Iran immortalizes another terrorist:

Shehad Imad Mugniyah Street is named after the mysterious top Hezbollah military commander who was killed in a car bomb in Damascus on February 12, 2008, an operation that Hezbollah has blamed on Israel. Mugniyah, who held a prominent place on American and Israeli most-wanted lists for years, allegedly spearheaded a string of attacks in the 1980s and 1990s, including the abduction of Western hostages in Lebanon, a plane hijacking and an attack on a Jewish retirement home in Argentina.

Well, I Googled for it and, TO MY SURPRISE, the results that came up on the first page were NO LONGER THERE. Darn! Now, I know that Google would never change search priorities to obscure information(sarc), so I'm just stumped. Any help, Lizards?

Sincerely,
NelsFree

It's not an economic theory.

re: #175 albusteve

No worries. I used to "chat" with her, until, well, you know the rest of the story.

re: #143 Jim in Virginia

"One move and the African American gets it"?

Are they bleeping it or dubbing it with asinine stuff?

"We cant afford to lose any horses! Send a couple of African American Fellows"

"Good morning ma'am, and isn't it a lovely morning?"
"Up yours African American Gentleman!"

We all have our faults.

re: #170 albusteve

See? That's your problem. You don't have firm opinions.

re: #163 Cognito

I don't think anyone could seriously deny the brilliance behind Outkast.

But they speak of many things less noble than, er, "the voice of the voiceless."

My favorite hip-hop album of all time is Deltron 3030, with Del Tha Funkee Homosapian and Dan The Automator. A futuristic interspectacular tour de force!

re: #179 screaming_eagle

I'm wondering what their minimum donation is? And do they have an atm?

re: #184 ArchangelMichael

Just deleted the word. No bleeping, just silence.

re: #170 albusteve

hip hop is only barely considered music...and only then by it's adherents...trash, all of it...I said so

I personally don't consider most of it music. Tolerable. Occasionally. Brilliant. Never.

re: #185 ArmyWife

We all have our faults.

I'm not here to be popular...my role is to educate the stupid people...

re: #152 albusteve

Queen was pretty original imo....Bowie has very limited talents for making music

The spiders from Mars are going to get you for that.

re: #153 MandyManners

At the National Press Club?

Here is the NPC calendar for Feb.
Don't see his name.

that's what I'm affraid of...fuckers are everywhere!

Well, that's what you get for messing with Major Tom.

It's all I can muster just now.

Hi Lazards. Missed Rush's CPAC speech. Anything stand out?

See or read the whole thing. He was inspired!

Paul Harvey always told the most interesting stories on the radio. He will be missed by me.

I would only need them to accept checks.

Well, he was there. Someone who wants to ban a book spoke at the National Press Club. Unfathomable.

re: #197 ConservatismNow!

I always look like a geek when I dance to that song

You better not mess with Major Tom.

re: #201 albusteve

BananaRama, three women singing in unison. I never got that one.

re: #202 MandyManners

I tried searching the NPC site for his name, but nothing came up.

David Bowie wrote "All the Young Dudes", Mott the Hoople.

I think you are supposed to sit down enjoy some herb on that tune.

I always try to pick on them when I get the chance...gadzooks what poseurs

re: #131 Charles

That's an excellent article, IMO. Fair and judicious, w/ a good summary of the problems.

more on the Cassel trade to the Chiefs. According to Peter King from SI:

The move leaves the Patriots with three second-round picks in the 2009 draft and, as usual, puts New England in position to be a power-broker on draft day. No team has more than New England's four first-day draft choices; the Pats also have their own pick in the first round.

That could be why they so readily accepted a 2nd round pick.

Well, I have embarassed myself in front of you all. Pardon me for misspelling Povin as Plovin. Thank you to all you Lizards for pointing out the correct names and providing the link to Discover The Networks' article. Now I have to apologize to Google. Stick a fork in me.

I personally think this is excellent "Hip Hop".

I detest hip-hop. And rap. I'm old-fashioned, I guess. I like music with a recognizable tune and recognizable, non-obscene non-profane words. Humor helps ... I wish I still had my Oscar Brand aviation-music records!

Maybe they didn't want to advertise his appearance for some reason.

re: #169 Cognito

It's a conspiracy theory. Don't bother.

Oh, really?

Did you read the story Charles linked?

This is no lie: I saw seven wolves this morning not far from my house. And in the last month, they've killed two deer and an elk on our road.

