STAY DOWN!

Damn.  Moto Proprio yesterday, this today.  I’m buying me a Powerball ticket this evening.

I love this quote:

 Opponents of the bill — Republican Sens. Pete Sessions of Alabama, who had been a frequent guest on the radio circuit, and Jim DeMint of South Carolina — remarked on the Senate floor that the sergeant-at-arms’ office told them that the volume of calls leading up to the immigration vote was so high it had crashed the phone system, and no one was able to get through during morning debate.

Best news I have had this month.

…for President, and a mean girl is picking on you, what do you do?

Why, you send your wife out to tell her to stop being such a big bully.

Excuse me.  Make that “Send your wife WHO HAS INCURABLE AND INOPERABLE CANCER.”

Mheh.  Real icon of rugged masculinity he is.  If it wouldn’t be so pathetic, it’d be a hoot to see him deal with someone like the nut in Iran, Ahmadingojackal, or whatever his name is.

Go get a manicure, John.  It always seems to unstress my sister in law.   Maybe get your hair frosted.  I’d buy, but I’ve seen the bill for your stylist.

The Latin Mass is BACK.

Motu proprio coming July 7

Vatican, Jun. 27, 2007 (Kath.net/CWNews.com) - The long-awaited motu proprio in which Pope Benedict XVI (bio - news) liberalizes access to the traditional Latin Mass will be released on July 7, according to the German-language Kath.net news service.

Kath.net reports that Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone (bio - news), the Vatican Secretary of State, introduced the text of the motu proprio to a group of 30 bishops at the Vatican on June 27. Pope Benedict made a brief appearance at the meeting, the Kath.net story indicates.

The June 27 meeting drew bishops from all around the world, who had been invited to the Vatican for an advance briefing on the papal document. Pope Benedict has taken special pains to ensure that the world’s bishops are well prepared for the motu proprio, hoping to minimize opposition to the move.

For my “progressive” dissident Catholics who told me to give it up…

Just smoking my cigar, and enjoying me some bourbon.  It’s five o’clock somewhere.

Imagine if you will, a conservative churchman using his pulpit (Real or Virtual) to agitate for the ouster of, say, Hillary Clinton.

How long do you think this would stand?

So where do we get shit like this?

Having a lead foot makes your dick shrink, eh?

The shaming language trick.

Imagine, for a moment, a commercial having men make gagging noises at female speeders, because obviously, having a lead foot makes your vagina smell bad.  You’d have feminists all over it.  Yet, the “We’re for equality for all” crowd is notable for their silence, or their “praising with faint damns” as is usual on this.

Be nice to see actions follow words for once.  And keeping in mind the philosophy of “any apology with the word “but” in it is not an apology,” it’d be nice to see them come out with an uncategorical condemnation of it.

Not holding my breath, though.

Am I reading this right?

“”The West is accusing Muslims of extremism and terrorism. If someone exploded a bomb on his body he would be right to do so unless the British government apologizes and withdraws the ’sir’ title,” ul-Haq said”

Let me get this straight - he’s saying “The west accuses us of being violent, and unless they apologize we will be violent.”

And liberals insist these people can be reasoned with?  And this is Pakistan - one of the moderate ones.  A government minister.  Of a nuclear capable nation.

Is it a full moon or something?  All the nutjobs are coming out of the woodwrok.

Episcopal Church Appoints First Openly-Muslim Bishop
by Scott Ott

(2003-08-04) — Bishops in the Episcopal Church today approved the election of the first openly-Muslim bishop in the church’s history.

The Islamic cleric, who rejects the deity of Jesus Christ, received an overwhelming majority of the vote.

A spokesman for the Episcopal Church said the move demonstrates, “Our church is open to all people, regardless of their beliefs, or whether they accept the teachings of the Bible.”

The election of the Muslim bishop comes as the church stands ready to approve its first homosexual Bishop, V. Gene Robinson. Later today, the bishops plan to vote on the election of the church’s first openly-atheist bishop.

Reality: June 17, 2007

Sometimes this stuff writes itself. In this case it does its own commenting too. This keeps up, and I can retire.

Nifong’s future is “dim.”

Expecting sympathy from me? I have a dictionary - I suggest you look between “shit” and “syphilis” to find it.

This bastard has shown zero remorse (except a pathetic attempt to cover his sorry ass), and I can think of no situation which it would more appropriate or more richly deserved to pile on. No mercy. No quarter. I can only hope he hold out a while so he can suffer, and I hope it goes dark from him putting a bullet into his own brain-bucket, so he lands in Hell.

Someone sound Èl Degüello.

The Guest Blogger at Feminista writes:

The first thing we’d do is get a legal agreement drawn up making the nature of the relationship clear: I’d relinquish any parental rights over the child, and Jenny and Beth would give up any rights to child support.

Wrong in so many ways….

First off:  As far as any man goes who would make a child, and then walk away from it in any respect … Turn in your testicles, sir.  They are hereby revoked.

Second off … you think so?  In the U.S.? *snort* *chuckle* *guffaw* Okay, whatever you say.  Yep - anywhere they have been presented, the courts have said “That’s the child’s right, the parents can’t terminate it.”  But it will be different for you.

My first impulse was the reach through the screen to this guy,, shake him, and say “Whassamatta?  You STUPID or what?”  But on reflection….

Please do.

