  • Citizen arrested for stopping “foreigner” terrorist

    Joseph Tarochione’s “Special Forces” training kicked in when he saw a Canadian driving erratically. Tarochione then began his own investigation after calling 9-1-1, and in a typical secret squirrel move refused to disclose his name to the operator;

    Tarochione was arrested and charged Tuesday afternoon with impersonating a law enforcement officer. He was later released from the Land O’ Lakes Jail on $5,000 bond.

    When he called 911, Tarochione told the dispatcher his name was classified information, according to the arrest report. A deputy who arrived at the scene said Tarochione told him he was in Special Forces and assigned to search for terrorists in the area, the arrest report said.

    Police apparently batoned the nut and hurt his pinky.

    Tarochione was armed with a .22 magnum handgun and a .22-caliber long-rifle revolver, the report said. In his vehicle was a 16-gauge shotgun and “lots of ammunition,” the report said.

    When deputies asked him to give them the weapons, Tarochione refused. He said the deputies struck him twice with a baton when he refused to hand over the weapons.

    Somehow, it’s not reassuring to me that there are people like Tarochione out there who think they’re hunting foreign terrorists from Canada and their “special forces training” kicks in for erratic drivers. I mean, appreciate his spirit, but, still.

  • Fun Is Where You Find It

    According to two of my favorite people February 20 is the time and DC is the place to be?

    We, the founders of Veterans for Ron Paul 2012, Nathan Cox and Adam Kokesh, invite you to join us for a veterans and active duty march for Ron Paul on President’s Day, Monday, February 20th. We hope to send the message from now until “Super Tuesday,” March 6th, that RON PAUL IS THE CHOICE OF THE TROOPS! We have applied for a proper permit from the Parks Department and DC MPD.

    Nope, this is NOT one of my Sunday Silly posts.  It’s the Real Deal.

    I hope to be there.

    ETA (edited to add) Been told that this is old news here.  At my age I welcome reminders. [shrug] Doesn’t mean a heads-up don’t matter.

  • In Defense of Hillbilly Heaven

    Title and context stolen from Don Surber

    Don is a genuine professional writer and I won’t try to top him.

    OK, that is perhaps the least surprising headline imaginable for a West Virginia blogger, but I must defend Hillbilly Heaven BBQ in Hamilton, Ontario, whose owner Cameron Bailey has posted signs that include: “Things we don’t have and never will: halal, rice, kabob, shawarma, fries, wings, ¼ chicken, Mexican, burgers.”

    Pretty much, you go into the restaurant and order barbeque.

    And not just any old barbeque. Another sign reads: “What would make you think this was a Korean BBQ? Do you see any f’n ducks in the window?”

    And perhaps the least offensive sign of all: “To better serve you, our staff speaks English.”

    Don, like Jonn, is not a native born hillbilly, but this easily qualifies a Sunday Silly post regardless.  The PC police in Canada are in a snit… Just imagine what would happen here?

  • Gordon Duff misses Hitler

    At his latest shit-for-brains missive for shit-for-brains, Gordon Duff at Veterans Today tells his readers that they should “Kill Democracy Before It Kills Us”. he begins with this brainless paragraph;

    More than that, fascism, which I was taught to hate as either a form of socialism or corporate control was actually an almost ideal economic system, free trade, workers rights, corporate profits soared, standard of living continually raised, never any debt and no need for police state laws.

    Yeah, i suppose that whole Gestapo thing was just a figment of the dissidents’ imagination. It wasn’t just Jews who wound up in concentration camps, if I remember my sixth grade history class correctly.

    Fascism had nothing to do with race laws, oppression of Jews or any of that. These policies were totally separate and are now subject to open warfare among historians, some of whom say “it never happened.”

    Yeah, we know what you think, Duff. And the world is still flat out there in Duffenberg But he thinks we should ignore the devastation that fascism brought to most of the world should be ignored and pay attention to the economic policies. Never mind that the economic policies were based largely on government military spending that kind of spending that Duff and Ron Paul seem to detest.

    Then Duff buries himself in trutherism and conspiracy bull shit which are always just below the surface of his wild rants. And, of course, his audience is equally deranged;

    Mustafa Rahman:
    EVERY American needs to really take this article to heart and WAKE UP…. WE NEED TAKE ACTIONS TO CLEAN our dirty laundry…

    Yeah, I’ll bet Mustafa has no agenda beyond making America a better place.

  • Duff believes Ventura; smears Kyle

    Yeah, big surprise, but Gordon Duff thinks that Chris Kyle’s story about punching Jesse Ventura TFO is a right wing conspiracy against Ventura. Why? Well, Duff should know, he claims he was a sniper in Vietnam, so he knows;

    Part of my time in Vietnam was spent as a sniper. In real life, and this is how we have to be, snipers are seen as “backshooting cowards” by the rest of the military.

    Even with the old equipment we had, I could hit 3 people, “pink mist,” before they knew it from so far away it would take them an hour to get there, terrain as it is.

    I didn’t like it, it felt “dishonorable” to me but this is just my opinion.

