Head on over to the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler and read his take on an excellent column by Mark Steyn.

From time to time, many of you have seen me make references to my Internet Chic. We both started our blogs at about the same time; I liked her from the get-go. I liked what she had to say (and still do), and I like that she has opinions and will express ‘em.

It was my wife who told me, “you have an Internet Chic”. I gave her the keys to this blog when I flew south for a little vacation with my wife and some friends. Key posted some good stuff, and is welcome to “come on in” anytime she wants. The door is always open.

I’ve never seen her, never heard her voice, and have had anything but electronic communications with her to this day.

I’m a man with good tastes, especially when it comes to women; just ask my sweetie. To prove it to you, go here. She has revealed herself.

I’m right again, and I love it when that happens.

My Back Door Girl - is a compliment!!!

I'm giving five old cell phones to these kids.

Their Mission Statement:

Cell Phones for Soldiers was created by two teenagers, 13 year old Brittany Bergquist and her brother, 12 year old Robbie Bergquist of Norwell Massachusetts. After reading a story about a soldier who ran up a huge phone bill calling home, the two teenagers decided to try and help. Their goal is to try and help our soldiers serving in Iraq and elswhere pay for calls home. They plan to provide as many soldiers as possible with pre-paid cell phones or calling cards. The South Shore Savings Bank in Norwell, Massachusetts set up the account and donated the first $500.00. Brittany and Robbie plan to hold yard sales and other fundraisers to raise money. 100 % of every dollar donated will go to support this effort. Their parents, Bob & Gail Bergquist, are contacting cell phone companies to help out. They are also contacting representatives of the military to put a plan in place to distribute the cell phones and calling cards. They hope to begin the distribution by the Fourth of July.

I'm on board with 'em.

Spread the word.

Following is an excerpt from the remarks made by that raving lunatic Al Gore.

...there is good and evil in every person. And what makes the United States special in the history of nations is our commitment to the rule of law and our carefully constructed system of checks and balances...what happened at the prison, it is now clear, was not the result of random acts by "a few bad apples," it was the natural consequence of the Bush Administration policy that has dismantled those wise constraints and has made war on America's checks and balances...

How in the hell does Gore expect people to believe that the situation at Abu Ghraib was caused by the Bush Administration dismantling the constraints that enforce the checks and balances of our Constitution?

Which constraints? Which checks and balances?

Below, from the National Center for Constitutional Studies are some checks and balances explained.

Someone, please tell me what has changed.

Oh Well!

I was in northern Kentucky last weekend and the Cicada attack was underway. There were millions and millions of ‘em, and the noise; one cicada is loud, but when they all start buzzing simultaneously, it’s deafening. The squealing progresses from low pitch to high pitch, a short pause and then repeats. This incessant buzzing can also be heard while driving 90 MPH with the windows down. Amazing.

It is said that a circular saw will really set 'em off...same pitch or something. I didn't try it, since the standard buzz was enough.

They fly in swarms, and when the wind blows, the dead (which are dried and crisp) fall from the trees and cover the ground, like a hailstorm.

Cicadas have a prehistoric look to them, so I guess that’s why children love ‘em so much. At least the kids in northern Kentucky do.

Anyway, I’ve known my wife for almost 14 years, been married to her for 10 of ‘em, and I’ve never, ever, heard her scream like I did on Sunday. One of ‘em dive-bombed her and became entangled in her hair; and when she brushed it off, it flew down her blouse and started flapping and squealing. She went ballistic. I’ve also never seen her rip off her shirt in her sister’s back yard. That was funny. Her family thought I was killing her.

It was a good trip; especially driving home through the mountains of West Virginia.

And speaking of West Virginia – “Daddy, get off me, you’re crushing my Marlboros.”

Al Gore said Bush has brought us humiliation in the eyes of the world, and brought deep dishonor to our country and built a durable reputation as the most dishonest President since Richard Nixon.

What world is he living in? What about his former boss, the rapist, the one who lied under oath? The one who was impeached? The one who spent millions of dollars lobbing cruise missiles at a baby formula factory in an attempt to distract Americans from the fact he was getting blowjobs in the oval office. His former boss is dishonesty defined.

What a sleeze bag.

"How dare they subject us to such dishonor and disgrace! How dare they drag the good name of the United States of America through the mud of Saddam Hussein's torture prison!" Gore bellowed.

This guy has no clue.

Just want to make sure we're clear on this.

The liberal is continually angry, as only a self-important man can be, with his civilization, his culture, his country and his folks back home. His is an infantile world view. At the core of a liberal is the spoiled child -- miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.

I am not a religious person. I do not have a horse in this race. But everywhere I turn in the world today, I see Radical Islam -- and not the United States -- at war with everybody. And I have no choice but to conclude that this is not a blip or a hiccup. It is a growing threat. And it needs to be met head-on. Right now.

Whatever happens…I want everyone to know…I’ve only shot seven dogs, ever.

Check out the last comment on An Orininal Thought?

