WHAT IN HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU KIDS?

From time to time, I check what words people are using to search for this e-rag. Many of these phrases contain the word "poop", so some time ago I started trying to see if this here blog was "Creme de la Poop", ie; the first thing that pops up when you google "poop".  So far it's so far down I can't even locate it in the limited time I have (seeing as how I have to work); but I have as usual uncovered some truly disturbing items.

There is a person, a female I hope, who has posted something called "How I stopped worrying and learned to love pooping while giving birth".

How informative.

However I also came across a video titled "Boogie 'Til You Poop".  After updating my security program, I downloaded the video.

The vid depicted a young man in his mid-20s on a rock climbing outing with some friends. About 80 feet up the face of some cliff, he gets his knee stuck in a fissure and his friend has to rappell down to help free him.  While his pal is below him trying to work his leg loose....

You guessed it, folks. 

Back in my day, we didn't have people carrying cameras everywhere and filming every damned bone-headed thing we did, LET ALONE TELEVISING IT FOR THE WORLD TO SEE SOME OF THE MOST EMBARRASSING STUFF THAT EVER HAPPENED TO US!! Yeah, it's a quality of friendship to be able to laugh about dangling beneath a close friend who is helplessly trapped and realizing he has crapped his pants. But it is NOT the story of Damon and Pythias by a long shot. And between those who were there it may well be a funny story to share between themselves when, years later, they are gathered together remeniscing.

Can you imagine this kid becoming the Ambassador to China about 25 years from now, and when he meets the leader of Red China, he doesn't know it but the commie is thinking: "ah, so, he poop on friend. Must be careful."

Well, I always wanted to know what you kids who vote for Obama do for fun. Now I know.  Gah.

REASON NUMBER 134 WHY I CALL THE POTOMAC RIVER "THE MOAT"

I live in Virginia, across the Potomac river from Washington, D.C.; and I love the Potomac because it forms a natural barrier. I call it "The Moat".

Washington, D.C. is run by some of the screwiest people in this country. (I am talking about the local city government). It used to be run by three commissioners appointed by Congress, but in 1974 it was decided to allow the District (as Washington is called when referring to affairs of the City government) some limited "home rule" with Congressional oversight. Bad idea, because the Constitution says that the District is prohibited from statehood or being part of any state. This creates a political environment that is a "dead end". Once you're mayor, that's it. As a result the D.C. city government resembles a Gilbert and Sullivan parody of "Porgy and Bess".

Loons populate the city government, people with whacky ideas like the traffic chief who deliberately timed the lights to snarl traffic because he believed that driving and automobile in the city was immoral due to the pollution cars cause (so he guaranteed max pollution by ensuring traffic jams). And let's not even mention a certain past mayor, now a city councilman, and his affinity for cocaine. And for everything that has made national news, that ain't the tenth of it.

Now today I'm reading the Washington Times and I come across an article about some natural resources officials doing a survey of "invasive species" such as the northern snakehead fish. Here is what those boneheads do:

They zap the river with electricity and scoop up stunned northern snakeheads. Then they tag them with a notice to whoever catches the fish advising them to destroy it.

Then they release the fish back into the river.

Hey, morons.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST DO THE DAMN JOB WHILE YOU HAVE THE FREAKING FISH IN THE GODDAMN BOAT?

Yes, they really do that. And that's pretty much how every other problem in the city is handled.

It's so comforting to know that we in this Blessed Commonwealth can station Virginia State Police at the bridges and shut down the Metro tunnels. Thank God for the blessed Potomac River Moat.

ARTISANALE BOLOGNIAE

What the fresh freaking hell is with this trend to call EVERYTHING "artisanal"?

Here we are in the middle of what is, depending on which politician you talk to, a "recession" or a "weak recovery" but which if you check your wallet you can only call a tough time. People have less money but things keep getting more expensive, and it makes no sense that demand drops but price goes up. I guess there has to be some effort to justify this, or something. Ergo, this "artisanal" everything bullcrap.

