Friendly neighborhood runnybabbit assassins

three stooges

friendly neighborhood assassin

Last post I’ll milk out of Uncle B’s day at the village fête. He was most taken with these dudes from the itinerate ferret rescue.

Please not to be laughing, these are serious working weasels. They earn their keep a-rabbitin’. They’re going to come out to Badger House and give Uncle B a hand with his little bunny problem (yes, sadly, Uncle B has little bunnies. But on a happier note, he also has great tits).

The theory is, you put nets across the rabbit holes and send a ferret down one of them, then when bunnies pop out you sack ’em up and…do something unspeakable.

In practice, an inexperienced ferret will occasionally eat a bunny on the spot, curl up in a stinky ball underground and sleep it off. But, in this case, the purpose of the bunnies is to feed the ferrets, so no harm.

They sell bunny in supermarkets there, by the way. And pheasant and other game. There’s a sign on the case warning about the possibility of lead shot in their little bodies. This somewhat harshes my belief that meat is grown in vast tanks in clean modern laboratories.

I’ll end up a vegetarian some day. You watch.

That second photo above really changes my perception of working weasels. Those teeth and claws do not look to be “decorative”. They mean business.

The solo weasel looks positively militant.

At any rate, the idea of “working weasels” led me to mental meandering. What would one call such work? Well from yesterday’s Old Bailey post the word Barretry popped into mind which immediately led to “Ferretry” A quick search… Of course the meaning is completely different but oh well.

So here you go Weasel, “Planned Ferrethood”

Had ferrets as a bit younger fellow, and yup, they mean business when riled or hungry. Smedledorf von Catkilluh was hell on paws. Bunnies, including jackrabbits, cats and even a german shepard felt the sting of his nasty disposition.

They sure as hell are the cutest little stikies, though….

Yup…fell hook line and sinker for the “great tits”.

Hey Weezie,

Here’s a beaut from the Old Bailey files circa July 1677:

“It was was proved that the Prisoner was a person of a lewd conversation, and lodging in a Room into which there were several holes to look in at from the next house, they had often seen her in the very acts of uncleanness with Villains that followed her; but one day one of the Witnesses (a young woman) happening to cast her eye in, saw her use such actions with a Dog as are not fit here to be recited: At which being amazed, she called up another woman, and after that a man, who all saw her several times practising this beastliness, and fully evidenced the same in Court, where the Dog was likewise brought, add being set on the Bar before the Prisoner, owned her by wagging his tail, and making motions as it were to kiss her, which ’twas sworn she did do when she made that horrid use of him. For her self she had nothing to say, but denying the fact, alleadging it was mallice in the Witnesses, which her Husband, who appeared in her behalf likewise suggested, but could not make out any quarrel or occasion of any such malice in the least; whereupon after full consideration of all circumstances she was brought in guilty.”

Dog days of summer indeed. Punishment? Death.

Also, if you’re across the pond, you might want to drop by the Old Bailey whence next in London. You can go in and watch trials from the public gallery, except in cases of treason or espionage.

Went once and saw a murder trial. Ripping fun. The bailiffs at the entrance are informative sources of what’s worth seeing.

I’ve always wanted to sit in on a murder trial at the Old Bailey, but the website says no cellphones are allowed in and there’s no place to store them at the courthouse. I’m too chicken to take a train into London by myself without a phone!

My dog is the Death of Rabbits. Seriously, I found a shrine to him in the woods the other day. If he spots one, its only hope to survive is to have a place to go to ground within twenty feet.

Squirrels have even less hope, because of their tendency to lock up under stress. They start to run, stop, turn around, start again, stop, turn around, turn again, star- CRUNCH!

I’m a non-meateatist and I still can’t abide hippies, am still conservative, would still testify as to the greatness of the unmatched taste of lovingly prepared meat &c.

‘Oh, meat is murder!’
‘No, this is murder…’

So, whilst I’d generally agree with the generalisation that all vegetarians are wankers, there are exceptions to the rule.

Yeah, but ya know, Gibby – all us meatists are pretty much wankers too. I was just called one not long ago (with good reason, of course, and not for the first time), so one could assert that everyone is a wanker. Our species should be called Homowankus.

I guess what I’m saying is there is no part of anyone’s life or lifestyle that is really important to the universe. I don’t think the universe is set up to give a frolicking fuck.

