If you can't beat them...

Find someone else to beat them. The U.S. military has been trying to crush the Iraq insurgency for going on 3 years now and had, at best, mixed success. However, the N.Y. Times reports today that many of the local Sunni insurgents are now fighting the Al Qaeda in Iraq's foreign fighters. According to the times these reports of infighting within the insurgency have not been confirmed by independent sources. However, there appears to be substantial anecdotal evidence that in many areas of the Sunni Triangle, local Iraqi insurgents are attempting to push out foreign fighters. If this is true, then this is the best news we've had from Iraq since the insurgency began after Dumb Fuck's declaration of "Mission Accomplished".

Samarra, north of Baghdad, had been infiltrated by Al Qaeda's fighters. In desperation, a local sheik, Hekmat Mumtaz al-Baz, traveled to Baghdad in September to meet with Iraq's defense minister and ask for help, said one of the sheik's aides, Waleed al-Samarrai. A few weeks after the visit, the sheik was shot dead by Qaeda gunmen in his yard.

The account was confirmed by a member of the tribe, and a senior Iraqi intelligence official in Baghdad. Mr. Samarrai spoke in an interview in Al Wasat Hospital in Baghdad, where his brother, Salim, the sheik's bodyguard, who was wounded in a fight with Al Qaeda, was convalescing.

The tribe was furious, and its members tracked down the three men who carried out the killing. Elders from the tribe held a trial in a local farmhouse and interrogated the men for days. They said they worked for a fighter from Saudi Arabia who bankrolled the attacks, Mr. Samarrai said.

The Samarrai brothers said Al Qaeda's appeal was based less on religion than on money. The Iraqis who killed the sheik were believed to have received $500 to $1,000 for the job, and the same amount for dozens of other similar killings, Waleed al-Samarrai said. He said local insurgents had changed allegiances, lured away by Al Qaeda's money.

Members of the tribe swept the town and arrested 17 people they suspected were associated with the sheik's killing. In one house raid, the tribe found men from Sudan, Morocco, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia, a member of the tribe said.

Al Qaeda's fighters struck back during the tribe's offensive. A foreign Arab believed to be a Saudi wearing in a suicide belt blew himself up at the sheik's funeral, killing one guest and wounding two, said Salim al-Samarrai, who said he witnessed the attack.

As a lesson to all those associated with the sheik's death, the tribe staged a public killing. While the sheik's father watched, men with machine guns shot the three men who carried out the assassination, the Samarrai brothers said.

Dirty Colin avalanche

My blog has been getting many google searches looking for "dirty colin" as illustrated below.



Apparently, Colin Farrel now has a sex tape out. Here's the scoop from What Would Tyler Durden Do :

"DirtyColin.com arrived online today, offering to sell the Colin Farrel sex tape to anyone with 14.95. The tape, made almost two years ago with Playmate Nicole Narian, is rumored to be extremely explicit, and based on the preview pictures on the site, that definitely seems to be the case. Of course, I didn't get to be the big success I am today by paying retail for my porn, but I promise I'll post the tape as soon as I find it, or crack the sites source code. 15 dollars? What do I look like!"

However, apparently the Dirty Colin website is now shut down. Sorry everybody, but you'll have to wait for the bootlegs to appear on Napster or the current flavor of the month Peer to Peer program. So how did these people get to my blog? Well, if you google "dirty colin" and hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button on google, you go to a post I did previously on Colin Powell's appearance on the Daily Show.

Allison Dubois responds

Allison Dubois, the psychic whom the series "The Medium" is based off, has responded to my previous post about her appearance on Rita Cosby's Show. If you want the facts on Allison Dubois, Two Percent Company did a fantastic series of posts on her. Here is the response from Allison Dubois (or someone claiming to be her)...

Mr. Rob the dirty Liberal- Get your fucking facts straight ASSHOLE!!! It's shitheads like you that give the world a bad odor. Here is the truth about Allison Dubois you pathetic imbecile!!!

