Israel bombs Gaza house after rocket hit: witnesses

GAZA (Reuters) - An Israeli warplane bombed and destroyed a home in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday minutes after warning its occupants to leave. Witnesses said an aircraft fired at the house about 20 minutes after the owner had been warned to leave.

Bad Jews. Mean Jews. Mean, mean, mean. Cruel, just plain cruel.Warning them, giving them a choice to live, or die. Nervy dem Yids, I'm telling you.



IDF kills 5 Palestinians in Nablus

Earlier Wednesday, IAF aircraft bombed a home in the southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah, which the IDF said was serving as the cover for a weapons-smuggling tunnel between Gaza and Egypt.

The house belonged to Sammy al-Shaer, a weapons dealer, witnesses said. The IDF said it called al-Shaer 15 minutes before the strike raid and told him to clear out of the house, which he did, witnesses said.

There were no major injuries in the initial strike, which leveled the house. However, as children gathered to look at the rubble, a second airstrike hit the house, killing a 14-year-old girl and wounded seven other children, hospital officials said.

Ummm ..... that wouldn't be Gaza (hospital) officials now would it? I'm just askin' (wink, wink).

US World War I Soldier Buried at Arlington Cemetery

U.S. soldier Francis Lupo, who died 88 years ago in a World War I battle, has been buried with military honors at Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington. Lupo, had been listed as "missing in action" following an attack on German forces near Soissons, France in 1918. In 2003, French archaeologists discovered some of Lupo's bone fragments while working on a conservation project.

Police Sweep Paris Suburb After Attack

PARIS (AP) - More than 200 police raided a neighborhood Monday in suburban Paris where a band of youths attacked riot police last week and seriously wounded one officer. Twelve people were detained in the early morning sweep in Corbeil-Essonnes south of the capital.

A band of up to 30 youths armed with makeshift weapons attacked two riot police patrolling a housing project in Corbeil-Essonnes last Tuesday. One suffered a double skull fracture.

A 13-year-old boy was shot dead while protesting, and two other people were injured as violence raged for several hours in Somalia's third biggest city, witnesses said.

"We have been taken over by extremists, the Islamic courts have taken us by force, and now they are firing at us," said protester Dahabo Dirie.

'All the King's Men' tanks at box office

With a disastrous debut weekend gross of just $3.8 million, the political thriller "All the King's Men" is the season's first movie with Oscar ambitions to open with a resounding thud. The film, a remake of the 1949 classic of the same name, had a production budget of $55 million and the studio spent many millions more on marketing the film.

Man, you got me on that one? I just can't figure it out. I know it wasn't Sean Penn's trip to New Orleans where he single handedly tried to bail out the city all by his lonesome.



Nope (or even slinging a scatter gun while doing so. As a card carrying member of the peace love and understanding brigade).




No, and it most definitely wasn't his trip to Iran either.



Or attending 'prayers' at a mosque there, where ten thousand Islamists exulted: Death to America. I sure am stumped.

Anechoic Room Celebrates Ramma Lama Ding Dong

The celebration has begun (can I get a whoa Bundy?).

Followed by a casual read of the Sunday paper [which included the usual drooling cartoonish criticisms of the President. The tenor of which, would have Sean Penn's tongue displayed in a museum, in Iran (were he currently a resident there, and speaking about His Magnificence Moo Moo Ahmadinejad) credit O'Reilly].

Likely we won't proceed to the annual adult entertainment expo, here in L.A. [hey we can visit a teety bar any dang day we please (not just the night before getting on an airliner, pegging the throttle, and flying into a skyscraper)].




And likely we'll also skip the L.A. County Fair today as well. And their lovely Porcine Parade for Prizes [well, we did go opening day. But alas, we watched the ponies. But it is nice to know we can watch swine running if we want to! (pork ... it's not just for breakfast anymore)].


Dollars to donuts we will fire up the ole hifi today, spin some platters/play some rock n roll. Sip some icey vodka, and give Thanks for some lovely fall weather [pop music and booze, can a Muslim get any happier? (can I get a whoa Mohammed?)].




We won't drop any acid today, and then watch this one minute fourteen second You Tube vid (we're not sure if Lysergic is halal? But we're pretty sure this is why they hate us).



We'll conclude our giant Ramma Lama Ding Dong festivities here at Anechoic Room, by saying f*ck you to: Nic Maduro (Venezuela official held at U.S. airport), Baby Asshat (U.S. to blame for attack on its embassy - Syria), some Irish 'academics' (Irish academics urge Israel boycott), and Newsweek (Interview with Iran) [is there anyone on the left who didn't suck Ahmadinejad's d*ck when he was in New York?]. And is it gratuitous to say f*ck the French? (Can Internet criticism of Mideast news footage be slander?).

