Albanians Love Bush and America

Well Surprise, Surprise!!!! There is a country other than the U.S. which loves the U.S. It's kind of amazing really when you think of it. The entire world takes turns being helped by us and being damaged by us to the point that no one really knows when one or the other is happening and the mood is much the same as the actions. Half the time other countries seem to love us and the other half they seem to hate us. Our own people seem to teeter and totter back and forth between love and hate depending on who is in office and other political goings on that may be occurring at any given point in time. In this particular case I wonder if Albanians love America more than Americans do. As stupid as it may seem to support Bush at any time you have to admit it's a bit touching really. I think it's great that somone loves our country so passionately and if I were Bush I would be in love with Albanians after that reception. check out the video.



THE FOLLOWING IS A COPY PASTE OF SOMEONE FROM KOSOVO'S BLOG ENTRY RELATING TO THIS VIDEO: 10th June 2007 A historic date for all Albanians President Bush is given a hero's welcome in Albania. This is the first visit ever of a serving president of USA to visit Albania and will be remembered long time, even though it only lasted eight hours. Albania is the only country where no one has seen any protests against USA or the President. Some even say the Albanians are the most proamerican people on the planet. This is not a hoax. This is a real deal and there is a reason for it. Why Albanians love Americans? Simply because americans are a freedom loving people and they showed this love in practice many times in the history of Albanians (and other small nations) by defending the Albania's right to exist as a state despite the appetite of many world powers and neighboring countries to carve and erase the country from the map. e.g. USA's President Wilson in 1919, at the Paris Peace Conference, was a crucial voice that saved Albania from being ceased as a state. Also in a more recent case, in 1999, it was USA and United Kingdom (leading) that saved kosovar albanians from being extinct by the killing machinery of Serbia. Therefore, the actions of the american people speak very loud about their just intentions towards small nations like Albanians. And remember, Kosovo had no oil worthy of such intervention in 1999! You americans should be proud of your soldiers who risk their own life to bring peace and stability to the world. They need your support! Albania as a state had its ups and downs in relations with USA, but after fall of communism in 1990 (something that America and Bush Senior again helped to get rid off), since then, Albania and albanians are back on track to drive forward a lasting relationship with the american people. We urge the american government to be more involved in Albania and Kosovo, to work closely with Albanians and deter potential involvements of radical islamists who may want to exploit new democracies like ours, by offering the very much needed financial incentives, but with a high price in return. We are aware of this, but we need your help! Albanians are a nation that will long remember your sincere attitude and support in our cause to freedom and democracy. Albanians stand united with Americans in the War on Terror! If you are told different, don't believe them! They are all ill wishers and they'll do anything to convince you otherwise! SUPPORT INDEPENDENCE FOR KOSOVA! TIME IS NOW! http://videoshqip.blogspot.com p.s. If you are an american and you ever thought that America should not get involved or intervene in hot spots around the world, we Kosovar albanians are a living proof to show you that such intervention are needed to bring order and democracy in the world. If you think that by turning your back to the sufferings of other people will make your life better, you are terribly wrong and that makes you a bad person. Sooner or later, the global instability is going to effect your home. War is never ok, but we come from there and had it not been for America's intervention, there would have been hardly anyone to tell you what really happened in Kosova. p.p.s. Bush dropped his watch, time 00:54! As you may notice in the video, Bush's wristwatch fell off at some point, but it has been confirmed by media (VizionPlus TV) that it was found by the bodyguards who handed it over to Lady Bush later on. And you will see in many other videos Bush wearing his watch again while entering Air Force One during departure as he waives back to us. If he had a spare watch, most likely it would have been inside the airplane, therefore, there is no doubt that Bush got his original watch back and everything was accidental. So, don't worry, be happy, time is still ticking on and everything is in Bush's hands! Kosovo will be Independent soon, think of 4th July 2007 as the day of happening, where we can celebrate together with Americans, The Independence Day. p.p.p.s. Bush's wristwatch! Ok, we admit the wristwatch enigma is very humorous. But, all puzzle pieces are falling into places. Watch closely at 01:00 (03:06 if embedded) in this video, President Bush puts his hands behind his back, while a bodyguard standing very close to him behind, takes off his watch. The watch then has been returned by the bodyguard to Laura and Bush got his watch back by the time he climbed the airplane, where you can see visibly while waiving, he's had his watch back! Puzzle solved but yes we've had a good laugh after all!

