Irish Prison Reform

With worldwide attention being directed toward the prison at Guantanamo Bay, the hardships endured by prisoners in other countries are ignored. Take for example the reforms currently underway in Ireland which are destined to increase prisoner punishment.

From News.com.au:

PRISONERS in Irish jails will no longer be permitted to hire servants or order in private supplies of food and alcohol under new draft rules published today by the justice ministry.
[ ... ]
The new rules will remove outdated references to penal servitude and imprisonment with hard labour.
On the flip-side, for those on the inside at least, a provision that prisoners can use private furniture and bedding and employ an assistant to perform housekeeping tasks is also going.
They will also no longer be permitted to order in private food or alcoholic drinks.
Regulations governing prison life, such as accommodation, visiting rights, discipline, health and education, have been revamped. In addition, compulsory drug tests will be allowed.

Think about it. No pizza, no beer, and no chambermaid -- it's inhumane! It's barbaric! Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, where are you?

Going on Vacation With Feisty Republican Whore

Your host, Sith Master and Ph.D. of Funkology Dr. Rusty Shackleford, is going on vacation once again. This time it's a working vacation. So, I'll be here, but I just won't be here--if you get my drift.

So, I won't be able to surf around for the latest headlines and see what other bloggers are up to for the next month or so. If you see something interesting in the news, have a question, or maybe a post you want plugged just e-mail me and I'll throw something up quick. Otherwise I leave the keys to the kingdom in the competent hands of Howie, See-Dub, Mike, Chris, and Traderrob to keep you entertained.

In the meantime, I'll be preoccupied with newest sensation in the blogosphere Feisty Republican Whore who has me on 'her' People I'd like to do list.......let's just hope that when we hook up she doesn't turn out to be another Hot Abercrombie 'Chick' or Libertarian 'Girl'! Trust me, that was embarrassing.

Jack Kilby 1923 -2005

(Dallas, Texas) Born in Great Bend, Kansas, in 1923, Jack St. Clair Kilby was an engineer, scientist, and inventor. For many years, he worked for Texas Instruments and, in 1959, he patented an integrated circuit device made with germanium. His legacy is the explosion in Information Technology we now enjoy. Yesterday, Texas Instruments CEO Tom Engibous said,

"In my opinion, there are only a handful of people whose works have truly transformed the world and the way we live in it - Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, the Wright Brothers and Jack Kilby."
"If there was ever a seminal invention that transformed not only our industry but our world, it was Jack's invention of the first integrated circuit."

For his creation, Kilby was deservedly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2000.

Jack Kilby died Monday at his home in Dallas. He was 81.

6 Courtesy of Bush.. Iraqi rebels refine bomb skills From David S Cloud The New York Times ,Washington: It is believed that experts in the former Iraqi army and rocket scientists are involved in the making of the explosive devices. American casualties from bomb attacks in Iraq have reached new heights in the last two months as insurgents have begun to deploy devices that leave armored vehicles increasingly vulnerable, according to military records. Last month there were about 700 attacks against American forces using so-called improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, the highest number since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, according to the American military command in Iraq and a senior Pentagon military official. Attacks on Iraqis also reached unprecedented levels, Lt Gen John Vines, a senior American ground commander in Iraq, told reporters on Tuesday. The surge in attacks, the officials say, has coincided with the appearance of significant advancements in bomb design, including the use of "shaped" charges that concentrate the blast and give it a better chance of penetrating armoured vehicles, causing higher casualties. infrared lasers Another change, a senior military officer said, has been the detonation of explosives by infrared lasers, an innovation aimed at bypassing electronic jammers used to block radio-wave detonators. In a sign of heightened American concern, the Army convened a conference last week at Fort Irwin, in the California desert, where engineers, contractors and senior officers grappled with the problems posed by the new bombs. At a briefing on Tuesday for reporters at the Pentagon, General Vines, who spoke by telephone from Iraq, said that the insurgents' tactics "have become more sophisticated in some cases," and that they were probably drawing on bomb-making experts from outside Iraq and from the old Iraqi army. A senior Marine officer with access to classified reports from the field said that the vehicles involved in at least two fatal attacks were armoured Humvees but that the bombs "were so big that there was little left of the Humvees that were hit." Insurgents have long been able to build bombs powerful enough to penetrate some armoured vehicles. But the use of "shaped" charges could raise the threat considerably, military officials said. The shaped charge explosion fires a projectile "at a very rapid rate, sufficient to penetrate certain levels of armour," Lt Gen James T Conway, the director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said. A Pentagon official involved in combating the devices said shaped charges seen so far appeared crude but required considerable expertise, suggesting insurgents were able to draw on well-trained bomb-makers, possibly even rocket scientists from the former government. Shaped charges and rocket engines are similar, the official said. Infrared detonators are an advance over the more common method of rigging bombs to explode after an insurgent nearby presses a button on a cell phone, a garage-door opener or other device that gives off an electric signal. That approach is vulnerable to jammers, however, and a shift to infrared detonators, which rely on light waves, underscores the insurgents' resourcefulness.

