WAS THIS CENSORSHIP?


















THE ONLY DOWNSIDE TO the great movie, The Illusionist, is that Jessica Biel WAS NEVER SHOWN LIKE THIS. Can you belive she finished out of the money in The Best Booty in Hollywood Contest? The Illusionist is a period piece; meaning there are commoners and dukes and high necked tops and itchy virgins and long long dresses and shit, so she was always 1902 looking. Nonetheless she is drop dead gorgeous. Had I directed, I guarantee that things would have been lots different. Pix via I Don't Like You in That Way. Go there and start clicking on the pix for some giant size views.

Jessica Alba didn't win the Best Booty in Hollywood either. And I don't think she is in any movies.

And Muslim men secretly lust for her

"ONE BILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MUSLIMS ARE READY TO KILL YOU!"

THEY ARE WINNING: If you doubt it, if you are a Lefty Head up your ass Democrat; an Ivy League student or faculty member; or especially a movie star; there is nothing that will cure you of your cowardice. The rest of you take heed; From today's New York Times
A French high school philosophy teacher and author who carried out a scathing attack against the Prophet Muhammad and Islam in a newspaper commentary says he has gone into hiding under police protection after receiving a series of death threats, including one disseminated on an online radical Islamist forum.

The teacher, Robert Redeker, 52, wrote in the center-right daily Le Figaro 10 days ago that Muhammad was �a merciless warlord, a looter, a mass-murderer of Jews and a polygamist,� and called the Koran �a book of incredible violence.�

The Redeker case is the latest manifestation in Europe of a mounting ideological battle that pits those who believe Islam and the Prophet Muhammad can be criticized in the name of free speech against those in the Muslim community who believe no criticism can be tolerated...

... �I can�t work, I can�t come and go and am obliged to hide,� Mr. Redeker told Europe 1 radio in a telephone interview from an undisclosed location on Friday. �So in some way, the Islamists have succeeded in punishing me on the territory of the republic as if I were guilty of a crime of opinion.�

Mr. Redeker, who has kept in contact with news agencies by cellphone and e-mail, said that his wife and their children had also been threatened with death. He told Europe 1 that his wife was in hiding with him, but he was less clear about his three children, saying that one of them had been forced to move and that another was in a boarding school.

Asked to describe the sort of threats he had received, Mr. Redeker replied, �You will never feel secure on this earth. One billion, three hundred thousand Muslims are ready to kill you.�
Teachers and all members of the "artistic community" are the easiest people to scare into submission. Threaten the latest sex object with facial damage and you will see a vanishing act, and fast; should you threaten any teacher you will see cowardice in action (remember Berkeley in the 60s). Now stop a moment. Consider that both teaching and freedom of expression in the arts have already been seriously curbed. Our kids are only learning what Muslims will allow them to learn while the entire teaching profession "goes along" because we don't want trouble. We only see TV news that Muslims will allow, we only read in our newspapers and magazines things "approved" by Muslims. We have sharia law increasingly applied to our lives with no protest whatsoever from the elites. The specific writings "offending" Muslims have been translated and are HERE

Malkin is having yet another tantrum BALANCE OF POST DELETED BECAUSE I WAS WRONG. I HAVE ISSUED AN APOLOGY HERE....

9/29/2006

Be sure to read these posts by Malkin before Monday. They are a revelation regarding Islam that is eye opening to say the least. More and more the West is capitulating to Muslim demands for control of our press, books, arts, and thought. Please, read

9/28/2006

You all know that Michael Yon is not a left wing weenie, so when he begins to blast the army in Iraq, you gotta listen. His latest post is HERE. His email,which may have appeared on NRO, is partially quoted below:
I can say with certainty that the United States military is censoring. It remains unclear if this is a general policy, though there are recent inquiries to the office of the Secretary of Defense. I await response. Or, perhaps, the censorship is merely the policy of LTC Barry Johnson who is responsible for operations involving embeds. Barry Johnson is said to be the most quoted man in Iraq . I've learned to trust nothing he says. I do know for a fact that Johnson has been untruthful with the media. If Johnson calls me on this, I'll take the time to prove it.

While sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, sisters, brothers and friends, fight and die in Iraq and Afghanistan, the military apparently is preventing journalists from telling the story. They attempt to deflect accusations of censorship by allowing in just enough reporters to appear transparent.

MOVIE RECOMMENDATION: Because my entire extended family was raving about it (Children as young as nine) I went to see The Illusionist today. Go see it. Today, if possible. It's terrific on every level including that rarest of birds: story; meaning it actually has an ending. Don't wait for it to come out on DVD, this is big screen stuff.

ONCE AGAIN, LET'S HEAR IT FOR BRAVE "ARTISTS"

In response to the featured piece in the WSJ basically blaming the Muslims for Mozart opera being shut down in Berlin, I replied thusly:

Cowards
Howard Veit - West Hollywood, Calif.

It is not the Muslims who are exposed here. It's the cowardice of the arts community that stepped up to the plate, and whined. It should come as no surprise. Think back to the behaviors of the movie stars in response to the 9/11 attack. To a woman they fled the country or hid out in Bel Air too terrified to do anything. Artists only talk about bravery. Their lives are about pretending everything. It is a mistake to think any in the community has guts. They laid down for Hitler, went along with Mussolini, and were in the lead of the "Better red than Dead" crowd in the 1950s. Think about it.

I experienced something very new when I went to the movies today. The trailers were all for network TV shows. Can't ever remember seeing that. There may have been a couple of movies tossed in, I can't remember.

COWARDS ALL

Why is it that bloggers are the only ones who defend the Administration? An administration that is either clueless or cowardly when it comes to communicating and taking a stand. Nonetheless here is my "defense" of those bozos regarding the release of the NIE.

1. The Democrats were semi-clever to demand the release of the entire document.
2. The White House was (as usual) stupid to agree.

Now, we all know that these secret five inch tomes are filled with sources, sources that would be killed if their names were known. So the Democrats demanded that these sources be revealed (and by inclusion, killed). The Democrats would rather have our spies killed because they want to weaken the War against Terror. And they want to take the heat off the treasonous leaks from the traitors inside CIA.

It's all very depressing. How can this country last as a democracy, especially since our "leaders" on the Left are for censorship at every level, the supression of conservative speech, and control over the courts?

Blogger is screwing up again and for some reason your comments just disappear????? Posting ain't happening either

More hard to believe FBI incompetence, this time their handling of the five year old Anthrax "scare" here at Barone

More on the George Allen
smear is HERE, but the MSM continues to assert that he used the "N" word.

Gasoline in LA is now selling at $1.61 at many ARCO stations. Late add: emails asking what stations sell at this price. Arco stations at 4th and Pico, 26th and Santa Monica Fwy., several up an down Crenshaw Blvd in the South Bay.

Network Nightmare:
a World Series between the Twins and Athletics, two tiny market teams.

Another "first rate" news organization has joined the rest of the MSM in the deeper end of the cess pool joining the New York and LA Times. Power Line has a line by line expose' showing the misreporting of the NIE by the formerly reliable Associated Press.

The Clinton explosion on Sunday was planned in advance. This becomes obvious as we observe Hillary's aggressive pro war, pro interventionist responses this AM. It's hard to believe, but the Democrats are about to seize the "tough on terror" banner from the as usual sleep walking Republicans. Bush announcing he'd release the NIE and then releasing only portions is stupid; you either release it or you don't.

Melanie Phillips, author of Londonistan, has a must read post up regarding the descent of London into a Muslim dominated political structure.
Stock Market: while you were sleeping the market is soaring and has been for a long time. Don't just pay attention to the Dow or even the S&P 500, keep your eye on the Composite Index which includes every stock. While the Dow will probably break the old high, the NYSE (Chart on Left) Index has quite a way to go. Most notable is the breath taking rise from the lows of '04. Many stocks have soared more than 200% in that time, while darlings like Microsoft have died. Even General Motors (bottom) is up fifty percent. I still think that if the Democrats win the election that all bets are off. There are a hell of a lot of Index puts purchased and calls written while this market continues to climb. Other major corporations like Boeing are up more than 100&

9/26/2006

A complete run down of what are apparently phony charges of racism against George Allen are HERE. At Captains Quarters. Link from Patterico. Links to others who examine the charges too. Don't expect Allen's side to appear any time soon on MSM.

THE TREASON PRESS: Let's stop beating around the bush. The New York Times, LA Times, and Washington Post have knowingly deliberately printed "leaked" secret info because they are opposed to the war. Never mind who they kill, their moral values are supreme. They ARE traitors, no mater what they claim and this latest NIE leak 40 days before an election is too obvious for even me to ignore.

GUILTY WHITEY MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

DNC FOOTBALL......in case you didn't watch the "game" last night, just imagine the hard left of the Democratic Party being given the "right" to comment on a game without any restraint on their political slant. Your imagination can't possibly come up with the PC version of a football game that was actually televised. Every breathless pause was filled with phony pitches for more money, as if a two hundred million dollar stadium built with our tax dollars was absolutely necessary; that a game that costs two hundred dollars per seat was somehow beneficial to "the people;" that since us cheap white people didn't give them enough to fund their corrupt political system, taxes should be raised. For what? Hundreds of millions of dollars are required to fund their corrupt police department and projects that will benefit their recently re-elected incompetent mayor. Even worse, Spike Lee, he of the Government Dynamited the Dykes movie and various other hate whitey works, was given at least twenty minutes of time to propagandize against Bush and the Republicans in general while grandly pontificating that we stupid tax payers have a moral obligation to send in even more money "to this great city" in order to purge ourselves of the guilt we have to feel. Contribute or else. Or else what? Well when we elect a Democratic Congress, as we have a moral obligation to do, tax monies will be given to them. Of all the "announcers" only Theismann actually reported on a game being played somewhere, the rest of them taking the moral "high ground" and lecturing us about how much we "owed" to the city of alcoholics, party goers, drug dealers, and whores. It's time we all realized that ESPN has become a high decibel speaker that has as its principal obligation the dissemination of the Left Wing party line. If it wasn't obvious to you before, it should be now.