Some things deserve the appellation. "Artisanal" mainly means "made by hand in small quantities by skilled craftsmen"(called artisans) with an eye toward extreme quality. There is artisinal furniture made from the finest woods and fabrics, lovingly made by hand (and costing a fortune). There is artisanal beef, made from cattle raised and tended as if they were gold-egg laying geese.

A shop across the street from my house sells "artisanal cheeses", and I do enjoy some of them. Stirring and pressing curds with elbow grease does seem to produce a product a cut or two above Velveeta.

One thing - to me - that disqualifies something as "artisanal" is having it shipped across the country by a fleet of 18-wheel semi rigs with the name of the product and "artisanal" on the side.  But here we are.

Of all things, Domino's Pizza and Dunkin' Donuts have recently seen fit to call parts of their product lines "artisanal", and I don't know which is the more risible.

Domino's has come out with a line of "artisanal" pizzas. They are not made by artisans, they are made by kids with zits who have one eye on the clock. So what, according to the ads, makes these pizzas "artisanal"?

Well, it's the fact that the toppings are "carefully selected" and cannot be changed. You can't have sausage on your "ham and tuscan roast vegetable" "artisan" pizza. Some guy in some office in some skyscraper halfway across the country decides what you'll get on your pizza, and that makes it artisan? Holy...

To me the most laughable incarnation is Dunkin' Donuts selling artisan bagels. ARTISAN FUCKING BAGELS?

The big joke is that a true bagel made in a true bagel shop is something of an artisan affair. The dough needs to be kneaded, shaped, and then boiled and then baked. hundreds can be made in one batch, but it's still a lot of work.  Still, a bagel is a humble and pedestrian thing - albeit mighty good especially with some cream cheese and smoked salmon - and in times past, a bagel maker would have laughed to scorn anyone who called him an artisan.

These "artisan" bagels are made in some factory and shipped on a truck to your local Fuckin' Gonuts, where they are heated up. As the ads explain, "artisan" means "pretty good bagel". Right.

Well, all this gives me a great idea. What I think I shall do is market fertilizer to the small farmers and home gardeners who produce "heirloom" (another word that is getting to be tiresomely overused) vegetables .

I'll call it "artisanal bullshit"  (and talk about trendy, bullshit is organic even!) I'll make millions.  Look out, world.

DEMOCRAT SHILLS: TRAITORS IN PATRIOT'S CLOTHING!

AS the general election looms closer and campaigns consolidate, "president" Obama and his minions see their power about to vanish. An old tactic has been dusted off and re-tooled for the purpose of deflating the threat of defeat in November.

Most of us have met people who claim to be Conservatives but then give a mournful prediction for November, mouthing such twaddle as: "the fix is in, and there's nothing we can do about it." or: "Obama's just too popular. What about all those young folks who voted for him? They'll be voting this time too. It's hopeless".

There may be a very few good, conservative folks who are yet basically simpletons who believe this, and these are those who mostly listen to the shills who mouth this twaddle in an effort to stem the coming tide of anti-Obama votes.  There are far too many people mouthing this garbage for ALL of them to be people who want Obama OUT but are genuinely discouraged. And they have been discouraged mainly by shills who tell them these things and know that they will spread the phony gloom.

Another thing we keep hearing, also from folks who pretend to be conservative but are - words fail us - NOT is: "(fill in name of Republican front runner) is no conservative. He's soft on (fill in issue) and I won't vote for him".  Again, there are some who are rabidly hyped on (fill in issue) and are sincere; but again most of the folks who say this stuff are Obama's butt-boys.  One way to tell for sure is if they follow up with "I won't vote for (fill in name of Republican front runner) even if it means four more years of Obama; OR EVEN MORE TELLING: "He's just the same as Obama, why bother voting?"

THE BEST WAY to know whether you are dealing with a truly discouraged conservative (who can be given hope and encouraged) or a Ron Paul supporter (who is best dealt with by changing the subject away from politics, these Ron Paulistas are freaking nuts); OR if you are dealing with an Obama shill, is to note their demeanor.

