Lewinsky, Kaczynski, Challengeski

The Washington Post runs a weekly contest in its Style section called the 'Style Invitational.'

The requirements this week were to use the two words 'Lewinsky' (the Intern) and 'Kaczynski' (the Unabomber) in the same limerick. 

Third place:

There once was a girl named Lewinsky
Who played on a flute like Stravinsky
'Twas 'Hail to the Chief'
On this flute made of beef
That stole the front page from Kaczynski.

Second place:

Said Clinton to young Ms. Lewinsky,
We don't want to leave clues like Kaczynski,
Since you made such a mess,
Use the hem of your dress
And please wipe that stuff off your chinsky.

And the winning entry:

Lewinsky and Clinton have shown
What Kaczynski must surely have known,
That an intern is better
Than a bomb in a letter,
When deciding how best to be blown.

Missoula Children's Theater Calls for Beheading of Sarah Palin

Looks like the evil Right wing and Tea Party are at it again... I mean what is it about Sarah Palin that they fear so much? She's neither running for political office nor is she in political office yet for some reason, they are willing to show their true, violent way of thinking just to let everyone know how much they hate her. Really though... can anyone tell me what it is about her?

"
It looks like the 'civility' piously demanded by elitist moonbats in the wake of the Tucson Massacre has made it to Montana, where a citizen reacts to what he saw onstage at the Missoula Children's Theater:

Now, I realize you play to a mostly liberal audience in Missoula and so, I am sure, felt comfortable in your calling for the beheading of Sarah Palin. I am painfully aware that most in the audience tittered with laughter and clapped because 'no one would miss her' but there were some in your audience who took great offense to this 'uncivil tone' about another human being.

We are in the midst of a crisis that took place in Tucson where many started pointing fingers at that horrible right wing with all their hatred and targeting and standing for the second amendment and on and on and on. So, here we are in a lovely play with beautiful voices serenading us and we have to hear that it is okay to call for the killing of Sarah Palin because we don't like her and no one would miss her. Unbelievable.

As the Wall Street Journal points out, Missoula is hardly the only place the infantile yet condescending artsy-fartsy community indulges in inappropriate attacks on its perceived enemies in the culture war. The lectures we've been receiving from moonbats about civility in political discourse are like having to listen to a sty full of pigs grunt through dripping mouthfuls of slop about the need for better table manners.

Moonbat civility.

Emphatic opinions of the undereducated.

Let's face it- it's not easy being an ideologist- especially when you don't have all your facts straight. I'm a pretty spiritual person but I don't consider myself to be particularly religious. I recognize that organized religion is flawed and I get it that it's all written by men even if they insist that it at least includes the word of God. Of course, Islam insists that all of the Qur'an is the word of God and I'm in no position to refute that assertion.

That said, much of what I've read and heard rings true and I believe it. Of course, much of what I've heard and read sounds like it was written by someone or some group of people who did it "for the good of the people" and I take that with a grain of salt. Geniuses like Bill Maher would call me a "cherry picker" for having this belief and would ridicule me for not being a "true believer". Of course, half a breath later, he and people like him would ridicule me for being a "true believer" and for swallowing the story hook line and sinker. It's like there's a pattern in there somewhere. I wish I could see it.

Anyway, I was reading a blog this morning and thought I'd comment on a recent post. I'd link to the blog but I don't want to be accused of stealing bandwidth as has happened in the past. I'd comment directly on the post but I've been asked to promise not to post there anymore.

Catherine Beyer writes: Luciferianism hard to Distinguish from Satanism.

I periodically have received requests to cover Luciferianism on this site, particularly to show how it is different from Satanism.  The problem is that sources on Luciferianism are not terribly abundant, and often what I find, quite frankly, does describe traits that seem very much in line with Satanism.
If anyone knows of good sources for Luciferianism, particularly how it is separate from Satanism, I'd welcome the suggestions.

