Eowyn, hands down (although I like Liv Tyler’s looks better than those of the other actress).

Eowyn kicked ass and took names. Arwen just sort of lay around and pined, mostly.

There where two snakes talking. The 1st one said ‘Sidney, are we the type of snakes who wrap ourselves around our prey and squeeze and crush until they’re dead? Or are we the type of snake who ambush our prey and bite them and they are poisioned?’. Then the second Snake says “Why do you ask?” The 1st one replies: “I just bit my lip!”

Hmmm….you may have a really valid point there. Wonder if the New York Times article had anything to do with it:

U.S. may convert banks’ bailouts to equity share

Let’s see, the Fed forces bailout money on the banks, balks at offers of repayment, then mulls over the idea of taking “equity” shares - with the concurrent control that comes along with it.

Sounds really familiar. Where have I seen this before? Wait, it’s coming to me.

Oh yeah.

Pamela Geller now promoting the BNP….
Check out her video post titled “PUSHBACK AGAINST MUSLIM EXTREMISTS IN THE UK”. Angry young men, lots of shaved heads, a little violence. Ok not that unusual. The video came from BNP blogger Lionheart. Hmmmmm…..

…In wades Peter Fehr to announce another march on Bank Holiday Monday, 13 April. In an email to supporters he does a reasonable job of organising the event, saying:

“This Demo is being well publicised all over Great Britain and over 20,000 people are expected to descend to Luton on the 13th April to show their disgust towards Muslim extremists. So please attend and bring friends, relatives and work colleges, and show your support by bringing along a Union Jack flag. The 13th is on Easter Monday, so this is a bank holiday, so no excuses, turn-up and show your support.”

On the other hand, later in the email he goes to some lengths to distance the BNP from the event, saying:

“I MUST STRESS THAT THIS DEMO IS NOT BEING ORGANIZED BY THE BNP. Please do not wear any BNP badges if you plan on going to this event.”

…A flyer for the march on the 13th was sent to the Searchlight offices on Blood and Honour notepaper. On it was a phone number, which turned out to be that of NF activist Stuart Hollingdale, the person who was jailed for three months in 1999 for daubing the Stephen Lawrence memorial with white paint. Hollingdale said that his erstwhile NF chum, none other than BNP parish councillor Simon Deacon, was briefing him on events in Luton.

Fehr’s involvement is not mentioned in either of the Star’s reports. Fehr is a former BNP activist who has supposedly “retired” from campaigning.

Was once flying back from Florida thru Atlanta. Waiting at the gate, hear a commotion coming from the desk at the gate. Flight attendant Screams “FUCK You and your plane” to the pilot and storms off. Pilot chases after her. Now we have noe pilot or flight attendant. 3 hours later another pilot and flight attendant show up. Missed my connecting flight and screwed up the entire trip. Haven’t flown Delta since. That was 2001.

Once upon a time, a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess happened upon a frog in a pond. The frog said to the princess, ” I once was a handsome prince until an evil witch put a spell on me. One kiss from you and I will turn back into a prince and then we can marry, move into the castle with my mom and you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children and forever feel happy doing so.” That night, while the princess dined on frog legs,she kept laughing and saying, “I don’t THINK so.”

As for the St. George’s Day event, I’ve explained some of the causes for concern about that (which is not the same as saying it should not be allowed) in previous blog entries: in particular, the main organiser is Paul Ray (”Lionheart”), an inflammatory pro-BNP blogger (”you should not judge these people who God is doing a work with and through”) who makes no distinction between moderate and extremist Muslims. Ray (who has featured on this blog a number of times, and whom even Little Green Footballs considers excessive) also expresses solidarity with a local group of football supporters called the “Luton Town MIGs“, which has a reputation for violence;

Pamela Geller now promoting the BNP….
Check out her video post titled “PUSHBACK AGAINST MUSLIM EXTREMISTS IN THE UK”. Angry young men, lots of shaved heads, a little violence. Ok not that unusual. The video came from BNP blogger Lionheart. Hmmmmm…..

Surprised?

I was unaware that the BNP was a “whites only” political party.

Whites-Only U.K. Party Seizes on Economic Slump to Fuel Gains

By Thomas Penny and Robert Hutton

March 10 (Bloomberg) — On their weekly visit to a local community center, Alby and Ellie Walker sip tea and swap gossip with retirees, putting a friendly face on a growing force that’s alarming the U.K. establishment: a whites-only party.

“We campaign all the time,” said Alby Walker, 51. “We never stop.”

The Walkers are councilors from Stoke-on-Trent for the British National Party, which has captured nine of the 60 local assembly seats by styling itself as a party of “community champions” and exploiting fears about immigration.

They are capitalizing on the biggest economic slump in three decades and mounting job losses. The activists are attracting support to their party — whose constitution bars all but “Indigenous Caucasian” people — in poorer districts historically allied with Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s Labour Party as they target their first seats in the European Parliament in June elections.

British National Party (BNP)

The British National Party (BNP) is a far-right and whites-only political party in the United Kingdom. The party is not represented in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. In the 2005 UK general election, the BNP received 0.7% of the popular vote, giving it the eighth largest share of the vote, although it was fifth overall among English seats. In the 2007 Welsh Assembly Election, it came fifth in terms of votes for the regional lists with 4.3% of the vote, winning no seats, also finishing fifth in the 2008 London mayoral election with 5.23% of the popular vote, as well as electing Mayoral candidate Richard Barnbrook to the London Assembly.

Remember, this is the same shrieking crazy person who recently smeared me as “linking up with neo-Nazis” because a Canadian white nationalist site had a link to LGF. (Along with links to CNN, Fox News, the Washington Post, and others.)

And now she’s literally, in reality, supporting British neo-Nazis.

Notice that she got this from Gates of Vienna.

re: #85 MandyManners

Do turtles hiss? When I was driving down the road a few minutes ago, I saw a HUGE turtle about to cross it. I stopped the car, got out, picked it up and set it back down on the other side of the road. It went nuts on me! I swear it hissed. Do turtles hiss?

Same thing happened to my husband a few years ago in NH. This BIG turtle was in the middle of a busy road. The thing hissed at him when he approached it. He nudged it off the road with a tire iron.

Welcome! from a mostly-lurking occasional poster ;~)

What does it say about our president when Hugo Chavez gift to him is far more thoughtful than any gift he has given other world leaders. Obama blithely points out that he is a reader so the gift was OK. Gordon Brown was know not to be a movie fan, and he got 25 DVDs, the queen, an iPod with Obama’s speeches.

re: #198 abbyadams

Welcome!

The comment on that thread from Atlas Shrggs are interesting…

From GoV comments is this translation of acronyms:

islam o’phobe saisd…

NF = National Front, a neo-Nazi political party.

ASBO = Anti-Social Behaviour Order. It’s a type of civil order the government uses to penalise anti-social behaviour, even if no laws have actually been transgressed.

And Baron Bodissey said…
LBC = Luton Borough Council.

…

Now lets see if other nations follow suit. It only takes one spark to start a forest fire.
The silent majority is no longer silent.

…

and further - Imagine Churchill’s reaction toward this. He’s turning in his grave.

Churchill’s son needs to just shut up and let the BNP continue to advertise using Churchill in their ads. Churchill’s son needs to just shut up altogether. If his dad were alive he would flail him into shape.