Seriously - every one of you self loathing sacks of shit who are hell bent on conspiring with women who want to prove you and make you legally obsolete - go for it.  Because sooner or later there is going to be one of the lezzies dying.  Or a nasty breakup, or one needing welfare, and then rather than pay money, the Federal Government is going to tell her “Name the Dad first” and they they are going to come hunt you down.  And they will stick it to you.  You will have Jenny or Beth on your door saying, “I’m sorry buit I have no choice” (Because it will be either you or them) and it won’t matter if you are married with 5 kids.  Kiss a third of your income - in some places BEFORE taxes - buh-bye.

Hopefully enough of you will wind up as a terrible warning to bring that shit to a screeching halt.  And make a few MRA’s out of some ex-manginas. (They are always the most zealous…)  You know what they say - a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged.
Roy, Roy, Roy - these two want you for a safety net, just in case, so they have a fallback position.  And the fact that you’re cheaper than a sperm bank is a bonus too.

Have at it, Pollyanna.  You go right ahead.

From one to another.

You don’t get the credit for the good you do.

..But let’s fisk ol’ Amanda Marcotte, proud and self-professed cum-guzzler with a drinking problem.

I know the Governator didn’t quite mean to encourage the idea that knowing two languages somehow makes you stupider than knowing one, but that’s the impression he left with his speech before a convention of Hispanic journalists.

Amanda, you ignorant slut. (I’ve been wanting to say that since the seventies. Hee hee.)

Try to follow, dearie.  Arnie is speaking to a group about how best to help people who already speak Spanish (One Language)  learn to speak English (Second Language).

Already with the strawman, and it ain’t even a clever one.  My eight year old neice caught it right off the bat (”Uncle Gonz, isn’t Spanish and English two languages?” “Yes, baby girl.” “Then why is she saying that he only wants people to speak one?” “Because she’s lying dear.  It’s what liberals do.”).

Oh well.  She goes to a Christofascist Godbag school, so she’s a little ahead of you.

As Marc notes, there are few things more endearing than having a speaker at your professional convention slam your profession, and quite a few of the attendees work for Spanish-language media.

Hmmm.  So those would be people, who, if Spanish speaking people could ALSO speak English, might not have a ready made market, and have to compete?

Gotcha.

But more to the point, Schwarzenegger—who hasn’t managed to shake his own Austrian accent well enough for the standards he lays out—

Isn’t making fun of someone’s accent politically incorrect?  Even though he speaks English well enough to get elected as governor TWICE? And have a movie career?

Wait - Arnie’s a White Republican Christian male, so the other side of the double standard falls on him.  My Bad.  I forgot Rosie “Ching-chang-chong-wong-dong” O’Donnell said so.

doesn’t really go to much effort to hide his hostility towards the idea that Mexican-Americans might cherish bilingualism.

Once more from the top, Mandy.  Speaking Spanish only:  Monolingual.  Speaking Spanish AND English: Bilingual.

Keep practicing.  You’ll get it one day.  I have faith in you.

No one disputes the idea that children of immigrants would do well to learn English,

Could have fooled me.

but anyone with a modicum of education in how language acquistion

And anyone with a modicum of education in LANGUAGE alone will know it is spelled “Acquisition.

works will know that children who speak English in school will learn it.

And if you speak it at school and home you learn it FASTER.

In fact, it strikes me as a distinct advantage to have English in school and Spanish at home, so you grow up bilingual. But by the Governator’s own measure, there’s something unseemly about using two languages frequently enough to be properly bilingual.

Hmmm.  Baker, C. (1993). Foundations of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism. Clevedon: Multilingual Matters:

• Early immersion students lag behind their monolingual peers in literacy (reading, spelling, and punctuation) for the first few years only. However, after the first few years, the immersion students catch up with their peers.
• Immersion programs have no negative effects on spoken skills in the first language.
• Early immersion students acquire almost-native-like proficiency in passive skills’ (listening and reading) comprehension of the second language by the age of 11.
• Early immersion students are more successful in listening and reading proficiency than partial and late immersion students.
• Immersion programs have no negative effects on the cognitive development of the students.
• Monolingual peers perform better in sciences and math at an early age, however immersion students eventually catch up with, and in some cases, outperform their monolingual peers.

Helps to actually know what you are talking about, Amanda.  That way you don’t look stupid.

I wish I could chalk up our national inability to grasp that it’s a good thing to know more than one language

Spanish, one; English, two … oh, hell. We’ve been over this.   Keep practicing.

to the simple fact of geography—we’re bigger than any European country, so linguistic diversity seems less compelling. But it’s more than that, and Schwarzenegger’s attitude here points to it. We’re actively hostile to bilingualism.

But, see, again .. Arnie, who has actually had to learn a second language is trying to tell them how to best be Bi-Lingual…

….You really just don’t WANT to get that, do ya, toots?

I grew up on the border between Texas and Mexico and was raised by a family with many bilingual members and I can’t speak Spanish, because no one ever prioritized the acquisition of other languages.

No Kidding?  Never learned it because nobody made it a priority?

Like - oh, I don’t know - IMMERSING you in it, and making you speak it whenever possible, instead of letting you use English as a crutch?  That kind of priority?

Do tell.

Now, there’s no doubt that I look like a pinche guera, but it would be nice not to be so utterly and stupidly the complete pinche guera package.

But you have no problem with the Mexican kids looking like a little damn wetback, complete with the pidgen english?

