6th severed foot found – Weirdest news story gets weirder.

August 5, 2008 Aurvant 2 comments

This one was found off of the Washington shore.

A shoe containing bones and flesh has been discovered on a remote Strait of Juan de Fuca beach about 40 miles west of Port Angeles, 14 miles from the Canadian shoreline.

The grisly discovery comes nearly a year after the first of five sneakers containing human feet were found washed ashore in British Columbia, triggering one of the most bizarre cases in provincial history.

The latest shoe, described as a hiking boot, does not match any of those discovered earlier in Canada. But, like four of the five others already found, it is a right foot.

I remember at one time they were claiming that the feet were probably being washed up from a plane crash. Something about it being normal for plane wreckages in the ocean to release body parts that were severed during the wreckage. They explained that when the seats slam forward that it can cut off passengers feet due to the force. Yet, thats just a theory and they have yet to prove it.

Gee, makes me just wanna rush to fly somewhere…

Anyways, I think the weirdest part is that 5 out of 6 of these feet have been right feet, and this new foot doesn’t seem to match the other five that they’ve already found. This news story just seems to get creepier and creepier and it would appear that nobody has an explanation for it just yet that seems to stick.

The Grand Flying Ego that is Obama.

August 4, 2008 Aurvant 1 comment

Generally the first word that comes to mind when I think of Obama is “pompous” and when the news hit that the press was showing pictures of Obama’s personal candidate plane he did not disappoint on the arrogance. Considering that he already has his name etched in to his own personal seat with the words “President” engraved just under it I would think that he’s going to feel a bit embarassed if he loses this race.

However, there is an upside to this over abundance of materialism that Obama is investing it, and it stems from the fact that the more he’s spending on exhuberent items such as the plane in question it keeps him from making ridiculous and ignorant commercials like this one.

The funny thing is that Obama pretty much just proves his ignorance right there. He claims that the McCain campaign has received over 2 million dollars in contributions from “Big Oil” except that they leave out the detail that the information they are giving is impossible. Why? Because corporations cant give campaign contributions. Then Obama pretty much excludes the fact that he’s got Oil executives bundling up money for his own campaign upwards towards the six figure area.

Obama is such a hypocrite. Although I do find one thing funny about the page escribing Obama’s private jet for his campaign. Considering that Obama has been claiming lately that we could avoid drilling completely just by “inflating our tires” and how completely aggressive he’s been on attacking oil companies I find it hilarious that the story describing his posh jet was presented by, you guessed it, ExxonMobil.

Irony!

More Obama energy ignorance – His solution? give out more money!

August 1, 2008 Aurvant Leave a comment

At times I think that Obama just covers his ears and screams “LALALALALALALALALA” everytime someone asks him about Energy independance and the current outrageous prices regarding energy bills. However, it seems the crisis has reached a point where Obama has finally decided to give out some of his divine wisdom. So, what is the new messiah’s idea?

Throw money at it and hope it goes away.

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama proposed a package of measures on Friday to help workers fight rising energy costs, including an immediate $1,000 tax rebate for low- and middle-income families.

Ahhhhh, tax rebates for the low and middle class. Obama and his flimsy judgement have seen it fit to keep the upper class free from receiving any relief from the energy crunch. Despite the fact that, ya know, they pay more taxes than anyone and are still having to pay the same $4.00 a gallon as everyone else, but whatever I guess to Obama “they can afford it”.

The Illinois senator also revamped his proposal for a $50 billion economic stimulus plan to include $25 billion to replenish the highway trust fund and pay for infrastructure improvements that aides said could save up to 1 million endangered jobs.

Translation: He’s going to use taxpayer money to flood the government sector to cover sections like Infrastructure that should have already been budgeted and paid for in the first place. Expect a hefty tax increase before this ridiculous amount gets approved on.

Obama said the proposals grew from his talks this week in Washington with economic officials and an all-star panel of economic advisers including billionaire investor Warren Buffett.

“We agreed that the main risk we face today is doing too little in the face of our growing economic troubles,” he said.

Inflate your tires people. According to Obama just by doing that we would never have a need for drilling for more oil. Also, why the hell is anyone listening to some old douchebag that says things like “Gold has no production value”? Not to mention a man who looked at the downturn in the financial sector as “Poetic Justice” back in 2007, AND he actually likes the inheritance tax which befuddles the hell out of me. He’s an old asshole who is now being seen clamoring around the captain bullshit who’s running for President. Why his opinion even carries weight today boggles the mind.

Speaking of Captain bullshit (sorry Ace but I’m using this) he’s decided that another way to bring about relief to the American people rests in the form of (Nope, still not drilling for oil for dependance) stealing money from other people. Don’t believe me? Let me introduce you to Obama’s windfall tax idea:

Obama already had proposed a windfall profits tax on oil company profits but the new plan specifies the tax would last five years. He linked his call for a windfall profits tax to Exxon Mobil’s announcement on Thursday of nearly $12 billion in profits for the quarter.

“It’s time we used some of their record profits to help you pay record prices,” he said.

You know what a “Windfall profit” tax is? It’s where the government steps in on a business and decides what amount of money is “fair” for them to make. Essentially the government would be telling Exxon Mobil that their 12 billion dollars in profit was “just too much for them” so the government would take away a portion of that profit to use for themselves. How is that not stealing? I guess when you disguise it in the form of “sticking it to the corporations” or “helping the less fortunate” then you can pretend that theft is charity.

So, yeah, there you have it. Obama’s plans on taking money from taxpayers and then, with the money you already gave him, he;s going to give you just a small portion of that back and keep the rest for the government sector. All the while not really creating a solution to the problem of high energy costs, but merely sticking a dirty band-aid over it and hoping it sticks for a while.

Stupid files: Man tries to fill up Car with Jet Fuel.

August 1, 2008 Aurvant Leave a comment

SRSLY.

A drunken man broke into a small airport and tried to fill up his car’s gas tank with jet fuel, police said. Police arrested the man, 20, on Sunday night for driving while intoxicated and attempted theft.

The man probably wasn’t trying to save money. The aviation fuel in the pumps used for aircraft and race cars, was going for $5.97 a gallon, accessed by a credit card, authorities said.

Heh. I don’t think we need to beat around the bush here people. I think we all know why he was trying to fill up his truck with jet fuel. He was obviously trying to fly it like some bitchin’ fighter jet.

Don’t want $10.00 a gallon? Vote Republican.

“It is a phantom solution” Salazar says. Oh, so I guess the Obamessiah’s energy saving plans of “inflate your tires” is so much better? Yeah, whatever. Even Floridians and Calafornians are supporting the idea of driling in the Outer Continental Shelf, but the Democrats in Congress are continuously telling the people of this country that they don’t care and that they’ll block any drilling. Period.

I hope everyone is paying attention to this kind of blatent bullshit from the Democrats. We have enough oil to last us, purely independantly too, for years. However, the Dems in congress feel it necessary to punish the American people all in the sake of some ridiculous idea that inflating your tires and getting car tune-ups will somehow save the planet. All in the name of a political hoax surrounded by the ridiculous and completely erroneous and flawed science of Global Warming.

It’s easy people. If you want lower gas prices and would like to NOT pay $4.00 a gallon at the pump then you need to get on the bandwagon of drilling for more oil. It’s about supply and demand and if you increase the SUPPLY to an extent that it far outweighs the demand then prices, naturally, will have to go down.

So, if you want higher taxes and gas prices then, by all means, vote Democrat, but if your sick of paying an arm and a leg at the pump for Gasoline then you need to get behind the people who want to drill. Now.
