ozone
I love ozone. The house and shop are wide open. Smells just fine. Doors and windows are open. The idiot Rimasaurus Toothamungus elected to go occupy the space she usually does under the horizontal file cabinet when it is either rainy, cold, or both. Is it cooler/warmer in here? Nah. Territory. Hers. Remind me not to worm her tomorrow (1st of the month, easy memory, 40 years. nope, not on the 22nd or some such. Normalized. Goats, sheep, cattle, horses, dawgs. The 1st. Did yer kid need a DPT booster? Is it the 1st?). Last time I did it she gained 20 pounds. All muscle. She's only 7/8ths shep, the rest is pit bull and those genes seem to have won the war. Huge chest, broad head, seriously fucked-up by her mother's murder during the '04 'canes. She is a much more gentle soul than her great-granny or granny.
A fun story about her and BB, the chow/wolf gal; yesterday afternoon I was unreeling the long extension cord to charge up Rustbucket's battery. My failure to generate income for the majority of last year has resulted in not being able to pay bills. The local Barney Fife isn't likely to appear to take my tag as it will expire 3 weeks after my insurance did and since I rarely poke a bumper across a hard road more than once a month, why bother? Not much out there these daze except hidious traffic and wetbacks that now are close to 30% of the local population. Rustbucket is to be sold, hopefully for enough to buy my old insurance policy back. $370/year, half mil coverage, under 500 miles per year driving. I logged 240 miles last year.
..back to the gals; I'd got the cord arranged such that any possible traffic (seriously unlikely, been known to happen) and BB came over. Her and Rima are kinda friends, BB tends to like killing and eating it on the spot, Rima prefers taking it back home. Wellll, the gals were doing the usual nose contact (girl dawgs don't sniff assholes. usually) whilst I was dragging the very old WA battery charger out. Opened Rustbucket's hood. A primarily black calico cat was on top of the air filter. She lept off to the non-dawg direction. ..was fun to watch. Young, strong canids looking for lunch. Damn glad I'm not on the menu! She went to ground under the shed. Both gals had no hackles up and both were too big to get into where 'lunch' was. BB staked out the SW corner, commenced to resting her more-teeth-than Rima has head on her paws with Rima ~4 feet away in shep-flop backup. I had another deed to do on my round toit and left laughing. BB is a natural born killer and has taught Rima a few things. That rangy calico was probably scouting the Rustbucket underhood as a birthing place. Those young canids just might have got a serious education about feral mama cat before that day was over! There is no critter more adapted for survival than that type of critter!
Kinda curious what eventually happened. I'd gone back to round toit #5 for the day, got delightfully interupped by a visit through the swamp, didn't finish until ~7:30. Rima had re-appeared around 6:15, her and BB probably gave it up or cleaned off the blood. Wolfies have infinite patience. Trust me on this. Infinite. My guess is the kitty-cat became snack food.

oh good lord, please tell me it's horseshit. I'm going to bed. Everything else is nominally resolved but THAT sucks big-time. ...to be read at 4:35 AM..

I know what you're drinking. Is it 94 percent alcohol, or just 92? Well, to tell you the truth, in all the inebriation, I kind of lost track myself. But being how this is a Bruichladdich, the most powerful whisky in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do you, drunk?

It seems that if the entire corn production of the United States was fermented and distilled to fuel grade ethanol, it would replace about 55 days of our gasoline requirements. The folk that think that's a good idea also kinda forget corn is a really heavy feeding crop, damn tough on soil, and the fertilizer is primarilarily synthesized out of natural gas. The fert and corn transport uses a lot of diesel juice. The tractors and combines, well, they need motion-lotion as well.
Is CH3CH2OH "green"? Lots of CO2 in the exhaust plus this little goodie:
I've brewed more than one carboy of beer. Sometimes the yeast will get real happy and blow the airlock off. The gas is the eeevilll CO2. Imagine fermenting the entire corn production of the US. Hell, I have a tough time even imagining Mr. _______'s field being fermented and he's only put in 200 acres this year.
* * * * * *
Is there actually a reason for this?
They all need a car
With Kyoto excluding Asia and Africa, of what use was it? How 'bout we ferment the corn, drink it, and all stay home? Drunks can't find the hole anyway.

