New Orleans

Been sitting here with my ass in a wad, wanting to speak out about the bullshit going on in New Orleans. For the people of New Orleans... First we would like to say, Sorry for your loss. With that said, Let's go through a few hurricane rules: (Unlike an earthquake, we know it's coming)

#1. A mandatory evacuation means just that...Get the hell out. Don't blame the Government after they tell you to go. If they hadn't said anything, I can see the argument. They said get out... if you didn't, it's your fault, not theirs. (We don't want to hear it, even if you don't have a car, you can get out.)

#2. If there is an emergency, stock up on water and non-perishables. If you didn't do this, it's not the Government's fault you're starving.
#2a. If you run out of food and water, find a store that has some. (Remember, shoes, TV's, DVD's and CD's are not edible. Leave them alone.)
#2b. If the local store has been looted of food or water, leave your neighbor's TV and stereo alone. (See #2a) They worked hard to get their stuff. Just because they were smart enough to leave during a mandatory evacuation, doesn't give you the right to take their stuff... it's theirs, not yours.

#3. If someone comes in to help you, don't shoot at them and then complain no one is helping you. I'm not getting shot to help save some dumbass who didn't leave when told to do so.

#4. If you are in your house that is completely under water, your belongings are probably too far gone for anyone to want them. If someone does want them, let them have them and hopefully they'll die in the filth. Just leave! (It's New Orleans, find a voodoo warrior and put a curse on them.)

#5. My tax money should not pay to rebuild a 2 million dollar house, a sports stadium or a floating casino. Also, my tax money shouldn't go to rebuild a city that is under sea level. You wouldn't build your house on quicksand would you? You want to live below sea-level, do your country some good and join the Navy.

#6. Regardless of what the Poverty Pimps Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton want you to believe, The US Government didn't create the Hurricane as a way to eradicate the black people of New Orleans; (Neither did Russia as a way to destroy America). The US Government didn't cause global warming that caused the hurricane (We've been coming out of an ice age for over a million years)

#7. The government isn't responsible for giving you anything. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave, but you gotta work for what you want. McDonalds and Wal-Mart are always hiring, get a damn job and stop spooning off the people who are actually working for a living. President Kennedy said it best... "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

Thank you for allowing me to rant.

Too low is never low enough for the media!

USA Today gives Condi'demon eyes,' pulls photoPaper admits it gave secretary of state'unnatural appearance' in Web edition
October 26, 2005 © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com

Manipulated Associated Press photo of Condoleezza Rice published online by USA TodayUSA Today pulled a photograph of Condoleezza Rice from its website after a weblog revealed it was manipulated, giving the secretary of state a menacing, demon-eyesing stare.

The remarkable changes were first noted by a weblog called The Pen, which cited an original version of the Associated Press photograph. After a host of weblogs highlighted the photo, the nationwide newspaper removed it with this explanation:

"Editor's note: The photo of Condoleezza Rice that originally accompanied this story was altered in a manner that did not meet USA TODAY's editorial standards. The photo has been replaced by a properly adjusted copy. Photos published online are routinely cropped for size and adjusted for brightness and sharpness to optimize their appearance. In this case, after sharpening the photo for clarity, the editor brightened a portion of Rice's face, giving her eyes an unnatural appearance. This resulted in a distortion of the original not in keeping with our editorial standards."

But prior to the announcement, a number of experienced graphic artists wrote to weblogs, insisting the distortion was no mistake. "That photo of Condi was deliberately manipulated," said a reader of Michelle Malkin's site who has used Photoshop for 10 years. Another Photoshop user had suggested the photo might have been prepared for print publishing, which sometimes requires that images be sharpened to accommodate a fuzzy format.

The reader believed USA Today used a filter from the program Photoshop called Unsharp Mask, which brings out detail in soft photos. But the 10-year Photoshop user said he put the photo through the Unsharp Mask filter in Photoshop 5.5 and "could not duplicate what was done." The reader argued any filter in Photoshop would apply to the whole image, concluding "the image was deliberately manipulated around the eyes."

Also, he said, "Notice how the pupils have been narrowed, like a cat's eyes. Sharpening would not alter the roundness of her pupils, only accentuate them. Another paint or erase tool is required to achieve that effect." Two other experienced graphic artists concurred.

Okay, I vented. . . now I feel much better

Get the FREAKIN' DUCT TAPE!!!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Cindy Sheehan, the military mother who made her son's death in Iraq a rallying point for the anti-war movement, plans to tie herself to the White House fence to protest the milestone of 2,000 U.S. military deaths in Iraq.

