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.

…Allah.

All those videos about death to the Infidel that kept getting taken down at YouTube? They’ve found a new home at MohammedTube.

I should already be dead. At least according to this eco-freak carbon calculator. At 31.2 years of age, I should have died in order to benefit my planet.

Now, I know I’m no real friend to the environment, but I also don’t own a car. I live in a small apartment. My energy bills are low. But because I don’t recycle, I should be dead. Isn’t that a bit extreme? By this weird little quiz, not recycling is a crime punishable by death.

Enviro-freaks will tell you that they want to save our planet for our children. For their future. But in reality, they are nihilists where the human race is concerned.

H/t Tim Blair.

The folks at Babble have discovered their sense of humor. No, really. They’re funny. And more importantly, they’re laughing at themselves.

I’m kinda proud of them, actually.

More proof that Canadians have “polited” themselves into docility.

A gang of 10 teenagers violently robbed scores of subway commuters yesterday afternoon during the peak of commuter rush hour.

The youths, all aged about 15, robbed numerous people — sometimes punching victims in the face — between 4 and 6 p.m. in the stairwells and platforms at stations along the Bloor St. and Yonge St. lines.

In Toronto rush hour, there are thousands of people teeming through the subway system. You mean to tell me that no one could put down a gang of pimply-faced thugs? They just handed over their belongings to a bunch of brats without any kind of protest?

Unacceptable. Were they waiting for the government to step in and pass a resolution or something? If we can’t defend ourselves on the personal level, how can we be expected to defend the rights and interests of our entire country?

Toronto, with its growing immigrant population, will likely see an increase of deadly, contagious tuberculosis, experts say. The current system simply couldn’t handle an outbreak, but the province has yet to make the changes required to protect citizens

Something to think about the nest time you are on a crowded subway, running under Chinatown or Little Somalia.

TB is not going to disappear from Toronto as long as we are an immigration centre. We need to plan for cases to continue to arrive here and to be able to deal with them at the highest level of care.

Yup, those ethnic restaurants were totally worth it. Right?

PS: It may also be worthwhile to remember that our immigrant darlings from Islamic countries are a bit needle-shy when it comes to vaccinations. But we must respect their faith, at all costs. To do otherwise would infringe on their human rights. Think about that when you are shipping your kid off to school with their kids.

Whether it’s Polio vaccines in their countries (and sometimes here, because we don’t enforce it), or the MMR vaccine in Britain, or countless other measures (including their own doctors and nurses having sub-standard levels of hygiene because female medical practitioners do not practice safe hand-washing), or the fact that countries like Somalia would rather spend money on warfare than on sanitation (expecting our evil, Infidel Christian charities to foot the bill for that), we are going to continue to have a problem with 19th century diseases resurfacing from 7th century countries.

You know: Go the extra mile, work the extra hours, finish that impossible project, and reap the rewards.

But you shouldn’t be given incentives to do the most basic functions of your job. For that, you already get a paycheck. And if you perform those functions day after day, week after week, year after year, you get to keep your paycheck and not get fired. Not getting fired is a great incentive.

Doctors, nurses and other health-care workers at Canada’s largest research hospital will soon learn that cleanliness is not only next to godliness - it also brings them that much closer to a Timbit.

In an effort to persuade hospital workers to properly clean their hands, a roaming posse of infection control staff at University Health Network will give a $2 Tim Hortons gift certificate to some of those caught cleaning their hands at its Princess Margaret, Toronto General and Toronto Western hospitals.

In the real world, if you do not perform the basic functions of your job, you lose it. A “disincentive”, I believe it’s called. Maybe that’s what we need, instead.

Sigh. Oh well, it could have been worse. It could have been Ahmedinejad.

… had they run this poll in New Orleans.

An asteroid is on a collision course with the earth and you have one hour left to live. What would you do in your last 60 minutes?

Not surprisingly, the majority of Britons questioned in a survey — 54 percent — said they would like to spend it either with or on the phone to their loved ones.

But the survey revealed a strong hedonistic streak — 13 percent would sit back, accept the inevitable and reach for a glass of champagne.

Sex appealed to only nine percent while just three percent would turn to prayer.

Two percent intriguingly said they would reach for some fatty food while another two percent decided, with just an hour’s life to go, that it was time to start looting.
