Moron number 1

Nathan Alan Winkler (no relation to Fonzie)

This rocket scientist chased Michelle Fernandez around Tampa for 4 miles and tried to run her off the road while holding up an anti-Bush sign, police said.
He was freed on $2,000 bail early Wednesday on a charge of aggravated stalking, which carries up to five years in prison.

Moron number 2

Barry M. Seltzer (no relation to the water)

SARASOTA, Fla. — A motorist who told police he was exercising his "political expression" was jailed Wednesday on an aggravated assault charge alleging he tried to run down U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris and a group of re-election campaign supporters.
Witnesses told police a silver Cadillac sped through an intersection and hurtled onto a sidewalk, heading straight toward Harris before swerving at the last minute and driving off.

Guess how they found our second moron.

Witnesses gave the car's license plate number to police, and they tracked it to Barry M. Seltzer, 46, of Sarasota, a registered Democrat.

In the words of Michael Corleone, "I gotta come home to THIS !"

OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON AIRING OF TSUNAMI PARODY SONG

HOT97 regrets the airing of material that made light of a serious and tragic event. We apologize to our listeners and anyone who was offended.

Both HOT97's program director and Miss Jones issued on-air apologies on Monday stating that the material was offensive and should not have been aired.

HOT97 takes pride in its community involvement and in the last few weeks has joined with broadcasters nationwide to raise money for victims of the Tsunami. Our relief effort will result in a substantial cash donation.

So here is the back story, some rap station in NY played a parody song regarding the Tsunami.

Listen to the song here.

And apparently all hell broke loose, I think what upsets me the most is that the damn song is not even that funny, no its horrible, Jesus its horrible. They should be fired for just producing a shitty song.

As a fan of Opie and Anthony, I know the cringe feeling of knowing that you are listening to something that could very well be end of a career.

As far as the nonsense of the other side of the coin, the exploitation of this by various New York congressmen calling for federal fines, they are missing the point.

The song itself was crude and in bad taste but it DID NOT break any FCC guidelines regarding brodcast standards. In case your wondering, hate speach IS covered under our First Amendment.

As much as it offends, calling people chinks is A OK.

Powell To Resign As Head Of FCC

2005-01-25T01:49:00.000-05:00

The agency under Powell became a cultural force, responding to an unparalleled number of complaints about the coarsening nature of radio and television broadcasts with a fusillade of proposed fines -- more than $8.5 million during his four years as chairman.

I never really understood the hyprocacy of Michael Powell, Oprah Winfrey could have 13 year old girls on her show talking about giving out blow jobs, but radio personalities like Opie and Anthony and Stern were fined excessive amounts for saying things like, "I want to f her in the a"

Michael Moore's Bodyguard Arrested on Airport Gun Charge

NEW YORK — Filmmaker Michael Moore's bodyguard was arrested for carrying an unlicensed weapon in New York's JFK airport Wednesday night.

Police took Patrick Burke, who says Moore employs him, into custody after he declared he was carrying a firearm at a ticket counter. Burke is licensed to carry a firearm in Florida and California, but not in New York. Burke was taken to Queens central booking and could potentially be charged with a felony for the incident.

Moore's 2003 Oscar-winning film "Bowling for Columbine" criticizes what Moore calls America's "culture of fear" and its obsession with guns.

Yup, he's a dick.

The Indonesian government yesterday showed its appreciation to U.S. soldiers who have been risking their lives helping tsunami victims by ordering them to get out of the country by the end of March.

"Three months are enough," Vice President Jusuf Kalla told the official Antara news agency. "In fact, the sooner [they leave] the better."

This is why I don't give money to any of these so called charities, I think I am just as caring and giving as the next person, but there are more pressing domestic issues that need to be dealt with.

Yeah, the Tsunami was horrible, Yeah the lost of life was insurmountable, Yeah the video was pretty damn cool to look at but to open my wallet to help, Hahh fuck that.

Do you know why there was no lost of livestock? Because cows and horses don't sit on the beach with a camcorder going, "Hey, thats a big fucking wave."

Why is it that when the shit hits the fan all of these fucked up ass backwards third world piece of shit countries turn to us first for a hand out?

I'm waiting for "Tsunami Aid" at Giants Stadium with Bruce Springsteen, Tracy Chapman (Bet you're wondering where the hell she and her fast car have been) and some sort of half assed british rock band. And you know what, I won't be going to that either.

So to the ungratefull Indonesian goverment, next time when the big wave comes, duck, you bunch of useless pricks.

Myopic Zeal

2005-01-10T19:27:00.000-05:00

NEW YORK (Reuters) - CBS News fired four employees on Monday after an independent report critical of legendary anchor Dan Rather found a "myopic zeal" led the network to disregard basic journalism principles when it aired a faulty story on President Bush's military service record.

The panel was convened after a Sept. 8, 2004, report by Rather on the "60 Minutes II" news program claiming Bush won special treatment in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War. It found CBS failed to determine the accuracy of key documents used in the report.

CBS then waged a "strident" defense rather than probe the heart of the matter, it said. It allowed the same staff who produced the original report to produce follow-ups, it said.

"These problems were caused primarily by a myopic zeal to be the first news organization to broadcast what was believed to be a new story ... and the rigid and blind defense of the segment after it aired despite numerous indications of its shortcomings," said the panel, headed by former U.S. Attorney General Dick Thornburgh and Louis Boccardi, retired head of the Associated Press.

Twelve days after the segment aired, CBS News retracted it and Rather apologized, saying they were duped by bogus documents. Rather, 73, later said he would step down as anchor on March 9, his 24th anniversary in the job.

