Sometimes I just really have problems with the one trick ponies out there…
And crap like THIS is why, this is from the Orange County Register in Kalifornia (of course)…
In the letter, Dina Kourda, on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, asks the city’s street maintenance superintendent to place the sign at the site of the crash on Walnut and Yale avenues.
And crap like THIS is why, this is from the Orange County Register in Kalifornia (of course)…
In the letter, Dina Kourda, on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, asks the city’s street maintenance superintendent to place the sign at the site of the crash on Walnut and Yale avenues.
The sign would read, “In memory of hundreds of fish who suffered and died at this spot,” to remind tractor-trailer drivers of their responsibility to the animals who are “hauled to their deaths every day,” according to the letter provided by PETA.
Ye Gods and little fishes (literally)… Do these people HAVE lives???
We have people dying because of the administration’s lack of balls, natural disasters all over the place, and THIS is all they worry about???
And in the teach em young category… Down in Florida they’ve arrested 9 people including some coaches for gambling and setting point spread on YOUTH FOOTBALL GAMES…
Article HERE. It’s not enough to bet on the pros or college games, but you want to teach your kids how to throw games/stay in the spread before they even get to High School??? Not that I’m cynical or anything, but I can’t help but wonder if they were trying to ‘grow’ some players they hoped would make it to college and/or the pros and give them an in…
And then there is THIS from Military.com; the continued waffling and evading from DOD over the terrorist shooting by Hasan at Ft. Hood…
Already facing intense scrutiny for its shifting narrative about the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Libya, the Pentagon now says it will not reclassify the Fort Hood shootings as a terrorist attack over concern about biasing the case against the gunman — an argument that is getting a mixed review from legal specialists.
Late Friday, after 160 victims of the Fort Hood, Texas, shooting called on the Pentagon to label the attack terrorism instead of workplace violence as it has for the past three years, the Department of Defense said it would not reclassify the attack.
In rejecting the victims outcry, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta’s spokesman cited concern that having the government weigh in could bias the case against Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, 42, who is awaiting trial and faces the death penalty if convicted.
When asked how Mr. Panetta plans to respond to the victims, his spokesman took a day and a half to respond, eventually emailing a statement Friday night.
“The Department of Defense is committed to the integrity of the ongoing court martial proceedings of Major Nadal Hassan and for that reason will not further characterize, at this time, the incident that occurred at Fort Hood on November 5, 2009,” Pentagon spokesman George Little said in the statement. “Major Hassan has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder, and 32 counts of attempted murder. As with all pending UCMJ matters, the accused is innocent until proven guilty.”
Pure frikkin BS…
Vote them ALL out Nov 6, Re-Elect NONE!!!

Duct Tape . . . . must find Duct Tape . . . . .
Either I am getting old or the whole country is going to hell. Sometimes I have this desire to choke these people till their eyes bug out, nothing makes sense any more.
**Ft. Hood Massacre – No, we wouldn’t want to bias the case against the jihadi who murdered fourteen of his fellow service men and women while yelling Allah u Akhbar. The USGOV should have turned the TERRORIST over to the State of Texas for their tender mercies. This would all be over and Old Sparky would win again.
**Massacre of Fish in the People’s Republik of Kalifornia. Sadly, I know where the intersection of Yale and Walnut is in Irvine and live near enough to that location to hang my head in shame. I really need to leave this state. I get my hair cut right down the street from the location where fish perished…
You know, PETA actually has some core good ideas – animals should not be abused at the whim of humans. But they spend so much time doing silly things like this that I want to scream “Will you take all that time and energy and go do something REAL?!”
Other than that, NFO, how’s your day going?
🙂
Take it easy. Life’s too short to worry about idjits.
Love the Internet, but……Sometimes, TMI for blood pressure health.
I understand California’s problems now better than ever.
Nothing surprises me any more.
Major Nidal should be strapped across the barrel a 155 SPG and the gun fired.
The Brits knew how to make a statement about traitors in the ranks.
And piss on the “spokesperson” from DOD.

The DOD/Pentagon leaves me with a VERY bad taste in my mouth. We always wondered about the collective, back in the day, but this just confirms they’ve jumped the shark.
What’s next? Memorials outside sushi bars? Bait shops?
Giving performance enhancing drugs to nine-year-olds?
Charging terrorists with workplace violence?
Oh, wait…
The world has gone crazy.
