Corporate Greed Says He’s Innocent

And here I thought President Bush was only going to protect his Fat-Cat Corporate Buddies when he got into the White House. You know, the rich?

But how is it possible that a Republican is allowing all his greedy corporate scalawag amigos to get thrown into the hoosegow?! He’s supposed to be protecting them! Why GW why?! It’s...it’s, uh, all about the OIL!!!!

Ted The Scaremonger

Thomas Vago has identified another lefty who can’t seem to cope with the world these days. Ted Turner thinks we’ve got 50 years to go.

If I’m not mistaken, wasn’t this the brilliant line of thinking coming out of the pie-hole of Paul Ehrlich? He of The Population Bomb? The guy who had his proverbial ass handed to him by Julian Simon? Yeah, that guy.

The left never ceases to amaze with their wild apocalyptic machinations...but then again, if they didn’t try, we wouldn’t have stuff to laugh at now would we?

But the economy is in the crapper, isn’t it, Dems?

If the economy is so bad off, then how come personal incomes are up? Spending has grown almost a full percent last month, and incomes are rising to meet it. Savings (as a percentage of disposable income) is up as well.

I guess they’re just going to have to stick to blaming Bush for the crappy conditions in Iraq. I mean, look at all the new schools, fully-stocked hospitals, trash collection, and peace and freedoms in that quagmire! God, how can the Iraqis stand to make all those new decisions that Saddam had made for them for all those years? It’s no wonder that they hate us so virulently - having to choose between beef and lamb (or shall we have the leftovers?) for the rest of ther lives can get so tiresome....

I Don’t Give a JDAM Iran…

Rest easy...Iran has given the world it’s assurances that their nuclear facilities will NOT be used for anything other than peaceful means, including enrichment…

In other news, Donald Rumsfeld has assured Tehran that the B-52’s flying overhead are NOT going to do anything, oh say like drop some heavy ordnance. He promises…

Resistance Must Mean Murdering Babies

I used to think the Palestinians should at least be given a chance to have their own state. This was a few years ago. Today? Nay…

Perhaps in their world, Palestinians think killing babies and strapping kids with bomb belts is the way to go, but their weak link...this is planet earth.

Resistance eh? According to the article 2600 Paleos compared to 822 Israelis have been killed. I may be a midwestern chump, but that ain’t exactly resisting anything. But sure, they can keep going on with their monkey bar and flaming hoop training regiment and keep “resisting” Israel. Pretty soon you’ll all be dead. But since martyrdom is what you guys want, apparently, why the hold up people? Come on…

I just read this

Over at Emperor Misha’s, but he found it circulating around the web, so that I won’t be the first…

Saddam has been getting a severe pass from many people on the Left, and amazingly, many of these people are comparing Bush to Hitler.

Oh, the irony…

You see, Saddam’s Ba’ath party is more properly known as the Arab National Socialist Party, and (as the last paragraph in this article shows), Saddam himself was a student of Joseph Stalin.

But let’s look at that name for a moment, shall we? “Arab National Socialist Party”. Keep that in mind for a moment.

Sports, sports, sports, sports

The Cubs have won the Central Division. I’m sure they’re aware that the last place team in the division basically made it possible. You know, the Cubs rank right up there with the Red Sox with the “Whoa-Is-Me” histrionics. But that being said, I’m sure they’ll meet in the World Series knowing this season. Although that would anger certain Yankee fans..I’m sure.

In the Hot,Hot, Hot Women’s World Cup action...Norway, Germany, Brazil and Canada have advanced to the quarterfinals. Just is case you were wondering.

Holy Crap…

I admit it, I like cartoony diversions. I’ve been watching The Simpsons since they had their first Christmas special, and even when they were on the Tracy Ullman Show.

I woke up early every sunday morning back in high school to watch Ren & Stimpy..all 5 episodes they had.

I laughed and guffawed at Beavis and Butthead. Even in between the video clips MTV insisted to have on the show.

Now I may be behind the times, but recently(about a week or so), my eyes have been opened to a new cartoon (Is it a cartoon really?) worth wasting my time and watching over and over again. But I think this gentleman is the real reason I go there. I see Strong Bad and can’t help but evoke Lucha Libre in my head. Strong Bad to me is a Por el bando rudo wearing his La máscara. I even witnessed him perform a Espanos Planes on his computer hitting the delete button.

Heck, even the the boxing gloves are cool. The guy is great...er grande. I need some sleep....

TheBloviating, Red-Nosed Senator Said…

“We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.” Sen. Ted Kennedy- Sept 27, 2002.  The quote is mid-way down, about the 27th paragraph.

I know other sites have this quote as well, but given his recent tirade about the Iraq war being basically made up in Texas, it deserves the spotlight.

P.S.- Thanks for the birthday greetings...and no cake for me! Seriously...too much sugar.

An intriguing idea

Credit (and thanks) go entirely to John Hawkins, of Right Wing News, but it’s interesting enough to reproduce here. (I hope he doesn’t mind, because I’d hate to annoy him - he’s always been so nice to me.)

Happy Freakin’ Birthday

Yay, I’m 19....well 29. So what...Whatever...One more year till I’m 30. Whoop-dee-doo. If I was a drinker, I go out and drink...but I’ve hit my quota this year(4-5 beers, I forget how many I stop at), so I’ll just enjoy a nice September day, hope you will as well.

A few political quizzes

I got this quiz in my e-mail box yesterday, and I immediately shared it with the people over at Lee’s site. It is a “blind taste test” of the five major political candidates for governor in the recall election (alphabetically: Cruz Bustamante, Peter Camejo, Arianna Huffington, Tom McClintock, and Arnold Schwarzenegger), scheduled for October 7th. The results over there have been extremely mixed, but generally right-wing, split mainly between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tom McClintock, with a smattering of “hits” on the other three candidates.

Then there was this Political Compass quiz, mentioned by one of the readers ("Sliv") over at Lee’s site. I took a screen capture of where I fell, and included it below.

Feel free to take either or both, and tell us how you did. No, you don’t have to include a picture on the compass, just give us the numbers.

No rest for the wicked

Or is that “weary”? I’ve been told that it fits, either way, but I haven’t had a chance to sit down yet to bitch about today’s news…

First, it appears that not only do stars eat each other, so do galaxies...

You may not find it interesting, but I do. In a “what does that mean for me?” kinda way. It doesn’t mean anything in particular, but it’s still interesting. It would be cool to watch super-sped-up (since the whole thing is supposed to take many thousands of years), but the best we could hope for is a computer simulation.
