The Internet is like a Penis......
It can be up or down. It's more fun when it's up, but it makes it hard to get any real work done.
In the long-distant past, its only purpose was to transmit information considered vital to the survival of the species. Some people still think that's the only thing it should be used for, but most folks today use it for fun most of the time.
It has no conscience and no memory. Left to its own devices, it will just do the same damn dumb things it did before.
It provides a way to interact with other people. Some people take this interaction very seriously, others treat it as a lark. Sometimes it's hard to tell what kind of person you're dealing with until it's too late.
If you don't apply the appropriate protective measures, it can spread viruses.
It has no brain of its own. Instead, it uses yours. If you use it too much, you'll find it becomes more and more difficult to think coherently.
We attach an importance to it that is far greater than its actual size and influence warrant.
If you're not careful what you do with it, it can get you in big trouble.
It has its own agenda. Somehow, no matter how good your intentions, it will warp your behaviour. Later you may ask yourself "why on earth did I do that?"
Some folks have it, some don't.
Those who have it would be devastated if it were ever cut off. They think that those who don't have it are somehow inferior. They think it gives them power. They are wrong.
Those who don't have it may agree that it's a nifty toy, but think it's not worth the fuss that those who do have it make about it. Still, many of those who don't have it would like to try it.
Once you've started playing with it, it's hard to stop.
Some people would just play with it all day if they didn't have work to do.

The Sunday Best....
Minister's £60,000 expenses for parents' home: 'Rumbled' Tony McNulty drops claim... then calls for it to be curtailed. Another Labour Crook!
Dispatched: The post office boss who insisted his customers speak English. Disgraceful. If the Muslems don't like it here they can leave.
Stasi HQ UK... where details of all your journeys are secretly logged and kept for a decade. WTF!!! The governments record with 'security' and computer systems is not good.
Cripes! Boris's plan to celebrate St George (and to blazes with what the PC brigade think). Good ole Boris.
Desperate search for goose left with crossbow embedded in its back after sickening attack. Find the thugs and do the same to them.
Anyone amputated below the knees calls himself Scratcher - as in 'it's just a scratch'. Incredibly brave guys.
Trust bankers? You'd be safer on the Titanic. True.
UK to remain in deflation trap until 2012, economists warn. We are in deep trouble.
Britain to join 'civilian surge' in Afghanistan. Only because we don't have any more troops to spare.
Hunt supporters say decision to drop charges against three hunt masters proves ban has failed. Bye bye ban.
Labour spends 'more on rail consultants than trains'. Jobs for the boys. How much of their fees come back to Labour as donations to party funds?
Bikini wax ban becomes too hairy for officials. Not such a smooth ride!
RAF bomb the Taliban from 8,000 miles away. We need more Predators..
Minister in charge of offshore clampdown ran tax haven firm. Is there anyone in Labour who isn't a crook?
Officers attack 'MoD muddle'. The military will always suffer while the MoD exists. They do not need a ministry.
Democrat anger at Obama overkill. Even his own side don't like him.
Grace Mugabe is immune from prosecution in Hong Kong. She is not immune from the people of Zimbabwe who will get her eventually.
Sergeant Duane Edwards: you grow up fast fighting a war. Good lad.

Comparisons........by Rico
I'm heartily tired of the phoney and fawning media comparisons of Obama to Lincoln.
Since they are all followers, fans, or fellow-travelers of Karl Marx I have no reasonable expectation of honest comparisons to Stalin, Mao, or Castro from the MSM.
But HERE is a comparison that even graduates of the government-run school system of today can immediately grasp...OBAMA to NEWMAN!
NO...and this is for the 52% of you morons that voted for Obama, NOT the actor PAUL Newman! The other one!

Sneak preview - new book deal.....from Rico
It's pretty impressive actually. The first pResident of the US to get a "book deal" before taking office. This may be very forward-looking on the part of the publisher, since many of us expect Obameinfuhrer's 'accomplishments' will not be good ones. Why hurt his feelings by refusing a book deal after-the-fact?
A well-placed anonymous source of mine has acquired a copy of the book dust cover art for me. It is not very surprising, but it IS descriptive of the substance of the man. Enjoy!

At the White House.......
Last Tuesday, as President Obama got off the helicopter in front of the White House, he was carrying a baby piglet under each arm.
The squared away Marine guard snaps to attention, Salutes and says: “Nice pigs, sir.”
The President replies “These are not pigs…these are authentic Arkansas Razorback Hogs. I got one for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and I got one for Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi.”
The squared away Marine again snaps to attention, Salutes and says, ”Excellent trade, sir.”

Rico writes: 'Gone Wild'......
Where are you Snoop Dog?
This is potentially BIGGER than your "Girls Gone Wild" shtik. I call it "Commies Gone Wild!"
Congress is on FULL DISPLAY as a den of criminality and malfeasance. A collection of aging, clueless, smugly incompetent, corrupt, and self-serving demi-Communists. The recent Stalinesque show trials clearly demonstrate that we now have a "political class" of aging hippies and 60's Aquarian flower children who are on a permanent LSD-flashback cum power-trip who have warped the representative American system to become NOT servants (employees if you will) of we-the-people, but an Uber-class of Masters of the people....our new Tsars ruling over we-the-serfs!
Monetary and currency policy is only ONE of the weapons now being used to wage war on America and reshape its ideology and political course into a sick and twisted dystopia of Chicago politics infused with Marxism. Ergo: Communists Gone Wild.
Take a look at today's chart of US money supply and tell me it's not so.
For those who attended government-run schools and cannot 'read' charts, go to the library and check out a book by Sinclair Lewis titled "It Can't Happen Here." It may still be on the shelves. Maybe. It's an 'old' book.
The ones who still prize their individualism and personal liberty are already rediscovering Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" and figuring out for themselves 'who' John Galt was (is).
For a very few "in the know" I direct you to ObaMarx's DIRECTIVE NUMBER 1404.10 of 23Jan09 [DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce] identifying a subset of the DoD civilian workforce for operational requirements. DoDD 3000.05 (Ref (b)).

Thank God for Canada...
George Galloway banned from Canada. The man is a traitor and a terrorist sympathiser and should be thrown out of Britain.
