W.Va. May Offer Gun Training in Schools    I spent my formative years in WV and unless there has been a radical change in the youth of WV, they don’t need gun training, they just need a target.

Report Says Democracies Enable Despots    Damned for interfering if we do and damned for doing nothing if we let events take their course.  The US and Europe can’t win no matter what we do.

Katrina Levee Lawsuit Dismissed    Another attempt to obtain some ‘free money’ is thwarted, for the moment.

World Trade Organization Is No Friend to USA     Far as I’m concerned the WTO is a front for Leftists from Commies to Socialists who hate the US and will do anything to suborn US law and steal US jobs and manufacturing.  I say we get out of the UN, NAFTA, and WTO all at the same time and go our own way.

Czech president calls EU climate measures ‘tragic mistake’…     This man ‘gets it’, why doesn’t the rest of Europe and North America?  Money is the reason the rest ‘don’t get it’ and its not money that with go in taxpayer pockets, its money that will come out of those pockets.

Is McCain a Conservative?     Hell no he’s not, he’s a RINO (Republican-in-name-only) and I’ll never vote for this lying doddering old fool.

Spears Taken From Her Home in Ambulance     First we had the never ending Nichole Smith story and now we have the Brittney Spears soap opera.  And in the mean time we’ve had the wailing and teeth gnashing over Heath Ledger.  None of these things rate/rated more than a passing line on page 32 of the the NYT, but some how its all of nation/worldwide importance.  Shows where we have our priorities at doesn’t it!

Scientists: Blue-Eyed People Are Inbred Mutants    Well you can color me one of these inbred mutants (I’m also A/B Positive in blood-type and that’s suppose to mean your ancestors were fornicating with close relatives and since my people were from the British Isles and Normandy that would make sense) as I have blue eyes which actually aren’t blue at all as the blue color comes from refraction and not actually color, as blue eyes are actually ‘clear’.  (I read years ago that ‘blue eyed’ people saw better in the dark and dim light which would make sense in a climate like Northern Europe.  I’ve not heard more about this though is many years.)

Report: Mil. Not Ready for Catastrophic Attack on U.S.     We’re never going to be ready and anyone who things different doesn’t have a clue how large the US actually is.  The best we’ll ever be able to do is react swiftly to such and attack and I’m not betting the farm that we can even do that.

Abuse of U.S. Muslim Women Is Greater Than Reported, Advocacy Groups Say Link http://tinyurl.com/398c83  Fox News     While I’m sure this is all true, I don’t care!  I don’t care because all those who men and women who are involved in this have adopted the cult of Islam and its 7th century attitudes, superstitions, and dogma.  They made their bed, let them wallow in it.

However, the government’s files hint at a tantalizing mystery: In the middle of the war game, someone quietly attacked the very computers used to conduct the exercise. Perplexed organizers traced the incident to overzealous players and sent everyone an urgent e-mail marked “IMPORTANT!” reminding them not to probe or attack the game computers.

“Any time you get a group of (information technology) experts together, there’s always a desire, ‘Let’s show them what we can do,’” said George Foresman, a former senior Homeland Security official who oversaw Cyber Storm. “Whether its intent was embarrassment or a prank, we had to temper the enthusiasm of the players.”

Green Desperation Time     Quote:  News of a January 31 “teach-in” on more than 1,000 college campuses nationwide strikes me of just one more example of the growing desperation of the environmental movement that has bet its credibility and influence on global warming.

Never fear 2 X 4 Gore and his merry pack of dingbats will call on the services of their highly paid ‘spin doctors’ and morph a new plan into place.  Meanwhile the Discovery Channels state categorically that ‘human caused global warming is a fact’.

In Search of Camelot     Maybe the people who keep pining for ‘Camelot’ should read how the ‘Legend of Camelot’ actually turned out.  Murder, betrayal, cuckoldry is how it turned out!  Hmm come to think of it that’s how the ‘so called Camelot’ of JFK turned out.

Conservative Gabbers Blast McCain     I’m going to say yet again.  “I won’t vote for a Repub just to keep a Dem out of the White House.  I made that mistake twice with Bush II, but I’ll not make it again.  If McCain get the Repub nomination I won’t vote for POTUS in 2008 and that’s final!”

All of the above!  (Stick with this one)

Rising Number of Medical Errors Due to Drug-Name Confusion     Lord yes let’s not expect medical professionals and druggists to actually know the names of the drugs they’re proscribing and for what conditions.

Spanish Jewish leader urges jail terms for Holocaust denial     I don’t deny the Holocaust happened, but if I wanted to do so it would be within my rights to do so.  As soon as you begin to make it a crime to dispute anything, you’ve fallen into the trap that has always tripped up dictators and governments who want to censor speech.

