And Now For Something Completely Different

While I did vote for Ron Paul when he ran for president as a Libertarian.  I think I will vote for the Norwegian Party in this years election.

Opinion

Strange women distributing swords isn't a basis of government.  But it's clearly better than what we have today.

 

History Lesson

 The Monty Python group used to have sketch called Spot The Loony.  We in America are now being ruled by a bunch of loonies.

Motivation

UPDATE 1455 CST: My neighbor in APT# 2312 makes a lot of noise, and the building management refuses to do anything.

Remember

What happens in Camelot stays in Camelot.

Thought For The Day

John Cleese said that he abhors Political Correctness, that's putting it mildly John.

Punishing a man for an act he did not commit is unjust. Imprisoning a man for speaking the truth is tyrannical. Disarming the citizens -- who are the sovereign authority of the nation -- is treason.  To say anything more would require the extensive use of barracks language.  There's no such thing as "common sense gun control" those who are in favor of banning firearms are enemies of Humanity and should be treated in the Nuremberg style, from the neck until dead.  And there's no limit to what a Statist can do to a disarmed victim.

Another Opinion

I could go on as to why I completely agree with Mr. Cleese but I have things to do.

And thanks to Mark Urbin for the image.

Not An Original Thought

I know it’s not original but I had to do it, so here’s the Dead Prophet Sketch.


The cast:  Tom Cruise, a short guy.  David Miscavige, a really short guy.


Tom Cruise enters the shop pushing a large leather chair with dead old man on it.

TC: Hello, I want to complain.

(Miscavige doesn’t respond.)

TC: Hello, Miss?

DM: What do you mean "miss"?

TC: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!

DM: We're closing for lunch.

TC: Never mind that! I’m here to complain about this prophet that I purchased about half an hour ago from this shop.

DM: Oh yes, the, uh, the Nebraska Red. What's, uh...What's wrong with him?

TC: He's dead, that's what's wrong with him!

DM: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.

TC: Look, I know a dead prophet when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.

DM: No, no, he's not dead, he's, he's resting! Remarkable prophet, isn't, it? Beautiful haircut!

TC: But he's stone dead.

DM: Nononono, no, no! He's resting!

TC: All right then, if he's resting, I'll wake him up! (shouting at the chair) 'Hello, Ronnie! I've got some lovely cash for you to grab if you show...

(Miscavige hits the chair)

DM: There, he moved!

TC: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the chair!

DM: I never!!

TC: Yes, you did!

Owner: I never, never did anything...

TC: (yelling and hitting the chair repeatedly) HELLO RONNIE!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!

(Takes Hubbard out of the chair and thumps his head on the counter. Stands him up and watches him fall to the floor.)

TC: Now that's what I call a dead prophet.

DM: No, no.....No, he's stunned!

TC: STUNNED?!?

DM: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was waking up! Nebraska Reds stun easily, sir.

TC: Now look... I've definitely had enough of this. That prophet clearly deceased, and when I bought him not half an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it being tired and shagged out following a prolonged lecture.

DM: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the wheat fields.

TC: PINING for the WHEAT FIELDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?  And why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got him home?

DM: Nebraska Reds prefer to lay on the back! Remarkable prophet, isn’t he? Lovely haircut!

TC: Look, I took the liberty of examining that senator when I got him home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting in his chair in the first place was that he had been NAILED there.

(pause)

DM: Well, of course he was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed him down, he would have stood up and gone VOOM!

TC: "VOOM"?!? Sir, this man wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through him! He's totally demised!

DM: No, no! He's pining!

TC: He's not pining! He’s passed on! This prophet is no more! He has ceased to be! He’s expired and gone to meet his maker! He’s a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed him to the chair he'd be pushing up the daisies! His metabolic processes are now history! He’s off the twig! He’s kicked the bucket, He’s shuffled off his mortal coil and moved on to Target Two!! THIS IS AN EX-PROPHET!!

(pause)

DM: Well, I'd better replace him, then. (he takes a quick peek behind the counter) Sorry sir, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop we're out of prophets.

TC: I see. I see, I get the picture.

DM: I got a slug.

(pause)

TC: Does it talk?

DM: Nnnnot really.

TC: WELL IT'S NOT A REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?

DM: N-no, I guess not. (gets ashamed, looks at his feet)

TC: Well?

DM: It leaves a trail of slime.

TC: All right.

Silly Men

Michael Palin of Monty Python has come out and said that the surviving members of the group will not mock Islam out of fear of retaliation.

Too [EXPLETIVE] bad.

[Reference to the Unknown Joke deleted]


The surrender of the remaining members of Monty Python to Islam is a clear indication of the state of government and culture in the United Kingdom.

It appears that we will have to write the lot of them off.

And one final word on this matter:

Every nuke is sacred.
Every nuke is great.
If a nuke is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Groan!

Christmas Day is supposed to be a day of rest.  Of course back when I used to work as a uniformed security officer I would always grab every overtime shift available.

I had never heard the word "twit" before I began watching Monty Python's Flying Circus on the local public television station as I was growing up.  When the Twitter service became available I avoided it because I associated the name of the service with the concept of "twit."

As reported by Twitchy.com, the so-called comic Sarah Silverman has unintentionally confirmed the validity of my decision. Fortunately spittle cannot be transmitted through the Internet.

First Silverman addresses us -- the real citizens who accept responsibility for the armed defense of ourselves, our families, and our nation -- with an apparently new pejorative term: Gun Boners.

Isn't that special?

The fundamental rule of argument is to address your audience with respect.  This is the case especially with those who clearly disagree with your proposition.  But then Liberals rarely had respect for their opponents.  Or for their victims.

Silverman had also spoke of Pope Francis as an authority in this case.  Which is complete nonsense as Liberals as a rule hold the Papacy and Catholicism in utter contempt.  And in the actual context of the statement actually made by the Pope it clearly appears that he doesn't understand that the cause of the problem is not the presence of arms but the ideology of the factions, that being the differing interpretations of the doctrine of Islam.

But then the truth is never true to a Liberal.
