All I had to do was finish this article to find it.
So, you get a Chinese couch with a lable translated from Chinese -using a Chinese translation program- and it has an offensive word in it.
And it was a mistake, that had already been corrected.
What do you do?
Huang said Kingsoft has worked to correct the translation error. In the 2007 version, typing "dark brown" in Chinese does not produce the racial slur in English. But if the offensive term is typed in English, the Chinese translation is "dark brown," he said.
Moore is consulting with a lawyer and wants compensation. Last week, she filed a report with the Ontario Human Rights Commission.
Commission spokeswoman Afroze Edwards said the case is in the initial stages and could take six months to two years to resolve.
Moore, 30, has three young children, and said the issue has taken a toll on her family.
"Something more has to be done. We don't just need a personal apology, but someone needs to own up to where these labels were made, and someone needs to apologize to all people of color," Moore said. "I had friends over from St. Lucia yesterday and they wouldn't sit on the couch."
Lady, you ought to try being a white male Christian- you're fair game for everyone and have no defenders.

This kinda hits home
I was going to post it on a comment over at Miriams blog- since she's heading to Ohio..
But this reminds me of what happened to my adopted hometown of Port Aransas...
Literally getting paved over, it's a fact of life, if yopu don't act to preserve something, it'll get washed away. By oil tankers heading to Corpus Christi.
,,,And it's Rush's theme...

I'm not a highly trained wordsmith
As anyone who reads this blog knows.
I DO know, however, that words mean things. Words describe things.
I'm just a crappy blogger who doesn't have the jornalism degree, or the vast resources to have an editor proof read a story.
I DO know the difference between a Zeppelin and a blimp.
I know they are not interchangable.
I know that to Al Reuters, they are one in the same.
I'm not surprised, really. Given the Legacy Medias' indifference to reporting the actual facts if it might counter theirpropiganda world view.
It's kind of like making the words Liberal and Communist interchangable, or linking Democrats and Socialists; which is much more accurate than making the link between Bush and the National Socialist party.
It's too early in the morning to get into the lack of ,,,,,,,,labeling.....in the last section, so I'll let you see what you think.
You have your marching orders. Go make your own mind up about Huey's crimefighting plan.

Two blisters, probably.
Her's a quick PSA for ya all.
When igniting and leting wood chunks (Mesquite) burn on to coals, and propping the grill part up.
Do NOT forget how long the railroad spike has been sticking into the fire.
do NOT lift the grill and grab the head part with your bare hand, you WILL scare the dog.
You Will swear.
Now back to your regularly scheduled inane cr@p.

Didja ever wonder
What happened to the prisoners at a certain widely known prison when the Americans left?
I'm not going to mention the name, because I've been having waaay too many of those titles that make you scramble for the back arrow.
Bullwinkle has the video on what the ex ...ummmm...toturees are doing now.
Just to let you know it's shot live on location, so the usual language warning kicks in.

Blogrolling
I did some housekeeping in the blogroll last night, and now it looks like it's stuck.
Again.
I guess that goes with the Blogger post that disappered when blogger decided I needed to re-sign in yesterday, to post my post. That I had written on the creat a post page.

"Quickly"???
You're serious?
I mean You've known about what's happening in Darfur for almost 5 years, and only now you're going to "quickly" start getting your chit together to try to get anAmerican armed force together to help the African Union?
Ban called the agreement "a very positive sign," and Konare said he was "delighted" that issues over the "heavy support package" had finally been resolved.
The secretary-general said the U.N. will consult with the Sudanese government and expects Khartoum "to urgently provide the land and other facilities necessary for the deployment of the heavy support package, including permission to explore for water," U.N. spokeswoman Michele Montas said.
Ban urged all countries to contribute troop and police quickly for Darfur, but it likely will take months before the U.N. contingent is on the ground because the U.N. has no standing army and must rely on the goodwill of its 192 member states.
Konare stressed that the African Union needs international funding to keep its troops in Darfur.
"Let's be honest, without any sustainable financing, all this operation might not be as successful as expected," he said.
Britain's U.N. Ambassador Emyr Jones Parry, the current Security Council president, said he sent a letter to the secretary-general late Monday on behalf of the council asking Ban to seek General Assembly approval to fund the U.N. share of the heavy support package.
But Guehenno, the U.N. undersecretary-general for peacekeeping, said the AU will also need help from donors because it will be "several months" before the heavy support package can deploy.
He said it is also "critical" that two additional African Union battalions arrive in Darfur quickly to help provide "a minimum of security" for deployment of the 3,000 U.N. peacekeepers. -My bolding
Good frigging grief- and these clowns want to control the world?
And Khartoum is, like part of the problem anyway, isn't it?
Seems like i remember something about them not doing anything to stop the Christian massacres when they first started, and then stonewalling when anyone even suggested they do something.
and the "extra security" from an almost benkrupt African Union, so they won't have to actually fire their weapons at armed men? Come on.
Well, I hpoe the unarmed Christians that have been on the recieving end of the U.N.snonhelp all these years know not to protest against the bribry and sexual abuse from the U.N. peacekeepers, since that's when they know to shoot for effect.