"I'm going to go to Washington, D.C. and I'm going to give a speech at the White House, and after I do, I'm going to tie myself to the fence and refuse to leave until they agree to bring our troops home," Sheehan said in a telephone interview last week as the milestone approached. "And I'll probably get arrested, and when I get out, I'll go back and do the same thing," she said.

The death toll among U.S. military forces since the March 2003 invasion stood at 1,996 on Sunday. The milestone's approach prompted plans for hundreds of other demonstrations across the United States, but for Sheehan, each military death in the Iraqi war has been a tragedy. "To me, every single member since Number One has been tragic and needless and unnecessary," she said. "My son was somewhere around 615, and I've been working so hard for peace since my son was killed and now almost 1,400 more soldiers have been killed since Casey died."
Army Specialist Casey Sheehan was killed in Iraq on April 4, 2004.

Beyond Sheehan's plans, a candlelight vigil is planned at the White House to mourn the 2,000-death milestone. Hundreds of other demonstrations are scheduled for the day after the milestone number is reached.

"I hope that this milestone marks the point when the American people realize the U.S. military is not going to stop the violence in Iraq, and they instead start demanding a political solution to this problem," Sean O'Neill, a U.S. Marine who served in Iraq, said in a statement.


You can almost see these people rubbing their hands together, eagerly awaiting the 2,000th death. They are looking forward to it for political statements. If Cindy ties herself to the fence (knowing she won't get anywere) once, MAYBE twice and the media moves on, 'cause no one gives a crap, she'll find some other way to try to exploit her son's death for her own ego.

Cindy said: "To me, every single member since Number One has been tragic" and in the next breath: "I've been working so hard for peace since my son was killed" No you haven't, you LIAR!!! You met with Bush, you said he was a kind, understanding man! It was a year later that you figured you'd go stupid! Every death is not tragic to Cindy, she accepts them gleefully, as it makes the media look to her to spout off more gibberish.

Here's a little number crunching for you:
In Vietnam, 58,000 Americans were killed in action in a war that was eventually lost. In Korea, 38,000 Americans were lost in a war that ended as a draw. Lack of victory left a legacy of tyranny and genocide in a Communist-dominated postwar Southeast Asia, while a despotic North Korea still threatens world peace with the specter of nuclear weapons. The liberation and reconstruction of Iraq offers a much better outcome at much lower cost.

Given the availability of weapons and explosives in Iraq, if there was a real popular uprising against Americans, the U.S. presence would prove quickly untenable, but this is not the case. Terrorism is the weapon of the weak and cannot defeat the superior military presence of the United States and its allies. President Bush will not be terrorized into retreating, though there is the danger that continuing casualties could be exploited politically by those Democrats who seem to welcome being terrorized.

2,000 is a lot, but it is the least amount lost for Freedom of a country to date in the history of the world.

DeLay ruins Democrats photo-trashing shot

Why is Tom DeLay smiling? After all, he's been indicted. Forced out of his job as House majority leader. And called into court for fingerprinting and a mugshot like a common criminal. Answer: A photo of DeLay grinning from ear to ear doesn't pack quite the punch in a Democratic attack ad as one that looks more like the mugshot of, say, actor Hugh Grant. Note the House of Representatives security pin on DeLay's lapel.

He looks in the photo like a proud member of Congress who might just have won the lottery, not one indicted on charges of money laundering. The photo looks like it could have been taken anywhere. And that was just the point. Democrats nationally are already sounding as if they'll make DeLay the poster boy for bad Republican behavior in next year's elections, when every House seat and a third of those in the Senate are up for grabs.

DeLay, an 11-term Texas congressman and former pest exterminator famous for enforcing GOP loyalty, faced a tough reelection campaign even before the indictment. In the 2004 elections, DeLay won 55 percent of the vote, a relatively weak showing for a veteran House leader. His challenger next year is expected to be former Rep. Nick Lampson, who lost his seat in 2004 after he was forced to run in a new district under a redistricting plan pushed by DeLay.

For his mandatory booking Thursday, which caused him to miss voting on a gun industry bill popular in his home state, DeLay did everything he could to prevent images of the event from being committed to film. Rather, the photo projects the confidence DeLay exhibits in all of his scuffles. For anyone who didn't get it, DeLay's lawyer, Dick DeGuerin, articulated the message it was intended to send.