And the Governator would do well not to discourage the great importance of teaching kids to speak many languages,

Okay, one last time.  I haven’t given up on you yet, sugar-doodle.  They speak Spanish now (That’s one.  “1″  Uno.).  If they learn English, that’s TWO.  (”2″  Dos.)  If they have that by junior high - via immersion - they could take another - that’s three.  (Tres.)  You know.  French.  German.  Might even be able to pick up a Fourth (quatro) in High School.

Three might qualify as many.  I’m pretty sure four would.  (People were very impressed with the Pope’s ability to speak seven, but then again, he had the advantage of that whoile Christofascist Godbag Education thing). In any case, I am sure it’s more than even two, or just one and some pidgen of another.

I suppose I could be wrong, but I don’t think so.

Gee - math *IS* hard, isn’t it, Barbie?

if only to preserve the pleasure of having conversations that stupid Republican-voting, Mexican-hating assholes can’t understand when they eavesdrop in public.

You’re not suggesting that Mexicans Illegal Aliens actually do that, are you Amanda?  I mean, seriously, most civilized people find that to be both rude and sneaky.  You aren’t saying they are being rude and sneaky?

Are you?

Ring the bell, baby. Ding, dong, the witch is …..

Well, melting, smoking, and screaming. It’s a start, though.

Let’s get something straight here, from the outset. The DA who took over from Nifong in the prosecution persecution of Dave Evans, Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty concluded the three players were “innocent victims” of a rogue prosecutor’s “tragic rush to accuse.”

Innocent.

Not merely “Not Guilty.” Not “Unproven”

Innocent.

He - and his office, after a substantial investigation and review also concluded that as far as Crystal Gayle Mangum is concerned, nothing ever happened. Which means she did not “misindentify” anyone. Nothing happened to indentify. She made it up.

She lied.

She is a False Accuser.

She is a LIAR. She LIED ABOUT RAPE.

So - women do indeed lie about rape. And what we know right know is that anyone who says different is either (A) An Idiot, or (B) Lying for purposes of political posturing, out of hatred for men.

(NOTE FOR IDIOTS: What is the difference between these two sentences?

1. Women lie about rape.
2. ALL women lie about rape.

Please don’t mischaracterize me as saying the second if you are going to mendaciously cavil with me.)

Or both, actually. Burying your head in the sand about it is both stupid and intellectually dishonest.

There is no explaining this away. There is no rationalizing this, or denying it. This has been a high profile case, and has blown up in the faces of Nifong, and the Feminist Inquisition. Everyone sees it, and everyone sees them all standing their with egg on their face. It’s an embarassment for them.

Point and laugh.

Everyone wanted to make it not only about sex, but the race warlords and the class envy bigots jumped on the bandwagon too. This means that the Emperor, The Empress, and the Emperors’s Mistress all have no clothes.

Had Evans, Finnerty, and Seligmann not been “rich,” however, they’d have been crucified. Had they been poor black men, they’d have gotten an overworked Public Defender, and probably waiting to have their appeals heard while they rotted in jail.

This is what happens, of course, when you allow Star Chambers and Drumhead Trials to start. And this has been what this has been. Woman makes a claim. Press gets hold of it. Prosecutor starts to chest beat and posture. No evidence - well, unless you count the EXCULPATORY evidence that was concealed from the defense. But still it moves ahead. Women don’t lie. A claim is as good as proof.

This is exactly what has happened, undeniably. No proof. A claim. What we always have said, and always has been pooh-poohed as “Never happens.” Well, there is no covering this up. No moving this to the back pages of the paper. No paying off the victim with a agreement not to talk about it. Evans, Finnerty, and Seligmann aren’t going to let you. In your zeal to “nail ya a rich white boy” you have officially messed with the wrong people.

And you had better believe trhat the next time someone walks into a police station with nary but a sob-story, a voice is going to whisper in people’s heads “CRYSTAL GAYLE MANGUM.” And every step of the way, before someone moves ahead, that same voice is going to say, “MIKE NIFONG.”

And yes, this is a good thing. This is just, right and fair. Because this is the way the justice system is supposed to work. Before one proves guilt, one must establish a crime occurred. I couldn’t so much as claim someone broke into my truck to steal CD’s without establishing I had CD’s to steal, and without showing the marks where they broke in at. This is because without that, I could just go in and make an accusation against anyone who pissed me off.

We instituted this because it used to be that there was held to be an innate and intrrinsic virtue to nobility, and that they wouldn’t lie - so we held their word as good as proof. They abused it. White people under reconstruction were held to be of intrinsic and innate integrity, so their words were taken when they accused black people. Whites abused that. We did away with it.

Feminists - your house is next. Time to surrender some of that power and privilege you talk about all the time. Time to step down off of Mount Olympus and join the rest of us mere mortals here in Midgard. (Yeah, I am mixing my mythology. Sue me.)

Our work is not done, Gents.

Crystal Gayle Mangum.

Mike Nifong.

Remember Durham.

Never again the witch hunts.

Well, it looks like I struck a nerve with some little twit when I was Cruising around the other day. You know what they say - you only draw flak when you are over the target.

