Betcha that the Russkies show the rest of the world how to deal with pirates!
My bet is that the sharks in the area immediately surrounding the tanker will be well fed within 12 hours of the Russian ship arriving on site.
None of the pirates will complain about bad treatment or civil rights violations.
Any takers?
yep. So trooo
What do your friends say about you?
Or was it something more sinister?
Seems the Times Square (almost) bomber, Faisal Shahzad nearly got beyond the borders of the US. DESPITE BEING ON THE NO FLY LIST. No second look by the TSA, despite the fact that he was paying cash for a last minute ticket with no luggage. This sort of behavior would get me “special attention”, and no doubt my tonsils massaged from the wrong end by an unsmiling man with a long rubber glove, if you know what I mean.
So were the TSA folks inept? Or were they supposed to let him pass? Perhaps the FBI and the rest of the alphabet folks were just good enough to catch him, despite the fact that the way was cleared for him….
And one wonders, how could the authorities have dropped the ball regarding this guy? He was a whole bunch or red flags, yet no one bothered to look. I thought the reorganization post 9-11 was supposed to be taking care of this…
I mean, as so many others have pointed out, the fact is that this was a childlike method of making a bomb. Fer chrissake, had most any kid from the midwest decided to make a device such as this, the damned thing would probably have worked, and there would be dead or injured being tended to right now, either in funeral homes or hospitals.
One might wonder if this was a false flag operation designed to create a stir without actually hurting anyone. To perhaps take the focus off the AZ Immigration debacle? To hide something else? It has taken up several days of news cycle already, to the exclusion of nearly all other topics.
If yer tinfoil hat is tight enough, you can begin to wonder…
Or then again; perhaps we should remember this quote, with “incompetence” substituted for “stupidity”:
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”
These folks may have the best idea.
Why soccer moms have SUVs
It helps having 4WD and all that ground clearance when they run off the road because they are distracted by their cell phone while driving.
I saw an example of this today. Stupid bint. The road was straight, and not much wind (except that which was coming out of her pie-hole). You’d think that even while yapping to whomever was on the other end of the cell phone she could keep the damned thing inside a 10 foot lane on a straight road.
But the 4WD came in handy when she stuck the thing into a 3 ft deep ditch.
I thought women were supposed to be better at multitasking?
There is a man running for Congress here in NW Indiana, who most likely will not win, but who is, for the first time in a long time, a serious challenger to the incumbent.
I support him in small ways, letting him place signs for his candidacy on some property I own on fairly busy streets. (one is fairly near, but legally far enough away from, a polling place)
I left to go to work today at 6:45 AM, and his sign was intact.
Not so when I returned. Some jagoff had the balls to cut his sign down. The candidate chose not to report it to the police, and I put the sign back up.
Someone is a cowardly vandal.
If yer reading this, come see me. In fact, try to cut the sign down when I am here, next time.
The asswhoopin’ you’ll get will make any 2 beatings you have ever gotten combined seem trivial, you liberal supporting sackless coward. The police won’t save you, either.
Especially if the left has it’s way. After all, they decry the right’s protesting their policies, but had no issue with screaming epithets at the minions of the Hitler Bush administration.
Another example of why the left has destroyed Britain. And never forget they are doing their best to do the same here. Here, they will use “hate speech” laws to the same end.
If we let them.
SO half the residents of the greater Boston area are without safe to drink water.
Half.
Of course they could drink it, but then they would have to first be taught how to boil water (I shit you not!).
This is the level of dependence of most liberals folks in the cities. Sad.
How much water do you have on hand? Do you have a method of purifying what you have? What if the electricity/gas had gone out as well? (I don’t worry as much….I have beaucoup water stored in the basement, a Berky filter, a well AND a generator….I got the water part covered.) But this is an example of how simple preps can make you essentially not notice minor hiccups in the supply of things normally supplied by our governmentally furnished infrastructure.
Do you have enough low or no prep food in the house for a week or more? Medicines? water? Critter food for our junior citizens (it would be a shame to have been prepped for yourselves only to find that your pet might eat you while you slept at the end of a week without kibble….)
Seriously. It will not take much to disrupt your normal existence, and you can do a lot to make these simple issues seem….trivial. Or not. You have a spare tire in your car, right? Why? Planning on having a flat tomorrow? Fire extinguisher in your home? Again, why? Homeowners (or renters) insurance? Why?
Why not prepare for a minor disruption such as the one those folks are experiencing in Boston today, so you hardly notice the fact that there is no bottled water to be had in stores, and that your friends and neighbors are fighting over it in the store aisles….
Of course, you can prepare for a lot, with a few dollars and a small bit of time. Seems the folks down Nashville/Louisville way are having to deal with too much water….Again, in an instance like this, a few preps can make a HUGE difference. Especially when you can’t get to the store (if the store has anything) because of 2 ft of water between you and the chow. Can you deal with a 10 day disruption without rescue? Many in this land cannot.
Tam agrees.
BTW, don’t look me up if you spent all your money on toys, and none on preps thinking you can take mine…. The rest of my disposable income is invested in precious metals.
Think that the gated community is gonna keep your family in a safer neighborhood?
Better to live somewhere besides a subdivision.