11 I saw that reported on the news a few hrs. ago, and I'm soooo glad you bought it up. Why? Because the next time you hear the ilkes of John Kerry say they "have a plan" for reproducing the economic windfall that was the result of a G-d given gift, through the agency of single individual over whom the government had (thank G-d) no control, say to yourselves, "Yeah, Right!" And what's more, none of our nation's economic mega-successes have ever been due to conscious govt., bureaucratic meddling. In fact, from the history I've learned, whenever our economy has boomed, it has been in spite of, rather than because of politicians. If anything justifies the Republican claim that the economy is better off in the hands of business than those of the government, I think the consequences of Jack Kilby's work is it. And what on earth does that have to do with all the childishly ignorant propaganda posted above about Iraq, except that those lies, too, are fostered by the leftmost end of the political spectrum, as represented by the socialist bloviaters of the demoncratic 'Party Of The Terribly Irrational & Irrelevant' (that's POTTII, for short)? But, since you've brought it up, you might as well know who the terrorists really are, and how they are all connected. Here is a Muslim website that shows, in excruciating detail, how Bin Laden and Saddam ARE linked to each other, to the Nazis, and to nearly all other Islamic terrorists in the world. www.tellthechildrenthetruth.com/index.htm They are all one big unhappy islamofascist family, and if you can't figure out why we are fighting these monsters after reading that, you might just be one of them. NOTE: The few articles that I've read on this site have been pretty good. I hope the writers soon acquire a more appreciative readership than they appear to have, based on the buckets of drivel I've seen in the comments sections of those articles.

16 BLSD, I have to admit, the more I see, the more I realize that Bush is not to be blamed for anything. If you wish to express your anger, you should aim it at the correct person. Even though some ventriloquist dummy can seem to make you terribly upset, in reality it is the ventriloquist who is doing it. So donÂ’t blame Bush when Chenney pulls his strings. But I will also admit that the war in Iraq was justified. Not because of the WMD, but Saddam did repeatedly disobey the UN, and he torture and killed people. The only thing I dislike that Bush, oh I mean Chenney, did wrong with the war is he jump the damn gun. Instead of going for a quick KO punch with tomahawks, we should of waited. We needed more troops initially to help prevent the looting and chaos that was going to happen after the invasion. We need more troops to patrol the borders to prevent asshole terrorist from coming in. We need more troops to train the Iraqis faster and better. My opinion is we are now suffering from that because now have a fear of the thugs, because they had to live with them until recently. Some still do. If we could of protected the average Iraqis at the beginning, they would be more forth coming with information. That is my opinion. One last thing, since most people on this blog does not like you sign in, I came up with two that you can use if you want. Chenney pulls Â– Bush Dances or Bush as Boss Â– Jobs are lost.

When The Mind Goes Blank

From SouthCoastToday:

New research indicates parts of the brain that govern fear and anxiety are switched off when a woman is having an orgasm but remain active if she is faking.
In the first study to map brain function during orgasm, scientists from the Netherlands also found that as a woman climaxes, an area of the brain governing emotional control is largely deactivated.

This explains the bumping-into-walls behavior that I've repeatedly seen over the years. I always thought it was just something quirky and unexplainable.

What, Me Jealous?

