Gay rights protesters interrupted President Barack Obama's speech at a fundraiser for California Sen. Barbara Boxer (D) Monday night in Los Angeles.

Activists from a group called GetEQUAL began shouting at Obama while he was speaking at the podium. They expressed frustration over the slow progress of repealing the ban on openly gay people serving in the military.

Is this the kind of dangerous hate speech that will lead to the next Timothy McVie that Slick Willie was talking about? Let's see the Lame Stream Media bleat on about this.

"An independent report on Waco written by the Harvard Professor of Law and Psychiatry, Alan A. Stone, for the then Deputy Attorney General Philip Heymann, says it “is difficult to believe that the US government would deliberately plan to expose twenty-five children, most of them infants and toddlers, to CS gas for forty-eight hours”. Unfortunately, however, that appears to have been exactly the plan..."


Way to go, Billy Jeff.  Burning children to death and then blaming it on Rush Limbaugh is just so clever.

Yeah, Can you shoot? I mean really shoot? Get yourself a small varmint rifle. If the range is under 200 yards a .204 Ruger will do.Mount a 16X scope and sight the rifle in at 200 yards. Get familiar with the balllistics enough to make mid range corrections. Crows are intelligent. If you bump a couple off, the others will get the message and avoid the area of swift and sure death. Repeat as needed. Also, as a side note, bumping a crow off at 200 yards is a hoot.

Flouride emitted by the Laki eruption killed half of Iceland's livestock, and the ensuing famine  killed a quarter of Iceland's population. It spewed a vast toxic cloud of sulfur dioxide over Western Europe killing tens of thousands, and contributed to several years of extreme weather and reduced crop production. Some link that eruption, which helped fuel famine, to the French Revolution.

Please god, let the famine claim Bjork and cause another French Revolution. The Europeans need another good continental war, and our industrial cities could use increase sales of armaments to europe.

25 "I am tired of being told the Republicans are the party of wall street and big business, when it is clear from the list of donations who really is. I think 3 of Obama's top five donors are financial companies."

Hey, that's a good idea. Let's take a look at McCain's contributors, shall we?

Wow! I see here that the top 5 contributors to John McCain are all Wall Street financial companies - same as Barack Obama:

* Merrill Lynch
* Citigroup
* Morgan Stanley
* Goldman Sachs
* & JP Morgan Chase

It's almost as if no matter who we elect, Wall Street has already bought the guy!

The fact of the matter is that financial companies own the incumbents of both parties. They donate to both parties because both parties are their fucking bitch.

If a politician has been around as long as John McCain, or Barack Obama, they're bought and paid for by Wall Street. They've long been fully corrupted.

That's why there are unlimited bailouts that your children will pay for and why your equity in your home has been stolen from you by these fuckers with not one of them going to jail.

One motherfucker on Wall Street has been accused - civilly, not criminally mind you - of ripping people off. He's the scapegoat, offered up by Goldman Sachs executives working in concert with officials in the Obama regime - according to my very reliable internal sources. (Congressional Republicans take note ... this will be an excellent area of investigation once you have control of the gavels of your respective Congressional committees.)

But let's just take a stroll down memory lane and remember who came up with the TARP program: Republicans. Signed by George W. Bush of the Republicrat Party. Progressive. Compassionate.

In other words - Democrats in all but name.

Argue amongst yourselves whether TARP was needed or not ... but strategically it was fucking monumentally stupid, because now Democrats have a never-ending $700 billion slush fund they can use to pay off their union buddies, ACORN, the Mafia, Black Panther precinct enforcers, SEIU thugs ... you know, their side.

If you're sick and tired of Wall Street stealing our tax dollars, then it's time to have a wholesale removal of every currently elected official Republican and Democrat alike. Because they're all bought. They've all been bribed. They're almost all millionaires.

Take off and nuke the site from orbit.

Only way to be sure.

I would think this Volcano eruption would help lessen peoples belief in the green movement. This should help make it clear that we are at the mercy of this powerful planet, and that my pouring used motor oil mixed with fermented dog excrement into the local resevoir isn't going to cause the world to end.

Just think if a volcano this small can do this kind of damage, imagine what i real volcano could do in a populated area. I don't think we could stop it with Jersey Barriers and Fire Trucks like Tommy Lee Jones did in the movie "Volcano" made by hollywood, the same hollywood that tells us it understands science and the global warming science is settled.

24 Crows are a lot smarter and more social; also more aggressive.  I second the .17mhr; heck, a decent bb gun might even do the trick.  You need to disrupt and annoy their lives enough to make them fly off to someplace else -- that's about the only way to be rid of them.  The first thing to determine is why they like your place so much.

As for the volcano -- I don't really want to see famine and whatnot, but I'm not feeling very charitable towards those folks anymore that's for sure.

40 Obama donors:

Here is where the real problem is. It is not Wall Street firms (although they are definitely knee-deep in the bribing game).

The real problem is that the government has organized itself into unions and government officials are donating to the very politicians who negotiate contracts with their union donors - an incredible conflict of interest.

The government has long organized itself into unions who work against us - the citizens.  This has to be outlawed - but neither Republicans nor Democrats are proposing that we outlaw public employee unions.

These people are robbing us fucking blind giving themselves raise after raise, pension increase after pension increase, holidays, days off, generous health benefits. You name it.

The average government worker now makes 100% more in salary and benefits than the average private sector worker. It's fucking sickening.

