INCOMING… PoliZeros attacked!

INCOMING… PoliZeros attacked!


The cheerful warmongers over at Sgt. Strkyer launched this (actually quite funny) assault against PoliZeros for our termerity in flying the Distress Flag.


The poor guy doesn’t have perma-links yet, so search his site for the post by title, which is, “Sum Hep Hyare Wood Bee Het” (?), which might be the sound of cackling fiendishly about the prospects of war while stuffing one’s mouth with the raw meat of fresh-slaughtered furry woodland creatures and trying to say “The only sure path to peace is war” simultaneously.


From the good Sgt.



Bob Morris’ website is under siege. Running short of basic necessities, like food and water, he’s decided to run the flag up the pole upside down in a last-ditch effort to secure relief from the unrelenting hoarde outside his firewall.


Though the situation is dire at Ft. Morris, he has managed to send out one final message encouraging others to fly their flags upside down as well, though the exact nature of their distress is unclear. Some experts believe it to be a strange form of solidarity with Ft. Morris before its inevitable fall to the enemy, while others ponder whether these other websites are facing imminent danger themselves.


In his last, final, desperate plea to the outside world, Bob said, “Flying the distress flag on your blog to indicate a country in distress.” We can excuse Bob for the delirium brought about by ceaseless attack, for when one undergoes such harrowing circumstances, one tends to feel that he is a country unto himself. We also forgive him for stretching a straightforward code past credulity, as a desperate situation certainly brings hysteria and exagerration to the forefront of the mind.


While our politics aren’t the same, I can appreciate a blog with a sense of humor.

Will we have war? What’s…

Will we have war? What’s your prediction?


Polizeros has a new commenting software, using the excellent, free Haloscan system. Among the new features, you may post without leaving name or email address (unlike the old system).


So, to inaugurate the new system, maybe people could post what they think the probability of a war in Iraq is, and when it might occur.


I say 90% probability, within 4 months.


What say you? Click the comments link below to post your thoughts.

Black Panthers say name has been stolen


The original Panthers, including Bobby Seale and David Hilliard, have filed suit against the New Black Panthers for stealing their name and desmirching it with anti-Semitic  and racist comments.



But just because the Panthers are graying, said the 65-year-old Seale, who is recovering from heart bypass surgery, doesn’t mean they should watch helplessly as their reputation is threatened by “racist” usurpers calling themselves the “New Black Panther Party.”


 ”By using the Panther logo, which is our brand name,” complained former Panther chief-of-staff David Hilliard, “this other group is getting instant validation for its racial hatred and anti-Semitism.”

Subway shooter Bernhard Goetz preaches vegeterianism


In 1984 Goetz became notorious when, in a subway station, he “shot four teen-agers with his unlicensed .38 handgun. His only regret, he said later, was that he had run out of bullets.”


Today he he says “I think a quarter of the world’s problems would be solved if most people would become vegetarians,” he said as he sipped a soy milkshake.


As for his violent past, “I would much rather be known for playing a small part in the vegetarian movement,” he said.

Rove pulled electoral strings on his 2-way



Karl Rove, one of the Shrub’s homunculus puppteers, coordinated the 2002 electoral campaign by sending haiku-like micro-managing micro-messages to stumping politicos around the country via his BlackBerry email pager.


Through it all, Rove wore his war room on his belt’the postcard-size BlackBerry communicator that holds his unmatchable Rolodex as well as his e-mail system, through which he squirted orders and suggestions to campaign workers and lobbyists using only a few words. “It’s like haiku, “says a political operative who has been on the receiving end. During meetings’even ones with the President’Rove would constantly spin the BlackBerry’s dial and punch out text on its tiny keyboard. “Sometimes we’re in a meeting talking to each other and BlackBerrying each other at the same time, “says a colleague.
