Guidelines | consignes

DISCLAIMER: in my experience, the following doesn't apply to 99% of my readership. Unfortunately, experience also shows it has to be written down for the remaining 1%.

The short version, when it comes to my comments policy, goes down to a line taken from the (mediocre) second opus of the Matrix:

"I built this place. Down here, I make the rules."

Let's elaborate a bit:

  1. Try to stay on topic. If you have a beef against the cow-fart(1) induced climate change and this post is about monkey spanking(2), then it's not the place to draw your sword(3).
    I have nothing against a freewheeling conversation, but if it's off-topic AND stupid or offensive, then it will have a badly limited lifespan.
  2. Consider the two following statements…
    • I'm totally open-minded when it comes to rational ideas.
    • It is quite obvious that Anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism, Islamism, Nationalism, Racism, Collectivism(4) and Multiculturalism (non-exhaustive list) exist in complete contradiction with Reason.
    … And guess the total amount of tolerance you can expect from me if you indulge in any of these.
  3. If you shall persist in these ways nevertheless, understand that I'm not spending countless hours of work on this site to "reach out", "debate" with you, "understand" your "root causes" or "learn" about your religion. Unlike race, ideology is something we choose, and for which we must bear all responsibilities. I loathe your sick mindset and what you defend and promote. I've heard all your pitiful excuses for your despicable totalitarian psyche and your compulsion to coerce or enslave your fellow men and women in the name of some "greater good".
    So understand that this is not a public forum: it is my outpost in the culture war you wage against me, my kin, my rights and my freedom — thus, you will only be tolerated here, and only if I decide so. I call the shots and I owe you nothing. As a matter of fact, I don't like having you around, so the only argument you're truly entitled to hear from me would come, if you insist, amplified through the barrel of my Sig-Sauer high powered rifle(5) — because when it comes to intolerant scumbags, I'm an intolerant bastard.
    So keep your distances, and nobody gets hurt.
  4. I also have a very limited patience for social-democrats of all race and creed, center-of-center jellyfish and buttermonkey(6) hybrids, Blame-America-First (and always) Libertarians (usually of the Rothbardian school), Hollywood idiots & Festival-de-Cannes cretins and those Parisians who fancy themselves as an elite when they are nothing but the developed world's rednecks(7). However, I tend to ignore them, so they may consider themselves lucky if they manage to draw some sarcasm in colorful language from me.
  5. Yeah, and don't get me started on journalists and the Wonderful World of Mainstream Media...
  6. American and British soldiers (including the Commonwealth) stand on a special pedestal in my personal pantheon. Disrespect them here, and you'll quickly wish you'd rather stand naked in Mecca during Hajj, wearing only a sign that reads "Muhammad was a pedophile".
  7. I may moderate, remove or edit anything and give neither excuses nor explanations. It has nothing to do with "censorship": I am not a State, you are not a coerced citizen of said State and so you are always free to express yourself on your own facility and by your own means. Commenting is not a right, it is a privilege I grant or take away, according to my right as the owner of this place.
  8. My site is not awfully biased: it's shamelessly opinioned. If you're on my side, you get my vote and are free to rant 'n' roll. If not, live with it or go rot in the gutter.
  9. Oh and, if you're a vegan, be advised that I hunt, kill, cook(8) and eat all sorts of animals, and thoroughly enjoy the whole lot of it. Have fun with your carrots, Doc.
  1. Ha ha. Beef. Cow. Geddit?
  2. It's been known to happen.
  3. Neither is the guestbook by the way.
  4. That includes of course all its variations: Socialism, National-Socialist, Communism, Fascism, etc.
  5. With a loud 'Bang'
  6. Nope, don't know what species is that either, but it does sound like a particularly vile creature, doesn't it?
  7. Tell me London, New-York, Sydney or Tokyo, but Paris is a dump.
  8. Frequently in some sort of wine sauce or with loads of tears-pulling spices. Grapes and pepper count as veggie stuff right?

