Mickey Rourke:
I was in London recently and I couldn't believe all these hate-talking fanatics you have over here who are allowed to carry on doing their thing even when a bus full of women and children gets blown to pieces."I know you've deported one or two of them, but it seems crazy. I think there is worse to come, something terrible will happen to either America or the U.K., or France even. I don't think these fundamentalists should be allowed to talk all this crap, and brainwashing these young kids

Democrats seek criminal probe of Bush 'abuses'
The incoming Obama administration should launch a criminal investigation of Bush administration officials to see whether they broke the law in the name of national security, a House Democratic report said Tuesday. President-elect Barack Obama has been more cautious on the issue and has not endorsed such a recommendation.
Along with the criminal probe, the report called for a Sept. 11-style commission with subpoena power, to gather facts and make recommendations on preventing misuse of power, according to the report by the Democratic staff of the House Judiciary Committee.

God said to Moses. Ok, I want you to build and ark so many cubits long and so many cubits wide and then go collect all the animals of the earth in pairs, two by two, and bring them to the ark and put them on the ark and then you and you family enter the ark, shut the door and it will rain for 40 days, and the ark will float apon the waters and you will be saved. On the 40th day, you will release a dove and it will show you where the dry land is.

Cameras (plural) and mike are not in the same location. How close together is anybody's guess.
The "rooster" microphone is near a roadway, and near a door. I've heard a sound exactly like that made by a screen door -- a few days ago, multiple times, in conjuction with men's voices.

Part I
Today, I received the most moving email from the president of the Shalem institute:
We Jews Love Life: A Tribute to Dvir Emanuelof
January 12, 2009
Israel is a small country, but when it goes to war, the front is extraordinarily broad. On Sunday of last week, it reached “Gan Dalia,” the kindergarten my five-year-old son David attends in the Ramot neighborhood of Jerusalem. That morning, officers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) came looking for veteran head teacher Dalia Emanuelof. She was off that day, so they continued searching elsewhere, ultimately waiting outside her home in the nearby suburb of Givat Ze’ev until she returned that afternoon.
The news the officers brought was unbearable: Her 22-year-old son, Dvir, had been killed in Jabalya, making him the first Israeli casualty of the ground campaign in Gaza. Fighting there as a staff sergeant in his infantry unit, the elite Golani brigade, he was felled by Hamas mortar fire. Though Israel has a conscript army, Dvir did not have to be in Gaza, as he had received high marks as instructor of a squad leader course, was asked to go to officer school, and would still have been in training had he accepted; he deferred, however, saying he would not be fit to command until he had first fought alongside his comrades. In fact, Dvir did not have to be in any front-line position: His father Netanel had died of cancer at age 46, shortly before Dvir’s service began; as an only son in a single-parent family, Dvir was exempt under IDF rules from combat duty. Before accepting him to Golani, his commanding officer visited Dalia and asked if she acquiesced in her son’s opting for a dangerous path he was not obligated to choose. Her answer: “If this is how Dvir wants to serve his country, then this is what he will do.” Two days before entering Gaza, Dvir had called home and said: “Mom, I have to fight. I have to be there.” He went, and he fought—and was buried on Sunday night in the Mount Herzl military cemetery in Jerusalem.
A few days later, I was thinking about Dvir as I prepared to speak at an Israel solidarity rally at the Ramaz high school in Manhattan. I opened by talking about Dvir’s words to his mother, and then explained why he had to fight—that is, why Israel had no choice but to wage war to stop Hamas from firing missiles at homes and schools in Sderot and other cities in the country’s south. After describing Israel’s war aims, I addressed the issue on the minds of these morally sensitive young people: How we could be sure that, in the pursuit of moral ends, Israel was using moral means? I stressed the lengths to which the IDF goes to protect Palestinian civilians, and contrasted it with Hamas’s systematic strategy of using non-combatants—women, children, even hospital patients—as “human shields,” to prevent the Israeli army from attacking its fighters or to saddle the Jewish state with the blame for the civilians who are killed.

Part II
Afterwards, I fielded questions from seniors in one of Ramaz’s honors classes, of which the most difficult was posed by an earnest young woman named Julie. She accepted that Israel was right to launch an offensive and was fighting in accordance with the dictates of morality, but was deeply concerned about the outcome: If Hamas was eager for Palestinian non-combatants to be killed, while the IDF did its best to prevent such casualties, how could Israel hope to win? Either the Israeli army would be deterred from landing the blows needed to defeat Hamas, or Israel would end up killing large numbers of civilians and be forced by international pressure to accept a cease-fire prematurely—which would be perceived as a Hamas victory, on the model of Hizbollah’s “triumph by surviving” in the Second Lebanon War. She offered a chillingly apt understanding of the statement made in 2004 by Hizbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah and later echoed by many Hamas leaders: “We have discovered how to hit the Jews where they are the most vulnerable….We are going to win, because they love life and we love death.” Nasrallah had meant that the Jews loved their own lives while Muslim radicals embraced death in the pursuit of jihad, but in Gaza, it turned out that Jews also cared more for the lives of Arab civilians than did the leaders of Hamas. I answered, haltingly, on the level of tactics, pointing out that the IDF’s detailed intelligence and precise execution enabled it to limit the bulk of Palestinian casualties to Hamas fighters, and that international condemnation of Israel has been kept in check by widespread revulsion at the use of human shields.
The question was still on my mind when I landed at Ben-Gurion Airport the next morning and headed to a shiva visit at the Emanuelofs. The first floor was overflowing with well-wishers, some sitting and most standing, centered around Dalia, her three daughters, and the general in charge of Israel’s ground forces, Avi Mizrahi, who in an extraordinary gesture of respect was making a condolence visit in the midst of war. Due to his rare combination of gentleness and determination, he became, with Dalia, the center of attention, and the two engaged in a dialogue interspersed with occasional comments from Dalia’s eldest daughter, Hadas, who got married less than a year ago and was visibly pregnant with the family’s first grandchild

