Template complete

Well, I believe the template is complete. The new header is in, all the sidebar stuff is good. All the links are linking. Before I get out of my designing mood does anyone have anything they would like to see up here?

The death of a Moonbat

Being the eternal optimist, I was hoping that the moonbat syndrome had subsided from my past indescretions. Boy was I wrong. The whole time I've been laying low they've been foaming at the mouth. You know, you just can't get away from these people. They hound you like a little kid brother that was told the world is flat once so your declaration that the world is round brings about false declarations of you being terminally wrong.

A couple of days ago I put up an image of George W. Bush handing out the first medal of honor in the ongoing effort in Iraq. I called it an image of hope. I considered it so because the individual being honored had done something of extreme valor and was being honored with the highest honor a hero can be awarded. It gave me hope to see someone that would go that far above and beyond to do his duty in saving the lives of others. It gave me hope.

What some people failed to see past was that this particular medal of honor was given posthumously. Apparently if someone dies then all of his deeds no longer matter because he is dead. Does that mean the 3,000 lives of those killed in the World Trade Center mean nothing? Of course it does, they're little Eichmans after all. Apparently, some people will dwell on death as a person's only act and ignore anything else that has happened in their life.

Maybe I'm wrong about this. Is someone's valor nullified if they lose their life in the process? Is it nobler to stand by and watch as your comrades get shot just so that you may live? Apparently, some people think so.


UPDATE: Should I put up images of rage so the moonbats can tell the difference? Another series like Images of hope?

Dude, God WANTED you to get caught!

LINK

Let's set the scene here:

The sun is out. It's just a little cloudy but that doesn't always mean anything. Unfortunately, today it does. The weather gets a bit rough, but no harm, no foul. You continue to go about your work and find out from the news that a tornado has just ripped through your neck of the woods, destroying your home.

While you're at work calling FEMA and a hotel the rescue crews are rumaging through the wreckage and come across what's left of your home. Instead of continuing on they call the police. The police come, not to your house but to your workplace. They cuff you and put you behind bars.


The operation had lamps, hydroponic equipment and log books. Fifty-four marijuana plants neatly arranged in the master bedroom had a street value of about $8,000, authorities said.

The operation was uncovered in February after a twister, with winds whipping up to 112 mph, tore away Crook's roof.

Palm Bay police and other emergency crews were searching through the debris for injured victims when they came across the 2- to 3-foot plants. Crook was not at home during the storm.


Dude, God WANTED you to get caught!

President George W. Bush presents the Medal of Honor (posthumous) to Sgt. 1st Class Paul R. Smith’s family—(from left) daughter Jessica, 18; wife, Birgit; and son David, 11—at the White House, Apr. 4. This photo appeared on www.army.mil.

This is the first medal of honor to be given out since 03 October, 1993. Two were given during Somalia to Randall D. Shughart and Gary I. Gordon. For more on the medal of honor you can go HERE.

A headline just waiting to happen

It appears CNN had some headline fun today. I can't blame them. It was just so easy. Okay, here's the header paragraph:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a surprising turnaround, federal health advisers Wednesday recommended allowing silicone-gel breast implants to return to the U.S. market after a 13-year ban on most uses of the devices -- but only under strict conditions that will limit how easily women can get them.

Okay, now the fun part. Which one of these was the headline. The answer will be below the fold:

1) FDA panel recommends lifting implant ban
2) Implant ban could be lifted -- but face strict conditions
3) Suprise Shift - FDA backs lifting silicone breast implant ban
4) Panel supports silicone implant maker
5) FDA nixes silicone implant expansion
6) Second firm seeks to lift silicone implant ban

1) FDA panel recommends lifting implant ban - AP story
2) Implant ban could be lifted -- but face strict conditions - CNN
3) Suprise Shift - FDA backs lifting silicone breast implant ban - MSNBC
4) Panel supports silicone implant maker - CBC
5) FDA nixes silicone implant expansion - New Kerala, India
6) Second firm seeks to lift silicone implant ban - MSNBC

I'm sure if we racked our brains we could lift a few plugs from somewhere. I'm sure it would be an uplifting experience that could expand into an entire meme. Just let me know if this post has become a bit too superficial for your liking.

(Okay, I'm being childish. Let me have my moment!)

Physician’s assistant Tom Lewandowski, from Company C, 205th Army Medical Battalion, provides care to an El Salvadoran during a medical assistance visit to San Vicente. This photo appeared on www.army.mil.

So you mean to tell me we're doing something besides die in Iraq? We have time to check the teeth of kids in El Salvador!?! This must be Rupublican propaganda. There's no way this can me real! There's going to be a draft, it can't be real! (No, I'm not serious.)

Just throwing another piece of American service out there.

Enjoy!

Moving day!

Well, as you can see I'm moving in. I have all of the boxes packed up in a dozen or so rooms. I haven't even called the phone company to have my service switched over yet.

Alright, it's not quite pretty yet. At least you can see the design idea a bit more. One I get going on photoshop later in the week all of the choppy white stuff will be replaces with the background you see everywhere else.

Eventually, I'll even be putting a SGT. Rock fade in at the end of the smoke, but I'm going to try and get everything perdified.

For those that insist on 800x600 viewing size your going to be out of luck. I could do it by making the article part flexible, like on my old site, but it would end up giving you like two words per line. My suggestion to you is to buy a good pair of reading glasses or but a mouse with left and right scroll as well as up and down. as always, if anyone has any suggestions I'm always listening.

P.S. By the end of the week I'll have gone past 20,000 hits! YAY!
