I made a comment yesterday about how my TTLB ecosystem ranking slipped drastically. I was joking about it because I did this silly thing that said my blog has a college post grad reading level. Now I don't think that has anything to do with it in reality and I also don't think you have to be quite that good a reader for the drivel that I post anyway. But I digress, I was reading my pet blogs today and I noticed that ALL of them are at a lower ranking than they used to be, even the lovely and talented Tam's rating has slipped.
I wonder if something screwy is happening over at TTLB that is messing our rankings up?
Since I mentioned her, I'm going to throw a link to Tam's blog, if you like smart, hot chicks with guns, you'll love Tam.

Dog's Goose is Cooked
I'm sure everyone is well aware of the latest trials and tribulations of Duane "Dog" Chapman of Dog the Bounty Hunter fame. With a bit of fame and fortune must come the knowledge that everything you do and say will be scrutinized by the vultures of the press. Come on now Dog, you have to have been aware of that at your age. If you weren't then your wife Beth is certainly street smart enough that she should have warned you.
I am NOT going to defend Mr. Chapman in this. Nope, he should have known better or Beth should have smacked him in the head with a big steaming cup of STFU. What I am going to do is to point out the hypocrisy that is about to destroy a very popular A&E show while others get rich.
The "N" word. If you look it up in the dictionary it means:
Dog said it in a private phone call that his son figured he could use to both trash Duane's reputation and possibly make a buck. That phone call is going to ruin Duane forever. In his apology he stated that he would never be forgiven for this. You're right Dog, your goose is cooked.
I want to ask why it's so wrong that Duane "Dog" Chapman said this in a private phone call yet at the same time, an untold number of Rap and Urban "singer/songwriters" and some "comedians" are using the same word publicly and not only is no one going absolutely ape shit crazy about it, but these people are actually making money from it thereby encouraging more of the same down the road? What's the deal with the double standard here? If this word is so heinous when uttered by a white man, then why is it not equally heinous when uttered by anyone else regardless of heritage?
If the word is so wrong, why has it not been abolished by the black community or the whole damn planet as a whole? I'm afraid that I just don't get it. If some well known black rap artist or comedian went to downtown Detroit or Chicago or some other urban area and said something like "hey niggas, get a grip on reality" most would laugh or applaud and maybe take some action. If I, as a white guy did it, I'd need to use the 1911 that I carry and use it well against multiple targets. So why the double standard? Why is it funny or even OK if one person says it, but so totally wrong if someone else does?
If the use of this word is so wrong, then let's just stop using it. If you can't bring yourself to do that, then stop being pissed off when someone else does.

Phreddie the Phag has to pay
It's about time that Fred Phelps and his band of bigots from the Westboro Baptist Church was called to account for their intolerance and bigotry as well as their non support of the troops that sacrifice their lives to provide for the right to spout the crap that they do.
Go read the article and then laugh with me at the wailing that we all know will accompany the writing of this check.

Well, that sucks
I know it was going to happen eventually anyway, but I'm a bit behind in the news here at Warthog Control and I just found out that General Paul Tibbets passed away Thursday. I know that old age will take all of us eventually, but I will still mourn and honor the passing of a great man in history. Please join me in lifting a glass to honor this great man's life.
A nice piece of tribute is here at the Anti Ididotarian Rottweiler.

Today, Nov. 2nd, a day which shall live in infamy
It's my 45th birthday. 45 years ago today I came into this world and depending on how well you know me, that could be good or bad.

Fred really gets it right
You have to go over to the Rott and read this. Fred Thompson actually understands that this country is going to have an increasing problem if it doesn't get a handle on illegal immigration and right now. I am so going to vote for Fred in '08!
News
For those of you that read here regularly, you may or may not have noticed that there are some issues in getting over to the Anti Idiotarian Rottweiler. Apparently the Emperor is having some server capacity issues and it's a bit hard to sneak into the site. Be patient, it's worth it.

Some More on On Campus Concealed Carry
I saw this article at the Buckeye Firearms Association's website and I had no idea there was a student group out there advocating student concealed carry on college campuses.
I think it's a grand idea and the only ones that will bitch about it are the same ones that will cry "why didn't you do something to prevent this?" when their own little angel gets killed at school. The only appropriate answer would be, " We tried, YOU stopped us".

Empty Holster Protest
I am getting on the bandwagon with this. An empty holster protest will be held at colleges all over the place later this month to protest gun free (except for homicidal maniacs) campuses. Here's the article.
Wrong Goreacle
I know this blog gets linked by super cool places like the Anti PC League, so I thought I would share a little something that Uncle Jimbo wrote over at Blackfive. I'm sure you're all smart enough to go there to get the REAL news about the war, aren't you?
Anyway, it seems the British courts have shot the Goreacle's film full of holes and demanded that it cannot be shown in schools unless the lies are discussed. Ya have to love it.