That's the problem. There must be 5,000 varieties of Christians. Can anyone tell me the difference between a Presbyterian and a Congregationalist?  Members of both groups are absolutely convinced that their religion is the correct one. And the same is true with devil worshippers. They all think their religion is the true one.
Beyer points us to a site about Luciferianism: The Society of Lucifer.

We Luciferians know that Luciferianism is not Satanism, but because of the confusion in our path we have allowed Satanism to creep in to pollute our path.  What I call Neo-Luciferianism mixes Satanism with Luciferianism, and I refer to the type promoted by Michael Ford. Many Satanists, and near all Christians, think Luciferianism is Satanism, and we have done little to counter that false idea.  I have written at length on this blog about the differences between Satanism and the Luciferian paths, but we need to create a clear boundary between the two paths, or be hijacked as another obscure Satanist path.

Indeed we do.

So, here we go again, I guess. Libs and other ideologists latch onto the idea of 100% participation with zeal and vigor. They do this glibly and blindly because I suspect it's just too much effort for them to deal in the facts and the truth.

"Members of both groups are absolutely convinced that their religion is the correct one. And the same is true with devil worshippers. They all think their religion is the true one."

The truth is that most religious people are not blind followers. Most are not convinced that their religion is the only correct religion. Furthermore, people without any belief in religion or God have little to no understanding of what people who believe in religion or God actually believe. Of course, they don't let that stop them. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but it sounds an awful lot like classic forms of bigotry.

Stereotypes are a big timesaver but bigotry is just blind hatred. There's a reasonable explanation for this type of behavior and I'll explain it in a future post.

Pretty Amazing Weapon

It's called, officially, the "XM25 Counter DefiladeTarget Engagement System." Let's say you were approaching an enemy hidden behind a wall or around a corner of a building, about 200 yards away. This grenade launcher will laser measure the exact distance to the target, and then you can program the grenade at what distance to detonate. Fire above the guy behind the wall, have the grenade go off 5 feet past him, and... problem solved. Amazing piece of technology to keep us ahead of the bad guys.

BTW, Defilade is defined as: "the arrangement of defensive fortifications to protect against enemy fire."

O’Reilly talks about what’s his name who got fired at MSNBC without mentioning what’s his name’s name

O’Reilly talks about what’s his name who got fired at MSNBC without mentioning what’s his name’s name: "

Bill O’Reilly took a few minutes to ruminate about The Olbermann Incident without mentioning his former competitor by name. Not once. And from Olbermann’s point of view, that’s probably the worst insult O’Reilly could have delivered.

“They took one of their guys out and then they’re moving everybody else around. Doesn’t matter who he is or why they took him out,” O’Reilly said. “[I] don’t want to get involved with any of that personal stuff.”

When he says they’re moving everybody else around, we’re pretty sure he means like deck chairs on the Titanic.

O’Reilly noted that MSNBC was ranked 28th overall in cable ratings, which he said demonstrated failure, especially considering the fact the network has the resources of NBC behind it.

“Sure, look — we know the double standard, but it is and we’ve accepted the double standard, Bernie and I have because we can’t do anything about it,” O’Reilly said. “Bernie left CBS. I left CBS. Now we are here at Fox News. But let me ask you this: When you read in the print press about all of this garbage and that’s what it is, this network with NBC’s resources behind it to be ranked 28th is a disgrace. That’s a failure. Now they could squeeze out a few million dollars of profit, I guess, but it’s a failure. But the Fox News Channel is a colossal success – colossal success. You never read that. I very rarely read that.”

Idiot liberals ... always doing good for the community

LANCASTER (AP) — It may sound like a bird-brained idea, but the mayor of Lancaster wants to brighten up the Mojave Desert city by broadcasting recorded bird songs.

