Jonah just linked to this advertisement over at Planned Abortion Parenthood. Slogan? "I Had An Abortion."

Update: Looks like others have noticed as well. And the creator of worlds is all over it.

Michael Moore has been asked to lend his name to a new perfume line. Apparently, the "stench of decaying shit" was already in use.

It's because of crap like this. Look, I don't flog public schools often. Two of the best teachers I've ever had taught in the public school system. Of course, they were let go during a budget crunch because they didn't have tenure, but that's a different matter. However, I'm sickened by the mind-numbing idiocy that's oeverwhelmed public schools. It wasn't that long ago when articles like this were surprising because they were so rare. Now it's the norm. Bleah.

Spoons linked to this article, penned by President Reagan's daughter Patti Davis. Patti, like her brother Ron, is an avowed liberal so I usually ignore whatever pablum dribbles from her mouth. However, the following statement is so bizzare that I cannot help but reprint it here:

Many things have been said about the movie, and of course about its director, Michael Moore. But I donÂ’t think IÂ’ve heard anyone comment on MooreÂ’s love for America. It seemed evident to me that the film was born from that love.

Patti, Patti, Patti. You need to find a new dealer because whatever pharmaceuticals you're ingesting have melted your brain.

COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.
ABBOTT: What about Windows?
COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?
COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look in the windows?
ABBOTT: Wallpaper.
COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.
ABBOTT: Software for Windows?
COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What have you got?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?

ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!
ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.
COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, lets just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?
ABBOTT: Word.
COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: Word in Office.
COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?
ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue "W"
COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you don't start with some straight answers. OK, forget that. Can I watch movies on the Internet?
ABBOTT: Yes, you want Real One.
COSTELLO: Maybe a real one, maybe a cartoon. What I watch is none of your business Just tell me what I need!

COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
OSTELLO: But there's three words in "office for windows"!
ABBOTT: No, just one. But it's the most popular Word in the world.
COSTELLO: It is?
ABBOTT: Yes, but to be fair, there aren't many other Words left. It
Pretty much wiped out all the other Words out there.
COSTELLO: And that word is real one?
ABBOTT: Real One has nothing to do with Word. Real One isn't even part of Office.
COSTELLO: STOP! Don't start that again. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?
ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.
COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?
ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.
COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?
ABBOTT: One copy.
COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?
ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy money.
COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?
ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

A FEW DAYS LATER . .

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?

ABBOTT: Click on "START"

I was reading this article that shreds Berger's credibility even more(which I hadn't thought possible) and then nearly choked on the last paragraph, which is a quote from former White House press secretary Joe Lockhart:

"This is a terrible experience for him, and he's embarrassed by his mistakes," Lockhart said, "but I think he also feels a sense of injustice that after building a reputation as a tireless defender of his country that many Republicans would try to assassinate his character to pursue their own ends."

BUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! A Democrat gets caught red-pantsed and it's dirty Republican plot? I know! A secret Bush operative hid in Berger's clothing and grabbed the documents. Stop it, you're killing me!

I visit Hugh Hewitt's blog daily. He's both informative and entertaining. The title for his latest Weekly Standard article made me laugh, though:

The Gap
Sandy Berger's pilfering of papers from the archive should be big trouble for the Democrats. Why is the press AWOL?

Helloooo?! Anyone?! Bueller?

Let's be honest: I didn't think that the press could match the level of disigenuousness that they've displayed ignoring the Wilson story. Amazingly, I was dead wrong. Something that hurts the Democrats? Stick yourfingers in you ears and shout "LA LA LA LA LA" as loudly as you can. Information that could potentiall damage the Kerry campaign? Mention Abu Ghraib, regardless of the subject matter. Example:

"Today marks the opening of the Virginia State Fair, which is full of wonders that the prisoners at Abu Ghraib won't have the chance to enjoy."

