Tax Refund

It’s official! Americans will no longer have to pay for the Spanish-American War.

Summary (for the historically-challenged): The war began on February 15, 1898 when the USS Maine exploded in Havana harbor. Congress declared war on April 19, 1898. The US jumped all over Spain and Teddy Roosevelt became famous for riding rough. Spain gave the US Cuba and the Phillipines to make us quit beatin’ up on them. The Treaty Of Paris was signed on December 10, 1898 and the war ended shortly thereafter.

Total length of war: ten months. It has taken taxpayers 105 years to pay for that war. That sure was an expensive war, wasn’t it?

Weird Science, Episode #6

Go ahead. Make up your own punchline for this story. The one who comes up with the silliest summation of this story wins a brand new ... erh ... uh ... whatever. And while we’re on the subject, what exactly is the plural of “penis”? And why would anyone care? More importantly, what were the rabbits thinking about this whole deal? Someone alert PETA immediately!

Scientists Grow Artificial Penis in Lab
Tuesday, May 23, 2006

ATLANTA (FOX NEWS)—It’s now possible to replace a defective, damaged, or diseased penis with a penis grown in a laboratory—in rabbits. But the finding promises an amazing new treatment for infants, boys, and men who suffer penis disfigurement. The replacement organ would be grown on a penis-shaped matrix seeded with cells from the patient’s own body.

Researcher Anthony Atala, MD, director of the Institute for Regenerative Medicine at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, reported the findings at this week’s annual meeting of the American Urological Association in Atlanta.

“Our goal is eventually to treat infants and adults with birth defects, penis trauma, or penis cancer,” Atala tells WebMD. “But this is a future goal. We are now deciding which animal model to explore next.”

While human trials are still far off, the Atala team’s recent accomplishments make their goal highly credible. Atala and colleagues recently reported successfully using much the same technique to replace defective bladders in human children with spina bifida.

In the rabbit study, Atala’s team removed the penises from rabbits and entirely replaced the organs with penises grown from the animal’s own cells.

Atala says the new penises have blood vessels and nerves that allow them to become fully functional. Indeed, the replacement penises worked like a charm. The rabbits were able to get erections, mate with females, and get females pregnant with normal, healthy pups.

Most Ridiculous Item Of The Day (so far)

There are so many things wrong with this story I don’t know where to begin. Actually I do know where to begin ... with the child who was molested. Judge Cecava obviously completely forgot about the child in her concern for the health of this pedophile. “Imperiled by prison dangers”? Whatever happened to “you do the crime, you do the time”? And what about the child?

imageimageJudge Says Man Too Small for Prison
May 25, 2006, 8:14 PM EDT

SIDNEY, Neb. (AP)—A judge said a 5-foot-1 man convicted of sexually assaulting a child was too small to survive in prison, and gave him 10 years of probation instead. His crimes deserved a long sentence, District Judge Kristine Cecava said, but she worried that Richard W. Thompson, 50, would be especially imperiled by prison dangers.

“You are a sex offender, and you did it to a child,” she said. But, she said, “That doesn’t make you a hunter. You do not fit in that category.” Thompson will be electronically monitored the first four months of his probation, and he was told to never be alone with someone under age 18 or date or live with a woman whose children were under 18. Cecava also ordered Thompson to get rid of his pornography.

He faces 30 days of jail each year of his probation unless he follows its conditions closely. “I want control of you until I know you have integrated change into your life,” the judge told Thompson. “I truly hope that my bet on you being OK out in society is not misplaced.”

Politics In Arizona

Arizona is a beautiful state. I’m sure going to miss it after Mexico annexes it. The legislature just passed an immigration bill that the US Senate would do well to read and follow - but they won’t. Arizona legislators are simply responding to the majority of the state’s citizens. As you can read below, officials in the border counties are urging the governor to veto the bill. I wonder why. My guess is the local officials along the border are mostly Mexican immigrants themselves who are legal citizens but prefer to look the other way when illegals come across. I’d like to hear from someone down in Tombstone or Tucson on that.

