No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Who would we retaliate against for an Islamic nuke?

by @ 8:09. Filed under War on Terror.

I’m a bit late in bringing this party to the Cheddarsphere, and I really should’ve done it Thursday as it was one of the topics Uncle J and I discussed. The New York Times reported on Tuesday that the feds are trying to figure out whether we would retaliate if a nuke were detonated by Islamokazis on American soil. There’s been an interesting discussion at Hot Air, where Allahpundit brought it up for discussion.

I said that I subscribed to the Curtis E. LeMay School of International Relations and said I would nuke everybody in response, specifically saying that Mecca should be no more (not even rubble). For those that say that would get the Muslims mad at us, I have a news flash – damn near all of them are already mad enough to work toward our extermination.

Uncle J had, on reflection, a better take. He’d wipe out the modern military capabilities of all the rogue nuclear states…with conventional weapons “because we don’t know WHO nuked us, so we can’t use nukes” (if I flubbed the quote, please correct me, UJ).

Hence, I’ve got a fresh poll up (at least it should be up by the time you read this). Vote there, discuss here.

Doyle wants you to protest high gas prices by…

by @ 7:22. Filed under Business, Politics - Wisconsin, Taxes.

…supporting higher gas taxes. Yes, you heard me right; to protest $3.40/gallon gas, Jim “Craps” Doyle wants you to pay $3.49/gallon(once the inevitable half-cent rounding occurs). Only a stupid lieberal who has no concept of the free market would think that increasing the amount of money government takes from the sale of a commodity would decrease the price of that commodity.

If only I had the audio from the 6 pm WTMJ-AM newscast from yesterday to go along with this, but since I don’t have recording software on my machine and I was in my car at the time, you’ll just have to rely on my memory.

Lost weekend catchup

by @ 6:40. Filed under Miscellaneous.

Damn allergies. Even the full-blown Claritin-D hasn’t been keeping up. Let’s see what I missed over the weekend:

– Brett Favre supposedly wants out after the Randy Moss deal fell through. There are no good guys here. Favre is an idiot for thinking that Moss either wanted to play here or would actually play hard here, and Wile E. Thompson (mud) needs to be fired post haste for doing absolutely, positively nothing to address any of the 3 biggest concerns the Packers had (RB, TE and WR).

– The Thompson Twins crushed the competition at the RPW convention Presidential straw poll. Fred, who hasn’t announced yet, took 95 of the 306 votes cast, while Tommy (The Other) took 84. In a bad sign for Rudi, Mitt Romney outdid him for 3rd, 41-35. Oh, and stick a fork in McShame; when Sam Brownback gets 14 and the other unannounced candidate on the straw poll ballot, Newt Gingrich, gets 12 to your 10, you’re done. Also, Scott Walker, who will be running for Milwaukee County executive again in 2008 in an attempt to keep the tax-and-spend-and-tax-and-spend Board in line, crushed the competition in the gubernatorial straw poll, getting 142 of the 306 votes cast.

– In the good news/bad news of fire department, the good news is Tuscarora, my canoe outfitter, survived the ongoing Ham Lake Fire with nary a burn (just a lost shed and fort lost in the first hours of the fire). Same with most of the other outfitters on the end of the Gunflint Trail, and nobody has been injured. The bad is a lot of people lost their cabins and homes up there, and Wilderness Canoe Base got wiped out. Also, the route Oly, his nephew and I intended to take this year ended up in the path of the fire.