Austin Bay:

We picked up GEN John Abizaid, who was already in Djibouti, and flew from East Africa to Afghanistan. While waiting for a chinook (Ch-47) helicopter to pick us up, I got a chance to check out the flight line. That included a quick look at the Dutch Air Force F-16s deployed to Afghanistan. At the moment I am north of Kabul at Bagram Air Base. The flight to Bagram is spectacular. At the moment the central valley is lush with crops. The Himalayas literally wall the valley, quickly leaping from rough, brown cliffs to the snow-capped peaks.

And I spent the day dreaming about that one time I was at the movies and Lakers' head coach Pat Reilly was right behind me. Man, I bet Austin Bay would trade his trip for my moment of glory in a heart beat......

10 I've met a few notables, mostly Army guys, and most people wouldn't know them, but I can say I have stood face to face, and even shared beers with, some of the greatest honest-to-God heroes of our century. I met one old Special Forces Sergeant Major at Fort Bragg at the SF club, and the stories he had to tell from his almost 40 years in the Army were nothing less than astounding. He had truly been everywhere, seen everything, met everyone, and killed them. With his bare hands. Okay, I exaggerated that last part. He used a C-ration spoon on some.

12 I also saw, but didn't meet, John QuiÃƒÂ±ones from ABC news once in Atlanta. It wasn't thrilling, just a surpirse. We were having lunch in a trendy Italian place in Alpharetta and I looked around to find the restroom, and there was John coming out. I guess I looked stunned, and all I could say was "hey!" (this to my wife, though I wasn't looking at her), and he must have been used to that sort of thing, (ya think?), because he just looked at me, winked and grinned, and said "hey, how's it goin'?" and continued to his table. Next to ours. We hadn't ordered yet and I've always been wary of trendy restaurants, but I figured if he was eating there the food must be decent. The only thing about the whole meeting that really impressed me was the fact that he's a big guy, and he looked like he worked out, which is a definite contrast to most wimpy news guys you see.

Alien NYC Girl, 16, Forced to Leave U.S.

(Queens, New York) Updating a story from April when two 16-year-old illegal alien girls were arrested for terrorism and immigration concerns and held for several weeks. One of the girls, Tashnuba Hayder, was forced to return to her native country of Bangladesh after the FBI discovered she visited "an Internet chat room where she took notes on sermons by a charismatic Islamic cleric in London, a sheik who has long been accused of encouraging suicide bombings."

Apparently, the other 16-year-old girl, name withheld, was not considered to be a potential threat and, although she is also an illegal alien, she was released from custody and allowed to go home to Queens. Go figure.

North can feed it's extra population, it's the friggin' south that needs to be castrated.

News about troubles in the Far East will start getting more and more space in the media in order to make invading North Korea a justified act of 'peace'. If someone kills Bush before his reign ends, his worldpolice-politics will be continued with 'honouring the leader'-excuse, so I think he'll be killed this September or the next, so they can link it to WTC and terrorists in 'American idiot' -minds.

It was a couple of airplanes piloted by peaceful Arab Muslims. There is tape, you know. "Are most of you still too young to drive?"

What at first was overwhelming and disorienting is quickly found to be nothing special. "Do some research." Which comic books do you recommend? "Get in some balanced reading; House of Bush, House of Saud, for example." Does it have lots of "POW!", and "BAM!"? Ah, balanced. Of course. Actually I did browse it heavily at the bookstore. Too many rhetorical leaps, unless of course you can take a typical business relationship in a world you will never understand, and extrapolate it into a cabal bent on world domination. Something tells me you can. "It's frightening, my young conservative fundamentalists." Hehe, in my head that sounds like: "I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!" It may be frightening to you, but I suspect a lot of tother things are too. There is help, you know. The nice doctors don't want to implant (yet another) mind control device, they just want to help you. Now come down off the roof dear before the nice policemen have to tazer you. "And we all know what fundamentalism leads to in the Middle East,...suicide bombers

" You're all over the map now. Tell ya what, you just let us know when you see a family of well-dressed white people in a minivan loaded with explosives on their way to vacation Bible school. When you see them, call DNC headquarters and tell them "YEEEEARGH!". It's a secret code; they'll know what you mean. You have to keep an eye on those Republicans, you know, they go to church and everything. Dangerous lot. Well I'm off to add a couple of layers of foil to the house.

