Right As Usual

While killing time earnestly gathering news, I found this site, World's Hottest Women With Tattoos for 2007 , You mean they've been doing this for years? And there's a trend going on? Yeah. Stupidity is apparently contagious. Many of the women are rocket-scientists-in-disguise. Like Brittney Spears. And Angelina Jolie.

You need to see this naked grab for money and power . by Sen. Hillary Clinton. Newsflash, Hill! The oil companies' profits are just that, THEIRS! Last time I checked, unless a specific crime is involved, a corporation's money cannot be confiscated, EVEN if you think you have a really, really, nifty-good purpose for that money. She has to be the DUMBEST woman on the planet. I mean, just think about it. Oil resources are finite. The oil companies know about (1). That's what they pay all those geologists on staff for, to let them know where the oil is, and approximately how much of it is around. If they run out of oil, but don't develop alternatives before that time, the corporation is TOAST! So, one of the things oil companies already do it to research alternative sources of energy. They also put a little of that profit into other energy companies - like some of the alternative energy places. It's called "diversification". I know I didn't graduate f...

Hard to believe that there could be a worse person than the former President of the US, Jimmuh Carter. Why do I call him that? He broke precedent when he began publicly commenting on Presidential actions. Think of it - he's still taking money from the US, but acting contrary to our interests. He travels the world, using the cachet of his former position to intervene in foreign affairs - including secret negotiations with heads of foreign governments. The Logan Act, still on the books, specifically forbids private citizens (that's you, Jimmuh) from the following: Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States,...

From Psychology Today: Most people are surprised to learn that there are real, stable differences in personality between conservatives and liberals—not just different views or values, but underlying differences in temperament. Psychologists John Jost of New York University, Dana Carney of Harvard, and Sam Gosling of the University of Texas have demonstrated that conservatives and liberals boast markedly different home and office decor. Liberals are messier than conservatives, their rooms have more clutter and more color, and they tend to have more travel documents, maps of other countries, and flags from around the world. Conservatives are neater, and their rooms are cleaner, better organized, more brightly lit, and more conventional. Liberals have more books, and their books cover a greater variety of topics. And that's just a start. Multiple studies find that liberals are more optimistic. Conservatives are more likely to be religious. Liberals are more likely to like classical mu...

You have absolutely GOT to see this video! It's the actual speech by Rep. Wu (Do I have to mention Democrat?), who said there are Vulcans in the White House, then corrected himself to say that they were Klingons, not REAL Klingons, but faux Klingons. I feel that Oregonians were especially - NUANCED - to realize that what the House of Representatives needed, in this time of international crisis, is someone who has a breathtaking and comprehensive understanding of Star Trek trivia. Like the guys below. See? Even Sulu is laughing. REAL KLINGONS? Moron.

You know, when the story first broke about the Muslim who was rudely interrupted at prayer, then told by the gym's staff The manager told me, 'You have to respect her (the patron), but she does not have to respect your God,' " said Wardeh Sultan of Dearborn. - something about it just didn't ring true to me. I was sure that the staff would have bent over backwards to treat Ms. Sultan with respect, particularly in Detroit, where so many Muslims live. I didn't understand why the staff member would have said "you have to respect her" - the other member. Now I understand. In Front Page Magazine's story by Janet Levy: (Oy! Her supposed religious/ethnic background will allow the story to be ignored) According to Jodi Berry, executive director of Fitness USA, Wardeh Sultan was praying in front of another member’s locker when the member wanted access to her belongings inside the locker. The inconvenienced patron tried to interrupt Ms. Sultan, but s...

At SFGate.com">, a CA newspaper online , the taser incident is explored. Tabatabainejad, 23, was shocked Tuesday night after arguing with a campus police officer who was conducting a routine check of student IDs at the University of California, Los Angeles, Powell Library computer lab. Campus police say he refused to show his student ID and refused to leave the building when asked. Several things occur to me: First, other reports have said that this was technically NOT a tasing, which is a pretty potent weapon, that would likely make speech more difficult than the recording (on YouTube). That doesn't totally excuse the apparent overkill on force, it just puts it into perspective. There is absolutely no evidence that the student was targeted because of ethnicity. In fact, since the student refused to show ID, it would be difficult to prove that the campus cops even knew his ethnicity. These were campus cops, NOT LAPD. They were students with low-level orders, training, an...

Gagdad Bod, AKA One Cosmos, has some illuminating (NOT Illuminati) things to say about the far left kooks. it is very unsettling that a large segment of the population believes things about conservatives that are not only untrue, but cannot possibly be true. They are terrified of a wholly fantasized version of reality, while I am afraid of their seemingly boundless capacity to fantasize and to inhabit their malicious fantasies. The purpose of language is to communicate about reality. But what if it is not communicating reality, but fantasy? Somehow, these people are "successful" in communicating to one another (they all know exactly what the others are talking about, while you or I would say, "wwwhhhhaaaat?), and are even perversely emotionally "nourished" by the communication. It is a relief to them that others share the same fantasy--it satisfies them, fills some kind of need. But it is not a need for truth. It's like an anxious group of primitives who ...

Whatever you do, don't call on this demented POS . It's a sure bet that the majority of the country will be strongly tempted to kick his heinie to the curb, as he so richly deserves. I'm trying to picture the kind of person that would take their hatred of Bush and his crew to exploit the victims of terrorist actions in such a vile and despicable way. It's beyond me. H/T to the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiller , for alerting me to the existence of the video.
