World’s Biggest Super Soaker Packs a Mean Punch Check out the record (and glass) shattering Super Soaker, measuring seven feet long. COMPLETE WITH an interview with the inventor of the Super Soaker.
We drift in a sea of historical fraud. …Freeing the slaves was an easy solution if you didn’t have the problem. If you were a planter with a wife and three little girls, would you give up your house and subject your family to poverty, rape, robbery, and revenge from blacks? I am not asking whether you think they should have done it, but whether in the circumstances you would do it. Another way of putting it: For what moral cause would you, today, give up your job, house, and investments, and step on the sidewalk with your family?Fun with Slavery: Dark Spots in a Shining Sea of Twaddle | Fred On Everything
A civil war is underway. Trump, like Lincoln, isn’t just fighting an elitist Democrat ruling class embedded in secessionist enclaves of gated communities surrounded by political plantations of minority poor.
What really scares me when I’m in America is picking up my luggage. If you’ve ever picked someone up from a flight, you know there’s no sort of scrutiny around who gets to walk in there. It’s like the TSA thinks the terrorists have some sort of death grudge against planes. So if we can keep them from getting on one, they won’t bother murdering a bunch of people clustered around baggage claim.7 Reasons the TSA Sucks (A Security Expert’s Perspective)
Notes from HuffPost visit to America HuffPoser 1: Please, Earthling, um, person with a rouge connection between head and torso, interact with me verbally so that I may better acquaint myself with your ignorance, cultural depravity, and your political superstitions.
The Church of Modern Lunacy Notice the feminine language. They want to “welcome and affirm” trannies into their churches. I’d like these guys to point to the passage in the Bible that covers men who like to play dress up or people so mentally unbalanced they believe their sex organs are imaginary. Ministering to the mentally ill has a place in a church, but that’s not what they are saying. They want to make mutilating people a sacrament. Imagine being forced to embrace this sort of madness. It is no wonder the sane clergy are leaving.
The Great Day-Care Sexual-Abuse Panic A generation of preschoolers had been subject to all manner of sexual degradation and physical abuse, including rape; small animals had been ritually sacrificed and children fed their blood; there had been field trips to local cemeteries to dig up corpses. Peggy McMartin Buckey was accused of “drilling” the limbs of students, and her 26-year-old son was alleged to have levitated inside the schoolhouse.
The Dread Gorgon: As he strikes off Medusa’s head with his sword, two creatures are born from her bloodied neck: an undistinguished warrior named Chrysaor, who (as his Greek name suggests) possessed a golden sword; and, more impressively, the winged horse Pegasus.
“People like Franz Kline and Jackson Pollock and de Kooning sometimes do get amazing qualities that give me a kick in the tail to really let go. But I think a painting is undigested if you leave it in the state of just chaos. I like that first, wild impulse to be there, underneath, but pulled back into clarity.”Why Andrew Wyeth’s Art – Once Derided – Has Outlived His Critics
Three hundred feet in the air, Mauli Dhan dangles on a bamboo rope ladder, surveying the section of granite he must climb to reach his goal: a pulsing mass of thousands of Himalayan giant honeybees. They carpet a crescent-shaped hive stretching almost six feet below a granite overhang. The bees are guarding gallons of a sticky, reddish fluid known as mad honey, which, thanks to its hallucinogenic properties, sells on Asian black markets for $60 to $80 a pound—roughly six times the price of regular Nepali honey. The Last Death-Defying Honey Hunter of Nepal
“I’m sorry slavery happened, conceptually. It’s reprehensible our predecessors singled out a particular group in such a fashion. But I’m not sorry because I don’t owe anyone anything but personal respect based on their behavior today – not the historical nature of their existence in this nation. Sorry, Not Sorry – Maggie’s Farm
“The strong do as they will. The weak suffer what they must. And this is law.” And of course it is in Muslim countries where most if present day slavery survives. But if you truly adopt cultural relativism, you have no intellectual basis for rejecting slavery. The strong do as they will, and the weak suffer what they must.

I swear these images of Jupiter are really images of wire melts.
My best friend lives in Israel and I visited him in 1996. Oh man I sure wasn’t thinking because after choosing El Al, even though it was 100s more, for their vaunted security, I made the mistake of bringing a couple of remote controlled cars for his young boys and a bag of my special protein powder. Add a new passport and paid for my ticket with cash and I was escorted into the “special” room. They literally took every item out of my bag and anally inspected it. The toys and powder were removed to some other locale for further testing. The questioning described is exactly like that with new people stepping in with additional questions.
I was then escorted to my seat and when we landed in NY for the El Al flight, I was escorted again off the plane and onto their flight, right to my seat. I guess they wanted to make dead certain that I was going to ride that plane to it’s doom if they missed something.
When I landed in Israel, my friend was WTF man. They had sent officers to his house to verify my story.
What I remember most vividly, even after 20+ years, was the seething hatred in the eyes of Palestinians.
The beaches were beautiful but a 1/2 mile in either direction, the garbage was knee deep. My friend said it was the fucking Greeks throwing their trash in the Sea and it washed up there(Israelis are notorious litterbugs)
OK. I have to add. Great pic of the firemen below the fold! Improves my day, although the fire is a serious subject.
Andrew Wyeth. If you focus too much on his realism, you lose 98% of what he had to offer. I’d send the article back for a rewrite. They get one thing correct, and I said the same thing the day he died: his star is rising over time.

Fun with slavery.

and the third of the colonists who joined them in risking their lives, families, assets against the British, answered, ‘Yes’ to the question posed.
In my comfort, I fear what my answer would be.

The hagfish is a good candidate for the most revolting creature in the ocean. It’s meal of choice is anything dead at the bottom. I didn’t know about the slime. I noticed that the cargo of these delicious critters was bound for Korean restaurants. They consider it a delicacy. Korean restaurants are sprouting like weeds around my corner of the Southland. All time nastiest cuisine of all time. Not even close to edible. Hagfish…

Batshit Insane neatly dovetails into the Church of Modern Lunacy. The ability to wear a uniform while being butt-ugly is required.
“Those costs could reach $3.7 billion over the next ten years if the number of transsexual people in the military matches claims by transgender activists, he said.”
=========================================
If you reward something you get MORE of it.
Here’s what’s going to happen if this comes to pass.
A majority of the soldiers will claim they are tranny’s. Since the whole tranny thing is based on insanity and has no sense of reality in it, why not? The soldiers will then receive the benefit of being a military tranny with no downside. What soldier with a tube wouldn’t want to shower and billet with a soldier with a groove? None.
Then, when training alerts are called at 3am no one will show up because everyone will be in the sheets, grinding.
War?
What’s it good for?
Absolutely nothing! hoo-ah
Come on babe, take a walk on the wild side…and da cudda gurlz go, doot, doot, doota-doot, doot

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

As long as money can be made from it, it will exist.
And everybody else has to put up with it.
Hagfish? My pet name for Hillary. Say, isn’t that a Hillary ’16 sticker on the bumper of that slimy car?

You know who else is a Unitarian Universalist? Robert Fulgham, that’s who. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, just sayin’. He’s in good company with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Neville Chamberlain. These are the diverse points of view and studies in contrast that make this blog such an interesting read!