Excerpt:

"If you think you have an original thought or idea, and read about it in a book or magazine, does that article deminish or negate your idea (or thought) as original?"...

Very Interesting.

I just experienced a storm that damn near blew the peppers off the plants, and the squirrels out of the trees.

Awesome.

I'm just saying!

I understand we killed a bunch of people, including women and children, in an attack in western Iraq. They say it was a wedding party. We say they were foreign fighters.

How convenient, using a “wedding party” as a cover for hiding amongst women and children. Cowards!

They say partygoers had fired into the air in a traditional wedding celebration. (at 3:00 am.?) They say American troops have sometimes mistaken celebratory gunfire for hostile fire. We’ve told them, if you shoot at us, you will have to suffer the consequences. DO NOT shoot at our planes and helicopters. Repeat 100 times. Stop capping ‘em off at weddings. Repeat 100 times. Aim at the ground. Repeat 100 times.

The Arab media sucks worse than ours. These people must be slower learners than I thought.

If I was flying over Iraq, and detected fire in my direction, I’d shoot back. Wouldn’t you?

This is war. Dumb Asses.

Allah or Jesus?, by Rick Mathes ... a leader in prison ministry

Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for Maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training Session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their belief systems.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.

After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: "Please,correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world. And, that by killing an infidel, which is a command to all Muslims, they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?"

There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, "Non-believers!"

I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can go to Heaven. Is that correct?"

The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He sheepishly replied, "Yes."

I then stated, "Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering Protestants to do the same in order to go to Heaven!"

The Imam was speechless. I continued, "I also have problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me. Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah who tells you to kill me in order to go to Heaven or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to Heaven and He wants you to be with me?"

You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame. needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with Rick's way of dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslim's beliefs.

I think everyone in the US should be required to read this, but with the liberal justice system, liberal media, and the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized. Please pass this on to all your e-mail contacts. This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well known leader in prison ministry.

You Gotta Love Her!

That is all.

Awesome Piece of Machinery

In Atlas Shrugged Ayn Rand wrote that John Galt's enemies "did not want to live; they wanted him to die."

This is a very very good post.

I, for one, am proud to be an American, and I will show support for my country at all times. If anyone, ever, told me that showing loyalty for my country “might be viewed as confrontational or insulting or cause embarrassment" to people from other nations; they’re going to experience my wrath.

Mike Moran, a veteran former spokesman for the United States Olympic Committee who has been retained as a consultant to advise athletes how to behave should be stripped of U.S. citizenship, and deported. He is a traitor, and should be ashamed of himself.

It's not just about our flag, it's about our "colors". If you get my drift.

Unfuckingbelievable.

Here’s the link. What are people thinking about?

Here is a "fisking" of Kerry's testimony before the U.S. Senate in 1971, where he makes numerous false allegations about his country and the conduct of our soldiers in Vietnam. He also acts as an agent for the enemy, recommending immediate, unconditional surrender. John Moore, a Vietnam Veteran, considers John F. Kerry's testimony to be unforgivable. one of the most damaging actions of any American from that period, and a look at the true nature of this treacherous man.

If you've read all the other articles on this blog on this subject, you will only find a few new things here.

If you get your information about Kerry from the mainstream press or the Democratic side of things, this posting should shock you.

Two moves - Black (click picture to enlarge)

Fool's mate is a special case of checkmate in the game of chess. Chess is not a game of chance; it is based solely on tactics and strategy. Nevertheless, the game is so complex that even the best players can't consider all contingencies. There are a few slight variations on the pattern - White might play f4 instead of f3 or move the g-pawn before the f-pawn, and black may play e6 instead of e5.

This is notable as being the shortest possible game ending in checkmate.

Shorter games have occured when a player resigns, agrees to a draw, or forfeits due to not showing up.

You know what I love about the game of chess? No luck, period. No dice.

It is, what it is.

Is there a connection between Nicolas Berg and Zacarias Moussaoui, or is it a coincidence? Supposedly, Moussaoui had the password to one of Berg’s email accounts.

What are the chances of this, or that they had ever even met?

This is too strange.

My wife has food allergies. I don’t mean a little rash and some itching; I mean Anaphylactic Shock.

We’ve been married for ten years, and three years into our marriage; she just “grew into them”. We had just moved from Tennessee to Georgia.

After five trips to the emergency room, in three weeks, and numerous visits to several Allergists, they still didn’t have a clue. She was keeping a journal of everything she ingested, by amounts and time.

At first, they thought she was suffering from a phenomenon called “Exercise Induced Anaphylaxis”, which is caused (they believed in her case) by eating (1) lettuce, or (2) celery, within thirty minutes prior to any aerobic exercise. I’m not making this up.

After this theory didn’t pan out, she had the full battery of tests. The doctors tortured my wife. They pricked her back and arms (with needles infected with the genetic grunge of food groups and everything known to grow in the environment) hundreds of times in an effort to cause a reaction.

