New Year's 'Whoosh'

Oklahoma County (Arkansas) Jail inmates celebrated the New Year with a synchronized flush that flooded the jail's first floor and basement. The clever gray bar hotel denizens Emerilized their antics with a pipe-clogging flushing that sent clothes, towels and socks into the sewage system via a burial at sea. That's teamwork!

IRS Eats It's Own
Assorted news Nazi sites report that the IRS is auditing...I am NOT making this up...800 of its own employees. The congregation has to offer up a big AMEN for this news byte.

Windup Toy Sighting
It's only January 4th and I already endured my first windup toy sighting. Imagine my shock...my horror when during the JPL press conference touting their Mars rover's successful landing some NASA clown gives face time to the windup toy himself...David Dryer. UGH and you can quote me.

Mad Cow Disease
An affliction that strikes The Dixie Bitches, Susan Sarandon, Barbara Streisand and Janeane Garofalo every time W stages one of his patented photo ops. Bush visits Iraq...Mad Cow outbreak.

Licking Crime Technologically

A registered sex offender who slipped between the bureaucratic cracks got a lesson in twenty-first century forensic technology when he mailed anonymous letters to 7 Chicago area schools. Alarmed by these threats to kill school inmates, the police 'licked' this pervert's antics with the latest crime busting tools.

'...DNA taken from saliva on three envelopes matched the DNA of Milo L. Farris, a registered sex offender whose genetic profile was in a State Police database, officials said...' (Sun-Times)

Nailed by his own spit? You better believe it, green with envy Dick Tracy Sparky.

Quotes Worth Repeating
Sources: Left Coast Report, NY Post

Left Coast Report:
"I don't know if this is a true statistic, but I heard somewhere that there are three times as many single women over 40 as single men. That's what we got from the women's movement. The chickens have come home to roost." (Jack Nicholson).

NY Post Page 6:
"The law these days . . . states that New York City is now the domain of the mediocre bureaucrat, of the inspector with too much time on his hands, of the anal-retentive cop with his nose in a rule book, of the snitch willing to drop a dime on a harmless fellow citizen, and of a mayor who is that most pathetic and annoying figure - the micro-megalomaniac. Who knows what goes on in the tiny, constipated chambers of [Bloomberg's] mind? All we know . . . is that one of the world's most broad-minded and open cities is now in the hands of a picknose control freak." (Vanity Fair columnist Christopher Hitchens on the Big Apple's smoke Nazi mayor.)

Hitting The Lapdog Where It Hurts
Source: Washington Times

The Lapdog's blanket amnesty for illegal immigrants may or may not cost him some votes in November, but it's already hitting him in a much more important place: his campaign coffers. According to an Atlanta-based elephant clan minion, Phil Kent, several 'signed sealed and delivered' attendees to a $2000 a plate Lapdog fund raiser pulled the plug on their participation, citing the Lapdog's illegal immigrant amnesty. A small wound, no doubt, but it could start a trend. Watch out Lapdog, the vast right-wingnut conspiracy might be forced to pull the lever for you next fall, but they seem very reluctant to pay for your vote pandering.

Bottom Line Bonkers
Source: PIG News Wire

Few days pass without another article on sending more Amerikan jobs offshore. Among other things, this trend is justified for the following reasons:

It lowers the cost of goods for Amerikan consumers.

(Thrilling, but how do these lucky consumers pay for these cheaper goods if they're unemployed?)

A company's first allegiance is to its shareholders. Maximizing the shareholders return on their investment is a firm's solemn duty.

(Agreed. But, it appears that the firm's shareholders will all be foreign nationals, because Amerikan's won't have the money to invest when they're unemployed.)

It appears that so-called Amerikan firms will maximize profits by moving all their operations offshore, even if that means - in the long run - abandoning the Amerikan market. It's the bottom line, baby...and if Amerika goes into the crapper in the process, so be it.

I look forward with unrelenting glee to the inevitable day when one of these 'safe' offshore haven's erupts into political turmoil and takes down these smug offshore-is-always-cool asshats.

Afterthoughts
Granted, I don't blame so-called Amerikan firms for dropping the USA like a bad habit. Our nanny government's policies created this hell for us with full voter approval. Ok, so I don't blame them for dumping us, but I'm not thanking them, either. That would be akin to thanking the rats for leaving a sinking ship.

Legicrats from both political clans are making meaningful noises about the job exodus, a sure sign that this issue strayed onto the political hack radar. Public congressional hearings are a virtual done deal...but they usually do little more than generate politically expedient hot air. If, as occasionally occurs, the legicrats decide to impose a government solution on this 'public policy issue', hold onto your hats. Government 'solutions' to problems created by their prior policies - job exportation is a classic case - invariably make the problem much worse, and prevent the marketplace from imposing its own correction.

Corporate Welfare-Induced Irony
Source: Democrat and Chronicle (Rochester, New York)


When Canadian American Transportation Systems (CATS) launches its new high-speed ferry to connect Toronto and Rochester, it promises to be a truly international exercise in corporate welfare. This government largesse, tapped into city, state and federal coffers - $14 million toward the ship's construction; $19 million for a ferry terminal in Rochester - and even raided the Canadian treasury for an additional $8 million (Canadian funny money) for another terminal in Toronto. This international treasury tapping might explain why all the hacks are a tad irked that this $42.5 million dollar ship will be flying a Bahamian flag. That's right, corporate welfare fans, the company registered this Aussie-built, high speed tub in the Bahamas.


Why? A good question, that brings us back to another nanny government fun feature Amerika's regulatory nightmare:
'...The process of registering in the United States — which includes getting approval of the ship design — would have taken too long, [CATS consultant Jerry] Aspland said. He added that CATS may seek to register the ship in the United States in the future...' (Democrat and Chronicle) Thanks to U.S. law, a vessel isn't obligated to register in the USA, if it travels to foreign ports...Toronto, in this case. Although the company vows to hire Amerikans, being registered in the Bahamas means they can hire Bulgarians, if that thrilled them spitless. Built by Aussies, paid for by Amerika and Canada, but registered in the Bahamas...that sounds like corporate diversity to this pagan. So sue me.

Wishful Thinking?
Source: San Francisco Chronicle (2/21)

Citing a Brit fishwrap - a tabloid, based on the Chronicle's colorful description - this Gulag fishwrap breathlessly reports that Osama is as good as captured. He was spotted, is now being monitored, might even be surrounded and is destined to be captured 'soon'. Excuse me, but haven't we been down this road before, more than once? This 'breaking news' is yesterday's warmed over wishful thinking. Great zot, it might even be the Lapdog's clever way of spooking Osama out into the open.


'Osama Captured' would be a thrilling headline, but don't hold your breath. He's a very slippery wretch, a slippery wretch who has lots of friends willing to hide him. I'm thinking he'll achieve room temperature in some vast Pakistani nothingness and nobody will ever find the body. Like Hitler after WWII, he'll live on as a death-defying legend. I really don't care how or where he achieves room temperature, but I'd prefer that he do it sooner, rather than later. So sue me.


Horizontal Homework
Source: San Francisco Chronicle (2/21)

Stop me if you've already heard the one about the 30-something female teacher caught getting horizontal in her car with a 14-year-old male student...I know what you're thinking and you're wrong. This thrillingly-squishy episode happened in the Gulag, not Seattle. Our horny Educrat heroine - Nieka Arreola - follows the well-trodden path blazed by Seattle's infamous Mary Kay and seems destined for a similar fate.


Proving how reality insulated Educrats are, Gulag Educrap officials instructed Nieka to stay home, until they complete their own investigation. Since they don't express alarm over her hormonally-horizontal after school antics, I'm betting when the dust settles, Nieka will be back in the classroom, probably at a different school. You gotta know that any Educrat dude caught with his pants down in the backseat of a car with a 14-year-old wench would be fired in a heartbeat, without any Educrat rhetoric about 'investigating the depth and scope of the matter'. Holy wench-coddling double standards, Batman.


Shocking Wenchlet Attire
Source: Stealth News Wire (2-22)

So-called men's rights 'activists' are shocked, dismayed and downright alarmed over the latest teenage wenchlet fashion trend. I know what you're thinking, horndog Sparky and you should have your filthy imagination washed out with soap. The egregiously offensive attire causing these alleged males to hyperventilate isn't booty baring at all. The pernicious attire involves t-shirts festooned with boy-bashing mottos such as: "Boys are stupid - throw rocks at them"; "Boys are goobers - drive anvils on their heads"; "Boys lie - make them cry".

As expected, NO-NADs endorse this exercise in wenchlet free speech, but others view this fashion trend with alarm. Obviously, those criticizing this boy-bashing fashion trend choose to forget the inconvenient fact that all wenchlets go through a prolonged "All boys are icky" phase. Traditionally - unless the NO-NADs outlawed it - the "All Boys are icky" phase gives way to "All boys are still icky, except Johnny Wilson". It's called adolescence and it's been going on since the first mutated hormone gorilla threw some wood when his wenchlet playmate started spouting bumps and stuff.


