Eat a Roach, Piss Off PETA

The whacky kooks at PETA are taking another stand. Thank God they are advocating for the welfare of Madagascar Hissing Roaches. If you go to a Halloween Fright Fest at Six Flags, you can get unlimited line jumping passes if you eat a giant cockroach. PETA is shedding real tears because the contest is “cruel.”

Meanwhile the Saudis and Chinese are wiping out millions of dogs. Nice to see the kooks have their priorities straight.

From the AP here:

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants Six Flags Great America to scrap its Halloween-themed cockroach-eating promotion.

A spokeswoman for the animal rights organization says the contest at the amusement park’s FrightFest is “gratuitously cruel.”

The park in Gurnee, Ill., is joining other Six Flags parks in offering unlimited line-jumping privileges to anyone who eats a live Madagascar hissing cockroach. The bugs are up to three inches long.

The contest begins next month.

Amusement park officials are defending their menu choice. Great America spokesman Jim Taylor says the bugs are nutritious, high in protein and fat free.

Elephant Jihad in Indonesia?

The smallest of the Asian Elephants, the Sumatran, are being butchered. By Moslems. I’m not saying that the elephant slaughter has anything to do with religious reasons, such as failure to convert to Islam or making any artwork depicting Mohammed. Its just that the people killing the elephants are not Christian or Buddhist.

From The IHT here:

PEKANBARU, Indonesia Four wild elephants have been found dead in the jungles of Indonesia’s Sumatra island, and a conservationist said Friday he suspected they were deliberately poisoned.

Nurcholis Fadli from the conservation group WWF said the animals were found on Thursday in separate places near Segati, a village in Riau province 900 kilometers (600 miles) northwest of the capital Jakarta.

He said bottles of poison usually used to kill wild boars were found near carcasses of three elephants, while the fourth, the only male elephant in the group, was found about six 10 kilometers (6 miles) away.

Fadli said he believed villagers killed the elephants because they had been destroying crops, or because starving elephants had trampled at least four farmers to death last month.

He said he believed the dead elephants were from the same family in Tesso Nilo National Park, where several other elephants were found dead earlier this year.

“There were strong indications that the animals were intentionally poisoned,” Fadli told reporters in Pekanbaru. He urged authorities to take firm action to stop such killings.

He said at least 20 wild elephants have been killed this year.

So is this a Moslem revenge killing? Or is this just poor wildlife management? Sure men are encroaching on elephant habitats, but the government should do more to safely and humanely manage the elephants, not allow its citizens to kill them with pig poison.

And how do I know they are Moslem? Playing the odds, baby. Wiki says that the province is 88% Moslem.

Croc Hunter’s Wake

Australia said goodbye to a national treasure. My heart goes out to the Irwin family- especially Bindy and Bob who will have to grow up without their hero dad.

From the AP:

Friends and fans, including Hollywood stars and Australia’s prime minister, bid farewell to “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin on Wednesday at a service that veered from poignant tributes to belly laughs.

The ceremony was carried live on three national television networks and at least one radio station. Flags on the Sydney Harbor Bridge and throughout Irwin’s home state of Queensland flew at half-staff, and giant television screens were set up for people to watch the service.

Prime Minister John Howard was among the 5,000 people who attended the ceremony at the “Crocoseum,” the small stadium in Irwin’s wildlife park where he regularly put on crocodile-feeding shows.

“Steve Irwin touched the hearts of Australians and touched the hearts of millions around the world in a very special way,” Howard said.

In a recorded video message from New York, Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe said: “It was way too soon for all of us. We have lost a friend, a champion.”

As expected, there was one empty seat at Steve Irwin’s personal stadium symbolically set aside for the late conservationist himself. On the stage sat Irwin’s widow, Terri, and their two children, Bindi, and Bob, 2 all dressed in Irwin’s favorite khaki. It was their first public appearance since Irwin’s death.

Bindi told the crowd at the ceremony that “my Daddy was my hero.”

