ReplyDeleteMorning Phil.
ReplyDeleteEveryone must have hangovers.
Has this thread really been up since 8 ?
If someone had bothered to wake me up I may have been up here with youse guys. :-/
ReplyDeleteYes, Thanks Pi Guy for the efforts !
ReplyDeleteDamn, it's been 4 years since the Danish cartoons....
ReplyDeleteWhere
Did
It
Go.
Well, I know one of those Danish cartoons went onto a t-shirt that I own.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning everyone. The day that James Dean died. My history lesson for the day. Thanks Pi Guy.
ReplyDeleteMorning,LoL !
ReplyDeleteHow are you this fine day ?
Sleepy, squatch. How's by you?
ReplyDeleteIn fact, today is International Blasphemy Day. I should wear that shirt.
ReplyDeleterobomonkey, my husband has the "Mohammed-bomb" tshirt. He used to wear it while infiltrating leftist protests in town.
ReplyDeleteMorning Squatch, yeah. Pi Guy is trying out the new time change. It was going up right in the middle of the pub crawl and distracting people. and then a couple of hours later fruitcup was served and then nothing for 6 hours after that. I think this will work much better.
ReplyDelete'Morning, Erik! :-)
ReplyDeleterobomonkey! :-)
Wendy! :-)
More history today:
ReplyDelete1938 - Britain, France, Germany and Italy sign the Munich Agreement, allowing Germany to occupy the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. Also, on the very same day, the League of Nations unanimously outlaws "intentional bombings of civilian populations".
Yeah, how well did those work our for you?
Morning, Little Old Lady! By G-d, have I missed the morning fruit cup!
ReplyDeleteWendy, that's the shirt I have. My wife really disapproves of me wearing it in public, just because she worries about me getting home in one piece if I do. I still wear it underneath something else from time to time, when I'm going to be around moonbats.
Morning threads tend to be best for me, which was why I was dismayed to find out earlier that this site locked comments overnight, until the mods got up (which, since I'm EST, is pretty late here).
ReplyDeleteMorning Erik, robomonkey, wendy. Keep getting distracted here. Should be forming thoughts and putting them into pixels. Nothing yet, so here I sit, working, surfing, drinking coffee.

Good morning folks.
ReplyDeleteHey Phil,
Did you notice the irony in the headlines in the Canadian press for the last two days? Two weeks ago the CBC, the TorStar & the Globe were all talking about how their latest champion, the wise and wonderful Iggy, was going to bring down the Conservative gov't and smite the evil Harper. Well, as it turns out, not so much.
This week it seems Harper is gaining in the polls, the Liberals are in free-fall, Iggy's Quebec wing is stomping off, and the wise & wonderful Iggy is looking like a pompous self-centered fool. Ah, what a difference a week makes!
Hey there Kenneth, no I missed that. It doesn't surprise me though. I think that we as a country are sick and tired of the Liberal party trying to force yet another election or change in government. It's only been a little over a year since our last election. Besides the Conservatives are doing a good job.
ReplyDeleteSo you're saying that Iggy popped?
ReplyDeleteI'm still kind of gleeful about the German election results, although I would have appreciated a higher turnout for their Pirate Party.
Vitamins N and C in one cup
ReplyDeleteKinda cuts out the middleman/woman, don't it? ;-)
Check your email, squatch.
Kenneth! :-)
ReplyDeleteSaudi Arabia denies it offered Israeli jets flight path to Iran
ReplyDeleteThe Sunday Express reported this week that the Saudis had agreed to turn a blind eye and not interfere should Israel and the United States attack Iranian nuclear facilities via Saudi air space.
Yeah, because they would be absolutely crushed if Irans' nuke shops were demolished.
/need I ?
Good Morning all...what is the hot topic today?
ReplyDelete'Morning, Desert Dog! :-)
ReplyDeleteSo far...COFFEE!
Check your email, squatch.