Part III
From this dialogue, an extraordinary portrait emerged of Dvir—a modest, idealistic young man who was a leader in the Bnei Akiva youth movement, delighted in taking his friends on hikes throughout Israel, and could never be found without his trademark smile, which radiated out from his sparkling eyes and lit up everyone around him—a point amply attested to in the photos displayed in the Emanuelofs’ home. He loved life, with a passion, but was willing to risk his own because he felt a sense of mission to protect Israelis living in the country’s south. Dalia, too, was heroic in her own, quiet way. On her face and in her voice one could discern profound sadness, but also pride in her son and the army in which he served, and resolve that Israel must continue to fight until victory. One could also detect a spirit of hope, bordering on faith, that her people would triumph—and that, as Jews traditionally say, Netzach Yisrael lo yishaker, the Eternal One of Israel will not fail us.
Equally extraordinary was the picture Dalia painted of the support her family had received. She spoke of two teenage girls who came to her home, and when asked how they had known Dvir, answered that they had never met him but identified with the family’s tragedy and wanted to give whatever comfort they could; of a middle-aged man who said only, ‘I’m a citizen of Israel, and I came to be with you, as a representative of all of Israel’s citizens;’ of an elderly gentleman who walked in leaning on a cane, and declared: “I heard that a Golanchik (young Golani soldier) in your family was killed; I fought in Golani in the War of Independence in 1948, and have come to offer my condolences.” She described a phone call from a woman she didn’t know, who had just had a grandson and wanted permission to name him Dvir. Dalia assented, but urged that he be given a second name, as Jewish tradition says that in calling someone after a person who has suffered an unfortunate fate, one should make this change to symbolize the hope for better fortune. The grandmother answered that the boy’s name would be Dvir Chai—“Dvir lives.” And Dalia concluded the story: “A few days after my son had been killed, I could already say again, ‘Dvir lives.’”

Part IV
At one point, Dalia turned to General Mizrahi and asked why Israel could not fight in Gaza the way coalition forces have in Iraq and Afghanistan—bombing aggressively against enemy fighters in populated areas. There was no bitterness in her voice at the IDF for having endangered her son’s life by its regard for Palestinian civilians, nor any desire for revenge—only the concerned tones of an Israeli mother anxious to protect the sons of other Israeli mothers. The general answered thoughtfully, but without hesitation, that the IDF had gone to greater lengths to protect its soldiers in Gaza than in previous conflicts, citing the week-long air campaign that preceded the ground invasion. He added, however, that the IDF’s strength is integrally tied to maintaining its humanity and morality. Soldiers are united in part because they know that regardless of religious or political differences, they share a common moral code. Alluding to the widely-held view that Hamas’s military leadership is hiding under Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, he said that he wouldn’t give an order to bomb the hospital from the air, because there are certain things one simply doesn’t do. This is an obligation, he stressed, that the IDF has as a Jewish army. From the reactions in the room, it was clear that while everyone identified with Dalia’s question, they accepted the answer—and were impressed that the officer used this opportunity to reinforce the Jewish values binding all of us together.
As I left to return home before the start of the Sabbath, I understood the answer to the question I had been asked by a young woman 6,000 miles away. Yes, on the tactical level it can be a handicap to love life when your opponent loves death. But in the end, it is that love of life that will enable us to prevail. We will defeat those who love death, because we love life so much that we Israelis—from teenage girls to senior officers in wartime—know how to give comfort to those who have lost a loved one, and to say, “We are with you.” Our love of life enables us to confront tragedy, and emerge with the pride and resolve, the hope and the faith, that Dalia showed.
We love life so much that we educate our children to love life, though surrounded by enemies who hope, pray, and work for our deaths. It is this love of life that enabled the Jews to return to our homeland and rebuild a state after 2,000 years, and it is the sense of mission stemming from this love that will sustain the Zionist dream long into the future. We love life so much that we refuse to have our sense of morality dulled by enemies who seek to force us to kill women and children in order to defend our families. Though our principles limit the IDF’s effectiveness, they provide us with intangibles that more than compensate—the confidence and the strength to pursue our aims secure in the knowledge we are acting justly, and the unity that comes from a society acting in accordance with its most cherished values. And yes, let no one err, we will win because we love life so much we are willing to brave death, if necessary, to ensure that our people can lead free lives in the country we have established against all odds. In the end, it is this love of life that will enable us to prevail—not only in the war in Gaza, but in all the challenges we face in the years and generations to come.