FOX fires E.D. Hill and lots of people are shocked, shocked I tell you. Nobody seems to know why this change took place and why she was just jerked off the air with no send off. Newshounds has the most detailed story. Rumors abound that producers did not like her, but I think she was the best (only) good thing on the show. If she can be dumped like that anybody can be dumped. There is a short report on mediabistro too, hinting that Hill will be snapped up by other media.

OH NO, IS THE INTELLECTUAL CLASS WRONG AGAIN?

Hanson now sees the probability of a GOP win in the upcoming election and gives the reasons for the change in the electorate. He may or may not be correct, but his opinions resonate with me---probably because I want to believe them. None the less more and more "pundits" are voicing the opinion that if the Democrats do win it will be an upset. GOP to retain both Houses seems like the best bet; gasoline prices help (Bush wasn't responsibile for them going up and he has nothing to do with them coming back down, but that's show biz), so do the now falling interest rates, and consumer confidence is up sharply.

CLASH OF UNCIVILIZATIONS

Might sound like Mexican Illegals, but it ain't.....
And, still, the Africans and Arabs keep coming. The Italian island of Lampedusa has seen more than 10,000 immigrants land this year. The Spanish Canary Islands, more than 19,000. Last month alone there were more than 4,000, nearly equal all of 2005. And last week alone, more than 80 bodies were retrieved after an immigrant boat capsized off the coast of Mauritania on its way to the Canaries. Such incidents have little deterrent effect. As each passage to Europe becomes more deadly, more closely guarded, new ones are found. "Immigration is like a river," says Enrique S�nchez of Spain's Movement for Peace. "If you put a dam up, people go around it."
This from the International Edition of Newsweek, HERE. Link from Pipes, HERE. Europe is the proverbial powder keg waiting for an ignition. Riots and gangs are the result.

Don't tell me, not another deliberate Hollywood rape of our history? Yes, and this time it's the Marines on Iwo Jima that Hollywood will sucker punch. Libertas has the details......

IF YOU AIN'T TALKIN' ABOUT HIM, HE AIN'T LISTENING

The Clinton "interview"----my take is that everything has always been about him. When the interview started to focus on what he did or didn't do about terrorism, he lost it because he could not absorb the possibility that the question had a broader context. What did he, and every president through Reagan, do about terrorism during the past quarter century. He can't think about all that because it would take the focus off him. He saw it as a personal attack at him; another right wing conspiracy to ruin his legacy; the smear patrol after poor innocent me period. He cannot "get" that everything this country has done or didn't do since Reagan cut and ran after 220 marines were killed in the Beirut barracks attack must be scrutinized. Whenever Clinton gets to pose before an audience, all he will display is his narcissism.

For a eye opening juxtaposition of Clinton yesterday and Clinton denying he "ever had sex with that woman," go here to Rodger Schultz. It's a confirmation.

Note his demeanor when he got to talk about his "foundation. He saw this part of the interview as an opportunity to pose and dissemble even about the fund raising to help people. Looking at the fund raising being done, it seems that the foundation is designed as much to help the donors as it is to help "poor people."

A look at what "help" the poor will receive from some of the self centered gazillionaires who were present as his fund raising will show the elitist and superficial Clinton pals at their finest, one of them posing as peacock on left after donating a billion dollars to stop smoking in Africa.

One gazillionaire woman who was torn about which problem to tackle, later settled on climate change, committing herself to work for energy conservation in the 150 high-rise buildings that her company manages in New York City.

The people who run Citigroup made a pledge to see how they can make money off the poor: they cumulatively committed to spend over $1 billion (of shareholder money, not their own) on microfinance programs that provide poor people with loans, savings and insurance. Not free insurance, just plain old profit making insurance. It goes on like this as the wealthy deem it necessary to preen before others by "donating" billions that belong to other people in order to make money from a different demographic. But even more importantly, they get to "look good" to the cocktail party circuit and society dinner dinner crowd. None of these "doners" will admit that they are just making one more investment that they hope will make them even richer and, in passing even more important and respected.

Clinton brings to mind Marlon Brando's definition of an actor: "If you ain't talking about him, he ain't listening." That's Clinton to a tee.

Crude trading below $60 in overnight trading.....Now be careful This time of year is the start of winter in the futures market. Heating oil demand is most likely to stall the current downtrend. You also have the situation that oil topped, meaning all the people who were long didn't see the market going higher and bailed. We are very close to a bottom. Some traders are putting on bull spreads in options looking to make a score.....

The hypocrisy of McCain, Warner et al regarding the treatment of prisoners is on display in all its disgusting details at Malkin who has more than you need to know about the dragging death of our soldiers at the hands of McCain's "freedom fighters." Don't click on the links of the actual killings unless you are prepared to be outraged for at least three hours.

Happy Daze are here again! Yesterday I was able to fill my gas tank for $30, and I cannot remember the last time I was able to do that. Five days ago I commented that gasoline was selling for $1.77 per gallon. Yesterday it was $1.65, down from about $3.30 a month and a half ago. My car fills between 14 and 16 gallons so I'm "saving" $10 on each fill up. And so are you and everyone else in the country. It's (almost) like a tax cut. BTW, heating oil prices are way down as well, good news for the East Coast.

Sometimes a fucking football game can just get to you. Last night's Notre Dame Michigan State game was one of those games. If you missed it, you missed a classic. A comeback by Notre Dame that fight songs are written about. Speaking of football, that huge High School game I posted about on Friday ended up being a slaughter before the largest crowd to see a high school game in SoCal in ten years. One of the teams has ten Division I scholarship players and it showed---52 to 14. Since it was our neighborhood team that won, the parties continued til Saturday morning.

Lots of my friends
are reading and raving about The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11----by Lawrence Wright. It's becoming THE book to read. Take a peek

IF I'D SHOT HER WHEN I MET HER I'D BE OUT OF JAIL BY NOW

How did men become dildos with hairy legs?

Feminism: is it equality, lesbianism, fascism, or just petty bitching about everything? Whatever, some of the the blogging women are at it again blaming their inadequacies on us horrible and violent men. We get so confused by these assaults that we lose sight of reality; you know, the real reality, the one not constructed exclusively by angry women. Here are the few obvious facts about gender equality, glass ceilings, and other middle class concerns women say they have.

All one has to do is watch one of the Discovery Channels whenever they do a piece about dangerous jobs to see the dishonesty of the "feminist" rant. You will not see a single solitary woman in any tough or life threatening job: bridge building, crab fishing, really high rise construction, oil drilling, and so on. If you look at the "real cop" shows, the women you see have fat asses and are completely helpless when it comes to chasing and bringing down a suspect (but the "lady" cops are more than ready to sit around the station house packing their faces with doughnuts while demanding promotions).

Women only want equality (superiority?) in the climate controlled offices; the out of reality movie sets where everybody loves them or is fired; or some interesting research activity that exists solely on government grants; they want gender equality only in places where they can sit on their asses and tell the men, who actually do the heavy lifting, what to do and how to do it, their job knowledge based on a paper they wrote for a History of Feminism course at some university that had an admissions policy that favored women.

That's it. Period. Hypocrisy exposed. Again.

Oh, did I mention sex? I didn't? Well, besides laying around in air conditioned offices telling men what to do while at work, they want "real men" who will do what they are told when in bed. They demand men participate in their achievement of three orgasms per sexual contact. Or else. That is their "manhood" test, the thing that lies under every feminist rant.

When in hell did it become the man's responsibility to get basically frigid women to achieve orgasm? Bullshit! It is a man's responsibility to show up with an erect penis and do several ten minute turns. It's her problem if she can't achieve orgasm. It's not a man's obligation to masturbate them; digitally, orally, or MVD (Mitt Vibrating Dildo). I'd just observe here that once man's obligation becomes masturbating a woman for several hours each night, he gets an NSD (non-sexually transmitted disease) called "totally fed up" at which time the frigid woman calls him a faggot and slouches around her climate controlled office pissing and moaning about those goddam men and filing sexual harassment law suits.

As if anyone ever asked or cared if Albert Einstein was good in bed, or if Thomas Jeffeson could get some woman off while writing the Declaration of Independence in his spare time, or if Godzilla could actually satisfy Mothra. It naturally follows that these women who force men to masturbate them to satisfaction want men who are failures, too tired from several hours of brutal masturbation to perform at work, suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome from hours of various vaginal stimulatory activities using a variety of wooden and plastic devices, or rendered almost speechless because their tongues have been scraped raw from hours of clitoral flicking. All to prove that we are masculine in women's eyes.

So it follows that men who have been reduced to the level of rather large dildos walk around wondering what has come over them and why they don't feel much like a man any more. "You're so lame you can't even find my "G" spot," is a morning after refrain.

So, why do they fake orgasms? To make men feel bad? No, they fake orgasms for themselves. To satisfy their fantasies about themselves. They fake them so they can pretend they actually like sex. Study after study shows that half of women never achieve orgasms, know they cannot, and really don't like sex at all---it follows that if you can't achieve orgasms you won't like sex. To admit that they have that horrifying "orgasmus neverati" condition to anyone other than a $175 per hour female shrink causes FOBLAWS (fear of being left for another woman with bigger tits and a better looking ass who gets off in three minutes four times per half hour and lays around the house watching TV and reading magazines all day) syndrome.

So we men must adjust to having a vibrator permanently inserted into our hands in order to be constantly ready for some really hot sex--for her; the man doesn't count. It's either that or risk having our lack of masculinity "get out." In other words, it's not enough for them to lay around the office telling men who sweat while working their asses off what to do, they want to lay around in the bedroom telling men how to have real sex whose purpose is to get them off "like other women." The reality of Feminism includes instructing men in the art of assisted masturbation, a task that he must perform perfectly or risk being ridiculed by his peers who are told of his sexual inadequacy by their own equally frigid wives; wives who "hear" about it at the beauty parlor or read about it in some newspaper.