But others are doing their part for the Alliance. Check out Harvey's latest work. Excerpt:

If you're like me, you probably get annoyed when you see stupid bumper stickers on a car like "Bush lied, people died" and "No blood for oil". Don't you wish you could put another sticker on there to make that car a little more fair and balanced? For example:
...
There are no WMD
There are no active WMD
There are no stockpiles of active WMD
There are no large stockpiles of active WMD

My mother has 4 cats. Two she got from animal shelters and two she adopted from strays. Last year, another stray started showing up in her yard. She fed it and gave it water; she also added a second "cat house" on her deck to give it a nice place to sleep(one of her cats already lives outdoors full-time). This morning, she was finally able to get the new stray-Blackie- and take it to the vet for a checkup. It turns out that Blackie is infected with the feline leukemia virus. This means, of course, that my mother can't bring the cat into the house like she wanted because it would be dangerous to the uninfected cats. However, she can't release the cat back into the neighborhood because it would

1) possibly infect other cats and
2) means that Blackie would suffer and die all by himself

Currently, she doesn't know what to do. The vet has agreed to board Blackie while we look for a home for him. Of course, he would have to stay inside for the rest of his life. Some cats die within a couple of years from feline leukemia, while a few have lived as long as 11 years infected with the virus. Currently, Blackie just appears infected. The vet hasn't determined yet if the kitty AIDS is full blown. If Blackie actually sick-not just infected- then the choice is clear: euthenasia. However, if he's merely infected, it's possible that he could lead a happy life for several years. Maybe more. He's obviously a little reticent around people, having lived as a stray for a couple of years. However, with some coaxing and TLC, he could become a good pet for someone that is happy to be a single cat household. Be aware that he cannot be allowed back outside again. So I'm asking my readers-both of them- to post a link to this story. If Blackie is just infected, but not actively disease ridden, and someone is willing to give him a happy home for however long he has, we can try and work something out. I'd hate to have the vet have to kill him just because we can't find a home.

I realize that I'd have a better likelihood of success if I had the traffic of the Puppy Blender, but I'll take the chance that someone with high traffic links to this post. I will post an update on Blackie's condition as soon as I know something definitive.

Why can't I take him? Because I already have 3 adopted strays in my household and all 3 are healthy. Much as I'd love to help, I cannot risk the infection to my cats. Hence the request for a single cat household adoption.

Thanks for reading. I know that I'm asking for a miracle, but that's pretty much the only chance left at this point.

Update: The cat currently resides in Richmond, VA. Thanks to Harvey for pointing out that I had failed to mention that.

Update: Serenity links to another horrifying story where some pieces of excrement treat an animal like some useless debris to be discarded. It's related to Blacie how? Only in that people act like such turds towards animals too often and this is one case where an abandoned cat(and yes, one infected with feline leukemia) can possibly be given a decent home where he can live out his life. Yep, this post is a Hail Mary; my mother and I are working the live humans in the area, too.

Final Update(and it's good news!): Sometimes the Hail Mary actually works: Blackie has a home. There is a pet rescue home not far from here that takes mostly dogs, but has a new FIV/feline leukemia positive cats, and the people there have agreed to take Blackie. The vet will give him all of his shots now and neuter him before he heads on to the pet hotel.
Thanks to everyone for helping, and especially to Harvey for providing the extra linkage and traffic. I will now remove this post from the top of this blog.

4 Time to wake up and smell the cat box. Four cats is three too many. Over the years I watched my mother degenerate into a 'Cat Lady'. When she finally stroked out and went into a home, we ventured into her house to survey the damage. (She had forbidden anyone from entering her house for over ten years.) Multiple dogs in cages stacked one on the other. Cats beyond counting (in the 40+ range), most caged. Some dead in their cages. Dead cat carcasses in the freezer. All these animals had to be euthanized. The neighbors had complained for years, but the animal shelter authorities are part of the 'save-all-animals-all-the-time' crowd.) The whole thing was a horror story that makes me shudder (literally) even after ten years. Don't call me an animal hater. We share our house with an aging potbelly pig, who has the run of the house and half the yard, but when her life becomes more suffering than enjoyment, or if she ever turns into a 'toxic' beast like this cat with leukemia (and I say 'beast' affectionately), we'll do the manly thing and put her down. [Hope someone does the same for me - and I know there are going to be a lot of people who say I should be put down right now for my 'extreme' opinions.]

What else are we to make of Joe Wilson trying to Big Lie his way out of his current quandry? Apparently, Joe decided to take his case to the public more or less repeating the Clinton it's-all-a-VRWC canard. Since Wilson can count on the liberal mainstream media to help defend him, it would normally be a good plan. This time, though, those pesky stubborn facts are really against him. Qando uses those facts to make Joe Wilson his bitch.

