Greg Gutfeld has declared martial law at HuffPo.

There, I said it. No more of this “let’s keep in mind her son’s sacrifice”, “let’s keep in mind her right to protest”, “let’s keep in mind that she is being taken advantage by special interest groups”. Sheehan’s recent indications that she plans to take her loon-fest on the road and set up permanent residence in Washington D.C. officially ends her grace period. She needs to be treated exactly like Michael Moore, Howard Dean, Ted Kennedy, and the rest of the left-wing loonies. In other words, we must aggressively expose her flawed logic and whacked-out ideas to combat the MSMs insatiable appetite for soundbytes (the less credible the better) that criticize the Bush administration and its policies in Iraq.
Cindy Sheehan is a complete whack-job, and not a very intelligent one at that, as anyone who has heard her interviews or read her blog posts can attest. Am I engaging in name-calling? You bet, but one need only go to her latest blog post to find evidence for that characterization. I suggest you go read it at http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/2438, because the MSM certainly isn’t going to report on it. In her post, entitled “It Was the Oil Stupid”, she criticizes President Bush for having the nerve to want to prevent terrorists from setting up training bases in Iraq and seizing oil to fund their activities. Far worse, however, she gloms on to the hurricane Katrina tragedy to make political hay. Incredibly, she attributes the damage caused by Katrina to President Bush’s environmental policies and blames Halliburton from depriving the treasury of funds to repair its aftereffects. New Orleans is under water, the Gulf coast is devastated, they haven’t even plucked all the bodies out of the water yet, and this idiot tries to insert herself into the tragedy to score points with her left-wing followers? Enough is enough. Cindy is free to put on a little tu tu and dance on her son’s grave all she wants, but I’m tired of hearing about it and the ridiculous notion that this moonbat has anything intelligent to add to the Iraq discussion.

The word “Podcast” is coming soon to a dictionary near Europe.
Now that its in, let’s start a push to get it taken back out.

The City of Houston/Harris County finally found a use for that big boob-shaped thing by Reliant Stadium that gathers dust and eats taxpayer dollars ever since Bud Adams had a hissy fit and bugged out to Tennessee:

As water continued to rise in New Orleans today, Texas officials have worked out a plan to bring up to 23,000 refugees from the Superdome to Houston’s Astrodome.
Hurricane refugees trapped in the Superdome will come to the 40-year-old Astrodome in over 500 buses under plans being put together by state and local officials.
“It will be a noble calling for the grand lady at this time in her career,” said Harris County Judge Robert Eckels. “We’ll have a group of people who are tired, who are frustrated, who are scared and who have been through a tremendous tragedy.”
Eckels said officials are not expecting to keep refugees in the stadium very long.
“I’m thinking in terms of days, maybe weeks,” he said.

If I’m not blogging, It’ll be because… um… I’ll be in Chicago. Because my grandmother’s turning 90 and the party’s there.
But there’s talk about volunteer efforts and maybe the company will get some folks together to lend a hand. They tend to do that sort of thing now and then. If so, I plan on being a part of that group when I get back.
It’ll be far more interesting than anything I’ve seen in the dome over the years. Man, did the Stones suck there or what?

Sorry for the lax posting, but I feel as humorless as a militant feminist right now. Hopefully my co-bloggers can can compensate for me until I get my groove back.
Four-day weekend coming up… just not soon enough…

12 guage in my hand.
Eyes in the trees upon me.
Must kill the monkeys!

Everybody’s favorite Huffington Post blogger, (well, everyone who’s in their Right mind) Greg Gutfeld gets interviewed on right talk radio by Ace (of Spades) on Right Talk Radio.
Listen to it at Right Talk Radio till today’s shows displace it.
I haven’t been able to listen to it. So do me a favor, listen and tell me what was said.
Update: Ok, finally was able to listen, believe it or not he sorta slams the other HuffPo bloviators.

FOX and Friends kept going on and on about how they doubt we’ll see aid from the international community, and I’ve heard other conservatives say the same.
I’m sorry, but this is nothing but a cheap shot.
There are some culture differences between America and other countries in regard to charity (when the government provides everything, you get used to waiting for the government to help your neighbor), but, come on! We’re the richest nation in the world by far and perfectly capable of helping our own. If a fire breaks out in Bill Gates house, you wouldn’t expect a fund raiser to be started for him in the ghetto? Some charitable gestures from other nations would be nice (and I’m sure some will come), but, as bad as a disaster hits us here, there are many other countries much more in need of charity than us.
That said, I’m waiting for my company to announce matching funds in charitable contributions as they have with previous disaster (the tsunami was the last one).
Blender has a large list of charities kept at the top of his page. Remember, it ain’t actually charity unless you’re hesitant to give that much.
God bless.

Over 600 Iraqi Shi’ites were killed in a stampede after someone shouted “SUICIDE BOMBER!”

Witnesses said the stampede started after someone screamed that a suicide bomber was in the crowd of pilgrims heading to the Kadhimiya mosque in northern Baghdad.
A railing on the bridge then collapsed under the crush of people, and hundreds fell to their deaths in the Tigris River about 30 meters (yards) below, CNN’s Jennifer Eccleston reported.
According to police, some people were crushed to death but most drowned. Emergency crews rushed the wounded to five hospitals as relatives at the riverbank searched for their kin.

Kinda makes Pamplona seem like child’s play in comparison, eh?

Well, I had no power for a day and a half.
Damage? Some.
House.
Lost some shingles off the roof. Some other nondescript things blew off the house. Some water came in the back door on the carpet.
Front Yard
My two trees in my front yard went visiting the neighbors. Didn’t hurt their house, actually may have done them a favor, the branches held their shingles on!
Back Yard,
Shed doors: Smashed. Smashed. Smashed.
It was a nice trampoline while it lasted.
Aftermath.
Ants, bees, ants. loooooong lines to get in Home Depot. looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong lines for gas. Super Duper Extra Unleaded Gas for like 2000 dollars a gallon.
And in the end we lived and came out pretty well compared to many who lost all their worldy possessions and others who got cast into eternity. I’ll write more about it when I get my thoughts together.
Oh and thanks for the kind words and prayers. I figured somebody would notice me missing from the blog. Just not so many.
