Guys, you will remember last year when Cingular Wireless (piss be upon them) dropped the axe on what was a promising career for me.
Since the tail end of November, I’ve been working as a contractor for a no-it-will-not-be-named company (yes, Cianderella Tierney, the no-he-really-doesn’t-work-at-EDS chickenshit, still reads this blog and tries to hack into the comments on occasion, and I’ll not give him the chance to try and get me fired before I’m ready), doing the PC-techie thing.
That will end on April 5th.  On April 6th, I will begin yet another PC-techie-type position – this one being a temp-to-hire gig paying very nearly what I was making at Cingular to start, with a negotiable conversion rate (IOW, when I’m hired on three months hence, I get to negotiate my starting salary.  Schweet).
Thanks to all y’all (yes, the plural of “y’all” is “all y’all” (grin)) for your prayers during the last five months or so.  They’ve really been appreciated.
Well, I never thought I’d hear myself saying this, but I think it’s time:
Get the troops out of Afghanistan.  As in, yesterday.
And I say that because, if this is the way they’re going to thank us, an ostensibly Christian nation, for saving their ragheaded asses from the Taliban…then it’s long past time to get our troops out.
So we can nuke that shithole back to Hell™.
Despite an international outcry over the prospect of “liberated” Afghanistan executing a former Muslim for converting to Christianity, a judge dealing with the case today said his nation’s judiciary will ignore outside pressure and act “independently.”
Why do I get the feeling this Islamoprick’s been listening to a little too much Sandy Ditz O’Bint?
Yesterday, hopes were rising that 42-year-old Abdul Rahman would be spared, amid widespread reports Afghanistan’s government was attempting to find a face-saving way to free the man facing a death penalty.
Afghan prosecutors reportedly claimed Rahman – facing death for converting 16 years ago from Islam to Christianity – might be “mad,” and therefore not prosecutable.
Take a good, long look, Denizens.  “Mad”.
What you’re looking at is Christianity’s future in this country, and not nearly as far down the road as you might think.  The day is coming when this ragheaded colostomy bag’s views will be pretty much de rigueur  in this country.
Rahman is charged with rejecting Islam, a crime under Afghanistan’s Shariah-based laws.
“We think he could be mad. He is not a normal person. He doesn’t talk like a normal person,” prosecutor Sarinwal Zamari told the Associated Press.
No.  He actually sounds like an average American.  You know – the Christians  who saved your sorry Islamonazi asses?
“Doctors must examine him,” Moayuddin Baluch, a religious adviser to President Hamid Karzai, said according to the same report. “If he is mentally unfit, definitely Islam has no claim to punish him. He must be forgiven. The case must be dropped.”
The case needs to be dropped anyway,  you fucking Seventh Century rejects.
But today, Afghan Supreme Court judge Ansarullah Mawlavizada said, “Afghanistan is an Islamic country and its judiciary will act independently and neutrally,” according to a Reuters report. “No other policy will be accepted apart from Islamic orders and what our constitution says,” Mawlavizada added.
Suggest you rethink that policy, raghead.  Especially in light of the fact that the people who saved your sorry asses could  find something else to do…say, on the Mexican border.  Be a damned shame if some Ba’athist terrorists came knocking on the doors there and found no one home but you burqa’d bastards.
Then again, you might just welcome them in with a hearty “hail fellow, well met”…
Dammit, now I need to go to the range…
Denizens, your Amazing Item Of The Day™ is a two- or three-year-old video that was brought to my attention by the Sibling Unit™.
Dial-up Denizens, may take a bit, be patient.  This is worth it.
Enjoy.