“He was always there for me when I needed him. He listened to me and taught me so many things. But most of all he was fun,” she said.

There were lighter moments, including several video clips of Irwin’s in-your-face antics that drew laughs and applause from the crowd.

Most popular were out-takes and bloopers from his TV program, showing Irwin falling out of boats, getting bitten by lizards and forgetting his lines.

At the end of the ceremony, Irwin’s utility vehicle, packed with camping gear and his favorite surfboard, was driven from the stadium through an honor guard of Australia Zoo employees.

After the truck left the stadium, a group of employees spelled out Irwin’s catchword “Crikey” in yellow flowers on the ground.

It sounded like a very touching and appropriate tribute to Steve. I will miss him.

But this AP article featured quotes from the son of Jaque Cousteau, and he said that while he liked Steve’s conservationism, he thought that animals and nature should never be touched. Whatever, you French sissy. You are just jealous that everyone forgot about your Dad and you desperately want in on the nature documentary action. To somehow think that mankind is not part of nature and does not play the dominant role on this planet is foolish and a major tenet of eco-worship. Steve knew man’s role in nature.

Saudis Plan to Eliminate Pets

It seems no surprise that a culture and country that treats its women so badly would also pass a decree banning cats and dogs. Dragging a dog behind you in Saudi Arabia is too much like what the infidels do.

Despite the fact that Mohammed liked cats (which is why muslims think that dogs are unclean- Mo was a staunch cat person!), and had several as pets, the Saudis want to punish anyone that is selling animals or appearing with them in public. Next I imagine that they will hold a massive rally in which they slaughter the animals. Where is PETA on this issue?

From the AP here:

Saudi Arabia’s religious police, normally tasked with chiding beating women to cover themselves and ensuring men attend mosque prayers, are turning to a new target: cats and dogs.

The police have issued a decree banning the sale of the pets, seen as a sign of Western influence.

The prohibition on dogs may be less of a surprise, since conservative Muslims despise dogs as unclean. But the cat ban befuddled many, since Islamic tradition holds that the Prophet Muhammad loved cats and even let a cat drink from his ablutions water before washing himself for prayers.

The religious police, known as the Muttawa, have the role of enforcing Saudi Arabia’s strict Islamic code. Its members prowl streets and malls, ensuring unmarried men and women do not mix, confronting women they feel are not properly covered or urging men to go to prayers.

Then what’s the point of dragging a dog behind you?” he added. “This is blind emulation of the infidels.”

Pandas Are Lousy Parents

Its no wonder this animal is quickly going extinct. Pandas refuse to have sex, and if they do, they produce offspring that is ridiculously fragile compared to other animals of comparable size.

In this case, a Panda mom drops her kid and then rolls over on it. This headline says that the Panda Mom is “inconsolable.” I wonder if that means that she will have to be put down? And no word on whether or not the remaining panda baby will be put into protective custody of a more responsible animal. And yes, this is a picture of a baby panda… Not something else.

From Reuters here:

Panda inconsolable after crushing newborn twin

BEIJING (Reuters) -Staff at a zoo in southwest China are in mourning after a sleep-deprived panda dropped her two-day-old baby and crushed it to death, local media reported on Friday.

“It was very sudden, but also unavoidable,” Guo Wei, panda department chief at Chongqing city zoo in the southwestern region of Chongqing, told the Chongqing Business News daily.

Ya Ya, a seven-year-old panda and new mother of twins, “appeared tired” when nursing the younger cub in a patch of grass, the paper said.

Her head sagged, her paws separated and her baby fell to the ground next to her. The panda then rolled on to her side and crushed her baby beneath her.

This animal will not be able to thrive in the wild. As a species, it will only ever thrive with the help of mankind, in zoos.

Here is a video of a panda that was able to get its baby past the newborn phase, but as you can see, it still seems to take no responsibility for the child. Click on the photo or here to see the video.

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.

