There's a full scale prison riot "developing" in Indiana. Here's the video:
Makes me damn glad I don't live in Indiana. Reports are that two guards were hurt.
I wonder if Jack Bauer had anything to do with this? (You won't get it if you don't watch the show.)
Drudge links to the story.
From Hollywood Grind:
Akon [ed - raper, er, rapper], a self confessed Muslim who practices polygamy and has 3 wives, shocked an audience and a 14-year-old girl in Trinidad, when Akon brought the girl onstage and dry humped her while also pushing her around the stage.Here's the video, but be warned, it's kind of disturbing, you know, if you don't like watching a 26 year old man forcefully dry humping a 14 year old girl across a stage infront of thousands (hundereds? Not sure...) of people.
Sorry for the lazy posting today. I had a good weekend and am having trouble getting back to work.
But hey, get pumped! 24 is on tonight!
Looks like we can add a few more kills to the kill counter and we may finally get rid of the crappy Palmer.
Here's a comedian's spoof of what it would be like if Australian David Hicks who is currently detained at Gitmo appeared on MTV's Cribs:
Getup.org ruins this comedic video by advertising their website where you can petition for "David's" release. A visit to the site greets you with this message:
Already more than 55,000 people have joined GetUp's petition to the Australian Government, asking our leaders to bring David Hicks home. Vote David Out of the House now, and we'll add your name to the call!Great. Let's just release poor David, it was obviously a misunderstanding. I should probably note some of the background in what led to him being in Gitmo, however.
[Abu Muslim al-Austraili has been held] ... as an unlawful combatant by the United States Government at Guantánamo Bay for more than five years without trial. According to the U.S. government, Hicks served as a common foot soldier with the Taliban in Afghanistan.But that's just according to the US government, and we all know they would create and elaborate lie and waste man power and money imprisoning an Australian citizen they knew to be innocent.
... traveled to Albania, where he joined the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), a paramilitary organisation of ethnic Albanians fighting against Serbian forces in the Kosovo War, and served with them for two months.For those of you who are unaware of the KLA they are an organization that:
... was accused of killing Serb civilians and Albanians perceived as being allied to the Yugoslav government. The Yugoslav authorities, the United States and other Western governments (prior to 1999) considered it to be a terrorist organization. Some former members were also widely regarded as being involved in postwar criminal activities and the destabilization of neighboring states in pursuit of a "Greater Albania".I realize that they were on our side in that particular war, but their goals were far more militant than ours and their tactics were deplorable - yet Abu Muslim al-Austraili had no problem joining up, even posing in some of their bizarre Muslims-with-weapons porn:
On 11 November 1999 Hicks traveled to Pakistan to study Islam. After a period of time he began training with the Lashkar-e-Toiba learning guerrilla warfare, weapons training, including landmines, kidnapping techniques and assassination methods.Free David Hicks!
[US prosecutors] claim that, on an occasion when al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden visited an Afghan camp, Hicks questioned bin Laden about the lack of English in training material and subsequently "began to translate the training camp materials from Arabic to English". Hicks wrote home that he'd met Osama bin Laden 20 times. But he later told investigators he'd exaggerated. He'd seen bin Laden about eight times and spoken to him once.It doesn't seem like an innocent Australian travelling through Afghanistan sightseeing would have met Osama eight times, but who am I to judge?
Hicks spoke to his parents from just outside the southern Afghan city of Kandahar in November 2001. "He said something about going off to Kabul to defend it against the Northern Alliance," Terry Hicks said.Anyway, this "Free David Hicks" thing is just another cause for liberal sheep to jump on in order to demonize America. Abu Muslim al-Austraili has shown that he was willing to fight along side those who kill innocent civilians and went to Afghanistan to fight "the Northern Alliance" and met Osama Bin Laden almost a dozen times - if not more.
I sure hope he wasn't talking about how safe Iraq was, this being Ban Ki-Moon, however, he wasn't:
And now the context:
BAGHDAD (AP) - A rocket landed near the prime minister's office Thursday during the first visit to Iraq by the head of the United Nations in nearly a year and a half, sending Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon ducking unharmed behind a podium at a news conference.Oh, my first comment was somewhat on the mark:
The attack came as Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government said it had been negotiating with Sunni insurgents for months, and the U.S. military said that it had released a senior aide to Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr on al-Maliki's request.
