OK so blogging is fun but Bass Fishin with my new fishin buddy Sam, now that's good living!

Hat Tip: Mark

Don't I wish that was my fishin buddy? Nope plenty of work to go around here. I have however saved up quite a few links for you guys.

Bill Kristol makes a lot of sense he upset the left this week with this.

The Weekly Standard: No reasonable American, no decent human being, wants to send up a white flag in the war on terror. But leading spokesmen for American liberalism-hostile beyond reason to the Bush administration, and ready to believe the worst about American public servants-seem to have concluded that the terror threat is mostly imaginary. It is the threat to civil liberties from George W. Bush that is the real danger.

Huh they must have been so upset because he was right. Here let me help you.

Washington Times:I think when you suggest that civil liberties are just as much at risk today as the country is from terrorism, you've gone too far if you leave that impression. I don't believe that's true," said Michael O'Hanlon, a national-security analyst at the Brookings Institution who advises Democrats on defense issues.

Hmm right again. Does the left ever listen to their own good advice?

I'll make the rest of these short and sweet but that does not mean you don't have to read them. Now hop to it.

Al-Qaeda in Gaza.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't so which is it. Are we being over protected of under.

Totten Tours Libya. Just read it.

8 lives left.

Good day Captain.

Oh yeah and yeserday I got a belated gift of twelve months of National Geographic. I've not had a subscription for years but it's still the same and the photos are fantastic as usual. I'll finish reading it and see what interesting tidbits of useful info I can get. Subjects this month include various episodes of genocide and Iraqi Kurdistan. Thanks to my Mom who knows I can't resist reading.

Right Wing Sparkle gives us a link to her take on the Kurd article which I read last night.

One of the problems with being a redneck in the middle of the country is when you go south you are still a damn yankee. You go north and you are a hayseed. Some notherner (I mean way north) sent me this as a birthday card.

Also Filthy seems to be in kind of a tussle with this guy whos email is ehsam_786@hotmail.com.

The Filthy One (er uh the reply to Mr. Allah) : santa got me ur great granny he dug her out of the grave so i cud rape da slag wat did he get u a dik so u can suk on it piss off nw dnt email me i hope ur family dies

OK so his English is a bit sucky but since he does not want Filthy to email him any more let's do help him out.

Happy winter solstice!!!!!

Reward for Little Bear. Parents around the globe cringe in terror as toddlers run to the TV with this tape or DVD. Therefore he must be “taken Care of”. My son played this tape at least 10,000 times. Amazing how little ones can watch the same tape over and over. Now I’m permanently damaged. I keep hearing “Happy Winter Solstice” and “Papa bear loves winter” over and over. My conclusion, I would pay 100 bucks for little bear’s pelt or it would make a splendid Christmas Gift the pelt that is.

It's the Christmas season, a time for joy, frivolity, and gift giving.

In that spirit, let's all enjoy a little gratuitous cleavage, shall we?

Q: "Hey Vinnie, why you posting so much all the sudden?"

A: "Good question, I just found this new toy called Performancing for Firefox 1.5, and I'm playing with it."

Q: "Another quick question if I may, why are you sitting in front of a computer Performancing while your wife plays with toys in the bedroom?"

A: ...

A: ...

A: "I highly recommend Performancing to my kin in the Sandcrawler. Wait for me, honey!"

Rusty Shackleford will be heading to Birmingham, AL tomorrow evening to spend his birthday in a strange town without the family. If anybody wants to take pity on me and show me the town, just drop an e-mail and I'll try and write back from the hotel sometime in the early evening. (Which reminds me,it's Professor Chaos's birthday tomorrow too. Happy b-day man.)

After that it's time for my annual upstream migration to the pond that spawned me, Los Angeles, for the holidays. Again, e-mail if you want to hang and we can work schedules out.

I'll also be in Atlanta, GA on Jan 5th and 6th. Then Chicago in April. Then London in May......The Jawapalooza Tour: Coming to a city near you!

First we have Walter McCommon Jr. who is common trash. When he gets to the state pen I hope he has a nice long career as someoneÂ’s beotch. Old Walt just could not let go of his latest love. He loved her so much in fact that he beat her for three days for wanting to go home.

WTVW:Attendants at Palmer`s Market say the woman was badly beaten, and extremely grateful to be free. She told them that she had been driven around for several days and beaten, and did not know where she was. Police say she is from Columbia, Mississippi, and had been dating McCommon. They say he became enraged when she told him she wanted to move home.

Next we have trashy trash collector John D. Maxey who helped make ends meet with taxpayer funds.

WTVW:Now the former Solid Waste District Manager has to repay more then $13,000 he took from his department. John D. Maxey pled guilty to one count of theft and told the court that he stole $13,580 while running the Solid Waste District

Move him to the sewage plant firing is too good for him. Make him play with poop all day. Uh, John poop pipe #7 is clogged again.

