Only In Idaho... Bull Testicles In The News
Eagle, Idaho, is the rich people's town just north of where I live; they've had quite a problem with flooding this year, as well as an election that wasn't run very well. So what is the Mayor of Eagle concerned about? Apparently the biggest problem in Eagle is the advertising for a fire department fund-raiser:
"The Rocky Mountain Oyster Feed is still on for this weekend despite controversy surrounding surrounding an ad for the event that featured a foul-mouthed, poetry-slamming animated bull lamenting the loss of his testicles.
"Eagle Mayor Nancy Merrill threatened to cancel the feed, which is part of this weekend’s Eagle Fun Days. The feed is traditionally a big fundraiser for the Eagle volunteer fire department.
"On Tuesday, Merrill heard about the ad and that it was scheduled to run on local television and radio stations. She says she called the fire department and asked them to pull the ads.
"The ads were pulled from television, but ran on the radio.
"In the ads, the talking bull refers to “my testicles, my balls, my junk.” Rocky Mountain oysters are another name for bull testicles.
“This isn’t something we condone,” said Merrill this morning. “It’s vulgar, raunchy, offensive, all of the above.”
"The Eagle City Council had considered having a special session today to discuss canceling the fundraiser."
Maybe it's because I grew up on a farm, but I love the concept of steers mourning their lost testicles...
Update 2350 09 June: An update on the great Idaho "nut feed" controversy:
"The TV and radio ads bleeped out sections where the talking bull used profanity. But hearing the talking bull discuss his missing testicles was more than some wanted to hear.
"I heard from a couple people who were pretty offended by the ads," said Teri Bath, president of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, which organizes Eagle Fun Days. "I think they are crude and done in very poor taste."
"Bath said there is a time and a place for humor that she feels is off-color.
"If it were guys sitting around a campfire doing the things that guys do when they're sitting around the camp fire ... that ad would be appropriate," Bath said."

It's a fundraiser! No holds barred. Every nonprofit in the world is competing for limited funds and they should fight for it any way they want, with some exceptions. The cleverer, the better.
That's just good clean fun, lady!

IT IS TIME TO ELIMINATE ISLAM

Just watching the news from London is a reminder that we’re living in an age of terrorism. And, sad to say, almost all terrorism has something to do with Islam and Muslims, you just won’t find much of it that is not in some way connected.
Just look at a few:
First World Trade Center Attack: a blind Egyptian guy was behind it. No one contests it.
Oklahoma City: don’t forget that McVeigh served in the first Gulf War. There is good reason to think he was recruited by jihadists in Iraq who were active at the time.
9/11: Islamic suicide extremists, forget the other theories. They were Taliban zealots hoping for 172 virgins and palaces in Islamic heaven.
Spanish train bombs: more Jihad extremists, basically the same bunch as the 9/11.
London train bombs: not the same 9/11 and Spain guys, but more British Muslims from Pakistan.
Virginia Tech: This one is so sad. Psychiatry started Cho out. Then Islamic recruiters told Cho he would get infinite sex in Muslim heaven from the 172 virgins so he converted. By trying to destroy Virginia Tech he thought he was attacking Bush’s aggression in Afghanistan.
London night club bombs: Good for the Brit cops, they have caught some of the guys and it is more of these Pakistan guys and doctors at that, some of them were even psychiatrists. Maybe it is time to have a serious think about what to do about Pakistan. Mixing up Islam, Muslims, psychiatry and Pakistan is a recipe for mass murder and terrorism. Trust me on this one.
It is no accident or coincidence the bigots who oppose religious freedom are inspired by Islamic thought.
Just look at some of the fine people on www.religiousfreedomwatch.org. EVERY SINGLE PERSON on there is a zealot, bigot or extremist and you will find that most of them have extensive criminal records. Take a look at these criminal records and you will find the influence of Islam.
Charlotte Kates: this young woman is a card-carrying member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. They are kind of the poster child for Muslim terrorists and an inspiration to Islamic murderers all over the world. What is her problem?
Peter Alexander: this man makes hate films. He is also building some kind of an amusement park in the Arab Gulf. Is is clearly doing the bidding of Islamist extremist jihad promoting masters all the way around.
Patricia Greenway: this woman is Alexander’s business partner and lover. She likes to live the high life and Arab money helps out there. Word in Ybor City is that she has her eye on an Enzo.
Kristi Wachter: she puts out a daily hate newsletter. She has paid for the theft of materials from churches. She says she used to run a record company but how much money could it make? It seems to me she is getting her money from bin Laden and his friends.
David Touretzky: don’t be fooled. This man is not a mouse brain researcher, he is a bomb expert. Who is really paying for his research? Could it be the same bomb makers loose in Iraq?
Keith Henson: first, don’t forget that but for www.religiousfreedomwatch.org this man would still be on the loose. He’s not just a bomb expert but a proved bomb maker. And who wants to pay for bombs? Jihad extremists! Who is paying for him to be able to buy toothpaste in jail? Could it be a guy called Osama?
Tory Bezazian: she walked away from her husband of many years to engage in hate activities. Where does she get money? The answer is Islam. She is a directly funded agent of the Los Angeles Koranic Council.
Andreas Heldal-Lund: the man is proud to support Lars Gule who was behind bombings in the Middle East. That sort of speaks for itself now doesn’t it?
As to the site, www.religiousfreedomwatch.org, it is paid for 100% by my company, American Coast Title. I am one of the owners. The other two owners, Frank Berriz and Linda Blood are 100% behind what I am doing as is our parent underwriter Stewart Title. We also get pretty good support from our employees although it would be illegal of me to impose my political beliefs on them.
Does it surprise you that I am being attacked by Indonesians? Not a coincidence that Indonesia is an Islamic country. The company is willing to pay a nice reward to the person who will stand up and help me stop them. Please look at my site for details.
Props to George Ramirez. These guys came around to poke fun at the company. He stood up like a real man and sent them on their way. Can’t say for a fact that they were Islamic jihadists but the truth always comes out!
Expect without doubt a lot of trouble in Glendale. That’s where American Coast Title is located as well as a dense population of Armenians. The Armenians don’t like Arab Muslims so the area is getting very tense as the clock ticks down for Islamic terrorism.
So I am calling for the total elimination of Islam. Many other religious choices are available to those currently in Islam. Islam must go and no Muslim can be allowed to remain anywhere in the world.
All Mosques must either be destroyed or made into something else. The other day we did a title for one that was converted into a shopping center, now that’s a good use for one!
All copies of the Koran must be rounded up and burned or otherwise destroyed. If libraries insist on keeping them for historical reasons they have to be under lock and key and they have to post a guard to make sure no one copies them.
Conversion to another validated religion or acceptance of atheism are the only options I see. No other religion is associated with state sponsored terror as documented by the US State Department Report on Terrorism.
One thing that has to happen after is that women have to wear normal clothes. No more of these Islamic things. I mean local clothes are fine and kind of cute but no symbol of Islam can remain as it will just get cause restimulation of what started out as the worship of a giant magnetic stone by savage nomads. So get rid of all those crescent moons and so on!
This is a strong statement but it is time to end these attacks with bombs full of nails and gas. No other group does this. It is all and always back to Islam, Muslims, the Koran and groups like the Taliban and various sleeper cells.
Stand up with me on this one. Stand tall with me against Muslims who kill in the name of jihad and Islam and the false words of the Koran hoping for 172 virgins in a palace. Stand shoulder to shoulder with me to stop the next bunch of suicidal bigots and zealots from burning down your city.

So, I don't actually suppose this may have success.
