This coming Saturday is Halloween! C2 is celebrating all this week, by introducing liberty pub posts with a fun, scary Halloween classic!
This video is a special request by doppelganglander.
Tonight's ingredients for horror and fun: A nightmarish traveling carnival, the offer to live out your secret fantasies, and two innocent 13-year-old boys. From the combined efforts of Walt Disney Studios and Ray Bradbury, I give you Something Wicked This Way Comes.
Forth! - C²

In my best "Nick" voice:
"Hey look, mister, we serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast and we don't need any characters around to give the joint atmosphere."
Sorry I am late. I can help out until Brandy gets here.

ReplyDeleteThank you Patriots for helping we Virginians make a forceful referendum next week on the icky okkupayshun by the DNC/Obama/ACORNista/Union/Abortion Rights crowd.
ReplyDeleteOur own current governor has been working full time to keep these tyrants in our face four more years.
Thank you again for your getting the word out: This will not stand for long.

That's up to Brandy now!
Never saw the film of "Something Wicked..."
ReplyDeleteBut I still remember the lightning-rod salesman's line in the book; "Hammer it high, or you're dead come dawn!"
Brandy - I'd like to stay with my usual, thank you hon.
ReplyDeleteHere you go Bat. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteErik, just for you!
ReplyDeleteBrandy, Thank you!
ReplyDelete*bursts through door panting*
ReplyDeleteGreat trick changing the escalator to run DOWN after y'all get up here, Erik.
Took me three tries...
Here's your Irish Dew Callahan. How are you doing tonight?
ReplyDeleteSo is everyone ready for Hallowe'en?
ReplyDeleteSquatch, how are you sweetheart? What would you like to drink?
ReplyDeleteAlegrias and Buzz, how are you both tonight? May I get you something?
ReplyDeleteBar Wench Brandy said...
ReplyDeleteErik, just for you!
That's a new one for me. I have tasted everything you have poured for me. I have never had the 18yo Glenmorangie before. Thanks
Thank you Brandy - ever more tired running up to the weekend. I'll probably won't be able to last long tonight.
ReplyDeleteOops that might have come out wrong, somehow. %-)
Isn't that a neat trick Squatch? Taught him everything he knows when it comes to stuff like that.
ReplyDelete/misspent career as a security guard...
You're welcome Erik.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of ghoulish gals & guys--
ReplyDeleteThese lovely folks including President Obama's campaign "choice expert" Ms. Emily Polak now at NARAL are out drinking at bars around towns across the country to raise money for their attacks on Bob McDonnell through NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League). I went to their website and find out one NARAL office is here in my town.
These sick people want to close down "Pregnancy Crisis Centers"--that encourage folks to think twice about undergoing abortions--while pushing taxpayers cover abortion procedures in Pelosi's Plan.
Bar Wench Brandy said...
ReplyDeleteEvening, Brandy. Especially lovely this evening! Lady in Red
I'll sneak some of what Cal's having. Looks top shelf.

I think you'll enjoy the film version!
I'd never heard of the book or the movie until I learned about it from doppleganglander.
Thank you, Squatch dear. I love that song.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that a neat trick Squatch? Taught him everything he knows when it comes to stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteAHA...I get to blame YOU !!

ReplyDeleteTennessee AG: Landlords can ban guns of permit holders
ReplyDeleteNASHVILLE - A landlord can legally prohibit tenants who hold handgun carry permits from bringing their weapons into a rented apartment, according to an opinion from Attorney General Bob Cooper that was released today.
The opinion came in response to a request from state Rep. Tony Shipley, R-Kingsport, who said he had thought the answer would have been to the contrary.
Shipley said the question was raised by an adult University of Tennessee student who had been prohibited from having a firearm in his rented Knoxville apartment.
"It strikes me that there shouldn't be a prohibition," he said in a telephone interview.
Shipley said the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution would apply to someone living in an apartment to prevent law enforcement officers from entering without a search warrant.
"If the Fourth Amendment applies, why doesn't the Second Amendment apply?" he said. "Can a landlord say you give up free speech, under the First Amendment, in the apartment? I think not."
pimf - How on earth did that W sneak in there???
ReplyDeleteSqwuatch - feel free to share the bottle of old Irish with me, buddy.
ReplyDeleteThanks, bud.
Wow, alcohol that doesn't come in a box ?
What will they think of next....

