I've never understood what the point of that quote is supposed to be, but in some dark corners of the web, moonbats recycle it endlessly. I think it's supposed to prove I'm a racist because I used the word "Caucasian," referring to Rachel Corrie, who was, of course, Caucasian. Is that a racist code word now?

The point I made was that she was being exploited as a "martyr," by the ISM and Hamas/Fatah, specifically because she was more Western in appearance and presumably more appealing to the Western audience. There's racism in that, sure -- on the part of the groups exploiting Corrie's death.

Is this a dada thread?

A rare example of good reporting from the MSM...
Q+A: Egypt in tight spot enforcing blockade of Gaza

Cairo believes that if it left the Egypt-Gaza border wide open Israel would wash its hands of responsibility for ensuring the Gazans receive enough to keep them alive -- food, water, medical supplies, electricity and other essentials. Egyptian diplomats say that Israel would seal the border with Gaza on its side, diverting all trade and traffic through Egypt.

The burden would be a drain on Egyptian resources and the authorities might find it hard to prevent an influx of Gaza Palestinians seeking work and housing.

In one worst-case scenario Israel might hold Egypt responsible for any attacks on Israel launched from Gaza, forcing Egypt to act as Gaza policeman -- a role fraught with danger. Egypt's presence in Gaza between 1948 and 1967, and its inability to impose full control on Palestinian groups there, helped drag Egypt into war with Israel in 1956 and 1967.
...
THE ISLAMIST FACTOR -- ...

Egypt also fears that Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood will cooperate behind its back, adding to the internal security threats which are Cairo's main concern.

A delightfully bizarre mondo-tiki rendition of the Trio classic “Da Da Da,” from the album Senor Coconut: Around the World. You can’t go wrong mixing German art-rock, Louis Prima, and hot chicks.

When the girls appear in gorilla suits, near the start of the video, I thought they were going to start klonking each other on the head with drumsticks, Ernie Kovacs-style -- being a clever cross-cultural reference from "Trio," the makers of the original song, to "Nairobi Trio," the gorilla-suited music box figurines from the Ernie Kovacs Show.

But no.

I was sorely disappointed. That just took off the gorilla suits. It had nothing to do with a clever Nairobi Trio reference.

For that reason alone, and also because I actually prefer unadorned original song, musically, to this tropical version, I'm going to have to give this one a thumbs down.

I await all "minus" votes!

WOW...check this out from Aaron Klein...

Sources: Palestinian leader begged Israel to hit Hamas

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and his office today slammed as "barbaric" and "unnecessary" Israel's air strikes in Gaza, but according to top diplomatic sources in Jerusalem, Abbas for months now has been petitioning Israel to launch a massive military raid against his Hamas rivals in Gaza.

The sources, speaking to WND on condition of anonymity, said Abbas and his top representatives have waged a quiet campaign for months asking the Israeli government to target Hamas in Gaza just before his term in office is scheduled to expire on Jan. 9.

Hamas leaders have repeatedly warned they will not recognize Abbas after the 9th, and that they will launch a major campaign to delegitimize the PA president and install their own figures to lead the Palestinian government.

Abbas hopes a large-scale Israeli military campaign in Gaza would distract Hamas from attempting to undermine his rule, the diplomatic sources told WND.

"It's an open secret among the diplomatic and military brass," one Israeli diplomatic source said. "The campaign from Abbas for us to attack Hamas in Gaza has been intensive."

Bwahahahahahaha!

On "proportionate response"...
The Palestinians have launched over 2,713 rockets and mortars and 306 other attacks from Gaza alone. That's over 3,019 attacks.
Israel's response today

Following mid-morning bombings, in which some 60 warplanes struck more than 50 targets in just a few minutes, Hamas fired more than 70 rockets and mortars into Israel killing one person and injuring four, according to a new Israeli army toll.

Not even close. The vast majority of Palestinian attacks simply fail but it's not for lack of trying.

UN Ambassador Shalev defends IDF Gaza op in letter to Ban, UNSC head

In an urgent letter to the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the head of the UN Security council, Israeli UN Ambassador Gabriela Shaleb on Saturday night defended Israel's decision to embark on a military operation in the Gaza Strip in order to put an end to rocket attacks on the South.

"Israel is taking the necessary military action in order to protect its citizens from ongoing terrorist attacks originating from the Gaza Strip and carried out by Hamas and other terrorist organizations," Shalev said, adding that Hamas "holds the sole responsibility for the latest events."

Israel, she continued, "has exhausted all means and efforts to reach and maintain quiet and to respect the state of calm… Israel's response is aimed solely against the terrorists and their infrastructures in the Gaza Strip. It is not intended against the civilian population. Israel is committed to prevent a humanitarian crisis."

Shalev asserted that "No country would allow continuous rocketing of its civilian population without taking the necessary actions to stop it."

Right on!

What was he, 24 when he wrote and produced that stuff? (23 when Pet Sounds was recorded). I think it is haunting and brilliant. Ahead of even the Beatles for a little while at that stage (as pure art, and I am the biggest Beatles fan you will find).

CAIR Condemns Israeli 'Massacre' in Gaza

From your link:

It must be clear by now that the only future offered to the Palestinian
people by the outgoing administration was one of perpetual subjugation and
humiliation at the hands of the Israeli occupiers.

