Snapped Shot

According to Prince Charles, not much except pouring more money in to getting rid of the stuff.

Prince Charles converted his Aston Martin that he only drives 300 miles a year to burn surplus English wine. The wine is converted into an ethanol mixture.

As part of cutting his carbon footprint, the prince has converted the 38-year-old classic car - a 21st birthday present from the Queen - to run on 100 per cent bioethanol fuel distilled from surplus British wine.

This car runs on 100% ethanol?? Isn't that dangerous to the car's metallic or aluminum parts? My question, is this really a "green" alternative? Consider the following:

Now this is the level of narcissistic arrogance I have come to expect from the increasingly mindless world of the Politically Correct. Jimmy, you get an "F" for e"f"fort, indeed:

Amazing white people hate the truth when it comes to this country. THE LAND WAS STOLEN FROM MEXICO. Only convenient history books call it anything other than stealing. Crybaby white people upset because California is becoming Mexico again. It's called JUSTICE. It was their land to begin with. White people are nothing but bastardized descendants of illegal immigrants. It's amazing how all of a sudden Mexicans are called illegal in a territory that once belonged to them. White people! If YOU guys don't like it, YOU GO BACK to where YOUR ancestors came from! I just purchased a CASE of Absolut! More power to you guys!

Moral equivalence? Check.

Blatant racism against white people? Yup.

Third-grader's understanding of "I'm Rubber, You're Glue?" Nicely done.

Jimmy, why not start by asking yourself: What Would Jefferson Davis Do?

Get yourself beaten to a pulp by Hezbullah goons? Nary a word from the press at large.

Hamas spend a bit of time using you as a soccer ball? Hardly a peep is to be expected for your troubles. (And not even one photograph, apparently!)

Get a tiny scratch from the IDF, however, and it's time for weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Boo fricking hoo, I say.

Joey H. sends this one in, and to be quite honest, I can't really find any words to add to it. Maybe it's writer's block, or maybe it's best that I just let the video speak for itself:

Oh, how the television moguls have smiled upon us!

I just ran across Holmes on Homes on TLC over the weekend. Even though it's not showing up on the official TLC program guide at the moment, I'm very happy to be DVR'ing the best home-fixing advice on television once more! Heck, there's even an official press release over here, so it's gotta be permanent, right?

I guess this means that I can stop hanging these little guys all over town now...

There appears to be something of a tiff going on in Srinagar right now, with the wires reporting that they're in the midst of an 8-day strike, instigated by the hardline (and totally "rageiriffic") All Parties Hurriyat Conference.

You know what that means, don't you?



Far be it from me to point out that the timing of this protest, which started on about the same day I left town on vacation, is totally coincidental. Honest.

Anyway, more fully-licensed Islamic Rage Boy hilarity can be found beyond the fold. Stay tuned for updates! Continue reading »

Mahmoud and company are delighted to have me back, for sure:



I'm starting to get caught up with the news feeds, so I'll be chatting with y'all shortly. See you soon! Continue reading »

You know the saying: "We don't make deals with terrorists."

Even Israel in its early years utterly refused to cave in to terrorists even to the point of conducting massive military raids against terrorists holding hostages. They just would not give the terrorists the inkling of an idea that they could get away taking Israeli hostages.

But, these days are different. These days, Political Correctness runs amok. These days, liberal idealism and pocketbook diplomacy rule. Take the recent action in Israel.

From Yahoo News:

The Israeli government agreed Sunday to free a Lebanese gunman convicted in one of the grisliest attacks in the country's history in exchange for the bodies of two Israeli soldiers killed by Hezbollah guerrillas.

The German-mediated deal was a rare political victory for embattled Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and closed a chapter from Israel's inconclusive war against the Lebanese militant group two years ago.

These were the two Israeli soldiers that whose capture led to the Lebanon War (ummm, skirmish\incident) of 2006.

According to cr(AP), this is a victory for Olmert. Releasing a vile, despicable, reprehensible, violent, deadly, (any more descriptors Cletus?) Hezbollah terrorist in exchange for two dead soldiers, soldier body parts and a report on another airman killed in the crash of his plane in 1986. And, explain to me how this closes a chapter when they are releasing a known, convicted, and admitted terrorist?

