Read all about it The intolerance of the left is just the theme of the week! Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minuteman project which sought to stem the tide of illegal aliens into the United States from Mexico (JUST AS MEXICO DOES WITH ILLEGAL ALIEN GUATEMALANS ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF MEXICO) by instituting a volunteer 'guard' network along the border, was phycially assaulted while trying to give a peaceful speech at Columbia University. Apparently the part of the brain that gets you into Columbia isn't the same part that can reason that people should not be physically assaulted for having a different view of Planet Earth than you have. That, my friends, is the same mentality of homicidal religious extremists as they blow up children. The Columbia U students and Katie the Bitch Couric can be proud they're in the same company as homicidal maniacs.

Read all about it From reading this blog, you might think I'm some right-wing, Christian, 'family-values', anti-whatever with black helicopter defense systems built into the roof of my bomb shelter. At least you might think that until you find the posts about decriminalizing marijuana. The reality is, I'm just about dead center between the left and the right. The right abhors the liberalization of drugs, which I strongly support; the right abhors choice (related to abortion, and for that matter, what I do to my body in any respect...drugs, whatever) which I strongly support; the right abhors or wishes to weaken separation of church and state, with which I strongly disagree. I don't support the Iraq war; I don't support the Patriot Act; I could go on and on. But here's where the right beats the left hands down...HYPOCRISY. The left touts freedom of speech, unless it's "hate speech", the definition of which they conveniently own. They fiercely defended Clinton when he so obviously lied under oath and committed "sexual harrassment" as--again--defined by the left themselves, and then go after a gay Congressman whose misdeeds were decidedly less despicable. The left touts tolerance, unless it is of a viewpoint with which they decide is repugnant. This article soundly supports everything I state above. CBS / Katie the Bitch Couric decided to allow a so-called right wing person to comment on their beloved evening news show. Those comments caused Katie the Bitch Couric to state later that "some might find the comments repugnant." Really? Know how many millions of Americans find your flavor of left-wing bias "repugnant"? No? Well, millions! Here are the comments Ms. Bitch Couric decided some Americans might find "repugnant" (the son of the man making these comments was murdered in the Columbine school shooting):

Since that day, I tried to answer the question why did this happen? This country is in a moral free fall. For over two generations, the public school system has taught in a moral vacuum, expelling God from the school and from the government, replacing Him with evolution, where the strong kill the weak without moral consequences. And life has no inherent value.

We teach there are no absolutes, no right or wrong. And I assure you, the murder of innocent children is always wrong, including by abortion.

Abortion has diminished the value of children. Suicide has become an acceptable action and has further emboldened these criminals. And we are seeing an epidemic increase in murder/suicide attacks on our children.

Sadly, our schools are not safe. In fact, we now witness that within our schools, our children have become a target of terrorists from within the United States.

Will someone tell me how valuing human life is repugnant? I strongly believe and find evidence everyday of the fact that evolution occurred, and so I strongly disagree with Mr. Rohrbough that evolution should not be taught. I do not agree that teaching evolution devalues human life. I believe evolution gave us human life as we know it. I am also pro-choice, but I understand why many people are not. Still, I clearly understand the fact that while my beliefs are polar to Mr. Rohrbough's, it does not make Mr. Rohrboughs beliefs repugnant. Rabid muslim extremists slaughtering innocents is repugnant. The baptists who protest funerals with the twisted belief that all bad things happen because gay people exist is repugnant. But it simply cannot be "repugnant" to try to find answers for the reasons that children seem to be the number one target against which the insane are exacting their demented visions of revenge and rage. It is not repugnant to wonder: If our high schoolers were taught day in and day out "Thou Shalt Not Kill" instead of "you shouldn't judge people", might these scenes of carnage not have taken place? What left-wing powder puff finds such thoughts "repugnant"? Both the left and the right have the presumption of owning the moral high. However, the left criticize and mocks the right for doing it because the left is so certain their stance really is the correct one and all others are utterly invalid, at best, flat out evil at worst. I have a news flash...you should have stopped believing that you know everything as soon as there was no -teen in the latter half of your age spelled out in letters. You should have learned by now that no human, NO human, has all the answers nor the key to the correct way the Earth should exist. And you should live by your own tolerance mantras to be TOLERANT of differing viewpoints, not repulsed. When the right wingers start tossing babies into the volcanoes to ease God's wrath, then you can be repulsed. But not until then. And shoot, maybe even then you might find your multiculturalism could not shun such a practice...Mr. Rohrbough is right about this part; anything goes in LiberalLand, except conservative beliefs.

