Mahmoud meets the newest challenger in town.



Could it be? Are we getting ready to see the latest one-on-one royal rumble in Tehran?

Somebody call Don King. I'll go grab the coffee, and see if I can find my supply of "funneh" around here.

Happy Independence Day, y'all! Blogging will probably be light over here today, but hopefully, this picture of Mahmoud and his "special" friend will help make up for it:



(Yeah, that really is all I've got for now. It's a lazy day for me!)

You might think you're the stuff of legend, until you cower at the sight of a piddly little effigy.



Back to Rage School with you, silly newbie. You have much left to learn yet. Continue reading »

Incidentally, googling around for comment against denmark is probably one of the laziest ways I've seen to find a nice, juicy topic like this. 0 points for creativity, MAKE.

As Frank J. of IMAO points out, we've got much bigger problems to worry about than the White House:

A lot of people take politics really seriously. They're like, "If Obama gets elected or McCain gets elected and lets all the illegal immigrants in America, the world is going to end!" That's stupid. The way the world is going to end is if it gets hit by an asteroid. With everyone worrying about the stupid election, I don't think anyone is paying attention to the asteroids. One could hit us tomorrow and that's like it. We're all dead. Are the candidates talking about asteroids? No. They're talking about the economy and gas prices. Well, that's not going to help us. Doesn't matter if we have a lot of money; you can't bribe an asteroid. And I don't know what you'll do with gas to try and stop the asteroid except maybe coat it in it and set it on fire -- which will just get you a big flaming asteroid which is even worse.

Right now, the asteroids are hiding out between Jupiter and Mars plotting and planning and making their physics calculations on exactly how to launch themselves to hit us. If we want to stop them, we need a plan. Hundreds of years ago, the asteroids killed the dinosaurs. Know why? They didn't have a plan. We're going to be different.

And the plan is not going to be, "Let's just shoot the asteroid and blow it up." This isn't some videogame; you can't stop rock by shooting it. It's not a gorilla. And if you did play the videogame, you'll know that even if you succeed, you'll just turn the asteroid into multiple smaller asteroids which are just as deadly. We need a smart plan to stop the asteroids.

I got one. Here's what we'll do: We'll paint Mars blue. The asteroids will see Mars, think it's us, and hit it instead. It's simple and it will work. So you're asking, "Why not paint Venus? It's the same size and should make a more convincing Earth." That's idiotic. For one thing, it's super-hot there, so how the hell do you plan on painting it? Also, it's further away from the asteroid belt than us, so the asteroids will see the real Earth before seeing the decoy Earth. Painting Venus is a truly idiotic plan. You're disgustingly stupid for even suggesting it. This is why I sometimes think of just giving up blogging because I just can't deal with people as stupid as you are.

Sheer brilliance from the man who came up with the legendary plan to bring about world peace via nuking the moon. Be sure to click on over to IMAO and read the rest of Frank's awesome plan!

The dastardly Elder of Ziyon has an amazingly succinct write-up exploring the "natural" origins of Palestinian murderousness, and contrasting it with the onerous restrictions to which Israel voluntarily complies.

A sneak peek:

One of the usual responses by Palestinian Arabs to terror attacks - besides celebration and joy - is to tell the West that these attacks are a "natural reaction" to "Zionist crimes."

Hamas used those words yesterday as they praised the attack, and a Firas Press op-ed said the same thing this morning.

No one seems to notice that only the Arabs are allowed to "naturally" murder. Israel doesn't have that luxury - its acts must withstand the tightest scrutiny before even being decided upon. Those evil Zionists cannot naturally believe in revenge or murder because those are, well, evil. But the poor oppressed Palestinian Arabs are naturally allowed to act aggressively.

North Carolina governor Mike Easley has some explainin' to do:

Gov. Mike Easley [a Democrat, incidentally] on Tuesday defended overseas cultural exchange trips led by his wife that cost taxpayers $109,000, saying such visits can reap exponentially larger monetary rewards for the state with art exhibits.

Mary Easley, an executive assistant and a Highway Patrol trooper traveled to France in May 2007, while the first lady and state arts leaders also went to Russia and Estonia in May this year.

For the France trip, taxpayers paid more than $27,000 for the chauffeured Mercedes sport utility vehicle that Mary Easley used, according to The News & Observer of Raleigh, which first reported on the expenses.

Another $8,900 was paid to the first lady, the assistant and a state highway patrol trooper, who provided security, to stay in a hotel and participate in a Monet-themed tour.

Of course, if memory serves correctly, some guy named Benjamin Franklin travelled to France, too. Did he need a $27,000 chauffeured Mercedes SUV? Nope. Did he even have bodyguards? Not in the least, as he was reported to have gotten a lot of attention by walking around the streets of Paris alone.

But hey, I guess there's gotta be a rational explanation for this. Could it be that the Easley family is infinitely more important to our nation than Ben was?

Pfft. That whole "electricity" thing was highly overrated anyway.

Big h/t William Teach, who actually has to live with the utter brilliance that is North Carolina governance.

(Spoken as a true Virginia Tidewater boy, of course. )
