"Moderate" mooslimbs, please take note
This is how you show displeasure with your extremists.
Reaction to Phred Phelps Phobic Protests at cemetaries:
It's about time.
"Moderate" Islamists please note the lack of flames, gunfire and free flowing blood.
. . . Also the lack of chreographed "DEATH TO,,,(ummm-whoever)!!" chants.
I do, however hope you DO take note of the show of distain for something most Americans hold for this kind of behavior.
You, too can show your displeasure with your extremists--IF you want to.
H/T to Gawfer, and I guess it's old according to Roberts' comments.

More proof that Americans have too little to worry about.
Quick and easy Christmas gifts, all you need are CD cases. (or would that be cheap and cheesy?)
At last Video conversion downloads. Maybe NOW I can do something with the Nikon videos?
Naked sunbathers via Google Earth.
Global warming hurricane predictions..... oops- maybe next year we'll get it right.
We need to do *something* about the quagmire in Iraq- If that's your criteria, lets look at the death rate of Americans caused by Illegals.

I used to drive OTR
And I noticed that it seemed like the more leftist/Liberal the state was, the worse the roads were.
Texas, Wyoming, Oklahoma-Good roads.
Louisiana, Cali, New Jersy, New York, Mich., Minn.- Roads in .....not so great shape.
Now I see this nude "pothole" calender from Canada with canoes in their potholes. (SFW)
That pretty much verifies my Liberal=bad infrastructure theory.

Liberalism explained
If you don't think I'm right- just think about all the pro-abortion arguments.
Incest, abuse,pedophilia (oops, sorry NAMBLA), and all the rest of the excuses they make to hide bad decisions.
I've always thought that Most Libs I've seen on TV and read on ALGores internet were,,,,well basically rebellious teens in adult bodies with college vocabularies. They throw out ideas and accusations with (it seems) no anticipation of the end result.
I have teens. I was a teen ager. I know how absolute and unrealistic some of their ideas are. It took me going into boot camp to realize that I didn't know the answers to everything just because I had an answer to it and that there were usually reasons for answers without a question.
Gun control? OMG, they'll start shooting whenever someone pisses them off!!!!
What scares me most is the arbitrary nature of self-defense. What line must be crossed to signal to you that there is imminent danger or threat? Is it a criminal pulling a gun on you? In which case, unless you're a gunslinger, you're not going to outdraw him. Is it someone pulling a knife? Threatening words? Bad language or rude gestures? Where is that one point where you decide, "Yes, my life or the life of my loved ones is in danger and I must now take it upon myself to take the life of another person." What if the guy is reaching into his jacket, and you are sure, absolutely certain that it is a weapon. You pull your gun and shoot--and see he's reaching for his wallet. Or worse, you miss and hit a child running in the street. Where is that line?
~snip~
I understand completely that you have the best of intentions, the best training, the best gun money can buy, and the best reasons in the world to want to defend yourself. But I'm sorry, I don't have insight into your character from my vantage point and I can't assume you can be trusted with a gun any more than I can assume you're not going to attack me anyway without a gun.
Drugs.
Infidelity.
How about this explanation?
Projection concerns externalizing the issues that we need to deal with ourselves. Usually we project onto others issues and problems that we need to address within ourselves, or are unable to manage properly. Projection is irresponsible behavior as we dump our problem onto somebody else. We justify these projections by blaming someone or something outside for the emotions we do not want to feel. We project our disappointments and problems onto other people, it is somehow their fault, we become a blamer. Ultimately it is the person who projects that loses, as they never really sort out their own problems.
You've seen parents raging at their children demanding they meet requirements the parent has failed to achieve themselves. This is projection. The parent trains the child to do all the negative behaviors the parent has repressed for a lifetime. If the parent has a problem with addiction they will rage at the child until the child becomes addicted too. They see their own behavior mirrored back in the child and then rage against their own projection trying to get the child to change what they are not yet willing change and face in themselves. We try to change everything outside us when we are not willing to go inside and do the work we need to do to change ourselves. You see this with so called progressives. They try to change everything in the world rather than do their own inner work.

Does anybody recognize this?
No, don't cheat and jump down to the body.
I'll give you some stats on it.
When issued its battle sites were set at about 546 yards.
It was reissued during WWII.
It is a .30 cal weapon, with a revised ammo designation that was changed when the ammunition was made a little hotter- back in 1906.
Is that better?
Overall length is 43.20 inches, unloaded weight was 8 lbs-11 oz. The barrel is 24 inches and has a
According to this site, it was made in 1942.
(link is fixed)
But, according to the barrel it was made in July of 1944.
OK, it's a 1903 A3 Springfield in what appears to be - really good condition.
After looking, I think the stock is a replacement, because it doesn't have any factory markings on it.