Read all about it One of the things that seems quite laughable by the righteously indignant stance of the Democrats during this so-called Republican "crisis" is that it centers around a gay man who probably broke no laws (as the age of consent in Washington DC is 16). Therefore, this scandal has served merely to force a gay man out of the closet for no reason other than political bloodshed. Were the same thing to have occurred with a Democrat, those powder puff girls would have screamed endlessly over the "smear campaign" and the "witch hunt." AND, let's NOT forget the Monica Lewinsky scandal of the century; Clinton actually bonked her (although husbands all over America were thrilled to learn oral sex is not technically bonking so Clinton--and said husbands--should get a free pass on that basis alone). I quite clearly remember an interview where the Madonna herself said that Clinton should absolutely not be considered a criminal "for having sex." As if lying under oath about sexual harassment--created and advocated and shoved down all our throats like Clinton's weenie in Monica's mouth by those same damn liberals--is just "having sex." Based on that liberal premise alone, a premise and an assertion quite popular at the time, Mr. Foley should not be considered a criminal for talking about sex! As all indications are that's all he did. Now whether or not he deceived his voter base with some family values bullshit, I don't know; I'm not from Florida, thank God and Country. However, MWB is ecstatic to have yet another entry in the "Florida Fun" category so soon!!!! (Click --> Here <-- to go read more Florida Fun.)

Read all about it Yesterday, two Americans won the Nobel Prize for Medicine for discovering how to turn genes on and off. This discovery seems certain to lead to the way we can turn off the genes in cells that cause disease (thus stopping the disease process). Today, two Americans won the Nobel Prize for Physics. Makes me wonder... if Americans are so damn smart (which they obviously can be) who are all those idiots who still write checks at the grocery store?

From Randall Warner, Republican farmer in Kansas:

Stick a Republican and a Democrat in a sack, shake it up, pour it out, and the same rapacious thing crawls out. Creatures from a smoke-filled room.

A long-neglected category here at MWB, but I've got to put this one out there before another poor soul shells out one more hard-earned cent on a BMW. What's the problem you say? 1: I've had at least 20 minor to major defects in 2 1/2 years of owning the car which I purchased with 9 miles on it. It couldn't have been any newer a car unless I put it together myself in Germany. 2: The "free maintenance" plan is bullshit -- it's a pain in the ass to get in -- the BMW paid maintenance is every 15,000 miles. By the time that 15,000 miles is up, the car is falling completely apart. My maintenance is due in 500 miles, my battery light is going on and off, the trunk latch is behaving strangely, the glove compartment lock is broken again, the front end is wiggly, and they won't let me bring it in that 500 miles earlier; I can get the defects handled, but then I gotta go through the pain in the ass process AGAIN to get the oil changed in 500 miles. It's hardly worth the "free" oil change. 3: The brakes are designed to disintigrate every 10,000 miles. I'm about to be on my 3rd set of front brakes. BMW claims this is "by design" and facilitates that famous BMW handling. iGanja has one fo the best handling cars I've ridden in (an Infinity FX),and his brakes don't disintigrate every 10k miles. 4: Side effect of the disintigrating brakes...black brake dust coats the wheels so fast it's hardly worth washing the wheels. Washed them yesterday...they're black already today, I drove 7 miles today. 5: The leather on the seats is as fragile as paper. I carted a 160 pound mastiff around in my Mercedes SL 500; not a scratch on those seats. My 10 pound chihuahua has scratched the hell out of my beemer seats. I won't even bother to go on. Just trust me...neither Consumer Reports nor MWB recommends BMW automobiles anymore. The handling is nice, it's true, but it's hardly worth allt he crapola you have to put up with just to take a corner 1/50th of a mile faster than a soft Mercedes can take it.

Read all about it Florida is just an endless source of laughable maroonery. Unfortunately this story is a quite sad commentary on what can happen when said maroonery can make decisions that are so utterly destructive (like the guy who proudly invented CFCs...). I realize this was 30 years ago, but even 30 years ago we knew that tires had to be disposed of carefully because they would degrade into soil, polluting the soil. Gee, then what 68 IQ idiot thought that tires dissolving in the ocean would create a life supporting ocean reef? Did the idiot's flippers clap or just wave when the idea hit the conference room blackboard? Or was this decision rendered based on the wink of a groundhog? "He winked!" "Well, does that mean he approves?" "Yeah, says right here a groundhog wink is a 'yes' vote. So say the groundhog! Let the tire dumping begin!" And with this, the (so far) creme-de-la-creme Florida moron story, MWB succumbs and has created the category "Florida Fun." Welcome to our target list of mockery, FL!

Read all about it Muslims are outraged at the Pope for calling some of the teachings of Islam's founder (Muhommad?) "evil and inhuman." Gee, what could he possibly have been talking about...those that demand death to the infidels? Those that demand that women are horribly oppressed? Those teachings? Hmm. Bad pope, bad! And to such an incorrect statement, the forward thinking Muslim community says:

And in Turkey, the ruling party likened the pontiff to Hitler and Mussolini and accused him of reviving the mentality of the Crusades.

Ah yes, the progressive nature of Islam is weary of a 'revival' of the 'mentality' of the Crusades. To which I say, man, you guys are waaaaaaaaaaayyyyy ahead of the Christians on that front; you've been beheading people and torturing and murdering people who do not follow in strict Islamic fundamentalist ways, even when those you torture and murder are Muslim because they're not Muslim enough... Sounds like the Crusades to me you whackos! Only difference is, our Crusades were 1,000 years ago; yours continues on this very day. Now, if only the ruling party in Turkey would make similar proclamations against the barbaric behavior of Muslim terrorists...