A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art.
When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.
About a month later, just before Christmas, there was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands.
He said, 'Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly. He often talked about you, and your love for art.' The young man held out this package. 'I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this.'
The father opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. 'Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift.'
The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.
The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of his paintings. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.
On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded his gavel. 'We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?'
There was silence.
Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, 'We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one.'
But the auctioneer persisted. 'Will somebody bid for this painting. Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?'
Another voice angrily. 'We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Gogh's, the Rembrandt's. Get on with the real bids!'
But still the auctioneer continued. 'The son! The son! Who'll take the son?'
Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. 'I'll give $10 for the painting.' Being a poor man, it was all he could afford.
'We have $10, who will bid $20?'
'Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters.'
'$10 is the bid, won't someone bid $20?'
The crowd was becoming angry. They didn't want the picture of the son. They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.
The auctioneer pounded the gavel. 'Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!'
A man sitting on the second row shouted, 'Now let's get on with the collection!'
The auctioneer laid down his gavel. 'I'm sorry, the auction is
over.'
'What about the paintings?'
'I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will. I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings.
The man who took the son gets everything!'
God gave His son 2,000 years ago to die on the cross. Much like the auctioneer, His message today is: 'The son, the son, who'll take the son?'

Last night, I posted an observation that, according to Jonah Goldberg, both Mussolini and FDR essentially said, "Vote for me now, and I'll come up with a plan later." I thought that sounded a lot like Obama.
Heh. James Taranto agrees. (Top item)
We were a bit startled by the Puffington Host email that hit our box late yesterday afternoon, bearing the headline "Obama Preparing Order to Close Guantanamo in First Week." The link went to an Associated Press story, of which we'll quote a longer version:
President-elect Barack Obama is preparing to issue an executive order his first week in office--and perhaps his first day--to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, according to two presidential transition team advisers.But the PuffHo headline--which has since been changed on the Web site, turned out to be a gross exaggeration, and the lead overstates the case too, as the second paragraph makes clear:
It's unlikely the detention facility at the Navy base in Cuba will be closed anytime soon. In an interview last weekend, Obama said it would be "a challenge" to close it even within the first 100 days of his administration.But the order, which one adviser said could be issued as early as Jan. 20, would start the process of deciding what to do with the estimated 250 al-Qaida and Taliban suspects and potential witnesses who are being held there.
Wow, on his very first day in office Obama is going to issue a directive starting the process of deciding what to do. That's the kind of bold leadership America has been hankering for, lo these eight awful years!
Definitely go read the whole thing. :)

Cubit is a measurement from a different time -- before standardization. It is (the common version) the distance from the elbow to the end of the middle finger. That will be different for different people, of course. It was good enough for the time -- they weren't mass producing anything, so precision wasn't an issue.

Wash. Court: Teachers can have sex with 18-year-olds
State law does not bar teachers from having sex with 18-year-old students.
That's the decision of a three-judge panel of the Washington Court of Appeals, which on Tuesday ordered the dismissal of a case brought against Hoquiam High School's former choir teacher.
Wash. court rules that truants entitled to lawyer
A panel of judges has apparently made Washington the first state to rule that juvenile students accused of chronically cutting classes in public schools are entitled to a lawyer in their first court hearing.
The Washington state Court of Appeals ruled Monday that denying a juvenile the right to a lawyer from the outset violated constitutional requirements.

I have a computer question for lizards out there.
I recently took my laptop to a computer geek place that I have used in thepast to do computer stuff. I wanted them to remove my media files, get rid of a virus I picked up, and then put the pics and stuff back on.
They called me a few weeks later saying the virus was gone, the settings were factory but they had "lost" all the media files and tried everything they could to retrieve them.
They didn't charge me anything, of course.
Now I'm installing antiviral software, and it is finding files that were "erased". I'm thinking those files are still there, they are just inaccessible. Anyone know how to reaccess them?

Those who are out wear plainclothes in order to make it more difficult for the Israeli army to target them – and ultimately, for anyone to distinguish between civilian and military casualties.

I'll be damned... the ICRC finds that the IDF wasn't using white phosphorus as the human rights groups were busy complaining - and that in fact Israel was complying with international conventions on weapons as they had been saying all along.
The International Committee of the Red Cross urged Israel to exercise "extreme caution" in using the incendiary agent, which is used to illuminate targets at night or create a smoke screen for day attacks, said Peter Herby, the head of the organization's mines-arms unit."In some of the strikes in Gaza it's pretty clear that phosphorus was used," Herby told The Associated Press. "But it's not very unusual to use phosphorus to create smoke or illuminate a target. We have no evidence to suggest it's being used in any other way."
The only evidence that it was being used in any other fashion was from self interested Palestinians who want to propagandize against Israel and human rights groups that have repeatedly bent over backwards to ignore Hamas violations of every international law on the book but attempt to hold Israel to a standard of international law that doesn't even exist.

