Rudeness Unpunished

Here�s the story;

Over the weekend at CPAC, John Fund of the WSJ wandered into Blogger�s Corner and sat down at the private laptop of Adam Doverspa, RedState.Org blogger, and just started typing away.

Now, there is some speculation that Fund may have thought that the laptops were public access and not private property, but I�m pretty sure that after the short conversation with Doverspa, that misconception was cleared up.

Yet Fund continued typing for a good twenty minutes afterwards.

He then left, but came back for another bite at the apple on another blogger�s laptop.

While right-wing bloggers are scratching their heads wondering what was up Fund�s ass, left-wing bloggers are actually taking the lead in calling Fund a wanker and an assholewhich, in light of the story told, seems entirely appropriate, in my opinion.

Here is a lesson for all bloggers on both sides of the ailse:

Do not let the �real journalists� intimidate you.

If they are being rude and/or inconsiderate, make it your task to remind them that they are not our betters.

First step would have been to inform Fund that the laptop was not for public access.

If he apologizes tell him that he can continue to use the machine for $5 per minute, cash only.

Remember, the only difference between �real journalists� and bloggers in that most bloggers do not get paid to report. If they want to hold their incomes above our lack of same, make them pay a finders fee on equipment (that $5 per min is a quick $100 for Fund’s 20 minute session).

If he blows you off and/or comes back rudely, you remind him again he is trespassing on your private property, preferably with an explicative like �Ass Pirate� to get his attention.

If, once again, he does not apologize, the laptop gets closed on his apparently self-believed golden fingers.

Any further resistance is to be met with measured force.

You want an Instalanche? Get John Fund to attempt to assault you and then kick his ass.

Deliver the Weird

So you probably know that Dr. Gonzo, Hunter S. Thompson, was said to have killed himself over the weekend with a self-inflicted pistol shot to the head.

A twisted ending to a twisted existence.

Of course, the rumors are flying.

Some folks are wondering if it was bad medical diagnostic juju.

Some folks are wondering if it was Kerry�s loss in the last election cycle.

And of course, the lefties are wondering what Dr. Thompson knew that they didn�t.

Which leads me to wonder if large quantities of lefties are going to follow in his footsteps? I am not wishing for that (at least not a whole lot).

An avid reader of HST, I did not expect him to go out like a lamb, but he seemed too full of piss and vinegar to go out like this.

Watch for the good Doctor to get the full �Wellstone Treatment�* in the coming weeks.

Happy travels, Dr. Gonzo. I tip my glass to you for surviving this long. Let the peacocks roam.

*The �Wellstone Treatment� is basically the conspiracy theory that �The Bush Cabal� had someone killed.

Pimp in the Pressroom

Is it me or are you as sick as I am on this Gannon/Guckert story?

Oh no! A guy with a checkered past was allowed day passes into the White House Press Room to question the President!

Maybe the left should remember that the recently deceased admitted drug user and gun-nut, Hunter S. Thompson, was allowed to ride INSIDE THE PRESIDENTIAL LIMOSINE with Nixon. Granted, they were talking football, but exactly how many MSM reporters were reporting the answers to Gannon�s/Guckert�s questions in their publications?

Also, was Gannon/Guckert ever arrested for his ‘prostitution’? If not, why does it matter? Maybe we should have publically disclosed criminal background checks on all of the Press Roomer folks?

Oh no! He was connected to a GOP group!

Please do not forget that marriages between members of the White House staff and the White House Press Corps were not uncommon in the Clinton White House.

Over the weekend (I am to believe), Senator Joe Biden said this,

“Why isn’t every major network in the country investigating a security breach, forget anything else.�

OK Senator Jackass, just where was the security breach? Show me just once where Gannon/Guckert got in without being checked out by the Treasury Department. I’ve got my hand above my eyes and I am scanning the horizon, but I do not see anything.

Gannon/Guckert had to request a day pass every single time he sat in the Briefing Room, Senator Head-Up-Ass. That means he was checked out fully by the Secret Service.

At least is Senator Make-Up-A-Story’s mind, Gannon’s/Guckert’s greatest offence is that he just couldn�t get the Press Organization that hands out the semi-permanent and permanent passes to give him one of those.