AVERTISSEMENT : selon mon expérience, ce qui suit ne s'applique pas à 99% de mes lecteurs. Malheureusement, l'expérience prouve aussi qu'il faut que cela soit écrit pour le pourcentage restant.

La version courte, concernant ma politique pour les commentaires, se résume à une ligne tirée du second (médiocre) volet de Matrix:

"J'ai construit cet endroit. Ici, je fais les lois."

Élaborons un brin :

  1. Il existe une subtile différence entre "être familier" et "traiter familièrement". Cela signifie que les culs-sales qui s'imaginent débarquer ici et me tutoyer comme si nous avions gardé les piquets de grève ensemble verront leur contribution à la conversation éradiquée sans autre forme de procès. Quelle que soit la pertinence de ladite contribution. Même si vous n'êtes Vraiment Pas Content® avec ce que j'écris, cela ne vous dispense pas de surveiller vos manières : tant que je n'ai pas été présenté à votre chère Maman, nous nous vouvoierons. Vu ?
  2. Évitez le hors-sujet. Si vous avez une rancune à l'égard de l'impact des pets de vache sur le changement climatique et que cet article traite de la fessée de macaque(1), alors ce n'est pas l'endroit d'où lancer votre croisade (2).
    Je n'ai rien contre une conversation à bâtons rompus, mais si c'est hors-sujet ET stupide ou insultant, ça aura une durée de vie salement limitée.
  3. Considérez les deux affirmations suivantes...
    • J'ai une ouverture d'esprit totale en ce qui concerne toutes idées rationnelles.
    • Il est évident qu' Anti-américanisme, anti-Sémitisme, Islamisme, Nationalisme, Racisme, Collectivisme(3) et Multiculturalisme (liste non-exhaustive) existent en complète contradiction avec la Raison.
    ... Et tâchez de devinez la dose totale de tolérance que vous pouvez attendre de moi si vous cédez à l'une de ces sirènes.
  4. Si vous deviez cependant persister dans ces voies, comprenez que je ne dépense pas un nombre incalculable d'heures de travail sur ce site pour vous "tendre la main", "débattre" avec vous, "comprendre" vos "causes profondes" ou "apprendre à connaitre" votre religion. Contrairement à la race, l'idéologie est le résultat de nos choix, et nous devons en supporter l'entière responsabilité. J'abhorre votre mentalité tarée, et ce que vous défendez et promouvez. J'ai entendu toutes vos pitoyables excuses pour votre détestable psyché de totalitaire et votre compulsion à forcer et réduire vos semblables en esclavage au nom d'un quelconque "intérêt général".
    Comprenez donc que ceci n'est pas un forum publique : c'est mon avant-poste dans la guerre culturelle que vous lancez contre moi, mes semblables, mes droits et ma liberté — vous ne serez que toléré ici, et seulement si je le décide. Je tire les ficelles, et ne vous doit rien. En fait je n'aime pas vous voir dans le coin, et en conséquence les seuls arguments de ma part auxquels vous puissiez réellement prétendre, si vous insistez, se transmettent par le canon de ma carabine de fort calibre Sig-Sauer(4) — Parce dès qu'ils s'agit d'ordures intolérantes, je suis un salaud d'intolérant.
    Alors gardez vos distances, et personne ne sera blessé.
  5. J'ai aussi un patience très limitée pour les sociaux-démocrates de toute confession et couleur, les centristes-du-centre fruits de l'union d'une méduse et d'un cul de singe, les Libertarés de l'École Rothbard conditionnés au "C'est la faute à l'Amérique, toujours et partout", Les Idiots d'Hollywood et les Crétins-de-Cannes, de même que ces parisiens qui se prennent pour une élite alors qu'ils ne sont que les bouseux du monde développé (5). J'ai cependant tendance à les ignorer, et ils peuvent donc s'estimer chanceux s'ils arrivent à me soutirer ne serait-ce qu'un sarcasme en langage fleuri.
  6. Ouais, et ne me lancez pas sur les journalistes et le Monde Merveilleux des Medias...
  7. Les soldats Américains et Britanniques (parmi lesquels j'inclue le Commonwealth) prennent place sur un piédestal particulier dans mon panthéon personnel. Manquez leur de respect ici, et vous souhaiterez rapidement vous trouver plutôt à la Mecque en période Hajj, tout nu avec seulement une pancarte autour du coup sur laquelle on puisse lire "Mahomet était un pédophile".
  8. Je peux modérer, supprimer ou éditer quoi que ce soit, sans fournir d'excuses ni d'explications. Cela n'a rien à voir avec de la “censure”, pour une raison très simple : je ne suis pas un État, vous n'êtes pas un citoyen opprimé dudit État et demeurez donc libre de vous exprimer sur votre propre support et par vos propres moyens. Commenter n'est pas un droit, c'est un privilège que j'accorde ou refuse selon mon droit de propriétaire des lieux.
  9. Mon site n'est pas affreusement partial, il est impudemment orienté. Si vous êtes de mon côté, vous avez mon aval et êtes libre de disserter à l'envi. Sinon, faites avec ou allez crever dans le caniveau.
  10. Oh, et si vous êtes végétarien, sachez que je chasse, tue, cuisine(6) et bouffe toutes sortes d'animaux, et que j'apprécie le tout sans aucune retenue. Soyez heureux avec vos carottes Docteur.
  1. C'est déjà arrivé.
  2. C'est aussi valable pour le Livre d'Or.
  3. Ce qui inclue aussi ses variantes : Socialisme, National-Socialisme, Communisme, Fascisme, etc.
  4. Avec un gros 'Bang'
  5. Londres, New-York, Sydney ou Tokyo, d'accord. Mais Paris, c'est un bled de cul-terreux.
  6. Généralement avec une sauce au vin, ou alors des poignées d'épices à t'arracher la tripaille. Le raisin et les piments, ça compte comme trucs de végétarien, non ?