Chinese Compassion

So if there is an outbreak of a disease in China, its not the fault of state-sponsored medicine and the ineptness that comes with it. No, it must be the fault of the carriers of the disease.

This photo will be disturbing to animal lovers. Maybe PETA can go to China and tell the commies to stop doing this. But they are too busy equating chickens to slavery.

Three people in a Chinese province get rabies. Rather than requiring dog owners to get a rabies vaccine for the dogs, the government offers 63 cents to all owners that voluntarily kill their own dogs. Those that dont kill the dogs? Roving dog-killing bands will kill them for you.

From MSNBC here:

SHANGHAI, China – China slaughtered 50,000 dogs in a government-ordered crackdown after three people died of rabies, sparking unusually pointed criticism in state media Tuesday and an outcry from animal rights activists.

Health experts said the brutal policy pointed to deep weaknesses in the health care infrastructure in China, where only 3 percent of dogs are vaccinated against rabies and more than 2,000 people die of the disease each year.

The five-day slaughter in Mouding county in Yunnan province in southwestern China ended Sunday and spared only military guard dogs and police canine units, state media reported.

Dogs being walked were seized from their owners and beaten to death on the spot, the Shanghai Daily newspaper reported. Led by the county police chief, killing teams entered villages at night creating noise to get dogs barking, then beat the animals to death, the reports said.

Owners were offered 63 cents per animal to kill their own dogs before the teams were sent in, they said.

I am not an animal rights activist at all. This is just pure negligence by China. Rather than requiring animals to be vaccinated, they allow 2000 people to die of rabies. I dont really care what the Chinese do to their dogs. But to allow 2000 deaths due to rabies in unconscionable, especially given the availability of a rabies vaccine.

But PETA thinks its much more wrong to legally control a seal population. PETA doesnt have the balls to stand up to a Communist country. If they tried to have protests over there like they have here, they would be locked away like the Falun Gong.

Idiot Red Riding Hood Mauled by Wolves

A stupid animal lover finally got her comeuppance. Despite warnings by experts, Sandra Piovesan, a supposed Indian, animal lover and local kook kept wolves caged in her backyard. She fed them dead animals that she peeled off of the local highways.

She claimed it was part of her “ethnic heritage” to be at one with the wolves. Now her stupidity and religious beliefs in the environment have made her extinct, along with her beloved pet wolves.

From PittsburghLive.com here:

Westmoreland woman found dead in wolf pen

Humane agents warned a Westmoreland County woman it was only a matter of time before the wolf hybrids she kept as pets turned on her.

Sandra L. Piovesan, whose body was found mauled in the fenced pen where the hybrids were housed on her Salem Township property.

Piovesan, who lived alone, had raised and bred wolf hybrids for several years, sometimes drawing complaints from neighbors to township and state officials.

Everybody told her this would happen, but she just wouldn’t listen,” said Action for Animals Humane Society Officer Elaine Gower. “She was a very likable person, but she was just delusional about their danger, and totally misguided.”

State police Trooper Brian Gross said Piovesan’s body was mauled “pretty bad” by the hybrids.

Gross said humane officers tranquilized the six animals before troopers shot and killed them.

“She loved those wolves just like pets. She told me she was part American Indian, and she told me it was part of her ethnic background,” said Brian Gallagher

The animals began to turn on one another last year.

“They had killed one of the older wolves,” Gower said. “It was a big enclosure, but they were stressed out and crowded, for wolf hybrids. There wasn’t enough room, and they were attacking one another.”

Gieselman said Piovesan fed the hybrids roadkill.

I am very certain that the American Indians did not welcome wolves into their tribes. Wolves were competitors with the Indians for both food and territory. I think Sandra had seen Dances with Wolves too many times.

Gore’s Problem With Hyperbole

Al Gore just can’t make accurate comparisons without using extremism, gloom, or outright lies. How can anyone take him seriously?

He equates a natural 1 degree rise in temperature over a century to cataclism. Cities underwater! Icebergs melting! Hurricanes the size of Australia!

