Well, in light of the fact that the cyclone which hit Burma a week or so ago may have killed a few hundred thousand people, which would dwarf the 2004 tsunami which hit Indonesia...comes this story that the Burmese junta has suspended and seized all foreign aid, and the UN has suspended aid to the country.
This better not surprise you that totalitarian governments don’t give a s**t about the People, only about remaining in power. No, liberals, don’t give me your mantra that the Bush Administration is totalitarian...the very fact that you can say that puts that lie to rest. What’s it gonna take for the REST of the Burmese People to get up off their a**es and send these guys to Hell?

Kim Jong Il should be very happy that his favorite p*ss* is considering a run for office. That said, I’m a Doubting Thomas on this one.
Why? For one very simple reason: because of his promise to leave the USA if George W. Bush won the 2000 election, a promise which he obviously never kept.
Then again, he may very well fit into the world of politics for that same reason...Ugh.

I swear, Matt Drudge is getting lazy....

So there are the headlines this morning on Drudge’s site. He says he links to an audio, which he doesn’t...it’s a YouTube video. So I took the liberty to rip it down for you; this mp3 file is based on a USA Today phone interview with Senator Clinton two days ago.
And just who are the racists here? I rest my case.

There’s a team here in Phoenix. But will my girlfriend let me go?

Aside from Osama Obama and Shrillary splitting the major primaries last night (NC and IN, respectively)...I don’t think there was too much going on in the current news cycle.
Good. Time to catch our breaths....off to work. Off tomorrow.

Gee, I wonder who is responsible for this debacle, eh:

Indigo and Chapters are recalling about 10,000 tote bags because they may cause skin irritation.
The bags, which were part of a Mother’s Day gift-with-purchase promotion, were distributed across the country.
“A few skin irritations have been reported in relation to the handling of this blue floral printed tote bag with a green lining that customers received as a gift with purchase,” the company said.
The company said it pulled the bags from stores on May 2. Preliminary composition tests showed the presence of a potential skin irritant, the company said.
The recall affects blue tote bags with green linings sold from April 30 through May 2. Consumers should return the bags in exchange for a gift card.

Doesn’t take a Rocket Scientist to figure this one out. Happy Mother’s Day, eh.

Now here’s a surprise! Unboxed? Nawwww!
This revelation was only recently discovered in his diaries, around the time the Tyrant Was In His Pants, referring to a common fear from male prisoners:

“I explained to them that they are young and they could have young people’s diseases. My main concern was to not catch a venereal disease, an HIV disease, in this place.”

Well, the US Military wasn’t about to let Saddam have free run of the place so he could intimidate other Iraqi prisoners! And Arafat was, well, occupied elsewhere....

...it’s Cinco de Mayo. It’s when Mexico beat France at the Battle of Puebla way back in 1862. Watch for many vehicles to wave Mexico’s Flag today! Some employers are encouraging their workers to wear Mexican colors today, so they can get free non-alcoholic Margaritas. Whoop de freakin’ do.
But the French got beat, so at least that’s a plus for the Mexicans.

NOW the frakkin’ true loonies are starting to come out over at my ”Crashing Code Pink” video. Here’s what a very recent visitor left on the graffiti board, and its name is BerkeleyRightsNOW:

I wear a burka on campus because I don’t like men idolizing me. It makes life easier. That is why I converted to Islam and only date Black men so they will stop putting white women on pedestals. My parents are Republican and they hate my boyfriend because they know I told him how they used to laugh about paying their Black employees less then the white ones. That is why I hate my own race.

And my reply? Heheheheheheh!

Gee that’s funny! You set yourself free by enslaving yourself to a “Religion of Peace” which has 1427 years of violence behind it. What an Original solution.

NOT.

Wait till you see the comments at this troll’s profile...they are a Hoot! We’ll see how much more fanatical it becomes quite soon. RoPMA™!

If you’ve ever wondered where Frank Miller got the inspiration to do 300, both the graphic novel and the motion picture, then look no further than The 300 Spartans, a 1962 classic motion picture depiction of the Battle of Thermopylae. It was filmed on location with the full cooperation of the Greek Government.
Granted, the style of movies made over forty years ago is quite different; part of the ingredients of a successful film involved a young couple in love, there was NO nudity allowed, and Ephialtes (the traitor who betrayed the Spartans to Xerxes) was a goat farmer who was rebuffed by the Young Woman in Love who accompanied her fiance to Thermopylae (in the modern version, he was a deformed, hunchbacked outcast). Another major difference was that Xerxes was portrayed as what I would term “kingly,” and definitely not metrosexual; oh, and no Battle Burqas either.
The 300 Spartans was filmed before the MPAA rating system was created; therefore, it is Not Rated. In today’s parlance, given the content, it would most likely be rated PG. Definitely a retro movie with the same message that Free Men must stand to oppose Tyranny. My rating: 7

My Back Pages by The Byrds. I’m younger than that now. Watch the spinning 45....

Last night the Official Roommate worked on a friend’s PC luggable. It was not just a laptop, it had a built-in keypad, which made it luggable! But I digress.
Anyway, he said there were 135 virii and 21 spywares which had infected the darn thing and the scan took just under an hour and a half to complete. So of course he did a complete wipe and reinstall. The final report was supposedly ten pages long; I looked at it, and it was ten pages due to spreadsheet formatting. Still, it was bad enough. I sure hope the owner of this luggable did some type of backup, otherwise, they’re hosed.
Even the Official Roommate was tearing his hairs out over this one. Careful, you don’t want to go bald before it is time.

That’s right, chum. They even exist in South Dakota, in the wake of a May blizzard.
You know what this will be attributable to. In case you forgot, simply click on the audio.

That’s right, chum. Look closely now at this ‘delicacy’:

And here I thought Carl’s Jr.’s Six-Dollar Burger was bad. Wait till you see the other menu items you can find at the State Fair.

With The Wall nearly two-thirds complete on the West Bank, along with the IDF’s daily incursions into Paleostinian territory, it’s no wonder they are raging and seething once again. After all, their livelihood is being taken away by the Israelis, and it prevents the ‘peace process’ from going forward.
Hataf and Hamas have no intention of settling for a non-contiguous state on the West Bank and Gaza Strip, respectively. They want ALL of Israel. They chose the homicidal bombing and Katyusha rocket campaigns to nickel & dime the Israelis to death, and it’s pissing them off to no end that the IDF is thwarting them.