Everyone - NO-NADs, alleged man's rights activists, and all the rest - needs to lighten up and let adolescence run its usual, bumpy course. Insulting t-shirts are not a fate worse than death. In fact, these boy-bashing shirts might toughen up hormone gorillas and get them ready for the male-bashing big leagues - Amerika's colleges and universities.

Emerilizing The Culture War
Source: Indianapolis Star (2/24)

Up to here with smugly sanctimonious vast right-wingnut Legicrats' rhetoric about "protecting the sanctity of marriage", several GLAAD BAAG, Indiana Legicrats - donkey clan, of course - unleashed an inspired counter-attack. If, as these elephant clan morality Nazi asshats claim, 'holy matrimony' must be protected, then put your money where your fat mouths are, donkey clan GLAAD BAAGs challenge:

'...Claiming divorce -- not same-sex unions -- is undermining the sanctity of marriage, a group of gay Democrats on Monday asked state GOP Chairman Jim Kittle to identify Republican legislators who have been divorced. The request comes as House Republicans are attempting to force a vote on a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage...' (Star)

The GLAAD BAAGs are in good company, when it comes to vilifying divorce as the primary sin against marriage. No less than the cross dude himself espoused those very sentiments: "What God has put together, let no man put assunder" (Mark 10:9). How do you say 'gotcha' in Aramaic?

Arresting Sports Fare
Source: Stealth Wisdom Shallow Thought

During a boredom killing channel surfing exercise, I stumbled over a women's roundball game between Oregon State and Stanford. There they were, five Oregon State wenches with the word 'Beavers' covering nearly half their jersey. 'Beavers'! I know what you're thinking horndog Sparky, because I had the same notion. "There's no need to advertise your gear, wench, because I already know that you've got one."

Outsourcing Your Privacy
Source: San Francisco Chronicle [3/28]

Outsourcing involves a lot more than getting help when your computer takes a dump or your Internet provider has an electronic nervous breakdown.  According to an eye-opening piece from this Gulag fishwrap, Amerikan firms are also exporting your privacy, by electronically shipping the following information tidbits offshore for data processing:

    Your medical records
    Your credit history
    Your tax documents
    Your bank records
    Your brokerage account data
    Your Insurance records
    Your debt records
    Your Social Security number
    Your credit card number

If you think this can't majorly screw up your life, you need to wake up and smell the coffee.  What happens when some third world asshat with an attitude decides to enrich himself at your expense?  Armed with the aforementioned data, he, she or it could steal your identity and no shit ruin your life.  I know what you're thinking...The same thing is true if an Amerikan asshat stole your identity.  That's true enough, but there's one essential difference.  An Amerikan identity thief is subject to Amerikan laws, but the same can't be said about that identity thief from Pakistan, India, China, Mexico, the Philippines, or Guatemala.  How does outsourcing sound to you now, free trade Sparky?

Virgin Atlantic airlines decided to make taking a whiz that much more thrilling for deep pocketed passengers who use Virgin's clubhouse in the Big Apple's JFK airport.  In addition to I-Mac computers, 'a waterfall flowing into a 90ft long pool, a bar, play stations and a 42" plasma television screen' (Ananova), Virgin's clubhouse offers the latest in restroom decor: 'a urinal in the shape of a woman's open mouth'. (Ananova)

Merchandising The Cross Dude

"Dress up Jesus" is a 'magnetized figure of Jesus on the cross dressed in underwear' (WND), but the fun doesn't stop there.  You can dress the cross dude with various outfits including 'a devil costume, a skull t-shirt and a hula skirt' (WND).  Needless to say, WND and assorted other true believers are not thrilled spitless, for some curious reason.  Color this pagan scribbler very confused.

If it's cool for Mel to commercialize his beliefs via his vastly-enriching flick, how can there be anything wrong with Urban Outfitters joining this highly profitable fun?  Enquiring pagan minds want to know.

Shyster Stupidity In New Mexico
Source: Reuters [3/19]

Employees were disgusted to the max when a middle aged dude paraded into the store wearing 'white see-through biking shorts with no underwear' (Reuters).  Severely unthrilled by this walking peep-show, several Whole Foods Market employees complained to their manager, begging - demanding - that the dude be kicked out of the store.  Unwilling to send this nads-displaying customer packing, the store, allegedly, retaliated against one employee with a pink slip.

Citing the store's callous disregard of their sensitivities, 8 former employees rounded up a shyster and sued Whole Foods Markets for 'fostering an environment of discrimination and sexual harassment that caused them emotional distress' (Reuters).  Poor babies.  What makes this otherwise unremarkable epic noteworthy is the fun fact that this dudely peep show happened four years ago.  That's right four years.  I'm guessing the store will make meaningful noises, then pay these whiners to shut the hell up and go away.  So be it.

Afterthought
As disgusting as the dude's antics were - I won't argue the point - I doubt that it merits this shyster bovine excrement.  It's a damn shame the store isn't regulated by the FCC, because this asshat's actions no shit meet any rational adult's notion of indecency.

Honorable Butchery
Source: Rochester Boob Tube [4/25]
Honor killing established a beachhead in the Empire State when a Mecca Maniac dude restored family honor by attacking his wife and daughters with a hammer.  His wife died for the family honor.  His daughters - age 22 & 4 - survived, barely - fractured skulls - and continue to besmirch family honor in their hospital beds.  How, you wonder, did these lowly females sully the family honor?  According to a Rochester boob tube report, our hero 'believed that his brother had sexual contact with the victims'.

Local Mecca Maniac apologists worry that mere mortals will - quite correctly - cite Mecca Maniac supernaturalism as a contributing factor.  Nice try, blame shifters, but it might work better if cross cultists were playing hammer wielding, honor killing roulette, too.  Sad story, Mecca Mania fans, honor killing is your, exclusive, atrocity.  Instead of making excuses and shifting blame, why don't you do something to eradicate this honor killing butchery?  Do that, and maybe, just maybe, we'll believe you, the next time one of your true believers offs his wife, sister, daughter or mother to preserve family honor.  You'll excuse me if I refrain from holding my breath awaiting an outbreak of Mecca Maniac sanity.

Afterthought
Amerikans might grab a hammer when some asshat rapes our wife, our sister or our kids.  But, we'd nail the rapist  with it, not his victim.  Somehow, punishing the rapist never occurs to these honor seeking Mecca Maniac cretins.

Bloated assclown, Michael Moore, loves to portray himself as the Amerikan worker's best friend, but he comes up short when it comes to practicing what he preaches.  According to a boom box news item, Moore's personal web site was designed by, is hosted by, a Quebec firm.  Keep that in mind, the next time this lard ass loudmouth spouts off about heartless capitalists who abuse Amerikan workers via outsourcing.

Multi-tasking is all the rage, but there are times when it's a mistake to listen to the boom box while browsing news sources for online nuggets.  True story time: I'm listening to science fiction author Ray Bradbury discuss Amerika's space program on the boom box, when I stumble over a headline on the South Florida Sun-Sentinel web site:

"Jupiter may get two train stations".  (Sun-Sentinel, 04/17)

Emerilizing Communications Technology

Cell phones are a pestilence that spawned alleged humans so loathsome they're lower than such quasi-human flotsam as shysters, Korrectniks, and career bureaucrats, so why am I delighted with a certain cell phone purveyor's newest product?  Good question, but, as usual, I have an answer.  My unrelenting hostility to cellidiocy and the pond scum addicted to these electronic leashes is well-documented in these pages, but, biased and unbalanced as I am, this pagan is no shit delighted with Nokia phones' thrilling new feature.

'...Last year there were several incidents of Nokia phones exploding or bursting into flames in Europe...'  (Reuters)

Seeking new markets to exploit, Nokia just introduced its explosive communications technology in the Far East, with a resounding ka-boom, when Can Tin's phone exploded in a Hong Kong bank.  Hopefully, this 'do you feel lucky, cell punk' feature will make landfall in Amerika...soon, letting your neighborhood cellidiot tempt fate with this self-destructing technology.

When Critters Attack
Source: The Dartmouth (Ivory Tower fishwrap) [4/9]

An outraged river otter went postal when the Dartmouth rowing team invaded its watery habitat.  After a noisy protest from the riverbank, the critter took to the water, chased down one boat then clambered into the craft.  That’s when the real fun began.

‘...The otter promptly began to lunge and hiss viciously at the coaches, who frantically used paddles and a megaphone to try to force the animal out of the boat. After a short battle, the two parties reached a standoff – the hissing and glaring otter in the stern of the boat, the coaches armed and ready for action in the middle...’ (The Dartmouth)


Eventually, the besieged humans evicted the angry critter - without harming it - thus preserving Ivy League honor, for the moment.  The otter regrouped on its river bank, resumed its river bank tirade, then launched an attack on the second Dartmouth boat.  Unwilling to continue this battle, the humans beat a hasty retreat, freeing the victorious river otter to do whatever river otters do, when they’re not giving Ivy League rowing teams a reality check.

