NADER'S HOUSE OF HORRORS

...Ralph Nader says an architectural firm is now "putting final touches on the plans" for his dream of a lifetime: a museum in his hometown of Winsted, Conn.

...

It will be — yes — a celebration of tort law.

You know, like the case that won $2.9 million for the woman who spilled a hot cup of McDonald's coffee in her lap.

Or the fellow who convinced a jury he deserved $3.6 million when he got falling-down drunk and lost an arm to an oncoming subway train.

Gee, I'd love to visit later this summer, but I can either take a vacation or pay my auto insurance bill.

Hmm, I'm only 70 miles away and it's not-a-cloud-in-the-sky clear here. A balmy 77 degrees and a slight breeze.

What in G_d's name am I doing indoors!?!

#1 Totally Sirius

It's a Hamlet-cloud.

Hamlet: Do you see that cloud, that's almost in shape like a camel?
Polonius: By the mass, and 't is like a camel, indeed.
Hamlet: Methinks, it is like a weasel.
Polonius: It is backed like a weasel.
Hamlet: Or, like a whale?
Polonius: Very like a whale.

Are those damned Paleo-stinians burning tires again?

Cloud 1: So Bill, we attack tomorrow.
Cloud 2: Yes...tomorrow

Cloud 1: I mean it this time.
Cloud 2: I do too.

Trouble in the magic kingdom.

...What happens after Fahd's death is of concern. Should Abdullah become king, as only a half-brother of the Sudairi Seven, the powerful brothers might see it as a loosening of their control over their power base.
The Sudairis come from the same mother, Hassa bint Ahmad al-Sudairi, and are: Fahd bin Abd al-Aziz, the king and prime minister; Sultan bin Abdul-Aziz, second vice minister and minister of defense and aviation; Abd al-Rahmam bin Abd al-Aziz, vice minister of defense; Na'if bin Abd al-Aziz, interior minister; Ahmad bin Abd al-Aziz, interior vice minister ; Salman bin Abd al-Aziz, governor of Riyadh; and Turki bin Abd al-Aziz. Together, they form the most powerful alliance in the kingdom.
Abdullah is "only" a half-brother to the Sudairi Seven. His mother was al-Fadha bint Asi al-Shuraim.
Saudi analysts believe Abdullah "will find it impossible to wrest the throne away from the Sudairis, who many feel want to maintain power" within their branch of the family.
According to the Saudi Institute, the struggle between the Sudairis and Abdullah, if one were to occur, "would pose a greater threat to the regime than the violence the government faced from Islamist militants" last summer. That remains to be seen. But it is clear the death of the king of Saudi Arabia will, if nothing else, affect the region's markets. ...

That pic says plenty about the death cult, but the caption says a lot about Reuters.

The U.S. military has identified five incidents of 'mishandling of a Koran' by U.S. personnel at Guantanamo Bay, but found no credible evidence that the Muslim holy book had been flushed down a toilet, the commander of the prison said on Thursday.

The thing is that they found the Kookyran did get a swirly, from a muslim activist. Because it wasn't done by an American, it did not happen. If an American had done it, and even if they hadn't, it should be reported that we did do it because we had not yet proved that we hadn't done it. These are the same rules that Amnesty International uses to detect huge networks of labor/torture camps.

I want a "Jihadis Flushed Koran" headline. Reuters will never give it to me. Neither will WaPo, NYT, CBS, etc...

housands of US soldiers desert rather than fight or die for Bush in Iraq

The Irish government are complicit in the deaths of these U.S. soldiers, not to mention the 100,000 or so Iraqis the troops have slaughtered. In 2004 more than 158,000 US Troops flew through Shannon Airport, most on their way to Iraq. During much of that same period of time approximately 5,500 US Troops have deserted, gone into hiding, been sent to jail and some have escaped to Canada. Another 1,700 have deserted their posts in Iraq itself.

Here's a killer.
The Northeastern Federation of Anarcho-Communists in their "struggle for a classless, stateless, non-hierarchical society" has this narrative posted as their latest action item:

First action, first victory for the Workers Solidarity Network!