Now he is comparing the extraction of oil in Alberta to a Heroin addict injecting smack between his toes.

Photo shows Alberta Mining Oil, according to Al Gore.

From an Alberta Radio News station here:

ALBERTA/630 CHED – Not all influential Americans are thrilled by the tremendous reserves in the Oil Sands near Fort McMurray. Global warming opponent and former US Vice President Al Gore says what’s happening in northern Alberta is “totally nuts”.

In an interview for next week’s issue of Rolling Stone magazine Gore slams our oil sands mega projects. He says: “For every barrel of oil they extract there, they have to use enough natural gas to heat a family’s home for four days.

And they have to tear up four tons of landscape, all for one barrel of oil”.

Gore compares the extraction process to drug addiction and adds “junkies find veins in their toes.

It seems reasonable, to them, because they’ve lost sight of the rest of their lives”.

Why can’t Gore compare the extraction of oil to forestry and lumbering projects? Or use a sports analogy like a normal person? No, Gore deals in wild extremes because using disgusting images of junkies shooting between their toes are the only way that anyone will pay attention to his message.

The Oil Sands in Alberta may be the second largest deposit of Oil in the World. Getting the oil out of the sands is easier than deep drilling or going offshore with giant oil platforms. The sands are pretty close to the surface, and if an accurate comparison can be made, its more like recovering kitty urine from kitty litter.

But that comparison won’t generate ticket prices for a failing movie.

Washed Up Actress Goes Ape

Daryl Hannah, washed up actress turned environmentalist, lost her mind and climbed a tree in South Central LA in a bid to defy the lawful eviction orders of illegal aliens and gardeners on a private lot that is slated for a warehouse development project.

Hannah was very confused and felt that the moral thing to do would be to stay on the land and prevent the landowner from using his private property to do what he wished with it. Despite the fact that the owner allowed squatters and gardeners to use his private property for nearly 15 years without rent or payment, Hollywood celebrities, illegal aliens and environmental protesters accused the landowner of cruelty.

From the Baltimore Sun here:

Sheriff’s deputies evicted people from an urban community garden to make room for a warehouse Tuesday, touching off a furious protest in which actress Daryl Hannah and others climbed into a walnut tree or chained themselves to concrete-filled barrels. At least 39 people were arrested.

Authorities cut away branches in an effort to remove the “Splash” actress and another tree-sitter.

“I’m very confident this is the morally right thing to do, to take a principled stand in solidarity with the farmers,” Hannah said by cell phone before a fire truck raised officers into the tree.

At daybreak Tuesday, 120 deputies, some with batons and riot helmets, showed up to serve an eviction order that a judge signed last month. Deputies used saws to cut down the chain-link fence around the site.

Inside the garden, firefighters had to cut free protesters who had chained themselves to the walnut tree, barrels filled with concrete and a picnic table. Deputies slowly pulled people out from among the avocados, sunflowers and other produce.

“We’ve made, in the last three years, enough of a donation to those farmers,” he said. “I just want my land back.”

Horowitz accused the farmers of ingratitude, saying they had sued him and their supporters had picketed his home and office.

“I feel that the gardeners have been on the land for 14 years, almost 15 years for free. After 15 years, you say thank you,” he said.

The Hollywood elites tried to raise money to buy the land from Horowitz, but they couldn’t raise the money. I think those celebrities had plenty of money. Why couldn’t they just buy the land? Also, they have huge estates in the city and along the Malibu coast. Couldnt they allow the illegal aliens occupying the land to come and squat on their property and grow cabbage there? Of course not. They don’t really care that much. They want to appear to care and blame the jewish landowner for cruelty instead.

Importance of Dissent

There is a great article in the Denver Post today that says that Global Warming is likely just a bunch of hooey. I have been saying it here for a while that those scientists and scholars that disagree with the eco-religionists on this issue are branded as traitors, fascists and worse. But it seems that the idea that it is okay to publicly disagree on the issue is finally catching on.

