DEAR DEMS, ENJOY THE LOYALTY

SWINE FLU: WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, why can't you media types simply REPORT the news instead of hyping an agenda? The motto of the US media is "How Can We Scare You Today?" People are dying of the flu in third-world countries because of bad hygiene and sanitation, NOT because the virus is so freakin' deadly.

If you do happen to get the flu, the treatment is simple: drink plenty of liquids, rest and go see the doctor. If people die of this flu in America it is only because they are third-world transplants with a third-world mentality.

The truly bad thing about this kind is hype is that it employs the same language and intensity as a real disaster. After a while, constantly shouting "The Sky Is Falling!!--The Wolf is Coming!!" only makes people complacent. When a real disaster comes no one listens.

Self-aggrandizing morons.

JANET NAPOLITANO, TAKE A HIKE

Some people have no gratitude, no shame and zero respect

DON THE BAPTIST FAILS "HOLINESS 101"

Yes its true... I am NOT holier than thou. I am not even holier than Swiss cheese or old socks. In fact, I've pretty much given up the idea that I can be holy apart from God's grace.

This abject confession was brought on by the accusation that my blog embarrassed someone who read it. Apparently they also passed an email with my blog address to a friend who will be scandalized by the illicit, un-Christian nature of Observations From Hadlyville.

In response I have three things to say:

1. I am so glad I pastor a congregation that does not play this game.

2. This is not a Bible School Blog, a Church Blog or even specifically a Pastor Blog. It is MY Blog.

Z. Read the Blog "Sub-Title," "What's This Hadleyville Thing?" and my very clear "Quasi-Legal Disclaimer" and you will know just what kind of low-life I am before wasting time showing me the error of my ways.

ABNORMAL APHORISMS

Thanks Bubblehead.


"1. The stupid will be punished.

2. Natural laws have no pity.

3. Time wounds all heels. "

Thanks Rubber Ducky.

Thanks Tennvol.

HAPPY BELATED EASTER

THEY CAN RUN BUT THEY'LL ONLY DIE TIRED

NEGOTIATING WITH PIRATES

Predictably, the news media are wetting their pants over our being mean to the Somali pirates. "Now they are mad at us and they will hurt their hostages." That's because they think we ought to negotiate with pirates, terrorists and thugs in general. In the movie The Fifth Element Bruce Willis gives a demonstration on negotiating with thugs. You can watch this instructive clip here.

HANGIN'S TOO GOOD FER 'EM!

VICIOUS POLAR BEAR MAULING!

Sheesh, can journalism get any worse? Apparently reporters are still in breathless, overblown, overinflated reporting mode, and the election was months ago.

Video of a woman who jumped into a German zoo's polar bear pen was released today. Since you'd HAVE to be crazy to jump into a pen of polar bears--I mean, come on, they were definitely NOT going to share a Coke with her--lets be charitable and guess the woman was a raving loon. The reporting called it a vicious polar bear attack.

Vicious. Hah.

Got news for you fellas; a polar bear attack does not result in a few scratches. 4 out of 5 arctic seals would attest that the normal result looks a lot more like 18-wheeler road kill. Far from an attack, it looked like these bears were trying to help the zoo authorities get the nutcake out of their pen.

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE ATE THE WHOLE THING

HIGH NOON ITS NOT

THANKS FOR THE HELP, BUDDY

SOMETIMES RUSSIANS SURPRISE EVEN ME

According to the site Navel Open Source Intelligence "The Russian Navy has called for an international agreement that would oblige countries to notify each other about their submarines’ routes in the world’s waterways. They claim this would help prevent marine accidents.

Vice Admiral Oleg Burtsev, Deputy Head of Russian Navy Headquarters, made the proposal during an interview to the Ria Novosti news agency on Tuesday.

He said that recent incidents in which atomic submarines collided speak of the importance of such an agreement."

So, I guess here's how we're supposed to do business in the 21st Century: Hey, tell me all your secrets.

What absolute lunacy. If we're going to divulge the tracks our subs follow we might as well get rid of the expensive things in the first place. That's probably what the C.I.S.sies really want.

Fat chance.
