The fanatic is incorruptible: if he kills for an idea, he can just as well get himself killed for one; in either case, tyrant or martyr, he is a monster.

Hackers break into Hamas website

A ring-wing Israeli group hacked into websites of organizations and activist groups Thursday, including those of the armed wing of Hamas, Izzadin Kassam, and left-wing Israeli organizations. The group of hackers, calling themselves the 'Extremist Zealots,' boasted that they had broken into numerous sites.

Izzadin Kassam's site displayed a blank white screen and Hebrew text notifying of a technical error.

The websites of Arab Israeli political party Balad, and left-wing activist groups 'Hagada Hasmolanit' and 'Occupation' featured a black background with an Israeli flag, and the emblem of the 'Extremist Zealots' group, similar to that of Meir Kahane's Kach movement.

CHARLIE DANIELS ON OBAMA

Guns and Church

Since I identify with the people who fall into Barrack Obama's elitist description about people of faith who keep firearms I'm not very happy with Barrack Obama's recent remarks.

He said something to the effect that us rednecks cling to our guns and our religion when we get frustrated and I would like to take umbrage to these remarks. My faith goes much deeper than his superficial explanation and I love my guns even when I'm not frustrated.

And I am not by myself. I was going to church and shooting guns before Mr. Obama was even born and come from a long line of good people who have been doing it for generations.

To me this latest Obama blunder only helps reveal the depth of condescension the far left wing of the Democrat party has for the folks out here in flyover country.

Mr. Obama's remarks are insulting to a lot of folks. It's kind of like Abraham Lincoln said, 'God must love the common people because he made so many of them'.

His remarks make me think that Obama doesn't know the people of this country very well. I'm sure he knows the jet set and the Hollywood bunch, the limousine liberals and the save the whales, kill the babies crowd, but does he think that the ordinary people don't count? Does he think that they're so stupid that they don't know who he's talking about when he says these things? Does he think their opinions aren't important? Apparently.

How can a man stand in front of America and tell people what he wants to do for them and have so little respect for a whole segment of the population. In fact, a very large segment. Does that mean that he would only represent the high-minded liberal ideals of the far left and ignore the rest of us?

What kind of Commander and Chief would he make if he doesn't respect the very people who make up the lion's share of the armed forces.

You may say I'm over reacting, but I'm getting sick and tired of him making these elitist statements and saying that he had been taken out of context or some other flimsy excuse.

After his wife's remark about not being proud of this country and his pastor's statements calling America the U.S.K.K.K.A. and his own statement about not wanting his daughter punished with a baby, it makes me wonder what kind of a man Obama really is and what kind of a president he'd make.

Would he be an antigun advocate pushing the effort to take the firearms out of innocent citizen's hands? Would he not respect the religious beliefs of America, not taking them into account in his agenda?

I really don't know much about the man and neither does America. He basically came from out of nowhere and as the facts come out little by little, they don't make a particularly confident picture.

I have a great fear that if our military gets broken by another president, this time we're not going to have time to fix it again and what that spells for America, I don't even want to contemplate.

Oh well, I guess I'll grab my gun and go to church.

Pray for our troops.

A woman goes to her boyfriend's parents' house for dinner. This is to be her first time meeting the family and she is very nervous.

They all sit down and begin eating a fine meal. The woman is beginning to feel a little discomfort, thanks to her nervousness and the broccoli casserole. The gas pains are almost making her eyes water. Left with no other choice, she decides to relieve herself a bit and lets out a dainty little fart.

It wasn't loud, but everyone at the table heard the poot. Before she even had a chance to be embarrassed, her boyfriend's father looked over at the dog that had been snoozing at the women's feet, and said in a rather stern voice, "Ginger!" The woman thought, "this is great!" and a big smile came across her face.

A couple minutes later, she was beginning to feel the pain again. This time, she didn't even hesitate. She let a much louder and longer fart rip. The father again looked at the dog and yelled, "dammit Ginger!" Once again the woman smiled and thought, "yes!"

A few minutes later the woman had to let another one rip. This time she didn't even think about it. She let rip with a fart that rivaled a train whistle blowing. Again, the father looked at the dog with disgust and yelled, "dammit Ginger, get away from her before she shits on you!"

It is a lot to wade through, but there is some real cognitive dissonance showing up at this bo.com comment thread.

"Out of curiosity, what is going on with folks today? Did I miss something? People are up in arms about the 2nd amendment ruling. People are up in arms about the FISA court thing (well, telecom civil immunity part) and people are just generally cranky. "

and

"Gun rights are a wedge issue and it will be successfully used against Democrats because it is always effective. I know the topic very well and I agree with Obama's statement on this ruling but it is backpedaling defensive and that always loses."

and

"If Sen. Obama represents "Change we can believe in," then why does he willingly accept telecom immunity for violators of the 4th amendment? Sen. Obama spoke about filibustering this bill if telecom immunity was present, and now he is betraying a promise he made? Be a leader, Sen. Obama! A leader takes a stand on principles! We do not need another politician! Do not dismiss the 4th amendment of the Constitution. Thank you,"

These are some of the voices. Many others on the thread just tell everyone else "donate!"

