Extremist violence rocks Hamburg

Left-wing demonstrators angered by a neo-Nazi rally hurled bottles at police and set cars and rubbish bins ablaze. Police responded with water cannon.

Lovely.

As far as I know, the Sadr City air strike was a success.

If insurgents were hit, that's good for us. If civilians had died, then insurgents would have had some propaganda to spread out.

Broken glass and broken ambulances. I feel for the wounded but it could have gone wrong. I'm glad it didn't.

You know, Hezbollah has been known to use the hospitals themselves as headquarters. Hell, Hezbollah has used UN ambulances to make their getaway. This Sadr City headquarters thing sounds a lot like "human shields" to me, putting it up there next to a hospital.

Counter-Insurgency is like ballet, imho. It's a fine line between failure and success, so God bless all those involved.

Good night, lizards.

No, I'm going to pretend it was hungry. I haven't figured out what that means quite yet, nor which one is more disturbing. Somehow I find "hungry" to be more amusing. lol

Personally, I don't wonder. It's a leftist. They are, as a rule, batshit insane. They don't care what they do, and the crazier it is, the more they perceive it to lend to their lib cred.

I don't understand it, and quite frankly I don't want to. They are so insane as to be....insane.

Many moons ago, I had a customer one day who was wearing a Primus t-shirt. I looked at him and said, "Primus sucks." He looked at me, first with a split second of shock, then an instant look of recognition came across his face and he smiled. It was great. It always separates the Primus wheat from the chaff.

re: #72 DesertSage Well that may be - depends on your specialty - and then again the pay just might be enough to cover your funeral.
As you probably know, the largest contractor (for security services) is Blackwater 5 and they're located in North Carolina. If you're serious (and I hope you're not) y'all ought to contact them about it- see if you meet their qualifications.

90 abolitionist  Sat, May 3, 2008 8:59:36pm

I was curious about how popular some names were, and found this interesting tool:

Baby Name Wizard - NameVoyager: Explore name trends letter by letter

It requires Java enabled, and gives a text and graphics presentation of popularity of first names, decade by decade. You can mouse over areas to easily find popular names. Alternatively, at the prompt at top left, you can type in one or more letters, and narrow down the amount of info presented, even down to a single name.

For example, popularity of the name Barry peaked in the 1950s and 1960s, at about 1200 or so per million.

Presumably the database is for the US.

Last post I saw from PBD was his rather snarky insult to Charles over spell checking. Not sure where that came from, but it's hardly ban-worthy. Maybe it escalated. He's a good guy, but as you know, he's been going through a bad patch and wasn't dealing with it the best way possible. Just a real shame.

Beaver

Gynecological sense ("female genitals, especially with a display of pubic hair") is 1927 British slang, transferred from earlier meaning "a bearded man" (1910), from the appearance of split beaver pelts.

Dunno, Mandy.

I once heard an early-60s rock instrumental titled "Beaver Shot" (slang for a full-nude photo of a woman -- verboten in those days), and it opens with the singer yelling, "Dig that craaaazy pelt!" Maybe it's the "fur" thing.

I could explain "pussy" more easily, but it's kind of a nasty story (hint: it's a corruption of a common French word for a kind of edible animal.)

Still and all I sure wish he'd a e-mailed me as I asked him to (and as was suggested to him by other LGFer's) before he got the boot because IN SPITE of his comments about Charles, I think he really needs US, ya know. And now he has no way to get my e-mail addy.

It's kind of like being invited into someone's beautifully kept home, insulting the host's taste, peeing on the rug, then asking "when's dinner?"

For whatever reason, he was being really negative. I know his sis is diagnosed with C, and I tried to tell him that you have got to think positive - negativity just feeds the illness. People with C or who might have C need positive, loving people, not negative, heavy-handed, depressed and angry people. When I had C, I thought positive, and the people around me reflected that and did not hang negativity all around me. His sis needs anything but dispair and lashing out at the moment. Lashing out in weakness hurts only one's self.

She surprised the world by finishing second and the just collapsed after the finish line with two broken front ankles. She died trying to play catch up with Big Brown, who ran an incredible race. That horse is amazing. He was just toying with the field until the last 1/4 mile when it took off and left the rest far behind. Its like he was jogging while every other horse was running for most of the race.

re: #207 laZardo

Isn't anger one of the five stages of whatever those were though?

