Robbie Williams To Be Next Captain Kirk?

This can't be right, can it? Robbie Williams, the obnoxious British pop star?

Just let Star Trek rest in peace already.  I swear, Hollywood is no longer in the business of making films, its now just made up of graverobbers.  Of course, they don't stop at robbing the dead, do they...

Giant LEGO Aircraft Carrier!

This thing is so AWESOME!  The Aircraft Carrier is 18 feet long replica of the Harry S. Truman, and look at the detail!  Now I wanna go buy LEGOs.  I love LEGOs.  I oughta dig mine out, I think I still have them, haven't played with them in ages when back when I was a kid. 

The end of that first link has even even more pics of the Carrier.

Beauchamp Reminds Me Of...

Proud Liberal Vet.  For those that didn't get the joy of seeing PLV in action, it was some great trolling.  He was a total raging psycho, claiming he was in some bogus Army cold weather unit in Antarctica.  Funny shit.  Mrs. Peel Dave in Texas made a great parody of PLV in her old blog. Mrs. Peel just archived it, I think.

Scott Beauchamp Blog Dissection

Lets open this sucker!  Scalpel! 

the first contradiction is Here and Here.

The first link (which you can see in entirety on my last post), posted on May 8th, offers up a vivid scene in Iraq, of a Sgt ordering a soldier named LeClaire to open up on a group of Iraqi children.  He also talks about an unidentified soldier shooting an Iraqi man in the face.

The next post I link comes from just a week later, saying the following,

deployment
in short, our units deployment is postponed until further notice...maybe even cancelled....
posted by Scott Thomas at 2:36 PM 5 comments

Most of his posts talk about being in Germany, so I assume that's where he's blogging from at the time of the Deployment post on May 14.

More contradictions.

He talks about LeClaire, who is in all likelyhood a fictional character.  In his post here, he talks about LeClaire getting his pecker blown off. 

after the coming back to america introduction theres sgt. Leclaire with his dick blown off and the house 12 working girl with her stuff blown out in the other direction and both lost darkeyes brooding on prisonfleshes of human animal bodies the bridge across being only that connection spark instant also lost as quickly.

Then, we go back to the story where he was in Iraq and kids were getting blown away(go to my last post to see the whole thing, his link and post). Sgt. LeClaire, who had his schmeckel blown off April 26, is killing Iraqi kids in early May, and is being ordered around by another Sgt(was he demoted?).  So LeClaire was a Sgt who had his pecker blown off, then was wasting Iraqi kids, and a private?

___________


Next there is some insight into his motivations.

In this post, he says the following.

Every morning I get up and feel retarded for joining the army.
Every morning I get up and feel proud for serving my country.
Every morning I get up and dont want to get up.
Every morning I get up and wish that I was back in college.
Every morning I get up and appreciate everything that I'm learning here.
Every morning I get up and wish my roomate wasnt such a big fan of Disturbed...
Every morning I get up and I'm a little more liberal than the day before
Every morning I get up and try to recite a fact from something I read last night.
Every morning I get up and wish I was as free as the people that I'm "fighting for"
Every morning I get up and think I'm a tool for global corporations
Every morning I get up and miss my mother
Every morning I get up and shave
Every morning I get up and realize how much I love my comrades
Every morning I get up and say I'm Scott Beauchamp, in the army, living in Germany, and this is my life, and I'm going to be treated like shit today and do landscaping and janitorial work and practice killing people and there could be no other way to appreciate what I had or what I'm going to have once I get out other than enduring this now when all I really want to do is teach history and lay around and read and hustle around and repair the world (tikkun olam) and sift through knowledge and improve culture and learn how to sail and work in soup kitchens and start a family and really, I mean REALLY study the best the western civilization has to offer and facilitiate the mystery and power through everything I do, but I cant do it without getting through this army experience first, which will add a legitimacy to EVERYTHING i do afterwards, and totally bolster my opinions on defense, etc, and of course its making me a lot less lazy, just because im not use to being lazy any more, etc.
Every morning I get up

Then there's this...

