Size Does Matter!..

Nestled on the horizon south of O-Town,and visible from the main hi-ways leading in and out of our humble hamlet,lie the world renowned Sutter Buttes!

'What makes them world renowned Sling?'...

Hey!..Do I interrupt you guys while you're talking?..Now I've lost my train of thought..
Oh yes,..the Sutter Buttes,named after that John Sutter character who discovered gold in California while searching for a shorter route to India,hold the singular distinction of being the smallest mountain range in the world!
I've nicked a photo of this natural wonder in it's entirety from Flikr,..for your shopping convenience.



Formed 1.5 million years ago from the eroded domes of an extinct volcano,'The Buttes',as we locals refer to them,are a mere 10 miles in diameter.
Compare that to South America's Andes mountains,the world's longest mountain range at 4,400 miles!

'But Sling,..what exactly constitutes a mountain range?..I mean,those just look like a bunch of scraggly hills to me..

Man,..you people are just intent on irritating me!..I should make you look it up,but I started this geekfest,and I'm gonna finish it.
..Those people that cloister themselves away in the halls of academia in an effort to resolve such questions,have unanimously agreed,(with the delegation from Kansas abstaining),that a mountain is a geologic formation,whose peak reaches a minimum height of 2,000 feet above sea level.

The tallest peak in our little formation,'South Butte',(they really racked their brains over naming that one),rises to the majestic height of 2,130 feet!..Putting the whole pile of rocks squarely in the record books.

Now,..you all have something to discuss during any awkward lulls in conversation that may occur over Thanksgiving dinner with the in-laws..

Happy Monday!..

..Young Jackson likes to freshen up a bit before starting a new week.

Have a great week kids!..

Ask Sling..

Dear Sling,
Well,President Obama has done it again!
He's ordered that five of the men responsible for the terrorist attacks on 9/11 be brought back to the United States,to stand trial for their crimes..in a civilian court!
Do you know what that means?
That means that they will be guaranteed a public trial,with all the rights and privileges of every one else that commits crimes against the people of the United States!
Oh.My.God..Ladies and gentlemen!
*Wheeze..Harrumph!*
Now we probably won't be able to use much of the information that was developed using illegal torture enhanced interrogation techniques,not to mention that they will have a public forum in which to poison our children's minds with their hateful dogma.
This is typical Liberal shenanigans!
..I mean,I've spent years instilling my own hateful dogma in the hearts of my offspring,and I'll not have some black Muslim foreign Nigerian Socialist body me and twelve of my friends didn't even vote for, undermining all that carefully orchestrated fundamentalist indoctrination.
Why can't we just do the right thing,and take them out into the woods behind Gitmo,have them dig their own graves,and put an unceremonious bullet in the back of their heads?
That would be the American way!

Sincerely,
Lush Rimjob

Dear bloated,bigoted,fact twisting,do-whatever-it-takes to instill fear in the weak minded in an effort to advance your own pathetic racist agenda,douchebag,..

In the name of GAWD!..How the fuck is it you can pollute the airwaves with all your unintelligible fucking bullshit about Obama 'Taking away our rights and freedoms',..and then incite people to abandon the entire Bill of Rights when it suits your visceral thirst for vengeance?
Here's a news flash for you..When we circumvent due process,the terrorists win.
..It's just that simple.
And speaking of due process,you incredibly ignorant fuck,if ANY evidence is excluded due to statements made under duress TORTURE,you can lay that shit on the administration that chose to ignore American principles,shred the Constitution,and embark on their own unilateral wet dream...That would be Dickless Cheney,and his hapless underling,Bubba Bush!
As far as your hue and cry against bringing them to the United States to face prosecution in a civilian court being too dangerous for the public good,let me remind you that prior to 9/11,the most devastating terrorist attack on American soil was the Oklahoma City bombing.
Timothy McVeigh was not only held accountable in civilian court,but was successfully prosecuted, found guilty,and eventually put to death.
I guess you didn't have a problem with that,what with him being a white guy and all.
Besides,we have another legal tradition in this country that you've undoubtedly conveniently forgotten.
'Habeas Corpus',..which roughly translates to,'Bring that motherfucker HERE!'..So he can stand on the site of his atrocity,face the judgement of the people he's violated,in the civilized light of day,and present the example of real American justice to the world.
Friend and foe alike..
..and while I'm on a roll,..tell your girlfriend Hannity to go fuck himself,and raise his own little bastards.
