Let’s sell the Wahabbis weapons! I mean, it isn’t like they’re high strung, evil, and hate us or anything, right?

The US is hoping to contain Iran by building up the defences of Saudi Arabia and the neighbouring Gulf states.

In the past, Congress proved difficult over arms sales to Saudi Arabia, reflecting Israeli objections but also because of Osama bin Laden’s links to the country. But, focused on the midterm elections, concerned about saving US jobs, and also regarding Iran as a major threat, it is unlikely to create problems.

Ooo, I like how this article mentions the influence of ze Jooooooz. But really, how can America sell her soul for a few jobs? This has to be blocked. Write your congressional rep. American lawmakers are all scared right now about the upcoming election, which is in just 13 days. Make it clear that selling weapons to our mortal enemy is a deal breaker for you.

Maybe if someone had chained that fucker up in a basement, the world wouldn’t have the problems it has today.

A semi-comatose Saudi man has been chained in a basement apartment for more than six years because his father believes he is possessed by an evil female genie.

‘When he has fits he has convulsions and his entire body twists and his eyes become completely white,’ said the father of the 29-year-old man who has been identified only as Turki.

‘Then the voice of a woman can be heard coming from him.’

So did they lock him up because he was possessed, or because he was possessed by a woman?

Proof that Darwinism is real.

Dozens of Russians, many of them drunk, are drowning daily as they head to water to escape a heatwave, an emergencies ministry official said on Wednesday.

Vodka-drinking groups — some with small children — can be seen at lakes and ponds in and around the Russian capital where the current three-week heatwave may set a record of 37 Celsius (98.6 Fahrenheit) this weekend.

And that’s how we won the Cold War…

In the past 4 nights or so, I’ve been plagued by dozens of nightmares. While I have always endured nightmares - 2 or 3 a week since infancy - This is a bit extreme. The only possible explanation is the presence of Barack Obama in such close proximity. I’ll be glad when the G20 is over.

In yet another nod to the protection of fledgling self-esteem, an Ottawa children’s soccer league has introduced a rule that says any team that wins a game by more than five points will lose by default.

The Gloucester Dragons Recreational Soccer league’s newly implemented edict is intended to dissuade a runaway game in favour of sportsmanship. The rule replaces its five-point mercy regulation, whereby any points scored beyond a five-point differential would not be registered.

Kevin Cappon said he first heard about the rule on May 20 — right after he had scored his team’s last allowable goal. His team then tossed the ball around for fear of losing the game.

He said if anything, the league’s new rule will coddle sore losers.

This is how societies die. Not from attack, but from suicide. Imagine what our grandparents would have thought about such a thing, after facing down Nazis, the Great Depression and more.

I have never been graceful. I could play games like hockey (ball) and soccer (defense) because they required more brute strength than speed or grace. Field Day at the end of the school year would cause knots in my gut, because I knew I wouldn’t be fast enough to suit my team. I always got picked last for games like basketball or baseball. But I never, ever - even at my youngest and whiniest - thought to handicap the winners so I wouldn’t get my feelings hurt. I would rather not play at all than see my team lose!

When kids grow up and finally move out of their parents’ homes (around age 40), they will have no idea what it’s like to fail. They will never have bounced a check, lost a game or been turned down for anything they desired. At which point we will leave ourselves wide open for takeover from a stronger, more resilient culture.

God help us.

H/t Halls of Macadamia

I don’t tend to be the overly religious sort, but this kinda caught my eye during a little pre-snooze Bible reading last night:

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind

And the heaven departed as a scrole when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

No Mayans could be reached for comment.

Make the earth move, baby!

A senior Iranian cleric has claimed that dolled-up women incite extramarital sex, causing more earthquakes in Iran, a country that straddles several fault lines, newspapers reported on Saturday.

“Many women who dress inappropriately … cause youths to go astray, taint their chastity and incite extramarital sex in society, which increases earthquakes,” Ayatollah Kazem Sedighi told worshippers at Friday prayers in Tehran.

“Calamities are the result of people’s deeds,” he was quoted as saying by reformist Aftab-e Yazd newspaper. “We have no way but conform to Islam to ward off dangers.”

