Sami Amin Al-Arian has been currently charged with 50 counts of
terrorism and has been arrested.
He's clearly a Bad Man (tm).
Here's a picture of him with our current prez, The Shrub and his
wife, taken during 2000's presidential campaign.

Also of great importance is this sham of a war that's coming up.
A populace in fear is a populace that's easy for a goverment to control,
this cannot be argued, plain and simple.
Our goverment has of late been labeling anything a "terrorist weapon", or
a "weapon of mass destruction".
Allow me to introduce you to the "daisy cutter". This is a 15,000 pound (6800 kg)
bomb (7.5 tons!) which is known in the military as the BLU-82. It is
largely comprised of the same shit (literally) that was used in the
bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal Building.
Side Note: No, I'm still not convinced McVeigh did it, nor
will I ever be. Our gov acted in a really fucking unprofessional
manner in covering up what *did* happen, fabricating a fair amount
of shit along the way. For more information on this, please read
The Oklahoma City Bombing and the Politics of Terror by David Hoffman.
For those of you not clicking the link, some highlights about the BLU-82:
o It's billed as the world's largest conventional bomb.
o Incinerates (burns to a crisp) anything in a 600 yard (1800 ft, ~550 M).
o It's pushed out the back of an MC-130 cargo transport because it weighs
more than any standard bomb racks in convention bombers can carry.
o The planes fly at least 6,000 ft (1,800 M) above the ground to avoid the
shockwave.
o Were originally designed to clear jungles areas for helicopter landing
without creating a crater.
o One killed 4,500 Iraqi troops in the gulf war (11 were dropped).
o The blast wave sucks out all oxygen in the blast radius.
Quotes on the 'Cutter:
|
"Personnel near the ignition point are obliterated," added the expert.
"Those on the fringes are likely to suffer internal injuries - burst ear
drums, crushed organs, ruptured lungs, severe concussion and possibly
blindness."
The fuel vapour of the weapon instantly penetrates into bunkers, vehicles or buildings before ignition. Experts say conventional body armour and bunkers provide no protection. One US Special Forces soldier described the aftermath of a BLU-82 attack on Iraqi troops: "Many of our soldiers were at loss to explain what caused the Iraqis to die. After days or even weeks worth of exposure to the desert , evidence of blood had typically dried or become obscured by oil and sand particles so the Iraqi corpses showed absolutely no outward sign of violent death. "Fuel air bombs merely suffocated their victims and they fell where they stood. Victims were typically found with massive amounts of blood flowing from all bodily orifices." He added: "It is a very violent and painful way to die ." |
Yes.... this is our government at work. This weapon is not like a gun that can be easily aimed and targeted. It has a huge, massive blast force that can do incredible damage to anything around it, military, civilian, or otherwise. Using the BLU-82 as an offensive/defensive weapon, rather than for its intended purpose is an all new low for the US (ok, not really, it's par for the course) and only illustrates the terrorist tendencies of the US government and military.

PITTSBURGH Fred Rogers, who gently invited millions of children to be
his neighbor as host of the public television show Mister Rogers'
Neighborhood for more than 30 years, died of cancer early Thursday. He was
74.
Rogers died at his Pittsburgh home, said family spokesman David Newell, who played Mr. McFeely on the show. Rogers had been diagnosed with stomach cancer sometime after the holidays, Newell said. |
Things just aint gunna be the same... ____________ [ 02.26.03 ] [ RANDOM ] 2222 I'm sitting in the kitchen right now, listening to the creek out back running and spilling over itself with much vigor and strength. Last night I turned off the shower and was delighted to hear rain ploppling down overhead on the skylight. Even in the rain the local wild peacock still roosts in the big tree out back. Last night while watching Bike Week on the Speed channel I had a roaring fire going in the cast iron fireplace. Sadly, very and truly sadly my time here at this cabin down in the canyon is coming to an end. It's been hard to find a place I both *want* to live and also *can* live. Renting is sometimes difficult when a debt is out in your name to the tune of US$300+ because of your former roommate's fucking Pay Per View bill. The next few weeks can either *really* fucking suck or be quite interesting. "Fun" I don't think is going to be on the roster, tho... And once again, Thanks Be to the almighty Zaurus for keeping me connected..... ____________ [ 02.25.03 ] [ RANDOM ] (notime) It's been pouring for... over 12 hours solid now. I was utterly saturated by the time I got to work today. A mess, utterly a mess. Rolled in a few after 0800 and, as usual, the fucking A/C was on by 0900, freezing out the little body heat I had left. Nothing else to say right now.

