“They’re rioting in Africa, they’re starving in Spain, there’s hurricanes in Florida and Texas needs rain.” A snippet out of a Kingston Trio song, true then, true now. A typhoon has killed off at least 100,000 of us according to the latest estimates. It wasn’t all that long ago that one that hit Bangladesh took the lives of over 200,000. The world paid little attention to the losses among that mass of teeming, terribly impoverished humanity then and is paying almost the same attention to this one. The numbers are too big and it’s too far away. We don’t want to think about it.

What we do notice, however, is a breakout in fighting in Lebanon and what that may mean to the price of oil. Of course, we also notice the price of oil. We notice it a lot, actually, and many of us are pretty scared about it because our wages aren’t keeping pace and the cost of oil is driving up the cost of literally everything else except our rent. And that’s coming, we know it is.

We pay closer attention to an Arab of African and American parents who is trying to take up the power seat of the worlds most powerful nation, than we pay to the deaths of 100,000 humans in one awful storm. We don’t pay any attention at all to this mans racist minister, this mans racist wife, this mans underworld and terrorist friends. We pay no attention at all to this mans stream of lies. That he’s an inveterate liar and storyteller matters much less than that he can orate well. Because he can, many people say they admire his “wisdom”.

What I admire is the incredible stupidity of my fellow man. I admire the shallowness of us. I deeply admire our false caring, our utter and total incapacity to admit being wrong or in error. I wallow in the luxurious ecstasy of pain suffered by those who are forced to actually apologize. I shudder with violent paroxysms of glee as we rise with one voice in our denial of any possibility outside of our own narrow, cretinously opinionated view.

But most of all, I adore, yes, adore, how really marvellously stupid we are. We who are so very clever at making gadgets, we are the master toolmakers. After millions of years of evolving, we have finally outdone the web spider in creativity while we still have the same mindset as the spider. We don’t care what we kill as long as we eat for another day.

Henry David Thoreau once remarked that if you read a newspaper once, you never needed to read another because the news never changed. The very few of you who stop in and read my rants will have noticed that my rants are coming fewer and farther between. I think it’s because I’ve said all I can say on the subjects I chose as the blog’s mainstay. If another war starts, all it is, is just another war.

Right now, you know, I’m just worn out on stupidity. I don’t say things here that stupid humanity is at all interested in reading. You can have your blog popularity contests and that’s fine, I just wanted to reach people, which is proof of my own stupidity.

PARIS (Reuters) - French former film star Brigitte Bardot went on trial on Tuesday for insulting Muslims, the fifth time she has faced the charge of “inciting racial hatred” over her controversial remarks about Islam and its followers.

Prosecutors asked that the Paris court hand the 73-year-old former sex symbol a two-month suspended prison sentence and fine her 15,000 euros ($23,760) for saying the Muslim community was “destroying our country and imposing its acts”.

Since retiring from the film industry in the 1970s, Bardot has become a prominent animal rights activist but she has also courted controversy by denouncing Muslim traditions and immigration from predominantly Muslim countries.

She has been fined four times for inciting racial hatred since 1997, at first 1,500 euros and most recently 5,000.

“I am fed up with being under the thumb of this population which is destroying us, destroying our country and imposing its acts,” the star of ‘And God created woman’ and ‘Contempt’ said.

She’s absolutely correct. The woman should be considered a hero, but instead she’s being prosecuted for saying what she thinks instead of kissing muslim ass like the simpering appeasers in her government. Every time I think the French are finally growing some hair, they prove me wrong. “Inciting racial hatred”. Since when did a fascist creed become a race? Muslims are white, black and all colors in between.

The muslims in France, meanwhile, can riot and loot and burn cars literally by the 1000’s, and be called “angry youths”. Their preachers can exhort them to kill every non-muslim they can find, and demand that the government of France give muslims special treatment that ordinary French citizens don’t get, and the French murmur apologies and meekly comply. But be prosecuted for tromping all over the laws and rights of French ciitizens? No. The government of France is such a cadre of cowards that instead they go after a 73-year-old faded movie star who has more courage than all those politicians put together, to show their muslim bullies that they’re being dutifully compliant.