Regardless, Governor Napolitano will most likely veto the bill and the legislators can go home and say “we tried”. Hogwash. They’re no better than the crooks in Washington who are playing the same game: pretend to be doing something while doing nothing. The longer this goes on the worse it gets, not just in Arizona but all across the country. Amnesty? No! Guest worker program? Maybe! Seal the border? Hell yes! Fine businesses who hire illegals? You bet! Vote out the jerks who are playing games with this issue? YES!

imageimageArizona Legislature OKs Immigration Bill
May 26, 2006, 2:03 AM EDT

PHOENIX (AP)—The Legislature approved a bill Thursday that would criminalize the presence of illegal immigrants in Arizona and provide $160 million to help authorities in the nation’s busiest illicit entry point with their immigration crackdown.

The legislation also would set fines for businesses that continue to employ illegal immigrants after receiving warnings, require local police agencies to train officers in enforcing immigration law and deny education benefits to immigrants.

The bill, which was approved 33-22 by the House and 16-9 by the Senate, now goes to Gov. Janet Napolitano. Spokeswoman Jeanine L’Ecuyer declined to say whether the governor would sign it, but lawmakers on both sides of the debate predicted a veto. Officials from Arizona’s four border counties have urged Napolitano to reject the bill.

The plan would resurrect a proposal to criminalize the presence of illegal immigrants by expanding the state’s trespassing law to let local authorities arrest those who sneak into the country. Napolitano vetoed that measure last month, siding with police agencies that wanted immigration arrests to remain the responsibility of the federal government and complained that the duty would be a drag on their budgets.

Among other things, the bill would provide $54 million for communities for arresting and detaining illegal immigrants and nearly $29 million for border efforts by state police. About $50 million, to be distributed over two years, would go toward radars to help spot illegal border-crossers. Authorities would get another $2 million to crack down on illegal hirings.

The bill would require businesses to fire employees whose Social Security numbers are invalid. Illegal immigrants frequently use forgeries to meet federal employment eligibility requirements. It would let state prosecutors seek civil penalties as high as $5,000 and the suspension or revocation of business licenses if an employer under investigation fails to stop employing illegal immigrants.

The bill would also require local police to get training in immigration law and sign agreements with the federal government to let local officers investigate and arrest illegal immigrants. Many police officials have resisted efforts to enforce immigration law, saying it would detract from their roles in investigating thefts, assaults and other crimes and would jeopardize the trust they have built in immigrant communities.

The bill also would prohibit illegal immigrants from attending adult education classes and receiving cheaper in-state tuition and financial assistance at the state’s public universities and community colleges.

Henry Payne - The Detroit News

- Detroit News: “Keep ‘America’ in Michigan schools”

Censoring the word “America” from our own schools is something Josef Stalin, Adolf Hitler and Osama bin Laden would never have thought possible. Michigan has done it without a whimper. In perhaps a well-intentioned, but pernicious example of political correctness, the Michigan Department of Education is attempting to ban the “America” and “American” from our public schools.

Even though the word “America” appears in the department’s own civics and government benchmarks, the department’s style protocol for the Michigan Education Assessment Program requires that “America” and “Americans” be expunged from our testing and grade level expectations. Last week, the department ordered that our hard-working teachers not utter the words.

The Department of Education asserts that “Americans” includes Mexicans, Canadians and others in the Western Hemisphere, so referring to U.S. residents as Americans is inappropriate. In the department’s view, “America” happens to include South, Central and North America. Accordingly, when referring to the colonial period, the state bureaucracy requires teachers to refer to “the colonies of North America” or “North Americans.” After the American Revolution, the nation is called the United States (not of America).

The state’s edict would be laughable if it were not so disgraceful. Instead of focusing on better teaching methods and educational resources to help our hard-working teachers and parents, the Department of Education spends its energy on confusing, misleading, historically inaccurate and counterproductive wordplay.

One can only imagine how teachers struggle to meet the semantic dictates of an educational bureaucracy gone awry. According to the department, before the American Revolution, George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were North Americans. But so were the French colonists in the Louisiana Territory, the Spanish settlers in Mexico and the British colonists in Canada—not to mention the Native Americans.

I suppose after reading this you’re still going to tell me that our educational system is not the problem? This sort of political correctness goes on in our school systems all across the country every day. Why? Because we allow it to happen. There are a lot of good teachers out there trying their best to educate our children. Unfortunately, the local school administrators, school boards and especially the NEA are ruining the entire system.

