The Dartz Prombron Monaco Red Diamond Edition armoured car sells for one million euros. It has gold plated bulletproof windows, pure tungsten exhausts, speed gauges encrusted with diamonds – and seats made from whale penis leather
Picture: BARCROFT MEDIA
hmm It occurred to me though that Maria and Arnold might want one so I thought I’d google up a fast article on the item… made by a Russian firm, Russo-Baltique.. (proceed to fret, we are being outdone in the gargantuan division – I say, thanks be to someone’s god!)
If four-wheel-drives weren’t politically incorrect enough, a Russian car maker is offering one with whale penis leather trim. By RICHARD BLACKBURN.
A Russian armoured-car builder is boasting that its latest vehicle has seats covered with “whale-penis leather”.
The €1 million ($1.6 million) Dartz Prombron Monaco Red Diamond Edition armoured car has been developed by the same company, RussoBaltique, that built armoured vehicles for Tsar Nicholas, Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky.
On its official website, the company says the whale-penis leather is the same as that used by Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis on the yacht Christina O.
Onassis is rumoured to have had some of the barstools on the yacht, the world’s most expensive at the time, covered in the controversial leather. . . . . .
…it all seems so long ago, but we should be relieved there is continuum! Lest the firmament tear!
For those wondering just how may whales may need to be harvested to outfit the special edition, the answer is not many. The penis of the Blue Whale, for example, can grow up to 2.4 metres.
Maybe they should just ship a whole one, along with the … car. Tank. Whatever it is.
Hail Karzai! Hail Obama! Hail Leaders!
Speaking of Hail the Guy on the Stage… I read recently that our fervent “I pledge allegiance…” hand-over-the-heart salute is from an old Roman salute.
Carry on!
Karzai declared the Elected Leader – by poll officials.

Onward!
Pauvre Diane… via Politico. To be frank, for people who had been around the block, etc., like the Diane Ravitches of this world… I don’t believe they were any more interested in change than Obama was or is.
It was a Plan.
I read his damned speeches, esp to teachers. He sent very clear messages where he was headed. And the Mrs is a graduate of a charter school in Chicago. And, they, the so “surprised”, could have looked at Chicago for chrissakes (and I am sure they did, it is not a secret what Daley, Vallas and Arne Duncan have done…).
No, the Ravitches are not “surprised”. Nor do they care.

If Corzine loses I cannot wait for the Chicago Chiclets (Jarrett Rahm Axelrod) excuses…
Well, I hope they choose the right tone and and texture of whale penis leather to go with the political armored car they’re gonna need. LOL.
Because, like the old saying…You never get a seventh chance to make a fifth impression. LOL.
Anyways gotta duck out… hit the computer store before it closes….