If they had, would your high and mighty, blow-harding personage been calling it a �Breach of Security�?

I seriously doubt it.

Face it lefties, you lose. I don�t really like the fact that some chucklehead with no journalism experience got into the Press Room either. But I do not believe that this was some �Karl Rove Plant�. Rove isn�t so stupid as to use some guy with ties to homosexual prostitution ties. His guy would be a lot cleaner.

Gannon/Guckert was basically a blogger with a slant and financial backing. Imagine that! A blogger in the press room!

And would you all just knock it off with trying to tie Gannon/Guckert to the Plame leak story. You have no evidence of anything of the sort and are just using this new story to keep the old story alive for your conspiracy theory believing lemmings angry.

A Sad Note

In case you weren’t online yesterday and/or haven’t loggin onto Kim du Toit’s blog, Sgt. Adam Plumondore, the ‘Adam’ of the “Walter & Adam Fund” was killed recently in Mosul after an IED exploded near the vehicle he was riding in.

You can go here, here, and here for updated posts at Kim’s.

You can go here and read Rivrdog’s excellent eulogy for Sgt. Plumodore.

I also suggest you go here to see photos of Sgt. Plumondore’s unit during their time in Mosul Iraq.

I must say, I never met the man. But I will be meeting a number of his friends and associates very soon. Sgt. Plumodore was an assistant instructor at Boomershoot 2004 (along with Sgt. Gaya who can also be seen in the above unit photo link) and made an impression, it seems, on nearly everyone in attendance.

You can see more photos by Joe Huffman, organizer of the Boomershoot, of Sgt. Plumondore at Boomershoot 2004 here on Joe’s blog.

I seriously doubt that my work schedule will allow me to make it to the services being held for Sgt. Plumondore at Ft. Lewis. I understand that Rivrdog will be acquiring a wreath to be presented during the services. I do not know if they are taking contributions for the wreath but, if you are interested in doing so, you should contact Kim du Toit and/or Rivrdog if you wish to contribute to this or to the “Walter & Adam Fund”.

Another reason to kill all the lawyers

Watch for this to hit our shores sooner than any of us would like,

‘Immune’ criminal strikes again

Stavanger police are at their wits’ end after having yet again to release a criminal that new laws say cannot be prosecuted.

According to new rules in the Norwegian penal code, the 30-year-old offender, who has broken the law for years, cannot be arrested and jailed.

Late Wednesday night Stavanger police were involved in a car chase, but when they found out who they had caught, they had to let him go. Because the man has been declared mentally handicapped he falls outside of the criminal justice system.

The man has broken into cars and homes, committed thefts and minor drug offenses but as long as the crimes are below a certain gravity he is has an effective license to commit crime, newspaper Stavanger Aftenblad reports.

The diagnosis means that he cannot do prison time and new rules prevent him from being put into preventative custody. Mentally handicapped criminals can only be sentenced to forced care in a medical institution in the case of serious crimes according to new laws.

District attorney Tormod Haugnes said that bank robbery or arson resulting in death is necessary before people like the 30-year-old can be put away.

“Psychiatrists have asserted that he is not capable of showing guilt or understanding how to behave in society without help. So he must get help,” Elden told Stavanger Aftenblad.

Holy crap, that applies to just about every single gangbanger I have ever met. They weren�t �Mentally Handicapped�, they just had no damn morals.

Time can be cruel

But it usually takes a long, long time.

So Kyoto went into effect this week. And with it came more denouncements of the US for not ratifying it and stories of how, because we didn�t ratify it, WE�RE ALL GOING TO DIE!

Like this one, found at Ravenwood�s Universe.

Sinking Islands Cling to Kyoto Lifebuoy

Islanders on tiny Tuvalu in the South Pacific last week saw the future of global warming and rising sea levels, as extreme high tides caused waves to crash over crumbling sea-walls and flood their homes. “Our island is sinking together with our hearts,” wrote Silafaga Lalua in Tuvalu News.

Tuvalu is a remote island nation consisting of a fringe of atolls covering just 10 sq miles, with the highest point no more than 17 ft above sea level, but most a mere 6.5 ft.