Must suck to work for CBS right about now.

So Randy Johnson IS a dick.

Randy Johnson got a little physical on the way to his New York Yankees physical. The Big Unit put his long right arm up to block a camera from WCBS-TV on Monday after he left his Manhattan hotel.

Johnson, who was accompanied by Yankees director of team security Jerry Laveroni, made contact with the camera, station spokeswoman Audrey Pass said.

"Get out of my face, that's all I ask," Johnson said, according to a video of what occurred, which was posted on the station's Web site.

"No cameras," Laveroni said.

"Don't get in my face," Johnson then said. "I don't care who you are. Don't get in my face."

"I'm just taking a picture," said the cameraman, identified by the station as Vinny Everett.

Responded Johnson: "Don't get in my face, and don't talk back to me, all right."

Don't talk to me? yeah nice way to endear yourself to us New Yorkers, I hope you break your wrist while tripping on a bucket of baseballs at spring training you dick.

I hate the MSM with a passion, the same passion and distain I hold for some hippy freak who spouts shit about how his liberties are being violated because he is not free to be a dick.

The last few days we have been inundated with visual images of the catastrophe that overtook the Asian Islands and with all this, with the close to eighty thousand dead what do the headlines read?

12 Americans perish

Goddamn are we that selfish as a society that, that’s the best headline the media can come up with, and if I hear again about how some third rate underwear model survived the tsunami I will personally go to her house and drown the bitch myself.

And if I see another video of another fat ass tourist wheeling around his luggage with that, “Aw, shucks our vacation is ruined, ah… lets head back to L.A. and get some sushi” look, I will personally fly to LA and drown that fucker too after that C list underwear model, or maybe before depending on my itinerary and if the airlines don’t lose my luggage or cancel my flight because of some Microsoft windows meltdown or half the airline calling in sick.

No more “Miracle Baby” headlines, when the baby pictured is some Arian looking fucker, no more local news stories about how couple so and so from Long Island WERE supposed to be in Thailand but they missed their plane and how God saved them. NO God didn’t save you, your lazy ass kept hitting the snooze button, fuck god thank Toshiba.

I don’t want to read about all these dinky organizations that are trying to use this tragedy to generate revenue, when if you read the fine print you get some shit about how .0005 cents from every 100 dollars actually is going to Thailand, the rest is to cover the celebrity spokesperson and the company’s CEO’s salary. You want to donate money, give to the RED CROSS period.

What the fuck is next, commemorative snow globes? Look honey, shake it up, wee !! look at that tiny village get washed away, but you know this snow globe is filled with the actual water from the actual ocean that slammed into Thailand.

I don’t want to see that little 10:15 news teaser, “Can a tsunami hit New York” more at 11pm. The answer is NO a big fat fucking hairy NO, unless someone drops at least 10 thousand atomic bombs into the Atlantic in the same spot, or if a meteor hit, I can guarantee you, you’re going to be safe.

Tidal Waves and Tsunami's

2004-12-27T14:33:00.000-05:00

Tsunami is a Japanese word with the English translation, "harbor wave." Represented by two characters, the top character, "tsu," means harbor, while the bottom character, "nami," means "wave." In the past, tsunamis were sometimes referred to as "tidal waves" by the general public. The term "tidal wave" is a misnomer; although a tsunami's impact upon a coastline is dependent upon the tidal level at the time a tsunami strikes, tsunamis are unrelated to the tides.

Tides result from the imbalanced, extraterrestrial, gravitational influences of the moon,sun, and planets. The term "seismic sea wave" is also misleading. "Seismic" implies an earthquake-related generation mechanism, but a tsunami can also be caused by a nonseismic event, such as a landslide or meteorite impact.

Merry Christmas

2004-12-24T09:47:00.000-05:00

Merry Christmas everyone.

Ahh... It must be Christmas in Staten Island.

2004-12-21T16:23:00.000-05:00

For our non-New Yorkers, Staten Island is where New York City, since the 1930's accumlated the city's garbage. Everyonce in a while the residents are up in arms over the stench, which amuses me because if you're going to build a home I would think keeping it away from a dump would be one of it's key features.

Nevertheless, Staten Island is home to our more colorfull residents, think Mafia wannabee's and blue collar mechanics.

So when I read this, I wasn't suprised.

Preschool brawl gives Christmas spirit the heave-ho
A dispute over seats at an elementary school play erupts in a brawl that results in two arrests. Great Kills residents Venus Guerrieri, 59, and her 29-year-old son, Charles H. Balducci, are arrested on the grounds of St. Clare’s Preschool on Nelson Avenue in Great Kills after the disagreement escalates into violence that leaves one mom, the wife of a retired police officer, injured.

Poll shows U.S. views on Muslim-Americans

2004-12-17T23:49:00.000-05:00

Nearly half of those surveyed say some rights should be restricted.

A recent survey by Cornell University found that found 44 percent of Americans favor at least some restrictions on the civil liberties of Muslim Americans.

Ok, here is my list of people that should have their civil liberties restricted.
- Crazy hippy Hawk watchers
- Anyone who uses the words, "Bushilter" or "nazi" in everyday conversation.
- Anyone who is still bitching about the Kerry loss.
- Anyone who believes what is written in the New York Times is true.
- Fans of Dan Rather.
- The entire city of San Francisco.
- College kids who carry "End Capitalism now" signs while wearing their Gap shirts, Old Navy Pants and brand new Nike's. while downloading songs on their Ipod's.
- Anyone who's whole life is dedicated to watching the Scott Peterson trial.
- Anyone whose whole blog is a mess of get rid of Rumsfield stories cut and pasted from Salon.
- The entire staff of Salon.com
- The jerk off Met management that green lighted the Pedro Martinez trade.
- And finally, people that know me that say, “Season’s greetings” It’s fucking MERRY CHRISTMAS, asses, you know the birth of freaking Christ, the reason for the fucking holiday in the first place.

