SLAM!!!!

Read excerpts from an interview with one of The Poodle's commanders in Vietnam.

I guess Lurch was defining his personality and character back then--one of distortions, obfuscations, and outright lies.

Late Night Humor

From Leno:

Well today the White House released a terror warning for the Olympics. Okay, it was the 1980 Olympics. They admit the information is a little old.

According to the "Wall Street Journal”, al Qaeda’s new strategy is to destroy our financial institutions and bring the nations big businesses and major corporations to its knees. No wait I’m sorry that’s Ralph Nader’s platform. I’m sorry.

According to "Drudge Report”, a domestic centerpiece of Republican agenda for the second Bush term is getting rid of the internal revenue service. They want to do away with the IRS. Whew! So I guess they are serious about going after terrorist organizations.

Have you noticed how the Republicans and Democrats try to copy each other at their conventions? Like at the Democratic Convention, Kerry’s daughter told a story about how her dad once gave CPR to her hamster. At the Republican Convention, the Bush girls are going to tell the story of how, when their hamster was bad, their dad built them a little electric chair.

Political experts continue to be baffled over John Kerry’s failure to get a bump in popularity after the Democratic Convention. Jimmy Carter got a bump in 1976. Ronald Reagan received a bump in 1980. And Bill Clinton not only got a bump in 1992, he got a bump and a grind.

"The Village” was the number one movie making $51 million. It’s all about these villagers who get attacked by these creatures who live in the woods. President Bush said, "See what happens when you don’t cut the trees down!”

From Conan:

Residents in Missouri overwhelmingly voted to make same sex marriage illegal. They also changed their state motto to the "don’t show me state”.

Just For Cubcake Fans

From Jay Leno:
Concrete pieces of Wrigley Field in Chicago have been falling to the ground. Which is strange this time of year because usually for the Cubs, the collapse doesn’t occur until the playoffs.

Quote of the Day

What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say. Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)




On This Day in History


1806 Holy Roman Empire ends; it was neither holy, Roman, nor an empire

1959 Corvair Makes its Debut

The Chevrolet Corporation registered the Corvair name for its new rear-engine compact car on this day in 1959. Corvairs became quite controversial--people either loved them or hated them. The car was accused of being "unsafe at any speed," with much criticism directed toward its handling, even though a 1972 government study later exonerated the Corvair. Today, the Corvair is considered rare and collectable and has been called one of the most significant cars in automotive history..

1787 First draft of Constitution debated

In Philadelphia, delegates to the Constitutional Convention begin debating the first complete draft of the proposed Constitution of the United States.

The Articles of Confederation, ratified several months before the British surrender at Yorktown in 1781, provided for a loose confederation of U.S. states, which were sovereign in most of their affairs. On paper, Congress--the central authority--had the power to govern foreign affairs, conduct war, and regulate currency, but in practice these powers were sharply limited because Congress was given no authority to enforce its requests to the states for money or troops. By 1786, it was apparent that the Union would soon break up if the Articles of Confederation were not amended or replaced. Five states met in Annapolis, Maryland, to discuss the issue, and all the states were invited to send delegates to a new constitutional convention to be held in Philadelphia.

On May 25, 1787, delegates representing every state except Rhode Island convened at Philadelphia's Pennsylvania State House for the Constitutional Convention. The building, which is now known as Independence Hall, had earlier seen the drafting of the Declaration of Independence and the signing of the Articles of Confederation. The assembly immediately discarded the idea of amending the Articles of Confederation and set about drawing up a new scheme of government. Revolutionary War hero George Washington, a delegate from Virginia, was elected convention president.

During an intensive debate, the delegates devised a brilliant federal system characterized by an intricate system of checks and balances. The convention was divided over the issue of state representation in Congress, as more-populated states sought proportional legislation, and smaller states wanted equal representation. The problem was resolved by the Connecticut Compromise, which proposed a bicameral legislature with proportional representation in the lower house (House of Representatives) and equal representation of the states in the upper house (Senate).

