Happy Super Tuesday!
I sent in my absentee ballot two weeks ago.
I voted for the Southerner, because the Hill and O'bam-bam kept bickering at each other.
Besides... I always root for the underdog.
But, more than likely, my vote won't be counted.. but one can always hope... see the 'underdog' there again!

FEMA scandal... again?
No actual reporters were able to attend Fema's televised briefing on the fires in California on Tuesday because they were only been given 15 minutes notice.
Instead, press officers asked questions many described as soft and gratuitous.
A spokeswoman for Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff called the incident "inexcusable and offensive".
"We have made it clear that stunts such as this will not be tolerated or repeated," Laura Keehner said, adding that the department was considering whether or not to reprimand those responsible.
'Error of judgement'
Fema employees posed as reporters at Tuesday's "news briefing" with Deputy Administrator Harvey Johnson because an agency was providing a live video feed to US TV networks, according to the Washington Post.
| Our intent was to provide useful information and be responsive to the many questions we have received Harvey Johnson Fema Deputy Administrator |
Six questions were posed by the Fema officials and Mr Johnson even used the typical practice of calling for a "last question".
"I'm very happy with Fema's response," Mr Johnson said in reply to one query from an employee.
After the Washington Post published details of the briefing, which one of its reporters listened to by phone, Mr Johnson apologised for the "error of judgement" and promised to do better in future.
"Our intent was to provide useful information and be responsive to the many questions we have received," he said in a statement.
"We are reviewing our press procedures and will make the changes necessary to ensure that all of our communications are straight forward and transparent."
Fema was widely criticised for its response to Hurricane Katrina. Its former administrator, Michael Brown, was forced to resign despite President George W Bush initially declaring he was doing a "heck of a job".

Random
In case you do not know what 'Threaded' means, it's a reference to a movie called: Threads
and more about it here. When G had told me we were moving to Sheffield from Oxfordshire, the first thing I exclaimed was, 'Oh my gods, we're gonna get threaded.' It was a very graphic film, only saw half of it, could not bare to watch the rest of it. The whole eating dead radiated raw sheep just wasn't appealing.
There was talk of US clocks going forward three weeks early. Not sure if that was this actual case.

Finally! The media recongises Kelly was Assassinated!
I had blogged this when it happened. A british weapons inspector 'suddenly died', after giving a report of the WMDs in Iraq.
I belive it is either on this blog, or my blogger, which there is a link on the either right or left sidebar. Yes, I know I should know where my own links are.
Here is the jist:
At the time it happened I was living in Witney, Oxfordshire, where this death took place. Dr. David Kelly's residence was only up the road. He had died while out on a walk in the countryside. They found his body surrounded with pill bottles. They claimed that he killed himself.
Well, I always thought that someone killed him because he knew that there were no WMD in Iraq and he made a public report. I always thought that it was someone in the British government that killed him, because having him alive would be detrimental to 'the case' for the war in Iraq.
"Dr Kelly, whose body was found in July 2003, had been under intense pressure after being named as the suspected source of a BBC report claiming the government "sexed up" a dossier on the threat posed by Iraq."
Well, there was a new article published on the BBC stating that Dr. Kelly's death is now believed by a MP and some others that he was indeed assassinated.
" The Liberal Democrat MP said toxicology reports suggested there was not enough painkiller in Dr Kelly's system to kill him, and the method he had apparently chosen to commit suicide was not a recognised or effective one."
The article is quite interesting, so if you want to read more then: Click here for BBC article on the possible assassination of Dr. David Kelly.
At the time of the event, it was very dubious...had a much nefarious underly tone. The things that were reported and the things that were known locally, did not match up.
But, this type of thing shows how much this war in Iraq is wrong. We should pull out, we have no reason to be there. And yes, I am a patriot; however, this is a lost cause now. Pointless. The only thing we are doing over there is dying.