I think I had already hit and passed the first few stages. When I was diagnosed, within the previous six months:
I found out my husband was a heroin addict (he called me from the addictions center, where he had checked himself in)
We declared bankruptcy
My cat died (he was only seven - we don't know what it was)
My husband left me
My mother died in a fall

So by the time C happened, I was pretty darn strong, having coped with a lot of stuff at once. What helped me the most was the advice I sought and received when my husband left me. I had some great counseling that made all the difference in all the things that happened. Made me a stronger - and I think better - person.

And my ex went with me to the doctor and to the hospital with me, though we were separated. He also went with me to bury my mother. He was there for me, though we were separating.

We owe so much to our Veteran's, IMHO, the very least I can do is to learn their stories.

Music!

re: #207 laZardo Yep, Anger is definitely one of the stages and it's one of the stages that I don't think you ever go through, you - if you're lucky - simply manage to damp down the anger enough to be civil, at least, to other folks.

To write good satire you have to know whatever it is that you are making fun of. Conservatives know the left because we are surrounded by it in the media and schools. It's part of the air we breathe. The left can't make fun of us and be funny because they don't even know us. The best they can to is scoff at strawmen they have created in their minds.
Jeff Foxworthy is funny. Obama never could be.

If I see WrtierMom when she returns I'll ask her to e-mail him and see if he wants to chat or whatever, but I'm under no real illusions or "delusions of grandeur" - just unfortunately have a lot of experience in this area that might have been helpful to him.
Still and all with his series of comments, it was as if he was asking Charles to ban him and I certainly don't blame Charles for not putting up with personally insulting remarks.

Maybe Charles would let you use his magic email thingie to reach PBC. I think you could be just the friend he needs right now!

Hi Lizards,
Yesterday we had a thread about Marty Parrish, the guy who claimed to be a Southern Baptist minister and asked McCain about calling his wife a rude word. I wrote to his minister. Here is his response:

Marty Parrish was never ordained by any church as far as I know. His membership is in the church and when he was a teen-ager he made a committment to become a minister. After being away for many years, He recently returned for a few weeks, but has not been in the church for several months.The church at that time (more than 30 years ago) issued a liscense which is no more than an acknowledgement that he had made the committment to be a minister. he did not serve at any southern baptist church that I know of and is not nor has he ever been a minister at our church or any other at this time. He is not an active memberof FBC West Memphis. He is a very sick man. I regret what he said and that it has become news. I especially regret that he is claiming to be a member of the church. I am his pastor and I care for him, but he does not represent our church in any way. Ron Kirkland, Pastor

Interesting casting - brothers playing brothers - and as I said historically pretty accurate - and violent as all get out!

I remember seeing that at the time. I'll be honest - I thought it was boring. The brothers thing was interesting, though, and I did like the Carradines. It just had too many stars and not enough depth.

Interesting Web Site:

You enter your birthday and click Search, and it lists relatively famous people who died at or near your current age.

For example, when I enter my birthdate, I'm informed that, so far, I have lived 33 days longer than did Joseph McCarthy, and 16 days longer did than Vince Foster. If you try it, set the "Fame Level" selector to "Low".

358 zombie  Sat, May 3, 2008 10:35:53pm

This is just sad:

April 29 was "Beach Impeach V" day, the fifth "Beach Impach" event in San Francisco. However, turnout was so sparse (only 250 people showed up -- the worst attendance ever [even I didn't bother going]), that they had real problems filling up the proposed message "IMPEACH BOTH! !" with bodies.

So this was their solution: they had people fill in a few letters at a time, then have the helicopter take their picture, then all run over and fill in the next letters, repeat, etc., until they had aerial photos of each letter at least filled in at some point.

Then (as had been previously planned), they got a Photoshop jockey to piece together the various photos into a "composite" that made it look like all the letters were filled in at the same time. The final products can be viewed here:

Beach Impeach V composite photos

The have a "panorama view" and a "postcard view" with the same words, but in different configurations.

Now, they're not trying to pretend that the photos are real -- they're up-front about them being Photoshops -- but the funny part is how they had to scramble and use post-production digital manipulation to "salvage" the event and make it look like there is a huge pro-impeachment movement.

Totally, utterly pathetic. Even in moonbat world headquarters, they can't rustle up more than 250 Impeach-heads to come to the beach on a sunny Saturday. Attendance was less than 20% of the high-water mark of earlier Beach Impeach events.