The way we men should "handle" this crap? Like we have since the beginning of time: find a younger and hopefully hotter woman; cheat with multiple partners who may or may not like sex either; or in a pinch, just kill them.

So there.

BIN LADEN DEAD???

Late News Blast: Rumors circulate that Bill Clinton had Osama bin Laden killed within hours after taping his appearance for 60 Minutes and battling constant appeals for sex from Carmen Electra (left via Tuna).....Reports from the Clinton camp are claiming that Buba dispatched the brave Sandy Berger to Islamabad and once there Berger found him listed in the phone book and gave him contaminated water to drink, a drink that gave the Great One Typhoid.....Tammy has the goods and links to Ace.

Then there is this one, from Bad Jocks.com. Male cheerleader gets assaulted, first by female from other school who hurled homosexual slurs at him, and is then is punched out by her boyfriend. Their punishment for assault is the stuff Liberal/Lefty weenies are known for. Go there. A much longer, hence boring, version is here.

HO HO, THAT'S RICH

Charlie Rangle warns Chavez to "stay out of Harlem." Right, Charles. Not only did the son of a bitch use a "tax exempt" church in Harlem for political purposes but your constituents packed the place and cheered him. It is my opinion that Blacks hate this country and would like to see it collapse. Me? I'd like to see you collapse.

Libertas, the sort of conservative movie site, is featuring a documentary called "Obsession," a movie that examines radical Islam and makes some startling juxtapositions between radical Islam rallies (Hezbollah etc.) and the Nazi rallies of the 30s, among many other things. The short commentary is HERE, and he links to the Glenn Beck's CNN interview with the producers HERE. Take a look. Everybody is afraid of Muslim retaliation so the movie can't get distribution---so what has happened to free speech? They have already won. BTW the Libertas main site has an interesting examination of why studio heads insist on making movies that are "R"rated when every study shows that they don't make much money. Site is an exceptionally good read right now. Where is FOX in all this? Shhhhh, don't wake them.

I have become a daily reader of Melanie Phillip's terrific blog. Take a trip over there and I think you will be impressed with her brain and her ability to communicate the intricacies of the current battle with Islam. Of course, if you've got a brain yourself you will come away from her site totally pissed off.

But thinking.....

"Liberals aren't having so much fun now that the rabbit has the gun," so says Ann Coulter in a column lefties just hate more than anything. I think it's almost all true, and quite funny.

Who paid for the $185 million in improvements, repairs, and reconstruction of the Superdome--the office of millionaires, billionaires, and gazillionaires? Why all the suckers who donated Katrina money, natch. Schussel lays it out there today in a blow by blow tally of how we all got screwed so the heavy hitters could watch a mediocre team get creamed every week.

Sports??? or is it hypocrisy? I speak of the self centered preening so-called "reporters" who claim they face jail FOR REFUSING TO REVEAL SOURCES. This is a lie. They face jail for taking leaked information from a Grand Jury, a felony. Our legal system is the lynch pin of our democracy, but these narcisstic "reporters" think they are above the law, that it is just their "job" to tamper with a Grand Jury. I hope they rot in jail.

Tonight Rosh HaShanah begins, a time when American Jews can thank their lucky asses they live in America....

If this is a �war on terror�, I dread to think what surrender would look like.
Melanie Phillips, she of the book, Londonistan, has a steel wool bath for Bush, his support of terrorist states in the UN, and the failure of the UN...
All civilised countries should now eject themselves from the UN. The disgraceful scenes of Ahmadinejad being treated this week as an esteemed member of the world community as he took the UN stage graphically illustrated the fact that the UN is not merely useless � it is the global Club of Terror, effectively run by, and in thrall to, tyrannies and corrupt despotisms which outnumber those member states that uphold human rights.
The post is HERE. She is reminding me once again that Bush stinks. I still think the GOP is better than the Democrats but that's like saying that dying of cancer is better than living with one of my ex-wives......

You must click on this Rodger Schultz post. You must read the entire thing. Then mouse over the pic of John Wayne and click. This is a classic post. The link from the Wayne pic is to Real Audio. They are trying to sell a $19 upgrade so a window appears telling you your computer will catch fire if you load the link. Pay no attention. Click to continue.

Now Victor Hanson is on board, we both think the Democrats have blown it, per my post of yesterday. In fact I think both Pelosi and Rangel have suddenly developed rabbit ears and sense that something is wrong with Hugo Chavez. Of course none of the stupid Republicans had the guts to say it.

Ask yourself: Regarding the Texas prison break, did you hear about this or read about it yesterday? I didn't and I blame agenda driven media:
Authorities have identified the five other inmates as illegal aliens from the Weslaco area detained on immigration charges. They were Fernando Garza Cruz, Joel Armando Mata Castro, Vicente Garcia Mendiola, Enrique Pe�a Saenz, and Saul Leonardo Salazar.
Not only were they illegals, they were involved with drugs and somebody helped them from the outside. Entire story is HERE

Sports: half of what we hear on talk radio has to do with the vomit inducing calls at the Oregon vs Oklahoma football game, calls that can only be explained by gamblers fixing the referees. Were I the coach at Oregon I would call a team meeting and determine whether the team wanted to forfeit the game, because Oregon will be booed unmercifilly wherever they go for the next year or more.

Nothing excites a local neighborhood
like a great high school football team. Our neighborhood has the USA Today rated #3 team in the country (Oaks Christian---a private school), that has ten Division One players, including the number one quarterback prospect, the Notre Dame signee Jimmy Clausen, and two High School All Americans on display each week. This week they play the number twelve USA Today team in the country, St. Bonaventure (another private school). Everyone is talking. They could fill a 40,000 seat stadium Friday night. The game had to sell advance tickets to avoid a riot. Lots of fun.

The most boring football game ever?
Well, maybe not ever, but that Monday night 9-0 eye lid closer comes close. So I, like half of LA, switched to the Dodger baseball game which at one time was a joke in which they trailed by four runs going into the ninth. Four home runs tied the game in the bottom of the ninth and another won it in the tenth. Basball can be much more exciting than any 9-0 football game.

Should you have so much as a micro-particle of doubt regarding the bias of the AP, read Malkin's overlong piece today and her piece yesterday.....

Curious about the different crude oils from different places and their prices? Go Here for the DOE monthly report on all the world crude prices for every type of crude. Little tip here: the lower the sulphur content of the crude the higher the price. That's why Canadian crude is ten dollars higher than the average world price; it's so "light" that you can literally take the oil from the ground and put it in your car with no refining.

SNATCHING DEFEAT FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY

I realize the election is forty some odd days away and a lot can happen between now and then, but I have the clear impression that the Republicans are going to keep control of both houses of Congress, something that I considered impossible a couple of months ago. Gasoline prices, consumer confidence, and perhaps some weak candidates are a part of the Democratic Party problem, but from my emails and my reading I am convinced that the crazies have destroyed the Democratic Party. Most of you believe that if elected they will impeach the president, many think that they will charge our soldiers with war crimes and put them into the Democratic Party kangaroo courts in the "hearings" on Capitol Hill. These two beliefs are wide spread among the non commenters who email me, and I am always surprised at the high level readership.

On September 1st I posted that gasoline had just dropped below $3 per gallon around here. Today, 3 weeks later, gasoline is selling for $2.72, a drop of $.28 in twenty days is a big big drop. In fact it has dropped four cents since yesterday. High price right now is $2.89 at Mobil stations, which is a puzzle since Mobil is a part Exxon/Mobil and Exxon is selling at $2.73. Let's all hope this lasts.

THE APPEASEMENT PRESS

Re: UN speech of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad:
When he delievers a radical address that --in soft tones, yes, but urgent ones-- declares the U.N. to be illegitimate, the war against Israel by Hezbollah to be a creation of the U.S., goes out of his way to alert Christians that Jesus was just a prophet, and then closes with an apocalypse-welcoming appeal to God, that's not just news, it is very crucial news, news that underscores many important facts for the West and the U.S., chief among them that "diplomacy" leading to a "better deal" isn't on this radical's mind. He wants his nukes. He wants the apocalypse.
And the appeasement press does not convey this; doesn't even bother to report the closing appeal to the Almighty. Those of you who are regular visitors to this site know that I'm not much of a Hugh Hewitt fan. I find him cautious to an extreme and never willing to take much of a stand on things that might not be popular among "conservatives." Today is an exception to that rule. He has an outstanding piece up at Townhall that does what most pieces should do, teach us something. He presents terrific examples of what he calls "the appeasement press" and links to great sites. Go there today and be prepared to spend twenty minutes or so, the piece is that good.

Also, visit DuToi
t today, he has an outststanding piece about the TSA employees quitting en masse......

Energy: gasoline futures are now trading at $1.50 per gallon (this is not the delivery price to refineries). If you add $.61 to the futures price you should arrive at the retail price...........WITHOUT TAXES and before all the additives (especially the local requirements). Here in the sunshine state we have a $.36 per gallon tax which means that gasoline may never drop below $2 per gallon, at least in my son's lifetime. Gasoline will have to trade at this level for several weeks before the futures prices are reflected at the pump.

I went to run on the beach and the gas station was selling unleaded for $2.79. Two hours later when I passed the same station it was at $2.77. (unleaded gas chart right) Crude dropped nearly $2 today. To keep everything in perspective, take a look at the weekly crude chart at the bottom of the page. It was just about two years ago that crude was selling at $32.50 per. Today we wax euphoric because crude is selling at two times the price of two years ago.Above is the chart of crude oil futures.