I would like to pretend that the jerks in charge just don’t know what they’re doing but then I read news articles like this and I can’t just write it off to ignorance. There is something insidious and thoroughly evil going on here and the longer parents of school-age children allow it to go on the worse it will get. My children are grown and out of the school system without too much harm having been done to them but I worry about my grandchildren who will arrive one day if my two sons ever get captured by the right gals. We all have a stake in this. We’re all Americans ... aren’t we?

Out On A Limb

Joan Baez. Sitting in a tree. In Los Angeles. Singing protests songs in Spanish. To Mexican immigrants. Who have appropriated a city park and have been growing vegetables there since 1992. Developer wants to build a warehouse on park land.

Let’s see ... what else do we need to make this farce complete? Hmmm, how about Al Gore arriving to blame it all on Bush? Naw, that would be anti-climactic. You’ll have to forgive me on this one, folks. I can’t believe Baez is still alive much less skinnying her scrawny butt up a tree to sing “We Shall Overcome” for the gaziillionth time ... en espanol. Aye, caramba!

imageimageJoan Baez Joins Tree-Sitting Bid To Save LA Garden
Wed May 24, 4:57 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Folk singer Joan Baez sang “We Shall Overcome” from a tree-top perch in Los Angeles on Wednesday in a bid to save a community garden from demolition.

Baez, 65, who gave voice to civil rights and anti-war campaigners in the 1960s, joined Julia “Butterfly” Hill, an anti-logging activist, in taking up residence in the tree in the 14-acre (5.7-hectare) fruit and vegetable garden in gritty south Los Angeles.

Baez will take shifts occupying the tree with Hill, who spent two years in the late 1990s sitting in a northern California redwood to highlight the plight of ancient forests. The threatened Los Angeles garden is tended by some 350 farmers, many of them immigrants, who have been growing fruits and vegetables there since 1992.

“It’s an extraordinary community of people and creativity in this industrial part of the city and it literally gives life every way,” Baez told reporters, after singing a verse of “We Shall Overcome” in Spanish.

The farmers are threatened with eviction after a court battle over ownership of the land between the city of Los Angeles and a developer who wants to build a warehouse there. The developer has offered to sell the land for $16 million but no one has yet come up with the money.

Actress Daryl Hannah, a keen environmentalist, joined a small group of supporters who have raised some of the money. “We’ve come up with $6 million, which is unbelievable. If everyone in the city just gave one dollar, this place could be saved,” she said.

Question: what kind if idjit reporter uses phrases like “keen environmentalist”?

Barking Moonbat Of The Week

This week’s winner takes the cake. The whole blogosphere is abuzz over this one. I would provide links to the other bloggers but it would fill the whole page here. Just pick one from BlackFive to LGF to LT Smash to Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiller to MilBlogs to etc. and you’ll read about this dipshit in disguise.

Basically, Jesse was put out front by several socialist peaceniks as a returning Iraqi war veteran who had murdered innocent Iraqis (including children) and these groups supposedly want to get the word out about the atrocities. The only problem is the whole thing was an elaborate hoax. This is how the mental midgets on the Left usually operate. Lies, more lies and the damned liars who tell them. This asshat may actually be a candidate for the prestigious Dan Rather Trophy which we award to the most outrageous “fake but innacurate” news story of the year. Stay tuned ...

imageimageJesse Adam Macbeth (born Jesse Adam Al-Zaid)

Jesse is featured in the 2006 Pepperspray Productions video, posted at peacefilms.org, “Jessie Macbeth: Former Army Ranger and Iraq War Veteran”. The video was removed from the site 23 May, 2006 after the US Army said Macbeth had never been an Army Ranger. The original video along with an investigative report by Michelle Malkin is available at YouTube.com.

Over time, Macbeth has given several interviews and has been quoted and published in several online sources. A number of inconsistencies have appeared in reports about him, or in quotes attributed to him. Jessie Macbeth, as used in the video, may not be the correct spelling of his name; he has also been identified as Jesse Macbeth and Jesse MacBeth by various online publications.

A narrator in the video says that Macbeth “...served in Iraq for 16 months before being wounded...” The war began on 20 March 2003. The Eastern Arizona Courier reported on 3 November 2003 that Jesse MacBeth had returned 2 and a half months prior - roughly in late August of 2003, after sustaining a back injury, limiting possible time actually in Iraq to five months.

