I'm flying down to the Katrina disaster zone today to see what little help I can offer. It's the least I can do after I was such an arrogant prick about it. I regret those words. There was no bigger news than Katrina that week or since. I'll be back Monday.

5 Way to go Rusty! You're doing what many of us wish we could do. As an added bonus... Right now, as I type this, an indignant liberal is exploding due to the dissonance of him caring about people and doing nothing while you, a hatemonger actually do some good.

Yes my company is having an open house this week. We are all supposed to remove any and all traces of personality from our work area. You know make it look just so. The man has sent down orders that all goofy stuff is to come down. My Aussie cube mate and I have formed a rebellion against this evil. For where ever there is a cube we fight for freedom.

Aussie refuses to take down his love monkey.

Howie refuses to take down the Tower of Stupidity.

.Will it last? Who will win this war of personality? We face a long struggle against a powerful enemy. Here is some background on the tower of stupidity. ItÂ’s my little 9/11 memorial and also a fun way to have a flag stick up over my cube. On 9/12 we came to work and every cube had a little flag on it. See the small flag on the left hand side itÂ’s an original 9/12 toothpick flag. Worked a couple weekends after that and built the tower from happy meals via my bosses daughters. ItÂ’s been standing nearly four years and it will be standing longer. Should Aussie dude and I loose this battle rest assured that as soon as the tourists are gone both the tower and the crimson love monkey will return to their rightful place in our cubes along with my hot Marge Simpson poster. Also for those of you who care Howie did start up that new batch of fine wine this week. Due date on the booze is 10/31. The love monkey was a gift from Aussie's new bride.

Updated: Guess who's coming to the open house Ernie Fletcher. No comment. Well maybe below the break.

One of the greats has hung up his hat. Arthur Chrenkoff, the man who brought us his weekly 'Good News From Iraq' has called it quits. God speed. Good News From the Front will now fill the much needed niche.

Hat tip: California Conservative.

Update: I second Rusty's well-expressed sentiments. Aurthur's contribution has been both an inspiration and an example, and we hope his future is bright. See his Finale on Winds of Change. (Probably duplicates the material on Rusty's link, above.)

This is one of the true mysteries of the Internet. Why in the world would they post this on the Huffington Post? It just rattles the foundations... I'd actually post the article, but it's more than a tad offensive, in a "That's no lady; that's my sister!" sort of way.

It seems lately that I just can't catch a break. Minor bout with the flu last month now the mother of all colds has me feelling down. Several other things not going my way either. Rep says field x is fouled up. Hey that's what you said to put there so I did. Stop whining before I ship you a snotrag via interoffice mail. We've got hurricane Katrina giving everyone an excuse to slam the Government. It was a freaking hurricane dumbasses. Blame the storm. OK lets see what has more power Government VS Nature. Uh duh I'll let you figure that one out yourself. Now to top it all off my hero Bob Denver has passed away. Yes while me Mum finished out college I stayed with the grandparents. I have an aunte that is only about 7 years older. We fought over Dinah Shore VS Gilligan every day. Grandma always let me watch Gilligan much to my Aunt's dismay. Howie lives so far and I'll not give in but may be a bit scarce for a few days. Best to save the blogging until I can think. You know, the nice thing about a run of bad luck is it will eventually end.

Congrats to Mark on the new grandbaby.

See this cool post on Califonia conservative.

Yes I've seen that happen before. But see Sean if yer boat is not so full of reporters you can open that sucker up and the water will drain out the plug hole and then you stick the plug in there no bailing required. River rat experience teaches many things.

Malcontent goes off on Author Marc Siegel

Author Marc Siegel was on "The Daily Show" last night, flogging his book False Alarm: The Truth About the Epidemic of Fear. I have not yet read the book, but his interview with Jon Stewart was troubling, to say the least.

Is the MSM out to wreck The Jawa Report? Yes. Er, at least that's what the CIA is beaming into my head through this uncomfortable tin-foil helmut as we speak. As you know, The Jawa Report is back in the Google News business. Just when I was trying to kiss and make up with the great provider of eyeballs, Pixy Misa of Ambient Irony sends me this Scotsman article:

Like many web users, I admire their anti-corporate approach and their pledges not to be evil. But now, some people are beginning to question if this terribly successful company might not be the new Microsoft. (For those of you you not au fait with these matters, there is a certain online consituency who view "Micro$oft" as the root of many of the world's evils)....

A site that does not have any Goodle ads on it is MyPetJawa.mu.nu. Referring to Revelation 13:16, it suggests that Google is the antichrist.

So much for "Don't be evil."

Paranthetically I do have Google ads. I just love the irony in this site making money from ads from MAS, CAIR, and various Muslim Singles groups.

So, maybe it's me that's evil? After all, I didn't spend 6 years in evil graduate school just to be called Mr. Rusty Shackleford.

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth.

Woo-Hoo!

Good news! Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue today announced that, effective at midnight tonight and running until the end of September, no state gasoline taxes will be collected. Perdue expects stations to drop their prices up to 15 cents per gallon within hours. Those stations that don't pass on the savings to consumers will be singled out for investigations by the Department of Revenue and Office of Consumer Affairs.

I suppose it's not necessary to mention that Gov. Perdue is running for re-election next year and he timed his announcement to run live on Georgia TV news broadcasts. It's also probably not necessary to mention that the suspension in tax collection is more a political play than an economic benefit.

Hey, but it's better than nothing.

I'm at a conference in Washington, D.C. Sorry if I can't respond to all comments or e-mails right now because of limited access. I do have internet access, but Professor Chaos's pad is so dungeon-like as to make any one want to spend as little time as possible in it. This apartment goes a long way in explainsg Chaos's long track record of striking out with his dates.

Thanks for your patience.

UPDATE: Chaos assures me that there are many more deep seeded pathologies that explain his relationship problems.

5 It's a shame to have to work in an environment so hostile you have to remain anonymous. Where I work the worst case scenario is that I have to use monosyllabic words and speak very slowly - and even then I have to repeat myself two or three times. And you ARE a handsome devil. ;-)

As a tribute to the fine arguments of the left I have come up with the real scapegoats for 9-11/GWOT and because IÂ’m a little nuts. Enjoy.

Once upon a time there was and Attorney General Named Reno. One day she called up the news and said, "Hey everyone get to Waco, going to be a big show for you". Well the show kind of didnÂ’t go well. So Janet made up lies about what was going on inside. This led to the storming of the compound and barbecued babies. This led to the Oklahoma City bombings more death and dead babies. The MSM and Janet and Bill all had a good time watching their handy work on the TEEVEE along with the Islamists who were inspired by all this. Osama then thought, "Hey letÂ’s bomb America too", and they did. So as you can clearly see the blame for Waco, the Oklahoma city bombing, 9/11, the 1993 WTC bombing, the USS Cole bombing, The London Bombings so on and so forth are all directly caused by Janet Reno and Bill Clinton For appointing her. There Cindy put than in your pipe and smoke it.

Capitalism gone mad.

Ok I like John Wayne. Yes he’s rough he’s tough and he don’t take no shit from nobody. But that’s really not the qualities I’m looking for in the restroom. I’m not sure how much more of a dividend my company can pay with this new “John Wayne Paper” but won’t that be offset by efficiency loss due to “uncomfortable” employees? Are corn cobs the next logical step to improve profitability?
