In You Face Amelica! Chinese Toy Company Makes Replica of Stealth Chopper Used in Bin Laden Raid

“   The U.S. operatives used explosives to destroy what was left of the damaged aircraft, which experts believe is a modified Black Hawk, to prevent it from falling into foreign hands. But the explosion was not enough to cover up all of its wreckage, leaving behind a tail that generated speculation over the helicopter’s actual design. “Were it not for the fact that one of them crash-landed and had to be destroyed, the world would probably not have realized that the U.S. possesses such stealthy helicopter variants," the product description read. ” Oh goody.

How to ZAP a Camera: Using Lasers to Temporarily Neutralize Camera Sensors

The downside of recent camera technology has been the creation of  the nuisance/quasi-illegal class of stalker.  Some operate with  shoe cams to surreptitiously scope your plumbing. Other perverts operate under the government umbrella.  This latter class use traffic cams to transfer wealth from you to them. To my knowledge neither operate with the victim's permission (has there been a municipality that first held a voter referendum?). Enough talk. It seems that when hit with a laser beam, cameras (any camera) will have its vision temporarily impaired.  Well, temporary unless you have one of those jim-dandy lasers that will bring down a ICBM - like the one we almost had until Obama stopped development.  Whoops.  Sidetracked.  This guy has done some serious investigation into this subject, and especially on the cheap.  Below, a few selections.  If you're interested in learning more you can go to How to ZAP a Camera: Using Lasers to Temporarily Neutralize Camera Sensors This cheap laser pointer emitted an oval-shaped beam (as is often the case) that was about 2mm by 4mm in diameter at very short distances, and expanded to over 5cm by 10cm at 100 meters (due to cheap collimating optics). In medium and bright light, it was difficult to see with an unaided eye. The obvious solution was to couple the laser to an optical scope and pre-calibrate them. Telescopes and binoculars generally do not have cross-hair reticules built in, but rifle scopes do. Rifle scopes are available at prices upwards of $2,000, but like handguns, most of the market appears targeted at lower-income customers, and cheap rifle scopes can be found for under $10. All rifle scopes have built-in reticules with some form of cross-hair or dot at the center, which are internally adjustable with set screws. The only problem is that, unlike telescopes, rifle scopes are made to be viewed with the eye several centimeters from the rear optics, since they are mounted in front of the operator's face. (This distance is specified as "eye relief," and is typically 2 - 5 inches but is never zero.) A simple prototype system was built with a $30 mail order 5mw red laser (635 nm wavelength, which appears much brighter than 670 or 690 nm red) and a $10 rifle scope with a 4X magnification (Tasco Rimfire, made for small game hunting). The laser and scope were secured together and the cross-hair adjusted to center on the laser beam at 100 meters. Through the rifle scope, the glint reflected from the lens was indeed apparent, particularly when the camera lens was zoomed in. It was easy to intermittently hit the lens but difficult to maintain aim by hand. A second prototype expanded in several directions. First, it is tripod-based, with a precision head allowing independent adjustment of its 3 axes (Bogen/Manfrotto "Junior Geared Head," complete system costs around $200). Then, a larger rifle scope was used for a bigger, brighter image (Tasco World Class 3-9x zoom, $70). Finally, the cheap laser pointer was replaced with a laser gun sight, which has the same Class IIIa power rating but much better optics, resulting in a more circular and collimated beam (Beamshot 1001 for $110). These gun sights also have adjustment screws to align the beam, durable metal cases, and many options of mounting hardware. So, for under $400, a rather serious camera zapper can be assembled. If either the camera, or target, is moving, then some form of aiming and dynamic tracking is required. One solution is to do it ourselves. A third prototype was built to be small and hand-held for near and medium range moving cameras The result was made with a Beamshot 1001 laser gun sight and a small monocular made for golf range finding (Tasco Golf Scope, $20), basically a small telescope with a grid-like reticule inside. Unlike a rifle scope, its eye relief distance is zero, which makes it comfortable to use hand-held. This new system could fit in a pocket and was very easy to use. It turns out that precise calibration was not necessary, since the beam is easily visible in the scope at near and medium range distances. If one wanted to scare away a news cameraperson, this system would be ideal. I know what some of you are saying.  "But Rodge, how do us girls protect ourselves from this guy?  Simple.   Insert this and go regimental. You're welcome.

Mmmmmm- Pig fat

Did a pork-coated bullet kill Bin Laden? Seems so    LOL— Military cartridges use pig fat lubricants.

