After the first outburst of the ousted president of Honduras about the Israeli mercenaries that are torturing him with high-frequency radiation, I was rather entertained by this product of his feverish imagination, ready to discount it as a side effect of his besieged existence in the embassy basement and, probably, paranoid mindset to start with. After all, any would be South American ruler must carry a healthy amount of paranoia, lest some of his colleagues decide to unseat him in a South American style putsch.
I was also mindful of many of my blogger colleagues who feel acute discomfort viewing what is considered by many today an unlawful coup that ended in Zelaya's plight - from exile to that embassy basement. Notwithstanding the opinion that there are enough reasons to consider Zelaya's removal a perfectly lawful act.
But then comes another question, which is not a legal issue and one that could be classified as intangible by a stickler for dry logic. Who, indeed, are Zelaya's friends? Aside from his buddy Chaves who coached him on the way to imposing what would have effectively become a dictatorship.
WSJ article Revolutionary Anti-Semitism shows at least one friend more odious than even Caudillo Chavez - one David Romero Ellner, Executive Director of Radio Globo, Honduras.
Mr Ellner takes the feverish revelations of his ex-president a bit further:
Sometimes I ask myself if Hitler wasn't right when he wanted to finish with that race, through the famous holocaust, because if there are people that are harmful to this country, they are the Jews, the Israelites.
Again, like many of his ilk, Ellner is confusing the politically correct "Israelis" with less politically correct "Jews" or "Israelites". Otherwise, he is an all-around fine supporter of Zelaya and Chavez. Well, and a convicted pedophile:
A few years ago he was convicted and served time in prison for raping his own daughter.
There is more information on Mr Ellner, but I have to visit a vomitorium rather urgently, so you will have to read it yourself over there at Sultan Knish's place.
As for myself, I think that Mr Zelaya shouldn't count on my support anymore. Too bad for him.
Update: The pathetic tapeworm apologizes. Says his grandfather was Jewish. Fuck him.
Can't say I hold the late Tricky Dick in high regard. But, saying this, we should remember that, as any man, his personality was more complex than a few black on white lines in the history books. It appears that we, the Israelis, should be more than grateful to Nixon for daring to go where his heart commanded him - without hesitation and doubt.
What is clear, from the preponderance of information provided by those directly involved in the unfolding events, is that President Richard Nixon — overriding inter-administration objections and bureaucratic inertia — implemented a breathtaking transfer of arms, code-named Operation Nickel Grass, that over a four-week period involved hundreds of jumbo U.S. military aircraft delivering more than 22,000 tons of armaments.
Is there a lesson for his successors? Definitely: when you are going to shoot - shoot, don't talk.
Is there a lesson for us? Absolutely: be prepared and don't count on another Operation Nickel Grass...
Officers said they found it loitering near a fence "trying to look innocent", reports the Northern Territory News.
And of course there is a stool pigeon involved:
Locals called out the police after the 7ft saltwater crocodile turned up at Arrkuluk Camp in the Northern Territory.
So, where is that famous presumption of innocence, I ask you? Isn't it a case of pure unadulterated speciism? Is it enough to be looking different and innocent now to be arrested?
I think a good reptilian lawyer - a lizard or, even better, a snake, will easily demolish the prosecution case.
Every couple of months the search engines go wild again looking for that Demi Moore Bush pic. It usually coincides with either Demi Moore or her husband, Ashton Kuchner, doing something or other.
Well, one needs to keep the surfers calm, so here:
It's not exactly a bush, as you surely notice, but it's as twisted as your fingers will become if you surf too much for such stuff. Not to speak about hair growing on your palms.
I, personally, blame Bush for this too. Works anytime.
An interesting post by Johnathan Hoffman on CiF Watch. I guess I am going to read this book, in spite of being wary of buying books upon reading a review.
And a sequel, also by Johnathan Hoffman on Antony Lerman's "critique" of the book. My money will be on the bet that Lerman didn't read it (yet, let's say).
Anyway, when Lerman uses soundbites like "sheer intellectual laziness", it sounds like fun. Makes a good point why I would want to read that book.
No, this is not one of these slightly photoshopped numbers. This is a real McCoy, according to this article:
According to what is known, the (female) driver that tried to exit her parking slot, went backwards by mistake and... [blah blah blah]. No one was hurt in the accident.