For Sale: French Military Rifle. Never Fired. Dropped Once.

About 20,000 workers rioted over high food prices and low wages on Saturday close to the Bangladesh capital Dhaka, police said, amid spreading global unrest over soaring grocery costs.

Food riots seem to be happening around the world on a near-daily basis lately. U.N. peacekeepers fired rubber bullets and tear gas at an angry mob that tried to storm the National Palace in the Hatian capital, Port-au-Prince today. Riots began in Haiti last Wednesday and five people have already been killed in the violence.

Food Riots in Egypt

The UN secretary general has warned that millions of people are at risk of starvation as global food stocks have fallen to their lowest levels for decades. The most acute effects have been seen in Egypt, where thousands of people have resorted to violence due to the unavailability of basic food products such as bread, rice, sugar and cooking oil, and rising food prices. At least 10 people have died over the past two weeks, in riots that erupted at government subsidised bakeries.

Besides Haiti and Egypt, there’s been food riots in 8 African nations, mostly along the western coast, as well as in Mexico, Milan, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Yemen, and the food shortage is just beginning. The poorer nations suffer starvation first and so the riots also start there first, but the food shortage is steadily becoming more widespread.

I’ve posted on this before and I’ll be posting on it again before it’s all done. The world is heading into global famine, and with famine comes war, disease and death. Those of you who live in affluent countries, thank your lucky stars but keep your powder dry, because if this situation isn’t reversed soon, global famine alone is enough to spark a global war. Starvation and plagues go together. Always have and this time will be no different.

Now is a good time to kill off those mice and rats that you’ve been putting off doing. Fleas…..

Blue-suited Chinese thugs in downtown London.

Well, They Are Famous For Their Terrible Cuisine so it should come as no surprise that the UK is serving up a lot of Fresh Hot Crow to their oppressed citizens. The latest meal is the presence of 30 Chinese paramilitary elite thugs who made sure no one got near the Olympic torch as it was carried through London, and they did so by brutally attacking anyone who came too close.

This obscene degrading of British national sovereignty was apparently set up by Scotland Yard, with the Chinese thugs having been allowed into the UK under “tourist” visas.

Kudos to the British people though: The Daily Telegraph has learnt that organisers, including Chinese officials, discussed “pulling out” of the day-long relay after just a few hours, as police fought running battles with wave after wave of anti-China protesters.

Kevin Rudd, the Australian Prime Minister, warned Beijing yesterday that he would not allow the Chinese thugs to guard the Olympic torch when it is carried through Canberra this month. He said that their behavior would not be repeated in his capital.

“All security, repeat all security, is provided by Australians,” he told The Times during a visit to London. The Olympic torch is due to be carried through Canberra on April 24 and is likely to attract anti-Chinese demonstrations similar to those seen in London, Paris and this morning in San Francisco.

The beginning of the relay in San Francisco is hours away as I write this, and I can find no mention of the possible participation of the Chinese thugs. There will be a two-and-a-half-hour relay along this city’s waterfront, involving six miles of pavement, 79 runners and untold scores of law enforcement officials.

Major protests by those upset with China’s human rights record and recent crackdown in Tibet are expected and even supported by the city’s Board of Supervisors, which voted on April 1 to condemn China’s human rights record. Chris Daly, the supervisor who wrote the resolution, went further on Monday, posting a blog entry calling on followers to “build on the message that’s been delivered” in Paris and London. That’s pretty straightforward and has upset the Chinese no end.

The San Francisco Police Department canceled days off for patrol officers and called in state and federal agencies and officers from nearby cities to help patrol the relay route. A no-fly zone was established overhead, the Coast Guard beefed up its fleet and Bay Area police planned on a pair of motorized water scooters patrolling the waterways. It’s going to look like a war zone instead of the celebration it’s always been before.

