So would one refer to Gaza literally turning into a cesspool poetic or ironic? I often confuse those 2 terms.

I would call it poetic justice, as the terrorists in control spend an untold amount of money on weapons to kill Jews rather than on their own, who they leave in poverty.

#5 phoenixgirl

You are so right. That is exactly what is is, and they will not change. They hate is so much that they will stop at nothing to kill as many Jewish Israelis as possible. Meanwhile? They let this happen...no doubt the U.N et al will only hand over more money.

Now that's a turban.

Ironic is when the exact opposite happens from what one would expect.

I believe Malaysia and Indonesia may be the closest there is but we also give them hugely preferential tariff treatment and if we took our marbles away they'd likely collapse. I just don't think we give them military support.

Well, wait a sec....we saved Indonesia's ass in the tsunami, didn't we ?

Ah, so once again an incident which twelve hours ago was indecent to joke about is blown wide open. Good.

I am almost expecting Hamas to hire Ray Nagin as a consultant now.

Although I think the cartoon is a little pedestrian in light of all of the riffing on the previous Poonamistan thread.

That stuff has been running in the streets of Gaza for a long time now.

Gaza City Mayor Majid Abu Ramadan, who leads a council of Gaza municipalities, blamed the collapse on endemic lawlessness.

He accused local residents of stealing the dirt and selling it to building companies for 300 shekels ($A86.80) a truckload.

Best definition I know: Irony is the perception of the gap between appearance and reality.

The irony here is that, in this situation, the usual, expected distance between metaphor and reality has vanished. "Gaza is a cesspool" has become a literal statement of fact instead of a figure of speech.

I'd call it, "Life imitates Art."

The leftists whine and complain about the treatment of the palistinians, so my question came from that point of view.

This is one of those editorial cartoons you're not sure how to react to - you know the taste is highly questionable but you know it's the utter truth too. My reaction is similar to when I see Palestinian children dressed in fatigues, holding rifles and RPGs.

There's a part of you that knows it's a grave injustice. There's another part that knows before too awful long, the bullseye will be painted on their chest from an American or Jewish scope just to save ourselves. It's undeniable.

Ancient Lizard Missing Front Limbs

Described in the current issue of the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, the snake-like lizard had a small head and willowy body. Extending 10 to 12 inches from snout to tail, the aquatic creature also sported a lengthy neck and relatively large rear limbs. Missing were all the bones of its forearms, including the hands and digits found in modern lizards.

The oddball creature, Adriosaurus microbrachis, is a member of a lineage of lizards thought to be snakes' closest relatives.

“It adds to the picture we have of what was happening 100 million years ago,” said lead researcher Michael Caldwell, a paleontologist at the University of Alberta, in Canada. “We now know that losing limbs isn't a new thing and that lizards were doing it much earlier than we originally thought.”

The new fossil reveals the earliest record of this limb-shedding in a lizard and gives scientists a rare glimpse back to the time when terrestrial lizards evolved to be limbless and returned to their watery origins. In fact, the ancestors of all animals lived in aquatic and marine environments

Top story on Michelle Malkin:

The Protect John Doe Act

House Republicans today surprised Democrats with a procedural vote to protect public-transportation passengers from being sued if they report suspicious activity -- the first step by lawmakers to protect "John Doe" airline travelers already targeted in a lawsuit by Muslim imams that charges profiling.

The introduction of a motion to recommit the Rail and Public Transportation Security Act of 2007 back to committee with instructions to add the protective language was introduced by Rep. Peter T. King, New York Republican and ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee.

Mr. King says all Americans, airline passengers included, must be protected from lawsuits if they report suspicious behavior that may foreshadow a terrorist attack.

...The language is based on a bill introduced last week by Rep. Steve Pearce, New Mexico Republican, to protect "John Does," or passengers targeted in the suit filed by six Muslim imams earlier this month in Minneapolis.

This is a more disgusting version of the Johnstown Flood. People warned for years that the dam above Johnston was poorly made and eventually would burst. No one did anything about it. The prediction came true. In the exact same way, foreign aid agencies pointed out repeatedly that the Gaza sewage lake would eventually overflow. Hamas and the PA, of course, did nothing about it. They took their hundreds of millions of dollars in aid and spent it on weaponry and corruption. The infrastructure went to pot.

What can you do with a people that destroy themselves over and over?