An excerpt from David Harsanyi at DenPo:

You’ll often hear the left lecture about the importance of dissent in a free society.

Why not give it a whirl?

Start by challenging global warming hysteria next time you’re at a LoDo cocktail party and see what happens.

So next time you’re with some progressive friends, dissent. Tell ‘em you’re not sold on this global warming stuff.

Back away slowly. You’ll probably be called a fascist.

Don’t worry, you’re not. A true fascist is anyone who wants to take away my air conditioning or force me to ride a bike.

Which in many ways, is really the goal of eco-religionists. They want every man to be at one with nature, living on a farm somewhere, probably a communal farm in which the government gets a generous cut of everything grown. There will be no more livestock, as meat eating is a sin, and animals produce far too much methane and other environmentally unfriendly things. There will be no more motorized transportation for the common man, and no more corporate greed and excess such as fast food, shopping malls and anywhere else that needs to be air-conditioned.

Sorry, I like my food to be sanitary, my home cool in the summer, and I love to drive my gas-guzzling SSR with the top down. Loving those things is not a sin to any god, anywhere. But in an eco-religionist’s world, such views would earn me hard labor in a beet patch.

I’ve Got Your Didgeridoo

It was pitch black at the campground on Saturday night in Gore, VA, and you could really see the stars, which is something special for someone living in the DC Burbs. I left the concert area to go to the tent to get a beer from the cooler, and I used my portable lantern to illuminate ground hazards like holes, puddles, snakes and the like. I put the lantern on my table at my camp while I fished out the cold beer and I heard a faint call. It was a female’s voice.

“Hey! Yeah you with the light!”

I looked around with a little confusion because I couldnt see anything past the glow of my own lantern. The voice sounded like it was coming from a distant camp site that had a camp fire burning merrily. I took a sip of the beer and picked up the lantern and shone it in that direction with a puzzled look on my face. Was someone in trouble?

“Hey, over here,” came the voice again. I walked in the direction of the voice, and out of the darkness loped a scrawny malnourished woman in dirty coveralls, bare feet and the most hideous tangle of unkempt matted hair and dreadlocks I had seen since Jason and his Argonauts defeated the Medusa. Horrified at her appearance, I asked if she was okay or needed help.

She seemed very happy that I had heard her cries in the dark and she asked in an excited voice, “Do you have a didgeridoo?”

I was confused. This dirty waif of a woman called to me from over 100 yards away to ask if I was in possession of an Australian aboriginal musical instrument? Was she kidding me, I demanded to know.

“No, I’m serious, its very important,” she responded, almost hurt. I told her that I thought she was in some kind of trouble and that her request to provide said musical instrument was absurd. She thanked me anyways, and galloped back into the darkness, apparently on a quest for more rare musical instruments.

It struck me as ridiculous that anyone would completely forego modern luxuries such as showers or a hairbrush. Maybe she was living like an aborigine and she wanted the tribal musical instrument to complete her fantasy. But anyone that shuns the healthiest and simplest forms of modernity in the 21st century is more than a little kooky, especially if by doing so it is designed to give others the impression that they are living a special lifestyle. I guarantee that the wild stinky girl had a CD player and a CD collection. She can go to the store for batteries or can find an electrical outlet to play her songs. But she can’t find soap, a hairbrush or a mirror?

Didgeridoo? No, didgeri-don’t.

Gore Movie is Eco-Flop

With most of the Hollywood critics creaming their jeans over Gore’s movie Inconvenient Truth, you would think that people would be flocking to see it. Its the most important film in the history of cinema acording to Reverend Al and his sactimonious crew of eco-religionists, and just the mere purchase of a ticket would earn eco-sinners less time in Carbon Purgatory.

So everyone went to see it, right? Not everyone could get into the sold out theaters showing X-Men 3 and Davinci Code, right? Surely some dummies stuck around to eat popcorn in a dark room and at least accidentally saw Gore’s eco-flick right? Wrong.