  1. As an additional layer of defense against comment spamming and surf-by shooting, I enacted a set of restrictions on how you can post a comment as a simple guest on my site (i.e. either when you're not registered as a member, or registered but not logged in), starting with pre-publishing comment approval. As approving comments will take a certain — and variable — amount of time, I invite you to check-in if you're serious about joigning the conversation in real time.
  2. Non-authenticated users are also limited to the following HTML tags:
    • Bold (<strong></strong>)
    • Italic (<em></em>)
    • Underline (<u></u>)
    • Quote (<blockquote></blockquote>)
    Don't bother entering any other tags, as they will automagically get stripped on posting.
  3. Members have access to a greater range of tags and publishing tools, and they can also choose to be informed by email of follow-up comments, for any given thread.
  4. Members also have an easier and more straightforward posting process. Some of the system defenses are lowered for them, and the details fields (name, etc.) are pre-filled with the information they entered in their profile.
  5. Members have a greater chance to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, while it will be assumed that, in addition to an opinion, strangers have stinky feet and greasy fingers. They may therefore be regarded with great condescension by regular members and the dissident frogman alike, and derided accordingly. So wash your feet, your hands, and register.
  6. A reminder: you decide what you write, no matter how brilliant or stupid it might be, and the fact that I let it go published doesn't mean I condone, agree or disagree with it—no matter if I answer it or not. Hey, you're supposed to be a responsible adult, right?

If you need further help with the site, you may want to check the Field Manual. Ultimately, you can also drop me a line. I usually don't answer jellyfish and buttermonkey(1) hybrids however.