My daze. Mostly don't make it to 10. Trying to play catchup from all the down time last year. Would have been a walk in the park 30 years ago. Wouldn't have been rough duty 20 years ago. These daze, my ass drags out my tracks!

I never told my own religion nor scrutinized that of another. I never attempted to make a convert, nor wished to change another's creed. I am satisfied that yours must be an excellent religion to have produced a life of such exemplary virtue and correctness. For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be judged.
- Thomas Jefferson
Sheesh. Can't help but just respect the hell out of those followers of the Religion of Pieces. Pit-i-ful.
...and some folk think it's a good idea to have a batch of them have their fingers in six of our largest seaports? I wouldn't trust that crew (followers of the prophet) with a shrimp boat dock.
Went to school with a big batch of Iranians back in 68-70. The Shah was doing a fine time of converting his patch of Persia into something less 7th century, had gigabucks of grease money, in '68 alone he's sent 25,000 students to the US unis for more with full scholarships. The kids were virtually indistinguisable from American kids, just as full of shit and the only major difference is the pride they had in their country which Palavi was converting from mud huts and superstition to one that was on it's way to being one of the finest in the world. Got to see lots and lots of photos from home. Made a fair number of friends, one because I lusted after his identical twin sisters that made Marlo Thomas look like a dog (!!), and a few others kinda due to me working my way through school via a telecommunication outfit that was modernizing Iran's long distance phone system. Kinda curious where all that fancy stuff was going.
Found a photo of self back then. Still have the tie (somewhere).
It didn't age well!
Of course we in the US elected Prez. Peanut. You know the sequence of events after THAT fubar.
Iran is just like any other country that is saturated in the Religion of Pieces. Given a chance, all that needs doing will get done to re-establish the Koran and Sharia. Theocrazies (sp deliberate) work so damn well if the population can be trained from birth that it's god's will one be a head-banger and if one is female, fagittabout being considered much higher than breeding stock. Why NOW hasn't been up in flames about the whole muslim thing is beyond me.
This kinda leads into Dubai controlling a bunch of US seaports. "Friends" occasionally, moonbat-crazy other times. We in the Western world live by the rule of law. Muslims do as well. It's called Sharia. Honesty with kaffirs isn't part of it other than the edict that no contract that doesn't support the prophet's word (as interpreted by the imams) is ever valid. We've handcuffed ourselves and continue to increase the pressure. They have The Book.

busy
So much to do, so little of meself to do it. Too bad cloning seems to not be a good idea so far!
De works, well, one does at least 12 hour days. Some are satisfactory, some, like yesterday, are the shits. I'm somewhat physically limited which, for the most part, means I can't do things with the comfort (read: ability) as I used to. Tend to have minor problems every now and then. Doesn't aggravate me anymore, I just install another rule in my operating system. However, when one does a task that has been just plain-old normal and due to a minor bio failure one winds up with a inch of 12 gauge galvanized steel buried between the 2 middle fingers of one's right hand, one has a problem with keeping the mouth closed (I did. It'd fuss the Rimasaur). After washing off all the blood when it quit, I gave stuff up for the day. Hot water and Epsom's until sleepytime. Third day, still have a tyrannosaur claw for a right hand. Kinda cute and it doesn't hurt unless I use it. Don't try picking yer nose with one of those fingers unless you are Jesse Jackson.
Hey, I had to do it. If I could shit in his hand and slap him on the back of the head I would. That sorry bastard has done more to wreck good feelings.. ..but he's doing it by "educating" his second generation into gummit servitude. I'll quit. ..grumble..
Did you catch this off of BaneRants? Hmmm. We got one of those cells down here as well. Not too fretful as it is quite throughly observed. Mostly Pakis, spend a lot of time killing each other. Doesn't get fussworthy unless they kill kids and ALL kids are basically the same before being trained to hate.
I get a chuckle out of the islamoshits. Southern Baptists with a really fucked-up attitude. Back in my youth (hay was being invented for Jesus's manger), the Southern Baptists in South Alabama forbid girls from wearing shorts (ALL of them did), forbid dancing (you missed some dandy times), s*x, ~shudder~ (behind the tent was cool, the hill behind the cemetary was better), however, daddy had a shotgun. Oh sweet jebus! Mostly we kept our jeans up. One (1) gal got knocked-up in my junior year, zero in my senior year. The Red Ball Truck Stop had a 25 cent machine which got a lot of use!
Of course if one was a islamoshit, all those gals would have to be either stoned to death or hung. Frankly, that'd be a terrible waste of good smooching! Just a personal thought from a feller what seriously considered becoming a pastor. Never make it as a priest. Do imams get more smooching?
* * * * * *
Been having a problem with supper from night-before-last. Wish it would finish coming up. Arrrg. Not good. Some things in cans should be left in cans. Right hand was kinda dicky, didn't want to cook a real meal. Mebbe should have used the can for target practice. Bend-over cramps, sit-down cramps, the gotta come-ups gets damn old in a hurry. Usual case of food poisioning. Been there before. Rarely fatal except for the desire to wash one's mouth out with a .38. (nope. Got to smooch a special girl some day and .38 breath doesn't play too well! ;o).
* * * * * *
Links. Scads. Later. The miseries are what have got me up time after time and the links, well, I've comments. Best saved for the moment.
Good news. The studio is "finished". Ready for occupancy after all these years. Of course I could continue forever doing doo-dads, that is inherited. $250 per month plus utilities. Bring yer dawg. Rigged for DSL. Full shop usage if you sign a waiver that I'm immune to you putting a severed finger in someone's chili. If you put one in mine, there is a nice place in the swamp I store people like you. Also, with work, got 3 greenhouses available. Sorry, you can't grow the herb. The new sheriff is kinda rough on that.