The Ubamanista shills will have either a hot, in-your-face hostility to them, or a certain smugness about them. That grim, half-smile is a dead giveaway.

But sincere, discouraged conservative or Ubamanista either one, DO NOT LISTEN TO THESE TRAITORS! What would have happened in 1942 to anybody who walked into a bar and started telling people the Japanese were going to win and offering lessons in Japanese is what ought to happen to these defeatists.  They need to be told to shut up and go to hell.

AL SHARPTON AND HIS ILK GET THEIR WISH - AND THEY MAY REGRET IT

BY NOW EVERYONE IS AWARE THAT GEORGE ZIMMERMAN HAS BEEN ARRESTED FOR SECOND DEGREE MURDER in the case of the shooting of Trayvon Martin. This is what the rabble were shouting for - when they weren't shouting for an outright lynching.

Actually second-degree murder is what the law ASSUMES the killing of one person by another to be. The burden of proof is on the prosecution to increase the charge and on the defense to decrease it or show that there is "reasonable doubt". Since the rabble are demanding an arrest, well, now they have it. And that's bad news for the exploiters who have been stirring this for their own ends. 

Hearsay, rumor and speculation are not allowed in a court of law. All evidence is rigorously examined and contested to the max.

Many for instance have the image of Zimmerman pointing a pistol at a few feet away and firing, "standing his ground" like some urban cowboy.  From Zimmerman's account the pistol was fired at a distance of mere inches as he fought for control of it as he lay on the ground WITH NO OPPORTUNITY TO FLEE SO HE WAS NOT "STANDING HIS GROUND; HE HAD NO CHOICE. The truth or untruth of this can easily be determined by the severity and pattern of the "powder burns" produced by the fireball of burning propellant discharged along with the projectile.

One way or another the truth and nothing but the truth will come out in this very public trial. And if George Zimmerman is found NOT GUILTY by a jury of his peers, then what do you suppose the rabble will do?

TURNS OUT ALL YOU MAC USERS AREN'T IMMUNE AFTER ALL

IN MY DISCUSSIONS WITH SUNDRY FOLKS ABOUT THE VIRUS PROBLEM I JUST BEAT, I ENCOUNTERED MANY AN APPLE "MAC" USER WHO LOOKED AT ME PITYINGLY AND TOLD ME THAT "MACS DON'T GET VIRUSES".

Well, well.  I have just learned of a major attack specifically launched at Apple products.  Sorry, guys; and I hope the Mac community has developed the kind of network we PC users have evolved to deal with these pests (but you haven't).

Remember the ads a few years ago where some flannel-shirted hipster introduced himself with "I'm a Mac" and a grey flannel suited bespectacled fuddy-duddy introduced himself with "and I'm a PC"?

Remember how such benefits were touted as the magnetic power connection which guaranteed that tripping over the cord wouldn't pull the entire machine onto the floor and damage it? 

(Actually, we old fuddy-duddiies are smart enough to not get tangled up in electric cords. I guess kids will always need training wheels, though...)

And Macs had more of the features important to using them for recreational purposes. Which is great, but in addition to blogging and such I actually conduct serious business on my machine, so I prefer the IBM design.

And it was exactly the tendency for people who had serious business to conduct to use PCs which led to the concentration of hacking efforts on PCs.  You can't make a whole lot of money cheating broke-ass GenXers who live with their folks and use their Macs to tell each other who puked in whose car after listening to an evening of shlock poetry at some slam. 

But at some point the hackers were bound to get desperate and turn to hacking the Mac.  That point has been reached, and now the Mac is much more vulnerable than the PC, because most Mac users thought they would be immune forever. 

Remember the Maginot Line? (look it up on Wikipedia, you history challenged younguns) What y'all have there I call the MACinot Line. And the Germans just got around it. 

Fuddy duddy, eh?  Here's a quote from P.J. O'Rouke:

"Age, experience and guile trumps youth, good looks and a bad haircut"

Truer words......