On September 17, 1787, the Constitution of the United States of America was signed by 38 of the 41 delegates present at the conclusion of the convention. As dictated by Article VII, the document would not become binding until it was ratified by nine of the 13 states.

Beginning on December 7, five states--Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, and Connecticut--ratified it in quick succession. However, other states, especially Massachusetts, opposed the document, as it failed to reserve undelegated powers to the states and lacked constitutional protection of basic political rights, such as freedom of speech, religion, and the press. In February 1788, a compromise was reached under which Massachusetts and other states would agree to ratify the document with the assurance that amendments would be immediately proposed. The Constitution was thus narrowly ratified in Massachusetts, followed by Maryland and South Carolina. On June 21, 1788, New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify the document, and it was subsequently agreed that government under the U.S. Constitution would begin on March 4, 1789. In June, Virginia ratified the Constitution, followed by New York in July.

On September 25, 1789, the first Congress of the United States adopted 12 amendments to the U.S. Constitution--the Bill of Rights--and sent them to the states for ratification. Ten of these amendments were ratified in 1791. In November 1789, North Carolina became the 12th state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. Rhode Island, which opposed federal control of currency and was critical of compromise on the issue of slavery, resisted ratifying the Constitution until the U.S. government threatened to sever commercial relations with the state. On May 29, 1790, Rhode Island voted by two votes to ratify the document, and the last of the original 13 colonies joined the United States. Today, the U.S. Constitution is the oldest written constitution in operation in the world.

Despicable Bastards

Vietnam Vets against John F**KING Kerry are running an ad that disputes The Poodle's assertions as to what he did in Vietnam.

So what's the Democratic National Committee response? To send out their lawyers (a la Florida in November 2000) to intimidate radio and TV stations from running the ads.

And then The Poodle has the balls to say this to a bunch of left wing minority journalist in DC:
"Had I been reading to children and had my top aide whisper in my ear that America is under attack, I would have told those kids very nicely and politely that the president of the United States has something that he needs to attend to"

Yeah, John, you'd just stop everything and panic people with your abrupt departure without receiving confirmation of what was truly going on. Brilliant, asshole!

I am so fucking mad I can't verbalize all my thoughts. Pity any liberal son of a bitch coming near me defending that scumbag Kerry. I would be prone to commit acts of terminal violence.

As a public service reminder, I'd like to inform you that Imperial Centurion, Barb, is running a little contest on her blog to pick a song that best describes the GOP in Illinois.

What Was Going On With Allan & Vilmar?

Allan here. I just thought I'd chime in with my two-cents worth on the recent bullshit between Vilmar and myself. It was all a joke, kids .. and none of you fell for it. Bummer!

Before I left for Boston, Vilmar and I decided to start some crap to keep you guys and gals distracted while I snuck behind enemy lines (or is that "enema" lines?).

We came up with the idea of a treason to see if our readers would take sides. Only a few did. The rest of you must have seen right through the crap right away. That is good. It means you can cut through the bullshit and sort things out for yourself without any help from the Democrats or the national news media. Either we've trained all of you well or you already had good heads on your shoulders. Either way, we congratulate you on having more sense than God gave to earthworms (and Liberals, who have less sense than earthworms).

Vilmar was fascinated at the idea of watching the experiment to see what social interactions might occur in two opposing groups. I have to admit, I was also a little curious.

In summation, we were a couple of wankers having a little experiment with you good folks. You proved, however, that you are all too smart for that shit. We hope you will forgive us for trying to have a little fun with youse guys.

Carry on!

Oops, almost forgot .... GO CUBS! GO CUBS! GO CUBS!