Lungfungus kinda sucks a lot
Been a few days. Didn't have much interesting to relate. Also been having another fit with the lung-fungus. The islamotards are doing islamotard stuff and the interest quotient is slightly under that of mashing a mole Rima dug up. The neverending pile of shit.
I posted this Winston Churchill bit something over a year ago and it has now been re-posted on the FR.
Either I had to do a search on the web or in my archives or on this site to get the full article or tell you to do it . You do it. Good stuff.
There's more good stuff here and you won't read it in one sitting. I'm only up to chapter 3, plan to read 3 per day. Since 9/11, I've gotten all re-interested in reading religion, Africa, and many things Arabic. Seems a shame that the islamists probably will generate some sort of end times crap. You in the USA probably don't know how vulnerable your economy and social structure is. That tiny atomic bomb ended the very effective Japanese Imperial Empire when it was used on a secondary city, the second one was only to impress the Russians. The technology to build those toys is over 60 years old. Easy as pie for any country bigger than Rhode Island. Hell, RI could probably re-fit a couple of plants and build a few before Thanksgiving. The "Super", well it DOES require a bit more. Might take RI another few weeks to go from 20 KT to 20 MT. Much sadness. Kinda wish our collective contributions and reasonable intelligence could have been used doing the fun stuff.

This is on my true sucklist.
"Government cannot achieve the efficiencies of a business. Trying
to get government to be as efficient as business is as hopeless as
trying to teach cats to bark and dogs to meow." ---Walter Williams
The local (next county over) Voting Commisar was getting paid $77,000 plus $40,000 in perks per year 8 years ago. The book indicated she had >15,000 voters under her aegis at the time. Part-time job. She's still employed. Don't ask me about local pay vs local gummit pay. I won't discuss it. I'll just send you to folk that might if you don't mind a taxpayer revolt. Since in excess of 40% locally are gummit employees one way or the other (got weird here somehow) and even with the direct full welfare gerbils down to something around to 20% of the population not counting the Mexicans (different accounting, very strange recently), there are jobs. Skilled construction work will yield sometimes $12/hour for a good guy with 10+ years of experience. $9 is more likely. Zero med, zero sick leave, 2 weeks vacation after 5 years (1 week before). Same as the wetbacks get except if they have a child support problem with the Mexican system, they don't have 3/4ths of their pay pulled! I rather am enjoying the huge herd of Mexi's, got a couple of Guatamalans that are what as known as black carib's that I'm trying to communicate with. Built like stumps, have teeth fit to eat moderate sized trees. They smile a lot. Disconcerting. Fortunately I'm too old and scrawny to be part of their diet (that was one of our first communication breakthroughs! ;o) Damn good workers and they have been trained to run like deer when the INS woosies show up. Five fairly large local firms that I'm very familiar with (>10 M/yr) no longer hire anything but illegals. No insurance, no benes required. Da gummit does that from us dat pays da taxes. Lord have mercy how the very pretty little brown grrls have babies. Scads and scads.