The Israelis left the Gazans greenhouses and beautiful subdivisions when they withdrew. Now the place is literally covered in shit. (Their own shit, mind you.) Palestine is a place where metaphors aren't even needed any more.

"VETO!"
"BUSH SAYS MORE WAR"
"NO WITHDRAWAL; TROOP SURGE INCREASES" with a sub-headline "X dozen killed in car bombings outside Baghdad".

I'll bet cash money that they're prepping the headlines, greasing the "Expert" rolodexes, and looking for Iraqis on the Street right this minute. Oh sure, they won't call it a set-up, or Pre-Fab Journalism. They'll call it "strategy" or "anticipating the story".

Yeah, of course. But what I'm zeroing in on is this: lots of these Dems used to say that we can't set timetables. Now they've voted for timetables. They caved because they're trying to get the shrieking nutroots, their insanely leftist constituents, off their backs. "See? We tried, but Bush vetoed it (now shut up and go away)."

81 Shiplord Kirel
I can tell you about the city of Gaza in pre-Roman times. A proud, wealthy seaport. Always put up a tough fight against invaders. When Alexander conquered Syria/Judea/Palestine, Gaza put up a stiff resistance and was taken with great difficulty. Gaza was originally a Philistine city, and it kept its distinctly non-Jewish culture and character all through the Persian and Greek eras. They were big trading partners with Egypt and therefore consistently loyal to Egypt. Basically, a big pain in Judea's ass. That's something that has never changed. What is different is that ancient Gaza actually had something to proud of.

Quebec voters show conservative streak
[Link: www.ft.com...]

Quebeckers have delivered a strong message to their politicians that they have grown weary of the decades-old debate on secession from Canada.

Voters in the French-speaking province’s elections on Monday punished the two traditional parties, relegating the ruling Liberals to a minority government and giving the separatist Parti Québécois (PQ) its lowest share of the vote since the 1970s. The big winner was the Action Démocratique du Québec (ADQ), a right-of-centre, populist group that focused on bread-and-butter issues. The ADQ grew from five to 41 seats in the National Assembly and becomes the official opposition.

‘Buddha boy’ plans live burial: report

KATHMANDU: Ram Bahadur Bomjan – Nepal’s ‘Buddha Boy’ whose followers claim he has meditated without food or water – is back in the news with media reports suggesting that he plans to be buried alive while meditating.
The teenager from Ratanpuri village in southern Nepal’s Bara district has remained in the headlines since he surfaced under a tree in the Charkoshi forest in 2005, meditating cross-legged, just as the Buddha is depicted.
Clad only in a strip of white cloth, the boy was the object of intense reverence as well as curiosity after reports said he had been praying at the same spot in the same posture for nearly nine months without food or water.
Then, just as abruptly as he had surfaced he vanished, prompting a long search by followers, villagers and security forces. He reappeared in a nearby forest and reportedly told his followers that he had left the earlier meditation site because it was getting too crowded.
This year, Bomjan was reported to have disappeared once again only to resurface in the Halpuriya area of Bara district where he was said to be planning to embark on an even more difficult form of meditation.
Bomjan now plans to begin patal samadhi (underground meditation), a private TV channel reported yesterday, quoting a local journalist.
According to reports, his followers have already dug up an eight-foot deep trench in which Bomjan plans to descend. The trench will be then filled.
Asian religious traditions narrate tales of holy men being buried alive, braving extreme heat or cold and subjecting the body to other torments in order to master the senses and attain salvation.
A question is being asked whether the district administration will allow Bomjan’s followers to bury him. There has been no official response. – IANS

IDF B-17 page (Just one photo but it shows the aircraft in IDF service).
According to Gunston, Tallmantz bought the planes in stripped condition supposedly for some doubtful commercial purpose. They lacked gun turrets, bomb sights and many other items of military equipment but some of this was added later. They apparently never received the B-17's characteristic gun turrets while in IDF service, however.
Their flight to Israel during the '48 war (one step ahead of the FBI) is one of those stranger-than-fiction stories that pop up frequently during the early history of Israel. Among other things, they stopped off in Czechoslokia, took on some (probably) ex-German bombs and bombed Cairo during the delivery flight.

Why is Britain being so craven?

This should be read aloud in Parliament

Admiral Lord Nelson must be revolving in his grave. While on patrol in the Shatt-al-Arab waterway between Iran and Iraq, 15 Royal Marines and sailors were seized by Iran on a trumped up charge that they had entered Iranian waters.