Otter experts attribute this critter’s behavior to a mother otter’s maternal instincts, but I’m not convinced.  Was that the Harvard fight song the critter hummed to celebrate its victory?

Colorado's Governor incurred surrender monkey wrath when he served up some French-bashing jokes during an elephant clan confab. Since his jokes have surrender monkey panties in a bunch, they're worth repeating:

"You know why the new French navy has glass-bottom boats? So it can see the old French navy."

Disney Disses Mecca Mania
Source: Orlando Sentinel [5/22]

A Mecca Maniac wench is suing deep-pocketed Disney, claiming that the house the mouse built violated her supernaturalism with its one-size-fits-all dress code. Everything was peachy, until our heroine perpetrated an offspring in 2002. Things went downhill, fast, when Aicha Baha returned to her Disney World jobs sporting a Muslim head scarf - a hijab. When she refused to stop wearing her true believer rig at work, Disney transferred her to a job that didn't require strict dress code adherence. Before you could say "pay cut", our heroine is full-on shyster bonkers.

'...Disney offered to accommodate her religious attire with a "backstage" job out of the public view, the lawsuit states. The Pearl Factory allowed Baha to continue wearing her scarf but transferred her away from Disney property, where the dress codes didn't apply. Her sales commissions fell from $400 to $700 a week to $40 a week at the new shop in the Old Town tourist attraction on U.S. Highway 192, she said...' (Sentinel)

After she quit her gift shop job and Disney dumped her for dress code violations at her other Disney job - a part-time gig as a bellhop - Aicha ran to the nearest EEOC office, whimpering that Disney gave her a boo-boo on her supernaturalism. I'm predicting that she'll win her quest to plunder Disney's deep pockets, because the EEOC loves whiners almost as much as they hate private property rights. It sucks - majorly - but that shows how much these bureaucratic asshats degrade our liberty.

The facts speak for themselves. This wench knew the rules when she hired on with Disney in 1997. She knew the rules when she willfully, blatantly, violated them in 2002. She knows them now, but imagines that, somehow, they shouldn't apply to her. Wake up and smell the coffee, darlin: Their company...their rules. If you don't play by them, you're gone. Game over. Shut up and move on...Don't make me come down there.

Go ahead...Laugh out loud. I won't tell anybody.

Strange Bedfellows
Source: World Net Daily [5/21]

Strip club owners are convinced that our publically pious president and his cross cult way zealot Attorney General are very bad for their business. Understandably concerned about a likely morality crusade during a second 'W' term, the club owners are prodding their patrons about registering to vote. The idea is to get these booty afficionados revved up enough to boot the liberty-hating true believers into early retirement come November. Trust me, if anyone could rev up political agnostics it's these D-cup, clothes-phobic wenches.

For those among this pagan's readership who think this is a mere blip on the political radar, some numbers will put it all in perspective. Adult nightclubs employ 500,000 to 750,000 individuals and generate an estimated $15 billion (dead presidents) in annual revenue. Multiply the employee base by a conservative 20 to get a rough estimate of their patronage and you can already see that the numbers take on meaning, especially in a close race like this one.

Shutting down a $15 billion dollar industry might thrill Attorney General John Asshat and his true believer boss, but it makes no sense at all to this liberty exalting pagan. Dumping W in November still gets this pagan's vote. It's ironic - in the extreme - that strip club owners understand inalienable individual liberty much better than elephant clan morality Nazis like John Asshat and 'W'.

More Cell Idiot Angst
Source: L.A. Times [5/20]

When is a telephone book an invasion of privacy? Never, but don't tell that to the cell idiots and privacy warriors who deem a soon to be published wireless telephone directory a fate worse than death. This 'evil' tome is derived from a database compiled by the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association and it will include 75% of Amerika's 163 million mobile phones. Getting in is a slam dunk, since most cell phone service contracts give the provider permission to publish the client's number.

The downside to this new phonebook - according to the usual suspects - involves text message spam, telemarketing calls, etc, for which the cell idiot must pay. It's as simple as: his phone; his 'airtime'; his phone bill. Making cell idiots pay for telemarketing spew? That's terminally cool.

This cell phone directory is especially enriching for cell phone service providers:

'...[The book is a] big money issue for an industry suffering through brutal price wars. A wireless directory could generate as much as $3 billion a year in fees and additional minutes by 2009, according to a study conducted by consulting firm Zelos Group Inc. The carriers "are either going to make money by getting lots of people listed in the directory" and charging for its use, "or they they'll make money by charging people not to be in it," said Roger Entner, a wireless analyst for the Yankee Group...' (Times)

Cell idiots should read this Hell-A fishwrap piece, but don't blame me if you don't enjoy it the way I did. When you're finished, file it in your 'terrors of technology archives'.

Afterthought

My feelings about cell idiocy are well documented throughout Stealth Wisdom, so, it shouldn't shock this pagan's loyal readers to learn that I don't see any downside to this Wireless Phone Directory. Anything that annoys cell idiots delights the hell out of this pagan scribbler. If you don't appreciate my attitude, get over it.

Any Amerikan with lakeshore property on the Great Lakes or the St. Lawrence Seaway will be thrilled to hear that their property is sinking. Before you throw a fit and feel picked on, you'll want to know that every part of Amerika south of the Canadian border is sinking. This joyous news comes from a study perpetrated by the eggheads at Northwestern University who discovered that Canada is rising while Amerika is sinking. If you have shoreline property in the Windy City, your investment is sinking 1mm per year.

As much as we'd all love to blame this on Canada, that's not an option. This is an after-effect of Mother Nature's last major tantrum - the ice age that ended 12,000 years ago. Feel free to complain to her, if you feel lucky, but count this earthquake country pagan out. I so don't need to piss her off.

Donkey Clan Diversity
Source: Washington Times [5/14]

The pinheads organizing the donkey clan's 2004 Convention must be thrilled spitless about the GLAAD BAAG coddling antics perpetrated by 16 Korrectnik delegations. Borrowing tactics - and terminology - from affirmative action, these delegations set "numeric goals" - don't you dare call them "quotas" - for GLAAD BAAGs in their convention delegations. As expected, Mexifornia leads the charge with a 10% quota...oops!...I mean goal.

'...In California, the target is 22 homosexual men and 22 lesbians among the 440-member delegation. Rhode Island is seeking one homosexual among its 32 delegates. Officials are quick to point out that the goals aren't quotas. Neither a state nor a presidential campaign is penalized for not reaching these goals. However, state delegations are required to have equal numbers of men and women...' (Washington Times)

Call this diversity drivel anything you want, donkey clan clowns...anything except what it really is: utterly asinine bovine excrement. Your priorities reset the bar for jaw-dropping stupidity. As long as your delegations are properly-hyphenated, and meet or exceed all your immutable trait quotas, you don't give a flaming damn if your delegates are dumber than a box of rocks. That goes a long way towards explaining, to this pagans satisfaction, how a steaming load like John Kerry is a virtual lock for your oval office nomination.

Resetting The Bar For a Tough Town
Source: Reuters [5/13]

Chalpatlahuac, Mexico has an unscheduled opening in the mayor's office, an opening that has nothing to do with a name that's hard to spell - and much harder to pronounce. The recently departed mayor achieved room temperature, unexpectedly, when the town's Rosary True Believer priest shot the mayor during a religious festival. Those guessing an adult beverage involvement get 5 pagan scribbler bonus points.

'..."It seems they were arguing, these two men. They were at a get-together, they had words and the priest shot the mayor. They were apparently both in a state of drunkenness," said Guerrero state spokesman Jesus Nava...' (Reuters)

Far from finished with his drunken antics, the potted padre wounded the mayor's son, too. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the Dirt Kisser to offer this pistol-packing padre a promotion. You gotta know this town is tough with a capital 'T' when the local padre packs 9mm heat.

When a 'kill the bastards' drunk supernaturalist professional packs deadly weapons, this pagan has to ask the burning question: What the hell kind of religious festival is this...Aztec?

Mother Nature Unleashes Her Critters, Again
Source: Stealth News Wire [5/13]

Mother Nature - with human asshat assistance - is thrilling Florida denizens, again, with a two-pronged critter caper. It's big fun time, again, in the land-of-hanging-chads.

Critter one is a giant African snail - up to 8 inches long - that 'carries a parasite that causes a type of meningitis' (Naples Daily News). It's a voracious eater that munches on 500 plant species, making it a tree hugger nightmare.

Critter Two is an exotic pet whose human companions dumped it like a bad habit - in the Everglades - when it reached full size. Billed as one of the world's largest snakes, the Burmese Python is thriving in the Everglades where it deems the local fauna appetizing in the extreme.

If anyone knows why Mother Nature is so down on Florida, share the news, because Enquiring pagan minds haven't got a clue.