The only reason that Camille Paglia ever got attention was that she claimed to by a dyke libertarian, and sort of a Repuplican by implication and wishful thinking. She has had diarrhea of the word processor for years, writing endless essays about whatever, and now she is "reviewing" the latest feminist bullshit story about Marie Antionette, "a woman subjugated by an awful fucking man." The art community has given us that great but unknown woman, Eva Peron, the wife of one of the worst dictators South America ever saw, who was---say the artistes---a wonderful woman who we are to believe had a great singing voice. They attempted to excuse Leni Riefenstahl, the idolizer of Hitler and all things Nazi, by making a movie called "The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl" which finally could not back off from the fact that she loved good old Adolph---but deserves respect because she is a genius. So now a woman has made "a film" about that wonderful democrat, Marie Antionette. Now this is not a "film" made by a nobody. This one was made by a Super Lib Hollywood insider riding in on her father's considerable coattails, (one FF Copola) and to be shown on---what else??---PBS. Paglia spends at least four paragraphs praising the color, slobbering all over herself about the great music sound track, and starring a sort of "celebrity personality," Kirsten Dunst, (shown at left playing her Oscar nominated role of Al Capone) If Paglia ever had anything to say it was always buried in her impossible to decipher prose and she is at it again. Her essay and complete waste of time are HERE. She gets an "A" for hyping herself. For those of you who want NSF pix of Dunst, here they are.

Senators McCain and Graham read Constitutional Rights to surrendering concentration camp guards in Germany during WWII. The world is protesting the inhuman treatment meted out by U.S. troops and offer as proof this picture of Nazi troops being forced to stand with their hands in the air for as long as ten minutes at a time while their thuggish guards do nothing. Amnesty International has filed charges of "humiliation of prisoners" because one of the guards had to wave a white flag in order to remain among the living. Ike and Patton face War Crimes charges if Democratic Senate committee has its way. The Army guards have been charged and will face courts martial.

The full text of the Pope's remarks are HERE in case y0u haven't read them. Actually, it is relatively arcane and of interest only to Catholic intellectuals, but Muslims want to kill and be killed so they can go to Paradise.....

Reynolds
offers this piece of fiction today:
"Gasoline prices continue to tumble briskly, dropping Monday to a U.S. average of less than $2.50 a gallon for the first time since March. Service stations even are beginning old-fashioned gas wars to avoid losing customers to price-cutting rivals."
Here in LA the low prices charged by some have nothing to do with prices anywhere else, which can differ by thirty cents per gallon in stations across the street from one another. Low today is $2.79 with at least half the stations charging more than $3. So who goes to them? The only thing I can figure is that some businesses have credit cards good only at these stations; there are a lot of people paying $3.05 this AM.

Bill Kristol in the Weekly Standard thinks the Democrats have stumbled into a major trap on the subject of American security. I agree, and McCain is right with them. In fact, McCain is probably toast for an '08 run for the presidency because he's totally against public opinion on illegal immigration too. He's wrong on two gut issues that resonate with both Republicans and Democrats. He has a great resum� but life is more than a resum�.

Attn New Time Warner Cable customers(?) . These phony baloney jerk offs are taking the NFL channel off their lineup and will put it into a special "sports package," and charge us more money to get it. The reason given? It's all for us naturally so we don't have to pay for channels we don't want. I've been trying to stop Redford's Commie channel for at least a year because I object to subsidizing the clear politics of the content and I must. I almost never watch the Black Entertainment Network, yet I'm forced to pay for it. We are charged so we can see five Spanish Language channels, several Asian language channels, and that stupid Women's Channel. I could go on, but after telling us that nothing would change after they took over for Adelphia, they will make changes and make more money.

Corporate Liars? Oh no, not them. Cable monopoly should be eliminated. Why don't I write to complain? It is virtually impossible to contact them without filling out an endless form (so I can be put on some goddam list), but I did it and it took ten minutes to fill out the form.

I posted a while back about the blue collar vs executive wage spread and how if it continues there will be an armed rebellion. The spread between CEO types and his workers exceed 400 times. And remember, the poor all own guns. Ben Stein, Fred Barnes, and a hell of other Right Wing types are noticing now. Below is from the Weekly Standard.
Center-left think tanks and opposition politicians are not the only ones expressing concern about trends in income distribution. Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke recently told a congressional committee, "We want everybody in this society to participate in the American dream. We want everybody to have a chance to get ahead. And to the extent that incomes and wealth are spreading apart, I think that is not a good trend."
The reason candidates won't talk about this issue are complex but at the top of the list is the fear that lower paid people will actually rise up. Another reason is that Democratic doners are among the worst in that regard.

Michael Barone sums up the phony Plame Affair, click the link and read the whole essay:
I think Victoria Toensing has made a powerful case that Fitzgerald should have ended his investigation before it was begun, that Karl Rove was unjustly brought before a grand jury five times, and that Scooter Libby was unjustly indicted.

IT'S THE GASOLINE PRICES, STUPID

Many people think that Bush's sudden rise in the polls is due to his sudden aggressivness defending his policies and flattening all those "reporters." I don't. It's the gasoline prices, stupid. His rise is in lockstep with the soaring consumer confidence numbers, which in turn are up while inflation plunges due to gasoline prices. Here in LA gasoline prices are noticably lower, finally. Nothing under $2.80 yet but one always low price station has it at $2.81, which is more than $.50 per gallon from the high of around $3.32 or so. I filled up AGAIN yesterday because I'm back to driving everywhere and I basically have $7 extra in my pocket after every refill. My daughter who has the ultimate ten cylinder SUV with a forty gallon tank saves about $20 per fill up, as do tons of other people similarly SUV'd.

BTW: we have a new cable TV provider; Time Warner has replaced those horrible crooks at Adelphia. So none of us around here have been able to use internet access for nearly 48 hours because TW doesn't know how to maintain their servers.

NCAA WILL PUNISH THE INNOCENT

REGGIE BUSH A CROOK.....LOS ANGELES -
New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush and his family appear to have accepted gifts, money and other benefits worth more than $100,000 from two marketing agents while the Heisman Trophy winner was still playing at Southern California, according to a report posted Thursday on Yahoo.com. Why should this interest you? Well, you can bet that the NCAA will take action against the kids who are there now while Bush and his family vacation for the rest of their lives. This is worse than unfair but those innocent kids must be taught a lesson. Just in case you think we are talking chump change here, check this out:
�? Suits for Bush's stepfather and brother to wear during the Dec. 10, 2005 Heisman ceremony in New York, a makeover for his mother for the event and limousine transportation �? all paid for by Ornstein.

�? Two hotel stays by Bush, one in Las Vegas and another in San Diego, during March 2005. In both instances, the rooms were paid for by Michaels.

�? $13,000 from Michaels' fledgling firm, New Era Sports & Entertainment, to purchase and modify a car for Bush.

�? $595.20 in round-trip airfare from San Diego to Oakland in November 2005 for Bush's stepfather, LaMar Griffin, his mother, Denise Griffin and younger brother to attend the USC-California game at Berkeley. The charges were put on a credit card belonging to Jamie Fritz, one of Ornstein's employees.
The FBI is involved so that perhaps a crime, as opposed to a rule violation, has been committed.

Change of Topic: in the last two weeks at least two LA area football players have kicked field goals of more than fifty yards, one of them with five yards to spare. This means sixty to sixty five yarders before these kids get out of college, which means that if you get to your opponents 40 yard line you score. And if this stuff is happening here you can bet high school kids all over the country are kicking field goals of the same length. Prediction: there will be a rules change or games will be reduced to field goals.

GOLD is dropping fast once again. As a forecaster for inflation gold will eventually be correct. Keep in mind that within four weeks if gasoline prices stay lower they will act as a tax refund and the economy will really boom. Yesterday I gassed up my car for less than $40 for the first time since God knows when. Getting change for two twenties got my attention.

Malkin covers all bases today, and if you read nothing else, read her long piece about Oriana Fallaci. Captain's Quarters covers what Malkin doesn't. He places McCain where he should be placed, and examines the Bush "renaissance" pretty thoroughly. I think the GOP comeback has as much to do with the absolute bankruptcy of the Democrats as anything else. Has anyone seen so much as a single detailed plan about Iraq or anything else? I think the realization that all they want to do is impeach the president and castrate our military by bringing war crimes charges against many of them is doing them in big time. BTW the very accurate Rasmussen Reports has the GOP retaining the Senate comfortably, although Chaffee doesn't really count.

9/14/2006

Former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger warned that Europe and the United States must unite to head off a "war of civilizations" arising from a nuclear-armed Middle East. All news articles say this appeared yesterday in the WaPo but even the search for the Kissinger name at the Post site yields nothing. Kissinger is just the latest of some really smart people who are aware of this Civilization Clash. If you haven't read Huntington's Clash of Civilizations, (Amazon link) create a couple of hours over two weekends and read it. Unlike most "smart" books which, like diet books, have all that's important on the last ten pages, this book is a must read from cover to cover. Liberals have pooh pooed this book for years but lately many have come around because they fear that he is correct. The net problem as I see it is that the birth rate in Europe is so low that they can no longer stand for anything; our birth rate is only OK because Catholic Hispanics have large numbers of children. As our liberal elites cower before every purr of a kitten, I think the book is correct in that Western Civilization is toast, unless..... Yahoo has a story.

IF YOU AIN'T GOT A MASTER'S DEGREE, GO SCREW

The New Editor offers a link to the WaPo's George Will, who has written an essay about the Liberals and their campaign to destroy Wal-Mart, Coca Cola, and McDonald's. Never mind that these companies have a combined customer base of nearly three billion people per week, forget that they employ millions, and especially forget the management of those companies don't actually love labor unions---more accurately, they nearly hate the near corrupt labor union leaders---whom they view as more interested in electing Democrats than they are of representing their members.

