Also, I guess sharks are no longer patrolling our shores for snacks like they were on slow news days.

Although...people tell me I still need to worry about all those killer hurricanes that have been cropping up all over the place.

The other questions I have involve more detailed explainations....

Of course it wasn't.

In a similar development, the pesky Romans have decided to copyright the Coliseum and thus putting all open-air stadiums on notice for royalties due.
Furthermore, in true mafioso style, all royalties are retroactive to building's opening.

Back when I first learned about about stratas and the region we live in, I was incredulous that we lived in a "forest" area. 'No way', I said 'we live in a city, not a forest.' (I was young, ok?)
It wasn't until I was driving through town that I had the proverbial moment of clarity. Once I looked past the houses and building, I realized that there were trees everywhere.
Why this look into my really effed up past? Simple.
Look past the BS talking points of the presidential candidates and think about the world as a whole. The world may suffer from famine, unfairnes and desease. This country may have life-or-death disagreements such as how to provide healthcare to everyone, taxes, gays in the military and banning guns. But we ALL suffer from the growing problem that is Sharia law and bs 'laws' enacted by this religion. And, please, spare me the crap about how these people are just extremists who exploit a religion. Screw you. How many does it take to not make it just 'some' people? If its the republican party in this country, its just one. What does 'thousands' make? A few? Most? Oh, and lets not forget about how the minority -by their definition - is trying to ban a muslim for saying, basically, "Hey, maybe we shouldn't be bombing Israel."
Where is WHO, Amnesty International, the feminist movement and any other group calling for 'fairness' in the US. Are you friggin' kidding me?!?
NO ONE exactly knows what the hell is going to piss them off or to what extent.
Say this out loud and feel free to defend/explain the outrage, people:
THEY WANT HER DEAD BECAUSE SHE ALLOWED HER CLASS OF 7 YEAR OLDS TO VOTE ON A NAME FOR A TEDDY BEAR, AND THEY WERE OFFENDED BY THE NAME.

Hmm...maybe she's just too obscure now. There was a time she was the lead in a blockbuster way back in the day ........2003. (top 10, anyway)

Death becomes her.

This stays on top until I get some guesses.
So the next clue will be written:
When she appeared, she was much more advanced model.

Oh, to be Frensh.

Not so much, thanks.

***UPDATE:
- Its seems the great gun laws in Fransh have led to rioters shooting at police.
- To really make their point these haute rioters burned down an elementary school and a library....to...uh....show...uh...er....intellectual superiority.
- Why did this start? Oh yeah, a couple of un-helmeted kids ran into a police car with their scooter and died. Someone has to be blamed.

Damn that cop car for being there!!!

Time to ban the Police car. They kill.

Oh, yeah, as of ~9 this morning, MSNBC sees fit to only obliquely report it as their 7th international story...following the future failings of the peace talks on top (by the way, if we can't win by talking, what should we be doing, MSM? But thats a post for a different day...)


Reality:
You know, for all of you that think we should "strive" to resolve issues like the Frensh, keep in mind that for a long time, the Frensh were seen as - to use my HS history teachers' description - the armpit of the world.
Some still see it.

Results...

Well, last nite at Papa’s Social Club was quite a fun time.
Although there were on 7 people that showed up, we managed to raise a proportionately substantial amount for the Wisconsin Chapter of the MS Society.
This was achieved 2 ways:
- The two finalists, Nick and Asian Badger, generously decided to simply get their entry fees back and donate any winnings to the back to the charity.
- Ken Deavers – an accountant/tax guy (my term) who plays cards for funsies on Monday nites with me. Ken was kind enough not only to pre-pay his share, but he also paid my share so we could have 7 people play. This all worked out rather nicely, as he and I were planning on donating any winnings back anyway. (I wanted to link to Ken, if anyone would have any bookkeeping needs, but his office is in his home, so I don’t know if he would appreciate it. So if anyone would like his information, please contact me.)

Dickie – aside from being a great host, providing the location and supplying the great pizza – brought along his obvious gambler friend and joined in the game.
…..so did Stevegg. We hope this “setback” doesn’t preclude him from playing in the next one in January (stay tuned).

Big thanks to one and all!


Reality:

Rally

OK, so unlike my fellow bloggers, present at the AFP rally held in Madison on Wednesday, I have been absent in giving my reviews – and pictures – of the event. I fancy myself more of a ‘ranter’ than ‘reviewer.’ The review is: it was AWESOME. I do believe that was my first – and hopefully not last – political rally.
I have to go to more…if nothing else to see that there really are lemmings in the world that hold up moronic signs that say ‘Do Your Job!’ when, gee, the people I voted for ARE doing their job showing some responsibility in their actions and my money. It was nice to meet some bloggers I had never met before, and it was very cool to put faces to the blogs.

