			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="left-image" title="Crazed Asian Eco-Freak James Lee" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/james-lee-e1283375915771.jpg" alt="Crazed Asian Eco-Freak James Lee" width="150" height="263" />A rabid eco-terrorist and devotee of <a title="Ishmael.org" href="http://www.ishmael.org/index1.cfm" target="_blank">Daniel Quinn&#8217;s</a> anti-humanist and anti-civilization doctrine, <a title="TBD - Discovery Channel hostage situation: Gunman identified as James Jay Lee" href="http://www.tbd.com/articles/2010/09/discovery-communications-headquaters-in-silver-spring-evacuated-7172.html" target="_blank">James Lee</a>, has <a title="ABC News -  Environmental Militant Takes Hostages at Discovery Channel Headquarters Suspect James Lee Rails in Manifesto Against 'Filthy Human Babies'" href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/gunman-enters-discovery-channel-headquarters-employees-evacuated/story?id=11535128" target="_blank">attacked the Discovery Channel headquarters</a> in downtown Silver Spring, MD and taken an unknown number of people hostage.</p>
<p>It is armed with at least one pistol and appears to be strapped with explosives (eco-jihadi?).</p>
<p>The crazed Leftist eco-freak did all this because years of its protesting Discovery have born it no fruit. Discovery just wouldn&#8217;t kowtow to the filthy little monkey&#8217;s ludicrous <a title="The rambling manifesto of the subhuman eco-terrorist leftish vermin, James Lee" href="http://www.savetheplanetprotest.com/" target="_blank">demands</a> and, like all of its breed, repeated failure eventually caused it to decompensate and revert to its more natural behavior pattern.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s biggest problem with the Discovery Channel seems to be that it believes that a lot of the network&#8217;s programing fails to discourage human  procreation. You see, it hates babies.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of  any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those  actions. In those programs&#8217; places, programs encouraging human  sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth  programs must now push in the direction of stopping human birth, not  encouraging it.</em></p>
<p><em>Find solutions for Global Warming, Automotive pollution, International  Trade, factory pollution, and the whole blasted human economy. Find ways  so that people don&#8217;t build more housing pollution which destroys the  environment to make way for more human filth! Find solutions so that  people stop breeding as well as stopping using Oil in order to REVERSE  Global warming and the destruction of the planet!</em></p>
<p><em>Saving the Planet means saving what&#8217;s left of the non-human Wildlife by  decreasing the Human population. That means stopping the human race from  breeding any more disgusting human babies! You&#8217;re the media, you can  reach enough people. It&#8217;s your responsibility because you reach so many  minds!!!</em></p></blockquote>
<p>The above are just a sampling of the creature&#8217;s screed but the rest mostly devolve to the same <em>Ishmaelite</em> point; a majority of humanity should perish and the best way of doing that is to eliminate procreation. It and they hate human babies with a quasi-religious passion.</p>
<h3>It Ends Happily</h3>
<p>Fortunately this horrific episode has ended happily for America and humanity in general. The Montgomery County SWAT Team&#8217;s snipers <a title="CBS - James Lee: Who was Alleged Discovery Channel Hostage Taker?" href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-20015363-504083.html" target="_blank">exterminated</a> this piece of filth before it could do any further harm.</p>

<p>So please, ladies &#8211; and you Feminists too &#8211; don&#8217;t blame the men in IT for you&#8217;re not being well-represented in technology fields. We want you!</p>
<p>As it stands now, we&#8217;re so isolated from women that many IT types who read this post will likely look at the beautiful, half-naked women in the first set of images for a moment and then go on study <em>in-depth</em> and comment upon the <em>actual</em> racks, cable management, and using FreeBSD vs other operating systems They will likely even notice whether or not the ladies are wearing anti-static clips and cables.</p>
<p>Yeah, it&#8217;s that bad!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="left-image" title="Tiger Woods and Rachel Uchitel" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/tiger-woods-rachel-uchitel.jpg" alt="Tiger Woods and Rachel Uchitel - This was surprising?" width="150" height="125" />As far too many people know and, for reasons that defy logic, seem to care, Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren have divorced after the world found out that Tiger had cheated on her with a laundry list of men and women.</p>
<p>Apparently Elin Nordegren had a problem with being married to a serial pervert.</p>
<p>Of course, one of society&#8217;s biggest &#8220;concerns&#8221; was what the divorce settlement would be. So far there are no firm details about how much Tiger is actually going to end up paying for the skanks, whores, and &#8220;male escorts&#8221; he frequented for years, but some rumors are available.</p>
