One of the guys @ work is sick. He said
"Socialized healthcare: hey, if I want to share my health with the poor people, I'll cough on them!"
and then he went in to a laughing/coughing fit.

Prostitute.
I just heard that the woman female (whose name I disdain to mention but you have heard of her) turned down free 24-hour child care for all of her 14 children. A charity offered to care for her spawn and she turned them down because they were unwilling to make a reality TV show out of it.
Also, she's rumored to be trying to pawn off a video of herself giving birth to all 8 of the most recent persons unfortunate enough to be her children.
Both of the above are disgusting illustrations of why she is a filthy whore.
. . . in case you were wondering what I thought of the subject.

Mexicans Fear Threat to Way of Life From Growing Gringo Population
From wfaa.com:
The mexicans are concerned that their culture is being diluted because of all the gringos moving to may-hee-ko. Well boo-[deleted]-hoo a single bitter tear rolls down my battle-scarred cheek.
It's almost like a parody. Is somebody in Dallas trying to make a sick joke, writing things like this?
. . . google up the reconquista movement and you'll see that this set of concerns is mirrored North of the border, except with Mexican and American reversed in the above quote.
You've GOT to be kidding me.

"Not everyone is rolling out the welcome mat to Americans. Many Mexicans complain about the rapid growth of the American population in their neighborhoods, the threat they see to Mexican culture and language, and the possible drain on Mexico's inexpensive health care."

Lest We Forget The Enemy:
From Jeff Cooper, circa 2003:
So the next time some [deleted] starts trying to give you claptrap about how we don't have electric service back up to sadaam-era levels, mention that the reason, in part, is that the enemy stole the power lines, blew up the substations, and knocked down the towers.
Then ask the wingnut (especially if they are a female wingnut) if they would prefer to still have free standing rooms with large windows, purpose-built for raping (potentially innocent/unconvicted) women prisoners as a form of entertainment for the guards. If they deny the rape rooms' existence, ask them if the holocaust was a hoax, too. Their answer in the affirmative is a positive indicator that you will never get them to see reason, and you should at this point walk away.
Reports from the front indicate that the Arabs cut down all their power lines in order to steal the copper, and then complain bitterly that power is out. Nation building, indeed, has its problems.

OMG GFCI!!!!!1!?
Last night I went out to the shop to work on my cylinder head port & polish project. My tool wouldn't turn on.
?
After stupidly flipping the switch a few more times, I broke out the voltmeter. No power from the supply. Hmm . . . No power TO the supply. Power strip is . . . plugged in. Hmm . . . I installed this GFCI outlet right here a few months ago and it's never been tripped; hey why is this RESET button standing proud? Push that. . . click! Tool works! Here we go!
My Darling Wife told me this morning (of course when I was in the office) that the outlets in the bathrooms were not working. I told her about the GFCI having been tripped and reset. She tried an outlet and it worked, go figure.
She had done her hair a couple of days ago in the living room and I thought she had just wanted to do it there.
Why wouldn't you think to mention that the power outlet wasn't working? Oh well, she was busy. It's fixed now, anyway.

You Using Your Own Password To Unlock Evidence Is Not Self-Incriminating?
How? I'm with the ACLU on this one, and I hope it is overturned on appeal:
Sleazy guy w/ bad kinds of stuff on his computer is forced on appeal to use his PGP key to unlock his laptop to give prosecutors access to his hard drive.
They could use a software tool on loan from the FBI or DEA or somebody to crack it, I'm sure. Instead they want the defendant to enter his pass key into his computer, so the prosecution can have at the evidence they want. How is this not self-incriminating? If this is not overturned, we're all screwed.
. . . of course, the innocent have nothing to fear, right Citizen Obama?