Global What?
Source: Seattle Times [05/09]

Scientists at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (Columbia University of New York) sent up a new pseudo scientific trail balloon this week when they unveiled the newest global ecological threat: Global Dimming. The following quotes from this Seattle Times article give you all the amazing details:

"Global dimming means that the transmission of sunlight through the atmosphere is decreasing." (Michael Roderick, a climate researcher at Australian National University in Canberra)

"Just look out the window when you fly into New York or to California — it's dimmer." (Beate Liepert, a climatologist)

I know what you're thinking and you're right. Global Dimming does reduce Global Warming, but not completely. It smells to this pagan scribbler like certain Global Warming zealots want to hedge their bets, in case the numerous holes in the prevailing 'warming' theory stray onto your fishwrap's front page. Pseudo science continues to amaze and amuse this pagan scribbler.

Short Takes On Today's News

Keep Those Cards and Letters...

Thanks to Decency Demon Howard Stern and ABC's late night host, Jimmy Kimmel, the Thought Police have 1600 letters complaining about Amerika's angst goddess - Oprah - and her March 18 boob tube inanity. Anyone interested in the complaints themselves can find some must read examples on the Smoking Gun web site. Be there or be square.

The Eyes Have It...

A Seattle based eyes surgeon might need his own peepers checked because - according to the Seattle Times - he got caught groping his patient's breasts. So far, 24 complaints have been filed with the relevant state authorities. When your eye surgeon mauls your hooters, run, don't walk for the nearest exit, because - at best - his eyes are worse than yours. At worst, he's a hopeless horndog who can't be trust on the same planet with you when you're sedated.

Taking His Work On The Road...

A British Columbian judge got caught taking his work home with him when he was ratted out for getting hormonal with underage hookers. These weren't just 'hey baby' encounters...the four wenchlets in question had all appeared before the judge in his official capacity.

Between 1992 and 2001, at least 4 horizontal entertainment wenchlets - ages 12 to 16 - were rented by this jailbait craving cretin. All four had appeared before him on prostitution charges. As bad as that sounds, his antics get worse. He - allegedly - beat up a 16 year old hooker and threatened to kill a 15 year old wenchlet if she ratted him out. Even Canadians deserve better than this asshat in black robes.

The Case of The Cranky Money Locker...

A Philly fishwrap - The Daily Local News - offered up a good news/bad news story about a West Grove (PA) money locker - Sovereign Bank. The good news is that the bank vault is so secure that no would be robber can open it. The bad news is that bank officials can't open it, either. That's what happens when your bank's vault is a 100 year old technological relic.

A popular Starbucks concoction called the "Grand Mocha Frappuccion" just strayed onto the obesity dolt radar, thanks to the news sleuths at KOMO.   If you're a fast food phobic who swills this foo-foo coffee crap, there's a nasty factiod lurking just over your horizon.

'...The sweet, summery frozen drinks can be even more tempting - and sinful. The largest Java Chip Frappuccino weighs in at 650 calories - 50 calories more than a Big Mac - and contains 25 grams of fat, compared with 33 grams for the Big Mac...'  (KOMO)

Critter Capers - Foreign and Domestic

Mother Nature's little helpers continue to spread chaos wherever they can.

Item 1
A Finnish family got a nasty shock when an elk crashed through a window, landed in a two-year-old tot's bed, then proceeded to trash their house, before crashing through a second window on the way out.  Aside from feeling an usual draft and frazzled nerves, nobody got hurt. 

Item 2
Florida's newest pesky critter immigrant is the South American sailfin catfish.  It's two feet long has 'a flexible bony armor with saw-tooth barbs' (Sun-Sentinel), plus spikes on its back and side fins.  As thrilling as that sounds, their most annoying trait involves digging deep burrows that can cause a bank to collapse when the tunnels fill with water.

How, you ask, did these pesky catfish get to Florida?  The usual way: alleged humans bought them in pet stores then dumped them into nearby lakes or streams when the far from cuddly fish achieved full size.  Does anyone still wonder how these Sunshine State dolts screwed up the 2000 election so completely?

'...If the virus succeeds in penetrating the phone, it writes the inscription 'Caribe' on the screen and is then activated every time that the phone is turned on.  It is able to scan for phones that are also using the Bluetooth technology and is able to send a copy of itself to the first handset that it finds...'  (News.au)

Two items attracted this pagan's attention today, when he scoured the usual sources for Stealthy News nuggets.

Item 1:
According to a cabal named "Greater Los Angeles Agency on Deafness", Bob Hope Airport - formerly Burbank Airport - gives deaf and hard-of-hearing airline passengers a boo-boo because the airport doesn't coddle them in the manner they demand.  Instead of trying to work a deal with Airport authorities, this cabal is launching a shyster assault. 

If TTY telephones and monitors displaying PA system messages in text form are vital to their hearing challenged cohorts, why doesn't this cabal pass the hat, or find some charitable deep pockets to pay for these vital goodies?

Item 2:
Richmond (Virginia) has a reading initiative called 'Go Read'.  This worthy effort works with local school districts to promote reading via a list of suggested titles.  This year, one suggested title - "White People" by Alan Gurbanus - has the usual suspects in a hyper tizzy. 

For those who care, this tome is described as follows, by the  Richmond Times-Dispatch  :

'..."White People," a collection of 10 stories and one novella (some with decidedly mature themes), was written in 1990. It won the Los Angeles Times Book Award and the Southern Book Award.  "Elegant, mysterious and satisfying," the Los Angeles Times called it. "Each story is a gem," the San Francisco Chronicle said. "Blending trenchant satire with outrageous humor, Gurganus's stories recall both Mark Twain and Flannery O'Connor," the Chicago Tribune said...' 

Give it up, dudes, the title alone makes it uncool for school.

War Reparations
Source: Sacramento Bee    [6/10]

For reasons I don't begin to understand, Uncle Sam promised Guam's indigenous people that he would personally, 'compensate Guam residents for property loss, personal injury, or death', but these payments, if/when they occurred were puny at best.  Fast forward to the present and Uncle Sam is prepared to fulfill his promise, thanks to 'the five-member Guam War Claims Review Commission' that is advocating a $12,000 (dead presidents) payment to each of Guam's WWII victims, and $25,000 to families who had a member killed by the Japanese. 

If Uncle Sam made the promise, then he should keep it.  The burning pagan scribbler question isn't whether he made the promise back in the post-war period.  The real question is why Uncle Sam is required to pay for war crime perpetrated by the now defunct Empire of Japan?  Uncle Sam didn't inflict the aforementioned property loss, personal injury or death, so why is he on the hook for this folding green?  If somebody has an answer, spit it out.

Attorney General Asshat's recent appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee produced unexpected fireworks.  The drama unfolded when this legicrat cabal summoned Attorney General John Asshat to testify, after  word leaked out that Asshat perpetrated a memo that advised W 'that torture of the terrorists under certain circumstances was justified under U.S. law and international treaties' (Washington Times).  Invoking a steadfast 'separation of powers' defense, Asshat launched several donkey clan senators into orbit when he responded with virtual "pound sand". 

Senators Biden, Durbin and Kennedy were so beyond thrilled by Asshat's attitude, that one or more of them deemed Asshat "in contempt of congress".  Singularly unimpressed by these blatant threats, Asshat shot back with what amounted to "bite me":

"I'm not going to comment on the memos and advice I give to the executive departments of government."  (Asshat as quoted by the Washington Times)

For those who care, this D.C. whiz-a-thon elicits a non-negotiable 'a pox on both their houses' response from this  besieged sovereign individual.

The Gipper Speaks Out On Liberty
Source: Orange County Register   [06/08]

Those vast right-wingnuts attempting to cast W in the Gipper's image need to increase the voltage on their shock treatments.. Because, unlike W, President Reagan understood that government growth comes at individual liberty's expense.  After reading the following Gipper quotes, even the hard core vast right-wingnuts will, in their heart of hearts, admit that W isn't even in Ronald Reagan's league.

"Man is not free unless government is limited...as government expands, liberty contracts."

"Government does not produce freedom.  People...take freedom from government and they must continue to struggle to keep it."

"Our natural inalienable rights are presumed to be a dispensation of government...we have certain rights which cannot be infringed upon, even if the individual stands outvoted by all his fellow citizens. Without this recognition, majority rule is nothing more than mob rule."

"The founding fathers knew a government can't control the economy without controlling the people.  And they knew when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purposes."

"We have been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, of and by the people.  But if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capability to govern someone else?"

Coronating W as Ronald Reagan's successor is an intolerable insult to the Gipper.

The Ann Coulter Fiasco
Source: Pagan Scribbler News Wire [07/26]

For reasons nobody will ever understand, USA Today decided to Emerilize their convention coverage by hiring a vast-right-wingnut scribbler - fire-breathing way righty, Ann Coulter - to submit daily commentaries on the Donkey Clan convention. Determined to balance their brain-fart, they also hired a way lefty scribbler - the Maggot, of course - to submit daily commentaries on the Elephant Clan convention. It's a doubly asinine notion, but about what you'd expect from the dim bulbs at USA Today. Do you really expect world-class journalism from a fishwrap that they no shit give away?

