Are you sick and tired of the inferior and defective mantles that BriteLyt is selling for the Aida/Petromax/Hipolito/BriteLyt 500CP kerosene lanterns, that immediately blow a hole out of the bottom of mantle when initially lighting the lantern, or do not survive more than a single use or two before totally disintegrating? Try the Coleman #11-102C Mantles that Coleman sells for their Model 639B700 500CP kerosene lantern... they work superbly in the afore-mentioned lanterns, and cost considerably less as well!
In the (more than) three months that BriteLyt has been raving over at their Internet message board about their new so-called "superior Super Mantle" that they have been developing for these lanterns (which will cost about TWICE the price of their regular mantles), I have been using the EXACT SAME Coleman #11-102C mantle that I originally installed in my Hipolito 500CP kerosene lantern well over three months ago (with numerous lightings, and quite a few fuel-fills of use)... ironic, isn't it?
Update - February 1, 2006: BriteLyt has finally released their new so-called "superior Super Mantle" that they have been "developing" for these lanterns. Developing? No! These so-called "new" mantles that BriteLyt supposedly "developed" are made by Luxor... and are the exact same mantles that Luxor has been selling for years for these lanterns!
Read the Total Blather and More Total Blather of one of our so-called "educated" younger generation... a prime example of a "first-time voter" who will be voting in the upcoming presidential election!
Seriously folks, at the very least, click on the first link above and browse a few of the comments by this "educated" first-time voter. Then, after you've had your fill, read his first Hypocritical Blog Entry about nonviolence, peace, love, brotherhood, and singing Kumbaya in general. It's a scary concept that this is one who will be participating in the upcoming presidential election, isn't it?
This new "OBAMA" satellite dish television station on Dish Network runs continuously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, up until the presidential election. The latest news (October 9, 2008) is that the Obama campaign is also working on a deal for a 30 minute prime-time slot on all of the major broadcast network television stations to be aired directly before the election.
How the hell much $$$ does this cost? Exactly who are his campaign contributors?![]()
Update - October 10, 2008: After emailing Dish Network with the question of "How much is the Obama campaign paying for this new television station?", I received the reply "We're sorry, but this information is unavailable".
Oh well...

"Damn all those evil Republicans with their stolen and rigged elections!!"
"Damn all those big corporation Republicans with their high-budget political campaigns!!"

Anyhow, I damned sure now better get my complimentary $3000 check and free health care.
Viva Presidenté Hussein... Change we (do NOT) need!

In case you might have missed it, today is Earth Day!
To do my own little part to "save the planet" I figured that I'd post specific instructions for cleaning up the toxic waste caused by accidently breaking one of those little compact fluorescent light bulbs... you know, the ones that are actually supposed to save the planet by conserving electricity (not destroy it by releasing toxins into the environment that may kill you!).
This directly from the EPA's web site at http://www.epa.gov/hg/spills :
Compact fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury sealed within the glass tubing. The EPA recommends the following clean-up and disposal below. Please also read the information below on this page about "What Never to Do with a Mercury Spill".
So, there you have it... and I highly recommend printing out these instructions for future reference. You know, so's you don't destroy the planet (or possibly poison yourself to death)... with these modern so-called green-technology wonders!
By the way Prez. Obama, where's my complimentary automobile tire-pressure gauge?
Also Prez. Obama, folk's electricity bills in my locale are soon to be increased as much as $50 A MONTH(!) by the local power company (this due to your massive tax spending... er... I mean, green incentives). That $13 a week tax break that your regime has so graciously given the American people will sure come in handy now, thanks!
So much for that extra can of beans that folks were going to treat themselves to...
Lastly, the latest word from climate researchers is that obese people indirectly contribute to a substantial percentage of so-called "climate change" to the planet. As I type this current rant of the day, I'm snacking on a bag of "Low Fat Mini Pretzel Twists". Just a-wondering... do I get a "Carbon Credit" for not contributing to this statistic?
Sieg Heil, Comrade Obama!
65 years ago to the day (August 4) Anne Frank was narked out by a "concerned citizen" as to where she was hiding. The nark dutifully supported his government and "did the right thing for the country".
On August 4, 2009, President NoBama has instructed our Good Citizens to be just as vigilant towards those who would have the AUDACITY to disagree with his policies, and to report such anti-government activities to the White House itself!
"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."
Hmmm... funny thing... that there damned infernal "Privacy Act of 1974, 2004 Edition":
US Code §552a(e)(7) commands that:
(Any Federal agency) "Maintain no record describing how any individual exercises rights guaranteed by the First Amendment unless expressly authorized by statute or by the individual about whom the record is maintained or unless pertinent to and within the scope of an authorized law enforcement activity."
Oh well...