Medellin v. Texas

This case is in the Supreme Court of the U.S. today.
Why? Well mostly because we have a pansy of a prez when it comes to protecting the borders...but I digress.
My take on this whole think is a bit more far-reaching than this one case.

Basically, the stance is that Medellin was not told he could speak and seek help from the Mexican consulate or some such. Not that he was denied, mind you. Just not told it was an obscure right he had (so obscure his own lawyer didn't know). Anyone reading this aware that illegal aliens committing heinous crimes could do that? I didn’t think so.
He was read his Miranda rights, had a lawyer, the whole schpiel.

The whole thing stems from a treaty that nations have amongst each other. Like a courtesy among them, and to provide protection and – IMHO, protect their own sovereignty.
And that’s the rub, the fly in the ointment for me.

Anyone that knows me knows I would be first in line to flip the switch, hang the rope, drop the pill, or insert the needle – whatever.

However……

If the SCOTUS rules that the compacts that the US entered with other sovereign nations supersede the state rights on how to prosecute foreign criminals, its not all bad.

Once that is established, why cant the US go to all these hokey “sanctuary” cities and say:
“Yo, quit trying to make your own rules and ignoring the sovereignty of the country that gave you the right to even BE a state. This safe haven crap is basically saying ‘This state supersedes YOUR sovereignty’.”
Well, maybe no those exact words….but you get the idea.
You then send Medellin back to his country, where boys and girls can fear him.
He is, of course, released with the implicit point that the US would not be responsible for a stray bullet if he was ever “caught” in the US again.

Go ahead, tell me how off base I am.

Perspective

During the course of this summer, I attempted to keep track of the shootings and homicides in the city of Milwaukee.
My rough numbers are ~135 shootings and ~29 homicides.

~29.
For 3 months.

And what is the mantra being spewed by the elites of the city? “Deaths are down compared to the pace last year.” From the local rag: “…city has recorded 77 homicides compared to 81 at this time last year.”

Things are looking up!
Hell, I feel safer every day.

From the first paragraph of this article.
Whats wrong with this paragraph:

[ "Closely following a sighting of a Hydrogen-powered 7 series during testing, BMW officially announced the Hydrogen 7 today. The car is touted as the first hydrogen-drive luxury performance automobile for everyday use. The BMW Hydrogen 7 will be built in a limited series, and sold to select customers in the U.S. and overseas in 2007. The engine in the Hydrogen 7, a derivative of the 7 series 12 cylinder engine, is capable of running on gasoline or hydrogen, and produces 260 hp. The car will accelerate from 0 to 62.1 mpg in 9.5 seconds. The ability to run on both gasoline and hydrogen gives the Hydrogen 7 a range of more than 400 miles. The high tech hydrogen storage tank has a capacity of approximately 17.6 lb of liquid hydrogen, giving the Hydrogen 7 a cruising range in hydrogen mode upwards of 125 miles. The gasoline mode accounts for an additional 300 miles of cruising range. The driver is the one who decides which fuel to use, with a smooth transition between both operating modes, since the engine power and torque remain identical regardless of the fuel used." ]

Reality:
C'mon, you can do it.

So I was AFK (I was told it means "Away From Keyboard) for 98% of the time this past weekend. Too bad.
Shortly after I posted this story, I received a rather terse email from the author's husband.
Not the author, herself, mind you.
Her husband.
(You can paruse it here. I've removed addresses. Maybe a bad call on my part, but...)

Let's put the obvious question aside for now and lets focus a bit on the story itself.
If I were to say to you "Police were called to the corner of my block where they found a dead body in the upstairs apartment", what would you ask first?
Is it me, or is "why were they called in the first place" be one of the first questions you think of?
Did they have an ESP moment? Did someone just happen to point to the apartment when the cops just happen to be outside? Did someone hear gunshots coming from the apartment?
I mean, isnt that basic reporting?
Who? What? Where? When? WHY?
I learned this when I was on the paper's "staff" in 4TH GRADE.

This post was not an "attack" on your wife, sir. To be perfectly honest, I had no idea who wrote it until I received your "knight in shining armor" email defense.
YOU made it about your wife specifically. For all I know, they could have different authors every day.


Reality:
Of the dozen or so people I've shown your email to, the OVERWHELMING question has been: Why the hell did her husband email you and not her?
So feel free to ignore "my me" (whatever the hell that means..).
In other words, Mr. Spice, I WILL NOT be apologizing or printing a retraction.

Bleeding hearts never really care unless its their own heart that bleeds.
Hey, Fred, here's a "Guess the number" game for you: 2,190,000.

