For those who are confused
A quiz to answer that burning question…
Are you gay?
Don’t forget the Slut test…
Sorry about the lack of blogging…
...but I have had papers to research and write, and a monsterous workload, due to a non-workingsumbit’ that I have to cover for....it’s government, so you get rewarded if you learn to not work.
That ain’t supposed to be funny.
I will post tomorrow morning. Bet on it. Early. It’ll be a nice anti-leftist rant.
Topic suggestions? Leave ‘em in the Comments.
Another bad GDP number
Oh no, the economy only grew at a 4.2% clip in the first quarter this year.
I wonder if the Democrats will seize upon this number and demonize it. They’re above that, aren’t they?
Another blog scoop
The ever fastidious Drudge Report has link to a story today, 4/29/2004, about liquid body armor.
It sounded familiar to me, since I could have sworn to have reading about that already. Oh yeah, I did, over at Kallini.com. Last week Friday.
But yes, the media folks out there don’t take blogs seriously. We don’t do show prep. Yeah, pretty soon, we won’t need that thing called a newspaper; in fact, I don’t even read my local news paper, except for sports.
Where is that Bush mural?
Or are you people wearing your mandatory Bush lapel pins?
Many North Koreans died a “heroic death” after last week’s train explosion by running into burning buildings to rescue portraits of leader Kim Jong-il and his father, the North’s official media reported on Wednesday.
Portraits of Kim and his late father, national founder Kim Il-sung, are mandatory fixtures in every home, office and factory in the hardline communist state of 23 million. All adults are required to wear lapel pins bearing images of one or both Kims.
This is what I don’t understand from the Bush empire crowd. I don’t see GW’s portrait all over the place (ala Saddam), there’s no Bush statue, and I don’t remember the last time we had a military parade down Pennsylvania Avenue where Bush presided over.
If George W. Bush really wanted to be emperor of all he surveys, he’s doing a crappy job, quite honestly.
Where is the media on this one?
To listen to the media (and if we had this bunch in World War II, we’d all be speaking German), Al Sadr seems to be running rough-shod over us and all is seemingly lost. However, there is a resistance movement sprouting in places like Najaf.
FOR the past month they have been the rude young pretenders, a rag-tag slum army ruffling the quiet dignity of Iraq’s holiest city.
For every day that the United States army fails to act on its threat to crush them, the Shiite militiamen of the radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr have grown in confidence in their stronghold in Najaf.
Now, however, a shadowy resistance movement within might be about to succeed where the 2,500 US marines outside the city have failed.
Well it’s about time the Iraqis started to rise up against this thug.
The group calls itself the Thulfiqar Army, after a twin-bladed sword said to be used by the Shiite martyr Imam Ali, to whom Najaf’s vast central mosque is dedicated.
Residents say leaflets bearing that name have been circulated in the city in the last week, urging Sadr’s al-Mahdi army to leave immediately or face imminent death.
This is the only way to deal with terrorists. Drop this phony, bullshit negotiation and just kill them. They offer nothing to a free Iraq or us.
