Alcohol Encourages Brain Cell Regeneration

Not all is gloom and doom with alcohol, one thinks. It all depends if you awoke with a thumping hang over this weekend.As the down side of all this cell regenration is:

"The continuing new formation of cells counteracts the neuronal degeneration, but is also directly connected with the development of an alcohol addiction."

Alcohol Encourages Brain Cell Regeneration: "A moderate consumption of alcohol over a longer period boosts the building of new neurons in the brains of adults. This surprising result was presented by a Swedish team of researchers from the Karolinska Institutet ( http://info.ki.se/index_en.html). The repeatedly produced nerve cells have an important function for the memory and learning aptitudes of the brain"

The constant barrage of New Zealand not being capable or not spending enough on defense is finally being addressed in a more truthful light. We are a tiny country not a super power or for that matter an Australian sized country and population. The government rightfully or wrongfully allocates finances as they see fit without totally putting it's citizens on the edge of poverty.

On the Issue of NZ's Defence: "Beyond the unseemly spectacle of politicians using the commemorations of duty and sacrifice on ANZAC Day to score cheap partisan points on the issue of New Zealand’s defence, the question begs as to what, exactly, they are on about. The main complaint seems to be that New Zealand spends too little on defence (0.9% of GDP) when compared to Australia, the United States, United Kingdom, France or Germany. The inference is that New Zealand is not pulling its weight on matters of international security, and instead is sponging off the Australians while annoying the Americans. The trouble with these comparisons is that they are misleadin"

One More Rant

Regarding our earlier post about the father who protested a "Bobby has 2 Daddies" type of textbook being foisted upon his 6 year old child and being subsequently arrested for confronting the school superintendent and refusing to leave, all I can say is that if it was my kid, I would have spent a lot more time than one night in jail. If some pansy-ass educrat told me that I had, "no right to control whether or not (my) child is taught about same-sex marriage," he would be in the hospital for every day I spent in jail. I would clear the room of anybody who got in my way. These arrogant, self-righteous, narcissistic sycophants make me sick, and I would make a disfigured example out of this one. Hey, if I'm going to be arrested, it's going to be for something more worthwhile than trespassing.

This perversity disguised as diversity has got to stop, especially when it comes to our kids. When they get old enough to make their own choices, that's a different story, but to try to pass off an anomaly, a severe break from the norm, as normal to impressionable young children is a crime in my book. The parents are to be the final arbitters of what is acceptable to their children, not the Almighty State and the deranged lunatics that run our public education systems. Got a problem with that? Step up to the plate and be heard. I'd love to hear from you...

Rants for the Day

First, regarding Hassan Akbar, the Muslim traitor in the midst of the US Army who murdered his brothers in arms in Kuwait, prior to invading Iraq - This scumbag, piece of shit, goat-fucker sympathizer should have been shot or beaten to death on the spot back in Kuwait. Since that didn’t happen, he should die by one of the many means the Bedouins have used for thousands of years. Beat and scourge him until a bloddy mess but still conscious, and throw him in a burlap sack with a half-dozen hungry feral cats. Tie the sack, and start hitting its contents with a stick to get the cats pissed off, at which point they start shredding Akbar. Remove mutilated, unidentifiable contents and send pictures to al Jazeera. Send the actual contents to his mother to remind her what a piece of traitorous shit she raised. I am off the charts here with rage, but that is how strongly I feel about this. To harsh? Sue me. Like I care...
*************************************
Next, the "mother" who stabbed her 9 year old son and 3 year old daughter to death - over 100 times each. What the hell is going on in our society? I am at a loss for words to even try to make any sense of something like this. The father came home and found his children. Can you imagine what was going through his mind, the pain and shock he felt when he found the "mother" sitting next to the bloody corpse that was once his daughter? Can you imagine the pain and agony, what was going through the minds of those poor, innocent children as they were being brutally butchered to death BY THEIR MOTHER?!!! Can you? CAN YOU?!!!!! I cannot. This useless waste of flesh admitted doing it. Why bother with a trial? Her fate? See above for my prescription for Akbar's fate.