But the trashiest man this week is not white. In fact he is a powerful idiot. I would imagine it is embarrassing for the people of Iran to have such an asshole leading the country, making and ass of himself in restaurants and in front of other civilized nations with his daily blabber. He could at least trim his beard not and then or maybe bathe on Wednesday. What really drives it home is he does not learn. He just keeps repeating the same stupid stuff. If this guy is not the next Hitler wannabe you can kiss my smelly white ass. Hopes this guy can be bargained with are misplaced. See you have to be able to understand the bargain. This guy may require a slap up side the head very soon.

Finals start this week. As the ancient Zen proverb goes, "If you understand, things are just as they are; if you do not understand, things are just as they are." Blogging will be light.

If Drew Barrymore poohs in the woods, and there is nobody around to smell it, does it still make her career irrelevant and her onscreen personnae annoying? John Hawkins has the answer to this and more in the 40 most obnoxious quotes of 2005. The closer you get to #1 the less the quotes seem obnoxious and the more they seem treasonous.

I just received the following letter from the President of Blogniscient explaining how The Jawa Report became the Top Conservative Blog for a day. Those interested in the methodology of ranking blogs might be interested in how Blogniscient differs from other ranking systems. more...

OK links are piling up on me so my apologies for the slow response.

Check out Vonski today. He vows to do a weekly roundup of positive news from the GWOT every Friday. Here is last weeks installment in case you missed it. IÂ’ll link todayÂ’s post when he gets to it.

OK he got to it.

Yes more fun and games at(Begin fun and games section) The Right Place.

At a press conference in New York City late yesterday afternoon, ACLU Spokesperson Ebenezer G. Rinch announced that the organization was filing a petition with the FCC seeking the immediate forfeiture of the broadcasting license of any radio station in the country that plays even "a single note of any song that mentions or even alludes to Christ, Christmas or any other religious icon, including Santa Claus, who is, in reality, the representation of a Christian Saint - Saint Nicholas."

As a follow up to the destruction of Christmas the AFA sends me this.(begin not fun and games section... OK this is not the fun and games part but AFA noted my post the other day so I'll humor them one last time for my favorite aunt OK, OK)

In Dodgeville, Wisconsin, Ridgeway Elementary School's "winter program" has changed the name of "Silent Night" to "Cold in the Night." Sung to the tune of "Silent Night," the lyrics include: "Cold in the night, no one in sight, winter winds whirl and bite, how I wish I were happy and warm, safe with my family out of the storm." The "winter program" included decorating classrooms with Santa Claus, Kwanza symbols, Menorahs, and Labafana--a Christmas witch!

Hey I can support that although IÂ’m not really into the Ford boycott sorry. Besides I drive GM anyway.(end not fun and games section)

Speaking of witches hereÂ’s one.

IÂ’ve added Glen to My Yahoo and I hope Rusty donÂ’t mind.

Good Dog

Iran's new President is kinda nutty don't you think?

I've heard of Spy vs. Spy but Jew vs. Jew?.

Stop screwing around with my Pop Tarts!! They have gone too far this time!

Pretty much funny as hell.

A Filthy Friday link for Mr. Allah. Be careful I have post filthy images traumatic stress syndrome!!

Last day in class today. Finals start next week. No time to read other blogs or much news today. If you want me to link one of your posts, please e-mail me and I'll add it to this one. Also, if you hear any words on hostages please e-mail me by clicking on contact link above.

The Washington Post says the U.S. military is probing a video that surfaced on the internet and purports to show indiscriminate weapons fire by private contractors directed at Iraqi civilians. MORE HERE. Of course, the context the MSM doesn't report on is that these vehicles have enormous signs on them warning other vehicles to stay back or they will be fired on. Still, the video does not look good and I applaud the military for looking into the matter.

Thank a soldier week starts on Dec. 19th. Get busy by going here and supporting our troops.

12 Days of Christmas presented by Cranky Neocon. Send this to your liberal buddies. Tons of great gift ideas for them.

UPDATE I: We've posted on this before, but it sooo cool. A guy, a blog, and his quest for a personal Navy. It's also a good cause. Phin has more here as does Confederate Yankee.

UPDATE II: Cop gets caught stealing evidence. Evidence just happens to be the victim's skull. Hilarity ensues.

UPDATE III: Pat Oliphant, asshat.

UPDATE IV: Krauthammer and Astute Blogger--both brilliant.

The Jawa Report needs your help. Please go to HERE NOW and vote for Vince Aut Morire. You can vote once a day, so go back tomorrow.

I can't believe that other guy, who PUBLICLY delinked The Jawa, is winning! Here's a guy who claims to be classy and yet does the most unclassy thing a blogger can do. If you're going to take someone off your blogroll you should do so quietly.

I don't care if The Jawa wins our category because, frankly, I don't think we are the best conservative blog out there. However, I DO CARE if he wins. Besides, Vince Aut Morire is written by our own Mad Dog Vinnie! And I swear to Muhammed and his 72 virgins that if he wins then I will forever quit blogging!*

YIPES! from Vinnie Thank you Rusty, and thanks to all of you voting. However, Armies of Liberation (Jane) and Interested Participant (Mike Pechar) both post here as well, and our combined votes give the Jawa Report a comfortable lead.

