In a Bakerstreet exclusive, the fairness doctrine at work on Rolling Stone magazine.

It’s Not Whether You Win Or Lose, It’s How You Fix The Game

Posted in Obamination, Politics, Time 2 Piss People Off on September 24th, 2008 by sherlock

Looks like the Democrats are willing to do whatever it takes to win the election, Acorn is up to their usual tactics here in Central Florida. I love how the left is always up in arms about how W stole the election in 2000 when most of the voter fraud was done by the left.

Ladies & Gentlemen, Mr Barack Obama In An Act Of Desperation

Posted in Obamination, Observations, Politics on September 22nd, 2008 by sherlock

There are rumors going around that Mr O is going to dump Biden and pick up Clinton as his VP. It’s supposed to work with Biden dropping out for ‘health reasons’ after the first VP debate. I’m not sure I believe that will happen. Why would Biden do this? He would most likely be giving up ever running for President again and he has shown he wants the office, having run several times, what would be his incentive to drop out?

What would be Hillary’s incentive? She doesn’t really want the VP slot, she wants the big chair. Everyone knows that O screwed her, he didn’t even consider her when selecting his VP the first time around. Taking the VP slot will mean that she can’t go for the big chair for at least 8 years (8 to 10 if you’re counting in Obama years) if they win, and then she has to hope that O doesn’t F&^k things up and  that is a long shot. After the way the prick treated her during the primary and the VP selection snub, she should tell him to F#$k off and die.

Hillary’s best bet is to hope he loses so that she can run in 4 years again, if Obama loses, he won’t get the nod next time and she is almost sure to get the nomination.

Like I said, I don’t think he will do this, It would show that his campaign is very worried and that the Palin pick is the biggest factor they are worried about. I’m don’t think that Obama’s ego could take the bruising if he has to bring in Clinton to salvage his campaign.

Is Turnabout Fair Play?

Posted in Are you serious?, Art, Obamination, Photography on September 17th, 2008 by sherlock

The loonies on the left go way beyond the line in the things they do, things that if the right did they would flip out over. The liberals love to write and do things to McCain and Palin that they would consider racist and outrageous if done to Obama. A case in point, Jill Greenberg’s photographs for Atlantic magazine that she decided to photoshop. If a photographer did that to Obama there would be outrage by the liberals, and with reason. So is turnabout fair play? I don’t really think so but…

Tidbits and Bidtits

Posted in Are you serious?, Obamination, Observations, Pink Floyd, Stuff, Time 2 Piss People Off on September 16th, 2008 by sherlock

I haven’t been feeling well the last few days so the posts have been few. I’ll post some things I’ve been meaning to the last couple of days.

First off, the passing of Richard Wright, keyboardist for Pink Floyd. A sad loss and it leaves 3 Floyds left with very little chance of a reunion.

Matt Damon says ‘I think there’s a really good chance that Obama could be president, and I think that’s the really scary thing. It would be preposterous having Obama as president when his only political experience was being senator for two years and serving as a community organizer.’ ’It’s like a really bad Disney movie. The community organizer from Chicago and he’s the president and it’s like he’s not willing to face down Vladimir Putin.’ ’It’s totally absurd, and I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about how absurd it is.’        I might have gotten that quote wrong?

Of course they want Obama, They want the US weak (until they need help that is), But fuck them, we decide our own fate. I say if they want him, they can elect him their president!

‘I know when I’ve been insulted, I know when I’ve been insulted!!!’ I was told by WB that Rob called me a conservative, I’m not sure what the context was so I’m not sure how to comment on that. I think he needs to look around the site some more. I consider myself more of a libertarian. Most would think me very liberal in my views, but that might be a bigger insult. I vote republican because I think the democrats are idiots. I want my freedoms and I’m willing to fight for them. Then again Rob is a limey, and as such, my views might be far right of what the British idiots are willing to put up with!

What the Fuck eh. I read some article from some Canadian idiot bitching that the US needs to elect Obama, bla bla bla, Palin and McCain bad, bla bla bla. Does this bitch really think we should be taking advice from Canada of all places? Yeah I want advice from a country that lets islam fuck them with their rights. Hell their asses have to hurt from bending over and taking it up the ass so much. But she is safe with this article, I’m sure it is islam human rights kangaroo court approved. Seeing how free speech is an American right, I’ll express my right and say FUCK YOU BITCH EH!

Well that’s all for now, I have more thoughts but I’ll have to dig up links and right now I don’t have time, the job gets in the way!

