I've got a history book sitting on the shelf
I haven't looked at in far too long.
I keep hearing about how Israel is infringing on historically moslem land, and that they (the Jews) don't belong there.
This book is several hundred pages long- at least. It has alot to say about how the Jews lived, and names names of the towns they lived in. You see these cities, towns and territories a lot lately in the news.
The thing it doesn't mention is the ones claiming the land that the Jews have held historically, the moslems aren't mentioned at all- really, since theirpedephile profet prophet didn't create his sect untill 7 centuries had passed after the second part of my history book was written.
If you have any interest in where my history book places the Jews, you can look here, or maybe you have one you haven't looked at in too long also- up on your shelf somewhere.
AND as a note to my Liberal visitors, that book describes evolution in BunnyTime. Just remember, next time a subspecies of three die off, it's not pollution, it's evolution!

Blogroll update
I've added and subtracted from my blogroll.
Sorry, I can't remember who all I added, so no links in this post, you'll have to look.
Alot of the new ones are on the bottom of the list. I didn't put them there, though.
Something about their site won't tell Blogrolling that the've posted. I don't know enough about the internet to tellyou what to do, just wanted y'all to know that Blogrolling has an update form, if you're interested.
Maybe you don't have a Blogroll account? If you do, and it's not upating, sorry, you stay at the bottom- I'm not geek enough to figure out how to get you auto-updated.

Another view on Innocent Civilian Targets in Lebanon
We've all heard about Israel "intentionally targeting" civilian infrastructure in Gaza and Lebanon, right?
Ohhh the humanity......
There IS another way to look at it, one that you'll (probably) never see in the Legacy media- that of Israel. I look at Gaza as an armed, hostile enemy camp. I have pretty much since it dawned on me that no matter what Carter, Ford, Reagan, Clinton or Bush did- that they'd ALWAYS end up gladly sending their own children to blow up busses and schools just to start up the cr@p all over again.
Any way, back to Lebanon.
I'd like to remind y'all that wayyyy back at the start of all this, Israel dropped fliers telling civilians to evacuate for their own safety. I know it's been a week, and Americans have a REALLY short term memory- but it did happen. Really. Israel did tell them to get out.
Contrary to the MSM's anti-Semitic views, here is a view from the those who got tired of being on the receiving end of Islamic terror:
...Morally equivocation, since they believe Israel is targeting civilian targets, there is no moral difference between what they and Hezbollah are doing. Let me make is a little clearer to the dense out there.
Israel is NOT targeting civilian infrastructure. You might be referring to the Beirut airport. A little fyi on the rules of war. Once a civilian structure is being used for military purposes, it is no longer civilian. Hezbollah has repeatedly used the airport to receive weapons, ammunition, and strategic materials. They may have also attempted to use the airport to transport the kidnapped soldiers. Therefore, the airport is a legitimate military target.
Hezbollah has been using the roads and bridges connecting Lebanon to Damascus and north-south Lebanon roads to also transport weapons and goods from Syria, and there was positive intelligence that Hezbollah was planning to transfer the kidnapped soldiers from Lebanon to Iran via Syria. Therefore, the roads are legitimate military targets, not civilian infrastructures.
Making the claim that Israel is targeting civilian infrastructure would be the same as accusing the Allied Forces, during WWII, of targeting civilian infrastructure when they bombed German rail-road tracks. On one hand, the tracks were being used for civilian purposes. On the other hand, the German and Nazi forces were using the tracks to transport weapons, supplies, food, and other strategic material to forces on the front. Making the claim that this was targeting civilian infrastructure is ridiculous.
-snip-
... They are bombing Hezbollah headquarters in southern Beirut. Those headquarters are also in violation of international law since Hezbollah is a recognized terrorist organization, and their headquarters are purposely in the middle of a densely populated civilian center in order to use surounding civilians as human shields and ensure more civilian casualties. Most of these buildings have also been enlarged over the years in order to store stock-piles, meeting the above condition of a legitimate military target.
HAMAS, Islamic Jihad, and Fatah have learned this lesson very well and violate these laws every day as they run through crowded streets with rockets and hold children's hands as they fire Kassams at Israel, knowing that the IAF won't fire at them as long there are children or any other civilians in the vicinity. There is no such thing as sanctity of life to these "people". It is groups like Hezbollah, HAMAS, Islamic Jihad, etc. that are responsible for the death and injury of their fellow citizens as they purposely choose to use them as pawns, PR fodder, and human shields for their cause. Civilian casualties are 100% guaranteed, even with all the precautions the Israelis use to prevent them, when your enemy is running, sleeping, and fighting amongst that civilian population. It is guaranteed when your enemy digs tunnels to transport terrorists and weapons, and when the entrance to the tunnel starts under the bed of a 5 year old boy. It is guaranteed when you fire rockets from some house's backyard while children play not 5 feet away from you in the yard of the house next door.
Hezbollah has also designated southern Lebanon as their state within a state, autonomous from Lebanese control. Therefore, the entire area of southern Lebanon is a legitimate military target, and any civilians who refuse to evacuate the area on IDF warnings, rather choosing to aid and abett Hezbollah forces are aiding terrorists and are no longer non-combatants. The ports, airport, and fuel tanks are perfectly legitimate military targets, as they have have been used by Hezbollah to receive weapons, goods, and other strategic materials. ...
As far as the Americans there, I can't understand WHY they'd choose to spend their money in a semi-terrorist state. It's good that they're being evacuated. They're going to be charged for their evacuation. Tough-chit, ask for a refund from the people who brought you over.
Except that that's one of those 'fine print' things, you know- an act of war. I can see a lot of lawyers getting new yachts out of this one.