So the reporter here is admitting that Israel targets uniformed people, not civilians.
But they did tell this whopping lie
Hamas's resumption of rocket attacks when a six-month truce ran out on Dec. 19.
The rockets only resumed on Dec 19th, after 6 months without Hamas rockets? I don't think so. Usually they write it so it isn't technically a lie, but just strongly implies the lie they want to tell.

Indeed. I play a game for which I download user-made modifications. The site I download these files from lets you rate the files 1-10. You can ONLY leave a rating if you explain your reason for the rating. The same could be applied to the link-dings.

I was going to post about my surprise that with 30000 registered users, Charles didn't win the "Best Conservative Blog" hands down. Then, I mentally divided the number by three (most of the registered users probably don't lurk or visit much), and remembered people like you list, and a few who have gotten the stick.

re: #436 Sunlight
If you're a newbie, you may not have seen some of the flamewars of years past on LGF. I think the updings and downdings give people an outlet rather than an all-caps post. Hmmm. I wonder if Charles intended that. Anyway, can't take disagreement personally. Go ahead with the downding when you don't like what someone says. That said, I haven't used the downding yet. But I have called stinky for cleanups on comments that look really bad.
I view "dings" as a way to measure how my posts are received. In non-virtual, conversation, I can tell by people's facial expression or sounds they may make (a smile, or a groan). I also think that "Dings" work also to streamline threads because they are easier than short posts ("good one, dude" or "Not Funny").

re: #388 spirochete
I have a computer question for lizards out there.
I recently took my laptop to a computer geek place that I have used in thepast to do computer stuff. I wanted them to remove my media files, get rid of a virus I picked up, and then put the pics and stuff back on.
They called me a few weeks later saying the virus was gone, the settings were factory but they had "lost" all the media files and tried everything they could to retrieve them.
They didn't charge me anything, of course.
Now I'm installing antiviral software, and it is finding files that were "erased". I'm thinking those files are still there, they are just inaccessible. Anyone know how to reaccess them?
What you ask is very complex..There are multiple answers depending on the facts on the ground..
First off..Windows doesn't really delete your files when it says it does..The trash can is only an icon..When a file is deleted windows puts a $ sign in front of the file name and the FAT tables get updated and told 'if you want to write crap here feel free' But because of drive usage windows will choose free space instead of marked sectors to write new data..Thus you can recover alot of deleted files..That's the readers digest version...It is esp. more complex esp. during a catastrophic failure or password protected files

Um, Mr. Buchanan, this isn't quite how I pictured a Blitzkrieg. Sounds more like some car alarms going off after a fly-by prior to a stadium event at best.
Pat Buchanan knows about as much about military history as he does about economics, science and theology, which is somewhere between diddly and squat.
Blitzkrieg is rapidly advancing mechanized forces with coordinted air cover penetrating the enemy's interior lines of communication and rendering them useless, thereby depriving the enemy the capacity to sustain a coordinated fight. The rear of the advancing force deals with the pockets of resistance, which tend to surrender en masse.
The US fights using Blitzkrieg as a matter of doctrine. Israel can't in Gaza (or refuses to) because its aim is not to hold land. Instead it is a police action in urban terrain, so they are selecting targets carefully and advancing infantry teams with specific "kill lists" in hand.
Pat Buchanan is a complete asshole that makes conservatism look stupid, as is Sean Hannity for giving him any credibility whatsoever.

Indeed.
Arabs continually refer to Jews as Nazis, that Jews are engaging in genocide, Gaza is a concentration camp, using the words most associated with Nazism to describe Israel's defense against terrorism, etc.
I think it's time to call the Arab-think Hitlerian Jihad, because it combines the worst of both. Megalomaniacal devotion to killing Jews, and making the land red in blood. Hitler gave the jihadis something to strive for - annihilation of the Juice.

In France, you may get rooster when you least expect it, since "poulet" can refer to chicken or rooster. If you see "creme de'poulet," on a menu, most time it will be rooster. Not bad tasting either.

Wow! I just read a piece off of Drudge about the actor Mickey Rourke. Astounding! A hollywood actor who get's it:
"I don't give a f**k who's in office, Bush or whoever, there is no simple solution to this problem... I'm not one of those who blames Bush for everything. This s**t between Christians and Muslims goes back to the Crusades, doesn't it.
"It's too easy to blame everything on one guy. These are unpredictable, dangerous times, and I don't think that anyone really knows quite what to do."
Rourke also confesses he was so angry after 9/11, he wanted to fight the war on terror himself.
He adds, "I'm not politically educated. But I do know that after 9/11 I wanted to go over there, you know what I'm saying?"
And the star is baffled by the U.K.'s approach to fundamentalists - insisting he was taken aback by the freedom of speech allowed in the U.K.
He explains, "I was in London recently and I couldn't believe all these hate-talking fanatics you have over here who are allowed to carry on doing their thing even when a bus full of women and children gets blown to pieces.
"I know you've deported one or two of them, but it seems crazy. I think there is worse to come, something terrible will happen to either America or the U.K., or France even. I don't think these fundamentalists should be allowed to talk all this crap, and brainwashing these young kids."