Other than that, I work with a bunch of hoosiers…not to be confused with the Indiana kind. So I tell my husband, ‘Husband, I think it is great that hoosiers can own their own business. But these ones tend to hire folks just like them….hey, wait a minute…’ Srsly, I am one of the few there with a steady sane family life, no vices, exposure to STDs, or brain altering hallucinogens.

that the Demiurge (the Adversary) is really in charge of the world.

Well, Soros is a gazillionaire. Gazillionaires can buy anything or most anyone. When a regular person comes up against him or his ilk…well, it’s a David vs. Goliath sort of task. It’s hard to do the right thing and harder yet to stand up to his kind. And when you are on the other side and have that much money and access, same thing, it’s hard to do the right thing along with not thinking you are God’s gift. The crux of the human dilemma.
I think they both (Reid) have something really wrong in their crack/maryjane tainted brains.

and no, i can grasp and appreciate weez’s non-censorship just fine. that’s why i said it was the best thing about this blog. remember?

and your time must not be of any value at 4:45 in the morning cause you just spent five paragraphs showing me the true meaning of inane.

and i was simply pluralizing your own term (which i quite liked) – homowankus. i’m not a scholar of latin, but if wankus was actually a latin word, i do believe the plural would be wanki.

What is always so off-putting about hardcore vegetarians is not the tendency towards leftism – that’s likely a side effect of poor nutrition.

It’s the smug, sanctimonious, sense of superiority radiating from them.

And what’s your problem with the Hitler reference, seth? He was a vegetarian, right? If you wish to bask in reflected glory from noble herbivores, and assume their diet was responsible for their qualities, then you have to take the whole package.

And your “joke” about eating MM’s brain, complete with childish wish-fulfillment detail, apparently intended to add humiliation to cannibalistic murder – you really think it’s in the same category as a throwaway comment like “why couldn’t it have been…?”

Lordling Reid is a sniveling little cretin whose despicable actions most likely have contributed to the deaths of our soldiers in the sandbox. Not to mention putting our national security at risk with his lust for power. Not to mention his everyday leftarded attempts to turn this country into a shithole full of dependent zombies like yourself. He has done much wrong with his position of power…dirty land deals, trying to ruin others. He has forgotten that he works for us, not the other way around. He is not a good man.

Michelle Malkin is a private citizen who tries to keep others informed of the corrupt crap going on around the country. She doesn’t have a position of power to try and buy/sell/ruin others. And because she points out that your messiah is just as corrupt and empty as the next politician you want to eat her brains. Nice.

“Literary aspirations, Seth? Gonna write the great American Liberal Novel?”

Think Hemingway had that covered. Hate him too? I thought he was perty smart before he blew his face off:

War is no longer made by simply analyzed economic forces if it ever was. War is made or planned now by individual men, demagogues and dictators who play on the patriotism of their people to mislead them into a belief in the great fallacy of war when all their vaunted reforms have failed to satisfy the people they misrule. And we in America should see that no man is ever given, no matter how gradually or how noble and excellent the man, the power to put this country into a war which is now being prepared and brought closer each day with all the pre-meditation of a long planned murder. For when you give power to an executive you do not know who will be filling that position when the time of crisis comes.

~ Ernest Hemingway, “Notes on the Next War,” 1935

PnB, Bush cherrypicked intelligence to purposefully mislead our country into war. The republican agenda of neo-imperialism is eloquently summed up by PNAC’s open letter, with such noted signators as Cheney and William “the bloody” Krystal. That’s the reason soldiers are dead. And the reason hundreds and thousands of innocent Iraqi’s are dead. And millions are displaced. And why terrorist recruitment is higher. It’s an immoral war based on lies. I fault Reid as well, but only because he hasn’t done nearly enough to bring those brave troops home.

And while I can make macabre, perhaps distasteful jokes, they are just that. The only thing I really want Malkin to suffer from is irrelevance. I can say I’d like to dip my falafel in O’Reilly’s hummus-filled eye socket. But really I just want him to cut the self-rightious crap and admit he’s a charlatan (besides he wants to do much more lewd things with that falafel!) But you really wish someone dead, simply because of their political beliefs. That’s pathological. Call me a zombie all you want. Seems like you’re the one with no heart.

