This is quite a remarkable video.
Of course, it's faked, just like the moon landings, but still.

Why is it for eight years cartoonists did their utmost to charichturize Bush as a chimp when Ahmedinejad looks like a disheveled chimp in a bad suit with hardly any help...?

The White Album is such a great recording- so musically diverse. And I love how Tommy has done justice to every Beatles song I've ever heard him play.

Because Bush is an American patriot and they hate those more than they hate raving Islamists. Bad, suicidal, sick.

Charles, I would like to suggest a quote from Isaac Asimov, who was quoting someone far more special:
Against stupidity, the Gods Themselves contend in vain.
Pray keep that in mind when you contend against the many morons you encounter in your day-to-day activities, and know for certain that we've got your back. Check Six is not a problem when we're on the case.

Because lefties find it far more insulting than conservatives ever did.
Chimpy McBushitler was a lefty icon. Anything related to chimps and leftist heroes like Obama and Ahmadinnerjacket are abominations not to be tolerated.

The other night I was thinking about George Harrison, John Lennon and The Beatles.
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it need sweeping
Still my guitar gently weepsI don't know why nobody told you
how to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
they bought and sold youI look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weepsI don't know how you were diverted
you were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
no one alerted youI look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps
George Harrison

From a reader whose IP address traces to the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services:
Charles,
I am amused to find you bored enough to go back to the whole Vlaams
Belang controversy to stir the pot back up and get some clicks. Truth
be told, I hadn't visited this site in some time since you threw your
first fit over the GoV actually getting off their asses and doing
something tangible, as opposed to what it is you do. But I saw this
Washington Post article on Fark.com mentioning LGF a few days back and
it piqued my interest on what was going on back here. Nice to see not
much has changed, although a review of some of your recent headlines
seems to suggest you've turned even more against your adopted political
hosts, specifically your recent "Creationist" rants. I've even seen you
attempt to use the term as an insult. It of course proves me prescient;
I correctly identified back when I left LGF that as time progresses from
9/11 your ingrained leftist tendencies would retake. The reason
Republicans have been losing elections, by the way, has nothing to do
with "Creationists" or "Paulians" or whatever. It's because of folks
like you. You're the folks who went running for the GOP after 9/11,
bringing in this entire neo-conservative philosophy of big government
used to fund foreign wars in perpetuity. As someone who was solidly
conservative long before 9/11 ever occurred, I find it fascinating that
someone with a solid intellect like you fails to understand that you're
the odd man out here. Quite frankly, you've become the Perez Hilton of
the conservative blogosphere, which is amusing in its own right. For
the record, I'd rather ally myself with the folks who adhere to
intelligent design and supporters of Ron Paul than someone who seeks to
effectively eliminate the core competency of the conservative side of
the American political spectrum, namely: 1) smaller government, 2) lower
taxes, and 3) isolationist foreign policy as espoused by, say, the U.S.
Constitution. How you believe your ancestors sprang into being from
nothingness doesn't really come into the equation, and certainly doesn't
warrant the level of vitriol you fling at the issue. Keep doing what it
is you're doing; it's good for a laugh every now and then.- John

What those of us who are trying to resist.
The Jihad.
As well as any creationist tomfoolery.
Really, really needed was loud tantrum.
Convincing everyone that to accept.
The truth of evolution.
Is to become a mendacious and amoral coward.
With severe difficulty with the truth.

Can anyone deconstruct this:

This is known in scientific circles as a "vowel movement". It's an involuntary reflex coupled with a fear of all forms of punctuation and sentence structuring. It happens among those for whom English is a first language and ones afflicted with PPDS--Political Party Dissipation Syndrome. That's where you see the party in which you have so much emotional investment going down the tubes and you gravitate to the most outlandish fragments of that party in order to keep it going. It's sad, really.

