Hooked on 'Deadliest Catch'
Last night I discovered "Deadliest Catch," Discovery Channel's show about Alaskan crab fishermen. If you had explained the show to me, I would not have been interested. So, I won't bore you. Just try it.
Cat terrorizes Connecticut town
A cat named Lewis is attacking local residents of Fairfield, Conn.
AP:
Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!
AP:
The neighbors said those weapons (claws), along with catlike stealth, have allowed Lewis to attack at least a half dozen people and ambush the Avon lady as she was getting out of her car.
Some of those who were bitten and scratched ended up seeking treatment at area hospitals.
Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!

Hating America Report
1. Bill Clinton. It's probably true that Bubba doesn't hate America, but it can be difficult to distinguish irrational hatred of Bush from hatred of America. Khaleej Times (I know, the source is garbage) via Drudge: "Former U.S. President Bill Clinton said on Tuesday that Britain’s economy, environmental policy and attempts at modernization were envied in the United States, where comparable policies under President George W. Bush were lacking."
Bubba, Bubba, Bubba. As much as we like the UK, we suffer no envy whatsoever. Bubba is doing what the left does -- sacrificing truth to attack a Republican president.
2. London Mayor Ken Livingstone. Brits call him Red Ken for reasons everyone familiar with the unhinged whackjob understands. Reuters: "London's rambunctious mayor, already fighting suspension for comparing a Jewish journalist to a concentration camp guard, landed in fresh hot water on Tuesday for likening the U.S. ambassador to a 'chiseling little crook.'"
3. The Guardian. Britain's commie newspaper has carved a market niche with its seething hatred of the USA. Martin Jacques' new commentary article, "Imperial overreach is accelerating the global decline of America", is true to The Guardian's editorial directive.

Laughable damage control at IslamiCity
I found another odd article posted at islamicity.com, this one entitled "Stop the 'Clash' Talk'. The article is devoted to debunking the concept that the West is involved in a clash of civilizations. I happen to support the idea that it's not such a clash -- how can a 21st century civilization "clash" with a 1st century civilization? Not much of a clash -- It's more like bicyclists yelling at cars as they go by on the highway.
-- Negative media images of Islam & Muslims.
-- Suspicion of Muslims and stereotyping.
-- Influential (negative) evangelists
-- Non-Muslim unawareness of the positive history of Islam
-- Some Muslims misrepresenting Islam
-- Some assert that Islam has always been at "war"
-- Some Muslims are themselves ignorant of their history
This is outlandish stuff. The 'clash' idea comes from none of the above. Rather, it comes from Muslims butchering innocent civilians, including women and little babies, as a response to things like publishing cartoons in a newspaper. The idea also comes from things like the Afghani man who converted from Islam to Christianity and promptly was imprisoned with a death sentence. The idea comes from things like passenger jets being flown into skyscrapers. It comes from 40 years of terrorism, suicide bombings, and other activity warranting the same kinds of sentiments the West developed for the Nazis.
Here's a sequence from the article that caused my jaw to hang open:
"...(not) involved in the holocaust of millions of innocent jews"
Nearly all Islamic nations were allied with Adolf Hitler during WWII. Mein Kempf is a best seller in Turkey and most other nations with a Muslim majority. And, leaders who command much respect within the Muslim world, and who routinely speak in the Middle East, as well as write articles for major newspapers from Cairo to Gaza, deny the holocaust.
Killings in Vietnam
Vietnam could have been another Germany or Japan, as opposed to the pathetic place it is now. Standing up to communism was a very good thing to do. Or does anyone approve of the tens of millions of people killed under Joe Stalin or Mao Tse-duong?
American slave trade
There is really no defense for the slave trade, except to say that nearly all cultures on earth were involved in slavery at one time or another, including Muslims. That the USA was one of the last countries to have legalized slavery is shameful, for sure -- but I'm angered to be reminded of that by anyone belonging to a culture that kills daughters for speaking to men and stones women to death for becoming pregnant outside of wedlock. Americans did neither to the slaves.
Dropping atomic weapons
This is another overt attempt to show that Muslim culture is better than the hated USA culture. Dropping The Bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima is not something we're sorry about. Ending that war early was the right thing to do. If you ever have the opportunity to kill a couple hundred thousand people to save more than one million, don't hesitate to make the right decision.
"...we are victims of state-organized terror in many parts of the world. The fact that more than 60% of the present world refugees are Muslims verifies that."
Muslims are refugees because they are led by totalitarian despots like the late Yaser Arafat, who squandered most of the money the West gave him. Hasni Mubarak has had total control of Egypt for how long? Hamas, an organization that conducts and funds "martyrdom operations" (suicide bombings) against wholly innocent civilians, is running the Palestinian territories now. Look in the mirror, guys, to see why "more than 60% of the present world refugees are Muslims".
The article is not only a gross misrepresentation of history, it is a laughable attempt at damage control because we Americans haven't formed opinions based on "negative media images" or the likes of Pat Robertson.
Our opinions are based on the thousands upon thousands of ordinary civilians killed at the hands of Muslims in the name of their religion.

