Human Rights Watch Drives G&L Rally

Special interest, non-partisan group Human Rights Watch has been caught red handed in midst of social furor by supporting a gay and lesbian pride rally in Moscow. Shouldn't these guys be in houses of government petitioning for humanitarian changes, instead of...

"Beck and Scott Long of U.S.-based Human Rights Watch ... unfurled a rainbow flag."

...or are they going all radical on us now like Greenpeace?



Furthermore, it goes without saying that increased tolerance and support from left-wing local governments and the MSM in the U.S. shown for similar events here is a disgrace. Sure there's freedom, but then there's also common decency and morals to uphold in the public eye (I like how the G&L scene in Moscow is "underground"). You know, where there are kids and all. We need more hecklers.

Economy Surges Forward In Q1

Since good news is no news, I'll post it instead of CNN. The economy is a robust machine, even to the point that the housing market is taking people by surprise. Retail sales aren't doing too shabby either.



But again, you'll never hear that from the MSM. Rubbish.

The Chicks Are Squeaking Too Much Again

The Dixie Chicks are at it yet again, namely (guess who?) Natalie Maines. But the other two aren't off the hook either.



"As war in Iraq loomed in 2003, Maines told the London audience: "Just so you know, we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas." The remarks led to death threats and a backlash from other U.S. country stars, including a high-profile spat with Toby Keith. It also stalled what until then had been the group's smashingly successful career.

Bandmate Emily Robinson said she knew right away the remark wouldn't be taken lightly and got "hot from my head to my toes."

"It wasn't that I didn't agree with her 100 percent; it was just, 'Oh, this is going to stir something up,"' she told Time magazine.

For band member Martie Maguire, the controversy was a blessing in disguise. "I'd rather have a small following of really cool people who get it, who will grow with us as we grow and are fans for life, than people that have us in their five-disc changer with Reba McEntire and Toby Keith," Maguire said. "We don't want those kinds of fans. They limit what you can do." "

Dixie Chicks' Maines Says U.S. President Owed 'No Respect Whatsoever'

The Yuppie Horror Picture Show would like to take this opportunity to give The Dixie Chicks two middle fingers up for their antics. And to encourage continuation of the boycott.

"I'm Huge, Huge In The Arab World!"

To which Lionel Richie later realized after the interview, "y'know, it's just gotta be because of my 1981 smash hit, "Jesus Is Love."



Just thought this was an amusing article- check it out.

Ozone Hole Actually Shrinking

Cheers to a team of Japanese researchers for publically stating their findings that a big aspect of 'global warming' is on the decrease, the ozone hole over Antarctica.

LiveScience.com - Ozone Hole Might Heal by 2050



But I've got a couple questions here. This article states at the end that most of the harm is being caused by "emissions of chlorofluorocarbons and other gases" from mainly old air conditioning units and refrigerators in North America. Not only "why would only antiquated A/C units and fridges in Canada and the U.S. be holding up faster ozone hole shrinkage", but "why isn't the ozone hole over North America and other holes over other developed countries around the world?"

Just How Dangerous Is Iran's Regime?

Nazism is returning in the Middle East. Are we still planning on that 'diplomacy' hooey at some point or can we just send a few ICBMs into Tehran? Like, y'know, yesterday? This is really starting to get edgy- I would expect something big to come to a head by the end of this year. Military action needs to be taken immediately against that government for the sake of the common good of Iranians and the rest of the world.

Incompetency Runs Amok

The Commie News Network is losing whatever edge it has had lately. After losing Rudi Bakhtiar to FNC, what's left that is worth anything? But more importantly, who's running the video feeds over at CNN during Presidential addresses? Duke Lacrosse players who can't get a job anywhere else now?

Sounds Good To Me

"White House sources said Snow, who started on the job Monday and has yet to give his first public press briefing, is determined to aggressively counter what the administration considers unfair assertions in both news and editorials about Bush. At the same time, he is eager to make the notoriously secretive administration more accessible to the press."

Go Snow!

Your Wallet Speaks to Hollywood

Paramount officials are scurrying around this week trying to figure out why Mission Impossible III is tanking at the box office. Did they miss the little fact that their star actor is a freak with a public relations approval rating equal to that of Michael Jackson's?

"And that's the irony here: "M:I3" is a terrific action film. Director J.J. Abrams did a great job, and the entire cast from Cruise right through to the team and various supporting players do a convincing job."

Proof positive that consumers are not willing to voluntarily go pay their hard earned money to see Crazy Cruise in a new movie, paying as much as ten bucks a ticket. Would you? Bad PR is a b****.

Israel has apparently shoved back in regards to the threats from Iran. It's about time they start flexing some muscle to the media of the degree that the U.S. has the tendency to do. Israel quietly has the nuclear capability to not only wipe Iran off the map as they proclaimed today, but probably most of Europe and Russia as well if they had to.

Why the rest of the Middle East doesn't respect this is beyond me. It's pretty simple really. When it comes down to conflict in that region, don't f*** with Israel. There isn't another country in the world that has more intelligence and warcraft backing from the United States of America than they do.

