Last two days were fairly serious. I’m all out of serious and so you will have a Psychotic Friday posting.
Mrs. Peel was my Muse. She got the ball rolling and combined with having a relatively clear head from less opiates (just a wee bit and muscle relaxants) I was able to think complete chains of thought.
Oh yeah! Clarity, I treasure thee!

Have you had a day like this recently? Me, too.

Absolute Moral Authority has a fun jab a Globular Worming.

Huh. That’s different. Got a mention in Tailrank.com. Don’t know whether that’s something that just happens at random to everyone (like getting food poisoning) or whether that is something cool. Well, it sure ain’t like Michelle Malkin stopped by. I’d probably glow for a week. 🙂

Found this parody of the Last Supper
Probably heretical, but I’ll take the chance. It’s funny. There’s lots more at that site.

Looks like the G8 has proven that they are just a bunch of limp tools, as they can’t even do something stupid with anything approaching convicted authority. Man, I wish someone could get through to them that the issue is far from a “done deal”. Gobular Worming is still open for debate if it isn’t already dead.
Our leaders are in carbon-cloud cuckoo land
By Christopher Booker
Last Updated: 12:01am BST 10/07/2008For a perfect example of what is meant by “gesture politics” – an empty pledge given solely for effect, which the politician has no hope of honouring – one could not do better than this week’s commitment by the G8 leaders on how they want us to fight climate change.
Sitting on their cloud-wreathed Japanese mountain top, they solemnly agreed that, to halt global warming, their countries would aim by 2050 to halve their emissions of carbon dioxide.
A tiny indication of the fact that they didn’t really have a clue what they were talking about was a slip by Japan’s prime minister, Yasuo Fukuda, when he had to be corrected for announcing that the CO2 cut would be measured from “1990 levels”.
Even when he amended this to “present-day levels”, he was merely spouting empty words into the oriental air.

Can people really be so thin skinned that they read insult into anything, including things that have nothing to do with them? Yep. I don’t see this as a racial issue. I see this as an issue where someone feels the need for attention and to beat someone they don’t like over the head with ridiculous accusations.
Texas County Official Sees Race in Term ‘Black Hole’
DALLAS — What do “black hole,” “angel food cake,” and “devil’s food cake” have in common?
They’re all racist terms, says a Dallas County, Texas, official.
A county commissioners’ meeting this week over traffic tickets turned into a tense discussion over race when one commissioner said the county’s collections office was like a certain astronomical phenomenon.
“It sounds like Central Collections has become a black hole,” Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said during the Monday meeting.
One black official demanded an apology, and Commissioner John Wiley Price, who also is black, said that type of language is unacceptable.
At the meeting, Mayfield said he intended his comments to be taken in the context of the scientific meaning, and became upset that he was being misunderstood.
In astronomy, the term black hole refers to a star that has collapsed upon itself, creating something so dense and small that it does not have any physical properties besides a gravitational force so great that even light cannot escape its pull.
Later, Price told MyFOXdfw.com that he believed it and other terms were racist.
“So if it’s ‘angel food cake,’ it’s white. If it’s ‘devil’s food cake,’ it’s black. If you’re the ‘black sheep of the family,’ then you gotta be bad, you know. ‘White sheep,’ you’re okay. You know?” Price said.
Price said people should watch their words when it comes to stereotypes. [More…]
I’m having a hard time believing that these gripes are really the most pressing thing on this his mind and really going to be taken seriously by anyone. In particular the gentleman he is accusing said “he intended his comments to be taken in the context of the scientific meaning”. That is the ONLY meaning of the term “black hole”… unless of course, you are uneducated and spoiling for something to gripe about. Civil rights workers died for far more important issues than this guy is quibbling about.

