Morning Lizards!

TGIF, by the way.

{rightside}

May is going by too fast--would someone please add an extra week?

And a good morning to you, Rightside. Are you getting up, or are you like me trying to decide if you're ready to go to bed?

I wonder what Oscar would've said about computers.

Good morning, everybody. History exam Monday, Latin exams Wednesday--I smell summer!

re: #4 rabidfox

I wake up automatically at 5am, a product of 20 years in the Navy. Now if I could only get to bed earlier! LOL

I wish. My son is graduating from high school (homeschool) a week from Friday (today). :) Having a nice graduation ceremony with the other homeschoolers from around town, it's going to be good.

Ah, I see. Surprisingly, I had no problem what so ever giving in to my owlishnish when I retired. Never really liked wasting a large part of the day on mornings. And it's raining. Think I'll hit the sack now. Have a good day y'all.

Hmmm, Bet Michelle thinks that, "This is not good for my kids."
But you know the Bush twins loved to hear their father refered to as a 'War Criminal."

re: #25 rightside

Very cool! :) Now, a question from a civilian with no Military knowledge whatsoever... what's your avatar mean?

re: #27 gop_patriot

Thats the rank/rating badge I wore before retiring. It's the enlisted rank of E6, or First Class Petty Officer.

New message from Bin Laden. He wants Jihad! Who knew?
He said that "We will not give up an inch of Palestine as long as a true Muslim lives" I don't know if he formally endorsed Barry, but I think that he requeted a new yard sign.

Hello gop_patriot.

Saved that to my "music" playlist on YouTube. I am out of beer, and finally ready to sleep, I think. It's going to be one of those days, getting by on 2 hours of sleep is no fun. LOL

There was the usual stuff about Muslim duty to wage Jihad ( I don't think that he meant Peaceful inner struggle)
What is new is that he is now saying that the principal reason for Jihad is Palestine

. It used to be the Great Satan & infedels in Saudi Arabia.

Look at they way this AP story starts out. The arrogance of this "reporter." And this is what passes for news writing.

By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer 52 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Sorry, Sen. Clinton. Michigan and Florida can't save your campaign. Interviews with those considering how to handle the two states' banished convention delegates found little interest in the former first lady's best-case scenario.

Going to brew coffee. Y'all have a great day!

GoodMorning Lizards :)

re: #45 opnion

Ah, just one of the tapes he made right before he fell out, probably. IF he was still alive, he'd make a tape and hold up a New York Times or something.

But he won't, he's dead. Gone. Crawled up the curtain and joined the Choir Invisible. He's a Late Terrorist.

re: #16 opnion

Good Morning Lizards. Is Barry still in a snit?

Nope. He's back to thinking he's invincible, with lots of help from the MSM.

Obama warns Republicans about critical ads

"The same kinds of tactics that the Republican Party has been employing over the last several election cycles just aren't going to work this time," he told reporters on his charter plane after receiving former rival John Edwards' endorsement Wednesday. "I mean, they did everything they could, right? They ran Wright. They ran Obama. In Louisiana, they ran Pelosi. The same way that in previous election cycles they had run Hillary or other folks they thought would scare off voters. It didn't work."

Did anyone else catch the first 15 extraordinary minutes of Morning Joe on MSNBC? I know, it's MSNBC, but still-you had to see it-completely unmasked of objectivity and balance to such a degree that even I was shocked. Mika B., the straight(cough)newsreader giddily described Biden's profanity laced rant against Bush as 'fantastic'. Schuster, supposedly(cough)the straight reporter ranted-no other word to describe it-that Bush's statement was 'grotesque' and 'idiotic.'

Seriously, that's my home state, and my sister went to UTK. Rather, my dad's money went to UTK while my sister partied with her sorority. When I was growing up, I knew that I could get just about anything from my dad if UTK won. If they lost, I knew to keep my head down.

Fatwa goin' be coming. A spokeman for the Asia-Pacific Institute on the radio this morning said that one of the problems with the Bin laden tapes is that no Moslem/Arab will come out and speak against what he says. I think the spokesman probably wasn't Arab/muslim.

Exactly. When they said that the remarks "implied" Obama, the first two words out of my mouth were "No shit!"

Oh my I did sleep in this morning, didn't I? How's everyone?