On reading that, I instantly envisioned a fat guy sitting in his mother's basement, rubbing his hands together. He smells like BO and Doritos. He is lonely. Soooooo lonely... But you forgot to add: "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!". I will forgive you for not having thunder and lightning though, as Dr. Rusty doesn't allow such things. The fascist. Oh and by the way, if by "falling" you mean that he will leave office in a little over three years; yeah, we knew that. And there is nothing we'd want to do about it, as that's what the Constitution says must happen. It was only your beloved commie-lover FDR who overstayed his term.

Posted by: Brad at June 18, 2005 09:46 AM (pO1tP)

18 They have no tests at all, since the health care system is supposed to notice stuff like that.

20 Speaking of terrorism in the United States, we were attacked with Anthrax. How soon we forget. The letters contained a specific type of weaponized Anthrax made by a United States military lab which had been claiming for a lot of years that it wasn't doing that sort of thing any more. The anthrax came from the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease at Fort Detrick, Md. http://www.usatoday.com/news/sept11/2001/12/19/anthrax-probe.htm The person who created the letter wrote what they thought a letter from Arabs would look like, so that the phrases "Death to Israel", and "Allah is Great" (a real Muslim says either "Allah Achbar" or "God is Great") would point the finger of blame for the Anthrax at Arabs. And that means that all the references to Allah and Israel are a carefully crafted hoax, designed to trick Americans into thinking that Arab Muslims were to blame for the Anthrax letters. There are two suspects accused of being the source of the Anthrax letters. The first is Dr. Philip Zack, who was caught on camera entering the storage area where the Anthrax was kept without proper authorization after being fired from his job for a racially motivated attack on an Egyptian coworker. http://www.ph.ucla.edu/epi/bioter/anthraxmissingarmylab.html The second suspect is the more well known Dr. Stephen Hill, accused (and re-accused and re-accused) by Dr. Barbara Rosenberg although no actual evidence of his involvement has surfaced. Regardless of whether one thinks Dr. Zack or Dr. Hill is the culprit, neither man is an Arab Muslim, which means that the above letters are not evidence of a terrorist attack. They are evidence of an intentional deception against the people of the United States; a deliberate frame-up of middle eastern Arabs for acts of terror committed inside the United States. The day before Anthrax was discovered , a letter arrived at a police department claiming that the Egyptian coworker that caused Dr. Zach to get fired was the one that sent the Anthrax. This was a big slip up as the Anthrax had not yet been discovered until the next day. Again, someone trying to frame an A-Rab. Probably Dr. Zack. He has barely been investigated compared to Dr. Hill. Dr. Zack is a member of a certain religion of peace. He is rumored to have dual citizenship. He should be the prime suspect. Dr. Rosenberg, also a member of a certain religion of peace, has kept the focus off Dr. Zack and on Dr. Hill. Go figure! We need to solve this. Call your congress critters and ask why Dr. Zack hasnÂ’t been fully investigated. This crime MUST be solved.

24 For an in depth analysis of the Anthrax case, go to: http://antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=2038 Yes, it's from antiwar.com But Justin Raimondo is a paleo-Republican who writes exceptionally well and backs up every sentence with an article from the MSM. For example, the original Hartford Courant article reporting Dr. Zack's midnight break in into his former place of employment, Ft. Detrick, many months after he had been fired. It is facinating reading.

26 Brad, I recommend a basket of asian currencies. Include the Chinese currency, the Renminbi. Although it is currently pegged to the dollar, meaning you will just tread water with it for now, should it be revalued in the next few years it will likely go up by 50% or more. The major risks are a world wide down turn in the economy and the possibility that the US will go to war with China. I think it's a good play for the next decade anyways.

29 Greg, I agree that the smearing of Steven Hatfill is outrageous, not only has he been "convicted" in the press, he has also lost jobs, and the respect of his community and has been referred to over and over again as the #1 suspect even though there is nothing to link him to the crime other than his former employers projects for the U.S Government. FBI agents even ran over his foot for Christ's sake. I doubt he will ever get a formal apology, even if he did it would not get the press coverage that made him the lead suspect, thus it would be worthless.

