Some light dawns on self-proclaimed liberal and atheist Susan Jaboby vis a vis multiculturalism and many of her fellow travelers on the Left. From Big Questions Online: The latest example of the Left’s blind spot on this issue is the antagonism of so many liberal reviewers toward Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s recent memoir, Nomad. The Somali-born [...] and then there are journalists. P.J. O’Rourke tells us about a special kind of expert in The Weekly Standard — the 72-Hour Expert from Kabul, Afghanistan. If you spend 72 hours in a place you’ve never been, talking to people whose language you don’t speak about social, political, and economic complexities you don’t understand, and [...] From the Detroit Free Press comes this: Miss USA Rima Fakih of Dearborn says she doesn’t believe a mosque should be built near the site of the World Trade Center in New York City Read more: Miss USA Rima Fakih: No mosque near Ground Zero AH HA! Share on Facebook All this time, I thought Muslims were wanting to restore a Chrysler Cordoba. In the name of Allah, hold out for a Challenger or a Dart. Share on Facebook (From CNN.com) NEW YORK (CNN) — Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Thursday the city would not accept a $10 million donation for disaster relief from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal after the prince suggested U.S. policies in the Middle East contributed to the September 11 attacks. “I entirely reject that statement,” Giuliani said. “There is no moral equivalent [...] Looks like Iran/Israel may be heating up sooner rather than later. From the Jerusalem Post: Former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton said he didn’t see “any signs whatsoever that President Obama would make the necessary decision” to strike Iran’s nuclear reactor, speaking in an interview with Israel Radio Tuesday. Bolton claimed Israel has only [...] After an unexpected week off (no, we weren’t licking our wounds after not being able to figure out what’s up with the Podbean archiving), RF3D’s back in action today — 4-6 PM PST on Right Talk Radio. Guests include the production team behind No No: A Dockumentary, talking Dock Ellis and 70s baseball … comedians Ellen [...] Here’s fascinating article from The New York Times on Obama’s expansion of drone and commando operations across Asia and Africa. The attack offered a glimpse of the Obama administration’s shadow war against Al Qaeda and its allies. In roughly a dozen countries — from the deserts of North Africa, to the mountains of Pakistan, to former [...] Here’s a good full look at the Israeli response to a nuclear Iran and a portrait of Benjamin Netanyahu (Israeli Prime Minister) from The Atlantic… according to Jeffrey Goldberg… they are fast approaching the point of no return. But the Israelis are doubtful that a man who positioned himself as the antithesis of George W. Bush, [...] We’re all familiar with the number of dead on 9-11 — or its approximation — 3,000 total including over 2,700 in the World Trade Center attack. I had assumed that after nearly 9 years that most (well over most) remains had been recovered and identified. That assumption was wrong**. Human Remains Discovered Since 2006 About [...]
Big Allah – Batteries Not Included (or invented for that matter). Is it just me, or is the symbolism here about as ironic as it gets? Saudi Arabia will test what it is billing as the world’s largest clock in the holy city of Mecca during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, the [...] So, the Muslim investors championing the construction of the new mosque near Ground Zero claim it’s all about strengthening the relationship between the Muslim and non-Muslim world. As an American, I believe they have every right to build the mosque – after all, if they buy the land and they follow [...] I know this story is all over the news — people can’t STOP talking about it, but just in case you’re the one in 311 million people who haven’t heard… while New York City rushes to help Muslims build an Allah-damned mosque 500 ft. from Ground Zero — St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, which was [...] Bill McGurn has a great piece on the Mosque that is being planned near Ground Zero in today’s Wall Street Journal. Here’s a bit, go read the whole thing: In the 1980s, Carmelite nuns moved into an abandoned building on the edge of the former Nazi death camp to pray for the souls taken there. [...] It seems our troops won’t be home from Afghanistan in 2011 as promised by our TelePrompter in Chief. From this AP report: “Nobody thinks that Afghanistan is going to be a model Jeffersonian democracy,” President Barack Obama said in a television interview that aired Sunday. “What we’re looking to do is difficult — very difficult — [...] Here’s an interesting — and telling — story from Yahoo! News about the status of trials for terrorists and other unlawful enemy combatants down at Gitmo. A bit: Attorney General Eric Holder announced in November the trial would be moved to federal court in New York. But the administration backtracked and put the issue under [...] and this is why From Friday’s London Daily Telegraph: In an interview with Channel 4 News, Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, said they were studying and investigating the report, adding “If they are US spies, then we know how to punish them.” The warning came as the US military’s top officer, Admiral Mike Mullen said that [...] I had heard that Frank Miller had wanted to do a Batman graphic novel in which the Caped Crusader opens up a can of whoop-ass on al-Qaeda. Given the PC nature of corporate comics today (DC in this case) it appears that such a Batman comic was not meant to be, though Miller says [...] Last week I blogged an item about how the Gulf oil spill’s long term effects are being over hyped by the media. In that post I asked: How bad can the long term environmental damage be when the Gulf of Mexico is already loaded with oil and has been for thousands or millions of years? So [...] Watch the above… Then read this from The Australian: Correspondence obtained by The Sunday Times reveals the Obama administration considered compassionate release more palatable than locking up Abdel Baset al-Megrahi in a Libyan prison. The intervention, which has angered US relatives of those who died in the attack, was made by Richard LeBaron, deputy head of the US [...] Here is a great review of the above book (now on my Amazon wish list) from The National — Abu Dhabi’s English language newspaper.