I am still laughing about Pres. Bush's speech yesterday about the Senator in 1939 who thought he could have "talked to Hitler" and stopped the war. Bush never mentioned Obama, but he swallowed the bait hook line and sinker, and then he and his troops spent all day trying to spit it back up.

All the conservative writers had to do was sit back and ask why he thought the shoe fit.

In the "The European Union Is A Totalitarian Nightmare" dept.

"In December 2003, Jacques Chirac proposed a pact between himself, Blair and the German Chancellor, Gerhard Schröder, under which all three would agree not to hold a referendum on the EU's constitutional treaty when it was finally agreed. Schröder said this would be no problem for him since the German constitution made no provision for referenda. Tony Blair said that he had absolutely no intention of holding a referendum. True, Foreign Secretary Jack Straw had been arguing for one for months but, each time he raised the issue, Blair resisted the idea."

Vunderbar...Iran Presents Package of Proposals Demands

Iran’s package of proposals has been presented to four international personalities, said head of media affairs of the Supreme National Security Council, Ahmad Khademolmelleh, on Wednesday.

Ali Asghar Khaji, Iran’s ambassador to the European Union, presented the new package of proposals on Tuesday to solve the world’s “collective challenges“, including the country’s nuclear case, a statement said.

Khaji gave the package to EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana during talks on Tuesday, the embassy statement said.
The proposals contained “the country’s viewpoint on global challenges regarding political, security, economic and energy issues, and the issue of the peaceful use of nuclear energy{Along with Iran's inalienable right to rule and kill infidels or joooo's completely without oversight or recrimination.}“, he said.

This oughta be a 'done deal' pretty damned quick.

re: #117 wahabicorridor

morning lizards. WTF is up with that Carnegie Mellon thing? Did anyone figure it out.

Looking at it now with some assistance from my kid the programmer/dbase specialist. What it is is a mathematical comparison of post similarity. Why it is is a different question.

Charles did not go up far enough in the directory. Taey (the ?student user to whom this directory belongs) is a graduate research assistant at Carnegie Mellon. He was also scooping stuff off of DKos. He has published at least one paper on political discourse analysis and is apparently working on another - using LGF.

re: #113 laZardo,

What's even better is that their hyperventilating about the comment shows they think of themselves as appeasers. They just don't want mean Republicans (or, for that matter, mean Americans) saying bad things about appeasers.

The Donks would have been smarter to simply ignore the comment. If anyone had asked them about it (they wouldn't have), simply answer "Who me? I'm not an appeaser." But that requires a little too much thought.

Morning. Typing one handed--cat is on the other arm!

I had to post this because it really "got my goat."

SYRIA AND THE 1948 WAR IN PALESTINE by Joshua Landis, University of Oklahoma.

I haven't read the whole thing but in the second paragraph, there's an obvious paradox:

First, the Arab people considered the partition plan to be highway robbery; it gave over 50 percent of Palestine to the Jews, although they constituted but a third of the population...We now know that early military assessments by the Arab League and individual states of their ability to defeat Zionist forces in the impending conflict were unanimous in warning of the superiority of the Zionist military, which outnumbered the Arab forces at every stage of the war.

So, a third of the population of Palestine had an army that outnumbered that of all the surrounding countries? Does this guy even read what he's regurgitating?

There's a revealing article on Mr. Landis at Dhimmi Watch.

re: #55 MandyManners

How can his jihadis fabricate it? And, if it is fabricated, why haven't our experts told us that? What good does it do for the truth to not be told?

They don't have to fabricate it; it could very easily be a tape bin Laden recorded several years ago unless there's anything specific in the tape to indicate otherwise.

Here is the Wilson Towercam; the light from the east increases over the San Gabriel Mountains.

And here is Saint Patrick's morning prayer:

Saint Patrick’s Breastplate:

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through the belief in the threeness,
Through confession of the oneness
Of the Creator of Creation.

I arise today
Through the strength of Christ's birth with his baptism,
Through the strength of his crucifixion with his burial,
Through the strength of his resurrection with his ascension,
Through the strength of his descent for the judgment of Doom.

I arise today
Through the strength of the love of Cherubim,
In obedience of angels,
In the service of archangels,
In hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In prayers of patriarchs,
In predictions of prophets,
In preaching of apostles,
In faith of confessors,
In innocence of holy virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.

