BBC Rabble Rousing

The BBC indulges in some anti-American hand-wringing, with a scandalously misleading headline: US begins entry checks on Muslims. This is utter nonsense, as I’m sure the BBC is well aware—because their own sidebar makes it clear who is actually being checked on entry:

Those affected by the new policy:

* all nationals of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan and Syria
* non-immigrant foreign nationals who present an elevated national security risk
* foreign nationals identified by INS inspectors

I don’t see “Muslims” on that list. Do you? I guarantee that not one person is being asked their religion on entry into the US; our politically correct policies make that impossible. Shame on the BBC for deliberately stirring up more conflict.

 Frank says:

The family was from Arkansas. The Dad (Dink) was a furniture salesman in San Bernardino, but back in the way-back-when he used to play 'bones' or 'spoons' in a minstrel show. To relive the golden days of yesteryear he would, from time to time, force his children to accompany him (Ronnie on guitar, Kenny on trombone) in a living room replay of a minstrel routine called "Lazy Bones."

The kids often found this to be an inconvenience, as they were fascinated by, and constantly perfecting new techniques for, The Manly Art Of Fart-Burning. Kenny explained to me that it was scientific - that it demonstrated (this is a real quote) "Compression, ignition, combustion and exhaust." -- Kenny & Ronnie Williams (later immortalized in "Let's Make The Water Turn Black").