Montreal. May 16th 2005 -- Last Friday, the new Workers Solidarity Network organised and won its first workplace action. Approximately 40 people showed up at Double Pizza, a restaurant located on the corner of St-Denis and Ontario streets to demand money that hadn't been paid to a former employee.
The employee, an immigrant worker, led the action. When arriving, he asked to speak with the boss, who showed up a few minutes later to adress the situation. After the grievance was explained and 60$ was demanded, it took only a few seconds for the boss to rush to the cash register and gather the money! That was about his only choice, as the restaurant was filled with members of the Solidarity Network and pizza sales were halted.
In a burst of joy we left the pizzeria shouting "so-so-so, solidarité!". We promised to return if other cases of abuse of employees were to happen. "As of today, the bosses terror regime imposed on precarious workers will no longer be tolerated. We are organised and are ready to use any means necessary to defend our rights" said Émilie Pouget, a member of the network.

Yeah, that'll crush the bourgeoisie.

Re: Vaccine-A by Gary Matsumoto

Dear Ms. Clarke:

Just checking to see if there is anything new on the DOD anthrax vaccine issue. As you may remember this is the subject of the book I gave you, Vaccine A.

Since we last talked, the federal court that enjoined the DOD from further use of this vaccine, reached an agreement with the DOD. The DOD may continue to use this vaccine on a voluntary basis as long as they don't coerce military personnel to take it.

This is a partial victory but doesn't address the real underlying issues. Why the big need for the vaccine in the first place? In my last email I outlined my opinion that this was a red herring to cover something else e.g. clinical research trials on vaccine adjuvant squalene using military personnel as test subjects without their informed consent or knowledge. By doing so, avoiding potential liability issues normally encountered with clinical trials. This was done to speed development and beat competitors to market with a new product of potential great economic worth.

All I can say is it's about time. The Sauds are not our friends in the GWOT. See my comments in the thread on the health of King Fahd over at Roger L. Simon's. The question was, "Will this hasten change in Saudi Arabia?"

***

NOPE!

Not until we have a, "Come to Jesus Meeting with the House of Saud." They made a deal with the Devil (The Whabies) to remain in power. In exchange the House of Saud has spent billions exporting this ideology of hate, murder, and torture - Islamofascism.

They have funded and supported the spread of the radical madrassas around the world. These factories churn out new recruits faster than we can eliminate them. This is no religion as we know it.

Amnesty Official: Gulag Claim 'Overheated' [Link: www.newsmax.com...]

An open question:

Can anyone explain the phenomenon of the New York Jewish Democrat? Why would any jew support the same leftists who snicker behind their backs and support the jew-haters?

Any New Yorkers out there? Remember David Dinkins? After the horrific liberal reign of Koch, idiotic New Yorkers elected a retarded racist anti-semite (David Dinkins, that is). Jews overwhelmingly supported him despite his ties to jew haters like Al Sharpton. Dinkins let crime soar and allowed pogroms in Brooklyn (all PREDICTABLE events). Surely jews knew the potential dangers of supporting someone like Dinkins.

Voting in leftist anti-semitic loonies not only endangers jews -- it also infuriates hard working people tring to live in peace without having to worry about wilding thugs and psychotic panhandlers. I can understand the lazy lefties, the dumb lefties, the crazy lefties, but the jewish lefties leave me scratching my head.

I'm feeling slow today. I didn't get Christtheprofessor's joke -- don't all cereal makers make cornflakes in some form or another? -- and I don't know if jwpain's definition of markin/merkin is a joke.

U.S. CHANGES POLICY IN PLEDGE ON 1949 LINES

The Bush administration appears to have revised U.S. policy on the Arab-Israeli conflict.

A report by the Washington Institute said the administration's adoption of the 1949 armstice lines as the recommended borders of Israel could mark a major change in U.S. policy. The report said President George Bush appears to have abandoned U.S. support of United Nations Security Council resolution 242, which called for secure borders for Israel.

"Bush specifically committed the United States to a certain final-status position: the 1949 armistice lines are the starting point, from which any change must be mutually agreed," the report, authored by executive director Robert Satloff, said. "This is a huge advance for the Palestinians."

Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld said Saturday the Al-Jazeera television network promoted terrorism by airing beheadings and other attacks.

"If anyone here lived in the Middle East and watched a network like Al-Jazeera day after day after day, even if you were an American you would begin to believe that America was bad," Rumsfeld told an Asian defense conference.

