Idiot Watch

Before I headed out to the Denton VA clinic yesterday morning, I was feeling sorta, you know, bitter about the way things are going here in North Texas.... so I decided to drop by the ole church and then a quick scan of the sale counter at "We Be Gunz" (formerly, Fred's Gunz R Us).

Being a typically-bred white guy, I felt quite a bit better by the time I got on I-35.

Fiddling While the Corn Burns:

Food prices rose four percent in '07... compared to the 2.5 percent annual rise for the past 15 years.

Most of this has to do with the enviro-commies who threaten to ruin our country and end America as we know it.

Above is the reality of ethanol-for-fuel scam... click ear to enlarge....

We are literally burning our food... talk about the execution of the your golden egg goose.

If you're an "environmentalist" as is commonly understood these days... you are an idiot and a dangerous person to boot.

Second hand tobacco smoke does not kill anyone. Period. Deal with it.

Silicone breast implants do not kill previously slim-statured woman.

Y2K was a hoax, and the CIA didn't bomb the levees to kill black folks in the 9th Ward.

There is no man-made "global warming"; Algore is a lying, rat bastard, con man and you're an even bigger idiot than he is for believing a single word he says

News flash: (AP) The FDA will ban Inhalers using chloro-fluorocarbons to dispense the drug albuterol will be banned at the end of 2008.  Chlorofluorocarbons, once widely used as aerosol propellants in a variety of products, have been removed from use because they can damage the Earth's protective ozone layer.

Never mind that inhaler-delivered albuterol is the medication of choice for preventing asthma attacks, the "environment" is far more important that your grandchildren.

But what about the left's mantra... "It's for the children"?  That only applies to oh-so-necessary Styrofoam helmets and dangerous playground equipment... and the game of tag.

Oh...asthma kills 4,000 each year and asthma is indicated as “contributing factor” for nearly 7,000 other deaths each year, but when it comes to the environment... your dead kid doesn't matter.

Hillary up "20 points" in Pennsylvania...? Uh-huh... I believe that about as much as the sniper fire story.

Speaking of shots... The Pantsuit was wandering around Indiana the other day when she just dropped in Bronko’s Restaurant for a beer. Her advance team didn't prepare her for a blue collar bar... where she was amazed that the beer came out of something called a "tap". 

Anyway, the barkeep asked her if she wanted a shot which caused her to grab for her Kevlar.

She was informed that a "shot" often went with a beer in establishments where the patrons cling to the Bible and deer rifles... she immediately relaxed and renewed her member-ship in Ducks Unlimited.

The barkeep axed her her poison; she pondered her vast knowledge of whiskey... and made it "Royal Crown"... a Canadian spirit..

Well, the advance people can't cover all contingencies.

McCain must chuckle every night fore he takes his Geritol and hits the rack.

A student of military strategy, he knows not to interfere with an enemy in the midst of committing sepaku.

Something called an Alicia Keys has apparently chimed in from the orbiting Mother Ship...

According to the great cable network called Black Entertainment Network, it be da white people who invented rap:

The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter said: "'Gangsta rap' was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. 'Gangsta rap' didn't exist."

Keys, 27, said the bicoastal feud between slain rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. was fueled "by the (American) government and the media, to stop another great black leader from existing."

--She didn't say the of them -- the shot-nine-times Six Tupac or the 400-pound diabetes-bound fat boy, B.I.G.--was destined to become the "great black leader".

She went on to say she's read several Black Panther autobiographies and wears a gold AK-47 pendant around her neck "to symbolize strength, power and killing 'em dead," according to an interview in the Blender Magazine's May issue.

So am I to assume that the "ems" she wants killed dead are government officials or just white government officials?

Of course all that's true, but she, like Mariah Carey, claims to be a black person... now that strains credulity.

BTW... here's Mirah's "street cred"--she's the child of Irish/African-American/ Venezuelan parents; baby daddy is Alfred Roy Carey, an aeronautical engineer, and her mother is Patricia Hickey, a former mezzo-soprano New York City opera singer and freelance vocal coach.

No wonder she know the hood so good.

At least it's a (slight) improvement over "betray us"....

When limp-wristed men (sic) on the left find themselves bereft of anything other than ad Hominem attacks to justify their existence on this planet, they turn into "Gay Eyes for the Straight General."