Widdle Taylor posted a list of her “Husband Requirements” att Vox Day’s joint. Well, I’ll just put them here, it’s a 300+ comment thread:

1. Self-confident but not arrogant
2. Wise
3. More intelligent than me
4. Worldly
5. Handsome
6. Strong
7. Successful
8. Brave
9. Christian
10. Emotionally a rock
11. Witty
12. Athletic
13. Adventuresome
14. Gregarious
15. Loyal

That’s all. :·)

Know what problems I have with lists? Women like this who tend to issue them always seem to be indignant when men have their own lists. Let a man say, “Hey, any woman I want should be … ” and they get their ass on their shoulders about how “shallow” such men are. The ol’ “I’m having sex with you, that should be all you need!”

Now this Taylor witch does print a rather nasty response I gave her later, and in a typical fit of intellectual dishonesty, “forgets” some of the lead up. Like my initial response:

I’d say I am all of the above - and you forgot to add “Single and available” - (No, it doesn’t go without saying, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.)

Now, the only question is “What do you bring to the table that I’d want to date and marry you alone?”

Do you have anything to offer - BESIDES sex? I can get sex. Good sex. Anywhere.

If you can’t answer that, I’d make two suggestions: (1) Lower your standards, or (2) Get some cats.

And her response…

I also did not list: straight, born male, healthy, non-pencil dick, fertile, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks. I can see you’re quite a charmer as well. It’s hard to believe that such a catch as yourself is still available.

“Short dick and can’t get laid” would have been a better economy of words, little girl. But I’m sure that attempting the big words to hide the vacuity of your position makes you feel better.

And of course (Just track to her, then Vox’s, then the comments) later assumption that I am trying to hook up with her. Absolutely, Taylor. I have nothing better to do than try to hit on useless twats on the internet. It’s all about you. The word we’re looking for is “Strawman.”

Of course, since I’m of such little consequence, she dedicates a whole post to me and looks for a little video to show just how little thought she gave me. But she, obviously, is the one  who “hit a nerve.” (And while the video is funny, if you track it back to YouTube, I can’t claim credit for it. That guy is a French Canadian. But obviously an intellegent one, as he quotes me.)

Which she did (hit a nerve), though not the one she thinks - the nerve is the prissy sense of entitlement most women feel anymore to be the dictator of the terms of a relationship, and how pissed off they get if a man dares to try to be an equal partner in it, or (HORRORS!) has his own expectations besides basking in her presence. Not to mention the sheer hubris of believing that even if he has any such requirements, she fits, because being a woman and all….

Then she goes on in the usual “Chivalry is dead, no knight in shining armor stood up to defend me, blah, blah, blah” crap. So much for strong and independant women.

Thing is, first, when you post anything - ANYTHING - to a discussion board, as a blog post, comment, or whatever - you are, by default, opening yourself up to both questioning and criticism of it. To insist otherwise is childish, petulant, and bitchy. Every day - every time - I post, no matter here, there, or everywhere, I takes my lumps. They key to that is not posting anythning you can’t defend, and if called on it, having the maturity to defend it.

I’m not going to pretend - for a moment - to be a nice guy, but my initial post, while justifiable snarky, had yet to personally attack her, but attack the whole notion of women who had lists, but had nothing to offer of their own. Well, besides sex. Imagine, foir a second, had her response been anything besides “You probably have a short dick and can’t get laid!” Perhaps….

“Well, Gonzman, I am an educated woman. While I only have a generic liberal arts degree, I am well-read and can converse on a variety of subjects including politics and philosophy. My politics are ____________, so I’d not want anyone too different to avoid unpleasant arguments. While I do believe a man should be the provider, in exchange for this I’d agree that keeping and managing the house, while keeping my husband informed, would be my job and I wouldn’t be one of those whiney shrews who demands that after doing his share, he come home and do “his half” of my share. I cook three cuisines, and love to do so, and I do have the potential of havbing a part time income working from home to help with the bills. Oh, and I love to garden - you can guarantee in the summer our produce bills would be cut in half. “

By Jesus, there is a woman who brings something to the table. Instead, Taylor proves my point, namely, that too many women have been brought up with an unwarranted sense of entitlement, that all they have to do is show up, and their part is done; and to suggest that a man is entitled to have his own list - and that a woman might not possibly measure up to it - is somehow hatefuil, and misogynistic. The ol’ double standard. Man might be a loser who just doesn’t measure up. Woman might just not be “compatible.” Because, yanno, having a pussy is all any man needs.

She repeats herself, though:

I am no psychologist, but I am guessing that my list offended these men, knowing that they could never live up to that list. They felt rejected. Poor wittle babies. Did I bwuise your wittle feelings? Evidently.

Projection much, Taylor?

It never ceases to amaze me how many women think they are entitled to have all these requirements for men, but get all huffy at the whole notion that men might have requirements of them - and they are dismissed as “Yeah, you just want a skinny slut with big tits.”

The other thing with these types of “Dear Diary” lists that women just don’t THINK about is that the the more requirements you have, the tighter that pool gets. If I want a female human over 18, White, Asian, or Amerindian, of sound enough mind to have graduated high school, and single - I have a big pool. It’s realistic. The more qualifications I enter, the narrower the field might get. And this is obvious. And I - or anyone else - is entitled to do that, to add as much to it as they want.

But if I add so many qualifications to it that the nearest one is in Kansas Citry, and I’m not willing to travel there to meet her - well, it’d be a little disingenuous of me to start bitching about women. And were the Gonzman the marrying type this might well be the case. (Well, in fact it is, but I’m not going to bother which such a tedious list) Thing is, I’m realistic enough to understand that I’ve qualified myself out of the market and have decided to look for something else.