I want a recount... damn it.
Are you kidding me? Damn you, Corker.
You know that $2million you spent? Sure you do, you spent that money on sending me your republican propaganda through the mail 39 times. Yes, that's right, I got the same pamplet over and over again, even after I voted during early voting.
Guess what I did with all of them. I marked them as 'Return to Sender' and wrote the following messages on the back of them:
'This is where your $2million went, to send me the same outragous propaganda 39 times!'
'Stop wasting paper!'
'Stop killing trees!'
'Stop sending me these!!!'
You'll be getting a lot of post in a few days.
So, now that you won, or should I say your very dirty campaign ads won, are you going to build that border fence?
Prolly not. You will prolly start to do the same thing you did in Chattanooga... which was shit-all.
And why in the blue monkey-balled fuck, did you think that sending me a 'pamplet' would change my mind? I'm a solid Democrat. I've lived under Bush for 6 years... I'm immuned to negative campaining... duh.
Ford is young and he'll be back, he'll run again. Corker is old and will croak sooner.
Though, I feel sorry for the guy who ran in Foley's seat. Gods, how embarrasing. His name wasn't on the ballot, so he had to tell people, 'just mark your ballot for Foley, you won't be voting for him, because he's in rehab. You'll be voting for me, really, it's just that my name isn't on the ballot.
How gay.
'gay'.... 'foley'.... hahahah;)
Do I have to take down the Ford for Tennessee sign in my yard now? When do the Hilary for President signs come out? I want one of those!

Terrorist threat story helped Sweetwater Flea Market
" The owners of the Sweetwater Flea Market say news that it was included on a national database as a possible terrorist target has been good for business.
Trey Boggs says he wasn't sure what effect being in the news would have, but last weekend brought out big crowds.
A sign on the office door reads "Terrorists must sign in" and T-shirts poking fun at the inclusion on the list were on sale for six dollars.
Boggs, who owns the market with his brother Bryan, says the flea market is now a "household name."
As a result of the publicity, Boggs says the market along I-75 at the McMinn-Monroe county line had what he termed "Christmas crowds" over the weekend at a time of year that's usually slow for the flea market.
The annual Mule Day parade in Columbia also made the list.
Dave Mitchell, director of Homeland Security for Tennessee, offered no explanation except that the mule parade and flea market fit the criteria of large events and gatherings and were suggested by local governments. " --AP. July 19th, 2006.

Hahaha.
What terrorists are these, that would want to go down to some hickified flea market?
Do the terrorists not know that they would be out gunned?
A large gathering of hillbillies, rednecks with too extra testostrone and American flag printed across their chest?
Yeh. OK. Who is going to win that one?
THE SOUTH SHALL RISE!
I wonder what else was on that list...Super Wal-marts? No... the terrorists would run out of bombs before they even left the state.
Jack Dainels is made in TN. The brewery?
Now, that right thar... would open up a can of southern whoop-ass.

I'm an American! Get Me Outta Here!!!!!
Why are they even having this debate?
As American citizens, they have a right in which to live their lives how they see fit,(Yes, I know EVERYONE has the right to live their lives how they see fit, but I am making a point here, and that isn't it.) and if they do that in a unstable country, or a easy to take to threat country, then that makes them no less American than those that stay at home and go down to the Wal-Mart on a friday night.
'Waving the evacuation fee?'
WTF?
I didn't realise that they like charged for that stuff. That's... just... wrong. It is people lives at stake, doesn't matter how they got there or how long they have been there...their lives deserve to be protected and aided by their government.