Six days on and there is no sign of their release. On the contrary, Iran has stepped up its aggression, threatening to charge the kidnapped marines with espionage and even denying them British consular access.

Britain seems to be in some kind of dreamworld. There is no sense of urgency or crisis, no outpouring of anger. There seems to be virtually no grasp of what is at stake.

Some commentators have languidly observed that in another age this would have been regarded as an act of war. What on earth are they talking about? It is an act of war. There can hardly be a more blatant act of aggression than the kidnapping of another country's military personnel.

What clearly does belong to another age is this country's ability to understand the proper way to respond to an act of war. When his Marines were seized by the Iranians, the commander of HMS Cornwall, Commodore Nick Lambert, did nothing to stop them - and later said it was probably all a misunderstanding. If Nelson had been such a diplomat in such circumstances, Trafalgar would surely have been lost.
Our Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett said the Government had been 'disturbed' by the incident. The Prime Minister took three days to say that the seizure was 'unjustified and wrong' and mouthed platitudes about the welfare of the detainees. Yesterday he talked severely of ' moving to a new phase'.

My goodness, the Iranian regime must be shivering in its shoes. With what contempt they must regard us - a country that stands impotently by while its people are kidnapped and then does no more than bleat that it is 'disturbed'.

What on earth has happened to this country of ours, for so many centuries a byword for defending itself against attack, not least against piracy or acts of war on the high seas?

Turkey's prime minister has been quoted as saying his diplomats may be allowed to meet the group, taken in the Gulf.

Turkey Frowns at EU's Beer Mug Farewell Gift to France's Chirac

Turkish newspapers said that the mug depicted Napoleon's 1799 victory over Ottoman forces in Egypt and reflected hostility towards Turkey.
It was given to Chirac as a retirement gift by German Chancellor Angela Merkel at celebrations of the EU's 50th anniversary over the weekend.

I don't know how inclined I would be to join the British army (or the U.S. Army, for that matter) if I thought that my country wouldn't come and get me if I was "taken" by the Iranians.

Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures;
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz.
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I'll fear no Equal for thou art with me;
Thy cream and thy flavorings they comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez.
Thou anointest my days with vigor; my mug runneth over.
Surely flavor and aroma shall follow me all the days of my life
and I will dwell in the House of Maxwell forever.
Amen!

So, the fine is nice - but what I really want to know here is where are the criminal prosecutions of the people involved in this criminal act?

ROANOKE, VA, United States (UPI) -- ITT Corp. has agreed to pay a $100 million fine for sending militarily sensitive technology to China, Britain and Singapore, U.S. officials said Tuesday.

ITT, the leading manufacturer of night vision equipment for the U.S. military, also has agreed to plead guilty in U.S. District Court in Roanoke, Va., to one count each of export of defense articles without a license and omission of statements of material facts in arms exports reports, a government press release said.

'ITT`s exportation of this sensitive technology to China and other nations jeopardized our national security and the safety of our military men and women on the battlefield,' Assistant Attorney General Kenneth L. Wainstein said.

The penalty is one of the largest ever paid in a criminal case and makes ITT the first major defense contractor convicted of violation the act.

ITT officials at corporate headquarters in White Plains, N.Y., had no immediate comment. However, the company has said it is 'absolutely certain that the heart of this technology -- the night vision tube itself -- is secure.'

Julie Myers of the Department of Homeland Security said peddling of sensitive materials 'pose a potentially deadly threat' to the military and nation.

"Police resistance" from Galliawatch

This poster was placed in mailboxes in the department of Seine-Saint-Denis, in an effort to remind the residents that unless they support their police, there will be civil war.
The heading reads:
"They Only Stop Troublemakers!"

Under the hat it reads:

"Deliberately led into traps, forced to bow before youths still holding a Molotov cocktail in their hands (knowing that this low life will be set free the next day), forced to watch youths break windows in the name of Allah, and then being accused of 'brutality' because of a simple ID verification..."

Followed by:

Support Your National Police before the inevitable civil war and before... that!

"That" refers to the French Islamic Republic, illustrated by the logo at the bottom which appears to be a French flag torn in the middle, though the meaning of the logo isn't entirely clear.

How does one make chocolate halal?

I have been wondering this myself, as two major US brands of cheese have suddenly turned up marked "halal." My particular brand of religious observance would prevent me from consuming them is there has been any active dedication to b'aal involved, so I did write to one of them asking for enlightenment. Still waiting....

