I dont hate queers. I just hate when I'm banging a guy and he says, "Hey, you might be a queer." I hate queers like that guy.

Yeah, me too, brother. Me too. You'd think they could wait until I was finished doing them before starting up with their homo recruitment efforts.

And what's with all that mincing about as we're leaving the highway rest-stop? Can't you just act like a man, at least while I'm holding your hand?

This potty-mouthed, strong-sexual content article from the Onion expresses my feelings on that score.

Not just suspended, but taken out behind the dumpsters by the Cafetorium and beaten to hell.

I'm on no sleep. Don't even bother pointing out the fact that I couldn't keep subjects or verb tenses straight in the previous post. I know.

I'm barely functioning. In a way, the sleep-deprivation stupidity is liberating.

It's like getting to be Oliver Willis for a day.

Update: It seems my usual rules of generally polite interaction have been suspended, too. Sorry about that. I seem to be biting people's heads off.

3. Jane Hall, eternal defender of the MSM on the unwatchable Fox News Watch, says on Bill O'Reilly that we mustn't accuse the New York Times of anti-American or treasonous sentiments because reporters are risking their lives in Iraq.

What an absurd nonsequitor. What percentage of all reporters are risking their lives in hotspots, and how much danger are most of them actually putting themselves in?

I don't think James Risen is risking his life revealing secrets to the enemy in the comfort of the nice white professional neighborhoods of DC, except perhaps to the extent he risks a fender-bender by suborning treason as he drives about in an airconditioned Beemer.

Jane Hall and a lot of the liberals in the media keep making this statement -- "You can't criticize us because a small percentage of us are reporting from a dangerous place!" Well, fucking Jane Hall, doesn't that mean you are forbidden to criticize any of those with the most hazardous duty of all -- our troops?

Strange Jane Hall's idea that hazard duty provides immunity from pointed criticism applies only to the priveleged priesthood of the press.

2. This absurdity by Bill Keller, defending his decision to reveal top national security secrets to the enemy:

Some of the incoming mail quotes the angry words of conservative bloggers and TV or radio pundits who say that drawing attention to the government's anti-terror measures is unpatriotic and dangerous. (I could ask, if that's the case, why they are drawing so much attention to the story themselves by yelling about it on the airwaves and the Internet.)

How fucking stupid is that? Mr. Keller, Moron, Esq., let me explain to you: a story can only be broken once. Once it's broken, it can't be rebroken. Further, idiot, because you refused to heed the advice of Democrat 9/11 Commissioner Lee Hamilton and refrain from publishing, the government felt it had to rebut the innuendoes in your story and speak openly about the banking surveillance program.

In other words, shithead, everyone already knew when the "conservative bloggers and TV or radio pundits" were discussing it. As Instapundit asks, do you think Al Qaeda waits to get its take on American news from Rush Limbaugh?

From where is it most likely Al Qaeda found out about the surveillance of SWIFT transfers?

A) The New York Times, the "Paper of Record" in America

B) The Wall Street Journal, the highest-circulation paper in America, which did a story on SWIFT surveillance once they found out the Times was breaking it and would not agree to withhold publication

C) The President and Vice President of the United States, who were forced to publicly speak about the program due to the NYT's disclosures

D) Either A, B, or C

E) Ace of Spades HQ, in between reading about giant crocodiles and monks dragging around heavy weights by their balls

Bill Keller just can't decide which is most likely. Hey, we're all talking about it now, so why point fingers as to who reported it first?

Funny, I don't think he'll take that position when it comes time to nominate his spies/reporters for Pulitzer Prizes. Then I think he'll be quite resolute on the question of who reported it first.

If Bill Keller made himself available for questioning, as he should, he'd be excortiated for such stupidity and dishonesty. But he doesn't expose himself to such embarrassment, and merely intructs us all that he did the right thing in an idiotic non-explanation all but written in the royal we.

1. Juan Williams claims the NYT did American national security a favor, by informing Al Qaeda we were watching their bank transfers, thus forcing them to seek other means of transfering money.

He really said that. First I had no idea what he could possibly mean. Then I listened to it three times to get it right.

He said the financial surveillance was a good program, but that the NYT did this country a favor by "shutting that network down," meaning, shutting down their previous method of moving money. Now they'll find a new way... but he thinks the NYT should be praised for its anti-terrorist efforts by keeping them away from the money-transfer network we're watching.

When Brit Hume patiently explained that it is best for America that we get to see these transfers and arrest terrorists based upon the movement of money, he reversed himself, cluelessly, and suggested we'd still be able to watch the money because they'd still have to move money through SWIFT.

He contradicted himself utterly in the space of one minute. First, it's great that the NYT told Al Qaeda that we were watching their transfers through SWIFT, and hence we'd shut "that network" down. A minute later-- we'll still be able to watch their money-transfers.

Juan Williams is an amazingly stupid man. It never even occurred to him that, if it were indeed better for America to announce we were watching SWIFT transactions to keep Al Qaeada from making wire transfers, government officials would have just made the announcement themselves, rather than begging the NYT and LAT not to reveal the information.