The rocket caused no injuries but rattled the building in the heavily guarded Green Zone, sent small chips of debris floating from the ceiling, and left a three-foot-wide crater about 50 yards away outside.
It struck right after al-Maliki, standing next to Ban, had finished telling reporters that Ban's visit was a sign that Iraq was on the road to stability.Now the right-wing blogosphere is going nuts with death wishes for Ki-Moon:
Yet more proof that prayer does not work.Oh sorry. I'm mistaken. Those are the comments over at MetaFilter about when there was a failed attack on our VP over in Iraq a few weeks ago.
No heart, no guts, no spine, no balls, no brains: there's no way on can kill people like him.
Can we get him near the blast this time, for fuck's sake?
Jawa says this add is Obama supporters cutting Hillary down, according to Fox, Obama's campaign says they know nothing about it:
Maybe it's not from Obama, but the advertisement for Obama's site shows that it's from Obama supporters.
I guess the libs aren't following the Golden Rule of primary politics: don't cut down your opponents. Chances are it'll be Hillary, not Obama, taking on the GOP opponent in 2008, and then all these Obama supporters will either have to do a 180 to support Hillary, or wind up with a Republican President. And to them, which is worse?
Malkin covered the Gathering of Eagles in DC:
The media not only ignored the pro-war demonstrators, but they ignored the fact that 80% of the anti-war crowd seemed to either be Truthers or commies.
Head over to Malkin's blog for more coverage.
Looks like the shit's about to hit the fan! Can Jack handle it? Of course he can! Anyway, get pumped! Here's the preview:
I've forgotten to post my supposedly weekly "Conservative Song" these last two weeks, but I'm remembering now.
This weeks conservative song is "I Fought The Law" by the Bobby Fuller Four (my favorite version), a classic song promoting law and order, something conservatives cherish. I could post the Greenday version, but I think it's automatically stripped of all conservativeness when they sing it... Anyway, here it is:
And here're the lyrics:
Breakin rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won (twice)
I needed money cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won (twice)
I left my baby and it feels so bad

Guess my race is run
Shes the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the

News Busters has dug up a CNN report on Clinton's mass attorney firings, in which they show just how balanced their coverage is:
...an April 12, 1993 CNN special report where reporter Ken Bode called it a “one-day clean sweep.” Reno declared: “I have asked for their resignations at the request of the President…It’s important that we build a team that reflects our desire to have a Justice Department marked by excellence, marked by diversity, marked by professionalism, and integrity. I want teamwork where we’re both interested in achieving justice throughout America.”It just so happens that in order to build diversity, Clinton had to fire every single hold-over attorney from a Republican President. The media ignores this story, Clinton firing every single Republican attorney at once (all 93 of them), but talks of how GW's firing 8 random attorneys calls for an investigation "all the way to the top?"
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Before you all go out to get completely wasted tonight, take a minute to read about the "man behind the green beer," the true reason for the holiday, St Patrick. The article's from Slate, but its surprisingly not complete crap.
Ah, and to think, in Boston the Dropkick Murphys are having an awesome St. Patrick's day concert right now...
What's funnier than joking about wanting to kill the POTUS? Pretty much everything. But leave it to Digg to have this right on their (video) homepage:
Here's the video:
And here are the "tags" that College Humor gives it:
Wow. Real funny.
Some of the unhinged comments over there:
Who doesnt? I mean come on. I really want to kill the president of the united states, with a mortor [sic] launcher. First!Most of those are just stupid college students posting what they find to be funny, therefor, the true award for unhinged moron comment goes to "Happy Happy Happy Man" from - you guessed it - UC Berkley:
Is this true? Cause if so, that's a bunch of bullshit. What happened to freedom of speech up in this piece?
[A mortar launcher is] accurate if you can do math and it has the range and a large enough blast radius that you can be off a few feet. Perfect for killing the pr- I mean WW2 Nazis.
rpg + a plane with airforce and one in the name beats mortar any day
Hmm... it's interesting to know that at this point killing the president would almost be in the country's best interest. I say "almost" because if he died, Cheney would take his place...The base of the Democrat party in this Country has become completely unhinged.
Apparently Hannity doesn't understand Catholic teachings. This makes me sad; I always new that he wasn't the greatest thinker, that his show was a feel good talk show (as opposed to Limbaugh, who has substance). Here's Hannity arguing with a Catholic priest about birth control:
Assuming you know anything about Catholic theology, you know Hannity is way off. The priest might have pointed that out had Hannity let him get a word in.
Hannity keeps spouting Scripture like some bible-thumping Protestant. Apparently he doesn't realize the Church has been given the ability to interpret Scripture to help Catholics lead a more moral life. The old Testament tells us that God is against birth control; he actually kills Onan for "pulling out" early. As a Catholic figure, Hannity shouldn't be acting like a man of the Faith while at the same time going against Church teaching. No one said being a Catholic was easy.
Hannity shows his misunderstanding of the issue when he says the Church allows birth control, doesn't it father, referring to natural family planning, the process of following a woman's ovulation cycle and having sex at times when pregnancy is least likely. This isn't birth control! This is embracing part of God's nature and limiting the chances of pregnancy! Birth control is having no self control and having sex whenever you want to, "consequence" free, by using artificial methods.
Hannity needs some more theology lessons. Just because he disagrees with, or doesn't understand, Church teachings doesn't make them wrong. It makes him a flawed human (which we all are) who either needs to study theology further to come to terms with these issues, or pick a new religion that lets him create his own dogma, something he apparently thinks he's entitled to do now.
Hat tip to Hot Air for the video.
For some reason Ace had some post the other day (maybe yesterday - maybe today) about super humans or something. Maybe this is what he was talking about (it's not):
Apparently you don't want to mess with a whale: "The current was pushing the divers into the whale," said Bridget Server, who videotaped the encounter. "They were basically right on top of the whale." In fact, a group of three divers including Thornton had drifted directly above a 40-ton mother whale and her eight-ton baby, which was sleeping on her back. From his hospital bed, Thornton explained what happened next. "They both came up under us. The calf got spooked, spooked the mother," he said. "The mother flipped and threw the group every which way but loose." The force was so intense, a videotape recording of the accident shows the actual impact and snapping of Thornton's femur, or thigh bone. You can hear a loud pop when his leg is broken.
Who in their right mind would swim up to a 40 ton whale?
Watch the video to hear the sickening pop when the divers leg is broken (the below should work soon. If not, the video is here.):
A pretty funny (read: cheesy) public service add from Iraq to recruit policemen (hat tip: Hot Air):
As Allah notes: "I wonder if it’ll earn them a single extra recruit above and beyond what they get from offering good pay."
Sorry about the slow posting (or rather no posting) this weekend, I was busy having fun, enjoying the last of my spring break, which is sadly now over.
The only story I missed that I really care about is the possibility of Fred Thompson entering the Presidential race. He pretty much rocks, mostly conservative on everything that matters, with the occasional well intentioned slip-up.
Here's the video of where he stands on the issues (something you can't find for say, Mitt Romney), hat tip to Hot Air:
He was a Senator from Tennessee, replacing Gore and being reelected with Tennessee's largest landslide for a state-wide office, or something, and now acts (on Law and Order) as well as serving as a visiting fellow for the American Enterprise Institute, researching national security and intelligence (automatically giving him more national security experience than, say, Obama).
Man, it takes balls to mock the liberal media on their own turf, at the Radio-Television News Directors Association awards ceremony. But that's exactly what Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes did when accepting his "First Amendment Award:"
Funny stuff, hat tip: Hot Air.
Ever wonder why we don't hear from "moderate" Muslims? This CBC report should give you an idea:
Hat tip: LGF
So this is an awesome video. It's what some would call military porn:
Hat tip to Allah at Hot Air, who apparently didn't want to find this on YouTube. He says, "It’s true, you can’t win the war through military means alone. But every little bit helps."
Note: The quality is way better if you go to this external site. Maybe that's why Allah didn't use YouTube.
Further Note: I give this video a day before it's labeled "obscene" for portraying the deaths of "heroes trying to defend their homeland from aggressors."