I arise today
Through the strength of heaven:
Light of sun,
Radiance of moon,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of wind,
Depth of sea,
Stability of earth,
Firmness of rock.

I arise today
Through God's strength to pilot me:
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's host to save me
From snares of devils,
From temptations of vices,
From everyone who shall wish me ill,
Afar and anear,
Alone and in multitude.

I summon today all these powers between me and those evils,
Against every cruel merciless power that may oppose my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of pagandom
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of witches and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.
Christ to shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that there may come to me abundance of reward.

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the threeness,
Through confession of the oneness,
Of the Creator of Creation.

So BinLaden has his new message out. Yea right. He says their whole fight is about freeing Israel, and that thats why 9/11 happened. What happened to U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia? His message constantly changes, now hes on the Nabka bandwagon? Classic...

US-Saudi oil axis faces day of truth

When President George Bush went to see Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah in January to plead for higher oil output, he was politely rebuffed.
[here the Telegraph inserts the sword picture...
"President Bush shares a laugh with Saudi Prince Salman, brother of Saudi King Abdullah"]
The rematch today is likely to be a great deal more strained.

If the Saudis deny help once again, they risk incalculable damage to their strategic alliance with Washington. The price of crude has rocketed by over $30 a barrel since that last fruitless meeting, briefly touching the once unthinkable level of $127.
[...]
The Saudis have let their output fall from 9.5m to 8.5m bpd over the last two years, camouflaging the move behind the accession of Ecuador and Angola to the group (which boosted nominal supply). OPEC failed to compensate for a 330,000 bpd drop in Nigerian production in April, allowing the market to tighten further.
[...]

FWIW, Iran has plenty of very low quality oil readily available (supposedly 20million barrels loaded into super-tankers right now, ready to ship) but no buyers.

Why don't the Arabs start programs/training for the Palis- why don't they give them money? I remember my grandparents - very poor immigrants with many kids- who gave tzedakah(charity) to support Israel and the Jews building the country. As a child, we collected 3 days a week in Hebrew school for the same thing.

All of the Arab countries have kept the "palestinians" poor, homeless and in "refugee camps" for more than 50 years deliberately. Even in the most "liberal" of them, "palestinians" are not allowed to become citizens, work at many jobs or even hold a passport.

Every other major group of refugees the world has known in this time has within a few years been settled elsewhere in their entirety, but the UNHCR does everything possible to keep this one particular group of refugees as refugees.

But then, to do otherwise leaves them with no argument about Israel's right to exist.

re: #135 slartybartfast

So, a third of the population of Palestine had an army that outnumbered that of all the surrounding countries? Does this guy even read what he's regurgitating?

I have not heard that. Maybe if you consider that almost every Jew over ten, both women and men, were soldiers and that most of the Arabs in Palestine were not. A mob with guns does not constitute an army. Also many Jews served in WWII, few Arabs did. Some of the neighboring Arab armies were little better, and the Arab Liberation Army was just a bunch of paid goons from various Arab capitals. Given all that the Arabs were outmatched but still not outnumbered. I think Landis, who I do read occasionally because he knows the area and the major players, is rellying on historian Benny Morris who is considered a bit of a Arab sympathizer. Morris wrote "all observers—Jewish, British, Palestinian Arab, and external Arab—agreed on the eve of the war that the Palestinians were incapable of beating the Zionists or of withstanding Zionist assault. The Palestinians were simply too weak." Which turned out to be true.

That was a brief, one-shouldered man-hug, BTW.

I've added you to my "Enemies" list so you can feel wanted.

It's only slightly less well-known than my "Groceries" list, however.

OT - Daughter just found Obama's official voting record for the last year and is massaging the data. I'll be posting it soon. Contains a few shockers I hear as she is hopping mad.

Obama's Secret Code ™

It's just dawned on me that Obama is not an empty vessel at all.

He is a master manipulator. He speaks in secret code to each group.

Blacks
Cinque Henderson at TNR cracked the black code
When Obama's candicacy was in jeopardy in SC, he gave speeches across the state that warned against being "hoodwinked" and "bamboozled" by the Clintons. His use of the phrase is resonant. It comes from a scene in Malcolm X, where Denzel Washington warns black people about the hidden evils of "the White Man" masquerading as a smiling politician: "Every election year, these politicians are sent up here to pacify us," he says. "You've been hoodwinked. Bamboozled."