The Islamic dress code is mandatory in Iran, which has been under clerical rule for more than three decades.

Every post-pubescent woman regardless of her religion or nationality must cover her hair and bodily contours in public. Offenders face punishment and fine.

Christ has been removed from Christmas. Islam and terror have been removed from Islamic terrorism. We’re so goddam scared of the word “nigger”. Under God is Under Threat.

And now, us fatties are offended.

[O]ne council has been condemned after it announced it would consider banning the word ‘obese’ because it could offend fat children.

Town hall bosses want to want to replace it with the phrase ‘unhealthy weight’ so children are not stigmatised.

The move has caused fury among parents and anti-obesity campaigners who have branded the scheme ‘ preposterous and laughable.’

But health campaigners say they are concerned it will lead to the issue of obese children  not being taken seriously enough.

The proposal was made by a group of 90 schoolchildren taking part in the Liverpool Schools’ Parliament when the council asked them to come up with a variety of ideas as part of its Children and Young People’s Plan (CYPP).

According to Janet Napolitano, acts of terror like those committed on September 11, 2001 should be referred to as “man made disasters”. That means 19 Arabs with poison in their hearts and Jihad in their pants should be on the same level as a drunken ship’s captain who slicked up a bunch of waterfowl.

Three thousand dead humans in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia mean no more than a bunch of ducks. Is Janet Napolitano a member of PETA, by chance?

That title isn’t an effort on my part to be racially divisive regarding the Obama administration. No, such a thing actually exists. Their logo is blood spattered, to mimic a gunshot wound, which is wholly appropriate.

Anyone who hasn’t gone to great effort to purge the memory from their mind may remember hip hop “star” Ludacris (so spelled in order to keep urban populations as illiterate as possible) bringing out a “song” during the Obama campaign telling America to paint the White House black. Ludacris and other rappers are part of this so-called Hip Hop Caucus, founded in 2004, whose mission statement claims:

The mission of the Hip Hop Caucus is to work towards ending urban poverty for the next generation. We organize young people in urban communities to be active in elections, policymaking, and service projects. Our priority issues are Urban Poverty, Urban Planning, Climate Change, Healthcare, Public Education, and Criminal Justice.

They also state: Our work re-shapes how young people of color are viewed by the media, elected officials, and the public.

On that point I would say all of hip hop have been very successful in taking an already marginalized community and turning them into an organized band of thugs. Excellent work!

They are not a caucus that is officially affiliated with government, but they are a lobby group with not inconsiderable influence. For example:

The US rap star T.I., who has worked with a political lobbying group with growing influence in Washington, is to serve less than a year in jail after being convicted of illegal possession of machine guns.

This should not come as a surprise to anyone. The courts know which way the wind blows in an Obamanation. Take one criminally affiliated black man, install him in the highest office in the land via the illegal methods of ACORN and a willing liberal media. Surround him with tax cheats who have never faced a day in court for their crimes. Praise him for his integrity. And watch the country sink deeper and deeper into the mire.

Word.

Apparently NOT past-tense of “pigs fly”. Who knew?

There’s a lot of blame flying around the Internet these days. Illegals. Border control. Blah blah (according to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, it might as well be Maple Flu, because Canada & Mexico are exactly the same) blah.

Except for the most part, Swine Flu isn’t creeping up from Mexico via illegal immigrants. Swine Flu is coming because of you, my dear reader. And me. And many of the people in my nice, middle class WASP/Jew neighborhood. Our great middle classes, bored and upwardly mobile, taking dirt-cheap all-inclusive booze vacations in Mexico. It’s an interesting chain of events…