Oh, how sad to be a moonbat in these waning days of relevance!

re: #298 hermeneutics

Hi Lizards,
Yesterday we had a thread about Marty Parrish, the guy who claimed to be a Southern Baptist minister and asked McCain about calling his wife a rude word. I wrote to his minister. Here is his response:

Marty Parrish was never ordained by any church as far as I know. His membership is in the church and when he was a teen-ager he made a committment to become a minister. After being away for many years, He recently returned for a few weeks, but has not been in the church for several months.The church at that time (more than 30 years ago) issued a liscense which is no more than an acknowledgement that he had made the committment to be a minister. he did not serve at any southern baptist church that I know of and is not nor has he ever been a minister at our church or any other at this time. He is not an active memberof FBC West Memphis. He is a very sick man. I regret what he said and that it has become news. I especially regret that he is claiming to be a member of the church. I am his pastor and I care for him, but he does not represent our church in any way. Ron Kirkland, Pastor

If you haven't seen it this is one of my favorite old westerns Angel and The Bad Man 1947.

They ran a lot of these flicks back when I was a teen on late night TV and on Saturdays, and I've seen a heck of a lot of John Wayne movies and John Ford movies. Don't remember ever being disappointed by either of them, alone or working together.

412 zombie  Sat, May 3, 2008 11:00:26pm

If we're talking about unforgettable horror films, the best, by far, is "Dead of Night." I have seen tens of thousand of films in my life, and that is the only film I ever gave a "ten out of ten" rating to. As close to being the "perfect" film as any in history.

Just the thought of it gives me chills. It is the prototype for much of what followed in the subsequent decades. HIGHLY recommended. But note: if you do watch it, make sure to watch from the VERY FIRST FRAME to the VERY LAST FRAME, because (as you will see) the whole film interlocks. Also, for the full effect: DO NOT READ SPOILERS ahead of time.

It has one minor flaw, the goofy humor of the "golf" sequence, featuring a pair of comic actors popular at the time. Aside from that -- wow. You will never forget it.

Easily the best horror film ever made. (And in some people's opinion, the best film of any kind ever made.)

I'm purposely not linking to online descriptions of it, because there are too many spoilers floating around. Just rent it: Dead of Night, made in 1945, in Britain.

I was wondering if anyone see parallels between Obamas claims of ignorance about the contents of 20 years of sermons of Reverend Wright and the Austrian, Fritzels incestuous relationship with his daughter over 24 years. Just as the Austrian, Fritzel locked away his aberrant perversity, has Obama done something similar? Oh yeah, one more thing, would the press care to take the trouble to look into Barack's over the past 20 years life just a teeny tiny bit, in between the time they devote to giving him a daily Lewinsky?

Interesting Web Site:

Who have you outlived?

You enter your birthday and click Search, and it lists relatively famous people who died at or near your current age.

For example, when I enter my birthdate, I'm informed that, so far, I have lived 33 days longer than did Joseph McCarthy, and 16 days longer did than Vince Foster. If you try it, set the "Fame Level" selector to "Low".

Hmmmm. I've outlived
Jack Ruby
Bill Haley

Yup.

But, considering that the full impeachment-and-conviction process takes a minimum of about six months per indictee, if they start today they'll finish impeaching Bush and Cheney about May of 2009, four months into McCain's first term.

John McCain is not part of the equation that I was referring to. What I am curious about is how far one can deviate from reality into a world of perversity and still claim ignorance and innocence. Wright as Fritzel and Obama as Fritizels wife and neighbors, however, Obama (and his wife) without an intervening dungeon.

If any of you have the slightest doubt as to the greatness of the film "Dead of Night," check out these comments from an online discussion about the movie:

------------------------------
------------------------------

this movie is purported to be the basis for the steady state theory of cosmology. i haven't seen it. does someone who has mind telling me what they make of it?
thanks

------------------------

Yes, this is where the idea for the steady state universe was concieved by hoyle, bondi and gold.
They had the idea of an evolving yet unchanging universe after watching the film, making them believe that although change goes on in the universe it always remains in the same state, same as the film which ends up just as it started.
This conflicts with the big bang theory, which gives a beginning and an end to the universe, the steady state says that the universe is infinite and always has been.

------------------------------
------------------------------

How many films have that kind of pedigree -- serving as the inspiration for the dominant theory of the universe!

Dead of Night is also acknowledged as the direct inspiration for The Twilight Zone, and all of The Twilight Zone's imitators.

