I'm not endorsing anybody.

If you need endorsements to make your mind up about who to vote for, then you ought not vote.
In fact, you should just kill yourself because you are so stupid that your brain only marginally serves to keep your heart beating, and has no useful purpose otherwise.

Think about that the next time some newspaper's editorial board spews forth.

How sad can you be to let other think for you?

SMART is smart.

Hmmm.
There is a little feature of modern hard drives called "smart".
Smart notifies you during boot of impending hard drive failure.
I got alerted that one of my drives is failing, so I'm busy backing up.
Thanks to the guy that invented that technology.
A blown disk with no backup is a real catastrope.

Nuclear Islam.

All of you that have clear memories of the cold war with the old Soviet Union should agree with me on this.

We sat on the brink of total annihilation for decades, coming perilously close at least twice to all out nuclear war with the communists.

More than a few people were a BIT concerned about that at the time.

In the end analysis however, nobody really wanted to be vaporized in the million degree heat of a nuclear detonation, or die a slow painful death from radiation sickness.

You see, America, as a religious nation (mostly Christian) with a secular government, understood on a deep philosophical level that god wouldn't appreciate murder on such a mass scale, nor would he reward it.

The Soviet communists, on the other hand, being without religion of any kind had no real interest in a premature demise, as their strict atheism would have them believe that their time on earth was all they had, and perhaps is was best spent NOT being blown to smithereens.

But now we have Islam, or to be more precise, radical Islam, which seems to be in love with the idea of premature death and the rewards it is guaranteed to bring in the afterlife, if said death is under the correct circumstances, i.e. battling the great Satan, The United States of America, and it's evil manservant, Israel.

When viewed in this light (and this is the only correct perspective), absolutely no amount of threatened retaliation for an attack upon the United States with a weapon of mass destruction has any utility whatsoever in deterring such an attack.

Say for instance, Mullah A equips terrorist B with suitcase nuke C.
Mullah A surmises that the great Satan must be punished by leveling a good portion of Manhattan, and if Tehran vanishes in a fireball of retaliation by America, so be it. It is written, it is god's will, and those devout Muslims that died in Tehran were all part of the Jihad, and will be richly rewarded in the hereafter, (72 virgins etc, although I don't know what the women and children are entitled to under the prophet's life rebate program).

In my mind, this leaves only two options, and unless we want the Yankees not to be in the next world series for a very, very tragic reason, we should opt for both.

Destroy Islam’s capacity to manufacture any sort of wmd, as soon as located. I mean right now, today. No warning, no negotiating, no U.N., no consultations. Target it and take it down.

Target every single major holy site in Islam, every important, shrine, mosque, and city.
Mecca, Medina, Najaf et-al, with the clear and unmistakable threat, an unarmed practice warhead dropped in each location. Perhaps one that discharges leaflets. And put it on every TV channel in the world, every paper, and on every radio.
"The people of Islam may survive U.S. retaliation for a WMD attack, but you most cherished holy places, and all imams within, will most certainly NOT."

Oil prices are killing our economy.

And neither Bush nor kerry has a credible plan. One that includes modern, state of the art nuclear power.
But I suspect one or both of them knows what is happening, understand the implications, and has let it go on.
Why?American's entrenched love of gas guzzling vehicles. It's politically unacceptable to try and restrict, tax, or eliminate them. Therefore, the easy answer is to let gasoline prices escalate to the consumer's threshold of financial pain, and the subsequent public outcry for conservation, energy R+D, alternative fuel vehicles, and mass transit. We are so fucking stupid you know, by taxing gasoline just a few short years ago, we could be on our way, instead, we are enriching hostile nations. And not one American auto manufacturer has anything comparable to a Toyota Prius. I expect to see many shiny monster pickups and suv's rotting on front lawns in the next few years.

I'll be laughing at you as you either struggle to pay you gasoline credit card bill, or your v-8 powered luxo road battleship becomes a lawn ornament dedicated to your inflated ego.

I don't watch much TV.

