how jedi are you? :: by lawrie malen

I knew it!  :-)

An epilepsy web site was compromised with harmful images with the intent to cause epileptic viewers to have seizures, etc. 
What kind of demented mind would do something like this?

Pretty disgusting behavior if you ask me.
I hope they catch the sonzabitches responsible.

Isn't it interesting as we get further into the year, there are more and more items we're "not supposed" to discuss in terms of Barack Hussein Obama?

For example:  We're not allowed to talk about his family, his race, his complete lack of leadership/experience, we cannot talk about his relationship with the Reverend Wright, his church, and ultimately, we cannot call him a liberal (Democrat). 

So what exactly are we "allowed" to talk about in terms of Barack Hussein Obama? 
Anyone?

It's like if we ask him anything he or his campaign don't approve of, we will be accused of being racist.  Am I wrong, or am I just talking out my of butt?

You are contributing to global warming climate change. It just gets worse and worse with these liberal morons, doesn't it?.
First we're going to tax cow farts, and now this.

GENEVA (Reuters) - Obesity contributes to global warming, too.

Obese and overweight people require more fuel to transport them and the food they eat, and the problem will worsen as the population literally swells in size, a team at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine says.

This adds to food shortages and higher energy prices, the school's researchers Phil Edwards and Ian Roberts wrote in the journal Lancet on Friday.

"We are all becoming heavier and it is a global responsibility," Edwards said in a telephone interview. "Obesity is a key part of the big picture."

At least 400 million adults worldwide are obese. The World Health Organization (WHO) projects by 2015, 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese.

In their model, the researchers pegged 40 percent of the global population as obese with a body mass index of near 30. Many nations are fast approaching or have surpassed this level, Edwards said.

BMI is a calculation of height to weight, and the normal range is usually considered to be 18 to 25, with more than 25 considered overweight and above 30 obese.

The researchers found that obese people require 1,680 daily calories to sustain normal energy and another 1,280 calories to maintain daily activities, 18 percent more than someone with a stable BMI.

Because thinner people eat less and are more likely to walk than rely on cars, a slimmer population would lower demand for fuel for transportation and for agriculture, Edwards said.

This is also important because 20 percent of greenhouse gas emissions stem from agriculture, he added.

The next step is quantifying how much a heavier population is contributing to climate change, higher fuel prices and food shortages, he added.

"Promotion of a normal distribution of BMI would reduce the global demand for, and thus the price of, food," Edwards and Roberts wrote.

You know, one has to wonder how far these global warming climate change peddlers will go. 
So, do you still think I am crazy when I said a while back:

"That's right, we'll all wear an electronic sensor apparatus over our nose (with a wired sensor to our anal cavity to record fart emissions - after all, aren't farts contributing to global warming/climate change?) which will keep a precise record as to how much air we are breathing (and farting out) so we can better keep track of how much we should tax the American people."

Well, cow farts are being taxed, and now it's been revealed that being fat contributes to global warming. 
This global warming climate change madness just won't end, will it?

It's more than an obsession with these people, it's become an entire religion.

This guy cannot be serious. The man does not even know the number of states which make up this great nation of ours.
But then again, we are talking about Barack Hussein Obama.

Here's the real kicker:  He wants to be the next President of the United States of America.
There's your change ... to stupidity.

But Bush is the "miserable failure" according to the liberal Democrats. 
What a joke you liberals are.

The U.S. Congress approval ratings tie record lows.  It is especially amusing when you realize it took President Bush six years to reach a 24% approval rating, while Congress got to 18% in only 16 months.

Keep up the good work, Democrats.
Bwahahahaha!

Yeah, I know,  I've posted this video before, but it's just too damn good to post only once; especially given how incredibly futile Obama's plan(s) all sound.
Be scared.  Be very, very scared if this grotesque, sorry ass of an excuse of a Presidential candidate gets elected to the White House.

