Busy

Writing short story.

Will return to blogging later.

Somebody Is Seeing The Fnords

Tim Blair exposes Karl Rove's evil plan...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Someone Else's Thought For The Day

LASunsett has an idea:

I move that we honor Bill Clinton.

How does the William Jefferson Clinton Wastewater and Sewage Treatment Plant, sound?

That's good, but how about "Big Bubba's Cigar and Knocking Shop"?

I love British euphemisms.

42, What's The Question?

I have to see this.

I must confess that I originally heard the BBC Radio series on National Public Radio.

Oh, the shame of it.

Meanwhile...Across The Ocean

Green goons attack commodity traders, commodity traders strike back causing green goons to cry like the spoiled babies that they are.

Here's my initial comment (posted at Emperor Misha's) on the whole thing:

Commerce has been part of human life since someone discovered that they could trade their better quality stone knives for some decently processed bear skins. Commerce is one of the things that separate us from the lower animals.

An attack on commerce by the green-creeps (or socialists in general) is an attack on human life in general.

Well, Isn't That Surreal?

Characters from my TRAVELLER fan fiction novel have shown up in someone else's online novel.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled reality.

So Anyway

I'm up to page 15 of the "damn the budget" version of my screenplay for a TRAVELLER movie.

This is about 1/6th the basic minimum length for a screenplay.

Well, Isn't That Surreal?

The United States Navy has placed into commission the nuclear powered attack submarine U.S.S. JIMMY CARTER.

To which I have to say, "HUH?"

And this is Chris Muir's take on this:

Thought for the Day

Ayn Rand used to mock the nature-worshipping greenies by suggesting that they turn to worshipping smokestacks.

Screw the smokestack, I'll take a Saturn-V any day.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled reality.

Les On Blogging

Never apologise for being right, no matter who you offend.

Well, Isn't That Surreal?

It becomes increasingly apparent that the word "journalist" is now synonymous with the word liar.

For example:

European journalists tend to portray the Sunni Arab and al Qaeda terrorism as the brave efforts of a broad based Iraqi effort to free the country of hated American occupiers. These fantasies get more bizarre, with accusations that coalition forces are behind the kidnappings, or, at worst, it is common criminals looking to score a large ransom ... Reality is contorted in truly amazing ways by these writers, as they try to make Saddam's tyranny into the "good old days", and a better place than a democratic Iraq. The recent elections are portrayed as a clever fraud, and any Iraqi fighting against the terrorists are deemed traitorous collaborators.

Quote of the Day

Dr. John Ray dug up an interesting quote from Friedrich Engels:

"The Germans have long since shown that in all spheres of science they are equal, and in most of them superior, to other civilised nations. Only one branch of science, political economy, had no German name among its foremost scholars."

Do we have to wonder why?

In Other News

Al Franken will not run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Mark Dayton Marshall-Fields.

Darn, that means that the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Demented-Fascist-Looter party will have to nominate a serious candidate for that seat.

Union Goonery In Action

An open letter from actor Jon Voight.

A Reminder

The Soviet Union built the first nuclear armed Intercontinental Ballistic Missile.

My Horoscope

From The Onion, February 9, 2005:

Sagittarius: (Nov. 22—Dec. 21)

You're fond of saying that there's more that unites people than divides them, a sentiment that is proven true when the Nepalese band together to destroy you.

And I used to worry about lefties.

Someone Else's Thought For The Day

A veteran of the Korean War has something to say about the folks in Hollyweird:

In contrast to the ideals, opinions and feelings of today's "Hollywonk" the real actors of yester-year loved the United States.

They had both class and integrity. With the advent of World War many of our actors went to fight rather than stand and rant against this country we all love.

They gave up their wealth, position and fame to become service men & women, many as enlisted.

This page lists but a few, but from this group of only 18 men came over 70 medals in honor of their valor, spanning from Bronze Stars, Silver Stars, Distinguish Service Cross', Purple Hearts and one Congressional Medal of Honor.

So remember; while the "Entertainers of 2005" have been in all of the news media lately I would like to remind the people of what the entertainers of 1943 were doing, (62 years ago).

Most of these brave men have since passed on.

You really should read the whole thing.

Today in Pizzaland

Made a delivery tonight to a local den of thieves union hall. In this temple of socialism there was am envelope stuffing party going on. A Wellstone yard sign had been framed and was hanging in a position of honor at the front of the hall.

I managed not to spit fire at anyone present.

So much for rational & reasoned debate from the left...

As the old saying goes, "It's hard to get a refund when the salesman is humping your leg and howling at the moon."
Here we have an example of a college student responding to an article on Leftist textbooks rewriting the Cold War with code to find the GCD.

Irony In Action

Mark Noonan at Blogs for Bush wrote:

It is absurd to think that the solutions to 70 year old problems are applicable in the world of today - we just aren't what we were back then. We need, as a society, to ever think anew and act anew. But what we're getting, in what is surely one of history's greatest ironies, is liberals demanding rigid adherence to the past while conservatives are pushing change for the future ... liberals seem determined to stand or fall upon a defense of things as they are - they have become reactionaries; disdaining change not because of what it might do, but because it is change. We've got a long fight on this Social Security issue, but I cannot imagine that a hidebound defense of a worn-out past will triumph.
