Norman and his blonde wife live in Calgary.

One winter morning while listening to the radio, they hear the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 centimeters of snow today. You must park your car on the even numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through."

Norman's wife goes out and moves her car.

A week later while they are eating breakfast, the radio announcer
says, "We are expecting 10 to 12 centimeters of snow today. You must park
your car on the odd numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get
through." Norman's wife goes out and moves her car again.

The next week they are having breakfast again, when the radio
announcer says "We are expecting 12 to 14 centimeters of snow today. You must park........... " then the electric power goes out.

Norman's wife is very upset, and with a worried look on her face she says, "Honey, I don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowplow can get through?"

With the love and understanding in his voice like all men who are
married to Blondes exhibit, Norman says, "Why don't you just leave it
in the garage this time?"

Little Georgie watched his daddy's car pass by the school playground
& go into the woods. Curious, he followed the car and saw Daddy & Aunt Jane in a passionate embrace.

Little Georgie found this so exciting that he could not contain himself as he ran home & started to tell his mother, "Mommy, I was at the playground & I saw Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look & he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane........"

At this point Mommy cut him off & said, "Georgie, this is such an
interesting story, suppose you save the rest of it for supper time.
I want to see the look on Daddy's face when you tell it tonight!"

At the dinner table, Mommy asked little Georgie to tell his story.

Georgie started his story, "I was at the playground & I saw Daddy's
car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look & he was
giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt. Then
Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane & Daddy started
doing the same thing that Mommy & Uncle Bill used to do when Daddy
was in the Army."

Moral: Sometimes you need to listen to the whole story before you interrupt.

"I am beginning to believe that black people, no matter where in the world they are, are cursed with a genetic predisposition to steal, murder, and create mayhem."
Leighton Levy

I disagree with Mr. Levy, although I can see how he may get that impression as an outsider looking in. I would posit that it is not race that is the determining factor, but the attitude; an attitude engendered by generations of people that have existed on the government largesse provided in a misguided attempt to provide an equality of outcome not merited by an inequality of effort. An attitude that government is there to provide for their every need or want.

The largess doesn't provide true equality of outcome, a fact most obvious to the recipiants, but it's just enough to provide for an artificial civility as long as the level is sufficient to exist fairly well without much effort, with the threat of loss of that largesse if you don't toe the government line. So what happens when government breaks down? You see the anarchy that prevails in New Orleans.

The news is all focused on New Orleans, but the fact is that there are areas that have been even harder hit by Hurricane Katrina, and the people in those areas aren't rioting/looting/robbing on anywhere near the scale we've seen in the city.
They are too busy trying to survive, and helping their neighbors to survive, to be out scouting for a new plasma screen tv.
Many of these people are just as poor and just as Black, the difference is, they have a sense of individual worth, not governmental dependence.

Want to see Parody Bloging at it's finest? Go to Blue Flypaper and prepare yourself for a wild ride into the pschye of the left; a true case of absurdity being exposed by being absurd.

I feel sorry for "True Blue", I can't IMAGINE the strain it must be to stay in character as well as she does. I mean writing the memes are easy, all you have to do is read/watch any MSM outlet and you'll know the meme du jour, but to maintain the fiction as convincingly as she does that these are her true thoughts and opinions as well is truly is truly the mark of an excellant fiction writer.

Sorry Blue, I just can't write anything mean about you, so I guess joining your "blacklist" is just a dream to be hoped for in some distant future.

Mathmatics never lie!

Have you heard these people say they gave or
will give 110%?

I've aways wondered how you could give more than a 100%.

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than
100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants
you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%?
What makes up 100% in life?
Now I know;from a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this;
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these
questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you:

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty
that, While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close,
and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass Kissing
that will put you over the top!

If you truly want to see the difference between "Progressive" and "Conservative" blogs, go read this comparison post of blogs over at The Politburo Diktat

The truly sad thing is, most "Progressives" won't see anything wrong in using a disaster encompassing such human misery to express their political feelings about the hated "BushCheneyHitlerHaliburtonOligarcy™". Any opportunity to play "Bash the President™" can not be missed, it seems.

There is enough blame to go around on ALL sectors of government in this disaster, but now is NOT the time to sort it all out. It's time for the American people to do what they do best, roll up their sleeves and set about cleaning up the mess. There will be time enough for recriminations after the job is done.

update: Heres a response to The Commisars post:
Hesiod Says:
September 2nd, 2005 at 2:12 pm
"Put up or shut the F up. WEÂ’VE raised over $100,000 for hurricane relief, scumbag. What have you losers raised?"

