We love Halloween, but it’s under attack by the forces of the Sky People. “Cease now oh children of devil spawn, rise up and speak no more of this night of horror–and remove those masks of the evil underworld.”

Catholic Church–you probably remember them from the Spanish Inquisition (among other horrors) says Halloween is the Devil’s work.

PC Brigade comes after scary masks

Pope says Halloween is dangerous

Islam says…”not a religious holiday at all. It glorifies evil. It’s a Pagan holiday, and it glorifies devil worship.

PS: I’m waiting for the PC Brigade to start calling Halloween RACIST (including being Islamophobic), or have they done that already?

Based upon what I’ve read about Sweden over the last couple of years, especially about the city Malmo, the country’s third largest this video represents the stark reality.This sort of ongoing problem of rioting and demands for Islamic law are driving many in France to have second thoughts about thier own multiculturalism.

The pro gender-apartheid crowd (C.A.I.R, NOW,  multiculturalists…) won’t like this one.

‘ Hillary Clinton has come out strongly against laws around the world that make religious defamation a crime, saying freedom of speech and religion should be equally upheld.

“Some claim that the best way to protect the freedom of religion is to implement so-called ‘anti-defamation’ policies that would restrict freedom of expression and the freedom of religion,” she said on presenting a department report on religious freedom.

“I strongly disagree. The United States will always … stand against discrimination and persecution … But an individual’s ability to practice his or her religion has no bearing on others’ freedom of speech,” Clinton said.

“The protection of speech about religion is particularly important since persons of different faith will inevitably hold divergent views on religious questions. These differences should be met with tolerance, not with the suppression of discourse,” she added. ‘ Article here.

The truth is out there and here it is.

FLASH… ESPN suspends sportcaster Bob Griese. What happened?  Well I’ll tell you. Turns out Bob is a Nazi taco RACIST. “During ESPN’s broadcast of the Minnesota-Ohio State game Saturday, a graphic was shown listing the top five drivers in NASCAR’s points race. Fellow analyst Chris Spielman asked where was Montoya, who is Colombian. Griese replied he was “out having a taco.” Holy shit. Out having a taco? What is it Martin Luter King Rodney King said?…Can’t we all get along? Obviously not with taco Nazi mass killer screaming poison punker taco RACISTS like Griese spewing out his RACISM and Nazism and filthy RACIST Nazi punkism on national TV. Read the RACIST taco story here.

Note: please boycott Taco Bell; they make the tacos used by RACISTS.

Personal note: I want to inject this personal note if I may. It’s been playing on my mind for some time now (and they say confession is good for the soul). One of my aunts is Spanish and once when she was visiting us my mother asked where Aunt Lucinda [not her real name; the name has been changed to protect the innocent] was. I told my mother she, Aunt Lucinda (again not her real name], was probably at the Mexican restaurant in town eating a taco. I confess and regret to say that at the time I did not know this was a Nazi phrase probably used many times by Hitler and Eichmann and Dr. Mengele. I am happy to state that I do not use this horrendous RACIST phrase anymore.

Yeah, if you’ve had any doubts that Western multiculturalist ideology had any at least token cells of rationality left in their collective mind please think again.

Fresh from the Brit papers: “…A militant Islamic group was given more than £113,000 of taxpayers money to run a nursery and two primary schools. Members of Hizb ut-Tahrir used the cash to teach children as young as five about their beliefs. The group – which Tony Blair promised to ban after the 7/7 attacks on London – were given £113,411 to provide the three educational centres in Tottenham and Slough…” (If you follow the bizarre state of leftist agenda in the mother country this will probably not be a surprise to you.)

Don’t forget to read this bit of crazy stuff ; it’s an example of how democracy is going the way of the dinosaur–it’s becoming a mere two pound Tyrannosaurus.

Anyplace but here.

Like probably most Americans I think moderate immigration is a good thing for the country. But have you ever wondered why, even in a time of high unemployment and social tension in America, the government still allows in a couple of  million people a year, both legal and illegal? It has to do with implementing multiculturalism. That is the sole reason. Read this article about immigration in Britain under the left wing Labour Party. It’s exactly what’s happening here in the States.

