Nasrallah survives poisoning attempt

Hizbullah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah was poisoned last week and his life was saved by 15 Iranian doctors who flew to Lebanon to treat him, the Iraqi Web site Almalaf reported Wednesday, quoting Lebanese diplomatic sources.

The sources were quoted as saying that an extremely poisonous chemical substance was used against the Hizbullah leader.

Nasrallah was reportedly in critical condition for several days, until the Iranian doctors arrived and saved his life. The Hizbullah chief is still feeing unwell, according to the report.

re: #2 WrathofG-d

Is this the thread where we don't discuss Obama, Palin, Democrats, or the economy?

No, no, no, and yes.

Some fellow lizards on the last CNN related thread asked me to repost this so here goes. I'm honored they thought so much this post to do so. BTW. Did my part for McCain/Palin. Donated $250.

There is a reason why the MSM coverage (and the polls) are biased for Obama. They want something from him, and if he's elected, they'll probably get it.

Having worked in the big media for many years, I can tell you what they want. Most in the media unconciously, or perhaps ever conciously have made a "Gentleman's Agreement" with Senator Barack Obama.

While on the surface, the average Eastern-educated white liberal in journalism loves Obama because of their chance at racial redemption brought on by guilt (the self-realized hypocrisy of succeeding through the same means that they criticize Republicans for, ie. sending their kids to elite private schools, getting their elite media jobs through the Yale alumni network, hiring females as eye candy in their newsrooms, hiring minorities as mere tokens and giving them only scraps, driving SUVs and living in tony all-white neighborhoods like Berkeley, Upper Northwest Washington, the Upper East Side of Manhattan, trust me, I've seen it all) the bottom line in the corporate offices, not the newsrooms as you might expect, is the bottom line.

As Drudge reported today, the network news shows audience is dying, literally. Its liberal news for New Deal-era and Great Society-era viewers, AND THEY ARE DYING AND NO-ONE IS REPLACING THEM. They will be out of an audience within a decade and a half. The network bosses will pull the plug well before that, since there will be no audience to sell advertising too. Even the mass retirement of Baby-Boomers won't save them from cable, talk radio, and the Internet

So in return for softball coverage, Obama, the ultimate affirmative action candidate will give the white liberal elite media what they want, Fairness Doctrine in the first term, which is what we all suspected, but the second is something that will truly chill you.

I have heard many liberals in the newsroom and in elite journalism schools pine for a British Broadcasting Corporation news organization free of commericial pressures, as they say. (What they really mean is a taxpayer funded, unaccountable news organization that guaratees news jobs in perpetuity and is free from the pressures of political balance. Think of tenured radicals, but in journalism)

An American style BBC, (think NPR on steroids, but on TV, Web and Cable, and worldwide) would guarantee THOUSANDS of jobs for liberal journalists and would be free from market and political pressure.

This is their goal. Hillary HATED the press, so it was clear she would never give them what they wanted. But Obama may just give it to them, so they've thrown their support his way to get him elected.

There will be aid for liberal newspapers like the New York Times in the form of "grants" for "investigative" or "international" journalism funded from private donors through quasi-government agencies or "collaborations" ie. a joint NPR-New York Times investigation on the Iraq War, or government "grants" to elite journalism schools like UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism, which already partners with PBS' Frontline in producing "investigative" journalism. An Obama administration could funnel millions of dollars through PBS to journalism schools, which in turn would "partner" with MSM outlets for projects, investigating and reporting on naturally, the left's favorite boogeymen, Big Oil, Halliburton, Wal-Mart, the military, evangelical Christians. The list goes on.

Obama, with his shady ACORN and Corporate Anneberg Challenge experiences, especially with helping Bill Ayers radical friends get "educational" grants will be a master of sending government and taxpayer funds to friendly institutions to achieve his ends. And the media will look the other way, as they will be the beneficiary.

Obama is the Savior. Literally. To the Media....

Lets report this truthfully.

I've been thinking. It looks like BHO could very well be the next POTUS. These are the reasons I don't want that to happen.

1. I own a small business. BHO's tax plan would have a real impact on my ability to grow my business. Not this year and probably not next because the economy is having a real impact.

2. Pelosi and Reid. That should have been number one.

3. BHO's radical friends. I'm not convinced that Obama is philosophically as left leaning as Bill Ayers but he definitely is beholden to the likes of Ayers and the Move on's that have financed his campaign and helped start his political career.

4. I think BHO is lying about his association with Ayers. I really believe Ayers helped Obama write "Dreams."

5. Joe Biden

He actually lives in Nixa. When he went by there to get tickets, there was a car in the parking lot with an Obama sticker on the bumper. He is afraid that Obama supporters got a lot of the tickets and will not use them come Friday. He did NOT get tickets they were all gone by this morning.

Contrary to other polls, some of which show Obama ahead by double digits, the IBD/TIPP Poll shows a sudden tightening of Obama's lead to 3.7 from 6.0. McCain has picked up 3 points in the West and with independents, married women and those with some college. He's also gaining momentum in the suburbs, where he's gone from dead even a week ago to a 20-point lead. Obama padded gains in urban areas and with lower-class households, but he slipped 4 points with parents.