“I can only confirm that the route is dynamic,” said Nathan Ballard, a city spokesman. “We got monks tomorrow, Desmond Tutu and Richard Gere here today, and a nude torch relay in the works,” he said, “And I have no hope of leaving here without tripping over hundreds of members of the foreign media. I’ll tell you one thing: it won’t be boring.”

Yep. A nude torch relay. Only in San Francisco would you expect to see some of the torch bearers running NAKED! Wah hah hah, I wonder how China will like that?

Well, unlike England, San Francisco is famous for its fine cuisine. It’s going to be fascinating as all Hell to watch what they dish up today.

For about a week now the Main Stream Media has had a spotlight on Sen. Barack Obama and his response to the outrageous statements of his pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Yet while the media is making a big to-do over his saying things like “The United States is a country founded on bigotry” and that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were the nation’s “chickens coming home to roost” and that we deserved to be attacked, the American public doesn’t seem to be interested in hearing about it.

Radio talk shows don’t drum up much response on the subject and get more call-ins on topics such as the 5-year Iraq war anniversary or the Bear-Stearns bailout. People simply don’t care that Barack Obama frequented a church for 20 years and was (and is) a very close friend of a pastor who preaches the same Islamic Fundamentalist hatred as Osama Bin Laden and all the other terrorists who keep saying that the attack in New York and the deaths of nearly 3000 innocent people was all our own fault.

People don’t seem to care that Obama follows a preacher who says white people are the enemies of black people, that Jesus is black, that merging Marxism with Christian Gospel may show the way to a better tomorrow, that the white church in America is the antichrist because it supported slavery and segregation.

People don’t care that Obama has been taught to believe in an extremely racist “black value system”, that he has been taught for 20 years to be loyal “first to being black and the black value system, second to Africa and last of all to America”.

People don’t care that Barack Hussein Obama has for 20 years been taught by and has maintained a close relationship with a man who preaches hatred of Jews exactly like any muslim, or that this “Rev.” Wright in fact was formerly a muslim, as was Barack Hussein Obama. People don’t care that one still preaches Islam in disguise and the other, the one who wants to become our next president, has been his student for 20 years.

Baa, people. Baa. The wolf is circling.

Senator John McCain is behind the giveaway of a $40 billion U.S. Air Force tanker contract to a joint venture of Boeing rivals, Northrop Grumman and Airbus. This is European Aeronautic, Defense & Space Co., the parent of Airbus and based in France, and Northrop Grumman, based in Los Angeles.

Boeing now will miss out on a deal that it says would have supported 44,000 new and existing jobs at the company and suppliers in 40 states.

“I hope the voters of this state remember what John McCain has done to them and their jobs,” said Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash., whose state would have been home to the tanker program and gained about 9,000 jobs. “Having made sure that Iraq gets new schools, roads, bridges and dams that we deny America, now we are making sure that France gets the jobs that Americans used to have,” said Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill. “We are sending the jobs overseas, all because John McCain demanded it.”

Angry Boeing supporters are vowing revenge against Republican presidential candidate John McCain, as should every unemployed worker in the U.S. for this stupid move on McCains part. He claims that he’s saved us taxpayers some billions of dollars by doing this when in fact he’s doing exactly what Bush has done and is supporting multinational corporations at American expense. He very likely is being heavily rewarded for this perfidy that is actually taking billions of dollars away from American workers.

This is exactly why our economy is falling apart, because of the greed, corruption and cupidity of those we entrusted to keep our nation strong and safe. If McCain were a Democrat, the Republican party would be accusing him of treason for this.

McCain is also known for frequently losing control of his temper. This alone is a terrible trait in a president. I really don’t like this guy, he’s dangerous, way too old for the job and mentally unstable. As much as I dislike religious fanatics, Huckabee would have been a lot better, which is probably why he lost out to McCain. Sheep vote for the one they’re told to by the Great Cyclops.