“…Huge increases in immigration over the past decade were a deliberate attempt to engineer a more multicultural Britain, a former Government adviser said yesterday. Andrew Neather, a speechwriter who worked in Downing Street for Tony Blair and in the Home Office for Jack Straw and David Blunkett, said Labour’s relaxation of controls was a plan to ‘open up the UK to mass migration’. As well as bringing in hundreds of thousands to plug labour market gaps, there was also a ‘driving political purpose’ behind immigration policy…” Article here. Here’s another article on this story.

Move over Kafka (as in The Trial) …Quoting from Mister:

“Never would he have imaged that he would one day find himself in such a situation. There he was, a respectable businessman and law-abiding citizen, an intelligent person with a post-graduate education and the subject of articles in the most prestigious scientific and business journals, lying on the floor of a holding cell, in the dark, on remand, suspected of vile crimes and dubious associations, forming part of a sudorous human carpet alongside all manner of tattoed thugs, drug addicts, and common criminals. The overcrowding inside the cell made it impossible to see the floor: chests were pressed against backs, groins against glutei, and shoes against faces; detainees slept on their sides, using each other’s heads or feet as pillows. He had chosen the latter, the kinky hair of black men appearing at best too prickly for him. The temperature exceeded what old-fashioned thermometers were able to register; the walls and ceiling perspired with condensation; there was a constant murmur of breathing and snoring, sniped at every second by coughing, sneezing, and throat-clearing. The air was thicker than lentil soup, and pungent with the stench of perspiration, flatulence, and tooth decay. He was very concerned with keeping his Saville Row suit in good state of repair. Appearances mattered.

I’ve read the book (The Men Who Stare At Goats) and now it’s coming out as a movie (demonstrates the power of my psychic make-it-happen ability).

“…Though the practice of nodding off midflight in the cockpit is prohibited by the FAA, U.S. airlines and pilot unions say there is a growing body of research supporting the notion that so-called controlled napping by part of a cockpit crew can enhance safety by making crews more alert during critical, often hectic descents and landings…” Here.

So back to the bus? Yeah, sure, in a bus you’re sitting next to people who smell like piss, drink out of a brown paper bag and speak a non Earth language but it comes down to a question of whether or not you want to take your chances with a driver falling asleep at seventy mph or a plane traveling at 500 straight down. We report, you decide.

The art of lying

Lying  through inference. In this article/interview, replete with many examples, Errol Morris tells us about Seven Lies About Lying. …You see, he says, taking an example from the Bible, “They take his coat, rip it, smear it with blood, and show it to Jacob. They don’t tell Jacob that Joseph was eaten by a wild beast; Jacob makes the false inference himself. My theory is that deceit does not require language. To lie, you have to make a statement. You have to say something in words for it to be a lie. But deceit only requires misdirection. All it requires is the intent to have someone think something that is different from what you believe…”

Is the future Mandarin?

Posted: October 22, 2009 in Current events
Tags: , ,

As English was for the 19th and 20th centuries will Mandarin be the language of choice for the 21st? With the decline of the U.S. and the rise of China, Chinese-Americans have a good idea where their future loyalty lies and are making it a priority to teach their children Mandarin. It’s a choice between that, or learning Cantonese. Here.

It sounds like the title of a Perry Mason episode, but it’s really just another account of the continuing saga of that dreaded human invention–manipulation: “…It was the 1936 presidential election. The issues would be familiar to today’s voters. Roosevelt, the eastern Democrat, arguing for the intervention of government in the economy, and Alf Landon, the midwestern Republican, arguing for a laissez-faire approach free of government controls and intervention. Roosevelt, campaigning for a second term, was on a train (“the Dustbowl Special”) headed towards the Dakota badlands. Everything was in place for a series of photo opportunities and news stories that would cast his efforts to fight the drought in the best possible light. But, unknown to F.D.R., a controversy was brewing, a controversy involving photography…” from a N.Y. Times’ seven part series here.

