Hookers at the point

One of the side effects of the Calgary stampede is
the city is full of drunken horny cowboys. My moderately
priced downtown hotel's parking lot is apparently street-
hooker central. I'm high enough up that I can't see if they
are pretty or ugly, but it looks like there is a rotating
crew of 4 to 6 blondes.

I have no problem with hookering (hookerfication, hookerstitution?)
on any moral grounds, but do their johns have to make so much
noise? Horns and the roar of engines, followed by burning rubber
declares to the world that some young guy got his first bj. I have
to fight the urge to switch to granpa simpson voice "keep it down,
you whippersnappers!"

Being high above them in the hotel, I can watch the activities like
it's a giant sim game, "SimCity, the dark side". Miniature car rolls
up, honks their horn (/shake fist "quiet!" /shake fist off)
negotiations happen, roll around the block, dirty deed, and back
again and goodbye with a hug. Repeat. (the repeat part makes it
fairly disgusting) It's better than the TV here, no hbo at all, so I'm
stuck watching the canadian discovery (all global warming, all the time)
channel, or the pimps and hos down below.

Just what you wanted, huh Joe? As if hearing the johns and the hookers down on the street corner weren't enough.

Got to love those ultra-thoughtful spammers.

The other side of Porkbusters, the people who need pork

Here in Alaska the governor is discussing a PR campaign would attempt to tell the rest of the US that Alaska is not just a consumer of Federal money, and it would "tell Alaska's story": (from a column by Beth Bragg) The governor wants to "tell Alaska's story" to the Lower 48 so folks down there have a better idea of what it's like up here. The goal is to end the ridicule we've been so good at inspiring lately, what with our bridges to you-know-where and our desire to drill for oil in a wildlife refuge. The thinking goes like this: If we can educate the critics with pictures of a desolate ANWR and defuse the comedians with pictures of a serene and congenial Ted Stevens, then we can move on to our ultimate goal, which is building bridges to you-know-where and drilling for oil in a wildlife refuge. Or as the Governor actually said: "Alaska does not just take. We give, and we have the capacity to give much, much more -- if permitted to do so,&

Haditha slant in the press

Image
There's not much actual information out in the press about what really happened in Haditha, but most of what has come out is highly slanted against the marines. The only data point I've seen is an interview with the lance corporal who survived the initial IED explosion. Here's a summary of the interview here: (RHCP) (video here ) Again, here's a summary of the salient facts that Crossan related: 1) The Marines knew there was going to be an attack on the command outpost, which would explain the high degree of suspicion about the Iraqi's in a taxi that first refused to stop, then ran away from them. 2) There was an IED attack on his humvee, and a squad was sent in 3) Insurgents began firing on the Marines almost immediately. 4) He's not claiming to have witnessed anything. The first slant that has already been pointed out in several places (hotair), is in the times online from london, where they grabbed one quote from Corporal Crossan , “were blinded by ha

Offshore blogging again

I had to zip offshore yesterday at the last minute, changing my tranquil sunday at home to a mad dash to the dock, then a four hour crew boat ride to the rig. Not too bad of a ride, I only reached the nasty salivating feeling before we arrived at the rig, it sucks when the high point of the evening is not puking. I stayed out on the back deck most of the time since I won't get sick if I can see the horizon and not smell that boat smell of lysol/oldpuke/diesel fuel that inhabits the inside of the boat. It was a pretty clear night, and the only lights were the lights of rigs and production platform as we cruised past, so I had a clear view of the big dipper and the north star and I willed those two pointer stars to move faster around and speed up time. Apparently there is a meteor shower for this part of the month, because I saw one fall, but it didn't look real, more like a reflection off of metal into my eyes. The next meteorite was more emphatic, maybe even a fireball, b