But I'm making a prediction, based on this: "The stabbings came five years after the couple's 3-month-old daughter died in a fire at an Elk Grove Village town house where the family then lived. The cause of the 2000 fire remains undetermined, but foul play was never suspected, said Larry Hammar, deputy chief of the Elk Grove Village Police. Hammar said his department will investigate that fire again. The mother was home at the time of the blaze."

Some low-life, scumbag attorney will certainly use that to show she is insane and not competent to stand trial. It's pretty self-evident that only an insane monster would do such a thing, but I do not agree that it absolves one of responsibility. She did it, and I don't care why. This bitch should die a slow, miserable, excruciatingly painful death. Again, do I sound too harsh? Compassion and forgiveness for the butchers and monsters of society are God's job, not mine.

Now that's got to be painful...ouch

Lottery

A woman gets home, screeches her car into the driveway, runs into the house, slams the door and shouts to her husband at the top of her lungs,"Pack your bags. I won the lottery!"

The husband says, "Oh my God! What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain stuff?"

"Doesn't matter," she says. "Just get the hell out."

Dad arrested after protesting 'gay' book

Dad arrested after protesting 'gay' book:
"A father who protested a pro-homosexual book his 6-year-old son had been given in school spent a night in jail after being arrested by police.

David Parker, 42, confronted officials at Joseph Estabrook School in Lexington, Mass., Wednesday after his son brought home a copy of 'Who's in a Family,'' a storybook that includes characters who are homosexual parents, the Boston Herald reported."

Simply outrageous!! This is why so many people hate,loathe, despise and otherwise demand the demise of our school systems. Check out the arrogance of these assclowns as it relates to teaching homosexuality to 6 year olds.

WTF

This is asking for trouble, a fleet of ships surrounding the USA in the very near future, not to defend from attack but to flaunt laws. I can envisage a flotilla of Minute Men with real danger in their hearts becoming scuba divers with bombs.

Foreign Workers Coming to a Cruise Ship Near You: "Outsourcing" – which has become synonymous with sending American jobs to India or China – could soon mean foreign workers sleeping in ships just a few miles off America's coasts."

Seacode is the name of the company that is about to taste the anger of American Citizens. My advice is to ensure that legislation is brought about to force any company or person using their programs or any aspect of any design completed by them to be acknowledged in full....a bit like additives in food, and then each and every person stop using or buying from those companies.

Warning to Seacode, make sure they can all swim.

"The company, SeaCode, will seek to classify the workers as "seamen," avoiding U.S. payroll taxes and the need for immigration visas.

Programmers from places like India and Russia would work 8-hour or 10-hour shifts, either day or night. Take-home pay: About $21,500 a year.

Compare that to the salary of an American programmer – median salary for programmers is around $60,000, and those with extensive experience can make $125,000 or more - and U.S. companies like SeaCode could reap a windfall."

Can you imagine Islamic fanatics being aboard these ships , the havoc that could be wrought upon the coasts of America. Seaman is an apt name for these workers , as the will be running in their jeans, for their lives.

AARP Has Its Own Private Accounts

Ironic isn't it. The AARP are so busy disclaiming G.W. Bush, that they failed to notice that they are doing exactly the same thing with peoples funds already, but they are making money off the money also.

AARP Has Its Own Private Accounts:

"While AARP is busy bashing President Bush's plan for personal retirement accounts as unsafe, the organization is raking in millions of dollars from its own private stock and bond accounts."

Pray tell, does the AARP put your money, lo and behold in investment portfolios?

"AARP President Marie Smith declared in a January speech: "Social Security is the only guaranteed, inflation-proof, lifelong benefit that millions of workers, past and present, can count on. We should not be talking about replacing this rock-solid guarantee with a risky gamble."

Surprise, surprise........ it is a risky gamble when done by anyone but them.

"'AARP seems to believe that capitalism is a fine thing as long as they're the only ones practicing it,' said Pete Sepp, vice president of communications for the National Taxpayers Union."

Fuck the Homeless

In Houston, TX they have a problem with the homeless and other bums with "offensive bodily hygiene that constitutes a nuisance to others" sleeping on tables and bathing in the restrooms at public libraries.