Kaotains from Goreans...Is it really a cult?
I check my morning email and I get a lovely email from G:
Officers discover sex-slave cult
A sex slavery cult based on a series of 1960s science fiction novels has been uncovered by police in Darlington.
Durham Police discovered the bizarre sect after raiding a home in the area, after receiving complaints that a woman was being held against her will.
But a spokesman said the Canadian was a willing participant and the other people involved were consenting adults.
The group, called Kaotians, follow the Chronicles of Gor novels which depict a society where women are dominated.
The 29-year-old woman is said to have voluntarily attended the sect after finding out about it over the internet.
 |  The girls will do everything they are told when it comes to sex, but it is all voluntary and all safe.  Lee Thompson |
She later contacted a friend in United States, who then contacted the police, saying she wanted to leave but couldn't as she had burnt her passport and return ticket.
But a police spokesman said upon arriving at the premises they did not find any evidence of "criminal offences".
'Desire to serve'
Police also investigated claims by a father in Essex his 18-year-old son had joined the sect. However police also found the teenager was at the property voluntarily and they had no grounds to get involved.
Lee Thompson, 31, says he is the "master" who trains the slaves at the Darlington address.
But he said everything the women are told to do, which includes cooking and cleaning, is "voluntary and safe".
"It works on the system that some women have a desire to serve," he told the Northern Echo newspaper.
He said: "Most people think it is a very sexual thing, but it is about every action that they make, they do it for their master.
"Saying that, the girls will do everything they are told when it comes to sex, but it is all voluntary and all safe."
Mr Thompson added: "I have been called sick but I don't think what I do is bad."
Mr Thompson said up to 350 followers regularly meet in pubs and clubs around the North East, in an area from Berwick to York.
Kaotians are a splinter group of the Goreans, which base their beliefs on novels written by American university professor John Norman.
The books are set on the quasi-medieval planet of Gor, which has a caste system and uses women as slaves.
There are an estimated 25,000 Goreans worldwide.
--- BBC News. Click to see original article.
That's very chuckle worthy, first thing in the morning. If you look at the picture of the house on the BBC site, you'll ask yourself, 'How do they get all the slaves in there? Four to a cage?' Well, that's what I asked myself:-p
Cheers, G!

Straw and Rice pillow talk
This made me laugh
Why Condi Rice slept on the floor on an overnight flight to Baghdad:
"On the overnight flight to Baghdad, Rice offered her guest the bed in her personal cabin. Straw awoke in horror to learn the secretary of state had slept on the floor in the aisle outside the cabin."
To add to my laughter was the dialouge during a Q&A with reporters:
"Describing the importance of establishing a national unity government, Straw said, "We've got to be able to deal with Mr. A, Mr. B or Mr. C. We can't deal with Mr. Nobody.'"
Smiling, Rice caught the eye of female reporters before directing a good-natured dig at Straw.
"Jack, I'm sure we'd be all right with Miss A or Miss B or Miss C, too, right?"
As reporters burst out laughing, Straw tried to recover, saying he "was not being gender specific, just reaffirming the realities on the ground."
"Don't report me please," he said."

mmmmm, I wonder who is the dominant one in that relationship.

Are you addicted to Internet porn?
"John would lock himself up in dark rooms for as long as five hours at a time -- scouring the Internet, creating sexual fantasies, and cutting himself off from everyone. He says having an alcohol addition would have been better.
Finding a spiritual base has helped John with recovery. He also joined a 12-step program.
"I am very happy in the second life recovery has given me. Addicts have a chance at two lives in one lifetime," he said. "My addiction is a lifelong, I'm told. There is not a magic bullet. A cure."