Wusses is right! The BIGGIE threat is

Blair's spokesman said the prime minister was not hinting either at the possible expulsion of Iranian diplomats or military action, but that Britain may have to make public evidence proving the Britons were seized in Iraqi - not Iranian - waters, if there is no swift release of the sailors.

ψ Morning all, from the other "land down under". More bad publicity from the Pope.

Pope says hell and damnation are real and eternal
By Richard Owen in Rome

March 28, 2007 12:00am
Article from: The Australian

HELL is a place where sinners really do burn in an everlasting fire, and not just a religious symbol designed to galvanise the faithful, Pope Benedict XVI has said.

Addressing a parish gathering in a northern suburb of Rome, the Pope said that in the modern world many people, including some believers, had forgotten that if they failed to "admit blame and promise to sin no more", they risked "eternal damnation - the inferno".

Hell "really exists and is eternal, even if nobody talks about it much any more"...

A New Form of Evil

I never thought we could see a new form of evil. After the gas chambers of the Holocaust, the tens of millions murdered in the Gulag, the forced starvation in the Ukraine, the hideous medical experiments on people by the Germans and the Japanese in World War II, the torture chambers in all police states, I had actually believed that no new forms of evil existed.

I was wrong.

Of course, for sheer cruelty, one cannot outdo the Nazis; no depiction of hell ever matched the reality of Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen. But while Islamists and Baathists in Iraq have not devised new forms of torture -- there probably are no new ways left -- they have devised a new form of evil: murdering, maiming and torturing as many innocents among their own people as possible.

I do not know of an analogous form of evil. When the Allies conquered Nazi Germany, disaffected Nazis did not go around murdering and cutting off the heads of fellow Germans in order to make the Allies leave. Nor did disaffected Japanese blow up Japanese students so as to make the American occupation of Japan untenable.

Children could be monitored for signs of criminal behaviour

All children could face compulsory checks to discover if they are at risk of turning into criminals, the Prime Minister announced today.

The controversial proposal came as part of a wide-ranging review of crime and security policy published by 10 Downing Street.

It said the checks could take place at existing important stages in a child's life, such as the move from primary to secondary school.

The Government's plan to prevent crime said: "Establish universal checks throughout a child's development to help service providers to identify those most at risk of offending.

"These checks should piggyback on existing contact points such as the transition to secondary schools."

U.S. stock futures drop on Persian Gulf tensions
Bernanke testimony, durable-goods orders data ahead

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stock market futures pointed to a second-straight session of losses on Wednesday, with lingering tension between Iran and the West lifting crude-oil prices and dampening investor sentiment. Markets will be awaiting the word of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and durable-goods data.

Expect oil futures to be elevated as long as Iran gets away with pulling their hijack job. That will put downward pressure on corporate profits. And hopefully Bernanke has perfected the ability to give testimony and put everyone to sleep, not saying anything in particular. The last thing we need right now in the market is for him to give any particulars that the amateurs out there can misinterpret.

Incoming Fatwa Alert for Dia'a al-Mosawi:

It must continually be asked: are there sacred cows in the Arab world? Are there sacred cultural swamps destroying our intellectual ability in the Islamic world? Who is responsible for destroying our consciousness? Who is responsible for making us lose hope?

Why do other nations advance while we regress, as Shakeeb Arsalan asks? Why does the world navigate the frontiers of knowledge, while we are prisoners in ideological jail cells? These cells tear us apart politically, socially, and culturally. The French thinker Beaufilar says in order to think well politically, one must be a good reader of history. Who among us has been a good reader of history?

History has been written by our governments, in a pragmatic, Machiavellian manner. As a result, history is exploding in our generations’ malicious, divisive grudges. We see our homes and our states falling, one after the other. This history continues to ignite anxious ideas in the minds of both Shiite and Sunni.

The question is, how long will we continue to drink from the well of ignorance? How long will continue to brainwash our teenagers and condition them with the black color of hatred emanating from disputes that took place more than 1400 years ago? Let us read history using our brains, not only our hearts.

