Before I Go, A Vision of Things to Come
"We oppose the way the U.S. government tries to manage the world. ... We propose more humane methods of establishing peace,"
Mr. Ahmedinejad, speaking before a cheering Columbia audience, September 25, 2007
By the way, from what I read the first picture is of a man given 100 lashes for the drinking of beer, the second is of two students who led protests against the Islamic Republic, the last of a girl condemned of "corruption".

Sean Penn: Man Turns Nature on Himself
I read Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild while at a Border's one afternoon a couple years ago. The nonfiction story ends when the hero dies of starvation after eating some bad food in the Alaskan outback. It reminds somewhat of that guy who spent a while petting grizzlies up in Alaska, the final footage of him getting mauled to death by Nature.
Watch Out, Penn! Sounds like he really screwed over the parents in this one.

That Dhimmi-Idiot Reunion
"September 19, 2007 — A Queens teen was arrested yesterday after placing fliers in his teachers’ mailboxes asking them to convert to Islam - then made threats once he was caught, authorities said.
Yaseen Chowdhury, 17, of Woodside, wrote the fliers himself and put them in the mailboxes at the Renaissance Charter School in Jackson Heights, sources said. When confronted there about the fliers, he made unspecified verbal threats, according to the sources. Chowdhury was charged with aggravated harassment as a hate crime.
A Department of Education spokesman did not return a call seeking comment.
THE STUDENT'S RELIGION WAS NOT IMMEDIATELY KNOWN."
The caps are my emphasis....

North Dakota Nuclear Landscape...
So easy it is to forget our former adversary when suicide bombers are sending Infidels to hell and entering Paradise 2-to-3 times a day in Mesopotamia. Anyhow, this long-decommissioned site once tied into the national missile attack/defense system is still located in northeastern North Dakota, just west of Walhalla. I thought you fellahs might get a kick out of it. It's getting late, but I'll try to get you more information in the coming days.

Who's Smarter: Grandma AA or Pepe the Whiner?
William Saletan has studied the David Amodio NYU study:
The conservative case against this study is easy to make. Sure, we're fonder of old ways than you are. That's in our definition. Some of our people are obtuse; so are some of yours. If you studied the rest of us in real life, you'd find that while we second-guess the status quo less than you do, we second-guess putative reforms more than you do, so in terms of complexity, ambiguity, and critical thinking, it's probably a wash. Also, our standard of "information" is a bit tougher than the blips and fads you fall for. Sometimes, these inclinations lead us astray. But over the long run, they've served us and society pretty well. It's just that you notice all the times we were wrong and ignore all the times we were right.
In fact, that's exactly what you've done in this study: You've manufactured a tiny world of letters, half-seconds, and button-pushing, so you can catch us in clear errors and keep out the part of life where our tendencies correct yours. And now you feel great about yourselves. Congratulations. You haven't told us much about our way of thinking. But you've told us a lot about yours.

$1.4 Million Lamborghini...
I thought JJ would be first to be all over this. Has FCP turned into an old girlfriend for the lot of us? I get that feeling sometimes: kind of hanging around, sometimes ready to have a little fun here or there. Not really interested in one-another when it comes right down to it. Perhaps the spark is gone...

Opportunity to Probe Victoria's Crater
Scientists say there's some sort of bright light in the center of Victoria's crater that will shed light on her early climax. Here's an excerpt:
Opportunity reached the lip of the crater last month and scouted for possible entry points. The route scientists eventually chose calls for a straight drive down at a 15-degree incline toward the exposed layer of bright rocks.
Note: we need someone to find a beautiful pic of some chick named "Victoria," and then guard it with a little kittie. Any takers for this task?

It's Official!
It looks like the Uzbek Country and City Bumpkins are organizing under the name of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. I don't know how the Germans will handle this, but I imagine that President Karimov and Co. is going to have a field day with this outfit. Gitmo isn't even a skeeter fart compared to how the Uzbek government, ah, "detains" Islamic terrorists, potential or real. The last I heard, Karimov was still using the "How to Handle Descent" training manual, published by former-Soviet Moscow.

Steel Head Trout (take 1)
I located some steel head trout fillets yesterday along with some head-and-all Rainbow trout. Here's what I did with the steel head trout last evening. I didn't have wine or chicken stock on hand, so I used beer -- a lager -- as a substitute. Set the oven for 400 degrees (F). Boil a couple potatos for 10 minutes and set aside. Sautee onions, a shredded carrot, & celery in a pan. Once that starts turning golden brown, add a couple sprigs of fresh thyme and four cloves of crushed and chopped garlic. Add your lager (or white wine and chicken stock), and salt and pepper your fish while the vegetable/herb/beer mixture comes to a boil. Add the fish and potatos, and get the entire pan in the oven. Leave it for 30 minutes, basting the fish about 3 times. Once you take it out, crank the oven to broil. Remove the fish and potatos to a seperate cooking sheet, and put them back in the oven (that's now on broil). Golden-brown up the fish (about 5 minutes), and return to a serving platter. Ladel the vegetable mixture over the fish and potatos. Garnish with chopped parsley, and squeeze a lemon over the whole thing. Then crack an icy cold beer.
Note: there's four fillets in there, so we're in good shape. I'll gladly get another if Pepe comes back.

Maginot line up in the Alps
So why did the French build this fortification, close to the Italian border (just the other side of the mountain)? Afraid of mountain goats chasing them? Or Tex-Mex-Italians coming at them from Courmayeur? Inquiring minds need to know.

Here's the kind of passenger we hope gets seated next to us on the otherwise boring flight, and this fucking Southwest Airlines first tries kicking her off, and then tells her to cover up with a blanket. I'm calling "BULLSHIT!!!" on Southwest Airlines.
Here's what they're saying about it in San Diego.

New Hampshire GOP Forum

If this were China...
Take, for example, this story. If this were China, the University of Colorado dean would likely be put on capital trial for allowing his researchers to use the wrong fish to revitalize the greenback cutthroat trout population -- the wrong fish for two decades! We've probably got a pretty substantial surplus of deans in America anyhow.

an evening of "anti-Islam"...
...and then last evening, after I re-explained the shooting, stabbing, and throat-slitting murder of Theo van Geogh in broad daylight, this recently graduated fellah told me, "What is really going to destroy Europe is anti-Islam..." Yes, he was serious. It was impossible to restrain a retort: "Are you familiar with the synagogue bombings throughout eastern Europe, throughout Europe in general? What of the recent bombings in Great Britain? Are those merely hooligans burning the cars in Paris? And what of the Madrid bombings? The Danish newspapers seem to be the only ones willing to speak their minds on this issue, and they receive death threats because of it..." He didn't accept my little argument. His was much more grand. My ride was leaving. I left.