PASS THIS ON WE MUST GET THIS HOLIDAY ROLLING...THIS HAS
THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A FEDERAL HOLIDAY......
Guys, you know the drill. Every 14th of February you get the chance to display your fondness for a significant other by showering her with gifts, flowers, dinner, shows and any other baubles that women find romantic. Every Valentines day you rack your brains for that one special, unique gift that will show your wife or girlfriend that you really do love them more than any other. Now ladies, I'll let you in on a little secret; guys really don't enjoy this that much. Sure seeing that smile on your face when we get it right is priceless, but that smile is the result of weeks of blood, sweat and consideration. Another secret; guys feel left out. That's right, there's no special holiday for the ladies to show their appreciation for the men in their life. Men as a whole are either too proud or too embarrassed to admit it. Which is why this new holiday has been created. March 20th is now officially "Steak and Blowjob Day". Simple, effective and self explanatory, this holiday has been created so you ladies finally have a day to show your man how much you love him. No cards, no flowers, no special nights on the town; the name of the holiday explains it all, just a steak and a BJ. Thats it. Finally, this twin pair of Valentine's Day and Steak and Blowjob Day will usher in a new age of love as men everywhere try THAT much harder in February to ensure a memorable March 20th. Its like a perpetual love machine! The word is already beginning to spread, but as with any new idea, it needs a little push to start the ball rolling. So spread the word, and help bring love and peace to this crazy world. And, of course, steak and BJs. |
So it is written, so it is done. ____________ [ 02.20.03 ] [ TECH ] [ RANDOM ] 2313 Tonight's entry is brought to you by the Sharp Zaurus. As in, I'm typing this on the microkeyboard right now. Came home from work late, stopped for dinner at the biker bar since it's on the way home now (and since it's been too cold for me to make my usual Wednesday run), made it home and was passed out in under 25 minutes. Fucking flu. Worth noting: successful wardrive on the way home on the motorcycle! The nifty little Zaurus fits in a pocket on my suit better than a laptop, dontcha know? ;) 7 AP's total gathered. Not bad for a maiden voyage with [soft|hard]ware I'd never tested. It started raining again a few hours ago. Pretty heavy to start with, then slowly lighter. A few minutes ago I sat in the living room watching the lightning over the top of the canyon, followed shortly by the sharp, solid thunder. Am wondering at this point if enough will come down to flood the tributary and give me a river to cross on the way out in the morning. ____________ [ 02.18.03 ] [ RANDOM ] (notime) Had a great VDay, as they go. No, really, it was. It's refreshing to be able to give someone a gift of, well, a huge fucking knife, and knowing that it's not going to be turned on themself *or* lodged in your own damn back. Foreign concept, generally, you have to realize. (Incidentally, it's a Jackal by Gil Hibben and is about 15 inches long overall, with the blade being a little over 8. Nice.) Need car. Getting sick of riding. I'm rather ill and riding is really taking quite a toll on me. Sorry... just not a lot to say right now... ____________ [ 02.14.03 ] [ RANT ] (notime) Happy SAD (Singles Awwareness Day) http://slate.msn.com/id/2078502/ ____________ [ 02.13.03 ] [ RANT ] 2000 Somewhere around 2000 right now at least. Had to run some errands after work this evening. Three days and nights of rain finally backed off to the point most roads were damp at worst, no longer really wet. Ran my errands, get off the toll road, hang a left to hit a small strip mall to take care of one final detail for the evening and then F U C K ! ! ! Some stupid, old, ignorant motherfucking in his gawddamn mother fucking SUV decides that he's going to punch it out of a driveway and shoot for the left turn lane for the street I'm on. Three lanes wide and I'm in the right lane, closest to the driveway his sorry geriatric ass is coming out of. Now, mind you, it's dry at this point. The roads are fine, there is NO rain coming down. The sun is down, so it's not twilight by any means, and the streetlights have this area lit *damn* fucking well. My high beam is on, and there are NO vehicles behind me that could cause and depth perception issues confusing my beam with one of theirs. I was doing at least 45 in a 55 zone, and for whatever reason this stupid, crusty old bastard decides to just roll in and punch it, right fucking in front of me. I start to lean on the breaks to allow the weight to transfer before really getting on them, and as they start to grab I yank the clutch in and dump my gears and slam it back out. As I do, I stand on the fucking breaks. By this point, I'm about three *bike* (NOT CAR) lenghts from this guy, right on him. He is still moving, but slowing, RIGHT FUCKING IN FRONT OF ME. I give the breaks all they've got, and I gotta tell ya right here and now: Any magazine editor or ride tester that talks poorly of BMW's antilock breaking can fuck the hell off right here and now. The antilock grabbed harder and more than it ever has in my three years on this bike. Mind you, the roads are dry at this point. I ate up the entire margin between he and I attempting to power her down, and I was really prepared to impact him right near his left front tire, and was set to spring up and either tuck-and-roll or just slide over his hood. When we both came to a stop, there was literally about 5 or 6 inches between the front corner of his truck and my bike. Less than a foot; more like half a foot. I sat there for a few brief seconds, collected my thoughts, and while doing such, this guy, who must be god himself for how self important he behaves, started to back up so he could go *around* me and get on with his critical evening. Thing is he couldn't back because of the car behind him, so I rolled forward and took the opportunity to place myself across his front end, trapping him where he sat. I pointed, yelled. A *lot*. I used everything I have stored up for situations like this, several times over. Mildly surpised the face of my helmet didn't melt under the aresenic I was spewing forth. Finally, I made a fist, and started pounding on his fucking hood. If he wasn't so close to me and I had a few more inches to work with, I'd have been kicking his fucking headlights in. I finally called it quits and just took off, leaving him to sit there and wonder, I'm sure, why some crazed biker decided to just start fucking with him for no reason. Lessons learned: o Old people not only have poor reaction times, but poor judgement as well. Not only should they require them to take a YEARLY driving test, but really, if you can't drive, you should just be shot on site. Chances are you're more a drain on society at that point than anything. And... the way they just demand respect is fucking ricockulous. Just because you've survived a few decades does not mean you can be an ignorant son of a bitch and still get respecred despite it. No, fuck you. And also, fuck that asshole in the minivan that expected me to hand over a prime parking space I edged him out over this weekend, honking and yelling at me that he had "elderly" people with him. Hey man, no handicapped tags, I have no feelings for ya. Wasn't even a handicapped space. If he had the tag and they needed to be up close, sure, but considering these were a few able-bodied people that moved fine under their own will, no, fuck you, asshole. o BMW's ABS is the only reason I am in one piece right now. God bless German Engineering for making up for Amerkian Stupidity and Arrogance. o Anyone in an SUV needs to have the living fuck beat out of them *daily* until they wise up and sell it. ____________ [ 02.12.03 ] [ RANDOM ] 2320 It's been raining for about 2 days and nights solid now, with almost no letup... constant, constant downpour. Fortunately, it hasn't been as cold as it was before the rain set in, so I'm not nearly as iced up on the bike as I could be. The creek behind the cabin has been flowing steadily for quite awhile now. We need to check out the retaining walls in the morning. I have shopping to do for Friday, and tomorrow is my last day. Forcast calls for rain all day/night, so it looks like I'll be quite saturated by the time I eventually make it home tomorrow. Lesson learned: "Words are weapons, sharper than knives. Makes ya wonder how the other half died". INXS - Suicide Blonde. I need to be a little bit more careful about what I say to whom and how I say it. I'm utterly logical, cold, crisp, concise. My words are chosen to explicitly express/define/dictate as close to 100% accurate as humanly possible without chance for mistake, inferrence, or error. They make lovely scalpels for disecting a person. The sharper ones should be kept in a locked cabinet and only hauled out when needed. Safety razors should be kept at hand for more common uses. Or, another way to say it: Be more careful about hurting people less. And continue to hurt the ones that don't matter as efficently as ever, of course. What, ya think I'm getting soft in my olde age??? Also, Jess is really too good to be true, I think. Also also, my new-badass-gloves-just-like-Chris' finally came in and were hand delivered to me last night!! W00 h00!!!