Man in Wheelchair Accidentally Hitches An 80 mile per Hour Ride On A Big Rig

A man in Michigan who is in a wheelchair was at a gas station and accidentally got his chair attached to the front end of a Semi-truck. The driver drove away without noticing and reached speeds of up to 80 miles per hour before pulling off to a truck stop when police were called by passing motorists. The man in the wheelchair was held safely in his chair by the seat belt provided on the chair. I don't know what that man's situation is relating to his bladder but if I was him I would have lost mine even if I had originally had control of it.

Another Dumb-Ass Texan

Gilberto Cantu, a Texas truck driver, has made the bone-head mistake of driving his truck through a tunnel that was too damn short for his truck despite bells-whistles-warning lights-traffic stop lights-police officers ordering him to stop on loud speakers. This guy is definitely a candidate for any upcoming Darwin Awards. What a mess!! The top of his truck was peeled like a sardine can when you open it. Who knows if any of his load was damaged but his truck sure was. Not only did he damage his truck beyond recognition and break cazillions of laws, he also damaged the tunnel forcing it to have to close down. This guy cost all sorts of money for all sorts of people. The taxpayers of the place he messed up will have to pay for that repair, the trucking company he worked for will have to pay hefty fines not to mention replace his truck, and he will likely get fired. Truck drivers every where should be mad that this one made the ranks of dumb butts in the news. Sorry to piss people off by calling Texans dumb asses but it is my duty as an Oklahoman born citizen to insult Texans at every opportunity. Gooooooo SSSooooonnners!!!!!! OOOOOOOOOOO....U!!

Is China Trying To Kill U.S.? Biological Terrorism?

Odd that all the crap that has been causing us healt problems lately has been coming from China. Dogs and cats everywhere dying in mass quantities because of tainted products coming from China. Now other products from China are tainting the U.S. consumers. Now it's toothpaste which was poisoned with something akin to anti-freeze. Check out this New York Times article about the tainted toothpaste. China is blaming Panama for the tainted products, but I figure all are to blame for this one. Whomever uses poison in their products without notifying everyone is definitely liable for something. At the very least people should have a choice of whether or not they want to use poison products. People every day insert botulism into their faces so that they will have a permanently surprised looking face, but at least they know what it is when they do it as weird as they may be for doing it in the first place. Just as Canada and the U.S. are scrambling around trying to stop tainted toothpaste from killing more of their people they intercepted corn gluten from China with more poison in it. What the hell? I'm sorry for taking the offensive leap, but things are looking a little shifty. I mean come on we all know whether we want to admit it over here in America that half the Asians could beat us out in a scholastic meet on any day we choose. We aren't the brightest bulbs when compared with the rest of the planet. Don't try to shoot me full of shit and tell me that the innocent Chinese government didn't know or is somehow stupid enough to think that a little bit of anti-freeze, some plastic products and fertilizer wouldn't make a few people sick and a whole bunch of already sick people dead. If you believe that I have a bridge to sell ya. I think that our government needs to put every inch of every thing coming into the U.S. from China through rigorous testing even if it means we have to pay a bit more for the product. At least if things are tested once a month or something then we won't have as much crap zipping across the borders, and maybe the Chinese will stop trying to kill us. In the mean time people all I have to say is don't eat Chinese made products, and before you dumb rednecks go crazy and extreme please note that I am not saying don't buy products from Chinese Americans or go to Chinese restaurants.

What Class Are You?

Ok. So the New York Times has a class calculator that you can choose options on in order to find out what class you fall into in 4 different categories. The categories are Occupation - Education - Income - Wealth. Check it out and let me know what class you are in my comments. I am Middle Class in Occupation falling into the 45th percentile of the country - Upper Middle Class in Education falling into the 69th percentile - Lower Middle Class in Income falling into the 38th percentile - Lower Middle Class in Wealth falling into the 37th percentile - My average is in the 47th percentile. I have to say one thing that I am disappointed in as it relates to this little calculator is that my education is Upper Middle Class and the rest of me is well below that. I suppose that shows you just how lazy I really am when it comes down to it. The other frustrating thing is that I am middle class in my occupation but I am getting paid a lower middle class income. What the hell is that about? I would venture to guess it is because I have a lower middle class attitude, a lower middle class confidence level and a bottom 5th class mouth. We'll see whether or not any of that changes now that I'm doing the work I'm doing as it relates to my Remediation of an Angry Fat Ass blog.

