The Return of the Incredibly Strange Palestinian Police Cadets With Substandard Pants

Thu, May 29, 2008 at 3:05:20 pm PDT

As part of the ludicrous attempt to convince the world that the Fatah government of Mahmoud Abbas is “moderate” and working against terrorism, the wire services periodically release photographs of Palestinian police in training, and we’re all supposed to marvel at their prowess at martial arts and jumping through flaming hoops.

But this one is today’s photo of the day. I hope their training includes remedial sewing.

(Hat tip: Soccer Dad.)

I find it odd the t-shirts say POLICE. One would think it would be in Arabic.

I smell set-up.

Don't use "smell" in regards to that photograph. Please.

So anyway:

On Old Earth, societies arose in which the ruling elite forbade their lower classes the right to carry weapons. Those that did not tended to acquire new rulers, usually from among the lower classes. As these lower classes often found themselves in situations where having a weapon would be A Good Thing, combat systems were developed that required either no weapons at all, or utilized “harmless” objects such as farming equipment. This worked surprisingly well. In addition, it was discovered that practitioners could develop an enhanced mental state which vastly increased the effectiveness of the fighter, as well as making him an over-all better person. (At least in his own mind.)

Perhaps the most versatile system on Old Earth was that of ninjustu, which was developed for military spies in feudal Japan and, aside from the more general lessons in archery, swordsmanship, unarmed combat, the use of artillery and firearms and swimming in armor, also included training in disguise, escape, concealment, geography, meteorology, medicine, explosives, and avoiding rust.

One of the more amazing discoveries made by galactic sociologists is that almost everyone has Ninja.

The Prime Movers have admitted that this is one subject that utterly baffles them, and as a result, they do not discuss it.

There are billions of different planets, some with hundreds of different sentient races engaged in almost a trillion different types of society, and almost all of them have produced a form of warrior that is easily recognized as one fitting the “Ninja Template.”

Many of these races cannot see eye to eye (literally) on the definition of such basic concepts as Food, Shelter, Sex and Memory, but they all have Ninja.

So these Palis don't really qualify.

Dear Rosie,
Right now I'm watching footage of a condo fire just outside of Boston Mass. The entire structure seems to be ablaze, yet I don;t seem to see any STEELE. I'm positive that durable goods (i.e. appliances, various furniture, fixtures) have STEELE components, yet I see non unscathed! Do you think the STEELE may have, dare I say, MELTED !?!?!?!

Hightower: "Yeah, i know. Or due process , or innocent until proven guilty....

Officer Zed: "uhhhrarrrrr! Or, or, or uh... how to be a F*%&*-ing Human Being! I worked so hard on the lecture, too!"