What wierds me out is the I never saw a wolf before January 20. Now I have them at my back door.

Mere coincidence? I think not.

re: #212 NelsFree

Not till you've gotten a good smoke on you. I may poke you with a thermometer at hour 4 just to see if you're close to 130 degrees.

I had a flock of wild turkeys in my yard about the same time. Can't possibly be coincidence.

Bonnie Raitt is a national treasure...people don't know all there is to her...she is a MONSTER guitarist

Awesome guitarist, and a raging moonbat.

re: #209 albusteve

the problem with that is how long before no one gets it anymore kinda like when my old man would make references to pre ww2 cowboys and me and my other teenage buddies would look at him puzzled wondering why he thought he just made a great satirical joke.

background: my dad had me late in life (his late 40's)

re: #228 CapeCoddah

I know. And the other weird thing is that the faces are interchangeable, right?

LOL. Never!

If you have two minutes, Arlo Guthrie will explain why and how, Bob Dylan wrote the first rap.

Actually, I did. Remember, "Beans, beans, good for your heart?" That was mine!

Ahh, the classics!

re: #213 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Agree.

re: #221 shiek al beif salami

a couple months ago I had a pack of coyotes about 8 or 9 sweep across my acerage in a long sweeping line 50-60 foot apart like little soldiers with others at the edge making a really hair raising noise and I will tell you, these coyotes were not small! they easily looked all of 60-70 pounds! which is pretty f-n big for a coyote! (colorado)

re: #240 albusteve

I've been taking guitar lessons. You must have misunderstood.: )

re: #245 kansas

good for you...keep at it and play a little every day...I admire that

re: #244 rumcrook

These wolves are now killing coyotes and cougars here.

I found the fresh elk kill midmorning, and it was gone by evening.

I carry a shotgun when I go walking these days.

re: #220 MandyManners

Did you read the story Charles linked?

I skimmed it... but there is a disconnect between the claim in that article and the information (or lack thereof) on the NPC site... This disconnect probably would be worth a deeper investigation but I don't have time now.

re: #229 albusteve

Sorry, but guitar skill isn't my definition of national treasure. Yes, I know, I'm nekulturniy.

re: #46 Miss Molly

screaming eagle -- your new California neighbors are going to be much more than "moonbats". I hope they are just only "moonbats" and not much more but I fear for you. When they ring your front door bell just run out the back door.

Nah. Just rack a round.

Something about that sound......

too bad for you...American people invented the blues and it's worldwide popularity is certainly noteworthy....so was Louis Armstrong just another guy?...Bessie Smith?...Robert Johnson?

BB King, John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters? GOLD. SOLID GOLD.

Obama Saturday day address.

We sought a government that served not the interests of powerful lobbyists or the wealthiest few, but the middle-class Americans I met every day in every community along the campaign trail – responsible men and women who are working harder than ever, worrying about their jobs, and struggling to raise their families. In so many town halls and backyards, they spoke of their hopes for a government that finally confronts the challenges that their families face every day; a government that treats their tax dollars as responsibly as they treat their own hard-earned paychecks.

That is the change I promised as a candidate for president. It is the change the American people voted for in November. And it is the change represented by the budget I sent to Congress this week.

[snip]

This budget also reflects the stark reality of what we’ve inherited – a trillion dollar deficit, a financial crisis, and a costly recession. Given this reality, we’ll have to be more vigilant than ever in eliminating the programs we don’t need in order to make room for the investments we do need. I promised to do this by going through the federal budget page by page, and line by line. That is a process we have already begun, and I am pleased to say that we’ve already identified two trillion dollars worth of deficit-reductions over the next decade. We’ve also restored a sense of honesty and transparency to our budget, which is why this one accounts for spending that was hidden or left out under the old rules.

GAH!

Don't worry. 0bama will tell them to unclench their teeth.
Wait, that doesn't sound right.

re: #251 MandyManners

Why would the reporters lie?

I'm not saying he did. But if there really was a "packed audience" as some claim, then I wonder why the event isn't noticed on the NPC website?

re: #247 shiek al beif salami

oh crap cougers? I dig older chicks, thats too bad..

wheres here? we only have a few wolves dispersed in the mountains in colorado... and im positive the coyotes over the last 80-100 years have grown bigger to fit the apex predator role around here going after antelope and not just jackrabbits

To be more clear... my current thought is that Wilders was at the NPC facility in DC, which the NPC lease out to various groups and not only use for their own official NPC meetings.