“The white city”

Posted: October 22, 2009 in Uncategorized

From New Geography “…Among the media, academia and within planning circles, there’s a generally standing answer to the question of what cities are the best, the most progressive and best role models for small and mid-sized cities. The standard list includes Portland, Seattle, Austin, Minneapolis, and Denver. In particular, Portland is held up as a paradigm, with its urban growth boundary, extensive transit system, excellent cycling culture, and a pro-density policy. These cities are frequently contrasted with those of the Rust Belt and South, which are found wanting, often even by locals, as “cool” urban places. But look closely at these exemplars and a curious fact emerges. If you take away the dominant Tier One cities like New York, Chicago and Los Angeles you will find that the “progressive” cities aren’t red or blue, but another color entirely: white…”

A NY Times journalist in the hands of the Taliban: “…He spoke a smattering of English, and my own beliefs seemed to interest and amaze him. During our six weeks together, he asked me a series of questions. Was it true, he asked, that a necktie was a secret symbol of Christianity? Was it true that Christians wanted to live 1,000 years? As the weeks passed, our captivity became increasingly surreal. My Taliban guards slept beneath bedspreads manufactured by a Pakistani textile company and emblazoned with characters from the American television show “Hannah Montana” and the movie “Spider-Man.” My blanket was a pink Barbie comforter…First hand NY Tines article here.

There’s an informative article here (by Alex Kurtagic) about the varieties of Metal music. Called White Noise, it could perhaps be also called music of the ice people, and asks the question What would the [music] world “look like today had North American settlers snubbed the African slave traders in the 18th and 19th centuries. We can let our imaginations run wild with speculation, but one thing is certain: had the slave markets in Africa been starved of custom, our Pop music charts would look nothing like they do today…” Today we know of Germany’s Heavy Metal group Rammstein, of course, but were you aware of Viking Metal? How about Black Metal? Folk Metal? Martial-Industrial? Metal? Anyway, here’s some examples taken from the article at Taki’s Mag:

*It’s OK. Really. It’s not just one meal: “…average individual Germans consume four cows, four calves, four sheep, 46 pigs, 37 ducks and 46 turkeys as well as 12 geese and 945 chickens.” Adds up to 1000 animals altogether. By the way, this adds up to almost as many calories contained in a Big Mac.

*Goldman-Sachs getting really rich–off that old black magic: corporate welfare:

  1. 10 Billion in TARP
  2. 11 Billion from the Fed
  3. 30 Billion from the FDIC
  4. 13 Billion from AIG

*From World Net Daily: “While mocking an explosive new book that presents internal documents showing it is a U.S. front for global jihad, the Washington, D.C.-based Council on American-Islamic Relations [CAIR]  is trumpeting a keynote speaker at its 15th annual banquet next week who was an uninidicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing investigation and who told New Jersey Muslims the U.S. government would one day be taken over by an Islamic caliphate…” Are we headed up this alley? Why are we taking in these radical immigrants? Are current immigration policies insane? Wait, don’t answer that.

*Stanley Crouch speaks of Tawana Brawley and  “why caution and skepticism should guide the reactions of all in authority whenever a potentially volatile charge of racism is made.”

*”Forget tipping and focus on the waiters. Especially those having sex in the broom cupboard…” It’s all in a day’s work in “the daily opera of madness.” (Note: I just hope they wash their hands afterwards.)

*So-called Princeton scholars say the Amazon Kindle shits, though not in so many words. I personally think it’s pretty cool, though it ties you to Amazon. Yeah, it’s like everything you do you do on the plantation; you can’t ever leave the damn plantation. Everything you read must come from the master.

*Now this is rich. Mexicans in Mexico are fed up with illegal aliens from Central America: “The numbers are over the top…They have invaded neighborhoods. They steal, they kidnap, they rape.”

*Looks like this whole episode with the kid in the runaway balloon was a lousy hoax by the family. What the authorities are going to have to do is get the truth out of this little kid. He’s going to have to be waterboarded.

*Somalian Islamist group al Shabaab publicly whips women for wearing bras; wearing bras violates Islam by constituting a deception. Some big questions for Islamic theologists:  How did they know they weren’t wearing bras? Does wearing a push-up bra mean more lashes from the whip?  How do Islamists contend with loose non-braed jiggling breasts when women are running from lecherous imams?

