Just when I thought the worst was over, I came across this article at the Washington Post.

This article tells of many Arabs in Iraq that are mad at us for showing the pictures of Uday and Qusay. They say its “un-Islamic” to show them.

Well I tell you what, here’s someone who believes we should have shown them: Salam Pax’s article about showing the bodies of the two sons.

I’m a bit upset about this tonight, so I responded with this:

Concerning: Your Article

“I later found out that the man in front of me was Fisk and the question
he asked which we all want to be answered was: why was the decision made
to attack with a force that would have been capable of annihilating a city
block? Why did they opt for killing them when they knew their importance
as sources of information on all sorts of things and the wish all Iraqis
have that they be put thru trial?”

I’ll tell you why. It was because the U.S. Government didn’t *KNOW* that
Saddam was NOT there. They were unsure. They knew the sons were there
but they didn’t know if Saddam was in there.
The U.S. Government thought Saddam travelled with his two sons (and so did
the American People). It’s quite likely that the military personnel
onsite thought Saddam MIGHT have been in there.
Had he been inside, the Government wouldn’t have wanted to make a
“Slobodan Milosevic” out of him–The U.S. Government wanted him DEAD!
All this was decided at a very high level of our government.
Rest assured, Saddam knows things about our government, just as we know
things about him, and our government is scared. Our government wants him dead. The mere hint of his
presence will bring about many more TOW missiles and use of force far
greater than is needed.

I hope this sheds some light on how evil our government can be. Saddam
may have been a violent, lawless, and godless Tyrant, but he deserves to
suffer for his crimes, not spared by death.

I went to vino’s tonight in Little Rock and it just so happened that I needed to take a “pit stop”. In the bathroom stall in which I sat read the following on the wall:

Here I sit, broken-hearted
I tried to shit but only farted.
An Hour later, I took a chance–
I tried to fart, but shit my pants.

That’s pretty funny–I hadn’t heard it before.

I recently watched a movie called “How to loose a guy in 10 days”. After seeing it, I came up with 10 things missing from this movie.

10 things that could make a guy leave your punk ass in a hurry:

1. Fart in front of your man. If you really want to lose him, outfart him.

2. Wreck his car. That’s right, I said it. You want him to leave you? Wreck his antique. He’ll hate you for it, and leave.

3. Tell him your pregnant, wait until he’s convinced, and then tell him the truth. If he has half a brain, he’ll leave.

4. Give him a pet cat. There’s nothing worse than the smell of ammonia (read: cat piss) on hid new carpet.

5. Get an Ex-boyfriend (or someone to pose as one) to beat him up. This should leave him black-eyed and bruised-tailed. He’ll bolt as soon as he can walk again.

6. Turn his PC into the RIAA. That’d make him good and pissed off. On top of that, they’re sure to sue him for everything he has. He’ll have no choice to leave you because he’ll be in jail. (Use this at your own risk)

7. Run up an astronomical cellphone bill. I’m not talking 4 or 500 dollars. I mean run up a 4 or 5,000 dollar bill. He’ll leave you eventually.

8. Sell all his ________(insert his favorite toy)_______ on ebay. For some people this would be Star Wars memoriabilia. For me, it’d be my old school coin collection.

9. Throw parties at his place while he’s not there, and break stuff–lots of stuff.

10. This one really shouldn’t be used–by anyone: Have rough sex with him and claim rape. This technique is featured in a recent movie called “The Life of David Gale”. You want a man to leave you? This is a surefire way of doing it. It also has the potential of getting your own ass put in jail. Be warned.

Matt Smith is a funny guy. He put out this mp3 making fun of Metallica’s “St. Anger”. Take a listen to the St. Anger Tribute he created, it’s rather funny.


You’ve got to also check out his website. It’s well worth your time, trust me.

This is an actual letter sent to a man named Ryan DeVries by the
Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, State of Michigan. This
guy’s response is hilarious, but read the State’s letter before you get to
the response letter.

SUBJECT: DEQ File No.97-59-0023; T11N; R10W, Sec. 20; Montcalm County

Dear Mr. DeVries:
It has come to the attention of the Department of Environmental Quality
that there has been recent unauthorized activity on the above referenced
parcel of property. You have been certified as the legal landowner and/or
contractor who did the following unauthorized activity:
Construction and maintenance of two wood debris dams across the outlet
stream of Spring Pond. A permit must be issued prior to the start of this
type of activity And a review of the Department’s files shows that no
permits have been issued.
Therefore, the Department has determined that this activity is in violation
of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and
Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994,being
sections 324.30101 to 324.30113 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, annotated.
The Department has been informed that one or both of the dams partially
failed during a recent rain event, causing debris and flooding at
downstream locations. We find that dams of this nature are inherently
hazardous and cannot be permitted. The Department therefore orders you to
cease and desist all activities at this location, and to restore the stream
to a free-flow condition by removing all wood and brush forming the dams
from the stream channel. All restoration work shall be completed no later
than January 31, 2003.
Please notify this office when the restoration has been completed so that a
follow-up site inspection may be scheduled by our staff. Failure to comply
with this request or any further unauthorized activity on the site may
result in this case being referred for elevated enforcement action. We
anticipate and would appreciate your full cooperation in this matter.
Please feel free to contact me at this office if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
David L. Price, District Representative
Land and Water Management Division