I do see potential for a replay of history here. When the  Brits, in 1857 India, issued gunpowder cartridges that were believed to be greased with cow or pig fat, which insulted both Hindus and Muslims, rioting ensued among the Sepoy (Indian  regiments).  Let's hope that Muslims don't do the same here, as unusual as that would be.  Ahem. But, if they do, a workable solution may be found in that history. “ Vengeance was swift and harsh: suspected mutineers were tied to cannons and executed. Poof!

He's Not So Smart

Today's Best Article Ever Written Stop It Already -- He's Not So Smart

I was Chief Articles Editor of UCLA Law Review and later had the honor of clerking for the Hon. Danny Julian Boggs of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, one of the nation's most brilliant jurists, who later rose to become Chief Judge of the Sixth Circuit.  To be selected as Chief Articles Editor, I had to research and write the Law Review Comment of a lifetime.  In time, it was published and deemed good enough that I was named law review chief articles editor.  In the years that followed, that Law Review Comment has been cited by federal courts in at least seven published judicial opinions, and in several other unpublished opinions.  It has been cited and quoted often in other people's legal scholarship. And that is "how it works."  To be a law review editor-in-chief, a Chief Articles Editor, a Chief Comments Editor of a law review, it is a sine qua non that you publish something fabulous, a real scholarly piece of work.  Many dozens of America's finest law students do exactly that every year.  Those articles later become part of a vast searchable electronic library of legal scholarship.   The thing is, I cannot find Barack Obama's great piece of work, the scholarship one would presume he researched, drafted, crafted, and honed, that earned him the presidency of the Harvard Law Review.  The name "Obama" is the kind of search term that should do the job.  But I cannot find any scholarship published by him that reveals the exceptional brilliance that paved the way to his achievement.  So there is no published scholarship that refutes the increasing sense so many of us share that we Americans elected a President who maybe is not so smart as the media's campaign hype suggested.  Perhaps even a rube.  Excerpted from "Stop It Already -- He's Not So Smart,"  By Dov Fischer toadold

Okay, that's funny.  I love to tweak Apple cultists like everyone does.  Bur fair is fair. What's not funny *sigh* is how wretched Windows 7 is, and continues to become with every update.  For example, when I transfer pictures from my Canon A560 to the computer, I expect to be able to put them in whatever the hell directory I want.  It was a battle, because Mr. 7 wants to "organize" pictures in a some hierarchical system of its own design, and to hell with what I want. After a fashion I found a way to do it, but now I discover that the 7 pricks have lassoed and herded them back into the corral.  Obviously, then,  someone at Microsoft found out I was doing things the wrong way; cracked my knuckles with a ruler and corrected things.  I call that breaking and entering.  The reason for all this is obvious to, mostly, old timers.  The gene that makes programmers programmers is the same one that makes people control freaks.  It is their natural tendency to thrill at having dominion over people not as bright as they.  These ambitions are controlled in the carefully supervised programming environment.  Guess  what?  Yes, the inmates have escaped oversight, evidently, and are run amok.  If all this makes you think "my God, he's describing government," you're right.  The ambition to control other people attracts the same personality.  When you see a seventh grader campaigning like hell to be elected class president, after nominating himself, you are seeing a future programmer, a manipulator of people.  Here's an example of that culture, one that exists in Microsoft today.  Beginning with Windows 7, the time waster called Microsoft Hearts underwent an extraordinary metamorphosis.  The key move was retaining statistics from prior games.  The player is now allowed to win, say,  25% of the time with minimum cheating in the form of reneging.   At about the 40% win level however, it's total war.  By that I mean all pretense of playing by the rules is gone.  Every hand is programmed to  make it impossible for you to win.  Stacked deck and reneges galore.  If you still manage to get to the point where a win is possible, even probable, the game uses tactics tantamount to shooting you and declaring victory.  You will simply be trampled. I swear to Jesus, I just now had a moment of perfect clarity.  Microsoft is  running the Democrat party.

