Jail-break FAIL!!!

If the idea was to escape from jail, then you're doing it wrong....

CLIFTON, Tenn. -- The state Department of Correction said two inmates escaped a minimum security prison in southwest middle Tennessee on Nov. 7 to steal cigarettes before returning, WSMV-TV in Nashville reported.

Adam Garland and Michael Queener are accused of escaping through a window in their cell at the Turney Center Annex and crawling under a fence.

While out, the men stole cigarettes and tobacco products from a convenience store before returning to the prison by going back through the window that they had escaped from, officials at the corrections department said.

If having years potentially added to your relatively short sentences in a minimum-security jail is worth a pack of smokes, perhaps you should take up a different hobby than cigarettes.

The true story of Thanksgiving

I originally posted this a year ago and thought it was worth revisiting....


I know Thanksgiving is a month away but, an issue that involves turkey day is before us in this election, so I thought I'd touch on it a tad early.

Rush talked about this on his show today and I've heard it many times before in various media but, the link between the Pilgrims and the current question of socialism that we face in this election is interesting. As I've pointed out many times before, the crap with which the government indoctrination centers(public schools) fill your kid's head about history, government, and society is mostly politically correct garbage. Thanksgiving is a perfect example. If you asked 100 public high-school graduates what the Pilgrims were thankful for, 99 of them, assuming they could find the US on a map of North America, would tell you the Pilgrims were thankful to the Indians for saving their wretched, miserable lives. Here's how the basic tale goes, at least in most public schools:

The interloping, white Pilgrims rudely invaded the peaceful serenity of Earth-loving, native-Americans(the original environmentalists), bringing with them disease, pestilence, and tooth decay. Not to mention wastefulness of Earth's precious resources, the assumption of white superiority over dark-skinned people, and syphilis(and that's just what your first grader learns). The Pilgrims didn't know how to hunt, fish, or garden so half of them died during the first winter(and rightly so because they were such bad people to the quaint, Indians). During the following Spring and Summer, the kind, benevolent Indians taught the stupid, lazy white Pilgrims to provide for themselves. After the bountiful harvest at the end of the summer, the Pilgrims invited the Indians over for a feast to thank them for saving their decrepit, worthless, miserable lives...after which the Indians were either killed or rounded up and put on reservations and made to become alcoholics and failures because the white man didn't want any more trouble from them. And that's the story of Thanksgiving that your first grader no doubt can recount to you almost verbatim.

Well, it didn't exactly happen like that. William Bradford, the first governor of Plymouth, wrote about the first colony, it's troubles, and about it's first Thanksgiving. You can read an excellent account here, or in many other places on the web.

What teachers always leave out of the story of the Pilgrims, is that they attempted collectivism, i.e. socialism for the first time in America, right there in Plymouth. Bradford assigned every family that remained after the first deadly winter, a plot of land. Every family had to take whatever they grew and put in a collective common area from which every family could take what it needed. What Bradford very quickly learned was that in the absence of self-interest, the Pilgrims were a bunch of shiftless degenerates who sat around waiting to get some of what everybody else produced, to the point that barely anything got produced at all. Collectivism/socialism had failed utterly and completely, because where's the incentive to work hard, and be efficient and productive if the fruits of your labor will be taken away and given to others who haven't worked as hard, if at all?

So Bradford re-issued plots of land to each family and whatever they grew on that plot of land was theirs to keep. Soon, with the incentive of self-interest, the Pilgrims were producing more food than they could possibly eat. So they set up trading posts to facilitate the mutually beneficial, free exchange of goods between each other and with the Indians. Their ingenuity, efficiency, and productivity produced so much food that they hosted a feast, and invited the Indians to join them, to thank God, not the Indians for their lives and their bounty.

See, that's not the politically correct tale of Thanksgiving collectivism that unionized school marms like to teach. Like William Bradford, Obama wants to create here in America, a collectivist utopia where many people share in the bounty produced by the few. But unlike Bradford, Obama does not have the wisdom to see that it is doomed to failure....and there's a lot more at stake this time around.

Worst police sketch artist.....ever

Apparently there's a reason you've never heard of a single, famous Bolivian artist. It's because they can't draw.

This is a Bolivian police sketch artist's rendering based on a description given by a witness to a crime. Amazingly, the suspect was picked up a few days after this picture was circulated. The story is here but, it doesn't say whether the collar was because of the picture or a just a blind, dumb coincidence. The perp couldn't have been that hard to find regardless....I mean how many dudes are walking around without ears?

Adam Lambert's on the fast-track to obscurity

Talentless, reality-show creation Adam Lambert shocked the TV audience with homo-erotic performance then, stupidly accused complainers of discrimination....

During the closing act, the openly gay singer simulated sex on stage with a back-up dancer and kissed a male musician on the mouth.

Lambert told US network CNN that the kiss was "in the moment".

ABC said the number of complaints was "moderate". The show's producers have declined to comment.

Lambert, who performed his debut single For Your Entertainment, said that if people had been upset by his performance that it is a "form of discrimination and it's too bad".

It's a little soon in Lambert's "career" to be resorting to hyper-sexual performances and accusing critics of discrimination. If he has any talent, which he might, it gets washed away with the in-your-face homosexuality of the performances. Say what you want about the sexual hypocrisy of Americans but, TV audiences are just not ready for the mainstreaming of prime-time, gay smooching and simulated oral sex. When you're already, in your first major performance, resorting to shock-value to get people to notice you, and then cry discrimination when people don't like it, I doubt you'll be very long-lived in the music industry....thankfully for the rest of us.

