Squeezed Out

Heading out on the road this afternoon so no stories today about pot smoking birds or drunk cats.

I leave you with the graphic image of violence perpetrated against an innocent ice cream cone:

All in the Family

Meatheads.

From Aol.com:

Two siblings' alibi for allegedly trying to steal a TV was incest.
Police Robert and Amanda Larrivee, were caught trying to steal televisions from a Springfield, Mass. bar Sunday night, according to WGGB. A witness reported that the two entered the bathroom at Samuel's at the Basketball Hall of Fame around 9 p.m. and started "ripping the television off the wall."

A manager and another employee locked the Larrivees in the bathroom while they called police. When officers arrived, the pair reportedly claimed that they weren't stealing a TV, they were having sex, according to MassLive.com.

Optimus Klein and Those Kansas State Wildcats

Simply the best college football player in the nation.

EMAW

I lived in Manhattan, Kansas for about 10 years.  Not much out there.

Except one tough sumbitch and a football genius.

Upon taking the Kansas State coaching job on 1989...

"There is only one school in the nation that has lost 500 games," says Bill Snyder, Kansas State's new football coach. "This is it, and I get to coach it." - Bill Snyder

Through the Front Door

I wonder if these Muslims were asked to exit the back door of the White House by the garbage pile?

I bet the Dalai Lama knows the answer.

Let's get this party started

My kids can't get this song out of their heads.  I expect a note from their principal soon.

Isn't it Ironic?

I guess the irony of the following statement is lost on mental midget Van Jones:

“President Obama is a towering figure on foreign policy,” Jones said during the panel discussion on ABC’s “This Week.” “You’ve got somebody with a Nobel Peace Prize and he killed Bin Laden.”

Dude, seriously.

Obama towers about as high as a pile of dog shit.  That is, if he didn't eat the dog before it shit.

Super Whacky Muslim Fun Time - The Turks Take on Charles Darwin

Muslims...God's cruel joke on humanity.

Turkish schoolchildren in Istanbul received a series of books denouncing scientific figures, including one denying the theory of evolution and describing Charles Darwin as a big-nosed Jew, the Financial Times reported Friday.

According to the paper, the books were distributed last week to hundreds of students in the Maltepe district of Turkey's capital after the government-affiliated local education authority approved their content. 

The book on Darwin reportedly states that the evolutionary biologist “Had two problems: First he was a Jew; second, he hated his prominent forehead, big nose and misshapen teeth.”

Darwin was not Jewish.

Amen!

Smart power!

The Times of Israel:

Egypt’s President Mohammed Morsi participated in prayers over the weekend in which the preacher urged Allah to “destroy the Jews and their supporters.”

In footage of the service from Matrouh governorate’s el-Tenaim Mosque screened on Egyptian state television on Friday, Morsi was shown in fervent prayer as cleric Futouh Abd Al-Nabi Mansour, the local head of religious endowment, declared, “Oh Allah, absolve us of our sins, strengthen us, and grant us victory over the infidels. Oh Allah, destroy the Jews and their supporters. Oh Allah, disperse them, rend them asunder. Oh Allah, demonstrate Your might and greatness upon them. Show us Your omnipotence, oh Lord.”

According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Morsi could be seen mouthing “amen” to these sentiments.

Why we give these people the time of day is beyond comprehension.

Catchy

I saw this in the comment section of an article this morning.  Very clever.

Copy, paste, share.


UNINSTALLING OBAMA.....……………. █████████████▒▒▒ 90% complete.

Enemies

Think about it.

Do you really want to vote for a man who has the support of three of the world's biggest thugs?  You know something stinks in the hen house when people who are diametrically opposed to the general policies of the United States and who routinely disparage our country either through words or deeds are supporting the incumbent for president.

If we had someone with some testicular fortitude running things around here these screwball dictators would definitely be thinking twice about their illicit activities.