I truly belive it is too late to legislate. Haven't the foggiest idea to keep Florida from becoming another Mexican population explosion zone since it has already happened. A old buddy, born and raised around Miami back in the 20's decided it was hopeless and tried to learn Spanish. I had a couple of years of HS Castillian. Guess how far that goes with Mexican Spanish! Perro. Gato. Cervesa. Sester. Marijuana. Uno Librium (after a night in Nuevo Youforgotsanity).
Florida will, if it isn't already, be more Mexican than any other state brew within one more election cycle. Best guesstimate is >30% by folk paying attention and other than the solid negro counties. Guv. Bush has done a fine job of cleaning up a big bunch of welfare fraud (votes for 'weafare'), done the best possible with the skool system (kinda), and has, even with me being moderately pissed-off with 3 failures, been the best governer Florida has had for 50 years. He'd make a fine prez. Better than his bro. Jeb is a "high-bush" cuppa tea! OK. Shoot me. I don't mind. The last head shot and leg shot hurt a bit. Unfortunately for the generating end, I was armed. The one that shot me in the leg got a center-mass. Head shot got .223 between the eyes. Damn leg shot hurt like the devil. Sombich needed some pain for being such a sorry shooter.
>30 years. Put to rest.

10 + PM, just walked through the news sites again. Who the hell could possibly give a damn about those various and assorted cartoons? Jesus H. and his kid brother Herman. Idiocy from every level. That really freaky newsclip from Iran is bothersome. Looks a awful like Russia back around 1960 only grey. Nazi. The bugger running the country seems to think Armageddon and the 12th something or the other is due in 2 years. His armed forces are enough. Back when Mr. K of the USSR and Mr. K of the USA were fussing about the IRSM's in Cuba back when I'd just got my General Class ham licence and discovered Tanya, our mutual nuke weapons combined were less than what the English have now. The French have about the same. Very few were simply atomic, most were augmented fission. Nasty things. Beautifully designed. Filthy as Hell.

Time to take a night hike. Rima is all fussed out. I pretty-much knew, not a fret, got a smile after a neighbor's kid developed the woodland critter-cam. Mz. bear is seriously establishing her territory. Yes, I carry a boomstick when she's being bitchy. It's been 8 years since I had to do the front door stuff (running like hell for it! ;o), 3 years since making noise, been thinkin' about shooting her this year. Been a while since I've eaten bear. ..nah. She's probably not the one that ate my idiot cat or the young shep. Besides, bear really isn't good meat. Good if you're hungry. Horse is better.
* * * * * *
Colder than a ex-mother-in-laws's cunt. Outside thermometer is most of 30 years old. Last one made in the US. Took the lab thermo out. 23 degrees. No wonder it felt a little frosty. Nice hike with knucklehead. She steered the direction and I got a smile of her picking a path close to 180 from where Mz. bear is occupying the terrain! Yeah, I brought the boomstick. Hidiously noisy. Nope, no prob and yep, had there been one, it would have just got noisy. I only shoot meat or trash. Not so little Rima is asleep under the desk. I'm going to have to find another as there is a possibility I just might outlive her. The possibility is low but I couldn't survive without a critter or 14. Dogs don't bite real people too often, they never require special services, and they eat (bite into muscle tissue) thieves. They love chillen more than most mamas, guard the fort, and once they are over 6 months old, rarely shit on the footpaths.