Again: he really said this. President Bush and his national security advisors thought it was better to let them make their transfers, without them knowing we were tracking them, and then using that information to find them. But wily Bill Keller, the Odysseus of Herald Square, knew better, and knew that Bush and the NSA and CIA and FBI were all wet, and that it would be better to reveal this information so they'd just avoid wire transfers recorded and reported by SWIFT.

So we really shouldn't be discussing whether to investigate Bill Keller for violations of the Espionage Act; the proper debate is whether to award him a Presidential Medal of Freedom or not.

No one has a right to be this stupid. Not even in America.

Video of a "Visibly Angry" Bush calling the NYT "disgraceful."

I guess the Presidential Medal of Freedom is less likely than Juan Williams might guess.

No more veiled or not so velied threats of violence against reporters, liberals, etc.

And calm down on the anti-gay stuff. It's one thing to be anti-gay agenda, or to tweak Andrew Sullivan. It's another thing with the repetitive and nasty "I hate queers" shit.

Thanks in advance.

And he callls them, correctly, treasonous. Hot Air has the video.

First will have to come the predicate. That predicate will be a report that suspicious transactions, formerly under surveillance, have been moved from the SWIFT system.

If that happens, there's a real possibility Al Qaeda's Intelligence Agency, also called the New York Times, will be facing some heat. At least the public will accept jailing Keller, Sulzberger, Risen and the other reporters involved until they give up their traitor/sources.

Bill Keller offers up a gassy melange of generalities and bromides to justify his treason.

Here's a question. If the press is indeed the Fourth Estate of government, as they ceaselessly tell us they are, why do they not make themselves available for tough questioning as do all other branches of government? (Well, okay, except the judiciary.)

Would the press accept it if all politicians decided to no longer answer direct questions with tough follow ups, but merely put out self-serving missives such as Keller?

If the press is as vital to democracy as the press insists it is (and I actually believe it is myself), why are they so determined to act without accountability?

"The Predicate:" I want to clarify I'm talking about a political predicate for prosecuting the NYT, or at least demanding they cough up their sources, not a legal one. There's enough legal predicate to haul them before a grand jury and compel them to divulge their witnesses or face jail until they do; they've probably broken the law by printing classified information, and probably could be prosecuted for that.

But then, there was a legal case to prosecute Jihad Johnny Walker Lindh for treason, too -- but we didn't. Going after a newspaper is a big step and no one will do so without public support for such a move.

As someone a lot smarter than me observed, we've usually avoided this problem in the past because the press and government worked under the terms of a tacit truce -- the government would give it a free hand to publish whatever it wanted, so long as the press respected the government's occasional demands to forgo publishing crucial national security information. The press has been acting irresponsibly and even treasonously, driven crazy with Bush hatred.

The press has broken the truce that has kept the peace since the Pentagon Papers case, putting us into a strange new world where jailing newspaper men is not only thinkable, but increasingly necessary if we are to avoid the mass murder of American citizens.

This is the consequence of the Left's silly jihad against the press, claiming it "doesn't stand up to Bush enough." The media, being firmly on the left, takes such criticisms to heart, and now, to prove its mettle to the only Americans whose opinions (or lives) it values, it now acts as Al Qaeda's unofficial US-based intelligence agency.

Jane's -- the big British defense tech publisher -- has been called the world's biggest private intelligence agency. No more. Now it's the NYT, and it's subcontracting itself out to Al Qaeda.

Not safe for work.

Monks demonstrate "groin skills" by dragging heavy weights by their testes, and then show off "Iron Egg Skills" by being repeatedly kicked in the mansac.

The subtitles say it's a "soft form." Well, I should hope so.

Thanks to BrettB.

Say, Isn't There Actual News Today? Update: There sure is. There sure is. Trying to focus my brain on it, but my mind is cloudy from insomnia.

And they say they will not hesitate to add the WMD payloads to the rockets they're routinely launching into Israel.

The Aksa Martyrs Brigades announced on Sunday that its members have succeeded in manufacturing chemical and biological weapons.

In a leaflet distributed in the Gaza Strip, the group, which belongs to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah Party, said the weapons were the result of a three-year effort.

According to the statement, the first of its kind, the group has managed to manufacture and develop at least 20 different types of biological and chemical weapons.

The group said its members would not hesitate to add the new weapons to Kassam rockets that are being fired at Israeli communities almost every day. It also threatened to use the weapons against IDF soldiers if Israel carried out its threats to invade the Gaza Strip.

And what would be Israel's next move, I wonder?

It's easy to adopt a "reasonable" pose and insist on perpetual lenience for a people which is irredeemably bloody-minded and murderous.

At some point, though, the instinct for survival, whatever the alleged moral consequences, takes over.

I for one will not be among those calling for "Israeli restraint" should the Palestinians make their last mistake.

Thanks to ScottY.