All but 2 city council members voted in favor of the measure, one of whom said this:

"'I understand what they're trying to do, but when you start targeting a community like the homeless, I think that's poor policy,' council member Ada Edwards said."

Well, if it is the homeless stinking up the joint, who are they supposed to "target," little old ladies who bathe regularly? And now they are a "community?" You asshat!!! That's the same kind of non-thinking the Left tries to use when they oppose profiling Arabs at the airports. Who flew the planes into the Twin Towers, the IRA? The "right wing militia?" NO!!! It was 11th century-minded fanatical, Muslim goat fuckers!

But if you are going to be homeless, I guess America is the place to do it. You can eat better than you can in two-thirds of the rest of the world by picking through the dumpster behind Pizza Hut. If I could afford 2 homes I would buy 2 just to piss them off. Next time one approaches you at an intersection or coming out of a restaurant or convenience store, asking for money, punch 'em in the mouth, kick 'em in their homeless ass, and tell them to get a job!!! If they are the completely whacked-out insane types, they need to be locked-up in the Padded Room Hotel. Hardly anything would piss me off more than having one of these bums ask me for money on pay day after I got done busting my ass all week for MY money. Fuck the homeless!!! I'm tired of this shit!!!

If you can't make it in America, there is no other place on Earth (besides a welfare state) where you will be able to make it any better.

Who WIll The World Blame

Iran plans to knock out U.S. with 1 nuclear bomb: "WASHINGTON -- Iran is not only covertly developing nuclear weapons, it is already testing ballistic missiles specifically designed to destroy America's technical infrastructure, effectively neutralizing the world's lone superpower, say U.S. intelligence sources, top scientists and western missile industry experts."

Hmmmmm, I suppose the Left will blame G.W. Bush. Lets see ...how about; His unilateral war mongering ways...ummm Bad Intelligence....etc etc

"While Iran still insists officially in talks currently underway with the European Union that it is only developing nuclear power for peaceful civilian purposes, the mid-flight detonation missile tests persuade U.S. military planners and intelligence agencies that Tehran can only be planning such an attack, which depends on the availability of at least one nuclear warhead.

Draft for Dropping Birth Rates

Walker's World: Nightmare of social Europe - (United Press International): "To maintain a constant population requires an average 2.1 children from each woman of child-bearing age. In today's EU, the average woman bears 1.3 children. In Italy and Lithuania (both overwhelmingly Roman Catholic countries) the figure is down to 1.1. The only countries close to replacing themselves are France and Britain, thanks in part to the higher birthrates of immigrant mothers."

Be afraid, the decline in births by white US citizens, is applauded by the Mexicans, as all they have to do is keep breeding and wait, then they will become the defining force of votes in the USA.

I wish he paid the price he ultimately wanted the 'dirty bomb' victims to pay.

"U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie called Lakhani "a victim of his own conduct" who was willing to sell arms "with the expressed purpose to have them used to kill innocent American citizens."

And look at what his scum lawyer has to say.

"Lakhani's lawyer, Henry Klingemen, told CNN, "We accept the verdict but we're disappointed. ... We had an entrapment defense which is still a good defense." He said he will wait until the sentencing to decide on whether to appeal."

What possible excuse is good enough for a foiled mass murderer? Answer: NONE. Tthe intent, purpose and use of the bomb was/is quite obvious.

Old Gator

A guy walks into a bar with a pet alligator by his side.

He puts the alligator up on the bar. He turns to the astonished patrons.
"I'll make you a deal. I'll open this alligator's mouth and place my
genitals inside. Then the gator will close his mouth for one minute.
He'll then open his mouth and I'll remove my unit unscathed. In return
for witnessing this spectacle, each of you will buy me a drink."

The crowd murmured their approval. The man stood up on the bar, and
dropped his trousers, placing his privates in the alligator's mouth. The
gator closed his mouth as the crowd gasped. After a minute, the man
grabbed a beer bottle and rapped the alligator hard on the top of its
head. The gator opened his mouth and the man removed his genitals
unscathed as promised.

