This just yells for a quote of Blackadder:

(Sometime later, it is nighttime. Edmund is sitting at desk writing the dictionary. Candles flicker. Prince George comes in)

Prince George: How goes it, Blackadder?

Edmund: Not all that well, sir.

Prince George: Well, let's have a look...(reads) "Medium-sized insectivore with protruding nasal implement." (pauses) Doesn't sound much like a bee to me.

Edmund: (shouts) It's `aardvark', can't you see that, Your Highness? It's a bloody *aardvark*!

Prince George: Oh dear -- still on `aardvark', are we?

Edmund: Yes, I'm afraid we are. And if I ever meet an aardvark, I'm going to step on its damn protruding nasal implement until it couldn't suck up an insect if its life depended on it.

Prince George: Got a bit stuck, have you?

Edmund: I'm sorry, sir. It's five hours later, and I've got every word in the English language except `a' and `aardvark' still to do. And I'm not very happy with my definition of either of them.

Wonder how this will turn out?
American Islamic Leaders Push Obama To Shift U.S. Policy; Jewish Democratic Leaders Don't See Change

(RTTNews) - As Israel launched a fresh wave of airstrikes into the Palestinian territory of Gaza Monday, pressure mounted on President-elect Barack Obama to announce his policy on the conflict.

American Islamic leaders issued a call for the president-elect to take a stronger stance in the conflict, asking him to reverse the "blank-check" policy they say the Bush Administration has given Israel. However, Jewish Democratic leaders say they don't expect a Obama to make radical changes in U.S. policy towards Israel.

Meanwhile, Obama, who will take office on January 20th, has delayed taking a stance on the issue as long as President George Bush remains in the White House.

Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told RTTNews in an interview that he hopes the Obama administration will end the "blank check" of understanding the Bush Administration has issued to Israel.

"George Bush decided to give Israel the go-ahead to destroy Palestinians and Gaza," Awad said, speaking after a press conference in Washington. "That is also destroying the ability of America to engage in the peace process that would be based on equality and even-handedness."

He added, "It will make it difficult for Barack Obama to appeal to the Muslim world."

Awad said that he hoped Obama would "have the courage" to bring his mantra of change to discussions of U.S. policy in the Middle East and embark on a new path that treats all parties to the peace as equals and to use U.S. leverage with Israel to push a more moderate approach.

"The problem is in the policies," he said. "If we change the policies then envoys and special envoys ? these people are willing to engage both sides and bring to the table both sides with their arguments and see what on earth they should be doing."

He added, "Today, America has sided with Israel blindly at the expense of American interests. It is time to protect America's interests and American values by being true to our friends and say, 'We are not going to get a blank check.'"

Mahdi Bray, executive director of the Muslim American Society's Freedom Foundation, told RTTNews that "this is the time to step forward" for Obama to initiate a shift in U.S. thinking on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

"We want to be in the transition process," Bray said. "The atmosphere centered around Obama when he was running ? [with] the Muslim bashing and baiting and later on the terrorism type charges, it would have been very, very difficult political reasons for the Obama Administration to make the kind of outreach they would have needed to make to the American Muslim community."...

That's incredible!

OT:
This JPost article paints a very ominous situation.

Obviously, I wouldn't be quick to trust the anonymous palestinian sources, but it sounds plausible that Hamas would have set themselves up in this way.

On the other hand, this analysis by David Horovitz of JPost paints a very optimistic picture of Ehud Barak.

I certainly hope that parts of both of these are right. I hope that Hamas is confident in their little cubby-holes that they can take on Israel, and that Barak has come up with some other new and unexpected way to hit them much harder than they expect.

Finally...an explanation.

Wasn't there a space critter on Star Trek that looked a lot like that little guy. Sucked the salt out of people?

Any Trekkies (who are willing to admit it) who can tell me if I'm right?

Wearing the silly face masks should make killing these thigs exceptionally easy. BTW, some may ask why the Hamas wear face masks in their own country. I recently read in The Economist, in an article on Somalia, that the Islamists wear the face mask to intimidate their own population. That way they can do random acts of murder, rape and robbery without fear of a blood feud. It is this way they keep the population subjugated.

