No Postings on March 31

To celebrate the day that this blogmeister officially stops being young.

I share a birthday with political and quasi-political figures Michael Savage, Al Gore, Barney Frank and Patrick Leahy. The Eiffel Tower was also finished on March 31.

March 31 is also the anniversary of the first instance of Daylight Savings Time in the USA (1918), and of Netscape releasing the source code of their browsers under an open source license, which would eventually beget Firefox, Thunderbird and NVu (1998, that being the first day I could legally drink).

Watermelons, Watermelons, Coups and C**ns

An unidentified mathematics instructor at Bellevue (Wash.) Community College is angling to become the Dave Lenihan of the Pacific Northwest, except when this math instructor said “watermelon,” he really did mean to say “watermelon.”

Lenihan was suspended for a short time from his other job, as a Professor at Logan College of Chiropractics in St. Louis County, so I will be curious to see what the Bellevue Community College administration does to this unnamed instructor. I also find it curious that the instructor remains unidentified.

American Coup

Yesterday on his morning show on KFTK-FM, 97.1 on the St. Louis FM Dial, Jamie Allman noted that the most recent issue of Harper’s magazine carried an article. Some speculators in the U.S. Armed Forces are floating theoretical and hypothetical scenarios where the military would engage in a coup d’etat against the American government.

In 1998-9, when the House Republicans impeached President Clinton, left-wing talking heads equivocated the duly Constitutional impeachment to a coup d’etat.

All leftist paranoia aside, one has to ask a lot of questions, and some of them will have very politically incorrect answers.

Are these intellectual exercises just free time fun and games? Perhaps this is just a matter of the writers and editors of Harper’s magazine letting their own imaginations run too far away from reality. Or does the military brass actually forsee a plausible future scenario where they might actually engage in a coup?

My mind leans to the latter.

Why? Think about where military coups happen, and then think about America’s racial demographic future.

Virtually all military coups in the last century have been in either Latin America or Africa.

We know that the population of the United States of America is becoming more and more Latino with every passing year. Notwithstanding any vicious crackdown on the part of the Federal government, that will continue. Mass immigration from the south, combined with high Latino rates of procreation, portends this.

Throw on top of this our existing, native African population, which is growing in terms of raw numbers, but thanks to immigration, is declining in percentage terms. The Africans among us have demonstrated that they can create enough mayhem and revelry on their own, and they could also be used by outside external forces (e.g. Arab/Muslim extremists) to create domestic strife, to draw the American government’s attention away from imperial possessions in the Arab world.

Arabs themselves are a growing racial minority in the country, and so are Chinese and Koreans. They could use their political power for their own racial purposes, and in the case of the Chinese, for the Chinese government’s territorial aggrandizement.

Put all of this together, and extrapolate to the middle of this century.

You will have an America that is majority non-white, wherein racial blocs will gain power and will continue to gain power within governments, and will compete with each other for power.

I can imagine that the American Federal government would be mostly non-white, while the military would still be mostly white.

In such a scenario, I could imagine that most Federal government officers will be traitors and quislings and fifth columnists for whatever non-white power or principality has/had a bone to pick with what used to be a powerful United States of America.

Arabs and their useful idiot Negro shills would weaken the country so that it would yield perpetually to Arab nuclear blackmail. The Chinese among us will neutralize the American government to preclude (what’s left of) American might from posing any competition to Chinese global economic (and maybe also military) dominance in 2050.

Also, territorial dismemberment will be a real possibility in 2050, perhaps much of the Southwest threating to bolt and join with Mexico, California and the west coast becoming part of China, Mexicans and Chinese battling over California, etc. etc.

I know that there are plenty of white American traitors and quislings in the U.S. Senate today, and their perfidy in refusing to crack down on non-white immigration will be the reason why this sort of future will take place. But when that future comes, the non-white Senators will make John McCain and Flimsy Graham seem like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

With all of this imbrogliana and helter skelter going on roundabout 2050, a (still) white dominated Armed Forces might be tempted to start a coup and take over the Federal government by force, in order to assuage non-white treachery and treason, and to restore some order of power and prosperity to what’s left of the white American population.

Also, I could imagine that this 2050 version of “America” would be one where many dispossessed younger to middle-aged white people of the time, whose standard of living has fallen through the floor, could easily be recruited by white military officers for such a coup.

The military could also get political support for this coup from white retirees of 2050, whose government pensions (”Social Security”) and old-age health care benefits (”Medicare”) will face real cuts or elimination because the non-white-run Federal government would rather spend increasingly limited treasury resources on welfare for younger non-whites than on pensions for old gringos/honkeys.