From Newsmax:

The world has witnessed, through the eyes of courageous videographers and journalists, how Bashar al-Assad mercilessly targets Syrian women, children and other civilians for annihilation. Assad’s Russian-made tanks and weapons have been seen obliterating entire neighborhoods and towns.

But we know little about the enablers who provide Assad the weapons, the ammunition and the fuel that facilitates the Syrian genocide. Recently, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pointed to the Russians as the source of some of these weapons. International intelligence has exposed the fundamentalist Iranian regime as a provider of arms and ammunition.

Now we have evidence that Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez has been sending millions of gallons of diesel fuel to his good friend al-Assad, whom he calls a “humanist” and a “brother.”

Venezuelan state-owned ships have been transporting hundreds of thousands of barrels of diesel fuel to the ruthlessSyrian Army. Assad’s killers move around the country assassinating civilians in vehicles fueled by Chavez.

At this very moment the Venezuelan oil carrier “Negra Hipolita” is being loaded in Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela, with more than 9 million gallons of ultra-low sulphur diesel bound for Syria’s port of Banias. Soon this fuel will move the tanks and artillery that will pulverize innocent beings, adding to the 12,000 already cold-bloodedly exterminated by Assad “the Humanist.”

Chavez uses his own vessels because no self-respecting international shipping firm will transport fuel to Assad’s killing machine. There is another advantage, however: since he controls the entire voyage, from dock to dock. Chavez may be sending Assad military materiel hidden in the ships.

Question 1:  Who in their right minds would ask the First Lady of the United States the old boxer vs. briefs question?  I don't care if it is Michelle Obama or anyone else.

Question 2:  Who in their right mind would even qualify that question with an answer? 

We have sunk to a new low from which we will never recover.

Not Funny Japan!!!

I think Halloween was a lot more scary back in the day

I stumbled upon these vintage Halloween photos.  If I looked out in my yard and saw these creepy little devils I'd be running for the shotgun.

Looped

We've all heard the old tale about how an owl can turn his head all the way around.

Well, have you ever seen one do this?

Of course you haven't because you are not a world renowned bird photographer.  This takes many seconds of patience and anticipatory skill to capture a wild animal in this frenetic state.

This owl lives inside the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans.  Just after I shot this he swooped down and plucked a toddler from the arms of a screaming mother.  He then dropped the child into the exhibit with a 30 foot anaconda.  The snake rose up to engulf the child in a stranglehold, but the child in a Herculean feat ripped the head from the snake and grabbed the writihng snake body and began hosing down the horrified onlookers in a fog of snake blood while cursing at people in Latvian.

I would have to say it was the greatest day of my life. Too bad I didn't get any pictures of the action though.  But my skills are in birds

BIrdie Num Num

Few of you may know that my good friend and cohort Nils and I are world renowned bird photographers.

Here is Nils posing with a Central American Murmuring Twattiddler:

Nils, gleeful with his pal

A few weeks ago I made bird photography history when I captured the rarely seen and never photographed Shiveling Red Reapling Rastabird.  These birds have the peculiar habit of rolling their own spliffs and spending their days listening to Bob Marley and lounging about their nests ignoring the demands of their spouses to shower, shave, take out the garbage, etc.

Rastabird with spliff

Occasionally, a gang of the male birds will arrive at my doorstep asking for food handouts.  They are particularly fond of Cheetos because in their stupidity they think the flavorful cheese puffs are made from cheetahs and other cats.  They are convinced there is a giant mill somewhere grinding up cats to make snacks.

Every now and then I have to send Wildcat out on the porch to clear the stragglers.  But even that can be a chore. . .

Wildcat off the wagon

. . .as even Wildcat has some issues.

Whew!

Been blogging like a mad man, it's time for a break.

Here is a 48 inch firework mortar shell that's impressive:



And here is another picture of a lovely, intelligent and simply delicious Stacey Dash:

And lastly, here is a photo I took of seagulls being lazy and catching a ride on a ferry:

Explosive Charges

I like the Showtime program Homeland.  I think Claire Danes has an interesting nose and I am riveted by it.  The drama ain't bad either.

