More Typical Leftie Bullshit

Posted on July 8, 2005 by Professor Booty

So the left is having a hayday with yesterday’s bombings in London.

Two FOX News hosts apparently made a couple of completely ignorant remarks for which they should be held accountable,

Brian Kilmeade: And that was the first time since 9-11 when they should know, and they do know now, that terrorism should be Number 1. But it’s important for them all to be together. I think that works to our advantage, in the Western world’s advantage, for people to experience something like this together, just 500 miles from where the attacks have happened.”

Brit Hume: I mean, my first thought when I heard — just on a personal basis, when I heard there had been this attack and I saw the futures this morning, which were really in the tank, I thought, “Hmmm, time to buy.”

Yeah, pretty dumb, guys. Wait more than a few hours afterwards next time, could ya? Maybe even enact a 24hr rule?

If you visit a decent sized left wing blog today, you’ll probably run across at least some snark and a link to these.

But you’ll hear nothing about the two ‘moderate’ commentators who were on in the 0700PST hour of FOX’s reporting of the bombing who wasted not a minute lashing out at Bush and Blair about how ‘Look, look! Iraq has made us less safe!’ Nor will you find any link to the video of the those commentators at Media Matters like you do to Hume and Kilmeade.

Typical Leftie Bullshit

Posted on July 8, 2005 by Professor Booty

I was going to post this yesterday, but the London Underground and bus bombings kind of knocked the wind out of this tale’s sails.

But I fear not, because it’s subject was made exponentially better by remarks made in the wake of the terror strike.

Holy Shit!

Posted on July 7, 2005 by Professor Booty

Just heard the news: 45 people killed and over 1000 injured and people still trapped in the Underground in London.

Al-Qaeda is taking responsibility for them.

If you have family over there, give the a call and make sure they’re OK.

I’ve got political thoughts going through my head, but I’ll save those for tomorrow. Hold onto your spare cash to see if you may need to send it.

I may get worse before it gets better for them.

The Soundboard: Sucker for a Hook Series

Posted on July 7, 2005 by Professor Booty

Part 4: Mood Music

I was having one hell of a time figuring out what to play this week as I’m both saving certain stuff for later and waiting for some newer stuff to arrive. But after careful review of the CD rack, I decided that we’ll get into hooky mood music this week.

I’m sure that most of you have heard of the group Portishead. If you haven’t, just go to your local disc-slinger and buy their album Dummy . Don’t worry, they’re not talking about you for buying their album. Just go buy it and listen to it 4 or five times straight through. Works best on days that aren’t really nice enough to spend outside, also known as Typical Seattle Weather.

Today’s track follows very closely along the lines that Portishead lays down. But since the album it was pulled from is a debut album by the artist, it doesn’t have the flow that they’re albums do.

Don’t get me wrong, it is still very good, and definitely worth the gamble of $15. Especially the track Black Steel, but that track isn’t a mood setter unless you’re looking to get into a race war.

But enough babbling. The artist goes by the name of Tricky and the album is his first major release titled Maxinquaye. If you’ve seen the movie “The Fifth Element”, you may remember Tricky’s character as the guy who gets remotely exploded by Gary Oldman’s character at the terminal for the space cruise.

Remember that album title, you need it in a couple weeks for reference.

Overcome – Tricky

Surely, you must be joking!

Apparently she’s not and she doesn’t want me to call her Shirley ever again.

MOSCOW (AP) – NASA’s mission that sent a space probe smashing into a comet raised more than cosmic dust – it also brought a lawsuit from a Russian astrologer.

Marina Bai has sued the U.S. space agency, claiming the Deep Impact probe that punched a crater into the comet Tempel 1 late Sunday “ruins the natural balance of forces in the universe,” the newspaper Izvestia reported Tuesday. A Moscow court has postponed hearings on the case until late July, the paper said.

The probe’s comet crash sent up a cloud of debris that scientists hope to examine to learn how the solar system was formed.

Bai is seeking damages totaling 8.7 billion rubles ($300 million) – the approximate equivalent of the mission’s cost – for her “moral sufferings,” Izvestia said, citing her lawyer Alexander Molokhov. She earlier told the paper that the experiment would “deform her horoscope.”

NASA representatives in Russia could not immediately be reached for comment.

Because they were all found to be laughing hysterically on the floors of their offices.

