The world is changing. Patsy Parisi and Burt Gervasi can't shake down StarBucks for protection money. "Every last fucking bean is in the computer" they're told by the manager. Patsy opines, "It's over for the little guy".

What may be unknown to many is a report that an American woman who worked at one of the local clubs on the Island managed to survive without any debris or flotation devices for days not just hours.
To find out how this was accomplished I tracked her down and asked Crystal Lapdance, pictured here, how she was able to float for so long, but she was as baffled as Island officials.

Iran has successfully enriched uranium for the first time, a landmark in its quest to develop nuclear fuel

Pamela at Atlas Shrugs tells us "Sweden is sick. Terribly, mortally. They have surrendered to the extremists. There is no hope. No hope for these cowards."

My brother oversees the finances of our company and he noticed a mistake in the addition of billable hours from one of the law firms we use to defend ourselves from stupid laws and regulations of the FCC. So he called the accounting department which acknowledged the mistake and was transferred to one of our lawyers to OK the change in the invoice.

Things that tick me off (in no order of importance):
1) People who talk in movies really piss me off. Let's all admit it - it's usually someone with three syllables in her name like Shaniqwa. If you stare in her direction as a polite hint that she is an uncivilized animal she takes great offense.

These Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas boys will be dropped into Iraq using commercial airlines and have been given only the following facts about terrorists:

Are you tired of hearing your spouse say:
"We never do anything together."

The night before the burial of her husband's body, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of 'Cat,' and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept. "I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it," she said. "I think that's what he would have done..........

The MSM and riots of Bushbashing sites have been all over this photo, but they were MIA last March when the republican witch pondered: It’s a question that has been asked many times: If Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fell asleep during a case, would the media notice? The answer, apparently, is no.

38-year-old art and science teacher at Sheridan High School, Adrienne Lee Raymond, was arrested and charged with six counts of third-degree sex abuse for having multiple sexual relations with a 15-year-old male student.

As many as 20 people have died after drinking poisoned cologne in four cities in Saudi Arabia

Police arrest members of Islam Defenders Front for attack on Playboy Indonesia's office building.

I originally wrote this on Feb 9, 2006 when my blog was hosted on blogspot. Then I read this from Dan Simmons who had a frightful encounter with a visitor from our future.

We're here celebrating two men getting their buttons: Gerry Torciano (New York) and Burt Gervasi (New Jersey).

About a year ago, a mob of Seattle Central Community College students chased military recruiters off campus after a tense confrontation.

it was with no surprise when I went to google something after midnight this morning that I noticed google changed their marquee to:

The shmoo report asks one question of those who criticize Bush and the USA for this war and the defense of freedom: How else would you combat the Muslim threat represented by Osama Bin Laden?

As a public service here are a few headlines in the new Politically Correct Version and the corresponding translation into a language known as "truth".

My own personal preferences for a Sopranos plotline is power intrigues, whackings, extortions, sausage-grindings, mayhem, murder, and mob madness.

The word goyim in Hebrew means "nation" which has become a word for a gentile i.e. a non-Jew (other nations) From Yiddish. Although it can be a derogatory term it all depends on context. However, the word goy never takes on the meaning that infidel does in Islam.

Pardon the connection of oxen and immigrants. Nothing disparaging intended. In Deuteronomy 25:4 we are instructed: "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn." A modern translation would be, "Do not forbid bakery employees from eating a donut when they are baking."

I have posted a number of articles warning the world against the threat of Islam. A rational person whose mental tools are logic and reason would, at first blush, view such a statement as coming from a racist asshole. Certainly one should not paint an entire religion with the terrorist brush for the actions of a very small number of extremists.

That's right, before 9/11 9.3% left active duty and now, at the very height of the most fierce fighting in Iraq there are fewer, only 8.6%, leaving. If the NY Times was not so blinded by hatred of George Bush the headline should have ran, "Young Officers Leaving Army at a lower rate than before 9/11". But that would have been a positive headline, eh?

Even though Playboy Indonesia is milder than most magazines already available in the city, Muslim militants (redundant) today attacked Playboy's new Editorial Offices in the Indonesian Capital of Jakarta.

The French have announced that in conjunction of their most recent surrender the Arc de Triomphe is being renamed

There is nothing more insidious than candles. Excluding Islamic immigrants, of course. Candle usage in the United States has skyrocketed over the last 20 years and candle manufacturing is now a $2 billion industry.

This season, Vito has hung around the hospital while Tony Soprano was recovering from a gunshot wound, trying to ingratiate himself with Tony's wife while plotting with Paulie Walnuts to grab her cut of a big score.

Everyone has an opinion on which Sopranos episode Jumped the Shark. Episode 67, "Join the Club" has to be high up on everyone's list.

There are two proposed bills in the State of New Jersey. The first bill is sponsored by idiot Assemblyman Peter J. Biondi, while the second is sponsored by morons Wilfredo Caraballo and Upendra J. Chivukula. Although sponsored by different assholes, the two bills share much in common.

Yes, it is impossible to breathe under Sharia Law. When Muslim women are asked if they like wearing the veil, they normally answer that they do; that they enjoy the modesty it offers. However this is usually the answer when you ask the question in a jurisdiction under which they can be stoned for questioning Sharia or any aspect of Islamic teachings.

The problem of "honor killings” is not a problem of morality or of ensuring that women maintain their own personal virtue; rather, it is a problem of domination, power and hatred of women who, in these instances, are viewed as nothing more than servants to the family, both physically and symbolically.

To understand other cultures one needs only to read their book of virtues. Here are some "wise old Islamic sayings" by an imam who is sort of the William Bennett of the Islamic world.

Tony could have lived a life as in the dream but he lived as a mobster because that was what he thought he was.

The teachers of a German college, the Rütli-Hauptschule in the Berlin borough of Neukölln, have asked the authorities to close down their school.

On Wednesday of this coming week, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06

Now comes Episode 69, "The Fleshy Part of the Thigh" and it is so rich a meal it's almost impossible to enjoy all of it in one sitting.

My own take on this is that one should make certain that one's body armor is not too heavy.

Here is what Islam is really all about, April 1st or not

Children should be spoiled and loved.

It's not Islamophobia when there really is something to fear.