That reminds me of the following paragraphs from Bill Whittle's Seeing The Unseen:

Now, picture yourself in this chair, at 40,000 feet, traveling at one and a half times the speed of sound. Now imagine that someone has painted the windows white - you are flying on instruments. Now imagine that not only do you have to be able to fly blind, by referencing these instruments, but that you also have to stare into that orange jack-o-lantern of a radar, and interpret a squiggle that will lead you to your target. Now imagine that in addition to not hitting the ground, or your wingman, and watching the squiggle, you also have to turn those switches on the right side panel to activate weapons systems, to overcome enemy countermeasures - without looking outside, as you hurtle through air at -40 degrees F, air so thin that should you lose pressure, you have about 4-6 seconds of consciousness before you black out and die.

I maintain that the instant George W. Bush closed that canopy and took off on the first of his many solo hours in an F-102, it is quite impossible that he was either an idiot or a coward.

Here is a random question from the instrument rating exam I had to pass a few years ago.

What should be the approximate elapsed time from the BOSEMAN (BZN) VOR to the DUBOIS (DBS) VORTAC if the wind is 24 knots from 260 degrees and your intended True Air Speed is 185 knots? (The magnetic variation is 17deg. E)

A. 33 minutes
B. 37 minutes
C. 39 minutes

(It's C., obviously)

If he had been a civilian rather than military pilot, Dubya would have had to have passed 60 questions like this with at least 70% correct. Questions on weather, radio communications, mechanical systems, aerodynamics, pilot physiology, airspace, navigation and a hundred other things. But, since he was military, he also had to know how to operate that primitive in-flight radar, plus weapons systems, rules of engagement, electronic warfare, hydraulics, fuel systems - it goes on and on.

People like Michael Moore and Bill Maher and Keith Olberman would not be able to figure out how to close the canopy on an F-102. These people would be weeping with fear when those afterburners light up and you barrel down that runway hoping that engine doesn't flame out and roll you inverted into the asphalt, or when you're rocketing through the soup at 300mph watching two little needles chase each other, praying the next thing you see out the window is a runway and not a mountain goat.

I cannot imagine what it is going to be like in a couple of years when we can't openly admit to being Republican in public.

re: #76 ljmw

I'll add a couple, and then maybe some other lizards can chip in.

6. From what we know of Obama's law background, he is, like most leftists, a legal deconstructionist. For deconstructionists a text has no meaning in and of itself. It only has subjective meaning to each person or a group. Obama will appoint SCOTUS justices like Harry "the Constitution Means Whatever Five of Us Says It Means" Blackmun or Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who explicitly says that she is guided by "enlightened world opinion" rather than the words of dead white males. Do you want rule by law or rule by subjective opinion?

7. Obama has said he will make drastic cuts in military programs and the development of new weapons, including purely defensive ones. Do we really want to decimate our military the way Carter did?

From what I've gathered that is happening a few counties over, the fear is fire.

Mine was moved during the night. Positioned so you would have to stand in front of my house to see. I moved it back and will keep an eye out for who might be moving it. Maybe the guy across the street, he has The Zero's sign. Can't believe he would vote for him, he is Russian. Maybe he yearns for the USSR here.

re: #107 godfrey

Put up McCain signs. Sit inside and wait with a friend with a camcorder. When the Obamabots come, confront them, have your friend film the confrontation, and send the footage to your local news with a polite request.

Or just wait for them with a mattock handle. Probably not encouraged though huh?

re: #112 taxfreekiller

On the sign's.

around say 9:00 , good dark,

as a good will jester, put the McCain/Palin signs in their yards
"just reaching across the isle",,,,!

Mom, is that you?!

No shit, tfk. She suggested the same thing the other day.

I'm reposting this over here in the open since it's better here:

I just wanted to say that last presidential election season, I spent it here with you guys. A lot has happened since then, I moved from West Texas to Germany, I bought a Sachsen Anhaltiner Deutsche Warmblut mare (who is going to cost me 10K to ship back to the states but I have to because I love her) and started riding again, mostly dressage and sport jumping.

So it seems, like last time, the whole thing is a nail biter. I already voted by mail, and only once like a good conservative. It doesn't really matter because my home county in Texas will go 75/25 McCain. For some reason I find the best links and the most fun here at LGF when it comes to election commentary.

Anyhow, thought I'd check in with y'all again and sort of re-introduce myself. I think it's great that after four long years, many of the same folks are still around.
Prost!

P.S. Scotch is good.

re: #140 WrathofG-d

Last time ZerObama was here, he had a 1 hour rally with banners and signs (free speech) banned, at a not too accessible park, and then a $2500/plate dinner, with a lame bodysurfing exhibition in-between............no other public face to his home state.
He is NOT a Local Boy. ZerObama is a corrupt Chicago Politician.

re: #76 ljmw

I've been thinking. It looks like BHO could very well be the next POTUS. These are the reasons I don't want that to happen.