Large fire in the woodstove, feet are thawing, shitferbrains is making flappy noises. just checked the lab thermometer. Same. Must be some cloud cover. Got to out to go drain the single garden hose that runs thru the bareass greenhouse.
I need company. Been 18 years. No. I don't need company. Hidiously overpriced.
Kinda nice though. Girl-company is pretty-much the same as congressional K-Street. $500/hour for the low-priced spread. The good stuff, well, one pays everything and gets to also pay for her abortions from the others when they rig it such that their wives don't get too critical. The "universal lover" (cool dude), that was special. I've yet to meet a female born after 1960 that refused sex where there was a bag of money or prestige. Not one. Turned around, I doubt if it would be the same.

Just took another frosty walk. Got 1/4 mile out and came back. Wet tennis shoes, miserable. Put on the boots. Noisetube over the shoulder, muscular knucklehead running ahead. Goddam beautiful night. She's a peculier dawg. Been totally fucked-up since the idiot did the triple-tap killing of her mother between a couple of the '04 hurricanes. She's painfully shy. 7/8 shep by blood, built stronger than a pitbull, immensely fierce with unknown, immensely shy with humans. Sooo gentle with pups, so totally refusing of any human but self.

Winston Churchills' view of Islam

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.
The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities - but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome."
Either I had to do a search on the web or in my archives or on this site to get the full article or tell you to do it . You do it. Good stuff.
There's more good stuff here and you won't read it in one sitting. I'm only up to chapter 3, plan to read 3 per day. Since 9/11, I've gotten all re-interested in reading religion, Africa, and many things Arabic. Seems a shame that the islamists probably will generate some sort of end times crap. You in the USA probably don't know how vulnerable your economy and social structure is. That tiny atomic bomb ended the very effective Japanese Imperial Empire when it was used on a secondary city, the second one was only to impress the Russians. The technology to build those toys is over 60 years old. Easy as pie for any country bigger than Rhode Island. Hell, RI could probably re-fit a couple of plants and build a few before Thanksgiving. The "Super", well it DOES require a bit more. Might take RI another few weeks to go from 20 KT to 20 MT. Much sadness. Kinda wish our collective contributions and reasonable intelligence could have been used doing the fun stuff.

STATE BUREAUCRACY UPDATE
Daily Policy Digest
STATE AND LOCAL ISSUES
Tuesday, February 07, 2006
The nation's 16 million state and local government workers form a large, growing and well-compensated class in society, says Chris Edwards, Director of Tax Policy Studies at the Cato Institute.
According to Edwards:
* State and local workers earned $36 per hour in wages and benefits in 2005, compared to $24 for private sector workers.
* School teachers and administrators increased 22 percent between 1994-2004; by contrast, the number of children in public schools increased only 9 percent during the same period.
* Police, fire, corrections and legal staff grew on average 21 percent over the last decade.
* State and local health bureaucracies have grown as Medicaid spending has exploded.
The size of state and local bureaucracies varies widely by state, says Edwards:
* The largest bureaucracies are in Alaska, Washington D.C., and Wyoming, with government workforces reaching 16.6, 16.2 and 16.1 percent, respectively, of the total workforce.
* Nevada had the smallest bureaucracy with a workforce half the size of Alaska's at 8.6 percent, followed by Rhode Island, 9.5 percent, and Pennsylvania, 9.6 percent.
Numerous factors affect the size of bureaucracies in the states, including demographics, crime level, and differing propensity to contract out or privatize government tasks, says Edwards. Corruption and waste also play major roles as they reduce the effectiveness of government's ability to operate efficiently.
One conclusion, says Edwards, is that there seems to be substantial room for increased government efficiency in many states. The data indicates that some states are able to deliver government services with many fewer workers than do other jurisdictions.

