Blogger is a mess. I'm equally unhappy and having similar and worse problems. My apologies -- I will start looking elsewhere soon...

Today's Best (Obvious) Comment

"There are nuts who would argue against gravity, but I wouldn't put them on TV."

It's actually quite a commentary on our times that today's best comment is another resounding "restatement of the obvious". (Look up at the masthead.)

For the rest of you who actually understand the horror of Auschwitz, a little fact to remind you of what real hell consists of: if 10 Jews represented the Jewish population of Poland before the war, there would only be 1 alive at the end. Three MILLION dead out of approximately 3.3 million!

Did I mention that Holocaust deniers are the scum of the earth?

"What's all this about "looting"?" (via Charles)

"Also, while a sane world would not employ 5-foot-tall grandmothers as law enforcement officers, a sane world would also not give full body-cavity searches to 5-foot-tall grandmothers at airports."

Anti-Fascifists Pictured

Seen here (via Glenn):

He looked round the canteen again. Nearly everyone was ugly, and would still have been ugly even if dressed otherwise than in the uniform blue overalls. On the far side of the room, sitting at a table alone, a small, curiously beetle-like man was drinking a cup of coffee, his little eyes darting suspicious glances from side to side. How easy it was, thought Winston, if you did not look about you, to believe that the physical type set up by the Party as an ideal — tall muscular youths and deep-bosomed maidens, blond-haired, vital, sunburnt, carefree — existed and even predominated. Actually, so far as he could judge, the majority of people in Airstrip One were small, dark, and ill-favoured. It was curious how that beetle-like type proliferated in the Ministries: little dumpy men, growing stout very early in life, with short legs, swift scuttling movements, and fat inscrutable faces with very small eyes. It was the type that seemed to flourish best under the dominion of the Party.

The man who understood fascifism would understand today's events effortlessly. And he would spit with glee on the fascifists...

"Is it because many of these Leftist organizations are remnants of totalitarian European socialism?"

"Universities not in the business of asking these these questions are arguably not institutions of higher learning at all."

So Let Me See...

The Comma,ists think that this:



and this:



is a perfectly rational alternative to this:



What the h*ll are they thinking???!!!

There are only two rational explanations for this: they're either completely brain dead or simply on the other side.

In conclusion, here's a reminder of what side I'm on:



UPDATE: And even Slate is on to the fact that they're out to topple an EVIL MORON. But they forget that it's a "package deal" with the complete lunatics responsible for the first picture in this post! Did I forget to mention that this is what the ex-president of the oh-so-rational "Republic" of Iran said in public:

"If a day comes when the world of Islam is duly equipped with the arms Israel has in possession, the strategy of colonialism would face a stalemate because application of an atomic bomb would not leave any thing in Israel but the same thing would just produce damages in the Muslim world", Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani told the crowd at the traditional Friday prayers in Tehran.

"It seems that Mr. Hashemi-Rafsanjani is forgetting that due to the present intertwinement of Israel and Palestine, the destruction of the Jewish State would also means the mass killing of Palestinian population as well", observed one Iranian commentator.

Just what part of Cuckoo don't the Comma,ists understand? I submit that to defend this modern reincarnation of Hitler you must be of the same mind yourself. Hence the Goebbels cribbed strategy of projecting what you are on to your enemies.

And THANK GOD Bush IS their enemy. Include me in.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Totten gets it and raises me a bunch...

Brother Fidel medicates his people. Or is that electrocutes them? Just how stupid do you have to be to believe the utter garbage that Fidel dishes out???

Welcome to the Wa-Po Daily. It was bound to happen...

All You Need To Know About North Korea

It is a black hole as seen from space at night:



Even China (look left, Japan is to the right) looks like a comparative paradise.

Of course our Dhimmi-environmental-wackos will argue that it's just proof of how environmentally aware they are.

That's true -- if you believe it's environmentally aware to make the populace eat maggots...

Today's Cuckoo Watch

Well of course these people deserve nukes -- and what better proof could we have of their rationality? I'm sure that when they get in a knock-down drag-out the hijabs will come off exposing Wonder-Woman-like regalia...

And then there's these gentlemen neanderthal thugs...