Time for Readers to Sound Off

This story got out yesterday and I have heard it on local radio being debated today. I make no secret that I am fed up with all this Muslim tolerance bullshit and it really gets on my nerves. Everywhere you turn we seem to be bowing and scraping and trying not to offend them. Yet in their home countries there are no feelings of reciprocity for our feelings and habits when it comes right down to it. It's as if they can come here and DEMAND we do things their way, tolerate their stupid behaviors and smile while we do it. But they'd never attempt any of that crap in their own shithole countries.

So here's a little grist for the mill of your minds:

It appears this woman, working for a company with strong Muslim ties, got fired for eating a BLT. Her employers did not want her eating any pork products on company premises.

OK, to a certain point I feel companies should be able to state what they find to be appropriate or inappropriate behavior. But to tell you what you can eat? Where's the fucking ACLU when you need them? Or are they getting stroked by these guys and don't want to piss them off?

If you were an employer and told your workers that eating tofu offended you, how quickly would you be ganged up on by these shitheels at the ACLU? How about if you were a Jewish company and said no food could be brought unto the premises unless it was kosher? Yeah, I know.............

Here's another link out of Miami about the story.

Anyway, that's how I originally felt.

Yesterday afternoon I heard on 540 WFLA, Orlando, where a caller said she worked there and knew the woman in question. The caller stated the woman not only knew company policy (no pork products inside the building but OK outside) she actually FRIED UP the bacon on the premises. The Miami paper said she heated up her sandwich in the microwave, generating smells.

OK, gang. I am only going to say this once: ASSUME the whole truth is everything I've written and everything in the two articles.

No, "what if?" crap

No, "unless she...." crap

No, "we don't have the whole story yet" crap.

You HAVE the whole story (for the sake of this post.) The only facts are the ones I've given you.

Better yet, and to make it easier, pretend you are a Democrat who does not let the facts get in the way of your opinion! (hehehe)

So how's this one going to go? Was she a bit over the top? Does she have a leg to stand on? If she knew the rules going in, is the company wrong to fire her?

Far as I am concerned, she's like the people that move into a 55 year old plus community and then decide they want to raise their grand kids in there. So sorry, That's wrong.

Does she win the lawsuit or does the company?

The Feud?

I've received email from people concerned that what was going on between Allan and myself was the result of a falling out of some sort.

As it turns out, it was nothing more than a well orchestrated hoax upon those who were not sure (and a bunch of bullshit to all others.)

It was, however, a lot of fun and somehow I suspect it kept Allan checking in periodically to see what crap I was spewing and what hijinx I was up to with the site while he was in the middle of his move and his clever infiltration of the Dummycrap Convention.

Hope you had fun with it. I know I did.

Now we will resume our normal ranting and raving (unless Allan's got something up his sleeve he's not told me about.)

Thanks for sticking with us through the madness.

Vilmar

P.S. I must admit it was interesting to see, from a sociological perspective, which side people took.

Wanna Bet?

Just out of curiosity (and in order to conduct a bit of a scientific study on the matter of media bias), I'd like you to consider the following:

Several weeks ago Sandy Bergler, a dummycrap, was found to be under investigation for taking secret documents from an archive, stuffing them into his pants, socks, up his ass, I don't know.

The media yawned. Soon the story, never really on the front pages anywhere, was buried.

Now it looks like Richard Shelby, a Republican, passed on classified information to Fox News and CNN. Fox did not divulge the material. CNN did.

The experiment? Let's see how the media handles this. Will it hit the front pages? Will it be buried like Bergler's story was?

I hope I am wrong.

More People to Add to the Sh*tlist

A bunch of music groups will be staging simultaneous concerts across the country to raise money to defeat President Bush.

Yes, they are associated with MoveOn.org

Yes, they should be boycotted.

I wonder if bands SUPPORTING President Bush will get together? In any case, it makes you wonder where our political system is headed.

