In a recent article, titled "Witch! Witch! Witch!", an article ‘which’ has since mysteriously disappeared (otherwise I would happily have linked you there), an erstwhile blogger made "coded" references to the effect that SoS Condi Rice was, perhaps, being…..well…..less ‘black’ than those of her race would like and/or expect of her; perhaps not doing enough for blacks in America and in the world at large(at least, that's how I took it). As if simply being a black woman with the title "United ...
This is a question I have wrestled with for many years: what, exactly, constitutes "cool" in a person? There seem to be several different perspectives on what constitutes being "cool", depending upon the context in which the term is used. Two leap to mind at present. Being "cool" can mean having the ability to stay or act correctly and calm in a given, often stressful situation. It can also mean acting "correctly" (usually in simply going along) in another situation, especially one in which s...
Lindsay Lohan has figured out what she wants to be when she grows up: A sex kitten and a pinup. Just like Marilyn Monroe. Lohan makes this breathless confession in the September issue of Elle magazine. The subject came up when the Hollywood party girl was asked if she had any big plans for the coming year. She said she wants to emulate Marilyn Monroe and visit the troops in Iraq with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton--even though it's not clear the senator even wants Lohan to accompany her. "I'v...
From the Jerusalem Post: Aug. 5, 2006 16:08 | Updated Aug. 5, 2006 19:58 Saudi religious leader blasts Hizbullah By ASSOCIATED PRESS Cairo, Egypt A top Saudi Sunni cleric, whose ideas inspired Osama bin Laden, issued a religious edict Saturday disavowing the Shi'ite guerrilla group Hizbullah, evidence that a rift remained among Muslims over the fighting in Lebanon. Hizbullah, which translates as "the party of God," is actually "the party of the devil," said Sheik Safar al-...
The following was a reply I made to Cactoblasta in response to his comment, copied below....I thought I would post the whole thing as an article, because I think it says at least a little something about our situation in the world.---RW There were the purges in Bosnia a few years back and the religious violence in Ambon (which continues to this day). ---Cacto That was localized violence; I'm talking about an organized mass movement. There is much more Muslim violence against others in ...
From time to frequent time, we are reminded by the MSM that, though Islamist violence (that is, violence in the name of Allah) is to be found the world over, that the vast majority of them are just kind, peace-luvvin', carnation-in-the-rifle-barrel, let's-all-join-hands-and-sing-"Kum-Ba-Ya", just-get-up-and-go-to-work-day-in-day-out-just-livin'-life folks. They tell us that Islamic Fundamentalism and the terrorist behavior it engenders is just an horrific anomaly. A mutation of that faith an...
A month or so ago, The Wife and I stopped for ice cream at Stars and Stripes, a local walk-up ice cream joint just out the road. While there, I ran into Cody, a girl I used to work with, and spent a couple minutes catching up with her. She was with her fiance and his father, and they sat quietly as we chatted about work and such. At length, the older man asked where we lived, if we were residents of Hanover Township. We replied that yes, we were. We live in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania. He a...
Robert Byrd (D; WV) has said, at the beginning of our War on Terror, that we should just forget about fighting the terrorists because, in his opinion, such a war would simply never end. We'd have "enough enemies to fight until Doomsday" (that's a paraphrase). What should we do? Why, negotiate with them, of course. Of course, Doomsday is just what at least some the bad guys want, in this case. But hey; we should just sit back, take their barbaric, 12th-century crap and let whatever happens ...
I was ready to laugh out loud. As soon as I heard the familiar music over the darkened screen, I thought "Man, I wonder what this’ll be like". When I first heard about this project a few months ago, I thought it would be a joke. I thought it WAS a joke. I guess was wrong. I saw the trailer for "Rocky Balboa" when The Wife and I went to see "Pirates of the Caribbean" yesterday, and I have to admit that I’m interested, and maybe even a little impressed. As the outline of the story ...
This nigger is walking along on the beach, when he looks down and there, washed up in the surf, is a Genie Bottle. He picks it up and begins puuling off the seaweed, when his hand brushes the side. POOF! A flash of light, a puff of smoke, and out pops the Genie of the Bottle. "Greetings!" the Genie says to the stunned jiggaboo. "I have been imprisoned for many years; thank you for freeing me. For this, I will grant you three wishes." The black dude thinks it over, and asks to be rich....

A nigger is taking a vacation in China, and takes a walk out beside this large pond. There, on the shore, is an old Chinaman, skipping stones deftly across the surface. As the stone skims over the waves, it makes an odd sound: "Ching-Chow-Ling-Leng-Ping-Lee-Yu!!" The old man takes another stone and, as the nigger stands watching, skims it across the surface of the waters. Again the odd sound is heard, but somewhat differently this time. Curious, the black guy walks up and speaks to the ...

Two fags are holding hands, walking on the beach, when one of them trips and falls. There, sticking out of the sand, is a Genie Lamp. Thinking how divine it would look on the mantle, he begins dusting it off. POOF! A flash of light, a puff of smoke, and out pops the Genie of the Lamp. "Greetings….thank you for freeing me from my prison; for this, I will grant you one wish; but only one, so choose carefully." The two faggots put their heads together and consider their choices. Finall...
For American JUers........ Take out a quarter, dime, nickle and a penny. Put them in a row. I'll wait.................... Notice that Washington, Jefferson and Roosevelt are pointing one way, while Lincoln is facing the other. Know why that is? If you freed the slaves, could you face your friends?