*I love the Fall Halloween season. But are  there such things as inappropriate Halloween costumes? I’m an extraordinarily open-minded guy but I think  these , for the most part, would certainly fit the inappropriate category.

*MSNBC’s Keith Oldermann (or Oldmanderbin or Oldderman or whatever) says Michelle Malkin is “the worst person in the world [at least for this week]…her total mindless, morally bankrupt, knee-jerk, fascistic hatred, without which Michelle Malkin would just be a mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick on it.” I can’t stand Michelle Malkin but a mashed up piece of meat with…gives hyperbole a bad name.

*Prisoner of the Taliban fanatics. “Living side by side with the Haqqanis’ followers, I learned that the goal of the hard-line Taliban was far more ambitious. Contact with foreign militants in the tribal areas appeared to have deeply affected many young Taliban fighters. They wanted to create a fundamentalist Islamic emirate with Al Qaeda that spanned the Muslim world…”

Know your country’s history week. Of course everyone’s familiar with the Columbine and Virginia Tech killings but did you know there was a school massacre that had more deaths than Columbine and Virginia Tech combined?

2/ Some onlookers collected bowel residue for sourvinirs…

3/ “Mayday”

I don’t always agree with Glenn Beck. He’s too dramatic for me (that crying game has to stop) and the fact that he takes solace with the Bible, for example, leaves me non-plussed. But when he unearths some zingers about the opposition he’s right on target and is one of the few on Big TV that’s not afraid to speak his mind.

If you’re interested in reading about Mao start off with Mao: The Unknown Story. Mao was a sadist and torturer, and a murderer worse than Stalin or even Pol Pot (well, maybe not as bad as good ol’ Pol). Beck is right. Praising Mao is no better than praising  Hitler. Both had political philosphies that led to mass extermination. The crux of that philosophy was this–end justifies means.

(Note: I believe other politicians have quoted Mao for one reason or another–but not as one of their favorite political philosophers (which, after all, is the key point; by all means correct me if I’m wrong.)

In short the Peter Principle is this: that someone who is in a high position, whether through assignment or promotion, is not qualified to hold that position, either because of temperment, lack of knowledge of what’s required for handling the demands of that job, election or, well…etc., etc… We can see this played out daily in the heads of our banking system, especially in the leadership of the Federal Reserve. We see it in our government officials. The Peter Principle is everyswhere on display–just below the surface. Officially it is the principle that “In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence”, a proposition  formulated by Dr. Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull back in 1969 (The Peter Principle).

So widespread is this phenomenon now that the term is coming into prominent use again, but with a less polite rendering: Peter Principle is now simply Fakery. Times Online, for example, offers this:

“When it comes, it will be a gentle tap on the shoulder. A low, kind voice. “C’mon, Senior. Vacate the chair. The real columnist is back, and wants her space. Get your coat.” And off I will shuffle, unmasked as a fake, back to writing nuggets of news in brief. Imposter phenomenon. The unremitting conviction that you are employed on a fraudulent basis, that your talents are inadequate, and only quirks of fate and circumstance mean that you are sitting in the chair doing your job, rather than the countless others who are better qualified to do it. Faking it…”

BTW, here’s a good introduction to The Peter Principle.

You’ve no doubt all seen that story about the balloon where authroities thought a six year old boy was trapped inside the wayward flying saucer-shaped craft…well here are what some Brits said about it in the comments Atlantissection of an across-the-pond story of the incident. Evidently a lot of them don’t think too highly of the States.

*ONE BIG CON – ANOTHER YANKY STUNT – TUT……SAME AS THE MOON LANDING….HUH – YOUR ALL FAKE, Nottingham, 16/10/2009 5:22

*A TOTAL overeaction by the US media as usual. – Anne, West Midlands, 16/10/2009 7:20

*Only in America would there be 200 orders of T shirts relating to the event with ‘Go, Falcon, Go’ (when the boy was believed afloat) to ‘I Believe’ (when he was reported missing). Please God, don’t let us Brits go down that cheesy, vomit-inducing road!!! I couldn’t bear it. – Lesley, Cardiff, 16/10/2009 6:45

*Now what IS funny is all those poor Americans gasping and wringing their hands with worry watching the whole ‘publicity stunt’ unfolding live on their television screens.  – patricia, edinburgh, 16/10/2009 3:36

Yeap, I think they have our number all right.