The crowd cheered and the first of his free drinks were delivered.
The man stood up again and made another offer. "I'll pay anyone $100
who 's willing to give it a try."

A hush fell over the crowd. After a while, a hand went up in the back of
the bar.

A blonde girl timidly spoke up. "I'll try, but you have to promise not
to hit me on the head with the beer bottle so hard."

..... And you thought it was an alligator joke.

Reuters Finds Self Defense "Odd"

"TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Reuters) - Florida Gov. Jeb Bush signed a new anti-crime law on Tuesday that allows people to kill in self-defense without first trying to flee."

Yes, Reuters chose to put what I consider common sense into the "Oddly Enough" news category. I have come to expect nothing less from them. While I do not feel the need, as a civilian, to own or carry a gun, I have no problem with others exercising their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to do so. I am not worried about getting shot any more than I am about getting run over by a bus. I don't fuck with people, and I don't shoot pool in bars for money, which improves your chances of NOT being shot by at least 90%. For me the average room has about 100 potential lethal "weapons of opportunity," and I have a very developed sense of "situational awareness" which has afforded me the element of surprise before the shit hits the fan on more than one occassion. But that's just me.

Good on ya, Governor Jeb!

Where Is the Blood and Guts

'Nightmare' that wasn't - The Washington Times: Commentary - April 26, 2005: "It's over now, the carnage on the Arizona-Mexico border caused by violent right-wing vigilantes. No longer are members of the so-called Minuteman Project shedding the blood and violating the human rights of innocent Mexicans whose only 'crime' was illegally trying to enter the United States to earn money for their impoverished families"

Oh yes, the scare tactics and untruths, false representation of an organisation that proved once and for all the borders can be patrolled and governor by a little man power.

"Rep. Raul Grijalva, Arizona Democrat, sent a letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, warning that the Minuteman Project "creates a situation for something violent to occur."

I bet Raul Grijalva is eating his words at this very moment, and wishing that he could have stirred enough of a hornets nest to incite bloodshed, violence he predicted, so his point (what point) could be validated.

Another Moonbat Gets FIngered

"I've looked at heaps and piles of facts about what the deranged leaders of this nation are willing to do to the men and women who wear the US military uniform, and I've come to two conclusions. This country's most expendable commodity is its children and, with few exceptions, Americans appear to be both senseless and blind."

"Of course there's going to be a draft, if for no other reason than George Bush has steadfastly promised there wouldn't be one.

They're coming after our children -- sweeping them all up -- bullying them at schools, stalking them, offering them big bucks to join the military. And there's no one to stop them. Servile Americans, even those who can still see, feel helpless. When faced with the decision to stand up and speak up, or give up their children, they are bombarded from all sides with strident demands for patriotism so, like their counterparts of empirical Rome, Americans await their fate -- their children's fate -- in silent despair."
*************************************
Got your attention? Yes, it's another moonbat Leftist, one Sheila Samples, who needs a good fingering (take that any way you want to. I don't care.) Let's get started, shall we?

Hey, you dipshit, I noted that nowhere in your article did you mention that the only talk and advocacy of the draft has come from the DUMMYCRAPS!!! Dummycraps like Congressman Charlie "don't call me Elmer Fudd" Rangel (D-NY). Remember the pre-election scare in which thousands of emails were sent to late teens and young adults, telling them President Bush was going to re-instate the draft? And this constant heart-tugging by referring to our military persons as "children" is just wrong! They are adults, grown men and women who are doing what they chose to do.

Maybe this silly twat should start a group....they could call themselves "MAMS" - Mothers Against the Military.

This piece of emotional, heart-string-tugging drivel is laughable. It's laughable because it's nothing more than a run-of the-mill Bush-bashing tirade. I really think that one of the Left's objectives is to saturate the marketplace of ideas with their insanity just to confuse those future historians who will be looking at all of our media, trying to explain the happenings of our times. To hear clap-trap such as this Samples chick and countless others, you would think that President Bush is as evil or worse than Saddam Hussein! It just drives me crazy! Regardless of how you feel about why the US went into Iraq, at least people aren't being put through industrial plastic shredders anymore.

