THE HURRICANE THAT BLEW DONKEYS

ONE THING ABOUT EARTHQUAKES LIKE THE TEMBLOR THAT RATTLED D.C. AT THE BEGINNING OF LAST WEEK IS THAT THEY CANNOT BE HYPED FOR DAYS IN ADVANCE. A HURRICANE IS ANOTHER MATTER. And the newsies and the "authorities" were in full dudgeon about what a major disaster was about to befall us.

TO BE FAIR, memories of Isabel - and the lady was a stone bitch - are still pretty fresh around here; and among other things Old Town Alexandria was flooded clean up to Fairfax Street. But Isabel was a brush with the eye of a tropical storm, a storm that was still pretty damned organized when it got here. I was driving when the onset of the storm proper introduced itself with the falling of a tree I had just driven past. (I then charted the most tree-free route I could plot and drove home and battened down for the night).

But what's-her-name -- oh, yeah Irene -- was starting to fall apart about the time she got to Ocean City. The doppler maps showed the eye to be all raggedy, and although the sky turned black as pitch an hour ahead of schedule, the sum of the effect on Northern Virginia was less than a squall line that came through here earlier this spring. This, however did not prevent the news folks from treating this minor inconvenience as a Very Big Thing. The Washington Post published a front page photo of PEPCO crews sawing up a tree that took out a power line to accompany a story that was written to imply that scenes like that were all over the landscape. In fact, such scenes were not much more common than what occurs in the aftermath of any old middlin' line of summer squalls around here.

Oh, yeah. But you couldn't swim in the ocean for a few days due to heavy surf and rip currents.

Heavens to Betsy. How tragic. (We are so starved for drama....)

EARTHQUAKE!! (BIG F@#$KING DEAL)

For the last hour the radio stations here in the Washington D.C. area have been abuzz about the bad ol' tremor we just experienced. Buildings evacuated, stuff falling off store shelves, etc.. As a result the entire Federal government has shut down, and the evening rush seems to have had an early start.

I personally didn't feel a thing, and oddly enough the alleged quake happened while I was driving on - get this - a street called Quaker Lane. But. all the news people said it was pretty shaky; and the shopkeeper at the little convenience store I stopped at told me that all the stuff fell off his shelves.

I was a bit concerned about the computer I am typing this on, as it is on a desk below a set of shelves full of heavy stuff. So I returned home envisioning a smashed computer, guns and ammo and books all over the place and a mess to clean up. Here's what I found:

About four rounds of 9mm ammunition had been shaken off the top shelf onto the floor, but the loose rounds of .380 were right where they had been put, only they had been upright and had been knocked down (but they remained on the shelf). An empty beer can stood upright where it had been sitting since last night, and a speed-loader of .38 special likewise remained unmoved. The holstered Walther PPK/s I keep on the top shelf had not been moved. That's it.

There are some concerns that the Washington Monument is atilt slightly. This is perhaps the only dire concern because that structure consists of basically a stack of limestone blocks supported by nothing more than their own weight. A good enough shake might knock it over, so there you need to stay tuned.

Other than that it is the typical-for-around-these-parts big kerfluffle over not really one whole hell of a lot. I've come home and will be staying here until the idiots stop running around like chickens with their heads chopped off. Everybody in the National Capital Region tend to make a mountain out of a molehill. There was a middlin' earthquake. It's over.

Except for the yammering and panicking. Big damn deal. Yawn.

AMERICAN HIKERS SENTENCED TO PRISON IN IRAN

,WE HERE AT THE ALEXANDRIA DAILY POOP HAVE LONG FEARED THE WORST FOR THE AMERICANS IMPRISONED IN IRAN FOR ALLEGEDLY CROSSING THE BORDER INTO THAT BENIGHTED NATION FROM WHAT THEY BELIEVED TO BE IRAQI KURDISTAN. LAST MONTH, HOPE WAS HELD OUT THAT THEY WOULD BE FREED AS AN ACT OF MERCY DURING THE ISLAMIC "HOLY MONTH" OF RAMADAN. HO, ho ho.

