You call this vacation? I swear I'm about to pop a cap into someone's ass.

UPDATE: Just to clarify, I'm on a working vacation. My frustration has nothing to do with people getting banned or not. I have 8 bosses all reminding me that I keep missing important publications deadlines.

Yesterday I went to my alma mater to chat with some professors. In my mind, the highlight of the day was going to be having lunch with a good friend of mine, Bill Dautierieve. Instead, the highlight of the day was visiting the bathroom, one floor down from my old office, last stall, next to the painted over window. There is something comforting about the familiar feel of porcelain, the 'grout' jokes written in pencil in the tiny space between tiles, and the tag announcing that some one from the 32nd Street Crips had shared the experience in 1999. Ah, how rare the toilet induced melancholy!

(Denver, CO) Following up on previous posts (here and here), 40-year-old Sylvia Ann Johnson was charged with sexual assault and contributing to the delinquency of a minor for hosting weekly sex-drug parties for teenage boys. In accordance with a plea agreement, she pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor sex-assault counts and nine felony counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

No sentencing date has been disclosed, but Johnson could spend 58 years in prison if the book is thrown at her. Two felony drug charges were dropped as part of the plea agreement.

To summarize, Johnson committed the crimes because she wasn't a cool kid in high school and, as a result, it seems she'll be spending a nice stretch in the cooler. How ironic.

[Update 1820 EDT] According to this report, Johnson will be sentenced on September 26. Also,

Each sexual assault count carries up to two years in jail and a fine of $5,000, and each contributing count carries up to six years in prison and a $500,000 fine, according to Pam Russell, a spokeswoman for the district attorney's office.

If you have never had an In-N-Out Double-Double, you have never lived life. If you've had an In-N-Out Burger, and didn't like it, then there is no need for me to tell you to go to hell. You're definintely heading there anyway.

From the Dayton Daily News:

City officials want the 250-pound, 6 1/2-foot, American flag-toting beaver back. They are offering a $500 reward for information leading to its recovery.

Hansley said tracking devices will be put in at least some of the remaining beavers, which includes Vincent Van Beaver, To Be or Not to Be Beaver, Golfing Beaver, Beaver Beaver, Disco Beaver and Pop Goes the Beaver.

My only thoughts are that $500 is a pricey beaver and probably worthy of a tracking device.

Started reading Blowback by Brad Thor. Thanks to the good folks over at Atria books for sending it to me here at the Shackleford summer home on the beautiful banks of the Rio de Los Angeles gratis.

Read a chapter on the treadmill. Yeah, I know, freakin pathetic.

Argued with Hugh Hewitt. He e-mailed me saying to call him back and we'll duke it out again. Nice try Hugh, there's a reason I write. He'd clean my clock in a verbal debate. Hands. Down.

You know that the college town that I live in doesn't have talk radio? Seriously. The first day in town I asked a local where I could tune into Rush Limbaugh. He said, Rush Lim-who? And I'm not even a big Rush fan, but every podunck town gets Rush, right? Hell, I spent half of me drive through Missouri trying to find an AM station that wasn't Rush Limbaugh. Much of the day found me blubbering like a baby, so overjoyed by the fact that Dennis Prager was on.

High point of the day: Fox 11 in Los Angeles plays the Simpsons twice a night. Twice! With King of the Hill wedged between the two episodes!! Lawdy, how I do miss LA.

I understand that Rep. Tom Tancredo recently said that in the case of a WMD attack against the US by al Qaeda forces we should respond by nuking mecca. Since I have not been watching much TV or reading any blogs on my vacation, let me just respond to a couple of things Hugh Hewitt said on his show today and which I just did not have time to tell him on the air. He points us to this screed by one of my heroes, Lileks, on his blog today.

He also mentioned this post by DafyDD over at Captain's Quarters. It's really a silly post. Seriously. What his post really comes down to is he thinks the case for nuking Mecca is based on hatred of Muslims, what he calls "Moslem Derangement Syndrome."

I guess those that called for nuking Moscow in case they nuked us were really victims of "Russian Derangement Syndrome"??

He makes a good point that there are many who want to see Muslims dead. This is sick, just as he suggests. But trying to argue against the MAD strategy by trying to associate it with a bunch of racists is a straw man--something I see was noticed by Pierre LeGrand. It's like arguing that the war in Iraq is wrong because it is motivated by racism. Sure, there are some racists cheering for us in Iraq, but so what? Do not ascribe others sick motives to those wishing to deter the unthinkable from happening on our soil.

The second part of his post is equally silly. Nuking Mecca would not kill 1 billion Muslims. Last time I checked Mecca was little more than a medium sized tourist town. It would kill a lot of people. But so would taking out Moscow. Yes, very vary bad thing.