And I'll have to say that I was not surprised by a recent article that proves to us the Lebanese along with every other Muslim and Arab culture have extremely thin skins when it comes to portrayals of them or their culture or their countries in popular culture.  Boo-freaking-hoo.  Beruit may have been Paris of the Middle East some years ago, but that was well before Lebanon became host to the violent parasite known as Hezbollah.  Or as I like to call them. . . camel-humping shitheads.

Anyway, Lebanon has their turban panties in a twist, so the next logical thing to take place in a place that IS NOT overrun by terrorists is a car bombing near an anti-Damascus Christian group.

Yeah, Paris my doughnut hole.

Nice little jivey jam:

Strip it Good

Jackson, Mississippi is known for a couple of things and those two things are uhhh....um.....

Well anyway, there is a strip club here that raised the hackles of local government when they erected a billboard declaring "Strippers love to climb our pole."  Got hand it to them, it was pretty catchy.  But then the city fathers (who are all a bunch of corrupt and stupid idiots who sound like a ghetto twitter feed when they talk) got some sort of injunction or something that forced Danny's to put a giant yellow "Censored" sign over the offensive tagline.  Which, in retrospect, was even more brilliant because if the 30 foot blond on the stripper pole didn't get your attention, the 30 foot yellow "censored" sign would.

Fast forward a year and Danny's is back in the news.  Since this website is dedicated to news about such things, this intrepid reported furiously investigated the incident by driving down to the billboard and taking a picture.  I should get a Pulitzer.

Danny's is being sued by some black dancers who are alleging discrimination of some description and well, that's about it.  Not that I'm an expert on these matters, but I always thought these girls worked as independent contractors and aren't actually employed by the club in which they dance.

I don't know, but I bet the arbitration meetings about this with the EEOC is probably going to make Jerry Springer look like Sesame Street.

Tiresome

Let's face it crackers, everything is racist!  And by everything I mean EVERYTHING!

Dog whistles, cat whistles, squirrel whistles, possum whistles, whistlin' Dixie, and just regular ol' timey whistles.

Man, people are ignorant.

Dum H8rs

All I can say is thank you internet because you are forever.

Angry black people suggesting that other blacks kill themselves if they vote for Mitt Romney is nearly as entertaining to read about as the tweets suggesting that some of these angry blacks and other folks are going to make an attempt on the life of Mitt Romney.

Stacey Dash knows all about this kind of hate, don't you love?

Anyways.......what is almost as disturbing as the violent and hateful speech is the ignorant language in which it is written.

"Imma do dis, imma do dat, imma do dis tree more time, imma do dis phat."

What is this? Is this English?  Do these people reside within the confines of the United States?  Are they being educated in the schools that we pay for with our tax dollars?  If so, then I would like a refund.

Let's imagine that I buy a box of English at Wal-Mart.  I take the box home and pour out the words on the table and all I see is "imma", "dis", "crunk", "skrilla", then I would probably return my box of English to Wal-Mart as defective merchandise and ask for my money back.

Dear Federal, State and Local Government,

I would like a refund for your inability to teach proper English.  With interest and penalties, please.

Sincerely,
Burnt Toast

For the first time in my adult life (to borrow a line from Michelle Obama) I feel sorry for the United States of America.  We are the most prosperous collective of humans ever assembled and yet we can't even manage the simple task of teaching our national language.

Oh well.  I guess imma jus' get crunk on sum fo'shizzle.

Oh, and Stacey?  Call me, I'm free this weekend, and for the next 25 years or so if you're not busy.

Who won the First Lady debate?

We have some really dumb people living among us.

And here, some Obama supporters offer their thoughts on Benghazi.

Idiocy 2.0

Normally when I run across something as dumb, as contrived, as fake, and as pompous as the website 90 Days, 90 Reasons, I would spend some time dissecting it into small bite-sized pieces that you could then wash down with a swig of cold, hard factwater.

