Great truths about growing old
1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional…
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you’re down there.
4) You’re getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It’s frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions…
6) Time may be a great healer, but it’s a lousy beautician
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.

VBS TV: Afghanistan In The UK Part 3 of 5
'Night time mortar attacks lead into a day visit to Paghman village. A re-creation of an Afghan village complete with Afghani-refugees employed to man bazaars and restaurants. Suddenly a suicide bomber, played by one of the Gurkha soldiers who blend in among 2 Para, detonates his vest. The aforementioned Afghani refugees and the amputees / actors / stuntmen / ex-estate agents and aspiring comedians who work for an agency called Amputees In Action react in appropriate fashion. The army uses these guys a lot these days.'
Recovery? Genius!.............from Rico
Recovery?
Home sales reached a 15-year LOW in June. What then do you call this just-reported 27.2% DROP from that?
- I'd call it the 'bleeding edge' of the next leg downward.
A 'normal' housing market has about a six-month supply of homes. THIS market has a 12.5-month supply.
Still not convinced something is amiss? Still believe the Government can 'save' us?
- Biden (of "summer of recovery" fame) the GENIUS of modern time has just said "we're moving in the right direction."
NO we are NOT.
- Moving hard-left is NOT the right direction any more than downward is...what a 'maroon' (h/t Daffy Duck).

Recovery?...............from Rico
Be honest. Does THIS chart of cumulative bank failures look anything remotely close to the "recovery" BS we're being endlessly splattered with by the talking heads/teleprompter readers in the financial media, the lame-stream media, or our elected criminals?
The talk of a "double dip" is just as silly and meaningless as the "recovery" blather...we never left the recession to begin with, and we continue downward as an economy.
This is WHY your daily experience (what you see with your eyes and ears) does not 'mesh' with what you are being told.
Magical thinking (also known as delusional reality-avoidance) reigns supreme...until it suddenly does NOT.
Even the most gullible and stupid among us will eventually figure it out.
If You Can't Beat 'Em, Have a Seat
In spite of all our president's best efforts, it would appear that we are in a depression, not a "downturn." That, my friends, is what you'd call Hell on Earth.
But we're happy here in America, see, because we're learning how much we need to change. I don't mean them. I mean guys like me, bad redneck boys who say bad redneck things. "Change!" our president says. You can be sure I'll do that. But first!
Thanks for listening. Enjoy the entertainment. And remember . . . .

'Moderate Muslims Are Going to Be Pushed Into Joining Extremist Movements Like al-Qaida'
So much for moderate Muslims repudiating jihad:
Experts worry the controversy surrounding an Islamic center near ground zero in Lower Manhattan is playing right into the hands of radical extremists.Hey, Imam Rauf's dreams come true! Build a Victory Mosque at Ground Zero, alienate two-thirds of the American people and piss on the families of the fallen, then turn around and attack them all as a bunch "anti-Muslim bigots," which in turn induces all those millions of "peaceful" Muslims worldwide to show up at al Qaeda's recruiting stations.
The supercharged debate over the proposed center has attracted the attention of a quiet, underground audience — young Muslims who drift in and out of jihadi chat rooms and frequent radical Islamic sites on the Web. It has become the No. 1 topic of discussion in recent days and proof positive, according to some of the posted messages, that America is indeed at war with Islam.
"This, unfortunately, is playing right into their hands," said Evan F. Kohlmann, who tracks these kinds of websites and chat rooms for Flashpoint Global partners, a New York-based security firm. "Extremists are encouraging all this, with glee.
"It is their sense that by doing this that Americans are going to alienate American Muslims to the point where even relatively moderate Muslims are going to be pushed into joining extremist movements like al-Qaida. They couldn't be happier."
Brilliant.
And working true to plan. These folks are da bomb! Really!

A "Leviathan Force" to engage in any future ancient set piece battles versus enemy panzergrenadiers, traditional army air forces, carrier battle groups, humanitarian interventions and a Surge ala COIN force to maintain stability in crunk and disorderly hoods.

VBS TV: Afghanistan in the U.K. - Part 2 of 5
'Day two of our almost completely sleepless five day embed with 2 Para and we get to know some young soldiers who are preparing to go to Afghanistan, or “Afghan” as it’s commonly termed, for the first time. Among them are the two young women who look after 2 Para’s dogs, one of them a brutal, combat-shocked Alsatian trained to attack people in civilian clothing that we had to steer clear of at all times. We follow the troops as they “kill” some Taliban, played by Afghani-refugees. Finally we get to share some down-time and black comedy with some of B-Company’s sergeants, who finally solve the age-old riddle “Why has (toddler’s favourite) Noddy got a bell on his hat?”'

Article: Canada's wilting Greens
Last weekend Canada’s Green party held a policy convention and confirmed leader Elizabeth May as its leader going forward. May and the Green party leadership changed the party’s constitution to remove term limits for leaders, sidestepping an internal challenge from Green candidate Sylvie Lemieux.
Lemieux wanted a leadership contest, claiming that under May’s leadership the party has seen 25% of its members leave since the last federal election.

Double Dips - Credit ratings...............from Rico
I seriously have to wonder what our national credit rating will be in future once both of these "dips" get done with us.

YOY sales decline.............from Rico
I''m a BIG fan of Svenskarnasdag, so no surprise the Minnesota YOY sales decline of existing homes of 40.8% caught my eye.
[Jul '09 to Jul '10]
BUT the Wisconsin cheese-heads had a YOY sales decline of 43.1%!!
Meanwhile, back at the Neverland Ranch of reality per the MSM spin-meisters, it was NV and FL that were licking the toilet bowl (near 9%?).
- Not much of a comparison. Surprised that the media lied to you?
Yeah, yay, gimme more of that "recovery" oh annointed-ones in foggy-bottom!!!
- And the Justice Dept under Eric Holder is actibely looking for "Ebonics" experts. I think there are a butt-load of 'em in Rwanda and Zimbabwe, dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to New Zealand. (leave your daughter at home if you visit)
Seriously I love my country but some days I just wish most of the people in it would piss off and never come back because its not the place I grew up in.
Where is Richard George Apperley?
Why would you want to know? Possibly because he raped and sodomised a 15 year old girl and the sensible sentancing trust currently have him listed as: “Current Location:unknown “. And hes evidently been kicking about free in the community for four years.
We have a serious problem with youth violence, armed crime, child abuse and sexual crimes. If you visit keep this in mind, the secnery is pretty but some of the people are one step out the jungle, and its not a big step at that.

VBS TV:
'Motivated by the desire to find out just what makes smart young people want to join the army and go fight in Afghanistan, we travel to STANTA, a training camp in middle England to meet the esteemed 2 Para, one of the British army’s most elite, and legendarily aggressive, units. They are readying to travel to Helmand Province for Winter and are using a multi-million pound “Afghani Village” in the middle of the British countryside to prepare their new troops for their first visit to the war in Afghanistan. Some of the soldiers, male and female, are just 18 years-old.