Why don’t we call for unity under an umbrella of humanism and establish a cultural Marshall Plan based on our common ground? The rest of the world moves toward renovating its historical mistakes in search of a better future, while we in the Muslim world still live trapped behind ancient walls. The world is changing. Germany is united after destroying the Berlin wall while another wall is being built between the Palestinians, between Hamas and Fatah. Palestine is a symbol and we should not allow anyone to use it and benefit from the blood of our children and the blood of coming generations. What is the fault of our youth? Why do we, instead of introducing them to science, knowledge, productivity and development, divide them with the goal of harming others? Where each leader is trying to influence youth and get them to serve a political agenda, the wise men of Palestine from both parts must serve as the safety pin.

The google translation makes little sense

MANY NAMES though

Following up on the Paris riot thread below, the Socialists of course blame the police and an opposition candidate.

Socialists attack Sarkozy after Paris clashesWhat set this off?

PARIS (Reuters) - France's opposition Socialists accused conservative presidential candidate Nicolas Sarkozy of worsening tension between youths and police on Wednesday after clashes at a Paris train station overnight.

Local officials said the eight-hour long confrontation at the Gare du Nord was sparked when police arrested a 33-year old man who attacked staff who had asked him to show his ticket.

Who do the socialists think caused this?

Delphine Batho, a Socialist official responsible for security, said Sarkozy was to blame for the difficulties police encountered when making arrests.

"On the one hand, there are hardcore offenders who want to control their territory. Secondly, there are the after-effects of the provocative habits and language of the interior minister, which has worsened the tensions," she told Le Parisien daily.

Notice how the socialists are ready to surrender part of France to the rioters as "their territory". And then al-Reuters accidentally touches on part of the real cause:

Youths angry about poverty and discrimination torched thousands of cars in November 2005 in the ethnically-diverse suburbs surrounding French cities, where unemployment often is 4 to 5 times the national average.

That socialism is working out real good for you there. Much more of this and you can just shut down. This is why I say it is just a matter of time until France and most of the EU collapses economically.

OVER MY DEAD BODY / Spit

Excepted from an e-mail newsletter from this website:

March 27 - Not All Americans Are Sleeping

I have just learned of some stats that are enormously encouraging. While theologians may be choosing to disregard teaching about Israel and the Middle East, Americans remain tuned into the issues. While apathy today may be rampant, two significant surveys reveal an America that cares about Middle East issues, and, more specifically, Israel-related issues.

A survey by the American Family Association recently asked, "Does strong support for Israel make you more or less likely to vote for a presidential candidate?" Over 70% said "much more likely." Over 17% said "somewhat more likely." So according to this poll, 87% of Americans will examine a candidate's position on America and Israel before they cast their ballot.

A March 25, 2007 poll carried out by McLaughlin and Associates, a major national polling agency, reveals Americans are opposed to the Middle East policies being implemented by the State Department and White House.

* By a margin of 2-to-1 (45% - 22%), Americans believe that a Palestinian Arab state would be a terrorist state rather than a peaceful democracy.

* By a margin of 5-to-1 (60% - 11%), Americans believe that Israel should not make more land giveaways to the Palestinians.

* By a margin of 10-to-1 (45% - 4%), Americans overwhelmingly support Israelis over the Palestinian Arabs.

* By a margin of more than 5-to-1 (65% - 11%), Americans believe that Saudi Arabia is not a reliable and trustworthy ally in the war against radical Islamic terrorism.

These polls make it clear that the American public fully understands Israel's difficult plight in dealing with the Arab war against it. Americans understand that establishing a Palestinian state would result in yet another terrorist state in the Middle East.

Americans have shown that they are completely against appeasing the Palestinian terror regime by offering any more concessions to it. The public has a far more realistic view of the Arab war against Israel than governments around the world, including America's leaders, who have continued to fund the Palestinian leadership despite their refusal to fulfill its obligations under signed agreements.

A vast majority of Americans also are opposed to appeasing terrorists according to the poll and see America appeasing the likes of Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas.

The poll indicates that we should stop all talk of establishing a Palestinian state as Americans understand that the Palestinian Arabs have not taken the minimum steps required to make peace and that likelihood is next to nonexistent.

When there going to be a thread on the Lefts silence on Zimbabwe, its obvious since the US is against Mugabe despot.

7 pm sounding for Wichita Falls shows almost 2000 Joules/Kg, 271 m²s^-2 helicity, and a level of free convection of 766 meters.

If anything, forecast soundings for Clinton, OK look even better for tornadoes!

Looks like tomorrow's best tornadoa ction is slightly further East and South, with the best chance of potentially strong and long tracked tornadoes about 150 km either side of I-35 from near Denton all the way through Waco, Austin, San Marcos, San Antonio, Pearsall to Laredo.

