Did you hear that Adam Ant started a new band with former Pink Floyd and Jefferson Airplane band members? He calls their new style of music "antacid".

Martha burst into her husband's study and asked "What are you doing with all those computers?" George replied "I'm putting them on my network for lan's sake!"

revisionism

i haven't ever been in a left-coast school, so i can't verify this kid's story, but i did see some similar underlying leftist drivel portrayed at the monticello and new gettysburg reeducation camps a couple of years ago...

by the sackload

ann coulter, monday evening:

“When liberals say, ‘nothing is sacrosanct,’ they mean ‘nothing other Americans consider sacrosanct is sacrosanct.’ They demonstrate their open-mindedness by ridiculing other people’s dogma, but will not brook the most trifling criticism of their own dogmas.”

and now for something completely different

the two oddest b-17 variants you may ever see: real and imagined

you can't spell "Big Oil" without "B.O."

update & bump: the crude thickens...

what’s not receiving a lot of focus is Obama’s own economic interests in preventing Gulf drilling... Obama’s wealth is largely held in two Vanguard funds. Vanguard was among the companies that dumped BP stock shortly before the disaster. It now turns out that BP informed the office of mineral managment that there were problems with the well back in mid-February. That led to the sacking of Birnbaum, no doubt, though Pelosi tried... to blame it on burrowed-in Bush holdovers. Apart from the timing of the stock dumping, and the revelation that the feds had indeed been informed earlier on of potential problems, there’s the issue of Soros’ timely investment in Petrobras, backed up by US billions. Many of us found it scandalous that Obama was opposed to US offshore drilling before the disaster, but ready to invest in offshore drilling for Brazil, which... has the greatest biodiversity on the planet.

Obama is the top recipient of BP (British Petroleum) PAC and individual money over the past 20 years.

U.S. exempted BP's Gulf of Mexico drilling from environmental impact study.

update: i just thought of one "fun fact" imao missed:

The etymology of the name "vuvuzela" is obscure. Popular myth says that the name "vuvuzela" was coined when a drunken French soccer fan slurred out the name "beelzebub". However, the word is actually the name of the Mayan god of the root canal, a giant flaming bronze alligator whose sharpened drill-like snout bored through the eardrums of his "patients" to perform dental surgery. There is only one hieroglyph in existence of that accursed name, as the mere thought of the "vuvuzela" was simply too gruesome for the Mayan blood-cultists to handle.

update: i just found a cool site that displays airspace maps using the google maps interface - runwayfinder.com

living under one of the most complex airspaces in the us, i see quite a few aircraft every day. lots of airliners around dfw, military aircraft around carswell-nasjrb, and fedex 777s around alliance. i did have two unusual spottings recently though:

"(People voted for Obama) because he was a good speaker and said nice, positive things. And I guess a lot of people thought that’s what he’d do as president: stand around and say positive stuff. But when Obama became president, he rightly realized he was actually supposed to do stuff. So he’s tried to do stuff to the best of his limited ability. The result is trillions more in debt, a still failing economy, and half the ocean covered in oil, but hey, he’s trying. And we’re going to yell at him for doing a bad job? It’s like we took a fry cook from McDonald’s and decided to make him a neurosurgeon because he looked good in a surgical mask and then got mad at him when he killed his first patient. Who is really to blame here?"

i think it's still debatable, president hussein may or may not know what he's doing...

funny how imao isn't joking this time...

are you smarter than a fifth grader?

or congress?

surprise surprise surprise!

the acorn points to the tree it fell from:

The radical activist group ACORN "works" for the Democratic Party and deliberately promotes election fraud, ACORN employees told FBI investigators, according to an FBI document dump Wednesday.

The documents obtained by Judicial Watch, a watchdog group, are FBI investigators' reports related to the 2007 investigation and arrest of eight St. Louis, Mo., workers from ACORN's Project Vote affiliate for violation of election laws. All eight employees involved in the scandal later pleaded guilty to voter registration fraud.

Project Vote is ACORN's voter registration arm. Project Vote continues to operate despite the reported dissolution of the national structure of ACORN... One employee told the FBI that ACORN headquarters is "[working] for the Democratic Party."

According to one report, an ACORN employee said the purpose of "[f]raudulent cards" was "[t]o cause confusion on election day to keep polls open longer," "[t]o allow people who can't vote to vote," and "[t]o allow to vote multiple times."

Another report quotes an employee saying, "Project Vote will pay them whether cards fake or not - whatever they had to do to get the cards was attitude." Project Vote pays based on the number of cards and "that's why they were so reckless," the report says.

the darker underbelly

"A more obvious spectacle of... cultural suicide cannot be imagined."

"(Islamofascism's) goal is hegemony over the Near East, and the imposition of Sharia law, a draconian system of theocratic misogyny. Rather than heaping scorn and abhorrence on these fanatics, the modern intellectual helps, aids, abets, forgives and excuses them, even to the point of refusing to admit what he sees and knows. Instead of expressing solidarity for women trapped behind the veil, or for homosexuals stoned to death by this inhuman law, the modern intellectual blames the Christians for seeking theocracy, heaps scorn and mockery on Christ, and upbraids as racism jokes, criticism, or any other opposition to the Jihad program."

the least of my objections to this plan to tax new media to support newspapers is that it's not very environmentally-friendly.

(The Palestinian people are) backwards, genocidal, hyper-violent, sad-sack Nazi wannabes led by terrorists who would happily murder every Jew on the planet if they could get away with it.

(The Israelis are) a tiny Western democracy surrounded by backwards savages who want to murder them down to the last child because they're Jews. Moreover, despite all the claims to the contrary, they're the most restrained people on earth. If you don't believe that, consider the fact that they could simply drive the Palestinians off their land and take it at any point, but instead, they've chosen to permanently live beside of millions of people who make the Manson family look sane. If the Israelis were somehow replaced by Americans, we'd drive the Palestinians off their land at gunpoint in six months tops -- and we'd be perfectly justified in doing so.

So, that brings us to the relief flotillas... this time around, the Jew-haters on the flotilla made a critical Darwin-Award-worthy error: they assaulted an Israeli commando team with knives, sticks, and guns.

environmentalists didn't cause the oil spill

, but they sure helped:

(quite edited)

Why do we drill in the ultra-deep of the ocean? Environmentalists.

Since it is so much easier, cheaper, and safer, oil companies would much rather drill on land or shallow water. But over the years, environmentalists have succeeded in pushing drilling off land and away from our coastlines.

There are many small pumping units off the side of the road all over the Texas and Oklahoma oilfields, but the pumps are hardly noticeable. If BP had a drilling accident in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge (which has had a 30-year ban on drilling), it would have been on barren land and affected almost no one. But now, we have the biggest environmental disaster in our history.

The people who would like to blame a lack of regulation never stop to consider that part of the blame lies with pushing rigs so far out.

This is a prime example of the law of unintended consequences.