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — Usama bin Laden take note: You wouldn't be safe in Costa Rica. A startled taxi driver shot and wounded a jokester wearing a plastic mask of the Al Qaeda leader, police said Tuesday.

Leonel Arias, 47, told police he was playing a practical joke by donning the Bin Laden mask, toting his pellet rifle and jumping out to scare drivers on a narrow street in his hometown, Carrizal de Alajuela (search), about 20 miles north of San Jose.

Now if that happend in the States, oh lordy, the driver would have been charged with some nonsence crime, the family of the shot man would be on CNN pleading that he didn't have to get shot because he always is playing some sort of practial joke. The man shot would have sued the cab company, the gun maker and the makers of the Bin-laden mask.

Oh yeah, and a bunch of dirty hippy freaks would have been waiting nearby to see that no Hawks were injured in this shooting.

Newark Airport Screeners Spot -- Then Lose -- Fake Bomb

NEWARK, N.J. -- Baggage screeners at Newark Liberty International Airport spotted -- and then lost -- a fake bomb planted in luggage by a supervisor during a training exercise.

Despite an hours-long search Tuesday night, the bag, containing a fake bomb complete with wires, a detonator and a clock, made it onto an Amsterdam-bound flight. It was recovered by airport security officials in Amsterdam when the flight landed several hours later.

I was back in the room relaxing after a long day of conferences and there was a knock on the door, I really thought it was the hubby coming upstairs for some afternoon delight, but to my suprise it was a young man by the name of Javier.

Well Javier gave me his card and introduced himself as our host and that at the request of my husband he was to take me down to the shops to find some outfits to wear for dinner. Me being half a retard I said I don't have that kind of money to shop.

With this silly grin he said, no its on the casino compliments of the Borgata.

The guy lives off his "7 dirty words" bit, he hasn't said anything slightly amusing since 1978, but people still flock to his shows then leave dumbfounded. "In Vegas, you don't get the hardcore fans who follow what you do. It's like betting on a craps table. Am I gonna get a good audience or am I gonna get these dopes who wander in with a coupon, wearing short pants and scratching their nuts?"

Carlin blew his stack at the MGM Grand, which he says fired him because his act, which includes a 35-minute riff on suicide, had gotten "too dark."

Santa Fight !!

2004-12-11T18:04:00.000-05:00

Speaking of fight club.

The world's biggest gathering of Santa Clauses has ended in a mass brawl.

CS spray and batons had to be used to break up the fighting Santas.

Some 4,200 people dressed as Father Christmas gathered in a small Welsh town for a charity festive fun run.

But it turned into festive fisticuffs after some of the Santas headed to the pub for a seasonal tipple.

The goodwill evaporated, to be replaced with around 30 Santas swapping punches.

Five St Nicks were nicked by police.

A Dyfed Powys Police spokeswoman said: "A very successful Santa Run day was spoilt by the drunken behaviour of a number of local individuals who managed to consume too much alcohol and became involved in a serious public order incident.

First rule of Santa fight club... Don't talk about Santa fight club.

LIMA, Peru — New Yorker Lori Berenson faces 11 more years behind bars in Peru after a human-rights court upheld her 20-year sentence for collaborating with Marxist rebels, President Alejandro Toledo said yesterday.

Stupid bitch wanted to play with the big boys.

Family members and rights groups say Peru has violated the 35-year-old Berenson's rights, holding her in inhumane prison conditions in the cold, windswept Andes. She was not given a fair trial and evidence from her military trial was improperly used in her civilian trial, they say.

If anyone who saw "Midnight Express" can attest, never fuck around in a country that's well... not your's. You want to play liberal do gooder don't bitch when they haul your ass to their worst prison in the Andes mountians, you are being made an example of... understand that.

Berenson, held in Peru since her arrest in 1995, was first tried by a hooded military judge. She was convicted of treason as a leader of the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement in 1996, accused of helping to plot an attack on Congress, and jailed for life. That conviction was overthrown in 2000.

Tupac Shakur? Isn't he a dead rapper? Ok so you are some strung out MIT student who has a bug up their ass to help the poor people of Peru, you know what you join the peace corps, not try to overthrow the government.

Baseball and Steroids.

2004-12-03T06:26:00.000-05:00

Before I begin I just have to say that I can give 2 shits about the Yankees, Jason Giambi and any other steroid freak who would risk permanent damage to their bodies or possible death, just ask Lyle Alzado, no wait you can’t, about the ravages of steroid abuse.

So I open up the New York Post today and there is not one but 2 opinion pieces regarding how Jason Giambi testified to a San Francisco grand jury about his now no longer alleged steroid abuse.

Both pieces call for his head, for him to be fired, fined, dismissed, blackballed, or what ever the fuck they have in mind. The words “Integrity for the game” were uttered both times, along with the words, “pride” and “pinstripes”

What a fucking joke, baseball lost its integrity with inter-league play, wild card teams and 9 pm starts for the World Series, these scribes forget one important point when they mention Jason Giambi and Barry Bonds. Steroid use is NOT IILLEGAL in Major League Baseball, yes that’s correct, sure contracts are cleverly worded like this

players may not conduct themselves in a detrimental manner or engage in illegal activities.