I’m off to my cabin for 10 days or so, during which time I fully expect visits here to drop to zero. Good thing it’s a new blog. See you when I get back.

U.S. workers “unexpectedly” lost 63,000 jobs in February. For the 63,000 workers that must have been unexpected, alright. Last month, January, 22,000 jobs were lost plus the jobless rate actually dropped to 4.8% at the same time as many people gave up looking for work because of the shrinking labor market.

The way this is figured is that even though people are finding jobs, so many jobs were lost at the same time that the net loss is 63,000 for the month. Couple that with the crashing housing construction market, the mortgage industry collapse, the loss of much of our manufacturing to China, the dramatic rise in oil prices that keep pushing the value of the dollar lower and lower, the inflationary trend because of that as all prices continue to increase, and it’s obvious that we’re plunging into a recession that may well turn into a depression.

“All the lights are flashing red,” said Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at Global Insight Inc. in Lexington, Massachusetts, in an interview with Bloomberg Television. “We’re in a recession. I don’t think there is any doubt about it at this point.”

The fickle finger of blame can be pointed at government incompetency, and it would be correct. However, the American public has to bear the burden as well. We flocked to Wal-Mart and every other store that offered us goods made in China at cheaper prices than we could produce them for, here, knowing that our industries were shutting down because of our stinginess, our perfidy.

Now all that money we saved had better be in the bank, because we’re going to need every dime of it in the days ahead. Nice work, all you sheep. You’re not that stupid, you saw this coming, you know you did. You just chose to go baa and keep on eating the grass.

Today’s a better day, neckwise. The strain pain is gone so now I’ll try to make up for yesterdays lack of scintillating repartee.

Found an article this morning about an Irish bar owner who declared March a “No Danny Boy” month, being sick and tired of drunk patrons singing this dirge-like lament, which reminded me of some of my own past mischief. A friend and I frequented a German-style bar where the band would play faster and faster as the night wore on, thereby inducing their customers to drink faster and faster. So this one evening we carefully chose a small table in the back, in the shadows and behind a pillar, and after things were rolling rapidly along, they began taking requests, which they always did after the crowd was half-looped.

So I sidled up and requested “Danny Boy” and quickly slipped back to our hidden table. Since the poor fool had uttered the name into his microphone, he was stuck with it. He tried to find the dirty rat who’d requested it, and coerce said rat into having to sing it, but I was well hidden. So the band played it and sang it, the drinking in the place virtually halted as everyone stared deeply into their beer mugs and it took them a good half-hour to get things going again even close to what it was before.

Years later I’m still laughing.

Florida and Michigan are in the deep fat now over the silencing of 5,163,271 American votes in their primaries, because their Dem. parties violated the rules by holding their caucuses too early. The real question here is can the National Dem. Committee deny voting rights to over 5 million U.S. citizens? Politics aside, this action seems basically unconstitutional and the governors of both states jointly stated “It is intolerable that the national political parties have denied the citizens of Michigan and Florida their votes and voices at their respective national conventions”.

If my vote had been rendered worthless by some over-penalizing party bureaucrats, I’d want them to pay for my time and the gasoline it took. Multiply that by 5 million. By nullifying all those votes, they went too far in their idea of enforcing party rules. They forgot about all those who voted.

Since the McCain issue is settled, now it’s all about Clinton vs. Obama and the latter is showing his whiny side, crying over her “kitchen-sink strategy” in winning three of the four states primaries that were just held. Ummm, I think it’s called “politics”. Obama is a great speaker, full of lofty rhetoric that pours out of him apparently without effort, but every time he’s asked a hard question he equivocates. His experience really is lacking, he’s a junior senator who has done almost nothing during his short time in Congress, and there’s still the matter of that Blacks-only church of his.

