Finally, a financial strategy that makes sense. FOUR extra ravens are being drafted into the Tower of London because of the financial crisis — to prevent a 350-year-old curse coming true. My suspicion, though I'm unable to confirm it, is that in order to reduce labor costs, either fewer ravens were used or an inferior … Continue reading Finally, A Cure for Financial Woes

Olympic Logo for 2012
This is what happens when you let children play with scissors. 😛 The logo for the 2012 Olympics in London has been unveiled, and it looks like this: Click on the image for more wonderful hideousness. It sort of looks like an incomplete jigsaw puzzle, missing a couple of pieces, that has Pepto-Bismol spilled on … Continue reading Olympic Logo for 2012
Burning Babies
I can hardly imagine the cognitive disassociation necessary. Here's a controversy from London; women are upset that, after an abortion, the hospital burns the aborted fetuses in the hospital incinerator. One local woman, who asked not to be named, said after the heartache of deciding to have an abortion she was mortified to find the … Continue reading Burning Babies
Pope Must Die, Says Muslim
That's what a London Muslim says. The Pope must die. 1 - Pope says Muslims can be violent. 2 - Muslims riot, burn the pope in effigy, and say the Pope must die. Have I misunderstood? I keep looking for quotes from leading Muslim leaders denouncing the violence, but if quotes like that exist, I … Continue reading Pope Must Die, Says Muslim
Kenya Mission, Day 2 & 3
December 28, 2005 We arrived in London at Heathrow Airport after the overnight, overseas flight, about as refreshed as, well, people that had been on an overnight, overseas flight. Simple little trip over to Gatwick; our flight to Nairobi doesn't leave until tomorrow so we have an afternoon here. I learned something about London. It … Continue reading Kenya Mission, Day 2 & 3
Kenya Mission, Day 1
December 27, 2005 I've been remiss in my blogging duties; oddly, I actually crossed "blog about Kenya" off my todo list accidentally, and it wasn't until a friend email yesterday that I realized I had not written about this trip. Let me preface this whole adventure by saying that I thank God for the opportunity … Continue reading Kenya Mission, Day 1
Hollywood Patriot
While I may tend to go off on entertainers that bash America, I would rather highlight those that support America, not just for their patriotism but for their bravery in standing up to Hollywood leftists. I'll give kudos to Bruce Willis who's had enough of the bashing American soldiers take from Hollywood. From Michelle Malkin: … Continue reading Hollywood Patriot
Far Left, Far Right
Far Left: Al Franken is laughing it up, I suppose. Nobody else is, because he's not funny. He's promoting his new book on Amazon with a video clip showing how good it feels to kick a conservative between the legs. Michelle Malkin has video stills and here is the video clip. Basically, he questions a … Continue reading Far Left, Far Right
Terrorists Still Hate Us
Even though the title of this article says, "Muslim world rejecting violence, says poll," that's not the conclusion I get from reading the results. The survey found that in Turkey, Morocco and Indonesia 15% or fewer said that suicide bombings and other acts of violence against civilian targets in defence of Islam could be justified; … Continue reading Terrorists Still Hate Us
Too Many Topics Today
Too many topics today. Here's what has my attention today: The London terrorists appear to be homegrown. In other words, while here in the US calmer heads have pointed out that the Muslim extremist threat is external and therefor we should protect our borders, what do you do if they're already here? One of the … Continue reading Too Many Topics Today
The Power of Blogging
According to Michelle Malkin, MSNBC had 10.3 million visitors the day of London's 7/7 terrorist attack. The most heavily trafficked blog is the very liberal Daily Kos with 212,000 visitors, or 2% of the traffic at MSNBC. The power of blogs pale next to mainstream media. Chasing the Wind is running about 212 visitors a … Continue reading The Power of Blogging
Karl Rove and Valerie Plame
First, let's get the obvious out of the way: the media explosion about Karl Rove's involvement with the Valerie Plame outing isn't about some sort of justice. Karl Rove has been effective, the liberals want to take him down. They found something they think will stick. First of all, I don't think a crime was … Continue reading Karl Rove and Valerie Plame
Land Siezure
More on yesterday's post that allows the government to sieze property for nearly any reason now, Mud-n-Phud has compiled a list of property about to be siezed and the blogs that cover them.
Green Eggs and Spam
Bulk email now accounts for all email traffic on the internet. Yahoo catches and diverts one billion spam messages every day. I receive 80 pieces of spam a day. Fake phishing emails that look like they're from eBay or Citibank, ads to buy cheap drugs, online poker, get rich quick schemes, free credit cards. And … Continue reading Green Eggs and Spam