Here's a song for the emailers listening in:
On a day like today
We pass the time away
Writing love letters in the sand
How you laughed when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters from the sand
You made a vow that you would ever be true
But somehow that vow meant nothing to you
Now my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand

45 minutes? I lived in Ulster County for a year. Brooklyn for 8 years or so.
I can understand you not wanting to go back in. It's like re-living the shock of the event. You know in the ensuing months I was in a bit of shock.
That day I drove to work and turned on the radio and couldn't believe my ears. At first I thought: what is this a play or something? I'm not kidding I really thought they were doing some kind of "War of the Worlds" thing on the jazz station I listened to. Then it hit me: this is really happening. When I got to work they had the TV on and when they replayed the WTC collapsing, I just started sobbing.

I went to Ground Zero in 2005, having been all the way over here in Manila on 9/11. The place was so profoundly silent for New York City and it was easy to understand why. It was a silence complimented only by the flute-playing of that one old firefighter guy.
It was also my first experience with twoofers. I was like "wtf lol" until I ran into one of the more violently-fanatical types on a gaming forum. In trying to kick his ass all over the place with actual facts I ended up on Screw Loose Change, and then ended up following a link here.

When I got to work they had the TV on and when they replayed the WTC collapsing, I just started sobbing.
I heard a bulletin in newsradio880, and ran into the living room, half asleep, without my slippers on (a no-no for a diabetic), and turned on the TV...I, too, could not believe my eyes. I screamed, and my husband actually woke up, as I screamed so loud. When he came running, all I could do was point at the screen. We had a daughter, and 2 of our 3 sons working in Manhattan...when the second building went down? I still cry envisioning it. I thought, when Tower 1 was hit, that it would be like the plane that hit the Empire State Building decades ago...I was still in such a state of shock that my husband had to test my blood glucose, give me my insulin, and feed me. He was trying to be calm, and at least to put on my slippers.
Until we heard from our kids? The first one to call was at that time a bank manager at the Chase Bank near Bloomies, (he is now an attorney) and had phone service. He had heard from my daughter in law, who worked in a high rise in mid-town, and she was walking to the bank. She wears a pacemaker, BTW. They planned to sleep at a friend's condo in the city, who works in CT, as they live on the Island, and no cars could, at that point, exit or enter, and there was no public transportation. My oldest granddaughter was just over a year old, but had a nanny living with them.
Later on, when they allowed outgoing traffic, they actually hitched a ride with a stranger.
The next kid to call was the youngest son, who worked way uptown, and actually emailed us to let us know he was OK, and our only daughter walked across the bridge from midtown to Astoria, and could not use her mobile..the tower that held techies from the local channels and phone service had gone down. She was able to call from home.
That left our oldest son, who lives and works in NJ. He never said a word until a few years ago..he was driving to give a speech, on the NJT, and pulled over to the side with so many others, as they saw it across the river. His boss called and told him to go home. My daughter in law was at home, thank G-d, that day, as she worked for NBC...and was safe at home.
I still cannot wipe the memories away, and when we go on the bridges, I do not look across the river.
BTW, our daughter, son in law and toddler son live in Brooklyn. She married post-9/11.
Our middle granddaughter was not yet born..and lives in NJ.
That so many people, right here in the metropolitan area choose to forget 9/11? That scares me so much. There are far too many children growing up here (Westchester County) that lost 1 or both parents.
Those who forget history...

I've been a little uneasy from time to time. It comes in waves. I hope that the people in the DoD and those serving in the military are willing to come forward if they perceive a threat from his policies and warn us in due time -- if it comes to that. I know that there are limits to that sector of the government but it can be seen as a form of checks and balances. Beyond that it is also up to other sectors of the government and its citizens to remain vigilant.
However, one of the things I find perplexing is that Obama seems to be sending mixed messages to the intelligence community. On the one hand doing the right thing while on the other doing the wrong thing. I don't know what the balance of that is but allowing the release of the interrogation memos was a severe break of trust. The more recent threat of prosecution is also a break of trust. This applies to the civil sector of the intelligence community so one has to wonder how this will apply within the DoD if you consider the presence of leftist activists Obama has placed in the Pentagon: Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Michele Flournoy.

Jake was at Dimitriou's Jazz Alley in Seattle a week or two ago.
Had to work, missed his show. Dang.
I'm still trying to figure out how he gets that sound from the ukelele.
Not sure if he sold his soul to the devil, or if he's from another planet, taking human form.
