I was there this past Saturday.

Oh brother...

OH NOES! ITS GOJIRA!

Looks refreshing.

Oops. I thought it was a dog.

How large is the dinosaur? I can't tell from the perspective.

Oh no! There goes Tokyo!

Reminds me of that movie w/ Ahnold in which he and others are fighting an invisible ET.

There are (I think) four of them along 3rd Street in Santa Monica.

Just had to ban two apologists for Radovan Karadzic, by the way.

This is not the blog on which to apologize for mass murderers of any kind or any ethnicity. People who do will lose their accounts.

I left their comments in place, to document it.

So I was listening to KPFK today (Pacifica Radio) and they described borders and "International Apartheid".

'Stop construction on mass grave site'

A Jewish group is asking the Ukrainian government to stop construction on the site of a grave containing the remains of some 26,000 victims of the Holocaust.

A developer has begun building what it believes will be a shopping mall on the site of a burial ground, the Jewish community in Odessa said in a letter Wednesday.

When construction workers began digging they found bones, skulls and children's toys, said Avrohom Wolf, the chief rabbi for Odessa and southern Ukraine.

Wolf said the builder had removed all the remains it dug out and said he has no clue where to search for them.

On Wednesday, the group sent a letter to Ukraininan Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, asking that she intervene.

Was he pandering then?
Or is he pandering now?

I get a fair amount of spousal flack for spending a too much time keeping up with the political scene. "What difference will it make?" "When are you going to fill out that school paperwork?!"

She has a point.

So what could I do that would make a difference?

So here is my idea of a single video that would cause people across the political spectrum to not vote for Barack Obama.

Barack Obama has taken a lot of leftist positions to cater to the left wing back of the Democrat party.
Recently he has taken a sharp right turn, trying to make himself palatable to the average American.

Hearing his earlier stuff will turn off average Americans
Hearing his current stuff will turn off hard leftists.
Putting them together will turn off any voter who appreciates character.

Narrator: Pander: "To cater to the lower tastes and desires of others"

Narrator: [Discussion of Obama voting for every gun control measure]
[Film clip of Obama or campaign staff saying that the DC Gun Ban was constitutional with the date on the bottom]

[Film clip of Obama with "Seven months later" on the bottom]
Obama: [agreeing with the Supreme Court decision]

Narrator: Was he pandering then? Or is he pandering now?

Rev Write: G-D America

[Film clip of Obama with the date on the bottom]
Obama: I could no more disown Rev Write than my own grandmother

[Film clip of Obama with "Two Weeks Later" on the bottom]
Obama: [disowning Rev Write for "dissing" him]

Narrator: Was he pandering then? Or is he pandering now?

[Film clip of Obama with the date and "Speech before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee" on the bottom]
Obama: Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel - and it must remain undivided

[Film clip of Obama with "One day later" on the bottom]
Obama: [contradicting the undivided Jerusalem speech]

Narrator: Was he pandering then? Or is he pandering now?

[Another leftist clip or quote from his books]

[The corresponding contradiction of that clip]

Narrator: Was he pandering then? Or is he pandering now?

Etc.

Odd this.

Went to check on the words John Edwards on
ABC
CBS
NBC
PBS
ect.

There is stuff on him every day in their search area up to around July 11, 12, 13, or so,, then nothing

re: #23 taxfreekiller

Edwards went out of the hotel briefly with Rielle, they were observed by the NATIONAL ENQUIRER and then went back to her room, where he stayed until attempting to sneak out of the hotel unseen at 2:40 a.m. (PST). But when he emerged alone from an elevator into the hotel basement he was greeted by several reporters from the NATIONAL ENQUIRER.

Senior NATIONAL ENQUIRER Reporter Alexander Hitchen asked Edwards why he was visiting Rielle and whether he was ready to confirm that he was the father of her baby.

Shocked to see a reporter, and without saying anything, Edwards ran up the stairs leading from the hotel basement to the lobby. But, spotting a photographer, he doubled back into the basement. As he emerged from the stairwell, reporter Butterfield questioned him about his hookup with Rielle.