As opposed to their Arab "brothers" who've kept them safe in squalid refugee "camps" when they could have easily been resettled.

Gotcha!

It's called an informant plant. The Odessa narcotics unit illegally compelled an informant to plant drugs on Yolanda Madden. The informant testified in federal court he planted the drugs on her and he passed a polygraph confirming the same. Yolanda also passed a polygraph along with a hair follicle and urine test. Our broken criminal justice system ignored the evidence and railroaded her through court sentencing her to 8 years in prison.

Her father hired KopBusters, a new reality show produced by NeverGetBusted, whereby Barry and Candi along with their detectives set up stings across America to catch crooked Kops.

KopBusters rented a house in Odessa, Texas and began growing two small Christmas trees under a grow light similar to those used for growing marijuana. When faced with a suspected marijuana grow, the police usually use illegal FLIR cameras and/or lie on the search warrant affidavit claiming they have probable cause to raid the house. Instead of conducting a proper investigation which usually leads to no probable cause, the Kops lie on the affidavit claiming a confidential informant saw the plants and/or the police could smell marijuana coming from the suspected house.

The trap was set and less than 24 hours later, the Odessa narcotics unit raided the house only to find KopBuster's attorney waiting under a system of complex gadgetry and spy cameras that streamed online to the KopBuster's secret mobile office nearby.

The attorney was handcuffed and later released when eleven KopBuster detectives arrived with the media in tow to question the illegal raid. The police refused to give KopBusters the search warrant affidavit which is suspected to contain the lies regarding the probable cause.

The team of eleven freedom fighters wore red "Free Yolanda" shirts as they clashed with the police demanding answers for the illegal raid and the drug plant. The police would not comment but later stated they were trying to charge KopBusters with a crime.

It is not illegal to grow plants under a light in your home but it is illegal to lie on an affidavit and plant drugs on a citizen. This operation was the first of its kind in the history of America. Police sometimes have other police investigating their crimes but the American court system has never dealt with a group of citizens stinging the police. Will the police file charges on the team who took down the corrupt cops? We will keep you posted.

I'm ascared to ask - what was that?

The Nation: Crazy Economic Theories

Here's a good piece reminding me why I don't swing left when it comes to the economy. Summarized: higher taxes, more unionization, "green" economics (also forcing our trading partners into "green" policies), and billions, if not trillions, of dollars of new spending we can't afford.

My favorite line in the article (get ready for this):

American workers shouldn't be forced by their employers to understate the number of hours worked or be locked in the warehouse so they can't leave on time. Workers often make only $2 and $3 an hour.

Guy should write for The Onion.

We better hope people like this don't get to make policy over the next 4 or 8 years. The only good that could come out of it is that whoever is President would be a one-timer. I'm sick of tired of all this massive spending that we can't afford and will most likely never be able to pay back, and the fact that these people put their full trust in the government to get this right. You all know the bad that would come out of policies like this: massive unemployment, increased protectionism, massive decrease in revenue for the government, and an all-around bad time for all of us.

Luckily it's The Nation which is, in itself, basically a joke.

No offense, gmsc, but I don't like shows and groups like that. While this looks like a real case of police corruption, too often the people behind such shows are anti-police and pro-criminal. I smell propaganda from the heirs of Ayers.

I think JCM summed it up the best. Regardless of what happens and how this ultimately turns out, it will be interesting to watch.

Seeing as the Odessa police are refusing to turn over the warrant in question, they seem to realize they may have put themselves into big trouble.

I found out about this story via this Coyote Blog entry, which also talks about a story involving Maryland teens who create fake license plates on glossy photo paper using other people's plates, and then zoom through speed cameras.

Belmont quotes the timesonline:

The strikes on Gaza yesterday were unparalleled. Israeli warplanes screamed in from the sea across Gaza in wave after wave, pounding at least 30 security compounds in the strip controlled by the Hamas government.

At 11.30am Israeli time, the first wave of 60 F16s screamed low over Gaza, launching rockets at 50 targets. Israeli military sources said a total of 100 missiles were fired at Hamas police stations, command centers, training bases and illicit manufacturing warehouses.

In the second wave, 20 Israeli jets returned, following up intelligence received from drones in the skies over the Strip. They launched 50 missiles aimed almost entirely at militants who had come out with makeshift rockets to hit back.

Outstanding.

Show these savages what time on target really means.

Sixty armed F-16s coming out of the ocean to fire on targets, should sear something into the psyches of everyone in Gaza. Pity such a horror is necessary.

The left have to distort reality in order to sell their snake oil. Millions of private businesses across our nation function profitabliy and ethically without the unions. the unions are the way the socialist democrat party sneak socialism into the workplace. After all, unions are just a version of socialism.

It's the same reason the left cannot be honest about "Card check" - they call it "right to work" but it really is removal of the secret ballot so that union bosses can intimated their way into the door. The union business model destroyed GM and Chrystler by forcing all sorts of socialist crap in the door. like paying people to do nothing all day etc... The democrat party is in bed with the union business model because it will destroy America. Socialism and communism love a vacuum.

With all of the strict work rules and regulations, unions are unnecessary
They are a step backwards.