  1. Nope, don't know what species is that either, but it does sound like a particularly vile creature, doesn't it?
  1. En défense contre le spam et les tirs isolés, j'ai établi un ensemble de restrictions sur l'ajout de commentaires par les simples visiteurs sur le site (i.e. soit lorsque vous n'êtes pas enregistré comme membre, soit lorsque vous l'êtes, mais n'avez pas ouvert une session), dont notamment la modération avant publication. L’approbation des commentaires prenant un temps certain et variable, je vous invite donc à vous inscrire, si vous envisagez sérieusement de participer à la conversation en temps réel.
  2. Les utilisateurs non authentifiés sont également limités aux balises HTML suivantes :
    • Gras (<strong></strong>)
    • Italique (<em></em>)
    • Souligné (<u></u>)
    • Citation (<blockquote></blockquote>)
    Ne vous fatiguez pas à en utiliser d'autres, le texte passe par un filtre de suppression lors de la publication.
  3. Les membres ont accès à une plus large sélection d'outils et de balises, et ils peuvent choisir pour chaque 'conversation' à laquelle ils prennent part d'être informé par email des réponses.
  4. Les membres ont également un "processus de publication" plus simple et direct. Certaines défenses du système sont abaissées pour eux, et les champs des détails sont pré-remplis avec les informations qu'ils ont entré dans leur profil.
  5. Les membres ont une plus grande chance d'entrer au Royaume des Cieux, tandis que l'on considèrera que, en sus d'une opinion, les visiteurs venus d'ailleurs ont les doigts gras et les pieds sales. Ils pourront de ce fait être traité avec grande condescendance par les autres membres et le dissident frogman de même, et ridiculisés en conséquence. Alors lavez vos mains, vos pieds, et inscrivez-vous.
  6. Pour mémoire : vous décidez de ce que vous écrivez, aussi brillant ou stupide que cela soit, et le fait que j'en autorise la publication ne signifie pas que je l'approuve ou le désapprouve, et cela que j'y réponde ou non. Hé, vous êtes censé vous comporter en adulte responsable, s'pas ?

Si vous avez besoin de plus d'aide avec le site, jetez un œil au manuel d'instruction. Au pire, vous pouvez également m'envoyer un mot. J'ai cependant tendance à ne pas répondre aux fruits de l'union d'une méduse et d'un cul de singe.

My favorite Algore moment was during the 2000 presidential debates.   GW was answering a question and Algore ‘invaded’ his personal space, puffing himself up and trying to look like some playground bully.  GW just laughed him off and kept going.

It was the dumbest thing Algore had ever done in public - up until he declared himself the champion of global warming.  The sad thing is all the people who run around behind him, giving him money and hanging onto his every word.

Algore is one of the original "phoney soldiers", having claimed to have patrolled the perimeter, shooting first and asking questions later. Then it turned out he was patrolling with a typewriter.

Cobaltberet: I sometimes wonder about Kerry’s service record as well - hard to tell what really happened to him and when. I just flat out don’t believe a word he says.

Gore’s disdain of the Military is a well-known fact. He is also known to embelish his accomplishments - his ill-chosen words in an early interview stating that he "took the initiative in creating the Internet", when in fact what he did was sponsor funding for the creation of the Internet is the classic example. His political ambitions far and away negate his good intentions, and we all know what road is paved with good intentions! Many Gore supporters claim that his words are taken out of context. Well, if he’d been a bit more accurate in his initial statement, it wouldn’t have left any room for misinterpretation. But it’s my opinion that such ambiguously worded statements are intentional, in the hopes that anyone not familiar with the evolution of a product or event or institution, etc. will be hood-winked enough to think more of the man that what he really is - a politician, first, last, and always.

I agree, IG.  I expect if Algore is ever forced to face off with someone who knows climatology - and not some junk scientist who’s swallowed the global warming bath water in exchange for funding -  he won’t be able to defend the stuff he’s spouting.  I’d be surprised if he understands even a small percentage of what he espouses.  He’s most likely regurgitating what he’s been told.

I’m hoping someone steps up for this presidential election who knows what he or she is talking about, and not just the usual political mush.  I get so sick of the Dem’s running around claiming to know what the American people want.  I would never approve of my child being taught that rubbish Algore pushes.  We home school because my son, who is Ukrainian (adopted 5 years ago), has to have one-on-one teaching to get caught up.  That’s our main reason, but I’m sure glad he doesn’t have to wade through the liberal goop to try and do what he and the rest of the children are there for; learning reading, writing, math, and real science for crying out loud!

