Some things forgotten

I saw the clothespin-gun post at Blogmonicon and although I vaguely remember them I remembered something else from my younger days.

Did you know that a kitchen match, if fired from a BB gun will pop when it hits clothing (or a bony area)? Not that I'd have any firsthand knowledge of that, or anything...



And speaking of things coming out of the dangerous end of a gun, the Dissident frogman has some good tips for any of the Liberal news media that want to report on cartridges hitting an old hag's a frail elderly woman's house in Iraq.

Thanks microsoft

You're giving me more and more reasons to get a Mac next time.

As a PSA, don't install or add anything that needs WGA (Windows validation) until next week...sometime...maybe.

Somehow, the WGA sever is down, and if you try to activate anything, it'll mark your legitimate copy as a pirate:

For those of you doing installations and upgrades this weekend, we recommend that you avoid activation at this time. Remember that you can run Windows legally for 30 days without activating.

If you attempt a validation and it fails, your install may be marked as non-genuine, which could lead to several annoyances. First things first, do not reboot a Windows machine that has been marked as non-genuine. Once you do so, you will lose functionality and the Aero interface. It would be best to wait until this problem has been resolved.

Yep, do the right thing and your computer will only be good for a doorstop.

I'm glad Bill Gates is taking such a proactive approach to something that's been going on for several days now.
We wouldn't want to flood the news with information that could stop computers from going into brick mode,,,when people are doing what you require them to do.

I do have an idea,,,

But I'm sure someone's thought about a Baily bridge.

But that probably wouldn't be worth $27 mil.

Because, ya know..the same engineers that decided to do nothing about the brige in the first place wouldn't want to get something going that didn't cost taxpayers an arm and a leg.

Thanks to Lemuel for catching it.

Interesting concept

Drop a bunch of unsupervised teens and pre-teens off somwhere and see what happens.

c-BS was going to do a reality show about it:

The show, "Kid Nation," which is scheduled to premiere on CBS on Sept. 19, is a reality show whose premise is to take 40 children, ages 8 to 15, and place them in a "ghost town" in New Mexico to see if they can build a working society without the help of adults.

Yeah, we all *know* just how responsible most teens are.
I wonder if their parents had to sign some kind of release for their kids to be there?

But after the production ended in mid-May, the parent of one child in the production complained to state officials that the children's treatment bordered on abuse. Four children received medical treatment for accidentally drinking bleach, one child was burned on her face with hot grease while cooking in an unsupervised kitchen, and most of the children were required to work 14 hours or longer per day. They received a payment of $5,000 for their participation.
And money every time they re-run it, and the chance to work thier way up into *real* stardom.
I was in the Navy. I worked longer for less. So does almost every lower enlisted in the military.

TEST!

What are the Vegas odds

That she's already on her way back?

In case you didn't know, the Queen of all illegals got herself deported Sunday.

Now, all the illegals support groups are crying about her being separated from her little bastard son without a known father.

Who just happens to be an anchor baby. because some Liberal juror decided that the part of the 14th Amendment that was meant for ex-slaves needed to be used to push an anti-American agenda.
If she needs her son so badly, and the *race* wants their families to stay together, then deport them all.
Your spouse was/is illegal and you're helping them break the law- follow them back to their third world nation and learn to appreciate what it's like to BE an American.

Any of you ladies want to take a stab at answering this?

Ladies, I'm sorry

I know I've been kinda sexist here, but after viewing this, I've seen the light.










Well, actually not...
Because we all know that sensitivity training is a bunch of Bravo Sierra, and this is how sensitivity training SHOULD turn out like if people wouldn't be cowed into letting this PC cr@p make Libs rich be being payed to push this stuff on captive subjects.

Git in mah belly!

Who else would come to mind when you read this article about a Scotsman who ate $20,000 in one sitting?

How appropriate

For this arcticle about even *MORE* global warming!



I mean, c'mon-
"Today is a historic day," said Mark Serreze, a senior research scientist at the center. "This is the least sea ice we've ever seen in the satellite record and we have another month left to go in the melt season this year."

That's not even half an eyeblink in geologic time.
Not even a tic in modern history.

Two things on a semi related topic

As they both are about plastic.

First, I'm sure you've heard about the Mattel toy recall.
After reading the site, I wouldn't mind being a shareholder in 'Big Toy", and appreciat them being proactive in taking care of the problem.
I just wish we had someone to actually go to the source of some of our national problems like that and be able to force a recall of 20 million lawbreakers.