Pro-illegal alien rallies disturbing
When I see 500,000 people marching in Los Angeles, waving Mexican flags -- in support of lawbreaking -- my only response is: build the wall, militarize it, and round up every last illegal alien and uncerimoniously toss them back across the border. We'll pick our own damned lettuce.
Who do these people think they are, staging mass protests and waving a foreign flag in my country? Get the fuck out of here.
I will vote against anyone, at any level of government, who thinks it's okay for millions of illegal aliens to flood into this country every single year without so much as an ID check.
Bush has failed miserably on the illegal alien issue.

Switzerland a haven for successful Europeans
A key difference between the USA and Europe is redistribution of wealth. It happens here, but to a lesser degree than uber-socialist Europe. Overtaxing people (punishing them for being successful) makes people wonder why they should even try, when they can kick back and soak up the entitlements. (We did see the gimme-something-for-nothing mentality in New Orleans, when an entire subculture of folks choosing to rely wholly upon government for their existence suddenly went without government coddling for three days -- their lives practically ended.)
In Europe people who work hard and succeed in life must flee.
Michael Schumacher, arguably the best Formula 1 driver in history, exited Germany for Switzerland long ago. He hasn't stated publicly his reasons, but everyone knows he abandoned Germany because he didn't want his money taken from him. And why the hell should he?
The world's 4th richest man, IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad, abandoned Sweden for Switzerland 30 years ago. It wasn't for the picturesque countryside, I'll warrant. A billionaire who drives a 15-year-old Volvo and flies coach isn't likely to throw money away needlessly, which is what successful folks in Sweden are forced to do because of socialism. (Reuters story here.)
If you want to see that kind of garbage here in the USA, vote for Hillarious Clinton.

Islam: myths, misconceptions, and bald-faced lies
This week the world is inundated with news of an Afghani man who converted from Islam to Christianity. Clerics and most of the public in Afghanistan say the man should be killed for converting.
Yet, at this moment, there is a story at islamicity.com entitled "Myth of Islamic intolerance."
Here are the opening words:

Send Iraq hostages back to terrorists
Three hostages recently freed in Iraq not only issued a statement criticizing the war, they were uncooperative with intelligence officers trying to debrief them. Information could have led to the rescue of other hostages. They were too stupid to stay away from a war zone, then were completely ungrateful at having their lives saved.
Fuck them.
Put these pieces of garbage back into the hands of kidnappers. Call it a freebie.

Ask The Shaved Ape No. 1
I occasionally get highly intelligent questions from ape-like readers. Instead of answering these insightful questions in the comment section, I'll put them up here for your pleasure. (Don't mention it).
Q: Is The Shakespeare Code the same as Morse Code? --Charlie Adams
A: Chuck is referring to this post about The Da Vinci Code and author Dan Brown. No, but that's a very good guess, Chuck. The Shakespeare Code is closely related to The Crotch Code, where a contentious theory holds that Mary was really Jesus' wife, and via the French Merovingian line, Jesus' ancestors have been carefully hidden in the sweaty pubes of some plumber's crotch. They're probably looking to get out of there about now. --Don

A superior insult
Ablution has issued a scathing attack on Christina Patterson of the Independent. I lifted this from a recent post:
Ms. Patterson is the classic incarnation of the unthinking, closed-minded white wine liberal - who, while concealing her lazy, stereotyped thinking and refusal to consider unapproved viewpoints with the veneer of a decent education, oh-so-cleverness, semi-respectable vocabulary and fashionable sneering at you-know-where and you-know-who, manages in the end only to embarrass herself with the laughable inaccuracy of her confidently-stated "facts".
Cartoon row: Muslims groups to sue Danish newspaper
Overlawyered reports that 27 Muslim groups plan to sue the Danish newspaper that published cartoons of the Prophet (PBUH), and plan to report the paper to the UN Human Rights Council.
Castro and Qadaffi to the rescue!

UN of religions
An Abraham Lincoln look-alike has cooked up a fascinating scheme for a UN of religions (BBC story here). The problem is this: Islam will become China and Russia, the "church" of Scientology Germany, and Christianity the USA and Britain.
An ineffective and downright crooked United Nations deserves demolition, not emulation.