A Novel

Special pre-publishing peek at my new novel, "I SAID I WANTED 'CHOVIE'S"

"What are you doing— what is that thing," the captive gasped? "This? This is a 12 volt battery.  These are jumper cables." He pointed at the man's crotch, "and those are your wee balls." The captive's naked body was restrained in a metal chair, by what looked like seat belts.  He could see the shadowy figures of  maybe  a half dozen people. Two appeared to be women.  The single  bulb hanging overhead, the only light in the room, a garage perhaps, was the stuff of B movies. A blinking red light from a tripod mounted video camera meant this was being taped. "Do you know who the fuck I am? "  demanded the captive?  "Do you have any idea of the forces being mobilized to find me?  And  you?" "No asshole.  We randomly snatch people from the Congressional Country Club golf course, after neutralizing a small army of armed guards, with no idea who we're snatching. Are you— I don't know? Are you Trini Lopez?  Brad Pitt? Lady Gaga? " The leader touched the cable leads, held just inches from the captive's eyes.   Snap!  They crackled, producing bright sparks. An electric ozone smell filled the space. . "Who are you people? You'll be lucky to just spend the rest of your lives in prison for this," threatened the captive.  His  bravado wasn't feigned, reeking instead of  arrogant defiance. The leader's wan smile disappeared entirely. "Oh my.  I guess we're all to cock then.  But then,  you're all airy-fairy yourself right now, wouldn't you agree? So you—   you Mr. important person, are here to  tell me everything I want to know." The threat was punctuated by another SNAP! Another brief crackling light show.  "To insure that we get everything we want, we'll start with these clamped to your  balls. I hear it's painful as a root canal.  Then, after we discover you've been lying to us, we'll move to — are you  familiar with the term water boarding?  A nasty business. The Pope would turn Baptist after just a few hours of it.  So trust me, you will cooperate. "What in hell are you talking about!?"  What do I have to tell you? Security codes?   What the fuck  am I supposed to say?"  The captive's fear was now palpable, and smelling of ammonia.  When the leader briefly touched the electrodes to  his nose, he yelped. Urine had  involuntarily streamed, leaving a puddle on the concrete floor.  The leader suppressed a grin at the thought  "free electrolyte."    "What do we want?  Everything. You will tell us everything. Starting with how you came to earth."

Weiner Fall-Out

women prefer pictures from gay guys

“   If you think sending that special someone a photograph of your erect penis is a good idea, think again. WaPo's Monica Hesse asked a few average, ordinary American women -- such as a lawyer in Washington, a porn photographer in San Francisco, and a "women's sexual function" psychologist in Las Vegas -- what sorts of pictures they'd most like to get from a man. Their answers: a made bed with rose petals on it, folded laundry, a clean refrigerator, a hand holding a pan that was just used to cook dinner, and a shelf of books organized alphabetically and by genre. So according to the Washington Post, women prefer pictures from gay guys. ”

LIMITED PRE-RELEASE 2011 Mission Accomplished Commemorative Coin GENUINE COLORIZED US MINT DOLLAR

I'm reclining in my Lounge-O-Matic this morning when a commercial managed to air before I could flip away.  This commercial.  . Listen to that crap!  "It's the patriotic duty of every American to keep these memories alive." Here's the real disturbing part. The syndicators  who put this together are absolutely certain they'll make a crapload of money from it.  Because they've done it before. I posted a Gen. Patton quote in the last post.  It's more than damned obvious that despite his plea, we've been breeding a passel of defectives around here.  Sheesh. It's why democrats always think they'll win.

Quotes

“   Millions of dollars of negative ads are being run to try and scare seniors and trying to confuse seniors. You know, the irony of this Bill, is with all this Mediscare that the Democrats are running, it’s Obamacare itself that ends Medicare as we know it. Obamacare takes half a trillion dollars from Medicare — not to make it more solvent but to spend on this other government program, Obamacare. And then it creates this 15 panel board of unelected, unaccountable, bureaucrats starting next year to price control and ration Medicare for current seniors.  [Weekly Standard] ” That's Paul Ryan responding to the Democrat's decision to block budget cutting and blameRepublicans for trying to kill Medicare. From Hot Air:  "Senate Democrats “leaders” have made a political decision—DO NOTHING and attack Paul Ryan’s budget. Harry Reid told the Los Angeles Times last week. “It would be foolish for us to do a budget at this stage" Here's another quote on a similar subject. “   "Each man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy fighting beside him. We don't want yellow cowards in this Army. They should be killed off like rats. If not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. The brave men will breed more brave men. Kill off the Goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men. George S. Patton

Revisiting stuff that was right then, and still is

“   There are numerous reasons why so many liberal women hate and fear Sarah Palin. However, with the exception of her pro-life stance and perhaps her Christianity, it is not really her "principle-centered policies" that cause the foam-at-the-mouth hissyfits that afflict Palinophobes. They hate her on a much more personal level. - Alana Marie Burke ”