"Quite honestly, I do not get up in the morning and think that America is what's wrong with the world. The people that are going on television, chopping off people's heads is what's wrong with the world.

"And television networks that carry it and promote it and are Johnny-on-the-spot every time there's a terrorist act are promoting it," he said.

Qatar-based Al-Jazeera, a pan-Arab station, denies it holds any anti-American bias and says it reports the news objectively.

Was there a camera rolling when that was said?

#134 KarmiCommunist - from your link:

" For the first time since controversy erupted over a claim by Amnesty International that the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay is a "gulag," a senior official from that organization is backing away from the charge.

Challenged over use of the incendiary term, Josh Rubenstein, Northeast Regional Director of Amnesty International, called the comparison between Soviet-style death camps and the U.S. facility in Cuba "overheated rhetoric."

Mr. Rubenstein's decision to back away from the gulag comparison stands in marked contrast to comments from Kate Gilmore, Amnesty's deputy secretary general, who defended Khan's remarks on Saturday.

"The issue of the gulag is about policies and practices," she told the New York Times, saying procedures at Guantanamo are "a breach of the Geneva Convention."

Gilmore boasted that the gulag flap had helped publicize Amnesty's findings, explaining, "We're getting more airing of our message than we would have otherwise."

Got it ok, Ms. Gilmore. The end justifies the means. What a novel concept. How did such a morally and intellectually bankrupt person (and her comrade in arms, Ms. Kahn) EVER rise to positions of power in AI?
That is, of course, a rhetorical question.

In other news, an old
post from Alaa the Mesopotamian shines the light of reason on the current kerfuffles:

Hi,

With all due respect to Human Rights Watch and such similar organizations; we find the timing of the report about abuses by the Iraqi security forces against captured terrorist suspects, highly suspicious coming at this particular time. Of course, all acts of brutality against innocents are highly reprehensible and quite unacceptable; however, if it is certain that the suspects in question are some of the be-headers, mass murderers and perpetrators of the daily atrocities and flagrant aggression against a whole people, they deserve to be skinned alive. Moreover, really, to ask for perfect behavior of the security forces in the present circumstances, is like asking for immaculate English eating manners and bow ties at a cannibal feast in the heart of the jungle.

In fact, most of the recent successes in capturing and rounding up terrorists can be attributed to the toughening of interrogation methods used by the Iraqi security forces. That; unfortunately, is the grim reality of the situation. It is a dilemma difficult to resolve.

"The issue of the gulag is about policies and practices," she told the New York Times, saying procedures at Guantanamo are "a breach of the Geneva Convention."

I'm headed to the book store after the kiddo gets home from church. I shouldn't 'cause I always spend too much...but I must. I have re-read everything I own.

Anyone have any recommendations?

According to this...

Spain's prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero faces the first major demonstration against him today when tens of thousands are to march through Madrid demanding he does not negotiate with the Basque terrorist group Eta.

Organisers said at least 200 coaches were due for the march, which has the backing of the main conservative opposition, the People's party.

The march comes more than a year after Mr Zapatero's Socialist party formed a government and a month after the Spanish parliament gave him the go ahead to open talks with Eta if it shows a "clear will" to renounce violence.

"Do not negotiate in my name," is the slogan of a march that was also expected to attract dissident sectors of Mr Zapatero's own party.

The marchers, to be led by relatives of some of the 800 people killed by Eta over the past three decades, will go from the site of one Eta bomb attack in Madrid to another.

Organisers claimed it was not a protest against Mr Zapatero but against any attempt to talk to Eta - a group going through the weakest period of its 30 year history after failing to cause any deaths for two years.

"We want to demonstrate against a policy that we believe is humiliating for the victims of terrorism," explained José Alcaraz, president of the Association of Terrorism Victims.

"I could not live in a place where those who represent me are striking deals with those who nearly killed me," said Irene Villa, who lost both legs in an Eta bomb blast a dozen years ago when she was 12.

But with the People's party throwing its weight behind the demonstration, and the Socialists and their allies calling on their own people to stay away, the march is being measured as a protest against Mr Zapatero.

...Spain is trying to regain its dignity.