And I may have many issues with modern femininity, but the idea that it is the fault of women that I don’t get married is beyond laughable. I don’t because it’s my choice, because my standards, after a collection of divorces, are far too high. And I’ve said before - any woman who would be decent enough for me to marry would have long since passed the point of deserving to put up with me.

I have many sterling qualities. “Easy to live with,” “patient,” “diplomatic” and “amenable to compromise” are NOT among them. These are kind of required for a successful marriage, and as I have learned through experience that I’m satisfied with myself that way, and don’t particularly wish to modify my behavior or attitudes, and find it more important to me, I’ve faced my priorities and organized my life to reflect it.

And if more people would do this the world would be a happier fuckin’ place.

Thing is, though - saying “Gonz, you ought to be more open to compromise” is a valid criticism. Why? Because I have posted it here. Saying, “Gonz, you have children, and yet you wouldn’t marry a woman who had them - bit hypocritical, eh?” is a valid question. Which I would answer “That’s `minor children’ and because I learned what a mistake that was.” I am of the opinion that bisexual women are alright to have sex with, but you’re an idiot to enter into a long term relationship. This is open to challenge. (And make no mistake, I will debate you on it till the cows come home, and insist I am right, and you are an idiot if you disagree.) If I don’t want to discuss something, I don’t bring it up. That onus is on me. If you bring it up, I walk away.

I don’t, however, insist that any observation I make should be free from comment or criticism, nor do I get up in arms when someone fails to jump up in my defense. That would make me both pusillanimous and a pussy.

Taylor needs to put on the big girl panties, methinks, and suck it up.

The Hippy Chicks at Feministing are at it again.

Now you can see them applauding a sentence whereby a judge in Canuckistan put a guy on probation for three years and added he was not allowed to have a girlfriend.

Bravo, you insipid twits. Pity in all you wasted education you never learned the concept of “precedent.” Or didn’t take the lesson from California, where you man-hating twats shut down the men’s clubs - and now they are suing YOUR clubs. And it’ll be the same pissing and whining and moaning about how “mean” and “unfair” it is, and demanding to know “Where do they get off? Where do they get the right?”

I’ll save my time answering it then by doing it now: Look in the mirror, you goddamn bonehead. YOU gave them that power.

Oh well, I guess since it was a “Dead White Male” who said “Those who trade their liberty for a little temporary security soon wind up with neither” that it doesn’t apply to you. Must be your magic ring of “Post Modernist Deconstruction an d Protection from universal Truths” that will change it.

Vox Day is proven right again.

“I’m Dad.  Not the Assistant Mother.”

FUCK.

YES!

Engrave this on stone and place it on your desk, Gentlemen.

I am linking directly to the following article, and will repost it here:

Woman dies of a perforated bowel in a hospital as care is not given

Emergency room workers and 911 operators refused to help a women at Martin Luther King Junior-Harbor hospital leaving her to die of a perforated bowel.

A woman who lay bleeding on the emergency room floor of a troubled inner-city hospital died after 911 dispatchers refused to contact paramedics or an ambulance to take her to another facility, newly released tapes of the emergency calls reveal.

Edith Isabel Rodriguez, 43, died of a perforated bowel on May 9 at Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital. Her death was ruled accidental by the Los Angeles County coroner’s office.

Relatives said Rodriguez was bleeding from the mouth and writhing in pain for 45 minutes while she was at a hospital waiting area. Experts have said she could have survived had she been treated early enough.

Now, this is horrifying on several levels.  But we’re not done.  Let’s now read the editorial comment.

The kicker is that instead of demanding she be treated, the cops arrested her on a parole violation. The hospital and the cops are going to catch hell for this, and rightly so, but it’s the system that needs the most condemnation. We need to take the profit motive out of the health care system. There are some things that are too important to leave to the tender mercies of the “free-market” system: energy, water, and health care are three of them.

Okay, let’s stop and think why I am labelling this “Idiot of the month.”  Anyone?

Okay - No, the real kicker is, El Stupido, that Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital is a PUBLIC FUCKING HOSPITAL!!

This fucking IS what happens when “Da Gubbmint” runs shit.  Quick:  What do the nurses, the police, and the 911 dispatchers all have in common?

All public - government - employees!

And guess what?  An investigation into this mess has ruled this death “accidental.”

Gee.

Wotta fuckin’ shock.

The Government investigating team has ruled that this woman - who died writhing and screaming in agony in a public hospital, who was treated rudely, whose callers, including her husband, were treated rudely, who was given the ol’ treat and street routine, who was arrested as she died, who was bleeding at the mouth - died “accidentally.”  I guess that is the new term for “Negligent Homicide” when your government does it.

And DIPPYSHIT here, at “eMaxHealth” wants *ALL* of your medical care to enjoy the same sterling quality health care as Edith Isabel Rodriguez got.

Just like Hillary Hitlery Clinton, her Liberal Buddies, and the Democrat party does.And the same “Cover Your Ass” accountability.

Doesn’t it just give ya a warm feeling as you piss down your leg thinking about it? I hope it does - for me, that’s the only thing countering the chill running down my spine.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.  El Idiote, SALUTE!

…I can’t post coherently.

Just read this bullshit HERE. 

60 Days.

The bitch could do only sixty days.

