Well, So Far, It Be Looking Dead

For those of you who are sympathetic, there is something you can get me.
This:
It is supposedly the PERFECT glass from which to drink Sam Adams Beer.
Blogger sent me some weird email response to my request for help. I guess the true test would be to see if I can set up another page called Beantown Bwana. If Blogger doesn't allow the use of the name, then I would surmise they still have all my shit someplace.
Bastids.

Beantown Bwana May Be Dead

This old thang, a site I started years ago, will hopefully be my temporary home. It seems my main site may be dead. Killed because of a spam alert, perhaps. Here's all I could get out of Google/Blogger on what happened:

Why is my blog disabled?

If your blog is disabled, it will be listed on your Dashboard, but you will not be able to click on it to access it. If this is the case, there will be a grace period during which you can request that it be reviewed and recovered. The disabling is a result of our automated classification system marking it as spam. Because this system is automated there will necessarily be some false positives, though we're continually working on improving our algorithms to avoid these. If your blog is not a spam blog, then it was one of the false positives, and we apologize.

That expresses some hope, but not much. If it doesn't return, there's your cautionary tale...BACK UP YER SHIT.

Here comes the sea, do-do-do-dooooo....

If you had any doubts about governments taking seriously the threat of global warming and rising sea levels, look no further that The Netherlands. See this link: Blub-Blub-Blub.

If over 66% of their population lives below sea level, and on the coast; what percentage North America's population is --- if not equally endangered --- at least have homes that WILL be compromised by rising sea levels?

Does the us.gov have any of that information available? Is it being made accessible to the people who live in those affected areas? Will we have to wait the the 2 1/2 years more until STUPID is out of the White House before anything proactive is done?

Fortunately, even Republican Governors don't plan to get caught with their pants down, while Georgie-Porgie spends the rest of his whatever clearing brush in Crawford. I haven't read it yet, but Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger seems to plan some sort of stunt in DC soon that will indicate what action California will be taking to deal with this over the next few years. I'm not talking just about reducing green house emissions; I mean in particular what they will do assist those who get flooded out. If the Dutch can plan for barrier islands to hold the sea back for a time, don't be surprised if San Fran has a similar plan.

So, perhaps we should just HOPE that the Congress will take serious action towards planning for the inevitable AS WELL AS circumventing as much future damage as possible. I think if they are proactive, they will have a less difficult task in keeping the Green-Peacers and assorted other Anti Globalization/New Lefty squads from gelding American commerce.

Somebody's Funnin' Wid Me



Looks like someone is pushing hard to get you all sent to the hot seat! I suppose I shouldn't let you guys know this, but apparently "He-Who-Will-Not-Be-Named-Until-Traded-For-Another-Player-At-A-Later-Date" has been covertly sending you all email invites to this web site so that you will be cast into Darkness.

Well, be forewarned then. I'm sure you can all find your way down here by yourselves.

Satan's Little Helpers


Hi, Beelzebub here. Hope you all are having a hot summer! This global warming thing has all us in the Underworld excited. More exciting and comfortable vacation destinations for the minions of Hell! Oh, are you uncomfortale, mortals? Feck Off!

In this our opening Stanza of the NEW & IMPROVED HELL'S HANDBOOK & MISSAL OF THE BLACK MASS, you will find instructions on how to make the most of your (eternal) stay here, who's hot and who's not, and probably most interesting to you personally, who helped put you here in the first place!

There are many, many people responsible for feeding the maws of Hell, and I just couldn't function without 'em! Let me take just a moment to send a shout out to my BEOY-EEEE! Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, who has been invaluable recently in letting my minions and I know that the entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts will be shipped in as soon as they are "done"!

In the coming summer weeks, when things slow down Down Under 'cause you folks are accumulating Frequent-Flayer-Points up Topside, I'll be sending out helpful bits of information on Do's 'N' Dont's of Hades. You will ALL find this valuable in future, 'cause ... well ... YOU ARE ALL MINE!

BWOOHAAHAAHAAHAAAAAAaaaaa... ahem. Sorry, I'm a bit of a show off.