Unfortunately, the picture above is pixelated to hide the license numbers and the maker's logo on the top one is a bit smudged, but I am sure that it's a Ford and the bottom one is Peugeot. Which goes to prove the point.
Ehehe... I know it's pointless to mention that driving, talking on a cell phone and touching up one's makeup should be three activities separated in time... never mind.
Iran said on Monday that the chief of the UN atomic watchdog Mohamed ElBaradei was full of praise for Tehran's "cooperation" over its nuclear programme during his weekend visit to the Islamic republic.
Yeah... he is certainly full of it. A bit more and he will start squeaking. Like one of these:
The latest do on an Air India flight from United Arab Emirates to New Delhi served as a resounding slap on the face of all the doubters and detractors of the finest and most sophisticated Airbus products:
Air India said yesterday that it was investigating allegations of a mid-air brawl in which pilots and cabin crew exchanged blows in front of startled passengers. The fight broke out after a female attendant accused the pilots of sexually harassing her, it was claimed.
Notice that both the captain and the co-pilot where accused. This is what I call a real cockpit!
It started in the cockpit but spilled out into the galley of the plane as about 100 passengers looked on. It is thought the plane was travelling at 30,000 feet during the punch-up. The cockpit of the Airbus A-320 was left unmanned at one point, and one of the pilots threatened to divert the plane to Pakistan, the Times alleged.
And I have no doubt whatsoever that the plane would have made that side trip to Pakistan if it were necessary.
We hear that Air India and other airlines are considering a plan to equip the planes with detachable wooden chair legs, empty beer bottles, pots and pans of several kinds and other handy accessories to allow full participation for the passengers.
The dry bureaucratic term "cabin entertainment system" is getting a completely new meaning. Now the flight time will really fly!
The story is not, strictly speaking, new. The Jewish roots of so called Mr Ahmadinejad (Saburjian really) have been already discussed earlier this year. Of course, when The Telegraph gets on the subject, the waves are much higher than when it's only Radio Free Europe. No matter, it's all for the best. And there is no arguing with this suggestion:
Experts last night suggested Mr Ahmadinejad's track record for hate-filled attacks on Jews could be an overcompensation to hide his past.
So, here's looking at Mahmoud the Mad: we already know what he is so mad about, and the only thing to clear up is whether he is really Mahmoud.
Moshe would be my bet. But who knows...
Otherwise, some of the younger but aspiring candidates to the Elders' outfit clamor for immediate acceptance of Moshe ( temporary name) Saburjian to the Elders' HQ ranks. Which is a tall order. Usually we require one of the following achievements prior to signing up a candidate:
taking a leading role in some major political mayhem in country of residence
several disastrous anti-Semitic speeches in public forums
being such a major pain in the arse that even one's allies get a turn-off
destroying economy of a Zionism-opposing nation
becoming so hated by own people that they may prefer embracing...
What, all of the above? Including... yes... yes... you don't say... oh boy...
OK, Moishe Saburjian:
You are accepted, congratulations. Please apply to the local branch of the Elders for your orders as soon as the holidays are over. Meanwhile continue with your current activities. Yes, doing real good.
Didn't have time to find something better, so here.
Happy Sukkot to everyone who cares, Jewish and non-Jewish.
And if you, seeing the above picture, wondered whether there are Jewish Inuits, here is the answer.
But most of them are where they usually are - Alaska, Canada, Greenland, keeping an eye on things for the Elders. Who usually flock to warmer regions...
I thought I will never be more confused by the intricacies of English than I already am. But this news item simply disabused me of this, obviously erroneous, notion.
Local media last week reported she was sentenced to two years of probation for stealing credit cards and spending $5,642 on lingerie, cell phones and meals at fancy restaurants.
So, when you steal a credit card and use it to purchase stuff, the kind of fraud (and, probably, the punishment) depends on what you purchase. Like in this case it's called lingerie fraud.
So, if I buy a car with a stolen card, it will be, probably, called automotive fraud. If it is a cell phone, it will be a mobile fraud? If it is sex, then, it will be a f... no, I cannot get my head around it, sorry.
