This is pathetic:

For more than 30 years, crowds have flocked to the small English fishing village of Lyme Regis to watch an annual tradition two teams of fishermen standing on wooden platforms as human bowling pins, hurling a dead giant eel at each other. But the ritual was abruptly abandoned after an animal rights activist threatened to draw negative publicity to the latest tournament, organizers said Saturday.

It disgusts me how these people just rolled over and played dead because of some whiny animal rights activist who failed to consider the fact the eel was already deceased and could care absolutely less about being that way.  It’s not like they were killing the eel, they were just having some fun and raising money for the local coast guard who, get this, are expected to protect the endangered species the idiot animal rights activist has now endangered even more because the coast guard won’t have as much money to work with.  If anything, these people should have welcomed the opportunity to make this a cause celebre for all the people like me tired of idiot animal rights activists who go too far and knee-jerk react to everything that just doesn’t look quite right in their own myopic judgment.

Gov. Mitt Romney has apologized for referring to the troubled Big Dig construction project as a "tar baby" during a fundraiser with Iowa Republicans, saying he didn’t know anyone would be offended by the term some consider a racial epithet.

Exactly what did Romney think "tar baby" meant?

Stupid, Mitt.  Very, very stupid.

Some people feel that a politician apologizing for such a transgression merit the entire incident being forgotten ( see "it’s all about sex" ).  I don’t go that route.  Romney’s already in deep doo-doo politically, this needs to nail it.  I absolutely do not for one second believe Mitt Romney had no idea what a "tar baby" was.

A lot of print has gone into the debate over what exactly "marriage" is. Namely, some homosexuals have been fighting desperately for the honor of being called Mr. and Mr. or Mrs. and Mrs. so-and-so. Along with this debate, part of the counter-argument has been that if we open the door to gays getting married, people will start wanting polygamy ( too many wives ), child molestation ( marrying kids ), and all sorts of other strange perverted "unions" slightly more normal people don’t want to imagine being consumated.

Well, slightly more normal peeps, I’m here to tell you it’s too late. The war has been lost already:

…..Sanderson was one of seven owners who swore undying devotion to their pets in rituals Thursday night at the Ottobar, where three dogs, two cats, a tarantula and a turtle were (unlawfully) united with human caretakers in what bar owner Mike Bowen called the city’s first "interspecies marriage ceremony."

Now, unlike the in-your-face-we’re-gonna-sue-until-you-acquiesce style of the gays, the beastiality proponents have taken a slightly lower-brow approach:

The tongue-in-cheek event had nothing to do with bestiality, participants said, but had something to do with animal rights, something to do with equal rights, and a lot to do with being single and thirty-something, weathering the taunts of the happily married and going home every night to your dog.

Yeah, right.  I’m not buying it.  Steve Diamond, in a moment of obvious weakness from the euphoria of the moment, revealed their true intentions:

"Same-sex, interspecies, I don’t care. Love is transcendent," said Steve Diamond, putting down his drink to pet his four-inch tarantula, Barbarella. "I’ll be a good husband to her," he pledged. "I’m the one who does all the cooking and cleaning."

And what else Steve?  I mean, you’re just a housekeeper if you do the cooking and cleaning.  To be a HUSBAND, you WILL be expected to provide something else or the bitch will sue you for everything you’ve got for not giving it to her.

I have seen no lawsuits yet to stop this unholy act.  Therefore, it’s over.  "Marriage" is now whatever anyone wants it to be.  Kinda makes me wonder what all the fuss over the gays was.

with sanity, that is.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has ordered government and cultural bodies to use modified Persian words to replace foreign words that have crept into the language, such as "pizzas" which will now be known as "elastic loaves," state media reported Saturday.

Folks, you guys in Iran have a serious problem on your hands.  Your president is whacko.  You might think ours is a little looney, but Mahmoud’s lost it totally.

Now, surely you guys in Iran have to understand why a good part of the civilized world thinks that a man intimidated by the word "pizza" is not someone we should trust at the switch of nuclear bombs.

A new poll by InsiderAdvantage shows Johnson leading McKinney 46 percent to 21 percent, with one-third of voters undecided. The survey recorded the responses of 480 likely voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.

Oh, please, don’t tease me like that!  Meanwhile, Andrew Young, former mayor of Atlanta, ahs endorsed McKinney for this very logcal reason:

"Congress needs controversy," Young said in his endorsement, a recording of which was played at the news conference. "The last thing we need in a democracy is people who don’t think for themselves. … I don’t always agree with Cynthia McKinney, but I always agree with her right to express her opinions because that creates a dialogue that makes democracy work."

OK, there ya go Atlanta natives.  The very good reason to vote Cynthia.  I’m not sure what it is he’s referring to, but there it is.  I’m not sure how much of an impact Young has in Atlanta any more, he doesn’t even live there.