Gazans must not be too needing for food if those roosters are still crowing. But maybe they are fighting chickens and are use to supplement the owner's income. Cockfighting is pretty common in most of the world.

They can fly. Seen it.
Oh, yes, they can fly.
They 'glide' down from the roosting branch at sunrise, though, and make the most amazing plop sound when they hit the ground.
I killed one about 30 years ago with a bow and arrow! It was legal, and the 'other alternative' was a shotgun. I didn't want the pellets in the meat, and I knew where they roosted.

AVS Capture can grab videos from anywhere. Free to try - it's about 30 bucks, iirc, after the trial period.
Red Kawa downloads directly from youtube and converts to ipod format, which you can then play via itunes. It's shareware.
Are those for Mac?
I have a FireFox extension (Download Helper) that captures video from almost anywhere... and it's free!
But the vid has to be actually playing before it will begin the capture. Can't play/can't capture.
Will look into anyway...

The Iranian Mullahs are trying for an extension, trying to draw President Barry's ire.
Way back last year, I got an e-mail from a nice young liberal exhorting me to caucus. Even if I was a Republican.
I, of course, e-mailed her back and told her I was registered "unaffiliated", and even if she thought I was Republican, I couldn't caucus, because that was a Democrat thing.
She e-mailed me back and admitted she had a lot to learn about politics. She was mainly interested in improving the image of the U.S.A. around the world. She wanted people to like us. ad nauseum.
I replied that the only way for the "world" to like us was to degenerate into a third world country, because the "dislike" she thought she was seeing amounted mainly to jealousy. She's a big Linux fan, and asked her why, really, she hated Microsoft.
I saved the appropriate e-mail, and I figure in about six months, I can re-send my reply with several explanatory and illuminating links.

A SHORT LOVE STORY
A man and a woman who had never met before, but who were both married to other people,
found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a trans-continental train.
Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room,
they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper berth and she in the lower.
At 1:00 AM, the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying....
"Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket?
I'm awfully cold."
"I have a better idea", she replied. "Just for tonight,...... let's pretend that we're married."
"Wow!...................That's a great idea!" he exclaimed.
"Good!" she replied. ............."Get your own fucking blanket."
After a moment of silence, ......................he farted.
The End

It's a (insert whatever rodent here)!" followed by panic and stampede, canes being used as weapons. Then, and you can set your watch by this, someone gets their eye poked out.
I have actually used a "used" glass eye that I picked up at Goodwill (yes, at Goodwill) as a joke. Sit around a bunch of folks at a bar or dinner, specially a group where not everyone know you, and bring the glass eye up to you face, and then just drop it to the table, at the same time squinting you right or left eye.
Make some excuse, be polite, bring it up to you squinting eye and act as if you are reinserting it. Palm it away, use you other hand to "adjust" your eye, drop glass eye in you pocket while they are watching you adjust your eye.

I don't remember the gentleman's name, but Sons of Confederate Veterns used to have a black guy as a spokesman. I've seen him on the news, wearing full uniform back when the Stars and Bars were such a controversy in South Carolina. I will submit to you that if the biggest challenge the NAACP has on their plate is the flag over the South Carolina capitol, then the Civil Rights movement is over.
They've won.
I recall traveling with a decorated black Petty Officer senior to me in the deep south many years ago and him seeing his first whites only lunch counter. I wanted to join him at the negro counter but he being older and wiser, jointed me on the bus. That was something to get upset over, not a historic flag that represents far more then slavery.

Feinstein's legislation to ban scalping of inaugural tickets fails in Senate.So if your Senator "gives" you tickets, you can still legally sell them on ebay for 10K.
When scalping is outlawed, only outlaws will have scalps. Or something.

Good evening everyone. I just got myself up to speed on today's Mads Gilbert news conference. Thanks to Charles for finding and linking to it. Wow, Mads was so upset he popped the collar on his Members Only jacket.
I want to make sure that I'm able to analyze every word that Mads said about the Mashharawi case, but my video keeps getting stuck. I have everything from the first part when he talked about it, but my video got stuck early in the Q&A period. Did he saying anything else about the Mashharawi case in the Q&A period? If so, I'll keep trying to download the whole thing.

A friend of mine in high school had lost an eye to glaucoma, and he had an eye shield. IIRC it was plastic. He used to sit in class and freak out the teachers by bouncing his pencil off of it while they tried to teach class. He was just evil that way :-)
My dad knew a newspaper reporter who had a wooden leg. The guy covered the sports pages. Once he was with a group of reporters interviewing a boxer. The boxer kept taunting them, saying reporters are pussies, etc. My dad's acquaintance rejoined, "if you're so tough, let's see you do THIS", took a nearby icepick (this was the old days, I guess there were lots of icepicks lying around), and jammed it into his (wooden) leg (which was of course concealed by a normal pair of pants).

