Paris Hilton now 28, this week launched the Mideast edition of her "Paris Hilton's My New BFF" series in the glitzy sheikdom. If you were born before 1950, BFF stands for best friends forever. If you were born 28 years ago, a BFF should last you about two weeks.
Ian Dunt tells us that "The debate over animal welfare is misguided. Where human need clashes with animal rights, humans must take precedence."
We can expect in the coming weeks to be deluged with analysis of Michael Jackson's finances, the custody battles for his children, the creditors suing against his royalties, and speculations of the cause of his death.
At 3:30 this morning I awoke from the shaking of the Norwegian Dawn as it was backing up against heavy winds and torrential rains. I went out on the veranda and saw spotlights on a small sailboat that looked on the verge of overturning.
Today we'll be leaving on vacation for Bermuda, a country with a population just 10% larger than the city I live in, Bayonne, New Jersey. Despite those low numbers, Bermuda is the third most densely populated place on earth.
In this YouTube video we see that it is possible to boycott Israeli products if you don't mind living in a tent and your lifestyle isn't much different than it was in the 7th Century.
In my article 13 Beautiful Muslim Women I show what happens to Muslim women from Pakistan and Bangladesh who have the nerve to ask their husbands for a divorce: they get acid thrown in their face. Rarely does the husband even get arrested, let alone convicted.
On Wednesday Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh, with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, was testifying at a hearing at the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works hearing when he began to answer one of idiot Sen. Boxer's questions with "ma'am." Boxer arrogantly immediately cut him off, "Do me a favor, could you say 'senator' instead of 'ma'am?' It's just a thing, I worked so hard to get that title, so I'd appreciate it, yes, thank you."
Has a gloom gathered around your life? Has some former friend been particularly spiteful toward you? Has the downsize demon descended on your place of employment? Has some nasty bank foreclosed on your ancestral home? Did the love of your life abscond with your life savings and leave with your best friend?
Japan in 1940 was 85% to 95% Shinto or Buddhist. After decades of American occupation, the numbers haven't changed. 64 years after surrendering to us, there is no white/christian dominion over Japan. The culture has remained Japanese, they still write in the same script, and the only real difference is that thousands of years of belligerent dreams of world conquest have been redirected toward productive and peaceful ventures.
Former U.S. President and current idiot Jimmy Carter is on a visit to the Middle East which includes stops in Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and the Palestinian Territories in order to collect blood money for his bashing of Israel. In the West Bank, Carter was awarded the Palestine International Award for Excellence and Creativity. If you don't know what that means, it should be noted that the so-called Palestinians do not create and have not created anything worthwhile in their entire history (which is a little over 40 years).
Sometimes, you cause your own problems. When I was a child in the 1950s, a standard doctrine of common law was that if a person was injured in part due to his or her own negligence, that is to say, their negligence "contributed" to the accident, then they would not be entitled to collect any money damages from another party who supposedly caused the accident.
On 9 September 1850, California became a state.
The people had no electricity.
The state had no money.
Almost everyone spoke Spanish.
There were gunfights in the streets.
Ironically, while most of Europe is only now realizing what a blunder socialism really is, we in America elect the most socialist President in history.
It is human nature to either believe in the worst in people or in the best in people. Jews who believed in the worst in people, like Alfred Einstein, left Germany in the early 1930s; up to 150,000 Jews who believed in the best in people, defended, excused, or closed their eyes to the atrocities around them while they served in the Wehrmacht during Hitler's reign.
If you are a typical Muslim apologist, I know what you are going to say, "Bernie, that is racist, and bigoted anti-Muslim illustration." Actually, it is a sketch by Iranian-born, award-winning cartoonist and illustrator Hamid Bahrami now living in the US.
Leftists, pacifists, and anti-war demonstrators think they are doing the world good by keeping their country from engaging in war. In actual fact, American pacifists in the 1930s made possible the appeasement of Hitler which led to World War II.