The 18 yr-old had a visit from the recruiter yesterday
The Army recruiter.
She and her friend were thinking od going in under the "Buddy program".
Both of them took a practice ADVAP test.
All of a sudden reality is starting to slap both of them in the face.
Neither of them would have gotten above 35 on the real test.
As a measurement I use is that I scored 85 on mine.
They needed a 50 to get their Vet. MOS. So then they decided to check out the M.P.'s- be cause one girl couldn't handle giving a dog a thermometer up the butt.
OK, they're pretty clueless teens- that's life.
I'll let them make their own mistakes- the Army has plenty of experience in re-assigning inappropriate people.
The recruiter was here for about two hours. One thing that caught my attention was the "New and Improved" General orders.
I seem top remember that there was 5 or 7 general orders of a sentry.
She mentioned the THREE general orders.
When did they downgrade the basic tenants of the military?
I was under the impression that we had the best and brightest enlisting?
I guess we all need to lower our standards to accomodate those that live in these times,,,THREE general orders...??????

I question the timing
Here we have an ex-general telling a Spanish paper that Rumsfield authorized the Abu-Graib 'torture'.
I'd think that if it were true, it would have, and should have been exposed back in 2004 when everything was boiling.
-OR-
It should have been made public last month to do the most harm to BushCo.
But then again, maybe ex-General Janis Karpinski was as lackadasical in her personal calender as she was in enforcing military discipline in her unit assigned to guard the prisoners in Abu-Graib.

I wonder if he even knew the word before he sounded it out
See, 50cent (some drug thug)is "appalled" that James Bond can show a gun on a poster, but a gangbanging rapper who glorifies anti-social behavior can't.
Gee, I just can't see WHY anyone would have a problem with seeing an advocate for the total breakdown of civilized behavior with a gun. Showing inluencialble (is that a word?) youth and immature adults that it's ok to solve *ANY* problem with violence.
Oh, and he wants Hollywood to do their Liberal thing and adopt a "Zero tolerance" policy on showing ALL guns on movie advertizments.

HEY BILLY
You can stop YELLING on your OxyClean commercials.
Really!
I have My volume down for a reason- I *don't* need your yelling about yoursnake oil wonder product.
I can hear the Tv just fine where my sound is set.
Did you usta sell used cars? Just curious because I think I'd trust you as much as a used car salesman.
I don't know how much extra it costs to double my volume on your TV ads, but believe me-You're not making any friends at my house (or on the internet it looks like).

I hope that you stuffed yourselves well.
I hope you have plenty of white bread and Miracle Whip For those turkey sammiches.
Now- just in case you haven't been to Wallyworld in the past two months, it's time to think about Christmas.
And what would Christmas be without animatronic window displays?
How about a Kola doing the deed with a Wombat in a department store window down in Oz? (SFW- sort of)
Actually it was just one of those unforseen engineering mishaps. You know, those guys who went to collage for 4+ years and didn't take into account the movement affect on a makeshift connector.

Something else to be thankful for
The ability to HAVE the ability to take "Firm, resilient female flesh bravely resisting the recoil of heavy caliber weaponry..." for granted.
I'm sorry -really
But I just CAN'T get all worked-up about the impending fall of the Lebanese facade of a government.
I know, I know- at least it was a stabilizing influence over there.
I have a sneaking suspicion- given the history, that the ONLY way they'll get a stable government will be from Syria.
They gave Hiz b'Allah a veto over anything going on there. Syria has had their fingers in the pie for so long that there isn't any crust left.
As for the so-called Democratic movement over there last year?
Those people over there wouldn't recognize Democracy if they stepped in it up to their armpits.
They're actively opposed to the ONLY Democratic government in the region.
Tell me again- why should I care? Just keep sending Israel the tools to keep those terrorists on the fastlane to paradise.

I just gownloaded IE7
Can't say I'm very impressed.
In order to load it, I had to turn off all mu internet protection.
Now, the masters at Microsoft won't let me customize the top bars like I want.
I can't hide the tool bar, but I CAN hide the navigator bar. I'd rather move the toolbar into the navigation bar and get rid of half an inch of useless Micocrap on top of my screen.
Must be that pesky free will thing that only the Head Liberals feel only they need.
THEY know better than I do about how I want my computer to work, so I should b happy they allow me to buy their stuff.
Right?
(UPDATE 11-21-06 2:35AM)
I just uninstalled IE7 because I couldn't get it customized ,or how to work the way I wanted. I finally got those annoying tabs to hide, but never could find a way to get rid of those stooopid "favorites" stars.
OR to hid that bottom bar.
I just hope that Vistas isn't as f*cked up as Explorer 7.

