Sorry

So today I heard a news piece on the radio about the commander of US and NATO troops in Afghanistan flying in to a village to personally apologize to some perfectly innocent Afghani citizens who happened to get blown to bits while harboring taliban shitheads simply trying to hold a wedding party.  Apparently there was …

The bigotry of low expectations

Came across this on The Jawa Report.  I think that while their chosen money quote was a good one: “There is one religion in the world that kills you when you disagree with them and they say ‘look, we are a religion of peace and if you disagree we’ll fucking cut your head off.” ~Bill …

Obama Channels Bush

When I heard the President threatening to shoot down Libya’s air force (now that said air force has used up all its ammo blasting the “rebels”), I thought he sounded a lot like he was reading G.W. Bush’s speech announcing the decision to go back into Iraq.  Seems I wasn’t the only one to make …

A thought on cults

A show on NatGeo TV about cults caught my attention today. I find it somewhat amazing, but mostly disgusting that some people are so willing to give up their minds, their will, and their lives to follow a charismatic* asshole with a messiah complex.  It’s even more unbelievable in this modern day of free flowing …

Sometimes there is justice

Lynne Stewart is off to the big house for ten long years… Judge nails the bitch to the wall for demonstrating “lack of remorse.” Awesome. U.S. District Judge John Koeltl sentenced Stewart, 70, today in New York. A federal appeals court in November ruled that his first sentence didn’t reflect the seriousness of her actions. …

The invasion continues

No, this isn’t an illegal immigration post. A proposal to build a mosque steps from Ground Zero received the support of a downtown committee despite some loved ones of 9/11 victims finding it offensive. What. The. Fuck? Imagine the reaction if any non-muslim religion tried to build a house of worship ANYWHERE in Afghanistan, Iraq… …

Brrr. That was warm.

Don’t worry about your heating bill from last month. Global warming (err, climate change!) scaremongers are hard at work denying your lying eyes. World warming unhindered by cold spells: scientists “January, according to satellite (data), was the hottest January we’ve ever seen,” said Nicholls of Monash University’s School of Geography and Environmental Science in Melbourne. …

Did we forget to mention his islamic heritage (and his middle name)?

Obama isn’t a muslim. We’ve had that bit of information driven home enough that everyone believes it now. But maybe some of that early training stuck. Respect for the ruler of the city that holds the meteorite they all pray to seems to be a lesson he hasn’t forgotten. The President of the United States, …
