#5  Members led a regimented lifestyle. Particular attention was paid to: punctuality, cleanliness, orderliness, personal possessions, how to dress, what to eat, how to phrase a question, and most importantly desires.

Remind you of anything?

“I remember (another doctor) was there, and he said he couldn't find any testes on these people either. So I thought, 'OK, this is real.' ”

Applewhite and six members of the cult had been castrated in Mexico a few months earlier – another way to deal with unwanted desires.


Too bad there’s not some way to sell Muslim males on this idea.

Some final thoughts: Any remaining assets held by the cult should have been liquidated in order to provide post-traumatic stress counseling for any public services personnel exposed to this sort of insanity. Even the coroners.

It becomes increasingly difficult to feel any sympathy for people this incredibly stupid.

#6  I knew some bizarre practical joker individuals who make sport of kooks. As soon as the news announced the mass suicide, the first thing they did was to mirror the cults website.

Then, to their glee, they discovered that their Heaven's Gate answering machine was still connected.

Knowing that only the FBI was going to be hearing the messages, they phoned in a bunch of gags, like:

"Hey, you guys, you got the date wrong. We just figured out it is next week, not this week!"

"Mr Applewhite, this is Domino's Pizza. We were just calling to confirm that you wanted 39 pan pizzas delivered to your address."

"BWAHAHAHAHA! You FOOLS! Now I own your eternal souls!"

etc. I'm sure it was appreciated.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Seven killed in Russian air crash
MOSCOW - Seven people were killed on Saturday and 50 injured when a passenger jet crashed on landing in the central Russian city of Samara, the latest blow to the country’s aviation industry still reeling from its deadliest year on record in 2006. A twin-engine Tupolev Tu-134 jet operated by regional airline YUT-Air crashed as it landed in heavy weather in Samara, 1,100 kilometres (685 miles) east of Moscow, breaking into pieces and killing seven of the 57 passengers and crew aboard, officials said.
Maybe EADS can get the Russians to buy in to Airbus, then they can close the Tupolev factory and build Airbuses. Everyone wins.
Six people were trapped in the wreckage of the plane for about three hours before being freed by rescue workers. A total of 23 people were hospitalised, while another 27 were treated by psychologists at the Samara airport, emergency situation ministry officials told agency ITAR-TASS.

The crash followed 33 Russian aviation accidents last year that left 318 dead -- a sixfold increase over 2005 -- according to a report by the Interstate Aviation Committee, a joint group involving former Soviet states.

#4  Good lord. I'm awfully glad Mr. Wife hasn't travelled in that part of the world for just about eleven years. We can only hope it was relatively painless and quick for the dead in all those crashes. And that the injured didn't have to spend too much time in Russian hospitals full of drug-resistant TB and unmasked, ungloved doctors.

#5  "Six people were trapped in the wreckage of the plane for about three hours before being freed," sounds like something that happened to American Airlines or Jet Blue just recently. Oh, that was due to air traffic control delays, and not a crash. sorry, my bad.

#4  It would be possible to defend the zinc mining by saying that zinc allows steel to be made corrosion resistant which is a net environmental plus. This has the virtue of being a rational argument. Of course the problem with the argument is that it means that some industrial activities are a net environmental plus.

The other way of defending it is to say that the Gore family's diligence made the mining ops less polluting than if the zinc would have been mined elsewhere. This has the virtue of being true because almost any mining operation in the US is cleaner than the world average. However, the bad side of this is that it admits the US is good.

Probably there are other defenses that I haven't thought of.
Posted by: mhw || 03/18/2007 17:55 Comments || Top||

#5  I wouldn't disagree that zinc is a necessary commodity, and that a property owner is fully within his rights to do as he's done. It's just his Goracle Messiah preaching down to us about our flaws as he transits the globe in a private jet that makes this additional hypocrisy. In a ddition there's the stench of teh original deal with Occidental that reminds us of his Buddhist campaign contributions, Chinese funny money, "no controlling authority" et al. Prince Albert is a walking poster boy against honesty and integrity. I cede him absolutely NO moral high ground

Home Front: Culture Wars
Nagin Suspects a Plot To Keep Blacks Away
Way to go you incompetent POS - helping race relations everywhere
New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin has suggested that the slow recovery and rebuilding of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina -- which has prevented many black former residents from returning -- is part of a plan to change the racial makeup and political leadership of his and other cities.
deep plots!
"Ladies and gentlemen, what happened in New Orleans could happen anywhere I am," Nagin said at a dinner sponsored by the National Newspaper Publishers Association, a trade group for newspapers that target black readers. "They are studying this model of natural disasters, dispersing the community and changing the electoral process in that community."

Nagin's remarks Thursday night recalled the controversy stirred up by his prediction in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech in 2006 that, despite the evacuation of thousands of black people in the wake of Katrina, New Orleans would once again become a "chocolate city." The mayor later apologized for the comment, which had infuriated many whites and African Americans.
this shows how sincere that apology was
Nagin, who won reelection last May over Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu, referred obliquely to the "chocolate city" comment at the dinner and suggested that his assertion that New Orleans would once again be a majority-black city had made him a political target.

