Men

What is a man? Why do we have to ask this question?

I was in High School when the Women's Movement started. I was incredibly confused about what it meant to be me, let alone a man...and women, these were completely alien creatures that terrified me, yet I wanted to get closer to.

Over the years it seems to a lot of people to just relating to shooting somebody, idiots, but one one the best lines for a guy was said by *celestial choir* John Wayne:
"A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do."

This post by Kim Du Toit should tie this all together:

A Jew In the KKK

This is just funny. I think the Aussie accent really threw them and they were in deep before they knew it. The best part is in the last three or four minutes when He starts discussing exactly how his bloodline should run, and what about his children? You watch it and see.

Tour of an Middle Eastern City

It's a little long, mainly repetitious towards the end, but this is where centuries of muslim culture has gotten them.

We're always told of the great scientific and philosophical advancements they made up through their crusade up to Spain. Then funny thing, the advancements stopped.

Of course, if you listen to the asshats over at Glumbert.com like this one "tribe":

Afghanistan is neither a Muslim country or a country that thrives on oil. Afghanistan's highest export is fucking opium. It has nothing to do with oil.

Afganistan, not muslim? Then who the hell are the taliban, al queda and the mujahideen?

As far as opium, don't they know the price of heroin on the market? if they'd quit trying to kill each other and OPEC it, they could get some of the booty, rather than the middle man. You put Pablo Escobar over there, he'd be making a nickel a pod rather than five pods for a nickel ( or however they sell the crap).

Of course these arguments have little bearing here, as Medina is actually located in Saudi Arabia, the richest kingdom in the ME.

Has It Been A Week?

Man, how can time go by so fast? I'm on "vacation", but due to circumstances, haven't gone anywhere. It was more a point of using up a few days, because I don't think they'll let me carry over any unused days to next year. I'm using four days this time, but with my long change that's 9 days off. I go back on a Saturday, so it should be quiet, work Sunday and Monday, then I'm off again Tuesday and Wednesday.

Blackiswhite blew through my area last weekend without so much as a "How do ya do?" I just don't understand people that would rather spend their two days with the wife sans kids, than set aside three or four hours on an internet acquaintance.

And BisW, as far as:
After driving through L.A. on Sunday, I have to say that I don't get the attraction. Ventura was nice.
L.A. is like N.Y., If you've been around long enough, you can find the upsides to living here, and they do exist. Ventura is nice, but the COL there drove my parents to *shudder* Portland.

I think I'll vacation for a bit and see if I get in the mood for a "hard" post later. I've just skimmed news for the last week. This is suppose to be a rest period and news has a tendency to wind me up.

Vacation

I'm taking a vacation! In 2006 I stared asking for time away from work in May...but we were always going to have a big thing happening "that week", so I put it off and put it off. When it got to November, I asked again and was told "no". I said being policy is use it or lose it, I would "for the good of the company", could carry it over this time, I'll wait. If not, I'm on vacation as of now and you'll see me in 3 weeks.

The powers that be decided I would be allowed to carry my time over. According to records, I've used 6 days in January, I must have been really out of it, because I honestly don't remember taking the time...but I also took two days going to see my Father before he died.

No, I didn't run up to Portland say "Bye, Dad" and come home. My schedule has a 5 day "long break" in it so I was able to be up there 6 days. I had to travel by train due to financial things, so instead of a two hour flight (if direct) it was a 26 hour....not bad ordeal.

Now I'm finding myself back in the same situation again. I have 13 days vacation and the end of the year is fast approaching. (I should mention here that vacation between Thanksgiving and New Years is verboten..due to a senior guy putting in for it on Jan 1st every year, and with only five guys working there, it kinda rubs the wrong way).

But, I'm off. I don't have to be back until 1:00 PM a week from Saturday. Not planning on going anywhere, nor do I have plans for the next week. I'm going to do what I want to do. Which may be not much. The boy has to work, so until we go to get his "new" car from Grandma in October, I have no obligations hanging over me.

Religion of Peace: Why Christianity is and Islam Isn’t

O.K., I disappear for a week, then I go post crazy. I do have a long list in front of me of stuff I wanted to write about, but I'm a lazy bastard and didn't get around to it. After reading everyone else take on something, I try to step back and let it simmer. That doesn't work so well with a blog, you tend to be behind the news curve by the time you've got your position down.