No. The guy has just endorsed McCain. That's all.
There's no moral equivalence here, in any case.
Hagee is actually what the Obamites want us to believe Wright is, namely an ordinary Bible-based preacher who every once in a blue moon makes a socially unacceptable remark. (The favorite one they're trotting out is Hagee's association of the "whore of Babylon" of Revelation with the Catholic Church. Well, they've got to get the Catholic vote, you know!)
I'd say a far more accurate equivalence to Obama's black liberation church would be the Aryan "Chistian" Identity movement.

Oh. As a Catholic I find Hagee's exegesis obnoxious and theologically absurd, but it's not exactly weird. His interpretation dates backs to Luther.

Interesting Web Site:

Who have you outlived?

I have outlived Abu Musab al-Zarqawi! Then again, I don't have the United States military drawing crosshairs in infrared on my back.

Updates for anyone interested:

My friend with Creutzfeld-Jakob disease passed away Monday night. Her initial prognosis was 3-6 months, but the Lord in His mercy cut that in half. She now prays to Him in person for the congregation she helped found.

And my mother had the last procedure of her cancer treatment Thursday morning. After two and a half years of being cancer-free, her oncologist gave permission to remove the port used for blood draws and injections.

Because she wasn't able to complete the post-op chemo regimen due to an allergic reaction, she and her doctor(s) are keeping high vigiliance on her regular check-ups. But now that the port is out, Mom is actually allowing herself to feel optimistic about what the future holds, rather than "merely" philosophical.

Good grief, Z -- is there any weird underground-world I've ever told you about that you already were familiar with, in far greater detail, than I?

Sure! I mean, I generally keep my clothes on, after all...

To me, the "underground" scene is sort of like the "mainstream" is to most people. The world I dwell in might be called the "behind-the-scenes underground scene," or perhaps the "pre-underground."

I have about 14 different identities. "zombie" is just the tip of the iceberg.

I'm behind every curtain, creating the raw material that becomes American culture. Or at least creating the framework for it. A "hands-on cultural theorist," as it were.

There are deeper reasons why I need to remain anonymous. Threats from moonbats and Islamists are just a convenient excuse!

Though, not necessarily "undoubtedly." In about 11 of those identities, I'm still pretty anonymous and unknown, and don't interact much with my unwitting marionettes socially or in person at all. ANd even when I do, they don't know who I am.

My daughter is about 5 years older than her husband, and one son is about 9 years younger than his wife. And they have such happy marriages! If you are lucky enough to find the right one? Age really doesn't count.

Got to so to sleep for real..a load of cooking and the cake to bake. Daughter gave me the recipe a few years ago...not that many ingredients, but so rich that it tastes like it has a zillion callories..

I will post it:

Amazon Cake
From The New York Times
Adapted from Cafe Beaujolais by Margaret Fox and John S. Bear
serves 6 to 8

1 ½ cups flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa [I used Double-Dutch Dark, like Droste's]
1 t. baking soda
1 cup sugar
½ t. salt
5 T. corn oil [I used canola]
1 ½t. vanilla
1 T. cider vinegar
Confectioners’ sugar.

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, sugar and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, vanilla and vinegar with 1 cup cold water. Whisk in the dry ingredients, blending until completely lump-free. Pour into a greased 9-inch round cake pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top springs back when pressed gently. Cool before removing from the pan and dusting with confectioners’ sugar, or frosting if desired.

Enjoy! It is pareve (neutral) and vegan...

We observe kashrut, so this cake is perfect! It can be 1 layer or two.

re: #575 DesertSage

Those were spiked? I just made myself a fruit salad.

Got the trunk mounted to the scoot today - a little too cold to ride. Might hit 65 tomorrow, though. I found it was a little too full of engine oil, so I drained a bit. Tomorrow I'll tighten up the play in the front brakes, then I think I'll take a longer ride in the afternoon.

re: #578 Noam Sayin'

Remember to put heavier oil in for summertime. You should change the oil several times in the first couple thousand miles anyhow to break it in properly.

Then get knobby tires on it and we can go riding.

Queue Forms in Dhahran for US Visas

Yesterday, the US Consulate in Dhahran held the official opening of full non-immigrant visa services.....
[...]
Prince Fahd noted that the visa service, for citizens and residents of the Kingdom, is a sign that the relationship between Saudi Arabia and the US is “growing stronger every day.”

