Dumb perp of the week

Stupid punk arguing disrespectfully with cops and gets tasered = funny.

Punk getting mad because cops tasered him and gets tasered again = hysterical.

Situation escalating as punk gets angrier at cops who're tasering him and cops keep tasering him because he's getting angrier = deleriously priceless!

If you haven't seen the video of that idiot in the UCLA computer lab getting tasered 4 times by the cops, go to YouTube and watch it....it's frickin' hilarious. He's yelling about the Patriot Act, abuse of police power, and brutality in between screams during the tasering. I just love these stupid guys who think they don't have to do what the cops tell them to.

I mean has there ever been a guy who refused to obey the cops and didn't get his butt kicked?

These kind of stories never cease to entertain me. And it's all on YouTube and I can watch it over and over.

Seriously, if you've never seen an angry perp get tasered, IT IS FUNNY!!!

Thank goodness for Marines

My friend Frank e-mailed this to me this morning. You just know media liberals hate when this happens...

Katie Couric, while interviewing a Marine sniper, asked: "What do you feel when you shoot a terrorist?"
The Marine shrugged and replied: "Recoil."

(Hard to fault a Marine that eloquent)

Semper Fi!

SanFranNan steps in it

Much to my delight, SanFranNan Pelosi, the new democratic Speaker of the House, has managed to lose her very first battle as the third most powerful politician in Washington. She promised that this new Congress would be the cleanest, and least corrupt Congress of all time. So to that end she supports John Murtha, of ABSCAM fame, as her number two. Nan couldn't intimidate the rest of the Dem caucus by twisting their arms, and Hoyer got elected as majority leader.

I can only hope that whoever advised her that the America-hating Murtha was a good choice, given the conservative Democrats who just got elected, keeps advising her. This should be fun to watch.

Crying wolf in Japan

I'm ashamed to have to admit that I was quite disappointed to hear about the 16 inch tsunami which "struck" Japan this morning, after excited predictions of 6-8 foot waves forced mass evacuations. I was looking forward to some very dramatic devastation and mayhem. It was reported that the largest wave was the single 16 inch wave that lapped the sandy shore, followed by an 8 inch "wave", and then a 3 inch "wave".

I'm curious though, how do they know that a 3 inch tsunami hit Japan? Maybe a clumsy reporterette accidentally stepped in the water a few yards away. How did they even determine the 16 inch wave was a tsunami, among the other waves washing ashore? I make a bigger wave when I jump in the tub.

In a nutshell

Just in case you need a reminder of what's wrong with the Republican Party, look no further than the news that moronic Republicans elected Trent Lott to the Senate minority whip this morning.

Trent Lott is the quintessential, old-school, big-spending Republican. He's the exact type of "conservative" voters rejected last week. If this is the Republicans' front-line defense against creeping liberalism, we're in a world of trouble already. Lott is part of the problem, not the solution.

I've been getting a lot of comment spam lately(comes with the territory I guess). Comment spam is typically done by a computer hitting every blog it can find and leaving a generic advertisement as a comment. Any time you see a "comment deleted" message in the comment window of a post, it is almost always my deletion of comment spam. To defeat this practice, I have enabled the "word verification" function in the comments section. It simply requires you to read a word and type that word in a box before it lets you post a comment. Humans can perform this simple exercise but computers cannot. I hope this doesn't inhibit your commenting on this blog--it only takes a second or two.

Sorry for this minor inconvenience, Ed

Trouble in the big pond

Heads will roll for this goof...

A Chinese submarine stalked a U.S. aircraft carrier battle group in the Pacific last month and surfaced within firing range of its torpedoes and missiles before being detected.

How in the world does a Chinese sub sneak up on a state-of-the-art aircraft carrier? Surely we had our radar turned on! There is no reasonable explanation for a potential, enemy air or water craft getting within weapons range of a US aircraft carrier. Whoever ignored that curious blip-blip on the radar screen should be drummed out of the service entirely...unbelievable!

Don't fall for the minimum wage ruse

Here are some minimum wage statistics borrowed from Walter Williams that I'll bet you won't hear from Democrats or the mainstream media...

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics:
1. 63% of minimum wage workers earn a raise within one year of employment
2. Only 15% of minimum wage workers still earn min. wage after 3 years
3. Only 3% of all hourly workers, and 2% of wage and salary earners make minimum wage
4. 53% of minimum wage earners are between ages 16 - 24 (ie. they are young and still single)
5. Only 5.3% of minimum wage earners are from households below the poverty line
6. 40% of minimum wage earners live in households with incomes of $60,000 and higher
7. Over 82% of minimum wage earners do not have dependents

Based on these statistics, it is obvious that when the Democrats and media tell us that the minimum wage must support millions of families of four and therefor must be a "living wage", they are lying! Liberals use the minimum wage canard to appear compassionate. The appearance of compassion buys them favor with their willing accomplices in the media, and the hand-out voters will dutifully vote for their Democrat patrons in Congress who keep the goody bags coming.

The truth about the minimum wage debate is that Democrats are interested in the welfare of the poor only in the sense that the poor continue to vote for them. It's the labor unions who the Democrats are really trying to please. Democrats have always been slaves to the labor unions and union labor contracts are almost always tied to the minimum wage. Anytime you have a minimum wage increase, the pay of union workers goes up by some factor. If you don't believe me, check out the AFL-CIO(America's largest labor union) website. It's full of minimum wage propoganda. AFL-CIO workers don't make the minimum wage, they are obscenely overpaid.

Democrats need as many Americans to remain on the government dole as possible to assure a broad voting base. Heaven forbid if people are motivated to improve their lives and as a result, no longer need the assistance of government programs to survive. Why do you think successful, achieving tax-payers generally vote Republican?

What Democrats don't tell you is that whenever the minimum wage is raised, many workers lose their jobs and the prices of goods and services goes up accordingly for the consumers. Democrats don't care one bit about the consequences of their actions, as long as they appear compassionate around election time and it tricks gullible Americans into voting for them.

Scumbag of the year

Predictably, K-Fed is suing Britney Spears (fabulously rich pop star) for sole custody of their two kids. I'm sure it has nothing to do whatsoever with the child support that comes with them. One wonders though, if K-Fed was such a great daddy, why he didn't sue Shar Jackson (poor ex-dancer) for sole custody of the two kids he has with her. You would think that even somebody as dumb as Britney could see through a schmuck like K-Fed's act.

A Contract for the 21st Century

It's funny. This morning I've heard 5 different congressmen remark in one way or another that what the GOP needs to do is what they did in '94 to win control of the House. That's 5 different references, either directly or indirectly, to Newt Gingrich's contract with America. Many people think that this defeat of current GOP office-holders pretty much puts McCain on the outs as far as the GOP nomination in '08 goes. With George Allen losing in Va. that leaves outsiders Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich as the fav's to go against Hill.

The assessment that the GOP needs another Contract-like movement to recapture the House and Senate in '08, is spot-on. Newt probably has too much persoal baggage to be electable and he's a little too much of a GOP company guy for my Liberterian tastes but, he's smarter than any candidate I can think of. If Romney stumbles and Newt's still in the game, I could vote for him.
