Cute...In that it is vulnerable and blissfully unaware of its appearance.

It's like a bulldog. It goes so far off the ugly scale and returns to cute.

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?

I'll take 3, one for each floor of the house.

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.

When will the Muslim zoo keepers go on strike and demand monetary damages because the zoo houses the dreaded porcine looking aardvark?

Those were the days...

I do believe that critter ain't properly inflated!

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.

Why is that bad?
All my kids have Biblical names.

Oh, I was thinking you'd named him "Smedley".

Never mind.

Ooooh. A pandemic?

re: #175 lawhawk

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

OK...First, let me say that this is one of the cutest things I have ever seen! OMG I want one!

Second, although I am not Jewish, after all I have been reading these past few days..."Wherever I stand, I stand with Israel". That is the reason for my new avatar.

re: #207 Iron Fist

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.

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".

re: #162 Sharmuta

There's a college team that does that.

Whats wrong with the goofy gophers?

LGF is doing some strange things for me right now. It could be the computer I'm using. IE 6.x on XP.

Whatever you do, don't count on that goddamn thing to open the pod bay doors.

LGF isn't doing it. IE 6.x is.
Misbehaves as of some changes Charles made "recently" (30 days?).
I'm surprised it hasn't acted up before now.

Upgrade to Firefox or Safari ... those two seem to be "the popular choice".
I'm using Firefox.

Just looking at him is aardvark...

Awww...

This must be a picture of Cerebus as a baby!

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.

I think they're using Windows for Workgroups.

re: #223 Iron Fist

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.

So lets say you are going over the grapevine at midnight at 80/MPH and you get the blue screen of death..
Do you call tech support?

And if the airbag fails, you get a Blue Screen of Death

re: #228 Iron Fist

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.
press 6 My blood pressure exceeds 400/200.. should i order extra cheese?
press 7 LOL

Screw aardvarks -- capybaras rule!

Capybara looks like a gerbil with both a press agent and a friend who knows a friend of Barry Bonds.

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

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.

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.

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

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

re: #80 IslandLibertarian

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.

Charles...
There's your argument against intelligent design...

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

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: #246 flagpony

He does have the ears nailed.
And minus the annoying nose wart.
/snark/

re: #24 BlueCanuck

It's like a bulldog. It goes so far off the ugly scale and returns to cute.

/bracing self for pain.

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.

/shows himself out

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.

re: #11 rawmuse

I'd eat that.

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

hmmm... Aardvark stew anyone?

JKJK... don't start shooting me just yet! LOL

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.
