What a piece of work

Jeebus.  Every time I think this administration has hit bottom, they dig a little deeper.  Now Bambi and his Minions of Evil specifically mentioned Arizona's immigration law in a report to the UN Commissioner on Human Rights.  In his opinion, this law shows that the US needs help from the asshats at the UN in the area of human rights.

It is important to note that the Obama administration’s report to the United Nations will go before the UN Human Rights Council, which includes in its current membership some of the world’s worst human rights abusers. The likes of China, Cuba, Libya, Russia, and Saudi Arabia, will have a right to pass judgment over the Arizona immigration law, a humiliation for a great superpower before some of the most brutal regimes on the face of the earth.

Note the kind and gentle nations that are on the Commission.

I'm beginning to seriously think that we need to get rid of these evil morons by any means possible.


Thanks to Ace and his merry band.

A man among boys

Looks like Putin is willing to do risky things, take chances, and show himself to be a gutsy man.  Meanwhile, of course, Bambi golfs every day, and once rode a bike without a helmet!

Yeah, Putin is gonna be impressed with a weenie preaching understanding and all that crap.

How the mighty have fallen.  Russia gets Putin, we get Bambi.

Where's my Congressman?

Beyond Scary

This one is amazing.  It's becoming obvious how much the elite in this country despise we peons.  They can't even be bothered to conceal their contempt and arrogance anymore.

Things like this make me more and more convinced that these jagoffs have to go, and are gonna push us to the limit.

Thank God we outnumber them.  And we cling to our guns.

Thanks to my bud Vince for posting this article on Facebook.

Society goes to hell

WTF?  Something is seriously wrong here.  First off, it looks pretty apparent that there were racial overtones to some of these attacks.  Like it or not, Blacks do attack Whites for no reason other than race.  And like it or not, it tends to be glossed over when it happens.  And of course nobody screams about "hate crimes".

But even worse is that these kids (and adults) are now getting right up into the faces of the cops.  It just seems that these punks have no respect for anybody anymore.  And it's not gonna get any better.

Carrying a pistol all the time seems a much better option, I have to say.  I highly recommend it.

Jukebox of the Mind

Ugh.  This song is kinda the inspiration for the whole JotM concept.  It's been floating in and out of my mind for ages- at least 6 months.  And I don't have it in iTunes, which is odd, as I'm sure I have it on cd someplace.

Anyhow, enjoy.  Maybe now it'll leave me alone.

Interesting

Turns out that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan haven't run up the deficit as much as the democrats running  the country.  Go figure.

Once again, I have to ask a serious question:  Why on earth would anyone with any semblance of a brain voter for these jackasses?

Good article

A solid article on our Muslim "friends" from Gates of Vienna.  I don't know if the West has the willpower to resist this encroachment.  I do know the leftists will do everything possible to allow us to be destroyed by Islam.  Not because they like what Islam says about homosexuality, women's rights, etc; but simply because they're too stupid to realize what Islam is really all about.

Useful idiots, as the saying goes.

Anyhow, enjoy.  Or rather, read it and weep.

Jukebox of the Mind

Today we have an interesting song for JotM.  This is the great Scottish duo The Corries, doing "Blue Bonnets".  I found this last night, while looking for good Highland Marches in honor of Bill Millin.

I knew the song before, because Natalie MacMaster, an old favorite of mine did a lovely, haunting version of it.  At least I think it's the same song.  I'm not sure, since I can hear no similarities between them.  It might be the instruments, the tempo, etc, but to my untrained ear the two versions are completely different.

I'm not sure which one I prefer.  The fiddle version is, as I said, very haunting.  It's got a sad tone to it, which works well for catharsis when one is feeling down.  The Corries version, with pounding bodhrans, sounds more like what I guess the song is intended to be:  A song to inspire a Highlander to go pummel an Englishman or twenty.  So I guess that's a point in its favor.  (Not encouraging any random Scot to go a-pummeling, but honestly, that's the point of much of their traditional music).

Anybody got an feelings either way?

Anyhow, to warm up for writing this, I watched this video twice, one after the other.  Love the song, but something about the video is equally compelling.  Maybe it's the internal dork in me, but even the outfits they wear seem cool.  I sometimes wish I were younger, so that I would have had the internet as a teenager and young man, when I could have found these traditional or medieval type outfits and worn them as my own particular style.  Don't think I could pull them off so well now.  Ah well.

Enjoy.



(DOH!  Almost forgot the video!)

A brave man leaves us

RIP Bill Millin, the man who achieved well-deserved fame for playing his pipes on Sword Beach, June 6, 1944.  The bravest of the brave, perhaps.

Here's the best quote from the story.  When Lord Lovat asked him to play, Millin initially refused, because regulations forbade it.  Here's the terrific but brief story:

"....When Private Millin demurred, citing the regulations, he recalled later, Lord Lovat replied: “Ah, but that’s the English War Office. You and I are both Scottish, and that doesn’t apply.”


Thanks to Mr. Millin for his courage and the inspiration he provided to men who needed it that day.  And I hope to someday see him in heaven.  I'm pretty sure he'll be there, and I hope he pipes me ashore then.