R. Rex Parris proposed the idea during his State of the City talk on Monday.

The Antelope Valley Press says Parris wants to play the bird chatter from loudspeakers on Lancaster Boulevard. The mayor says there’s science to show that listening to birdsong makes people happier. More here:

See, this is the problem with idiot libs.  They want to inflict their ideas upon you ... whether you like it or not.  They always try to back up their actions by saying "science shows this is better for you" -- or some other such bullshit.  The bottom line?  Libs are always telling others what to do and when to do it. It's beyond their ability to leave other people alone.  They think they're such geniuses that they need to be in charge of everyone and everything.

It's also worth noting that they don't give a nanosecond of thought to squandering your money on whatever little pet project they dream up (today.)

I think they sent her up the bomb

A "Black Widow" suicide bomber planned a terrorist attack in central Moscow on New Year's Eve but was killed when an unexpected text message set off her bomb too early, according to Russian security sources.

The unnamed woman, who is thought to be part of the same group that struck Moscow's Domodedovo airport on Monday, intended to detonate a suicide belt near Red Square on New Year's Eve in an attack that could have killed hundreds.

Security sources believe a message from her mobile phone operator wishing her a happy new year received just hours before the planned attack triggered her suicide belt, killing her at a safe house. More here:

Yes, what a shame.  I sure hope she didn't kill any of her innocent "friends."

Sheesh. Not Evil Just Wrong is Wrong.

If you're not familiar with Not Evil Just Wrong, they're the outfit that went after Al Gore and his oscar-winning "An Inconvenient Truth" movie. I still give them props for that endeavor but this latest message from them severely erodes their credibility in my eyes.

EXCLUSIVE

SUNDANCE KID, ROBERT REDFORD EXPOSED AS HYPOCRITE

A new short film exposes Robert Redford campaigning against building eco-houses whilst quietly selling lots for luxury vacation homes.

Los Angeles, CA - AS THE Sundance Film Festival closes, its founder, Robert Redford, is accused of hypocrisy for opposing an eco-village near his property whilst quietly selling $2 million lots in the Sundance Preserve for luxury vacation homes.

Redford is one of the main opponents of a plan by the Pacific Union College to build an eco-village in Angwin California. The college says it needs the funds because of a dire financial situation.

The village is close to Redford’s vineyard in the Napa Valley. However whilst publicly opposing this development “to preserve the rural heritage” Redford has been quietly selling development lots in the Sundance Preserve for $2 million. These lots are intended for vacation homes close to Redford’s Sundance Ski Resort.

The double standard is revealed in a short film Robert Redford Hypocrite which has just been released.

Film director Ann McElhinney said the film is not criticising Redford for selling his property.

"It is great that in a recession Mr Redford can find so many buyers. I am delighted that those houses will be built, creating jobs and vitality in a remote area but it is shocking that Mr Redford would deny others similar opportunities to make a profit and create jobs."

The film’s co-director Phelim McAleer said the film was highlighting the double standards of so many celebrities and environmentalists.

"This is just another example of environmental elites telling the rest of us how and where we must live and what we are not allowed to do, but thinking that those rules don’t apply to themselves. Robert Redford has shown himself to be a hypocrite - plain and simple," said McAleer.

The film - released on YouTube - also shows how Redford has campaigned against "dirty fuels" and wants to end the use of oil whilst promoting flying by doing lucrative voice overs for a series of United Airlines commercials.

"Again Robert Redford has shown he has an appalling double standard. The rest of us must stop flying because of the environment but these restrictions don’t apply to him. He is somehow different," said McElhinney.

Robert Redford Hypocrite was produced and directed by Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer. They previously produced Not Evil Just Wrong, a documentary which took a sceptical look at Global Warming hysteria.

The duo also recently produced James Cameron Hypocrite which looks at the double standards of Avatar director James Cameron.

I did a little research on this because it sounded like a heavily biased report mostly due to the lack of hard facts in their argument. Well, I went to the Angwin Eco-Village website to see if there was more information and here's the plan they have in mind.