That will be tomorrow's brightly colored and attractively formatted post.

As always, I recommend everyone bookmark the US water vapor imagery loop.

That is a cool upper low over the 4 corners, and one can see divergence aloft developing downstream already!

It's a start.

lioness shooting is very easy
something like throwing a ball
if you can toss a ball with intended aim
pretty much every time
you can shoot a group smaller than a pie plate
right off the bat
which is good enough to take out your target.

Now if you want to shoot groups the size of quarters, this takes practice ;~}

Also if you want to be very comfortable relaxed and natural with the weapon, this takes practice.

Did you notice that if you click on the english button ~ that article with that sick looking flag just isn't there.

Fars has two versions of the news, that for domestic consumption, which is all in Farsi, and the English version. The most interesting stuff is usually in Farsi, which they don't want English speaking folks to know about. After the last Fauxtograph incident, reported here at lgf, they completely dropped their PHOTO link from the web site. Almost all of the pictures they had up were manipulated.

Senate sends a clear message to the terrorists,that they can count on the US Senate to aid and abet you and guarantee our defeat.

Senate backs troop withdrawal from Iraq

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Senate on Tuesday endorsed a March 31, 2008, target date for withdrawing American combat troops from Iraq, prompting the White House to threaten a veto and moving Congress a step closer to a showdown with President George W. Bush over the war.

By a vote of 50-48, the Senate defeated an amendment that would have stricken the withdrawal language from a $121.6 billion bill that mostly would fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But never fear. You can always count on our socialists in congress to step forward when needed:

In action unrelated to the Iraq war, the Senate attached to the spending bill a minimum wage hike for some of the lowest-paid U.S. workers

Jeez, these people disgust me.

Economics 101. Guns or butter. In this case, Guns or running streams of urine and feces overrunning your town.

There are consequences to spending your limited resources on things you don't need, but want. In this case, its little Ali choking to death on a turd floating by.

This cartoon so exactly and completely summarizes whats wrong with the fakestinians.

When EU bleeding hearts give them money for any purpose, do you think for a moment that it is spent where it should be? Of course not, they buy more guns.

When the US department of state arabists excuse their chosen peoples behavior, and toss a few tens of mil over the fence, they haven't any idea how much of this money goes into weapons and how much goes into fixing important problems.

Thats the rub. Given the opportunity to do the right thing or die trying, or kill jews, the fakestinians will always opt for killing jews. They have demonstrated a complete inability to care for themselves via a political or social process of any sort. They just wanna murder da jooooooooooooooos. Ali with a turd lodged in his throat? Doesn't affect them. Everyone else is aghast.

The fakestinians will continue to demand money of the world and try to hold the world's feet to a proverbial fire to get them money. But they haven't been spending their smuggled cash on real needs. There is money for things to kill jews with. Ali choking on a turd means he is a martyr.

This experiment in fakestinian self governance is over.

In Gaza, let Egypt rule them. In the west bank, joooooooooooos are Israeli, and arabs are jordanian. Arabs can stay if they are peaceful. They are expelled otherwise. The land is israels.

This way there will be no more Ali's choking to death from passing turds catching in their throat. This solves so many people's problems, all at once.

Morning folks,

Be sure to check out The John Doe Manifestio, via Malkin at NRO, and The John Doe Protection Act, if you ddin't catch it last night. The latter is ahrdly reported anywhere, but when I get the chance I'll search around.

Meanwile, the Palis continue to barrage Israel with Kassam rockets, while Isreal sending aid to pump them out of their own shit

7 Kassams launched from Gaza Strip
By AP AND JPOST.COM STAFF

Seven Kassam rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip on Wednesday morning.

No casualties were reported in any of the incidents, but agricultural produce from farms south of Ashkelon sustained damage.

Earlier, IDF troops shot and killed an Al Aksa Martyrs' Brigades operative during an exchange of fire before dawn Wednesday in the West Bank town of Jenin.

The IDF said troops shot toward a group of armed men during an arrest operation in Jenin.

The soldiers saw that one of the gunmen was hit, the army said.

No IDF casualties were reported.

The Palestinian group reported that the man was killed during the exchange of fire.

On Tuesday, Golani Brigade troops killed two other Al Aksa members in the Casbah of Nablus.

When there going to be a thread on the Lefts silence on Zimbabwe, its obvious since the US is against Mugabe despot.

