About the Times

Notice how when I link a story from the New York Times, it's a pretty important matter. In other words, the pieces of shit at the Times can't spit their liberal garbage into the story. Thanks for the reporting though. Mc Carthyism... that's funny.

Taking A Step In The Right Direction

Wahington, April 27 - The House passed a bill on Wednesday making it a federal crime for any adult to transport an under-age girl across state lines to have an abortion without the consent of her parents. A vote on a similar bill is expected in the Senate later this spring or early this summer, and backers says its chances are good. - NY Times

Finally some good news on that issue...

Will it last the test of time?

Airbus Redefines Name

Toulouse, France, April 27 - With a whisper more than a roar, the largest passenger airliner ever built, the Airbus Company's Airbus 380, took off on its maiden flight today, Europe's newest competitor in the battle with the Boeing Company.

My personal opinion.... Congratulations Europe, well done. Next time though, why don't you try building your own design? Go for something new and bold. Oh wait, I forgot about the Concorde. What a joke. You know in the end that an apartment on wings isn't going to financially live up to your hopes and dreams. Granted, it will look pretty cool flying overhead, but are you that fearful of Boeing? You know you can't beat Boeing, right? Just making sure.

Major snowstorm to hit parts of the East and Midwest

Operation Vowel Storm

Operation Vowel Storm

Cities of Sjlbvdnzv, Grzny to Be First Recipients- Before an emergency joint session of Congress yesterday, President Bush announced US plans to deploy over 75,000 vowels to the war-torn region of Bosnia. The deployment, the largest of its kind in American history, will provide the region with the critically needed letters A,E,I,O,U, and Y, and is hoped to render countless Bosnian words more pronounceable. "For six years, we have stood by while names like Ygrjvslhv and Tzlynhr and Glrm have been horribly butchered by millions around the world," Bush said. "Today, the United States must finally stand up and say 'Enough.' It is time the people of Bosnia finally had some vowels in their incomprehensible words. The US is proud to lead the crusade in this noble endeavor."


Sorry, I couldn't help myself, I thought this was absolutely hilarious!

We all make mistakes

Clinton Impeachment was Retaliation

April 21, 2005 — Republican Congressman Henry Hyde (6th Congressional, Illinois) made some surprising comments Thursday on the impeachment hearings of President Bill Clinton. He now says Republicans may have gone after Clinton to retaliate for the impeachment of Richard Nixon.

So?

In other news, birds are capable of flying and trees have leaves...

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger making his first appearance as pope.

Benedict XVI

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was elected pope today, taking the name Benedict XVI, then telling a wildly cheering crowd from a balcony on St. Peter's Basilica, "I entrust myself to your prayers." The 265th leader of the Roman Catholic Church, smiling broadly, was introduced by Cardinal Medina Estevez of Chile, who emerged from behind huge velvet drapes to announce, "We have a new pope!" Click on the title for the story....

Black smoke indicated that the cardinals had voted inconclusively in their first attempt to elect a successor to Pope John Paul II.

And the new Pope is....

Wait, maybe not today. Black smoke was seen billowing out of the smokestack at the Sistine Chapel which means that a Pope has not been chosen yet. At first, the thousands of people crowding St. Peter's square thought it was white and started cheering. It was soon realized however that there would be no choice today as the bells of St. Peter's Basilica were silent. Tomarrow perhaps?

Anti-Japanese propaganda

Still blinded by red

Chinese protests

China Looks Ridiculous nonetheless Reminds the World of Nationalism

The Chinese people have made a tremendous effort, especially within the last week, to protest everything Japanese. Chinese are protesting against school textbooks they say whitewash Japan's wartime atrocities in China, against Tokyo's bid for a permanent seat on the U.N. Security Council, and on other disputes. Here's the deal... Japan was an Imperialistic country about sixty years ago. Their militaristic nature allowed the island country to obtain resources and raw materials found almost everywhere but in Japan. Their conquests were abruptly halted when they made the epitome of mistakes and attacked the United States. Americans came together, as only we can, and eventually nuked two Japanese cities which, in the course of two days, ended World War II in a blinding, hot flash of fuck you... this is for Pearl Harbor. Ever since 1945, Japan has been ordered and subsequently adopted the notion of not having a full military. Their constitution, unchanged since 1947, allows only for a small defense force. Here is an excerpt from Chapter II:
Article 9. Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the
Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the
threat or use of force as a mean of settling international disputes. (2) In order to accomplish
the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential,
will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized.

