I’m always more willing to buy from a commercial that makes me laugh, rather than an annoying one.
I dedicate this to all the guys with Comb-Overs.
Tumbling Tumbleweeds March 23, 2006
Posted by Retired Geezer in Idaho, Uncategorized.add a comment
The wind has been blowing about 40 mph all morning. The Tumbleweeds race across the 100 acre field like Michael Moore heading for the Old Country Buffet.
This is what my neighbor’s house looks like after the Tumbleweeds gather for a meeting.
She had to kick her way out of her house to get to her car.

Blogs could be shut down 60 days pre-election March 21, 2006
Posted by Retired Geezer in Politics.3 comments
Saw this on the GOA site.
You McCain supporters might want to read this.
“…Wednesday, March 15, 2006
The U.S. House of Representatives will vote, as early as Thursday, on legislation introduced by Texas Congressmen Jeb Hensarling and Ron Paul. This bill (H.R. 1606) will exempt the Internet from regulation under federal ‘electioneering’ laws.
Unless the Hensarling-Paul bill is successful, many major blogs and web sites could be shut down for 60 days before any general election — and for 30 days prior to any primary — making it much more difficult for groups like Gun Owners of America to criticize anti-gun candidates.
How did we arrive at such a dismal state?
You may remember that, a half-decade ago, Senator John McCain (R-AZ) pushed a McCain-Feingold bill which, as enacted, prohibits organizations from engaging in major ‘broadcast communications’ which even mention a candidate in a favorable or unfavorable light within 60 days of a general election (30 days of a primary).
Senate Republicans rolled over — and George Bush signed the bill — based on the assumption that the Supreme Court would surely save them from their unconstitutional legislation. But, in McConnell v. Federal Election Commission, 540 U.S. 93 (2003), the Supreme Court, by a five-to-four decision, upheld McCain-Feingold, almost in its entirely…”

What Are Sex Zombies? March 20, 2006

‘Are You Conservative’ doesn’t post much, but when she does, it’s worth the wait.
(As Seen on Oprah)
“…What Are Sex Zombies?
Sex Zombies are people whose morbid preoccupation with sex becomes so consuming, it overshadows all other aspects of being.
And, apparently, they’re okay with that…”
Islam and Homosexuality March 20, 2006
Posted by Retired Geezer in Religion.3 comments
The Leftists might want to re-think their embracing of Islam as the Religion of Peace.
All the Real Christians I know, have compassion for Gays.
Here’s the Gateway Pundit’s take on the situation:
“…Looking at Saudia Arabian society, besides the public floggings, the life of a gay man is a closeted dream:
Security police arrested the men on March 10 at a private party held in a rented hall in Jeddah. The government-affiliated newspaper Al-Wifaq reported that the men at the party were dancing and “behaving like women.”
On or about March 26, a Jeddah court, meeting in a closed session in which defense attorneys were excluded, sentenced 31 of the men to prison for six months to one year, and to 200 lashes each, for unreported offenses. Four other men received two years’ imprisonment and 2,000 lashes…”

Hey I like Big-Macs as well as the rest of you.

Ten Commandments Explained March 19, 2006
Posted by Retired Geezer in Humor, Religion.add a comment
Ever wonder why some people object to the Ten Commandments? Well, it’s because they don’t read them the same way that you do.
Rodger has explained the difference for us: Read the Whole List
“…The term ‘Ten Commandments’ came up in today’s homily, and it reminded me how I simply cannot understand why anybody would object to their display? I began thinking of people I know, who get their panties bunched up over this subject, and what I think their objections would be…”
..
Commandment:1 – I am the Lord thy God and thou shalt not have any strange gods before me.
Why They Hate It:
I have an IQ of 168, a degree in sociology, and I don’t believe in Santa.. You’re not the boss of me.
7 – Thou shalt not steal.
Do you mean shoplifting from the Wal-Mart oppressor? Or ripping oil from the Earth Mother?

OK Funseekers, time to post your Favorite Song Intros, or perhaps they should be called the Most Distinctive Song Intros.
We’re talking about Intros so Distinctive that you know the name of the song within the first five notes (or 3 seconds).
My friends and I called this game, “Stump the Jock”
You know, like Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water”.
Dun Dun Duhhhh
Dun Dun Di Duhhh
Dun Dun Duhhh
Dun Duhhh*
Like the Stones, “Satisfaction”. (that was a two-note gimme)
Like the Kinks:
“You Really Got Me” or “All Day and All The Night”.
Leave your nominations in the comments.

Anti-Tank Missle March 16, 2006
Posted by Retired Geezer in Military, Video.add a comment
I was cleaning my HD and found this video.
Supposedly it’s a LOSAT, Line of Sight Anti-Tank Missle.
Here’s the Wiki entry:
LOSAT (Line-of-Sight Anti-Tank) is a U.S. surface-to-surface missile system designed by Lockheed Martin to defeat tanks and other individual targets. Instead of using a High Explosive Anti-Tank warhead like other anti-tank missiles, the LOSAT employs a solid Tungsten Kinetic energy penetrator to punch through armor, much like the APFSDS (Armour Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot) rounds used by U.S. tanks. The LOSAT weapon system is very light; it is designed to be mounted onto a Humvee while allowing the vehicle to remain air-portable. With a speed of 5,000 ft/s (5,500 km/h or 1,520 m/s), the LOSAT is the world’s fastest missile.
Wiki says it was discontinued in 2004.

Very Brave (ex-) Muslim Woman. March 14, 2006

Ace has all the links about this Brave Woman.
“…Remember the brave (ex-) Muslim woman who so forcefully condemned Muslim backwardness, extremism, and violence on Al Jazeera?
She gives her first interview since then to Israeli National News. With her thick accent, it’s a little hard to understand, though.
And the New York Times profiles her, actually writing a pointed headline:
For Muslim Who Says Violence Destroys Islam, Violent Threats
In the spirit of noting that extremist Muslims reacted violently to cartoons suggesting they were, in fact, violent…”

“…And that’s another important part of my philosophy: interference with normal government operations. Not only will I refuse to do my job, I’ll make sure Congress doesn’t do its job, either. Same with the Supreme Court. And on my first day in Washington, I promise to fire the entire cabinet, the Joint Chiefs, and White House staff. Then I’ll call a press conference and see how long it takes the White House press corps to realize I’m not going to show up — that it’s all an elaborate practical joke. I will refuse to appoint new judges and ambassadors. I will veto every piece of legislation Congress sends my way, and I will hire goons to sabotage the cars of individual Congressmen to keep them from showing up and over-riding my vetoes…”
Islam ~ All You Need to Know March 14, 2006
Posted by Retired Geezer in Religion.add a comment
I just discovered this essay. It was posted back in 2004 but it’s just as important to read today.
“…A certain “Joe”, who took issue with this tirade, inferred from it that I wanted to herd Muslims into crematoria, and suggested further that, if I were a Christian, I must have missed the part about loving my enemies.
Joe is typical of a particular species: the custardhead, who wills away that which must be done because it grates on his tender sensibilities. To a custardhead, the unpleasantness involved in shunning those who intend the rest of us harm is too disturbing to be borne. He’d much rather close his eyes and hope things will get better all by themselves.
When a militant movement that believes it has the right to rule all others is on the march, things will not “get better” by themselves. Only persons of low mentality could fail to see that.
If ostracizing those who believe vile and demented things is too unpleasant to contemplate, then what of the step that would be necessary after they’ve grown numerous enough and strong enough to act on their beliefs?…”