Do You Think I Might Have Said Something That Resonated?

Whoa! Just took ten minutes to check in on the blogosphere today, really busy with the family, and lo and behold the damn that was the pent up anger at the Leftosphere's moral equivocation has burst.

Big thanks for the resounding show of support.

64 Trackbacks went through. I actually had so many trackbacks that our system thought we were getting spammed and shut the trackback function down several times. Dozens of other links with no trackbacks, including Glenn Reynolds, Hugh Hewitt, Roger L. Simon and Andrew Sullivan......thanks for forwarding the post to the bigwhigs folks!

Technorati lists the post as the third most cited on the blogosphere today.....

TTLB lists the post as the most cited in the blogosphere today......

Two lessons to be learned from this. First, a lot of people are fed up with the Left's comparisons of the U.S. to genocidal regimes and are outraged at their moral equivocation.

Second, even though the Llama Butchers mounted Wonkette first, it took a Jawa to make Kos the bitch.

Sexy Teacher Debra Lafave Offered Plea Deal

(Tampa, Florida) According to attorney John Fitzgibbons, former teacher and sex kitten Debra Lafave, 24, has been offered a plea deal by the prosecution that would resolve the court cases in both Hillsborough and Marion Counties.

Lafave (photo) and her attorney appeared in court Thursday morning to discuss the possible plea agreement. The state's psychological evaluation of Lafave was given to Fitzgibbons and will be reviewed prior to deciding on whether to accept the offer. It's believed that Lafave may be facing some serious jail time even though she claimed to be insane when she committed the sex crimes with the 14-year-old boy.

Last November, Lafave pleaded not guilty to four counts of lewd and lascivious battery and one count of lewd and lascivious exhibition. Each carries a possible 15-year prison term. Ouch! Another hearing has been scheduled for July 18.

24 YBP, the Fort Apache and the Castle were great, but they now have a kit will you get a M1, C-130 and hundreds of army men, Or you can get a carrier and hundreds of sailors, me, I'll stick with the M1. I did see the news a little about this guy. It is sad he was able to slip through the cracks all these years. Andre, The only thing I disagree with the killing of all sex offenders are I really see two types of them. There are the ones who forces their victims and ones who take advantage of them. Example, I know a guy that when he was 21 years old, he hooked up with a 14 year old. The both digged each other and did the big fandango. He got busted by her parents and ended up on the Sex Offender list. Now I know this guy deserved what he got, and I know that if another willing 14 year old offer, he probably would do it again. But I also know he would not try to force any one to do it. Do we need to keep tabs on him, yes, do we need to kill him, no. Do we need to kill those who kill their victims, positively. But then, I firmly believe that anyone who commits 1st degree murder (premeditated) should be given the death penalty.

Of course the L/D/D are practically the ultimate front group for the Enemy. Useful Idiots. Usually I avoid visiting sites like Daily WacKos because I don't want to give them the hit counts and because they're degrading and repetitively profane, childish and boring. I read the excepts on sites like this. I did become aware of WacKos before the Mother of All Elections, Bush/Cheney'04, and expected MarKos to meltdown in a public breakdown. It didn't happen, yet. Those guys are trained-ape malcontents who never thought it through.

6 As I've said previously, kos is a coward. A gutless, spineless, coward, who joined the Army for the benefits, almost got deployed to Desert Storm, and suddenly found himself to be a pacifist. Imagine that. Let me put it in perspective. There are thousands of females, ranging in age from teenagers to middle-aged women, who are serving with honorable distinction in a war zone. Some of them have been killed or wounded, yet they don't complain, they just serve. Bless them all. Kos, being a coward, doesn't even have half the "manhood" of these brave women who serve their nation. He's a pacifist, they are patriots. If he was man enough to feel shame for being so gutless, he would off himself. As it is, he will live as a coward, hating those who are his betters. To paraphrase this worm, "screw him".