Nobody in the 2006 Armed Forces would admit it, but I think that this is the reason why they’re planning (even hypothetically so) for a coup.

The Dukes of Occupational Hazards

If you are unfamiliar with the details of a scandal revolving around the Duke University Lacrosse Team and an alleged gang rape, here they are in a nutshell.

One detail that is not included in this account but is true is that the party was held at an apartment rented by at least one of the Team’s co-captains.

All but one of Duke’s Lacrosse Team members are white, the one exception is black. All of the players have closed ranks and are refusing to cooperate with the Durham (N.C.) Police invesitgation. The University responded by putting their Lacrosse season on hold and demanding that everyone on the team save the black player submit DNA samples. The black player was exempted because the black stripper alleged that the three men that gang-raped her then yelled racial slurs in her face were white.

Please re-read five times and understand the last sentence in the next paragraph before continuing reading the rest of this commentary, because I don’t want anyone to take anything ambiguous away from what I am saying.

Let’s say for the sake of discussion that the stripper’s allegations are true. If they are, her assailants should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

BUT…

It doesn’t take a Duke University Professor to know that if you’re a young woman and you run around naked in the presence of young athletic men who are always horny and sometimes drunk, that you are very likely to become a victim of this sort of crime.

Beyond all of that, if the allegation of racial slurs are found to be true, I would imagine that the University will make the rapists in their midsts pay racial penance. That won’t be much of a problem for these young men - their defense in that regard is that their decision to hire a black stripper was done in the spirit of equal opportunity and affirmative action.

Durham Police might have a good reason to scrutinize those Dukies, but the EEOC does not.

And let us not forget that, on a fairly frequent basis, I see stories popping up in the sports media about how some college athlete, usually black, and usually basketball or football, was arrested and/or charged with some sort of serious criminal offense, and the most frequent criminal offense that I hear named in these cases is assault.

In Harm’s Way

Front Line is an occasional dead tree and ink publication of the Constitutional Coalition, PO Box 37054, St. Louis, MO 63141. Its editor is Donna Hearne, a very famous figure in the St. Louis area conservative Christian community.

The front page article of the Spring 2006 issue is entitled “Children In Harm’s Way.” The article demonstrates several things:

* In the years after the Vietnam War, the U.S. Military developed simulators to condition American military personnel to become desensitized to killing enemy soldiers, something which American soldiers were not particularly good at up to that point.

* Some of the most violent “mature rated” modern video games are direct descendants of the military’s killing simulators.

* Modern neuroscience has proven that a person’s frontal lobe is not fully mature until about age 25, something that insurance company actuaries could have inferred for a long time.

* Because so many frontal lobe-immature teenagers and young adults are playing these violent video games based on military killing simulators, their brains are being hard-wired for comfortable murder. Neither that statement, nor anything in this article, should be interpreted to mean that every 14-year old that plays Grand Theft Auto will become a murderer. It just means that there’s a higher propensity for such individuals to commit acts of real violence.

* There are several instances of real world crimes where the perpetrator(s) were proven to have been conditioned to commit the crimes based on their overexposure to violent video games in their frontal lobe-formative years. Along with murder, and assassination of police officers, some of these crimes include car theft and rape, two crimes which are also simulated in heavy rotation on certain video games.

* When the U.S. Armed Forces conditions you to kill using their algorithms, they just don’t leave it at that; at the same time, and just as intensely, you are being conditioned to use judgment to know when your “killing instincts” should kick in. This “buffer” training is obviously not found in violent video games.

This brings up a contradiction I have noticed with the way American public policy treats certain things.

Most murders and many other violent crimes are committed with firearms. Some violent crime perpetrators are conditioned to commit their crimes by means of violent video games. But when it comes to keeping “killing tools” out of the hands of young people, the rules are far more stringent, and significantly better enforced, in the realm of the actual firearms over and above the killing simulators.

If you’re a gun shop owner, you know how true the former is. You know that it’s 18 for long guns and 21 for hand guns, and no felons, among many other sundry rules and regulations. Stray from the law one iota and you’ll have the ATF and your state’s government analogue crawling all over your case.

As far as the killing simulators themselves, you can legally purchase them if you’re at least 17, but truthfully the law isn’t fanatically enforced. As it is, the law only pertains to purchasing the “games,” not to possessing them or playing them. Even at that, such laws are not enforced very well or often, and “civil libertarians” bitch a fit even at this low level of legal scrutiny.