This interview with Robert Spencer over at Hot Air is definitely worth your time. It is a quick synopsis of why we need to be vigilant about the creeping acceptance of Sharia Law into our daily lives. A new interpretation of law that has not been written, just imposed, so as not to offend a sect of our society.

Science and Islam

From: Salon.com

The religious state of Islamic science

Turkish-American physicist Taner Edis explains why science in Muslim lands remains stuck in the past -- and why the Golden Age of Mesopotamia wasn't so golden after all.

By Steve Paulson

In October, Malaysia's first astronaut will join a Russian crew and blast off into space. The news of a Muslim astronaut was cause for celebration in the Islamic world, but then certain questions started popping up. How will he face Mecca during his five daily prayers while his space ship is whizzing around the Earth? How can he hold the prayer position in zero gravity? Such concerns may sound absurd to us, but the Malaysian space chief is taking them quite seriously. A team of Muslim scholars and scientists has spent more than a year drawing up an Islamic code of conduct for space travel.

This story illustrates the obstacles that face scientists in Muslim countries. While it's always risky to draw generalizations about Islam, even conservative Muslims admit that the Islamic world lags far behind the West in science and technology. This is a big problem for Muslims who envy the economic and military power of the United States.

What's so striking about the Muslim predicament is that the Islamic world was once the unrivaled center of science and philosophy.

While I don't unnecessarily, have any problem with this in this particular case because it is kind of an interesting predicament. I dunno, maybe a crew mate can hold a foot and spin him around while he prays.

The main thing about this story that really bothers me is the way Muslim's can't figure out the simplest things themselves. Don't believe me? Go here to "Ask the Imam" and peruse the littlest things these people worry about doing wrong and offending allah.

If there is anything a person can do, you had better ASK THE IMAM before you do it or your going to hell because you forgot to wash your feet first.

I think Christianity has a leg up here, There are 10 rules to follow, easy to remember and while not always easy, really not to hard to follow

Who'd a thought?

This is one of the funniest things I've seen since....the last time something was the funniest. I just couldn't believe a snake climbing a tree to get away from a rabbit.

“We control this House, not the parliamentarians!”

So says Steny Hoyer, House Majority Leader, after dropping a quick gavel on a bill that dealt with giving money to the illegals. So much for the Dem's end of corruption.

Angela, a poster, at The Influence Peddler sez:

If this stands, it's the end of the Republic.

I know that sound like a line from the Black Helicopter/Chemtrails crowd, but I am gravely concerned about this. I've been a practicing attorney for 32 years, and a Democrat for 40.

We were told that Bush would destroy the Constitution, ignore votes, rig elections and disenfranchise the public. That is exactly what the Democratic leadership has just done.

If this stands, votes will no longer be needed in the house, the Democratic leadership can decide what the outcomes will be - including the outcomes of their own caucus votes.
5:27 PM

What was wrong? The Dem's have totally ignored parliamentary rule and are trying to say it was just a mistake and won't happen again. I've heard the whimpering about the Repub's holding open a vote longer than normal, the difference there was they followed procedure to get extra time, that's allowed, not normal, but it's legal.

Watch this guy and see how comfortable he is with what, I assume, he was ordered to do:

freebies for ILLEGALS that couldn't get passed on "Immigration Reform Bills" now gets tacked onto an agriculture bill.

The end of corruption?

Want to know what's in store for the U.S. if we keep up with the crap the Politically Correct crowd is continuously foisting on us?

Go read this posting from someone living in Eunikistan and is watching his neighboring country swirl the bowl. The Death of Sweden

According to them, this is done in order to fight against capitalist exploitation and for a global, classless society. Their logic goes something like this: If you protest against Muslim immigration, you suffer from Islamophobia, which is almost the same as xenophobia, which is almost the same as racism. And racists are almost Fascists and Nazis, as we all know, and they shouldn't be allowed to voice their opinions in public. Hence, if you protest against being assaulted or raped by Muslims, you are evil and need to be silenced. If a native Swede is really lucky, he or she will thus first get mugged or battered by Muslims, and then beaten up a second time by his own extreme Leftists for objecting to being beaten the first time.

