Bill saves the airlines

Letter the the editor -- WSJ

Dump the male flight attendants. No one wanted them in the first place. Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers! What the hell - the attendants have gotten old and haggard-looking. They don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss? The strippers would at least triple alcohol sales, and get a "party atmosphere" going in the cabin.  Every businessman in this country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women. Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary, thus saving even more money.  Hell, I suspect tips would be so good that we could charge the women for working and have them kick back 20% of the tips. Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women. Hijackings would come to a screeching halt, and the airline industry would see record revenues. This is definitely a win-win situation if we handle it right - a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset. Why the hell didn't Bush think of this? Why do I still have to do everything myself? Sincerely, Bill Clinton Rejuoy

And that's the end of that story.

New System

Transition

LINDA SOG Last night I started the process of FTPing all my blog files to my hard drive, and went to bed.  When I awoke, guess what?  It worked.  Holy Crap.  I don't know what will happen at midnight (tonight or tomorrow) when Power Web takes the old system off line, but Linda SOG has graciously offered to install MT 3.2 on the new server, so any inconvenience will be short lived.  It is my intention to bail the hell out of Blogger, and just use it as a backup system.

Top 10 Reasons to love EMP

Don't Worry, Be Happy

I couldn't stop thinking about the possibility for, and consequences of, an E-Bomb attack [Video] .  Since I'm basically a ''glass half-full" guy, or more accurately, master in the art of  mental mitigation of ruinous situations,  I've come to terms with it. In fact, I look forward to EMP  Here, then ... THE TOP TEN BENEFITS OF AN E-BOMB ATTACK 10.  People who own guns with ammunition will run things  9.   "I paid two months ago.  Check your records." (Universal use)  8.    No CBS News  7.    Porn is out, actual dating is in  6.    Nobody cares about Spotted Owls  5.   No more red lights; gas is 2¢ a gallon.  4.    Public scolds are dunked in the river  3.    Won't have to hear Chuck Schumer pontificating.  2.    Only one political speech a year, at  the Fourth of July picnic ...  and the number one benefit of an E-Bomb attack   1.  Actors will ply their trade on stage where they can be beaten afterwards.. You may have your own list.

Plame Out

Hitchins 'flips' again

Just days after he famously flipped Hezbocomic Bill Maher's trained seals, Christopher Hitchins does the same thing to Joe Wilson, Valerie Plame, Colin Powell, and Richard Armitage. Although figuratively, his message is no less obvious - these are disgusting people.  I would love to see Plame and Wilson brought before a moot court (or even better, the real deal).  I'm certain I can make a better case for treason, and their execution, than you can in defense. I'm also oddly satisfied.  While the media were going ga-ga over Colin Powell - for the past 15 years,  he made my skin crawl.  I was right. As most of us have long suspected, the man who told Novak about Valerie Plame was Richard Armitage, Colin Powell's deputy at the State Department and, with his boss, an assiduous underminer of the president's war policy. (His and Powell's—and George Tenet's—fingerprints are all over Bob Woodward's "insider" accounts of post-9/11 policy planning, which helps clear up another nonmystery: Woodward's revelation several months ago that he had known all along about the Wilson-Plame connection and considered it to be no big deal.) - Plame Out Since this was a left media production, there will be no public mea culpa. The damage is done.  Click-click.

This edited clip on laser weaponry, from the Military Channel's Future Weapons series, is the most intriguing.  As you watch it, there are two recent events to have in mind.   ` The Taepodong-2 was not ready for prime time Two killed in Katyusha rocket strikes on Haifa , etc., etc.

Our physician told us that if Mother Superior doesn't get one of these real soon, all hope is lost. Sigh. I wish there was a way. Sigh.

Asses weapon of destruction

This smuggled picture shows an Islamic Revolutionary Guard setting the trigger on what Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called, ''a major surprise that will be unleashed on Americans and their Zionist lapdogs."  Whoa.  Idea from MKR

Blue Screens

Any troubles the GOP may be in during the mid-term elections have little to do with the war on terror.  In fact, that's about the only thing they have going for them.  Today's democrats can only be elected in a vacuum, and this is apparently what's sucking the air.  Kenny, Kyle and Cartman may be backing Hillary, because she'd be fun fodder, but I lean towards a more responsible outlook.  The American disk drive is cluttered with broken links, missing files, bad sectors, and a corrupted operating system.  We need to reinstall the OS that we started with, so let's get on with it.  Maybe the shock of seeing a blue screen error message, in the guise of, say,  Speaker Pelosi, will finally get us off our duff.  Our country cannot survive another Democratic administration. I'm not making that up.

Just so you know, unless I resolve this situation in the next few days, every post I've made on Terpsboy.com, and every picture, sound, and video I've posted anywhere over the last four years will go up in smoke.  That may not be a bad thing.  My reluctance to engage in this process is mystifying even to me. Must be some deep-seated desire to "be caught," so to speak. Anyway, if there's anything you've been meaning to save, do it now. Scotch, anyone? MGT. Thank you for contacting Support.

1,000,000 rounds per minute

Metal Storm

Metal Storm, the weapon system that can fire at the rate of 1,000,000 rounds of ball ammo a minute, or 4,000 rounds of 40mm grenades a second.  Holy Crap. Deer season is almost here!

Joe Biden, Putz extrodinaire

Let's ask the Peanut Gallery

I'm trying to think of the last Democrat who ran for president who wasn't a total clown.  Only name I can come up with is Paul Tsongas, who ran in 1992.  Maybe that's because he's dead. I think he was a putz too while he was breathing.  Look at Joe Biden, for example.  Sen. Joseph "Mandingo" Biden says he can hold his own in a 2008 presidential primary against Democratic contenders from the South, noting that his home state of Delaware was a "slave state." Biden dismissed the notion that he was a "Northeastern liberal" who would have a poor showing in the South against other likely contenders such as Virginia Gov. Mark Warner and former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, the 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee. -Biden not worried about Southern Dems - Yahoo! News Doo-Dah, Doo-Dah.  Why is this guy running?  There must be a lot of money skimmed in these races, that's the only reason I can figure automatic losers like Biden run. JFC.

Future Schlock

I don't profess to have vision into the future on a par with, say, Jules Verne, but a lot of people have said I do compare with his brother Vernon. Like today. A while back I got one of these radar guns for Hucker. He was going to an open Orioles pitching tryout, and wanted to monitor his ball speed. Thinking about that just now, I had this vision. I see cell phones being developed with radar capability. Local gummints will begin paying a commission on ticket revenue collected by citizens willing to snap their neighbors doing 30 in a 25 zone. They will rationalize it by saying, "I'm making my neighborhood safer." They will all be democrats. I see that happening.
