Stupid WaPo Bastards!
Author’s Note: The New York Times released these national security secrets first, but I saw the article on WaPo online before NYT.com refreshed. My apologies to the Washington Post. Please substitue, in your mind, NYT for Washington Post and Bill Keller for the named reporters.
Â
I almost feel sorry for them.
Two days after WMDs in Iraq were indisputably proven and one day after seven black muslim terrorists were arrested in Miami, the WaPo tries to make American’s hate George Bush by running this idiotic and already known story:
Bank Records Secretly Tapped
Administration Began Using Global Database Shortly After 2001 Attacks
By Barton Gellman, Paul Blustein and Dafna Linzer
The Bush administration, relying on a presidential declaration of emergency, has secretly been tapping into a vast global database of confidential financial transactions for nearly five years, according to U.S. government and industry officials.
Sorry, but if I were to learn tomorrow that Barton Gellman, Paul Blustein and Dafna Linzer were abducted, sodomized, and murdered, I’d find it difficult not to applaud. What a bunch of mind-numb moron, liberal, motherfuckers.Â
What Gellman, Blustein, and Linzer forgot to tell you, dear reader, is that the administration’s anti-terrorism surveillance techniques have prevent two major terror attacks in the past two weeks. Diane Feinstein confirmed on NBC’s Meet the (de)Press(ed) that NSA telecom surveillance prevented the New York subwary poison gas attack Al Qaeda planned. Now, similar tools have prevented the destruction of the Sears Tower in Chicago and other major buildings.
The sad thing is, Gellman, Blustein, and Linzer hate America and Americans. They celebrated with a good Chardonney when they learned that the two American soldiers were tortured before they were killed. They giggle watching videos of the Twin Towers collapsing. They pray for the bombing of the Sears Tower, White House, and Capitol. They are as evil as bin Laden.Â
Fuck them. May they die soon, painfully, and spend eternity in hell with al-Zarqawi, their hero.
UPDATE I did not invent the Washington Post headline above. But if you click on my link, you will arrive at a much changed story with a completely different headline. Obviously, the Washtington Post, cowardly motherfucker bastards that they are, chickened out of the hard core, anti-American headline after the Miami Seven story broke. Fuckers. But the New York Times is ready to impeach Bush for stopping the terrorists, as Michelle Malkin points out.Â
As politically incorrect as this is, I wish some terrorists would take out the NYT and all who work therein.

Kim Jung Il(l)
William Perry, SECDEF Clinton, and one of his cronies wrote WaPo op-ed advocating the U.S. military take out North Korea’s ICBM while it’s still on the ground.
Fuck them. These are the pussy motherfuckers who fell for Jimmy “The Jackoff” Carter’s deal to build nuclear weapons for North Korea. Give me a break.
Here’s a better idea: ďż˝ Kim Jung Il is in Russia Have the CIA take him out there One silenced bullet to the back of the head, his sinuses exploding all over a fat Russian woman coming home from market, the wet ops agent stealing away in the crowd of the unsuspecting street. It’s romantic and beautiful.
Then kill all of Jung Il’s unholy offspring.
Then teach the NKs English so they we can send some call center jobs there instead of India. My guess is we can pay the starving North Koreans about thirty-five cents and hour, making them relative millionaires.
Big problem solved. By the way, I hate Jimmy Carter. And while we’re at it, fuck Jack Murtha. I kind of wish the NVA or VC had whacked him when they had a chance.
FBI Terror Bust in Miami
CNN reports breaking news of a major domestic terror bust in Miami, Florida. Details still sketchy.
More news on Outside the Beltway, linking to more details on ABCNews.com:
the group allegedly planned to bomb the FBI building in Miami and the Sears Tower in Chicago.
Â
Allah Pundit has this: “Government officials tell Fox the men were plotting “to wage jihad in conjunction with Al Qaeda.” Check out this chilling story linked to the same HotAir entry.
U.S. counterterrorism officials say they are uncovering homegrown Islamic radicals inside the United States who lack formal ties to al-Qaida and operate independently.
I guess the NSA phone program, which also broke up al-Qaeda’s plans to gas the NY subway system, works. Cram that up your considerable asses, you lefty sons-of-bitches.
MSNBC.com is finally on the story:
The men — part of a radical Black Muslim group — were planning terror acts in Miami and Chicago, the officials say. The planned targets were the Sears Tower in Chicago and a federal building in Miami.
Bet on Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson rhyming to the their defense.