AWESOME!!

You know what this means, don't you?
I can't wait to bust out my laminated "victim" card!


Reality:
Does this mean I'll be allowed to use "honkey" and "cracker" in my songs?

WHOA!!

How awesome is THIS???!!!
How do you like them apples:

Mr. Hackbarth Goes To Washington.

Congratulations and all the best to you, sir.

Reality:
Does this mean that you will also have to do whatever his wife wants?

Idiot.

Dumbass.
"Rtard" (as heard on South Park)
Stupid.
Breck Girl.
....or one of the most used terms used to describe him: Hypocrite.
Call him whatever you like, but don't ever call this guy my president.

Reality:
This guy will do or say anything to get elected. This is a shock?
...oh, and add another reason for MM ;-)

Apophis

So being the geek I am, I was trolling around some astronomy sites and ran across this.
I mean........seriously?
I guess its something to look "forward" to...right?

Reality:
Well, if nothing else, it will give rise to Ookla and Princess Ariel.....so we got that going for us.

I KNOW You Were All Waiting For This..

Yeah, the next time "stars" have a feel-good fundraiser to help some cause, I will think of the money wasted on tripe like this and think "Perhaps all of you can kiss my ass" before I give them one red cent.
(Not that I ever did or would, but you get the idea...)

Reality:
Hollywood represents mainstream America my ass...

2nd PJ O'Rourke Award Goes To....

Mayor Tom Barret

[ "A Milwaukee police initiative aimed at reducing violence in the city this summer was credited today by Mayor Tom Barrett as a primary factor in a decrease in homicides and non-fatal shootings so far this year." ]

OK, you know the line....

Reality:
Read the article, look at the stats on the right. Are you kidding me??
"Non-fatal shootings" is peppered all over that story.
Hey, jerky, maybe the emergency responders are just getting better at treating the same crap over and over!!

It's Alive!!

The Spin lives on.

Reality:
"The Man" can't keep us (ok, them) down.

Hilarious

Ok, now go make us a hit!

H/T: The Game

Reality:
How'd you like to have that station manager job?

Be ready....

For all the sequels this summer!
I give you: Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer.....The Musical.
This is a behind-the scenes look......




Reality:
Even this is better than Spiderman 3.

You go, Joe.

Tell me again why this is a bad idea?
Once again, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is ahead of the curve on another issue.

Reality:
This guy should be running for prez.
Or at least be appointed to some cabinet post by the next one.

Consens-this!

So I just got done watching a show on the History Channel Called Mega Disasters.
Incredibly, they were talking about how there were extreme temperature changes in the 1300's and how scientists fear it may happen again due to sunspot activity and natural undulations of the planet's ocean currents.
From the site:

[ New research has indicated to scientists that the climate is changing rapidly and unpredictably. In different parts of the world, we could be facing drought, floods, storms and extreme cold. ]

How the hell can this be? Were there SUV's in the middle ages? The Mayan empire?? Concensus??? BUELLER???!?!?

Reality:

It took them (the producers) a full 40 minutes to blame Global Warming if another Ice Age hits (but only in Europe and North America).

HUH!!!?!?!??!?!

Is Life Over Now?

Admit it....you all want to do a version of this:
Get over it.

Reality:
Never read a page.
Barely watched parts of 2 of the movies.
Life went on.
Crazy.

Friday Feature

How do you get around sensors to show porn on free TV?

Reality:
You ALL knew what was coming...

Inagural PJ O'Rourke Award

Why PJ O'Rourke? Well, in his book "Parliment of Whores", he gave us this description to an ordinary man or woman who tries to understand some of the crap congress pulls:
"What the fcuk?!?!? What the fcuking fcuk??!??"
This was my reaction whe reading an MSNBC story and came across this little nugget:

[ "A tiny provision tucked into a spending bill for Iraq requires that prescriptions for Medicaid patients be written on “tamper-resistant” pads. But most doctors do not use such pads." ]

The author writes the story as tho the biggest part of the story is all the people that aren't going to be able to get the prescriptions they need.
Hey, skippy, why don't you ask what the hell Medicaid patients are doing in the Iraqi spending bill!!
Unbelievable!!! The rest.

Reality:
WTF???!?
WTFingF?!?!

P Day

Reality:
Kick.
Ass.

So, then....

This global warming - good, then?


Reality:
Too funny.
I get a kick out of how scietists are all self-important. Proving sh..tuff one day only to disprove it later - or even this little tidbit. Science of the body is one thing. Science of the universe is still waaaaaaaaaay too far past concensus IMHO.
Unless you know better.

Indulge me...