To which The Commisar deliciously responds:
commissar Says:
September 2nd, 2005 at 3:20 pm
"At this writing the Righties have contributed $413,000 and the Lefties (even with KosÂ’ mega-traffic) have contributed $117,000."

I applaud ALL who have given, and continue to give, and I'm not particularly interested in "who gave more" in and of itself, but I must point out that the results so far have proven the Commisars point about rhetoric vs action...

UPDATE: Here is a picture courtesy of The Rott, that I think exemplifies the "Party of Caring (for the little guy)" well. They're great on rhetoric, but always seem to come up short on meaningful RESULTS.

Chief Justice William Renquist has passed on to the Greatest Court in existance, may he be judged as he judged, and get a good seat on the Court.

Mr. President, I pray that you can also have the judgement to replace Jusice Renqist with a suitable replacement, both for the Chief Justice's position, but also for the new vacant seat.

For those interested, Here is a biography of Chief Justice William H. Rehquist. He served his country both long and admirably, may his family find comfort that he is no longer in pain; he was called serve on a Higher Court.

Update: How long does it take the Loony Left to start smearing the name of a dead Republican? In this case, 2 hours, 44 minutes.

CJ Renquist hadn't even arrived at the funeral home before Alan Dershowitz began the screed of "Activist Republican Thug"...be interesting to see who takes up the torch and carries it on from there.

A Frenchman, an American, and a Brit were all busy getting drunk in Saudi Arabia when the cops burst in. They were soon sentenced to death, but through good lawyers, the three men were able to reduce their sentence to life.

As luck would have it, it was a Saudi holiday, so the judge said, "Because it's a holiday you will each recieve 20 lashes and be let go.

It is customary to grant one wish before punishment. The Brit thinks and says, "Strap a pillow on my back." They do, but it only holds for 10 lashes.

The Frenchman sees this, and requests two pillows on his back. These only hold for 15 lashes.

The judge turns to the American and says "Because you are from such a respectable country, you get 2 wishes."

The American replies, "I wish to be flogged 100 times, not 20." The judge thinks this is very honerable and asks "And your second?"

The American answers "Strap the Frenchman to my back."

The good Chief has spent a complete combat tour each in Afghanistan AND Iraq, and he's understandably upset by some of the antics/tactics of the anti-war crowd.

Matt goes one step furthur and reminds these patchouli soaked morons of the definition of Sedition, under which a great many of these turds would certainly qualify for a large fine or extended stay in the Greybar hotel.

Thanks a lot Zippo...just HAD to pont me to yet another stupid test, didn't you?
Still Bogart isn't a bad guy to be like....

Humphrey Bogart You scored 52% Tough, 9% Roguish, 33% Friendly, and 4% Charming!

You're the original man of honor, rough and tough but willing to stick your neck out when you need to, despite what you might say to the contrary. You're a complex character full of spit and vinegar, but with a soft heart and a tender streak that you try to hide. There's usually a complicated dame in the picture, someone who sees the real you behind all the tough talk and can dish it out as well as you can. You're not easy to get next to, but when you find the right partner, you're caring and loyal to a fault. A big fault. But you take it on the chin and move on, nursing your pain inside and maintaining your armor...until the next dame walks in. Or possibly the same dame, and of all the gin joints in all the world, it had to be yours. Co-stars include Ingrid Bergman and Lauren Bacall, hot chicks with problems.