I think the dumbest thing Gore’s ever done in public was when he toured Monticello back in 1993, when  he saw the busts of George Washington and Ben Franklin, but didn’t know it and had to ask who they were.  That wasn’t widely reported in the media, of course, but you know for sure that had GWB done something like that, we’d have heard about it for weeks.


The lefties who hang onto Gore’s every word are just another example of the left’s willingness to suspend reality long enough for them to feel like they’re doing something good for the "global community."   As we all know, the left is more about feelings than facts - they never let a little thing like the truth get in the way of their emotion-based "arguments."

It’s not so much that I mind Al Gore’s stupidity, it’s his hypocrisy that I can’t stand.  Just like most liberals he’s quick to point out how you should live and slow to practice what he preaches.  Preaching about carbon footprints and having one of the largest footprints you can find.  Course this is O.K. because he buys "carbon offset credits".  What a farce!

What turns this farce into fraud is that he purports to purchase those credits from himself!  (Maybe he keeps them in a "lock box" for safe keeping?)

I couldn’t remember where Gore displayed his lack of education about our founding fathers. Thanks for reminding me, Sister.

I’ve wondered since Sheryl Crowe’s bit about how we should only use one square of TP for each trip to the bathroom if her guitar technicians wear rubber gloves now.  But that’s assuming she wasn’t just trying to tell us commoners how to live and that she would actually practice what she preaches.  She’s a liberal though so the odds are probably ...nahh.

Iwo Gina, Kerry quite possibly received a Less Than Honorable Discharge because that is the only discharge than can be upgraded without petitioning the President for an upgrade. Jimmy Carter could have still signed it but a Less Than Honorable Discharge, if there is no indication of legal infraction in the intervening period, automatically upgrades to an Honorable Discharge on its own. I personally wish that he had received the punishment that was called for by treating with the enemy in Europe while he was still in uniform, a Dishonorable Discharge and Life imprisonment.

 

As you’ll notice anytime I talk about sKerry I lose my sense of humor. Sorry.

Mike: I find it difficult to talk about certain public figures without getting acid indigestion. All liberals, the majority of Democrats, and a handful of Republicans fall immediately into this category. I used to be naive enough to think that the Dems were motivated by good intentions. Now, however, I am more inclined to think that they are not as public-spirited as I was willing to give them credit for. I am very suspicious of any "issue" that a Dem adopts as a personal cause - not only because they usually end up asking for "research funds" (i.e., another bite out of my take-home pay for something I will never in my lifetime benefit from), but also because of the mountain of misinformation that spews forth in an effort to legitimize the issue. They are masters of spin. I could go on, but I’m fresh out of Tums.

I’d like to share something I found this week.  As you may or may not know, David Suzuki is Canada’s champion on Kyoto.  He has been on the CBC tv station since the 70’s and has been on the Kyoto bandwagon since it appeared.

Now, I offer you three podcasts that I found.  The first is David Suzuki getting angry at the interviewer for simply questioning the data supporting Kyoto.

The second is a rebuttle to Suzuki’s interview by Dr. Timothy Ball.

The third is a conference given by Dr. Timothy Ball that answers a few questions about CO2.

All podcasts are in english.

Believe it or not, I love this planet and I care for the environment.  But I’m not an expert.  The more I know about it, the better I can fight the BS.  We can all learn something and shape our own opinions about it.

That’s the best way to fight Al Gore.  An Inconvenient Truth should NOT be in schools.

Kudos to the Judge who turned it down.

Thanks guys.  I didn’t know if I was being pushy. 

But consider this:  I don’t know Tim Ball, I discovered him in the movie "the Great Global Swindle", but for all I know, he might be crazy.  I just don’t know him.

But I did learn something new the other day.  And he does tell his audiance to make their own minds with the info he passes on. 

Oh, and just the fact that Al Gore’s movie is being pushed into school curriculums, that’s telling you something about what is considered mainstream.  Rosie O’Donnel was mainstream for a while…

Going "mainstream" is not synonymus with Good.