The article, through direct statement and implication, says and suggests that 17 is too low of an age limit.

The Front Line article suggests that its readers lobby state legislators to pass a 21 age limit for M-Rated video games and strict enforcement thereof. That would help some, but would not preclude 21-year old from buying Grand Theft Auto as a “straw purchase” for a 14-year old.

My recommendation is that, since violent video games based on killing simulators are specifically designed to condition the young human brain to kill wantonly, and that such “games” don’t include the “judgment buffer” training that real Armed Forces personnel receive, that the violent “games” should be treated like what First Amendment Lawyers call “not protected speech,” akin to advocating the violent overthrow of the Constitution of the United States, or akin to inciting violence on a street corner, and thus should be banned and prohibited, or have very very strict rules and control on distribution and possession.

Whether you’re 14, 24 or 54, there can be nothing good to immersing yourself in a toy that conditions you to kill people, assassinate cops, rape women and steal cars. If you’re 54, and waste time playing these games, you’re not going to go out and do these things, like a 14-year old might well do, because your frontal lobe at 54 is fully developed. Then again, because you have mature judgment, you will leave that copy of Grand Theft Auto alone to collect dust anyway.

By this time, you should know inherently the advice that a certain book banned in public schools would have on the matter:

“…..whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things.” — Philippians 4:8

Racism and No Racism

Ivy League University researchers at Columbia, Princeton and Harvard have released a major study whose thesis is that times are getting worse for black men while they’re getting better for everyone else.

The article hints around the usual bogeymen of racism and discrimination, but also says that the situation for black women is improving.  That just doesn’t fit.

Still, the report recommends more government spending on more programs to alleviate this implied discrimination; of course, such programs will be a boondoggle for social scientists whose college degrees therein would otherwise be useless.

Abuse It and Lose It

Dear Fred Phelps:

I’m for freedom of thought, and of speech, and of expression, and of assembly.  I’m also for cultural and social decency, and tact, and plain common sense.

The former is useless in a society that has none of the latter, and, as you can see, the more you display that you and your people have none of the latter, you and everyone else will lose the former.

If you think that God is punishing America for our embrace of homosexuality, then the last institution you should criticize is the U.S. Military, because it is about the last public institution left that finds homosexuality repugnant enough to keep them in their “closet.”

Roll On

The Blogroll has been moved to a separate page, see the toolbar at the top of this page. The theme used for this blog tends to eviscerate the blogroll that should be on the right side, and even when it does appear, it does not alphabetize itself like it should.

Also you will notice a new blogroll entry; a new search engine called Accoona, advertised on Drudge Radio last night and the Drudge Report today, has news search functionality, and therefore, searching Accoona News for “Council of Conservative Citizens” is part of this webmaster’s daily blogroll.

Raining On Their Parade

On top of the Drudge Report, at one point today, were two stories.  First, the Arizona Valley of the Sun (Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Scottsdale, etc.) is breaking its record-setting 143-day drought.  Second, Arizona’s senior Senator, a resident of Scottsdale, was embarrased by low straw poll numbers at a Republican Confab in Memphis, a Confab that wouldn’t let Tom Tancredo (R-CO) in because it was part and parcel of the Republican left.

Meeting Mr. Zzzent

I received a nice little present left on my front porch this afternoon.  I won’t tell you what it is, except it reminded me that, before I die or before he dies, I would like to meet one Mr. Zebo Zzzent.

For The Whole World To See

One has to do something pretty stupid to win a Darwin Award, but there should be an honorable mention category for this. From NBC 10 Philadelphia:

The NBC 10 Investigators were there when a Bucks County teen was arrested after police discovered that he was showing drugs and guns on a popular Web site…..We believe he’s been dealing both marijuana and probably cocaine in the lower Bucks County area,” said Fred Harrin, of the Bensalem Police Department…..On the MySpace.com home page…..The teen bragged that he was making $250,000 a year - an unlikely claim, police said, but they think the occupation the teen listed - a supplier - is closer to the truth.

Even the PTB dope dealers in Chocolate City USA have enough sense to shoot out the street lamps on the avenues where they deal.

Making Friends

Dear Volkswagen:

After seeing the suggestion in your latest TV commercial, I have decided that I am going to make friends with my slow.

The reason is that I don’t want the St. Louis City Police Department to make friends with my bank account.

Sincerely,

What Super Bowl Bounce

The phrase “Detroit Zoo” is a redundancy.  All one needs to say is “Detroit.”

