Packing for Pakistan

Osama is there.

Muslim Extremist are there.

They have REAL WMD's.

They're CIA, the ISI, is complicit with Islamic militants, like we accused Saddam of being.

Instead of invading Western Afghanistan, NATO forces should have deployed into EASTERN Afghanistan FIRST, blocking of the Pakistan border thus removing any escape route for Bin Ladin or any Taliban looking to move over the Pakistan border. Instead they landed in the West, the enemy headed East and now they're under the indirect protection of the only Islamic country on earth with the Bomb. That's a major problem. We can't run missions into a country that has nuclear weapons. Bin Ladin planned to have Pakistan as a fallback position and he's ended up there safely. Now Obama is going to have to deal with the fallout of 8 years of bad policy and short sighted strategy. The biggest story of 2009 will come out of Pakistan.

Next thing you know he'll say he believes in Climate Change

"MCFADDEN: But do you believe in it?

BUSH: That God created the world, I do, yeah.

MCFADDEN: But what about ...

BUSH: Well, I think you can have both. I think evolution can -- you're getting me way out of my lane here. I'm just a simple president. But it's, I think that God created the Earth, created the world; I think the creation of the world is so mysterious it requires something as large as an almighty, and I don't think it's incompatible with the scientific proof that there is evolution. "

Wow, so I wonder how that makes the base feel. Lied to? Betrayed? Played for fools? Are any of you Churchies writing this shit down?

Obama-Gore anyone?

Any doubt in your mind that Al Gore should be the next Vice-president? This country has been in a tailspin since that original sin in Florida in 2000. Not only does the man have an Oscar, Nobel Prize, and a widely recognized face, he's also the most qualified man in the whole country after holding that office for 8 years. I think that an Obama-Gore ticket would help Obama with those hesitant over 45 voters. I think that both my wife and I would be willing to campaign door-to-door for this ticket. I believe that Obama bringing on Gore would show he's not afraid of being upstaged. I understand the desire for a VP with a strong military background, but I don't believe Democrats are going to out "War Hero" John McCain. Gore did serve mind you, but the big plus to adding him to your ticket would be the experience, name recognition, and in a weird way putting our country back on balance that we lost in 2000. In my view he was the last Democrat to win the White House. Short of Al Gore, I'd dig Edwards, Biden.

tony snow- good riddance

Tuesday, November 27, 2007, I posted about Tony snow getting cancer. He died this past weekend. Another paid messenger bites the dust. Fly on Tony! Go into the light!

"They're taking our jobs!"

I hear this refrain from the right and other Merican's that the Mexicans are taking our jobs. Look man, if a semi-literate man, with a third grade education, who doesn't even speak our language takes YOUR job my friend, you need to work on your skill set. I mean if he took your job you need to ask yourself what the fuck you did wrong in your interview! The Mexican guy who couldn't even answer any question's in english somehow managed to put on a better performance than the Merican. How is that possible? Discuss...

Ok, so it's been awhile...

That doesn't mean we have to stop talking! I've been busy having a life and living the summer way. Here is a little recap on what I've been seething over this summer:

• I told you Hillary would lose.
• Backing up a trailer on is hard as hell.
• Venison can be made edible, without jerking it.
• There are only like 3 Crocodile mask in all of creation.
• Washington Mutual has the lowest rank of security of customers information, right under Bank of America.

More on this and other topics later.

You to can actually make Deer edible!

Ingredients
3 pound roast or tenderloins of venison, cut into 6- by 3-inch pieces
2 heads garlic, cloves separated and smashed
1/2 cup savory or thyme leaves, lightly crushed
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/4 teaspoon Lowry’s1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, slightly cracked
1/4 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon sea salt

Preparation
Toss venison with garlic, savory, wine, Lowry’s, peppercorns, and 1/4 cup oil in a sealable bag. Marinate, chilled, turning bag occasionally, at least 8 hours.
It’s much, much better if you wait for 24 hours.
Bring venison to room temperature, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in middle. Discard marinade and pat meat dry.
Sprinkle on all sides with 1 tablespoon sea salt, then 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper.
Heat remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then brown meat on all sides in 2 or 3 batches, 3 to 4 minutes per batch.

