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.

90 abolitionist  5/03/08 8:59:36 pm reply quote

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.)