Back in February, US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Ford M. Fraker had announced the commencement of visa services in Dhahran. He was on hand for the official opening.

“I’m confident this will increase business and tourism and help ordinary Saudis, especially students, to experience the United States and strengthen the already close ties between our two countries,”.....

Last year the US Embassy issued more than 30,000 visas in Saudi Arabia.

Fraker remarked that the processing time for visas has shortened and the visa issuance process has improved. Despite just opening visa services in Dhahran, the waiting time for a visa appointment in Dhahran is already at least 90 days — although emergency appointments may be granted if requested.[...]

Currently there is increased tension in the Kingdom concerning the issuance of visas to the US, due to statements made by the leader of the US Congressional Anti-Terrorism Caucus, Representative Sue Myrick, a Republican from North Carolina. Myrick wants the US Congress to cancel the scholarship student visa program with Saudi Arabia until there is further reform of Saudi schoolbooks.

Absolutely friggin dandy....

That's correct.
It's a two-edged war. One with the government and -the worst one, the blodiest one for years now- against each other.
Drug dealers killing drug dealers by the thousands a year now.
85% of all those dead in the drug war are dealers.
A very weird situation.

So it's not much of an insurgency, rather; an all-out war between warrying factions disputing the control of traffic.
There most be LOTS of money involved in that business.

it's saving graces are that 1: it has alcohol and 2: that it's safer to drink then the water if you decide for some reason to visit Mexico.

So you don't like light beers, that's fine. I enjoy Pacifico on hot days when you just want to relax and cool off. Heavy beers like Negra Modelo (and even Dos Equis) are much better for a dinner or something, in my opinion.

re: #667 Fenway_Nation

Also...no disrespect to the deceased intended, Miguel...but is it possible that some of the high-ranking police officials in Baja (and elsewhere) who were killed over these past few months were killed by one cartel because they were on the payroll of/acting in the interests of another cartel or because they were going after them too vigorously?

/Not sure how it is further into the interior of Mexico, but police corruption in Baja is well-known on both sides of the border and is sort of viewed with a wink & a nudge


I dare say, not going out on a limb that perhaps half of all the low-enforcement men killed my dealers were themselves engaged in those activities.
Too much money involved.
Any small Joe gets 20k dollars a month, for instance. You find quite a few that would take it, without even looking at possible consecuences.

There are true law-enforcers out there, some of them very good. And some of them have been killed too. Today a high official in the Federal Polica was killed in Mexico City and Tony Garza, the American embassador issued a public eulogy of him, telling what a great man ana a policeman he was. Pretty amazing, actually.

That sounds about right. He sounded awful and when I asked him why he sounds all blocked, he said that he had trouble breathing on the way home from synagogue (had to stop every three steps to use his inhaler) and that he would call his doctor tomorrow because he has no anti-histamines in the house (you would think that after so many years of having allergies, he would be prepared when the season comes... you would be wrong...).

Muslims consider dogs 'unclean', correct?

Does this mean that police, fire and rescue teams in Islamic nations can't or won't use K9s for attack, narcotic detection or search & rescue? Or do some areas realize the value of using K9s despite being considered 'unclean'?

New moonbat lexicon of the day: Wheatpasting.

Wheatpaste (also known as potato paste, flour paste, rice paste, Marxist glue, or simply paste) is a liquid adhesive used since ancient times for various arts and crafts such as book binding, decoupage, collage, and papier-mâché. It is also made for the purpose of adhering paper posters to walls and other surfaces (often in graffiti). Closely resembling wallpaper paste, it is made by mixing roughly equal portions of flour and water

so THATS how they do it...

Well ok, if that's the way the Iranians feel we've pretty much had a Strategic Collapse in the War on Terror at any rate. It'll be up to the next President - Obama/Hillary unless one or both can somehow manage to really fck-up worse than the GoP - to completely shut-down the War, return our troops home, surrender our sovereignty to the UN, collapse the economy and ensure the US is turned into a third world sheet-hole.

Iran won't talk to U.S. on Iraq till attacks stop: report

Well ok, if that's the way the Iranians feel we've pretty much had a Strategic Collapse in the War on Terror at any rate. It'll be up to the next President - Obama/Hillary unless one or both can somehow manage to really fck-up worse than the GoP - to completely shut-down the War, return our troops home, surrender our sovereignty to the UN, collapse the economy and ensure the US is turned into a third world sheet-hole.