Here’s some info about him and his church: Obama said “We were always playing on the white man’s court — by the white man’s rules. If the principal, or the coach, or a teacher wanted to spit in your face, he could, because he had the power and you didn’t. The only thing you could choose was withdrawal into a smaller and smaller coil of rage.”
Obama’s once described the white race as “that ghostly figure that haunted black dreams.”
“That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote, blaming “white people — some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.”

In 1983, during college, Obama disapproved of what he called other “half-breeds” who gravitated toward whites instead of blacks. And yet after college, he once fell in love with a white woman, only to push her away when he concluded he would have to assimilate into her world, not the other way around. He later married a black woman.

According to this site, Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother’s side. He is 43.75% Arabic, and 6.25% African Negro from his father’s side. Why does his father have an Arabic name? Why does every ancestor on his father’s side have an Arabic name?” The answer is obvious: They have Arabic names because his father’s side of the family tree is Arabic. Hussein Obama isn’t black, he’s half Arab, which explains why all the Arab and all the Islamic organizations including Louis Farrakhan support him. Yet he claims to be black. He’s not.

He’s coming across more and more as a very thin-skinned guy, while with Clinton I sense a certain amount of desparation. Both of them are under tremendous pressure, and one of them may end up doing a Dean Scream yet that will decide which one gets their parties nomination. It’s fascinating to watch, anyway, while they pant and suffer.

Something I’ve never understood is why anyone would want that job so passionately. Bush, with Big Oil behind him, now that makes sense. But just because they want to be King of the Mountain? Mitt Romney spent a chunk of his personal fortune, millions, on a losing campaign and Clinton has tossed in $5 million of hers.

Usually, by the time your term ends, everyone hates you anyway. I just don’t get it.

Democracy is for those who are willing to take it, and this has been proven once again, this time by the Russians. Dmitry Medvedev is the overwhelming favorite to succeed Vladimir Putin in the election in which opposition parties and independent vote monitors have complained of widespread electoral violations.

Well, of course he is. The state-owned media has focused entirely on him, promoted him endlessly and he’s spent nothing on campaigning. He won’t enter into debates either, saying that there’s no point of debating with people “who have no chance of winning power.” He should know. The elections are rigged in his favor from one end of Russia to the other.

Putin, the supposedly outgoing Russian president, will be Russias prime minister and share power with Medvedev. This arrangement will be a first in Russian government. Voting in Russia is now only for show, just as it was during Stalins reign, and Russia has once again evolved into a new form of government. From the Czars, after the Roman ceasars, through revolution and communism, the collapse of communism, a feint at democracy and now back to dictatorship.

Even though the Union has fallen apart, and former slave nations have again asserted their independence, the regime in Russia refuses to recognize it and is trying to force them to rejoin Russia as slave states again.

In Putins favor, he’s put Russia back on its economic feet again, though he’s done this at the expense of everyone doing business with Russia. It doesn’t pay to be dependent on Russia for anything these days as those nations can expect more extortion for fuel and energy needs just as in the past, along with repeated military threats and aggression. Russia the Bear will always be a bear, looking to eat up the unwary, and it’s people will always be the property of “the state”, which means whoever is in power at the time.

The people accept this as the norm. Times in Russia have always been tough and the leadership has seldom made much difference in the well-being of its people. Putin has actually made things better for them and they’re loathe to see that change. Who could blame them? It’s different in Western democracies where we’ve come to expect a high standard of living.

Russia’s regime is harshly nationalist, which is exactly why they’re so successful lately. All the “Multiculturalist” and “open border” nations, such as the United States and most of the European nations, are decaying and falling behind. The world isn’t ready yet for a one-world government and may never be. There are simply too many ethnic, cultural, religious and language barriers and differences between us all that cause huge frictions between different populations when we become too mixed in with each other.

The United States would do well to follow the Russians example in terms of nationalism. We need to take a similar hard line with China, the Saudis and OPEC, and other Mid-East nations such as Iran. America First has become America Last, and if we don’t reverse this, we won’t last.