I keep reading about sanctuary cities
You know the ones who decide -by themselves- that they don't have to obey or enforce Federal laws?
The ones who aid and abet people who come here illegally and in their trail of crime also habitually engage in the Federal crime of identity theft, along with the usual overburdening state and Federal social services ment for LEGAL residents.
Ok, so WHY do they still recieve Federal tax money to keep running? If they decide that they're above enforcing the law, shouldn't they be required to give up the benefits of being under the protection of the same Federal Government that they're showing their @sses to?

ahhh,,,,, Blogger
It ate two of my posts today.
One of them was actually almost well written.
It was about Holocaust Rememberance day,
,,,And how absolutly nothing is going to change for the better.
Since the Anti-semetism is still alove and well and growing thanks to our Liberal friends.
The other was a throwaway post about being out of a job, with a bad shoulder.
Well I guess you get what you pay for.

This could be interesting
In not a good way.
Darth Sadr is ordering his minions to remove themselves from the Iraqi government.
Al-Sadr's ministers will "withdraw immediately from the Iraqi government and give the six Cabinet seats to the government, with the hope that they will be given to independents who represent the will of the people," said Nassar al-Rubaie, head of al-Sadr's bloc, reading a statement from the cleric.
OK, why?
He's upset that his terrorists are being killed and arrested by American and Iraqi troops, sure.
But why give up Cabinet seats?
Ahhh, taking their lessons in democracy from our Democrats, I see...
Al-Sadr's followers hold six positions in the 37-member Cabinet, and 30 seats in the 275-member parliament. Monday's order would affect only the Cabinet members.
"We will have a major role in working on a timetable in parliament. This will be our message to the government," al-Rubaie said. "Setting a timetable for the withdrawal will be done in parliament."
Other legislators said the withdrawal was likely to further destabilize al-Maliki's already shaky hold on power.
"The withdrawal will affect the performance of the government, and will weaken it," said Abdul-Karim al-Ouneizi, a Shiite legislator from the Dawa Party-Iraq Organization. Al-Ouneizi is from a different branch of the party al-Maliki heads.
One of the six, Saad Taha al-Hashimi, Iraq's minister of state for provincial affairs, sought to reassure supporters Monday that the Sadrists would remain influential.
"This does not mean the Sadrist movement will cease contributing to society," he told reporters. "The movement, as it always has, will remain in society and the government to offer what is best and to push forward the political process," al-Hashimi said.
Yep, Nancy- way to go! Show just how a democracy works when you want to actively make your country loose. I see they're even learning their talikng points about political process and contributing to society...just like all good America haters.
But still, why give up power?
Nancy must be chewing on her office carpet right about now...

Cooking aint science
Is it?
(I know,,,technically combining different ingredients to make a different one *is* science,,,,but not real science.)
We were going to try another new recipe for pork..because we don't belong to an 8th century repressive religion. Anyway, she looked at the recipe and followed the thing right down to using oil instead of lard like she usually does.
I asked her why she did the taters that way? She told me "that's what the recipe said."
I told her, it's not a chemistry project- it's a reccomendation. An idea about what to do.
She was adament- the recipe says what you- you do it.
That's her technical mind.
I use recipes as an idea of where to start.
What about you?