But with something as stupefying as this website I'll leave it to a professional to do the yeoman's work of dis-assembly.

Enter Andrew Ferguson of The Weekly Standard:

Reading the posts from all these writers and artists over the last two months has reminded me of the chasm that separates the talent for creative work from the talent for making a whole lot of sense, rationality-wise. “I have noticed something in Mitt Romney’s name, which I think speaks to what he is about,” writes the movie director David Lynch (Los Angeles) in Reason 52. “If you just rearrange a few letters, Romney becomes R MONEY. I believe Mitt Romney wants to get his mitts on R Money.”

Whew, that's deep Director Lynch.  I'm ready for my wide angle now.

The essays themselves show all the magic of political discourse in the Internet age—the freewheeling energy, the unconventional lines of argument, the damn-the-torpedoes prose—which is another way of saying that Eggers really needs to hire a copy editor. Some sentences you can read several times without success. “Millions of progressive Americans,” Eggers writes, “are now behaving as if, because Obama hasn’t addressed their particular pet issue, that the best way to express their dissatisfaction is to allow Mitt Romney to become president.”

“Corporations,” notes the writer John Sayles (Dutchess County, New York) in Reason 49, “have been anointed responsibility by the Supreme Court as both eligible of public subsidy and free of, and, like all large and unrestrained creatures, act only in their own self-interest.”

Well, if you say so!  Put a couple more commas in there, it's, have be, aiight.

Just consider these 90 reasons as the first 90 votes cancelled out in the election via clear, unadulterated, and blinding ignorance.  Lethal ignorance.

And speaking of lethal ignorance: Thank you sir, may I have another! 

Obama Administration Spends $27 Million to Teach Moroccans How to Make Pottery

Anything to help Obama's Muslim brethren.

The federal government spent $27 million teaching Moroccans how to make pottery, a project that yielded less than stellar results, according to Sen. Tom Coburn’s recently released Waste Book 2012.

Coburn said a review by the Inspector General for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which oversaw the program, found that the project was “not on track to achieve its goals.” 

“A key part of the project involved training Moroccans to create and design pottery to sell in domestic and international markets,” the 2012 “Waste Book” explains.  “To accomplish this, an American pottery instructor was contracted to provide several weeks of training classes to local artists to improve their methods and teach them how to successfully make pottery that could be brought to market. 

“Unfortunately, the translator hired for the sessions was not fluent in English and was unable to transmit large portions of the lectures to the participants,” it said. 

Moreover, the instructor “frequently forgot to bring the right materials to class,” and the dyes and clays he did use were not sold in Morocco – “making it impossible for the trainees to replicate the methods they had learned.” 

“Moroccans have been making pottery since at least the fifth century B.C., with the earliest urban pottery made after 800 A.D.,” Coburn noted. “Perhaps USAID could learn a thing or two about pottery making from Moroccans, who have been passing knowledge of the ancient craft from one generation to another for centuries.”

Obama has the toddler vote

That's because toddlers are dumber than owl poop.

President Barack Obama is in New Hampshire today for a campaign event. According to the White House pool report, after he arrived at the airport in Manchester this morning, President Obama stopped to shake hands with “a couple dozen supporters” on a rope line. The crowd at the airport included two toddlers holding American flags who were greeted by the president, but apparently “looked a bit disinterested.” 

“I do great with the 2-3 year old crowd,” President Obama joked. 

This guy will bow to anyone.

Separated at Birth, Part 2

When I think of Candy Crowley, which incidentally almost never happens. . .

. . .I think of this:

Honey Boo Boo Endorses Obama - Plain Ol' Original Boo Boo Endorses Romney

"Mitt's the Shit!"

True?

Interesting to read and wholly plausible, but would our president stoop so low to appease his Muslim Masters?

Anything is possible I suppose.

Obama Say What?

Gas prices were low because the economy was on the verge of collapse?  WTF!!!????