Red Collar:

If you haven’t already, do look into the history and foundations of the major "enviro-movements". You’ll find them heavily populated with disenchanted marxists from the ‘60s and ‘70s, for the most part.

 

By disenchanted marxists I mean the ones that felt marxism wasn’t quite misanthropic enough. The more hard core enviro groups have no problem with being very up front with how they believe that humanity must be punished and the human population greatly reduced.

Some of the groups have given up on the more marxist/athiest rhetoric and adopted a mishmash of neo-paganism and "nature worship".

In many instances, radical enviroism is taking on all the aspects of a religious cult.

Red Collar, it appears that the largest amount of vocal debunkers are from Canada. For instance, in addition to Dr. Ball there is Steve McIntyre at www.climateaudit.org. He has a number of scientists collaborating on analyzing Dr. Hansen’s data from NASA. DR. Hansen (who is one of the most vocal scientists on Anthropologically induced Global Warming) has had to restate his conclusions concerning the hottest year on record. There are other aspects of Mr. McIntyre’s work that will come out as he validates or invalidates the work at NASA. I don’t have a hard science background so I follow the conversations and leave the numbers to them.

I believe in caring for the environment, but Gore’s movie is pure propaganda.  It’s about the government taxing us and further regulating our behavior.

There are some odd facts about this debate. If CO2 levels follow rise in temperature, how can they be a cause?  During the Holocene Normal, temperatures were 8° higher than today.  How did the polar bears survive it? and why didn’t Europe flood?  Why did 70% of this century’s warming occur before 1940, well before the increase in use of fossil fuels?  Finally, what did the computer model do when they corrected the bad data NASA gave them?

Below are some interesting links.  Don’t miss #5.

Awsome links, you guys.  I’m usually watching out for terrorists, but this is amazing.

Iwo Gina, glad you enjoyed that as much as I did.  Love your name, BTW.

Gimmy, we’ll have a talk someday.  I’m right there with you man.  I think you understand "them" better than I do.  Expcept that I think we see the children of these people now.  Liberals, Democrats and Socialists who don’t know about maxism any more but keep going.  Cult-like behaviour?  I agree.

Mike H, yeah, they can keep the numbers, that’s over my head too.  Good link also.  But you say that many debunkers are in Canada?  I don’t see them, man.  The city of Montreal is creating "environment jobs" and pushing recycling to a new level. 

Arch:  Even if you’re a guy, I LOVE YOU.  Wow.  Go #5!  All your links were off the hook.

QUOTE OF THE DAY (from your link to The Faithful Heretic):  "You can go outside and spit and have the same effect as doubling carbon dioxide."

Bwaaahahahaha, take THAT, Suzuki !!!

Red Collar, actually they’re not out in the open, Steve McIntyre is a businessman who had retired and had time to follow his degree (statistics) and check the numbers. If you’ll drop back every once in a while you’ll find references to other folks from Canada. The ones that you see in the news are unknowledgeble in terms of real science. They’re normally called politicians. ;)

You might enjoy this some. It’s a bit off topic but I’m just crazy brave that way :)

This is an hour long interview with Australia’s Lt Col (Dr.) Dave Kilcullen. He’s been one of Gen Petraeus’ senior advisors on COIN ops. The interview goes into a decent level of detail on the basics of counter insurgency and also goes into some good specific issues regarding Iraq and Afghanistan.

One of the reasons the Dissident Frogman is my favorite blog site is because of you guys - all the folks that write in with comments, opinions, links, and other contributions to the topics introduced by our charming host, the Dissident Frogman. I can’t tell you how much I have learned from each of you. The discussions that take place in the comments section are such a refreshing change from the one-sided monologues of op-eds, speeches, and soft interviews of television, magazines and newspapers. DF - I am so  glad you and your site reappeared in cyberspace, and in my opinion, it is better than ever! Thanks for coming back.

P.S. How’s the t-shirt project coming along?

Hey Grimmy, have the milbloggers gotten into the Anthro wars yet? It seems that the main stream anthropologium have declared war on anyone working with "The Knuckle Dragging Brutes of Occupation™".