"Everybody in America started to wake up and say: 'Wait a minute. What the f*&k is he doing? What is he thinking saying? We have to make sure that this man doesn't go any further,' " Nagin told a room full of black newspaper publishers and editors at the Capital Hilton.

Referring to Landrieu, who is white, as "the golden boy," Nagin suggested his chance at reelection in the mayoral race had seemed slim because "they dispersed all of our people across 44 states with one-way tickets."
driving up crime stats in other regions
"They thought they were talking about a different kind of New Orleans," Nagin said. "They didn't realize that folks were awake, that they were paying attention."

Is there a bigger POS? Oh yeah, I forgot Blanco...

#1  Er, wasn't dispersing the population the actual disaster plan that New Orleans put together? You remember, the one they scrapped in favor of "do nothing and let the press pull our asses out of the sling"?

Posted by: Rob Crawford || 03/18/2007 15:27 Comments || Top||

#2  Ummm... from what I've picked up in the local newspaper, a fair number of the Katrina evacuees in SA don't really want to go back, once they found jobs and housing, and fairly OK schools, and mostly competant city government, uncorrupt police forces... and there wasn't all that much racism out there, beyond the NO city limits, either.
I'd guess a lot of the evacuees had their eyes opened in a fairly comprehensive manner.

#3  That (Nagin) is the blackest "White Racist" I've ever seen.

#4  I read the article. Then I read the comments. 31 pages of them. I'd say at least 1/4 of them would have been sinktrapped here at the 'Burg. There are black nuts on there--uncensored--who are openly calling for race war and exterminating whitey now. Who would have ever thought that the PC WaPo would allow outright hate speech? Now I need a shower...

#6  Nagin, maybe the dispersed do not want to go back to the cesspool. Maybe the dispersed are living places with less drug problems, real schools, decent city services, jobs, less corruption, and decent public officials. It is hard to believe that HIS HONOR, in Chicago, would have been hiding during a storm, or whining afterward.

#7  NAGIN himself said that by "choclate" he meant the mixing of black/dark wid white to make "chocolate".

#8  Ray, it's this way.....see....people living below sea level were evacuated to higher ground. Then they looked around and they realized that it makes more sense to live above sea level, so they decided that staying where they are is better than living in a dewatering sump.

#7  In related news, PETA announced a counter-protest competition to the sled-dog race called the IDIOTARAD in which PETA memebers would act as stand-ins for the sled dogs.
Posted by: WTF || 03/18/2007 19:25 Comments || Top||

#8  PETA needs to STFU until they start addressing a much more significant ongoing large-scale practice involving inhumane and cruel treatment of animals. Otherwise known as halal slaughter. Until PETA takes substantive action against something that violates all of this nation's animal processing norms, their ostensible moral authority is null and void.
Posted by: Zenster || 03/18/2007 19:49 Comments || Top||

#9  Zenster, I believe that in theory the halal slaughtering method and the kosher slaughtering method are similar: slicing the throat of the animal with a sharp knife, and letting the animal bleed out. The differences being that the kosher slaughterer's knife must be (if I recall correctly) sharp enough to slice a hair, the cut deep enough that the animal is functionally dead as soon as the cut is made, and the killing floor must be immaculately clean. But if you endeavor to stop halal slaughtering on the grounds of cruelty to animals, you will stop kosher slaughtering as well. Better to demand actual enforcement of federal cleanliness and hygiene laws that have been on the books since the 1930s.... unless you're arguing with your local PETA types, of course, then go with what works for the idiots. ;-)
Posted by: trailing wife || 03/18/2007 20:04 Comments || Top||

#10  trailing wife, if you are able to elucidate on the subject, how does the following compare or differ with Kosher processing? Any reply is greatly appreciated as this could be a significant method of making America Islam-unfriendly.

3/2/5 The mechanical blade in slaughterhouses that follow this system should be calibrated to cut only the four jugular veins and not other parts of the neck. This should be done from the front and not from the sides of the neck.

3/2/6 It is not allowed to hit the animal on the head or to use any method similar to that (such as a stun gun, stun hammer and carbon dioxide).

3/2/7 The animals stay alive – in the event that low-grade electrical stunning is used on the head alone – in order that the Zakah (slaughter) may be performed. The sign for that is that the animal should move when it is slaughtered. If it dies before the Zakah then it is considered to be Mawqooza (fatally beaten) and is rejected. Electrical stunning is not permitted for poultry.

3/3 The requirements of the method of slaughter (Al Zakah).

3/3/1 Mention of the name of Allah when slaughtering (Bismillah).

3/3/2 That the slaughter (Zakah) of the animal be carried out in one of the Islamic Law (Shari’a) ways mentioned in Section 2/1.

3/3/3 The animal is slaughtered by cutting the trachea, the esophagus and the jugular veins from the front, from the side of the chest, not on the side of the back of the neck or the back.

3/3/4 The neck of the animal must not be cut or broken or any other similar action undertaken, until the bleeding has stopped.

[emphasis added]

Save from shock, I don't see how the animal loses consciousness quickly enough not to feel significant pain.