My take on this Left Wing attack is this: Liberals actually despise people who live in cheap apartments, shop at the least expensive stores, and are forced to send their kids to public schools---created by liberals, thank you very much. They wouldn't shop with people who didn't go to college, wouldn't be caught dead eating cheap food at a McDonalds like a bunch of low wage bums, and especially don't want to associate with people who don't have, at the very least, a Masters Degree in something completely useless. They don't want to be in the same yacht basin with people who have jobs that either cause them to sweat from exertion or get varicose veins---enlarged, twisted, painful superficial veins found usually in women---from standing behind a counter or cash register all day.

These attacks on companies that serve the working "poor" and some middle class bargain shoppers must be destroyed for the greater good of their less than affluent customers. In other words: if you don't have a Mercedes just roll over and die.

THE WIRE, A GREAT SHOW--NOT

There is the ultimate artsy fartsy politically correct review of a TV Show on Slate today. The show, HBOs The Wire, has been on for three years now, and while I have watched it, I can't say it's anything near Deadwood, nor is it the Sopranos during years one and two (before it became just another bad soap). This reviewer guy says The Wire is great because there are a ton of black people in leading roles, one of the two lone white guys is a bad guy trying to exploit Blacks, and that the canvas of Black gang bangers, dope dealers, users, and killers are somehow uplifting to Lefties.

This is good? Uh uh, The Wire is just one more instance of telling far too many stories at once, cutting from close up to close up in order to look "real" but end up confusing story time and place, the usual obscenity filled dialogue, a lesbian cop (homo worship is de rigeur for the PC crowd), but most of all the story--stories-- lack continuity. The series started out three years ago with 49 dead girls found in a shipping container, the search to find out what was going on (whore smuggling from East Europe), and then a few something else's, more something elses, until now. Should you give it a shot, you will find it very difficult to understand unless you are a black ghetto resident and almost impossible to follow. This is Lefty "art," and you must like it or you are kicked out of the club.

Want to read about a real miracle? Click on this (link via The New Editor) and be amazed. The condition known as Persistant Vegetative State (think Shavio) has suddenly become treatable. And the treatment is a sleeping pill. Just go there. BTW this link is also at The Corner.

While we are sleeping:
....the critical problems of survival facing modern Russia. We�ve documented epidemic racism, widespread economic crisis and a brutal authoritarian crackdown (including the recent annexation of the nation�s most important newspaper). We�ve documented rampant militarism: Russia has been provided weapons to Venezuela, nuclear technology to Iran, financial support to Hamas and Hezbollah and U.S. military secrets to the regime of Sadaam Hussein. There�s even been talk of an attempted coup by Russia in Georgia, together with various energy blackmail attacks on Ukraine. That�s to say nothing of Russia�s critical population loss, the depopulation of Siberia and its potential annexation by China.
Sound like Pat Buchannan ranting over foreigners crossing borders? Well it ain't. Putin is not only absolute dictator of Russia, he is paying off the world press with lavish parties and dinners. Remember the name Walter Duranty, the NYT reporter who covered up all the slaughters of Stalin? Well we've got a hundred Durantys lying to us and you better get hip. Go HERE for the report and bookmark the site. And be sure you follow the links, an excerpt from one of them follows.
The unfolding of Soviet activity in today�s Russia has been swift and unrelenting. If we look back over the past few months, we see a breathtakingly brazen litany of arrests and prosecutions by the Kremlin of its political foes, in a manner eerily reminiscent of the Soviet days, which have gone unchallenged and indeed virtually unnoticed in the West.

Vladimir Rakhmanov, writer, arrested for writing a satirical article referring to Putin as �the nation�s Phallic symbol.�

Valentin Danilov, scientist, arrested for daring to have contact with the West.

Alexei Barinov, Governor of Nenets region, arrested for being the last publicly elected governor in Russia. Putin now appoints them all Russia�s governors (and hence all the members of the Russian version of the Senate, the Federation Council, which is comprised of governors), but that doesn�t make those people safe either, not if they fail to toe the proper pro-Kremlin line. Just ask Senators Alexander Sabadash, Boris Gutin, Igor Ivanov and Levon Chakhmakhchyan, who have all recently been arrested for displeasing the Kremlin.

Yevgeny Ishchenko, mayor of Volgograd, arrested for failing to give the Kremlin sufficient guarantees of loyalty. Not satisfied with controlling all statewide offices, Putin is now going after the localities.

Having sent the message that any executive or legislative official is subject to arrest, the Kremlin is now moving on the judicial branch. Vladimir Bukreyev, the Rostov judge who convicted a Russian colonel of murder in Chechya, was recently arrested in retaliation for the ruling.

And Hitchens strikes again.....slamming Frank Rich of the NYT and a lie the guy has been telling for almost a year....

CRUDE: as it closes NY at $63.78 and no real support in sight (perhaps at 61) it becomes increasingly clear that we have been had by speculators in the futures market. Why let this shit continue? I'd like to see the government step in and short futures against these guys as the Chinese finally stepped in and bought their own currency futures and busted Soros out when he went on his last currency rampage. It comes to the point that we are bending over so we can be sodomized by a bunch of financial rapists and we must stop. What's that you say? Let the free markets work? Tell that shit to George Soros and the rest of the rapacious pricks, they are rigging markets and there is nothing free about them.

A SURPRISING CASE FOR HIGHER TAXES

Or FUCK THE WAR, THERE'S A GAME ON....I maligned the TV movie, "Paths to 9/11" because a mob of us watched it at my house on TV, probably weakening its impact upon us. However, it did cause reflection among many of us and as proof I offer this part of a conversation I had with three of the guys who saw the show at my house. We agreed that the country doesn't believe that Terrorism and the War on Terror actually exists. The reasons given were many, but most feel that Bush has done a miserable job of communicating the danger. Roosevelt's reaction to Pearl Harbor was mentioned as how to rally the electorate. A draft, rationing of gasoline, and higher taxes to pay for the war gets everyone's attention. We cannot have a war AND all the creature comforts, including lower taxes, and be impacted. During the WWII the government ran some awful pictures of dead GIs on the beaches of Tarawa (above) in order to "wake people up that there really was a war on." This is a private war and we are not involved. I'm afraid we will only know about the "War on Terror" after an A-Bomb goes off in the middle of the Super Bowl.

Whoops, I gotta get back to the game, can't miss that.

REYNOLDS is very good today, take a peek.

Energy Alert: Crude is now below $65. It can go as low as $64 and chump change before a so-called bottom is hit, and we are virtually there right now. Lower gasoline prices? Not around here.

BTW: We pay $.36 per gallon in tax here so I guess our price w/o tax is around $2.50 per. Thanx for comment.

Oh, oh, oooooooo. The new Alpha Romeo is here, but no specs are available. Hope it's not like some of the other Italian stallions that spend as much time with a mechanic as on the road.

We are still getting royally fucked on gas prices here in LA. Some stations have reduced prices substantially but most are still charging as high as $3.15. In one case a station charging $3.10 was directly across the street from an ARCO selling it at $2.88, and the reality around here is that only some of the ARCO stations are selling gasoline under $2.95 per. And naturally the lines to get into the cheap stations are quite long.

"OUTSOURCING" JOBS OF ELITES

It's hapening as the jobs of corporate lawyers go overseas to cheaper firms. Right now it's only DuPont but many large corporations are ready to take the leap. The article is in today's Business Week online:
Let's Offshore The Lawyers

DuPont is farming out legal services to Asia�and saving a bundle. Mention offshore outsourcing, and Americans fume. But who would cry if we outsourced the work of lawyers, with their fat fees and endless strategies for adding years to litigation?
Now you'll hear the screaming. It was OK when blue collar guys lost their jobs, but now it's the elites. Ho ho ho. Stay tuned

9/11/2006

OK, I'm an insensitive prick, but I am up to here with the wallowing in the 9/11 TV dirge. Everybody feeling sorry for themselves, slobbering and drooling in sadness and expecting the entire country to lay right down and surrender. So hate me, I don't give a fuck.

Hollywood Tuna links to this, called "The Worst Cheerleader Ever." He's right and it's a classic....

And Bad Jocks:
Catholic Womens LaCrosse team caught partying with a male stripper; a guy goes into a soccer game substituting for another player. Not so fast. The player being removed from the game stabbed the sub. Funny stuff over there.


Because I haven't traded in six months I neglected to look at gold when I posted my inflation piece earlier today. Gold is only a leading indicator 60% of the time, the rest of the time it is a laggard. Gold has literally crashed over the past few days (see above chart) following oil. This is also good news for all of us.

This is called "Robot Dance," it starts out like nothing but stick to it because the third guy is hysterical.....

There are 900 CD sets out there of the un-edited Path to 9/11, so says Rush Limbaugh on the radio earlier today. That is the number that Disney/ABC sent out for review. No chance, like zero chance, that this won't end up on the internet.

Today is 9/11, a day to remember....

I'm sure you're sick of hearing about Paths to 9/11 (I've slobbered all over this blog, below) but I saw it Saturday AM because a friend of mine who works at low level at Disney either stole or borrowed a CD (actually three disc set) and brought it over to my place (I have a HiDef system) where ten or so of us watched it starting at around 7AM PDT. All of this with the understanding that I was switching to the Notre Dame game at 11:30, no matter what. So, what did we think? Did we want to bomb the nearest DNC meeting? No. It was boring. It was confusing. There was enough bad acting to fill an Actors Studio Twelve Step meeting. We all stopped watching the fucking thing at around 10AM and started watching some of the earlier football games. This thing would have died a silent death if the "Looney Bin Left" had stayed the fuck out of it. Reminds me of the days when the "Legion of Decency" could virtually guarantee a hit by condemning a movie as obscene and telling all Catholics they'd end up in hell if they saw it (Naturally, most all Catholics suddenly just had to see a movie that was "bad" for them). Bottom line on 9/11: our entire bureaucracy fucked up and to cover their asses kept fucking up.