EINE KLEIN GRATITUOUS LIBTARD-BASHING

THE SUBJECTS WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING HERE THE LAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN MIGHTY DEPRESSING, SO TODAY WE THOUGHT WE'D JUST GO FOR A DRIVE AND ADMIRE ALL THE BLOOMING FRUIT TREES. AND THIS GOT US THINKING THAT IT WOULD BE CATHARTIC TO POINT OUR VIRTUAL FLAMETHROWER AT A BLOOMIN' LIBTARD FRUIT.

DAVID BROCK is the homosexual who runs "Media Matters for America" He used to be a staunch conservative until he found out that gay guys who are conservative, even just fiscally conservative and not socially conservative, have on hell of a hard time getting laid and tend to get drinks thrown in their faces in gay bars.  Halfway through the first term of President George W. Bush he evidently got tired of having his tricks pull on their clothes and leave abruptly; and he wrote "Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative".  Brock went on to found "Media Matters for America", an organization dedicated to magnifying and aggravating any blemish on any Conservative entity they can find and/or manufacture.  The technique is what we here at the Alexandria Daily Poop call "telling the truth, but not the whole truth and sometimes anything but the truth".

DESPITE CHARGES THAT HIS SUPPOSEDLY "EDUCATIONAL" NON-PROFIT "MEDIA MATTERS" IS ACTUALLY A POLITICAL ACTIVIST CONCERN AND THUS UNLAWFULLY CLAIMING TAX-EXEMPT STATUS, Brock insists he and "Media Matters" are squeaky clean.

Yet, back in February of this year Brock paid his "domestic partner" (ho ho ho) OVER THREE QUARTERS OF ONE MILLION DOLLARS TO KEEP QUIET ABOUT CERTAIN MATTERS INVOLVING THE IRS!!

Hold the phone. We thought Brock was one o' them tax-loving liberals. You know, the ones who think guys with a lot of dough are morally deficient and need to have their wealth "re-distributed" and spread around among the "have-nots".  Yet he can dip into his pocket and pull out 850 grand for a HUSH MONEY PAYMENT??

Well, Davey, at least you're gettin' some now, right?? Don't talk with your mouth full, David.

EASTER 2012

TODAY those of us who are Christian celebrate and remember the key, defining event of the Christian faith: the Resurrection of Jesus of Nazerath, the Christ.

It is a bit annoying to hear at every turn this or that politician to cite as the "central tenet" of Christianity some bit iof scripture taken out of context which fits his or her agenda and purportedly justifies the government doing this or that; making some restriction on individual freedom, etcetera. 

However, the central tenet of Christianity is:

Jesus of Nazareth the Christ is Jehovah God. He was concieved in and born to a virgin by the Holy Spirit.

He lived an absolutely perfect life among us, and taught and acted as LORD God all the while.

His freinds said He was God, His family said He was God and His enemies said He was God.

He was captured by the Romans and falsely accused of advocating rebellion against Rome.  He was examined under the lash, and tried and sentenced to be crucified by Pontius Pilate.

He carried the sins of all who believe on him, and died on a Roman cross and was sealed in a tomb.

Three days later, he rose and took back the life he had laid down, and left the tomb as the first of the Resurrected.

There is no path to Heaven except through Jesus. NONE.

When the politicians shill for more money and more government, they leave all of this stuff out.  Today we Believers remember it, we thank Him for it, and we look hopefully for His promised return.

At which time everybody will get a quick refresher course on what the "central tenets" of Christianity are.

Happy Easter. If you don't know Jesus as your Lord God and Savior, ask a minister or basically any Christian will be happy to show you the first steps on the way. 

FIBONACCI GOES TO CANDORVILLE

IN MY LAST POST I ASSERTED THAT I HAD PROVEN THAT, CONTRARY TO THE PROOFS ASSERTED BY SOME MATHEMATICAL EGGHEAD THE FIBONACCI SERIES CONTAINED AN INFINITE NUMBER OF "PERFECT SQUARES" AND WENT SO FAR AS TO NOMINATE MYSELF FOR A NOBEL PRIZE.