POTENTIAL FOR TROPICAL CYCLONE ACTIVITY TO THREATEN FLORIDA (NOT A SURE THING)/TULSA-KANSAS CITY-VERDANT FIELDS OF IOWA TORNADO UPDATE

UKMET shows fairly well defines tropical wave (the one approaching the Lesser Antilles) approaching Yucatan Channel by early Friday.

This is fairly consistent with 0Z UK MET Office Global model. The 0Z Canadian Global showed an actual tropical cyclone in the Bahamas Thursday heading toward Florida. For some reason, Environment Canada only runs the 12Z run of the model to 72 hours. Not sure why. Annoying, however.

Notice at the surface, UKMET starts closing a 1006 mb low in the Western Caribbean.

Note, the 12Z GFS does not show the wave strengthening as it approaches the western Caribbean, and actually seems to pull most of the low level energy with the system northeast away from the Caribbean.

Re the L^x3 aclu? Concerns Arise at A.C.L.U. Over Document Shredding

The American Civil Liberties Union has been shredding some documents over the repeated objections of its records manager and in conflict with its longstanding policies on the preservation and disposal of records.

The matter has fueled a dispute at the organization over internal operations, one of several such debates over the last couple of years, and has reignited questions over whether the A.C.L.U.'s own practices are consistent with its public positions.

The organization has generally advocated for strong policies on record retention and benefited from them, most recently obtaining and publicizing documents from the government about prisoners at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

The debate over the use of shredders is reminiscent of one late last year over the organization's efforts to collect a wide variety of data on its donors, even as it criticizes corporations and government agencies for accumulating personal data as a violation of privacy rights.

Janet Linde, who oversaw the A.C.L.U.'s archives for over a decade until she resigned last month, raised concerns in e-mail messages and memorandums for over two years that officials' use of shredders in their offices made a mockery of the organization's policy to supervise document destruction and created potential legal risks.

"It has been shown in many legal cases over the years, including the Enron case, that if a company has an established and documented shredding program they will not be liable if documents at issue in a lawsuit are found to have been destroyed," Ms. Linde wrote in a 2003 memo. "If, however, the means for unauthorized shredding is present in the office we cannot say that we have made a good faith effort to monitor and document our records disposal process."

Ms. Linde said she was disturbed that her correspondence had become public and declined to comment further. A spokeswoman for the organization, Emily Whitfield, declined to answer specific questions but made the following statement: "The A.C.L.U.'s records management policies have always been of the highest standards in keeping with, if not more stringent than, those of other nonprofits."

The organization refused to address which documents were being shredded, among other questions...

Here's a piece from the Independent in Britain on the continuing machinations by 'Old Europe' and developments since the "no" vote:

[Link: news.independent.co.uk...]

'Old Europe' tries to close ranks against Britain over EU treaty"

"...The fallout from the two EU referendum "no" votes became a full-blown crisis yesterday after efforts by Germany to reform an alliance among the core members were blocked.

"Amid continuing acrimony after the "no" votes in France and the Netherlands, Germany was heading diplomatic efforts to stop Tony Blair killing off the European constitution in all but name. At the same time Berlin and Paris backed new proposals to freeze, then reduce, the British budget rebate, a plan that could put Mr Blair on the defensive on two fronts..."

I think Abraham Lincoln was the most powerful person in history.
His iron will, profound moral vision, and remarkable eloquence held the United States together in a conflict that could easily have gone the other way.
The results are not only still with us; their influence grows with each passing day as his lineal successor, George W. Bush, roots out slavery, superstition, and oppression in all parts of the world.

I noticed the article mentions a couple of time that CU's credibility is on the line over this issue. A little reminder on their part.

When I was out there last February there was some stats on their dwindling (out of state especially) enrollment due to previous scandals.
If they sweep this under the rug it can only further damage their "reputation".

What was that thing Ward said about "chickens coming home to roust"?

Shiplord Kirel:

Slavery really is an evil disgusting business; it corrupts the very people who participate in it and the abuses it engenders in the traders, dealers and all practitioners in slaving are at the base of some of the most corrupt and evil regimes and it's not all in the past. The worst are happening right now. It's so evil and disgusting that the UN isn't squarely against this. They are a useless organization that was originally forged to combat this type of thing.

Damn, y'all keep posting these links to these great articles. I can't keep up with them all...

We all grew up in the heart of tornado alley, and we are all weather watchers and well informed.