Last I heard, McDonnell has an 11-point lead in the polls. Let's grow that!
Of course, there's only 1 poll that counts.
It's interesting to see how many movies--not to mention novels, short stories, etc.--would be totally moot had the protagonists had cell phones.
ReplyDeleteScotch on the rocks it is, Buzz.

In Tennessee, apparently everything.
Let's fight this!
"If the Fourth Amendment applies, why doesn't the Second Amendment apply?" he said. "Can a landlord say you give up free speech, under the First Amendment, in the apartment? I think not."
ReplyDeleteApparently, that's what they've just ruled.
Does anyone need a drink?
ReplyDeleteTa, ever so, BWB.

It's the latest cliche in suspense - Cell phones dying just before the big moment!
Hi everyone!
ReplyDeleteSnowcrash! Great to see you. Something to drink?

ReplyDeleteDon't think it's scary? Watch this!
Arrgh! Evening mates, been hanging out on the local cops blog this evening, I haven't been there in a week and they complain just like I did in the navy. A lot of politics and promotions went down this week, and a cop was "grazed" by a bullet in the knee today during a traffic stop. The perp has just been caught and all is well superficially. My lady, Wench, I would love a shot of Tennessee whiskey. Much Obbliged...

Thanks Brandy. I'm old enough to remember when this was new and Motown was relevant.

ReplyDeleteOLT, here's some Glenlivit for you.
Sure am glad JCM is buying!
Brandy, here's looking at you (as often as I can without getting caught)!
Hi Brandy-I'm still on tea...still a snot nosed Jewhadi mom...
ReplyDeleteDearborn, Michigan is Mo' Town now...
ReplyDeleteOMG Buzz funny. SO true. It really is.
ReplyDeleteOLT - believe me they did, they really did escape.
ReplyDeleteGood Evening WriterMom. Just regular flu or cold?
ReplyDeleteHere you are LoFlyer, some Gentleman Jack.
ReplyDeleteNow there would be a project...rewriting all the original Motown hits as "Mo' Town" jihad numbers.
ReplyDeleteIt would make a great musical, that would never, ever be produced.

I love {y’all) Really!
Writer M, Nah, I am a county network engineer and I work closely with the county cops on various issues. Most people don't realize it but cops are people too. They have a great sense of humor once you get through the BS and gain their trust. Twenty years ago the Narcs were ready to bust me for entering their territory, once I gained their trust I learned they are some really great guys doing a really crappy job....
ReplyDeleteOK Bar Goers, our next treat is a film that was rated X!
ReplyDeleteIt's only 8 minutes long, but is a horror classic nonetheless!

