Religion of Silly Seething

Here’s a followup to yesterday’s post about a Muslim Burger King employee who threatened a jihad over a design for an ice cream package that resembled the Arabic symbol for “Allah.”

Burger King promptly capitulated and removed the product from their stores.

Today The Sun published a picture of the dastardly dessert. (Hat tip: zulubaby.)

I used to support Obamacare
It's all about the paper. For many years I have been among that class of citizens anxiously desiring health insurance coverage for all Americans. I'd thought my reasons were sound: the country is fabulously wealthy; if we can afford luxurious salaries for sports people, media personalities, Wall Street financiers, the least we can do is ensure a minimal standard of life for the least ...

Because It’s There, Just Less of It Than There Was
Chalk up another victory for the Great Climate Change Hoax, and all those greedy scientists who invented it so they can get rich on grant money while they force oil company executives to sell apples on the sidewalk and sleep on steam grates. Mount Everest is melting. A warming climate is melting the glaciers of Mount Everest, shrinking the frozen cloak of Earth's ...

Republican GOP Congressman loves Gangsta Rap Group Public Enemy
Rep. Trey Radel (R-FL) told NowThisNews on Wednesday that he loves “so-called gangsta rap,” and especially hip-hop group Public Enemy, because he feels the song “Fight the Power” somehow mirrors his own struggles in Washington, D.C. and the scandals of the Obama administration. “This is a song that came out really, if you really get down to it, in many reflects the conservative ...

Your Weekly Peggy Noonan Three Martini Column
We are in the midst of the worst Washington scandal since Watergate. The reputation of the Obama White House has, among conservatives, gone from sketchy to sinister, and, among liberals, from unsatisfying to dangerous. No one likes what they're seeing. The Justice Department assault on the Associated Press and the ugly politicization of the Internal Revenue Service have left the administration's credibility deeply, ...

4 Things We Should Remember When Arguing About Politics
Political discourse in America has reached levels of douchebaggery previously only theorized about but never observed, like conversational dark matter.

LAPD Reformed as Federal Oversight Lifted, City Leaders Say
Los Angeles leaders say the Los Angeles Police Department has undergone a dramatic transformation since federal oversight of the agency was ordered 12 years ago.

What to do in Orange County - LA - San Diego
Seems a good way to solicit ideas for touristing destinations and activities. Will have 4-5 days so some opportunity for visiting multiple sites. And since I do have an interest in history and military history items in that area will be welcome suggestions. (The USS Midway down in San Diego is already on the list.) If there is anything California-geology related that would be ...