I am 100% absolutely reasonably somewhat convinced that you might care to lackadasically consider being interested in such a thing as a Thing in a Jar.
I have absolutely zero idea why I included that in this post.
Thanks for the update! (I did read it earlier – just haven’t actually sat down at my computer until now. And now it is bedtime.) I’m glad I could play Muse to someone…and now I just need to figure out how to do it for myself…
What is weird is that I really started the Chronicles for myself, as a way to keep it all straight in my head. After a while I realized that I was having fun with it. Perhaps too much fun with it.
Surprisingly, it is the third-highest most visited page or post. My neurotic assumption is that I’m loathsome enough that folks enjoy reading about me in pain. (My martyr-victim quotient is high today and I’m on a slightly manic roll).
Pick something you are passionate about, Mrs. Peel, and plunge into the absurd. You can make getting a bowl of cereal in the morning an adventure in the circus of your mind.
I just realized that I am exhausted and want to go to bed. Have a great one, Mrs. P.
Perhaps the self-appointed Gods at the G8, do have a plan for cutting Co2 in half…..Who exhales Co2? Who do the greenies think is a blight upon the earth? Who sits on their hands while headchoppers/despots around the globe are extinguishing fellow exhalers, whilst bashing the US for wanting to do something about genocidal maniacs and islaminazis? Who looks the other way when Imanutjob threatens mass death upon Israel (and tough shit for anyone else living near by)? Huh?
Just saying…
I sense… emotion… frustration… disgust. Big disturbance in the Force today pnb.
I refuse to debate the hows of the matter with the eco-terrorists until they come back to the table and debate the validity of their hysteria. That debate is not over and it’s not a done deal.
In typical tree-hugger fashion, they have chosen to make a claim, throw some numbers, and a lot of emotionalism as well as self-righteous fury and generally beat down and cow anyone who would offer a dissenting viewpoint. I actually had my oldest sister pull this move on me a few years ago. I was mostly shocked at her anger.
She’s going to be shocked if she tries that again.
Two Christmas’s ago, I had the rage of my moonbat brother directed at me for telling him he was f*cking nuts. Had my husband not been there, I have no doubt the night would have ended with me pressing assault charges against him.
My brother has a serious case of BDS and after trying the entire evening to convince my husband that the Holocaust was not that bad because more people died of disease than ‘gas’, that the government was behind 9/11, that our military is a bunch of baby killers, and that I was a fool if I supported my son if he ever decided to join the military……I had had enough. Told him he was nuts. The look on his face as his head spun in my direction and called me a ‘fucking bitch’ was venomous. Definitely an angry unibomber mentality behind those crazy eyes. Had I been a bigger girl or his brother, I would have knocked his lights out and he would have pissed his diaper.
I am sad, frustrated, and disgusted today. Sad over Tony Snow. He really was a good man.
Frustrated and disgusted over other news…such as…

The sheeple continue to sleep as Soros takes over their country
and…
Money, money, money

Jeez, pnb… I’m like… stunned. As angry as you probably were, that’s where it gets spooky.
Frankly, I worry that my oldest sister would certainly get verbally abusive if told that her views are neither universally accepted nor appreciated.
I heard about Tony Snow and was completely disgusted that the Yahoo obit/opinion piece was done the way it was. Last time I ever link anything of theirs. The shits. It was a surprise to me because I thought he was doing ok.
The sad thing about the Soros agenda is that it seeks to advance the cause that leaves people dependent on the proponents (of the cause). By the very definition of a conservative agenda it seeks to make people self-reliant and foster things that strengthen capitalism. Isn’t it odd that a man who made his fortune taking advantage of capitalism seeks to deconstruct it into a socialist system that utilizes his now-powerful companies?
Yeah, when his already crazy mask fell a little lower, exposing the angry barely tethered rage, I walked away. He wasn’t worth it. It wasn’t until we got home that I found out upon arriving at my mom’s, he had confronted my son (who has only seen him about four times his entire life) with a sneer and said, “When are you going to say ‘Hi’ to me”. Um, hey freak, you are the adult, he doesn’t know you, why don’t you say hello first? Considering how he treated my son and Downs brother when they were small, he is lucky I did not find out until later.
I thought the same about Snow too. Last I heard he was doing better. He was a regular nice guy with such a positive force. I hope he didn’t suffer.
As far as Soros, he is evil pure and simple. I guess he is getting bored just making/taking all of that money. He now has to see how much power and how many people he can buy with it. Perhaps the world? It’s all about the power.
[…] Well, certain racists in Texas might call ‘em “Black Holes” but that’s just a nasty slur like in an earlier post of mine (scroll down in that post for the Texas county official fighting the good fight). We don’t […]