Dons wish
Looking back on when I
Said those nappy headed ho's
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my raise
Even though we sometimes
Would be getting Bling
We were happy with ol'
'Joy' that they would bring
Sneaking out the air waves
To hang out with those ragged friends of mine
Greeted at the back door
With "boy those 'ho's was just too outside"
Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop here
By kissin'in' Al's behind
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
Cause I called them ho's
Brother says he's tellin'
'Bout you dissin' all them ho's
Just let me give you
All the more attention in this whole wide world
Msn gives you money fory our shock jock ways
You loose yours for 'outrage' after it's thought through
I wish those days could come back once more
Where did those ho's ev-er go

The new line in racially acceptable speach.Do you like it?
I hope so because it's only going to get wider...
Ohhhh, and speaking of racism; did you know Handel was an anti-semite?
According to the NYT, this song prooves it.
Ok, am I a perv?
Or just a semi- good guesser?
I got 9 out of 10 right on this test.
Stolen from confabulator.
And ladies, maybe you could esplain this animation when you check him out.

So the howling mob got the monster

Looks like the chicken's coming home to roost
Ok, someone got the bright idea to tax alcohol and tobacco because it was bad for you, and almost nobody said anything.
Because if you did, you'd be in favor of people doing what was bad for them (yawn, ,,and others).
So we got the increasingly draconian Sin Tax on alcohol and tobacco, and other 'bad things'.
Guess what? Now they're going along a predictable branch of that path, in taxing unhealthy drink choices.
Like Sugary Soda Pop and chocolate. I know what'll be coming next..."Ohhh the poor can't afford that tax, and they don't know how to shop healthy", so drop the sugar tax and find a way to soak the richsome more.
It's a slippery slope, theseLiberals societal engineers are on; where do you draw the line on bad food, drink, expression (Imus/Hymytown Jackson), actions, or witch hunts , and the ever more blurry line of acceptable ,,,whatever?
Does it depend on race? Skin color? Some arbitrary dietitian with an axe to grind against some food she hates? The whiff of cigarette smoke, while some @sshole gets away with damaging everyones' hearing within a 5 block radius?

They're STILL getting my money?
I was looking at this article about the Liberal Anti-tolerance shown at the UTSA campus today.
Chris Simcox was speaking when the ever so tolerant Left was trying to shout him down with their everpresent lies and misrepresentations.
I didn't know the Klan was patrolling the borders back in the '70s? they musta got stuck in their robes, because there were so mant illegals here in the early 80's that Ronaldo Maximus made one of his few mistakes by giving them amnesty.
But anyway, as I was looking for the money quote I saw on TV, I saw this 'feel bad' article about the Nawlines sponges living in Texas being evicted because FEMA was late with their rent.
It's been, what? 18 months since Katrina?
And they're STILL not back on their feet? WTF is wrong with those people? Are they even working? How long are the taxpayers going to be squeezed to pay for those slackers?
I know I haven't had anything new, but ya don't really feel like posting after eating a chit sandwith, ya know....

Chelsea Clinton
Ya know, I'm going to have to stop with these turn-off titles.
I don't have a lot of people readin this blog anyway, don't need to send them running away in revulsion, too.
Anyway, I read about the smartest man and smartest woman *ever* to occupy the White House (and claim possesion of the furniture)
I knew she was pretty doggy during the White House years and wondered how time had changed her appearance.
According to this exerpt of Free Republic (from the NY Post)Chelsea
chic new look is turning heads. With her sleek, honey-blond coif and understated but deftly applied makeup, the former first daughter has undergone a dramatic transformation from bookish collegiate to soign‚e sophisticate - sparking rumors she had help from a plastic surgeon. Not so, counter a panel of insiders - who insist the 24-year-old's new urban-cool polish is the result of flattering makeup, soft golden highlights and a layered haircut that aspiring look-alikes have already christened "The Chelsea."
Ummmmm..."bookish collegiat"? I heard she majored in partying-till-you-powerpuke while at dads alma matre in England. Probably had the same kind of ,,,,ummmm...well the apple doen't fall far from the tree, does it?
Anyway, if you want to see her manly nipples you can clickum for bigum, or follow the comments of her adoring fans....
I just wonder which course had field trips involving wet teeshirts?