Huge List of Government Agencies    This is truly depressing as this list is only for the Fed’s and does not include the myriad of agencies in the 50 states, D.C., Puerto Rico, the territories, and all city, county, township, agencies.  (We’re vastly over agency-ed while being vastly under-served.  Go to any federal, state, or local agency about anything and see if you aren’t treated as an interloper who’s breaking up and interesting coffee-klatch)

John Edwards to quit presidential race     ‘Pretty Boy’ will eventually throw his support behind Hillary in exchange for the VP nomination.  IMO, this has been in the cards all along, as it will be a way of cutting the ‘Stealth Muzzie’ off at the knees.

Rogue Trader becomes national hero in France…     Why am I not surprised that this is happening in France?

STUDY: Middle-age is truly depressing…     The only thing I’ve found truly depressing as I’ve grown older, is that no matter how things appear to change, in reality they stay the same.  Here is an example:  When I was a youth in the early 1950′s Kenya was in the grip of the Mau-Mau uprising.  Frast-forward into 2008 and Kenya is again in the grip of what I call Mau-Mau II.

Kennedy Family Embraces Obama as Worthy Heir     Heir to what?  A womanizing liar who nearly led us into a nuke war because he didn’t support the Bay of Pigs Invasion.  A man who would not have been elected if the Dem’s hadn’t stolen IL by padding the vote in Cook County IL where Chicago is located.  A man who accomplished nothing in his very brief tenure in office except for laying Marylin Monroe in the White House and getting his head blown off in Dallas TX.  And this is just about John Kennedy.  I won’t go into the chicanery of the rest of the vile Kennedy clan. Worthy heir indeed!

Yasmin Alibhai-Brown: Why is racial abuse now considered acceptable?    You are treated as you treat others. You can’t expect others to bow and scrape to you when you act as though you ‘have something coming’. Never fails to amaze me that when people of another race move into a another nation it has to be ‘all about them’, while what the natives want is immaterial.

Report: Ohio Inmate DNA Testing Flawed    Cops and prosecutors routinely focus in on ‘he/she did it’ and they don’t want to hear any more about it. Then when evidence proves that ‘he/she’ didn’t do it cops and prosecutors will go to any lengths to keep that evidence from coming to light. No one want to be proved a fool and the fools more than anyone don’t want that.

Super Bowl Tix Go for $4,300    If I had that kind of money I wouldn’t waste it on S/B tickets. The best seats in the house are in your house watching your TV.

Critics: Immigration Raid Retaliatory    And what the hell does an e-mail have to do with anything?  The bottom line is ‘illegal’ is just that ‘illegal’ and any city that touts itself as a haven for ‘illegals’ should have it leadership arrested and tried for aiding and abetting a criminal act.

Doctors: Don’t treat the old or unhealthy    Quote:  Doctors are calling for NHS treatment to be withheld from patients who are too old or who lead unhealthy lives.

I don’t know which this is more like Stalins Russia, Hitler’s Germany or Mao’s China.  (Look for more of this to become popular in Europe and North America)

As global food costs rise, are biofuels to blame?    Well of course bio-fuels are to blame!  If a farmer can make more money a bushel selling corn for fuel than he can for food, who do you think he’s going to sell to?  Oh and BTW it takes 1 gallon of other fuel to produce 1-1/3 gallons of bio-fuel.  No much of a gain for what its costing all of us, is it?

Arizona Law Takes a Toll on Nonresident Students     And just why should ‘illegals’ be in American colleges and universities in the first place?  I’ll tell you why, so the colleges and universities can make more money on enrollments.  The first time there is ever anything that doesn’t have money at its root, will be the first time, ever.

The black box economy     Business and business ventures rule the world, not nations and its been that way for a long time. 

Anti-war group says war crimes are “encouraged”     I’ll never understand what some of these anti-war veterans are about?  What did they expect war was about before they were in one?  Did they think it was like TV or movies where guys grab their chest when shot and then just fall over dead?  It’s not like that and never has been.  There are screams, moans, groans, the bodies shake and quiver.  There is the hot copper scent of blood with the rank smells of feces, urine, and gunpowder mixed in.  The eyes glaze in death and then in seconds the flies find the bodies.  It’s all horrific and exciting at the same time.  Horrific because you know you helped do it and exciting because you’re still alive and on a massive adrenalin buzz.  This is war up close and personal and it has to be this way.  Just because the person you’re going to kill begs for his life and says he’s innocent, doesn’t make it so.  These aren’t ‘war crimes’, they’re just the price of doing business and staying alive.  A troopers job is to kill and stay alive, moral judgments should be left to lying politicians to pontificate on come the next election.

