Gallup: Liberalism is a Mental Disorder

This has been said often enough by the frequently controversial Michael Savage, but it's pretty funny to see a group as reputable* as Gallup finding support for that statement: (h/t The Bashman)

Mental certainty.


* "Liars, damned liars, and statistics." Oh yeah, and polling groups. I'm not taking these results seriously, folks!

Side note: You'll be amused to read Savage's lawsuit against the Council on American-(terrorist) Relations, filed earlier today. (h/t Jason Kenney)

Bonus Friday Fun: 360 in a Pipe

There's more than one way to skin a cat. Or a skater, as the case may be:

 

Supremely Cool Traffic

Now this is definitely the kind of reader that any blog would be happy with, even if it isn't one of the Right Honourable gentlemen:

Talk about a tough crowd!


Hopefully, I didn't offend anyone's sensibilities... ;-)
 

We Support Our Thugs

Quite a touching display, courtesy the "moderate" Fatah party.

Update: Wow... are my eyes deceiving me? It looks to me like the following photo is of an admitted Al-Aqsa weapon leaning against the wall—A U.S.-made M-16 rifle?! Apparently, arming terrorists is now a de-facto role of the United States State Department.

(And to think that I can distinctly recall hearing warnings about that particular weapons transfer.... But hey, we're not the only ones doing it, so whatever. If Israel's cool with Olmert leading them to national suicide, what the heck can I do about it?)

Update: Bob Owens doesn't think it's such a big deal, and I reckon I understand his approach—It just irritates me to no end whenever I see American weaponry in the hands of people who get their thrills out of the murder of innocents:

Brian,

M-16s have been around for 40 years, and we've been giving them or selling to friendly governments probably most of that time. I've seen U.S. weapons in terrorist hands before, and don't think it is that big of a deal, unless we are directly arming them now.

FYI: The scope appears to be an older generation 1 night vison scope.

Rage Boy Watch: Srinagar 30-Nov-2007

The All-Parties Hurriyat Conference, party of Rage Boy, seems to have hosted a "pro-freedom" protest over in Srinagar today. Will our eternally-enraged friend make an appearance? Only time will tell...

Update: Negatory. While we've seen some very familiar faces in the group, it would appear that Rage Boy was a no-show for this protest. Or if he was there, he was ignored by the reporters. (It's interesting to see the AFP step back and show us a glimpse of some of the other photographers present for this event. Are they finally heeding Christopher Hitchens' advice?)

A Litany of Endless Demands

Hamas once again manipulates the entire population of the Gaza Strip into yet another photogenic mass rally "demanding" yet again that Israel ignore all of the crimes Hamas has committed against it and end the (rather gentle) embargo (more, more) against the terrorist entity.

The key has a very specific meaning, by the way. Also note that today's Friday, the Islamic day of prayer, so it's not like Hamas had to work very hard to get these loyal citizens out of their already-quite-mob-inciting mosques.

Update: Is this yet another anti-Annapolis protest? Some of the captions coming in indicate that this is the case, making this roughly Day 4 of Annapolis rage. Continue reading »
 

Nothing but Total Conquest

It's good to see the Associated Press acknowledge that the map in this picture encompasses the entire Israeli nation, though I do think that they're still missing the point by a wide margin.

Israel says the barrier is necessary for security while Palestinians call it a land grab. (AP Photo/Kevin Frayer)