"If you saw Congressman DeLay's mugshot, he was smiling," DeGuerin told reporters. "He's eager and he's ready to go."

Judge in Spain's also a moron, they're everywhere!

They left out one little. . . insignificant really. . . fact about this story: THE SOLDIERS WERE BEING FIRED UPON!!!

Let's not give Spain, the country who yielded to the terrorists too much credit here. . . .

I have no simpathy for anyone from the news that dies in a FREAKIN' WAR ZONE!!! War is where people kill people!!!

MADRID, Spain -
A judge has issued an international arrest warrant for three U.S. soldiers whose tank fired on a Baghdad hotel during the Iraq war, killing a Spanish journalist and one other, a court official said Wednesday. Judge Santiago Pedraz issued the warrant for Sgt. Shawn Gibson, Capt. Philip Wolford and Lt. Col. Philip de Camp, all from the U.S. 3rd Infantry.

Jose Couso, who worked for the Spanish television network Telecinco, died April 8, 2003, after a U.S. army tank crew fired a shell on Hotel Palestine in Baghdad where several journalists were staying to cover the war.

Reuters cameraman Taras Portsyuk, a Ukrainian, also was killed.

The Spanish judge said he issued the arrest order because of a lack of judicial cooperation from the United States regarding the case.

Babs Boxer's a moron. . . I coulda told you that!

Sen. Barbara Boxer's debut novel has yet to be published, but it already has created a dark and stormy night for Republicans. They're mostly villains in "A Time to Run," a suspense tale penned by the California Democrat. The New York Times questioned Mrs. Boxer's portrayal of Republicans as "snakes" and Democrats as "saints" in the book- - -

In an interview with the Times on Sunday, however, Mrs. Boxer acknowledged writing the book "with a point of view," adding that as a party, the "Democrats have virtuous goals."


And what are those goals? To spread misery evenly? To bring those who are up, down instead of those who are down, up? To let murderers on death row walk free while murdering babies in the womb? Tell murdering terrorists 'It's okay, we had it coming' while attempting to put those who fight terrorism in prison? Now THAT’S some virtuous goals!!!

Why does the left make me hate them?

This is an AP story. This moron was waiting outside Karl Rove's house, saw that they left the garage open, so this creep took a bunch of pictures of it, and reported on it. Why must the press and the left be so stupid (I would say act stupid, but they're not acting, they are stupid)




Karl Rove's Garage Proves to Be TypicalOct 17 2:24 PM US/Eastern Email this story

WASHINGTON

He is "the architect" who steered George W. Bush to victory four times, twice as Texas governor and twice as president.

But can Karl Rove organize his own garage? Can the master of Bush's political planning figure out where to put the ladders, paint cans and cardboard boxes?

Rove's wife, Darby, raised the white garage door one morning last week to show journalists outside the million-dollar brick home that the deputy chief of staff, assistant to the president and senior adviser wasn't home. All the interest came on the eve of his testimony Friday before a grand jury investigating who in the White House might have revealed the identity of a CIA operative.

There was no car in the garage. And the stuff left behind turned out not to be much different from what gathers dust inside most American garages.

The inventory, seen from outside:
_Some cardboard file boxes stacked one on top of the other, labeled "Box 6," "Box 4" and what appears to be "Box 7." No sign of boxes 1, 2, 3 and 5.
I bet that's where he keeps slaves. . . where could those missing boxes be. . . .

_What appear to be paint cans stacked alongside a folded, folding chair.
They only APPEAR to be paint cans, but I bet they're filled with OIL, thus driving up the cost of gas

_A rather large wood crate marked "FRAGILE" and painted with arrows indicating which way is up. On top of the crate, two coolers.
The coolers contain bodyparts, no doubt from those poor Iraqis we are sincelessly killing

_A tall aluminum ladder.
Um. . . . .

_A snow shovel leaned in front of another cardboard box.
Uh. . . . .

_Wicker baskets inside of wicker baskets on top of a shelf running the length of the rear wall. Transparent plastic storage bins crammed with indiscernible stuff. Another cardboard box.
What's with all these boxes?
_In one corner, the rear wheel of a bicycle sticks out, along with what appears to be a helmet.
It only appears to be a helmet, but I bet it's some sort of mind reading device

_Another ladder, this one green, leaning sideways.
What a sick, sad man! A sideways ladder!!!



WHY IS THIS NEWS!?!?! Because they hate Bush, and any and all associated with him.