Hell, with The Times reporting the, United States is drawing up plans to strike on Iranian insurgency camp, the wailing of our Democrat's this week might just get the ball moving earlier than January 21, 2009.

My Boston buddy, Hillel Stavis wrote this scathing indictment of Moonbats run amok in Cambridge, Massachusetts with a Peace Commission visit to the Palestinian territories. From reading his American Thinker piece, you’d think that Cambridge was located in the heart of “Hamasachusetts”, as he wrote me in an email. Actually, it’s more like ‘dhimmiville” in the Commonwealth. Apparently, the Cambridge city fathers bereft over evident American post-colonialism in the world sent the Peace Commission “slouching towards Bethlehem” last year to make common cause with their Islamist overseers.

Stavis notes:


The not-so-wide-ranging Peace Commission routinely hosts Arab and Muslim speakers who have extolled the “golden era” in Iraq under the communist period (1957-1963) and who attribute honor killings of Iraqi women to the U.S. occupation!

The religion of no remorse.......

A MAN jailed for kidnapping a single mother and setting her on fire triggered a $30,000 tribunal hearing during the week - effectively to argue about $1.20 in lost pay.

Loddon prison inmate Hasan Huseyin Alipek sought the VCAT hearing over claims he was denied a jail factory leading hand job because of his poor English skills.

Serial litigant Alipek said the alleged discrimination had financially disadvantaged him and made him wonder if there was something wrong with him.

He asked tribunal deputy president Cate McKenzie during the three-day hearing to reduce his prison sentence as compensation.

A prison guard told the tribunal she had not even considered Alipek for the job and his language skills had nothing to do with the decision.

The job was given to a prisoner who had been longer at the factory than Alipek, the guard said.

The tribunal also heard Alipek assaulted another inmate soon after missing out on the job and would have been ineligible for promotion.

The Afghan kidnapper who took two German engineers hostage (more...) has admitted for the first time that his men shot and killed Rüdiger Diedrich, who had been sick with heart disease, during a march into the mountains last summer.

Nissam Udin, the head of the band of criminals that kidnapped the men, described the killing of the German as the product of a misunderstanding. “He collapsed every time he walked for 10 minutes. We didn’t understand his situation,” Nissam said in an interview with SPIEGEL. Two of his fighters, he said, “two inexperienced friends,” misunderstood Diedrich, who he claims spoke several times of his suffering. “Our friends thought he was begging them to ‘shoot me,’ ‘shoot me’.”

Nissam, known in Afghanistan as Mullah Nissam, described himself as a member of the Taliban. “We want to eliminate the infidels,” he said, “first the Afghan infidels and then the foreign infidels -- until they leave our country.”

Hang on to your coffee cups.

And Gird yer loins, it's comin' down fast.

"Transgender Student " is age 9


For school officials in Haverford Township, the challenge was daunting: What do you do when a 9-year-old student, with the full support of his parents, decides that he is no longer a boy and instead is a girl?

Parents of a third-grade student at Chatham Park Elementary School approached the administration on April 16 to ask for help in making a "social transition" for their child.

The Haverford School District consulted experts on transgender children, then sent letters to parents advising them that the guidance counselor would meet with the school's 100 third-grade students to explain why their classmate would now wear girls' clothes and be called by a girl's name.

Some parents objected. Eight called the principal to ask that their child not attend the session, and some posted angry messages on the Haverford Township blog.

"Why is the school introducing this subject to 8- and 9-year-olds?" wrote the parent who started the blog thread, which had been viewed more than 3,000 times as of yesterday. "Why were we not notified sooner. We received the letter today, the discussion at school is tomorrow."

Other parents thought the school should not have called attention to an already delicate situation.

"I did not think that the letter needed to go out," said Valerie Huff, whose daughter is friends with the transgender student. "The kids don't make any big deal about it at all."

Mary Beth Lauer, district director of community relations, said there were no easy answers for school officials.

"This is something that was going to come out," Lauer said. "Isn't it better to be proactive, and let people know what is happening and how we're dealing with it?"

The student has not received medical treatments to change his sex, but has told others that he considers himself a girl, according to several people who know the family.

Oh yeah, in some places down in Masshole they are introducing this crap in Kindergarten! One father in ?Lexington was permanently banned from school property because he challenged the school on a book bag of crap they sent home with the kiddo to indoctrinate him into the whole multiple mommies or daddies mess. Which meant that not only could he not attend the kid's school play or parent-teacher conference, he also could not vote, because the polling places are all on school property.