Global warming from greenhouse gas pollution is regarded as the main reason for higher sea levels, now rising about 2mm (0.08 in) a year, which could swamp low-lying nations such as Tuvalu and the Maldives in the Indian Ocean if temperatures keep rising.

Sounds bad, doesn�t it?

But if you do the math, like Ravenwood did, this story and the islanders tale becomes almost laughable.

“If the sea continues rising at 0.08 inch a year, that means Tuvalu will be mostly submerged in 975 years, and will disappear entirely in 2,550 years.”

My aching sides! The Pain!

975 years? I have heard of drastic changes and that doesn�t sound very much like it.

Which, I�m pretty sure, is why Ravenwood came up with his next line,

�So in the year 4555 we can expect to read headlines like: “Tuvalu Disappears, Bush to Blame.”

As an added bonus, in the comments of the post, Acidman puts up a link debunking the entire story of the sea rising to claim Tuvalu.

The island is actually sinking into the sea, not the other way around.

Democrat Hi-Tech Scare Tactics

In their quest to prove that there is nothing wrong with Social Security as it currently sits, the Dems released a Social Security Calculator yesterday.

sscalc.JPG

The first thing I noticed about this is that they won�t show you their math, so these numbers could be, and probably are, made up or at least computed in the worst possible light the Dems thought they could reasonably get away with.

I entered my numbers three times and the final figures were all within $5 of each other, so thankfully, it does not look as if it is a random number generator.

Give it a test.

I came up just under $5000 shorter under the Bush plan than I would get the current system.

You know what, I�ll take that.

Do you know why?

Because this will be MY MONEY.

Remember, these numbers are most likely computed under the most conservative guess possible of rate of return. It is highly possible that I could get double the amount from my private account than this calculator shows. Or triple or quintuple.

That, and MY MONEY would not be subject to �The Widow Tax�.

Under the current system, if I actually make it to retirement age and then die a couple years afterwards, the Analog Wife will then then have to choose between her current SSI payment or the SSI payment I was getting before I died. Oh, and she gets a one time $250 check.

Under the Bush plan, she gets her check and everything in my private account.

Also, if you look at the very bottom of the page, in very, very, very small print, you will see this link:

�Please Click Here for Detailed Explanation of Calculations and Assumptions.�

That link takes you to the Senate Democrats website and directly to a .PDF file which reads:

�Note that the calculator is based on your average annual salary.

For example, a relatively young worker�s current salary will likely be significantly below his or her lifetime average annual income, whereas a worker close to retirement may have a current salary that slightly overstates his or her lifetime average. You can try different income levels to get a sense of how the Bush privatization plan will effect your total annual benefits. (In contrast, the Social Security Administration�s calculator is based on your earnings in a single year and then extrapolates your earnings backwards and forwards. As a result, estimates of your future benfit on the SSA calculator may differ from the ones shown here.)

In other words, this calculator is total bullshit and the Dems know it.

They just want to scare as many people as possible into being afraid of Bush plan.

Because it is all they have left.

Discover the Network

David Horowitz of FrontPageMag.com has created a new website for keeping track of your favorite leftie called Discover the Network.

It is still being fully developed, but you should go check this thing out today.

Basically, you have a selection of people to choose from or you can run a search on a name.

Once you do that, you get a short biography and the option to see the lines drawn that connect the dots to their funding sources.

My House Rep, Baghdad Jim McDermott made the list, of course. I already knew that he was affiliated with The Democratic Socialists of America, but if that only is because I blog and look into these things. My neighbors probably have no knowledge of this.

Think of it as a handy-dandy resource for connecting the dots.

And think of it as a tool that will piss the left off to no end. Watch for the debut of this thing to hit Kos and Atrios this weekend or Monday probably.

Watch them call it things like �Blacklisting� and �McCarthyism�

Watch me laugh my ass off at them because it is nothing of the sort. It is merely an informational tool.

If they had any sense of history, they would know that “blacklisting” is actually what currently happens to conservatives in Hollywood.

I heard about this site a couple weeks ago when David Horowitz was being interviewed on the Buzz Patterson Show.

I heard the Buzz Patterson Show on the Right Talk On-Line radio network.

You’ve been able to find FrontPageMag in my links section for a while. Now you will also be able to find Discover the Network and Right Talk there as well.
