Halloween Survival Tips

1. When it appears that you have killed the monster,
NEVER check to see if it's really dead.

2. Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as
a joke.

3. Do not search the basement, especially if the power
has gone out. If the breakers are in the basement, go
to another house.

4. If your children speak to you in Latin or any other
language which they should not know, shoot them
immediately. It will save you a lot of grief in the
long run. However, it will probably take several
rounds to kill one, so be prepared. This instruction
also applies to kids who speak with somebody else's
voice.

5. When you have the benefit of numbers, NEVER pair
off and split up.

6. As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open
portals to Hell.

7. Never stand in, on, or above a grave, tomb, or
crypt. This would apply to any other house of the dead
as well.

8. If you're searching for something which caused a
loud noise and find out that it's just the cat, GET
THE HELL OUT.

9. If appliances start operating by themselves, do not
check for short circuits. Just get out.

10. Do not take ANYTHING from the dead.

11. If you find a town which looks deserted, there's
probably a good reason for it. Do not stop and look
around.

12. Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology. Even
if you're sure you know what you're doing. Especially
if you're sure you know what you're doing.

13. If you're running from the monster, expect to trip
or fall down at least twice. Also note that, despite
the fact that you are running and the monster is
merely shambling along, it's still moving fast enough
to catch up with you.

14. If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit
uncharacteristic behavior, such as hissing,
fascination for blood, glowing eyes, increasing
hairiness,and so on, kill them immediately.


15. Stay away from certain geographical locations,
some of which are listed here: Amityville, Elm Street,
Transylvania, Nilbog (you're in trouble if you
recognize this one), the Bermuda Triangle, or any
small town in Maine.

16. If your car runs out of gas at night on a lonely
road, do not go to the nearby deserted-looking house
to phone for help. If you think that it's at all
strange because you thought you had half a tank of
gas, shoot yourself instead - You are going to die
anyway, and most likely be eaten.

17. If you find that your house is built upon a
cemetery, now is the time to move in with the in-laws.
This applies to houses that had previous inhabitants
who went mad or died in some horrible fashion, or had
inhabitants who performed satanic practices in your house.

Midweek Peek 10.31.07

This Halloween, the peek has gotta be the lovely Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark.

More illegals exploit the California wildfires

via Judicial Watch:

Mexican illegal immigrants have taken advantage of the California wildfires, looting and stealing from evacuated homes and victim shelters and entering the country through vulnerable border crossings abandoned by U.S. agents forced out by flames.

More than 1,400 homes were lost in the catastrophic fires that burned hundreds of thousands of acres throughout southern California and led the president to officially proclaim the event a federal natural disaster.

U.S. Border Patrol agents in several San Diego crossings were forced to evacuate their posts and illegal immigrants took advantage to enter the country. More than 200 illegal aliens have been arrested in the fire zone since the flames erupted earlier this week and several are being treated for burns at San Diego hospitals.

Many of them entered the U.S. through a remote border crossing (Tecate) just minutes after Border Patrol agents evacuated, locking a small gate behind them. Migrants opened the gate and a rush of traffic, both pedestrian and vehicle, ensued. Federal authorities are still not certain how many illegal immigrants have slipped into the country in the last few days.

Additionally, there have been numerous incidents of illegal immigrants looting and stealing from burned residences in the San Diego area as well the football stadium that served as a shelter for thousands of evacuees. The San Diego County Sheriff has arrested several of the culprits, including two illegal aliens caught crossing back into Mexico carrying items stolen from a burned home.

These aren't immigrants, they are vermin.

Hillary video reveals illegal fundraising

Should Bill and Hillary Clinton be in jail for federal fundraising crimes? Peter Paul seems to have proof.

Paul claims President Clinton destroyed his entertainment company – Stan Lee Media – to get out of a $17 million deal in which he promised to promote the firm in exchange for stock, cash options and massive contributions to his wife's 2000 campaign. Paul contends he was directed by the Clintons and Democratic Party leaders to foot the bill for a lavish Hollywood gala and fundraiser prior to the 2000 election that eventually cost him nearly $2 million.
...
Paul contends Sen. Clinton's participation in soliciting performers and planning the event would make his more than $1.2 million in contributions a direct donation to her Senate campaign rather than to a joint fundraising committee, violating federal statutes that limit "hard money" contributions to a candidate to $2,000 per person. Knowingly accepting or soliciting $25,000 or more in a calendar year is a felony carrying a prison sentence of up to five years.