"Government cannot achieve the efficiencies of a business. Trying
to get government to be as efficient as business is as hopeless as
trying to teach cats to bark and dogs to meow." ---Walter Williams
The local (next county over) Voting Commisar was getting paid $77,000 plus $40,000 in perks per year 8 years ago. The book indicated she had >15,000 voters under her aegis at the time. Part-time job. She's still employed. Don't ask me about local pay vs local gummit pay. I won't discuss it. I'll just send you to folk that might if you don't mind a taxpayer revolt. Since in excess of 40% locally are gummit employees one way or the other (got weird here somehow) and even with the direct full welfare gerbils down to something around to 20% of the population not counting the Mexicans (different accounting, very strange recently), there are jobs. Skilled construction work will yield sometimes $12/hour for a good guy with 10+ years of experience. $9 is more likely. Zero med, zero sick leave, 2 weeks vacation after 5 years (1 week before). Same as the wetbacks get except if they have a child support problem with the Mexican system, they don't have 3/4ths of their pay pulled! I rather am enjoying the huge herd of Mexi's, got a couple of Guatamalans that are what as known as black carib's that I'm trying to communicate with. Built like stumps, have teeth fit to eat moderate sized trees. They smile a lot. Disconcerting. Fortunately I'm too old and scrawny to be part of their diet (that was one of our first communication breakthroughs! ;o) Damn good workers and they have been trained to run like deer when the INS woosies show up. Five fairly large local firms that I'm very familiar with (>10 M/yr) no longer hire anything but illegals. No insurance, no benes required. Da gummit does that from us dat pays da taxes. Lord have mercy how the very pretty little brown grrls have babies. Scads and scads.
I truly belive it is too late to legislate. Haven't the foggiest idea to keep Florida from becoming another Mexican population explosion zone since it has already happened. A old buddy, born and raised around Miami back in the 20's decided it was hopeless and tried to learn Spanish. I had a couple of years of HS Castillian. Guess how far that goes with Mexican Spanish! Perro. Gato. Cervesa. Sester. Marijuana. Uno Librium (after a night in Nuevo Youforgotsanity).
Florida will, if it isn't already, be more Mexican than any other state brew within one more election cycle. Best guesstimate is >30% by folk paying attention and other than the solid negro counties. Guv. Bush has done a fine job of cleaning up a big bunch of welfare fraud (votes for 'weafare'), done the best possible with the skool system (kinda), and has, even with me being moderately pissed-off with 3 failures, been the best governer Florida has had for 50 years. He'd make a fine prez. Better than his bro. Jeb is a "high-bush" cuppa tea! OK. Shoot me. I don't mind. The last head shot and leg shot hurt a bit. Unfortunately for the generating end, I was armed. The one that shot me in the leg got a center-mass. Head shot got .223 between the eyes. Damn leg shot hurt like the devil. Sombich needed some pain for being such a sorry shooter.
>30 years. Put to rest.

10 + PM, just walked through the news sites again. Who the hell could possibly give a damn about those various and assorted cartoons? Jesus H. and his kid brother Herman. Idiocy from every level. That really freaky newsclip from Iran is bothersome. Looks a awful like Russia back around 1960 only grey. Nazi. The bugger running the country seems to think Armageddon and the 12th something or the other is due in 2 years. His armed forces are enough. Back when Mr. K of the USSR and Mr. K of the USA were fussing about the IRSM's in Cuba back when I'd just got my General Class ham licence and discovered Tanya, our mutual nuke weapons combined were less than what the English have now. The French have about the same. Very few were simply atomic, most were augmented fission. Nasty things. Beautifully designed. Filthy as Hell.
* * * * * *
Time to take a night hike. Rima is all fussed out. I pretty-much knew, not a fret, got a smile after a neighbor's kid developed the woodland critter-cam. Mz. bear is seriously establishing her territory. Yes, I carry a boomstick when she's being bitchy. It's been 8 years since I had to do the front door stuff (running like hell for it! ;o), 3 years since making noise, been thinkin' about shooting her this year. Been a while since I've eaten bear. ..nah. She's probably not the one that ate my idiot cat or the young shep. Besides, bear really isn't good meat. Good if you're hungry. Horse is better.
* * * * * *
Colder than a ex-mother-in-laws's cunt. Outside thermometer is most of 30 years old. Last one made in the US. Took the lab thermo out. 23 degrees. No wonder it felt a little frosty. Nice hike with knucklehead. She steered the direction and I got a smile of her picking a path close to 180 from where Mz. bear is occupying the terrain! Yeah, I brought the boomstick. Hidiously noisy. Nope, no prob and yep, had there been one, it would have just got noisy. I only shoot meat or trash. Not so little Rima is asleep under the desk. I'm going to have to find another as there is a possibility I just might outlive her. The possibility is low but I couldn't survive without a critter or 14. Dogs don't bite real people too often, they never require special services, and they eat (bite into muscle tissue) thieves. They love chillen more than most mamas, guard the fort, and once they are over 6 months old, rarely shit on the footpaths.
Been many years, won't do it again, et dawg. Not bad. Didn't speak the language. Tasty.