Sometimes people are spot-on about something, but it's not confirmable until later. I recalled a post I made (on December 06, 2009, as it turns out) and went looking for it.  It rhetorically asked,  "Who's afraid of Sarah Palin."  I knew it was an insightful bulls-eye then, and still do, so it's worth revisiting. “ Palin's folksy demeanor, faulty diction and lack of elitist education, combined with pervasive appeal, are what drive her haters nuts. Ultra-liberal feminists detest that a moose-hunting everymom was able to rise to the top of the heap when so many elitist feminists rest on their lily-white laurels and pat themselves on the back for their "enlightened" political views while accomplishing very little. Unplugged The average Jane admires Palin for her ability to forge a path from obscurity to relative power while sticking to her beliefs (and guns), but more than half of Americans view her unfavorably. Yet, despite Palin's low approval numbers, liberals still fear her. Perhaps it is because Palin's view that "This is America and every woman can walk through every door of opportunity" could mobilize enough support from politically disenchanted women to harness a viable voting bloc. It is interesting to note that more men than women believe Palin is qualified to be president - perhaps because they are not personally threatened by her and find the combination of pit bull and femininity intriguing. ” Other observations made by Ms. Burke include:: New York Times columnist David Brooks called Palin a "fatal cancer to the Republican party." If this is accurate, then why are Democrats bent on discrediting her? Wouldn't they do well to let her keep her hopes up and let that cancer fester? Despite their intentions to tear Palin down, her hate club is doing her a great favor with their incessant chatter, which inflames her base and keeps her in the news. If the chatter continues, before they know it, Palin might be on that 2012 ticket. Sarah of course went on to challenge the Republican Party's 2010 hand picked RINOs with her own, mostly nobodies who were actual conservatives. Most of whom won office.  The Left's abject horror over the specter of Sarah Palin with power continues unabated. Giddy-up.

22-page criminal complaint filed with the FBI

22-page criminal complaint filed with the FBI international expert on scanners and document-imaging software

“ An international expert on scanners and document-imaging software filed a complaint with the FBI, "What the Obama administration released is a PDF image that they are trying to pass off as a Certificate of Live Birth Long Form printed on green security paper by the Hawaiian Health Department," Doug Vogt writes, "but this form is a created forgery." [News release] ”

I checked,  and none of the networks, nor major newspapers-of-record,  have bothered to cover this, so it must not have merit.  A similar complaint filed by Robert Quinn with the Florida General Counsel exempts Obama from wrong doing—   because he "specifically requested 2 certified copies of his original birth certificate, not forgeries." “   In conclusion I want to make it un-questionably clear. This forgery complaint is not made against President Obama and is strictly limited to those individuals, along with Director Fuddy, that participated in the fabrication of this blatant forgery. I say this because President Obama has publicly proclaimed they are the producers of this document and hand delivered to the White House by his lawyer, Judith Corley. His letter specifically requested 2 certified copies of his original birth certificate, not forgeries. [WHO AT THE FBI WILL INVESTIGATE THE MULTIPLE CLAIMS OF FORGERY?] ” Yes, inconsistencies were almost immediately brought to light, but just as  immediately refuted by another document expert (Jean-Claude Tremblay),  who appeared to be waiting in the wings. So, who do we believe?  Comedy Central News, and the New York Times?  Or other so called experts, birthers, and climate change deniers?  It's all so confusing.

The Staggeringly Stupid Debbie Wasserman Test

The unkindest cut of all ... “ Republicans think illegal immigration should in fact be a crime!” Rep. Debbie "Wasserman Test" Schultz (D.-Fla.), chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee sigh

“ ... and I probably support a president that is pro-Israel.” “   At the same Christian Science Monitor breakfast, Wasserman Schultz said, “If it were up to the candidates for president on the Republican side, we would be driving foreign cars; they would have let the auto industry in America go down the tubes.” The Hill newspaper quickly reported that Wasserman Schultz owns a 2010 Infiniti FX35, a Japanese car whose parent company is Nissan. The newspaper cited Florida motor vehicle records. ” And this: “ “One of the most tremendous sources of pride for me is that I am the first Jewish woman to represent the state of Florida in Congress. And another tremendous source of pride is that I am a pro-Israel Jewish member of Congress and I probably support a president that is pro-Israel,”  ” This is the braniac who taunted Sarah Palin: "... I'm  ready to the next secretary of State because 'after all, I can see Cuba from my house.' "   And, there's even  more.