Macbeth is quoted in an April 26, 2006 SocialistAlternative.org article as saying that he was “stabbed many times,” has shrapnel in his knee, and has been shot in the back, and that he has received the Purple Heart. The Eastern Arizona Courier article reported that MacBeth had been shot in the back by an M16 rifle while in an Iraqi tunnel, but that a Canadian nurse stitched him up and he continued fighting. (Canada was not a known participant in the Multinational force in Iraq at the time of the article’s publication.) The article also says that he planned to attend a hearing that month about a medical discharge from the Army. There was no mention of the stabbings or the shrapnel in the article.

The report on SocialistAlternative.org includes the Macbeth quote “We would leave the bodies in the streets and blame it on the Shi’ites or the Sunnis. [In Fallujah] we were ordered to go into mosques and slaughter people while they were praying.” In the video, he said this was in retribution for the similar acts done to the bodies of American contractors. The mutilation and public display of American corpses in Fallujah happened March 31, 2004, after the publication of the Eastern Arizona Courier article placing Macbeth in Arizona.

—Of course, IowaHawk has a “fake but accurate” interview with Jesse. Mheh-heh ...

An Epidemic Of Ignorance

Every once in a while I run across an editorial in one of the trade magazines that makes me wish I had written it. Mr. Gottlieb puts into words something that has bothered me for decades as I’ve watched the drama he describes unfold. This epidemic of ignorance is spreading across America and is one of the main reasons why I started this blog.

The fact is I have too much to write about here with all of the “arrogant ignorant” running around today ... and the situation is getting worse and worse every day. Too many people in positions of power are taking advantage of this epidemic to spout off all kind of nonsense, knowing that there are very few people left with enough common sense and intelligence to see through their lies.

I include Democrats and Republicans, Liberals and Conservatives, people of all stripes in those groups. We have become a nation of three kinds of people: (1) those who lie for personal gain, (2) those who are too stupid to know they’re being lied to, and (3) the rest of us. Guess which one of those groups is in the minority ...

imageimageThe Arrogance Of Ignorance
A new generation of the serenely clueless is
ready, willing and able to destroy your company

Jan, 18, 2006

By Mark Gottlieb (INDUSTRY WEEK)

Your livelihood and your future are both in peril. The threat you face derives not from any external factors that may affect your company. Instead, it comes from your own employees.

The deadliest business hazard of our time is the result of a sea change in the American approach to education that occurred early in the 1970s.

Across the United States, conventional educational standards were tossed out the window, replaced with feel-good theories like “whole-language learning” that emphasized personal fulfillment over the accumulation of hard knowledge.

As a result, we now have two generations of men and women who expect gold stars not for succeeding, but simply for trying.

And, sometimes, merely for showing up. In Great Britain, even primary school students can name all the monarchs of England. How many American children can name the capital of their own state? In India, the study of mathematics is practically a religion. In the United States, how many retail clerks can make change without relying on a calculator?

In Germany, vocational education is a rigorous and honorable pursuit, producing highly qualified workers and tradesmen. In the U.S.A., people actually boast about their inability to deal with anything mechanical. But sheer stupidity is not the greatest danger presented by the current crop of blank slates. It is the arrogance bred of ignorance that constitutes an unparalleled descent into goofiness.

In the long-dead past, incompetents generally recognized their own incapacity and behaved accordingly. Today, every jackass sees himself as a genius, and every fool fancies herself a philosopher. Once, a young colleague at a major firm accosted me in tones of confusion and desperation. “Mark! Mark!” she called as I walked past her office door. “When was World War II?”

I thought at first that she was joking, but, alas, she was not. The deadliest global conflict in human history had somehow escaped her notice. Yet if I had asked if she honestly believed she deserved her B.A. and felt qualified to perform her job, she would have been gravely insulted and likely kicked me until I was dead. Like the pod people of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the arrogantly ignorant appear at first glance as normal as you or me. But beware.

The most profound risk they represent springs not from their cluelessness, but from their inability to recognize their own limitations. Such blind hubris can lead to monumental errors of judgment, grotesque mistakes, and the refusal to accept—despite a mountain of evidence—that the strategy they are pursuing may be leading your organization off a cliff. When people like that are in your employ, it is you, not they, who suffer the consequences.