Things you may have missed in the news this week.
Things you might have missed in the news this week:
London mayor, Ken Livingstone calls US ambassador chiselling little crook.
"It would actually be quite nice if the American ambassador in Britain could pay the charge like everybody else and not skive out of it like some chiselling little crook," the mayor told a television reporter. As for the dispute over the charge, embassy spokesman Rick Roberts said the U.S. State Department considers it settled: it won't pay.
If I say, 'I'm sorry', you won't sue me will you?
A Canadian province wants to make it easier for people to say they are sorry without the fear of being sued.
The province's ombudsman had asked for the legislation, saying in a report in February that apologies can soothe the anger of citizens wronged by the government.
Honey, when we went to bed last night, we were married, right?
Sohela Ansari told friends that her husband Aftab had uttered the word "talaq," or divorce, three times in his sleep, according to the report published in newspapers Monday.
When local Islamic leaders got to hear, they said Aftab's words constituted a divorce under an Islamic procedure known as "triple talaq." The couple, married for 11 years with three children, were told they had to split.
....
I came across this very old piece of news and thought it was a very interesting 'strange news story from the past'.
1992 -- A Belvidere, Tenn., man was jailed recently on charges that he harassed his estranged wife. According to Winchester, Tenn., police, the man held his wife at knifepoint in her kitchen and forced her to remove her blouse and pour ketchup and mustard over herself. ---News of the Weird.
Now, personally, I don't see anything wrong with the above. People introduce food play into their sexual pervities all the time. So what if it's by knifepoint? People introduce knifeplay into their sexual pervities all the time. And with 'force'? That isn't so bad either, people bring force into their sexual adventures all the time.
Maybe he just had a condiment fetish. I can see how ketchup and mustard would add a little 'flavour' to the scene.
"Oh, pleeease, let's use the mayo tonight! I've been a really good girl!"
"You havn't been good enough," he says as he squirts spicy brown mustard over her back. "If you struggle for me, then I might get out the Mircale Whip."
"Oh, Sir! Slather me with all your white creamy goo!"
"Shut up, girl... Don't make me butter knife you with Hellman's Extra Light."

God, said you have to give our church back.
Mar 29, 9:04 AM (ET)
Copyright 2005 Reuters.
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A South African dominatrix has given up her battle to live in a vicarage, telling the church's congregation they can "shove" the disputed residence, a local newspaper reported Wednesday.
The Pretoria News said Marianne Ellis had been renting the manse, or vicarage, at the Doornkloof Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk near Pretoria for some time when church elders discovered her sideline as a local dominatrix and asked her to move.
Ellis and her husband at first sought to fight the church in court, but Tuesday decided to back down, the newspaper said.
"It is a long story, but basically I am tired of fighting, really tired. They can take their manse back, in fact they can shove it," she told the newspaper.
Ellis, who said she was promised a long lease and option to buy the vicarage, had earlier showed reporters her "torture chamber" at the house but said she never had sex with her clients and was not running a brothel.
Following the dispute with the church, Ellis told the Pretoria News she was temporarily calling a halt to her career.
"But I will crack the whip again after we have moved. Then I will be back with a vengeance," the newspaper quoted her as saying.
---
I wonder what her torture chamber looked liked...hanging crosses, long padded benches, hard back chairs, wooden pedestals, silk sashes adorning the waist of men....
I don't really see what the problem is, she's had a great idea: 'Come and join us on Sunday mornings, where you can worship your God and your master. (offerings may vary by sin - 10% discount on tithings, if you show a, 'I'm a bible-beater member card.').

The 'Bird Flu' terror - Bin Laden has competition.
In my post 'Pissed off cows and the flying flu', I typed about how birds and their 'terror cells' are carrying avian flu to 'The West'.
Well, look what I stumbled across:
wikiBirdFlu - The people's guide to avian influenza
It gives you advice such as:
Bird flu 101
Complete Guide
FAQs
And so on...
Eariler there were reports of dead birds in Isreal along with confirmed reports of Bird flu in Afghanistan.
When will Google have a 'bird flu' map? I think an added tool like that would be the 'google' thing to do.
"Try our new plot the bird flu flight path! Now with interactive video! Watch birds fall from the sky and calcuate how close they land to your house!"
I am eagerly awaiting the upcoming google video of: 'How to duct tape your house' with added comentary from Micheal Brown ex-FEMA director.
Oh wait, Mr. Brown will be too busy trying to chose which tie to wear... might take a while.