But if it's an F4-F5 tornado when it gets to the metro area, the only reasonably safe place is underground, and sometimes that's not easy to do.

I'm worried. May of 99 was a true horror, the most destructive tornado outbreak on record. And ground zero was south and SE of OKC. My family was less than 4 miles from an F5 tornado, more than half a mile wide, that completely destroyed everything in its path. And I mean everything. Bare foundations where houses stood.

Most people ran away or went underground, and the majority that hunkered down in safe zones in foundation homes were spared, but not all. Like what could be the case this time, there was a long warning time, which is common today for the most destructive long-track tornadoes.

Many hundreds, if not more than a thousand people were seriously injured, but it was a true miracle that the entire outbreak only killed 43 people. The most impactful video I've seen of that tornado convinced me that if I'd been in the direct path when that monster came, I wouldn't have been a direct victim, I'd have died of a heart attack before it ever hit me.

#238

That path is right through my family's neighborhood. And it's much closer to OKC than Ardmore, trust me.

Heat, dust and the hunt

AL-JAZIRAH DESERT, Iraq – For six months, the cavalrymen of the Stryker brigade had hunted a suspected smuggler and terrorist known as Abu Anwar.

They believe he is one point of a triangle connecting the Iraqi cities of Mosul and Biaj with smugglers across the border in Syria. The smugglers move guns and materials for use in suicide bombings against Iraqi and U.S. forces.

“He’s a guy who trains, recruits and equips foreign fighters,” said Maj. Bryan Denny, the executive officer with the Fort Lewis brigade’s 2nd Squadron, 14th Cavalry Regiment.

But they’ve never been able to nab him in and around Tal Afar, a city of 200,000 where the Cav normally operates.

So this past week the Rattlesnakes, as the 2-14 is known, fanned out across the heart of the Al-Jazirah Desert. It’s where Anwar’s tribesmen dwell in primitive villages and secluded shepherd’s tents.

For six days, the squadron’s 500 scouts trekked beyond their normal boundaries all the way south to the Euphrates River, 185 miles away.

It was here they hoped to find their prey, in a place he might feel most at ease because they’ve seldom pursued him there.

They’d not likely get a better chance to track him across his desert home. After this, the squadron would be moving to Mosul with the rest of the 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, for operations in the city of 2 million. ...

Confrontation with West? Are you kidding!

And I have the "Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Thursday, 2 June 2005" which is incredibly twisted.

I can't figure another reason they'd always be scratching them.

It's probably a typo. They meant "merkins" or pubic wigs.

Hence, the banner should read "Destroy Devil Pubic Wigs!"

I would have thought less of you if you hadn't...

Pubic Wigs? Since when?

Shit, I gotta get a life...

Hey, if you would, would you pop me an e-mail, pls? I have a question...

What - exactly - is a pubic wig? And why would someone require one?

Hey Chris, shoot me an email at Sane.Aladin@gmail.com I got some pictures to share with you.

Let me know your address so I knows it's you...

From The Straight Dope:

'What exactly is a "merkin"? Ever since the word was thrust into my consciousness it's been tormenting me. My Oxford English Dictionary defines it as the "female pudendum," which seems a trifle sedate, given the listed quote of 1714, "This put a strange Whim in his Head; which was, to get the hairy circle of her Merkin ... This he dry'd well and comb'd out, and then return'd to the Cardinal, telling him, he had brought Saint Peter's Beard."

'And it's downhill from there. The OED "b" definition says a merkin is a "counterfeit hair for women's privy parts," and another dictionary calls it a "pubic hair wig." I've heard of niche markets, but this is ridiculous. My own interest in the word isn't just academic, as I'd like to make use of the fine quote of 1680, "Or wear some stinking Merkin for a Beard," but I want to make damn sure I know what the original item was. --Andrew Scheinman, Los Angeles'

--Nobody told Carnegie Hall about this.

"pubic wigs"

Yikes! And I thought the chest toupee was pretty extreme.

I'm thinking it would be pubic baldness, which by the way, I'm the chairman of the citizens against pubic baldness, CAPB, if you'd like to make a donation...

Can you just use the one when you click my nic?

Shoot! jwpaine #86 beat me to it!

I thought I'd finally hit on a piece of knowledge so arcane, no lizard would mention it.

Silly me.