I don't recall him actually going to jail, though they did try to send him there. As I recall they ended up lowering the charges to something like trespass. Still. What I don't understand is why the kid continued in public school. If you live in Lexington you can afford private school. And there is always home schooling. An option that apparently has become rather popular among MIT grads who wish their children to be able to read and add.

Our friends...

The United States threatened to use force against Saudi Arabia in 1973 after King Faisal, along with other Arab leaders, imposed an oil embargo on countries that supported Israel during the October War, Prince Turki Al-Faisal, former intelligence chief and ambassador to Washington, said in an interview with Asharq Al-Awsat yesterday.

In the interview, that appeared ahead of a scientific seminar on King Faisal to be opened by Riyadh Gov. Prince Salman on Tuesday, Prince Turki shed light on important events that took place during his father’s rule.

Prince Turki, who was an adviser at the Royal Court in 1973 when King Faisal took the oil-embargo decision, said the king was not shaken by the US threat and stood firm.

He added that the oil embargo was instrumental in encouraging the US to find a quick and just solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. “King Faisal and other Arab leaders were forced to take the decision as a result of America’s unprecedented support for Israel during the war,” the prince said.

Yes. And yes.
Although the Britts gave us a nice surprise recently, ousting a whole bunch of socialists from power.

/Perhaps clinging to hope here.

I'm not sure it is not altogether too late in Britain, no matter how many socialists they oust. The bbc roams the country hunting "illegal" TVs, every square inch of the nation is on video camera, and parental rights have been nearly entirely disbanded.

Wanna hear a joke?....are you ready to laugh?....

RIYADH, 4 May 2008 — Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah yesterday received the Abubaker Siddique Medallion of the First Order from the Arab Organization for Red Crescent and Red Cross. The award was given in appreciation of the king's humanitarian endeavors.

King Abdullah gave thanks for the award and said, as a Muslim and a human being, he has been involved in humanitarian activities. He wished the organization and its officials every success in their efforts.

re: #843 BabbaZee

Anyone know where / why this happened?

I was around for the comments that he made. Left in disgust at a few who were knocking him big time before Charles took the stick to him. Last night - 8 or 9 our time. His comments were a bit rude but I've seen (and probably said) worse, though they were directed at Charles.

Some people just weren't in to making ANY allowances for him though. "No Excuses." As far as I'm concerned, just a few more of the no tolerance crowd pretending to be "conservative." No empathy for sure. But, what goes comes, so I'm sure they are on the waiting list.

The kiddo (11) and I went down to the supermarket a couple of days back and as we were waiting to turn into the plaza an individual with a gray beard, a black bandana tied round his head under a straw cowboy hat sporting a very large pink flower, Timberland boots (they look something like modern desert combat boots) and a full length sundress crossed directly in front of us. We were both stupefied. Luckily she asked me no questions.

Three days with no sleep, sister* probably has lymphoma (he is paying for her to come to the States Monday), fight with girlfriend. . . . . . you do the math.

*Has already lost a chunk of his family to cancer, including his brother.

At about that same age (11) my older brother asked my mother what a Prostitute was. She explained as best she could. He than said the sign at the grocery store said "We Prosecute Shoplifters". Too much info for him and for that moment before corrected really scary punishment for shoplifting.

Give yourself a few years, go through a few more of life's kicks right straight to your kisser, and you'll have a little understanding. Every person's reaction to this kind of stress is different. And women handle this kind of stress and emergency far, far better than most men do.

Look at it like going two days without food and then having a few drinks at a party.

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) - A common illness that typically causes little more than a fever and rash has killed 24 children in China, and health officials fear the worst may be yet to come as outbreaks occur in neighboring countries.
China's Health Ministry issued a nationwide alert over the weekend after the enterovirus 71 virus, or EV-71, which causes hand, foot and mouth disease, infected more than 4,500 children in central Anhui province.

The outbreak is centered around Fuyang city, where 22 deaths have occurred. On Sunday, the official Xinhua News Agency said the virus had claimed the lives of two more children in southern Guangdong province.

"That's an extraordinarily high case fatality rate, and that's what caught our attention," said Peter Cordingley, spokesman for the World Health Organization's regional Western Pacific office. "Otherwise, it would have passed under the radar."
