time to slap shit outa someone
Damn. Newsweek deserves all the contempt plus criminal charges for this batshit.
Newsweek says Koran desecration report is wrong
I don't know why ANYONE would ever subscribe to that gadawful rag. Back most of 40 years ago when I was attending lefty-U as an impressionable teen, that rag stuck out as pure crap. There's no reason to inflame the mindless followers of that piece of murder called the Koran, especially since OUR citizens get caught up it Newsweek's shit. Newsweek went waaaaay beyond anything resembling freedom of the press and should pay dearly for the shit they stirred up with a C
style document. Wonder if Dan Blather was a contributer as a "knowledgeble government source"?
Newsweek says Koran desecration report is wrong
By David Morgan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Newsweek magazine said on Sunday it erred in a May 9 report that U.S. interrogators desecrated the Koran at Guantanamo Bay, and apologized to the victims of deadly Muslim protests sparked by the article.
Editor Mark Whitaker said the magazine inaccurately reported that U.S. military investigators had confirmed that personnel at the detention facility in Cuba had flushed the Muslim holy book down the toilet.
The report sparked angry and violent protests across the Muslim world from
Afghanistan, where 16 were killed and more than 100 injured, to Pakistan to Indonesia to Gaza. In the past week it was condemned in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Malaysia and by the Arab League.
On Sunday, Afghan Muslim clerics threatened to call for a holy war against the United States.
"We regret that we got any part of our story wrong, and extend our sympathies to victims of the violence and to the U.S. soldiers caught in its midst," Whitaker wrote in the magazine's latest issue, due to appear on U.S. newsstands on Monday.
The weekly news magazine said in its May 23 edition that the information had come from a "knowledgeable government source" who told Newsweek that a military report on abuse at Guantanamo Bay said interrogators flushed at least one copy of the Koran down a toilet in a bid to make detainees talk.
But Newsweek said the source later told the magazine he could not be certain he had seen an account of the Koran incident in the military report and that it might have been in other investigative documents or drafts. (snip)

rather disconnected, lately rather normal
...all this political batshit being rattled around in all those empty lawyer/congresscritter suits (heads optional)... I read the stuff, put some of it in a can to comment about, can't come up with enough interest from me to fill a mouse nest. Scads of really good bloggers do. There's a couple of guys and a trio of gals that tend to live on this planet with observations that fit the circumstances but I'm a bit fussed they now do it for ad money. Bothersome. If I could write as well, maybe I'd do the same. I DO like the attitude of the few I kinda follow. They tend to be honest on top of being good writers.
My last week has been kinda like this except I didn't pull out in time. Had to do with picking off more than 40 ticks (lost count) Tuesday night and missing another dozen or so. Woke up Wednesday with them in my hair, beard, shorts, socks, armpits, & 'elsewhere', got to "enjoy" most of the days since by having a rather familiar delightful reaction. 53 years totally immune, come August, 2003, had the first bad reaction. Now I have sympathy for my friends that have avoided the bug-filled morasses I've so enjoyed all those previous years. THEY only itched. Living through another most-of-a-week alternating blanket-wrapped chills, sweats that soak everything, endless barfs with everything in the rapidly composting bod aching, sometimes all of those little annoyances at once, tends to dampen one's spirit a bit. Weren't very high to begin with. Didn't help it rained continually for 3 of those daze.
Today was kinda cool, first day w/o feeling bad vertigo and really needed to go into town for foodstuff for the critters. They prefer my cooking but at the quantity necessary for the rather large trio (OK, Abby's not that big yet but she eats twice as much as Cookie! ), I was running short of stove-top stuff. Besides, I acquire goodies for them from Spring until the first good freezes when the old wood burning cookstove gets to be a good idea, then retire my brew kettle to a winter of THE GOOD STUFF! Cannibal pot. Add stuff according to the critter cook-book, cool, then feed. Fat, sassy, sleek as otters (also totally spoiled). At one time I had 5 adult sheps and the dry feed was 666 x 5 pounds per year plus an estimated 1,500 pounds of homemade. Cheap to keep? They'll tend your infants, put up with almost infinite crap from kids (it's fun to watch!), keep your feet warm in the winter, munch what munches one's garden, then spend their spare time being your best friends. Far cheaper than living in wetback country w/o. I have no intention to add to the damage done prior. There are a couple of stories there, been informed NOT to post them. Thieving bastards. Rural areas now have homicide rates as bad as inner cities. I did a bit of checking on the DOJ stat site last year and found Lake City had a higher per capita homicide rate than Washington, DC. Not really surprizing considering the population base and main industry (welfare). Lots of millionaires. Lawyers of course. Got another few tales about a couple of those critters I knew quite well for many years. Fortunately my digestion has healed reasonably well. Personal "friends". Bloody monsters with hugh guilt problems. "How can we steal so much and get away with it?" Both are dead. One of them visited me twice a week in the lab, probably thinking rationality would rub off. Damn-near shot him one day. He threatened me with Chattahoochee. ...shoulda shot him then but my wife back then would have been upset. She liked him even if he never let anyone EVER meet his wife.
Well, went into the burg and elected to go to the flea market. Been quite a while but didn't expect much what with it being Mother's Day for those folk that have such to consider. Go read , nah forget it. His missive touched me, actually the combined one from yesterday AND today's touched me. Of course it isn't near the full story (could you write one and if you did, would YOU put it on a blog, even for money? I sure as hell wouldn't). I'll link it soon. Just not right now.
Digressive little critter, eh? ANYWAY, met 3 old friends there, 2 I'd kinda figured would not be returning to the 'souf. Instead of spending the half-hour I'd expected at the depopulated market, wound up spending well over 2 and would have camped there if circumstances would have allowed such. Yeah, it do get a bit lonely down in the swamp. I'm pretty used to it. Not near used enough to it to not enjoy the company of excellent folk! Mmmmmm!
Got my supplies, then went to Lowe's for pieces for the hydroponic expansion, one item (qty 4) wasn't on the list. Remembered it just before turning down the swamp road. Total price for the missed items under $2, time to go and return, >2 hours, fuel (driving the Ninamobile) ~ $2, probability of me doing it anytime soon, zero. I HATE driving into town. It's not even a bit entertaining. The only justification possible is a few items that have been on my grocery list for a couple of years and that's a few herbs and spices that can't be found other than the yuppie store that charges 3 prices but is usually just chock-full of eye candy. Lots of rich, fat, hideous lawyers in town married to SYT's that always shop there. Too bad my "hardbody" turned into a dawgbody a decade or two ago! Mmmmm! Old lawyers and old Florida real estate operators tend to have really good-lookin' honeys in their dotage. Aweful nice to look at! ;o)