I see the hidious old harridan finally did the right thing and died. Nasty unit, that. I fully agree with her and ALL her children should be aborted, all "marriages" are a sham, and every living one of us human beings should be totally on our on. No goddam reason for the foolishness of marriage, faith, and family. Nasty old sour cunt. Bury that bag with a big sack of bicarb.

Cute little lardass.
Most of 30 years ago I almost got seriously involved with the Nature Conservancy but caught myself up shy when I found out the head weenies were thieving dirt merchants. Some good hearts promoting it back then, mostly lib grrls from the NE. Cute as buttons. Seems the biz model hasn't changed much. Too bad. I need another decal for the shop greenhouse door (keeps visitors from banging their heads). ..might have a "save the whales" decal buried in the pile of stuff, that'll work..

Just took a cruise through the news sites. Interesting. Can't find a nearby mosque to go riot at this morning. Damn. Guess I'll just have to go plant some Sugar Snaps after the sun comes up. Had myself all set to go riot and kill a kafr or 10, meebe blow meself up or sumfin'..
Keep yer wimmin in burkas, teach yer male kids hate in madrassas, and sho 'nuff, you can wind up with a billion folk that are certified loons in a couple of generations.

OUTRAGED MUSLIMS! OH MY!
Muslim outrage huh. OK ... let's do a little historical review. Just some lowlights:
* Muslims fly commercial airliners into buildings in New York City. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslim officials block the exit where school girls are trying to escape a burning building because their faces were exposed. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslims cut off the heads of three teenaged girls on their way to school in Indonesia. A Christian school. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslims murder teachers trying to teach Muslim children in Iraq. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslims murder over 80 tourists with car bombs outside cafes and hotels in Egypt. No Muslim outrage.
* A Muslim attacks a missionary children's school in India. Kills six. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslims slaughter hundreds of children and teachers in Beslan, Russia. Muslims shoot children in the back. No Muslim outrage.
* Let's go way back. Muslims kidnap and kill athletes at the Munich Summer Olympics. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslims fire rocket-propelled grenades into schools full of children in Israel. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslims murder more than 50 commuters in attacks on London subways and busses. Over 700 are injured. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslims massacre dozens of innocents at a Passover Seder. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslims murder innocent vacationers in Bali. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslim newspapers publish anti-Semitic cartoons. No Muslim outrage
* Muslims are involved, on one side or the other, in almost every one of the 125+ shooting wars around the world. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslims beat the charred bodies of Western civilians with their shoes, then hang them from a bridge. No Muslim outrage.
* Newspapers in Denmark and Norway publish cartoons depicting Mohammed. Muslims are outraged.
Dead children. Dead tourists. Dead teachers. Dead doctors and nurses. Death, destruction and mayhem around the world at the hands of Muslims .. no Muslim outrage ... but publish a cartoon depicting Mohammed with a bomb in his turban and all hell breaks loose.
Come on, is this really about cartoons? They're rampaging and burning flags. They're looking for Europeans to kidnap. They're threatening innkeepers and generally raising holy Muslim hell not because of any outrage over a cartoon. They're outraged because it is part of the Islamic jihadist culture to be outraged. You don't really need a reason. You just need an excuse. Wandering around, destroying property, murdering children, firing guns into the air and feigning outrage over the slightest perceived insult is to a jihadist what tailgating is to a Steeler's fan.
I know and understand that these bloodthirsty murderers do not represent the majority of the world's Muslims. When, though, do they become outraged? When do they take to the streets to express their outrage at the radicals who are making their religion the object of worldwide hatred and ridicule? Islamic writer Salman Rushdie wrote of these silent Muslims in a New York Times article three years ago. "As their ancient, deeply civilized culture of love, art and philosophical reflection is hijacked by paranoiacs, racists, liars, male supremacists, tyrants, fanatics and violence junkies, why are they not screaming?"
Indeed. Why not?