A one word denial of diplomacy
Ace has a brilliant aswer to those Communistic Liberal Peaceniks who would never think of using military force:
Diplomacy is a powerful tool. But it has one key weakness.
The word "No."
As in--
"Stop making nuclear weapons." -- "No."
"Stop firing long-range missiles." -- "No."
"Stop funding terrorists." -- "No."
"Stop killing and kidnapping Israelis." -- "No."
It is baffling to me that Democrats are unaware that, for all the incredible power of diplomacy, all diplomatic efforts can be entirely rebuffed with a single syllable word.
When Democrats are asked what to do about countries which keep saying "No" in response to our diplomacy, they invariably offer one strategy: More diplomacy!
Unaware, I guess, that every country, no matter how poor, has an endless supply of the natural resource known as the word "No."
That about sums up what's going on in the Mid-east right now.
What they fail to realize is, that you can't reason with a dog, he needs immediate "negative reinforcement".
And in a somewhat related update---The PLO just proved that they Just. Don't. Learn.
They killed another Isreali soldier in Gaza. And they're cheering.
How can you reason with animals like that?

Ehud Olmert
I'd like to take this opportunity to try to nip another lie bit of misinformation from the MSM in the bud.
It's been bandied about by some, that Olmert has "No previous military leadership experience".
Although he wasn't a general Officer in the IDF, he was a combat infantry officer and a military correspondent for the IDF journal Bamachane.
The reason I'm bringing this up is that I'm beginning to see more of thoselies misinformation coming from the usual terrorist apologists. I've also heard (sorry no link) comparisons to Bush's *yawn* nonexistent military service..
There was however, no mention of the war hero Bill Clinton in that chickenhawk article.
Also, I guess the meme about "America's economy is going to collapse because of three soldiers- and triple the gas prices!" isn't gaining much traction since I heard it early Sat morning.