Nobody advocating the MAD strategy wishes to see any one dead. That's kinda the whole point of Mutual Assured Destruction. It deters.

The case for nuking Mecca, then, is very similar to the case for nuking Moscow. It is based on the notion that rational people would not dare start a nuclear Armageddon.

The only potential flaw in the case for nuking Mecca is the underlying premise of rationality. If Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda are rational, threatening to nuke Mecca would deter them from using WMD against the United States. If Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda are not rational, then the threat would have no deterrent effect.

That is a very debatable point, and one on which honest discussions are made.

As I pointed out in my original post on nuking mecca:

Let me make a couple of points first. One: I do not advocate using nuclear weapons. Two: I do not advocate killing Muslims or any other follower of any religion. Three: I do not imagine in any way possible the US government actually doing this--or even thinking it. Four: These are rudimentary thoughts. This post is used as a sounding board only. Much of what I say may be wrong and all is subject to revision. The purpose of this post is to start a conversation.

First point: Bill's major argument about deterring terrorists is well taken and mostly on the money. I think he's right, for the most part: you cannot deter these guys, only defeat them. And if incinerating Damascus were the only threat we could use to deter terrorists then certainly a MAD scheme would not work in this new Cold War we find ourselves in.

However, Mecca is not Damascus. It plays a central role in Muslim worship. Five times a day Muslims pray toward it. All Muslims who have the means are expected to make the Hajj--a pilgrimage to Mecca which revolves around the Kaaba stone. The Kaaba stone is really the reason Mecca is considered holy. Muslims believe the site was used for worship as far back as Adam and that the shrine around the stone was first placed there by Abraham (Ibrahim). There is a 12 mile zone around the stone that infidels are restricted from entering. It's that holy. No non-Muslims near it. In fact, without Mecca and the Kaaba stone, Islam would be very different.

Mecca, then, is quite unlike any other place in the world for Muslims. It is an entire city dedicated to Muslim worship. A place set apart. A holy place. It is an entire city that is thought to be the Temple of God.

Islamist terrorists also consider Mecca the holiest place in the world. It is central to their mode of worship. They face it when they pray. They too believe they must make the hajj. If we take them at their word, then the reason they commit terrorist acts is because they take their religious convictions so seriously. When they kill us, it is because they believe that this is what their God wants them to do.

So, ask yourself the question again: Can terrorists be deterred from using WMD against American targets?

Maybe they can. If Islamic extremists really love their religious institutions in the way that they claim they do, then pointing an ICBM at Mecca may not be the most irrational thing to do. They may not care if the rest of the world goes up in a nuclear mushroom cloud, as Bill points out, but Mecca is not the rest of the world. Would they really risk blowing up New York City if they believed the consequences of such an action would be a 30 kiloton nuclear explosion over the Kaaba stone? After all, the nuclear destruction of Mecca would end Islamic forms of worship as they presently exist.

If I might misquote Sting for a moment, "Is it such a crazy thing to do, if the Terrorists love their Mecca too?"

have numerous problems with the specifics of Atkins proposal--starting with the inhumanity of killing millions of innocent people because a handful of states support Islamic terrorists--but agree that MAD could be used to deter Islamic terrorism. It seems to me that a much more reasonable form of MAD would be to limit the target list to one city, Mecca. The terrorists really don't care if we nuke the capitals of Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Syria.

UPDATE: Rob at Say Anything responds here. Let me just make a couple of observations.

Is al Qaeda full of a bunch of madmen? No. No more than, say, the Kremlin was. The ideology of the Kremlin was mad, and the worldview shaped by that ideology was mad, but it was not irrational. It had a coherent internal logic. The MAD logic does not need sanity to work, what it needs is rationality. more...

1 >>>"I guess those that called for nuking Moscow in case they nuked us were really victims of "Russian Derangement Syndrome"??" Exactly. Tancredo is right. Targeting Mecca for destruction isn't about killing muslims-- it's about saving New York. We don't want to nuke Mecca anymore than we wanted to nuke Moscow, but MADD kept both parties from doing anything stupid. There's only one thing islamic terrorists really care about and that's their holy sites. Targeting Mecca will guarantee New York's safety. This whole "moslem derangement syndrome" just shows how stupid and illogical these wannabe intellectual Libs are. We did the exact same thing to the Soviets, but these braniac Libs have already forgotten. They're OBSESSED with race.

2 Ok, back to lounging around the pool. If you're at the pool with either a double-double or a carnitas burrito at hand, I will nuke the nine-oh-nine.