From WXYZ.com:

Detroit’s financial mess has put the Detroit Zoo on the endangered list.  City council members said their vote was not to close the zoo, but some felt they were being bullied by a state deadline and lawmakers who look down on Detroit…..Collins said, “The symbolism is that Detroit is a black city and that we’re unable to govern ourselves.  So we need an overseer, the state legislature, or what have you, to step in and tell us what we must do and how to do it.”…..”That is a racist attitude.  I resent it very much.  I’m trying not to let it color my judgments, but we’re not a plantation, blacks aren’t owned by white folks anymore,” said Collins.

Maybe not, but you’ll gladly take white folks’ money.

Keep in mind that the “state government” that is referred to pejoratively here has a liberal Democratic governor.

Oh What An Anniversary

A certain optical shop is celebrating its 60th anniversary of business by offering 60% off of all frames and lenses.  Hopefully, I won’t need prescription eyeglasses for another forty years.

I Love You Tomorrow

Given a choice, would you rather have one cookie now, or five cookies tomorrow?

Because most of you who read this blog on a regular basis are sane, rational people who keep your avarice in check and are familiar with delayed gratification, you’ll choose five cookies tomorrow.

There have been real research studies that ask people that same question.  American Renaissance has cited these studies and their results to prove that our bretheren of color cannot conceptualize the concept of delayed gratification and future return on investment, as invariably blacks are far more likely than whites to want the one cookie now.  To clarify, AR contended that this is an issue of low intelligence, not a conscious decision to be greedy.

Let’s apply this to the Powerball jackpot.

Nobody won the $300 million jackpot this past Wednesday, so the jackpot for this Saturday’s drawing is $365 million.

Two days ago, I was in a situation where I was able to overhear two men, both African-American and middle-aged, talk to each other about the Powerball, the afternoon before the drawing for the $300 million.  During their conversation, the issue of the jackpot prize came up.

The Powerball will allow you, if you win the jackpot, to choose between the full jackpot amount prorated over 30 years, or about half of the jackpot amount right now.  For instance, Wednesday’s pot of $300 million could be taken for $10 million a year for 30, or about $150 million right now.

One of the men told the other that the up-front option was a ripoff, because (pph), “they’re ripping you off of half of the money.”

The man that made that statement, like most readers of this blog, but unlike many of his racial bretheren, knows the value of delayed gratification to the tune of an extra $150 million.  I would imagine that most of you would take the 30 year option for that reason.

BUT:  If you are the kind of person that wants or needs it NOW, then it’s actually a very good deal.

“Huh?  How can you say that?  They’re only giving you half of what you would get.”

Yes, that’s right.

But there’s this thing in the world of finance called the Time Value of Money, or TVM for short.

When you go for a loan, you know how much you have to finance, what the interest rate is, and how long it will take to pay the loan off.  Using a not-so-simple equation, one that is too complex to put here, your monthly payment is calculated.  This equation is known as the TVM equation.

If you have a good programmable calculator, like I do (Texas Instruments TI-86) or a business calculator with TVM functions built-in, considering all four values in a loan (number of months in the repayment, the principle financed, the interest rate, and the monthly payment), if you know three of the four, you can calculate the fourth.  This is what your friendly banker does for you when you apply for that mortgage; everything but monthly payment is known, and Mr. Computer calculates that amount.

Sometimes, a situation arises where the unknown value is something other than the monthly payment.

To see why the up-front Powerball prize is a good deal, we have to work backwards in the TVM equation.

For this coming Saturday, the Jackpot is $365 million.  If you choose the up-front option, you get $177.3 million in one felt swoop.  Otherwise, you get about $12.16 million a year for 30 years.

Let’s say you go to a bank and take out a loan for $177.3 million, to be repaid over 30 years, i.e. 360 months.  You get the loan, for an unknown interest rate.  When Mr. Banker plugs in the principal, the number of months and the interest rate into the computer, your monthly payment will be $1,013,888.89.  Over the life of the loan, you will have paid $365 million to the bank over those 30 years.

Now, work backwards.  Plugging the three known variables here yields that the interest rate is:  5.56%.

Therefore, if you take the $177.3 million now instead of $365 million over thirty, you’re conceding an interest rate of only 5.56%.

I did some research, and today’s average, in the St. Louis Metro Area, for a 30-year fixed, non-jumbo, 1.000 point, 90% LTV mortgage is 5.78%.

Compare this to the fact that people WILLINGLY agree to credit card interest rates (on paper) of upper teens and low twenties of percent in interest, and to terms in the credit card contract that are so onerous that, if one gets a little behind, then the vicious circle of late fees and interest rates will ramp up that, in a real-world example I know, a person had two credit cards that had effective interest rates of 211% and 237%.