TECHNICALLY, CRUDE HEADED TO $64

Technically means chart reading. Keep in mind that if charts worked there would be no markets

INFLATION COMING DOWN
hard as crude and copper prices take big tumbles. Commodity Price Index (chart on left) is a very reliable inflation indicator because it includes food and energy, the stuff we actually use. Keep in mind that the Index is still very high, I traded it a few times when it was below 210, a figure we may never see again because gold and silver prices are so high. And if copper prices stay high ????, (lower chart). Copper could collapse only if world wide building boom ends, this is because copper's only real heavy use is in building construction. Copper has always been under $100 (chart).

Whoopsie, late add: Crude is about to crack through $65.

9/10/2006

Well, as I have been saying, the video of the Path to 9/11 is on the internet, or at least some of the scenes that give the Democrats a wedgie. For the life of me I cannot see what the stink is about, but judge for yourselves. What I get out of it is the total confusion, the gang of self interested egos, and the usual posturing pols---when you put this together we have a bureaucracy adrift with no direction at all. But what else is new? Clinton was never a leader of men but a politician who was brilliant at manipulating the electorate. These links are from Charles Johnson at LFG, but I understand others are linking and passing the links along. Download it fast because the law suits are sure to be coming and the site will be shut down. There is a written synopsis of the scenes HERE.

Ace has a lot more
gleaned from the usual suspects, as he says, so many people are logging on that it is difficult to actually get the stuff. Included at Ace's place is heretofore unavailable Clinton lawyer letters. Then there is this one from Althouse (Link via Reynolds) which replays NBC news and it's devastating.

Then there is this, the planned counter attack on Disney/ABC scheduled for next week, courtesy AMERICAblog.
I've talked with some of the other organizers of the anti-Disney/ABC campaign, and we've decided, quite rightly, that if Disney/ABC runs this defamatory show tomorrow night, we are launching an all-out war against both companies. I'd like to start the discussion going, with your input, as to what the next steps should be, possible actions, etc.
Be sure to read it all, it is a blueprint for international law suits, boycotts, and hit pieces on Disney/ABC and they will be vicious. They will also attack Steve Jobs and Apple.

We may indeed witness eventually the end of the primacy of the Western way of war. Yet that demotion will not be due to the Islamic way of war, but rather to the specter of a thermonuclear exchange with paradise-loving enemies, immune to notions of deterrence � an awful situation in which conventional Western military advantage is reduced to nothing.
Hanson, as usual, lays it out there. Our main danger is the Fifth Column Left within our country, who don't want their entitlement culture disturbed.

Path to 9/11 will be shown with "minor" cuts.....Chicago Trib

9/9/2006

WILL THE PROPAGANDA MINISTER, ÜBER FUHRER CLINTON, WIN? STAY TUNED

Leftist Brown Shirts have been loosed on ABC by the Democrats and other Leftists. I'll leave out the obvious hypocrisy of this drooling red eyed rabble who are taking time off from lynching Scooter Libby to voice their "outrage" about a show none of them have seen. Instead I'd like to address the statement emanating from this slavering gang, to wit: you cannot re-write history. Holy Jesus, what a croc of liberaleze. It's an even bigger croc when you consider that it is fulminating from many whose job description is to rewrite history. And news, and stories and police reports and everything else. Hollywood has been fictionalizing history since Edison cranked out his first images way back when. The best (worst) example I can think of is from a great movie called Five Graves to Cairo, (a must rent) that features, among other historical figures, one Erwin Rommel, the "not a Nazi" German general known as the Desert Fox. The part is played to perfection by Erich von Stroheim (that's von etc. at left as that wonderful guy, Rommel) whose acting was never less than super. The role as written by Billy Wilder (a Jew who escaped Nazi Germany) is that of a cultured arrogant polite nice great general. All the shit you young people hear about Rommel is derived from this movie and the Erich von Stroheim performance. In truth, this guy was a buddy of Hitler since 1922. Hitler liked him. He at least pretended to like Hitler. If it were not for this relationship Hitler would never have made him the commander of so many campaigns (all of which this "great" general lost except when he was leading minor forces). He never said a word nor lifted a finger to interfere with the Nazi monster until the war was basically lost. If he wasn't a fucking Nazi, he was their Maitre'De, guiding them to the best places to invade and pillage. Even the super movie "Patton" built his image, particularly the line where Scott yells, "I read your book," implying that it was Rommel who wrote the book on Panzer tactics. Actually the TWO books on combined infantry-tank warfare were written by two guys, Charles de Gaulle and German general Heinz Guderian, the guy who shocked the world in Poland. (The really great Panzer fight song is here from the movie, Battle of the Bulge, THE PRIMO DISTORTION OF HISTORY EVER; link to it and I guarantee you'll get off your ass and invade France). I could go on with Hollywood fictions to include George Washington (like a million fictions), Robert E Lee (another Hollywood "great" general who led his troops to slaughter after slaughter), Lincoln, the James Gang and so on and so forth. Hollywood exists on fictionalized history, it is who they are. Whatever, either ABC will pull it, an event that may lose the Democrats the election, or they will sanitize it so that nobody in the Clinton sewer gets their feelings hurt. Either way I think the political damage to the Democrats will be significant, not because of the TV show, but because of their hysterical efforts to supress it.

Sexion has suggested that ABC run this insert each time a scene is that Democrats don't like has been deleted. (Hat tip Ham at Town Hall who also has a list of GOP people in races where they may upset Democrats who need the doh ray me)

9/8/2006

ZEIG HEIL, THE PATH TO FASCISM


Our Freedom of Speech is dead, killed by the Democrats while the Republicans stood around and did nothing---in fact they joined the mob. Path to 9/11 has become the Path to Fascism, as government goons threatened ABC/Disney with destruction if they didn't do what they were told. We are there, boys and girls, we have allowed it to happen. From now on, only government approved speech will actually be tolerated. There will be no grand funeral procession like the one for Lincoln (above), everyone will try to pretend that the death of the Bill of Rights didn't happen at all, that the threats against Disney/ABC weren't really threats but just a "correction" of actual facts.

It is the American putsch, the Democratic party has become the instrument of the destruction of our most important Right in the Original Bill of Rights, and like the Senators in Rome who allowed the Republic to be taken over, the Republicans stood by and have allowed it to happen---and actually participated in the censorship. Make no mistake, this is the worst thing our government has done since Roosevelt tried to "pack" the Supreme Court with his party hacks because he didn't like some decisions the court had made, but then his own party rose up and stopped him. This time nobody has risen up. The Republicans just kept riding their decaying raft down the River Styx singing stupid country songs as they blindly drifted to and into the abyss.

So because powerful government figures who are only theoretically out of power did not like the content of a movie, they made it clear that they would put Disney/ABC out of business by canceling their broadcast licenses. And because plenty of Republicans looked bad and the 9/11 commission looked bad our people "in power" castrated the Republic. Never did any of us think we'd see the day this could happen, but the fact is now clear that the minority party is so powerful they can cause license revocation if anyone dares to present something they don't like. Not one time in the history of the Republic have we seen the government take over a media company til now. The Democrats, the minority party, have informed Disney and ABC that they will put them out of business if Paths to 9/11 is shown unless it is sanitized to their satisfaction. The same people who railed at the old Hayes Code, the Legion of Decency, and all attempts to set up a government media company, those wonderful patriots have taken over ALL MEDIA while we slept.

From now on every book publisher is on notice that they can be put out of business by powerful people in government. Everything we see and hear from now on must be approved by the government, or else. And we won't even peep. We are cowed dogs tranquilized by all the comforts (drugs, music, movies, celebrity gossip) of a decaying culture.

Meanwhile back in the culture desert, not so much as a twitch of protest from FOX, CNN, or MSNBC. Fellow travelers, Useful Idiots, Friends of Bill, or just plain fearful money grubbing cowards, choose your term. Whatever, we all know now that they are the ones running the country and they will always act to protect themselves. They will even destroy our Bill of Rights to the standing ovation from the Left.
DU and KOS will even send a "designated mourner" to feign grief so maybe the rest of us won't know what they have really wrought. It's OK, we dopes will watch the football games and lay around guzzling beer while we are told that our freedoms are safe.

BTW: I've been saying many times on this site that nothing could cause me to vote Republican in this election cycle. Wrong. This has convinced me that no matter how bad they are they are not as bad as the Democrats. The Democrats are a bigger threat to our democracy than the Terrorists.

If you've got the spare bucks, Hewitt has a list of GOP candidates who could use some financial help. Take a look at his site, it makes a lot of sense in this climate.....

CONSUMER ALERT
1. Short or sell HP stock
2. A couple of years ago I purchased an HP computer. At that time their customer service was amazing, the best I'd ever experienced.

That was then, this is now. They have deteriorated just like Dell did a few years ago. They don't handle their own service any more, you cannot get any information out of them, not even a price for a specific part. Their current reputation is very good based on old performance. Be forewarned.

A TEMPORARY HALT TO CRUDE OIL COLLAPSE

The shorts in crude have made a quick killing. Markets almost always collapse faster than they explode to the upside and I am assuming that all the guys on the rigs called their wives, told them to take $20K over to their friend Bernie and tell him to short. Margin (money you have to put up to trade) is $4,000 per contract. The market came down a nickel (+5K per contract) they bailed when it formed a channel, and when the market rose they put in sell stops just below the low of the first move. Five contracts would have netted them---netted---60K per five contract lot and they are still short. I'm always glad when the grunts make a score. Will the specs come back in and drive prices back up? I don't think they can pull it off this time because the oil producers who hedge these things will bury them. What about the execs? They wouldn't dare. The price of being caught is jail. I look for a "short covering" rally late today with prices closing higher (I was completely wrong, closed down $1.05 at $66.25).. As this is written, prices have dropped below $67 ($66.25) basis October BUT remember, OPEC meets next week so look for this supply glut driven decline to end. How about heating oil? Well those of you users in the east are fucked, because all supply on hand is a result of $73 plus crude prices (However, all dealers and suppliers hedge and if they shorted, the home heating oil prices for consumers could plunge). The big surprise is natural gas as prices decline because of supplies. All U.S. crude production will be on line very soon and some production will exceed prior figures. Gasoline prices in LA have suddenly come down seven to nine cents per gallon, but only in some places. They all get their gasoline from the same places, so ?????.