"Peace", as in his association with "peacemakers" such as the hate-spewing Reverend "God D#$% America!" Wright? "Peace", as in his association with "peacemakers" such as William "Domestic Terrorist" Aires? "Peace", as in his appointed environmental czar Van "Self-Proclaimed Communist" Jones? "Peace", as in his handshaking, bowing, elbow-rubbing, and pleasant "tea and a chat" with ruthless terrorist-harboring dictators of the world?
Maybe... he was chosen for all of his good "deeds" and "works"?
"Deeds", as in his numerous worldwide "Apologize for America" tours? "Works", as in his ability to deliver a well-composed robotic speech via teleprompter?
Or, maybe it was because of all of his "hard work" and campaigning for the Olympics to be held in his hometown of Chicago?
I simply don't know. Can someone... ANYONE... please tell me of ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING that he has ACTUALLY accomplished... other than making a big fat freakin' mess of this Country?!
Oh well...
[Obama-BiteMe 2012]
In a small White House ceremony this morning, President Barak Obama signed into law Software Development Infinite Life Cycle Funding Relief Program (SDILCFRP), providing $20 billion of tax payer dollars for struggling developer 3D Realms.
"It is important that we look toward long-term employment considerations in the United States, and this law will employ dozens for at least two decades of further development on Duke Nukem Forever," the President said in brief remarks. "In a world where the process is clearly more important than the goal, we must make sure that people are rewarded just for being, and not punished for failing to produce."
Under terms of the new law, 3D Realms will be required to make changes to game content to be consistent with administration policies and initiatives.
3D Realms' flagship game, Duke Nukem Forever, will be renamed to "Duke Nuke for Change", and its star character will undergo a make-over to "better represent America to the world," according to UN Ambassador Susan Rice.
"It is no wonder that this game failed. Duke Nukem is the arch-typical right-wing extremist, carrying guns everywhere and waving the American flag. He bears no social obligation and leaves a trail of destruction wherever he goes," Rice said.
Nukem will now carry the UN banner throughout the game, reading Miranda rights to the game's enemies and carrying injured aliens to free healthcare facilities throughout the urban areas that represent the game's setting.
Part of Duke Nukem's change will be disarming the charismatic character, with his guns being replaced with a ballpoint pen from ACORN and a voter registration clipboard. Nukem's new goal will be to enlighten extraterrestrial enemies to register to vote and participate in the political process, a possible indication of Obama's support of alien voter rights in the US.
In addition, the infamous swine-shaped law enforcement agents will be removed from the game entirely, so as to not offend Muslims who Obama hopes will become consumers of the software title, once completed. Instead, all enemies will be modeled to appear as Rush Limbaugh.
"If Duke is successful in registering them to vote, he will gain points and the enemy will transform into an attractive, young, cool hipster wearing hemp clothing and carrying the latest iPhone," according to DNF's new project manager, Rahm Emmanuel. "However, if Nukem fails to register the enemy, their kidneys will immediately fail and they will die."
Republicans immediately released a statement blasting the program as a waste of tax payer dollars, and promised to slow the funding by placing George Broussard in charge of all SDILCFRP operations.