* Consuela lives in a hovel with pigs, chickens and children all running around the yard in various states of filth
* To pay her rent, Consuela works fluffing pillow for gringos in a nice hotel in the next town
* A nice white middle class family from Kent, England decides to take a vacation at an all-inclusive hotel resort in Mexico
* Consuela, who is accustomed to the filth of her pigs, carries disease without it harming her in any way
* Consuela fluffs the pillow of Mr. & Mrs. Kent - dust from the pillows makes her sneeze
* Mr. & Mrs. Kent spend 7 days with reduced immunity due to the amount of rum & tequila they are consuming by the pool
* Mr. & Mrs. Kent fall into bed on their nicely fluffed pillows, rip-roaring drunk every night
* After 7 days of drunken debauchery, Mr. & Mrs. Kent hop back on the plane to England (or Canada or Iowa or wherever), feeling a little run down and sniffly, probably figuring it’s a change in climate they weren’t accustomed to
* Consuela tidies up a room at the hotel a few weeks later, and sees a discarded newspaper. When she picks it up, she catches a headline that says 500 people in the town of Kent, England died of Swine Flu
*Consuela shrugs, finishes her job, clocks out for the day and goes home to feed the pigs

So here’s a health tip: The cheapest, most booze-laden vacation might not be the best one to take. And you teenage boys in Texas and SoCal? You may want to fuck the local hookers instead of trotting town to Tijuana and Mexico City. Just sayin’.

On a tip from Sondra K:

I pulled up to Al’s house, located in the posh Belle Meade section of Nashville, at 8:48pm – right in the middle of Earth Hour. I found that the main spotlights that usually illuminate his 9,000 square foot mansion were dark, but several of the lights inside the house were on. …

The kicker, though, were the dozen or so floodlights grandly highlighting several trees and illuminating the driveway entrance of Gore’s mansion.

I [kid] you not, my friends, the savior of the environment couldn’t be bothered to turn off the gaudy lights that show off his goofy trees.

In their zealousness to over-legislate everything, California has decided that blacks are bad for the environment. They get to hot and bothered.

I was talking about cars. What were you thinking?

So what about a red Corvette? Too dark? How about burgundy, or are we stuck with pink? And what about visitors to California? Will Grandpa have to pay a sin tax on his navy blue Cadillac when he visits from Nevada?

This morning on my way to the deli, I took this pic on the NE corner of Avenue Road and Eglinton.

“Hang Omar Khadr” - a sentiment I completely share - has been scratched out and the words “be peaceful” have been written. Why do I hear the British Columbia Human Rights kangaroos preaching to Mark Steyn about his “tone”?

Ever since I started working from home, I have celebrated No-Pants Friday. Try that at the office, you cubicle whores!

I have a few things on my plate today, like an 11th hour re-write for Brass Balls Radio, which will record this evening. So in the meantime, check out all this other fabulousness on offer:

My latest at Today.com on the California Tax Revolt. This is priceless - I am so proud of these counties for standing up to the state.

Round-Eye Kinsella wants to sue another little blogger and thereby make him famous. I ought to hire Warren as my agent, too!

While Warren “Nazi Hunter” Kinsella runs around taking pictures in the little boys’ room at the local hockey arena (Larry Craig was arrested for less than that, remember), actual violent anti-Semites attack a university Jewish organization in broad daylight, trapping its members inside for what must have felt like an eternity.

Another anti-Semitic incident took place in a Canadian university Thursday when over 100 anti-Israel activists surrounded a campus building belonging to the Jewish student club ‘Hillel’ at York University, Toronto. The activists pounded on office doors while yelling out racial slurs.

Campus security was forced to alert police to restore order and the latter demanded that the offices be shut down.

An anti-Israel march is also scheduled for Friday, and ‘Hillel’ leaders have called on Jewish students to arrive with Israeli flags in order to show support for the country.

Perhaps we should call on CUPE Ontario’s Sid Ryan to once more tell us how we shouldn’t allow Israeli profs on Ontario campuses, and then tell us how his remarks had nothing to do with Hillel being attacked. Of course, the Province of Ontario is too busy chasing down bogeymen like Mark Steyn to bother with the likes of Sid Ryan, and Canada’s Jewish groups (CJC, B’nai Brith etc) are too busy sucking the dicks of the local imams to complain.

Despite actual violence and the fact that - surprise! - I was right all along about anti-Semitism in this country, I am going to sit this one out. Ontario’s Jews need to stand up for themselves for once, instead of ever relying on this shiksa to wave their flag for them while they have brunch or go shopping. Put down the fucking brisket and support your own community. I’ll be at Starbucks if you need me.