Second is the newest scary "New car smell is dangerous" story.
I had a post about it before. About a week before it was a national scare story- if I remember right.
Anyway, if it were soooo bad for you- why isn't the majority of the worlds population keeling over dead? Most people HAVE ridden in a brand spankin' new ride before.
It's just like secondhand smoke. Why only recentlyhas all this come up, and where are the stats showing in the 40's to mid 60's when *EVERYONE* was smoking weren't kids keeling over in death throws all the time?


Anyway, time to get on the road---there's a big storm in the gulf, hope you filled up before gas hits $4/ gal.

It's almost like the American ship of state will be rudderless.

The Left will be besides it's self, so you may as well just not even bother turning on the radio or TV for the next month and a half, because of the pre and followup gloating.

Not much happening here

We have a re-run of Ice road truckers on.

In this episode, TJ has to be airlifted to a hospital for emergency care.
(If you didn't click the link, they're in Canada.)

He got a bill for $12,000 in care and fees.
I thought Canada was, you know "free". Socialised medicine that we're supposed to copy.

I'm not even going to bother fisking this

Except to note that it doesn't mention our influx of disease carrying illegals from third world countries over the last 20 years.
And to mention the ever increasing trend of our blacks to live in the 'hood' with absolutely NO adult supervision or responsibility.

I read about the famous Mustang Ranch

In this article. Which naturally reminded me of this:

Walk on the wild side

Now we have concrete evidence of global warming

We have positive proof that melting ice caps can and DO, flood human habitats.

Melting ice caps have flooded a busy village along the British channel.

Except that this happened over 8,000 years ago.
Before the advent of overwhelming human populations polluting mother earth.

I wonder what AlGore has to say about that?

Added to the revised NASA temperature data that puts 5 of the hottest(recorded) ten years on earth before 1940, and only a score of years after the discovery of petroleum power.
But I'm sure the Legacy Media already made sure you knew that, right?

Score another one for the RACE! La Raza

Because they and their third world constituancy just caused another hospital to close.
Actually they weren't even mentioned in this AP article, but the underlying cause was most likely the burden that the hospital couldn't meet the Federal requirements.

LOS ANGELES - Federal regulators said Friday that they are pulling $200 million in funding from a troubled hospital that serves one of the city's poorest neighborhoods, forcing it to all but shut down.

The decision came after the county-run Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital failed two federal inspections.
At a news conference late Friday, Los Angeles County's chief medical officer told reporters that the hospital would close its emergency room Friday night and that patients would be moved to other hospitals within two weeks. The emergency room was closed at 7 p.m. Friday.

"We brought every resource to bear, but in the end it just wasn't enough, fast enough," Dr. Bruce Chernof said.

How about this answer?

Can someone answer me?

Why, am I the ONLY ONE one the road at quitting time who wants to go home?
I mean I want to at least drive the frigging SPEED LIMIT, not sit 10 cars behind some
JACK @SS doing 5 TO 10 mph BELOW the speed limit.
You know, pacing the guy in the slow lane and admiring the empty highway in front of you. Or, like the 2008 Suburban, jacking your jaw on a figging cell phone while going 25 in a 40 MPH city.

Gawd, I'm still pissed.
Being assigned to north San didn't help either. Everything takes longer because of either the rock, or the overgrown gardens- or both. It seems hotter up there, too.

I'm looking for a replacement work truck, and can't remember when GMC became the premiere truck of the GM stable. The Japanese trucks are just as expensive- if not more than the Union cost vehicles. I *know* for a fact that Toyota doesn't pay union wages to their labor force in San Antonio. So, is the extra price all profit?




Ohhh, Ford Ranger and Mazda's B series pick-ups are the same- Mazda costs about $500 more. A Ford/Mazda costs about $1500 more for the same trim level as the Chevy Colorado.

(UPDATE)
Can anyone tell me about the supposed tax break that everyone uses (according to the Greenies) to drive around in absolutely free (Tax break) SUV's?
Is that just for an "S" corp, or could I use it as a sub-contractor for a large nameless cable company?

I've been saying they were Commies

Now I have support fom someone who really knows.

Propaganda Redux
Take it from this old KGB hand: The left is abetting America's enemies with its intemperate attacks on President Bush.
BY ION MIHAI PACEPA
Tuesday, August 7, 2007 12:01 a.m. EDT

During last week's two-day summit, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown thanked President Bush for leading the global war on terror. Mr. Brown acknowledged "the debt the world owes to the U.S. for its leadership in this fight against international terrorism" and vowed to follow Winston Churchill's lead and make Britain's ties with America even stronger.

Mr. Brown's statements elicited anger from many of Mr. Bush's domestic detractors, who claim the president concocted the war on terror for personal gain. But as someone who escaped from communist Romania--with two death sentences on his head--in order to become a citizen of this great country, I have a hard time understanding why some of our top political leaders can dare in a time of war to call our commander in chief a "liar," a "deceiver" and a "fraud."