OK… she’s breaking a couple of laws. Hamas has outlawed wimmins from smoking hookahs in Gaza Strip.

Sadly, these episodes will no longer be part of mission briefings. And then this happened: “It is a matter of trying to reach out and get the best of all worlds, if you will, and there is much to be gained by drawing in the contributions that are possible from the _____ (nations),” [...] From the London Daily Telegraph: Michael Oren, Israel’s ambassador to Washington, told foreign ministry colleagues at a private briefing in Jerusalem that they were facing a long and potentially irrevocable estrangement. Sources said Mr Oren told the meeting: “There is no crisis in Israel-US relations because in a crisis there are ups and downs. [Instead] relations are [...] Socialists and green whack jobs do no play. Witness this story from Spain — courtesy of Pajamas Media: Spain’s Dr. Gabriel Calzada — the author of a damning study concluding that Spain’s “green jobs” energy program has been a catastrophic economic failure — was mailed a dismantled bomb on Tuesday by solar energy company Thermotechnic.

Here’s a bit, go read the whole thing: The subtitle of Nomad is A Personal [...] David Stein, kicking major ass and actually allowing those named to have their say, doing the hardcore investigative work the ever-dying kamikaze media (you know, journalists) used to do. God bless the new media, and thank you, David, for being on the front lines!!! Now off to get the number of my local SoCal Edison [...] Sammy Davis, Jr. — Jew. Or was he? Maybe Sammy Davis, Jr. was a plant for the Dutch police. From The London Daily Telegraph: Lodewijk Asscher, Amsterdam’s mayor, has ordered the new decoy strategy to cut the number of verbal and physical attacks on Jews, amid fears that anti-Semitic “hate crime” is on [...] Manute Bol with Muggsy Bogues (at the time the tallest and shortest players in the NBA). Manute Bol has died at the age of 47. From The Washinton Post blog: His cousin George Bol said Mr. Bol had internal bleeding and other complications from Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, a rare skin disease that he contracted from [...] From The Sun via The Jawa Report I realize this is The Sun, but if you go to the link you will see the awful signs and rage displayed by these fine upstanding young Britons. Pray for England. SICK Muslim extremists bombarded our soldiers with abuse at a homecoming parade today — calling them BUTCHERS and [...] With friends like the Pakistanis… who needs enemies? From The Times of London: Pakistani support for the Taliban in Afghanistan runs far deeper than a few corrupt police officers, however. The Sunday Times can reveal that it is officially sanctioned at the highest levels of Pakistan’s government. Pakistan’s own intelligence agency, the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence), is said to [...] Mark Steyn: Imperialism is the answer Posted on Sunday, October 14, 2001 8:26:20 AM by Pokey78 The following is from the above link by Mark Steyn: For a few minutes last Sunday, Osama bin Laden was the only 11th century guy with his own CNN gig, and what he had [...] Ass-Holy Warriors at rest A couple of weeks ago, I was speaking to a soldier who had just returned from service in Afghanistan and asked for his take on that conflict. He said that it’s essentially all about the Pashtuns and he didn’t hold out much hope that would ever change. There are approximately [...] My outrage meter already over-pegged, I couldn’t bring forth the effort to so much as shrug over the latest blathering of Helen Thomas, who believes Israeli Jews should pack up and head back to Germany and Poland. But given my lack of blogging lately, I figured my two-cents should be inserted somewhere, and it might [...] The Iranian Revolutionary Guard stand ready to help ships run the Israeli and Egyptian blockade of Gaza. And this is from the Big Mullah — not his crazy lapdog, according to MSNBC: “Iran’s Revolutionary Guards naval forces are fully prepared to escort the peace and freedom convoys to Gaza with all their powers and capabilities,” [...] h/t: Libertas Film Magazine. Interesting article on the film, the novel on which its based and the punk scene that has arisen around it. The movie is being released this Autumn. Share on Facebook Jeffery Goldberg writes extensively about Israel from a pretty moderate perspective. His blog includes his battles with fellow Atlantic blogger Andrew Sullivan, who as we speak, is probably on his Spongebob donut floating haplessly toward the Gaza blockade. I thought this was a balanced retort with looks from both sides of the whole blockade issue. There’s [...] We recently had one of our infrequent meetings of the Threedonian Ruling Council of Elders. It was fun, even though Floyd forgot to bring the bean dip (again) and Rufus insisted on trying on Wank’s do-me pumps, which was about as disturbing as you imagine. Nonetheless, we discussed, we argued, we laughed, we cried and [...] Bush… regrets… he’s had a few perhaps… but they don’t include waterboarding terrorists. From MLive.com (Grand Rapids, MI): Former President George W. Bush was by turns affable, relaxed — and deadly serious in his local appearance Wednesday. “Yeah, we water-boarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,” Bush said of the terrorist who master-minded the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on [...] Via Neptunus Lex Several female newsreaders have been fired from Al-Jazeera for not being modest enough. The outrage, at least they weren’t doing this… …so it’s all in how you look at it. Share on Facebook |