Think either of them will ever be held accountable for these obvious violations of the law?

Alien vs Predator - Requiem trailer

I'll get into something more substantial tomorrow. But for now, I'm digging on the new Alien vs. Predator movie trailer that aired this weekend before Saw IV. Not only is it beyond cool, the movie releases on my birthday!

My socks are officially blown off.

It's Friday. I, for one, could use a smile today. Enjoy.

More reasons to deport all illegal immigrants

This week's horrific California fires have brought out the best in some Americans. And the worst in some Mexicans.(h/t: Screw Liberals)

San Diego: "Six undocumented Mexican immigrants were arrested today by U.S. Border Patrol agents at Qualcomm Stadium, after a report that they were stealing food and water meant for evacuees, according to spokesman Damon Foreman.

San Diego police responded to a call about alleged theft from the evacuation center and encountered six people in a van who didn't speak English and didn't have California driver's licenses, Foreman said. The police officers called the Border Patrol, who arrived at the stadium and made the arrests, he said. Foreman said the immigrants admitted they were Mexican citizens and that they were stealing."

Ah yes, more illegal aliens doing the jobs Americans just won't do: stealing disaster relief supplies.

If you're not already fed up and disgusted with the millions of illegal immigrants hiding out in America, subverting our culture and stealing us blind, you're not paying attention.

Pete Stark does the right thing, apologizes

As outraged as I was about Rep. Pete Stark's (D - CA) hateful statements last week, I have to take a minute to acknowledge that he's departed from the typical Democrat "dig your heels in" playbook and offered an apology on the House floor (although it's obviously a response to GOP House leader John Boehner making a
motion to censure him). Still, color me surprised. (h/t: Hot Air)
---
UPDATE: As one might expect, the extreme Left is a working themselves into a froth over Stark's apology, as they still believe that last week he was "speaking truth to power."

(Ugh, I think I need to take a shower just from having typed that liberal agitprop.)

Fred Thompson's immigration plan

Fred Thompson has released his plan to fight illegal immigration. Sounds pretty damn good to me.

“A country that cannot secure its borders will not remain a sovereign nation and you cannot have national security without border security,” said Thompson. “It’s not only necessary for any meaningful immigration reform, but border security plays a key role in both the interdiction of illegal drugs and in defending America against terrorist threats. Weak borders allow terrorists and smugglers, as well as millions of illegal aliens, easy entrance to the United States.”

Thompson’s two-pronged plan, which can be found in its entirety at www.fred08.com, is based on two principles: Securing the Border and Enforcing the Law, and Improving the Legal Immigration Process.

Highlights of the proposal include:

• No Amnesty: Amnesty undermines U.S. law and policy, rewards bad behavior, and is unfair to the millions of immigrants who follow the law and are awaiting legal entry into the United States.


• Enforce Existing Federal Laws: Enforce the laws Congress has already enacted to prevent illegal aliens from unlawfully benefiting from their presence in the country including:
1. End Sanctuary Cities by cutting off discretionary federal grant funds as appropriate to any community that, by law, ordinance, executive order, or other formal policy directs its public officials not to comply with the provisions of 8 USC 1373 and 8 USC 1644, which prohibit any state or local government from restricting in any way communications with the Department of Homeland Security “regarding the immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of an alien in the United States.”
2. Deny discretionary Federal education grants as appropriate to public universities that violate federal law by offering in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens without also offering identical benefits to United States citizens, regardless of whether or not they live in the state, as required by 8 USC 1623.
3. Deny discretionary Federal grants as appropriate to states and local governments that violate federal law by offering public benefits to illegal aliens, as prohibited by 8 USC 1621(a).


• Increased Border Security: Doubling Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents handling interior enforcement, increasing the Border Patrol to at least 25,000 agents, and increasing detention space to incarcerate illegal aliens we arrest rather than letting them go with a promise to show up later for legal proceedings against them.


• Attrition through Enforcement: Reduce the number of illegal aliens through increased enforcement against unauthorized alien workers and their employers. Without illegal employment opportunities available, fewer illegal aliens will attempt to enter the country, and many of those illegally in the country now likely will return home. This course of action offers a reasonable alternative to the false choices currently proposed to deal with the 12 million or more aliens already in the U.S. illegally: either arrest and deport them all, or give them all amnesty.


