Random Nuclear Strikes

So the mother of these two girls has the cable company turn off the feed to supposedly keep money in the family bank account to pay for gas.

When a daily dose of Hannah Montana became impossible, the Vance sisters knew it was time to take to the streets.

Sadie, 9, and her sister Pyper, 7, marched around downtown Salt Lake City chanting, “Lower the gas prices,” while carrying homemade signs. The sisters decided to protest after losing their favorite cable TV shows when their mother, Michelle, had to sacrifice cable TV to pay for her daily commute.

“Gas prices are too high,” Sadie said. “I just decided to come and protest so they’d go down.” 

Yeah, you know what, I’m calling bullshit on this.

First, how damn big is your cable bill that canceling it gets you gas money?

Second, what else have they given up? Does mom still get her latte every morning? How about getting rid of one of the family vehicles for a more efficient one?

Third, because I’m wondering if dad works? He was able to wheel the little chillin’s downtown for their protest on a weekday.

Lastly, these two are followers of former SLC Mayor Rocky Anderson who is one of those types who only worries about human rights abuses if the US is supposedly committing them.

Methinks they need to re-examine their priorities and quit making policy statements by lying to their daughters about how effective protests can be.

The price of gas has cause their carbon footprint to shrink. They should be proud of that alone.

Don’t the media creeps know that if you ignore these people that they’ll go away?

Racist website visitors increase

Sen. Barack Obama’s historic victory in the Democratic primaries, celebrated as a symbol of racial progress and cultural unity, has also sparked an increase in racist and white-supremacist activity, mainly on the Internet, according to leaders of hate groups and the organizations that track them.

First of all, if the media were to come to me asking if the election season was making the hits at RNS go up, I’d say yes just to piss them off.

I actually have no idea how many folks come here daily and don’t really care one way or the other. I’m glad you stop by and all, but I’m not doing this for $$$ and I don’t do it for popularity. You’ll notice, there is no hit counter here. I routinely, and usually accidentally, piss off about 10% of the readership about every three months and they never come back. Another 10% trickle in to replace them. It’s been that way since 2003, when we did have tracking software. I guestimate it is still the same by who comments.

The people who run those “Seik Help” type sites see media people coming a mile away and love to scare them by telling them that they’re exploding in membership, web hits, IQ points, etc. because it makes stories like this hit the papers.

If nothing else, they’re good at getting free publicity.

Secondly, the “organizations that track them” have absolutely no access to the numbers of hits on the asshole’s sites and can only get them from stories like this. So the SPLC type crackheads can smoke a fat wang on their statistics quoting on this.

They’re too ignorant to see that they are actually helping perpetuate the idea that the racist (bowel) movement is growing, thereby helping the groups recruit.

It is a vicious circle that begins by both parties putting their heads up their asses.