Iraq, shooting at our planes as they passed over, genocide. Congress, yes most dems too, gave 23 reasons and then permission for Bush to take the fucker out (seek and you shall find). Bush could not go to war without congress’ permission or funding. So it isn’t exactly Bush’s war. And after 9/11 he would have been foolish not to be pro-active, unlike the repeated attacks Clinton ignored that brought on 9/11.

The republican agenda of neo-imperialism is eloquently summed up by PNAC’s open letter, with such noted signators as Cheney and William “the bloody” Krystal.

WTF are you talking about? Neo-imperialism? You need to start reading some Iraqi blogs. Iraqis have the utmost respect for our soldiers. Read Michael Yon’s dispatches. Look up the Kurdish website. They are pro-west, wanting investors, and thankful. Above all, quit paying attention to the echo chamber of the lefty Soros-owned media/democrats.

That’s the reason soldiers are dead. And the reason hundreds and thousands of innocent Iraqi’s are dead. And millions are displaced. And why terrorist recruitment is higher. It’s an immoral war based on lies.

It is a war where because our soldiers have done their damnedest to prevent civilian casualties, it brought on their own. Al qaeda has no respect for life – they have killed thousands….not hundreds of thousands, twit. The Iraqis know who is causing shit and know it isn’t us.
I guess you didn’t have a problem with a genocidal maniac as Saddam and his sons, did you? Bush brought freedom to millions.

I fault Reid as well, but only because he hasn’t done nearly enough to bring those brave troops home.

As well you should as he still funds bringing democracy to an unstable jihadi crazy region. Him and Pelosi can stop the funds any time they want. Go find the video where a democrat admits they lied about Iraq (bringing the troops home) in order to get elected in 2006. They know how gullible the sheep (you) are.

Oh…and Seth, jihad against the west has been going on for 1400 years. Thomas Jefferson didn’t own a koran because he thought it was inspirational.
You want to talk imperialism? When will the muslims return the ME to the Christians? When will they quit killing Christians and when will they stop buying/selling slaves (yes Seth, they were/are key in ‘the’ slave trade, white and black)?

Here is primer for you, Seth, to do with the modern day jihad. They have all the time in the world and people like you can not connect the dots to your peril.

Musli – did Gibby ever say how long he’s been “on the carrot” so-to-speak?

A few years. Three or four. To be honest, I can’t really remember why I decided to stop eating meat. I think it was something to do with the fact that cholesterol is only occurs in animals or something. But I’ve really been considering starting to eat meat again recently. Summer is the hardest time, what with all the barbeques.

Which is why Gibby is such a stud.

Musli, you’re a gentleman and a scholar.

Gibby makes his choice, without claiming superiority. I hope he takes my comment in that vein.

Absolutely.

Because exercises in futility have been the mantra of the U.S. Government the last eight years, I’ll continue the trend as I’ve got a few issues with PnB’s voluminous post:

“All of the intelligence” is a hell of a statement, especially when directly contradicted by the Senate Intelligence Committee (from their recently released report on prewar intelligence):

— Statements and implications by the President and Secretary of State suggesting that Iraq and al-Qa’ida had a partnership, or that Iraq had provided al-Qa’ida with weapons training, were not substantiated by the intelligence.
— Statements by the President and the Vice President indicating that Saddam Hussein was prepared to give weapons of mass destruction to terrorist groups for attacks against the United States were contradicted by available intelligence information.

— Statements by President Bush and Vice President Cheney regarding the postwar situation in Iraq, in terms of the political, security, and economic, did not reflect the concerns and uncertainties expressed in the intelligence products.

— Statements by the President and Vice President prior to the October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate regarding Iraq’s chemical weapons production capability and activities did not reflect the intelligence community’s uncertainties as to whether such production was ongoing.

— The Secretary of Defense’s statement that the Iraqi government operated underground WMD facilities that were not vulnerable to conventional airstrikes because they were underground and deeply buried was not substantiated by available intelligence information.

— The Intelligence Community did not confirm that Muhammad Atta met an Iraqi intelligence officer in Prague in 2001 as the Vice President repeatedly claimed.

