Totally Not Sleeping Tonight.....
The Silent Hill movie is totally freakin boss. Fear not, there are no spoilers here....well maybe one (sort of), but you'll have to highlight it to read it and it's at the very end.
I will tell you that the movie does a good job of establishing a very creepy atmosphere. If you've ever played the games, the movie really is Silent Hill. There are a lot of things in the movie that pay homage to the games. Even down to the fact that every time Rose (Radha Mitchell) runs with a flashlight, the flashlight is pointed at the floor.
Pyramid Head is awsome.
My one complaint is that they get really caught up in explaining everything. One of the things that made the games really scary is that you went through the whole game like "wtf is that!?". At the end of the game you still didn't really know anything except that you knew a little more about not knowing anything.
Spoiler: Dude they totally got the bad bad ending.

Absolutely Worthless....
The UN elects Iran to the disarmament commission. No. Seriously.
In other business, the following delegations were elected as Vice-chairpersons, by acclamation: Chile, Uruguay and Iran. Coly Seck of Senegal was elected to serve as Rapporteur. Both the Commission Chairman and the Under-Secretary-General for Disarmament Affairs urged the speedy election of the Chairperson of Working Group I on the nuclear weapons-related item, so that deliberations could begin on Wednesday, 12 April, following the general debate.
Iran....UN Disarmament Commission.... Well, I guess if Sudan could serve on the Human Rights Commission this shouldn't be all that surprising. Still the blatant hypocrasy of this is mind numbing.
Iran's declaration that it enriched its first batch of uranium is unlikely to spur a divided U.N. Security Council to take any substantive action sooner than May on the question of Iran's nuclear ambitions, council diplomats said on Wednesday.
And it's certainly not like they're being vague about their intentions.
Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reiterated Iran's goal of "wiping Israel off the map." Speaking at a conference of visiting heads of Arab terrorist groups operating in areas under Palestinian Authority control, Ahmadinejad said, "Whether you like it or not, the Zionist regime is on the road to being eliminated."
Far be it from me to accuse the UN of anti-semitism....[/sarcasm]
Still the question begs asking, what will it take before President Bush stops wagering the fate of western civilization on the UN's ability to do anything more than fester in its own corruption and cover its ass?

This Can Only End Badly....
It seems a bunch of people have decided that getting together in zombie makeup and shambling about various towns is a bright idea.
Idiots, all of them! There are large numbers of people, who's first impulse upon spotting a zombie is to destroy the brain or decapitate the thing.
This is carnage waiting to happen.

Further Decline In France....
Apparently the buck stops at Muslim boys in French public schools.
The “big brothers,” as the Islamists are known in school, enforce a strict Islamic dress code which prohibits make-up, dresses and skirts, forbid any co-educational activities and make going to the movies, the swimming pool or the gym all but impossible for Moslem girls.
The punishment for refusal to conform is often physical violence and beatings. And this, says the report, is a relatively protected environment compared to “what girls experience outside of school.” Such as forced marriages at 14 or 15.
America take note. If we don't believe in this great country and all that it stands for, if we are unwilling to defend it from those who seek to destroy it, this will be us.

Oh, I Smell Fun....
With the demise of The Onion's late advice column it seems the The Hudson Pravda has decided to step up and fill in.
Friends, I give you, Ask The New York Times.
Michelle Malkin has a few starter questions if you can't think of any.
I've got a few as well.
John Hehman.
Democrat Recruiting Policies.
and New Iraq Documents.
Think I'll get an answer?

Death Cult....
You guessed it, another stampede....
A stampede at the end of a religious gathering on Sunday to mark the birth of Islam's Prophet Muhammad left at least 29 women and children dead in southern Pakistan.
But the truly revealing part comes later....
Another Dawat-e-Islami official, Hafiz Hassan Attari, lamented that "numerous innocent lives perished, (but) they embraced martyrdom and we pray for their eternal peace."
Appalling.

The Other War At Home....
Michelle Malkin has new photos of the nut jobs among us.
A girl no older than 6 had her shirt painted: “Hell, no, we won’t go. Mexicans stick together.”
I have a neat idea about how Mexicans can stick together, they can stay the hell in Mexico. You know, building a wall aint a complete cure but it'd be a start, plus we'd have something to toss their asses over when we caught 'em.