Certainly seems that way: American racial PC:You probably haven’t read much about this crime on the national level over the last couple of years (it happened in ’07). It had been nicely hushed up except for some local coverage, but now at least some main British media are bringing it to the attention of the  general public. You haven’t seen racebaiters Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, or even Obama getting involved with this one. There won’t be a beer summit.  I’ve heard this expression before–hush crime. It’s especially employed for black on white crimes.

Wrestler/manager Lou Albino dead. I don’t know what he died of exactly–I didn’t bother reading the article– but a couple of years ago I was at Monster Mania  (or maybe it was Chiller theater) here in New Jersey and while visiting the mens’ room I saw Lou Albino, one of the guests at the convention,  entering the stall. He was making some strange sounds in there. It lasted for about five or six seconds but it was enough for me to leave the urinal before I was adequately–bladderwise– done. Later on I saw him signing autographs at the table with other famous wrestlers; he seemed fine and garrulous, though a little red-faced. I didn’t get an autograph (I didn’t know if he had washed his hands after the stall visit) but I did wonder what strange mixture of gases and fluids had been churning in his huge belly.

My name is Nikole Churchill, a senior nursing major at Hampton University. This past Friday October 9, 2009, I was honored to be crowned Miss Hampton University 2009-2010. It truly was the best night of my life! With that being said, I am sad to say…… that my crowning was not widely accepted and many negative comments regarding my win have been shared throughout my campus.

It would be much easier to say that possibly some were not accepting of the news because I wasn’t the most qualified contestant; however, the true reason for the disapproval was because of the color of my skin. I am not African-American.

Yeah, I know they’re teaching in schools that Christopher Columbus was a Racist, Raper, Drunk and Heroin Addict, Global Warmist and Murderer (equipped with a magical Euro-Racist Global Warming weapon) . But did you know the indians were even worse, well at least as bad as the whites?

“…Locked in the sweet embrace of balmy sleep, all unconscious of danger, the little band of emigrants were attacked about daybreak the next morning by the Indians, who creeping close to camp, fired upon their unsuspecting victims, killing some and wounding others. A heart rending scene ensued. Young Russell was shot through both hips and was unable to attempt escape. As the Indians would run up with their knives to stab him he would seize the naked blades with his hands and thus had them badly mangled and was finally tortured in a most barbaric manner. Young Boone was also shot through his hips, breaking them both and rendering him helpless. He recognized among the Indians Big Jim, a Shawnee warrior, who had often shared the hospitality of his father’s house. His unusually high cheek bones and broad face, with a singularly peculiar chin, rendered it almost impossible for anyone who had ever known him to fail instantly to recognize his remarkable features. James Boone implored him by name to spare his life, but former friendship, past favors, nor present misfortunes made any sensible impressions on the adamantine heart of the blood thirsty warrior. The Indians tortured young Boone by pulling out his toe and finger nails when he besought Jim at once to put him out of his misery. At the same time young Russell was suffering similar tortures, when Boone remarked to him that he presumed his parents, brothers and sisters were all killed by the Indians. At length both young sufferers were severely stabbed and probably tomahawked when death like an angel of mercy came to their relief. Both the Mendenhalls and young Drake were among the slain, one of whom, at the time ran off and was neither found nor heard of at that period, but many years after some of the family of Mr. John Thorpe, residing nearby, found the bones of a man between two high ledges of rocks about an eighth of a mile above the defeated camp, which was supposed to have been those of the missing man, who had probably been mortally wounded in the attack, fled as far as he could, and crawled between the ledges and died. The Negro Adam fortunately escaped unhurt, hid himself in some driftwood on the bank of the creek close at hand and was an unwilling spectator of the painful scene enacted at the camp. Crabtree although wounded, also effected his escape and first reached the settlement, while Adam, getting lost, was eleven days making his way to the frontier inhabitants. The other Negro Charles, older and less active than Adam was taken prisoner by the Indians who carried him off with the horses and every other article they esteemed of value. When they had gone about 40 miles, getting into a dispute about the ownership of the Negro, the leader of the party put an end to the quarrel by tomahawking the poor captive…” Here.

