You know, I'd like a whole lot not to buy into the whole "wussification of America" story, but upon seeing that there was some kind of a hockey fight last night, and now a whole huge controversy, I can't help but recall when men were men, when hockey was hockey, and when, well, hockey was worth watching. If the teams needed to get it out, by God, they got it out. Now it's been neutered into some sort of figure skating with sticks. Remember Don Cherry, dammit?
So, without further ado, I present one of my fondest hockey memories from growing up in St. Louis: the 1992 brawl with the Red Wings. Go CuJo!!!
Two quick points:
(1)I'll take hockey fights if you'll also give me a larger, European-sized rink and no red lines so I can see more long passes and scoring as well.
(2) So all the good fights seem to be in basketball right now. Although I hate to give credence to such a theory but they really seem to come down incredibly hard on the b-ball players and the only reason I can think of is because they're black. The disproportionate level of punishment to basket-brawls vs. basebally doneybrooks strikes me as flatly racist.
For shame, America. For shame.

Talk about your spam...
Check out www.brookeoberwetter.com
If she's not a spammer and a complete slag at the same time, then hit me with a frying pan.
Supposedly she's some kind of intellectual working at one of those Washington Think Tanks.
But her blog tells it all, she wants a minithong and books supporting smoking. Maybe Brooke's not ready to do a Spears and show the goods but the thong gets close and both of them seem to be chain smoking trailer trash.
Oberwetter sure uses the word douche a lot. Does that mean she doesn't? Once again, it hardly seems what you'd expect an Ivy League graduate to talk about. Crumpets, yes, douches, no.
Most of her blog is full of teenage stuff about what tv shows she likes and how cool she thinks smoking is. Well we'll see about that when the PROVEN effects of smoking take their toll on her. Maybe Brooke should have her thong fun while she still can.
Then there are her friends. John Berlau for one. He's the head of something called the Center for Entrepreneurship even though all he's done is write conservative articles all of his life. Oh yes, he also wrote a supposedly scientific book about global warming even though he has no background in science. At a press conference someone asked him a couple of very basic science questions, he did not know the answers to any of them.
Berlau does like to hassle people. He had a whole project on prostiution, his thing was to blackmail people he thought could give him information. He went after web companies as he knew they were small businesses.
Andrew Langer for two. Langer runs a blog about liberty but it is really just a bunch of self indulgent crap. He ran for some political office and lost. Then he went on and on about how he was forced to do it and has no interest in politics.
Langer is also very tight with Berlau. Langer runs around the Internet posting denials about Berlau but like Berlau he never has any real facts.
Langer is a kook.
Last but by no means least is Brooke's fellow think tanker Julie DeFalco. At least DeFalco is honest. She says her think tank salary is low, so she runs a webcam on the side to buy fancy clothes like Max Mara boots and the like.

Douchebag.
And check yer facts, yo: I'll take VPL any day over a thong.
Kisses,
Brooke

Brooke,
We'll make some special VPL knickers just for you, in Andrew Langer and John Berlau patterns. The waistband will interleave the Max Mara logo and a special Brooke Oberwetter signature. Do you think you could model them on CEI's website? Do you think some of your colleagues would like some as well, and by colleagues we do NOT mean Marlo Lewis!

The Day the Tech Failed
by Joel Phillips
Scientology, at its most advanced levels, gives you control over matter, energy, space and time, which L. Ron Hubbard referred to as MEST.
Well, right now it is not working.
The Wiccans, Indonesians and Russians who are out to get me put up this blog. Take a look at http://joelphillipsreligiousfreedomwatch.blogspot.com and then www.religiousfreedomwatch.org and think about it.
Try as I might I was unable to control the electrons on this blog. It is so much harder than moving an ashtray! So I had to go and complain to Google about it. That makes me very sad. What is also sad is that I could not do it myself but I had to get S. Sullivan, who takes care of my computer matters to do it for me. I did not even know how to explain to Google what these people had done!
But, the struggle goes on! I will keep my site up to date with news on zealots, perverts, apostates, hardliners, pederasts, Jihad supporters, sleeper cell members, terrorists, bombers, child molestors and other foes of religious freedom.
Even though American Coast Title is not a Scientology WISE company its other two owners, Frank Berriz and Linda Blood, recognize the need to stand up for religious freedom. So too do the employees, Carla Baumgartner, Caitlin Bryant, Chris Celaya, Derrick Hatchett, Michelle Lindgren, Ron McIntosh, George Ramirez, Gaby Salgado, Jeff Smith, Al Solorzano, John Solorzano, Yvette Solorzano and Nicole Vong. Each and every one has stood straight and strong when the extremists have come knocking on the door of American Coast Title seeking to bring the destruction of religious freedom to Glendale.
If you want more information please look at either www.actfortitle.com or the Religious Freedom Watch site, it also has information about how we are taking active steps to capture these Indonesians and get them thrown into prison!