Stop Sanctions Against The Sudanese Regime That Has Killed And Displaced Thousands In Darfur Or You Will Lose Coca-Cola Forever

Scary thought right? To have to choose between having a Coke and a smile or stopping genocide. Hmmmmm. I wonder what we will do? Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, the Sudanese ambassador to Washington, held a press conference and threatened to take away Coca-Cola if we didn't stop the sanctions against his country which were imposed because over 400,000 people have been killed and others displaced and raped and more in a mass genocide against the people of Darfur. The Washington Post did an article highlighting some of the more idiotic things the ambassador said in defense of his country. Among the things the ambassador said was that the U.S. was the only country that said anything bad was happening in his country, that no one is dying in Darfur accept those who are fighting with their own people like cousins against cousins, that he and the other members of his government are the agents of peace, that the retaliation of his government would be to stop the trade of gum arabic to the U.S. which would prevent us from having Coca-Cola among other things, and that he would remove sugar from the people of Darfur which they greatly need in order to survive. There is more and eventually you have to realize that this guy is an idiot. He is the one they sent to represent his people in Washington and he isn't the brightest bulb so I am wondering what the rest of the people in his government must be like. With people like him running things it's no wonder they are killing off people in mass quantities. Dumb people are put into fear easily and fear makes dumb people do dumb things. Just look at our country.

$55,000 Per Speech Speaker For Hire

What in the world is happening when any person at all can command a fee for a speech that is more than a hell of a lot of people make in an entire year? John Edwards spoke to UC Davis students about poverty for $55k. He yaps about financial barriers for college students and then ups the next years salary for them by charging a crap load of money to talk to them about how messed up the world is for it's problems. What an idiot. Why even speak on poverty if you are gonna charge that much to do it? Choose a different topic or charge a different price. I'm all for people making money but geez! $200 or $400 haircuts or whatever it is and now this. No way would I vote for this guy. At the very least he would spend too much of the taxpayers money on pointless crap he could have saved money on.

Another Hitchens Video

This time he is battling Hannity. Hannity drives me nuts. He has various good points to make here and there but the problem with him is that he is not willing to listen to other people's points of view and learn from them. The thing that amazes me about this issue is that people are mad because there are those who tell the truth about Falwell and they ask for someone to respect them in their death by saying nothing negative about the guy even though he is a negative individual. The same people that say this are the ones who said all sorts of negative crap about Saddam when he was killed.

Christopher Hitchins Tells the Truth About Falwell

I don't know who this guy Christopher Hitchens is but he has a book out called "God is Not Great" and is on CNN talking about Jerry Falwell in this video clip. I have to agree with all that he says. He's not being an ass and wishing the guy dead or praising the fact that he is dead, but he's not giving the guy all sorts of credit for being a great guy when he wasn't. Falwell had a twisted view of the bible and propagandized the gullible nation. He and anyone else for that matter should only get credit if they do their job accurately and with quality. It seems that religion and politics are the only places we can get away with that crap. Any who...... here's the video.

Interesting Statistics on Internet Porn

Here are some interesting statistics on Internet Porn which will give you some insight on our country. A couple of things that are funny when I think about it after watching this video. First of all the U.S. Produces 89% of the porn on the internet yet everyday people are protesting "adult toy stores" and strip clubs etc. Interesting that 70% of the porn viewed every day is viewed during the 9-5 workday. Ladies that tells you what your husbands are getting accomplished at work, and you know it's the husbands because only 28% of internet porn viewers are female. Not only that but people in congress bring up different fights against particular parts of the porn industry while they are at work and yet the U.S. Revenue made from Internet porn alone is $2.84 billion yearly. Check out the video the statistics are presented in an interesting way. However, do not view it with minors around you until you have viewed it first for their approval. There is no nudity in the video but the idea of nudity is clear which only serves to assist a little hormonal teenager's mind.

Sharia Muslims are on the Lookout for Lesbians

A Nigerian lesbian woman who married 4 brides on the same day is now in hiding from the Islamic police. The woman (Aunty Maiduguri) and her 4 partners were born muslim and therefore they fall under Sharia law where they reside. Apparently, in their culture (Islam) the men are allowed to take up to four wives as long as he can provide for all of them. Abiding by her culture (minus the man part) Aunty Maiduguri took 4 wives. The problem is just the one little part she's missing. No one would have said anything about the whole mess if she were a man. But alas she is not. I wouldn't be surprised if we are soon to see in the news that this woman and her partners have been killed unless she is somehow able to escape the country. The theatre where the colorful wedding was held has been torn down because of "allegedly" being built on wrongly allocated land, among other reasons. What a fiasco. I hope someone with money helps these women escape the clutches of those who will jail and stone them to death. If not, I'm assuming that all these women felt as if their love was so great it was worth the risk of death by stoning. I just worry that if/when they get caught (knowing oppressive cultures of men) their punishment will include some "off the record" sexual abuses. I'm glad I live in the U.S. where women can live together and pretend to be married without being hunted down and killed, where if they do they can count on people like Fred Phelps to protest at funerals on the basis that homosexuals have too many rights, where though you are free it is only pretend. At least they let me pretend is all I have to say. I'll take that over a stoning any day.