It’s a standard clause, mostly for cases of substance abuse or gambling but not steroids, in fact the truth is the owners do not want steroids banned fully, it’s like the Army, don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t get caught. Baseball owners know that people do not show up to the park to watch 1-0 pitching duels, there is soccer for that.

Owners want longer, farther, bigger, flashier homeruns, and that’s the bottom line. When Barry Bonds comes to your park the right field seats sell quicker than the seats behind home plate, to be hypocritical and spout this higher than though bull shit about how the players taking performance enhancing substances should not be allowed to play the game is just… well… bullshit, full heaping loads of it.

Most people with half a brain know the side effects of abusing steroids, including shrunken pee pee’s and man tits, but they need that “edge” . Fucking Babe Ruth hit 70 home runs on beer and hotdogs but Bonds needs his juice to hit home runs in hitter friendly parks.

Baseball, like most things, is entertainment to me, with the exception of degenerate gamblers most people just root… root… root… for the home team and go on with life.
If you’re a player and want to hit the juice, god-speed but just remember Lyle Alzado.

Target May Face Backlash on Salvation Army

2004-12-02T15:30:00.000-05:00

MINNEAPOLIS -- A backlash could be brewing against Target Corp. after it decided to ban Salvation Army bell-ringers and their red kettles from its store entrances this holiday season.

The company announced the decision months ago, but the criticism didn't start to mount until Salvation Army officials recently noted the problems it could cause to their fund raising plans, and shoppers noticed the bell ringers' absence.

I do 100 percent of my shopping online, last night I finished my gift purchasing needs at 2 am in my underwear, so this Target thing doesn't really affect me, but I am torn.

Target clearly has a "No solicitation" rule and although The Salvation Army is a noble cause, rules are rules are rules.

There aren't bell ringers infront of Home Depot or Circuit City, but I don't see stupid emails from people with AOL accounts wanting me to read this and what... feel sorry, start a grass roots boycot.

Target donates more than $100 million a year to charity and already contributes to the Salvation Army through the United Way.

In addition, Target is a member of the Salvation Army's Web shopping site, http: www.kettleshop.org, which generates donations to the Salvation Army based on purchases from participating retailers.

100 million bucks, that is not peanuts... but I will leave the scam that is the United Way for another day.

A hero firefighter who risked his life rescuing his fellow New Yorkers at the World Trade Center has died fighting his country's enemies in Iraq.

Army National Guard Sgt. Chris Engeldrum — a Gulf War veteran and former city cop — was killed by terrorists who detonated a car bomb as he rode in a convoy outside Baghdad on Monday.

My Soldier is a program that puts politics aside and lets U.S. soldiers know that someone back home cares. When a person enrolls in the My Soldier program, they agree to adopt a soldier. They receive a “starter kit” containing guidelines for letter writing and care package preparation, a red My Soldier bracelet, and a specially designed My Soldier baseball hat to include with the first letter they send to their deployed United States Armed Serviceperson. The first letter/care package they send is addressed to their soldier's platoon contact who then distributes it to their soldier. The soldier then replies and direct correspondence begins (about 80% of soldiers respond, but 100% appreciate getting the letters). The program is free.

Uproar over new JFK game

2004-11-24T07:56:00.000-05:00

Because of the overwhelming response to the new JFK Reloaded game, where you are able to reenact the Kennedy assasanation through the eyes of Lee Harvey Oswald the game makers are currently programing some more Kennedy games for release.

The Ted Kennedy driving game - You're Ted, you're hammered, you just dumped your car in lake Chappaquiddick. Do you save Mary Joe or go home and sleep it off... you decide.

The JFK Jr. flying game - You have limited flight training and poor visibility as an added surprise you have your bitching wife and her sister in the plane with you, do you try to make a safe landing at Martha's Vineyard or dump that puppy in the middle of the Atlantic.

The Michael Skakel golfing game - You're in a tree mastubating and see your cute playmate Martha Moxely, use your golf club to commit a brutal rape and murder, then try to drop the Kennedy name to get off.

The Joe Kennedy Lobotomize your daughter game - You got the whole 'moonshine' thing cornered, now you have political ambitions, just one problem your slightly retarted daughter Rosemary. Try to have her lobotomy in Washington D.C and then wisk her away to Wisconsin without anyone noticing.

The William Kennedy Smith game - After you have completed the Ted Kennedy game you get the bonus William Kennedy Smith game, you're drinking it up in with uncle Teddy in Palm Beach, meet the girl, rape her on the beach, get the major media outlets to name her and discredit the victim. Extra bonus points if your uncle, walking around the compound in his underwear, catches you in the act.

The Joseph P. Kennedy WWII bomber game - Fly a cargo plane filled with explosives through hostile Germany, oh yeah your plane is on fire and you have only seconds to eject.

The Robert F. Kennedy nepotism game - Use your brothers connections to get a cushy Attorney General's job, piss off the mob, the Cubans, the Republicans and the Unions then try to run for president without Sirhan B. Sirhan noticing.

That whole fucking family is a disgrace.

The election is over. The fight is not.

Gotta give the left credit, they got sticktoittivness, you just want to tussle their collective heads and let them be on their way.

Bush's election is bad for the US, and even worse for the rest of the world. But elections are only one part of democracy. We need to think strategically about direct action, learn from a rich history of nonviolent activism, and develop new tactics to take on this administration.

Because as we have seen the old tactics just plain sucked ass.

Let's start from the start: Inauguration Day.

Look, the moonbats have 4 more years to perfect their chants and slogans and stilt walking skills.