If Obama Were White

Okay...I apologize.  That post was pretty weak.  Let me make it up to you by telling you some things you didn't know about wolverines.

My take on the debate

Pretty much a draw.  I wouldn't think anyone would be particularly swayed by either man.  Stylistically, Obama won.  Substantively, not even close.  Romney wins.  I thought Romney could have hammered Obama on Benghazi.  He missed the chance.  Maybe he can beat Obama about the head at the next debate.

I don't think Obama did nearly enough to overcome the thrashing he endured at the first debate.  So advantage Romney.

In other debate news...

At the second presidential debate on Tuesday night, a camera caught first lady Michelle Obama clapping after moderator Candy Crowley told Republican presidential candidate Gov. Mitt Romney that President Obama called the Benghazi attack an "act of terror" soon after the attack on the U.S. consulate.

Michelle Obama was also caught starting a fire outside the men's room.

It's 2:57 a.m.

Do you know where your Obamaphone is?

Bang Bang Ur Ded

I admit that I do not like to kill things.  I'm kind of a live and let live sort of fellow.  I don't hunt, I don't keep the fish I catch, I'll even scoop up spiders and other intruding bugs from the house and release them back into their natural environs.  I only have one exception which is the cockroach.  Cockroaches are the devil and deserve to die.

On the other hand, I do like guns and I own several.  Mostly handguns and of those, mostly revolvers.  I love revolvers.  There is nothing like feeling the full-force of a large caliber recoil and the shattering of your guts by the tremendous explosions unleashed from the business end of a six-shooter.  I don't own many long guns as I gave up hunting years ago. I have a .22 rifle and a couple of shotguns, but seeing that our society is on the verge of splitting along highly-defined ideological lines, possibly racial lines too, I feel it is time to invest in a powerful and useful long rifle as an insurance policy against complete and total societal breakdown.

The internet is rife with conspiracy and hyperbole, but with rampaging gangs of kids on the street stealing or destroying property or punching the unsuspecting at will and without consequence it is now time to take seriously my home defense.  I live in the country, 5 miles outside the nearest town of 1000 people and 100 yards from the next rural county and under the jurisdiction of the county sheriff who is usually a half hour away.  There is a very large farm across the street and behind me, a small black church on one side and the remainder is 80 acres of trees and nothingness.  There are a few black families over the hill and behind the church and they generally keep to themselves although they like to howl at the moon on the weekend and sometimes gunfire erupts.  I won't hold that against anyone out here because it is a way of life and I am guilty of that too.  It is rather sparsely populated nearby, but there are other clusters of homes, some white, some black, of all incomes and surely differing educational backgrounds.

People are as unpredictable as any wild animal.  We all suffer from the impulses of our lesser brains, the parts that keep us living and reproducing and protects us from ourselves and each other.  But emotions agitate those base instincts and when a surge of anger passes through a group of like-minded people (think: Occupy Movement) the chances for violence increase ten or twenty-fold.  It could be anyone really.  Just recently in Los Angeles a group of skateboarders went on a rampage and most certainly that group was dominated by white kids.  We are all subject to that type of behaviour and it happens all the time at less important events than critical, political elections -- like football games for instance.

I hope there are no riots, but each day I am more and more convinced that the segments of our populace that feel the most entitled to "free" things, who have the least understanding of how our government, economic, political and tax system works, who have the least control over those base instincts I discussed earlier will be the first ones to spill into the streets of their own neighborhoods and begin lashing out at yet another perceived infraction against one's race or creed or belief system. 

And hey, if they do?  Then burn it to the ground people.  Go for it.  Get it all out of your system.  But if you make the mistake of crossing the very large red line which is my property, my family, my house or even my cats then you will face defeat and prejudice like you've never felt before.  I don't expect trouble out where I live, but I will be damned well prepared for it and I suggest anyone else do the same.  Especially those in large, urban and historically Democratic areas.