MikeH:

From what little I’ve seen on the issue, there are those in the Anthro field that are pitching in and doing a fair lot to help, especially in assisting the fine tuning of our military/civil approach to tetchy heathen weirdnesses.

 

There are those in the Anthro field that declare themselves as deserving of the usual treatment for them what can’t decide to back their own during a time of war.

Someday, the rage will break and such intellectual inbred scum will find itself intimately familiar with the concept of "fatal flaw".

Yeah, the beauty about the ones who are helping is that the troops have seen a heck of a reduction in encounters.

 

My jibe was aimed at the worthless ones that came to biological maturity at the time that I was floating around the far east.

Two things: 

First, Gimmy, that link was awsome.  Favorite quote:  "No counter-insurgency has ever taken less than ten years..."

Second, please tell me I’m dreaming.  Al Gore won a Nobel PEACE Prize?!  WTF? 

Well I just gave Gore another prize, the "Full Speed Ahead" prize for idiots who are going straight to hell.

A phrase, and tactical/strategic concept that you might want to start familiarizing yourself with, so you can be ahead of the discussions when the heathen civvies get started on it…

Distributed Operations (DO).

The below are links to the concept on the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory site.

www.mcwl.usmc.mil/SV/SV_DO.cfm is the front page. At the bottom of the page are two links to articles that go into some depth of discussion into how the concept had to be tested and evaluated and goes into some of the considerations and developments that have arisen from those tests and evaluations.

The articles are written by Marines for Marines so it tends to be in Marine speak but it should be understandable to most heathen.

First off, French Froggie… how are you doing?  You’re awfully quiet out there.  Is your dad improving?  I certainly hope and pray that is the case.

As for Al and his Gorebal warming.... the NoBalls Committee has struck again... 

You have a choice:  One leader who has freed 50 million people from murderous tyranny and political domination.  He is universally reviled for it.  No prize.

Then you have another "leader" who spent 8 years ignoring murderous tyranny, political domination and cruel genocide.  He manages to make a mint from his scaremongering and he is lauded as a hero and given a prize.

To coin a phrase… Sickly transit gloria mundi....

Al Gore has just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

In Australia, The tv station that was covering it best, decided to feature the leader of the conservationist foundation. He went on saying that if we dont take climate change seriously then we face serious security threats.

I fail to see the link between the earth getting warmer and our countrys security.....

Denny_Crane:

 

The linkage supposedly goes like this:

As the have nots get more and more have notty then they’ll act out and get pissy at those that aren’t so have notish. So, droughts will force migrations, etc etc.

And those of us who are still in the greedy rat bastard level of have it allish wont want to share with the icky have notties. So the have notties will have no choice but to kill us and take our stuffs.

And, it will, of course, be all our fault, because we’re just evil that way.

Red Collar: Want a good laugh (or maybe a good cry)? Read this short and concise article about the Goreacle’s Nobel Prize here:

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/13/us/politics/13gore.html?ex=1349928000&en=e28b55fe5dedc292&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss

Pay special attention to what Rep. Rahm Emmanuel (AKA "SWAK" {Slick Willie Ass Kisser}, and a Big Brother wannabe {the book he co-authored with Bruce Reed, "The Plan", scares the hell out of me!}) says about Gore. VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY interesting!

Don’t worry about Al Gore running for president unless he starts to lose all that weight he’s put on—about 40 pounds, I’d estimate. As Ann Coulter observed, he looks like he ate Michael Moore.

First, Iwo Gina, "thanks a lot" for making me read the NYTimes...  I’ll get you for that.  lol

And what I saw in the Globe and Mail yesterday seems to emulate Rahm Emmanuel’s POV… (I wasn’t thinking of you guys, but I had to take that picture)

But it’s the phrase:  "President Carter, stop calling me" that really cracked me up. 

So I give you and honest THANK YOU for that one, dear.

Ok, I’m off to read up on COIN.  Plus I have the latest Harry Potter to read and I’m going throught Orwell’s The War Commentaries to see if I can pick up details that I missed last time.