On January 20th, 2005, we're calling for a new kind of action. The Bush administration has been successful at keeping protesters away from major events in the last few years.

Yes, you want to pound your head in the wall too and grab him by his throat and yell, "It's because of terrorists, you dumb fucking jerk" but they won't understand and in the end you just have one more liberal gasping for air bitching that you violated his civil rights.

We're calling on people to attend inauguration without protest signs, shirts or stickers. Once through security and at the procession, at a given signal, we'll all turn our backs on Bush's motorcade and continue through his speech and swearing in. A simple, clear and coherent message.

And then when I give the signal we are all going to cough, then drop our pencils, and if we have a fire drill I ain't going back to class.
I guess he hasn't gotten that whole, the majority of Americans you know, like Bush, I'ts late... *mumbling* fucking moonbat jerks *mumbling*
Go here if you care.

Arafat nephew: No poison found

Byron Calvert, 33, leans back in his chair, smiling and snacking on veggies. Calvert is a mountainous man with a swastika tattoo, a prison record and a racist dream. He runs Panzerfaust Records, a five-year-old company that has quickly become one of the top "white power" record labels in the country.

The white-power movement is looking for young people like Tom Lindstrom, a 22-year-old tile layer from West St. Paul. He first heard the furious music three years ago, and it made him glow. He realized there were angry kids like him—angry at blacks, Jews, homosexuals, immigrants. "There's a general plague of anti-whiteness going on in this country," he says. "When I heard the white-power rock, I thought, 'Right on!' "

Hear an angry white band that's not Eminem.

So their fans can't fight, they have a habit of overturning cars and setting stuff on fire.
Now ontop of everything else, Detroit can not even hold the distinction of being the most dangerous city anymore.

If you're going to be a crime ridden city overun by thugs and violence, at least make an attempt to be the best at it, not number two.

TRENTON, New Jersey (AP) -- Camden has been named the nation's most-dangerous city, snatching the top spot from Detroit.

If you watch the tape from the NBA brawl you can see why Detroit dropped to number two, fat guys who can't throw a punch skinny white guys who run in fear at the sight of a large black man, if the FBI kept stats on beer throwing Detroit would probally rank number one but they don't.

So to the people of Detroit, try harder you bunch of losers.

The violence broke out as rapper Dr. Dre rose to accept the Vibe Legend Award from presenters Quincy Jones and Snoop Dogg, An unidentified man sitting with Death Row Records chief Marion "Suge" Knight lunged toward Dr. Dre with a knife — but members of rapper 50 Cent's entourage intervened

"Woe unto those who call evil good, and good evil". (Ish.5: 20)

Those who know me know I am far from a bible thumper. I like to drink, gamble, smoke, and occasionally hubs and I download a porn movie..

So with that said, I came across this bible quote, which fit the left perfectly.

I have been reading how Arafat is a true statesman, and a pillar to Palestine causes from the left. They mourn for him more than they did the greatest modern day president Ronald Regan, and it's downright sad and a pity that the left has fallen into such a sullen quagmire that there is no light to be seen in the hole that they have dug for themselves.

But they press on, the little tykes, election fraud, 2008, Iraq; fuck the south, more sips from the bitter vinegar wine of defeat.

They are not American’s, in the true sense of the word, they wish for defeat in Iraq, just so they can give a collective, “I told you so”, “look at me, I am smarter than you, let me control the government because I know better.”

Not a will of the people but I know better so you wont get hurt, these are the same fucko’s that make sure that each toaster ever made has a warning label, “please don’t stick metal objects in the slots while toaster is on”

The left and the insane ramblings are a danger to them and to this nation as a whole, because they have the backing of the MSM who’s only real job is to distort the facts and cut them down to 5 second sound bites. You can not learn about anything in a 60 second CNN recap of events.

So to the left, you lost, move on, play with yourselves, seek therapy, what ever the hell would work for you to make you better people and shut the fuck up with your babblings.

The Palestinians' Myth

2004-11-13T18:15:00.000-05:00

Palestinian terrorists do not blow up crowded Israeli pizzerias because they want to provoke Jerusalem into abrogating the Oslo accords and abandoning the policy of "land for peace." On the contrary: The Palestinian leadership uses terrorism to *accelerate* the Oslo process -- to render Israelis so desperate and demoralized that they will make even deeper concessions, surrender even more land, and struggle even harder to make peace with their enemies.

A Georgia man fatally shot himself at Ground Zero, the suicide was a political protest

2004-11-07T18:37:00.000-05:00

Thinning the herd, I'm with that.

The body of Andrew Veal, 25, a university research worker who was engaged to be married, was found on the hallowed ground of the World Trade Center site yesterday morning.

Yeah, this fucker wanted to kill himself, so be it heaven needs fresh souls, but to do it there is not only selfish but downright insulting to the people of New York.

Veal didn't leave a note, but those who knew the sensitive young man said he sent a grim message by choosing to end his life where almost 3,000 people perished on Sept. 11, 2001.

You know what his "grim message" was? "Hi im Andrew and I'm a selfish prick, I couln't slit my wrists in the bathtub listening to some Faith Hill music, no I had to disrupt the lives of New Yorkers cause I'm an ass."

When Veal failed to show up at work on Wednesday, his pals assumed he was upset that Bush had beaten John Kerry in the race for the White House and was taking a few days off.

What fucking job lets you take a few days off from work because of a presidental election? Do you know what my boss would say, "Sure, take as much time as you need but don't expect your job to be here when your done."

Veal's body was found near the Church St. perimeter atop the structure enclosing the 1/9 subway line in The Pit. He had a head wound and cops recovered a shotgun nearby.