3 Got news for you, an ICBM contains 10 warheads and each one is 300 Megatons a far cry from a single warhead of 30 Kilotons. And that information is all that is de-classified. For example, no one really knows how much of a punch a Trident missile fired from a US Boomer submarine can carry. I think we should put together some tests and film the thing, then broadcast it all over the Muslim world in their own language. They simply have no idea just how destructive a single warhead can be and we have thousands upon thousands of these warheads and if need be can produce as many as we want. Basically, there would a crater many miles across and perhaps as deep as 500 feet. There would be nothing left. When we stopped testing atomic weapons above ground, we continued testing for decades underground and I am sure the explosions were increased in size and magnitude. Apparently, we learned all we really needed to learn from those tests and super computers can now be effectively used to simulate atomic explosions. BTW, I heard that the US has either just started up warhead production or is planning to do so very soon. Smaller tactical nukes could prove to be rather useful to avoid killing millions in a single strike. But I don't see the point, every single time the enemy is amassed in a large enough force to be confronted by the Army or Marines, they swiftly get their butts kicked and they end up scurrying away like cockroaches. We still need to maintain MAD (mutually assured destruction) because of the Chinese and soon the North Koreans and perhaps the Iranians. Russia still has nukes and what happens if there is another collapse of government and a psychopath takes over Russia? It happened in Germany, Hitler rose up politically and simply eliminated the competition and took over.

4 You do realise that Mecca has been destroyed before right? did it stop them then? The Koran contains a prophecy that identifies the destruction of Mecca in the final days, the days when they believe all will be converted or die. Yeah, radical Muslims believing America just started the prophecy, to kill all the none believers -- let's do that.

Posted by: dave at July 21, 2005 09:22 PM (DO6vD)

5 In his recent sequels to Enders Game (The Shadow of... Series) Orson Scott Card has as part of the background that in response to nuclear terrorism Mecca has been nuked. It seems that this did have the effect of mostly eliminating Islamic terrorism, but did not eliminate Islam - instead it was said that the blasts had vaporized the Kaaba, sending it's atoms into the atmosphere where they dispersed across the entire earth, spreading a blessing. Interestingly, he posits that in order for Islam to reform, the central tenet that must be challenged is that apostasy is punishable by death - that until there can be ex-muslims, all other changes are cosmetic.

Posted by: Eric J at July 21, 2005 09:42 PM (5PRM2)

6 Rusty: I have two commentaries on the issue of Mecca and nukes on my site as well as on Moonbat Central. I would not make Mecca's Grand Mosque the target per se, but there are a host of targets in Mecca that should be taken down with conventional weapons in the aftermath of an Islamist WMD strike on the USA. What we're witnessing here is a meltdown among pretend "conservatives" that are in reality moderates who yearn for MSM acceptance, salaries, and access to the "cool" crowd in Dc and NYC.

Posted by: Michael Calderon at July 21, 2005 10:03 PM (x6TjU)

7 You don't have to necessarily nuke Mecca to deface it. Just air-dropping a bunch of infidels, oh say a few thousand heavily armed infidels, should get the same effect. They would see it as poisoning the hallowed ground. That would sure get them in a snit. And Lileks certainly has a point here: But do we really want to incinerate Tehran? You'll probably find more people in Tehran who dearly love America than you'll find in Berkeley. How true!

Posted by: Oyster at July 22, 2005 06:49 AM (YudAC)

8 I think that the target of a MAD strategy is NOT Al Qeada. I may not work on them as planed, i.e. thay may actually welcome it. The target of a MAD strategy should be the root cause of the Islamofacist philosophy, namely The Magic Kingdom. A clear announcement that Saudi Arabia (including Meccah) would suffer the response would cause the Saudis to rethink that whole "incitment to terror" policy they have been following for many years.

Posted by: Sinner at July 22, 2005 08:17 AM (f3h4P)

9 Hmm. Here's an alternate retaliation strategy: Bomb the hell out of every military installation in Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran and maybe Egypt. At the same time, explode a nuclear device somewhere in the middle of the Sahara. Message: We can do more damage with conventional weapons than you can do with nukes. And this is what we could do if we decided to use nukes.

Posted by: Eric J at July 22, 2005 08:28 AM (hrQvk)

10 MAD won't work because they aren't rational from a normal point of view. They probably think Mecca is untouchouble, magically protected by the holy mudmaster Alluhah himself. If they got over nukes no doubt they'd used them, but that time everybody in the US would be so pissed that nuking mecca and invading Saudi Arabia would make very much sence. Nobody would care what the Muslims would think, in fact they'd be persecuted indiscriminately. War would be proclaimed on Islam.

12 Islam is in the heart, it is preserved in the heart. It will stay there till the day a muslim dies. The day America or anyone else bombs Mecca is the day muslims go to war against them. You can't even handle one Bin Laden, how can you handle billions of muslims...