bin Laden as camper

Posted: October 11, 2009 in Uncategorized

bin Laden, it seems, has read the boy scout manual; I wonder if he ever received his religious war merit badge? …One night in Khartoum, Sudan, Osama bin Laden decides to take his family — four wives, 14 children — on a camping trip. He drives into the desert, finds an isolated spot, then has his oldest sons dig ditches in the sand, long enough to fit each person. It’s the early 1990s, and bin Laden believes there’s a war coming between Muslims and the Western infidels. This is training. “You must be gallant. Do not think about foxes or snakes,” he says. “Challenging trials are coming to us.” Each child, including a few 1- and 2-year-olds, lies in a hollow. There is no water or food. Here.

The human experience…

The bad: “Angry neighbors claim Fersedy bathes in a stairwell using a hose, relieves himself in the yard, plays his radio all night and walks around half-nude…” Here.

The good: It’s clear that we still hold a fellow human being to a higher hygienic standard than a dog; after all, dogs urinate (among other things) in the yard all the time and we say nothing.

“The newest moniker to join this happy parade is “cougar”. Cougars aren’t new — the term was first coined in America in the 1990s, but it’s now everywhere thanks to a US television series called Cougar Town, starring Courteney Cox Arquette, formerly the anally retentive one in Friends. As a result of its screening on ABC, women, it seems, are queuing up to call themselves cougars, although “total dingbat” might be more appropriate….What bothers me, though, is the way in which women are no longer allowed (by anyone, themselves included) to be anything other than sexual. If you’re not up for it, you might as well be dead: get with it, nanna, flash us some cleavage….” Here.

Bitch! “Hey, Miley Cyrus, you made $25 million last year – toss a dollar in the tip cup [bitch]. The “Hannah Montana” star got $70 worth of steak and mac and cheese for herself and sister Brandi [bitches] at the Outback Steakhouse in Burbank last Sunday. Our spy says she [bitch] pulled an envelope of Benjamins out of her purse and handed one over, “but she [bitch] kept all the change.” Here. Advice to Outback guys: put all you Hannah Montana stuff in a big pile outside the building and hire a steamroller to run over it (that’s what I’m doing).

Case of the all to0 itchy trigger finger. Now this is funny: Florida man gets up in the middle of the night after hearing an intruder in the hallway– right, you already know the rest of the story. Anyway here’s the really funny part:  ” ‘I thought I had an intruder in the house. Honest to God, she looks dead,’  he told the operator between sobs. ‘We were supposed to get married this Saturday.’ “

And Dlisted says (direct quote)…”Here’s a little tale that will tickle your tonsils and make your genitals pass out. Some source (*cough*Tommy’s dildo cleaner*cough*) told OK! Magazine (via Showbiz Spy) that Stepford Katie is helping her alien master lose some chunk in his titties by giving sex to him any chance she gets. I tried picturing these two assholes rubbing on each other, but all I got was a 404 error…”

At some point in the future the computer as we know it now will be as obsolete as composing on a rock with a chisel (like Fred Flintsone did). Our very minds will be chip-implanted; maybe DNA components will be wirelessly at our disposal. Maybe someday all the world’s knowledge will be contained in every fetus…

Mark Twain once wrote of that incredible device, the type machine… “I have dictated to a typewriter before–but not autobiography. Between that experience and the present one there lies a mighty gap– more than thirty years! It is sort of lifetime. In that wide interval much has happened–to the type-machine as well as to the rest of us. At the beginning of that interval a type-machine was a curiosity. The person who owned one was a curiosity, too. But now it is the other way about: the person who doesn’t own one is a curiosity. I saw a type-machine for the first time in–what year? I suppose it was 1873…” 1904. VILLA QUARTO, FLORENCE, JANUARY…(here)

H. L. Mencken on idealism

Posted: October 8, 2009 in Books
Tags: , ,

It’s true: ideological idealism is the cause of all human misery (hey, if you don’be believe me read the Big Boys).