These days, the arrogance of ignorance is so pervasive that I feel confident in making a small wager: Ten bucks says that the worst offenders will read these words and wonder, “Who is this joker talking about?” If characters like that work for your company—brother, you’re in for a world of hurt.

Drew Sheneman—The Newark Star Ledger (NJ)

- CBS News: “FBI Raid Stirs Anger On Capitol Hill”

Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California said congressional independence from the executive branch protects Americans from abuses of power. “Justice Department investigations must be conducted in accordance with Constitutional protections and historical precedent,” she said.

Well, what does the Consitution say?

The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
-- US Constitution, Article I, Section 6

The last time I checked, accepting $100,000 in bribes was a felony which, according to the section above, overrules the privilege of Congress. I’m not a Constitutional lawyer but I can read and understand plain English.

So, You Want To Fly?

Just get a Man-Cannon

imageimageYou’d think that with global terrorist threats and fighting two wars, the US Defense Department would have little time on its hands to start a circus troupe.

However, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has filed a patent application for a contraption designed to hurl SWAT teams and other emergency workers onto the roofs of inaccessible tall buildings human cannonball style, New Scientist reports.

The lethal-looking device (pictured) consists of a forward-facing chair mounted on rails that point at an angle of up to 80°. Powered by compressed air, the foolhardy “payload” would shoot up until the saddle reaches the end of the rails, at which point he would flail free skyward.

The application is extremely detailed, with proposals for computer control, feedback mechanisms, and valve pneumatics. They don’t seem to have considered in as much depth what happens once gravity takes over.

But no matter, the designers reckon a four metre high launcher could put a man on the top of a five storey building in less than two seconds.

Read the patent here.

Metric Revolt

We went through this in the US several years ago. I remember when our politicians tried to ram the metric system down our throats and states passed laws saying road signs had to display miles and kilometers and they tried to convince us that 15 centimeters was more impressive than 6 inches.

Fortunately, we were able to get rid of the politicians who dreamed up that idea and we’re back to the normal system of weights and measures (except for those damn two-liter bottles of Coca-Cola that just don’t match up with those 1.75 liter bottles of Jack Daniels).

This whole metric crap is for the birds (and sissy EUro-Peons). British market traders are about to start a revolt. Key quote: “Why do we have to do what Europe wants? They have never done anything for us. Americans still buy things in pounds and get their petrol by the gallon. We should be following them, not Europe.” Mheh-heh-he-he ...

imageimageIt’s All Gone Bananas
10:49am Tuesday 23rd May 2006

HERTFORDSHIRE-UK (NEWSQUEST)—Furious market traders in High Wycombe have hit out at European plans that will stop them selling their produce in pounds and ounces or be slapped with a £5,000 fine. Law makers in Brussels want to see imperial measurements banned from market stalls in Britain to come in line with the rest of Europe.

The move, which comes into effect in 2010, will see pounds replaced by kilograms on every sign selling bananas, potatoes and carrots. Anyone caught even mentioning the price of their fruit or veg by the pound could be made to pay. Stall holders have warned almost all their customers that still use “old money” measurements and have no idea what a kilogram is.

Tony Burgess, from the Wycombe Fruits stall, said the idea just does not weigh up. He said: “Ninety-nine per cent of the public want things sold to them in pounds. When we first tried it four years ago we took a quarter of our usual sales. It is a load of rubbish, nobody has a clue what you are talking about when you talk about kilos.”

Until the new law comes in, traders are allowed to advertise their products in pounds and ounces as long as they also show the metric equivalent. But in four years’ time they will have no choice and everyone will have to get their head around the idea of buying apples and spuds by the kilo.

Shawn Rutter, who sells meat from Geraghty’s Meat Auction in High Street, said: “We have the metric measurements but when we are selling we talk about the price per pound. The only people who want things in kilograms are foreigners. I do know the measurements but my customers don’t.”

Tony said: “Why do we have to do what Europe wants? They have never done anything for us. Americans still buy things in pounds and get their petrol by the gallon. We should be following them, not Europe.”

The British Weights and Measures Association (BWMA), with celebrity members such as Jools Holland and Antony Worral Thompson, wrote to Tony Blair last month to protest. David Delaney, from the BWMA, said: “We are still waiting for a reply from Blair. Imperial measurements are very popular. They are a part of every day life.”