Crotchgrab-apalooza at the AMA's

Why are musicians so obsessed with their own genitalia that they feel the need to constantly touch themselves during performances? In case you missed it, here's dimwitted hack, Janet Jackson doing her impersonation of her pervert brother....better grab a vomit bucket....



Is it just that they know their music is shoddy and second-rate so they resort to gross hypersexualization to get the cretins in the crowd fired up? This is prime-time TV. Kids are watching for heaven's sake! As if seeing artist after artist fondle themselves wasn't disgusting enough, we had to listen to flaming jackass Perez Hilton make vulgar "jokes" about anonymous sex in the men's room backstage....I almost wretched.

In case you didn't realize it, the only musicians that don't hold their genitals on national TV are the country music stars. They aren't yet contributing to the debasement of polite society. Except for the country acts, last night's show was entirely unwatchable.

Helicopter parents are idiots!

This is what happens when self-absorbed yuppies stupidly apply their cut-throat, competitive lifestyles to their 4 year-old children.....

Test preparation has long been a big business catering to students taking SATs and admissions exams for law, medical and other graduate schools. But the new clientele is quite a bit younger: 3- and 4-year-olds whose parents hope that a little assistance — costing upward of $1,000 for several sessions — will help them win coveted spots in the city’s gifted and talented public kindergarten classes.

Motivated by a recession putting private schools out of reach and concern about the state of regular public education, parents — some wealthy, some not — are signing up at companies like Bright Kids NYC. Bright Kids, which opened this spring in the financial district, has some 200 students receiving tutoring, most of them for the gifted exams, for up to $145 a session and 80 children on a waiting list for a weekend “boot camp” program.

How incompetent as a parent do you have to be to not have prepared your 4 year old for kindergarten such that, you must hire a tutor so your dumb kid can fake the aptitude required to earn a coveted spot at the right school. IT'S KINDERGARTEN, IDIOTS!

This is what kindergarten is for, not solving simultaneous linear equations.

Norah O'Donnel attacks a little girl

Intrepid, NBC reporterette Norah O'Donnell, does a hard-hitting piece at a Sarah Palin book signing by ambushing a 17 year old student with "gotcha" questions....



Here's the girl's response later via Twitter, "But unlike Norah I didn't have my note cards with me. I was forced to think on the spot and answer a gotcha question. Her goal was clear, make this teenager look like an uneducated Palin supporting buffoon. To liberals, and the 5 people who watch MSNBC she succeeded. To conservatives, she was the only buffoon during that interview.

Norah O'Donnell ought to be ashamed of herself! Besides, just because Sarah Palin favored the Bush bailout, doesn't mean supporters can't still support her other, very conservative positions. Maybe the girl was voicing her displeasure at Palin's support of the Bush bailout. Disagreeing with a politician on one position doesn't make you hypocritical by remaining a supporter, as Norah suggested.

Heh, heh..."the 5 people who watch MSNBC".....brilliant!

It's come to this....women may become prostitutes to escape global warming

This is how utterly stupid believers in global warming have become. First they reflexively imagine the worst possible scenario regarding the human condition and then blame the possibility of it, no matter how remote, on global warming.....

From GMANews -- Suneeta Mukherjee, country representative of the United Nations Food Population Fund (UNFPA), said women in the Philippines are the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change in the country.“Climate change could reduce income from farming and fishing, possibly driving some women into sex work and thereby increase HIV infection,"

Then, without even thinking for a minute about what they just said, they present a contradictory argument that has nothing to do with weather.....

“We have already exceeded the carrying capacity of our marine environment. But as the sea’s resources are depleted due to overpopulation and overfishing, fishermen start losing their livelihood and women are forced to share the traditional role of the man in providing for the family."

So which is it that forces Philippine women into prostitution, global warming or man's over use of resources? This is how willfully ignorant these sycophantic believers are. Literally any eventuality, present or future, can and will be blamed on imaginary climate change.

Artur Davis wants to be governor of Alabama

Congressman Artur Davis(D) Alabama, wants to be our next governor. This might explain why he's abandoning Nancy Pelosi, other congressional democrats and, his own Congressional Black Caucus to vote against any health-care bill that includes a public option and higher taxes on the wealthy, as well as voting against stupid climate-change legislation. Alabama is very conservative and he would stand no chance of getting elected if he supported disasters like the current health-care bill and cap-and-trade.

Earlier this week, Jesse Jackson harshly criticized Davis for his lone black vote against health-care saying, "You can’t vote against health-care and call yourself a black man.” and in doing so injected race for the first time into the debate over health-care reform. What Jesse Jackson doesn't understand is that his criticism is probably the biggest endorsement he could have given Davis. I mean if the skeevy Jesse Jackson dislikes you, you can't be all bad.

The global-warming curtain gets pulled back a little further

Get a load of this.....

From SpiegelOnline -- Global warming appears to have stalled. Climatologists are puzzled as to why average global temperatures have stopped rising over the last 10 years. Some attribute the trend to lack of sunspots, while others explain it through ocean currents.

[sic]Not much is happening with global warming at the moment. The Earth's average temperatures have stopped climbing since the beginning of the millennium, and it even looks as though global warming could come to a standstill this year.

Climatologists are puzzled because they're just now waking up from the Koolaid-induced slumber to the reality that man-made global-warming doesn't exist at all. The pixie dust that shysters like Al Gore sprinkled over their profession is wearing off and slowly they're realizing what rubes they've been played for. Al Gore got rich partially because gullible climatologists for the past 10 years were easily bamboozled into believing and regurgitating his ridiculous, climate-change hoax, while ignoring the data that stared them in the face.

Let's hope the politicians wake up from their stupor regarding global warming too before they saddle us with Cap-and-Trade some time next year.

Here's the source of global warming or cause of global cooling....either way, it's entirely out of our hands.