Factoids from the U.K.
First let me say that I'm proud to announce that I've corrupted Karens mind, so that she thinks more like an American than a Brit! That's a good thing.
Them: Ummmm, why?
Her- You can hold their feet to the fire, make them do something.
Them- What if they don't?
Her- Then vote them out.
Them- Wah? That's not done. If we do that then the other party will win.
Her- So? You vote for the person with the ideas that you believe in.
She thanked me for rescuing her, even though she didn't realize then that she needed rescuing.
- Now she knows what I ment when I told her that driving in England was like driving through a tunnel (narrow twisting roads blocked by 10' high hedgrows.
- She's looking the wrong way when crossing the street.
- They (the extended family) went out to eat, and the biggest steak they offered was 8oz.- at a premium price.
- During a discussion of politics (they're sounding more European/communist) they were complaining about the immigrants.
Them: Ummmm, why?

- One brother didn't vote- and she fell down then by not telling him to shaddup and quit complaining- since he let others choose.
- Our Air Conditioners work!
- Fuel doesn't cost almost $6/ gallon for diesel.
- Real portions of meat!
- Space.
- Less crowding.
- Real showers.
- FoxNews- theirs is even more leftist than CNN and CBS.
- Broadband.
She thanked me for rescuing her, even though she didn't realize then that she needed rescuing.

As ye sow, so shall you reap
Mildred, the Church gossip and self-appointed arbiter of the local congregation's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business. Several members of the congregation were ... unappreciative ... of her activities, but, as the old saying goes, to fight a rumour is to give it strength: and so they remained uneasily silent, wary always of giving her a pretext to focus on them.
Came the day when Mildred happened to see a new member's pickup truck parked all afternoon in front of the town's one and only bar. At once she accused George of being an alcoholic. After all, she claimed, everyone seeing the truck there would know exactly what he was doing.
George was a man of few words. Faced with her accusations, he stared at her for a few moments, and then just silently walked away. He didn't explain, defend, or deny. He said nothing at all.
However, later that evening, George quietly parked his pickup truck in front of Mildred's house ... and left it there all night.

THIS sounds interesting. I wonder if it would be worthwile to build one, and could civilians use it? I wonder what kind of permits you'd need?
Also touching on law enforcement, Officer Opie was lonely last night. I was jst comming into Castroville, and had slowed down to the upcomming speed limit when saw a flash of black and white behind a cluster of mailboxes. As soon as I saw that, the lights came on. After I pulled over and waited for him to drive up. I asked why he pulled me over, I KNOW I wasn't speeding. I had one licence plate light out, and the other one didn't light the plate as bright as he wanted it. I got a fix-it ticket.
Karen's home today!!!
Seems she's become to Americanised to appreciate the soggy weather over in the 'old sod', where people are crowded to gether like rabbits, and the dollar doesn't buy as much as she's used to.

Looks like the new color is red
I've been noticing a lot of redheaded spokes-babes in TV commercials lately.
I have absolutely no problem with that.
BUT. . .
If you're going to go from black to auburn, you REALLY need to do something with those huge black catrepillars above your eyes.
Really. It ruins the illusion.
Trust me on this.
As much as those TV commercials cost, you'd think someone might say something.
I'm nometrosexual fashion consultant, or anything but I can see something that doesn't belong.

I'm no
I'm not going into the Israel against the sea of hatred right now
What I'm wondering is where are the cries of CENSORSHIP!!! agains the media in dropping Ann Cooulter from their editorial page? Even Editor &Publisher the liberal mover and shaker of the publishing world isn't bothered by this 'censorship'.
Anyone who has the faintest intrest in politics knows that Ann isn't a lightning rod, she's a Tesla coil of anti-Leftism. I don't have a dog in this fight, I like to read Ann taking the fight to the Left. I also like the way she makes the MSM pay attention to our views although sometimes she's accused of 'hatemongering'.
We had a universety cancel the NYT after they sold us out again on the GWT here in San ANtonio, and the local and vocal 'freedom advocates' were screeming about censorship.
It wasn't censorship then, and it's not now. In both cases the information is freely available, it's just not where you're used to getting it.
The usual Liberal hypocracy is searingly loud in it's silence on The Gazette of Cedar Rapids.