Scary if true

Don't know for certain the truth of this whole affair, but this makes sense to me.  Even if we were to assume this article is wrong, the question would remain:  Does the Muslim world see it the same way?  After all, it's well known that Arafat, a "peace-lover" in the eyes of the Western world, would make a pro-peace statement in the West, and then run home to his cronies and tell the Islamic media that he didn't really mean it, and that the goal of destroying Israel was still there.

So I don't know.  But I figure the smart money is on this being a ploy to make Islam look stronger in the Mideast, and humiliate the US a bit.  And if the elite and the politicians are too ignorant to know what they're doing, that's just a bonus.

PS- If anybody out there cares, I posted a brief comment about this on my Facebook page too.  Look for Guntotin Wacko.

Huh???

Wow.  Here's an article that explains one of Bambi's problems: He thinks he's so darn smart because he's always been told how gosh-darn smart he is.  Not the most original idea, but here's the quote that I think makes the whole article worthwhile:

“He is so supremely confident in his intellect that he forgets, on his way to the correct decision, to slow down and pick up not-so-gifted stragglers.”

Again, wow.  Just wow.  Of course the woman who made this comment no doubt considers herself to be waaay smarter than the rest of us, or anyone that doesn't agree with Bambi.

So Margaret Carlson, here's what I think:  Screw you.  You're an elitist, arrogant snob who is so convinced of your own superiority that you think everyone that disagrees with you and your ilk does so from stupidity.

And of course, I suspect you think that everyone who disagrees is also part of the "fringe".  Of course, you are too ignorant to realize that, when 70% of the American People disagree with you, there's a good chance that you might actually be on the fringe, and not them.

But you're too convinced of your own superiority.  So again, Margaret Carlson, screw you.

Another brilliant move

Once upon a time, politicians here in Michigan had a brilliant idea:  ban smoking in bars.  All of them.  Across the board.  Gotta protect the health of the people, no matter what the cost.

Opponents warned that it would be a disaster.  After all, if people go out to bars to drink, play pool and hang out, they'll often want to smoke.  If they can't smoke, then they're less likely to go out.  If they don't go out, they won't spend money.  Bars will suffer a downturn (possibly fatal) in business, tax revenues will drop, and the economy in the State will suffer.

But no.  Those people are fools.  A smoking ban would have no effect.  The politicians and anti-smoking people said so!  And thus the ban passed....

.... And now behold!  42% of respondents to a recent poll found their business has dropped since the ban went into effect.  Along with loss of jobs & loss of tax revenues, the State has even found a drop in lottery revenues.

Great thinking folks!

At some point, I hope that politicians and bureaucrats figure out that screwing over small and medium businesses, and costing them money is somehow harmful to the economy.

But I doubt it.  They're all morons.

Stupid Media Tricks

I was just watching the semi-professional local news here in my little town. They were talking about the fact that GM is gonna be selling stock again. (Even my mom, a retired GM employee, is uninterested BTW). But what grabbed me and almost set me off is the repeated announcement that GM is "going to go public".

WTF? I thought that the taxpayers in this country owned the Company already. So isn't that already "public"? Apparently not. They also stated that "the government owns 61% of the Company".

Really? Again, I thought the taxpayers owned it. The government in this country shouldn't own crap! If it's bought with my money, then don't I own it?

Grrr. In most cases, the media shills for Bambi and his cronies, but in this case, while it's still the most likely excuse, it could just be that the local news people aren't professional enough to know the difference.

Idiots.

Jukebox of the Mind

Here's another entry for Jukebox of the Mind. This one goes back to the fall of 1979. It was a hit then- I heard it almost every time I was allowed to use my mom's 1974 Plymouth Gold Duster to go anyplace. Ah, the joys of AM radio!

To this day, I still don't know if I like this song. After 30 years, I don't think I like it, but I guess there's some room for question. But I know I don't want to like it. It just gets into my head and won't leave. Sigh.

At any rate, come with me and escape, thanks to Rupert Holmes.

Religion of Peace...

....My aunt sally!.

The last paragraph really sets the tone.

Today's Jukebox Hit

Here's an entry for jukebox in my head: Sunny Sweeney doing "Next big Nothing". Not great quality, but if you love REAL country music, give her a listen.

Jukebox in my head

Another new feature: The Jukebox in my head. These are the songs that magically appear in my head, and won't leave. It happens to everyone, so feel free to share the current playlist on your jukebox!

Stupidity reigns supreme

A new feature here, a re-imagining of what I once used to call the "WTF were they thinking" award. Now it's named, thanks to a saying of my dad's from many years back, "Stupidity reigns supreme".

So the first winner of the GTW "Stupidity reigns supreme" award is Harry Reid of Nevada, who once again showed a complete lack of forethought by announcing that he can't understand how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican.

What an asshat. Hopefully the good people of Nevada will rid the Country of this douchenozzle come November. Until then, he can take pride in making me shake my head and exclaim that "stupidity reigns supreme".

Thanks to weaselzippers.