Update: Link added, thanks WB

Star Lite, Star Bright

Posted in Are you serious?, Obamination, Politics, Time 2 Piss People Off on September 10th, 2008 by sherlock

As I’ve said before, Obama doesn’t want to be president because he loves his country, he wants to be president because he loves himself, and everyone in Hollywood and at his rallies and even the world loves him. Bow before him. Well everyone except the bitter religious gun clingers, but do they even count? They are not even human are they? more like subhumans that the real humans have to deal with, like cockroaches really. He is a shining star burning very bright that needs those greek columns and a large stadium to hold the large adoring crowds along with his even larger ego. Bow before him. He is the Messiah that will fix everything and nothing. It matters not that he has never done anything, it just matters that he is, bow before him. He has shown that he can out shine everyone, or at least out maneuver them. Bow before him. He did it to Hillary, did she really think she could beat a man, especially one as great as the Messiah? Bow before him. Did that old fish McCain truly think he can out shine the Messiah? Bow before him.

But the star dims, a new star rises and shines brighter then his, how can this be? Panic… Palin

Taser Tag

Posted in Observations, Time 2 Piss People Off on September 9th, 2008 by sherlock

In a report on CNN we learn that in Houston, 67% of people tasered are black. They go on to basically say that it is because of racism. Not that I don’t think that racism plays a part, the problem is that they really don’t give us the full picture. They tell us that 25% of Houston’s population is black so that means the 67% taserings is way out of wack. But in reality, that 25% is meaningless, what they need to tell us is the percentage of crime committed by whites and blacks. If say 67% of all crimes committed are committed by blacks then there is no racism problem, Granted, I don’t believe this, I just say that to illustrate my point as CNNs report does not give us the percentages we need.

But let’s say that 25% of crime is by blacks and 67% off taserings are on blacks, can there be other reasons for the higher proportions of blacks getting tasered? How about the ‘angry black man’? When a cop approaches a white man or black man, even if it is just to ask a question, what percentage of whites vs blacks get defense and maybe angry? I can understand why a black man/woman would feel harassed if (s)he feels the cops are always questioning them, but it may also cause the incident to spiral and the officer the feel understandably defensive. Once again, the officer may not be acting on racism but defensively. Yet once again, CNN doesn’t give us the numbers, but here the study may not have even taken those factors into consideration.

Something else to consider is family and friends. When an officer is questioning or trying to arrest a black man/woman, one thing I’ve noticed in life, on Cops and in news reports is that family, friends and even strangers come out and start yelling at the cops, once again, a crowd gathering around can quickly escalate what could have been a simple questioning or arrest. I have noticed this more with blacks as opposed to whites. This could lead to the suspect or someone in the crowd getting tasered.

How about running or fighting? What percentage of white suspects run or fight or just plainly resist as opposed to blacks? This is one I don’t know and CNN doesn’t say if it does either. But seeing that a suspect that resists is much more likely to get tasered then knowing this percentage is probably the most important. Yet this is probably the number we’ll never know. If a cop tasers someone, they can say the suspect resisted while the suspect will say he didn’t. Unless independent observers go out with every cop to video the arrests, this may be the study that shows the truth, yet would cops and/or the suspect act differently knowing a camera is capturing them?

How many black officers taser blacks as opposed to white officers tasering blacks? Another factor that CNN fails to provide. If the numbers are similar then is there a problem? I doubt this but I don’t know. I imagine that a black officer doesn’t get as much grief as a white officer when questioning a black suspect, but once again, this is something I’m unsure of.

So does racism play a role? Of course, it is just how much of a role it plays the is in question. CNN would like you to believe that the 67% should only be 25% and that the higher percentage is caused completely because of racism. I happen to believe the percentage that could be considered to be caused by racism is much lower. The report that Houston did may look at some of these factors, but if they did, CNN did not report on them so we don’t know what percentage the report considers as caused by racism or if it even gives a percentage, I would doubt that it does.

In this post I am lumping all other races into the white category just to make it easier then saying white/hispanic/asian and so forth

Seriously dude, do you really think a bunch of balloons would cause nuclear war? Even with bugs in the software? If that was the case, a large flock of geese would have taken us out long ago. I’m pretty sure the military wouldn’t take a large blob moving at a couple of mile per hour too seriously, and if they did they would most likely send a couple of Jets to check it out first.

Yes this was the song going through my head as I scootered to work this morning, I need speakers in my helmet so I can listen to my iPod and not have one song play over and over the whole trip!
