What Day Is It?

Its the International Talk Like A Pirate Day!

And that means its time for get in touch with your inner pirate. And who doesn't want to get in touch with their inner pirate?

Once you've gotten in touch with your inner pirate, the job is not over. Remember to consult the Affirmations for your Inner Pirate:

Stuart Smalley's Daily Affirmations for the Inner Pirate

Monday:
"I'm going to rape and pillage today just for the heck of it because, gosh darn it, I deserve to have a good time."

Tuesday:
"I am not a fraud, a thief yes, but not a fraud."

Wednesday:
"I deserve all the loot and booty I can carry without feeling ashamed or being grandiose."

Thursday:
"I will express my feelings today. I will not hide them behind my eyepatch. My eyepatch is not a mask for my feelings, but rather a small swatch of leather that covers a hideous scar."

Friday:
"When I overtake that merchants vessel, I will not be playing those parent tapes in my head: "You wield a cutlass like a girl" . . . "Why can't you be more like Blackbeard's son?" . . . "Philosophy? What kind of major is that? It's useless!"

Saturday:
"Just because I indulge in wine and wenches does not mean I'm an alcoholic sex-addict like my father."

Sunday:
"If I must violently put down a mutiny today, it is not because I am a bad person or that I am not worthy of love; it is because my crew are a bunch of yellow-bellied, lily-livered sons-of-whores--and I am mean enough, ruthless enough, and dog gone it, people fear me."

Thought for the Day

To deliberately burn a copy of the Koran in a public act is essentially useless. It's like throwing a Frisbee for Peace, or any of the other stupid acts of posturing practiced by the self-styled Peace Movement back during the Cold War.

It is nothing more than a Voodoo ceremony.

Islam, like all other anti-human (you know, EVIL) ideologies, can only be opposed through the education of the general population of its actual doctrines and effects, and through the consistent exercise of retaliatory force upon those Muslims who cross the line into violence.

When we do this (and we have to) the problem of Koran disposal will take care of itself.

What are your questions on this block of instruction?

So Anyway

Les wakes up, and he notices that many lefties still hate Bush, and says:

(Roll 1d6)

1-3. So what else is new?

4-5. Really? Kate Bush can't suck that badly.

6. Something involving an obscure anatomical reference that he cannot repeat in a public forum. (Checks to see that he spelled "public" correctly.)

Les goes back to bed.

Thought for the Day

Revolutions happen because the ruling class does something really stupid.

In the American case, it is simply to exist.

So Anyway

Here's a conversation I had with a customer yesterday:

Passenger: Thank you for being honest!

Me: I like to keep my karma in order.

The passenger had given me 23 dollars when it was very obvious that she had intended to give me 8 dollars for the fare.

Seriously, being dishonest is just too much work.

So Anyway

Yesterday some African American Asshole called me a racist because I wouldn't give him a free ride in my taxi cab.

That's not racism, that's business.

This comment brought to you by the letters "F" and "U".

An Observation

What we have occupying the White House is an affirmative action diversity hire who will do anything other than the job he was hired for.

So what else is new?

Announcement!

I finally bought a cell phone.

A Little Unclear On The Concept

"When Japanese troops invested the German colony of Tsingtao [Quingdao], on October 31, 1914, they sent a message wishing the defenders good luck."

So Anyway

The local nurses union staged a strike this week. There were yard signs all over town declaring that they care for us. As far as I recall this is the first time I have ever seen political yard signs go up before a strike.

There have also been billboards put up around the Twin Cities area proclaiming their position of "people before corporate profits." Clearly a shining example of someone's brain on leftism.

I don't believe that it would be a good use of my time to try to explain to the shrieking harpies that without the reasonable expectation of a return on an investment no rational individual would make an investment. In other words, with out profits there are no hospitals. Even the local church based hospitals over in Saint Paul, Minnesota have merged into a corporation, the Healtheast Care System. (I used to work for them.)

I had to hold my tongue and my middle finger today as I and about five other drivers from Red and White Taxi had to drive by some picketing harpies at the Minneapolis Children's Hospital who were shrieking that I and my passengers, four of the nice ladies who were filling in for the strikers, should die.

(I have to wonder how many of those shrieking harpies are involved with the Church of Obamatology.)

You know, I would not want any of those shrieking harpies anywhere near me or any other member of my family in the event of a hospitalization.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled reality.

Mass Murderer Day!

I'd say "Happy Mass Murderer Day", but that would make me sound like that idiot who's presently married to Barbara Streisand.

Once again the self-styled "Progressives", whose only real progress has been in inventing new excuses for stone age bad behavior, are taking time out from their efforts to turn their respective countries into unspeakable hellholes to celebrate a holiday that they stole from a bunch of heathens.

They still call it May Day. I've started calling it Mass Murderer Day.

For a number of years I have mocked the present occupant of a stolen U.S. Senate seat Al Franken. Ayn Rand once said that it was morally acceptable mock evil as long as it was recognized as evil. So once again I present:

Stuart Smalley's Daily Affirmations for the Inner Communist

Monday:

"I'm going to execute and expropriate today just for the heck of it because, gosh darn it, I deserve to have a good time."

Tuesday:

"I am not a fraud, a Marxist yes, but not a fraud."

Wednesday:

"I deserve all the mass adulation from the people I can get without feeling ashamed or being grandiose."

Thursday:

"I will express my feelings today. I will not hide them behind my mustache. My mustache is not a mask for my feelings, but rather a small patch of facial hair that covers my inadequacies."

Friday:

"When I rob a bank for the cause, I will not be playing those parent tapes in my head: "You wield a revolver like a girl" . . . "Why can't you be more like Stalin?" . . . "Philosophy? What kind of major is that? It's useless!"

Saturday:

"Just because I execute Christians and counter-revolutionaries does not mean I'm an mass-murdering psychopath like my father."

Sunday:

"If I must violently put down a counter-revolution today, it is not because I am a bad person or that I am not worthy of love; it is because my people are a bunch of religion-addicted capitalist sons-of-bitches--and I am mean enough, ruthless enough, and dog gone it, people fear me."

A pile of rocks on their 100,000,000,000,000 dollar note. Wow! What did they expect when a Moscow-indoctrinated stone-age savage is put in charge?

So anyway, I went shopping today.

I was very tempted to insert a Monty Python reference here.

Bought a new M1911A1 made by Rock Island Armory for $556.35 at a gun show today. What can I say? It was love at first sight.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled reality.