Saw Shanghai Knights over the weekend. Fun flick, good for a matinee. Didn't get The Mistress in for service this weekend like planned. Maybe next weekend, most likely the one after. I think. Dinner with the Finites this weekend. Once I get back into a cage and can cope with being out when it's ass cold, I'll need to get into the habit of seeing them more often. Finally hooked up with Chris tonight to get him his new badass-gloves- of-which-I-am-supremely-jealous-cuz-no-one-can-get-them-in-my-size. I've only been sitting on them for something around 3 weeks or so, but between time spent packing and now living where coming home late at night on a bike isn't a reasonable option I've been left with no option but to miss Bike Night the past month or so. Suck. Good to catch up with him tho. Been too long, really. ____________ [ 02.05.03 ] [ RANT ] (notime) So, California Federal Bank, heretofore Citibank, have gotta be the WORST batch of trained monkeys I've ever fucking come across.

Yes, it's Fucking Cold (TM) again. I'm living in what amounts to a large cabin out in the wooded part of the county (each house has a large propane tank outside, since there are no gas lines, etc). It's quite beautiful. If I have to be homeless, this is the place to do it in. It also has safe, secured housing for the Wife, Girlfriend, and Mistress to park. And lemme tell ya, waking up to peacock's screaching is better than any damn alarm clock! Flipside, creditors are after me for my ex-roomies cable bill. Fucking lovely. Try to do someone a favour.... 300+ bux of pay-per-view I guess he thought he didn't have to pay. Nice. During my packing/cleaning phase the last two weeks, stumbled across some letter thing my neurotic ex wrote me once. Reading it, in hindsight, the dysfunction just seeps through like the ink on the very paper it's written on. Also, during my illness the other week I was sent home and missed out on the *huge* kickoff meeting for 2003 @ work. Since I wasn't there for it, they saved til yesterday's meeting to announce that I am the North America Top SE for 2002! w00t w00t!!! ----- [ TECH ] [ QUOTE ] "Security is overrated.