CNN's Phony Poll Data

CNN poll puts Obama approval at 54% So how did CNN get a rise in Obama’s approval rating?  Considering that Obama’s overall approval rose while his approval dropped on every single issue?

In all seriousness, considering every damned thing that congress wants to take a real-time pulse on, how is it that - and don't even argue the point - how is it that the lib media gets away with salting polls, knowing full well that they're affecting public policy— Kremlin style? If we're to have a FCC, then they ought fine this offense at say, $1B  for the first offense, and impose a mandatory 20 year prison sentence for the chief executive. This is suborning an election straight away; the most serious crime there is in a democracy.

Even the poseur saw humor in all this.  Joe Farah, not so much— “   ... an example of the most shameful illustration of libel, defamation and tortious interference with a business you are likely to see committed by a major media outlet. It's still there – in all of its infamy. Unretracted. No apology. No offer of recompense from one of the largest and wealthiest privately held companies in the world. And that's why I am, at considerable expense, filing a lawsuit against Mark Warren, Esquire and the Hearst Corporation – because I believe this attack piece, if unchallenged, will further define down our standards for the politics of personal destruction in the media. And that leads me to the cost saving idea of the year.  Hell, of the 21st century!  Rather than spend billions of dollars every year litigating  political disputes, we do this.  As soon as a case is assigned to a judge it will be de facto decided by who appointed that judge to the bench.  Cases being heard by a Carter, Clinton or Obama judge will be decided in favor of the Liberal position.  All others go to Americans.  I believe that if you look at every federal court ruling over the past 30 years, you'll find that this procedure will result in the same result at least 98% of the time.  You're welcome.

Sarah Palin Is Hurting Republicans Whether She Runs or Not “   COMMENTARY | In a political world where perception is everything, Sarah Palin is really hurting right now, according to The Week. The worst part is, she is pulling the Republican Party right down the drain with her. In the past few weeks, Palin has shown all kinds of signs that she is running for president in 2012. She has bought a home in Arizona, hijacked a ride intended for veterans, released a book and announced a bus tour. All of these things say that she is building toward a run for the Republican nomination...or does it? Rumors abound that Palin is simply building toward yet another payday. She has no real relevance without the possibility of running to fuel speculation. Could this be Palin simply being Palin? If Palin is not intending to run for the Republican nomination, then she is simply being selfish blah-blah-blah.  Selfish I tells ya!  The Humanity! ”

So I run across what appears to be Yahoo News asshattery; and the title promises  PDS deliciousness ahead.  I dive right in. Honestly, it first appeared to have an A.P. or Reuters leitmotif , but then the style was a bit too ... what's the word — unlettered?  Yes, too amateurish for someone who actually gets paid, and believe me, I know of which I speak.  So I clicked on the Rodney (author)  link for his curriculum vitae. And here they am: My name is Rodney and I have a lovely wife and two beautiful daughters.  Also, I was the 2008 Ultimate Call for Content Winner, and awarded a Top 100 badge for Associated Content. Well, what the hell?   I've posted better articles than this; like "Barry Soetoro - the corksucker is killing us!," and "Let's hang all them MoFo Democrats." Also, I'm a Top 150 Conservative Websites winner, and some others that I forget, so I need to get on this faux-news wagon and spread some American gospel.  I mean, the Obama Brotherhood already owns AP, ABC, CBS, et al, and I love playing dress-up.  I'm signing up to be a Yahoo Contributor.  And so should you. Maybe I can win some  "Top 1000" ribbons like Rodney.

SNAFU

SNAFU

Would have been considered pretty outrageous for public consumption , but Carole Landis, Martha Raye, and Mitizi Mayfair sang  SNAFU in a short film made for the soldiers during World War 2.  From  carolelandisonline.com I learned that when she stopped giving in to Darryl Zanuck's sexual demands her career suffered. Although she was an established star Carole was given supporting roles in movies like Orchestra Wives and Wintertime. On July 4, 1948 Carole had dinner with Rex Harrison. During the evening he ended their affair. Carole was heartbroken and she committed suicide by taking an overdose of Seconal. According to commenters, "... the skirt is the one she was found in . She was wearing a white peasant blouse, though."  . That's what prolly what really drove her depression, having to wear the same clothes that long. As for me, I always confuse Carol Landis with Carol Lombard. Now I can see that Landis was prettier. T. Mann