As time goes on and Obama weakens in their eyes they will lose some enthusiasm for him. That will undermine turnout, which is the only factor producing big poll numbers for him.

Ohhh, just getting over a very serious reaction to antibiotic. :/ Went to the ER two days in a row because my throat was closing. covered with hives, it was really bad. today's the first day that I can even type, my hands were too swollen and i felt too bad. started Sat. night. gaah they are going away but keep trying to come back; dr said this could go on for another week or two. :(

how are you? :)

anaphylaxis, based upon they symptoms and my personal experience...... what did they give you, and did they at least tell you to not take any more of the antibiotic? did you contact your pharmacy & primary care giver/prescriber?

btw: out of professional curiosity, what was the antibiotic?

Once, Yogi's wife Carmen asked, "Yogi, you are from St. Louis, we live in New Jersey, and you played ball in New York. If you go before I do, where would you like me to have you buried?" To this, Yogi replied, "Surprise me."

Sounds like me with any kind of cephalosporin. I was manning the queue monitoring desk at work when the reaction hit. I was getting too hot, and next thing I knew, I was on the floor and surrounded by paramedics.

Dumbass HMO doctor prescribed a cephalosporin after I told him I don't react well.

Missed one (maybe the best) :

BHO,

Yet another issue where you ride the fence and wait to see what the response to your comments are.

As an Illinois senator from the Chicago area, your views on this and other issues are well known.... despite what you say.

My stomach is churning. It isn't from the deep dish pizza I just downed. It's from the stuff that comes from you.

Obama's act will wear thin with his whacko base - the whacko base that caucused for him and bought him a nomination.

After that you peel off a good % of the Hillary supporters and McCain is the next POTUS.

Jazz, to me, sounds like when the orchestra is tuning up before the real concert.

i'm not that fond of jazz (except Dixieland) either...... but then again, i don't particularly like classical either.

if you tell your pharmacy, they will screen for it in the future. also ask when you get your meds, and insist that you speak with a pharmacist. it's your right, at least here in CA.

you're luck to be alive, as am i. my allergy is due to w*rk place exposure, as are 2 of my reactions.

Yeah, that was many moons ago, and every doc I go to gets the no-cephalosporins-I-so-effing-mean-it lecture ever since.

re: #99 mahatma coat

good morning from a dreary ,cloudy Corcaigh..........

Here in northern California, we're living under thick atmospheric blanket of choking smoke. It's absolutely bizarre. The sun was deep red, still high in the sky, at 4 o'clock this afternoon, and by 6:30 or so -- still over two and a half hours before actual sunset -- the sun simply disappeared behind impenetrable layers of haze. Open any window and door, and the acrid smell of fire burns your nostrils. My smoke alarm has gone off twice already just from the air!

This has been going on for almost a week. Tomorrow is supposed to be even worse.

And yet there is no fire within 50 miles of where I currently am. It's the cumulative smoke of reportedly over 1000 smallish fires all over the state.

It's certainly one of the strangest "meteorological" periods I've ever witnessed around here.

There's no political dimension to any of this. Shocking, I know! Just a lot of smoke.

/been there, done that x3.

yep. i'm allergic to penicillin, demerol and now cipro. because it wasn't *immediate* anaphylaxis, like when i took penicillin, but came on slowly, i was taking diphenhydramine (benadryl) for the first day. That night it got very bad and went to ER, they gave me more diphenhydramine, a steroid, and epinephrine. Went home, after observation for a few hours with a prescription for a dose pack of steroids. got a little better, then it happened again a day later. same thing, so got a scrip for an epi pen, and they made me an appointment with an allergy specialist the next day, he put me on prednisone and zyrtec, in addition to yucca supplements and continued diphenhydramine. Made A HUGE DIFF and now i'm getting well. yay.

when i get back home, (i'm still in memphis because I was too sick to drive home) i'll alert my pharmacy and drs.

sucked to be me for the last few days. the hives were maddening.

don't tell them "i don't do well"..... use the medical code word "anaphylactic reaction" *that* should do the trick.

re: #93 RememberSekhmet?

Scary! my penicillin reaction was pretty fast like that, but it just so happened that my mom, always prepared with her first aid kit, had diphenhydramine on her and gave me about 50mgs immediately. The doctor said it saved my life, we were way out on the beach (didn't used to put warning labels on meds about reactions to the sun) and hospital was miles away. :/
Glad you're OK!

re: #96 LeePro

(((LEE))) thanks so much, i wanted to come online and ask for prayers but the most I could manage was just to sort of lurk for a minute. :/ really, i was pathetic. miserable. Give me the good old flu any day over an allergic reaction. UGH

Praying for your dental stuff, that it will be easy and you'll recover very well. :)
