OH !.. SNAP!

Saddam is dead. WE deposed him, WE caught him and WE handed him over to the Iraqi people that he abused for decades. But it was the Iraqi people, His own people, that tried and convicted him, and who put the noose around his neck and dropped his evil ass through the trap door, ending the life of this brutal dictator. Here is a link to the full video taken by an Iraqi with a cell phone. It's graphic and it's gross, but so was Saddam.

Stiffed

Former President Gerald R. Ford is dead. But before his body is even cold, the left wing media is using him to bash the Bush administration again, according to this story from the Associated Press. WASHINGTON (AP) - Former President Gerald R. Ford questioned the Bush administration's rationale for the U.S. invasion and war in Iraq in interviews he granted on condition they not be released until after his death. And who was the lucky reporter who got this scoop?... It was The Washington Post's own Bob Woodward. The same guy who helped sink Nixon with the Watergate story. Coincidence?

Snubbed

John Kerry went all the way to Iraq and couldn't even find one soldier willing to eat breakfast with him. Thank you Santa! More info at Michelle Malkin's site

I Suck!

The 2006 Weblog Awards results are in and apparently I am a loser. I came in 7th out of ten blogs, and the winner in my catagory is a blog called File It Under. But I'm happy to report that those guys are NOT the bunch of snot nosed, ass grabbing goobers that I may have lead most of my readers and all those Japanese conventioneers I met in Las Vegas to believe. But Seriously, I want to thank everyone who took the time to vote for The Bodie Specter. I really appreciate your support. And Congratulations to File It Under for kicking my ass in this year's competition.

Help Yourself

The recent storms in the Pacific Northwest have resulted in wind, rain, snow and loss of electrical power. But the sad thing is that, what should be considered rather simple weather emergencies, have resulted in several deaths. Today there is a news story about 100 people suffering from Carbon Monoxide poisoning from doing stupid things like running their generators indoors. Whatever happened to 'common sense'? Even if you don't have any, there are always the warning stickers telling you NOT TO DO THAT! I remember when public schools would show films that would try to teach kids the dangers of "Reefer Madness" or to "Duck & Cover" at the first sign of an atomic blast. Many of these old films are considered 'camp' and ridiculed today. I think the basic idea of trying to teach a few survival skills to children is still a good idea. But instead, today you're more likely to find books about families with two mommies or courses in building Self Esteem in our schools. People today are so addicted to technology that any blip in their daily routine can send them into a panic. And if you try to teach your own kids a few survival tips your neighbors will probably label you as some doomsday kook. Unless of course you're talking about the doomsday of Global Warming.

Oh Lord, It's Hard To Be Humble

When Push Comes To Shove

Powerline, using JFK's bold move in the Cuban Missle Crisis as an example, is calling on the President to declare War on Iran. "If you do this, will the country back you? Not all of it. The liberals are too far gone. But half the country--your half--will, and maybe more. It is, after all, a little hard to explain why we should not respond to acts of war committed against us by a hostile nation that has vowed to destroy us." Will he have the balls?... will WE? Honey, where did I put that radiation detector?

What Goes Around...

My wife is learning to Hula Hoop. That's pretty cool in and of itself. And since she's really starting to get into it, I figured that I would buy her a cool one. So I've been checking online and doing a lot of research, following web-links, etc. And I finally settled on one and ordered it along with an instructional video, to the tune of about $80.00. I just got a confirmation email and it's on the way. YAY! Now let me be clear... I am fully aware that a lot of people who are into "Hooping" are usually tilting a bit the the left, if you know what I mean and I think you do. Hooping goes hand in hand with a healthy lifestyle, herbs, holistic medicine and other crap like that. Many of the Hooping websites go on and on about the "spirituality" and "inner peace" that comes with getting in tune with your body or your "inner child". But while following these links and doing this research, I beleive I've stumbled upon the dark side of Hooping. It seems some of these Hoopers are also Haters. That's right folks, while they are talking about Peace, Love and Understanding, they sometimes let it slip that they also Hate George W. Bush. GASP! I ran across this quote on one of those Hooping sites, by the very person who will soon be spending my hard-earned $80.00. “I wouldn't put it past George Bush to outlaw the hula-hoop. He’s so afraid of love and beauty and eroticism and peace.” –HOOP GIRL Excuse me? This is what I like to call the "Dixie Chick Syndrome". Is there something that snaps in the liberal brain that makes them say stupid things that might later be put into print and possibly affect future sales of their product? Are those people really living in such a bubble that they are unaware that there are a lot of us who may disagree with them? They also don't seem to understand that they can't hide this stuff on the Internets (sic). They can thank Al Gore for that. For example, I was on yet another Hooping website and followed the links to find the father of her baby's MySpace site. His list of "Heros" includes this comment: MAYOR RAY NAGIN of New Orleans, for standing up to the presiding crackhead of the gov't...way to go...fucking vacationing bastard...the mayor is right...its all YOUR fault... So my advice to these folks is to stop worrying so much about "Big Brother" invading your privacy and concentrate more on zipping your virtual fly. In the meantime, I think I'll start making hula hoops for the rest of us. But of course, mine will only be able to spin to the right.