Posted by: Khan at August 05, 2005 06:59 PM (lujqP)

13 The argument is basically flawed. If you notice Muslims pray facing the Qibla, they dont actually see it! IF its nuked they'll still face the same qibla (its not like geographically the qibla location will change!). So nuking mecca will basically turn lots of muslims in america turn against america, and lots of moderate americans against the government. Oh not to mention, the communists chinese and other smaller countries. So lets see.. you dont get any oil, everyone's against everyone else. The entire economic system breaks down! There is a global war.. and well it'll be fought on ur streets.. one day ur kid goes out playing and someone kills him (coz ur army killed his kid!)... and the war will be in ur living room. I do not think its a geat idea to think what you are thinking. In fact it's based upon your own biased facts... did u go to college btw? to have any idea about world cultures, religions etc doesn't sound like it at all..

London Mayor Ken Livingstone.

"Livingstone, who earned the nickname "Red Ken" for his left-wing views, won widespread praise for a defiant response which helped unite London after the bombings. But he has revived his reputation for courting controversy in recent days".

Drug companies I saw a commercial for Humira on TV. You can slow your arthritis but at what cost. Just read the side effects that include lymphoma. Yes always wanted to trade my joint pain for a good old case of lymphoma.

(North Union Township, Pennsylvania) A local youth baseball coach was arrested and charged with bribing one of his boys to intentionally throw at an autistic player.

From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

Eric Forsythe, who heads the R.W. Clark Youth Baseball League in North Union Township, said he was shocked when Mark Downs Jr., 27, of Dunbar was charged last Friday with bribing player Keith Reese, 7, with $25 to hit teammate Harry Bowers Jr., 9, in the face with a baseball to keep him from playing.

When hitting Bowers in the ear with a ball didn't keep him off the field, he intentionally hit him in the groin with another throw, state police charged.

If the allegations prove true, Downs obviously doesn't possess the moral and ethical qualities suited for leading youngsters and it's beyond me what he could have been thinking.

Boost to ego from mention on CNN--ten points on the John Edward's self-love scale.

Boost to traffic from mention on CNN--Zilcho on the Sitemeter scale.

I hear that The Jawa Report got a full minute of coverage from CNN's Inside Blogs today for this post. If any one taped it I'd sure love to see a copy. Even if you just saw it let me know what was said. I'd really like to know if "The Jawa Report" was said with a straight face. Take that Llamas and Cranky Neocon punks from Reseda!

UPDATE: Found the video over at DEMbloggers. Go check it out. I've also got a few still images below. Jacki Shechner actually utters the words "Jawa Report" on air. Unfortunately she's off camera so we can't tell if she keeps a straight face or not.

Why did we make CNN? Because I took the contrarian view that Karl Rove should be fired. They say my thoughts are more typical of the left-leaning blogospher than the right. Of course, the leftosphere wants Rove to resign cause they think he's a felon (or worse), I want him to resign because I don't think we need a scandal to distract us from the more important job of killing Islamofascist terrorist.

Isn't that just like CNN to find a pro-Bush site and then to run a post critical of the administration? Not that I'm looking a gift-horse in the mouth--forgive me oh great Overlord Ted Turner for my gainsaying! We worship you and your partners at Time-Warner, Inc and pledge obedience to the Fonda goddess!!

Also mentioned by CNN:

Steve Taylor called a 'bigger blogger' by CNN [APSA insiders note to Joyner, Steve and Stotch: no giggling out loud] for an unrelated post and because Toner Mishap complains that Taylor needed more cowbell at his blog. Did I say cowbell? I meant Plame.
Just One Minute defends Rove on legalistic grounds
Fishkite mentioned because he saved Wilson's bio which names Plame
Louise Slaughter, not really a blog.
TPM Cafe has former McCain advisor who says Rove won't go.
Fishbowl was at the press conference today, and the CNN report indicates that the press may have been so hard on McClellen because the leftardosphere had been giving them heat.

UPDATE II: Thanks for all the well wishes. I do read the comments and follow trackback links, even if I do not always leave a comment. Oh, and some guy named "Eric" who I've never heard of and claims some sort of 'blog-son' relationship to me sends me a link to the transcript.

JACKI SCHECHNER, CNN BLOG REPORTER: Well, John, we tried really hard to find some people who weren't talking about Karl Rove, and the only other person they seem to be talking about was Scott McClellan, and that was because he won't talk about Karl Rove.

We found an interesting post today at the The Jawa Report. This is mypetjawa.mu.nu. Now, this is a right-leaning blog, but they're saying something that we're hearing from the left, and that's that President Bush should fire Karl Rove. Why, they say? Because he's creating a political scandal, that he voted for President Bush, not Karl Rove. Get rid of him. This is not what we need in a time of war.

ABBI TATTON, POLITICAL PRODUCER: And that's, yes, not typical from the right, but something we're certainly seeing on the left in the blogs and in the halls of Congress, and congresspeople with their blogs as well joining on this one.