Some despicable fagot named Matthew DeBord, writing in the LA Times the other day, is this post's exhibit #1 of my reasons to hate a large number of my countrymen:

"Gen. David H. Petraeus may be as fabulous a military professional as the United States has developed in recent years, but let's face it, girlfriend - when it comes to the Fashion Theater, this showy soldier needs to call in the Makeover Marines. Oh snap!" DeBord writes.

I'll not be driven to defend the general's decorations to someone who used to dress up in his mother's bra and panties... suffice to say Petraeus' awards are typical of someone of his rank, assignment and long service.

And if you remember, Lt. Col. Ollie North was ridiculed during the Iran-Contra hearings for wearing his uniform including the ribbons for the Silver Star, Bronze Star w/"V" device, and two Purple Hearts. Egregiously distant from the real America, his detractors did not understand that when you're on active duty, you wear the uniform and the ribbons... not a sport coat.

More from Miss Priss' "Petraeus' 'ribbon creep'" column:

• "...he sits in gaudy Army regalia, four stars glistening and glittering on each shoulder, nine camp rows of chintzy ribbons on his left breast, and various other brooches, patches and appliques scattered across the rest of the available real estate on his uniform."
• He goes on:" That's a lot of martial bling, especially for an officer who hadn't seen combat until five years ago. Girlfriend, I've seen more violent hand-to-hand action during a Jimmy Choo clearance sale on Rodeo Drive."
• He equates Gen. Petraeus with "G.I. Joe" and "Buck Turgidson" (the mad general in movie 'Dr. Strangelove".)
• He refers to Gen. George Patton as the "Elton John of the 2nd Armored Division."
• Here's what he thinks of our young troops now fight to save his sorry ass which ironically contains his head: "My guess is that most Iraq war veterans end up returning their medals to H&M for cash credit or gift cards, or bring them out at dinner parties as ironic conversation pieces."
• "Memo to Petraeus: When you're making the case for more patriotic gore, go easy on the glitter."

DeBord signs off the lengthy column with: "Matthew DeBord covers military strategy, wine, fashion, interior decorating, geopolitics, and Barbie collecting for the Los Angeles Times."

It's easy to pick out the two subjects about which he's lying.

And just to prove the reports of his death are only born of optimism.... Dick Cavette, in Friday's edition of The East Coast Pravda--the slowly sinking NY Times-ridicules Petraeus.

Cavette channels the late Mort Sahl's comment about Gen. William Westmoreland's military decorations... "Finishing the detailed list, Mort observed, “Very impressive!” Adding, “If you’re twelve.”

Best known for his work with scientists researching SMS (Small Man Syndrome), Cavette takes on the general's vocabulary and intellect: "Petraeus commits a different assault on the listener. And on the language. In addition to his own pedantic delivery, there is his turgid vocabulary. It reminds you of Copspeak, a language spoken nowhere on earth except by cops and firemen when talking to 'Eyewitness News'.”

The Fiery Filipina, Michelle Malkin, observes: "Yes indeedy, Dick, where does this Petraeus fellow get off pretending like he’s some sort of intellectual? Poor clod only has a Ph.D. in International Relations from Princeton University."

Meanwhile dozens of lesser known traitors continue to aid and comfort our enemies by attacking Marine recruiters in the streets of Baghdad by the Bay.

Sweet Baby Jesus, is there no way, legal or extra, to exchange millions of Americans-in-name-only for others of my choosing?... like the little guy who stopped a column of Chi-Com tanks in Tienanmen Square with two shopping bags, (unless he was executed), the tribesmen who protected and saved Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell in Afghanistan, or the Iraqi who risked his life and his family's by contacting our Marines with the location of Pvt. Jessica Lynch?

I'll see your Barbara Streisand and raise you one tough Tibetan monk.   

Like Medal of Honor Recipient Franklin "Coleslaw" Miller once wrote to me: " You and I know it's the little people who were the real heroes." He was talking about the Mongs, Montagnards and indigenous Chinese who fought and died with us in Vietnam, while tens of thousands of young Americans, including a future President, were pathetic, draft-dodging cowards.

Yeah, gimme those people any day.