Ummmmm...........
First the serious scientific story.
They're going to sink and document the ecological benefits of a whale carcass.
Yep, science at it's best.
Confronted with a rotting whale carcass on the beach in 1970, officials in Florence, Ore., hauled in 20 cases of dynamite and lit the fuse.
The resulting rain of blubber chunks smashed a car a quarter-mile away, sent onlookers fleeing for cover and yielded one of the Internet's most side-splitting video clips.
Biologists at the University of Washington's Friday Harbor Laboratories have a better idea for disposing of a 54-foot fin whale that turned up dead in the Port of Everett earlier this month.
They plan to attach 3 tons of metal railroad wheels to the corpse and sink it off the coast of San Juan Island.
But because these are scientists, that's just the beginning of the story.
The real goal is to study the whale's decomposition at a level of detail that would make most people gag.
Using an underwater drone equipped with a video camera, the researchers will document the types of fish, crabs and other creatures that feed on the carcass, and the role it plays as a food bonanza in the marine ecosystem. Divers will also visit the site for an up-close view of the putrefaction.
Now for the good part:
Including this tongue twister "The blast blasted blubber beyond all believable bounds".

Craigslist has been sued
If you're not familiar with craigslist, it's basically an online classifieds site.
there is probably one near you no matter where you are.
If you have then bookmarked, you'll notice the international sign of the Liberal as their icon (a peace sign).
Anyway, some-even more Liberal Liberals were suing them for discrimination in their self policed ads in Chi-town.
See, craigslist doesn't charge for ads, or even -really censor them. That's left to the veiwing public. If something is deemed objectionable, then it's flagged and looked at more closely.
This unfounded suit was the result of such 'exclusionary' terms as:
. While craigslist takes fair housing issues very seriously, and we want to do everything we can to assist our users in promoting fair housing for everyone, the 100 ads cited were a little surprising. Some were roommate ads involving constitutionally protected speech and the right to free association, such as "prefer christian roommate", or were ads containing incidental and harmless remarks such as "near St Gertrude's church," and "Buddhist temple nearby." Others simply celebrated the diversity and tolerance of the local community ("vibrant southwest Hispanic neighborhood offering great classical Mexican culture, restaurants, and businesses"), or sought to appeal to some groups without excluding anyone ("Great apartment for graduate students, married couple, or small family"). And for a few it is difficult to determine what protected classification is at issue ("wants one nice quiet person").
Like it's been asked before. Once you start down that slippery slope, how do you stop? It's better to not get the sled moving at all, instead lets move our ideas with all the deliberation of inching the ship-of-civilization out if the drydock on her new mission.
As craigslist goes on to (unwittingly, I'm sure) affirm the very essence of the Liberal state:
Though possibly well-intentioned, this lawsuit ignores the essential nature of craigslist, demanding that we cease treating our users with trust and respect, and instead impose inappropriate, mistake-prone, and generally counter-productive centralized controls (such as manual review by our staff of the nearly 2 million free housing ads of unlimited length posted each month, a volume of ads greater than that received by all US newspapers combined), controls which would actually be less effective in catching discriminatory ads than what we have in place currently, and which would vastly reduce the number of legitimate non-discriminatory ads that the site could process.
Overreaching further, the suit demands that craigslist proactively volunteer personal information about posters who post a discriminatory preference (e.g. "church next door") to regulatory authorities for prosecution, without subpoena or warrant -- clearly a violation of privacy rights, this demand may actually run counter to federal law governing the handling of user information.
Ya know, they get it, but they can't admit that they "get-it".
Because that would somehow ,,,tarnish their humanistic insincts.

Yes,I 'm training her well
Karen and I went to San Antonio this morning looking to see if there were any trees worth buying to replace the Crape Myrtles that the Leafcutter ants killed.
We stopped into Sportsman's Warehouse to buy some felt wads for the Colt ( they don't carry them in .44).
As we were passing the gun counter, she told me we needed to get a Winchester for the house.
Because this is Texas and we *should* have one.
YES!
I love my wife!!!
Actually, I think she had something like this more in mind than a bright shiney new one

Hondo, Texas
The only city in Texas where a minor cross street takes precedence over a state highway.
I can garrantee that if you see a car at an intersection with a traffic light, the highway traffic will have a longer stop than the crossroad.

