SNL DeNiro Skit

Mustaf Herod Apyur Poupr, and other dangerous characters.

Cuzzin Ricky sent me this SNL clip where DeNiro gives a Homeland Security briefing. An oldie, but it will make you laugh again.

EMP Warfeare

EMP Warfeare

I spent much of yesterday watching the Military Channel's ''Future Weapons'' extravaganza.  There was much to feel good about (I loved the Barret .50 sniper rifle segment), but this report on EMP (electromagnetic pulse) warfare was discomforting, to say the least. Of course, it's nothing that Nancy Pelosi can't fix. " Here's a clip. PS - The next big consumer marketing niche, I predict, will be EMP protection devices for the home. Call your broker. USA USA

Beck Decision again and again

Beck

Shakespeare kept a copy of Nostradamus at his bedside, which probably accounts for the passage, "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers turned judge by Carter and Clinton."   That's the famous passage as it appeared in the draft manuscript of King Henry VI.  The Bard, however, feared that high school students would be put off by so enigmatic a reference, so it was altered. Too bad.  Nearly a 20 years ago the U. S. Supreme Court established what are now known as "Beck rights" in the landmark decision Communication Workers v. Beck.1 Beck rights dictate that workers cannot be forced under union contracts to pay any dues or fees beyond those necessary for the performance of the union's employee representation duties.¹.    To that end, employers were supposed to post notices so employees would be made aware, and know where they could report violations. "Stroke of a pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool." - (Paul Begala on Clinton's use of the Executive Order) In 1992 Bill Clinton became President, and his Attorney General  Janet Reno chose not to enforce Beck.  Simple as that.  A decade later President Bush  issued his own Executive Order (13201) , requiring federal contractors to post notices informing employees that they cannot be compelled to pay union dues spent for partisan politics or any other activities unrelated to collective bargaining.  It took Clinton Judge  Henry Kennedy Jr. about ten seconds to invalidate the Bush E.O.  So much for ''stroke of the pen'' when it's Republican ink. Today, "Numerous conservative groups are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate a Washington state law that requires unions to get permission from non-union employees before spending their mandatory dues on political causes and activities." (Union Foes Seek High Court Ruling on Dues for Politics ).  All of this is to illustrate that when it comes the law, liberals get to choose which one they will obey, thanks to fellow traveler judges  Shakespeare got it right the first time.

Ryugyong Hotel

Interesting and Secret Stuff UPDATED

This is the the Ryugyong Hotel in  North Korea's capital city of Pyongyang,  It's a real monument to the glory of Stalinist communism.  Construction began in 1987,  at an estimated cost of $750 million, or 2% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP).  There are no windows, plumbing, or wiring nineteen years later.  It was so poorly engineered that it's literally sagging in the middle, and in danger of falling over.  Kim Jong Il is trying to lure foreign investors to pony up around $300 million to make some corrections.  I'm not making that up. Call your broker today. Anyway, this is all pretty much public, if underreported, knowledge.  Our media usually look for bright spots in islands of despair, like North Korea and Cuba, so maybe it's pure racism on their part that we've heard so little about the glory of  Kim's health care system.  Sorry, I was being snide, not to mention off-track.  There are reasons why a veil of secrecy has been placed over the Ryugyong Hotel.  A veil I am about to lift.  Slowly.  Sensuously.  Whoa. In 1994,  Clinton administration factotums were frozen at the helm after North Korean dictator Kim Sung Il announced he was taking his fuel rods out of storage, and going full throttle into nuclear development.  Privately, President Clinton asked Jimmy Carter to act as an intermediary, despite warnings that Jummy  was a loose cannon.  The White House said that Carter was acting on his own.  My bosses in the, er, import business were quite concerned that Carter might do something very foolish.  To that end I was parachuted into the Potong District of  Pyongyang the night before Carter arrived.  My instructions were to kill him if he tried to surrender the United States to the NorKs.  Posing as a street vendor selling Kimchi out of a goat cart just outside the meeting hall, I would be at-the-ready (my eyes were pulled back with Scotch Tape - hey,it works!).  The conference room had been bugged (still is as far as I know), and if a clear and present danger eventuated, I'd get a signal, and gain access by walking into the hall saying ''I have 6 order Kimchi for Dear Leader."  Once in, I'd spray the room.  Prolly would not have made it home, but that's the price of freedom. Of course that wasn't necessary.  All Carter gave away were a few billion dollars, a nuclear reactor, and 1000 videos for Sung's star struck son, Jong (now North Korea's megalomaniac-in-charge).  In my spare time I did some sight seeing, and was drawn to the Ryugyong Hotel.  You can't not be. It's the tallest building in the country.  What I discovered was astounding.  On close inspection, it's quite apparent that the building was never intended to be a hotel.  I took pictures;  this one was never handed over.  Now you know what we're dealing with.

Dean Esmay- Daily Kos

Nutroots

Congrtulations to Dean Esmay for this dynamite post about ''Nutroot'' Markos Moulitsas.  How bad is this guy Kos?  Think of me and this web site, only twice as frenzied and half as accurate, in control of the Republican party, and you have it. We're talking Rabid Dogs 101. Markos Moulitsas and the Company You Keep by Dean Well, Republicans may have made a lot of mistakes in the last couple of years, but they're generally not stupid. I predicted months ago that Republicans would soon begin combing the far-left hate-blog Daily Kos as part of their opposition research for the upcoming elections. They would be idiots not to. Prominent Democrats from all over the country have openly aligned with Markos and his group of Blame America First defeatists. Voters have every right to know that information before they walk into the voting booth. And so, I note, it has begun with the first in-depth look at what Markos and his sycophantic crew of crypto-nazis are really all about. (Cont) Please read the whole deal.  Here are some of Dean's other links on the sbject. The Company You Keep The Company Ned Lamont Keeps...

Islam and Capitalism Can Coexist?

D-

Turks Knock on Europe’s Door With Evidence That Islam and Capitalism Can Coexist That's the case today's New York Times makes, based on a backwater region of Turkey. ''Many Europeans and secular Turks have dismissed this poor, largely agricultural region as the “other” Turkey, a non-European backwater where women in head scarves are more prevalent than businessmen in pinstripes. Islam, they argue, never went through its own Reformation and so is not receptive to capitalism and innovation. ''Yet Kayseri and surrounding towns like Hacilar have produced so many successful Muslim entrepreneurs that the area has earned the title of 'Anatolian tiger.'” Great, wish it were so that hope existed.  What's missing from this equation is what happens if/when Turkey's national government falls under fundamentalist rule?  Is there another example we can look to?  Hello?

pirated software

Life with the fast crowd

A US judge sentenced Danny Ferrer to six years in prison for operating a website, BuysUSA.com, that sold pirated software.  What was this guy thinking?  Selling Adobe Systems and Macromedia software on the web?  Anyway, just desserts for Ferrer, but it was one hell of a business. Judge T.S. Ellis III of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia ordered Ferrer to forfeit ownership of several airplanes, boats, cars, a helicopter and an ambulance. Among the vehicles Ferrer must give up are a 1992 Lamborghini; a 2005 Hummer; three Chevrolet Corvettes; a 2005 Lincoln Navigator; and a 28-foot Marinette hardtop express boat. Ferrer has also agreed to surrender the proceeds of sales of two fire trucks that were also bought with profits from BuysUSA.com, the DOJ said. - MacWorld

I don't know where this picture was taken, but it pretty much captures everything liberals hate about America in one fell swoop. If we stipulate that one of those bumpers sports a Support our Troops sticker, it's the whole enchilada.

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.

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.