The second part of the article is a condemnation of the use of depleted uranium:
*************************************
"When will we realize we are the terrorists, and our *weapon of mass destruction is Depleted Uranium?"
*************************************
More of the self-loathing, America-hating rhetoric that comes from the Left. Sheila, when you use words like "terrorist" to describe America or Americans, whatever else you have to say that may be cogent will be dismissed by those same Americans you are trying to reach. Get a clue; or take a Dale Carnegie course.

Sheila concludes:
*************************************
"Because we are Americans, it is not acceptable that our bloodthirsty leaders be allowed to continue to rain DU down upon the world with full knowledge of its destructive potential. We cannot allow Bush to continue to kill our children -- our unborn children -- as he whips up new candidates for death in his rollicking 'scavenger hunt for terror.' It's time we stopped it."
*************************************
The bottom line is that this article is nothing more than a Leftist, Bush-bashing piece that uses an emotional ploy, scare tactics, and irrelevant facts - lots of good information on DU, but no facts whatsoever regarding the draft coming back...except that she hates George W. Bush - to deliver its message. Sure, DU is really nasty stuff. I know because I was trained how to use it. But it's like saying getting attacked by a Great White shark is really bad. Duh, what's the point? However, if Ms. Samples is really so concerned about ridding the planet of DU, more power to her. But she could leave her politics out of it. DU and the other nasties we have in our arsenals have been around long before George W. Bush, and they'll be around long after he's gone. So give me a break already.

Sheila Samples, consider yourself fingered.

ANZAC Day Controversies

As you may or may not know, there were several controversies surrounding this year's ANZAC Day ceremonies at Gallipoli. First, there was Australian PM, John Howard, snubbing the New Zealand memorial service. Then there was the Turkish government prohibiting the performing of the Haka, citing it as offensive. Now the Bee Gees video performance is being criticized (hat tip to Vilmar for this one).

This is a solemn occassion, and it saddens me to see it mired in such trivial nonsense.

Just Shoot Him

"ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) -- An Islamic scholar who prosecutors said enjoyed 'rock star' status among a group of young Muslim men in Virginia was convicted Tuesday of exhorting his followers in the days after Sept. 11 to join the Taliban and fight U.S. troops.

The convictions against Ali al-Timimi, 41, carry a mandatory minimum sentence of life in prison without parole. But the judge left open the possibility that she will toss out some of the counts.

The jury reached its verdict after seven days of deliberations and convicted al-Timimi of all 10 counts."

Believe what you want, but when you advocate taking up arms against US troops, that is treason, and you should be killed. Sound too harsh? Ask me if I care.

Words of Wisdom

The Washington Times: AP: "'Those of you that are bad-mouthing every other suggestion out there, suggest your own plans,' the 71-year-old part-time farmer exhorted, his voice rising. This came after a panelist at Grassley's initial hearing on the politically volatile issue of restructuring the retirement program suggested that benefit cuts and other changes triggered by creation of personal accounts would be more harmful than projected cuts under the existing structure.

'Doing nothing is not an option, because doing nothing is a cut in benefits,' the senator declared. 'Grandpa Grassley gets Social Security, but my granddaughter, when she retires 56 years from now, if we do nothing, is going to get this cut that you're talking about. You can rationalize it all you want to, but by golly, she's entitled to what I got, because her dad and younger people are paying for it.'"

You Have Got To Be Kidding - Moussaoui mother seeks French aid

Moussaoui mother seeks French aid
"The mother of 11 September suspect Zacarias Moussaoui, who admitted conspiracy charges in the US, says her son has been made a scapegoat.

Aicha El-Wafi has asked the French government to take a stand in her son's case and oppose the death penalty."

I know a mother's love is a deep and meaningful emotion, however, when you have a son who has admitted to being a prime player in 9/11, what does she expect, that her son remain alive, when thousands of innocents died?

To blame any other bar her son is a crime to humanity, he chose his path now he goes where it has led him.