We won't say f*ck you to Virginia Dare. Only a gleefull shout out: keep 'em coming.

Yes, while it may be true I lost a potential running mate in '08. I've also lost a dear friend.




Some of Osama's close personal friends were utterly speechless.




Did you ever see him without a shirt? I'm telling you he had some rack, big ole mantitties.




We will be dedicating great statues. We will be naming grand thoroughfares. We will be constructing giant monuments.




By the way .... have you read his book? I recommend everyone read it, it's called Decorating for the Modern Cave Dweller.

The World has Gone Well and Truly Mad

August 2, 2006
Iranian News Channel (IRINN), MEMRI translation (subtitles).

[One minute twelve second video. The comments on the host site are not to be missed either. The level of thought and discourse not alarming, simply unbelievable [untold millions of Muslims, with but a single 'thought' (kill the Jew!)].


It seems that the NYT's weren't the only ones yesterday to take a pull on the Persian Persimmon's pole. NBC's Brian Williams (under the guise of presenting all points of view), CNN, and CFR. All moistened their lips and ponied up for a swig from Mahmoud's pecker. The World has Gone Well and Truly Mad.

Ahmadinejad Talks to U.S. Think Tank

Iran's President Ahmadinejad broke away from events at the U.N. General Assembly to hold an informal question-and-answer session with ..... The Council on Foreign Relations ..... for about 90 minutes in the conference room of a New York City hotel late Wednesday.


.... Ahmadinejad spoke 'with a tone that oozed polite hostility.' He entered with 'a jaunty smile, a wave and an air of supreme confidence' ...



Some excellent analysis (and baqckground), from Confederate Yankee.
(highly recommended)

But I will disagree with his conclusion. I don't believe it is fear that prevents MSM from reporting how deranged Ahmadinejad is. I believe they just don't have the properly outfitted toolkit/s to do their jobs. On the air and unaware. Fear implies awareness. They really aren't smart enough to understand. The world, Ahmadinejad, or even their own responsibility to do the jobs for which they are paid.


However Granddaddy Long Legs reports that some do indeed have the grey matter. And are actively promoting their own politics (proudly so).

Greg Mitchell, (editor of) Editor & Publisher:

The media dropped its guard in the run-up to the attack on Iraq. Will they redeem themselves if pressure builds for an air strike or war against Iran? There are some indications that some lessons may have been learned...... Newspapers may be in the role of bullpen stopper right now, with the current Iran "semi-crisis." In baseball lingo, they should try to "put out the fire" there, after losing one for the home team in Iraq three years ago...... To those who would say that this inflates the power or even role of the press in America today, I would reply: You don't expect the Democrats to keep us out of war, do you?

The first info war of the modern info age, is joined. The fifth column is now assembled, and awaits marching orders.

Leaders Spar Over Iran’s Aims and U.S. Power

[I do rather like this (immediately) above liberaloon banner headlining this news (scare quotes optional) article]

By JIM RUTENBERG and HELENE COOPER
Published: September 20, 2006

UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 19 — President Bush and President Ahmadinejad, separated by several hours and oceans of perspective, clashed at the United Nations on Tuesday over Iran’s nuclear ambitions and each other’s place in the world.

"separated by several hours and oceans of perspective"

(Ooooh, how poetic). Mahmoud wants the bomb, is building one. Iran has been running a clandestine program for at least a decade now (likely two decades). The West is going to stop him (those with the clarity and brass anyway). And the NYT's calls this separated by perspective?

[And truth be told, they are spearated by a couple of lightyears, and a few dimensions as well (put that in your crack pipe and smoke it, before going back out on the stroll, NYT's)].

"Bush and Ahmadinejad, clashed over each other’s place in the world."

Is that like not belonging to the same clique? Buying their clothes at different shopping promenades? Each other's place in the world? The NYT's not only polishes Mahmoud's juevos, but they always manage to diddle their ownselves, at the same time. Ahmadinejad IS a madman. I guess those bone swallowers at the ole gray streetwalking lady, would rather he be one with a nuclear arsenal? The final/end stages of BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome).

And well "clashed at the United Nations on Tuesday" is a COMPLETE FABRICATION. They were never in the same room (and I'd bet dollars to donuts never in the building at the same time). Jouranlistic license you say? Oh that's right, the one those fookin clowns at the Times got out of a Cracker Jack box (unless of course Rutenberg and Cooper WERE talking about fashion?). [Well, we can award some optional 'effort' points to the Times, for trying to elevate Mahmoud to the same stature. As that of the President of the United States (or even to that of a statesman). Nice try/you go gurrl!]