Put A Sock In It !

What is it with these newspapers going out of their way to divulge sensitive information about our nations defenses? Granted, this information was probably known to a lot of people already, but we are AT WAR right now. You may or not agree with why we are at war, but that is no reason to spill the beans at every turn, and add yet another piece of the puzzle for those who want to destroy us all. The Seattle Times just published an article telling the whole world exactly where to find 25 percent of our Nuclear weapons. ~ Story "Nearly one-quarter of America's 9,962 nuclear weapons are now assigned to the Bangor submarine base on Hood Canal, 20 air miles northwest of downtown Seattle. This makes Bangor the largest nuclear weapons storehouse in the United States, and possibly the world." They even provide a map for any terrorists who may be geographically challenged. The silver lining of this story is, if the bad guys are able to capitalize on this information, the next election in this state will probably be won by the conservative, albeit mutant, voters of THIS side of the Cascade mountain range. And YES, Captain Obvious... I do realize I am spreading the same information, but somebody has to call attention to the treason here. Via FARK

FARK ME!

So the Weblog Awards polls are open and the voting has begun. But I checked a while ago and I'm getting my virtual ass kicked by a couple other blogs. Where's the love people? I've kissed all your babies and promised everybody a chicken in every pot. C'mon! But then I noticed that the voting for Best Online Community has mobilized behind FARK.com and sent the votes through the roof. As of this writing they are at 11043 votes, while the next closest in that catagory is The Daily KOS with 1594 votes. DAMN! But then it hit me !... (forehead slap) Why not ask *beg* those same motivated voting FARKERS to cast a few extra votes for The Bodie Specter? I mean, as long as they were already motivated and in the vote-casting mood anyways, why not? So maybe they will come and rescue me from those other sand-kicking blog bullies in my own lowly catagory. Only time will tell. But just in case, Welcome fellow Farkers!

Still Smokin

Has-been actor James Brolin, the current husband of Barbara Streisand, yesterday became the latest celebrity figure to publicly question the official story behind 9/11 while he appeared as a guest on The View. I noted back in March that Charlie Sheen has the same theory. These guys must be smoking from the same bong. Brolin is known for roles that promote such conspiracy theories as a faked space mission in Capricorn One, which co-starred Streisand's former husband, Elliott Gould and role model O.J. Simpson. The View seems to be the latest must-do show for celebrities who want to try and dig their careers out of the dumpster by promoting their twisted ideas or bashing the President. Jerry Springer is looking better every day.

Highway To Hell

FDR gave America a "New Deal". While many think this was a good thing, other's argue that it prolonged the Great Depression and may have even led to WWII. Now that the Democrats are in control of the House and Senate, you may be wondering what they meant when they called for a "New Direction For America". This paragraph from a story in today's Jerusalem Post should give you some idea what their "New Direction" really is. "Meanwhile, sources close to the PA government claimed that Hamas representatives recently held talks with officials from the US Democratic Party at an undisclosed location." Such a Deal!

Obsession: The Movie

We just watched a very frightening documentary on DVD. OBSESSION: RADICAL ISLAM'S WAR AGAINST THE WEST I want to encourage everyone who hasn't seen this to SEE IT NOW! These people want to kill you and destroy western civilization. They are following the same path to Global Domination that the Nazis did. In fact, the word 'Jihad' does not mean "Holy War" as you may have heard. It translates more accurately as "struggle". Adolf Hitler titled his book "Mein Kampf", or "My Struggle". Curiously, or maybe not, "Mein Kampf" is still a big seller at Amazon.com How long will we continue to stick our heads in the sand? I believe that the information in this documentary is so important that I am putting a permanent link to the website in the left sidebar. And by the way, I don't take a cent from any organization or cause I choose to endorse on this website. Watch OBSESSION: RADICAL ISLAM'S WAR AGAINST THE WEST

Sharia Idol

THIS is 'Reality TV'. Only these people don't just vote you off the island... If you screw up here, this guy will chop off your head with a sword. This video interview with the official Head Chopper of Saudi Arabia reminds me of Matt Lauer interviewing George Clooney. These people think nothing of whacking your head off if you commit 'an offense'. And this guy is like a 'Rock Star' to Muslims. "From an interview on Lebanon’s LBC TV (via MEMRI TV), Saudi executioner Abdallah Al-Bishi discusses his calling and shares his favorite decapitation techniques." Is this the future of American TV? Because if you're NOT a Muslim, Then you've probably committed 'an offense' already. Hat Tip - LGF
