(Sorry for the absences but sometimes you just have to take a break from an activity to learn to appreciate it again.) “SFC Spadde , take your platoon and watch this house. There is a suspected terrorist organizer living in it and we need it surveilled .” “Roger that Sir. I’ll set up in that warehouse down the street and have a 24 hour rotation of troops watching and taking notes.” “What?!? Goddamnit SFC Spadde !@ You will take yo...
For any of you UN adoring chuckleheads out there who think that "sanctions" and expressions of "deep dissapointment" mean anything to anyone outside of the UN's own pathetically corrupt organization here is this tidbit straight from the horse's mouth: "Even if (the Westerners) destroy our scientists, their successors would continue the job," he said. "It would not be easy for them to solve the (nuclear) case by imposing sanctions or anything like that." - Former ...
CSPAN2 has had Karpinksi huckstering her new book all day today and Bill O’reilly just had Mary Mapes on the Factor promoting her unfinished 6 figure advance book on Memogate as well. "Fuck up and we the Moronic Consumer Drones will make you rich!" is the message here. The Karpinski thing makes my blood boil as she will live out her life in c...
I was playing around a bit more with GE and the criminal aspects of my brain started barking very loudly for attention. Frankly GE works far too well in some cases. Lets take the following as an example : This represents a dual use commercial airport/military airfield which sees *massive* use and also for the discerning viewer with the right knowledge also contains a lovely view of a fairly sensitive location. This is not how easy I want photo recon to be for an Islamist with a Jiha...
This is mainly in response to this article here . Your freedom of expression is not exclusive. Freedom does in fact extend to businesses as well folks. Your employer can refuse to spend it money on anything it likes. That is *it's* freedom of expression you see. You can be legitimately fired for saying things on your blog that you would be fired for saying on a street corner. If you work at IBM and you stand out on the street telling people how much IBM sucks and that your boss b...
MSNBC 5 minutes ago: "No one should be called a 'looter'. They should all be called 'foragers'." I can't express the trite smugness in the woman's voice as she spouted this bit of horseshit. She really thought she had solved a World Issue with her exercise in inanity. Look, you "forage" for food and water. A TV under one arm and a gym bag of DVD's under the other is not "foraging". They call that looting you politically correct schmuck. Slack Jawed Boo...
Ladies and gentlemen of JU You simply have to read this guy bitch about how the news let him down because Rita wasn't as bas as it could have been and how evacuation was a really big hassle that "officials" should have somehow waved a magic fucking wand and made into a Disney goddamned vacation for him! *puff* *pant* *drool* Context people... context... This man has already lost his a mere month after watching Katrina smash N.O. a...
If you don't remember what happened during Rathergate look here at LGF's archive of Charles' debunking of the memos that very day. For impact you can simply watch the promos for KGUN Channel 9 here in Arizona where they have been trumpetting there commitment to fact checking ever since. Heck in the local news stories they actuall put up on-screen checklist of verified fact points for any major coverage. Wear you...
Maybe it is just me but all the news networks covering the JetBlue emergency landing seem terribly disappointed when expert after expert tells them that this is really not that serious. Even Sean Hannity redirected to try and find out if other cases ended in tragedy. Fucking ghouls.
Just a quick follow-up here.... When do my personal choices absolve the Federal and State governments of responsibility for my plight? Katrina is a tragedy no doubt and the Government is rushing in to help these folks as best they can. I take serious issue with folks who are bitching that it is not enouigh or that it is too slow. If you live in the Red River Valley's flood plain and it floods I don't mind my tax dol...
Not sure how much to credit this yet but the Guardian is reporting a quote from the Dept. of Health and Human Services stating that Katrina’s death toll is in the thousands already. Thousands to me is somewhere around 2000~3000. Does this mean that the whole nation will enact draconian anti-hurricane policy now? Why do we discriminate between tragic events? Does 3,000 killed by Terrorists trump 3,000 by hurrican...
*edit (This article contains extensive use of the word "fuck". Also you can add typos to my list of fuck-ups at the bottom) There was a discussion ongoing here between myself and another blogger here regarding whether or not your job is responsible for your actions. Let me make this clear : No one is responsible for anything you do but YOU . Not in the slightest. Want to differ? Get institutionalized or v...
[sarcasm] I mean really he works 12 hours a day (and never the same 12) and then he insists that I manage to keep on top of the bills somehwere in my 12 hour a day at home schedule! What does he expect of me? I mean I spend 3 hours a day on houseworks at least! SO what if eh does the dishes after I spend an hour a day cooking for him? Thats still 4 hours of solid work out of the 12 he is away from home! That bastard! How dare he earn a living! Fuck him and his "military...
Here is some great news if you are an Iraqi (or possibly a Canadian Muslim) woman. Now that your men ar free to make their own constituion you will have less rights under them than you did under Saddam. Shit I wish that Iraq was a puppet government of the US when I hear shit like this : The first is the draft constitution of Iraq, now due next week. Iraqi women like Naghem Khadim, demonstrating on the streets of Najaf, are fighting to prevent an article from being put in the constitution tha...
At long last all of our vehicles have been washed, flenshed, purged, poked, prodded, inspected, and put on the damn boat! I may not be back in the States yet, but I will be within days. For the record : Fuck Kuwait and every grain of sand in it. The people who settled here were either quitters or pessimists. Honestly who the fuck were the people who decided to live in this shithole? Fahad the Goat-herder circa 200 B.C. : &n...
