N.Y. Wants Trans Fats Off Restaurant Menus

You say you don't believe that government can get too big, too intrusive? Sure, it's a voluntary effort now, but how long before it becomes policy?

What business does any government, much less a city government, have in dictating how food is cooked. Granted, if they're cooking in rat poison, that's one thing. But we're talking about margarines and frying oils here.

Obviously, New Yorkers are so stupid, they need their government to intervene on their behalf.

Nanny government. Want some?

Man dies after 50 hours of computer games

Ahh, another mark in the "Win" column for the ol' gene pool. What a goofball - sheesh.

Still waiting

For someone in the MSM to jump on the Air America fiasco. I'm sure, as Michelle Malkin has pointed out, that we won't hear a peep until the day Air America goes completely under, and then it'll just be a RIP report.

Officials Monitored Hijackers Before 9/11 Attacks

You know, the libs are constantly saying that the chickens are now coming home to roost, that we are only reaping what was sown by previous administrations in our current war against the terror mongers.

Well, I hate to agree with them, but they are right. We are reaping what was sown by Bill Clinton, in every respect. Every time Bill tucked tail and ran from the terrorists, they gained strength. Now we come to find out that during Bill Clinton's time in the White House, several of the 9/11 terrorists were identified by the military and the military attempted to get the FBI to roll them up. But, thanks to "the wall" erected by Jamie Gorelick, the information could not be acted upon, and after all - the terrorists had green cards and we wouldn't want to invade their civil liberties.

"Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said the Sept. 11 commission (search) looked into the matter during its investigation into government missteps leading to the attacks and chose not to include it in the final report."

I'm sure the fact that Jamie "the wall" was on the 9/11 commission had nothing to do with it.

Brittney Spears IS fat!

No comment required. I wonder if the Tattler will get the same number of hits from this report? :0

Michael Yon : Online Magazine

Wow. Found this link through DC and it's awesome. I've just spend the past 2 hours reading through Michael's blog and it's stunning.

You are forced to ask yourself why a freelancer on the front lines in Iraq posts dispatches that are quite different than what you hear from the MSM.

In spite of all the bad press pro players get, this is one of the best things I've read about in a while. Very cool.

American Hunters and Shooters Association

I sent these turds a little love note. Quoth I:

Understand this: the Second Amendment is not about your right to hunt Bambi. It's about the right of a free people to defend themselves against whatever foe they may face, be it a burglar, or (heaven forbid) their government.

You're not fooling anyone.

Chicago Tribune | About that pistol in the cedar chest

Hey, Chuck: don't be such a pussy.

E. City police to take aim with new Glock firearms

The guns carry a 15-round magazine and are guaranteed to last 60,000 shots.

Nice to see a police department with a practical attitude. Actually, most of the PDs around here are Glock-oriented. 60,000 rounds is a nice, conservative estimate. Heck, I'd pay a good price with one that only had that many rounds. I think my 17 has around 100,000 rounds by now, and I've never even replaced the springs on it. I think my mags need some, though.

.357 Sig? Ow. My spleen.

Bottom Falling Out Of Thong Market

Today sales of thongs remain firm among women aged 25 and under.
But demand from older women has started to sag, new figures show.

Real mature, guys. They probably thought this was HI-larious when they were writing it.

An actual ESPN headline. No idea what it means, mostly because it's Euro-soccer crap. But it's funny.

Alert over fears of third attack

British Transport Police have been targeting specific ethnic groups for 'intelligence-led' stop-and-searches as part of their heightened security measures.
BTP Chief Constable Ian Johnston said that his officers would not 'waste time searching old white ladies'.

You know, the Brits may not be very "politically correct," but they'll damned sure get the job done.

There might be a very practical lesson to be learned here.

Unidentified Sea Creature Found After Typhoon

Gojira!!!Oh, wait. That's Japan. Sorry.

Okay, I'm gonna follow up on this one. What heck is it? It's 12 meters long, it's got a spine, some HAIR, and orange stripes. If it's a crocodile, that's one big mother of a croc. Almost 40 feet?!?

Of course, this is China's news source. It's probably as reliable as Pravda.

Air America fiasco

The silence is deafening. There's been a story brewing quietly under the radar concerning the left's last great hope in Air America. Short of some paltry coverage in the New York media, and a brief spot on CNN where the bulk of the time was spent trying to discredit the blogosphere's coverage of this fiasco, it's been damn quiet out there.

In case you haven't heard, and I'm betting your chances are pretty good you haven't:

"The Bronx News has learned, through informed sources, that the diversion of hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club in Co-op City to the liberal Air America Radio is at the center of the city’s probe of corruption at the local club.

The money, which was reportedly paid to Air America as a loan, was supposed to be paid back with interest, two unidentified informed sources told the News. One source added that Air America officials, led by an official of the Gloria Wise Club, agreed to help the local club by publicizing its activities.

To date, no indictments have been handed down in the New York City Department of Investigation’s ongoing probe of the Gloria Wise Club’s reported transfer of funds to Air America."


Now, considering that Rush has been getting the anal exam for his drug addiction I find it odd that good ole Air America "borrowing" money from the Boys and Girls club is a non-story. But oh yeah, I forget, there's no bias, right?

Two South Texas schools called "persistently dangerous"

But they have lots of sunshine there in South Texas.

Under federal guidelines, the Texas Education Agency must designate a school as persistently dangerous if it reported three or more mandatory expulsion incidents per one-thousand students in each of the previous three years.

Those incidents include the use or possession of a weapon on campus, arson, murder, sex crimes, aggravated assaults and felony drug and alcohol violations.

The schools are the W-A Todd Ninth Grade Campus in the Donna Independent School District and United South High School in Laredo's United Independent School District.

Ninth Grade Campus???
