Quote of the Day

Orson Scott Card on the London bombings:

You can always murder ordinary people if you want to. All it proves is that you're a murderer. It moves Osama bin Laden into the class of men like Ted Bundy -- his body count is rising, but it means nothing except that he loves to kill and hasn't been caught yet.

Suggestion

Keep an eye on Cuba.

President Bush and Secretary of State Rice are planning something:

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has announced the creation of a new post to help "accelerate the demise" of the Castro regime in Cuba.

I have no doubt that the Caring tm and the Compassionate tm are going to throw a fit about "Chimpy McBushhitler's depraved acts of aggression against the Peace-Loving tm people of Cuba."

Varifrank also has his plans for the day Comrade Castro finally goes down:

I have a very large bottle of a fermented adult beverage sitting on ice waiting for the day this bloodsucker ends his reign of death over the people of Cuba. I have a feeling, just a slight hint of a feeling that the day I get to open that bottle is not that far off.

I must confess that I only have a bottle of Samuel Adams in the fridge at the moment.

So Anyway

Varifrank is making fun of Yoko Ono.

Good for him.

Now some people might wish that the poor woman would be left alone. I on the other hand believe that a performance artist who has made a career of striking absurd political and moral poses and emitting incoherent noises deserves to be mocked.

And anyone who struck poses in the effective service of some of the vilest people on Earth simply could not be mocked enough.

By the way, here is my contribution to great festival of Yoko Ono mocking:

Now that the Chauchat was in Jumpspace, Daevagh needed to speak to Dennis. He knocked on the Captain's Cabin door.

"Enter!" Dennis yelled.

The door slid open and Daevagh stepped in.

Dennis was sitting across the lower bunk with his back against the wall. The screen over the desk across the cabin was showing what appeared to be a documentary program.

"What are you watching?" Dav asked.

"A recent episode of a Solomani documentary series," said Dennis. "It's called 'Man's Crisis of Identity in the Latter Half of the Twentieth Century.' The subject of this episode is the question of whether Yoko Ono was actually a fifth Beatle, or just a talentless and inscrutable bore."

This was almost completely beyond Daevagh's comprehension.

"So which was he?" he asked.

"She," said Dennis. "I personally favor the talentless bore point of view."

"I must confess," Dennis continued, "that I've found a roll of duct tape, a high quality audio headset, and one of her early recordings to be quite useful when questioning a prisoner."

"Um . . . okay," said Dav.

"Did you need to speak to me about something?"

"It can wait." Said Daevagh as he slowly backed out of the Captain's Cabin.

No, I'm not posting the URL at this time.

What? Okay... I will...

A Word From The Guru

Actually two comments out of many:

In an example of where our current public schooling system is taking us, we recently overheard a comment from a middle-aged woman to the effect that the Nips would not have attacked us at Pearl Harbor if it had not been that we hit them first with the A-bomb. (Honest to God!)

And:

It is time to remind ourselves again that O.J. Simpson and Lon Horiuchi are still running free as of now.

Someone Else's Thought For The Day

sms111 at Little Green Footballs wrote:

These leftist idiots are jealous of the Jews.

Leftists, your religion is dying. Its flame is going out in the universe.

Your obsession with a redemption myth and on a utopia that can never happen due to the animal nature of mankind, a nature that you naively refuse to understand, is bad enough.

Your willful recklessness towards dismantling and destroying the current society with little regard to what might replace it - which is most likely a totalitarian regime led by a madman that will kill tens or hundreds of millions, including you and your own families - is a sign of unadulterated mental derangement.

Your de facto alliances with, and apologetics for, the most brutal and oppressive movements on the face of the earth, and your sociopathic disregard for the mass injustice and the horrible deaths of 100 million people your enablement of monsters has already caused, is the final symptom of your madness.

Reasonable people are now being informed of the truth about your religion due to the stunning defeat of your mainstream media's lock-hold on information dissemination, a defeat led by the US-military-created Internet.

This will be your undoing as more reasonable people increase their political and, yes, physical resistance against you. Rathergate was just the very mild beginning.

Your secrets are out; your madness and stupidity exposed; you will not survive.

So Anyway

I just listened to about thirty seconds of Pat Boone doing a cover of Smoke On The Water.

Dude, God is the one who doesn't have the horns and the pitchfork.

Okay?

Revision at 7:10 PM:

Just heard his cover of Panama.

God is also not the really big thing with bat wings and tentacles drooping from his face.

I think he's got a point...

From today's Washington Times Inside the Ring:
Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, an author and terrorism analyst, says al Qaeda could execute a London-type train bombing "within 24" hours in the United States.
"But why attack here," Gen. McInerney said in an interview, "when you have leftists in America who have aided and abetted the enemy more than Tokyo Rose did in World War II? They don't need to set off bombs. If they set off bombs, they would silence the shrill of leftists in the United States."
Gen. McInerney says the July 7 London bombing was an attempt by Muslim militants to bring down Prime Minister Tony Blair and see him replaced by a left-wing Laborite who would pull troops out of Iraq.

Quote of the Day

Doctor Walter Williams writing at Capmag.com:

What Africa needs, foreign aid cannot deliver, and that's elimination of dictators and socialist regimes, establishment of political and economic freedom, rule of law and respect for individual rights. Until that happens, despite billions of dollars of foreign aid, Africa will remain a basket case.

Someone Else's Thought For The Day

Keith Thompson in Front Page Mag:

Listening to all this, my mind flashed on something a political science professor had said on an American election day many years earlier. The word "idiot" comes from the ancient Greek for those who concentrated solely on their own affairs and took no part in community life. Choosing not to vote, he said, was a decision to stay silent. People who made that choice couldn't consider themselves citizens in any meaningful sense. Was that what we wanted?

I tend to use the word "idiot" to denote individuals whose impact of on public affairs is obstructive or openly malevolent.

For example, anyone with a "repeal concealed carry" sticker on their car.

Thought for the Day

If one were dealing with an honest pacifist then their fundamental error is that he or she treats the state of peace as an absolute value without regard to conditions or consequences. Values are in fact conditional.

Peace is only an affirmative value to those who live in the condition of liberty, that is being rightfully in charge of one's self and able to set the goals for one's own life. Peace cannot be a value to the subjects of a totalitarian socialist state. To the victim of such a state -- the ordinary worker who is bullied by a commissar, the inmate of a slave labor camp, or the occupant of a darkened cell awaiting murder at the hands of the local chekists -- war, either an internal uprising against the socialist masters, or an invasion by an army of liberation, is in fact the positive value.

But if there is anything that I have noticed over the years, it is that most self-proclaimed pacifists are in fact also advocates of totalitarian socialism who have worked within our political system to prevent the overthrow of their Marxist brethren in other nations, and therefore are also accessories to the crimes of these Marxist states.

Isn't it about time that the self-styled peace movement be exposed and dealt with as such?

And Now For Something Completely Different

Aviation humor from Wicked Thoughts:

The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign Speedbird 206.
Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway."
Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven."
The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.
Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"
Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."
Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?"
Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark... and I didn't land."