News adds to my shitlist:

Jurassic 5 (never heard of them. They are hip hop so I'd never buy any of their crap anyway.)
John Mellencamp
Bonnie Raitt
Jackson Browne
Babyface (another one who's music I'd not buy regardless of affiliation)
Bright Eyes (no idea who they are)
Dave Matthews Band
Bruce Springsteen

Vote with your wallet. Don't buy the music. Don't attend the concerts. Pass this on to your friends, colleagues, associates, acquaintances.

Unfit For Command

HOOOOEEE! If only HALF the stuff in this new book is true, Kerry is fucked come November. Now, if only Republicans would take the fight to him about all this and expose him for what he is: a lying, opportunistic piece of shit.

Here are a few examples:

two of Kerry's three Purple Heart decorations resulted from self-inflicted wounds

All three of Kerry's Purple Hearts were for minor injuries, not requiring a single hour of hospitalization

Kerry turned the tragic death of a father and small child in a Vietnamese fishing boat into an act of "heroism" by filing a false report on the incident
.
Kerry would revisit ambush locations for re-enacting combat scenes where he would portray the hero


UPDATE! See this article for more info on a TV ad blitz featuring veterans against The Poodle. Their comments are blistering!

Children in the News

Here's another "child raised by wild animals" story. This one is in Siberia. The kid supposedly lived with wild dogs over 6 years.

Think hard about this: baby abandoned when only several months old. Neighbors unaware of his abandonment. He lives in SIBERIA, for Christ's sake!

So how did he get food in the dead of winter when he was unable to walk?

Sounds like bullshit to me.


Little boy goes camping. He's with adults. They are on a hike. A bear comes by. Not only does the bear scare the shit out of the boy, it scares him to death. Sad.


Little girl joins soccer team. Goes to practice. Drops dead. Other kids think she's goofing around.

Sad...again.

Quotes of the Day

The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities. Sophocles (496 BC - 406 BC)

If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside. Robert X. Cringely, InfoWorld magazine

I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life. Rita Rudner

1945 Atom Bomb dropped on Hiroshima (Aug 6th in Japan)
1962 Marilyn Monroe died.
1981 Pres Reaan fires 11,500 air traffic controllers who struck 2 days ago

1944 Hundreds of Jews are freed from forced labor in Warsaw

On this day in 1944, Polish insurgents liberate a German forced-labor camp in Warsaw, freeing 348 Jewish prisoners, who join in a general uprising against the German occupiers of the city.

As the Red Army advanced on Warsaw in July, Polish patriots, still loyal to their government-in-exile back in London, prepared to overthrow their German occupiers. On July 29, the Polish Home Army (underground), the People's Army (a communist guerilla movement), and armed civilians took back two-thirds of Warsaw from the Germans. On August 4, the Germans counterattacked, mowing down Polish civilians with machine-gun fire. By August 5, more than 15,000 Poles were dead. The Polish command cried to the Allies for help. Churchill telegraphed Stalin, informing him that the British intended to drop ammunition and other supplies into the southwest quarter of Warsaw to aid the insurgents. The prime minister asked Stalin to aid in the insurgents' cause. Stalin balked, claiming the insurgency was too insignificant to waste time with.

Britain succeeded to getting some aid to the Polish patriots, but the Germans also succeeded-in dropping incendiary bombs. The Poles fought on, and on August 5 they freed Jewish forced laborers who then joined in the battle, some of whom formed a special platoon dedicated solely to repairing captured German tanks for use in the struggle.

The Poles would battle on for weeks against German reinforcements, and without Soviet help, as Joseph Stalin had his own plans for Poland.


1914 Red Light, Green Light

The first traffic light was installed at the intersection of Euclid Avenue and East 105th Street in Cleveland, Ohio. Earlier roads, shared by horses, cars, and streetcars, were chaotic. As accidents and traffic increased it became apparent that some rules of the road were required. The traffic light was only one of several improvements to arrive in this period--the traffic island was introduced in 1907, dividing lines appeared in 1911, and the "No Left Turn" sign debuted in 1916