This is sooo wrong
On multiple levels-
I got this *11* thing in my mail today (or last week? It's one of those extra mailboxes).
I don't know ALL of what's wrong with it but my BS detector is going off right now.
I'll paste it and add my two cents as we go.
Subject: Fwd: Number 11
Try this, Coincidence? make up your own mind.
The Secret behind the number 11 -
Read to the bottom. Try it out. It is unreal.
If you are a sceptical person - still read on as it's actually very
interesting!!
1) New York City has 11 letters [But it's official name is New York, New York= 14 *OR* Da City= 6]
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters. [Ok, I'm sure lots of _____stans have 11 letters, too]
3) Ramsin Yuseb has 11 letters. (The terrorist who threatened to destroy
the Twin Towers in 1993)[BUT- it depends on how you spell it]
4) George W Bush has 11 letters. [And *W* only has one]
This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets interesting:
1) New York is the 11th state.
2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.[Remember this flight number]
3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11 [does that include the hijackers? If the hijackers weren't counted, the number wouldn't BE 11, would it?]
4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. 6+5 =
11 [ditto the above. And if that didn't work, we can always add the flight crew -as needed]
5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 =11[and 9 x1 x1=9, so?]
6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911.
9 + 1 + 1 = 11
Sheer coincidence..?! Read on.
1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254.
2 + 5 + 4 = 11. [So are we including the flight crew this time? What about the hijackers?]
2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year.[OUR calender- islamists use a different one]
Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11. [OR 2 x5 x4= 40]
3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.[more number manipulation fun]
4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.
Now this is where things get totally eerie:
The most recognized symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the
Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Koran, the Islamic holy book:
"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The
wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah while some
of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the
Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace."
That verse is number 9.11 of the Koran. [Of WHICH version?]
Unconvinced about all of this Still ..?!
Try this and see how you feel afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:
Open Microsoft Word and do the following:
1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first plane to
hit one of the Twin Towers. [Remember the flight number I told you to remember? It was 11]
2. Highlight the Q33 NY.
3. Change the font size to 48.
4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS 1
What do you think now?!!
I think it's as big a stretch as someone wasting an entire day trying to figure out how to fold a $5 bill to somewhat resemble the twin towers.
I got this *11* thing in my mail today (or last week? It's one of those extra mailboxes).
I don't know ALL of what's wrong with it but my BS detector is going off right now.
I'll paste it and add my two cents as we go.
Subject: Fwd: Number 11
Try this, Coincidence? make up your own mind.
The Secret behind the number 11 -
Read to the bottom. Try it out. It is unreal.
If you are a sceptical person - still read on as it's actually very
interesting!!
1) New York City has 11 letters [But it's official name is New York, New York= 14 *OR* Da City= 6]
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters. [Ok, I'm sure lots of _____stans have 11 letters, too]
3) Ramsin Yuseb has 11 letters. (The terrorist who threatened to destroy
the Twin Towers in 1993)[BUT- it depends on how you spell it]
4) George W Bush has 11 letters. [And *W* only has one]
This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets interesting:
1) New York is the 11th state.
2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.[Remember this flight number]
3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11 [does that include the hijackers? If the hijackers weren't counted, the number wouldn't BE 11, would it?]
4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. 6+5 =
11 [ditto the above. And if that didn't work, we can always add the flight crew -as needed]
5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 =11[and 9 x1 x1=9, so?]
6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911.
9 + 1 + 1 = 11

Big rule for motorcylists , , , BE SEEN
Maybe I need to rename this the Drivers-Ed blog?
Here are two articles about the same accident:
Motorcyclist killed doing stunt with non-graphic pics.
Motorcyclist not at fault, friends say
With this insightful quote:
Castaneda said Brown was such an experienced driver that if he had attempted a wheelie, he would have made sure no one was in front of him.
Right- all the way up until the driver in the LEFT TURN LANE didn't see your dumb @ss with the headlight aimed at the sky.
Anybody that has ever ridden a motorcycle KNOWS that you're invisible to 4 wheelers at best-usually it seems that they're out to get you.

I'm missing something
It's something I've grown accustomed to hearing at the end of every election cycle for the last six years.
The allegations of
(UPDATE) 2:40PM- on the way to work-
Speaking of BusHitlerian plots. Do you think he manufactured the Democratic take-over just so he could pass his illegal amnesty/citizenship gift to his business buddies?
I wonder when THAT'LL pop up over at the D.U.
The allegations of
- Minority disenfranchisement
- Voter intimidation
- voter fraud
- voting in the wrong precinct
- The Jimmy Carter Center for fair and honest elections- sorry can't resist this blurb:
''Ever since then the Palestinian leaders -- Arafat and his successors -- have told me that when and if they have another election they want the Carter Center to be observing it," Carter said. ''I will be going out there two or three days in advance and we will have a total of 80 or 90 observers all over the place." (forgot where I found it- though)
- AND , most of all the KKKarl Rove/BusHaliburnton conspiracy theories.