Watch where you point that finger gesture!
We've all done it. We've all held up 'the finger' whilst in traffic and if you are on this side of the pond, it's the 'two finger gesture' (Which to me is the number two - G disagrees with this and thinks the one finger gesture acutally means nothing).
Well, my mother is too 'refined' to flip the finger, wether it be one or two. She gives 'The Look'.
Yes, 'The Look' of death, if someone cuts her off, or rides her bumper; she'll turn her head and burn a hole right between the eyes of the offender as they drive by. I've seen that look and trust me, it would make a pirate shiver more than his 'timbers' - he'd just turn around and walk right off the plank!
I have to say, that any fingered gestured that I use whilst in traffic always comes with a free personal message!
But after reading this article involving a man who was cited for using a finger gesture on a construction worker, maybe in future, I won't say 'You twatted bastard!' so loudly.

Pissed off cows and the flying flu
A couple of years ago, we were told to 'stock up on duct tape and plastic sheeting'. Now, we are being told to 'stock up on a three month supply of food.'
Maybe the birds that have the bird flu are actually undercover terrorists cells, and their flight path is destined for The West. So far, the bird flu has been detected in countries where there have been civil unrest or sleeping terror cells.
Let's not forget the three cases of 'mad cow diease' that has been reported in the states.
Those sneaky cows, been waiting for ten years to unleash their 'terror' on unsuspecting Americans.
I suggest that we all become vegans now, because, we have a lot of canned carrots to stock up on!
Surely, you can see the connection, right?
Cows, birds and all that impending terror, oh my!
I guess Iran doesn't seem so scary now really. I mean, how can a nuclear row with Iran really compare with flu infecting misiles and stampeeding 'mad' cows?
What's next? Road raged self driven cars?
Watch out! *Splat*
Get yourself down to the Wal-Mart now, because that is really what they want you to do, just buy everything up, have it stocked piled for whatever may come, and when it doesn't come, sell your left over stock on eBay.
----
Read this article on the 'expert' advice from Robert G. Webster - a 'bird flu expert'.
About the 'Mad Cow' --- The U.S. Agriculture Department on Monday said a 10-year-old beef cow in Alabama tested positive for the disease. The two previous U.S. cases were in Washington state in December 2003 and in Texas in June 2005.

Red Rain brings 'Life - not as we know it'
I heard the end of this report on Radio 1 this morning.
The report in detail is at the following link:
And their chemical make-up was characteristic of biological cells – mainly carbon and oxygen, with traces of iron, sodium and other elements.
More theories followed. It was proposed, for example, the cells could be blood, from flocks of migrating bats, blown up by an explosion in the upper atmosphere. But they are not.
Amazingly, according to Dr Louis, they seem to be able to split and replicate, despite apparently containing no DNA – the chemical reproductive code which is common to all life on Earth"

DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!
A fifth-grader has died and police say he was playing what some call the "hanging game."
Eleven-year-old Daniel Sheppard of White House, TN was in his bedroom with his six-year-old brother yesterday afternoon when the incident occurred.
City Police Chief Stan Hilgadiak says Daniel asked his little brother if he wanted to play the "hanging game" and the younger boy declined. But the eleven-year-old put a scarf around his own neck and around a bunk bed. The younger boy screamed for help when Daniel lost consciousness.
Daniel's father and stepmother released him and tried to revive him while calling 911, but the boy was pronounced dead at a Nashville hospital a short time later.
Restricting the flow of blood to the brain, then restoring it is said to produce a brief "high" or a "rush," but doctors say it's dangerous, even if the person doesn't loose consciousness and strangle.
Hilgadiak says police intend to address students at all Robertson and Sumner county schools about the dangerous game. White House is located on the county line.
Other names for the game include Space Monkey, the pass-out game and the choking game.

Discoveries, discoveries!
"Mummy! Mummy! I found some more tombs!
More tombs were discovered in the Valley of the Kings since the discovery of King Tut's tomb in 1922.
"Yes, Rose, for now, but not forever."

Cartoons? No. More like Riot-toons.
This isn't too surprising. Given that the Iranian president stated last year that he wanted to wipe Israel off the 'map'.
But, we'll see by the end of today, what 'reglious' sanct will be rioting today!