Of course I have been assailed by mathematicians who heatedly assert that I am - what was the word they used? - Oh, yeah. "Wrong".  In what way??

After all, if you repeat the steps I did, running a column of Fibonacci numbers down to the 2000th number in the series; then using the "SQRT" function to extract the square roots, and running a column of the ratios between adjacent Fibonacci numbers, you get these results:

Every number after the 137th in the series has as a ratio of exactly 1.618033988749890 (thus verifying that all those numbers are of the Fibonacci sequence) and

From Fibonacci number #138 on down, the square root of the number is a whole number with only zeroes after the decimal out to the max decimal places available on Excel.

Plus, as a verifier; multiplying the cells containing the square roots by themselves yields a square that matches the original  Fibonacci number.

BUT!

If you then take the square root and write it as an independent whole number, and multiply that number by itself, you get a result that differs - in the case of series # 138 -  by 100,000,000,000,000.

Fibonacci Number 138 is 19,134,702,400,093,300,000,000,000,000.  A whopper. It's square root (as calculated by Microsoft Excel) is 138,328,241,513,052.000000000000000000000000000000. This number is (in my spreadsheet) contained in cell E-138.

The calculation "E138xE138" equals the aforementioned Fibonacci number EXACTLY. 

However, when Excel multiplies 138,328,241,513,052, entered into a separate cell as a whole number, by itself with no decimal points, the product is 19,134,702,400,093,200,000,000,000,000. A difference of one hundred billion.  Just why this is I don't know; I have been experimenting around with placing 9 in the decimal series, but past 26 decimal places a 9 just doesn't approach becoming part of the whole number to the left of the point. Nevertheless, there it is. Actual computation with a sophisticated computer program yielding two different results. 

I have wondered about this for about two years now. See, I have known there was something clunky about this "infinite perfect squares" idea for a while, and I performed the operations to uncover the discrepancy as soon as I saw the apparent result of the first set of calculations. That was two years ago at least. So I knew I was probably mistaken all along.

 I suppose I could probably figure this out if I took enough time, but that last post wasn't about math in the first place.   It was about the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case.

Just as so many people have gone about trumpeting their cock-sure opinions about that case, basing them on second-hand "evidence" (that in fact turns out to have been doctored by the so-called "objective, neutral" news media); So I trumpeted my "genius" discovery and presented evidence which would - to most folks - seem credible. However, a complete investigation using facts produced quite a different result. 

If I, in the face of all this, were to go about spouting off that I was right, the mathematicians were wrong, and there must be something wrong with Microsoft Excel, I would then be a double-dip moron, because I would be crowing about making a "discovery" with the use of a tool which I had just said was possibly faulty. 

So the previous post was a sort of spoof. But there is one factor not present in my faux hubris that is present in the heated discussions of this Florida shooting: Human emotion and the tendency toward ulterior motives. The characteristics of the Fibonacci sequence do not lend themselves easily to the stirring of passions.

And the tongue-in-cheek claim I made in that last post was backed by far more credible evidence than anything being cited by those who are making all the deranged comments about this case of what may or may not be justifiable homicide. But no matter. There is money and votes and political leverage to be gained by exploiting ignorance.

All I wanted was a lousy Nobel. 

THE FIBONACCI SERIES HAS INFINITE PERFECT SQUARES

I WILL BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT THAT MAYBE I OUGHT TO DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN DRIVE A CAB FOR A LIVING, ESPECIALLY SINCE I AM A FREAKING GENIUS. 

 The only problem is I am WAY over fifty. Who would hire me? Besides, I don't need some asshole boss telling me to tone down my politics or be fired.