My that certainly was quick
You'd think that the same people who urge restraint on anything America is for would maybe wait a day or two before using the UN Security Council to try condemning Israel's well deserved b*tch slapping of her tormenters.
We're still waiting on the Iran nuke thing, have been for months. And The Norks? Lets "dialogue" before we do anything rash.
Israel is going after two legitimate governments who attacked her -repeatedly-, and is going to get slapped by Islamo-dictiphiles.
I just hope that we hear D.C tell Israel "go git 'em- we got your back".
We all know that's too un-PC for modern-day America.

Here are three links- if you didn't have them already for color codes.
These are called the Named Colors.

and last are the Websafe and Reallysafe Palettes. since they have more than 3 letters/numerals- I'm not sure they'd work on Blogger.

Whoa! Even the UN condemned the Paleostinians
"The United Nations representative to southern Lebanon, Gier Pedersen, condemned Hezbollah’s capture of the Israeli soldiers and said it “escalates the already tense situation."
Ok, it's not as blatantlyl forceful as they are against thIsraelis, but it's a start.
See, if you haven't heard by nowHezbollah came out of Lebanon and kidnapped two Israeli soldiers. (I'm giving you Rednecks' link because it goes to the NYT)
hezobllah, one of the parties that control's lLebanon.
One sovereignen nation.
Which attacked another.
Another act of war.
Which the UN and the rest of the "civilized" world generally downplay or ignore.
UPDATE- I just unf*cked bloggers "spell check" after seeing what it did when publishing. I guess that's OK because Google is in charge, and knows better how to edit a conservative blog better than I do.
Because they *care* more, and are smarter than us conservatives who actually take time to envision what our actions might have down the line,,,instead of just realizing how it makes "US" feel- no matter how it affects those we "helped".

And here I thought the Brits were having a change of heart
on their socialistic gun laws.
because I saw the word Parliment.
Yep, typical AnglocentricYank American.
It looks like the Gun NAZIs are alive and well in
South Africa.
A group of gun owners, unhappy about the proposed Firearms Control Amendment Bill, have protested outside parliament in disapproval of the law which they say will take away the citizens' right to protect themselves from criminals.
The Firearms Control Amendment Bill has been met with both stiff opposition and approval from many quarters.
So, these gungrabbing Libs want to take away everyones right to own a gun.
.....Oooops, my bad.
Should have read all the way through the article, because it's not so much aboutstealing regulating their guns as it is about accessories.
The protesters also objected to numerous proposed changes in the law such as that owners of certain firearms must be in possession of a competency certificate and the prohibition of silencers.
"We have explained to parliament that silencers serve an important purpose in terms of health and safety in that they offer additional hearing protection on shooting ranges to shooters and bystanders," said Van Wyk.
However, some believe that the new bill, which among other things, seeks to regulate the period of licences held by firearms dealers and owners, is lenient as it no longer limits dealers' stock.
Ok, now where did I put that pic of Rosanna Anna Dana?

Mirriam has a good idea
To send a message to terrorist appologists.
She wants to boycott the NYT on Sept 17th.
I suggested that we move it to Sept 11- to maybe help them see a connection- if they can. Then I thought why just the NYT? WHy not ALL papers and mags that are appologists for terror? I could probably think of ten right off the top of my head.

How to pass a drug test
For the guy who's doing a blogserach---
Stop doing them.
And don't do them anymore.
I had to fire a friend in the City Gas Dept. when he got popped on a DOT random.