The folks in charge of Iran right now are religious nutballs who are quite as virulent - if not more so than - the "God hates Fags" assholes of our own Westboro Baptist "Church". But unlike the WBC, the Iranian mullahs are in complete control of that country. WBC leader Fred Phelps would approve of every aspect of what they do over there except for the fact that they don't accept Jesus as Lord and Savior (but then, Fred doesn't accept Him as such, either. To the Phelps clan, Jesus is a hater out to destroy everything they hate, and everything they hate has its origins in homosexuality; which the Iranian clergy also hates [although we suspect that in the case of the mullahs, it is because they don't want competition for the favors of pubescent boys. But we digress...])

From what we here at the ADP know, these hikers were a bunch of open-borders, peace-and-love, rainbow-and-unicorn shitheads who thought they could go hiking in the disputed border region between Iraqi Kurdistan and Iran and not run into any trouble as long as they obeyed their GPS devices. Idiots.

As far as GPS devices go, there are people who have taken right turns into ravines because their GPS device told them to turn right. These idiots were in a border region subject to Kurdish patrols and Iranian interlopers. To hell with the GPS, if I were stupid enough to go out for a lark in one of the most dangerous regions on the planet, I'd damn well stay well south of Kirkuk.

I bet every last one of these lame-brains voted for "president" Obama. I hope they know that he isn't in any position to save them, and he wouldn't try to if he could. The mullahs know Obama is weak and ineffectual. Ronald Reagan and even either of the Bushes would have them out of there tout le suite. Just having a couple of F-14s breaking the sound barrier 500 feet over Tehran would probably do the trick; but our one-ball "president" doesn't have the gumption for it.

However much I may deride these hikers for their callowness and cluelessness; and however much I may disdain their toddler-like worldview; they are AMERICAN CITIZENS. And that and only that is why they are now facing years in an Iranian hell-hole prison. ( IF these fools survive their incarceration, I want them put on an American prison review board. I wonder what they would say to an inmate who complained to them that the jail didn't put enough mayo on his turkey sandwich after they had spent a few years sipping chicken-butt tea with stale rice.)

The plight of these hikers illustrates vividly why we here in the USA tolerate Israel having nuclear weapons and will do just about anything to deny them to Iran. These mullahs are insane. Although their every official act, be it the slaughter of a sheep or the beheading of a criminal, begins with the intonement: "In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate"; they themselves are completely lacking in either.

Don't just take our word for it, though. Ask those poor idiots, IF they live through their imprisonment and return home. Ask them if what they experienced was "mercy" and "compassion" from the sociopathic vermin who today sentenced them to hell on earth.

(We bet these fools find a way to say yes and blame their suffering on George Bush.)

SLUTWALK SILLINESS

RECENTLY WE LEARNED THAT THE NATION'S CAPITAL WOULD BE THE NEXT SCHEDULED SITE OF A NATIONAL WAVE OF DEMONSTRATIONS KNOWN AS A "SLUTWALK".

The "Slutwalk" movement purports to illustrate that, no matter how a female may choose to dress, she is not by her clothing "asking" to be raped. Really?

And just how is it that one "asks" to be raped? You can't rape the willing, after all. No one asks to be raped, but that's not the point of the "Slutwalkers".

A "Slutwalk" consists of a number of young females dressing as scantily as local laws allow and parading down the street in public, with slogans such as "Just say no to rape!" (see above) and "You do NOT have my permission to rape me!" (ditto). What utter twaddle. (some of it quite fetching twaddle).

Now what these young ladies are attempting to do is best illustrated by the lyrics of the song "Dancing Queen" (by the Swedish pop group ABBA.) :

"Try to tease him and turn him on
'Leave him burning and then you're........gone"

You see, there is a cadre of "shamers" salted in the sidelines, moving with the procession and scolding and upbraiding any male who voices appreciation or approval of the feminine pulchritude being paraded down the street. These people are not trying to stop rape. They are trying to shame males out of liking females.