So, who will be the first Cajun to show up with a recipe?

Cute little thing in that way that all babies are cute, but, I can't help but think that if Barney Fwank had been straight, and then by some strange happenstance any woman allowed him to get within half a mile of her, this might be what his offspring would resemble.

You'll note that he realizes the error of his ways and apologizes, sincerely.

Gotta' say I find his nic amusing.

You may not believe this..But it was a sleepless night in Seattle when I saw her standing there.. We had a magical dance on top of the space needle..
It was then I knew a hot buffed fireman was going to take her away from me..
Those were the days....

re: #112 Spare O'Lake

LOL.
Actually my last blind date was when I was 15.
It was a favour I got roped into doing.
I'm not saying that I was movie star material, but boy was she ugly...woof!
It was my last blind date.

Oh, ok. Growing up I knew I was no prize, and figured any woman who dated me would have to be blind or crazy. First wife was (still is) crazy. I barely survived. Second wife is legally blind. Much better that way.

re: #138 lawhawk

Reading that makes me realize how far we have really came since then, and I do not see it as a positive move. Those aircraft were designed to deliver tactical nuclear weapons with the intent of fighting a limited nuclear war. Shortly after 9-11 the Bush Administration wanted a program to develop microo nukes, as bunker busters and for other uses where a very low yield weapon might be useful.

The fucking Republicans killed it.

The only way we've survived the last twenty years or so is that our enemies are so hopelessly outclassed anyway. But Obama wants to change that.

For the children, no doubt.

re: #175 lawhawk

Well, that's queer. And yes, there IS something wrong with that. It worked before, mere moments ago.

I'm cool with that.
Nukes should be used as a last resort, not a damn tool.
It's a technology I'd prefer not to introduce as "just another weapon".

I'm surprised it hasn't acted up before now.

re: #213 jwb7605

That's a good way to get us hit really hard. you never take any weapon off the table. I hope to God we've got people working in bioweapons development right now.

Because our enemies do.

They don't have any qualms about using them, either. So what do you want to do if they do? Roll over and fucking die?

At the end of the day, I want us to win. I'm not overly concerned with what happens to the enemy. As long as we hit them hard enough. Low yield weapons would have been preferable to high yield weapons under certain circumstances, but you go with what you've got.

I'm wondering why NASA never used windows 95 to go to the space station?
I mean the material writes itself.

re: #220 Iron Fist

I'm not advocating not developing or researching that stuff.
I'm advocating not using the stuff except "as a last resort", and I'm advocating not adding it to our "normal stockpile" of weaponry.

re: #221 HoosierHoops

I saw an amusing piece on if Microsoft developed cars one time. the only thing I recall specifically was that it'd pop up a dialog asking "Are you sure?" if you started to deploy the airbags.

Do you call tech support?

re: #222 jwb7605

The Republicans killed the research. If we need them, we won't have them. Period. We'll either have to go with what we have (W-88s, nominal yield of 475 kT), or not go at all.

It'll be way to late to wish we'd done the research.

Bluntly, defense of the populace is one of the main duties that Government has. It is probably the single most important thing that it does. It was irrisponsibility verging on dereliction of duty for Congress to kill this. All in the name of being politically correct.

No. You'll be dead before you can get to anyone that can really speak English, anyway.

You have reached Tech support
press 1 if you are in the death spins of a out of control space craft.
press 2 You are experiencing office 2003 issues..
press 3 If you just watched Apollo 13 and are feeling really nervous.
press 4 If you need emotional support after declaring it would be really cool to have Microsoft enter research
press 5 You know your heart shouldn't beat at 300/min. but you don't know who to call at this time.

re: #233 DisturbedEma I can either sit beside your or behind you to watch your back. I would be proud to do either : ) I tell you, I am so angry and frustrated with what I am reading about Israel and Gaza, I just want to scream. Does it make me a warmongerer to just want to yell at the top of my lungs "NOW LEAVE ISRAEL ALONE OR YOUR GONNA GET YOUR ASS KICKED! DO YOU HEAR ME NOW!" Ahhh the frustration!

re: #220 Iron Fist

I had a conversation with a biologist once and asked him a similar question. He hypothesized and said that whatever they had, we had plus many better. Which makes perfect sense. I assume we are the global powerhouse in this capacity.