Well now, don't we feel a little stupid? No, war is not a good thing to think about.. but neither is going to the bathroom, yet it will still always happen. Conflict is within human nature, it's a survival tool. Anyways, Japan is now like a frog as opposed to a snake. But the frog still wants to hop around and refuses any notion that it was ever a snake. The frog even writes books about how it's always been amphibious. I'm sure we all feel that the frog has become a major world player and a technological genious, however, we all remember the snake.

China, up until about the last fourty years or so can be seen as a dragon's egg. The snake wanted the egg before it could hatch and a dragon would grow. It was a bit too eager though and got eaten by an Eagle clasping a set of arrows. The dragon eventually learned to breathe fire in 1964 and since 1949, has been governed by a ridiculous set of laws it learned from a bear up north. The body of the dragon now is trying to at least maintain order with its head. It has been a bit confused since 1991 when it lay witness to its mentor, the bear, commit suicide, yet the dragon's body has nearly doubled since then.

Sorry, I got a little carried away with the analogies. China is essentially like the United States, but in fast forward... so fast in fact that the tape has been a little screwed up. The Chinese people mean well, but how can you protest a country that's in such a better position economically and culturally. Why not just ban the textbooks. I mean, if you depend on Japan that much... it's kind of pointless to be chanting, "kill all Japanese". And who would have ever thought that China would even be a member of the U.N. let alone a permanent security council member. You should be thrilled to have such respect from the rest of the world, and not condeming another nation out of jealousy. Basically, both countries have so much to be proud of and both share an equally promising future. Too me, the Chinese look ridiculous as protesters... it's really a joke. Just the same, Japan was almost asking for it.

All said, it's probably a good thing that Japan doesn't maintain a military, because if conflict broke out... to put it bluntly, they would be crushed, without even a breath of fire. By the way, the eagle took a flower from the dragon and doesn't want to give it back, for it should have never belonged to the monster in the first place. Free Taiwan!

Thousands flee Talang

Eric Ruldoulph pleads guilty

Eric R. Rudolph, accused of a string of deadly bombings in the Southeastern United States, pleaded guilty in federal court today to carrying out a fatal bombing at an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Ala.

Thousands flee Sumatra volcano

TANJUNG AUA, Indonesia (Reuters) -- More than 25,000 panicked residents have been evacuated from the slopes of a rumbling volcano on Indonesia's Sumatra island and officials raised the alert level as the mountain's activity intensified.
The heightened rumbling of Mount Talang has coincided with a string of moderate earthquakes on Sumatra, which is still recovering from a massive December 26 quake and tsunami that killed nearly 130,000 people in Aceh province to the north.
"The status of Mount Talang is now at top alert," Surono, a vulcanologist from the Directorate of Vulcanology and Geophysics in the Java city of Bandung, told Reuters.

What was he thinking?

Capitol Bomber

Not quite. However, special police tackled a man standing outside the Capitol building April 11 with two black suitcases on either side of him. Early reports show that they were not explosive and the man was undocumented from China. He reportedly asked to see the President. I would say he's pretty lucky he had the wrong building.... try pulling that stunt in front of the White House and you're more likely to get shot by the Secret Service.

We know who wins here!

So How Are the Republicans?

I was just wondering... (if anyone even reads this) tell me what your thoughts are on the Republicans in power. Personally, I think everything is running pretty smooth. Yeah, we're at war.. but what can you expect. It's a great honor to be a part of a nation with such a brave and intelligent military. Our armed forces deserve the utmost respect from every American. The only reason we are still here and have flourished is because of veterans and GI's alike. On another note, I think some of the laws that have been passed in recent years are doing a great deal of good as well. Let me know what you think? Obviously, a member of the far left (a.k.a. Howard Dean fanatic) would be disgusted by these same laws. But that's just their nature.. to fear and cry. It's just too funny that they don't realize how much they owe to the other side of politics.