Furthermore, they think that if they leave the house at zero-dark-thirty and go to the 7-11; dressed in a thong, thigh-high leather boots and pasties over their nipples; that they have every right to expect that no loutish male will so much as whistle at them.

(on the other hand, if a handsome young MALE walks through certain neighborhoods - and these folks would like it to be ANY neighborhood - wearing a pair of cutoffs, why then if some gay dude yells "Nice ass!" at him, HE's not supposed to be offended; and if he is, then he's just a bigoted homophobe.)

I really shouldn't have to say this, but apparently I do: I am very much against rape. If Nancy Pelosi tied me to a bed and started giving me a blow job, I'd commit suicide by inhaling my own vomit. And I'm not kidding either.

I've known a couple of female rape victims. One of them developed hypochondrial pan-allergies, became a lesbian, and walked around braless in a loose-knit sweater with her nipples peeking through. She liked to tempt a man and get him to buy her a drink or dinner, then embarass the hell out of him by claiming to be allergic to something in the food and then telling him that she liked girls anyway. She was "empowering" herself by "punishing" any male she could. Fortunately for me, I was able to tell she was a pain in the ass before I made the mistake of getting involved. But I feel sorry for her, She is one screwed up human being.

The other rape victim I know was all of 17 when I met her at a coffee house poetry slam sometime around 1993. ( I know a poetry slam is kind of an odd place for a conservative Nationalist to be, but I've written some good ones and some of those were presented there.)

This young lady seemed to be entirely normal until she told me that in response to her ordeal she now wears seven pairs of underpants, so that if it happens again, she'll have time to figure out how to kill her attacker while he's trying to get all seven pairs off.

But I also have met a guy who was brutally raped by his uncle. I was in the military then, and it came out while he was drinking with me and another guy. He considered us both bosom pals, and confided in us about the attack. And he told us that he wanted to find "one of those queers" and take him into a barn and put his testicles into a vise, remove the handle, lay a butcher knife beside the vise, and then set the barn on fire; thus giving the hapless "queer" the option of self-castration or death by fire. And he was willing to do this to any homosexual he could find.

Now in the three cases presented here, the "progressive" takes on them are: "Poor kid" "Poor kid" and "dangerous homophobe and he needs major help". In fact all three are dealing in different dysfunctional ways with the trauma of being physically violated and psychologically debased. For my part I tried to do what I could just by listening and understanding. Some people can deal with such things without much help. Most, though, need quite a bit of it and at a different level than I was able to provide.

Okay. So I know rape is a serious thing. Just thought I'd make that clear, because there are lots of people who will think that by making fun of the idiots in the "Slutwalk" I am implying that rape isn't so bad. I'm not; and it is.

BUT. As to the premise of the "Slutwalkers": Let's say I'm walking down the street with a roll of hundred-dollar bills in my hands, and I'm counting the amount of money I have out loud. Do I have a reasonable expectation that no one will yell "Hey, Money!"?
NO.

Is the fact that I am handling a large amount of cash in public justification for a robbery?
NO.

Does the fact that I am handling a large amount of cash in public mean I want someone to put a gun to my head and take it?
NO.

BUT.

Does the fact that I am handling a large amount of cash in public advertise very obtusely that I have something lots of people want?
YES.

Is it likely that someone very well might find me a vulnerable and desirable target for robbery if I handle such a large amount of cash in public?
YES.

Would the police investigating my robbery be justified in wondering if I was nuts to be counting such a large amount of cash out loud and displaying it public?
YES, GODDAMN IT. YES THEY WOULD. AND YOU KNOW THEY WOULD.

The principle is the same: Flash your booty around in public, and somebody's gonna try and take it.

Now, if I were dressed in a nice suit, with a nice watch and all; that might show I had money, too. But both my hands would be free, and there just might be something else other than money under that sport jacket. Like a .357 magnum revolver stuffed with some real nasty hollowpoints.

