4-F gets caught red-handed

The Fat Fuck From Flint gets caught in an out-and-out lie in an attempt to get free publicity.

Color me shocked.

Except… not, y’know?

No thanks

As a personal entry to the FAQ list post, I regret that I will not be watching Friends tonight. With my non-viewing of tonight’s series-ender, that will bring my grand total Friends viewing to....zero times.

I heard of the show, but quite honestly, when NBC tried to badger me to watch by pairing it with it’s predecessor, Seinfeld (another show set in New York where “friends” hang out at a local shoppe), I still could not watch it.

Could care less about...err, Frank...um, Johnny? No wait, I know one of the names, Joe. That’s right, Joe, I know Joe and uhhhh....Zack, Slater...hold on, I know some of the females.......................Sapphire? Huh, let’s see, Dopey, Sleazy, Slutty...wait, that was the Sarah Jessica Parker show on HBO. Phew, this is hard.

Regardless, don’t care, won’t watch...not on the band-wagon. Bring me South Park tonight. Or hell, give me Smackdown.

**UPDATE-- What did I miss? Anything? Anything?

Well for crying out loud

There, Bush apologized...happy?

Anything else the press wants Bush to do that he could accomodate? Does he have to fulfill their every freakin’ whim? Does he have to put on a purple thing and dance around? Well I’ve had it...I freaking hate the press corps!!!

Come on Fhqwhgads…

Fire Rumsfeld?

I shouldn’t be surprised that a bunch of left-wing Congressmen has their collective panties in a bunch over Rummy.

But I hope this isn’t akin to a head coach getting the vote of confidence from the owner.

Fire Rumsfeld? Don’t think so. Should he step down? Don’t think so. Why? I’m sure these pathetic lefties think they know everything, but as far as this recent incident is concerned, it does not warrant Rumsfeld stepping down.

Moreover, I could care less what Martin Frost, Diane Feinstein or Teddy Kennedy think about him, Rummy should tell them to cram it, with walnuts preferably. The media has glossed over many worse situations in Iraq, prior to us coming there and now, we’re all supposed to be outraged over this Abu Gharib incident?

Well, believe you me; the media can kiss my ass. Watching them right now on the daily press briefing, their sneering attitude towards McClellan is palpable. You can feel them wanting to ask: Why hasn’t Rumsfeld been fired yet?!? Why doesn’t Bush feel responsible for the Abu Gharib incident? Why can’t the press just drop their BS partisan nonsense? I would take them more seriously.

Interesting idea…

I’ve been looking around at the Internet for a long while now, and have noticed that many sites have a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page, including many bloggers. And I got to thinking that it might be a fun project to create one for this page.

Perhaps not coincidentally, the one-year anniversary of this site is fast approaching, so let’s combine the two, shall we?

The trouble is that I have no idea what kind of questions should be asked/answered. That’s where you folks come in.

I am opening the floor for questions - about me (or Steve or John - if they agree). While we reserve the right to refuse to answer obviously offensive questions, or to supply specific identifying information (for reasons of privacy), I’d like to hear any questions you folks might want answered by any or all of us.

The results (if any) will be published as a separate link in the left column.

Ready? Go!

From the “Blame America Anyway” files…

I have seen some evidence that indicates the pictures of British troops “abusing Iraqis” are fakes. They appear (to the photographic experts) to have several small, but crucially important, details wrong, such as British uniform dress code, types of weapons displayed, etc.

Now it seems that the pictures allegedly of American troops raping Iraqi female prisoners actually came from some rather esoteric porn sites.

Money quote:

“The Tunisian site described the photos as the “unedited” versions of actual events and Albasrah ran the photos under the heading “The Abu Ghraib Prison Photos,” indicating they had received the photos via e-mail.

A WND investigation has revealed that most of the photos are taken from the American pornographic website “Iraq Babes,” and the Hungarian site, “Sex in War,” which is linked to by the American site. Both websites are linked to by violent pornography sites and both describe Iraqi women—played by “actresses”—in vulgar terms. (Emphasis added)

Arab networks fabricating stories designed to make America look bad? I’m shocked, shocked, I say!

[UPDATE: I changed the link and quote to the original story source at WND. Now fully Safe For Work.]

[UPDATE II: More news.]

How Cute

The United States of shame....awww.

The Washington Post said it had obtained about 1000 digital pictures which it claims were taken last summer and winter.

The newspaper says it cannot eliminate the possibility that some of the images were staged, but Washington Post reporter Christian Davenport has said he believes the pictures are authentic.

Well, that settles it. Christian Davenport says they’re authentic, so I suppose that’s the end of that chapter.

The new pictures will fuel fears of a backlash against the coalition forces in Iraq from locals. A number of US troops at the Abu Ghraib prison are already facing criminal charges over allegations of abuse.

Will fuel fears? I think the fueling has been coming from the media who are on a never-ending quest to bring down America.

There has been a report stating that these pictures were made as a tool to make other Iraqi prisoners talk. If these photos have helped out in the War, what exactly is the problem? Why should WE apologize for that?

I just “Googled” myself

Amazing. Simply amazing.

Apparently, I’m

  • an insurance salesman
  • a student at least three colleges and two high schools
  • a lawyer certified in three states
  • in prison in two states (for armed robbery and murder, respectively)
  • a mathematician
  • a carpenter
  • a preacher (or maybe just the head of the Church Board, it was unclear)
  • a dentist, and
  • an athletic director

What do you come up with (other than yourself, if you actually appear)?

UPDATE: I suppose I should have provided a link, huh?
