Bush was Right to Reject Kyoto Treaty

Ha! According to Forbes Magazine, Bush shouldn't feel so bad about all the criticism for not signing the Kyoto Treaty. I found this story on newsmax. Apparently, the Kyoto treaty seemed like a good idea at the time, but now that the time has come to cut emissions, the awful truth is sinking in.... In order to cut emissions, you must cut growth!

Even Britain’s Tony Blair, a supporter of the protocol, seemed to admit defeat for the treaty when in a recent speech at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York, he conceded: "No country is going to cut growth” – which is the only known way to cut emissions, according to Forbes.

Oh, but that's not even the best part! It seems that while the European nations were too busy complaining about us not signing the treaty, they were'nt paying attention to their own emissions.

Ironically, even western Europe is not reducing emissions. According to the protocol, western European nations must reduce their emissions to levels 8 percent lower than those of 1990. But in the years since the treaty was negotiated, carbon dioxide levels increased by 7 percent in France, 11 percent in Italy and 29 percent in Spain. Overall, the increase for western Europe was 5.4 percent.

"After many years of European chatter about the monstrous evil perpetrated by George W. Bush in rejecting Kyoto,” Forbes concludes, "it is of possible interest that the increase in carbon emissions in the U.S. during those years was slightly lower (4.7 percent).”

Those who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones.

Oh, no!!!!

Saddam Hussein is claiming mistreatment at the hands of coalition forces. Perhaps they gave him Cooler Ranch instead of Nacho Cheesier.

"Yes, I have been beaten, everywhere on my body. The marks are still there," Saddam told the court after sitting quietly listening to testimony. "And I'm not complaining about the Americans because I can poke their eyes with my own
hands."

I don't follow you on that last part, Saddam. Maybe it's bad translation. But here's one word of advice I'll give ya. Don't be trying that eye pokey thing on your guards. It will only lead to more beatings.

Iraqi Voter: Anybody Who Doesn’t Appreciate America Can Go To Hell

They're reporting a heavy turnout in the Iraqi elections. The high turnout has officials hopeful that we might begin pulling out of Iraq next year. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Somebody at the DNC needs to get the word out to the Iraqi people. "This is supposed to be a quagmire! How do you expect us to take back Congress!"

Also, I found this nifty little nugget of news over at The Political Teen.

“Anybody who doesn’t appreciate what America has done and President Bush, let them go to hell”

– Iraqi Citizen, voter Betty Dawisha

41 Senators Tell Bush: Be Frank on Iraq

Do I still get to be Chauncy? Check out this story from the Kansas City Star. I originally found it on Yahoo but Yahoo can eat shit. Funny how the headline doesn't mention any party affiliation. It all becomes clear in the first paragraph:

WASHINGTON - President Bush is hearing from the Senate on Iraq. Forty Democrats and one independent have signed a letter urging him to be more frank with Iraqis and the American public.

So it's safe to assume this is just politically motivated. Now the democrats are pretending to represent the very same people who will be doomed to annihilation if the dems get what they want: an early withdrawal.

The letter says the administration needs to present "a plan that identifies the remaining political, economic, and military benchmarks that must be met and a reasonable schedule to achieve them."

How many times do we have to say it before you fucking retards get it? We'll be done when the Iraqis can sufficiently take care of themselves! In light of the daily reports of violence and death, it seems that pulling out now would be a bit premature, don't ya think? And this shit about a reasonable schedule! It's fucking ridiculous. It will be done when it's done! If we don't meet some deadline, are you going to want to just give up? We're sorry Iraq. This is taking too long, so we're gonna hand you over to the Ba'athists and the terrorists. This reminds me of a child nagging his parents. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" No we're not there yet, and if you don't stop nagging me, so help me, I'll stop this car and give you something to whine about!!

It's been a while since I've gotten one of these....

On the 21st ofApril 2000, my client, his wife and their two children were involved in a car accident along Kara-Sokode express way while arriving from a Holiday to Lome. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then, I have made several inquiries to their embassy to locate any of their extended relatives and this has also proved unsuccessful. I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the fund valued at US$10.5m,(Ten million and five hundred thousand United States Dollars), left behind by my client before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Security Finance Firm where this huge amount were deposited.

This is funny as hell, considering that Chauncy Biggins is a pseudonym. It would be pretty hard for a made up identity to claim an inheritance. And oh yeah, I'm pretty sure this is some kind of scam. If I contacted him, he'd be telling me how he needs $10,000 up front to cover filing fees and to bribe officials. I'd be like, if you have access to millions of dollars, why do you need my money? I'm sure that would end the conversation. Also, I don't have any money to send them. Why do you think I'm using blogger? Here's my question. Do you think anybody ever actually falls for this shit?

Demystifying the Cult of 7G

I suppose you're wondering what the hell all this cult of 7G stuff means. I have thus far made no attempt at explaining it. I assure you, we are no cult in the strictest sense of the word. It all goes back to 1997, when yours truly was a lowly Burger King employee. I worked at the same store as my older brother and several of his friends. In the back of the store, next to where we stacked up the fry baskets, was a little nook that we employees would sneak into to hide from our supervisors and eat our ill-gotten hershey's chocolate pies (working around all that food while hungry was torture most foul!). In that little fortress of solitude, was an apparent alter to some strange deity named 7G. Someone had taken a 7 and a G from our sign and taped them to the wall. Had this place not been closed down a few years ago, I imagine the alter would still be standing. Know this, mortals! G is the 7th letter of the alphabet! and 7 is a mystical number of much power and significance! Attempt to deny the boundless power of the mighty 7G and embrace your destruction! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Surprise! Liberal Canucks Want to Ban Guns

Gun violence in Canada is spiralling out of control!

So far this year some 50 young men -- most of them black -- have been shot dead in Toronto

50 men? Dear God! That must be almost half the population of Toronto!

"I've come to the conclusion that significant change is needed. I've come to the conclusion that we should ban handguns," said Paul Martin at a rally.

But I thought you solved the gun violence problem with the national gun registry. Oh wait. That was just so you'd know who had firearms so you could ban them, right? Too bad hardly anybody bothered to register! So the solution must be to pass some more laws that nobody's going to obey, right?

Some government officials blame the problem in part on smuggling of handguns from neighboring United States.

So by their own admission, banning guns won't solve the problem? Funny how banning something with laws never seems to make the problem go away, does it? My only question is this: have the proponents of gun bans ever considered studying the cases of other countries that have tried the same thing? You know, just to measure whether your proposed legislation will have the desired effect?

I feel Ashamed

I will admit, I have not been living up to my usual standards as of late. I've hardly been posting at all lately. Is it true that married life truly destroys a man's ability to form opinions? What has happened to me? I promise, that as soon as the news starts getting a little more interesting, I'll throw myself back into it with renewed vigor. You have my word on it!