<p>From the <a title="The Onion - Onion Sports Network - Terms Of Tiger's Divorce" href="http://www.theonion.com/articles/terms-of-tigers-divorce,17975/" target="_blank">Onion Sports Network</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Former super-couple Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren are making it official with one of the highest-profile divorces in sports. Here&#8217;s how it will work:</p>
<ul>
<li>Couple will evenly split 8-foot-tall pile of money in the spare bedroom</li>
<li>Joint custody of the caddy</li>
<li>Woods required to hire cleaning company to remove skank juice from living room carpeting</li>
<li>Elin is entitled to half of Tiger&#8217;s collection of strap-ons, double dildos, leather handcuffs, feather ticklers, nipple clamps, vibrating cock rings, pleasure wands, Fleshlights, anal plugs, cock slings, and Rim Raiders</li>
<li>Tiger Woods will keep all of the $178 million in cash he stashed in an offshore account in anticipation of just this sort of thing</li>
<li>Couple will have shared custody of the children, with Woods seeing them every other decade</li>
<li>Tiger gets the couple&#8217;s Ford Festiva</li>
<li>Elin is now the face of Gillette Mach 3 razors</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>I really don&#8217;t have any sympathy for Elin Nordegren though; she had to know that this sort of behavior by Tiger was unavoidable. The <em>brutha</em> golfed! A Hole in One was bound to turn into &#8220;a hole in dat one, and dat one, and dat one &#8230; Damn! I gots to get me into all of &#8216;em holes.&#8221; <img src='http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':-P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

The court ruled that the President Obama's planned financial support Human Emryonic Stem Cell (HESC) research violates an existing  federal law barring the use of taxpayer money for experiments that destroy human embryos.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="left-image" title="6-Day Old Human Embryo" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/embryo-human-6days.jpg" alt="6-Day Old Human Embryo" width="150" height="150" />On Monday, August 23, 2010 a US federal judge blocked the Obama administration from funding human embryonic stem cell research via the National Institutes of Health (NHS). The court ruled that the President Obama&#8217;s planned financial support Human Embryonic Stem Cell (HESC) research violates an existing  federal law barring the use of taxpayer money for experiments that destroy human embryos.</p>
<p>So much for President Obama March 9, 2009 <a href="http://blog.jonolan.net/politics/useful-but-empty-words/">Executive Order 13505</a>, with which he supposedly tried to fund the practice with taxpayer money.</p>
<p>From the <a title="Washington Post - NIH cannot fund embryonic stem cell research, judge rules" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08/23/AR2010082303448.html" target="_blank">Washington Post</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth issued a preliminary injunction that prohibits the National Institutes of Health from funding the research under the administration&#8217;s new guidelines, citing an appeals court&#8217;s ruling that the researchers who had challenged the less-restrictive policy have the legal standing to pursue their lawsuit.</em></p>
<p><em>The decision, a setback for one of the administration&#8217;s most high-profile scientific policies, was praised by opponents of the research.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>The preliminary injunction will, if some vestige of the laws of America still exist, be followed with a final ruling that permanently blocks Obama&#8217;s directive. This is not because HESC research is wrong but because a President&#8217;s Executive Orders do not overrule the laws as created by the Congress and, therefor he cannot approve such funding when a law explicitly prohibits it. </p>
<p><em>That</em> is a much more important point than whether or not Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research gets federal funding &#8211; <em>unless one suddenly likes the idea of the &#8220;Imperial Presidency.&#8221;</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="left-image" title="Aesop's The Grasshopper and the Ant" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ant-and-grasshopper-gutenberg.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="144" />In Aesop fable of <em>The Ant and the Grasshopper</em> a grasshopper spends the warm months singing and idling while the ant worked hard to store up food for long, cold winter. When winter arrives, the grasshopper finds itself dying of hunger, and upon asking the ant for food and shelter, is rejected and castigated for its idleness and sloth. Soon the grasshopper dies of cold and hunger.</p>
<p>The story was once used to teach the virtues of hard work and saving, and the perils of laziness and improvidence.</p>
<p>That, of course, was a story for a vastly different age. Now such a parable would be derided as an example of greed and the ant would be cast as the villain.  Yet, even so, <em>The Ant and the Grasshopper</em> can be recast in a modern light:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>The Ant and the Grasshopper</em>: A Parable For Today</strong></p>
<p><em>The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.</em></p>
<p><em>The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.</em></p>
<p><em>Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.</em></p>
<p><em>CBS, NBC , PBS, NPR, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.</em></p>