• Maximize Legal Immigration Program Efficiency: Reduce the backlogs and streamline the process for immigrants and employers who seek to follow the law. Also, simplify and expedite the application processes for temporary visas. Caps for any category of temporary work visa would be increased as appropriate, if it could be demonstrated that there are no Americans capable and willing to do the jobs.


• Modernize Immigration Law/Policy: Change the nature of our legal immigration system to welcome immigrants who can be economic contributors to our country and are willing to learn the English language and reduce the scope of chain migration by giving family preference in the allocation of lawful permanent resident status only to spouses and minor children of U.S. citizens, and no one else (no siblings, no parents, no adult children, etc.).


• English as Official Language: Make English the official language of the U.S. to promote assimilation and legal immigrants’ success, and require English proficiency in order for any foreign person to be granted lawful permanent resident status.


• Preference for American Military Service: Place those foreign persons who are lawfully present in the country and who serve honorably in the Armed Forces of the United States on a faster, surer track to U.S. citizenship.

It's Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week!

Racism spelled "L-a R-a-z-a"

Mexican racists calling themselves La Raza (The Race) are getting increasingly bellicose in their demands. Officially, they don't support “Reconquista”, which is taking back America's southwestern states and giving them to Mexico. But don't tell that to their members. (h/t: Screw Liberals)

A national Hispanic civil rights organization said Saturday it will not hold its 2009 annual convention in Kansas City because an opponent of illegal immigration was appointed to the city's park board.

The National Council of La Raza said its board of directors voted unanimously to pull the conference after being unable to reach an agreement with Mayor Mark Funkhouser over his appointment in June of Frances Semler, a member of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps.

NCLR officials consider the Minutemen, who are known for posting patrols along the U-S.-Mexican border and picketing construction sites where illegal immigrants may be working, hostile to Hispanics. The Minutemen organization maintains it simply wants U.S. immigration policies enforced.

"An active member of the Minutemen should not be an official representative for a city that purports to believe in diversity," said NCLR board chairwoman Monica Lozano.

Apparently, diversity now means embracing illegal immigrants and keeping quiet about enforcing America's borders and laws.

Thanks for clearing that up, La Raza.

By the way, the The National Council of La Raza bills itself as "the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S." Wouldn't it be fair to say that the KKK could bill itself as "the largest national White civil rights and advocacy organization"? Whites who walk around calling themselves "the Race" are correctly known as white supremacists or Nazis. Why is there a different standard when the same behaviors are used by folks with brown skin?

We need to quit identifying ourselves by race. There are no hyphenated Americans. Either you're American or you're not. Calling yourself something else simply serves to deepen the divides in our country.

Obama continues his anti-patriotism

No longer content to eschew flag pins, Barack Obama seems to now want to ignore our National Anthem. This from the man who wants to be President of the United States.

A picture is worth a thousand words. (h/t: Moonbattery)
---
UPDATE: In all fairness, this pic has been largely misrepresented; an urban legend though not exactly a canard. It correcly shows the candidates standing during the playing of the National Anthem, where it's proper etiquette to place one's hand over one's heart in salute. What's commonly claimed is that Obama refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance

Stark's outragous BDS statement

More "supporting the troops" from the extreme Left.

Representative Pete Stark (D - CA) mouths off with anti-soldier rhetoric and Bush Derangement Syndrome.

"Where are you going to get that money? Are you going to tell us lies like you're telling us today? Is that how you're going to fund the war? You don't have money to fund the war or children. But you're going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the president's amusement."

You don't have to be in favor of the war in Iraq, or even like President Bush. But there's no need to provide al-Qaeda with anti-American propaganda.

Anti-gun reporter ambushes senior citizen

There's been a news story here in Dallas this week about a 70-year-old man who had to shoot a burglar for the second time in a month. If only he'd have been as well-prepared for the ambush that was sprung on him by local Fox 4 "reporter" Rebecca Aguilar (recent recipient of Hispanic Broadcast journalist of the year).


"Are you a trigger happy kind of person? Is that what you wanted to do, shoot to kill?"