MAJOR CUTS IN PATHS

Time is 1:45 PDT and MSNBC just announced that ABC under attack from the Clintons and former Clinton Administration hacks have made MAJOR cuts in Path to 9/11.......may not be true, MSNBC is not exactly the place one goes to get up to the minute facts.

LA Times
now reports same. Apparently a ton of "liberal groups" climbed all over ABC and they caved.
The Center for American Progress Action Fund, a liberal advocacy group, said on Wednesday it had collected 25,000 letters asking ABC to either correct or cancel the miniseries. "The miniseries presents an agenda that blames the Clinton administration for the 9/11 attacks while ignoring numerous errors and failures of the Bush administration," the center said in a news release.
The threat of license loss should the Democrats win the House in November probably swung it. Liberals have no guts anyway. Clinton wins again. To me the total difference between him and Bush couldn't be more apparent: Clinton will never take anything, Bush just lies down. Entire original movie will probably be on U Tube by tonight, tomorrow for sure.

Crude below $67....gasoline prices are not falling very much around here. Something is very wrong in our Capitalist paradise.

Today's close: 67.30

Just in case you haven't read this piece in Iraq the Model which tells a cautionary tale of a Baghdad suburb under seige by terrorists, please take a moment and read it. I think we must be unconscious to allow this to continue....
It all started several months ago when a bunch of young men from the local tribes began showing strange extreme religious behavior we're not familiar with in this area.
They did not have influence here in the beginning and their apparent action was limited to hate talk against Shia who they refer to as the "enemies" while we coexisted here and lived peacefully with Shia tribes for centuries.
It didn't take long before they translated their rhetoric into violent action, they started to carry out ocassional kidnapping and assassinations against Shia men from neighboring tribes and even attacked Shia neighborhoods deep inside Baghdad after they acquired heavy mortars and katyusha rockets.
At this point we began to realize the true identity of those young men and we began to believe that they became part of al-Qaeda�
As true in many of our major cities, boys and children take over and nobody takes any action.

Bob Novak commenting on Republican refusal to deal with immigration:
In my half century of political reporting, I never have seen a candidate or party succeed in playing the economic nationalist card. Even worse, a divided party promises to go into the hazardous 2006 election after doing nothing about an issue its constituents think is most important.
He's right, of course but the Republcans are on an old and decaying raft that is drifting aimlessly downriver toward the rapids while those aboard drink beer and sing patriotic songs. No leadership from anywhere within the foggy brained crowd of elected hyperventilating do-nothings.



Why I don't rant against pork: A response to many e-mails commenting on my lack of support for Pork Busters. I live in a district that is so far Left that Karl Marx lost out in the Democratic primary. Waxman, he of the "tax anything that moves and seize anything that don't" Democratic Party is my congressman and Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein my senators. They ain't none of them about to stop anything..... But I do support it, just I can't do jack shit around here. BTW there is a remark on the PB site regarding the number of bike paths that our leaders keep sending money to build; I point out that bike riding is a Lefty feel good activity and, like art galleries, tax subsidized symphony orchestras and so on, are liberal entitlements.

PATH TO 9/11 STREWN WITH HYPE

Pardon me, but as an old Hollywood hand I think this "controversy" regarding Sandy Berger wanting to sanitize Path to 9/11 is one of those really good Hollywood Publicity stunts. How come only the hard core Clinton apparatchiks have seen it. How come they all leap to censor it? No, no, no---

Hollywood thy name is synonymous with sleaze. Keep in mind there is bad sleaze, good sleaze, and great sleaze; want to bet that this is great sleaze? BTW two friends of mine saw it in a lab and say it is boring.

Biz Week has a terrific layout on most new cars. Biggest surprise? GM, which is getting very high marks in every category with a few rating top. Take a look, very interesting. GM offering a 100,000 mile warranty.....

Crude CLOSED at 67.60 basis October......

Writing vs Talking I just spent about ten minutes (all I could tolerate) at Blogging Heads TV, which is a bunch of bloggers talking. And talking. And talking. For diarrhea of the mouth types this should be your thing, for the rest of us it's a total waste of time. The advantage to expressing thoughts in writing is that you have to be clear and concise, you can't bore people to death. None of that holds for big mouths on TV grabbing their face time telling us nothing any of us can figure out, if we wanted to figure it out in the first place. I find pod casts more of what I surf the blogs to get away from; egos with big mouths saying nothing.

Movie Tip: Movies work best when they take us to places we never knew existed. From the beginning, the most popular movies were documentaries and stories filmed in jungles and wilderness. Germany made what were known as "Mountain Films," movies made in the Alps with spectacular results---the young and beautiful Leni Riefenstahl starred in many before becoming the official Nazi biographer; and our Western movies took us to the most spectacular portions of our country. Want to go to a place you never knew existed? There is a movie being shown on IFC called City of God, a trip into hell that shockingly shows us a place where children's gangs run everything, a "city God has forgotten." There are no cops, no judges, nor any semblance of morality. All that is visible are homicidal young men and little boys who are bent on making money right now through murder, drug dealing, and just plain terror. This chamber of depravity is an entire part of a city. Want a piece of ass? Find a girl and rape her....and let your friends rape her too. Violent? Yes, but it is a truthful story of a guy who became a famous photographer by taking pictures of these little monsters and publishing them in newspapers. The usual Left Wing critical sycophants who scream bloody murder whenever an American does a blood soaked movie, rave over this one (link to Rotten Tomatoes) cause it's foreign, but in this case they are right. Tape it if you can't watch it.

Christopher Hitchens blows another hole in the great Plame-Wilson thing. Read it. The entire escapade has now been exposed as a fraud. Iraq was seeking uranium in Niger.

BTW, shouldn't we be demanding a review of CIA hiring criteria? Ms. Plame has shown a shocking lack of judgment in her choice of men, grounds one might think that would bar her from employment at any level above janitorial work.

A typical ass kissing review appears today in Variety, the show biz daily. Typical, in that it is Hollywood Left PC and kisses the asses of the stars and all production people to an almost unimaginable degree . (Drudge tip)

Crude prices are below $68 as I post this.

This must be Stupid Women's Day over at Town Hall. The football one isn't worth the band width, and the Harris critique is hot air runny mascara. I stopped reading it.....

HAPPY DAZE ARE HERE AGAIN


Make that downstroke on the Hummer; get out the 12 cylinder car and gas it up. Oil prices are tumbling. And for a dam good reason. As oil prices fall again---today's low so far is 67.95---everybody is saying Iran relationships are getting better as the reason. Bullshit. Whenever something happens in any market the usual suspects have a reason. Today there was an announcement of the discovery of the largest oil deposit in a generation in the Gulf of Mexico. Keep in mind that the real insiders have known about this for weeks at the very least. Real insiders include every worker on every Chevron site as well as the company executives Devon and Chevron.
California-based Chevron said the well set a variety of records, including the deepest well successfully tested in the Gulf of Mexico. Chevron said it was drilled to a total depth of 8,587 meters (28,175 feet) in waters that are 2,133 (7,000 feet) deep. Chevron has a 50 percent stake in the field, while Statoil and Devon own 25 percent each. During the test, at record depths and pressure, the Jack No. 2 well flowed at a rate of more than 6,000 barrels of crude per day, Chevron said. That puts it on a par with discoveries in exploration hot spots such as the waters off Angola.

OSLO, Norway Tests of a deep and challenging offshore well in the Gulf of Mexico indicate a significant oil discovery, the partners in the field announced Tuesday.

The Jack 2 well was drilled by U.S. oil giant Chevron Corp., with partners Statoil ASA of Norway and Devon Energy Corp. of Oklahoma.

"Test results are very encouraging and may indicate a significant discovery. The full magnitude of the field's potential is still being defined," Statoil said in a statement.

During the test the Jack 2 well sustained a flow rate of more than 6,000 barrels of oil per day, Statoil said.

The well was drilled in the Walker Ridge area of the Gulf, about 435 kilometers (270 miles) southwest of New Orleans, Louisiana, and 280 kilometers (175 miles) off the coast, the company said. It followed up a discovery made by Chevron in 2004.

"This area is one of the new and promising deep water areas in the Gulf of Mexico," said Oivind Reinertsen, senior vice president of Statoil's Gulf of Mexico assets in Houston.

"The Jack 2 well test data are encouraging and may form the basis of future development projects in Walker Ridge," he said.

In a separate statement, San Ramon, California-based Chevron said the well set a variety of records, including the deepest well successfully tested in the Gulf of Mexico. Chevron said it was drilled to a total depth of 8,587 meters (28,175 feet) in waters that are 2,133 (7,000 feet) deep.
Fly in the ointment is that Devon Statoil, a partner of Chevron, is a Norwegian company and has a huge interest in not drilling at all so that their North Sea fields become dominant. Just look at charts and know that the real insiders have been shorting for weeks. From looking at the chart, I'd say the insiders started shorting August 10th. Corrected per comment


THE WANDERING TRIBE STRIKES AGAIN

G.O.P. Sets Aside Work on Immigration: NY Times. Can't reconcile with Senate bill. Let's see, the Senate Republicans are a different party than the House Republicans. OK, I get it. Oh, I'll vote Republican for sure now. If any of us ever needed proof that the Republicans have sold us out from top to bottom, here's the proof. BTW, the headline: "G.O.P. Sets Aside Work on Immigration" just highlights how stupid the entire party is. Headline should read GOP sets aside work on illegal immigration. Jesus, wandering tribes of Republicans.