Do you want to know who I feel sorry for? him, no fuck him, his parents, no they raised a emotional half a fag that would kill himself over an election. No I feel sorry for the EMT's and the Police officers that had to deal with his gunshot inflicted body. If anyone else in his family wants to brain themselves with a shotgun, stay in Georgia, do it in the CNN building, everyone hates CNN anyways.

Read the full essay here

We Democrats are supposedly the party of the therapists, the teachers, and the 'relationship experts.' If anybody would be proud of the title, 'active listener', it would be a Democrat. We're the soft ones who understand where the other side is coming from and negotiate.

Actually, no. Our error is that we Democrats are far less understanding than we think we are. Our version of understanding the other side is to look at them from a psychological point of view while being completely unwilling to take their arguments seriously. "Well, he can't help himself, he's a right-wing religious zealot, so of course he's going to think like that." "Republicans who never served in war are hypocrites to send young men to die. " "Republicans are homophobes, probably because they can't deal with their secret desires." Anything but actually listening and responding to the arguments being made.

I am not saying that all these arguments should win. But I do not hear enough Democrats elucidating reasoned counterarguments to these positions. "Bush insulted our allies and the UN," "Bush lied, people died," "We have become the aggressor," "Homophobia," "Religious nut." These are not responses, these are dismissals. When Democrats start actively responding, we will succeed. Until then, we will be increasingly ignored as irrelevent.

A reader's guide to expatriating on November 3

Originally from Harper's Magazine, October 2004. By Bryant Urstadt.

Renouncing your citizenship

Given how much the United States as a nation professes
to value freedom, your freedom to opt out of the
nation itself is surprisingly limited. The State
Department does not record the annual number of
Americans renouncing their citizenship-"renunciants,"
as they are officially termed-but the Internal Revenue
Service publishes their names on a quarterly basis in
the Federal Register. The IRS's interest in the
subject is, of course, purely financial; since 1996,
the agency has tracked ex-Americans in the hopes of
recouping tax revenue, which in some cases may be owed
for up to ten years after a person leaves the country.
In any event, the number of renunciants is small. In
2002, for example, the Register recorded only 403
departures, of which many (if not most) were merely
longtime resident aliens returning home.

The most serious barrier to renouncing your
citizenship is that the State Department, which
oversees expatriation, is reluctant to allow citizens
to go "stateless." Before allowing expatriation, the
department will want you to have obtained citizenship
or legal asylum in another country-usually a
complicated and expensive process, if it can be done
at all. Would-be renunciants must also prove that they
do not intend to live in the United States afterward.
Furthermore, you cannot renounce inside U.S. borders;
the declaration must be made at a consul's office
abroad.

Those who imagine that exile will be easily won would
do well to consider the travails of Kenneth Nichols
O'Keefe. An ex-Marine who was discharged, according to
his website, under "other than honorable conditions,"
O'Keefe has tried officially to renounce his
citizenship twice without success, first in Vancouver
and then in the Netherlands. His initial bid was
rejected after the State Department concluded that he
would return to the United States-a credible
inference, as O'Keefe in fact had returned
immediately. After his second attempt, O'Keefe waited
seven months with no response before he tried a more
sensational approach. He went back to the consulate at
The Hague, retrieved his passport, walked outside, and
lit it on fire. Seventeen days later, he received a
letter from the State Department informing him that he
was still an American, because he had not obtained the
right to reside elsewhere. He had succeeded only in
breaking the law, since mutilating a passport is
illegal. It says so right on the passport.

Heading to Canada or Mexico

In your search for alternate citizenship, you might
naturally think first of Canada and Mexico. But
despite the generous terms of NAFTA, our neighbors to
the north and south are, like us, far more interested
in the flow of money than of persons. Canada, in
particular, is no longer a paradise awaiting American
dissidents: whereas in 1970 roughly 20,000 Americans
became permanent residents of Canada, that number has
dropped over the last decade to an average of just
about 5,000. Today it takes an average of twenty-five
months to be accepted as a permanent resident, and
this is only the first step in what is likely to be a
five-year process of becoming a citizen. At that point
the gesture of expatriation may already be moot,
particularly if a sympathetic political party has
since resumed power.

Mexico's citizenship program is equally complicated.
Seniors should know that the country does offer a
lenient program for retirees, who may essentially stay
as long as they want. But you will not be able to work
or to vote, and, more important, you must remain an
American for at least five years.

France

Should one candidate win, those who opposed the Iraq
war might hope to find refuge in France, where a very
select few are allowed to "assimilate" each year.
Assimilation is reserved for persons of non-French
descent who are able to prove that they are more
French than American, having mastered the language as
well as the philosophy of the French way of life. Each
case is determined on its own merit, and decisions are
made by the Ministère de l'Emploi, du Travail, et de
la Cohésion Social. When your name is published in the
Journal Officiel de la République Français, you are
officially a citizen, and may thereafter heckle the
United States with authentic Gallic zeal.

The coalition of the willing

Should the other candidate win, war supporters might
naturally look to join the coalition of the willing.
But you may find a willing and developing nation as
difficult to join as an unwilling and developed one.
It takes at least five years to become a citizen of
Pakistan, for instance, unless one marries into a
family, and each applicant for residency in Pakistan
is judged on a case-by-case basis. Uzbekistan imposes
a five-year wait as well, with an additional twist:
the nation does not recognize dual citizenship, and so
you will be required to renounce your U.S. citizenship
first. Given Uzbekistan's standard of living (low),
unemployment (high), and human-rights record (poor),
this would be something of a leap of faith.