    Yeah, it’s easy to call the occupation “dishonorable” when he was never a sniper. You forget we saw your records, Gordon. you were a rifleman for four months until you became a TOC-RAT gopher. You only spent 18 months in the USMC – that’s hardly enough time to even begin training let alone be the type of sniper he claims to be.

    So the rest of the crap in the article about him being a ninja-boxer dude (despite the fact that he claims he’s 100% disabled) is probably bullshit, too.

    And he keeps calling Kyle “Kris Kyle”, but it’s really Chris Kyle, i know because I bothered to read the book, which Duff admits that he never will, but that doesn’t stop Duff from criticizing Kyle;

    Military service is a trap, the more “special” or “secret” the bigger the trap and, as so many know, the more unstable and purely delusional those around you can get, especially “leadership” such as it is.

    Anyway, who am I to judge?

    Exactly, Duff, who are you to judge with your extensive 18 months of military service?

    I am not so sure I believe Mr. Kyle, which, since he presents himself as a SEAL, dishonors all SEALS. Marines would have shut his lip long ago.

    He is a SEAL, Duff, not “presenting himself” as one. I checked on him, just like I checked on you.

    Just because you like Ventura and Ron Paul, that doesn’t mean Kyle is lying, it just makes you hard-headed and incapable of accepting things that don’t fit your world view. You forgot to mention that the Mossad probably put Kyle up to punching Ventura. that was the only bit of regular bullshit we’ve come to expect from your ignorant ass…er mouth.

  • Gordon Duff sees Mossad in Iraq bombings

    Our favorite lunatic, Gordon Duff, at Veterans Today, the guy who sees Mossad everywhere he looks, sees their invisible hand in the massive attacks against Iraq this last week. His conclusions are flawless, well, unless you actually read his missive. The only proof he has is that “the daughter of a convicted Israeli spy was the only source” for the al Qaeda admission that they conducted the attacks;

    US counter-intelligence sources in Baghdad indicate there are no Al Qaeda forces in Iraq and, if there were, there would be no reason for them to randomly attack “everyone at the same time.”

    On the other hand, Israel has recently moved troops and aircraft into Kurdistan without government approval and is the only possible “player” to benefit from a civil war in Iraq.

    Yes, we’ve been hearing that “there is no al Qaeda in Iraq” line for nearly a decade now, yet we’re always finding the corpses of dead al Qaeda leaders and what about the name of that organization “al Qaeda in Iraq”? What’s that about?

    And Duff always seems to know about secret troop movements from his living room on the other side of the world. Secret troop movements that people with satellite imagery and eyes of their own can’t seem to see.

    Recent sightings of “non Arabic speaking” troops moving through Jordan recently are now believed to have been Israeli units moving off the Golan Heights in generic military attire.

    Yes, I’m pretty sure that Jordan would allow Israel to move uniformed formations through their kingdom. I guess the details are too much for Duff to address.

  • TAH free Holiday diet session.

    Just read further to find out more about our amusing diet.

    In the mean time. I made a mistake of looking on Youtube for I@D. It is amazing how little people understand about medical procedural. It is even worse why people try to play doctor. This is a example of how to do it right.

    Then there is this.

    0:15 Sterile field? On a regular paper towel? Who are we kidding.
    0:26 Sterile gloves go on.
    1:06 Sterile gloves are no longer sterile by not having a assistant to open the needed items. Refereed to having pair of dirty hands.
    1:10-1:18 If you are going to be the person doing the procedure then take charge. Unless they are equal or superior in medical training/knowledge then tell them to back off.
    1:20-1:24 This is why a digital block is needed because you prevent additional pain to the patient and prevents the nerves from causing the jerks from the said pain. Also not to mention the fact you have a sharp object in you hand. In which you should not be doing with a needle.
    1:35 Why you need a digital block.
    1:40 perhaps you should clear out the room and telling the person not to look is going to do anything.
    2:30-2:45 What is that, if your doing to do something then DO IT. Also see reason while you should have used a scapula.
    3:33 The Iodine is not going to work unless you let it set. But then again that much iodine is not going to do anything.
    3:59 Again WTF?
    5:00 Yet again?
    5:57 No he does not “need another one” He would be able to “handle” it if he had a digital block.
    6:00 You are just using words from the ER episode that you watched last night, just stop talking.

    But here is another example wit the title “ObamaCare in Vermont – Infected Thumb” Again stresses the need for a digital block. Oh and before you pat yourself on the back before doing this hack job. That it is what happens if something goes wrong.

    If you are still reading this looking for the diet advice, I recommend re-reading/watching the above. If that does no work I would recommend looking up the related videos. If that does not help you lose/keep off the weight you ether have a iron gut or in the medical field.

    So Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good diet.

  • 364 Days and Counting. The Beginning of the End?

    Just a reminder that yesterday marked a milestone of sorts.

    The Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2112. And there is that Galactic Alignment thing.

    Also by this time next year we’ll either have a new CinC  on line or maybe be wishing the Mayans were right?

    Oh yeah,  December 21 is Jane Fonda’s birthday as well.

    NOW cue the Twilight Zone intro…