Everyone, wait, ok, here's an evolution story, a poem, to start a evolution thread... don't go...
Paradise Almost Lost.
by
Joseph Simon Newman
I'll tell about those ancient days
ere history penetrates the haze,
ere human eyes were there to gaze,
when earth was all primeval:
worms and germs and rocks and sod
were ready at the slightest nod
of quite an inexperienced God
to go into upheaval.
Not even Adam had appeared.
sin was nothing to be feared:
this was before all men were queered
by apple-eating ladies.
In fact, in those days, don't forget,
the Lord had made no devils yet,
and up 'til then had never met
a fit recruit for Hades.
There was no mammoth, fish, or seal,
Fatimas, Pepsodent, or veal,
no radio or movie reel,
no Buick, bean, or Bendix,
no pterodactyl, fudge, or Lux,
no Sal Hepatica or ducks,
no Nazis, Communists, or Klux,
no Man...and no appendix.
Well, in that very distant day,
in June, July, or August, say,
two living specks of matter lay
in Egypt or Samoa.
Two earless, eyeless, chinless specks,
with neither craniums nor necks,
nor any sign of soul or sex --
in short, two protozoa.
Now organisms of this kind
are rather flimsily designed,
with neither skin nor bones to bind
the parts to one another,
so when the larger of these two
went rolling into pastures new,
she knocked her plasm all askew --
enveloping her brother.
Well never mollusk, worm, nor slug,
nor animalculus, nor bug
had hitherto enjoyed a hug.
God wasn't sentimental!
He planned no species to reveal
the slightest hint of sex appeal!
And yet this...hug...appeared too real
to call it accidental.
Approaching closer to observe
God thought he saw a certain verve,
a quickening of plasmic nerve
unquestionably striking;
the sky, the sun, the sea, the land
were things the Lord could understand,
but here was something quite unplanned,
and scarcely to his liking.
Judicially he held his ire,
deciding he would first inquire
what set those little cells afire
in ways uncontemplated.
But neither had a mouth nor beak,
and therefore neither one could speak,
all language was the same as Greek --
thus Greek originated.
Alas! I forgot to state:
God early had invented Fate!
It now was definitely late
to check the spreading virus.
Though both were silent, well, he knew
his worst suspicions had come true:
it was evident that two
were mutually desirous.
To be explicit and exact,
from that day on the cards were stacked:
the germ of love became a fact
embedded in their plasm.
With lightning flash and thunder roll
an angry God demanded toll,
and so he dug a hellish hole
and thrust them in the chasm.
The spawn of life spread far and wide,
the species grew and multipled,
for hundreds lived, though thousands died,
God wept within his portals,
came alligators, birds, and dogs,
and elephants, and flies, and frogs,
and beetles, barnacles, and hogs,
and anthropoids, and mortals.
And ever since that fateful day
when protozoa found a way
to multiply our earthly clay,
they've handed us erebus:
for though we have discarded gills
for Carter's Little Liver Pills,
we're far more surfeited with ills
than when we were amoebas.
Just think of what we might have been
without surrealists and gin,
and broccoli, and other sin
that hurt beyond all measure.
But still, I take a certain pride
in that ancestral groom and bride,
who in some ways, I'm satisfied,
made hell on earth a pleasure.

The meme at ___ is that I embraced fascists because I would not rebuke Filip Dewinter's attendance at the conference. The reality is Dewinter is not a fascist. Dewinter (years ago) said in Ghent, Belgium: "You should know, the real enemies of Israel today are not on the right, but rather on the left: the socialists and the Greens." The leftist/Islamic death to the Jews marches that we have seen these last 10 days haave certainly validated his point.

When we begin to use the images of war as entertainment for the masses you know that we have begun to cater to the least humane, immature and calloused among us.
War is nothing more than organized violence and destruction to achieve goals that were not be achieved through negotiation and civilized diplomacy.
But then we must remember, that some among us, would rather that we bargain or force us to pay an expensive ransom to those who would murder us. They would have us pay this price in the hope that we can obtain some respite from terror.
Unfortunately, the price they are asking us to pay must be measured in the tyranny that they would subject us to and the loss of our freedoms and liberty. Let us never revel in the images of war... but let us support the men and women who participate in it to guarantee our continued liberty.

The author Joseph Newman was Paul Newman's uncle and was a columnist for the Cincinnatti Plains Dealer (I belive that's the paper). He did about 20 years of columns, and many of his columns were poems like this. He had three book of his poems compiled.
Lord Buckley was the first artist/comedian to feature some of his poems and Biff Rose was the second. Biff was most popular from about 1968-1972 although he still hands in there right now.

Vince Neil is the correct answer.