Well I hope the world finally realizes that Muslims are like crack babies: no one wants to take them in unless they get beaucoup bucks. There are less than 21,000 Palauans whose main religion is Christianity with less than 10% practicing Modekngei, a pinapple-Christianity, that is, a mixture of Christianity, fortune-telling, and Palauan religion.
In his speech in Cairo, Presidente Obama said, "I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear."
I applaud him in his efforts. I would like him in fact to disabuse me of my negative notions of Islam, in particular, that Islam encourages the abuse of human rights. I know that I am wrong; I know that my mind is filled with inaccurate, untruthful negative stereotypes of Islam. For example, I can't shake the feeling that Islam is still engaged in 7th century practices such as slavery, forced conversions, and vaginal mutilation.
A doctor on his morning walk noticed an old woman sitting on her front step smoking a cigar. Deep wrinkles furrowed her forehead, her face leathery from years of sun. He walked up to her and said, "I couldn't help but notice how happy you look! What is your secret?"
Before an audience of enemies to his country, President Obama said, "I know that Islam has always been a part of America's story". That is true.
U.S. President Barack Obama on Saturday marked the 65th anniversary of the D-Day landings on France’s Normandy beaches. I have been able to obtain the text to a speech that Obama wanted to deliver, but changed his mind at the last minute because of all the flack he received on his Cairo speech.
Hopefully a successful trial will encourage France to ban that other fake cult, Islam, as well, which we all know is a political movement no different than Nazism and with the same two goals: world domination under one Fuhrer Caliph and the utter and complete destruction of the Jews.
Despite what Obama said in his speech, America and Islam are mutually exclusive.
If you are born in America, you can renounce your citizenship without incurring the death penalty. If you are born a Muslim, you renounce your religion under the penalty of death. (Unless you are a woman, where you only get lashed)
When President Obama told Laura Haim on Canal Plus, a French television station, that the "United States also could be considered as 'one of the largest Muslim countries in the world,'" a few leftist blogs tried to defend that mistaken notion.
Here's the deal: if a neighborhood has been terrorized by burglars and officers assigned to an anti-burglary unit come upon a fellow at 2 in the morning walking with a mask, gloves, crowbar, rope, lock-picking tools, an empty sack and doesn't live in the neighborhood and is not a construction worker on his way to work, the cops will definitely arrest the guy for the crime of having in his possession tools intended to be used in the commission of a burglary. No doubt about it.
Some of my readers who might be traveling to the Middle East this summer will find that almost all the official phrase-books do not cover the most important aspects of travel in Arab countries. So in case you ever run into a group of friendly Janjaweed villagers (pictured here), I have compiled this list of useful Arab phrases from the Internet (with a few of my own thrown in) to help you make new friends.
Blogger Daphne at Jaded Haven came close to ripping out a school librarian’s throat over a parking space. Her car was standing in one of eight empty handicapped spaces where she was waiting to collect her child who volunteered for Safety Patrol; a busybody without enough math skills to count the empty spaces asked her to move.
When I was 6 years old my mother took me to the women's locker room at Orchard Beach to change. It was not unusual in those days for youngsters like myself to put on my swimming trunks among naked and semi-naked women. No one paid attention to me.
A Muslim convert who said he was opposed to the U.S. military shot two soldiers outside an Arkansas recruiting station, killing one of the soldiers. Sheikyermami over at Winds of Jihad wonders if Obama will condemn this Muslim as he has the Christian killer of George Tiller.
Interestingly, Michael Moore is just as happy to see GM go bankrupt as I am, but for different reasons. Sadly, the poor fool doesn't even want to admit that the Unions finally killed the auto industry as they killed every other business they unionized.
Truce, to civilized peoples, means that both sides wish to stop the killing and perhaps find a negotiated solution. Truce, to uncivilized peoples, and by uncivilized peoples I mean Muslims, means buying time to rebuild until the next assault.