Similarly, a fetching young maiden can very adequately show her attractiveness without stripping herself bare and making herself vulnerable. I'm not advocating adopting the burqa; just at least have enough clothes on to conceal a firearm.

And if you don't want to carry a firearm, then visit the Kimber website, where you will find information on how to get what is in my opinion the world's most effective pepper-spray device. It shoots a 90 MPH stream of ultra-hot pepper-spray and hits very hard up to 13 feet away. Not even goggles protect against it.

But when you idiots parade down the street in thongs and garters and fishnet stockings accessorized with "fuck-me" high heeled shoes and declare that you don't want men ogling you, you trivialize a brutal crime. No decent man would even entertain thoughts of rape. But we do enjoy the view.

So thanks, I guess.

Nice tits.

"TEA PARTY DOWNGRADE?" BALONEY.

IT WAS REVEALED A FEW WEEKS AGO THAT THE DEMON-RATZ WHO ARE TRYING TO WIN THE NEXT ELECTION (DESTROYING AMERICA IS STILL JOB ONE, BUT TO DO IT THEY NEED ANOTHER TWO YEARS AT LEAST) CONFERENCE AND ARE ASSIGNED A "BUZZ PHRASE" TO INCLUDE SOMEWHERE IN ALL THEIR RECITATIONS OF THE OTHER TALKING POINTS THEY USE.

The word Senator Chuck Schumer said - unaware that Conservatives could hear him - had been assigned was "extremist". Now there is a new mantra.

"TEA PARTY DOWNGRADE".

"TEA Party downgrade" my ass. The phrase is meant to shift blame for the recent downgrade of the Standard and Poor credit rating for the nation from AAA to AA+. Now, how this is a product of efforts by the TEA party freshmen is a bit hard to understand, since the debt limit WAS raised in the end, which all the Ratz insisted was necessary to maintain the AAA rating and "avoid default" (which as we have stated would not have happened anyway). The downgrade was made because the deal that was struck MADE NO MENTION OF REDUCING THE DEBT, only the "deficit" between income and outgo. The TEA party frosh wanted to hold out for DEBT REDUCTION and a rigid commitment to cutting spending from PRESENT levels instead of just stating vague intentions not to spend as much more next year than we spent this year and calling that a "cut" in spending. The newbies would have held out, but they were parliamentarily out-maneuvered in the end into accepting the half-assed Devil's bargain that led to this downgrade.

Personally I am not worried. For one thing, even though the rating was downgraded, there is a stunning sell off in the stocck markets globally as investors race to put their money in safe harbors such as gold and......

TREASURY BILLS!!!

That's right, folks. Even though them there T-Bills are now only AA+; the smart money STILL considers them a safe investment. WHY??

Because the United States economy is STILL the strongest in the world. Europe and Asia are tanking far faster and far worse than are we. This has translated into a reduced demand for oil, and the price of oil is plummeting. This in turn is translating into lower energy costs. The less energy (read gasoline) costs, the more Americans are willing to travel and spend money. This boosts the economy. We will as usual pull out of this nose-dive faster than anyone else.

It's odd the folks I meet driving a cab. One young fella told me this morning as we were discussing this that the money we pay for oil represents "a huge transfer of wealth" from the USA to foreign countries.

Baloney, I told him. American purchases of foreign energy are the purchase of raw material for the creation of wealth. If I buy a dollar's worth of cotton from you and use it to make a twenty dollar shirt, have I "transferred" my wealth to you? Hell no. I've just fed you for a day so I can feed myself for a week. Our wealth isn't being bled out of us by OPEC (but they do try). However, if these fuddled folk bemoan the fact that US dollars pay for foreign oil, they should be aware that there's plenty of oil right here in the USA and her territories, but the idiots in charge of things won't let us go and get it.

You lefties out there better face the facts. Anyone who bets against the US economy will in the end walk home wearing a barrel. Your point of view needs a major change of scenery.

The only sense in which the drop in our credit score is a "TEA party downgrade" is that despite the best efforts of that faction, the debt limit was passed with a bunch of weak, watered down commitments to - not PAY DOWN the debt, but to NOT INCREASE IT as much as had been planned.