Neither side is doing a fucking thing about it. It's not even a plank in the Republican Party platform. What a fucking shame.

And that's why I predict that the Tea Party is going to replace the Republican Party. The Republicans are no longer even fighting the correct battle.

Also, as a side note, bumping a crow off at 200 yards is a hoot.

I was horrified and stressed by the gangsta tactics employed by crows when harassing and assaulting Mama Great Horned Owl, who resides in SO's woods. When the crow posse flew overhead, in a weary retreat from the crime of the day, I so wished I had a firearm to take them out.

I understand that they are natural enemies and that Mama owl is a crow-eater, (somebody's got to do it). I am now a card-carrying member of the Insane Anti-Crow Posse.

I would like to believe that yes, this volcano would make people question just how much influence humans have over the weather (my unscientific guesstimate would be none to very little) and quit this bs Goreble Warmening and Man caused Climate Change in droves -- perhaps start thinking of actual, realistic, necessary, and (I don't know) helpful(?) methods of conservation and resource stewardship.

But that would be way too much of a mental stretch for a lot of folks -- they'll keep on yammering about it, and the manbearpig consortium will just continue to become richer and more powerful.  Still, one can hope.

I'm also quite the fan of Gaia -- she seems to be tweaking manbearpig quite frequently nowdays; good on the heartless bitch.

Her side:
LaDonna Glenn told police she hit the door, which was locked, with a hammer to open it. When her husband let her inside, she placed the hammer forcefully on the table. Her husband threw her to the ground, hurting her right knee. He pinned her and would not let her free, she said.

Yes, exactly.

These are officials inside the US government, who receive huge government paychecks, who are then kicking back some of that money to donate to candidates for office who they then negotiate with for salary and benefit increases.

Sound like a mafia to you?

Your government has organized itself against you and is now funding its own candidates for political office - using our tax dollars in the form of salary kickbacks to the politicians.

And neither the Democrats or the Republicans propose to do anything to stop that.

Big difference between grackles and crows.  Grackles are large, attractive, black with an overlying DuPont Chroma type coloring [iridescent]who make very interesting noises as has been mentioned earlier.  They are about the size of a blue jay with the same long tail and with good sized bills. 

Crows are much larger and magnificent birds.  In the Plains states crow populations were decimated by west nile virus along with many other of the larger species, owls, hawks, etc.  They are rebounding and we do our part by providing cracked corn and day-old bread for them and the deer.  They will make runs at the deer to try to control as much as the bread as possible.  Some deer retreat but most stamp their front legs.

I'm sorry you find it necessary to destroy these birds.  They are viscious little bxstards as are all birds, but when I watch crows, one really gets the sense of their dinosaur lineage and how their ancient forebears probably behaved.  Give me a crow any day.

72 Polanski Begs Obama for Mercy

It is unclear what Polanski or President Sarkozy, for that matter, think Obama might be able or willing to do for a man who has acknowledged giving a Quaalude and champagne to a 13-year-old girl who he then sodomized.

Politically, pre-conviction clemency for Polanski might spark outrage along the lines of the infamous Marc Rich pardon (and it could only be ordered by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger), and personally it is difficult to imagine the American president helping a man who used drugs and alcohol to manipulate a girl who was only a few years older than the Obamas' eldest daughter into sex.

I also told you the poisoning probably wouldn't work (yeah, I'm giving you a touch of shit, but it's out of love brother0.  Find out what's attracting them to your place and get rid of it, then make the environment uncomfortable for them -- that's about the only thing that could work.

Indeed, Outlaw.  It's ironic that the socialist loons call us "fascists" when they're basically following a playbook that could have been co-written by Hitler and Stalin.

Here's more cheerful news:

North Korea is preparing for a third atomic test that may come in May or June, South Korean broadcaster YTN reported on Tuesday, an act that could further isolate Pyongyang and complicate already troubled nuclear diplomacy.

I dunno if Littl' Kim just wants attention, but remember that the Iranians get a lot of material and nuke tech from the North Koreans.  The Norks might be testing the Iranian's bomb for them.

In the end, there will be only chaos.

Kemp,

Growing up in Oklahoma, my buddy had an Uncle with a real bad crow problem. He offered us $1 a bird.. We loaded up the shotguns, a big bag of feedcorn, and a cooler of beer(hard to get, we were underage) and headed out-men on a mission.

We found a nice tree, scattered the corn, waited. The crows would come, eat, rest in the tree. When

a the tree got full, we just walked underneath, unloaded the shotguns real quick-5 rds each. averaged 12 birds each time.

Pick up dead birds, rinse, repeat- after a couple times the crows get smart and quit coming back- we would move to another tree.

Good day- we made $130 between us, IIRC.....

Have you tried making inappropriate sexual advances towards the crows?

 

In all seriousness though, you should go down to the local  pound and find two of the meaning f'ing cats they have and let them go in your back yard. put milk outside every day so they stick around, but keep them as outdoor cats. They will take care of that problem. Then when the crows are gone, the cats are easy to kill off.

It is unclear what Polanski or President Sarkozy, for that matter, think that Obama might be able or willing to do for a man who has acknowledged giving a Quaalude and champagne to a 13-year-old girl he then sodomized.

As fans of Soccer, you should get fully prepared at first. For example, you would better prepare a suitable pair of soccer cleats , a set of soccer jerseys or whatever. Otherwise, you will not enjoy an exciting football match. Anyway, it is necessary and essential to prepare for the football match in a good way.(yang)