Found this story via Cold Fury. I love Krispy Kreme glazed donuts, fresh out of the hot oil, coated with a gooey layer of sugar. This, however, is an abomination. Ugh. I already had a similar beverage in mind:

1 pint Heavy whipping cream
2 dozen Boston Cream filled Krispy Kreme donuts
1 pound lard

Blend in Cuisinart until lardy foam forms. Ingest via IV; keep cardiologist and mortician on speed dial.

Unrelated update: Mike also posted this about the new reports of WMD being found in Iraq. Money quote:

Victory for the Dems this fall means defeat for the US in the WoT. That really is all there is to it. ItÂ’s a source of constant rueful amazement to me that some otherwise very smart people like Andrew Sullivan canÂ’t see it, or refuse to, or are willing to put other issues ahead of it. I donÂ’t understand that at all, and IÂ’m not sure I even want to.

Steve makes a strong analysis of the whole Sandy Berger fiasco. Let's see what we have here: former NSA, campaign advisor to Kerry, missing documents related to terrorism from the time before 9/11, said documents destroyed. Okay, tell me the truth. Berger is a Rove plant, isn't he? Maybe we'll get to hear the "no controlling legal authority argument" again.

I love election season.

Update: Emily steals my idea before I even had it. Of course, I don't own Photoshop, so it's just as well.

So Joe Wilson turns out to be a complete liar: Bush not only didn't lie about Iraq seeking to aquire uranium, Wilson's own reports and memos actually emphasize President Bush's position. And Wilson is a Kerry campaign advisor? Good grief. I've become convinced that the Democrats have ceased to be a serious party. When someone that you've held up as a paragon of virtue turns out to be a lying sack of sh*t, and you've embraced the Michael Moore wingnut section of the population, well, you shouldn't be surprised when the majority of Americans don't think that you should be allowed to handle the reins of this country. I know that this sounds harsh, but I've been waiting-apparently in vain-for the Democrat leadership to stand up and say, "These fringe groups are not representative of the party as a whole. These ridiculous allegations an invectives are beneath us." For some reason, they don't. The Republicans long ago repudiated the nutjobs within the party. It's a sign of maturity. Message to the Democrat leadership: grow up. It's not a fluke that some lifelong members of your party will be voting for George Bush in November.

Today is Wictory Wednesday. Every Wednesday I ask my readers to volunteer and/or donate to the Bush campaign if they haven't done so already. And if you have volunteered and donated, then get a friend to join you. It's the only way to defeat the lying liberal media.

If you're a blogger, you can join Wictory Wednesday simply by putting up a post like this every Wednesday, asking your readers to volunteer and/or donate to the president's re-election campaign. Be sure to visit these fine participating blogs:

I read Mrs. du Toit regularly for a two reasons: she writes incredibly well and she links to other worthy sites/posts. Today was no exception because she linked to Claire Wolfe's blog. Heck, I didn't even know she had a blog. I was a big fan of her "Free Life" articles over at WND and was sorry when she no longer posted over there. Now I can get my fix on a more regular basis. But you want to know what's even better? She's a Firefly fan. Excerpt:

My first thought after finishing the DVDs was that the Fox execs who destroyed Firefly should be slathered with honey then staked out over a red ant's nest. But on second thought, a far better fate would be to make them watch as Firefly catches cult fire and becomes the Star Trek of the 21st century -- but better than ST ever dreamed of being. Let them writhe in the agony of their own incredibly blind decisionmaking.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Maybe the esteemed spousal unit will buy me the series DVD. And I can't wait for Serenity to hit the theaters, probably sometime in 2005. Woo hoo!

Or some other complete bullshit. Insert your own lie here. Anyway, Kim du Toit links to an article by Ron Paul at lewrockwell.com. It turns out the the decennial census required by the Constitution of the USA doesn't provide some government pencil pushers enough information so that they can shove a 2x4 up your ass at their whim help you properly. There's now going to be a YEARLY survey about you: your job, personal habits, what's your favorite Spice Girl, do you prefere Coke or Pepsi, etc.. And they plan on fining people if they don't send it in. You know, an illegal mandatory survey. Let me enter the discussion by offering my own opinion on the matter: bite me, you worthless government hacks. You think that you can enforce my compliance(oh wait, is Janet Reno back in office again?) on this particular issue, you are sadly mistaken. I realize that most people in this country have adopted the attitude that "if they tell me to do it, I guess I have to". I am not so sanguine. Point to me where in the Constitution it requires me to aquiesce to your demand. Can't do it? Then fuck off.