Bush and co. had an agenda, intelligence be damned. They thought they could sprinkle freedom dust (greeted as liberators, anyone?) and transform the middle east into a supple democracy. Funny thing is, there was a time when they knew better:

“If we’d gone to Baghdad we would have been all alone. There wouldn’t have been anybody else with us. There would have been a U.S. occupation of Iraq. None of the Arab forces that were willing to fight with us in Kuwait were willing to invade Iraq.

Once you got to Iraq and took it over, took down Saddam Hussein’s government, then what are you going to put in its place? That’s a very volatile part of the world, and if you take down the central government of Iraq, you could very easily end up seeing pieces of Iraq fly off: part of it, the Syrians would like to have to the west, part of it — eastern Iraq — the Iranians would like to claim, they fought over it for eight years. In the north you’ve got the Kurds, and if the Kurds spin loose and join with the Kurds in Turkey, then you threaten the territorial integrity of Turkey.

It’s a quagmire if you go that far and try to take over Iraq.

The other thing was casualties. Everyone was impressed with the fact we were able to do our job with as few casualties as we had. But for the 146 Americans killed in action, and for their families — it wasn’t a cheap war. And the question for the president, in terms of whether or not we went on to Baghdad, took additional casualties in an effort to get Saddam Hussein, was how many additional dead Americans is Saddam worth?

Our judgment was, not very many, and I think we got it right.”

-Dick Cheney, 1993.

He was right then and he’s right now. Hussein was a bad guy, no one disputes that. But the two main reasons for the war authorization were links to Al Qaeda and WMD – both false assertions. The intelligence was far too contradictory to merit a pre-emptive war. Plenty of people were wise enough to see this, including the next POTUS Barack Obama.

Rather than your anecdotal evidence from a few Iraqi blogs, why don’t you check out credible polls conducted by the likes of ABC, the BBC and the Red Cross (or are they all in Soros’ pocket too?) on Iraqi opinion of the US occupation:

http://www.globalpolicy.org/security/issues/iraq/pollindex.htm

I agree Al Qaeda has no respect for life. So why did we invade Iraq when there was no Al Qaeda presence whatsoever? Why did we allow ourselves to get distracted from the real culprits embedded between Afghanistan and Pakistan?

In Iraq the main source of violence is sectarian, non Al Qaeda related. Civil strife is at an all time high and, because of Bush’s anemic diplomacy, there have been devastastingly meager gains in Iraq’s progress towards self-governance (despite the relative military success of the surge).

Most reports (including the UN’s) put the Iraqi civilian death toll at well over 100,000.

If you want to get on your high horse and decry justice against genocide, why aren’t you screaming for military action in Darfur, pray tell?

By neo-imperalism I mean the use of military force for pre-emptive war. Defense spending increased understandably during the cold war, but sky-rocketed under Reagan (most the war planes used today were purchased during the Reagan era). PNAC’s Statement of Principles lays the groundwork:

“America has a vital role in maintaining peace and security in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. If we shirk our responsibilities, we invite challenges to our fundamental interests. The history of the 20th century should have taught us that it is important to shape circumstances before crises emerge, and to meet threats before they become dire. The history of this century should have taught us to embrace the cause of American leadership. Therefore we must lead America into an unending violent occupation in Iraq, tipping the country to all-out civil war.”

Oops sorry, the last bit was my own paraphrasing. Cheney of 1993 (he signed this letter in 1997) called it a quagmire so I think it’s close enough.

I think you’re wording sums up the divide between conservatives and progressives. You see the Iraq war as “pro-active”. Progressive – strike that – 70 percent of the American people see it as a distraction and a mistake.

I don’t care to comment at length on your last bit about Jefferson and our 1400 war on Islam (or their 1400 on the west). Plainly speaking, it’s the purest form of xenophobic garbage.

G’day Madam. I said Good Day!

Well, you’re about half right.

Damn. My cable (and ‘Net and phone) has been out for over 24 hours and I missed another chance to yawn at Seths mindless prattle.

But that’s OK – I caught up on my sleep – which is more fun and productive anyway.

A Vegetarian weasel? Not so absurd as you might think. My ferret refused to eat meat. Nope, no way, would not.

By the way, i’ve been a long-time lurker. Found you with a mildly mental infatuation of stoats and that google image search. If you ever put some of your weasel illustrations on a shirt, i’d probably wear it everywhere.