Edwards did not answer and then ran into a nearby restroom. He stayed inside for about 15 minutes, refusing to answer questions from the NATIONAL ENQUIRER about what he was doing in the hotel. A group of hotel security men eventually escorted him from the men's room, while preventing the NATIONAL ENQUIRER reporters from following him out of the hotel.

looks to me like the msm hacks had a heads up

It is not the borders that make us what we are, rich affluent, powerful. It not the resources within those borders. It the idea we are founded on that make us so.

Yet when we export that idea, so other can be like us and ease the divide they yell imperialism.

They focus on the material (see ch. 1 Conscience of a Conservative B. Goldwater), failing to recognize the material came out of the ideological which we freely share.

Charles, thank you for banning the apologists for the serbian genocide. War criminals have no place for redemption. I studied Yugoslavian history in college and that conflict had a lot for to do with ancient resentment and hatred stemming from the battle of Kosovo in 1389 where the native serbs were defeated by the invading Ottomans, and less about the Islamization of Serbia and Bosnia. While it is certainly true that if a US State gained a critical mass of muslim population and tried to secede there would be war, we would hope that we at least would fight with honor and not resort to the barbarous tactics that the sebs and the muslims practised.

re: #39 Vergeltung

that's about 1/2 a days worth in Rwanda....

you forgot

The residents of a Syrian city named Hama had been more persistent in their criticisms of the dictator than other towns. For that reason,

Hafez Assad decided that Hama would be the staging point of the example he was to make to the Syrian people. In the twilight hours of February the 2nd, 1982, the city of Hama was awakened by loud explosions. The Syrian air force had began to drop their bombs from the dark sky.

The initial bombing run cost the city few casualties. It's main purpose had been to disable the roads so that no-one could escape. Earlier in the night, Syrian tanks and artillery systems had surrounded Hama. With the conclusion of the air bombing run, the tanks and artillery began their relentless shelling of the town.

The cost in human lives was severe. As homes crumbled upon their living occupants and the smell of charred skin filled the streets, a few residents managed to escape the shelling and started to flee. They were met by the Syrian army which had surrounded the city ... they were all shot dead.

Hours of shelling had turned Hama into rubble. The tanks and artillery had done all that they could. The next wave of attacks came in the form of Syrian soldiers. They quickly converged onto the town killing anything that would move. Groups of soldiers would round up men, women, and children only to shoot them in the back of the head. Many other soldiers would invade homes with the orders to kill all inhabitants.

After the majority of the people in Hama were dead, the soldiers began looting. They would take all that they could from the now empty homes. Some were seen picking through the dead civilians looking for money, watches, and rings.

With their mission completed and their pockets filled with loot, the soldiers began to retreat from the city. One would think that would have been the last wave of the attacks. It was not. The final attack on Hama was the most gruesome. To make sure that no person was left alive in the rubble and buildings, the Syrian army brought in poison gas generators. Cyanide gas filled the air of Hama. Bulldozers were later used to turn the city into a giant flat area.

The Syrian government death count was place at around 20,000 people dead ... but the Syrian Human Rights Committee estimates it to be much higher, at somewhere between 30,000 to 40,000 civilians dead or missing.

Edwards was just trying to be like Bill Clinton, but he didn't have an intern around.

Do you not remember Damour Lebanon. Let me remind you. Arafat and the PLO plunged Lebanon into "massacres, rape, mutilation, rampages of looting and killings. Out of a population of 3.2 million, some 40,000 or more people had been killed, 100,000 wounded, 5,000 permanently maimed

In January of 1976, the destruction of Damour, a town of some 25,000 was completed by the PLO within two weeks. "The priest of Damour, Father Mansour Labaky desperately trying to save people of the town telephoned Kamal Jumblat [one of the Lebanese leaders], in whose parliamentary constituency Damour lay. 'Father, Jumblat said, 'I can do nothing for you, because it depends on Yasser Arafat' " . All efforts were useless. In the morning following the first night of invasion, when more than fifty people were massacred, Father Labaky "despite the shelling managed to get to the on