Kathy Shaidle appeared on TVO’s Agenda with Steve Paikin last night, and shockingly, the world did not end. The sun still rose this morning over Toronto, and with the exception of what is most likely a terrible hangover, Warren Kinsella is still alive. Who woulda thunk it?

In response to yesterday’s plea of desperation from the Kinsella/Ignatieff camp, Kathy tells you all to go fuck yourselves:

If rejecting the language of appeasment during this conflict makes me a “racist, white supremacist whatever-the-word-is-this-week”, I will wear those appellations and others with pride.

“Racist” is the new “commie.”

I will continue to express my views, not only about belligerent, disloyal Muslims, but about everything that constitutes a threat to national security, be it the welfare state, radical ecology, the division of society into various arbitrary “victim” “communities, or official multiculturalism, “tolerance” and “diversity”.

(I also support the right to any other person, left or right, to post annoying, rude, ill-informed, provocative writing on their blog. That they don’t often extend me the same courtesy is unfortunate but I’m powerless to do much about that.)

This stance has, and will, cost me dearly. However, to do anything less would violate my conscience.

Oy.

A deaf teenager has won a landmark discrimination case after she was humiliated on sports day because she could not hear announcements telling her to stop running, it has emerged.

Laura Trudgill, 13, is profoundly deaf but was not provided with an individual signer on sports day to help her understand the complicated rules of 24 team activities.

She stood when the rest of the school sat, ran when others stopped and did activities incorrectly because she could not hear the teacher telling her she was wrong.

The event was designed to forge bonds between deaf and hearing pupils but led to deep embarrassment for Laura who became an object of fun.

So the school, which went out of its way to hold an even bringing deaf and hearing students together, has been found at fault here for “humiliating” this girl.

A special education needs and disability tribunal (Sendist) found Colman Middle School, in Norwich, had unlawfully discriminated against Laura.

Laura’s mother Karen Park, 35, and dad Gary Trudgill, 50, of Norwich, fought the case with the backing of the National Deaf Children’s Society (NCDS).

Karen, a part-time volunteer for East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices, said: ‘Laura might as well have been lumped in with a load of Russians on sports day.

‘The effect would’ve been the same - she wouldn’t have had any idea what was going on.

No word from the Russians as to whether they will sue for discrimination at that remark.

So lemme get this straight: The school holds an inclusiveness exercise, and then is found guilty of “unlawful discrimination” - a crime, if you will. All because some deaf chick had a bad day. Puh-lease, if I sued everyone involved every time I had a bad day, I’d be Warren freakin’ Kinsella!

Used to be a time when other countries made fun of the USA for its litigiousness. Those days are soooo gone. The United States now seems to be the only country where you can’t sue for hurt feelings.

It’s best to use your religion as a defense.

Michael Jackson officially converts to Islam.

Now he can have all the boys he wants. It’s not “teh ghey” if your books of religious dogma say you can use boys for pleasure and women for procreation. He has done both. He was a Muslim all along, wasn’t he?

Transsexual freakazoid Thomas Beatie has given birth.

Despite the name and the media’s obsequious use of masculine pronouns, Beatie is like every other mother in the history of mammals in that she is a female. Nonetheless, Roto-Reuters reports that she “became a man 10 years ago.” From the MSM’s point of view, the birth must constitute a miracle — possibly even moonbattery’s depraved answer to the Virgin Birth.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. Ten years ago, someone would have said “Tsk, think of the life that child will have.” But now, that child is living the new normal.

I think I’d rather be speaking German.

But we’ll keep an eye on it. If anyone starts looting, we’ll let you know.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Federal Emergency Management Agency chief David Paulison visited Big Sur on Wednesday for a briefing on the status of the fire, one of many large blazes across California.

Schwarzenegger said more than 19,000 firefighters and other personnel have contained 85 percent of the hundreds of fires sparked two weeks ago, mostly by a wave of lightning strikes.

Ray Nagin could not be reached for comment.