This is the most important election of our lifetimes, possibly even in the history of the USA.  Vote early, vote once, go home and good luck.

If anything, it'll be interesting to watch what happens.

I'm prepared.

I hope you are too.

Dreams From My Real Father - Obama's Naked Mom and His Marxist Mentor

Talking Pictures

This, I find both fascinating and funny.  And in the case of the thief, pretty much disturbing.

Ransom Riggs has an unusual hobby: he collects old photographs of people he doesn't know. But it's not necessarily about the snapshots themselves — the interesting part is what's written on the backs. Riggs explains: 

When you’re looking through bins of thousands of random, unsorted photos, every hundredth one or so will have some writing on it. It’s generally just identifying information (“me and Jerry at the Grand Canyon, 1947″), but every once in a while I'll find a something surprising, emotional, candid, hilarious, heartbreaking -- a few words that bring the picture to life in a profound new way, transforming a blurry black-and-white snapshot of people who seem a million miles and a million years away into an intensely personal sliver of experience that anyone can relate to. It becomes something not just to look at, but to listen to.

Here's some of the photos (click to enlarge):

Michelle Obama Admits She Stuffs Her Mouth With Chocolate

She eats these while making rules for what everyone else can eat.  I don't like you fat Chewbacca!

Michelle Obama may be a champion for healthy eating, but that doesn't stop her scoffing Reese's while on the road. 

The First Lady let slip her penchant for the chocolatey treat in an interview with Ryan Seacrest yesterday, and the American Idol host quickly shared it with the world via Twitter. 

'Just chatted w/ @MichelleObama, airs tomorrow on @TodayShow. Her guilty pleasure on the road? Reese's,' he tweeted...

Places I'm Thinking About Moving To - Vol. 1

Moldova

Moldova ⁱ/mɔːlˈdoʊvə/,^[9][10] officially the Republic of Moldova (Moldovan/Romanian: Republica Moldova pronounced [reˈpublika molˈdova]) is a landlocked nation in Eastern Europe located between Romania to the west and Ukraine to the north, east, and south. The capital city is Chișinău.

Here it is on the map...

Moldova is known for its wines. For many years viticulture and winemaking in Moldova were the general occupation of the population.  Making wine is the national pastime. 

It has an underground crime problem.

This is a Moldovan (sic?) woman...Singer Anna Lesco.  Whoever that is.  She looks kinda scary to me.

If I were to move there, I would live in a house like this...

I would stroll down the street smoking a briar wood pipe and having casual conversations with men wearing soccer jumpsuits plastered with colorful advertising.  But I'd still just be wearing my blue jeans.  

Obama Doesn't Like People

This from an ex-presidential aide...

Clinton, being Clinton, had plenty of advice in mind and was desperate to impart it. But for the first two years of Obama’s term, the phone calls Clinton kept expecting rarely came. “People say the reason Obama wouldn’t call Clinton is because he doesn’t like him,” observes Tanden. “The truth is, Obama doesn’t call anyone, and he’s not close to almost anyone. It’s stunning that he’s in politics, because he really doesn’t like people. My analogy is that it’s like becoming Bill Gates without liking computers.”

Of course Obama doesn't like people.  He's a narcissist. 

Well, Its Japan

Global Warming Ended Sixteen Years Ago

So you're telling me I bought all the doomsday supplies for nothing?

The world stopped getting warmer almost 16 years ago, according to new data released last week.  

The figures, which have triggered debate among climate scientists, reveal that from the beginning of 1997 until August 2012, there was no discernible rise in aggregate global temperatures. 

This means that the ‘plateau’ or ‘pause’ in global warming has now lasted for about the same time as the previous period when temperatures rose, 1980 to 1996. Before that, temperatures had been stable or declining for about 40 years. 

The new data, compiled from more than 3,000 measuring points on land and sea, was issued  quietly on the internet, without any media fanfare, and, until today, it has not been reported. 

Oh well...I still have my hat.