Elections In Italy....
Let's be real, I'd be stupid to want anyone other than incumbent PM, Berlusconi, to win. His vision regarding the WoT and opperations in Iraq are a breath of fresh air coming from contenental Europe. His openent has stated that he would take a more "Euro-centric approach". We all know what that means....
High turn out today, but the results aren't in yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Immigration Bull....
I've been silent for a bit about a few things so this is gonna be the second of a few posts tonight.
Let's talk about immigration, shall we.
Let me see if I understand this thing correctly. There are a whole shit load of folks- generally from Mexico- who slunk their asses across the U.S.-Mexican border without authorization in any way, shape, or form. Many have been here for some time, and some for not so long, but all of them are using facilities and services and services that are funded by tax paying citizens, but are not paying taxes themselves. Some of these tax paying citizens actually came from other countries, including Mexico, and they came with authorization and put in the work to be here legally.
But the ones who don't have authorization and aren't paying taxes are demanding more services and facilities from everyone who pays taxes.
Additionally, many of the people who are here illegally seem to be under the impression that the areas in which they illegally reside actually belong to Mexico.
Oh, and both sides of the aisle have decided that apart from giving the southwest to Mexico, they're basically gonna reward the illegals for being loud, unruley, and numerous.
Hmmmm.... that's alot of fuckin' crazy up there. First off, I just want to know where the hell these people get the gall to work up such a sense of entitlement. Who the hell do they think they are, that they can demand that an entire nation of people pay the way for them and their kids? How can they work up the audacity to spit in the face of every legal immigrant and every child of a legal immigrant or legal resident alien?
Additionally, I'd like to put a rest to this Mexico owned California first bullshit. The first claim to be staked out concerns this entire contenent and the immediately below it, and it belongs to the American Indians, who sure as sure as hell didn't habla Espan-fuckin-ol. (Yes, I am aware that is atrocious Spanish. It's intentional.) The next people with a claim to stake? Spain. And then we get to Mexico. Mexico lost their claim in a war, which happens to be the way the world works. If the world doesn't work that way then Mexico should give itself back to Spain instantly, who should then give Mexico to the remaining American Indians who originally occupied the area. Seeing as how the world doesn't work that way, because that would be stupid, "we were here first" needs to shut the fuck up. Not only is it stupid, it's incorrect.
Now to roast some politicians. Any Benedict Arnold who supports caving into the demands of the illegals should be run out on a rail. Such is the greatness of the disservice they propose to do the people who put them in office. They try to shuffle some song and dance about how the illegals are necessary because they do the jobs that Americans, legal resident aliens won't do. That quite frankly is a load of horse shit. They do the jobs that Americans and legal aliens would do, but the illegals do them for slave wages that Americans and legal aliens wouldn't accept. If anything they hold back our economy by devaluing the legal employee. Furthermore any Quisling even considdering giving aliens (legal or not) the ability to vote should be chased out of office. What, to them is the value of citizenship? They don't know. They can't even grasp that asses are not to be worn as hats.
By the way, if INS had any goddamn sense they'd be staking out tomorrow's protests, taking notes for later round-ups. But the odds of that happenning are about as good as my odds of being the next American Idol.

Recap....
6 games in and we're
tied with the goddamn Yankees.
Won the first two games of the season against Tampa Bay, lost the last of the three schedualed to them and all three games to Boston.
Reverse the curse my ass, they just transfered it to us. Take it from me, Beantown, yall can have your stinkin' curse back.

Home Team Takes It....
....6 to 9.
Promising start for the season. Hell, the sun even broke through the clouds a few times. The rain held off until I got home- after the close of the game.
Way to go guys. Looks like even old mother nature was a baseball fan today.

They Can Rebuil You....
...Or at least they'll be able to in the future.
The Pentagon wants to get one thing straight: It is not building a "bionic" arm like the one test pilot Steve Austin got in The Six Million Dollar Man TV series more than 30 years ago.
True, the government is paying the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory $30.4 million to spearhead development of a thought-controlled mechanical arm for the growing number of soldiers who lose their own in battle or accidents.
Seems to me, that a thought controlled mechanical arm for someone who lost the one they were born with is pretty super thing.