ill return to america an author
bavarian stories in some sort of rounded metaphysical order...personality death stories intersecting with poesy home memory reflections. You begin with a place and an action and let it carry in every direction till the words are vibrating on the page, dripping in thick robust delapidated barnhouses of adjectives and pronouns...no time for the subtle gray faced calculations of a PERFORMED intimacy...go...but remember what Kerouac forgot: revision is spontaneous also.
a brief coming back to america introduction, stories about soldiers, prositutes, innocent students rendered featherless by dark rivets of experience and the decadence of human pursuits in every vein...and then there's the veins...follow 'em.
Cut your wrist let it bleed onto the paper in unique soulpatterns of mindthoughts. after the coming back to america introduction theres sgt. Leclaire with his dick blown off and the house 12 working girl with her stuff blown out in the other direction and both lost darkeyes brooding on prisonfleshes of human animal bodies the bridge across being only that connection spark instant also lost as quickly. a revery of mothertalk and love looks back in the soft american night. the awol in bamberg lying to make himself into someone who can actually touch another persons lips to his heart to feel. a grandma memeory of cracked heavy crystal balls and smoke serpitine around stacks of tarot cards. the smell of the antiseptic physical therapy room filled with limbless veterans, some missing half a face, and one wearing a god bless america t-shirt...of course this was all before the war, but the war is closer here and an everlengthening shadow over my half closed eyes...but this is all in our time, here and coming back to america...

ghosts scared too
movie night:
Scarface, National Lampoons European Vacation, Get Rich or Die Trying, Blow, Hamburger Hill, and Ghostbusters (again)...rereading Dershowitz's book "Shouting Fire" on civil liberties....
I know that NOT participating in a war (and such a misguided one at that) should be considered better than wanting to be in one just to write a book...but you know, maybe id rather be a good man than a good artist...be both? Some can and some cant...i guess it all depends on how great an artist, or how great a man they want to be. Sometimes it feels like i have to choose between being totally loyal to thoughts of my future family OR totally loayl to chasing down the muse. must find a middle ground.
p.s.-The movies were not my decisions but watched on a basis of consensus.

My Day off is just that
Americans dont like smart people…at least people who are intelligent just to expand human knowledge. If youre smart, it better lead to riches. And as for the all american heroes, they’re not more intlligent than you…just sexier or faster or in a gang, or, like, really really really good at football. It leaves no hope for those who are pretty useless save their intellect. Sorry AJ. You’ll always be MY hero.
Today: went to the library, checked out some new movies, was on the internet FAR too long….listened to Wilco and The Smiths….have to work 24 hr CQ tomorrow night. Damn.
Not much else to say really. Vicar in a TuTu.

We also have this from him, regarding Cheney, he quotes a statement from Cheney at the Washington Institutes Soref Symposium, Apr 29, 1991, he quotes it, then says;

I miss political arguments. There seems to be a consensus with all the boys overseas...we laugh harder at CSPAN than comedy central. Silly republicans.
posted by Scott Thomas at 4:13 AM

I think these are all interesting insights into his character, I'll update with what I think is important in a bit. 

*Bryan at HotAir points out in the May 8th link that Beauchamp says the Chaplain was handing out Bibles.  I noticed that too, but I hadn't bothered to mention it, so Bryan gets the nod.

*Enlightened, in my comments points out two interesting things that roughly follow some of Beauchamp's stories. Take a look, and be, er, enlightened!

i make me feel stupid
"Shit, I don't know...put a 556 in his head"
On the street below the mans brown face dissolves into a thick red mist. The lights in the cities houses shut off in unison. Elecricity rationing. Water rationing too. You ever tried to survive for more than a few hours in hundred and twenty degree weather without water? In the streets the kids bodies start convulsing in semi-orgasmic rhythms. Their pants fill up with shit and piss and the smart ones sneak out to the fields to hidden caches of water jugs and trinkets of candy from the american soldiers.
"See that sarge, kids digging or something?"
"Well, better safe then sorry. Cap his ass Leclaire."
"You sure sarge?"
"Well, im either right or wrong. And if I'm wrong im still right because i could have been right even though i was wrong."
They watch the sliver of red sun fall slower and slower, silhouetting the little barbarians falling bodies. The Chaplain turns and walks back towards the FOB in contemplation. Gotta rack out early tonight. Handing out bibles in the marketplace tomorrow, early. Unintelligible rap blares out of the open doors of the HUMVEE.

Found here, not that I think you'll be able to access it for long. I'm saving this for record because it seems to me he's saying that they just sort of executed a guy.

Check this shit out!  Our boy Scott says he was in Deutscheland a mere week after watching some kids and an Iraqi guy get mowed down!

Great News! Democrat Campaign Funds Now 10 to 1 Over GOP

And by great, I mean disastrous. 


The GOP knows why it has no fucking money, they sold out their base at every turn, immigration being the biggie, and now, we're all in deep shit, as the Socialists now have a huge money edge(go figure).  The only thing we have going for ourselves right now is that the Dems are such colossal fuckups that there's still time for them to step in a few steaming piles before election and maybe even out the ante.

Guy Wrongly Arrested For Carrying Pistol Openly

This is an interesting article.