Leave us face it, I have been attacked by some of the worst viruses on the net, and yet this very machine I am writing this on is the same one that had its internet capability wiped out, and Yours Truly found out a way to fix the damage and get back up. I did NOT get a new operating program and I did not perform a reinstall, I did my research and scotched the booger on my own.  I didn't pay a tech and I didn't buy one damn thing, except for the no-shit security program I am running now. This is being written using the exact same Windows Vista operating system I was running before the attack. I didn't spend a dime in the process except, as I said, for the security program. All my files are intact and so are all of my programs such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word.

One thing about hacking a cab is that sometimes you get a real humdinger of an idea. Usually I'm able to just knock off the job without saying boo to anyone and run home and do a bit of research. Recently this happened when I read somewhere that fhe Fibonacci series contained no perfect squares other than 1 and 144. 

It just so happens that I have been fascinated by the Fibonacci series for at least 30 years. About a year ago, I set up a spreadsheet to calculate the Fibonacci series up to one thousand numbers.  I also ran a column beside the series to calculate the ratio between one number in the series and the one immediately following, and found that - calculated to 25 decimal points; after the 137th number in the series the ratio came to an invariable 1.618033988749890000000000000. 

I set up a column to extract the square roots of these numbers, and from Fibonacci number 138 on down, out to 25 decimal points they were all whole numbers. So when I found out about this "proof" that had been discovered that there were no "perfect squares" among the numbers in the series save for 1 and 144, I hurried back home and took those square roots and ran another column multiplying them by their own values as simple integers with no decimal points, and another subtracting  the product from the original Fibonacci number.  The result was ZERO.  Every time.

To the contrary of what the mathematicians with their arcane symbols and calculations claim to have "proven"; unless Microsoft Excel has a major clinker in its innards, I, F. Allen Norman Jr., have just proven that the Fibonacci series contains INFINITE perfect squares from the 138th number in the series on down. 

I'll take that Nobel in gold bullion, thanks.

CANDORVILLE DROPS THE BALL ON TRAYVON

"CANDORVILLE" A SYNDICATED COMIC STRIP CONCERNING THE LIFE AND MISFORTUNES OF A STRUGGLING AFRICAN-AMERICAN "JOURNALIST" HAS IN THE LAST COUPLE DAYS JUMPED INTO THE TRAYVON MARTIN AFFAIR.

"Candorville" has as its main character one Lamont, who has a thug "buddy" named Clyde (who is always stealing Lamont's stuff) and an hispanic female platonic friend who is always saying "dios mio". (But the author of the strip isn't racist because he's African-American. Right.)

Several times over the life of the strip, Lamont has had dreams in which he shares a subway ride with recently deceased public figures. After the author has made his point, the deceased gets off at his or her "stop" and Lamont continues on back to the real world. This week it's Trayvon Martin's turn to ride the dream train with Lamont.

The writer of the strip has Lamont telling Trayvon that evryone is digging up dirt on him so that nobody will believe he was just an innocent young sweet-pea who was defending himself from a brutish white man. 

To be fair, comic strips are drawn at least four weeks before publication. But this raises a question. This strip was drawn a month ago, before anyone outside of Sanford Florida ever even HEARD of this Trayvon kid.  The notion of a poor little scared 12-year-old trying to fend off a murderous racist has been blown out of the water. How did Candorville's creator know this would become a national news story a month ago, when it wasn't?

And then, when the narrative espoused by the strip has been discredited, the author just lets it run?  When Garry Trudeau is faced with developments that make him look like an idiot, he pulls the strips and runs "Doonesbury Flashbacks" - AKA old strips - until he has some new material.

"Candorville" however seems to be dedicated to preserving the last vestiges of the old story that a poor little kid carrying a bag of candy was murdered by a deadly hater. Just another attempt at keeping the racial tension high over this case so as to distract us from the fact that we for example have a "president" who was caught telling the Russians that all they need to do is wait until he's fooled we the idiot people into re-electing him, and then he'd be free to give them the American store.

Unfortunately, it won't work this time. Just to be candid about it.  