In fact, with the exception of a few movies (old) and TV shows (old) I have spent very little time in front of the tube since 1982. The Army, and mostly swing shift work aided my absence from prime time.
I have never seen an episode of "friends".
Or "Seinfeld" or "The Sopranos".
Not one.
I take it Hollywood now views America much differently.
Getting home mid evening these days, I get to catch snippets of some to the newer network television shows, and frankly, I'm a bit creeped out by Hollywood's worldview.

But the sad fact is, they produce such weirdness because it sells advertising, and it does that because YOU WATCH YOU FUCKING MORONS.

Oh yes, yes indeedy, the American television viewing public has slipped right into the gutter.
No I'm NOT talking about language, nudity, moral themes etc. Not only is that irrelevant, but the truth is much, much worse.

What I'm talking about is the intelligence level, the shockingly outright dumbness of it all.
The self indulgent narcissism and low brow scripting.
Boiled down to their essence, these shows don't have the level of sophistication as represented by an episode of "Leave it to Beaver" much less "The Avengers" or "The Prisoner".
These show are truly, insidiously stupid, and YOU watch them.

You are fucking idiots. You know who you are.

Ya know, I really feel sorry for those that hate Bush.
No, not the ones who simply disagree with him, and won't vote for him but the real die hard BUSH HATER.

You know who I'm talking about, the seething, teeth grinding, spittle popping died in the wool anti Bushie.

Most often found in the form of message board troll, "journalist", smelly street protester or brick thrower.

Back when, the right wing nutcase equivalents were telling me that with the election of Clinton, civilization as I knew it, would cease to be.

Now I didn't like Clinton for a number of reasons and didn't vote for him, but shockingly enough, my world kept spinning.

Now these foaming at the mouth lefties are out there doing their best to subvert fundamental truth in every way possible, with some of the most vehemently vile rhetoric possible, and in several cases, physical action including violence to back it up.

I wonder what they would do if Bush wins?

If Kerry wins, I get up, have my toast and coffee, work, come home, and enjoy my home and family.
In the grand scheme of my life, I'll barely notice.
On an ephemeral level I'll be mildly annoyed to be sure, but for me, I'll do just fine whoever wins.

But these sweaty browed Bush despisers?
How will they survive a Bush victory?

I can envision them gathering in small groups for one last sexual fling (if attractive, group masturbation for those not pretty or handsome) and then perhaps a last snack of power bars and raw carrots, before downing a more potent version of a Jim Jones cocktail, maybe a Demerol and Kahlua or something that might give them a few final moments of bliss before taking the big nap. They would all be found holding hands and clutching kerry photos I suppose.

Watch the debate last night?
I didn't.
Nor any of the others.
Let's face it, if you needed those debates to occur before you were able to select your candidate, you are dumb as a box of rocks.

Why Islam wants us DEAD.

There is a lot of rhetoric going around on just what or who is responsible for Islamic militancy. A lot of fingers get pointed at the United States for supposedly oppressing some brown guy in the desert, yadda.
Well, if you take a hard look at the average islamic extremist/terrorist, his primary consideration for mass murder is that we infidels dare set foot in the holy land.
That's right folks. That's right out of Osama Bin Laden's manifesto.

We defile the sacred ground of Mohammed.

Therefore, we must all be killed.

Let me say this again, they want us dead because we are there.

Now, lets take that premise in historical context.
What peoples have wanted other peoples dead, just because of there mere presence?

The crusades come to mind.
How about ethnic cleansing in Yugoslavia?
What about the slaughters of the hutoos by the tutsies in Africa?
Maybe the current situation in the darfur region of the Sudan.

Or most glaringly, the mass murder of Jews by Nazi Germany?

I have received some flak for the use of the following graphic. I am entirely comfortable with it. I can easily take THE number one symbol of murderous race hatred and hang it around a religion that advocates mass murder.
OH YES IT DOES AND YOU KNOW IT.
ISLAM EITHER SUPPORTS IT OUTRIGHT, TURNS A BLIND EYE, OR REMAINS SILENT.
All of islam are therefore, accessories to murder, torture, genocide, and gross violations of basic human rights.