These pictures do not really look like a city that has been bombed day and night for 18 days.
Actually, they look exactly like a city that's been "bombed day and night for 18 days," if it was bombed by the IAF or the USAF.
Contrary to the propaganda put out by the MSM, we actually go to great lengths to hit only legitimate targets, even when it means letting valid targets escape in order to prevent collateral damage.

The man they couldn't kill: Adulterer survives stoning by climbing out pit
A MAN convicted of adultery has escaped death by stoning in Iran after dragging himself out of the pit he had been buried in for the punishment – an act that means he is free under Islamic law.
Two other male adulterers were killed by the barbaric method in the same incident, which took place in the north-eastern city of Mashhad last month.

You are correct, and keeping us in check is welcomed.
It's so hard not to revel sometimes, though. After so long.
War may be necessary, but it should never be celebrated. Heroes should be honored and heroic sacrifice encouraged when required, but we should pray for the day when we never have to send our children to war.

I met the Crue backstage on their first tour after Vince Neal got out of jail for vehicular manslaughter. The encore was Jailhouse Rock and I thought the roof was going to come down.
Bizzarrro moment was while we were standing there yapping with Tommy Lee after the show and a guy comes up to him with a mirror with a pile of coke that looked like an anthill. No jagged line. In mid-sentence, he sticks his head down, inhales the whole anthill, and then looks up and continues his thought.
Then like a week later I see the Crue do a Rockers Against Drugs public service commercial on MTV and I'm like yeah right.

I support Israel's right to defend herself by using force against all who would seek her destruction.
I condemn Hamas and all other terror organizations who use murder and terror as tools to facilitate political growth and religious conversion.
Please understand, that although I recognize the necessity of Israel's conduct, I will never celebrate the death or trauma so many have suffered.
Hamas by its philosophy and actions has caused pain on both sides of the border, and I will not celebrate the enormous pain and unnecessary bloodshed that wretched organization has brought to the region.

Well the good news is that all three of my friends made it trhough their respective surgeries just fine. With two of 'em, still, apparently some idea of follow up radiation or chemo. The third was is supposed to be just fine.
As for me - crappy day, dental wise - went to dentist on emergency run late this afternoon, have appointment tomorrow morning as well - damn cancer/cancer meds rot my teeth from the insided out so no matter how much I brush and (now) floss and all, they just go on me.

I am afraid that you are right...
Fatah has never forgiven or reconciled with the fact that Hamas drove them out of Gaza and killed many of their number.
There are even reports that Hamas gunmen dragged their Arab opponents out of hospital beds and murdered them during the period when IDF forces were fighting them in the streets.
When Israel is done weakening Hamas and crippling its armed wing, I believe that more bloodshed (although much less reported by our media) will follow. There will be revenge, and it will not be pretty.

Hi Walter - I know you've probably been asked this a million times today, so here's a million and one: how's your girlfriend doing? And how are you doing?
She has b een moved to the rehab floor. They are going to keep her for at least 5 days, using a back brace, giving her Physical Therapy and at the end of it all, they'll decide if she is going to need back surgery or if the brace will enable the healings.
She sitting up in chairs, with the brace, eat some, walking some (with the brace and a walker), she whining like a princess, and she don't have squat, so she alright.

"A crook is a crook, and there's something healthy about his frankness in the matter. But a guy who pretends he is enforcing the law and steals on his authority is a swell snake. The worst type of these punks is the big politician, who gives about half his time to covering up so that no one will know he's a thief.

Think Crips and Bloods; roughly the same, but with artillery.
Hamas vs. Fatah: The Struggle For Palestine Schanzer, director of policy at the Jewish Policy Center and counterterrorism analyst for the Office of Intelligence and Analysis at the U.S. Department of Treasury, investigates the conflict between rival Palestinian factions with nuance and detail as he exposes the long-broiling tensions and violent eruptions between Fatah and Hamas—even as the two sides attempted to pretend that the Palestinians were still united under one flag. The author posits that only by rejecting the platforms of both parties will the Palestinian people begin to break the self-destructive cycle and provides a concise historical survey from the founding of the Muslim Brotherhood—the template for many Islamist groups—in 1928 to the recent conflict in Lebanon and a thorough comparison of Fatah's and Hamas's leadership. Neophytes to the tangled world of Palestine's internal conflict will be treated to a serious, no-frills account; those readers more familiar with the issues will enjoy how Schanzer weaves a web of connectivity between the Palestinian conflict with Israel, the conflicts involving Lebanon, the rise of al-Qaeda and American complicity.

re: #1286 ggt
It was quiet, too quiet, my eyes were just getting used to the dark, when off in the shadows I could make out the faint outline of some sort of bird...In a minute I came to know just what kind of bird it was. It was the kind of bird that just would not shut up, no matter what was going on around it; the kind of rooster that crowed while mating, crowed while eating, crowed when it was happy, crowed when it was sad, the damned bird probably crowed when it was asleep.. I was just about to see if it could crow while its obnoxious neck was being wrung, when a mortar blast...