Transfer to a shallow baking pan. Roast until venison registers 125°F on an instant-read thermometer (inserted 2 inches horizontally into meat) for rare, 5 to 9 minutes (depending on thickness of meat).
I flip it over at 4 minutes.
Let stand on a cutting board 10 minutes before slicing across the grain.

Cooks' notes:
• Venison can be marinated up to 24 hours.
• You can substitute a 3-pound trimmed and tied center-cut beef tenderloin roast for the venison (do not cut into pieces). Follow recipe above, roasting until beef registers 120°F, 25 to 30 minutes for medium-rare.

Hillary -severing all ties with reality

Harold Ickes, HRC spokesman who gave a presentation about Hillary Rodham Clinton's prospects that severed all ties with reality. "We're on the way to locking this nomination down," he said of a candidate who appears, if anything, headed in the other direction.

Really?

Because that's not what it looks like to me....

Pentagon Aknowledges Global Climate Change & End of Civilization

From an old UK Guardian story:

"Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters..

A secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a 'Siberian' climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world.

The document predicts that abrupt climate change could bring the planet to the edge of anarchy as countries develop a nuclear threat to defend and secure dwindling food, water and energy supplies. The threat to global stability vastly eclipses that of terrorism, say the few experts privy to its contents.

'Disruption and conflict will be endemic features of life,' concludes the Pentagon analysis. 'Once again, warfare would define human life.'

http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2004/feb/22/usnews.theobserver

I'm not even going to pretend we can or will try to changes our ways.

But dear reader I give you a short shopping list:

A small garden to grow and can your own food.

A well to water your garden, bathe, and drink from.

And finally, a rifle to defend your garden and well, since The Pentagon, not exactly a liberal environmentalist group, says:



"By 2020 'catastrophic' shortages of water and energy supply will become increasingly harder to overcome, plunging the planet into war. They warn that 8,200 years ago climatic conditions brought widespread crop failure, famine, disease and mass migration of populations that could soon be repeated."

Who do I hate more? Clemens or Congress?

Roger Clemens has always been an asshole. Even before he threw a baseball bat at Mets catcher Mike Piazza. So, while I do like seeing that Texas douche being in the hot seat, I ask myself doesn't Congress have something better to do?

Like track down that 9 billion in missing cash from Iraq? Even Faux admits it... http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,129489,00.html

Or better yet run a committee on our pending Martial Law Problems!

I want to warn some of you sellouts to stop reading, turn on your i-pod and turn on your tivo'd American Idol because shit gets deep in the next few paragraphs below from the SF Chronicle:

Beginning in 1999, the government has entered into a series of single-bid contracts with Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR) to build detention camps at undisclosed locations within the United States. The government has also contracted with several companies to build thousands of railcars, some reportedly equipped with shackles, ostensibly to transport detainees.

According to diplomat and author Peter Dale Scott, the KBR contract is part of a Homeland Security plan titled ENDGAME, which sets as its goal the removal of "all removable aliens" and "potential terrorists."

Fraud-busters such as Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Los Angeles, have complained about these contracts, saying that more taxpayer dollars should not go to taxpayer-gouging Halliburton. But the real question is: What kind of "new programs" require the construction and refurbishment of detention facilities in nearly every state of the union with the capacity to house perhaps millions of people?

Sect. 1042 of the 2007 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), "Use of the Armed Forces in Major Public Emergencies," gives the executive the power to invoke martial law. For the first time in more than a century, the president is now authorized to use the military in response to "a natural disaster, a disease outbreak, a terrorist attack or any other condition in which the President determines that domestic violence has occurred to the extent that state officials cannot maintain public order."

The Military Commissions Act of 2006, rammed through Congress just before the 2006 midterm elections, allows for the indefinite imprisonment of anyone who donates money to a charity that turns up on a list of "terrorist" organizations, or who speaks out against the government's policies. The law calls for secret trials for citizens and noncitizens alike.
Also in 2007, the White House quietly issued National Security Presidential Directive 51 (NSPD-51), to ensure "continuity of government" in the event of what the document vaguely calls a "catastrophic emergency." Should the president determine that such an emergency has occurred, he and he alone is empowered to do whatever he deems necessary to ensure "continuity of government." This could include everything from canceling elections to suspending the Constitution to launching a nuclear attack.

Congress has yet to hold a single hearing on NSPD-51.---snip

But they have plenty of time to talk about the roid' abscess on Roger Clemens' ass?