I heard something on the radio last night
But I was too tired to look some numbers on childrens injuries caused by firearms. You remember the "ASK" thing in Pediatritians offices?
I came on some interesting numbers from the CDC. Your official government stats. These stats are generally for children 14 and under.
last night this morning:
Having a gun in your home, especially if it is not stored properly, can be a significant risk factor for injury and death in children. In fact, firearm related injuries are a leading cause of death in children, and include deaths from unintentional injuries, homicide and suicide.
Between 1994 and 1998, 6,287 children committed suicide with a firearm and an additional 1,896 children were killed by unintentional gun injuries in the United States. All together, 23,776 children under age 19 died from a gun related injury during these years, which is equal to 13 children a day. (source: CDC National Injury Mortality Statistics)
Now we're going from the "up to 14" catagory to 18+ years old,and including ALL injuries for ALL young adults- including the gangbangers who INTEND to shoot other kids.
-snip-
It is estimated that there are guns in half of all of the homes in the United States. Although most of these guns are purchased for safety reasons, it is important to keep in mind that a firearm in the home is much more likely (up to 43 times more likely in some reports) to kill or injure a family member or friend than an intruder. According to your CDC stats we oughtta git rid of our dawgs, too
Because of the number of injuries from guns, which many say has reached epidemic levels, programs have been developed to educate parents and children about gun safety. These include the Eddie Eagle gun safety program from the National Rifle Association, which educates children who find a gun to 'Stop! Don't Touch. Leave the Area. Tell an Adult.' The American Academy of Pediatrics also has a 'Keep Your Family Safe from Firearm Injury' program that educates parents about gun safety and advises 'the safest thing is to not have a gun in your home, especially not a handgun.' Epidemic? Like the Bird flu? Everybody, go up and reread thos CDC stats agin, then reread his numbers.
-snip-
As the American Academy of Pediatrics states in their book, 'Injury Prevention and Control for Children and Youth,' the 'risks of hangun ownership outweight the benefits.' If you have children in your house, then consider getting rid of your guns. If you must have a gun in the house, then at least learn to store it properly.
Mine ARE properly stored, ThankYouVeryMuch.
First off, the girls have absolutly NO interest in them.
Secondly., they wouldn't know HOW to even start loading the Black Powder ones, and
Third, the Taurus is locked.
I came on some interesting numbers from the CDC. Your official government stats. These stats are generally for children 14 and under.
- Child Maltreatment- 2002 estimates 906,000 in some form or the other
- Child passenger restraint- How about 214,00 injured and 1638 killed
- Fireworks- 9,300 went to the emergency room
- Playground injuries- More than 200,000 yearly
- Poisoning- How does 2.2 million in 2000 sound?
- Traumatic brain injuries- an estimated 474,685 yearly
- Drownings and near drownings-3,306 in 2003 with five times that many treated.
- Teen drivers- 2 out of 5 teen deaths are here.
- Youth violence-# In 2004, more than 750,000 young people ages 10 to 24 were treated in emergency departments for injuries sustained due to violence (CDC 2006).~AND~ In 2003, 5,570 young people ages 10 to 24 were murdered—an average of 15 each day. Of these victims, 82% were killed with firearms (CDC 2006).
- How about Dogs?- 4.7 milliom bites per year

At least I'm not French
Your Inner European is Irish! |
 Sprited and boisterous! You drink everyone under the table. |
American Cities That Best Fit You: |
| 80% Austin |
| 75% Denver |
| 75% Las Vegas |
| 65% Atlanta |
| 65% Honolulu |
That's good anyway
You Passed 8th Grade Science |
 Congratulations, you got 7/8 correct! |
Musta been that neutron thing..
I expected better out of FoxNews
I have it on in the background, listening to the coverage of the explosion over there. They just told the world that Natural Gas sinks, and could be a cause of the explosion.
Just to let you jounalists know- not that it could save lives or property- Natural gas is lighter than air (it floats) but propane is heavier.
Both have an unmistakable odor that is introduced before delivery for use.
Now, before everyone starts panicking because the gave *gasp* gas in their house, here are some facts that probably will get lost in the hype:
UPDATE- someone's getting sued. Fox just said the neighbors called the Gas Dept 7 times over the weekend reporting the smell of gas. I don't know about NYC, but in Texas we take that seriously. Any leak that is inside an active building is classified as a "grade 1" leak, and must be migitated immediately. This can involve fixing the leak, shutting off the gas including evacuating and venting the building.
I see several of jobs open in the NCY gas department , if anyone's interested. Probably ranging from the leak crew on up.
UPDATE TO THE UPDATE...Looks like it might have been a suicide attempt.

