Navy Spy Convicted; Gets to Live
Mar 5th
Paul Hall betrayed his country after he converted to Islam and passed Navy secrets to communications experts in a terrorism network. The jury found Hassan Abujihaad, aka Paul Hall guilty.
From the AP here:
A former Navy sailor was convicted Wednesday of leaking details about ship movements to suspected terrorism supporters.
Jurors convicted Hassan Abu-Jihaad, 32, of Phoenix of providing material support to terrorists and disclosing classified national defense information on the second day of deliberations.
The American-born Muslim convert formerly known as Paul R. Hall faces up to 25 years in federal prison when he is sentenced May 23.
Abu-Jihaad, who was a signalman aboard the USS Benfold, was accused of passing along details that included the makeup of his Navy battle group, its planned movements and a drawing of the group’s formation when it was to pass through the dangerous Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf on April 29, 2001.
Hall sympathized with the enemy and admitted disclosing military intelligence. Secretly recorded phone calls were played during the trial in which Abu-Jihaad spoke of “fresh meals” and “cold meals” that an FBI informant said were references to intelligence related to military bases. A “fresh meal” referred to useful information, while “cold meal” was code for outdated intelligence.
They should hang the traitor. Previous entry here.

Mar 5th
With great fanfare, the Red-Shirted thug dictator of Venezuela sent in the Venezuelan Aircraft Carrier, the Simon Bolivar to the coastal waters of Colombia in his latest move to threaten his neighboring country.
From Babalu Blog here:
Questions regarding the aircraft carrier’s unorthodox design, however, were answered with bravado instead of technical explanations. Said Chavez:
“It will strike fear into the hearts of those Colombian capitalist pigs and show the world how communist technology surpasses any technology dreamed of by the imperialist dogs. Together with the help of my Cuban comrades, we have pooled their accumulated experience in efficient and practical design with my inimitable vision to create a true masterpiece that is a shining example of the military power and technological brilliance of 21st century socialism. Think long and hard, lap dogs of the empire to the north–provoke me once again and I will not hesitate to unleash upon you the fury of this fully operational warship!”

Mar 5th
I highly encourage all child molesters to do their part by “going green” and becoming a state of complete carbon neutrality.
From KLTV here:
A man jumped to his death from a courthouse balcony yesterday, hours after being convicted of child molestation.
Carlos Tello was facing more than 20 years in prison when he jumped from a ninth-floor balcony of the courthouse in Santa Ana. Authorities say a suicide note was tucked into his clothing.
A jury had convicted Tello of repeatedly molesting a young girl between 1989 and 1994.
A deputy district attorney tried to have Tello’s bail revoked and have him taken into custody immediately after the verdicts were announced.

Mar 5th
How do you get a goat to walk tightrope with a monkey on its back? And how do you get it to stand on a big gulp cup on that tight rope? And how the hell do you get the monkey to do handstands on the goat’s head while all of this is going on? Hit the goat with the stick, of course.
In the crowd, they are enjoying kabobs made from the previous goat that fell. Either that or they feed it to the lions at this zoo.

Mar 4th
This video is awesome for three reasons. First, it’s Weird Al, and I’ve been a fan of his since I was in High School. Second, the music styling is a parody of CAKE, one of my favorite bands. Finally, the cartoon is animated by John Kricfalusi from Ren and Stempy. Put it all together, and you have a hilarious and catchy original song about pursuing the perfect girl.

Mar 4th
I was once a powerful Paladin who had acquired a “Vorpal” sword that, if I rolled a 20, was an automatic decapitation against my opponent. Sadly, like all D&D characters, he met an ignoble, albeit brave end. He went up against a green dragon and failed his saving throw for poison.
Gary Gygax, one of the creators of the masterful role playing game of Dungeons and Dragons died. His invention allowed for millions of geeks to waste their Friday nights for more than three decades. He will be missed.

Mar 4th
Ever notice that new moms don’t hang out at clubs with you anymore? They seem forgetful or absent-minded when the baby’s not around? USA Today calls it “Momnesia.”
From the USAToday here:
Scientists agree. While researchers say they can’t explain all the ways motherhood affects a woman’s memory, they agree there’s a pattern.
Many moms feel mentally foggy in the days after delivery. And they notice that the details of labor and delivery, which are scenes one might expect to be seared into a woman’s consciousness, began to slowly slip away.
Few parents enjoy feeling so scatterbrained, says neuropsychiatrist Louann Brizendine, author of The Female Brain. And momnesia can be dangerous, such as when moms forget to fasten the straps in an infant’s car seat. Yet momnesia may give modern mothers an evolutionary advantage, Brizendine says.
“It turns you into someone who serves that little infant, to keep it alive no matter what,” says Brizendine, founder of the Women’s and Teen Girls’ Mood and Hormone Clinic at the University of California in San Francisco. “Other parts of your brain that are usually on high alert are sort of taken offline.”
Women may be reluctant to talk about their memory problems for fear of being judged poorly at work, especially because returning to a demanding job puts even more stress on the brain, Brizendine says.
Speaking as someone who has lived around a new Mom, I have seen this to a certain extent in my wife, but only so far as the memories of the trials of childbirth slipping away. The rest of this article goes on to suggest that new Moms are chronically forgetful, zombie-like creatures that just provide boobage to the babies. That has not been my observation at all. Maybe its because of the help I provide at night with feedings or maybe its because she didn’t return to work after delivery, but she runs a tight ship around the house and doesn’t seem to suffer this curse of forgetfulness.
But there is a simple explanation for the phenomena- the female mind rewires itself to deal with new priorities and new responsibilities.