SIXTY.  Fucking shoot your husband in the back.  While he’s sleeping.  Don’t call for help.  Pull the phone out of the wall so he can’t call for help for himself.  Drag your kids across the country.  And get SIXTY - 60 - days in jail.

Oh, excuse me, she could get a WEEK more in jail, then go to some Club Med mental health facility, then get out and get custody of the kids whose father SHE FUCKING MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD.

(Drumming Fingers.)

I swear to God, right now if I was dying of some fatal disease, I would prepare to pack my shit up, be there when she got out, and send her ass to Hell she so richly deserves to burn in for eternity.  I’d seriously be tempted.  Serious as a heart attack.  The only thing that stops me from giving in to it is that the piece of shit is not worth me being locked up for that long.

But I will hope that somehow, whoever it was in the universe that saw fit to give Jeffery Dahmer the full measure of justice smiles upon Mary Winkler’s children and removes that sick and poisonous and monstrous bitch from their lives.

They better hurry it the fuck up.  They only got sixty days to pull it off.

You know … sometimes it occurs to me that I might be too hard on the state of femininity in America these days.  Then something like this happens.  Then I say to myself, as I pour some scotch and light a cigar, “Gonzo, me bucko - this is why you are so wise in being a terminal bachelor.  This is why you even tell a lot of women you are married - in order to dodge that bullet.”

Or load of buckshot.  Because you never know who has a Mary Winkler hiding inside.

Ladies - you’re too damn dangerous to have around.  As long as I have targets like this painted on my back, I can’t afford that risk.  Until my life is worth more than a week in jailed based on an empty, specious, and unsupported allegation of “abuse”  (Yeah - stockings and a wig.  What an ogre.) I’m not going to place myself in a position where my next breath is dependant on your sufferance.

Dominico Bettinelli tells the story about how “Dignity,” the gay activist Catholic group, is going to be holding their own make-believe mass:

Dignity/NY, the LGBT Catholic group, will have a woman preside over its Gay Pride Mass for the first time on June 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Judson Memorial Church on Washington Square South. She is the Reverend Victoria Rue, a Roman Catholic womanpriest who was ordained by three Roman Catholic womenbishops in 2005.

Don’t quite have it right, Dom.  Try this:

Dignity/NY, the LGBT Catholic group, will have a woman preside over its Gay Pride Mass for the first time on June 23 at 7:30 p.m. at an unconsecrated Protestant facility on Washington Square South. She is the Reverend Victoria Rue, a formerly Roman Catholic womanpriestess who was ordained by three Roman Catholic excommunicated and self proclaimed womenbishops high preistesses in 2005.

True dat.  By gum, my most recent arrivals came in to this country just three generations ago.

Through Ellis Island.

Legally.

Your point?

I’m going to give you the highlights of a very unfunny joke.

A man is married for 8 years, and comes home one night to “the talk.” The one about the relationship, about the need for space, (I have a boyfriend, and it’s getting to hard to cover it up) – a lot of us know the drill. So, he agrees to move out “for a while” to “work on the relationship.”

Fast forward a couple months. Honeybunch is getting irritated at him “just dropping by” to spend time with his kids or pick them up (Again, read “How can I have my new thang over here when you might catch us and make me look bad?”) and after one marriage counseling session he’s hit with the double whammy. A divorce suit and – you guessed it – an ex-parte restraining order.

Let’s review real quick – go to my “Divorce Self-Defense 101” article from a few years back, and catalogue the errors that have been made.

Okay. One error you missed – because I didn’t tell you – is that Schmuckly here has yet – after almost 3 months! – to secure the services of an attorney. Let alone listen to said lawyer.

It’s at this point that Dingleberry gets himself drunk, tries to call her – Thank God she changed the phone number – and so he calls me to drive him over there. I manage to talk him out of it. I get him insensible, and in the morning when hung over and his resistance is low, I convince him to call an attorney. I convince him to part with the $2500 dollars he’s been saving for Sweetie-dumpling-who-has-just-backstabbed-me’s “real engagement ring.” She’s not going to need it or wear it.

This lawyer – from a prestigious law firm specializing in Men and Divorce – advises him that he has a hearing on the restraining order in three weeks, and to tough it out. After a couple days of interviewing people who knew them and the marriage, he informs him that he can get the TRO nullified, and get him mandated visitation – maybe even split custody in the interim. Just be patient.

This lasts 3 more days. So what does Dumbass do?

He buys two dozen roses, and goes to where she works. He asks to see her. He makes the receptionist deliver the flowers. He goes back into the private offices. He gets her to “agree” to “Not now – I’m at work. *I’LL CALL YOU* about lunch and we can talk…”

Dippysquat goes out to his car, starts it, and puts it in reverse about the time two police cars and a sheriff zoom in, and draw down on him. Of course, Cuddlebuns is standing behind the door of the office, looking stricken and fearful, being comforted, while the fat lesbian secretary is out waiving the restraining order at the officers. El Stupido is quickly slammed on the ground with a shotgun trained on him, cuffed and put in a paddy wagon.

I don’t think I need to break out the crayolas here, do I? No bail. No hearing till the next week. Of course he’s calling me and whining about “I need to get out!” – what the hell can I do? He CALLS HER WORK (Dammit!) collect from jail – THREE TIMES!!! And by the time he goes in front of a judge he’s given 30 days in jail. Which he does two weeks of for good behavior, including his time served. Needless to say, when he goes before the judge on the TRO, the once slam dunk nullification of it turns into a 1 year extension, and his visitation is now supervised.