The Maine Vetereans for Peace are planning to stage a protest at the BRUNSWICK NAVAL AIR STATION on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2005. The event they're protesting? An air show by the Navy's Blue Angels Flight Exhibition Team. The goal of the Protest? : . to protest the false god idolatry of the Blue Angels Air Show, whose "ooh-&-aah"performances have one purpose: to promote badly-lagging military recruitment .to protest the obscene waste of American tax dollars to stage these Blue Angels' multi-million dollar extravaganzas . to protest Bush's immoral, monomaniacal Iraq war -- nearly 1,800 U.S. and 100,000 Iraqi civilians dead, at a cost of over $300 billion, and still counting . to protest NASB's complicity with the war machine, providing surveillance aircraft to target ground forces, which in the end cause horrendous "collateral damage" . to challenge NASB to convert to peaceful purposes, creating good-paying high-tech/industrial jobs, making products that improve lives, not end them Lets take these one at a time... 1. The Blue Angels are, indeed a good recruiting tool, but that is only part of their mission. They are also an example of excellence in the military, and a good public relations tool, "showing the colors" in shows all over the world. As far as "lagging recruitment figures", thats news to the people doing the recruiting: Enlisted Recruiting from Oct. 1, 2004 - July 31, 2005: Componant: Recruited: Goal: % Reached: Army 55,207 62,385 89 Navy 27,761 27,749 100 Marine Corps 25,006 24,491 102 Air Force 13,546 13,425 101 Army Nat. Guard 39,301 50,909 77 ArmyReserve 18,618 23,394 80 Navy Reserve 8,550 10,210 84 Marine Corps Res. 7,302 7,283 100 Air Nat. Guard 7,011 8,446 83 Air Force Res. 7,276 6,439 113 Lets look at JUNE,2005, the last month that statistics are availible for: Branch: Goal: Enlisted: %achieved: Navy 4,780 4,739 99 Marines 3,505 3,609 103 Air Force 2,087 2,099 101 Army 7,450 8,085 109 Active duty retention: All services met or exceeded their overall retention goals for July and are projected to meet their retention goals for the current fiscal year. Reserve forces retention: For July,2005, Army National Guard retention was 105 percent of the cumulative goal of 27,664, and Air National Guard retention was 109 percent of its cumulative goal of 8,552. (in other words, THOSE that are serving are STAYING) Yep! It's a TOTAL MELTDOWN!, I tell ya! 2. The Blue Angels shows are payed for by the air show sponsors, NOT the tax payers. The sponsers have to come up with enough cash to pay for the food and lodging of the entire Blue Angel team plus the fuel costs for flying all of the aircraft, including Fat Albert (the team's parts and maintenance supply/ support transportation C-130 transport),to the site of the show. 3. OK, this might be a legitimate place to protest...it is a military installation, and if your of the opinion that the war is bad, a legitimate target. 4. Again, if you are anti-military; what better place to protest than a NAS, Fort, or Base? Don't be too surprised if your seen to be the loony moonbat that you are though, turnabout IS fair play. As far as protesting the NAS from providing survellience aircraft...THAT.....IS......THEIR......MILITARY.........MISSION (did I say that slow enough for them to understand?) And that survellience helps PREVENT collateral damage, NOT increase it. When you start making inane statements, EXPECT to be called a fool. 5. THIS is the looniest one of them all. IT"S a NAVAL AIR STATION, take the military function away and there will be NO jobs whatsoever. The activities of a military base are not too applicable to most civilian purposes. So what would you convert it to? A civilian airport for private planes? Thats the ONLY realistic civilian purpose.....are there enough civilian pilot/plane owners to support it? The Left:"Boosting idiocy to it's highest possible level since 1969"; it's just for Moonbats today.

A couple of days ago, I posited in THIS POST that the Moonbats were attempting to recreate the conditions of the Viet Nam era, wherein the populace was propagandized into an ever louder dissent of what our military was doing. I contend that this was done by a MSM with an Anti-American agenda, along with the active anti-war propaganda from the academic elite. One of my resident readers from the opposite side of the aisle commented: We arent' trying to recreate the Vietnam era but rather are trying to avoid it. Unfortunately, the Doctrine of Manifest Destiny is a hard idea to kill. Posted by Karlo at August 27, 2005 08:50 PM Well, Karlo, Here is proof of my contention that it IS happening all over again. Take note of these two comments from the story: “A woman on campus had apparently learned I might be a Marine. When I told her I was, she said, ‘YouÂ’re a disgusting human being, and I hope you rot in hell!Â’ ” ~Marine Sgt. Marco Martinez~ (First Hispanic American since Vietnam to receive the Navy Cross.) AND “IÂ’ve had a few conversations about [the War on Terror] in the liberal classrooms I go to everyday,” said McCormick. “A lot of the time I just look at them and tell them that they donÂ’t have any clue what theyÂ’re talking about, because all they do is listen to liberal news. I always tell them, ‘If you donÂ’t experience something, how in the hell can you say what will happen?Â’ ” ~ Marine Cpl. Armand McCormick~(Silver Star recipient) Just as it was in "my day" in the early 70's, it seems that the peace-at-any cost crowd seem to be based in Academia, and all their protestations to the contrary, they despise the military and show nothing but contempt for those that answered the call to military service. As Mssrs Hall and Schweizer conclude: "The Left has adopted the mantra that it opposes the war but supports our soldiers. Those veterans visiting campuses tell a different story; the early fault lines forming on our nationÂ’s campuses do not portend hopeful signs." "For those who profess to embrace “diversity” and champion allowing “marginalized voices” to be heard, perhaps liberal professors, administrators, and students might learn something were they open-minded enough to listen to the heroes in their midst. Then, and only then, will they correct the tragic mistakes of the Vietnam era that valued politics more than patriots." WELL SAID!