Muslims
In an interview with the New York Times in 2007, Barak Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth."
He recited, "with a first-rate [Arabic] accent," the opening lines of this prayer: "Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! I witness that there is no god but Allah. I witness that there is no god but Allah. I witness that Muhammad is his prophet... "
According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada (the first 5 lines of the Adhan), the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim.

Christians
Obama says he is a Christian, that he has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, that he reads the Bible regularly and prays constantly.
(Of course, he has not been Baptised and his KY pamphlets state that he walked the aisle on his first visit to a Christian church)

Atheists
When asked "Are you an evangelical?" , he states "Gosh, I'm not sure if labels are helpful here because the definition of an evangelical is so loose and subject to so many different interpretations. I came to Christianity through the black church tradition where the line between evangelical and non-evangelical is completely blurred. Nobody knows exactly what it means.

White Liberals
Hope. Change. Post-racial.

Enough time for two hearty waffle breakasts.

Guess what, there was no Holocaust, at least according to the Arab News.

"Western countries have been using force to stifle any attempt to highlight the errors in the Zionist claims about the number of Holocaust victims. For instance, Douglas Reed, a leading British journalist of the World War II, raised in his book “Far & Wide” published in the United States in 1947, some doubts about the claim that six million Jews were killed in the Holocaust. In the course of his journalistic studies Reed found that in 1938 the Jewish population in the world stood at 11 million. On the other hand, the UN population studies showed that the number of Jews in 1947, after the WW II and the Holocaust, was 11 million. The study also said that increase in the Jewish population over the intervening decade could not have been more than 400,000 even if the annual population growth rate was about 4 percent.

Then the total number of the deaths would be roughly 400,000 or a little over in the decade in which the Holocaust and massacres of Jews took place.

Jews have always supported each other, it was absolutely required to survive. In Arab culture it’s “I against my brother; I and my brother against my cousin; I and my brother and my cousin against the world”.

So long as the Arabs fight tribe against tribe, so long will they be a little people, a silly people - greedy, barbarous, and cruel, as you are.

He has a recorded Novote (as in not Nay,he either was not present at all or voted "present") more than 100 times!

Greets and saluts this soggy Friday AM in NYC metro area. NYS has passed a noose display crime law, making it a felony to display a noose on property without permission of property owner. That was in response to last year's spate of incidents, including one at Columbia University under suspicious circumstances.

While I'm on the subject of NYS laws and policy, NYS is also looking to kill 'net centric companies who conduct Internet sales here - even if they don't have sufficient links to the state. They're looking to grab sales tax revenues from Internet sales, and thus far Amazon.com is suing the state, but Overstock has dropped 3,400 affiliates in NYS rather than sue. How many of those businesses- large and small, will see revenues shrink, cause job losses, and cause corporate, personal, sales tax revenues to drop beyond the paltry $50 million the state hoped to gain. Indeed, the state will never ever ever consider spending cuts to control costs. Even when the state proposes spending cuts, it's still increases when you note that the budget increases every year - often greater than the rate of inflation.

And then in an even more brief war - six days in fact - defeated those same armies in 1967 and captured more than double the territory that already made up Israel.

Then in 1973, after getting attacking on the Holiest day of the Jewish calendar - Yom Kippur, and suffering serious setbacks early on, roundly defeated the Syrians and Egyptians again, and was in a position to buzz both Damascus and Cairo with impunity until the USSR stepped in to avoid another completely disastrous defeat for its clients, and the US pressured Israel to stop.

Them that Are Sucpetible to Diplomacy

President Obama goes to Tehran and says "You had me at 'screw you!'" The Mullahs coax him to wear his new gift: a diamond studded, red, white and red "Death to America" lapel pin. Does he refuse to wear it because of the empty symbolism involved? Or does he put it on in the furtherance of world peace, the way he would wear any other bit of native costume? He'll offer them the Zero option. We'll give up our 12,000 nukes if they give up their -- how many they got anyways? They will consider this if we give up our missile defense as a sign of good faith. He'll say, too late, already done that. What else can we do to show our good faith? They'll say, give us time to think. We'll make a list. He'll say, can I make suggestions? And he'll think, these guys are easier to talk to than auto executives.