Let's head on up--------------------------------->
ReplyDeleteNite Cal!
ReplyDeleteThanks for leaving a little in the bottle for me.
Thoughts on Today
ReplyDeleteThe BNP might get 22% of the vote in the next British election, terror arrests and a shooting in Detroit, Iran told the world to pound sand, arrests of US citizens trying to kill Danish a cartoonist and Editor and lastly Hamas cancels the election called by President Abbas.
At the center of all of these stories is a great truth: the tide of radical violent Islam is still very much in business.
The surge of the BNP in the UK is hardly surprising. You have had the biggest demographic change in the history of England without a minute of debate in Parliament. Immigration is the single biggest issue in Britain today, there are towns and a neighborhood where being a non-Muslim is actually dangerous and the government policy is to subsidize the importing of still more socially unintegrated aliens. They don't even try to recruit people to be British; instead, the UK meekly leaves its own citizens to fend for themselves as the public spaces of the UK become ever more dangerous. With all the major parties ignoring this, the single most important issue of modern life, the BNP gains credibility it does not deserve for at least speaking on the topic. The BNP has already warned UK Jews to shut up or pay the price if they gain power. Not that it matters, either way the Jews of Britain should pack now because the Jewish history in Europe is ending fast.
The US domestic terror news shows that violent Islam is still here in our midst. As I always do, we must point out that some US Muslims have risked their lives to stop their violent brethren but it does not change the fact that there are violent cadres plotting to commit acts of mass murder and then shoot First Responders. Or kill the Jytlynds Post Mohammed cartoon creator and publisher or just violently set up an Islamic state in the middle of the USA.
Recently, I began reading "The Reliance of the Traveler," a rather important book. For us it is actually MORE important than the Koran. Why? Because this book is the OFFICIAL interpretation of what the Koran means. While the teachings on Jihad and how to treat non-Muslims are no less bloodcurdling than the language of the Koran, leftists and apologists for Islam prefer to pretend this book does not exist. They do not want to read that violent Jihad is offensive in nature and intended to conquer the world. The book would be considered sexist, racist and homophobic by ANY modern reader. Yet Muslims are never called on to explain the book and its relationship with the Koran.
Lastly, Iran is arming itself daily and its nuclear program is set on go. Negotiations are going nowhere and the news the US is developing policy for what to do WHEN Iran has the bomb is the dead giveaway that Obama has already resigned us all to live under Iranian nuclear threat.
Let me say that this is INSANE. If Iran has the bomb then Hezbollah AND al Qaeda have the bomb. The administration decided on a future where we will get hit by terror groups protected by Iran's nuclear umbrella. The criminal stupidity of this decision is frightening. If Iran conducts a nuclear test, Obama should be impeached for dereliction of his duty to defend the nation. At no time during the cold war did Democrats ever cut funding for human rights groups or VOA, yet this President has cut funding or otherwise blocked the operations of EVERY US based or backed anti-regime organization. This is the despicable act of appeasement since Chamberlain gave Czechoslovakia to Hitler. We will have war in our times before we have peace. The only hope to avoid war with Iran is a revolution. As stated, the democratic opposition will have to do it without US help.
Israel is watching all this and, having probably knocked out Iran’s only AWACs is preparing for a horrible regional war with Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas. It will be ugly. Every single war Israel has ever fought has happened when Israel was attacked or otherwise had no other choice but to fight. Right now Israel is looking like a distinct possibility.
ReplyDeleteIf Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear program, Obama will be furious and his already low boil antipathy for the Jewish state will be put on display for all to see. His effort to make peace (at Israel’s expense) will have failed and he will spend his every day in office making Israel miserable. If it comes to war, tens of thousands of missiles and rockets will hit Israel. There will be a lot of damage to Israel’s infrastructure and civilian population. What Israel will do to its enemies will be one for the books. Hezbollah will be annihilated; the Assad regime of Syria will be a red paste stain. Israel will be fighting a war far away with Iran and in close with Hamas, Hezbollah and Syria. Iran will fire off everything they have against the Gulf states, oil shipping and US forces in the region. Oil will hit who knows what price. This failure will be Obama’s and Obama’s alone. When you back a small country into a corner and leave them the non-choice of dying or fighting, they will fight.
I don’t want this war but between the US NIE that tied Bush’s hands and ended his pressure on Iran to Obama’s craven policy, the left in its projection “they are just like us” theory/idiocy on the dictators of the world ensures that war will happen by precluding the only formula proven to prevent war- strength and determination.
Lastly, I would be remiss if I did not remark on the first ever J-Street confab. Three years ago Walt and Mearsheimer “warned” anti-Semites and anti-Israel cadres that Israel’s allies in America were too powerful and needed to be balanced. And behold, with a healthy dose of Soros, Saudi and Iranian stooge’s money, J-Street was born. They are so “pro Israel” their college supporters dropped the “Pro-Israel” part of the group’s slogan and they have yet to advocate ANY policy other than those that are advocated by the most extreme of Israel’s enemies. You can not have enough contempt for these characters. They were created to injure Israel and they are dead set on doing just that.
All of these events are fueled by an Islamic radical world that is very much at war with the west and western leaders, with few exceptions, doing nothing about defending liberty and thereby inviting a horrible war.
OK now you know what I have been thinking about.