“Gaza Hamas leader thanks God for his son’s death in Israeli air strike.”

Hamas leader Khalil al-Haya fondly kissed the bloodied head of his slain militant son in a Gaza morgue Thursday, saying he was proud that his son had given his life for the Hamas cause and joined a long line of family members killed in the conflict with Israel.

Hamza, one of the firebrand lawmaker’s four sons, died in an Israeli air strike Thursday morning as he led a squad firing rockets from the territory into nearby Israel, Hamas said. The airstrike was one of a series during the day, after a Hamas rocket fired Wednesday killed a man in southern Israel.

“I thank God for this gift,” Khalil al-Haya said. “This is the 10th member of my family to receive the honor of martyrdom.”

Yeah, well, at that rate there can’t be too many left to be “honored”, hmmm?

“Such sentiments are often expressed by the families of Islamic militants who blow themselves up in suicide attacks or are killed in fighting with Israel, reflecting their belief that those who die for their faith and their convictions will be richly rewarded in the afterlife.”

The “rich reward” is for men only in the deeply sexist religion of Islam. If the men die fighting for Allah, (the name of their god) they’re told they’ll go to a paradise where they get 72 young virgins and 27 pretty boys to enjoy for eternity.

Reading his words, I come away with a strong impression that the primary goal is not to defeat Israel, but to die in the attempt. No wonder they just keep on coming. This proves that even wolves can behave like sheep.

“Ever since September 11, we’ve been lurching from one crisis to the next, which has really frightened the public,” “While we’ve been focusing so much attention on that, we’ve had this silent epidemic of obesity that’s killing millions of people around the world, and we’re devoting very little attention to it and a negligible amount of money.”

Yep. Obesity is way more dangerous than terrorism, but take heart. Only certain people tend toward bloating themselves with too much food and their claim is that it’s not gluttony, it’s genetic and they just can’t help themselves. So why take heart? Well, because there’s a certain thing called the Darwin Principle, which is that certain types that are less suited to survive, weed themselves out of the gene pool.

The fat sheep die first from all kinds of diseases and physical problems. Fatties are also less sexually desirable, and so have less children than moderate people. Extinction bound.

Yep. All you fatties out there are like terrorists except the only one being blown up is you. Some lovely day, with the warm sun in your face, just when you’re having the most fun and feel like you could live forever, BLOOEY! There goes the old heart. Bummer, huh?

What’s the big deal here? Obama went to Kenya in 2006 and posed for pictures dressed in native garb. Village elder garb, actually.

Now he’s acting ashamed of it and calling the Clinton camp “despicable”, claiming that they released it. Well, what if they did? If Hillary or Bill were in the same suit, their picture would be on magazine front pages. What are Obama and all the Hillary Haters upset about?

My only guess is that maybe they think it makes Obama look like an African. Well, he is half African, he’s a member of a Kenyan tribe, the Luos, and his brother is full African. I still don’t see the problem. What I think is happening here is that his strategists are looking for any possible way to make Hillary look racist and mean, and the Obamaniacs are bleating like sheep without thinking it over first.

Because if they really did think it over, they’d be saying how cool he looks in that get-up, not agreeing with him that he looks shameful, thereby hurting their candidate. I can see their point though. Guys with Islamic backgrounds named Hussein who run for president in our post 9/11 world would be better off not wearing turbans.

Blinky, blinky, time to wake up.

Washington Times…

Montana officials have warned SCOTUS (the Supreme Court of the U.S.) that should it adopt the erroneous position that the 2nd Amendment only protects a collective right of states to maintain militias like the National Guard, then the Feds will be in violation of the Montana statehood contract.

“…The U.S. would do well to keep its contractual promise to the states that the Second Amendment secures an individual right now as it did upon execution of the statehood contract…“
Brad Johnson, Montana Sec. of State.

