Paging Jules

Here's your Bible Passage ...
 And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers ...

I'm in the final stages of my second bout of Hiney Flu this season. It's what happens when you're around ankle biters. This stage is where you're lackadaisical, not motivated, don't give a ratsass, and are easily put out of sorts.  The Martha Moxley Moakley COAKLEY! story can only keep spirits up so long ( I get confused with Kennedy involvement in "Massachusetts woman getting killed" stories.) .  Especially with flotsam  like this bobbing about in the sea of crap we call news.

U.S. Military Weapons Inscribed With Secret 'Jesus' Bible Codes

Three crack ABC reporters,  Joseph Rhee, Tahman Bradly and Brian Ross,  scoped this one out. Three!  That's more than 25% of the media resources the AP assigned to the critical "fact-check" of Sarah Palin's book, fer chrisake!  Here's the scandal. 

A company with a military contract stamps what ABC calls "secret Jesus code," as the hardware's part number. See that 32JN8:12 up there?  That's it.

U.S. military rules specifically prohibit the proselytizing of any religion in Iraq or Afghanistan ...

You have to be one sorry-ass loser to make a Nightline special out of this.  Hell, ABC has a goddamn slide show .  

I KNOW I'm not even close to being the only person reminded of another Biblical passage, a variation of Ezekiel 25:17, by this story.   Yeah,  JulesClick-click.

Damn!  PPP hinted that things would improve, but they haven't...

These guys claim to know why?  Chomsky is the funniest.  Sullivan nibbles on the edge, but none get it right.  Someone ought to ask us. We know. USA UAS USA!

Andrew Sullivan figures it out... (lord_mike) The problem is the Kennedys...

http://andrewsullivan.theatlan...

He's absolutely right.  Just a terrible combination of coincidences coming together at once.  I hope the skittish Dems figure it out, too before they all panic at this likely loss...  A terrible way to go, though...

Bottom line, these are people who benefited the most from FDR, were hurt grievously by the neocons, and the Left ceded them to the Right.

Stupid, dangerous, and arrogant.

The Underlying Tragedy
The first of those truths is that we don’t know how to use aid to reduce poverty. Over the past few decades, the world has spent trillions of dollars to generate growth in the developing world. The countries that have not received much aid, like China, have seen tremendous growth and tremendous poverty reductions. The countries that have received aid, like Haiti, have not.

Home Stretch
We’re in the home stretch, but this race is far from over. Two full days for dirty tricks ahead, on top of the president’s last-minute Hail Mary pass.

Massachusetts a Game Changer
On Democratic donors — it would discourage them from opening their checkbooks. On Republican donors — the impact would be electric in kindling their interest and generosity. On Democratic incumbents seeking re-election — But Wait! -read the comments and see what's worrying people raht now!

Times to Stop Charging for Parts of Its Web Site


Published: September 18, 2007

Boned Jello

The New York Times will stop charging for access to parts of its Web site, effective at midnight tonight.

The move comes two years to the day after The Times began the subscription program, TimesSelect, which has charged $49.95 a year, or $7.95 a month, for online access to the work of its columnists and to the newspaper's archives. TimesSelect has been free to print subscribers to The Times and to some students and educators.

The Times said the project had met expectations, drawing 227,000 paying subscribers -- out of 787,000 over all -- and generating about $10 million a year in revenue.

''But our projections for growth on that paid subscriber base were low, compared to the growth of online advertising,'' said Vivian L. Schiller, senior vice president and general manager of the site, NYTimes.com.



New York Times Ready to Charge Online Readers

New York Times Chairman Arthur Sulzberger Jr. appears close to announcing that the paper will begin charging for access to its website, according to people familiar with internal deliberations. After a year of sometimes fraught debate inside the paper, the choice for some time has been between a Wall Street Journal-type pay wall and the metered system adopted by the Financial Times, in which readers can sample a certain number of free articles before being asked to subscribe. The Times seems to have settled on the metered system.

 "But our projections for growth on that paid subscriber base were low, compared to the growth of online advertising, '' says it all.  The Times circulation has dropped precipitously, and must be at the point where $10 million a year looks pretty good.   Well done Pinch.

Goddamn. If you read the whole thing it is clear that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was wholly unprincipled and unprofessional in its glacier "science." If that is the quality of work coming out of the IPCC, the Climategate email hack is just the tip of the iceberg. As it were.

U.S. intelligence agencies are quietly revising their widely disputed assertion that Iran has no active program to design or build a nuclear bomb.

Gangland Tourism

For $65, tourists get peek
at Los Angeles gangland


Boned Jello

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Only miles from the scenic vistas and celebrity mansions that draw sightseers from around the globe - but a world away from the glitz and glamour - a bus tour is rolling through the dark side of the city's gang turf.

Passengers paying $65 a head Saturday signed waivers acknowledging they could be crime victims and put their fate in the hands of tattooed ex-gang members who say they have negotiated a cease-fire among rivals in the most violent gangland in America. [Full story]

Most of what I know about the Hell's Angels MC came from reading Hunter Thompson's book. So it was prolly there that I learned that one initiation rite for new members, and the right to wear the " colors,"  was to perform public cunnilingus on a menstruating women.  Pretty ghastly stuff, wot?  It surely was in 1966.

I've learned, from watching numerous documentaries on the various Hitler Channels, that pretty much all gang members today are tattooed with the signature of the gang they belong too. If you tat yourself thusly, without being a member, the best you can hope for is having it removed with a razor.  The initiation rite today will usually require the prospective member to murder someone in a rival gang.  Are you following?


If I'm aghast, and I am, that Pakistan has entire regions of the country where even the army is afraid to venture, guess how I feel about the same thing in California?


 This is the kind of Tour Bus that ought be transiting LA streets. 

Interaction:
Every male between the ages of 14 and 60 rounded up, and inspected.  Gang colors etched into skin are prima facie evidence of murder, and offenders will be charged.  Then, summarily made to disappear from the USofA, by whatever means the public will stand for.  If they're  already in prison, well... it's easy.

Don't blame me.  I'm not part of the Liberal culture that brought this nation to it's knees in so many, many ways.  I'm just a messenger, in the good way of course.

Botched Surgery

Thanks Obamacare Clone!

Boned Jello

A plumber whose arm was left twisted grotesquely out of shape in an accident ten months ago has had an operation to correct it 'cancelled four times'.

Torron Eeles, 50, has been left unable to work since falling down the stairs and now fears he may lose his home after being denied incapacity benefit.

The father-of-three today hit out at the NHS for the 'unacceptable delays', but East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust said Mr Eeles had his operation cancelled on 'only' two occasions on clinical safety grounds.

His left arm has hung limply by his side since he fractured the humerus bone in December 2008.

Sigh.  If the Martha Coakley story doesn't demonstrate just how much Americans hate the idea of National Health Care,  nothing will, so this story is pretty much coal to Newcastle.Sigh again.

A woman went to her doctor for advice.

She told him that her husband had developed a penchant for anal sex, and she was not sure that it was such a good idea.

'Do you enjoy it?' The doctor asked. 'Actually, yes, I do. ''Does it hurt you?' he asked. 'No. I rather like it.' 'Well, then,' the doctor continued, 'there's no reason that you shouldn't practice anal sex, if that's what you like, so long as you take care not to get pregnant.'

The woman was mystified. 'What? You can get pregnant from anal sex?' 'Of course, ' the doctor replied. "Where do you think people like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi come from?"