Compare this to the fact that people will go to fly-by-night “rent-to-own” joints that, not only overinflate their “retail” price for their several year old merchandise, but then on top of that offer credit terms that mean effective interest rates in the 200s and 300s in percent.

Compare this to the fact that some banks in St. Louis are now offering 12-month CDs in the 4.7% neighborhood.

Compare this to the fact that, at the moment, the Prime Rate (the market rate that banks charge its best and most creditworthy customers for loans) is 7.50%.

For those of you who are familiar with the TVM equation and proficient in algebra, you know the reason why loans with long terms, like mortgages, will mean that a borrower will have paid so much back to the bank that, by the end of the loan, he or she will have given the bank in aggregate twice or three times the original loan principle.  The reason is, looking at the TVM equation, the “number of months” variable is in such a place to where it wields the most algebraic leverage over the rest of the equation.

This is why you get so “little” up-front in one lump sum instead of the whole jackpot over thirty years, if you choose that option.  It’s just the “number of months” variable working in the opposite mathematical direction.

With all this having been established, what Powerball is offering is a very fair deal, if and only if you want it all today.

As for me, I can’t wait until tomorrow.

Watch the Spinning Wheel Turn

I’m sure you’ve heard of Meals on Wheels.

How about Weed on Wheels?

Sandy Friend, 43, of Washington County, has been arrested and charged with dealing marijuana.  He is an ambulance driver for the Washington County (Missouri) Ambulance District.

Observation

So, the Vice-President of the United States accidentally shoots a friend while on a Texas hunting trip for a sort of bird that also sounds like the name of someone who used to be Vice-President.  All of this makes me think of something that another former Vice-President did with a rifle in his younger days.

Center of All Things

Once upon a time, most educated people though the Earth was the center of the universe, and everything revolved around it.

Then, a brave Italian named Galileo Galilei, the namesake of the ISP that hosts the static version of the St. Louis CofCC Webpage, bolstered with the knowledge of at least a century of research and implication previous to himself, and adding his own research and observation to it, challenged the long-held orthodoxy.  While he had to backtrack in order to save his life from those who were too emotionally invested in the dying orthodoxy, the die was cast, and educated Europeans understood that the Earth was not the center of the universe.

About the only people that haven’t gotten the message yet is the American national MSM.

If you were to ask someone who works for the national MSM out of New York, they would think that the world’s boundaries are the Hudson River on the west, the East River on the east, Wall Street on the south, and Harlem on the north.  Anything that happens outside of those boundaries might as well happen on Pluto.

Now that we had a weekend “noreaster” dump not only a record amount of snowfall, 26.9 inches, on New York Central Park, and the storm saved its fiercest wrath for Manhattan, by watching the national MSM, you would think that it never snowed anywhere before now.

To prove my point, while Drudge Radio was on a break last night for a top-hour break, a story on the radio news that KFTK-FM carries (Fox News Radio) was about the weekend’s top grossing movies.  The Pink Panther took the top honor, and the radio reporterette said that it did so despite the blizzard.  (Emphasis mine.)

It must never occur to them that there are movie theatres in this country outside of the “noreaster” corridor, though none have been built on Pluto yet.

I Went To Jared

I’m getting tired of all these women who get on these TV commercials and brag to their friends about how their husbands went to Jared.

I went to Jared myself - and ordered the six-inch spicy buffalo chicken on wheat.

Standard Candles

It’s a great day when certain people say and do things that you can use to gaze into their mindset and answer questions that were previously unanswered.

One of my hobbies is astronomy. In that realm of study, among its professionals, one of the great questions is trying to figure out how far away an object is, like a star or a galaxy. Because we cannot travel to another star or another galaxy, we just can’t use a supergiant tape measure between here and Andromeda.

Luckily, science has provided us an answer to figure these distances by inference. As it turns out, there is a numerical relationship between how intrinsically bright an object is, how bright the object appears to you, and your distance from the object. For instance, if you’re at an unknown distance from a light bulb that you know is a 40-watt bulb, and you see the light bulb, you can use an instrument to calculate how bright the light bulb is where you are, and once you figure that out, you have two of the three variables. Simple math will yield the third variable, the distance.

Through many years of study, the science of astronomy has yielded the intrinsic brightness of many kinds of far-away objects. Since we can see those objects here on Earth, simple math will calculate the distance. Objects whose intrinsic brightness is known and are used as barometers to calculate distance are known as standard candles.