But, hey – fugginay – he’s RIGHT. She’s WRONG. He didn’t do ANYTHING. He doesn’t deserve this. She lied. All true. Just as true as the pedestrian who walks out in front of the speeding truck because they have the “walk” light.

Absolutely right. Dead right.

So where is Senor Idiote today, four months later? He’s fired his attorney, because he didn’t like the advice. He’s become Mr. Chivalry, acceding to every demand “for his children.” (Though it seems that fighting to stay in their lives and BE A DAMN FATHER TO THEM doesn’t occur to him.) He’s lost his job – being in jail for two weeks does that. Given up his house. Had his car repossessed. Is paying $600 a month for supervised visitation he doesn’t go to - but Mr. Probono thinks he’ll get custody of the kids in the end “because he’s right, she’s a bitch, I didn’t do nuthin…” even though he doesn’t – oh, what is the term – BOTHER TO EVEN SEE THEM? It’s “just too humiliating.”

Oh – and he’s mad at me. I talked him into spending the money for the ring he still wants to get this bitch, so I’m a SOB who gave him bad advice. He didn’t follow it, got screwed doing it his way instead of mine, but it was bad advice. He’s a new MRA convert, though. All gung-ho about how unfair it all is. I expect I’ll see him on the net anytime – if he gets a job, a place to live, and his computer hooked up – talking about how “Gonzo gave me advice I ignored so he screwed up my life” which is the tune he’s been singing these past five or six months.

Yeah. I understand he’s a brother. He’s hurting. Been there.

He’s still as dumb as a bag of hair. Stupid. Just butt-stupid. Ever hear the joke about the preacher in the flood who turns away a guy in a truck, a boat, and a helicopter because “God Will Provide?” When he drowns and stands before the Lord, he asks, “What happened?” and God replies “Look, I sent you a truck, a boat, and a helicopter – what do you want?”

Yeah, I know. Blaming the victim. Yeah, I know. Co-operating with a corrupt system. I’ve heard it all. I’ve heard it from him – know what I told him?

“So how’s that whole not seeing your kids at all working for ya?”

Yes, Virginia, the system sucks. Until you replace it, it is what you have to work with. Drop out of it and not support it? Fine and dandy – but first you have to get to a place where it can’t touch you. Fight against it? Do it from within the system or outside of it. Hint: If you plan on working outside, buy lots of ammunition – it is the only way that will have any effect.

Hey – if you can snatch your kids away to some country which won’t extradite you, more power to you. Until you can do that, though, you’re kind of stuck. Not seeing your kids, and not being there for them – out of some sense of martyrdom – not real bright, if you ask me – but if your pride is more important than flesh of your flesh… Well, whatever.

But you are walking out on your kids then, and when the Femherroids make that charge on you, the shoe fits. You’re not helping. Joe Moron who added to the “Stalkers who violate TRO’s” stat? He doesn’t help either. Find a way to cut off your nose to spite your face that doesn’t ruin it for your brothers, what say?

I’m not on the side of shitheel men. Cheat on your wife, you’re just as wrong as an adulterous woman. Beat her? Beat your kids? Molest your kids? To hell with you. I may give a lot of men the benefit of the doubt because groundless charges are so frequently made, and I will preach to the ends of the earth that feminists way, way, way overstate the frequency of such things. This doesn’t mean such men don’t exist, and I am not going to “be like a feminist” and defend men who are like that. We laughed and sneered at the Feminazis in Dallas who stood up for Andrea Yates, the child-murderer so we need to be as accountable.

I’ve had a few guys who did crap like this and then come to me or write me. Well, what do you want? St. Gonz to intercede? I got real falsely accused men, real guys who have got the shaft for no reason, real guys willing to take guidance and get better than what they fear – I have time for you why? You did it? Suck it up and take your lumps. Ignored good advice? I tell you the same thing I’d tell a Britney Spears walking around in downtown Detroit in her pantiless miniskirtness: What do you expect, DUMBASS?

I am frankly appalled and flabbergasted at times by the blinkered and self-defeating attitude many men have. We have one guy running around who is constantly harping on the “Antipeonage Act.” Okay. I agree. It should apply. You know and I know that jailing men for child support is nothing less than debtor’s prison. Trouble is, the courts have rationalized and used legal and semantic masturbation to dismiss it. It is not going to work. They are not going to listen to you. They are going to say, “Doesn’t apply, you’re being jailed for contempt, not owing money” wham, bam. It has been argued. It has failed. Time to move on.

There is bias in the courts, and I am not going to say there isn’t. As men, we walk into family court at a disadvantage, and have an obstacle to overcome – in some places a small hop, in others a steep hill, and in some we are uckedfay. (Pig Latin).

But better than half our problems are attitude. Your biggest bias is in how the laws are set up, and in how you think.

As men, our nature is to protect – protect females, protect our young. Forget all the crap about “the female is deadlier than the male” or “lionesses and their cubs.” It’s crap, feel good, make the girl feel better bullshit. We see it over and over; feces hits the fan, women grab kids and run like scared rabbits, and Joe Dweeb the accountant grabs a stick and turns into Conan. It is built into you, hardwired, and reinforced by society.