Yeah, end the war, Barack.  Show the rest of the world what another Vietnam looks like.
Unproven missile defense systems?  You mean, like the one which shot down a satellite, right Barack?
"I will not weaponize space."  You won't do what China is already doing, Barack?  What a complete moron.
You will seek a world with no nuclear weapons, Barack?  Good luck with that.  In fact, when Mahmoud Ahmadinejad continues his nuclear weapons program, you can have the United Nations draft a very carefully worded letter of opposition to him. That'll fix Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's ass!  After all, we all know how useful tits on a bull the United Nations is.

Nothing like weakening the United States so the rest of the world can play "catch up" with us, eh, Barack? 

Like I said before, "change" is definitely on the horizon, except it's not going to the the "change" you imbeciles who voted for him are counting on.

No pun intended. I saw this coming a long time ago.  Can you believe this?  It's almost like a nightmare, the only difference between this and a nightmare is we can wake up from the nightmare. 

Via Fox News:

Flat Tax?

Farmers in Estonia are facing a new gas tax. But it might not be what you're thinking. Cattle ranchers in the Eastern European country have started receiving notices that they will be taxed for methane gas emissions from their cows.

Cows produce large quantities of methane gas through belching and flatulence when they digest grass. Some environmental estimates say that cows account for 15-25 percent of the world's gas emissions and a single cow can produce 350 liters of methane and up to 1,500 liters of carbon dioxide in a single say.

A spokesman for the country's main opposition party — the People's Union of Estonia — calls the new tax a "huge surprise." There is no other European Union country that imposes a flatulence tax on its farmers.

Oh yeah, before I forget, I'll call out this one as well:  Someone will come back and say "You got that from Fox News, so it's just another conservative lie!"

Did I not say global warming climate change was nothing more than an excuse to gain more political power and money?  I also said it here, and here.
Chalk yet another one up for me. This is what the insane madness of liberalism buys you, folks.

Consider all of this a big "I told you so."

On a related note, this piece is damn interesting while we're on the subject of cow farts.  Here are a couple snippets:

Meet the world's top destroyer of the environment. It is not the car, or the plane,or even George Bush: it is the cow.

A United Nations report has identified the world's rapidly growing herds of cattle as the greatest threat to the climate, forests and wildlife. And they are blamed for a host of other environmental crimes, from acid rain to the introduction of alien species, from producing deserts to creating dead zones in the oceans, from poisoning rivers and drinking water to destroying coral reefs.

I knew you would like that one.  It gets better:

The 400-page report by the Food and Agricultural Organisation, entitled Livestock's Long Shadow, also surveys the damage done by sheep, chickens, pigs and goats. But in almost every case, the world's 1.5 billion cattle are most to blame. Livestock are responsible for 18 per cent of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, more than cars, planes and all other forms of transport put together.

Burning fuel to produce fertiliser to grow feed, to produce meat and to transport it - and clearing vegetation for grazing - produces 9 per cent of all emissions of carbon dioxide, the most common greenhouse gas. And their wind and manure emit more than one third of emissions of another, methane, which warms the world 20 times faster than carbon dioxide.

Warning!  Cow farts are destroying the environment!  I have me an idea!  Let's punish the farmers out there with a "windfall cow population tax."  That's right, if a farmer is found to have "too many" cows on his/her farm, then he/she will be punished with the "windfall cow population tax" by taking away their profits. After all, we want to punish the oil companies, why not punish farmers, too?  What's the difference.

Don't think it will not happen?  Then you don't know liberals like I do.

H/T to Rants and Other Refinements

This guy has got it all right, in fact, he hit the nail directly on the head.  One part of his post particularly got my attention:

2007: Now that Global Warming Hoax has been swallowed by the media, United Nations, and the populous at large, barking moonbat Ellen Goodman of the Boston Globe pronounces all people who disagree with Algore’s notions as akin to Holocaust Deniers. David Roberts of Grist Magazine proclaimed, “we should have war crimes trials for these bastards (scientists who show contradictory data to Algore’s notions) -- some sort of climate Nuremberg”. Get that? All those who disagree are like Nazi propagandists and should be put on trial for their lives.

Talk about dealing in absolutes....sheesh.