The Caribbean

A more pleasant solution might be found in the
Caribbean. Take, for example, the twin-island nation
of St. Kitts and Nevis, which Frommer's guide praises
for its "average year-round temperature of 79°F
(26°C), low humidity, white-sand beaches, and
unspoiled natural beauty." Citizenship in this
paradise can be purchased outright. Prices start at
around $125,000, which includes a $25,000 application
fee and a minimum purchase of $100,000 in bonds.
Processing time, which includes checks for criminal
records and HIV, can take up to three months, but with
luck you could be renouncing by Inauguration Day. The
island of Dominica likewise offers a program of
"economic citizenship," though it should be noted that
Frommer's describes the beaches as "not worth the
effort to get there."

Speed is of the essence, however, because your choice
of tropical paradises is fast dwindling: similar
passport-vending programs in Belize and Grenada have
been shut down since 2001 under pressure from the
State Department, which does not approve. In any case,
it should be noted that under the aforementioned IRS
rules, you might well be forced to continue
subsidizing needless invasions-or, to be evenhanded,
needless afterschool programs.

Indian reservations

Our Native American reservations, which enjoy freedom
from state taxation and law enforcement, might seem an
ideal home for the political exile. But becoming a
citizen of a reservation is difficult-one must prove
that one is a descendant of a member of the original
tribal base roll-and moreover would be, as a gesture
of political disaffection, largely symbolic.
Reservations remain subject to federal law;
furthermore, citizens of a reservation hold dual
citizenships, and as such are expected to vote in U.S.
elections and to live with the results.

The high seas

You might consider moving yourself offshore. At a
price of $1.3 million you can purchase an apartment on
The World, a residential cruise ship that moves
continuously, stopping at ports from Venice to
Zanzibar to Palm Beach. Again, however, your
expatriation would be only partial: The World flies
the flag of the Bahamas, but its homeowners, who hail
from all over Europe, Asia, and the United States,
retain citizenship in their home nations.

To obtain a similar result more cheaply, you can
simply register your own boat under a flag of
convenience and float it outside the United States'
230-mile zone of economic control. There, on your
Liberian tanker, you will essentially be an extension
of that African nation, subject only to its laws, and
may imagine yourself free of oppressive government.

Micronations

The boldest approach is to start a nation of your own.
Sadly, these days it is essentially impossible to buy
an uninhabited island and declare it a sovereign
nation: virtually every rock above the waterline is
now under the jurisdiction of one principality or
another. But efforts have been made to build nations
on man-made structures or on reefs lying just below
the waterline. Among the more successful of these is
the famous Principality of Sealand, which was founded
in 1967 on an abandoned military platform off the
coast of Britain. The following year a British judge
ruled that the principality lay outside the nation's
territorial waters. New citizenships in Sealand,
however, are not being granted or sold at present.

A less fortunate attempt was made in 1972, when
Michael Oliver, a Nevada businessman, built an island
on a reef 260 miles southwest of Tonga. Hiring a
dredger, he piled up sand and mud until he had enough
landmass to declare independence for his "Republic of
Minerva." Unfortunately, the Republic of Minerva was
soon invaded by a Tongan force, whose number is said
to have included a work detail of prisoners, a brass
band, and Tonga's 350-pound king himself. The reef was
later officially annexed by the kingdom.

More recently, John J. Prisco III, of the Philippines,
has declared himself the prince of the Principality of
New Pacific, and announced that he has discovered a
suitable atoll in the international waters of the
Central Pacific. As of publication, the principality
has yet to begin the first phase of construction, but
it is already accepting applications for citizenship.

Imaginary nations

Perhaps the most elegant solution is to join a country
that exists only in one's own-or someone
else's-imagination. Many such virtual nations can be
found on the Internet, and citizenships in them are
easy to acquire. This, in fact, was the route most
recently attempted by Kenneth Nichols O'Keefe, the
unfortunate ex-Marine. In February 2003,

O'Keefe went to Baghdad to serve as a human shield,
traveling with a passport issued to him by the "World
Service Authority," an outfit based in Washington,
D.C., that has dubbed more than 1.2 million people
"world citizens." While laying over in Turkey,
however, he was detained; Turkey, as it turns out,
does not recognize the World Service Authority.
O'Keefe was forced to apply for a replacement U.S.
passport from the State Department, which rather
graciously complied.

Upon his arrival in Baghdad, O'Keefe promptly set the
replacement passport on fire. But he remains, to his
dismay, an American.

Netscape responsible for Bush photo insult

A Web image and text disparaging President and Mrs. Bush currently circulating on the Internet was not created, disseminated or posted by CNN at any time, as is alleged. It was done by an employee of Netscape and posted on Netscape.com. CNN had no knowledge of it until it surfaced on other Websites. CNN has requested an immediate apology from Netscape.

It's All Your Fault

2004-11-04T01:35:00.000-05:00

From MoveOnPlease.org

With Bush's crushing defeat of Kerry in last night's election, you are no doubt asking yourself, as we at MoveOnPlease have all morning: did I do enough? Where can the blame be placed? We think the answer is self-evident: the fault rests with you, the MoveOnPlease reader. We're not angry. We're calm. We're just stating the facts.

You mouth-breathing freaking idiots.

Damn you! We can understand a Kerry loss in a Mississippi or a Tennessee. These are people who impregnate their freaking sisters and thank Jesus for their beef jerky dinners. But Ohio? Ngg! Damn you! You think Bush'll protect you against Osama bin Laden? Was that the reasoning? Newsflash, you morons: it's been four freaking years! He's still alive! We swear to God, you fat-assed, latte-sipping soccer moms. If Dr. freaking Phil doesn't crap it out of his fat asshole, you don't even hear it, do you? Do you?