The U.N. is more than willing to use our troops and logistics to further their ends but willingly abandon us when we need their help. Where but in the U.S. does the media broadcast wartime troop movements and manuevers then cast it's defenders as the aggressors? Posted by: Jack at August 30, 2005 09:16 AM (XGfcc) Hide Comments | Add Comment The Racism of the Anti War Movement It's really pretty amazing what you can find just following threads around the net. I started out with a humorous story about an Arkansas farmer, and about eight twists later, somehow ended up on this excellant op-ed: By Jim Forsyth, News Radio 1200 WOAI (8/28/2005) Like most Texas reporters, I have made the pilgrimage to interview Cindy Sheehan and her anti war comrades parked in front of Crawford. One of the made-for-television signs held up behind Cindy during the news event I attended was particularly disturbing. "Iraq," read the sign held aloft by two prosperous looking white women,"is Arabic for Vietnam." By holding this sign, I presume they would favor that the Iraq war end the same way the war in Vietnam ended. I also presume that this means they would not oppose the same fate for the people of Iraq that befell the people of Vietnam and Cambodia after the end of US involvement there, which was one of the more horrible in the sorry annals of twentieth century tyranny. But in 1975, we were told by the anti war crowd that, after all, they were only Asians, they probably couldn't understand democracy anyway, and knew it wouldn't work 'for them.' Its sad to see the same attitude repeated today, that its not worth the blood of white Americans like Casey Sheehan to win freedom and democracy for 'those people,' in this case, brown skinned Arab Muslims. Even if you drink every last drop of the anti war Kool Aid, even if you are convinced that President Bush was ordered by the Chairman of Halliburton to start the Iraq war and that he intentionally lied to the American people about the existence of weapons of mass destruction, the simple fact is that today, there is demonstrably more freedom for the people of Iraq and for the people of Afghanistan, some 50 million brown skinned Muslims. Yes, there is dawdling over the drafting of an Iraqi constitution, but before April of 2003, metal shredders and rape rooms awaited any Iraqi who breathed the word 'constitution.' Yes, a brutal insurgency continues to threaten the Iraqi people, an insurgency which has killed some 25,000 Iraqi civilians since April of 2003. But Saddam Hussein, even by conservative estimates, butchered 1.5 million Iraqis during his 25 years in power (not counting the one million who died in the war he started with Iran). So Saddam and his goons killed an average of 60,000 people a year, while the insurgency has killed 25,000 in two and a half years. Despite the hand-wringing over the insurgency, the devil's arithmetic would indicate that life for the average Iraq is actually safer today than it was under Saddam. But they're brown skimmed Muslims, so not worthy of America's notice, let alone America's sacrifice. President Bush is actually the greatest liberator of Muslims in history, considering that there weren't 50 million people in the entire Middle East when Saladin beat back the Crusader hordes. But to the anti war activists, providing freedom from slavery, democratic and economic opportunity to brown skinned people isn't worth the sacrifice of white Americans. Good thing Cindy Sheehan wasn't around when Lincoln was drafting the Emancipation Proclamation. I recently watched the magnificent Don Cheadle film "Hotel Rwanda" with a group of friends, certified Bush Bashing Democrats all. After it was over, the general murmur in the room was 'why didn't America do something!' to stop the carnage in Rwanda. If Cindy Sheehan were to get her way, and President Bush would be 'impeached and tried for war crimes' over his wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as she has demanded, the real losers will be the future citizens of Rwanda, and the other places where brutal dictators will have free reign to massacre people in large numbers, knowing that American leaders will pay too high a political price for them to get involved and 'do something.' And I don't think many of those places will be populated by white Europeans. Posted by: Delftsman3 at 04:22 PM | No Comments | Add Comment Post contains 679 words, total size 4 kb. Hide Comments | Add Comment Tour de France Scandal Update PARIS, France -- Lance Armstrong's record setting seventh Tour de France victory, along with his entire Tour de France legacy, may be tarnished by what could turn out to be one of the greatest sports scandals of all time. Armstrong is being quizzed by French police after three banned substances were found in his South France hotel room while on vacation after winning the 2005 Tour de France. The three substances found were toothpaste, deodorant, and soap which have been banned by French authorities for over 75 years. Armstrong's girlfriend, American rocker Sheryl Crowe, is quoted as saying "We use them every day in America, so we naturally thought they'd be ok throughout Europe." Along with these three banned substances, French authorities also physically searched Armstrong and found several other interesting items that they had never seen before, including a backbone and a testicle.

In this case, what they ordered was not quite what they got: This car was driven for 1 week before an officer noticed what the graphics company employee did on the passenger side of the car. The employee did this on his last day working for (you DON'T say!) the graphics company before he retired.