Last night, USA Today got its first Ann Coulter convention prose and before the terminally lefty editor could scream, "Incoming!", the powers at USA Today decided to sever their relationship with Ms. Coulter, because her column is too hot to handle. She's out and another vast right-wingnut, a much tamer righty named Jonah Goldberg (National Review) is her designated replacement. Bold new concept.

I read the Coulter tantrum and it's her usual flame-throwing screed with pointed - alleged - humor eviscerating Donkey Clan hack butts. Even the most casual political observer knows that when you hire Ms. Coulter, this is what you get. Wake up and smell the angry bitch coffee, USA Today asshats.

Afterthoughts
It's a slam dunk that no matter how over-the-top the Maggot's prose is that USA Today will publish it, without changing a word. It's double standard time, again, at USA Today.

Anyone interested in reading the banned Coulter column can find it on World Net Daily's Internet site.

Virginia's Marriage Affirmation Act
Source: Capitalism Magazine [07/18]

Cap Mag commentator, Michael Hurd aimed his polished prose at Virginia's theocratic legislators and the liberty-zapping Marriage Affirmation Act they rammed through this year. Sold as fuzz ball, 'we're just standing up for traditional marriage' legicrap, the MAA's impact is much more ominous for Virginia's sovereign individuals. In addition to outlawing same sex marriage, civil unions, etc, the MAA also renders illegal private contracts between individuals of the same sex.

Michael Hurd makes the following salient points:

'...The wording of the law can easily be interpreted to mean that if a man or a woman wills, for example, his or her estate to a member of the same sex, that will can immediately be invalidated (or at least easily contested) because of the perception created that this will is based upon a same-sex romantic relationship. This issue is more than a dispute over gay rights and gay marriage. It has to do with the ability of religious individuals to impose their will on any members of the population who do not follow the precepts of their religion. It's the beginning of the end of property rights in the state of Virginia, this time not because of leftward socialism but because of rightward religious theocracy...'

'...Chickens eventually come home to roost, and this is what's happening now in Virginia. Overlooked by both sides of the issue are the principle of property rights—ignored by the left for decades—along with the principle of separation of church and state, ignored by the right for decades. The frightening thing is that the right now joins the left in its opposition to property rights. They merely disagree on whose property rights should be surrendered. Gay or straight, liberal or conservative -- you could be next....' (Capitalism Magazine)

It's no accident that Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson have their headquarters in the Virginia Theocracy. The sad truth is that these theocratic legicrats aren't the exception in Virginia, they're the rule. The best thing a sovereign individual can do is avoid this supernaturalist pest hole like your inalienable liberty depended on it. Will somebody, anybody, remind me, again, why so many men died forcing this Bible-bonkers blight back into the Union?

Afterthought
The state formerly known as Virginia (henceforth dubbed 'Theocratica') might not be a Sand Box class liberty blight, yet, but they're closing the gap very god damn fast. Get the hell out before it's too late.

Maggot Mouths Off In Canada
Source: Toronto Star    [07/14]

During a trip to Toronto, the Maggot perpetrated his familiar bloated blithering when he urged Canadian voters to  dump Conservative leader Stephen Harper in the upcoming election cycle.  As usual, the Maggot's outburst kicked up a ruckus, with the usual polarizing results.  A vast right-wingnut cabal at Canada's Queen's University began an Internet campaign to jail the Maggot for violating Canadian election law.  Determined to shield the Maggot's ample butt, the Mayor of a microscopic Canadian burg called Sarnia offered to make this bloated blight an honorary Canadian.  Bold new concept.


The Relevant Canadian Law

'...According to the Canada Elections Act, it is an offence for anyone who is not a Canadian citizen and does not live in Canada to "in any way induce electors to vote or refrain from voting or vote or refrain from voting for a particular candidate" during an election period....'  (Star)

Technically, Moore did break Canadian election law, but don't hold your breath for Socialist-infested Canada to hammer a militant Marxist like the Maggot, no matter how no shit guilty he might be.  It ain't gonna happen in your lifetime.

If there's anything noteworthy here, it's the fact that Canadian law blatantly limits an individual's free speech, based, entirely, on his nationality.  If Canada can be destroyed because a lard-ass loudmouth like the Maggot shoots off his mouth, the country has much bigger problems than one plus size propaganda purveyor.

The Fine Print On Book Burning
Source: CNN   [07/12]

When a Cedar Rapids (Iowa) church got geared up for its traditional book-burning, it ran afoul of city bureaucrats who cited certain rules concerning this cherished true believer ritual.  I am shocked, shocked I tell you.  Is nothing sacred these days?  First 'they' forced true believers to stop burning witches, and, now, they won't even let some pious peabrains burn a few books, CD's, videos and clothes.  The next thing you know someone will outlaw human sacrifice...What's that?  It's already illegal...Never mind...

For those who decry the death of Amerika's precious book burning tradition, here are the deplorable facts as spewed by Cedar Rapids' job for life hacks:

'..."We don't want a situation where people are burning rubbish as a recreational fire," said Brad Brenneman, the fire department's district chief. 

Linn County won't go for a fire outside city limits, either.  Officials said the county's air quality division prohibits the transporting of materials from the city to the county for burning....'  (CNN)

Sensitive to supernaturalism's need to destroy knowledge, the city hacks suggested using a shredder, in lieu of torching the tomes.  Rejecting that notion, the spineless holy rollers retooled their assault on intellectualism.  The new plan calls for them to dump the evil items into a trash can, 'then light candles to symbolically "burn" the material' (CNN).  As much as I detest book burning and those who perpetrate it, this symbolic burning is asinine, in the extreme.

Mother Nature Changes Tactics

Mother Nature changed tactics by infesting the Bay State with cuddly to the max chipmunks.  Thanks to a plentiful  food supply, the critters are begatting like there's no tomorrow.

'...Larger numbers of the racing-striped vermin are surviving through the winter and producing healthier litters during spring and summer mating seasons. Chipmunks are also known to be stubborn and territorial - extremely difficult to chase away from a food source.

"No kind of spray is going to keep a free-roaming mammal off your property,'' said Stephen Vantassel, owner of Wildlife Damage Control in Springfield.  "Even fencing is difficult because chipmunks can climb.''...'  (Herald)

Since countermeasures are extremely limited - no poison, only trapping is allowed - Bay State denizens should lay out a chipmunk size welcome may and learn to live with their new roomies.  I'm trying my best to feel Bay State pain, but this is Teddyland...so you'll understand why I'm smirking.

Carpetbagging political hack, Alan Keyes, continues to amaze and amuse this pagan with his catastrophic campaign rhetoric.

Bloated legicrat, Teddy Kennedy got up close and personal with Homeland Security when an airport ticket agent refused to let him board his plane. We're told that by some curious 'accident', Teddy's name landed on the infamous "no fly" watch list. At least one alleged 'wit' opined that the Homeland Security Department, inadvertently, got it's "no drive" and "no fly" watch lists, switched. I'll, uh...drink to that.

Several phone calls - intermingled with Teddy's familiar bellowing, no doubt - cleared him to fly home, but he got nailed by the same "no fly" list on the way back to D.C. We're told it took numerous calls, including three to Homeland Security Czar Tom Ridge to clear his name from the list, but the whole process ate up 'several weeks'.

The keynote speaker at the upcoming Elephant Clan convention will be none other than a Donkey Clan legicrat, Senator Zell Miller. I'm guessing that Zell shouldn't hold his breath waiting for Blithering Bobby Byrd, Terrible Tommy Daschel or Teddy 'The Swimmer' Kennedy to congratulate him.

Chief Justice Thomas?

According to the author of a soon-to-be released biography of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, this polarizing Justice is on W's short list for Chief Justice, should the opportunity arise. To his credit, Justice Thomas isn't that thrilled about it, but, he admits it would be a hard offer to turn down. If W gets a second term and Chief Justice Rehnquist retires, will W have the nads to nominate Clarence Thomas for the post? We won't know that until the time comes, but this smells like a 'what if' trial balloon to this pagan scribbler.

The following quote from Justice Thomas gets whole-hearted kudos from this scribbler:

'..."I do not understand this interest in me," he wrote to [biographer Ken] Foskett in 2002. "Perhaps some are confused because they have stereotypes of how blacks should be and I respectfully decline, as I did in my youth, to sacrifice who I am for who they think I should be."...' (News Max)

Alan Keyes' Senate Campaign
Source: Pagan Scribbler News Wire [08/09]

Alan Keyes tossed his holy roller hat into the Illinois Senate race ring, setting up the News Nitwits' highly prized all melanin-enriched Senate race. Focusing on the candidates' utterly irrelevant melanin attributes misses the point. The real distinctions between the two candidates are their diametrically opposed political philosophies. Given-at- birth traits don't tell a voter one damn thing about a given candidate, unless you buy into that bogus 'all [pick racial group] think alike', crap-o-la.