If the TEA party freshmen did anything less than 100 percent of what they could to hold out and demand that real cuts from present spending levels be made, then yeah; I guess you could say it's a "TEA party downgrade".

But it's not. It's a Democrat downgrade. It's an Obama downgrade. Obama keeps bitching about the things he "inherited" from George Bush.

One of those things was an AAA credit rating.

The Oath of the Presidency was flubbed by Obama. Here's a rather simpler statement:

"I RESIGN"

DO IT. SAY IT, YOU JUG EARED JACKASS! DO IT!! NOW!!!

WELL, I GUESS IT IS THE BEST WE COULD EXPECT

I AM OF COURSE TALKING ABOUT THE HALF-ASSED DEBT LIMIT INCREASE JUST PASSED. The "old school" in the House Republican Caucus pretty much caved, but at least the bill contains a provision foor reducing "the deficit" (NOT the goddamn debt) and does not have any tax increases in it. Nevertheless, Obama is now jawboning tax increases, as he is able to do since these were not prohibited.

KUDOS TO THE TEA-PARTY FRESHMEN OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE! One bright spot is the way they dominated this process. They were incorruptible, refusing bribes such as promises of future campaign money and support and votes for their future pet projects.

But in the end, there were not enough of them to overcome the mustache Petes who keep one eye on their own re-election. Guys, you have nothing to be ashamed of. You fought hard and well and if not for your constant steadfast and stalwart opposition; without your deftly applied use of every parliamentary maneuver available, the legislation your bodies just passed would have been much MUCH worse.

Even given that we did not get everything, even given that the dragon was not slain (and lives to fight again); still the Leftist statists are howling like hit dogs. It was most revealing that a female reporter told a Democrat representative that "You gave them everything and we didn't get anything". ("WE"?? Aren't these reporters supposed to be neutral? That's what they all said when they were doing things like calling KSM a "suspected" terrorist). Yep, And yet the big media still insist they are not in the tank for the Ubamanistas.

One telling factor is that the stock market, which was supposed to tank if there were no deal today and soar in jubilation if there was a deal; dropped like a stone with the announcement. This deal left the barn door open for the soaking of successful companies by the "elimination of taxpayer subsidies". This does sound good, until you learn the Democrat definition of a "subsidy".

In Leftie-Speak, any money earned by anyone is a "subsidy" IF they are allowed to keep it. In the perfect world of the Left, ALL money earned would be given directly to the government, who would decide what everyone needs and re-distribute it accordingly.

(Look, motherfuckers. I don't need a boat. But if I can afford one, I'm buying one, because I want one; and if you don't like it you can all eat some shit.)

Cut "tax subsidies" to "Big Oil"? "YAY!" you say. "I pay too much for gas! It's about time those rich pigs got soaked! Now that those evil oil companies are getting soaked, I won't have to spend half my paycheck just to get to work! Hooray!" If that is your attitude, then you are a fucking MORON.

If the oil companies get "soaked", why then they will just pass the damage to the people who buy their stuff. THAT MEANS YOU, YOU IDIOT. "Big Oil" makes a net profit of around TWO PENNIES on every gallon of gasoline sold. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GETS CLOSE TO FIFTY CENTS. SO WHO THE FUCK IS PROFITING MOST WHEN YOU FILL YOUR FUCKING TANK, IDIOT??

Well, enough folks wised up last year to give us you fantastic TEA party freshmen. You fought hard, and well. But the fight is not over. We (and I mean all of us) must prepare and fight in whatever way we can to get even more of you in the legislature and (dare I hope?) in the White House. If we do, it will be the biggest thing since El Cid drove the Moors out of Spain.

Tea-Party frosh, your performance is stellar. Our revolution is succeeding, and the Statist Left is scared shitless of you. Sheathe not your swords, but continue to battle until it is won. All in all, you have done much to ensure victory.

But victory has yet to be won. Carry on!
