Death of a Personal Hero

Steve Irwin was a personal hero of mine. I loved the way he was able to take his position at his zoo and parlay that into a worldwide media conglomerate that allowed he and his loving family take exotic and beautiful vacations.

His undying love for his wife Terri and his tenderness with his family was one of his trademarks. He was a real animal lover, but not an overbearing animal rights and environmental activist. With his straightforward approach to animal handling, he was able to teach whole generations about the beauty in nature and educate millions on animal rescue.

He died in a freak encounter with a stingray. I am heartbroken, but his family will miss him so much more, and my heart goes out to them.

From the Herald Trib here:

Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin killed by a stingray

CAIRNS, Australia — Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the “Crocodile Hunter,” was killed Monday by a stingray while filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef. He was 44.

Irwin was killed by a stingray barb to the heart on Batt Reef, off the remote resort town of Port Douglas in northeastern Queensland state, his wildlife park Australia Zoo said in a statement.

Crew members aboard Irwin’s boat, Croc One, called emergency services in the nearest city, Cairns, and administered CPR as they rushed the boat to nearby Low Isle to meet a rescue helicopter. Medical staff pronounced Irwin dead a short time later, the statement said.

Every Knee Shall Bow and Every Tongue Confess…

That Global warming is real and caused by mankind and the US’s refusal to sign Kyoto.

If not, members of the media, and the looney worshippers of Eco-religion will try to equate you to denying that the Holocaust took place.

The media insists that the debate is over. Every scientist is in agreement. Global warming is a catastrophe. Bah!

The media and the Democrats and the Eco-worshippers are just cranking up the rhetoric. Lets see, six million jews died in the Holocaust. No one has died due to Global Warming. There is evidence that the Holocaust took place. There are the bones. The photos. The missing people. And of course, the mass graves. But for global warming, there are a few photos that show some receding glaciers. But no dead bodies. No extinctions of animals. No rising tides.

Do Eco-worshippers try to equate polar bears and penguins to Jews? How does a 1 degree temperature change over the past century equate to the systematic attempt at genocide?

This summer has been milder than the last few summers. Only one week this summer, at the beginning of August, was it uncomfortably hot. Today is the first of September and already there is a chill in the air. There is a tropical depression, formerly known as “Ernesto” blowing some water out in the parking lot.

Global Warming is not caused by mankind, nor by the American policies dealing with the environment. To say otherwise is extremist. And to try to equate Global Warming to a real crime in Germany is hate speech. In Islam, if you speak out against their religion, it is a crime. I guess Eco-religionsts want to do the same thing- criminalize those that speak out against their religion.

Islamic Man Murders Daughter for Wearing Sexy Jeans

Not only is Islam extremely misogynistic, but here is a story about how a 20-year old girl did what most young girls do- smoke cigarettes and wear cute jeans.

Her Islamic father was outraged, so he went into the back of the home and dug a grave. Then, with the help of his son-in-law, his brother and another man, they slit the young girls throat with a kitchen knife and dumped her bloody body into the garden grave.

Did this happen in Saudi Arabia? Nope. Iran? Nope. It was in Italy.

They did it to preserve the family’s “honor.”

They did it because, according to the dead woman’s Mom, “She would not behave.”

Karol has the rest of this sad, enraging story at her blog here.

When Did Rock ‘N Roll Become So Gay??!

Rock and Roll is finally dead. There are hardly any good bands worth listening to, and judging by the MTV Music Awards, only the gayest bands and the girliest men play rock and roll.

I watched the horror that was the MTV Music Awards last night. It was poorly put together, directed by MTV interns and had many stupid stunts and skits.I did enjoy the live performance of OK Go, Beyonce’s dance number, and Shakira was hot too.

Christina Aguilera was stunning in her costume and performance. But none of these female singers were as girly as the members of AFI, Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, 30 Seconds to Mars, and of course, Al Gore.

Seriously, I could beat up all of those guys in a fight. None of them have an ounce of testosterone under all that eyeliner and emo haircuts. Where are the more manly men of Rock Years gone by? I was truly embarrassed for Lou Reed, who must have lost a bet to be a presenter at the awards ceremony. He looked ashamed to be on stage with these little sissies.

Axl Rose, who is a maniac, said on stage that he wasn’t going to show up, except he met the band the Killers and decided they were worth his time to be there for a presentation. Doubtless he would have wrung the scrawny necks of the band members below:

AFI is doubtless the winner of the Gay Rockstar Award. The lead singer is undergoing a genderbending metamorphosis.

Jared Leto and 30 Seconds to Mars. Wimps, all of them.

The mascara was running for Panic at the Disco as they cried during their acceptance speech. When they turn around you can see the whale tails from their thongs.

Here is Fall Out Boy. These wussies had a couple of hits this past year, but I still have no idea what their lyrics are.

Even the guys from Jackass were onstage doing homo-erotic playslapping. Thank God there was some manly rap stars on the show, along with The Rock to keep me from feeling like I had an attack of the cooties.