1. I own a small business. BHO's tax plan would have a real impact on my ability to grow my business. Not this year and probably not next because the economy is having a real impact.

2. Pelosi and Reid. That should have been number one.

3. BHO's radical friends. I'm not convinced that Obama is philosophically as left leaning as Bill Ayers but he definitely is beholden to the likes of Ayers and the Move on's that have financed his campaign and helped start his political career.

4. I think BHO is lying about his association with Ayers. I really believe Ayers helped Obama write "Dreams."

5. Joe Biden

There is more but I would be interested in what others here might add.

re: #132 redstateredneck

This is homecoming week at the local high school and although my daugher graduated last spring, some of her friends who are still in high school rolled our yard the other night. At any rate, she brought home an air soft pistol last night in case any of them pull a repeat. Fortified by alcohol (I'd had a LARGE margarita at the Mexican restaurant earlier), I let her shoot me with it in the back. There is nothing soft about it. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot anybody messing with my McCain/Palin sign, though!

Went into the old Juvenile court building a couple of months ago on a "treasure hunt" for decent furniture and supplies abandoned on site, and I actually did pretty good, picking up a 700 watt APC UPS being used for a door stop. But I noted all these dots covering furniture, walls and especially chairs. The dots looked like the same material as "silly string" I deduced the SWAT and tactical teams had been using the building for training exercises and the dots were the remains of soft bullets. Spent the last couple of days helping out our Emergency management people training on procedures for the new Emergency management center. And yes the cops are worried about riots on Nov. 5th....

re: #46 Wm T Sherman

Most likely ate with his left hand. How do you clean your clean hand without using your dirty hand to clean it with?

And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness.
The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.
When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: “Verily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?”

Yes, his ACORN-related activities made him a major player in creating the FM-Squared wipeout- but he couldn't have done it without the help of Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, and the silence of the Democrats who spent fifteen years covering all of the above's a$$es when anyone wanted to actually look at the books.

B. His constant bob-and-weave on energy policy is also very much in the Dem mainstream. They are so beholden to the primitivist anti-technology, anti-civilization deep-ecology crowd that they don't dare ever even suggest actually doing anything. Which means that in a few years, the entire nation will look like CA did just before "Grayout" Davis got pink-slipped. If we're lucky, and it isn't worse.

C. His remarks about "bitter people.... cling(ing) to guns and religion" is Dem dogma right down the line. About the only thing that the average "enlightened elitist" of the type that runs the Democratic Party hates more than religion is gun ownership. It's interesting to me to watch local Dems tie themselves into philosophical knots as they simultaneously rail about "crazy Christians" and "Zionist Jews" while trying to explain how the only thing wrong with Islam is that they're "fighting back" against all the evils the West has perpetrated on them going back to the Crusades. (Then I give them the timeline of the Arab invasions starting three centuries before the First Crusade, and they tend to stalk off in a huff.) As for gun owners, I have yet to meet a leader-type Dem who thinks they are even qualified to vote- most consider "gun owner" to be semantically equivalent to "bigoted a-hole Neanderthal".

D. Biden is the gift that keeps on giving. As I've said before, if you want to know what the Dems really intend to do to you, just listen to Joe the Mouth long enough, and sooner or later he'll blurt it out, just to prove how smart he is. It amazes me that his party doesn't have "handlers" following him around to hustle him out when he goes into "Let me tell you" mode, because you can bet the next thing out of his mouth will be something the Dems really, really don't want you to know until after the election. Add in Biden's well-known penchant for confusing reality with the world inside his head, and I'm convinced that Obambi didn't pick him for VP on the basis of him being a candidate for MENSA. More like, "You'd better hope I stay healthy, otherwise this effing loon will be calling the shots."

I could go on, but those are foremost on my mind these days.

Yeah,what he said.

Finally some great news from Saudi Arabia. Strategy Page is the only one who has picked up on the story and I have found SP 100 percent reliable.

"I appreciate that German head ministers endorsement, and find it flattering. Although we might disagree politically, I understand the economic problems, and religious strife the great German people are experiencing. We, the American people, can learn a lot from Mr. Hitler's leadership, forward thinking on issues such as organization, rail infrastructure, scientific endeavors, and his great strides into diverse work arrangements for the minority communities of Germany."

re: #231 Silhouette

I think that highly unlikely.

The vandalism seems to run about 100-1, but we'll hear about that 1 time to "prove" it runs both ways.

I know ,, but it's win win
If someone trashes a sign you don't want in your own yard, so what
If they do NOT trash it, you get the pleasure of doing it the day aftre Halloween

WIN WIN

re: #249 pre-Boomer Marine brat

For those here who've asked what's coming from zombie, see It's comments #38 and #56 in "The Stop Obama Tour in Colorado" on Tuesday.

It mentions 1974. Hard to imagine what Obama might have done at age 13 that could stick to him today.

re: #218 arethusa

Some of the Rays did endorse Obama.

Can't find anything on any Phillies endorsing him. :-)

Well, screw them. *spit*
Guess we'll root for the Phillies.
Charlie Manuel is from SW Va anyway!