this culture is so beyond fucked.
The blog needs a new tag:
“I Can’t Believe It’s NOT An Onion Article!!”
Yeesh.
or “I can’t believe people still fall for this bullshit.”
Believe my (Mad)man! How’s you?? I yet live! Yipee!
heyhey brinn…
how are you holding up?
….
………..
Pretty well, all told! I just keep reminding myself that things could be FAAAR worse, the boys seem to be doing ok (their dad only moved a mile away and they see him 3x/week)…the weather is beautiful!
How’re you? (and thanks for asking!)
oh close by and seeing him several times a week is good….
Glad you survived the Tejas summer. Now for the winter……………
Yep, good for them…heh. It is a bit difficult to maintain an appropriate (whatever the hell that might be) level of emotional distance when I see him that often, but so far, we’re being fairly mature about the whole thing..yay us!
The “winter”, herm, yes…not sure if we’ll actually have one of those, but I’ll keep this (75 and sunny) for as long as possible!
Right on, MS X!
Catnip — when I saw this yesterday, I threw up in my mouth a little…I think we need to market the sanctimonious ignoramus doll next…complete with it’s own bag to suffocate itself in.
Heya– Computer Problems! Anywaaaaays –
Here’s the deal in the CessPOL State….
Dem GOTV out in forfe, visible , but 1/2 assed IMO..
I was out raking leaves yesterday in the side yard, A car drove up the street’ stops at my mailbox stuffs something in and drives off. As it was Sunday, no mail deliv I go out to fish out the propoganda and I see them hit the other houses down the street, No door knock.. Lucky me. Lucky THEM. . Hmm. Tghey did stop to chat a moment with a neighbor doin the leaf thing in front at the end of the block. Talked a few seconds and off they go.. So I go up to my neighbors place to see what’s up. LOL. Two union mahoffs from the local Local. My bud says he asked them how its lookin for Corzine and “the ticket”…(He’s going to ram it to Corzine too LOL) Says the union goons are sweating it…To bust their balls (which was lost on them) he says : ..Mehbeh you should try knocking on people’s doors..That might help… LOL. He says they gave him The overwhelmed chihuahua head tilt and left.
Anywaysx2 ..not going to be on long hope to scoot out and get some computer thingamajecky to fix the whizmo sumpthin or other so I can get back online just in time to find out which asshole we are stuck with here for the next four years…
I’ve been stirring up what I can, Greg Pason , the Socialist candidate is good for another dozen votes or so given my vast reach into the electorate..LOL. I still see Christie for the win over Corzine . Popcorn Futures up BIG if so…..the backflips to rationalize such a loss with a 700 thousand voter reg advantage would be quite the show…
He says they gave him The overwhelmed chihuahua head tilt and left.
Oh very funny!!
Silber on the gang rape out in CA in the news lately:
ugh… I wish there were easy answers… IIRC in the late nineties violent crime was starting to creep up… I had read some projections it might become an issue in upcoming elections, federal elections…
Frankly I thought on going war, bad for women and gays. Rising unemployment, less help for families struggling, high youth unemployment… and so on. But violent crime numbers have been falling. Rape, murder. Some stuff like bank robberies apparently is up.
It was an esp horrible crime. The victim in Richmond is lucky t be alive. And I can’t really gage the reaction of the community. It’s been hard to sort thru the aftermath… Her family thru a minister has appealed for calm.. there is some indication older men (mid twenties I mean) in the community want to find the perpetrators… AND the on-lookers.
Authorites were very quick to say (Jerry Brown is one, that mess of a heap of flesh) that there is no way to charge the onlookers. But there seems to be some dispute over that. To observe and EXHORT a crime is chargeable apparently under the crime laws.
I do think there is a ton of undetected violent crime. And i would lvoe to hear from a 40 year, decent cop who has covered violent crime, if he/she thinks fewer are reporting rape. The Dugard case, the Cleveland rapist and killer. He was accused of rape, and after all this is a convicted rapist who served time for violent rape…. but the cops did not pursue, his accuser had either a warrant or a record of assault. Hard to know the details with …… no details.
But had he been pursued for that accusation…. well there might not be six bodies and two live survivors.
I don’t know….
Speaking of Cleveland:
hmmm
Don’t strain honey….
Some reform huh?
There are some figures in the article based on incomes for a “family of 4″… all projections and suppositions, at this point, as I see it.
We easily pay this already…hell, 18% is “only” 141/2 K of our gross income. $800 on premiums, deductibles and co-pays for a HEALTHY year for 4 already totals this….so much sound and fury, signifying, as usual, absolutely NOTHING! fuckers.
hmm reading over the news I wonder how many people who have lined up at various clinics and Public Health Depts (which is how SF doled out the first shipments, Pub Health) were also told children need two vaccines. Not one. But two.. and a month apart apparently.
So many stories, so few vaccines.
I got my kids the seasonal, like I do each year, but I refuse to give them a vaccine that they will not let me have — screw that noise. PLUS, I am 99.9% sure that we all had H1N1 at the end of August/beginning of Sept for 3 weeks we had it all: high fever, stomach ailments of various kinds, sore throats, coughing and general feeling like dog shit…nothing like putting your immune system through the ringer early on!
What we’ve got going around here in TX right now is upper respitorysinus goo…
We have a major vaccination clusterfuck going on here in Alberta and Canada.
I got my regular shot from my dr last week on the same day his office was ordering the H1N1 supply but he wasn’t at all confident that he’d even get any.
The province, after offering the vaccination to everyone and their dog last week, ran out and closed the (very few) clinics on the weekend. Now it looks like they’re going to target high-risk people first (which they should have done in the first place – boneheads).
I had a cold followed by bronchitis in September. Since I seem to pick up whatever’s out there, I’ve decided to get the H1N1 shot. But I’m still really leery about it since testing has been so rushed and incomplete. We’re guinea pigs.
when I wandered in Google News last night for updates on Status Of Schweine Flue… HALF the links were to Calgary Vancouver print media. Same stories, with slight differences.
And all that talk that the US does not make the vaccine here… and now a slew of stories on the labs and “secret” farms (for the security of the many many egg hatcheries, and I do understand) in upstate NY or whereever in the NE where this has all been hatching and “growing”.
They need to pick a story line. Just one, please. And stick to it.
I’m not surprised. We’d be truly fucked if there was an actual pandemic going on with these morans in charge.
If only the same number who waited in line for 6-8 hours last week for their shots would show the same dedication to get out and vote these bastards out.