Leftist Treachery Exposed and Defeated

University Class Bars Student Over Poem: "NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Southern Connecticut State University barred a student from a poetry class after his professor said a poem he submitted contained veiled threats to sexually assault her and her 3-year-old daughter."

Ok. At first glance, I'm thinking, this guy is a sick bastard. Then I read on:

"Bolles, a 36-year-old married father of two, said he and Ritter have had political disagreements in class. Bolles, a conservative, said he has disagreed with some of the liberal political themes in Ritter's poetry selections."

Now it starts to make sense. How charming. The liberal professor, used to having her way with impressionable younger students, now has a student her own age who challenges her. And she can't take it. The article continues:

"The same is true of the Bolles' poetic character, who pledges to "turn the tables" on his professor and has a tryst with her college-age daughter."

Now I'm pissed. If the poem is about a tryst between a student and his professor's college age daughter, where does this arrogant, full-of-herself bitch get off accusing this guy of wanting to harm her 3 year old daughter? How did she think anybody but her would make such a drastic leap? As you'll read in the rest of the article, there was no violence depicted in the poem. It's just more liberal bullshit - She can't win in the battle of ideas, so she throws some wild accusation and hopes that it sticks. This time, it didn't.

But this is typical of the Left. First, I know how this guy feels because, even though I never had any such drastic action such as this taken on me, while I was taking English in college, most of my professors were liberals, and they always snuck their liberal bullshit into the curricullum. If I challenged anything, my grade usually suffered for it. But that is how they operate. I am sure there are those on the Right who operate in much the same fashion, and I don't condone that, either. Remember, I am an equal opportunity offender, and I don't carry the water for either party. I don't like to silence the opposition; I encouage it. I know that the only way the Left can push through their agenda is by portraying themselves as mainstream. Or as victims. Once they are exposed for what they are, they cannot succeed; except maybe in some banana republic or other third world hell hole. Kelly Ritter, you have been fingered.

Change The Tune You Morons

Like those before, Howard - Australia, Bush - USA, the political folly of who was right in reference to Iraq continues to be the pushing motivation behind the opposition....let's use Iraq as the defining quality of leadership....Would you GROW UP you political morons!!!!!!!

When will people realise, that this war not being supported by the UN, does not make it unjust. The Iraqi people have spoken: The majority are in full support of the US, Britain, Australia and Allies being in occupation. The change of the political structure of Iraq to a more civlised, just and equal system is welcomed; the ousting of their former dictator Saddam and his goon squads, applauded. Let us remember the majority of the terrorists are not from Iraq, but they are the ones that are causing the country to remain unstable. Let me repeat - they are terrorists, fanatical Muslim scum with an agenda to kill infidels. So if you are not Muslim, you are an infidel. In the name of everything that is sacred, THINK.

Once Again, Muslims and the ACLU Just Don't Get It

Muslims sue US Homeland Security over border detentions: "NEW YORK (AFP) - Five US Muslims filed a federal lawsuit alleging violation of their rights by US border agents who detained them as they returned from an Islamic conference in Canada."

They were detained and released. What's the problem? If the Muslims don't get it - that they are under the microscope because a good number of their fellow believers are terrorist scum who are out to destroy America and the West, in general - then, well, fuck 'em. If you have done nothing wrong, then you have nothing to hide. Had they been up to no good and they got through unchecked, the outcry would be that the government is not doing its job. We can't have it both ways. It makes no more sense to treat all people as benign than it does to treat all people as guilty. THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF DETENTION!!! There were enough "flags" raised - Muslims, attending a basically "Up With Islam" pep rally...in Canada, no less - I'm sorry, but that's enough for me to pull your ass aside and ask a few questions, get you fingerprinted, and then make a determination. If it's all good, no harm, no foul, sorry for the inconvenience. If not, job well done. Either we want border security, or we don't. Again, we can't have it both ways. You must be alive to enjoy Life and Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. If you don't like it, my Islamic friends, go back to where you came from and see how you may be treated by your fellow Muslims. Then maybe you'll realize that is why you or your family came to the US in the first place. So if the Customs or Border Security folks inconvenience you for a while, thank them for doing their job instead of hamstringing them in trying to prevent another attack that you could very well be the victim of.