Well, they got one. Actually, they got several.

It was determined she is allergic to Soy, Peanuts, Pecans, and just about every type of pollen known to man. So, for the environmental stuff, they made up a batch of special serum, unique to her physiology. She had to receive injections of this concoction twice a week. She said, depending on who administered the shot, that it either hurt, or hurt like hell. When we moved from Georgia to North Carolina, she had the full battery of tests again, and the results were different from the Georgia tests. She was allergic to more, and different, environmental things. This is Voodoo, so she weaned herself; no more injections, and all is well.

Food is a different matter altogether. Still - no soy, peanuts, or pecans. Forget the peanuts and pecans; do you realize what they put soy in? Just about everything, for example, it’s in the chocolate made in PA, and 99% of all “store bought” breads, tomato sauces, ice cream, etc. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that it is in just about everything you buy at a grocery store. If you don’t believe me, read the labels, you will be amazed.

Needless to say, this forced a major lifestyle change:

The Bad:

It is very difficult to eat out. We must go to a restaurant where there is a real chef who understands the problem, and is willing and able, if necessary, to “whip up something special” for her. It also helps if the servers understand. On a side note, I’ve learned to call ahead.

This holds true for eating at someone’s house. The constant explaining gets old. Most people have never heard of food allergies or anaphylactic shock. They think there’s something wrong with her (a disease or something), and that makes me angry.

The Good:

We cook everything all the time, so we’ve gotten incredibility good at it.

We eat better, so we feel better.

We don’t eat any fast food. Zero.

We’ve learned how to travel with food. I mean driving, and plane tripping. Believe it or not, this is very important. Planning ahead is key to a successful mission.

In conclusion:

Thank God they don’t put soy in beer, wine or whiskey.

…and the Bottom Line is: We can always find the good, in the bad and the ugly.

Anyway, this is a cool link.

It updates every 60 seconds, and it is interesting to see how far it travels in such a short time.

I watched the entire Berg video, and I feel everyone should do the same. Why? Because this is the harsh reality we live in today. People need to understand what we’re up against. What civilization, as we know it, is facing. Sometimes, rage is good. Right now is one of those times.

It is Crunch Time, but we do have a choice.

The IslamoFascists want to kill us. They will kill us all, if we give them the opportunity. We can either fight them on their own turf, or we can fight them in American streets. If we don't stop them overseas, life as we know it will cease to exist. But, one thing is for certain; we must fight this war, one place or another.

It’s our choice to make.

"Frankly, I don’t wish that fate on my worst enemy."

This is so true...

Install It!

Here it is.

I understand that militant Palestinian groups are holding hostage the remains of six Israel Defense Forces soldiers killed in Gaza City on Tuesday. Their demands are: Israel will have to immediately withdraw from the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City.

WTF - how sick is that?

I say: Arafat (and every coward hiding in his compound) should be dead by dawn, and the neighborhood of Zeitoun leveled. Any who resist, will be with Allah. Good riddance.

I cannot begin to describe my rage.

These Islamofascists are PURE EVIL, and we must do whatever is necessary to stop them. We are at war, and the goal in war is to destroy the enemy. This war is unlike any other; there will never be any surrender, that is, unless Kerry is elected. The radical extremist followers of Islam, and notice I said “radical extremist”, will never stop killing, or surrender, until everyone on earth is a follower of Islam, or dead. I’m afraid we’re going to have to kill ‘em all. So be it, they started it.

We must reverse our policy on the targeting of mosques, and if we know they’re inside, we blow ‘em the hell up. After all, it’s just a building. If we have to kill a bunch of innocent women and children in the process…too bad…this is war. They kill innocents every day, and these masked, cowardly, scum of the earth have always used women and children as human shields. We must show them that we can play by their rules.

If they flee across the borders of other countries, they should be pursued and killed. If we know they are receiving support and aid from other regimes, the leaders of these regimes should be dealt with, and I do not mean sanctions.

We Must Do Whatever Is Necessary To Win

My wife is a planner, that’s for certain. She’s also sweeter than honeydew vine water, but that story is for a different time.

As we anxiously await the arrival of a new puppy, her brain is processing on full tilt boogie. She has “puppy proofed” the house. Trust me, this dog will not go where we don’t want it. Blockades, razor wire, mine fields, gates…hell, the only thing I’m missing are checkpoints manned by armed Terminators. (Eventually, this will be an “outside dog”)

I’m good with all of this…I have five computers, and all the associated peripherals, cables, etc. in my office…so the last thing I need is a puppy chewing up all of this shit.

BUT in my kitchen, is a new HUGE ASS trash can. It’s like one of several we use at the beach, which will hold about 10 cases of beer cans.

There is absolutely no way a full grown Dachshund, much less a puppy, could ever hope to access the garbage or turn the container over. I mean, the damn thing weighs about 800 lbs. full, and I’ll need a two-wheeler and a crane just to “take out the trash”.

Well, I guess, overkill is good sometimes.