I would like to add a note regarding my appearances on local and national television programs. I have had the wonderful opportunity to be interviewed by some great people in the news industry. Once these clips are taped, they are often available for other producers to use. Although I am proud of what I say, I do not want anyone to be misled by my appearances. In most cases I have not even been informed that these shows are going to air. If I happen to be on a show that includes another medium or a researcher, I do not want it to imply that I endorse these people. In most cases I have never met these people and I do not have an opinion one way or another. I was warned that when you become a public figure that people will come out of the woodwork to profit from you. Well I guess I'm no exception.

One person who has been included on shows with me that I do not endorse is Dr. Gary Schwartz. I was disappointed to find out that the four years that I spent in the lab for "science" are, in my view, being misused by Dr. Schwartz -- even after I expressed my disapproval. Some critics posting to Amazon.com suggest that my disappointment stems from the fact that I am not sharing in the profits of Dr. Schwartz’ book. I never asked for a cut of any project that Dr. Schwartz sold because money wasn't the issue.There's no money to be had anyway, ha ha! just kidding. The issue has always been trust. That trust has been broken. Gary says that I asked him to write a book about me which is a figment of his imagination. I actually asked him to NOT write a book about me which his publisher Hampton Roads is well aware of since they were served by my attorney before it released.I was not asking for any money but rather that he correct the falsehoods in his book. He still continues to say that I endorse his book even though I've made it clear that I don't. He points to an e-mail from a year ago that he cut and pasted and only shows part of the e-mail trying to make the argument that I said I'd endorse his book. This was in response to a coversation where I told him that I would not write a foreword for a book about me because that would be ridiculous. Further more I was not comfortable with him writing a book about me at all. So my e-mail was to say that if he wrote a book about "science" and included all the mediums studied in a scientific manner that I'd write a blurb for his book. Weeks after that e-mail I resigned from the board at the lab, found out his book was being sold on my name and saw him fully in a different light. So there you go, an endorsement that was never written is his argument, go figure.

Participating in lab studies with Dr. Schwartz was never to be a for-profit venture. I always understood that we were participating in scientific studie

This posted was signed with the name Disgustedw/dipshitdems. Doesn't Allison realize that Republicans would burn her as a heretic and/or witch? Guess Not. Go here if you want to here Allison Dubois' site. Allison, if you are out there, then feel free to finish your response, and I'll post it up.

For the record, I believe that all psychics do not have any powers. I would say that all of them fall into one of three categories: con artists, entertainers, or mentally ill. In any case, the only powers that these so called psychics and mediums seem to have is separating ignorant people from their money.

Update: It appears that someone just copied the editorial page of Allison Dubois website. Too bad, but I'm emailing the poster as we speak to see who they are. Perhaps it is Allison Dubois, but probably just some poor soul who actually believes in psychics.

What an idiot

Now try to imagine a 12 year old on the back of this motorcycle. And then imagine it crashing into a car in a low speed crash.

Picture Blogging

It's been a while since I put up a new post. So, I thought I'd do a little picture blogging. Enjoy.


The Rose Bowl on the day of the National Championship was absolutely crazy.

My friend Nick and I celebrating the Longhorns winning the national championship. Krista was the only other person in the entire bar/restaurant that was also rooting for Texas. And she was pretty cute too.
That is a very funny man. Too bad he was rooting for the wrong team.

Group picture. Texas fans getting drunk and rowdy in Hollywood.Texas fans took over a bar on Hollywood Blvd. My friends and I convinced these Texas girls to get up on the bar and dance. Hooray Texas girls!
This is me rewarding these girls for all their hard work with some hard cash.
Picture of my fellow Texas fans getting fucking wasted in Hollywood. $10 for 101 ounces of beer. You'd get wasted too!
One last Hook'em Horns for the road. Texas Longhorns. 2006 National Champions!