Father’s Day
Perhaps you find it odd that my 13-year-old and I decided to begin Father’s Day watching “Band of Brothers” for the umpteenth time. To someone of my generation, though, it makes perfect sense. The greatest movie about the greatest generation gives us our sharpest view of the men who raised us.
By “men who raised us,” I don’t mean mere male homosapiens. Those are a dime a dozen and not worth our time considering. I men “men” in the poetic, heroic sense of the word. Men who left school to make money for their families during the depression, left their families to fight evil around the world before their twentieth birthdays, returned—some—to a very different America, and made up for twenty years of neglect by inventing everything that we now think of as technology and modern practices.
In a sense, my dad and his generation invented the country we think of when we think of America. The social, economic, business, military, entertainment, and literary shape of our country began anew in 1945. While leftists with no senses of history like to point to the sixties as the great divide, they are wrong. Their egomaniacal myopia dims their view of the real shift our fathers engineered. Perhaps the boomers give their fathers so little credit because of their familiarity with the kind. We see our dads as the guys who come home from work at 4:30 and watch Cronkite on the news with footage of a fire fight in a jungle. We hear them mutter under their breath, “God help them,” as chiaroscuros of wounded soldiers and Marines crawl across the 18-inch television screen. We didn’t realize, at the time, that our dads’ muttering weld up from first hand knowledge of what those kids in the news footage were going through.
On Father’s Day, watch “Band of Brothers.” You’ll learn something about being a man. If you don’t have HBO or the DVD collection, find a WWII vet. If that vet is your dad, thank the good Lord—you are truly blessed, like me.

Farewell, Bill Gates
Some events touch particular people in peculiar ways. To most of the world, Bill Gates’s retirement means little more than any other billionaire’s retirement. “Why wouldn’t he?” you might ask.
On August 24, 1995, I stood on my front porch in South St. Louis waiting in the warm humidity for the UPS man to deliver my Day One copy of Windows ‘95. What a day. After signing for the box, I raced up to the second floor office and inserted the CD-ROM. Upgrading began.
Windows ‘95 so surpassed the Windows for Workgroups I’d been running as to make the a change difference in kind. This new operating system gave new life to an industry already deeply under my skin.
Perhaps that’s why Gates’s retirement makes me feel really old.
The Wall Street Journal (paid membership required . . . and recommended) article puts some things into perspective. “the move signals a historic changing of the guard at the software giant.” Continuing, the Journal article summarizes the Gates anomaly:
Mr. Gates, a college dropout, and high school chum Paul Allen were among the first entrepreneurs to see the possibilities of software as a business. Over the years, the company they founded swelled into a technology titan, whose products became synonymous with personal computers. Its profits and market power also became overpowering, factors that helped prompt long-running antitrust investigations in the United States and other countries.
Before I turned to technology for a living, I aspired to be an entrepreneur. I founded Right Press, Inc. in 1993, thanks, in part, to a personal gift from Bill Gates. I sent a letter to Redmond telling the company that I wanted to start a publishing company but couldn’t afford the software. About a month later, I received a letter signed by Gates and informing me that a copy of each Microsoft product was on its way via UPS. My loyalty never wavered.
Now that my career has reached the point where I do more general business management and software engineering, my appreciation for Gates’s genius only grows. So many technologists fail the Peter Principle as the cross over to management. Gates, more than any geek of his era, exemplified the businessman technologist, building the world’s most powerful software company while keeping his fingers on the design keyboard. He is the godfather of all software architects–a new role patterned exclusively off of Bill Gates.
I can’t imagine that he needs my encouragement to enjoy his retirement. With $50 or so billion, I could probably enjoy a good kick to the groin. So I will leave him simply with my thanks. His work put a good roof over my kids’ heads, good food on our table, and nice car in the garage. Bill Gates is an American hero.