The centerpiece of Keyes' candidacy will be, as usual, restoring public morality through government coercion, because Old Ka-Boom knows best and he's issuing specific directions to his devoted toady, Alan Keyes. If Keyes wins the open Senate seat, he'll do his best to restore his fetid notions of proper 'public' morality, dragging sovereign individuals to 'righteousness', screaming and kicking, if necessary.

Keyes political rival, Barack Obama, runs on that tried and true Donkey Clan platform: class warfare. Elect him and he'll punish success, every chance he gets, so he can reward failure with all those lovely federal handouts. Barack doesn't give a rip if you end up in hell, but he'll be damned if he lets a chronically-needy loser enter the hereafter, without government-funded healthcare, job protection, and all applicable federally-funded largess.

The Illinois race showcases the two rival, equally-enslaving political philosophies favored by the dominant political clans, a fun fact that's lost on Amerika's so-called 'journalists'. Tragically, no matter which candidate wins, individual liberty loses. The results, therefore, are essentially meaningless, but the head-to-head political conflict might offer up the occasional tasty tidbit. Should anything suitably fun happen, this pagan scribbler will share the joy in these pages. Stay tuned...

Looking Over Uncle Sam's Shoulder in November
Source: World Net Daily [08/07]

When 13 Donkey Clan congresspunks begged the U.N. to send third world asshats to monitor Amerika's election day antics in November, U.N. Secretary-General Anan turned them down. Disappointed, but undaunted, they made the same pitch to Secretary of State Colin Powell, expecting a similar response. Yesterday, they got their reply and it wasn't what they expected. W and his minions gave a big okey dokey to foreign election monitoring.

The group tabbed for this great electoral adventure is 'the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the largest regional organization in the world with 55 participating nations' (WND), of which Uncle Sam is a member. Assistant Secretary of State Paul V. Kelly spewed the following political pablum:

"OSCE members, including the United States, agreed in 1990 in Copenhagen to allow fellow members to observe elections in one another's countries. Consistent with this commitment, the United States has already invited the OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) to observe the November 2, 2004, presidential elections." (WND)

Asinine? You bet. At best, W is trying to buy immunity from 4 more years of 'selected not elected' taunts from his lefty foes. As usual, he's resorting to half measures. Why insult the Amerikan electorate with Europe's socialist rabble when he can bitch slap voters big time by inviting democratic bastions like Saudi Arabia, China, and Cuba to supervise our fall elections?

Placating these perpetually whining Donkey Clan dweebs probably won't win him any votes in all those lefty enclaves, but it's guaranteed to piss off his vast right-wingnut friends. Look on the bright side, W, you just pissed off your supporters, but you might have a shot at this year's 'Golden D'oh'.

The Enemy Within
Source: AP [08/05]

A Homeland Security Department sting operation bagged two very likely suspects right in Uncle Sam's own backyard. Posing as a terrorist, an undercover agent approached the two suspects, asking them to help him bag a shoulder-fired missile. When they jumped at the chance to 'help' him, he busted their sorry asses. That's two in the good guys' win column.

You probably won't be shocked when I tell you that the two suspects are the imam of a mosque and one of the mosque's founders. But, it might open your eyes, big time, when I tell you that it's the Masjid As-Salam mosque, located in Albany, New York. That's right, two Amerika-dwelling Mecca Maniacs were ready, willing and able to assist a man they thought to be a terrorist.

It might be a flaw in my character, but this doesn't shock me one damn bit. So sue me...

A Bit Too Real For This Pagan
While channel surfing earlier this week, I strayed onto an unidentified reality show. The 'real' participants were bickering, grumbling and back-stabbing, while prepping for some forthcoming 'event'. Mildly curious, I decided to wait and see what this unknown 'it' entailed.

'It' transpired, after the participants gathered in a foyer, facing a long, curving stairway. 'He' made his grand entrance, accompanied by a trumpet fanfare fit for a reigning monarch. Trailed by his 3-piece suited toadies, 'The Donald' - comb-over clown, Emeritis, Donald Trump - perpetrated his diva moment.

While I resumed my channel surfing, I wondered if The Donald is vying for Gene Scott's "ego run amok" crown. Watch your back, Gene, The Donald means business.

Emerilizing the Presidential Debates
With the first presidential debate looming on the near horizon, it's time for some serious political talk about this asinine debate format. Excluding each candidate's Kool-Aide drinkers and those blithering talking heads who obsess on this crap, does anybody give a flaming damn about this political dog and pony show? Anybody? I didn't think so.

Based on the prevailing, corrosive, tone that dominates each candidate's campaign rhetoric, there has to be a much more appropriate forum for this long awaited face-to-face confrontation between these arch political rivals. If it's record-shattering, boob tube ratings and a standing room only crowd they want, the candidates should abandon this archaic format then agree to let wrestling promoter Vince McMahon stage a junk yard dog, no holds barred, Texas cage match between them. It's just as informative as the archaic format and vastly more entertaining.

For those who demand more bang for their buck, why not serve up a tag team, bikini match between the Bush twins and Kerry's daughters to get the audience warmed up for the main event? As thrilling as that might be, I'm holding out for a bout between MSNBC's bellowing asshat, Chris Matthews, and everyone's favorite flame-spewing legicrat, Senator Zell Miller.

Trust me when I tell you that the pay-per-view on this puppy could make a serious dent in the national debt. It's time to give the clamoring, government cess-schooled horde what they really want...Cage Match. Cage Match. Cage Match.

Connecticut's State Ethics Commission just fired its executive director, Alan Plofsky, after it discovered that Mr. Plofsky 'cheated on his work hours and told a subordinate to lie to a federal subpoena' (Newsday). Am I the only one who wonders how Mr. Plofsky defines 'ethics'? I doubt it.

After 24 years in the state's ethics commission, Mr. Plofsky deems the following antics 'okey dokey':

'... misuse of compensatory time, directing the release of a potentially privileged letter from the attorney general to a newspaper, directing a staff member to destroy a tape of a meeting and telling a staff member to lie in a grand jury matter...' (Newsday)

Our unethical ethics guru tried to distract the commission with bovine excrement about time reporting 'technicalities' and Clinton-esque word parcing, for all the good it did him. Ironically, he never cited the one excuse a rational adult might believe: 24 years in a reality-insulated government bureaucracy destroyed his ability to perpetrate ethical behavior.

Alan Keyes is shooting off his mouth again. During a boom box interview at the Elephant Clan national convention, he opined that Jesus wouldn't vote for Keyes' political opponent, Barack Obama, because Obama supports this nation's abortion rights laws. No doubt, a Cross Cultist of Keyes's stature got this political info direct from the Cross Dude himself. Bold new concept...

When asked about a recent boast by Mr. Obama that he - Obama - wanted to win big and give Keyes a political spanking, Keyes went off the deep end, spewing drivel about the term 'spanking' and it's racial overtones. Somehow, he linked it up to slavery, then accused Obama of insulting African-Amerikans.

Is Keyes nuts? Probably, but he's crazy like a fox. When your campaign is as cash-starved as his, news media publicity is the only way to keep your name out there. His irrational pronouncements are aimed, directly at the local media. If Illinois' news Nazis could learn to ignore this dolt, his campaign - along with his political future - would decline into well-deserved obscurity.

A Mexifornia - alleged - man used a satellite phone and global positioning satellites to track his ex-girlfriend's movements. His victim wondered how this clown kept finding her wherever she went, until she discovered him under her car, changing the battery in the cell phone he'd hidden there. The clever cretin used a motion switch to detect whenever the car moved, after which his spy gear transmitted a signal to a satellite, once every minute. Using an Internet site, this assclown monitored his victim's location. High tech? Hell yes. Clever in the extreme? That too. But we have a name for this, clever, high-tech brain-fart: stalking.

What, you wonder is his reward for all this cleverness? The maximum punishment includes a $500,000 fine and 6 years in a gray bar. He might wonder where she is, but she won't have that problem, because for the next 6 years, she'll know exactly where this asshat is 24/7. I can live with that.

Do I really need to caution, don't try this at home.

Afterthought
Global positioning satellites? Motion sensors? What's wrong with this clown?

My first impression is that this clown has way too much time on his hands, if he can spend all his time, tracking his ex-girlfriend's movements.

My second impression is that this clown just can't take a hint. No matter how stellar you may find the booty, when she says "It's over", you gotta take the hint. If he keeps this up, the next time she catches him under her car, she might climb in and run over his sorry ass. Vroom, vroom. Splat. Stalker problem solved.

During a Larry King interview, Walter Cronkite showcased News Nazi lefty-to-the-max bias when he opined that W's political guru, Karl Rove, is behind the new Bin Laden tape.

'...On Friday night, King showed Cronkite an excerpt from the al-Qaida videotape released earlier that day on the al-Jazeera satellite network in which bin Laden says: "Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or al-Qaida. Your security is in your own hands. Any nation that does not attack us will not be attacked."