The two leaders bookended a long day of speeches at the opening of the General Assembly, but seemed to speak past each other

"but seemed to speak past each other" Again .... no matter how hard the NYT's tries, whatever verbal/literary descriptors they use. They were never in the same room at the same time (I don't know, maybe there WERE carboard cutouts of the other, in the assembly hall, during each's speech?).

and American diplomats continued the delicate work of setting terms for talks with Iran over its uranium enrichment program.

diplomats ..... delicate work? What f*cking planet are you freaks living on? Diplomacy is loooong over. Hey, if you and Mahmoud want to get a room (when in Rome), .... it is still a free country [despite your 24/7 protestations to the contrary].

"setting terms for talks with Iran over its uranium enrichment program." For the last f*cking time ..... it is a WEAPONS PROGRAM you encephalitic squirrels. Iran can have all the nuclear energy they want. France, Britain, Germany, and the U.S. have made this clear time and time again. Repeating the offer until they are blue in the face. The only condition? Iran has to give up the bomb (let me know NYT's if you want me to draw a map/scribble a diagram/paint you a picture?).

Speaking near the prime time of television viewing, Mr. Ahmadinejad, tieless in his trademark off-white sport jacket


O.K. .... now we are talking fashion (woohoo!)[Love is in the air ... Everywhere I look around ... Love is in the air ... Every sight and every sound ... Oh oh oh)

Ahmadinejad is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American soldiers. And however many Israelis (both soldier and citizen). HE IS A TERRORIST (define it any f*cking way you want *sswipes). He is building a nuclear bomb. END OF STORY. And unless he has some sort of awakening (of yes .... biblical proportions), and stops. World War III will begin in earnest.




Well I do feel better now (Thank You Very Much). How bout you? I have no stomach for reading the article any further (as far I got). The steam cloud rising off the top of my head is beginning to thin (a bit). Maybe I'll fire up the hifi and spin some platters?


P.S.

Kofi, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out ... kay?


11:20 a.m.

Hugh Hewitt is a little more polite and cerebral.

The Appeasement Press

When the fanatical president of a strong and ambitious for nuclear weapons country appears at the United Nations, that's news. When that president has repeatedly threatened Israel with destruction, denied the Holocaust's existence, and sent long rambling letters to the leaders of the U.S., France, and Germany, people will want to know what he says and what it means.

When he delievers a radical address that --in soft tones, yes, but urgent ones-- declares the U.N. to be illegitimate, the war against Israel by Hezbollah to be a creation of the U.S., goes out of his way to alert Christians that Jesus was just a prophet, and then closes with an apocalypse-welcoming appeal to God, that's not just news, it is very crucial news, news that underscores many important facts for the West and the U.S., chief among them that "diplomacy" leading to a "better deal" isn't on this radical's mind. He wants his nukes. He wants the apocalypse.

And the appeasement press does not convey this; doesn't even bother to report the closing appeal to the Almighty.

Because I played the speech live on my radio show, and saw and heard the reaction in the e-mails and the calls, I and my audience know what he was saying, and I know that it was big news of intense interest to Americans with any eye on the world.

The Pope must die, says Muslim

A Muslim told a demonstration in London yesterday that the Pope should face execution. Anjem Choudary said those who insulted Islam would be "subject to capital punishment". His remarks came during a protest outside Westminster Cathedral.

Choudary's appeal for the death of Pope Benedict was the second time he has been linked with apparent incitement to murder within a year. The 39-year-old lawyer organised demonstrations against the publication of cartoons of Mohammed in February in Denmark. Protesters carried placards declaring "Behead Those Who Insult Islam".

Yesterday he said: "The Muslims take their religion very seriously and non-Muslims must appreciate that and that must also understand that there may be serious consequences if you insult Islam and the prophet.



"Whoever insults the message of Mohammed is going to be subject to capital punishment." "I think that warning needs to be understood by all people who want to insult Islam and want to insult the prophet of Islam."

Red-hot torture
By Bill O'Reilly

Thanks to the New York Times, we now know the dreaded torture methods the sadistic CIA used on captured Al Qaeda big shots .....

According to a front-page article in the Times on Sept. 10, .... (the) CIA .... interrogators stripped Zubaydah, put him in a freezing room and subjected him to Red Hot Chili Peppers. Not the vegetables, the rock group.

Apparently, the CIA sadists cranked up the volume on some Red Hot Chili Pepper recordings and Zubaydah broke. Wouldn't you?

No question I would have broke. Especially if the interrogators had gone forward in time, and brought back the Pepp's latest release. But then if I was conducting the interrogation, I would have used a Meredith Monk record.

Muslim anger grows at Pope speech

"It is clear that the Holy Father's intention is to cultivate a position of respect and dialogue towards other religions and cultures, and that clearly includes Islam," said chief Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi in a statement.

Respect and dialogue? Freddy, you must be thinking of that other Islam. The moderate one that glows warmly in the hearts of Dhimmis everywhere.

The head of the Muslim Brotherhood said the Pope's remarks "aroused the anger of the whole Islamic world".