For the most distant galaxies, only the brightest kind of standard candles can be used, because the dimmer standard candles cannot be seen at great distances by our current technology. Trouble is, those brightest sorts of standard candles, supernovae, are the kind that only “explode” once in awhile. Astronomers, therefore, gather ’round the ole telescope when a supernova explodes in a far-off galaxy, because then and only then, the distance to that galaxy can be figured.

A standard candle of the political sort just exploded in the country of Iran. We already know the distance in miles from here to Tehran, so that is inconsequential. But studying the standard candle that just went off in Iran can clue us in to the mindset of our enemies.

Here is the standard candle: Iran’s largest newspaper is going to sponsor a contest for the best cartoon mocking the Nazi-era Holocaust of the Jews. The winner will receive a prize of two gold coins. Before anything else can be examined, the irony here is that Iran’s President, and probably most of its population, deny that the Holocaust even happened.

The raison d’etre for the contest is retribution for the “Cartoongate” scandal.

Now this is interesting. The Danish cartoons that mocked radical Islam were not drawn by Jews, or published in Jewish newspapers, or originated in countries with significant Jewish populations. They were drawn by white gentile Nordics, published in newspapers with white gentile Nordic management, in countries run almost exclusively by white gentile Nordics.

Yet, the Iranians think that the proper response to the cartoons is to insult Jews.

Why?

I believe this Iranian newspaper contest provides a valuable insight into the radical Islamic mind. It also provides an insight into the minds of certain domestic black extremists. I also think it’s a lesson to some of you in our ideological area code who seem to have swastikas carved in your retinas.

Traditional forms of anti-Semitic ideology espoused by some white gentiles over the centuries, ranging from the Catholic Church (up to a point in history, definitely not today’s Vatican), from Adolf Hitler and his political party, and to a small segment of white gentiles today, hold that Jews are two things: (1) Distinctively different from white gentiles such that they are a different race, and (2) Incessantly scheming to increase their own power at the necessary expense of that of white gentiles.

Looking at these events in Iran through that prism would lead one who does look at the world through those kind of glasses to believe that what the Iranian newspaper is doing is paradoxical.

Take off your glasses, because I think I’m about to advance a theory that will make things a lot clearer.

The “anti-Semitism” expressed in the Arab/Muslim world is based on their hatred and jealousy of white people in general. I know that Iranians are Aryan, in fact, “Iran” is Farsi for “Aryan” - you need not correct me.

The “anti-Semitism” espoused on American soil by black radicals in the Nation of Islam and other assorted groups and individuals, is based on their hatred and jealousy of white people in general.

In other words, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the late Yassir Arafat, Osama Bin Laden, Louis Farrakhan, Onion Horton and Lizz Brown did/do espouse sentiments of what is called anti-Semitism, and so did Adolf Hitler, George Lincoln Rockwell, William Pierce and so do their modern-day followers and analogues.

To be fair, Louis Farrakhan publicly backtracked on his anti-Semitism a few years back. He gave no public reason, but that was just about the time when he had to have heart surgery in a New York City hospital - perhaps when he looked up and saw that his surgeon’s name was closer to “Berkowitz” than “Al Sadir,” he figured he should be on good terms with the man who was about to cut his chest open.

But the two kinds of anti-Semitism are not the same. In fact, they are polar opposites of each other.

The former group hate Jews precisely because they hate white people. In other words, they simply believe that Jews are just a “whiter” permutation of the white race. The latter group, as I explained, hate Jews because they think Jews are something diametrically opposite the white race.

Looking at what happened yesterday in Iran through the prism of the theory I just advanced, it is not a paradox for that Iranian newspaper to sponsor that contest. In their minds, the way to get back at white people for insulting their religion’s founding Prophet is to mock the most horrible thing that ever happened to the “flagship” division of the white race.

Plugging this theory into the other great Middle Eastern question of our time, if Israel were not Jewish, I think the Arabs/Muslims would despise its presence just as much, and would still ambition to wipe it off the map.

All Around Berg, Er, Town

I knew something was amiss when I woke up this morning.

Every morning, for as long as I could remember, KMOX radio has played a musical version of The Lord’s Prayer at about 5:30 a.m. This morning, I woke up, hit good ‘ole 1120. The song sounded a little unusual — an all-male chorus, adorned by trumpets and drums, singing in German — didn’t sound like the Lord’s Prayer to me. In fact, after the song was over, the announcer, speaking in German (must have been a new hire at KMOX, I thought) said the song was titled “Horst” something or another.