Racists Are Stupid
Boortz has aptly expressed one of the reasons BHO has been rah-rah'd in the mainstream press even though he is being dum with your money
Like the banks and auto industry: He is too big to fail. That is, if he is allowed to fail, then it paints all future black presidential candidates with a broad brush of Fail.
Now this is just stupid. I immediately thought of Colin Powell, Condy Rice, Clarence Thomas . . . all these were/are pretty successful, and also happen to be black. If you think Barack Obama failing to convert the USA to Socialism or Fascism somehow reflects negatively on Dr. Alan Keyes, you are a fool. Not all ___________ (fill in the skin-color minority) are the same. To think otherwise is racism
Just sayin'.

Motorcycle Riding: Now Marginally Less Dangerous!
I love riding motorcycles. I love motorcycling for the same reason bullfighting is a great sport: It is an exhilarating, thrilling, and, dare I say it, fun, demonstration (if only to self) of machismo. Every ride is a potential adventure, with a man shaking his fists in the face of Death, controlling more power than necessary at velocities to make your hair stand out (straight backwards, if you have any left). I have often said, "motorcycles are so dangerous as to be ill-conceived as a method of transportation" and I mean it. They make for great racing, and if you haven't ridden down a beach or a twisty road on two wheels, you have missed out.
Still, I don't ride these days.
You see, I also love my family. They depend on me and the income I provide. A paralyzed or badly-broken daddy/husband is arguably worse than a dead one, and all of the above are possible when you crash off a bike in the same circumstances that leave maybe missing paint and zero injuries in a car.
Twice, when I was in Spain, I had my pretty face saved by a full helmet. If you ride a motorcycle without at least a full helmet, you are asking for it, IMO, but everyone has his own opinion and personal safety standards. I am a big fan and proponent of a full complement of safety gear for riders: full helmet, leathers, gloves & boots. Every. Single. Time. At a minimum, a helmet, jacket, jeans, gloves, and closed shoes should be worn when going ANYWHERE on a motorcycle, even around the parking lot.
Well, for those who do ride, I present a pair of high-yield investments in your own safety. In addition to a SNELL-certified helmet, you can (hopefully soon) have the 2-wheel equivalent of a HANS device. This restraint from BMW's Motorrad will prevent you breaking your neck, I suppose right up till the point your head pops clean off. But cooler than that (and less-reusable, unfortunately) is the Dainese D-Air Suit
image from autoblog.com
Unlike the Airbag Jacket which waits for you to go flying (activated by a clip-on like the kill switch on a PWC), the D-Air suit has gyroscopes and impact sensors to get the bags inflated before you ever hit the ground. The video shows the suit inflating at just about the same time you can tell the rider is definitely going to lose it.
This is a major advancement in motorcycle safety. I put it on a par with seatbelts for cars. I can still see (especially at race speeds) trauma to the extremities because you can't always tuck 'em in tight. At least, if you are just rolling along, you won't have your brains beaten in. The guy in the video would have been laying there moaning without the suit, I think. As you can see, he popped right up and started hooping & hollering & jumping around hugging everyone.
The Dainese D-Air suit: coming soon to a motorcycle racing sanctioning body rulebook near you! Go get one!

Madness @ Work!
Sometimes I really enjoy working at a small company. One of the guys across the room (retired Major, USAF) called me over to show me the following ranger slogan on a motor enclosure, as the name for a Japanese company. I LOL'd, then I asked him, if you dropped it on someone's head, would that be "Death From Above?" He LOL'd and I went to make coffee (yes coffee at 14:30, what?).
Blogoversary: I Missed My Own?!
Oh well. Please celebrate the occasion by reviewing the Disclaimer that would not have been necessary 50 51 years ago:
Nothing on this blog is intended to be hateful. If you see it and think you are seeing something hateful, you are reading it wrong or taking the wrong meaning. Just because I may disagree with and denigrate you, does not mean I hate you. It just means you are wrong.

Some of the things discussed may be dangerous. Do not attempt to do the things I do.
If you think I told you to do something illegal, you are reading it wrong. Always obey the law.
Edit/update: I have several "People Who Should Be Shot" postings. Note: this means "should be shot by the .gov in an ideal world" and not "should be shot by you personally." Don't.