According to the weekend Box Office Results, Gore’s Inconvenient Truth came in 19th out of the top 20 movies, beating only Art School Confidential, and it only earned 283 Thousand Dollars. Given the average price of tickets, this translates into less that 35,000 people that wanted to see Gore’s doom-and-gloom version of what is going to happen to the world.

So the real Inconvenient Truth that Gore should get to understand is that no one believes his chicken-little version of science. And if they do, no one wants to pay to see his power point presentation about it. And if his box office take is this low, his DVD sales will be abyssmal too. I guess his movie will go from the silver screen straight to YouTube where it belongs.

Gore and Other Eco-Religious Hypocrites

Over at Hot Air is a great video documenting Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” that he is a hypocrite who demands that lowly commoners go without or make do with less, while he and his eco-religious bishops, cardinals and other annointed “GreenMasters” are allowed to burn as much fuel as they please.

The reason it costs me more money to fuel my car is the insistence of liberals in Congress to not get more oil out of US territories, not build more refineries, and ridiculous regulations regarding the contents and mixture of the fuel. Oh, and the taxes on gasoline is the real sin.

What Gore Calls Pollution, We Call Life

Two great commercials are airing in major cities to refute global warming alarmists and eco-religionists who call for reductions on the use of energy because it supposedly will lead to a global catastrophe.

Its funny, but Pat Robertson today said that God told him that a tsunami will hit the United States. Eco-Religionists like Al Gore have also predicted an apocolyptic future. What is the difference?

Animal on Animal Crime Goes Unchecked

At a Dutch Zoo, a bear viciously assaulted a monkey, then in what can only be a hate crime, dismembered the monkey and ate it. Police have yet to charge any animal in the crime.

Zookeepers are going to be fired over this. Somehow they got their critters mixed up. “You got Bear on my Monkey! You got Monkey on my Bear!”

From the AP here:

Bears Eat Monkey in Front of Zoo Visitors

Mon May 15, 10:52 PM ET

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands – Bears killed and ate a monkey in a Dutch zoo in front of horrified visitors, witnesses and the zoo said Monday. In the incident Sunday at the Beekse Bergen Safari Park, several Sloth bears chased the Barbary macaque into an electric fence, where it was stunned.

It recovered and fled onto a wooden structure, where one bear pursued and mauled it to death.

The park confirmed the killing in a statement, saying: “In an area where Sloth bears, great apes and Barbary macaques have coexisted peacefully for a long time, the harmony was temporarily disturbed during opening hours on Sunday.”

The bear then brought the animal to a concrete den, where three bears ate it.

The zoo said it “usually wasn’t possible” for keepers to intervene when an animal killed another.

The park plans now to move the Barbary macaques which are large monkeys but often inaccurately called “Barbary Apes” to another part of the park, it said.

Monkey: Its what’s for dinner.

Indonesian Volcano Erupts; Bush to Blame

From the AP Here:

YOGYAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) – Indonesia ordered the immediate evacuation Saturday of thousands of people from the slopes of Mount Merapi volcano, warning of an imminent eruption as the mountain oozed fiery lava and belched clouds of black ash.

Hundreds of women, children and elderly were taken in buses and trucks to relocation centers set up at local schools and government buildings.

Thousands more were stranded in the cramped quarters of the Yogyakarta soccer stadium with no apparant way to escape, and there are already reports of cannibalism, rape and dead bodies stacked 16 high. “I blame Bush for the horrible lack of preparedness,” said Iniki Abu-Molattu, who evacuated to the stadium with just his clothes and his Koran to await further instructions.

Authorities put the region on highest alert after they observed two days of steady lava flow from the 9,700-foot peak on the island of Java.

Many people had been evacuated from homes closest to the crater prior to Saturday, but thousands who live further down the fertile slopes refused to leave behind precious livestock and crops. Officials have said as many as 7,000 people still needed to go.