After eating breakfast, which seemed to taste like sour cabbage this morning - even my taste buds must be hung over - I hopped into the ole car and made my way out to my usual Sunday morning quiet place past the suburbs. Hm, Ford must have changed its logo from the blue oval to something that looks like a chrome, three-pointed inverted star. About time.

I made my way through the city and suburbs, and as I did - from the city’s Central West End, to Clayton, to University City, to Creve Coeur, a lot of storefronts seemed to have been vandalized - some fools painted them with graffiti, looks like white six-pointed stars and the word “Juden” above them. You know how kids are these days. Aha, there you go, I can see a bunch of ‘em now doing just that to some storefront out here in Creve Coeur. For some reason, they’re all dressed in brown. It’s just as well, it’ll make it easier for the cops to catch ‘em.

So I called 9-1-1 on the cell, and before too long, a couple of squad cars, with the words “DER POLIZEI” marked on the side, made their way to the crowd of brown-clad teenagers. I figured that my job here was done, and these “polizei,” as they seemed to want to call themselves now, will handle the situation. I hope all their Chevy sedans have a lot of room, because they had a lot of teenagers to arrest. Wait, those weren’t Chevy sedans, those were B.M.Ws. So much for Buy American.

I couldn’t help but notice that the American Flag patches that these “polizei” wore on their uniforms seemed a little different. It appears that each of the fifty stars on the flag have been replaced by something that looks to be a kooky-looking bent cross. What’s up with that mess?

This is when I began to get worried. Was I in the middle of some perverted dream? The last movie I remember watching where the lead actor was so mystified by his strange surroundings was one where that actor them went to a trash can, took out a newspaper that was just deposited, and read the date as “November 5, 1955.” I found the nearest paper box, and the date read February 5, 2006. En route back to the car, I did a double take - the front page story on the newspaper was something about someone named “Fuhrer” debating some kind of final solution with his cabinet. Methinks some of his advisors will be on the unemployment line soon.

Back into the car, and back onto a road that was now called “Autobahn 40,” (I know MoDOT was supposed to fix that stretch, but I didn’t think it would be done this soon), I finally cleared my head and made my way out to Busch Wildlife Reserve, in rural St. Charles County. Nearing the entrance, my nose sensed an awful smell, like something being incinerated. I know there was once a military-grade incinerator operating near Weldon Spring, but that thing gave up the ghost decades ago, and a few years back, all traces of it were finally cleaned up, as if it never existed.

Yet, there it was. The closer I got to the incinerator, the more I realized that the smell I was smelling was that of living organisms, probably mammals, being incinerated.

To get away from the smell, I pulled into the Wildlife Reserve. Where are all the animals? I’m guaranteed to see wild turkeys and deer, at the very least, usually more. Not only were there more animals, but the further I got into the park, the closer I got to an area where…..wait, some man who calls himself S.S. won’t let me go any further. But my eyesight is good enough to where I can see what’s going on from this distance. Looks like Federal agents are digging trenches in the ground, ruining this park. Next to the trenches they’re building are dump trucks that are dumping hoardes of stuff into the trenches, I’m assuming for burial. The things all appear to be pale-colored, gelatinous things, maybe anywhere from five to six feet long.

If I wouldn’t know any better, they appear to be human bodies. But that I can’t discern from this distance, this S.S. character is getting cross with me, every second word out of his mouth seems to be “Achtung.”

I just got out of there, away from that awful sight, that horrid smell, and just found me another park.

This can’t be happening. But it is.

What? You say it isn’t? You say I’m making this all up?

Wait a minute. All these things ARE happening.

They HAVE to be happening. After all, Hugo Chavez said yesterday that George Bush was worse than Hitler. And it has to be true, because he’s a good progressive Marxist, with the Jimmy Carter stamp of approval and everything. Those kind of people NEVER lie.

Befuddled

From ABC News:

In the midst of fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the global war on terror, leaders of the Pentagon today declared war on an editorial cartoon…..The cartoon, by Washington Post editorial cartoonist Tom Toles, uses a disabled soldier as a metaphor for a damaged Army…..Rumsfeld was asked about the dispute today but demurred. “No one questions the right of a cartoonist to do what they want to do and people do it all the time. They’ve been doing it for decades,” Rumsfeld said at the National Press Club. “People made fun of George Washington, they just brutally savaged Abraham Lincoln.”

Donald Rumsfeld, George Washington. I get ‘em mixed up all the time.

