WAY Too Much Fun: Extreme Aerial Bowfishing

Having been an archer all of my life – I’m a traditional recurve guy, no compounds for me – this video of guys shooting fish as they jump out of the water looks like possibly more fun than anyone ought to be allowed to have.

I have no idea what kind of fish they are or what induces them to jump like they do, but hitting a moving target that small with so little preparation time is nearly impossible.

US Army Choir: Battle Hymn of the Republic (update – lyrics added)

The US Army Chorus performing “Battle Hymn of the Republic” on the White House Lawn for Pope Benedict, 16 March 2008

Update: as per Clara’s request, the lyrics below.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His day is marching on.

I have read a fiery Gospel writ in burnished rows of steel;
“As ye deal with My contemners, so with you My grace shall deal”;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with His heel,
Since God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Since God is marching on.

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet;
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free;
[originally …let us die to make men free]
While God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! While God is marching on.

He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is wisdom to the mighty, He is honor to the brave;
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of wrong His slave,
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.

Hillary should definitely have run this ad in Pennsylvania.

Dick Quest Tangled Up

This is just so funny. It really is. There’s just something about some “celebrities”…

CNN personality Richard Quest was busted in Central Park early yesterday with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot, law-enforcement sources said.

Quest, 46, was arrested at around 3:40 a.m. after a cop spotted him and another man inside the park near 64th Street, a police source said.

Link via the only Likeable Lawyer. And as said lawyer notes “…with this sort of arrest on his record, he might as well just run for Congress. He’ll fit right in!“

Huh?!

This is a new one on me.

Ahmadinejad Says Oil at $115 a Barrel is Too Low, Calls for Higher Prices

TEHRAN, Iran —  Iran’s hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was quoted Saturday as saying crude oil prices at $115 a barrel are too low, and that oil must “discover its real value.”

Oil prices have hit all-time highs above $115 a barrel in recent weeks, amid reports that oil and gasoline stocks in the United States were lower than expected and as the dollar sinks to record lows.

“The oil price of $115 a barrel in today’s global markets is a deceiving figure. Oil is a strategic commodity that needs to discover its real value,” the Web site of Iran’s state-run television quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.

Fox News

Does anyone else, get the feeling that Hussein Obama’s new best friends, are laughing their asses off?

Economically do what Osama thought he could do to our economy…by sending planes.

Can just hear it now….’Brother Mahmoud, cut me some slack here, dude….I’m working on my re-election, couldn’t you and the other brothers, be happy say with…you know dude…ummm $110 a barrel, until my eight years are over with, please’?

 

Tipster in Texas Polygamist Sect Case Arrested, an OBAMA Delegate

Well, the horseshit is piling up faster than even I could have hoped vis-a-vis my previous post on this topic.

Those filthy little Sand People at the Jawa Report have dug up a doozie:

“A Colorado woman named Rozita Swinton has been arrested for pretending to be an abused child bride on the Texas FLDS compound.”

OK, so, Texas opens this can of worms, only to find out Alfred Hitchcock has sent The Birds to deal with the problem.

This whole case is based upon a lie, exactly as I suspected.

The original story is at ABC News.

“Texas Rangers participated in the arrest of a Colorado woman who allegedly pretended to be a girl locked in a basement. The Rangers were in the state as part of their investigation into the Texas polygamy custody battle, local police told ABC News.”

A pic of the perp.

I would let those with brains come to their own conclusions… but there’s more! Back to the Jawas.

“UPDATE: Rozita Swinton, the woman arrested today for falsely tipping off the police that she was an abused child bride at the FLDS polygamy cult in Texas is a PLEDGED BARACK OBAMA STATE DELEGATE!!

It was her initial false report that started the investigation which has led to the removal of 400 children from their parents’ custody.”

Is this an Obamanation, or what? I mean, I knew it was going to get interesting, but this story has started out with more out-of-sequence plot twists than Pulp Fiction has in its 168 minute extended version!

Holy. Living. Fuck.

I’m buying extra popcorn this week.