IT IS TIME TO ELIMINATE ISLAM AND THE FEBRUARY 10TH JIHAD
by Joel Phillips
publisher: www.religiousfreedomwatch.org
owner: American Coast Title www.actfortitle.com
Mark my words. This bunch of hackers from that V for Vendetta movie are all funded by Islamic Fascists. Some of them have probably even gone to Indonesia to meet with Bin Laden’s followers there!
The root of all terrorism is Islam. It is time to destroy it and remove all memory of it so it will never rise again!
You don’t believe me, well keep reading!
Just look at a few:
First World Trade Center Attack: A blind Egyptian guy was behind it. No one contests it.
Oklahoma City: Do not forget that McVeigh served in the first Gulf War. There is good reason to think he was recruited by jihadists in Iraq who were active at the time.
9/11: Islamic suicide extremists, forget the other theories. They were Taliban zealots hoping for virgins and palaces in Islamic heaven.
Spanish train bombs: More Jihad extremists, basically the same bunch as the 9/11.
London train bombs: Not the same 9/11 and Spain guys, but British Muslims from Pakistan.
Virginia Tech: This one is so sad. Psychiatry started Cho out. Then Islamic recruiters told Cho he would get infinite sex in Muslim heaven from the 172 virgins so he converted. Just like the 9/11 guys he was going to prostitutes but even they knew he wsa evil so they would not have sex with him. By trying to destroy Virginia Tech he thought he was attacking Bush’s aggression in Afghanistan.
London night club bombs: Good for the Brit cops, they have caught some of the guys and it is more of these Pakistan guys. Maybe it is time to have a serious think about what to do about Pakistan.
It is no accident or coincidence the bigots who oppose religious freedom are inspired by Islamic thought. Just look at some of the fine people on www.religiousfreedomwatch.org.
EVERY SINGLE PERSON on there is a zealot, bigot or extremist and you will find that most of them have extensive criminal records. Take a look at these criminal records and you will find the influence of Islam.
Charlotte Kates: this young woman is a card-carrying member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. They are kind of the poster child for Muslim terrorists.
Peter Alexander: this man makes hate films. He is also building some kind of an amusement park in the Arab Gulf. He is clearly doing the bidding of Islamist masters all the way around.
Patricia Greenway: this woman is Alexander’s business partner and lover. She likes to live the high life and Arab money helps out there. Word in Ybor City is that she has her eye on an Enzo.
Kristi Wachter: she puts out a daily hate newsletter. She has paid for the theft of materials from churches. She says she used to run a record company but how much money could it make? It seems to me she is getting her money from bin Laden and his friends.
David Touretzky: don’t be fooled. This man is not a mouse brain researcher, he is a bomb expert. Who is really paying for his research? Could it be the same bomb makers loose in Iraq?
Keith Henson: first, don’t forget that but for www.religiousfreedomwatch.org this man would not of gone to jail. He is not just a bomb expert but a proved bomb maker. And who wants to pay for bombs? Jihad extremists! Who paid for his toothpaste and cigarettes in jail? Was it a guy called Osama?
Tory Bezazian: She walked away from her husband of many years to engage in hate activities. Where does she get money? The answer is Islam. She is a directly funded agent of the Los Angeles Koranic Council.
Andreas Heldal-Lund: this man supported Middle East bomber Lars Gule, need I say more?
Arnie Lerma: Nazi and leading conspiracy theorist. This man is worse than an anarchist as some day he will probably kill himself just to make a stupid point.
Rob Clark: threatens to blow up a church and a weather station? Who knows why, but when you get to the bottom, you will find a copy of the Koran there!
As to the site, religiousfreedomwatch.org, it is paid for 100% by my company, American Coast Title. I am one of the owners. The other two owners, Frank Berriz and Linda Blood are 100% behind what I am doing as are our parent underwriter Stewart Title.
We also get pretty good support from our employees although it would be illegal of me to impose my political beliefs on them.
Does it surprise you that I am being attacked by Indonesians? Not a coincidence that Indonesia is an Islamic country.
The company is willing to pay a nice reward to the person who will stand up and help me stop them. Please look at my site for details.
Expect without doubt a lot of trouble in Glendale. That is where American Coast Title is located as well as a dense population of Armenians. The Armenians do not like Arab Muslims so the area is getting very tense as the clock ticks down for Islamic terrorism.
So I am calling for the elimination of Islam and to these Anonymous Partyvan Vendetta of February People. Many other religious choices are available. No other religion is associated with state sponsored terror as documented by the US State Department Report on Terrorism.
This is a strong statement but it is time to end these attacks with bombs full of nails and gas. No other group does this. It is all and always back to Islam, Muslims, the Koran and groups like the Taliban and various sleeper cells.
Stand up with me on this one. Stand tall with me against Muslims who commit mass murder hoping for 172 virgins in a palace. Stand shoulder to shoulder with me to stop the next bunch suicidal bigots from burning down your city.
I hope the day will come when all we have left is one Mosque left up somewhere as a museum to the hatred Islam made and the Koran is a book kept in a locked up room at the FBI. Now that will be a banner day for world peace and religious freedom!