And you, Florida! What the hell is wrong with old people? We Democrats worked our asses off getting affordable healthcare for you wrinkled old skinbags, and this is how you repay us? You know where you'd be without Democrats? Dead! That's right! And you want to know where we'll be the next time Republicans make you pay for your own freaking medicine so you can cheat death for another year? Clapping in the audience, that's where. No, better. Dancing on your graves.

And Vermont! Three electoral votes? Three? You're all freaking hippies, for God's sake! You're supposed to be spitting out babies like Pez! The staff at a Texas Walmart has a bigger headcount than you people! Delaware! Another three votes! Thanks for coming through for Kerry, guys! But, oh, gee, wait — it turns out a candidate needs 270 votes to win. Hmm, let's just add your three votes to the Kerry pile and… carry the two… wow, how about that! It adds up to jack freaking shit!

From the bottom of our hearts, America: screw you. Screw every last one of you lazy lazy bastards! You ruined this country! We worked our fingers to the bone for… can't believe… just… so angry…can't…

Screw you.

I would not breath easy till Hurman Munster stepped up to the podium and conceded.

For the good of the country he did, a defeated, deflated, dejected man who has nothing left but his ugly wife and 20,000 Kerry / Edwards bumperstickers.

To my friends on the left, all I have to say is, "You tried" yeah, you gave it your best shot you pulled no punches. From a propaganda lie filled movie, to a 527 that was backed by George Soros who has more money than god himself. Dan and his fake documents, talk of an impending draft, jobs, farmers, homeless mothers, earthfreaks. You all took your best shot at our President and it all came down to one simple issue. One issue that we on the right WARNED you that it would be your deathknell. Moral Values, as much as you like to parade around Berkley with your units hanging out and protesting the war in Iraq with jerkoffs on stilts the average working man with a mortgage 2 cars and 3 kids looked at you with a total distain. How Dare You Defame America during this time of war?

The people from ANSWER, Moveon.org and United Peace and Justice, we on the right warned you, that shit doesn't play good in the bible belt.

Theater of the absurd doesn't turn red to blue from Montana to Texas, you were told, but you decided that was the stand you wanted to take. It's no longer the 60's anymore, the hippies are gone, the pot has been smoked the Dead records all put away.

Your platform was, "Anyone but Bush" you had no focus other than to sling mud, and to blame the people that don't belive in your lifestyle for a Kerry loss.

The people on the left, fuck you all, the whole lot of you stinky, protesting, jagoffs.

It's November 2nd.

A letter from my friend Rudolph Giuliani

2004-11-02T11:26:00.000-05:00

On September 11, our nation faced the worst attack in our history.

On that day, we had to confront reality. Our people were brave in their response.

At the time, we believed we would be attacked many more times that day and in the days that followed. Spontaneously, I grabbed the arm of then Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik and said to Bernie, "Thank God George Bush is our President." I've been saying that every day since.

We needed George Bush then; we need him now; and we need him for four more years!

President Bush is making certain that we are combating terrorism at the source, beyond our shores, so we can reduce the risk of having to confront it in our streets at home.

John Kerry's record of inconsistent positions on combating terrorism gives us no confidence he'll pursue such a determined course.

Terrorism did not start on September 11, 2001. It had been festering for many years.

President Bush will not submit America to a "global test" from other countries that seek to dissuade us from what is necessary for our defense.

Under President Bush, America will lead rather than follow.

President Bush is the leader we need for the next four years because he sees beyond today and tomorrow. He has a vision of a peaceful Middle East and, therefore, a safer world.

And together we have a responsibility to do all we can to give President Bush has four more years to continue winning the War on Terror and making the world safer.

Talk to your family, your friends, your coworkers and your neighbors. Make sure they understand the dramatic contrast between the President Bush and Senator Kerry.

And make sure your fellow Americans understand the power of their vote on November 2nd--and proudly tell them that, like me, you'll be voting for George W. Bush for four more years!

I endorse...

2004-11-02T11:21:00.000-05:00

Who you think?

GWB !

Cause America would be a shithole without him.

It's official - Satan endorses Kerry

2004-10-29T19:04:00.000-04:00

This explains how the Redsox won the World Series, and would explain a Kerry *shudder* victory *shudder* on November 2nd.

Ok, understand this will be the ONLY time I will be rooting for the 'Skins.

2004-10-28T19:43:00.000-04:00

Did you know....??

The Washington Redskins have proved to be a time-tested election predictor. In the previous 15 elections, if the Washington Redskins have lost their last home game prior to the election, the incumbent party has lost the White House. When they have won, the incumbent has stayed in power.

This election year, that deciding game takes place on Sunday, October 31 ... vs. Green Bay.

Read this from snopes.com

Update: Green Bay - 28 Washington: 14

Well if the Red Sox can win the World Series, anything can happen.

Howard Stern vs Michael Powell

2004-10-27T01:28:00.000-04:00

Allthough I am not a fan of Howard Stern, he has brought up some valid points, when he is not talking to porn stars.

Why does someone like him get fined by the FCC for adult conversations on his radio show, but someone like Oprah can have 13 year old hookers discuss in graphic detail how they service a john.

The exchange occurred during the morning show on San Francisco's KGO radio. Host Ronn Owens was interviewing Powell and was taking phone calls when Stern called.

Listen to the conversation here - this is a Zip file.