Got a kick out of this little silly quiz, Which Horrible Affliction are you?. Mine fits.
Which Horrible Affliction are you?
A Rum and Monkey disease.
The tag links were left in. The second is kinda Twainish. I enjoyed it anyway.
This is news? 12398/KEV= Å. I thought everyone knew that.
Gamma Rays From Thunderstorms?
Maybe someday I'll set up a Tempest 4 Faraday shield and do a spectro of all the fun & games X + gamma folk in the lightning belt of the world get! Much fun when mega-amps and mega-volts whack into all sorts of stuff! The effect of the direct radiation is quite interesting and the results of the secondary emission is even more fun! The softer secondaries from gamma bombardment on various materials in some cases are a true treat. Endless doctorial thesis's are available for analyzing the above. Certain parts of various creatures made outa the stuff people are fare poorly at some wavelengths. Kinda like a sunburn but rather permanent. The direct wavelength(s) used in mammography are perturbing, even more-so with the effect of dental X-rays associated with cataract development.

30 years old, badly damaged in the '98 flood. The most wonderful of lovingkindness. One of the folk that occasionally reads this stuff will know what it's about.
Those that are proven to rape children deserve a public al Zark execution. Slobhogs (libs in general) that reject the death penality for the slime that do this shit mostly abort the kids they acquire by random fucking anyway. Damn, childhood is so wonderful! Whyfor do so many get treated so poorly?
Nice photo tomorrow. Or next post time. Never know.

Use of Insecticides Linked to Lasting Neurological Problems for Farmers
This was quite interesting. It's from the Telegraph, don't know if you'll have to register with this link, again, they have never spammed me so it's probably still cool to register. bugmenot is still there.

Isn't it fun to watch the airheads in action? Teddy the Swimmer's speach about Abu Grabass was a winner. Jeez, is it possible to retire that useless pile of America-hating pile of carbs? I read a fair amount of his "speech' off the Drudge report. No link. If you want to read crap, go find it. Drudge, same date as the Chernobyl meltdown (19 years ago), one year since the airheads went major media about a hillbilly chick with a former AK user on a dawg leash.
Kinda got a giggle when Dan Ratherknothead won the Peabody for "exposing" Abu Grabass. Soooo Howard Dean! (elliptical) Da plane boss, da plane! Sheesh. Why do "liberals" hate America so much? Jack Kennedy, bless his little corrupt soul, was far more free enterprise than George II. Jack would be dead meat if he was a nom dez daze. Yea, elliptical. Don't like it, don't read it. Teddy the Swimmer has more influence in American law than all of Reagan and the Bush's combined. Socialists always vote for MORE from "them". Sad. The republic has fallen, no chance of it being repaired.

Use of Insecticides Linked to Lasting Neurological Problems for Farmers
New research shows that farmers who used agricultural insecticides experienced increased neurological symptoms, even when they were no longer using the products. Data from18,782 North Carolina and Iowa farmers linked use of insecticides, including organophosphates and organochlorines, to reports of reoccurring headaches, fatigue, insomnia, dizziness, nausea, hand tremors, numbness and other neurological symptoms. Some of the insecticides addressed by the study are still on the market, but some, including DDT, have been banned or restricted.
These findings will be available online in April, and published in the June issue of Environmental Health Perspectives. The research is part of the ongoing Agricultural Health Study funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the National Cancer Institute, two of the National Institutes of Health, and the Environmental Protection Agency.

Robert Matthews investigates the debate over high-salt diets
We may no longer spend our weekends watching witches being ducked, but we still seem to need demons to vilify. Ageing crones with crooked noses have been replaced by multinational industries, hell-bent on doing us harm with everything from radioactive waste to dodgy silicone implants.
The latest hate figure is the global food industry, whose brews and potions are widely held to have turned millions of us into lard mountains. Fortunately, we can count on the Government's armies of Witchfinders General to protect us from the forces of evil, and last week one of its most diligent agents, the Food Standards Agency, scored a victory over that cabal of mass-poisoners known as the Salt Manufacturers' Association.