Three years without Saddam Hussein: fantastic
The three-year anniversary of kicking Saddam's pathetic ass is marked by hippies smoking doobies in parks across the globe. They sang sad songs with acoustic guitars. "Not in my name" was the most popular.
News flash! Nobody cares what hippies think about war, peace, or anything else. Just keep on tokin' and smokin', dumbasses.

French students riot to remain uncompetitive
A new jobs law allowing employers to fire workers for no reason within two years of hiring has set off riots across France. According to CNN, at least 500,000 students in Paris set fire to cars, damaged buildings, and fought with police.
Keep it up, kids! Fight to keep your ailing economy uncompetitive. We on this side of the pond like to see this kind of thing.

The Shakespeare Code
The L.A. Times, in an editorial today, appears to be standing behind Dan Brown, author of bestseller "The Da Vinci Code." Brown is in a London court, accused of copyright infringement (ideas, not direct text), by the authors of "Holy Blood, Holy Grail". The latter, published in the early 1980s, contains matter very similar to "The Da Vinci Code".
The Times: "Held to this standard, William Shakespeare, who took the plots for most of his plays from popular histories or even other fiction writers, would be condemned as a plagiarist."

Torture at Guantanamo revealed
The Daily Ablution has catalogued a detainee's list of maltreatment at GITMO:
--subject to [unspecified] "mental stress and pressure"
--"willfully misdirected ... to pray north"
--deprived of "comfort items"
--subjected to an [apparently failed] "attempt to withdraw Qur'an"
--able to hear two guards having sex, while they "assumed he was asleep"
--distracted from his prayer by the "sharp intake of breath" of a female MP who'd been "sexually fondled".
--offered a plate of pork
--the object of a conspiracy "to keep detainee ignorant of detainee's allotted Tuesday recreation"
--subjected to a "partially successful" attempt to administer injections "under the guise of immunisation", designed to "unhinge detainee's mental and emotional stability"
--had his peanut butter eaten by a guard "right in front of him"
The horror!

Isaac Hayes: stupid idiot
Hayes quits South Park because of perceived religious bigotry.
"In 10 years and over 150 episodes of South Park, Isaac never had a problem with the show making fun of Christians, Muslim, Mormons or Jews." (From BBC)
Hayes, who belongs to the "church" of Scientology, didn't consider bashing other religions to be bigoted behavior. Only his church. This is eerily similar to the frothing-at-the-mouth Muslim freaks who lost control of themselves over the Muhammed cartoons. Anti-semitic cartoons were fine with them, but you publish Muhammed, it's curtains.
A bunch of morons.

Turning water into beer
From AP; bolding mine:
OSLO, Norway - It almost seemed like a miracle to Haldis Gundersen when she turned on her kitchen faucet this weekend and found the water had turned into beer.
Two flights down, employees and customers at the Big Tower Bar were horrified when water poured out of the beer taps.
By an improbable feat of clumsy plumbing, someone at the bar in Kristiandsund, western Norway, had accidentally hooked the beer hoses to the water pipes for Gundersen's apartment.

Ads are fucking the internet
Every time I wait FOREVER for a goddamned page to load, Firefox tells me "Transferring data from abc.ads.xyz" or abc.adserv.xyz. It's always these bullshit advertising servers.
The only way to speed up this antique internet is to stop clicking on ads. Stop, Shaved Apes. No more clicking on ads. If you want to buy something on the web, proactively search out a site. Do not click on these motherfucking ads.
Since most of you stupid shitheads still click on spam, I'm probably wishing for a miracle.

From Reuters; bolding mine:
ABUJA (Reuters) - The Nigerian government, anxious to avoid a repeat of riots that marked a solar eclipse in 2001, warned citizens they may suffer "psychological discomfort" during a new eclipse this month but urged them not to panic.
Information Minister Frank Nweke said an eclipse five years ago caused riots in northern Borno state because people did not know why it happened.
"Some people even felt some evil people in their communities were responsible for the eclipse," he said in a statement on Thursday aimed at reassuring Nigerians that the eclipse is expected to darken parts of the country on March 29.

Crash wins Best Picture
"Crash" took top honors at this year's Oscars. That's just great. I watched the first ten minutes of this horrible film in the theater and walked out. I was so displeased I didn't even ask for my money back, which I usually do when I'm forced to walk out.
At least Bareback Mounting didn't get it. It's a film that appeals to approxiately 4% of the population, and yet won nearly every award possible leading up to the Oscars. Hmmmmm. Can you say, "Liberal Hollywood agenda?"