But it is a zero sum game like global nuclear war. It's difference is that it retains an exotic connotation because its effectiveness is unknown and its deployment is (theoretically) easy.

That is one, ugly-assed aardvark, baby.

re: #234 HoosierHoops

Heh. The last two times my boss has called Microsoft tech support they hung up on him without actually solving the problem. on one of those they told the Dell guy that was conferenced in that he needed to contact his OEM. He responded that he was the OEM.

So they hung up. We are none too pleased with Micro$oft. But we can't just throw away the last six years of work just because we're pissed about their tech support.

They count on that, I expect.

Love that little aardvark and this mother and child bonding, giraffe style:

I ask you, is that not a fantastic picture of a youthful Nancy Pelosi?

With all the rain lately, we've got termites, big red ants, those pesky little sugar ants, and the occasional standard black ant. More rain on the way, too.

Okay, it does bring teh cute. I admit.
Sort of.

re: #237 experiencedtraveller

But our enemies don't see it as a zero sum game. They never have. The Soviets tried for conventional dominance while fighting our nuclear platforms with such nonsense as "No First Use" agreements. Of course the Soviets wanted no first use. They thought they could take us (maybe) if they kept nukes off the table.

The same domestic enemies were working for them even then. People like Kerry and Kennedy were trying to derail our nuclear deterrent while trying to also eviscerate our conventional forces. Kennedy was, at some level working with the KGB during the Reagan Administration. Did he know he was helping the KGB? I don't know. On one level you have to ask how he couldn't have known who his efforts were helping.

It is the same today. Dick Durbin, for example, might as well be a paid mouthpiece for al Qaeda. If he was the leak for the New York Times articles on wiretapping, then it is hard not to call him a de facto intelligence asset for al Qaeda.

And al Qaeda is much harder to deter from using any weapon that they can get. They don't see millions of deaths for their own side as a reason not to do as they see fit. Ahmadinejad has boldly stated that Iran will use nuclear weapons on Israel when they get them, and they aren't counting the cost that Israeli retaliation will bring.

Maybe he is as full of shit as he sounds, but he doesn't sound like he's joking. He doesn't sound like someone who has decided nuclear war is a zero sum game. He's in it to win it, and it doesn't really matter how many people have to go down with him.

This might just be an academic exercise, except for the fact that Iran has a large and growing program to develop and build nuclear weapons.

OTOH, we don't even test the ones that we have. What's the shelf-life of a W-88? I have no idea, myself, but there had better be someone in our government who knows the answer.

Micro nukes would have been a useful tool both tactically (if we had to use them) and strategically (don't make us use them). Since they haven't been developed, I'd say the bad guys won this round. If we wind up popping a W-88, they may very well consider it a Pyrrhic victory.

But they don't think we're going to pop the W-88. I don't blame them for that. I don't think we'd do it either. So our massive deterrent force in reality may deter nothing because it is only useful as a deterrent if your enemies believe that you will use it.

The beast looks like a cute space alien.

I thought BHO was getting tired of people taking half naked shots of him, and then you go post this!

re: #225 Dustyvet

Heh™ Thanks, man. This is a pretty gloomy discussion we're having right now what with all the nukes and retaliation shit. Thanks for a laugh :-)

Excuse me?

i submitted a few of my photos to their blog but they have not published them as of yet.

It's aardvark but it's worth it.

If he wasn't so danged cute ugly, I'd say he kind of reminds me of BO in the ears and face...if I squint my eyes a little.

Not yet, it needs a little more meat on the bone still...

hmmmm.... Aardvark stew anyone?

Ah, the Detroit side of the family.

Aardvark (no relation)

Eew cute! I needed a laugh. This baby aardvark kind of reminds me of the Mexican Hairless dogs that almost always win the ugly dog contests.

As an avid watcher of the old Pink Panther cartoons, I can tell you with absolute certainty that Aardvarks are blue, they talk like Jackie Mason, and they tend to get outsmarted by ants on a frequent basis.