Hi lucid!
Hi back at you… did you and your husband split? Sorry to hear that. Hope all’s OK.
All is….thanks for asking — we now live in separate domiciles less than 1 mile apart….boys see him pretty much every other day! They seem to be mostly ok — relationship evolution all ’round!
A new thing, different thing, not at all the same as heartbreak sans chiblets…living, learning, laughing — can’t really complain … well, I could, but I’ve got other shit to do, ya know?
How’s stuff with you?
Very funny! Vote for somebody! Somewhere! Pick your state! Don’t call us, we’ll call you!
Thanks for playing!!

I guess Potus is gestating the decision. What utter fucking bullfuckingshit.
just in case the coverage tonight drives you to drink and your corkscrew is broken:
How to open a bottle of wine with your shoe
Secret copyright treaty leaks. It’s bad. Very bad.
and etc … change you can choke on.
The internet chapter of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, a secret copyright treaty whose text Obama’s administration refused to disclose due to “national security” concerns, has leaked. It’s bad.
well… all I can say is by now it is clear, for transparency, I suggest LASER SURGERY ON THIS FUCKING ADMNISTRATION.
This means that your entire family could be denied to the internet — and hence to civic participation, health information, education, communications, and their means of earning a living — if one member is accused of copyright infringement, without access to a trial or counsel.
Why is it everyfucking time you turn around the so called Big D democrats find a way to limit or choke speech. sick baby kitens have more strength and courage than this crowd of offal.
[Sorry.. we are a stifling 80+ degrees here... thank god a neighbor air lifted me ice cream.]
80+ degrees? Merde. (And that’s not fair.)

Hey hey hey – Corzine’s TOAST.
And I helped. LOL.
I personally think he went in three times, demanded by G Saxe. Like he had to go to the dumb fuck Olympic skin flay.
There is a story around that Bloomberg aides and operatives began bombarding the WH a few weeks ago, TELLING them he will win.

They’ve called Jersey…………. for Christie.
Oh the wailing and gnashing of teeth…Ob carried the state by 15. FOOF.
IMO, the bellwether is in the Independent vote…
a real attitude of “you fuck us / you’re out…”
I saw Carville use the word “slaughter” for midterms if the Dems don’t pass heathcare…Oh why beat around the bush, James? Far too kind that assessment…People voted for policy reversals last year. YOU FUCKED THEM.
I’m going to have some fun assclowning the Dailykos and Blue Jersey buttholes with some of their pre-election gibberdrool on the electorate and where it was headed… Assholes.
Clammyc…#1 Fucksteak blogwhoring the Wall Street Thief Corzine . Too funny , really,
…the mini-Aravosis and Sully types on Blue Jersey humping the hopefuls thinking the Marriage Equality Act would pass, while Election Day street money was handed to Black Ministers who gladly took Corzine’s money, did SHIYAT while – irony of ironies – whatever coinage that WASN’T skimmed off as personal tribute to the Rev’s and their elders will be used in staking out OPPOSITION to Marriage Equality.
So to all those Assholes over at Blue Jersey..You WAS PUNK”D.
Uncle Pookie, despite Ob’s exhortations, stayed on the sofa.
And it seems the mantra tonight is Ind and Moderates moving right.
Quel nooz.

Many groups will, if asked, add you to a prayer list… we even have groups here in Cali that will meditate on you, sans religion… ALL FOR FREE.
A couple of callers pointed out the huge struggle for abortion funds, when there are clearly abortions that are completely therapeutic, not a matter of choice.
no scam like the faith scam … you’d think the other believers would start charging too.
Well the Catholics still charge for lots of things… indulgences. Annulments.. etc. Good trade…