That's some "village" if you ask me.

The developer's website doesn't have much to say about it except that it plans "275 housing units and a 105-unit retirement/assisted living center on 30.1 acres of new development". I mean it's awfully coy to call that an "eco village" when it's actually high-density housing. Of course this isn't covered in this short film.

Like it or not, large, expensive homes do more to preserve "the rural heritage" of an area than high-density housing does.

Rachel Maddow is the worst kind of coward and gutless, sniveling worm.

"Having nothing to do with her politics, she is a gutless coward and I’ll tell you why. Because everybody knew what the situation was with Olbermann at MSNBC. We used to work there. Tom Bowman, who’s our producer, Elisha who’s one of our producers, they both worked with me at MSNBC. They left there to come with me, by the way, don’t look for any of Olbermann’s producers to go any place with him. However, so we all know people, we still know everybody who’s at MSNBC. So, everybody knew what was going on with Keith. Everybody knew what was going to happen to him. For this woman, who owed her job to him, she’s live there with Bill Maher, a lot of people watch that terribly influential program, not to offer a defense of Olbermann, in spite of what you think about Olbermann, is unconscionable.

It’s like when I got fired, Sean Hannity, who works for Fox, was defending me, and I didn’t think I should be defended, but that’s irrelevant. He works for Fox, he was defending me getting fired by MSNBC. Mike Francesca and Chris Russo nearly lost their jobs ’cause they worked for CBS, along with me, defended me on CBS. They told them to stop doing it, they refused. No, she’s awful. She’s the worst kind of coward and gutless, sniveling worm. Oh God, horrible."

But why the wig?

If you tell someone to stop pushing, the next step is NOT to jump off the swing at its highest point.

‘Sputnik Moment?’ Obama Doesn’t Get It

President Obama declared last night that we are now in the midst of a “Sputnik moment.” Trouble is Obama doesn’t have a world-view or a grasp of history to understand what that really means.

Sputnik grew out of the profound belief that the Soviet Union had shot ahead of us in the space race and that this was a direct challenge to American supremacy. As the Washington Times points out, this was not some abstract exercise in education investment. It grew out of a belief that (a) the Soviet Union presented a serious threat to the American way of life, (b) technological prowess, no, superiority, was an essential component of national greatness and (c) America was #1 and should remain #1. it is pretty easy to believe that if Obama had been in politics in 1957, he would not have embraced any of those beliefs. Indeed, today, he finds it hard to call our “enemies” enemies, does not believe that America is “exceptional” any more than Great Britain or Greece is “exceptional,” nor does he believe in the notion of national greatness.

Obama using the “Sputnik moment” line is more about advancing his domestic spending agenda than it is about meeting America’s global challenges. Like the Soviet satellite named Sputnik, Obama’s ideas need to be shot out into space.

Tuesday "Taste?"

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not afraid to try new foods. I am no Andrew Zimmern - I am not going to eat a bug or a guinea pig, no matter how expertly prepared. But I am not afraid of offal, or some other odd part of an animal that usually gets tossed.
About six months ago I decided I wanted to taste Haggis, a Scottish delicacy. Being of Scotch descent, and loving Scotch whisky, it seemed like a perfect fit.
So after some research, I found a company that makes (almost) traditional Haggis in the US. It is made with the same spices and recipe as used in Scotland but the meat mixture is a bit different. It turns out that our government forbids the importation or use of animal lungs for human consumption. Thanks, food police. Lungs might taste good - it's not like the sheep are chain-smoking.
It's quite expensive, and the size upon delivery is disappointing, but so goes the pursuit of odd foods.
January 25th is "Robbie Burns Day", the traditional day to prepare Haggis, so that was my plan.
I prepared the appropriate accompaniments, tatties and bashed neeps, which I cooked at home. The Beaner did not want the Haggis cooked at home due to some irrational smell fears (actually it was forbidden). So, the Haggis was cooked at work. The only things I changed - I didn't put nutmeg in the tatties, and I used Yukon gold potatoes instead of regular Russets.
The Haggis was boiled as per directions, and was hot much quicker than the hour proscribed.
The Klown was invited but had prior commitments. So it was up to me, my boss "K", and our boss "BJ" to savor the meal.
Consensus - it was delicious. No overt smell, very mild almost nutty flavor, and not reeking of anything livery or organ meat type odors. It's an odd texture, not as solid as a sausage, but holds together - maybe like scrapple or liver mush. Combined with mashed potatoes and buttery turnips - what's not to like?
I shall have it again, and I am no longer afraid of another "weird" food. Neither should you be.

