell."
OOOOOH! Dangerous!!! I'm scared.
Tony ends his piece with this:
I love the smell of political lies in the morning. ... The smell, you know ... smells like ... defeat.
Well, maybe this will be the beginning of the end to this shitbird and his accomplices in the media.
From Art Moore we have this one which mentions that Douglas Brinkley's "Tour of Duty." (yep, the same biographer referenced above.) Kerry insisted he was wounded and got a Purple Heart for actions on December 2, 1968 but the journals and notes HE, KERRY provided Brinklery say different. In the book that the mission in question:
"commenced when , Kerry "had just turned 25, on Dec. 11, 1968," which was nine days after the incident in which he claimed he had been wounded by enemy fire."
Here's what is said:
"They pulled away from the pier at Cat Lo with spirits high, feeling satisfied with the way things were going for them. They had no lust for battle, but they also were not afraid. Kerry wrote in his notebook, 'A cocky feeling of invincibility accompanied us up the Long Tau shipping channel because we hadn't been shot at yet, and Americans at war who haven't been shot at are allowed to be cocky."
The article goes on about the Cambodia business and how this biographer is now re-writing that scenario for Kerry. It also disputes accounts of Kerry having been shot at.
Give it a read. It's worth it.
DAMN. I am worn out, pissed off, angry, furious, seething, foaming-at-the-mouth-wanting-to-kill-something MAD!

Swift Boat Veterans Attacked By NY Times
The New York Times comes out swinging against the Swift Boat Veterans. It seems their Liberal candidate is taking friendly fire and the Moonbats at the NYTimes are prepared to defend his honor (article requires registration).Records show that the group received the bulk of its initial financing from two men with ties to the president and his family - one a longtime political associate of Mr. Rove's, the other a trustee of the foundation for Mr. Bush's father's presidential library. A Texas publicist who once helped prepare Mr. Bush's father for his debate when he was running for vice president provided them with strategic advice. And the group's television commercial was produced by the same team that made the devastating ad mocking Michael S. Dukakis in an oversized tank helmet when he and Mr. Bush's father faced off in the 1988 presidential election.That's a pretty tenuous connection to President Bush. What about the connections between Michael Moore, Whoopi Goldberg and John Kerry? Hmmmmm ...?
Mr. Hoffmann's phone calls led them to Texas and to John E. O'Neill, who at one point commanded the same Swift boat in Vietnam, and whose mission against him dated to 1971, when he had been recruited by the Nixon administration to debate Mr. Kerry on "The Dick Cavett Show."Aha! Now you have even established a connection to the evil Republicans in Texas who forced the peace-loving Democrats to leave the state recently to avoid redistricting. That's a real stretch, guys. Have you been talking to Michael Moore or Oliver Stone about this conspiracy theory?
Mr. O'Neill, who pressed his charges against Mr. Kerry in numerous television appearances Thursday, had spent the 33 years since he debated Mr. Kerry building a successful law practice in Houston, intermingling with some of the state's most powerful Republicans and building an impressive client list. Among the companies he represented was Falcon Seaboard, the energy firm founded by the current lieutenant governor of Texas, David Dewhurst, a central player in the Texas redistricting plan that has positioned state Republicans to win more Congressional seats this fall.
The group's arguments have foundered on other contradictions. In the television commercial, Dr. Louis Letson looks into the camera and declares, "I know John Kerry is lying about his first Purple Heart because I treated him for that injury." Dr. Letson does not dispute the wound - a piece of shrapnel above Mr. Kerry's left elbow - but he and others in the group argue that it was minor and self-inflicted.The NYTimes take someone's word for it? You've got to be kidding. The only people they believe are Leftist liars and Hollyweirdos.
Yet Dr. Letson's name does not appear on any of the medical records for Mr. Kerry. Under "person administering treatment" for the injury, the form is signed by a medic, J. C. Carreon, who died several years ago. Dr. Letson said it was common for medics to treat sailors with the kind of injury that Mr. Kerry had and to fill out paperwork when doctors did the treatment.
Asked in an interview if there was any way to confirm he had treated Mr. Kerry, Dr. Letson said, "I guess you'll have to take my word for it."
The Silver Star was awarded after Mr. Kerry's boat came under heavy fire from shore during a mission in February 1969. According to Navy records, he turned the boat to charge the Vietcong position. An enemy solider sprang from the shore about 10 feet in front of the boat. Mr. Kerry leaped onto the shore, chased the soldier behind a small hut and killed him, seizing a B-40 rocket launcher with a round in the chamber.The plot thickens. If Kerry and friends were planning medals, how do we know Kerry wasn't planning to get three scratches, three Purple Hearts and a ticket home after only four months. I'm surprised it took Kerry a whole four months to implement his plan.
Swift Boat Veterans for Truth describes the man Mr. Kerry killed as a solitary wounded teenager "in a loincloth," who may or may not have been armed. They say the charge to the beach was planned the night before and, citing a report from one crew member on a different boat, maintain that the sailors even schemed about who would win which medals.
"I went to university and was called a baby killer and a murderer because of guys like Kerry and what he was saying," said Van Odell, who appears in the first advertisement, accusing Mr. Kerry of lying to get his Bronze Star. "Not once did I participate in the atrocities he said were happening."Now we get to the root of the problem and why the Swift Boat Veterans are doing this at the very end of the article. There's really no Bush connection and no greed for money .. they're just pissed. And I don't blame them. Kerry has touted his war record all over the place but there are too many unanswered questions about that service. Maybe it's time for Mr. Kerry to answer these questions instead of attacking the people asking them. Eh, Mr. Kerry?
As Mr. Lonsdale explained it: "We won the battle. Kerry went home and lost the war for us.