Merapi is about 10 miles from Yogyakarta, a city of 1 million. The volcano came back to life in recent weeks after years of relative inactivity. It is theorized by Yogyakarta scientists that Bush is using his space rays that create tsunamis and hurricanes to bring the volcano to life as part of his war against Islam.

Al Gore has argued that the volcanic activity is increasing because the Bush administration refused to sign the Kyoto protocols that outlaw the volcanic emissions of sulfur and carbon dioxide.

Many people who live in the mountain’s shadow believe that spirits watch over the peak and will warn them of an eruption.

Although most Indonesians are Muslim, many also follow animist beliefs and worship ancient spirits. Often at full moons, people trek to crater rims and throw in rice, jewelry and live animals to appease the volcanoes.

It last erupted in 1994, sending out a searing cloud of gas that burned 60 people to death. About 1,300 people were killed when it erupted in 1930.

Give a Hoot- Don’t Be Eco-Terrorists

Other news articles are highlighting the upcoming movie, Hoot as a training manual for Eco-Terrorists. The basic theme of the movie appears to be, if you hate corporations and love animals, then be a vandal.”

I originally wrote about this movie here.

New Movie Called ‘Soft Core Eco-terrorism’ for Kids
By Marc Morano

(CNSNews.com) – Three middle school children band together, sabotage a construction site, gag a land developer and take him hostage. But their criminal conduct, aimed at saving the habitat of burrowing owls from “greedy land developers” isn’t reality-based.

It’s the subject of a new movie that one entertainment reviewer labels “soft core eco-terrorism” for kids.

The movie, “Hoot,” opens Friday May 5. It features environmentally conscious teenage characters vandalizing heavy machinery by stealing parts off of them and flattening tires in order to hinder a development project.

The teens, who ultimately succeed in halting the project, spray paint a police car that is providing security, trespass, rip up surveyors’ stakes, place alligators in portable toilets, release poisonous Cottonmouth snakes at the construction site and evade the police. The teenagers also debate stealing the construction trailer and sinking it into a nearby canal to further delay the project.

The film’s trailer urges viewers to “break the rules” and features one of the lead characters saying “You gotta start thinking like an outlaw.”

The burrowing owl featured in Hoot is not included on the national endangered or threatened species list, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Instead, the owls are listed as “species of special concern” by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

As a reminder, its very stupid to stand in front of a moving bulldozer. Just ask Rachel Corrie’s fanatical friends and parents.

Al Gore is an Eco-Religionist

And the failed politician even stars in a new movie all about this religion of worshiping the Earth and its Eco-System. The Movie is not out yet, but the trailer is here. Gore serves as the Preacher for this religion, and he tells everyone how we have all sinned by using nuclear power and oil. And corporations are evil of course.

Newsweek celebrates its 31 year anniversary on Climate Change alarmism over a probable pending Ice Age by doing a Puff Piece on Reverend Al and this stupid movie.

The trailer says, If you love your planet… If you love your children… You have to see this film. Its a bit disingenuous to phrase it that way, I mean, after all, who doesn’t love the planet, which is life, and who doesn’t love kids?

And of course, it has deep, ominous crashing sounds. And shots of giant cooling towers from an unknown Nuclear plant encroaching on some tiny neighborhood. I think its photoshopped. And isn’t Nuclear energy non-polluting to the atmosphere, which would never contribute to the mythical “Global Climate Change?” But of course, they have to show nuclear energy too, because in this religion, any use of energy is a sin, and Nuclear energy is the biggest sin of all.

The rest of the trailer goes on to try to blame Bush for Katrina, and for some reason, the trailer also shows a nuclear bomb going off. Is this supposed to be a movie, or is this a really long campaign commercial?

My prediction is that this movie is long on “problems” and offers no solutions. What does Reverend Al want all of us energy sinners to do? Vote for him so he can ruin our economy by forcing us to revert to an Agrarian Society? Didn’t Pol Pot try that with the Cambodians? How did that work out?