We used to roll thru German towns back in the 80's. German civilians near the border would stand in the streets giving us the V for Victory sign. Young soldiers would ask me if that was the Peace sign. I'd tell them no, the Germans were signaling 2 marks to the dollar. Then I'd tell them when we signaled the same back it meant, 'Beat'cha twice'......

I've long said we need to change the cost benefit analysis the terrorists make. For the last 50 years, it's paid off. Arafish become legitimate and a guest in the White House instead of room temperature.
It will take will, dedication and the willingness to inflict maximum violence on selected targets every single time a terror attack occurs. It will take hunting down the enablers, controllers and financiers of terror. It will take taking the fight to the State sponsors. When terror no longer pays dividends and only reaps massive, violent and sure reprisals will they change their tune and start to think of other options.
4 years 7000 rockets and how many homicide bombers and Israel said enough. But the world opinion is Israel is out of bounds. Terror pays, and Dr. Mads, and the protestors in this country only encourage them to continue.

I hate the evil MFs who teach their children to hate. That teach that hate and death are the only answers. The ones that brought this destruction to pass, and will use it to further more destruction. I pray for the people of Gaza, and I hope the ones behind the scenes, the hidden ones who are taking money to keep peace away at any cost, I hope those guys get it. They poison their peoples' minds with hate. Hate is easy. With hate you get an easy way, you don't have to forgive, you don't have to think. Israel and Palestine are at each others throat because of people outside of Israel and Palestine. There are wads of money being pumped into this conflict for the express purpose of conflict for conflicts sake. The Palestinians are Arabia's trained attack dog. They are good enough to kill the Jews, but they are not good enough to be allowed into the surrounding countries.

Hamas Steals Aid From Palestinians; Outrage to Follow?
The Israeli Defense Forces continue to face a good deal of heat from humanitarian groups such as Human Rights Watch, which say the military's tight cordon around Gaza City is taking a punishing toll on civilians who are in desperate need of humanitarian supplies.
Apparently Hamas, the terrorist "government" in Gaza, doesn't agree. As the Jerusalem Post reports:
Hamas on Monday raided some 100 aid trucks that Israel had allowed into Gaza, stole their contents and sold them to the highest bidders.
... Since the beginning of Operation Cast Lead, the IDF has facilitated the transfer of close to 900 trucks into the Gaza Strip with over 20,000 tons of basic food and medical supplies.
So Hamas loots 1 out of 9 aid trucks, not only stealing food and supplies from the mouths of its own people to fund more rockets but also jeopardizing Israel's inclination to allow future relief deliveries.
What are the chances that HRW, the United Nations, and other humanitarian organizations will now express the same outrage over relief access with Hamas that they showed with Israel? Far less than 1 in 9 is my guess.

And I'd bet it's been more than just those 100 aid trucks, too. As I've said before, Hamas gets to decide who gets what "goodies" and they save the very best aid for their leaders, some for their "fighters", swap the best of the rest for rockets and ammo, and give the crumbs remaining to the people THEY are supposed to be representing.

Well when you refer to someone as a "blood claat": you are calling them a piece of used female sanitary napkin.
A "rass claat" means a piece of used ass cloth... or used toilet paper.
They are very vile insults used among Jamaicans. Although some people will occasionally use them endearingly... I can't figure out why.

The current camera angle is pointed at the hill I've dubbed Merkava Ridge.
It got that name because I saw Merkava's and armored excavators working over that ridge and the surrounding area two nights ago. I believe that on the other side of that ridge is the Karni crossing point on the eastern Gaza border.
At the time, nobody else was reporting the presence of Israeli armor in Gaza City's outskirts.
I think that, in and of itself, is rather historical. We got to see live news , as it happened, from half a world away, in real time. We also got stark proof that Gaza City is not Stalingrad, Hue, or Berlin. It's not even close. It barely qualifys as a warzone, and it pales in comparison to a place like Sri Lanka or the Congo.

re: #1627 gringotipico
Ya know I think maybe YOU could add that "although LGF finished fourth, it has more readership than all of the three who finished above it, including the Canadian Blog, small dead animals. If LGF's influence is waning, it's only because there are more blogs out there now including Jihad Watch, deemed not fit for a postion in the final voting but which cheered Atlas Shruggs on 'to beat LGF' and encouraged it's readers to back Atlas Shruggs".

So if I can give you some advise, please do not use those words if you want to impress a Jamaican lady. You would be politely ignored.

Come on, folks. This has nothing to do with "influence waning." The Weblog Awards are based on silly Internet polls -- they do not measure anything real, and it's not difficult to manipulate them. It's supposed to be fun, nothing more, and it has exactly the significance any other Internet poll has -- zero.

If we learned nothing else from Ron Paul, it would be that.

Opened up the cam at 02:20 Gaza time (16:20 CST), after a few moments of quietude two LOUD explosions, a pause, then about a dozen more in rapid succession. Then hell broke loose. It appears that the shit is hitting the fan in Gaza. The cam caught it magnificently until it croaked at 17:00.

Israel hit some kind of underground bunker or complex. It's been burning for hours. Every hour they come back & hit it again.