“An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup.”

“Any man who afflicts the human race with ideas must be prepared to see them misunderstood.”

“There is always a well-known solution to every human problem–neat, plausible, and wrong.”

“To die for an idea; it is unquestionably noble. But how much nobler it would be if men died for ideas that were true!”

There’s a great collection of Mencken quotes here (with citations). (BTW, this site, Read Print, has an enormous collection of full classic works.)

“…Mr. Morgan, like many other American homebuyers who tell similar tales of woe, is blaming the drywall in his new home — specifically, drywall from China, imported during the housing boom to meet heavy demand — that he says is contaminated with various sulfur compounds…While tainted Chinese imports like toothpaste, pet food and baby formula have been quickly removed from store shelves, drywall is installed throughout homes and does not lend itself to a quick fix. This month, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, whose investigation into Chinese drywall is the largest in its history…”

Yeap. the ever growing infamous list of dangerous Chinese products is staggering (that’s why you’ll never see me in Wal-Mart without a gas mask and a Super Heroes escort). I wouldn’t even buy Chinese-made  flip-flop sandals (btw, don’t click on this link if you’re eating) from them.

I have a good idea of what Chinese products we’re going to find next in the list: socks that leak radioactivity, eggs containing Swine Flu, mouthwash that dissolves your teeth, halloween masks that leave your face in the shape of the mask, dog food made from feline leukemia cats, fortune cookies tainted with dynamite…oh, and let’s not forget women’s underwear that will cause the wearer to become pregnant with a Tibetan monk child.

Pssssssst, actually they’re both retarded………And, of course, here you go: I still love her [Madonna],” he says. He takes a breath, drives through a red light. If no one is ahead of him, Guy Ritchie does not typically stop. “But she’s retarded, too.”………………”You can’t tell someone when they’re getting divorced that their pain is an illusion,” he says. “I’m fucking telling you, I feel it, I’ve been through that. You have, too. No one can say you don’t feel that.” Here.

The history of the human race is the history of conquest and defeat; no group of whatever race is exempt.

Glorious news for the Paradise bound: “The Women of Paradise Are Pure, Unblemished, Menstruation-Free, Free of Feces, Urine, Phlegm, Children–and pure white.” Yes,  Saudi cleric Sheikh Muhammad al-Munajid) promises–and on Saudi TV mind you–that the virgins Muslims get in paradise will be white girls. Pure white. According to al-Munajid suicide bombers, for example, will be rewarded with 72  pure women–not one of whom will be other than a white girl (in other words, not one will be “black or Indian, or even Arab or Iranian”). Read here.

(BTW this is the same cleric that once had a run-in with Mickey Mouse.)

“A Saudi court on Wednesday convicted a man for publicly talking about sex after he bragged on a TV talk show about his exploits, sentencing him to five years in jail and 1,000 lashes…” TV talk show sex talk. (Can you imagine Dave Letterman discussing his intern sexcapades there? He’d be sent to chop street; that’s where these religious freaks behead people.)

Now this article hits home (it’s from “The Guardian”): “I’m fairly certain I recently passed a rather pathetic tipping point, and now own more unread books and unwatched DVDs than my remaining lifespan will be able to sustain. I can’t possibly read all these pages, watch all these movies, before the grim reaper comes knocking. The bastard things are going to outlive me. It’s not fair…”

Balkanization of America…” ‘There’s a long-term harm when Americans accept balkanization as a way of life,’ says Benjamin, who is an African American. ” ‘Segregation can appear to allay social tensions, but it worsens them in the long run. Optimal democracies require more than voting; they require social integration and involvement…’ ” Here.

South Africa: The nature of injuries sustained in military-style attacks on farms and suburban houses are not of a civil or even criminal nature. At a recent medical conference on trauma surgery held in the US, a high- ranking officer from the US army called the South African delegate aside and told her: “Judging from the type of injuries you have shown us, I am afraid there is a war in your country. Such injuries do not occur in peacetime.”