In all honesty, there was one contrarian. "K"'s dog Gracie wanted no part of the Haggis, and she will eat absolutely ANYTHING.

HERETIC! BLASPHEMER! WITCH!

Just give us a little more of your freedom (and money)

LITTLE ROCK (AP) — Lawmakers in at least two states are looking to pull the plug on texting pedestrians and iPod-obsessed runners, claiming their diverted attention borders on disaster.

After targeting drivers who paid more attention to their phone calls and text messages than the road, lawmakers in Arkansas and New York are now looking to crack down on pedestrians equally distracted by their own electronic gadgets.

Lawmakers in both states have proposed restrictions on using cellphones and music players such as iPods by people running and walking on the street or sidewalk. The apparent message: Distracted pedestrians are dangerous. More here:

Yes ... I think the American people are waking up to this nonsense.  That's right, dumbasses, we're coming for you.  One by one at election time we're disposing of you like used Kleenex.   Say goodbye, freedom-stealing shitstains.

Hey, Dippy McDipshit, get a clue, willya

Ok, I can't take it anymore, the time has come.  As much as I'd prefer to ignore these "dumbasses of the future," I'd better go ahead and get this over with.

The other day I'm in the grocery store and I hear some guy next to me start talking "should I get the 2% or the skim?" So I turn to see who the hell is asking me stupid questions and he's looking at a package of cottage cheese or sour cream or something ... and he totally ignores the fact that I had turned to respond to him and continues his conversation with his wife (or boyfriend, or whatever.)

And it occurred to me that this was part of the "charm" of the whole thing for him.  You see, he was in the process of "educating" the masses. For FAR too long we've taken for granted that when someone starts talking and we're the only one in range of their voice, they're probably talking to us and looking for a response.  And, if you're an aware person you will give them the courtesy of a response.

Not any longer though cuz "ha, dumbass ... you were WRONG to assume ... in your FACE."

Anyway, yes, it continued on and on for every little item in the area ... CRUCIAL conversation doncha know. Hey, dumbass, better call the President while you're at it and give him the weather report for the DC area. Because your being on the phone and inflicting yourself on society is the MOST important thing in the whole world. Never mind all that "manners stuff" your parents tried to teach you, it's all out the window now because the world revolves around you.  Hey, why take the grocery list with you when you can leave it at home and use technology to make things easier on yourself.  You know, if by "easier on yourself" you mean make a phone call instead of glancing at the list ... I tell ya, geniuses can really exploit technology can't they?

I can see that I'm going to have to do something about this whole situation because the problem seems to be growing. When I first saw it I thought that only total morons would participate and that peer pressure would contain any possible "outbreak." Obviously, I was wrong. I have severely underestimated the idiot-percentage of the population. I forgot something else too ... libs idiots don't suffer the emotion of humiliation ... so even if their peers tried to pressure them, it doesn't work on the socially unaware.

Ok, I'm taking suggestions. Send this around to your friends and let's see if we can't get some good ideas ... cuz I gotta tell ya ... the only thing that's jumping to mind right now is spraying their ass with water when they aren't looking and then hiding the water gun real quick. It's obvious that won't work but that's my line of thinking right now.
