Oh, They Do, Do They?
Interesting quote from a doctor going in to Gaza after a log delay from the Egyptians to help the Palestinians: The foreign doctors were required to sign statements releasing Egypt from all liability, Dousis-Rassias said. A representative of Egyptian border director Badawie Abd El-Aziz said he expects more foreign doctors to cross in coming days, but he would not comment on why the foreign volunteers were barred access to Gaza until today.First off, Israel is telling Egypt how to conduct it "doctors in Gaza" policy? I am sure that is happening. And secondly, why would non-Arabs and non-Muslims be any more fair to the Israelis than the Arab and Muslim liars that are already there? Did you not see the CNN fake news story about the camera man and his brother? Who was one of the main instigators of that fraud? A Norwegian doctor named Mad! So don't tell me that non-Arabs and non-Muslims are objective and have no bias. Just look at all the Jew hatred in Europe and San Francisco by whiteys who seems to want to go out of their way to support Hamas. The same gay-hating, atheist-hating, women-hating Hamas who would probably have them killed were they to be in power anywhere near those useful idiots. Thursday, January 08, 2009

Watch Out for the "A" Gnng!
Four mouth-breathers in Montgomery County, Maryland are Charged In Shooting at Wheaton Mall. The names of these civic minded citizens. Antwaun T. Lee, 18, Andrew Davies, 19, Anthony D. Taylor, 19, and Aliah Kinard, 14. ![]() A What?
Jimmy Carter is bleating on and on about peace in the Middle East (as if every president for the last 60 years has not done something similar) and during his rant he writes the following: We were unable to confirm this in Jerusalem because of Israel's unwillingness to admit to any negotiations with Hamas, but rocket firing was soon stopped and there was an increase in supplies of food, water, medicine and fuel. Yet the increase was to an average of about 20 percent of normal levels. And this fragile truce was partially broken on Nov. 4, when Israel launched an attack in Gaza to destroy a defensive tunnel being dug by Hamas inside the wall that encloses Gaza.Now I am not the sharpest military tactician, but I have to stop here and ask what a "defensive tunnel" is. I would assume that if someone wanted to set up defenses, they would do such through walls and fences. Like the Israelis have done around Gaza (and are working on around the West Bank) to keep the terrorist murderers out of their lands. I wouldn't necessarily consider a tunnel to be a defensive strategic asset. In fact, whilst looking around the world at tunnels, one sees them under the DMZ dug by North Korea not to defend against an attack, but to launch an attack on South Korea. You also see them along the border between the US and Mexico. But these are for smuggling in drugs and illegal aliens and for taking large bundles of illicit cash out. And oddly enough you see them in Gaza between the Gaza Strip and Egypt where they are used to bring in everything from baby formula to Iranian missiles (to shoot at the Joooooos, you know.. not defensively but offensively). It also turns out that you can use them to dig under your enemies land, pop up in the middle of the night, and kidnap their soldiers. Also not a defensive measure. But then, maybe Carter knows something more about military strategy than I do. He was Commander in Chief, after all. Tuesday, January 06, 2009
So Which Is It?
I hate it when "Aid" organizations get on the horn and start proclaiming "catastrophes" and "disasters." It has been going on in North Korea for 10 years or so that every year the UN proclaims that without massive amounts of free food all the North Koreans are going to die. And yet the next year all the dead North Koreans still need massive amounts of food aid. They never really seem to die out despite the world not coughing up the goods to keep them alive. Well, the same happens in Gaza with regularity. Either they are all dying of hunger (despite it being less than a week since the war started) or the Israelis are sending in mass amounts of food and supplies: Amnesty International said people in Gaza had run out of food. Donatella Rovera, the organization's Middle East expert, told the Berliner Zeitung newspaper: "The general situation has worsened continuously over the past two years, but it's never happened before that people didn't have anything to eat." Supplies of rice, sugar and bread had virtually run out, she said.So is there food or not? Where has all the supplies gone? Into Hamas' bellies while the little people get hungry (that would be my bet). Really...
Do these people really not want to be taken seriously? I mean a giant shoe? Protests against the Israeli offensive are being staged around the world, including in Manila, in the Philippines, where demonstrators hurled a huge shoe effigy towards the Israeli Embassy. Monday, January 05, 2009
I am going to start Reading Discworld Books
I want to read the Terry Pratchett Discworld books but the first thing you have to do is get them. Turns out there are 35 books in the various Discworld related series. I now have 5. That means I have to get a lot more.
Now off to find the rest of them. Thursday, January 01, 2009
Read This and Shut Up
I get so tired of pundits and morons opining on the death and destruction of America based on (take you pick): abortion, teen pregnancy, murder, rape, work hours, early death from any number of diseases, and anything else that sticks in someone's ignorant craw. Well, it ain't true: Doom and gloomers have been predicting the downfall of American society for generations. The last 20 or so years in particular have seen incredible advances in technology that have given us a wealth of new choices, exponentially enhancing our personal and economic freedom. The worrywarts fret that our society can't handle that sort of freedom—that prosperity and unlimited choices coupled with the absence of need will spell our ruin.Click through to check out all the actual things happening in this great country and quit worrying, spaz! Holy Crap, Grandpa!

Messy desk
Of Course He Will Have Lots of Credibility
(CNN) -- Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Tuesday will name former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris to the U.S. Senate, sources familiar with the decision say.Anyone taking this job is a complete idiot that is only in it for himself. If Burris was thinking about the people of Illinois (and, as a politician, how could he) he would wait for a special election or for the legistlature to make the actual appointment. If he is the best man for the job then he will get the job. Now all he looks like is a petty grasper hoping to make it into the Senate on a technicality. And do you really think that anyone is going to take him seriously if he was to get in on Blago recommendation? "Oh, you are the guy who got the job from Blago... What did it cost you?" will be all he hears. Idiot. Yeah, I think I am Back
What? Before they are all dead?
(CNN) -- The former U.S. special envoy to the Middle East said Tuesday that President-elect Barack Obama should engage with Hamas under certain conditions, and sooner rather than later.)Yeah, he will need to get right on that before Israel makes corpses out of them. Thursday, July 17, 2008