12 Weights suck. I like doing 50 pull-ups every morning before I make my coffee. Now that is a proper way to wake up.

13 "People of color who go into the military are put on the front line," said the 67-year-old Carroll, who is black." Well of course they are put on the front line. And the back line, and the middle line, etc.. I hate to bust up her reminiscences about the days of yore and legends pertaining thereunto, but in modern war as it's being waged in the Middle East, there is no front line, and there is no safe area. My wife's cousin, a Marine Major, just got back from Iraq. He said that his unit took a lot of casualties among support personnel such as cooks and truck drivers. You simply can't listen to what blacks have to say I'm afraid, because the entire black community has been force-fed the Kool Aid for decades now, and have no idea what is really going on in the world. They are completely out of touch with reality, save for a very few individuals. I heard black soldiers in my unit complain ceaselessly about how they were discriminated against, even though the majority of enlisted and NCO's were black, and we had a black commanding officer and first sergeant. The point that was constantly brought up was that black soldiers were in trouble more often than white soldiers. Well, duh, considering they outnumbered us by 1.5:1, and that they had a tendancy to go to town and get in a drunken brawl on payday, and spent the weekend in jail by a ratio of about 10:1 over white soldiers. Bill Cosby is right, the black community can't get by just blaming whitey anymore, they have to face the hard, cold truth.

Firing Up The Trackback Debate

A year ago I started a brief debate regarding trackback etiquette. James McGovern has given me some inspiration and I'd like to rekindle that debate. My thoughts, ideas, and opinions have been posted over at Lockergnome.

Let's create a standard for blogs and trackbacks; let's end this debate and move along effectively.

NEVER Call Your Pastor Back (Help me guest posters, you're my only hope!)

NOTE: Boring personal info below explaining why blogging will be light and why I need my guest-posters and collaborators to pick up the slack today.

1 Jebus bless you Rusty! You're not a "sucker" because a sucker doesn't know he's sucking. Clearly you do ;-)

2 Without even getting into Universalism... Help them out and do your good deed for the day. (But demand that six-pack after.)

Posted by: Young Bourbon Professional at June 10, 2005 10:50 AM (x+5JB)

3 No, donÂ’t listen to Mr. Professional....get the goods UP FRONT. "Remember if they ask to take your top off, get the money first" Actually, I sympathize with you. I too feel like the only guy who gets called to help people or the church. I guess it is ok, but sometimes I wish "others" would pick up the slack a bit. If you guest bloggers ever need guest bloggers....I am your man.

4 by helping the INO types, perhaps one day they wont be INO anymore... think assimilation... resistance is futile... besides if they become non-INO, then your pastor can call THEM instead.

Posted by: Jon at June 10, 2005 11:10 AM (9tzOa)

5 Well, I guess it is kind of human nature to begrudge it a bit, but I'll tell you the same thing my wife tells me. IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT!!! By being one of the dependable ones they can always count on to volunteer if they have a need, you increase the chances of them calling, because you will do the responsible thing and actually show up, even if it's inconvenient. And you probably drive home each time saying "Never Again." Until next time they call.

Posted by: Jeremy at June 10, 2005 11:10 AM (ssh6o)

6 I applaud WunderKraut's suggestion. Nothing makes the drudgery of moving a little more bearable then having some suds before, during, and after.

Posted by: Young Bourbon Professional at June 10, 2005 11:15 AM (x+5JB)

7 okay, i'm pickin' up the slack... This is just up your alley. Leonard Nimoy (yes, this is the official web page of the Star Trek geek) apparently likes voluptuous women... http://www.leonardnimoyphotography.com/7body.htm By the way, Rusty, if you get "fired" from your church because you just don't feel like helping out, you can always come work for us at Intertrobe. Peace out...

10 Have some desert, then. I'm just finishing up my second cup of java here on the West Side.

13 That dude Jebus? Is that your wacky, non-Korean Universalist Christ?

And I think yo are creating a new _INO ... Christian In Name Only ... Good luck with the Dr Pepper! /TJ PS - and yes, helping slackers move sucks ... but I agree with YBP - you can write that off as your good deed for the day/week/month.

14 Clear that Nimoy image out of yer head with this. http://tbs.com/stories/story/0,,49762,00.html Only got one question. Mary Ann or Ginger??