Mar 4th
One of the next Hollywood celebs to take a dirt nap will likely be Steve-O of Jackass fame. He is a drug addict and does not care about his own personal safety too much.
But I think its hilarious that he tried to get uppity with his next door neighbor and the neighbor laid the smack down on him with an old fashioned “citizen’s arrest.” Cops searched Steve-O and arrested him for drug possession. Maybe this will serve as a wakeup call? Nah….
From the AP here:
Steve-O of “Jackass” fame was arrested for investigation of vandalism and possession of a controlled substance at his Hollywood home. Police arrested the 33-year-old at 5 a.m. Monday after a neighbor made a citizen’s arrest following a dispute over a fence.
Steve-O, born Stephen Glover, was booked at a Hollywood police station on suspicion of vandalism and an outstanding traffic warrant. He was also booked for investigation of possessing a controlled substance having a small quantity of drugs on him.

Mar 3rd
An annoying 15 year old girl (aren’t they all annoying at that age?) got into a confrontation on the school bus and would not STFD and STFU. The driver was calling for security to come to the bus to take care of the loudmouth punk, but before they showed up, things spiraled out of control. The teenage girl in this surveillance video needs to be spanked, her mouth washed out with soap and the goopy eyeliner washed off.
From GMA here:
The police have recommended to the Maricopa County attorney that charges be filed. They want disorderly conduct charges to be filed against all four people involved. In addition, they also said aggravated assault charges should be filed against Sullivan and the unruly 15-year-old student. However, it’s up to the county prosecutor to determine whether charges are warranted.
The Higley Unified School District backs its 54-year-old bus driver and sent letters to parents Wednesday saying it is conducting its own investigation.
“The district is standing by their bus driver, by their employee. The driver was following the training she received and Arizona law. It’s a situation where the student was not following the direction of the bus driver,” the district said in a statement.
As I mentioned in a previous post, my Mom drove a school bus for many years and I think she would have maced any rowdy bitch that tried to get in her face. But as this video proves, riding the school bus is just one more thing about school that should be avoided.

Mar 3rd
Meet Peter Albert. Pete’s a convicted child sex offender living off the land in urban Anchorage, Alaska. He can’t get a job and can’t find a home, so he does what any other creepy little dude would do- attack someone with a spork.
Maybe he was looking for a nice warm jail cell. He certainly found one with this stunt.
Plastic dinnerware is a threat to mankind.
From the AP here:
Anchorage police have arrested a suspect in an armed robbery. Now they’re trying to determine if the weapon involved was a spork — a hybrid of a spoon and fork found at fast-food restaurants.
Police said a suspect tried to grab a man’s watch on Monday night. The victim said the assailant swung a pocketknife at him but four parallel scratches on the victim’s side make police suspect the wound was administered with a spork.
Peter Albert, 52, was arrested a few blocks from the scene and charged with robbery. Police said Albert was intoxicated and carrying a small pocketknife as well as a backpack containing a fast food bag and sporks.
Albert is being held at the Anchorage jail with bail set at $5,000.

Mar 3rd
Commie Stooge Hugo Chavez threatened Columbia with war because Columbia launched an airstrike that killed terrorists hiding in Ecuador. Both Venezuela and Ecuador pulled their ambassadors and closed embassies in Columbia, usually the first sign of a pending war.
From the AP here:
Venezuela and Ecuador ordered troops to their borders with Colombia, sharply raising tensions after Colombia killed a top rebel leader on Ecuadorean soil.
President Hugo Chavez on Sunday promised Venezuela would respond militarily if Colombia violates its border, where he ordered tanks as well as thousands of troops. He also ordered closed Venezuela’s embassy in Bogota.
Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa said he deployed troops to the border while also withdrawing his government’s ambassador from Bogota and expelling Colombia’s top diplomat.
Chavez called the killing of rebel leader and spokesman Raul Reyes and 16 other guerrillas on Saturday an attack by a “terrorist state,” saying it shows Colombian President Alvaro Uribe is a “criminal.”
“Mr. Defense Minister, move 10 battalions to the border with Colombia for me, immediately — tank battalions. Deploy the air force,” Chavez said during his weekly TV and radio program. “We don’t want war, but we aren’t going to permit the U.S. empire, which is the master (of Colombia) … to come divide us.”
“This could be the start of a war in South America,” Chavez said. He warned Uribe: “If it occurs to you to do this in Venezuela, President Uribe, I’ll send some Sukhois” — Russian warplanes recently bought by Venezuela.
“This is saber-rattling, trying to make a point,” said Adam Isacson, an analyst for the Washington-based Center for International Policy. By holding a moment of silence in honor of the slain rebels during his program, Chavez “has all but said that the FARC will be safe in Venezuela, and that the Venezuelan armed forces would respond to a similar Colombian incursion into Venezuelan territory.”
Ecuador wouldn’t do anything about the rebels that were attacking Columbia, so Columbia took care of it themselves. Now Chavez has declared that he liked the terrorists so much he would harbor them and go to war to protect them. Can you say “monumental fail?”

Mar 3rd
This is a case of eco-religious extremists going the extra mile for their stupid religion of earth worship. And I really hope they are rounded up and dumped in jail for a very long time.
From KATU here:
Four large homes are burning at a “Street of Dreams” model home development north of Woodinville WA, and a sign saying ELF was left at the scene. The Street of Dreams is an annual showcase of luxury homes in the Seattle area.
ELF or Earth Liberation Front has claimed responsibility for other arsons, including one at the University of Washington in 2001 for which a woman is now on trial in Tacoma.
Police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are investigating.
One home is a total loss and two homes are substantially damaged. Fires were set at a total of six homes.
This is what you get when you donate money to PETA. You don’t get labs shutdown that do testing on fuzzy bunnies. You get terrorists running around setting firebombs. Check out this article on 7 things you should know about PETA.