Speaking of Zimabwe:

Zimbabwe opposition leader Tsvangirai arrested

HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai was arrested with other members of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) on Wednesday after police stormed the party's headquarters, officials said.

Witnesses said armed riot police surrounded and then entered the building in downtown Harare where the MDC leadership had been due to hold a news conference.

"President Morgan Tsvangirai, who was scheduled to give a press conference on the escalating and systemic campaign of violence and intimidation undertaken by the (President Robert) Mugabe government in recent days, was among those taken away," the party said in a statement.

This won't bother the MSM and the left in America cause Mugabe is a communist. They have a love affair with socialist/communist totalitarians. If he was a free-market capitalist this would be all over the front apges. But then again, his economy would not be collapsing if he were a free market capitalist.

These rating boards are such a joke (like Yahoo). I just noticed the "best" burger joints and #1 is in NYC with #3 in Washington state. Now I know a bunch of you guys and gals live those areas and it is true that NYC offers the best and worst of everything. But I've tried a few of your burgers and steak houses.........including the $15.00 hamburger types.

Having said that, I got terrible news for you guys. To say that New York City or some place on the left coast has some of the best burgers on the planet is equivalent to saying the best French cuisine in the U.S. is found in Poteau, OK.

Who makes up these lists? Baghdad Bob?

I can throw a ball with some accuracy. But I think the Shot Gun and Rifle will send me flying on my tush... LOL

I thought about buying a handgun but haven't ventured past the thinking stage.

It is becoming clear that it would be better to learn how to shoot and never have to use a gun than to have never learned and need to shoot!

What would happen if LAPD killed 45 gang members?

BAGHDAD — Off-duty Shiite policemen enraged by massive bombings in the northern town of Tal Afar went on a revenge spree against Sunni residents there on Wednesday, killing at least 45 men, police and hospital officials said.

The policemen began roaming the town's Sunni neighborhoods on foot early in the morning, shooting at Sunni residents and homes.

A senior hospital official in Tal Afar said at least 45 men ages 15 to 60 were killed and four others were wounded.

Police said dozens of Sunnis were killed or wounded, but they had no precise figures. The shooting continued for more than two hours, the officials said.

Army troops later moved into the Sunni areas to stop the violence and a curfew was slapped on the entire town.

the ease I was referring to is with a handgun.

A shotgun or rifle you will need to know how to anchor the weapon and discharge it steadily.
There will be a peep sight or a scope to guide you.

Use it a few times and you'll get the hang.

Believe me it ain't rocket science.

You were wondering about animal protien in cheese. Doesn't have to be. They could use soy.

US Dairy regulations specify that for a product to be labeled "cheese" it has to be produced specifically from milk. There is such a thing as soy cheese, but it has to be labeled exactly that. The cheese I am speaking of are well known brands of "cheese" - so not soy, not "low fat", 100% animal.

I'll call them in a bit when they open.

A fire extinguisher can save your life if you know how to use it... almost anything can be utilized as a weapon.

I once took a guy out with a fire extinguisher.
Spray 'em in the eyes and then beat hell out of their head while they are writhing around rubbing their eyes.

Most effective.

My mother was 5 foot 1 and 95 pounds soaking wet. She shot a .30/30 Winchester quite well and she got quite a few whiteails with it.

lioness

Cut down a cheap double barrel 20 gauge to bearly legal 18 & 1/8 inchload it up with #6 shot and clear the hallway.

At close range shot will spread only a coupla inches.

Felt recoil is not much if you use non-magnum or low velocity shells.

Good for close in work.

I have noticed that women are better natural off the bat shooter than men, have you seen this?

BAGHDAD: Two elderly sisters, both Chaldean Catholic nuns, were stabbed to death in their home in Kirkuk, city police reported Tuesday, saying the motive for the attack was not known.

Kirkuk police 1st. Lt. Marewan Salih said Fawzeiyah Naoum, 85, and her 79-year-old sister Margaret, were stabbed multiple time by two intruders who raided their home Monday night near the Cathedral of the Virgin in Kirkuk. They lived alone and there was no sign of a robbery, Salih said

.

Chaldean Catholics are an ancient Eastern rite now united with Roman Catholicism. Adherents live mainly in Syria, Turkey, Iran and Iraq and most speak a dialect of Turkish.

the motive is clear to those with eyes that see. [Link: www.iht.com...]
