McCain

McCain

This reminds me. A few nights ago I heard that media jock sniffer John McCain was off to Europe to look for evidence of global warming.  Think about that.  What a pandering putz.

Chewed wires.

A son-of-a-bitch named Boss.

I'm about one hour into a project when the power goes out, and I haven't saved.  But, wait.  The power's not out.  WTF?  The monitor is black, save for the ''no signal'' message that displays when the computer is off.  But it's not off.  I see lights twinkling.  Dammit, my computer has crapped out.  I reboot.  At that  very second I look down and see my grand-dog "Boss" merrily chewing on the monitor wire.  Son-of-a-bitch!

After spending an hour of doing what amounts to splicing blood vessels in the brain together, I have a display of sorts.  Everything is bluish, and my resolution is stuck on 800 x 600, but  it's something.  And, no, I did not  smack boss, I just groaned in agony, and he knew.  Greep, if you read this, I want a 42 inch plasma replacement. 
UPDATE Sunday: Boss just stepped on the wounded appendage that is my display cable, and it popped back to normal. Good doggie.

Hook nose

Why girls need men

My guess is that Julie here was walking her dog  by the lake when a fisherman snagged Buster with an errant cast. ''You stupid moron,''she yelled. ''I'm sending you the vet bill."  Which she couldn't do because she didn't know the guy, and wouldn't listen  even when he tried to say, "Sorry Missy, but I'll just snip that barbed end of the hook with my Leatherman, and it'll slide right out.  Splash a little red whiskey on that nose and he'll be good as new.''  Oh, no, Julie instead paid the vet $120.  Girls just won't listen sometimes.

Hitcins says ''Fuck you'' to Maher's ilk.

Bill Maher's Ilk
Christoper Hitchins, who once described himself on C-Span as being ''not just liberal, but radical liberal,'' hadn't met Hezbocrats like Bill Maher and friends at the time. Hell, who had?

Transcript of the relevant portion of the discussion about Iran on the August 25 season premiere of the weekly HBO show aired live Friday nights at 11pm EDT/10pm CDT:

Christopher Hitchens: “Who wants a Third Word War? The Iranian President says that one member state of the United Nations should be wiped physically from the map with all its people. He says the United States is a Satanic power. Members of his government, named members of his government have been caught sponsoring deaths squads. He's lied, he's lied to the European Union about his nuclear program-”

Bill Maher: “But you know that a lot-”

Hitchens: “He says the Messiah is about to come back. Who's looking for a war here?”

Maher: “So does George Bush, by the way [audience applause]. That's not facetious [audience applause continues].”

Hitchens: “That's not facetious. Your audience, which will clap at apparently anything, is frivolous. [oohs and groans from audience, Hitchens gives them the finger] Fuck you, fuck you. [groans continue]”

Maher: “I was just saying what the President of Iran and the President of America have in common is that they both are a little too comfortable with the idea of the world coming to an end.”

Hitchens: “Cheer yourself up like that. The President has said, quite a great contrast before the podium of the Senate, I think applauded by most present, in his State of the Union address, that we support the democratic movement of the Iranian people to be free of theocracy -- not that we will impose ourselves on them, but that if they fight for it we're on their side. That seems to be the right position to take, jeer all you like.” - [Via SondraK, Via  Brent Baker at NewsBusters]

Muslim Mother's for Peace?

They're up Cindy Sheehan's Colon

Where are the Muslim mothers for peace?

On Tuesday's show, Rush Limbaugh obliquely answered that question posed in today's London Times. 
"How do you negotiate with people whose objective is to kill you? Whose pathway to so-called paradise is our death? How do you negotiate with these types? You can't."
Where are the mothers?  Strapping explosive vests on their babies, that's where.  Did you watch "I Muslim?''  The mother of a child suicide bomber saying "I hope to see more every day."  You cannot negotiate with these people, but you can kill them if you have the will to survive.

Irish Spring
Lost in a sea of revelation about his manipulated life is, perhaps, where we learned that John F. Kerry is not Irish, despite years of pretense to the contrary.  Well, if he was Irish, this is the group we'd likely find him schmoozing with.