Good enough creds?

Now we see the parallels between the Communist propiganda and the Liberals echos:
Sowing the seeds of anti-Americanism by discrediting the American president was one of the main tasks of the Soviet-bloc intelligence community during the years I worked at its top levels. This same strategy is at work today, but it is regarded as bad manners to point out the Soviet parallels. For communists, only the leader counted, no matter the country, friend or foe. At home, they deified their own ruler--as to a certain extent still holds true in Russia. Abroad, they asserted that a fish starts smelling from the head, and they did everything in their power to make the head of the Free World stink.

The communist effort to generate hatred for the American president began soon after President Truman set up NATO and propelled the three Western occupation forces to unite their zones to form a new West German nation. We were tasked to take advantage of the reawakened patriotic feelings stirring in the European countries that had been subjugated by the Nazis, in order to shift their hatred for Hitler over into hatred for Truman--the leader of the new "occupation power." Western Europe was still grateful to the U.S. for having restored its freedom, but it had strong leftist movements that we secretly financed. They were like putty in our hands.

And the Lefts' Viet Nam policy?
During the Vietnam War we spread vitriolic stories around the world, pretending that America's presidents sent Genghis Khan-style barbarian soldiers to Vietnam who raped at random, taped electrical wires to human genitals, cut off limbs, blew up bodies and razed entire villages. Those weren't facts. They were our tales, but some seven million Americans ended up being convinced their own president, not communism, was the enemy. As Yuri Andropov, who conceived this dezinformatsiya war against the U.S., used to tell me, people are more willing to believe smut than holiness.

The final goal of our anti-American offensive was to discourage the U.S. from protecting the world against communist terrorism and expansion. Sadly, we succeeded. After U.S. forces precipitously pulled out of Vietnam, the victorious communists massacred some two million people in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Another million tried to escape, but many died in the attempt. This tragedy also created a credibility gap between America and the rest of the world, damaged the cohesion of American foreign policy, and poisoned domestic debate in the U.S.

Unfortunately, partisans today have taken a page from the old Soviet playbook. At the 2004 Democratic National Convention, for example, Bush critics continued our mud-slinging at America's commander in chief. One speaker, Martin O'Malley, now governor of Maryland, had earlier in the summer stated he was more worried about the actions of the Bush administration than about al Qaeda. . .


Ok, go read the rest!

Beth is a gold mine today, that's where I found our ex-KGB buddy at.

Here, we'd call that a dust devil

But up in 'Da City', thay call 111mph winds a tornado! (everybody panic!)

The National Weather Service confirmed that the storm brought with it Brooklyn's first ever tornado since such weather events were recorded. Officials measured it to be an EF2 twister, characterized by winds of anywhere from 111 to 135 miles per hour.

Between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m. a string of severe thunderstorms blew through the region, making for an incredible headache for morning commuters. Thousands of New Yorkers found themselves enduring hours of delays in the sweltering heat with subways shut down and vacant taxi cabs hard to come by.

Subways don't run in the rain? Aren't they like, underground and isolated from that weather stuff?

Oh, HI Erica!

Isn't it coming up on the second Katrina anniversary?

And ol' chocolateboy Nagin hasn't even gotten abandoned cars off the street yet.
Much less even trying to do ANYTHING except try to finagle more money out of the rest of Americas taxpayers.

Her — mainly the poor, elderly and infirm — are still sitting in FEMA trailers expecting the government to take care of them.
Naturally BusHitler isn't doing enough after steering Katrina right into the Big Easy.

Apples and oranges

Tonight, I guess there will be a home run record broken- sort of.
This new record will be set off with a huge asterisk because of the differing ideas the players had on winning.

Barry Bonds overtook Babe Ruths record the other night, but the only performance enhancing chemicals the bambino used were hot dogs and beer.
I bet Barry can't even name the cr@p he used.

The only dope Hank Aaron used came in a red and white can.

Ok, I bashed the Air Force the other day

.....Deservedly so... (I was stationes at Sheppard AFB), but now here's one for the Navy!
I don't think we've still lived THIS song down yet.






And yes, I was in CE-"A" school in Gulfport, Miss. shortly after this came out.
Just out of curiosity, any signalmen out there? Just wondering what they said with the flags???


And as a nod to the wife's country...
I DO notice the British Navy is made up entierly Officers,,,
I guess the enlisteds were busy dancing with the Capitains daughter on the gun deck for farting, or not showing the proper respect to a Middie's coat...
(Which is why we had that little dispute in 1812)