Leave it to the Beeb to quote a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Way to go Auntie! Which came first ..... Muslim anger, or the Beeb's promotion of it?

Pope: "The intention here is not one of retrenchment or negative criticism, but of broadening our concept of reason and its application." "Only thus do we become capable of that genuine dialogue of cultures and religions so urgently needed today."

And good luck to you with that there, Your Popeness.


Pope's speech stirs Muslim anger

In Indian-administered Kashmir, police seized copies of newspapers which reported the Pope's comments to prevent any tension.

No comment required.

(Turkish) Religious leader Ali Bardakoglu said .... Whilst Muslims might express their criticism of .... Christianity, .... they would never defame the Holy Bible or Jesus Christ.

Kill 'em maybe. But not defame them, no Sir. We wouldn't want to do anything like that.


Muslim anger over papal comments grows

Across the Islamic world Friday, Benedict's remarks on Islam and jihad in a speech in Germany unleashed a torrent of rage that many fear could burst into violent protests like those that followed publication of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.



Nope, no defaming here.



Or here ... "down down secular democracy" (Catholocism as secular democracy?).



Now we might fire bomb a church.

Bring'eeet on (no more Patty Cake). Lezz gitt dis party started.

Hussein Shabakshy (writing in) al-Sharq al-Awsat “It is clear that such remarks only contribute to the fueling of the fire raging between Islam and the West. There is no difference between Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri speaking from their caves in Tora Bora and the stage of an important Christian saint. Both parties contribute to the world verbal weapons for mass destruction.”

Princeton researchers show how to steal an election with Diebold machines

More nihilism from nobodies. Nobodies with nothing to do. Nothing except show their contempt for democracy. Their hatred for Bush. I giss if a Repub wins any election between now and the end of time, he stole it .... with a rigged machine.

Fruitcakes.

Princeton security researchers Ariel J. Feldman, J. Alex Halderman, and Edward W. Felten have taken apart one of Diebold's notorious voting machines and done a thorough security analysis of its workings. They showed that they could easily install software on the machine that would allow an attacker to steal votes from one candidate and give them to another -- they showed that this would be undetectable, and easily done. They've published a paper and an amazing, disturbing video showing how this could be done.

"Tourists from other countries should be encouraged to visit Muslim countries so that they will get to know Islamic countries better," Malaysian Tourism Minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor was quoted as saying late Wednesday during a visit to Moscow.

The member states are now considering a proposal by Malaysia to make 2010 "Travel the World of Islam Year."


Ummmm ... good luck with that. I don't know, maybe a Muzzy amusement park? Say like Disneyland, but different. Instead of the Main St. Electrical Parade, they could have hangings in front of Cinderella's Castle, for unchaste behavior. Instead of the magic shop there in the castle, a clinic for clitorectomies. With a sign/pass under barrier, posted at entrance. "You must be under five feet tall to enter."



Hizbollah guilty of war crimes, Amnesty says

LONDON (Reuters) - Lebanese guerrilla group Hizbollah committed war crimes in its conflict with
Israel by targeting civilians with rockets packed with metal ball bearings, rights group Amnesty International said on Thursday.

It said around a quarter of the nearly 4,000 rockets that Hizbollah launched into Israel during the 34-day war were fired directly into urban areas.

"The scale of Hizbollah's attacks on Israeli cities, towns and villages, the indiscriminate nature of the weapons used and statements from the leadership confirming their intent to target civilians make it all too clear that Hizbollah violated the laws of war," Amnesty's Secretary-General Irene Khan said.

Does anyone give a flying foog at a doughnut what Amnesty says?

"The fact that Israel has also committed serious violations in no way justifies violations by Hizbollah," she said in a statement.

Glad we cleared that up, Irene. Run along now and play with all the other moral equivalenciers.



I'm Rich

Alcohol use helps boost income: study

WASHINGTON (AFP) - People who consume alcohol earn significantly more at their jobs than non-drinkers, according to a US study that highlighted "social capital" gained from drinking.

The study published in the Journal of Labor Research Thursday concluded that drinkers earn 10 to 14 percent more than teetotalers, and that men who drink socially bring home an additional seven percent in pay.

"Social drinking builds social capital," said Edward Stringham, an economics professor at San Jose State University and co-author of the study with fellow researcher Bethany Peters.

Might go some ways in explaining why some Muslim societies/countries are more an a few centuries behind the rest of civilization. Social bankruptcy.

Doing a little scratching around, we see that the post itself , can be seen embedded in a past link. (Scroll down one third to: Thursday, February 23, 2006 .... National Burn the Koran Day, July 4, 2006). But all inbound hyperlinks to the post itself, are dead. Even clicking on the 8:37 a.m. timestamp, in the body of the post, same. Those Google folk would fit right in with the Taliban.
