ON PORTS, AND SAVAGES

Whoa! One of my blog heroes, Mike at Cold Fury, actually agrees with me on something. Namely, that the whole port Dubai port controversy is a load of crap. At, least, I think that is what Mike is concurring with.

I'm just amazed anyone would actually go public with agreeing with me.

There is just so much more to this story. You hear ignorant shit.

No one understands how a damned port operates. Any port operator, which merely handles the loading/unloading of vessels, and the outgate procedures before/after the fact, has U.S. Customs and the Coast Guard and the Food and Drug Administration, and the Immigration and Naturalization Service, or whatever they are called today, so far up their ass you can hear their sphincters whistling not only Dixie but Old Folks at Home through their pyloric valve.

Our ports are safe, insofar as one can detect neutrons, or decaying isotopes. Iffen a Bad Scene goes down, the fact that Dubai Ports World was the operator will mean nothing. I had an FDA inspector find a Mediterrean Fruit Fly on a ship in 1984. Medfly. The fucking entire Federal Government showed up. I had two Polish seamen, back in the Communist days, jump ship and proclaim Amnesty! The entire Federal government showed up. And the Media, of course.

Lookit: the UAE is a global entity. They know they are going to be under intense, nay, insane, scrutiny. I believe these smaller, private terminals will be the safest in the country.

Let us lay off the Islamic bigotry. After all, I thought I cornered that market. See, vis-a-vis, the Islamofuckist bombing of that Gold Mosque in Iraq.

Does this post make sense? Not really. Sue me.

Nobody else is in the position to know that you are, and while you are verfuckled in so many ways, I trust you implicitly on this because it's your gig to know.

Get amazed, amigo.

I agree with you too -- this is bullcrap, from a crapped-out bull.

Yep the whole port thing is pure bullshit.

I said I was wrong. I sat crying last night, gun in my mouth, wishing I could make amends. will say it again -- The port thing IS bullshit, just so much politics and I made a kneejerk reaction (I will not jerk my knee anymore, I will aim a little higher). What do you want from me?

Made perfect sense! Thanks for interjecting a bit of reality there.

Yeah, it may be bullshit, but screw 'em anyway. Yeah, there's good, reasonable logic and well-founded arguments why it's all so much islamophobia, but...the hell with it. We deal with other countries, but we get some quid pro quo with it: human rights issues or such. Why just give our shit away without telling the UAE to curb their dogs?

I'm just one or two Arabs away from confronting them in the Lil' Champ and asking them if they renounce the insane violence of their cult. Why shouldn't pressure be brought to bear on THEIR systems of government, influence, and economics. The UAE are uniquely in a position to use their powers for good. We should demand it of them. Or sell our ports to Dutch holding companies.

Who the heck would ever have thought that you and Jimmy Cahter would find yourselves on the same side of an issue?

Not I.
