Snapped Shot

Always Watching the All-Seeing Eye

 

I Can't Fathom a World Without

... the irreplaceable Cox and Forkum. Don't leave now, guys! If you quit cranking out your masterpieces, then the terrorists have already won!

I, personally, am outraged.
 

Move On™ Already... Or else!

I always love it when someone gives me an excuse to use Photoshop:

Phear the Parachute Pants, yo.

 

One Man's Militant

Despite the fact that even Reuters itself refers to all of the Palestinians who were allowed across Egypt's Rafah crossing with Gaza last night as "Militants," it is interesting to see that the photography desk decided to strike the term. One wonders how "extreme" a militant must be, before our intrepid Reuters photographers agree to call them as such.

The original caption read, "Palestinian militants arrive through the Rafah border crossing into Gaza September 30, 2007. Scores of Palestinian militants who had been stranded in Egypt since Hamas seized Gaza in June returned to the territory on Sunday, witnesses said, signalling possible new accommodation between Cairo and the Islamist group.

Real Life! Rage Boy Sighting

CNN affiliate IBN Live catches the Rage Boy fever!

Thanks to Weasel Zippers, via Hot Air, we get to see a live television interview of Shakheel Bhat, the world-famous Rage Boy. Watch carefully, by the way—IBN quotes Snapped Shot early in the report.



Don't forget to buy your Rage Boy swag here. It really makes him mad. And if you're coming here from IBN Live, feel free to share your thoughts. I always enjoy hearing from new readers!

Oh, and for the record, there hasn't been a new "Rage Boy Sighting" of Mr. Bhat in a very long time. I'm definitely starting to miss the li'l fellow, though his successors are certainly making a valiant effort.
 

Oh, the Humanity!

Here's yet another photo of heartless Israeli oppression. Imagine the sheer audacity of this soldier, helpfully pointing an obviously belligerent woman in the direction of the queue—Oh, the outrage!

An Israeli soldier gestures as a Palestinian woman argues as she is prevented from to crossing a checkpoint on her way to Jerusalem's Al Aqsa Mosque for the holy month of Ramadan near the West Bank town of Bethlehem, Friday, Sept. 28, 2007. Israel placed restrictions on Palestinian worshippers from the West Bank trying to enter Islam's third holiest shrine Friday, only allowing men older than 50 years and women over 40.

Someone remind me: Why do we bother employing photojournalists in the Middle East again? The ones already over there are so far in the bag for the "opposition" team that I really must wonder how any editor worth his salt would allow any of their material onto the news wires.

Being "impartial" is one thing, but this is ridiculous. Enough cheerleading for the terrorists already!
 

That Impenetrable Wall

Here's yet another photojournalist, showing yet another way for Palestinian terrorists to sneak through the racist, apartheid wall into Israeli territory:

Palestinians are silhouetted as they make their way through a spillway to bypass the Israeli built controversial separation barrier in the al-Ram, just north of Jerusalem. The Israeli military killed three Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, bringing to 12 the death toll in one of the bloodiest 24 hours in the Hamas-run territory in recent months.(AFP/Abbas Momani)


Oh, how I yearn for the days when treason was still taken seriously.
 

King Sofa Missile Company

There's an old joke that goes something along the lines of the headline—one that is particularly applicable to this latest Iranian wonder:

"We Todd did."

Orig: For the anniversary of the “Holy Defense”, the start of war with Iraq, among other activities, street exhibitions of Islamic Republic’s military might were held in different cities. This picture shows a missile, apparently called “Retard”. (Kamangir)


Thanks for the laugh, Arash!