”…So far, 39 elected Montana officials have signed a resolution declaring that a court ruling of the Second Amendment is a right of states and not of individuals would violate Montana’s compact…“

See? There are people out there who don’t run with the herd. Are you one of them? If not, are you beginning to see the light? It really is a choice of fight or die, even if it’s no more than fighting with your mind, your voice and your vote.

Thanks to Rambling Crusader for posting this.

A new survey has revealed that many Americans are leaving organized religion, sometimes for another faith but mostly for “unaffiliated”.

“The nation is still predominantly — 78 percent — Christian, but 5 percent are now adherents of other faiths and 16 percent are unaffiliated” and fully half of Americans have changed from one form of Christianity to another, mostly from Catholicism to Protestant and evangelical Protestant churches.

This is a good sign that a small part of the herd mentality is smartening up. The movement away from the Catholic Church is reasonable considering that it’s been revealed as a haven for homosexual child molesters. Certainly their scandals and massive legal problems and lawsuits can’t be expected to keep their members coming, and the church has been too inflexible anyway in the face of changing mores for many of its members.

The constant stream of scandals in Protestant/Evangelical churches hasn’t helped their cause either, as ministers are caught having sex in public bathrooms, getting rich from donations intended for good works, and so on.

Any sign that the American public can act in a thoughtful manner is a good sign. We used to be a nation of thinkers, with reasoned and considered opinions. Good to know we’re not completely hypnotized yet.

Understanding how crowds of humans behave like flocks of sheep or birds could help in the management of large groups of people in emergencies, scientists say.
Researchers at Leeds University believe their studies into how large numbers of individuals subconsciously follow just a small minority in a group could have important practical applications, especially in the management of disaster situations.

Ewe bet it’s practical. It saves us sheep from ever having to think. Baaa.

Original story reference link
From the Wash. Post blog… “When the going gets tough, the sheep farmers sell sex toys. At least that’s what Mark Ricketts and his wife Susan Donald of Ontario tried after a particularly bleak winter in 2002. Now, instead of counting sheep, they’re counting profits and satisfied customers. According to the National Post, their Happy Valley company has become Canada’s leading silicone sex toy manufacturer, selling 25 different products “in boutique sex shops across Canada, the United States, Europe and Japan.”

Sheep and sex toys. What an interesting combination, don’t you think?

Hey, ewe, looky here. WE’RE EVACUATING OUR SERBIAN EMBASSY! That’s (baaa) right, and do you know WHY? Because George Bush, our faithful furry leader with the long pointy ears and lovely sharp teeth recognized the breakaway little Islamic chunk of Serbia calling itself Kosovo, as being a legitimate country.

So now all the Christian Serbians are really, really mad at the United States and they’re showing it by attacking whatever part of us they can reach, which of course is our embassy and the poor bastards in it.

This reaction was a given. The Serbs begged us, implored us, not to give recognition to this illegal action but Baaa, we did anyway. And so, “Around 1,000 protesters set fire to the embassy in Belgrade in protest at Washington’s support for Kosovo’s declaration of independence.”

More Herd News today, our Fearless Leader (same one w/pointy ears and sharp teeth) Bush says that companies need the “protection” of the Wiretapping Law.
Bush called on Congress to quickly pass wiretapping legislation when it returns from a recess on Feb. 25, saying that telecommunications companies need the law to help the government monitor foreign terrorists.

Baaaa. Yes, please, take away more of our Constitutional Rights! Baaaa. Give us lots of BS, it makes our grass grow green, baaa. Lie to us, we believe every word of it. Baaa-aaa.

“The House’s refusal to act is undermining our ability to get cooperation from private companies, and that undermines our effort to protect us from terrorist attacks,” Bush said. OOO now I’m really scared. OOO terrorist attacks. Didn’t that idiot ever hear the story of “The boy who cried wolf”? He cried wolf one time too many and no one came to help when the wolf was really there, and the wolf ate him. This time it’s the wolf crying wolf. Baaaa. We believe him. Baaaa.