In fifty years, if Rummy’s face is on the $1 bill instead of George Washington, then come back to me and tell me I’m all wet.

Many critics of the Iraq war think that Donald Rumsfeld’s face should be on the $3 bill. Sorry people, I already have that honor reserved for Morris Dees.

Goofy Parents

While at a certain department store today, and I won’t mention the name but hint around a certain Senator from Wisconsin, I saw a T-Shirt for sale in the Boys department that read, “Will You Take My Parents Please?”

Since this T-Shirt was small, it was meant for a small boy. Since small boys don’t buy clothes, this means that for a small boy to have this, their parent(s) had to have purchased it for them.

I would LOVE to meet the kind of dippy parents who would buy that kind of T-shirt for their young son.

It’s A Zoo Out There

For all of you who, like me, have the persona of a grizzley bear when you wake up in the morning, I hereby proclaim the St. Louis Zoo the best zoological park in the world.

Why? This morning, they let their hibernating groundhog stay that way.

I’m crossing my fingers that, maybe, just maybe, one Two-of-February morning one year soon, Punxsutawney Phil will bite back and bite hard.

All In A Day’s Life

How much news can fit in a day?

Alito confirmed.  Greenspan retires.  Coretta Scott King passes.  Bush speaks.  Ken Lay on trial.  Oscar nominations.  Media Day at Super Bowl.

That’s not counting the day’s most pressing affair.  The ear-splitting screamers are on Fox tonight the hour before the State of the Union.

New Orleans Is Back To Normal, Part 2

From the AP:

Mayor Ray Nagin suggested Monday that Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and other storms were a sign that ‘God is mad at America’ and at black communities, too, for tearing themselves apart with violence and political infighting.

Let’s see if the MSM and more importantly, the left-wing blogosphere, erupt into the same level of anger that they did when Pat Robertson suggested that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had a stroke because God punished him for his anti-Jewish perfidy.

Also from the same AP article:

Nagin also promised that New Orleans will be a ‘chocolate’ city again. Many of the city’s black neighborhoods were heavily damaged by Katrina.

The truth of the matter is that New Orleans will probably become a white, left-wing, yuppified/gentrified, alternate-orientation city, with most of the non-whites being legal or illegal Hispanics who will be the service workers for the former.

Imagine the uproar from the MSM that would occur if a white mayor of any given city wishes that his or her city would become “vanillafied.”

New Orleans Is Back To Normal, Part 3

Apparently, all of the pandemic problems that existed in New Orleans before Katrina, in addition to all the new ones caused by Katrina, have been solved, so that the New Orleans City Council could waste time to pass a UNANIMOUS resolution imploring the city’s NFL franchise (which might not be in New Orleans for much longer) to hire an African-American Louisiana native as the team’s next head coach.

Apropos

In 2006 so far, we have had three deaths from the Bird Flu in a country that is also the name of a bird.

P.O. Blues

Is anyone else but me beginning to think that the raison d’etre of the U.S. Post Office is to be the private delivery service for Capital One Bank of Baltimore, Maryland?  This webmaster has received nine Capital One credit card solicitations so far this week, three in one day.  Bear in mind that the Capital One Post Office still has two days of operation remaining this week.

Post Office horror story:   I found out from a company I ordered a part from four weeks ago that the most likely reason why I have not received the part, and why the company hasn’t even received the mailed order for the part, is that the Capital One Post Office lost my mailed order somewhere in the system, probably stuck in between two Capital One credit card solicitations.  I went to the nearest Capital One Post Office building to have a clerk put in a Money Order Inquiry Form, fortunately, I purchased a Capital One Post Office money order to pay for the part.  I had no wait at all, and a white clerk, one who has worked at that particular Post Office for awhile, and one who recognizes me, waited on me and filled out the proper forms.

While I was waiting, a line started to form behind me, and a new African-American clerk came to the front to help, though she did not actually wait on any customers who took turn-o-matic numbers, she just asked if anyone had any large packages to pick up.  After awhile, one white man waiting in the line started to go postal, and demanded to the black clerk to see the Manager.  She said the Manager was not there, and the man left and said he was going to the main Post Office in downtown St. Louis to complain to higher-ups, and said these things in an angry tone.

After he was out the door, the black clerk started laughing out loud.

It would be of no use to complain to any of her superiors or her superiors’ superiors, for if they found out what she did, she’ll probably get a promotion in earnest.

Good Idea

Has anyone noticed that Ted Kennedy has lost a lot of weight recently?  He actually looks quite spry.  

This must mean that someone invented diet tequila.
