Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

Guys, the page is about to start looking very&#160 funky.

Bear with me and things will hopefully start looking much better after I’m done.

Thatisall.

UPDATE:&#160 Okay, Denizens – time to check in, all of you.

Don’t ask me how, but I think&#160 I have it.&#160 I’m seeing the header/banner at the top where it should be; the posts in the body on the left side where they should be; the links, archive calendar, search box, email blurb, Digital Brownshirt, Madfishy’s COTBG pic and&#160 my beautiful baby boy – all where they should be (the “Archives” and that crap below it I don’t immediately care about)…

…and&#160 the footer info, all where it&#160 should be.&#160 And&#160 I see it not only in Firefox, but in IE, as well, which has me pretty damned geeked at the moment.

(It should.&#160 It took long enough. (sigh))

Your assignment:&#160 Look at this blog.&#160 Is what I just described what you see also?&#160 Denizens, I need you to check in and tell me how it looks to you, if you’d be so kind (and yes – put a cork in it when it comes to the color scheme.&#160 I like it, okay? (grin))

Thank you very kindly.&#160 Now&#160 thatisall.&#160

Remember our mothers used to tell us, “If you can’t say anything nice about someone, don’t say anything at all”?

(Yeah, I can hear you now – “What’s your excuse, Spats?”&#160 Bite me. (grin))

Well, an asshole excuse-for-a-teacher and his carpet-crawlers in Brooklyn apparently never got the message.

(Story via the NY Post, with hat tips to LC imamommy and Denizen David Hartung)

An American soldier overseas is fuming over letters he received from Brooklyn middle-school children accusing GIs of destroying mosques and killing civilians in Iraq.

Pfc. Rob Jacobs of New Jersey said he was initially ecstatic to get a package of letters from sixth-graders at JHS 51 in Park Slope last month at his base 10 miles from the North Korea border.

That changed when he opened the envelope and found missives strewn with politically charged rhetoric, vicious accusations and demoralizing predictions that only a handful of soldiers would leave the Iraq war alive.

What the Hell&#153 middle school was&#160 this, anyway?&#160 Michael Moore Middle?

And where in Great Honkin’ Cthulu’s&#153 name did these snot-noses get the impression that we’re losing this war?&#160 “Only a handful of soldiers would leave the Iraq war alive”???&#160 When did these rugrats become Nostradamuses, anyway?

“It’s hard enough for soldiers to deal with being away from their families, they don’t need to be getting letters like this,” Jacobs, 20, said in a phone interview from his base at Camp Casey.

“If they don’t have anything nice to say, they might as well not say anything at all.”

You’d think so, Private, but there are a lot of dumbasses who never seemed to learn that lesson – and now that&#160 failure is being passed onto our kids.

One Muslim boy wrote: “Even thoe [sic] you are risking your life for our country, have you seen how many civilians you or some other soldier killed?”

Oh, here we go with that “100,000 Iraqi civilians killed” meme.

Okay, little shit – let’s have the names.&#160 Each and every single fuckin’&#160 first & last name of each and every single fuckin’&#160 one of those so-called “100,000 killed Iraqi citizens”.

Go on, punk-ass, start tickin’ ’em off.&#160 I’ll wait. (taps foot on floor)

His letter, which was stamped with a smiley face, went on: “I know your [sic] trying to save our country and kill the terrorists but you are also destroying holy places like Mosques.”

Yeah, dumb-ass.&#160 By the sheerest&#160 of coincidences, that just happens&#160 to be where the ragheaded Islamofucks are.&#160&#160 Funny how that works, ain’t it?

Most of the 21 letters Jacobs provided to The Post mentioned some support for the armed forces, if not the Iraq war, and thanked him for his service. But nine of the students made clear their distaste for the president or the war.

I want those nine kids lined up against a wall.&#160 Then their parents.&#160 Then anyone else&#160 who’s had a hand in these snot-noses’ upbringing.

Then flog ’em all.&#160 Rattan canes.&#160 Leave marks – the more, the better.

The letters were written as a social-studies assignment.

The JHS 51 teacher, Alex Kunhardt,

As I write this, I just heard from Hannity that this fuckstick previewed the messages before he sent ’em on.

Line him up, too.&#160 Take a pair of brass knucks to him.

These shitheels need to be taught a lesson.&#160 It’s the soldier, not the barking moonbat excuse-for-a-teacher, which protects them to the point that they can learn without having to look over their shoulders.&#160 Some&#160 schoolkids don’t get to do that – just ask Ariel Sharon.

Stupid fuckwits…