So, in the interests of fairness, I will ask that you also vote for that other, classy blogger, in this category. Yanno, just to give 'em a fightin' chance.

I had never heard of Blogniscient until I noticed a lot of referrals coming from them a couple of weeks ago. From time to time we at The Jawa Report do actual first-hand 'news', and these posts (or are they 'articles' when they're 'news'?) generate a lot of links. Unfortunately, most of the 'news' we bring is bad, and, unfortunately, in the last week or so there has been a lot of bad news of the kind we primarily cover.

So, it wasn't surprising to see that Blogniscient ranked several of our posts in the last few weeks as their 'Top Blog Article'. After all, we've had that distinction over at NZ Bear's TTLB dozens of times.

But 'Top Blog'? That's a stretch, isn't it? Well, not according to Blogniscient which ranks The Jawa Report 4th on their 'Top Blog' page. Only left-of-center blogs are ranked higher. And if you look at their 'Top Conservative Blogs' page you see something fascinating if not completely and utterly wrong: The Jawa Report is ranked the #1 conservative blog!! more...

Left these out of my earlier post. My bad.

The Cotillion, for Best Group Blog (all female, all group, trust me, vote for them, they love you long time. They should consider changing the name to Hot Lesbo Star Wars Chicks though. Oh wait, that's taken)

And, defeating my own purpose, I'll be throwing a vote (when my 24 hours are up) to fellow Jawa Interested Participant.

Come to think of it, isn't it time we nominated the good Mr. Pechar for a munu blog?

Despite rumors, started by Hugh Hewitt, of being picked in the fourth round by ABC News, Rusty Shackleford has opted to sit out a year and then enter the MSM as a free-agent. Fourth round? Who do you think I am, Wonkette!?!?!

See-Dub offers some more suggestions here.

Speaking of bloggy goodness, John Hawkins of Right Wing News has the annual warbloggers awards up. I'm pretty dissappointed at not being named 'Most Annoying Right-of-Center Blogger'. Personally, I think Andrew Sullivan is less annoying than he is predictable and trite. But that's just me.

Ever want to know what Rusty Shackleford looks like? The Commissar has made a RINO map with yours truly prominently featured as the left leg. And yes, I can occasionally tell my left from my right.

Confederate Yankee pimps the world's largest gun-porn.

The Autonomist has more on that jackarse John Murtha (D-France).

Last, Glenn Greenwald, of Unclaimed Territory, on Oliver Willis and Kevin Drum crying racist.

First off, here's the graphic for Rusty to put in the sidebar, if he's so inclined:

And now, Vinnie's voting guide to the 2005 Weblog Awards:

The Jawa Report for Best Conservative Blog (duh!)

Vince Aut Morire for Best of the 501-1000 Ecosystem Rankings (double duh! and may I note that before I moved to mu.nu, I WAS in the 200's)

Armies of Liberation, also for Best of the 501-1000 Ecosystem Rankings. (I admire Jane's work so much, I'll be voting for her too)

Merri Musings for Best New Blog (triple duh! She's my wife, if I don't vote for her, I ain't gettin' any)

My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy for Best of the Top 250 Ecosystem Rankings (unfortunately, Wizbang turned down my request for Best Link Pimp)

Six Meat Buffet for Best Humor/Comics Blog (bastard)

The Llamabutchers for Best Culture/Gossip Blog (huh? Since when did they get culture?)

Michael Yon for Best Media/Journalist Blog (no comment necessary)

Iraq the Model for Best Middle Eastern/Africa Blog

Free Thoughts for Best European Non UK Blog

Those are my hard votes. Nothing or no one will dissuade me from them.

The rest of the finalists, however, are more than welcome to suck up to me either in the comments or at vinceautmorire@gmail.com.

Good luck and let the (friendly!) blog wars begin!

One last thing. Two extremely good blogs did not make it into the finalists. You should be reading them anyway.

Clarity And Resolve

Something...and Half of Something

(sooper sekrit note to Rusty, yes, this is a shameless blogroll request for these two. You owe me for the award I gave you last year. Heh.)

(ps to the sooper sekrit note. Da Wife would like to be there too, which is to your advantage. I have cleavage pics to trade)

It seems this guy here(don’t bother)Well he seems to think he’s on to a trend and uses Howie here as an example of a person who expresses a “highly unfavorable negative opinion” of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi. Ok I admit it I have a highly unfavorable negative opinion of terrorists. I especially harbor a highly unfavorable negative opinion of those who’s highly unfavorable negative opinion of me is so strong they want to blow me up or saw off my head. So in order to lift myself out the category of those who use highly unfavorable negative opinion speech I submit the following to his little word counter bot. more...

Scott Baio's #1 fan and blog-son of The Jawa Report, Filthy Allah, finally makes the big Time. No, I mean that literally. He got a mention in Time magazine. And this actually made it to their print version. Yeah, I thought they had standards too. Apparently not!