Asked for his reaction, Cronkite said: "So now the question is basically right now, how will this affect the election? And I have a feeling that it could tilt the election a bit. In fact, I'm a little inclined to think that Karl Rove, the political manager at the White House, who is a very clever man, he probably set up bin Laden to this thing. The advantage to the Republican side is to get rid of, as a principal subject of the campaigns right now, get rid of the whole problem of the al Qaqaa explosive dump. Right now, that, the last couple of days, has, I think, upset the Republican campaign."...' (WND, emphasis added)

Stern:
"Let's face it. You got to the head of the FCC, you got to the front of the class the way George W. Bush got out of the draft -- and it's completely fair for me to question."

Kommandant:
"I think it's a cheap shot to say just because my father's famous, I don't belong in my position."

Stern:
"You're the judge, you're the arbiter, you're the one who tells us what we can and can't say on the air. And yet I really don't even think you're qualified to be the head of the commission. Do you deny that your father got you this job?"

Kommandant:
"I would deny it exceedingly. You can look at my resume if you want, Howard. I'm not ashamed of it and I think it justifies my existence," said Powell, adding that he served as the chief of staff of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division and was a private attorney. (CNN)

Stern:
'...Toward the end of the phone call, Stern noted he had been "respectful" throughout the conversation and he hoped "there's no sort of retribution as a result of my phone call, which I believe Michael is capable of." "I don't take this personally," Stern said. "I don't think that you personally hate me. I think what you've been doing is dangerous to free speech. I don't think just against me, I think things have gotten way out of control."...' (CNN)

Another GLAAD BAAG Hissy Fit

D.C.'s GLAAD BAAGs have their panties in a bunch, because the city's new baseball stadium will wipe out D.C.'s GLAAD BAAG entertainment zone. Given the city's Draconian zoning laws, the new stadium location is, ironically, the only suitable place where GLAAD BAAG-related businesses can operate. GLAAD BAAGs - quite correctly, in my opinion - complain that when the existing GLAAD BAAG fun spots are bulldozed, it will be impossible to find another - city approved - D.C. location where they can convene for their differently-sexual fun and games.

As usual, GLAAD BAAGs miss the central point on this baseball franchise escapade. There are, in this pagan scribbler's opinion, at least two salient points they can use in their defense. First, they should decry the city bureaucracy's interference in the marketplace via zoning laws that tell a business owner what he can do with his own property. Second, they should eviscerate the city for plowing $500 million dollars of taxpayer money - probably much, much more - into this baseball farce. If the team owner and the baseball league want a new stadium in D.C., why shouldn't they be forced to pay for it?

GLAAD BAAGs, reflexively, serve up a victimism-based defense, whenever life nails them with bad news. In situations like this one, it's a losing strategy. It's time for GLAAD BAAGs to change tactics. They need to shed their group think and embrace inalienable individual liberty.

For those who care, here are some thrilling factoids from this Washington Post piece:

'...several Web sites began offering software promising ringtones and screensavers for certain cell phones.

Are cellidiots playing a telecommunications variant of Russian Roulette? You better damn believe it, bellowing, cellidiot Sparky.

'...Over the past two years, federal safety officials have received 83 reports of cell phones exploding or catching fire, usually because of incompatible, faulty or counterfeit batteries or chargers. Burns to the face, neck, leg and hip are among the dozens of injury reports the agency has received...' (Bee)

'..."If you're cramming more and more power in a small space, what you're making is a small bomb," said Carl Hilliard, president of the California-based Wireless Consumers Alliance, which has been tracking incidents of cell phone fires and explosions...' (Bee)

Exploding cell phones? If there's a problem here, I don't see it because cellidiots are a pestilence that must be exterminated, by any means necessary. If the occasional cell phone undergoes a 'dynamic reconfiguration' (explodes) and it terrifies these bellowing cellidiot cretins into silence...however briefly, it's, as the Old Ka-Boomists might say, "a blessing".

"Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males, provided they are not disabled or incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world....But those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world."

"Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them, put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]…. Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for the Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other [Qur’anic] psalms and Hadiths [sayings of the Prophet] urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all this mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim." (Front Page)

It's time to wake up and smell the 'the only good infidel is a dead infidel', global jihad coffee, before it's too damn late.

The stipulation that you may say whatever you like so long as you don't hurt anyone's feelings canonizes the milquetoast homily, "If you can't say anything nice. . . ." Since rare is the sentiment that does not incense someone, rest assured that in that instance you don't say anything at all...'

'...I am under no obligation to respect your beliefs. Respect is earned; it is not an entitlement. I may regard creationists as plain wrong, which would make holding their beliefs in high regard nonsensical. In kind, if I proclaim on a street corner that a certain Japanese beetle in my back garden is the new Messiah, you are also within your rights to ridicule me as a fruitcake...'

'...[When legicrats perpetrate] "hate crime" legislation, are we not on the way to classifying hatred itself as a crime? And while we are at it, should we not then criminalize envy and narcissism for also being antisocial states of mind? Moreover, what is the difference between "incitement to hatred" and "incitement to fierce dislike"? Or "incitement to mockery"?...' (Opinion Journal)

When this pagan scribbler's sibling reported that his domicile was ground zero in the blizzard that paralyzed several Midwestern states, this pagan scribbler decided to lift those snowbound spirits by pointing out some blizzard victim silver linings.

1) Annoying, out of town relatives won't drop in, unannounced, during the holidays.
2) You don't need to worry about mowing or watering your lawn.
3) Think of all the gas money you'll save by staying home.
4) You have more time to surf the Internet for those hard to find "Transsexual Albanians who do impossible things with sea turtles" web sites.
5) After the storm, you can regale your warm climate chums with your "How I braved the blizzard" saga.

Washington's Election Fiasco
Terminally 'lefty' Washington State finally has the result it wanted in the Governor's race. Just for grins, let's recap the electoral fun and games:

After the election, the Elephant Clan candidate eeked out a narrow, 261 vote, margin.

The ensuing recount reduced the Elephant Clan candidate's victory margin to a paltry 42 votes.

After an unprecedented third recount - a hand recount - extra Donkey Clan votes "miraculously" appeared giving the Donkey Clan the result it wanted, a 130 vote victory for their candidate. Faster than a warp speed chad, Donkey Clan hacks shouted called for an end to the "partisan" vote count bickering, and who can blame them.

I'm guessing that a fourth recount would produce a Donkey Clan victory margin that exceeds the state's known population. Ain't democracy grand in blue state Amerika?

Assorted Tidbits

Mexas Still Leads The Pack
When it comes to executing deserving desperados, Mexas still sets the pace by offing 23 scumbags in 2004. It's down, slightly, from 2003, but still about average for this capital punishment-affirming state. Keep up the good work, Mexas dudes.

Christmas Newsletters
Today, a Hell-A based boom box duo, John and Ken, were discussing that familiar Christmas mainstay, the 'our family's greatest accomplishments newsletter'. After John noted that all the newsletter writers have "gifted" children, Ken asked: "Don't parents with dumb kids write newsletters?" Apparently not, but I laughed anyway.

How cool would it be if somebody dared to thrill their newsletter victims with some eye-popping prose: "Megan celebrated her 14th birthday this year by turning into a complete slut. Brian immortalized his graduation from juvenile hall by knocking up two jailbait trollops. Dan is still banging that squinty-eyed bitch he hired as his secretary like she's a Chinese gong, and I'm getting regular...injection from our gardener..."

More Dire, Cell Idiocy Warnings
Source: Reuters [12/20]

Euro scientists served up more 'wishful thinking' research on the inherent dangers posed by continued cell phone use...yes again. This time out, their stop the presses claim involves the fun fact that these cellular technological blights damage cellidiot DNA. Damaged cellidiot DNA sounds nifty - in the extreme - to this pagan scribbler, but the study goes on to shatter any hopes I have for early, painful, cellidiot room temperature transitions:

'...The so-called Reflex study, conducted by 12 research groups in seven European countries, did not prove that mobile phones are a risk to health but concluded that more research is needed to see if effects can also be found outside a lab...' (Reuters)

It would be spiffy if these Euro scientists zipped their lips and stopped giving rational adults false hopes for self-induced cellidiocy oblivion, but that, apparently, is too much to ask. At press time, the only danger to life and limb cell idiocy poses to these cell-addicted cretins stems from someone like me going postal on a cellidiot who insists on bellowing out un-goddamn-wanted details of his life into his cell, while I'm trying to enjoy a quiet meal in my favorite eatery. That eventuality is a virtual slam dunk...it's only a matter of time...

"You don't need to be a career asshole to own a cell phone, but it's a slam dunk that every hell on wheels asshat owns at least one of the damn things." (PIG Advice)

Pesky Details Mousetrap Billy Gates
Source: CNET News [12/17]

Software behemoth, Microsoft, didn't get everything it wanted when it bought Giant Software Company, a company that makes anti-spyware software. The one thing Billy Gates wants from the deal, uncluttered rights to Giant's spyware zapper programs, got sidetracked thanks to a devilish detail that nobody at Giant bothered to mention: another software company, Sunbelt Software, owns exclusive rights to 'create and distribute software development tools for Giant's programs' (CNET). This means Billy Gates and his minions must say "mother may I" to Sunbelt executives, before they can, legally, allow Microsoft's software partners to 'build links to Giant's programs' (CNET).