The Sniper hasn't posted since July. He has a new one up, and as usual it ain't "war is fun" stuff.....

TEEN GIRLS JUST LOVE TO GIVE BJ's

I mean this is hot. So hot I can't stand it. Survey after survey shows that teen girls are doing it, sometimes more than once per day. 12- and 13-year-old girls are performing oral sex on as many boys as they can. Shit. When I was a teenager the stupid girls thought they needed a straw to give a blow job (Above circa 1950s). Later on they needed a blow dryer. Now they know that their mouths ain't for whistling, talking, or even breathing. Why? Well there's the Clinton-Lewinsky effect, but that was a decade ago. Why now? Well it may be economics. The price for having real sex is just too high--unwanted pregancies---too expensive pills, that pesky AIDS risk, and other things economic like parents. Nobody is saying that they do it because it makes the boys virtual slaves to them, which we all know it does. Anyway, just go to Slate and read about it.

Does anybody really give a fuck about a sport played by robotic "men" hitting from the baseline, like forever? Agassi was OK when he was the bandito but he agreed to conform. Sport and players are boring.

Fuck The Miller Brewing Company, the corporation that gave 30K to a pro-illegal alien activist group. Malkin has all the gruesome details

If your old lady had an ass like hers she'd smile all the time too......



Full layout is here


Believe it or not, this total babe is 41 years old. She has a dynamite layout over at Egotastic. based on her appearance at the Venice Film fest where she is promoting her new movie, Hollywoodland. Take a look, fully dressed she's still one sexy sexy babe.....BTW her name is Diane Lane and she's done 49 movies

Do these girls worry about global warming?


Maxim has allegedly caught NFL cheerleaders dressing and stuff. Eye candy at Horny Oyster via Hollywood Tuna who is the man when it comes to this stuff. And can you believe that some assholes are concerned with global warming?????

Big Media declares what is news: obesity, global warming, and the GOP losing the House. Iraq is nothing, the Armitage fiasco is nothing, the 4.7% unemployment doesn't exist. In sports it's only Notre Dame (they are mediocre), Tennessee (CAL, as has been their style for fifty years, sucks), and Agassi (a very old man just hanging on). War on Terror? What war on terror?

Did you see that video of the two Fox journalists announcing they'd converted to Islam? The larger problem, it seems to me, is that much of the rest of the Western media have also converted to Islam, and there seems to be no way to get them to convert back to journalism.
So starts Mark Steyn in his essay titled "Giving it Away" this morning. As always a very good read. Read it all, because he goes into media covering up the Muslims involved in rape crimes in Australia and the failure of media to identify the criminals. Yet the same stuff happens here. I was driving in Hollywood the other day and the radio issued a report of a stabbing with the stabber still at large. What followed was a description of the culprit, but no race. I assumed the assailant was Black and I was right, but it could just as easily been Hispanic because both are now PC icons. The point here is that without the key item of description none of would have known who to avoid and that MSM sees nothing wrong with this.

HELP POOR JOE AND VALERIE


Go HERE to donate funds for Joe and Valerie Wilson's defense. They are being persecuted for being truthful, honest, and traitorous. (That's super secret agent Plame on the left.) Quoting from their exciting web page:
To help Ambassador Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame Wilson pay for the substantial legal costs associated with the illegal leaking of Mrs. Wilson's classified CIA status. This includes:
* Counseling them for their potential witness testimony during the upcoming trial of Scooter Libby; and
* Helping them to prepare for a civil suit that would uncover the truth surrounding the leak, ensure all relevant public officials are held accountable for actions depriving the Wilsons of their privacy and constitutional rights, and serve as a deterrent to similar crimes being committed in the future. Should the civil action result in a payment to Joe and/or Valerie Wilson that is in excess of all costs associated with their legal activities, the equivalent of all monies contributed to the Trust will be returned to the Trust. All Trust money will then be distributed by the trustees to a charitable organization(s) that works to protect government whistleblowers? First Amendment rights and helps to defend them from retaliatory action.
Then go here to (NRO) for another lying scummy right wing fascist POV that attempts to link those two patriots, Joe and Valarie to "the leak". Then visit Patterico who has lots of links, some that are so whacko as to defy belief, but you owe it to yourselves to read so you can be aware of the depths to which the true Left will sink. Lower than whale shit? Quite possibly. THEN FOR THE ABSOLUTELY BEST PIECE ON THIS DISGUSTING AFFAIR, HITCHENS (who else?) LAYS IT ALL OUT THERE, A MUST MUST READ. Keep in mind that the significance of yellowcake is that it can be made into fissionable material through a sophisticated processing, and if Saddam tried to buy yellowcake it would mean he possessed a high level of nuclear technology and was very close to making the bomb.

But if you think this issue is dead, all wrapped up, finis, then you better read this, the latest left wing rant from David Corn. See, what really is important is that AFTER Armitage leaked the info, Rove leaked it too. Then after Rove, that prick Libby also leaked the info which proves absolutely that the Bush administration was engaged in a conspiracy to......

Fuck it, the games are starting and I have some great shit from a secret farm in Vermont.

The MTV Awards show draws smallest audiences ever. The usual suspects blame the "tameness" of the show---no lesbian kissing--for the low ratings. In order to regain audience, next year MTV will feature a homosexual rape of an eight year old boy by two priests followed by a computerized Bush fellating Rove scene.

MEXICO: 1917 BOLSHEVICS MARCH AGAIN

The hard Left never wins elections, they get just strong enough to seize power. Watch out in Mexico because it's deja vu all over again. The past 100 years have seen governments seized by fascists and communists after they failed to win an election, and once in power they take everything out of private hands that they possibly can. In Mexico the government already controls the oil industry, the only real resource aside from Aztec bric a brac in the country, but they can sure pull a Hugo Chavez and cut us off from their oil big time. This is actually THE major story right now, not those fucking storms, global warming, or whatever else our leftist media wants us to think is the main story. BTW this could also end NAFTA. The reason? The lefties down there blame "mercantilism" for all their woes. Mercantilism is defined down there as the exploitation of Mexican citizens by foreign companies that will not allow the peasants to rise to top positions in management, which means exploitation. A lot of gringos will actually like this.

EEK, IT'S A PICK AND ROLL

It was back in 550 BC that Aristotle developed the pick and roll in a sport the Greeks called "Kill the Prick." So the Greeks have a two thousand year head start on this diabolically clever and largely unknown style of basketball offence that is virtually unknown outside of Greece and Argentina. To those few Americans who know it, the pick and roll is largely regarded as unmanly by macho Blacks who dominate basketball in our country where dribble drives and slam dunks are cleverly combined with intimidation (trash talk, insults, and threats) to make our players look great.

Example: black super macho A with ball, dribbling in front of other black super macho B. Super macho A says so everyone can hear: "Your mother sucked my dick last night and swallowed," and as macho B takes a swing macho man A dribbles past B, slam dunks, and then gives opponent the finger while crowd roars.

The gutless pick and roll (without trash talk or threats of great bodily harm) seems deceptively simple. A guy runs up to another guy and blocks him from moving (the pick) and then he quickly rolls off the guy, creating a half a second of separation. If you can throw the ball to the separated guy he will score----unless somebody switches from somebody else---but then the guy who is separated just kicks it out to the open man who can just shoot. It gets much more complicated; the high pick and roll has a line of four guys spread across the floor and the guard with the ball decides who to throw the ball to and so on.

But there is one more reason I think we lost and that reason is racism, racism by the black players. I have at least twenty five years experience with youth athletics, principally in football and some Little League baseball, and this experience has taught me one fact: when a white team plays a black team and the white team wins there will be a riot. Blacks honestly think themselves totally superior to whites on the athletic fields and the only reason they ever lose is that whites cheated. I'll bet our players thought those white Europeans just couldn't possibly win.

So we lost, but the continuing comments that our athletes were better were belied by the facts that the Greeks scored on breakaways, inside shots from their centers and forwards, and jump shots from the perimeter. Inferior athletes doing all that?

Quit smoking that Thai weed and come down to earth.

The attempt (actually it will be a fait accompli) by the entire establishment Left to coerce Disney to rewrite, re-edit, or flat change the ABC two parter called "The Path to 9/11" will succeed, an event that ABC solicited when they showed the original film to all the usual suspects in New York. Now they can say that they tried but.......

What will happen now is that somebody will somehow get a print of the original and it will be all over the internet in a flash as will the awareness of the general public to the fascists in the Democratic Party. Patterico seems to be on top of this as well as Libertas so check with them from time to time. It is becoming a crusade on Limaugh as well. As usual, our literati will make it their cause celeb in their attemtp to quash the show as filmed.


Unleaded gasoline is below $3 in LA, and keep in mind we pay thirty six cents per gallon in taxes too...... Unleaded is trading at $1.75 on the NYMEX this AM; this translates into $2.31 delivered at the refineries before transportation charges etc. Gasoline will come down a lot more unless...... The futures price has come down $.42 in thirty days. Crude was below $69 for a few minutes this AM (see above).

HOLLYWOOD LIBERALS PULL OUT THE LONG KNIVES

The heavyweights of our fascist Left are doing everything they can to cause Disney to "re-edit" their two part show called "Path to 9/11." My bet is that they will succeed because of their ability to deny employment to anyone they decide to hate. Patterico has the beginnings of the story.....

Another side to the story is written by William Pitt who brings up the Republican inaction and their refusal to acknowledge that terrorism was a threat. You might get pissed, but read it anyway.

Malkin's retraction; er um correction; oh wait a minute re-examination; no, no I mean clarification; of her outrageous statements and accusations regarding the guy, Popel, who deliberately drove into a bunch of people killing some and injuring scores more, is an example of Main Stream Media obfuscation (bullshit) at its absolute worst. She, like too many bloggers these days, just can't come out and say "I was wrong." No no, not her. She was full of shit on her charges and is full of shit on her sort of "retraction."