No? Ask ya something, then. If a man broke a contract with you, and started proceedings to take your stuff, what would you do? Roll over? Or would you hire an attorney and rip his lungs out legally?

What I thought.

Somehow, get puddin-pop the contract breaker trying to steal your kids and your life’s work and savings, and you get all tender, and chivalrous, and say “Okay.” You’ll look like the bad guy. You don’t want to put your kids through it. You don’t want to drag the mother of your kids through it.

Well, why the hell not? She’s doing it to you. Lifetime TV is going to make a movie on how brave she is.

You’ve been schnooked. You’ve been painted into a corner where the only way you won’t “look bad” is to be a doormat and “Yes ma’am” her for the next 20 years. (And you may still look bad.) Any other move, and you’re a rat bastard.

So … be a bitch. It’s why she wins so often. She treats you like the enemy and goes into court to KICK YOUR ASS. Most men go in with some other purpose in mind.

Know what kind of men win? The ones who scream and leap for the throat. Who destroy not only her ability to wage war, but her will to do so.

No, you haven’t been taught to do this. No, you don’t have the “You GO, Grrrrrrrl!” chorus to support you. But guess what?

First time she loses a motion – well – that isn’t in the script.

Hardest thing for men – you need to beat you, first. You need to swallow your pride and get a lawyer – AND DO WHAT THEY SAY. You may have to hunt for a lawyer. The same one who will hint around that she should allege something false and horrible against you will suddenly find ethics if you are the client. You may have to interview a dozen before you find one who will go for the soft underbelly of her. I did in my second marriage.

You need to say no. No, I am not leaving the house – YOU leave. No, you are not taking the kids. No, you are not taking our furniture.

You have to be aware you are now under a microscope and behave accordingly, no matter how unfair it is that you have to behave twice as good as her to get half the regard. No drinking – the police, when she calls them, are going to ask “Have you been drinking?” They are not going to ask “Have you only had two beers over the last three hours?” If you answer yes – they will treat you like someone who is drunk. If you answer no, you are a liar. They will use that as their excuse to haul you off.

She will try to push your buttons. Swallow your pride and let her run her mouth. If you’re not drunk, disorderly, or threatening, they cannot make you leave. They will ask you to. Say “no.” Insist that the kids have their room, clothes, and all that here, school tomorrow, and she’s not getting them out of bed and taking them to Mommy’s. Stick to your guns. You will be badgered.

Have your attorney on speed dial on your cell. Nothing make a cop behave like “I’m an attorney and this is my client…” It strikes fear in their hearts.

This does not acknowledge the system as being “right.” It is wrong. It is messed up badly.

It is also the way it is, and the only game in town. Unless you’re one for a rifle and a Bell Tower, you have to play. Fail to play, and you lose. Again – that is the way it is.

The courts determine only winners and losers. Decide what you want to be. Deal with it. Grow up.

Until the laws get reformed, it is what you have to play with – these are the cards you have been dealt. Changing the system will take time. Probably more than you have if you are reading this in 2007.

It may be done in increments. Don’t be a dumbass like the Libertarians (I am one, so I can say that) and expect total reform instantly or it’s useless.

Adjust your attitude. Chivalry is one thing, but an entitlement of one-sided chivalry is useless. Its day has passed. Let it be buried. This is the age of equality. That means you too, in not having to put up with crap.

Be pragmatic and prioritize, for pity’s sake. Number one: Your kids need their Dad – you are not replaceable. Number two: You need your kids – they are not replaceable. Everything else takes a back seat. Her relationship with them is her problem – doesn’t even hit your list. Your property? Lower. “Getting the bitch?” Dead last. If you’re of a mind to that, it’s not a goal, it’s gravy. Let her do it to herself, and stand back while she ties the rope. Be more worried about being in the position to be magnanimous – then be magnanimous (Not a doormat!). It’ll make you look good, and piss her off.

Let her worry about being stupid then. Like I said, losing isn’t in her script. She will rarely disappoint you.

Our best weapon is taking these things, these unfair laws and attitudes, and turning them around and making them cut the other way. When the teeth of the law start biting women, they will howl for change, and scream “Uncle.” We are going through this in Indiana right now, and I plan to highlight and publicize how the new law – allowing them to seize assets, tax checks, and garnishee wages of live ins for child support – is hurting women. This will inflame public outrage. I will happily use women against feminists. I will happily create more women who see feminism and their man-hatred as dangerous to women. Feminism is already a five-letter word to a lot of the younger generation – I hear five, and I want four.

Men have got to take their power back, and there is no way to do it but to do it. Gents, we are a minority. One the dating scene – for every 10 attached women, there is one floating around free. Know what that does? It gives you power – please me, or there is another who will.

Push for male birth control – and use it. We can stomp out paternity fraud, and trap pregnancies, in one generation. If not for you, for your sons and brothers.

Start filing Title IX suits. Start using “Anti-Discrimination” laws to shut down women-only spaces.

Use the courts. Clog them up. Petition for review of custody, of child support, even if you know things won’t change. Show up. Shut down the machinery of misandry.

You men who have custody – go after deadbeat moms. Make the state – make feminist inspired laws – hurt women. No matter how much it sucks, that is the only way they will pay attention to how draconian the laws are. That is the only way they will review them. I didn’t, and I regret it. No more Mister Nice Guy.

We can break them. We just have to be smart, and stop being stupid.