Here is the actual response sent back by Mr. DeVries: **

Re: DEQ File No. 97-59-0023; T11N; R10W, Sec. 20; Montcalm County.
Dear Mr. Price,
Your certified letter dated 12/17/02 has been handed to me to respond to. I
am the legal landowner but not the Contractor at 2088 Dagget, Pierson,
Michigan. A couple of beavers are in the (State unauthorized) process of
constructing and maintaining two wood “debris” dams across the outlet
stream of my Spring Pond. While I did not pay for, authorize, nor supervise
their dam project, I think they would be highly offended that you call
their skillful use of natures building materials “debris.” I would like to
challenge your department to attempt to emulate their dam project any time
and/or any place you choose. I believe I can safely state there is no way
you could ever match their dam skills, their dam resourcefulness, their dam
ingenuity, their dam persistence, their dam determination and/or their dam
work ethic.
As to your request, I do not think the beavers are aware that they must
first fill out a dam permit prior to the start of this type of dam
activity. My first dam question to you is: (1) Are you trying to
discriminate against my Spring Pond Beavers, or (2) do you require all
beavers throughout this State to conform to said dam request? If you are
not discriminating against these particular beavers, through the Freedom of
Information Act, I request completed copies of all those other applicable
beaver dam permits that have been issued. Perhaps we will see if there
really is a dam violation of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the
Natural Resource and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public
Acts of 1994, being sections 324.30101 to 324.30113 of the Michigan
Compiled Laws, annotated.
I have several concerns. My first concern is; aren’t the beavers entitled
to legal representation? The Spring Pond Beavers are financially destitute
and are unable to pay for said representation — so the State will have to
provide them with a dam lawyer. The Department’s dam concern that either
one or both of the dams failed during a recent rain event, causing
flooding, is proof that this is a natural occurrence, which the Department
is required to protect. In other words, we should leave the Spring Pond
Beavers alone rather than harassing them and calling their dam names.
If you want the stream “restored” to a dam free-flow condition please
contact the beavers — but if you are going to arrest them, they obviously
did not pay any attention to your dam letter, they being unable to read
English.
In my humble opinion, the Spring Pond Beavers have a right to build their
unauthorized dams as long as the sky is blue, the grass is green and water
flows downstream. They have more dam rights than I do to live and enjoy
Spring Pond. If the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental
Protection lives up to its name, it should protect the natural resources
(Beavers) and the environment (Beavers’ Dams).
So, as far as the beavers and I are concerned, this dam case can be
referred for more elevated enforcement action right now. Why wait until
1/31/2003? The Spring Pond Beavers may be under the dam ice then and there
will be no way for you or your dam staff to contact/harass them then.
In conclusion, I would like to bring to your attention to a real
environmental quality (health) problem in the area. It is the bears! Bears
are actually defecating in our woods. I definitely believe you should be
persecuting the defecating bears and leave the beavers alone. If you are
going to investigate the beaver dam, watch your step! (The bears are not
careful where they dump!)
Being unable to comply with your dam request, and being unable to contact
you on your dam answering machine, I am sending this response to your dam
office.
THANK YOU.
RYAN DEVRIES & THE DAM BEAVERS

I don’t think I’ve had a funnier read in quite some time. Definitely time well spent to read.

We had server problems last night. By problems I mean the server’s Harddrive crashed. They couldn’t even get it to reboot. So, an upgrade was in order. We’ve moved to rackshack hosting. We seem to be a lot quicker now.

It figures this has to have happened the very day we’re mentioned on the radio here in town.

One more thing: You can post comments but You can’t post comments or view them yet. We’re working on getting the mysql database upgraded so comments can once again be viewed. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Fistgate was held again this year on March 24 in the same building at Tufts University with the same message about how to practice homosexual sex.

Kits of plastic gloves intended for “fisting” and oral sex were distributed at Planned Parenthood’s table in the lobby.

More students attended this year. Out of approximately 650 attendees, about 400 of those were students.

Public funds were used for the event with at least two school buses transporting students from Methuen High School and Marblehead Public Schools. Adam Glick, Conference Coordinator, said he did not know how the buses were paid for. Other children were transported by public school teachers in private cars.

The private homosexual sponsor, GLSEN, is given state funds for many purposes and does not publicly report on how the money is spent.

Taxpayer Funded

When asked if any of this was taxpayer funded, Glick said no public funds were used for the event. He said it was paid for entirely by donations and registration fees. There are many obvious questions about the funding including Glick’s salary, but Glick would not answer them. The student participants were obviously recruited through the public schools and their teachers. The shroud of secrecy aroused suspicion.

Glick said no professional development points would be awarded to teachers for attending because there weren’t enough hours. However, GLSEN provided a yellow certificate of completion which says the teacher participated in professional development activities for 6.0 hours.

see the full article: here

If you ask me, something doesn’t smell right about this. Why does Planned Parenthood care anything about this? If you ask me, some money has exchanged hands. I would very much like to know where this “fistgate” group gets its funding. This is yet another reason why people who accept monies from the government should be required to disclose the use thereof.

You would be correct in assuming that I neither support, nor am for this fistgate group. I thank MassNews for exposing this to us.