Cynthia’s justification for why she should continue to be allowed to concerning herself more with bitchslapping cops and getting nothing for Atlanta is:

She cast herself as the "true Democrat" in the race and said Republicans are trying to influence the outcome by crossing over and voting for Johnson.

Yeah, get that, since Johnson’s as black as she is, he’s not Democrat enough.

Clue here Cynthia, it’s not just Republicans that think you’re a disgusting person.  Last time you lost, it was the J-E-W-S.  This time, it will be the not-Democrat-enoughs.  You can’t keep winning by excluding large blocks of people you don’t like.  It’s that simple.  You’re there to represent the people of your District, not just the ones you like.

I’d love nothing more to see than the exit polls come August 8.  Especially within the police force, which I bet, has just as many Democrats as Republicans if not more.  I can pretty much bet how the J-E-W-S are gonna vote.

I don’t trust polls very much at all. However, polls with wide margins are usually a good indicator of what’s going to happen. However, the size of this one, 480 people, seems to be a good effort. We’ll see how accurate it is in a couple of weeks.

Andrea Yates, believe this or not, was found NOT GUILTY of systematically killing her four kids by drowning them in a bathtub. Now, everyone admitted she did it, she was just found LEGALLY not guilty. That’s BS folks. She killed them. No if’s, and’s, or but’s. Now, because of this, at some point down the road, there is the legal ( if not realistic ) possibility that Andrea could walk free again. That’s BS folks. this woman is a threat to society. She’s intentionally killed four people already. A lot of people who kill only once get the death penalty. When someone is so FUBAR that they don’t realize that murder is a bad thing, that’s not a good reason to let them live. The instanity plea, in the case of murder, especially in the case of innocent kids, has GOT to go!

This is just nuts. David Ignatius of the Washington Post has garnered a certain amount of criticism in the blog world for telling Condi Rice how to stop the Israeli/Hezbollah conflict.  His plan is simple, accept the Hezbollah offer.  Now, I’ve got a serious problem with David’s idea.  Well, actually, I’ve got several.  The primary being that Hezbollah supposedly was organized in 1982 to fight the Israeli occupation of Lebanon.  In 1990, the Israelis agreed to leave Lebanon, in essence, agreeing to Hezbollah’s demands.  In exchange, Hezbollah agreed to disarm their military.  So, David, where did all these missiles come from?

I think it’s quite evident how seriously Hezbollah takes a ceasefire.  There will be peace until Hezbollah once again thinks it can destroy the Israelis.  That’s all.

Secondly, I find it quite odd that David thinks the US dealing with a terrorist organization that represents no country would stop the Israelis from dealing with the Lebanese.  Clue here David, it won’t.  Although the US could pressure on Israel, the Lebanese are the ones being attacked.  It’s up to them to do the negotiating, not the terrorist organization.  That’s just stupid David.  If Condi recognizes the Hezbollah terms as you assert she should, the Lebanese government is dead and Hezbollah will rule an entire country, including their entire military.  Is that what you truly want?

Third, the US, I can’t believe I’m telling David this, has declared a war against terrorism.  Hezbollah is a terrorist organization.  Get the problem here David?  We’ll deal with Lebanon on how to deal with their terrorist problem.  What Condi did when she went to Beirut was tell the world that the US WILL deal with Lebanon.  We will NOT deal with Hezbollah.

When those terms come from Beirut and NOT Syria or Iran, then we should talk.  Until then, let the bombs continue to fall.

And lastly, what David, and ALL of media seem to ignore, is there IS a ceasefire in effect right now.  What good would another one do?  Until Hezbollah respects the ceasefire THEY agreed to in 1990, what’s the point of yet another one?  Huh David?  How many times do people like you need to be fooled?

I find it quite disturbing that someone paid to work for a prestigious publication such as the Washington Post doesn’t know how to Wiki.  Of course, I’m not naive enough to assume that he even wanted to.

I just love this guy:

Guess he’s not too concerned about second hand smoke?

Other titles pondered were:

  • Flirting with disaster
  • Man fined for exposing volcano to second hand smoke.
  • One thing here is credited as being potentially lethal.
  • Cigarette butts destroy the environment.

Gimme some other good ones in comments!

This folks, believe it or not, is a REPUBLICAN fundraiser:

Mimi fundraiser

This folks, is what the partying Democrats are offering at the same time:

( Yeah, I know, I’ve run that pic before. )

My friend over at Idude.org has pointed to a little ‘help" the US is getting ready to supply Israel with in their issue with Hezbollah.  Namely this:

As Idude and Wiki points out, that is a 5,000 pound missile.  This ain’t your run of the mill scud folks.  When this thing hits, it will make a serious boom!

What ya got to counter that one, Syria?