I heard this on the top of the hour local radio news the other night and couldn’t believe it until I found it later.

After the Soviet Union fell, Russians got something new called “The Rule of Law�. It didn’t take long for one of them to get the idea to abuse it internationally.

Postal Matches

Posted on July 6, 2005 by Professor Booty

Last week and in the weeks beforehand, I have been linking to Og the Neanderpundit’s series of ‘Postal Matches’.

This weekend, Og had to cancel the series due to lack of participation.

Motherfuckin’ Independence Day weekend!

This is a sad state of affairs when one gunblogger can’t even get ten other gunnies to go to the range to see who has the most hair on their nuts and I am not happy about this.

Together with Mr. Completely, we will be restarting, rearranging, reordering and re-tasking this series. I am not going to ask for your voluntary participation. Think of it as sort of a gunblogging-mandate.

A mandate to not just talk the talk, but to walk the walk and put you money where your mouth is.

I’ve written and posted a seven-plus part series about preparedness that I’m pretty sure most have you have read. I know I get a lot of linkage from that series and I am very appreciative of every single link because I hope that folks are taking it to heart and ensuring that their household is prepared for anything untoward that may happen in the future.

Right now, Nukevet Neal is probably getting his figurative ass blasted by what is being called a “Tropical Storm� but is basically an honest to goodness hurricane. While I worry about their house and their pets, I don’t really worry about Neal and Mrs. Nukevet as he has his head securely placed onto his shoulders and is fully kitted up.

And that includes his firearms and ammo.

How about you? Are you set for what I call in non-mixed company “The Deep Shit�?

Oh, you think so? Really?

When was the last time you went to the range, bucky? Do you think you’ll be able to pop off a dozen rounds as fast as an emergency requests and actually hit what you’re aiming at? Really? From an open-sighted centerfire carbine? At 100yds?

Prove it.

Be here on Monday when I break out my newest firearm, the one I sold the Bushmaster XM-15 I built by hand for, and I’ll task ya, Sunny-Jim.

Be there or be square, ‘Rifleman’!

Must See PC

Posted on July 6, 2005 by Professor Booty

Or Mac, if you’re one of those people.

But in all seriousness, one of the Sheriff’s Deputies that works for the same department as John from Some Poor Schmuck has made a video you should really go see.

I’ve burned it to CD-R and am passing it around.

An Outsider’s Perspective

Posted on July 6, 2005 by Professor Booty

While I may have been down in the dumps for the Independence Day holiday, I tried to keep my chin up as best I could.

After reading a story like this one over at Val’s Babalu Blog, almost gives me a ‘nose-high attitude’.

“It was rather appropriate, I thought, that this family that just arrived from Cuba a few days ago was able to join us in celebrating not only Pat’s birthday, but Independence Day. And while they knew yesterday was a national holiday, they didnt really know exactly what was being celebrated. I gave them a brief explanation on the significance of the day. Told them about the Declaration of Independence and what it means to this country.â€?

Read the rest!

It’s Funny Because It’s True

Posted on July 6, 2005 by Professor Booty

OK, it’s not that funny.

Right thinking people in Portland generally complain about ideas from Seattle migrating down to their metro area. Right thinking Seattleites complain about ideas from Portland migrating up to our metro area.

The DANE points out an NRO article that shows at least one one that is definitely doing the latter.

The reason Portland is such an environmental nirvana is that heavy industry and employers generally are fleeing to adjacent counties. US 26, the ‘Sunset Highway,’ linking Portland to Washington County, is now congested -outbound- in the mornings and -inbound- in the evenings. Mass transit ridership (run by a tri-county authority) is inflated by counting ‘boardings’ instead of modeling commuting patterns (bus to transit station, light rail to 2nd transit station, bus to work, is three trips). And the real howler is the one about easing traffic congestion. The C of P is openly hostile to sensible traffic accommodation. Congestion is a planning goal. Inadequate parking for new projects is mandated by zoning codes. Complain, and the answer is, Ride the Bus.

Make sure you read the comments at the DANE’s place as well.

One thing that both Portlanders and Seattleites can agree on is that California needs to fall off the continent, and quickly. Without that goofy geographical area, at least half of the dumb ideas both of our city governemtns try to enact on us and socially engineer into us probably wouldn’t exist.