Now, to give you an idea what this animal did, read this: Continue reading »

It would seem we have another case of an embedded photographer who either promotes or is willingly being used by terrorists to spread terror and butchery.

From Fox News comes a photo and news:

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A gang of Pakistani militants executed two alleged U.S. spies in front of thousands of cheering supporters Friday as a top U.N. official expressed fears that Pakistani government peace deals with the gunmen were sparking a wave of human rights abuses.

At least 5,000 people gathered by a stream in the Bajur region to watch the executions, which highlighted the power of local Taliban forces in the lawless tribal areas near the Afghan border.

Sounds like a pure lynch-mob to me.

And, who was there to document this savage butchery? Yep, you guessed it. Our favorite organization that likes to silence dissent and promote anti-western and anti-democratic ideals.

Question is, looking at that photo and knowing that the photog was RIGHT THERE in between the gunmen, was the photog there to promote this event or were they willingly used by everyone's enemy, the Taliban, to promote their terror in the western media.

What is sad, is that it makes no difference what the answer to that question is. The clear answer now is that the MSM, especially the cr(AP), willingly promotes terror and terroristic propaganda. And, that seems to be just ok with the world.

My question is, after 7 years, why is the Taliban still alive? Isn't it time to lay waste to that worthless area?

From the chad state...

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Racial slurs targeting Barack Obama were discovered spray painted tonight on dozens of city vehicles in Orlando.

...

Along with the paint, hundreds of business cards were left on windshields.

The cards contain criticism of Obama on one side, and support for Hillary Clinton and her family on the other side.

A question to keep you pondering for the rest of the day: Which voters are least intelligent - those who blindly support the word "change" or those unable to follow an arrow? Answer below the fold.

I'm finally back online now, at least for a little bit. It felt great to be away from the Internet and news for so long, though I understand I've missed a little bit? What's this I'm hearing about the Supreme Court making a definitive stance on gun rights, for instance?

Feel free to clue me in on what's going on down in the comments, if you'd like. I'm going to be running around today (recital season) and tomorrow (jury duty?!), but hope to sit down and catch up on my little feed reader here as soon as I can.

Hamas has stated it will not police militants who continue to attack Israel despite the truce. It will, however, hold Israel accountable for any defensive measures it takes in response to the rocket attacks.

Without directly quoting this cr(AP) article, Hamas essentially claims it would be un-Islamic to confront squads launching the missiles or challenge a "resistance fighter." But when border crossings were limited in retaliation, Hamas whined that Israel was in "clear violation" of the truce.

For the life of me, I don't know where Israel gets its patience. If it were my call, Gaza would have been carpet bombed and razed long ago. Islam will not destroy Israel. Political correctness just might.

I'm a legal gun owner, and I haven't gone on a bloody rampage or shot anyone. Is this normal? Because if you believe the liberal media, all of us gun owners should be out creating a blood bath of unprovoked gun violence...

Just curious in case I'm doing something wrong...

I take this story from Fox News.

Israel refused on Friday to fully open crossings with the Gaza Strip and Palestinian militants attacked Israel with mortars, further testing an already fragile truce.

Israel refused to open a border in Gaza which caused the "militants" to respond with mortars. And thus, the truce is "tested".

For the third day in a row, Israel prevented food trucks from entering Gaza by closing crossings in retaliation for repeated Palestinian rocket attacks, Israeli army spokesman Peter Lerner said. Later in the day, Palestinian militants fired two mortar shells toward Israel, Israeli police said, but no injuries or damage were reported. It was not immediately clear which militant faction fired the shells.

So, Israel said.... Israel said. So, Israel said that these militants responded with rockets when Israel prevented food trucks from feeding the poor and hungry oppressed Palestinians. I guess the cr(AP) believes the militants more than Israel. And, does it matter what faction did the launching? They are Palestinians (in name) all. And, as there was no damage reported from these attacks, then no harm no foul.

Only when you get down in to the story, do you find this:
