Ms. Hillary seems to me to have had the upper hand with Barack Obama in the debate on CNN this evening. Obama was more than a sideshow, but Ms. Hillary dominated the proceedings. Obama’s repeated invocation of his work as a community organizer is thin gruel for the messianic campaign he is waging.
The rest at……..Power Line

By way of Glenn Reynolds, a member of that elite group of lawyers whose guts I do not hate, we learn that Sol may be entering an extended minimum, which means a mini-Ice Age could be coming.
I almost hope it’s for real, except for the fact that I hate cold weather.

Well, scratch another fucking idiot off my Christmas card list. Decisions, decisions..Should Al-Libi go first, or all of my Ex in-laws?
A knowledgeable Western official said that “it appears at this point that Al-Libi has met his demise,” but declined to talk about the circumstances. “It was a major success in taking one of the top terrorists in the world off the street,” the official said. He added that the death occurred “within the last few days.”
Al-Libi was a key link between the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

If the Islamist terrorists ever successfully detonate a nuclear bomb in the US, I hope Berkeley is at the epicenter.
I can’t think of any other US city I’d rather sacrifice.
The “Short Bus” you mean.

I was reading an article in an internal insurance publication today regarding an accident involving a car and a motorcycle.
The differences in the claim forms were amazing; a lot of omissions on both sides. What astounded me however was the letter that was sent by the motorcyle rider to the insurance company.
As I can’t bring the document out of the office I can only summarise what it said for you, and here it is.
“People who drive cars need to take more notice of us motorcycle riders. We dont have a cage around us to protect us in an accident. We (motorcyclists) dont cause accidents but we always end up more injured than the drivers of the cars that hit us.”
I’m sorry, but it’s their decision to ride a motorcycle. I made a decision to drive a car because I feel it’s safer.
Anyway the long and the short of it is that after a long investigation it was discovered that the guy on the bike was doing nearly 145kph when the driver of the car put his indicator on to change lanes, checked his mirrors and moved over.
For crying out loud, you have a choice to ride a bike or drive a car (or both) but at the end of the day we all have to obey the road rules, not just car drivers. We share the roads. Be aware and do the right thing and stop blaming everyone else.
END RANT

The Study that claims one million Iraqis have died in Iraq since the 2003 liberation is clearly false.
Let me show you why.
365 days per year x 5 years = 1825 days.
1,ooo,ooo alleged deaths / 1825 days = 547.9452 people dead per day.
547.9452 people alleged dead per day x 31 days this year = 16986.3 people dead this year.
So where are all the bodies and all the reports of deaths?
Surely 16,986.3 people can’t die without being reported, by the media who are desperate for solid figures with which to paint the war in the worst possible light?

This is sick, yet somewhat funny. You have been warned.

WordPress is really clunky and uncoordinated.

Back in ‘83 when I was a roadie/assistant tour manager/driver/gofer/object of abuse for Johnny Thunders on a tour of Europe, we spent the summer -”midsommarkransen” - in Stockholm, Sweden. I needed a place to stay until I found a sublet, and the company that was promoting Johnny introduced me to a Norwegian keyboard player named Magnus (Or Magne) who had a flat… and a girlfriend he could stay with.
I liked the kid, he was energetic, enthusiastic, and outgoing, and he basically packed a bag, lit out for his girlfriend’s place, and gave me his flat. Kind of amazing. Anyway, he told me he was with a Norwegian group called A-Ha, and I didn’t think anything more of it… until 1985, when I saw this.
After all these years, I still think it’s in the top three best all time music videos along with Sledge Hammer by Peter Gabriel…
…and something I must be forgetting. Anyone else know of a music video that can compare with these two?

G’day to our ABC visitors, who cruised on by this afternoon.
Interestingly enough, they were looking at this post.

Anna Loginova, Russia’s most famous and glamorous female bodyguard, was murdered by a carjacker when her own personal Porsche Cayenne was stolen from her.
This is sad but predictable. Russia has a rampant crime problem, and this is a direct consequence of years under a godless, totalitarian, communist dictatorship. Call it a societal amoral hangover, if you like.
Now that capitalism has taken hold in the former Soviet Union, the have-nots - can-nots, more likely - feel no moral compunction about coveting the property of others to the point of theft and even murder. That’s why Anna’s outfit had such brisk business.
She makes some excellent points in the previous interviews quoted - especially the point about obviously beefy security guys being barred from eateries and such - but she should never have gone anywhere without male backup, in my opinion.
Sometimes a big, buff, and well-trained male motherfucker-of-a-killing-machine is the only thing that will work. Hope some Russians learned a lesson from this… but given that it’s Russia, after all, I wouldn’t bet on it.

Mutant cockroaches from outer space.
Sounds like the title of a SciFi movie.

Victimhood, that cherished gestalt of leftism, or socialism if you will, is explained very well here. It perfectly describes why so many Dhimmicrats have suddenly turned against Hillary in favor of Obama. He simply outranks her in the socialist food chain.
Read, also, the perverted logic of the multiculturalists, and weep.

The co-pilot of a Heathrow-bound plane was dragged kicking and screaming from the cockpit after suffering a mental breakdown while in control of the flight.
He began yelling and “invoking God” as the Air Canada 767 flew at 37,000 feet over the Atlantic. He was held down by other crew members and a passenger, a member of the Canadian armed forces.
The co-pilot then had restraints fastened to his wrists and ankles and was handcuffed to a seat.
The flight from Toronto made an emergency landing in Shannon and the co-pilot, who had been crying and screaming according to witnesses, was taken off the plane.
He was taken by ambulance to a psychiatric ward where he is being treated for a suspected nervous breakdown.
Gee, to bad sport. Hope you get the proper help and all works out fine for ya’.
OH, this is just one of the reasons I’m not to damn crazy (sorry bloke) about flying. Thankfully, this flight landed safely and the gentleman removed. Seeing a flyer of the plane being carted off strapped down, kinda’ makes my stomach queasy. Anyone see the movie “Airplane”? If not, read the rest…it’s similar to the movie, “Airplane”, only real.
Coming back to what I mentioned about not really being a fan of flying. Had this happened were I aboard this flight, this crazy bastard would have screamed over the plane intercom…”I’m takin” this son-of-a-bitch down, you are all going to hell”.
Specifically related to me, he would have been correct in screaming this shit. I am going straight to hell, I just want it to be on my terms, not some fucking loon’s.