NBC stands for "NO BELIEVABLE CONTENT""

Well, just when we thought the coverage and public discussion about the death of Trayvon Martin couldn't get any more blatantly skewed by the deliberate manipulation and misrepresentation of information by a biased and corrupt media, today a new low was exposed.

NBC yesterday played a tape of George Zimmerman's conversation with the 911 operator concerning his observation of Trayvon Martin walking though the complex. Zimmerman said he was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and "He looks like he's Black".

OH MY GOD!! WHAT A RACIST!!

Or not.  You see, NBC edited that tape.  Before Zimmerman said "he looks like he's Black"  THE DISPATCHER ASKED ZIMMERMAN TO TELL HER IF THE PERSON HE WAS WATCHING APPEARED TO BE WHITE, BLACK OR HISPANIC.

The African-American community took this as proof that Zimmerman was a racist and shot the "unarmed" Martin because he hated Blacks.  This in turn has further complicated the job of Florida law enforcement in getting at the bottom of what really happened. 

Here in Alexandria Virginia, Hizzoner Mayor Bill Euille got into the fray, declaring that Zimmerman needs to be arrested for murder.  HEY MAYOR EUILLE! YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT.  IN ORDER TO ARREST SOMEONE FOR MURDER, THERE HAS TO BE PROBABLE CAUSE THAT A MURDER WAS COMMITTED. ARE YOU A FLORIDA COP?  NO? THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP AND FIND SOME POTHOLES TO FIX.  STOP STIRRING THE POT. OR ARE YOU TRYING TO START A RACE RIOT IN ALEXANDRIA?

Now since everyone and his Uncle Fudd is blathering all this speculation, I'll just add  some of my own.

I put the word "unarmed" in quotes, because it is quite possible that Trayvon Martin was shot as he TRIED TO TAKE ZIMMERMAN'S FIREARM AWAY AND USE IT ON ZIMMERMAN.  Notice how I am not stating this as fact, but just my little theory.  I trust the Florida authorities to gather the evidence and conduct the investigation. They and only they are competent to determine whether this is a case of justifiable homicide, or an accidental shooting, or some degree of manslaughter or murder. 

Until that determination is made, everyone needs to just calm down and stop believing every thing they hear especially on NBC. If you want some FACTS, then long distance information can give you the number to the public affairs section of the Sanford, Florida police department.  Let's just wait to see what the Grand Jury says, how's that for a plan?

I'M BACK, FOLKS!

FINALLY! I thought that the Sirefef virus had done me in, but as it turns out all I needed to do was go to the library and search out a repair for the havoc. Now I'm back and my security systems and passwords are hideously strong. 


Now if you are anything like most folks you are sick and tired of hearing about a certain fatal shooting down in Sanford, Florida. Aside from the observation that it took the media over a month to scoot this to the forefront of the public attention. As for me, I don't know for sure WTF is going on with this shooting and all these idiots who have NO connection to the ongoing multiple investigations but keep mouthing off about it as if they were eyewitnesses have ditto no idea what the truth is. What they ARE trying to do is make some political hay out of it, and of course Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson hope to hustle some greenbacks out of it into the bargain.  


The DemonRatz are playing the race card to the hilt to advance several agendas in this one.  Here's the game: They catch a Republican saying "dammit" and respond by screaming, "How DARE you use such vile language, you no-good fucking son of a BITCH! You ought to have your mouth washed out with soap, you cocksucker, you motherfucker, you shit-fucking prick!!!" 


The good news is they've played this crap so blatantly that only the most blindly doctrinaire and the most slavish followers of that doctrine can help but see this garbage for what it is. 


Al Sharpton wants to see Zimmerman in handcuffs, on the basis of what he thinks the truth ought to be, regardless of what it is. 


I think Al Sharpton ought to be held down and have Skittles shoved up his fat ass until they come out of his loud idiot mouth. 


And that's all I have to say (for now) on the subject of the "Trayvon" shooting.  


It's 4 AM and I've been awake for almost 20 hours. I'll post more later.  It's nice to be back. 'Nite.