Those damn never amused Brits.
NAPEAGUE, New York (AP) -- A boat captain who sent a message out to sea in a bottle says he received a reply from Britain -- accusing him of littering.
"I kind of felt like no good deed goes unpunished," Harvey Bennett, 55, told the East Hampton Star.
The plastic bottle was one of five that Bennett placed in the ocean off New York's Long Island in August.
Last month, he excitedly opened a letter from England, and was stunned by the reply:
"I recently found your bottle while taking a scenic walk on the beach by Poole Harbour. While you may consider this some profound experiment on the path and speed" of "oceanic currents, I have another name for it, litter.
"You Americans don't seem to be happy unless you are mucking about somewhere," says the letter, signed by Henry Biggelsworth of Bournemouth, in the southern county of Dorset.
---
Does Henry Biggelsworth not know that we have a special relationship with the UK?
Does Henry Biggelsworth not have a sense of adventure?
He's like most Brits. Stuffy, obnoxious, rude, overbearing and too reserved for their own good.
No sex please, we're British. But in this situation it's more like: No litter please, or we'll have to pay more council tax.
Tosser.

When Bondage goes bad
In Bondage related news, a Dominatrix is put on trial for the death of a man while strapped to a rack.
"His arms are flailing about," Nelson said. "There was a gasp, and his head went forward."
Sounds like he wasn't strapped in properly.
Aprntly, she didn't 'do anything' to aid him, and just let him "hang there".
I would have at least poked him with a stick.
I wonder if he'll get a refund.

Why don't you just stop and ask for directions
Well, this says a lot now doesn't it?
"A woman's use of the net is more likely to involve greater use of e-mail as well as searches for health and medical information, map directions and religious material. "
Whilst men were:
"Men were also more likely to use the net for recreation and to listen to music, gather information for hobbies and take part in online fantasy sports leagues"
Gender gap alive and well online

Yews Crazy! It's the middle of the night!
At 03:35 I would prolly be up, so I wouldn't have minded so much, but had it been 06:00 then yes, I would have minded a lot!
I am not a morning person, anyone that knows me, utterly knows that I am *not* happy nor go lucky that early in the morning.
When I was still living at home, even the animals would run to safety upon my waking. Now, poor G gets the brunt of my morning madness.
Oh well, gotta take it out on someone;)

Yes, I'll have more of these then, please:

Scary. On Sunday, all I could think about was 'Threads'. I was already up, when the news reports came on the tele. Not a very good feeling to have at 6am on a Sunday.

Sorry, I can't make it in today. I'm war planning.
I once had jury duty. It was supposed to last a month. It ended up lasting 4 months, in my case.
If George Bush does take up his summons for jury duty, then I wonder how long it would be for him.
Let's see... how long have our troops been in Iraq?
What I thought was funny from this article was the following:
""It seems to me that the president has plenty of things to occupy his attention," he told the Waco Tribune Herald newspaper. (Judge Ralph Strother)."
Yes, I'm sure he does have things to occupy his time, like which country to wrongly invade next.
Iran?
The end is neigh!

Gobble Gobble; Too stuffed.
The thing that no one is supposed to know, but we all know anyway, but the British media has a 'gag' order placed upon them. I think Bush was serious, no way was that a joke.
I'm too stuffed to type anymore!
Hopr your Tday was as good as mine! ;)

Through all the whiteout, I could still read the uncaring nature of that bunch, esp Micheal Brown's statements. What an utterly stupid man... but what do you expect from a friend of Bush?

Tony Blair defeated!
Not looking good for Tony Blair
Prime Minister Blair has suffered his first defeat in eight years. It's pretty bad when you are not backed by your own labour peers.
Vote of no confidence will be the topic of many disscussions tonight, I'm sure.
Personally, I would have voted for the 90-day dentention bill for terror suspects. I also would go for having them shot, hanged and their decapitated heads put on spikes.

Is that like six degrees of seperation or Fascism?