I suppose the next thing we'll see is Richard Woolwine in a coatee and Spongebob Squarepants jockey shorts telling people to make more calls? Can't they build a mental hospital in Roanoke to deal with all of the VMI rejects?
Atlantic Credit and Finance should be called Atlantic Craziness and Finance.

The truth about violence in Scientology is coming out.
Beatings are common, as is a practice called “overboarding”-throwing people into pools of water or off the side of a ship.
Scientology attorney and spokeswoman Monique Yingling dismisses criticism of these practices, claiming they are part of Scientology’s ecclesiastical justice. Does David Miscavige, the high school dropout who heads Scientology, even know what the word “ecclesiastical” means?
The connection between “overboarding” and the deplorable practice of “waterboarding” is clear.
Those who continue to support the failed policies of the Bush Administration have much to answer for.
The Competitive Enterprise Institute(CEI) denies the existence of global warming. It has a staff of “climate experts” such as John Berlau, Myron Ebell, and Marlo Lewis.
Until oil companies such as ExxonMobil became dismayed with CEI’s lack of progress, they had no problem providing six figure retainers to these experts, despite their admitted lack of scientific training.
Andrew Langer left CEI to establish the Institute for Liberty. This is odd, as Langer has denounced free speech.
Langer has also joined forces with Monica Pignotti. Pignotti was a Scientologist. She left Scientology, and some years later, became a devotee and practitioner of Roger Callahan’s Thought Field Therapy and Voice Technology.
She has abandoned those, and, in addition to her work with Langer, collaborates with Jean Mercer, Larry Sarner, and Linda Rosa.
Jean Mercer holds a Ph.D. in psychology but has never held a license to practice. That means she has never seen a single patient!
Mercer blogs for Psychology Today. When people posted questions about Mercer’s background and affiliations on the blog, Mercer disabled the comment feature. This is the type of thing the Church of Scientology would do!
Larry Sarner has been described as an inventor. He invented a voting machine, but it is not clear that it worked. This resulted in a massive financial scandal and several lawsuits. Sarner is widely
recognized as a leading figure in various quackery and pseudoscience movements. He also practices propaganda using techniques very reminiscent of those used
by the Church of Scientology on their hate sites such as Religious Freedom Watch, operated by Joel Phillips of American Coast Title.
Sarner, and his wife, Linda Rosa, run a blog with the theme of child torture. It seems they are taking the horrors of Scientology’s “overboarding” and Guantanamo’s “waterboarding” to the next level.
Sarner and Rosa endorse the work of Charly D. Miller. Miller describes
herself as a retired paramedic. Miller is known to post copyrighted materials to her website, which she is then forced to remove by the copyright owners. Miller has, for some years, been planning to write a series of “Harry Potter” travel guides, but she has yet to publish
them.
Another character in this drama is Brooke Oberwetter. Oberwetter is the daughter of Bush-appointed Ambassador to Saudi Arabia James Oberwetter.
Oberwetter left CEI to join “DC SIgnal” which describes itself as a telecommunications consultancy. Is it possible that they are helping Mercer, Sarner, Rosa, Pignotti, and Miller censor criticism of the questionable activities? Is it possible that they have been retained by the Church of Scientology or Monique Yingling to do “damage control” in light of the recent revelations?