It's a safe bet that, whatever he said when he got the thrilling news about Sunbelt, Billy Gates' response was much more colorful than Homer's all purpose "D'oh".

Red-Faced In Spring Valley
Source: The Journal News (Westchester, New York) [12/12]

Spring Valley's (New York) men in blue are embarrassed, and then some, to report that somebody stole 100 pot plants from under their noses. Deeming the illicit 'greens' too aromatic for the police station evidence room, they decided to store them in an 'off-site storage area', until some daring desperados made off with them. The perpetrator won't be hard to find, he'll be the stoner with the perpetual smirk etched into his face. Smoke 'em if you've got 'em, pot punks.

Pagan Scribbler Survives Another Year
Source: Pagan Scribbler Shallow Thoughts [12/09]

Contrary to popular myth, this pagan is not a demon sent from hell to torment supernaturalists. In fact, this pagan scribbler was hatched, in the usual manner, on this very day, [top secret] years ago. For this particular birthday, my lovely bride gave me a U.S. Air Force pocket watch, a goodie that salutes this pagan scribbler's military service. For those who feel the need to ask, "What did you do in the war, shit for brains?", I have the following answer:

I did battle with the commie pinko horde and made Thailand safe for hookers and transsexuals. Eat your heart out, John 'War Hero' Kerry.

Although I'm not ashamed of my military service, I doubt that the U.S. Air Force is thrilled spitless about it. I consider it a major achievement for an authority-phobic clown like me to get through 4 years in the Air Force without my commanding officer shooting me for insubordination. Maybe that's why my honorable discharge came with a handwritten note that pleaded: Here's your honorable discharge, asshole. Do us a favor and don't tell anybody.

And now you know, the rest of the story.

Parsing 'Dude'
Source: AP [12/08]

A University of Pittsburgh egghead with way too much time on his hands just published a scholarly paper deconstructing and deciphering the word "dude" (AP)'. How, I ask, have we lived this long without this seminal prose? And what, you ask, has this scholar concluded about the ubiquitous "dude"?

'...[linguist] Scott Kiesling said the four-letter word has many uses: in greetings ("What's up, dude?"); as an exclamation ("Whoa, Dude!"); commiseration ("Dude, I'm so sorry."); to one-up someone ("That's so lame, dude."); as well as agreement, surprise and disgust ("Dude."). Kiesling says in the fall edition of American Speech that the word derives its power from something he calls cool solidarity — an effortless kinship that's not too intimate...' (AP)

Rumors that this egghead's next scholarly expose will center on the infamous, multipurpose, 'f' word are unfounded. Bummer.

Gambling Goes Ultra High Tech
Source: Reuters [12/05]

An enterprising trio hit upon an innovative - strictly legal - way to turn the house-friendly odds on roulette on their head. Using laser technology, the trio walked away with an estimated 1.3 million in Brit funny money (at least $2,000,000 in dead presidents) and there's nothing London's Ritz casino can do about it.

'...The Hungarian woman and two Serbian men used a laser scanner hidden in a mobile phone linked to a computer to gauge the speed of the ball and the roulette wheel, and hence the number most likely to come up. They were able to do the calculations swiftly enough to place their bets as required before the roulette wheel has gone round three times...' (Reuters)

The cops checked them out, impounded their winnings, temporarily, but eventually released the trio and their money, deeming their high tech gambling scheme, street legal. You can bet the damn farm that every casino on the planet is scrambling to find some way to foil this odds-trimming, high tech approach to roulette. Somebody needs to remind these casino punks that the reason it's called "gambling" is because everybody - even the house - can lose their shirt.

Death Is No Excuse
Source: Tennessean [12/02]

A Tennessee Highway Patrol punk Emerilized revenue enhancement (ticketing unwary Tennesseans) when he ticketed a dude 10 days after he achieved room temperature in a traffic accident. Death, it appears, is not a valid excuse in Tennessee. If your driving gets you killed in Tennessee, a traffic citation will await you at the pearly gates.

Red-faced, to say the least, state officials quickly disavowed this innovative new revenue stream and made meaningful noises about firing the officer who pioneered ticketing room temperature Tennesseans. Given the stranglehold public employee unions have on such things, terminating this Highway Patrol punk seems highly unlikely. For now, if you're motoring in Tennessee and contemplate death as a way to avoid paying your traffic tickets, don't bet the farm on it succeeding.

Bagging The Ace Of Spades
Source: PIG News Wire

Seeing the butcher from Bagdad looking like every filthy, lice-ridden homeless dude who ever lurked near a 7-11 didn't thrill the sand monkey hordes spitless. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. The Great Satan bagged this sand monkey icon hiding in a vermin infested hole in the ground without a shot being fired and the Mecca Maniacs are having fits about it. Poor babies.

On the home front the reactions vary, depending on which part of the political spectrum you occupy. The reaction from the vast right-wingnut conspiracy is about what you'd expect and who can blame them. They're shouting the news from the rooftops, hoping that warrior W's success in capturing Saddam will distract the Amerikan electorate from his blatantly statist domestic disasters. The usual lefty suspects, especially their oval office aspirants, are acting like their dog died...so what else is new. This pagan gives W props for capturing Saddam, but I still want him gone in '04. So sue me.

Unlikely Allies

Rush Limbaughs titanic struggle against politically motivated Florida justice system officials has taken an interesting turn. Various government shysters are so determined to pin a drug rap on Rush that they're leaving no stone unturned, including Rush's medical records. This drama polarizes the great unwashed, along political lines, with one, improbable exception. The unflinching leftists in Florida's ACLU chapter just offered to help Rush keep his medical records private. Go figure!

'..."I don't know if Rush Limbaugh wants the help of the ACLU, but I intend to call his attorney on Friday," ACLU executive director [for Florida] Howard L. Simon told the Miami Herald on Thursday...' (News Max)

Will Rush accept ACLU help? I don't know, but when I find out, you'll be informed by PIG News.

Mother Nature's Helpers Get Potted
Source: PIG News Wire

Sweden's responsible adults issued an all points bulletin to warn Swedes about a drunken rampage occurring throughout the Swedish wilderness. They report that elk are eating fermented berries, getting drunk on their overgrown ass, then running amok in local human habitats, terrorizing the locals. If you're visiting Sweden and see an elk staggering in your direction, seek cover immediately. When a half ton, horned-packing critter gets stink faced, give it a wide berth. This is not a drill.

Mother Nature Feeling Frisky, Again

Mother Nature's little helpers are poised to thrill Victoria-dwelling Aussies spitless, next year. Aussie critter experts predict a European Wasp bumper crop. Fear not, they say, ignore the 29,999 other stinger packers in each wasp nest, find the queen wasp, then off her. And here you were worrying needlessly. Oh, did I mention that each European Wasp can be 4cm (1.57 inches) long? Bold new concept.

The truth, reality and immutable core concepts don't come with a 'use by' date. Yesterday, today or tomorrow they remain unchanged. Immune to the ravages of time, they are unaffected by the prevailing, transitory, political, cultural or supernatural whim.

Two Sides, Same Coin

Liberals
Seek to liberate the individual from his bondage to material needs via government coerced wealth redistribution.

Conservatives
Seek to liberate the individual from his spiritual bondage to man's inherently sinful nature - the 'old Adam', A.K.A. original sin - via government coerced morality.

Medicrap Rant

Stick a fork in marketplace based medicine because it is done. Socialized medicine is now a fait accompli, thanks to this oval office hack and the spineless, liberty hating elephant clan who rammed through the bloated, disastrous prescription drugs Legicrap. Tell me, again, how this is better than those dastardly 'tax and spend' 'big government' donkey clan hacks.

Unexpected Guest
Source: PIG News Wire

Cable news Nazis are in a lather over the latest Presidential surprise. The news broke after the fact: W paid a top secret visit to Amerikan troops in Bagdad. The din you hear comes from W-hating lefties gearing up to decry this dangerous presidential stunt. Fun Fact: W is the first president to visit Iraq.

Emerilizing Bambi Slaughter

A Michigan dwelling intellectual flat-liner decided to Emerilize his deer hunting trip by hiding in the brush then making deer noises to fool his hunting buddies. Falling for the ruse, his pals administered a timely reality check with the ensuing fusillade. Do I really need to say, 'Don't try this at home?'

The Perils of Channel Surfing
Source: PIG Scribbler Tantrum

While channel surfing, today, I endured a C-Span daily double from hell. First, they presented terminally unfunny alleged comedian, Al Franken. Later, the same cable blight served up that fat, way-lefty loudmouth, Michael Moore. Fear not, loyal reader, your favorite pagan scribbler emerged unscathed, because, during his channel surfing, he had the sound muted.