<p><em>How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?</em></p>
<p><em>Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green…’</em></p>
<p><em>ACORN busses in hundreds of angry protesters and stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group singing, ‘We Shall Overcome.’</em></p>
<p><em>Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper’s sake, demanding that they must kill any God that did not damn this ant.</em></p>
<p><em>President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper’s plight.</em></p>
<p><em>Nancy Pelosi &amp; Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share. Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity &amp; Anti-Grasshopper Act, making it retroactive to the beginning of the summer.</em></p>
<p><em>The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and,  having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.</em></p>
<p><em>The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant’s old house, rumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn’t maintain it.</em></p>
<p><em>The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.</em></p>
<p><em>The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood.</em></p>
<p><em>The entire Nation collapses bringing down the rest of the free world with it, and in some dark, but suddenly nearer Hell Pazuzu smiles.<br />
</em></p>
<p><strong>MORAL OF THE STORY:</strong><br />
Be careful how you vote in 2010 and 2012.</p></blockquote>
<p>Sadly, we&#8217;ve degenerated very far since the time of that 7th Century BC Thracian Fabulist, Aesop became famous across the ancient world as the preeminent teller of fables. Now the Ant would be cast as the rapacious, selfish, capitalist and the Grasshopper as an oppressed minority or an example of &#8220;The Ant&#8217;s Burden.&#8221; <img src='http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="left-image" title="Obama - The Joker as Tyrant of America" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/obama-joker-tyrant.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="194" />Whenever President Obama loses control over a domestic issue or feels that he has it is a good thing for America and for we, the People of America. It is always good for any free people when a would-be tyrant, especially one who <a href="http://blog.jonolan.net/ethics-morality/the-face-of-despotism/">sees himself as beneficent</a>, is discomfited.</p>
<p>We are living in such a time. President Obama has lost some parts of the control he has had previously enjoyed over the MSM and news of the widespread dissent against him and his followers is now being published.</p>
<p>What Obama is most worried about, however, is that he and his followers no longer firmly the control the airwaves going into the upcoming 2010 Congressional Midterm Elections. Campaign ads are being run and the Obama Regime doesn&#8217;t know by exactly who.</p>
<blockquote><p>As the political season heats up, Americans are already being inundated with the usual phone calls, mailings, and TV ads from campaigns all across the country. But this summer, they’re also seeing a flood of attack ads run by shadowy groups with harmless-sounding names. We don’t know who’s behind these ads and we don’t know who’s paying for them.</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">&#8211; President Obama<br />
<a title="White House - Obama's August 21, 2010 Weekly Address" href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2010/08/21/weekly-address-president-obama-challenges-politicians-benefiting-citizen" target="_blank">Weekly Address</a>, August 21, 2010</p>
</blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s an ironic and cosmically hypocritical position for some who has made sure to shroud their entire past &#8211; birth, education, religion, and even election funding &#8211; from scrutiny by the American people he has sought to rule over.</p>
<p>But of course Obama can&#8217;t stand not knowing exactly who is behind each and every bit of dissent. He cannot follow the rules of his political strategy as laid out by his longtime friend and mentor, without such knowledge.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: right;">&#8211; Saul Alinski<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0679721134?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=jnolan0f-20&amp;link_code=as3&amp;camp=211189&amp;creative=373489&amp;creativeASIN=0679721134"><em>Rules for Radicals</em></a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=jnolan0f-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0679721134" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />, Rule 11</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I can easily see where many groups of Americans might prefer to shield themselves however they can from reprisals by the Obama Regime.</p>
<p>Admittedly though, America has been damaged and insulted in the past by &#8220;shadowy groups with harmless-sounding names,&#8221; such as Organizing for America, ACORN, SEIU, Move On, Code Pink, and the Cordoba Initiative. Somehow though I doubt that Obama would really want <em>their</em> sources of funding looked at too closely &#8211; or what and/or who they&#8217;re buying or have bought with that money.</p>

<p>Keep your eyes open. Travel light but load heavy, and always put another round in the enemy after they’re down. <img src='http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