Alone in the house.
Alone, with no-one to see her, when the phone rings...
WHY is she answering the phone in a TOWEL in an EMPTY house?
We know that slutty Jan would walk around nekkid......
C'mon Chris,,,,,,

Darth Sader is calling (again) for the death to America.
Well, at least we agree on something- he wants his followers to come out of hidingand fight like men, so they can "throw the invaders out of the country." And get killed in the process.
Hey Darth, when did you get back from your terror capital? Last I heard you skittered off to hide in Iran.
Gawd, why didn't we get rid of that PoS way back when?
-Oh yeah, We don't want to make people dislike us, we want to fight a war without hurting anyone.

Y'all need to drop by Rhianna's
And let her know in her comments about your favorite 'Peeps' , 'Peeps' story, "peeps' peeps, and anything you can think of about how nice 'Peeps"are!
C'mon, Rhianna, don't be a hater...
C'mon, Rhianna, don't be a hater...
The MSM TV news...
Giving people what they want.
As I've said before, I don't think the "Evening News" has a responsibility to stuff its newscast with as much hard news as possible. We can get the news in a lot of places these days, and today's "Evening News" has every reason to experiment.
A willingness to shake free from the traditional nightly newscast formula can be a good thing, in fact – witness last week's cavalcade of cancer stories. The preponderance of animal stories this week, however, seems to fit with Neil Steinberg's argument that we are now seeing "the YouTube-ization of news."
That would be a movement towards news that favors arresting images over traditional stories; Steinberg warns that "we [could] wake up one day and Katie Couric is leading the 'CBS Evening News' with a video of a cat being set on fire.
~snip~
Is that such a tragedy? Not necessarily. As CBS News correspondent Thalia Assuras points out, "[p]eople love giant pandas," and the "Evening News" is simply giving them what they want – while also spending the majority of the broadcast on more serious news. Besides, it's not like the notion of showing cute animals on the news is new – a water skiing squirrel, for heaven's sake, made the news more than once back in the '80s and '90s.
If you want to give cute and cuddly pictures, there Thalia; sweater puppies are nice and soft and cuddly and inviting. You and Katie could give a nice audience appreciation appearance, and increase your cr@ppy ratings at the same time.
It's not like you actually report the *news*, or anything that isn't making a political talking point that might make people that you seriously.
---AND in other items not worth your prime time ...time, Prominent (and accurate) hurricane forecaster William Grey says the oceans will begin to cool over the next 5- 10 years. But nobody will notice because he's an ACTUAL meteorologist, not an over-hyped, pompous looser who's only accomplishment is putting warning labels on the albums of the people he's now brown-nosing.
So, ladies- the audience wants to see sweater puppies.
Cute.
Warm.
Soft.
Adorable.

I bet that's an interesting conversation
The great and presuasive Democrat Majority leader is doing the "Exellent!" tour of the Mullacrasticracy.
Two senarios I can envision:
1- Speaker Pelosi- Gentlemen, you need to take into account the 50% of your population that you are exploiting and discriminating against.
Saudi Mugawump- SHUT-UP woman! Where is your hajib?
-OR-
2- Speaker Pelosi- ...equality and discrimination...blah, blah, blah...illegal quagmire in Iraq...Bush is Hitler...Yadda, yadda, yadda... Womans rights and equality...no problem with sharia law- as long as it applies to others...
Saudi Mugawump- Thank you most powerful woman in BusHitler's government, we'll take your remarks under advisement.
(Nancy leave the Harem room)-
Saudi Mugawump- Allah, what a frigging airhead.
Nice rack, though, huh Hazz'am?
(UPDATE Fri. 2:10AM)
Michael Savage was going on about how brave N.P. was for making the sign of the Cross when she visited John the Baptist's ummmm...grave.
Sorry Michael, that Godless Liberal probably just did that through Pavlovian conditioning. It probably ment as much to her as returning a wave from someone she didn't know.

Just a quick note on the British kidnapees
I guess Margret Thatcher was the last Prime Minister with a pair of them. Huh?
Now we'll be seeing the Faulkland Islands being turned over to Argentina, because it isn't "proper" to keep them from theirrightful original owners- or some PC cr@p.
It Was 25 years ago that we watched the British navy fight their last battle.
Now they can't, or won't defend themselves against unprovolked attacks during the course of official duty.
I'm just wondering if the British tars will be bringing their obligatory King James Bibles (delivered to them by gloved hands) that they read from before they ate their "culturally correct" meals.
Good by John Bull, it was an honor to know you.