Head 'Em Up, Move 'Em Out

So... whenever a topic of interest comes up in the online forum community/message boards I belong to, members like to post an image of something in relation to it off Google Image Search for an added comic effect. Somebody starts talking about Hondas that have been hot-rodded with only stickers and a wing on the roof, and inevitably an image of a large box of Uncle Bens Wild Rice shows up 3 posts later.



So how insensitive would it be to post the image above (and furthermore you may falsely extrapolate it to the point I think the subjects at hand are weeds that need to be killed), when I chuckle as I read the linked article at the end of this post suggesting a round-up of illegal immigrants at these rallies next Monday? I don't subscribe to off-topic forums any longer as they killed far too much of the time I had my sophomore year of college that I realized better things to do. But I would have posted that image right after a cowboy lasso image likely posted right above it by some other student in Idaho. It becomes a game sometimes, but I digress.

Since I suppose that's the root (no pun intended) of this post, I've always thought that these staged rallies were the absolute perfect opportunity for federal and local law enforcement to come in and efficiently perform a sweeping dragnet. Think about it. All the illegal aliens are congregated in one spot, and they even let you know when and where they're all going to be at least a week in advance... by publishing it on the Internet! Even to the point that just in case you miss tens of thousands of people seizing traffic and disrupting economic commerce in the streets for the rest of us citizens trying to go about our normal days, they will even organize to all wear white t-shirts. Just how easy can it get? It's unfortunate Al-Qaeda doesn't make it this simple for the Dept. of Homeland Security. As they struggle to make it here, earning sub-minimum wage pay, I wonder how organizers expect this 'May Day' walkout to effect the economy (their objective) as if illegal immigrants are responsible for 31% of annual retail earnings or something. They expect the DJIA to tank two hundred points or something? Hurricane Katrina couldn't even really rock the system- what makes them think a few hundred thousand illegal immigrants with ten bucks in their pocket are going to ruin our economy when they 'disappear' for a day?

Yet of course, the only reason a dragnet as described hasn't been done is because the system here is too nice and panders too much to human rights special interest groups and fears backlash. And one of those interest groups backing a policy of amnesty is my own Roman Catholic Church... still not sure how to react to that one. But President Bush is also a member of that school of thought. Should I turn into a Protestant Democrat? Whoops! No, they're even more gung-ho about amnesty. WTF is going on here? The answer is: lots of fear over political correctness, against common sense and the way things ought to be. And not enough people coming out and telling it otherwise, like myself (I'd like to think, anyway), who usually have a "screw political correctness" mindset. That's what.

My answer? A 180-day (that's six months) notification given to get out of the United States before forced deportation is enforced by the DHS. That way, you can still escape back to your home country ASAP, and plenty of time at that, before being labeled as a criminal trespasser and arrested. Just because America is nice like that- it's tradition. Returning to your home country within this timeframe would also grant you 're-hire' status, if you will, to go home and earn citizenship the right way so you can come back legally. It would be nice if the Feds made that process more efficient and timely too, so perhaps a legal return to the U.S. could even come all within the same year.

Insensitive? Perhaps. But seeing as I'm not one who broke into this country and is trying to take advantage of the system to get something for nothing at others' expense, I could care less.

Throw 'Em Back

FLASHBACK:
This post was lifted from my now un-political personal weblog and may be dated.

And now for something completely disturbing... peace activists who were kidnapped in Iraq, taken hostage by insurgents, then rescued by Coalition forces whom saved their lives from likely beheadings, rape and torture. I'd be pretty happy toward my rescuers. But what was these stupid hippies' response?

"We believe that the illegal occupation of Iraq by Multinational Forces is the root cause of the insecurity which led to this kidnapping and so much pain and suffering in Iraq. The occupation must end."

Welcome Aboard, Commie Scumbags

This weblog was created from a personal weblog. Basically, I decided there were too many feathers being ruffled with politics amongst the primarily personal news bits on my website (example: "my trip to Colorado last week was great, saw some family I hadn't been around in awhile, and my terrier mix just had puppies... but the f*cking illegal aliens have gotta go"), so I decided to seperate my personal and political lives online. My personal website just received a fresh revision, and it will now run clean as a whistle without stirring the political pot. For those musings, this place was created. Right now I run it as a sole proprietor, but I've got a couple other folks I may bring on at some point to make things even more interesting.

What do you need to know about me thus far? I'm less than 50 years old, but older than 25. I proudly live in the United States of America. I have a business school education, but I'm not a doctor. I pay my taxes. I agree with President Bush 92% of the time. I am a devout Christian and usually side with Republicans, but I'm a right-wing conservative first. I am taller than you and my car is faster than yours. But big as my ego will get at times on here, I am still a fallible schmuck. So I openly welcome comments of just about any nature to set me factually straight, or perhaps even give praise. You can post back at will, but I reserve veto power if they're too over the top to approve and appear publicly. I allow reasonable dissent because it stirs the pot- what I want here, not on my personal site. For example: Barrack Obama- allowed. CODEPINK- veto. I may be a fan of Democracy, but where incompetence thrives, silencing communism is gladly enforced.

I can't say how active this thing is going to be until it gets going, but if it's anything like the nasty comments I have been left on a regular basis back on my personal weblog, we shouldn't have a problem getting the ball rolling here. So sit back, buckle up, read the whole post before taking anything too seriously, and hang on. And blogroll us whenever you deem it worthy.

Roll out.
