Me in my Tablecloth...

OR we could strive to win…
The objectionable thing about the proposed Baker-Hamilton “talks” is not that they are talks but that they give the impression of looking for someone to whom to surrender…

Sharks 'n' Vultures
and Big Phat Race-Baiting Bux—oh my.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Two men who say they were insulted by actor-comedian Michael Richards during his racist rant at a comedy club want a personal apology and maybe some money…
According to their attorney, Gloria Allred, they were ordering drinks when Richards berated them for interrupting his act.
... Allred complained Friday that [Richards] “has not apologized to his victims directly, face to face, man to man.”
...Allred, speaking by phone from Colorado, said Richards should meet McBride and Doss in front of a retired judge to “acknowledge his behavior and to apologize to them” and allow the judge to decide on monetary compensation.
“It’s not enough to say ‘I’m sorry,’” she said.She did not mention a specific figure, but pitched the idea as a way for the comic to avoid a lawsuit.
“Our clients were vulnerable,” Allred said. “He went after them. He singled them out and he taunted them, and he did it in a closed room where they were captive.”
The video of Richards’ outburst shows several people getting up and walking out *cough* as he shouts at the audience.

Happy Thanksgiving
As of now, we still have a firm hold on the legal structure of our liberties, which is, of course, The Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution. The people in Washington frequently find this annoying, as well they should. The Constitution was specifically designed to annoy the central government. It is critical, however, that the people, and particularly our legislators, understand this. As it is proclaimed at the Alamo Monument, “Freedom isn’t free!” There is a price, and historically that price has been paid more often in blood than in cash. This idea is frequently labeled “extremist” by the Left, and it may indeed be so, but this nation was founded by extremists, and what we may be thankful for at this Thanksgiving holiday is the fact that extremists made this country “the last, best hope of earth.”

Jackboots
tied to a trial balloon
This is what we must come to expect from the Moonbats who are now drunk loaded with power after their teeny tiny “mandate.”
That Olberman loon on MSLSD seems to think he can try to tie the actions of some nut job in mailing white powder letters to politicos, MSM fulk, Jon Stewart and Olberdoosh his own self to [wait for it] Malkin, Ingraham and Coulter. Because they’re “truculent.” And, being The Olberdoosh, he weasels out and leads by the nose some odd little man he is interviewing into actually saying the words.
But, mark my words, this buffoon and others like him are just the shock-wave troops. Easily dismissed but who, with their nutroots whinging and shrill screeching, have desensitized US to the demand that anyone of a dissimilar opinion to the Toooolerant Team oughta siddown and shaddap. They’ve called US everything from ‘thuggish’ to ‘stupid’ *cough* to ‘red neck’ to insignificant. And, since the person flinging the poo is of the red-rubber-nose and big-floppy-shoes set—like CINDY and Mikey and Rosie—we’ve turned up our collars and chosen to ignore ‘em.
Bad idea. It’s a bad idea to accept in stride poo-flinging from anyone—even the short-bus-crowd—because it emboldens the rest to do likewise. And when they meet with the inevitable negative response, they only become harsher. And bolder. And try to associate disagreement with incitement to domestic terrorism and goading of accolades. And the first thing ya know, conservative ideas are classed as ‘hate speech,’ there is a demand for ‘equal time’ with ‘wingnut raadio,’ and blogs are McCainFeingolded.
And that ain’t a’gonna set too well with me.
I think it’s way past time to bring out the big guns: hold our line in the sand, assault ‘em with facts, demand apologies and retractions and use some of their own ‘tooolerance’ and ‘diveeersity’ memes to hoist ‘em high on their own petards. We’re ‘bout half-way down that slippery slope and at the bottom I’m pretty sure I glimpse a great steaming pile of what I muck outta stalls and a cage.
What year is it again?
will the real Mister Bond please call your office
Alexander Litvinenko, an ex-KGB colonel who fled the current Russian regime to claim asylum in Britain, is under armed police guard in hospital.
Sources have confirmed that the Russian was taken suddenly and dangerously ill on November 1 while investigating the recent murder of dissident Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya. Mr Litvinenko was poisoned following a clandestine meeting with an associate at a sushi bar in London’s Piccadilly.
The ex-KGB man was given documents which claimed to name Ms Politkovskaya’s killers. According to the papers, she was murdered by four members of President Vladimir Putin’s federal security service, known as the FSB. A source close to Mr Litvinenko claimed he had been the victim of a revenge attack by the increasingly hard-line Russian regime.
...Thallium - an odourless, colourless poison - can be lethal even in doses of less than a gram.
...In 1998, shortly after Mr Putin was appointed head of the FSB, he invited Mr Litvinenko to meet him. Mr Litvinenko has described how he used the occasion to tell Mr Putin about corrupt practices in the organisation. The meeting was cut short and he was suspended.
In November that year he went public with his claims - including the bombshell allegation that the FSB had plotted to kill the business tycoon Boris Berezovsky. From that point on, Mr Litvinenko was in and out of jail, facing corruption charges, until he fled to Britain.
Plus ça change ...