The guy was going to a festival of some sort called Harborfest, with a pistol holstered at his side.  Police arrested him, as there was a local ordinance that barred handguns from the festival.  Turns out, State law overrides the ordinance and allows for open carry.  The charges were dropped, and the guy is now taking legal action.

Former SNL Writer And Kossack Says What He Believes

Read it, screencap it before its purged. 

Actually, Screencap the comments, Ace has the post capped for when the inevitable purge comes down.  Comments might be useful too.


UPDATE!


The douche from SNL Says the following in comments.

I sincerely apologize for any offense you might

have taken. It was not my intent to defame or offend anyone who might sign a piece of paper saying they are available to kill whoever their marginally superior officer tells them to, wherever they are sent, for 1200 dollars a month. Such people are not responsible for the people they kill, or the people that are killed by those they feed, support, or maintain.On the contrary, they are in fact, larger than life, and immune to criticism, reproach, or correction. In short, they are all heroes. Why? Because they are, that's why. I'm sorry you took any other message from it.

...And He Spoke Thus Unto The Crowd

"Know Me, and I shall pander to thee"

That was the message Our Lord and Savior Barack Obama brought to La Raza this weekend. 

Again, He spoke to the crowd, rebuking the Republicans;

"was both ugly and racist in a way we haven't see since the struggle for civil rights."

The Republican heretics angrily declared that it was not race they disliked, but rather the defying of law and risk to National Security. 

He Who Is then rebuked the unbelievers again, warning "Silence, Demons! Those who follow the dark prince Cheney shall soon be made to spend an eternity toiling in torment to pay for subpar government health care, their coffers drained to give money to illegal immigrants."

The Obamassiah then said, "One day, I shall return and hold a 4 to 8 year reign on Washington DC, and all illegal immigrants shall be made legal, and reap benefits paid for by the American Middle Class."

Chinese Government Deals With Uighur Muslims The Way They Deal With Anything

Meaning of course, random executions.

Some people might think this is the way to go, but I'm sorry, this is sick, to just sweep into town and start lining people up and mowing them down.  If the gov't finds a real terrorist (and there are real terrorists in the region they're targeting and have real proof, try them in a fair military tribunal, and if they are guilty, then give the terrorist scum a belly full of lead. 

It doesn't surprise me that the Chinese are so tough on Muslims.  My understanding is they've had border issues with the Pakistanis in Kashmir region, plus issues in their central Asia region, where there is a significant Muslim population.  The Uighurs are I believe remnants of the Mongol expansion, bringing Islam back with them from their time in Middle East.

After 9/11, my father had to go to China for business, and he said security in China's airports was super tight, it made the bumped up US security look pathetic, with heavy searches of everyone, bags completely sorted through, multiple pat-downs, metal detectors, the works.

Kid Nicknamed 'Chucky' Issued Asbo Order After a Year of Trashing Town

This kid got his nickname from the murderous doll Chucky from the Child's Play movies. Local police said complaints about this kid took up about 85% of their time on the job.  Eighty-Five Percent.

The little bastard was allowed to rampage through town for over a year, getting drunk, smashing windows, tagging buildings, harassing and attacking people in the streets, making sexually harrassing statements to women, stealing lead from the school rooftop (tiles? trim?), making racist threats, theft and robbery, even trying to back over his own aunt when she refused to to drive him to a friends house. 

How the hell did the authorities let this go on for a whole fucking year?

Correction: Upon further investigation, Asbo seems to be some sort of citation/probation order thing?  The hell?  Send his ass to juvenile detention!  Like he cares about a fucking Asbo order.

Britain is messed up, and I hope they get their shit together.

Update: Hello, Hotair readers!   w00t! Two Hotair links in two days.  Not bad.

Asian Parasite Causing Collapses in European Bee Population?

There is a strange thing called Colony Collapse Disorder happening to honeybees in the US and Europe.  Bee colonies are simply dying off en masse.  You may have heard of it happening in the news, with the requisite hyperventilating speculations of catastrophe and baseless guesses as to what caused it, so often spouted by media. 

That said, it is a serious problem for both beekeepers and farmers, particularly those with orchards.  An Asian parasite that lives off of honeybees is likely the culprit.  The Spanish scientist in the article thinks that Asian breeds of honeybee are better equipped to combat the effect of the parasite, while Western Honeybee breeds have no resistance to the parasite, and that is why they are having such a nasty effect and collapsing whole colonies.

 He hasn't confirmed that this the same problem that the US is facing, but it sounds likely.  If it is, treatment is apparently not that expensive, so hopefully over time, the problem will be dealt with.