ACLU Will No Doubt Have Some Lawyer Claiming Wrongful Arrest

I would not be surpirsed to be reading shortly claims from an ACLU lawyer that this was a wrongful arrest.......
The Washington Times: AP: "NEW YORK (AP) -- A reputed Afghan drug lord who authorities say operated with the protection of the Taliban has been captured and faces charges that he tried to smuggle more than $50 million worth of heroin into the United States, authorities said.

Bashir Noorzai, who is on the U.S. list of most-wanted drug kingpins, was ordered held without bail at his initial court appearance in Manhattan. If convicted, he could face a maximum sentence of life in prison."

Zarqawi The Clock is Ticking

We have all read on numerous occasions that the hunt for Zarqawi and Bin Laden is a farce. Well, I am a believeer that the US and their Allies, will pursue these murderers to the ends of the earth. It saddens me greatly when the peace lovers of the world read these reports, and then spout..."There you see, incompetent US forces, they only want oil..." and every other negative that their small brains can associate with such reports, as follows.......
Zarqawi escapes US troop trap: "WASHINGTON (AFP) - US forces recently came close to capturing Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq and they have found his laptop computer and seized some of his money."

Whats Wrong In Sweden?????

Funny when reading this article, the first thing that struck me was ...oh dear, and this is what the ACLU wants to become part of everyday life in America - owners of business not having the legal right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. Is America really ready to emulate Europe and it's whackiness? Rights what rights? These liberal spouting countries are nothing more than temporary holding pens of the up and coming radicals.....lets face it they seem to be the only people with any rights in Europe. Personally the last thing I want to see is 2 males or 2 females with their tongues down each others throats while I am out at a restaurant
Restaurant Fined for Throwing Out Kissing Lesbians: "The Court of Appeals in Stockholm ordered restaurant owner Aziz Cakir to pay 50,000 crowns ($7,100) in damages and to cover the legal costs of Sweden's ombudsman against sexual discrimination, HomO, which filed the appeal."

He Sues Lover After Sex Change Hitch: "Twenty-nine-year-old rubber tapper Kuttiyamma, born with both male and female genitals, had been in love with the relative, Laura, 25, for 15 years before having surgery to become a man and change her name to Binu, the Hindustan Times reported."

hmmm...I have a lovely residence for sale here too, called the Bee Hive, some argue, full of fools so maybe the American Businessman will buy this from me too.......
Prime Minister's Residence Sold on Web Site: "NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's intelligence department is investigating reports that a fraudster sold an American businessman the prime minister's residence in the heart of New Delhi recently, a leading daily reported on Sunday."

Now we know they have set the rules, apply them to the illegals sneaking across the border.......
U.S. lawmen aren't laughing at cartoon "TIJUANA – Some U.S. law enforcement officials weren't amused with a cartoon published in Mexican newspapers this month depicting a reward of $10,000 for an FBI or DEA agent.

In the cartoon, a drug trafficker stands near the reward sign. He's quoted as saying, 'Let's see what type of hide yields more belts.' The hide presumably refers to the skin of the agents."

Looks like history always repeats then.......
Pope Is Forgetful, Elder Brother Says: "The new Pope Benedict's elder brother, Georg Ratzinger, 81, told Germany's Bild am Sonntag newspaper Sunday that the pontiff's main weakness was his forgetfulness.

'He sometimes misplaces things, and all of a sudden doesn't know where his watch, his keys or a specific paper are anymore,' the paper quoted Ratzinger as saying."

WTF!!!!!

The Beaver

An 80-year-old man from Colorado went to his doctor for his annual check-up.

The doctor asks him how he's feeling.

The 80-year-old says, "I've never felt better! Life is great and I now have a 20 year-old bride who is pregnant with my child. What do you think about that?"

The doctor considers his question for a minute and then begins. "I have an older friend, much like you, who is an avid trophy hunter and never misses a season. One day, when he was going out hunting, he was in a bit of a hurry and accidentally picked up his walking cane instead of his gun. When he got to the creek, he saw a prime beaver sitting beside the stream of water. He raised his cane and went 'bang, bang'. Suddenly, two shots rang out and the beaver fell over dead. What do you think of that?"