Phil,
ReplyDeleteOn Sunday, Denis Coderre resigned as the Liberal's Quebec "lieutenant" blaming Iggy for poor leadership.
http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/posted/archive/2009/09/28/liberal-mp-denis-coderre-resigns-as-quebec-lieutenant.aspx
Yesterday, Iggy was in Quebec trying to mend fences, but he has all the charm of an undertaker. Harper would love to have an election now, as he's almost certain to get a majority.
Of course, if Iggy is dumped as leader, the next most likely choice to lead the Liberals would be Bob Rae. Wouldn't that be special!
BTW for our American friends. This constitutes a typical editorial from The Toronto (red) Star.
ReplyDelete{[{squatch}]} TYVM! :-)
ReplyDeleteGood morning LittleOldLady! Thanks for the wonderful fruit cup. Got any more coffee?
ReplyDeleteKenneth: I would LOVE Bob Rae to be the next Liberal leader in an election. All they would have to do is bring up his leadership of the NDP and his time in power as the Premier of Ontario. I can see some of the ads now. "Well in power he instituted 'Rae Days' for a majority of public workers.....".
ReplyDeleteFirst France saying Obama is living in a fanasty world, now Ruben Navarette calling him out as well? I see that in Obama's world, France has a better grasp of the world and a normally reliable lap dog columnist has no trouble seeing the forest through all the trees....
ReplyDeleteThe Ambivalent One
But when it comes to foreign policy, Obama is uncomfortable with leading other nations, as U.S. presidents are expected to do. He thinks there is nothing special about America's role in the world. As he told the U.N. General Assembly, "no world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will succeed." Solving the world's problems, Obama said, "cannot solely be America's endeavor...."
This is the reality that French President Nicolas Sarkozy wants Obama to understand. Sarkozy seems flabbergasted that Obama appears to be living in an alternate universe when it comes to foreign affairs. He notes that the U.S. president talks about how the nations of the world "must never stop at all until we see the day when nuclear arms have been banished from the face of the earth." Yet, Sarkozy suggests, that day seems to be getting farther and farther away.
{[{squatch}]} TYVM! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnytime,LoL.

ReplyDelete"Justice prevails in security cases"
In which the editor argues that it's a good thing that several Al Qaeda suspects were released from security restrictions. We can't try them in Canada, we can't deport them because, horrors, they might be tortured back home in Egypt or Algeria, and now we can't even keep them under house arrest. The editors of the Toronto Star think this is a good thing.

Political correctness is a slow form of suicide. Treating these scumbags this way is unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteSee y'all later! Work beckons!
ReplyDeleteRichard Fernandez has a great essay up today at Belmont Club on the reasons for Obama's hesitance and apparent ambivalence over Afghanistan.
ReplyDeletehttp://pajamasmedia.com/richardfernandez/2009/09/30/real_thing/#more-6162
General McChrystal wants more troops, and he wants a green light to go after the Taliban headquarters in Quetta. The Pakistanis are nervous of both ideas. They would like a tamed and controlled Taliban, not a defeated one. Obama is talking about hunting down Al Qaeda, but he fails to mention the "Tollybahn" any more. Obama's foreign policy is based on the leftist instinct that US military victory is always a bad thing. He prefers the delusion of the negotiated settlement in which everybody joins hands and works out their problems.
It's not really suicide, as such, because it's not the idiot liberals pushing these policies who suffer from them. Liberals in mansions feel all sorts of faux-compassion for the people living in the permanent underclass, dealing daily with crime, drugs, poverty, hunger, and so forth... But they never (well, rarely) realize that they're the ones responsible for the situation.
ReplyDeleteSometimes they're honest, at least with themselves, about what the consequences of their actions will be... And that's when they go out of their way to make sure that they and they alone will be immunized against the horrors they're about to inflict on others. Congress refusing to allow themselves to be covered in whatever health care plan they pass is a good, recent example; but it's only one of countless cases where Congress has built personal immunity to themselves in the laws they pass.
robomonkey,
ReplyDeleteIt's worse than that. The leftist Canadian media are convinced these people are completely innocent of all charges. We are talking about people who admitted to traveling to Bosnia, Pakistan, Chechnya, & Sudan for "humanitarian charity work". Yet they refuse to name the charity or explain who paid for their airfare. These people were identified by senior Al Qaeda terrorists as having attended AQ training camps in Afghanistan, under interrogation at Gitmo, which of course, to the leftist mind, could only mean they were framed by Dick Cheney.
Don’t rush Afghan decision, Kerry cautions president
ReplyDeleteMassachusetts Senator John F. Kerry is using his influence as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to urge the president to take weeks, or even months, to conduct a sweeping review of the overall mission in Afghanistan and generate a national debate on the war before committing more troops.
“I am arguing that the president has the time and we have the time,’’ Kerry said yesterday in an interview, adding that he himself is wrestling with the question of whether more troops are needed.
/you know, because Lurch hasn't pissed off the Afghanistan veterans yet
Wow! Now here's a good-news human interest story guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
ReplyDelete"US Congress quietly approves fast tracking Super Bunker Buster Bomb"
"Congress has quietly approved to fast track the deployment of the BGU-57A/B or Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP). The Pentagon plans to rush the deployment of 10 BGU-57A/B "bunker buster" bombs by June 2010. The MOP is so enormous that it can only be delivered by a B-52 or a B-2A. In fact, the B-2 bombers will need to be refitted in order to carry two MOPs.
The MOP weighs in at a whopping 30,000 pounds, it's warhead weighs in at 5,300 pounds and it can penetrate 200 ft (61 m) of 5,000 psi (34 MPa) reinforced concrete, 26 ft (8 m) of 10,000 psi (69 MPa) reinforced concrete, or 130 ft (40 m) of moderately hard rock."
http://reportonarrakis.blogspot.com/2009/09/us-congress-quietly-approves-fast.html
Good news, so long as your name isn't Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, that is.
Kenneth said...
ReplyDeleteNow, that made me smile.
"Guided by a precision GPS system, the MOP can penetrate an unprecedented 200 feet down before exploding with devastation into an underground bunker, such as those buried in Iran and North Korea currently used to shield rogue nuclear programs. Now Congress has quietly advanced $68 million into the 2009 budget to accelerate the purchase and deployment of ten such super bunker busters making clear they are for possible use against the regimes in Iran or North Korea. Pentagon planners are rushing to beat by months the latest June 2010 deadline for just four such bombs, and have been subsequently directed to increase the number of MOPs to at least ten."
ReplyDeleteMore bombs, and they want then sooner than June 2010... hmmm.... that's has got to concentrate the minds of the thugs in Tehran.
wow, the Hoover dam generates 2.8 mil HP. That's a lot of hamsters for sure. Morning C2's

What's the quid pro quo?
The president said in a Sept. 14 interview that he was too occupied by the health-care debate to make a final pitch for Chicago and that his wife was the best choice to represent the U.S.
There’s no way The One would risk his political capital on a personal appeal in Denmark unless he’d been assured that Chicago will get the games if he makes a cameo. It’s a done deal; the only question is who approached whom.

ReplyDeleteJAKARTA, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Indonesian police opened fire on three cars after an altercation involving men with weapons at Jakarta's international airport on Wednesday, an airport official told Reuters. "The information I received was that there were three cars, suddenly the passengers got out and attacked the counter for (airline) Sriwijaya Air and then left," Tahoma Sirait, head of operations at Soekarno-Hatta international airport, told Reuters.
I'm sure we could find other living facilities for homeless sex offenders -- jail cells. If they've been violating their living restrictions and assaulting the other people in the shelters, why the hell are they still on the streets?!

I listen to WLS online and the people of Chicago are not behind this. They see it as business as usual and the taxpayers footing the bill.
So if the jailhouse bullies sodomize Polanski, will it be "rape rape" or will it just be a transgressive erotic encounter of an artistic nature?

She had been studying pharmacology in the gymnasium and her husband was studying law when the Nuremburg law was enacted. Their families sold everything they could to get them the money to get out of the country. They made it to Britain and eventually to the US. They were the only ones of either of their families to survive. She told me "Everybody knew but they didn't want to know so they didn't".
She kept asking me when was I going to have babies (we kept in toch after I graduated).
She had 4. All boys.