You can't say you don't see signs of this here. CAIR wants it so if you se someone if you notice someone acting tense and out of the ordinary, and the guy is Middle Eastern looking and you point it out to someone, you are a racist ! Doesn't matter what the prvocation was. La Raza says if you report 15 guys living in the 2 bdrm house down the block, you are a racist!

This is a day off for me (Sunday?), and I was reading a book on the couch and Glen Beck just finished, so I switched over to Bill O'Reilly to see whether he was "looking out for me" or not...I was greeted with devastation.

A bridge over the Mississippi in Minneapolis had collapsed during rush hour.

It looks nasty, very much like what I"ve seen and experienced after an earthquake, so I am not , in no stretch of your warped little minds, going to minimize the terror these people are going through.

BUT, 1 hour and 15 minutes after this event occurred, the Department of Homeland Security releases their statement of "It's not a Terrorist Attack". Hell, haven't they installed a button on Chertoff's wrist watch yet that he hits the moment anything happens and that message goes out? You know, to calm the masses and prevent the genocide of...Muslims?

I will admit that during the initial pictures I was going "Oh. please, don't let this be terrorism." I was not thinking "I'm gonna kill me some ragheads for this".

Like our military's restraint at Falluja, I will not let myself be suckered into a knee-jerk reaction that, in this case, may prove to be "an act of G-d", or a low bid construction company doing the repair work on the bridge at the time.

I'll wait, I'll watch, and I'll expect the person(s) responsible to be held in account for what happened.

Who Is A Suicide Bomber?

And what is their motivation? It's not always what you think. Do you use a distraught girl who was injured in an accident and dumped by her boyfriend?


She says she didn't want to kill anyone...but she tried to pull the pin at the check point when stopped.

She'll still get the treatment she requires, but is she ever going to realize what she was going to do? Destroy a hospital that was going to help her and the people she lives with.

I Now Have Something To Look Forward To In The Elections

Cindy Sheehan has announced her bid to run against Pelosi in the upcoming elections.

Cindy Sheehan Targets Pelosi, Impeachment via NewsMax.

I can't wait to hear the idiotic respond to the insane. The level of discourse in these debates should cause peoples heads to explode. Pelosi thinks that she'll just be able to ignore Saint Cindy of the Ditch, but I don't think the LameStreamMedia will allow it. Pelosi is to secure in her seat, so the only thing worth covering will be to see how much Cindy can get under her skin.

4th WEDDING

A woman, married three times, walked into a bridal
shop one day and told the sales clerk that she was
looking for a wedding gown for her fourth wedding.

"Of course, madam," replied the sales clerk,
"exactly what type and color dress are you looking
for?"

The bride to be said: "A long frilly white dress
with a veil."

The sales clerk hesitated a bit, then said, "Please
don't take this the wrong way, but gowns of that
nature are considered more appropriate for brides
who are being married the first time - for those
who are a bit more innocent, if you know what I mean?

Perhaps ivory or sky blue?"

"Well," replied the customer, a little peeved at
the clerk's directness, "I can assure you that a
white gown would be quite appropriate.

Believe it or not, despite all my marriages, I
remain as innocent as a first-time bride.

You see, my first husband was so excited about
our wedding, he died as we were checking into
our hotel. My second husband and I got into
such a terrible fight in the limo on our way to
our honeymoon, that we had that wedding annulled
immediately and never spoke to each other again."

"What about your third husband?" asked the sales
clerk.

"That one was a Democrat," said the woman,
"and every night for four years, he just sat
on the edge of the bed and told me how good
it was going to be, but nothing ever happened!"

Why Can't They Make It Like They Used To?

I have worked for oil companies for the last 30+ years. I have a tendency to get a "bit" of dirt, grease, and other crap under my fingernails and around my cuticles. Trying to keep them clean is a major problem.

The sad looking thing in the picture above is a fingernail brush that I bought from the Fuller Brush Company 35 years ago. It still works, but I'd like to have another to keep at my jobsite. Even though Fuller is still in business, they don't make this anymore, and the ones they make are the cheapo crap that I can by at the grocery store...and they don't work.

I'm not sure what it is, but if I like a product, because it works, or lasts, they stop making it.