The 80-year-old said, "I'd say somebody else pumped a couple of rounds into that beaver."

The doctor replied, "My point exactly."

I Personally Remember and Honor

Some WWII service medals from my Uncle Max. Many of my family have served and are still serving proudly in various New Zealand Armed Forces. My late father lost two fingers while serving as an artilleryman in WWII, and he was buried with his medals and paybook, as he requested. On his right forearm was tattooed, "Death Before Dishonour," and he lived by that code.  

ANZAC DAY - REMEMBRANCE TO ALL WHO HAVE SERVED

Introduction
Anzac Day in New Zealand is held on 25 April each year to commemorate New Zealanders killed in war and to honour returned servicemen and women. The day has similar importance in Australia, New Zealand's partner in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps at Gallipoli. The ceremony itself has been continually adapted to the times, but has also steadily acquired extra layers of symbolism and meaning.
The Dawn Service

A typical commemoration begins with a march by returned service personnel before dawn to the local war memorial. Military personnel and returned service-men and -women form up about the memorial, joined by other members of the community, with pride of place going to the war veterans. A short service follows with a prayer, hymns (including Kipling's 'Recessional' or 'Lest We Forget'), and a dedication which concludes with the last verse of Laurence Binyon's 'For the Fallen':

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

The Last Post is then played, followed by a minute's silence and Reveille. A brief address follows, after which the hymn 'Recessional' is sung. The service concludes with a closing prayer and the singing of the National Anthem.

Another ceremony takes place later that morning, with returned service personnel wearing their medals, and marching behind banners and standards. The veterans are joined by other community groups, including members of the armed forces, the Red Cross, cadets, and veterans of other countries' forces.

Anzac wreath.
The march proceeds to the local war memorial, where another service takes place, including the laying of wreaths by various organisations and members of the public.

This service is a less intimate and emotional ceremony than the dawn service, but serves as a more public commemoration. The speech, usually by an important dignitary, serviceman, or returned serviceman or woman, tends to be of a conservative nature, with much stress on nationhood and remembrance. After these services, many of the veterans retire to the local RSA club or hotel, where they enjoy coffee and rum (in the case of the dawn service) and 'unwind' after an emotionally and, for elderly veterans, physically exhausting event. At the end of the day, the ceremony of the 'Retreat' is performed.

1915: Gallipoli Remembered
The first public recognition of the landings at Gallipoli took place on 30 April 1915, after news of the dramatic event had reached New Zealand. For the "rest of the story" go to NZ History/Anzac

ANZAC Reports

This is an excerpt from Hamilton's report......

"The attack along the Chailak Dere was not so cleanly carried out -- made, indeed, just about as ugly a start as any enemy could wish. Pressing eagerly forward through the night, the little column of stormers found themselves held up by a barbed-wire erection of unexampled height, depth and solidity, which completely closed the river bed -- that is to say, the only practicable entrance to the ravine. The entanglement was flanked by a strongly-held enemy trench running right across the opening of the Chailak Dere. Here that splendid body of men, the Otago Mounted Rifles, lost some of their bravest and their best, but in the end, when things were beginning to seem desperate, a passage was forced through the stubborn obstacle with most conspicuous and cool courage by Captain Shera and a party of New Zealand Engineers, supported by the Maoris, who showed themselves worthy descendants of the warriors of the Gate Pah. Thus was the mouth of the Chailak Dere opened in time to admit of the unopposed entry of the right assaulting column."

Who Said This?

"I think that an objective analysis of events that are taking place on this earth today points towards some type of ultimate showdown. You can call it political showdown, or even a showdown between the economic systems that exist on this earth which almost boil down along racial lines. I do believe that there will be a clash between East and West. I believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those that do the oppressing. I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the systems of exploitation."

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The U.S. military said Saturday it detained six men suspected of shooting down a civilian helicopter carrying 11 civilians north of Baghdad two days earlier. All 11 people on board — including six Americans — were killed, with the Bulgarian pilot gunned down by insurgents.