I just finished watching "The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)", and I can't help myself.
This song is amazing. I think someone out there in the blogosphere recently posted this song.
Still, its not about the video.
Just listen.



Reality:
Its the only song I know that gives me goose bumps every time I hear it.
EVERY time.

Introducing...

still Unreal Simpson:

H/T The Early Spin

Anyone? Is it close?

Oh, no he did-uhnt..

oh yes.... 2 of 3 bands soon to be off the "before I (or they) die" list...



Reality:
July 6, 2007 - 7 pm.
Its not quite 7-7-07, but I'll take it...
FINE....life just got a tad bit better. But just a tad.

Time to reevaluate...?

A few years ago, I was diagnosed with MS. At the time, not knowing what the heck it was, the only question I had for the doctor was “Is it contagious?” He assured me that it wasn’t. I shrugged it off and off I went. Ignorance was bliss.
Fast forward 8 years, fall victim to knowledge and über-expensive meds just to do….well, pretty much nothing and your perspective changes.
A few months back, after I had decided to succumb completely to lethargy and apathy brought on by the MS, it seemed like a good idea to move to Iceland …….or Ulaanbaatar and live in a cave. Even went so far as to price out the one-way tickets. After all, it was really all I could do, right?

After complete self-absorption, self-deprecation and self-pity I met someone who, for a while, got me out of that funk.
And what happens when the world you think you know comes crashing down on you for the umpteenth f*@#ing time?

Well, if you guessed that Iceland is just too damn cold and Ulaanbaatar is just a bit too far off the beaten path, you’d be partly right. You then wait a few months to tie up loose ends, then implement the plan, in general – I feel older and wiser, and the destinations have changed.
These are numbers for travel next March. It may seem a long way away, but you all (like 5 of you) know that as you age, time reeeeeeeeeeeeally flies.
All are one-way tickets...
Back to my home town: ~$1,800
Sicily , Godfather-style: ~$1,800
Just outside Florence with the crazy aunt: ~$1,300
Milan , with my cousin – (incredibly cool) son of said crazy aunt: ~$600 (….thru Ireland, 12 hr layover !!!, sweet!)
Lampedusa (I love this isle): I figure I can “boat” there if I go to my hometown…

Reality:
Yeah, I realize I finally became a (proud) citizen of the USA only to go back “home”, but its as far away as I can get.
I think we have a winner! (yes, I know they are pretty much the same....once I get there it'll be as easy as going from North Dakota to Miami, anyway..)
Besides, I think I can pick up on the language as well as satisfy my inner history geek at the same time.... Thoughts? Other destinations? Anyone? Bueller?

So, tell me again....

Why we shouldn't go after the employers because they don't know?

Reality:
So let me get this straight....your law office holds a seminar specifically on how to recruit illegal aliens, you "clearly" state your goal and yet -
When you are confronted by a news organization, you say that you made some "bad choices" in your words???
IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!

Bizzaro Pulp

Reality:
I friggin' love the Muppets....

Who am I?

Reality:
No hints...yet.

Slippery Slope

For all of you that believe that there is no slippery slope of the decreasing standards in our society, I humbly present you with this story:

I recently changed my home page from MSNBC to FoxNews. Every time I open Explorer, one of those annoying pop-ups appear and I quickly close it. This particular pop-up stopped me in my tracks before I could close it.
On the heels of Racine's "pimp my library card" there is this pop-up below:



Reality:
Are you kidding me?? This after last night I hear Fox refused to air a condom manufacturer commercial (which I liked, thought it was pretty funny and had no problems with).

Holy Crap!!!

I'm linking to a Canadian paper about global warming reality, eh!
Run for the hills, the end is nigh, yah!

Reality:
So basically, this science will be refuted as either "biased" or "looney", but I don't really think the sunspots and reality give a rat's pattotie.

Signs of summer...

On this, the first day of summer, I'd like to remind or inform the 2-3 readers of this blog some of the "signs of summer."

For all of you afraid of the water, its ok, just don't forget your sunscreen.

In Milwaukee, the summer wilding season started a tad bit early. Of course, the local "paper" (and by paper I mean toilet paper) didn't think it was that big a deal and and the scramble started with the apologists coming out of the woodwork here. Nationally, its a different story, but we don't like to talk about that.

The Milwaukee police say they "had a plan" for Juneteenth. Like they do for the upcoming Carnage Season - or some may call it "summer." It starts like this.

Reality:
All things considered, I'll take the beach and all it's perils then within 100 miles of Milwaukee.
Make that 10, 000 miles.

Go figure.

Take one part government + anything = Complete clusterf.....

You get the idea.

Reality:
God forbid they should just build the refineries so the prices drop.

Pfftt.....

Ok, so...my epitath is to read:
