Patriot Act Revisions make American S.S. ?
While having lunch I heard something disturbing from a political conservative..
It would seem that the New Patriot act, gives National Police Powers to the Secret Service.
And that they stretch past the normal powers governed by the constitution, allowing them to arrest “without warrant” and other powers that seem to skirt the 4th amendment.
Furthermore the jurisdiction of this new Secret Police is to be anywhere that the director dictates, where up and until now, the jurisdiction of the Secret Service was rather confined and limited.
What the hell is our government thinking?
Talk about taking a page out of the Nazi handbook.
I am not proposing that our government will use the new powers given to the Secret Service to turn them into the Gestapo but the fact that this law makes it possible scares the hell outta me!
What scares me even more, is that nobody seems to know about this! Where are the people we normally hear bitching about every new executive power? I think that this would be a great speaking point for Dean.. after all he is the Democratic Parties bull horn on all things controversial.
I don’t know Toto but we might just be fucked.
check out Section 608 of the "USA PATRIOT IMPROVEMENT AND REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2005 "at Thomas Register
Sec. 3056A. Powers, authorities, and duties of United States Secret Service Uniformed Division
`(a) There is hereby created and established a permanent police force, to be known as the `United States Secret Service Uniformed Division'. Subject to the supervision of the Secretary of Homeland Security, the United States Secret Service Uniformed Division shall perform such duties as the Director, United States Secret Service, may prescribe in connection with the protection of the following:

Du Bist Deutschland (German for Tsar Bomb is a Homo?)
Don't you hate people that tromp around the bloggosphere just looking to flame somone?
I actually find the tiny minded little creatins funny.
Lets take for example Tsar_Bomb
"Old Tsary" (pronounced Old Tarry") as I have grown to call him flammed me, because I posted someone elses stuff, without giving credit.. well I made a mistake.. no big deal it is corrected now. He could have simply pointied my error out.. but no.
I especially liked though how he went on to first misunderstand the post and then go into a spasm of name calling.
Okay, I understand, he is German, and he does have penis envy, but why go all spastic?
So to Tsar Bomb I say.. please go invade France or something, and leave the rest of the sane world alone.
SO to Tsary.. I say.. please go fuckyourslef with a Tsharp object.
and have a nice day.

More on the now infamous ad campainge and it's idiotic leader.

Du Bist Deutschland! German for help me get this foot out of my mouth?
From: here
"The odd phrase "Du Bist Deutschland" has for some mysterious reason been a top search on Technorati for some time.
It turns out that it is a slogan from a German PR campaign with the intent to "tell everyone in Germany that you can achieve something, that you shouldn’t complain and be lazy".
The campaign has set the German blogsphere on fire when someone found an old photo from a 1935 public Nazi convention using the same phrase.
It didn't get any better when the head of the agency that created the campaign spilled his guts over bloggers in an email.
He was quoted saying:"Weblogs, the bathroom walls of the internet. What gives every PC user the right to exude [or excrete] their opinions? Most bloggers simply exude."
Way to go, sucking up to a bunch of annoyed bloggers. Nicht. "
What's next? A slogan that says, "Jews make Fine Lamps".. Somone should slap that arrogant prick.
I think it is ad execs that do most of the excreting on people.. I for one am already tired of this pricks shit.
But hey on the other hand, he has managed to get more attention, and isn;t htat the job of an Ad Agency in the first place?
The funniest thing I read about all of this, was a blog (Can't rememebr the URL) that said, "it is okay to Bring Back Nazi slogans, but don't fuck with bloggers!"

My little tribute to Monty Python thanks to youtube.com
for my python friend,
That one should also make my World of Warcraft (WoW) playing frineds smile.
then there is this..
and let's not forget!
and then...
okay one more..
well that's it for now.. I am still looking for the taunting from the french guards in Holy Grail..
until I find it you wil just have to think of me saying..
"Now go away, or I will shoot arrows into the tops of your heads, and make castenettes out of your testicles already.. !"

Hamas to run Palestine.. I think I am worried.. A lot!
Okay so Hamas (sp) was voted into control in Palestine.. WTF!
I have friends who are Christian Palestinian, and Muslim Palestinian, and none of them think that a terrorist organization is the best chance for peace.
But 71% OF THE VOTERS IN Palestine DO???
Israel may have it in their best interest to start making war plans.. (like they haven't been already), can you imagine, if say Canada said openly that it's policy was to rid the planet of The United States? Well Hamas has said that about Israel.. The dogs of war are begging to be let loose.
Here's the big problem as I see it.. Israel can now say that the populous of the Palestinian territories wants terrorism, so it is justified in killing civilians right along side of terroris leaders.. After all it was the population (by 71%) that put terrorists in command.
where will the states fall in on this? Well it ain;t gone be on the side of Palestine. (History proves that, and with our current "war on terror" the policy has already been set.)
SO what's next? Negotiating break down between the Palestinian authority and Israel, a bomb goes off in a Tel-Aviv coffee shop killing civilians, Israel marches into Palestine, or closes the temple mount, or both and all hell breaks loose.
I am afraid for my friends on both sides of that wall, they (my friends) are just people, people who want to live and let live, but with the current political storm a rising, I do not have much hope that they will be safe , in the all too near future.
I would beg for someone to step in now with some common sense, and help pave the way for peace, but I fear that it may be too late..
All we can do now is collectively pray for peace, and prepare for the worst.
enough politics for now.. I am sick over the whole damned mess!

This is the 405th post to this blog!
Can you believe that I have had 405 posts? That's a lot of nonsensical stuff to say!
Sure we're talked about Bush, and Canada, and Canadian Bush, but what have we really accomplished? (Notice the use of the royal "we")
Well, I have made a few new friends, adn even found a few that were misplaced (you never really lose a friend)
I have mispelled AND about 12,000 times, and butchered the english language more than that poor zombie in the evil dead clip below.
I found out more than I ever wnated to know about RSS and have even taught a few people how to promote themselves adn others.
I made (helped make) Nix more popular than Dawn Yang and have even threatened another with that same fate.
I have not recieved all them nekkid pictures in my email that i had hopped for.. but hey I got another 400 or so posts in me before I am spent like a soul singer oon their third encore, so I still have hope.
So ladies show me them taters, and on with the show!
Love you all, in deep and mysterious ways.

Engineering vs. management
A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost.
He reduced altitude and spotted a man walking along a path.
He descended a bit more and shouted, "excuse me, can you help me?" I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man, stopped, looked up, and then replied, "You are in a hot air balloon, hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You are between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."
You must be an engineer, " said the balloonist. I am replied the man. "How did you know?" Well answered the balloonist, everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost. Frankly you've not been much help so far.
The man responded, you must be in management.
I am replied the balloonist. But how did you know?
Well said the man, you don't know where you are or where you are going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault.

Just a few thoughts.. Kobe Bryant and true love..
Kobe .. way to go.. wow..
I think they should have let you go for wilts record.. and I ain't talking the number of hos you've had.
Okay you should go for that one too.. but damn bro 3 M on a ring.. that must be some fine.. well you know.
Secondly true love.. I do not think it ever dies.. it may fade from memory for a while, but at the slightest fanning comes back to full flame.
I know now that I have been in "true love" twice in my life.. and I feel very lucky for both opportunities.
I once was told (while getting married) that love is not jealous..
now I understand. Just knowing that the object of my affections is okay, is enough. I feel no need to posses my love, I feel only a need to know that my love is okay..
In this aspect perhaps, true love is more like a life long friendship.. No matter what is going on in either life, no matter the miles that separate, or the time between encounters, it makes no difference, the only thing that matters is knowing, knowing all is well.
Lust: is jealous, and possessive, if even for a moment.. It is all destroying, all encompassing.. As long as I cannot be with my true love.. I think I will settle for true lust.. hehehe.
I learned something about myself.. I learned that I am capable of loving, truly. I truly wish to have true love again.. and know that it is possible. To me that makes a big difference in my attitude. I now know that there is hope, where once all hops was lost. I know that love will come my way again, if I am ready for it. I know that I am okay.
Now lets get back to lust..

Dear Nix..
Eat a bag of Darkness Falls..
Okay, that was just not nice.. but hey I am glad to see you are still above dirt..
You know I may just get your whinning ass somthing while in L.A.
Hope you like crap from the Airport gift shop..
At this point it looks like i will have about two evenings to go play.. mid week so I do not expect anything too exciting, perhpas I will catch a movie.. maybe there will be a darkeness falls marathon on the tele?
I oddly enough never caught the Evil Dead Movies, and now have discovered them really for the first time.. fun flicks!
I highly recomend them for anyone that wants to have a good time watching a horror flick.. you have to have a damn strange sense of humor to fully "get it", but even if you have had a partial frontal loboty, they should provide a grin or two.
lemme see if I have any more Swden pics to share.. too bad I can;t see the blog from here, I have to guess which ones I put up? .. here is one of me sleeping in the paris airport..
See not all the chairs were those damn torture devices.. this was at the terminal.. I got about 20 minutes worth of nap.
This is a good rendition of how I slept the first night in Sweden after being awake for 36 hours (less the 20 minute nap in paris)
I promised myself that the next tiem I was going to be in the air for more than 4 hours, I woudl buy business call tickets.. now I am flying across country to LA, adn my cheap ass bought coach tickets again!
I deserve to have my legs cramped and my ass sleeping for two days.. cheap bastard.
I really wish I could have blogged from Paris.. I was so out of my frickin' skull sleepy.. it woudl have been a real hoot to read after sleeping a while.. I imagine it woudl have been somthing like Nix's Spawn takeovers..
Well that's enough for now.. be good, take care, get bent.

As of right now I am flying out solo.. I have meetings part of the day on the 21st.. and then back in the air ewarly afternoon on the 2nd.. really not much time.
With any luck at all I will get out to Groman's or some such place.. maybe make it into hollywood so I can see the freaks out on hollywood blvd?
I alnmost hate to say it, but I think I have had enough travel for a little while.. but liks I always say, if the incentive is strong enough, I'll do damn near anything.. I am such a ho.
