Fun with stats

Another undeserved ranking

For the life of me, I do not believe I’ll ever figure google out… The other day, I quoted Jerry Pournelle writing about the Schiavo case,

“… As it is, she has no one to defend her but some people who actually believe in law and justice and are not raising a rebellion in her aid.

Esmerelda had her beggars as defenders. But she was hanged quickly even so. Along with her goat.”

Checking my stats, I saw that someone had googled “Esmerelda goat hanged” and my post quoting Dr. Pournelle was listed fourth… pages before the post at Chaos Manor Musings I gleaned the quote from.

Thanks for the (one) hit, google, but really, now: wouldn’t Pournelle’s original comment have been a better reference than my quote of him?

Yeh, I know it probably has to do with me linking back to his comment and others linking to my comment, etc., but still.

Thanks for all the fish.

(My hold on both the #1 and #2 google spots for both “I hate Intuit” and “hate Intuit” makes sense though. *heh*)

That’s America’s Third World Countyâ„¢ for ya…

… quasi-lbertarian (small “l”) and completely “Your business ends where my nose begins, bubba”

Found on the local grocery’s bulletin board:


You read the card right. it says, “We clean meth houses… ” Posted by Hello

A business that’s apparently been bringing clean meth houses to America’s Third World Countyâ„¢ since, oh, about 2004 or so, if it’s any of your business, which it isn’t…

Making omlets

what to do with broken eggs?

If the Terri Schiavo case establishes principle (that it is humane to starve someone to death), then it only seem right, as a commenter to IMAO has suggested (scroll down the comments), that this would be the answer to those who believe the death penalty for monsters is inhumane: simply treat them as Loony Left Moonbats and mass Media Podpeople (as well as monstrous judges, all) say is humane to treat those who have broken no law but are inconvenient because of their profound disability(ies).

That’s right: starve the bastards to death. After all, if it’s humane when applied to someone who’s not committed a crime, would it not also be humane when applied to monsters?