Rather than reporting the news, this thugette thought it'd make a more impactful story to badger and berate a senior citizen, bringing him to tears for daring to defend himself. He lives at his business and has had to ward off intruders twice in the last three weeks. Prior to these two incidents, he had to call police forty-two times for similar break-ins. The police CAN NOT be depended upon to protect citizens from violence. Which is why private ownership of firearms is so important. I'm glad that James Walton has the ability (and aim) to defend himself.

And I'm glad Ms. Aguilar has been suspended for her blatant bias.

Official Iron Man theatrical trailer

Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark + Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" song = killer trailer!

The Mack Truck of Life

Blogging has been on hiatus this week, as I've been repeatedly run over by events in my life. With the employment, finance, and health issues I've been dealing with over the past 12 months, this past year has been my worst ever. And this week ranks right up there at the pinnacle. Right now, my personal soundtrack must be Metallica's "No Leaf Clover":

"Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Is just a freight train coming your way"

I'm just taking a breather, things will resume within the next day or so.

Religion of Peace update: 2-year-old jihadis

Just in time for the holy month of Ramadan, Hamas trots out Palestinian children brainwashed to become suicide bombers. (h/t: LGF)

Hamas Indoctrinates Children…Again

The media arm of HAMAS, Al-Aqsa TV, once again is using the airwaves to indoctrinate Palestinian youth and glorify violent jihad. In recent months, HAMAS has drawn the ire of the international community with various programs aimed at filling the minds of the next generation of Palestinians with hate and violence. The underlying message of the videos has largely focused on Israeli aggression, though, in recent editions, has digressed into the fray of the Hamas-Fatah split.

A back-to-school program called “The Gifted” features a child, identified as a 2-year-old, skulking around in military garb and aiming an assault weapon “at the occupying terrorists.”

“We’ll wear the battle-vest of self sacrifice and follow the path of the Shahids,” a child narrator says as the younger boy, his face hooded, stoops down with his weapon.

Vet cuts down illegal Mexican flag

Best news I've seen all day, courtesy of Ed Gruberman (who also has the video of the vet). Nice to see that someone paid attention in Civics class. (h/t: Screw Liberals, Hot Air)

RENO, NEVADA: “This afternoon we received a call from a viewer who said a business near downtown Reno was flying a Mexican flag above an American flag… which is in fact illegal.”

This, after photos and comments about the flag were posted on Craigslist this morning. When we were able to have a photographer go and check everything out we found the story to be true.

It also didn’t take long before the situation provoked a strong reaction. We are now going to show you , unedited, what happened.

The video link will be on the left hand side of article in small blue box. There may be a 15 second commercial by “Father Joe” before the video starts.

In the video a U.S Army veteran [Jim Brossard - ed.] goes over to the Mexican bar in Reno where the Mexican flag is flying above the U.S. flag and he cuts it down with his Army knife. He takes the U.S. flag away and throws the Mexican flag on the ground.

Thank you, Jim Brossard, for standing up for your country yet again; another job too many Americans just won't do.

Orwellian Islamic propaganda

Islamic groups in Britain have launched a new 1984-ish “Islam is Peace” campaign which attempts to portray Muslims as ordinary British citizens. And although that may be largely true, Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch dissects the propaganda point-by-point and shows how it comes dangerously close to jihadist goals and rhetoric. (h/t: Hot Air)

Big Brother Mohammed is watching you.

Heavy work, light blogging

In my attempt to get some income, I've taken on three simultaneous freelance assignments. And it's catching up to me. I'm not a twenty-something anymore, and working until 2am for several nights in a row really wears me down. Anyhow, I'll be back to blogging either tonight or tomorrow. This week's ridiculous attempts by the Democrats, especially Harry "We've lost the war" Reid trying to paint Rush Limbaugh as unpatriotic has got my blood boiling.

Sixth-Annual Boobie-thon takes off!

It's October, the time of year when thoughts turn to boobs.

Saving them.

That's right, save the boobs. For the past six years, there's been a blogger-driven effort known as the "Boobie-Thon" dedicated to raising money to fight breast cancer via The Deb Fund and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Women donate shots of their assets, and folks can donate to see 'em. Last year, they raised $10,000 and this year they're going for $35,000! Now there's an enhancement in need of support!

So bust 'em out, your boobs and your wallet, for a worthwhile cause.