Give Honor to Bert Brady Who Gives Honor to Our Troops

This guy is a pretty cool guy. He lives near the Dallas-Ft. Worth airport and nearly every morning he gets up and goes to the airport to greet the soldiers who are coming home. He is the founder of the Welcome Home Project which is an organization dedicated to making sure that every soldier arriving home at the airport has his very own welcome wagon. ABC News made this guy their person of the week a while back and I think he's a pretty cool guy A very touching story which proves you don't have to be political to be patriotic. No one has to support the war and no one is restricted from supporting the war if they simply support the soldiers who are fighting the war. Guys like Bert Brady and like the members of the Patriot Guard are a part of what makes our country great.

Can You Go Without Toilet Paper For a Year?

Check this article out. It is about a guy who is going through an entire year trying his best to make "No Impact" on the environment. It's a big challenge. In the end of course he has a book deal and there is a person following the whole thing on film so that they can do a documentary as well. I'm sure in the next couple of years we'll see the book and film out on the shelves. I'm interested in seeing the impact on the country with that.

New York Pictures

These are the pictures I took while I was in New York for the St. Patrick's Day weekend. If you want to look at any of the pictures closer just click on the picture and look at it. The enlarged version is not as high quality but the picture of the twin towers is better closer up.

This is what will stand in the footprint of the twin towers when all of the construction is completed. I'm sure there is all sorts of interesting stuff on the web about this building and its construction if you are interested in searching for it.

A picture of the Twin Towers from a plane. This must have been what the terrorists saw right before they flew down and killed all those people.

A police officer's weapons recovered from the rubble.

A man looking at all of the posters of the missing. In the museum the wall was wallpapered with these which had been scanned after the cleanup began. The personal phone numbers etc. had been covered up to protect the privacy of those who lost loved ones.

A spoon and fork found in the rubble from one of the cafe's at ground zero

Following weeks of controversy over the removal of two pieces of steel left standing in the shape of a cross when the World Trade Center collapsed, the Port Authority announces that they will be permanently displayed at the site.

I was touched by this picture so I had to take a picture of it. Most don't think of this during a tragedy. Medical teams are running around trying to triage physical injuries but afterward during the clean up and the recovery of bodies no one is their to triage our spirit. We should have these everywhere everyday.

This was a piece of one of the planes which hit one of the WTC buildings. It was found among the rubble. People were stepping over items like this trying to escape on that day.

A picture of the Pentegon

A picture of one of the victims with a bag of money which was recovered from the rubble

A fireman's breathing tank exploded and was later recovered from the rubble

A Muslim woman at a memorial service crying

A picture of one of the people who was missing. This was among the posters which were up when people were looking for their relatives. I took a picture of it because it made me think of my dad.

Melted metal found in the rubble

It took me a while to figure this one out. I stared for a long time finally realizing it was melted coins from the pocket of one of the victims. Of course the victims fate was much the same and I can only assume he was never located as heat that hot must have turned them to ash.

This little Port Authority Lamb survived the ordeal landing on top of some of the rubble. When he was found the rescuers wondered why the people who were there couldn't have had the same fate.

People hugging at one of the memorial sites

This is a chunk of metal and glass which melted together during the whole ordeal at the World Trade Center. Looking at this gives you an idea of how hot it got. Knowing that makes it easier to understand the images seen of people jumping from the building to their deaths, and it helps to understand why not all the bodies were recovered as they must have been turned to ash.

This was in front of the firehouse which is right next to ground zero. The red stripes have the names of all who were killed in the terrorist attacks on 9-11. The firemen there talk about it and tell everyone about how it is one of the ways that they can make sure we never forget them.

A fireman salutes and cries at a memorial service. This picture was up at the memorial site and I took a picture of it.

This is a picture of a fireman's jacket and hat. The jacket was shredded when it was found which tells you what likely happened to the man wearing it. His helmet was found a significant distance from the jacket days later. The jacket and helmet are in a glass case in a museum in front of a huge picture of the rubble. I took the picture not knowing that it would look like someone standing there in the rubble looking down.

Firemen crying at a memorial service. This picture was at the memorial site and I took a picture of it.

This is the snowy construction site where the World Trade Center once stood.

This is the site where the World Trade Center once stood. The workers worked even in the snow to complete the work.

This is some of the stuff that was pulled from the rubble. It is in a glass case in the museum next to the site where the buildings fell. The money people pay to get into the museum goes toward the memorial.

This is a picture of a car that was pulled from the rubble. It is completely unable to be recognized.

I have no idea what this is but it was at the memorial in New York so I took a picture of it