The cyber guardians of honest journalism     Equating ’honesty’ with journalism is like equating ‘honesty’ with politics, the words have no common ground.

Disabled Spy Satellite Threatens Earth     Threatens earth, WTF?  The way ‘Chicken Littles’ are carrying on you’d think this satellite was the size of Texas, while in reality it only weights 20, 000 pounds and that’s before it starts to burn up on reentry.  Of course some of the ‘Chicken Littles’ are carrying on about radiation and other nonsense.  Folks this isn’t the first satellite to fall from space and it won’t be the last, its no big deal!

The Greatest Grassroots Campaign in Political History: IGNORED BY BIG MEDIA     Translation; Ron Paul and his ‘Merry Paulie’s’ are falling flat on their faces, however its still a huge victory for all conspiracy nuts everywhere.  But MSM is ignoring this huge victory.

NYC, Gun Dealers Both Hail Sting Ruling    ‘Sting Ops’ are nothing more than various government agencies engaging  in breaking the law in order to catch other law breakers.  Many people see to think I’m wrong.  Well if you walk in some place and try to buy a gun or drugs or engage in a sex act that is illegal and you’re working undercover for any government agency you’re breaking the law.  (Don’t give me the good intentions b/s, as the road to hell is paved with good intentions)  As far as I’m concerned any undercover op that allows agents to attempt to lure others into breaking the are themselves criminals.  Attempting to fight crime by engaging in criminal acts make criminals out of government, but that’s SOP in the US now.

The Skinny on the MacBook Air     Wish I could afford one of these.  Recently I picked up a used US Military lap top that weighs in at 8 pounds without anything plugged into it.  (Eight pounds is what the M1 weighed during WWII)  On the up side it has a shatterproof screen, its armor plated and actually has drain holes in order to drain off any liquid it might encounter.  It’s made for use in the field and has been completely rebuilt inside.  I got it for $299 and that included the CD drive, power cord, and four point usb hub.  The cheapest I’d seen new was $477 at Wall-Mart and that one looked and felt really cheap.

Limbaugh: McCain Does Not Fit ‘Conservative’ Definition    McCain is a ‘RINO’ and as such he is more of a ‘Liberal’ on many things than a full-blown ‘Lefty-Dem’ would be. Oh and before I forget McCain is also a doddering old fool who can’t seem to remember where he is and what he said last week.

He’s Not as Smart as He Thinks    So men are smarter when it comes to knowing which way is north and which way is left or right. Men also score well in knowing when we’re being lied to. Women on the other hand seem to do well with the ‘chatty stuff’ and ‘I feel your pain b/s’. Personally I’d rather know if I’m going the right way rather than get bogged down in a load of emotional b/s.

Covert bid to push US troops into Pak    I’m betting we’ve had covert ops specialists and/or US Army Rangers in Pakistan for years. This latest round of speculation by MSM on this is just setting the stage as it were to reveal their presence in the very near future.

Senate May Scuttle House’s Agreement With Bush on Stimulus Plan     Maybe the Senate Dem’s think this attempt to ‘buy’ American citizens with a few paltry dollars while allowing lending institutions even more free reign doesn’t go far enough. In other words, “We’re gonna have to sweeten the bribery pot with more devalued dollars.”

A Nonpartisan Joke

I have never read nor heard a more truthful analogy than this one.

THIS IS A NONPARTISAN JOKE THAT CAN BE ENJOYED BY BOTH PARTIES! NOT ONLY THAT, IT IS POLITICALLY CORRECT!

Study on hurricanes, warming creates storm

Controversial data tie warmer temps to wind shear, which inhibits cyclones

Quote:   WASHINGTON – Global warming could reduce how many hurricanes hit the United States, according to a new federal study that clashes with other research. The new study is the latest in a contentious scientific debate over how manmade global warming may affect the intensity and number of hurricanes.

In it, researchers link warming waters, especially in the Indian and Pacific oceans, to increased vertical wind shear in the Atlantic Ocean near the United States. Wind shear — a change in wind speed or direction — makes it hard for hurricanes to form, strengthen and stay alive.

End quote and link http://tinyurl.com/ywxz6q  msnbc

Now let me see if I’ve got this right.  Global warming causes more hurricanes of greater intensity.  At the same time global warming causes few hurricanes of less intensity.

Well ITO of this old ‘redneck’, “I’d like to buy all these ‘experts’ for what they’re really worth and sell them for what they think they’re worth.”  Be a hell of a profit margin there I can tell you.  How in the hell can global warming cause both things at the same time?