Now, before everyone starts panicking because the gave *gasp* gas in their house, here are some facts that probably will get lost in the hype:
- In order to burn (or explode) the concentration needs to be within the range of 4.5% and 14.5% gas in air. Any more or any less and you can light matches all day long with nothing happening.
- In order to ignite, the source needs to be around 1200 F (more or less- it's been a while). A light switch is smack-dab in the middle of the heat range.
- You can't tell how concentrated the gas is from smell.

How do y'all like my new dress?
I'm still tweeking it....
And I lost Haloscan.
So we have a brand new look, but he same content. Well it works for Madison Ave., maybe it'll work here ; New flashy packaging- same crappy product,,, at a new price, too.
Ohhh, and I'm adding Rivr Dog to the blogroll.

Gun pr0n
It is based on the 1858 .44 Remington revolver with an 18" barrel and loads the same as a Black powder revolver.
Here are the specs:
Grooves:7
Twist: Left
Total length: 35¼"
Total weight: 4.4 Lbs
Price $455
I was going to start an online store to sell loading stands and pistol display stands, so I could buy that toy.
I saw a caution about it, and it dawned on me that like any other cap and ball revolver- you don't want your hands in front of the cylinder when you're firing it.
There is a remote possibility that there could be a chain fire, and you don't want a hand in the line of any of the chambers.
I just have a hard time imagining holding and steadying a rifle at the trigger guard.
Oh, and the almost $500 price makes it even less tempting.
I did come up with a new (different) template for this blog, so all wasn't lost. I'll be showing off my new dress soon.

Some praise for Bill Clinton
Ok not a lot, but I have to give credit where credit is due (That's what you do when you grow up - Libs). I dislike most of what he stood for, and the example he (and his apologists) set for the 90's generation.
I will give him credit for having the cajones to send a message with a couple cruise missiles.
His motives weren't exactly pure, but he didn't waste time on *yawn* endless and meaningless international 'dialogue'.

So, did the Spampire collapse?
Have you seen the news out if Nigeria?
Nigeria is cutting thousands of jobs.
Ok, they're not spammers, just guvimment workers who.....ahemmmmm......
Are unqualified for their jobs. They're finally getting around to fireing them after most of them were hired in 1988. Chit, two more years and they'd be able to retire.

OK, now listen up
Bono . Needs our help, he needs answers.
He wants to know "What can we do to make poverty history?",
Yours, actually- I gave already.
He's got some good answers already;
BRAD T says: Make rich liberals give up their material goods in the name of socialism which they are always beating us over the heads with.
How is it possible that rich whiney liberals live in the same city as extremely poor people? Am I the only one who understands this contradiction?
Problem solved
JAWN K says: Maybe rich white singers in far off lands should sell their mansions, limos, and clothes, get off their narcissistic trip and give it all to the poor.
Hard to believe people like that bono guy live in a million dollar mansion and has the gaul to lecture all of us about poverty. People like him and Paul Simon are white-guilters who want attention. When these people sell their mansions and go live here (see link) then I will donate a few bucks. Otherwise, it's do as I say, not as I do, hypocrisy!
AZHEELSHOCK lets' Bono have it: Start in Somalia, Bono. I'd like to see you walk those streets that have no name...oh yeah, but they are covered with the blood of innocent women and children. Do something about that! See how far your fame gets you in the face of a tyrannical warlord.
Those were in the minoity, though. Most of the answers were pretty much on the Liberal page that boiled down to "send more money"
He's got over 20,500 answers in about 20 hours.

North Korean missles
All I've got to say about that is that there ought to be some big smoking holes where the launchers used to be.
Negotiations won't do any good. He'll play the world until he gets what he wants, then we play the game all over again.
And again.
And again.
....Untill someone gets tired of it.
Now, will Iran get the same pass?
Or will we just let them nuke Isreal just once or twice before doing something?