Posted by: Howie at June 10, 2005 12:32 PM (D3+20)

15 Howie: Referring to the old show? May Ann all the way. Ginger was to "Mae Westish." Mrs. Howell is not in the running.

Posted by: Young Bourbon Professional at June 10, 2005 01:03 PM (x+5JB)

16 I just could not get that Nimoy thing out of my head. Old show new show any show it has got to be Mary Ann for me. But a Mike sandwich with Ginger and Mary Ann bread now that's good stuff.

Posted by: Howie at June 10, 2005 01:11 PM (D3+20)

17 Howie: Now now. What would the little woman say? She might even forgive you for a brief fling with the Professor, but not that tart Ginger.

24 I always imagined Nimoy was a freak, but DAMN! Can you imagine the smell in the room? I'm guessing tuna and Limburger cheese left in a hot car for a couple of days.

Posted by: Young Bourbon Professional at June 10, 2005 02:40 PM (x+5JB)

28 Well no. I'm working like a dog. I have a little batch going. I think its been about two weeks. The bubbling has slowed up quite a bit, but it's no where near done yet. I'm hoping if I don't watcvh so closely it will get done quicker. A watched pot never boils. But mainly I'm trying to did out of this hole I'm in and get ahead so I can get some time to do other things. The computer Isn't cooperating with me today though and it looks like I'm going to have to put in some hours this weekend.

29 Those are the kind of gals you have to roll in flour first.

Posted by: Oyster at June 10, 2005 02:57 PM (fl6E1)

30 I'm looking at it this way. By church members helping them out it shows that your church cares about them thus they may be more apt about attending church.

Posted by: Karl B at June 10, 2005 02:59 PM (xVnxW)

31 "Those are the kind of gals you have to roll in flour first." "I'm looking at it this way. By church members helping them out it shows that your church cares about them thus they may be more apt about attending church." I can see this thread has split into two directions!

Posted by: Young Bourbon Professional at June 10, 2005 03:01 PM (x+5JB)

32 Just remember to lift with your knees. And something from Ecclesiastes about casting your bread upon the waters; it'll probably be a bit gooey later, but it'll be there.

AI Gets One Right: Report on Human Rights and the Blogosphere

Ok, surfing around the Amnesty International website I came across this: Press Freedom Day: Human rights in the Blogosphere. It's good to know that between their idiotic Chomsky inpired anti-Americanisms that they have some concern about bloggers getting locked up in countries where real human rights abuses are commonplace. more...

WTW: Chav

Ok, so I've kinda let White Trash Wednesday fade away into oblivion. Sorry. I blame my short attention span on TV. Oh, and Bush. In lieu of a WTW post of my own, go check out Jeff at Beautiful Attrocities who has the goods on the British equivalent of white-trash: chav.

Seeking the Adrenalin-Junkie Tourist

Sidney Morning Herald:

It was once called the Venice of the East and with imagination you can still see why: boats skim across lagoons, golden domes glint in sunshine, coffee shops abound in the old quarter.
Stroll down the corniche at sunset and you can stop for a kebab and ice-cream, smoke a hubble-bubble, play chess and listen to the water lapping below. And then, if you are a westerner, you can check you have not been followed, adjust your disguise, and signal to your bodyguard that you want to return to the hotel.
Basra declared itself open to foreign visitors this week but instructed them to be vigilant, dress like locals and hire armed escorts. "Then there is a 70 to 80 per cent chance you will be OK," beamed Abdul Razuqi, the head of the tourism office in Iraq's second city.
Those odds are set to be tested if Iraqi Airways succeeds in running regular commercial flights between Basra and Heathrow, the first direct civilian air link between Iraq and the west. The airline plans to seek a slot at Heathrow within two months.

To accommodate the adrenalin-tourist, repairs to the gutted five-star Basra Sheraton are scheduled to commence this month. Tour planners suggest that visitors dye their hair and wear traditional robes to look like mid-Easterners.

With the ever-present threats of kidnapping and assassination, Basra is surely a thrilling destination, however, tourists are cautioned that they will find the city's "museums gutted, theatres shut, streets reeking with rubbish and sewage and waterways littered with capsized vessels, including Saddam Hussein's yacht."

I think I'll pass. It sounds too much like Detroit.