subversion?
izzat some kinda sammich?
SMITHFIELD, N.[orth freakin’] C.[arolina fercryinoutloud]—A Spanish teacher at Smithfield-Selma Senior High School resigned this week after handing out an assignment that some students and parents said teaches hate.
Khalid Chahhou, who was in his first year of teaching in Johnston County, gave students a worksheet in which they were to translate words and find them within a word-search puzzle.
Some students started uncovering strange words in the process.
“There were words like ‘kill,’ then I saw it said ‘destroy America,’” Eric Herrera said.
As they read on, students found the puzzle contained a paragraph that contained the following phrases:
- Sharon killed a lot of innocent people,” a possible reference to former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
- Palestine is not a terrorist group.
- Allah help destroy this body of evil making humanity miserable.
Thank You Nancy “Since September 11, many Muslim Americans have been subjected to searches at airports and other locations based upon their religion and national origin. We must make it illegal.” Pelosi!

Below are the Marine Rules for Gunfighting. Or so I am told they are.
Dubya—quit flogging yer spont and listen up!
You, too Karl - you magnificent mediocre fat bastard.
1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns.
2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.
4. If your shooting stance is good, you’re probably not moving fast enough nor using cover correctly.
5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)
6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun.
7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.
9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on “pucker factor” than the inherent accuracy of the gun.
10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
12. Have a plan.
13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won’t work.
14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
16. Don’t drop your guard.
17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.
18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.
19. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
21. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
22. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
23. Your number one option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
24. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a “4."

Heads up, Angelinos
El Mayor Villareigosa is gonna “Smart Growth” yer neighborhood
Anticipating Los Angeles Basin population growth from 16.7 to 23 million by 2030, Los Angeles Democratic Mayor Antonio Villareigosa has been quietly working with city and Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) experts on a 2007 plan to rezone hundreds of parcels within a half-mile of bus stops and train stations in several transit corridors for high-density, mixed-use ‘’urban villages,’’ focusing first on the $640 million Expo Line rail project being launched this month.
‘’The goal is to produce urban villages with high-quality development that would encourage pedestrian and transit-oriented design,’’ said the mayor’s transportation deputy Jaime De La Vega, confident it would boost area transit, currently used on a regular basis by just 5 percent of Los Angeles County residents. ...
“This sounds like a really ambitious agenda,” observed National Center for Metropolitan Transportation Research Director Genevieve Giuliano. “In some of these areas, there are going to be issues with existing neighbors that are not going to want high-rise development. This will really be challenging."
I’m guessing they won’t be trying to turn Malibu into an “urban village,” tho…

FYI
hiding under the bed
I was just chatting with a friend who’s re-taking her RN boards after taking time off to do the whole Mom thing. She told me that things have changed in the last 20 years—the “right” answer is no longer the choice which provides the best patient care, but the choice which protects the hospital from suit.
Oh, and there will be cameras in every patient care area in every hospital within 5 years.
...well, I didn’t need to get sick anyway.
[Thank you, Nancy! slip-’n’-fall lawyers!]

A little he'p?
I can’t think of anything sufficiently obscene to tell this little camel poop.
“We have said from the beginning that we will talk with the American government, but under conditions,” Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad [the MiniMahdi] told a news conference.
“The conditions concern the attitude of the American government. If they correct their behavior, we will talk to them like others,"
Nor anything sufficiently severe to say to Dubya if he lets this little goat-doo get away with it.
oh, yeah—Thank You, Nancy!

Boost Mobile, a so-called mobile virtual-network operator owned by Sprint Nextel, will offer a two-hour demonstration of buddy-tracking technology created by a start-up called Loopt. ...Using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, the application automatically updates the location of a user’s “buddies” and displays the information directly on a map on the phone. Alerts can also be sent to notify subscribers when a friend is near. ...
Boost Mobile, a so-called mobile virtual-network operator owned by Sprint Nextel, will offer a two-hour demonstration of buddy-tracking technology created by a start-up called Loopt. ...If analyst predictions are correct, more than half of the cell phone users in the United States will be using location-based services by 2010.
...it will cost $2.99 a month, including a mobile-blogging tool
Now here’s the quintessential example of lethal naivete:
"We have a lot of concerns about making sure a tracking service is done right,” [Verizon spokesman Jeffrey] Nelson said. “The last thing we want to do is let a genie out of a bottle and find that the service is misused."
